I've seen it rumored that there are lots of people who essentially have immunity from the outset, as implied by one of the studies in your link. While that doesn't change anything about current outbreaks, it could be great news for the chances of a 2nd outbreak in any hard hit area.
I see it as a study with real promise. Not sure what @Doug B or @Terminalxylem or others think?

getting public service calls and texts in Austin now about the rapid spread of coronavirus. that's new.
Illustrating how little we know about this virus longterm, is a study from Belgium.
https://www.brusselstimes.com/all-news/belgium-all-news/health/119517/only-5-5-of-belgians-have-coronavirus-antibodies-study-shows/
The numbers of people with antibodies in their studies are dropping.
One possibility here is that some people come in contact with the virus, gain some antibodies (we would think of them as asymptomatic at this point), but then a few months later the antibodies are gone.
Therefore in that scenario it's possible that they would not have immunity.
An NYT podcast I was listening to about two weeks ago was talking about how we really don't know if this immunity is going to happen, and we don't know for how long it will happen.

Funny you should ask. I was earlier reading a Guardian piece about how it's been difficult for epidemiologists to account for certain areas NOT getting hit hard, or certain areas having unusually low numbers of deaths even when they have plenty of cases.
One working theory -- probably still kind of fluffy and fringe but worth study IMHO -- is that past exposure to other coronaviruses (or even other types of viruses altogether) can give partial immunity to COVID-19 (spoilered for length but not all that long, worth the read):
In the Observer last weekend, neuroscientist and Covid-19 modeller Karl Friston of University College London suggested – on the basis of his comparison of German and British data – that the relatively low fatality rates recorded in Germany were due to unknown protective factors at play. "This is like dark matter in the universe: we can't see it, but we know it must be there to account for what we can see," he said.
While this is a novel view – most experts praise Germany's lockdown and systematic testing regime – others are working hard to identify factors which are modulating the spread of Covid-19 and in doing so could explain other puzzles – such as why Japan seems to have avoided a lethal first wave despite its relatively old population and lacklustre public health response, or why Denmark, Austria and the Czech Republic have reported no surge in cases despite their early easing of lockdown measures. That could shape how governments manage the risks of a second wave.
One thing seems clear: there are many reasons why one population is more protected than another. Theoretical epidemiologist Sunetra Gupta of the University of Oxford thinks that a key one is immunity that was built up prior to this pandemic. "It's been my hunch for a very long time that there is a lot of cross-protection from severe disease and death conferred by other circulating, related bugs," she says. Though that cross-protection may not protect a person from infection in the first place, it could ensure they only experience relatively mild symptoms.
Gupta's hunch has remained just that, because of the lack of data on immunity to Covid-19. Antibody testing, as we know, was slow to get going and unreliable to begin with, and the results to date suggest that the percentages of populations carrying antibodies to the Covid-19 virus are often in single or low-double digits. New, more sensitive antibody tests that have become available in recent weeks could soon provide a much more accurate picture if deployed widely enough, but there are already hints that the results to date may be underestimates.
First there was evidence based on diagnostic testing of postmortem samples from patients who died in December that the virus was circulating in western countries – notably France and the US – about a month earlier than was initially thought. New research shows that another component of the human immune response – T cells, which help orchestrate the antibody response – show memory for coronavirus infection when exposed to Sars-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19.
In a paper published in Cell on 14 May, researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology in California reported that T cells in blood drawn from people between 2015 and 2018 recognised and reacted to fragments of the Sars-CoV-2 virus. "These people could not have possibly seen Sars-CoV-2," says one of the paper's senior authors, Alessandro Sette. "The most reasonable hypothesis is that this reactivity is really cross-reactivity with the cousins of Sars-CoV-2 – the common cold coronaviruses which circulate very broadly and generally give rather mild disease."
The finding supported an earlier one from a group at the Charité hospital in Berlin, detecting T cell reactivity to proteins in the Sars-CoV-2 virus in 83% of Covid-19 patients but also in 34% of healthy volunteers who had tested negative for the virus itself.
David Heymann, an epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine who advises the World Health Organization on Covid-19, says these results are important, but cautions that cross-reactivity doesn't necessarily translate into immunity. To determine whether it does would involve following a large number of people who show such cross-reactivity to see if they are protected, if not from infection with Covid-19, then at least from severe forms of the disease.
It is, however, a reasonable hypothesis that exposure to other coronaviruses could confer protection, Sette says. "We've seen it before, for example with the 2009 H1N1 flu." Older people fared well compared to other age groups in that pandemic, he says, probably because their immune systems had been primed by exposure to similar flu strains from decades before. That could be the reason the 2009 pandemic was less lethal than other flu pandemics in history, killing an estimated 200,000 people globally.
If exposure to other coronaviruses does protect against Covid-19, Gupta says, then variability in that exposure could explain much of the difference in fatality rates between countries or regions. Exposure to the related virus that caused the epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) in 2002-4 might have afforded some protection to east Asians against Covid-19, for example.

My brother (late 40s) just tested positive on Monday (2 days ago).
Woke up on Monday achy, mild fever, mild headache. He's a doc, so he got tested that morning and got the results that afternoon. Went home, began quarantine in the basement. Yesterday he had the dry cough but the other symptoms had abated. Today he reports himself basically 90% of the way back to normal.
So it looks like for him it will be a non-event, other than a couple of weeks of no work and minimal family. Awesome. We have friends who have been hit much harder.

Dr. Charles Lockwood, USF: Despite a seven-fold increase in daily cases of COVID-19, Florida is down to about 32 deaths per day. The case fatality rate for the state has dropped from about 5.5% of cases resulting in death to 2.3%, one of the lowest of any state.
Further evidence we're not dealing with the same situation as March/April. I'm sure shader's death predictions will come true any day now though.
One more thing....
TWO WEEKS!!!!
One question I have about antibodies is: Does the body need to have antibodies in the blood at all times ready to go against a given pathogen? For example, do I still have active chicken pox antibodies in my blood right now, over 40 years after my childhood infection?
Or is it instead that I may no longer have chicken pox antibodies in my blood, but my immune system can now recognize the chicken pox virus and quickly "manufacture" chicken pox antibodies as needed upon exposure?
And could it be that way for COVID-19? The antibodies go away, but the immune system can recognize the virus and then produce more antibodies in the event of a second exposure?

Where's the joke, those are facts. The joke rests in how we still are making poor decisions based on the distribution of only half the available set of facts.
This isn't even complicated. These same number of people were walking around with this in March and April, they just weren't being tested. And we had governors sending Covid patients to nursing homes. The inevitability that we will have worse suffering to come, is rooted in misinformation and the idea that we would repeat the same stupid mistakes. It also relies on younger people suddenly dying from the same virus most didn't even know they had in the Spring. Note: these same age groups are still walking into clinics symptom-free testing positive and then returning to full health 2-3 days later. Sheer volume of positives DOES NOT equal uncontrollable hospitalizations or a surge in deaths. Hospitals are built to run on 85-90% ICU occupancy and honest administrators are admitting that their biggest issue in their ICUs are all the non-Covid patients who put off serious issues too long because they were afraid to come in.

The part in red ... over what time frame?
Over the past two weeks (6/18 - 7/1), it's been 38 per day. When you take out weekend-lag days (Sundays & Mondays) from that same time period, it's 45 per day:
Date     Cases   Deaths  Deaths on day

Not an immense difference, but if Dr. Lockwood is going to speak authoritatively, we need to know something about his underlying data. For instance: "32 deaths per day" over what time period?

20 minutes ago, DallasDMac said:
As JaxBill posted earlier, the average age of infection in Florida a few months ago was over 50. Since age is the single biggest factor in death rate that's out there, a much lower median age (right now it's around 40) will lead to a lower death rate.
But on the flipside, the number of people in Florida with covid is going to be much higher than it was previously. With a governor that refuses to lock down, it's difficult to see a scenario where Florida isn't losing a lot of people within 2-4 weeks. It's a sad thing, but worse damage can be stopped with quick intervention.
If you're in the South, wear masks when you're out, and stay home as much as possible.

It's gotten to the point where I wish people would just friggin' wear a mask not just because it's that simple to control this virus, but it would also bring the numbers down low enough that they can no longer be manipulated to serve agendas for either side. If someone gives the complete picture, it just might be the first time.

I don't understand. looking at the data, the current spike in positive cases started Jun 19th. That will be two weeks on Friday. Yet, deaths continue on the same general downwards trend since early May.
Shouldn't the deaths start to peak along with the higher cases? What's going on?

So like 3% of 1%?
Yes. Like 3 percent of one percent of the population is already dead so far this year, and tomorrow is thr exact midpoint of the year.
And those numbers are under reported. The total number of deaths in the US is up by more than the 130,000 reported deaths so far, compared year over year with 2016-2019. Florida in particular has been reporting a huge spike in deaths from pneumonia, compared with the last 5 years.
And unless there is a miracle curw, the second half of the year will likely have many more deaths than the first half. We are already seeing hospital overrun and unavailability of ventilators on july 1st. We were nowhere near this point on January first. The vast majority of those deaths have been in the last three months, and the new cases are increasing, not decreasing.
By the end of the year, it may be close to .1 percent of the population dead from this virus. And that's just the deaths. Many more will have permanent effects, while others will only cough up blood for a few weeks, be unable to work, lose their healthcare coverage and put anyone who visits them or lives with them in danger.
But let's forget all that. What's a couple hundred thousand deaths compared to, say, heart disease, which kills a little over 600,000 Americans a year?
Have you personally made any lifestyle changes to avoid the fraction of a percent chance that you will die of heart disease this year? Do you get your blood pressure and cholesterol checked? Take any medication? Did you lose weight or do cardio for something that only kills a couple percent of a percent of the population each year?
Cancer kills around 600,000 people a year, but that's all forms of cancer.
Skin cancer, colorectal cancer and prostate cancer kill about 120,000 people combined each year in the US. Do you wear sunblock? Have you let your doctor give you the wiggly finger?
Back in 1982, there were about 27,000 drunk driving deaths in the U.S. That number is down by about two thirds. Do you drink and drive? Would you let your friends drink and drive? It doesnt kill nearly as many people as Covid.
We routinely change our behavior for things that are far less dangerous than Covid, and in ways that are far more invasive. There's an ongoing debate in the medical community whether digital rectal exams are even effective, and since they are often followed by a colonoscopy it may make more sense to just have more colonoscopies and not have anyone put fingers up butts. Doctors and patients alike should be thrilled to think that might not be necessary anymore - yet people who routinely submit to a finger in their butt will complain about wearing masks.
Wear your friggin mask.

Where is there a shortage of ventilators? I thought we currently have a huge excess of ventilators.
Bottom line, we will be able to handle this much better this time around. Deaths are still flat or declining while cases have been increasing for 2 weeks. There is no way in hell there are more deaths in the 2nd half of the year. Impossible. But keep with the we are all gonna die ramblings.

I asked the Orlando doc I mentioned earlier for some clarification. He said they are preparing like there will be a surge, but they only have 7 ICU patients for Covid at the moment. He thinks 50 overall patients who are Covid positive in their system. I asked because he mentioned 50 patients in his worried post, and I remembered their expanded capacity was in the 60's (28 ICU beds normally).
Saw another post from a guy in Miami who is pretty connected. His admin friend from a local hospital group says they're fine, but in the same post he pointed out there was an official release from another hospital group who was considering postponing electives.

I'll repeat that some hospitals in Palm Beach have filled their CV-19 units or sections of the hospital to keep others from contracting the virus. Even if you want to quarantine those folks who are sick there simply isn't room and eventually someone is going to get really sick and die that didn't need to. Do you not agree with this?

This just in... Connecticut still fighting strong against COVID.
Deaths - 2 dead for the 2nd day in a row, and single digits for 6 straight. The last time we could say that, we had only 19 deaths.
Positivity - One half of 1 percent today - the lowest we've ever had.
Bars never opened here, and that is playing in a large role. Masks are everywhere, and people are still "excellent to each other", which is all Bill & Ted really want. I will try to speak for the bulk of the CT citizens when I say Gov Lamont is doing a great job. He doesn't candy coat the bad stuff, and he's not all "Mission Accomplished" about the good stuff.

"The numbers keep going up and up and up and we don't know how high those numbers are going to go," Bime said.
He said the ICU at Banner Health is approaching an 80 percent capacity with the vast majority being COVID-19 patients. Nearly all COVID-19 patients in the ICU are on ventilators. The Arizona Department of Health Services shows 88 percent of ICU beds are in use and 46 percent of ventilators are in use which are the highest percentages for both ICU beds and ventilators on the data dashboard.
"This is the worst it has been," Bime said. "We went through the first wave and it was challenging but we did our very best."
That was a week ago.
Arizona just reported a record number of new cases today.
So did the United States, with our first day over 50,000 cases nationally.
Newly reported cases are typically a leading indicator of deaths, not the other way around.

A link would really be helpful in supporting this statement. At least locally, our ICUs aren't filled with non-COVID patients who deferred care. And hospital admin might paint a different picture, but ICUs don't run especially well at 90% capacity, regardless of the diagnosis. But demands on the system vary tremendously depending on individual patient needs, and COVID patients are more time and labor intensive than average.

The ravine itself, which is now overgrown by trees and bushes just as it was in previous times, was not examined by walking, but it was examined from highest points in the surroundings, from which the Baišleja Ravine can be well observed.

What's Covered in a Water Damage Insurance Claim? - Rain Control of Central Florida, Inc.
Water damage is brutal. It can ruin both your home and your belongings. It can leave behind mold, an even more destructive force.
And if you're not mitigating your water damage risk because you think insurance will cover everything, you may be in for a rude awakening.
Homeowner's insurance typically covers things like tree limbs falling and tearing a hole in your roof, or tornadoes ripping the shingles away. It doesn't cover basic maintenance failures, or even, always, the results of those maintenance failures.
Clogged, leaky, or broken gutters would definitely count as a long-standing problem. And if you get a roof leak because of this problem homeowner's insurance isn't going to cover that.
Standing water and mold aren't covered without separate policies.
Any standing water would fall under your flood policy. And on most policies you need a separate rider for mold damage and remediation.
If this is a concern, it's a good idea to contact your insurance agent about it now, before there's any problem in the home. That way you can add these coverages to your account and have the peace of mind that comes with doing so.
Keeping your gutters clear is its own form of insurance.
Think about this: whenever you file a claim, your insurance bill goes up.
Meanwhile, if you improve your gutters, add Flo-Free leaf guards to keep them clean, and make them seamless to avoid leaks, you're stopping exactly the kinds of damages insurance won't handle.
This means your rates stay stable, which means your gutters pay for themselves. And if you do get storm damage, a burst pipe, or any other type of damage which you might need insurance for you can prove you did what you needed to do to maintain the home.
It will also cost significantly less than you probably think it's going to cost. That's a theme that comes up in our reviews time and time again.
Gutters and insurance aren't the most glamorous topics in the world.
But they're both absolutely necessary if you want to have a glamorous home, one that stays in good repair and is as covered against disaster as it is possible to get.

Just shy of a year ago, I announced the publication of my first novel Island of Lost Forevers. Real life has presented some real challenges since then (such as moving across an ocean and a continent), but I'm finally ready to share my novel's sequel with you. In fact, the book's release will coincide with my original cover reveal; how's that for synergy?
It's been eight years since Damian struck Sentomoru dead. The island flourishes under Catilen's rule, but Damian can't escape the former lord's shadow. It taints the rivers, trees and flowers. It haunts him keenest in the form of Catilen's seven-year-old daughter, Morulin. Damian wants desperately to be a part of her life, but fears rejection when she learns the truth about her father's death.
Catilen dismisses Damian's anxieties, claiming the dead can cause no harm. But when both she and her daughter admit to dreaming of Sentomoru's presence, Damian's fears resurge. Neither he, nor his wife, can claim complete knowledge of the complex magic governing their island home. However irrational, he can't shake the fear his struggle against Kenjiro Sentomoru is far from over.
Once again it was co-written by James Abendroth of Blackguard Press, and receives its fabulous cover from the lovely Beth Alvarez! Crossroads of Frozen Eternity will be available on as many e-book platforms as possible on Tuesday April 21st!

In a Nov. 17 letter to City Manager Fabiola Huerta, Williams said it's time to resign after serving since she was appointed in 2012.
"At this point in my life I would like to spend more time visiting my grandchildren, conversing with my husband Steve and enjoying our beautiful scenic views," she wrote. "It is time to pass the torch of City Council meetings and the pressing issues of the day to others.
Williams has owned and edited the La Habra Journal, a bi-monthly print newspaper that covers La Habra and La Habra Heights, for all but three five since 1995.

Post-1960s America has been a period of continuous social upheaval: shifting attitudes toward gender and race, divisive "culture wars," tension between national and global identity, and widespread technological disorientation. These challenges have left their mark on literature. The traditional distinction between fiction and nonfiction has been all but obliterated, as have the borders between literature and other arts. We now find novels in the form of comic books, poems as installations, books as statues, dramas as social action, and classic texts as video games. Through works by Michael Cunningham, Don DeLillo, Eve Ensler, Edward Gorey, Jenny Holzer, Maxine Hong Kingston, Barbara Kruger, Toni Morrison, Thomas Pynchon, Marjane Satrapi, and others, this course surveys the response of contemporary writing to these turbulent times.


Asics Gel Fortitude 7 Review - Buy or Not in Apr 2019?
Designed by Asics to be one of their most cushioned running shoes, the Asics Gel Fortitude 7 gets the job done very well. For runners who like a lot of cushion in their step, this may be a shoe you want to look at. Featuring SpEVA foam midsole and forefoot and rearfoot Gel Cushioning Systems, Asics has added in their top-notch cushioning into this shoe. Many runners also enjoy the extremely breathable, mesh upper. This motion control shoe is meant more for runners who are heavy overpronators, though this comes with one downfall – the weight. But for those runners looking for a high-quality motion control shoe, the weight may be a trait that can be overlooked. If you find yourself to be an overpronator who is looking for a highly cushioned shoe for a good price, you might want to try out this shoe.
The Asics Gel Fortitude 7 features an extremely durable, AHAR DuraSponge outsole. The outsole provides comfort and cushioning and is long lasting. In addition to the DuraSponge rubber, Asics features their Trusstic Guidance Line System in the Gel Fortitude 7. This Trusstic System helps reduce the overall weight of the sole unit while keeping the foot in place during each step. By helping keep the foot in place during each step, it helps keep the runner's foot stable and enhances gait efficiency. These features of the outsole make for a great foundation.
The Gel Fortitude 7 features both a SpEVA foam midsole as well as strategically placed a forefoot and rearfoot Gel Cushioning System. The SpEVA is a newer, lightweight foam midsole compared to the original EVA midsole. SpEVA helps bounce-back and shock, along with aiding in the durability of the midsole. The forefoot and rearfoot Gel Cushioning System is gel cushioning placed strategically in the front and back of the shoe to help the runner's feet stay cushioned in the most important spots. These two cushioning features together make for an extremely comfortable and well-cushioned midsole.
According to many reviewers, the upper of the shoe is stellar. While it doesn't feature a ton of different technologies, the ones that it does feature help to make it a great performing upper. The first feature we see in the upper is the ComforDry Sockliner. This feature might be one of the most important in the upper since it helps with not only rebound properties according to Asics but also amazing moisture management and high-quality breathability.
Many runners found that the high-quality and breathable mesh helps keep moisture from building up in the shoe. Some runners thought the breathability was very good, but wouldn't recommend running in cold weather. In addition to the ComforDry Sockliner, the upper also features a strong toe bumper.
Possibly one of the only downfalls of the shoe is the weight. Weighing in at 12.2 ounces, the shoe is very heavy for a running shoe. That being said though, the weight isn't overboard for a shoe designed to be used for overpronating runners. Typically, shoes designed for overpronators are going to be a bit heavier, so if you are looking in that shoe market anyways, then this shoe's weight actually isn't going to be that high. If you are just looking at this compared to any other running shoe with a lot of cushioning, however, you are likely going to be able to find lighter running shoes to fit your needs. Despite the high weight though, many runners say this is one of the most comfortable running shoes they've ever run in.
Another place the Asics Gel Fortitude 7 really shines is breathability. As mentioned earlier, the Gel Fortitude 7 is made with a high-quality, extremely breathable mesh upper. The ComforDry Sockliner does a great job at moisture management, and helps the runner's foot to stay completely dry during their run.
Because of the high amounts of cushioning seen in the Asics Gel Fortitude 7, the shoe is extremely comfortable. Many runners who have used this shoe claim this is one of the most comfortable shoes they've ever run in. While the shoe is designed for overpronators, the shoe can be used by anyone looking for a highly cushioned, comfortable run.
There's nothing too special about the style of the shoe. It doesn't look blatantly appealing by any means, but it isn't an ugly shoe. It looks a little clunky in some regards, but that's because of all the cushioning seen in the midsole. There are only a few color options to choose from though, which is a bit of a disappointment to some runners looking into the shoe. Style-wise though, the shoe is very basic.
The durability of all parts of the shoe has proven to be exceptional. Starting with the outsole of the shoe, the AHAR rubber is made to last a long time. Both the SpEVA foam midsole and upper are also made to last a long time and won't deteriorate quickly. Many claim that despite the long distances they run, the upper of the shoe seems to stay perfectly intact.
The main form of protection in the Asics Gel Fortitude 7 is the cushioning in the midsole. The SpEVA foam midsole offers shock protection, so when the runner's foot hits the ground, the foot will experience dramatically less shock than they would without the SpEVA. The cushioning in the shoe protects the foot from injury over time due to the hard ground surface the runner will be running on.
For such a highly-cushioned shoe, the Gel Fortitude 7 is still responsive. The AHAR rubber and the SpEVA foam midsole were designed to help with bounce-back time. Compared to other, more minimalistic running shoes, the Gel Fortitude 7 is not a very responsive shoe; however, the responsiveness is still very good for a shoe in its category.
The Gel Fortitude 7 finds its support in the midsole and the upper of the shoe. Starting with the SpEVA foam midsole with the added forefoot and rearfoot Gel Cushioning System, the high levels of cushioning support the runner's foot very well. The runner will find more support in the midsole's Gel Cushioning Systems, since they are strategically placed to help support the foot. As far as the upper goes, the ComforDry Sockliner plays a small role in helping support the foot. In general, the upper does provide a secure fit.
The Asics Gel Fortitude 7 is meant for road and asphalt. If running on different terrains, such as trail, the shoe will deteriorate quicker.
The price of these shoes is a steal for runners looking for a highly cushioned shoe. Coming in at just under $90, the features you get with this shoe, along with the overall quality of the shoe is amazing. If you are a runner looking for a shoe with high levels of cushioning for a price that won't break the bank, this is a shoe you should consider.
The traction is just okay. The AHAR rubber is what provides the most traction and is made to last a long time. However, the average traction should deter you from considering this shoe.
Despite the high amount of cushioning seen throughout the shoe and how clunky it may look, the Asics Gel Fortitude 7 is a flexible shoe. Many runners were shocked at how flexible the shoe was. The flexibility of the shoe provides another level of comfort and makes it a top contender amongst other highly-cushioned shoes.
The stability of the Gel Fortitude 7 is another place where the shoe scores highly. The Guidance Line technology in the outsole of the shoe helps to keep the runner's foot very stable. Also, the upper of the shoe helps to lock the foot in place, so the foot won't slip out. For runners looking for a stable shoe, this one fits the bill.
The drop of the Asics Gel Fortitude 7 is standard – 10mm. The heel height of the shoe is 22mm and the forefoot height is 12mm. This drop is very common in well-cushioned running shoes.
The Asics Gel Fortitude 7 really is a great option for any runner, even though the shoe is designed for overpronators. The shoe does run a little bit heavy, but the high quality features including the cushioning justify its high weight. Runners who are going to get the most out of this shoe are obviously those who are overpronators, as this is what the shoe was designed to do. However, many runners have found happiness with the shoe solely because of how comfortable the shoe is. If you're in the market for a highly-cushioned shoe that doesn't cost a ton of money, this very well may be the shoe for you.

Q: Not able to set row number by ordered by datetime I currently try to give my rows in the following table an index
    ticket_id(bigint)       val(nvarchar(4000))
    99856                   15.01.2019 16:58
    99856                   15.01.2019 17:20
    99921                   15.01.2019 17:31
    100197                  16.01.2019 09:55

The index should've been generated by the following logic
    row_number() over (Partition by ticket_id Order by convert(datetime,val,104) asc) as nr

However, this query returns

The conversion of a nvarchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.

It works when I use the following query
    row_number() over (Partition by cast(ticket_id as int) Order by convert(datetime,val,104) asc) as nr

Can someone explain why?

A: Not correct conversion, try find bad values
SELECT * FROM [youTable] WHERE TRY_CONVERT(datetime,val,104) IS NULL

upd

when I apply "Try_convert", I do not get any Error

TRY_CONVERT
Return Types
Returns a value cast to the specified data type if the cast succeeds; otherwise, returns null.

for example
SELECT TRY_CONVERT(datetime,'99.99.9999',104)

A: I hope your date format is dd.mm.yyyy . so you can below query may help you
select convert (datetime ,'15.01.2019 16:58 ',103)

In your case
row_number() over (Partition by ticket_id Order by convert(datetime,val,103) asc) as nr

Dear Owners of Fabric House. It's not a loading zone….
Note to self remind me to tell all my friends to race and buy fabric from you – NOT! The sad thing is you have wonderful staff who on the whole have been pleasant and understanding since you moved in.
Shame you decided I was in the wrong yesterday for parking in a park clearly marked as one for those with a mobility pass.
So the story goes… A staff member from Fabric House, came into my work at 8am. Because I was working she decided it was appropriate to leave a message with my next client – "could you get her to move her car as we have a delivery this morning". I checked the car park, my pass was visible and I was in a park marked for disability so I ignored the request and kept working. After my morning set I headed to my car, in the shop were three ladies and a young man. There was fabric everywhere and an English lady (I think she was by her accent) gave me one of those judging looks, and spoke to her staff. I thought I heard her say "she's not in a wheelchair".
So I went in, blood boiling and asked of she would like my disability too and that not all pass holders need wheelchairs.
She immediately went on the defense and her and the staff who asked me to move my car did too.
Of course I bit back.
Because it's a park for people with mobility passes.
I asked if they were ok for me to move my car and their delivery truck was parked there if it's ok for the next person with a mobility pass to have to miss out.
She waved her scissors at me and told me to get out of her store. Get out! get out! Waving her black scizzors at me her right hand she ushered me towards the door.
How embarrassing for her – and all this in front of three other staff.
Dear owner of Fabric House – It's no a loading zone!
I got in the car and cried. They were so overwhelmingly mean and unreasonable and made me feel I had to defend my disease and disability. Shame on you Fabric House, when it's a good day and I am not on crutches, I am allowed to be happy about my progress and shouldn't have to defend myself.
These women did however allow be to take five minutes our of my busy day to reflect some more on my 140 Colombo journey.
Today I parked at 6:30am on my last day working at 140 Colombo Street. just as I have for four years through, earthquakes, snow, ice, power outages, demolition, carpark resurfacing, floods, road works and high nor west winds, traffic accidents, road closures, pregnant women tripping and getting injured, heads split from that yellow lane divider – it's been an exciting place to park! Some days I have been on my zimmer frame and crutches to no crutches and some days one crutch. The park I use is outside what had been a book shop, organic shop and for a while housed the little wooden toy man when he lost his premises after the earthquakes. The gorgeous Adele moved her premises home and it was exciting to see her and her Hubbie Andrew return to 140. I have seen the cupcake shop change hands, the gorgeous Mohair Store keep it's doors open through some tough times. The Sushi girls working long long days , The Movement Pilates girls opening in the dark and going home, whole carcasses delivered at dawn for Mark the butcher, friendly waves out to mark , Karyn South, Beckenham Beauty and Whole body and the Hairdressers. I have seen owners and staff of coffee culture come and go, and used their amazing service and premises as my choffice! Many goal setting sessions were had there! It has been a great place to work. I have parked my car with my permanent disability pass. No matter how I was feeling this small act allowed me to do what I do for others.
So once again Owner of Fabric House. What ever you think of me, my car parking ability or my disability..
The park outside your shop front, that door that you chose when you took the lease on has alway been a park for mobility passes. It is an awesome viewing point for the comings and goings of 140 Colombo street but It has never in my four years been a loading zone!
Previous Article It is recommended to assembly with two people..
I think their treatment of you is disgusting!! I will never ever shop in that business, I refuse to support bullies! I hear you sister, I too have hidden disabilities and on a good day, its nice to feel normal for a change!
You are a joy! I will share this and tell my friends never to shop there, Bullies that's all they are.
A letter to the editor of local would be good, bullies always lose in the end!
I'm sorry to hear you experienced this.
Name and shame everywhere you can, I reckon. The press, The Star etc. Does the Beckenham shopping area have a facebook page? Post this on there too.
I'm a warden and it really grinds my gears when I see people with no permits misusing mobility spaces – but $150 later, I don't think many of them will do it again!
I'll name and shame for you, I'm Chch born and raised (although moved out of town 18 months ago) so have plenty of friends and family there.


Take a ride on off – road vehicles on a difficult and attractive terrain in the very heart of Velebit and canyons of rivers on attractive paths.
"Off road Jeep Safary" goes through difficult terrains of Velebit, the canyons of the rivers Krneza, Krupa and Zrmanja and a wider area of rugged ground, attractive off -road tracks. Our off –road concept differs from classical Off road trips by the fact that the essence of the excursion is not oriented exclusively on the ride on difficult terrains, filming and stopping on historical and geographical sites only, but some additional activities like climbing, archery, picnic and alike are organized as well.
The trip lasts for approximately 3 hours and is about 40 km long.


In February 2019 Lyndon Brandy and Shulyn Hunter from the Wunan Jobs and Skills Centre team in Broome successfully supported 13 candidates as they began their journey to become the newest Coles employees. Lyndon and Shulyn successfully recruited an initial intake of 33 candidates who were participated in a screening assessment process, these candidates were provided with employment and interview readiness support where needed. From the initial 33 candidates, 23 candidates successfully secured a preliminary interview and from these 23 people, 17 people were shortlisted for interviews in store with the Coles Broome Store Manager.
Following the final in-store interviews, 13 candidates were offered employment at Coles Broome. The 13 successful candidates then completed an online induction process and various online training modules. Following completion of the in-store and online induction, the new employees were allocated rosters and are now members of the Coles Broome Team.
In March, Sienna Howard, Priscilla Hotereni and Bill Hearne from the Wunan Jobs and Skills Centre team in Kununurra successfully applied the same process to recruit and place 16 candidates with the Coles store in Kununurra. Sienna and the JSC team in Kununurra successfully recruited 33 candidates who then participated in the process, 25 of the candidates were selected for preliminary interviews in this process. At the completion of this recruitment and selection process, 21 people were offered in-store interviews with the Manager of the Kununurra store. From these interviews, 16 people were successfully offered employment on completion of inductions and training.
The new employees have been placed in roles throughout the stores and are now working in the Fresh Produce, Bakery, Meat and Deli sections as well as some night-fill positions.

Intelligence is a word usually associated with the living. The ability to perform tasks through logical reasoning, not through a predefined set of movements or passively reacting to environmental stimuli allows living beings to adapt and evolve. The degree of intelligence which surpassed other animals and the accumulation of knowledge through the ages allowed humans to dominate the current era. For a long time, intelligence was thought to be solely limited to living beings, but in the late 19th century, a new term was coined to define intelligence of artificial beings, mainly in the realm of science fiction, which was Artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is a type of system which can perform tasks in a smart manner akin to a human. Thought history different levels of systems were termed intelligent but in 1950 Alan Turing introduced the Turing test to determine whether or not a computer is capable of thinking like a human being.
Turing proposed that a computer can be said to possess artificial intelligence if it can mimic human responses under specific conditions. The original Turing Test requires three terminals, each of which is physically separated from the other two. One terminal is operated by a computer, while the other two are operated by humans.
During the test, one of the humans functions as the questioner, while the second human and the computer function as respondents. The questioner interrogates the respondents within a specific subject area, using a specified format and context. After a preset length of time or number of questions, the questioner is then asked to decide which respondent was human and which was a computer.
The test is repeated many times. If the questioner makes the correct determination in half of the test runs or less, the computer is considered to have artificial intelligence because the questioner regards it as "just as human" as the human respondent.
Types of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence can be categorized based on functionality which is separated into 4 types and based on technology which is separated into 3 types. Altogether there are 7 types of Artificial Intelligence.
Types of AI (based on functionality):
Reactive Machines
The most basic types of AI systems are purely reactive and have the ability neither to form memories nor to use past experiences to inform current decisions. Basic neural networks which provide outputs according to inputs and expert systems which act according to predefined sets of rules fall into this category.
Limited Memory
Limited memory artificial intelligence can store previous data and predictions when gathering information and weighing potential decisions — essentially looking into the past for clues on what may come next. Limited memory artificial intelligence is more complex and presents greater possibilities than reactive machines. Reinforcement learning, which learns to make better predictions through repeated trial-and-error, Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), which utilizes past data to help predict the next item in a sequence and Evolutionary Generative Adversarial Networks (E-GAN), which evolves, growing to explore slightly modified paths based off of previous experiences with every new decision belongs to this type of AI.
Theory of Mind is just that — theoretical. We have not yet achieved the technological and scientific capabilities necessary to reach this next level of artificial intelligence.
The concept is based on the psychological premise of understanding that other living things have thoughts and emotions that affect the behavior of one's self. In terms of AI machines, this would mean that AI could comprehend how humans, animals and other machines feel and make decisions through self-reflection and determination, and then will utilize that information to make decisions of their own.
Self-Aware
Once Theory of Mind can be established in artificial intelligence, sometimes well into the future, the final step will be for AI to become self-aware. This kind of artificial intelligence possesses human-level consciousness and understands its existence in the world, as well as the presence and emotional state of others. It would be able to understand what others may need based on not just what they communicate to them but how they communicate it.
Types of AI (based on technology):
Narrow Intelligence (ANI)
ANI is the most commonly applied type of AI in the current era. As you go deeper to know what is ANI, we can see that this type of Artificial Intelligence system can perform one or two tasks. It uses the training data and the learning experiences from the previous incidents.
Presently, everything in AI, right from the core developments to the sophisticated algorithms used for decision-making by machines, can be categorized under this type of Artificial Intelligence. ANI is also known as 'Weak AI' as it functions under a predefined, limited set of constraints.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
Artificial general intelligence is the hypothetical ability of an intelligent agent to understand or learn any intellectual task that a human being can. With an AGI the computer can perform tasks in a way that incorporates a wide range of disciplines. Companies like Open AI, Deepmind, Google Brain, etc are racing towards actualizing Artificial general intelligence.
Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI)
The development of ASI systems in the future would be a peak achievement in AI Research. The AI systems would use vast amounts of memory to perform tasks and make decisions even better than human beings.
The outstanding amount of memory, rapid processing capabilities, and accelerated pace of intelligent decision-making would enable machines to perform complex tasks easily and in a shorter period. They will be able to make complicated decisions influenced by numerous factors like never before.
The development is on, and the researchers are achieving success one step at a time. This concept is present in its nascent stage and very much theoretical. Yet, it might soon be a reality shortly.

Prosecutors step back as thousands of supporters rally for Poroshenko

2020/06/19 - 23:40 • More, Politics
Edited by: Sonia Maryn
On 18 June 2020, the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv had to consider demands to detain former President Petro Poroshenko during the investigation of his alleged wrongdoings — the illegal appointment of deputy head to the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine. Thousands of Poroshenko supporters rallied in protest. The case has gained international attention, with warnings against political persecution by the European Parliament, the US Embassy in Kyiv, former Polish President Aleksander Kwaśniewski, and Canadian diplomats.
Perhaps surprised by the unexpected volume of protest, prosecutors reduced their initial demand for custody by the lesser order of a personal commitment by Poroshenko to remain in the country. The court also adjourned the hearings to 1 June, taking no consideration of the original insistence on the preliminary measures for Poroshenko.
The accusation of an illegal appointment has no clear grounds, since such an appointment falls under the direct purview of the president — at the time, Poroshenko — and the framework of this public service is defined by the president, according to law. Not any more convincing are 17 other questionable criminal charges that have been brought against Poroshenko.

During Poroshenko's remarks to his supporters gathered outside the courthouse, Poroshenko directly addressed President Zelenskyy:
I want to repeat to you once again: my team and I love Ukraine very much. We respect the institution of the presidency. You are not our enemy and you should not be afraid. Our enemy is Putin, whom you forgot to mention in your interview with [outlet] Ukrayinska Pravda.
Poroshenko also thanked foreign diplomats and politicians, Ukrainian political parties, and the thousands of protesters who supported him during the court hearings. Regarding the decision of prosecutors to reduce their proposed preliminary measures and adjourn court hearings, Poroshenko commented:
They tried to give us a bribe. To replace arrest with personal commitment [not to leave the country and arrive whenever they ask]. No, Poroshenko did not take bribes, does not take and will not take. They did it to take away my passport and not allow me to mobilize the world in support of Ukraine, as we did during the five years of my presidency. We now need the unity of the world in the confrontation with Russia. We must protect our land, state and people. To show that the heroic deeds of veterans, volunteers, soldiers and activists were not in vain. Today prosecutors ran away. But this is not a victory yet, but only the beginning of the struggle. I promise you nothing, as Churchill said, except sweat and work.
Wider coalition of support and "supporters not of Poroshenko but of the rule of law"
Protestors also took to the streets in Lviv, Kropyvnytskyi and other regional centers of Ukraine. They proclaimed "No" to political repression through criminal cases against Poroshenko and other politicians and activists, in particular Serhiy Sternenko of Odesa whose case of alleged murder is currently being heard in the Kyiv Shevchenkivskyi district court.

At least three other political parties, along with Poroshenko's European Solidarity, Holos, Democratic Axe, and Ukrainian Galician party condemned political persecution against Poroshenko.

Notwithstanding the large numbers of committed Poroshenko supporters, there are those in Ukrainian society who are skeptical about his former policies, especially his lack of overall judiciary reform. However, this group is increasingly mobilized, not to actually support Poroshenko outright but against political persecution in general and for the rule of law.
Valeriy Pekar, a lecturer at the Kyiv Mohyla Business School, calls on civil society to consolidate neither for nor against any specific politicians but rather to defend the rule of law. He criticizes Poroshenko for his failed judicial reform, but considers the former president's current prosecutions to be politically motivated.
"Citizens are divided into opponents of Poroshenko and supporters of Poroshenko. And where can the supporters of the rule of law go? Where to go for those who acknowledge Poroshenko's mistakes but do not acknowledge political persecution? … As long as we forget about principles and consolidate only for or against specific individuals, we will remain where we have been for the last almost 30 years: in feudalism, which recognizes only the principle of personal loyalty. "Poroshenko's repressive system" is, of course, an exaggeration. But it was President Poroshenko who implemented judicial reform… appointed dishonest judges, ignored all warnings…"
After the court hearings, protesters also gathered in front of Zelenskyy's President's Office demanding a stop to political persecutions, and not only against Poroshenko. Although the last charges filed against — or more accurately to persecute — the former president (and current leader of the opposition) other cases are still in progress against opposition members of Parliament. The majority of which are 17 additional cases against Poroshenko. The most publicly known of these accuses Poroshenko of "incitement of interreligious hostility" for his support to create the Ukrainian Orthodox Сhurch — independent of Moscow — during negotiations with Constantinople. The wording of these charges echoes Russian propaganda which depicts Ukraine's ongoing struggle to preserve its independence as "chauvinism."

China is slowly waking up to the notion that investing and growing alone is not enough to be successful in pig production. More needs to be done to eradicate disease and achieve better production figures. The eleventh CAHE showed exactly that.
Tales from China are always a little bit ambivalent. On one hand, they tell a story of cities growing at an astonishing pace, of a booming market demand for quality meat products and of a rapidly growing number of professional farms. On the other, however, an image emerges of backyard farming, a very high disease pressure and relatively modest pig growth performance figures. Only a quick look at some major livestock-related news in 2013 may confirm that – there were reports on dead pigs in the Huangpu river through Shanghai, and recent outbreaks of Avian Influenza in this same area caused an acute shortage to poultry meat due to transmission fears.
No wonder then, that the theme of health and hygiene could be found everywhere at the eleventh edition of the China Animal Husbandry Exhibition (CAHE), held in Wuhan, Hubei province, from 18-20 May.
The joint-venture Wellhope-De Heus was set up in 2008 and has always focused on becoming more than just a feed supplier – both companies wanted to help their customers in the long-term by also assisting in giving knowledge in classes and backup services. To fill the gap in hygiene issues, a third party was especially introduced. In came Dutch equipment and services company MS Schippers, which signed a joint-venture with Wellhope-De Heus in 2011, especially focusing on these hygiene issues. The company Schippers (Beijing) Technology and Trade was officially founded earlier this year.
The notion that producers sometimes need some additional education is known inside the Chinese market as well, explained Xue Peng, senior technical assistant at Boen, a premix manufacturer headquartered in Guangzhou, southern China.
The company, employing 800 people, and currently having four plants in southern China with two more planned, has a special notion for concepts like sustainability environment. "We have a focus on the future," Xue said. "We would like to make a change in Chinese pig production. Many pig producers, however, do not want that. Backyard producers are usually just interested in earning some money – not to invest it. And if business is bad, well, then they simply do something else. That is not a healthy industry in my view – and still creates a lot of pollution. Ideally, sow farms should perhaps have roughly 1,000 sows.
One of the ways, Boen aims to set an example, is by constructing a model breeding farm in 2014, housing 600 sows and introducing various state-of-the-art management concepts from Europe, like modern ventilation systems and potentially even air washers or a biogas installation. The farm should be stocked with superior also European genetics. Demonstrating how modern farming is done shall be one of the test farm's main goals, Xue added, together with the testing of new concepts and training of new staff.
Making sure breeding animals are guaranteed free of diseases is one way to improve a health situation – ask the Danish about that! No wonder then that DanAvl, organising Danish pig breeders, has a strong presence at CAHE. The Danish plan to expand strongly in China, explained Jørgen Lindberg, who has been CEO and COO for a year now, for three interrelated Danish breeding companies in China, all related to DanAvl.
"Lianyungang Scandinavian Farms Pig Industries was set up to build a commercial production, a complete chain with 2,500 sows until slaughter pigs. Growth aims are conform to the Chinese market – in four years time there have to be 20,000 sows and half a million slaughter pigs, as well as four feed mills.
The breeding facility has been populated with Specific Pathogen Free breeding pigs from Denmark. The only difference with Danish breeding pigs is that these animals had to be vaccinated for Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD), Classical Swine Fever (CSF) and Aujeszky's Disease (pseudorabies), which is mandatory for importing pigs into China. In addition, in China, the pigs are vaccinated against PRRS in China.
Lindberg sums up the advantages of Danish genetics, touching on the number of live born piglets – as well as those still living after five days; feed conversion rate; high lean meat percentages; and the fostering qualities of Danish sows.
The eleventh edition of the China Animal Husbandry Exhibition (CAHE), held 18-20 May in Wuhan, Hubei province showcased a record 1,426 exhibitors. In total, 152 booths came from foreign companies. The show is a professional event, focused on the Chinese market and directed at all kinds of animal husbandry – pigs, poultry, beef cattle, sheep – even camels. The main focus however, was pigs.
The organising China Animal Agriculture Association (CAAA) said that the first and most important day of the show attracted 33,597 visitors – of which 3,506 were international visitors. Frequent countries of origin were the Netherlands and the US.
Due to the vastness of the country, and to be able to offer both visitors as well as exhibitors throughout the country an opportunity to attend CAHE, the annual show is held in a different city every year. Next year's show is at the same dates (18-20 May), but the location is still to be decided.

More than $12.9 billion will be wasted on unused cloud resources this year – which means public cloud users have an immediate need for automated savings and governance. Customers leveraging ParkMyCloud and CloudHealth's integrated solution are empowered to reduce this cloud waste – in fact, customers already using both platforms currently save an average of more than $25,000 monthly on their cloud bills.
"What we need to manage and optimize our cloud environments is cost control, user governance, and detailed reporting," said Melanie Metcalfe, Director of Project Support at Foster Moore. "It makes our cloud operations simpler and easier when solutions from different vendors are integrated out of the box, and we're glad to see CloudHealth and ParkMyCloud making this a reality."
"We're seeing a trend of more and more companies using multiple clouds," said ParkMyCloud CEO Jay Chapel. "What single- and multi-cloud customers have in common are skyrocketing bills, and they don't have the time or resources to control these costs. We solve this problem by providing an automated cost control solution. By combining this with CloudHealth's visibility and governance, customers can achieve end-to-end cloud cost optimization and governance."

Yaba Higher College was founded in 1932 in Yaba, now a suburb of Lagos in Nigeria to provide tertiary education to Africans, mostly in vocational subjects and teaching. The college staff were transferred to start the University of Ibadan in 1948 and the college premises were used for the new Yaba College of Technology.

Foundation

Yaba Higher College the brainchild of E. R. J. Hussey, who became Director of Education in Nigeria in 1929. Soon after arriving, he proposed a higher college at Yaba similar to the Makerere College in Uganda, his previous posting. The goal was at first to train assistants for government departments and private firms, with a gradual increase in standards until eventually the college would reach the level of a British university.
Hussey gained acceptance of the plan, starting with a "special medical school at King's College".
By 1932 the school had its own building - a temporary hut - and other courses were added.

The college at Yaba was an all-male residential institute.
It was officially opened in January 1934.
It provided vocational training in subjects that included agriculture, forestry, medicine, veterinary science, surveying and civil and mechanical engineering.
It also provided training for secondary school teachers, mainly science teachers.
Yaba was affiliated with the University of London.
The college offered limited diplomas, so Nigerians who wanted higher education either had to go abroad or earn external degrees from the University of London through correspondence courses.

Educated Nigerians were vocally critical of Yaba College.  Four days after the college opening, the Nigerian Daily Times described it as "a grand idea, and imposing structure, resting on rather weak foundations". Noting the low standards of the Middle Schools, whose graduates would enter Yaba, the Daily Times said "..we wish to declare emphatically that this country will not be satisfied with an inferior brand [of education] such as the present scheme seems to threaten".
The Nigerian Youth Movement, formed by members of the Lagos intelligentsia who were protesting the plan for Yaba College, soon became an important nationalist organization.

Evolution

Starting in 1935 there was growing official pressure to have northerners attend Yaba Higher College.
In 1939 the Director of Education, Morris, proposed that Yaba should train future northern middle school teachers. The Chief Commissioner was also concerned that northerners obtain education at Yaba sufficient to qualify them for civil service positions to avoid the risk of southerners establishing a monopoly on such posts.
Other officials considered that the training available to northerners at Kaduna College was equivalent, if not superior in some subjects, and would be cheaper.

Due to the limitations of the Yaba College curriculum throughout its existence, most Nigerians who were qualified for university-level education attended Fourah Bay College in Sierra Leone or, if they were from a wealthy family, attended a university in the USA or the United Kingdom.
In 1948 Yaba College was moved to a location further north, becoming the University College of Ibadan.
The Yaba College of Technology, founded in 1947, was the successor to Yaba Higher College, and became the second post-secondary educational institute after the University of Ibadan.

Nina Lund Westerdahl scanned a series of objects that could be found in the archive. She particularly focused on a collection of jam-jars in which the participants of the workshops had »conserved« elements of Zurich. By scanning tactile objects, Nina questioned the digitalizing of archives and the priority of pictures and text-based documents in much archival practice. The resulting scans explore the interface between what is lost when turning objects into printed documents, and also what can be gained.
Sabeth Tödtli and Dominik Fornezzi built a labyrinth out of the card-board boxes, labels, written notes, pictures and objects that constituted the material of the archive. The labyrinth ended up in a cave-like construction with the room for two people to sit down and have a look at all the material surrounding them. In the middle of the »cave« a so-called »what-if hat« was hanging from the roof. Visitors were invited to put on the hat and use the flash light hanging besid it to light up the different things they would want to investigate closer. The labyrinth was based on the invisible Zürichs motto: »Ich bin verdichtete Möglichkeit und gestapelte Zukunft«.
Ildi Serako made an installation of a warm winter coat hovering over the archive. The inside of the coat was filled with pictures from the archive. Ildi wanted to depict the kindness and warmth of the city and its memories, how it may protect us from the cold, and also how it may lift and guide us into an unknown future.

Diagnostic pathway
Specific Treatments for Alpha Mannosidosis
Identifying Alpha Mannosidosis
Alpha Mannosidosis is a rare inherited Lysosomal Storage Disease (LSD) caused by a deficiency in the enzyme alpha-mannosidase.1
Impaired function of alpha-mannosidase causes a block in the degradation of glycoproteins and thereby a progressive lysosomal accumulation of mannose-rich oligosaccharides in all tissues, resulting in impaired cellular function and apoptosis.2
Characteristics of Alpha Mannosidosis3
facial and skeletal abnormalities
Depending on the severity of the symptoms, Alpha Mannosidosis has been classified into 3 proposed sub-types:4
MILD FORM
A mild form, clinically recognized after ten years of age, with absence of skeletal abnormalities, and very slow progression.
MODERATE FORM
A moderate form, recognized before ten years of age, with presence of skeletal abnormalities, slow progression and development of ataxia at age 20-30. This is the most common form.
SEVERE FORM
A severe form, immediately recognized with skeletal abnormalities, and obvious progression, leading to an early death from primary central nervous system involvement or myopathy.
However, given the variety of mutations that have been documented, and the broad range and severity of symptoms, the disease is considered clinically as a continuum.56

SHERIDAN, Colo. — When President/CEO Joe Ellis arrived at Habitat for Humanity's Sheridan Square community two years ago, he and other Denver-area CEOs focused their efforts on building three houses.
When Ellis returned Thursday for Habitat's annual CEO Build, he stood in a neighborhood that now boasts more than 30 houses.
Seeing that progress is nothing short of rewarding for Ellis, who supported the CEO Build for the fifth consecutive year.
Ellis joined Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver CEO Heather Lafferty in co-hosting the event, which welcomed more than 40 CEOs on Thursday to build houses for families in need.
"We have 40 CEOs who are spending the entire day out here swinging a hammer with us, helping us to raise walls and put up siding and make these houses a place to become a home for hard-working families," Lafferty said.
And as Habitat aims to put the finishing touches on a neighborhood that will be home to 63 families, Lafferty said it's hard to overstate the impact Ellis and the Broncos have had on the organization.
Though Ellis traded his CEO responsibilities for construction work on Thursday, he still faced questions about the Broncos and whether they can put an end to their recent three-game losing streak.
"I'm not concerned about spiraling downhill," Ellis said. "I'm looking forward to us bouncing back this weekend. That's where our focus is. I believe we'll be ready for the Rams on Sunday. A very good football team, a big challenge for us, but [there is] a lot of football left to be played. Five games in, obviously disappointed with the last three weeks because we set high standards for ourselves. Last week was very disappointing, but you move forward from it. You've got no choice. I think our players, our coaches and all of our football staff understand that."
On Thursday, though, Ellis had a more immediate goal: to help finish a few more homes for deserving families.
Ellis' tasks for the all-day event included building front porches, and that promised to be anything but easy.

El bordado y el poder de las flores son el nuevo "must have" en estos días. Transforman cualquier prenda al lado mas femenino posible y por supuesto la convierten en una suerte de protagonista de cualquier atuendo.
El secreto para lograr tu look está en saber combinarlas con las prendas adecuadas. La blusa impacta por sí sola, pero no por eso el resto del atuendo debe pasar desapercibido. Así, escogí el tono rojo de las flores como punto de convergencia de todo el atuendo.
The embroidery and flower power are the newest must have on these days. They transform any garment to the most feminine side possible and of course make it a sort of protagonist of any outfit.
The secret to achieve your look is to know how to combine them with the right clothes. The blouse hits on its own, but that's nota reason to keep the rest of the outfit unnoticed. Thus, I chose the red tone of the flowers as a convergence point of the whole outfit.


A dancer isn't always born a dancer. Sometimes a mother has to step in.
Growing up on the South Side of Chicago with his single working mother, Solomon Dumas was involved in community theater and interested in the arts. But dance wasn't much of a presence in his life until his mother signed him up for AileyCamp, when he was 12.
AileyCamp turned out to be a good choice.
