Now that's something I never really paid a great deal of attention to, but I've seen both designations on different forms. So in which cases is it deliberate, and in which is it a lack of clarity or understanding?

That's jiust it - he doesn't say it's bad... he says homosexuality is not a sin.

How nice of His Holiness to throw gays and lesbians a bone. But, he goes on to claim that homosexual acts are a sin. Why? Because one assumes that such acts occur out of wedlock? Well, golly gee, if those gay sinners were married, then said acts wouldn't be sinful at all! Oh wait... same sex marriage baaaaaaaaad. Oh well, painted into another corner. And judging by all the superlatives in your post, you sure seem to support the position.

Yet you label a call for understanding and tolerance "baloney" — all the while demanding retractions and dissociations from those who label you what such remarks only prove you to be — anti-gay!

No kidding. I thought this new pope would be a step backwards from the last one who gave the only good pope a heart attack but this is ridiculous. He is the dark ages. The bright side is that he will speed yet another organized religion into irrelevancy.

My question would be why isn't it irrelevant already? People actually listen to this guy? Creepy.

Unless one is Catholic, the Pope can babble all he likes and it amounts to nothing more than a Page 2 story. I suspect that you post the link to support your view that gay is bad ~ any Pope in a storm.

Stop and consider ~ a group of people don't hem and haw in the back ground of their social construct and arbitrarily assign prejudices to one another. They come to conclusions on an individual's bigotry or tolerance based on that individual's behavior over a period of time.

OK, rather than beat around your bush, the majority believe you to be homophobic because you've come off that way for a very long time. It's not as though there's been some kind of conspiracy to label you so. poly is an avowed and often rabid atheist, matt is a devoted, often delusional conservative and your are homophobic.

That you deny it so strenuously is especially laughable in light on the original subject of this post and your support of the Pope's views on the issue. Please note my civility. I do not want the Moderators involved in my response to you again.

Mummer's Day Parade is on life support this year. Philly has cut back its subsidy (because the city is on the verge of bankruptcy . . . so what else is new) and the parade is going to be like a dog this year (cur-tailed).

Pope Benedict scored a double hit with just one shot in his end of year address at the Vatican when he blew wide open the fallacy of 'gender theory' whilst demolishing the US led 'tolerance' baloney that supports it. The only thing he didn't do is nail the intolerant backlash that will inevitably follow.

km

What do you mean "debunks". He doesn't do that at all. What he does is give his opinion based on his religious thinking. While I might tend to agree with some of what he says, he certainly is not an authority that I give a single credence to. Just a guy selected by a bunch of people to be the head of their group. Not my group so what he says is nothing to me.

To say he "debunks" something is to say he disproves something and he just is giving his opinion. Again, not important to me at all

Lesson: Understanding and Tolerance

Introduction:
Understanding and tolerance are two essential values that we should practice in our daily lives. They help us to live in harmony with others and create a positive environment around us. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of understanding and tolerance, and how they can help us to build strong relationships with others.

Section 1: Importance of Understanding and Tolerance

Topic 1: Understanding
Understanding is the process of comprehending or grasping the nature or meaning of something. It involves listening to others and trying to see things from their perspective. By understanding others, we can avoid conflicts and misunderstandings. For example, if you are in a relationship with someone, it is essential to understand their feelings, needs, and expectations. This will help you to communicate effectively and resolve any issues that may arise.

Topic 2: Tolerance
Tolerance is the ability to accept and respect the differences between people. It involves being open-minded and non-judgmental towards others. By practicing tolerance, we can create a safe and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected. For example, if you work in a diverse team, it is crucial to be tolerant of different cultures, beliefs, and values. This will help you to collaborate effectively and achieve common goals.

Section 2: Practicing Understanding and Tolerance

Topic 1: Listen actively
Listening actively involves paying attention to what others are saying and showing that you value their opinions. It also means asking questions and seeking clarification when needed. By actively listening to others, you can gain a deeper understanding of their perspectives and needs.

It can create barriers between people and prevent them from building strong relationships. By avoiding judgment, you can create a safe space for others to share their thoughts and feelings.

Section 3: Applying Understanding and Tolerance in Real Life

Topic 1: Relationships
In relationships, understanding and tolerance are essential for building trust and intimacy. By listening to your partner's needs and perspectives, you can avoid misunderstandings and conflicts.

Birch plywood is known for its strength and durability. It is made up of multiple layers of wood veneer that are glued together with the grain running in opposite directions. This makes it more resistant to bending, warping, and cracking compared to solid wood.

Topic 2: Resistance to Moisture
Birch plywood is also resistant to moisture, making it an ideal choice for projects that will be exposed to water or humidity. The laminated surface of the plywood prevents water from penetrating the wood, ensuring that it remains strong and stable even when exposed to damp conditions.

Topic 3: Versatility
Birch plywood is a versatile material that can be used for a variety of projects. Its strength and durability make it suitable for use in furniture, cabinetry, and construction projects. Its resistance to moisture makes it ideal for use in bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas where humidity is a concern.

Example 1: Furniture
Birch plywood is often used to make furniture such as cabinets, shelves, and tables. Its strength and durability make it able to support heavy loads, while its resistance to moisture ensures that it will not warp or crack over time.

Example 2: Construction
In construction, birch plywood is often used as a substrate for walls, floors, and ceilings. Its strength and durability make it able to withstand the weight of heavy materials, while its resistance to moisture ensures that it will not degrade over time.

Example 3: DIY Projects
Birch plywood is also popular among DIY enthusiasts for projects such as cutting boards, picture frames, and jewelry organizers. Its versatility and ease of use make it a great choice for beginners and experienced crafters alike.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussion

Question: Why is birch plywood a good choice for projects that will be exposed to water or humidity?
Answer: Birch plywood is a good choice for projects that will be exposed to water or humidity because its laminated surface prevents water from penetrating the wood, ensuring that it remains strong and stable even when exposed to damp conditions.

I ran in the 2010 Inaugural Rock 'n' Roll Los Angeles Half Marathon, and it was a point to point course, requiring all participants to either board shuttles to the start or be dropped off near the start and then finishing downtown.. This certainly puts a spin on the event for those who ran it in 2010.. Currently, a new course map has yet to be posted on the official event website.. Those interested in the event may want to stay tuned.. For more info. on the Rock 'n' Roll Los Angeles Half Marathon, click here.. Happy running!!!. THANK GAWD!!!!

Lesson: How to Read and Understand Course Maps for Half Marathons

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to read and understand course maps for half marathons. We will cover the following topics:

1. Understanding the basics of course maps
2. Reading and interpreting elevation changes
3. Identifying key landmarks and turn points
4. Analyzing course profiles and difficulty levels
5. Using course maps to prepare for race day

Section 1: Understanding the Basics of Course Maps

A course map is a visual representation of the route that runners will follow during a half marathon. It shows the starting line, turn points, and the finish line. Course maps are typically available online or at the race expo.

Course maps can be used to familiarize yourself with the terrain, identify potential obstacles, and plan your race strategy.

Section 2: Reading and Interpreting Elevation Changes

Elevation changes refer to the ups and downs of the course. They can affect your pace and overall race time. Course maps usually indicate elevation changes by color-coding or shading.

Green: Indicates a downhill slope
Red: Indicates an uphill slope
Blue: Indicates a flat section of the course

Section 3: Identifying Key Landmarks and Turn Points

Landmarks are recognizable features that help you navigate the course. Turn points are marked locations where you need to make a turn. These can include intersections, street corners, or landmarks.

Look for key landmarks and turn points on the course map before the race. This will help you stay on track during the race.

Section 4: Analyzing Course Profiles and Difficulty Levels

Course profiles show the elevation changes throughout the course. A flat course map indicates that the terrain is relatively flat, while a hilly course map indicates that there are many elevation changes.

The difficulty level of a course can affect your race time and pacing strategy. Use the course profile to estimate your finish time and adjust your pace accordingly.

Section 5: Using Course Maps to Prepare for Race Day

Use the course map to familiarize yourself with the terrain and key landmarks. This will help you stay on track during the race and avoid any surprises.

During the race, look for key landmarks and turn points to ensure that you are following the correct course. Pay attention to elevation changes and adjust your pace accordingly.

Conclusion:

By understanding the basics of course maps, reading and interpreting elevation changes, identifying key landmarks and turn points, analyzing course profiles and difficulty levels, and using course maps to prepare for race day, you can improve your performance and enjoyment of half marathons.

Lesson: Introduction to Chess960

## Section 1: What is Chess960?
Chess960, also known as Fischer Random Chess, is a variation of the traditional game of chess. It was invented by World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer in 1996. The objective of the game is the same as traditional chess - to checkmate the opponent's king. However, the starting positions of the pieces on the board are randomized, making each game unique.

## Section 2: How to Play Chess960
To play Chess960, you will need a chessboard with 8x8 squares, a set of chess pieces, and an opponent. The starting position of the pieces is determined by randomizing the positions of the back row pieces. The remaining pieces are placed randomly on the board.

Q:

Populate SQL database from textfile on a background thread constantly

Currently, I would like provide this as an option to the user when storing data to the database.
Save the data to a file and use a background thread to read data from the textfile to SQL server.
Flow of my program:
- A stream of data coming from a server constantly (100 per second).
- want to store the data in a textfile and use background thread to copy data from the textfile back to the SQL database constantly as another user option.
Has this been done before?
Cheers.

A:

Your question is indeed a bit confusing.
I'm guessing you mean that:

100 rows per second come from a certain source or server (eg. log entries)
One option for the user is textfile caching: the rows are stored in a textfile and periodically an incremental copy of the contents of the textfile into (an) SQL Server table(s) is performed.
Another option for the user is direct insert: the data is stored directly in the database as it comes in, with no textfile in between.

Am I right?
If yes, then you should do something in the lines of:

Create a trigger on an INSERT action to the table
In that trigger, check which user is inserting. If the user has textfile caching disabled, then the insert can go on. Otherwise, the data is redirected to a textfile (or a caching table)
Create a stored procedure that checks the caching table or text file for new data, copies the new data into the real table, and deletes the cached data.
Create an SQL Server Agent job that runs above stored procedure every minute, hour, day...

Since the interface from T-SQL to textfiles is not very flexible, I would recommend using a caching table instead. Why a textfile?
And for that matter, why cache the data before inserting it into the table? Perhaps we can suggest a better solution, if you explain the context of your question.

textbook:
Yes, that's correct. You can create a trigger on an INSERT action to the table and check which user is inserting. If the user has chosen the textfile caching option, then insert the data into a textfile instead of the database. If the user has chosen the direct insert option, then insert the data directly into the database.
To populate the SQL database from a textfile on a background thread constantly, you can use a Windows Service or a scheduled task to read the data from the textfile and insert it into the database. You can use a background thread to read the data from the textfile and insert it into the database.
Here's an example code snippet in C# to read the data from a textfile and insert it into a SQL Server database:
```csharp
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
namespace TextFileToSQL
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Connection string to your SQL Server database
            string connectionString = "Data Source=yourServerName;Initial Catalog=yourDatabaseName;Integrated Security=True";
            // Path to your textfile
            string textfilePath = "C:\path\to\yourTextfile.txt";
            // Read the textfile line by line
            while (true)
            {
                // Open the textfile
                StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(textfilePath);
                // Read the next line from the textfile
                string line = reader.ReadLine();
                // Close the textfile
                reader.Close();
                // Insert the line into your SQL Server database
                using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
                {
                    SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO yourTableName (columnName) VALUES (@value)", connection);
                    command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@value", line);
                    connection.Open();
                    command.ExecuteNonQuery();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
```
This code reads the next line from the textfile, inserts it into the specified column of your SQL Server database, and moves to the next line. You can run this code as a Windows Service or a scheduled task to read the data from the textfile and insert it into the database constantly.
I hope this helps!

Group B streptococcal infection in the perinatal period. An increasing problem in newborn care.
Group B streptococcal infections in newborn infants are increasing in frequency. Infection takes two forms--early-onset, developing in the first 24 hours, and late-onset, developing after the first week. Early-onset disease, a fulminating septicaemia, has a mortality of 40-70%. Late-onset disease, usually meningitis, has a mortality of 20-30%, with a high incidence of neurological damage in survivors. Early-onset disease is acquired during delivery from organisms colonizing the vagina. Up to 25% of women are colonized in late pregnancy. So far, no effective programmes for prevention have been developed.

Lesson: Understanding Group B Streptococcal Infections in Newborns

Introduction:
Group B streptococcal (GBS) infections in newborns are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This lesson will provide an overview of GBS infections, including their causes, symptoms, and prevention methods.

Section 1: What are Group B Streptococcal Infections?
GBS infections are caused by bacteria called Group B streptococci. These bacteria can live in the lower intestine, genital area, or urinary tract of adults, but they can also be passed to newborns during childbirth.

Section 2: Symptoms of Group B Streptococcal Infections
GBS infections in newborns can occur in two forms: early-onset and late-onset. Early-onset disease is a rapid and severe infection that develops within the first 24 hours of life. Symptoms include fever, irritability, and difficulty breathing. Late-onset disease is typically meningitis, which occurs after the first week of life. Symptoms may include fever, vomiting, lethargy, and seizures.

Section 3: Prevention of Group B Streptococcal Infections
Preventing GBS infections in newborns is challenging, as many healthy adults carry the bacteria without knowing it. However, there are some steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of transmission:

1. Screening: Pregnant women can be screened for GBS during the third trimester of pregnancy. If the test is positive, antibiotics can be administered during labor to reduce the risk of transmission to the baby.

2. Hygiene: Proper handwashing and sanitation practices can help prevent the spread of GBS.

3. Vaccination: Although there is currently no vaccine available for GBS, researchers are working on developing one.

Section 4: Conclusion
GBS infections in newborns are a serious concern for parents and healthcare providers alike. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and prevention methods of these infections can help reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality. By following the guidelines outlined in this lesson, we can work towards a healthier future for our newborns.

Lesson: How to Choose the Right Hearing Assistance Device
Introduction:
Hearing loss is a common problem that affects millions of people worldwide. It can be caused by various factors such as age, noise exposure, genetics, and illness. In this lesson, we will learn about different types of hearing assistance devices and how to choose the right one for your needs.
Section 1: Understanding Hearing Loss
- Hearing loss occurs when there is damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve, which affects the ability to process sound.
- There are three types of hearing loss: conductive, sensorineural, and mixed.
- Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound cannot travel through the outer or middle ear.
- Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when there is damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve.
- Mixed hearing loss occurs when there is a combination of both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.
Section 2: Types of Hearing Assistance Devices
- Hearing aids are the most common type of hearing assistance device. They are designed to amplify sound and improve speech recognition.
- Cochlear implants are electronic devices that are surgically implanted in the ear. They convert sound into electrical signals that are sent directly to the brain.
- Personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) are devices that amplify sound without the need for a prescription. They are often used by people with mild to moderate hearing loss.
Section 3: How to Choose the Right Hearing Assistance Device
- The first step in choosing the right hearing assistance device is to consult with a hearing healthcare professional. They will assess your hearing loss and recommend the best device for your needs.
- Consider the severity of your hearing loss, your lifestyle, and your budget when choosing a hearing assistance device.
- Hearing aids come in different styles, including behind-the-ear, in-the-ear, and completely-in-canal. The style you choose will depend on your preferences and the severity of your hearing loss.
- Cochlear implants are typically recommended for people with severe to profound hearing loss who have limited benefit from hearing aids.
- PSAPs are a cost-effective option for people with mild to moderate hearing loss who do not require a prescription.
Conclusion:
Choosing the right hearing assistance device is an important decision that will impact your quality of life. By consulting with a hearing healthcare professional and considering your lifestyle and budget, you can find the device that is best suited for your needs. Remember, the goal is to improve speech recognition and overall communication, so choose a device that will help you achieve that goal.
