If you havenâ€™t seen this already, take a look. This guy over on Reddit posted this and it looks pretty fantastic.
Would love to see this integrated into some fan edits, and makes it really come together to make sense of why Holdo doesnâ€™t tell anyone her plan. Thoughts?
Perhaps competent isnâ€™t the right word. What bugs me about her character is that she comes out of nowhere, weâ€™re suddenly supposed to just go along with her plan (which the audience doesnâ€™t know about), and then in the end, she saves the day?
Thatâ€™s a really cool video, and really impressive roto work!
I donâ€™t think weâ€™re supposed to go along with her, I think weâ€™re supposed to be suspicious of her like Poe is. Then weâ€™re surprised (like Poe) when she actually has a plan and saves the day.
I think the problem from a character perspective is that she does nothing to reassure anyone that she knows what sheâ€™s doing, creating growing animosity that leads to a mutiny.
One explanation that I thought while watching it was that she couldnâ€™t trust anyone after being tracked through hyperspace. It reminded me of Battlestar Galactica, when they kept getting followed through light speed because someone planted a tracking device on their ship. If Holdo is suspicious of a traitor, she might keep her plans more secret. However, this is not really addressed in the film, so it comes off as a plot contrivance.
Youâ€™re right â€”Â I see what Rian Johnson was going for. With that said, I donâ€™t like it. I get it, but it doesnâ€™t sit well with me at all because in the end, she is suddenly embraced by Leia as a friend. Itâ€™s as if weâ€™re suddenly supposed to be okay with this stranger making these great sacrifices, despite her abrasive attitude.
I have the same head canon â€” yes, she couldnâ€™t trust anyone. Unlike Battlestar Galactica, however, they didnâ€™t say this in The Last Jedi. The thing I like about this guy putting Ackbar back into the film is that it explains that theyâ€™re not discussing the plan for that very reason. That makes Holdoâ€™s abrasive attitude make so much more sense and actually allows the audience to feel more appreciative for her sacrifice.
His technique of creating a background plate could also be used to put in any character there. If Ackbar was unconvincing, you could even film a new shot with an actor in Resistance garb.
The rotoscoping and Ackbar being in his ROTJ outfit just doesnâ€™t make it 100% convincing for me.
One problem with Holdo is that a lot of her original dialogue didnâ€™t work in the edit and had to be redone with ADR and limited reshoots. The result is a Laura Dern performance of one version of Holdo replaced with different dialogue in a lot of scenes, and to me itâ€™s a factor in why it sometimes feels off. Originally Holdo was more â€œspaced out and hippy dippyâ€� in Rianâ€™s words, and was supposed to be more overtly flirtatious with Poe.
That â€œLune Lovegoodâ€� personality that disappeared in the film is actually still present in the novel Leia: Princess of Alderaan, which is about when Leia learned that her father was a part of the Rebellion and then joined it herself, around the age of 16. A young Holdo is also present in the book, and her personality is apparently pretty eccentric in there. Clearly Claudia Gray wrote it before they changed her character in the edit. I guess you could write it off as her personality maturing as she got older.
I would really like to see the alternate version of those scenes and actually see how â€œspaced outâ€� she really was. I wonder exactly why that didnâ€™t work in the edit. Did her quirks make it seem ridiculous that she would be in charge? Was it just too weird?
A part of me wonders if some pertinent info may have been lost by making that change. Would people have understood her more by the end of it with those alternate lines?
Rian said it was too much, too strong. I just wish this was something that was detected and dealt with on the page in a draft as opposed to in the edit/reshoots. I do think LDâ€™s performance suffers from it in a way thatâ€™s hard to put your finger on. Thereâ€™s also some really obvious ADR(especially with headphones).

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA‘s Alternative, the Mars rover that was constructed to function for simply three months however stored going and going, was pronounced useless Wednesday, 15 years after it landed on the purple planet.
The six-wheeled automobile that helped collect essential proof that historical Mars might need been hospitable to life was remarkably spry up till eight months in the past, when it was lastly doomed by a ferocious mud storm.
Flight controllers tried quite a few instances to make contact and despatched one last sequence of restoration instructions Tuesday evening together with one final wake-up track, Billie Vacation’s “I’ll Be Seeing You.” There was no response from house, solely silence.
In the long run, Alternative set endurance and distance data that would stand for years, if not a long time.
Trundling alongside till communication ceased final June, Alternative roamed a document 45 kilometres round Mars and labored longer than every other lander — anyplace, ever.
Its best achievement was discovering, together with Spirit, proof that historical Mars had water flowing on its floor and might need been able to sustaining microbial life.
Alternative was exploring Mars’ Perseverance Valley, fittingly, when the fiercest mud storm in a long time hit and make contact with was misplaced. The storm was so intense that it darkened the sky for months, stopping daylight from reaching the rover’s photo voltaic panels.
When the sky lastly cleared, Alternative remained silent, its inner clock presumably so scrambled that it not knew when to sleep or get up to obtain instructions. Flight controllers despatched greater than 1,000 restoration instructions, all in useless.
With mission prices reaching about $500,000 a month, NASA determined there was no level in persevering with.
Because it grew to become clear the rover was about to be declared useless, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine mentioned that he was encountering individuals “a bit choked up” however that the final temper was considered one of celebration.
Scientists contemplate this the tip of an period, now that Alternative and Spirit are each gone.
Alternative was the fifth of eight spacecraft to efficiently land on Mars to date, all belonging to NASA. Solely two stay working: the nuclear-powered Curiosity rover, prowling round since 2012, and the just lately arrived InSight, which simply this week positioned a heat-sensing, self-hammering probe on the dusty purple floor to burrow deep into the planet like a mole.
Three extra landers — from the U.S., China and Europe — are on account of launch subsequent 12 months.
Bridenstine mentioned the overriding aim is to seek for proof of previous and even current microbial life at Mars and discover appropriate areas to ship astronauts, maybe within the 2030s.

Must Follow On Instagram: On Instagram, exactly what you see is exactly what you get: unless you're not seeing anything because you aren't following fellow picture-takers. Instagram differs Pinterest, where every little thing is clearly laid out prior to you on a display (as well as which has awesome applications making this simpler); as well as Facebook, where friending is based upon your partnership as well as not a certain skill. By contrast, this emerging social networks network presses us to look for a much more narrow group of individuals.
As on Twitter, you could see that people are following and also that they are adhered to by on Instagram. Rather than aiming to the list of people that your friend-whose-photos-you-love follows, I suggest looking at the list of people following them. This way, you can connect with individuals who have the exact same taste in photos as you do. If a person is taking images you like, it is more probable that they are looking for different kinds of material in their feed as opposed to more of the exact same that they take.
The second method to find individuals worth following is to experience the business, brands, and companies that influence you. You could avoid Instagram users who are posting pictures to market their very own job, yet often times these Instagrammers are putting genuine initiative right into material that you could involve with.
Among the best approaches for locating these brands is to think of just what you are taking photos of most often. For instance, I found myself taking Instagram images of coffee 7 blog posts in a row, so I looked up Starbucks to see what they depend on on the planet of instant photos and also fun filtering. And also as a significant brand with a large stake in revealing themselves via pictures, their Instagram feed is incredible.
However perhaps you're much more anti-corporate than I am. Begin taking and publishing extra Instagram pictures yourself. The following person that discusses an image of yours could be your best source for brand-new individuals to follow.

Plastic 2 is a plug-in for FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Server that processes secure payments within FileMaker.
FileMaker 7 or higher, Java Virtual Machine (JVM) 6 or higher, Windows or Mac OS X 10.6. Rosetta on Intel Macs not supported.
If you unzip the zip archive containing the plug-in files and open the top-level directory, you will find two subdirectories labeled WIN (for Windows) and MAC (for Macintosh). The WIN directory contains two plug-in files, one with a .fmx extension and another with a .fmx64 extension. The file with the .fmx64 extension is only used for FileMaker Server installations, which are explained below. The MAC directory contains a plug-in file with a .fmplugin extension.
To install the plug-in, copy the plug-in from the WIN or MAC folder to one of the directories listed below. Directory paths are listed relative to the parent directory of the installation home directory of the FileMaker application.
Note: Using the plug-in with the FileMaker Server Web Publishing Engine or the FileMaker Server Scripting Engine requires an Enterprise plug-in license.
Uninstall the plug-in by quitting FileMaker Pro or stopping FileMaker Server and removing the plug-in file from the appropriate Extensions or Plugins directory.
Plug-ins will run in a fully featured demo mode until they are registered. While running in demo mode, the plug-in will run for 2 hours at a time. In order to get another two hours of demo time, you must restart FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Server's database server module or FileMaker Server's Web Publishing Engine, depending upon where the plug-in is installed.
To register the plug-in in FileMaker Pro, you may either enter the license information in FileMaker plug-in preferences or by calling CCRegister inside a script. You must call CCRegister inside a script in order to register the plug-in for use with FileMaker Server.
Returns: a 1 on success or a 0 on failure.
When something unexpected happens, the plug-in will pop up a dialog showing what the error message is. This makes it easy to see what went wrong. However, in some cases, you (the developer) may prefer to show your own message to the user, or possibly not show a message at all. In that case, you can call CCSetErrorCapture ( true ). This will suppress the displaying of error dialogs.
If a plug-in is not installed correctly, all plug-in function calls will return "?"
The simplest way to check to see if money has changed hands in a payment processing function call is to check the result of the function itself. This is extremely useful when calling functions such as CCProcessPayment and CCProfileProcessPayment. The result of the transaction will give a transaction ID or the word ERROR. Using the CCLastError like in the example above will give further information about the error, such as if there is no network connectivity, or the card was declined.
#Transaction is unsuccessful. Below is an example of how you might handle the error.
For more information on how to correctly install and work with plug-ins, check out the Plugins 101 documentation.
USA ePay can process a wide variety of transactions, including eCheck / ACH payments, profile-based payments, and subscriptions. For detailed examples of each of these transactions, check the demo file included as a download with Plastic 2. These scripts are ready for insertion into your own solution!
You'll need an account using the USA ePay Gateway, and use your source key and the PIN as the first two parameters for every plug-in function call that performs a transaction. You can log into your account at USA ePay and generate the PIN there. In the function signature template, you may see the terms merchant account name and transaction key instead of source key and PIN. This is due to the fact that Plastic 2 supports many gateways that use different definitions of log-in credentials.
Before processing any payments, you need to tell Plastic which gateway you are using. This is done by calling CCSetGateway.
Returns: 1 if a valid gateway is provided, "ERROR" on failure.
If running card present charges, you should also set cardPresent to true when setting the gateway.
To run test transactions, call CCSetTestMode - If set to 1, tells Plastic to perform all subsequent transactions as test transactions. If set to 0, tells Plastic to perform all subsequent transactions as live transactions. If this function is never called, the default behavior of Plastic is to treat all transactions as live transactions.
If you would like to use Plastic to perform transactions against an alternate URL, call the CCSetGateway function with the additional parameter url, whose value would correspond to the alternate url. A gateway emulator is a common use case for an alternate URL. Gateway emulators fashion an application programming interface that resembles that of a competing gateway to ease the integration process for merchants who switch to their gateway.
The call to CCSetGateway acts as a flag, so all subsequent transactions will point to the alternate URL until otherwise specified or FileMaker is restarted.
This simple example will run a single charge and requires you to input a card number and expiration date. To prevent this information from being saved in your database and to simplify PCI compliance, jump to the #Payment Profiles section.
Once you properly configure your merchant account, you can quickly and easily process payment transactions.
The CCProcessPayment function will process a transaction and return a transaction ID. This function returns a transaction ID if the transaction is successful or the word ERROR if the transaction fails. For detailed information about the most recent transaction failure, call the CCLastError function before calling any other transaction-processing function.
In your script, you would then have a second line after setting the gateway.
Note: It is important to store the resulting transaction ID because you may need it later to void the transaction, issue a refund or capture a previously authorized transaction.
You may submit optional parameters to most of Plastic's payment-transaction processing functions. These parameters will be submitted to the payment gateway along with the basic transaction information. Although they are not usually required to process an order, these parameters can be useful for tasks such as address verification or linking a transaction to a customer id or an invoice number. To supply additional parameters to a function call, add them to the end of the parameter list after the last required parameter, using a "key=value" syntax.
Plastic 2 now supports payments via direct bank transfers and eChecks, via ACH payments. To take a payment via eCheck, use the CCProcessPaymentACH function after calling the gateway.
You must pass in the ACH Type and driver's license information. Do so by adding the extra parameters as key=value pairs. The blank placeholder is marked with ""; - normally you would use this parameter for a bank name, but that is not supported in USA ePay transactions.
If taking a Account Receivable Transaction (ARC) or Back Office Conversion (BOC) payment, you must also pass in a check number. If not, simply type ""; where that checkNumber field would be.
A sale transaction for credit card contains two parts: an authorization which verifies and places a hold for the amount, and a capture, which actually transfers the funds.
To run an authorization, pass in an additional parameter authMode=AUTH_ONLY.
After running an authorization, run the appropriate CCProcessAuthorizedPayment. Pass in the previousTransactionId from the transaction ID you received from the process with authMode.
Certain types of merchant accounts are set up for reading physical card swipes, instead of taking orders via the web or over the phone. If you account is a card present account, like a retail store, then you will need to also send the data included on the magnetic stripe of a card. It is important to pass in swipe data if you have it, as your transaction may be downgraded to a more expensive rate if you simply type a card number.
To process a card present transaction, first call CCSetGateway with the parameter cardPresent=true. If CCSetGateway returns a 1, then you can perform a card present transaction.
To process a payment using card present accounts, you'll need the information in the magnetic stripe of the credit card. In Plastic, this information may obtained from a keyboard-emulating card reader, which essentially dumps text into a text field when the card is swiped, as if the text had been entered via a keyboard.
While some card readers will contain software that parses that raw data from the magnetic stripe before dumping it to a field, this documentation refers to those keyboard-emulating readers that dump raw data. Raw swipe data contains two delimited pieces of information: Track 1 and Track 2.
See http://www.exeba.com/comm40/creditcardformat.htm for more information about Track 1 and Track 2.
Note: As a convenience, the Plastic function CCTrackData will parse either Track 1 or Track 2 data as a return-separated string containing account code, cardholder name, expiration date (YYMM), and optional discretionary data.
Finally, call CCProcessPayment and pass in raw swipe or track data. When processing a card-present transaction, a gateway will typically require you to pass in either the full raw swipe, Track 1 or Track 2. In most cases, you do not need to pass in card numbers and expiration dates.
Pass in either track1 or track2.
When using CCProcessPayment, specifying the additional parameter "authMode=AUTH_ONLY" will perform an authorization as opposed to a sale transaction. Specifying the "isPartialAuthorization=true" parameter will tell the gateway to allow for partial authorizations of pre-paid credit cards, gift cards and debit cards.
After specifying a partial authorization, you can request the remaining balance and the requested amount by using CCPartialGetRemainingBalance and CCPartialGetRequestedAmount. Both return the dollar amounts, and do not require any additional parameters.
Voids a previously processed payment. The parameters are similar to the CCProcessPayment function, except dollarAmount is replaced with the addition of the previousTransactionID parameter. The previousTransactionID should be the transaction ID of the transaction you wish to void. This value is returned by the CCProcessPayment function. Alternately, you can use the CCLastPaymentTransactionID function to get the transactionID of the last processed payment.
pin - your merchant account password OR transaction key.
previousTransactionID - the transactionId of a previously processed transaction.
Note that CCVoidPayment will only work on orders that have not settled yet, which means that it will generally only work on payments made that same day. To void settled orders, use CCRefund instead.
See also: CCLastPaymentTransactionID: the transactionID from the payment gateway service if the order is successful, or "ERROR" if there was a problem (use CCLastError for more detailed information about the nature of the error).
To credit a transaction, you need the transaction ID returned by CCProcessPayment. Pass this (along with other payment info) to the CCRefund function. This is similar to the void process, except it accepts a dollar amount and the credit card number (or the last four digits of the credit card number) used to process the original transaction.
If you do not pass a dollar amount, it will refund the whole amount of the transaction.
With subscriptions, payments can automatically be debited to a credit card or a bank account on a time period you specify. If you gateway supports it, there may be up to five functions used to manage subscriptions: CCCreateSubscription, CCCreateSubscriptionACH, CCModifySubscription, CCModifySubscriptionACH, and CCDeleteSubscription.
USA ePay supports all five subscription functions. Creating and modifying subscriptions all accept the same optional parameters, available in the table below.
Valid pay periods include daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, biannually, and annually. The number of installments specify how many transactions to run. A six month subscription would specify a payPeriod of monthly, and 6 installments.
To create a credit card subscription, use CCCreateSubscription. To create a bank account subscription, use CCCreateSubscriptionACH. Italicized items are optional.
Returns: the subscription ID on success, "ERROR" on failure.
After a subscription has been created, it can be modified with CCModifySubscription. If the original subscription was a bank account you'll use CCModifySubscriptionACH. The optional parameters can be set to "" if you do not need to modify them. The last two, marked with ""; are payPeriod and frequency, which cannot be modified.
Returns: 1 on success, or "ERROR" if there was a problem.
There are no optional parameters with deleting a subscription.
Plastic 2 features customer profiles, which allow you to submit customer and payment information to be reused for future transactions. This greatly simplifies PCI compliance, and keeps sensitive information out of your database. To get started, first you'll need to create a customer in the system. This will return an ID that you can then store. After that, attach a payment method to this newly created customer. This will return a payment ID, which together with the customer profile ID, you can run charges against.
After creating a customer, it can also be updated, deleted, or retrieved. Retrieving a customer will return the information the gateway has saved about the customer, with the sensitive information masked. Customer ID is a end user set value, and Customer Profile ID is the one dictated by the gateway.
Which will return the last name of the profile requested.
You don't necessarily need to pass in a customer ID for creating or updating a customer profile.
Payment profiles allow you to save payment information straight to the gateway for future use. To create a payment profile, call either CCProfileCreatePayment or CCProfileCreatePaymentACH, depending on whether the payment profile is a credit card or ACH. Credit cards are created with CCProfileCreatePayment and updated with CCProfileUpdatePayment. Italicized items are optional, and can accept ""; if not needed.
Returns: Creating a payment will return the ID of the profile created, "ERROR" on failure. Updating will return 1 on success, "ERROR" on failure.
After creation, payments can be retrieved with CCProfileGetPayment Payments can be deleted with CCProfileDeletePayment.
Returns: Getting a payment will return the ID of the profile requested, "ERROR" on failure. Deletions will return 1 on success, "ERROR" on failure.
ACH payments are added and updated in much the same way as a credit card. Italicized items are optional, and can accept ""; if not needed. ACH payments can use the same CCProfileGetPayment, CCProfileValidatePayment, and CCProfileDeletePayment as above.
Optional parameters: achType, driversLicenseNumber, driversLicenseState.
You can process a payment and refund transactions using the saved payment data. Please note you'll need to mark whether the original payment method was an ACH or credit card using the key=value pair.
Returns: Payments return a transaction ID from the payment gateway service if the transaction is successful, or "ERROR" if there was a problem. Refunds will return 1 on success, or "ERROR" if there was a problem.
Plastic includes a number of helper functions that allow users to retrieve data from the gateway or Plastic.
To execute any of these functions inside of a script, use a Set Field or Set Variable script step.
CCGetCardIssuer(cardNumber) - returns the card issuer for a given card number, either: VISA, MASTERCARD, AMEX, DINERS, DISCOVER, JCB. Returns an error if the card number is from another issuer.
CCGetLast (name) - returns a value from the most recent transaction response that corresponds with the name parameter.
M- CVV2/CVC2 Match - Indicates that the card is authentic. Complete the transaction if the authorization request was approved.
N- CVV2 / CVC2 No Match – May indicate a problem with the card. Contact the cardholder to verify the CVV2 code before completing the transaction, even if the authorization request was approved.
P- Not Processed - Indicates that the expiration date was not provided with the request, or that the card does not have a valid CVV2 code. If the expiration date was not included with the request, resubmit the request with the expiration date.
S- Merchant Has Indicated that CVV2 / CVC2 is not present on card - May indicate a problem with the card. Contact the cardholder to verify the CVV2 code before completing the transaction.
CCLastChargeResult - returns the gateway's result code for the last operation.
CCLastPaymentAuthCode - returns the gateway's approval code for the last payment which was processed with CCProcessPayment.
CCLastPaymentTransactionID- returns the gateway's transaction ID for the last payment which was processed with CCProcessPayment.
CCLastRawResponse- returns the gateway's raw text response for the most recent transaction.
CCValidateCardNumber (cardNumber) determines if a card number is valid. Does not indicate the validity of the card itself, only its number. Returns either a 1 for valid card, or 0 for invalid cards.
CCLastError - returns the text of the last error triggered by a plugin function.
CCLicenseInfo - returns information about the license used.
CCVersion - returns the version of the credit card plugin which is installed.

Yes, climate change and the exhaustion of finite natural resources should be of concern to Sheffield. To ignore this would be entirely folly and would undermine the unsustainable economic quest the city and city region has set itself. Climate change magnifies and amplifies the negative impacts our poorest communities are already experiencing. Three years ago the Director of Public Health in Sheffield made it very clear: If you live down wind, down stream or down hill you’ll suffer worst. From poor air quality, poor water quality, poorer soils and flooding.
But most importantly is the emphasis placed on the Green Commission in providing a coherent response to this challenge. Perhaps the single biggest set of external factors (climate change, global energy markets, deforestation, acidification, habitat loss) directly and indirectly affecting the city are being chewed over by a select group of experts. The initiator of this process, Cllr Jack Scott, has stood down from his position, leaving a new and inexperienced Cabinet Member in Cllr Jayne Dunn to come in and pick up the reins. Attendance, by the looks of it, has been patchy and the conclusions well, inconclusive, so far.
I am pleased that the annual report in to Sheffield’s health has, again, identified environmental issues as important. I am not optimistic there is sufficient architecture and commitment in place to address it though.
Manchester has been promoting the concept of a ‘smart city’ for some time and has embraced the concept without the level of pump priming enjoyed by Glasgow, London and Bristol. So it’s great to see the launch of programme with carbon reduction at its very heart. Combining its cross-institutional approach into a defined geographical area, the Triangulum project, a smart city vision for three European cities was launched last week. Led by Fraunhofer IAO and funded by £4.5 million of European Commission funds, the project aims to create ‘smart quarters’ in Manchester, Eindhoven in Holland, and Stavanger in Norway. This scheme offers a new approach, bringing together a number of green initiatives in one area of the city to test the potential of new technologies.
Triangulum aims to transform Oxford Road in Manchester (also known as the ‘Manchester Corridor’, the city’s student district) as an exemplar for smart technology. There will be a particular focus on reducing carbon emissions, including technologies to improve energy use in buildings and encouraging the use of sustainable transport. An autonomous energy grid for heat and electricity will be introduced alongside a centralised control platform, which will allow Manchester to manage its energy in a localised, energy efficient manner. The system will also allow the city to identify new revenue sources and savings for the system, improving energy and resource efficiency.
‘Smart’ technology offers the prospect of cities doing more with less | Centre for Cities.

Poor DB design coupled with poor queries, dynamic sql even can lead to crippling performance issue. Things aren't "crippling", for me at the moment, but theres still a lot that can be done. So where to start?
Well we need something to work with first. So go get some, PerfStatsScripts, SQLDiag. Then feed it to SQL NEXUS. That should eventually lead to managing your indexes, whether missing, suggested or redundant. Another nugget, comes from K.Tripp Orz, sp_helpIndex. Visibility into what your tables have on them now. Hopefully your get into a grove where things will start to just fall into place. Said query is sucking life out of SQL. Its referencing, Table A and Table B. Review suggestions and view what there now. Make a decision and review the results. Rinse wash repeat. I don't expect to end up with a clear glass, but hopefully this would have scrapped the scum off the surface and removed all the big particles and hair, eww.
Goober: WHY IS IT DOING A TABLE SCAN? No matter what I do it just keeps doing a table scan? Update Stats? Restart SQL?
Bob: Eh, what index are you expecting to see used?
Goober: There was no index. I need to go talk to some people.
Bob: Super. Take care now, bye-bye then.

Another great feature of Hyperbac ver. 4.1.73.0.
I specify the version because they were aquired by Reg-gate who, seeminly severed this functionality and has relabeled, enhanced :-|, this former built in feature as SQL virtual restore.
Now I can re-create the linked server object without needing to know the forgotten magic word.
Admin(s) relayed to me server ready for my magic hands. Little did I know they had their hands all up in it. RDP'd in check the partition layout, corrected as needed. Gathered install files. Ready...break...literally. SQL x64 kept failing to install.

This a fresh install WTM??
What a pain, I finally discovered the Admin installed 2k5 32-bit, prior to handing off to me. Now why would I assume someone would have done that?? Grumble grumble...to make matters worse, I went to control panel --> Add remove, to try to start from scratch, by uninstalling all sql components, thinking the install somehow got corrupt. That somehow left me with an orphaned 32-bit install of SQL that I now can't remove with Add/Remove, BOOOOOOOOooooo. Now trying to clean up this mess.

The Centaur objects are a population of small bodies, similar to asteroids in size but to comets in composition, that revolve around the Sun in the outer solar system, mainly between the orbits of Jupiter and Neptune. The first known member of the group, Chiron, was discovered in 1977, although its close affinity with icy comet nuclei was not recognized until more than a decade later. Since the discovery of the second known representative, Pholus, in 1992, additional Centaur objects, or Centaurs, have been reported, and astronomers have speculated that hundreds or thousands more may exist.
Centaur objects, which are as large as about 200 km (125 miles) in diameter, are thought to have originated beyond the orbits of Neptune and Pluto, in the Kuiper Belt. Having been perturbed inward by Neptune's gravitational influence, they presently travel in unstable orbits that cross the paths of the giant planets. Because of the likelihood that they will collide with a planet or be flung by a planet's gravity into a new orbit either far from the Sun or toward the inner planets, these objects are thought to spend a short lifetime, in astronomical terms, as Centaurs. This implies that the population of Centaurs is being continually replenished from the Kuiper Belt.
At the large distances of the Centaurs from the Sun, customary distinctions between comets and asteroids can become blurred. By traditional definition, comets contain more frozen water and other volatile compounds than rocky material, and they give off gases when these ices vaporize. At the very low temperatures in the outer solar system, however, only Chiron and two other Centaurs have shown such activity.
distance from the Sun (2 AU), whereas most comets start to produce a visible tail only at about 1.5 AU from the Sun. These characteristics suggest that Morehouse was a "new" comet, coming straight from the Oort cloud.

One of the most fun aspects of the upcoming Government Video Expo will be its raffles. This year's Expo will include some great products, both hardware and software, with possibly some big surprises to come. The first raffle prize to be announced for the 2013 GVExpo is a Cobalt Digital BlueBox SDI-to-HDMI converter, just the product you'll need to connect a professional video system to a large-screen display.
Cobalt's BlueBox SDI-to-HDMI converter is small and sturdy, draws little power and is a snap to set up and use. Its features include a reclocked SDI output so that you can feed the SDI signal to another device as well. The unit's output is a standard HDMI connector, and it also has a USB port for future firmware upgrades. Accidental loss of power is minimized by the screw-on power connector.
We will have more products to announce for the raffle at GVExpo, but want to take a moment to thank Cobalt Digital for its generous donation of the BlueBox SDI-to-HDMI converter.

We are exploiting the latest generation Nanopore sequencing approaches to sequence large genomes. Nanopore sequencing is low cost, easy to use and can generate read lengths limited only by the ability to generate suitable input material. The project will focus on developing methods to obtain high quality high molecular weight DNA to maximise read length on this platform. We are specifically interested in capturing genome data from species which provide inherent challenges to short read sequencing due to the presence of large repeats or other complex challenges. These data will be combined with those we have already generated to understand fundamental questions addressing the rates of change of genomes and gene gain/loss (see Evans et al 2014). Alongside this, the project will develop and exploit methods for selective sequencing on the minION – so called ’Read Until’ (See Loose et al 2016). We are world leaders in this approach, enabling the ‘tasting’ of reads in the sequencer in real time and the selective rejection of material that has been seen before or does not meet some other experimental criterion. We will investigate how ‘Read Until’ can be used to iteratively improve assemblies and guide sequencing in real time. The ease of sequencing is such that applicants are encouraged from a diversity of backgrounds including Biology, Physics, Mathematics or Bioinformatics.

Washington, D.C., Feb. 29, 2012 – The Senate Subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging, chaired by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), today held a hearing on "The Dental Crisis in America: The Need to Expand Access." The American Dental Association (ADA) welcomed the hearing in the hope that it will spur lawmakers to address the many barriers to oral health while rejecting the suggestion that there can be a simple fix to the problems.
"According to information included in the Pew Center on the States May 2011 report, Vermont has steadily increased utilization among its pediatric Medicaid population from 48.9 percent in 2000 to 57.3 percent in 2009. Data on the number of third graders in the state with dental sealants indicates a rate of 66.1 percent. In addition, only 2.5 percent of Vermont’s residents live in a dental health professional shortage area. The report indicates that it will only take one additional dentist to remove the shortage designation in Vermont."
Dentists will continue to collaborate with policymakers and members of the public health community around the country to craft access solutions that are tailored to local needs and challenges. These include increasing Medicaid funding; preventive measures such as school dental screenings and sealant programs; expanding student loan forgiveness programs to encourage more dentists to practice in underserved areas; and reducing the red tape that sometimes makes it difficult for dentists to provide care through Medicaid or to specific communities, such as Native Americans. But states and the federal government must do their parts, at a minimum maintaining their existing commitments to providing oral health care for the millions of Americans who are most in need, especially children. The dental profession and its allies will continue to lead the fight to break down barriers to oral health for all Americans, and we invite all organizations and individuals who share this goal to join us.
The ADA statement is available (PDF).

Since the commencement of 2018, cryptocurrencies have begun to enter the mainstream of the finance world, with such major announcements as the commencement of trading in Bitcoin futures on the CBOE, Nomura Holdings announcing a foray into cryptocurrency storage and security solutions, ICE (owner of the New York Stock Exchange) announcing the formation of a new subsidiary in cooperation with Microsoft and Starbucks to provide federally-regulated trading of Bitcoin and other digital assets, and Japan’s largest bank MUFG revealing plans to develop its own cryptocurrency pegged to the yen.
Riding this wave, Epoch Partners Limited (Headquartered in the Cayman Islands) has announced the world’s first retail public offering of a cryptocurrency and digital assets related fund. The Securities Registration Statement for the fund was filed on EDINET – the disclosure system of the Japanese Financial Services Agency – on September 28, 2018, with subscriptions being opened on October 15th. According to the Securities Registration Statement, subscriptions are to be capped at 100 Billion Yen, or about US$900 million.
Epoch Digital Assets will make use of hedge fund management know-how to invest into funds and other investment vehicles with exposure to a variety of cryptocurrency, initial coin offering (ICO), and other digital assets, seeking aggressive returns while reducing volatility.
The ability to get a diversified exposure to the cryptocurrency and digital asset space with a relatively small investment should be one element of appeal to retail investors. While the digital asset space has significant upside growth potential, it still represents a very volatile market with large price swings, so investors will be investing at their own risk.
Japan has been a leader in the cryptocurrency and digital asset space. They were the first market to create a proper regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, and as such can be seen as the world pioneer in this area. We were very keen to undertake the world’s first public offering of a cryptocurrency fund in Japan and look forward to great things ahead. The asset class is still young, but the movement to more institutional players like Goldman Sachs and Nomura entering the space shows the great potential of this area. In the future, digital assets are likely to become an integrated part of investment portfolios, similar to equities and fixed income products today, albeit on a smaller scale.
The fund will be marketed by Teneo Partners (Headquartered in Tokyo), which will sell the fund in conjunction with other securities firms in Japan.
As a fully licensed Japanese securities company that specializes in offering offshore alternative funds to Japanese investors, we are delighted to be working with Epoch Partners. The ability to offer a truly unique diversified digital asset fund to our distribution and investor networks allows us to more fully address the increasingly diverse investment needs of our clientele and to differentiate ourselves from our competitors within the Japanese securities industry.

How can forms of reasoning and critical thinking in science offer leverage in understanding the world in which we live?
What cognitive challenges do we need to overcome in order to develop deep and scientific views of the world?
At Walden’s Path | The Magnet School, these and related questions have motivated us to design a science curriculum based on Science of Learning.
This involves coming up with new ideas, thinking outside the box, connecting imagination with logic, and then communicating these ideas to others. Many times these ideas go against the prevailing belief system.
Students keep detailed notebooks, drawings and correspondence of comments, suggestions, and revisions of their ideas, lectures and experiments. Documentation is a means of helping them to download thinking onto paper and of helping them to see patterns that otherwise might go unnoticed.
Students often support ideas by looking across work in the field and synthesising it. They work in collaboration, are open to ideas of others, and communicate extensively with peers.
Many discoveries happened while scientists were looking for something else, sometimes they were by accident, and sometimes after specific experiments provided surprising findings. Not all science is explored solely by controlled experiments.
Students use the technology and resources available and envision what may come. Creating an environment that fosters experimentation and research are extremely crucial.

"Certain practices clearly do not constitute good governance on any definition. If a succession of military dictators in a resource-rich country in a poor part of the world siphon off as much as $27 billion of the public's money, economic performance and the poor are likely to suffer. Those responsible for such abuses, and the international banks that eagerly transfer their funds to safe havens, must be held accountable. Other forms of institutionalized corruption are far less extreme but may, nevertheless, limit economic growth and result in low levels of support for the poor.
IN THE MINDS OF SOME, "governance" when applied to the international realm still conjures up images of world government, of centralized bureaucratic behemoths trampling on the rights of people and states. Nothing is less desirable.
WEAK STATES are one of the main impediments to effective governance today, at national and international levels alike. Notwithstanding the institutional turmoil that is often associated with globalization, there is no other entity in sight that competes with or can substitute for the state.
YET NO LEGAL PRINCIPLE--not even sovereignty--can ever be invoked to excuse crimes against humanity. And where such crimes occur and peaceful attempts to halt them have been exhausted, the international community has a moral duty to act. The fact that we cannot protect people everywhere is no reason for doing nothing when we can.
ARMED INTERVENTION must always remain the option of last resort, but in the face of mass murder it is an option that cannot be relinquished. Nothing is more inimical to pro-growth, anti-poverty objectives than armed conflict.
COUNTRIES THAT HAVE ACHIEVED higher growth are those that have successfully integrated into the global economy and attracted foreign investment. But, as the economic benefits of education and skills increase, so does income inequality between those people who have them and those who do not. This is true both within and among countries.
POOR COUNTRIES, especially those with significant inequality between ethnic and religious communities, are far more likely to be embroiled in conflicts than rich ones. Most such conflicts are internal; they almost invariably create problems for neighbours or generate a need for humanitarian assistance.
POOR COUNTRIES often lack the capacity and resources to implement environmentally-sound policies. This undermines the sustainability of their people's meager existence, and makes the effects of their poverty even worse.
IT IS NOW WIDELY ACCEPTED that economic success depends on the quality of governance a country enjoys. Good governance comprises the rule of law, effective state institutions, transparency and accountability in the management of public affairs, respect for human rights, and the participation of all citizens in the decisions that affect their lives.
A FAIR AND TRANSPARENT public expenditure and taxation system is a key ingredient. Revenues must be used wisely to make sound investments in physical and social infrastructure for all. Excessive regulation, by contrast, impedes economic performance and slows growth.
Help strengthen the capacity of states to govern, not undermine them further.

Associate Education Minister Nikki Kaye today announced that around 90 per cent of schools are now connected to the $211 million N4L Managed Network, and she also released an outline of work underway to harness the power of digital technologies to transform teaching and learning.
“I’m pleased to make this announcement just over two years after the first school was connected to the N4L Managed Network, which gives schools access to fast, reliable, Government-funded internet and uncapped data for learning, says Ms Kaye.
“More than 2282 schools are now connected to the Managed Network. The rollout is running about a year ahead of schedule, and the remaining 10 per cent of schools will be able to connect next year.
“This is a tribute to the hard work of the team at Crown company N4L, and I’d like to acknowledge them for the great job they’re doing.
“The Government believes that to participate successfully in the future, young people today need to be learning a range of 21st Century digital skills.
“Providing state-of-the-art infrastructure is one way we’re helping schools make the most of digital technology for learning, and ensuring that New Zealand has a world-leading, digitally-enabled education system.
“We’re also supporting schools to provide innovative, digitally-enabled teaching and learning practices, access to high-quality online content and resources, and equitable access to digital devices.
supporting schools and communities of learning to share models of effective practice to achieve equitable access to digital technologies, such as Manaiakalani - an initiative enabling families to buy devices on affordable lease-to-buy arrangements, and access their school’s network via community WIFI 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“The Government’s commitment to ensuring our students and teachers are digitally fluent is reflected in our investment of $700 million towards digital infrastructure in schools, and tens of millions of dollars towards online content and professional support for teachers.
“Recently, I visited Singapore to speak at the Bett Asia Leadership Summit 2015. This was a meeting of Ministers and leading educators from around the world to share the latest trends in the use of information technology in education.
“It is clear to me that New Zealand is a world leader in many areas, including providing high-quality digital infrastructure and innovative teaching practices. There is more work to do to ensure all students can benefit from digital technologies, and we will also adapt our approach as new technologies emerge.
“Our schools are opening up an exciting world of digital learning for students. This is helping to prepare them for a world in which being a fluent user of digital technology will be intrinsic to their careers and everyday lives.

You can combine the QBot 2 for QUARC with other QBot 2 or QBot (previous generation of Quanser ground robots based on iRobot platform) units, QBall 2 and QBall-X4 unmanned aerial vehicles, or third-party autonomous vehicles, and build an open-architecture, multi-purpose, multi-agent platform for research. Such a platform will allow you to explore areas including collaborative control, adaptive control, fault-tolerant control, sensor fusion, fleet maintenance and more, working in an indoor lab environment. The Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVS) Lab from Quanser provides a turn-key, integrated environment for implementing UVS controllers and algorithms without having to integrate disparate hardware and software resources.
QBall 2 unmanned aerial vehicle(s), and the OptiTrack™ localization and tracking system.
The QBot 2 for QUARC incorporates the Kobuki platform from Yujin Robot, the Microsoft Kinect vision system and the Quanser wireless embedded target computer.
The Kobuki platform is driven by two differential drive wheels with built-in encoders. The platform includes a bumper sensor, built-in gyroscope and cliff sensors. The embedded computer target can access data from these sensors. The QBot 2 is powered by Lithium ion battery pack ensuring up to 3 hours of operation on a full charge.
The embedded target computer mounted on the platform uses the Gumstix DuoVero small-scale embedded computer to run QUARC, Quanser’s real-time control software, and interfaces with the QBot 2 data acquisition card (DAQ). The QBot 2 DAQ integrates the DuoVero computer, the Kobuki platform and the Kinect sensor. Users can customize the platform for their needs by adding off-the-shelf sensors supported by QUARC, including digital (SPI, UART, I²C) and analog sensors.
The Kinect vision system is an integrated RGB camera and depth sensor capable of capturing RGB image data and 11-bit depth data at several resolutions and framerates. The Kinect is mounted on a structure that allows users to orient it horizontally or tilt it downwards for various viewing positions.
The QBot 2 is accessible through three blocksets that allow user to drive the vehicle, read from sensors and write to outputs, and access the RGB and depth image data from the Kinect sensor. The controllers are developed in Simulink® with QUARC on the host computer. The models are cross-compiled and downloaded to the target computer seamlessly through a wireless router (included in the system).
QBot 2 for QUARC comes with Quanser-developed resources, including setup guide, user manual, laboratory exercises and pre-designed controllers. The courseware covers standard topics of undergraduate and graduate robotics and mechatronics courses, such as differential and inverse kinematics, odometric and probabilistic map-based localization, path planning, mapping and vision-guided control.

Make the most of your time in Scotland on this guided day trip from Glasgow to Loch Ness, Glencoe, and the Highlands. Visit the country's most famous and most beautiful attractions while seamlessly transported in a comfortable bus. Also see one of Britain's highest mountain and visit the charming town of Pitlochry while your guide explains the complex backstories and culture of this dramatic (in both appearance and history) region.
Meet your guide and group in central Glasgow. Board your air-conditioned coach and journey north, passing by Loch Lomond National Park and its famously "bonnie, bonnie banks."
Continue into the Highlands, traveling by Rannoch Moor and the Black Mount mountain range, toward Glencoe, the haunting site of the 1692 MacDonald clan massacre and recognizable from the James Bond movie, Skyfall.
Continue past Loch Linnhe, one of Scotland's deepest lakes (lochs), and stop for lunch in Fort William (own expense). See one of Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, as you journey into the Great Glen. Travel through the Fort Augustus village toward Loch Ness. Keep your eyes peeled for the famous monster, and add on an optional boat cruise or Urquhart Castle tour.
Continue north to Inverness, before heading back through Perthshire and the Forest of Atholl. Take a short break in Pitlochry, before concluding your tour back in central Glasgow.
Get quick answers from Loch Ness, Glencoe, and the Highlands Day Trip from Glasgow staff and past visitors.
do we stop at Loch Lomond or only see it in passing?
Yes, you do stop and are able to walk down to the water. Also there is a small store selling coffee, use restroom, etc. We probably spent about 30-40 minutes. It was enough as it was very cold and windy.
How much time is there in Loch Ness? Is it enough for 1hour or 2hours cruise?
There is a cruise you can take lasting about an hour. The bus stops for this or you can browse the restaurant and gift shop.
Why kids below 5yrs are not allowed? Noticed this on many highland tours. Any particular reason?
I suspect due to the length of the trip. It's a 12 hour day and the journey back is motorway, so although you see Stirling Castle as you get nearer to Glasgow, the main scenary is road and traffic. Very boring for little ones. Whilst there are more then enough stops for refreshments and comfort breaks, as well as to admire and learn about the landscape etc, the tours are focused and you have to be on and off the coach in timeframes that wouldn't necessarily provide must 'time out' for children. They'd be restricted most of the day, and to be honest, how many under 5s are really interested in scenery, however stunning it is (and it is).

Cynosure, maker of the first and only revolutionary PicoSure laser, knew that a pulse width in the picosecond range would produce a Powerful pressure wave. Millions of R&D dollars and years later, Cynosure achieved the impossible: a picosecond aesthetic laser they dubbed PicoSure.
The resulting patented PressureWave can be felt by the operator on the client’s skin during a treatment, as it smashes tattoo ink particles into the smallest of pieces, which can easily be cleared by the body. But how does the body remove those tiny pieces of brightly colored ink? Is it absorption? Or phagocytosis? Lymph flow?
Answer: All of the above. But here’s the really interesting caveat: the PressureWave itself makes it all possible. When the PicoSure laser is pulsing at its absolute fastest, around 550ps, the resulting PressureWave causes the individual cells of the skin to vibrate at an incredible rate of speed. This vibration causes extracellular disruption, often seen in the form of a bruise or blisters, which frees the fractured particles of ink.
The disruption of tissues does not permanently damage them, in fact, it causes integumentary tissue to rejuvenate, often leaving the treated skin looking as though it had never even been tattooed.
If you would like to experience this life-changing tattoo-removal procedure yourself, you can reach me at my newest location on West 6th Street in Austin, TX at Austin Medspa. Please call or stop by for a free consultation on your tattoo removal. Even if you’ve tried tattoo removal with some POS q-switched laser elsewhere, PicoSure can make it gone forever.

Thousand upon thousands of lines.
Bethesda has finished voice recording for Fallout 4, a massive project resulting in more lines than in Fallout 3 and Skyrim combined. “Many years” went into capturing over 111,000 lines for the upcoming title, according to a tweet from Bethesda earlier today.
Trumping the dialogue numbers of Bethesda’s last two major titles is no easy task. Skyrim itself had over 60,000 lines of voiced dialogue.
The inclusion of voiced protagonists, a first to the Fallout series, played no small part in the score. After all, the game’s two main voice actors, Brian T Delaney and Courtenay Taylor, have recorded over 13,000 lines over the past two years.
With this news, it seems Fallout 4 is looking to break all kinds of records for the series. The title will feature over 400 hours of gameplay, as well as over 700 possible weapon modifications.
Fallout 4 hits PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC this upcoming Nov. 10. Here’s everything we learned about the game at Gamescom to prepare you for Bethesda’s highly anticipated release.

Buying 20 pct of electronics chain Suning is a backward step for the Chinese e-commerce giant. Its motive may be gaining access to a delivery network. Yet Alibaba’s appeal has been its asset-light model. Defending its near-monopoly online will require more offline investment.
A man talks on the phone as he surfs the internet on his laptop at a local coffee shop in downtown Shanghai November 28, 2013.
Breakdown: What's driving China's latest web boom?
Chinese e-commerce group Alibaba announced on Aug. 10 that it would invest 28.3 billion yuan ($4.63 billion) in electronics retailer Suning in return for a 19.99 percent stake.
At the same time, Suning will acquire 27.8 million newly issued ordinary shares of Alibaba for 14 billion yuan, giving it a 1.1 percent stake in the e-commerce giant.
As part of the deal, Suning will open an online storefront on Alibaba’s Tmall shopping platform. Meanwhile, Alibaba will gain access to the retailer’s logistics network, which includes 65 national and regional distribution centres.
Alibaba will pay 15.23 yuan per Suning share, a 5.76 percent premium to the average 20-day trading price. Suning will pay $81.51 per Alibaba share, roughly 3 percent above the company’s closing share price of $78.82 on Aug. 7.
Alibaba has been investing heavily in so-called “online-to-offline” e-commerce, which connects web shoppers to traditional retailers. In March last year, Alibaba purchased a 2 percent equity interest in another major electronics retailer, Haier, as well as a 9.9 percent stake in Haier’s logistics subsidiary, in a deal worth HK$2.8 billion ($361 million).
Around the same time, Alibaba invested $692 million in Chinese department store operator Intime Retail Group.
