Microsoft Access Versus SQL Server

Here's a comparison of Microsoft Access and SQL Server from a technical perspective, as well as from a functionality standpoint.

Technical Specifications & Limitations

Here's a look at some of the main differences in the limitations between Microsoft Access and SQL Server.

Attribute Access 2016 SQL Server 2016
Maximum database size (including all objects and data) 2 GB, minus the space needed for system objects. 524,272 terabytes
Maximum data size Whatever's left over after deducting the system objects from 2 GB. 16 terabytes
Maximum number of simultaneous users / concurrent connections 255 32,767
Maximum number of columns/fields per table 255

1,024 forÂ nonwide tables

30,000 for wide tables

Number of characters in a Text field (Access) Bytes per varchar(max), varbinary(max), xml, text, or image column (SQL Server) 255 2^31-1
Number of characters in a Long Text field (Access), orÂ per ntext or nvarchar(max) column (SQL Server)

65,535 when entering data through the user interface;

1 gigabyte of character storage when entering data programmatically.4,000 when the UnicodeCompression property of the fields is set to Yes. This limit also applies toÂ OLE Object fields.

Number of indexes in a table 32 including indexes created internally to maintain table relationships, single-field and composite indexes.

999 nonclustered indexes per table.

8 indexes per memory-optimised table.

Number of characters in an SQL statement Â Approximately 64,000*

65,536 * Network packet size

Network Packet Size is the size of the tabular data stream (TDS) packets used to communicate between applications and the relational Database Engine. The default packet size is 4 KB, and is controlled by the network packet size configuration option.

Number of objects in a database 32,768 Â 2,147,483,647
Number of fields/columns per foreign key 10 Â 16
Number of fields/columns per primaryÂ key Â 10 16
Number of fields/columns per index Â 10

If the table contains one or more XML indexes, the clustering key of the user table is limited to 15 columns because the XML column is added to the clustering key of the primary XML index.

In SQL Server, you can include nonkey columns in a nonclustered index to avoid the limitation of a maximum of 16 key columns.

Â Number of fields/columns in a recordset/SELECT statement Â 255 Â 4,096
Number of nested subqueries Â 50* Â 32

*Might be lower if the query includes multivalued lookup fields.

Know someone who is going through a tough time? Is that someone you? The simplest action or even token can make the world of a difference to a person. Do you know how to handle your loved one’s pain? What type of first aid do you offer the people in your life?

Want to help someone calm down? Whatever you do, please don’t say: “Calm Down.” Instead, make eye contact. Listen; don’t just hear what he is saying. Touch him if it’s called for, or just be physically present. Affection can actually lower someone’s cortisol levels. At times, just watching a movie with her or keeping her company can be more powerful than a conversation. Speaking of which, are you the type of person who eats all the popcorn while still going through the trailers? Aha.

Never dismiss someone’s pain. It’s tantamount to dismissing them. So you think she’s overreacting? You’ve haven’t seen a woman overreact until you tell her she’s overreacting. We don’t get to decide how much pain someone is allowed to feel. Validate her, and then help her realize that she can handle more than she thinks.

Figure out a way to make him feel less alone. Sometimes going out for that cup of coffee and sipping it in a neutral, relaxed environment can make it easier to open up and share. If you’re Hungarian or Italian, then you know that nothing says “I care” as much as bringing over some delicious delicacies or homemade goodies. You’ll always have “a pizza my heart.” Awww. “Penne for your thoughts?”

When you’re down in the dumps, the smallest errand can seem like a grandiose effort. You made a huge “To Do” list today, but you can’t figure out who’s going to do it. I know the feeling. This is mine: Make Lists. Look at the lists. Panic. Heh. So help her cross things off of her list by taking charge of some of those chores. Empathize or even reflect back to him what he may be feeling. It’s actually okay to offer advice if asked for, but remember: Everyone has to live with the decisions they ultimately make. You don’t. If you have too much invested and feel you can’t be fair or impartial, you may have to recuse yourself and simply lend that shoulder.

We all know someone who seems to have received a PhD from Know-It-All University. And how come know-it-alls don’t know how annoying they are? Lol. Remember, we are not experts on other people’s lives. Please be humble and use expressions such as: “It seems to me…” or “It sounds like…” “There may be another way to look at this…” Perhaps share something you went through and how you coped. But please do not steal the spotlight by having a “worse” scenario. It’s not a competition, after all.

Please let your loved one or friend know that he has a right to feel sad or angry if it is warranted. Of course, if he gets too angry, remind him that “prison orange” is not his color. Heh. As always, you may use the magic four words: “How can I help?” There is no one-size-fits-all. What works with one friend may not feel good at all to another.

Little gestures of outreach can be huge to someone suffering. Sit next to your friend. Be the first to text just to let him know you were thinking of him today. When someone’s hurting, trust me: they do not care about hearing the “right” thing from you. What they really crave is being heard. Feeling the weight of their worry, and just trying to understand, even in situations when you truly can’t, lets them know how deeply you care and how much you cherish them.

Be invested in who your loved one is, and especially who he wants to become. Oftentimes, we need to be showered with soothing, consoling, and comforting words. Sometimes you can figure out what your friend needs even if she is not aware that she needs it. No, you can’t fix it. You are not rescuing her, just letting her know that whatever it is that she is going through at the moment, she is not alone. Because your energy is with her.

Always try to leave someone better than when you found them. Let’s be honest. Some days we all need someone to love us just a bit louder. Don’t worry, sweet friends: Your fingerprints won’t fade, no matter how many lives you touch.

American Horror Story: Murder House

Aired: October 5 – December 21, 2011
DVD Release:  September 25, 2012

American Horror Story: Murder HouseIn American Horror Story: Murder House, on the precipice of divorce, Ben (Dylan McDermott) and Vivian (Connie Britton) relocate from Boston to a renovated mansion in Los Angeles with their daughter Violet (Tassia Farmiga) in order to start again. Little do they know that the great price that they got on the mansion is due to its dark history of violence. Will they become eternal tenants to be the rare people to leave the house alive?

I was very late to catch the American Horror Story train. Always a Ryan Murphy fan, Feud was a work of genius, horror simply isn’t a genre that I would regularly choose to watch. One night, my 16-year-old and I were talking about what to watch and we landed on American Horror Story: Murder House. Let’s be clear, while I know my daughter is old enough to watch shows like American Horror Story Murder House, it was a little uncomfortable at times to be watching it with her. Some of the themes are quite adult but the story is engaging and the acting is spectacular.

in American Horror Story: Murder House Ben and Vivian go to California looking for a new start after Ben cheats with one of his students. Vivian suffers a miscarriage. Ben opens his psychiatry practice from the spectacularly beautiful wood-paneled library (the real house used in the show was built in 1908 and is 10,000+ square feet. For more information, click here). He takes as a patient Tate (Evan Peters), a troubled teen who forges a bond with Violet that doesn’t especially thrill Ben. Complicating matters are the sometimes young and sometimes old maid, Moira (Frances Conroy and Alexandra Breckenridge), a somewhat overbearing neighbor played by Jessica Lange and her mischievous daughter who slips into the house at will scaring its occupants is played by Jamie Brewer. As time unfolds, the former occupants reveal themselves to the new owners and their motivations are very rarely innocent.

While hesitant to start this series, I have to say American Horror Story Murder House is wonderful. The stories of the former occupants are deep, complex and fully realized. Lily Rabe plays the wife of the first owner of the house. She suffered a great loss and the actress plays both her grieving a manipulative sides to perfection. Zachary Quinto gives another outstanding performance as a former owner trapped eternally in a relationship with someone with whom he’d rather not spend eternity. Jessica Lange perhaps, not surprisingly, gives the best performance as a woman. She has a deep connection with the house and is torn in a love-hate relationship with her life and desperate need to stay nearby. She won a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award for her performance in the role of Constance Langdon. Truly, at many points, the show is a work of art.

One of the constant characters is the man in the rubber suit. The art department deserves a lot of credit for the way he sometimes floats through the scene. There are a few really unforeseen twists that just thrilled this viewer, and while not all character stories were as interesting as the others, as everything came together it was clear the story was just astoundingly well done. At first, I did find the show a little scary, but as episodes progressed, I just simply could not stop watching.

If you’re looking for a good ghost story this post-Halloween weekend, binge the 12 episodes in this season and remember, Season 8 all comes back to that gorgeous house.

American Horror Story Murder House is available as a DVD, Blu-ray and on Amazon Instant Video.

Sprouting made easy.

Updated: Mar 30

Why would you sprout your food?

This is one of my favourite ways to experiment with food because it's so easy and cheap! Sprouting is essentially the practice of germinating (growing) seeds. You can sprout many every day foods including grains, nuts, beans and seeds. Today I have chosen mung beans.

Some of the health benefits from sprouting include the food becomes easier to digest and for my body to access their full nutritional profile. Recent studies were able to show when comparing sprouted grains to unsprouted grain seeds, the unsprouted grains had a lower protein content, lower profile of essential amino acids, lower protein and starch availabilities, and the presence of certain anti nutrients (1).

One of the reasons this occurs is because soaking and sprouting can decrease a naturally occurring 'anti-nutrient' called phytic acid (2).

Read more about anti-nutrients here.

  • 1/2 cup dried whole mung beans

  • Water

  • Medium/large glass jar

  • Chux or muslin cloth

  • Rubber band

  1. Cover the mung beans in water and soak for 24 hours

  2. Drain the water and give the mung beans an extra rinse under running water

  3. Pour the soaked beans in the jar. Do not place lid on jar

  4. Instead of lid, place a square of chux/muslin cloth over the opening and secure with a rubber band

  5. Place the jar in a warm/room temperature place, on a 45 degree angle with the end of the jar that is covered in chux/muslin cloth facing down.

  6. Leave for 24-36 hours for the beans to sprout, giving the jar a gentle shake every 12 hours.

  7. After they sprouted to your liking, place lid back on jar and place in fridge.

Confusing Technology With Intelligence

TechnologyI am not picking on Chris Lehmann who I see as one of the nice educators of our time – however – I have heard this invisible technology” argument many, many times, particularly for the reason that iPad announcement (as Cory Doctorow discusses brilliantly on boingboing), and it troubles me, and baffles me. Outsourcing has meant bigger profits for firms, but a decline in wages and conditions and more unemployment for odd workers, especially in Western nations. The creation of an actual ‘Jurassic Park’ and the dystopian imaginative and prescient of giant dinosaurs running around eating folks willy nilly might or might not be doable In either case the use of genetic science and technology to create novel organisms supplies ample opportunities for humanity to destroy itself.

This unequal and unbalanced treaty legitimized the possession of nuclear weapons within the palms of five states, whereas inserting numerous restrictions and controls on entry to and software of nuclear technology by different states, coupled with only lip service to discount in nuclear arsenals. Technology truly will increase numbers of jobs, simply totally different ones than we’re used to. It also increases productiveness to what would have been unbelievable ranges only some years in the past. Shyness, which is a persona trait that can’t be managed, inhibits traditional classroom participation. It has change into appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.

The optimistic impact of technological development (the event in technology) is being noticed in almost all sectors of every nation. In the trendy world when science and technology is quick rising, college students can easily put down answers to series of calculations within a minute with the assistance of scientific calculator. The supplies and resources that nature made for man to stay peacefully with has been altered by technology and this in come what may has been affecting man. The S75 Pro’s Xtend sensor technology permits this gadget to provide trusted outcomes each time. The BACTRACK Breathalyzer uses advanced BluFire Technology with the intention to give you a quick, simple and accurate method to check your blood alcohol content material (BAC). Large Leaps offers their particular present shop, providing presents in the areas of Active Enjoyable, Tailored Enjoyable, Bikes and Trip-Ons, Video games and Puzzles, Similar to Me Dolls, and Leisure.

As college students discuss and try new ideas while studying the new technology or software, they are bettering their ability to work out issues without the help of adults and grow to be higher at communicating. Consultants recommend that such common technology is on the way in the United States and will provide law enforcement with superior tracking alternatives. The analogy with machine learning and with marketing technology in general is clear.

Technology can be defined as the gathering of methods, methods, processes, gadgets and abilities usually from engineering used by man to govern his environment to be able to fulfill his wants and resolve his problems. While I can not communicate to the skills and experiences of others, I can let you know that each attorney I’ve labored with who had by no means used technology prior to working with me will never return to the outdated method of doing issues. One has to go beyond technology partnership that includes the same imaginative and prescient or bottom line that is alike compared. The Amazon Go brick-and-mortar store makes use of technology to make a simple purchasing experience and possibly make use of fewer people.

Abel's mother died when he was one year old, and his father remains unknown. His elderly grandmother cared for him after his mother's death. Because she was concerned about Abel's future care, she sought help from social welfare services. After being approved, Abel arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2010. He soon bonded with his Rafiki Mother and siblings. His favorite subject is science because he loves performing experiments and using a microscope. Abel has a heart for prayer, and he enjoys comparing his notes from Bible study with his Rafiki brothers. His favorite Bible passage is Psalm 29 because it teaches him to be wise and obedient.

Hitachi bi-mode Class 802s launched on London-Penzance route

GWR has launched the first of its bi-mode Class 802 trains into service on August 20 between Paddington and Penzance.

Two of the Hitachi-built five-car trains worked the 07.30 ex-Paddington and 14.00 from Penzance after a press launch between Penzance and Exeter on August 17.

Scarlet’s Orange Cake

This moist, flavourful — and low-calorie — cake is perfect for a holiday brunch or tea party.

Number of servings : 24 servings

Prep time: 30 minutes

Cooking time: 1 hour + 1 hour, cooling time

Type of meal : | Cakes | Cakes

Special diet :

1 cup blanched almonds
2 cups granulated sugar
2¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon each baking soda and salt
4 large egg yolks
2/3 cup vegetable oil
½ cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
7 large egg whites

2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
1 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange rind

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter and flour a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan. In a food processor, process the almonds with ½ cup of the granulated sugar until finely ground. Onto a piece of waxed paper, sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt, then toss with the almond mixture.
  2. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on high, beat the egg yolks for 5 minutes, or until thick and light yellow.
  3. Gradually add the oil, 1 cup of the granulated sugar, the orange juice, and the rind. In another clean, large bowl, with clean beaters and the mixer on high, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Beat in the remaining ½ cup of the granulated sugar until stiff.
  4. Fold one-third of the egg whites into the yolk mixture, then all of the flour mixture and the remaining whites. Spoon into the pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Transfer to a rack.
  5. To make the glaze: While the cake bakes, in a small bowl, stir together 1¾ cups of the confectioners’ sugar and 3 tablespoons of the orange juice; set aside. In a small saucepan, bring the remaining orange juice and ¼ cup of confectioners’ sugar and the rind to a simmer over medium heat.
  6. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, pierce it all over with a toothpick, then drizzle with the hot glaze, letting it soak in. Leave the cake in the pan for 30 minutes. Turn out onto a serving plate and cool 30 minutes more. Drizzle with the remaining cold glaze.

In the space between words

Janice Muller talks to Heiner Goebbels

Heiner Goebbels' Eraritjaritjaka

Heiner Goebbels’ Eraritjaritjaka

Heiner Goebbels’ Eraritjaritjaka

German composer and theatre director Heiner Goebbels is always good for a surprise. The first in his latest production, Eraritjaritjaka—Museum of Phrases, is the title. The piece premiered at Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne in April and is based on texts by Elias Canetti, the Bulgarian-born German novelist, essayist, sociologist and winner of the 1981 Nobel Prize for Literature. Eraritjaritjaka is an Indigenous Australian word from the Arunta language, defined by Canetti in The Agony of Flies (1992) as meaning “full of desire for something that has been lost.” Goebbels is clearly pleased with the title’s linguistic challenge: “I like to have a curious audience, not one who knows what to expect. With this title I can be sure of that, and as a nice side effect the audience can make a little musical rhythmical experience by learning to pronounce it.”

Once mastered, Eraritjaritjaka flows off the tongue with the complexity and lightness characteristic of Goebbels’ theatrical landscapes. As with the equally tongue-twisting Hashirigaki, which dazzled Sydney Festival audiences earlier this year, Goebbels delivers a riveting collage of text, music, sound, light and image by gathering what appear to be disparate elements and placing them side by side in a theatrical context: “I try to construct theatre using musical criteria. I hold myself back and respectfully allow the individual parts I use to keep their own identity and to develop.”

Eraritjaritjaka incorporates text from Crowds and Power (1960), Auto-da-fé (1935) and the many notebooks recorded during Canetti’s lifetime. Goebbels first encountered Crowds and Power while studying sociology in the 1970s. “Canetti’s political sense for balances and against hierarchies not only meets with mine”, says Goebbels “but also with my interest in avoiding these structures in the use of the medias of theatre.” However, it was only recently, at the suggestion of a colleague, he picked up the notebooks. “After a few words I knew immediately that here was something for me to work on, but also”, he laughs, “as usual, it took me 6 years to do so.” His favourite of the notebooks is The Human Province (1942-1975) for “its dense combination of perspectives on politics and privacy. It’s short, bitter and full of humour at the same time.”

Goebbels was attracted to the way Canetti uses words: “He observes the structure and architecture of language as much as he does the society as a whole. The language is reduced, not a word too much and he hates adjectives.” However, it was Canetti’s thoughts on the relationship between music and language that really made an impact: “The way he described the relationship between words and music was like a description of something I had been experimenting with already in my work…Most importantly, he leaves space between the words, which can be useful for music, to make the structure of the sentences transparent and powerful at the same time.”

Eraritjaritjaka features the music of 20th century composers Shostakovich, Mossolov, Scelsi, Oswald, Lobanov, Bryars and Crumb performed by Amsterdam’s Mondriaan String Quartet. “The decision to incorporate a string quartet was about the character of the music, which I considered to be on a metaphorical level comparable to Canetti’s texts”, says Goebbels. However, perhaps in keeping with the nostalgic mood of the title, Eraritjaritjaka ends with the only non-20th century piece to be included, Bach’s The Art of Fugue.

Also on stage is the extraordinary French actor André Wilms, who delivers Canetti’s broad ranging speculations on human behaviour, the nature of power, privacy, language, history, music and animals, savouring the words while never drawing attention away from their impact. “He is a superb actor” Goebbels enthuses, “with a great intelligent taste and huge musical abilities, without being a musician himself.” This is their third collaboration following Or the hapless landing (1993) and Max Black (1998), both also based on notes and notebooks. “We are very confident with each other… which is the most important condition to create something, when we both don’t know much about it in advance.”

Eraritjaritjaka begins with a string quartet, a bare stage, and Shostakovich’s moody quartet # 8. As the last note resounds, a white strip of light cuts the stage in half. The reverberating sound is stretched and amplified into scraping and tearing, while the light peels back the black floor, replacing it with a crisp white square. A blank page? A mirror? A suited man enters. He contemplates the nature of words and music, his gestures and movements part of the music, the music part of his thoughts and utterances.

Goebbels has worked with long term collaborators Klaus Grünberg (set and lights), Willi Bopp (sound) and Florence von Gerkan (costumes). The stage is initially an exquisite but recognisable landscape of clean geometry, black and white contrasts and arresting lighting. However, the overall effect of Eraritjaritjaka is one of peeling back layers, and it is at the halfway point that Goebbels delivers his major surprise. The actor puts on his hat and coat, steps from the stage and leaves the theatre. A cameraman follows. Suddenly we see projected, on the façade of the house that fills the stage, the actor crossing the theatre foyer and riding in a cab through the streets of Lausanne, all the while observing the world around him and listing possibilities for an imagined reality: “A society where people laugh instead of eating. A society in which people suddenly vanish, but no one knows they are dead, there is no death, there is no word for it, but they are content with that” (Elias Canetti, The Human Province).

Finally he stops to buy a newspaper and walks to a nearby apartment. When he steps inside, we are transported into the cluttered, private world of Canetti’s Auto-da-fé protagonist, sinology expert Professor Peter Stein, a character who can communicate in ancient languages but has difficulty with contemporary interactions. We see him alone with his private thoughts and tasks, haunted by unseen voices. We see him tear off the day’s date from a wall calendar, peruse his mail, prepare an omelet and listen to the evening news while folding his laundry. From the reality of the stage we have been transported into a film and our sense of reality has been disturbed. This is heightened, when in a remarkable moment, the string quartet is suddenly there in the apartment, playing Ravel, among the professor’s library.

Goebbels never forgets the logic of the stage and in incorporating the use of live video, he weaves the 2 realities of stage and film so that the mediums support and enhance one another. “I was very clear in advance that the use of video had to be a structural decision, which paid attention to the laws and priorities of the medium itself”, he explains. Shot by award winning Belgian film maker Bruno Deville, Goebbels sees the purpose of the live video as “providing 2 perspectives which are difficult to show in the theatre: the reality of the outside world on one hand and a very intimate, isolated private perspective on the other. We cannot pretend to be able to reconstruct something like these on a stage. We reach the limits of representative theatre when we try to achieve that.”

Early critical response to Eraritjaritjaka has been positive, describing it as “genius”, “where nothing is predictable but nevertheless, all entirely convincing.” Recently awarded the Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh International Festival, the piece has tour dates until late 2005 and will appear next in Berlin, Zurich and The Hague in November. Audience response in particular has pleased Goebbels: “I didn’t know how our construction of the piece would work: the serious beginning, the 20th century string quartet music, the high importance of the live video and the absence of the main character in the second part. But it seems that especially the second part seems to draw audience attention more than I dared to hope. It’s nice to be able to surprise an audience.”

      They should be on the V12 thread, iirc. First post.

  10. I have got to give props to whoever made the character sprites so animated. All the different poses they have really make them stand out. It's leagues above most other fangames (and honestly, the official games) to have characters with like half a dozen different sprites and animations that they'll go through in a single cutscene. Bravo.
  11. I just casually checked up on the status of all my favourite fangames and saw this got an update. It's like my birthday and Christmas rolled into one. Anyways, less talking and more playing.
  12. Level 100 is enough. I want the endgame to revolve around building better teams and playing smarter, not just getting more levels because the enemies have more levels. I was excited to finally hit level 100 but if it ends up just being a fake out and there's still another 10, 20, 30, or 100 levels to grind through in order to catch up to every NPC I have to deal with, that would be a huge disappointment.
  13. There's some pretty spicy stuff on this artist's page. I didn't know we were into that.

At a wine merchant's, the regular taster died and the director started looking for a new one to hire.

A drunkard with a ragged, dirty look came in to apply for the position. he director of the factory wondered how to send him away. He gave him a glass to drink.

The drunk tried it and said:"It's a Muscat , three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers. Low grade, but acceptable."

"That's correct", said the boss.

Another glass....

"It's a cabernet, eight years old, a south-western slope, oak barrels, matured at 8 degrees. Requires three more years for finest results."

A third glass...

''It's a pinot blanc champagne, high grade and exclusive,'' calmly said the drunk.

The director was astonished.

He winked at his secretary, secretly suggesting something. She left the room, and came back in with a glass of urine. The alcoholic tried it.

"It's a blonde, 26 years old, three months pregnant; and if you don't give me the job, I'll name the father."

Hi Nev,

Is that because of all of the engine weigh aft or the small rudder?

Good view out of the cockpit!

A rotating body will want to align with the centre of mass of the object. The mass at the extremities makes the forces higher and the position (High up the tail) will push the tail down and the nose up. The best set up is with as much mass as possible near the centre of gravity to avoid undesirable inertia and centrifugal effects.

That's about 4 years ago. OME. A lot of people want "Perfect" Planes. It's nice to have a safe nice to control plane. Pilot love them.. Desk top models are decorations. that Airline managing types (the wrong ones) invariably have on a shelf in the background painted in company colours. .

It's confusing CB. There are two threads, one carried forward from the original 'old' site, and one started after one of the server moves, when it was thought the first one was lost.

In this article, we shall focus on the Chinese cyber security national system, formally known as the “Golden Shield Project” and frequently dubbed “the Great Firewall” (“The Great Firewall of China: Background”, Torfox, a Stanford Project, June 1, 2011). Previously, we saw how China promotes a mammoth digital development and is becoming, as a result, a “digital nation”, indeed the “Middle Kingdom of the Cyberspace” (Jean-Michel Valantin , The Red Team Analysis Society, June 26, 2017).

While rapidly developing the access of its citizens, companies and public services to the internet – in 2016, 710 million Chinese people were internet users (against a worldwide total of 3.6 billion, i.e 19.72% of the world internet users are Chinese) – and actively supporting the development of the “digital sinosphere”, Beijing also works at securing the country’s cyberspace (Simon Alexander, “The Rise of the Sinosphere and the Digital Silk Road”, DCX. Technology, February 2, 2017).

Xi Jinping (2017-07-07)

As China becomes the “Middle Kingdom of Cyberspace”, its political and economic authorities develop and expand a vast cyber security system, “the Golden Shield Project”, also named the “Great Firewall” after the “Great Wall”, which was built to defend China against invaders. The Golden Shield Project is aimed at securing the development of the Chinese society and its economy, while exerting an active surveillance on the contents and ideas circulating within the Chinese part of the Internet.

Here, we shall see how and why this national cyber security system is developed, focusing upon its underlying strategic philosophy, in order to understand its political meaning from a Chinese point of view.

The Golden Shield Project and the Chinese Nation

In order to respond to the challenges of cyber security on a Chinese scale, the Golden Shield Project is dedicated to preventing and blocking multiple kinds of cyber attacks, as well as potential cyber threats, against state organs, companies, infrastructures, and civil and military organizations (“China’s internet: the great firewall: the art of concealment”, The Economist, April 6th 2013.).

As a “digital nation”, China, the Chinese people, institutions and companies are highly exposed to cyber attacks, as shows the staggering 969% growth of their number between 2014 and 2016 (“Chinese See Almost 1000 Percent Increase in Cyber Attacks”, Reuters, Nov 29, 2016). This impressive number means that, for example, during the first semester 2016, 37% of the Chinese Internet users have suffered economic loss because of diverse kinds of Internet attacks and fraud. In 2016, the total financial loss resulting from these cyber attacks reached 91.5 billion Renminbi, i.e. almost 13 billion USD (“Cyber security in China”, KPMG China, August 2016).

Shanghai Stock Exchange Building at Pudong

This proliferation of cyber attacks may be linked to the higher degree of connectivity between people as well as between electronic devices known by the Chinese society. Connectivity between electronic devices creates the famous “internet of things” through an exponential number of interactions, and thus potential vulnerabilities, which attract attacks. Hence, in 2016, the National People’s Committee issued the second review of the Cyber Security Law: cyber security became a national security issue in order to provide higher cyber security requirements for public services, companies and internet providers (KPMG, ibid).

This securization is known as the “Golden Shield Project”, a.k.a the “Great Fire Wall”, which political and strategic meaning largely includes and transcends the issue of “state censorship”, even if the latter is also a very important issue (Sherisse Pam, “China fortifies great firewall with crackdown on VPNs”, CNN Tech, January 24, 2017).

Numerous commentators focus their attention quasi exclusively on the way this system is a means to censor the spread of democratic ideas in China and to orient the national political debate in favour of government positions (“The Great Firewall of China”, Open Democracy, 15 March 2013). However,  it should also  definitely not be forgotten that the digital development of China also entails a need for cyber security, as for any country and society. Securing the digital dimension of China thus appears of the utmost importance in order to protect the economic development of China, and the enrichment of its people,Crowd in HK which are at the core of the current form of social contract between the Chinese political authorities and the Chinese society (Loretta Napoleoni, Maonomics, Why Chinese Communists Make Better Capitalists Than We Do?, 2011).

The “Golden Shield Project” is a national cyber security system of unparalleled scope and depth (Open Democracy, ibid). It blocks or authorizes, partly or fully, the access to and of contents and IP addresses, which are deemed threatening for China by the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Security, the Ministry of Industry, the China Banking Regulation Commission, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Payment and Clearing Association of China. These different administrations are coordinating the different “segments” of the “Great Firewall”, which includes them all into a national system of cyber security systems (KPMG, ibid).

The philosophy of the Golden Shield Project is rooted in Chinese strategic thinking and political history, dominated by the definition of China needing to protect itself from the outside, especially from Central Asian invaders, while being able to build the relations and trade it needs to develop itself. This philosophy has first inspired the building of the Great Wall, which was meant to protect China from outside threats. The Golden Shield Project a.k.a Great Firewall is meant to ensure the protection of the “cybernation” that China is currently becoming from cyber aggressors. As a matter of fact, as a digital nation, China needs a form of protection, for its citizens, economy, infrastructures, companies, and its political project. Thus, the political authorities try to protect the Chinese nation not “simply” from external influences, but also from external disruptions, knowing that the effects of such occurrences can have extremely violent consequences in China, as the “Middle Kingdom” repeatedly experienced throughout its very long history.

We shall recall, for example, the repeated and sometimes devastating invasions, especially from the nomadic tribes of Central Asia, such as the 12th and 13th centuries Mongol invasions, including those led by Genghis Khan. More recently, since the middle of the 19th century, the political, military, economic and ideological threats and causes of chaos, invasion, war, civil war, and revolution, came in great parts from the outside world (John King Fairbank, The Great Chinese Revolution, 1800-1985, 1987).

From the Great Wall to the Great Cyber Shield

In this regard, the name “Golden Shield” given to the Chinese national cyber security service is not a superlative metaphor, but is, in fact, an extension of the concept of defence and protection from an attack against the national territory. In this regard, it may be seen, indeed, even though the name would have been originally coined in a 1997 Wired article, as an extension of the Great Wall and of its political and strategic philosophy in the cyber space.

The Great Wall has been a long work in progress, which started during the Warring States period, i.e. from the 5th to the 2nd century BC. Then, the different warring Chinese states started to build fortifications alongside their frontiers, in order to protect themselves from each other, and from the nomadic peoples of the central steppes. After the unification of the country by the Qin ruler, the First Emperor, these multiple fortifications were integrated into a series of great fortifications built to keep the nomads out of China (Jacques Gernet, Le Monde Chinois, 2005).

Map of the Great Wall of China

Through the same process, this system of fortifications, while being used to watch upon the outside of China, was also extended to parts of the Central Asian steppe. This was done in order to protect the network of roads going from China to Europe, the Silk Roads (Gernet, Ibid). This network was used by merchants and armies from the 1st century BC to the 16th century and was the main support of exchange between Europe, China and India for centuries (Peter Frankopan, The Silk Roads, a new history of the world, 2015). It was so important to the Chinese political authorities that, during centuries, they deployed a strategic system using the Great Wall to protect both China and its “useful exterior”.

The strategic and philosophical meaning of the Golden Shield Project

This means, that, at a deeper level, the idea underlying the Great Wall influences the thought behind the Golden Shield Project. The Golden Shield can be seen as a new version of the Great Wall, adapted to the 21st century. It is created through the constitution of the material and cyber “envelope” necessary for both the protection and development of China. This novel surrounding fortification is meant to isolate China from the outside, while also allowing for interactions with its abroad in the safest possible way, exactly as the Great Wall both not only protected from invasion but also facilitated safe exchanges through the Silk Roads.

CHINA (15586593344)

The Golden Shield Project is thus somehow the continuity of the multi-millennial construction of the Great Wall, and both are a manifestation of the defence and security mission of the Chinese state. Thus, thanks to this national cyber protection system, added to the New Silk Road, China install itself “in the middle of the world”, not only from a geographical perspective, but also from a cyber space’s point of view, while maintaining its singularity.

In other words, protecting China also means developing it, while centring China in the heart of the global world of the 21st century, especially through the “New Silk Road / One Belt One Road” grand strategy (Jean-Michel Valantin, “ “The “One Belt, One Road” Summit and the Chinese Shaping of the Globalization?”, The Red (Team) Analysis Society, June 5, 2017).

All-Canadian cast to star in ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ in Toronto

TORONTO — Canadians will be able to buy tickets to see a homegrown cast of witches and wizards in “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” this spring.

Mirvish Productions says the box office for the Tony Award-winning play at Toronto’s Ed Mirvish Theatre will open on April 4.

The theatre company says an all-Canadian cast of 39 actors will star in the stage spinoff set 19 years after the last instalment in J.K. Rowling’s beloved book series.

Vancouver-born, London-based Trevor White headlines as a grown-up Harry Potter, while his wife Ginny is played by Trish Lindstrom, Mirvish’s “Once” in 2015.

Recent Ryerson Theatre School graduate Luke Kimball plays the Potters’ son, Albus, as he heads off to their alma mater, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Other Hogwarts alumni set to return include Stratford Festival star Sarah Afful as Hermione Granger, Gregory Prest as Ron Weasley and Brad Hodder as Draco Malfoy.

Fiona Reid and Sara Farb, who starred in the show’s Broadway production, will respectively join the Toronto cast as Professor McGonagall and Delphi Diggory.

Mirvish says the first block of tickets will be for performances from Oct. 23, 2020 through May 30, 2021.

The play is told in two parts, and tickets for each begin at $69, according to Mirvish.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 11, 2020.

Jeremy Hardy thinks… about voting

'The thing that surprises me is not that Westminster politics are found to be boring, but rather that so many journalists find them so interesting'

December 19, 2013 · 2 min read

It’s no surprise that it was a comedian, Russell Brand, who, rather magnificently, kicked off a discussion about voting. Some of the best-informed, most passionate thinkers are comedians. The thing that surprises me is not that Westminster politics are found to be boring, but rather that so many journalists find them so interesting. But that doesn’t mean parliament is irrelevant. It’s there to be used, like the courts, the media, the internet and the streets.

I doubt that any of the excitement about the more radical musings of Ed Miliband is justified. But I would still like to see him in Downing Street, if only to see the back of the current occupant. I will probably vote Green, or for Left Unity if they stand. I’m in a safe Labour seat, so there’s no risk of my putting a Tory or Lib Dem in. It’s a luxury, I know.

I think the election of a Labour government would give encouragement to genuine radicals, or at least not inhibit them. It won’t be 1997. Labour can only scrape in, with no euphoria and no blind faith in magical electability. Voting for a party doesn’t mean you have to cheer them on while they do things you were condemning a few months earlier, as New Labour’s craven supporters did until they were forced to concede that the chaos and slaughter their leader brought to Iraq was perhaps a step too far.

But if you don’t want to vote, fine; do something else. We need nonviolent direct action. We also need riots. We need lawyers, loud-mouths and dull academics. We need writers, artists, goths and vandals. We need boycotts, strikes and political theatre, however bad. We need reformists and revolutionaries. We need socialists, greens, anarchists, comedians, atheists, theists, poets and statisticians. And if you want a spiritual awakening, have one.

In and against, and outside, the party

Following major defeats, the left on both sides of the Atlantic must urgently get stuck into community organising, movement building and political education, argues Joe Guinan

The downfall of Robin Hood Energy

The sale of Robin Hood Energy doesn’t mean public ownership doesn’t work, but that we need to be more ambitious, argues Edward Dingwall

Keir Hardie Trafalgar Square

What’s wrong with the Labour Party?

The role Labour plays in maintaining the capitalist state makes it a crucial site for socialists to organise within, argues Luke Evans

Back up Your Champion, Not Just Your Database

Many organizations today utilize a software program such as a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) to help control important aspects of their business. It’s no surprise that information technology (IT) departments encourage backing up these critical databases, as this protects data and allows for continued operation of the programs. However, fewer companies encourage cross-training multiple users with full administrative access of these programs. The process of “backing up” your champions is equally as important as backing up your database.

Levels of Software Users

If your organization is running software programs that are in any way related to finance, historical records or feature-rich data, it’s likely your IT department mandates the backing up of those databases. This process protects the integrity of the data and will enable continued and viable operation of the program over many years. Having a backup ensures your data is safe in the event of a hardware failure, fire, earthquake, flood, data breach, corruption due to power outages and other potential incidents.

Many software programs provide various levels of access or permissions for users, including the most comprehensive access commonly referred to as “champion” or administrator user status. While organizations may provide software training for multiple employees, typically only one or two employees are selected for comprehensive champion training.

Employee Circumstances Affect Operation

Champions are critical links in the organization. They have control and institutional knowledge of how the software functions. However, it’s the job of the champion’s manager to ensure critical links aren’t broken in the face of changing circumstances, such as someone calls in sick, technology fails, there is a temporary reduction in workforce, etc. Expected or unexpected, these common circumstances can prevent departments from running critical software, maintaining data appropriately and providing program support.

Importance of Cross-training

Redundant positions within organizations offer some degree of flexibility, but redundancy may not apply to champions. Therefore, departments should increase their flexibility through cross-training. This also enables others to experience new and more challenging work responsibilities. Department managers should allow cross-trained employees the opportunity to fill in while champions go on vacation or take on additional job duties.

Insist your champion record his or her basic job responsibilities in addition to each of those responsibilities typically in the “all other duties as assigned” category. Ensure the champion be granular in these writings, providing important details. Doing so will provide not only a detailed roadmap for others to follow in order to keep the organization running efficiently but also an opportunity for those hoping to gain knowledge or advance their careers.

As a manager, your first order of business is to direct your champions to make themselves dispensable. As a champion, you should ensure one person on staff is fully capable of performing your job responsibilities in total, especially as it applies to software knowledge.

Plan Ahead

During my maintenance career, I have witnessed situations in which organizations failed to back up many critical managers. Higher level managers often overlook early warnings of coming promotions or retirements, and consequently scramble to adapt to these situations. In some cases, this prompts an emergency contact with the software developer for immediate training. In other instances, the original software program may be abandoned altogether while a new program is implemented.

Consequences like these can result in considerable financial expense, as new programs, training and other factors will carry significant costs. This does not include the lost return on investment (ROI) from the abandoned software, all of which could have been avoided by simply backing up your champion.
