Public Health Concerns
Coyote diseases or parasites are rarely a risk to humans, but could be a risk to domestic dogs in Washington.
Anyone handling a coyote should wear rubber gloves, and wash their hands well when finished.
Canine distemper, a disease that affects domestic dogs, is found in our coyote populations. Have your dogs
vaccinated for canine distemper to prevent them from contracting the disease.
Canine parvovirus, or "parvo" is another disease that affects domestic dogs and is found in our coyote
populations. Parvo vaccinations have helped to control the spread of this disease. Despite being vaccinated, some
dogs—especially puppies and older domestic dogs—still contract and die from parvo.
Parvo is usually spread to coyotes and domestic dogs by direct or indirect contact with infected droppings.
Exposure to domestic dogs occurs where dogs assemble, such as parks, dog shows, kennels, pet shops, and where
they have contact with coyotes. Contact your veterinarian for vaccination information if your dog is ill.
Mange occurs in coyote and red fox populations in the Washington. Mange is caused by a parasitic mite that
causes extreme irritation when it burrows into the outer layer of the animal's skin. The mite causing mange is
fairly species-specific, and thus it would be difficult for a human to contract mange from an infected wild animal.
If a person is bitten or scratched by a coyote, immediately scrub the wound with soap and water. Flush the wound
liberally with tap water. In other parts of North America coyotes can carry rabies. Contact your physician and the
local health department immediately. If your pet is bitten, follow the same cleansing procedure and contact your
veterinarian.
Coyotes are unclassified wildlife; however, a license and an open season are required to hunt or trap them. A
property owner or the owner's immediate family, employee, or tenant may kill or trap a coyote on that property if
it is damaging crops or domestic animals (RCW 77.36.030). A license is not required in such cases.
Except for bona fide public or private zoological parks, persons and entities are prohibited from importing a
coyote into Washington State without a permit from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and written permission
from the Department of Health. Persons and entities are also prohibited from acquiring, selling, bartering,
exchanging, giving, purchasing, or trapping a live coyote for a pet or export (WAC 246-100-191).
Because legal status, trapping restrictions, and other information on coyotes changes, contact your WDFW
Regional Office for updates.

MURAKAMI "CHAMPIGNONS" LITHOGRAPH
Often compared to Andy Warhol, Takashi Murakami (b. 1962) is a prolific, versatile and internationally renowned superstar artist.
Working in an array of media, unencumbered and oblivious to the distinctions between high art and commercial products, Murakami's colorful motifs are instantly recognizable.
While Murakami already had a high-profile in the art world, in 2002 his reputation was catapulted when he began a continuing-collaboration with Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton.
The fashion house used his designs and illustrations on an array of luxury products, notably handbags.
Murkami's signature characters and motifs hijacked the illustrious brand's traditional patterns.
Murakami arguably became the most successful artist of the first decade of the new millenium:
He created artwork for Kanye West. His sculptures fetched more than $10 million at auction.
And a huge retrospective travelled the world, stopping in museums such as the Guggenheim (Bilbao) and the Brooklyn Museum.
In the fall of 2010 Murakami was the third contemporary artist to be invited to exhibit his works at the Palace of Versailles.
All of these accolades aside, Murkami's aesthetic is undeniably optimistic, uplifting and unique.
He has extracted many of the characteristics of Japanese anime and created a visual language that is understood and admired globally.
"Champignon" is an excellent and iconic example of his work. An array of stylized and personified mushrooms demonstrating an interesting tension between comic-book cute and menacing.

Revolution Slider Error: Slider with alias seasidehomes0716 not found.
From the top floor, southwest corner of the Pier Residence, the Salish Sea and the town of Sidney are stunning. Huge windows soar to 14-foot ceilings. There are almost 270 degrees of expansive, exhilarating views. I feel as though I am perched high in a glass castle, with the world at my feet.
"We've had a wonderful life living in many countries abroad," begins Jill. Her husband Bill was in the Canadian Foreign Service and his postings included stints in Brazil, Pakistan, Thailand, Singapore and Sweden. When it came time to retire, they built a large home in New Denver, B.C., which was an "idyllic existence," until health concerns necessitated a move.
Jill and Bill were 70 years old and wanted to get the next move "right." Five years earlier, while staying at the Pier Hotel, Jill was impressed by Sidney's character, the friendly residents, its eclectic stores, and the ever-changing sky. So when she and Bill made their first foray to find a new place to live, Sidney was where they came.
Twenty-four hours later, with rain beating down so hard they could not see the horizon, they were toasting each other at the Pier Bistro. They had found their new home with the help of realtor Gay Helmsing. The 1,460-square-foot penthouse became theirs in May 2015. It was to be their 15th move in 50 years together.
The new home met every criteria but one: there was no storage, not even a linen closet. "We needed to downsize and simplify," said Jill, "but not shed everything!" It was time to find a cabinetmaker.
They had a very specific vision in mind for cabinetry, focusing on achieving both a unique look and what would be stored in each cabinet. "The challenge for Cabinet Works," said owners Jeff and Vivienne Scott, "was to take those needs and build the new cabinetry using modern hardware and building techniques." Their designer, Chantelle McLarty, worked closely with Jill and Bill to help them define their vision.
"The selected cabinetry was taller than available materials," Jeff explained, "so special joinery was employed to ensure the quality and integrity of the seams." After much research, he imported a wood veneer species with a horizontal grain orientation from Italy to achieve the perfect colour match and design. A sliding ladder made from aircraft-grade spruce was designed and built to access the top shelves by attaching to a metal rail.
The cabinets and thoughtfully designed interiors utilize every square inch of space. An all-in-one kitchen machine, for example, pops out of a lower cabinet on a spring-loaded lift, and rises level with the granite counters. As a former Home Economics teacher, Jill loves cooking, especially when she can still be in the middle of everything that's going on.
Along with the incredible views, it is the seamless central living space of kitchen, dining room and living room that makes this home a standout.
In the dining room, the gateleg dining table inherited from Bill's parents is topped by Jill's lovely quilted tablecloth. The west wall of cabinets contains linens and an extensive collection of dishes. On one shelf is a coal burning steam engine Bill assembled in Singapore. Jill and Bill's grandchildren love being towed behind it in a little wagon.
Throughout the home, Cloud White (Benjamin Moore) walls display family photos and much loved art. International furnishings create a sophisticated atmosphere in the home. Persian rugs from Islamabad warm the dark stained hardwood floors. The rosewood side tables and hand carved elephant chair are from Thailand. Jay Thomas, a master finisher from Cabinet Works, built a stand for the magnificent marble tabletop Jill and Bill brought home from Rio de Janeiro. Samba figures are inlaid on one side, and orange and brown colours create swirls on the flip side.
On one of his trips through the Khyber Pass, Bill bargained for the brass samovar displayed in the corner of the living room. Other treasures include baskets from Thailand, onyx lamps from Pakistan, Dalecarlian horses and glass lanterns from Sweden, and a Victorian army sword with the Queen's crown on the guard that was likely used in used in the Anglo-Afghan Wars. This is a home in which every item has an intriguing story.
A Swedish candle chandelier hangs from the ceiling, welcoming contemplation in the den. Three nesting glass panels pull out to provide a quiet space. Custom-built work surfaces, a reference bookcase and two walls of floor-to-ceiling cabinetry accommodate work and hobby needs. Hydroponic herbs grow in the corner.
The bedroom wing is compact, but the 10-foot ceilings and big sky and ocean views ensure the two bedrooms and master ensuite feel spacious. On one of the suite's balconies there is a railway bench purchased from Exeter Station. Herbs, strawberries, nasturtiums, pansies, and a brazelberry plant grow in planters.
Built out of the same material as the cabinetry, the entry hall bench offers an example of the prevailing theme of dual functionality throughout the house. It's a place to put on your shoes, while underneath it is a carefully designed space to store favourite wines.

Night's Caress by Mary Hughes
When artist Brie Lark left her vampire ex and her straitjacket of a hometown to breathe free in New York City, she promised herself two things: she'd never go back to Meiers Corner, and no more vampires. The last thing she expected—or wanted—was to be sent back home on an assignment. But her boss at the FBI needs her undercover on a murder case, working with a black-haired, black-eyed giant god of a man who's her idea of perfection, except for one thing—he's a vampire.
FBI Special Agent Seb Rikare is an ancient vampire hardened by loss. He's cut all emotions to protect himself and leads a deliberately steady, almost sterile life. The brash young woman forced to pose as his lover irritates him, with her jangling bracelets and colorful hair. But as much as she irritates him, he finds himself drawn to her lively spirit and he's tempted to make fantasy a reality.
Night's Caress by Mary Hughes is the 1st book in her new The Ancients series.
I haven't read anything by this author before, and looking on her site I noticed this might be a spin off from a former series, This doesn't detract in any way from the book, but it did make me want to read the other series after this one.
FBI special agent Seb Rikare is an ancient vampire and is investigating a string of murders that look like vampire kills. Seb is your typical vampire, tall and brooding. In his life before coming a vampire, he had a wife, but it wasn't a love match and he suffered because his wife didn't love him, so he cuts himself off from emotions and feelings. When he meets Brie, he isn't impressed with the bangles and the coloured hair, so he tries as hard as he can to fight the feelings he starts to have for Brie.
Brie Lark is an artist who works for the FBI as a civilian. She wanted out of her small minded town of Meiers Corner, and when she moves to New York, it's like all of her wishes have come true. She is finally happy, but will her happiness come crashing down when she's asked to be a girlfriend to a moody vampire, and to return to the small town she couldn't wait to leave?
Brie has also been hurt, and by a vampire too, so Brie isn't interested in falling for the vamp, but her mind has other ideas, in fact her imagination ran away with her at times.
This story is well written, flows well and quick, with some fight scenes that are a little gory.
Brie will need all her strength and skill to survive. Will she fall for Seb ? Or will she want to escape both the vampire and Meiers Corner ? Seb will have to battle an old foe. Will he be strong enough to survive the battle ? And will he open his mind and heart to a woman who drives him to distraction?
The different POV's did take a little while to get my head around, as we would swing from 1st person to 3rd person. I would have preferred it to be one or the other. But it was a good read, which I will keep on my reading list.


Essentially, what Habit does is assess a customer's DNA profile, blood, body metrics, and lifestyle. Then, through a bunch of proprietary algorithms, they feed back information to that customer about the type of diet they require and offer services around coaching and on-going assessments as well as providing actual meals.
Yes, there is some science behind their claims, but critics believe the hype is well ahead of the science. It's difficult to assess when we have no access to their methods of analyses or their results... does that matter? I'm the first to admit that I spend money on anti-aging face creams which I know have sketchy scientific credibility - I like the pretty jars and I buy hope! Ultimately though, I believe a long-term food business proposition requires a combination of credible science, market positioning, and aspiration.
I jump on a few soap boxes regarding New Zealand's food producing sector, but my greatest soap box is the need for NZ to be in the food and health game in a more concerted manner. We have great medical schools, great food producers, and some great initiatives to put the two together in the R&D sector. For example, the High Value Nutrition Science Challenge, and in the private sector, Zespri and Comvita are storming along well and check out Anagenix for the next wave of smart products. Yet, I worry we are not investing enough, we are too slow and we are missing big opportunities. How do we gain a better understanding of the impact of designed red meat products on our elderly? How do we package more of our fruit and vegetable products in an accessible health-giving form to eat on the go? How do we target yoga-loving customers, or people who would like to be yoga-loving but don't quite get there, with sheep-milk energy drinks?
It is competitive out there and every primary sector in the world is nervously scanning the synthetic product horizon and planning what they can do. NZ needs to be strategic across government, industry, and private sectors. We need to innovate to compete, we need to push the boat faster.

The Best Insect Repellent: Offering Protection Against Zika-Carrying Mosquitoes
Talking about tropical diseases in the UK sounds somewhat alien; our climate isn't exactly hot (even during the height of summer!) However, recent years have seen temperatures rise (a by-product of climate change) and experts say this has triggered a movement of insects, specifically mosquitoes, from the tropics to Western Europe – carrying with them, diseases such as Zika, dengue and malaria.
So in this blog, we're going to cover the rising threat of diseases carried by mosquitoes – explaining why taking preventative measures, such as using the best insect repellent may help to lessen their impact.
Increased Migration of Insects: Highlighting The Importance of Finding The Best Insect Repellent
The Zika Virus.
A major concern for health experts has been the growth of the Zika virus in recent years. Transmitted primarily by the Aedes family of mosquitoes (which bite during the day), symptoms are generally mild (lasting for 2-7 days) and may include a fever, rash, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, lethargy or a headache. Research by the World Health Organisation (WHO) has also identified a heightened risk of neurologic complications from the virus in adults and children – including Guillain-Barré syndrome, neuropathy and myelitis.
More ominously, Zika infections during pregnancy have been noted to have high potential to cause infants to be born with microcephaly (affecting brain development) and several other congenital malformations; known widely as 'congenital Zika syndrome'.
First identified (in humans) in Uganda and Tanzania in 1952, further outbreaks were recorded elsewhere in Africa, as well as in Asia, the Americas and the Pacific. With global travel becoming somewhat easier during the mid-late 20th century, European travellers to these locations were infected and brought the virus home. Since 2015, following an outbreak in South America, around 2,400 cases of Zika have been detected in Europe.
However, 2019 saw the first indigenous case of a Zika virus in Europe – creating a need for anti-Zika safeguards, such as the formulation of the best insect repellent.
Zika Comes To Europe.
In October 2019, French authorities reported that there had been a case of an indigenous case of Zika, in Hyeres, on the Mediterranean coast. The patient had no travel history to any Zika-endemic countries and it was also later reported that two more people had suffered from Zika symptoms, in the same place and around the same time (August 2019). Although the three patients recovered, it causes somewhat of a concern that indigenous cases are being recorded on mainland Europe.
As European health professionals have been put on alert, Public Health England have been taking steps to put in place measures in case of an outbreak. Asian tiger mosquitoes (Aedes Albopictus) have been detected across South East England, believed to have been transported over the Channel in lorries. With the summer of 2018 being the joint-hottest on record (for the UK as a whole), there is concern[i] that the Asian tiger mosquito will acclimatise, take up residence and breed – producing an outbreak of Zika.
Whether you're travelling to any warm/tropical climates or are concerned about mosquitoes (or any other insects) at home, there are a few steps you can take to protect yourself and your family. WHO have produced a number of safeguards against any kind of mosquito bites, including the wearing of light-coloured clothing (that covers as much of the body as possible), using window screens and closing doors and windows, as well as applying the best insect repellent to skin and/or clothing.
WHO also say that it's particularly important to put in place these protections during the day and early evening – due to their effects, special attention should be given to young children, pregnant women and women of reproductive age.
So if you're interested in using the best insect repellent to ward off the effects of zika-carrying mosquitoes, then why not go incognito®?

Qantas Boeing B737-800 Mendoowoorrji VH-XZJ Overview
Qantas Boeing B737-800
In the early 1990's Boeing worked on designing an aircraft that would replace older models of its popular 737 jetliner. On the 29th of June 1993, Boeing Launched the 737-X program after receiving an order from Southwest Airlines for 63 copies. This program resulted in the 737 Next Generation (737NG) family of aircraft and would include four different variants: the -600, -700, -800 and -900. The Next Generation 737's incorporate a larger wing, more powerful engines and are capable of flying longer-range routes with higher payloads than older 737 models. The 737-700 was the first variant to enter production and the first delivery was made to Southwest Airlines in December 1997.
The A380's upper deck extends along the entire length of the fuselage, with a width equivalent to a wide-body aircraft. This gives the A380-800's cabin 550 square metres (5,920 sq ft) of usable floor space, 40% more than the next largest airliner, the Boeing 747-8, and provides seating for 525 people in a typical three-class configuration or up to 853 people in an all-economy class configuration. The A380-800 has a design range of 8,500 nautical miles (15,700 km), serving the second longest non-stop scheduled flight in the world, and a cruising speed of Mach 0.85 (about 900 km/h, 560 mph or 490 kn at cruising altitude).
On the 5th of September 1994 the -800 was launched and the first aircraft was delivered to Hapag-Lloyd of Germany in the spring of 1998. The -800 is a longer version of the -700 and can carry up to 189 passengers in single class. SAS became the launch customer of the 737-600, the smallest of the Next Generation family with seating of 110 to 132 passengers. The first aircraft was delivered to SAS in the third quarter of 1998. The 737-900 is the longest version of the 737NG family and was launched on the 10th of November, 1997 with an order from Alaska Airlines. Boeing has also introduced the 737-900ER which offers greater range with a higher payload capacity. Today many of the Next Generation 737's incoporate blended winglets which can help to increase lift, reduce drag and reduce fuel consumption and engine wear.

DURING DRILLS TO prepare for treating victims of a mass shooting, staff members at the 12 Sentara Healthcare hospitals in Virginia and North Carolina ask people who are portraying victims to change into a hospital gown, regardless of whether their injuries are grave or minor. The request has nothing to do with providing medical care – rather, it's a safety measure that would help determine whether any of the people streaming into the hospital is concealing a weapon.
"We have to be cognizant that an [unapprehended] shooter may be among our victims, and we have to be prepared for that," says Patti Montes, manager of Sentara Healthcare's emergency management system. "We don't pat people down; we're not allowed to search people. We can certainly ask them to get undressed and put on a gown."
Throughout the country, health care officials are conducting real-life simulations to prepare to treat victims of a mass shooting. For decades, hospital officials have conducted drills to prepare for mass casualty events, like hurricanes, earthquakes and even volcano eruptions. Now, as mass shootings occur with greater frequency, many hospitals and health care systems are conducting drills to prepare specifically for treating victims of a mass firearms attack. Such simulations acknowledge the grim reality that another mass shooting could happen at any time.
"It's not a question of if it's going to happen again, but when it's going to happen again," says Dr. Scott Scherr, regional medical director for TeamHealth, Emergency Medicine West Group and chairman of emergency services for Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in Las Vegas. Scherr was in charge the October night when a gunman shot and killed 58 people attending an outdoor concert and injured more than 800 other people. Some of the injured were shot and wounded, and others were trampled and hurt as terrified concertgoers tried to flee the attack. Sunrise treated 215 victims that night.
Scherr's observation is borne out by FBI statistics. The FBI began tracking active shooter incidents – defined by the bureau as someone who's actively killing or trying to kill victims in a populated space – in 2000. In 2016 and 2017, collectively, there were 50 active shooting incidents, which killed 221 people and left 722 others wounded. Several mass shootings have occurred in the U.S. in the 11 months since the Las Vegas attack: Last February, for example, a gunman fatally shot 14 students and three staff members at Marjory Stoneman High School in Parkland, Florida, and three months later, in May, a gunman killed eight students and two teachers at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas.
One grim aspect of the mass shooting training doctors are undergoing is shifting physicians' mindsets from doing everything possible to save the life of someone who's grievously wounded to prioritizing who gets treated based on which patients have the best chance of surviving, says Dr. Stephanie Davis, a board member with the American College of Osteopathic Emergency Physicians. "In a mass casualty situation, you may [have] 20 patients come in all at once," Davis says. "We have to change our mindset, and think: 'Who can I save? Who can I not save?' It goes completely against everything our training tells us, which is that the sickest or most badly wounded person gets the most attention. I can't save everybody; I have to prioritize. It's something an [emergency room] physician has to train [himself or herself] to do."
This concept will be part of the training Davis oversees Oct. 20 in Chicago, where the ACOEP, in collaboration with Chicago public safety departments that include first responders, will conduct a mass casualty incident simulation. "The goal of the training is for doctors to know exactly what it's like to operate inside the epicenter of these tragedies, and to enable them to return home and create action plans specific to their hospital. We want communities across the country to be ready," Davis says.
Expanding the capacity of the emergency department quickly. Typically, emergency first responders notify hospital officials when they're transporting a victim or victims, providing some notice about the flow of incoming patients. But in a mass shooting, many victims will get to the hospital "in Ubers, taxis, in the back of a truck, by wheelbarrow – however they can," Scherr says. Minutes following the Las Vegas shootings, committed with high-powered rifles by Stephen Paddock, who fired from the 32nd floor of a nearby hotel, 100 people streamed into Sunrise without the assistance of emergency responders. A report by the Federal Emergency Management Agency found that local civilians assisted greatly in transporting victims out of the shooting area. Some victims had been shot and wounded; others had been knocked down and trampled as terrified concertgoers tried to escape the gunfire. "We tripled or quadrupled the capacity of our emergency department in a matter of minutes," Scherr says. Hospital personnel placed victims in hallways and in every available room not only in the emergency department, but in the pediatric emergency department and in the post-anesthesia care unit.
Mobilize doctors, nurses and first responders. When the scope of the Las Vegas attack became clear, Sunrise officials texted and called dozens of additional doctors and nurses to respond to the facility. At about 10 p.m. that night, before any of the shooting victims had arrived, the emergency department had four physicians and a handful of nurse practitioners or physician's assistants on duty. Within hours, more than 100 doctors and and about 200 nurses, nurse practitioners and other support staff were on hand to treat victims, Scherr says. Hospital officials also called in trained paramedics and emergency medical technicians from local fire departments, who helped conduct initial assessments of patients.
Devise a triage system to promptly assess large numbers of victims. Deciding which patients need to go immediately to the operating room and who can wait is crucial, Davis says. Depending on the number of casualties they're dealing with, officials at some hospitals may set up small tents outside their facility's entrance to quickly evaluate which patients need immediate assistance. Assigning a doctor exclusively to triage duty could be useful in responding to mass casualties. So could assessing victims by the START method, which stands for "simple triage and rapid treatment," Davis says. This approach is commonly used by hospital officials when they're responding to a mass casualty incident. "Patients are normally triaged based on their chief complaint or the possibility of they're having a severe injury or illness," she says. "However, in the START triage system during an MCI [mass casualty incident], patients are triaged based on their ability to walk, if they are breathing and how well they're breathing, and their mental status. That is, are they alert and answering questions?" With the START approach, a doctor or other medical provider would assess patients based on the severity and location of his or her wounds and assign a color to each victim: black for someone who's dead, red for those patients in critical condition who need immediate attention, yellow for victims with moderate injuries and green for those with less severe wounds.
Stop the bleeding as soon as possible. Bleeding from even a seemingly moderate wound or injury can cause someone to die within minutes. Nurses, support staff and even civilian bystanders can save lives by using tourniquets, applying direct pressure to a wound or packing it with gauze or other material, says Adam Zwislewski, a registered nurse and trauma educator and outreach coordinator at Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia. In a crisis, such as the aftermath of a mass shooting, nurses and other medical personnel can quickly teach civilians how to help stanch a patient's bleeding. "Anybody with a pair of hands can do it," Zwislewski says. Such on-the-fly training is common during mass casualty incidents, and ACOEP would like to see it become a routine part of medical providers' response, Davis says. "This is a major aspect of ACOEP's MCI training," she says. "We have to train physicians to teach bystanders effectively and quickly how to provide care."

Trump Assails Biden, Hints at 2024 Run for White House
Less than six weeks after leaving office, former U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday unleashed a torrent of attacks on his successor, contending President Joe Biden has had the "most disastrous first month in modern history" in the White House and strongly hinting he may try to reclaim the presidency in the 2024 election.
"In one short month, we've gone from America first to America last," Trump told a cheering crowd of hundreds of conservative supporters crammed into a hotel ballroom in Orlando, Florida.
"I may even decide to run again," Trump told the gathering at the Conservative Political Action Conference but ruled out forming a third party. He vowed to campaign for "strong, tough Republican leaders" to try to retake control of the House of Representatives and Senate in the 2022 congressional elections halfway through Biden's four-year term and then the White House two years later.
Republicans Hold Annual Conference With Trump Still at Center Stage
Prominent annual gathering for conservatives will feature speech by former president on Sunday
Trump was acquitted in a Senate trial in early February, with the chamber voting 57-43 to convict him, short of the two-thirds vote necessary for a conviction.
In his speech Sunday, Trump named all 10 Republicans in the House who voted to impeach him a week before he left office January 20 and all seven U.S. senators who voted to convict him in the five-day Senate trial.
"Get rid of them all," Trump demanded.
He said lawmakers who have attacked him are "a handful of Washington political hacks." He credited Democrats as being "smart" and "vicious," but said they "have bad policies."
Trump assailed Biden's dozens of executive orders, new directives that have overturned Trump's tough immigration policies to thwart migrants at the U.S.-Mexican border and called for the U.S. to rejoin the World Health Organization and the international Paris climate change agreement.
Trump's supporters booed at the mention of Biden rejoining the Paris accord.
He demanded that Biden reopen schools across the country, accusing him of fealty to teachers' unions, some of which oppose classroom instruction amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Trump attacked Biden's proposed $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package, saying a chunk of it would go to "bail out badly run Democrat cities."
With millions of Americans now being vaccinated, Trump said, "Never let them forget this was our plan."
The Biden White House dismissed Trump's speech.
"While the GOP casts about for a path forward, President Biden is going to remain laser-focused on crushing the virus, re-opening schools, and getting Americans back to work," White House spokesman Michael Gwin said after the speech.
Despite the cheers at the conservative gathering, Trump's political role in Republican circles in the coming months remains uncertain. A base of Trump voters remains loyal for sure, but some Washington lawmakers are skeptical of his staying power and some appear to be planning their own 2024 presidential campaigns.
U.S. Senators Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton, former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley and others are eyeing a run for the presidency. Haley has specifically said it is time for the party to move past the Trump era.
Trump is the only president in U.S. history to be twice impeached and twice acquitted and the first president in 90 years to lose political control of the White House and both chambers of Congress in a single term in office.
Conservatives at the three-day conference repeatedly cheered mention of his name, with many of them posing for pictures with a large golden caricature of his face that was sculpted in Mexico and was wheeled around the convention hall.
Asked whether Trump still controls the Republican Party, Senator Rick Scott of Florida told the "Fox News Sunday" show, "It's the voters' party." But he said he believes Trump is "going to be helpful" in the immediate future.
"We're on the right side of the issues," Scott said of Republicans. "The Democrats are on the wrong side."
But one Republican lawmaker who voted to convict Trump on the impeachment charge, Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, told CNN that if Republicans reclaim the White House in four years, "it will be because we speak to the issues, not by putting one person (Trump) on a pedestal. CPAC is not the entirety of the Republican Party."
"You've got to speak to voters who didn't vote for us last time," Cassidy said. "If we idolize one person, we will lose."
"I don't think he'll be our nominee," Cassidy said. "We need a person who lifts all boats."

Good morning programmers!! I just had a brainwave that would save mouse clicks when designing cabinets and I think it would be very easy to implement.
- in the constructions settings dialog add a checkbox on the tab of each part that you check to make the part a phantom part.
So for instance, I add a top to my base cabinets to get the dadoes on the sides but I make it a phantom part and then we use scraps that we have laying about to make stringers for the sides that fit into the dadoes. If the check box existed then it would save me reopening a dialog to change the top to a phantom part.
I agree with you. It would also be great if the same thing could be added to the stretcher editor, as well as having the ability to add part names so that we could give the stretchers a meaningful name as they are added.

Lidečko (, v letech 1939–1945 Klein Litsch) je obec v okrese Vsetín ve Zlínském kraji, 16 km jižně od Vsetína v údolí řeky Senice. Žije zde  obyvatel.

Historie
Název obce Lidečko se používal od počátku její historie (1424), kdy obec, tehdy v brumovském panství, král Zikmund předal do zástavy Miroslavovi z Cimburka. Od roku (1850) patřila obec do okresu Valašské Klobouky, okresu Uherský Brod (1869–1931), okresu Valašské Klobouky (1950) a okresu Vsetín (1961–1970). Součástí obce jsou samoty Popelišovy Paseky a Račné.

První písemná zmínka o obci pochází tedy z roku 1424. Nejstarší dochovaný otisk obecní pečeti je na dokumentech rektifikačních akt z roku 1749,

Spolky
V obci působí 15 zájmových spolků a sdružení.

Škola
Roku 1645 byl na lidečskou faru dosazen Tomáš Fabricius. V soupise obročí k roku 1651 farář uvedl, že fara i škola jsou podle jeho mínění v pořádku. V roce 1837 byla postavena nová škola. Od roku 1890 je již škola trojtřídní a v roce 1893 se dočkala nové budovy.

Pamětihodnosti

 Kostel svaté Kateřiny Sinajské je nejstarší historickou památkou z roku 1700. Kostel byl vystavěn na místě původního kostela z roku 1511. Tento původní kostel byl zničen po tatarských nájezdech v 17. století. Jsou zde tři zvony z roku 1665.

Imagine walking down the aisle on your wedding day. You're gloriously happy, basking in the glow of the vows you are exchanging with your soul mate. Until, that is, the clergyman asks your betrothed whether he or she will take you "Til death do you part". At that point, your beloved returns not with the anticipated "I do" but rather "I'll hang around until 2012 but after that I'm most likely hightailing it out of here."
Would you go through with it? And if you did, would you consider it a good marriage if your spouse actually did leave after two years? Would you consider it a successful venture as long as he or she was a pretty good partner for those two years?
I imagine not, because whatever other sterling qualities your short-lived help-meet might possess, commitment is not one of them. There's a lot to be said for dedication to a cause. That's why the traditional anniversary gift for the second year of marriage is cotton and the 25th silver.
That's also why programs like TFA are always failures. A two year commitment isn't a commitment at all. It's a jaunt, an experience, or perhaps a resume filler, but the TFAer can never be a real success as long as his or her career has a built in escape hatch.
My purpose today isn't to bash TFA (if you want that, do a search of this blog and you'll find plenty). Rather, I'd like to answer those people who wonder why a 22 year veteran teacher should make so much more than a rookie. Think of it like that marriage. No spouse is perfect, but you want someone who is dedicated--not one who plans to run off before the ink dries on the marriage certificate. A great spouse is one who sticks it out, learns from mistakes, and plans to be there through thick and thin. A great spouse is dedicated to making things work, not just in year 1 but in year 41 as well, knowing that in the long haul dedication and commitment will pay off. The irony is that dedicating your life to someone means you have to work harder each and every day to make it work--a lot harder sometimes than the person who feels free to leave the marriage whenever they want.
Dedication is also a key factor in teacher quality. A teacher who is willing to dedicate his or her life to teaching is always, in the long run, a better teacher than the fly-by-night TFA type. When teaching is in your blood, when it is part of your identity, when it is how you plan to spend the majority of your adult life, then you are willing to do the work, make the mistakes, and reap the rewards that are due you. You will work longer, harder, and better than the person who sees teaching as a pit stop on the way to their 'true' career.
Even the most dedicated spouse needs incentives to keep going. Children, financial stability, and long term life plans are frequent motivators. For teachers, financial rewards, along with security and respect, were long time motivators. Now that job security has been eroded by our own union, and the respect that once belonged to teachers has been bought and spit on by billionaires like Bloomberg, Murdoch, Gates and Broad, financial rewards are the only ones left in tact.
The deform billionaires are going after that last remaining incentive. They want all the benefits of dedicated teachers without actually having to pay for them. They'd like to offer us all beginning wages and have us fight for whatever merit pay scraps they throw our way.
I don't know about you, but I don't want my child taught by someone with just two years worth of dedication. I want teachers who see the profession as a calling and as a privilege, and who want to hone their craft over time so that they can reap all the benefits that teaching has traditionally conferred on those willing to stick it out.
Mayor Bloomberg would like the right to give all of us a quickie divorce. Let's not give him that chance.
My feeling is they're looking at bottom line and don't really give a damn about quality. All that talk about being able to lay off senior teachers so as to save high-quality newbies is nonsense.
These folks wouldn't know a good teacher if one were beating them over the head.
I agree with nyc educator. I couldn't say it better myself.
It's all about paying someone as inexpensively as possible and to dilute the union.
None of these people really care about educating our children. They want a population that will serve them and "yes" them to death. If they really cared, they would look at the system they created and see how faulty it is.
It's another step in the deprofessionalization of education. The World Bank is behind the efforts to privatize public education--worldwide. A Google search of Lois Weiner is a good place to start.
AT's analogy is spot on!
How do you spell commitment? T-W-O-Y-E-A-R-S!
Our children are nothing else but stepping-stone to the TFA's advancement of becoming education policy makers.
It's unfair to our children who need stability in their lives and the teaching profession is not a stint career.

Freehold freed of wetlands
by CCNB Action
The J.D. Irving project was registered for an Environmental Impact Assessment with the Department of Environment on February 8, 2011. It was released from this EIA process on April 8, 2011. In the letter, the Department of Environment indicates that the proposed project "no longer requires registration under the EIA Regulation, as the GeoNB [Regulated Wetlands Map] map does not currently identify wetlands located on Freehold properties. The EIA registration fee will be refunded…".
"Since the GeoNB map doesn't map wetlands on the industrial Freehold lands of New Brunswick, Minister Blaney has in effect given the forestry companies who own that land, carte blanche to destroy wetlands and ignore buffer requirements specified by regulation in the Clean Water Act," Said David Coon, Executive Director for CCNB Action. "She must issue an immediate clarification that if a wetland doesn't appear on her map the law must still be obeyed," Said Coon.
The Clean Water Act requires proponents that intend to encroach on wetland buffers or damage wetlands larger than 1 ha in area to apply for a permit from the Department of Environment. If the Wetlands are larger than 2 ha, the proposed activity must be registered for Environmental Review under the Clean Environment Act.
Last week, CCNB Action released evidence that the Minister of Environment had given developers 16 properties containing confirmed wetlands permission to abandon any regulatory processes relating to wetlands protection because the wetlands do not appear on the Province's Regulated Wetland Map.
Freehold land makes up 22% of the total land base of the province or close to 1.5 million hectares.
"This represents a huge portion of our wetlands that are completely free to be filled in, no questions asked", says Stephanie Merrill, CCNB Action's Freshwater Protection Program Coordinator. "How can the minister pretend that these wetlands on industrial freehold land don't exist?" she asks.
CCNB Action believes she can't, according to the Clean Water Act.

I think all the project teams in my department are finally using Task Boards. We're split between an Atlanta office and New York office so we still keep our electronic version as the master. We use Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) to track all work items (Features, Tasks, Bugs, and Tests). We use Telerik Work Item Manager 2010 to print our work items into cute little cards with descriptions to move around on the task boards.
Each team came up with their own task board location and layout (e.g., column labels). Some teams use bug or test case task board items while others stick with just Features/User Stories. The variety of approaches is necessary because some teams work on smaller-scale low-risk projects while other teams work on highly complex SOX compliant applications that require more rigor.
Here are a couple good ones.
...making your velocity public is classy.
This one is way too confusing. I think that white board would be much better used as a space to diagram ideas. I just see chunks of stuff. I have no idea what is being worked on.
This one is just ugly. This was a technical debt iteration but after the initial card print-outs, everybody got lazy and just drew work item numbers with a marker. The testers wasted about 30 minutes per day trying to determine what each number represented so they could move them to the correct column as testing completed.
We often get TFS and its respective task board out of sync. This means the task board can mislead.
Adding/Moving work items on the task board is extra administrative work. Sometimes we get lazy and just write work item #'s on the white board. We quickly forget what these represent. That is one advantage to cork boards (you can't write on cork boards).
Management types don't have to ask as many questions, they can look at the task boards instead.
When stakeholders ask for extra stuff, we can point to the task board and say "no problem, just tell us what we should remove from the iteration".- the team gets an extra simple view of how the work is proceding.
Instead of staring at each other's ugly mugs, we can look at the task board during scrum meetings.
It is easier to get excited about team accomplishments when your work is public.
We Test For Quality But Who Cares?


We've had many people ask us to show them around our village here on the western side of Bangkok. Today we take a ride around and show you life as a Thai living in a modern Thai village. Ove the last 8 years, we've lived in 3 of these villages, or Moo Barns as they are called in the Thai language. The first wasn't anywhere near as busy as this one but was only about 200 meters from a market so quite convenient. The second one was called Moo Barn Phetkasem 2 which was quite populated, but nowhere near as commercial as this one.
Out of all 3, I do prefer the conveniences offered here and I'm sure if I looked hard enough, there might even be a Gym which would save me riding up the road 3 km to our nearest one. Besides, Gym's aren't all that much fun unless you have someone to hang out with and spur you along with your training exercise.
Of course, some people might ask why I would want to live in a populated village like this. For me it is quite simple, when I lived in Australia, houses were fairly separate from each other and in some respects, lonely. Everyone kept to themselves so you often felt separated from the social surrounding. Living here, I feel connected to the village and I purchase within the village which supports the livelihood of everyone living here.
Oh yea, and typical for this time of year, it rained again.
Previous Bargain hunting at the market, and it rains!
Next It's time to get fit. 6 pack coming soon!

# Relational Databases and SQL
## The SQL Execution Model

# Relational Databases and SQL
*	A relational database can be accessed and modified by executing SQL statements
	*	SQL allows
		*	Defining / modifying the database schema
		*	Searching / modifying table data
	*	A set of SQL commands are available for extracting subset of the table data
	*	Most SQL commands return a `single value` or `record set`

# Communicating with the DB

# SQL Execution
*	SQL commands are executed through a `database connection`
	*	DB connection is a channel between the client and the SQL server
	*	DB connections take resources and should be closed when no longer used
	*	Multiple clients can be connected to the SQL server at the same time
	*	SQL commands can be executed in parallel
		*	Transactions and isolation deal with concurrency

# SQL
## Introduction

# What is SQL?
*	`Structured Query Language` (SQL)
	*	Declarative language for query and manipulation of relational data
	*	[wiki/SQL](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL)
*	SQL consists of:
	*	Data Manipulation Language (`DML`)
		*	`SELECT`, `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, `DELETE`
	*	Data Definition Language (`DDL`)
		*	`CREATE`, `DROP`, `ALTER`
		*	`GRANT`, `REVOKE`

# SQL – Few Examples

```sql
SELECT FirstName, LastName, JobTitle FROM Employees
```
```sql
SELECT * FROM Projects WHERE StartDate = '1-JAN-06'
```
```sql
INSERT INTO Projects(Name, StartDate)
VALUES('Introduction to SQL Course', '1-JAN-06')
```
```sql
UPDATE Projects
SET EndDate = '31-AUG-06'
WHERE StartDate = '1-JAN-06'
```
```sql
DELETE FROM Projects
WHERE StartDate = '1-JAN-06'
```

# SQL Language
## Introducing SELECT Statement

# Capabilities of SQL SELECT

# Database Schema in SQL Server

# Basic SELECT Statement
```sql
SELECT *|{[DISTINCT] column|expression [alias],...}
FROM	table
```
*	`SELECT` identifies what columns
*	`FROM` identifies which table

# SELECT Example
```sql
SELECT * FROM Departments
```

```sql
SELECT DepartmentID, Name FROM Departments
```

# Arithmetic Operations
*	Arithmetic operators are available:
	*	`+`, `-`, `*`, `/`
*	Examples:

```sql
SELECT (2 + 3) * 4 FROM CATEGORIES   --> returns 20
```
```sql
SELECT LastName, Salary, Salary + 300 FROM Employees
```

# The NULL Value
*	A `NULL` is a value that is unavailable, unassigned, unknown, or inapplicable
	*	Not the same as zero or a blank space
*	Arithmetic expressions containing a `NULL` value are evaluated to `NULL`

```sql
SELECT LastName, ManagerID FROM Employees
```

# Column Aliases
*	Aliases rename a column heading
*	Useful with calculations
*	Immediately follows the column name
	*	There is an optional `AS` keyword
*	Double quotation marks if contains spaces

```sql
SELECT FirstName, LastName, Salary,
Salary * 0.2 AS Bonus FROM Employees
```

# Concatenation Operator
*	Concatenates columns or character strings to other columns
* `concat([string], [string])`
*	Creates a resultant column that is a character expression

```sql
SELECT concat(FirstName, concat(' ', LastName)) AS [Full Name],
EmployeeID as [No.] FROM Employees
```

# Literal Character Strings
*	A literal is a character, a number, or a date included in the `SELECT` list
	*	Date and character literal values must be enclosed within single quotation marks
	*	Each character string is output once for each row returned

```sql
SELECT concat(FirstName, concat('''s last name is ' +
LastName)) AS [Our Employees] FROM Employees
```

# Removing Duplicate Rows
*	The default display of queries is all rows, including duplicate rows

```sql
SELECT DepartmentID
FROM Employees
```

*	Eliminate duplicate rows by using the `DISTINCT` keyword in the SELECT clause

```sql
SELECT
  DISTINCT DepartmentID
FROM Employees
```

# Set Operations: UNION, INTERSECT and EXCEPT
*	`UNION` combines the results from several SELECT statements
	*	The columns count and types should match

```sql
SELECT FirstName AS Name
FROM Employees
UNION
SELECT LastName AS Name
FROM Employees
```

*	`INTERSECT`/`EXCEPT` perform logical intersection/difference between given two sets of records

# Limiting the Rows Selected
*	Restrict the rows returned by using the WHERE clause:

```sql
SELECT LastName, DepartmentID
FROM Employees WHERE DepartmentID = 1
```

*	More examples:

```sql
SELECT FirstName, LastName, DepartmentID FROM
Employees WHERE LastName = 'Sullivan'
```
```sql
SELECT LastName, Salary FROM Employees
WHERE Salary <= 20000
```

# Other Comparison Conditions
*	Using `BETWEEN` operator to specify a range:

```sql
SELECT LastName, Salary FROM Employees
WHERE Salary BETWEEN 20000 AND 22000
```
*	Using `IN`/`NOT IN` to specify a set of values:

```sql
SELECT FirstName, LastName, ManagerID FROM
Employees WHERE ManagerID IN (109, 3, 16)
```
*	Using `LIKE` operator to specify a pattern:

```sql
SELECT FirstName FROM Employees WHERE FirstName LIKE 'S%'
```
*	`%` means 0 or more chars; `_` means one char

# Comparing with NULL
*	Checking for `NULL` value:

```sql
SELECT LastName, ManagerId FROM Employees
WHERE ManagerId IS NULL
```
```sql
SELECT LastName, ManagerId FROM Employees
WHERE ManagerId IS NOT NULL
```
*	Attention: `COLUMN = NULL` is always false!

```sql
SELECT LAST_NAME, MANAGER_ID FROM EMPLOYEES
WHERE MANAGER_ID = NULL
```
```sql
SELECT LAST_NAME, MANAGER_ID FROM EMPLOYEES
WHERE NULL = NULL
```

This is always false!

This is always false!

# Logical Operators and Brackets
*	Using `NOT`, `OR` and `AND` operators and brackets:

```sql
SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Employees
WHERE Salary >= 20000 AND LastName LIKE 'C%'
```
```sql
SELECT LastName FROM Employees
WHERE ManagerID IS NOT NULL OR LastName LIKE '%so_'
```
```sql
SELECT LastName FROM Employees
WHERE NOT (ManagerID = 3 OR ManagerID = 4)
```
```sql
SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Employees
WHERE
    (ManagerID = 3 OR ManagerID = 4) AND
    (Salary >= 20000 OR ManagerID IS NULL)
```

# Sorting with ORDER BY
*	Sort rows with the `ORDER BY` clause
	*	`ASC`: ascending order, default
	*	`DESC`: descending order

```sql
SELECT LastName, HireDate FROM
Employees ORDER BY HireDate
```
```sql
SELECT LastName, HireDate FROM
Employees ORDER BY HireDate DESC
```

# SQL Language
## Joins: Selecting Data From Multiple Tables

# Data from Multiple Tables
*	Sometimes you need data from more than one table:

# Cartesian Product
*	This will produce Cartesian product:
```sql
SELECT LastName, Name AS DepartmentName
FROM Employees, Departments
```
*	The result:

# Cartesian Product
*	A Cartesian product is formed when:
	*	A join condition is omitted
	*	A join condition is invalid
	*	All rows in the first table are joined to all rows in the second table
*	To avoid a Cartesian product, always include a valid join condition

# Types of Joins
*	Inner joins
*	Left, right and full outer joins
*	Cross joins

# Inner Join with ON Clause
*	To specify arbitrary conditions or specify columns to join, the `ON` clause is used
	*	Such `JOIN` is called also `INNER JOIN`

```sql
SELECT e.EmployeeID, e.LastName, e.DepartmentID,
       d.DepartmentID, d.Name AS DepartmentName
FROM Employees e
  INNER JOIN Departments d
    ON e.DepartmentID = d.DepartmentID
```

# Equijoins
*	Inner joins with join conditions pushed down to the `WHERE` clause

```sql
SELECT e.EmployeeID, e.LastName, e.DepartmentID,
       d.DepartmentID, d.Name AS DepartmentName
FROM Employees e, Departments d
WHERE e.DepartmentID = d.DepartmentID
```

# INNER vs. OUTER Joins
*	`Inner join`
	*	A join of two tables returning only rows matching the join condition
*	`Left` (or `right`) `outer join`
	*	Returns the results of the inner join as well as unmatched rows from the left (or right) table
*	`Full outer join`
	*	Returns the results of an inner join as well as the results of a left and right join

# INNER JOIN
```sql
SELECT e.LastName EmpLastName,
       m.EmployeeID MgrID, m.LastName MgrLastName
FROM Employees e INNER JOIN Employees m
  ON e.ManagerID = m.EmployeeID
```

# LEFT OUTER JOIN
```sql
SELECT e.LastName EmpLastName,
       m.EmployeeID MgrID, m.LastName MgrLastName
FROM Employees e LEFT OUTER JOIN Employees m
  ON e.ManagerID = m.EmployeeID
```

# RIGHT OUTER JOIN
```sql
SELECT e.LastName EmpLastName,
       m.EmployeeID MgrID, m.LastName MgrLastName
FROM Employees e RIGHT OUTER JOIN Employees m
  ON e.ManagerID = m.EmployeeID
```

# FULL OUTER JOIN
```sql
SELECT e.LastName EmpLastName,
       m.EmployeeID MgrID, m.LastName MgrLastName
FROM employee e FULL OUTER JOIN employee m
  ON e.ManagerID = m.EmployeeID
```

# Three-Way Joins
*	A three-way join is a join of three tables
```sql
SELECT e.FirstName, e.LastName,
  t.Name as Towns, a.AddressText
FROM Employees e
  JOIN Addresses a
    ON e.AddressID = a.AddressID
  JOIN Towns t
    ON a.TownID = t.TownID
```

# Self-Join
*	Self-join means to join a table to itself
	*	Always used with table aliases
```sql
SELECT e.FirstName + ' ' + e.LastName +
 ' is managed by ' + m.LastName as Message
FROM Employees e JOIN Employees m
ON (e.ManagerId = m.EmployeeId)
```

# Cross Join
*	The `CROSS JOIN` clause produces the cross-product of two tables
	*	Same as a Cartesian product
	*	Not often used

```sql
SELECT LastName [Last Name], Name [Dept Name]
FROM Employees CROSS JOIN Departments
```

# Additional Conditions
*	You can apply additional conditions in the `WHERE` clause:

```sql
SELECT e.EmployeeID, e.LastName, e.DepartmentID,
       d.DepartmentID, d.Name AS DepartmentName
FROM Employees e
  INNER JOIN Departments d
    ON e.DepartmentID = d.DepartmentID
WHERE d.Name = 'Sales'
```

# Complex Join Conditions
*	Joins can use any Boolean expression in the `ON` clause:
```sql
SELECT e.FirstName, e.LastName, d.Name as DeptName
FROM Employees e
  INNER JOIN Departments d
  ON (e.DepartmentId = d.DepartmentId
  AND e.HireDate > '1/1/1999'
  AND d.Name IN ('Sales', 'Finance'))
```

# SQL Language
## Inserting Data in Tables

# Inserting Data
*	`INSERT` command
	*	`INSERT INTO <table> VALUES (<values>)`
	*	`INSERT INTO <table>(<columns>) VALUES (<values>)`
	*	`INSERT INTO <table> SELECT <values>`

```sql
INSERT INTO EmployeesProjects VALUES (229, 25)
```
```sql
INSERT INTO Projects(Name, StartDate)
VALUES ('New project', GETDATE())
```
```sql
INSERT INTO Projects(Name, StartDate)
  SELECT Name + ' Restructuring', GETDATE()
  FROM Departments
```

# Bulk Insert
*	Bulk `INSERT` can insert multiple values through a single SQL command
```sql
INSERT INTO EmployeesProjects VALUES
 (229, 1),
 (229, 2),
 (229, 3),
 (229, 4),
 (229, 5),
 (229, 6),
 (229, 8),
 (229, 9),
 (229, 10),
 (229, 11),
 (229, 12),
 (229, 26)
```

# SQL Language
## Updating Data in Tables

# Updating Joined Tables
*	We can update tables based on condition from joined tables
```sql
UPDATE Employees
SET JobTitle = 'Senior ' + JobTitle
FROM Employees e
  JOIN Departments d
    ON e.DepartmentID = d.DepartmentID
WHERE d.Name = 'Sales'
```

# Updating Data
*	`UPDATE` command
	*	`UPDATE <table> SET <column=expression> WHERE <condition>`
	*	_Note_: Don't forget the `WHERE` clause!

```sql
UPDATE Employees
SET LastName = 'Brown'
WHERE EmployeeID = 1

UPDATE Employees
SET Salary = Salary * 1.10,
  JobTitle = 'Senior ' + JobTitle
WHERE DepartmentID = 3
```

# SQL Language
## Deleting Data From Tables

# Deleting Data
*	Deleting rows from a table
	*	`DELETE FROM <table> WHERE <condition>`
	*	_Note_: Don't forget the `WHERE` clause!

```sql
DELETE FROM Employees WHERE EmployeeID = 1
DELETE FROM Employees WHERE LastName LIKE 'S%'
```

*	Delete all rows from a table at once
	*	`TRUNCATE TABLE <table>`

```sql
TRUNCATE TABLE Users
```

# Deleting from Joined Tables
*	We can delete records from tables based on condition from joined tables

```sql
DELETE FROM Employees
FROM Employees e
  JOIN Departments d
    ON e.DepartmentID = d.DepartmentID
WHERE d.Name = 'Sales'
```

Supreme court upholds result of Kenyan presidential re-election.
Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta of the multi-party Jubilee Alliance will be sworn-in for a second term at Nairobi's Safaricom Kasarani Stadium on 28 November after the supreme court upheld his re-election in the 26 October poll.
The court dismissed two petitions challenging the election result, which Kenyatta won with 98 per cent of the vote but which was boycotted by the main opposition leader Raila Odinga of the National Super Alliance (NASA).
The court did not detail its reasons for upholding the election result but said it would issue a full judgment within 21 days.
The political climate in Kenya remains tense since the presidential re-election with sporadic clashes occurring in opposition strongholds. Several people were killed in Nairobi on 19 November as police tried to break up a convoy of NASA supporters.
The presidential re-run followed the contentious 8 August election which saw Kenyatta declared the winner by a margin of 1.4 million votes. However the result was annulled subsequently by the supreme court due to widespread electoral irregularities.

Help, please.
A rather cardboard male character in my WIP needs a job. It (he) must be compassionate, not too well paid, terribly worthwhile, (fairly) interesting, and involve some travelling (so that he can have illicit couplings with one of my heroines. He's married). I've racked my brains, and can only come up with medical things. Has anyone any ideas, please? At the moment, he's an oncologist, but I don't think he's really got what it takes. I've been trying to solve this problem for about three weeks, and am totally stuck.
C. N. Nevets 8 October 2010 at 04:07
Butcher?
Okay, maybe not. Hmmm...How much travelling? Would a job with two or three conferences a year do it, or does the travelling need to be more frequent? Likewise, from the other direction, should he be on the road all the time, or should there be significant time at home?
mattfwcurran.com Web Admin 8 October 2010 at 07:15
Hi Frances
What do you mean by travelling? If it's abroad, then perhaps an aid worker or someone working for Raleigh International. If we're talking more local, then perhaps someone working for a big charity like Oxfam or something. Even they do the odd conference here and there. Other than that, like you I'm stuck with medical professions too!
Keith Havers 8 October 2010 at 08:54
My son travels around the country(and the world too occasionally) as a repair/maintenance engineer for printing machines. Most of his trips are to factories but as his repair skills include heater/dryers he sometimes visits hospitals and surgeries. He can get quite filthy though sometimes.
This may give you some ideas.
Human Resources manager for a charity? Would have to travel to different shops/offices in the UK and abroad, but still be a 'ground-roots' approachable kind of figure to gauge how the workers are feeling.
He could care about equal pay, equal rights and all that. A fair, square kinda guy.
That's all I can come up with. It's difficult to think of jobs that aren't soulless. That's sad.
Thanks, everyone. I particularly like the charities ideas. The travel would involve perhaps 3 conferences /year, in England.
Another option would be work as a school psychologist or a trauma response therapist. Doing good work without being flashy per se, with usually two or three conferences and training events a year.
From my experience, social workers typically don't have as many conferences, but if they have a specialty they can be asked to travel to other cities to help when there are crises or new initiatives.
That's an idea, Nevets. Thanks! I like the idea of training events (all those "getting to know you" exercises; all that dividing into small groups and brainstorming, with flip charts...oh, happy days)

A fourth category of impact prediction approaches in environmental impact studies is environmental indices (Ott 1978). An environmental index is a mathematical or descriptive presentation of information factors used for classifying environmental quality and sensitivity and predicting the impacts of a proposed project or activity. The basic concept for impact prediction is to anticipate and quantify the change in the environmental index as a result of the project or activity, and then to consider the difference in the index from the with- and without-project conditions as a measure of impact. Numerous environmental indices have been developed for air quality, water quality, noise, visual quality, and quality of life (a socioeconomic index which can include a large number of specific factors). One widely used type of index is based on habitat considerations and uses the Habitat Evaluation Procedures developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (1980) or a Habitat Evaluation System developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (1980). This system is based on the development of a numerical index to describe habitat quality and size. A key advantage of index approaches for impact prediction is that these approaches can be related to available information and they provide a systematic basis for considering the consequences of a project or activity.
The fifth category of impact prediction approaches is experimental methods. These methods encompass the conduction of laboratory experiments to develop factors or coefficients for mathematical models, and the conduction of large-scale field experiments to measure changes in environmental features as a result of system perturbations. In addition, physical models are used to examine impacts related to hydrodynamics and ecological changes within microcosms of environmental settings. Experimental methods are primarily useful in dealing with physical-chemical components and biological features of the environmental setting.

Florence Evelyn Wadsack was born October 8, 1920, at the family homestead twenty-nine miles northeast of Garden City. Florence attended Solid Rock rural School in eastern Finney County for grades first through seventh. In 1933, she enrolled at Andrew Sabine Junior High School in Garden City and lived with her grandparents until she graduated from high school in 1938. After high school, she attended the Garden City Junior College where she received a sixty-hour teaching certificate in 1940. Florence taught school for one year and then married Wallace Wilson on May 4, 1941. The couple were married in Garden City, they were blessed with three sons, Calvin, Marvin, and Tom. Mr. Wilson passed away in 2002. There was a memorial set up in his honor and Mrs. Wilson donated many, many books to our library in his honor.
Mrs. Wilson began teaching in Garden City in 1940. She taught at several of the elementary schools over the years. In 1964, she received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from Emporia State University. She retired from teaching in 1979. Florence always used a very positive approach with children.
Mrs. Wilson stated that a rocking chair was an essential part of her first grade classroom, because she felt that children needed a personal touch and a loving arm around them. In the reading pit at Florence Wilson Elementary School, there is a rocking chair which Mrs. Wilson sits in and reads to students on Fridays.
Mrs. Wilson received many honors in recognition of her commitment to education. She was named Outstanding Teacher of Garden City in 1978. She was runner-up for Kansas Teacher of the Year in 1979. In 1985, she was inducted into the Kansas Teacher Hall of Fame in Dodge City. She was presented a Distinguished Alumni Award in 1988 from Emporia State University. In 1993, the Mayor of Garden City proclaimed May 21 as Florence Wilson Day.
