We chose your group because of your reputation for selling firms at high multiples, as well as for your philosophy that high quality firms should sell with cash deals. You came through on both counts — well done! These three areas of your philosophy: fair pricing, cash terms, and quick transition were key for us and I believe that they were also fair to the buyers and their best interests. We have stayed in contact with Mark and Pam and I believe they are quite satisfied with the outcome also. All in all, it's hard to imagine a better outcome.

"Brannon Poe is an insightful advisor for the operations, purchase and sale of an accounting firm. His focus on the fundamentals of managing and creating value in an accounting firm is highlighted in the book Accountant's Flight Plan. A must read for both new and seasoned firm owners and managers."
Darcy Walls, CA
Calgary, AB
"Retirement is going great, just shot an 81 here in Palm Springs (we have been here for about two weeks), so things are looking promising. We are off to Las Vegas next week and then to Phoenix for at least two months. Lots of hiking and sightseeing as well. This retirement thing is alright."
Darwin Neubauer
Marion, NC
"Stephanie was most professional throughout the entire sales process."
David Knoble, CPA
Rock Hill, SC
"Brannon did (and is doing) an outstanding job for us and I have already indicated that I will have no trouble referring other folks to him. Further, if I ever sell a practice, he will be my first call."
Betty Francisco, CPA
Chapel Hill, NC
"The experience was very positive, and I felt confident at each step of the process. I can't imagine selling without professional help."
Stan Moore, CPA
Raleigh, NC
"The closing and the transition went as planned and expected. After my first tax season, I have a 95% retention rate with only a handful of losses that the -seller would have lost anyway due to natural attrition (people moving, dying, selling their businesses, etc) All of your advice and articles were 100% spot-on!"
Dave Deshwar, CA
Calgary, AB
"We came to know Poe Group Advisors about two and half years ago. We listed our business and found a suitable buyer within three months. We appreciated the professional manner in taking us through the selling process. We were very pleased with the results and the way everything worked out. We would recommend Poe Group Advisors to anyone wanting to sell their accounting practice."
Bond Anderson, CPA
Durham, NC
"I wanted to sell in-house and Poe Group Advisors was a big help in making this work."
Martin Margolis, CA
Calgary, AB
"Brannon said it would probably take 3 months to close and was right on. Using Poe Group Advisors was a simple and quick way to get the job done without a great deal of involvement on my part."
Elissa Olszewski, CPA
Durham, NC
"Brannon was very informative and helpful! Thanks Brannon!"
Stan Moore, CPA
Raleigh, NC
"Stephanie did a great job and was very available for assistance."
Allen Sloan, CA
Toronto, ON
"I think your team was informative, helpful and knowledgeable. I think you are truly interested in the success of the deal. Frankly I think you work harder for the purchaser — no offense intended — but then they are the ones paying you."
Marta Stubbs
Sechelt, BC
"The Poe Group made this process very easy for me and I would turn to Poe Group Advisors again if I were to ever sell another practice."
Jim Hammond, CPA
Virginia Beach, VA
"I talked to Brannon Poe a year prior to selling my practice and realized I was not ready to retire. I called Brannon a year later. He quickly brought three prospects that were qualified. I chose the one I felt would best serve my clients. The closing went smoothly and I walked away with more than I thought possible. I highly recommend the Poe Group."
Scott Shackleton, CPA, MBA
Raleigh, NC
"After listing with another broker for over a year, Poe Group Advisors located a well qualified buyer within one month. When negotiations got tense, their advice was on the mark. I would heartily recommend Poe Group Advisors."
John Bly, CPA
Matthews, NC
"… extremely helpful in the process, helping put us together with the seller especially as it related to our concern over how to best approach rate increases on under-priced clients."
Eddie Goldsticker, CPA
Virginia Beach, VA
"We were greatly pleased with the help and guidance in selling our practice. You came through with several buyers as promised and were constantly available for support throughout the process. We could not have been more pleased with your team's assistance and the final sale."

One hundred years ago, L.L.Bean Boots were handmade in a forty-by-twenty-five-foot basement space. These days, employees handcraft about 1,500 pairs of Bean Boots every day in our 130,000-square-foot Brunswick, Maine, manufacturing plant; and while manufacturing has remained fundamentally the same, we've updated our technology and hired additional employees to meet the constant demand for new Bean Boots.
Follow a pair of Bean Boots on its journey to your doorstep – from raw material to finished boot:
Step 1: CUT LEATHER
Bean Boots are created from half-hides of whole-grain leather that is inspected for insect bites, brands and other imperfections to find the best cuts. The leather is then placed into the "clicker cutter," which stamps out the shape using 40,000 pounds of pressure.
Step 2: "SPLIT" PIECES
After the leather has been inspected, cut and arranged by boot size, it's sent to the "splitter,"
where each piece is planed to equal thickness and beveled to prevent bunching or bulged seams that might chafe.
Fun Fact: Hide deemed less-than-perfect might be used for boot tongues, heel counters or other out-of-sight parts. We also make leather drink coasters
embossed with either our company logo or an image of the Bean Boot.
Step 3: STITCH PIECES
From the splitter, individual leather pieces are sent to the stitchers, where they are run through air-cooled sewing machines whirring at speeds of up to 7,400 rpm.
Fun Fact: Lovingly maintained and rebuilt for decades – some Bean Boot sewing machines date back to the 1940s or earlier.
Step 4: PUNCH GROMMETS
Next up for the sewn boots is the eyelet machine, which punches brass grommets into the leather upper. Each boot is punched with six to twenty-eight eyelets, depending on the model.
Step 5: SEW LINERS
For boots lined with Gore-Tex™, liners are sewn to a leather upper and sealed with seam tape at 385°F. Sealed boots are then pressurized and submerged in a dip tank. If bubbles rise from the submerged boot, the liner hasn't sealed completely. When no bubbles appear, the liner is certified as 100 percent air- and watertight.
Step 6: MERGE TOPS AND BOTTOMS
While leather uppers are being stamped and sewn in Brunswick, Maine, their thermoplastic rubber bottoms are molded in our facility in Lewiston, Maine. The pieces are brought together in Brunswick, where cement and double-sided tape temporarily bonds the two halves together.
Step 7: SEW PIECES TOGETHER
A skilled stitcher using a triple-needled machine strung with a waxed cotton thread permanently unites the leather uppers and rubber bottoms.
Fun Fact: In L.L.'s day, stitchers made three passes with a single needle. Today, the triple-needled machines allow us to work three times as fast.
Step 8: OUTPUT FINAL PRODUCT
The factory line moves fastest with a standard Bean Boot, producing 1,500 pairs a day. When a more complicated boot like the waxed canvas style is on the line, production reduces to approximately 1,200 per day.
Fun Fact: The L.L.Bean factory produces about twenty styles of Bean Boots a day and is equipped to manufacture more than fifty possible styles. It takes about six months of training to become skilled at handcrafting L.L.Bean Bean Boots.
Step 9: SHIP TO CUSTOMER
Every boot bears a ticket generated by the Order Department that accompanies it through the factory. Custom boots are direct-shipped right to the customer.
Fun Fact: Forty-five different workers have a hand in making the boots, with an average tenure on the factory floor of eighteen years.
Learn more about L.L.Bean's first 100 years in our 100th anniversary book, Guaranteed to Last.

Bots mine sinks in regional crisis
By Mpho Tebele
GABORONE–A MINING sector crisis gripping the SADC region has claimed its first casualty in Botswana after the copper and nickel mine BCL Limited and its subsidiaries were placed under provisional liquidation due to non-profitability.
Kgomotso Abi, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Minerals and Water Resources, said operations at BCL, which is the country's oldest mine, have ground to a halt.
Abi also revealed that BCL subsidiaries such as Tati Nickel & BCL Limited are also part of the liquidation and operations at those companies have also been halted.
The 4,300 miners at the BCL and 700 others at Tati Nickel mine, which are government owned, will continue to be paid their salaries for the next 12 months, Abi said.
Both the board and management of BCL have been formally dissolved as the liquidator has taken over. Abi said the liquidator will hand in his report on BCL to the government on February 9, 2017.
"BCL is technically insolvent and Cabinet was worried that should any creditor apply for its liquidation government would lose control of the mine," said Abi.
Like a majority of countries in the region, Botswana's projected economic growth for the year depends on good mining output and better commodity prices.
Kitso Mokaila, the former Minister of Minerals Water Resources and Energy who was recently redeployed to the Ministry of Transport and Communications, said the BCL Mine was operating at a loss, thus taking a lot of money from government coffers, something that also impacted negatively on the economy.
Mokaila is member of a Cabinet sub-committee that President Ian Khama assigned to look into the affairs of the BCL Mine challenges and consequently submit their findings to Cabinet.
He said the government previously made efforts to resuscitate the mine, but costs went up close to P5 billion, therefore it was no longer feasible to run the mine.
The sub-committee recommended to President Khama that the P8 billion needed to keep BCL afloat was unaffordable. Earlier in January, the government rejected a request by BCL management for a P1.5 billion equity injection.
The BCL management was advised to go to the market and float a bond.
BCL's troubles were also partly a result of the ongoing collapse of commodity prices. BCL extracts some of the lowest grade ores in the world in very deep shafts, and at depths in excess of 1,000 metres underground – making the mines dangerous and very costly to operate.
The situation was not helped by the failed April 2015 expansion strategy marked by the signature acquisition of all Norilsk Nickel Africa assets, which included the troubled Tati Nickel Mining Company (TNMC).
BCL, established in 1956, operates Botswana's oldest mine and consumes about 20 percent of the country's electricity.
Copper mines in the world's biggest diamond producer have been struggling in the past two years with two others, African Copper's Mowana Mine and Discovery Metals, liquidated in 2015.
BCL mine incurred a 1.2 billion pula loss in operating costs in 2015 due to a slump in commodity prices.
BCL has also been engulfed in a string of fatal accidents and unable to make profits. Four miners died at BCL mine on May 29, 2016, while on duty at the mine. The accident involved 10 employees with the remaining six said to have sustained serious injuries.
Due to low commodity prices it is feared that Botswana mining sector is expected to shed thousands of jobs in a massive haemorrhage that runs across the sector, from copper to diamonds.
Regina Sikalesele-Vaka, the chairperson of the Mineral Development Company, which is a government company that oversees the mining industry, said liquidation of the BCL mine was necessary since it was costing government financially.
According to Sikalesele-Vaka the provisional liquidation process would give information on the way forward.
"The process will also determine employees' exit packages and also inform government on what assets the mine had as well as what could be done with assets and other operations at the mine. Therefore I request employees to cooperate with the government and liquidator," she said.
The liquidation of BCL is on the back of a February statement issued by the Mining Industry Association of Southern Africa (MIASA) which is an association of Chambers of Mines in SADC. It warned of more job losses in southern Africa's mining sector, saying the Southern African Development Community (SADC) lost approximately 70,000 jobs across all commodities.
"Considering a multiplier effect of seven, this translates to total jobs lost amounting to 490,000. This means up to five million people have been deprived of their daily subsistence considering that each employee supports between seven to 10 dependants. To make matters worse, a further 50,000 employees face the risk of losing their jobs if something drastic is not done urgently."
MIASA had highlighted the need for policy consistency by governments to help the mining industry in the SADC region survive. MIASA represents chambers of mines from Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Homophobia and the Churches in Africa: A Dialogue
On 7 & 8 April 2016, 100 participants from 13 countries representing interested church groups and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTI) organizations convened for this dialogue in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. The dialogue explored and assessed current church-based approaches to affirm the dignity of women and men who are homosexual, as well as transgender and intersex people. Be sure to watch Eudy Simelane: A Life Cut Short, a video documentary on the life of Eudy Simelane, the South African national football star whose life was taken because she was lesbian. The documentary was premiered during the inaugural Eudy Simelane lecture hosted by the Ujamaa Centre at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, and highlights why religious affirmation of LGBTI people is so important. Click here to read more about the convening.
On 13 April 2016, The Other Foundation has convened a working group of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) business owners and social entrepreneurs in Cape Town, to establish a national LGBTI Business Network. The network- a South African first – is geared to address the exclusion from scarce employment opportunities, and discrimination in the workplace, of LGBTI people in south Africa. The progress that has been made in our region regarding LGBTI rights, presents an unprecedented opportunity for LGBTI economic empowerment and social acceptance in southern Africa, using the power of business.

text: Hey there guys I've been reading so many threads on this sub-forum and have learned more yesterday than months of college last year :icon_tongue_smilie:! My question is this; when you're just starting out how do you make a good relationship with printers? It strikes me that i could be offering more services if i had a good printer up my sleeve, but at the moment don't really have much work to able to 'test' various different printers. is it impossible to suss them out without having them print stuff for you (hope that doesn't seem to ridiculous). I'm in Birmingham for the summer and will be in London at uni from September. my printing experience so far has really only been as a student in London, where i found some nice guys, who were pretty new at it and haphazard and lot of people didn't give me any time as a way a student. I've never tried printing online so maybe that's something to think about too? I don't know. Thanks for your time guys! Tom

Massive Ulster County drug ring busted, sheriff's office says
Twenty-three people face drug charges after the Ulster County Sheriff's Office broke up a "massive" drug-dealing ring on Friday that sold heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana and pharmaceuticals across the region, police said.
Police seized an undisclosed amount of drugs during the raids, which were conducted by the Ulster Regional Gang Enforcement Narcotics Team in cooperation with local law enforcement agencies.
The raids stemmed from a 13-month investigation, the sheriff's office said.
The suspects range in age from 19 and 46, and most are from Ellenville and neighboring communities, police said.
They were being held at Ulster County jail Friday, the sheriff's office said.

I'm afraid you'll have to leave your sub-machine guns, photon torpedoes and lasers outside, 'cos your only weapon is a whip! Your mission as Indiana Jones, is to free Mayapore's children from enslavement in the mines beneath Pankot Palace, and find the three Sankara stones.
Indiana Jones, the game of the coin-op of the film, loads in three parts, each of which is subdivided into three levels. Level one has you running round a platforms and ladders game, beating the hell out of the resident Thuggee guards and rescuing the kiddies.
Then, without even time to straighten your hat, you leap into a runaway mine car. Pursued by yet more of those dastardly Thuggees (just who's responsible for these daft names?) you must ride to the Temple of Doom where you'll find one of those stones you were after. Do all this three times, and you're awarded a bonus level.
Graphics are hardly inspiring, with some very dubious animation in places. The programmers have taken the easy way out and done the whole thing in glorious monochrome, so it's a bit flat.
Although there are s'posed to be three separate levels, the second and third are over and done with so quickly you can't really include them. What it boils down to, then, is a rather crude Willy rip-off (don't even think about that one!) with a couple of rather pointless mini-games thrown in to pad it out a bit.
While Indiana is quite good fun for the first few goes, I can't really imagine anyone going wild over it. After lashing a couple of Thuggees to death the urge to reach for the reset button is almost overwhelming.

I picked up this plain wooden tray at the thrift shop recently.
I see signs everywhere with the word GATHER. Instead of learning how to use my Silhouette stencil maker, I decided to try to make a GATHER stencil from this Kaisercraft lowercase letter stencil I found at the local craft shop.
I cut the letters apart and laid them in my tray. It looked like my plan might work.
So I painted the tray with two coats of Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint in Relic.
Next, I stenciled on my letters, using the dot from the i for my period. I used light ivory craft paint for my lettering. I used tiny bits of blue painters tape to tape down my stencil letters and if I had any bleeding or I pounced my brush out past the stencils, I sanded or touched up the paint with a very small art paint brush.
I lightly distressed the tray's edges, and the stenciled lettering with 220 grit sandpaper. I sealed the tray with Decoart Creme Wax. I decided to hang my tray so I added a sawtooth to the back.
I think my GATHER sign is perfect for a kitchen wall.
I think my GATHER sign is perfect for a kitchen wall.
This is wooden tray number 2. I painted it with Americana Chalky Finish Paint in Relic as well, stenciled it, distressed it and brushed on creme wax. This tray has a sawtooth for hanging too.
Here is finished tray number two.
My last project started with this cutting board from the thrift shop.
I decided to add GATHER to the cutting board too but with with black craft paint.
I wanted to darken the board so I brushed on some of my vinegar/steel wool stain. Information about this stain is all over the internet and pinterest.
I also added four legs to the cutting board. The legs are made from a 1"x 1" x 36" square dowel from the craft shop. I screwed them on right through the top of the cutting board on an angle. They looked better that way.
To seal the project, I brushed on Miss Mustard Seed Hemp Oil. Hemp oil is safe for food products but not sure about the vinegar/steel wool stain. Anyway, it is more of a shelf/riser for display. The board would work to add vertical height on a counter or dining table.
I think the cutting board shelf is very fun!

Login statistics is a useful mechanism to keep track of login activity on a server system. Availability of such information is a requirement for systems to be certified under Common Criteria. SQL Server 2005 SP1 does not offer such information. This post will discuss ways to implement it using existing features of SQL Server 2005.
Let's discuss what information it would be desirable to capture in login statistics table.
Scenario 1: Image a user who logs into a bank account and want to make sure that his account was safe from intrusion while she was away.
- First the user might check is there were any attempts to break into her account.
- She might also be interesting to know when the last time she logged in was. If this date was not the date she remembers, it might means that somebody already knows her password and using it to access her account.
In both of those cases it would be good idea to call customer service and report suspicious activity.
Scenario 2: Account administrator wants to monitor is there were attempts to break into anybody's account by guessing account names passwords (dictionary attacks) and their frequency.
- For example if it was only a single failed attempt to a certain account it might mean that a user mistyped her password, however if such number is large it might mean that somebody was trying to guess a password.
- Also if there are failed attempts to login under non-existing accounts, it might indicate that somebody was probing the server for obvious account names. By having this information administrator can block either accounts themselves or obtain IP addresses of the attack originator to configure the firewall to block it.
- Various types of additional information can be extracted. For example by looking at the last time of the user login administrator can decide if this account is active or not. If it has been inactive for more that X month it can be disabled until a user requests to activate it back.
Login Statistics Table
Hence the discussion above it would be interesting to provide following information:
- The time of the last successful login
- The time of the last unsuccessful login
- The number of unsuccessful logins since the last successful login
This information will be sufficient for Scenario 2, but it is not sufficient to implement Scenario 1 above. For the interactive user, once she logs in, the information about last successful login will be overwritten with her most recent login time, so she will be unable to find out the last successful login, before her most recent one, which she is obviously not interested to see. Thus it is logical to introduce another time:
- The time of the last interactive login, which is still active
Thus when user logs in, she would only need to pay attention to the times 1-3, but not 4. One can argue that to eliminate the confusion time 4 can be hidden from the user at all. However such approach suffers from potentially serious problem.
When there is an attempt to break into her count while her session is open, such attempt can not be noticed by the user until she logs out and logs in again. Even more if such attempt is successful (attacker knows the password) it may never be noticed by neither the user, nor administrator. Say if successful attack happened one hour in the interactive session, user may very well notice that somebody has opened two sessions under her name within one hour, while she remembers that she only opened a single session. To the other hand if user logs out and logs in several days, she may not remember exact time she logged in, most likely she will only remember what date it was and may be if it was morning or afternoon.
Even for administrator introducing time 4 will be a problem. For example if there were unsuccessful login attempts after user has opened interactive session where this information can be captured? It can't be captured in 2, because it will erase last filed attempt for the interactive user. The solution to all those problems would be to introduce two sets of variables. One set as defined in 1-3, another set is a snapshot of this information before it was updated the last time (previous copy of the set).
With this model in mind, once a user logs in, her most current set would contain {last_login_success, last_login_fail, number_of_falures}. Notice that last_login_success will be after last_login_fail, assuming there were no failed attempts since the login. Also number_of_falures will refer not to the last_login_success, but to the one happened before. This is all correct, but somewhat confusing. To eliminate this confusion lets slightly redefine the set and introduce variable names:
- The time of the last successful login
- last_success
- The time of the last unsuccessful login since the last successful login
- last_fail_since_success
- The number of unsuccessful logins since the last successful login
- num_failed_since_success
And the previous set:
- The time of the successful login before last_success
- last_success1
- The time of the last unsuccessful login since last_success1 but before last_success
- last_fail_since_success1
- The number of unsuccessful logins between last_fail_since_success1 and last_success1
- num_failed_since_success1
A diagram on Figure 1 in lgnstats.rtf in the attachment demonstrates that graphically.
Thus login statistics table (we name it lgnstats) includes following columns:
- login_name
- last_success
- last_fail_since_success
- num_failed_since_success
- last_success1
- last_fail_since_success1
- num_failed_since_success1
Capturing Login History
SQL Server 2005 can keep track of login history using login audit events. Whenever a user logs into SQL Server an event entry is entered into a trace file (with extension "*.trc"). Both successful (event 14) and unsuccessful logins (event 20) can be recorded. Besides a trace, this information can also be captured asynchronously using Event Notifications mapped to logon audit events. However the latter will involve some advanced features of SQL server. To the other hand trace feature is an easy way to understand and code login statistics table. It offers tabular interface for trace files using sys.fn_trace_gettable table valued function. Hence it can be used to retrieve event records and populate a real table.
A new trace can be created and configured using sp_trace_* family of stored procedures. The trace can consists of one or more trace files with maximum size, number of files and roll over policy. For this example we will chose 100 files 1 MB each with rollover policy to overwrite existing files once maximum number of files is reached. When updating login statistics table we will be looking only at the files which were not used previously to obtain statistics. We will detect such files by the latest time recorded in login statistics table, so, naturally, we want to have relatively small files. The size and the number of rollover files depends on estimated login traffic; in this example we made the file size small enough to cause rollover in simple tests. Unprocessed files will be deleted if maximum number of filled files (100 in this case) is reached. If this is not acceptable a SQL agent job can be implemented to process them periodically.
We will store files in LOG directory along with default trace files. Files are named sys_lgnstats_*.trc with incrementally increasing numeric suffix.
We've selected the following trace record columns in our login history trace file:
- Login name (LoginName)
- Login time (StartTime)
- Event id (EventClass)
Also for debugging purposes we keep
Login SID (LoginSID)
We introduce 2 stored procedures to start and stop login history trace:
For example:
--start login history trace
Exec sp_lgnstats_trace_start
--stop login history trace
Exec sp_lgnstats_trace_stop
For detailed implementation of these procedures see attached code on Figure3 in lgnstats.rtf.
Computing Login Statistics
Using trace files with login history along with sys.fn_trace_gettable, it is fairly straightforward to compute login statistics as described on Figure 1 in the attachment lgnstats.rtm. This logic is implemented in sp_lgnstats_merge in the attached sample and presented below:
-- Find @lastSuccessNew
SELECT TOP(1) @lastSuccessNew = StartTime FROM #lgnstats_trace
WHERE … LoginName = @login AND
EventClass = 14
ORDER BY StartTime DESC
-- Find @lastFailNew
SELECT TOP (1) @lastFailNew = StartTime
FROM #lgnstats_trace
WHERE … LoginName = @login AND
EventClass = 20 AND
StartTime > @lastSuccessNew
ORDER BY StartTime DESC
-- Find @lastSuccessNew1
SELECT TOP(1) @lastSuccessNew1 = StartTime FROM #lgnstats_trace
WHERE … LoginName = @login AND
EventClass = 14 AND
StartTime < @lastSuccessNew
ORDER BY StartTime DESC
-- Find @lastFailNew1
SELECT TOP (1) @lastFailNew1 = StartTime
FROM #lgnstats_trace
WHERE … LoginName = @login AND
EventClass = 20 AND
StartTime < @lastSuccessNew AND
StartTime > @lastSuccessNew1
ORDER BY StartTime DESC
-- Find @failCountNew
SELECT @failCountNew = count(*)
FROM #lgnstats_trace
WHERE … LoginName = @login AND
EventClass = 20 AND
StartTime > @lastSuccessNew
-- Find @failCountNew1
SELECT @failCountNew1 = count(*)
FROM #lgnstats_trace
WHERE … LoginName = @login AND
EventClass = 20 AND
StartTime < @lastSuccessNew AND
StartTime > @lastSuccessNew1
However generally we need to process only information entered after the latest time login statistics was computed. This will both help the efficiency and will be functionally correct when processed trace files are deleted. This task is a little bit more challenging, since we need to merge information from new trace files with the previous login statistics in lgnstats table.
To accomplish this we will enumerate all trace files from the one with the highest numeric index (sys_lgnstats_N.trc) and exclude from the computation all times which happened before the latest time recorded in login statistics table across all files. For example if the latest time recorded in lgnstats table is @latestRecTime, we will exclude all times regardless of the event type (success or fail) and login name, which happened before @latestRecTime. Here is the query to obtain @latestRecTime.
DECLARE @latestRecTime DATETIME
SELECT @latestRecTime =
(last_success, last_fail_since_success))
FROM lgnstats
Note that we use dbo.fn_lgnstats_MAX() scalar function to handle NULL values as smallest time, otherwise any comparision betwen NULL and non-NULL will result in FALSE. MAX() aggregate however ignores any NULL vaues.
Now we enumerate all files starting from N, N-1, N-2,…, K until we find a file, which has a time greater than @latestRecTime. Once such file with index K is found, we use sys.fn_trace_gettable to gather login statistics in all files starting from Kth one.
SET @traceFile = 'sys_lgnstats_K.trc'
SELECT LoginName,StartTime,EventClass
FROM sys.fn_trace_gettable(@traceFile,default)
WHERE StartTime > @latestRecTime AND
(EventClass = 14 or EventClass = 20)
At this point we can merge newly obtained login history data with already captured in lgnststs table. That would effectively require combining two diagrams on Figure 1 from lgnstats.rtf – for all and new data. While this is possible it requires a number of carefully written comparison statements. TSQL is not the most suitable language to implement this in a readable form, so rather we use an alternative approach.
Lgnstats table in our implementation is very similar to login history one obtained from the trace file. Thus we can create a temporary table *(we call it #lgnstats_w) similar to what trace file returns to us. For example lgnstats has two last successful login times, just like they would appear in the trace, so we insert them into our temporary table without changes. Lgnstats table also has failed login times, but they only show cumulative information. In their case we can expand those times by the number of failures. For example for last_fail_since_success we would insert last_fail_since_success time into temporary trace table num_failed_since_success number of times. Similarly for last_fail_since_success1. In reality we don't insert them multiple times, instead we use an extra weight column in this temporary table. The weight column is only used to compute number of failures. Here is an example of typical #lgnstats_w table. In reality some of the times below can be NULL.
LoginName EventClass StartTime Weight Login_name 20 last_fail_since_success_new num_failed_since_success_new Login_name 14 last_success_new 0 Login_name 20 last_fail_since_success1_new num_failed_since_success1_new Login_name 14 last_success1_new 0 Login_name 20 last_fail_since_success_old num_failed_since_success_old Login_name 14 last_success_old 0 Login_name 20 last_fail_since_success1_old num_failed_since_success1_old Login_name 14 last_success1_old 0
In this table *_new designates entries obtained from the trace file, *_old is for ones gotten from lgnstats table.
We apply they the same logic to #lgnstats_w, which was used to compute login statistics from row trace file (see above) as if there were no lgnstats table to merge with. The only difference here is that we use weight column to compute a number of failed attempts rather than counting trace rows for failed logins.
Displaying login statistics
We have identified two scenarios when login statistics table can be useful. An individual user can monitor login activity in his account as well as administrator can keep track on logins by various users into the server. Obviously an individual user can see only information about herself, while administrator needs to see information about any login. SQL Server 2005 implements permission based security and it is possible that userA may have permission to view information about userB in catalogs. This is usually allowed in userA has ANY permission on userB. There is also a special permission which gives control to all logins in the server – ALTER ANY LOGIN. Grantees of this permission can also see information about all users in the server. Thus our permission rule would be following:
(*) UserA can see login statistics on userB iff:
- userA is granted ALTER ANY LOGIN permission OR
- userA is granted ANY permission on userB OR
- userA = userB
(**) UserA can see login statistics on everybody iff
- userA is granted ALTER ANY LOGIN permission
For (*) to be consistent with SQL Server 2005 catalog security model we also must check that VIEW DEFINITION permission is not denied for userA on userB. But currenly there is no easy way to achieve this using TSQL, so we ignore it.
Access to login statistics table is implemented using sp_lgnstats_get procedure. It accepts @loginName as an argument. If it is NULL it will show information on all logins.
Following procedures can be used to initiate, stop and view login statistics as defined on figure 3 in lgnstats.rtf attached to this post:
-- to start login statistics
-- to stop login statistics
-- to obtain login statistics for a user
sp_lgnstats_get @loginName = NULL sysaname
There are also a number of auxiliary stored procedures, which are used only internally.
-- Called from sp_lgnstats_get to compute login statistics
-- Find the first trace file which contains data not yet
-- included in lgnstats table
-- Called from sp_lgnstats_update
-- Combines login history from trace file and lgnstats table
-- Called from sp_lgnstats_update
To install login statistics sample copy script on Figure 3 in lgnstats.sql into SQL Server Management Studio, "select all" and execute.
Figure 2 in ithe attachment lgnstats.rtf demonstrates how to use login statistics with some examples.
Login statistics feature is very helpful in monitoring potential attacks on accounts by both users and administrators. SQL Server 2005 trace offers inexpensive way to implement such functionality without significant development efforts. Login statistics can be easily enhanced by including extra information available from a trace. For example, it can include IP address or SID of a login.

© Avion49 (Help) Over the last several years, there has been a new trend developing in the creation of 3D clothing, that of dynamics. "What is dynamics?" you ask. To put it simply, dynamic clothing is clothing that drapes with gravity.
If you take a good look at the bottom edge of the clothing in these two images, you can see that the bottom edge sticks out from the model. This is in part because of the way the clothing was created. The mesh used is a stiff construct. Now, granted using transparency maps can make the coat look like lace, but it doesn't hang the way a real life garment would. In standing poses like these are, you can work around any awkwardness in the clothing. But what of seated poses, what can you do there?

FISHERMEN demanded up to £100 million in compensation from the Government yesterday to save them from ruin as Brussels imposed an emergency ban on catches of cod from 40,000 square miles of the North Sea.
The restriction was welcomed by the Government and conservationists but fishermen said it would cause "a lot of pain". The move, which could cost hundreds of fishermen their jobs and bankrupt processing plants in Britain, came after weeks of talks between EU and Norwegian officials and industry leaders.
Elliot Morley, the fisheries minister, welcomed the "major conservation initiative". The Scottish ports of Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Aberdeen and Lerwick - four of Britain's main commercial fishing centres - will be among the worst hit.
It is forecast that about 120 vessels will be driven out of business - a fifth of the main Scottish white-fish fleet. In England, the east coast port of Lowestoft would be "devastated" by the decision, industry leaders said. The 12-week ban, which will take effect from February 12, will apply to cod spawning areas off Scotland, Norway, Denmark and Holland.
The EU Commission said: "We are facing an extremely serious situation. The cod stock is in danger of irreversible collapse. The whole purpose is to allow as many young cod as possible to survive." The measures ban all forms of fishing that affect the seabed, where cod spawning occurs. But trawlers will be allowed to continue fishing for mackerel, herring and other species found near the surface.
The decision mainly affects crews from within the EU and from Norway. The principal areas are waters off north and east Scotland, East Anglia and the Norwegian and Danish coast. The EU is also working on a four to five year recovery plan to restore the balance of North Sea fishing species.
The commission is expected to announce a range of technical controls next week to allow juvenile fish to escape. Even tougher plans to curb cod catches in the future are also expected to be tabled by the Norwegians who share EU fishing grounds in the North Sea.
Last month, the British fleet reluctantly accepted cuts of 50 per cent in cod catches this year, knowing that a temporary ban was also likely in spawning areas. Cod have become so scarce that fishermen have managed to catch only 60 per cent of the 1999 EU quota of 81,000 tonnes.
Yesterday's announcement was not as severe as fishermen expected. The curbs are expected to hit Danish and Dutch fishermen harder than those in Britain. At one stage Scottish fishermen feared that they would face restrictions over the whole year.
Ian Duncan, secretary of the Scottish Fishermen's Federation - the most powerful industry group - said: "We were expecting to lose a leg. Yesterday we lost a foot." Up to 120 vessels would become unviable almost right away, he said. Many others were at risk.
The industry would be seeking Government assistance to keep fishermen in businesses and to help to restructure the fleet. There were now too many boats for the fish available.
Mike Park, chairman of the Scottish White Fish Producers' Association, said: "Some of our members are just hanging on at the moment. By the end of April we are going to see several casualties in the industry. What we want is £100 million which is what the farmers get in one day from the Government."
Under the scheme, Denmark's fishing fleet will no longer be able to enter the restricted areas to carry out its controversial practice of industrial fishing for sand eels, which involves "bottom hoovering" small fish for fertiliser products and leads to a "by-catch" of cod and hake.
After April, however, Danish trawlers will again be allowed to catch more cod and hake as a by-catch, for industrial purposes, than the Scottish fleet is allowed to catch for human consumption. The Worldwide Fund for Nature called the ban "a huge step forward" for fish conservation in the North Sea. But Matthew Davies, WWF-UK's campaign director, said: "There is a great deal more to be done."

Is this a one-time conversion? Or, will you need to do this routinely?

Go back to your notes from the first class session. Very early in the session, the first time that she said "Write this down!" she gave the answer to this question, and she also told you that it would be on the take-home part of the final exam.
She uses this question year after year, and only a few people seem to get it from any given session.

It's MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. Good morning. I'm David Greene.
And I'm Steve Inskeep.
Here's a challenge for Pakistan: turn terrorists into law-abiding citizens.
GREENE: Of course, the world is filled with people who fought brutal civil conflicts and then faded into the populace. But Pakistan faces a special problem: The Pakistani Taliban recruited thousands of young men to battle the government.
INSKEEP: They have conducted bombings, murdered unarmed citizens, and even targeted girls. Now Pakistan's army wants to undo the psychic damage.
NPR's Dina Temple-Raston visited a jihadi rehabilitation program in Pakistan's Swat Valley.
DINA TEMPLE-RASTON, BYLINE: A Pakistani army officer named Colonel Zeshan is giving me a tour of a jihadi rehabilitation center.
COLONEL ZESHAN: This place was also captured by Taliban. Army took over this place from them when the war was going on.
TEMPLE-RASTON: In 2009.
ZESHAN: Exactly.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Ghosts of the Taliban are everywhere in Swat. Last year, it was in Swat that the Taliban shot three Pakistani schoolgirls just for pursuing an education. The main square in Mingora, the main town in Swat, was the Taliban's favorite venue for public hangings. Swat - known for its rolling hills, pine trees and beautiful lakes - is still trying to recover from those days. And in a way, the army's rehabilitation program was created to help do that.
The place where all this happens is called Mishal. It's like a vocational school for jihadis, only with high walls, barbed wire and armed guards. Young men who used to run errands for the Taliban or fought alongside them are now learning basic skills that are meant to make them useful members of society.
ZESHAN: This is an electrician's class. Here they are taught...
TEMPLE-RASTON: Colonel Zeshan guides me from one classroom to another, first an electrician class and then a computer class.
ZESHAN: Here we teach them very basic things, like how to use computers, how to use MS Word, things like that.
TEMPLE-RASTON: And do they go on the Internet?
ZESHAN: Yes.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Very few of the militants at Mishal even knew what the Internet was before they came here. Parts of Swat Valley are that cut off from the rest of the world. And that isolation, rehabilitation center officials will tell you, made it easier for the Taliban to recruit young men from the area.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Twenty-four-year old Farooq is sitting in a woodshop classroom at Mishal. He graduated a couple of months ago.
TEMPLE-RASTON: That's Farooq playing a Pakistani rubab. It looks a little like a lute. Farooq, speaking through an interpreter, explains what happened when the Taliban spotted him playing one.
FAROOQ: I was playing it, and they said it was haram to play this, and this is how they caught me. And then they forced me to join their ranks.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Haram: forbidden. The Pakistani Taliban considers music evil. Farooq's punishment: to run errands for the group for years. Eventually, the Pakistani army captured him and transferred him to its school at Mishal. After six months of classes there, Farooq says he now understands that the Taliban had used him.
FAROOQ: (Foreign language spoken)
TEMPLE-RASTON: The Taliban had misguided me, he says, and they told me I had to wage jihad against the Pakistani army.
For the most part, these men, like Farooq, aren't driven by religious fanaticism. They stayed with the Taliban because they didn't know any better.
HUSSAIN NADIM: One of the things that I saw - which was a common thing in these kids - was this idea of fear.
TEMPLE-RASTON: That's Hussain Nadim. He's a professor at the National University of Sciences and Technology in Islamabad. And he also spends time teaching at the rehabilitation center. There are two different schools of thought on how to reeducate violent jihadis.
In Saudi Arabia, a 12-step program includes art therapy and helping young men find a wife. In Singapore, jihadis are taught less-violent interpretations of the Koran. In Swat, the approach is different, simpler. Nadim says the young men are given a new narrative.
NADIM: We started taking them through a trajectory of events, that this is what happened in 9/11. This is how the war started.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Teachers like Nadim try to explain to the students that the Taliban lied to them, and remind them that it is their families that they ought to be focusing on.
NADIM: I think the focus at these centers was not specifically about jihad. They were training them more on skills, specifically telling them that you need to get your life back in order, through emotional sentiments like your mother, your sister, they're waiting for you.
TEMPLE-RASTON: They're basically re-channeling energy.
NADIM: Yeah, exactly.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Since 2010, several thousand young men - and a handful of women - have graduated from the program. The funding for Mishal and a couple of other rehab centers in Swat comes from the Pakistani army and from international aid groups.
Colonel Zeshan, who showed me the school, says the recidivism rate is near zero.
ZESHAN: When they are provided an opportunity to come back to the society where they have a livelihood and they have a family, so what's the point in going back to those people?
TEMPLE-RASTON: Those people, meaning the Taliban. The army offers several handpicked graduates to prove its program works, but we wanted to find one independently.
TEMPLE-RASTON: And we met him in a Pashtun house in the middle of a field, hours from the school. The front door was made of steel. We were escorted to a room where the men of the house slept. A single candle flickered on a table. There was no electricity. The recent graduate - he said his name was Fandula - came in from the darkness wearing a soft wool hat and a cape. He speaks through an interpreter.
FANDULA: (Through translator) I stayed with the army for two years, and I was accused of being accomplices of Taliban, one of the accomplices of Taliban.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Two years is a long time in the army's rehabilitation program. It suggests that Fandula was a hard case. At the center, men like him are required to sit down with religious leaders, too.
FANDULA: In the afternoon, there were religious scholars who would tell us that whatever happened in the past was not good, and killing in the name of religion is not good.
TEMPLE-RASTON: He said that they were trying to undo what the Taliban did to him, and we asked if it worked.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (Foreign language spoken)
FANDULA: (Through translator) Yes, it did.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Ji - yes in Pashtun, he says. It worked. Fandula checks in with the army once a week. He's on a kind of jihadi parole. And he says he isn't tempted by the Taliban or its ideas anymore. He said he sees some of the students who were with him at the center, and he says they don't have any interest in the Taliban now, either. Dina Temple-Raston, NPR News.

Team Guide by HungryMurderer
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Fiora Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
is a really big advantage on spells which can apply on hit effects.
Do PHYSICAL damage and aoe damge aswell for melee champs it means 50% aoe damage for ranged it means 35% so if you stack up 2 of
you do 100% dmg in a circle with every autoattack. I found tiamat usefull on the next few champs Fiora and Nasus.
Fiora's ultimate apply on hit effects in team fights when enemy are near to each other you can have easy pentakill plus her great attack speed just fits for on hit effect.
Nasus's Siphoninh Strike also apply on hit effect plus this skill has infinity damage just farm well.
Fiora pros / cons
-Fiora's passive keep ypi on lane but need to keep it up all the time.
- reflect one autoattack really usefull in 1v1. when the enemy dives it also can increase the chance to survive
-She has dash DOUBLE DASH
-High attack speed is the best to farm and to kill champs
-she has dash only for attacking (can used for escape depends on minions but its for attacking)
-She has no cc
-you can't manage where will you end the ultimate
Really good it gives aoe dmg (apply on ultimate) hp regen and mana regen.
100% slow why not plus good sustain
Bloodthrister Attack dmg to improve your tiamats dmg and lifesteal also good.
Mastery is 21-9-0 for armor pen, attack damage , armor and hp, i dont want to talk about it
Runes like a junglers (can be ad carry rune page)
Greater Mark of Desolationfor early hard hitting without this the high attack speed would be nothing
for armor its really common for seals for decreasing dmg from auto attack plus ad balanced spells
since you top there is not a big chance to meet ap champs (except ) so you need to focus late game so pick resist / lvl
Attack speed without attack dmg like crit chance without ad so bring the pain
How to use skills
you should never enter first in a teamfight leave that job for a tank then to a carry active if you killed it fast then attack another one (there is always 2 carry) if not, use the second on it again.IF you are focused use to get back hp plus killing enemies as soon you ended your use then spam everything.
Until you dont have ultimate you cant kill an enemy with a SINGLE attack you need to hurt them down under 50% hp FARM ALL DAY if you are near to each other dont dash only if needed if he start running and he is out of 's range then dash to mage minions and contiune chasing but dont start fight without jungler.
Nasus's job
Nasus q has high dmg if you last hit with it with 2 tiamat this incredible dmg will be aoe dmg which combined with your ulti will kill anything which is moving.
now i tell you how to paly Nasus well :
1st step:farm
2nd step:farm more
3th step: in teamfight slow the carry and hit anyone near it cause TIAMATS
Do not forget
if you want to stack tiamat further thats good idea but dont forget you will be squishy as hell asd easily focused but fiora ulti make her incredible and nasus's one just grant 600hp from nothing so you can stack more but I found 2 tiamat for the best amount

As Community Managers, we have bad days when customers are upset. I find that the best way to pick myself up on those bad days are by making it right when I can – and reminding myself of those past wins when I can't.
Recently, my friend Shannon Byrne worked on a piece for Socialmouths.com on ways to change what people are saying about you online and I was happy to share a couple of my earlier wins for the piece.
3. Go the extra mile in responding to upset customers
Our friend Crystal saw the below Facebook post from a customer who was upset with a large product change — a whole new version release. Since it was a private company mention (a tag) and not a post on their page, she couldn't respond. Instead, she tracked the customer down in their support app and reached out via email to save the day.
See the screenshots and check out 8 other amazing examples of great online day-saving at Socialmouths.com.
