If elearning courses had the same addictive qualities and fan fervor, it's unlikely any student would walk away from a course without learning something. Here are five strategies elearning could borrow from casual gaming, complete with simple tips to improve elearning courses.
1. Reward the Learner
One reason Candy Crush and other casual games are so addictive is the constant reward cycle the games present. Levels only take a few minutes, so users are able to feel rewarded frequently throughout their play experience. Moreover, every time a player completes a move, visual and auditory cues play (such as words like "sweet!" or "delicious!" or loud bells and whistles) to let the player know they've accomplished something. These accomplishments trigger a rush of dopamine (a neurotransmitter that sends pleasure to the brain) letting us know we should continue the action. Dopamine reinforces behavior and subconsciously encourages the player to continue seeking the accomplishments and rewards.
Here are some ways to use this tactic to create rewarding elearning:
- Make sure the learner is rewarded early and often for demonstrating correct knowledge.
- Highlight correct answers and actions with bright, obvious indicators (large green check marks, bells, positive words, etc).
- Give the learner plenty of opportunities to demonstrate knowledge in small quick sections
- Include an easy way for the learner to view their achievements to increase their sense of accomplishment.
2. Keep It Simple
Engrossing simplicity occurs when an activity is simple and repetitive but attractive to the user. Just as most gamers look for consistent gratification, they are also looking for simplicity. Simple tasks, such as matching three candies or flicking a bird, are easy and accessible to anyone. The games have to be attractive enough, however, to still be engrossing. In addition to rewards, quick levels, and attractive game design (simple, with bright colors and identifiable patterns) make the players want to continue to play. Here are some tips to help you keep it simple:
- Make sure your course is attractive. Do away with greys and dull colors, and replace them with bright, positive colors.
- However, keep it simple. Don't overdo it on the design. Choose a palate and stick to it.
- The tests of knowledge and activities should be simple enough to pick up with little-to-no instruction, but fun enough to make the learner actively want to participate.
3. Structure the Goals and Objectives
Most elearning courses offer overarching goals and learning objectives, but casual game design has mastered the art of goal setting. In Candy Crush, immediate goals (such as matching three candies) support larger goals (beat the level) which in turn lead to ultimate goals (move to the next area). This not only makes the large goals seem more achievable, but also increases the number of achievements and rewards for the player. It also makes the game more addictive and fast-paced, as the player is more likely to tell him-or-herself "one more life" or "five more moves." Here are some ways to structure your course in a similar way:
- Break up each learning objective into smaller goals.
- Make sure each one of these goals has a test, activity, or achievement associated.
- The goals should be varied enough to keep the course challenging and interesting, but not so different that they don't feel cohesive.
4. Increase the Difficulty
A significant reason Candy Crush is so addictive is the early levels are easy to beat, giving the player satisfaction and desire to continue playing, with increasingly difficult levels throughout the game to create a challenge. To be entertained, humans need an activity to be challenging enough to stave off boredom, but not so challenging they give up. One way to achieve this balance is to stagger the course difficulty by making later goals build on skills acquired earlier. This also forces the player to practice their knowledge and skills and, in elearning, ensures learning happens consistently throughout the course. Below are some tips concerning difficulty:
- Don't restrict concepts to certain modules—each activity/test should include knowledge and skills acquired throughout the course.
- Structure goals/objectives so they build on each other. For example, move from "Know how to use and maintain a power saw" to "Cut a straight line with a power saw" to "Cut a circle with a power saw."
- Make achievements easy at the beginning of the course to hook learners from the start.
5. Implement Competition
Humans are competitive animals. In an interview with The Guardian, cyber psychologist Bernie Good explained part of the reason games like Farmville are so compelling is we want to show off our superiority over other players. This is known as the "peacock effect"—and it shows players are much more driven to play a game if they can show off their achievements and "wealth" to their friends. If you can introduce a competitive aspect to a course, learners will be significantly more incentivized to pay attention and internalize the learning. To create competition, try these tips:
- Include metrics that can be compared—time to complete an activity, score on a quiz, etc.
- Have a "high-score table," or include achievements such as bronze, silver, and gold medals. Even if the learner is not actively competing against his peers, the existence of several benchmarks to "beat" will encourage him or her to excel.
- As mentioned above, include somewhere where the learner can view his or her achievements, as that will incentivize them to continue to aim for excellence.
By following in the footsteps of Candy Crush, Angry Birds, and more, your elearning courses will have users learning more, enjoying their experience, and spending more time with the course. If you'd like to learn more about effective game design in training, try Gamification Vs. Game-Based Learning.

Article: Hybrid electro-optic polymer/sol–gel waveguide modulator fabricated by all-wet etching process[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A simple all-wet-etch process fabricates a hybrid electro-optic-polymer (EOP)/sol–gel waveguide modulator, confining the EOP laterally in the sol–gel overcladding. The structure enables an adiabatic transition between the passive sol–gel waveguides and the active EOP overlayers without lateral radiation. Intensity is confined well in a 0.9-μm-thick EOP overlayer, resulting in a low half-wave voltage (Vπ) due to the larger overlap integral. This lateral confinement technique allowed the reduction of Vπ (at 1550 nm) by a factor of 4. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.Applied Physics Letters 12/2003; 83(23):4692-4694. · 3.52 Impact Factor
Article: Polarization-insensitive transition between sol-gel waveguide and electrooptic polymer and intensity modulation for all-optical networks[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An intensity modulation using a hybrid electrooptic (EO) polymer/sol-gel straight channel waveguide, useful in the 1550-nm wavelength regime is demonstrated without using Mach-Zehnder interferometric waveguide. The sol-gel waveguide is selectively buried so that a vertical transition into and out of an EO polymer coated on the sol-gel waveguide is arranged. The throughput ratio for transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes of the light coupled out of the hybrid waveguide is improved up to 0.9 dB with the help of reduced birefringence of the EO polymer after corona poling. We show that the fabrication process of such hybrid-type waveguides enables production of a phase modulator operating at 1550-nm wavelength. The fabricated straight channel waveguide modulator exhibits stable- and high-intensity modulation efficiency (82%) using a simple cross-polarization setup after the polarization dependence is reduced. We demonstrate an all wet-etching process to fabricate polymeric EO modulators.Journal of Lightwave Technology 10/2003; 21(9):2053- 2060. · 2.56 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: An approach to utilizing electro-optically (EO) active polymers in hybrid waveguide structures is described and demonstrated. Buried sol-gel waveguides provide a robust basis for planar integrated circuitry, suitable for coupling with optical fibers. By selectively exposing the core of a buried channel guide, overcoating with an EO polymer, and using appropriately tapered transition zones, a guided mode can be made to undergo adiabatic transitions from sol-gel waveguide up into the EO polymer and back. Such a single-mode device was constructed. These transitions were proven via modulation of the emerging wave's polarization ellipse by application of voltage to the EO polymer. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.Applied Physics Letters 01/2003; 82(4):490-492. · 3.52 Impact Factor

1. Introduction
Polymeric EO modulators have demonstrated high speed modulation up to 110GHz [1] and low voltage
operation for high speed fiber communication and RF link systems. Recently studied EO polymer films have shown
EO coefficients >100pm/V at 1.31μm. However, the highest reported EO coefficient in all polymeric waveguide
modulators was less than 36pm/V at 1550nm because of low contact poling efficiency [2] of ~30% for the EO
polymer core layer with a relatively high conductivity passive polymer cladding layer. In our previous work, we
proposed and demonstrated high poling efficiency and higher EO coefficient [3-7] in actual modulator devices with
help of the high conductivity (at the poling temperature) of specially formulated sol-gel waveguide and cladding
layers. Here, we discuss ultra-high poling efficiency, which leads to the highest in-device EO polymer r33
coefficient of 170pm/V at 1.55μm using hybrid EO polymer/sol-gel waveguide modulators. Efficiently contact
poled cross-linkable EO polymer devices showed a low half wave voltage (Vπ ) of 1.0V for a Mach-Zehnder
intensity modulator and 2.5V for a phase modulator at 1.55μm. The in-device EO coefficients of the EO polymers
in the hybrid modulators exceeded that of LiNbO3 by a factor of 5-6. These results will enable a new generation of
modulators for ultra low voltage digital switching, reconfigurable optical interconnection and RF photonics.

2. Hybrid crosslinkable EO polymer/sol-gel waveguide modulator
Hybrid EO polymer/sol-gel waveguide modulators demonstrate high poling efficiency and low coupling loss
(1dB/end face) [5] due to excellent mode field matching between standard single mode fiber and the sol-gel
waveguide in passive region. The sol-gel waveguide consists of a sol-gel undercladding, core, side cladding, and
overcladding as shown in Fig. 1. Each sol-gel layer was fabricated by spin-coating and wet-etching of
methacryloyloxy propyltrimethoxysilane (MAPTMS) doped with an index modifier (zirconium(IV)-n-propoxide).
Page 2
The mole ratio of index modifier in MAPTMS was controlled to obtain a mode field similar to that of single mode
fiber [5]. Our employed EO polymer is a thermally stable crosslinkable guest-host polymer doped with a nonlinear
optical chromophore as shown in Fig. 1. The EO polymer combined the use of both crosslinking and guest host
systems for thermal stability and high chromophore doping, which has been difficult in previous guest-host systems.
The EO polymer was spin-coated on a selectively buried sol-gel waveguide in the active region and cured at 50°C
overnight. EO polymer coated on the sol-gel waveguides was contact-poled between the Au over electrode and Ti
under electrode. The poling temperature was increased from 50°C to 135°C with applied voltage to initiate
crosslinking during the poling process. The volume conductivity of our sol-gel layer was 1.0S/m at the poling
temperature of 135°C [7], which is higher than that of the EO polymer by nine orders of magnitude when a voltage
of 400V is applied. When a poling voltage of 200-400V was applied between over and under electrodes; we
achieved a poling efficiency of 100%. After contact-poling, the over Au electrode was removed by wet-etching, and
an Au electrode for EO modulation was sputtered on the coated buffer layer (CYTOP Asahi Glass).

3. EO coefficient in hybrid modulator
The low frequency transfer function at 1kHz was monitored to measure Vπ of the phase modulator and the
Mach-Zehnder modulator. A Vπ of 2.5V was measured in the phase modulator, which corresponded to an r33 of
170pm/V at 1550nm, using an overlap integral of 80%, inter-electrode distance of 15μm and electrode length of
24mm. This result was 5 times larger than that of previously reported all-polymeric modulators at 1550nm. The EO
coefficient in the devices was consistent with values obtained from poled single EO polymer films in Teng-Man
ellipsometric measurements. The Mach-Zehnder modulator with dual modulation showed a Vπ of 1.0V at 1550nm
as shown in Fig. 3, which corresponds to an r33 of 138pm/V. We estimated an r33 of 228pm/V at 1310nm from Vπ at
1550nm using the two level model, which predicts a Vπ of ~0.6V at 1310nm. The inter-electrode distance would be
reduced to 11μm when a tapered core [7] is employed for this crosslinkable EO polymer, which will lead to Vπ of
0.4V at 1310nm and 0.6V at 1550nm for the Mach-Zehnder modulator. The Vπ value of these devices did not
change when they were kept in air at room temperature for more than 20 days. Thermal and optical stability in
devices is currently under examination with initial results indicating high thermal stability.

I brewed an IPA today and the mash temp. got out of hand. I doughed in and hit my target steep temp. of 150, I watched for 5 min. to make sure the temp. was leveled out. I went upstairs and ate lunch, when I returned the temp had risen to almost 170. I stirred it up in hopes of dropping the temp. down to 150 and couldn't get it to drop below 160 before time was up.
Does anyone know how this will effect the flavor, and final result of my beer?
When you doughed in did you stir? I'm not sure why your temp would go up. Anyway this is going to depend on how long it was at 170 for. At that temp it'll kill the mash enzymes so you could be dealing with some efficiency problems. Next time you overshoot try adding cold water to get temp down quick. Hope it works out for ya!
Do you know what the O.G. was after the boil? If the temp was down in the 150s for the first half hour it might be ok most of the conversion is done by then.
I had the same problem with my first all-grain attempt. I was attempting an Irish Red Ale. After stirring, I only measured in one place and hit my temp (I believe it was 152). When I came back in an hour I re-measured so I would know how much heat was lost. The first temperature reading was 158. Lesson learned - stir then stir some more and more...
The beer ended up having way too much body for an Irish Red, maybe more like a mild brown. It was still very good, just not to style. RDWHAHB

I doughed in at 160 or so and stirred it until the temp dropped to 150. I was only gone for 30 mins. before I caught it. My target gravity was 1.065 and I hit 1.062 after the boil.
Thanks for the input
OG after boil was 1.062 and I was shooting for 1.065.
if your mash temps were consistently too high throughout the mash then the enzyme that creates simple sugars would be less active, but the counterpart responsible for breaking down large sugars would still work. Sounds like this is the case since your efficieny wasnt affected. You'll have a lot of complex sugars the yeast will have trouble fermenting and end with a higher than desired FG most likely. I've been doing research into the effects of mash temperature and FG, and yours will likely be high for an IPA but will probably turn out to be an interesting, and not necessarily bad, beer. Post back your FG, I would be interested to see it.
I did that with a porter today. I was aiming for 158*, but mashed in low, only about 152. I turned the heat back on to bring it up to temp, but I had a thick mash, and by the time I killed the heat it equalized at about 165*.
My OG going into the fermenter was still 1.064, so I think it worked out OK. Between the first 20 minutes being low and the rest of the mash being high, maybe it will even out.
I did the same thing as well on a scotch ale, mashed way to high on accident, started with a OG of 1.084, and it died in the fermenter at 1.040...not really sure what to do with it now.

When a homicide detective makes the fateful decision to cover up a hit-and-run accident which kills a man, he invites karmic retribution on a grand scale in this wickedly ingenious suspense thriller.
"A masterclass in throat-squeezing, stomach-knotting suspense loaded with smart plot twists, dark humor and high-gloss visuals." Stephen Dalton, The Hollywood Reporter

One of the most popular movies at this year's VIFF, this is both an acute psychological study and a deadpan comedy of manners, a portrait of a family riven by the father's instinctive act of cowardice in the face of an avalanche during a skiing holiday. For all his attempts to pretend that nothing has happened, everything has changed. But what to do about it?

Arguably the most popular building site in the world, the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona is still a work in progress, 125 years after the first stones were laid. Designed by the controversial Catalan genius Antonio Gaudi, the Sagrada is a testament to Faith… Faith in God, in the natural forms that so inspired the architect, and also in man, for Gaudi always knew this work would have to be completed long after his life-time.
"This film is more than a documentary, it tells the story using beautiful and quiet images of the transformation of ideas, talks of human endeavour for perfection and in so doing, illustrates that the essential meaning of this edifice lies in its creation process and not only in its completion.
This creative process is illustrated in varying perspectives from inside the incomplete church as well as the complex structure of the exterior parts of the church.
The film gives cause for self-reflection on how the past and present are related, portraying people and destinies involved in the construction of the church and ultimately proves that something incomplete also has its own significance." Jury citation, Erasmus Euro Media Awards
"Both exhaustive and astounding in its detective-like exploration of the history of the impossibly ornate Catalonian house of worship." Jackson Scarlett, 7x7SF

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has blamed the intensive media campaign for the release of Gilad Shalit for the breakdown of the talks over a possible prisoner deal — and told his family that they may have harmed his cause.
This week the Israeli government announced that it had refused Hamas demands for the release of 450 senior terrorists, many of them jailed for life for murder.
Ofer, a fighter in the Golani Brigade, was in the first wave of the ground offensive:
The efforts to secure a prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas are to proceed through two different channels in a last-gasp attempt to finalise the deal before a new right-wing government is formed in Israel.
Negotiations are taking place simultaneously in Cairo and Europe through joint mediation by the French and Qatari governments, both of which are eager to deepen their involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
Israel will refuse to agree a new truce with Hamas unless the release of captured soldier Gilad Shalit is part of the deal.
The decision, approved unanimously by a cabinet vote on Wednesday, came as both Israel and Hamas appeared to toughen their negotiating positions.
The indirect talks over a ceasefire, mediated by the Egyptian government, reached an apparent impasse this week despite an earlier agreement by the Hamas leadership in Gaza to link a prisoner exchange deal to a two-year truce.
British lawmakers have met Hamas officials during a visit to Gaza.
Members of the European Parliament Palestine delegation travelled to Rafah last Thursday and Friday.
Chris Davies MEP said: "We asked for their reaction to the action last month and discussed their views on Palestinian re-unity and the possibility for a unity government. I can't say we got very far."
On Sunday, six MPs from the Britain-Palestine All-Party Parliamentary Group inspected Gazan sites damaged during the conflict.
Hamas gunmen used last month's conflict in Gaza to murder, kneecap and torture Palestinian political opponents suspected of collaborating with Israel, Amnesty International has reported.
The human rights organisation said they had learnt of at least two dozen cases during Operation Cast Lead in which men were abducted from their homes and later dumped with horrific injuries or found dead in hospitals.
The United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA) this week renewed aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip following several days of a temporary suspension imposed after Hamas violently seized the supplies.
In two separate incidents, Hamas gunmen stormed UN warehouses in the Gaza Strip and commandeered truckloads of supplies including flour, plastic bags and other basic commodities.
"We cannot subjugate our work to the Ministry of Social Affairs in Gaza…we need assurances that our work will be unimpeded," UNRWA spokesman Sami Mshasha said.
For a brief time last week, UNRWA, the UN agency responsible for Palestinian refugees, had a "man bites dog" moment. UNRWA's protest against Hamas' looting of its warehouses — to supply Hamas' own supporters or profiteer on the black market — was unprecedented, especially coming on the heels of another admission: that the terrible incident at the Al-Fakhura school near Jabaliya, on 6 January, had been misrepresented.
The political turmoil in Israel and the pressure on the Hamas leadership following Operation Cast Lead have brought about the first major breakthrough in talks over the release of captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the main broker between the two sides, has said that an agreement could be achieved by next week.
So there is "no ambiguity" in US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's position toward Hamas. The same, however, cannot be said for other international players, whose attitude to the militant group is getting ever more creative. And European equivocation, according to Israeli officials, is reaching an extremely concerning point.
An indication can be found in the monthly statements of the General Affairs and External Relations Council, where EU Foreign Ministers discuss topical issues and produce a declaration on Israel-Palestine.

Article ID : 280106 Last Review : December 23, 2005 Revision : 7.2 This article was previously published under Q280106 Important This article contains information about how to modify the registry. Make sure to back up the registry before you modify it. Make sure that you know how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up, restore, and modify the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 256986 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986/) Description of the Microsoft Windows registry On This Page SUMMARY Steps to set up a linked server to Oracle Common error messages and how to troubleshoot them REFERENCES SUMMARY This step-by-step article describes how to set up a linked server from a computer that is running Microsoft SQL Server to an Oracle database and also provides basic troubleshooting steps for common errors you may experience when you set up a linked server to Oracle. Back to the top Steps to set up a linked server to Oracle Back to the top 1 You must install the Oracle client software on the computer that is running SQL . Server where the linked server is set up. Install the driver you want on the computer that is running SQL Server. Microsoft only supports Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle and Microsoft ODBC Driver 2 for Oracle. If you use a third-party provider or a third-party driver to connect to . Oracle, you must contact the respective vendor for any problems that you may experience by using their provider or driver. 3 If you use Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle and Microsoft ODBC Driver for . Oracle, consider the following: Both the OLE DB provider and the ODBC driver that are included with Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) require SQL*Net 2.3.x, or a later • version. You must install the Oracle 7.3.x client software, or a later version, on the client computer. The client computer is the computer that is running SQL Server. Make sure that you have MDAC 2.5, or a later version, installed on the computer • that is running SQL Server. With MDAC 2.1, or with an earlier version, you cannot connect to databases that use Oracle 8.x or a later version. To enable MDAC 2.5, or later versions, to work with Oracle client software, the registry must be modified on the client computer that is running SQL Server as indicated in the following table. Microsoft Windows NT, Oracle Microsoft Windows 95, Client Windows 98, and Windows 98 SE Microsoft Windows 2000 ----------------------------------------------------------------- --------- 7.x [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Microsoft\TransactionServer Microsoft\MSDTC\MTxOCI] \Local Computer\My Computer] "OracleXaLib"="xa73.dll" "OracleXaLib"="xa73.dll" "OracleSqlLib"="SQLLib18.dll" "OracleSqlLib"="SQLLib18.dll" "OracleOciLib"="ociw32.dll" "OracleOciLib"="ociw32.dll" • 8.0 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Microsoft\Transaction Server \Microsoft\MSDTC\MTxOCI] \Local Computer\My Computer] "OracleXaLib"="xa80.dll" "OracleXaLib"="xa80.dll" "OracleSqlLib"="sqllib80.dll" "OracleSqlLib"="sqllib80.dll" "OracleOciLib"="oci.dll" "OracleOciLib"="oci.dll" 8.1 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Microsoft\Transaction Server \Microsoft\MSDTC\MTxOCI] \Local Computer\My Computer] "OracleXaLib"="oraclient8.dll" "OracleXaLib"="oraclient8.dll" "OracleSqlLib"="orasql8.dll" "OracleSqlLib"="orasql8.dll" "OracleOciLib"="oci.dll" "OracleOciLib"="oci.dll" 4 Restart the computer that is running SQL Server after you install the Oracle client . software. On the computer that is running SQL Server, set up a linked server by using the following script. -- Adding linked server (from SQL Server Books Online): /* sp_addlinkedserver [@server =] 'server' [, [@srvproduct =] 'product_name'] [, [@provider =] 'provider_name'] [, [@datasrc =] 'data_source'] [, [@location =] 'location'] [, [@provstr =] 'provider_string'] [, [@catalog =] 'catalog'] */ EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'Ora817Link', 'Oracle', 'MSDAORA', 'oracle817' 5 . -- Adding linked server login: /* sp_addlinkedsrvlogin [@rmtsrvname =] 'rmtsrvname' [,[@useself =] 'useself'] [,[@locallogin =] 'locallogin'] [,[@rmtuser =] 'rmtuser'] [,[@rmtpassword =] 'rmtpassword'] */ EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'Ora817Link', 'FALSE',NULL, 'scott', 'tiger' -- Help on the linked server: EXEC sp_linkedservers EXEC sp_helpserver select * from sysservers Note If you use Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle, you can use the @datasrc parameter to specify a DSN name. For a DSN-less connection, the provider string is supplied through the @provstr parameter. With Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle, use the Oracle server alias that is configured in the TNSNames.Ora file for the @datasrc parameter. For more information, see the "sp_addlinkedserver" topic in SQL Server Books Online. Back to the top Common error messages and how to troubleshoot them Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk. You can use either of the following two methods to retrieve extended information about any error that you experience when you execute a distributed query. Method 1 • In Query Analyzer, run the following code to turn on trace flag 7300. DBCC Traceon(7300) Method 2 Capture the "OLEDB Errors" event that is located in the "Errors and Warnings" • event category in SQL Profiler. The error message format is the following: Interface::Method failed with hex-error code. You can look up hex-error code in the Oledberr.h file that is included with the MDAC Software Development Kit (SDK). The following is a list of ten common error messages that may occur, together with information about how to troubleshoot the error message. Note If you are using SQL Server 2005, these error messages may be slightly different. However, the error IDs of these error messages are same as them in SQL Server 2000. Therefore, you can identify them by the error IDs. Note For performance-related issues, search SQL Server Books Online for the "Optimizing Distributed Queries" topic. Message 1 Error 7399: OLE DB provider '%ls' reported an error. %ls • Turn on trace flag 7300 or use SQL Profiler to capture the "OLEDB Errors" event to retrieve extended OLEDB error information.

This error indicates that a data modification statement is being attempted against an OLE DB provider when the connection is in an explicit • or implicit transaction, and the OLE DB provider does not support nested transactions. SQL Server requires this support so that, on certain error conditions, it can terminate the effects of the data modification statement while continuing with the transaction. If SET XACT_ABORT is ON, SQL Server does not require nested transaction support from the OLE DB provider. Therefore, execute SET XACT_ABORT ON before you execute data modification statements against remote tables in an implicit or explicit transaction. Do this in case the OLE DB provider that you are using does not support nested transactions.

The General's Swan Song (1983)

General is an average looking, 41 year-old, and shorthaired brunette. She is sitting behind her wood desk in a tailored suit sucking on lemons. I enjoy the scent of lemons, however, it reminds me of the time she scolded me for eating an apple at my desk. I ignore the double standard, as well as the uncomfortable chair I'm sitting in.

They're pretty brainwashed on the really crucial areas of politically correct dogma, they cross their legs and look down and get shy like little kids.

ELIZABETH JACKSON: A Victorian coroner is urging that the use of sedative prescriptions be more closely monitored.
Audrey Jamieson made the recommendation after finding that in Victoria in 2010, the misuse of prescription drugs contributed to more drug-related deaths than illicit drugs.
Samantha Donovan reports from Melbourne.
SAMANTHA DONOVAN: Victorian coroner, Audrey Jamieson, was investigating the death of a Melbourne man in his late 30's.
She found that he'd died unintentionally as the result of his abuse of prescription medication.
In her findings Ms Jamieson pointed out that in terms of drug related deaths in Victoria in 2010 prescription drugs, like diazepam and temazepam contributed to more of the deaths than illicit drugs or alcohol.
The Australian Medical Association's federal president, Steve Hambleton, is surprised by that statistic.
STEVE HAMBLETON: I think it would surprise a lot of medical practitioners; it certainly highlights the dangers of what really seems to be a fairly safe product. There's a lot of compelling evidence here that we should be moving to better control of benzodiazepines.
SAMANTHA DONOVAN: Coroner Audrey Jamieson found the man whose death she was investigating appeared to go to several doctors or "doctor shop" for his prescription medication.
She recommended the Victorian Department of Health implement a real-time prescription monitoring system to help stamp out the problem.
Earlier this year the Federal Government announced it is setting up a national electronic records system to combat the abuse of controlled drugs like morphine and codeine.
The AMA's Dr Steve Hambleton believes it may be worth considering monitoring sedative use as well.
STEVE HAMBLETON: At the point of prescribing and at the point of dispensing the pharmacists will be able to say well hang on a second, this has been dispensed you know sometimes even today, somewhere else.
And if we knew that, we can minimise the risks of the individual and we can maximise the benefit and maximise that opportunity to actually understand why someone is taking these drugs and do something about it.
SAMANTHA DONOVAN: Do we need a national system, a national real-time prescribing service or is it enough to do it on a state by state basis?
STEVE HAMBLETON: Really we do need to go national, I mean I think we are moving more towards e-health and electronic decision support for our health system, and certainly in some areas of the country one state boarders very close to the next, I mean I think about the ACT and New South Wales, we think about Albury-Wodonga, we think about places like Tweed Heads on the Gold Coast, where there is very easy cross border movements.
And so we do need to think of a national system to make sure that real-time we know where there has been "doctor shopping." And that gives us an opportunity to engage with our patients and treat them better and actually make sure we make decisions that are in their best interests and that drugs are not being diverted.
ELIZABETH JACKSON: That's the AMA's federal president, Dr Steve Hambleton ending that report from Samantha Donovan.

What the MUMOK museum could have done to Erwin Wurm is anyone's guess but he must have been pretty angry to throw a house at it! In actual fact, Erwin Wurm is a renowned Austrian sculptor and these pictures show 'House Attack' which was one of his more eye-catching installations. It was attached to the exterior of the biggest Austrian museum for international modern and contemporary art, MUMOK, to open Wurm's Keep A Cool Head exhibition in 2006. MUMOK's website describes the meaning behind the installation: "A symbol for conservative, small minded longings, the single-family house collides into the museum as a temple to the muses, and the museum itself now also becomes part of the sculpture." The museum itself is a dark closed block clad entirely in Basalt-lava-stone and designed by Ortner & Ortner.
