Note:  I’ve been playing a Pathfinder game for a few months and decided to start writing up the play sessions.  This is my first attempt.
A weary band of adventurers rode in to the gates of Sandpoint as the lowering sun lit the sky with fire.  The red light highlighted the dried blood and sunken eyes of the party.  Foxglove Manor and the caverns below had presented an ordeal not only of steel and spell fire, but also of the mind.   A barbarous orc, a dusty jacketed man, a druid, his bonded gorilla, and a rogue bristling with tiny hilts retreated to their lodgings at the Rusty Dragon to rest.  A paladin strode off to his rooms at the Savah’s armory.  Guards went to alert the sheriff that the bedraggled Heroes of Sandpoint were back, all alive, but looking worse for the wear they had endured.
The paladin arrived first in the Dragon’s dining room some time after sunset.  Sherriff Hemlock was already there, anxiously waiting for the others to rise from rest or prayers.  Not long after the paladin settle in to wait with Hemlock the rest of the band made their way downstairs.  Food and drink were brought, and after a few silent minutes of eating and drinking, the Sherriff could no longer wait.
“The manor… is it safe?  Have you brought the murders to an end?”
Oggrash looked up from his meal.  He started to nod, then cocked his bald head to the side.  After a moment of thought he spoke.
“Well… it would seem so.  That house is full of evil.  We found Aldern Foxglove, and he is no longer alive.  Or dead.  Or whatever he is, he won’t be moving any time soon.  But this went further back than Aldern.   I think the local farms should be safe from him.”
Hemlock seemed to shed a weight off his shoulders as he listened, the dense cloud of apprehension over him diminishing slightly.  He gestured to a pair of watchmen who were hanging back.   They shifted and prepared to leave.
Raoul, a hulking pile of muscle covered in an arming doublet and generally affable righteous zeal rose and called out to the watchmen.
“Guards, please, wait a moment!  Aldern may be departed, but that house is still evil.  Our greatest challenge came not from Lord Foxglove and his foul beasts, but the very magic of the house itself.  Oggrash here nearly killed himself by some witchery.  Tell me, do you think his sort would take a knife to his own throat?”
The guards looked from the paladin to the massive, shirtless half-orc.  Oggrash was a large and brutish creature even more imposing than the paladin.  He sat head, if not shoulders, above most men in the Inn’s dining room.  While not entirely a stereotype of the barbaric eastern steppes, his small tusks were obvious and the necklace of trophies and scars he carried certainly silently spoke to a life of violence.  Half-orcs also tended to retained the stubborn pride and rage of their cruel heritage.  Theoverall impression was a man more likely to be doing the assaulting than being caught out the victim.  He stared levelly at the watchmen as he drank.
“You cannot walk alone in that house,” warned the half-orc, “You need to travel in pairs or triplets and watch each other.  We only made it out alive through care and a bit of luck.”
A quiet, thoughtful man in simple, well-worn leathers and traveling clothes spoke up.
“There are haunted magics in the house itself, and a foul infestation of mold in the walls and basement.   This mold affects the mind.  Each room in the house itself bears an enchantment or sorcery that will test your men.”
Hemlock gestured his men back.
“Thank you Garus, knowing that mold is more than an annoyance will probably save a few lives when we go to search the house.”  Hemlock looked to the party, “Forgive me for asking more of you today, but could you all help us create a map of the house, and explain what happened to you?  Perhaps we can clear the house and solve this whole mess.”
Garus nodded his consent.  With that Hemlock called for the guards to bring parchment and quills, and as the party finished their meal a map of Foxglove Manor was created.  Raoul told Hemlock of his meeting with the local priests before he had arrived at the Rusty Dragon.  Between the guards, the priests, and perhaps a healthy measure of oil and fire, the land could be cleansed.
By the time the meal and map were done, Hemlock had pledged horses to the party for the upcoming trip to Magnimar the group was about to embark on.  Clues in the Manor lead to another Foxglove Estate, this one a townhouse in the City of Monuments.   Along with the horses, Hemlock promised to send an official account of the “Heroes of Sandpoint” to the City Watch in order to help continue the investigation into the mysterious Seven behind the goblin attacks and now apparently the madness of Aldern Foxglove.
The trip to Magnimar was uneventful.  Oggrash, Raoul and Vinder were riding together down the road along the coast.   Garus and Ted had stayed behind to tend to a few things before leaving town, and would join at the Lost Coast Road Gate in Magnimar.  Oggrash in particular was less taciturn than usual.  His voyage from Kaer Maga in the Cinderlands to the great Arcadian Ocean to the west, started two years ago, was almost at an end.
“So what brings a big ball of rage like you all the way out here?” Raoul asked as the horses trotted along the road.  Oggrash looked off to the shore for a moment.
“I’m from the east.  The Cinderlands.  Mother is Shoanti, my tribe’s shaman.  Father, well,” Ogg jutted out his lower jaw, highlighting the protruding tusks that were his lower canines, “mother and father did last long.  She won, he died in the dust.  My people, they feared me well enough, but enough didn’t respect me.  So I decided to leave.  The ocean seemed like a nice change.  We haves seas of dust and grass in the steppes, but not this.”
Ogg gestured out to the vast shore and ocean beyond the road.
“And you?  You’re not from here.  The accent gives you away,” Oggrash said to Raoul.
“Ah ha!  No fooling you.  No, I am from Cheliax!” the paladin said brightly.
“As in the Infernal Cheliax, Empire of Asmodeus, oh valorous and honorable servant of Iomedae the Just?” asked Oggrash, one eyebrow raised.
“Well, you can see why I would leave!  You’re not the only one whose people don’t respect you.  Mine just wanted to put me on a pyre or use me as payment for some diabolist’s contract!” exclaimed Raoul, perhaps a bit more lightheartedly than Oggrash would have expected.
“I guess that makes sense,” mused Oggrash.  He turned to look back at the coast as they road.
The House of Deja-Fu
Upon arriving in Magnimar via the northern gate to the Lost Coast Road the party quickly secured lodgings in the nearest inn and bedded down to prepare searching for Foxglove’s townhome.
When day broke, Garus and Ted had still not arrived, so Vinder, Oggrash and Raoul set out to find the Foxglove Townhouse.  Shortly after the party left the inn Raoul spied a city watchmen hurriedly striding down a road and accosted him.
“Sir, a moment!  We are looking for a particular residence, of the Foxglove Family!  Can you tell us where we might find it?”
The watchmen halted abruptly, somewhat incredulous, and seethed at Raoul, “Do I look like a tour guide?  Did you notice that I am moving quickly?  As in, towards something that needs a watchman.  I’m here to keep this city safe, not play host to tin cans that can’t read maps! “
With that the watchman hurried down the street and around a corner.
“Hmmph, could have been a bit more polite about it,” said Raoul with mild disdain.  He started out again down the street.  Vinder and Ogg shared a glance and followed along.  After a few blocks, Raoul located a second watchman who was not in any apparent rush to do anything.  This particular watchmen was settled in at street corner, almost appearing to be rooted in place like a statue.  He was rather rotund, with an almost absurd mustache and stood stock still except of a slow swivel of his head.  His eye observing the carriages and passersby laconically.
“Sir!” Raoul said as he came up to the watchman, who raised an eyebrow and regarded him blankly.
“My good sir, could you possibly help us in locating a house?”
The watchmen glanced aside, confused momentarily, then back at Raoul, “Not really in m’line of work, but I might be able to help.”
“We are looking for the Foxglove Family townhome.  The same Foxgloves who hold a manor up on the Lost Coast.”
“Well, let’s see.  Not too sure, but if you head south, should be in the knobby neighborhood.  If you get to the Drunkard’s Lament, you‘ve gone too far,” he spoke slowly.  After a pause he added, “Or at least far enough for something else, I’d wager.”
“Thank you, kind sir,” Raoul said cheerfully.  The trio began down the street in the direction the watchmen had indicated.
The neighborhood did noticeably shift after a few blocks, into something entirely “knobby” as the watchman had put it.  Shops and walk-ups transitioned to proper townhomes with walled courtyards and tasteful stonework facades.  Nothing in particular stood out.  When the next block revealed a large building complete with a sign bearing a tankard and what appeared to be a signing, or possibly crying, crowd, the group turned around to look more closely at the houses they had passed.
After half a block of back-tracking, one three-story house, upon closer inspection, seemed to have had the windows boarded up from the inside.  Vinder produced the pair of keys from Foxglove Manor, glanced up and down the street, saw nothing suspicious, and unlocked the door.
Beyond was a shaded, dilapidated courtyard.  This might once have been a charming garden with a fountain, but neglect had left it overgrown.  Vines had clogged the open space above the courtyard and the fountained had turned green with algae.  The paths were still walkable, but soon would be lost to bushes and flowers gone rampant.
There were three doors besides the one to the street.  One door on a room attached to the wall to the street opened into a storage room filled with nails, boards and some tools.  Opposite the courtyard from the street entrance was the main double door of the townhome.  To the right, a small passage along the side of the townhome led to what appeared to be a service door. None of the doors in the courtyard were locked.
Vinder investigated the front double doors, detected nothing unusual, and stepped into the house.   It was dark, the boarded windows on the walls blocking almost all the light.  Oggrash and Vinder could both see, but Raoul lacked the gift of darkvision.  After a moment Vinder seemed to notice the paladin struggling with the darkness, his heavy armor bouncing off furniture.  A quick gesture and a few muttered phrases set Raoul’s shield alight with a magical glow.  Raoul glanced around.
“There is definitely something evil here.  I can feel it,” the paladin told the others.  He was feeling the tell-tale itch that meant something foul was near.
The first floor was appointed as befit a townhome in this posh neighborhood, but all signs pointed to a long abandoned house.  Dust and disuse had left the rooms musty.  As the group came to the second floor the scene repeated itself.  While the trio were searching, Vinder heard what sounded like silverware and glasses clinking above.  He held up a hand to wave at Ogg and Raoul when a voice floated down the stairs.
“Come on up, we know you are here.  There is plenty of food!”
The three looked at each other.  Ogg, then Raoul, and then Vinder walked up the stairs warily.  As they turned the landing and cautiously walked up to the top of the stairs, they saw a hallway opening onto a wide room.  The room took up the back half of the house, with the hallway running from the room, past the stairs, and towards the street-ward side of the house.  Inside the open room was a dining table, chairs askew.  At the table sat Aldern and Iesha Foxglove.  In the far back corner of the room Sherriff Hemlock appeared to be bound and gagged, struggling against his bonds.
Oggrash walked into the hall and up to the point where the main dining room took over.  Raoul started slowly moving to the far wall of the hallway past Oggrash, towards the far corner where Hemlock sat.  Vinder remained coiled at the top of the stairs, and stealthily readied a spell.  Iesha and Aldern stood, smiling.   Iesha gestured expansively to the table, while Aldern beckoned the group to sit in the chairs.
As Raoul continued his slow walk around the perimeter of the hall and into the dining room Oggrash stepped closer to the table, but did not sit.  He held his great sword in one hand, and regarded the two seemingly alive persons in front of him. Oggrash was fairly certain that Aldern had been slain the afternoon before in Foxglove Manor, and Iesha should be a ghost haunting Aldern’s former home.  Hemlock was last seen at the Rusty Dragon less than a day ago.
While Oggrash was trying to decide just how to approach the silent Foxgloves family, Vinder heard a noise towards the street.  The hallway led to a doorway, which appeared to open slightly.  He released the spell he had readied, sending a magical message to his companions.
“Something is beyond the door behind you, trying to close it now.”
With another quick word and hidden gesture Vinder closed the door.  There was no lock to latch, but at least they would not be caught completely off guard.
Oggrash spoke to the Foxgloves, “This… is odd.  Unless I am seriously mistaken, you should be dead.”
The Foxgloves stared at Oggrash, and their expressions melted from amused invitations to snarls of rage.  Hemlock burst free of his bonds and leapt towards Raoul as the paladin lunged toward the supposed sheriff.  The door at the end of the hallway was thrown open and Garus swarmed forward towards Vinder.  Aldern dodge around the table to flank Vinder on the other side, while Iesha moved to engage Raoul.  As they moved, the creatures imitating the Foxgloves, Hemlock and Garus morphed into hairless, leathery creatures.  Their faces dissolved into featureless whorls of flesh and slits where eyes and mouths would be.
The two creatures surrounding Vinder tried to strike out with swords, but missed as Vinder dodged.  As he ducked the second sword swing, Vinder tapped into his inner reserves of arcane power and rent the air before him, stepping through and appearing in the far corner of the room opposite Raoul and his pair of faceless assailants.  As soon as he stopped moving he targeted Aldern with a scorching ray and unleashed flames over the creature.  Oggrash let loose his rage and his form began to blur as he slashed at the singed Aldern.  Raoul and the two aberrations he was engaged with began trading blows.  Raoul’s sword struck true, but the creatures were unable to penetrate his armor.
The Aldern-thing and Garus-thing refocused on Oggrash.  They landed blows, but the raging half-orc seemed immune to the blows from their swords and continued hacking with his greatsword.  Under Vinder’s magical onslaught of fire the Aldern-thing fell to the ground, burned and twitching.  Oggrash cleaved the Garus-thing through the shoulder and across the chest.  It too fell to the ground, blood soaking into the floor.  Raoul dispatched the Hemlock creature, but before he could turn to Iesha’s gruesome double the leathery beast fled to the stairs in an attempt to escape.
Oggrash lunged and vaulted over the banister down the stairs, blocking the creature, but failed to connect with his blade in the tight space.  The monster responded by grabbing Oggrash, bear hugging the half-orc, then slamming him to the stairs.  As it lay atop Oggrash a slit in the creature’s face split open and a tongue like tentacle lashed out.  The tentacle buried itself in the flesh of Ogg’s shoulder, sucking at his blood and sapping some of his resilience.
Vinder quickly summoned a splash of grease, coating Ogg and causing the creature’s grip to falter.  Ogg seized the opportunity, ripping the tongue from his shoulder and pinning the creature to the stairs.  Vinder and Raoul joined in, with Vinder pulling rope from his pack.  Raoul and Vinder managed to bind the creature while Oggrash struggled to keep it pinned down.
After the fight Oggrash dragged the snarling creature up to the landing while Vinder and Raoul investigated the rest of the top floor.  To the right side of the hall was a bathroom with an ornate iron tub.  To the left was a study, followed by a large bedroom.  The three rejoined in the hallway where Ogg was finishing off a curing potion to restore some of the damage he had suffered.  Raoul laid a hand on the fatigued bloodrager and Oggrash felt his fatigue lift.  He nodded thanks to the paladin.
“Study and bedroom, bathroom,” noted Vinder, pointing out each room.
“I think we need to get some information from this beast,” said Raoul while glancing disgustedly at the writhing creature.
“You said there is a bathtub?” asked Ogg.  He lifted the creature and walked down the hall.  Vinder pointed to the door on the right.  Ogg carried the beast inside and threw it down into the tub.
“Who sent you?” Oggrash asked the creature, glowering into the tub with his sword poised as If to strike.
The faceless monstrosity snarled in a strange tongue and thrashed angrily.  Raoul punched the beast in the head.  It spat out another unintelligible phrase and seemed to grin from the largest slit on its’ face.  Vinder cast another spell, and the snarls formed oddly coherent words.
“It’s not worth telling you anything!” grunted the beast, “You are all dead anyway you stupid fools.  Nothing I say will change that.”
“This is getting us nowhere,” Ogg grunted.  He pulled the creature up by its’ bonds, grabbed the creature’s warped hand and roughly pulled a finger across the edge of the tub.  Ogg brought the edge of his sword down across the finger, severing the digit cleanly.  The creature howled in rage and pain as Ogg released it back into the deep tub, and spat another insult at the half-orc.
“Ha! You think that matters?! She would do far worse!”
Vinder sighed impatiently and made another gesture while muttering some arcane words.  The scent of hot iron and burning flesh began to fill the room, along with the sound of pinging metal.  The beast in the tub began to squirm.
“You can die how you choose.  Anything to tell us now?” Vinder asked impassively.
“You’ll all die before her children! There is nothing to stop her!” screeched the creature as it struggled in the tub.
Vinder gestured again and the sounds and smells grew thick in the room.  The creature was surrounded by a haze of heat coming off the tub.  It started screeching as the heat started to burn leathery flesh.  Oggrash brought the hilt of his sword down hard on the creature’s head, silencing it.  He walked out of the room and the rest followed.
Oggrash and Raoul began moving the bodies to the side of the hall while Vinder looked around.  Behind the table strewn with plates and wine glasses was a fireplace and upon it were two ornate lion head statues in brass.  Vinder ran his hands around the statues looking for traps or magic, but none appeared present.  Inside the mouth of one lion he noticed a keyhole. He drew out the second, ornate key from the Manor.   The top of the key was an ornate lion’s head.  He inserted the key and turned.  The lock opened with a click, and revealed lined compartment containing a flat wooden box and a hefty pouch that jingled when he lifted it.  Vinder smiled appreciatively, then  placed the box and purse on the table.
Raoul and Oggrash joined Vinder at the table.  Vinder poured out the purse.  A quick count showed some two hundred pieces of platinum.  With a low whistle and a glance around the table, he put the coins back in the purse.  Oggrash picked up one of the wine glasses, raised it in salute, and emptied the glass.  Vinder continued to the wooden box.  Once opened the box revealed a ledger book and a stack of papers.  Vinder rifled through the papers.
“Just legal documents and the like, nothing interesting,” he said.  There was a burst of sound and a shriek from the bathroom, then silence.  The group looked up from the table to watch for a moment.  The hall remained empty, and no further sounds emanated from the room.  They turned back to the table and the ledger book.  Vinder starting flipping through pages, quickly scanning the entries.  On the last few pages he slowed down.
“Well.  Interesting.  Looks like Aldern was paying someone called “B.7” two hundred gold a week for “Iesha’s Trip to Absalom”.  He was dropping payment Oathday at midnight at a place called the “Seven’s Sawmill”.  Pretty sure Iesha is deader than those things,” Vinder said, waving vaguely to the dead creatures in the hall as he read.
“More clues,” grunted Ogg as he got up and walked to look into the bathroom, “Dead,” he said after looking through the door.
“Nice to have the oppressive burn of evil out of my head.  Well, let’s get this place cleaned up so we have a place to stay!” beamed Raoul.
Oggrash and Vinder stared at the paladin, disbelieving what they heard.  The house was still dimly lit.  The scent of blood was heavy in the air.  Light coming off Raoul’s shield was casting ghastly shadows across the charred corpses and blood in the formerly tasteful third floor of the house.   Bloody footprints covered the floor from the stairs, across the dining room and hallway and into the bathroom.
“You want to stay here?  Where these creatures knew we were coming, set a trap, and tried to kill us?” asked Oggrash in a deadpan voice.
“Sure.  At least here we know they are coming for us,” said Raoul, full of confidence.
“I think that is a horrible idea,” said Vinder flatly, “The rest of the group have no idea where we are, and whoever these things are working for could come and kill us off in our sleep.  No one would even know.  I’m going back to the Inn.  Ogg needs rest from that… sucking.  And I need to gather my energies for whatever is coming next.  And we need to share this ledger with Garus and Ted, and figure out what to do next.”
“Well, fine.  Shame though.  This could be a real nice house with a little clean-up and after we take those boards off the windows…”

Bacterial community structure and the predominant nitrifying activities and populations in each compartment of a three-compartment activated sludge system were determined, Each compartment was originally inoculated with the same activated sludge community entrapped in polyethylene glycol gel granules, and ammonium nitrogen was supplied to the system in an inorganic salts solution at a rate of 5.0 g of N liter of granular activated sludge(-1) day(-1). After 150 days of operation, the system was found to comprise a series of sequential nitrifying reactions (K, Note, T. Ogasawara, Y, Suwa, and T. Sumino, Water Res. 32:769-773, 1998), presumably mediated by different bacterial populations. Activity data showed that all NH4-N was completely oxidized in compartments one and two (approximately half in each), but no significant nitrite oxidation was observed in these compartments. In contrast, all available nitrite was oxidized to nitrate in compartment three. To study the microbial populations and communities in this system, total bacterial DNA isolated from each compartment was analyzed for community structure based on the G+C contents of the component populations. Compartment one showed dominant populations having 50 and 67% G+C contents. Compartment two was similar in structure to compartment one, The bacterial community in compartment three had dominant populations with 62 and 67% G+C contents and retained the 50% G+C content population only at a greatly diminished level, The 50% G+C content population from compartment one hybridized strongly with amo (ammonia monooxygenase) and hao (hydroxylamine oxidoreductase) gene probes from Nitrosomonas europaea. However, the 50% G+C content population from compartment two hybridized strongly with the hao probe but only weakly with the amo probe, suggesting that the predominant ammonia-oxidizing populations in compartments one and two might be different. Since different activities and populations come to dominate in each compartment from an identical inoculum, it appears that the nitrification processes may be somewhat incompatible, resulting in a series of sequential reactions and different communities in this three-compartment system.

This posting may be a little later than most would expect, but believe it our not my last round of holiday gifting just happened!I know so late!I had a very ambitious year and I actually managed to complete all in a reasonable timeline…
Too ambitious?…nah..I enjoyed every minute of it!Even more enjoyable wasrealized what I had given them…I most certainly love to gift and when the gift is handmade, there’s more than just a little added love…
My absolute favorite gifting moment was my husband on Christmas morning when he opened up a little box and nestled inside was a new hat and a pair of socks…Immediately it was, “WHAT THE HELL!WHEN DID YOU- HOW- WHAT?”…(TO BE CLEAR: he knew of the countless hours, days, and nights I spent knitting 3 blankets so he couldn’t figure out when I had made HIM new knits….) Can we all remember those first few posts I wrote where I said I was a very big subway knitter..you can complete and hide so many many projects from the hubs!(And for the record..he has been living in those new socks and hat so they were a hit as well!
Also, I would add that the last blanket was finished the weekend following Christmas morning when the 1st blanket was finally opened.. so as to be gifted in time on New Years Day…. yikes!So, how about a look at all the squishy goodness?

Since it was founded in 1996, Seatruck Ferriessector and its significant investments in the freight-only RoRo ferry services, focused on the unaccompanied drop trailer market. Seatruck is different from its competitors; its speciesism is freight and they operate a fleet of RoRo ships that have a maximum passenger capacity of 12 drivers. It operates on longer crossings – generally unlike its competitors – such as Dublin-Liverpool/Heysham and Warrenpoint-Heysham rather than using ports such as Holyhead or Cairnryan.
In his talk, Alistair discussed how Seatruck is a valued alternative way of getting goods from A-B for many logistics providers. The service helps take trailers and vehicles off the road by offering a ferry service that docks much closer to the loads origin or end destination, saving valuable time for drivers. The company has already significantly upped its frequencies and capacity on its Dublin-Liverpool route this year, almost doubling capacity with up to four additional roundtrips midweek.
2017 is expected to be another exciting year for Seatruck, namely due to the recently opened M6 Connector Road, which gives Heysham port direct motorway access to the M6, connecting junction 34 of the M6 directly to the Port. This completely bypasses the current traffic bottleneck of Lancaster Town, making the port significantly more attractive for transporting trailers through to end destinations in Scotland and Northern England. Capacity will be enhanced on services to/from Heysham as demand grows.
Seatruck see immense potential for the UK and Irish economies to benefit from greater use of the Irish Sea as a key cargo route and by using the hub ports of Liverpool and Heysham. The future looks very bright for those with existing logistical strengths in these geographic areas, with additional frequencies and capacity improving supply chain performance.
CILT would very much like to thank, Alistair Eagles CMILT, CEO of Seatruck Ferries and his Dublin based team for organising and hosting this successful event. CILT is due to facilitate another visit in spring 2017. If you are interested, keep an eye out as it is likely to be very popular once again.

Blog: Fair’s fair – A response to the ‘Small Print, Big Difference’ campaign
Author: Alex Prentice - Sector Lead
Inunfair terms and conditions within the travel sector.
The campaign aims to “, making sure that they are “upfront and clear with their customers”, especially when it comes down to charges, fees and cancellation terms.
After all, countless holiday-makers rely on businesses like these to ensure their trips go off without a hitch – and if a hitch does materialise, they assume the businesses will be able to appropriately respond, offering refunds, alternative arrangements and other reparations.
If a firm were to suddenly turn around and say that they aren’t able to provide this because of the terms and conditions signed during the run-up to the holiday, it’s pretty obvious that trust will be eroded. It’s unlikely that a holiday-maker will return to their packaged deal provider if, for example, they don’t offer refunded deposits for a beach-side villa becoming inaccessible due to natural disaster, a rented car breaking-down due to owner negligence or a long night spent waiting in a terminal for a plane that never takes off.
All nightmare scenarios for the flip-flop-wearing, cabin-bag-carrying travellers that spend an estimated £81 billion on travel, of course.
The word from the CMA
Consumer law allows businesses to recoup their losses from cancellations – caused by personal circumstance or external events – by charging small cancellation fees, but this must be in proportion to the costs that the businesses face.
But while this is largely expected by travellers, customers have wildly varying opinions on what constitutes a fair cancellation fee. A national survey by Ipsos Mori released by the CMA highlighted that 89% of travellers feel thhe business cancels and resells their booking, and 85% thought it unfair that they would have to pay part of the cost of a cancelled booking. 66% of travellers felt that the business they booked with does not always make it easy to cancel, and a fifth of them believe they had been treated unfairly.
But, as we have previously discussed in terms of pricing structures within the insurance sector, ‘fairness’ is a fluid, subjective concept, and hardly simple to describe in certain terms. The CMA defines ‘fair’, in this regard, as ‘any legal term that would give a business unfair advantage in a transaction’. This could be, for example, a travel agent requiring a large, upfront and non-refundable deposit, regardless of the risk to the business.
These terms are more likely to be fair if the terms of cancellations and refunds are clearly explained, and customers have a good idea of how the cancellation would impact them.
The CMA’s dedicated website for the ‘Small Print, Big Difference’ campaign provides a guide for businesses that outlines its ideals of fairness. By using the basest legal framework from the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the CMA sets something of a base from which travel firms can build the fair terms and contracts that will keep customers returning for all their holiday needs.
Legally binding terms – travel firms (and those in sectors further afield) must realise that contract terms are not legally binding if they are determined to be unfair through a ‘fairness test’.
Non-refundable deposits – Terms that say deposits are non-refundable are likely to be unfair.
Automatic Renewals – While contracts of all sorts are able to roll over or be automatically renewed at the end of term, customers must be properly informed before signing the initial contract that this automatic renewal will take place. They must also be allowed to cancel the contract ahead of this.
Unclear language – ‘legalese’ and jargon has no real place in a customer’s contract. If firms rely on unclear or complex language, the contract could be considered unfair.
Changes to terms and conditions – if customers are going to be on a contract for a while, firms often wish to allow for adjustments to the contract at a later date. However, if the terms allow a change to something agreed, firms need to be upfront to their customers at the very beginning of a contract.
Tick boxes – Tick boxes that ask customers to confirm they’ve read terms and conditions are there to bind customers to the terms of a contract. This can be open to objection if there is no reasonable chance of the ‘terms’ being read and understood.
The winding road towards fairness
The discussed pricing discrimination in great length, joining its voice with the CMA and Citizens Advice who, last year, began working through a super-complaint related to the ‘loyalty penalty’ paid by longstanding customers of various services.
From all of this work, we have come to see the journey to fairness as a winding road rather than a direct path. Different businesses will have different commercial pressures, of course, but underlying all contract and pricing considerations should be the identification of the potential for customer harm. The FCA, for example, provides a few evidential questions firms could review in this regard:
How much are individuals harmed?
Is the product / service essential?
Does society view the unfair pricing as egregious?
Not all questions need to be answered to decide whether action over pricing is requiredsatisfied in order to act.
In a free and competitive market, regulators aren’t considered arbitrators of ‘fairness, but they will be looking to ensure that customers are not unduly harmed by unfair contract terms or pricing strategies. They will wishinformed choices. While holiday comparison and booking sites have made this available to a large extent, complicated terms and conditions are holding back the fair outcomes that all customers deserve.
Firms must play a large part in bringing this into reality. It will take some shifts in culture – aided, ideally, by specialist governance consultants and learning experts – as well as a healthy amount of bravery to take those big steps and emerge as companies at the forefront of their industries.


This year, 14 students participated in the internship program with four research assistants. Over the 13 week program, each student went on at least one scallop collecting trip on the water with Captain Carl Sjolund, with most able to go for two!
Students also worked in the lab 2-4 days per week, averaging 42 hours of lab time. They learned all stages of scallop reproductive histology, from collecting and dissecting, to processing and embedding, to sectioning and staining, and finally to evaluating prepared slides under the microscope. All of the students were expected to keep daily lab logs of all work done, data collected, and any observations made in their laboratory notebookin a lab!


How to calculate the half-lifeDetermine the initial amount of a substance. Determine the final amount of a substance – for instance, N(t) = 2.1 kg .Measure how long it took for that amount of material to decay. Input these values into our half-life calculator.
How do you calculate the half life of a reaction?
The half-life of a reaction is the time required for the reactant concentration to decrease to one-half its initial value. The half-life of a first-order reaction is a constant that is related to the rate constant for the reaction: t1/2 = 0.693/k.
How does half life work?
A half-life is computed from the directly measured decay constant — it is the amount of time it takes for half the atoms to decay. But, understand that they don’t all decay at the end of the half-life, but rather they are constantly decaying and the half-life is just how long it takes for half of them to decay.
What is K in Half Life?
Now that we know our half-life, we can plug that in and get K, so it’s 0.693 divided by 2.16 times ten to the four seconds. If we plug this into our calculator, we get that K is equal to 3.21 times ten to the minus five, and our units are one over seconds.
What is meant by half life?
What is an example of half life?
For example, uranium-238 (which decays in a series of steps into lead-206) can be used for establishing the age of rocks (and the approximate age of the oldest rocks on earth). Since U-238 has a half-life of 4.5 billion years, it takes that amount of time for half of the original U-238 to decay into Pb-206.
What is the equation for the half life of a zero order process?
You might be interested: Ph equation
integrated rate law [A] = −kt + [A] ln[A] = −kt + ln[A]
plot needed for linear fit of rate data [A] vs. t ln[A] vs. t
relationship between slope of linear plot and rate constant k = −slope k = −slope
half-life t1/2=[A]02k t1/2=0.693k
Is half life in minutes or seconds?
It had better be in seconds, minutes, etc. A half-life is just a certain amount of time for half of something to go away / react. Therefore, it has the same units as time does. This does not at all depend on the order of the reaction with respect to the reactant.
What is the half life period of first order reaction?

Mabakas Farm School Part II: Mamanwas Come Closer to Achieving Sustainability
By PRJWeb on May 8, 2018
JABONGA, Agusan del Norte – The agricultural potential of Agata communities now reaches the next level in achieving a sustainable future. Since the start of its operations, Agata Mining Ventures Inc. (AMVI) has been a strong partner of the community, particularly in creating ways for the people to harness their resources and achieve financial independence.
Established this year, the Mabakas Farm School serves as another catalyst in imbibing resourcefulness through the utilization of waste soil and recyclable materials such as tires, plastic containers, bottles and even food waste.
“We (Agata) communities have struggled in acquiring and producing viable crops to augment our livelihood. The soil here is highly-mineralized and prevents plants to thrive or become productive,” laments the elderly Mamanwa leader.
“Through this farm school, we can be trained on how to establish an agricultural livelihood for our future,” said Saylang.
The core objective of the Mabakas Farm School is to enhance the Mamanwas’ traditional farming methods and preserving their agricultural heritage while ensuring fruitful harvests. Teacher trainings were conducted by the Department of Agriculture among assigned Agata staff and selected Agro-technicians from the community. Previously, they also explored other organic farms and plantations in Davao City to learn best practices and replicate these at the community level.
“Through the farm school, Agata communities in Jabonga can learn the right agricultural practices and technologies that would pave the way for new and additional opportunities, especially for those who are currently not working – even our out-of-school youth,” according to Community Organizer Sheila Mae Arcala who is in-charge of sharing technologies and learning materials with beneficiary communities in all three municipalities within Agata’s area: Tubay, Santiago and Jabonga.
The weekly trainings are conducted in different batches. The IP Agro-technicians have their training once a week from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Participants are taught to develop organic fertilizers, organic pest repellants, farm maintenance and monitoring as well as other means of ensuring a good harvest.
“Mining communities are now at the stage of empowering themselves after stabilizing their once unproductive lands into a sustainable economic resource. In line with the DENR-MGB mandate, all SDMP programs are now focused on sustainable economic interventions as such this in order to train community Agro-technicians and establishing productive farms,” said Community Relations Superintendent Jojo Banes.
“Mabakas” is a Mamanwa word that stands for “hardworking.” The farm school is a one-hectare facility funded by Agata’s SDMP and includes a lecturing facility, “vermicompost” beds, goat pens, a fresh water fish pond and plots for vegetables, spices and rootcrops.
The launch of the Mabakas Farm School is a major accomplishment for both the CARAGA Region and the province. It is likewise supported by the Office of Senator Cynthia Villar, which allocates Php500 million annually for agriculture scholarships – and which can be also used for the enrolment of students in the farm schools. In the future, the farm school will likely seek an accreditation from the Department of Tourism for it to become a Farm Tourism Site.
Agata is a joint nickel laterite mining project of TVI Resource Development Philippines Inc. (TVIRD) and MRL Philippines. Taking off from its former Techno Demo Farm, which previously served as Jabonga’s municipal dump site, the company established the Farm School in Sitio Coro, Barangay Colorado of this municipality.
The project is a collaborative effort between the Agata Community Relations and Environmental Management Departments, the local government of Jabonga under Mayor Jasmin F. Monton, barangay officials and the indigenous Mamanwa tribal organizations themselves.

The trend toward fancy diamond cuts started last year with the popularity of cushion cut shapes. I still get a lot of inquiries about cushion cuts, but as the year has progressed, ovals and marquis diamonds are getting more and more attention.
Will this trend continue? I hope so. Round brilliant and princess cut diamonds are beautiful and I love working with them, but I also love creating designs that showcase unique shapes.
Rose gold has been trending for a couple of years now, and some of the rose gold rings I’ve made are among my favorites ever. In the long run though, it’s not clear whether rose gold is going to stay hot or be a trend that passes, dating the rings made during this time.
In this light, design matters. No one has a crystal ball, but imake sure you really think you’re going to love it no matter how the fashion winds blow in the future. Also, the copper in rose gold makes it easier to bend than white or yellow gold, so it’s important to make sure the design is sturdy enough for every day wear.
Lots of clients just want to see the sparkle, with as little metal as possible showing in their engagement ring. I love sparkle, but this is a trend I worry about.but if there isn’t enough metal to support the gemstones, they can fall out over time. It’s vital to make sure you have enough metal for the ring to withstand everyday wear, especially in the age of granite countertops. Diamonds are the hardest of the gemstones, but they can still break or be dislodged if you hit them in the right way.
I love vintage detail! Milgrain (those little bumps), engraving, and delicate beadworks are all hallmarks of this trend, and they add timeless elegance to rings. Because this trend is based on the best designs of the past, it is less likely that vintage jewellery is going to go out of style. Timeless classics never do! The trend to vintage doesn’t negate the need for clean design lines though. The hardest designs to pull off are the ones that look the simplest. Clean lines are what make modern rings work, and keep vintage rings from looking cluttered.
I’ve always loved stacking bands together. It’s a great way to mix and match different metals and patterns. If you like stacking your bands, make sure your engagement ring is constructed so that when the wedding band is added there is noThen, you can stack away!
In my business, personalization is also important. Custom engagement rings offer the chance to put something extra of yourself into your ring. Incorporating a hidden gemstone, message or detail that reflects your relationship is a great way to make your ring as unique as you are.

No fear my husband couldn’t make it home, no worries about would I have somewhere safe for 1st child at a moment’s notice. We were even able to tell the grandparents approximately when to bring her in to meet her sister. The surgery was more pleasant too – I wasn’t exhausted from labor, I wasn’t in pain, there was plenty of time for the anesthesiologist to fiddle around getting everything perfect …

A Bank Accidentally Gave A Couple $120,000 And Now They're Getting Charged With Felony Theft For Spending It
Ohios Tate9/09/2019 2:00 PM
https://wnep.com/2019/09/06/state-police-couple-went-on-spending-spree-after-accidental-deposit-of-120k-in-bank-account/
MONTOURSVILLE, Pa. -- A couple in Lycoming County is facingmore than $100,000 into their account. Int BB&T on May 31st through a mistake by a teller. But instead of contacting the bank about the deposit, the couple allegedly spent most of the money. All in two and a half weeks, between June 3 through the 19th.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. What ever happened to the universally accepted rule of Finders/Keepers? You're telling me that if the bank randomly transfers you $120,000 that it's NOT yours? That is news to me. I'd take it as a sign from God that I'm doing something right.
So what are you supposed to do, call them and ask why you're suddenly a hundred thousand dollars richer? That's like the kid in class that raises his hand and tells the teacher they forgot to check the homework. Or that they got a quiz question wrong but it was marked right. You just need to keep your mouth shut and accept that you got lucky. Which is exactly what this couple did.
Court papers show after those two initial phone calls from the bank, the couple had no contact with bank representatives, despite several attempts by the bank to reach them. The couple is now facing felony theft charges.
Uhhh ya think? I'm not calling the bank back. If they want to come hunt me down, fine. But there's no chance I go out of my way to help them. My move is to disconnect my phone, withdraw all of the money, and close my bank account.
I've thought about it quite a bit this morning, and I can't think of a better plan. These two lovebirds had a much different idea though. They decided to spend as much as they could…..immediately. They spent $107,000 in just over two weeks. And I wouldn't call their purchases "needs".
A race car. They bought a race car. This is so hilarious to me because honestly, I'd bet that 8 out of 10 people probably do report this crediting mistake to their bank. But out of the other 20% of the world that is scumbags, how many go buy a race car right away? Maybe 2 people? And those are the two that got this money.
Why does this always seem to happen? Normal people don't win the lottery. Normal people don't get $120,000 transferred to their bank account. It always seems to happen to backwoods hillbillies like this:
But anyways, now that the bank has found out their mistake, they obviously want their money back. But the couple just doesn't have that money anymore. So what do you think should happen?? Give back the car? Give back what they have left? Nope! They were arrested and charged with felony theft.

Felony theft???? For receiving stolen property??? They didn't steal anything! They were given the money, and they spent it! Doesn't that mean that for them to receive stolen property, someone had to steal it? So is the bank teller going away too for felony theft?
This is so wrong on so many levels. Could you imagine doing 5 years in prison for waking up one day and finding that you had $120,000 in your bank account? This is entrapment. You can't give two hillbillies $120K and expect them not to spend it. The bank is the real criminal here, not the racecar drivers.


an exceptional devotion to duty and a WATE award for Robin is in our view long overdue."
- A fantastic lecturer that makes students feel very involved. His lectures are fun and informative.
- He has the ability to engage minds and we are lucky to have him. He's the best lecturer I've had and on.
- Professor Naylor holds the students attention in a firm way, but does it with a fantastic sense of humour, allowing lectures to be fun to attend.
- He is a very effective and interactive lecturer and I regard his lectures above all others. He sends us regular emails to let us know where we are in terms of the course and what we should know. This is a good way of making sure everyone is up to date and confident.
- He shows genuine enthusiasm in his teaching. He can also be entertaining, which always helps in keeping the lecture hall attentive.
- The lectures in this module are by far the best I have had. The lecturer engages everyone, explains concepts clearly and relates them to current or everyday situations.
- Very interactive and explained brilliantly. Cannot see room for improvement!
- My favourite lecturer by far. He is engaging, makes the lecture interactive, and overall has struck a good balance of a relaxed atmosphere but one in which students are keen and ready to learn.
- The man is a credit to the university.
- An absolutely great lecturer. Robin explains things fully, and supports us throughout the week with material beyond the lecture slides. There is high participation in lectures, and we're often asked to discuss or respond to questions, and this provides a great learning environment in lectures.
- Robin Naylor is the only lecturer who makes a lecture hall full of 200+ students seem like a classroom with only 5. Lectures are interactive, captivating and interesting.
- Robin Naylor is, by far and away, the best."

zechoslovakian (or from 1993, when the country split peacefully, Czech Republic and Slovakia) films?
Well, ... urrm... aaahh....
Actually, nothing springs to mind! I cannot recall having seen a Czech or Slovak film in the art-house cinemas, nor during late night SBS channel flicking! Similarly, no actor, director, producer or writer from the former Czechoslovakia who has made the leap from their local industry to the English language mainstream (i.e. Hollywood) springs to mind which is, I imagine, the most common way a consumer of mainstream films would ever become aware of an artist from a non-English speaking background.
Fortunately for Melbourne's cinema going public, a small, dedicated group of Czech and Slovak film connoisseurs have worked tirelessly to create the inaugural Czech and Slovak Film Festival, with a fine selection of features and short films. Spanning from 1948 to 2012, there is a mix of live action and animation, across many genres and something to suit every taste and age group.
Perusing the festival guide, you'll notice that many of the films on presentation are by director Jiri Trnka, which is why it is so fitting that The Boite, with support from the Consulate of the Czech Republic, have teamed up with CaSFFA to present an exhibition on Trnka. Entitled 'Serving Imagination', it showcases the life and artistic work of the man once hailed as the "Disney of the East" (he was also producing films in the animated form in the early twentieth century, around the same time as the famed Western animator).
However, Trnka's artistic contribution does not end with animated films. The exhibition gives the impression that the man was insanely talented: puppet maker, puppetry theatre director, author, illustrator (Hans Christian Andersen Award-winner), graphic and poster designer, painter, and sculptor.
Coupled with the exhibition, The Boite, in conjunction with The Melbourne Cinematheque and CaSFFA, are presenting several of Trnka's filmson Saturday the 25th May from 12.30pm, and Wednesday 5th June from 7pm. Of the films on offer at these two sessions, the short films Cybernetic Grandma and The Hand look like they will be particular highlights.
The festival proper commences with the opening night gala on Thursday the 6th of June. The gala will kick off at 6pm, with drinks and nibbles at the RMIT Capitol Theatre, with the opening night film In the Shadow to commence at 7pm. Set in gloomy Prague of the 1950's, drawing on the film noir tradition, In the Shadow details the investigation of a Captain in the Communist police force into a robbery at a goldsmith's shop. However, he uncovers evidence that indicates the case is not as routine as first thought; and why is State Security taking an interest in such a mundane case? Definitely jump onto the festival website to pre-purchase your tickets, as recipient of nine Czech Lions Awards is bound to be popular.
From the gala opening to the closing night party, the festival is held at the RMIT Capitol Theatre (113), and runs from Thursday 6 June to Sunday 9 June. Although there are too many films to mention individually here (check out the full programme at the festival website), the films presented show that although Czechoslovakia dissolved 20 years ago, a spirit of collaboration still exists within the film industries of the two countries, and indeed, many of the countries of the region.
I have picked out several films which sound interesting, from Private Universe, a documentary chronicling 37 years in the life of a Czech family, to The Blue Tiger, a children's film mixing live action with animation, and showing how a child's wish in the form of a blue tiger, may be able to save a run-down Prague neighbourhood from redevelopment at the hands of a corrupt mayor. The comedy Identity Card, set in the 70's, follows the lives of four boys, to 18, when the threat of military service over-shadows their lives.
I encourage you to check out the program, select the films which sound most interesting to you, and use the CaSFFA as an opportunity to enjoy films rarely available to us here in Melbourne, yet are by all accounts, a real treat to experience!
I enjoyed your writing Aaron.


We have stumbled upon an interesting thread on the Typesafe SLICK user group where Slick was compared to jOOQ. In that thread, Christopher Vogt has made a couple of interesting statements.
But let us have a look at the broader context, first.
Unifying Stuff
Ever since the proclamation of UDDI or RUP, we may think that the U for Unified is a clear and unmistakable indicator for what Joel Spolsky would call architecture astronautitis. In case you’ve missed those hilarious posts, here they are:
April 21, 2001: Don’t Let Architecture Astronauts Scare You
October 21, 2005: Architecture Astronauts are Back
May 01, 2008: Architecture Astronauts Take Over
Today, many software vendors are again trying to unify database query languages. Erik Meijer’s LINQ was the most successful attempt at doing so, so far. But even LINQ doesn’t compare to Codd’s visions, which were about replacing the whole data model first by a rock-solid mathematical theory, and only then, thinking about appropriate languages to query such data models.
Flexible vs. rigid abstractions
We believe that unifying query languages to query RDBMS, XML, Objects, and NoSQL is a bad idea because such a unification is subject to either:
being a flexible abstraction
being a rigid abstraction
If an abstraction is flexible, then the heterogeneous implementation details of the abstracted data stores will inevitably leak into the query language and into your application. You don’t gain too much, for the price of adding more layers and boiler-plate.
If an abstraction is rigid, then the unified query language (LINQ, JPQL, etc.) may be concise, but it will inevitably abstract away 80% of all useful features of the underlying data store. LINQ cannot meet the expressivity of SQL. Neither can it match the power of XPath/XQuery/XSLT/XProc, which is the most appropriate tool chain for XML. Maybe, it cannot even match what Java 8 calls the Streams API, which is very likely to become the most appropriate tool chain for objects and collections in Java.
We’ve already compared Slick with jOOQ in our manual’s preface. Now, Christopher Vogt has made a clear statement about what SLICK is supposed to be and what SQL is:
There are understandable mistakes when your mind is (still) set on SQL. […]
Good luck with jooq and check back if you are ever annoyed by SQL semantics and want Scala back :).
That is only an extract of what Christopher said, of course, and there’s certainly quite a bit of goodness in SLICK. SLICK’s mission is to provide Scala collection semantics when querying databases. That might be a desireable thing to have in the Scala platform, specifically when comparing SLICK with LINQ.
But we’ve mentioned it before, on our blog. SQL is not an undesirable language or technology. Like any legacy technology, SQL has its ways. We’ve blogged about that, too, lots of times. SQL is a standard that is constantly evolving and that is here to stay. In our opinion, any technology operating on RDBMS but at the same time aiming for hiding SQL or abstracting it away completely is against the inevitable trend imposed by the big elephants who will not let go of their best-selling technologies.
SQL is about 10 years ahead of alternative RDBMS querying methods – most specifically Java, Scala, C# collection-based ones. T-SQL has now entered the TIOBE Top 10 and is considered by TIOBE to be the language of the year 2013, PL/SQL isn’t too far behind. Don’t fight SQL any longer, embrace it. Or in Christopher Vogt’s words:
Check back with SQL/jOOQ, if you are ever annoyed by the increasing amount of leaky or rigid abstraction created by modern language architects!

jOOQ Newsletter: December 30, 2013. Happy New Year!
We would like to contribute this new section of the newsletter to our followers, users, and customers. Here’s Andy Van Den Heuvel, who appreciates jOOQ’s and MyBatis’ (both being “post-JPA” frameworks) return to SQL.

2013 from jOOQ’s perspective
2013 was a very exciting year for jOOQ and jOOQ customers. Not only did we create a company to offer commercial licensing and support, but we have also released the awesome jOOQ 3.0 major release, which brought row-level typesafety to SQL in Java. No competitor product on the market currently lifts SQL to be a first-class citizen in Java as we do. In other words, 2013 was a great year for Java and SQL in general.
After 3.0, great minor releases followed suit:
jOOQ 3.1 with support for MariaDB, SQL Server 2012, Oracle 12c, and a new sophisticated SPI to interact with POJO mapping
jOOQ 3.2 with new SPIs to interact with record and query rendering lifecycles for advanced SQL transformation. We also introduced a new matcher strategy to allow for fine-grained control over jOOQ’s code generation.
And 2014 won’t be less exciting, as we’re adding support for another popular commercial database: MS Access, besides being the first and only SQL abstraction framework to implement keyset paging in such an intuitive syntax.
In that sense, let us wish you a Happy New Year and a great start to 2014!
It is easy for technical folks like software developers and architects to understand why jOOQ adds value to your projects. You’re the workers and as such, you need the right tools. While there are free alternatives (like Gimp), you’re a database professional who prefers to use the market leader (like Photoshop).
But the market leader costs money and your manager needs to be convinced that the money is spent wisely. No problem we told ourselves, and created this simple presentation that can help you convince your managers:
The above presentation compares jOOQ with the industry standard means of accessing RDBMS:
JDBC
JPA
This comparison will then be used to explain the return on investment (ROI) that your team will get by using jOOQ.
After another welcoming and interesting talk at the JUGS in Berne, we are happy to announce that our talk will now also be hosted in Hamburg, in January 2014:

SQL Zone – LATERAL joins
Few people may be aware of the SQL:1999 standard LATERAL keyword, which can be applied to table expressions in the FROM clause, in order to allow them to cross-reference other tables within the same FROM clause. This is extremely useful when joining non-scalar table-valued functions to each record of physical tables.
T-SQL (SQL Server and Sybase) users have known this feature for a long time under the vendor-specific CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY join keywords. With the recent releases of PostgreSQL 9.3 and Oracle 12c, other databases can now finally also profit from this SQL goodie.

MySQL Bad Idea #666
MySQL… We’ve blogged about MySQL before. Many times. We’ve shown bad ideas implemented in MySQL here:
But this beats everything. Check out this Stack Overflow question. It reads: “Why Oracle does not support ‘group by 1,2,3’?”. At first, I thought this user might have been confused because SQL allows for referencing columns by (1-based!) index in ORDER BY clauses:
The above is equivalent to ORDER BY first_name, last_name. The indexes 1, 2 refer to columns from the projection. This might be useful every now and then to avoid repeating complex column expressions, although it is probably a bit risky as you can change ordering semantics when adding a column to the SELECT clause.
But this user wanted to use the same syntax for the GROUP BY clause. And this actually works in MySQL! Check out the following query:
SELECT 'a' a, 'b' b, 'c' c UNION ALL
SELECT 'a'  , 'c'  , 'c'   UNION ALL
SELECT 'a'  , 'b'  , 'd'
See an example on SQLFiddle
The above yields…
| a | c |
But what would this even mean? According to our in-depth explanation of SQL clauses, the projection (SELECT clause) is logically evaluated after the GROUP BY clause. In other words, the columns defined in the SELECT clause are not yet in scope of the GROUP BY clause. Hence, the only reasonable semantics of column indexes would be the index from the table source t. But that’s not the case. Check out this alternative query:
This now yields:
| B | C |
| c | c |
| b | d |
And it’s (probably?) the expected behaviour in MySQL as the documentation states:
Columns selected for output can be referred to in ORDER BY and GROUP BY clauses using column names, column aliases, or column positions. Column positions are integers and begin with 1
The documentation actually treats GROUP BY in a very similar fashion as ORDER BY. For instance, it is possile to specify the ordering direction using GROUP BY only:
MySQL extends the GROUP BY clause so that you can also specify ASC and DESC after columns named in the clause:
SELECT a, COUNT
FROM test_table GROUP BY a DESC;
While we cannot figure out a reasonable edge-case that breaks this feature, we still think that there is something fishy about it. The fact that the SELECT clause is logically evaluated after the table source (FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING), allowing the GROUP BY clause to reference it seems to lead to a weird understanding of SQL.
On the other hand, SQL is a very verbose language with little support for declaring reusable objects, short of common table expressions and the WINDOW clause. It is actually a bit surprising that the SQL standards folks would support this WINDOW clause to declare reusable window frames before introducing much more usable “common column expressions”, e.g:
-- Common column/table expressions:
WITH x AS CASE t1.a
WHEN 1 THEN 'a'
ELSE 'c'
y AS SOME_FUNCTION
SELECT x, NVL
ORDER BY x DESC, y ASC
With common column expressions, reusing column expressions is independent of the SELECT clause itself. In other words, you can reuse column expressions in JOIN clauses, WHERE clauses, GROUP BY clauses, HAVING clauses, etc. without having to actually SELECT them.
So, to be fair with MySQL, while this feature is a non-feature in its current form, it provides a workaround for SQL’s verbosity.

Now, trust us. The above is one of the easier cases. Consider the standardisation of the LIMIT .. OFFSET clause, for instance.

December 23, 2013 December 17, 2013 sql Leave a comment ElixirLINQQuery DSLsql
Example queries can be seen on the project’s GitHub readme page:
query = from w in Weather,
select: w
query = from p in Post,
Looks like a slick (but not typesafe?) querying DSL mix between LINQ and Clojure’s sqlkorma.
For those brave ones among you using the Elixir language, this might be your one (and only) choice to access a SQL database! Good luck!

MyBatis’ Alternative Transaction Management
On the jOOQ user group, we’re often being asked how to perform transaction management with jOOQ. And we have an easy answer ready: You don’t do that with jOOQ. You choose your favourite transaction management API, be it:
JEE JTA
Bitronix TM
And the above list is far from being exhaustive. Transaction management is something very delicate, and it certainly should not be imposed by a library whose main purpose is not transaction management, because any such library / framework will provide you with at most a very leaky abstraction of its transaction model. In other words, if you just slightly want to deviate from “the standard” model (e.g. as imposed by Hibernate), you will suffer greatly, as soon as you want to run 2-3 queries outside of Hibernate – e.g. batch or reporting statements through jOOQ.
MyBatis is a SQL templating engine that provides a couple of features on top of alternative templating engines, such as Velocity, or StringTemplate. One of these features built on top of templating is precisely transaction management, as can be seen in the docs.
From what we can read in the docs, it looks as though MyBatis’ transaction managers can be overriden by Spring, for instance. However, it is not easy to see how this is done. In fact, given that MyBatis also solves Connection pooling (for which there are also very viable alternatives, such as c3p0 and DBCP), and mapping (which could be solved more easily with custom transformers, such as offered by Spring’s JdbcTemplate, or jOOQ’s RecordMapper).
As many frameworks, MyBatis tries to solve problems outside its core scope, which is SQL templating. While this may be a good thing as you only rely on a single dependency, it is also quite a lock-in, in case you have a more complex model. In the case of transaction management, we believe that this was not a good idea by MyBatis.
Thoughts from MyBatis users?

A Bit of SQL History
SQL has been around for a while. Just recently, I’ve read this refreshing article about Codd’s Relational Vision – Has NoSQL Come Full Circle? SQL is one of those awesome technologies that was invented almost two generations ago, and we’re still using it in production and for new projects. It is both legacy and state-of-the-art.
The RDBMS timeline from Wikipedia
In the early 70s, Ingres (which still exists today) was built at the Berkely University of California. Parts of Ingres still go strong in today’s RDBMS market under the name of PostgreSQL, and many other databases. Michael Stonebraker has been involved with these early dinosaurs, and he’s currently promoting NewSQL storage, which isn’t listed in the above chart, unfortunately.


One of my children has nits. I spent $79 at Walgreens in a panic. That did not include wine...
Oh Lord. My condolences. Your going to need that wine.
Just wait 'til you get 'em...
and you will need lots of wine. as well as whine.
my advice to add to your arsenal - a pair of readers - eyeglass magnifiers, the strongest. we got 3.0's I think. it took us several months to finally get rid of the little beasts. the glasses were the trick. we were missing too many of the nits without them.
really, it's more common than you think - your child caught them from another child whose parent didn't treat them quickly enough... and that child caught them from another... and so on.
try to to worry, really!
My kid caught them too - it happens - and I'll let you in to a secret too... they get threadworm now and then too - from some other kid who plays in the sandpit after scratching their ass! Or opening a door handle after scratching... or sharing crayons after scrating...
Nothing you can do about it - it happens!
Your job ise - and it looks like you did that.
Be proud - you didn't do anything wrong and neither did your kid!


Among essential oil users, depending on your culture and your country, there's so much "talk" as to which company is 'the best'. We aren't going to compare all the companies out there. We truly believe that each person should make up their own mind what they think will be best for them and their family. For us, Young Living oils has been the key to our family's good health and wellness, not even mentionning our pregnancy went perfectly well and baby is doing wonderfully well. We chose to go with them after a friend told us about it, and absolutely LOVE their products for so many reasons :
- I trust Young Living 100% when I use it for my family and especially for my baby

Gedhawa, Northern Thai food, Bangkok
Gedhawa is small, eclectically decorated restaurant is perched on a corner of Sukhumvit 35, if you didn’t know it was there you would miss it. We were treated to a feast of Northern Thai food by Thai friends who live in the area (they know all the best places)! The owner has had northern Thai restaurants for years, and it certainly has a loyal fan base – we went a couple of times and all 8 tables in this tiny places were full!
Gedhawa is open for lunch and dinner (5pm -10pm), closed on Sundays. To get here, you can drive and try to find a space, which is just a massive pain since Em quartier (the latest mega-mall in Bangkok) opened just around the corner, or just take a taxi! To walk you can take the BTS Sukhumvit line to Phrom Phong station, and exit to the north side of Sukhumvit Road. Turn left and walk against the traffic to Soi 35.
Makes me miss the food even more!Another place to try.

People everywhere went back to their ~country roots~ in 2017, thanks to a reaction pic of a cowboy hat–wearing Shiba Inu with the caption "what in tarnation," which first appeared on Tumblr.It soon spawned a whole new genre of meme in which people photoshopped cowboy hats onto a whole bunch of stuff and rhymed basically anything they could with "tarnation." Yeehaw
In addition to photoshopping labels onto the models, fans of the meme soon discovered related photos in the photographer's collection and created their own fanfic out of it.
In an interview with the Guardian in August, photographer Antonio Guillem said he "didn't even know what a meme is until recently." A perfect meme for a year so characterized by near constant incredulity, the "Blinking White Guy" rose to meme fame in February.
By the beginning of 2017, it was pretty much everywhere.


1. No matter how old you are, you still need your mother.  She can help you get through any catastrophe because she knows you better than you know yourself.  You may not always want to hear what she has to tell you, but in a lot of cases, her advice will be spot on.  My mother has been so supportive recently, and I can't thank her enough for helping me get through my life altering chaos.  When I wanted to just curl up in a ball and cry my eyes out, she helped me to pick myself up physically and emotionally and keep going.
2. Romantic relationships may come and go, but your friends won't.  As long as you don't neglect them while you're in a relationship, they will be there for you when the bottom drops out and will offer poignant, if not painfully honest, advice and guidance.  Like your mother, they can see things about you that you only wish you could see.  Also, if you are dating someone that they don't like, they will be nice enough to not share their opinion with you until you break up with said person, and will unleash a storm of hatred like nothing you've ever seen if you're "wronged."
3. Don't let a physical setback, time constraint, or misc. drama keep you from reaching a personal goal.  Life happens.  There will always be obstacles to getting something you want.  Your journey to reach a goal might not be an easy one, but it's important to not give up.  It took me two years and two injured ankles before I was ready to run a half-marathon this past year, but it was one of the greatest accomplishments of my life.
4. It's never a good idea to eat an entire can of pumpkin (like, the stuff you use to make a pie) in one sitting.  Trust me on this one.  In past years I've also learned that it's a bad idea to eat an entire can of uncooked sauerkraut, baked beans, or an entire loaf of bread.
5. Vegan desserts can be delicious.  Before this year, I'd never had a vegan dessert that I was particularly fond of, but now I almost prefer vegan dessert options.  With places like Pattycake Bakery, Tremont Scoops, Terra Bakery, No Whey candies, the Flaming Ice Cube, and so many other businesses offering tasty treats just a mouse click or a short drive away, it's pretty easy to find delicious vegan desserts wherever you are.  (If you're not ambitious enough to try and make your own.)
6. Either you love Jimmy Buffet or you hate Jimmy Buffet.  There's no in-between.  If you're a Jimmy Buffet fan, most likely we will not have anything in common.  Period.
7. Cleveland is a really great city.  In 2009, I decided to live like a tourist (or the people I work with who transfer into this city) and explored areas I'd never thought to go to in my 28 years in this town.  I can't wait to explore some more in 2010.
8. Cats are a good judge of character.  If they don't like someone in your life, perhaps you shouldn't, either.
9. There is no such thing as forever, so live for today.  Push the envelope and try things you've never tried before.  Go to places you've always wanted to go to, even if that means going alone.  We only get once chance to enjoy life, so you can either get busy living, or get busy dying.
AnonymousJanuary 3, 2010 at 9:18 PM
I thought I was the only person on Earth who did not get Jimmy Buffet at all. Maybe you have to be on qualudes or something.
