Is this Liquicap level sensor not the perfect match for your application?
People who bought this also watched
The Liquicap T FMI21 sensor is used in conductive liquids for continuous level measurement. The Liquicap T FMI21 is particularly suited to small measuring tanks and works independently of the tank's shape or material (plastic, stainless steel, concrete...).
It is resistant to aggressive liquids like acids or alkalis.
The probe and medium form an electric capacitor. If the probe is in air, a certain low initial capacitance is measured. When the tank is filled, the capacitance increases the more the probe is covered. The electronic insert of the probe converts the capacitance measured to a 4 to 20 mA signal in proportion to the level.

Who is he?
Kinmoto is a multi-faceted and somewhat cyclothymic character who is both extroverted and introverted at the same time. He is therefore capable of blending into a group or community and participating in global movements with heart and soul, revealing a strong sense of solidarity and an innovative spirit. This is especially true if he is able to live up to the vibrations of his master number 22 which confers great potential for accomplishment and an open mind, together with a sociable and dynamic personality. If circumstances don´t allow him to live in harmony with these vibrations, he could, by contrast, become timid and reserved with a tendency to withdraw from the world and seek peace and quiet. In this case he is likely choose a far less hectic pace of life and a somewhat mundane existence that allows him to take pleasure in unhurried activities such as gardening, for example. While it is true that Kinmoto is often interested by the social side of life, his reasons aren´t entirely altruistic. One mustn´t lose sight of the fact that Kinmoto is first and foremost a pragmatic man whose feet are firmly planted on the ground. He is concerned with notions such as profitability and efficiency, and his approach to life is very practical, however his morality might not always be in line with his principles. He needs to feel passionate about what he does, and once this emotion is aroused he is capable of revealing a considerable capacity for work. Furthermore, Kinmoto is a possessive man who may have a tendency to see people as « things », which is probably connected to his need for security. Beneath his liberal appearance he is actually a little conformist. As a child, he is a curious and energetic little boy who can be uncontrollable at times. He tends to want to do several things at once, so it is desirable to inculcate the notions of order and discipline to avoid him becoming dissipated. On the same note, physical activity and sport are also to be encouraged.
What does he like?
Kinmoto enjoys change, discovery and the many pleasures that this world has to offer. He is a man of conquest who loves adventure and doesn´t appreciate restrictions or monotony. He isn´t always the most disciplined of individuals, despite this being a quality that he admires in others - his love of freedom and travel often getting the better of him. In love, he desires both passion and security, elements that are not necessarily particularly compatible! If the 4 prevails (if he was born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd or 31st, or if his life Path Number is 4), he will be more inclined to comfort and stability. Otherwise, he might not always be of exemplary fidelity (especially if he was born on a 5th, 14th or 23rd, or if his life Path Number is 5)! Very uncompromising, jealous and intolerant, Kinmoto doesn´t see anything strange in expecting his other half to understand him, beyond words. His freedom is very dear to him, however this doesn´t necessarily mean that he will misuse it.
Get your free Personality test card now !!
What does he do?
Kinmoto is an outdoor type who is capable of tremendous physical effort while he has a great need for concrete achievement. He could therefore be particularly attracted to the areas of business or finance, anything associated with the public, broadcasting, travel, sport or leisure; professions of a scientific orientation or in connection with nature and the land...

Husbands busted for trading on wives' secretsMarch 31, 2014: 4:30 PM ET
It might be best to keep business and personal separate, at least for two married couples in California.
The Securities and Exchange Commission settled insider trading charges with two men in unrelated cases Monday for acting on confidential information gleaned from overhearing their wives' business calls.
Related: SAC Capital's Martoma found guilty
In one case, the SEC alleges that Tyrone Hawk of Los Gatos, California snooped on work calls made by his wife, a finance manager at Oracle, related to her firm's plan to acquire Acme Packet Inc.
Upon hearing the inside tip, Hawk purchased shares of Acme Packet ahead of the $1.7 billion acquisition that was announced in February 2013. Shares of Acme Packet subsequently spiked 23% on the news, and Hawk made roughly $150,000 in profit, the SEC said.
Hawk agreed to pay more than $300,000 to settle the charges -- without admitting or denying guilt.
In the other case, the SEC said that Ching Hwa Chen of San Jose, California gained illicit profits by trading on information regarding the not-yet-public earnings of his wife's employer, Informatica Corp. During a drive to Reno, Nevada for vacation, Chen overheard his wife's business calls discussing the fact that the the Silicon Valley company would miss its quarterly earnings target.
Related: How to really stop (some) insider trading
Despite being told by his wife not to trade Informatica stock under any circumstances, Chen bought positions designed to profit from a fall in share price. When shares of Informatica plunged 27% after the earnings release, Chen saw a windfall of $140,000, the SEC alleges.
Chen agreed to pay $280,000 to settle the charges, and also didn't admit or deny the allegations.
"Spouses and other family members may gain access to highly confidential information about public companies as part of their relationship of trust," said the SEC's Jina L. Choi in a press release Monday . "In those circumstances, family members have a duty to protect and safeguard that information, not to trade on it."

What is Sepa Transfer? How can I use it?
SEPA is the Single Euro Payment Area; it is a payment-integration initiative of the European Union for the simplification of the bank transfers denominated in Euro.
Why is it better than the regular BANK / IBAN transfer?
First, it is cheaper than the regular IBAN transfer, the cost of which is only 5 EUR for the transfer fee, instead of 20 EUR.
Second, it is much faster than the IBAN and the bank transfer, because the funds can arrive at its destination just within 24 hours, instead of 2 to 4 banking days.
So if you are in European Union and wish to buy Bitcoin and any other crypto and electronic currency Sepa is the best choice.

Apple stock hits record high, near $700September 14, 2012: 10:53 AM ET
Another day, and another record for Apple's stock.
Shares of Apple (AAPL) topped their day-old all-time high, hitting $696.82 Friday amid strong enthusiasm for the iPhone 5.
Apple unveiled its new faster and thinner iPhone earlier this week, and pre-orders for the new device sold out in less than an hour when they began Friday at 12:01 a.m. Pacific (3 a.m. ET). Last year, it took 22 hours for pre-orders to sell out.
Analysts on Wall Street are predicting the new smartphone will be a major success.
Related: 4G iPhone 5 sounds death knell for 3G
"Unlike last year's release of the iPhone 4S, this year's iPhone 5 announcement comes as a significant departure from previous models," said Daniel Gleeson, mobile analyst for IHS. "The addition of a new, larger screen is a fundamental change in product design. Furthermore, the iPhone 5 is the first member of Apple's smartphone line to feature 4G long term evolution (LTE) connectivity, accelerating data speeds dramatically compared to previous models. These major improvements will drive strong sales for the iPhone 5."
IHS forecasts that the iPhone 5 will push Apple's smartphone shipments up 60% in 2012 from a year earlier. In fact, IHS expects the fourth quarter will be Apple's biggest quarter for iPhone sales ever.
The gains in Apple's stock brought the company's value to a record $653 billion. Last month, Apple overtook Microsoft (MSFT) as the most valuable publicly trading company of all time, without factoring inflation.>
Meanwhile, Amazon (AMZN) shares also hit a fresh record high of $264.11 early Friday, while Google's (GOOG) stock remains just shy of its all-time high.
The broader U.S. stock market was also gaining ground Friday as the QE3 rally continued for a second day on Wall Street.

Researchers have mainly relied on data from government air monitoring stations to study the health effects of air pollution exposure. The limited information provided by sparse stations has low spatial and temporal resolution, which is not able to represent the actual exposure of individuals. A tool that can accurately monitor personal exposure provides valuable data for epidemiologists to understand the relationship between air pollution and certain diseases.

Fact or Faked? Faked!
From the same network that
brought us Ghost Hunters, Mary Knows Best, Destination
Truth and other unreality reality television, SyFy hosts the show
Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files.
Billed as the "Mythbusters
of the Paranormal," a title coveted (but undeserved) by every paranormal
show, Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files supposedly "revolutionizes
paranormal programming by investigating the evidence witnesses post
on the Internet every day. Have you ever seen a photo or video online
and wondered, 'Is this real?' This is the show that will answer
that question."1
But does the show answer that
question correctly, and truthfully? And is the very question honest?
The show examines paranormal
claims found online, to determine whether the phenomena captured are,
of course, "fact or faked". As we will see, it seems that the show's
cast and producers may be the ones doing the faking.
"Crack Team"
The investigative team consists
of "experts" who claim to have a background in paranormal research.
There is Ben, the former FBI agent; Jael, the journalist; Austin, the
"stunt expert"; Chi-Lin, the "photography expert"; Devin, the
"tech specialist"; and Bill, the "lead scientist."
For all of their supposed expertise,
the team members' research methods are dubious. Their initial approach
is to recreate anomalous phenomena, quite correctly, but then they proceed
to recreate the phenomena badly, or they recreate irrelevant phenomena.
They mistake scientific tools for the scientific method. They aren't
familiar with basic principles of skepticism, such as Occam's razor
and the axiom that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
In their conclusions the unexplained becomes the "inexplicable"
and they appeal to supernatural explanations over natural ones.
But determining whether footage
is "fact or faked" still doesn't determine whether it's paranormal
or not. Even if the phenomenon and filming is legitimate and not staged,
that doesn't presuppose that what is captured is paranormal.
Over the course of two seasons,
the team has investigated claims of a "ghost car," a "haunted
playground swing," UFOs, lake monsters, spirit writing, an anti-gravity
spot, cattle mutilation, ectoplasm, Bigfoot and an alleged chupacabra.
They use a wide range of cutting-edge paranormal reality TV equipment,
including pocket radar, electromagnetic (EMF) meters, bionic ears and,
most important, a "scientific kit" containing:
Safety eyewear, black Sharpies,
black ink pens, reclosable bags, evidence envelopes, swab boxes, polypropylene
screw cap evidence collection tubes, sterile cotton tip swabs, transfer
pipettes, sterile water ampule, tongue depressors, evidence slide boxes,
plastic disposable tweezers, and disposable blades.2
In one episode, the team visits
Fishers, Indiana, to investigate a phenomenon they've already decided
is a "cemetery phantom." The "evidence" features footage of
a bright light they call an "orb," examples of Electronic Voice
Phenomena (recordings of alleged spirits), and increased EMF activity
near the tombstone of a civil war soldier. The team devises some experiments
to reproduce the effects, and because they can't reproduce the phenomena
exactly, they theorize that the original video shows evidence of paranormal
activity. They conclude that the film has captured either the "ghost
of a civil war soldier" or a "ghost train" because the cemetery
is located near a former railroad crossing.
What takes them thirty minutes
to prove incorrectly takes one scientific paranormal investigator three
minutes to disprove. Doctor Atlantis, aka Blake Smith, of the Monster
Talk podcast (http://www.skeptic.com/podcasts/monstertalk/) examined the footage and the theories
and produced his own video analysis.3 For all of the Fact
or Faked team's elaborate tests and elaborate theories, they never
once reviewed the clip in slow motion. In doing so as a first step,
Smith revealed that the unearthly "train" was an earthly spider
on a web. "Oh what a tangled web we weave…when we run around in
the dark with video cameras," he concludes.
On the show's online forums
hundreds of viewers deduced that the footage captured a spider.
But this article discusses
an episode that never even made it to air.
A Paranormal Publicity Stunt
On YouTube there is a video
called Ouija Board: Planchette moves on its own!
4 This has become a "viral video" and has enjoyed over
173,000 views. In the clip, two people are playing with a homemade Ouija
board when the planchette spells out the name "Lisa." Suddenly,
the planchette darts across the board, seemingly of its own accord,
to rest on the letter X. The participants jerk their hands off
the planchette in fear. They attempt the reading one last time, and
again the planchette moves by itself. The frightened participants end
the session. They jokingly accuse each other of "pushing" the planchette,
as does a third, unseen camera person in the background, but they all
deny staunchly that any trickery was involved. To demonstrate that there
are no magnets or wires involved the camera person films above and below
the Ouija board.
This video was actually created
by skeptics.
Produced by the Rocky Mountain
Paranormal Research Society http://rockymountainparanormal.com/, this was part of a promotional video
for a TV project called Colorado X. This is the significance
of the planchette moving back to the X symbol. But the planchette
wasn't moved by spirits, demons or even the ideomotor effect; it was
moved by string.
To achieve the movement, fishing
wire was fed through a hole in the center of the X on the board,
and attached to the front leg of the planchette. A fourth unseen participant
was sitting to the right side of the board holding the string. At the
appropriate time, the string was tugged and the planchette zipped across
the board, landing on the X as though this were a message from
A reading of the viewer comments
indicates that the video has attracted a wide range of paranormal theories
to explain the incident. Many believed without question and warned of
the dangers of trafficking with the occult. Here are some of the remarks:
people shoudn't mess with
ouija tables it's not safe ! lonewolf12345671
Ive seen some fake ones
but IDK about this one. Normally people move it with fishing line. But
this one moved to fast and stopped to suddenly for that GodsmackFTW
I don't know about fake,
I just know when my roommate and I tried this in college, we
both felt this eerie feeling first before it started moving on it's
own, but we both let go of it right away cause it was too weird! We
were like 'forget this!' lol nsgutube
They are obviously not pushing
it because the thing moved on it's own really smoothly, and if they
pushed it it wouldn't go in a straight way.. I beleive in this. But
i want to know who created it? Donkeytricks
i have only use the weegi
board ones and ever since it is real if u dont belivie it do it for
yourself this is real and somtimes the spirts dont go away bellybuchelli
Only a few viewers figured
out that the planchette was moved by string. Other skeptical observers
hypothesized that ball bearings and magnets were used, that there was
sleight of hand, or that the ideomotor effect was in play.
Could the planchette
move a little bit more dramatically?
Along came John Maas, producer
of Fact or Faked. Scouting for paranormal claims online, Maas
and his staff discovered the Ouija board video and thought it perfect
"evidence" for an episode of the show. But the footage wasn't
sensational enough. Without asking if the footage was "fact or faked,"
Maas asked the group to re-film the scene to emphasize that no string
or magnets were used, but to also show the planchette moving more dramatically
across the board.
The producer of Fact or
Faked was asking the group to modify the video.
The group decided to correspond
with Maas, to investigate the show's ethics and see if they would
figure out the explanation. But it was clear they were only interested
in fabricating the video further. In an email, the producer gave directions
for a re-filming.
What the Supervising Producer
is looking for:
1) Ask them if they can lift up the planchette at end to show there
is no magnet…
2) Could the planchette move a little bit more dramatically?5
Maas was asking the group to
show that there was no trickery involved, but also asking them to
alter the video to make it more sensational. He wanted them to reshoot
the video ostensibly to trick the team, and the audience, into believing
that this was, or could be, real paranormal activity. Maas was asking
the group to fix the footage, thereby biasing the results and the research.
The group complied and reshot
the scene, submitting it to Maas. However, it still wasn't theatrical
enough. Maas replied:
Great! I'll show the supervising
producer – really good, though I'm sure she's going to ask to see the
planchette move a bit more towards the end…hate to ask you again when
you went back and got all that footage, but let me know if there is
a shot of the planchette really zooming around…(don't even need all
those dudes there again, just a really dramatic planchette zoom)6
Maas contacted his supervising
producer and sure enough, she wanted a more dramatic movement of the
planchette. The planchette zooming across the board at the end of the
scene was the paranormal money shot, and it was worth it to the producers
to sweeten the deal.
Hello! It's Jon Maas – so
the Supervising Producer wants the clip, but a little bit different.
If the footage is good enough for a case and it comes in 48 hours, we
can pay a license fee of $1500…
Don't need necessarily everyone like the first video – ie you don't
need to round up the posse but…the story of the place is good enough…
The supervising producer has requested the clip be:
* Less staged (more like the first video)
* A bit more freakout like the first video
* Planchette moves a bit more dramatically
* Once again show the "no magnets" thing
If it gets approved by the network, $1500 license fee. Let me know either
$1500 is a cruel offer with
which to tempt starving skeptical paranormal investigators, but this
would have been a pact with the devil. It would have been interesting
to follow through with the project and then expose the producers, but
there would be problems with that approach. Then the group would be
closely involved in the filming and fabrication of the episode; they
would lose the rights to the video and to the way in which they would
be portrayed. A one-off fee would damage their reputation for all time.
Fifteen Minutes of Fame
Fact or Faked is the
paranormal equivalent of wrestling shows. The "evidence" isn't
proof of the paranormal, but proof that some shows are fixed. The fact
is that Fact or Faked wanted to "enhance"
the video, to falsify the evidence and the results. There is no proof
that the producers intended to present the footage as factual or as
paranormal evidence, but they did warn that they would use the video
and portray the group in any way they liked. The producers never once
asked if the footage was faked, but they did ask that the footage be
altered; it is tacit that they knew the video was faked. The request
to move the planchette more dramatically reveals the dishonesty and
the lack of legitimacy of the show.
In this instance, Fact or
Faked would have been "faked"—in an inside job.

A horrifying and darkly humorous 'Act of Killing'
"The Act of Killing" is among the most profound, formally complex, and emotionally overpowering documentaries I've ever seen. It's also, by turns and sometimes at once, luridly seductive and darkly comic and physically revolting -- a movie that makes you want to laugh and cry and retch and run out of the theater, both to escape the awful things the film is showing you and to tell everyone you know that they need to see it, too.
In the early 2000s, Joshua Oppenheimer, a now 38-year-old documentarian from Texas, was living in Indonesia researching a film about labor unions when he began to hear whispered stories about a massacre that took place between 1965 and '66. In this under-documented atrocity, the country's newly installed right-wing dictatorship ordered the slaughter of something like half a million suspected "Communists" (including intellectuals, union organizers and ethnic Chinese), making use of local thugs and paramilitary organizations to carry out their death edicts. But Oppenheimer soon found that his subjects were afraid to tell their stories publicly -- an understandable fear, given that many of the men who had murdered their family members still hold powerful positions in their community. The killers, though -- that was another matter. Oppenheimer began to notice that, far from cloaking their deeds in shame, the perpetrators of the atrocities were eager to brag about their four-decade-old exploits in graphic detail. After his labor documentary, "The Globalization Tapes," was done, he decided to make another film -- one that would allow the killers not only to tell their own stories, but to re-enact them as grisly pageants complete with costumes, makeup and props.
The choice to incorporate elements of fiction, fantasy and Hollywood genre filmmaking into the documentation of a recent historical horror was a wildly risky gambit on the filmmakers' part (the film was co-directed by an Indonesian who, like all the Indonesians on the crew, is credited only as "Anonymous." Werner Herzog and Errol Morris -- both known for their ambitious experiments with the traditional documentary form -- served as executive producers.) But the result is far from disrespectful to the memory of the massacre's victims. On the contrary, by exploring the fantasy lives of the killers (in which they imagine their murderous past selves as cowboys, film noir gangsters or the heroes of kitschy musicals staged near waterfalls), the film cruelly exposes the process by which even the most damning truths can be transmuted, with time, into self-mythologizing fictions.
"The Act of Killing" was filmed in the town of Medan in North Sumatra, where its two chief subjects, Anwar Congo and Herman Koto, were among the most feared executioners during the purge. Nearly 50 years later, they still wield enough local power that when they set out to recruit extras for a house-burning re-enactment, few of the terrified townspeople dare to turn them down. In one early scene, the dapper, charismatic Congo demonstrates his garroting technique on a smiling underling, then dances an impromptu cha-cha on a roof he once used as a killing chamber. From there, things get ever stranger and sicker, as the production value of the assassins' filmed re-creations mounts in tandem with the scale of the violence they recount. Dressed as cowboys, the men ride to the rescue of a woman (an elaborately cross-dressed Herman Koto) who turns out to be a Communist traitor. Later, they coach a group of local children in the art of pretending to beg for their lives -- an exercise which, not surprisingly, quickly reduces the frightened kids to real tears. (The killers' offhanded psychological abuse of even beloved children -- as when Congo takes his grandsons onto his lap to watch video of gramps being fake-tortured -- is one of the hardest-to-watch elements in this never-easy film.)
There are moments -- especially in the highly stylized dance numbers that begin and end the movie, involving identically dressed showgirls who emerge from an enormous concrete fish -- when Oppenheimer could be accused of aestheticizing -- and hence distancing himself and us from -- the raw suffering his film otherwise fearlessly explores. And while I get that this documentary's purpose isn't didactic, I wish I'd left the theater knowing a little more about the cultural and historical context in which these horrors occurred. But the choice to identify the killers' merrily sadistic exploits with the history of Hollywood cinema isn't some arch postmodern affectation on Oppenheimer's part. The analogy comes straight from Congo and Koto themselves, who before they were conscripted as government hit men worked as "movie theater gangsters," scalping tickets outside the local cinema. Congo cites John Wayne and Al Pacino among his tough-guy influences, and recalls the feeling of walking out of Elvis Presley pictures in a cheerful mood, ready to take on the day's killing with a smile. As viewers, we're privy to the grinding gears of the multiple defense mechanisms (denial, repression, delusional grandiosity) through which Congo, Koto and their former colleagues manage to carry on with, and even enjoy, their lives. "War crimes are defined by the winners," a death-squad leader points out. "I'm a winner, so I can make my own definition."
It's the killers' crowing, unrepentant impunity -- we witness as their exploits are celebrated by the president and vice president of Indonesia in public ceremonies, and praised by the cooing female host of a stomach-churning TV talk show -- that sets "The Act of Killing" apart from most documentaries about genocide. This isn't a truth-and-reconciliation scenario in which survivors are brought forth to confront their oppressors (though the director is currently at work on another film that will do just that with one Indonesian family affected by the massacre). With its relentless focus on the pathologies, both personal and sociopolitical, that enable ordinary human beings to commit mass murder, "The Act of Killing" is resolutely uncathartic. The film ends, harshly and unforgettably, on the repeated, unproductive dry heaves of a once-prolific executioner who, after watching himself play the part of his own victim in a mob movie-style re-enactment, has begun -- maybe -- to grasp that his actions all those years ago ended dozens of lives just as real and human as his own. He heaves and heaves, but there's nothing inside to come out.

Well, it's been a GREAT week here in Switzerland while working with my partner Trivadis. Today, we wrapped up a two-day course on Designing for Performance (in Geneva) while on Monday/Tuesday we did a two-day course on Indexing for Performance in Zurich. The food, the wine, the cheese, the butter, yum! Oh… and the questions/comments/technical focus, etc. has all been great. :) I'm flying home today (Sat) so wish me luck on having internet access at 36,000 feet again (probably not…I'm flying United instead of Lufthansa – and it's only Lufthansa that has FlyNet). Wow – can you imagine where we're going to be in only a couple more years? Internet access everywhere! (hmmm.. how do we escape? well, that's another blog entry for another day :)
Anyway, one of the great things about teaching is that I get to meet all sorts of people and work through all sorts of interesting problems… And – this blog entry is based on a discussion I had with [a very blogless ;-] Meinrad Weiss – a Trivadis employee/consultant AND a fellow RD. (I was bullied into blogging by CV so now I do my part and do the same to others)
I can't remember how it started but somehow a discussion started on Top 100 PERCENT being used in views. I mentioned that while this was a good trick in SQL Server 2000, it has been REMOVED from SQL Server 2005 (meaning that TOP 100 PERCENT does NOT order the data within a view). Theoretically, I agree with this decision – data within a view should NOT be ordered. A view should SOLELY define a tabular set. It is up to the query which is accessing the view to define the presentation of the view. Using TOP within a view should be limited to ONLY when it is used to further define the data set (i.e. TOP 10 PERCENT… ORDER BY TotalSales DESC makes perfect sense).
Now, having said that – it was a cool trick – but with Pros/Cons. The obvious Pro is simplicity in access. While adding the ORDER BY to the query against the view really isn't all that difficult, it does make it a bit easier for quick/simple query access. BUT – there's a HUGE con here too. If the view starts getting used for other purposes (like in joins to other tables), then the being ordered before the joins, etc. can cause you an additional step that is NOT necessary. As a result, performance was compromised.
Long story short, I generally recommended against it but it was still cool. So – then Meinrad started playing and came up with – what about 99.9 on a table that has < 100 rows OR 99.99% on a table that has < 1000 rows, etc. And – yes – that DOES work, because SQL Server rounds to 100%. So, you are back to getting 100% of your data, ORDERED within a view. But – you need to set your percentage to an appropriate percentage based on rows – but what if you don't know the row count? How about TOP n where n = the max value for a bigint (9,223,372,036,854,775,807)?? That should always work…and it does.
OK – so what's the point? Yes, we DO have a workaround for the removal of TOP 100 PERCENT in SQL Server 2005 – but be CAREFUL – you are potentially shooting yourself in the foot. If this view is NEVER used for anything but SELECT * FROM View, you're OK. If you start adding joins, etc. then you might get into trouble. In the showplan below – the data returned is EXACTLY the same.
C.ContactName, Sub.*
FROM OrderSubTotalsViewOrdered2 AS Sub
JOIN Orders AS O ON O.orderid = Sub.Orderid
JOIN Customers AS c ON c.customerid = o.customerid
WHERE C.City = 'Madrid'
ORDER BY SubTotal DESC
SELECTC.ContactName, Sub.*
FROM OrderSubTotalsViewNOTOrdered AS Sub
JOIN Orders AS O ON O.orderid = Sub.Orderid
JOIN Customers AS c ON c.customerid = o.customerid
WHERE C.City = 'Madrid'
ORDER BY SubTotal DESC
BUT – the first plan of execution queries against the ORDERED set and the second against the un-ordered. Check out the showplans below:
This is a VERY COMPELLING reason to BE CAREFUL ordering data within a view. While the trick does work, please use it sparingly.
If you want to play with the views created above, you'll need a copy of the Northwind Database and you'll need this script: Top 100 Percent in SQL Server 2005.sql (4.46 KB).
Have fun!

Marketers Continue to Struggle with Data, Resources and Integration
At 46 percent, integration with customer data emerged as the top email marketing challenge in 2013, followed by lack of resources and staff at 40 percent and integration with other marketing channels at 36 percent. With the rapid proliferation of data giving rise to the big data phenomenon, it's clear that marketers need to find a solution for managing the data and integrating it with other channels to drive relevant and effective messaging. The lack of resources and staff experienced by email marketers makes it even more critical to have a solution that can address their data needs today and in the future.

I'm French, currently living in the Netherlands. I lived in Paris for almost twenty years, and I know very well my country (and of course... my language, French, my mother tongue). I taught French for two years in Spain, conversation class about culture essentially. In Paris, I was Spanish teacher, I have the Agregation degree which is the highest degree for teaching in France, I'm bilingual. I've participated too in several editorial projects about Spanish teaching and DELE preparation. I have a Spanish Studies Master and I'm currently doing a research about the Spanish and Sefardi Judaism. I have a French as foreign language and a Religious Studies Masters too. I enjoy sharing what I know. I'm a very eclectic person and curious about everything. To give you an idea, my interest (and sometimes hobbies) are: philosophy, spirituality and religions in general, meditation, psychology and psychoanalysis, history, geography, literature, writing (in particular creative writing, and I'm used to write everyday), art (painting, photography), sciences (vulgarisation level) and cultural matters in general. I travel a lot (as a backpacker), sometimes by foot, and the places I know well are France, the Netherlands, Italy and Serbia. One of my qualities is my capacity of adaptation, I enjoy preparing documents to help the student to acquire autonomy, but I love speaking too, and it's the best way to learn a language. I'm waiting for your message, please when contact me, explain quickly who you are, why you want to study French and what you are looking for exactly. See you soon. Read more
