India's unmanned spacecraft, called Mangalyaan, or "Mars craft" in Hindi, blasted off on Tuesday to begin its 10-month journey to Mars.
Once in orbit around the Red Planet, the satellite's mission is to investigate the loss of water on Mars, explore sources of methane gas and gather information on two of Mars' moons, Phobos and Deimos.
"The biggest challenge will be precisely navigating the space craft to Mars," K. Radhakrishnan, chairman of the Indian Space and Research Organization, told the Associated Press.
If Mangalyaan makes it as scheduled in September 2014, India will become the first Asian country to successfully send a mission to Mars, joining an elite club of nations.
According to India Today, all 21 successful Mars missions have been conducted by just three space powers — the United States' NASA, the European Space Agency and the Russian Federal Space Agency. (Thirty missions to Mars have failed to reach their destination.)
Both China in 2011 and Japan in 2003 tried and failed to send a mission to Mars. China's space agency has said it will not attempt another go at Mars until at least 2016.

GPT Group has paid $34 million for a farm in Melbourne’s west, with plans for a state-of-the-art industrial estate.
The deal for the 32.7 hectare site, 865 Boundary Road, Truganina, was brokered by Lemon Baxter’s Craig Rowe and Paul Sullivan.
The landlord will soon launch a marketing campaign to find tenants for the proposed business park.
GPT announced its intention to buy the industrial zoned block in February as part of a $192.3m spending spree which also saw it pick up a 23,000 sqm distribution centre investment in the suburb and warehouse sites at Sydney’s Kemps Creek and Glendenning.
Sydney’s biggest institutions are camped at Truganina
Elsewhere in Truganina, GPT is developing a 23ha parcel as Gateway Logistics Hub – recently committing Godfrey Hirst and Petstock to a 26,488 sqm facility being the first stage of that project.
In May we reported Charter Hall found occupiers for about 145,000 sqm of its 60ha Midwest industrial estate after half a year of marketing (story continues below).
Five months ago CEVA Logistics agreed to tenant a 37,307 sqm distribution centre at Frasers Property Industrial’s West Park Industrial Estate.
With that lease, the landlord filled its 310ha business park after 16 years of spruiking.
Last November Stockland, which like Charter Hall and GPT is headquartered in Sydney, announced a $2 billion industrial estate – the biggest in Melbourne’s west – was earmarked for a 260ha Truganina site.
To be known as Melbourne Business Park, that project will be constructed with joint venture partner Mount Atkinson Holdings.
Eleven months ago Time & Place, which is based in Melbourne, like FPI, paid Incore Developments $28.6m for a 16.7ha block at 151 Leakes Rd, in the suburb.
GPT’s new site is 28kms from the city.

In Late Antiquity, a consular diptych was a type of diptych intended as a de-luxe commemorative object. The diptychs were generally in ivory, wood or metal and decorated with rich relief sculpture. Consular diptych of Magnus, who was consul of Constantinople in 518. He sits between figures representing Rome and Constantinople. The simpler examples were probably produced as a series from models prepared in advance, with the more sophisticated (and thus more expensive) diptychs reserved for the inner circle of the Roman aristocracy.

The crux of the argument is that pi is a ratio comparing a circle’s circumference with its diameter, which is not a quantity mathematicians generally care about. In fact, almost every mathematical equation about circles is written in terms of r for radius. Tau is precisely the number that connects a circumference to that quantity.
But usage of pi extends far beyond the geometry of circles. Critical mathematical applications such as Fourier transforms, Riemann zeta functions, Gaussian distributions, roots of unity, integrating over polar coordinates and pretty much anything involving trigonometry employs pi. And throughout these diverse mathematical areas the constant π is preceded by the number 2 more often than not. Tauists (yes, they call themselves tauists) have compiled exhaustively long lists of equations—both common and esoteric, in both mathematics and physics—with 2π holding a central place. If 2π is the perennial theme, the almost magically recurring number across myriad branches of mathematics, shouldn’t that be the fundamental constant we name and celebrate?

Another grab from Noble Records from the sell of the big metal collection he picked up from a former record store owner was another Def Leppard release. This time around I found a 12″ Promotional Single for the songs “Bringin’ On the Heartbreak (Remix)” and “Me & My Wine (Remix)”. After the success of ‘Pyromania’, it was decided to do a re-release of the prior album ‘High ‘N Dry’. For that to be successful, they added two new songs…okay one new one and one remix of another song on the album. Both were mixed by Robert John “Mutt” Lange himself. The album was rereleased on May 31, 1984.
The band sent out this Promotion Single with only those two new songs and they actually did videos with for the songs as well. Now, Phil Collens was in the band now and not Pete Willis who played on both these songs so the videos have Phil not Pete which is strange.
This promo is a U.S. release just prior to the album re-release and sent out in hopes of pushing that album. I remember the videos popping up on MTV and I loved it. It was already my favorite Def Leppard album and I was fine and dandy with picking up another copy of the album with the two new tracks. Since these are remixes, let’s talk a little about the songs.Continue reading “Def Leppard – Bringin’ on the Heartbreak (Remix) – 12″ Promotional Copy”

Lafayette County Master Gardeners: “April Landscape Checklist”
Consider a home consult if you have questions, problem areas, or want to try something new. Master Gardeners can be reached by leaving a message at the MSU Extension Office 662-234-4451. A home consultant specialist will contact you to schedule a visit or answer questions. For consultations, a team of Master Gardeners will come to your property and assist you by answering questions and suggesting plant material. Following the consultation, you will receive a written report from your LCMGA Team. There is no charge to the property owner for this service.
- Set out most shrubs and trees.
- April is a great time to divide summer perennials. Dividing the flowers helps keep your flowerbeds tidy and prevents them from getting overcrowded. Not sure how to divide perennials? We have a blog post that might come in handy. You can plant the divided perennials into another area of the landscape or gift them to others. Divide violets, Shasta daisies, liriope, ajuga, mums, and other perennials.You can start planting colorful summer annuals. The options at the garden store this time of year can be overwhelming. Take time to plan where you want to plant annuals and be sure to take note of how much sunlight the area gets. That will make your trip to purchase plants less stressful. Extension Publication 1826, “Annuals & Perennial Flowers for Mississippi Gardens,” gives you a list of proven winners to plant.
- Lawns may be sodded at this time.
- Plant Gladiolus throughout this month for continuous bloom.
- Caladiums can be started in outdoor containers as soon as weather warms.
- Plant Hostas.
- Plant okra, melons, peas, corn, beans, eggplant, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
- Plant summer/fall blooming bulbs: callas, cannas, dahlias, gladiolus, and gloriosa lilies.
- Consider planting milkweed to bring all the butterflies to your yard! Monarch butterflies enjoy this plant, and there are several other native plants you can add to your landscape to attract these beautiful creatures. Check them all out here in this factsheet.
- Fertilize vegetables when planting according to recommendations.
- Fertilize shrubs if not done in March.
- Top-dress Camellias with azalea-camellia fertilizer.
- Lime Peonies, Clematis, and Boxwoods.
- Spray new rose leaves for black spot weekly.
- Prune azaleas and other spring-flowering shrubs after blooming. Sadly, the cold snap shortened or eliminated blooms of azaleas and camellias in my yard. Once the azaleas finish blooming, prune them back to encourage growth for next year. Now is also a great time to purchase azaleas to plant in your yard.
- Lightly shape any formal hedges to remove new growth.
- Paint and repair garden furniture and other hardscapes (bird baths, bird houses, mailbox, deck).
- There are many benefits to mulching the base of plants, like helping the soil hold moisture, regulating soil temperatures, and controlling weeds. Apply 2-3 inches of mulch to the base of plants. Check out, “Mulches for the Landscape,” (Publication 2301) for more information on the different types of mulches to use.
- Always mulch new plantings to help ensure success.
- Encore azaleas, blueberries, fringe trees, blackberries, pyracanthas, hawthorns, pittosporums, Japanese snowballs, pieris, cliftonia, ginkgos, deutzia, sweetshrubs, sweetspires, cotoneasters, oakleaf hydrangeas, roses, spiraea, rhododendrons, and ninebarks.
- Ajuga, alyssum, bleeding-hearts, candytufts, columbines, daffodils, daisies, daylilies, forget-me-nots, grass pinks, irises, Jacob’s ladder, lilies-of-the-valley, pansies, phlox, primroses, ranunculus, shooting stars, sweet Williams, thrifts, tulips, vincas, violets.
- Maples, leatherleaf mahonias, chinese hollies, nandinas, (blueberries in South Mississippi).
The Lafayette County Master Gardener Association (LCMGA) is pleased to welcome the public to their Annual Spring Lecture Series which will be held in the Dotsy A. Fitts Auditorium of the Public Library on 401 Bramlett Boulevard. Parking is available at the library or across the street at the Oxford Skate Park. Our next speaker will be Jeff McManus, Director of Landscape Services at the University of Mississippi who will provide a lecture on “Pruning like a Pro” on May 11, 2023 at noon. This talk will help gardeners answer questions about pruning. What to prune? When to prune? Where to prune? Do I even need to prune? For more information or questions follow LCGMA on Instagram or Facebook, visit our website at http://www.lcmga.org/ or call the MSU Extension office at 662-234-4451.

I'm from Montreal, Canada, and I will be in France for the Christmas vacation. I was wandering if there was special things that I must see during that time of the year? Me and my boyfriend are starting to plan 2 short vacations of 3-4 days anywhere cheap with things to see. I if possible we would try to avoid very rainy places, but cold we are used to! I would love to have your suggestions and comments about past experiences
Western Europe around Christmas time is mixed. Usually you have temps around freezing point or slightly above during the day. Some rain does come down, but it is not the season for huge downpours. White Christmas is possible but unusual.
For Christmas in Europe you essentially have two choices: See the cities and spend a lot of time indoors in museums or go up into the mountains and ski.
Christmas in Germany is very beautiful and romantic. There are Christmas Markets in every city and the streets are beautifully decorated with lights, boughs, trees, etc. They sell beautiful clothing, crafts, delicious food, jewelery and sundry other items. You must try gluewein, a hot malt wine that comes in a mug you get to keep. A great souvenier. One place especially quaint is Rotenberg ob der Tauber, one of my favorites. It is a charming village surrounded by a castle wall. The Christmas store has amazing handcrafted decorations. If not to stay for a few days, it would make a good day trip, if you can fit it in. The larger cities, though exciting, would be more expensive, but Germany is a worthwhile thought around Christmastime. It snowed while I was there . . . Boy did it snow!
I was in the Austrian Tyrol for Christmas awhile ago. I stayed in a village called Kirchdorf. It was just wonderful and so pretty. The hotels are incredibly clean and the food was fantastic. In the evening there were sleighrides and choirs singing in the town square. Turkey and hot wine on Christmas day followed by street pantomimes in the snow. Get a flight to either Innsbruck or Salzburg, many budget airlines fly there from Central Europe for around €60 one way mid-week, then its about two to three hours by bus from either airport. Kitzbuhel is closeby too. Probably the finest ski slopes in the world.
Thank you everyone for you suggestions! We will probably go to Strasbourg,Fr, just before Christmas for the market and the spirits. but after Christmas, we will probably head more south ( Spain, south of France or Italy) because I have already known 25 white Christmas, it would be a bit different for me to have a 10 degree than go skiing in the snow.
Don't be shy to send me other suggestions, I'm really opened minded and plans are always made to be changed!
If you want 10 C and warmer your best chances in Continental Europe are Andalusia, Spain and Sicily, Italy. There even 15 C and sunshine are possible at this time, although 10 C and a torrent of rain is far more likely.
The Canary Islands and Madeira are another option, but these are typical package tourist resort destinations. (Think Cancun, Mexico.)
Hmm, what else? Well, there is Turkey. Weather in Turkey will be similar to weather in Spain or Sicily, temps around 15 C and frequent rain. The good news: During the winter months there are special discounted package tours to Turkey. (Curtesy of the Turkish Tourism Authorities who rather not pay any unemployment benefits to hotel staff.) Usually these trips are for one week to a resort near Antalya, and with a 2-day trip to Pamukkale. Flights are leaving from many airports around Germany and neighboring countries, price is between 100-200 EUR per person. That is a really good deal because usually the flights to Turkey alone are around 150-200 EUR. You can book these package tours through almost any travel agency in Germany or in the country you want to leave from.
Further south: If you'd like Christmas at the beach look at Morocco or Egypt.
You can probably fly into Sevilla or Jerez de la Frontera, and make your way to Cadiz. The weather there is likely to be nice, at least during the days. If you would be tempted to go to Granada, you have to know that it will be colder there, but you could go skiing in the Sierra Nevada.

The first step for developing the infographic was to write the content. I compiled review articles and other important publications and highlighted important areas that I wanted to cover in the infographic. I then wrote content based on my reference articles and sent it to be proof-read by a science colleague.
I wanted the infographic to feature a main background image with secondary smaller figures throughout. The main imagery is a flow of erythrocytes — the gentle curves and movement of the cells helps guides the reader across the page.
Cinema 4D was used to create the imagery in this infographic. As this was a new software for me, I dedicated upwards of 14 hours in learning the program and 20 hours actually designing the 3D models (and adjusting colour, texture, lighting, etc.)
In addition to the main blood cell imagery, supplementary models for sickle hemoglobin polymers, the ring form of Plasmodium falciparum, and the CRISPR-Cas9 complex were created with Cinema 4D. The ePMV plug-in was used to create atomically accurate protein structures of sickle hemoglobin and Cas9.
Many iterations were created for the main imagery. I had initially planned to have the blood cells within a blood vessel, but ultimately I felt that having a solid background would allow for greater contrast and readability of the infographic text.
I also struggled with getting the lighting and colour just right — I could spend hours fiddling with these settings!
The final infographic effectively showcases different aspects of sickle cell anemia with a visually appealing main image of blood cells that guide the viewer across the page.
I was also successful in teaching myself a brand new software on my own.PDF version available here

The most notorious of all live music entertainment is, of course, Woodstock. There have been other live music entertainment venues that were held with not quite so many attendees but with the same sort of peaceful theme and atmosphere as the Woodstock festival such as the Monterey Pop festival which was held two years prior to Woodstock. There are some similarities between both Woodstock and other entertainment venues. Live music entertainment is a great way for people to come together with a common interest because they provide an outlet for hippies and people of all ages. The Monterey music festival was held in 1967 at the Monterey Fairground in California. Over two hundred thousand guests attended the event.
The Monterey music festival featured big hits like the Mamas and Papas, Country Joe and the Fish, and Jefferson Airplane just to name a few. Only one performer was paid to perform and the proceeds from the live music entertainment were donated to charity. The Monterey music festival was a ground breaking phenomenon that may have given birth to other gatherings.
But sadly, here was no second annual Monterey Pop experience The Woodstock music festival held in Bethel, NY is one of the more famous venues that have occurred in America. Woodstock promoted peace, love, and happiness with 3 days of music on a 600 acre track of dairy farm land. Originally the live music entertainment was going to have ticket booths to charge admission for the concert, but they did not get put up in time before people started their pilgrimage to the event. Over five hundred thousand people attended with only two deaths occurring and 2 births occurring as well. Many bands performed such as, The Band, CCR, Grateful Dead, Canned Heat, Melanie, Santana, and The Who. The 600 acre farm took five days to clean up but many people stayed to clean up after the festival.
In recent years there have been several reunions of the Woodstock festival. In 1994 there was a huge Woodstock reunion called Woodstock 94. It was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the original Woodstock festival and their logo stated it was 2 more days of peace and love. Many bands performed including Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, and Live. There were only seven bands that performed at both the original Woodstock festival and the Woodstock 1994 reunion.
A few of those bands were Santana, The Band, and Joe Cocker. Woodstock 1994 was later dubbed Mudstock due to a massive rainstorm during the concert. Like the original Woodstock, people helped others by giving food and sharing.

With growth, every city changes, and Chico has too. What I am so disappointed with is the way Chico is growing. Increased crime, trashy streets, locals afraid to go out after dark (maybe because of the daily reports of robberies, rapes, shootings and stabbings?), and students' parties taking precedence over rights of longtime homeowners.
Prison realignment through AB 109 is putting more criminals on our streets, and our City Council is taking cops off the streets. Anyone should be able to see that Chico has become fair game for crime and antisocial behavior. We need a City Council that's willing to step up to the plate and give the cops the power to mitigate nuisances and take back our town. Put enough cops on the street so that citizens aren't afraid to go out, and cops aren't in more danger than they already are just wearing a uniform. Chico PD can do the job if the council would stop tying their hands.
Chico will never be what it used to be, but we don't have to let it turn into a Vallejo or Salinas either. Vote in November, and vote for some guys that will get the job done. Toby Schindelbeck and Sean Morgan have my vote. I hope they get yours.

A rightwing Christian pastor and radio show host said that the Bible requires Christians to own semi-automatic rifles, and that Christians who don’t have one have “denied the Christian faith” and are “worse than a heathen.”
Pastor Chuck Baldwin, who hosts the radio show Chuck Baldwin Live and writes a syndicated column, appeared on Sheila Zilinsky’s podcast to discuss guns.
Baldwin read from the First Epistle to Timothy to support his point. He quoted 1 Timothy 5:8, which is a sentence in the middle of a longer section about how Christians are supposed to treat widows and elders:
Get the Daily Brief
The news you care about, reported on by the people who care about you:
Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
Matthew Henry, in his classic Exposition of the Old and New Testaments, says the passage means: “If any men or women do not maintain their poor [relatives], they in effect deny the faith.”
But Baldwin said that this passage means something other than what it very obviously means. Instead of being about providing food and other necessities for poor relatives, it shows “a duty to provide for your family, but you cannot provide protection for your family without being equipped to do so.”
“Therefore, you must have the means of self-defense,” he said.
Could a Christian get away with just taking a self-defense class? Or maybe just buying a handgun?
No, says the pastor; you need a weapon that can kill as many people as possible, as fast as possible… something that’s a favorite of mass shooters.
“And in our society today, that means a firearm in the similitude of an AR-15,” Baldwin continued. “Without that, you are not in a position, you are not even able to protect not just your family and your house, but your neighbors, your community around you.”
Baldwin didn’t describe what hellish place he lives in where an semi-automatic rifle is necessary for self-defense, where hordes of people are attacking him so often that he needs an AR-15 to legitimately defend himself.
“That is a biblical requirement,” he said.
All those passages about nonviolence, though, are apparently optional.

I hope they ban it, as the world's worst fashion designer does not need yet another advantage over the other drivers.
As to whether they will ban it for this year, the problem is that it is against the spirit of the rules in several ways, but it may not be against the letter of any of them.
The one thing that I hope will be addressed is that, if McLaren's f-duct was banned on 'safety grounds' because they thought it would be unsafe for a driver to raise his arm slightly, this should be banned on safety grounds as well. How can it not increase risk if several times a lap the driver is occupied with pushing in or pulling out the steering wheel at the same time that he is meant to be steering with it?

2. Doesn't break any of the spirit of any rules as there simply are no rules governing this. Completely out of the box thinking.
3. Pilots use yokes all the time and are even inverted in some manuevers. Should be very easy to adapt to in the sim. It is not the same as F duct where drivers were taking hands off the wheel at Eau Rouge at 180 mph or moving their knee over to block a hole. FIA has already stated that it meets every safety grounds
a. Wheel is not considered a moveable aero device. This system is legal on these grounds as any argument you make would ban steering altogether. Having no steering would be really interesting for a racecar. Under the way you are describing, brakes themselves would be moveable aero devices since they change ride heighta) It's a moving device within the sprung mass affecting the aerodynamics of the car by reducing its frontal area.
b) It adjusts the suspension when the car is moving.
Both are not allowed. Merc's argument is not that it does not have these effects, as it obviously does, but rather that they are not its primary functions. Merc might be right in that, although - possibly - it is a question of how one assesses those functions. For example, the overall effects of the system may be 40% to extend tyre life, 30% to reducing straight-line drag, 30% to improve contact patch control. In that sense, legally improving tyre life would be the single biggest function, but would be less than half of the overall function.
This is similar to Murray's fan car. Yes, it was a great idea. After somebody thought of it (or, rather, figured out how to get it through the wording of the rule book), however, would the racing have been better if all the teams adopted the same system?
Re yokes on planes, please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe that yoke rotation is sufficiently sensitive that when flying 'next to' another aircraft a quarter-inch of unintentional rotation for a quarter of a second is going to make much of a difference, whereas in modern F1 cars it can easily cause a crash.
Re the f-duct, I don't recall Hamilton's or Button's complaining that the system was unsafe. The problem was that, although McLaren's original version was always integrated into their approved chassis and functioned well as part of its system, other teams could only cobble together half-assed versions that were not well designed, were not properly integrated in an FIA-approved chassis, and required more awkward movement from their drivers. The erstaz versions might have been unsafe, but there was no evidence that McLaren's was.
You're merely reiterating Mercedes's side of the argument. That's fine but, as in a court room, one should not uncrticially presume that, just because it suits one's prejudice, there is only one side to a story. My original post, to which you first replied, specifically stated:a. Wheel is not considered a moveable aero device. This system is legal on these grounds as any argument you make would ban steering altogether. Having no steering would be really interesting for a racecar. Under the way you are describing, brakes themselves would be moveable aero devices since they change ride height
b. Steering is separate from suspension. There is a clear distinction for engineers and for the regulations between the two. Toe changes anytime steering input is conducted. This just changes it a different way and no distinction is made in the regulations. The distinction IS made in the 2021 regulations by stating which axis of rotation are allowed.
What makes you think that a driver wouldn't be able to steer with this system? You ever play with a messed up sim wheel that wasn't fixed properly? You can still steer even if the column is moving in and out uncontrollably. I would expect this DAS to be setup so that there is resistance to pull it in or out. Can't easily be accidentally engaged. And actually when it is, the steering sensitivity of the car is reduced due to the toe out condition being reduced.
Regarding F-duct, I loved that shit. But to try and say DAS is unsafe is a weaker argument than F-duct
I was not aware of that - thank you!Am sure he has seen it but just in case New Britain had missed this pearl....
New Max Mosley documentary set for March release
"""The documentary also features interviews with prominent F1 figures such as Bernie Ecclestone, Jean Todt, Flavio Briatore, and the late Robin Herd """
I wonder if it would have an interview with Ron Dennis too or did spanky get involved to make sure he turned into a hagiography about himself.....

Sliding Glass Door Handle With Key Lock - You'll definitely be looking at painting the walls different colors and adding various kinds of carpeting, tile, or wood floors, if you're considering remodeling or looking at the interior designs of a new house. Yet, perhaps you have considered what you might desire for the doors? Sure, there are white wooden doors the classic light, or the hefty carved medieval -looking wood doors; however, heavily carved old fashioned doors tend to be stained in colours that are darker and make a somewhat gloomy atmosphere at home.
Use decorative glass doors? Well, there are plenty of motives for that! One major advantage that a decorative glass door has over a dark, old, medieval wooden door is the capacity to let light from room to room. The transfer of so much daylight through the entire house will make an overall lighter feeling, enabling more daylight in your home and creating a warmer effect.
Cosmetic glass doors come in several shapes, sizes, and designs. For a more contemporary appearance, you could just simply wish to consider an elegant glass door with gold or silver metallic contacts on the edges; the doorway to let in the most light will be allowed by clear glass. A decorative glass door also may be properly used for office and room doors.
This same idea goes for the shower; while shower curtains might suffice, having a glass door to your shower will let more light in so that you no more must stand in the dark shower it is possible to take pleasure in the warm water! There's frosted textured glass that's not quite transparent but not translucent either, and just has wavy designs all over the glass so that it's challenging to see the image that was clear on the other side.

Russia’s RIA state news agency website posted a video showing the car crashing into a tow truck parked by a safety fence that separates the carriageway from oncoming traffic. It’s believed the vehicle was on autopilot at the time of the accident. Russian businessman Alexey Tretyakov, 41-year-old, who was driving his Model S last night and his two children were severely injured and transported to the hospital. They escaped from the vehicle before it was destroyed by the fire. The father have suffered a concussion and a leg fracture, while the children suffered cervical spine and chest injuries.Their lives are not in harm’s way.
There were previous accidents involving Tesla vehicles on autopilot. Tesla asks that drivers always keep their hands on the steering wheel when using autopilot and that they stay ready to take control at any time. It is a driver-assist system and not a driver replacement.The automaker insists that its vehicles are much less likely to catch on fire than gas-powered vehicles.


COST OF DEVELOPMENT One of the reasons why Microsoft Access database is consistently the database of choice is that it is a less expensive alternative to larger database systems, such as Oracle or SQL Server, which require a tremendous amount of set up and maintenance costs.
SOFTWARE INTEGRATION Since Access is a Microsoft Office product, it has been designed to integrate well with other products in the Microsoft Office Suite, Access is such a widely used database system that other software manufacturers are more likely to provide the ability to interface directly to Access than any other desktop database system.
ODBC (OPEN DATABASE CONNECTIVITY) COMPLIANT Access has the ability to use data stored in Access/Jet, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and other ODBC compliant data containers including MySQL and PostgreSQL. Software developers and data architects have used Access to easily develop application software. Non-programmers, also known as “power users” can use Access to build simple applications. While some object-oriented techniques are supported, it falls short of being a fully object-oriented development tool.
LEGACY DATA Access has the ability to easily import many data formats so that your existing data is not lost. This feature can not only save 100′s of hours of input time, but also eliminate potential human input error.
DISTRIBUTION One of the benefits of using Microsoft Access is its Jet Database format, which contains not only the application but also the data in one file. The ability to have the application and data in one file makes it extremely convenient to distribute the entire application to various users who can run the application in disconnected environments.
SCALABILITY If your company is growing, one of the benefits of Microsoft Access is that it has upgrade capabilities. If the size of your database is continually growing and your performance starts to suffer, you can easily upgrade to SQL Server along with an Access Data Project (ADP).
UNIQUE IDENTIFIER Each piece of information is assigned a unique identifier. This is extremely important since it controls that each piece of information is only entered once and eliminates human and duplication errors.
