Farmers’ markets have figuratively replaced the town square, something we have lost over the last decades due to sprawl and urbanization.

irresponsible. This is not to say that measuring a single issue like carbon emissions as it relates to food production and transportation is not important; it is vitally important. But, there are many more factors at play — some very tangible, some less so — in evaluating the importance of local food. We are literally ... |

Declares a cursor definition. A cursor is declared in accordance with the select-statement or the result set procedure call specified in procedure-call-statement. The select-statement may be specified explicitly in ordinary |
embedded SQL applications or by the name of a prepared select-statement, identified by statement-name, in dynamic SQL statements, see the Mimer SQL Programmer's Manual, chapter 11, Dynamic SQL. The cursor |
is identified by cursor-name, and may be used in FETCH, DELETE CURRENT and UPDATE CURRENT statements. The cursor must be activated with an OPEN statement before it can be used. |
A cursor declared as REOPENABLE may be opened several times in succession, and previous cursor states are saved on a stack, see OPEN. Saved cursor states are restored when the |
current state is closed, see CLOSE. A cursor declared as SCROLL will be a scrollable cursor. For a scrollable cursor, records can be fetched using an orientation specification. See the |
description of FETCH for a description of how the orientation can be specified. A cursor will be non-scrollable if NO SCROLL is explicitly specified. The cursor will be non-scrollable and |
not reopenable by default. select-statement, see SELECT Statements. procedure-call-statement, see CALL. If an execute-statement-command is used, the precompiled statement must be a select or a result-set procedure. If a procedure-call-statement |
is specified, it must specify a result set procedure. The following restrictions apply to procedural usage: - The cursor cannot be declared as REOPENABLE - The select-statement cannot be in |
the form of a prepared dynamic SQL statement, i.e. specifying statement-name is not allowed - If the cursor declaration contains a select statement, the access-clause for the procedure must be |
READS SQL DATA or MODIFIES SQL DATA, see CREATE PROCEDURE. The DECLARE CURSOR statement is declarative, not executable. In an embedded usage context, access rights for the current ident are |
checked when the cursor is opened, not when it is declared. In a procedural usage context, access rights for the current ident are checked when the cursor is declared, i.e. |
when the procedure containing the declaration is created. The value of cursor-name may not be the same as the name of any other cursor declared within the same compound statement |
(Procedural usage) or in the same compilation unit (Embedded usage). The select-statement is evaluated when the cursor is opened, not when it is declared. This applies both to select-statement's identified |
by statement name, and to host variable references used anywhere in the select statement. The execution of the result set procedure specified in a CALL statement is controlled by the |
opening of the cursor and subsequent fetches, see the Mimer SQL Programmer's Manual, chapter 12, Result Set Procedures. REOPENABLE cannot be used if evaluation of select-statement uses a work table, |
or if the cursor declaration occurs within a procedure. If the declared cursor is a dynamic cursor, the DECLARE statement must be placed before the PREPARE statement. A reopenable cursor |
can be used to solve the 'Parts explosion' problem. Refer to the Mimer SQL Programmer's Manual, chapter 8, The 'Parts explosion' Problem for a description. ExampleDECLARE cur1 CURSOR FOR EXECUTE |

The earliest of the maps was drawn by Thomas Kitchen for the Reverend Dr. Robertson's History of America and is titled 'Mexico or New Spain in Which the Motion of Cortes May be Traced." Another of the early maps appears as the frontispiece in Henderson Yoakum's History of Texas, and |
shows rivers, location of Indian tribes, Indian Villages, missions, crossings, roads with dates of origin, presidios and trails. Texas is listed as "New Phillipines." There is a set of military maps of the Texas Revolution, which accompanies Andrew Jackson Houston's Texas Independence. The U. S. War Department's map by... |
H. Emory is titled 'Map of Texas and the Countries Adjacent,' dated 1844, prior to annexation. The Walker map of 1949 and the Marcy maps of 1850 and 1853 show additions to knowledge of Indian tribes, fortifications, wagon routes, rivers and numerous notes on topography. In 1857-60, the United State |
Department of the Interior, J. H. Clark, Commissioner, produced the 'Map of the United States and Texas-Boundary Line and Adjacent Territory Determined and Surveyed.' The 'New Map of Texas as it is in 1874,' was prepared "expressly for Morphis' History of Texas." Robert T. Hill produced the 'Map of Texas |
and Parts of Adjoining Territories' for the U. S. Geological Survey in 1899. Many of the map descriptions are found in Day's Maps of Texas 1527-1900: The Map Collection of the Texas State Archives, Austin, 1964. |

Phlebitis is the term for the swelling of a vein, most often in one’s leg. Thrombophlebitis is the term for inflammation of a vein caused by a blood clot. The term is often shortened to phlebitis. The condition is easily treatable, though it sometimes leads to more serious health concerns. There are two kinds of phlebi... |
and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). When the clot is embedded into a deep vein, thrombophlebitis can become much more serious. The condition, appropriately named deep vein thrombosis , can cause blood clots in the lungs ( pulmonary embolism ), heart attack , and stroke . Phlebitis is often caused by: - Prolonged bed rest... |

Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some |
breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years. Dragons don’t communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely |
high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures. Dark green dragons, once they mature, appear to become an entirely different species. However, this isn’t true. Rather, they burrow underground and get nutrients from their vines. These vine... |
sometimes referred to as Dragon Grass. These dragons are very violent, and will use their vines to capture, kill, and eat anything that moves, as well as nearby plants. Luckily, their range is limited and they cannot use magic. Dark green dragons tend to be easy to spot since they |
This project is a result of Cambridge University Library being presented with a unique opportunity of rescuing from a bank vault in Paris a collection of precious medieval Hebrew and Arabic documents from the Cairo Genizah. The aging family who owns it is anxious to make institutional arrangements in the |
near future and if this does not prove possible will simply sell it off (or give it away) as individual items to collectors without any concern for accessibility. In the past hundred years, the documents found in the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Cairo, Egypt, have revolutionised the study of most |
aspects of medieval Jewish culture in the Mediterranean area. Some 200,000 items (comprising almost a million leaves), held in various libraries around the world, have not only made possible the reconstruction of many of the best-known Hebrew, Aramaic and Judeo-Arabic works of the 10-13th centuries but have also brough... |
