Kloden Wildwood is the Third skirmish map you unlocked in Valkyria Chronicles, it is identical to the map used in the game's fitfh chapter; Chapter 05: The Kloden Wildwood.
It becomes playable after the events of Chapter 07: The Battle of Barious.
The map is a large forested area, it is much longer than the previous maps and will take far longer to traverse by your infantry. To the far east is the main Imperial supply base which is the target of the mission to the north and south west is your deployment zone.
The Edelweiss is deployed along a dirt track which cuts through the forest into the enemy forward base and then continues on to the main depot over the brow of a low hill. Running along the south of the road is a high cliff on which the defenders have mounted static guns and to the north of it is yet another forward outpost where another static gun is positioned looking out over the road, beyond this is a narrow trail leading to the supply base which is guarded by infantry.
Landmarks and Street Names
- 1st Garrison
- 2nd Garrison
- Forestbund Marsh
- North Kloden Plateau
- North Kloden Road
- North Kloden Supply Base
- Old Path
- (Path) to Imperial Alliance
Let me catch you up on the current situationEdit
"We've received intelligence reporting Imperial activity in the area. This is your starting position. Sweep in quickly and drive their strike force back. Your objective is to occupy their base camp. Good luck."
- Two Scouts, the Edelweiss and an engineer (with Alicia, Rosie, and Largo deployed for CP) may easily clear this skirmish with an A rank. Deploy one scout at the top position and the rest of the units at the bottom. Advance the scout on the top and destroy the anti tank gun. Advance the Edelweiss twice and mortar the lancer in targeting range. Advance the lower scout and kill the wounded lancer. End the turn. Repair the damage to the Edelweiss with the Engineer, then take out the other lancer. Take the Edelweiss to the right of the enemy tank and drive through the side, by moving slightly to the left and right, it may force itself through and destroy the radiator. The lower scout advances on the path under the base camp and destroys the fallen tree in the way with a grenade, advancing and killing the anti tank gun (requires multiple CP), while the Edelweiss moves to the main base camp, shooting the enemy tank in its turned rear. On the next turn, bring the Edelweiss into the main camp, mortar the enemies around the flag (this may required Increased Payload) and capture it with the scout.
- In Hard difficulty, deployment locations and the main enemy bases have been moved around. The Edelweiss and Shamrock are inside of the "North Kloden Supply Base" camp (where the Lupus would be in the Story mission), while the remaining 8 empty slots are at the "2nd Garrison" enemy base. However, this is just at the initial deployment. Once the mission has started, there is one additional Gallian base camp located at "1st Garrison" where units can be deployed.
- The primary mission is to take the enemy base camp located at the top of the hill above the "North Kloden Supply Base". There are no other bases beyond this one.
- On initial deployment, only deploy the essential CP-gaining characters (Alicia, Rosie, Largo) at the "2nd Garrison" base camp. They will not be used for the battle, as units that will be deployed at the "1st Garrison" base will do essentially all the work. Place Alicia and Rosie near the top slots to prevent enemy troops from attempting to run in and take over the base.
- On the first turn, be sure to move the Edelweiss outside of the North Kloden base towards the 1st Garrison base. Use the cannon round to take out the single Heavy AT Cannon positioned on the hillside to prevent it from destroying the Edelweiss. Move the Shamrock outside of the North Kloden base along with the Edelweiss.
- At the 1st Garrison base, deploy a Lancer (one with Ult. Anti-Armor would be best), a Shocktrooper, and a Scout. End turn with any leftover CP.
- Once the units have been deployed at 1st Garrison, move the Scout to kill the enemy Engineer which has ran ahead of the Tank Destroyer pack. Continue to move the Scout around to destroy the downed trees which opens the path to the top of the hill. Then use the Shocktrooper to destroy both Heavy Gatling turrets with the flamethrower (you might need to give your Shocktrooper "Defense Boost" or "Caution" to prevent them from dying in the process).
- Use your newly deployed Lancer to destroy most or all of the Tank Destroyers coming down the road (Ult. Anti-Armor should allow the tanks to be killed in one shot). While this is not required, it does lower the chance of the Edelweiss or any of your troops from being randomly killed during the mission.
- For the remaining turns, move your Shocktrooper up the hill and destroy the Heavy AT Cannons next to the base flag (all cannons must be destroyed before taking over the base). Be careful of the anti-personnel landmine placed behind the sandbags at the main enemy base, as this can potentially ruin your run and force your Scout to have to make a run for the enemy base.
- Expert Difficulty Special Conditions
- Main Objective Changed: Welkin reaches the destination
- Starting Units Changed: Edelweiss and Shamrock not available; Welkin (Scout) and 7 empty slots
- Welkin cannot give Orders
- As Welkin does not have his tank, if he is ever incapacitated during the battle then that is the end of the game. Keep him out of danger at all costs. (see above)

- Units Deployed:
- [1] Rosie
- [2] Alicia
- [3] Lancer (preferably with Ult. Anti-Armor)
- [4] Shocktrooper
- [5] None
- [6] None
- [7] Largo
- Turn 1
- Move Welkin through the main enemy base and up the slope towards the two Snipers at the top of the hill. Kill both Snipers (using two turns), then proceed down the hill towards the destructible barricades. Spend one more turn to destroy the barricade and move to the bottom of the hillside.
- Move [1] slowly around the tent until you can peek at the Shocktrooper standing next to the river. Kill him then move towards the small grassy path. Use another turn to crawl through some of the grass, then use the flamethrower near the middle of the grass path to kill the hidden Shocktrooper. Continue crawling through the grass and hug the right side around the base of the tree; there should be just enough space to keep out of sight of the Gatling Turrets.
- Move [4] through the eastern grass path (towards the enemy's middle base) and use the flamethrower to kill the Sniper hidden in the grass lying prone next to the river.
- Move [3] in the same direction of [1]. From across the river, try to take out two of the tanks if possible (two CP total); but do not spend an excessive amount of CP trying to do so. Afterwards, move [3] down the same grass path as [1].
- Turn 2
- Move [1] through the grass until you are behind both Gatling Turrets and use a single flamethrower sweep to destroy both. Use your remaining AP moving towards the sandbags next to the Medium Tank+.
- Move [3] through the grass path and destroy any tanks remaining. Use any remaining AP to move towards the riverside enemy base.
- Move [1] forward towards the downed logs and kill the Gatling Turret.
- Move [3] forward and destroy the downed logs and push as far to the enemy base as possible.
- Keep moving [1] forward until you take over the riverside base. You can also destroy the Heavy AT Cannon and Shocktrooper as you move.
- Using the remaining CP to call in a Shocktrooper and any other units needed to cover the riverside base, as the enemy will actively attempt to retake the base.
- Turn 3
- Move your new Shocktrooper towards where Welkin has been positioned. Kill the Shocktrooper standing in front of the downed logs.
- Have Welkin destroy the downed logs with a grenade, then keep moving across the map towards the grass path that [1] and [3] went through. Spend about 3 CP to maximize his movement.
- Use any remaining CP to either kill the remaining enemy troops (including the Ace in the middle base) or just hold position until the next turn.
- Turn 4
- Spend as many CP as you want to move Welkin back to the home base to complete the mission.

Weir Equations in HEC-RAS

Can a stepped spillway simulation performed with HEC-RAS?ReplyDeleteReplies
HEC-RAS is not a suitable tool to simulate detailed hydraulics down a stepped spillway. However, to the extent you can simulate the effect of a stepped spillway on the upstream energy head using the equations above, it can certainly be part of a HEC-RAS model.Delete
Hi Chris..........My name is Rodrigo and i am from Chile.ReplyDelete
I have a question about modelling gated weirs with ogee shape.
The downstream section of the weir is the natural stream section or its located at the end of the ogee profile??
Best regards
In a ogee crest spilway what is the meaning of the with parameter?Replies
I don't know what the "with" parameter is. Please clarify.Delete
Hi Chris,ReplyDelete
Do you have any insight into the new "Overflow Computational Method" for lateral structures into a 2d area (e.g. Normal 2D Equation vs. Use Weir Equation)? If one is trying to model a 1d/2d connection where there is overland flow and a non-elevated overbank, what might be the benefits or shortcomings of each method? What would you set your weir width to for an overland flow situation with a low weir coefficient chosen from the table above? Any other advice to reduce 1d/2d flow errors over lateral structures?
Toby-Great questions! the quick answer is: "if it is acting like a weir, model it as a weir, otherwise model it with the 2D equations." However, as with many things in RAS, there's a lot more nuance involved. I like to think about the input data required and how confident I am with it. The weir equation requires a very subjective weir coefficient. The 2D equations do not. Although the 2D equations come with their own subjective assumptions and limitations: terrain quality, theta value, eddy viscosity, full momentum or diffusion wave, etc, etc. So for me, if it's an elevation connection, I'd lean towards the weir. If it is overland flow, I'd lean towards using the 2D equations. HEC does caution against using the 2D equations if the connection is elevated such that water going over it will experience "free fall" (i.e. a waterfall). The 2D equations can't handle that. This might just be another good example where you try them both as part of your sensitivity analysis. Also, keep in mind that the weir width is not used at all in the computations (weir or 2D equations). It is purely there for graphical purposes. As far as advice to reduce 1D/2D flow errors over lateral structures: Break up long lateral structures into multiple smaller ones. Be careful not to use too high of a weir coefficient. Do not have cells adjacent to the lateral structure that reside completely on the slope of the levee/berm/whatever you're modeling with the lateral structure. I typically like to take the cross sections right to the peak of the high ground feature, but start my 2D cells at the toe of the feature. Good luck!Delete

In the 18th century European society was unquestionably masculine, dominated in all aspects by men. Religiously speaking, suggesting at the time that women were spiritually equal to men was a sort of blasphemy, the main argument being Eve's weakness. According to the English journalist Samuel Johnson, the activity of women preachers was more a circus than a sermon in the real sense of the word: "A woman's preaching is like a dog's walking on his hind legs. It is not done well, but you are surprised to find it done at all."997 Yet, one of the boldest and most original dissident groups of the period was led by a woman.
Ann Lee was a victim of the environment in which she lived. The second in a family of eight brothers, she was born in 1736 in a poor district of Manchester, England. Her father was a blacksmith whose modest income hardly fed the family. At the age of eight she was employed in a textile mill, and a couple of years later she served as a cook at the public infirmary and at the madhouse. Manchester was an overpopulated and unhealthy city, with streets full of filth and poverty. The poor workers – including her father – were suppressing their frustrations and despair in alcohol, while rape, prostitution, child abuse, wife beating and infant death were common. This degrading environment triggered in the young Lee a strong aversion to sexual intercourse: "so great was the sense of its impurity, that she often admonished her mother against it, which, coming to her father's ears, he threatened and actually attempted to whip her."998
The intolerable urban atmosphere of the 18th century drove many to seek refuge in religion. In 1758 Ann Lee found spiritual shelter in the bosom of the Quakers led by Jane and James Wardley. Unlike the genuine Quakers of George Fox, the society of the Wardleys worshiped God through ecstatic dance or shaking (trembling). This thing brought them the name of "Shaker Quakers." Their meetings started with a period of meditation during which they were expecting the coming of the spirit. The silence was quickly interrupted by dramatic manifestations: the believers – particularly the women – were openly confessing their sins and after a few minutes they experienced violent shakings, singings, screams, whistles, dances and prophecies. All these demonstrations were believed to be proofs that the Holy Spirit was cleansing the believer from sin.
The Wardleys were also influenced by Élie Marion's L'Enfants de Dieu and Jane Leade's Philadelphians. Both groups had millenarist doctrines and were led by women. From these the Wardleys took the image of the androgynous God and the belief in the imminence of Parousia. Because at the First Coming God the Son incarnated as the man Jesus, at the Second Coming he will incarnate as a woman.999 The androgynous God involved gender equality – an extremely controversial issue until the French Revolution. But Jane and James Wardley went even further. Theoretically, they led their group from equal positions, but practically, because God was about to come in female form, women had a privileged position within the group.
Ann Lee avoided marrying several times because her repulsion to sex made her think that it was better if she remained single. But in 1792 she was forced by her father to marry Abraham Standerin, his apprentice blacksmith. Ann Lee, due to her independent spirit, ignored the tradition and kept her family name. A simple man, Standerin was little compatible with his complex and stubborn partner; yet, in the next years Ann Lee became pregnant eight times. She lost four pregnancies, and the four children born were not able to survive more than six years. This line of terrible experiences gradually demolished her psyche and strengthened her radical views. She saw the death of her children as a divine punishment for committing the sin of sexual intercourse. According to her testimony, the feeling of guilt was overwhelming:
I was sometimes under such sufferings and tribulation that I could not rest in my bed anights; but had to get up and walk the floor. I feared to go to sleep, lest I should awaken to find myself suffering the just consequences of violation of God's laws. When I felt my eyes closing with sleep I used to pull them open with my fingers, and say within myself, I had better open my eyes here than in hell. … I felt such a sense of my sins that I was willing to confess them before the whole world.1000
Ann Lee shared her fears to Jane Wardley, who advised her to practice celibacy and abstinence in order to purify her soul. From that point on, Ann Lee distinguished herself from the Quakers, who supported gender equality, but they had nothing against marriage and sexual relations. Besides celibacy, she also practiced food deprivation, sleep deprivation, hard work, long prayers and fasts – all imitating Christ's sufferings.
Standerin was not thrilled at all by his wife's decision; after a series of violent disputes he complained to the clergy and asked for help. The priests confronted Ann Lee with the Bible, citing from Paul the Apostle: "Wives, [be in subjection] unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord" (Ephesians 5:22). But no priest or man could make this rising prophetess change her mind. Standerin finally came to realize that his wife decided to become Christ's bride and she would not fall back. In the end he chose to remain faithful to her, but he sought refuge in drinking.1001
The dark night of Lee's soul lasted until 1770. The Wardleys were non-violent fanatics, but they used to disturb the local ceremonies by tempestuously entering churches and accusing married couples of adultery. Due to their strange behavior, many of them were thrown into prison. During one of these incarcerations Ann Lee developed an outstanding theory (apparently through a divine revelation) regarding the true mistake of the first people in the Garden of Eden and the true path of salvation.1002 According to Ann Lee, the original sin of Adam and Eve – through which all mankind was lost and separated from God – was not an actual bite from an apple, but the sexual intercourse. Eden is a metaphor for the spiritual and physical state of the first people. The minds and the bodies of Adam and Eve before the fall were perfect, and the riches of Eden symbolize the power the first people had. Furthermore, God warned Adam and Eve not to eat the forbidden fruit after the creation of Eve. Genesis says that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was placed in the middle of Eden (Genesis 2:9), as the sexual organs are positioned in the middle of the human body. God allowed the first people to use all their powers (to eat from all trees), with the exception of the power of procreation (not to eat from the tree of the knowledge). After Adam and Eve bit the infamous apple (they had sexual relations), they hid their nakedness because their organs were bearing the signs of devirginization. Later, Jesus Christ was born by a virgin, Mary, through the action of the Holy Spirit, and not through sexual relations. Likewise, Jesus was neither married nor had sexual relations during his life. So, the pleasure of the flesh (of sex) is the root of all evil.
When she got out of prison Ann Lee was a totally different person. She …

Now a Major Motion Picture
With the publication of his groundbreaking novels The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol, and Angels & Demons, Dan Brown has become an international best-selling sensation, seamlessly fusing codes, symbols, art, and history into riveting thrillers that have captivated hundreds of millions of fans around the world. Now Dan Brown takes listeners deep into the heart of Italy, guiding them through a landscape that inspired one of history's most ominous literary classics.
"The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis."
Harvard professor of symbology Robert Langdon awakens in a hospital in the middle of the night. Disoriented and suffering from a head wound, he recalls nothing of the last 36 hours, including how he got there...or the origin of the macabre object that his doctors discover hidden in his belongings.
Langdon's world soon erupts into chaos, and he finds himself on the run in Florence with a stoic young woman, Sienna Brooks, whose clever maneuvering saves his life. Langdon quickly realizes that he is in possession of a series of disturbing codes created by a brilliant scientist - a genius whose obsession with the end of the world is matched only by his passion for one of the most influential masterpieces ever written: Dante Alighieri's dark epic poem The Inferno.
Racing through such timeless locations as the Palazzo Vecchio, the Boboli Gardens, and the Duomo, Langdon and Brooks discover a network of hidden passageways and ancient secrets as well as a terrifying new scientific paradigm that will be used either to vastly improve the quality of life on earth...or to devastate it.
In his most riveting and thought-provoking novel to date, Dan Brown has raised the bar yet again. Inferno is a sumptuously entertaining listen - a novel that will captivate listeners with the beauty of classical Italian art, history, and literature while also posing provocative questions about the role of cutting-edge science in our future.

"Lost interest..."
before I finished the first "book". I thouroughly enjoyed Dan Brown's previous three novels, and had trouble putting them down. This story is not based on history, with the exception references to objects and cities that exist. Too much of a reality stretch for me, and I found the narrator's female characterizations a turn off. Different strokes, so while I was disappointed, another listener could find it enjoyable; I simply did not.
"Wow ,why did i preorder?"
I listened to almost all of the first half and had to stop. No drama. No tension. No character development. And so much detail about the buildings and paintings and hallways and floors and doorways in Florence.......you get the picture.
Worst of all I loved all of Dan Brown's other books, especially the last few. I was really looking forward to something great.
"Nothing is what it seems"
I was a fan of Dan Brown's before the Da Vinci Code took off and catapulted him to the literary stratosphere. Brown is an intelligent writer who is a master of intricate plot development. Inferno is perhaps his best novel yet.
The action takes place over a very short period of time and starts with Robert Langdon (Harvard symbologist and art history professor) waking up with amnesia in an Italian hospital and narrowly escaping an attempt on his life. Langdon soon finds himself fleeing with Dr. Sienna Brooks as he tries to unravel the mystery of why he is being chased, why he has retrograde amnesia, and why he is having visions of Dante's Inferno.
The people chasing Langdon are members of the shadowy Consortium, and it takes a while to determine why they are chasing him and what it is they are looking for.
Nothing is what it seems in Inferno and no one is what s/he seems.
One of the many joys of Dan Brown's works is his meticulous attention to detail and the wealth of knowledge he imparts about a subject area. His ability to bring Washington DC alive is paralleled in Inferno with all the information about Florence, and to a lesser degree, Venice. Brown's knowledge of Dante and all the art inspired by Dante's works is similarly encyclopedic, but he never conveys the information in a pedantic way. It took me about 4 hours of listening before I realized that the portrait on the book cover is Dante himself.
Brown makes the reader (or listener) want to go out and explore in depth the things he's describing.
All of that is background to a taut thrilling story. The twists and turns in Inferno are incredible, and the reader / listener is often surprised by what is really going on. This is a many-layered masterpiece and has none of the preachiness of some of the earlier Langdon novels.
This is a well-crafted thriller with vaguely apocalyptic overtones. Langdon still comes across as a bit of a superhero, but the other characters are painted in shades of grey and are more multi-dimensional than in previous Brown novels.
Brown's philosophical musing in Inferno revolves around overpopulation and its effect on humanity. However, it's not heavy-handed.
I'd describe this as a literary thriller. It's a great blend of art, literature and a cracking adventure / mystery story. Hopefully this will win Brown back some of his earlier fans.
Paul Michael does an exceptional job narrating the story again.
Great story; great narration. Two thumbs up.
Life is too short to waste on bad authors.
"Formulaic and boring"
After the Lost Symbol, I was hesitant to read another one of Brown's books but I thought since there was a large gap of time between Symbol and this one, I decided that maybe I'd give it a shot.
Nope. Brown's writing falls flat for me; sad to say. I just could not get into it.
I don't know but Paul Michael was okay.
"Good ride through a few more European cities"
I enjoyed this book. Easy to listen to and I really enjoy the tour guide through famous cities. I felt it was very similar to the DaVinci Code in style. Take the DaVinci Code, plop it into a different city with a different book other than the bible and you have this book. So it follows the same formula. However, it is highly enjoyable and a fast ride. I can see tour guides in a few more cities setting up tours based on this book!
Narration was great...will probably listen to this again with the hubby on a road trip.
Brown sticks to his formula - Langdon is running from diverse and dangerous adversaries in order to save the world from a pending disaster. A young, highly intelligent woman falls for him .... but of course. There are a few twists and turns, you can see them coming. Think this might be my last Dan Brown buy.
I love a good story. Audible allows me to be outside, hiking and walking and keeping up on great literature.
"I Should Have Known Better..."
Not at this point. I enjoyed The DaVinci Code, but slogged through the Lost Symbol, and was dumb enough to try this one. If you've read one, you've read them all. He has relied too heavily on the success of one book to generate others, and it has become trite.
Pretty much as I said above, it's the same story over and over, and the writing is too predictable. Given the potential, I was hoping for more.
He was bland.
I couldn't get all the way through the book, it was too predictable and disappointing.

"Timely plot"
The Dan Brown enjoyment factor is in the not-so-subtle guide book quality. Seriously, I need to hit Istanbul and the JFK mile... He manages enough hard and good science to make it intriguing, plenty of excitement with the necessary twists and turns. A bit on the too convenient side in places within this plot, but not every work can be hit out of the park.
I've read and/or heard them and enjoyed them all.
I'm becoming a fan of the duo of voices in audiobooks and the background side effects. It is a bit difficult to continue to hear female voices torn to pieces by a male reader. They frequently manage one voice fine, two sometimes, and three or more? Not so much. They fall back on stereotypes...
That said, you'll note that the performance brought the book's total rating up to a four star, whereas I only gave the book itself a three star.
Parts simply dragged along with too much exposition and not enough dialog. Also the 'convenience' factor was a bit too heavy.
Audible has changed my life! Dry , itchy eyes were destroying one of my greatest pleasures - reading. Now I am experiencing books again!
"Dante's probably spinning in his grave"
but, what the "Hell", it's Dan Brown!
How to relate a literary classic about sin to the problem of population control? Ignore the fact that there is no real connection, supply non-stop action, and manipulate your readers til their minds boggle! That's the Dan Brown way, and he has returned more or less to form in "Inferno".
It's been pointed out by many (including me) that this author is not a stellar writer, improbabilities-to-impossibilities abound in all his books, and he pulls all kinds of unfair tricks on the reader. But here's a guy who knows how find an intriguing premise, then how to grab and hold your attention throughout a longish book.
If you like Brown in top form (as in "DaVinci Code" and "Angels and Demons"), then you will almost certainly like "Inferno". At times infuriating, this is still a fun and diverting ride! And Paul Michael delivers it with authority and enthusiasm.
Living the Dream
If you want a lesson in Italian Art and enjoy a book with lots of fluff than this one is for you . There are many great parts where Mr Dan has you hooked but then he goes off in never never land . ! Good ending !
all ~~ He is great

Johnny Depp is one of the world's great movie stars. But he can play the role of rock star pretty convincingly, too. The actor, 48, grabbed his guitar and joined Marilyn Manson on stage Wednesday night for a rollicking performance at Revolver magazine's Golden Gods Awards concert at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. But in true Depp style, he played it cool - keeping his head low, almost to the point of being incognito. And indeed, it took a while for the crowd to realize that a Hollywood superstar was in their midst. Related: Justin Bieber, Johnny Depp Pledge Support to »

Fotodiox Introduces PopSpot Compact LED Fresnel Light
Fotodiox Pro has announced the PopSpot Focusable Fresnel, a tiny LED light in a package about the size of a soda can.
The Fotodiox PopSpot allows videographers to focus its beam for precision, strong contrast and dramatic shadows.
It is available in three configurations: the PopSpot Focusable Fresnel, the PopSpot Focusable Fresnel + Battery Module and the PopSpot Focusable Fresnel three-light kit with rolling carrying case.
"The problem with most Fresnel lights is they're bulky, heavy and fragile, and they get screaming hot to the touch," said Bohus Blahut, marketing director for Fotodiox Pro. "But our new PopSpot Focusable Fresnel does away with those pitfalls by combining power and control in a form factor about the size of a pop can.
"A simple twist focuses the PopSpot's output from a 55 to 25-degree beam angle, and removable barn doors offer further control of the shape and direction of the light. We've even included a slot for a slide-in tungsten filter."
Not only can the PopSpot be used for tabletop shooting or as a rim or hair light, it can be used as a primary light in many shooting scenarios. Its compact size and lightweight build offers flexibility in mounting, positioning and concealing.
It's so small it can travel virtually anywhere. The light runs off either conventional AC power or an optional battery module for on-the-go lighting. It remains cool throughout use.
The head measures 3¼ x 3¼ x 8¼-inches without the battery and weighs two pounds. The single head costs $274.95 without the battery module and $399.95 with it. The three-head kit costs $1099.95, including two batteries for each head.

The 7 Craziest Lines From The Craziest Thing Ever Written About Video Games
Wacky old Peter Hitchens — brother to the late, great Christopher, former socialist, current cane-shaking conservative, probable owner of a powdered wig — has turned his formidable intellect to Grand Theft Auto V. And what he has found has left him morally outraged, agog, monocle forever shattered. The best bits:
1. "If the Devil had his own bible, it would probably take the form of a computer game."
This is the first sentence. For some reason I'm most put off by Hitchens' assumption that the devil is male. Others may find this courtly and a little sweet.
2. "It would offer the player the joys of money, successful violence and easy, responsibility-free sex."
As as a person who has spent money and engaged in sexual intercourse, I can comfortably refute this point. I'm left to believe that Hitchens has either A) Never spent money or had sex, or B) Never played a video game.
I'm not sure what the joy of successful violence is, though. I'm also not sure what successful violence is.
3. "None of your pleasures would be paid for in coin, pain or grief."
Does this mean that pleasures paid for in coin are, contra the Devil's game-bible, godly? What a relief this will be to the whoremongers, drug-takers, and gluttons of the world!
4. "Everyone else in the game would be disposable and forgettable. And it would contain one big lie. You would come out at the end happy and unharmed, and wanting more."
Wait, d'ya mean to tell me that fiction is one big lie? Does that mean all those other things that are fiction, like novels, and films and stuff, that those aren't real either? No wonder all of those really good movies and novels left me wanting more…
5. "Officially it's for those aged 18 and over, but nobody takes that seriously in modern, child-hating Britain. If you haven't got it, you're not cool."
I really have to take issue with this. I don't live in "modern Britain" but I did major in literature and I have read my share of Charles Dickens. Britain has always hated children.
Also, I would contest that idea that a teenager who does not play video games is uncool, from my perspective as a person who did play video games as a teenager.
6. "For every one who goes on a rampage shooting, there are thousands whose school work goes off the rails, thousands who treat girls like toys, thousands who consider callousness, dishonesty and bad manners as normal."
Sounds scientific.
7. "Many years ago in a French seaport town, I saw…a vision of evil. In a grubby cafe a boy of about 11 or 12 was ceaselessly feeding coins into one of the crude gaming machines then available…
His eyes were blank, the skin of his face was dry and horribly pale. He looked as if he rarely ate. He was (this was, after all, France) smoking a cigarette. I swore at that moment that I would protect any child under my authority from this influence."
Hitchens didn't have to travel far from England, beacon of the civilized, to find a vision of Conradian evil: not even to the colonies, only to a Catholic country! Specifically France, where they smoke cigarettes and fornicate, probably. Specifically a seaport town, where dark Mediterranean winds blow sin up from the indolent and mad South and the inscrutable East.
If such evil were allowed to spread to England, the children of St. George might grow pale and tobacco-stained. Perish the thought!
8. "These games kill our imaginations, which help us to be kind, and replace them with the liquid manure of pure selfishness, which helps us to be cruel."
9. "Islam is at home in this country and grows stronger every week."
Not kidding.
- Republicans have breathed new life into their once dead Obamacare replacement and it may be enough to get the bill through the House.
- People are calling the Trump administration's new "criminal alien" hotline to report how they've been victimized by space aliens 👽☎
- Sebastian Gorka couldn't make it as a national security expert in Hungary, but that's not stopping him from advising President Trump.
- Chipotle is finally adding dessert to its menu and cinnamon, honey, and caramel butter dipping sauce will be involved 😋

Charles Meredith:
Music, wars and a skate park
Dear Friends,
Good morning. Save this Sunday (March 19) at 1:30 p.m. for the 140th Anniversary Concert of the Quakertown Band at the Strayer Middle School in Quakertown.
As the promo stated, "The Quakertown Band has been part of the fabric of Quakertown, without pause, for 140 years and we have a lot to celebrate.
During this concert, Conductor Richard Karschner will officially pass the baton to the new Conductor, Joseph Santanello. Also, trumpeter Maynard Cressman marks his 60th year with the band as he joins a trio of trumpets in Leroy Anderson's famous, "Trumpeters Holiday."
1877 was a special year for me. First, the Quakertown Band began as the Germania Band and second, the Quakertown National Bank first opened its doors. I've been associated with both institutions for decades. By the way, the Germania Band was a perfectly descriptive title in 1877.
Quakertown was founded by Quakers and Pennsylvania Germans. But anything with a German name became the kiss of death, thanks to the influence of Kaiser William in the first World War and Adolf Hitler in the second.
The Quakertown Band is one of America's oldest community bands and deserves our support.
See you at the concert.
On a different topic, I just finished "Dereliction of Duty" by Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, President Trump's new national security advisor. The three-star general's book about the Vietnam War is a must-read for anyone who is critical of that war. "Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies that led to Vietnam," references the book's subtitle.
There was plenty of blame to go around in that war. First, President Eisenhower never should have tried to help General Charles de Gaulle hold on to France's colonial possession in Southeast Asia.
President Kennedy complicated matters further by sending Green Berets to bolster the Diem regime in South Vietnam. And worse, President Johnson misled Congress and the American public about a civil war that never should have been fought by America.
My search via Wikipedia reminded me about the tragic statistics: 282,000 allied deaths; 444,000 South and North Vietnam military deaths; 629,000 civilian deaths (north and south); for a total of 1,353,000 killed.
Since the Korean War in 1950, America's foreign affairs record has been dismal. Our presidents and their military and civilian advisors have failed to pay attention to history. I worry that our new president has the capacity to lead us into another mess. But that's a subject for another day.
In the meantime, here's a positive subject. I recently attended a Quakertown Rotary meeting and learned that the Quakertown Skate Park is alive and well. Thanks to the leadership of Reverend David Kratz of the East Swamp Mennonite Church in Quakertown and Quakertown Borough officials, what was once a municipal problem has become an asset.
Kratz was the speaker at the Quakertown Rotary Club last week. The brochures he distributed told the tale. "The Quakertown Park is a free, open to the public skatepark that includes ramps that cater to every discipline of bicycle riding. The park at the intersection of Main and Ninth streets caters to bikers, skaters, and rollerbladers of all ages in a safe environment.
"Here, friendships are formed, dreams are realized, and many doors are opened. It provides a place for participants to socialize and it promotes well-being by allowing all of the riders a chance to stay busy and channel their energy into something active and productive.
"When the park was first built 20 years ago, few understood the potential of the skatepark to foster both mental and physical growth. At the park, younger generations will learn from those who've come before them and they in turn progress their sport."
Rev. Kratz told the Rotarians that the Quakertown skate park is raising $100,000 to build a home base of operations for both the Quakertown Borough Park and Recreation Department, and Free Fall Action sports. The building will include a snack stand, bathrooms, a shared meeting area, Free Fall office and media room, and the Quakertown Borough park and recreation offices.
Kratz is a good speaker and will be happy to provide an interesting program for service clubs and the like. The project deserves your involvement and financial help. You can reach the pastor and Quakertown Borough through
. Or you can reach him at 267-377-9399.
Sincerely, Charles Meredith

Robert Nkemdiche's recruitng visit to LSU is off to an exciting start.
Nkemdiche, the nation's No. 1 high school prospect, met former Tigers great Shaquille O'Neal as he moves closer to choosing a school.
Nkemdiche enjoyed a rousing start to his time in Louisiana thanks to an appearance by O'Neal during dinner at Texas De Brazil. Tigers running back Jeremy Hill tweeted a photo of himself, Nkemdiche, O'Neal and others at the restaurant.
Nkemdiche is expected to visit LSU through the weekend.
According to multiple reports, the Tigers are still facing an uphill climb to sign Nkemdiche, a 6-foot-5, 265-pound defensive end.
Nkemdiche's older brother, Denzel, plays linebacker for Mississippi, and their mother, Beverly, has been vocal in her desire that they play together.
Nkemdiche, who had orginally planned on attending Clemson before decommiting in December, is expected to make his college choice Wednesday morning on ESPNU.

Drew and Jenny have spent years being the envy of their friends with their out of control sex lives – well, not really. Mostly it makes their friends want to throw up in their mouths a little. With two little kids and two busy lives, for the first time, Drew and Jenny aren't on the same page in the bedroom. Drew will stop at nothing to get his previously amorous wife back in the sack and Jenny will do anything for a full night of sleep. Carter and Claire, and Jim and Liz are their usual (un)helpful selves and are full of advice for the discontented duo, wanting nothing more than to help restore order to the usually happy couple's lives. In the third and final installment of the Chocolate Lovers Series, will Drew and Jenny find the spark that's been missing in their marriage, or will the trouble they're having cause a stickier situation than the time Jenny poured honey all over Drew and he fused himself to a tree?

Singapore has attempted to prepare her students for the knowledge economy by implementing a series of Information Technology master plans. The need to train teachers on how to use the master plan provision of video production tools prompted the author to develop a course for pre-service teachers that focused on collaborative critiquing using computer-supported collaborative learning, an area of scant literature. This study focused on the online discussion part of the course and examined how online scaffolding can be used to support pre-service teachers in acquiring video production knowledge, in developing critiquing technique and Socratic Thinking through critiquing video design examples. Findings has shown that scaffolding strategies can be successfully employed to encourage learners to improve their knowledge, generate active debate on many contentious issues, keep discussion organised and make in-depth contributions from multiple perspectives. Implications to five areas of practice were drawn: online discussion, learner development, the teaching of design studies, staff development and design of learning environments.

Absolutely the best wings in the area. The service is outstanding. The price is right. The seating is comfortable. The overall atmosphere is welcoming.
Co worker and I went here for our lunch break. The restaurant wasn't very busy yet our service was lack luster. It bit pricey for the food however the product they serve always tastes good. They are known for their wings and beer. Stick with that and you won't be disappointed.
Last time there on a Monday of course, lower prices. We left before ordering even. As we went in were told to seat ourselves and there was an empty both that still needed to be cleaned and since we don't do high tops we began to sit. Immediately on of the servers came running over and said she was saving...
This is a very lively and energetic restaurant.At least 16 T V's playing sports.A large boisterous crowd talking over the the T V's lots of families and kids all having a good time and enjoying the food.Not a place for a quiet night.But a fun place for a first date or a family night out.
The menu is large and...
This is a busy and bustling place. We sat at the bar and ate there. The waitress was fast, friendly and efficient.
We had a pitcher of beer, two excellent juicy burgers for just over $20.00.
Most people ordered chicken dishes.
The atmosphere was good and people friendly.
Would definitely go again.
a little awkward to get to, depending on which direction you're travelling, but worth it once you get there.good, fresh chicken, great seasoned wedge fries, breaded mac-n-cheese.great mixed drinks, and cold beer.
Rooster's is a typical sports bar, but what I love about it is that it's a nice place with inexpensive drinks to just hang out with friends. Low pressure, high reward :) Wings and food are decent.
Very good food and prices. Wings are some of the best I've had and Monday's are 59 cent night. Prices on everything else are good as well.
I was there today and watch 2 employees getting into a disagreement with each other..As the rest of the staff stood there and listen this " was" one of the best ROOSTER to eat but I will not be going back to eat there ...(sorry I really use too like coming here)
Wings were good can remember server name but was not the best at her job family and I were one of first group that sat down but waited long time for food. Christmas 2015 holiday have not been back since

Jewelry has been a feast for the eyes for thousands of years. Jewelry, which is as old as the human race itself, constantly evolves and innovates, perpetually re-defining beauty.
Take a closer look at a one-of-a-kind piece of antique jewelry – hold it up to the (candle)light. Marvel at its imperfections and the timeless essence it retains, the stories it secrets away. Our visual nature responds to this historic imagery, fulfilling not only our sense of wonder, but also our desire to feast upon artistry.
We need jewelry like we need communication and connection - we employ jewelry as a language that defines us. Jewelry, one of the oldest forms of decorative art, feeds our hunger for self-adornment and expression.
We relish a feast for the eyes, for we all desire our own definition of the beautiful – be it a decorous delicacy, a provocative thought, or an amazing piece of antique jewelry.
And on tonight's menu:
So many decadent delectables, so little time!
Who doesn't love a little green with everything? Not only good, but good for you.
Gold pairs well with everything and makes a stunning main course.
Delicacy and sweetness - a satisfying blend of diamonds, rubies and pearls.

Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness. - Allen Ginsberg
I saw her on a Saturday afternoon, walking crisply through the park. Her muted face projected a stony solemnity. I would be unable to conjure the details of her nose or eyes, only seconds later. Rather, I was seized by the sun glinting off the long strands of gold wound in slim skeins around her neck - pouring down the front of her purple sweater. Each finger was adorned with gorgeous candy-colored gemstone rings – yet her hands did not harbor the weight; they fluttered at her sides with more emotion than her austere mouth, bangles sighing gently.
In that moment, I fell in love with the way she wore her jewelry.
How do you wear your antique jewelry?
Do you carefully wear one piece at-a-time?
Do you love to wear the same piece every day?
Do you wait until a special occasion to bring out your favorite piece?
Or, do you mix it up?
Whatever your style - follow your inner moonlight.
Allow the passion for your antique jewelry to guide you, portray you, emphasize your persona and your passion for life.
Instead of wearing one diamond eternity band, why not wear three? Instead of wearing a solo French chain, why not add a locket or a fob and add a shorter articulated niello chain for contrast?
Wear pearls and diamonds during the day; mix metals, and colors and eras.
I asked a friend what pushing the boundaries of personal expression meant to her in relation to her own jewelry collection. She told me that she tended to wear pieces that expressed her mood.
A sense of happiness spawned more gold and glamour than those days when she felt less than herself. And the pieces she gravitated towards more often were the pieces given to her with love.
Whatever your style - be true to who you are.
Marchesa Luisa Casati was known for saying that she wished to be considered a living work of art. She dressed over-the-top, threw lavish costume parties, and was partial to strings of pearls that fell to her feet. She followed her inner moonlight nearly all of her adult life.
Edith Sitwell was a poet famous for her strong personality punctuated by an acerbic wit, odd Elizabethan style of dress, and ornate rings.
Whatever your style – don't hide the madness.

The collection blossomed from a gift - an Art Deco platinum ring - a simple band from the 1930s, glowing with tiny diamonds. Soon after, she singled out a pair of cut steel earrings that swayed gently against the curve of her cheek when she laughed. Later, she resonated with a royal purple amethyst cocktail ring; she wore it on her thumb. The long French chain came next – the brilliance of the 22KT gold spoke to her, and the structure reminded her of her youth, when possibilities seemed endless.
In this moment, gazing at her growing heirloom collection of antique jewelry, she realized that possibilities are always there, simply waiting for a chance.
Whether consciously or not, we all externally project our own mythologies.
You might express yourself with bright blue tresses, a Japonisme-inspired tattoo, a pair of pink converse high tops, or your grandmother's locket - which you vow to wear every day.
Jewelry is a key component of your visual identity, as both an expression of beauty and an acceptance of an artistic aesthetic that speaks to you on a deeply personal level.
It tells your story to a passerby, offers a piece of your psyche to someone who many never truly know you.
And the true beauty, is that you wear your jewelry the way you want to, the way that brings your story to life.
When you choose a one-of-a-kind antique piece to express yourself, you create a personal sensibility that is uniquely descriptive of your own expression.
You are curating a look that incorporates the jewelry of another's past life, but in this moment, it is your individual story alone.
Your antique jewelry choices author your narrative – telling the story others will remember.

Lipo 6 black hers..........Amazing
Posted by Reviewer1203418 on Mar 27, 2011
This stuff is awesome. It curbs my appetite so much that i have to force myself to eat. It also gives me lots of energy so i can exercise longer. I follow the instruction and take them on an empty stomach, but i started with two instead of three just to see if there were any side effects, but i had none and i just felt great. I highly recommend these if you really want the energy to exercise and it's a great appetite suppressant. Just remember not to take them in the evening because they will keep you awake.

Using it out loud, using it as a crutch, and five other ways we should stop using them.
Jay-Z's new album, released over the holiday weekend, includes the lyric, "Fuck the hashtags and retweets!" While critics aren't exactly swooning, he does seem to have a point. Once just a media obsession, hashtags are now a Facebook tool, an advertising vehicle, and a cultural phenomenon that even social-media abandoners must face. On television, The Bachelor plops real-time hashtags onto the screen, while even the classier shows can't resist catnip like #madmen — and now "Wedding Hashtag Season" is, apparently, a thing. One couple named its baby "Hashtag."
True, hashtags can still have merit, for causes both grand (#StandWithWendy) and meme-y (#FirstWorldProblems), and they have their defenders. Still, we're more likely now to see the cyber-litter of #fun #hot #ThrowbackThursday #lol #ironichashtag, particularly in the summer, in the orgy of hashtags for both #weddings (Exhibits A, B, C) and #heat (D, E, F). And, so, the hashtag has moved from its Baroque to Rococo period, full of self-referential love and loathing, and, at times, buckling under its own meta-weight. But we don't have to live like this. The problem isn't the hashtag itself, the problem is hashtag abuse. Let's end it. By my tally, there are seven different categories of hashtag abusers:
1. The Hashtag Stuffer
The most common form of hashtag abuse. The Stuffer is incapable of simply sharing a photo of his July Fourth fireworks; he festoons it with #firework #fireworks #july4th #July4 #pretty #boom! #red #white #blue #1776bitches! (Not an exaggeration. A quick search of #fireworks took me here.) Sometimes #he hashtags random #words in sentences.
There are three potential reasons for this butchering of our language: 1) A failure to grasp the hashtag; 2) A failure to grasp humanity; and, most often, 3) A misguided attempt to "amplify your audience." Yes, theoretically, and when used judiciously, a hashtag can showcase your #SCOTUS zinger to thousands of new eyeballs. But as Daniel Victor, a social-media editor for the Times, suggests after crunching the numbers, we're likely to get lost in the ocean of hashtags. "#SuperBowl was used 3 million times over about five hours… Look at all those people who might be interested in our jokes about Beyonce!" writes Victor. "And yet getting any single person's attention is just short of impossible, like a single Niagara droplet screaming for notice as it shoots down the falls."
2. The Verbal Hashtagger
Someone who actually says the word "hashtag" in conversation. Exhibit A: Kasey, the Bachelorette contestant, who charms women with phrases — spoken out loud! — like "hashtag marriage material" and "hashtag let the journey begin." If a Verbal Hashtagger is hiking Machu Picchu, say, he might observe the ancient ruins, feel overwhelmed with emotion, and say, "Hashtag…. breathtaking." These are often the same people who say "LOL" or "OMG." As someone posted in the Facebook group HashtagsSuck, "In a meeting today, a co-worker stuck two fingers in the air. He proceeded to move them left to right, then up and down, drawing a hashtag in the air, saying, 'hashtag-that just happened.'" Recommended response to this behavior: Unfollow them IRL.
3. #TheHashtagStringer
They think it's cute to string together #Abunchofwordslikethis. And it is sort of fun and clever, at least the first 157 times you see it. The joke is stale, the fun is over, let's give the stringer a rest. (#OhWhoAmIKidding.)
4. The Gratuitous Event Hashtagger
Long a staple of social-media insiders at events like "tweet-ups" (#gag), the Event Hashtag is oozing into the mainstream. Take my friend Jane, a film producer, who celebrated a friend's birthday on a party bus that included a disco light and stripper pole. After a round of champagne, the organizer shushed the crowd to say, "The hashtag for today will be #Happy30SarahWonderland." Someone asked, "Wait, is that '30,' or 'thirty' spelled out?"
You no longer go to the beach, now you go to the #beach, where we're more likely to play with our phones than play in the waves. If you're grilling burgers and dogs? Step one is to pour the charcoal, step two is to hashtag #bbq. It's only a matter of time before, on Sunday mornings, the pious whip out their phones while at #church.
Is this the future? While they can be a hyper-efficient way to cull photos and connect with strangers, hashtags can have the opposite effect on friends. (Just one more extension, of course, of a much broader and well-canvassed trend.) Hashtagging the experience changes the actual experience. (#HeisenbergUncertaintyPrinciple.) Earlier this year, at an Oscar party in Williamsburg, I looked around the room and realized that everyone was typing on their phones. We had glommed onto the hashtag #Oscars and scrambled to both consume and create. At one point, I tweeted something and was then retweeted by the guy sitting next to me — all without a single spoken word. #SelfDisgust. (Yes, this is a problem with Twitter in general, but hashtags have given it rocket fuel.) If this is the direction of "social media," I pity our children and their children, who will spend their time in Google Bubble, using hashtags to play on the #swingset with their virtual BFFs.
5. The Hack-tagger
Created by a company, brand, or political organization after a marketing whiz-kid who just read an article on Mashable about "memes" hatches a plan to "leverage new media," and "go viral." The classic example is McDonald's, who used #McDStories to ask for heartwarming stories about the golden arches. The result? A gleeful backlash of tweets like "Ate a McFish and vomited 1 hour later .... #McDstories."
6. The Hash-swagger
Someone who uses a hashtag as a label, flaunting their red-velvety-rope event. The current poster child is #mistermansion, the hashtag coined by a cadre of publicist/fashion/editor-types to score swag for their Fire Island share. But the Hash-swag is usually less explicit. It's often subconscious. You see it during South by Southwest, when thousands of Brooklynites flock to Austin and punctuate each tweet with #sxsw, letting us know that they're on the scene. See also: #coachella, #fashionweek, #sundance. (Note: The Hash-swag is also known as the Humblebrag-tag, or, simply, #HumbleTag.)
7. The Hashtag as Crutch
The most subtle and, arguably, the most sneakily damaging abuse of hashtags. We use them as a crutch. The problem is that the hashtag, when used artfully, is so damn useful for clarifying tone, injecting subtext, or playfully rejiggering text. As Julia Turner writes, "[T]he hashtag gives the writer the opportunity to comment on his own emotional state, to sarcastically undercut his own tweet, to construct an extra layer of irony, to offer a flash of evocative imagery or to deliver metaphors with striking economy."
She's right. So, a confession: I use them all the time. In texts. In emails. In Facebook comments. One friend, when including a hashtag in a text, acknowledged the absurdity with the second hashtag, #hashtagsintexts. (#Meta.)
But is this too much of a cheat? A gimmick that stops us from going deeper, thinking harder, or expressing ourselves more fully and clearly? I'm thrilled that past generations were forced to communicate without hashtags, otherwise we might have grown up reading:
O Romeo, Romeo, Wherefore art thou Romeo? #horny
It was the best of times. #AndWorstofTimes
Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. #Jailbait
"Luke… I am your father. #SpoilerAlert."
Jeff Wilser is the co-author of the (just released) It's Okay to Sleep with Him on the First Date: And Every Other Rule of Dating, Debunked. He uses hashtags in Twitter at @jeffwilser.

Relational Terminology
Normalization A method where data items are grouped together to better accommodate business changes Provides a method for representing data and relationships precisely in tabular format that makes the database efficient (redundancy kept to a minimum)
Normalization begins after analysis of system needs Normalization requires identification of entities, attributes and relationships
Advantages of Normalization Direct translation from logical to physical design in RDMS Reduced Data Redundancy Protection against update and delete anomalies Ability to add or delete entities, attributes and relations without wholesale restructuring of tables
Advantages (contd) Smaller tables Tables with fewer columns(fields) and therefore shorter rows(records), allowing more rows of data being used per I/O (input/output) operation making the database very efficient
1NF Repeating Groups Not Allowed Unnormalized –Employee –SSN –Name –Dept Code –Dept Name –Dept Location –Skill Code –Skill –Skill Name –Skill Level Normalized Employee(p) –SSN –Name –Dept Code –Dept Name SSN(p) –Skill Code –Skill Name –Skill Level
2NF Separate relations are required for any attributes that depend on only part of a composite key
2NF Second Normal Form Violated –SSN –Skill Code –Skill –Skill Name –Skill Level Second Normal Form Achieved –SSN(p) –Skill Code(p) –Skill Level –Skill Code(p) –Skill Name
3NF Non key attributes should not contain facts about another nonkey attribute in the relation
3NF Third Normal Form Violated –SSN –Employee Name –Department Code –Department Name –Department Location Third Normal Form Achieved –SSN(p) –Employee Name –Department Code –Department Code(p) –Department Name –Department Location
3NF Each Attribute is a fact about the key, the whole key and nothing but the key
3NF Experienced Database Architects will move directly to 3rd Normal Form. Fourth and Fifth Normal Forms are rarely used. Normalization results in one Table, or Relation for each entity with attributes shown as columns(fields) and each occurrence as a row(record).
Summary Produces database designs that offer efficient performance Minimizes chances for data inconsistency In some cases performance advantages may be gained by violating normalization - Denormalization must be done with great care and caution
Referential Integrity Every foreign key value must have a corresponding primary key value Enforcement optional
Relational Model Data Stored & Retrieved As Tables SQL Statement –SELECT NAME, PAYGRADE –FROM EMPLOYEE –WHERE DEPT = FIN001 –AND SALARY >50000
Relational Model Data Stored & Retrieved As Tables SQL Statement with two tables joined –SELECT NAME, GRADE, DEPT –FROM EMPLOYEE, PROJECT –WHERE AGE>40 –AND EMPLOYEE.LABOR_CODE = PROJECT.LABOR_CODE
Guidelines For Development of Unique Identifiers(keys) Must be unique Must be mandatory Values must never change Values must be factless Must be controllable Must be usable
