While working on reports, we usually get “#ERROR”,”N/A” or “error: Input string was not in a correct format”error.
The major problem behind these issues is data type mismatches and some additional reasons that cause these issues.
Let’s talk about how to resolve these issues and why we get these issues.
· Start your sql server profiler (Tools menu-> Sql Server Profiler) with Analysis services as service type. Execute/Preview your report and extract/copy the MDX from the profile. Now execute this MDX on the Analysis Services query browser. Make sure that your report’s aggregate column is available in the output. If you see your column unavailable in the output then you need to play a workaround to get include your missing column in the output.
The reason behind this missing column is if the resultant of your entire column is NULL and you are using Non empty/Nonempty then query engine exclude the column from the output to increase the query response time.
· Sometime due to mishandling the expression in the MDX query/Calculated measure, we get “Infinity”,”N/A” or scientific numeric format like 1.00E+12 in the MDX output.
To see the expected result at report level, we need to handle these problems at MDX level by using appropriate expression/fields/methods.
I was using COALESCE EMPTY and changing the value to 0, then the SUM would return an error in the SSRS report. the VAL function did the trick for me. Thanks.

The 1082 IMX is an absolutely perfect sidedrifting rod for those faster seams just loaded with steelhead.
With a bit faster action than the 1141, this IMX was created with steelhead in mind. It is extremely light weight which keeps your boat guests from fatiguing on the river. The 1082S is a rod that I highly recommend if you are fishing with new-ish people because the ultra sensitive IMX graphite allows you to them to easily feel the difference between a tick on a rock and the soft, tender bite of a steelhead. The shorter length is ideal for boat fishing as it helps when trying to bring a hot fish to the boat, the last thing you want to worry about is where you need to stand in the boat or how you’re going to bring a fish all the way to the surface with your arm trying to hold the rod tip up. Pricing at $395 retail to truly enhance your sensitivity, the same dimensions also comes in a GL2 for just $220 if you are targeting kings or larger salmon.

Principal Project Officer for the Anzac Centenary in South Australia, Andrew Natale, gives us the lowdown. He says this month is full of events for the whole family, and our rural areas aren’t left out of things! Can’t be bothered going out? No problem. Andrew tells us how to participate via the internet if that’s more convenient. But why wouldn’t you want to pack the family in the car and head up to the Riverland for a great family short break and participate in The Anzac Centenary. A unique opportunity for all South Australians.

After all these reports I’ve been writing, I bet every reader has understood by now how wondrous fungi are. Moreover, as researches are exploring new possibilities, I think it’s very clear what an environmentally sustainable alternative the kingdom of fungi offers to already existing mundane things such as packaging, bricks or even paper.
So why would the fashion industry be the exception to this rule? Even though inspiration might come from past trends, designers are up to experimenting with different things in their humane quest to innovate the craft. Nowadays, probably the most inspiring tool is provided by technology which offers a new and limitless playground. Also, this technology is used for testing ideas for products with smaller impact on the environment, a subject that keeps on expanding as the concern regarding the future of our planet is growing. Thus, it seems more than logical that the second most polluting industry on Earth should look for ecological alternatives.
One such initiative comes to life through Neffa company. Their name means in Dutch “wanting to do things just that bit differently” and their self-described mission is “to create textiles that act like living organisms and with which we live in symbiosis”. They aim to create materials using biotechnology that would resemble the skin and its dynamic. They are researching several organisms, for example algae and mycelium, but what I’ll be talking about is how the company uses mycelium to create a sort of textile, which they called mycoTex.
The soul of the company is Aniela Hoitink, a textile designer. In the beginning she was interested in creating a textile out of a living product, which will eventually end up in a wearable piece of clothing. That is how she began experimenting with mycelium that is the vegetative part of a fungus. What encouraged her in using the mycelium were the insulating and moisture-absorbing proprieties of it, which a lot of textiles miss. However, she was not alone in her endeavor: the University of Utrecht and Maurizio Montalti were helping with the technical part. What they tried to experiment with was: growing mycelium onto natural fibers, growing it with polymer spacer fabrics and growing it in a 3D star shaped petri-dish.
Some of the initial findings of these experiments were that mycelium does not grow on a tight knitted or woven fabric and that mycelium does not use the textile as a food source.
Eventually, Aniela developed the composite product named MycoTex and then decided to build a textile out of modules and shaped these circular pieces around a body form, thus creating the Neffa dress. This creation is groundbreaking because it can be built whilst being made, fitting the customer’s wishes, because it eliminates the possible leftovers made during the process and it can be composted when it’s no longer desired.
Another such invention came to life by the hands of Danish product designer Jonas Edward, who created a material called MYX, which is grown from mushroom spores and plant fibers. His idea combines natural plant fibers (agricultural waste) and oyster mycelium. During the production of the material which takes about two weeks, the mycelium spreads through the textile matt (hemp and linen fibers), behaving like a glue between the fibers. The mycelium who continues to collect energy from the plant material, breaks down the cellulose into sugar, in this way producing mushrooms ready to be eaten! (If the material is dried, there will be no “offsprings”). In the end, the creation of this material, from which the designer made a lamp with, produces no waste – something that the creator aimed for and which is also a great achievement in today’s manufacturing.

A rider performs in a maut ka kuan, or a well of death, in Bihar. The act involves motorcyclists and car drivers riding along the vertical wooden walls of the cylinder, while performing an array of dangerous, often life-threatening stunts.
On a hot and sultry evening in May, accompanied by a friend, I visited the Nauchandi fair in Meerut—a month-long annual fair with music programmes, poetry recitations, performance arts, and stalls for food and handicraft.
Held inside a roughly ten-acre ground, the carnival often sees massive crowds. But one particular area was exceptionally thronged, with people lining up in rows to get inside a tall cylindrical structure of colourful wooden planks, precariously held together by aging iron rods. Tickets were being sold from a makeshift loft attached to the structure: Rs 40 for a half-hour show. Two people sat on the loft—one of them handed out tickets in exchange for cash, while the other carried a portable microphone-speaker. “Aao aur dekho maut ka manzar!” (Come and see the scene of death!) he roared into the microphone in a nasal voice. “Jaan ki bazi lagayenge maut ke kuen ke kalakar apke manoranjan ke liye” (The well of death artists will put their lives on the line for your entertainment).
Maut ka kuan, or the well of death, is a popular offering at most carnivals in small-town India. It involves motorcyclists and car drivers riding along the vertical wooden walls of the cylinder, while performing an array of dangerous, often life-threatening stunts. Most performers are motor-mechanics from small cities, who undergo years of training before they can perform stunts with a maut ka kuan troupe. While some see it as a way to make a quick buck, many performers I spoke to said they had gained a lot more from this rather unusual profession.

text: The defining moment of Zimbabwean constitutional reform came in 2008 after the disputed and violence riddled elections of 2008 when the three main political parties entered into a transitional Government of National Unity and were tasked with the establishment of a new constitution which was ultimately adopted in 2013 following a protracted and turbulent process which began in 2009. Some segments of the civil society however argued that the concerned political parties had ‘captured the constitutional project and narrowed it to a short-term struggle motivated by the pursuit of party political interests at the expense of the will of the people and nation’s broad long-term interests’, and thereby subverted and/or negated the aspirations of the people. It is against this background that the study therefore assesses the participation, role and significance of the rural populace in the drafting of the 2013 Zimbabwean Constitution. The study traces the history of constitutional reform efforts in Zimbabwe, beginning with the colonial Lancaster House Constitution of 1979, to the protracted exercise of 2009 to 2013 which gave birth to the current Constitution. It focuses on the 2009-13 constitution making process as a case study. The study employs an interdisciplinary approach by adopting both doctrinal and empirical research approaches. The study employed the doctrinal research approach to provide for a doctrinal analysis of the relevant global, regional and domestic legislation and case law. The empirical research approach, through interviews, was used to collect qualitative data from the general members of the rural populace and key institutions such as political parties and human rights organisations from three selected rural districts, namely Bulilima, Makonde and Mutasa. The study indicated that while a significant number of the rural populace participated in the constitution making process, the legal environment which subsisted during the constitution making process did not allow for the unfettered flow of information and ideas, as a direct result of repressive legislation such as AIPPA, Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act, Interception of Communications Act and POSA, among others similar laws, and as well as the deeply polarised political environment owing to the nature of the relationship between the ZANU PF-led government and the opposition political parties. The study further showed that the process was heavily dominated by the political parties to the Global Political Agreement and all the political parties wanted to ensure the adoption of a constitution that best reflected their preferences and partisan views rather than the will of the masses, making the 2013 Constitution an elitist negotiated document, contrary to the provisions of Article VI of the GPA which provided for the right of Zimbabweans to make a constitution for themselves and by themselves.

Joking aside, I think having large broms suit the frogs better in that they have larger "pools" to utilise.
Ideally get down to the nearest garden centre for advice and you may see some that could be suitable even though small in size that have broad leaves say and deep areas where water collects.
Smaller Neoregelias, such as Fireball and Super Fireball, would suit smaller vivariums.
Look at any of the neoregelia most stay small. Wild tiger, mini skirt, any of the fireball varieties, domino, alley cat, Tunisia are all nice ones I have tried that don’t get very big.

A coalition promoting an initiative to expand Medicaid coverage in Montana — and a big increase in tobacco taxes to help pay for it — has filed a complaint charging its opponents with illegal campaign activities.
The complaint was filed Monday with the state Commissioner of Political Practices by Tara Veazey, initiative campaign manager for Healthy Montana, a coalition of health-care organizations and other groups that is pushing Initiative 185, which would raise the state tax on cigarettes by $2 a pack.
Those activities include the failure to report expenditures made in the campaign against I-185, and the use of automated telephone solicitations, commonly known as “robocalls,” which are illegal in Montana unless a live operator first obtains permission to deliver the recorded message.
The charges are aimed at Montanans Against Tax Hikes, a group based in Helena, Decision Point Consulting, based in Ohio, “and any other now unknown entity or committee” that has financially supported the illegal activities.
Commissioner of Political Practices Jeff Mangan said the complaint was filed Monday, but still has to be examined to determine whether it meets all the requirements to be accepted by his office. He said that decision should be made by Wednesday.
Veasey said in an interview Monday that the complaint won’t have any bearing on I-185, which will appear on the ballot in November if supporters manage to collect verified signatures from at least 25,468 registered voters statewide by June 22.
She said the complaint was filed to force dark-money groups to be publicly revealed, and to let Montanans know who is spending money to influence elections.
“We just want to make sure that’s being disclosed, as early and as often as possible,” she said.
Besides raising state taxes on cigarettes by $2 a pack, I-185 would increase taxes on smokeless tobacco by 33 percent and create new taxes on vaping and electronic-cigarette products.
It also would extend Montana’s expanded Medicaid program, which provides government-funded health care to more than 94,000 low-income Montanans, past 2019.
Denowh, the former director of the Montana Republican Party and president of the Montana Group, a political consulting firm based in Helena, did not return calls seeking comment, but he told Yellowstone Public Radio he was still reviewing the complaint and had no comment.
According to the complaint, “several individuals” reported receiving robocalls on or around May 1, offering them $100 to take part in a focus group. Veazey says in the complaint that when she called the number provided, her call was answered by a voicemail service for Decision Point Consulting.
“Clearly,” the complaint says, “the hiring of an out of state company to produce a robocall is an expenditure,” as is creating and conducting a focus group meeting. But Decision Point Consulting has not filed a C-2, a spending disclosure statement with the state.
“If MATH paid for this poll to be conducted, it should have been reported in the C-6 disclosure report that was due on May 21. … MATH filed a form C-6 on June 1, but this report failed to include any of the above-described expenditures,” the complaint said.
That C-6 report, in fact, lists only two things: donations totaling $325 and debts of $1,700.
“The failure of opponents to I-185 to file any of the required financial reports or disclose any information about their income sources or expenditures represents a clear disregard for Montana’s reporting requirements and warrants full and immediate investigation,” the complaint says.

The 2018 Berlin anti-semitic attack was an attack on a street in the German capital of Berlin. Two young men wearing Jewish skullcaps were insulted by Arabic-speaking passers-by. One of the two, an Israeli citizen, was beaten with a belt by a Palestinian attacker. Video footage led to public outrage.
There have been other similar incidents involving Muslim assailants in particular. A spokesman for the Jewish community said the attack showed that "Jewish people are not safe here".
The number of overall anti-Semitic offenses in Berlin has been rising in recent years. In 2017, police had registered 288 anti-Semitic acts; in 2016, 197 anti-Semitic cases had been recorded. The Research and Information Center Antisemitism Berlin (RIAS) counts a total of 947 anti-Semitic incidents for 2017, but there may be unrecorded cases.
On 17 April 2018, Adam Armoush, a 21-year-old Israeli Arab living in Berlin and his German friend of Moroccan origin went through a street in Prenzlauer Berg taking selfies while wearing kippahs. According to Armoush, he was trying to win an argument with Jewish friends of his in Israel by proving that he could walk through Berlin wearing a Jewish skullcap. At one point, an argument with three Arab-speaking young men started, which was followed by a violent attack. Armoush managed to document the violence with his cell phone and later allowed the video to be shared on Facebook, from where the video went viral. The video shows the main attacker, later identified as a 19-year-old Palestinian from a refugee camp in Syria who had come to Germany as a war refugee, beat Armoush repeatedly with his belt. During the onslaught, the attacker shouted the word "Yahudi", the Arabic word for Jew, before one his companions intervened and dragged him away. According to Armoush, the main attacker had also tried to hurt him with a glass bottle. As a consequence of the beating, Armoush suffered minor injuries. Before turning himself in to police, the main attacker contacted a representative of the Palestinian student community of Berlin and appeared in a short video that was distributed on social media. They denied he was hostile towards Jews or that his actions had been motivated by anti-Semitism.
The main attacker turned himself in accompanied by his lawyer the day after the incident. An arrest warrant against him was executed.
Several politicians, among them chancellor Angela Merkel and foreign minister Heiko Maas condemned the attack. On the Israeli television, Merkel warned of persistent hatred of Jews in Germany. She spoke of a "different form of anti-Semitism" coming from people of Arab descent. After this and other incidents, the President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, warned Jewish men "not to show themselves openly with a kippah in the metropolitan milieu in Germany".
Under the slogan "Berlin Wears Kippah" the Jewish community in Berlin called all citizens to wear the kippah on 25 April in solidarity with the victims.

There was plenty of grumbling about the Advance Report on Durable Goods for January 2010 that was released today. The headline number showed new orders up 3% but ex-transportation, new orders were actually down 0.6%.
If you're overweight tech, like I am, though, you would be smiling happily.
I'll run through a few charts and you'll see why. Let's start by looking at shipments for the tech sector as a whole and than for the sub-sectors of computers, semiconductors and communications equipment.
With the great improvement in shipments, it's disappointing to see Tech lagging other sectors like Materials and Consumer Discretionary. Some would argue, however, that shipments are in the past, and stocks move based on future performance.
If that's truly the case, Tech might still be the place to be. Take a look at these charts showing new orders.
You can see that new orders are quite strong, again reaching levels last seen in 2008. Though communication equipment is lagging the other sub-sectors, it too shows increasing orders.
I have written several posts (here, here and here) on how the tech earnings scorecard this earnings season has been pretty darn strong. I have contended that tech stocks should be getting more investor interest. Today's Durable Goods report may, I think, begin to convert the unbelievers. I noticed that the NASAQ finished Thursday in better shape than the S&P 500 and the Dow. Are we seeing the beginning of an upsurge in tech?

My (Prospective) Tenant is on Life Support!
I ran into a friend of mine recently who helps manage a very large portfolio of rental properties. She always has the funniest stories to tell, and I just had to pass this one on.
They had an ad running for a rental property in a nice area of town. It was a typical 3 bedroom bread and butter house and there had been a lot of interest on this particular property. She said that until just before closing, she had the usual run of the mill tenant applications.
Then at the very last minute before closing, a lady ran into the office waving cash and said she had to put in her application today. She told the property manager that she was going to have to move quickly as she currently lived in a two story house with the bedrooms on the second floor. The applicant said this house was in the right location, and she reiterated that needed at least one first floor bedroom. She said this house would be perfect!
The prospective tenant began filling out the application and when it was complete my, friend looked over everything noting that the income given was for her and her husband. Wanting to get as much information as possible, she asked her why she needed to move so quickly. This nice lady said that, “Her husband would be off life support any day now, and when he came home from the hospital he was going to need a first floor bedroom that would accommodate his hospital bed he would need for his long recovery”.
After my friend recovered from the shock of hearing he was currently in ICU on life support, she gently asked the applicant what she would do if by some chance he didn’t recover. The tenant said she was sure he was going to recover but it might take some time. She just needed a house with a first floor bedroom. My friend pointed out that she didn’t have sufficient income by herself to rent the property.
So how did they leave it?
My friend the property manager told her to see if she could find a co-signer and get back with her. She never heard back from the lady so we really don’t know what happened.
Wow, that’s a sad situation. But it makes sense that you need to rent to someone who can pay. I suspect she probably found another home to rent – hopefully it works out for her and her husband (and the landlord).
I hope so too Mike. At the end of the day, you have to have a tenant that can pay the rent so that you can pay for the house. It would be much worse to let them move in (knowing that they couldn’t pay) and then have to evict them. No one wants to do that.

Our client was struggling to maintain and grow its business due to a reliance on a core repertoire management system that was recognised as being no longer fit for purpose. Our client had reached a pivotal point in its development, but its global ambitions and passion to be the best in its field were being hampered by outdated software and manual business processes.
There had been several attempts to develop a new repertoire management system that would allow the company to expand. A lot of time and effort had been spent, but with little to show in terms of tangible results and change. There was a growing frustration about the lack of progress and the resulting impact this had on the client’s business.
We started working with this client as they were about to kick-off the first phase in the development of a new repertoire management system. It became clear that for the project to succeed there needed to be a stated consensus amongst management and stakeholders of why the development was being undertaken and what they were trying to achieve in business terms. This necessitated some core thinking and discussion about where the client was looking to go as a business and the customers it was seeking to attract. These decisions had to be made alongside maintaining the momentum of the project, and delivering tangible outcomes for stakeholders who had seen previous projects halted.
Development of a roadmap that clarified the new repertoire system in the context of the business strategy and systems architecture; this was agreed by management and stakeholders and used to guide decision making going forward.
Working with management and stakeholders to ensure that the rationale for the new repertoire system was understood and agreed.
Helped the client to state the key success criteria against which the repertoire management project would be assessed; this allowed decisions to be made, and the project to move forward.
Working with stakeholders to confirm the priorities and phasing of the repertoire management project, such that benefits could be delivered as early as possible, whilst maintaining alignment with the agreed roadmap.
Established ways of working with the client and a 3rd party software house to kick off the first phase of development of the new system and set in place the approach for future phases.
Handover to client’s internal project manager for the continuation of the project.
First phase of the new repertoire management system delivered and ready for testing.
Established a framework in which future projects could be defined and prioritised in the context of an agreed roadmap.
Facilitated an effective dialogue between IT and business stakeholders, setting in place a model for future projects.

text: A startling novel powerfully displaying dynamics of sin and redemption, working across time. Something odd is happening to John Faversham, a scientifically minded Englishman of the late 20th century. By chance, he acquires a volume of poems by a minor 19th century poet, who turns out to have lived in his house. Moreover, one of the poems records a vivid dream which has recently been troubling John. How does be come to share a disturbing dream with a long-dead previous owner of his house? As Anthony Duncan's novel unfolds, we discover the roots of the story in the events of the English Reformation, in the 16th century. This sometimes startling tale powerfully displays dynamics of sin and redemption, working across time. But the author avoids any easy moralism. The novel is all the more powerful in its compelling depiction of life's knotted fabric, in which good and evil cannot be easily untangled.

HP, which is the abbreviation of Hewlett-Packard, is one of the world’s major IT companies. It is headquartered at Palo Alto, California. HP is widely known for a variety of products encompassing both hardware and software.
HP, as a company has a rich history in computer technology. Although the company as born in 1939, it wasn’t until much later in the 60s that the company actually started to delve into manufacturing minicomputers. Laptops came a lot later and the first was the HP-110 in 1984. More products followed in this lineup after this.
HP, at present, offers two major laptop series. These are the Pavilion and Envy series notebooks. The Pavilion lineup was introduced in 2004, with the Envy lineup coming almost 5 years later.
When it comes to India, HP does have a huge presence in the country. The company easily ranks within the top five PC brands that are available in India. There is a huge network of retail stores and even company showrooms where products are available. Even popular ecommerce platforms offer discounts and offers for HP laptops.
Most students and professionals prefer HP, mainly because of its reputation as a brand and also the quality of products offered. Many of the laptops models are also reasonably priced, which means that they are largely affordable to many buyers.
HP offers some of the best laptops models and their design really stands out among the crowd. The Envy series laptops are more elegant than the Pavilion series. This is also because they are a tad bit expensive.
Most of the construction is polycarbonate or metal alloys. This ensures that devices are light in weight, but also strong enough to stand permissible shocks. You can expect the weight to up to 3 kilograms at most. Ultrabooks tend to be a lot lighter though.
HP’s laptops have screen sizes from 11 to 17 inches. The technology used in screen construction is IPS LED. They are also mostly HD/FHD in terms of resolution, thus offering clear viewing and graphics. Many of the devices also offer touchscreen functionality.
The keypad is a full sized one and offers a good typing experience. For devices that are priced highly, the keyboard is often a backlit one and makes typing easier. Besides, a touchpad that offers gesture based controls is also very good to have. Many of the laptops can also be operated in various modes, i.e. hybrid models.
HP’s laptops come in various different color options, although black, red, white and silver are the more commonly seen models.
Laptops from the house of HP are known to offer many different features. To start with, HP models come with both AMD and Intel processors. The Intel range largely consists of Core i3/i5/i7 at present times, along with Celeron and Pentium Dual Core ones. AMD processors of the FX series are the other option. Most models have inbuilt GPU or rely on discrete units from Nvidia or AMD Radeon.
For memory, the laptops are equipped with 2 to 8GB of RAM. Storage capacities are also pretty high and range between 500GB and 1.5TB.
A host of other options can be found in these laptops. Most of the devices are provided with Bang and Olufsen or Dolby audio. A HD web camera can also be found on all of the devices.
All laptops have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. Along with these, you can get USB ports, HDMI port, Ethernet port and a 3.5mm universal headphone jack. The models also come with DVD writers.
The battery backup from HP laptops is largely favorable.
HP has recently launched the EliteBook 1020 G1. The device is pretty familiar to the MacBook and also made of aluminum and magnesium alloys.
