Helping you to grow your environmental performance and profitability
At Compact and Bale we encourage our customers to recycle as much as possible and work with them to do so. Not only do we supply the equipment to help our customers recycle their waste, in 2016, in excess of 20,000 tonnes of material went through Compact and Bale's waste collection service. The recycled cardboard alone resulted in the preservation of 170,000 trees and the diversion of 20,000 cubic yards of waste from landfill.
To protect the environment in which we live and do business is one of Compact & Bale's core values and a principle that we consider to be sound business practice. Caring for the environment is an important part of how we conduct our business and is a key responsibility of every member of our team. As an Environmental Sector company this is particularly relevant to us and our clients.

The Philippine Community Fund has been supported by Compact & Bale since our MD, Steve Burnett, first visited Manila in 2009. PCF runs a school for up to 1000 children built from 72 recycled 40ft shipping containers, positioned to serve the scavenger communities of Tondo and Navotas Cemetery. Having seen the plight of children working from the age of 3 as dumpsite scavengers, Steve returned from his visit committed to supporting this truly amazing charity. Within a month 2 balers had been packed and shipped off to Manila to work on PCF's waste recycling livelihood program, run from the premises of their Tondo dumpsite school.
Steve also started speaking and presenting on PCF's work to schools, youth groups, Scouts, Cubs, Brownies, churches, old peoples groups, men's and women's breakfast meetings (actually anyone who would listen!). One of PCF's staff visited Compact & Bale for a week's training in waste and recycling and took his new found skills back to Manila to apply in the operation of their ever-growing waste and recycling livelihood program. One of the key ingredients for PCF is to employ some of the children in their school's parents to make unique and beautiful jewellery, bags and all sorts of other products from the waste materials that they sort from the dumpsite waste. In the UK, Steve is constantly seeking new ring-pull collectors! The ring-pulls from drinks and food cans make the most amazing and valuable products that PCF sells worldwide. All the profits from the products are put straight back to work within the charity and so benefit the community again and again.
PCF pays the 100s of parents a proper living wage and operates a water purification plant, feeding program, medical centre, house building program, crisis care and social workers and child sponsorship programme. In 2013, Steve became a trustee for PCF and made his fourth visit to The Philippines. If you think you could help by collecting ring-pulls, donating or sponsoring a child, a classroom or even making PCF your charity for the year, please contact Steve or PCF's office direct.

Purple Community Fund
"PCF was registered in the UK in 2002 by our founder and CEO Jane Walker MBE after 8 years of working in the Philippines with the poorest of the urban poor. PCF works in the most depressed areas of the Philippines reaching out to communities that live in extreme crisis situations, unable to provide for their most basic needs and without the hope or ability to change their futures. PCF's five programmes operate in a large slum area in Tondo, Manila, San Jose Cemetery in Navotas, Manila and Baguio rubbish dump.
Targeted beneficiaries are children and their families living in squalid shanty towns by city rubbish dumps where residents search for recyclable rubbish. PCF community schools, feeding and health programmes help rescue child labourers, as young as 4 years old, from the rubbish dumps. Adult skills training and livelihood projects offer families an alternative income to waste picking."

New tower would rise next-door to a Marriott Edition hotel complex.
With work slated to begin soon at the Melrose Triangle development, the Charles Company will now try its luck with another iconic project on the Sunset Strip.
According to Wehoville, the developer has filed plans with the City of West Hollywood to construct a 19-story hotel tower on the Sunset Strip, next-door to the new Marriott Edition. Plans for the high-rise structure at 9034 Sunset Boulevard call for 185 guest rooms, 14 apartments, event space and ground-floor commercial uses. A four-level, 550-car garage would sit beneath the tower.
The subject property is a T-shaped, 1.3-acre lot that runs north-to-south between Sunset Boulevard and Harratt Street. It is currently improved with a mixture of commercial buildings - including the current headquarters of the Charles Company - and surface parking.
R&A Architecture & Design has been tapped to design the project, which would feature offset, amorphous floor plates that give the building an undulating texture.

Been slow with news lately. Here is something from the SMH.
11 October 2018 — 12:01am.
Is a month-long detente between billionaire rugby union fan Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest and Raelene Castle's Rugby Australia, the code's governing body, unravelling already?
The expansion of Forrest's World Series competition planned for next year is due to be ticked off by the World Rugby Executive Committee next month.
It's expected the game will expand to eight teams competing for a $1 million prize after a series of exhibition matches this year with Forrest's beloved Perth-based Western Force.
The plan has always been to start with a team in Sydney's west and several big-money types are waiting in the wings for sign-off from Rugby Australia and NSW Rugby.
Despite backing next year's expansion, support for the new team has (still) not been forthcoming.
With kick-off scheduled for late February, time is running out to make arrangements.
And that's exactly what Rugby Australia is concerned about.
Andrew Forrest is hoping to start a team in Sydney's west when the World Series Rugby competition launches next year.
Maybe Forrest's tussle with fellow mining magnate Gina Rinehart over Atlas Iron, only resolved this week, has taken the eye of the ball.
But short quick work, the World Series could be without a presence where the AFL already has the wildly popular Tony Shepherd-led Giants and where the NRL is more than well represented.

"With kick-off scheduled for late February, time is running out to make arrangements.
And that's exactly what Rugby Australia is concerned about."
I'm pretty sure this is exactly what Rugby Australia has been planning.
Rugby Australia - regularly presenting an agenda of belligerence, obfuscation and procrastination to WSR.
They can't release details without the final tick.
Watch how quick the good word is spread when the tick is placed in the box.
Not sure there was much of a relationship to unravel anyway.
If it was really in jeopardy Georgina, Payto & Pando would be all over it, and they are not....speaks volumes.
Absolutely this latest news presumably came from a journalist who doesn't write many articles on sport.
Just me reading between the lines.
I was messing, just behaving like a certain poster from another site.
Lets not panic. I imagine Twiggy cannot formally launch WSR to the public until after the meeting in London in November. But I imagine everything is going ahead being organised behind the curtains. I cannot find a date for that meeting. Last year the meeting was on the 23 rd of nove, so could have to wait another 6 weeks before we see the formal announcements.
World Series Rugby has been given the tick of approval by the sport's governing body and the Western Force will battle seven teams for a $1 million purse in the revolutionary tournament next year.
The competition, bankrolled by Perth mining magnate Andrew Forrest, will create the biggest shake-up in rugby since the sport turned professional 23 years ago.
It will kick-off in March and is expected to feature two sides from Japan, and one each from New Zealand - possibly an "all stars" team drawn from the Mitre 10 Cup - Fiji, Hong Kong, Singapore and Western Sydney.
At least two more teams may be added within five years and negotiations have begun with broadcasters throughout the regions where games will be played.
"We are in the final stretch and I remain confident rugby fans and players in our part of the world will have an innovative new competition to get behind in 2019," Forrest said.
Forrest's plans were considered by World Rugby's executive committee on Wednesday who recommended approval to the World Rugby Council, subject to regulatory and governance criteria.
"This concept is about developing and growing the great game of rugby union in an untapped region, with the support of local communities," Forrest said.
"We have worked closely with World Rugby, Rugby Australia, Hong Kong Rugby Union and New Zealand Rugby for several months to get this over the line.
"The support provided by the World Rugby executive committee is an important milestone and I would particularly like to thank World Rugby chief executive Brett Gosper, Rugby Australia CEO Raelene Castle and the many other rugby leaders around the world that have had the vision and foresight to champion this competition.
Earlier this week Gosper said: "Generally World Rugby's position is, if someone wants to put money in the sport .... we would encourage that.
One of the sides expected to join the new competition is the Robbie Deans-coached Panasonic Wild Knights, who played the Force in one of seven invitation matches earlier this year.
The Western Sydney-based team would have a strong Samoa and Tonga influence but would also tap into the area's talent-laden resources.
Shute Shield premiership-winning Warringah Rats coach Darren Coleman has been sounded out as coach of the new side.
Coleman, currently coaching NSW Country Eagles in the National Rugby Championship, led the Rats to the 2017 premiership and this year's grand final.
Clubs are expected to be owned by companies, individuals, national unions or current management and will not be tied to a salary cap for their 30-man squads.
WSR is also expected to contract eight marquee players who will be directed to clubs to produce a level playing field.
The competition will be played between March and June next year over a 14-week home-and-away season. The top four sides will go into a three-week sudden-death finals series.
WSR has morphed from Forest's original plan for a six-team Indo Pacific Rugby Championship. It will be run by an independent board with Forrest as chairman and there will be a commission of clubs.
Than you have Coleman accepting the Gordon after stating he was told by people that the Western Sydney side won't happen next year.
Looks like we will be going back to the original 6 team plan as NZR and RA dont want any teams in WSR - besides the force. I dont understand why people are so scared of change.
They will fear the teams and comp will be run by proper business people who were show them up for what they really are.
Just posting the article for those who have used their 5 clicks for the month.
Mining magnate Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest's World Series Rugby vision has suffered a major setback after Australia and New Zealand said they would block the rebel league in western Sydney and across the Tasman until after 2020.
With the format of Super Rugby and the international Test schedule both up in the air, it is understood Rugby Australia (RA) and New Zealand Rugby (NZR) have told Forrest they will not support his bid to put teams in western Sydney and New Zealand until after both are resolved.
With the new Super Rugby agreement to start in 2021 and the global calendar on a similar time frame, the news means that apart from the Western Force, World Series Rugby will not have any Australian or New Zealand teams until then at the very earliest.
Snagged: Andrew Forrest's hope for a team in Sydney's west has hit a huge stumbling block.
Under a plan circulated amongst the unions, Forrest's vision was for an eight-team competition to start in February next year with a team in western Sydney, at least one in New Zealand and Japan, as well as the Western Force.
NSW Rugby Union boss Andrew Hore said on Thursday that NSW supported the positions of RA and NZR, saying it was a case of not "never", just "not now", as the NSWRU itself fights to breathe life into the huge but underutilised region.
"There won't be a World Series team there next year. As we know there's a lot of work to be done in and around western Sydney and nobody's saying no to that but making sure it's done in an effective way," he said.
"Our whole focus at the moment has been on unifying the game so anything we do has to be tied to our new governance model and have the full support of the rugby community, otherwise you just end up with another fraction.
"That's still open for discussion but I think everyone's in agreement it could all be too quick. You've got 2020 on the horizon and the renegotiation of where rugby will be after that."
It is a major setback for Forrest and the World Series team, but is unlikely to daunt the determined magnate. Hore hinted that Forrest had already heard the news from RA boss Raelene Castle, who had a working dinner with the billionaire and her NZR counterpart, Steve Tew, last month.
"I think Raelene's alluded to that and it seems that both her and Steve Tew have had some good meetings, which is good, and we had one meeting with his representative," Hore said.
"I think everyone's under agreement that you can't put a professional team and build it on sand, it just doesn't work. So all of the other variables that make a team like that sustainable and potentially, whether it will go ahead at all, needs further discussion.
'Not now': NSW Rugby says the state has groundwork to do before western Sydney is ready for a professional team.
"To try to put a professional team in by next March - nobody's got the resource probably outside Twiggy's group at this stage. Because at the end of the day we've got to look after 100,000 rugby players in our own state. With everything else going on it's a lot of work."
As expected and a load of nonsense it is all about trying to cling on to whatever pathetic power they have. WSR has already given the dates and eats far less in to the schedule than Super Rugby does.
The game will go broke unless something is done. Twiggy align yourself with Papworth, Dwyer and Jones to over throw this mob.

This Mistake Cost One Hotel Guest 90,000 Points (and Possibly More)
by Scott Mackenzie
Link-bait headline aside, I wasn't quite sure how else to describe this story. FlyerTalk member zaunstar was staying at an InterContinental hotel in Beijing for 34 nights and had a final hotel bill of over $9,000. Anticipating this when he checked in, he signed up for the IHG Rewards program at the front desk. IHG promises 10 points per dollar to base members and up to 20 points per dollar to top-tier Spire elite members.
But when he checked out he only received 1,000 points, not 90,000.
The reason is that IHG Rewards states on their enrollment brochures that new members will receive 1,000 points for their stay when they sign up at the hotel.
If you enroll in IHG® Rewards Club at the time of your initial stay in any IHG branded hotel excluding ANA partner hotel worldwide, you will be awarded 1,000 points for that qualified enrolling stay.
That's not an additional 1,000 points. It's 1,000 points, period.
I don't want to make this a blame game or a consumer advocacy case. Rather, I think it's a useful lesson about the importance of fine print and showing up prepared. My opinion is that IHG Rewards offered what was promised and what makes sense from a typical business perspective, but it clearly looks absurd in this particular exception.
Why does this make sense? A new member who enrolls at the hotel wasn't really incentivized by the loyalty program to stay there in the first place. The points are a freebie. In many cases the difference is small enough. Consider a two- or three-night stay, probably at one of IHG's many cheaper brands like Holiday Inn Express. Let's be generous and call it $500. How many people will complain about the difference between 5,000 points and 1,000?
There's obviously a big difference when the customer was expecting 90,000 points. I think zaunstar has some room here to reach out to the hotel or IHG's corporate office to ask for reconsideration. I don't know of any other hotel loyalty program that has this first-stay limitation. Many airlines, in fact, allow you to save a boarding pass and claim credit up to six months after travel.
That doesn't mean I won't be proved wrong by another fluke exception. What you should take away is that it's something that could easily be avoided in the first place, perhaps even by registering during the booking process. I'm a member of several loyalty programs in which I have few, if any, miles and points. Sometimes it's so I can transfer points from another program and redeem them immediately. But more often it's because they store my information, making it easier to track reservations. Or because creating a free account with a car rental agency is sometimes the easiest way to shorten the wait because they already know you don't want insurance. Or for the sake of programs like Avianca LifeMiles that target their best offers to pre-existing members.
But if I had one piece of advice for anyone planning an extended hotel stay, it's that you should sign up for the hotel's credit card before you go. You may not use it to pay for the trip, but many credit cards include some kind of elite status. Status means bonus points. The Platinum status that comes with the IHG Rewards credit card — or, even better in this case, purchasing InterContinental Ambassador status — would provide an easy 50% bonus or 45,000 additional points.
As an added bonus, that credit card application will automatically generate a loyalty program number for you if you didn't have one already. 😉

Lake Garda & the Best of the Veneto for Solo Travellers
8 Days - Solo Traveller
For centuries, Italy has drawn visitors in search of culture and romance; few countries can compare with its prodigious classical origins in art, architecture, music, design, scenery, food and wine. Italy's contribution to European painting and sculpture surpasses that of any other nation. Blend this with the magnificent scenery of its lakes, one of the world's great cuisines and the Italian attitude of living life to the absolute maximum and you have a superb destination for a tour. Italy is blessed with fantastic scenery and some of the finest is to be found as you approach Lake Garda, where the abundant flowers and verdant trees covering the banks are reflected in an ever-changing kaleidoscope of colour. The picturesque lake with gentle waves lapping slowly onto the shingle shoreline, the stunning snow-capped Alps in the background and a scattering of charming villages all fit together in a beautifully balanced mosaic. It is only in the past 150 years that Italy has come to exist as a nation state formed from a collection of largely independent cities, often separated by almost impenetrable marshes or mountain ranges. On this tour, we shall visit two of these – the hugely different, but equally classic cities of Verona and Venice. Verona is without doubt one of the most attractive cities you will ever see, deservedly well known as the setting for the legendary tale of Romeo and Juliet. Significant since ancient times, it has more ancient remains than any city in Italy except Rome itself. Its most striking monument is the arena – the third largest amphitheatre ever built – where the entertainment on offer included gladiatorial combat. Enclosed by massive and exceedingly well-preserved ramparts, the city has a captivating medieval feel to it with pink-hued buildings, lovingly restored, lining the streets. All the enticing pictures you have seen of St Mark's Square and Basilica, the Doge's Palace and the Grand Canal have merely been telling the extraordinary truth: Venice is a stunning city. You cannot walk for more than a few minutes without stopping to gaze at sights which simply demand admiration. One of the greatest joys of visiting Italy is, of course, being amongst the Italians themselves. Stylish, always ready to help and, perhaps the overriding national characteristic, living life to the full and creating the fantastic atmosphere so much in evidence – so come with us and see.

You will be met at your departure airport by a member of the Riviera Travel team before checking in for your flight. On arrival in Italy, a coach will take you to the delightful resort town of Gardone Riviera, where we will stay at the four-star Hotel Savoy Palace. This evening, we will get together with our travelling companions and tour manager for a welcome drinks reception overlooking the lake (weather permitting) before dinner at the hotel.
Lake Garda first came to prominence in the late-19th century, when visitors came to enjoy the clean mountain air, and it has been famous as an area of outstanding natural beauty ever since. Today we will have a tour of the lake, passing through some lovely, quintessentially Italian villages complete with tiny harbours clinging to the shoreline against a backdrop of mountains. Our day begins with a drive north along the western shore of the lake to the pretty little town of Limone, hemmed in on one side by the steep mountains and on the other by the lake, which up until 1932 was only accessible by boat. We then continue to bustling Riva del Garda at the northern end of the lake, where we will stop for lunch and time to wander the charming medieval centre with its pedestrianised streets. From the northern end of the lake, we board a ferry for a leisurely cruise back to Gardone, passing between towering mountains and lakeside villages.
After an early breakfast we take the drive to unique Venice; caught in a time warp and as culturally rich as any city can be. We will take a walking tour during which we will see St Mark's Square and its Basilica, the Campanile and Doge's Palace together with countless other places of interest. Venice first came to prominence in the 10th century and grew in wealth and power on gaining its independence from Byzantium, reaching its zenith during the 15th century. It was then that many of the fantastic buildings you see today were built. Venice at the time was the greatest power in the Mediterranean with an empire encompassing Crete, parts of Turkey and a huge portion of Northern Italy, and it soon created a capital to match. Sitting between the Eastern and Western world, trading quickly grew and innumerable merchants poured their newly made fortunes, just as people do today, into the arts and property, private and municipal. St Mark's Basilica is a must: built to house the relics of St Mark himself, it is Europe's most exotic cathedral with the decoration inside being incredibly opulent. The statistics are staggering – there are over 40,000 square feet of detailed mosaics of every colour of the rainbow covering the entire interior. The blend of coloured-marble columns, gold and red painting, and bas-reliefs combine to create one of the world's most beautiful buildings. Adjacent is the Doge's Palace, once home of the most powerful man in Venice who, incidentally, was elected for life. The Palace was also the seat of government councils and courts, as well as the prisons. Obviously, the government of such a great power had to be accommodated accordingly. As a visit will reveal, the palace is home to the most amazing wood carvings, an exquisite floor inlaid with exotic woods from as far afield as Japan, and one room alone featuring four Tintorettos. The walls and ceilings are exquisitely decorated with paintings, frescoes and gold leaf. St Mark's Square itself is a must too and the focal point of the city since its foundation. Today, visitors have replaced merchants and to sip a coffee in one of the square's pavement cafés, drinking in the beauty around you, must rank as one of life's great pleasures. To see it all at once, why not take a trip up the imposing Campanile tower? Originally built as a lighthouse, Galileo demonstrated his telescope to a sceptical public here. For art lovers there is Accademia, housing one of the finest collections in the world with superb examples of Renaissance work, or the Guggenheim with exhibits by Miro, Picasso, Chagall and Léger among others. One thing that really strikes you about Venice is that it is not nearly as expensive as you might believe. Away from St. Mark's Square, small restaurants offer three-course meals at reasonable prices. But Venice is not just art and monuments, fantastic though they are, this is a city that cries out to be seen from the water and what better way than by taking a trip by gondola. These beautifully made boats are crafted from 300 individual pieces of wood. A short ride on one of them is a lovely and peaceful way to explore the backwaters of the city. You will have sore feet when you return to the hotel, but everyone should visit this wondrous city at least once in their lives.
Today is a free day to explore at your leisure. You could choose to stroll along the lakefront promenade from the hotel and pause in a café for a refreshing lunch with stunning views. Alternatively, you may choose to take a bus or stroll into Gardone Sopra, which is home to an impossibly quaint old town. You will also find Heller Gardens, a botanical garden which makes the most of the microclimate to showcase a number of plant species rarely seen outside of their natural habitats. 'Vittoriale', the estate of the eccentric poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, is located nearby and a fascinating place to spend an afternoon.
Our journey today takes us west and back in time to the sleepy yet achingly beautiful Mantova, a medieval city often overlooked despite its proximity to Lake Garda. Perhaps the answer lies in the three surrounding lakes, forming a natural fortification and keeping Mantova a secret from the world, one which has remained virtually untouched for centuries. As the dramatic skyline of ancient towers, domes and cupolas comes into view, it's easy to see why the city features in two well-loved tragedies: it is the setting for Verdi's Rigoletto and Shakespeare had an impassioned Romeo exiled here. During our guided tour of the old town, the reasons for its UNESCO World Heritage status become strikingly evident. Although compact in size, Mantova has more than its share of artistic, cultural and architectural treasures. The city reached its zenith in the 14th century when it came under Gonzaga rule, one of the greatest Renaissance families of Italy. Their home was the sumptuous Palazzo Ducale, a highlight of the city and once Europe's largest palace with around 500 rooms, extravagantly decorated with glorious works of art. Wander the cobbled streets and relax in the lovely squares, where locals and visitors alike meet for a coffee. Perhaps take a cruise on the River Mincio and admire the city from a different perspective.
Today you are free to do as you wish, so what is it to be? Take the ferry to Sirmione, set on a narrow peninsula rich in history and famed for its thermal water with healing properties. It's a pleasure to wander the inviting streets lined by pastel-hued buildings adorned with colourful flowers. Or you may choose to relax in your hotel, perhaps by the swimming pool located in pretty gardens. For the more adventurous, you may choose to stroll along to a private beach (additional charge), where you can enjoy a dip in the lake itself.
Verona is one of the most pleasing and beautiful cities in Italy and today we have a guided walking tour to appreciate it at its best, discovering its hidden side too. We approach through the centuries-old city walls and when you enter the old town you cannot help but admire the medieval buildings complete with their contrasting frescoes underneath archways unchanged for centuries. Typical pavement cafés abound, some with violinists serenading their clients whilst they take a refreshing drink, enjoying the shade from the warm sunshine. The tiny narrow streets, complete with tasteful shops, are so typical of Italy and then there is the market place, dating from Roman times, replete with interesting reminders of the city's past. The tragic story of 'Romeo and Juliet' is set in Verona and when you experience the atmosphere here you can see why. The two great lovers from rival families have inspired countless films, poems and dramas and you can even see the balcony where the immortal words 'O Romeo, Romeo' were reputedly spoken. The Roman arena is awe-inspiring but there are also countless medieval and Renaissance squares and courtyards to explore, as well as a superb 12th-century cathedral which houses a piece by Titian. The Roman Theatre is a must too, as are the clipped box hedges and dazzling display of colour at one of the Renaissance's finest gardens. Another interesting site is San Zeno – arguably the finest Romanesque church in northern Italy. One of the most delightful things about Verona is that despite being close to Venice it receives fewer visitors. This afternoon is free so you can explore the city as you wish or, perhaps, go shopping. Italy is inextricably linked with chic fashion and style and Verona has some lovely shops; prices are not nearly as expensive as you may imagine, with leatherware being particularly good value.

Prefetch ID with SQLAlchemy and PosgreSQL

August 18, 2015

I wanted to store external URL of project as short link (a bit like bitly) so a harmful URL could be block globally in the system. To avoid making the URL being able to be guessed, I used hashids which generates short, unique, non-sequential ids from numbers. With hashids I can easily convert the primary key id into an alternative id which can be exposed.

http://mydomain.com/AW3d -> http://google.com
(301 Moved Permanently to http://google.com)

To illustrate our problem, we have a model called Link. This model is used to stored a URL and a corresponding hashid for the short URL.

from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declared_attr, as_declarative
from sqlalchemy import Unicode, String, Column, Integer

@as_declarative
class Base(object):
    @declared_attr
    def __tablename__(cls):
        return cls.__name__.lower()

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)

engine = create_engine('postgresql://test@/test')
DBSession = scoped_session(sessionmaker(bind=engine))
Base.metadata.bind = engine

class Link(Base):
    url = Column('url', Unicode, index=True, unique=True, nullable=False)
    hashid = Column('url', String, index=True, unique=True, nullable=False)

Even if a transaction block protect us from an accidental INSERT by the application error halfway. I want to avoid having nullable column if I can to preserve the integrity of our db. In some cases, having a NULL value can make sens but we don't want a link object without hashid.

To be able to create the hashid before insert, we need to know what will be the primary id. Luckily, PostgreSQL has sequences and when you define a primary key Integer column, SQLAlchemy will automatically use the SERIAL type. SERIAL are not true types, but a notational convenience for creating unique identifier columns. Behind the scene, Postgres create a not null Integer column with a default value equal to the sequence next value.

CREATE TABLE tablename (
    colname SERIAL
);

is equivalent to specifying:

CREATE SEQUENCE tablename_colname_seq;
CREATE TABLE tablename (
    colname integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('tablename_colname_seq')
);
ALTER SEQUENCE tablename_colname_seq OWNED BY tablename.colname;

Let see first, a solution if we were to allow NULL for the hashid column. A function to create a Link object could look like this:

from hashids import Hashids

def create_link(url):
    hashids = Hashids()
    link = Link(
        id=nextid,
        url=url,
        )
    DBSession.add(link)
    DBSession.flush(link)
    link.hashid = hashids.encode(link.id)
    DBSession.commit(link)
    return link

In our case, we decided not to allow NULL in the hashid column so the code above would give us a violation error of the not-null constraint.

The SERIAL type created a sequence of the format tablename_columm_seq and using the sequence we can prefetch the id. The rewritten function to create a Link object using sequence could look like this:

from hashids import Hashids
from sqlalchemy.schema import Sequence

def create_link(url):
    hashids = Hashids()
    nextid = DBSession.execute(Sequence("link_id_seq"))
    hashid = hashids.encode(nextid)
    link = Link(
        id=nextid,
        url=url,
        hashid=hashid
    )
    DBSession.add(link)
    DBSession.commit(link)
    return link

Because the sequences are non-transactional, then there is no problem with prefetching the id from it. I'm not aware of any problems that could happen.

I hope this post may help if you hit a similar use case, I can imagine some situation when I wanted to know the ID before inserting my record.

Taumatin je mešanica intenzivno sladkih beljakovin (taumatinov), med katerimi prevladujeta taumatin I in II, in se nahajajo v sadežih  zahodnoafriške rastline  Thaumatococcus daniellli. Uporablja se kot sladilo in ojačevalec okusa. Po sistemu označevanja s števili E ima številko E957.

Kemijska zgradba
Sestavlja ga 207 aminokislinskih ostankov in ima 8 intramolekularnih disulfidnih vezi,ki pomembno prispevajo k njegovi terciarni strukturi in zaradi katerih je termostabilen ter odporen na denaturacijo. Že cepitev ene same S-S vezi pomeni izgubo sladkega okusa.

Lastnosti in uporaba
Ne povzroča zobne gnilobe, po zaužitju pa se v človeškem organizmu presnavlja enako kot običajne beljakovine. Spada med nizkokalorična naravna sladila in je 2000 do 3000-krat slajši od saharoze (na masni ravni) in velja za eno najbolj sladkih naravnih substanc, odkritih do sedaj. Posebnost taumatina je v tem, da njegov intenzivno sladek okus zaznajo le višji primati, med njimi tudi človek. Zanimivo  pa je tudi to, da njegove končne sladkosti ne zaznamo takoj po zaužitju, ampak se le-ta pojavi šele nekaj trenutkov kasneje in pušča rahel likorizen pookus. Taumatin se marsikje uporablja zlasti kot ojačevalec okusa, saj je znano, da povečuje aromo. FDA tega sladila še ni odobrila za široko uporabo, zato se taumatin v Ameriki lahko uradno uporablja le v žvečilnih gumijih, medtem ko je v Evropi in mnogih drugih državah uradno dovoljen tudi kot sladilo. V evropskem sistemu označevanja aditivov ga najdemo pod oznako E957.

A professional wrestling promotion is a company or business that performs regular shows involving professional wrestling.
Currently, the only major wrestling organizations left in North America are World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), all based in the United States, and; the Mexican lucha libre promotions Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre and Asistencia Asesoría y Administración.
However there are also a number of small independent wrestling organizations that are upstarts or the creations of former wrestlers from the bigger promotions.
Professional wrestling is generally any form of wrestling in which the wrestlers receive payment for participating.
However, following the decline of the submission-oriented catch-as-catch-can style from mainstream professional wrestling, the tap out largely faded, regaining prominence as a means of victory mostly in the face of the popularity of the Ultimate Fighting Championships in the early 90's.

WCW was a former member of the National Wrestling Alliance.
At the end of a Nitro episode a few weeks later, he was joined by another former WWF wrestler in Kevin Nash, who set out a challenge to any three wrestlers on the WCW roster, against Hall, Nash, and their mystery partner.
The WCW slowly slid into a period of decline, blamed both on the fact that Kevin Nash was writing the scripts, the tremendous popularity of Attitude era WWF, and the seeming inability for the federation to promote any wrestlers under 40 years old.

I feel the wrestling business is doing better this year than it was at this point last year, and the evidence comes in the fact there are a lot more promotions that bring something positive to the table.
While many promotions have had their high points this year, few have put together consistently compelling television.
Many wrestling promotions (except one which controls it's image very tightly) will let you shoot in the area seperating the wrestling ring and the audience if you present yourself in a professional manner!
World Wrestling Federation (WWF) The WWF is the king of the wrestling world right now, and we won't even try to hide our belief that this is appropriate.
The WWF is known as being the most creative wrestling promotion with regard to its characters and storylines, and this happens to suit our tastes in wrestling.
However, the McMahon family was not able to promote wrestling matches at Madison Square Garden due to Rickard's dislike of the sport.
This "no wrestling at the Garden" policy ended in 1948, when Joseph Raymond "Toots" Mondt, backed by millionaire Bernarr McFadden, managed to promote a wrestling show at the famous arena.
After discovering at age 12 that the wrestling promoter was his father, Vince became steadily involved in his father's wrestling business until the latter was ready to retire.

The promotion got bought out by Jim Crockett, and Crockett pretty much fired the entire roster and brought in his own guys (keeping Rufus R. Jones and "Bulldog" Bob Brown), but Bob Geigel got the Central States area back later in 1986.
Also, I read some wrestling mags that I have from back then, and Jimmy Hart managed The Terminators around this time, but I don't remember if they were part of this video or not.

Fund Created By BLM Louisville Posts Bail For Man Accused Of Shooting At Mayoral Candidate
By Tim Meads

On Wednesday, a bail fund created by Black Lives Matter Louisville paid off the $100,000 bail set for, Quintez Brown, 21, who is accused of firing multiple shots inside a Democratic mayoral candidate's campaign office, injuring nobody but tearing candidate Craig Greenberg's clothing with the bullets of his gun. A local reporter recorded an activist affiliated with the fund paying the bail Wednesday afternoon.
On Wednesday, Rachel Droze, of local news station WHAS 11, tweeted, "just spoke with @BLMLouisville. They are heading to the bank to get a cashiers check to post Quintez Brown's bail. Brown is charged with attempted murder for allegedly shooting at mayoral candidate @RunWithCraig."
That story was confirmed by WHAS 11's Courtney Hayden, who reported, "Chanelle Helm, an organizer for Black Lives Matter Louisville, said Wednesday that the Louisville Community Bail Fund will pay the $100,000 bond set for Quintez Brown. Leaders with BLM Louisville went to the bank for a cashier's check around 3:30 p.m. to post his bail."
As noted by Hayden, "Brown is facing one charge of attempted murder and four counts of wanton endangerment. During his arraignment Tuesday, he pleaded not guilty and his bond was raised from $75,000 to $100,000."
BLM Louisville did not respond via Twitter to Droze's tweet, but liked a response from a Twitter user who said, "Why does dude have a bail anyways?"
Later, Droze tweeted, "The $100,000 cashiers check has been officially given to the clerks office to pay for @BLMLouisville activist Quintez Brown's release. @LouCommBailFund is paying. Brown is accused of shooting at Louisville mayoral candidate @RunWithCraig."
The activist at the clerk's office can be seen wearing a "Free Angela" retro shirt, referring to Dr. Angela Davis, an avowed communist and celebrated college professor who was at one point wanted by the FBI for her alleged involvement in a kidnapping plot that left four individuals dead in 1970. Davis was ultimately acquitted.

On Tuesday, The Daily Wire reported that Brown is a self-proclaimed racial justice activist who has worked for "the total liberation and unification of Africa under scientific socialism." According to reports, he met with a black nationalist group just last week and has a history of promoting violent radicals such as Kwame Ture and Assata Shakur on Instagram and Twitter.
The man was an MLK Scholar at the University of Louisville and "is the founder of From Fields to Arena, a group committed to providing political education and violence prevention training to youths engaged in hip-hop and athletics."
As flagged by The Daily Beast, last week Brown met with a representative from "Lion of Judah," a black nationalist militia group, and appeared to encourage his followers on Instagram to join the group, which believes that black people are the "chosen people" of God, not the Jews. The group has ties with the anti-semitic Black Hebrew Israelites:
Brown's more recent social media posts, particularly the accounts associated with his campaign for a seat in the Louisville Metro Council, show an increasing interest in Black nationalist and pan-Africanist leaders. He frequently posted photos and quotes of the Black Panthers, Stokely Carmichael, George Jackson, and late Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah.
He even appeared to urge followers last week to join the Lion of Judah Armed Forces, a gun-toting group whose leadership has voiced ideas similar to those of the Black Hebrew Israelite movement. The latter anti-Semitic ideology holds that Black Americans, not Jewish people, are the true descendants of the Biblical Hebrews. Adherents of the BHI movement were charged with murdering four Jewish people at a kosher supermarket in Jersey City in 2019.
A local spokesman for the Lion of Judah Armed Forces told The Daily Beast he first met with Brown last Thursday, though he said the accused never became a member of the group. He affirmed the organization's Black Hebrew Israelite beliefs, but maintained they did not endorse the attack or have any foreknowledge of Brown's plans.
"We are terribly heartbroken over what appears to have been a humongous lapse in judgment," the spokesperson said. "The Lion of Judah Armed Forces in no way advocates anything of this nature."
Those close to Brown say he has a history of mental illness. Recently, he has also stated that, "Louisville's 'criminal justice system' is the only infrastructure that is constantly funded and reinforced by the bipartisan white power structure. The intrinsic violence of the jails and the police upholds our racial and economic disparities and our leaders are COMPLICIT."
In January 2022 Greenberg, the mayoral candidate allegedly shot at by Brown, had recently pledged to crack down on rising violence, in part, by hiring more police officers.
"There is a huge shortage. Right now, we're approximately 300 officers short of a full staff," Greenberg said at the time. "And so we need to focus on recruiting and retaining officers, a diverse core of officers that reflects the community that we serve."

Want to try out a professional storyboard used by SlideGenius? Download our template here!
The wildly successful '80s comedy Caddyshack is famous for it's nearly nonexistent script. Supposedly, the script only contained twenty minutes worth of dialogue, and the rest of the movie was largely improvised.
Although it worked wonders for this film, against all odds, this strategy is surely a guarantee for disaster. A script not only gives a movie its direction and purpose, but it's a huge organizational tool. It allows the movie's writer and director to adequately prepare for filming and to visually map out all of the movie's components.
SlideGenius uses storyboards to plot out and organize each of its professional presentations.
Just as a script serves as a movie's backbone, a "storyboard" is a vital tool for any professional PowerPoint presentation, and it's an essential part of the process here at SlideGenius. A storyboard is essentially a custom-tailored spreadsheet designed for planning out a presentation slide by slide, and it's something we use for every presentation we create.
Storyboarding is the biggest step toward organizing your presentation, but there are several other important techniques useful before even opening up PowerPoint.
Condense the meaning or purpose of your speech down to a single sentence. If that task seems impossible, then it might be time to revise and trim the fat off your topic. After you put your presentation into its simplest form, make sure every slide you create contributes to this idea encapsulated in this sentence.
Do you have a lot of (Continued) slides? Do all of your headings appear to be similar or boasting about the merits of your business or product? This could be a sign that the presentation you're creating could be more well rounded.
After you've gone through and created your slides, go back and reduce as much as humanly possible. Question whether adjacent slides can be consolidated, or whether the information on the slides is made redundant by your talking points, rather than being complimentary.
Remember, an audience retains information from presentations much more effectively when slides have a small amount of information on them, and merely compliment what the speaker is saying. A cluttered presentation is often a sign of lack of planning.
After you've done this, go back through and once again, ask yourself, "Does each slide go along with the meaning of my presentation?" If you planned your PowerPoint presentation correctly, this should be the easiest step.
"Study Shows Simplicity Is Key When Creating a PowerPoint Presentation." SlideGenius. July 24, 2013.


The first presidential jet plane, a specially built Boeing 707-120, is known as SAM (Special Air Missions) 970. This aircraft, as well as any other Air Force aircraft, carried the call sign "Air Force One" when the president was aboard. Delivered in 1959 to replace Eisenhower's Super-Constellation, the high-speed jet transport is a flying Oval Office with a modified interior and sophisticated communication equipment.
Jet technology gave a president the opportunity to meet face-to-face with world leaders easily. SAM 970 has carried presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon as well as VIPs such as Nikita Khrushchev and Henry Kissinger.
By 1962, SAM 970 was replaced by a newer Boeing VC-137C. But SAM 970 remained in the presidential fleet ferrying VIPs and the Vice-President until June of 1996.
Early in its career, the Air Force One that's on display at the Museum was secretly outfitted as a spy plane by the CIA. The program was code-named Operation Lida Rose and was so secret that not even President Eisenhower knew about it.
Jackie Kennedy and industrial designer Raymond Loewy designed the iconic white, blue, and metal paint scheme for Air Force One.

Inspirational Quotes by Denton Cooley (American Surgeon)
Denton Arthur Cooley (1920–2016) was an American heart and cardiothoracic surgeon. One of the most renowned heart surgeons globally, he is famous for performing the first implantation of a total artificial heart.
Born in Houston, Texas, Cooley received his M.D. from Johns Hopkins. In 1954, he joined the Baylor University College of Medicine, where he was a professor of surgery 1962–69, as well as the founder (1962) and chief of the surgical division of the Texas Heart Institute in Houston.

A linear mode of production characterizes today's world. Raw materials are extracted from the earth, irreversibly altered, and permanently combined into products which are discarded after use. However, this is not sustainable. Therefore, we need to transition towards a sustainable and circular economy, where products are designed to last longer, require less natural resources, and can be re-manufactured after use. This is what DSM-Niaga strives for.
The company created an adhesive that can be decoupled after a product's use, so the materials that belong to different recycling streams can then be separated. Niaga adhesive and the materials with which it is integrated are therefore fully recyclable. Now, it is up to our team to find Niaga's next big breakthrough item. We will first identify products which are extremely environmentally harmful in today's market, by looking at products in landfills or that are polluting during production and recycling. Following, a technical feasibility analysis, to understand how materials and Niaga adhesive can each be modified to become compatible, durable, and marketable. Finally, we will estimate the financial, social, environmental, health, and legal impact that the product's re-design will have in today's world. As our list of viable options narrows down, we will keep in mind Niaga's philosophy before delivering our final recommendation: Keep it simple. Keep it clean. Make it reversible.
