|Re: drop column functionality
|Mon, 21 Aug 2006 17:07:13 GMT
> 1. Dropping the column seems very slow for large tables. This is good to know. I don't think anybody has really experimented with this yet. Can you quantify "very slow" with some real measurements you've taken? Do you think it would be reasonable to treat this as a follow-on improvement to the DERBY-1489 changes, or do you feel that the performance is so bad that DERBY-1489 is unusable as is? I guess my assumption was that DROP COLUMN usage in large database scenarios would be rare, and that it would be more common for people to want to use DROP COLUMN during their initial application development, when tables are typically smaller. But perhaps this is a bad assumption? If you think this would be reasonable to treat as a follow-on improvement, then please open a new JIRA issue for it, describe it as well as you can with the data you can provide, and link the new issue to DERBY-1489 so that we know they're related. > 2. I'm reluctant to use the SVN trunk in my application, preferring a > stable release. Are there any plans for when this patch will get into a > stable release. In general, I think the process is something like: - the community reviews the DERBY-1489 changes (that's underway now) - those changes get committed to the trunk - those changes could appear in future release branches, or could be back-ported to patch release of prior release branches. I think we typically would *not* back-port a new feature to a prior release branch, so the DERBY-1489 changes would probably next appear in a stable release in the next release after they are committed to the trunk. However, I believe there's nothing that prevents you from constructing this yourself. You can take the 10.1 source code, and apply the trunk patch for DROP COLUMN to it, and create your own version of Derby which is "10.1 with DROP COLUMN functionality". I believe that the DERBY-1489 changes can be successfully applied to the 10.1 source base without too much work. > 3. The version from trunk does not appear able to read databases created > with the 10.1.3.1 release. Has the database file syntax changed? I'm hoping one of the other developers can help with this question. I think that this is on purpose, to avoid accidentally mixing releases that may differ in major ways, but I think there is a configuration flag that you can set that will authorize the trunk code to open and read a previous-release database. Can anybody help us out here? How can Tim use some of his 10.1 databases in experimenting with a patched release built from the trunk? thanks, bryan

Julien Dupont knows a thing or two about riding motorbikes.
The French trials rider specialises in "freeriding", which is basically parkour for motorbikes. Give him a building, a staircase or even the Gateshead Millennium Bridge in Newcastle, UK (check out the video below) and Julien will find a way to ride over it.
But what happens when Julien, kind fellow that he is, tries to share his riding knowledge with those less fortunate – or rather those with less talent – than him? Bad things, that's what.
Julien decided to tutor a young, trials-riding hopeful recently, giving him full use of his Gas Gas 300 TXT competition bike. The results were…well, just watch the video above.

"Ah" Eternal gasps. She grips her stomach. Falcon's arms are around her instantly. She didn't realise he was that close.
"Are you okay? That's the second time today you've had stomach problems" Falcon's voice is worried.
He can't suspect so Eternal shakes her head. "I'm fine, perfectly fine" She straightens up wincing inside.
It hurts but she doesn't want him to know..... not yet. She can't tell him when he's lost all his family. Wont it be sort of.......... selfish.
To tell him he has a child.... that they are sort of a proper family now in its own right? That would maybe excite but hurt him. When they've rescued the others She'll tell him...... only then.
They reach a canyon. "Oh Oh" Life sings. They look at the thing and Eternal shift uncomfortable. Life cuddled Chocolate quietly.
"Right how are we going to get across this?" Falcon mutter.
The canyon is at least 30 metres wide and 200 deep and there is no bridge or crossing.
"Climb down and back up?" Life surggests.
"Hmm, whats down there though?" Eternal whispers. They all lean forward to look down into the dark depths of the canyon.
"Its like a split in the earth" Life whispers.

14:02 14th November 2009
Town have now scored 20 goals in their last four home games after smashing Wycombe Wanderers for six in front of the Sky cameras today.
Skipper Peter Clarke (pictured) scored a brace, with the others coming from Gary Roberts, Anthony Pilkington, Theo Robinson and an own goal in one of the best displays of attacking football in many years.
The Terriers started well and it looked like Novak had latched onto an early Rhodes flick to race through on goal, but the offside flag denied him the opportunity. Soon after Roberts met a great Pilkington cross at the far post, but defender Duberry made a vital interception.
At the other end, striker Matt Harrold nodded a Davies corner well wide of goal under heavy pressure in the 7th minute.
Pilkington looked in the mood - in the 11th minute he coasted past Bloomfield and Westwood on the right flank before delivering a pacey cross that 'keeper Young almost spilled into the path of Novak.
Wycombe survived a penalty claim a minute later when it looked like a defender handballed Kay's cross into the box, but referee Oliver immediately turned away the appeals.
Target-man Harrold then nodded a long-range free-kick straight into the hands of Smithies, which prompted a Town attack! The talented 'keeper immediately bowled the ball to Gary Roberts on halfway, who drove at the full-back down the left before entering the penalty area - he tried to pull the ball back to Novak, but defender Hunt made a vital interception.
Another Roberts cross then found the head of the onrushing Kay in the 18th minute, but he glanced the ball wide with two defenders in close attendance.
The away side's outlet appeared to be loanee John Akinde - at every opportunity the Wycombe players were looking to play the ball towards him. However, the two Clarkes were dealing well with the threat.
Former Leeds man Duberry blocked a Rhodes snapshot in the 21st minute.
GOAL - The Terriers then opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, with skipper Peter Clarke netting his third goal of the campaign. Town were awarded a free-kick on the right flank when Bloomfield was penalised for raising his boot too high to challenge Lee Peltier; up stepped Gary Roberts to whip in a tremendous free-kick that allowed the skipper to jump and power a header past the helpless Jamie Young.
It looked like Smithies had gained a valuable assist soon after - he collected a Wycombe corner and immediately launched a perfect ball downfield for winger Pilkington; in turn, he played a superb pass over the defence for the onrushing Collins to run clear. Michael rounded the 'keeper, but from a narrow angle his shot was cleared off the line by the recovering Kevin Betsy.
GOAL - Town extended their lead in the 28th minute with a brilliant team move ended by Gary Roberts. Smithies deserved credit again - his quick-thinking saw him distribute the ball to Collins to the left of the halfway line, who drove infield and threaded a through ball to right winger Pilkington; as he entered the area he glanced up before playing a square pass to his fellow winger, who tapped the ball home from close range for his fifth of the season.
Wycombe forced a couple of corners after the half-hour, but Town defended them stoutly - with one crunching challenge from striker Novak indicative of their commitment to the clean sheet.
Yet another throw from Smithies set Roberts away on the stroke of 36 minutes and the winger advanced before giving a simple square pass to Collins, but he couldn't keep his 30-yard volley down.
SUB - Wycombe were forced into a substitution in just the 38th minute - Akinde had picked up a knock in an earlier tackle with Peltier and had to be replaced by Jon-Paul Pittman.
Lee Clark's side thought they had extended their lead a minute later when Peter Clarke headed a Williams cross towards goal, but the 'keeper saved well. The ball was parried up in the air, and Lee Novak was booked for handball as he tried to turn the ball home.
Smithies made a great save in the final minute of added time from another Wycombe corner - with Harrold and Duberry in close attendance, he scooped the ball away from the far corner.
Rhodes then did well to hold the ball up in added time before slipping a reverse pass to strike partner Novak, but as he rounded the goalkeeper his shot was blocked by a recovering defender.
SUB - Town were forced into a half-time change - Novak had picked up a knock during the first half and was replaced by Theo Robinson.
Robbie Williams had the first shot of the second half - after Pilkington was tripped on the edge of the box, he stepped up and tried to make it three free-kick goals in a row. However, he sent his effort sailing over the bar.
GOAL - Town did make it three in the 49th minute when Anthony Pilkington scored his fifth of the season, A long ball out of defence was controlled well by substitute Robinson, who turned the ball into the path of Jordan Rhodes; he squared the ball to his left for Pilkington, who bent a superb curler into the far corner from 18 yards out.
The game settled down after the third goal, but Robinson had the ball in the net soon afterwards - latching onto a through-ball from Pilkington he rounded the goalkeeper and slotted home, but his effort was ruled out for offside.
A great cross-field ball from Kay found the feet of Roberts in the 58th minute, who played a cheeky back-heel into the path of the overlapping Peltier; his cross to the near post found the head of Collins, but 'keeper Young made himself big and managed to block the point-blank effort.
A clever 62nd minute corner routine then found the unmarked Williams at the back post, but his right-foot volley hit a defender en route to goal and went out for a corner.
GOAL - Town did make it four in the 64th minute when skipper Peter Clarke netted his second goal of the game. Another corner from the right, taken by Anthony Pilkington, found the head of the Captain; the ball was cleared off the line by a defender, but fell back to Peter who gleefully smashed the ball in at full stretch.
Roberts pulled a shot wide of goal a minute later as the Terriers continued to dominate, but Smithies had to deal with a weak shot from winger Betsy in the 67th minute.
A great counter-attack in the 70th minute should have lead to a fifth goal for the Terriers - Pilkington robbed a Wycombe player of the ball on the edge of the Town box before racing into the opposition half. A great cross-field pass found Rhodes, who crossed to the back post. Robinson charged in unmarked, but volleyed the ball wide of the far post.
Robinson's electric pace presented him with another chance in the 75th minute - he easily outpaced Duberry onto a ball over the top from Kay and rounded the 'keeper, but a defender got back to block his effort; the rebound fell to the striker, but he smashed a volley into the Fantastic Media Stand with the goal gaping.
Roberts then nicked the ball from defender Johnson in the Wycombe half a minute later, but his cross was blocked before it could reach Theo in the area.
BOOKING - Robbie Williams was shown his first yellow card of the season in the 77th minute after a tug on the shirt of Scott Davies.
Theo then cleverly hid behind the Wycombe 'keeper, who dropped the ball to kick it out, but after snatching possession he tried to round the custodian, who smothered the ball at his feet.
GOAL - The lead was extended to five in the 82nd minute when former Leeds man Michael Duberry scored an unfortunate own goal. Another Town break down the right saw Roberts get free of the full-back and cross towards Robinson, only for the defender to turn the ball into his own net at close range
GOAL - Town immediately stole the ball from Wycombe's centre and went on the attack, with Rhodes slipping a great pass into the area for Robbo. The winger was upended as he latched onto the pass, which allowed substitute Theo Robinson to step up and send the goalkeeper the wrong way from twelve yards.
Jordan Rhodes was denied a certain goal by a superb Johnson tackle in second-half added time as Town finished in style.

Alex Smithies; Robbie Williams, Peter Clarke, Nathan Clarke, Lee Peltier; Gary Roberts, Michael Collins, Antony Kay, Anthony Pilkington; Lee Novak (Theo Robinson 46), Jordan Rhodes

More providers in Knoxville are offering CoolSculpting, a non-surgical fat reduction procedure based on freezing fat cells, also known in "medicalese" as cryolipolysis. It's been almost two years since we we were the first practice to bring CoolSculpting to Knoxville. After seeing the patient results at the meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and talking to our colleagues in other cities who had the technology, we couldn't wait to bring it to town. Our CoolSculpting patient reviews reaffirm the decision to be the first in Knoxville to have it. With cool technology like this, it's no surprise that other practices have started performing CoolSculpting in their offices as well. To quote Dr. Reath, "If it really works, sooner or later everyone is going to have it." So how do you know which is the best practice for you to have your CoolSculpting treatment? Here are some things to consider:
We have the experience and training to achieve the best possible results. Becoming CoolSculpting Certified is an extensive process of physician and staff training, quality assurance monitoring and validation by the maker of CoolSculpting. We are the first and only practice in Knoxville that is CoolSculpting Certified. Experience and training matter in this arena. Even though it is a non-surgical procedure, CoolSculpting is very technique-driven. There is a real learning curve before a provider really understands how to get the best results when treating patients. Not only has our office performed the most CoolSculpting treatments in Knoxville, but Dr. Reath also flew our CoolSculpting Technician, Natasha Self, to Dallas and Montreal to train for days with the top CoolSculpting practices in the US and Canada. Natasha is the only CoolSculpting provider in Knoxville to attend the advanced CoolSculpting University in San Francisco. You will benefit from their added experience and all the best practices she learned from the experts.
Lori Tucker from WATE News followed one of our patients during her recent CoolSculpting procedure. If you're thinking about CoolSculpting, you'll want to watch this.
The CoolSculpting before and after photos on this website are actually our patients. We have before and after pictures of our own Knoxville patients to paint the most accurate picture of the results you can expect. CoolSculpting has a collection of stock before and after photos for practices to use which demonstrate the technical capabilities of the machine– but those pictures don't tell you anything about the results you can expect from any individual practice. Make sure you have the right expectations with the most accurate information available. Browse our photos on any of the following links:
We have two CoolSculpting machines to save you hours. CoolSculpting procedures take an hour and can be done over a lunch break. Pretty quick, right? But, if you want to treat both sides of your hips or both bra lines and your doctor only has one machine, you'll be there for at least an extra hour (no longer in lunch break territory). That's why we brought in two machines, instead of just one. It saves so much time, they even have a name for it….DualSculpting. Don't spend the extra hour– treat both sides at the same time with two machines. All you have to do is sit back, enjoy the dim lighting, music and free wireless.
CoolSculpting frequently invents new applicators which are designed for different areas of the body. The applicators are quite expensive so many practices try to get by with what they have. We are the only office in Knoxville to have the new FDA-cleared applicator designed specifically for the outer thighs, and we have two of them so you can treat both thighs at the same time. Dr. Reath and CoolSculpting Technician Natasha Self talk about this exciting new development.
Our price is right. As a CoolSculpting Premier Crystal practice, we get the best prices on CoolSculpting cards to run our machines. Even better? We pass these savings on to our patients. You'll find that our treatments are right in line with other practices in town, and for more than one treatment, substantially less.
Coolsculpting is priced per area. The abdomen is considered one area and both flanks (hip rolls, inners thighs, love handles etc.) another single area. Since each area takes about an hour to treat, you'll want to decide how many areas you want treated before you come in for your appointment.
If you want two or more areas treated or one area treated more than once, it's difficult to tell you exactly what it will cost before seeing you. Your best bet is to come in for a free consultation and we will work out a CoolSculpting plan that meets your individual goals.
To give you a general idea, this is the price range, with the lowest price being just one treatment on a single area.
|CoolSculpting Price Range
|$1475 – $5,000
We have other options if you are not a candidate for CoolSculpting. We are big fans of the CoolSculpting procedure, but are also the first to tell you that it is not for everyone. For patients with loose skin, removing underlying fat can actually make things look worse, not better. Does your provider really understand everything that can be done to treat your area of concern? The answer: probably not if you are at a dermatologist or a medi-spa. After all, as Dr. Reath is fond of saying, "When all you have is a hammer, the whole world is a nail." As a plastic surgeon's office, we understand that CoolSculpting is just one tool in a body contouring toolbox, not the only option. If you're not a good candidate for the procedure, we won't do it. Instead, we'll direct you towards something that will give you the results you want, so that you can make an informed decision about what's right for you.
Choosing between CoolSculpting, Liposuction, or a Tummy Tuck?
We are so lucky to have found Natasha. She has been working in our office for three years, but every day we wonder how we ever managed without her. Quietly effective and totally charming, Natasha takes care of all of our CoolSculpting patients and is completely in charge of managing Dr. Reath's busy surgical calendar. Her expertise has been honed by over 13 years in the healthcare industry, so she doesn't scare easily.
Experience and training matter in this arena. Even though it is a non-surgical procedure, CoolSculpting is very technique-driven. There is a real learning curve before a provider really understands how to get the best results when treating patients. Not only has Natasha performed the most CoolSculpting treatments in Knoxville, but Dr. Reath also flew Natasha to Dallas and Montreal to train for days with the top CoolSculpting practices in the US and Canada. Natasha is the only CoolSculpting provider in Knoxville to attend the advanced CoolSculpting University in San Francisco. You will benefit from her added experience and all the best practices she learned from the experts.
"I've always been such a people person, and helping both patients and Dr. Reath has been very fulfilling. Our patients' excitement after they see the amazing results from their CoolSculpting treatments makes me excited too. It's definitely one of the best parts of my job!"
From the BlogWhen you're wanting to make a change, it can be confusing to figure out which body contouring procedure is right for you. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical way of reducing fat that is very effective, but as this infographic illustrates, it is not for everyone. Beware of clinics with only one procedure to offer.

A plane ride has always been a good opportunity to catch up on work, watch a movie, or just relax. Now a new service from The Boeing Company could make airplanes more like your home office. The company has officially announced pricing for Connexion by Boeing, high-speed Internet access that will let flyers surf the Internet while traveling on commercial jets. The service will let passengers connect wirelessly to the Internet to check email, surf Web sites, and even connect to corporate networks. Connexion by Boeing will offer both flat-rate and metered pricing. Flat-rate unlimited use will cost $29.95 for flights longer than 6 hours, $19.95 for flights lasting 3 to 6 hours, and $14.95 for flights less than 3 hours long. The metered option will cost $9.95 for the first 30 minutes, plus 25 cents for each additional minute. If the flight is less than 3 hours long, the price drops to $7.95 for the first half hour, plus 25 cents for each additional minute. Expect to see the service debut by the end of April on selected Lufthansa flights. All Nippon Airways (ANA), Japan Airlines (JAL), and Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) are expected to launch the service later this year. We hope that more airlines get onboard with Connexion by Boeing; the service sounds like a great idea

The truth be known, it will operate at a different frequencyy. It makes perfect sence to do it. The true joke is not being able to use radio, cd players or other NON sending devices
^^^ roger that terry. if someone makes money, of course it's safe!!!!
This sounds excellent but if using mobile phones is so dangerous onboard airliners, how can wireless networking be safe enough? Maybe it will be safe as long as the carriers can make a profit from it.

The dried dragonfruit has the texture of crunchy sesame seeds (but not the taste). Personally, I like it. It's very light, not tart and not too sweet. Hard to describe if you have not tried fresh dragonfruit before. A little on the expensive side though.

Lincoln: A Life of Purpose and Powerby Richard Carwardine
As a defender of national unity, a leader in war, and the emancipator of slaves, Abraham Lincoln lays ample claim to being the greatest of our presidents. But the story of his rise to greatness is as complex as it is compelling. In this superb, prize-winning biography, acclaimed historian Richard Carwardine examines Lincoln's dramatic political journey, from his early years in the Illinois legislature to his nation-shaping years in the White House. Here, Carwardine combines a new perspective with a compelling narrative to deliver a fresh look at one of the pillars of American politics. He probes the sources of Lincoln's moral and political philosophy and uses his groundbreaking research to cut through the myth and expose the man behind it.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
Editorial Reviews
—Kevin Baker, The New York Times
"One closes this biography wondering how postbellum politics might have been different were it not for that fateful gunshot on April 14, 1865. Carwardine's Lincoln Prize-winning study is not only analytical and smart, it's also delightfully readable — and it will surely emerge as one of the most important Lincoln books to be published this decade."
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Lincoln: A Life of Purpose and Power stands up to any comparison. Carwardine's confident writing and exemplary scholarship come together well in this faceted, evenhanded treatment of the 16th president. . . Carwardine wisely reinterprets many sources to present his nuanced overview of the moral man who was Abraham Lincoln."
—Kimberly Marlowe Hartnett, The Oregonian
"Among the most thoughtful of the many [books] that have been pouring out in anticipation of the Lincoln bicentennial now three years away."
—T.C. Johnsen, The Christian Science Monitor
"This is the biography of a prudent, decisive, activist Lincoln the world has been waiting for. Richard Carwardine has drawn a true portrait of the strengths of Lincoln's personal character, the development and tenacity of Lincoln's ethical convictions, his subtle and deliberate political acumen, his respect and embrace of moral principles for the conduct of personal relations and public statecraft; and, finally, Carwardine demonstrates Lincoln's mastery of men and of public opinion."
—Lewis E. Lehrman, Co-Chairman of the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History
"The book offers an insightful, judicious, and, in some ways, original study of Lincoln's public career."
—Eric Foner, London Review of Books
"Rarely does a biography of a popular historical figure offer all the qualities that make for a good read: lively writing, a fresh perspective, significant insight, and a compelling narrative. Carwardine does all this and more. How Lincoln obtained, used, and often withheld power to achieve base political objectives as well as enlightened national ones are brilliantly detailed. There is simply no other Lincoln biography like it."
—Tom Schwartz, Lincoln Presidential Library
"Richard Carwardine has given us a thoughtful examination of Lincoln's profoundly moral relationship to power and of the Great Emancipator's role as a representative American of his age. The publication of this beautifully written book, which makes use of the earliest evidence and the latest insights, marks a high point in a decade that has been particularly rich in Lincoln scholarship. No one seriously interested in Lincoln can afford to ignore Carwardine's judicious work."
—Daniel Walker Howe
"As commander in chief in a war for the very survival of the United States, Abraham Lincoln wielded enormous power, which he infused with unequaled moral purpose and religious clarity. Richard Carwardine explains the wellsprings of these extraordinary qualities of Lincoln's leadership better than any other biographer."
—James M. McPherson
"Carwardine succeeds brilliantly in comprehending both the pragmatic and moral dimensions of Lincoln the political leader. No other historian has penetrated so incisively and handled so deftly Lincoln as practical politician and Lincoln as moralist."
—William J. Cooper
"Carwardine's astute blending of information and interpretation affords a rare result — the sense of an accurate perspective. It is like having the best seat in the house."
—Douglas L. Wilson, Lincoln Studies Center
"Richard Carwardine's long suit is his skill in situating Abraham Lincoln in Lincoln's various political, social and religious contexts during the Civil War. Carwardine's Lincoln is the most perceptive and powerfully-written biography of Lincoln by an English historian since Lord Charnwood."
—Allen C. Guelzo, Henry R. Luce Professor of the Civil War Era & Director, Civil War Era Studies at Gettysburg College
"In the very crowded shelves containing books about Abraham Lincoln, Professor Carwardine has added a superbly conceived and crafted study, filled with fresh perspectives that add a great deal to our understanding of the sixteenth president. It is a great achievement."
—Joel H. Silbey, Cornell University
"The Atlantic can serve as a wonderful clarifying prism. Oxford don Richard Carwardine looks across it and paints a remarkable picture of the greatest of the Americans who fused the secular and the sacred."
—Gabor S. Boritt, Director, Civil War Institute, Gettysburg College
"Richard Carwardine's study of the political leadership of Abraham Lincoln represents an extraordinary achievement."
—Mark A. Noll, Professor of History, Wheaton College, IL
"The best book on Lincoln to appear in many years . . . by a true expert in the politics and history of the antebellum and Civil War eras."
—David Hein, Professor and Chair of Religion and Philosophy, Hood College

LincolnA Life of Purpose and Power
By Richard Carwardine
VintageCopyright © 2007 Richard Carwardine
All right reserved.
Abraham Lincoln understood the value of a well-judged disclaimer, so it may be as well to begin by stating what this book does not purport to be. It is not a personal biography of the sixteenth president of the United States. Rather, it is a study of Lincoln's political career, one which explores the sources and characteristics of his political authority, both before and after he won national recognition.
To study Lincoln involves peering through a veil of myth and iconography. Any president who successfully steers a nation through a civil war can expect to be decked with the victor's laurels, but in Lincoln's case garlands for the Union's Savior and Great Emancipator have been interwoven with
wreaths for its First Martyr. The nature and timing of Lincoln's death, personal and public tragedy though it was, proved perfect for his historical canonization. Legions of Lincoln scholars have recognized this, of course, and have tussled to reveal the enigmatic human being and unvarnished politician encased within the marble figure of national memory. After all, the Union's war president was scarcely a revered national hero at the time: even the loyal press-impatient, anxious, and occasionally despairing-often questioned his wisdomand suitability for the job. Yet Lincoln still emerges, in so much that is written about him and the wartime Union, as a wholly-even unaccountably-exceptional figure. The remedy does not lie in gratuitous debunking: Lincoln was indeed a talented politician who rose beyond expectation to the supreme challenge of his office. But the key to understanding his rise to power and his achievement as president is to place him firmly into the setting in which he operated and to recognize the external sources of his authority, as much as his own endowments. In mid-nineteenth-century America, the world's first mass participatory democracy, political success derived from the effective interplay of three elements: personal drive, the force of public opinion, and the organizing machinery of the political party and other networks of communication. During Lincoln's career as a peacetime politician and then as the only United States president to face the challenge of a civil war, his great achievement was to set ambitious but realizable political goals; to fathom the thinking of ordinary citizens and to reach out to them with uncommon assurance; and to hone his impressive skills as a manager of the often unstable and fractious elements that made up the political parties to which he belonged. In what follows I have given particular emphasis to each of these elements, but within a largely narrative framework which recognizes that Lincoln's words and actions, and those for whom they were intended, need to be understood within specific and changing contexts.
It seemed to many who watched Lincoln at first hand in Illinois and Washington that his special talent lay in his feel for opinion and in establishing rapport with the public at large. One young Springfield lawyer,
convinced that Lincoln was privately "a radical-fanatically so," deemed that his strength lay in his never going "beyond the People." For George Baker, a clerk in the State Department, the president's success "consisted very much in the confidence and respect he won from the people. Other wiser, greater and as good men might not have won this and then all would have been lost in some of our great crises." But public opinion in Illinois and the wider Union comprised many ideological and cultural strands.
Understanding "the people" meant comprehending pluralism. A common theme in what historians have written about Lincoln is the skill with which he made himself attractive, or at least indispensable, to a broad range of conservative, moderate, and radical elements within-successively-the Whig party, the antebellum Republican coalition, and the wartime Union. Less well appreciated is his remarkable success in reaching out to what was the most powerful of all the era's subcultures, evangelical Protestantism. Mainstream evangelicals did much to shape the style, substance, and rhetoric of the mass participatory politics that reached their maturity in America at about the same time that Lincoln arrived at his. In antebellum Illinois, as elsewhere, the political fault lines commonly coincided with
religious and ethnic ones. Alert to the power of religious opinion, Lincoln used appeals to Protestant millennialism and Enlightenment rationalism. The orthodox Protestantism which underpinned the ethical stance of Republicans and much of the wartime Union coalition, and which flourished in New England and its "Yankee" diaspora, was not Lincoln's religious faith. But he shrewdly harnessed the power of the most politically influential and energetic members of that constituency, both to win the presidency and to rally support behind his national vision and the war's purposes.
Half of this study addresses Lincoln's pre-presidential career. The first chapter explores the roots of Lincoln's political ambition, examining his early life, the sources of his ideas, his alienation from the land, his seizing of the opportunities offered by the emerging market economy, and his evolution by 1840 into a leading Illinois Whig. His effectiveness in state politics and his election to the United States Congress, where he served from 1847 to 1849, signaled his political ability, but only hinted at the more serious and morally engaged figure that reentered politics in 1854 after the repeal of the Missouri Compromise opened the door to slavery's westward expansion into Kansas-Nebraska. Establishing the philosophical sources of that moral engagement demands a discussion of Lincoln's evolving religious views.
Chapter 2 examines how during the mid-1850s Lincoln became a chief beneficiary of the swirling public opinion that, acting as the arbiter of political power, destabilized the old parties and opened the door to realignment. Through several seasons of public speaking Lincoln's steady advocacy of an antislavery argument did much to shape public sentiment and to effect the displacement of the Whigs by a broader-based Republican party that aspired to national power. Within the mix of ideological, ethnic, and religious loyalties amongst Illinois voters, Yankee influence came to preponderate through the decade. In his debates in 1858 with his great rival, United States Senator Stephen A. Douglas, Lincoln earnestly sought to harness antislavery religious sensibilities not only in the Yankeedominated settlements but as widely as possible across the state, and showed his grasp of the dynamics of the emergent mass democracy that made America politically unique.
Two years after Lincoln's narrow defeat at Douglas's hands, the power of a crusading party unlocked the door of the presidency. In the interplay of the elements shaping Lincoln's antebellum career, it was the operations of party which did most to bring about his remarkable political ascent in 1860. Chapter 3 shows how his winning the presidential nomination demanded the confidence of a Republican organization whose national leadership had several other names from which to choose. Once Lincoln had been selected, his reaching office was almost completely dependent upon his party's exertions. Party organizations were essential to effective campaign- ing, their controls over patronage providing the necessary levers of discipline and unity. The chapter examines the posture of a party that was an institutional and philosophical amalgam. Economic interest and bitter anti-southern feeling were important elements of the Republican mix. Equally important, the party was an expression of the reform-minded, optimistic Protestant evangelicalism unleashed by the religious movement known as the Second Great Awakening. Lincoln's candidacy served its purposes well, for in his blend of constitutional conservativism and highminded, even Yankee-style moralism, they had a champion behind whom both pragmatic coalition-builders and high-minded crusaders could enthusiastically rally.
The fourth chapter examines Lincoln's response to the challenge of exercising influence and power during the year or so between his election and early 1862. During the three phases of this period-as president-elect, as president during the uneasy peace before Sumter, and as a war leader- Lincoln showed those signs of anxiety and uncertainty only to be expected in someone lacking executive experience and facing a uniquely daunting challenge. Still, what gave coherence and continuity to his political course throughout this momentous year were three elements essential to the Union's victory and his own political survival. First, he kept an undeviating focus on the permanence of the Union. Second, he instinctively understood the strategic essentials: limiting secession and maximizing support in the border region; blockading the South; and preventing the internationalizing of the conflict. Third, he engaged with and nourished a cross-party, broad-based popular patriotism.
Chapter 5 concerns Lincoln's political purposes and their evolution from restoring the prewar Union to embracing emancipation. Lincoln's assault on slavery was born of pragmatism and sustained by his evolving ideas of divine as well as human purposes. He defended emancipation as an essential means of preserving the Union and mortally wounding the Confederacy. But it became an end in itself, something without which the Union was scarcely worth saving and toward which God's own plan
appeared to be driving him. Emancipation raised unavoidable questions about the place of the ex-slave and African-American in the nation's life, issues on which Lincoln and the more radical Republicans found themselves at odds as they fashioned their policies on the reconstruction of the Union. By the end of his life Lincoln was contemplating votes for educated freedmen; he had traveled a long way from the defense of the racial status quo that he had mounted as an antebellum aspirant for political office.
The instruments of Lincoln's presidential power provide the focus of chapter 6.Much of that authority derived from a strong-arm use of the law and the military: charges of coercion and dictatorship were not without some foundation in fact. But Lincoln's achievement in holding the Union together and in enjoying the unique experience of being reelected president during a bloody civil war derived less from coercion than from his ability to harness the surges of Union patriotism that flowed through three essentially "voluntary" organizations: his party, the Union army, and the religious-philanthropic bodies of the North. Republican/Union party leaders, most notably the state governors and the editorial corps, mobilized
massive and sustained support for the war; the army, whatever loyalty it had once felt for General-in-Chief George McClellan, evinced even more for "Father Abraham"; organized Protestantism provided the president with a ready-made and devoted network of speakers and fund-raisers. The
outcome of the 1864 presidential election plainly revealed Lincoln's success in nurturing and sustaining Unionism in each of these domains.
Active in life, Lincoln passively exerted further power in death, as his transformation into a Christ-like martyr, slain on Good Friday, gave a new layer of sanctification to American nationalism. As they mourned his assassination, Americans read into their bereavement a millennial promise that fused the sacred all the more powerfully with the secular. The book's conclusion notes how the nationhood preserved by Unionists through the Civil War now yielded an enhanced and ambitious patriotism quite unlike any that the country had known before.
Many elements of the inner Lincoln, including his personal faith and key questions about his motivation and evolving political ambitions, necessarily remain a puzzle. Lincoln wrote with arresting precision and clarity, but he kept no diary or private journal. Only reluctantly did he proffer a few, spare autobiographical sketches. Though he was an indefatigable conversationalist, could be excellent company, and dominated gatherings through his storytelling, even his near friends encountered reticence and secrecy, and most judged that he "never told all he felt." Discretion in politically sensitive matters, including racial issues, marked his handling of men and measures. Norman Judd, one of his closest associates, stated bluntly, "Lincoln never told mortal man his purposes- Never." We are left reflecting that the Great Emancipator's enduring hold over the historical imagination may owe almost as much to his enigmatic features as to the reality of his achievements and to his tragic end.
Even so, questions about Lincoln's private political reflections, moral convictions, and religious understanding must be addressed, particularly if it is true-as some scholars have convincingly argued-that he took ideas seriously: Lincoln had a pragmatic streak but he by no means lacked philosophical moorings. Some answers to hard questions can be gleaned from the galaxy of firsthand recollections left by family, friends, professional associates, and acquaintances. In recent years reprinted memoirs-variable in reliability and usefulness, and including at least one grotesque fabrication- have cascaded from the presses. A cluster of works marked by superb editorial scholarship deserve particular note: Douglas L.Wilson and Rodney O. Davis's fine edition of the reminiscences accumulated by Lincoln's
law partner, William Herndon; Michael Burlingame's several volumes of materials written or prompted by the president's personal secretaries; and Don and Virginia Fehrenbacher's comprehensive collection of Lincoln's attributed remarks. These works, together with the magnificent electronic edition of the Lincoln Papers in progress at the Library of Congress and the equally impressive documentary collection of the Lincoln Legal Papers, show that however much historical writing remains an individual effort it inevitably depends on the assembled efforts of many others.
I am grateful to the University of Illinois Press and the editor of the Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Association for granting permission to reprint material from "Lincoln, Evangelical Religion, and American Political Culture in the Era of the Civil War" (vol. 18: Winter 1997). I am pleased to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of grants from the University of Sheffield Research Fund and of a research leave award from the Humanities Research Board of the British Academy. I also extend my sincere thanks to those whose personal kindness and scholarly assistance have helped bring this book to completion. Thomas F. Schwartz, as secretary of the Abraham Lincoln Association and as state historian of Illinois, did much at a critical stage to boost the confidence of a fledgling Lincolnian. I am grateful to him and Cathy Schwartz for their generosity. William E. Gienapp's superlative work on the early Republican party and long years offriendship have been an inspiration. Kim Bauer, Cheryl Pence, and Cheryl Schnirring at the Illinois State Historical Library archives, David Himrod at the Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary Library in Evanston, and the staff of the Chicago Historical Society could not have been more helpful. Mark A.Noll, Constance Rajala, Hope and Bill Rajala, and William R. Sutton in various important respects eased my visits to Illinois. Nigel Williamson assisted in all sorts of ways with information technology. Sally Wiseman was an impeccable research assistant. I owe special thanks to Robert Cook, Patrick Renshaw, Adam Smith, and Linda Kirk for giving the text a close reading and for their thoughtful suggestions and criticisms. Peter Parish, friend and guide, would have read it, too, had not his untimely death removed him from the cluster of British nineteenth- century American historians which he led with such distinction. The book is dedicated to his memory, and to that of two historians from whom I first learned that there could be life in the past. Finally, I must thank Keith Robbins, not only for asking me to write this book, but for waiting so longand so uncomplainingly for me to complete it.

In my opinion, this book is poorly written and the narration has such changes in volume that it is hard to follow. Overall, I would rate this very Poor.
I found this book to be very boring and unreadable. After forcing myself through 160 pages, I had to put it away. For a biography, there seemed to be more information about everything else during the time period than Lincoln himself.
Though there is a powerful glance at Lincoln¿s Illinois legislative days, this is an incredible insightful look at Lincoln during the election of 1860 and his subsequent years in the White House. The deep discerning background into the various splinter groups competing in 1860 is fully laid out so that the reader understands how divided the nation truly was not just a simple north-south split over slavery. The relatively new Republican Party for instance became the host of an open tent philosophy with many varying opinions. Interestingly, Lincoln was a strong advocate of moralistic (much of that religious in nature) constitutional conservatism, which cut across the vast spectrum of key groups that made up his political party. Also intriguing is the evolution of Lincoln on the slavery issue. Richard Carwardine provides an excellent biography of the White House years of a man considered by most historians as the best or second best president of the United States while leaving a lingering feeling today that we are all Americans who get ahead through merit and are not specific state citizens. This is biography at its best. --- Harriet Klausner

assigning data using different views
It's often the case that you need more than one view on the same set of data. In this example each member of staff has a number of venues that they can work at. When you add new member of staff you simply have to select which venues they can get to.
However, if you add a new venue, going through every staff record to apply the new option would be very time consuming. What you need to be able to do is assign the staff to the new venue in one step. This database allows you to do just that.
There are loads of examples of these kinds of relationships. Often you need to be able to look things from different standpoints to be able to effectively manage them.

Bare foot lawn bowls is also available free of charge most of the time.

The rating assumes 30 per cent earnings growth in the next five years. That's a long way ahead to be forecasting, so what's the evidence it can deliver? The market is huge. Analysts estimate UK outsourcing, worth pounds 950m, could grow to pounds 7.1bn. New business helped Capita deliver a 34 per cent hike in interim operating profits.
Capita says there are economies of duration, as well as scale in its activities. So contracts granted by the public sector are getting longer, which provides a degree of earnings visibility.
The group estimates that only 10 per cent of council activities that can be outsourced have been. Councils rely on reputation when outsourcing and Capita's track record is strong. Most of its new business follows consultation with existing happy customers. In the first half, it lost no business. And the private sector is now jumping on the outsourcing bandwagon too.
Analysts expect full-year pre-tax profits of pounds 36m and earnings of 12p per share, rising to pounds 43m and 14p the year after. The rating is justified - buy into any weakness.

History will remember 2016 as a challenging year for America. Be it economic upheavals and civil disorder, or national security and cultural challenges, almost every corner of our society and our democratic way of life was tested. Not surprisingly, a great deal of the chaos we continue to endure has one root cause – a failure as a society to develop leaders with integrity. While our society struggles to re-establish its footing, the American Leadership & Policy Foundation stayed the course with an uncompromising determination to develop leaders who put America's citizens before themselves. However, this has not been easy. Our foundation, too, has encountered many of the challenges confronting wider society. Notwithstanding, our vision remains fixed on service before self.
American Leadership & Policy Foundation
The American Leadership & Policy Foundation (ALPF) is the first foundation of its kind.
ALPF is America's only citizen directed research and policy foundation. We serve America by providing research by the people, for the people. In a climate where special interest groups and corporations dominate the public policy arena, ALPF provides a critical counterbalance. The perspective and research generated by ALPF originates with civically concerned thought leaders, experts, and professionals who generate world-class policy analysis from the frontline of their respective fields.
The ALPF was founded in 2014 as an IRS 501(c)3 nonprofit, non-partisan, public policy think tank.
We work for you. ALPF specializes in educating and informing citizens and leaders on our nation's most significant public policy issues; we also specialize in developing leaders and civic engagement programs to ensure citizens understand that their involvement in civics is critical to America's continued freedom and prosperity. Our purpose is simple – provide pure perspective and leadership for a strong America.
The ALPF 2015 Annual Report is now available for download. Simply click the cover image below to open a new window and read the report online, or right-click to save it to your computer.
American Leadership & Policy Foundation is funded exclusively by people like you and does not accept corporate or special interest funding and grants. We work for the people of the United States and are wholly committed to developing the kind of policy solutions and leadership that benefit our citizens first.

Exercise Excuses
Timeless Fitness Tip
We are all very good at finding exercise excuses when it comes to fitness. You don't have time, the dog got sick, son has a hockey game, etc. That is the #1 reason people quit an exercise program or even worse, don't start one.
But the reality is that you only need a minimum of 20 minutes a day to keep your health up. Yes, more is better, but for now, never mind that; 20 short minutes a day can still do wonders.
Do you have 20 minutes out of 24 hours to devote entirely to yourself? Of course you do, it's the equivalent of watching a TV program, or reading a newspaper.
If you don't want to give up that TV program, grab some weights while you're watching, or hop on that treadmill in front of a television. The newspaper? Put it down for a few minutes, or take that on the treadmill or stationery bike.
Anything is possible if you want it bad enough; you just have to make it happen!

Ron Barber in Trouble for Calling House GOP, With 86 Percent White Men, a "Bunch of White Guys"
Democratic Congressman Ron Barber -- who won the special election in June to fill the seat of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords -- is already fighting for his reelection, and he's already made his Republican opponent angry.
Martha McSally's campaign put out a press release condemning Barber for saying House Republicans are "essentially a bunch of white guys."
McSally's campaign is upset that Barber "categorizes all Republicans with ultra partisan remarks," is "name calling," and spouting off "stereotypes."
Both candidates met with the Arizona Daily Star's editorial board to chat, and here's what Barbed said that apparently upset McSally:
"The Democratic side of the House is a rainbow of colors and ethnicities and religious beliefs," he said. "Quite frankly, on the other side, it's essentially a bunch of white guys."
That's because the people sent to represent Republicans are typically the 'big money' people in the country, he said.

Well, if your interpretation of "essentially" is about 86 percent or more, then it's more of a fact than a "stereotype." If you think "essentially" is less than 86 percent, Barber's a jerk.
Of the 240 Republican House members, two are African-American, seven are Hispanic, one is American Indian, and 24 are women. One person fits multiple categories -- Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is a Hispanic woman. That leaves 207 white male Republicans, or about 86 percent.
Democrats have about 53 percent white men.
McSally also took issue with Barber saying the white Republican guys are the "big money" people, which isn't really a specific claim from Barber.
However, irony appears to be lost in this squabble, since Barber appears to be a "white guy" Democrat and McSally's a female Republican.

Many tenants aren't aware of the importance of home insurance. In fact, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, about half of all tenants don't have insurance. Contents insurance for tenants isn't imposed by Canadian law, but your landlord could require it on your lease. Here are some myths and facts about tenant insurance and some reasons why it's a good idea to get it.
Fact: In general, the average price of tenant insurance is between $15 and $30 a month.
Here are some tips to save on tenant insurance:
Building a good history of tenant insurance (like having a claims-free record) can also help you save on your premium later on, when you purchase home or condo insurance.
Fact: Your landlord's insurance covers damage to the building. It doesn't cover your personal belongings or your liability.
Fact: You may need additional coverage for expensive artwork, fine jewellery and other items.
Here are some examples of what is covered by tenant insurance:
Getting tenant insurance is generally a smart decision given the small premium and the extensive coverage. We recommend starting by making an inventory of all your possessions and figuring out how much it would cost to replace them in the event of loss or damage. This will help you decide if tenant insurance is right for you.

What is the difference between this and racism?
The President of Panem distances himself from the unwashed masses in District 12:
// Actor Donald Sutherland said that he is "ashamed" of being a "white male" during an interview on The Today Show. (scroll down for video)
Donald recalled an incident where he was chastised by actor Helen Mirren, "[She] came up to me on the set and…she said, 'You are the most privileged person on Earth.' I said, 'How can you say that?' And she said, 'You are a white male.'"
Co-Host on the show, Tamron Hall, asked, "And your reply to that was?"
Sutherland declared, "There's no reply. I was ashamed. I was stunned. And I have gotten more ashamed."
But that was only the beginning of Donald's anti-white, anti-male rant: "It's interesting to realize that you are seen as an integral part of a group that many of whom are mendacious, misogynist, of bigots, racists, and it's appalling."//
