The Basics of Communicating with MySQL
All your interaction with the database is accomplished by passing messages to the MySQL server. The MySQL server must be able to understand the instructions that you send it. You communicate using Structured Query Language (SQL), which is a standard computer language understood, at least in some form, by most database management systems.
To make a request that MySQL can understand, you build a SQL statement and send it to the MySQL server.
Build SQL queries
SQL is almost English; it's made up largely of English words, put together into strings of words that sound similar to English sentences. In general (fortunately), you don't need to understand any arcane technical language to write SQL queries that work.
The first word of each statement is its name, which is an action word (a verb) that tells MySQL what you want to do. The statements discussed here are CREATE, DROP, ALTER, SHOW, INSERT, LOAD, SELECT, UPDATE, and DELETE. This basic vocabulary is sufficient to create — and interact with — databases on websites.
The statement name is followed by words and phrases — some required and some optional — that tell MySQL how to perform the action. For instance, you always need to tell MySQL what to create, and you always need to tell it which table to insert data into or to select data from.
The following is a typical SQL statement. As you can see, it uses English words:
SELECT lastName FROM Member
When a statement uses SELECT, it's known as a query, because you're querying the database for information. This query retrieves all the last names stored in the table named Member. More complicated queries, such as the following, are less English-like:
SELECT lastName,firstName FROM Member WHERE state="CA" AND city="Fresno" ORDER BY lastName
This query retrieves all the last names and first names of members who live in Fresno and then puts them in alphabetical order by last name. Although this query is less English-like, it's still pretty clear.
Here are some general points to keep in mind when constructing a SQL statement:
Capitalization: In this example, SQL language words are in all caps; items of variable information (such as column names) are usually given labels that are all or mostly lowercase letters. This makes it easier for you to read —MySQL doesn't need this format. The case of the SQL words doesn't matter; for example, select is the same as SELECT, and from is the same as FROM, as far as MySQL is concerned.
On the other hand, the case of the table names, column names, and other variable information does matter if your operating system is Unix or Linux. When you're using Unix or Linux, MySQL needs to match the column names exactly, so the case for the column names has to be correct — for example, lastname isn't the same as lastName.
Windows, however, isn't as picky as Unix and Linux; from its point of view, lastname and lastName are the same.
Spacing: SQL words must be separated by one or more spaces. It doesn't matter how many spaces you use; you could just as well use 20 spaces or just 1 space. SQL also doesn't pay any attention to the end of the line. You can start a new line at any point in the SQL statement or write the entire statement on one line.
Quotes: Notice that CA and Fresno are enclosed in double quotes (") in the preceding query. CA and Fresno are a series of characters called text strings, or character strings. You're asking MySQL to compare the text strings in the SQL query with the text strings already stored in the database. When you compare numbers (such as integers) stored in numeric columns, you don't enclose the numbers in quotes.
Send SQL queries
You can send a SQL query to MySQL several ways. Here are two methods of sending queries:
The mysql client: When you install MySQL, a text-based mysql client is automatically installed. This simple client can be used to send queries.
PHP built-in functions: You communicate with a MySQL database from PHP scripts by using PHP built-in functions designed specifically for this purpose. The functions connect to the MySQL server and send the SQL query.

The GPA killers
Views 104 | Time to read: 3 minutes | Uploaded: 3 - 28 - 2017 | By: Grant Gardner
We have all done numerous assignments about the importance of a liberal arts education and how it applies to your life, of which the majority serves to only say what the professor wants to hear. Ironically or not, I have never completed one of these assignments in any of my major courses. It seems that the classes which harp on the value of taking non-major courses are the general education classes themselves.
Before discussing the value of these general education classes, it is important to quantify their cost. Four years of attendance at Westmont will cost about $225,000. A standard business degree requires 124 units to graduate, with 60 units coming outside the major, constituting just under half of the mandated units. That results in a cost of around $112,500 for general education, or $2000 a unit.
This exorbitant price tag also does not include the time needed for studying and projects in classes that most likely will not impact a future career and the impact bad grades have on an overall GPA. Often, scholarships are tied to GPA and a student could become priced out of Westmont due to general education classes. It also forces students to make a tough decision: is it better to take an easier class just for the grade or one that is interesting and valuable, but tougher grade-wise?
This is a decision students should not have to make. What often gets lost in this debate is that the students are the paying customers of the school, and as such, should have control over the product they pay for. Westmont is a liberal arts institution, and each student recognized that before deciding to attend. However, most did not understand the extent of the non-major requirements or the difficulty associated with those classes. Because of this, these well intended general education courses have become a burden for students, enhancing the pressure related to academic performance.
This is not to disparage liberal arts or claim every general education course is worthless. These classes expand student perspectives and expose them to new material which could pique unknown interests. There are numerous stories of students who changed majors because of their experience in one of these courses. The Westmont faculty is also passionate about what they teach and challenge students thoughtfully in diverse areas.
The issue lies in the magnitude of the general education requirement. There are many major specific classes that one is unable to take because half of their degree is mandated outside of their major. Westmont is too expensive to miss out on these impactful courses and replacing them with unrelated material.
Reducing the 60 unit requirement to 40 would allow students more flexibility in dictating their schedules and grant them the opportunity to take the classes they want. While it is important for Westmont to stay true to its identity as an elite liberal arts institution, there is also a responsibility to provide the best education to its students by giving them the freedom to dictate the path to their degree.

Studies show that kids who grow up in poverty tend to have a much harder time succeeding in school. The effects of poverty are widespread and long-term – and our efforts to shrink the "achievement gap" have been stymied in part by the persistent presence of poverty.
But there's always hope.
A new study from UNC's Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute has found that a single year of "high-quality early education and care" can produce significant benefits for infants and toddlers living in poverty.
The study focused on a program called Educare, which works with pre-K students as young as six weeks old. It found that children who went through the program showed significant improvement in language skills – and they also had fewer behavioral issues and more positive interactions with their parents as well.
Read more about the study here.
FPG senior research scientists Noreen Yazejian and Donna Bryant were the principal investigators on the study. They say kids in the Educare program showed greater improvement than students in other pre-K programs.
Noreen Yazejian spoke with WCHL's Aaron Keck.
Yazejian and Bryant's study did not look at long-term effects, so it's not clear whether Educare students continue to achieve at higher levels later in life. But a different FPG study, the "Abecedarian Project," has tracked students for several decades – and it's found that a strong early-childhood education can make a lasting difference even into adulthood.
FPG's study looked at Educare schools in Chicago, Milwaukee, Omaha and Tulsa. Yazejian says there are numerous Educare programs around the country, but not (yet) in North Carolina.

Q&A // High-Waisted Pants
Q: Hi Sharleen! I've been desperately looking for a versatile pair of high waisted pants - I want the kind that are kind of loose but then have a tight band near the ankle. I have the tiniest natural waist but have a large backside that needs just the right amount of tight and loose. I feel like this shape really accentuates my figure but I can't find the right pair. —Ladan
A: I have a similar issue when it comes to pants. Usually, if pants fit my waist, they're too small on my arse, and if they fit my arse, I'm constantly having to pull up the waist to avoid plumber-butt. Things like stretchy cigarette pants often scare the bejeezus out of me, too, because while they fit everywhere, the extreme stretch seems to emphasize the wrong parts. All that said, I think I feel qualified to refer you to some decent-fitting pants. :)
I am obsessed with the fit of any Aritzia's bottoms made with their Japanese Satin Back Crepe. It's thick/heavy enough that it falls flatteringly yet light enough that it breathes. (I don't work for them, I swear.) I own two pairs of their shorts and two pairs of Cohen pants (listed below), all in this material.
Babaton "Cohen" Pant, Artizia ($85-145). I own this exact pant in two different colors and bought them at regular price, both of which say something. The cut is roomy throughout the bum and leg area and tapers elegantly. The waist is high but not too high (aka: 80s) and the silhouette is perfect for both tucking in fitted tops and letting something looser hang on top. To see mine on me, click here.
Babaton "Harvey" Pant, Artizia ($145). A sportier version of the Cohen pant, but don't worry, the Japanese crepe dresses up the silhouette. You mentioned you wanted a tight band around the ankle so this might be more your speed. I've tried these on and liked them but ultimately went with the Cohen which I felt was more versatile. (The Dexter might also pique your interest.)
If you're willing to venture into something fitted throughout, I've got a couple of favorites for our curvier bottom halves...
Sanctuary "Grease" Plaid Leggings ($89). Don't be frightened by the print. These fit like a dream (again, high-waisted without going too far) and are super flattering. I definitely have a rear and these make it look better, not bigger in any way. Plus, I'm constantly amazed at how versatile they are; I can wear them with a black sweater and boots by day, or with a flowy tank and heels by night. I'm planning on getting them in solid black as well. There are more sizes here, and a subtler color scheme is also available.
Paige Denim Verdugo Skinny Jeans in "Nottingham" ($169). I would never recommend anyone buy jeans without trying them on (I seriously buy one pair of jeans for probably every hundred that I try on), but I do highly recommend giving these Paige jeans a go next time you're in-store. They've got a reasonably high waist at an 8 1/8 inch rise. They're super soft, stretchy without looking too jegging-like, and the color and wash are very flattering. They also never stretch out. I almost never wear jeans but when I do, these are it for me.
Hope this helps, Ladan!

APRIL 23 will be the TWELFTH anniversary of this blog, THE LUCKY LAD. Hard to believe, at least for me. Mostly because it is unusual for me to stick with something that long!
I will admit there were periods when I posted very little here for weeks on end. Various reasons for that, other things that needed my attention or simply not having anything to say. Since I got back more into writing the last few years, I've been pretty regular with my posts.
I wonder if I can reach 50,000 page views by that date — I am pretty close but at my current rate probably won't quite make it.
Anyway, I intend to keep posting stuff here into the indefinite future. As long as I and/or Blogger is still around.

If you are the sort of individual that prefers to look terrific when you are strolling down the street, then you have most likely checked out various kinds of outfits. It is becoming harder as well as harder to look fantastic and stand apart recently, as many people have actually begun to wear outrageous attires as streetwear. One of the hottest new patterns is to wear metallic dancewear on the street. Many ladies have been wearing these excellent clothing in the dancing clubs, as well as they have liked them so much that they have actually also started to appear on the street. If you consider yourself to be a pacesetter, then using metallic dancewear as streetwear is absolutely something that you should think about. Let's have a look at a few of the factors that this is such a wonderful selection.
The first and most important reason that metallic dancewear is a terrific option for streetwear is that the clothing simply look great. Everybody will notice you as you walk down the street, and also it will not simply be due to the fact that you look various. In all likelihood, they will be whispering per various other regarding how superb you look. This is a typical action when somebody is seen walking down the street putting on some great metal mens fashion clothing.
Another reason that this is such a great option of everyday streetwear is that it is so awesome. This is specifically vital if you reside in an area in which the temperature could get quite hot. Typical outfits can get very uncomfortable if you obtain so warm that you start sweating. Ultimately, you will certainly feel sticky and simply want to go home. This rarely happens when you are putting on metallic dancewear. This kind of garments is specifically made to be able to manage extended periods of arduous physical activity. It is light-weight, and any kind of sweat that you produce will rapidly evaporate.
Finally, metallic dancewear is a fantastic choice of garments because there is such a wide array of options as well as designs readily available to you. When you enter wearing dancewear as streetwear, you will feel as if an entire brand-new section of your wardrobe has actually simply been opened approximately you. There are a few excellent firms that have an excellent line of dancewear, but among the best are metal rocks. Whether you like bright, enjoyable shades, or dark solemn shades, they make sure to have something you are seeking.
They are likewise wonderful to wear to the club if you prefer to go dance during the night or on the weekends.

Comcast: You're Too Far Away For Cable But Your Neighbor Isn't
Attention: A satisfied Comcast customer has written to this website. Sadly, reader Kevin is now being denied the delicious shivery pleasure of Comcast's services — because his new house is 600′ too far away.
Here's the letter he wrote to Comcast's executive customer service team after being denied cable:
Comcast Cares team,
I've been mulling the answer I was given to my no-cable dilemma. The woman who called me to tell me the address is not serviceable was nice and polite, but did give some confoundingly interesting facts.
The cable is "over a mile away" across "6 utility poles"… which I know are not spaced 900 feet apart. The cable is actually 600-700 feet away according to google maps street view and the actual distance to the neighbor that has cable. Unless I misheard something, there has to be another reason Comcast will service my neighbor but not me.
The house was built in 1940s so there have been plenty of chances to run cable to it. The house 3 poles down and ~600-700 feet away gets cable. This neighbor with cable is [redacted]. If you look at google maps street view you can see where the cable stops and exactly how many poles away my house is at [redacted] (it's the white/blue one with all the cars in front).
I've been made to believe that Comcast will hook someone up if they are under 250 feet away – In fact there are multiple success stories on the Internet where Comcast and other cable companies have hooked up users even though they were much, much farther away from the cable than 250 feet. The other 350-450 feet in the grand scheme of things is not a ridiculously long distance, especially when considering the poles are already there and the house is right up on the street next to one of these poles. It's not like I'm asking Comcast to dig a ditch and bury a wire for a house located a mile away in the middle of a forest. I absolutely do not want 1.5mbps "broadband" DSL which is why I am trying to get Comcast to give me a good reason why I can't have cable or to hook me up (I'm more than willing to sign a long term contract for my service.) It's a shame because I really do enjoy my cable service here in Florida and am not looking forward to being without it. Please Comcast, let me know if you change your mind.
Poor Kevin. He does so love you, Comcast. Can't you make his dream a reality? Or at least let him down easy…

Not living in Turkey, but graduate school. Today was the official first day of classes for me, and I'm already worried. It is amazing what can be forgotten in 3 months, let alone a few years!
It's been a few years since I took the undergraduate equivalents of what I'm taking this semester in graduate school, and that has become all too apparent in the "silly quiz" (as the professor called it) that we took in one of my classes. She just wanted to see where we were in our level or recollection. I am the only 1st year masters student in this course (well, there's only 5 people to begin with) and I have forgotten the most, it seems! I try to tell myself that it's because I haven't needed the information required in these particular courses for 2 years. Now I find myself reviewing old lectures on the topics I have forgotten. I'm anxious to go to the lab and show how much I've forgotten :(.
This holds true specifically for one class. The other two seem to be fresher in my mind, having been talked about the last year of my undergraduate experience.
Also, I have received a TA-ship (Teaching assistantship) to pay for graduate school. My first class I am TA-ing holds very little responsibility. Answer emails from students and help proctor exams. Fortunately, this class is "new" to the university, but I have taken its equivalent at my undergraduate university and have been beaten about the head and neck with the information supplied in the course. I hope I do well aiding the students…
I hope this doesn't drive me crazy. Deep breaths. Its worth it, giving me an advantage when we go to Turkey.

Ok lets face it, pastry is never really that healthy! The butter that gives it wonderful flavour is also chock full of fat! The only solution is to minimise the amount of pastry while insuring that flavour is not compromised. I make the enough pastry for a full apple pie, divide it in two and freeze one half. The best thing about this pie is that its full of chunky apple flavour and warming apple spices. Ive used cloves rather than cinnamon as it reminds me of my mums apple pies when I was a child. I used a deep pie dish and a generous amount of apples
Traditional Apple Pie
Serves 12, Propoints 5
For the pastry:
- 225g Butter
- 50g Caster Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 350g Plain Flour
For the filling:
- 1kg Apples
- 150g Sugar
- Approx 1tbsp Cornflour
- Lemon juice
- 4 whole cloves
- Cream butter and sugar in a food processor. Add eggs and continue to beat.
- Add the flour gradually, mixing slowly between additions.
- Turn out onto greasproof paper and flatten. Its at this point I halve the dough. Refridgerate one half and freeze the second.
- Peel and slice the apples. Toss them in lemon juice to prevent them going brown.
- Place the apples into the pie dish. I like this to be rustic so not really too neat. Place cloves in random places! Sprinkle with cornflour to absorb excess juices.
- Roll out chilled pastry to slightly wider that the dish. Cover pie dish neatly.
- Trim excess pastry from the sides. With the excess, I made little leaf shapes to place on top.
- Brush pastry with some eggwash. Prick the top with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Place in an oven, preheated to 180 degrees. Bake for 40-60 mins, until golden brown and apples cooked.

Thameslink trains on view at new Museum of London? (Londonist)
1 comment
Visitors to the Smithfield attraction — due to open in 2022 — will be able to see passengers en route. But it works both ways, and train passengers would be able to see museum artefacts from their windows. The museum has confirmed that they're discussing the concept with Network Rail.
The Thameslink line runs 24 hours a day, so it's unclear how major reconstruction of the tunnel could be achieved without causing further disruption.

South Beach is one of the world's pre-eminent locations for sexy bikini photo shoots. Which is just one reason why it's a really good idea to care about fighting pollution.
In other words, please keep our beaches clean and our photographs just a little bit dirty.
The national Surfrider Foundation commissioned a mock swimsuit calendar to really drive home the point.

Pettis County High Point Trip Report
Date: October 11, 2002
Author: Bob Martin
Drive to Windsor Junction, which is on US65 at its junction with MO 52 at the Pettis-Benton county line. From Windsor junction, drive a mile north and 0.2 mile east. Here on the south side of the road is the parking area for the Paint Brush Prairie Conversation Area, maintained by the Missouri Conservation Department. The northern hp area is within this conservation area. One of the many activities permitted is hiking. Walk south-southeast through the lush grasses to the obvious hp area. The next 2 areas are accessed from the road a half mile east of Windsor Junction. One area extends north from the road and the other is 0.3 mile north of it. With permission, walk through the southern area to the northern one, which is a distinct hill in a grassy field beyond a cultivated area. From the road, the north area leveled higher. Back sighting was inconclusive because of higher land south of the road in Benton county. For the southern area, drive a mile west and 2 miles south on road NW 101 from Windsor Junction. The large area extends northwest from this intersection. The higher land appears to be 0.2 mile west of the intersection near a house north of the road and on farther west at a hp west of spot elevation 1031 on the topo.

WATCH: Joanna Gaines Reveals She Was Bullied in School, and How It Shaped Her as a Parent
"I literally walked in the lunchroom and walked out and went into the bathroom."
Joanna Gaines has it all, a hit television show, a booming Magnolia empire, and an adorable, growing family, but that wasn't always the case.
In a candid new interview with Darling Magazine, the beloved design queen discussed the pains of growing up a mixed-race child, the isolation that shook her self-confidence, and how those experiences have shaped her as a parent.
"I don't think confidence has ever really been one of those things that came naturally for me," Gaines, 39, revealed. "If people thought I was confident, it was really just the way I masked my insecurity, because I didn't want people to really get to know the real me."
"If you haven't heard my story, my mom is full Korean and my dad is Caucasian," the Fixer Upper star continued. "Kids in kindergarten would make fun of me for being Asian and when you're that age you don't know really how to process that; the way you take that is, 'Who I am isn't good enough.'"
Gaines said that anxiety continued to build over the years. And it only got worse when her family moved from Kansas to Texas during her sophomore of high school and she became the "new kid."
"I literally walked in the lunchroom and walked out and went into the bathroom," she recalled. "My fear and my insecurities just took over and I felt like I'd way rather sit in the stall than get rejected."
She continued: "I discovered that my purpose was to help people who are insecure because I didn't like the way it made me feel, in that stall; that's not who I am."
The mother of four (with one on the way!) said that those painful experiences have shaped the way she parents her brood. "I always tell my kids to look for that kid on the playground who's not playing with anybody, to go reach out, ask them their name, to look for the kid in the lunchroom who isn't sitting by anybody, be their friend," Gaines said. "I think when you come from a place like that, even though it was only six months for me, there's always that place of humility you never want to forget, and that experience grounded me in that I want to look for the lonely, the sad, the people who aren't confident, because that's not where they're supposed to stay."

It's so sad, one of my favorite teleserye on TFC ended today. It's the very popular May Bukas Pa. The finale was very grand because almost all the big stars of ABS-CBN were present gracing the show. Me and our daughter watches the show everyday that she even love the theme song.
I did not expect the final episode. I thought Santino, the miracle boy, will join Bro in heaven but instead he's sent back to life. He's a miracle indeed. Every episode of this soap opera gives inspiration and hope to those who believe in God. The show give testament to the saying, if there is life, there's hope. If we have faith in the Lord, everything is possible.
I wish ABS will continue to create show like this to inspire a lot of people and that amidst the hardships that we are facing today we still can find refuge in the name of God. Kudos to the creator of this show and to all the artists who graced the show.

Tracking greens more in depth
An option to track missed greens more accurately. Bunker scrambling. Missing long, left, right, or short. It would also be amazing if there was a way to record what clubs you used so when you look at career stats you can see that your gap wedge consistently puts it closer than your 60.
Hey Mike, this is on our radar right now as part of a much larger suite of stats tracking. A lot of people have requested this functionality.
Im guessing you posted one of our iOS reviews today…12a34s56d78f: Rest assured that Advanced stats tracking is coming soon.
Thanks for using Foursum. If you have any other feedback, please dont hesitate to reach out and let me know.

The essence of this post is not to give you reasons to be suspicious of your boyfriend, it is just a guide to know if the relationship is worthy been called your own or not. So below are some of the of the steps to know you are not the only one he dates.
1) He has never introduce you to people around him as his girlfriend: Seriously, when a man is genuinely in love with you, it is such an easy thing to know. Right from the way he address you, the manners and tone he introduces you to his people and everything will hint you. If you have been dating a guy for more than a year and still keep introducing you to people as his friend, course mate or colleague, then it called for suspicious.
He might have introduced the real girl to them, and don't want to complicate issue by telling them you are the second option. So be watchful enough to attach meaningful meaning to how your guy address and introduce you.
2) He avoid you physically: This is one of the clear sign that someone is not in an healthy relationship. It is a fundamental sign that something is wrong in your relationship if he suddenly becomes uncomfortable being physically close to you.
He just don't like people reading any meaning to your togetherness, he don't like been in public with you and he is good in giving you thousands of excuses why you will not see each other for weeks.
He just don't like people reading any meaning to your togetherness, he don't like been in public with you and he is good in giving you thousands of excuses why you will not see each other for weeks.
if you notice this with your partner, it because he knows that the trust has been betrayed and cannot just stand eye to eyes with you for a long again.
3) He always answer your questions with another questions: Have you ever met such kind of a guy before? Whenever you are trying to play the role of a mom or a wife to him, he always cut you short by throwing back another sets of unpleasant questions to answer you.
If you just noticed that your guy suddenly becomes extremely too busy to have a discussion with you for long periods of time and he has no any genuine explanation to cover up. This means he is sharing his pains and joy with someone else aside from you.
4) He has never taken you to his place: I was surprised when a lady told me she had been dating her guy for good four years and had never been taken home nor been introduced to any of his friends. That the only first time she met with one of his friends was by accident, and he introduced her to his friend as a colleague. Though they work in the same company.
I think relationship of four years should have been solidified with a enough commitment that the lady should know his house and his where about. Sometimes, meeting the family could be difficult, and multiple factors can go into why you have or have not met them.
However, meeting the friends should happen as soon as possible. Even if he stays in Sambisa forest, lives with his parents or lives with his friends, at this point he should want to show you.
5) He phone is too personal to him: I also don't encourage ladies to always go after their guys phones because to some extent it is confidential. However, if you begin to notice that he suddenly stops leaving his phone around you and he don't even feel comfortable responding to his calls or messages when you are around. You need to be watchful...
However, if your guy has someone else, there's a good chance that he won't ever allow you to touch his phone any longer. Try to pay more attention to the way he handles his phones recently, you will notice he changes password more than ten times in a week.

Published at Sunday, April 21st, 2019 - 11:30:40 AM. Trekking Poles. By Ophelie Carpentier.
All things being equal, a trekking pole with a one-piece shaft will be both less expensive and lighter and stronger than a trekking pole with a multipiece shaft. For example, the single-piece Black Diamond Vapor Carbon 1 weighs 35 percent less and costs $20 less than the comparably strong Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork.
I have broken several trekking poles, and I've witnessed other hikers break theirs. The common denominator was not the shaft material but user error. Specifically, the poles were being used on steep, loose, off-angle, and/or slick terrain, and the pole either became overly levered (like between two blocks of talus) or broke the hiker's fall after they slipped.

ED MONK: Grown-up customer service still tops current account bells and whistles - and why Sky really is the limit
Anyone looking for interest on their savings to beat inflation knows that actual savings accounts are not the place to look.
Visit your bank in search of a half-decent rate and you'll likely be told to forget savings accounts and instead take out one of the new breed of all-singing, all-dancing current accounts. The Santander 123, Nationwide's FlexDirect and the Club Lloyds Account are notable examples.
Among their various bells and whistles, these accounts offer in-credit interest rates above dedicated savings accounts - particularly straightforward easy-access savings accounts.
Different animal: First Direct has made its reputation on customer service.
Used properly, the combination of in-credit interest, rewards and other perks can make such accounts excellent value, even though you may have to pay a monthly fee.
I do not wish to undermine these new accounts - they represent one of the few battlegrounds on which banks are willing to actually compete with each other to offer customers a good deal.
But a recent experience reminded me that the theoretical gains these accounts offer do not always outweigh the less flashy selling points of other accounts, such as customer service.
Like many other personal finance journalists, I bank with First Direct. Perhaps it's because we've heard so many stories of customers struggling with their bank over the years that we place a higher value on service - and First Direct is the heavyweight champion of service.
In completely shunning automated telephone lines, and by staffing its call centres with people who can make decisions beyond a set script, First Direct is a genuinely different prospect from the other banks.
Although this doesn't just mean less frustration when you need to contact them. I believe it has saved me cold, hard cash too.
I recently managed to incur £25 of overdraft charges on my First Direct account thanks to my habit of spending up to my free overdraft limit, but then staying just shy of it by transferring savings in as needed to keep me in the black (or at least the free bit of the red).
Finger-waggers may lecture me on why this is an accident waiting to happen, but it generally works for me. I save an ambitious amount at the start of the month and claw back only what's necessary at the end.
But things went awry a few months back when, having checked my balances a few days before pay day, I believed I would be OK without transferring any savings. What I did not see were a list of forgotten debit card payments lurking, about to be paid out but not yet reflected in my balance.
The upshot was that I exceeded my limit by £15 for a day, before being paid and taken back into the black. The automatic charges kicked in and a £25 fee was levied.
I called the bank to question the charge on the grounds that I had taken all reasonable steps to ensure I would not break the limit, and had only done so because I could not see the pending payments.
The First Direct person explained that the information on my available balance - reflecting payments due to be taken - was in fact visible online, albeit not in a very accessible place. Nevertheless, they accepted that an honest mistake had been made and were able to cut the charges by half - as much as they could do there and then.
Happier, but not completely happy, I called again to see if the remaining charges could be removed. Following a similarly grown-up conversation, they were and I was signed up to a text message service that will remind me when my limit is looming.
Two phone calls had saved me £25.
Whether or not one of the other major banks would have been able to accommodate me as easily is hard to say - but I do doubt it. How long would it have taken me to earn that £25 through extra interest or rewards, I wonder?
Sky's the limit
I have just concluded my annual round of brinkmanship with the crack negotiators at Sky.
Laughing last: Sky's offer looked good at first - but meant big price rises later.
Why, given all the evidence of failing diplomacy throughout the world's trouble spots, has the UN not sent in the Sky call centre team to get the desired results? They are masters!
I had been quite pleased with myself last year when I signed on for broadband and sports TV for £45 a month. But victory was fleeting.
Six months in and it turned out many of the things that I had assumed we were paying for were actually free extras granted to us for a limited period. As each offer expired, our monthly bill crept up.
Line rental had been half price but wasn't any more. Particularly painful was finding the HD versions of our sport channels had, in fact, been an act of generosity by Sky all along, and that we must now pay to continue receiving.
They were switched off without warning, Vladimir Putin-style.
Already hooked, what else could I do but hand over more money - 'Watch Bayern Munich versus Real Madrid in normal definition? Are you mad? Where do I sign?'
A year in and our monthly bill had reached a frankly funny £83 a month. £45 to £83 in one year, for exactly the same service.
Attempting to wrestle this down, I called with the usual empty threat to leave. They could offer to take something off my bill but I would, naturally, be required to sign up for another 18 months.
Various theoretical packages and prices were thrown at me. I spent half an hour in a 'live chat' on the internet with someone/thing called Dinseh that I'm not convinced wasn't a robot.
Any offer made had to be agreed there and then, making comparison with rivals next to impossible. Every new call meant the previous more generous offer evaporated. They wouldn't even tell me how much it would cost if I wanted to leave before 18 months - simply impossible to work out, they said.
Checkmate, and I signed for £70 a month. I'll learn my lesson one day - maybe next year.

It's officially picnic and bbq season, and you don't want to be the person who brought the mayonnaise based macaroni salad that sits glistening in the sun, a food-borne illness waiting to happen. You want to be the person who brings the salad that the hostess doesn't have to find room in her already packed refrigerator for. You want to bring the macaroni salad that sits comfortably on the table all afternoon with it's sturdy arugula leaves and summertime flavors. Like this one I adapted from Heidi Swanson's recipe.
Sauteed garlic and scallions blended with some pasta cooking water, lemon zest/juice, salt and pepper. Then toss with arugula, additional sliced scallions, parmesan. I added tomatoes instead of the apples that Heidi called for.
It's summer in a bowl..... without the salmonella.

My husband and I know our daughter is in an abusive relationship but she is covering it up
Read Deidre's personal replies to today's problems
DEAR DEIDRE: OUR best friends live close to our daughter and have told us she and her partner have a very volatile relationship.
The trouble is they swore us to secrecy – so how do we sort this out without breaking our friends' trust?
My wife and I moved to the coast three years ago.
Our daughter and her partner live in our old family home. On a recent visit she seemed her usual self, though she was drinking almost non-stop from lunchtime.
Our old neighbours, who are close friends, took us out for dinner that night and told us about the problems.
I am worried sick about the drinking, the abusive relationship and our daughter covering it up.
She is 29, while my wife and I are in our fifties.
DEIDRE SAYS: Safety can rightly overrule secrecy.
Popular Dear Deidre problems
Tell your daughter you are worried for her well-being and the obvious stress she is under.
Suggest she stay with you for a break – without her partner there.
Don't sound critical about her drinking but cosset her, say you love her and are there with your unconditional support.

The Scottish Association of Young Farmers' Clubs (SAYFC) North Region has opened a new office at Thainstone Agricultural Centre, Inverurie. This is through a new partnership with ANM Group, continued supporters of the Association.
The office is the new base for the Grampian Events Manager, Joanna Foubister. Joanna will now be based in the new Farm Profit Programme Office, situated downstairs in the concourse.
Previously with the role being based in various locations, more recently based from home, this move adds value to the role, as well as giving the members in the North base closer to home. Members will be able to buy certificates and stockjudging cards, advertise local events, hand in entry forms as well as speak to Joanna regarding events or ask questions all at the office. It is hoped that information will be more accessible for the grass root member.
SAYFC's National chairman, Stuart Jamison, explained the benefits of the new base: 'Having Joanna situated in ANM will be a huge boost to the Grampian area and the north region- conveniently located for members popping in to make queries, her office is also right in the heart of the farming community."
Lynne Macarthur, North Region chair added: "We are delighted that Joanna will now be based in office from ANM, please feel free to pop in and say hello or even let her know your next club or district meeting date or share your news with her."
Joanna will be based in the office on Monday to Fridays with core hours of 10am to 3pm. She can be contacted via email firstname.lastname@example.com, phone 07771 399731.

How to choose Ranch Land in Texas
Acreage for sale in Texas - Not All the Same
How to choose Ranch Land in Texas
Today the land of Texas is becoming one of the faster growing areas when it comes to real estate, and it is known for the beautiful lakes and rivers, rolling hills, diverse wildlife, and southern way of living. There is a lot of acreage for sale in Texas, and among that you'll find hunting land for sale, farm land for sale, luxury real estate for sale, and even ranch land for sale. If you are looking for quality ranch land in the state of Texas, there are quite a few things that you are going to need to keep in mind. So, if you've been wondering how to choose ranch land in Texas, here are a few tips that will help you choose the best land for your ranching needs.
Tip #1 – Make Sure it Has a Water Source – When you are looking for ranch acreage for sale in Texas, one of your main concerns is going to be water. You need water for livestock, for any crops you plan on growing, and you may even need it for your home. If you're looking for hill country ranches, then you need to ensure that the property that you are considering has a good water source. This is actually one of the most important concerns you should have when you are looking at these ranch country properties. Without water you'll find it hard to run your ranch, so make sure that you have the rights to water on the property before you make the purchase.
Tip #2 – You'll Need Plenty of Grass – You'll also need to make sure that the property that you are considering will provide you with plenty of grass as well, especially if you plan on having livestock on the property. While you can provide them with hay and other feeds, it can save you a huge amount of money if you have great grass for your livestock to eat, so make sure that the ranch property you are considering has some nice grass pastures available for the livestock you plan on having on the ranch. The more livestock you have, the more grass you'll need to have around, so keep this in mind.
Tip #3 – Shade is Important – Having adequate shade is also important when you're considering ranch acreage for sale in Texas. Your animals will not do well if they always end up out in the sun, so it's great to make sure you have some nice shade on the property so they have the opportunity to get out of the sun, especially in the hot summer season.
Tip #4 – Be Sure There are Clear Boundaries – Clear boundaries are also important when you are considering ranch land in Texas for purchase. You need to be sure that you know where the boundaries of the property are and that they are clearly marked as well. Often fencing is a great way for these boundaries to be marked clearly.
Tip #5 – Avoid Buying in Flood Zones – When looking for ranch land for sale, it's important that you avoid buying in flood zones. Take the time to do some research to find out if the ranch acreage you are considered is in a flood zone. The last thing you want to worry about is dealing with flooded land, which can result in the loss of feed, buildings, and even your livestock. So, this is a very important consideration to keep in mind when you are considering country land for sale to use as a ranch.
Tip #6 – Look for Easy Access – It's also important for you to look for easy access when you're looking for farms and ranches in Texas. You need to make sure that you have great access on and off the ranch so you can easily get in and out. This means you should have good access roads that lead off your ranch into town. A property without easy access is going to cause you difficulties, so you need to be sure that easy access is available.
Tip #7 – Beware of Weeds – Yes, you really need to beware of weeds when you're looking for ranch land for sale. There are actually many different types of weeds in Texas that can be dangerous to your livestock, so you want to purchase property that does not have these weeds to worry about. Before you make the final purchase, find out what kind of weeds are on the property. If there are many weeds that may harm your animals, you may want to look somewhere else for the property that you need.
Tip #8 – Consider the Types of Wildlife Already on the Property – Last of all, when you are looking for quality ranch acreage for sale, it is extremely important that you consider the types of wildlife already on the property you are considering. There are some types of wildlife that you may not want on your ranch property, since they can be dangerous to the livestock that you plan on owning. You don't want any sudden surprises when you purchase your ranch property, so make sure that you learn about the wildlife that is on the property before making the final purchase.
When you're looking for ranch acreage for sale Texas, each of these tips is going to be important if you want to know how to choose ranch land. When you are making the investment in a ranch, you want to be sure that the land that you choose is going to offer you what you need to be successful. So, keep these tips in mind when you're making your purchase and you'll find the best possible ranch properties out there that offer you what you need to be successful and happy.

According to the classic 1980s TV commercial, R-O-L-A-I-D-S spells relief. But farmers in the West and Southwest hope that developing El Niño conditions will spell another R-word they desperately want: R-A-I-N.
Tony Lupo, chair of atmospheric sciences at the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, says recent climate patterns have shown signs of transitioning into an El Niño state, which would allow the Jetstream to flow over the middle U.S., bringing much-needed rainfall across large portions of the Western U.S.
"The long-lasting ridging over the eastern Pacific showed signs of weakening earlier [in June]," he says. "When this pattern diminishes, as I predict it will sometime by September, a more normal jet stream pattern will return and direct much-needed rainfall back to parched California, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas."
Lupo says that California and Nevada are in their third year of what the U.S. Drought Monitor calls an "extreme drought," the second highest of six rankings, and about 10% of those areas are experiencing an "exceptional drought," the highest possible level. As of mid-May, approximately 38% of the contiguous U.S. saw some level of drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
Worldwide, El Niño is not always a welcome event, says Chris Anderson, the assistant director of Iowa State University's Climate Science Program.
"The specific South American impacts of El Niño are a wet Argentina and warm Brazil," he says. "Heat can be a problem for soybean, much more for corn, in South America during El Niño. The big thing this year is that they're coming off a dry period, and the soil may be too dry to be supportive should a hot period emerge this winter under the influence of El Niño."
China is also sometimes negatively impacted, but not always he says.
"That's really about it," he says. "Europe is not strongly impacted."
Midwest farmers can generally expect positive yields during El Niño conditions, he adds. The best year under a summer El Niño was 1994, when yields tipped the scales at 120% of the 5-year average, he says.

2-4 July 2016
Hilsener fra københavn!
After, literally, running through Stockholm, I am journeying on my train to Copenhagen. As long admirer of Hans Christian Andersen's tales, naturally the first wonders that come to mind when thinking of Copenhagen are, "Wonderful, Wonderful, Copenhagen!" and "There once was an ugly duckling…Whose feathers were stubby and brown!"[1] Mention the city Copenhagen to an architecture student, and the words that follow are typically Bjarke Ingels, BIG, and bicycles. While there is truth to all these descriptive monikers, Copenhagen is an infrastructural gem!
The Lay of the Land
Geographically, Denmark comprises the Jutland Peninsula and an archipelago of some 443 islands located between Germany, Sweden, and the North and Baltic Seas in Europe. At roughly 43,000 square kilometers, Denmark is roughly the same size as New Mexico. One is never far from the sea in Denmark; which just makes me happy, as I love the sea! Though topographically challenged, Denmark does not lack variation—the country is full of sandy coasts, rolling plains, arable land, and some forests. With temperate seasonal climatic changes, the aqua and terra of Denmark is home to a broad range of flora and fauna—including deer, hedgehogs, blue whales, cod, and herring. But, this location also makes for a cool and damp climate with (as the photos will show) changeable weather by the minute. Therefore, it is no surprise that Copenhagen is a relatively flat city good for walking and cruising by bicycle.
Arrival and Hostel
Whenever my time is short in a city, I try to stay as central as is affordable to allow for easy access to transit hubs. As my time is super short in Denmark, I chose to stay in a hostel near Central Station called the Copenhagen Backpackers Hostel. While it is cash only and my room of eight was a little tight, it is clean, the atmosphere jovial, and the multilingual staff friendly and helpful. What more could one traveler ask for than this!
River Tour
Left with only a full day to tour Copenhagen, the best way to get bang for my buck, was to purchase a one-day Copenhagen Card, which provided access to all public transit throughout The Capital Region, entry to seventy-three museums, and discounts to a number of attractions, activities, and restaurants. It was also great for the purposes of this trip, as it included passage on the Canal Tours Copenhagen from Ved Stranden. My guide had just that morning cruised the canal with Copenhagen's city planners and briefly mentioned that their priority concern is that the city is flooding. He said that sea level rise is of highest concern, as within as little as thirty years, boats will not be able to pass under the bridges of the canal. Some of the solutions have been to turn some of the artificial islands that were created as military lookout points into wetland reserves.
The canal tour illustrated the waterfront history of Copenhagen. From what I observed, it seems that Copenhagen has always been a city on the edge. However, the popularity of the edge has varied over the centuries, and areas were developed to serve specific functions, such as government, trade and commerce, military standpoints, industry, and housing. This is significant as a varying of the edge represents changes of socio-political importance throughout a city's history. While this is not unique to Copenhagen, what struck me as surprising was the long held trend to adapt (what we would call rezoning) areas to suit the needs of the present populous. For instance, Vesterbro, the former red light district and working-class area is now infamous as the city's hipster haven. Similarly, in the district of Christianshavn, is the old industrial island Refshaleøen, which was home to some of the world's largest shipyards. Now, however, Refshaleøen is home to creative centers, music festivals, and restaurants. If you would like to learn more about Refshaleøen, check out the documentary Mænd & Metal (Men & Metal).
The tour also showed where the Danish Architecture Center (DAC) was located and provided a look into the new waterfront development, which DAC is collaborating on. (Naturally, DAC became the next stop on my quick visit!)
The current summer exhibition at DAC, Let's Play, asks the question: How can we use urban space as a place for sport and movement? As a result of this question, the exhibit and building grounds have been transformed into what I like to call, "the Olivia Newton John physical map," as there are all these pockets of space that ask one to get physical with it. If we consider our daily activities, there is sound reason in making our environments more physically engaging for the benefit of all. For instance, one of the reasons Copenhagen is so pedestrian and bike friendly is that in the 1960s, the city introduced pedestrian zones in the city center. What happened in the decades that followed were other car-free zones, and 200 miles of bike lanes. Why you may ask—because these historic streets were designed for pedestrians and maybe a horse cart, not for automobile congestion. Which is the same conclusion the people and city planners came to in the post-WWII era.
I've noticed too that the Danes are very friendly people. But, this isn't a surprise to me, as growing up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn in the 1980s, where the last large Scandinavian population in New York City lived, there were many Norwegian and Danish families who welcomed my family as well. Now, walking in their capital, I also think their friendly attitude has much to do with increased daily exercise and making the most of the weather even when it is bad.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
On this short trip, my timing could not have been more perfect, as I came to Copenhagen just at the start of the annual Copenhagen Jazz Festival. The streets were brimming with music from a number of free concerts. Caught in a raining cats and dogs moment near Højbro Plads, I stumbled upon a square where "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was playing. Though soaked through, I couldn't help but have a big goofy grin as I enjoyed my pint of Carlsberg and realized I was over the rainbow.
[1] Naturally, in Danny Kaye's voice and not my own. What can I say? If it was not a cartoon or on PBS, my parents would only allow my sister and I to watch most films that were pre-1970. As a result, I grew up with a love of classic films, particularly, musicals.

Constant agonizing pain is hard to imagine for most. It consumes you, confines you, and can destroy your family and work life. Spinal cord stimulation is a path you can take to move beyond the pain, to step back into the life you once new. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is the most commonly used implantable neurostimulation modality for management of pain syndromes. It is a pain treatment modality predicated on reducing the intensity, duration, and frequency in which pain is felt. Dr. Vashi uses the first and only system of its kind to allow for MRI's to be performed with a stimulator in place!
Dr. Vashi mainly uses them to help control radicular pain, otherwise known as sciatica. It is not solely used postoperatively. At times, it can be used to control/manage your pain without having back surgery. It starts with a trial. This is important for a variety of reasons, but mainly it serves as an evaluation period for you and Dr. Vashi to determine if spinal cord stimulation is the right course of action for you. Before committing to long-term therapy, you will have 7-10 days with the trial to gauge its effectiveness. Call us today to schedule an appointment to see if you may be a candidate! 262-764-5595.

Blue Florals
I love floral prints, and I love open-back dresses, so when I saw this one on Lulus.com I knew I had to grab it immediately. Lulu's is the place where I buy the majority of my clothing because it's easy, and most everything I've bought from their online store has fit me nearly perfectly or at least rather well.
I styled this dress with simple jewelry, and two different pairs of nude sueded shoes. The lace-up ballet flats from Steve Madden, and then the sky-high scrappy sandal from - you guessed it - Lulus.com!
I love how this skirt is perfect for summer and can transition into fall quite beautifully with a tall boot and nice, long tan jacket. The detailing in the back is just adorable, and was one of the main reasons I scooped this up so quickly. In the photos below, you can see how it quickly brings the casual dress a more sophisticated vibe with the high heels.
DRESS: Lulu's Ivory and Navy Floral Skater Dress
FLATS: Steve Madden Lecrew flats sold out (similar here)
HEELS: Lulu's Bone Heels
SUNNIES: Sole Society Lysanne Round Bar Sunglasses - Blue-One Size
NECKLACE: Lulu's gold and pearl layered necklace

contact • about • weddings •photojournalism
I spend a lot of time chasing my beagle Nora.
I live in Traverse City, Michigan and often dream of the places where I learned to watch people, and subsequentally photography...Some of those places inlcude Australia, Taiwan, and China where I studied Mandarin Chinese. As well as Mexico, Bolivia, Colombia and Rwanda exploring and documenting coffee producers in the Fair Trade coffee market.
Photography is a way for me to meet new people and communicate with the world. I don't want to simply take pictures, I want to learn something about the people and places I shoot. This is the same for an assignment in Bolivia, for a local magazine shoot in Northern Michigan or someone's wedding. In all cases, there is a beauty and a story to tell.
In addition to photography, I teach in the Social Science Department at Northwestern Michigan College. I currently teach a World Regional Geography course.
I have a graduate certificate from the Hopkins-Nanjing Center for Chinese and American Studies and speak fluent Mandarin Chinese. I have a bachelors degree in International Studies from Northern Michigan University.
