Q: Problem with factorials: find the least n for which (n + 16)!(n+20)! ends with a number of zeros divisible by 2016 I have been working on this problem during the last few days but I can't find a good solution.

A: Number of zeros ended $n!$ gives formula
$$p = \left[\frac{n}{5^1}\right] + \left[\frac{n}{5^2}\right]+... + \left[\frac{n}{5^k}\right]$$
At first check $n=4040$:
$$\left[\frac{4040}{5^1}\right] + \left[\frac{4040}{5^2}\right]+ \left[\frac{4040}{5^3}\right]+ \left[\frac{4040}{5^4}\right]+ \left[\frac{4040}{5^5}\right]=808+161+32+6+1=1008$$
and $n+4=4044$:
$$\left[\frac{4044}{5^1}\right] + \left[\frac{4044}{5^2}\right]+ \left[\frac{4044}{5^3}\right]+ \left[\frac{4044}{5^4}\right]+ \left[\frac{4044}{5^5}\right]=808+161+32+6+1=1008.$$
For $n=4024$ product $(n+16)!\cdot (n+20)!=4040!\cdot 4044!$ ends with a 2016  zeros

A character's class is what defines his or her basic play style, the type of weapon they use, and what armor they wear. In WildStar Online, players can choose from one of several classes when building their game characters, and all classes can play up to two different roles.
Three of the classes - Engineer, Stalker, and Warrior - can perform the DPS and Tank roles. The other three - Medic, Esper and Spellslinger - can perform the DPS and Healer roles.
The class you chose can directly affect the race you have to pick from, as not all races can play every class. In fact, the only races that can are Cassian and Human. If you are hoping to play a diabolical sword swingin' hamster, sorry...... not gonna happen. Chua can be neither warriors or stalkers.

Drug Use During Battle – Stories of soldiers using drugs to fight battles
High Supply News November 11, 2021
Today is Remembrance Day. It is a time where we pay respect to those who have fought and died for our freedoms. We look back at the horrors of the wars that have passed, in awe of the bravery and endurance of each soldier. Surviving through such extreme circumstances seems nearly impossible… It's no wonder that drugs have made it onto the battlefield. The history and stories of drug use during battle should never be lost to history. In most cases, the substances were issued by the army. This Remembrance Day, we are taking a deeper look at the history and stories behind drug use during battle.
Smoking Weed in Vietnam
Next to the War in Iraq, the conflict in Vietnam was America's longest war. Many civilians were drafted and ended up fighting when they didn't want to be. Although drug use was not sanctioned by the military, it was prevalent throughout stationed forces. Despite being discouraged, cannabis use was especially popular; to the point where soldiers would use their guns to smoke weed. Anyone caught using cannabis was punished using non-judicial punishments.
According to one study, "From 1967–1971, the proportion of troops having used marijuana peaked at 34% before stabilizing to 18%, while the number of troops who had used cannabis prior to deployment stayed around 8%".
Russo-Japanese War Interesting Story of Drug Use During Battle
The Russo-Japanese War lasted from 1904-1905 and was said to be lost because of Vodka. The Russian army had conscripted the majority of their soldiers, who responded by getting drunk on the battlefield. The Russians expected a quick victory, but thanks to widespread drinking, suffered an embarrassing defeat. According to one Russian newspaper, "The Japanese found several thousand Russian soldiers so dead drunk they were able to bayonet them like so many pigs."
Japanese soldiers encounter a Russian soldier during the Russo-Japanese War – 1904
Did you know that the classic cocktail 'gin and tonic' has a military origin story? During the 17th century, the Spanish learned about the natural medicine in the cinchona tree. Quecha Tribesmen would grind the bark to help stop fever-related chills and shivering. By 1869, companies were manufacturing soda water and added the bark to create tonic water. This combination was the ideal choice for colonizing forces in foreign lands. The active ingredient within the cinchona tree is quinine, which can be used to prevent malaria. For a soldier, a gin and tonic was a dose of liquid courage with the added benefit of malaria protection.
Don't light three smokes on a match
Tobacco has always been a part of a soldier's rations because it's considered to be a morale booster. However, smoking cigarettes can get you killed on the battlefield. There's an old saying from World War 1, 'Don't light three smokes on a match'. The superstition surrounding the 'third man' on the match was essentially about marksmanship. The belief was that when the first soldier struck the match to light the first smoke, the enemy would see it. Lighting the second smoke would give the enemy sniper time to take aim and the third would give them time to fire.
Soldiers today approach tobacco a bit differently. Most won't risk lighting a match in the first place and instead use chewing tobacco.
No "third man" on this match! "A Wounded Canadian enjoys a cigarette on his way from captured Boche Trenches. August, 1917."

Have you ever heard the expression 'going berserk'? Did you know that it refers to Viking warriors battling high on mushrooms?
Before going into battle, Vikings known as Berserkers' used to eat hallucinogenic mushrooms. Amanita Muscaria mushrooms grow naturally in the areas that the Vikings used to roam. These mushrooms are known for increasing energy, stamina and causing hallucinations. To a Viking Berserker, mushrooms before combat would not only help with headspace, it would increase physical performance. An ax-swinging Viking tweaking hard on mushrooms… Imagine being on a battlefield and seeing that coming at you!
Aimo Allan Koivunen Story of Survival with Drug Use During Battle
Aimo was a Finnish soldier during World War 2. He was assigned to a ski patrol unit and given the task of safeguarding the army-issued methamphetamine for the group. Three days into the assignment, the unit was attacked by Soviet soldiers but Aimo Koivunen managed to escape. In order to survive, he knew he would have to ski for a long distance but didn't have the energy. While trying to shake out a single pill, he emptied the bottle into his palm and decided to take them all.
According to Aimo Koivunen, he had quick bursts of energy but fell into a state of delirium. He remembered waking up the next morning all alone in the wilderness, without any supplies. For a week, he ate pine buds and managed to evade Soviet forces. He caught a single bird and ate it raw. He skied over 400 km to get to safety. When he was found and taken to a hospital, his heartbeat was measured at 200 BPM and he weighed under 95lbs. Aimo Koivunen made a full recovery and lived to the age of 71. He survived the first documented overdose of methamphetamine during the war.
These stories of drug use during battle give us an insight about tough life of soldiers. On behalf of everyone here at the Cannabis Life Network, we would like to express our sincere gratitude and deep respect to all past and present serving men and women. Your sacrifice will always be appreciated and never forgotten. Thank you for fighting for our freedom.

The 1965–66 season was Colchester United's 24th season in their history and their first back in the fourth tier of English football, the Fourth Division, following relegation the previous season. Alongside competing in the Fourth Division, the club also participated in the FA Cup and the League Cup.

Colchester were immediately promoted back to the Third Division after ending the season in fourth position. Queens Park Rangers handed Colchester another early FA Cup exit following a replay, while Middlesbrough knocked the U's out of the League Cup in the second round.

Season overview
Neil Franklin brought in forward Reg Stratton to lead the line for the new season and he responded with 18 league goals and 21 in total. They won ten times on their travels, setting a new club record, while losing just three times at Layer Road. After leading the Fourth Division table across Easter, subsequent defeats to promotion rivals Darlington on two occasions and Torquay United saw Colchester drop to fourth position ahead of the final game of the season. A 2–1 defeat to Newport County left fans awaiting the result of Luton Town's game with Chester with Luton just one point behind and the game kicking off 15-minutes later than the U's fixture. The game finished 1–1 with Colchester, Luton, and Tranmere Rovers all tied on 56 points. Goal average would separate the sides, with Franklin's side pipping Tranmere to the final promotion spot by 0.08.

As the club did four years prior, the U's bounced back from the Fourth Division at the first attempt. The season was also notable as player replacements were allowed for the first time. Ray Price became Colchester's first substitute when he came on to replace the injured Ted Phillips after 85-minutes of their 2–0 home win over Rochdale on 18 September.

Demise of a Legend – The Lebanese Medical Sector
Opinion by Jean AbiNader
On June 7 in an interview with The National, the Lebanese Minister of Health, Dr. Firas Abiad remarked that "Lebanon's healthcare sector [is] a bomb waiting to explode." Healthcare workers were reaching a breaking point, lashing out at doctors and administrators, going on strike, and emigrating out of Lebanon. Six months later, nothing has changed for the better. The government is an average of 22 months bn its payments to doctors and hospitals alike, owing close to $2 billion to those institutions. More than half of the country's professional healthcare staff have chosen to emigrate, if they have not done so already, seeking better earnings so that they may feed their families and send their children to school.
This has been the situation since the Beirut Port blast and the economic implosion that has left Lebanon dependent on international aid and remittances from overseas. Even if the government begins a process of paying its arrears, most hospitals are refusing to admit patients knowing that the country is bankrupt and neither the availability nor affordability of medical care will change soon.
As an article in Cureus commented, "Currently, Lebanon remains in the depth of political and socioeconomic uncertainties. A tense political state ready to erupt into chaos at any moment, a continuously failing economy, and a relatively staggering COVID-19 morbidity and mortality rates have all left the country's healthcare system in limbo."
Cureus reports that "The shortage in medical supplies including medications, non-invasive therapy (NIH) machinery, nebulizers, dialysis machines, surgical kits, vital sign monitors, and oxygen tanks has left the healthcare system paralyzed as it attempts to fight against both a pandemic and a fragile economy. Even with the international donations that the country received over the past months, the lack of fuel and electricity renders supplies like NIH useless at homes, thus resulting in exacerbation and decompensation of chronic cardiopulmonary cases." Even at ATFL, we are once again receiving requests for even the most basic medications and medical equipment. Basic cancer treatments and specialty medicines are almost impossible and as the world's attention turns elsewhere, there are few options for those who are suffering or their families.
It is ironic that in 2018, Bloomberg ranked Lebanon as 23rd in the world, after Sweden, in healthcare efficiency. I remember Jordan and Egypt trying to expand their medical facilities during the civil war in Lebanon in order to replicate the success of Lebanon's medical tourism. Both countries did not wind up succeeding, as Lebanon's patient care and expertise were unrivaled in the region. Just four year later, however, Lebanon's healthcare system is now on life support. As Al-Monitor pointed out, "Lebanon's health-care sector is fighting for survival amid an economic collapse, with the lives of patients at risk as critical care facilities have been falling apart and for the majority of the population affording essential medicine has become a luxury."
This challenge will not just fade away. "It is not only the medical staff who are in crisis. An economic depression is leading large numbers of health workers to quit for better opportunities abroad, forcing medical centers to close departments and turn away the needy." What part of the population can afford to travel abroad for medical care? Certainly not those whose deposits are being held by the commercial banks, nor is it those who have felt the dramatic drop in the value of the lira, are unable to find even common medications in mostly empty pharmacies, and are unable to procure medications abroad.
Stopping the brain drain and restoring credibility and effectiveness to the public health care sector will require the Lebanese government to grapple with the IMF reforms that will give the country a chance to breathe again, which will not be achieved with the printing of more Lira. Lebanon is in disarray, and the Lebanese emigrant community is ready to help beyond the level of providing medicines and equipment. As the head of the Lebanese Order of Physicians made clear, "The health sector suffers from challenges that we may not be able to get out of unless efforts are combined, and we move quickly to save what can be saved, as the sector is on the verge of collapse in light of the emigration of the veteran generation of doctors in search of a decent life and lost dignity."
At ATFL, we are looking at alternatives for assisting the public health sector by focusing on primary healthcare centers as the first line of defense in supporting the Lebanese people. We are working with Lebanese-American doctors and healthcare professionals to craft a strategy that we hope will attract necessary US government support and contribute to a gradual strengthening of the sector. We are not giving up; too much is at stake.

Turnover of UK's leading takeaways rises 10% in just a year to £2.7bn
Top 100 takeaway profits up 13% compared to fall of 64% for restaurant groups
Delivery apps have different impact on takeaways from restaurants
The UK's takeaway food sector has avoided the turmoil buffeting the restaurant sector shows research by Funding Options, the online business finance supermarket.
Funding Options research shows that the turnover of the UK's Top 100 takeaways has risen 10% in just a year, up to £2.7bn* from £2.46bn.
Profits at the UK's top takeaway businesses have also increased over the same time, rising 13% to £180m from £160m. This contrasts sharply with the Top 100 UK restaurant groups, whose profits fell 64% to £125m from £345m over the last year**.
80 of the Top 100 takeaways were profitable last year, compared to just 65 of the Top 100 restaurant groups**.
The turnover of the UK's Top 100 takeaways rose 10% last year to £2.7bn, while profit rose 13% to £180m from £160m
The struggles of the UK restaurant sector are in part down to the simultaneous overexpansion of a larger number of private equity backed chains, many of which took on expensive property overheads. The oversaturation of the market has coincided with rising business rates, increased supplier and staff costs and weak consumer spending. As a result, many major chains such as Byron and Prezzo have been forced to close large numbers of branches.
Takeaways typically take smaller, non-prime, and therefore far cheaper property overheads.
Impact of delivery apps differs for restaurants and takeaways
Funding Options also explains that the recent boom in delivery apps has had a radically different impact on the fortunes of restaurants and takeaways. Whilst for takeaways they have increased overall sales, for restaurants they have had a much more mixed impact, as app-based sales have restricted the higher-margin alcohol sales which restaurants often depend on.
Funding Options adds that the growth of takeaways has been helped by their ability to quickly respond to changing market trends, such as the increasing popularity of vegetarianism and veganism in the UK. Whilst some takeaways have added healthier options to their menus, there has also been a growing number of specifically health-focussed takeaways, such as Chop'd.
Conrad Ford, CEO of Funding Options (www.fundingoptions.com) says: "Takeaways have been more resilient than more upmarket restaurant in the face of the post-Brexit vote slowdown in consumer spending. Takeaway owners have also been more cautious about taking on potentially ruinously expensive property costs."
"Takeaways have quickly adapted to changing trends in the food industry – moving quickly into higher margin healthy food. They have also been able to capitalise on the rising popularity of newer apps like Just Eat and Deliveroo."
Funding Options says that for the success of the UK's takeaway sector to continue, owners must have ready access to vital finance get them off the ground. Many of these takeaways begin as small operations who struggle to access bank lending that can help give them a kick start. Conrad Ford says:
"If we want to maintain a healthy takeaway sector, business owners need the funding to get going – and to succeed."

I get many questions about finish solutions for a newly installed product. Just today I fielded an inquiry about how to seal up and enhance the looks of a fire escape I installed earlier this year. It was a bargain job, with Yellawood and a cedar railing system, but for the moment, it still looks sharp. The trick here, even with a relatively inexpensive product like treated lumber is to maximize the life of the product to ensure proper return on the investment.
I've been out of the deck "building" game since the days of CCA. No money made on that thing, but I don't want the owner feeling like the money hasn't been properly spent either. Consultations were in order.
I went to Sherwin Williams. There's a fellow over at my local store that I worked with in college for a time. He's spent eighteen years since selling paint and protectants, and I'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about. My inquiry, in this case, was to the effectiveness of the products he offered to bring some color to that treated lumber and simultaneously protect the integrity of the wood. He went over the basics, such as using an oil-based application with some tint. Even a little tint is better than an untinted application in terms of durability of the coating, because it assists in blocking the damaging rays of the sun.

Yeah, sun…I'm calling you out. Sure, you heat the earth and provide it all possibilities necessary for life, but you're also messing up these decks. So, please invest in a bit of tint if you want to preserve the coloration. Trading off a little darkening initially can best preserve the coloration of your hardwoods, if this is the look that is desired.
Others want the natural coloration some of our hardwoods provide through the natural weathering process. Our customers who elect to naturally weather their hardwood installations aren't making a bad choice at all. However, there will be a little loss of the effective life of the deck. If we're talking about a thirty year product, giving up a year or so of life isn't that big a deal when weighed against the increased maintenance of keeping the product more deeply colored.
I consider end sealers to be non-negotiable when building any outdoor project with our tropical hardwoods. If you like nearly guaranteed splitting of an unacceptable portion of your lumber, feel free to skip sealing the ends. It's time consuming, yes…but in most climates it simply has to be done. Perhaps in the future we could look more closely at the various end sealants, but the most important thing is to simply be neat about it, especially if the face surface is to naturally weather.
There are sealants of all types heading this way as we speak. Some Messmer's UV+ is on the way. I'm rounding up all kinds of products our customers have used through the years. We'll test finishes starting this winter. I don't know how much the artificial wear will enlighten me to the durability of these finishes. However, there needs to be a starting point, and this is one of the winter projects for Specialty Lumber Solutions. We're getting to the bottom of this. At least as a representative of what can happen in Kansas winters when a guy chains up several sticks of wood to the back of his truck and drives around 40 acres.


From your experience what are the chances of the female holding full term after 5 days?? I've had couple spawn, but none have held pass 3 days.
If they make it 7 days, I'd strip and tumble if you want to build the colony.
Different fish develope at amazingly different rates. My synodontis petricolas spawned at night and the next day the eggs were hatched and freeswimming, the reason I mention this is for best results on stripping early,there needs to at least be a head and tail showing when you take them from the mother .
That's for the input fellas.
Wow that was fast... Do you happen to know what day will they develop the head and tail?? I tried searching for eggs stages but couldn't find any.
Usually I wait at least 10-14 days to ensure good fry survival from seasoned adult petros. If u hv a tumbler and ready for the trials/tribulations/success/risk than 3 days can be a start for tumbling (as long as eggs were properly inoculated).
Here is a paper on fish development (not specific for petros but fish are fish..).

It's been a long summer for Chuck Olson.
Since Blue Bell pulled its ice cream from store freezers in April because of listeria contamination, the Missouri City fan has deeply missed the Brenham-made treat. He's not alone.
Blue Bell is returning to the Houston area Monday, with Homemade Vanilla, Dutch Chocolate and Cookies 'n Cream among the first flavors to roll off the trucks.
"I want to be there when they open those doors," Olson said. "I'm going to walk right in and buy my Blue Bell and take it home."
Olson has gone through Blue Bell withdrawal before. In the '90s, he and his family moved to New York for a few years, and they missed Blue Bell so much they once transported 82 half-gallons of it across the country.
"We rented a U-Haul, we put in dry ice, and we filled it up with Blue Bell ice cream," Olson recalled. "We smuggled Blue Bell from Houston to New York."
Those 82 cartons lasted five or six months for his family of six. "It was a sad day when we hit that last one."
We asked Olson and other area Blue Bell fans to share their memories.
Blue Bell memory: (When the Olsons brought their 82 half-gallons to New York, they became stingy with their supply.) We had a neighbor come over and he said, "It's OK … ." I said, "You can't have any more. I'm not going to waste it." It's something we've laughed about for years.
Guilty pleasure while it was unavailable: I've tried sherbet, I've tried candy bars, Popsicles, and everything has fallen so short; it's disappointing. Everything is a poor substitute.
Blue Bell memory: Every Sunday night, I would buy a pint of Blue Bell Cookies 'n Cream ice cream and eat the entire container in one sitting. And don't ask me to share because I won't!
Guilty pleasure while it was unavailable: I'm against cheating on Blue Bell, so I have not touched any other brand of ice cream. But I've definitely been eating lots of M&Ms while I have been patiently waiting for its return. I'm really just ready for Blue Bell to come back home to my freezer.
Blue Bell memory: My husband, Mike, and I have either run or participated for many years in the Blue Bell Fun Run, which is held in early April. A lot of the proceeds benefit our junior high and high school sports teams, and it's always fun to see the kids and coaches volunteering along the way. My own kids were out there, too, when they were in school. My most memorable race was in 1979, when I was pregnant with our daughter Kelly. I was as sick as could be, nauseated the whole time. But it was OK afterward because you could have all the Blue Bell snacks you wanted.
Guilty pleasure while it was unavailable: We took it as a sign that we needed to cut back, so we tried to diet. We made ice cream just twice all summer.
Blue Bell memory: When I was a young kid growing up, it was real popular to try to make our own ice cream. We did it, and it was very good, especially on a hot afternoon. But it just never compared (to Blue Bell).
Guilty pleasure while it was unavailable: Definitely it was H-E-B ice cream. I tried it, and I've been satisfied. But if Blue Bell is back, I'll grab some.
Favorite flavor: Mocha Madness. I'm absolutely crazy about it.
Blue Bell memory: Homemade Vanilla was my comfort, my little treat for myself, after my husband died.
Guilty pleasure while it was unavailable: About three weeks ago, I discovered Kroger's Private Selections Café con Leche. But before that, I really didn't eat that much ice cream, and I missed it. Thank God for Sid Bass (the billionaire oilman who became a partner in Blue Bell, allowing it to return to production). I thought, that is so wonderful. Hallelujah.
Favorite flavor: Mint Chocolate Chip, but Vanilla Bean is a close second.
Blue Bell memory: When my family first moved to Houston from Los Angeles, I hand-delivered invitations to our housewarming party to all of our neighbors within a three-block radius. Roughly 80 people showed up. I think they were trying to help us learn Texas traditions, and many of them brought Blue Bell ice cream as gifts. We ended up with a dozen gallons, which was great for dessert; two-thirds of it was eaten that night, and we had leftovers for the rest of the week.
Guilty pleasure when it was unavailable: Dark chocolate and Yogurtland. I like to eat my ice cream straight up. Whenever a girlfriend has a really tough day or our kids are driving us crazy, we like to turn on trash television, open a bottle of wine and get the Blue Bell out.
Favorite flavor: I'm a Cookies 'n Cream man. Typically, I'll survey the shelf to see what's new and different. I'll pick up anything that looks tasty, plus a pint of Cookies 'n Cream. Always a pint of Cookies 'n Cream.
Blue Bell memory: I remember when Blue Bell came to North Texas when I was a little boy. Back then, the Natural Vanilla Bean was probably five ingredients, and it was a big deal when it was first available in stores. It tasted unlike the syrupy sweet vanilla ice creams I was used to eating. The subtler taste made eating ice cream feel sophisticated. And, just like any good Texan, I was filled with pride that this deliciousness came from my home state.
Guilty pleasure while it was unavailable: Visiting the two pre-recall, unopened pints of Blue Bell living in my freezer (Butter Crunch and Cookies 'n Cream). They're holding a place for the post-recall pints.

From Greenfield, Mass. to Columbus, Georgia, home of the "School of the Americas," Project Unspeakable readings are underway.
Greenfield RECORDER – Tuesday, November 19, 2013
Page 1 Local theater piece questions assassinations
By RICHIE DAVIS Recorder Staff
A half-century after the assassination, a majority of Americans still say they believe the murder of President John F. Kennedy was the result of a conspiracy.
Theories abound as to who did it and how the 35th president was killed in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. But a 2008 book that postulates a detailed explanation of a plot to assassinate JFK has convinced a Wendell playwright and a group of other Franklin County residents to mount a series of readings and other productions beginning on the 50th anniversary, around the region and around the country.
Based on James Douglass' book, "JFK and The Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why it Matters," local peace activist and actor Court Dorsey's "Project Unspeakable" alleges a close coordination and involvement in the assassination by the nation's intelligence and military apparatus. Douglass says the agencies saw Kennedy's push to end the Cold War, as well as the pacifism of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leaders the Rev. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X as threats to the establishment.
Public readings are scheduled for Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. in Leverett Elementary School and Arms Library in Shelburne Falls as well as the Northampton Friends Quaker Meeting House. The dramatic readings, along with readings in Boston, Portland, Ore., Gallup, N.M., Birmingham, Ala,, and Vancouver, B.C., will be followed by discussion. A reading in Orange — as well as in other locations around the country — are planned for the future.
The 560-page book by the 76-yearold Christian theologian, who presented a workshop a year ago at Rowe Conference Center, argues that Kennedy was assassinated for bucking the very military-industrial complex his White House predecessor had warned of. Although Dorsey's two-hour play doesn't attempt to present evidence of who carried out the four assassinations, in 1963, 1965 and 1968, it does emphasize questions, suggested by quotes from its more than 125 characters — from President Dwight Eisenhower to Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev — all portrayed by 12 readers.
"It's a way to initiate discussion and break the silence that surrounds these assassinations and the role of official forces in them," says Dorsey, who spent eight months researching and writing the 100-page script, with help from Stephen Wangh, an author of "The Laramie Project" about the 1998 Matthew Shepard murder. "People don't want to talk about it. It seems too scary, too threatening, too unnerving to think this thing could really happen," But, Dorsey said, "Just the fact that people will say, … 'Do you really think that,' or 'I'm not a conspiracy theorist,' it's already beginning the process and the discussion."
'Conspiracy theorists?'
Launching the idea for a dramatization inspired by Douglas's book, following last year's Rowe workshop, has drawn the project's collaborators into the controversy that persists a half-century after the assassination that the official Warren Commission tried to lay to rest in 1964. The panel, chaired by JFK nemesis and former CIA director Allen Dulles, ruled that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in firing three shots from a window of the Texas School Book depository, where he worked. Oswald had had a litany of paradoxical swings between pro-Communist and anti-Communist associations, including defection to the Soviet Union and jobs for the FBI and CIA after his return and in the months leading up to the assassination, according to Douglass' book.
Randy Kehler of Colrain, a longtime peace activist who is among the project's six-member steering committee involved in fundraising, promoting, and coordinating independent dramatic readings of the script, says, the reaction of people has reflected just how loaded a subject it is for many people.
"We're encountering people we didn't imagine would really be excited by this who want to run with it. There are also people, including some close friends, who were almost hostile. One head of a peace group, a liberal guy, said, 'If we get involved, are we going to be called 'conspiracy theorists?' They've done such a good job denigrating anybody who questions this as a nut case. It's too threatening to think we live with a government that would do such things."
When Kehler — who will be participating in a Nov. 22 reading with Dorsey and Douglass in Columbus, Ga., the home of the Army's controversial "School of the Americas" — told the book's author about those reactions, Douglass laughed.,"I told you: This is the unspeakable!"
An Associated Press poll this spring found that 59 percent of Americans think multiple people were involved in a conspiracy to kill JFK, down from 75 percent a decade ago. Even Secretary of State John Kerry told NBC recently, that he still harbors "serious doubts that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. … I have serious questions about whether they got to the bottom of Lee Harvey Oswald's time and influence from Cuba and Russia."
Kehler says he understands people who react, "With all the things we have to deal with, why would we spend any time on this?"
But he responds, "There's something liberating about the truth. And what we're trying to say here isn't just about the '60s," although Kehler — who spent time in federal prison for protesting the Vietnam War and has campaigned vigorously for nuclear disarmament and for campaign finance reform — believes an "unspeakable" complicity of American intelligence agencies in the JFK, RFK, King and Malcolm X assassinations is "a pattern that continues today … not in the same way, with assassinations of American leaders, but with the secrecies, the lies, and covert activity. How do we solve anything that we're up against today if we have major elements of our government that are completely out of view of the public, of the Congress, of the media that's unaccountable in any democratic way."
Dorsey points to the lack of public outrage at recent revelations about the National Security Agency tapping the phone conversations of leaders of allied nations as "a direct outgrowth" ignoring the kinds of connections and question that Douglass raises in his book.
Says Kehler: "The point is to raise questions, to encourage people to start talking and to bring this subject out of the shadows and out of the silence … Its almost an act of faith, a faith in the value of truth and the potential for something good to come out of this.

What does "Open CLL" mean? How does it differ from "Open GLL"? How does each affect the setup and function of Libre Office?
There's no "Open GLL" or "Open CLL".
OpenGL is an API for drawing on screen that allows to draw more efficiently if hardware and software (graphic drivers) support that mode. With some combinations of drivers/videocards, it may give glitches in rendering.
OpenCL is doing some computations using not CPU, but graphic card processor. In LibreOffice, it only may be used by Calc for some formulas, to offload CPU and increase speed of calculations.
Thank you, Mr. Kaganski. I was mistaken typing "CLL" and "GLL" but don't know how to edit. Your answer is helpful.


I'm Jem and this is my patreon page, I'm an Australian YouTuber and I just want the chance to prove to my viewers and myself, that I can create something amazing. I recently got inspired to start making short films, and music videos on my channel. I really want to be able to do this full time because I want to share my ideas for films, random thoughts, and stupid problems with the world.
I've been thinking about making this page for a while now. The truth is I'm not very popular, and I don't really care about that, but I would really like the chance to make something amazing with your help.

Q: What's the best way to dynamically generate a where clause? I am writing a stored procedure that works with a heavy select statement. The stored procedure takes in about 15 parameters to act as a filter, all of which are NULLable.
There are two things the parameters generally do - check if x is between high and low or check if column value is in y.
My main concern is how I write the where clause.
Example: Dynamic SQL is notoriously slow, so I don't want to write the where clause and then pass it to exec.
I don't want to do if High = null then High = max because then I'll still have a between statement that takes up processing power and has no use.
I don't want to do an (if High = null or X <= High) because the null check would still be processed for every row and I heard rumors that would mess with indexes.
In short, I'm looking for guidance in the best practice that takes performance into account.

A: Dynamic SQL used to be slow because execution plans for dynamically generated SQL weren't cached.  This is no longer the case and execution plans for dynamic SQL queries will be cached as long as the query text is identical.  This means that you should:

*

*Use parameters to avoid your parameter values altering the query text

*Try to sort your where clauses so that they appear in the same order

As long as you do this then your query plans should be cached (one for each possible query variation) and dynamic SQL won't be any slower than any normal query.

Your other suggestions (setting various parameters to NULL) is to be avoided and may in fact perform quite badly - statements can only have one cached query plan, however the optimal query plan will depend on the parameters and may be very different depending on the values supplied.
For example one set of parameters might result in most of the table being returned, in which case a table scan might be optimal.  Another set of parameters might result in a single row being returned in which case a row lookup might be optimal.  SQL Server must choose to cache one of these two plans (probably the most optimal one based on the parameters supplied the first time the query is run), however whatever plan it chooses the query will probably perform badly in the opposite scenario.  (this is an over simplification, however I have seen variations of this happen and it can have a very significant performance impact).
Ultimately this will mean that either:

*

*Most of the time the query plan chosen probably wont be optimal, or

*You can force SQL Server to generate a new plan for each execution which always results in a reasonable execution plan, however eliminates the advantages of plan caching

The other disadvantage of your alternative aproaches is that it will result in a more complex query, which can make it difficult for the query optimiser to optimise the query properly.
For these reasons I'd say that dynamic SQL is definitely the better choice.

A: If you use dynamic SQL with placeholders for the parameters instead of incorporating the parameters in the statement, and bind the parameters when you open the cursor, the statement can be cached and won't be slow.
From below comment: There will not be so many (yes, potentially 2 ^ 15 but in practice many fewer, perhaps more like 2 ^ 4 are used commonly) combinations of present and missing parameters; these can be cached. If the actual parameter values are included in the WHERE clause (which I've seen done), each query is unique and won't be cached.

A: One technique for dealing with a check for nullity in a where clause expression is to do something like this:
declare @myParameter int

select *
from dbo.foo t
where t.someColumn = coalesce( @myParameter , t.someColumn )

The optimizer can still use an index on t.someColumn and you avoid the OR operator (which is what usually bolluxes up the use of an index.
That's one thing to look at.
Another thing: I had to do the same thing in a previous job. The problem with coding it up naively is that you're likely to get poor performance for any one of a number of reasons:

*

*If the 1st query executed is executed with what you might describe as "non-standard" parameters, the cached execution plan is likely to perform poorly for more ordinary cases.

*With all those variables, the optimizer may select a query plan that's dialed in for a parameter that may not even be used most of the time.

*the list goes on...
What I wound up doing, was to instrument the stored procedure, log how it was being called. Once I had some baseline data, a little analysis showed me the 4 or 5 most common ways it was being used.
That allowed me to put add scenarios for each of these most common ways, so 90% of the callers got great performance, most of the rest got OK performance, and there was once special case that we couldn't do anything with (unless the DBAs were willing to recluster some of the tables involved in the selection...which seemed unlikely).
Also, you should assign the stored procedure parameters to local variables within the stored procedure. If you don't, the parameters passed affect how the execution plan is cached. By doing this, the value of the parameter becomes an expression and no longer affect the cachin of execution plans.
Further, be mindful of stored procedure recompilation. In a busy system, recompiles can have a deleterious effect on performance. If a stored procedure gets recompiled one or more times on every stored procedure call, the recompilation takes out compile locks that (A) prevent others from executing the stored procedure until the recompilation is complete, and (B) lock the various resources/dependencies involved in recompilation. In a busy system, your DBA is unlikely to look with favor on blocking.
Here's MSDN on Execution Plan Caching and Reuse
Hope this helps.

Rashi's commentary is an indispensable part of a person's daily studies. His explanation of Chumash, the first five books of the Torah, clarifies the "simple" meaning of the text so that a bright child of five could understand it. At the same time, it is the crucial foundation of some of the most profound legal analysis and mystical discourses that came after it.

Joyce Carole Ray
Joyce Carole Ray, affectionately known as Sissy, daughter of the late James E. Ray Sr. and the late Clara Robinson Ray, was born July 24, 1944, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. On Tuesday, March 10, 2020, in her 75th year, she peacefully passed from life. Joyce received her formal education at William Penn High School and went on to achieve a Master of Arts, American Studies, from Penn State University, a Bachelor of Arts from Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and an Associate in Arts from Harrisburg Area Community College. Joyce's career took her from a key punch operator in the mid 70's to a systems analyst at retirement. Throughout her career, she was employed by Amp Inc. (now Tyco), Wachovia Bank (now Wells Fargo), Dauphin Deposit Bank & Trust Company and the City of Harrisburg where she retired in 2010. Joyce had a passion for literature, classical music, education/learning and her family. She provided support and resources to countless family members at many times of need. One of many fond memories was when she baked cakes for many of her great-nieces and great-nephews to let them know how much she cared and had time for them. She spent time volunteering to help people learn to read because she firmly believed in the power of an education and the value and importance of literacy. Joyce was also quite the handy-woman and had a knack for purchasing disrepair properties and revitalizing them in the Harrisburg area. Joyce was such an inspiration and always made time for everyone. Along with her parents, Joyce was also preceded in death by five brothers, James E. Ray Jr., Quentin R. Ray, Jerome O. Ray, Warren W. Ray, Arthur E. Ray; and three sisters, Betty J. Maynard, Vivian J. Pittman and Clara J. Tate. Joyce will be missed and always cherished by her daughters, Yvette C. Washington of Columbia, Maryland, Yvonne (Darrel) C. Evans of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; son, Kirk C. Walker Jr. of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; grandchildren, Jazmyn S. Evans of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Paige E. Walker of Atlanta, Georgia, Tristan N. Washington of College Park, Maryland, Tyler N. Washington of Columbia, Maryland, Jarrel C. Evans of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; great-grandson, Amore M. Evans-Barnes of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; sister, Kathlyn J. Herring of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; other family members and friends. Loving memories will forever be cherished in the hearts of Joyce's loved ones! Memorial donations may be made to Tri-County OIC, 500 Maclay Street, Harrisburg, PA 17110

It seems everything lately it is all about this move and my humans following their dream. Camping for over two months in the trailer, not sure how much I am going to like this dream of theirs. Of course I like the trailer better than when we sleep in a tent. There is carpet, cushions, a bed and soft blankets in the trailer. Then moving to a place that has all that wet stuff. No one asked me for my input on this move.
Every time I turn around they have moved something or I see them take it out to the truck. My favorite chair and sofa, they are no longer in the house. I hear strange things about this is going to "long term" or "short term" storage. What is this apartment me thing they are talking about? Will it have a backyard for me to chase squirrels and other creatures out of? What about all that wet stuff, they know I don't like getting my paws wet.
Then we are camping for two months, visiting national parks. Which aren't very dog friendly I have read. Yes, I read over my human mom's shoulder. So what are they going to do with me while they are exploring this unfriendly dog place? Most importantly when are they going to start cooking steak again. I love chicken but it's been too long, I need steak.
I will report back to you on this move and camping trip. As long as I get to be with my humans I think this adventure will be okay, plus they will not be working for 2 to 3 months. Which means I get to be spoiled with lots of walks and attention. Maybe once we get in the trailer we can have some steak, since mom doesn't want to stink up the house before we move. Yes, camping with steaks on the BBQ, long walks sniffing new smells and naps with my humans, that is my kind of adventure.

Many news and political organizations have commented about the contradictory nature of public opinion about the federal deficit: The public wants to reduce public spending, but does not want less of what the government provides. Much of the public, for example, wants the government to do as much as it's currently doing — or more — to protect the environment, reduce poverty, prevent terrorism and maintain a robust defense.
One crucial part of the solution to this conundrum is for government to become more productive. In our work with federal agencies on their top managerial challenges, as well as with government institutions around the world, we have found that they can improve their productivity and performance by making disciplined operational changes. We estimate that improving productivity could save the U.S. government up to $134 billion over the next 10 years — while maintaining or improving output, customer service and workforce satisfaction.
Achieving a higher level of productivity requires a clear mandate and support from the top and good performance metrics. It also, importantly, requires the involvement and engagement of federal employees. Talented, capable and committed to their organizations' missions, federal employees often have great insight into how to improve productivity and performance.
As only one example, we recently worked with a team of employees to help a large federal department improve its productivity in one of its major activities — processing certain financial applications. In the aftermath of the financial crisis, the volume of applications had tripled even as the production staff had declined, leading to dramatic increases in response times for customers. We worked with regional managers and frontline personnel to identify how the department could apply "lean management" principles and tools to improve both productivity and the work environment. The team improved communication between managers and their staffs, worked with headquarters to eliminate unnecessary steps in their process, and identified skill-building opportunities at all levels. In the sites where the department has implemented recommendations, productivity is increasing dramatically.
* Provide more coaching and training to frontline managers and employees, so they develop the skills and capabilities to do their jobs more productively.
* Develop a culture that encourages innovation and constructive dissent by employees.
* Create more two-way dialogue between the agency's center and its frontline, since inefficient rules and processes are often generated because of mistrust between the two.
* Involve frontline managers and employees in productivity initiatives.
Examples like the one above illustrate that the government can achieve better outcomes without spending more money — a result that politicians of all stripes and even an ambivalent public can support.
