Q: Python in Execute Process Task I have written a python code, then ran it through SSIS in the Execute Process Task, because I want to schedule it with table refresh dependency(which is not possible through windows scheduler or Alteryx).
The code reads and writes to SQL management studio to translate via Google API (pip install googletrans==4.0.0-rc1), with no output or input through SSIS. the input and output are done through sqlacademy in python.
The codes runs perfectly fine in Jupyter notebook, and I saved it to be .py file, but I face a lot of error in the Execute Process Task in SSIS.
Here are a couple of the solutions I tried:

*

*in EXCUTABLE (in command prompt written where python copied .exe path)
in Arguments C:......\file.py
in WorkingDirectory C:......\ (only removing the file name while keeping the backslash
no white spaces a solution from stackflow)
Error:

"C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe" "UC2.py" at "C:\Users\me\Downloads\folder\test", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".

*in EXCUTABLE (in command prompt written where python copied .exe path)
in Arguments 'file.py' (file name in quataion a solution from stackflow)
in WorkingDirectory C:......\ (only removing the file name while keeping the backslash
no white spaces a solution from stackflow)
Error:

The process exit code was "2" while the expected was "0"

*move the .exe to a folder were no other files exists.

The process exit code was "-1073741515" while the expected was "0"

I also tried opening a new project.
then I tried right click change success value no error when running in SSIS, but the following error pops up:
enter image description here
everything even the sql server is installed on the remote desktop.

A: HelloWorld.err.py
A trivial python script that will write a string to standard out, another to standard error and the exit with return code 1.
import sys
print("Hello world")
print("Egads, something bad happened!", file=sys.stderr)
exit(1)

SSIS package
A sample SSIS package would look something like the following. An Execute Process Task has a successor of a Script Task.

Double click the precedent constraint (the line between the two) and change that from the default of Success to Completion

EPT Python
An Execute Package Task that is configured as shown

*

*Executable: C:\Program Files\Python39\python.exe

*Arguments: C:\ssisdata\SO_75361110.err.py

*StandardOutputVariable: User::StdOut

*StandardErrorVariabele: User::StdErr

SCR Echo Back
This is a generic Script Task that I use and abuse to dump the values of SSIS Variables to the output log/results tab. It's easy, lightweight and let's you print values without popups or any hard work.
All you need to do is add the Variable(s) in the readonly/readWrite collection. In this case, I selected User::StdOut and User::StdErr
using System;
using System.Data;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace ST_ede4b38a087c4724a71149ffc5ed6be9
{
    [Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ScriptTask.SSISScriptTaskEntryPointAttribute]
    public partial class ScriptMain : Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ScriptTask.VSTARTScriptObjectModelBase
    {
        public void Main()
        {
            bool fireAgain = false;
            foreach (Variable item in Dts.Variables)
            {
                Dts.Events.FireInformation(0, "SCR Echo Back", string.Format("{0}->{1}", item.QualifiedName, item.Value), "", 0, ref fireAgain);
            }

            Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
        }

        enum ScriptResults
        {
            Success = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult.Success,
            Failure = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult.Failure
        };
    }
}

Results
When my package runs, as "expected" the SuccessValue from my run will be 1 given that I use exit(1) from the python script.
Let's see what the Output tab looks like
SSIS package "C:\Users\bfellows\source\repos\SO_Trash\SO_Trash\SO_75361110.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC0029151 at EPT Python the thing, Execute Process Task: In Executing "C:\Program Files\Python39\python.exe" "C:\ssisdata\SO_75361110.err.py" at "", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".

Of note, are these two lines

Information: 0x0 at SCR Echo Back, SCR Echo Back: User::StdErr->Egads, something bad happened!

Information: 0x0 at SCR Echo Back, SCR Echo Back: User::StdOut->Hello world

That's our Script Task echoing back the value of our Standard Out and Standard Error text streams. My suspicion is that given a "normal" run is 10 minutes and the runs from SSIS are measured in seconds, the process execution is throwing errors to the caller but nobody is listening. This will add a listener and give you better information to diagnose your root cause.

A: here is how I troubleshooted, in windows I did the following:
To trouble shoot I eliminated factors to find the root cause, thus I noticed SSIS runs on the command prompt so I directly ran the .py in the command prompt.

*

*I wrote in command prompt where python I got two .exe paths then I copied the python version I was using as a path in SSIS in the Execute Process Task.

*Next there is two options:

*

*Option one, Create a batch file:

*

*right click inside a folder press new then text document

*write (make sure you replace the .exe path with your own executable python path, and .py path with your own python file path):
" C:\Users\...\python.exe " " C:\Users\...\python_file.py " pause

*save as name.bat (write .bat after the desired name)

*then in cmd write cd C:\Users\...\folder (replace the path with the .bat folder path)

*then write in command prompt the .bat file name with .bat at the end name.bat

*Option two, run .py directly:

*

*Go to windows search bar write system click on system control panel then click advance system settings, a window will pop up click environment variables.

*Then under User variables for username, double-click path make sure your exactable are added like the following:(note I have Python311 because I have python 3.11)
C:\Users... \Python311\python.exe
C:\Users..\Python311\Scripts
C:\Users..\Python311

*Make sure all of the three paths are first by clicking them then selecting move up so this executable will be your default .exe path.

*To check once writing where python it will now be the first one to come up.

*Then run by writing in command prompt the following python C:\Users\...\python_file.py

*trouble shoot based on the error message, mine was even though the code was running perfectly fine in some of the studios, the installation of packages was not done on the executable I provided in SSIS in the Execute Process Task(which is not the same executable that the studios used), so for installations I did the following:

*

*write C:\Users\...\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip(you may skip this but my pip was not working)

*write C:\Users\...\python.exe -m pip install packagename

Published November 29, 2020 by Routledge
Book Description Table of Contents Author(s) Reviews Support Material
Ours is the era of "reinvention". From psychotherapy to life coaching, from self-help manuals to cosmetic surgery and from corporate rebranding to urban redesign: the art of reinvention is inextricably interwoven with the lure of the next frontier, the breakthrough to the next boundary – especially boundaries of the self.
In this new, updated edition of this remarkable book, Anthony Elliott examines "reinvention" as a key buzzword of our times. Through a wide-ranging and impassioned assessment, Elliott unmasks the ever-increasing globalization of reinvention – from reinvention gurus to business reinvention, from personal makeovers to corporate rebrandings. In doing so, he undertakes a serious if often amusing consideration of contemporary reinvention practices, including super-fast weight-loss diets, celebrity makeovers, body augmentations, speed dating, online relationship therapies, organizational restructurings, business downsizings and many more.
The second edition of Reinvention includes a new chapter on the digital revolution and artificial intelligence, which situates reinvention within the context of technological automation. There is also a discussion of how the Covid-19 global pandemic has impacted today's cultures of reinvention. In addition, there is a new concluding chapter in which the author develops further his theoretical account of the nature of reinvention societies.
This absorbing book will continue to be the ideal introduction to reinvention for students and general readers alike. Reinvention offers a provocative and radical reflection on an issue (sometimes treated as trivial in the public sphere) that is increasingly politically urgent in terms of its personal, social and environmental consequences.
Introduction: the rise of reinvention
1. The reinvention of bodies
2. The reinvention of persons
3. The reinvention of careers
4. The reinvention of corporations
5. Networks of reinvention
6. The reinvention of places
7. Reinvention after AI
Conclusion: the reign of reinvention
Anthony Elliott is Executive Director of the Hawke EU Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence at the University of South Australia, where he is Dean of External Engagement and Research Professor of Sociology. He is a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, Senior Member of King's College, Cambridge, and SuperGlobal Professor of Sociology (Visiting) at Keio University, Japan. He is the author and editor of many books in social theory, including most recently Identity Troubles (2016), The Culture of AI (2019) and Concepts of the Self (2020).
"Elliott makes a lot of interesting points and connections. His mind works in intriguing ways."
"Elliott is to be praised for turning a question frequently trivialized by media commentators and critics into one that constitutes a serious subject for cultural sociology."
- CULTURAL SOCIOLOGY
"Reinvention offers up a rich, detailed exploration of the world of reinvention. What Elliott manages to do is make sense of the matter-of-factness of this culture and bring some perspective to how we got here."
- JOURNAL OF TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION
"An informative and frequently entertaining account showing how corporations strive to reinvent their markets, organizational structure and culture... An informative introduction which should provoke a great deal of discussion."

Last year, it was a very unfavorable year for having committed Tai Sui and Tai Sui. However, this year, it still faces the problem of "Tai Sui becoming a victim of harm." It is more than that, and the fortunes have not yet gone very well.
This year's financial stability is not suitable for major investments.
Career opportunities change, but to maintain the status quo favorable, Yi Shou should not attack.
Affection is very weak this year, may change, both sides tolerate each other and learn more.
This year there is fierce stars "sickle", poor health, do a health check early in the year, pay attention to gastrointestinal diseases. At home, two black (positive west) and five yellow (positive north) two sick places, put six coins to resolve.


I parked at the lower Bear Mountain Trailhead off of Seven Lakes Drive, and took the 1777 W Trail west paralleling the road. At its intersection with the Time Torn Trail, took the trail across the Palisades Parkway on the overpass, and then around the Queensboro Lake police shooting range, and then continued on the trail to the shoreline of Queensboro Lake. Continued along the trail across the brook, and right after the crossing there is a nice small waterfall cascade right below the outlet dam of the Turkey Hill Lake.
Turkey Hill Lake is one of the most remote and serene Lakes in Harriman, with no vehicular access so it always requires a hike to view. Continued along the path on the southern shore of the lake, and at the intersection of the Anthony Wayne Trail I veered south onto that trail. I took the Anthony Wayne Trail in its entirety from beginning to end. Continued on the trail to Route 6, crossed the busy road, and then went into the wet and swampy area until 7 Lakes Drive. I fell in the mud a few times here on the trail getting my boots and pants all muddy. Crossed 7 Lakes Drive at Queensboro Brook, and then continued along the trail past the Anthony Wayne Rec area and then all the way to the end of the trail at the intersection of the Timp Torne Trail. Much of the Anthony Wayne Trail is very close to the highway and you constantly hear the loud sounds of the cars on the highway, which disturb the sense of serenity. Took the Timp-Torne north for a very short distance to the 1777 W and then headed back to my car from there.
I recommend staying on the trail as well.

After few months in the company I was kindly nominated by Richard to produce an article for our blog. This gave me an opportunity to raise a topic that has been in my mind for the past 18 months. How to cope with two sets of targets that appear to conflict? Is there a way to transform these challenges into opportunities that could yield additional benefits?
So, what are we looking at here then?
Savings Targets - As anyone working in procurement knows, it is the numbers that count when it comes to savings. Everyone has their targets, something that will definitely drive behaviour and focus (these targets are after all linked to most people's bonuses). Savings have to be tangible and approved by the stakeholders. The procurement professionals are not only facing the external challenges to negotiate and source better to produce these results, they also have their work cut out to on the internal sale for their proposals. This often leads to a great deal of tricky management of stakeholders varied priorities and expectations as well as plenty of change management to drive the execution.
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Diversity - Currently there are no set targets for companies in UK, there is a strong trend indicating that especially larger blue-chip companies are readying themselves. UK Government has set themselves a goal of having 25% of central government spend with Small and Medium sized enterprises (SMEs) by March 2015. Current rate of SME spend is 16%, this leaves high expectations for their G-Cloud purchasing system that is expected to help SMEs to participate in tenders more easily. If the trend in UK Public Sector and in US is anything to go by, we might see mandates for certain levels of SME spend for companies wanting to do business with Public Sector bodies in the future.
What help is there then available for companies that want to ensure they advocate diversity in their supply chain?
The first thing that comes to mind is robust Spend Analytics. If you are not able to identify and monitor your SME spend, it is going to be very hard to improve on it. Most of the modern tools in this space support the flagging of this spend. The difficulty can sometimes be faced when trying to identify SMEs in your supply chain in a robust manner. Ways to do this can include utilisation of external data (D&B extracts, collaboration with organisations like MSDUK etc), but also can be done via internal exercises (such as online survey for any identified potential SMEs).
Additionally you can use eSourcing to support these targets. The use of this technology can help to open up your tenders to larger group of vendors and remove barriers for smaller companies taking part in them. With eTenders you can actively support the participation of SMEs in your tenders whilst ensuring the fairness and transparency of the process. The targets can also be supported by Contract Management and Catalogue systems that provide the user easy way to identify these suppliers.
So, going back to the initial dilemma - how can we create an environment where both agendas can flourish? How can Procurement as a function support business to both save their resources and support efforts to diversify the supplier base? In essence it could boil down to value they both provide to the business. My observation working in Procurement was that the value of the diverse supplier base was not always fully identified. In a busy procurement world it was often easy to look into leveraging spend and rationalising supplier base to gain savings. Diversity was seen as an exercise that was done often to satisfy an external target. How can this perception be changed? Can an organisation start identifying and utilising (dare to say, even monetise) the benefits of a diverse supplier base? Can this be used in B2B marketing, supporting corporate responsibility? Communication direct to consumers?
I believe there is a way for the businesses to have these two agendas running parallel (whilst supporting each other), required is a better understanding of the benefits they both bring to the table. I would be very interested hearing anyone's experiences in regards to these? Does your organisation identify the benefits of both?
Hey Pavel.. this is of interest.. I could see other large funds asking the same questions in other territories. If the UK Government doesn't start forcing the question first.
Hi, I am the SME Director of PSNGB, the industry association for Public Service Network (PSN) suppliers. We are actively working with government bodies to make it easier for SME's to bid for tenders directly and sub-contract to larger companies. We strongly support the idea that SME's are often more fleet of foot and therefore innovative, as well as more cost-effective.


A laptop computer is an essential piece of equipment for most company owners. Keeping that laptop uncluttered goes a lengthy way towards growing productiveness and decreasing stress.
Printing is at twenty ppm, whether color or mono and for copying, up to sixteen ppm, again, color or mono. That twenty-ppm might be a little bit optimistic and the printing is a little bit loud throughout hefty use. Neither is to the stage of disappointing customers who stay overwhelmingly pleased by the device. The scanner is at 1200 x 2400 dpi. About the only factor this multipurpose canon ij network tool doesn't do is FAX. Regardless of its wide range of functions, the DCP-9042CDN is recognized for being simple to use with an Liquid crystal display show that's self-explanatory. You gained't have to waste beneficial worker time coaching the staff to use this machine.
If you are mailing your Chinese New Yr card, you'll certainly want to use the "Year of the Rat" stamp being produced accessible on January 9th, 2008 by the U.S. Postal Services. Is it a "rat" stamp? No. Actually it features festive red lanterns. Red is regarded as a image of luck and these lanterns are frequently hung in a row to enhance for Chinese New Year celebrations. The U.S. Postal Service will carry on to offer the Chinese New Yr stamps for each of the twelve animals utilized in the Chinese calendar.
Before heading to the store to choose out the papers you will use, sit down and sketch out what you think the invitation should look like, or what you want it to look like. Once you are at the store, it is easier to choose papers if you know what the general style is heading to look like. You can even make a few different sketches and then when you are picking the papers, you may finish up liking the design more of one sketch rather than another. Maintain your choices open and appear online and in magazines and books for inspiration.
As time goes on, make certain to e-mail updates in to your site supplier. They can update the site with dates and places of readings or guide signings, submitting the transcript to any online Q&As you might have carried out, adding to your list of reviews as they come in, and listing any other info as you get it. Make use of this services to keep your website fresh and keep people coming back again.
Don't use extravagant typefaces just simply because you have them (I'm assuming for all of this, because you're reading this on the Web, that you use a computer and a word processing plan). I have a quantity of typefaces that I love, and use for numerous functions — Lithograph for my Opus 40 letterhead, Bad Richard or Papyrus for instant messages. Tahoma, with a small font size and bolded. looks really good. But if I'm getting ready a manuscript for publication, I use Courier and absolutely nothing else. It's Ok to use Occasions New Roman, but that's the most unique you can possibly allow your self.
Today's technical process is so a lot easier, no dashing about, developing and printing and hoping you will promote something at the finish of the evening. With an on-site finish-to-finish workflow the photographer and his group can now produce a quality product without all these previous stresses. Now we just have to attempt and persuade the client that they look great in that fifth established of portraits we did for them, "No, I can't see any wrinkles. You look fantastic". Oh Nicely.

For a truly mobile device, operating to de-perimeterised principles, a wireless connection is probably required to achieve optimal connectivity while roaming. From a security stance, all foreign networks, wired or wireless, should be regarded as hostile. However the ability to make a transparent wireless connection remains elusive due to the lack of standards in this area (especially around Wi-Fi) that inhibits the exploitation of de-perimeterisation.


Every discussion about the 2017 class of the Pro Tour Hall of Fame started with the United States' Josh Utter-Leyton's five Pro Tour Top 8s—by far the most impressive résumé coming on to this year's ballot for the first time. Even the always-modest Utter-Leyton fully expected to get the call telling him he would be joining several of his ChannelFireball teammates in the Hall of Fame.
"I definitely thought I would be getting in," admitted Utter-Leyton. "I thought I was the best candidate on the ballot."
It's not something he could have imagined when he began playing the game in high school after seeing the game at a local comic shop. Armed only with the contents of a Revised starter deck, he attempted to teach himself the game from the enclosed rulebook.
"I played every land like it was a Lotus Petal—having to sacrifice it to use it—but I eventually learned the real rules. I got a lot of my friends at school into the game and would play with my buddies."
He stopped playing the game at some point and did not come back to it until he was returning home to visit during his freshman year of college. Ultimately it was a bad internet connection that would bring him back to the game, where he would become the feared Magic Online opponent known as Wrapter, before his ascent to the Pro Tour ranks.
"I was home from college and stealing my neighbor's wi-fi, and I was looking for a game that I could play over that connection for the summer. I kind of stumbled across Magic Online and was actually able to play it, and I just got super hooked right away. I just started playing a ton from there."
He would only play online for the next few years and developed a formidable reputation in Magic Online circles, where players like Luis Scott-Vargas and Gerry Thompson took note of his prowess.
"LSV knew who I was from online and I just fell in with that group eventually. It was mostly that I played a lot of Extended. The group of people that played Extended online was really small, and the group of people who could play the Counterbalance deck really well was really small. Luis and Gerry were like, 'Who is this Wrapter guy who keeps beating me? He actually knows how to play this deck.'"
His first big event was Grand Prix San Francisco, which was actually in his hometown of San Jose after his college graduation.
"I did not Day Two," laughed Utter-Leyton. "I think I played in one PTQ before the GP and right after that was the PTQ season for Pro Tour Hollywood. I played that whole PTQ season and won the last possible weekend for me to qualify for that Pro Tour. It was the old Extended format where Counterbalance was the best deck, and I was playing CounterTop the whole season. In my very first PTQ in that format, I definitely ended up with three draws, and one of them was against David Ochoa. That was how I met him."
The core of what would become the ChannelFireball superteam was starting to coalesce, as was Utter-Leyton's ability to string together Pro Tour invites after that first one in Hollywood even after a middling but star-studded Day One.
"I remember playing against Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa, Jon Finkel, and Mark Herberholz, and I lost to all of them. I went 4-4, which was pretty much the status quo for my first year on the PT. On the second day of the PT, there was a tournament to win an iPod and I went 9-0 in that, and from that, my rating was really high. That was how I qualified for that next tournament."
His first of five Top 8s at the Pro Tour level came at Pro Tour San Juan as the ChannelFireball team was just starting to hit its stride. It is commonplace these days for playtest teams to set up Pro Tour boot camps two weeks ahead of a PT in the city where the event is being held, living and breathing the format right up until the opening bell, but that was not always the case.
"It is weird that it wasn't like that before. It was a much more casual thing. At a time when nobody else was really putting in two full weeks' testing before a Pro Tour, we were just crushing it. It really demonstrated that if you put in the work you could see the results. Revealing that made everyone else more willing to put in time and effort. It is kind of cool seeing that just become the norm from there. The light bulb moment was the Caw Blade deck at Pro Tour Paris. That was the tournament where we really did it."
At Pro Tour Paris, the Caw Blade deck put six players into the Top 16 of the event and would win the whole thing in the hands of Ben Stark. It also helped then-teammate Brad Nelson to win the Player of the Year playoff. The deck was an iteration of the Caw-Go deck that had done well at Worlds at the end of the previous season. Utter-Leyton recalled how the deck evolved.
"Michael Hetrick played in an SCG event before the tournament and he had two Stoneforge Mystics in his sideboard. On the flight to Paris the week before the tournament, Kibler mentioned that he was interested in Hetrick's list and that the Stoneforge Mystics were kind of sweet. I thought that sounded REALLY good and I drew up a list on the flight over to Paris."
When Utter-Leyton finally got to play with the deck, he realized they had lightning in a bottle.
"The very first games we played, Brad Nelson went turn two Stoneforge Mystic and eventually had a turn where he got a Sword of Feast and Famine hit in on turn four and untapped to play Jace, the Mind Sculptor. The next turn he played a Gideon Jura and untapped with countermagic up. We just knew at that moment that this was a busted thing to be doing. The very first thing we did was add the fourth Mystic into the deck. We figured that out really quickly."
While that was a collaborative deck-building experience, Utter-Leyton's favorite deck is one he got to build on his own, a Jeskai Ascendancy combo deck from the 2014 World Championship.
"I was able to play with Dig Through Time and Treasure Cruise. I loved that deck so much. That was a weird case of it just being me on my own building the deck. That just doesn't happen anymore because you test with so many people and everybody is contributing and a part of it. That was just me playing a lot of games on Magic Online by myself because it was the World Championship and there weren't these big testing groups. It was a unique experience that I can wholly claim as my own, and the deck was super sweet and unique."
Five Top 8s, renowned deck builder, and founding member of the most influential team in modern Magic history would be enough for any Hall of Fame résumé , but Utter-Leyton also has two Top 4 finishes at the World Championship, has been the US National Champion twice, won Player of the Year in 2012–13, and is a Magic Online Champion. It was not hard to see why Josh Utter-Leyton was the leading vote getter on his ballot, and that meant a lot to him given how long he has made Magic a central part of his life.
"I have spent so much time and effort on the game to be as good as I can be at it. To be honored as one of the best of all time is just incredible," said Utter-Leyton, who wanted to thank another person who shared the same last name as him first and foremost among many people.
"Number one would be my mom for all the support she has given me. She has just been incredible cheering me on. That has been really wonderful. Certainly all of my teammates. The results are as much theirs as mine, and I seriously could not have done all of this without them. I hope that they feel like somewhat validated by me getting into the Hall because it is in some part attributed to them. Number one among those teammates has to be Luis [Scott-Vargas]. If anyone is the head of the CFB team, it is him. He is the one who took me under his wing when I was just starting out."
Utter-Leyton has been a little less active in playing Magic this past year, as there are increasing demands on his time, but he did not feel like there was any unfinished business to accomplish.
"Obviously it would be great to win Worlds or win a PT, but I am not looking at those as goals. There is nothing that I feel like I need to accomplish to be satisfied with my Magic career. I have already taken a step back from playing as much as I have in the past. Certainly without having to worry about getting to Gold every year—even though I failed to do that recently—I will be going to fewer GPs than I have in the past, but I love playing in Pro Tours. I still want to spend the time preparing for each one and playing the game at the highest level."
Stats are current as of the week of October 8, 2017.

Lucas Alcaraz takes charge of UD Ibiza for the remainder of the season and one more
MADRID, 29 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Unión Deportiva Ibiza confirmed this Monday the arrival of Lucas Alcaraz as the new coach of the current bottom team in LaLiga SmartBank, with whom he has signed for the remainder of this season and with the option of one more.
The 56-year-old coach from Granada arrives to fill the gap left by Juan Antonio Anquela, dismissed last week, and becomes the third tenant on the bench for the Balearic team this season since Javi Baraja was in charge of starting it.
Alcaraz has extensive experience in Spanish football as he has led Granada CF, Racing de Santander, Recreativo de Huelva, with whom he was runner-up in the Copa del Rey in 2003, Levante UD, Almería, Albacete and Zaragoza, among others. and accumulates 273 matches in the First Division and 195 in the Second. The Andalusian, who returns to Spain two years later after being fired from Albacete, had been without a team since last February, when he was dismissed from Cypriot Olympiakos Nicosia.

Michiganders are thrifty people. They are not extravagant in their spending. But they are keen for a good deal. Maids in a Minute knows this and offers a way for the people of Michigan to de-clutter their lives, save enormous amounts of time and not spend a lot of money doing so. Our current customers realize this but can tend to question it after a period of time. Our future customers may not realize the potential improvement in their lifestyle and productive time at all. They may not realize they need a maid.
We've identified the tell-tale signs that indicate you need the help of a maid in your life. This post will give you the indicators you need to see how you are much better off by hiring Maid In A Minute professionals.
If you work a lot, the last thing you want to do is come home and clean the house. If your business needs maid cleaning services, you don't want to do that in addition to your other duties, especially in your off-hours.
When the family time rolls around, you want to spend it doing something fun with them, not working on chores with a mop or a dirty rag.
The party is fun. Cleaning up before, during and after is not. Someone else should do that for you.
Whether you need help in your house while you care for your disabled or elderly family member, or you need to keep your family member's neglected home neat and tidy, the hours you spend cleaning take away from the care and support of your loved one.
If you have any energy left, you don't want to spend it washing the windows or mopping the floor. You want to spend it with your new arrival.
There's nothing fun about cleaning for most people. Many tend to avoid it like the plague. Or, they do it grudgingly and hate every minute of it. Why suffer when a professional can do a better job in less time?
Retirement? Birthday? Summer barbecue? Christmas or Holiday gathering? Graduation? Religious advancement? Wedding? Anything that is a celebration or party requires cleanup before, during and especially after.
What is your time worth in dollars-per-hour? Is it worth more than the cost of a maid? Probably. A homemaker in the United States has been estimated to be worth over $96,000 a year for services rendered. That's $48 an hour. Your time is worth protecting.
Perhaps the most important thing saved is your health. Reducing stress, increasing leisure time, taking the pressure off, eliminating exposure to chemicals, and maintaining a positive mood are all beneficial outcomes of hiring a home cleaning service.
We've made our case. If you exhibit any or all of these signs, then get in contact with us right away. We can alleviate your situation and calm your stressed nerves. We want you to get the most out of your time. That's why we're Maid In A Minute. Call us now!

Good Time For A Break? What Do Montanans Say About Social Media?
Derek Wolf
Derek Wolf Published: June 28, 2022

Social Media has become a huge part of our lives. In fact, the average Montanan will spend right around three and a half hours on social media today. When you add it all up, we are certainly spending a whole lot of our time staring at screens.
Of course, I don't have to tell you that whenever something newsworthy or controversial happens in our society, one of the first things that many of us do is go to social media and make our opinions known. Last Friday was the perfect example. When news broke that the United States Supreme Court had overturned Roe V Wade, social media was like a big 'ole dumpster fire.
One thing is for sure, a whole lot of folks have a viewpoint, and they believe it's the right one.
It seems like whenever something like this happens, lots of people tend to get offended when you don't agree with them. This usually results in other folks trying to convince you why you're wrong and they're right, or people will just delete "friends" from their list.
Disgusted man reading a text message
Needless to say, emotions tend to get the best of us in situations like this.
So have you ever taken a break from social media? If so, how did it go? Ironically, we posted that question on our Facebook page to see what people have to say about it. Here are a few of the responses below:
"Amazing! I do it often. Turns out you feel better and have more time." -Bailey
"Yes! I feel less stressed. I don't have to see all the negative posts and people bitchin. I do miss the marketplace and concert announcements but that's it! Plus, so many people on Facebook stalk. I don't like having my biz out there." -Maria
"Yes I love it." -Nita
So what do you think? Once again, we ask if you've ever taken a break from social media. Have you ever thought about maybe taking one? Make sure you vote in our poll below.
LOOK: 50 famous memes and what they mean
With the infinite number of memes scattered across the internet, it's hard to keep track. Just when you've grasped the meaning of one hilarious meme, it has already become old news and replaced by something equally as enigmatic. Online forums like Tumblr, Twitter, 4chan, and Reddit are responsible for a majority of meme infections, and with the constant posting and sharing, finding the source of an original meme is easier said than done. Stacker hunted through internet resources, pop culture publications, and databases like Know Your Meme to find 50 different memes and what they mean. While the almost self-replicating nature of these vague symbols can get exhausting, memes in their essence can also bring people closer together—as long as they have internet access.

Thank you for visiting my site! I've not had much time for this site over the last year, but I should have a bit more from now on and so you can expect new stuff to start appearing. Please let me know what else you'd like to see here, and what's wrong with the stuff that is here. (To do that, email me at rochestervaliant@yahoo.co.uk.)
Getting to football grounds
This section of the site has not been updated for over a year, but it will be back in time for the 2016-17 season. For now, it covers English football from the Premier League down to Step 6 as of 2014-15, and rugby league as of 2014.
Some other sports may be added in the future; rugby union is likely to be next.
The League Cricket Spreadsheet
Regular readers will know about this one. It's a spreadsheet about league cricket, especially the ECB Premier Leagues. It is available for both MS Excel and LibreOffice.
MS Excel version (1.81 mB): League_Cricket_XL.xls
LibreOffice version (736 kB): League_Cricket_LO.ods
A Big Spreadsheet
You'll never guess what's linked from the page called A Big Spreadsheet! An update of the Big Spreadsheet is currently in preparation and will appear, well, soon. At present, this spreadsheet tabulates the finishing positions (from the 1945-46 season onwards) of every football league which falls within what we now call Steps 1 to 5.
Another Big Spreadsheet – Places in These Islands
This spreadsheet was produced for my own professional purposes, and very useful it has been too. But since I own it and no one can tell me not to, I'm putting it on here in case anyone else finds it useful. It's a list of every place in the UK (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales), Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man which had a population of 500 or more as per the most recent information available. That comes to 6,414 places, and you'll find all of them from Abberton to Ystradgynlais – together with their populations and some other useless information – on the spreadsheet.
Anyone is welcome to use this information for private purposes or for the purposes of a not-for-profit organisation (to include state sector schools, colleges and universities within the European Union, Channel Islands and Isle of Man). Anyone wishing to use the information for the purposes of a commercial organisation is invited to get in touch with me at the email address above and talk money.
The spreadsheet is available for both MS Excel and for LibreOffice / Apache OpenOffice.
MS Excel version (755 kB): PTI_2014.xls

Recently my '93 Imprezza WRX has developed some issuses.
When downshifting from 3rd to 2nd and lifting the clutch out it will stall majority of the time BUT on the odd occasion I've been able to get into 2nd and quickly make it into 1st where the revs will flucuate and will sometimes stall or will simply idle like a normal tank.
I've taken the MAF off and it was pretty much spotless but I gave it a clean regardless but haven't fitted it back yet.
Second problem, it takes my car 4 tries to actually get it running and even on the fourth try I have to floor it to get the revs up.
For every single attempt I am depressing the acclerator when it catches.
Anything else that could potentially cause these problems?
I dont think you need to do the IACV if, once it is started it is idling fine. A boost leak test will only show if there may be a problem whilst the car is actually in boost and from your symptoms, that doesnt appear to be the case.
A faulty MAF would definately cause stalling issues. Have you tried running the engine then unplugging it? If the engine carries on, the MAF is fooked. If it stalls, then the chances are that the MAF is fine.
Have you changed the fuel filter? I had problem starting mine until I changed it. Now it starts first time, every time. You shouldnt need to press the accelerator pedal at all. In fact I found it made things worse. Just turn the key and it should fire within a second or 2.

Q: SQL query to exclude rows within same table with duplicate field values I'll try to be brief.
I have a single table that I need to get data from, Contacts.
There is a Company field and they can be in either company A or company B.
All contacts in company B will have a duplicate in Company A, that can be matched by another column LegacyID.
What I'm trying to get is all the Company A rows that DO NOT have someone in Company B with the same LegacyID.
I've tried AND LegacyID NOT IN (SELECT LegacyID FROM Contacts WHERE Company = 'B')  as well as AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT LegacyID FROM Contacts WHERE Company = 'B').
Neither of the above work because there are 260,000 Company A contacts and 96,000 Company B.  NOT IN and NOT EXISTS worked when there were less than 50,000 rows total, but now with data migration, the query is timing out or running forever.
Thanks

A: If I understand correctly, NOT EXISTS should do what you want:
select c.*
from contacts c
where companyId = 'A' and
      not exists (select 1
                  from contacts c2
                  where c2.legacyId = c.legacyId and c2.companyId = 'B'
                 );

For performance, you want an index on contacts(legacyId, companyId).

When you cut metal with a hacksaw or an angle grinder, you are sometimes left with burrs on the face of the cut. A quick way to clean these up is to rub the metal along a hard, rough surface like a brick or a concrete slab. A metal file will do a better job, but this works well.
Once you've decided on the size of the copper ladder for your bathroom, mark out the lengths on the copper pipe. For this project, we cut our copper to 500mm x five for the ladder rungs, 300mm x eight for the ladder verticals, 150mm x four for the top and bottom ends and 80mm x four for wall offsets.
You can use a hacksaw to cut your pipe for your lengths but the pipe cutter makes a cleaner cut without burrs. Clamp the pipe cutter onto the pipe and rotate it around the pipe. Tighten the cutter and repeat until the pipe is cut.
Use a metal cleaner and soft cloth to clean the ends of your copper pipe. This will make sure that the fittings stick to them.
To attach the T-pieces, apply a two-part epoxy adhesive to the ends of your 300mm ladder verticals. Attach the T-junctions at each end and wipe off any excess glue. You'll need to do this step for all eight of the ladder verticals.
To make sure the pipe sits securely in the wall fittings, you will have to flare the ends of the 80mm pipe. Use a flare kit and a hammer and flare the four ends of your wall offsets.
We're painting the wall fittings black to give the copper ladder a more industrial look. Before painting the fittings, spray them with an etch primer. This will make sure the paint sticks to the fitting. Then let the primer dry before spraying the fittings with the black paint.
When attaching your wall fittings to the pipe, a good tip is to make a hole in a disposable cup. Place the pipe into the wall fitting, then push the pipe through the hole in the upside-down cup. Apply the glue to the end of the pipe, stick the fitting on the end of the flared pipe, then let the fitting rest on the top of the cup. The glue should dry while it stands upright in the cup. You'll need to do this for all four wall fittings.
To complete your verticals, attach the four 150mm pipes to the ends of the verticals with the two-part epoxy glue. Then attach the elbow fittings into these ends with glue as well. Make sure the pipe is sitting straight at 90° and that the screw holes stay horizontal, so later you can easily attach it to the wall.
Glue and insert the 500mm horizontal rungs into the T-pieces of one of the vertical pipes. Make sure the ladder stays flat against your workbench while you do this. Wipe away any excess glue.
A good tip is to start at one end of the ladder and attach the rungs as you move down by applying glue into the T-junction on the vertical. When they're all in, push together all of the joints to make sure they stay parallel.
Now it's time to attach the four wall assemblies to your ladder. Glue the ends and carefully insert them into the elbow pieces. Make sure that they all sit at a 90° angle to the vertical ladder lengths.
Before installing the ladder, give it a good clean with a metal polish and a soft cloth so it will look great when you install it.
To attach the ladder to the wall, simply screw some wall anchors into your wall. Then use a drill to attach the ladder making sure the ladder is square.


Car Free Support Group – Anybody Interested?
I'm 61, retired, and have been car free here in Corvallis for just over 6 months now. I helped lead a discussion group on car free and car lite lifestyles at the recent Transformation Without Apocalypse conference, and we're doing another one at the library next May.
I think it would be awesome to have a group of like-minded people who get together to talk about this wonderful lifestyle, share ideas and solutions, and support each other in our choices for sustainability in general. My home is available for meetings and my energy is available for organizing it – I just need to see if there's interest. I'm new to the area, though, so I don't know a lot of people and live in a family neighborhood where everybody has cars.
So if you're interested, comment on this post and I'll say more in the next one.
This entry was posted in Car Free on March 28, 2014 by User-Submitted Story.
I am so happy to see Public Organizations like the Library and the community getting involved and making a difference. Lets get more people on bikes. Whatever it takes, I am in.

San Fransisco 49ers Head Coach Mike Singletary Holds London Press Conference
TMR Newswire
On TE Vernon Davis' status for practice:
"I think that's going to be one of the things depending on how the trainers feel before we go out and practice. It's still a day-to-day thing and I think he'll be fine. As far as practicing today, we'll be smart about it."
On whether Davis has an ankle injury:
"It's an ankle."
On whether it is different than his knee:
On whether it happened in Carolina:
On whether TE Delanie Walker would start for Davis:
"It depends, it could be Delanie. It could be [TE Nate] Byham because they do different things. So, it will depend."
On the week of work:
"I thought the week was good. I thought the thing that we accomplished, the mental work that we needed to get in and some of the bonding. The guys spent a lot of time with each other this week. I think it's a good time to do that. Overall, I thought it was very good for us."
On it being a good time because of the new QB:
"The quarterback, the way the season has gone to this point. So, I think a number of reasons. I think the time that we have spent over here has been well served."
On the wet conditions and how the playing surface held up during the week:
"I think the surface has been fine for what we were doing. It wouldn't be ideal for training camp, but it was fine for what we needed."
On whether it is good because Wembley may be wet:
"Yes, that's something we discussed early on in the week knowing that the situation that we're going to play in is going to be very similar to what we have out here. Rather than try and find a bubble or something like that, let the guys out and experience what the field is pretty much going to be like because the grass is cut just about the same level at Wembley as it is here."
On what he knows about QB Troy Smith now that he didn't at the beginning of the week:
"I think it's kind of like I've said before, you never really know about a quarterback until he plays in a real game. So, I'm looking forward to seeing how he responds on Sunday."
On how much of the play book will Troy Smith have down:
"He'll have enough for us to function and to get where we need to go."
On whether he will be calling his own audibles:
"Not a lot of them."
On the problems Broncos QB Kyle Orton poses:
"Well, the biggest thing that Kyle does is that he gets the ball out. He really gets the ball out quick, and I think when you face a team that does that, it makes you work that much harder in terms of trying to apply pressure. As a defense you have to figure out different ways of defending against that."
On whether you expect to see more of RB Brian Westbrook and RB Anthony Dixon this weekend:
"It's possible."
On whether that is a priority for you:
"It is a priority, yes it is."
On whether you consider Dixon your number two running back:
"No, I wouldn't exactly say that, I think both he and Westbrook, we just need to figure out ways to get them in and different packages or what have you. We just know that [RB] Frank [Gore] is the primary and as far as Westbrook and Dixon, we just have to do a better job of getting them in."
On whether there is a guy on the roster that could step in at quarterback in case Troy Smith or QB David Carr are injured:
"Yes. No [Laughing]."
On what kind of game you can promise London fans this weekend:
"Promise? It's going to be a good game. I don't know what Denver is going to do, but I can say that we will play well."
On why you say that:
"Why? Ok now you have to watch the game and then you will see."
On why you didn't activate QB Nate Davis to the active roster and have an emergency quarterback:
"Because there are other needs that we have on the 45 man roster and there are only so many people you can bring up. We have one or two guys that could step up in case of emergency and if we have to go through two quarterbacks, hopefully our offensive line can block a little better than that

With the cloud revolution well underway, countless businesses around the world are planning to migrate to the cloud in the near future if they haven't already. Providing outstanding flexibility and scalability, most business owners are already familiar with the benefits of migrating to the cloud, but others end up being sucked in by all the hype. While the benefits of cloud computing are undisputable, it is important to consider the pros and cons of both cloud-based and local systems as well as the various hidden costs concerning both.
Electricity | Local servers typically need to be kept on around the clock, and the amount of processing power required by many everyday business operations is also increasing. Obviously, these greater requirements lead to higher electricity bills, although most business owners barely take the utility costs of running their hardware into consideration. Most businesses simply take electricity for granted as the invisible commodity that it is. Although servers and other systems are more energy-efficient than they used to be, today's multiple-core processors and large RAID arrays draw a lot more power than you might think. Local IT systems can also generate a lot of heat to such an extent that the rooms housing them require constant cooling in order to maximize the lifespan of the hardware. These direct and indirect factors both increase your electrical overhead substantially. In fact, according to the US Energy Information Administration, a single server typically costs around $730 per year to run. Cloud computing is the clear winner here, since it requires minimal power-consuming on-site resources. You can also hire a remote dedicated server to enjoy the same or better performance than you would with an on-site system.
Bandwidth | While cloud computing presents many savings, it also introduces an entirely new problem in the form of bandwidth limitations. If your company doesn't have enough bandwidth available to it, then your cloud computing options will be limited anyway. However, the additional bandwidth required by more intensive cloud computing tasks can quickly skyrocket to the extent that you'll need to upgrade your Internet subscription to accommodate the increased traffic. By contrast, in-house servers are limited only by the internal network infrastructure of your company. Most of the better cloud computing services use a variety of innovative ways to handle bandwidth limitations. For example, Office 365 will download only new emails and ones that you open, and searches are handled on the remote server. While you'll still have a local cache containing your emails, it isn't necessary to download the entire database each time you open the program. Nonetheless, when you have an increasing number of users, it becomes harder for such systems to predict your bandwidth requirements and optimize bandwidth consumption. In-house servers definitely win over cloud computing platforms when it comes to bandwidth. Not only do higher bandwidth requirements demand additional costs – remote connections are always much slower than local ones.
Downtime | Downtime presents a serious issue for any modern business, since every hour that your servers are unavailable costs money. The cloud gets a great deal of publicity when it comes to downtime, with cases such as the widespread Gmail outage of September, 2013 making headlines around the world. All cloud systems are susceptible to downtime, either due to brief maintenance routines or for reasons beyond the control of the service provider, such as power outages or hardware failures. Despite the negative publicity, cloud-based systems experience, on average, significantly less downtime than in-house systems. However, what is most important is how much every hour of downtime costs your business, and this figure will be completely different from one company to the next. Nonetheless, billions of dollars are lost every month due to downtime, so it's an important consideration for all businesses, particularly larger enterprises. Most cloud-based services guarantee an uptime of at least 99%, which is significantly higher than most local systems. In spite of the bad press that cloud services sometimes receive, service providers generally offer excellent uptime figures that can easily rival almost any in-house server. After all, they have resources such as global server farms at their disposal.
Upgrades | On average, organizations of all sizes tend to replace on-site hardware every four to six years. After all, it's well known that technology is constantly evolving and, for any business that relies heavily on its IT resources, slow old hardware simply ends up costing money. As such, it's important for the sake of optimal performance and reliability to upgrade in-house systems as regularly as possible. However, smaller companies with limited budgets often end up having to push hardware beyond its recommended lifespan in order to save money. Cloud-based services invariably use a subscription payment model, whereby you pay monthly for the services required. By contrast, on-site systems need to be maintained, upgraded, repaired and, ultimately, replaced on a fairly regular basis, often at enormous cost to the company. However, even with cloud-based services, you'll still need reasonably modern workstations to be able to use the remotely provided services to their fullest potential. In other words, you'll always have to rely on local hardware at least partially. Due to the time and money involved in upgrading and maintaining local servers and software licenses, cloud computing is the clear winner here. Its flexible nature allows you to pay for the resources you need, and the system will always be up to date.
TCO | When planning a migration to cloud-based services, many business owners are more preoccupied with comparing the recurring costs than anything else. However, the most important hidden cost of all is the total cost of ownership (TCO). This crucial figure is what ultimately decides how expensive each option is in the longer term, since it provides the most objective and accurate way to compare cloud-based systems with in-house ones. After all, it's often easy to get seduced by low short-term costs even when you could in fact end up spending a lot more in total. On-premise systems typically cost a one-time fee by way of a lifetime license of one-off purchase. However, there is the additional cost of upgrading your systems to take into consideration as well, so the TCO will be heavily influenced by the frequency of major system upgrades. By contrast, cloud computing demands a monthly subscription fee as the only payment, although this fee may increase over time. A useful way to start is to compare the TCO between cloud-based and in-house systems over a five-, eight- and ten-year lifespan. There is not really any clear winner when it comes to TCO, since it depends heavily on the costs of maintaining in-house hardware and the frequency of upgrades. In other words, if you don't need to upgrade very often, then in-house systems might be cheaper in the longer term.
There are few rules when it comes to choosing between cloud-based and in-house systems, and your company's individual requirements will ultimately dictate the best option available to you. Although cloud computing systems are definitely at the forefront of innovation, larger businesses or those with very specific hardware and software requirements will generally be better off sticking primarily with in-house hardware. However, small businesses with tight budgetary constraints will likely find cloud computing to offer the most practical and affordable option.

Q: How can I append two featureCollections? I need to append two (slightly different) featureCollections that have no features in common: one collection describes polygons of one type, the other a different type with no spatial overlap and I intend to create a single featureCollection to use them to classify an image.
I think the solution might be a saveAll join, but I can't work out how it works (and I might be wrong!)

// Create the primary collection.
var primaryFeatures = ee.FeatureCollection([
  ee.Feature(null, {foo: 0, ID: 'a'}),
  ee.Feature(null, {foo: 1, ID: 'b'}),
  ee.Feature(null, {foo: 1, ID: 'c'}),
  ee.Feature(null, {foo: 2, ID: 'd'}),
]);

// Create the secondary collection.
var secondaryFeatures = ee.FeatureCollection([
  ee.Feature(null, {foo: 1, bar: 1, ID: 'e'}),
  ee.Feature(null, {foo: 3, bar: 1, ID: 'f'}),
  ee.Feature(null, {foo: 2, bar: 2, ID: 'g'}),
  ee.Feature(null, {foo: 2, bar: 3, ID: 'h'}),
]);

// Use an equals filter to specify how the collections match.
var toyFilter = ee.Filter.notEquals({
  leftField: 'ID',
  rightField: 'ID'
});

// Define the join.
var allJoin = ee.Join.saveAll({ matchesKey: 'ID'});

// Apply the join.
var toyJoin = allJoin.apply(primaryFeatures, secondaryFeatures,  toyFilter);

// Print the result.
print('All join toy example:', toyJoin);

I expect a featureCollection with 8 rows and (probably) three columns, but I don't mind if it drops the non-matching columns. I currently get a feature collection with just the secondary features (I think) and the ID in a very strange list format I don't understand.

A: print(primaryFeatures.merge(secondaryFeatures));

This produces FeatureCollection (8 elements, 3 columns), with both of the inputs and none of the features altered in any way.

It was opened in 1967[1] and is named after Sir John Vanbrugh, designer of Castle Howard.[3]
In 2013 'Green Vanbrugh' was established. This group was created to increase awareness of the environmental issues within the college and to promote involvement from college members.[citation needed]
Buildings and services
The College is home to the History and History of Art departments, Language and Linguistics and Music together with some 2100 undergraduates and 180 graduate students.
The main college building, three storeys high and constructed in the 1960s in the CLASP system, consists of four blocks arranged within a square. The western, northern and eastern blocks are known, respectively, as A, B and C blocks, all of which were residential blocks when the college opened in 1968. The southern side, often known as the teaching block, contains offices for the History and History of Art departments plus two lecture theatres. It was also the base for the Mathematics department until the early 2000s. C Block also houses a Computing Service computer room, V058, previously known in abbreviated form as "vuft" when it belonged to the Computer Science department.
In addition, social space located in an extension off the teaching block includes a dining hall, V-bar, JCR, SCR, a Porter's Lodge and a corridor known as Vanbrugh Stalls, which takes its name from the frequent society and ticket-selling stalls that are set up there.[citation needed]

A further building to the west contains offices for the Students Union as well as Your:Books, the Students' Union second hand book store. Now called Grimston House, it was originally known as X Block. University buildings are named by their college or building name initial and then a block letter. As the fourth block in Vanbrugh, this would have been known as VD block. The University decided to call it VX instead. This was in part as the building, when viewed from above, was X-shaped. The building underwent major alterations in 1999, changing the shape of the east frontage, and was then renamed.[citation needed]
Vanbrugh students also can apply for off-campus accommodation at Fairfax House which is situated on Heslington Road, approximately 10 minutes walk from the main college building, housing approximately 90 students, in addition to around 30 Vanbrugh residents in the hall of residence on Fulford Road, Fulford House.
In 2005 it was decided that half of Block B and all of Block C would be converted into offices. In January 2006, 86 students moved into P and Q blocks of Alcuin College while retaining their membership of Vanbrugh College. These accommodation arrangements were only for the year 2005–2006 while the old Bleachfield site to the north-west of Heslington campus was completed.
Vanbrugh is made up of four main accommodation areas:
Donald Barron and Barbara Scott Courts - named after prominent former members of the university.
Eric Milner-White Court - in 2009, when Goodricke College moved to the Heslington East development, the original Goodricke site was divided between Vanbrugh College and James College. While James College received the old Goodricke nucleus and Cell Block C (Now N Block), Vanbrugh College received Blocks A and B, which were renamed Eric Milner-White court after the Very Reverend Eric Milner-White who died in 1963.[citation needed] From 2011 Wentworth E block was pinned to Eric Milner-White court for Vanbrugh undergraduate use after a renovation of blocks A-D by Wentworth College meant it did not meet postgraduate standard. Wenworth E block is an exact copy of the old Cell Block C, now James N block.[citation needed]
Fairfax House - originally constructed in 1922, Fairfax House was initially accommodation for Nurses working at The Retreat. When acquired by the University, it was merged with Vanbrugh College, and now serves as off-campus accommodation for 90 Students.
Le Page Court - Le page is the oldest accommodation on campus. Used as undergraduate accommodation, the former blocks A and B were renamed when the college let go of its old C block. The name is used in honour of the first Vanbrugh provost, Professor Robert Le Page. In 2012, the top floor of the 3 storey building was reclaimed as offices for the History department.[citation needed]
The paved area between Vanbrugh College and the lake, previously known as Vanbrugh Paradise, was renamed as Greg's Place in 2016 in honour of Greg Dyke who had been university chancellor till 2015.

Main article: University Radio York
Between A and X Block a shed, once used as cleaners cupboard, is used by University Radio York: the first legal independent radio station in the United Kingdom.[4] and which broadcasts radio locally at the 1350AM Radio frequency.
Organisation and administration
The Head of College is the Principal, a university academic who shares teaching duties with college responsibilities. Initially the head of Vanbrugh College was titled Provost, but from 2013 this was changed to Principal.[5] The incumbent principal is Professor Andy Parsons.[2]
There have been five Principals of Vanbrugh College:[6]
Professor Robert Le Page (1967-1972)
Reverend Dr Gerald Higginson (1972-1984)
Dr Allen Warren (1984-2008)
Reverend Dr David Efird (2008-2013) - currently Principal of James College
Dr Barry Thomas (2013-2016)
Professor Andy Parsons (2016-Present) [2]
Student representation
All undergraduate members of Vanbrugh College are members of the Junior Common Room, and continue to remain members throughout their time at the university. The JCR is run by the Junior Common Room Committee (JCRC) which consists of about 38 members. There is additionally a Senior Common Room for the use of postgraduate students.
Volume was a disco-type event run by Vanbrugh JCRC. The event took place in the college bar, JCR and Vanbrugh Hall simultaneously, with each of which playing a different style of music. All areas have a late licence, usually until 1:00 am. Occasionally this is extended until 1:30 am. With a capacity of 600, it is the largest college venue on campus. Volume is the rebranded version of Planet V, which was scrapped at the end of 2007. In 2013, the decision to drop Volume.[citation needed]
However, as of the start of the 2016 Fresher's Week, the JCRC brought back Planet V to huge success, exceeding capacity of over 500. The event has now been set up a termly event and has become a key characteristic of the central college.
