The Royal Palace of Portici (Reggia di Portici or Palazzo Reale di Portici; Neapolitan: Reggia 'e Puortece) is a former royal palace in Portici, Southeast of Naples along the coast, in the region of Campania, Italy. Today it is the home of the Orto Botanico di Portici, a botanical garden operated by the University of Naples Federico II. These gardens were once part of the large royal estate that included an English garden, a zoo and formal parterres.
It is located just a few metres from the Roman ruins of Herculaneum and is home to the Accademia Ercolanese, the deposit for all found objects of archaeological site. This is in effect the Museum of Herculaneum, opened in 1758 by King Charles.

On 3 July 1735 at the age of 18, Infante Charles of Spain was crowned the King of Naples and Sicily. He had taken control of the two kingdoms by military force opposing the powerful Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor. In 1738, Charles and his consort Princess Maria Amalia of Saxony were favourably impressed with the area of Portici when they visited the villa of Emmanuel Maurice, the Duke of Elbeuf. The couple commissioned this palace in Portici to serve not only as a private residence, but as a place to receive foreign officials travelling to the kingdom.
Work began at the end of 1738 under the direction of Antonio Canevari. Canevari had helped the royal couple in construction of the Neapolitan Palace of Capodimonte. The interiors of the Palace of Portici were frescoed by Giuseppe Bonito, while the gardens were decorated with marble sculptures by Joseph Canart.
Portions of ancient Roman villas and noble residences were discovered in preparing the foundations of the palace, and excavation of the area revealed numerous works of art, among them temple with 24 marble columns. This discovery was put in the Museum of Portici, built for the occasion, and annexed to the Accademia Ercolanese. The museum was founded by Charles in 1755 also to house the findings from the excavations of Herculaneum.

Since the new royal palace was not large enough to house the whole court, it stimulated construction of other grand residences in the neighborhood, 122 of which are now known as the Vesuvian Villas. This also led to the expansion of the Palace of Capodimonte. Charles and his wife kept the Portici Palace as their summer residence and seven of their twelve children were born there.

Upon King Charles' accession to the Spanish throne in 1759, he left his Neapolitan and Sicilian domains to his third son, Prince Ferdinand who would rule till his death in 1825. During the reign of Ferdinand, the Palace was overshadowed by the far grander Caserta Palace which became the official home of the court from 1759. Portici was the private home of Prince Felipe of Naples and Sicily, the eldest son of Charles III of Spain. Prince Felipe was mentally disabled and lived in the palace till his death there on 19 September 1777.
In the spring of 1769, the palace hosted Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor. In 1770, a fourteen-year-old Mozart stayed there. In 1799, King Ferdinand added an opera house to the palace. During the Napoleonic occupation, General Joachim Murat refurnished the palace with French furniture.
In 1804, the Queen Consort, Maria Isabella of Spain, gave birth here to her first child, Princess Luisa Carlotta. Luisa Carlota would marry her uncle, the Spanish Infante Francisco de Paula. On September 13, 1848 Queen Maria Isabella died at the palace aged 59. Today the palace accommodates the seat of the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Naples Federico II.
In 1834,Corografia dell'Italia describes the Palazzo Portici, as being built by King Charles:
to increase the glory of the royal autumnal vacations, of which it formed the center. Towards 1750 it was used to store the collection of precious things that had been discovered in Herculaneum and in Pompeii. The building is on three floors, and is rectangular, 400 feet from east to west, and 360 feet wide. The principal prospect is of the sea; the large courtyard is octagonal, but has the singularity, or rather the disadvantage, of carrying the main thoroughfare that leads from Naples to Salerno, to Sannio, to Apulia and Calabria. Inside that big courtyard are the royal apartments, the sumptuous galleries that contained the fine museum, unique in the world, for the quantity of statues, bronzes, bas reliefs, pots, candelabras, and tools of every type found in the excavations of the above-mentioned two towns, and that today are part of the Bourbon Museum. What is seen however, and what is not found in other royal palaces, is that has floors composed of ancient Greek or Roman mosaics. The galleries however are not entirely devoted to precious objects; one also finds a fine collection of paintings of the Italian, French and Flemish schools. The gardens are at the east on the slopes of Vesuvius: they are immense, little adorned, but with many trees that are always green, especially service and arbutus trees, which feed the thrushes that abound there.[1]

The Chapel of the Palace
The entrance presents a spacious and majestic façade terraced and equipped with balustrades; the center of the palace is a large quadrangle of which there are two gateways which allowed traffic to pass through; this thoroughfare was once called the Strada delle Calabrie or Road of Calabria. It is today called the via Università. The palace has two large parks: on the West overlooking the Gulf of Naples, and on the East looking towards Mount Vesuvius.
On the left side of the courtyard of the palace is the barracks of the Royal Guards (Caserma delle Guardie Reali) and the Palatine Chapel (Cappella Palatina of 1749), while a majestic salon (1741) leads from the vestibule to the first floor, where the apartment of Caroline Bonaparte is. The salon is richly decorated in Louis XIV style, and the boudoir of the Queen Maria Amalia of Saxony has walls decorated in porcelain of the Capodimonte Porcelain Factory which Maria Amalia helped found in 1743.
Park[edit]
The Palace's park, called Giardino della Regina, originally extended from Pugliano towards Vesuvius down to Granatello, towards the sea. It was divided into two parks, the lower having spacious avenues surrounding English gardens. It held works of art including the Fountain of the Sirens (Fontana delle Sirene), the Kiosk of King Carlo (Chiosco di Re Carlo) the Fountain of the Swans (Fontana dei Cigni), and an amphitheatre.
In the upper park was Charles's private zoo with kangaroos, an elephant, two lions, two panthers, four antelopes, an African lioness, a puma, two American tapirs and a porcupine. This novelty was kept by King Ferdinand who maintained that it was to remain on show to foreign dignitaries.[2]

^ "Palazzo di Portici: fu edificato nell'anno 1738 dal re Carlo di Borbone, che con ciò volle accrescere il lustro delle reali autunnali villeggiature, delle quali forma il centro. Verso il 1750 fu disposto per deporvi le preziose cose che di mano in mano andavansi scoprendo in Ercolano ed in Pompeia. E' un edifizio a tre piani di forma rettangolare, lungo 400 piedi da levante a ponente e largo 360. Il principale prospetto guarda il mare; il grande cortile è di figura ottagona, ma ha la singolarità, o piuttosto il difetto, di passarvi in mezzo la via che da Napoli conduce a Salerno, nel Sannio, nella Puglia e nelle Calabrie. All'intorno di quel gran cortile vi sono i reali appartamenti, nonchè le sontuose gallerie che contenevano il pregiatissimo museo, unico al mondo, per la quantità di statue, di bronzi, bassirilievi, vasi, candelabri, ed utensili d'ogni genere trovati negli scavi delle anzidette due città, e che in oggi fanno parte del Museo Borbonico. Vi si vede però ciò che non scorgesi in verun altro palazzo reale, cioè d'avere i pavimenti composti d'antichi musaici greci o romani. Quelle gallerie non sono però tutte vuote di preziosità; vi si trova una pregiata collezione di quadri delle scuole italiana, francese e fiamminga. I giardini stanno all'oriente sul pendìo del Vesuvio: sono vasti, poco adorni, ma con molti alberi sempre verdi, specialmente di sorbe o corbezzole pel nutrimento dei tordi che vi abbondano."

El bálsamo de Tolú o bálsamo Tolú es el producto resultante tecnológico de una secreción resinosa del árbol Myroxylon toluifera, una variante de la especie de donde se extrae el bálsamo del Perú.

Etimología

Debe su denominación desde el siglo XVI a su origen en la provincia de Tolú (ahora municipio) en la costa Caribe de Colombia. Desde allí se comercializó y se dio a conocer hacia Europa, particularmente España, en donde se hizo muy popular por sus propiedades y pasó a ser parte de la farmacopea de la época.

Ubicación
Los árboles espontáneos abundan en Colombia y Venezuela. Los árboles se cultivan particularmente en Cuba.

Obtención
La resina se extrae del tronco del árbol a través de incisiones en la corteza y es colectada al secarse.

Características
El color de su resina es pardo claro a rojiza. El bálsamo es moldeable en caliente y se fractura en un patrón similar al vidrio flint cuando está frío. La resina seca tiene un complejo aroma consistente principalmente de notas de canela y de vainilla con un suave carácter floral.

El bálsamo de Tolú está compuesto de tolueno o metilbenceno, ácido benzoico, resina y aceites volátiles; es soluble en el alcohol y en el éter; cede al agua su ácido benzoico.

Usos
La resina, tanto en hojas como en frutos, ha sido tradicionalmente usada desde tiempos prehispánicos por la gente de Colombia, Venezuela y América Central para mejorar tos y asma, o tratar heridas. Los aborígenes también usaron esta resina para el embalsamamiento.

Uso medicinal: El extracto vegetal se emplea como expectorante, estimulante, antiséptico y sustancia correctora del sabor de los jarabes para la tos; ayuda a combatir catarros crónicos y pulmonares, laringitis, reumatismo, bronquitis. Diferentes autores enuncian también su uso para el tratamiento de enfermedades venéreas, de la piel, torceduras, sarna, diarrea, cólera y tuberculosis por sus propiedades antisépticas, antibacteriales, antifúngicas, antiinflamatorias, cicatrizantes, antidisentéricas, parasiticidas (antihelmíntica), estomáquicas, tónicas, antigonorreicas y antisifilíticas, de igual manera sirve para una tos persistente.

Uso alimenticio: Se emplea también en la manufactura de goma de mascar (chicle), saborizante de chicles, alimentos y bebidas.

Uso cosmético: muy valorado por su esencia cálida, melosa y algo picante, su mayor uso es en la fabricación de cosméticos, lociones, perfumes, cremas, ungüentos, jabones, detergentes y desodorantes.

Es causa de dermatitis de contacto, una forma de alergia de la piel, en personas sensibles.

Sponsorship and Support
German composer Felix Mendelssohn finds himself at the center of this week's episode of Exploring Music. He has been hailed as one of the greatest musical minds of all time. We venture from his precocious youth to his early death. His great body of work is still in the repertories of chamber groups and orchestras. And it's the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto that is loved by all. The same love and devotion is true for his String Octet and Italian Symphony.

Mendelssohn finds his voice at 15 with his piece, Overture for Wind Instruments in C Major. Felix Mendelssohn is recognized widely for his piano performances, his conducting and compositions. In fear of Napoleon's accusations of betrayal, Abraham Mendelssohn moved to Berlin with his wife and young children, one of whom was Felix. After the move, Abraham played a significant role in the inception of Felix's compositional career, as an intensive homeschooling parent. Mendelssohn idolized Bach, and began to make what would become his very own music, famous by the age of 16.

Mendelssohn experiences his first failure that sends him running from the concert hall, crying. Surrounded by the encouragement to venture onto the creation of an opera, the 16-year-old composer did so, but his conductor, Spontini, delivered a dry performance with an audience that became abuzz by the middle of the second act. So in order to divert his own attention, Mendelssohn dove into St. Matthew Passion from his idol, Bach, and he learned the piano part to accompany his singing friends in Berlin. Later, Mendelssohn traveled to London where he was accosted by a man accusing him of using Beethoven's ideas in his string quartet.

Abraham Mendelssohn converts his family from Judaism to Protestantism after observing Napoleon's mobile activities, and even adopts a new last name for the family. Mendelssohn composes a Protestant Reformation symphony. However, Adolf Hitler notices this effort to avoid Judaism, although Mendelssohn was not simply avoiding it. Rather, he was beginning to truly understand Protestant beliefs. Hitler did not allow Mendelssohn's music to be played in Germany and had a Mendelssohn statue destroyed.

You have opened up the world of Classical Music to me, where previously, it seemed too complicated.
Steffen Demeter
This is simply one of the very best radio programmes in the medium!...The study of the people, the times, and the events that inform the music we otherwise enjoy and even, heaven forbid, take for granted, brings the entire world of the music and the composer to life.
Walther Davies
There isn't a program you broadcast on Exploring Music" that isn't of interest. I find them all engaging. It is a combination of variety of subject, intellectual curiosity and your obvious enthusiasm which characterize your satisfying programs.
Michael Sanders
It's a great way to re-engage myself with consciousness before heading off to work.
Kourtney
I Love this program! I am in 7th grade and I am the complete opposite of the other kids. I am 4th chair in the orchestra and I love to read. But most of all, I LOVE classical music!
Claudia Wertz
Your show has helped open my mind and heart to this world of music, and every show I hear confirms my place in music and gives me new ideas for where I'd like to go with it in the future….I grew up with classical music as a child and always held it in my heart, but I didn't have the confidence to be a good student (or a good violinist.)
Christine Anderson
Listening to you is almost interactive.You invite us in with so many well modulated dramatic and informative comments, enticing, enthusiastic interpretations, and coherent, beautiful presentations. It's a privilege to follow you into the musical space you create.
Sally Rosenbaum
I just love this program. It is soothing and comfortable at the end of the day. I find his comments interesting, but they aren't so dragged out that there is very little music. The balance of both is just right.

Former Trump political consultant Roger Stone has been a target of the Mueller investigation for the last two years, and the pressure on him has been intense.
Stone appeared on ABC's This Week Sunday, and confessed to using Julian Assange's Wikileaks as political leverage during the 2016 campaign. Stone however, firmly denied ever communicating with Assange.
It certainly appears that Robert Mueller is intent on "getting" Stone, and by extension, President Trump. But if what Stone is saying is true, Mueller is barking up the wrong tree.

What's Behind Obama's Rebounding Approval Rating?
Increasing optimism about their financial futures has led more Americans to view the president in a positive light.
By Ronald Brownstein
Anirudh Koul/Flickr
Lifted by improving economic expectations, President Obama's approval rating in the latest Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor Poll has rebounded to its highest level in nearly two years. But even with that recovery, Americans remain split almost evenly on both the impact of his economic policies and his overall performance, the survey found.
These political assessments closely track the trend of modest improvement tempered by continued unease that the survey found in attitudes about the economy. As we reported yesterday, while Americans' assessments of their own personal financial situations and the national economy have clearly brightened, unease about America's economic performance—particularly in generating rising living standards—remains widespread.
The Sexism of Startup Land
Staying Close to Home, No Matter What
How Do Americans Feel About Where They Live?
The poll returned a similar verdict of restrained improvement on many measures. On the broadest question, the share of adults who described the country as "headed in the right direction" reached its highest level in the poll since immediately after Obama's reelection in November 2012. But even so, just 33 percent said the country is heading in the right direction, while 54 percent described it as "seriously off on the wrong track."
Similarly, in the new survey, 46 percent of adults said they approved of Obama's performance as president while 48 percent disapproved. That was a marked improvement from the previous poll in October 2014, when only 41 percent gave him positive marks. The new survey placed Obama's approval rating at its highest level since June 2013 (when it reached 48 percent).
Improving economic expectations clearly are benefiting Obama. Among the 44 percent of adults who said they expected their financial situation to improve over the next year, 56 percent approved of his performance while 38 percent disapproved. The 46 percent who expect their financial situation to remain unchanged tilted against him: 40 percent approved and 54 percent disapproved. And with the 8 percent who thought their situation would deteriorate, just 24 percent approved, while 68 percent disapproved.
Those stark divisions suggest that Obama's approval rating could rise at least somewhat further if sustained growth continues to increase the share of Americans upbeat about their economic future.
Compared with last October, the new survey found Obama's approval rating jumping 7 percentage points among both Democrats and independents, as well as 8 points among minorities (reaching 66 percent with them, his best showing since September 2013). Mark Buck, a Native-American independent who operates an excavating business near Toledo, Ohio, gave the president good marks not only on the economy—his business, Buck says, "is really starting to take off pretty well"—but also the passage of his health reform law. "Helping people out with health care is a big thing, because people have struggled, like myself," says Buck. After a construction accident in 2004, he continued, "For 10 years, nobody would sell me insurance. Fortunately, now I can get that and finally get my checkups … without being so concerned about spending all of that money out of pocket to keep up with my health."
Obama's gains with whites were much more muted: He stood at 37 percent with them in the new survey, up only 3 percentage points since last fall. His approval rating among whites has exceeded 41 percent in the Heartland poll only twice since 2009.
The poll found that Obama has now regained majority approval from each of the three pillars of the modern Democratic electoral coalition: young adults ages 18-29 (52 percent), college white women (53 percent), and minorities (66 percent).
Among whites, Obama notched his largest gains among the group traditionally most receptive to Democrats: white women holding at least a four-year college degree. His approval rating among those upscale women spiked to 53 percent, up from 45 percent last fall; since 2010, Obama has ranked higher with college white women only once. Cindy Harrison, who works for the federal courts in St. Louis, is one of those women mostly positive on the president. "I remember before he took office, when things were going in the tank and Republicans weren't doing anything," she says. "He came in and took the bull by the horns." These college white women, whose support for Obama declined in 2012, could be critical to Democratic hopes of succeeding him in 2016: Both national and state polls have consistently found Hillary Clinton improving on Obama's performance with this steadily growing group in early tests against possible GOP nominees.
With other whites, Obama's situation remains much more precarious. He drew positive approval ratings from just 26 percent of noncollege white men, 33 percent of college-educated white men, and 34 percent of white women without a college degree. "I haven't seen one good action out of the administration," says Geoffrey, a white manufacturing worker from Plainfield, Connecticut, who asked to withhold his last name. John, a white software engineer from Manhattan, who also asked to withhold his last name, was even more dismissive: "I think he's done a terrible job. … Obamacare makes things more expensive, and I think in the long run, the goal of the government is to make health care too expensive, to make it fail, and require the government to come in and completely socialize it."
For all of Obama's difficulties among the noncollege white men and college white men, he won reelection fairly comfortably in 2012 despite carrying fewer than 2-in-5 among each group. And by contrast to his struggles on those fronts, the poll found that Obama has now regained majority approval from each of the three pillars of the modern Democratic electoral coalition: young adults ages 18-29 (52 percent), college white women (53 percent), and minorities (66 percent). "I think he's doing pretty good, especially with health care reform and creating opportunities to go back to college," says Chavez Eaton, a 24-year-old African American from Felton, Delaware, who is planning to return to college. "Congress isn't doing a good job, but Obama does the best he can with what he has."
Similar divisions of race and class appeared on a question the Heartland Monitor has asked since September 2009, with slightly different wording over time, about the impact of Obama's economic policies. Overall, in the new survey, 45 percent of adults said Obama's policies have "run up a record federal deficit while failing to significantly improve the economy," while 42 percent said his policies have helped "to avoid an even worse economic crisis and are fueling economic recovery." That narrowly negative tilt was the best showing for Obama on that question since November 2012.
Stark racial and class differences rippled through these reactions too. While 56 percent of nonwhites said Obama's policies had helped more than they hurt, just 29 percent of noncollege white men, and 34 percent of both noncollege white women and college-educated white men agreed. Among whites, only the college-plus women gave the president mostly positive marks, with 52 percent saying his policies had mostly improved conditions. Just over two-fifths of independents said Obama's policies had done more harm than good—a modest result that nonetheless marks a clear gain from the most recent times the survey asked the question. Young adults split on this question exactly in half at 42 percent each.
The survey also found advances for Obama on the related question of how his policies had affected individuals' personal financial prospects. In the survey, 32 percent of adults said his policies would increase "opportunity for people like you to get ahead"; an equal 32 percent said his approach would "decrease opportunity for people like you to get ahead"; and 31 percent said Obama's plans would have no impact.
The country remains closely divided as well on the broader philosophical question of the government's role in the economy.
That hardly qualifies as a ringing endorsement, but it does represent tangible progress for Obama: In November 2013, the share of adults who said their opportunities would be reduced by his policies (47 percent) was more than double the portion who thought they would be increased (23 percent). The racial contrast on this question remains sharp too: While minorities are far more likely to believe Obama's policies will increase (49 percent) rather than decrease (20 percent) their economic opportunities, whites are more likely to see Obama limiting (38 percent) than expanding (25 percent) their prospects. Noncollege white men and women, not surprisingly, are especially negative, and though Obama recorded some improvement among well-educated white men, they remain mostly negative too. By contrast, for the first time since May 2011, more college-plus white women in the new poll say they believe Obama's policies will improve rather than diminish their opportunities. Generationally, Obama now runs even or narrowly ahead on this question among all age groups in their working years, especially those under 40; his numbers are suppressed by an extremely negative verdict among those over 65.
Asked "to the extent the economy has improved in recent months," who should get credit for the uptick, 37 percent picked Obama, 27 percent congressional Republicans, 23 percent neither, and 4 percent both; 3 percent said the economy has not improved. The same contrasts held on this question: Minorities were twice as likely to credit Obama as congressional Republicans, while whites split about evenly (31 percent for Obama, 29 percent for the GOP). Noncollege white men and women bent toward the GOP, but on this question the college-educated white men (somewhat surprisingly) joined their female counterparts in leaning more toward Obama. Still, continuing the poll's clear pattern, those well-educated women were much more likely to credit Obama than any other group of whites.
The country remains closely divided as well on the broader philosophical question of the government's role in the economy, which is certain to provide a central divide in the 2016 presidential race. In the poll, 35 percent of adults endorsed the Ronald Reagan-like notion that "in the current economic environment, government is not the solution to our economic problems; government is the problem."
Another 27 percent said that in the current climate "the government must play an active role in regulating the marketplace and ensuring that the economy benefits people like me." The remaining 34 percent made up the conflicted swing group: they agreed that they "would like to see government play an active role in the economy to ensure it benefits people like me, but I am not sure that I can trust government to do this effectively." Minorities and college-educated white women were less likely than the other groups of whites to endorse the Reaganite sentiment and to lean toward the options that reflected at least receptivity to government activism. Young adults under 30 were also considerably less likely than those older to endorse the idea that government is the problem.
The modestly rising tide of economic optimism has lifted even assessments of Congress, although they remain dismal: 18 percent said they approve of Congress's performance, while 71 percent disapprove. Still, that's the highest approval rating for Congress since November 2012. Although the GOP now controls both chambers, Congress faces disapproval ratings of about 7-in-10 or more among Democrats, independents, and even Republicans.
Americans rate their own member of Congress slightly more positively: 36 percent said they approve of their own representative, while 42 percent disapprove. This question provokes a greater partisan divide: While pluralities of Democrats and independents say they disapprove of their own representative, a slight plurality of Republicans say they approve.

Q: rbind in a loop in R I have n data.frame which I want to combine with reputation, where I choose 2 of them.
Lets say I have three data.frame named data1, data2 and data3. I want to combine them with rbind, so I have: data1data2, data1data3, data2data1, data2data3, data3data1 and data3data2.
Instead of writing:
data1data2 <- rbind(data1, data2)
...
data3data2 <- rbind(data3, data2)

Is there a way which I can do that with a loop in R?

A: This code will build all the combinations of data frames rbinded 2 at a time.
for (i in 1:n) {
 for (j in 1:i) {
  if(i==j) { next }
  df_first = paste0("data",i)
  df_second = paste0("data",j)
  expr_rbind = paste0("rbind(",df_first,",",df_second,")")
  expr_store_as = paste0(df_first,df_second)
  expr_final = paste0(expr_store_as," = ",expr_rbind)
  eval(parse(text=expr_final))
 }
}

To get permutations instead of combinations, change the loop of j in the inner loop from 1 through n instead of 1 through i.

A: You can do:
data1 <- BOD; data1$demand <- data1$demand +100
data2 <- BOD; data2$demand <- data2$demand +200
data3 <- BOD; data3$demand <- data3$demand +300
L <- list(data1, data2, data3)

combn(L, 2, simplify = FALSE, FUN=function(x) list(rbind(x[[1]], x[[2]]), rbind(x[[2]], x[[1]])))

or (to flaten the list):
R <- combn(L, 2, simplify = FALSE, FUN=function(x) list(rbind(x[[1]], x[[2]]), rbind(x[[2]], x[[1]])))
do.call(c, R)

Q: SQL SERVER How to take each group by as an alias

I want to count all of the column in my table that has value >= 10.
here is my table :

Date#####   |  Value1 |  Value2 |   Value3 | Type
 23/04/2014  |  1,2    |    12,3 |    10    | Alert
 23/04/2014  |  11,2   |    3    |   10,3   | Alert
 24/04/2014  |  10,9   |    3    |     1    | Non-Alert

I want to take each group by on column type as an alias, for example : GROUP BY Type = 'Alert' as TAlert, Group BY Type='Non-Alert as TNon-Alert'.
Assume that I have a lot of group of date, I want it to display only the last 3 group of date.
Here is my code so far:
select d, cnt
from (
    select top 3 [Date] as d,
           sum(  Case When value1 >= 10 then 1 else 0 end
               + Case When Value2 >= 10 then 1 else 0 end
              ) as cnt
    from tbBooth
    GROUP BY [Date],[Type]
    Order By [Date] DESC
) x
ORDER BY d ASC

Is there anyway how to do it? because I want to put it on my line chart series, TAlert in series1 and TNon-Alert in series2.
Here is the result of the query in my table,

>
       d for date,,, cnt for counting
 d           | Type       | cnt
 23/04/2014  | Non-Alert  | 8
 24/04/2014  | Alert      | 3
 24/04/2014  | Non-Alert  | 7

then, I want to take each group in column type. for example group of Alert as TAlert, or group of Non-Alert as TNon-Alert....
Thanks in advances....

A: You need to UNPIVOT it first, then SUM with the CASE. I'm not sure where the "only the last 3 group of date" fits in, maybe a more complete sample data would help.
But, with what we have now, try this:
;with x as (
    select *
    from (
        select [date], [type], Value1, Value2, Value3
        from tbBooth
    ) p
    unpivot (
        v for val in (Value1, Value2, Value3)
    ) as up
)
select [date], [type], sum(case when v >= 10 then 1 else 0 end)
from x
group by [date], [type]


Last Sunday I attended a day of prayer for sisters in my province, to prepare for Advent. We had been asked to bring symbols of what Advent means to us. I brought a pack of Christmas cards: the pictures were religious, images of the Incarnation, to which Advent leads us, but the cards themselves also symbolised all the busy-ness of preparing for Christmas - cards and gifts for family and friends, work dos, and, of course, planning for the celebrations. Often there is a strange dissonance in all this: for example, living in a university city means that carol services - scheduled for before the holidays - happen when Advent has barely begun, so we're welcoming the birth of Christ three or more weeks before Christmas itself! And that's without what happens in shops sometime in October!
We got into small groups to share our symbols, and choose one to take back to the big group. In our sharing and discussion there was a convergence on the idea of Advent as a time of waiting… in stillness, emptiness, silence. There was, for us, a clear distinction between Advent as a time of inner preparation for the renewed coming of Jesus into our world and lives, and the busy-ness of all the external preparations for Christmas. Both are filled with joyful anticipation, but if we get too caught up in one we can easily forget the other!
This Advent, I will keep that picture before me, and strive to live that attitude of stillness and waiting.

 The recommended way to perform a J-PAKE exchange is by using
 two JPAKEParticipants.  Internally, those participants
 call these primitive operations in JPAKEUtil.

 The primitives, however, can be used without a JPAKEParticipant
 if needed.

 Alice could simply check ga != 1 to ensure it is a generator.
 In fact, as we will explain in Section 3, (x1 + x3 + x4 ) is random over Zq even in the face of active attacks.
 Hence, the probability for ga = 1 is extremely small - on the order of 2^160 for 160-bit q.

Blea Tarn nestles in a hanging valley between Great and Little Langdale. It provides a classic viewpoint, dramatically beautiful, where everything comes together. Across the tarn the Langdale Pikes are perfectly framed by the slopes of Pike of Blisco and Side Pike, with beautifully shaped pine trees on the western shore. In the spring the meadows by the lake are rich in colourful flowers, in the autumn the area is ablaze with gold, reds and browns.
Blea Tarn is nine miles drive from Ambleside. From Ambleside take the A593 to Skelwith Bridge and take a right at the Skelwith Bridge Hotel down the B5343 signposted Elterwater and Langdale. Drive past Elterwater to the village of Chapel Stile. Drive through Chapel Stile into Greater Langdale continue past the New Dungeon Ghyll, the National Trust car park on your right and onward to the Old Dungeon Ghyll take a sharp left past the National Trust campsite and up the hill past Wall End Farm and up steeply to the top of the hill. Then down past Blea Tarn House to Blea Tarn National Trust car park on your left.
Blea Tarn House is a popular subject taken from the roadside looking north or by climbing a short way up the footpath beside the small stream opposite the cottage to look towards the fells.
Walk down the path across the road from the car park, there are some good vantage points almost immediately on your right.
Walk down to the tarn for some great reflection shots of the slopes of Pike of Blisco and Side Pike which draw the eye to the Langdale Pikes in the centre through the pass. Best on a calm day. Use the rocks in the foreground for foreground interest.
Walk along the shore to a wall and more shots of the tarn and mountains this time with the solitary pine on the headland more prominent.
You can also get a good shot of the craggy Blake Rigg above the coniferous woodland to the west, a good early morning shot.
Rejoin the path and go through the gate, there is a good view from the path and the lakeshore.
Side Pike is most prominent in the background, there are textured rocks and slender stalks in the shallows of the tarn in the foreground and the small peninsula with the distinctive pine juts out into the shot. A useful tip here is to crouch as low as you can and also to isolate the distinctive pine with a telephoto.
Turn around and Bleamoss beck goes under a footbridge with a solitary pine by a wall. With a subject on the bridge and with the right conditions this can be a great shot.
This next shot requires a little effort but gives a great landscape shot of the whole of Blea Tarn and the mountains to the north.
Blea Tarn is owned by the National Trust and as part of their 'Miles without stiles' scheme is suitable for push chairs and wheelchairs. There are picnic benches and lots of places for children to explore so makes an ideal family spot. The path continues around the back of the tarn. The shores of the tarn can be a little wet in places, so waterproof walking boots or wellies are a good idea. In summer take midge (insect) repellent especially if there is no wind.
This is a place to visit anytime of year at any time of the day. Sunrise and sunset can be special here. Spring and summer is good for flowers, autumn is the most colourful time and a snowy winter scene can be very dramatic. At the ends of the day the low sun casts long shadows accentuating the rough mountains and generally adding drama to an already spectacular scene.


Do you remember Paul the octopus in Germany who predicted all the German results? SEA LIFE Manchester has followed the "tradition" by employing the talents of Otto to predict how England would do in this year's Euros.
The answer is that Otto has predicted wins for England over its first three opponents, Russia, Wales and Slovakia.
How did it do so?
Three LEGO® blocks, one with the English flag, one a draw and another with the Russian flag, were placed in front of Otto so she could use her tentacles to wrap around the one she wanted to predict as the result. There was no indecisiveness on Otto's part as she wrapped herself around the Russian LEGO® block to show the predictions for the victorious team.
Only when England play Russia tonight will we know whether Otto is a worthy successor to Paul.

Q: C++ sequence points and changes to evaluation order in C++17 I am a bit confused about the way the changes to C++17 affect the rule that you should not modify one variable 2 times between sequence points.
For example is this specified, unspecified or undefined in C++17?
void func(int x, int y);
int x=47;
func(x++,x++);

My guess would be UB.
edit: extra datapoint: clang HEAD in c++2a mode gives
prog.cc:8:11: warning: multiple unsequenced modifications to 'x' [-Wunsequenced]
edit2: same with gcc HEAD in C++2a mode
prog.cc:8:15: warning: operation on 'x' may be undefined [-Wsequence-point]
edit3: with preincrement gcc and clang give different results

A: The example in your question
int x = 0;
f(x++, x++);

Is now unspecified behavior, rather than undefined behavior. That means that it's valid code, but what actually happens may differ between compilers.

A: The order of the evaluation of the parameters is unspecified, it means that the compiler can evaluate the parameter in any order, but should not invoke UB. This is nessecary for parameters with an allocation for example, allocation has itself a sideeffect, but for the semantic of the program, the order of allocation should not matter.
class person;

// consumes 2 persons, needs to delete them later
void use_persons(person* a, person* b);

int main() {
    // Alice can be allocated before or after Bob
    use_persons(new person("Alice"), new person("Bob"));

Regulation of GLUT4 biogenesis in muscle: evidence for involvement of AMPK and Ca2+
Jones, Terry E.
Chen, May
Wamhoff, Brain R.
Sturek, Micheal
Regulation of GLUT4 biogenesis in muscle: evidence for involvement of AMPK and Ca2 . Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 282: E1008–E1013, 2002; 10.1152/ ajpendo.00512.2001.—There is evidence suggesting that adaptive increases in GLUT4 and mitochondria in skeletal muscle occur in parallel. It has been reported that raising cytosolic Ca2 in myocytes induces increases in mitochondrial enzymes. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that an increase in cytosolic Ca2 induces an increase in GLUT4. We found that raising cytosolic Ca2 by exposing L6 myotubes to 5 mM caffeine for 3 h/day for 5 days induced increases in GLUT4 protein and in myocyte enhancer factor (MEF)2A and MEF2D, which are transcription factors involved in regulating GLUT4 expression. The caffeine-induced increases in GLUT4 and MEF2A and MEF2D were partially blocked by dantrolene, an inhibitor of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2 release, and completely blocked by KN93, an inhibitor of Ca2 - calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CAMK). Caffeine also induced increases in MEF2A, MEF2D, and GLUT4 in rat epitrochlearis muscles incubated with caffeine in culture medium. 5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAR), which activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), also induced approximately twofold increases in GLUT4, MEF2A, and MEF2D in L6 myocytes. Our results provide evidence that increases in cytosolic Ca2 and activation of AMPK, both of which occur in exercising muscle, increase GLUT4 protein in myocytes and skeletal muscle. The data suggest that this effect of Ca2 is mediated by activation of CAMK and indicate that MEF2A and MEF2D are involved in this adaptive response. 5 -adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase; gene expression; skeletal muscle; tissue culture; myocyte enhancer factor 2; Ca2 -calmodulin-dependent protein kinase

CTA envisions Blue Line makeover
CTA and IDOT are coordinating on Ike redo

As the Illinois Dept. of Transportation moves forward on plans to expand the I-290 Expressway, the Chicago Transit Authority is also working on a plan to update the Blue Line sharing of the right-of-way with the Ike.
At a Corridor Advisory Group Task Force meeting in July, CTA Chief Planning Officer Carole Morey presented updated plans for the Blue Line Forest Park branch.
The vision study for the Blue Line branch has been spurred in part by the IDOT planning for the Ike corridor. The CTA is willing to acknowledge that the "extra track space" to the north of the Blue Line easement is not necessary for express trains. That space has been eyed by IDOT as a way to add an extra lane to the expressway.
But the two plans are likely on different funding cycles, said Citizens for Appropriate Transportation founder Rick Kuner.
"If IDOT can stay within the area they own, they don't have to worry about CTA's schedule," Kuner said. Nevertheless, IDOT and the CTA don't want to step on each other's toes.
Maps on the eisenhowerexpressway.com website, meanwhile, show room in the highway's footprint west of Forest Park for a possible far-future Blue Line extension to Hillside.
The study says CTA and IDOT "are coordinating different options for possible joint funding opportunities."
The Blue Line study concludes that the 55-year-old Forest Park branch is beyond its useful life. Two minor derailments took place within the past three months along the line, as well as the "Ghost Train" incident in 2013 where a runaway train from the rail yard crashed into a stopped train at Harlem Avenue.
The track is "severely worn," according to the study, with contaminated ballast, deteriorated ties, worn rails and poor drainage. The stations are over 50 years old and only four of 12 are handicap-accessible. All of them have narrower-than-recommended platforms. Electrical upgrades are needed at the substations, cabling and for the third rail.
The Forest Park maintenance shop and rail yard at the end of the line can only hold about 30 percent of the Blue Line's cars, Kuner pointed out. The study called the maintenance shop "inadequate" in track configuration and capacity.
Nevertheless, CTA knows commuters will be using the Blue Line more during Ike reconstruction. The agency hopes that, by coordinating long-term visions, both projects can save money.
The CTA committed in June to retain the double station entrances in Oak Park and Forest Park at Harlem, Oak Park and Austin and has made the same promises about the Illinois Medical District, Racine and UIC Halsted.
However, CTA could reconfigure Cicero, Pulaski and Western avenue stations as "dual headhouses," so buses going both ways can let passengers off. The CTA does not plan to reopen West Side stations at California, Kostner and Central avenues, which closed in 1973.
The CSX railroad owns the spur line south of the CTA, but Kuner said there's no word on whether they would be willing to sell the easement. The CSX line is used almost entirely to bring train cars of sugar to the Forest Park Ferrara Candy factory.
Kuner has also pointed out that trains have a harder time than cars changing grades or going up and down hills. This needs to be taken into account when lowering the roadbed of the expressway to accommodate lower exit ramps.
The Blue Line Vision Study also provides a glimpse into how new stations at Desplaines Avenue in Forest Park and Austin Boulevard in Oak Park, as well as a reconfigured Forest Park train yard, would look. Renderings of the sleek, white Desplaines terminal station move it east to straddle Desplaines Avenue, so pedestrians don't have to cross expanses of concrete to get to the train platform.
Artist renderings of platforms show them wider with better weather protection.
With the depot gone, the Forest Park train yard could be reconfigured with better bike and pedestrian access. The new configuration will have better storage capacity and a bigger repair shop.
The modernistic rendering of the Austin stop includes landscaping, a pedestrian shelter, bike racks and ADA accessibility.

Sometimes, I just don't want to get up in the morning. My head feels like there's a piece of plywood wedged between its right and left halves. Once I got up to use the bathroom, though, it was inevitable that I would plop myself in this chair and, after a little light reading and writing, step forth, blinking, into the brightness of the day.
Hmm... sounds like you're coming down with something.
I love the sound when the fuzzy and unfuzzy parts of velcro become as one: "Avoiding cougar carcasses? Is that very realistic?"


Food costs are a continuous concern for all shoppers, as they try to keep up with feeding their families healthy yet tasty and filling foods, some are finding it more and more difficult to stay afloat. In a recent SupermarketGuru.com quick poll, the Lempert Report found that many shoppers are cutting back on certain categories as prices rise. Even with the plethora of money saving apps, coupons, deal sites, and more, consumers are feeling the squeeze.
When asked about having to cut back on certain items from the grocery list due to rising prices, consumers most often cited beef as an item they are buying less of. Prepared foods, organics, seafood, beer and wine, as well as juice were also top of the list to cut back on. Twenty percent of shoppers say they have not cut back on their shopping just yet. Milk and fresh produce were the least likely to be slashed from shopper's lists.
Not surprisingly, the top four items that shoppers say they will cut back on if prices continue to rise (in order) are, prepared foods, beef, organics, and seafood.
Healthy eating is on top of mind for most shoppers and increasing food prices are thought to put a damper on getting our five a day, but is this true for all shoppers? The slight majority at 51 percent says yes, higher food prices have negatively affected their ability to eat healthier. But on the flip side, 49 percent of shoppers are finding ways to keep up with healthy habits, even as prices rise.
So how do shoppers cope with rising food prices? The majority say they are purchasing more store brands, followed by cooking more from scratch, buying only what's on sale, using more coupons, and shopping more at farmers' markets for their produce needs. Other shoppers commented that they are eating more vegetarian meals, less meat and seafood, so that helps cut back on food costs, as well as eating more canned and frozen items and even using more eggs and beans, as they are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals and cost effective.
Shoppers will always be savvy and looking for ways to save money, but when times are tight cutbacks are inevitable. It's our job in the food industry to continue to provide healthy, nutrient dense, wallet friendly options so that we can help keep our nation healthy, productive and happy.
