Surgical treatment and survival from colorectal cancer in Denmark, England, Norway, and Sweden: a population-based study.
Benitez Majano, Sara; Di Girolamo, Chiara; Rachet, Bernard; Maringe, Camille; Guren, Marianne Grønlie; Glimelius, Bengt; Iversen, Lene Hjerrild; Schnell, Edrun Andrea; Lundqvist, Kristina; Christensen, Jane; +3 more... Morris, Melanie; Coleman, Michel P; Walters, Sarah; (2018) Surgical treatment and survival from colorectal cancer in Denmark, England, Norway, and Sweden: a population-based study. The Lancet Oncology, 20 (1). pp. 74-87. ISSN 1470-2045 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S1470-2045(18)30646-6
BACKGROUND: Survival from colorectal cancer has been shown to be lower in Denmark and England than in comparable high-income countries. We used data from national colorectal cancer registries to assess whether differences in the proportion of patients receiving resectional surgery could contribute to international differences in colorectal cancer survival. METHODS: In this population-based study, we collected data from all patients aged 18-99 years diagnosed with primary, invasive, colorectal adenocarcinoma from Jan 1, 2010, to Dec 31, 2012, in Denmark, England, Norway, and Sweden, from national colorectal cancer registries. We estimated age-standardised net survival using multivariable modelling, and we compared the proportion of patients receiving resectional surgery by stage and age. We used logistic regression to predict the resectional surgery status patients would have had if they had been treated as in the best performing country, given their individual characteristics. FINDINGS: We extracted registry data for 139 457 adult patients with invasive colorectal adenocarcinoma: 12 958 patients in Denmark, 97 466 in England, 11 450 in Norway, and 17 583 in Sweden. 3-year colon cancer survival was lower in England (63·9%, 95% CI 63·5-64·3) and Denmark (65·7%, 64·7-66·8) than in Norway (69·5%, 68·4-70·5) and Sweden (72·1%, 71·2-73·0). Rectal cancer survival was lower in England (69·7%, 69·1-70·3) than in the other three countries (Denmark 72·5%, 71·1-74·0; Sweden 74·1%, 72·7-75·4; and Norway 75·0%, 73·1-76·8). We found no significant differences in survival for patients with stage I disease in any of the four countries. 3-year survival after stage II or III rectal cancer and stage IV colon cancer was consistently lower in England (stage II rectal cancer 86·4%, 95% CI 85·0-87·6; stage III rectal cancer 75·5%, 74·2-76·7; and stage IV colon cancer 20·5%, 19·9-21·1) than in Norway (94·1%, 91·5-96·0; 83·4%, 80·1-86·1; and 33·0%, 31·0-35·1) and Sweden (92·9%, 90·8-94·6; 80·6%, 78·2-82·7; and 23·7%, 22·0-25·3). 3-year survival after stage II rectal cancer and stage IV colon cancer was also lower in England than in Denmark (stage II rectal cancer 91·2%, 88·8-93·1; and stage IV colon cancer 23·5%, 21·9-25·1). The total proportion of patients treated with resectional surgery ranged from 47 803 (68·4%) of 69 867 patients in England to 9582 (81·3%) of 11 786 in Sweden for colon cancer, and from 16 544 (59·9%) of 27 599 in England to 4106 (70·8%) of 5797 in Sweden for rectal cancer. This range was widest for patients older than 75 years (colon cancer 19 078 [59·7%] of 31 946 patients in England to 4429 [80·9%] of 5474 in Sweden; rectal cancer 4663 [45·7%] of 10 195 in England to 1342 [61·9%] of 2169 in Sweden), and the proportion of patients treated with resectional surgery was consistently lowest in England. The age gradient of the decline in the proportion of patients treated with resectional surgery was steeper in England than in the other three countries in all stage categories. In the hypothetical scenario where all patients were treated as in Sweden, given their age, sex, and disease stage, the largest increase in resectional surgery would be for patients with stage III rectal cancer in England (increasing from 70·3% to 88·2%). INTERPRETATION: Survival from colon cancer and rectal cancer in England and colon cancer in Denmark was lower than in Norway and Sweden. Survival paralleled the relative provision of resectional surgery in these countries. Differences in patient selection for surgery, especially in patients older than 75 years or individuals with advanced disease, might partly explain these differences in international colorectal cancer survival.

A taste of Istria, Croatia with author Paola Bacchia
Author Paola Bacchia explores the rich flavours and traditions of the Croatian region.

Published 5 Dec 2021, 06:08 GMT, Updated 9 Dec 2021, 16:23 GMT
At the northern tip of the Adriatic Sea, Istria is placed like a keystone in the folding hills and valleys where Italy, Slovenia, Austria and Croatia meet. Rows of vines and olive trees grow in fields of red earth at the foot of towns built from pale Istrian stone, and the scent of pine and salt mingle where the forests greet the coast.
My father and his family were Italian-Istrians, part of the large population who left Istria after the Second World War, when most of the peninsula was ceded to Yugoslavia. My parents migrated to Australia in 1950, together with other displaced Europeans who were offered free passage in exchange for work. Once in Australia, they formed a community of Istriani, gathering in their newly built homes, by the beach and at picnics, playing card games, drinking homemade wine and sharing the food that connected them to their homeland.

The food I grew up with reflected the cultures that for millennia flourished side by side. Istria has Roman ruins, Hapsburg edifices and Venetian lions carved into the facades of buildings in its west-coast towns. Istria's story is my family's story: my grandfather, Matteo, was born in Istria when it was part of Austria, lived in Istria when it was Italy and left it when it was Yugoslavia. The town of his birth is now in Croatia.
In Istrian kitchens, Venetian seafood stews sit alongside hearty, Hungarian-style goulash; ravioli with ricotta is followed by Balkan flame-grilled meats, and all are accompanied by the vegetables that grow in abundance in the region and desserts that wouldn't look entirely out of place in a Viennese coffeeshop.
Istria, Recipes and stories from the hidden heart of Italy, Slovenia and Croatia is published by Smith Street Books, £26.

Three recipes to try from the book
1. Pljukanci
This dense and slightly chewy hand-rolled pasta is spindle-shaped: fat in the middle and tapered at either end. Pljukanci is traditionally served with braised oxtail or chicken ragu, but is just as delicious in a buttery sauce with prawns, mushrooms or asparagus.
2. Jota
When Alpine winds blow down the west coast of Istria, you'll find people warming themselves with a bowl of jota: a comforting soup thick with beans and potatoes, flavoured with a ham hock or cured pork sausage, and balanced with the acidity of sauerkraut.
3. Palacinke
In Istrian homes, you'll find these thin crepes spread with jam or lemon juice and sprinkled with sugar. But on restaurant dessert menus, they're filled with cherries or blackberries, then rolled up or folded and served warm, doused in a fruit reduction and topped with ice cream.
Istrian truffles can be found around the hilltop town of Motovun and are as good as those in Italy or France. Serve shaved on pasta, gnocchi or eggs.

Op-Ed: Quad Playlist
Elijah Romero
BHS' Leadership group playing music.
It's common knowledge that the music played in the quad is predominantly PG and family-friendly. But the main consensus is that most of the music is subpar. The good songs are constantly on repeat, so you get tired of them quickly. Some examples are songs like "As It Was" by Harry Styles or the one song everyone knows by Pharrell, "Happy". The combination results in the school's quad playlist being less than desirable.
A common complaint about the playlist is the diversity. Most times diversity is positive but for their music choice, it's an issue. Some days it's a 90's pop song followed by rap, then rock, and then back to 90's pop. The worst part is that they don't let the songs finish. There is no coordination in the music selection. The Bullard student community has a wide range of musical tastes, so not everyone will like certain genres, but we could make each day a different genre to fulfill everyone's preferences.
The next problem is the criteria for the music selection. Maxwell Major, a leadership student, stated that "The music has to be extremely clean. Clean enough for kids to listen to." Which rules out any NSFW (Not safe for work) songs. This is an obvious and fair regulation, but doubling down and prohibiting radio edits that restrict songs that are censored to be less vulgar from being played on stage is questionable. There have been exceptions in the past but for the most part, the lack of variety has held back the Quad Playlist from becoming a favorite staple of BHS. The minority of Bullard that has an uncommon taste in a specific music genre is normally at the far ends of the campus or in classrooms, so they don't hear it anyways.
We all hear the music without an opinion on the music choice. So, the fact that 4 people decide what 3000 people listen to is quite unfair. The majority have been complaining about the selection. Eventually, there should be changes made to the music policy because plenty of music that is released weekly should grow the playlist. Everyone knows that we aren't PG. Or, we could be more lenient with the radio edit rule. At the end of the day, we're at least radio edit worthy.

Title Fountain Green The Richest Little Town in Sanpete County
Description FOUNTAIN GREEN THE RICHEST LITTLE TOWN IN SANPETE COUNTY. Merdith O. Coleman Box 327 Ephraim, UT 84627 Non-Professional Division Third Place Historical Essay April, 1920, I was born in Fountain Green, Utah, to Lorenzo and Loie Longson. I was the youngest of seven child-ren. In 1922 my mother was stricken with the flu while she was pregnant; the baby, a boy, was born while she was sick, causing her to die. My baby brother died one month later. My father's sister came here to help him get his life organ-ized and talked Dad into- putting me out for adoption. He no sooner signed all papers and let me go and he was sorry he had done so. Aunt Cliff tried to talk him into putting the rest of the children out for adoption also, and he refused. They got into a bitter argument, and Aunt Cliff went back home to Chicago. They never spoke to each other again. My new parents were John W. and Mattie M. Yorgason. I was very happy in my new home. My father and I had things in common: we liked to play records and sing to them. My father also had an accordian that he played by ear. He would play his accordian and we would sing together. My father was born halfway between Fountain Green and Moroni, and he was a direct descendant of James Yorgason, who was one of the first bishops of Sanpete County. Some of my earliest memories are of my father telling of when he was a boy in Sanpete County, how he herded cows all day barefooted, then bring them home to be milked at night. I loved to sit on his knee and listen. When I was a small girl, I can remember the children's dance in the town dance hall, which was located next to and adjoining the show house. The dance hall in recent years was the General Store, run by Mr. Rasmussen before he passed away. The Post Office was then around the corner where the barber shop is now. The General Merchantile Store was located between the post office and Our Place Cafe. The store was about 25 feet by 100 to 150 feet long. In this store Mr. Ras- mussen sold then what we would shop in three or four stores for today. As you enter the store, on each side was a counter and across the back was the meat counter. Across the center of the store were large tables. Between the counters and -39-

5/29 – We got out of the elevator and there were the Japanese CARP students welcoming us with applause and shouts of excitement. They were lined up on both sides and high fived us as we walked into the "Shibuya Mission Center." This is Shibuya's main outreach center where people can come to learn more about themselves and the Divine Principle.
Finding My True Self
Today, we got a chance to experience the outreach system in Japan. We were divided into groups of 6 (3 Americans and 3 Japanese students) to go out in the bustling city of Shibuya to reach out to people and invite them to a seminar entitled, "Finding my True Self." When we approached people, we invited them to take a quick survey where we asked them questions like, "How satisfied are you with you life currently? What brings you joy in life?" This opened up interesting conversations with them and we invited them to follow-up with attending the seminar.
American and Japanese students doing outreach in the local area.
Some students even went out to distribute flyers. Although it was busy, people took the time to hear us out and took interest in our seminar. Many of the CARP America members could not speak Japanese so it was a struggle to communicate and connect freely from the heart.
"I was talking to the people and there was so much that I wanted to say but due to language barrier I was not able to fully get my feelings across. That reminded me of some of the Japanese mothers back in America. Even though they could not understand or speak the language so well, they still poured their heart out into trying to connect with the people. Through this experience, I could understand how hard these mothers have worked as missionaries in a foreign land." – Pedro
Visiting Holy Grounds
Two thirds of the group did outreach and the rest visited a Holy Ground in Meijingu. We were told that the original holy ground had been an area near a shrine but this area was eventually blocked off for other uses so people could not access it anymore. Rev. Kuboki, the first President of Family Federation Japan prayed to God to find another place for the Holy Ground and then found this tree.
There was a deep cut in the tree from when communists tried to cut it down years ago.
As the story and history goes, while some CARP members were praying there, some communists tried to cut down the tree to prevent people from praying there. However, the CARP members created a barricade together to protect the tree. The tree was left with a deep gash but it still stands tall today thanks to the great determination of the early CARP members.
After hearing this story about the CARP members risking their lives to save the tree and this holy spot of prayer, we immediately started praying at the tree.
"I was inspired by the story of the CARP members who fought to protect the tree. The communist group was so intent on destroying the holy ground that they even used violence. The Japanese CARP members could have gotten hurt but they still chose to protect the Holy Ground. It made me realize how deep their heart is for True Parents and for God. It made me want to work harder to be more passionate."
This is the site where CARP members used as a holy site to pray.
All the groups gathered back for dinner at the center. There we shared pizza, fun, laughter, and songs. Everyone showed their talents through singing, playing piano, playing yoyo, and dancing.
At the end, the President of CARP America, Naokimi Ushiroda, presented an English text of one of the Holy Scriptures to the director of the Shibuya Mission Center, Mr. Hori. Mr. Hori concluded the evening saying,
"This is a very historical and happy day. This center was built to be able to host parties like these. So today, the purpose of creating this mission center was realized thanks to you!"

Best Surf Hostel in Portugal
Marias − History and Tradition
The house was initially a haystack used by Maria da "Passarinha", as a support warehouse to the traditional grocer's shop and tavern.
Maria da "Passarinha" was my grandfather's grandmother.
His name was Amadeu da Cunha Serralheiro, best known as Amadeu da "Passarinha", who was raised from an early age by his grandmother.
The nickname "Passarinha" was given because the family was professionally related to frigates in Lisbon. When a frigate was seen in the Tejo River full of gulls, Maria probably said that there were a lot of "passarinhas" (little birds) on the boat.
This is why the nickname appeared and was always associated to the whole family and the following generations.
In 1950 Amadeu da "Passarinha" bought the haystack and built the house you see today where he lived with his family.
Amadeu da "Passarinha" and my grandmother Maria Cunha followed the tradition and kept the family business. Afterwards they had other types of businesses: a café, a bed and breakfast and a sand exploiting business. With this business they also fabricated bricks and some of them were used to build this house.
In their family house, my grandparents had three daughters and a son: Maria Amélia, Maria da Conceição, Maria da Grácia and João Serralheiro. Later on, when the children were married and left home, my grandparents lived on the ground floor and rented the bedrooms on the first floor, where the hostel is right now.

Toronto's housing market has become a target for money laundering or "snow washing," thanks to anonymous property ownership, weak regulation and lax enforcement, according to a new study.
Since 2008, $28.4 billion worth of housing was acquired in the Toronto region largely through private entities where owners can remain anonymous, according to a report released Thursday by Transparency International Canada, Canadians for Tax Fairness and Publish What You Pay Canada.
In that period, $9.8 billion of housing was bought by companies through cash purchases, largely bypassing anti-money laundering checks on fund sources and beneficial owners, according to the study, which analyzed more than 1.4 million residential sales dating back to 2008.
"Canada's lack of beneficial ownership transparency makes our entire country an attractive destination for money laundering," according to the report. While some vacant properties in Toronto might sit as investments for legitimate money, a worrying amount slips past regulators who do not really know who owns what, nor how much is being used for money laundering and tax evasion, it said.
The report follows a similar one on Vancouver in 2016 that revealed almost half of the city's most valuable property owners were unknown and hiding behind shell companies, trusts and nominee owners. This led to greater enforcement from the provincial government, including proposing a registry for beneficial owners for property.
The Toronto housing market has ranked among the least affordable in the world and became a target for speculative investment. The provincial government brought in a foreign-buyers tax in 2017 and instituted audits of real estate speculators in the region.
The report argues that more measures should be implemented to shed light on the extent of anonymous ownership in the market, which includes requiring disclosure of beneficial owners of real estate as a prerequisite for any properties transfers.
The Toronto Real Estate Board said in a statement that it would welcome a discussion with other housing market stakeholders, including the government, about requiring "beneficial" owners to identify themselves to land title authorities.
The federal budget tabled on Tuesday included a proposal to spend US$16.9 million on strengthening the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada that would help boost scrutiny of the real estate and casino sectors with a focus on British Columbia.

Q: Update local branch from merge conflicts resolved in the Github UI I resolved some merge conflicts on the Github UI, but my local files are not showing these changes after a git pull or a git fetch.
How do you update your local files to reflect merge conflicts resolved on the Github UI?

A: From "Resolving a merge conflict on GitHub, make sure you have clicked on:

*

*"Mark as resolved." when you are done resolving a conflict.

*" Commit merge" when you have resolved all conflcits

Without that step, there would be no new merge commit done, which means no new commit for you to pull or fetch.
And look for the right branch:

When you resolve a merge conflict on GitHub, the entire base branch of your pull request is merged into the head branch, even if the head branch is the default branch of your repository, like master, or a protected branch. Make sure you really want to commit to this branch.

The Modern 48 Laws of Power W/ Examples (Part 2)
This is the modern 48 Laws of Power.
It's the second installment of our "48 Laws of Power for modern Machiavellian" series.
This series takes Greene's work "The 48 Laws of Power" and revisits it with a more modern look and more contemporary examples.
See here the first installment of the modernized 48 Laws of Power.
Law #17: Be Friendly, But Hold Onto The Tools of Coercive Power
Law #18: Build A Fortress – Then Pretend You Do It For The Peasants
Law #19: Know Who You're Dealing With – Not Everyone Deserves Your Time
Law #20: Take Sides Strategically – Or Become The Referee
Law #21: Play Dumb If You're Smart, And Smart If You're Dumb
Law #23: Stick to Your Goals. Continuity of Effort Builds Empires
Law #24: Learn Office Politics, But Never To The Detriment of Skills & Results
Law #25: Find A Profitable Niche, Then Fabricate An Identity For Its Marketing
Law #26: CYA Legally, Then Dirty Your Hands With Unethical But Profitable Deeds
Law #27: Create A Cult Of Short Term Mood Fixes & Feel-Good Emptiness
Law #30: Make Your Accomplishment Inspirational – They Can Do It Too!
✘ Law 17: Keep others in suspended terror: cultivate an air of unpredictability.
✔ Law 17: Manage through goodwill, But make sure you hold onto the tools of coercive power, too
Law of Power #17. Explained
The original law worked better with old power.
When an absolute monarch decided for life or death with the direction of his thumb, an "air of unpredictability" could reduce his subjects to trembling Jell-O in his presence.
In that sense, suspended terror worked to increase the monarch's power in the immediate short term, silencing all possible dissent.
In the long term though it was likely to make the monarch's power shakier because that approach leads to poorer decision making and increases the risks of assassinations.
In any case, making it work today is both difficult and even less effective.
Unpredictability in today's society is most likely to become "fickleness", or pure "craziness".
And the same is true for government leaders.
With a globalized world and international trade at historical highs, it's easier for a consortium of states to impose debilitating sanctions on rogue players even without having to go to war.
There is however still a place today for an "air of unpredictability".
In street gangs.
Having a reputation of a dogged, crazy fighter, will paradoxically lead to fewer fights.
Indeed, since few people want to mess with madness, a vastly underrated self-defense technique is to scream like a possessed madman before a possible attack.
But power built on unpredictability is often limited, even in the underworld.
Because people don't usually want to be led by "unpredictable schizophrenics".
So, albeit there are exceptions, real power most often goes to more even-minded leaders.
This is a movie scene, but Nicolas Cage correctly explains this concept.
The realpolitik guide to management
Law of Power #17. Bad Example: Saddam Hussein & Trump
Saddam Hussein kept his neighbors on suspended terror.
But his wars pissed off the international community, leading to biting sanctions and, eventually, a military intervention that delivered Saddam a searing defeat (and later cost him his life).
Keeping others in terror indeed does not work as well if you're not very powerful to begin with.
And if you are very powerful… Then you have better strategies at your disposal.
It's also worth noting that Saddam's "terrorizing approach" made for a rather paranoid and fearful leader.
Saddam created an army reporting directly to him to defend against internal dissent.
As a sign of his paranoia, he kept the tanks around Bagdad purposefully low in ammunition in case they were going to turn on him.
The Personal Terror of Donald Trump
Trump cannot be compared to Saddam, of course.
But his erratic behavior could certainly fit the definition of "an air of unpredictability", and several White House insiders testify that many fear for their jobs.
Trump's fickleness is not helping him any, though.
The "terror" that he might say or do something stupid does not support Trump's leadership.
And it does not help him to get things done with others and through others.
Because modern power in democracies as much as in business is enhanced by alliances and support, and it's hard to form a strong web of allies while being unpredictable.
Indeed, modern power that lasts is best served by a web of alliances and a certain smoothness and constancy of operations.
Trump VS Rapinoe (how aggression creates its own enemies)
Trump's evidence that adversarial negotiations suck
The Solution? Positive Collaboration Supported By Coercion
Machiavelli famously said that being feared is better than being liked.
The beautiful thing though is that the two are not opposites.
And you can be both.
This is how high-quality power, the type of power that lasts and grows, acts.
Enlightened leadership prefers friendly relationships and always approaches with a smile.
But it's not naive friendliness: it's friendliness backed by strength.
At a very raw level, this is the stance:
I come with a smile and a gift looking for collaboration because that's best for both.
But if you try to f*ck me up, then, well… I'm also carrying a gun.
Even some of the most thriving underworld organizations adopt this approach.
Think of The Godfather.
Albeit it's a movie, that's exactly how the mafia became so entrenched and successful in Sicily: its terror was for the enemies only.
The Godfather mostly sought to do business win-win and always sought to provide value, too.
And that's how Tom Hagen, the family's lawyer, approached Waltz:
Had Waltz played along, the transaction might have been win-win.
It's only when Waltz refuses that terror comes into play.
Your friendly handshake on the table will go much further if you keep the revolver in the drawer
✘ Law 18: Do not build fortresses to protect yourself – isolation is dangerous.
✔ Law 18: Fortress your life by covering your downsides. And then enjoy life carefree
Robert Greene intends "fortress" more figuratively.
Because, literally, castles and walled cities (mostly) worked, and they have been bastions of civilization for centuries.
But let's move to today.
What do we intend today for a fortress?
It could still be taken literally, like the bunkers that some wealthy people love to arm themselves with.
Or we might consider fortress in a wider sense, including modern contracts such as:
Golden parachutes
No performance clauses
These are all examples of a "fortress mentality", in the sense of "preparing for the worst-case scenario".
Some authors also speak of healthy intimate relationships as an emotional power base with which to more confidently face the world -to which we might refer to as "emotional fortress"-.
The 21st century version of a fortress is a great approach to acquire and keep power in life, and it's exactly how powerful men think.
Once you have a fortress to retreat to, figurative or not, you can more safely and more confidently live outside of it.
With a prenup, for example, you can enjoy the relationship worries-free, and with golden parachutes you can work without fear of being sacked.
And you can still keep great relationships with the non-fortress people by pretending you're just like them.
Which is what many politicians do:
Law #18. Example: To Get Modern Fortresses, Pretend You Do It For The Peasants
Look at how Hillary pitches her campaign:
Some politicians want power for power's sake.
And some of them don't even plan on supporting the middle class and the average citizens.
Yet, if they want to swing for the presidential palaces -the modern fortresses- they need the citizens' vote.
And that's when you'll see them stepping out of their strongholds and mingling with the commoners, pretending to be just like them.
Most commoners don't see the game and feel blessed for being the recipients of such generosity.
Look at this example of Obama pretending to be "just one of the guys":
Notice the boom mics placed around the place, including behind the counter (minute 1:06, 1:38).
Do those suggest a truly "improvised pop-in by the president", or more like an elaborate PR scheme to shore up political support?
To me, it feels more like the latter.
But it worked.
Look at the comments:
How much more gullible can a guy get?
I'd have been super bummed if Obama disrupted my dinner just so he could play his "I'm just like you" game.
✘ Law 19: Know who you're dealing with- do not offend the wrong person.
✔ Law 19: Not everyone deserves your time. Make sure you know early on who does and who doesn't
Offending the wrong person was much more dangerous in the ancient world, when power could decide for life or death on a whim.
Granted, you still don't want to offend the wrong person, with this iconic scene from the Godfather proving the point:
But still, I find the mindset behind the original law to be rather limiting.
The original law is motivated by fear and subordinates one's goals to others.
But real power players worry less about offending others than achieving their objectives.
And second, the better and more powerful you get, the more you start thinking in terms of who deserves your time.
My usual stance is: be kind to everyone, and find out early who they are.
Because there is an element of exchange in life, and you want to know if people taking your time are also going to give something.
The law of social exchange
WIIFM
Freeloaders and examples
✘ Law 20: Do not commit to anyone.
✔ Law 20: Study the situation, then make your strategic commitment. Alternatively, you position yourself as the mediator
Robert Greene is right when he says this:
Only fools jump in too early taking this or that side
That's the equivalent of betting on the black or red, and you lose a tremendous amount of power by giving your support away too early and too cheap.
So yes, this law adapts well to modernity.
But there is one step above the noncommittal game (second example).
Law #20 Example: Italy As Realpolitiker (WWI) & Fool (WWII)
As long as you remain outside of the fray, you are the big prize courted by all sides.
And this is exactly what Italy got with its noncommittal game during WWI.
The war saw Austra/Germany pitted against France/England, and Italy spoke and negotiated with both.
Italy was picking sides based on convenience, best offer on the table and likelihood of victory.
And it was happy to let everyone know about it, because that increased the offers on the table.
Italy was using commitment as a bargaining chip.
Compare it to Italy in the second world war, which jumped in right away based on ideology (nazi-fascism).
And that proved disastrous.
Go one level up: be the referee, not the player
The next level of the noncommittal game is taking the referee or mediator role.
Smart power players prefer taking the mediator role rather than taking sides and getting mired in the war.
If you play your role well, you can become the referee of the contest, a role that everyone looks up to.
The mediator does not fight himself, but by influencing the terms of negotiation and the rules of the game, it can defend its interests at no costs while increasing its political clout and soft power.
The US played it several times after WWII as the world's major superpower, and it's indeed a role naturally suited for the strongest party.
Smaller Players As Mediators
Albeit not easy, smaller can sometimes be mediators, too.
It takes smarts and a certain element of boldness, as you have to show up with the attitude of being a righteous moral authority (a hideous power move, BTW).
Putin tried to play the mediator often.
For example, he met the North Korean's president when US-NK relations seemed to sour and he openly stated he wanted to broker the nuclear deal.
And Benito Mussolini dramatically boosted his power and international political standing playing mediator between the more extremist Hitler and the democratic powers (see Munich Agreement).
Negotiation power moves
The mediator role is a "soft" version of the vote counter.
Exception: Picking side without anyone else knowing it
Of course, there are almost always exceptions.
And if you can pick side without anyone else knowing it, than you got nothing to lose.
If that side wins, you got a powerful ally.
If it loses, nobody knew what you did.
See it in action:
✘ Law 21: Play a sucker to catch a sucker- seem dumber than your mark.
✔ Law 21: Discover people's true intentions by posing as a victim. Make your enemies feel safer by looking weaker, then attack
This one of my favorite laws.
And in a world of braggarts and alpha male posturers, it's way underrated.
One of my favorite ways of using this law is to test people.
You make yourself look clueless on purpose and then observe their behavior.
If they help and explain, it might mean you're dealing with principled individuals.
If they try to take advantage of it, you know you must enter into your "Machiaveli mode" (article on "Machiavelli mode" to follow).
The Caveat of Law of Power #21: Always Invert Play/Reality
Here is a caveat.
You want to look dumber strategically and only when in reality you're smart and ready to profit from your opponent's aggression.
Because looking dumb will invite aggression, and if you're actually dumb and unprepared, then… You see the problem.
On the other hand, when you're dumb and defenseless, playing strong and smart might the best option and might fend off an attacker looking for easy victims.
Example of Strategic Strength Play: The Nonexistent Lawyer
The last time I got fired I told my employer I needed more time to get back to them because my lawyer was off for two days.
But I didn't actually have a lawyer.
I played that game to increase the chances that my employer wouldn't try to screw me over (ie.: being weak but strategically posing as stronger).
Law of Power #21 Example: Women Playing Damsel in Distress
This is a common game womne play.
It consists of playing dumb and weak to make him act, care and take care.
Yeah, with most men it works very well.
How women control men and relationships
But if you're a man, don't despair, men can use this technique as well.
People love to feel strong.
Position yourself like the emotional validator of their strengths/skills, and you can recruit them to do your work.
✘ Law 23: Concentrate your forces.
✔ Law 23: Find something you love and stick with it over the long run. Mastery translates well into money and power
Law of Power #23 Explained
The law of power #23 applies to modernity very well.
As a matter of fact, with today's endless distractions and whole industries built on time-wasting, it might apply to the 21st century more than ever.
Deep Work
Values-based business
✘ Law 24: Play the perfect courtier
✔ Law 24: Develop your emotional intelligence and social skills, they are fundamental to your life's quality. But never forget hard skills and results.
Law of Power #24. Explanation
This law only applies to modernity at 50%.
In the old courts, politics might have been 95% of power.
Back then metrics and KPIs were poor or non-existent and it was all about who the king favored and who influenced the king the most.
Today the "perfect courier" who only plays politics fails far more times than he succeeds (some high-functioning sociopaths can sometimes be the exceptions, there is one example in Social Power).
Most power players today marry politics with results and skills, and you should aim at doing the same.
✘ Law 25: Re-create yourself.
✔ Law 26: Find something that sells, and then create an identity around your product. If you're a public persona, best to stick with one identity
Recreating yourself worked better in the past, when people couldn't keep track of your changes.
You could move to a new city, and you would start from scratch.
Even as a famous person or as a con artist.
But today, whatever you were or did is readily available with an Internet search.
And the more success you get, the more people will scrutinize your past, making the re-creation all the more dangerous.
Indeed, few people today achieve power and success with endless recreations.
The most successful Machiavellians of the 21st century do the opposite: they first find something that sells, and then attach an identity to it.
This is a shortcut to actual mastery, but in the digital world identities and authority can be faked.
Law of Power #25 Example: Jon Gray of "Men Are From Mars"
Jon Gray penned "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus".
That's the most popular book ever in the relationship genre.
Quite striking, if you consider that Gray lacked any meaningful background on the topic.
But John Gray quickly worked to change that.
He doubled down on relationships and acquired the references.
"Acquired" here might be quite literal, here, with Gray's master degree shrouded in mystery and his Ph.D. awarded on correspondence from a non-accredited and now-defunct institution.
Gray also joined the American Counseling Association and the International Association of Marriage and Family Counselors, and later founded his own relationship institute where he took the important-sounding title of "president".
Where am I going with this?
If John Gray had kept moving and "recreating" himself, he would have lost all authority on relationships and, with his authority, lost his lucrative royalties and speaking engagements.
This is no bashing of John Gray.
The guy understands genders better than most academics. Much of Gray's criticism is driven by the nonsensical notion that genders & people are born mostly the same (also see "The Blank Slate").
Gray is not the exception, but the rule of how many coaches, self-help gurus and marketers operate.
Have you noticed how almost any entrepreneur with products linked to his expertise seems to have such a compelling, inspiring story on how they started doing what they're doing?
They struggled with this or that, fought without reprieve, learned and improved… Until they finally achieved their dreams.
And now… Now they want to sell you their product to do the same.
Of course, sometimes those stories are true.
But the vast majority of times those stories are "romanticized", and many other times the identities are custom-made from scratch.
They are sales pitches, and the sellers' identities are part of the marketing.
Tai Lopez Manipulation Techniques
Chandler and his convenient "friend's death" in "Published"
✘ Law 26: Keep your hands clean.
✔ Law 26: Keep your hands clean of small-time offenses, dirty them for good once you're ready for the once in a lifetime hit
There are plenty of people who keep their hands clean all their life.
They make it such a big deal of respecting the law, acting morally and never saying anything out of place.
In truth, many of these proud "law-abiding citizens" go to swell the rank and files of average people.
And this is exactly what "The Goodfellas" intro describes.
But this is not how many powerful men operate.
While many good citizens care about being prosocial and keeping a prosocial image, many type-a personalities care more about power and social climbing than about what you think.
Their worry is not "staying clean", their worry is not getting caught once their hands get dirty.
Law of Power #26 Example: Jho Low Stained His Hands & Happily Disappeared
Your reputation only matters if you stain your hands under your real name, if people find out or… If you stick around.
Jho Low, POS that he is, stained his hands big time.
Eventually, everyone knew about it, but he did it well and before police could catch up, he was gone.
He is "believed" to be in China.
But wherever he is, he is enjoying a lavish lifestyle financed by billions he stole from the people he was supposed to serve.
Unluckily, the truth is that we live in a world were staining your hands with a well-concocted plan works.
Legal Hands-Staining
Alternatively, you can simply take care that you stain your hands legally.
If people won't be able to recoup the fruits of your unethical deeds, then you can dirty your hands as unethically as you please.
And this is how the real power players do it.
They hide money in fiscal paradises, they lobby politicians, and they leverage loopholes.
You'll never find out and, if you do, nobody will be able to do a thing about it.
One example?
The Clinton Foundation, legally providing the Clintons with the immense type of power and leverage that only billions of dollars can.
✘ Law 27: Play on people's need to believe to create a cult-like following.
✔ Law 27: The appeal of real solutions which require hard work is limited. The mass appeal is in the quick fix and in the "feel good" industry
This one depends on how you define "cult".
In the strict sense of the term, creating a cult-like following was easier in ancient times.
People were more gullible before science and mass-education.
Sure, it's still doable today and there are plenty of modern hard-core cults.
But if you aim at being a high-quality individual, you'd have to wonder today: who is going to follow a cult?
And if you are reading here, you probably will realize that cult-followers are not the type of people you want to spend most of your time with.
Law of Power #27 Example: The Self-Help Cult of Inspiration (Jay Shetty)
If we go for a "softer" definition of a cult, then you're in luck.
There is an endless supply of people ready and willing to idolize the latest charismatic, deep-sounding guru teaching them how to think and how to live their lives.
As a matter of fact, our digital world is the best era in history for self-help gurus to gather a following as they can leverage digital virality.
For those who choose this path to power and influence, there is no need to worry about checking facts and actually helping people over the long term.
The best cults indeed don't change people for good: they deliver short-term fixes that keep them back for more of the same "spin your wheels" inspiration.
Try to listen to self-styled "urban monk" Jay Jetty speaking:
"The paradox of our times is that we have more degrees but less sense. More knowledge but less judgment.
More experts but less solutions.
Tried to clean up the air but polluted our soul
That's, my friends, is emptiness made into time-wasting motivation.
And other self-help gurus are only marginally better.
Take Brendon Burchard, whose books are a mumble jumbo of repackaged self-help but who can call himself a "New York Time bestseller" thanks to his cult-like followers.
And some of these self-help gurus are not just time-wasters but actually harmful (see my review of Marie Forleo).
Self-help myths
Pop-psychology myths
✘ Law 30: Make your accomplishments seem effortless.
✔ Law 30: Position your accomplishments as the final fruits of a mighty struggle and adverse fate, which you only conquered thanks to relentless drive, motivation and hard work
The original law does not reflect modernity too well.
Of course, people still love and respect talent.
Everyone unconsciously envies and respects "good genes".
And that's part of the issue with it.
Some people will be looking for ways to discount and discredit success from talent.
"Oh, yeah, he was born good-looking", they'll say.
Or "he won because he's bigger".
But as a hard-working underdog you are tougher to discredit.
And, most of all, you send a much more appealing message: that if you made it, so can anyone else.
It today's cultural climate, if you want to be admired and revered across the board, you need to drop the natural talent angle.
You're better instead to position yourself like you've fought insurmountable odds with endless dedication, grit, and power of perseverance.
And then end your spiel with a wink to the audience: they can do it too.
Law of Power #30 Example: Gary Vee & Hustle Porn
Almost every successful influencer today talks about struggle, hustle and hard work.
A mention to Gary Vee, the king of "no talent, all hard work" is mandatory here:
Please note this is NO bashing of hard work, which is often a precondition.
But the same is true for Tom Bylieu, Tony Robbins and most everyone else.
Heck, even Will Smith had to toe the "hustle porn" line when he wanted to broaden his appeal beyond simple "Holywood celeb status".
One of his most famous quotes runs:
And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic.
You know, while the other guy's sleeping?
I'm working.
Sure one might wonder mr. Smith must also sleep at times?
So, yes, in this day and age, when you talk about money and success, you are better off bragging about work ethics than pretending it was all talent.
This is NO bashing of hard work, which is often a precondition and which can also be very fulfilling (see my monk mode for the past 2 years).
This is the second installment of the modern 48 Laws of Power.
I skipped a couple of laws as they were either valid and didn't need any amendment, or they didn't add enough value to make it in here.
Here is the first volume of updated Laws of Power with laws 1 to 16.
Here is the third and last installment
This article, as much as this website, is not an invitation to act amorally.
This is a dispassionate description of power dynamics and how some power-seeking individuals operate.
There are otherwise plenty of ways to acquire power ethically and that's what I invite readers to seek.

Knitters save endangered penguins' lives
April 7, 2006 — 11.49pm
A worldwide army of little old ladies has found some far more appreciative recipients than grandchildren for their handknitted woollen jumpers.
Their loving efforts to help sick little penguins off the southern coast of Australia have given new meaning to the term penguin suit.
About 26,000 little, or fairy, penguins - which at up to 33cm tall are the world's smallest penguin species - make their home on and around Philip Island Nature Park, a major tourist attraction about 80km south-east of Melbourne.
Each evening at sunset, up to 2,000 penguins swim ashore at Summerland Beach and waddle up to their sand-dune burrows, delighting more than half a million visitors each year.
But every month, nature park volunteers find one or two penguins covered in oil.
And occasionally a major spill leaves hundreds in peril.
A German shipping company was last year fined more than $1 million for a 2003 spill at Philip Island that covered 12km of the coast, coating 24 penguins and killing three.
It was the latest of about half a dozen significant spills to have plagued the area in the last decade, including one in December 2001 that coated 360 penguins and another in 2000 that affected more than 200 and killed 12.
It's at these times that the grey army's knitting skills come in handy.
Usually the little penguins' dark blue waterproof feathers keep their skin absolutely dry and able to cope with the bitterly cold water of Bass Strait.
But the oil - as well as its removal process - interferes with their natural insulation, and the penguins, who swim straight to shore after encountering a spill, are usually cold, hungry and highly distressed when they are found, program coordinator Lyn Blom said.
Despite the volunteers' best efforts, until a few years ago casualties were high.
But that changed in 1999 when the nature park put out a call for knitters to turn their attention from snowflake sweaters and tea cozies to penguin jumpers.
The doll size, tight-fitting 100 per cent wool sweaters keep the penguins warm during the rehabilitation process and stop them preening and ingesting the poisonous oil, and lifts their survival rate to about 98 per cent.
Getting the jumpers on can be a struggle as the one kilogram animals are more feisty than they look, Ms Blom said.
"They look small and cute, but they have small person syndrome and they can be nasty," she said.
"They peck and they fight. You have to be pretty strong to survive in the ocean, they have to be pretty savvy and look after themselves and they do."
Distressed penguins might not care about the latest vogue colours, but that doesn't stop Ms Blom's troop of committed volunteers - mostly ladies in their "autumn years" with plenty of spare time - letting their creativity swim free.
The knitters continually push the fashion envelope with matching bride and groom outfits, AFL teams, and, from one elderly English woman, "the whole Manchester United soccer team".
Ornate jumpers with accessories the penguins might catch their bills on are used to dress stuffed penguin toys and are sold in the gift shop to raise money for the penguin rehabilitation centre.
Jumpers arrive in packages from all over the world, but the needles fly fastest in Canada and the United Kingdom, with United States and Norway also proficient pullover producers, Ms Blom said.
East Ballina local Theresa Robertson recently added about 15 of the "fancy" variety to Ms Blom's collection.
"I did a Balmain black and gold jumper, because I'm a Balmain rugby league fan," she said.
"I did all the clubs in Sydney, like the Penrith and North Sydney clubs. My husband told me the colours. They turned out really nice."
"I thought it would be nice to see all those penguins in all those little club jumpers, them running around in the football club colours."
The retiree and experienced knitter made one jumper a night sitting in front of the television. Each takes about four hours.
But the most prolific donor is a woman from Port Augusta, who has knitted 10 jumpers every fortnight - 260 a year - for the past three years, while members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Coffs Harbour recently passed the 1,600 mark.
And after the BBC put out a request for penguin jumpers, Ms Blom said she picked up three whole bails from customs.
"People really get into it," she said.
"Lots of lovely old ladies love it when people ask them what they are knitting, and they say `it's a jumper for a penguin'.
"Once the word goes out, you get plenty of helpers. The knitting needles started and they've never stopped."

Q: How to combine DISTINCT and ORDER BY for @ManyToOne associations in JPA Criteria API? I want to build a dynamic filter using the Spring Specification and the JPA CriteriaBuilder. But have some problems:

*

*My root class Product has a relation with Images @OneToMany, so I fetch results with duplicates. I decided to use Distinct. It worked, but there is a new problem:

*My root class product has also a relation with ProductDetails @ManyToOne and when I use orderBy  productDetails.price in my query, I have next errors:

2019-10-22 17:51:36.391 ERROR 14258 --- [nio-8080-exec-5] o.h.engine.jdbc.spi.SqlExceptionHelper   : Expression #1 of ORDER BY clause is not in SELECT list, references column 'glasses.productdet1_.price' which is not in SELECT list; this is incompatible with DISTINCT
2019-10-22 17:51:36.419 ERROR 14258 --- [nio-8080-exec-5] o.a.c.c.C.[.[.[/].[dispatcherServlet]    : Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaSystemException: could not extract ResultSet; nested exception is org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: could not extract ResultSet] with root cause

Can someone help me to solve my problem? Because I tried everything I could...
Thanks in advance!

A: You need to JOIN FETCH the @ManyToOne association that you need to order by since the SQL ORDER BY clause is executed after the SELECT clause gets evaluated.
So instead of this:
Join<Product, ProductDetails> productDetailsJoin = root
.join(
    Product_.productDetails,
    JoinType.LEFT
);

You need to have it like this:
Join<Product, ProductDetails> productDetailsJoin = (Join<Product, ProductDetails>) root
.fetch(
    Product_.productDetails,
    JoinType.LEFT
);

The cast is required as the fetch method returns a javax.persistence.criteria.Fetch reference, and you need a Join reference instead.
