The image depicts a religious scene featuring two figures - one identified as St. Johnson warned that even Tier 1 restrictions would be tough, and said the public should follow the rules "very carefully".
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned that even the lightest tier of coronavirus restrictions in England will be "very tough" as the government prepares to announce its new regional lockdown system.
Johnson cautioned that life will not be able to return to normal "for some time" despite the promising news about a potential vaccine.
The Prime Minister's comments came as the government is set to unveil its new three-tier lockdown system for England on Monday, which will see different parts of the country placed under different sets of restrictions.
Areas with the highest infection rates are expected to be placed into the "very high" alert level, forcing pubs and bars to close unless they can operate as restaurants.
Johnson said the public should follow the rules "very carefully" in order to avoid a return to the nationwide lockdown.
"We're going to have to go through a tough period now to get to the other side," he told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show.
"But look, the scientific cavalry is now in sight. We've got the vaccines coming down the track in a big way.
"So my message is, let's work together now to get through to the spring, to the vaccine, and avoid the misery of another national lockdown," he added.
The Prime Minister said while the Government wants to avoid a national lockdown, "even the Tier 1 areas are going to have to do more".
Johnson warned that even Tier 1 restrictions would be tough, and said the public should follow the rules "very carefully".
He explained that in Tier 1 areas, "you've still got to be very careful, you've got to observe the guidelines very carefully".
"Even in the lowest tier areas, people will have to be very mindful, they'll have to be very cautious," he added.
The Prime Minister said the country faces a "hard" winter and asked people to "work together" to avoid another full lockdown.
He acknowledged the new measures will be "frustrating" for many, but said the Government must "balance the need to protect public health with the huge social and economic impact of lockdowns".
The three-tier system for England is expected to be announced on Monday, with the Prime Minister set to hold a press conference alongside the chief medical officer for England, Chris Whitty, and the chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance.
It comes as the Government's scientific advisers warned as many as 85,000 people could die in a "reasonable worst-case scenario" this winter if further restrictions are not imposed.
The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) has recommended the UK needs to urgently move to a higher set of the "baseline" restrictions.
The worst-case assessment is based on the virus spreading rapidly during the winter months.
However, news of a potential vaccine from Pfizer/BioNTech - with an efficacy rate of over 90% - has provided some hope.
The UK has pre-ordered 40 million doses of the vaccine, enough to vaccinate up to a third of the population.
Johnson said the Government will ensure the vaccine is "distributed as fast as we can" once it has been approved for use by regulators.
However, he cautioned that life will not be able to return to normal "for some time" despite the promising news. # (4) Sutekija: Shall I buy MLB 20?
I'm new to the franchise and am interested in getting into it. Is MLB 20 a good place to start? Is it worth buying with MLB 21 coming out in just a couple months? Or is there something else I should look at?
RedArkerr: I would say yes, buy MLB 20. The game has improved a lot and at this stage, you can find it for a much cheaper price than 21. 21 will be releasing soon, but the gameplay should be similar enough from 20 to 21 that you won't be missing out on too much if you start with 20. Just be mindful that the rosters/teams won't be up to date for the 2021 season.
ryanbailey19: I'd say buy 20 if it's much cheaper than 21, you'll have the most updated roster and all the new modes and gameplay features from the past few years. 21 could be a decent deal more expensive since it's the newest iteration.
stilltilting: I would say that if you are new to the franchise, starting off with 20 is probably a good idea. You can get it for less money and the franchise mode and DD stuff will all be pretty similar from 20 to 21.
The main differences are:
1) Roster updates. MLB 21 will have the current 2021 rosters whereas 20 will only go up through the 2020 season.
2) Graphical improvements/engine tweaks. There may be some visual and minor gameplay differences. But it's not like going from PS3 to PS4.
3) Whatever new features get added in 21. But if you're newer, you probably won't miss them as much. Things like Pinpoint Pitching, or whatever other gameplay tweaks there are.
So you'll likely get a very similar core baseball experience for a cheaper price buying 20. Just be aware the rosters won't be fully updated.
If you have more cash to spare and really want the latest and greatest, then 21 might be worth it. But if money is tight, 20 should give you a very solid baseball game to start with and learn the franchise.
@stilltilting Sutekija: Thanks for the detailed response! I'll likely go for 20 then and save a bit of money. I appreciate the guidance.
@Sutekija stilltilting: You're welcome! Glad I could help. Enjoy the game!
@ryanbailey19 Sutekija: Got it, thanks! I'll hold off for now and see if I can find 20 at a good price.
@RedArkerr Sutekija: Perfect, thanks for the advice! I'll look into getting 20 then since it'll likely be cheaper.
# r/SQLServer (2) 2021-06-16 SQLEverything: SQL Server local domain trust vs. SQL Server linked servers
Hello All,
I have a client environment with the following:
- Primary SQL Server is on-premises, local domain
- Several client apps are on-premises, all on the same local domain
- The client has a requirement to retrieve data from another database located in a different organization's cloud environment.
The options to retrieve data from the external database that I can think of are:
1) Create a SQL Server linked server from the primary SQL Server to the external database.
2) Configure a local domain trust between the primary SQL Server and the external database server.
What are the pros and cons of each approach? Any other considerations I should take into account?
My gut feeling is that creating a linked server may be more straightforward, but I want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything important.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT:
The external database is a SQL Server database, not a cloud-based database like Azure SQL DB or Amazon RDS.
Thanks!
SQLEverything: Great points, thanks! The external database is a SQL Server database, not a cloud-based database like Azure SQL DB or Amazon RDS. I've updated my post to clarify this.
From your response, it seems like the main pros of the linked server approach are:
1) Simpler to set up and manage
2) More control over the connection since it's defined within the primary SQL Server
And the cons of the linked server approach are:
1) Potential security/compliance concerns if the connection credentials are stored within the primary SQL Server
Whereas the local domain trust approach:
Pros:
1) Better security/compliance since the connection is secured at the domain level
Cons:
1) More complex to set up and manage
Is this a fair assessment? Any other factors I should consider?
andrewsmd87: Personally, I would go the linked server route. Here's why:
- It's just easier to setup and manage. You don't have to worry about domain trust issues, firewall settings between servers, etc. You just configure the linked server and you're good to go.
- Security is usually not a huge issue. You can control access to the linked server just like any other resource in your DB. Only give access to the accounts/users that need it.
- If you ever want to change the external DB server, you just update the linked server config vs dealing with the domain trust.
The main downside I can think of is if there are very strict security/compliance requirements, the linked server approach may not meet those. But in general, unless there's some specific requirement to use domain trust, I'd go with the linked server.

I agree with your gut feeling. Setting up a linked server is

This is a religious artwork depicting Saint Maria Salome, as indicated by the text at the top of the image reading "S.MARIA SALOME." The piece appears to be a pen and ink drawing in an oval frame. The figure is shown standing in religious robes with a head covering, positioned in a landscape setting with crosses visible in the background. The composition includes the date "22 Octob." at the bottom and bears what appears to be an artist's signature "Israel ex." The drawing style is characteristic of historical religious iconography, with fine line work and cross-hatching techniques used to create depth and shadows.
