It had sheltered General Gage, land for many acres around had belonged to him. He was an enthusiastic gardener, and imported, among a hundred other fruits and plants, the "Queen Claude" plum from France, which was successfully acclimated on his farm. In New York a plum of that kind is still called a "green gage."
Yet it had been plenteous enough to keep off the "rust," from which the dryer upland plantations were now suffering. Neither the "boll-worm" nor the dreaded "army-worm" had molested the river-fields; so the tall pyramidal plants were thickly set with "squares" and green egg-shaped bolls, smooth and shining as with varnish.
So in South Africa, about the month of April, the Matabeles light huge fires to the windward of their gardens, "their idea being that the smoke, by passing over the crops, will assist the ripening of them." Among the Zulus also "medicine is burned on a fire placed to windward of the garden, the fumigation which the plants in consequence receive being held to improve the crop."
The female I placed on a lemon tree in a shady spot, and the male at the extreme far side to see how soon he would find her. We had supposed it would be dark, but they were well acquainted by dusk. The next morning she was dotting eggs over the plants. The other cocoons produced mostly female living moths, save one that was lost in emergence.
By the middle of the Coal-forest period there was a very large and varied animal population on the land. Like the plants, moreover, these animals were of an intermediate and advancing nature. No bird or butterfly yet flits from tree to tree; no mammal rears its young in the shelter of the ferns.
Give the future American botanist the physical geography of a country its average rain-fall, temperature, etc., and the plant zone in which it lies, and, whether explored or unexplored, he will give us the general character of its vegetation, and name most of the plants and trees peculiar to its soil.
Here too are represented; in the three manners before-mentioned, views and sites of Egypt, Greece, Italy, France, and all other countries; cascades, such as those of TERNI, NARNI, and TIVOLI; sea-pieces; landscapes, parks; and gardens; arabesques after RAPHAEL; new and picturesque plants; in a word, decorations formed of an assemblage of every thing most perfect in art and nature.
At the same time he quite unconsciously and unintentionally stocked the islands with a fine vigorous crop of European weeds, so that the number of kinds of flowering plants included in the modern flora of my little archipelago exceeds, I think, by fully one-half that which I remember before the date of the Portuguese occupation.
The water in the ground dissolves the rock or the loose earth into little particles so fine that the tiny roots, or root hairs, drink them up, and so the rock furnishes a part of the nourishment, or food, of plants. "Without the water that the clouds bring no plant could grow. It gives life and growth to everything that lives, and then sinks deep into the earth.
Of public gardens Seville has many, the prettiest of these being Las Delicias, a walk stretching for nearly a mile along the banks of the river Gudalquivir, and planted with orange-trees, pomegranates, palms, roses, and all kinds of rare plants. This is the Champs Elysées of Seville, and when lit up at night, with innumerable coloured lamps, bears no slight resemblance to them.

Terrazzo Australian Marble understands the kind of commitment and undertaking that goes with renovations as a whole which is why we're giving you a little boost up should you decide you want to do a little renovating yourself starting with the bathroom.
Knowing exactly how much you're able to spend on a bathroom renovation will set the pace throughout your project. Set it and stick to it. However, setting a buffer, say 10 to 20 percent of your total budget is actually a smart move. What this does is allows you to play around with design options whilst not worrying about the maximum spending amount you set.
It's never easy on anyone when there's a renovation happening in the house which is why you have to set a working schedule and timeframe. This is especially true if you're going the DIY route however, if you're having some components done by professionals like the tiling, the partitioning and the plumbing, most contractors can be asked to work on the schedule you set.
Nothing sets back a renovation faster than wrong measurements. When fixtures don't fit, when the plumbing doesn't align, when you run out of tiles and there's still a huge swath of floor that needs to be done, your renovation budget AND schedule will surely take a hit. Measure everything. Ask your contractor or builder to measure everything and then you can compare results. This way you can double check and revisit with the measuring tape if some of the numbers do not match.
Before you even begin to shop for fixtures, or pick out your tiles, settle on an overall design aesthetic for your bathroom. Check what's trending. Scour design and renovation blogs for inspiration. General rule of thumb for bathroom design – keep it minimal. Too many design components can make your bathroom feel cramped. Keep your lines simple, clean and classic.
Terrazzo Australian Marble can give your bathroom a more elegant, classic feel with our terrazzo tiles with a honed anti-slip finish that would not only transform your bathroom but still keep it safe for everyone.
Terrazzo Australian Marble can, more than ever, progressively bring an even wider range of ideas from architects and designers to life.
CNC technology or Computer Numerical Control technology has been around since the 1970's and has been steadily and significantly changing existing manufacturing processes today. In a nutshell, CNC machines are programmed with the required design which then executes and produces the finished creation.
There is almost no limit to what can be achieved with terrazzo and CNC technology; and with future manufacturing advancements the results will soon be endless.
Invented by Venetian mosaic workers in the 15th Century, Terrazzo is a solid surface material which is versatile and can take many forms. Traditionally, you make Terrazzo by putting marble chips into a cement base then ground flat it with a topical sealer. However, modern Terrazzo can be produced using different processes and polished without coating.
Terrazzo is often associated with contemporary design and was very popular in the mid-20th century. It lost popularity in the 70's and 80′ but made a comeback due to demand for solid surface flooring that was easier to maintain. The main difference between Terrazzo and traditional tile flooring is that with Terrazzo there are no grout lines to clean so this alone provides a much healthier environment. Terrazzo is also a more permanent solution for flooring and is widely customizable.
Modern Terrazzo is made with cement and some type of aggregate, which is usually marble. If marble isn't the chosen aggregate then alternatives include recycled glass and metallic, as well as the more expensive option of mother of pearl. Finishing modern Terrazzo without the use of coatings and sealers has been a modern day choice for most and this proves to be an environmentally friendly option.
Thanks to its timeless beauty and versatility, modern Terrazzo has been rediscovered by contemporary architects and designers to create floors, counters, bars, table tops and other vanities.
If you're a sustainable living advocate that's looking to build your first home or thinking of doing some much needed remodeling, going for the Terrazzo flooring system for your floors, pathways, counter tops or bathroom dividers is the smarter, greener choice.
Because the Terrazzo flooring system uses recycled materials like post-consumer colored glass bottles, aggregates such as crushed stone or gravel, plastic, shells, and even broken up terrazzo floors, it is most definitely the greenest building option out in the market today. Add to this is the fact that maintenance is very low especially compared to hardwood and vinyl. Terrazzo floors can be cleaned just by using soap and warm water. Cleaners with harsh chemicals do more harm than good to terrazzo floors.
Moreover, Terrazzo's sustainability and durability is almost unparalleled in the building industry today. This is especially beneficial if you're a sustainable living advocate as there are less energy and waste materials expended from repeated demolitions and rebuilding.
Another benefit of using Terrazzo is that building restrictions are getting stricter about using binders that have VOC emissions. These days there are binders such as Epoxy that have 0 VOC emissions which make their use in terrazzo flooring systems really popular among architects, builders and homeowners who are looking to have their structures be as green as possible.
When visiting a local mall, your favorite museum or even just walking around the office building where you work, do you often pay attention to the architecture? Do you give the ceilings, the walls or the floor a closer look? Have you ever given these structures around you a second thought?
More often than not, we afford our surroundings a closer look only when something really remarkable has caught our interest; like the intricate markings on the wall or the unique design embedded on the floor.
This is why Terrazzo, the Italian word for "terrace" is also used to describe the materials and the method used to build floors, shower partitions, kitchen and office countertops, and many other structures. It is a composite of various materials such as quartz, marble, glass etc., which are mixed together and poured in situ or precast with either concrete or a chemical based resin.
The beauty of incorporating Terrazzo into your architecture is it gives your overall structure a more cohesive, streamlined finish. Depending on the kind of technique used, the use of Terrazzo can tie together a room's appearance. It can also pick up other various design elements and make them stand out. Additionally, you can choose between a more practical, no-frills design and a more embellished, almost mosaic-like rendering.
Terrazzo Australian Marble Pty Ltd, a family-owned company is considered to be experts in everything terrazzo. They are actively involved in all aspects of the craft, from the choice of materials, the techniques used, to the installation and the upkeep – Terrazzo Australian Marble works only with the best craftsmen in the industry to deliver the highest quality terrazzo creations.
There is no doubt, if you visit Australia and find yourself admiring a particularly exquisite countertop, an intricately designed pathway, you are looking at a Terrazzo Australian Marble creation.

Q: Rolling 3 months DAX I have had a headache since yesterday with a measure.
My table is Data and in this table, I have a column Data[Date] which contains the first day of each month from January to June and a measure which calculates Total revenue.
I need a measure that calculates for June: Total REV = April + May + June.
I have tried this measure:
CALCULATE([TOTAL REV], DATESINPERIOD(Data[Date], LASTDATE(Data[Date]), -3, MONTH))

but in order to have the correct number I need to select all three months in the slicer, not just the month I am interested in.

A: When you've got just one date selected in the slicer the filter context for the CALCULATE is just that month.
So I suspect that something similar to the below would fix your issue as it would allow the CALCULATE to consider the whole date table:
CALCULATE([TOTAL REV], DATESINPERIOD( ALL(Data[Date]), LASTDATE(Data[Date]), -3, MONTH))

A: Try this:
sumx(DATESINPERIOD('Data'[Date], LASTDATE('Data'[Date]), -3, MONTH) , [TOTAL REV])

Asparagus Sandwich
A tea sandwich with the noblest of vegetables.
It's only fitting, really. After all, tea sandwiches are associated with classy places and events, and asparagus has been associated with finer living through most of Western history.
Asparagus by brenbot, on Flickr (CC license)
In Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans, the Greek historian tells an anecdote of Julius Caesar's good manners using asparagus–this printing from a 1919 translation by Bernadotte Perrin:
Of his indifference in regard to his diet the following circumstance also is brought in proof. When the host who was entertaining him in Mediolanum, Valerius Leo, served up asparagus dressed with myrrh instead of olive oil, Caesar ate of it without ado, and rebuked his friends when they showed displeasure. "Surely," said he, "it were enough not to eat what you don't like; but he who finds fault with ill-breeding like this is ill-bred himself."
In defense of Caesar's friends, myrrh tastes bitter and balsamic. Mediolanum was ancient Milan, and an important trade center; the purpose of dressing Asparagus with myrrh was likely the ancient equivalent of putting gold leaf on an ice cream sundae — it shows off the wealth of the host, even if it does nothing for the ice cream.
Around a century after Julius Caesar found himself on the wrong end of his friends' cutlery, the oldest surviving collection of Roman recipes included an asparagus preparation. The original De Re Coquinaria was written in vulgar Latin, but here's a 19th century update into classical Latin by Christian Theophil Schuch:
Which, roughly translated, is: Asparagus: dry asparagus, lower backwards into heat, put back the harder ones. Very little has changed in the preparation of fresh asparagus.
By the 17th century, Louis XIV had asparagus grown in the hothouses at Versailles so he could have them year-round. To explain why that's impressive, though, it helps to know a little bit about Louis XIV and his garden obsession.
The Palace at Versailles, and consequently the original iteration of the garden, were completed by Louis XIII, but it was Louis XIV who really viewed the garden as being a place for the French to show their scientific and cultural superiority to visiting nobility. In 1686, work completed on the Versailles Orangerie, a shelter for delicate plants (mostly orange trees) to live during the winter months. The trees were grown in boxes, and during the warmer months, the boxes would line the paths.
Perhaps an even more illustrative example of Louis XIV's love of exotic flora is that, late in his life, he demanded as part of a peace treaty a coffee plant the Dutch had managed to keep alive in their hothouses. Coffee, obviously, did not take to French cultivation with the same enthusiasm the sweet oranges had.
Consider, then, that in this garden of the exotic and beautiful, Louis XIV set aside space to grow asparagus. And when you're talking about French asparagus, you're talking about white asparagus — buried under six inches of dirt, to avoid the production of green chlorophyll.
In other words, this is (roughly) what the kitchen garden looked like…
Potager at Jardin des Plantes, Paris, by Ruth Temple on Flickr (CC license).
… and this is what growing white asparagus looks like.
A field of white asparagus, by Reinhard Kuchenbäcker, on Flickr (CC license).
In the 1770s, Marie Antionette had the botanical gardens (including the potager, or kitchen garden) removed so she could have an English-style — that is, natural landscape — garden. They were moved to Paris, where they still function today as the Jardin des Plantes. And frankly, my dear, if the residents at Versailles couldn't get year-round fresh asparagus because some painted-up tart wanted to look at cat-tails by a lake, she got off light.
Asparagus came to the new world with settlers where it was cultivated as part of gardens; commercial production started in California around 1850. An early domestic suggestion for an "open" asparagus sandwich appeared in the September 25, 1925 edition of The Ironwood (Michigan) Times:
Hints for the Household
For September
By Betty Webster
Open Vegetable Sandwiches
Here are a few suggestions for some pretty and tasty vegetable sandwiches — ideal for serving at September parties.
Fresh Mushroom Sandwiches
Fresh mushrooms (chopped fine).
Flour (little).
Butter.
Method: Fry altogether until brown. Cool and spread on bread. Do not spread butter on bread as this is a very rich sandwich filling in itself.
Asparagus Tip Sandwich with Mayonnaise.
Strong beans chopped with chili sauce makes a good sandwich.
Brown bread, buttered. Spread with minced sardines moistened with lemon juice. Decorate with pickle and pimento. Makes a very delightful sandwich.
Salmon sandwich with Tartar sauce is delicious.
Now, asparagus cultivation in California has all but stopped due to the state's ongoing water problems. While asparagus doesn't use that much water to grow, the plants themselves are annuals, producing around ten or fifteen seasons of asparagus after an initial two or three year maturing process.
If the state were to cut off the water supply due to a declared drought emergency, you've not only lost this season, but all of the seasons left in the plant — and even if you replant as soon as possible, it'll be two or three years before you can sell again. In the face of that uncertainty, commercial farms have just moved on to safer crops, with rare exceptions. If things keep going like they are, you'll have to be nobility to find any that hasn't spent the most delicious weeks of its life waiting on an a boat.

As an end-result of a Saturday of planting, you can reap from possessing asparagus fix for 10 to 15 years. Now that is a decent profit for your speculation, and all you require after that is a touch of tolerance.

The Naked Truth about Antibacterial Soaps
Elena Elisseeva/PhotoSpin
There's no question that properly washing your hands is one of the most important ways to prevent getting sick and spreading germs to others. This is particularly important during flu and cold season.
However, if you are one of the millions of Americans who lather up with antibacterial soaps and body washes as an extra safeguard against infections, you may not be getting your money's worth.
In fact, "there currently is no evidence that over-the-counter (OTC) antibacterial (sometimes called antimicrobial or antiseptic) soap products are any more effective at preventing illness than washing with plain soap and water," said Colleen Rogers, Ph.D., a lead microbiologist at the FDA.
But perhaps more grave, "new data suggest that the risks associated with long-term, daily use of antibacterial soaps may outweigh the benefits," Rogers said. "Antibacterial soap products contain chemical ingredients, which may carry unnecessary risks given that their benefits are unproven."
Some studies have shown certain ingredients in these soaps, such as triclosan and triclocarban, chemicals found in many antibacterial soaps as well as other beauty products, may contribute to bacterial resistance to antibiotics. And they "may have unanticipated hormonal effects that are of concern to FDA."
On Dec. 16, 2013, the FDA issued a proposed new rule that would require manufacturers to make more substantial information available to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of antibacterial soaps.
Under the proposed changes, studies that directly test the ability of antibacterial soap to provide a clinical benefit over washing with plain soap and water will be required, Rogers said in a statement. Currently, soap manufacturers don't have to directly test the effect of a product on reducing infection rates.
The proposed rule covers only those consumer soaps and body washes that are used with water and clearly marked as "antibacterial" or contains a "Drugs Facts" label on its packaging. However it doesn't apply to hand sanitizers, hand wipes or antibacterial soaps used in health care settings such as hospitals.

Commentary :: Environment
America is the Ultimate Failed State.
by Lloyd Hart
Email: dadapop (nospam) dadapop.com	 11 Sep 2004
After knocking down most of its forests, paving over its wetlands, polluting what water it has left and making all urban environments only habitable with what has become an accepted level of collateral damage in terms of illness and death caused by environmental pollution which has set off a domino effect of ill health down through the generations exposed, America has become like a caged animal not willing to face its own condition but yet completely willing to lash out violently at the World around it.
From top to bottom, from the ultra wealthy suburbs and penthouses to the segregated ghettos America is a failed experiment of the so-called enlightenment of Western thinking. The idea that everything that man does is part of the natural evolution of life on this planet and therefore good in all its parts is coming to a crashing halt. Within this decade America will longer be able to supply its own basic food needs and will in fact end it's own farm subsidies so it can unleash an all new wave land grabbing from its transnational agricultural corporations ADM, Cargill, Monsanto etc. on the unsuspecting and deeply World Bank indebted so-called developing nations so that America will not only maintain control of the world food commodity prices but will as usual feed America first while all others starve.
At this moment America grows most of its food in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Utah, Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas. The one thing all of these states have in common is that they are draining the Central Plains aquifer through agricultural irrigation and chemical farming that have produced aggressive yields but an aquifer that won't last out the decade. With this failure of the central plains aquifer will come the failure of the great Western American cities which are draining every scrap of water out of the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains leaving all the western forests, grasslands and desert brush vulnerable to a record numbers of tragic wildfires and never before seen insect infestations laying waste to vidal moisture holding forests.
The collapse of America's water supply and thus its food supply is a fact that is not lost on the ruling elites. As I have written many times in the past this food and water crisis looming over America would explain why the conservative elites stole the election in 2000, at best turned a jaundiced blind eye too overwhelming pre knowledge of the attacks that occurred on September 11th. 2001 (At worst having a direct hand in the attacks themselves) and the going to Oil war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The U.S. has built a military infrastructure almost completely and 100% dependent on the access to reliable oil supplies in order for it to function. So it only makes sense that when a state has failed as badly as America has, by laying waste to its own environment and that at a time when it's own oil supplies are in recession and considering America's ruling class delusion that it has a Manifest Destiny right to rule the world and the pattern of America's behavior since its formation, the genocide of 30 million Native Americans the enslavement to of hundreds of thousands of Africans, of bringing war to every corner of the world to eventually, secretly and quietly supporting the Fascist regime of Adolf Hitler - it only makes sense it would lash out violently at the world around it in order to take control of other people's oil supplies in a grand plan to ensure that America eats first.
And of course after that it will be "If you want to eat to sit close to the master's table".
The Western ideological philosophy that has failed America has failed the world. It has pressed private property rights over the sanctity of all of nature's creatures and of the air and water. It has deeded and deforested land that never belong to it and a has subjugated people into an economic lifestyle that has ground generation after generation into burned out shells. In it's complete abdication of its responsibility to the world's population and life on this planet America as a failed state has turned even more violently against not only the world's poor but is aggressively turning against its own people who might stand in the way of it's madman's gambit.
Just as Hitler used the burning of the Reichstag in order to silence all opposition to fascist Nazi madness so too has the Bush regime used the events of September 11, 2001 to silence opposition to what can only be described as a modern-day version of what lurks behind the face of the Bush regime, fascism.
The anthrax forced Patriot Act, Homeland Security, the War of Terror and the radical increase of defense spending without regard to the central underpinnings of America's own economy along with the radical movement of American corporations offshore setting up slave shops and consolidating economic control in the so-called developing nations (Where the Water is) all designed to weaken the American workforce placing all Americans including the largest generation in the history of America to come of age in a very precarious and vulnerable position ripe for military picking and the continued denial of the American public's free-speech rights and rights to assemble and the corporate owned media acting as the Bush regime's self appointed sensor can only lead one to conclude that America's leadership has chosen fascism over democracy.
Fascism over democracy one last time in order to stay in some form of psychotic control over self-inflicted failure that cost 2700 Americans there lives, tens of thousands of Afghans their lives, and tens of thousands of Iraqis their lives not to mention a half million Iraqi children that died under U.S. imposed sanctions in the '90s.
On this day September 11, 2004 is much easier to see how this fascist movement barrelled over the American people and is indeed about to steal another election in order to keep entrenching the "New World Order" but it does not mean that the American people are forgiven their complacency while their democracy is stolen from them and their constitution is shredded before their eyes.
On this day September 11, 2004 it is imperative that the American people do not allow another election to be stolen. And as the Democratic Party leadership is to cowardice to challenge the electronic voting machines and the military on line an absentee faux ballot scam the conservative elites have put in place, the American public must demand a paper ballot from every county to be available at every polling precinct in the nation.
The only proper way to remember those that died on September 11th 2001 is to remove the regime that blatantly allowed the attacks to occur and that regime is the Bush regime. However this single act of removing the Bush regime is only the beginning of what must be a housecleaning throughout America of those that would use their wealth and power to send America spinning off into war simply to consolidate further wealth and power. Especially when that wealth and power is no longer in the interest of the American people, the people of the world and all life on this planet.
My thoughts are with the living for we are still suffering.

SELECT DISTINCT TICKET, COMPLAINT_LEVEL, COMPLETION_DATE, DATE_FILTER, YEAR(DATE_FILTER) AS YEAR_FILTER, MONTH(DATE_FILTER) AS MONTH_FILTER,
left(datename(month, DATE_FILTER), 3) + ' ''' +
RIGHT(year(DATE_FILTER), 2) AS SHORT_DATE_FILTER,
CASE WHEN DATE_FILTER < MONTH_END AND MONTH_END < CURRENT_DATE_END AND COMPLETION_DATE IS NULL THEN DATE_FILTER
 WHEN DATE_FILTER < MONTH_END AND MONTH_END < CURRENT_DATE_END AND
 COMPLETION_DATE IS NOT NULL AND ABS(DATEDIFF(DAY, COMPLETION_DATE, MONTH_END)) >= 1 AND DATE_FILTER < CURRENT_DATE_END THEN DATE_FILTER
 ELSE 0 END AS ROW_TYPE
FROM #TEMP
--WHERE row_type = 0
--line above does not work

And this is what my output looks like

A: WHERE DATEPART(year, ROW_TYPE) = 1900

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174420.aspx

A: It seems that there is no datetime that has the null value.
Although it looks tempting to just check the row_type. It will not work, it is a computed column. You need to change your script to this in order to check for the row_type, otherwise you need to compare with the whole expression generating the computed column.
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT DISTINCT TICKET, COMPLAINT_LEVEL, COMPLETION_DATE, DATE_FILTER, YEAR(DATE_FILTER) AS YEAR_FILTER, MONTH(DATE_FILTER) AS MONTH_FILTER,
left(datename(month, DATE_FILTER), 3) + ' ''' +
RIGHT(year(DATE_FILTER), 2) AS SHORT_DATE_FILTER,
CASE WHEN DATE_FILTER < MONTH_END AND MONTH_END < CURRENT_DATE_END AND COMPLETION_DATE IS NULL THEN DATE_FILTER
 WHEN DATE_FILTER < MONTH_END AND MONTH_END < CURRENT_DATE_END AND
 COMPLETION_DATE IS NOT NULL AND ABS(DATEDIFF(DAY, COMPLETION_DATE, MONTH_END)) >= 1 AND DATE_FILTER < CURRENT_DATE_END THEN DATE_FILTER
 ELSE 0 END AS ROW_TYPE
FROM #TEMP ) a
WHERE YEAR(ROW_TYPE) = 1900

A: This would work as well:
WHERE ROW_TYPE = 0

But, as @t-clausen.dk has correctly pointed out, the ROW_TYPE column cannot be referenced in the WHERE clause of the same SELECT. Commonly you'd add an outer SELECT, to which all the aliases of the inner SELECT would be accessible.

COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE FEEDING OF DIFFERENT BREEDS CATTLE AT CLOSED JOINT STOCK COMPANY AGROCOMPLEX FIRM
Usenko V. V. Likhoman A. V. Koshchaeva O. V. Komarova N. S.
The fattening of Holstein cattle for more than 90 % provides the beef cattle division of the firm «Agrocomplex» based in the village of Vyselki, the Krasnodar region. The share of the Aberdeen Angus breed is 6.3 % and Charolais at 0.6 %. The reason for insufficient supply with fattening complex of Charolais cattle is a high indicator of severe parturition, postpartum complications, and reduced productive longevity of cows of breeding herds of these breeds. In a "Livestock complex" bulls of breeds of Holstein, Charolais and Aberdeen Angus reach the required values of live weight for the established standards of the breeding time. Charolais have the best indicators of absolute and relative weight gain and the shortest feeding season. The profitability of cattle fattening in CJSC company "Agrocomplex" is low, but the efficiency of the industry is ensured by the presence of its own processing plants. To improve the profitability of beef production it is required to increase the proportion of specialized breeds for meat productivity; to generate the most uniform by age and live weight of the group; identify the cause of the high rate of culling of Charolais cows for postpartum complications and take action to address them
INFLUENCE OF DURATION OF THE FIRST LACTATION PERIOD OF SOWS ON REPRODUCTIVE QUALITY
Usenko V. V. Likhoman A. V. Novitskaya O. A. Komarova N. S. Chus R. V. Kostenko S. V.
The article contains research results on the influence of duration of the first lactation period of sows on reproductive qualities. The authors have detected basic problems which reduce indices reproduction of purebred pigs of the breed of Yorkshire and hybrids of F1 (Yorkshire x Landras) under conditions of a new complex. It was found that because of the increase in duration of lactation period of the sows it is impossible to increase the safety of the piglets with a reduced live mass (from big nests and slow in growth) and improve the reproductive quality of sows. This method has been used in the economy what led to a notable improvement in the indices of pig breeding
MONITORING OF GLYCEMIA IN COWS FOR THE DETECTION OF PRIMARY METABOLIC DISORDERS IN THE TRANSITION PERIOD
Usenko V. V. Likhoman A. V. Gugushvili V. M. Komarova N. S.
The article contains a synthesis of modern views on the problem of ketosis and related metabolic disorders. We have given evidences of the exceptional role of hypoglycemia in the development of progressive metabolic diseases of cows during the transition period. The necessity of implementing a program for critical period with mandatory control of glycemia was substantiated
RESULTS OF CALVING AND THE COMPOSITION OF THE BLOOD OF HEIFERS OF SIMMENTAL BREED, MOVED TO THE TAMAN PENINSULA FROM THE ASTRAKHAN REGION
Litvinov R. D. Likhoman A. V. Usenko V. V. Komarova N. S. Koshchaeva O. V.
The article contains data on results of calving and blood tests of heifers moved from the Astrakhan region in the Temryuk district of the Krasnodar region in the condition of early pregnancy. According to the accompanying documents, cell blood count, hemoglobin and biochemical parameters were consistent with species and age normal. Calving took place without complications and did not require delivery; received 36 of 36 calves from cows. The quality of the calves found to be satisfactory. On the 45th day of service period, clinical signs of impaired health status were present in 2 animals, however biochemical markers of liver disease, inflammation, and anemia was identified in 7 heifers. In the context of work on creation of livestock combined milk and meat productivity of inseminated heifers and heifers of the Simmental breed the Simmental semen (25 cows) and Aberdeen Angus (34 cows) breeds. Fruitfully inseminated 55 out of 60 animals; indicator of severity of calving was 8 % for Simmental cows. Calves of Simmental breed and Simmental-Aberdeen Angus cross-breeds meet the requirements for live weight at birth and the exterior. Farming on the formation of herds of milk and meat direction of productivity are found to be effective
STATE AND PROSPECTS OF TURKEY BREEDING IN FARMS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ECO-PRODUCTS
Tarabrin I. V. Likhoman A. V. Usenko V. V. Khathakumov S. S. Litvinov R. D. Komarova N. S.
The article contains generalized information on the activities of peasant farms in cultivation of turkey for meat using outdoor technologies. The production is cost-effective, although the rates of live weight gain and the cost of feeding do not reach the requirements for the cross. There are some reserves to improve the profitability (introduction of floor cell technology, optimization of feeding and participation in government support programs)
THE INDICES OF REPRODUCTION IN THE HERD OF MILK CATTLE IN "KUBAN" AGRICULTURAL HOLDING
Likhoman A. V. Usenko V. V. Komarova N. S. Koshchaeva O. V. Shchukina I. V.
The article contains complex research results dedicated of reproduction the cattle of the animal breeding industry in the agricultural holding called "Kuban". Key indicators characterizing reproductive function at cows were set; they were estimated in terms of the plans of the economy in the milk cattle breeding industry. The reduced values of the birth-rate of calves were revealed on 100 cows and in the term of the production use of cows, their main reasons were set. The performed calculations prove the possibility of increasing the profitability of milk production

Q: Count number of rows that contain a string in table view always returns 1 My app dynamically adds table view rows that receive a pass/fail result displayed as the cell string (in addition to a description).  Im trying to count the amount of cells that receive a fail result in the text.  My problem is that my NSLog(@"Counted times: %i", times); always returns 1 rather than adding them up.
 cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Appliance %@:  %@", ((Circuit *)[self.circuits objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]).circuitReference,((Circuit *)[self.circuits objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]).rcdTestButton];
    if(cell.textLabel.text && [cell.textLabel.text rangeOfString:@"Fail"].location != NSNotFound){
        cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor redColor];

        NSString *string = @"str";
        int times = [[string componentsSeparatedByString:@"-"] count];

        NSLog(@"Counted times: %i", times);

    }

UPDATED CODE
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
 {
   NSString *string = @"str";
   int times = [[string componentsSeparatedByString:@"str"] count];

static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
if (indexPath.section == 0) {
    cell.textLabel.text = @"Summary of appliance testing";
} else {
    //Appliance label text
    cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Appliance %@:  %@", ((Circuit *)[self.circuits objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]).circuitReference,((Circuit *)[self.circuits objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]).rcdTestButton];
    if(cell.textLabel.text && [cell.textLabel.text rangeOfString:@"Fail"].location != NSNotFound){
        cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor redColor];

        NSLog(@"Counted times: %i", times);

     }

        cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@""];
}
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;

return cell;
 }

A: It looks like you are initializing the counter inside the loop, which constantly resets it. Declare the variable before the loop, then simply iterate it inside the loop.

A: You have:
NSString *string = @"str";
int times = [[string componentsSeparatedByString:@"-"] count];

Why would you expect this to ever return anything other than 1?
If you want to count the number of rows that meet some criteria, you need to loop through your data (not the cells), and check each value in your data.


Its been a while i asked for a doubt to all histology experts around US, but i have not been able to get much reply (only 1 :(). I thought my doubt/e mail might have been missed by some, so sending it again.
I would really appreciate if anybody could guide me in my problem.
Hope to hear people's advices this time.
> In immunohistochemistry, I am encountering confusion in designating muscle fibers (based on staining color intensity) to a particular fiber type.
> This problem is particularly bothersome when i encounter the fibers stained with 2 different colors, one color has good intensity while other seems to be of light intensity. I don't have any criterion whether to consider this light staining as actual staining, which would classify the fibers as MIXED fibers or should i consider this light staining as background/non specific staining in which case the fibers will be classified as PURE fibers.
> Does anybody can suggest any criterion/tips they have been using to identify muscle fiber type as correctly as possible? I can understand that identifying MIXED fibers is subjective in immunohistochemistry, but it would be of immense help if i could get to know of any objective suggestions.
> I will really appreciate the help!

Hillary's Chappaquiddick
Benghazi attacks, CIA, Hillary Clinton, President Obama, Sid Blumenthal, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett
You can say, "Bad things happen." When they do happen, be ready to respond with character. Critics said Hillary Clinton might have prevented the Benghazi attacks, if she had acted promptly on recommendations to strengthen security at the American consulate there. Perhaps, but hindsight is not twenty-twenty here. We don't know what might have prevented those attacks. More security might have meant that the people who planned the attacks would deploy more sophisticated weaponry, or more people.
A bad thing about the Benghazi attacks and their aftermath is that Clinton appeared to lie low after they took place. Recent email disclosures indicate she was huddling with – Sid Blumenthal! He's not the first person I would turn to for foreign policy advice, but the Clintons, like Obama, do like to keep their friends close by. We know Hillary Clinton didn't have a good working relationship with President Obama, but still, don't you think the two of them could overcome their awkward relationship after an attack where four of our people die?
Clinton's email record does not show positive leadership from either the president or the secretary of state on the matter. Neither does the public record. What you read again and again about the Benghazi attacks is that the White House kept spinning the yarn that the attacks grew out of protests over The Innocence of Muslims, a YouTube video that insults Islam. The government's own intelligence disproved that story quickly enough, but the administration stuck with it long after it lost its credibility.
Clinton's credibility suffered just as much as the president's, but as a loyal cabinet member, she took the hit in public. You saw no gratitude from the president, then or later, for Clinton's willingness to shield Obama from Republican propellers that produced a continuous spray of high-speed mud. In fact, Obama hatchet woman Valerie Jarrett and the president himself appear to be behind the anti-Clinton leaks that have kept her bathing in such poor press the last several weeks.
Hillary Clinton and Valerie Jarrett.
Susan Rice faces the nation. Kevin Drum argues Susan Rice chose her words carefully. Perhaps, but she did not acknowledge down the line that the CIA's "best information" distracted listeners from the truth, nor did she acknowledge that the CIA had strong motivation to do so.
Instead of telling his secretary of state to go out and tell the truth, or something close to the truth, the president sends out Susan Rice, UN ambassador, to do the Sunday morning talk shows. Susan Rice pointed the press toward the anti-video demonstrators story. Did she volunteer for the job? Did Secretary Clinton decide she ought to sit backstage on this one? It's not a fair question, because if she's known for anything, she's known for her hard, diligent work. She stayed in the background after the attacks not because she's lazy, but because… we never found out why. She never hinted at her reason. She does try to avoid situations that make her look bad. Nevertheless, with good leadership from her in this case, she could have looked a lot better than she did.
The maddening thing, for her and for us, is that the CIA won again. Clinton could not speak forthrightly about the embassy attack, because a little way down the road a CIA safe house also came under attack. The Republicans keep coming after her, and provoke her to an angry retort: "What difference at this point does it make!?" No wonder she's angry. She wants to explain, but the explanation is classified. The national security state has our civil servants hamstrung again. Notice that no one in the administration cares to cut her down.
Given that this issue will not go away, and that it might cost her the presidency, she might have said, "Screw the CIA, screw Susan Rice, and screw even the president. I have to lead on this matter, and I'll say what I need to say." Hindsight on that score is not twenty-twenty, either. We don't know if she could salvage anything from a bad situation. We do know that, no matter how bad Chappaquiddick was for Ted Kennedy, he made it worse by leaving the accident and holing up for half a day. For Benghazi, Clinton holed up for a lot longer than that, while the administration floundered to get its unconvincing story in order. You'll notice that to this day, the story does not include the CIA safe house.

1632 - Steel Warriors - Calisthenic street gym
Steel Warriors, a new London charity founded by Ben Wintour and Pia Fontes, aims to create a series of outdoor calisthenics gyms constructed using steel from knives confiscated by London's Metropolitan Police.
A new outdoor gym created using two tonnes of steel from knives confiscated over a two-month period by the Met Police.
Inherently sustainable, 50% of the gym contains recycled knife steel composite, equating to a total of ¼ knife steel overall.
Designed and constructed within a year - the work by the team of specialists was undertaken on a pro-bono basis.
Heyne Tillett Steel have developed a brand-new way of using recycled steel. While it is not necessarily unusual to use a composite of recycled and new steel, it is the first of its kind in using steel of varying grades. All knifes were graded and sorted into groups before being combined with CD4MCu Duplex stainless steel.
While the composite mix is tailor-made for this batch of recycled knives, the research will be used as a template when rolling out further new gyms of this kind.
Steel Warriors – melting knives to create new street gym!
Over the last 6 months, HTS have been working with the Metropolitan Police to reconstruct confiscated knives into a new calisthenic street gym.
Founded by Benedict Wintour and Pia Fonte, the Steel Warriors initiative is tackling London's knife crime head-on by using knives that have been surrendered and are set for destruction.
Working with xxxxx name company xxxx, we are forging new steel elements that will be used to provide youngsters with free training, in addition to mentorship hosted by ex-offenders. The process is being documented in a film, which captures the project across London and in the HTS studio.

Q: Android Market - app update I have a weird problem with my app and Android Market. I've uploaded my first app to the market with versionCode set to 1 and the versionName 1.0.0. Today I've uploded an update version which had tas versionCode set to 2 and the versionName set to 1.0.1. I then activated the new version. After a while the marked update the page of my app and the update showed up on my phone. When i check the update then instead of an "Update" button like for every other application there is an "Open" and "Uninstall" button.... I have no idea what the problem could be... Please help!

A: There I've seen delays of up to 3 hours in the android market fully refreshing its servers.  Market App on your phone also caches (a reboot would sort this).
I've seen inconsistencies between search results, product listing page and the download page during the hours after an update. Even inconsistencies between 2 phones in the same room!

A: It could be that the trying to update a developer version from eclipse which is signed with a different key to the one you used when publishing to the market.

Q: Laravel PHP foreach(User::all() as $user) performance if I write a foreach loop like this, is the method all() called every loop again or only once?
foreach(User::all() as $user) { ... }

In C# I know, the all() function is only executed once. But in php also?
Or is it faster if I hold the data in a variable like this?
$users = User::all();
foreach($users as $user) { ...}

A: Both pieces of code will do the exactly same job and will create just one DB query, but I'd go with this for better readability:
$users = User::all();
foreach ($users as $user) { ... }

Template:Chapter InfoboxRight Before the Decisive Battle is the 392nd chapter of Akira Amano's Katekyō Hitman Reborn!
Tsuna prepares to explain the situation once more to the gathered mafioso, while Bianchi redirects Kyoko and Haru away from Tsuna's house. Kyoko notes that he didn't see Reborn, to which Bianchi replies that Tsuna had kept this meeting a secret from the Arcobaleno.
Meanwhile, Tsuna explains that he proposed a method to keep the Arcobaleno alive: a method to relight the flames within all the Arcobaleno Pacifiers, and that he had consulted with Talbot, who agreed that it would be possible. Tsuna follows up by stating that to execute this method, they had to absolutely defeat Team Bermuda, who was only out for his own revenge that would have the current Arcobaleno as the side-casualties. Mukuro and Squalo note that the people gathered were all strong mafioso: Tsuna easily replies that after fighting personally with all of them, he trusts them. Byakuran doubts the Vindice's power, but Tsuna cautions him, stating that he couldn't even measure the limit of Jager's power when he fought against him. Adelheid voices her doubts about the possibility of their victory, and Tsuna agrees, stating that Reborn doubted their success as well, and that he wouldn't force them to fight with them. Silence descends for a moment, but Enma chuckles and notes that Tsuna's face didn't look like it doubted their victory, seconded by Byakuran and Mukuro. Xanxus bluntly asks Tsuna what he was planning, to which he replies that he was only sure of one thing: that this time, they would be the first to move.
In Checker Face's base, Wonomichi complains that he was sweating in his top hat, and asks Checker Face how he stood it with a mask as well. Checker Face lightly replies that he was sweaty as well, and inquires about the various teams' activities. Wonomichi replies that they had all taken their Rainbow Wristwatches off, restricting his monitoring abilities. Checker Face comments that it was probably Bermuda's "bad influence". Wonomichi comments that he had noticed Bermuda's hostility towards Checker Face, and asks him if allowing him to move unrestricted was wise, but Checker Face points out the usefulness of Bermuda's Flame of Night, and that it, along with the Sky Flame, would probably determine the outcome of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow, and that as long as strong people kept protecting the Pacifiers, he was happy.
In a Vindice base, Bermuda addresses his followers, stating that they had stayed within the cave for a long time, getting stronger for their revenge. Bermuda announces that it didn't matter who got in their way: they would destroy them all. He tells his followers to cast aside their robes marking them as the guardians of mafia rules, and to bare their hatred. As Team Bermuda walks out of the cave, Bermuda states that it was the last party, and that they should enjoy both life and death.

Home Editorial FIRST LOOK: 10 movies you need to see in October
FIRST LOOK: 10 movies you need to see in October
James Shotwell
Ah, October. The leaves are changing, the temperature is dropping, and everyone is digging deep in their closet to find their favorite sweater or sweatshirt from last year in hopes it still fits. It's the most wonderful time of year for people who think summer is too hot and Christmas is too commercial. It's also a good time to love cinema, as the perfect mix of genre films and potential Oscar contenders roll out into theaters nationwide in hopes of pulling consumers from their homes for a few hours of communal entertainment.
You may have missed the announcement we made at the end of August, but in recent weeks our staff has decided to end our long-running series of epic film preview lists in favor of more timely articles. Instead of highlighting upwards of fifty films spread over several months we have focused our attention on the ten titles from the coming thirty (or in this case, thirty-one) days that we feel deserve your time and money. Most will be found in theaters, but some may appear on streaming services as well. We know not everyone can afford ten trips to the theater, but we do hope you make time for a few of these films in the weeks ahead.
The Florida Project (10/6)
If Sean Baker stopped making films after the success of Tangerine his legacy in the world of moviemaking would have already been secured. Thankfully, Baker isn't that crazy and instead has delivered something entirely different that appears to be just as captivating. Set on a stretch of highway just outside the imagined utopia of Disney World, The Florida Project follows six-year-old Moonee (Brooklynn Prince) and her rebellious mother Halley (Bria Vinaite,) over the course of a single summer. The two live week to week at "The Magic Castle," a budget motel managed by Bobby (Willem Dafoe), whose stern exterior hides a deep reservoir of kindness and compassion.
Despite her harsh surroundings, the precocious and ebullient Moonee has no trouble making each day a celebration of life, her endless afternoons overflowing with mischief and grand adventure as she and her ragtag playmates—including Jancey, a new arrival to the area who quickly becomes Moonee's best friend—fearlessly explore the utterly unique world into which they've been thrown. Unbeknownst to Moonee, however, her delicate fantasy is supported by the toil and sacrifice of Halley, who is forced to explore increasingly dangerous possibilities in order to provide for her daughter.
Brawl In Cell Block 99 (10/6)
Remember when Matthew McConaughey had a streak of hits a few years ago and people started calling that era of his career the 'McConaissance'? If Brawl In Cell Block 99 is half as good as it looks we could be witness the dawn of the Vaughnaissance. The film follows a former boxer named Bradley (Vince Vaughn) loses his job as an auto mechanic, and his troubled marriage is about to end. At this crossroads in his life, he feels that he has no better option than to work for an old buddy as a drug courier. This improves his situation until the terrible day that he finds himself in a gunfight between a group of police officers and his own ruthless allies. When the smoke clears, Bradley is badly hurt and thrown in prison, where his enemies force him to commit acts of violence that turn the place into a savage battleground.
Blade Runner 2049 (10/6)
This is, by far, the most highly anticipated new release of October. Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos. K's discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years. What happens next is a mystery to everyone who isn't a critic, but so far the critics seem to love whatever it is that unfolds. We'll be first in line.
The Foreigner (10/13)
No film has had a longer promotional run this year than The Foreigner. I'm not sure if that is actually true or if it is a fact I just made up, but it certainly feels that way. Jackie Chan stars as a man who is on a quest to understand the events that lead to the death of his family. Pierce Brosnan is a man who has answers, or at least who knows the people that do, and based on the trailer above he is standing in Jackie Chan's way. A whole lot of revenge-action in the spirit of Taken (and a million lesser films) no doubt ensues.
Marshall (10/13)
You know it's Oscar season when biopics begin rolling out to several thousand screens on opening weekend. Based on an early trial in the career of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, the film follows the young lawyer (Chadwick Boseman) to conservative Connecticut to defend a black chauffeur (Sterling K. Brown) charged with sexual assault and attempted murder of his white socialite employer (Kate Hudson). Muzzled by a segregationist court, Marshall partners with a courageous young Jewish lawyer, Samuel Friedman (Josh Gad). Together they mount the defense in an environment of racism and Anti-Semitism. The high profile case and the partnership with Friedman served as a template for Marshall's creation of the NAACP legal defense fund.
Geostorm (10/20)
Some moviegoers just want to watch the world burn. Or freeze. Or break into due to a series of unexpected earthquakes along well known fault lines in densely populated metropolitan areas. If all three apply to you, or if you enjoy tidal waves the size of skyscrapers, then Geostorm is the movie you almost can't believe is real that actually exists. After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the planet, the world's leaders came together to create an intricate network of satellites to control the global climate and keep everyone safe. But now, something has gone wrong—the system built to protect the Earth is attacking it, and it's a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out everything…and everyone along with it.
The Snowman (10/20)
There are nowhere near enough modestly budgeted crime thrillers being pushed into wide release these days, but maybe The Snowman can change that trend. When an elite crime squad's lead detective (Fassbender) investigates the disappearance of a victim on the first snow of winter, he fears an elusive serial killer may be active again. With the help of a brilliant recruit (Ferguson), the cop must connect decades-old cold cases to the brutal new one if he hopes to outwit this unthinkable evil before the next snowfall.
Only The Brave (10/20)
Starring every other leading man in Hollywood today, Only The Brave is the first big ensemble feature of Oscar season 2k18. Whether or not it has the performances to match its cast list remains to be seen, but the story certainly feels ripe for adaptation. Based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, this film tells the heroic story of one unit of local firefighters that through hope, determination, sacrifice, and the drive to protect families, communities, and our country become one of the most elite firefighting teams in the country. As most of us run from danger, they run toward it – they watch over our lives, our homes, everything we hold dear, as they forge a unique brotherhood that comes into focus with one fateful fire.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer (10/20)
All hail Yorgos Lanthimos. I have watched the trailer for this film at least two dozen times and I still have no idea what exactly is going on. A young man needs to take revenge, a doctor has to make a decision, and his family must survive.
Jigsaw (10/27)
The franchise that just won't die continue to find new ways to showcase horrific deaths you wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy. I don't know why our love for this franchise continues, but I, for one, am thrilled to see it return. Bodies are turning up around the city, each having met a uniquely gruesome demise. As the investigation proceeds, evidence points to one man: John Kramer. But how can this be? The man known as Jigsaw has been dead for over a decade.
If you have an upcoming film you feel should be considered for a future installment of this series, please email [email protected] with the release information.

Young midfielder Liam Angel believes Cinderford Town can challenge for promotion straight back to the Premier Division of the Southern League this season.
The Foresters have started with a 1-1 home draw against Swindon Supermarine and a narrow defeat at Evesham United.
But both performances have been full of positives for manager Paul Michael, who is starting his first full season in charge.
Angel, 18, has previously been on the books of Cardiff City and Newport County.
He has also had trials with Stoke City and Ross County, but arrived at The Causeway in pre-season after also training with Gloucester City.
"I have found it really positive so far," Angel said.
"We have a good group of lads and coaching staff and it's a well run club for its size and one that has good ambition and standards.
"I am aiming to play as many minutes as possible in men's football and obviously to put in good performances.
"As a team you never want to put pressure on it but I think we've got to be looking at finishing in and around it at the top of the table after our first two games and with the squad we have got."
Angel, who lives in Blackwood near Caerphilly, felt Cinderford were unfortunate not to come away with at least a point against Evesham, who snatched all three thanks to Mat Liddiard's 86th minute header from ex-Foresters midfielder Lorcan Sheehan's corner.
"I thought we were unlucky and deserved at least a point," he said.
"Admittedly the first 20 minutes we started slow, but we had by far the better chances to win the game.
"It is one where you look back and on another day we would have scored two maybe three, but that clinical mentality will come we've just got to remain positive and believe in the way we play and what the gaffer is asking us to do."
Angel is training three times a week in the gym as well as training and playing with Cinderford as he bids to earn a return to the professional ranks in the near future.
The Foresters play Slimbridge in the preliminary round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

Q: Unable to convert MySQL date/time value to System.DateTime I get this error:

Unable to convert MySQL date/time value to System.DateTime

while I am trying to fetch the data from a MySQL database.
I have the date datatype in my MySQL database. But while retrieving it into my datatable, it get the error above.
How can I fix this?

A: If I google for "Unable to convert MySQL date/time value to System.DateTime" I see numerous references to a problem accessing MySQL from Visual Studio. Is that your context?
One solution suggested is:

This is not a bug but expected
  behavior. Please check manual under
  connect options and set "Allow Zero
  Datetime" to true, as on attached
  pictures, and the error will go away.

Reference: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=26054

A: Pull the datetime value down as a string and do a DateTime.ParseExact(value, "ddd MMM dd hh:mm:ss yyyy", culture, styles); You would just need to set the date format up for the date you are returning from the database. Most likely it's yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss. At least is is for me.
Check here more info on the DateTime.ParseExact

A: You must add Convert Zero Datetime=True to your connection string, for example:
server=localhost;User Id=root;password=mautauaja;Persist Security Info=True;database=test;Convert Zero Datetime=True

A: i added both Convert Zero Datetime=True & Allow Zero Datetime=True and it works fine

A: Let MySql convert your unix timestamp to string. Use the mysql function FROM_UNIXTIME( 113283901 )

A: I also faced the same problem, and get the columns name and its types. Then cast(col_Name as Char) from table name. From this way i get the problem as '0000-00-00 00:00:00' then I Update as valid date and time the error gets away for my case.

A: Rather than changing the connection string, you can use the IsValidDateTime property of the MySqlDateTime object to help you determine if you can cast the object as a DateTime.
I had a scenario where I was trying to load data from an "UpdateTime" column that was only explicitly set when there was an update to the row (as opposed to the InsertedTime which was always set). For this case, I used the MySqlDataReader.GetMySqlDateTime method like so:
using (MySqlDataReader reader = await MySqlHelper.ExecuteReaderAsync(...))
{
    if (await reader.ReadAsync())
    {
        DateTime? updateTime = reader.GetMySqlDateTime("UpdateTime").IsValidDateTime ? (DateTime?)reader["UpdateTime"] : null;
    }
}

A: In a Stimulsoft report add this parameter to the connection string
(right click on datasource->edit)
Convert Zero Datetime=True;

A: When you're using EF edmx with MySql, please review the Precision attribute in the entitytype.
<EntityType Name="table">
  <Key>
    <PropertyRef Name="Id" />
  </Key>
  <Property Name="Id" Type="int" StoreGeneratedPattern="Identity" Nullable="false" />
  <Property Name="date_field" Type="datetime" Precision="0" Nullable="false" />
</EntityType>

If you made changes in the datetime field, it could be possible you're missing this attribute in the property.

A: You can make the application fully compatible with the date and time that is used by MySql. When the application runs at runtime provide this code.
First Go to the Application Events.
In the list of tools

*

*Go to the project

*Project Properties

*Select the Application tab

*View Application Events

This will open a new file. This file contains code used at the start of the application.
Write this code in that new file:
 Partial Friend Class MyApplication

    Private Sub MyApplication_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.StartupEventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
        My.Application.ChangeCulture("en")
        My.Application.ChangeUICulture("en")
        My.Application.Culture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "yyyy-MM-dd"
        My.Application.Culture.DateTimeFormat.LongDatePattern = "yyyy-MM-dd"
        My.Application.Culture.DateTimeFormat.LongTimePattern = "HH:mm:ss"
        My.Application.Culture.DateTimeFormat.ShortTimePattern = "HH:mm:ss"
    End Sub

End Class

A: if "allow zero datetime=true" is not working then use the following sollutions:-
Add this to your connection string:  "allow zero datetime=no" - that made the type cast work perfectly.
