TIP: If you are pattern matching with char datatypes , remember that chars are padded with spaces at the end to fill the length of the field. This may give you unexpected results when you use the LIKE condition to pattern match at the end of a string. NOTE: You can only define an escape character as a single character. It is best to choose a character that will not appear in your data very often such as! Answer: To answer this question, let's look at an example. Share on:.

If it is worse and how much worse it is, depends on how large your list of expressions is and whether the column is indexed or not, among others. It is just a warning, so that the original poster is not surprised when he starts implementing it.

Ok, this would work, but it's not going into my intended direction of making the SQL statement more easily readable : — selfawaresoup. Only use indenting and naming for SQL readability, when you make other modifications for readability only you risk changing the execution plan which affects index usage and performance. If you are not careful, you can easily change an instantly running query to a very slow one by making trivial changes.

The first statement of this answer is key -- most? SQL-based systems and languages don't support what you want, not without implementing work-arounds. I honestly don't know, I've never used FT indexing. I tossed it in as a sample of a possible work-around that's already included in the product.

That all changed once I began looking for ways to raise the height of my arches. Footwear providing minimal interference with the natural movement of the foot due to its high flexibility, low heel to toe drop, weight and stack height, and the absence of motion control and stability devices.

So, as you can see, minimalist shoes have several characteristics that separate them from other types of footwear. I spend the majority of the time now in minimalist shoes. This includes both everyday use and working out. That right there is probably reason enough to continue wearing them.

But I also think there are a lot of other benefits that have come from using them. So here are my top five reasons for using minimalist shoes. Many shoes on the market have raised heels. Elevated heels can be found in everything from dress shoes to running shoes and many types of casual shoes.

Increasing ankle flexibility was one of the keys to improving my arches. A traditional shoe, with its raised heel, puts the calf muscles in a shortened position.

This is the opposite of what I was trying to accomplish. The conventional heel-to-toe drop the difference in height from the back to the front of the shoe is around millimeters in running shoes. Shoes marketed as minimalist typically have a drop of less than 6mm. I prefer the ones that are completely flat. This is sometimes referred to as zero-drop or a zero heel-to-toe differential.

Minimalist shoes typically have thin and flexible soles without a lot of added cushioning. This helps create that barefoot-like experience. A lot of the training I was doing for my arches involved adjusting the way that I walked. This involved spending time walking barefoot while paying attention to what my feet were doing. With minimalist shoes, I could replicate a lot of that training because I could actually feel what my feet were doing inside the shoes.

Traditional shoes often have thick cushioning, almost like having a tiny mattress underneath the foot. With the thin soles of minimalist shoes, there is a much better feel for the ground.

The vast majority of footwear seems to be designed with narrow toe boxes. So many shoes out there are tapered in the front and shaped like a bullet. This is not typically the shape of the foot. Having a wide or anatomically-shaped toe box gives the toes enough room to spread out.

I consider this an important part of stabilizing the arch. Using these shoes without socks or pairing them with Tabi socks feels so much better than having the toes crammed together into a narrow toe box. Key features of minimalist shoes include: zero pitch heels; minimal padding; ultra-thin soles; flexible upper materials; minimal arch support and a wide toe box.

The Nike-Free renewed the interest in minimalist and partially minimalist footwear, when it hit the shelves in Since then, other manufactures have followed suit, with their own versions. Sketchers are another example, open to the general non-athletic population and have become hugely popular due to their soft, light weight construction. The most extreme example of minimalist shoe on the market today, is the ultra-minimal Vibram Five-Finger running shoe.

Wearing this shoe is about as close as you can get to actually being bare-footed. In , a class-action was taken against Vibram for promoting the unsubstantiated benefits of the bare-foot movement. Bobux make great minimalist shoes for young children. There is, however, a general agreement among health professionals regarding the benefits of minimalist footwear in young children.

It is largely accepted that simulating barefoot walking as little feet develop by wearing flexible, lightweight footwear maximises sensory feed-back and proprioception, whilst protecting them from harm. Happy Fit Footwear stocks a range of Bobux shoes for early walkers, which are ideally suited for the unique demands of each stage of childhood gait development.

Please refer to a recent blog by my colleague Romany Vonarx for a detailed discussion on this topic. Are they a seasoned athlete looking for a new challenge?

Perhaps they are bored of their current training regime and running shoes. Other factors for consideration include their age, weight, current activity and fitness levels and whether or not they are used to going barefooted. Physical assessment includes evaluation of core, gluteal and leg strength, effectiveness and efficiency of the quads and hamstrings, balance, proprioception the ability to know where your body is in space and ability to perform single leg heel raises on each side.

Has the patient undergone a total joint replacement or are there any issues with the lumbo-sacral spine? It is important to consider that barefoot running first emerged as a new training method among the elite running community. It was intended as a method of training and conditioning which could be added once a week to stimulate the feet and increase athletic performance. The Nike Free running shoe was originally designed for this purpose.

When running, the feet must support between 2. So unless you have the body frame of the leading athletes in the City to Surf, minimalistic footwear such as the Nike Free, are probably not such a good idea.

If you are over-weight or untrained your risk of injury will be very high. Most people strike the ground with their heel, but to run barefooted you must change your technique and land on your forefoot.

Because of the lack of heel cushioning, minimalist shoes have been associated with an increased incidence of heel calcaneal fractures, especially in high arched, rigid foot types. If there is no history of metatarsal stress fracture, plantar heel pain or Achilles issues, barefoot running can serve to vary the stresses on the feet and lower extremities. As form and function change, and joints and muscles are worked either more or less, your injury patterns will change.

I am not a running coach. The majority of people I treat are not 65kg elite runners. Athlete or not, I first need to understand the motivation for a person to move towards barefoot or minimalist footwear, and what their goals are.

Consideration should be given to their biomechanics or and lower extremity structure. With over 20 years-experience as a podiatrist, I say with some confidence, minimalist footwear is a major contributor to the onset of many foot injuries. With its flat and supremely flexible sole and generous toe box, the Primal 2 is a durable and versatile option for those hoping to achieve foot health naturally.

The Ahinsa Bindu 2 Bare is a lightweight and minimalist casual shoe that's handmade in the Czech Republic using high-quality, regionally-sourced materials. Incorporating one of the widest toe boxes we've ever seen, the Bindu 2 Bare is Correct Toes compatible and truly lets your toes roam free.

This shoe also has a flat, flexible sole and low overall stack height. Featuring a flexible zero drop sole and wide footbed, the Z-Trail is a lightweight option for those who enjoy an open-toe footwear experience.

Many people are aware that a transition period is required when switching from conventional shoes to minimalist shoes now Robyn and I are often stopped on hiking and running trails by fellow outdoor enthusiasts who Read more Comments February 21, Marc Desrochers There is no mention of how wide the shoes are, nor how high the arch is for a given length. Many people who go minimalist would also like to know what the other measurements are.

Thank you for your comment. Those are indeed some good considerations that you mentioned, and they ought to be assessed—in person, if possible—when selecting footwear, including minimalist footwear. I wear Lems Boulder Boots and love them but … I was wearing them in the woods and the soft outer sole material allowed a stick splinter, about half the size of a pencil, to penetrate right through the sole.

Is there something that can be done to beef up the sole to protect against such things? Or is there a foot-healthy boot alternative that could be suggested? The outsole of the Boulder Boot is made of a rather soft air-infused rubber, which makes it more lightweight beneficial but also more prone to punctures not beneficial.

But doing so will also add weight, reduce sole flexibility, and strip you of some of the tactile feedback you rely on to make proper footfalls it may also make the in-shoe environment more uncomfortable. So, there are some real tradeoffs involved here. Thank you for your question. Ideally, what you want to experience is a midfoot landing when running and walking.

The more minimalist your shoe is, the easier this is to achieve. Certainly, if you were to try walking barefoot, you would find that a midfoot landing is the default option. I have been using Correct Toes for 5 months. I followed directions and used transitional shoes and slowly began to trim the Correct Toes to find max comfort. Then I decided to try my first Lems Primal 2s after almost a month of using Correct Toes in conventional running shoes that I had slit around the toe box.

The Primal 2s were a dream. It took a while to stop landing on my heel, but finally, I adopted the midfoot landing and I immediately ordered more minimalist shoes. I now own four pairs of Lems Primal 2s, Mariners, and Boulder Boots, the latter of which are on my feet now. The only real downside has been offering my former shoes to others. I guess they are better than no shoes, but I feel a little guilty knowing what they did to my feet and skeletal system.

Re: Partially filling a serving hatch Post by ayjay » Thu Jul 06, am guy. Re: Partially filling a serving hatch Post by dewaltdisney » Sat Jul 08, am Well not necessarily G, I think that you should always future proof as best you can when you do a job.

Looking ahead you can detect trends so it is best to conform to the common themes in homes. Looking at how kitchen trends go you can reckon on ten years before a look becomes dated. Some modern looks will date quicker then others and it is hard to spot the evergreen look. Back to serving hatches, they are actually quite useful in some situations but they smack of the 60's and look awful now. The test is if you were viewing your house to buy would it put you off along with dated kitchens and bathrooms.

This is just my view. Re: Partially filling a serving hatch Post by Grendel » Sat Jul 08, pm Funny you should say about how things are changing kitchenwise. Listening to You and Yours on radio 4 the other week there was an article about kitchens and they talked to a designer who was saying that more and more places are being built without a kitchen at all.

He himself hadn't used or lived in a home with an oven for best part of a decade and his rational did make some sense even if I wouldn't agree. Firstly , as he said , a kitchen takes up otherwise valuable space and some spend an enormous amount of money on a kitchen which without the running costs can add up to tens of pounds per day over the life of that kitchen. When asked where his food comes from he explained how it was all brought in and living in London his choice was not limited to pizza and burgers , practically anything is available and all he needed at his home was a coffee maker.

I think any art etc is going to cost more? It's just a very tight budget so not paying for 2 whole walls vs dad doing a bit of skimming himself for the tiles was the idea. Probably wouldn't go for massive pieces of art so don't need to worry about sending the money there instead.

Walls and ceiling are about to get their base coat of white so we won't feel quite so much like a building site! You could leave as it is or perhaps put a nice piece of stained glass in it. This makes it into a feature and lets the light through as well. I like this idea but my husband has an irrational hated of stained glass! I am thinking an alcove on the lounge side and a sort of feature notice board thing in the kitchen. I have, and the kitchen is quite dark so any light is good.

I can't quite picture an internal window without thinking it's a bit strange! Would love to see good examples. I have an opening between two rooms - slightly bigger but similar. I have small speakers Sonas with Alexa on it for both rooms, or a small radio may be suitable here - also have a light. I have had a wooden venetian blind made to fit so that it can be closed off if needed. I blocked mine off - and its really frustrating now to have to walk round carrying hot food. I also miss out on any conversations going on in the dining room while I'm in the kitchen I took all the trim off and it looked ok - I will be unboarding it very soon!

Thanks Skinnyjules, that;s why we kept it until now. But now the table is in the kitchen diner it's not such an issue. And I like not having to listen to kids programmes whilst I am in the kitchen! I am coming around to making it a bigger window I must say, even with an extra window the kitchen is quite dark. Thanks all for your thoughts.

Well anything you do will be an improvement, the hardboard needs to go for a start! You could make it an internal window to keep the noise and smells separate and then use it to display plants or ornaments.

Thanks for your advice both of you. We live in England to answer your question Gabby. Is there a rule in Scotland that the aisles have to be cm and if so why? Jonathan, I was kind of thinking we would want to use the island for eating meals on like we do now with our current kitchen table, but I guess if the DR is open to the kitchen then it wouldn't be a problem to take a few steps more to the dining room table because we use it so infrequently at the moment I am finding that hard to visualise.

I am going to post a better plan of our current kitchen and dining room with the pantry taken out and I am also going to post a photo looking out from the window in our dining room. I am wondering if we did turn the DR into our kitchen could we make the window ledge higher and put the units in an L-shape so we could put the sink in the window?

Since the Order is relatively new, historically speaking, the Bible does not address it specifically. However, the Bible does have multiple passages on what to do when considering new groups and ideologies. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. We must also be sure that we are not faced with anything that distorts the truth. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.

For more insight on spotting false teachings, see 2 Peter 2 or this article from affiliate Bible Study Tools. Finally, the Order of the Eastern Star places high value on works and being worthy of membership. However, we must be careful not to become like the Pharisees Jesus condemns in Matthew The main draws of the Order are probably fellowship and the opportunity to do good. However, these are things that should be found in abundance in a healthy church. If your church is lacking in opportunities to participate in fellowship, look into what you can do.

Could you start or join a Bible study? Reach out to others in the church, or even talk to your pastor about ways to connect. Churches are also meant to be positive forces in the community.

Though many opportunities to serve are probably announced at your church, others may be flying under the radar. Ask around to see how you can help, whether within the church, or with external outreach and ministry. If you see a need, work with others to fill it. There are also many Christian organizations dedicated to doing good, from major international organizations to your local homeless shelter.

There are plenty of places to get involved and affect positive change without joining the Order. Though a person can be a Christian and a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, the two ideologies are not necessarily compatible. History of the Order of the Eastern Star. Otherwise, all the offices are held by women. To ask what the Star does is a bit like asking what a Lodge does. The easy answer is: Not much.

However, the Star does what little it does with a tremendous amount of pomp and ceremony. Star meetings, like Lodge meetings, consist of opening the meeting with much waving of rods and banners and the singing of hymns. The officers ritually declare their stations and functions and Grand Chapter officers are introduced and honored with tedious predictability. This can easily kill a half hour to forty-five minutes.

Then, minutes are read, sick members are mentioned and any items of mundane business transacted, much like any other club. If members are to be initiated, that is done, and that can take at least an hour. Then the chapter is solemnly closed, with a lot more ceremonial ado, followed by a social hour. Ultimately, the chief function of a Star chapter, like a Lodge, is to make more members! Everything else is secondary to that. Classics like How Great Thou Art are sung. The motto of the chapter is right out of the Bible: "We have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him'" Matthew Sadly, one of the key strategies a cult uses is to play upon the common interpretation of words.

Dealing with any cult involves getting through a jungle of definitions. The cult will use words which have common meanings, like "Jesus" or "saved," or well known Bible verses, but will carefully not explain to potential members that they have applied a subtext to these terms, a second layer of meaning!

Most chapters meet twice per month in the evening although some chapters meet monthly.

In such cases the mother must ensure the child does not disrupt the meeting. The Order is a fraternal organization open for membership to both women and men. We are dedicated to furthering the principles of Freemasonry and enjoying these efforts alongside our spouses and fraternal friends.

Mathematicians have tried to determine how many moves are needed to solve a completely jumbled up cube: in , it was announced as 22, but the computations to get there took decades of processor time. In , Chinese topologists reported a way to map the mechanism—results that may have implications in other multi-structure mechanisms from laser printing to deep space exploration aircraft.

To date, more than million Rubik's Cubes have been sold, making it one of the most popular toys of the 20th century. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data. Select personalised content. Create a personalised content profile.

During production, the two mold pieces are brought together to form the plastic part and then opened to release it.

The tool includes ejector pins that release the molded parts from the tools as it opens. All the parts are molded with auto gating tools that automatically remove the parts from the sprue as it is ejected. The molds are also produced with a slight taper, called release angle, which aids in removal.

Finally, when molds are designed, they are slightly bigger than the pieces that they ultimately will produce. This is because as the plastics cool, they shrink. Different plastics will have a different shrink rate, and each tool must be specifically designed for the material that will be used. The commercial cube is composed of six fixed cubes, eight movable cubes on the corners and 12 movable cubes on the edges.

Each cube is one of six colors. The Rubik's cube has red, yellow, blue, green, white, and orange colors. In its solved state, each color is on only one face. When the cube is rotated, the edges and corners move and the cube becomes scrambled. The challenge of the puzzle is to restore each cube to its original position.

The cube is extremely challenging because there are slightly more than 43 quintillion 4. The standard Rubik's cube has sides of about 2. Various other sizes have also been produced such as a 1.

The shape has also been varied and puzzles in the form of a tetrahedral, a pyramid, and an octahedral are among types that were produced. The Rubik's cube also led to the development of game derivatives like the Rubik's cube puzzle and the Rub it cube eraser. The individual pieces that make up the Rubik's cube are typically produced from plastic. Plastics are high molecular weight materials that can be produced through various chemical reactions called polymerization.

Most of the plastics used in a Rubik's cube are thermoplastics. These compounds are rigid, durable, and can be permanently molded into various shapes. The plastics used in the Rubik's cube are acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ABS and nylon.

For decorative purposes, a colorant is typically added to the plastic. The pieces of a Rubik's cube are typically black. During production, colored stickers are put on the outside of the cube to denote the color of a side. The plastics that are used during production are supplied to the manufacturer in a pellet form complete with the filler and colorants.

These pellets can then be loaded into the molding machines directly. The manufacture of the first Rubik's cube prototypes was by hand. During the late s, methods for mass production were developed and continue to be used today. Typically, production is a step by step process that involves injection molding of the pieces, fitting the pieces together, decorating the Rubik's cube, and putting the finished product in packaging.

To ensure that each toy will be a high quality product, quality control inspectors check the product at each phase of production. Back then, puzzles were just a small slice of the overall toy market — you could only find them in souvenir and specialty shops — and thinking of a puzzle as a toy was a novel concept. It appeared in Hungarian toy stores in , and was featured in international toy fairs, such as the Nuremburg Toy Fair — where it was spotted by Tom Kremer, a marketer who brought the concept to Ideal Toy Company in United States.

Kim documents the way kids are mastering an analog tool using tools of the digital age — YouTube tutorials, articles, and more — and creating online communities around their love of the cube. For all of its appeal to mathematical skill and logic, the broad popularity of the Cube may be rooted in the nearly limitless number of possible solutions.

This article was originally published on Undark. The cube did make occasional appearances in the news, however, such as the Masterpiece Cube that was created in by Diamond Cutters Int. The Fridrich method also known as CFOP , an acronym for the stages of the puzzle is regarded today as the best speedcubing method, and the world record single and average times have been held by Fridrich solvers for many years, despite Fridrich herself estimating that the method would not be efficient for consistent times under 13 seconds.

This was the first official organisation that would be responsible for the running of official speedcubing competitions and monitoring of national and international achievements. The WCA has helped grow speedcubing and has taken the hobby to many new countries. The WCA is today recognised as the official speedcubing association and any potential World Records must be set under WCA regulations and delegation before they are recognised.

In this year, the second World Championship took place.
