I went through a period of time where I spent a lot of effort figuring out how to set up unit tests for TSQL. It wasn't easy. There are a few tools out there that help, but mostly it involves lots of programming. well, not as much as before. Thanks to the latest Down Tools Week at Red Gate a new utility has been built and released into the wild, SQL Test.
Like a lot of the new tools coming out of Red Gate these days, this one is directly integrated into SSMS, which means you're working where you're comfortable and where you already have lots of tools at your disposal. After the install, when you launch SSMS and get connected, you're prompted to install the tSQLt example database. Go for it. It's a quick way to see how the tool works. I'd suggest using it. It' gives you a quick leg up.
The concepts are pretty straight forward. There are a series of CLR commands that you use to configure a test and the test assertions. In between you're calling TSQL, either calls to your structure, queries, or stored procedures. They already have the one things that I always found wanting in database tests, a way to compare tables of results. I also like the ability to create a dummy copy of tables for the tests. It lets you control structures and behaviors so that the tests are more focused. One of the issues I always ran into with the other testing tools is that setting up the tests might require potentially destructive changes to the structure of the database (dropping FKs, etc.) which added lots of time and effort to setting up the tests, making testing more difficult, and therefor, less useful.
Functionally, this is pretty similar to the Visual Studio tests and TSQLUnit tests that I used to use. The primary improvement over the Visual Studio tests is that I'm working in SSMS instead of Visual Studio. The primary improvement over TSQLUnit is the SQL Test interface it self. A lot of the functionality is the same, but having a sweet little tool to manage & run the tests from makes a huge difference. Oh, and don't worry. You can still run these tests directly from TSQL too, so automation has not gone away.
I'm still thinking about how I'd use this in a dev environment where I also had source control to fret. That might be another blog post right there. I'm just getting started with SQL Test, so this is the first of several blog posts & videos. Watch this space. Try the tool.

GATE FAQs: GATE Frequently Asked Questions are provided here. You may be having these questions in your mind. We try to answer them in this article. GATE, which is the acronym of Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering, is essentially a national level examination that is organized for the purposes of assessing knowledge and understanding of undergraduate subjects in the fields of science and engineering. It is jointly organized by the premier Indian Institute of Science (abbreviated as IISc) and the Indian Institutes of Technology (abbreviated as IITs) under the authority of the National Coordination Board—GATE which functions under the Department of Higher Education, the Ministry of Human Resources Development (abbreviated as MHRD), Government of India.
The score obtained in GATE is utilized for the purposes of admissions to various post-graduation courses, such as Doctor of Philosophy (abbreviated as Ph.D., Master of Technology (abbreviated as M.Tech.) and Master of Engineering (abbreviated as M.E.), in several higher education institutes in India. GATE scores are also considered during recruitment drives in many Indian public sector undertakings.
GATE is one of the most difficult and competitive examinations in not only India but also abroad. It has been recognized as one of the well-accepted examinations by some of the premier institutions in the world such as Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. It is because of the prestige and reputation of the examination that it is one of the most popular examinations in India.
Since it is one of the most attended examinations in the country and an essential roadmap to prestigious institutions such as the IITs, Indian Institutes of Information technology (abbreviated as IIITs), IISc, etc, there are numerous questions that quite possibly arise in the minds of students and other stakeholders. So, under this article, an attempt is made to address all possible queries relating to GATE and give them the aptest response possible to dispel doubts. So, here are a few Frequently Asked questions (abbreviated as FAQs) that have been answered:
Q 1: I have qualified my B.Tech program so am I eligible to apply for GATE?
A 1: Yes, you are eligible to apply for the same. Among the eligibility criteria, the eligibility of a B.Tech degree holder is provided. It states that any person who possesses Bachelor's degree in the field of Engineering or Technology or Architecture (four years following 10+2 or Post-Diploma or Post- Bachelor of Science) and those who are presently enrolled in the final year of such courses are eligible.
Q 2: I have passed but with a backlog in the present year. Can I apply for the GATE in the following year?
A 1: As mentioned before, there is no bar as far as you are able to clear all backlogs before applying for admissions through GATE scores.
Q 3: I have graduated but do not possess the degree certificate, though I am in possession of a Provisional Certificate for the same. Will that be sufficient for the purpose of application?
A 3: Yes, you can very well apply for GATE by using any of the following option, namely: course completion certificate or provisional certificate or membership certificate or degree certificate or professional certificate issued by the institute or society.
Q 4: I have graduated with 50 percent marks. Will that make me eligible for application?
A 4: GATE does not mention any minimum pass percentage for the purpose of eligibility however, most institutes associated with GATE require minimum 60 percent and above in the undergraduate degree for the purposes of admissions and the same is applicable to Public Sector Undertakings. IISc is an exception since it takes candidates having a second class for M.Tech programs provided that they secure valid GATE scores. The answer is that it depends on the institute you seek admission in.
Q 5: Is there any limit as to the number of times a candidate can write GATE?
A 5: GATE guidelines do not mention any such limit or any age bar for the application.
Q 6: I have finished my graduation by means of distance learning. Can I still apply for GATE?
A 6: Yes. GATE does not mention any mode of learning (whether open or distance). All it mandates is that the course so pursued is duly recognized by the All Indian Council for Technical Education (abbreviated as AICTE) for the purposes of eligibility to apply for GATE.
Q 7: Can a person who has finished post-graduate apply for GATE?
A 7: In case a candidate has obtained a post-graduate degree or is pursuing one, then he/she is required to choose the minimum required degree while filling in the application form.
Q 8: I am the Other Backward Class (abbreviated as OBC) candidate and unable to upload the certificate. What should be done now?
A 8: A Candidate from the OBC category is not required to upload the certificate. Such certificate is only needed while taking admission by means of GATE scores. So, there is no need to worry at the application form level.
Q 9: How will I be informed that my photograph is approved or not?
A 9: The assessment of the application form shall be done by the organizing institute. In case the photograph uploaded is not approved, then the candidate shall be intimated via an SMS or e-mail. Upon receiving the notification, the candidate can make necessary changes.
Q 10: Where is the option for payment of application fee through e-challan?
A 10: Proceed to the payment window and you can find the E-challan option there. Once you find the option, download and print the same. Pay it at the closest SBI branch. There is no need to send the challan or the printout to the organizing institute following payment but please keep the same for future reference.
Q 11: Is it sufficient to only carry GATE admit card to the exam center?
A 11: No, it is not. Make sure that you carry the valid and original (no scanned or photocopy) ID proof. Bring that ID proof whose details were entered in the application form. Carrying ID proof is a mandatory technical requirement and failure in doing so can result in the student being denied permission to write the paper.
Q 12: Will I be permitted to carry a calculator in the exam hall?
A 12: No, the candidates are not permitted to carry calculators inside the examination hall. In case the candidate brings inside one, he/she shall stand debarred from the examination.
Q 13: I have chosen a wrong paper and wish to rectify the same. Can it be done?
A 13: In order to rectify the same, the candidate needs to file a fresh application with a different e-mail address and select the correct paper for the examination. It is to be noted that there shall be no refund for the incorrect application.
Q 14: I have committed a few mistakes in the application form which I want to rectify. Can it be done?
A 14: Rectification of the application is allowed barring for e-mail ID, Caste certificate, Mobile number, and exam paper. The candidates have to send the organizing institute a mail, along with their enrollment ID and a document reflecting the correct information. Changes approved shall be informed by means of an e-mail or SMS as soon as the assessment has been conducted by the organizing institute.
Q 15: I wish to change my category in the application form. What is the process, if the same is permitted?
A 15: Yes, the candidate is allowed to change the category. In order to make changes from General/OBC category to the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe category, drop an e-mail to the Zonal GATE office. Changes shall be processed, though no application fee shall be refunded.
Q 16: Can I change the exam city after submission of the application form?
A 16: Yes, the same is allowed but only till a prescribed time. Generally, a fee is prescribed for effecting the change in the application form.

Video: Shocking footage of alleged gunman 'opening fire' in Munich
An unverified video shows the alleged Munich gunman opening fire outside a McDonalds restaurant near the Olympia-Einkaufszentrum metro station.
The sound of multiple shots being fired can be heard in an unverified video as shoppers and passers-by run for cover.
Police in Munich say they do not know where the attacker or attackers are and have repeated the warning for people to avoid public places.
#Munich police: "Currently we do not know where the perpetrators are. Take care and avoid the public." #oez https://t.co/13jDLl83r4— Guardian news (@guardiannews) July 22, 2016
#Munich police warning people to stay away from public places – "the situation is still unclear" #OEZ https://t.co/DvQDH7Ihp9— Guardian news (@guardiannews) July 22, 2016
They also tweeted that there are rumours of another shooting in the city, but that the location is unclear.
In the unverified video, a man with dark hair, wearing a black t-shirt and denim trousers, appears to take aim at people outside a McDonald's restaurant near the Olympia-Einkaufszentrum metro station.
He raises his arms, apparently holding a shotgun, and appears to fire at people outside the restaurant, who can be seen running for cover.
Shots were fired at the Olympia Einkaufszentrum mall in Munich, police had earlier stated.

The hotel is located away from the noise and bustle of the commercial end of the boardwalk. We had a remodeled room with a great view of the ocean, inlet and the sunset. The room was very nice. Our housekeeper felt the need to take our towels and not replace them, but our request for more was quickly met after a call to the front desk. Shuttle and van service to the boardwalk and other areas was convenient and frequent enough that we never really had to wait for long. Overall, staff members were very pleasant and helpful. HOWEVER, the elevator service was excruciating,and we actually learned to add extra time when planning to arrive somewhere at a preset time. One or two waits were 20 minutes! I would have been willing to walk up the stairs, but beyond the fifth floor (highest parking garage level), I found the doors locked. Finally, the food at the restaurant was great, and we had fun dancing to the DJ music.

Biruté Mary Galdikas is the foremost protector of orangutans on the planet. Also known as Biruté Marija Filomena Galdikas, she is frequently described as the third woman sent by paleontologist Dr. Louis B. Leakey to study primates in their natural habitat, after Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall, and is therefore known as one of Leakeys Angels. Although she was dubbed Queen of the Orangutans in Italy and profiled by the New York Times and Time, she has not been one to play to the media. She is the only foreign-born person to win the Hero of the Earth Award (Kalpataru), from the Indonesian government. She has studied and protected orangutans in Tanjung Puting National Park, Indonesia, since 1971, and she has also long been associated with the Department of Archaeology at Simon Fraser University.
Galdikas parents met in a refugee camp after fleeing Lithuania at the end of WWII. She was born in West Germany in 1946 but came to Canada at age two, settling in Toronto, then moving to Vancouver in 1962. She married Rod Brindamour while attending the University of California. After attending a Leakey lecture in Los Angeles, she asked Leakey for his help in order to study orangutans. Are you willing to have your appendix removed? Leakey asked. It was a test. Galdikas offered to have her tonsils taken out, too. Leakey suggested Brindamour accompany her to Borneo to photograph orangutans. Three years later, in 1971, the young couple left for Borneo, stopping at National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C., for training and equipment. They flew to Kenya to visit Leakey, briefly acquired some field training from Goodall in Tanzania, stopped in Pakistan, India and Nepal, and then arrived in Jakarta. At first I thought we would be just holding down the fort until reinforcements came, she recalls. I never envisioned that we were the cavalry.
Gradually they accumulated sightings, allocating names according to Jane Goodalls method: related apes were always given names beginning with the same letter of the alphabet. What started out as an academic study, she says, quickly evolved into a passion. Dr. Leakey died of a heart attack in 1972 but Goodall encouraged Galdikas and Brindamour to persist. National Geographic arrived with a camera crew in 1975. Binti Paul Galdikas Brindamour was born in 1976 and grew up with orangutans as playmates, imitating orangutans as his siblings. The marriage buckled but Galdikas didnt. Rod Brindamour left for Canada to pursue a career in computer science. In 1981, Galdikas married her co-worker Pak Bohap and they have several children. Galdikas Reflections of Eden: My Years with the Orangutans of Borneo (1995) was followed by Orangutan Odyssey (1999) and Great Ape Odyssey (2005).
Galdikas has proven that orangutans have the longest birth intervals of any mammal: a wild adult female has young once every eight years. Orangutan females give birth alone. Mothers will carry their young for four years; some are not weaned until six or seven years. Male-to-male competition for females is fierce. Forced copulation exists. Orangutans share 97% of human DNA, making them the third-closest relations to humans after chimpanzees and gorillas.
Biruté Mary Galdikas is the foremost protector of orangutans on the planet. Also known as Biruté Marija Filomena Galdikas, she is invariably described as the third woman sent by paleontologist Dr. Louis B. Leakey to study primates in their natural habitat, after Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall, and is therefore known as one of "Leakey's Angels." She is an Officer of the Order of Canada and also the only foreign-born person ever to win the Kalpataru, Hero of the Environment Award, from the Indonesian government. While studying orangutans for more than thirty-five years, Biruté Mary Galdikas has also taught as a Professor in the Department of Archaeology at Simon Fraser University.
Galdikas' parents met in a refugee camp after fleeing Lithuania at the end of World War II. She was born in West Germany in 1946 but came to Canada at age two, settling in Toronto, then moving to Vancouver in 1962. After high school in B.C., she met and married Rod Brindamour while attending University of California in Los Angeles. There she also attended a Leakey lecture. Afterwards she asked Leakey for his help in order to study orangutans. Are you willing to have your appendix removed?" Leakey asked. It was a test. Galdikas offered to have her tonsils taken out, too. Leakey suggested Brindamour accompany her to Borneo to photograph orangutans. Three years later, the young couple left for Borneo in 1971, stopping at National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C. for training and equipment. They flew to Kenya to visit Leakey, briefly acquired some field training from Goodall in Tanzania, stopped in Pakistan, India and Nepal, then arrived in Jakarta. "At first I thought we would be just holding down the fort until reinforcements came," she recalls, "I never envisioned that we were the cavalry."
In their first year at Camp Leakey the couple lost more than twenty pounds each, they suffered mysterious infections, humidity rotted their boots and they lived in a single logger's cabin. They quickly learned orangutans were commonly kept as illegal pets. The first Indonesian phrase Rod Brindamour learned was, 'This officer is here with me so he can confiscate your orangutan.' They also learned the hard way that orangutans are loners who live in treetops. One Japanese scientist had searched for two months without a single sighting. Gradually they accumulated sightings, allocating names according to Jane Goodall's method: related apes were always given names beginning with the same letter of the alphabet. "What started out as an academic study," she says, quickly evolved into a passion." Dr. Leakey died of a heart attack in 1972. For his followers it was a serious setback emotionally. Jane Goodall encouraged Galdikas and Brindamour to persist. National Geographic arrived with a camera crew in 1975. Binti Paul Galdikas Brindamour was born in 1976. Their son was a mini-Tarzan. Binti grew up with orangutans as playmates, imitating orangutans as his siblings. It was worrisome for both parents because one of Camp Leakey's more violent orangutans, Sugito, had killed other orphans. The marriage buckled under the pressure; Birute didn't. Rod Brindamour left for Canada to pursue a career in computer science. He soon remarried whereupon Birute took Binti to live with Rod Brindamour and his new wife. (Jane Goodall had previously made a similar decision when she sent her son to live in London without her.)
Galdikas has published her research in Science magazine. She has been dubbed 'Queen of the Orangutans' in Italy and profiled by The New York Times and Time, but she has not been one to play to the media. In 1981 Birute married her co-worker Pak Bohap. They have had several children. When the children appear in her slides during presentations, she doesn't add any sentimental or intimate comments. Whenever she has returned to Simon Fraser University to teach primatology, her husband Pak Bohap has remained at Camp Leakey to maintain her research and conservation site. Galdikas has established that orangutans have the longest birth intervals of any mammal: A wild adult female has young once every eight years. Orangutan females give birth' alone. Mothers will carry their young for four years; some are not weaned until six' or seven years. "Orangutans are excruciatingly vulnerable to extinction," she says. Orangutans are also accomplished toolmakers and imitators. Male-to-male competition for females is fierce. Forcible copulation (rape) exists. Orangutans share 97% of human DNA. They are the third-closest associates to humans: after chimpanzees and gorillas. But that's not why they're so important. "Orangutans have never left the Garden of Eden," Galdikas says, "They have: never left the canopy of the rainforest." By this Galdikas means that orangutans still occupy their original habitat: unlike more adaptive chimps, gorillas and humans. It therefore follows that the mysteries of human behaviour and instincts might be divulged most readily if we can continue to study orangutans in the wild.
Galdikas holds a Ph.D in anthropology from UCLA and has served as president of the Orangutan Foundation International in Los Angeles. Her memoir is Reflections of Eden: My Years with the Orangutans of Borneo (Little, Brown 1995). Great Ape Odyssey (Harry N. Abrams, 2005), with 125 photographs by Karl Ammann, is her follow-up to Orangutan Odyssey (Harry N. Abrams, 1999), co-authored with Nancy Briggs and photograper Karl Ammann.

Gallardo, Evelyn. 1993 Among the Orangutans: The Birute Galdikas Story. Chronicle Books, San Francisco.
Dr. Biruté Galdikas in Vancouver, 1993
SPEAKING TO A NEAR-CAPACITY crowd at the Vogue Theatre, the world's foremost protector of orangutan habitat and a surrogate parent to 100 rehabilitated orangutans, as well as a mother to three human children along the way, looks tired, vaguely beat. Twenty-two years of living in the Borneo jungle, battling poachers and loggers, enduring malaria, typhoid, leeches, toxic tree sap bums, dengue fever and former headhunters who eat orangutans will do that for a person...
We knew in advance, thanks to a CBC- TV documentary called "The Third Angel", that Galdikas no longer resembles the Madonna-with-orangutan featured in Evelyn Gallardo's new biography for young readers, Among the Orangutans: The Birute Galdikas Story (Chronicle/Raincoast $8.95/$17.95). At the podium for the inaugural fundraiser of the newly formed Orangutan Foundation of Canada, Canada's wild woman of Borneo is surprisingly circumspect, almost dour, as she dutifully narrates her slide show.
It's a culture shock to find someone on a stage not trying to be liked. Her potentially worshipful audience is hoping for humour or inspirational anger, and will get neither. A former National Geographic cover girl, Galdikas has become a hard-core realist. "Being an ecologist or a biologist is almost irrelevant to conservation," she says, "Increasingly conservationists must be political."
Galdikas, a lecturer in primatology at SFU, recently received a United Nations Global 500 Award in Beijing and a 1993 Chevron Conservation Award. She's a bona fide global eco-star. But even with her reputation as one of 'Leakey's Primates' or 'Leakey's Angels', Galdikas has to watch her step in, of all places, Vancouver. In the audience tonight is a representative from the Indonesian consulate. Galdikas praises the Indonesian government for its cooperation. East Timor isn't mentioned. Her audience doesn't know, and isn't told, that Galdikas has yet to be re-issued her annual permit from the Indonesia Institute of Science to continue her research in September.
Galdikas notes the Indonesian government has now declared its number one priority is 'jobs' and she leaves it at that. The logging companies don't want her back in the 300,000-hectare Tanjung Puting Reserve. She shows us one slide of the Korea-based logging consortium that has moved into her peninsula jutting into the Java Sea. She is only obliquely critical. She can only afford to be blunt about humankind in general. "One thing we know for sure is that humans don't relinquish power very easily," she says, "Human capacity for greed is an almost inexhaustible commodity."
Local emcee Gamet Hardy has spent two weeks at Galdikas' remote Camp Leakey compound, 30 miles up the winding Sekonyer River from the town of Pangkalan Bun, in Borneo. He repeatedly refers to Galdikas as ' the professor' . One gets the impression 'the professor' is not always a happy camper. Nonetheless Galdikas is willing to make a perfunctory fuss about the City of Vancouver's proclamation of 'Protect Orangutan Day' on July 8. She must play every angle. "All I can do is squeak piteously in the dark," she says.
The professor's audience waits politely for Galdikas to finish so they can buy souvenir t-shirts in the lobby. Copies of the book will be snapped up, too. But before they go, Galdikas lets slip something which reveals something of the fierceness of her character, and the depth of her scientific but also moral vision. "AIDS", she says, "is probably directly related to the degradation of the environment of this planet." Galdikas apparently accepts the green monkey theory. Monkey brain eating. Retrogression. The rapaciousness of humankind. Coupled with her earlier reference to orangutans still inhabiting the Garden of Eden, this remark indicates Biruté Galdikas has a great deal more to say about humankind than she's willing to share during the course of a slide show. No doubt Dr. Galdikas can sometimes be prickly, circumspect, stubborn, tired, arrogant and not much of an entertainer. Thank God she's on the planet.
Apes, Great and Small, in Peril
from [Simon Fraser University News 2005]
By Biruté Mary Galdikas
The first time I heard Canadas Governor General, Michaelle Jean, mention breaking down solitudes, I thought that it was an exquisite reference to issues in Canadian society.
But the second time I heard the phrase, it brought to mind orangutans, the most solitary of the apes, the solitudes. The breaking down implied the orangutans imperiled state on the edge of extinction.
When I first started studying orangutans in the great tropical rain forests of Indonesian Borneo (Kalimantan), all that science knew about these enigmatic red apes in the wild might have filled a page. That was almost 35 years ago. We now know much more about orangutans but, unfortunately, we also know that orangutan populations have declined precipitously over the last few decades and that 80 per cent of orangutan habitat has been decimated.
Ten years ago Orangutan Foundation International (OFI) proclaimed the first week in November as International Orangutan Awareness Week in an attempt to publicize the plight of the wild orangutan to a seemingly oblivious world. OFI (www.orangutan.org) put up a website (www.ioaw.org) and encouraged supporters to hold events, give talks and bring attention in any way they could to the dire situation facing orangutans in the wild.
Along with the African chimpanzees and gorillas, the Asian orangutans are great apes, our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom. Chimpanzees are so closely related to humans that their genome differs by only 1.2 per cent in terms of single nucleotide changes and, once blood types are matched, chimpanzees can receive blood transfusions from us and vice versa. Gorillas, the greatest of the great apes in terms of size, are also very closely related to humans who, in some ways, are just another African ape.
All great apes share with humans high cognitive abilities, similar emotions, foresight, excellent memories, self-recognition and self-awareness, and are capable of symbolic communication, insight, imitation and innovation as well as generalization, abstract thought and problem solving. When we look into their eyes, we see something there that we recognize. Their eyes reflect our own.
Less known are the small apes, gibbons and the siamang. After the great apes, the small apes are our closest living relatives. Found only in Southeast Asia and China, small apes are territorial, monogamous, and the acrobats of the primate world, swinging from tree to tree like the flying young man on the swinging trapeze and then soaring mid-air as they let go of one branch and fly to reach another. Certainly, this soaring locomotion is their form of genius. Gibbons are also known for their soprano vocalizations. Gibbons dont use tools and dont perform well in laboratory tests, scoring below some monkeys on intelligence tests. But studies of their brain show cerebellums that fall on the great ape side of the divide. And I personally have seen one captive gibbon, to my amazement, use tools, twigs, to scratch himself. I think gibbons are underrated. They are as flighty, edgy, and fragile as the birds with which they share the treetops. But they are brighter, smarter and more adaptable than they have been given credit for in textbooks.
Unfortunately, all apes, great and small, are in dire straits. All face extinction as their habitats are destroyed. When I first arrived in Borneo over 90 per cent of the island consisted of primary tropical rain forest, the worlds second-largest continuous expanse of forest after the Amazon Basin. But now Borneos forest is in retreat, like the forests of equatorial Africa, under relentless pressure from the forces of the global economy. Like a high-speed locomotive with no one at the controls, the global economy hurtles recklessly into the future, overwhelming everything in its path, destroying habitats and accelerating the extinction of plants and animals as well as the destruction of traditional human communities that co-existed with and sheltered the ecosystems in which the apes lived.
The prognosis for all ape populations in the wild is bleak. As habitat loss continues, ape populations decline and fragment, creating smaller populations that are increasingly vulnerable to local extinction. Local extinctions are common. In the African nation of Togo, once 33 per cent forest, the forest is now almost gone. Not surprisingly, the western chimpanzee recently went extinct in Togo. In Nigeria and Cameroon, the Cross River Gorilla has the lowest population of any African great ape with only 150-200 left. In China, due to recent industrial development, the call of the Hainan gibbon can only be heard in captivity. On the island of Java the endemic gibbon is found in only two protected mountainous areas and numbers less than two thousand. In Sumatra the orangutan population is critically endangered; some populations number only in the dozens.
As I write, International Orangutan Awareness Week is in full swing. But what does it matter? Jane Goodall has been on the road tirelessly since 1986 championing chimpanzee conservation and animal rights. Yet chimpanzee habitats are shrinking. In West and Central Africa, chimpanzees are just meat for the pot. Unless politicians, rock stars, and governments embrace the cause of great and small ape extinction in a major way, apes will go extinct within the next 50 years.
The one bright spot remains the mountain gorillas. Dian Fossey gave up her life in 1985 for the gorillas. The tourist industry that followed helped provide stability and money, allowing for a 17 per cent increase in gorilla numbers since the last census. It costs $50 for a park ranger to guide you to the cabin where Dian lived and the grave where she lies buried. It costs $350 per day for one hour with the gorillas. The mountain gorillas are as expensive as some lawyers. That has been their salvation.
Im not saying we need more martyrs to ensure the survival of the great and small apes but the Hollywood movie, Gorillas in the Mist, sure helped. And International Orangutan Awareness Week also probably helps hold back the tide. It could be a lot worse. Orangutans could be extinct throughout their entire range and not just locally. We need a Mission Impossible like those led by Bono and Bill Gates in their fight against global poverty and disease. We need to pressure our governments to save the great and small apes. An occasional billionaire would help, too.
Why save the apes? I could give ecological and even economic answers but the truth is greater. The great and small apes represent who we once were and where we came from. They are not our ancestors but our siblings, brother and sister species, and our cousins. They led the way and we followed, eventually overtaking them as we became human, and then we left them behind. That separation should not be their death sentence. What consolation solitude if we remain the only species in our family left behind on a planet endlessly spinning with no close kin to call our own?

Marginal employment and health in Germany and the United Kingdom: Does unstable employment predict health?
This study examines the possible health impact of marginal employment, including both temporary and part-time employment schemes. It addresses a growing concern in Europe that fixed-term employment and other forms of marginal employment may generate social inequality. Logistic regression models were used to analyze panel data from Germany and the U.K. (1991-93), available in the Household Panel Comparability Project data base. We included 11,980 respondents from Germany and 8,729 from the United Kingdom. The health dependent variable used was a single measure of perceived health status.

Paul Krugman comments that Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin aims to eliminate any political challenge to corporate wealth. Stripping public employee unions of the right to collective bargaining would render them powerless–and clear the electoral field of an entity that supports campaigns on behalf of middle and working class interests. What Walker is doing has nothing to do with balancing his state's budget; indeed, he drove up the deficit and the unions are ready to compromise. It's all about moving toward an America that serves only the needs of the rich. From "Wisconsin Power Play":
...In principle, every American citizen has an equal say in our political process. In practice, of course, some of us are more equal than others. Billionaires can field armies of lobbyists; they can finance think tanks that put the desired spin on policy issues; they can funnel cash to politicians with sympathetic views (as the Koch brothers did in the case of Mr. Walker). On paper, we're a one-person-one-vote nation; in reality, we're more than a bit of an oligarchy, in which a handful of wealthy people dominate.
Given this reality, it's important to have institutions that can act as counterweights to the power of big money. And unions are among the most important of these institutions.
You don't have to love unions, you don't have to believe that their policy positions are always right, to recognize that they're among the few influential players in our political system representing the interests of middle- and working-class Americans, as opposed to the wealthy. Indeed, if America has become more oligarchic and less democratic over the last 30 years — which it has — that's to an important extent due to the decline of private-sector unions.
And now Mr. Walker and his backers are trying to get rid of public-sector unions, too.
There's a bitter irony here. The fiscal crisis in Wisconsin, as in other states, was largely caused by the increasing power of America's oligarchy. After all, it was superwealthy players, not the general public, who pushed for financial deregulation and thereby set the stage for the economic crisis of 2008-9, a crisis whose aftermath is the main reason for the current budget crunch. And now the political right is trying to exploit that very crisis, using it to remove one of the few remaining checks on oligarchic influence.
So will the attack on unions succeed? I don't know. But anyone who cares about retaining government of the people by the people should hope that it doesn't.

Girl clicks photo of her Harasser and put it on Social Media
Taking a brave step, a girl clicked photograph of the man who allegedly harassed her at a traffic signal in Delhi, and posted it on social networking site Facebook. 20-year-old Jasleen Kaur was crossing the road at a traffic signal in Tilak Nagar, when the man made obscene comments at her. "He passed obscene remarks at me. I wasn't comfortable with it. I took his picture and told him that I will file a complaint against him," said Jasleen Kaur. He then threatened me, saying, ""Jo kar sakti hai kar le. Complaint karke dikha, fir dekhiyo kya karta hun main." But there was something that is disturbing me much more than his obscene remarks. The fact that it was a traffic signal and 20 other people were there. Yes, no one intervened," Jasleen added. Jasleen has registered a complaint with the police and has even provides his vechicle number and photograph to them. "Eve teasing is traumatising for girls. I want immediate action against him," she said.

Superfund Site: RHINEHART TIRE FIRE DUMP
Superfund Site Profile
The 22-acre Rhinehart Tire Fire Dump site is located in Frederick County, Virginia. Between 1972 and 1983, the site owner operated a tire reuse and disposal facility, handling as many as 25 million tires. In October 1983, a fire broke out in a 5-acre tire storage area and burned until July 1984. The fire consumed an estimated five to seven million tires. The burning tires produced a free flowing oily tar that ultimately contaminated sediment and surface water of an adjacent stream, Massey Run. Cleanup is complete at the site. EPA took the site off the Superfund program's National Priorities List (NPL) in September 2005.

Scramble to Tamanos Mountain
Rate this Adventure Washington › Owyhigh Lakes Trailhead
Added by Alex Murray
Traverse an expansive field of wildflowers for breathtaking views of Mt. Rainier and a fun scramble to the summit of Tamanos Mountain.
Soon after entering Mt. Rainier National Park via the White River Entrance, pull into the Owyhigh Lakes Trail parking area. From the parking lot, walk across Sunrise Road to the Owyhigh Lakes Trailhead to begin an exceptional hike to the summit of Tamanos Mountain.
Start by hiking 3.5 miles on the well-maintained Owyhigh Lakes Trail through old growth forest to the Tamanos Creek Campground. Beyond the campground, the forest opens up to views of Owyhigh Lake beneath the towering spires of Governors Ridge to the east. To the west, you can begin to see the ridgeline with Tamanos Mountain through the trees.
Continue past Owyhigh Lake for approximately a quarter of a mile to a defined junction in a grassy meadow with views of the Cowlitz Chimneys to the west. If you take the left fork, you can continue on the Owyhigh Lakes Trail toward Deer Creek Campground. However, you will take the path to the right to begin climbing up the mountainside to Tamanos.
As you rise above the scattered trees, the trail traverses through grassy fields filled with wildflowers in the summer months. The path will become increasingly faint as you continue to climb toward the saddle between Tamanos Mountain and the Cowlitz Chimneys. Though it may seem like the path disappears as you approach the saddle, continue climbing upward. As you ascent, make sure to glance back to appreciate the views of Mt. Adams in the distance.
With your last steps toward the flat saddle, stop to enjoy closeup views of Mt. Rainier. Take some photographs and relax as the cool winds blow off the Emmons and Fryingpan Glaciers below. From the saddle, hikers can choose to turn around or continue to the summit of Tamanos if comfortable with class 2/3 scrambling.
Once rejuvenated, begin climbing north on a clear bootpath until you reach the false southern summit of Tamanos Mountain. Drop down on the western (left) side of the mountain to traverse past the spires of the false summits. After making it past the three false summits, gain the main ridge to scramble toward the final summit block. At the base of the true summit, scramble up the rock to attain the main summit.
Take it the incredible views of Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, the Cowlitz Chimneys, and Summerland.

I downloaded the file to another server and tried the install on another machine and it started the install without any problems. I then went to the spiceworks server and checked the user account control and it was on, I turned it off and the install is now running. I always turn this off and I should have checked this first since it creates so many problems when it is on.

Hi, my name is Dennis. I live in sunny Arizona. Sun shines here about 350 days a year. Outside cooking and grilling is a year around event. I have two smokers, one charcoal grill and a large built in gas grill. I love to smoke and cure meats and fish. I make my own bacon, from both pork belly and pork loin. Last fall I cured and smoked a 16 pound ham. It worried me a bit due to the curing process taking 6 weeks. But the ham turned out great.

Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google again came into the limelight as it was recently reported that the tech giant is gearing up to roll out a significant update for its aging VoIP, Google Voice. The news has ignited excitement among the users since the tech titan hasn't run any update for Google Voice since it was integrated with Hangouts in 2014.
Google spokesperson, in a statement, wrote: "Sorry, it looks like we must have dialed the wrong number! But don't worry, this wasn't a prank call. We're working on some updates to Google Voice right now. We have you on speed dial, and we'll be sure to share what we've been up to just as soon as we can."
Moreover, it should be noted that the tech giant didn't reveal any official update about when it is planning to roll out the update or what it might include, but many analysts believe that the company will roll out the update in the coming few weeks. Also, many reports swirling around in the tech space that the tech titan might integrate its Google Voice with its messaging services, such as Allo and Duo, in a bid to differentiate its offering from other market players.
Since the search engine giant does not roll out any update for its VoIP, many analysts believe that users are expecting the company to come up with something innovative and exciting. Also, even though these speculations turns out to be true or not, the main takeaway is that Google is facing a tough task to differentiate its VoIP from its competitor, like Apple Siri. In any case, Google hasn't rolled out any update for its VoIP; therefore any news is good news at this point.

In Wakefield's EP, we hear bits of each of his favorite genres represented. From the soulful blues undertones in "Love is Blind, to the hints of rock and roll in "Blame it On Me", Wakefield covers everything that makes his music not only diverse, but unique. "I grew up on the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin... lots of music with soul. Southern rock and mainstream country have pretty much been mutually exclusive over the last decade or two, with the exception of The Cadillac Three, Eric Church and a few others. I feel like those are important roots for me to keep represented in my tunes. Nowadays, you're less likely to see an artist turn up the amplifiers and let it all hang out. Rock and roll has been taking a backseat for a while now, and I think it has a champion in mainstream country music if we can just embrace and welcome it," says Wakefield about what inspires the core of his music.

Have an opinion?
It depends on what style you mean... skinny jeans on girls are the best but pencil skirts are great too
Skirts or dresses are better in my opinion.
Skirts look prettier, but It really doesn't matter.
Jeans or nothing

It may have been karma or the United States telling the rogue Korean state who is the boss in the aftermath of the Sony hack fiasco, but North Korea went off the grid on Monday and made the Internet sizzle.
North Korea's Internet is going suspiciously haywire http://t.co/HbMTNAOrXp — jenni beattie (@jennibeattie)
December 23, 2014
Though there has been no comment from the authorities in Pyongyang, South Korean officials confirmed that Internet access to the North's official Korean Central News Agency and the Rodong Sinmun newspaper had resumed on Tuesday.
Though the two media entities are back online, the few hours of downtime created quite a buzz. It was largely suspected to be a cyber attack.
There are no clues as to who, if anyone, was behind it.
Read More: 5 Most Awful Things To Come Out Of The Sony Hack
U.S. President Barack Obama had vowed on Friday to respond to the major cyber attack, which he blamed on North Korea, "in a place and time and manner that we choose."
Washington, last Thursday, requested China's help, asking Beijing to shut down servers and routers used by North Korea that run through Chinese networks, senior administration officials told Reuters.
The United States also asked China to identify any North Korean hackers operating in China and, if found, send them back to North Korea. It wants China to send a strong message to Pyongyang that such acts will not be tolerated, the officials said.
However, by Monday, China had not responded directly to the U.S. requests.
Dan Holden of Arbor Networks, a network defense firm, thought all the technical evidence shows that the North Korean outage was more likely a denial of service attack (DDoS) – an intentional network traffic jam orchestrated by hackers.
"Much like a real-world strike from the U.S., you probably wouldn't know about it until it was too late. This is not the modus operandi of any government work," he wrote in a blog post.

Are they the same units used for regular airbrushing with paint or are they something different.
My airbrush is form a hobby shop so it is not specific to cakes but works just fine, I know a big cake decorating company here in sydney used to sell compact systems but not sure of the difference. You just have to make sure the colurs you are using are airbrush ready. I use americolour...actually they sell an airbrush kit.
I have an older one that is also a regular hobby one but only used for cakes. If you are considering buying, I would recommend checking out the noise levels when the compressor is running. Mine is quite loud, but I've seen many that are quieter (just can't afford a new one yet).
You can use a regular compressor and hose. Definitely get a new airbrush though, for sanitary reasons. I would recommend a smaller compressor with a gauge that will allow you to keep the pressure relatively low, not like the one you might have in the garage. Here is the one I have from Amazon:
Most airbrushes are built along the same lines.(except the aztec)
However I try to stay with the more well known brands. The reason is that a really cheap brush might just be cheap because it is made in China, or with re-cycled metals that have lead in them. That scares me. I know that Paasche, Kopy Kake, Airmaster,BAdger, Iwata, Grex, and Americolor are all reliable companies that back their products. Those above are all nickel plated brass.
Don't get a brush that has already been used- it needs to be food color only.
If you have a Tank aircompressor in the Garage, it has a gauge to regulate the air. I prefer the tank one because the air coming thru the hose is smoother- no vibration. You just buy and extension hose and leave the compressor in the garage and just the hose comes in.
If you don't have a compressor, any will work as long as it has a gauge to adjust the air flow.

Duct work must be clean and leak-free for proper operation. Insulated duct work keeps the cool air cool and the hot air hot inside the duct work. The goal is to keep the air inside the duct work isolated from outside air and pollution-free from the source to the output vents. This improves the efficiency of the heating and cooling system and adds to your comfort. A proper inspection of the existing duct work will determine how to make the repairs.
Things You'll Need
- Hand-held mirror
- Bright light
- Foil duct tape
- Utility knife
- Duct support straps
- Nylon pull ties
- Sheet metal screws that are self-taping
- Screwdriver
How to Fix Duct Work Under a House
Determine how dirty the duct is by looking inside. Locate a straight piece of duct that can be accessed from both ends. Place a bright light in the duct work at one end. Go to the other end, and use a mirror to look inside the duct. Place the mirror so the reflection reveals the duct's condition in the direction of the light. Use several different locations for the light and mirror until you have inspected the entire duct system. The amount of dust or pollution determines if it needs to be cleaned or replaced. You can hire contractors to clean the system using compressed air hoses and a powerful vacuum to blow and pull the dust out.
Locate any leaks that are in the duct work by feeling for air escaping from any direction around the ducts. Usually the connecting joints are the problem areas. Pull the insulation back to locate the exact location of the leak. Improperly supported ducts can sag and open up a leak. Metal ducts, fiber board and flexible insulated hose ducts are commonly found. Some systems contain all three types.
Push the pieces back together, and use self-taping sheet metal screws to attach the metal duct pieces together. Sheet metal ducts must have insulation covering them. Cover the complete duct with insulation, and use tape to secure it in place.
Use screws and foil tape to hold the fiber board duct pieces together. Add support straps or nylon ties to support the duct.
For flexible insulated hose ducts, use nylon ties and foil tape to hold the pieces together. Stretch the inner flexible hose over the metal connection, and tape it securely. Support the duct on support straps or nylon ties attached to the house.
Test for leaks after the repairs are made. Make sure the ducts are airtight with no leaks. Add enough support straps to counteract the effects of gravity. Support the duct in straight and level line to avoid future sagging or pressure at joints and connections.
Tips & Warnings
- Place plastic sheeting on the ground for a clean place to lay down if there is not much room in your crawl space. Keeping your filters clean prevents large amounts of dust from accumulating in your duct work. Attach support straps to the house at secure locations such as floor joist or beams, not the subfloor itself.
- Always take safety precautions and wear proper safety equipment while operating machinery or using hand tools.
