Q: Filter duplicate rows based on a field I have several records (bills) that are basically duplicates of each other, except for one field, which represents the language that bill is in.
For example:
ID,BillID,Account,Name,Amount,Lang
1,0001,abcd,John Smith,10.99,ENG
2,0002,qwer,Jane Doe,9.99,ENG
3,0001,abcd,John Smith,10.99,SPA
4,0003,abcd,John Smith,4.99,CHI

All fields are strings, except ID, which is an autonumber.
In my SQL select, I have
SELECT *
FROM Bills
WHERE Account='abcd'

and it returns 3 rows in total, but 2 rows for the same bill. I need to return unique bills for a specific account. So in the scenario above, I want to retrieve 2 bills with billID 0003 and either SPA or ENG version of 0001, but not both.
What would by query be?
Thank you
EDIT: I cannot rely on a specific language always being there. For example, I cannot say SELECT * FROM Bills WHERE Account='abcd' AND Lang='ENG' because sometimes a bill may be only in one language, which is not ENG, and sometimes may be in several languages in any combination.

A:  select
 BillID,Account,Name,Amount,max(Lang)
 FROM Bills
 WHERE Account='abcd'
 group by BillID,Account,Name,Amount;

Same as user2407394 except without the ID in the groupby, since that would return 3 too.

A: Probably the easiest way would be to use ROW_NUMBER and PARTITION BY
SELECT * FROM (
   SELECT b.*,
   ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY BillID ORDER BY Lang) as num
   FROM Bills b
   WHERE Account = 'abcd'
) tbl
WHERE num = 1

A: select
ID,BillID,Account,Name,Amount,max(Lang)
FROM Bills
WHERE Account='abcd'
group by BillID,Account,Name,Amount;

Given that you are not giving priority to any specific language if there is same bill in multiple languages. The above query will work perfect.
EDIT : Removed "ID" from group by. @Phil You are right..!!

A: Use SELECT DISTINCT keyword to get different values
SELECT DISTINCT ID,BillID,Account,Name,Amount,Lang
FROM Bills;
You will get different values.

Паровой котёл — котёл, предназначенный для генерации насыщенного или перегретого пара. Может использовать энергию топлива, сжигаемого в своей топке, электрическую энергию (электрический паровой котёл) или утилизировать теплоту, выделяющуюся в других установках (котлы-утилизаторы).

История
Первым котлом для производства пара можно считать котёл геронова эолипила (I в. н. э.). Дени Папен в конце XVII в. изобрёл и впервые применил предохранительный клапан. Практически значимое применение паровых котлов начинается с конденсационного насоса Томаса Севери, изобретённого в XVIII в., и атмосферной машины Ньюкомена.

Ранние котлы с малой поверхностью обогрева

Котёл машины Ньюкомена представлял собой сосуд формы, близкой к шарообразной, диаметром около трёх метров (10 футов), с выпуклым изнутри днищем, образовывавшим свод топки. Таким образом, днище котла обогревалось пламенем и излучением, а боковые стенки — горячими продуктами горения, проходившими по каналам кирпичной обмуровки. Уже в этом котле, таким образом, можно найти радиационные и конвекционные поверхности теплообмена. Машина Ньюкомена использовала насыщенный пар под атмосферным давлением, ни большой паропроизводительности, ни прочности от котла не требовалось, и он изготовлялся из меди. Котёл оснащался выпускным краном и предохранительным клапаном.

Уатт, подняв давление пара в своих машинах до 1,5 атм. и более, перешёл к коробчатым котлам, стянутым внутри для противодействия распору. Для удешевления котлы стали производить из железа. Обогревались они по-прежнему снаружи.

Котлы с жаровыми трубами

Для увеличения поверхности обогрева и, соответственно, паропроизводительности, котлы стали пронизывать одной («корнваллийские котлы», Тревитик, 1815) или двумя и тремя («ланкаширские котлы», Фейрберн, 1845) широкими жаровыми трубами, увеличивая поверхность теплообмена. Рост давления до 6 атм. и более привёл к переходу на цилиндрические котлы, склёпанные из листового железа. Малоуглеродистая пластичная сталь (сталь 1) позволяла успешно справляться с локальными перегревами. Отвод продуктов горения из жаровых труб под котлом позволял получить дополнительную кипятильную поверхность и поднять паропроизводительность, отвод над котлом — несколько подсушить и перегреть насыщенный пар. Котлы ланкаширского типа, с горизонтальными и вертикальными жаровыми трубами, активно применялись более 100 лет, и изредка до сих пор применяются в маломощных силовых и паропроизводящих установках. Разновидностью корнваллийского котла вертикального типа можно считать самовар.

Котлы с дымогарными трубами
Котлы с многочисленными узкими дымогарными трубами разработаны для первых успешных паровозов, первым был спроектированный Бутом котёл с 20-ю трубами для паровоза Стефенсона «Ракета». Для паровоза «Планета» Стефенсон применил усовершенствованный котёл, в котором вода окружала и топку, таким образом, использовалась не только конвекционная, но и радиационная поверхность обогрева, паропроизводительность котла возросла. Без принципиальных изменений котлы со многими дымогарными трубами использовались на паровозах до заката паровой эпохи на железных дорогах.

Устройством в ланкаширском котле тонких дымогарных труб после широких жаровых Стивенс создал тип котла, широко использовавшийся в морских паросиловых установках.

Водотрубные котлы
Дальнейший рост давления в крупных паросиловых установках ограничивался прочностью корпуса котла. Чтобы обойти эту проблему, а также развить поверхность обогрева ещё сильнее, были изобретены водотрубные котлы барабанного типа. В них парообразование происходит в трубах, омываемых потоком горячих газов (конвекционная поверхность) или обогреваемых излучением пламени в топке (радиационная поверхность). Большой цилиндрический корпус уступает место одному или нескольким небольшим барабанам, в которых вода отделяется от пара. Циркуляция в котле происходит либо естественно, за счёт разности удельных весов воды в опускных трубах и водо-паровой смеси в подъёмных, либо искусственно, при помощи насосов. При давлениях до 30 атм. применяются сварные барабаны толщиной стенки , для более высоких давлений — цельнотянутые барабаны. При этом в стальной цилиндрической заготовке на прессе прошивают центральное отверстие, а затем, также на прессах, расковывают барабан толщиной стенки  и более. Концы барабана суживают до размеров люков обслуживания. Трубы используются бесшовные.

В котлах появляются пароперегреватели (чтобы избежать конденсации пара в турбине при его расширении и охлаждении), а в конце дымового хода устанавливают экономайзеры для подогрева питательной воды.

Типов барабанных водотрубных котлов множество (завода Бабкок и Вилькокс с одним барабаном, многобарабанные модификации котлов Стерлинга, котлы Ла Монта с принудительной циркуляцией и др.)

Прямоточные котлы
Являются дальнейшим развитием водотрубных котлов с принудительной циркуляцией, когда от многократной циркуляции отказались вовсе: питательная вода входит в котёл под рабочим давлением, создаваемым насосом, и по мере прохождения по трубам нагревается и полностью испаряется. Система обладает высокими удельными характеристиками, но требует насоса высокого давления и совершенной системы водоподготовки, поскольку не имеет барабанов, в которых обычно оседают грязь и накипь.

Теория котла

Основными технико-экономическими показателями работы котла являются:

 его КПД (отношение теплоты, унесённой с паром, к теплоте, развитой при сжигании топлива),
 удельная паропроизводительность в кг/час с  поверхности теплообмена,
 удельные капитальные затраты на паропроизводительность .

Наиболее наглядно работа котла может быть проанализирована по его рабочей характеристике, которая показывает теплообмен в котле на разных участках его рабочей поверхности. Характеристика показывает, что чем ближе к топке находится квадратный метр поверхности теплообмена, тем больший тепловой поток проходит сквозь неё (поскольку разница температур между газами и водой в котле больше). На участках в конце дымохода, с небольшой разностью температур газов и воды, для получения того же количества теплоты необходимы большие поверхности теплообмена, таким образом, не всегда котёл с наибольшим КПД является экономически наиболее целесообразным: порой желание добрать последние несколько процентов теплоты газов обходится слишком дорого. Поэтому в конце дымоходов устраивают экономайзеры для подогрева питательной воды и воздухоподогреватели, но не дорогостоящие испарительные поверхности.

Классификация
По назначению:
 Энергетические паровые котлы — предназначены для производства пара, использующегося в паровых турбинах.
 Промышленные паровые котлы — вырабатывают пар для технологических нужд, так называемые «промышленные парогенераторы».
 Паровые котлы-утилизаторы — используют для получения пара вторичные энергетические ресурсы — теплоту горячих газов, образующихся в технологическом цикле. Энергетические котлы-утилизаторы в составе ПГУ используют теплоту уходящих газов ГТУ.

По относительному движению теплообменивающихся сред (дымовых газов, воды и пара) паровые котлы могут быть подразделены на две группы:
 газотрубные (жаротрубные, дымогарные) котлы
 водотрубные котлы
Водотрубные котлы по принципу движения воды и пароводяной смеси
подразделяются на:
 барабанные (с  и принудительной циркуляцией: за один проход по испарительным поверхностям испаряется лишь часть воды, остальная возвращается в барабан и проходит поверхности многократно)
 прямоточные (среда между входом и выходом котла движется последовательно, не возвращаясь)
В водотрубных парогенераторах внутри труб движется вода и пароводяная смесь, а дымовые газы омывают трубы снаружи. В России в XX веке преимущественно использовались водотрубные котлы Шухова. В газотрубных, наоборот, внутри труб движутся дымовые газы, а теплоноситель омывает трубы снаружи.

По типу топочных устройств паровой котёл подразделяется на:

 Слоевые топки
 с плотным слоем
 с кипящим слоем
 Камерные топки
 факельные прямоточные
 циклонные.

По виду сжигаемого топлива подразделяются на:

 Паровые котлы, работающие на газообразном топливе.
 Паровые котлы, работающие на твёрдом топливе.
 Паровые котлы, работающие на жидком топливе (мазуте или солярке).
 Паровые котлы, работающие на электрической энергии.

Котлы с камерной конструкцией топки работают на пылевидном топливе, в то время как со слоевой конструкцией сжигают твёрдое топливо.

Параметры котла по возможности подбираются по стандартному ряду. После обозначения по ГОСТ может писаться в скобках заводская марка, например, Е-75-3,9-440БТ (БКЗ-75-39ФБ).

Барабанные котлы

Вода, подаваемая в котёл питательным насосом (например, паровым инжектором), пройдя экономайзер, попадает в барабан (находится вверху котла), из которого под действием силы тяжести (в котлах с естественной циркуляцией) попадает в опускные необогреваемые трубы, а затем в подъёмные обогреваемые, где происходит парообразование (подъёмные и опускные трубы образуют циркуляционный контур). Из-за того, что плотность пароводяной смеси в экранных трубах меньше плотности воды в опускных трубах, пароводяная смесь поднимается по экранным трубам в барабан. В нём происходит разделение пароводяной смеси на пар и воду. Вода заново идёт в опускные трубы, а насыщенный пар уходит в пароперегреватель. В котлах с естественной циркуляцией кратность циркуляции воды по циркуляционному контуру — от 5 до 50 раз. Котлы с принудительной циркуляцией оснащены насосом, который создаёт напор в циркуляционном контуре. Кратность циркуляции составляет 3—10 раз. Котлы с принудительной циркуляцией на территории постсоветского пространства распространения не получили. Барабанные котлы работают при давлении меньше критического.

Прямоточные котлы

Прямоточные котлы не имеют барабана. Через испарительные трубы вода проходит однократно, постепенно превращаясь в пар. Зона, где заканчивается парообразование, называется переходной. После испарительных труб пароводяная смесь (пар) попадает в пароперегреватель. Очень часто прямоточные котлы имеют промежуточный пароперегреватель. Прямоточный котёл является разомкнутой гидравлической системой. Такие котлы работают не только на докритическом, но и на сверхкритическом давлении.

Автоматизация процессов
Котлоагрегат представляет технически сложное устройство. Как многомерный объект он содержит в себе множество систем регулирования. Множество технологических параметров необходимо поддерживать для надёжной и экономичной работы котла. Такими основными параметрами являются:

 Система тепловой нагрузки котлоагрегата:
 процесс горения в топке;
 подачу воздуха в топку котла;
 разрежение в топке;
 Система регулирования температуры перегретого пара;
 Система регулирования питания котлоагрегата.

Система регулирования питания котлоагрегата

Регулирование питания паровых котлов осуществляется следующими образом. Принято, что максимально допустимые отклонения уровня воды барабане ±100 мм от среднего значения. Снижение уровня может привести к нарушениям питания и охлаждения водоподъёмных труб. Повышения уровня может привести к снижению эффективности внутрибарабанных устройств. Перепитка барабана и заброс частиц воды в турбину может явиться причиной тяжёлых механических повреждений её ротора и лопаток.

Схемы регулирования. Исходя из требований к регулированию уровня воды в барабане, автоматический регулятор должен обеспечить постоянство среднего уровня независимо от нагрузки котла и других возмущающих воздействий. В переходных режимах изменение уровня может происходить довольно быстро, поэтому регулятор питания для обеспечения малых отклонений уровня должен поддержать постоянство соотношения расходов питательной воды и пара. Эту задачу выполняет трёхимпульсный регулятор.

Регулятор перемещает клапан при появлении сигнала дисбаланса между расходами питательной воды Дпв и пара Дпп. Кроме того, он воздействует на положение питательного клапана при отклонениях уровня от заданного значения. Такая САР питания, совмещающая принципы регулирования по отклонению и возмущению, получила наибольшее распространение на мощных барабанных котлах.

Регулирование водного режима котлоагрегата

Химический состав воды, циркулирующей в барабанных котлах, оказывает существенное влияние на длительность их безостановочной и безремонтной кампаний. К основным показателям качества котловой воды относятся общее солесодержание и избыток концентрации фосфатов. Поддержание общего солесодержания котловой воды в пределах нормы осуществляется с помощью непрерывной и периодической продувок из барабана в специальные расширители. Потери котловой воды с продувкой пополняются питательной водой в количестве, определяемом уровнем воды в барабане. Регулирование непрерывной продувки осуществляется путём воздействия регулятора на регулирующий клапан на линии продувки. Помимо корректирующего сигнала по солесодержанию, на вход ПИ- регулятор 2 поступает сигнал по расходу продувочной воды Дпр и сигнал по расходу пара Дпп. Сигнал по расходу пара поступает на расходомер 3, электромеханический интегратор которого используется в качестве импульсатора, воздействующего через пусковое устройство 4 на включение и отключение плунжерного фосфатного насоса 6.

Boating, Fishing, and Travel Information for Nantucket, MA
The town of Nantucket is among the prettiest towns on the East Coast. The town is well laid out and has about everything a boater could need or want. There are restaurants galore, starting with pizza and ice cream shops along Water Street and moving up the gourmet scale to The Chanticleer and 21 Federal Street, and the list goes on and on.
The town of Nantucket is well laid out, and it's easy to find about anything you may need. The Stop & Shop market is within a two-minute walk of the boat basin. Among veteran boaters' favorites are the Nantucket Chandlery Marine store located below the in Nantucket Anglers Club the boat basin and Cross Rip Outfitters, a fly fishing store with the best guides (Lynne & Jeff) on the Island.
A visit to Nantucket would not be complete without walking up Main Street to Murray's Clothing store with their famous Nantucket red shorts. They also have an outlet shop a few blocks away.
Nantucket is a 15 or 20-minute plane ride from Hyannis, which provides a wonderful view of the island and Nantucket Sound on a clear day. A cab ride to the center of town costs $15, and most of the cabs are station wagons so there should not be a problem if you bring gear aboard. The taxis are very helpful, which make it easy to get around. There is also limited passenger large service (once daily in each direction) between Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket should you want to visit Oak Bluffs.
There are several bicycle rental shops which rent for a day or week, and some also rent scooters, which are an easy way to get around the area with the exception of Main Street with its cobblestones. You can also arrange for a rental car at the airport should you want to drive around the island and go to some of the South or East facing beaches.
Other modes of transportation include the Nantucket Bus lines, which are reasonable and run quite frequently. The Steamship Authority and Hyline Cruises both leave from Hyannis with several trips a day, and both have regular service and also high-speed catamaran service, which takes one hour from Hyannis to Nantucket and return.

Anchorage in Nantucket Harbor may be had in depths of 6 to 17 feet off the south and southwest sides of Brant Point or in depths of 12 to 17 feet in the general anchorage south of Brant Point. In general, the bottom is sticky. Although shelter is afforded to vessels it is advisable for small craft to use heavy tackle as the harbor becomes choppy with easterly winds.
Caution should be exercised to avoid anchoring in the fairway and maneuvering area to the ferry wharf or the cable area northeast of Brant Point.
The long sweep of strong northeast winds down the harbor makes anchorage for small craft off the wharves dangerous and uncomfortable. Small craft may find more sheltered anchorage under these conditions in Head of the Harbor (chart 13241) or, with local knowledge, in Polpis Harbor (chart 13241).
Launch service is available to craft at moorings or at anchor in the harbor.
The town-owned pier/dinghy dock has free dinghy tie-up as well as showers and ice available.
Moorings and dockage are available from Nantucket Moorings and Nantucket Boat Basin in Nantucket Harbor. It's best to call ahead to reserve space here. In season, it's often all filled.
The Nantucket Harbormaster
can also help direct you or answer any questions that you might have about the harbor.
Nantucket Boat Basin, on the west side of Nantucket Harbor, is entered about 0.4 mile south-southwestward of Brant Point Light. The basin is enclosed on the north and south sides by Straight Wharf and Commercial Wharf, respectively, and its entrance is protected by two long bulkheads on the east and southeast sides. Depths in the basin range from 3 to 10 feet. About 240 slips are available in the basin, and yachts 100 feet long and larger can be accommodated.
The outer end of the north side of Straight Wharf is used by excursion boats. A private seasonal light is shown off the end of the wharf and is operated only when tour boats are approaching the wharf in fog. Gasoline, diesel fuel, and ice can be obtained on the south side of Commercial Wharf. Water and electricity are available at each slip.
The basin's dockmaster has his office on the outer end of Commercial Wharf. The dockmaster can be contacted on VHF-FM channel 16.
A boatyard, about 0.2 mile southward of Nantucket Boat Basin, has moorings, gasoline, a 23-ton mobile hoist, storage facilities, water, and marine supplies; hull and engine repairs can be made. The channel leading to the boatyard, marked by private seasonal buoys, has a controlling depth of 6 feet.
Gray Lady Marine is just beyond the Boat Basin, and the staff will be very helpful should you need assistance. Glenn's Marine works on outboards, as does Madaket Marine.
Just beyond the boat basin is the town pier, which generally takes smaller vessels, and you can tie up for short time.
Tides and Currents
The mean range of tide at Nantucket Harbor is 3 feet. The tidal current off the entrance has a velocity of 0.3 knot; the flood setting eastward and the ebb westward. The tidal current in the entrance channel sets into the harbor at a velocity of 1.2 knots and outward on the ebb at a velocity of 1.5 knots.

The entrance to Nantucket Harbor is well marked by the breakwaters on both sides of the channel, and it's very easy to enter under most conditions, although you should be careful as the westerly side of the breakwater is sometimes under water at high tide. Make sure you slow down at the "No Wake'Äù sign near Choate Point, as several people will likely be watching to see who's throwing the big wake.
As you come around Brant Point light, the Inner Harbor will come into view with the mooring field to port and the Nantucket Boat Basin straight ahead. The Boat Basin is generally quite busy during July, August and September, but does take reservations. The Nantucket Yacht Club is North of the Steamship Pier.
Prominent Features
From offshore, prominent features are: a radio tower about 1.2 miles east of Madaket Harbor; a standpipe (chart 13241) about 1.5 miles west of Nantucket; a gilded cupola atop a church clock tower, and a church belfry about 500 yards northwestward of it; the spire of a large white church in the town; and the navigational lights atthe entrance to Nantucket Harbor.
Brant Point Light (41°17'24″N., 70°05'25″W.), 26 feet above the water, is shown from a white cylindrical tower connected to the shore by a footbridge on the west side of the entrance near to the harbor. A fog signal is at the light. Brant Point Coast Guard Station is on the point.
Vessels approaching Nantucket Harbor from Pollock Rip Channel (see chart 13237) can set a direct course from Handkerchief Shoal Buoy 14 (41°29.2'N., 70°05.1'W.) to the lighted bell buoy off the entrance. Approaching from the channel northward of Cross Rip Lighted Horn Buoy 21 (41°26.9'N., 70°17.5'W.), pass to the eastward of Tuckernuck Shoal Lighted Bell Buoy 1, and then head for the lighted bell buoy off the entrance to Nantucket Harbor.
A dredged channel leads from Nantucket Sound to deep water in Nantucket Harbor off Brant Point. The controlling depths were 15 feet to Buoy 9, and 10.7 feet to Brant Point.
Shoal water extends about 1 mile offshore on both sides of the entrance, which is protected by two breakwaters. The breakwaters are partially submerged at half tide. The east breakwater is submerged for almost all its length. An opening for small craft is in the east breakwater about 300 yards off Coatue Point. A light and fog signal mark the outer end of the east breakwater, and a buoy marks the outer end of the west breakwater.
A lighted bell buoy about 900 yards off the breakwater light marks the approach, and the channel is marked by a 162° lighted range and buoys.
A 6-mph speed limit is enforced in the harbor.

The scenic Soon Valley is located between Kallar & Khushab. Being a part of Salt Range, the valley has its traces back to ancient times. The main tribe of the valley is Awan, which still doniates the region.
We drive from Islamabad to Kallar Kahar and after making a detour to visit Ketas Huindu Temple, we drive to Padhrar and further towards Sakesar. Sakesar is the highest peak in the Salt Range and occupied by Air Force.
The picturesque valley is known for its vast saline water lake and fruits, exclusively Citrus. The valley produces high quality Malta and several other fruits. A camp night at Kanhatti Gardens and visit of Khabeki and Uchali lakes would be memorable.

NRCM Deeply Concerned About LePage's Environmental Proposals
Posted on February 7, 2011 by NRCM
by Jon Olsen, Coastal Journal contributor
Coastal Journal news story
AUGUSTA — Less than a week after the conference called by Natural Resources Council of Maine (NRCM) to meet with Governor Paul LePage, a meeting attended by some 500 people at the Augusta Civic Center, reported in the Coastal Journal January 26, Phase I of the Governor's Regulatory Reform Proposals was issued. In general, a review of cumbersome, obsolete, and simply bureaucratic laws and regulations is to be welcomed. Streamlining government is an idea that is politically neutral. The issue then becomes "what are the details, and what values lie behind the proposed changes?" Last week, it appeared that the 28 speakers and LePage were generally holding congruent viewpoints, in view of their respectful remarks, as well as his own concluding the event.
However, the proposals just issued sent shock waves through the staff of NRCM. When asked for a comment, the organization e-mailed this general viewpoint:
"The Governor stated to 500 Maine citizens on January 20 that he believes in "real, strong environmental laws", and yet 72 hours later he released a draconian set of proposals that would gut Maine's environmental protections – protections that have been enacted with strong bipartisan support. This is a full-out attack on Maine's clean air, clean water and the health of our families. It also undermines our economy, which relies on the health of our natural resources," wrote Lisa Pohlmann, Executive Director, Natural Resources Council of Maine.
Some changes proposed by Gov. LePage appear to be quite common sense and uncontroversial. For example:
• Create a Small Business Ombudsman in the Department of Economic and Community Developent to help businesses navigate regulatory processes.
• Adopt a standard for rulemaking requiring rules to be predicated on valid science and clarity of language.
• Eliminate significant hurdles to beneficial reuse of materials that would otherwise be classified as a waste by DEP (Department of Environmental Protection).
But the majority of the changes, according to NRCM, would 'weaken or eliminate':
• Rule to restrict the use of the toxic chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) in baby bottles, sippy cups, water bottles, and reusable food containers
• Clean air law to reduce sulphur dioxide pollution, and associated asthma attacks, acid rain, and poor visibilty due to haze
• Law to create transparent process for indentifying candidate products for producer-financed collection and recycling programs.
• Maine's Kid-Safe Products Act -identifies and phases out the 'worst of the worst's toxic chemicals in everyday products that threaten children's health.
• Law to replace bromated flame retardant with safer alternatives.
• Law to prevent sprawl and protect Maine's community character by requiring certain large scale developments to conduct economic-impact analysis on local communities.
• Several laws relating to safe collection and disposal/recycling of products using mercury, such as some light bulbs, thermostats, automobile switches, and dental amalgrams. In this regard, the current fishing regulations (2010-2012) Dept. of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife booklet, states, specifically referencing mercury "Pregnant and nursing women, women who may get pregnant, and children under age eight SHOULD NOT EAT ANY FRESHWATER fish from Maine's inland waters. Except for brook trout and landlocked salmon, 1 meal per month is safe. All other adults and children older than eight CAN EAT two freshwater fish meals per month. For brook trout and landlocked salmon, the limit is one meal per week." This is generic advice. Some bodies of water cited in the booklet are more toxic to the point of earning a "no consumption" recommendation. Regulations being proposed would weaken laws for mercury disposal.
Besides these quite specific proposed laws and regulations changes, more sweeping changes are likewise proposed, according to the NRCM analysis:
• Removes all environmental standards for new permitting under the Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC).
• Rezones at least 3 million acres of Maine's North Woods for development.
• Scraps the current LURC Comprehensive Land Use Plan which is intended to guide development in the North Woods.
• Require every proposed development to be rushed through for a permit in 30 days, a pace that would overload DEP staff, make it difficult to ensure that the proposal meets legal standards, or to allow for adequate citizen input.
• Eliminate Maine's right to choose its own environmental safeguards by prohibiting stricter standards than federal standards.

Today was a tougher one. It took me a long time to set my sights on doing something. I was hedging, and I knew it. I'm in the thick of the waiting game, where you've handed over control to your steering committee and you have to sit back and wait for opportunity. That's a tough place to put yourself, but it's important. I guess it's about what you do with that time. I was slow out of the gate this morning, but when I finally got out of the house I was able to focus on Picasso's Black Canvas. I'm approaching a second edit, and I want to shift it drastically from where it sits right now, which is Verbatim based on research from the 3MV program, to a blended piece flowing between verbatim and spoken word (both found and originally written). I've had ideas for a while as to how it might work, but I hadn't sat down to see what's possible. It felt good to go through the first section and see that the things I've been thinking about might work. I'm so lucky to be in a bubble right now with time to create, time that I've already set aside to focus on craft. I'm in a good frame of mind to tackle this edit, and I'm so lucky to have the space to do it. And it will in turn make the waiting game into something else completely, which has it's own value.
At least I have a job!! Grateful for that.


I was having a little browse on one of my favourite print sources last night, and thought I'd share my favourite prints from Society6. For those of you who haven't heard of it before, it's an incredible platform for thousands of independent artists around the world to sell their work.
Its long been my go-to place for quirky prints, cool cushions & homeware as it's a great source to find cool designs that not everyone else will have in their home. I even tried to sell my own work on there, back in my uni days…. I sold 1 print!
I'm pretty sure it was my mum who bought the A4 sized print of my shite digital drawing, but it's kinda cool to think if it wasn't my dear, ol' mum, one person out there in the world has a one-off, original print hanging on their wall by moi!
Below are some of my favourite finds on Society6. if you haven't checked the site out before then it's definitely worth a look if you still haven't found the right print, cushion or even curtains for your room yet!
Honestly I spent a good hour & a half on there last night….happy browsing folks!
This one has popped up on Pinterest a few times, I adore its simplicity and will definitely be purchasing it soon.
I've discovered I have a thing for pink recently….& this ticks all the boxes. Pink, quirky, animal related...it's my new favourite print. I have no idea why I love it so much, but I do! It needs to be mine.
I've liked this print for a while now but I have never got round to purchasing it. I think this would be the perfect addition for our spare room gallery wall.
There is something I love about black & white prints, this one really caught my eye. In our bedroom we have black & white prints & a few pops of bright pink to lift the scheme, so I could see this one being a great addition.
Cats! I bloody love cats. My friend bought a similar print to this one in Sweden which I've had my eye on/ secretly wanted to steal from her house! So this would be a suitable alternative to trying to nab hers on my next visit!
I like the punchy yellow, & positive messaging. A bit of luck wouldn't go a miss at the moment… positive vibes & all that! So this may need to be a future purchase too.
I once bought this print on a t.shirt & it honestly made me happy every time I wore it! So, I can definitely see us purchasing this print for le kitchen!
Neon sign, pink, cake…. what more do I need to say! This would also feature in our kitchen gallery wall of prints. James still needs convincing that our rented home needs a gallery wall/ numerous holes drilled to hang them all…but I'm working on convincing him!
Do you see a theme? Pink & bold, moody b&w or animal themed! I definitely have a like for certain types of print right now.
I would say I have eclectic taste when it comes to prints. But as I wander around our home, staring at our artwork – it makes me happy. So whether it's a whimsical animal, abstract print or an erupting pink volcano like above, you can be sure it's cheering me up every time I see it.
We have a thing with bears in our house! An ongoing joke that has gone too far, and one that I keep fuelling! I'm not even sure what started it, but during mine & James' relationship, bear related things have now taken over our home!
Every time I see something bear related I'm immediately drawn to it, so now our home is filled with bear related items. This one above is the next, silly addition that might make it into our collection!
Again, I apologise. Whimsical animals & silly human-like behaviour override any sense of interior style I have! My tastes change from lusting after sophisticated decor to…. whimsical animal prints, for reasons unknown – I'm a sucker for them! This otter will one day hang in our bathroom!
And last but not least, a calming, pink seascape. I find being by the sea so calming, so looking at images of water is the next best thing. Another pastel pink print for my growing collection! A colour I never seem to wear & have strongly disliked in the past, yet inexplicably drawn to when it comes to decorating our home.
So, that's it. A random selection of mostly pink or animal themed prints I've loving from Society6! The good thing about the site, is there are so many artists/ designs to choose from on there .I guess, the beauty is that no two people would be drawn to the exact same selection of prints, or be drawn to them for the same reasons…well you might but that would be super spooky if you too are drawn to the exact same pink/ quirky animal related prints as me… twinning!
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below, what prints do you find yourself drawn to? Or let me know if you've found any awesome artists on Society6 you like or think I might like too. Happy print hunting peeps, thanks for reading!
I'm so happy you made this list. I love Society 6, but they have so many prints to choose from! I love that pink lion, I wish I could have it in our room! And that otter would be perfect for a kid's bathroom!
I am so glad you made this post! I love Society 6 but they have sooo many prints to look through. The otter would be super cute for a baby's room or bathroom. And I really like that lion!

When it comes to corporate taxes, mutual fund managers and manufacturers enjoy a special status in Massachusetts.
Maybe not for much longer.
A coalition of several major employers is pushing state lawmakers to spread the love. At issue is a wonky-sounding prize known as "single-sales factor" apportionment. The mutual funds and manufacturers already have the tax benefit, estimated to be worth more than $200 million for those sectors alone. Plenty of other businesses have long envied them for it.
It can be a touchy topic at the State House. Critics will inevitably decry this as yet another giveaway to big corporations — especially coming after the massive tax cut they received from Congress in late 2017.
This new coalition sent a letter on Dec. 30 asking Beacon Hill leaders to extend the single-sales factor to all industries in the state. The letter was addressed to the co-chairmen of the revenue committee and was also sent to several other top legislators, including House Speaker Bob DeLeo and Senate President Karen Spilka.
Corporate taxes in Massachusetts are typically determined by three factors for employers that have operations in multiple states: their in-state payroll and properties, and their sales to customers here. That system, the coalition says, puts competitors based in Massachusetts at a competitive disadvantage. They're essentially penalized, the argument goes, for having sizable operations here. Better, they say, to calculate the taxes on in-state sales alone.
The list of companies that signed this letter is varied, intentionally so: retailers BJ's Wholesale Club and TJX, financial giants State Street and BNY Mellon, Spanish banking giant Santander, money manager Eaton Vance, and travel website operator TripAdvisor. (BNY Mellon is based in New York, but it has large operations in Boston and Everett, and Santander's US operation is based in Boston.)
This debate dates back to 1995, when Raytheon threatened to move jobs out of state if it didn't get the single-sales tax break. Eventually, Raytheon got what it wanted from the Legislature, but the measure was broadened to include other manufacturers. Then, Fidelity Investments and other fund managers won the break as well.
This new coalition notes in its letter many states that compete with Massachusetts for businesses have switched to the single-sales factor in recent years, including New York, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The letter describes the shift as a "conscious policy decision . . . to more fairly balance the tax burden between in-state employers and out-of-state employers."
Jared Walczak, an analyst at the nonprofit Tax Foundation, said the once-traditional three-factor apportionment is dying off, with only five states using it exclusively for most industries at this point. Instead, he said, 23 states and the District of Columbia use the single-sales factor, and other states are moving in that direction. Is it time for Massachusetts to join the crowd?
Executives at Needham-based TripAdvisor sure seem to think so. Spokesman Brian Hoyt said a move to single-sales for all industries would put local companies on an equal footing with rivals based elsewhere. A move to single-sales, he said, could encourage local employers to invest more here and possibly attract new companies to the state.
As a mutual fund manager, Eaton Vance already benefits from the break, to some extent. But a significant portion of the company's revenue comes from products that aren't mutual funds and is thus taxed with the three-factor system. Spokeswoman Robyn Tice said Eaton Vance supports extending single-sales to all because it will streamline the state's tax system and balance the tax burden between in-state and out-of-state employers.
Associated Industries of Massachusetts began a lobbying effort a year ago for a bill that would give companies the option to choose between the single-factor and three-factor approaches. The revenue committee discussed the bill in a public hearing last June, and it remains before that committee today.
Eileen McAnneny, president of the business-backed Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, said the single-sales switch has been a hot topic of conversation for a working group that Spilka assembled to look at various tax policies. Governor Charlie Baker has supported the switch in the past, McAnneny said, and Spilka has shown a willingness to consider it.
So what's the downside? In a word: money. There's widespread agreement that the move to single-sales will result in lost tax revenue for the state. How much is an open question.
The left-leaning Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center previously estimated that the breaks for mutual-fund companies and manufacturers cost the state $224 million in fiscal 2018 alone. Kurt Wise, a tax policy analyst at the Boston-based think tank, said the shift to single sales has been proven, in state after state, to be a money-loser.
Wise doesn't buy the argument it will stoke economic development. Taken together, he said, the mutual fund and manufacturing industries have shed tens of thousands of jobs in Massachusetts during the 20-plus years they've benefited from the tax break.
But state lawmakers may decide it's ultimately a fairer approach, rather than continuing to play favorites.

The courtyards are home to a number of small shops and cafes, and it's fun to walk around for a bit. The rest of the Neustadt area is also very nice, with many alternative shops, lots of street art and all kinds of cafes, bars and restaurants.
How lovely – a musical building!
Well now I think I need to go to Germany. This is really cool!!!
I like a lot the atmosphere of the picture, and regarding the courtyard, it seems a fantastic idea although I don't know if it rains a lot in Dresden as to be worried for "excessive" watermusic!!

HomeRotary resourcesEntrepreneurship, Jobs, and Skills
Growing local economies is one of six areas of focus of the Rotary Foundation. In order to promote economic development, whether locally or nationally, entrepreneurship, jobs, and skills are key. This page provides links to selected open access World Bank publications on those topics. The hope is that these resources will be useful to Rotarians and others working on economic development. The focus is on books published since 2010 as opposed to working papers, journal articles, and briefs. The publications were selected as a resource for participants at the 2016 Rotary Presidential Conference on Economic Development in Cape Town, South Africa. A paper including abstracts and pictures for the selected publications is available on the Blog Series page of this blog.
The World Bank publications listed below cover eight main areas as follows: Entrepreneurship and employment for women; Entrepreneurship and employment for youth; Regional and country studies on entrepreneurship; Jobs and labor markets; Business climate; Jobs during the crisis and in fragile contexts; Skills for the workforce; and finally Entrepreneurship education.
Please note that this compilation of recent publications is provided as a service to Rotarians and others working on these areas without any endorsement of the World Bank as to which publications should be featured.

US Military Leader Predicts War's End With Bleak Omen
Poland's defense minister says that No decision was made on the supply of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. at a meeting of the Kyiv allies, even though he remains optimistic that the ports to provide them will be successful.
"The hope comes from… the defense ministers of 15 countries met today on the sidelines of the conference and talked about this issue," Mariusz Blaszczak said in dialogue with journalists at a US base in Germany.
"I am convinced that the coalition building will end successfully," he said in closing, Al Jazeera learned.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski shakes hands with Polish Defense Minister and Deputy Minister Mariusz Blaszczak.
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency met with the President of Ukraine to share an update on the nuclear watchdog's work at various nuclear power plants across the war-torn country.
Rafael Mariano Grossi told Zelensky that he wants to establish a security buffer zone around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. The latter, because the Russians fired repeatedly at the plant in recent months.
"This major nuclear power plant continues to face daily dangers. Our team continues to hear explosions near the site, including two on Thursday," said the IAEA chief, reported the American media CNBC.
According to Dutch Defense Minister
The Netherlands will supply Ukraine with air defense systems, according to a letter from Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren to the Dutch House of Representatives, the news organization NOS reported and the Ukrainian outlet The Kyiv Independent replied.

Russia's Wagner paramilitary group denies recruiting Serbs to fight in Ukraine, a day after activists filed criminal complaints against the organization in Belgrade. Among the names in the complaints were Russia's ambassador to Serbia, Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko, and Aleksandar Vulin, head of Serbia's State Security and Information Agency.
"Not to recruit Serbs," Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin said in a statement, adding that he had never heard of Botsan-Kharchenko or Vulin. Earlier this week, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic called on the mercenary group to stop all its efforts to recruit Serbs to fight in the war. Al Jazeera.

New York City's Metropolitan Opera will mark a full year of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine with a memorial concert for war victims. The information was anticipated by the Ukrainian media The Kyiv Independent.
Ukraine Will Receive All The Help it Needs
The president of the United States affirmed that "Ukraine will receive all the help it needs" in response to a reporter's question about whether or not Biden supports Poland's intentions to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine, according to the chain.
Two businessmen, one Russian and one British, were charged with helping to hide the $90 million yacht of sanctioned Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg, the US Department of Justice said and the Kyiv Independent reported.
"The crews of the heavy armory systems are already training and the tanker trucks will arrive soon," anticipated the Ukrainian ambassador to the United Kingdom, Vadym Prystaiko, during an interview with Radio Free Europe.
United States Army General and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, gave a press conference last Friday after a meeting with officials from the Ministry of Defense, in which they discussed the war between Russia and Ukraine. After the meeting, the military launched a strong forecast for the year 2023 and began to talk about the end of the war.
The military reference came to make it clear – emphatically – that "From a military point of view, it is very difficult or almost impossible for Ukraine to expel Russian forces from every inch occupied by Russia." Along these lines, he remarked: "What I think can happen is that the Ukrainian army outlines a continuous defense on the front that prevents Putin from continuing to take territories."
From the Ramstein air base in Germany, the US Army general also referred to the conclusion of the conflict and anticipated: "There is no chance that the war will end on the battlefield. For me, like many other wars in the past, it will end at a kind of bargaining table. And both Russia and Ukraine are going to have to give up something."
A former US Navy SEAL, who deserted from the military in 2019, was killed in eastern Ukraine while fighting alongside Ukrainian forces, officials told several student media outlets. The information was replicated by The Kyiv Independent.

What's The Value Of Scientific Research?

Keeping track of e-mail messages to and from people associated with your business can be a daunting task, and when you lose track of messages, you can lose sales opportunities, too. To address this, Business Contact Manager for Outlook turns a business record into a virtual e-mail inbox by enabling you to link e-mail messages to it.
This article describes how to link individual e-mail messages to Business Contact Manager for Outlook records and how to set up E-mail Linking and Tracking to automatically link messages to records, including Business Projects.
Important: If there are multiple users of your database, any user with access to the database can see linked e-mail messages.
You can link e-mail messages to Account and Business Contact record types, and to Business Projects. And then, with a few clicks, you can view the messages that are linked to the record.
When you link Business Contacts and Business Projects to an Account, you can also view the e-mail messages that are linked to each Business Contact and Business Project in the communication history of the Account record.
The E-mail Linking and Tracking feature enables you to automatically link and track e-mail messages from your Accounts and Business Contacts, read old ones, and even review the messages you have sent to them. You can also automatically link e-mail messages by subject to Business Projects.
The e-mail messages that you link to an Account, Business Contact, or Business Project record stay in Outlook. The e-mail messages are also listed in the communication history of the record, and the Communication History folder of Business Contact Manager for Outlook.
Four KB of the message is stored in the Business Contact Manager database, so that you still have access to all or part of the message, even if it is deleted from Outlook. If the original message was larger than 4 KB, you will only have access to part of the message if it is deleted from Outlook.
In Outlook, click or open the e-mail message that you want to link to a record.
On the Ribbon, in the Business group, click Link to Record.
In the Link to Business Contact Manager record dialog box, in the Item Type list, click the type of record that you want to find.
Note: If you choose an Opportunity record, the e-mail message is actually linked to the Account or Business Contact of the Opportunity record.
In the list of records, click a record.
If you want to link the item to more than one record, select those records.
Under Linked Records, click Link To.
The records you selected are listed in the Link To box.
To see the e-mail messages that are linked to a record, open the record, and then click the History tab.
The e-mail messages, as well as any other communication history items that are linked to the record are listed.
For information about other communication history items, see Track your communications with customers in Business Contact Manager.
From the time you enable E-mail Linking and Tracking, any new e-mail messages to or from selected e-mail addresses are automatically linked to records.
You can also search for past e-mail messages and link them to records, too.
The messages appear in the communication history of the record that contains the selected e-mail address.
If you link from an e-mail message, and there is no existing Business Contact Manager for Outlook record that matches the e-mail address, the Linking and Tracking feature creates a new Business Contact record and links the e-mail message to it.
Confirm that you have entered e-mail addresses into your Business Contact Manager for Outlook records.
Click the tab that contains the record that you want, and then double-click the record to open it.
Verify that an e-mail address is listed in the E-mail address field.
Confirm that Outlook is set up to save sent messages to the Sent Items folder.
To easily link and track outgoing messages, save sent messages to your Sent Items folder.
Click Mail, and then scroll to the Save Messages section.
Confirm that the check box next to Save copies of messages in Sent Items folder is selected. If you also want to link and track forwarded messages, verify that the Save forwarded messages check box is selected, too.
To protect your privacy if you share your Business Contact Manager for Outlook database with other users, e-mail messages marked Personal, Private, or Confidential are not linked and tracked.
Click the Business Contact Manager tab, and then click the Manage Linking and Tracking button.
In the Manage Linking and Tracking dialog box, on the E-mail tab, select the check boxes next to the e-mail addresses that you want to link and track.
If a record contains more than one e-mail address, the Account or Business Contact record will be listed more than once.
Clear the check boxes next to any e-mail addresses that you do not want to link and track.
All the folders are selected by default.
Note: If you have any Outlook rules set up to route e-mail messages to different folders, make sure you select those folders on the Folders tab to link and track those messages.
All future e-mail messages to and from the selected addresses in the selected folders are automatically tracked.
You can also set up linking and tracking from an e-mail message. In your Inbox, click or open the e-mail message. On the Ribbon, in the Business group, click Link & Track. In the Link & Track dialog box, select the e-mail addresses, and then click OK. If there is no existing Business Contact Manager for Outlook record that matches the e-mail address, linking the e-mail address creates a Business Contact record.
If you want to link messages that you received before enabling E-mail Linking and Tracking, Business Contact Manager for Outlook can find the messages for you and link them to your Accounts and Business Contacts.
Select the check boxes for any Accounts or Business Contacts whose messages you want to find and link.
Clear the check boxes next to any Accounts or Business Contacts whose past messages you do not want to link.
If you want to specify where Business Contact Manager for Outlook searches for past messages, on the Folders tab, select or clear check boxes next to the folder names.
In the Link Existing E-mail dialog box, if you want to exclude e-mail messages older than a certain date, select the Ignore e-mail older than check box, and then click a date from the calendar.
When search and link is completed, click Close.
If necessary, in the Manage Linking and Tracking dialog box, change your selections for future e-mail messages.
Important: If you click OK in the Manage Linking and Tracking dialog box without changing the selected e-mail addresses and folders, your future e-mail messages will be linked and tracked based on the selections you used for search and link.
In the Manage Linking and Tracking dialog box, click OK.
You can link e-mail messages to a Business Project record based on the subject of the e-mail messages. For more information about Business Project records, see Organize business projects in Business Contact Manager.
Warning: If you link messages to a Business Project and then want to disable linking and tracking, you must disable it for each unique e-mail subject.
For information, see Disable E-mail Linking and Tracking by subject later in this article.
Click or open the e-mail message you want to link to your Business Project record.
On the Ribbon, in the Business group, click Link & Track.
In the Link & Track dialog box, click the E-mail Subject tab.
Select the check box next to the project name that you want to link the e-mail message to.
If you no longer want to automatically link e-mail messages to records, you can disable E-mail Linking and Tracking.
You might want to disable E-mail Linking and Tracking if you share your database with your co-workers, because they can see all linked e-mail messages. To prevent them from seeing only those messages that are already linked, see Delete e-mail messages from a record later in this article.
In the Manage Linking and Tracking dialog box, on both the E-mail and Folders tabs, click the Clear All button to clear all check boxes.
If you want to disable linking and tracking only for certain records, clear those check boxes.
Note: Disabling E-mail Linking and Tracking stops linking any future e-mail messages to your records. If you want to remove e-mail messages that are currently linked to your records, you will need to delete them after you disable E-mail Linking and Tracking. For information, see Delete e-mail messages from a record later in this article.
On the Business Projects tab, double-click the project that you want.
On the Ribbon, in the Show group, click History.
Right-click the e-mail message with the subject that you want to stop linking and tracking, and then click Link & Track.
Disable E-mail Linking and Tracking for Accounts and Business Contacts If necessary, on the E-mail Address tab, click Clear All to stop linking and tracking messages for Accounts and Business Contacts.
Disable E-mail Linking and Tracking for Business Projects Click the E-mail Subject tab, and then click Clear All.
You can disable E-mail Linking and Tracking for only those Business Projects, Accounts, and Business Contacts that are linked to the selected message. To disable linking and tracking for Business Projects, you must disable it for each unique e-mail subject.
When you share a database, you share all the information in the database with everyone who has access to it. If you have set up automatic linking and tracking of your e-mail messages, all existing and future e-mail messages and other communication history items that are linked to your records are available to all users who access the database. For information about sharing a database, see Share your Business Contact Manager data with other users.
If there are multiple users of your database Any user with access to the database can see linked messages and other communication history items.
If you want to prevent your co-workers from accessing linked e-mail messages, but still want to use E-mail Linking and Tracking for future messages, delete the existing messages from the records before you share your database. For more information, see Delete e-mail messages from a record later in this article.
If you do not want your co-workers to have access to future e-mail messages, but want them to have access to past messages, disable linking and tracking before you share your database. See the Disable E-mail Linking and Tracking section earlier in this article.
If you want to prevent your co-workers from accessing all existing and future e-mail messages that are linked to records, disable e-mail linking and tracking and delete e-mail messages from all records before you share your database.
If you are the only person who uses your database, or if you share the database to make a copy of it on your portable computer The security considerations are minimal—such as keeping your password secure. You can safely enable any e-mail address for linking and tracking because no one else can see the messages.
Note: To make a copy of your database to use when you are out of the office, you must first share your Business Contact Manager database—but there is still only one user of the database. For information about making a copy of the database, see Share your Business Contact Manager data with other users.
An e-mail message can be linked to more than one record. When you remove a linked message from one record, it is deleted from the communication history of only that record. If the e-mail message is linked to other records, they are not affected. For example, if an e-mail message is linked to both a Lead and an unrelated Account, deleting the e-mail message from the Lead does not delete the message from the Account record.
Deleting an e-mail message from a record does not delete the e-mail message in Outlook.
On the Ribbon, in the Show group, click the History button.
E-mail messages, as well as any other communication history items that are linked to the record are listed.
To display only the e-mail messages on the History page, on the Ribbon, click the View tab. Click the Item Type button, and then click E-mails.
Select the e-mail messages that you want to delete.
To select records that are adjacent to each other, press the SHIFT key, and then click the first and last records of the group that you want to delete. To select nonadjacent records, press the CTRL key, and then click the individual records.
For more information about deleted records, see Delete Business Contact Manager records.
For information about how to restore deleted items, see Restore a record in Business Contact Manager.
In the Navigation Pane, click the Business Contact Manager button.
Under Business Records, click Communication History.
Click the Item Type column header to sort the list by Item Type.
Select all of the e-mail messages, or select all of the e-mail messages you want to delete.
Right-click the selected e-mail messages, and then click Delete.
