Dr. Victor Vernon Woolf is the chairman of the board of the US-based International Academy of Holodynamics and author of 10 books, including "The Dance of Life: Transform Your World Now!" He is an internationally known public speaker, an experienced trainer, seminar leader, therapist, and entrepreneur. Dr. Woolf has a bachelor's degree in physics, a master's degree in religious education and educational psychology and a doctorate in child development and family relations. Through books and workshops he teaches the science of Holodynamics. Holodynamics is the study of life energy and the human potential. It says we are in a living and ever-changing holographic information system whose structure is deeply connected with human consciousness. Our Supreme Master Television correspondent recently had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Vernon Woolf about this science. We begin with him providing a further explanation of the term "Holodynamics." Dr. Woolf (m): Basically it's reality. We live in a conscious universe. Here's one of the things we found out –that everything is driven by potential. It's David Bohm, his (book) "Science and the Implicate Order." He says, "Everything is driven by potential." So every set of circumstances where I am is driven by some potential. We figured out, well if we apply that, how does that apply to human problems? Every problem is driven by its solution. It means we've set the whole thing up. We designed it so we could manifest our potential. And people who get a hold of that dimension, suddenly realize it. But to get a hold of that dimension, you have to put on, new glasses. I call them holographic glasses.

Facts and Events
Ralph I of Vermandois (French: Raoul Ier "le Vaillant") (d 14 October 1152) was Count of Vermandois. He was son of Hugh I, Count of Vermandois, and Adelaide, Countess of Vermandois and paternal grandson of Henry I of France and while his mother had been heiress to Herbert IV of Vermandois.
His only paternal uncle was Philip I of France. Through him Raoul was a first cousin of Louis VI of France and a first cousin, once removed of Louis VII of France.
Ralph served as the seneschal of France during the reign of his cousin Louis VII. Under pressure from Queen consort Eleanor of Aquitaine, Louis allowed him to repudiate his wife Eleanor, daughter of Stephen, Count of Blois and Adela of Normandy and sister of the reigning King Stephen of England, in favor of Eleanor of Aquitaine's sister, Petronilla of Aquitaine. This led to a war with Theobald II of Champagne, who was the brother of Ralph's first wife Eleonore. The war lasted two years (1142–44) and ended with the occupation of Champagne by the royal army.
Ralph and Petronilla were excommunicated by Pope Innocent II for a marriage deemed illegitimate, overriding three bishops who had already annulled Ralph's prior marriage. The excommunication was dropped and Ralph's marriage sanctified a year later in 1143 by Pope Celestine II after Innocent died.

With the aim of helping farm producers manage nutrients and protect water quality, the Agricultural Nutrient Policy Council (ANPC) sponsored a drought and nutrients webinar for 800 crop advisors, farmers and others this past Wednesday. The webinar was developed and hosted by the American Society of Agronomy (ASA). Webinar participants heard from experts about successful strategies and methods to employ this fall and next spring to manage nutrients successfully for crop production and water quality. A podcast of the webinar featuring presentations from top nutrient management science experts and practitioners is available free of charge until Oct. 12, 2012, on the ASA website.
Helping farmers keep nutrients in the soil and crops and otherwise preventing nutrient losses from farm fields can add value for farmers while helping to protect water quality. The ANPC asked the ASA to conduct the webinar because the 2012 drought creates especially challenging conditions for farmers as they make nutrient management decisions this year and next.
The drought of 2012 has been devastating for many in agriculture. Farmers without crops to sell and livestock and poultry producers having to cull their herds know this first hand. Consumers will soon feel the effects in the grocery store through higher prices for many months to come. But there are many other effects, and one of these is how the abnormally dry conditions have made the already complex job of managing nutrients even more complex and difficult this fall and next year.
"The purpose of this webinar," said Don Parrish of the American Farm Bureau Federation and Chair of the ANPC, "was to get good science and practical advice into the hands of crop advisors and farmers quickly since many of them are already making fertilization decisions for next year. Depending on the field, crop and local weather there can be a lot of nutrients left over in the crop residue or soil that didn't get harvested in crops this year," Parrish added. "We want to help farmers use as many of those nutrients as possible for next year, saving them money and reducing the chance that nutrients will move into our waterways."
This year's drought highlights the effect of weather as the core challenge that farmers always face in trying to properly apply agricultural science to fertilizing crops. Farmers and ranchers study and know their land intimately. They know what their crops need. They know how to find and apply the right amount of nutrients, the right place to put them, the right time and in the right form. But every year, whether there is too little rain or too much rain, farmers and ranchers must ensure that enough nutrients are present in the soil to optimize food production. The degree to which the weather cooperates is completely beyond their control, and if it rains at the wrong time, or too much, or not at all, nutrients can be lost and crops suffer.
Adding to the complications that weather creates is the basic complexity of nutrient management itself. "Every farm or ranch, every field, every acre, every patch of ground can be and often is distinct and different," said Rod Snyder of the National Corn Growers and ANPC member. "This makes nutrient management for crop production equal parts science and an agricultural art," he added. "We hope that this webinar, and the host of good information that the agricultural universities and our private partners are providing to farmers about managing nutrients after a drought, will help farmers succeed at this very challenging task."
The topics covered in the webinar included an overview of the drought and its effects, principles of nutrient management, and a review of specific conditions and practical advice applicable to nitrogen, phosphorus and postassium management. The session closed with a review of the role of cover crops and the contribution they can make to help conserve nutrients.
Presenting at the webinar were Dr. Jim Camberato, Department of Agronomy at Purdue University, Dr. John Grove, Department of Plant and Soil Sciences at the University of Kentucky, Dr. Scott Murrell, North Central Director of the International Plant Nutrition Institute, Dr. Antonio Mallarino, Department of Agronomy at Iowa State University , and Mike Plumer, Coordinator at the Illinois Council on Best Management Practices. The materials that they used can be found at www.agronomy.org/education/managing-nutrients-drought-resources/.
The ANPC was formed two years ago and has approximately 40 farmer, agribusiness and research organization members. These include many of the major crop, livestock, poultry, general farm and research organizations. The ANPC was formed to assemble technical, legal and policy expertise to support the development and implementation of sound federal policies on agriculture, nutrients and water quality, and to advance best practices and practical solutions that work.

Diminished velocity doesn't concern CC or Girardi
TAMPA, Fla. -- CC Sabathia has grown tired of discussing the diminished velocity of his fastball, so the Yankees left-hander shrugged when he was informed that it had topped out at 88 mph in his first start of the spring.
"My fastball is what it is. If it gets better, it will," Sabathia said. "If it's not, it won't. I can pitch. I'm fine. As long as I'm healthy, I'll be good."
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that any chatter about Sabathia's velocity does not concern him.
"I don't make much of it," Girardi said. "That was something people wanted to make a ton about last year, and I'm not going to make much of it. To me, if he's downhill and locating, I don't care what his velocity is. He's going to get people out."
Sabathia looked solid as he faced the Phillies for two scoreless innings in Saturday's 4-0 win at George M. Steinbrenner Field, scattering two hits with a strikeout. Sabathia threw 16 of 24 pitches for strikes.
"I thought he looked good," Girardi said. "I loved the downhill plane. His location today, I thought, was really good."
In a conversation with pitching coach Larry Rothschild, Sabathia said that his first outing of the spring felt a lot like his final spring start of 2013, when he was trying to work back from left elbow surgery.
"I'm definitely ahead of where I was last year, so I feel good," Sabathia said. "I'm going to keep working, keep going out there trying to get better."
Girardi said that he saw Sabathia make some late-season mechanical adjustments last year, which have carried into his early work this spring. Sabathia said that he already feels like he has more arm strength. He wants to work on throwing strikes and being around the plate, staying behind his fastball and not allowing it to cut.
"I threw a lot of fastballs last year in the dirt," Sabathia said. "It was just about getting my release point back and getting a good feel. I was able to do that with a football, throwing a football, and then carry that over to the baseball this year in the offseason throwing program, so I feel good."

by T.W. Budig
ECM Capitol reporter
The voice of Minnesota was heard tonight, said Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton.
The Republican House on Monday (May 7) passed a Vikings stadium bill on a bipartisan 73 to 58 vote — it was a stronger vote than anyone anticipated, said Dayton, speaking shortly after conclusion of the eight-hour House floor debate.
"That's a great vote," said Dayton.
"This is a huge step forward," said the governor.
Rep. Morrie Lanning, R-Moorhead, House Vikings stadium author, saw his stadium bill leave the House floor largely intact.
The most significant change was brought by Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, who amended the bill to lower the state's commitment towards stadium construction costs from about $400 million to $300 million.
"It's not an easy decision," said Garofalo of pushing the red or green vote button on the stadium bill.
It's not a black and white issue, explained Garofalo, who voted for the bill.
Rep. Jim Abeler, R-Anoka, who also voted for the bill, thought Garofalo's amendment enticed some undecided lawmakers to support the bill.
Abeler, for one, believes leaving the stadium issue to fester without a resolution eventually would have the Vikings leaving Minnesota.
"It's always a bad thing to have an unhappy tenant," he said.
It's expected that Sen. Julie Rosen's Vikings stadium bill will heard on the Republican Senate floor today (Tuesday, May 8).
Rosen after the House vote could be seen hugging Lanning and congratulating her stadium colleague in the House.
But the stadium struggle continues, warned Dayton.
"Our work is not done," he cautioned a group of stadium supporters gathered in Governor's Reception Room.
"Any one of these is fatal," he said upcoming stadium votes.
One amendment in the House that touched the guts of Lanning's stadium bill was offered by Rep. Mike Benson, R-Rochester, who proposed removing the charitable gaming electronic pull-tabs and bingo provisions from the bill and replacing them with a menu of user fees.
Gambling unfairly exploits people who often are least able to afford losing money, Benson argued.
But Lanning countered by arguing that Benson's proposed 9.98 percent surcharge provision would means those buying hot dogs or Vikings jerseys at the stadium would be looking at sales taxes as high as 18 percent.
"It creates some real problems," said Lanning.
Rep. Michael Nelson, DFL-Brooklyn Park, was conflicted about Benson's amendment.
While he isn't wild about gambling, the Benson's delete-all amendment would get rid of Garofalo's amendment, Nelson explained.
Nelson expressed worry that the state would try to get by as cheaply as possible on the stadium.
That tactic helped create the current mess, he argued.
"Because we built it (the Metrodome) 30 years ago on the cheap, we're looking at replacing it," said Nelson.
He didn't want to bequeath to future lawmakers another stadium issue.
But Benson's amendment failed on a 74-57 vote.
Many of the 40 amendments offered by lawmakers failed on the House floor, but not all.
Rep. Steve Simon, DFL-St. Louis Park, successfully amended the bill to increase the "claw back" or amount of money the state would reap from the sale of the football team should Vikings ownership choose to sell.
Under Simon's amendment, the claw back would start at 25 percent, dropping one percent per year thereafter.
Simon, whose father worked as an agent for professional athletes, had a saying that professional sports teams will always plead poverty, his son recalled.
But it's just hardheaded business, Simon explained.
And increasing the claw back would be a good negotiation tool for House Republicans to bring into conference committee, Simon argued.
"I want to make sure the Vikings have skin in the game permanently," he said.
But many other attempts at amending the stadium bill came up short.
Rep. Linda Runbeck, R-Circle Pines, tried amending the bill to prevent blackouts of televised Vikings games.
"Hey, what about the average viewer, the average fan?" Runbeck asked.
But her amendment failed.
Rep. Bob Barrett, R-Shafer, proposed an amendment requiring the National Football League (NFL) to host a Super Bowl at the new stadium within three years of completion.
If the NFL failed to do so, Barrett sought to extract a financial penalty.
"This is an unnecessary amendment," said Lanning.
Building a new stadium would be an inducement to the NFL to host a Super Bowl in Minnesota and the penalty sent the wrong message, he argued.
On a voice vote, Barrett's amendment was voted down.
Rep. Peggy Scott, R-Andover, offered an amendment requiring that stadium contractors must screen potential employees through the federal E-verify check to determine whether they were eligible to work.
"This isn't a game to me," said Scott of the provision, saying American workers deserved the first shot at jobs.
But her amendment was rejected.
Rep. Keith Downey, R-Edina, attempted to amend the stadium bill to exempt contractors from paying the prevailing wage to stadium construction workers.
"I have enough confidence that laborers of Minnesota will offer the highest value," said Downey.
But Lanning strongly argued against the provision.
"Members, the amendment is a poison pill," said Lanning.
Downey's amendment on a voice vote was voted down.
Rep. Tom Hackbarth, R-Cedar, attempted to amend the bill to fund the stadium through a sales tax on fireworks — he sought to make more powerful fireworks legal in Minnesota.
The amendment failed.
But Hackbarth later gave a scathing assessment of the electronic pull-tabs and bingo revenue projections on which the state's debt service payments for stadium bonds would pivot.
Holding aloft a fiscal note, Hackbarth dismissed the estimates as woefully inaccurate.
"That ain't going to happen," he said of the projected gambling dollars actually filling state coffers.
A number of lawmakers — Garofalo, for one — urged colleagues to vote for the stadium bill to move the legislation forward in the process.
One Republican lawmaker, Rep. Torrey Westrom, R-Elbow Lake, explained he intended to do just that.
But Westrom also indicated that he wanted more than a stadium bill.
He also wanted a tax bill, he explained.
Dayton vetoed the Republican tax bill late last week.
"I hope the governor is listening," Westrom said.
Currently, the House stadium bill does not contain the referendum exemption for the city of Minneapolis that some Republican lawmakers found unacceptable.
The bill contains "blink-on" backup revenue provisions, designed to kick in if charitable gaming revenues fall short.
These include a surcharge on stadium box seats, the possible siphoning of excess Hennepin County Twins' ballpark revenues — a big enough menu to capture an additional $10 million a year if needed, explained Lanning.
Scores of Vikings stadium supporters and union members rallied at the State Capitol on Monday prior to and during the stadium debate.
For a time colorful array boxed the entrance to the House chamber, renewing their chants and cheers every time the doors would draw back to let people in and out of the chamber.
"There's so much support and enthusiasm for the stadium," said Dayton after a brief appearance at pro-stadium rally in the Capitol rotunda.
But Dayton was tight-lipped about the future prospects of the stadium initiative.
"It's too early for me to say," he said of the impact of Garofalo's amendment.
But Dayton was buoyed by the outcome of the House vote, thanking lawmakers who voted for the bill as well as House Speaker Kurt Zellers, R-Maple Grove, and House Majority Leader Matt Dean, R-Dellwood, for allowing the vote to take place.
"The voice of the Minnesota people were heard tonight," said Dayton of the vote.
Area House members voting for the bill: Abeler, Atkins, Benson, Davids, Dittrich, Fritz, Garofalo, Gottwalt, Hilstrom, Hortman, Knuth, Kriesel, LeMieur, McNamara, Nelson, Sanders, Simon, Tillberry, and Winkler.
Voting against: Anderson, B., Anderson, S., Barrett, Bills, Buesgens, Daudt, Dean, Dettmer, Downey, Erickson, Hackbarth, Hansen, Holberg, Kieffer, Kiffmeyer, Laine, Lenczewski, Loon, Mack, McDonald, Myhra, Peppin, Petersen, B., Runbeck, Scott, Wardlow, and Zellers.

Tires – the very mention of them can conjure up opinions, emotions, and spirited conversation. However, when you get right down to it, it's usually not the tire that's the subject matter, but some aspect of it's warranty. Tires are among the most important replacement parts that we purchase for our vehicles. We expect them to last for years – or at least as long as their advertised life. But tires do wear out prematurely, or we get a flat. At some point, a tire will have to be repaired or replaced – and it's at this point it's good to know about tire warranties.
Tire Life
Most tire manufacturers have determined that the usable life of a tire is either six years from the date of purchase or when there's just 2/32nds of an inch of tread left. While there's no federal law regulating tire wear, the 2/32nds measurement has been adopted by most states, and Maine is no exception.
There are at least two indicators that a tire is nearing the end of its life. Tires sold in North America are required to have tread-wear indicators, which are found in the tire tread's grooves. The wear indicators look like small bars of tread that run perpendicular to the groove. If the wear of the tire has reached these indicators, it's time for a new tire.
Another measure is the old-school penny method. Put a penny in the groove of the tire, upside down and with Lincoln's head facing you. The distance from the top of Lincoln's head to the edge of the coin is about 2/32nds of an inch. So if the top of Lincoln's head is showing, you'll need to replace the tire. This is only a safety indicator, not a way to support any type of claim that a tire has worn out prematurely.
Tread-Life Warranties
Every tire manufacturer offers tread-life warranties. The tread-life estimate is based on the type of tire and the number of miles that can be expected under normal driving conditions, For example, high-performance tires are softer and have a lower mileage estimate than the harder compound tires typically found on economy cars.
If a tire has worn out evenly across the tread well before its estimated mileage limit, it may qualify for replacement. You must show proof of purchase and proof that the tires were rotated properly at the recommended mileage points. Depending on where you purchased the tires from, proof of alignments at the required intervals may also be required. In this situation, the manufacturer or tire dealer prorates the cost of the new tire based on the percentage of remaining tread on the old tire and the price of the replacement tire.
For example, if you have a tire with an 80,000-mile warranty and you were only able to get 60,000 miles of life out of it, you haven't reached the mileage threshold that you should have reached, – so you are owed 20,000 miles. This savings will be calculated towards your next set of tires.
Some notable exceptions to tread-life warranties are winter tires and split-size fitments. Just about all winter tires have no warranty due to the much softer compounds. Also, certain vehicles have different-size tires that cannot be rotated using the traditional method. Be sure to check with your tire dealer about tread life warranties (if any) with these unique tires before purchasing.

At 10 p.m. on April 20, seven minutes after the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig exploded, the search-and-rescue alarm went off at the U.S. Coast Guard Air Training Center in Mobile, Ala. Pilot Lt. Andy Greenwood and his crew headed for their HC-144 Ocean Sentry, a CASA CN-235 twin turboprop, for the 115-mile flight. "We were at 4,000 feet when we hit the Gulf, and we could already see the fire," Greenwood said. "As we got closer, the guys in the back had to take off their NVGs [night vision goggles]."
Eventually so did the crew of 6605, an HH-65C (Eurocopter Dolphin) helicopter based at CGAS New Orleans, 130 miles from the Horizon. They got the alarm at 10:10 p.m., were airborne 18 minutes later and arrived first on scene at 11 p.m. Lt. Cmdr. Tom Hickey and his crew were all veterans of Hurricane Katrina five years ago, but that did not prepare them for what they were about to see. Climbing through 500 feet, still 115 miles away, they could see the fire with their NVGs.
Cougar 92 also got the call and was spooling up on the pad in Galliano, La. The medevac-equipped Cougar Helicopters Sikorsky S-76 was en route to the BP Na Kika, a rig 14 miles southeast of the Horizon. Its mission was to set up medical triage for the Horizon's casualties, assist the Coast Guard and evacuate the critically injured to hospitals on shore.
More aircraft queued up behind this procession and soon would be
en route: another HH-65C from New Orleans and an HH-65C and HH-60 JayHawk from Mobile. In the early morning hours, a civilian EMS helicopter also made a patient pick-up from the Na Kika, and relief HH-65s would arrive as dawn approached.
"There is a choreography for the Coast Guard and its SAR [search-and-rescue] operators," said Hickey.
En route to the Horizon, Hickey and Greenwood had time to think through the risks and began communicating with each other and the other rescue aircraft. Hickey set up a common traffic frequency and contacted Cougar 92. He and his crew also talked among themselves about how they would approach the Horizon. "We knew there were fuel bowsers on the Horizon, but we didn't know if they had exploded or were going to explode." Hickey asked his crew if they were comfortable going in for a closer look to check for survivors in the water at the base of the rig. They said they were, but "we all quickly agreed that it was going to be in, one circle, one pass and out."
The crew turned on the searchlights and dropped to 35 feet over the water to stay below the heat plume. They got within 100 feet of the Horizon. They did one slow close loop around the rig, but found nothing.
Hickey passed scene command to Greenwood in the HC-144. The turbo- prop began orbiting several miles off the rig at 1,500 feet. Even at that distance and altitude, Greenwood said he could feel the fire's heat on the cockpit windows. The HC-144 ensured that the helicopters stayed separated and coordinated. Meanwhile, below it, the dance in the burning sky and on the water continued. The platform supply vessel Bankston picked up 115 survivors from the water. Coast Guard helicopters lowered their rescue swimmers onto the Bankston to set up medical triage, hoisted injured survivors off the boat and flew them to the Na Kika. Then they either returned to the Bankston for more hoists or to the waters around the Horizon to search for the 11 missing rig workers. The last patient was hoisted off at 3 a.m., but the searching continued. Hickey and his crew landed back in New Orleans after flying for just over seven hours.
"I'll never forget what it looked like," said Greenwood. "The flames easily went up over 500 feet and the smoke went as far as we could see."
On a human scale, the scenes were battlefield haunting. Hickey said the rescue swimmers dropped onto the Bankston saw the worst of it–oil workers with skull and compound fractures and third-degree burns. He specifically remembers one badly injured man they flew to the Na Kika. "He was really messed up, but he's alive. Bottom line."

BUTCHER Peter Hanley is a cut above the rest when it comes to food hygiene.
Mr Hanley, 57, who has run Cotswold Prime Meats, in Barnard Parade, Stonehouse for 14 years, received five stars - the maximum number available - in the National Food Hygiene Rating Scheme.
He is particularly pleased with the rating because the store narrowly missed out on the top accolade 18 months ago.
"The health people just show up unexpectedly and I only got four stars last time because I didn't have a piece of paperwork on hand to show them," said Mr Hanley, who has lived in Bowbridge, Stroud for 24 years.
"I was so annoyed with myself and was determined not to make the same mistake again and let the five stars slip between my fingers."
Recently, a Stroud District Council health inspector showed up again for another inspection and Mr Hanley was given the chance to prove that his shop was in fact five star material.
"The health inspector told me at the time that she was going to mark me down with a five, at first I wasn't sure if I had heard it right," said Mr Hanley, a father of four.
"People who get five are far and few between so it is absolutely great to now be one of them."
Between July, 2012 and January this year, only 52 out of 150 premises inspected in the Stroud area were awarded five stars in the Food Standards Agency rating scheme, which is implemented by Stroud District Council.
"I'm glad I can now hang those five stars on the shop wall with pride," said Mr Hanley who used to manage Bainbridge's Butchers in Stroud.
Stroud District Council posts all the food hygiene scores for businesses in the area at www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk

A ST Mary Bourne conservation trust is at the heart of efforts to save Britain's last remaining native crayfish from extinction.
The Vitacress Conservation Trust has teamed up with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust to maintain the crayfish's chalkstream habitat, which is prominent along the River Itchen and essential for their survival.
White-clawed crayfish, Britain's only native species, could be extinct within the next 30 years. In the UK their population has been slashed by 95 per cent because of pollution, incesticides and diseases carried by other species of crayfish.
They were declared globally endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 2010.
Dr Ben Rushbrook, of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust said: 'We are very grateful to the Vitacress Conservation Trust for funding this essential work. This partnership represents a very important step forward in increasing the likelihood of ensuring the long-term survival of this species in Hampshire."
The Vitacress Conservation Trust joins the Environment Agency, Natural England and the Bristol Zoological Society as key partners supporting the Southern Chalkstreams Project.

Bacterial resistance to current antibiotics is widespread and growing exponentially, compromising doctors' ability to treat serious infections in patients receiving care both in hospitals and in the community. Governments, non-governmental agencies and the medical community have called for increased urgency and decisive action to combat what has been called the "epidemic of antibiotic-resistance"[1]. Allecra's mission is to contribute to this cause by developing new treatments which overcome emerging bacterial resistance mechanisms, thereby saving lives of patients whose infections may otherwise may be inadequately treated.
Nicholas Benedict, Allecra's CEO said, "To combat the increasing threat of bacterial resistance the medical community is trying to conserve the use of currently available antibiotics. At the same time, the biopharmaceutical industry is working to find new antibiotics. These objectives are complimentary activities in the increasingly urgent battle against bacterial resistance. Allecra has been formed in order to find new cures for some of the most widespread and hardest to treat resistant infections."
Commenting on this partnership, Orchid's Chairman & Managing Director, Mr K. Raghavendra Rao said, "We have always believed in building collaborative business models to achieving our vision. This strategic partnership with Allecra is yet another demonstration of how we can create value by harnessing the relative strengths of each company."
Holger Reithinger of Forbion Capital Partners and member of Allecra's Board said, "It is our shared objective at Allecra to deliver to the medical community novel treatments to help fight the epidemic of bacterial resistance. We have a specialist team, each of whom is deeply experienced in the development of antibiotics and which collectively is supported by a world-leading group of Opinion Leaders."
Olivier Litzka of Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners and member of Allecra's Board added, "Allecra's strategic partnership with Orchid is an innovative collaboration bringing together Allecra's strong development capability with Orchid's track record in antibiotic research and manufacturing. Allecra is supported by a Scientific Advisory Board consisting of world-renowned experts and Allecra's Board of Directors comprises key appointments of entrepreneurs and industrialists with records of success in this area. This is a new company built on a solid foundation for success."

Hey everyone
I'm hoping to get some constructive criticism in terms of my driving technique. I'm quite new to DG but am already mad about it and play as often as I can with the guys in the local area in the UK. I've already posted a few videos so far on FB which has caused a fair bit of traffic but a number of people also suggested posting them on here for a more diverse set of perspectives.
I have a number of drives that have been filmed over the past couple of weeks so you'll notice a number of things may have changed in my technique from the advice I've already received. Firstly, at the beginning I seem to have been doing a heel spin without even knowing it which apparently is good so that's cool however I was also using a pretty straight approach and using mainly 'arm' to throw. I'm now trying to move towards more of an 'elbow punch' technique so am using a more curved approach which is working really well as I'm definitely getting more distance with more consistent flights however oddly, I seem to have lost the heel spin which I understand means I'll also be losing rotational speed and therefore potential distance
The other thing to mention is that the first 2 videos were shot in the wet and the 3rd video was a little rushed so these aren't fully representative however the last 4 were in good conditions and not rushed so no excuses can be made there.
Please feel free to give whatever tips you can.

- JPMorgan Chase (JPM) has seen its stock return 30% year-to-date, through Friday's close at $41.82. The shares have recovered most of the value they lost following CEO James Dimon's announcement in late May that the company was facing large second-quarter losses from trading activities within its Chief Investment Office. JPMorgan announced soon after that it was suspending its share buyback program, but after the company achieved a $5 billion second-quarter profit, despite $4.4 billion in hedge trading losses, Dimon said that the company might be able to resume buybacks in the fourth quarter, subject to Federal Reserve approval. The shares trade for 1.3 times tangible book value, according to Thomson Reuters Bank Insight, and for eight times the consensus 2013 earnings estimate of $5.21 a share, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. The company will kick off third-quarter earnings season for the large banks on Friday, with a consensus EPS estimate of $1.22. KBW analyst David Konrad as a $49 price target for JPM.
- Citigroup (C) closed at $34.77 Friday, returning 32% year-to-date, following last year's 44% decline. The shares are trade for 0.7 times tangible book value, and for eight times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $4.53. The company will announce its third-quarter results next Monday, with the consensus among analysts being a 96-cent profit. Konrad last Tuesday upgraded Citi to an "Outperform" rating, from "Market Perform," while raising his price target for the shares by four dollars to $44. The analyst said that even though the shares appeared "cheap," the "primary drivers" of the upgrade included "1) expectations for continued run-off of Citi Holdings following QE3; 2) improving Basel III capital ratio; 3) expectations for capital deployment in 2013; and 4) expectations for continued market share gains in global trade finance."
- Shares of Goldman Sachs (GS) closed at $119.31 Friday, returning 34% year-to-date, following a 46% drop during 2011. The shares trade just below tangible book value, and for 9.5 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $12.55. The company will announce its third-quarter results on Oct. 16, with a consensus EPS estimate of $2.12. Konrad's price target for Goldman's shares is $145, and the analyst on Thursday said that "despite a sluggish seasonal quarter, we expect Goldman to put up pretty solid results given the improvement in market values, relatively stable volatility and market share gains in its merger and acquisition business." The analyst raised his third-quarter operating EPS estimate for Goldman to $2.15 from $1.68.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In a hot market for bank stocks, it may pay for long-term investors to consider smaller community banks in addition to the large-caps that receive so much daily coverage. After a second-quarter hiccup, bank stocks have been strong, despite several near-term challenges for the industry. Following a 25% decline during 2011, the KBW Bank Index ( I:BKX) has risen 30% year-to-date, and 12% since the end of June. While it was easy to spot potential bargains at the end of last year, by isolating undervalued names to those trading quite low to tangible book value, things are not so simple now, and returning to a focus on names with strong business models and growth potential seems the order of the day. Among the "big four" U.S. banks and the largest two investment banks, KBW rates three names outperform heading into third-quarter earnings:

MINNEAPOLIS — Target has partnered with FEED Projects, a social business founded by Lauren Bush Lauren, to create the FEED USA + Target collection. The limited-time-only collection will include more than 50 stylish products and benefit Feeding America, the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity. The products will be available beginning June 30 at Target stores and on Target.com.
"As the founder of FEED, I am passionate about the fight against hunger and am thrilled to partner with Target to create our first ever co-branded lifestyle collection," said Lauren Bush Lauren. "Through product sales, we hope to provide 10 million meals to Americans in need, which would make it the largest U.S. initiative in FEED's history. I am proud that we will be able to empower guests to make a measurable impact through the purchase of the FEED USA + Target collection."
Featuring an Americana aesthetic, the collection includes products spanning home, sporting goods, stationery, and apparel and accessories, with prices ranging from $3.00 to $400.00. Each product displays the number of meals that will be donated to children and families through Feeding America as a result of the purchase. The collection, with its modern, casual and hand-crafted feel, was co-designed by Lauren Bush Lauren.
"Establishing meaningful partnerships is part of Target's brand legacy, from innovative design collaborations to long-term community programs," said Stacia Andersen, senior vice president, merchandising, Target. "Through our partnership with FEED, we are offering our guests an exclusive, stylish collection that also supports an important cause."
FEED began in 2006 when Lauren Bush Lauren designed a bag to benefit the United Nations World Food Programme's School Feeding program. Followed by that success, Lauren founded FEED Projects LLC in 2007 with the mission to create good products that help feed the world. Best known for its iconic burlap bags, FEED's projects to date have raised enough funds to provide nearly 60 million school meals to children around the world.

FutureLipo-Hanabi is able to release a lot of molecules anytime and anywhere. Such versatility is essential in potential applications as follows.
Example 1 Sensing and curing inflammations in blood vesselsInflammation in blood vessels is a typical symptom difficult to diagnose. Therefore, they could get worse while you don't even notice it. The only way to detect blood vessel inflammation is to do a constant physical checkup. Lipo-Hanabi enables us to detect inflammations easily and gives us enough time to cure them.
Specific design will be as follows. C-reactive protein (CRP) is released in the inflammation. So we can use Liposomes conjugated with phosphorylcholine (one of phosphatides react with CRP) as the 1st stage detector for Lipo-Hanabi system. Then the 2nd stage liposomes release medicine at inflammation area effectively.
Applications of Lipo-Hanabi are not limited to inflammations. As it can sense even very faint trigger signal and releases large amount of drugs, it would help us to detect cancer cells in early stage while they are curable with small amount of anti-cancer agents.
Fig.1 Sensing and curing inflammations in blood vessels
Example 2 molecular fuel supplyFocusing on the chain-reaction, Lipo-Hanabi can be applied to long-lasting batteries for molecular engines. If fuel for the molecular engines (such as ATP) is packed inside the liposome, they can constantly supply fuels to the molecular motor by a specific external signal. This kind of fuel supply system will be very useful to realize self-sustained molecular robots in the future.

Two DVDs and an audio CD produced by author Jeffrey Smith that explain why genetically modified organisms (GMOs) put our health and environment at risk. The first DVD is the award-winning European documentary, Unnatural Selection, revealing harsh consequences of genetic engineering on three continents. The second DVD is the acclaimed Hidden Dangers in Kids' Meals, an expose' by Smith and a host of scientists. The CD, You're Eating What?, is a compelling talk by Smith on how biotech companies rigged research, hid health dangers, and pressured government regulators to approve GM food long before the science was ready. A must for those concerned about our food supply, the environment, and our future.
In the mid 1970s Eden played a key role in developing the organic certification processes and drafted the first American standards for 'field to shelf' organic food production. Eden was the first food manufacturer to speak out against irradiation, genetically engineered organisms (GEOs), and threats to organic standards. With the advent of national regulations of 'organic' by the USDA came the lobbyists on behalf of big business pleading for cheaper and easier ways. They want practices and contamination allowed that are contrary to the principles of organic agriculture and they have been successful. We encourage vigilance.
The GMO Trilogy is a newly released set featuring two DVDs and a CD produced by best selling author Jeffrey Smith that explain why genetically modified organisms (GMOs) put our health and environment at risk. The first DVD is an award-winning European documentary, Unnatural Selection. It features scientist and environmental activist Dr. Vandana Shiva, bioethicist and director of the International Center for Technology Assessment Andrew Kimbrell, Canadian farmer Percy Schmeiser whose canola field was contaminated by Monsanto's Roundup Ready gene, and others. It reveals several of the harsh consequences of genetic engineering on three continents, including uncontrollable, self-replicating GM canola contamination in Canada, a failed GM cotton crop and farmer suicides in India, GM salmon that might wipe out natural fish populations, and deformed GM livestock created by the U.S. government.
The second DVD is the critically acclaimed Hidden Dangers in Kids' Meals. John Robbins, best selling author, says "Hidden Dangers pierces the myth that our government is protecting our food supply." Jeffrey Smith and a host of scientists explain that:
• The overwhelming consensus by FDA scientists was that GM foods are inherently hazardous and may contain poisons or allergens. They urged their superiors to require long-term safety studies, but were ignored by the political appointees including biotech giant Monsanto's former attorney who was placed in charge of FDA policy.
• GM-fed animals had damaged immune systems, stunted growth, organ lesions, sterility, high death rates, and increased mortality among offspring. Serious human problems have been reported as well.
• Children are most at risk from the potential dangers, but there are steps parents and schools can take to protect them.
The Trilogy also contains the audio CD You're Eating What?, a compelling talk by Jeffrey Smith about how biotech companies rigged research, hid health dangers, and pressured government regulators to approve GM food long before the science was ready. Craig Winters of The Campaign to Label Genetically Engineered Food calls it, "The most powerful presentation I have ever heard on the issue of genetically engineered foods."
If you haven't already, check out Jeffrey Smith's Seeds of Deception on Eden's web site; a captivating, profound, yet easy reading exposé of how biotech industry manipulation and political collusion has allowed hundreds of dangerous genetically engineered foods into our daily diet without our permission or even knowing it.

Freese pulled from lineup with tightness in right quad
DETROIT -- Angels third baseman David Freese was scratched from the lineup on Friday, hours before the series opener against the Tigers at Comerica Park.
Freese was still feeling the effects of a right quadriceps muscle that tightened up during his last at-bat on Wednesday, which preceded a Thursday off-day, but neither he nor manager Mike Scioscia deem it serious.
Asked late Friday night if he'd be in the starting lineup for the Saturday afternoon game, the 30-year-old Freese wasn't sure. But he was available to pinch-hit during the Angels' eventual 11-6 win Friday night.
"I'll just get some treatment on it and see how it goes, see how I feel tomorrow," said Freese, who entered the road trip with the third-lowest OPS among qualifiers (.414).

Butler starts on bench, but fills in late
CHICAGO -- Rarely has Billy Butler been out of the Royals' starting lineup, especially against a left-handed pitcher, but that was the case on Wednesday.
Butler began the game on the bench, although the White Sox started lefty Jose Quintana. Danny Valencia took over Butler's usual designated-hitter spot. Both are right-handed batters.
"We need some production from that spot right now," manager Ned Yost said.
That took Valencia out of a platoon role with the left-handed-hitting Mike Moustakas, who was at third base on Wednesday.
"I wanted Valencia to DH today. He does good against lefties," Yost said. "Moose is swinging the bat good and Danny is swinging the bat good."
Moustakas had two home runs in Tuesday night's 7-1 win.
In addition, Butler had not done well against Quintana, facing him more than anyone else in the Majors. Butler was 5-for-24 (.208) with no extra-base hits against him entering play Wednesday.
Moustakas, despite going left-vs.-left, had hit well against Quintana, 8-for-22 (.364), with two home runs heading into Wednesday's action. Valencia had faced Quintana just eight times, getting two hits.
"He told me to take a day," Butler said. "It's been a long year and you just need a day here and there. It's not my choice; he makes the lineup. So I'll just go out there and support the team."
That's what Butler did until the eighth inning. At that point, first baseman Eric Hosmer's bruised hand forced him out of the lineup. Butler pinch-hit for Hosmer, and reliever Ronald Belisario hit him with a pitch.
Butler also took over at first base for the last two innings of the 2-1 victory. He had played first base in Hosmer's place in the first two games of the series.
Butler came up again in the ninth inning, after the Royals had scored the go-ahead run, and grounded into an inning-ending double play.
This has been a tough season for Butler, who is hitting .266 with three homers, 20 doubles and 36 RBIs in 99 games. That's well below his usual production, and he's been dropped out of the third and fourth spots in the batting order.
Butler has hit into 17 double plays, the most in the American League.
"Look around the league, the guys that lead the league in double plays every year hit the ball low and hard," Butler said. "That's how it is. I can't change my style. ... The combination of hitting the ball hard and [I'm] really slow. That doesn't help, either."

K-State Agricultural Research Center-Hays
At K-State's Agricultural Research Center in Hays, Guorong Zhang is a wheat breeder whose research focuses on trying to improve the wheat crop by developing new varieties with adaptation to western Kansas, including the latest new variety—a hard red winter wheat named KS09H19-2-3, or Oakley CL.
Development of Oakley CL began in 2002, and in late 2013, K-State's Agricultural Research Center released it. Its registered and certified seed is expected to become available in 2015, while test plots will continue to be analyzed in 2014. Zhang said Oakley CL came from a three-way cross, so it has three parents that contribute to its high yield potential, Beyond herbicide tolerance, drought tolerance, disease resistance, and good quality for milling and baking. It also has good straw strength and grain shattering resistance to combat high winds in western Kansas, and it has good resistance to pre-harvest sprouting.
"The Beyond herbicide resistance actually comes from one parent, Above. Above is the first publicly released one-gene Clearfield wheat variety," Zhang said. "The other two parents are Danby—the most popular white variety in western Kansas—and another parent from our own breeding lines. From Above, this variety inherited its herbicide resistance. From Danby, it inherited some drought tolerance, so it has performed very well in western Kansas. The third parent had the wheat streak mosaic virus resistance. Stripe rust resistance might come from both Danby and the third parent."
Oakley CL, Zhang said, shows strong resistance to stripe rust, a fungal disease that causes wheat to have yellow or orange blister-like lesions arranged in stripes. He has tested it for both 2010 and 2012 races of stripe rust.
"In 2012, the race was changed, so a lot of varieties that were resistant in 2010 became susceptible in 2012," Zhang said. "Another major disease resistance for this variety is wheat streak mosaic virus resistance. Now in the market, very few varieties have the wheat streak mosaic virus resistance. It is a virus disease that is hard to control with any fungicide, so we have to rely on the variety resistance."
In addition to disease resistance, many producers want to know the yield potential for new varieties, Zhang said. In two years of dryland testing in northwest Kansas, Oakley CL had more than a 5 percent higher yield than Danby. It also is comparable with other Clearfield wheat varieties in western Kansas, as it had an 11 percent higher yield than the one-gene Clearfield variety Above in the 2011 Clearfield Qualification trial in Hays and a 6 percent higher yield than the two-gene Clearfield variety Brawl CL Plus in the 2013 Kansas Wheat Performance Test trial at northwestern Kansas testing sites.
Oakley CL also shows good results for end product testing—milling and baking.
"This variety has a good flour yield and also a very good mixing tolerance and a good loaf volume," Zhang said. "If this variety can be planted in larger acreage, then the millers and bakers will have good wheat to process."
A video about Oakley CL is available on the K-State Research and Extension YouTube page.

With the higher price of corn and soybeans earned by farmers the last three years and projected for the future, it appears that Midwest farmers are not going to be rotating to less profitable crops just for soil quality and environmental concerns.
That is why there is a need to come up with corn and soybean cropping systems that don't cost farmers more than their current system, improves crop production performance and doesn't appear to be hurting farmers' fields, but actually improving them.
"Our role is to try crazy ideas and see if they work. It is up to industry to make them work in the real world," said Ken Moore, Iowa State University, a teacher and researcher agronomy professor. Moore has overseen five years of continuous corn with a perennial cover crop research project.
Moore's preferred perennial cover crop in the ISU trial has been Kentucky bluegrass. The grass is not killed from year to year. "You treat it like a weed in the spring, and you treat it in the summer like a mulch, and you treat it in the fall like a cover crop," Moore said. "We don't kill it in the spring; we just set it back by burning it off with a product like Paraquat. It is not really competing with the corn plant directly for nutrients all that seriously."
The above ground foliage is killed, but the roots are alive, and it comes back if there is water during the growing season. Putting the grass into something like a hibernation state during the early spring is necessary. It is important to control the potentially competitive grass so "that corn can achieve its maximum yield potential."
In the five years of plot trials, the planting strips and the grass between rows have been kept constant. "It might make sense at some point to reseed and re-establish the strips different than where the rows have been," Moore said.
"This is the first year of the five that the system didn't really perform well," Moore explained. "I can tell you it doesn't work in a drought, at least not a drought to the extent that we had this year."
"I've talked to people who laugh us off until I tell them we harvested 240 bushels of corn per acre in perennial cover crop plots, actually multiple plots in 2011."
He said, "We have been trying to tell producers in particular that this is a pretty brittle system and not something you should try. It is more likely to fail than work at this point, although we do believe it can work, and we have been able to demonstrate that four out of five years."
Industry needs to step up to help farmers to meet the environmental issues that are going to become more of a concern instead of going away. Regulatory oversight appears to be increasing, and the general public is blaming farmers for polluting the environment—soil erosion, nitrate water pollution and more.
One of the ideas of using a perennial cover crop has to do with the potential for allowing a high level of corn stover to be harvested for cellulosic ethanol while helping soil quality and still limiting soil erosion.
Moore suggests that seed companies need to invest in developing hybrids, other crop varieties and cover crops specifically for perennial cover crop systems. "I think the onus is on the industry, the seed industry in particular to make this system practical. It answers a lot of problems. The environmental issues keep coming up and up; they are real problems for the industry that need to be addressed in some way, and this is one way. It might not be the only or best way, but it is a way they should take a look at."

I am delighted to find Dharmma Wheel. My spiritual journey is a long and varied one, enough to say that I am returning to my Buddhist study and hope to establish a firm daily practice. I have studied Buddhism on and off throughout much of my adult life and now at 62, and retired, I find this strong attraction once again. This morning I read with great interest the the topic: Theravada and Zen - a comparative analysis. What a great topic for discussion and one that I currently have a keen interest in.
My greetings to all on Dharmma Wheel....Larry

I am a list maker.
I make shopping lists. I make to-do lists. I make stock lists. Each night when I do my statistics I make a list of positive and negative indicators. I even buy steno pads in bulk because they have the line down the center of the page so that my lists are separated. And yes, I do wonder why they still make steno pads. Does anyone take dictation anymore?
With that as background let me share two lists I made on Thursday with you. The first list was rather depressing so let's begin with that one. It's a list of all that is "wrong" with the world.
- The Mideast is in turmoil and it appears to be worsening, not getting better.
- China has a new leader and its economy is still rather iffy.
- Europe is officially in recession.
- The U.S. has the fiscal cliff and a Congress full of politicians who would rather be dogmatic than practical.
- Folks stopped hiding in bonds a few days ago.
- Folks stopped hiding in gold a few days ago.
- We top-ticked on the Fed's QE announcement in September, so the realization is setting in that the Fed cannot pull another rabbit out of its hat.
- Apple (AAPL) is actually a market problem now. It's the old live-by-the-sword-die-by-the-sword-situation. Too many owned it going up and too many own it going down.
Now here's my list of indicators:
- We are oversold. If we don't bounce before Tuesday, we will be maximum oversold by then.
- The 30-day moving average of the advance/decline line will be back to oversold by the end of the day on Tuesday as well.
- The what-if for the McClellan Summation Index is over +4000 (see yesterday's column for a full explanation of this indicator).
- The Transports have not made a lower low, yet.
- The put/call ratio went over 120% on Thursday, but the 10-day moving average of this indicator is not at the point where we typically get a decent market low, it is only heading there.
- The number of stocks making new lows expanded yet again.
- Sentiment leans bearish. A few more down days would get it to an extreme.
- The VIX refuses to get jumpy.
To sum up those two lists, the news is downright awful. The market is oversold. Sentiment leans bearish, but is far from panicky. There are no positive divergences.
The standard routine is a bounce and another trip down to retest. So far, we can't even get a bounce that lasts longer than 10 minutes. I think we should bounce sometime next week, but I must admit I don't even know what sort of news could rally the market. I tried making a list and came up empty handed. I am open to suggestions, so shoot me an e-mail if you have any. The only thing I came up with was my mother calling asking if she should sell.

iMac Prices Hit the Floor
Posted by Frank Bisono Categories: Apple, Hot Deals, PC / Laptop
As of this morning, Apple slashed the price of its 20-inch 2.1GHz PowerPC-based iMac. Pricing for the G5 based iMac dropped $199 from $1699 to $1499. Pricing remains the same on the 17" iMac model. If you really want to grab a bargain basement price on either of these machines, head over to Amazon where you can pick up the 20" G5 iMac for $1349.99 or the 17" model for $1174.99. Although the new Intel based iMacs are smokin' hot machines, the G5 based models are still more than adequate for most average users needs. Don't miss out on this great deal!

Hi all,
The query must not include people whose postcode is not within the given distance.
SELECT people.* , (((acos(sin((51.51777*pi()/180)) * sin((latitude*pi()/180))+cos((51.51777*pi()/180)) * cos((latitude*pi()/180)) * cos(((-0.079501- longitude)*pi()/180))))*180/pi())*60*1.1515) AS distance FROM people WHERE people.archived = '0' AND distance <= '5' ORDER BY distance DESC, people.name ASC, people.surname ASC LIMIT 0, 50
I'm getting the following error:Unknown column 'distance' in 'where clause'
However, if I remove distance <= '5' from the WHERE clause, it works and furthermore, in my php looping through the rows, 'distance' is clearly being defined as I'm able to print the distance.
Thanks in advance,
AFAIK you cant use aliases in the order by clause.
select *
from (select people.*,
SIN((latitude*PI()/180))+COS((51.51777*PI()/180)) *
COS((latitude*PI()/180)) * COS(((-0.079501- longitude)*
PI()/180))))*180/PI())*60*1.1515) as distance
from people
where archived = 0) dt
where distance <= 5
order by distance desc,
name asc,
surname asc
limit 0, 50
They can be used in an order by clause, not in a where clause.
Thank you very much swampBoogie.
lol knew it was somewhere in there!
A new level of complication...
select * from (SELECT people.* , (((acos(sin(('52.031130458238'*pi()/180)) * sin((latitude*pi()/180))+cos(('52.031130458238'*pi()/180)) * cos((latitude*pi()/180)) * cos((('0.75861321496378' - longitude)*pi()/180))))*180/pi())*60*1.1515) AS distance FROM people IF( people.postcode != '', LEFT JOIN ordnance_survey_locations ON people.postcode = ordnance_survey_locations.postcode , LEFT JOIN counties ON people.county = counties.id ) WHERE people.archived = '0' ) dt WHERE distance <= 60 ORDER BY distance ASC, name ASC, surname ASC LIMIT 0, 50
The above is my failed attempt at joining the ordnance survey table of postcodes if postcode != '', or the counties table if postcode = ''.I've also tried a CASE statement but to no avail.
For each county I have a central longitude/latitude - so it's a rough backup plan in the absence of a postcode.
I'd appreciate any help you could give.
I've just realised that there's no such thing as a conditional left join because both joins need to happen. So the real question is, how do I determine where the longitude/latitude info is coming from?
select * from (SELECT candidates.* , (((acos(sin(('57.148265504629'*pi()/180)) * sin((IF(candidates.postcode != '',latitude,c_latitude)*pi()/180))+cos(('57.148265504629'*pi()/180)) * cos((IF(candidates.postcode != '',latitude,c_latitude)*pi()/180)) * cos((('-2.0930410110683' - IF(candidates.postcode != '',longitude,c_longitude))*pi()/180))))*180/pi())*60*1.1515) AS distance FROM candidates LEFT JOIN ordnance_survey_locations ON candidates.postcode = ordnance_survey_locations.postcode LEFT JOIN counties ON candidates.county = counties.id WHERE candidates.archived = '0' ) dt WHERE distance <= 40 ORDER BY distance ASC, name ASC, surname ASC LIMIT 0, 50
dear spitfireweb
in future threads, would you kindly do us a really big favour and please consider ~not~ posting your code all on one single humoungously long line, because although computers have no problem with it, human beings find scrolling and scrolling and scrolling a complex sql statement to be a huge pain in the @ss
thank you
I will do - it's the first time that I've used the 'select syntax' feature and all of my previous use of 'quote formatting' buttons on forums have done the wrapping automatically.
you should really format your sql properly in your application code, not just when you post it in forums
New problem:Unknown column 'people.contract_type' in 'order clause'
I've prefixed the 'archived' column with 'people.' but it doesn't complain about that. I did a test where I replaced people.archived != '9' with people.contract_type = '1' - it worked fine. As soon as I introduced a second condition in WHERE, it failed.
FROM (SELECT people.* ,
(((acos(sin(('51.517626393425'*pi()/180)) *
sin((IF(people.postcode != '',latitude,c_latitude)*pi()/180))+cos(('51.517626393425'*pi()/180)) *
cos((IF(people.postcode != '',latitude,c_latitude)*pi()/180)) *
cos((('-0.073421625736112' - IF(people.postcode != '',longitude,c_longitude))*pi()/180))))*180/pi())*60*1.1515)
AS distance
FROM people
LEFT JOIN ordnance_survey_locations ON people.postcode = ordnance_survey_locations.postcode
LEFT JOIN counties ON people.county = counties.id
WHERE people.archived != '9' AND people.contract_type = '2') dt
WHERE distance <= 20
ORDER BY distance ASC, people.contract_type ASC, name ASC, surname ASC
Any help would be appreciated.
it's actually quite simple -- the outer query can't see the people table, it can only see the "dt" table, the derived table created by the subquery in the FROM clause
That makes sense but, why does it not fail during the first reference to a column within the people table? Is this just a MySQL quirk?
where exactly is that first reference, in the outer query or inside the subquery?
maybe it would help if we slightly reformatted the query...
FROM ( SELECT people.*
, (((ACOS(SIN ... ))) AS distance
FROM people
JOIN ordnance_survey_locations
ON ordnance_survey_locations.postcode = people.postcode
JOIN counties
ON counties.id = people.county
WHERE people.archived != '9'
AND people.contract_type = '2') AS dt
WHERE distance <= 20
BY distance ASC
, people.contract_type ASC
, name ASC
, surname ASC
the outer query is not aware of any table names used in the subquery
