Xbox: No Longer Just a Console
Feb 6, 2018 | X-Box
Microsoft joined the home gaming system market in 2001 with the release of the Xbox game console. With one giant black box and five release games, the console set a new standard in gaming capabilities that the other players, like Sony, were forced to keep up with.
Since that release 16 years ago, Xbox has grown to one of the largest, most influential gaming systems, companies and online trend setters, ever. In this article, we will take a look at the iconic game console that started a revolution in home video games.
The Consoles
There has been a grand total of seven different consoles released by Microsoft in the last 16 years. Each with slightly different components and capabilities. Three of the consoles were major releases with the other four being one-offs of the major releases.
This doesn't include the various "special releases" of identical boxes. Some were gaming bundles with special colors, or special abilities, includes or downloads.
In 2001 the Microsoft Xbox was released. With the release came five games, the most popular of which was Halo: Combat Evolved. The console itself was large. Jokes were made about the size of the box, even so far as to prompt a comic showing different uses, such as a booster seat from grandma.
However, the insides were what made the console special. With a smaller nanometer chipset, a cooler running module and responsive hard drive, the games played on the system were near flawless and made gaming enjoyable.
The system wasn't without problems though. The infamous Red Ring of Death, caused by improper heat shrink tubing, made a lot of warranty calls necessary. Microsoft even extended the warranty period for the first four release batches of the system, which eventually grew to include all of them.
The system did not lose much traction though, and game studios began to realize the potential of the machine and its components and were able to begin producing rich, detailed and impressive games for the unit.
In May of 2005, Xbox announced a new console. One to compete with the impressive Wii from Nintendo and the popular PlayStation 3 from Sony. The Xbox 360 took a stranglehold on the online community by expanding its online persona Xbox Live. Now players could download content, stream videos and music through Microsoft services, and with the advent of the "Silver" class, could do it for free (although limited). Upgrade to the "Gold" account of Xbox Live and you had no limits.
A year later the console saw a rebirth and one of the most popular forms of the console to date: Xbox 360 Elite. The Elite was black, instead of the standard white, and featured a 90nm chipset, which ran faster, quieter, and cooler. The Elite virtually eliminated any Red Ring issues and saw a single off-shoot called the Halo 3 Edition, which was a Marine Green color schemed Elite, bundled with an HDMI port, a Marine green colored Xbox Elite controller and headset, and a Play and Charge kit.
In 2010, the other major 360 release came out: The Xbox 360 S. The "s" standing for slim. It was a complete redesign with added features. The smaller, slimmer box now had built-in wireless, the 90nm chipset form the Elite, and more cooling ports, USB ports and the Xbox Kinect; a motion detection controller where the player used their body to control the games.
Competing for dominance in the eighth (and current) console generation, Microsoft released the Latest model: the Xbox One, in 2013. With the newly designed console, players had a larger focus on online content and abilities, included streaming and recording gameplay.
After security concerns and a pre-sale misunderstanding of Digital Rights, the console met all expectations. The ability to connect to Microsoft based computers, Xbox Live and use features such as Xbox Glass, the Xbox 1 became the benchmark for gaming excellence.
However, Microsoft wasn't done. They created the first off-shoot: Xbox One S, again a slimmer, faster and cooler design. The 2016 design had all of the main components and features of the Xbox One but in a smaller, slimmer and white case.
One year later, Microsoft announced a new project: Project Scorpio. By the End of 2017, everyone knew what the project was, and the final name of the console was given: Xbox One X (XoX).
The XoX is currently the most powerful, most responsive gaming console on the market. With dual 8-core Jaguar processors, dedicated flash memory for the overclocked CPU, and preprocessing chipset, the Xbox one X, is compatible with monitor resolutions, frame rates and high definition settings that haven't even been released.
While the overall sales still favor longtime favorites Nintendo and Sony, Microsoft concentrates more on gamer enjoyment and state of the art benchmarks that continue to raise the bar. If the console wars keep up, we are in for a very exciting and bright home gaming console future.
Where We Have Come From
As soon as the first Xbox hit the shelves in 2001, Microsoft set a standard in home gaming. Game manufactures clamored at the chance to build games for the platform using the latest and greatest technology.
With these new abilities, games have seen an increase in size, complexity and even cheating. Game codes, and "cheat codes" are not new to console gaming. Button press sequences have been a standard Easter egg since gamers have had buttons to press.
The most famous of which has been nicknamed the Konami Code. The button combination was first discovered in Konami's hit game: Contra. Everyone that has ever picked up a controller knows the code: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select (optional), start. In Contra, the code gave you and player two (if you pressed select) 30 lives instead of the default 3.
Now, games come with a code input box on a menu screen. You can unlock game components, such as new weapons, special abilities, extra lives and even new playable characters. Developers place these codes in on purpose for testing, and most stay through the production of the game to be discovered later by the players.
Grand Theft Auto (GTA) by Rockstar Games, is notorious for their cheat codes. In fact, GTA 5 cheat codes are some of the most heavily searched codes online.
Xbox introduced the online community to Xbox Live, a marketplace where players could access updates to their favorite games, downloads, music, events and movies. Over time, vendors of all sorts began making apps for the Xbox Live marketplace, including HBO, Netflix, Pandora and thousands of others.
Streaming live TV, music and videos, as well as games, became the norm. Players also have access to live game content where you can play with or against other live players in your favorite games.
Xbox Live has two accounts; Silver and Gold. The Silver account is a free, and limited account. You will have access to the marketplace, arcade and updates. Some features, such as Microsoft Video, Microsoft Music and Netflix are also available to the Silver accounts. For about $60 a year, you can upgrade to the Gold account where you have full access to all features.
One of the largest perks includes two to four free game downloads per month. Each year, Xbox releases 50 games to be downloaded for free. If you are on an Xbox 360, you get two of the four monthly games, and those on an Xbox One can access all four. For $60 per year, just in the free games alone, you will end up saving over $400.
There are many other perks to having a Gold account as well. Far too many to list here. While the membership isn't mandatory, it is valuable. So valuable in fact that Sony has introduced their own version, trying to keep up with the standards set by the up and coming console.
Microsoft is relatively new to the console industry. However, with their backing, technology and history, they quickly became a force in the market. With their attention to the player as well as developer roles, the gaming giant has set the bar for what home game consoles should be.
Sony and Nintendo are the only ones able to keep up. Long-standing fan bases of all consoles rally behind their chosen console and create virtual wars against one another, trying to claim the top spot as the best in the business.
While one may not be favored over another for every particular reason, Microsoft has made the industry stand up and take notice, as well as notes. The future of home console gaming will continue to be watched, improved and astounding.
With the big three pushing each other to be better year in and year out, the real winner is the player.

We recently caught up with R. L. Stine on the 20th anniversary of his iconic Goosebumps series to talk about two decades in scaring young readers. While he's mostly known for writing children's horror, it turns out Stine has diverse taste in literature. Read on for his top summer book picks, and also the most overlooked Goosebumps book that he hopes readers will check out.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What are you reading this summer?
R L Stine: I just finished Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, and wow, it's really clever. You think you know what's going on, but you don't. It's nice and nasty, too. And then I also just finished Seating Arrangements by Maggie Shipstead. It's really good, funny, and so involving. It's so well observed, and I couldn't believe it was written by a 29-year-old author, and that she's not from a Northeastern WASP family. She captured all these people who are in a different generation from her.
I'm going to read the new Michael Frayn book, Skios. I love him. Noises Off has to be one of the funniest plays ever written.
Any good children's or YA?
The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen. It has a great protagonist, because the kid is just awful. Just an awful kid — and mean, and uncooperative and terrible. Just a really great protagonist. I thought teenagers would really like him because he's so horrible. I thought it was really well written. For me, it had a great surprise at the end. But everyone I've given it to, they call me and say they guessed the surprise on page 22. I write this stuff, but I can never figure it out when I'm reading a mystery. I'm always surprised. My wife thinks it's hilarious. I fall for everything. And I write this stuff! I was just shocked by the end of The False Prince.
What's the Goosebumps book you think is always overlooked but fans should check out?
There is one that I really like that no one knows. It's called Brain Juice. It's one of my favorites. No one ever mentions it, no one ever read it. It's this purple liquid that these two kids drink, and they get smarter and smarter and smarter. They get so smart that they get kicked out of school because they're too smart for school, and they lose all their friends — their friends can't stand them — and they become bigger and bigger geniuses, and these two aliens from another planet come down and see them and say, "Gee, they're smart enough to be slaves on our planet." So they kidnap them and take them off in a space ship to their planet, and as they travel through space, they get stupider and stupider and stupider. I love that. They didn't do a TV show of it, so that might be one reason why it doesn't get remembered. The ones that we made TV shows of, people remember.

November 24, 2009 – If you have decided to make a gold and/or silver investment, congratulations. You are ready to enter the precious metals market, and this is a market that investors have reaped significant benefits from in previous financial cycles, and in the last few years. If you would like to know how to buy gold and silver, you will be pleased to know that it is relatively simple, as long as you deal with a reputable precious metal exchange. Research any potential precious metals dealer by visiting the Better Business Bureau at www.BBB.org.
Once you contact a gold broker that you trust, purchase items that fit your specific needs. Ignore what friends or family have been successful with, and focus on your situation. If you plan to hold your gold between 1-14 months, and you are looking purely for profit, gold bullion could be preferable.
If you are considering a longer-term stake in the gold market, and you would like to protect your remaining assets before our recession saps your accounts further, gold bullion is not advisable. Purchase certified gold and silver coins in this scenario, because they could gain significant value along with gold and silver spot prices, and certified coins are private assets.
Take delivery of your gold and/or silver if possible, and rest assured that the industry leaders will provide you with free shipping for your investments. If you are investing within an IRA, buy physical gold for your IRA instead of gold stocks or shares of gold mining companies, because those speculative investments are not as liquid nor as historically profitable for US investors during recessionary times. Contact GoldSilver.org directly for the best information on the gold and silver markets.

A brand new industrial estate is planned for green fields near Cheltenham.
Chancerygate (Red Lion No 2) Ltd has submitted a planning application to Tewkesbury Borough Council.
It seeks to build 11 industrial units on two fields next to Cleeve Business Park, which is south of the Bishop's Cleeve Bypass on the outskirts of the village.
They would be single-storey factory/warehouse units available for light industrial, general industrial or storage and distribution uses.
Two of them would be large units of about 2,000 sq m and they would be joined by terraces of smaller units, ranging from 300 sq m to 800 sq m.
To the east of the site is an industrial unit occupied by Ontic and to the north, south and west are fields. To the south east is Cleeve Business Park.
The site previously had outline planning permission for the development of a police headquarters but this lapsed in 2010.
An application for police operational accommodation, including a custody centre, was made in 2010 but was withdrawn in the same year.
If the development is allowed, an access road would be built to serve the 11 units and would connect to the existing access road for the business park.
There would be parking spaces for 91 cars.

MR&H speaker series: ER Yatirim's Ferzan Çelikkanat talks Turkey
by David Eisen |
Ferzan Çelikkanat, general manager of Turkey-based hotel developer ER Yatirim, will participate in a panel on investment opportunities in the "troubled" Mediterranean markets of Turkey, North Africa and Egypt at the upcoming Mediterranean Resort & Hotel Real Estate Forum, Nov. 30-Dec. 2, at the Fairmont Rey Juan Carlos, in Barcelona.
Ahead of the conference, Çelikkanat discussed the state of hospitality investment in Turkey, pre- and post-coup attempt and subsequent to the Russian crisis (when Turkey downed a Russian jet), why Turkey remains attractive to investors in spite of the recent turmoil, and where the bulk of investment is coming from.
1. How would you describe the current state of hotel investment and development in Turkey?

Çelikkanat: There are two answers. The first is related to the period before the coup attempt on July 15 and the crisis between Turkey and Russia, and the other answer is related to subsequent events.
Turkey was in a productive period, especially Istanbul, before the Russia crisis and coup attempt. Despite the dangerous developments in the region, especially in Egypt, it has not experienced a contraction in demand. And with the disclosure of the third airport, in Arnavutköy, tourism investment in the region has increased.
Because of the high cost of land and limited land in the coastal area, small- and medium-sized hotels, especially in Anatolian cities, has made big progress. Rather than new builds, investments in the coastal areas have been conversions and renovations. With the competition of brands making investments parallel to tourism investments, new sub-brands were added to the market. When we look at the size and received incentives, we see that the size of investment is concentrated on medium- and small-scale plants.
However, the Russian crises and July 15 coup attempt brought caution to investors. Investments and investors took a wait-and-see approach, in this cautious period that we are in now. This is the reason why the geopolitical improvements in the following two or three quarters will provide more accurate data in order to be able to comment about investments in Turkey.
Ferzan Çelikkanat of ER Yatirim will be part of a MR&H panel discussing troubled Mediterranean markets.
2. Given the recent turmoil that Turkey confronted—the coup d'état that was ultimately quelled—what are the ramifications on future hotel development and investment?
Çelikkanat: Turkey has always been a difficult country because of the challenges posed by geography, but always has known how to overcome these difficulties—and in each period has successfully managed this process. However, we need to make a positive out of these events—higher profit in hazardous areas. Investors who know this don't give up on Turkey because of this reason. Even in the Istanbul Stock Market the profit of this risk, earnings appetite was seen clearly. But this unfortunately describes us as a "risky but profitable" country.
Including foreign investors, nobody can give up on Turkey—and the potential of Turkey. Even the Iranian and Cuban markets are in the "emerging list" with their potential investments. In Turkey, investment doesn't stop and continues to grow.
3. What are the types of hotel projects getting financed and developed? Are they predominantly branded?
Çelikkanat: The improvement in the tourism sector, and the idea that Turkey is a year-round destination, has stirred investment in the urban business hotel segment, even outside cities such as İstanbul, İzmir, Ankara and Antalya. While the local and international hotel chains are increasing their numbers of hotels, on the other hand they have been developing new sub-brands parallel to the customer profile which is constantly changing. Hotel chains have been trying to be in the market not only with high-segment brands but also with three- , four-star and budget brands. We have also been receiving serious partnerships, equity funds and joint-venture offers from big international hotel chains related to hotel projects that we are developing. Brands are eager to enter the market with sub-brands—from Hilton to Marriott, and Sheraton to Accor.
RELATED: MR&H speaker series: London & Regional's Henri Wilmes
I believe that the number of three- and four-star hotels and especially hotel investments in Anatolia will increase with the continuing investments and the new investments that will begin in 2016. Supply and demand in three- and four-star segments has not been satisfied yet.

4. How would you characterize the resort business in Turkey? Are there signs of development in that segment?
Çelikkanat: Actually, everybody started to say that Turkey really needed a serious change in resort hotel management. We have started to diversify the resort concept, mainly with golf, convention and health tourism. With the new incentive regions and laws, investments in resorts will continue.
5. What type of investor is currently investing in Turkey's hospitality industry? Is there a type of investor the country is looking to attract?
Çelikkanat: When we look at the statements of Customs and Trade Ministry, 1,190 foreign capital companies were established in Turkey as of the third quarter. Regarding the capital structure, foreign capital represents more than 322 million Turkish liras. This amount is almost five times the foreign capital amount in the first quarter. The bulk of foreign capital is coming from China. There is also a serious amount of capital inflow from Japan, United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
It is difficult to predict the net amount reflected solely in tourism investments, but we know that tourism investments, hotel acquisitions and share acquisition are among the investment types. There has been serious demand for cash-flowing hotels.
6. How would you place Turkey in the broad context of Mediterranean hotel development?
Çelikkanat: If Turkey can change its marketing strategy toward the qualified and high-income level guest profile and move away from the all-inclusive system, it is a country which can easily be the number-one destination in the Mediterranean. The important point here is how to package the product. Turkey has had difficulty in this regard. For example, if you sell the same for cheaper than Spain, it means that you make a mistake somewhere in the packaging and perception management. If we can handle this PR, our product is strong.
The Mediterranean Resort & Hotel Real Estate Forum will be held at the Fairmont Rey Juan Carlos, in Barcelona, Nov. 30-Dec. 2. For more information, the agenda and speakers, and to register, visit www.mrandh.com.

Marco Rubio Puts Politico On Notice
By Sarah Lee | 6:31 PM on May 25, 2018
Senate Foreign Relations Committee member Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. listens on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, June 28, 2016, as Special Presidential Envoy Brett McGurk, the U.S. representative to the anti-Islamic State coalition, testified before the committee. (AP Photo/Lauren Victoria Burke)
You gotta love Sen. Marco Rubio. The man is brutally honest about what a scourge he believes socialism and communism are, understandable coming from the son of Cuban dissidents. He recently took aim — albeit diplomatically, as is his way — at news media outlet Politico for partnering with a Chinese newsgroup
According to the Washington Post, Politico — which of course covers all things political here in Washington, DC — announced a content-sharing partnership with Hong Kong-based newspaper South China Morning Post (SCMP).
The announcement read in part:
One part of our expanding coverage involves a content partnership we are unveiling today with the South China Morning Post. SCMP, based in Hong Kong, is the oldest newspaper in Asia and is the only independent English-language publication in the region. SCMP has an editorial staff of 300 in Asia, with about 40 reporters stationed in mainland China. Like POLITICO, the publication has global ambitions. Under the partnership, SCMP editors will have access to POLITICO stories to share with their readers, and POLITICO editors can draw on the SCMP stories we believe our readers will find most relevant. Over time, editors in both newsrooms will look for opportunities to combine resources on original stories produced in combination with POLITICO and SCMP journalists.
The Post, however, remembering what it is journalists do (which is a good thing to see from the old girl), calls a halt on the early celebration:
The paper is owned by the Chinese Internet giant the Alibaba Group, which runs the country's most popular e-commerce platform, as well as many other businesses. Alibaba is often compared to Amazon, since the two companies are roughly the same size and operate in some of the same spaces. And Amazon's chief executive, Jeffrey P. Bezos, owns a newspaper as well — The Washington Post.
But there is a major difference between a Chinese company and an American investor owning a newspaper. Despite President Trump's criticisms, Amazon and Bezos are permitted to anger and provoke Trump. Operating with the permission of China's ruling Communist Party, Alibaba does not have that same luxury with Party Secretary Xi Jinping — China's president — and other top Party bosses. Like every major Chinese company, Alibaba must work with the Party to succeed. While speaking English, Alibaba founder Jack Ma sounds like a tech entrepreneur. In his native Chinese, he sometimes sounds like a die-hard Party advocate.
Enter Sen. Rubio, who breaks it down in terms we've all become familiar with lately given all the discussion about Russia and what constitutes behavior of an entity working on behalf of a foreign government:
Maybe this partnership between @politico & Chinese owned newspaper should be required to register as foreign agent. All media in #China operates with the permission of Communist Party. Can this partnership really report without interference from China? https://t.co/R1uTXmPT0j
Time will tell whether they can report on China without interference. We should watch this closely. I hope they can pull it off and be able to report honestly and openly. Had ok article yesterday. We shall see. But if not, they should be registered as foreign agent.
Bravo, Senator, for reminding us all to be watchmen at the gate.

Badminton  – 2- lub 4-osobowa dyscyplina sportowa, konkurencja olimpijska od 1992 roku.

Wstęp

Gra polega na przebijaniu nad siatką lotki za pomocą rakietek; gra rozgrywana jest na punkty na boisku o długości 13,40 m i szerokości 6,10 m w deblu lub 5,18 w singlu; linie wyznaczają pola serwisowe i odbioru (pole odbioru w grze podwójnej jest o 0,76 m krótsze); siatka o szerokości 76 cm zawieszona jest na wysokości 1,55 m przy słupkach i 1,524 m na środku; lotka o masie od 4,74 g do 5,50 g wykonana jest z korka pokrytego warstwą skóry i 16 piórek naturalnych lub z materiałów syntetycznych. Klasyczny mecz składa się z setów rozgrywanych do 21 punktów (wymagana jest przewaga dwóch punktów: jeżeli strony osiągną wynik 29:29, to seta wygrywa strona zdobywająca 30 punktów). Gra kończy się, gdy jeden z zawodników lub jedna z drużyn wygrywa dwa sety.

Historia
Trudno jest jednoznacznie określić genezę badmintona na świecie. W pozostałościach dawnej cywilizacji azteckiej i chińskiej spotyka się rysunki, przedstawiające grę przypominającą badminton, co świadczy o tym, iż w różnej postaci ta forma aktywności fizycznej była znana od wielu tysięcy lat prawie na wszystkich kontynentach.

Nazwa gry pochodzi od nazwy angielskiej posiadłości (Badminton House) VIII księcia Beaufort, leżącej w hrabstwie Gloucestershire niedaleko Bristolu, która nazywała się właśnie Badminton. To tam około roku 1870 odbył się pierwszy pokaz gry opartej na podbijaniu rakietką lotki wykonanej z korka i piór z zastosowaniem reguł zbliżonych do współczesnych. Po kilku latach przyjęto jednolity zbiór przepisów gry, w których do dzisiaj niezmienne pozostały długość i szerokość boiska (w rzeczywistości były to wymiary salonu, w którym odbył się pierwszy pokaz) oraz wysokość siatki. Z biegiem czasu gra stawała się coraz bardziej popularna. Zyskała sympatię nie tylko w gronie amatorów, lecz także i profesjonalistów. Z tego to właśnie powodu powołano Międzynarodową Federację Badmintona (MFB).

Na świecie badminton najbardziej popularny jest w krajach wschodniej Azji (Chiny, Japonia, Korea itd.) oraz w Danii. W Europie, oprócz Danii, jego główne ośrodki znajdują się w Wielkiej Brytanii, Niemczech i Szwecji.

Odbywające się co roku Mistrzostwa świata w badmintonie po raz pierwszy zostały rozegrane w szwedzkim Malmö w 1977 roku. Oprócz indywidualnych mistrzostw świata rozgrywane są również drużynowe mistrzostwa mężczyzn (Thomas Cup) oraz kobiet (Uber Cup).

Badminton na Igrzyskach Olimpijskich

Olimpijska kariera badmintona rozpoczęła się w roku 1988 na Letnich Igrzyskach Olimpijskich w Seulu, gdzie grę potraktowano pokazowo. [por. Badminton na letnich igrzyskach olimpijskich] Badminton bardzo szybko stał się modny i już na Igrzyskach w Barcelonie w 1992 roku włączono go do programu jako dyscyplinę medalową. Do zdobycia były wtedy tylko dwa medale – złoty i srebrny. Możliwość zdobycia brązu pojawiła się dopiero w Atlancie w 1996 roku. W Atenach badminton rozgrywany był w pięciu konkurencjach:

 gra pojedyncza kobiet,
 gra pojedyncza mężczyzn,
 gra podwójna kobiet,
 gra podwójna mężczyzn,
 gra mieszana.

Badminton w Polsce

W Polsce rozwój badmintona przypada na lata 70. XX wieku. Już w pierwszej połowie lat siedemdziesiątych XX wieku była rozgrywana w Akademickim Ośrodku Sportowym przy Politechnice Gdańskiej, przez  studentów uczelni. 7 listopada 1977 r. powstał Polski Związek Badmintona. W Polsce badminton najbardziej popularny jest w Suwałkach, Białymstoku, Głubczycach, Dębnicy i Słupsku.

The Dogon Virtual Archive provides a broad range of information on the West African Dogon people and their settlement area. It encompasses a large amount of primary and secondary data of various types and formats, the initial data set originating from research undertaken at the Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde, Leiden (Netherlands) and from its collections. It is hoped that this open access cultural heritage repository on the Dogon will over time be enriched by more and more institutions and individuals making their collections of Dogon objects and research data/results available via the ECHO platform. The Dogon Virtual Archive could be a resource that is not only of use for the Western researcher and the general public, but also for the Dogon themselves, who have seen their culture exploited and even shaped by Western tourism and research interests. In this sense the Dogon Virtual Archive could one day play an important role not only in the perception and understanding of the Dogon by the Western world, but also in the self-definition of the Dogon people in allowing them (at least virtual) access to their heritage.
NECEP is an ECHO project, and is about the development of the technology for an interactive database on non-european societies.

Q: How to count max value in one month from 2 table I have 2 table on my transaction
Table One
id |    date       |   cust_id               |     driver_number
1     2019-01-02          1                         F 3350 NN
2     2019-04-02          2                         AX 111 Z
3     2019-05-02          3                         S 787  X
4     2019-05-02          4                         T 9090 M
5     2019-06-02          3                         P 8989 L

Table Two
driver_number |    price
F 3350 NN        350000
AX 111 Z         400000
S 787  X         375000
T 9090 M         900000
P 8989 L         500000

How do I count total transaction from two tables above in one month as per requested .
In example, request for total transaction in May so the result is like below
period         |    total
May                1275000

Thank you

A: Using MONTH(T1.date) = 5 and SUM(price) the expected result is achievable
SELECT MONTH(T1.date) AS Period, SUM(price) AS `Total`
FROM TableOne T1
JOIN TableTwo T2 ON T2.driver_number = T1.driver_number
WHERE MONTH(T1.date) = 5
GROUP BY MONTH(T1.date)

Q: Can I replace angular.copy with _lodash and would it be more efficient? I am doing the following:
$scope.grid.backup = angular.copy(result);

Is this something that I could do with _lodash and does anyone have any ideas if the performance would be any different ?
Update:
Hard to imagine what can be unclear about:
Can I replace angular.copy with _lodash and would it be more efficient?
So for those who just don't understand I will add the word "_.clone"

A: You can use _.clone(value, [isDeep=false], [callback], [thisArg])
 $scope.grid.backup = _.clone(result);


Between non-Millionaire and Millionaire investors surveyed by Spectrem Group in April, the non-Millionaires were slightly more likely to say market conditions is the primary factor affecting their current investment plans (31 percent vs. 30 percent). Retirement, too, is another area considered more by non-Millionaires to be a factor most impacting their investment plans today (20 percent vs. 18 percent).
Millionaires, on the other hand, were more likely than non-Millionaires to consider the economic environment when making their investment plans (14 percent vs. 10 percent). Eight percent (vs. 6 percent of non-Millionaires) said that household income is the primary factor most affecting their investment plans.
The political climate and the perception that the White House and Congress cannot or will not work together in fixing the country's economy, is taken into consideration by a slightly higher percentage of Millionaire investors than their non-Millionaire counterparts (6 percent vs. 5 percent.
The market thus far in 2014 has been more volatile, which has kept investors on edge. April has been rough overall. The S&P and Dow are up only slightly for the month, but the NASDAQ suffered a dramatic drop as investors soured on many tech and bio tech stocks.
An increasing percentage of Affluent investors said this month that retirement is the primary factor affecting their investment plans (20 percent vs. 14 percent in January when this question was last asked. Running out of money in retirement is the biggest financial fear among Affluent Americans, according to Spectrem Group research.
Ten percent of Affluent respondents said that the economic environment is most affecting their investment plans, basically unchanged from three months ago.

The Cherry Stone Duo
As students of the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Will Crawford (Guitar) and Emily Hopper (Harp) formed the Cherry Stone Duo in 2017 and have been playing together ever since. They deliver an original and innovative sound aiming to explore the potential these two instruments can create together and to share this rare chamber ensemble with audiences everywhere.
They have spent the last few years building up repertoire for this rare combination of instruments, including original compositions, transcriptions, commissions. They now have a large repertoire consisting of classical, romantic, contemporary and even some jazz and pop arrangements. The Duo regularly perform in masterclasses to visiting professional, in 2018 the Duo had the privilege of performing to Anne Denholm (Hermes Quartet and Former official harpist to HRH The Prince of Wales) who said about the Duo:
"The Cherry Stone Duo are a very promising young duo of two sincere musicians. I greatly enjoyed listening to their music and continue to follow their onwards journey."
The Cherry Stone Duo regularly perform in different venues across Birmingham such as The Museum and Arts Gallery, The ICC and Birmingham Central Synagogue. In Summer 2018 the Duet won the annual Henrietta Renié Harp and Chamber Prize. In 2019 The Cherry Stone Duo released their debut EP "A Dance of Mermaids" which can be found on all major streaming services including iTunes, Spotify and Google Play. The EP consist of an original composition and transcription by guitarist Will Crawford and two pieces written by Eric Marchelie for Harp and Guitar. Most recently the Duo have founded a charitable fundraising programme called Music For the Trees which hosts bi-monthly concerts across Birmingham raising money for reforestation programmes.
Emily Hopper, Harp
Emily took up the harp in 2010 and has progressed through her professional career ever since. She currently studies at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire under Eleanor Turner.
She was principle harp of Kent County Youth Orchestra for five years. She performed the Handel Harp Concerto with the St Edmunds Symphony Orchestra in 2016. Emily won Canterbury Festival Bursary competition in 2015, winning the chance to be an ambassador of the arts for the year. She was chosen to perform and be presented as an inspirational young woman at the Turner Contemporary for International Woman's Day and has also taken part in Kent Cultural Celebrations. Her most recent success is being elected to be part of Town Hall-Symphony Halls first youth panel.
Will Crawford, Guitar
Will has been playing the guitar since the age of seven. He is studying Classical Guitar at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire under Mark Ashford.
He was first guitar of a Gypsy Swing band who performed at events such as the launch of the Jaguar F-Type, supported guitarist John William in concert, and made it to the final of Music for Youth. He was part of a singer songwriter duo for four years – playing various venues, parties and many popular wedding venues, all the while progressing through his solo classical career. He gained his ATCL Diploma in 2017 and in 2018 won the Leicester Classical Guitar competition. Will plays a Stephen Eden Grand Concert Classical Guitar, he is thankful for both Loan Fund for Musical Instruments and Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Trust and Student Awards Committee for awarding him grants towards this guitar. Recently, Will was awarded first place in the annual Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Guitar Competition adjudicated by Vincent Lynsey Clark.

Chinese researchers at Nanjing University have found small segments of rice ribonucleic acid (called microRNA or miRNA for its tiny size) in the blood and organs of people who eat conventional rice. The study does not address how the assimilation of plant RNA into human bodies could affect the debate over the next generation of genetically modified food crops, but the revelation that miRNA can likely survive digestion and take up residence in human cells certainly will provide ammunition for the anti-GMO camp, the most liberal of whom have been calling for toxicological and safety testing of patented plants since the inception of the biotech industry over a decade ago.
In the Chinese study, rice genetic material influenced the uptake of cholesterol from the blood by binding itself to receptor cells in the human liver. If confirmed, this would be the first time scientists have witnessed ingested plant miRNA that actually alters human physiology by regulating cell functions in this way, says AlterNet contributer Ari LeVaux in a recent piece. What's more, it calls into question the doctrine of "substantial equivalence" – a dogma the biotech industry has clung to since 1991.
Under substantial equivalence, companies such as Monsanto Co. have built a body of case law that shields GMOs from the same rigorous safety testing that patented drugs must undergo. The reason: GMOs are assumed to be essentially the same as their whole-food counterparts. This reasoning works well enough where products such as Bt-corn are concerned. This is because GM corn and alfalfa are spliced with specific herbicide resistant genes from bacteria that are themselves assumed to be safe and natural in their isolated form.
"There is no need for, or value in testing the safety of GM foods in humans," declares Monsanto's website. "DNA (and resulting RNA) is present in almost all foods. DNA is non-toxic and the presence of DNA, in and of itself, presents no hazard." Interestingly, this reasoning seems to undermine the legitimacy of plant patenting if nothing "novel" is being created, but that's a whole other can of worms.
However, substantial equivalence might not sit so well with consumers faced with a new generation of GMOs that use miRNA sequences to shut down or turn down a targeted gene in an insect predator. The difference now, and this miRNA study supplies the evidence, is that our genetically-altered food could very well be genetically altering us.
The argument for the safety testing of GMOs can now go something like this: because humans and insects share some very similar proteins that process miRNAs (source), the small RNAs from GMO plants could adversely regulate genes in humans.
Proponents of little to no regulation of biotechnology agree that safety testing would only encumber the shared utopian dream of producing as much food as cheaply as possible for a booming world population. If that's the case, anti-GMOers are going about this "crusade" all wrong. Maybe a more effective tactic would be to scrutinize more closely the real world performance of GM crops.
Monsanto is now the largest seed company in the world. Pointing out that their business model is antithetical to time-tested agricultural practices developed over thousands of years of human history, namely the ability of farmers to save seeds and breed new heirloom varieties to keep genetic diversity at optimal levels, might also bolster the naturalist case. Indeed, there is research to suggest that a path to bounty for the food-insecure populations of the world won't come through new agricultural products or methods, but a revival of pre-industrial farming practices.
That's not to say there isn't a happy medium where scientists can be scientists without having to alienate large groups of agriculturalists and consumers. Critics argue this can't occur until geneticists attach a higher ethical value to the business of natural plant breeding than setting the stage for a fully-patented biosphere.

that tell your audience whats coming up next at your event.
+ Can I choose my announcer?
We trade out announcers every single week, if desired, for variety. Each week you will get a high quality announcer.
Nope! We found that this is why we are the best! Thats right. Rather then a boring green screen studio, we use pent houses to film our videos. We found that industrial buildings or outdoor schenes catch peoples attention more then a plain background. We're all trying to make church more fun right?
Great Question! Submit your Script by Monday 11:59pm and we will get you your video back Thursday afternoon.
+ Can I use people from my church?
Kinda! I can do your announcement video editing if desired. ALSO. If you have an iPhone 6 or newer I will show you how to capture steady footage of real people from your church and I will tie it into the videos to make it feel more at home. But i've honestly found people actually enjoy something outside of the building they're already in.
+ I have a multi campus. Same price?
You bet. If its the same script for every location then nothing changes. If you want each campus to have it tweaked for them, then shoot me a message and we can have a conversation.
Host an extensive hiring process in hopes of finding the right staff members in your local area. Lock into a long-term contract with your new hire. The other option is just to have your current staff just do it. They have an iPhone so what else could they need?

So I just installed IE7 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx), and I must say it's quite nice. I can already say I'm used to it.
Of course, mebbe I'm just behind on the times. I haven't used IE in quite awhile, but from what I 'member, it was quite lacking. I then switched over to FF, which has the incredible tabbed browsing, quick searches, hundreds of plug-ins, with the benefit of better security by obscurity (yes, I know that's now real security, but it still counts for something).
Microsoft might be a big, slow corporation, but at least they try to reel ppl back from the competitors (can you say Zune?). Tabbed browsing and quick searches have made a pretty prominent advance in my mind, and I'm sure that as ppl have more experience with it, the plug-ins that made FF so good will come as well.
Now, seeing as I've just explained why IE7 is just as good as FF, you might wonder why I seem so excited. Well, basically, IE7 is pretty.
Shallow, I know, and I'm sure there are more customizable features on FF to make it look just as good, but this is kind of nice. People have this image for technology and computers of giant, towering behemoth skyscrapers, angular, metallic, and perfectly pragmatic, sacrificing aesthetics for it. Well, my computer definitely needs that last characteristics. If I'm going to stare at it for at least an hour a day, it should look appealing.
So the rounded corners, cleaner text, and general layout are nice. I always worked to shift around favorites and toolbars so that it took up minimal space, being as clean as possible. Well, another little feature is that all those messy menus are gone (File, Edit, Options, etc). Everything pretty much got condensed into a little area in the top right, where, if you need it, you can hopefully find it. Minor, but it looks nice.
Right now, I'm trying to figure out whether I really want to use it now, though. It's very slick, and I'd like the hands-on with it, but Microsoft does have a little history with newly released software. I'll mull this one over.

How much does it cost to move a three-bedroom home?
It's Flashback Friday! Today we'll spend some time looking back at posts that customers found helpful in the past. Since moving costs are top-of-mind for a lot of people right now, this post about the cost to move a three-bedroom home is a great one to check out. Happy Friday everyone!
The cost to move your three bedroom home is unique, depending on different moving factors like how much you're moving, when you're moving, and where you're moving from and to. The first step in determining your specific move cost is to get moving quotes. Once you compare moving quotes, you'll know what fits into your moving budget and what doesn't. Start out by getting a free moving quote from U-Pack, the "you pack, they drive" moving service that offers rates comparable to truck rental.
Below you'll find info about how U-Pack keeps your three-bedroom home moving costs low.
U-Pack's moving trailer is 28 ft. long (longer than any rental truck out there), so it has plenty of room for moving your three-bedroom home. The best part of the moving trailer is that U-Pack gives you the option of only paying for the space you use (5 ft. minimum). 17-21 ft. of trailer space is typical for a three-bedroom home. If you end up using more or less space based on how you pack the trailer, just add or subtract the per-foot adjustment rate included in your quote!
You could also move your three-bedroom home in a ReloCube®, U-Pack's 6' x 7' x 8' moving container. Similar to the moving trailer, U-Pack gives you the option to only pay for the number of Cubes you actually use. When moving a three-bedroom home, you may want to reserve 4 or 5 Cubes depending on how much more you're moving in addition to the three bedrooms (like, garage and storage shed, etc.). Remember, you can reserve as many as you need, but only pay for the ones you use. Plus, there's no additional fee to return the unused Cubes.
Call 800-413-4799 or click to get a free moving quote now.
You can get there on your own time because U-Pack does the driving.
U-Pack rates are comparable to truck rental, but you don't have to drive.
Your moving quote includes the driver, fuel, sales tax, liability coverage, and road tolls all in one low price.
U-Pack averages cross-country transit times of 2 to 5 business days. Full-service can take 4-10 week.!
If you need storage, you can store your belongings in the trailer or Cube at an ABF Service Center.
There are plenty of ways to save even more money on your move with U-Pack, such as terminal-to-terminal moves, moving on an off-peak moving day, or using the $25 coupon below!
It's the ideal solution for moving your three-bedroom home. Get a free moving quote or call 800-413-4799 to talk to a U-Pack moving specialist. Let me know how I can help you learn more about moving your home by commenting below.

El soporte vital avanzado (SVA) es la atención médica proporcionada por profesionales de la salud generalmente dentro de una unidad de cuidados intensivos. Los médicos o técnicos son previamente capacitados para evaluar la situación del paciente, administrar la medicación necesaria en cada caso y proporcionar desfibrilación, brindando además un manejo avanzado de la vía aérea, tratando de garantizar estabilidad hemodinámica antes y durante el transporte al hospital o igualmente dentro de un centro hospitalario. Con este tipo de asistencia se logra sostener o prolongar la vida del paciente, y en caso de muerte cerebral, las funciones básicas para fines de donación de órganos, hasta la decisión de los familiares o de una corte.

Especificación
La reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) dentro de la medicina es un área que está necesitada de recomendaciones sustentadas por evidencias. A partir del año 2000, la Agrupación Internacional de Consejos de Resucitación (ILCOR), lleva a cabo  procesos sistemáticos de evaluación de la ciencia cada 5 años. El resultado son las recomendaciones internacionales de consenso en la ciencia y de recomendaciones de tratamiento (CoSTR). El ILCOR ha establecido seis grupos de trabajo, dos de los cuales (neonatal y pediátrico) se centran en el paciente pediátrico. Cada grupo de trabajo ha realizado los siguientes pasos: a) identificar los temas en los que era más necesario buscar pruebas, b) seleccionar e invitar a expertos internacionales a revisar las evidencias, c) realizar el proceso de evaluación, d) debatir los hallazgos, e) presentar los resultados en conferencias de consenso, f) proponer un texto consensuado para el documento CoSTR y g) aprobar dicho texto.  Del mismo modo lo hace el equipo de trabajo de adultos.

Los resultados mejoran significativamente cuando la reanimación cardiopulmonar básica (RCPB) se inicia precozmente (primeros 4 minutos posterior a la parada) por las personas que presencian el episodio y la Reanimación cardiopulmonar avanzada (RCPA) antes de 8 minutos posterior a la parada cardíaca.

RCP en Pediatría
La RCPA es el conjunto de maniobras y técnicas dirigidas a proporcionar el tratamiento definitivo de la PCR, optimizando la sustitución de las funciones respiratoria y circulatoria. Esto incluye: el manejo de la vía aérea, la ventilación con oxígeno, la consecución de un acceso vascular, la administración de fármacos, el diagnóstico y tratamiento de las arritmias y, por último, la estabilización, el transporte y la recuperación de las lesiones secundarias a la hipoxia/isquemia.

British Airways has announced a new route from London City to Rome, starting from 11th November.
Flights operate from Monday to Friday, departing London City at 10.50 (arriving 14.20) and returning from Rome at 15.05 (arriving 18.35). There is also a Sunday service which operates later in the day.
A fifth daily weekday flight to Zurich will be added from the same day. Four new Embraer 190 aircraft will be delivered to London City soon which will allow a new burst of route expansion. Further route announcements are on the way.
As a new route, London City to Rome is wide open for Avios availability. Oddly there is NOT the 'guaranteed' four Euro Traveller and two Club Europe seats showing – all I see is two Euro Traveller seats per flight and zero in Business, irrespective of how far in advance I try to book.
Before you book Club Europe, assuming you can find any availability, remember that British Airways does not have a lounge at London City and seating is 2×2 throughout the plane. The only extra benefit of note is the (far better than Heathrow) catering. That said, London City flights still offer free drinks and snacks in Economy too!
PS. Remember that London City DOES have a lounge you can pay to use – in the Private Jet Centre next door. Here are our reviews of the London City First Class Lounge (which includes private security clearance and being driven to your plane – as long as it isn't a BA plane) and our review of the London City Business Class Lounge.
Hilton offering a McLaren track day for points!
If you are keen on fast cars, Hilton Honors and McLaren have got together to organise an exceptional track day.
Get ready for the ultimate McLaren Track Day experience at Dunsfold Circuit! You and your guest will have the opportunity to drive both a McLaren 570S and 720S alongside professionally qualified driving coaches. Your day will finish with a 'hot lap' where the driving coach will take to the wheel and show you how to maximise the cars performance around the track. Dunsfold Aerodome is a circuit designed to give a mixture of low and high-speed corners as well as a series of straights that will allow you to enjoy the McLaren road cars. This is also the "test track" of the BBC show Top Gear.
If you know anything about performance cars you'll know what an opportunity this is. If you don't, it's not for you anyway!
At 275,000 Hilton Honors points, it isn't cheap but it would be a great day out. There are three packages available at the time of writing. You can redeem here.
The spacious guestrooms boast stylish, understated carpets and wallpaper in a neutral beige and taupe palette, contrasted by dark wood furniture detailing and a flash of colour from the hand blown glass turquoise lamps.
"When designing an interior we integrate vernacular of the architecture and local surroundings," explained Alan McVitty, Director of M Studio London. All flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, certain guestrooms also boast scenic views over West India Quay whilst the Curve Suites showcase incredible sights across Canary Wharf's skyline.
Guestrooms have been decked out with luxurious flat screen TVs and plush mattresses, whilst suites come equipped with Nespresso coffee machines. Up-to-the-minute technology including high-speed Wi-Fi and 8 USB ports can be found in each room, ensuring ease for business travel.
Even if you are not a business traveller, it is worth keeping an eye on this hotel as a good value tourist spot for a weekend break. It is just a couple of minutes walk from the Jubilee Line, dropping you in the West End very quickly, and the Docklands Light Railway literally runs past your window.
As a redemption, it is now 35,000 points per night – a good deal, given the full refurbishment, compared to 50-60,000 points per night for the equivalent West End hotels.
The Marriott West India Quay website is here if you want to find out more.
NatWest Black drops Priority Pass for DragonPass - but is it worth £28 per month?
OT – Weird goings on with my SPG card. My balance for transactions over the last month appears to have been adjusted for the change to Marriot points – I.e 3 for every £1 I spend. On £700 spend I've had 2,100 points. However, I've just hit the sign on bonus this month and had 11,000 points credited (10k + 1k referral). So my 'starwood' balance to be transferred, according to Amex is just over 13k. Shouldn't this now be 33k points, or have they just devalued the sign-on bonus by a factor of three for me, as I was stuck in the middle during the changeover?! My current balance is a messy mix of old points and new ones.
This website badly needs some sort of forum now. Came to the comments to see if there was much discussion about the McLaren offer, and nothing but 10 different OTs with people asking different questions.
A small, simple forum would resolve this, and the comments can return to being comments.
Are you volunteering to moderate it?!
In general random stuff tends to go under a 'Bits' article. The other daily articles tend to have more structured comments.
