After the dramatic and often devastating flood of last winter, communities are slowly returning to normal but what about the riverbanks? Here in Rossendale, Lancashire we suffered badly with the River Irwell, only 4 miles from its source, decorating trees and shrubs with dead vegetation and that scourge of our waterways – polythene. Our feeling was that we really needed to cut off at least some of the branches and try and remove the detritus from the rest. We tried extended length loppers but the weight was a problem as we tended to be reaching out horizontally, rather than vertically. With a bit of online research we found the Wolf Garten Multi Change range of equipment. We bought a 4m extending handle, a pruning saw, branch hook and mini cultivator for less than £100 and took the whole lot on trial for a couple of hours in the rain! Enormously successful but it's a long process that is best undertaken when there's minimal wind to blow away the plastic bag you so carefully retrieved! Whilst we're investigating this however, a local couple and their 10 year old daughter spent Easter clearing another stretch of the river and collected 27 bags of rubbish! The pictures tell their own story. This entry was posted on Friday, April 22nd, 2016 at 12:03 pm and is filed under all posts. You can follow any comments to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed.

We wouldn't have to invest so much time in clearance if people didn't pollute so much.

You are here: Home / Morality / Being Vegan: Dietary Choice Vs. Moral Stance Being Vegan: Dietary Choice Vs. Moral Stance Perhaps the most incorrect assumption about veganism is that it's a diet. Being vegan is not a diet. It is a moral choice to abstain from causing unnecessary exploitation and suffering to animals. The word 'vegan' is used as a blanket term to describe a person that doesn't eat animal products. While it's true that a vegan doesn't eat animal flesh or animal secretions, a vegan identifies as such because of their moral stance, not because of their diet. The diet itself, without the moral stance attached to it, would simply be considered a plant-based diet. Let's explore this a bit further starting with children as an example, as this illustrates the point. Understanding Veganism Nowadays there are many kids who do not eat animal products and are described as being vegan. However, one could argue that children under the age of three years old would not personally be able to identify as vegan because they do not have the capacity to understand the moral implications of being vegan. More accurately, they are children who eat a plant-based diet on the basis that their parents are vegan, and they are therefore born into a vegan family. It wasn't until my daughter was around four years old that she started to ask questions, as she became aware that other people ate animals and couldn't understand why. At around 4 or 5 years old a child is able to develop an opinion as to whether unnecessarily slaughtering an animal for food is morally justified. To be vegan, one must have the moral agency to determine whether a slaughterhouse is ethical. Vegan for Health Because of the scientifically proven benefits of eating a plant-based diet that eschews animal products and minimizes processed foods, people often associate veganism with good health. However, this is a misguided assumption. A vegan can be unhealthy; after all, chips and cola are vegan because they don't contain animal products. There are vegans who live on a diet of junk food and seemingly don't care so much for their health; their primary concern is to avoid causing harm to animals. In conversations on veganism, I often note that I am a vegan who chooses to eat a healthy diet. I've always been conscious of eating healthily, even when I ate meat. And it's wonderful that the scientific literature increasingly shows that replacing meat with plant-based alternatives is a healthier option. But the fact is, the moral stance exists without the dietary side of it. Veganism is not a diet, it's a moral choice. That being said, would someone really choose to compromise their health to be vegan, if indeed it wasn't possible to thrive on a plant-based diet? This is a case-in-point, because many vegans would make the argument that the fact that you can live a healthy, long life without eating animal products and causing unnecessary pain and suffering, means that you have a moral obligation to do so. Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose – The Vegan Society Despite how it is often referenced, 'vegan' isn't a diet. People identify as vegan because they want to avoid harming and killing animals. It's about being non-violent. Whether you choose to eat really healthily or live on junk food is a secondary decision. However, because the word 'vegan' is synonymous with not eating animal foods, it is referred to as a diet, to the point where people who occasionally drink milk or eat cheese, or even eat fish, might refer to themselves as 'vegan' – because the majority of time they eat a plant-based diet. Veganism is a moral stance against a system that treats animals as commodities on a production line, rather than sentient beings that feel parallel levels of pain, anxiety and fear as humans, and in many cases have complex social interactions with their young and group/herd. So if you know someone who is vegan, understand that their decision isn't just based on food preference, and that they aren't just being "fussy about food". Their decision is based upon their belief that unnecessary violence is unacceptable. Useful monthly tips for plant-based living to your inbox.

Following questions and answers are all new published by Microsoft Official Exam Center: http://www.lead2pass.com/70-761.html You have a table named HR.Employees as shown in the exhibit. (Click the exhibit button.) You need to write a query that will change the value of the job title column to Customer Representative for any employee who lives in Seattle and has a job title of Sales Representative. If the employee does not have a manager defined, you must not change the title. Which three Transact-SQL segments should you use to develop the solution? To answer, move the appropriate Transact-SQL segments from the list of Transact-SQL segments to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177523.aspx You have the following Transact-SQL query: What type of functions are used in the query? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Box 1: Scalar The return value of a function can either be a scalar (single) value or a table. Box 2: Table-Valued The APPLY operator allows you to invoke a table-valued function for each row returned by an outer table expression of a query. The table-valued function acts as the right input and the outer table expression acts as the left input. The right input is evaluated for each row from the left input and the rows produced are combined for the final output. The list of columns produced by the APPLY operator is the set of columns in the left input followed by the list of columns returned by the right input. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175156(v=sql.105).aspx You have a database that includes the following tables: You need to create a list of all customer IDs and the date of the last order that each customer placed. If the customer has not placed any orders, you must return the date January 1, 1900. The column names must be CustomerID and LastOrderDate. Which four Transact-SQL segments should you use to develop the solution? To answer, move the appropriate Transact-SQL segments from the list of Transact-SQL segments to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order. Box 1: SELECT..COALESCE… The COALESCE function evaluates the arguments in order and returns the current value of the first expression that initially does not evaluate to NULL. Box 2: ..LEFT OUTER JOIN.. The LEFT JOIN (LEFT OUTER JOIN) keyword returns all rows from the left table (table1), with the matching rows in the right table (table2). The result is NULL in the right side when there is no match. A customer might have no orders so the right table must be allowed have a NULL value. Box 3: ON c.custid = o.custid We JOIN on the custID column, which is available in both tables. Box 4: GROUP BY c.custid http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_join_left.asp You run the following Transact-SQL statement: You need to ensure that you can insert data into the table. What are the characteristics of the data? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. Box 1: custid IDENTITY indicates that the new column is an identity column. When a new row is added to the table, the Database Engine provides a unique, incremental value for the column. Identity columns are typically used with PRIMARY KEY constraints to serve as the unique row identifier for the table. Box 2: postalcode postalcode is declared as NOT NULL, which means that a value must be inserted. Box 3: region Fax is also a correct answer. Both these two columns are declared as NULL, which means that data entry is optional. References: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174979.aspx You create a table named Sales.Orders by running the following Transact-SQL statement: You need to write a query that meets the following requirements: – removes orders from the table that were placed before January 1, 2012 – uses the date format of YYYYMMDD – ensures that the order has been shipped before deleting the record Construct the query using the following guidelines: – use one-part column names and two-part table names – do not use functions – do not surround object names with square brackets – do not use variables – do not use aliases for column names and table names Part of the correct Transact-SQL has been provided in the answer area below. Enter the code in the answer area that resolves the problem and meets the stated goals or requirements. You can add code within the code that has been provided as well as below it. Use the Check Syntax button to verify your work. Any syntax or spelling errors will be reported by line and character position. Answer: Pending You have a database that contains the following tables. You need to create a query that lists the lowest-performing salespersons based on the current year-to-date sales period. The query must meet the following requirements: – Return a column named Fullname that includes the salesperson FirstName, a space, and then LastName. – Include the current year-to-date sales for each salesperson. – Display only data for the three salespersons with the lowest year-to-year sales values. – Exclude salespersons that have no value for TerritoryID. – Use the first letter of a table name as the table alias. – Use two-part column names. – Do not surround object names with square brackets. – Do not use implicit joins. – Use only single quotes for literal text. – Use aliases only if required. You need to create a query that lists all complaints from the Complaints table, and the name of the person handling the complaints if a person is assigned. The ComplaintID must be displayed first, followed by the person name. – Use one-part table names. – Do not use aliases for column names or table names. – Do not use Transact-SQL functions. Part of the correct Transact-SQL has been provided in the answer area below. Enter the code in the answer area that resolves the problem and meets the stated goals or requirements. You can add code within the code that has been provided as well as below it. You have a database that includes the tables shown in the exhibit. (Click the exhibit button.) You need to create a list of all customers, the order ID for the last order that the customer placed, and the date that the order was placed. For customers who have not placed orders, you must substitute a zero for the order ID and O 1/01/1990 for the date. Which Transact-SQL statement should you run? A. Option A B. Option B C. Option C D. Option D ISNULL Syntax: ISNULL ( check_expression , replacement_value ) author:"Luxemburg, Rosa" The ISNULL function replaces NULL with the specified replacement value. The value of check_expression is returned if it is not NULL; otherwise, replacement_value is returned after it is implicitly converted to the type of check_expression. You have a database that contains the following tables: Customer Audit Where the value of the CustomerID column equals 3, you need to update the value of the CreditLimit column to 1000 for the customer. You must ensure that the change to the record in the Customer table is recorded on the CustomerAudit table. The OUTPUT Clause returns information from, or expressions based on, each row affected by an INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or MERGE statement. These results can be returned to the processing application for use in such things as confirmation messages, archiving, and other such application requirements. The results can also be inserted into a table or table variable. Additionally, you can capture the results of an OUTPUT clause in a nested INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or MERGE statement, and insert those results into a target table or view. Note: If the column modified by the .RITE clause is referenced in an OUTPUT clause, the complete value of the column, either the before image in deleted.column_name or the after image in inserted.column_name, is returned to the specified column in the table variable. Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same scenario. For your convenience, the scenario is repeated in each question. Each question presents a different goal and answer choices, but the text of the scenario is exactly the same in each question on this series. You have a database that tracks orders and deliveries for customers in North America. System versioning is enabled for all tables. The database contains the Sales.Customers, Application. Cities, and Sales. CustomerCategories tables. Details for the Sales.Customers table are shown in the following table: Details for the Application.Cities table are shown in the following table: Details for the Sales.CustomerCategories table are shown in the following table: You are creating a report to show when the first customer account was opened in each city. The report contains a line chart with the following characteristics: – The chart contains a data point for each city, with lines connecting the points. – The X axis contains the position that the city occupies relative to other cities. – The Y axis contains the date that the first account in any city was opened. An example chart is shown below for five cities: During a sales promotion, customers from various cities open new accounts on the same date. You need to write a query that returns the data for the chart. How should you complete the Transact-SQL statement? To answer, drag the appropriate Transact-SQL segments to the correct locations. Each Transact-SQL segment may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. Box 1: RANK() OVER RANK returns the rank of each row within the partition of a result set. The rank of a row is one plus the number of ranks that come before the row in question. ROW_NUMBER and RANK are similar. ROW_NUMBER numbers all rows sequentially (for example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). You have a database that tracks orders and deliveries for customers in North America. System versioning is enabled for all tables. The database contains the Sales.Customers, Application.Cities, and Sales.CustomerCategories tables. You need to create a query that meets the following requirements: – For customers that are not on a credit hold, return the CustomerID and the latest recorded population for the delivery city that is associated with the customer. – For customers that are on a credit hold, return the CustomerID and the latest recorded population for the postal city that is associated with the customer. Which two Transact-SQL queries will achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Using Cross Joins A cross join that does not have a WHERE clause produces the Cartesian product of the tables involved in the join. The size of a Cartesian product result set is the number of rows in the first table multiplied by the number of rows in the second table. However, if a WHERE clause is added, the cross join behaves as an inner join. B: You can use the IIF in the ON-statement. IIF returns one of two values, depending on whether the Boolean expression evaluates to true or false in SQL Server. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh213574.aspx You have a database that tracks orders and deliveries for customers in North America. System versioning is enabled for all tables. The database contains the Sales.Customers, Application. Cities, and Sales. You discover an application bug that impacts customer data for records created on or after January 1, 2014. In order to fix the data impacted by the bug, application programmers require a report that contains customer data as it existed on December 31 , 2013. You need to provide the query for the report. Which Transact-SQL statement should you use? The datetime datetype defines a date that is combined with a time of day with fractional seconds that is based on a 24-hour clock. The DATEFROMPARTS function returns a date value for the specified year, month, and day. You are creating a report to measure the impact of advertising efforts that were designed to attract new customers. The report must show the number of new customers per day for each customer category, but only if the number of new customers is greater than five. You need to write the query to return data for the report. How should you complete the Transact-SQL statement? To answer, drag the appropriate Transact-SQL segments to the correct locations. Each Transact-SQL segment may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. The marketing department is performing an analysis of how discount affect credit limits. They need to know the average credit limit per standard discount percentage for customers whose standard discount percentage is between zero and four. You need to create a query that returns the data for the analysis. How should you complete the Transact-SQL statement? To answer, drag the appropriate Transact-SQL segments to the correct locations. Each Transact-SQL segments may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. Box 1: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 Pivot example: — Pivot table with one row and five columns SELECT 'AverageCost' AS Cost_Sorted_By_Production_Days, [0], [1], [2], [3], [4] (SELECT DaysToManufacture, StandardCost FROM Production.Product) AS SourceTable AVG(StandardCost) FOR DaysToManufacture IN ([0], [1], [2], [3], [4]) ) AS PivotTable; Box 2: [CreditLimit] Box 3: PIVOT You can use the PIVOT and UNPIVOT relational operators to change a table-valued expression into another table. PIVOT rotates a table-valued expression by turning the unique values from one column in the expression into multiple columns in the output, and performs aggregations where they are required on any remaining column values that are wanted in the final output. The IN clause determines whether a specified value matches any value in a subquery or a list. Syntax: test_expression [ NOT ] IN ( subquery | expression [ ,…n ] ) Where expression[ ,… n ] is a list of expressions to test for a match. All expressions must be of the same type as test_expression. References: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177410(v=sql.105).aspx You are preparing a promotional mailing. The mailing must only be sent to customers in good standing that live in medium and large cities. You need to write a query that returns all customers that are not on credit hold who live in cities with a population greater than 10,000. Box 1: IN ( Syntax: test_expression [ NOT ] IN ( subquery | expression [ ,…n ] ) Where subquery Is a subquery that has a result set of one column. This column must have the same data type as test_expression. Box 2: WHERE Box 3: AND [IsOnCreditHold] = 0 Box 4: Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same or similar answer choices. An answer choice may be correct for more than one question in the series. Each question is independent of the other questions in this series. Information and details provided in a question apply only to that question. You have a table named Products that contains information about the products that your company sells. The table contains many columns that do not always contain values. You need to implement an ANSI standard method to convert the NULL values in the query output to the phrase "Not Applicable". What should you implement? A. the COALESCE function B. a view C. a table-valued function D. the TRY PARSE function E. a stored procedure F. the ISNULL function G. a scalar function H. the TRY CONVERT function The ISNULL function replaces NULL with the specified replacement value. You have a database that is denormalized. Users make frequent changes to data in a primary table. You need to ensure that users cannot change the tables directly, and that changes made to the primary table also update any related tables. Using an Indexed View would allow you to keep your base data in properly normalized tables and maintain data-integrity while giving you the denormalized "view" of that data. References: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4789091/updating-redundant- denormalized-data-automatically-in-sql-server You have a database that stores sales and order information. Users must be able to extract information from the tables on an ad hoc basis. They must also be able to reference the extracted information as a single table. You need to implement a solution that allows users to retrieve the data required, based on variables defined at the time of the query. User-defined functions that return a table data type can be powerful alternatives to views. These functions are referred to as table-valued functions. A table-valued user-defined function can be used where table or view expressions are allowed in Transact-SQL queries. While views are limited to a single SELECT statement, user-defined functions can contain additional statements that allow more powerful logic than is possible in views. A table-valued user-defined function can also replace stored procedures that return a single result set. You have a table named AuditTrail that tracks modifications to data in other tables. The AuditTrail table is updated by many processes. Data input into AuditTrail may contain improperly formatted date time values. You implement a process that retrieves data from the various columns in AuditTrail, but sometimes the process throws an error when it is unable to convert the data into valid date time values. You need to convert the data into a valid date time value using the en-US format culture code. If the conversion fails, a null value must be returned in the column output. The conversion process must not throw an error. Answer: H A TRY_CONVERT function returns a value cast to the specified data type if the cast succeeds; otherwise, returns null. References: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230993.aspx You have the following subqueries: Subquery1 , Subquery2, and Subquery3. You need to replace the three subqueries with named result sets or temporary tables. The following requirements must be met: Which replacement techniques should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. Subquery1: common table expression (CTE) A common table expression (CTE) can be thought of as a temporary result set that is defined within the execution scope of a single SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or CREATE VIEW statement. A CTE is similar to a derived table in that it is not stored as an object and lasts only for the duration of the query. Unlike a derived table, a CTE can be self-referencing and can be referenced multiple times in the same query. Subquery2: global temporary table Global temporary tables are visible to any user and any connection after they are created, and are deleted when all users that are referencing the table disconnect from the instance of SQL Server. Subquery3: local temporary table Local temporary tables are visible only to their creators during the same connection to an instance of SQL Server as when the tables were first created or referenced. Local temporary tables are deleted after the user disconnects from the instance of SQL Server. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190766(v=sql.105).aspx https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186986.aspx At Lead2pass, we are positive that our Microsoft 70-761 dumps with questions and answers PDF provide most in-depth solutions for individuals that are preparing for the Microsoft 70-761 exam.

Delegation of the European Union to Rwanda https://twitter.com/euinrw https://www.flickr.com/people/eu-rwanda/ https://www.facebook.com/EUDelegationRWA/?ref=bookmarks EEAS > Ruanda > EU Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy in the World 2019 - Rwanda update EU Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy in the World 2019 - Rwanda update The EU Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy in the World 2019 was adopted by Council on 15 June 2020. This report, prepared annually by the EEAS and consulted with the Member States, provides an overview of EU activities to promote and protect human rights and democracy across the globe. 1. Overview of the human rights and democracy situation: During 2019, the overall human rights situation in Rwanda remained unchanged. While the Rwandan government continues to show its strong developmental ambition and performance in the areas of economic and social rights. It also continues to face allegations of the most serious human rights violations – excessive use of force, extra-judicial killings, and enforced disappearances. Over the past 18 months, several members or followers of unregistered opposition movements, primarily FDU-Inkingi, either have disappeared or were killed. Representatives of this party and some human rights activists suspect official involvement in such cases, but authorities deny that and say that these cases are investigated as any other cases. Human rights advocates continue to report on arbitrary detentions and use of torture and other inhuman or degrading treatment in detention facilities and in centres where destitute individuals, including minors, are allegedly held without due process. Freedom of expression remains limited, but room for debate is expanding through online media. On rights of LGBTI persons, Rwanda remains the only country in East Africa that does not criminalise consensual same-sex sexual acts, but lacks provisions in its legal code to protect LGBTI persons from discrimination, nor does it recognise unions and partnerships between same-sex. 2. EU action – key focus areas: The EU and the Member States have continued to focus on two main priority areas: (i) the area of the most serious violations of human rights – i.e. enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions and use of torture and other inhuman or degrading treatment in detention facilities, and (ii) the area with the most significant restrictions of human rights – i.e. the politically related rights, freedoms of expression, association and assembly. EU missions have also attended court hearings of political opponents. The EU delegation and EU Member States in Rwanda carried out a number of public diplomacy activities with the aim of promoting specific issues related to human rights. For instance, the EU, the Netherlands and Sweden promoted the rights of LGBTI persons through various initiatives. The rights of children were promoted throughout the year, to mark the 30th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. 3. EU bilateral political engagement: The EU continued to engage on human rights and democracy with Rwanda within the framework of regular political dialogue as well as on other occasions. General concerns regarding the length of pre-trial detention, enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings were raised with government and relevant authorities, as were individual cases. The EU and Member States missions have also undertaken several human rights-related demarches during the year, particularly with respect to the Human Rights Council agenda. 4. EU financial engagement: At the operational level, the EU delegation and EU Member States supported projects or initiatives that contribute to the achievement of EU human rights priorities for Rwanda. The year 2019 saw a call for proposals related to the main priorities. The four projects to be financed under this call relate to freedom of expression and the rights of journalists; the reintegration of prisoners as well as the rights of mentally and persons with intellectual disabilities. These projects will begin implementation in 2020. In 2019, five Rwanda journalists carried out a fellowship with the Danish Union of Journalists through the EU's Media4Democracy facility. 5. Multilateral context: Rwanda was a member of the UN Human Rights Council until the end of 2019. The country largely voted along the lines of the EU and remained a reliable partner in the African group. Rwanda has shown strong engagement by the responsible authorities, in particular the Ministry of Justice, with respect to the UPR process by organising meetings and retreats with the civil society platform and diplomats. The third UPR review is scheduled for 2020.

To See or to be Seen. As you may have lived this way, you cannot remember, when it was, and you cannot get rid off. You don't know, as it is called matrix, such amazing similarity is there within your sight, not your observation. Like you see something without reading.

There is an urgent need to convene a national conversation about digital rights in Canada and to create a digital rights strategy. The development and social adoption of emerging digital technologies (such as social media platforms, mobile technology, smart cities, the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, automated vehicles, and others) is happening quickly. Our existing models for data ownership, consent, privacy, and more require reform. We are calling on the federal government to convene this national conversation and to respond with a strategy for Canadian digital rights. Such a strategy must include a public education campaign and a consultation process on digital rights, technology ethics, equitable access to the Internet, and the ways these issues impact our quality of life, the governance of our economy, and the safety of our democracy. This is not an exhaustive list, rather a suggested starting set of themes that require a broad conversation around issues, opportunities, and the legal and policy responses required. We believe it is negligent to continue going forward into a digital economy without social consent regarding how technology is impacting our lives. The urgency around this conversation is only increasing as we move into the use of novel technologies with new sets of potential unintended consequences. The time for action on digital rights is now. We urge the federal government to educate, convene, and consult on this issue. Please only enter the first 3 characters of the postal code.
