On May 4, The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences hosted a gala tribute to Sophia Loren, who will be 77 this September. The revelation in the film clips was not her beauty, range, bravura dramatic acting in such films as Vittorio De Sica's Two Women (the first Oscar win for a non-English speaking role) or iconic American roles, dancing in gold lame with Cary Grant in Houseboat (1958) or making Gregory Peck's jaw drop in Arabesque (1966)–both men were clearly besotted–but her comic sexy romps with Marcello Mastroianni in movies like De Sica's 1964 Marriage Italian Style, for which she was also nominated. Her strip scene with Mastroianni sent temperatures soaring in the theatre. They made 12 films together.
Video clips of this glorious actress are below.
Tall and imposing in a low-cut form-fitting black sequined gown, her chestnut hair wrapped in an elegant chignon, Loren had asked for old friend Billy Crystal to host the evening. Like John Travolta and most of the other American men that night, Crystal insisted on rambling on about her beauty, curves, body etc.
Crystal was a more delightful host than interviewer, reminding the crowd of how much he'd be welcomed back for a ninth stint as Oscar host. "A decaf espresso," suggested Crystal after a video of Roberto Begnini singing his own opera aria "Sophia Loren." Crystal did bring out the giggly comedienne in Loren, who seemed to enjoy cracking up and being diverted. How many of these interviews has she given over the years?
Most of the video tribute clips were dull, including Tom Hanks, but her frequent director Lena Wertmuller (one of the few women to be nominated for a directing Oscar) cut to the chase, reminding that Loren's beauty acted like a filter: "She was also great actress." Rob Marshall said that the day he shot the scene with Loren and Daniel Day Lewis "was most magic day I'll ever have making films."
Loren grew up poor outside Naples, and 50 years ago visited Rome at age 15 with her grandmother, who reluctantly agreed to stay when Loren refused to get back on the train home. Producer Carlo Ponti discovered her, and when she approached Vittorio De Sica while visiting Cinecitta, he promptly cast her in Gold of Naples in 1954. They went on to make 14 films together.
Her son
Claudio Eduardo Ponti choked up as he said: "You deserve every single ounce of this tribute tonight." Loren also lost it when she thanked his father for making her believe in herself when nobody else would. She told the story of how Anna Magnani didn't want to play the mother role with Loren as the daughter in Two Women. So Loren got to be the mom, with a 14-year-old actress as the daughter. "Thank you Anna Magnani," she said.
As an older actress, Loren admits that she's never content: she still seeks great roles, and wants to find just "the right thing, in the right moment… I'm sick when I don't work for year or two. There's no pleasure in working if you don't do the things you want to do."

I was managed by several different mates back then. Do you have any favorite moment with that proceeding? It has a fashionable design. Who are they who think that reason to reveal all about this feeling that provides so little knowledge referring to doing it? I know, I don't add to the question. This won't become any easier than this. Most of the setups for that can be learned easily. Obviously, my mind is not controlled by Martians! That has been an uncomplicated cut and paste response. That has been a superior location. That has decreased in recent days. Everyone else does that as well. Inevitably, it will take more time with this, but you get the belief.

That's it. Going on midnight and I'm exhausted. In the middle of all this I scrubbed floors, did dishes and laundry. I apparently need a 36-hour day! :) Night.

American Heart Association Praises Califf Nomination for FDA Commissioner
Washington, D.C., Sept. 17, 2015 – American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown issued the following comments today on the nomination of Robert M. Califf, M.D. as the next commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA):
"The next FDA commissioner will need to be skilled in working with all stakeholders to protect and improve the health of all Americans. We believe Dr. Califf is the perfect person for this job.
His distinguished career in medicine and clinical research makes him ideally suited to lead the FDA. As a cardiologist, his approach has been especially patient-centric. As a researcher, he has been an outstanding collaborator whose groundbreaking contributions to science have moved the field forward. Dr. Califf also brings significant leadership experience to this position, first as the founding director of the Duke Clinical Research Institute, and now in his current role as the Deputy Commissioner of Medical Products and Tobacco.
As a member of the association, Dr. Califf has been strongly committed to the fight against heart disease and stroke. One of his notable accomplishments was to assist us with the design of a community program in the state of North Carolina, which helped residents maintain a healthy blood pressure through monitoring and guidance from health care professionals.
Dr. Califf's extraordinary vision will help drive the development and delivery of innovative medical products and maintain the agency's critical efforts to combat the significant public health threats posed by tobacco and unsafe food.
In short, we could not be more pleased with the administration's nomination of Dr. Califf. We look forward to working with an FDA led by him and we urge the Senate to confirm him as quickly as possible."

Big update
Newly built installer. I have tried to make it as straight forward as possible.
Please only use the latest version of this mod, older versions have bugs.
(This mod is tested and working on Win 7 x64 Game Version 220.127.116.1160)
I have added many new camera mods.
Different chase cam heights, No Lag, No Jolt, No Pull Away, No Shake FX, Bonus MicroMachines Mode.
I have also added a No Intro Fix installer to get rid of the intel and codemasters intro videos. From v1.2 onwards I have also reduced the amount blur effect on all cars which is active on all mods in the package.
The installer will now let you backup your existing cameras, reinstall your backed up cameras and restore the games default cameras.
Simply run the Camera Mods program (desktop shortcut) each time you want to change your camera mod type to a different one. All modified files and the games default cameras are contained inside the exe file.
When installing the modified files the installer works from the top of the mod list down. For example, if you selected backup existing cameras, backup existing intro videos and one of the camera mods, the exe will perform those actions in that order.
When installing for the first time and you are asked for the root directory, please navigate to the GRID Autosport install directory.
Depending on which version you own and which operating system you have, it could be in a couple of places. eg.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\GRID Autosport
C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeMasters\GRID Autosport
C:\Program Files (x86)\GRID Autosport
When uninstalling the app using the add remove programs feature, All modified camera files and No Intro fixes that have been previously installed will remain in effect unless you first run the cam mods installer and select restore default cameras and restore default intro videos.
What the camera mods do...
Camera Files Backup and Restore:
Backup the existing camera files:
This will create a complete backup of your cars camera files
and place them in the cars\models\Backup folder.
Restore previously backed up camera files:
This will copy the camera files found in cars\models\Backup back into the cars\models directory
Restore the games default camera files:
This will install the original games camera files into the cars\models directory.
The original default files are part of the exe and are always available via the installer.
No Intro Fix - Backup and Restore Intro Video Files:
Backup the existing intro video files:
This will create a copy of the games original intro videos and place them in the video\Backup folder
Restore previously backed up video files:
This will copy the video files found in the video\Backup directory and copy them back to the video directory.
Install No Intro Fix:
This will install 2 small intro videos into the video directory that the game will use when it loads up.
The files are tiny so It gives the impression that there is no video at all.
Chase Cam Height and Bumper Cam height:
Raises the bumper cam height to 1.1 for all cars (Not DLC cars!)
Raises both of the chase camera heights. (Higher than default)
There are 8 different heights selectable for chase cams, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 for all cars. (Not DLC cars!)
The idea behind these mods is that I found the default views for the bumper camera
to be to low to the ground and the chase cameras view to be to low behind your car
obscuring the view of the track.
No Lag, No Jolt, No Pull Away, No Shake FX:
No Lag:
This removes the lag, tilt and roll of the camera when using chase cam views.
The car will stay in the centre of your view when driving instead of the camera swaying
left and right. This makes driving in chase view more like bumper cam mode and
I personally find that it makes driving your car much more precise as it is easier to line
your car up with the apex of corners more accurately. It does take a while to get
used to but once you have adjusted your driving style it really works great.
No Jolt:
By default the camera jolts slightly when changing up or down gears which I found distracting.
This mod stops the camera from jolting when gears are changed.
No Pull Away:
The idea behind this mod is that I did not like the way the car pulled further
away from your point of view the faster you car travels when in chase cam mode.
I found it made picking your racing line unpredictable. This mod stops the car pulling away
from the camera.
No Shake FX:
This disables nearly all of the camera shaking effects.
Giving you a steady view to let you concentrate on the track and driving better.
MicroMachines Mods:
Just a little fun, both chase camera have been raised way above the track for a top down perspective.
Not perfect as some tracks have tall buildings which get into your view.
The Mod that I use atm is height 2.0, No Jolt, No Pull Away, No Shake FX and No Lag
In the games OPTIONS & EXTRAS - OPTIONS - GAMEPLAY, I would also turn Tilt OFF and set camera shake to 0%
If you want to test the various mods without restarting the game simply ALT+TAB to the desktop when in the game. Then run the Mod installer and install the mod you want. Go back to the game window and then select a new car to race.
The newly installed mods will then take effect once the new car loads into the game
Enjoy, AgenyHeX 0007
GRID Autosport Camera Mods 1.4
Mod chase & bumper cam, No Lag, Jolt, Pull Away, Shake FX, Reduce Blur, MicroMachines Mode, No Intro

"At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti quos dolores et quas molestias excepturi sint occaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Nam libero tempore, cum soluta nobis est eligendi optio cumque nihil impedit quo minus id quod maxime placeat facere possimus, omnis voluptas assumenda est, omnis dolor repellendus. Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis debitis aut rerum necessitatibus saepe eveniet ut et voluptates repudiandae sint et molestiae non recusandae. Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat." "On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains."

Information About the Celtic Harp
Few instruments can be traced back to 4000 BC or are rooted in cultures spanning the globe. The harp holds a special place in the Old Testament, played by Jubal and King David, and in classical antiquity, played by Orpheus. Harps existed in Babylonia and Mesopotamia, depicted in drawings on the tomb of Pharaoh Ramses III. Harps are also found in carvings from the Middle East and in Greek sculptures. Also found in Africa, the harp traveled north to Spain and soon spread throughout Europe. The harp later arrived in South America brought there by the Spaniards.
The world's harps vary according to size, structure, decoration, and woods and materials used for the body of the instrument and the strings. But there is one thing they all have in common: their strings run vertical (rather than parallel) to the sound box. The correct term for describing a person who plays any harp other than an orchestra harp is "harper", not "harpist".
Early Irish harps were quite different from the large pedal harps that are used in modern orchestras. They were much smaller, originally held on the harper's lap. They had no pedals, and were carved in one piece from bogwood.
Griffith of Wales employed harpers in his court at the end of the 11th century. Both Irish and Scottish harpers were greatly admired for their skills throughout Europe, and they commonly visited each others countries to study, learn, and exchange tunes. The Trinity College Harp and Queen Mary's Harp are the oldest surviving Celtic harps and both date back from the 15th or 16th centuries. These harps were wire strung, rather than gut or nylon strung as they are today. The word "harp" has its roots in the Anglo-Saxon, Old German and Old Norse words, and means "to pluck." In Gaelic, they were known first as cruit and now as clarsach or clairseach.
Harpers were highly trained professionals who performed for nobility and enjoyed political power. In the 16th Century, Queen Elizabeth I decided to put a stop to this and issued a proclamation to hang Irish harpists and destroy their instruments.
The harp later became Ireland's national emblem, and it still adorns its flag, Irish Euros, and, of course, bottles of Guinness beer. Ironically, even with these great reminders of Ireland's love of the harp, most of the ancient airs and melodies once played on the harp are gone to the ages. Today's harpers are now taking up the challenge to reintroduce the Celtic harp to the modern world.
The Celtic harp produces pretty bell-like tones, which lend authenticity to a repertoire of traditional Irish and English music, and adds a unique sound to all music played on it. The Celtic harp is a naturally acoustic instrument, but it can be amplified when the need arises. This beautiful instrument is handcrafted of fine hardwoods. It can be easily carried; it can go where concert harps cannot. Its versatility and transportability make the Celtic harp suitable for a variety of occasions, events, and venues. The dynamics and beauty of the Celtic Harp lends charm and elegance to any event.

Seeing where the food comes from helps kids grasp why it's important to care for the earth.
2. Collect runoff. Have your preschooler place watering cans or buckets under the downspouts of your house. After a storm, she'll be thrilled to see that her cans are full, and she can use the rainwater to give house plants a drink.
3. Jump on it. "I lay milk jugs, aluminum cans, and boxes on the floor and let my son stomp on them to make them flat for recycling," says Dalia Stein of Columbus, Ohio. "He fulfills his little-boy need to destroy things while doing something nice for the environment."
4. Put your kids in charge of reminding you to switch off the lights when you leave a room. They can even pretend to issue you a ticket for infractions -- and they'll be less likely to waste energy themselves.Parenting.com: Go Green contest
5. Head outside. Gather apples or pumpkins at a pick-it-yourself farm. Seeing where the food comes from helps kids grasp why it's important to care for the earth. Plus, you'll be buying local produce -- saving the energy and packaging used to ship food long-distance. Go to pickyourown.org to find a farm near you.
6. Play with trash. Turn a neighborhood cleanup into a scavenger hunt. Create lists with pictures of plastic bottles, soda cans, and paper trash. Have your kids go hunting, and then recycle what they've found. (Just be sure everyone wears gloves!) Whoever finds the most items wins a prize -- say, any money you get back when you recycle the bottles and cans. Parenting.com: Moms' tips for an eco-friendly home
7. Build a toy lab instead of a bear. Throw your junk -- empty juice boxes, broken Barbie legs -- into a box along with glue, tape, and string so kids can create new toys and avant-garde art. Need ideas? Check out kinderart.com/recycle. The napkin rings made from toilet paper rolls are perfect for preschoolers.
8. Power down. Once in a while, have a No Electricity Day. Shelve the PlayStation, shut off the TV, and use only toys and games that don't have a plug or require batteries. You'll save energy, and your child may find he prefers Crazy Eights to another viewing of "Cars."
9. Organize a kids' clothing swap. Haul out outgrown jeans and sweaters and get together with a few mom friends to trade. You take home new-to-you clothes that fit your child now, which is healthier for the planet -- and your wallet -- than buying brand-new duds. Have a toy swap, too. Parenting.com: 8 natural home cleaning products
10. Spin an eco-tune. "We love the song on the Curious George soundtrack called 'The 3 R's,' for reduce, reuse, and recycle," says Kristi Walsh, a mom of three in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. "My kids sing it when we take the recyclables out or when they're washing their hands together to save water. It reminds them that even the simplest job can help the environment."

"Nature is not designed to satisfy our personal longings. Nature is what she is, and it's a privilege merely to be privy to her mathematical codes." – physicist Janna Levin
Date squares: If you write month, day and year, you likely jotted down a perfect square date this past week. April Fool's Day, 4-01-2009, forms the seven-digit number 4,012,009. The square root is 2,003, meaning that 2,003 times 2,003 equals 4,012,009.
Such perfect square dates are rare, says Aziz Inan, a University of Portland engineering professor. The 19th century had just two, the 20th a mere four. But the current century is blessed with 24.
The next perfect square April Fool's Day isn't until 6016. And to think most of us missed this one.
Battery charge: Claims of revolutionary batteries are as frequent as claims of gizmos that double gas mileage, and about as trustworthy. But a little-noticed report in Nature may actually herald a new dawn for wireless energy.
With a title like "Electromotive force and huge magnetoresistance in magnetic tunnel junctions," it's not surprising the initial findings snuck under the radar.
Yet the work by American and Japanese researchers amounts to proof that electric current can be produced from a new class of battery that runs on magnetic fields rather than the chemical reactions of conventional batteries.
That could lead to faster and cheaper computer hard drives without moving parts and could eventually even power cars.
University of Miami physicist Stewart Barnes and collaborators at the universities of Tokyo and Tohoku created the battery by applying a strong magnetic field to nanomagnets inside a device called a magnetic tunnel junction.
So far the experimental device is roughly the same diameter as a human hair and doesn't store enough power to illuminate a light-emitting diode (LED). But as with the initial over-looked announcement of the first transistor, these findings offer the prospect of transforming our world.
Growth spurt: Jon Fisher is living proof of Louis Pasteur's adage, "In the fields of observation, chance favours only the prepared mind."
For his doctoral thesis, the Queen's University biologist was studying a worm borer that attacks dogwhelks, a twisty-shelled snail common along North Atlantic shorelines.
At the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, he did a historical comparison with dogwhelks gathered almost a century ago around the Gulf of Maine.
Fisher realized that today's shells appeared longer than the museum specimens. Yet studies have shown that shoreline snails usually get shorter and thicker once predators appear, and snail-crunching crabs had burgeoned in the Gulf of Maine after the original collecting.
Because those sites were well documented, colleague Peter Petraitis from the University of Pennsylvania could collect more dogwhelks from the same places. Lo and behold, they were an average of 20 per cent longer than the museum specimens, the researchers report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Possible explanations include more abundant food supply for the snails, warmer waters, and preferential culling of smaller dogwhelks by the predator crabs.
"If this change has occurred unnoticed in a species we know a lot about, then what's happened to body forms in species not as well studied," asks Fisher, now at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth, N.S.
A time-travelling scientific expedition is en route to one of the last remaining pristine patches of ocean, around the Southern Line Islands in the central Pacific Ocean.

(CNN) -- Remember Conficker?
About 5 million computers still are believed to be infected with the Conficker worm.
The hugely talked-about computer worm seemed poised to wreak havoc on the world's machines on April Fool's Day.
And then ... nothing much happened.
But while the doom and gloom forecast for the massive botnet -- a remotely controlled network that security experts say infected about 5 million computers -- never came to pass, Conficker is still making some worm hunters nervous.
Phillip Porras, program director at SRI International, a nonprofit research group, said Conficker infects millions of machines around the world. And the malware's author or authors could use that infected network to steal information or make money off of the compromised computer users.
"Conficker does stand out as one of those bots that is very large and has been able to sustain itself on the Web," which is rare, said Porras, who also is a member of the international group tracking Conficker.
Still, computer users, even those infected with Conficker, haven't seen much in the way of terrifying results.
After the botnet relaunched April 1, it gained further access to an army of computers that the program's author or authors could control.
The only thing the author or authors have done with that power, though, is to try to sell fake computer-security software to a relatively small segment of Conficker-stricken computers, Porras said.
The lack of a major attack has led some people in the security community to assume that the worm is basically dead.
Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer with F-Secure, an Internet security company, says the people who created Conficker would have launched a major offensive by now if they were going to.
Hypponen, who is scheduled to speak about the Conficker botnet next week at Black Hat, a major computer security conference, said he thinks whoever made Conficker didn't mean for the worm to get so large, as the size of the botnet drew widespread attention from the security community and the media.
"This gang, they knew their stuff. They used cutting-edge technology that we had never before. ... I've been working in viruses for 20 years, and there were several things that I'd never seen at all," he said. "That, to me, would tell that perhaps this is a new group or a new gang, someone who tried it for the first time."
He added, "The more experienced attackers don't let their viruses or their worms spread this widely. They, on purpose, keep their viruses smaller in size in order to keep them from headlines."
Veteran botnet creators tend to hold the size of the malicious networks to about 2,000 to 10,000 computers to keep from being noticed, he said.
"Even if the [Conficker] gang would want to continue operations, most likely they would drop the current botnet and start something new," he said.
Don DeBolt, director of threat research for CA, an information technology company, said researchers are still watching Conficker.
"It's still being tracked, so it is still active out there, but certainly the threat has been mitigated by all of the attention and focus that it has received," he said.
DeBolt said the press hyped the Conficker story because it was tied to April Fool's Day and because it made so many computers vulnerable to attack.
He said other viruses and botnets pose more serious threats.
Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, a computer security company, said the infected Conficker network is still growing.
"The interesting thing is, the hackers never really did much with the botnet that they created. So they created an army of lots and lots of computers ... but they've never really done anything with it," he said. "They were almost frightened off doing it."
Others disagree with that assessment.
Hypponen said Conficker was not hype; it was the largest network of its kind seen since 2003 and deserved the attention it got from the security community and from the public.
Porras said theories about the the motives of Conficker's creator are based on speculation.
The important thing, he said, is that security experts will continue to work to reduce the number of computers infected with the worm.

Poetry- About a Girl..
About a Girl.
I endlessly search
through the rivers of oblivion and temporal time
wanting, needing,something,
someone to call mine.
Reeds of disdain fulfill what remains
and silence trumps what the
true heart contains.
A muted beauty
Stands sharp in the labyrinth of my eye.
My celtic Queen
walking the night
enters the hot dream
Circles round and round
chanting mystical tales of
of barren back beast too
Some say goddess of love
but this will not do.
Glancing kisses feathered touched and accrue
Where have you been my velvet dove, my sacred love,
I have been missing you.
Drop all of your guarded inhibitions
and let me run to you......!
I get little if any responses to my poetry on Hubpages, so if you don't for some reason, don't be disheartened. There are great poetry websites which generate a lot more commentary. I enjoyed reading your material and best wishes.
wonderful, slightly tortured,need for unfulfilled love
we have a brilliant writer here i have to say no time to read all your work now, but i will be back absolutely wonderful in the exteme love every word
Love this. Such a sweet flow to this writing!
tell me about them..... poetry at it's best there in my humble opinion
very nice...Oh, those damn inhibitions!
Injuries to my achilles tendon as I dismounted hastily from the horse.
Charming and delightful. I feel like dropping my guarded inhibitions as well as my clothes and running to you also.....
Oh.. so sweet.
I like it because it can be understood not only by a mystic but by anyone who is longing for a true love...
Hey Michael,
I like it! Keep writing. Looks like you have a loving armful in your avatar. Welcome to hubpages!

Mystic and Rider by Sharon Shinn Review!
I learned about Sharon Shinn through Sarah J. Maas' recommended authors, and I have to say I am not disappointed. I loved Shinn's writing, her characterization and story telling in general. The sweeping landscape of Gillengaria was easily visualized, and I became enthralled in the lives of the characters. I didn't want their journey to end, and I'm glad to see it hasn't. If you're looking for an enthralling fantasy, give this one a go. It was an easy read, as I didn't want to put it down.

Hi forumians,
In my project i have tab navigations (like 4 tabs in a page) when i click on the tab i will get that corresponding tab fields.
for tab navigation
i use

tab control is working well IE, FIREFOX,
But not in chrome browser i cant
do the tab navigation and link button clicks and Ajax calendar control
kindly tell some way to fix the problem
I have some site columns like "Show on Home", yes/no, and on the home page a cqwp which shows posts which have "Show
on Home" = yes.
This was working fine, then realize today that some of the site I had been setting up I had omitted the step of adding these columns –
no problems I thought, just add these columns to content type for Post. Sure enough then appearing in these sites missing them.
Then I noticed that on the home page all the blog items were appearing, and the filter not working.
Greetings. I'm trying to have Resource Governor (RG) not allow any queries run that use >= 1 second of CPU time, and it's simply not working.
I have no doubt that I am doing something incorreclty, but not sure what it is.
I configure RG with the following:
create FUNCTION dbo.rgclassifier_v1() RETURNS sysname
DECLARE @grp_name sysname
IF (SUSER_NAME() = 'sa')
SET @grp_name = 'GroupAdmin'
IF (SUSER_NAME() = 'testAdhoc')
SET @grp_name = 'GroupAdhoc'
IF (SUSER_NAME() = 'testReports')
SET @grp_name = 'GroupReports'
RETURN @grp_name
/****** Object: ResourcePool [poolAdhoc] Script Date: 09/28/2010 13:26:11 ******/
CREATE RESOURCE POOL [poolAdhoc] WITH(min_cpu_percent=0,
/****** Object: WorkloadGroup [GroupAdhoc] Script Date: 09/28/2010 13:25:30 ******/
CREATE WORKLOAD GROUP [GroupAdhoc] WITH(group_max_requests=0,
max_dop=0) USING [poolAdhoc]
ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR WITH (CLASSIFIER_FUNCTION = [dbo].[rgclassifier_v1]);
After doing this, I fire
Apologies if this is very simple and part of the basic SQL training but i'm very new to User Defined Functions (SQL 2000)
I am trying to create a function to take two variables, a varchar financial year value and an nvarchar financial month value and convert this to a datetime format, with the date automatcially being the 1st of that month.
Example: Take '2010/2011' and 2 (2nd financial month) as variables and convert to 2010-05-01 00:00:00.000
The function i am trying to create is below and i know that the code inside the function works fine, as i've tested it. The problem seems to be that the substring function is not working as it should be within the udf i am trying to create. instead
of returning 4 characters, its only returning 1. Is this a known issue with UDF, and if so, is there anyway around this?
CREATE FUNCTION FinYrDate (@FinYr varchar, @FinYr_Mnth nvarchar)
RETURNS datetime
DECLARE @ReturnedDate datetime
SET @ReturnedDate =
WHEN @FinYr_Mnth < 4 THEN convert(datetime,(cast((@FinYr_Mnth + 3) as varchar) + '-1-' + SUBSTRING(@FinYr,1,4)))
WHEN @FinYr_Mnth between 4 and 9 THEN convert(datetime,(cast((@FinYr_Mnth + 3) as varchar) + '-1-' + SUBSTRING(@FinYr,6,4)))
ELSE convert

Dear forum guys, I have a simple cube to analyze my customer's sales. I have a Time Dimension, a Product Dimension (with a few hierarchys) and a couple measures (sales and purchase amounts).
I also have defined a few Calculated Members, in particular the average sales and purchase amount over the last 12 months from the selected month.
I need to show the results in a SSRS Report: the user must select a month and the report needs to show the sales and purchase amount of the selected month and the average of the previous 12 months (both for sales and purchases).
Everything works perfectly if I test the cube using the Cube Browser or Excel 2007 as a client.
When I define the SSRS Report I cannot get to work with the calculated members (the average): I get strange numbers which are much higher than the real numbers.
I've tried both Matrix and Table reports.
Can anyone suggest me what I'm doing wrong: I think this should be a very common mistake.
Best regards
I wil try to describe below my issue, starting with the query i use.
SELECT b.[id_training_MD],
FROM [training_MasterData] as a
inner join [training_Log] as b
on a.id_training_MD = b.id_training_MD
inner join [training_Q_Log] as c
on b.id_training_Q_Log = c.id_training_Q_Log
WHERE (a.[Category] = 'Networking') and (c.[employeeID] = '123')
group by b.[id_training_Q_Log],b.[id_training_MD],b.[trainingScore]
having b.[id_training_Q_Log] = (select distinct max(b.[id_training_Q_Log]) FROM [training_Log])
My tables are:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Training_MasterData](
[id_Training_MD] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Category] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[TrainingName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL
Example of data from table:
[id_Training_MD] [Category] [TrainingName]
In the Search Keywords section, I have setup a keyword with synonyms, but when I search the synonym words, the same results don't display. For instance, my keyword is "test", synonyms are "tst" and "tset". When I search for the synonyms, the
test results do not display - am I missing something in the setup or search side? Isn't that how it's supposed to work?
Thanks in advance!
Any ideas as to why my 2 buttons aren't working?

Sprint Summer Showdown Announced
Sprint (NYSE:S) announced today the biggest promotion in its history as the title sponsor of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series: the Sprint Summer Showdown presented by HTC EVO 3D. The six-consecutive-race series runs from Indianapolis on July 31 to Atlanta on Sept. 4 and puts a $3 million purse on the line for a driver, a driver's charity and one lucky race fan.
Any driver who wins one of the five NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events between the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway will become a finalist for the $3 million Sprint Summer Showdown payout on Labor Day Weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway. If one of those five drivers wins the Advocare 500 at Atlanta, then the driver, the driver's charity and one lucky race fan will each collect $1 million.
"The HTC EVO 3D, the first wireless device that can capture and play back 3D images and video without 3D glasses is changing the game in wireless, so we thought it was appropriate to get the word out with a competition-based NASCAR Sprint Cup Series promotion that changes the game for drivers and fans," said Tim Considine, director of sports marketing for Sprint. "Giving these Sprint Cup drivers the opportunity to win a million for their charity, a million to change the life of a fan, and – oh, by the way – a million for their own wallet, will definitely ratchet up the on-track excitement. Add to that the hunt for those Chase for the Sprint Cup wild-card positions and race fans will not want to miss a lap of the action."
Fans can enter each week for their chance at the million-dollar prize by picking which driver they believe will win that week's race at sprint.com/speed or by visiting the Sprint Experience display at every NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event.
When they enter, fans will have access to expert picks, driver performance history at each track and more to give them the best chance of submitting a winning entry. After each week's race, one race fan will be randomly chosen from those fans who correctly picked that week's winning driver.
The lucky fan chosen after each race will enjoy an all-expenses paid trip to Atlanta Motor Speedway and be there in person to see whether his or her driver can win at Atlanta. If that driver claims the Sprint Summer Showdown presented by HTC EVO 3D, the fan will win $1 million. Fans can change their picks until the scheduled start time for each event.
"It's always great to win, but to make a difference in the lives of other people by doing so is why I'm excited about the Sprint Summer Showdown," said Carl Edwards, driver of the No. 99 Aflac Ford Fusion. "The fans are what make this sport, and helping charities accomplish their goals is extremely important to me. I'm hoping I'm the guy that gets to hand over $1 million to some lucky fan and to charity. I'll do everything I can to make it happen."
The six races that make the Sprint Summer Showdown presented by HTC EVO 3D will be contested on a variety of unique track designs, from the half-mile oval at Bristol Motor Speedway to the road course at Watkins Glen International, playing to different drivers' strengths.

Click here to see images of the XO 2.0
At a special One Laptop Per Child event held today, May 20, at MIT, OLPC Chairman Nicholas Negroponte provided a first glimpse at the next generation of the XO laptop.
The XO 2.0 takes a radically different approach from the current version of the XO laptop. This version is designed more as a e-book reader than as a traditional laptop.
No working model was displayed by Negroponte, but in photos the XO 2.0 was seen as a smaller sized (about half the size of the current XO) right and left pane e-book that could be used in multiple modes, including as a tablet and as a laptop. (Click here to see images of the XO 2.0, some of which were photographed from a presentation so I apologize for the quality.)
The XO 2.0 will use touch-screen technology rather than a traditional keyboard; in one image the XO 2.0 is shown with a keyboard superimposed over one of the panes while in laptop mode. The displays on the XO 2.0 are traditional 16 by 9 DVD viewing displays, which according to Negroponte is one of the most common formats put out by manufacturers due to the popularity of portable DVD players and other movie-viewing devices. The target is for the XO 2.0 to use just 1 watt of power and Negroponte said their goal is for the XO to reach a $75 price point. The OLPC has a 2010 launch target for the XO 2.0. Also during today's session, Negroponte referred to some of the news surrounding the OLPC of late and stated that there has been no change in the OLPC's mission. Negroponte did say the OLPC has changed its target strategy by being more open to countries that have pursued XO contracts, such as Uruguay and Peru. He also said the OLPC will restart the Give One Get One program sometime in August or September. Also speaking at this morning's session was new OLPC President Charles Kane, the former chief financial officer of the organization. Kane spoke about the unique challenges that the OLPC faces as a small nonprofit (with 26 full-time employees and under 30 consultants) and how, while many businesses feel threatened by the XO, the OLPC also needs good partnerships with businesses. On that subject, Kane and Negroponte spoke briefly about the recent agreement with Microsoft to provide a $3 version of Windows XP that can run on the XO. They also spoke about how this can be deployed in dual-boot versions for XO systems along with Linux.

Volume 8, Number 1, 2016 I Full Text PDF
The focus of this study is mainly twofold – firstly to locate Salman Rushdie's two children's fiction namely Haroun and the Sea of Stories (1990) and Luka and the Fire of Life (2010) in the storytelling traditions of east and west and to understand Rushdie's art of storytelling; and secondly to address the role of memory in this very act of storytelling and to analyze the metaphor of journey in that process of memorizing in these novels. This article seeks to analyze how memory in the form of 'minimarrative' can challenge the official version of story/ history and the concept of homogeneous empty 'Time' and how the gap between memory's 'private inside' and 'public outside' might be bridged in the scope of these two novels.
Keywords: storytelling, memory, journey, time, nation.
Salman Rushdie's Haroun and the Sea of Stories (1990) and Luka and the Fire of Life (2010) celebrate the triumph of storytelling, literary imagination and memory over power and dogmatism. This study is an attempt to find answers to the following questions in the scope of the two children's fiction by Salman Rushdie. Does memory influence only those who remember? Does it influence those who are remembered? Is the concept of memory static? Can it not change the bygone days? It is true, history or the past events directly or indirectly create our memory. Can memory create its own version of history? How can the shared memories of different social groups foster a sense of collectivity? Can memory serve the ethical purpose of a novel? I will seek to analyze in the process of remembrance how an individual and a community influence and complement each other.
In his essay "Nietzsche, Genealogy, History", Michel Foucault defines genealogy as an analysis of descent opposed to the evolutionary model of history whose main force is in the search for origin: genealogy liberates what has been forgotten or lost in the continuum of history and what has been set aside as accidents or errors in the imposed order of historical necessity. The genealogical approach with its task of tracing "passing events in their dispersions" questions a "suprahistorical perspective" that assumes a "teleological movement of events in the homogenized form of time" (Rabinow, 1984, pp. 76-100). In this study I will seek to understand how characters like Haroun and Luka can resist the "teleological movement of events in the homogenized form of time", symbolized by the figures like Khattam-Shud and Aalim.
In Haroun and Luka, Rushdie achieves the effect of "written orality" (Brenan, 1989, p. 139), in introducing Indian storytelling as it functions in the Kathasaritsagara, the largest available collection of tales in Sanskrit verse, written by Somadeva in the eleventh century. The Chinese box pattern of the Kathasaritsagara is metaphorically represented by the idea of ocean. Indeed the main plot of the Kathasaritsagara, the romantic adventures of Prince Narawahananda and his quest for the throne, is interspersed with many shorter tales which can be categorized as fables, anecdotes, religious sermons, gothic stories or romances; and several interlinked stories are narrated by the characters to clarify their arguments or to both instruct and amuse the listeners. The nonlinear mode of storytelling with the intertwining of multiple storylines is the oral one which is traditional in India and the Middle East. Like The Mahabharata, The Ramayana, Panchatantra, Jataka tales and The Thousand and One Nights they belong to the Indian tradition of cyclical, episodic, and digressive storytelling. The splitting of the name of the caliph of Baghdad, Haroun-al-Rashid, "into the names of father and son," as Meenakhshi Mukherejee observes in her essay "Haroun and the Sea of Stories: Fantasy of Fable?" invokes "the cycle of tales that for Rushdie has long been a synecdoche for an inexhaustible storehouse of stories" (The Perishable Empire, 2013, p. 153). Among the many other countless sources one important source is the tales of Panchatantra. Haroun's changing his turtle for his father's peacock has a subtle reference to the tales of "bird and peacock" and "bird and turtle" in Panchatantra. The Water Genie Iff reminds us of the tale of The Arabian Nights which is abounded with Genies of all sorts, including the Water Genies. Salman Rushdie returns to the theme of The Conference of the Birds (written in the twelfth century by Farid-ud-Din Attar) in Haroun and the Sea of Stories, 15 years after the publication of his debut novel Grimus (1975), where he first made reference to Attar's poetic masterpiece. In Attar's poem the bird hoopoe, as figure of the sheikh who guides the Sufi adept along the path of righteousness, appears at the beginning of the poem to tell the birds about their king Simurg. In Salman Rushdie's novel (1990) when the Water Genie asks Haroun to choose a bird to carry them to Kahani, Haroun chooses the hoopoe, the bird with a brain box with "memory cell" (p. 149) and the bird that "in old stories . . . leads all birds through many dangerous places to their ultimate goal" (p. 64).
The story of the novel Haroun and the Sea of Stories (1990) begins in an imaginary "country of Alifbay," with "a sad city, the saddest of cities, a city so ruinously sad that it had forgotten its name" (p. 15) and ends happily with a policeman's declaration of "We remembered the city's name" (p. 208). Hence, here in this story there is a journey from forgetfulness to the restoration of memory. The narrative of the story starts with the identity crisis of a community as it forgets the city's name and ends with the preservation of the lost identity by recalling the name. The name of the city is "Kahani" and "It means story" (p. 209). The novel tells the story of Haroun Khalifa and his father Rashid Khalifa and their adventure in Gup and Chup in search of Rashid's lost talent of storytelling after Rashid's wife Soraya's disappearance with a clerk who despises stories as useless untruth. While Soraya finds Rashid's impractical storytelling impossible to stand, Haroun on the other hand finds his father's skill fascinating. In the practice of storytelling, the talent of the storyteller is celebrated: "Haroun often thought of his father as a juggler, because his stories were really lots of different tales juggled together, and Rashid kept them going in a sort of dizzy whirl, and never made a mistake" (p. 16). In his essay entitled "Between memory and history: Les lieux de memoire" Pierre Nora (1989) felt that memory should be captured through individual means, because "the less memory is experienced collectively, the more it will require individuals to become themselves memory individuals" (p. 16). Nora says that "memory . . . is affective and magical" (p. 8). Thus the memory-maker is a kind of magician who controls the affections of his/ her audience. I find Pierre Nora's linking the concept of the memory-maker and magician quite interesting. Haroun and Luka often consider their father as a magician or juggler who controls the affection of his audience…Full Text PDF
