title:  "Find all tables and its child tables referencing a given table "
date:   2015-11-30 15:53:00
categories: Oracle
---

Scenario: *An requirement states "to delete the data from a table which is referenced by different tables".*

Well, to delete records in Database is believed to be an simple job by *"Delete FROM table_name"*. But the prerequisite is that the table should not be referenced by any other tables otherwise it may cause the "foreign key violation" while trying to delete the table. Particularly, a given tables with lots of child tables and so does these child tables, though it's a bad design. Then it would be a nightmare to delete specific records in the given table.

Before going thru, we should have an clear view on how the reference constraints is maintained in Oracle. The key system table is ***ALL_CONSTRAINTS***.

>**ALL_CONSTRAINTS** describes constraint definitions on tables accessible to the current user.

|   Column           |         Descriptions                                         |
|:-------------------|:-------------------------------------------------------------|
|  CONSTRAINT_TYPE   | * C (check constraint on a table)                            |
|                    | * P (primary key)                                            |
|                    | * U (unique key)                                             |
|                    | * R (referential integrity)                                  |
|                    | * V (with check option, on a view)                           |
|                    | * O (with read only, on a view)                              |
|  R_CONSTRAINT_NAME | Name of the unique constraint definition for referenced table|
|  CONSTRAINT_NAME   | Name of the constraint definition                            |

There is a hierarchical structure in this table that *R_CONSTRAINT_NAME* indicating the foreign key constraint of the table would be the *CONSTRAINT_NAME* of a table it refers to (note, foreign key must refer to a primary key). By this relationship, we can create a hierarchical query to find out the referenced tables of a given table.

~~~sql
  SELECT CONSTRAINT_NAME,
         TABLE_NAME,
         CONSTRAINT_TYPE,
         R_CONSTRAINT_NAME,
         LEVEL (LVL)
  FROM ALL_CONSTRAINTS
  START WITH TABLE_NAME = 'szTableName' AND CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'P'
  CONNECT BY PRIOR CONSTRAINT_NAME = R_CONSTRAINT_NAME
~~~

To further find out the corresponding primary and foreign key columns, we can use the above result to join with table ***ALL_IND_COLUMNS*** and ***ALL_CONS_COLUMNS***.

~~~sql
SELECT TREE.CONSTRAINT_NAME,
       TREE.TABLE_NAME,
       ACC.COLUMN_NAME,
       TREE.R_CONSTRAINT_NAME,
       AIC.TABLE_NAME,
       AIC.COLUMN_NAME,
       TREE.LVL
FROM
      ALL_IND_COLUMNS AIC,
      ALL_CONS_COLUMNS ACC,
      (
      SELECT CONSTRAINT_NAME, TABLE_NAME, CONSTRAINT_TYPE, R_CONSTRAINT_NAME, LEVEL LVL
      FROM ALL_CONSTRAINTS
      START WITH TABLE_NAME = 'szTableName' AND CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'P'
      CONNECT BY PRIOR CONSTRAINT_NAME = R_CONSTRAINT_NAME
      )Tree
WHERE ACC.CONSTRAINT_NAME = TREE.CONSTRAINT_NAME
AND   AIC.INDEX_NAME = TREE.R_CONSTRAINT_NAME
AND   AIC.COLUMN_POSITION = ACC.POSITION
ORDER BY TREE.TABLE_NAME, TREE.LVL;
~~~

As shown, the hierarchical query result is nested as a Tree table for join operation. This query provides a better performance compared with another solution mentioned in the the following section.

Another solution for retrieving referenced tables of a given table.

~~~sql
  SELECT	AC.Table_Name,		--Source
  	      ACC.Column_Name,	--Source
  	      AIC.Table_Name,		--Ref
  	      AIC.Column_Name,	--Ref
  	      AC.Constraint_Name,	--Source
  	      AC.R_Constraint_Name	--Ref
  FROM	  All_Constraints AC,
        	All_Cons_Columns ACC,
        	All_Ind_Columns AIC,
        	(
        	SELECT	Constraint_Name
        	FROM	All_Constraints
        	WHERE	Table_Name = UPPER(szTableName)
        	AND	Constraint_Type = 'P'
        	) TMP
  WHERE	AC.Constraint_Name = ACC.Constraint_Name
  AND	  AC.Table_Name = ACC.Table_Name
  AND	  AC.R_Constraint_Name = AIC.Index_Name
  AND	  AC.R_Constraint_Name = TMP.Constraint_Name
  AND	  AC.Constraint_Type = 'R'
  AND	  ACC.Position = AIC.Column_Position
  ORDER BY 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6;
~~~

But these two solutions are buggy if there is **self referential constraint** among those tables. Therefore, make sure there is no tables has foreign keys refer to itself or using ***"ON DELETE CASCADE"*** to avoid the problem.

88 British Officers visited Saab in Sweden 11-12 June 2019 UK Defence Academy's Advance Command and Staff Course Visits Saab
Berättelse
An attendee from the Royal Navy writes about their visit to Sweden as part of the UK Defence Academy's Advanced Command and Staff Course visit hosted by Saab
Students and staff from the UK Defence Academy's Advanced Command and Staff Course visited Saab on 11-12 June to learn about its approach to capability development. The group of 88 officers are studying on the Capability and Acquisition module of the prestigious 11 month post-graduate Advanced Command and Staff Course which trains the top 20% of UK Navy, Army, Air Force officers, civil servants, as well as officers from 21 different nations worldwide. These officers will graduate from the Course to take up high profile command and staff appointments in their respective countries, including positions in the acquisition and capability divisions of defence ministries around the globe.
The group was in Sweden and Denmark as part of their Regional Security Exercise, which seeks to develop officers' understanding of how partner nations procure and develop capabilities for their armed forces, and also to learn more about how the defence industries in those countries interact with their host governments and defence ministries. During the visit, the group enjoyed an insightful couple of days at Saab's aviation centre in Linkoping and at its surveillance headquarters in Gothenburg.
At Linkoping, the officers were privileged to listen to an excellent keynote address from the Saab CEO, Mr Hakan Buskhe, which covered SAAB's strategic outlook and international business models. Following Mr Buskhe's address, he was presented with a Joint Services Command and Staff College plaque by the Director of the Advanced Command and Staff Course, Commodore Heber Ackland Royal Navy. After the presentation, the Course had the opportunity to learn more about some of Saab's cutting edge products in the air, land, maritime and training domains with practical demonstrations and hands-on time with the various capabilities on display, including the opportunity to fly in the Gripen simulator.
In Gothenburg, the group were provided with tours of the production facility as well as seminars on Saab's approach to issues such as human factors development and working with the Swedish Ministry of Defence and Defence Materiel Administration (FMV). These informative sessions enabled the students to contrast the Swedish approach to the UK's acquisition processes which they had been studying as part of their course.
The Capability and Acquisition module Director, Group Captain John Dickson, Royal Air Force, said "I would like to thank Saab for being such excellent hosts throughout our visits to Linkoping and Gothenburg, and it has been a fantastic opportunity for our students to learn how an innovative business such as Saab is responding to the needs of both the Swedish and international armed forces through development of some cutting-edge defence technology."
After their visit to Gothenburg, the group visited the Danish Ministry of Defence in Copenhagen before returning back to the UK for the remainder of the course which finishes at the end of July.

Q: After migrating the .NET Core webapp project from .net core 2.2 to 3.1 it cannot establish a socket connection with a remote VM-based app in Azure We have a .NET Core web application deployed as an Azure App Service that we recently migrated from .NET Core 2.2 to .NET Core 3.1. The application makes remote API calls to a private service hosted on an Azure VM over a private IP connected with VNet Integration. There have been no changes to the application code networking layer, and we have verified all firewall rules are set to permit traffic from the App Service. The .NET Core 2.2-based deployment slots connect to the same VM (over private IP) with the same API service and the same VNet without issue. The .NET Core 3.1-based slot can also connect when we reconfigure the firewall rules and the VM to accept connections over the public, internet-facing IP address (this configuration is undesirable for security reasons). However, the .NET Core 3.1-based deployment receives the following exception when connecting via the private IP:

Undercover is a six-part BBC television drama series co-produced with BBC America which was first broadcast beginning 3 April 2016. The series premiered in the United States as a six-hour miniseries on 16 and 17 November 2016 on BBC America; it began its run on the CBC in Canada in August (it has aired Mondays at 9pm/9:30 NT, premiering 22 August 2016) and on Canal + in France since January 2017.

For her performance in the series, Sophie Okonedo won the Royal Television Society Award for Actor: Female in 2017.

Plot
Undercover follows the lives and family of Maya Cobbina, a British lawyer conducting a long-term legal fight to prove the innocence of US death row inmate Rudy Jones, and her husband Nick Johnson. After Cobbina is head-hunted for the position of Director of Public Prosecutions, her husband's past – and the circumstances under which the couple first met twenty years earlier – comes back to haunt him.

Cast
Characters include:

 Maya Cobbina QC (Sophie Okonedo), a criminal law and human rights barrister, later Director of Public Prosecutions
 Nick Johnson (Adrian Lester), a former undercover Detective Sergeant with the Metropolitan Police
 Rudy Jones (Dennis Haysbert), an American prisoner on death row in Louisiana
 Paul Brightman (Derek Riddell), a security service officer and former undercover policeman
 Dominic Carter (Vincent Regan), Nick's handler during his days as an undercover officer
 Robert Greenlaw (Alistair Petrie), the Minister of State for Justice
 Clemency 'Clem' Johnson (Tamara Lawrance), Maya and Nick's 19-year-old daughter
 Dan Johnson (Daniel Ezra), Maya and Nick's 18-year-old son, who has a learning disability
 Ella Johnson (Shannon Hayes), Maya and Nick's youngest child
 Abigail Strickland (Leanne Best), a former undercover Metropolitan Police officer
 John Halliday (Mark Bonnar), the Crown Prosecution Service Chief Executive and Maya's deputy
 Michael Antwi (Sope Dirisu), an anti-racism campaigner
 Julia Redhead (Angel Coulby), a tabloid reporter for the Daily Metro and Maya's best friend
 Jimmy (Phil Davis), an employee in Maya's chambers
 Dr. Francis (John Schwab)

Production
The series was written by Peter Moffat, directed by James Hawes and produced by Richard Stokes.
Moffat took inspiration for the fictional drama from real-life revelations about British police officers who had formed long-term relationships with activists they were investigating while undercover, as well as from the London Metropolitan Police Service's secret surveillance of the family of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence.

Episodes

Critical reception
The opening episode was watched by 5.2 million viewers (a 24.1% share). Writing in British daily newspaper The Guardian, Chitra Ramaswamy admitted: "I came to Peter Moffat's excellent drama knowing nothing and was instantly confused, though gripped nonetheless. Why was it called Undercover when it's about a lawyer on the brink of becoming the first black director of public prosecutions? […] Turns out it's called Undercover because of what awaits Maya at home. […] As well as being the ideal husband, Nick is an ex-undercover cop who has been deceiving his wife for 20 years." She added: "Thankfully Moffat's writing is so good and the direction so assured I didn't mind not having a clue what was going on, even if at times it felt like at least three different dramas were playing out in tandem." Ramaswamy judged Okonedo "a brilliant and criminally underused actor in Britain; warm, honest, fierce yet vulnerable. It's wonderful to see her getting a role she deserves. It's also a testament to Lester that his Nick is so likable, a compassionate family man mired in a hell of his own making."

Adaptations
A South Korean adaptation titled Undercover (produced by JTBC Studios and Story TV) started airing on JTBC since April 23, 2021.

Anti-Trumper Alyssa Milano Accused Trump of Not Paying Taxes, Instantly Regrets It
Despite President Trump's tax documents being leaked earlier this year, the left still accuses him of not paying taxes. Now, anti-Trumper Alyssa Milano accuses Trump of not paying taxes. The only problem is SHE is the one who didn't pay taxes. To make it worse she stiffed her employees.
This news came out when Milano filed a $10 million lawsuit against her former business manager Kenneth Hellie. You see, Milano didn't pay income taxes in 2013 and 2014. On top of that, she didn't make payments for her condo in West Hollywood. She also had a failed home renovation project that lost millions. Wait we're not done yet. She also didn't pay her employees.
Anti-Trumper Alyssa Milano
Milano seems like a typical liberal. She didn't pay anything and now she is blaming it on someone else. According to Variety, her and her husband have millions of dollars of debt and their credit is completely destroyed.
Milano alleges that her financial woes began with a 'home improvement debacle.' Milano says Hellie's poor oversight of the remodeling job caused costs to spiral. She ended up spending $5 million, though the home is worth no more than $3 million.
She also says her accountants failed to notify her of Ventura County building code violations, which lingered for more than five years, resulting in a lien and $376,950 in fines.
Milano alleges that her business manager also failed to pay her federal income taxes in 2013 and 2014. Milano says her employees also complained of late payments, and that Hellie failed to pay her employees' taxes.
Let's look at some of the facts here. Alyssa Milano is a 44-year-old mother of two. She has been working since she was a child, yet she expects us to believe that she was not aware of not paying taxes? Get real!
What makes this even funnier is that Milano accused President Trump of not paying taxes. Think she wishes she could take that claim back? If she spent as much time on her taxes as she does crying about President Trump then she would be in a much better situation.

Kalank Review – A Review of the Hindi Movie Kalank
Whether or not Kalank will meet your expectations is a matter of personal opinion. While its cast is impressive and its packaging is beautiful, the film falls short in terms of nuance when it comes to depicting the Hindu-Muslim equation. Though a passionate and ferocious Muslim is portrayed in the film, it lacks a sense of nuance in the portrayal of this religious conflict. In fact, the movie's only redeeming feature is its surprisingly good storyline.
As a Bollywood film, Kalank is an outstanding example of technical craft. It rolls off some of the year's most beautiful shots. Unfortunately, its intelligent Alia Bhatt cannot make sense of the role of Roop, and her contemporary screen persona clashes with the film's frothy sexual politics. On the plus side, Kalank is filled with clifftop bullfights, expansive Pritam songs, and multigenerational superstars. However, the film's flaws leave it feeling like a carefully-coloured selfie of an industry in flux.
Despite this, Kalank's promise is never lost. A beautiful train carriage scene opens the film, which could have been a nine-part miniseries, and features Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, and Sonakshi Sinha. The film has a complex cast and excellent locations, but the film falls flat when it comes to climaxes and character complexities.
Kalank's production design and cinematography are reminiscent of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's films. While its climactic scenes are visually gorgeous, the film is not historically accurate. It is based on a novel, but the period atmosphere is completely fabricated and overdone. The film's lack of authenticity, however, makes it an unimpressive watch. If you're a Bhansali fan, Kalank might be for you.
A true labor of love, Kalank is an inspirational tale of eternal love, despite its flaws. While it doesn't live up to expectations, it is still a surprisingly moving film. It's worth watching for its beautiful visuals and pacifist message. If you're considering watching Kalank, make sure you're prepared to spend two hours and 48 minutes with it. So, if you're wondering how to rate this film, read on.
The plot of the film is a fascinating story about religious and societal issues. During the pre-partition era, a town called Husnabad is a hotbed of conflict. A Muslim blacksmith named Zafar is in love with a married woman, and the film is based around his efforts to win her over. But, while Roop struggles to find her own freedom in the household, she finds it in the forbidden ghetto of Heera Mandi. In the end, she falls in love with the man, who is played by Varun Dhawan.
While Kalank has an overcrowded multi-star cast, there are also issues with its politics. Its pre-partition setting in Lahore makes it particularly relevant to the Muslim community, and it depicts Muslims as manipulative and repressive. The film's multi-cultural cast also gives it a crowded feel, which makes it more likely to appeal to a worshipful audience in the 1970s. The film's lavish song and dance sequences, mujras, and celebrations of religious tyohars all add to the movie's problem.

This series came to my mind when I ponder on how could I as an artist juggles my role as mother and wife. Graphic works in the process of making involves chemicals that are not only acidic but also smelly. I work in a studio and as a mother I have no choice but to bring my daughter along. I realized that it is not healthy for my daughter to be around these chemicals until I found the perfect substitute for printing ink and it is carbon.
Yes, carbon. Carbon has been my creative buddy for the past three years. Working with carbon made my artistic work hazard free and I can work at home and be with my daughter with no worry of danger, whilst in the same time I can do my other house chores. Carbon technique has been my ideal creative tool, I could scrub it on paper, textile, clothes or even fashion which I am into now. And I also took inspiration for my objects from things I have around the house, from underwear, tshirt, dress, shirt, socks, jeans etc. By creating from daily domestic necessities that I found around the house, I am transforming the ordinary into extraordinary.

Chiltern Wood School is a special school for 190 children and young people with a broad diversity of complex needs, from Profound and Multiple to Moderate Learning Difficulties (PMLD to MLD). We are located on two sites in the High Wycombe area (Downley and Cressex) and cater for pupils from 3 to 19. Our vision is to further develop specialisms within all our departments, which are as follows:
Downley (co-located with The Downley School):
PMLD (age 3 – 19)
Moderate Speech, Language and Communication Needs (KS2)
Cressex:
Complex ASD (age 3-19)
Complex Speech, Language and Communication Needs, with separate departments within the Early Years, Key Stage 1 and 2 and Key Stage 3-5
Chiltern Wood School is the amalgamated school made up of (previously) Chiltern Gate and Maplewood Schools. Both schools have come through a positive change process, and through the hard work and dedication of skilled staff, were both recognised as good at our last inspections. We pride ourselves on putting the wellbeing of our children and staff at the centre of the learning process, as we believe that sustained success is only seen when embedded in a safe, secure and happy environment.
We hope that you enjoy using this portal into our school, and warmly welcome visits from anyone who wishes to find out more.

Video artist Paul Simon Richards screened a short film titled ∆ HS. FS. ZWNBS. N-C. BS., an esoteric acronym that represents the coding required to place a gap between two lines of text on a website. The mild-mannered Richards walked up to the stage wearing navy blue denim jeans and what appeared to be a faux Versace pattern jumper, quietly explaining that the film was an attempt to recreate investigations into his own imagination under the effects of clinical hypnosis. It opens with a 3D rendering of man wearing a leopard print hat and matching jacket drifting about in a black void. It quickly cuts to the same man dancing about in black room and then zips to a close-up of a face of an attractive Italian women in front of a green screen with gunmetal eyes the size of dinner plates and flowing golden locks as she commences a hypnotic séance, describing a ear ring and suggesting that the viewer focus in on it, going deeper and deeper until its molecular composition becomes revealed.
The audiences' eyes began to lull when we were brought back to (sur)reality with the image of two white spheres slowly attracting and repulsing each other accompanied by a piercing sound that can only be compared to emergency signals transmitted during television broadcasts. This phantasmagorical film jumps back and forth between monologues from our mysterious belladonna, the man, and abstract animated sequences that bring to mind aspects of Lemon Jelly's seminal album and accompanying film '64 to '95 combined with the stream-of-conscious ravings from the likes of James Joyce. Though some viewers might find it unsettling, I believe there is a method to Richards' madness. The film is cohesive and doesn't come off as completely disjointed and provocative for its own sake. It is something that has to be seen to be understood, if that is actually possible; words really don't give it justice, when it becomes publically available take a gander if you dare.

New opportunities for people with ataxia in Northern Ireland
The Northern Ireland Health Minister announced in October that £3.3 million will be invested to create a Northern Ireland Genomics Medicine Centre to provide an earlier and more accurate diagnosis for people with rare diseases, and was one of the first actions of the Northern Ireland Rare Disease implementation plan that was launched on the same day. The creation of this centre is a partnership with Genomics England, which aims to sequence the genomes of 100,000 patients with rare diseases. In England many people with ataxia have already had the opportunity to take part in the project, so now there is also an opportunity for people living in Northern Ireland. If you have ataxia of unkown cause you may wish to find out more and possibly take part once the centre has been opened (currently the date is unknown).

Ataxia UK collaborative drug discovery programme with Pfizer used as an example of charity and pharmaceutical company partnership at Labour party conference
The Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) and Life Sciences UK invited Ataxia UK's Research Project Manager, Dr Julie Greenfield, to present a case study on our recent collaboration with Pfizer. The talk was conducted at a breakfast roundtable discussion at the Labour party conference in Brighton on the 27th of September entitled 'From innovation to adoption: why working in partnership delivers better outcomes for patients.' This was an opportunity to highlight the important role charities, such as Ataxia UK, have in research and translating this into treatments for patients. The opportunity was also taken to make Shadow Ministers aware of some of the issues that are relevant to the ataxias, such as supporting specialist clinics for rare conditions in the NHS and facilitating research on rare diseases.

Q: Performance comparison of ConcurrentBag vs List Preface: I'm only asking this because I don't have an environment (dataset large enough + computing power) to test it in a reliable fashion.
Question: Given a ConcurrentBag<T>, loaded with billions of items, being accessed/used by a single thread, does it perform similar to a List<T>? Putting in another words, is the enumeration over a ConcurrentBag<T> any more or less performatic than over a List<T>?

A: Billions of items and List or Concurrent bag? That is a "no go".
As far as performance goes try this to test adding: (feel free to modify this to test other operations)
using System;
using System.Collections.Concurrent;

A: ConcurrentBag<T> will inevitably be less performant than List<T>. Although you will only be accessing it from a single thread, the structure still needs to have mechanisms in place to protect against the possibility of race hazards should concurrent access arise.
If you will be loading the collection from a single thread before starting your enumerations, you can avoid the performance overhead by using the ConcurrentBag(IEnumerable<T>) constructor, rather than adding each item individually through its Add method.
ConcurrentBag<T> provides "moment-in-time snapshot" semantics for enumerations; see the remarks for its GetEnumerator method. When you access ConcurrentBag<T> from a foreach loop, it will first copy its entire contents into a plain List<T>, then enumerate over that. This will incur a substantial performance overhead (both computation- and memory-wise) each time you use it in a loop.
If your scenario is that your list will be populated by multiple threads, but then only read by one thread, then you should convert it to a List<T> as soon as the writers are done.

Obama on Climate Is Mixed Bag of Surprises & Status Quo
Daphne Wysham: President moves in the right direction on carbon emissions and Keystone XL pipeline but disappoints on the promotion of fracking
Obama in Africa
Is Obama's Trip to Africa about Investment or the Extraction of African Resources?
Obama and the Militarisation of Africa
JESSICA DESVARIEUX, TRNN PRODUCER: Welcome to The Real News Network. I'm Jessica Desvarieux in Baltimore.
President Obama delivered a climate change speech on Tuesday at Georgetown University. Many analysts, as well as former vice president Al Gore, are applauding this speech.
Here to discuss some of the highlights is Daphne Wysham. Daphne is the founder and director of the Sustainable Energy and Economy Network and is a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies.
Thank for joining us, Stephanie Daphne.
DAPHNE WYSHAM, FELLOW, INSTITUTE FOR POLICY STUDIES: You're welcome.
DESVARIEUX: So, Daphne, let's discuss some of the highlights of this speech. Primarily, let's take a listen at what the president had to say about climate change.
BARACK OBAMA, U.S. PRESIDENT: So today for the sake of our children and the health and safety of all Americans, I'm directing the Environmental Protection Agency to put an end to the limitless dumping of carbon pollution from our power plants and complete new pollution standards for both new and existing power plants.
DESVARIEUX: So, Daphne, what do you make of the president's plan to reduce carbon emissions?
WYSHAM: We've known for quite some time that he has this target of 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020. We also know that it bears no resemblance to what the international community agreed to in Kyoto, which was far more ambitious. And so what he's trying to do in this speech is say, look, I'm living up to my promises, we will reach this goal of reducing our emissions by 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020.
But more significant to me than that was that what I saw today was a feisty Obama and an Obama who's not afraid of a fight on coal, on the Keystone XL pipeline, and specifically is willing to take very bold positions when it comes to climate change.
Not everything was positive. He's still very much the fracker-in-chief. He loves to frack his way to a so-called clean-energy future. He's also very much a proponent of nuclear power. And those are two–what I would say, the two single–the two largest negatives in his speech.
But overall I think people were surprised at–well, they–I know they were surprised on the Keystone XL announcement, whereby he basically said, we are now linking our national interest with whether or not the Keystone XL pipeline will significantly increase the net emissions for the planet. And of course they will.
DESVARIEUX: Well, Daphne, let's actually take a listen to what the president had to say about Keystone XL pipeline.
OBAMA: But I do want to be clear: Allowing the Keystone pipeline to be built requires a finding that doing so would be in our nation's interest. And our national interest will be served only if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution. The net effects of the pipeline's impact on our climate will be absolutely critical to determining whether this project is allowed to go forward.
DESVARIEUX: So, Daphne, what is the significance of relating the Keystone XL pipeline to national interests?
WYSHAM: Well, it's the first time in my memory that a president has linked our national interest to greenhouse gas emissions and a project, a particular project, in this case the very controversial Keystone XL pipeline project, with the issue of climate change. Up until now, the debate has been around jobs–would it increase jobs, would it result in very many jobs–or around energy security. And, of course, on both scores, you could say, well, the jobs would be maybe 35 jobs. On energy security a lot of this is for export. But that's where the focus of the conversation had been, that it was going to increase jobs and it would increase our energy security.
What Obama did today was he pivoted away from those two arguments and said, no, our national interest is now focused on climate change. And if this contributes significantly to the problem, then he will reject it. So that was a surprise. No one was expecting that today. We were waiting to hear from him after the State Department had released its final assessment of the pipeline, and that's not for quite some time. So this signals that he's hearing the protesters and he's paying attention to the criticisms based on the climate science, which is–I would call it a major win for climate activists.
DESVARIEUX: Okay. The president also mentioned that he doesn't plan on stopping the production of fossil fuels, but he did mention that there would be restrictions on coal to reduce carbon emissions. Let's take a listen to what the president had to say.
OBAMA: Today I'm calling for an end of public financing for new coal plants overseas, unless they deploy carbon capture technologies or there's no other viable way for the poorest countries to generate electricity.
DESVARIEUX: Daphne, what's new about the president's proposed plan?
WYSHAM: Well, you know, there isn't a huge amount that's new in terms of, yes, he is moving forward on what is essentially an order from the Supreme Court to restrict CO2 from coal-fired power plants. This signals that he's going to move forward on a faster timeline than people had expected by 2014 to put in place new rules on both new and existing coal-fired power plants. So that's significant.
But the other thing that's really significant that emerged from this speech was that Obama is signaling that he wants to end support for coal, the U.S. government agencies like the U.S. Export Credit–U.S. Export-Import Bank, the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and other government agencies that are essentially subsidizing coal and other fossil fuels with our taxpayer dollars.
He also mentioned that he wants to move multilateral development banks like the World Bank away from coal. And this is an issue that the Institute for Policy Studies, where I work, has been working on for, gosh, about 17 years. So we were heartened to hear that if not all fossil fuels, at least what Obama has done is signaled his support for a campaign, global campaign that it has been going on for over 15 years to get these institutions out of coal and eventually out of all fossil fuels.
DESVARIEUX: I'm hearing a lot of the things that you did like about the speech, but you mentioned earlier that there were some disappointments as well. Can you elaborate a little bit about those disappointments?
WYSHAM: Well, as I said earlier, I think, you know, Obama is enamored with natural gas, which is largely–in this country, we get a good share of our natural gas from the process of hydrofracking, which not only results in fugitive methane emissions, which–and, of course, methane is a very potent greenhouse gas–but also contamination of our water supply. And while he did mention in his speech that he wants to better track and restrict methane emissions, the truth of the matter is that with fracking you are going to continue to have fugitive methane emissions, you know, unless there's some new scientific approach of capturing all of these fugitive methane emissions that are coming out from the earth's surface all over around these fracking sites. So that's a concern, that he's signaling that natural gas is the solution to the climate crisis when actually it's a major contributor to the climate crisis.
And in addition, because fracking has become so popular in this country, we are driving–we're making renewable energy, renewable forms of energy like solar and wind less competitive both at home and abroad, and that's not good for those of us who are concerned about a long-term solution to the climate crisis as soon as possible, which is really–I mean, we're running out of time. And although he, you know, suggests this is a bridge fuel, by continuing to exploit fracked natural gas, we're delaying the transition to a truly clean energy future with clean renewable forms of energy, because natural gas is making these forms of energy less competitive economically, both at home and abroad.
DESVARIEUX: Do you see the president actually having the ability to pass any of these rules into law? Can he just have executive orders? Or is he going to have to go through Congress?
WYSHAM: Well, that's what this new phase is all about. Essentially what Obama's announced today is that he's going to be using his executive authority and bypassing Congress on a number of levels.
Now, of course, he can't bypass Congress on everything, you know, for example, fossil fuel subsidies that will have to–that will require the support of Congress. But by pushing forward on these rules under the EPA, he's definitely able to do that, using his executive authority, advancing this goal of getting public agencies to end their support for coal overseas. My understanding is that he is able to do that using an executive authority. And, of course, his signal that the Keystone XL pipeline will not be approved, that's of course up to the State Department. But he's hinting that his State Department will be weighing very strongly the climate impacts of that pipeline. And, you know, again, that's not going to Congress. It's up to State Department and EPA to essentially determine whether or not that pipeline to go forward.
DESVARIEUX: Well, thank you so much for joining us, Daphne.
WYSHAM: Thanks for having me.
DESVARIEUX: Thank you for joining us on The Real News Network.

» Where Do Squirrels Live?
Where do squirrels live? The correct question to ask is where don't they! Squirrels can be found on just abut every continent and in a vast range of habitats. From trees to the ground, from the rainforest to Siberia – all of these places have at least one squirrel species living there.
To answer the question, it may be a good idea to look at the different species and learn a bit more about the places that these call home.
There are only two continents where squirrels can't be found. One of them is Antarctica and the second is Australia.
Every place that has a forest or some trees can potentially become a squirrel habitat. Some squirrels prefer coniferous forests, others live in mixed or deciduous forests. Depending on the place and the climate, the squirrels can have thinner or thicker fur. The environment will also affect the types of dens and nests that they make.
Grey and red squirrels are two of the most common species in North America and the ones that people typically think of in connection to this type of rodent.
Grey squirrels were originally found in North America. Later on, they were introduced to Europe. These squirrels are known for their dense coat that is silver to grayish in color. In the summer, grey squirrels turn brownish.
These curious little creatures prefer deciduous forests but they are sometimes found in urban areas, as well. The squirrels eat nuts and seeds. Some of their most favorite snacks include acorns, hazelnuts, tree bark, beech mast, shoots and flowers. These dietary preferences determine the places where red squirrels usually live.
The American red squirrel is another popular species. The red squirrels are usually much smaller than other species. Their fur is very red, much darker than the summer brownish coat of the grey squirrel.
Red squirrels are most commonly found in the Neartic region. They can be found on the entire North American continent but the species is entirely restricted to forest habitats unlike grey squirrels, red squirrels can't be observed typically in urban settings.
Some red squirrels can even be found in the coldest regions of Alaska.
The type of habitat they prefer is a pine forest. Red squirrels are an inhabitant of the Rocky Mountains and their habitats can extend to altitudes of up to 2,500 feet! Depending on the conditions, red squirrels can live in other types of forests, as well. In the absence of pine trees nearby, they've been noticed settling in deciduous forests.
Flying squirrels aren't really capable of flying. They have a fleshy membrane that enables gliding. These squirrel species live in several parts of the world.
Flying squirrels usually come in two popular species – northern flying squirrel and southern flying squirrel. The name sheds some light on the place where each of the respective species can be found.
Northern flying squirrels are very common in North America – both in Canada and the US. Southern flying squirrels inhabit the eastern parts of the US, Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. Though these are the two most popular flying squirrel species, there are several other types. Siberian flying squirrels, for example, inhabit the northern parts of Europe and Asia. Unfortunately, deforestation (particularly in Siberia) and a habitat change have led to a rapid decline in their population.
The final squirrel family representative that we'll take a look at is the ground squirrel. Unlike its relatives that live high in the trees, ground squirrels prefer to dig and create their burrows under the ground. They often inhabit lawns and open spaces that are free from trees.
Ground squirrels are prominent throughout North America. Originally, they were confided to the prairie region. Today, the population has grown and its habitat has expanded. Ground squirrels can be found in the eastern parts of the US, as far as Ohio.
The most typical habitats are open areas that feature short to mid-sized grass. Ground squirrels look for places that are characterized by good soil drainage. This is one of the main reasons why they're often found in areas that feature sandy soil.

Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport Ranked World's Second Worst
Society » Real life stories
Visitors of Sleeping in Airports website share their impressions of spending a night in the airports around the world. About 6,200 travelers take part in the online discussion to determine which airports are best and worst for sleeping there.
"So now, sit back....get out your travel itinerary and read the latest airport reviews," the site editors write.
By the opinion of the site visitors the worst airport for staying overnight is Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport comes second.
Many passengers, who had to spend several hours at Sheremetyevo, were not happy about such an experience.
"Sheremetyevo is a dark like cave, dirty and small space," one traveler shares his opinion.
"Now I am scared to go through Russia," another tourist claims.
Most travelers complain of dim lightning, dirty halls, unhelpful staff, limited seating and expensive cafes.
Sheremetyevo's press secretary said that the survey was very subjective. The list of the worst airports includes the busiest airports. For instance, Sheremetyevo deals with 15 million passengers a year. At the moment, the airport is being developed and modernized. Thus the airport's administration hopes to be on the best list in the nearest future.
By the way, the list of worst airports includes the airports of New York, Delhi, Mumbai and Rome.

Citizenship of Antigua and Barbuda can be obtained by an investor 18 years of age or older, with documented legal income, without a criminal record and a serious illness.
In addition to the investor, Antigua and Barbuda's second citizenship can be obtained by the investor's spouse, children up to 30 years old, parents aged 55 years and older and siblings. Children with physical or mental disabilities can be included in the application regardless of their age.
Caribbean citizenship: who can apply together with the investor
The cost of citizenship for a family is calculated based on the age and number of participants. We cover the details in the following sections.
Who can obtain Antigua and Barbuda dual citizenship
Investor Over 18 years old
No criminal record
Legal income
Not under sanctions
Has not been refused a visa or citizenship
Has passed due diligence
Spouse Officially married to the investor
Future spouse
Children Over 18 years old
Under 30 years old
Financially dependent on investor
Live with the investor
Including children from previous marriages
Parents and grandparents Over 55 years old
Financially dependent on the investor
Siblings Not married
The investor's family members can be added to the citizenship program after the investor receives their passport. The government of Antigua and Barbuda has reduced the fee for adding a spouse or parent to a citizenship application from $75,000 to $50,000.
The cost of adding a child under five years old is $10,000 while adding a child from 6 to17 years old is $20,000. Children over 18 years old cannot be added to the application at a later date. They need to be included in the original application together with the investor.
Our son has always wanted to study abroad at a prestigious university. And we are happy we can afford it. So now Lakmal is a student at the University of London. He is planning to get a job in the UK, too.
But we all depend on visas. We cannot visit Lakmal as we wish, and we hardly made it to come on time for his birthday. Our son's future is also at stake: he may be short of time and asked to leave the country before finding a good job after graduation.
Citizenship of Antigua and Barbuda for plans in the UK: studies, work, travel
To attract foreign capital to develop the economy, Antigua and Barbuda revised the terms of their citizenship program in 2020. The amount of investment in real estate was reduced to $200,000. For a family of at least six members, it also added the option to invest in the University of the West Indies Fund.
Dual citizenship can be obtained remotely and confidentially through a licensed program agent. The investor will need to visit the country for the oath of allegiance and spend at least five days there during the first five years of the citizenship program.
Four investment options
$100,000:
a non-refundable contribution to the National Development Fund (NDF). The money in the state fund is used to re-equip hospitals, develop alternative energy, and open new schools and universities.
a contribution to the University of the West Indies Fund for a family of at least six people. This option also offers a year of free education at the university for one of the children included in the application within five years after the investor receives their passport.
investment in an elite hotel approved by the government. The share can be sold after five years.
$1,500,000:
investment in one of the 11 government-approved business projects, primarily in construction companies. Investments can also be made in the organization of a call centre or agriculture.
In addition to the investment, the applicant needs to pay state fees, pay for due diligence, and pay administration fees. Using the example of investment in the state fund, we examine the costs of participating in the citizenship program for the investor and their family.
Investment in the Antigua and Barbuda State Fund, including fees
Cost item Costs
Investments in the National Transformation Fund $100,000 for an investor with a family of up to 4 people
$125,000 for a family of 5 or more members
State fees $30,000 for a family of up to 4 people
$15,000 for each additional member starting from the fifth family member
Due Diligence $7,500 for an investor or their spouse
$2,000 per child from 11 to 17 years old
$4,000 per child from 18 to 30 years old, as well as for each parent over 55 years old
Passport fee $300 per applicant
An investor can only invest in properties that the government has approved for the program. The minimum investment is $200,000, which is twice as high as the minimum contribution required in the National Development Fund. However, most of the money can be recouped without affecting the status of the investor and their family's citizenship, which remains valid for their lifetime.
After five years, the investment property can be sold at a profit to other participants in the program. In this case, the cost of second citizenship for the investor and their family is effectively reduced to just the registration fees.
Caribbean Real Estate: Prices, Income and Expenses
4% return: the investor can earn a potential return of 4% on the sale of the investment property. The deal can take place remotely without the investor being physically present.
Properties that are rented out earn an income of 2 to 5% per annum. The management company takes care of all the administration, maintains the real estate, finds tenants when required and pays the bills.
Tourists rent property in Antigua and Barbuda all year round. The demand for real estate declined due to the COVID-19 epidemic but has gradually started to recover after the partial opening of borders.
Using the example of a real estate investment, we show the costs of participating in the citizen program for an investor and their family.
Cost of investing in real estate in Antigua and Barbuda, including fees
Investment $200,000, regardless of the number of applicants, for at least 5 years
State fees $30,000 for a family of up to 4 members
$15,000 for each additional applicant, starting from the fifth member
$2,000 per child 11 to 17 years old
$4,000 per child 18 to 30 years old or parent at least 55 years old
Passport fee $300 for each applicant
A share in a premium hotel complex in Antigua and Barbuda, 50 meters from the ocean, costs $200,000
This luxury villa located in Antigua and Barbuda, 50 meters from the ocean, costs $450,000
We break down the costs of different options for participating in the citizenship program for a family of 4.

This year's London Handel Festival, which runs from 17 March to 16 April 2018 has a slightly different feel than usual, a welcome change to the selection and the way works are presented. There are four Handel operas being presented this year, a chance to hear Acis and Galatea, Teseo, Amadigi di Gaula and Giulio Cesare. The range of festival venues continues to expand, with Wigmore Hall, Foundling Museum, Handel & Hendrix in London, the Charterhouse, St Lawrence's Church, Little Stanmore, St John's Smith Square, and Fitzrovia Hospital Chapel as well as the festival's regular home of St George's Hanover Square.
The Handel Singing Competition returns for its 16th year, with a showcase concert for 2017 winners Marcjanna Myrlak and Jungkwon Jang,in addition to the competition itself. And Mr Handel's Scholars will again present alumni of the Handel Singing Competition, including 2017 finalists Maria and Nathan Vale, joining Anna Devin and Derek Welton,and the London Handel Orchestra.
The festival's theme this year is Handel and London, so we have Bridget Cunningham directing My Handel's Pleasures, a concert exploring the music of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. And Ruby Hughes (winner of the 2009 competition) takes on the mantle of Giulia Frasi, one of Handel's favourite sopranos and his last prima donna. There is a pair of concerts in Handel's own house, Handel at Home presents harpsichordists Julian Perkins and Gilbert Rowland playing in Handel's drawing room.
Congreve's libretto for The Judgement of Paris is best known for its use in the 1701 competition to pit London's finest composers against each other, but it was also set in 1742 by Thomas Arne and it is this version that John Andrews directs the Brook Street Band in, with Ed Lyon, Soraya MAfi, and Anthony Gregory. And there will be excerpts from Handel's Semele too (another Congreve libretto).
The opera performances are all highly tempting. Acis and Galatea is being presented in a pair of staged performances celebrating the 300th anniversary of the first performance, with Lucy Page, Nick Pritchard, Edward Grint and Jorge Navarro Colorado. Lawrence Cummings conductis and Martin Parr directs. Leo Duarte conducts Opera Settecento in a concert performances of Amadigi di Gaula with Michal Czerniawski, Erica Eloff, Ilona Revolskaya and Maria Ostroukhova. Christian Curnyn directs his Early Opera Company in a concert performance of Giulio Cesare with Tim Mead and Anna Devin as Cesare and Cleopatra, plus Rachel Kelly, Hilary Summers, and Rupert Enticknap. David Bates directs his ensemble, La Nuova Musica in a pair of performances Handel's Teseo with two casts drawn from the Royal Academy Opera programme at the Royal Academy of Music.
There is a programme of Musical Walks include Bloomsbury philanthropists, inventors and eccentrics, Clerkenwell's coffee houses, coal and the Clerk's well, 1,000 years of destruction, conservation and restoration in 1 hour (!) and Churches, squares, artists, doctors and musicians in Georgian society. Plus there are talks by experts on Handel's investments at the Bank of England Museum and Handel's health at the Royal Society of Medicine.


We were given a rucking brilliant brief by Visit Leeds to support the delivery of its Rugby World Cup 2015 marketing campaign, highlighting Leeds as one of the host cities of the global tournament.
The overall campaign aimed to encourage national and international Rugby Union fans to visit the city during the tournament, and encourage overnight stays in the city during the Rugby World Cup 2015, boosting the city's economic growth.
Our PR objectives were to raise the profile of Leeds by highlighting the city's extensive cultural attractions, food and drink scene and diverse accommodation in national, consumer, online and broadcast press.
Working as an extension of Visit Leeds' team, we were given the responsibility of running its press office. Proactively liaising with regional, national and international media to secure coverage in key media and fam trips to Leeds, we also worked closely with Visit England and Visit Britain to reactively field international media requests from the USA, Canada and South Africa.
Liaising closely with Visit Leeds' partners, our team of travel and tourism experts coordinated, organised and developed itineraries for press trips, securing full page reviews for Leeds in key UK media, as well as international broadcast media, highlighting what the city could offer for the incoming rugby fans.
The results were exceptional, as the coverage we generated reached over 253 million people globally, championing Leeds to a massive international audience. This included two primetime features on South Africa's leading breakfast news show, SABC, and one of the leading sports networks in the US, NBC Universal Sports.
As well as hosting seven press trips, we also secured coverage in key national, consumer, online and regional titles, such as The Daily Mirror, Rugby World, Telegraph.co.uk and Express and Star, as well an exclusive interview with Visit Leeds ambassador Ian McGeechan in Sport Magazine, securing a three page feature.
The campaign helped to attract 20,000 international visitors to Leeds, and more than 60,000 people attended the games, hosted at Elland Road, which led to an estimated £53m boost to the Leeds economy.

Black in Latin America is a documentary television series that aired on PBS on April 19, 2011, in the United States. The series is based on the 2011 book Black in Latin America by Henry Louis Gates Jr., who produced the four-episode series. Both the documentary and book explore the historical roots and influence of Afro-Latin Americans. The book's chapters and the documentary's episodes each focus on individual Latin American countries whose African heritage is often overlooked. Each nation has varying perceptions of race and color, but all had policies in order to lighten the overall skin color of their population. For example, in 1933 Mexico restricted the immigration of blacks into the country, and 4 million white European immigrants were welcomed to Brazil between 1884 and 1939.

Gates' purpose behind creating the documentary was to make African-American history and present-day experiences better known within the context of Latin America. One fact highlighted by Gates was that Barack Obama was not the first black president of a multi-racial nation, but rather Vicente Guerrero, Mexico's president from April to December in 1829, was the first.

Episodes

Criticism
There have been several critiques of Gates' work on Haiti and the Dominican Republic, including essentialist depictions and misunderstanding of popular cultural forms.

John Maddox and Michael Steinkampf of the University of Alabama wrote in a 2015 Afro-Hispanic Review article that Gates leaves out a lot of information in the second episode, "Cuba: The Next Revolution". The authors suggest that due to the strong control of media, the documentary did not provide sufficient information about racism in Cuba. Gates's book Black in Latin America provides more information on the subject.
