Have you seen Gregg speak? Leave a review.
Gregg Lederman is the founder and CEO of Brand Integrity, a passionate engagement company with disruptive and sustainable solutions that don't just work, they matter.
Gregg is the author of ENGAGED! Outbehave Your Competition to Create Customers for Life, a New York Times and USA Today Bestseller. ENGAGED! was recognized as one of the "30 Best Business Books of 2013" by Soundview Executive Book Summaries. He is also the author of the award-winning Achieve Brand Integrity (published in 2007).
Gregg is also an adjunct professor teaching Executive MBA students at the Simon School at the University of Rochester.
As a member of the National Speakers Association and currently sought after, renowned speaker, Gregg is committed to the highest standards of excellence and professionalism both on and off the platform. Gregg is consistently the highest ranked speaker at the conferences and events he is hired for. His reputation is built on creating a true "Live the Brand" experience in alignment with the content he delivers.
Drawing from 70 years of research, Gregg Lederman explores the three greatest forces in the work environment responsible for motivating and engaging employees, and no, money is not on that list as long as people are receiving at least the market wage for their work. "The three things that most motivate your work force are respect and appreciation, my relationship with my boss, and do I feel like I'm making a difference," he announces.
He delves deeper into the first item, noting that receiving recognition is a basic human need, yet ironically people love to get it but neglect to give it. "It's the most untapped cultural currency that you have," Gregg points out, saying that more than likely everyone in the audience can think of at least one example per week of someone who demonstrated company values and created a experience that exemplified the brand's essence within the workforce and externally for the guest or client.
Gregg Lederman translates the principles of delivering a branded experience in health care, which faces the unique challenge of being one of the few sectors where you don't want the clients (patients) to return often. In order to achieve those results, he claims, healthcare staff need to exemplify brand integrity as they interact with patients.
With over half of his clients on a "best place to work list," veteran businessman and internationally known speaker, Gregg Lederman shares his proven strategies for delivering customer service experiences that drive loyalty, referrals, and profits. Gregg gets to the heart of what motivates employees, giving managers and leaders buckets of simple actions they can take to foster a work environment that inspires staff to bring brand values to life. Each of Gregg's highly interactive presentations is packed with exercises aimed to equip audience members with everything they need to make their workplace the kind of organization they would enjoy doing business with.
Many leaders and managers are stressed at work like never before. There is too much to do, too little time, and too many distractions. Work-life balance is no longer the challenge. Today (and into the future) people suffer from "life balance" and this makes being a good manager and leader very difficult. But not everyone is struggling. Think about leaders you love to work with. These leaders have earned your trust. What's their secret? How is it that they can lead and inspire their teams with the right balance of both a focus on performance and humanity? How is it that they create the environment where employees are more willing to tap into their personal motivation and become ultra-committed to the success of the organization? Gregg Lederman provides the answers to these questions.
More than 60% of Lederman's clients are on a best place to work list. This is not by chance. It is by design. In this highly interactive keynote, managers are taken on a journey to explore how the most trusted and effective leaders fuel the work environment with the motivational drivers that employees crave most. In addition, audiences go through a powerful self-reflection on their current managerial style while exploring a few inconvenient truths that can prohibit their ability to become even more trusted and effective leaders.
"If you want to change the way managers think, act, and interact, you'll want to bring Gregg in to share his proven and simple method for creating managerial Essential Habits."
Think about the companies you love to do business with. What's their secret? These companies have cracked the code to successfully creating an ENGAGED workforce. What does ENGAGED mean? According to leadership and engagement guru, Gregg Lederman, an engaged workforce is made up of employees who are both motivated and committed to act in the best interest of a company.
The benefits of employee engagement are easy to see and difficult to refute. However, the reality is that 2 out of 3 employees are actively disengaged. Ultimately, it is the manager's responsibility to create an environment where employees are motivated and committed to the success of the company. The problem is that many managers simply don't know how.
-Leaders, managers, and supervisors looking to align, engage, and motivate employees to create and strengthen a customer-centric work culture.
-Sales professionals who want to deliver a differentiated experience that makes customers want to buy more and more often.
-Determine how engaged their workforce is.
-Take specific actions to improve the motivation and commitment of the workforce.
-Define behaviors that will bring their brand (core values) to life.
-Use hundreds of powerful reminders to reinforce expectations and create a culture of accountability for consistently living the brand.
-Show real ROI by quantifying the work culture and link it to critical financial results.
The Eight Principles of ENGAGED!
My presentations are for leaders who want to learn how to create habits that help them become even more effective and trusted leaders.
LEDERMAN: I immerse myself in the industry to understand the business metrics that are of most importance to the audience. That way I am able to share case examples to ensure a connection between the engagement of employees and their financial success.
Learning about the unique challenges also helps me to determine the stories I can share to help the audience emotionally connect with the messages. This leads to stronger take-home value as I am able to build up an urgency to put the tools and techniques I share into practice immediately.
LEDERMAN: Anyone who has the responsibility of managing or leading other humans will benefit from understanding how to create the Essential Habits that help them to communicate expectations more effectively, thus becoming a more trusted leader.
LEDERMAN: "The Essential Habits of Trusted Leaders" is the most applicable speech I've ever given. Audience members are immediately able to put the habit-forming process I provide to use—and not only does it help them become more effective and trusted leaders, but in many ways it is life-changing as it can be used in their personal lives to create more positive habits.
LEDERMAN: I like to say that I "fell into the speaking business." Quite simply, my clients would ask me to present the work that we did together to either their leadership, board of directors, or at their industry conference. In 2002, I delivered a keynote for a client at an industry conference in San Diego. I was the highest-rated speaker. It was then that I realized the other speakers all got paid and I had only asked them to pay my travel expenses.
LEDERMAN: Keeping the audience engaged has never been a challenge for me. In fact, I rarely see the eyes leave the stage and drift toward the ultimate distraction… the cell phone. Why? Because I keep the entire keynote (which usually ranges from 60 to 90 minutes) in high energy mode—not only by telling stories and jokes to keep them thinking and laughing, but also I provide a few interactive handouts.
The number one success that I see over and over again is that managers and leaders learn the ultimate Essential Habit of recognizing and sharing success.
on a best place to work list, up from 60% five years ago.
They increase customer loyalty scores—usually measured as the Net Promoter Score (NPS).
They increase sales and profits.

Finally, the number one success that I see over and over again is that managers and leaders learn the ultimate Essential Habit of recognizing and sharing success. This simple habit that I cover in my keynote drives every one of the outcomes noted above.
• The research on what employees want.
• How leaders can earn their employees' trust.
"The number one challenge I see over and over again is the simple act of communicating expectations for "how" an organization lives its brand or lives its core values."

The peer-to-peer automobile-sharing service will launch operations at Portland International Airport on Tuesday, supplying a way for travelers to park their automobile for free of charge although enabling other individuals to rent out those identical automobiles for a charge. The project establishes a new QTA that is adequately sized, laid out, and equipped to facilitate the future demand and desires of rental car companies in a safe and effective manner southeast of Parking Garage P2. The facility creates infrastructure improvements in and adjacent to the existing PDX parking garages to address operational inefficiencies, capacity constraints, and other improvements to rental car facility operations.
In addition, auto rentals with Meet & Greet solution are generally less costly than car rentals from the corporations with a rental desk at the airport, for the reason that they don't incorporate the airport charge in the rental price tag. Indigo car or truck hire have no duty for failure to give a big credit card in the drivers name on arrival unless a prior agreement has been agreed with our contact centre.
Do not rush to acquire the complete tank of fuel from a vehicle rental supplier on a tiny island or if you rent a car for a handful of days. Over the various years we have been in the car rental industry we have managed to arrange many bargains, we have predominately aimed these deals at producing auto rental readily available to a wider audience of individuals. By choosing a vehicle rental with such option, you won't have to stand in line or go with your suitcases to a shuttle bus to get to your automobile rental place.
Rental Auto Speedy Turn-Around (QTA) facilities are an innovative building variety, with only about dozen in the country. You ought to generally specify the appropriate Residence Nation because it may possibly outcome on the price tag of the rental or even refusal of automobile rental. Rather you will be met near the exit from your terminal with a sign with your name or the auto rental business name and your auto will be waiting in the parking lot. We give vehicle rental with no deposit but you do on the other hand have to put down a low deposit on the complete tank of fuel you are provided upon arrival at the airport.
We perform with all the major businesses providing automobile employ at Portland Airport. In case you were looking to rent a vehicle for the very best value offered at Portland airport, you came to the right location. Driving a rental auto is the excellent way to see the most of the highlights in a set quantity of time. The city's almost 600,000 residents are a welcoming bunch, and their inherent quirkiness is refreshing and of interest at all times.
In addition, if you are planning to get tickets for a ferry, notify the car or truck rental business about it in advance, then they can inform you the quantity of the car or truck you will rent. In most instances, you will have to leave a deposit at the time of rental (see our FAQ about Excess Charge and Excess Charge Reduction ), but you can normally insure this deposit or obtain the Excess Charge Reduction. You should normally look at the total quantity, and not just the car or truck rental price tag.
TranSystems supplied rental car or truck functional design consultation solutions for the Portland International Airport (PDX) Rental Automobile Fast Turn Around (QTA) Facility. Its positioned just near the city or Portland, the Portland international airport is typically referred to by its airport code PDX. Auto rental firms take funds for a complete day of rental, so if you take a automobile for 25 hours, you will spend for 48 hours (two complete days) of rental, and 74 hours will stand for 96 hours (4 full days) of rentals.
Portland Airport Car Rental – TranSystems provided rental car functional style consultation services for the Portland International Airport (PDX) Rental Auto Fast Turn About (QTA) Facility.

Q: How to find the longest continuous subsequence whose reverse is also a subsequence Suppose I have a sequence x1,x2,x3.....xn, and I want to find the longest continuous subsequence xi,xi+1,xi+2......xi+k, whose reverse is also a subsequence of the given sequence.
And if there are multiple such subsequences, then I also have to find the smallest i.
ex:- consider the sequences:
abcdefgedcg
here i=3 and k=2
aabcdddd
 here i=5, k=3
I tried looking at the original longest common subsequence problem, but that is used to compare the two sequences to find the longest common subsequence.... but here is only one sequence from which we have to find the subsequences. Please let me know what is the best way to approach this problem, to find the optimal solution.

A: Actually this is the longest common substring problem applied to the sequence and its reverse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring_problem
This is distinct from longest common subsequence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsequence#Substring_vs._subsequence

A: apply longest common substring to the string and its reverse.
 LCS ("abcdefgedcg", "gcdegfedcba") = "cde"

EDIT: not subsequence as potatoswatter points out, not subsequence.

Q: bs4 getting a tag's value Here's html code I'm working on.

   $

   <input class="form-text form-control input-lg-3" disabled="disabled"
   groupfields="$" id="edit-transfer--3" maxlength="128"
   name="transfer_d" size="60" type="text" value="71"/>

What I want is to get "71" which is the value of a "value" tag
I've tried
elem = soup.find('input', attrs={'id':'edit-transfer--3'})
print(elem)

and gives
<input class="form-text form-control input-lg-3" disabled="disabled" groupfields="$" id="edit-transfer--3" maxlength="128" name="transfer_d" size="60" type="text" value="71"/>

and I'm stuck
print(elem.find('value') gives me None
and
print(elemd.find('value').get_text())

gives me an error
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_text'
How can I extract the value from the tag?

A: Try this:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = '''

   $

   <input class="form-text form-control input-lg-3" disabled="disabled"
   groupfields="$" id="edit-transfer--3" maxlength="128"
   name="transfer_d" size="60" type="text" value="71"/>

'''
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")
elem = soup.find('input', attrs={'id':'edit-transfer--3'})

print(elem['value'])

returns
71

*

*The find method is used to find child elements from the parent. Since value is an attribute and there's no element tag called value, None is returned.

*The get_text method will only extract the innerText of the element. Since the previous find returned None, it throws the error.
To get a specific attribute you need to use square brackets.

Human Remains Found Inside Black Bears Euthanized After Woman Killed in Colorado
By Jenni Fink On 5/3/21 at 10:09 AM EDT
U.S. Bear Animal Attack Colorado
An autopsy could confirm what a woman's boyfriend feared to be true: that she was fatally attacked by bears while walking her dogs in Colorado's woods.
Three bears—a mom and two yearlings—were euthanized following the suspected attack and a Colorado Parks and Wildlife Pathologist found human remains in two of them. Officials suspect the remains belong to an unidentified 39-year-old woman, whose body was found on Friday off a highway north of Durango.
"We cannot determine with exact certainty how or why this attack took place, but it is important for the public not to cast blame on this woman for the unfortunate and tragic event," said Cory Chick, a regional manager with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. "Once a bear injures or consumes humans, we will not risk the chance that this could happen to someone else."
According to the woman's boyfriend, she'd gone out on Friday to walk their two dogs and when he returned home at 8:30 that night, their dogs were outside the house, but she wasn't there. About an hour later, he called 911 to report her death after he discovered her body.
Human remains were found inside two black bears who were euthanized after being suspected of attacking and consuming a 39-year-old woman. Above, a female Baribal American black bear is seen on May 3, 2019, at the Planete Sauvage zoological park in western France. Loic Venance/AFP/Getty Images
The body showed signs of consumption and CPW wildlife officers saw an "abundance" of bear scat and hair at the scene. Shortly thereafter, a dog team from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services found a 200-pound female black bear and two yearlings, weighing about 58 pounds and 66 pounds, nearby and all three animals were euthanized.
Necropsies on the three bears showed human remains in the largest and in one of the yearlings. A coroner will conduct an autopsy on the woman's body on Tuesday to determine the cause of death and identify the remains.
Aside from the human remains, the pathologist said there was nothing abnormal in the bears and all three appeared to be healthy. However, further analysis of the bears' cells and rabies testing is underway and will be complete in about two weeks.
Dan Prenzlow, director of Colorado Parks and Wildlife, acknowledged that people want answers whenever an animal is euthanized. He noted that it's never an action that they take lightly, but their responsibility for keeping communities safe outweighs the responsibility to the natural resources of the state and a bear who has injured or killed a human is likely to attack again.
"Bears will return to a food source over and over. A bear that loses its fear of humans is a dangerous animal," Chick said. "And this sow was teaching its yearlings that humans were a source of food, not something to fear and avoid."

Given the prominence of bears in Colorado, where an estimated 20,000 could live, Chick urged residents to not contribute to food-conditioning them. Bears that seek out "easy handouts" such as a backyard bird feeder, can become "aggressive and dangerous" because they see humans as an "inconvenience" when they're between it and food.
"There are inherent risks anyone takes when venturing outdoors. That could be from wildlife, the landscape, weather events or other circumstances one cannot plan for," Chick said. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the boyfriend, family and friends of the woman we lost in this tragic event."

In 2011 Björk released Biophilia, a multi-media project comprising a studio album, an app album for ipad & android, a live tour featuring custom-made instruments and educational workshops. The app album was the first of its kind – a fully interactive and educational entity to accompany the album, where each song is represented by its own touchscreen app. Each app takes one key feature of music theory (chords, scales, counterpoint etc.) and pairs it with a corresponding scientific phenomenon.
The Icelandic model for the Biophilia Educational Project was developed in 2011 during Björk's Biophilia Recidency in Iceland. Over sixty Reykjavík grade school students attended the first Biophilia workshops in the Harpa music hall, under the supervision of Reykjavík school teachers and scientists from the University of Iceland.
Since then this model, developed by Björk, Reykjavík City and the University of Iceland, has toured the world and inspired children from Buenos Aires to New York to Tokyo.
The Icelandic Ministry for Education, Science and Culture made the Biophilia Educational Project one of its focus points during its 2014 presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers. The project was implemented and developed in all the Nordic countries from 2014 to 2016.

Overview of EXIST 2023: sEXism Identification in Social neTworks
Laura Plaza, Jorge Carrillo de Albornoz, Roser Morante, Julio Gonzalo, Enrique Amigó, Damiano Spina, Paolo Rosso
The paper describes the lab on Sexism identification in social networks (EXIST 2023) that will be hosted at the CLEF 2023 conference. The lab consists of three tasks, two of which are continuation of EXIST 2022 (sexism detection and sexism categorization) and a third and novel one on source intention identification. For this edition new test and training data will be provided and some novelties are introduced in order to tackle two central problems of Natural Language Processing (NLP): bias and fairness. Firstly, the sampling and data gathering process will take into account different sources of bias in data: seed, temporal and user bias. During the annotation process we will also consider some sources of "label bias" that come from the social and demographic characteristics of the annotators. Secondly, we will adopt the "learning with disagreements" paradigm by providing datasets containing also pre-aggregated annotations, so that systems can make use of this information to learn from different perspectives. The general goal of the EXIST shared tasks is to advance the state of the art in online sexism detection and categorization, as well as investigating to what extent bias can be characterized in data and whether systems may take fairness decisions when learning from multiple annotations.

What is the best way to Mediate?
What is the best way to meditate? This is a highly debated topic in the yoga community. Questions that typically arise involve how to correctly position your body for ultimate meditation, as well as debates over whether the goal is to empty your mind or allow your thoughts to flow freely. The belief that we must sit like a pretzel for hours and hours, with our legs twisted up in lotus position in order to engage in effective meditation may be one reason why many people shy away from meditating. It is true that most ancient yogis were traditional and adhered to very specific meditative practices in order to achieve enlightenment.
But is there really only one way to meditate? I believe that modern meditative yoga practice can take on different appearances.
Yogic philosophy encourages acceptance of oneself and others. Inclusivity is key. So why would we insist that people must sit for extended periods of time (and sometimes in extreme discomfort) while meditating? Ancient yogis usually practiced padmasana (lotus pose) while meditating, but what if lotus pose is not accessible to their body? The best way to sit in meditation is the posture that is most comfortable for you. Yoga poses should have a wide base and provide a gentle, natural curve to your spine.
Your choice of position is as individual as you are. You can also change your position from day-to-day. This encourages you to listen to your body and let it guide you.
So what is the goal of yoga? For me, emptying my mind feels like a daunting and unrealistic expectation. At this point in my life, I see meditation as a way of quieting the clutter in my mind. I practice accepting my thoughts and try not to judge them as they pop up. Meditation teaches us to resist the impulse to react to what normally would be strong thoughts and feelings. We learn to become a witness to the nature of our minds. We learn to listen quietly and then to let go.
A meditative practice might involve using visualization, mantra (either spoken or unspoken), a walking meditation or using music. Meditation holds the key to developing a wonderful sense of ease within your body. It helps to create a peaceful balance between your inside world and outside world. Isn't that the most important part of a meditative process? Does it really matter how we achieve that state? You need to choose a meditative position and technique that resonates with you as a unique person. When you do, you will return to that practice over and over again to reap the benefits.

C8 Corvette Most Cross-Shopped With This German Performance Model
It's not that surprising.
Customers looking for speed and performance are not short of options. Quick coupes and fast SUVs are the norm, making for some interesting cross-shopping comparisons. General Motors held a business briefing Wednesday where it reported that the new 2020 Chevy Corvette C8 is most cross-shopped against another motoring icon – the Porsche 911 – which was first reported by GM Authority.
It may seem like an odd pairing at first glance, though the C8 Corvette flipped from a front-engine layout to a mid-engine one, putting the power pant behind the driver compartment like the Porsche 911. However, there's a gulf between the two in price. The Corvette technically squeaks under the $60,000 price mark, even if few are buying the entry-level model. The entry-level 911 Carrera starts at $100,500, though with over 80 percent of Corvette customers choosing either the 2LT or 3LT trims, the former of which starts at around $68,000.
Gallery: 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray: Review
There's also a performance difference. The Corvette comes with a 6.2-liter V8 making up to 495 horsepower (369 kilowatts) and 470 pound-feet (673 Newton-meters) of torque. That's noticeably more than the entry-level Carrera with its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six asking 379 hp (282 kW) and 331 lb-ft (448 Nm) of torque. The Carrera S is closer to the Corvette's output, offering 443 hp (330 kW) and 390 lb-ft (528 Nm) of torque. However, that extra power comes with a larger price tag – $116,450. That's nearly double the C8's starting price.
Earlier this summer, Dodge reported that customers were sizing up the Corvette against SRT Charger and Challengers, which are high on power with reasonable price tags. It would seem as if the new Corvette upended traditional cross-shopping, with the mid-engine car being compared with a range of competitors. We don't know how many customers Chevy is poaching from Porsche, though C8 production was expected to exceed 20,000 its first model year.

Q: Show that the arc length integral is continuous in $C^1$ I came across this question and I am not sure how to prove it.
Show that the arc length integral is continuous in $C^1$.

A: Let $f,g$ be two $C^1$ functions on $[a,b]$.
We have
$$
\sqrt{1+f'^2}-\sqrt{1+g'^2}=\frac{f'^2-g'^2}{\sqrt{1+f'^2}+\sqrt{1+g'^2}}.
$$
So
$$
|\sqrt{1+f'^2(x)}-\sqrt{1+g'^2(x)}|\leq\frac{|f'^2(x)-g'^2(x)|}{2}\leq\frac{|f'(x)-g'(x)|(|f'(x)|+|g'(x)|)}{2}
$$
for all $x\in(a,b)$.
Now fix $f$ and take $g$ such that $\|g'-f'\|_\infty\leq 1$. Then $\|g'\|_\infty\leq 1+\|f'\|_\infty$, so
$$
|\sqrt{1+f'^2(x)}-\sqrt{1+g'^2(x)}|\leq\frac{(1+2\|f'\|_\infty)}{2}\|f'-g'\|_\infty
$$
for all $x\in(a,b)$.
Denote
$$
I(f):=\int_a^b\sqrt{1+f'^2(x)}dx
$$
the arclength function.
We have, with $f$ and $g$ as above,
$$
|I(f)-I(g)|\leq \frac{(b-a)(1+2\|f'\|_\infty)}{2}\|f'-g'\|_\infty.
$$
So $I(f)$ is locally Lipschitz with respect to $\|f'\|_\infty$. A fortiori, with respect to the usual $C^1$ norm $\|f\|_\infty+\|f'\|_\infty$.
Hence it is continuous at $f$ for all $f$ in $C^1$.

1995 ACURA NSX. IN CALIFORNIA SINCE NEW, THIS BEAUTIFUL NSX-T COMES WITH A CLEAN CAR FAX REPORT. 3 PREVIOUS OWNERS.
We don't play the lottery very often, but when we do, even a five-dollar win is cause for celebration. So we can't possibly imagine how Paul White from Minnesota is feeling after scoring a third of this week's $448 million Powerball jackpot. It has to be an overwhelming experience, but we think he's going to end up handling it well if his first press conference is any indication.
Like some of us, White has a pretty reasonable idea of what his first purchase is, and boy, is it a good one: an early Acura NSX. Yes, this man has class. Rather than run out and buy a clichéd Rolls-Royce or Lamborghini, his first instinct is to go pick up a $30,000 Acura that he has been eyeing on Craigslist for months. It's enough to make us wonder if he'll use his winnings to get on the list for one of Acura's new NSXs when they finally come around in 2015.
Watch White describe what it is about the NSX that makes heart skip a beat in the press conference video from USA Today below (note: video autoplays).

"Sax" is a song by Fleur East, an English recording artist. "Sax" is from her debut studio album Love, Sax and Flashbacks (2015). Syco Records released the song as the lead single on November 6, 2015.
"Sax" was the runner-up of 11th series of The X Factor. Fleur East signed with Syco Music in January 2015 and started working on her album after the X Factor season was over. The song was influenced by "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars. East said: "Everything about that song - the uptempo vibe, the high energy, the brass, the old school funk sound - was just right up my street. I've definitely taken a few influences from that."
Simon Cowell said: "I've heard it and it's world class. She has discovered who she wanted to be". Lewis Corner recognized the song was inspired by "Uptown Funk", and added its "brassed-up chorus, sassy lyrics and funky hook means it stands tall as a potential smash hit in its own right". The video was published on youtube November 26, 2015 and has over 8.8 million hits as of Jan 2016.
The best part for a ringtone to "Sax" by Fleur East is found on the song time frame from the youtube video 0.50" to 1.10".

Q: how to see spaces in data when selecting with mysql command line client How can i see spaces in String when using select with the sql-command-line-client?
What i mean is the following. you have three lines.
1, 2 and 3 Spaces.
You don't have a chance see the number of spaces.
create table foo(bar varchar(8));
insert into foo values(" "),("  "), ("   ");

select * from foo\g
+------+
| bar  |
+------+
|      |
|      |
|      |
+------+

mysql> select * from foo\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
bar:
*************************** 2. row ***************************
bar:
*************************** 3. row ***************************
bar:
3 rows in set (0.01 sec)

The only option i came up with is:
mysql> select bar, hex(bar) from foo;
+------+----------+
| bar  | hex(bar) |
+------+----------+
|      | 20       |
|      | 2020     |
|      | 202020   |
+------+----------+
3 rows in set (0.01 sec)

Something like var_export in php would be nice.

A: It appears there is a string-function QUOTE (Escape the argument for use in an SQL statement) wich works really nice.
-- to add another tricky example
mysql> insert into foo values(" \" ' "), ("''");
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)

mysql> select bar, quote(bar) from foo;
+-------+------------+
| bar   | quote(bar) |
+-------+------------+
|       | ' '        |
|       | '  '       |
|       | '   '      |
|  " '  | ' " \' '   |
| ''    | '\'\''     |
+-------+------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

A: You may replace spaces with some other characters in output like:
mysql> SELECT REPLACE('   ', ' ', '|');

+--------------------------+
| REPLACE('   ', ' ', '|') |
+--------------------------+
| |||                      |
+--------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

A: If this is just about displaying the space then  you'll need to encode the string before you store it. If it's about comparison then you'll find that leading strings (before a non space) are preserved while trailing are not. See more here: here

A: How about using String LENGTH() to get a similar result to php var_export()
SELECT bar, LENGTH(bar) FROM foo;

Endowment Fund | Weston Lacrosse Club (CT), Inc.
The Weston Lacrosse Club - Paul Scheufele Endowment Fund (the "Endowment") was established in 2006 to provide permanent funding for boys and girls lacrosse at the youth and high school levels in Weston, CT. The Endowment is managed by the Fairfield County Community Foundation based in Norwalk, CT. The FCCFoundation ( http://www.fccfoundation.org ) will administer the Endowment and provide an annual grant to the Weston Lacrosse Club which will determine the use of proceeds.
WHY A LACROSSE ENDOWMENT FOR WESTON?
"The agony and the ecstacy. The sorrow and the joy. Friendships forged. Memories made. Think of how life would be without sports?"
We all deserve to be proud of Weston lacrosse. Since 1998, we have built a great youth and high school program based on the values of competitive excellence, safety, respect and fun. Yet there is so much more we must do to convert our early success into a tradition of excellence. Our annual fundraising effort assists our teams with coaching, uniforms, equipment and transportation. However, a tradition of excellence takes permanent funding resources to attract, develop and retain outstanding coaching and to purchase the best equipment available for our player training and performance. It is much tougher to build and maintain excellence when funding can be derailed by economic, enrollment and budgetary cycles. We are mindful that Weston once had a thriving high school lacrosse program in the early 1980s, only to see it cut when enrollment and budget declines hit the town in the late 1980s. It took 15 years to bring the sport back to Weston. The Endowment, among other things, will ensure strong funding for Weston lacrosse forever! An Endowment guarantees permanent funding and sends a message that "Weston is committed to the tradition of excellence" at levels reached by some of the great programs around the country. The lacrosse world, our community, our coaches and our players will hear the message and will want to be a part of our pioneering effort and emerging tradition.
Parent and friends can "give back" to the future of Weston lacrosse by making a tax deductible gift to the Weston Lacrosse Club - Paul Scheufele Endowment Fund. Who knows, in 30 years, when we watch our grandchildren play lacrosse with their friends in Weston, we may know that we were vital to its success at the beginning when it mattered most. We were pioneers that made a difference forever.
"Do something for yourself and it dies with you. Do something for others and it lives forever."

"Matrix 4" Bombs At The Holiday Box Office
Matrix Resurrections didn't just underperform at the weekend box office, it was a disaster. The same day and date hybrid release WB committed to for theatrical/HBO Max continues to hurt their 2021 film slate. While people paid to go see Sing 2 and Spider No Way Home for a second time, moviegoers chose to stay home and watch the new Matrix film. For a film that cost over 200 million to make this might be the biggest box office flop that WB has endured this year.
Per Forbes:
Universal and Illumination's Sing 2 opened with a solid holiday debut. The jukebox musical earned $23.76 million over the Fri-Sun portion of a $41 million Wed-Sun debut (including $1.6 million in Thanksgiving weekend sneak previews). That is close enough to Sing's $35 million/$56 million opening over Christmas weekend 2016 that I would argue this was a business-as-usual debut. Sing was well liked and leggy ($271 million or 4.8x its Wed-Sun debut) but it's not like the world was gagging for the next Buster Moon adventure.
Warner Bros.' The Matrix Resurrections became the latest victim of "online fandom does not equal general audience interest." The Keanu Reeves/Carrie-Anne Moss sequel earned $12 million over the Fri-Sun portion of a $22.5 million Wed-Sun frame.
Throw in a B- Cinemascore grade (although men 18-24 gave it an A-) and we're probably looking at a $40-$45 million domestic finish, or about what The Matrix earned ($37 million) over its Wed-Sun debut in early 1999. The Lana Wachowski-directed sequel has earned $69 million worldwide, including $9 million from last weekend's first overseas territories. The notion of a two-decades-later sequel to The Matrix was always, at best, a commercial coin toss. There is an enormous difference between something that's popular right now (like Sing 2) and something that was popular 23 years ago.
20th Century Studios finally unleashed The King's Man after two years of delays. As frankly predicted way back when, the prequel origin story landed with an indifferent thud. Yes, the film is better than Kingsman: The Golden Circle. And, yes, Matthew Vaughn just wanted to make a World War I-set action/espionage drama and used the IP as an alibi. But the $6.35 million Fri-Sun/$10 million Wed-Sun debut is what happens when Hollywood mistakes interest in a specific film with interest in an abstract IP.
Meanwhile Spider-Man No Way Home continues to web up all the money. The latest Spider-Man sequel becomes the first post-Covid theatrical release to earn a billion dollars at the box office. Sony's comic-book epic has eclipsed that milestone in a near-record 12 days, tying with 2015's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" as the third-fastest film to reach the billion-dollar benchmark. Only 2018's "Avengers: Infinity War" and 2019's "Avengers: Endgame" were quicker, smashing the coveted tally in 11 and five days, respectively.
So if one thing post-Covid releases have taught us it's that movie-goers will show up in droves for event movies with something they want to see. Things they don't care about they are more willing to wait and stream at home.
Movie theaters will have a lot to think about moving forward with which franchises to continue and which ones should be left alone.

Planning for what will happen after you pass away is not easy; for many people, estate planning and the creation of a will is something they plan to do "at a later time." Creating a will can be difficult, but not having one can make things even more difficult for your loved ones after you pass. When you pass away without a will, it's called intestacy. An intestate estate leaves you vulnerable to other state laws which dictate what happens to your assets. Laws regarding a will vary from state to state and depend on if you were married, single, or had children. There are a few universal benefits, however, that you should consider.
A will is legally binding and usually defines how your assets are distributed. Your assets can be a savings account, property, business, etc. Having a plan makes the process easier for your family and generally will lessen or even eliminate the need for the government to get involved.
Managing the financial affairs and assets of a loved one who has passed adds a significant amount of stress to an already extremely difficult situation. Having a will in place that outlines your expectations and wishes can lessen this burden. At the very least, it saves your family that extra time spent in the courtroom for basic decisions such as appointing an executor of the estate. Having a will won't eliminate the stress on your family, but if done well, it definitely can make the process a little easier for them.
If both parents have passed, having a will can help ensure your children are cared for by the people you have selected. Without a will, a judge may place your children with someone you don't trust or would not have chosen to care for your children.
These are just a few of the many ways a will can benefit your loved ones when you pass. If you haven't created a will, or if you have had changes in your life that require an update to your will, there is no better time than now. Join us for one of two Wills Day that Marine FCU is sponsoring to find out how a will can benefit you. We will provide you with access to a trusted attorney, conducting one-on-one sessions preparing your will and answering all of your questions. Find out more information and set up an appointment here.
You can educate yourself on the basics of estate planning from the professionals at Smith Debnam Attorneys At Law. The more you know, the better you can protect your loved ones in your absence.

Leonid Alekseyevich Filatov (; 24 December 1946 – 26 October 2003) was a Soviet and Russian actor, director, poet, pamphleteer, who shot to fame while a member of the troupe of the Taganka Theatre under director Yury Lyubimov. Despite severe illness that haunted him in the 1990s, he received many awards, including the Russian Federation State Prize and People's Artist of Russia in 1996.

Biography
Filatov was born on 24 December 1946, in Kazan. His father was Aleksey Yeremeyevich Filatov (1910 - 1980s), his mother - Klavdia Nikolaevna Filatova (b. 1924). The family frequently moved around, because his father was a radio operator and spent much time in field expeditions. When Leonid was seven years old his parents divorced, and Leonid moved along with his mother to Ashkhabad to join his mother's relatives. While a schoolboy, he had his first publications in the Ashkhabad press.

After finishing school he arrived in Moscow in 1965, and tried to become a film director, but failed the entrance exam at the State Institute of Cinematography - VGIK . However, Filatov was persistent, and on the advice of a classmate he took the entrance exams to the actor's department of the Shchukin Theatrical School. In 1965 he was admitted to the course of B.K. Lvova and L.N. Shikhmatov, and graduated from Shchukin Theatrical School as an actor in 1969.

In 1969 Filatov became an actor with the troupe of the Moscow Taganka Theatre. His first main role was the lead in the stage version of What Is to Be Done? His career developed with roles in The Master and Margarita, The Cherry Orchard, The House on the Embankment, Fasten Your Seatbelts, Pugachev, Antiworlds, Comrade, Believe, the role of Horatio in Hamlet, Kul'chitskiy in The Fallen and Living, Federzoni in Life of Galileo, and Players-21 (a work with (Sergey Yursky's creative association of artists).

From 1985 through 1987, while the Taganka Theatre was under Anatoly Efros, Leonid Filatov worked at the Sovremennik Theatre, then later returned to the Taganka. In 1993 Filatov joined Nikolai Gubenko, Natalya Sayko, Nina Shatskaya and other actors in founding a creative association named Fellowship of Actors of the Taganka (Russian: "Содружествo актеров Таганки").

He was the author of several plays, such as An Artist from Sherwood Forest and Sons of Bitches, among other works.

From 1970 Filatov worked in cinema. His most important roles were in such films as City of First Love, Air Crew, The Voice, Women Joke in Earnest, Rooks, Success, Chicherin, Forgotten Melody for a Flute, Zerograd, and Charity Ball.

In 1990 he directed the film Sons of Bitches, based on his own scenario, and also played a supporting role. It was entered into the 17th Moscow International Film Festival.

Since 1970 Filatov was writing songs in the co-authorship with Vladimir Kachan.

Leonid Filatov was married to the actress of the Fellowship of Actors of the Taganka Nina Shatskaya. The couple had a son and granddaughters.

Kausar is the mother of three adorable children. Her story began when she was burnt with a gas cylinder explosion within her own home. One of the bitter realities of life in Pakistan is that people are continually suffering due to no gas or electricity. As a result of this, cylinders are often brought to the home so as to use when cooking a meal. Yet it is utmost tragic and traumatising when this appliance can cause a fire which catches onto the body, leaving only scars and pain behind. She narrowly escaped death and was admitted to the hospital for six months.
Despite the fact that the incident occurred a few years ago, she still experiences pain occasionally and has also been branded with physical scars. As well as this, her living conditions are considerably unbearable. Our visit to her home left the entire team overwhelmed. She resides in a one small room which is inclusive of a small toilet separated from the room with a thin curtain and the bedroom includes a cooker, which is placed right beside the bed. There is also hardly any space for her to move around.
Her husband is a driver and works and works from morning till late evening, but he earns just enough to pay the rent and bills. Other basic necessities have also been a struggle to obtain for many years.
Kausar is an extremely brave and hardworking woman, not just because she bears with her humble abode but also because of her commitment to change circumstances for her children. To us, she expressed her feelings and was tearful: "I have faced excessive hardships until I enrolled the Ummah Charity Internationals stitching course, which was the start to my optimism. Probably the happiest day of my life was when I received the certificate and sewing machine. It gave me a whole new dimension to life and hope for the education of my children and nutritional food for them. I have started stitching clothes for some local residents living in my neighbourhood. I have no words to thank the donors and Ummah Charity International for this accomplishment. May Allah reward all those people because of whom the trajectory of my life is being transformed."

May heralded more than the scorching heat of summer. Two significant events ruled the headlines in the first fortnight of the month. One was the conviction of actor Salman Khan for a hit-and-run case that took place in 2002, In the second incident, a relatively unknown Chief Executive of a me-too start-up property portal, had a tantrum, resigned and then withdrew his resignation,throwing the world of venture funds into a tizzy.
Khan's case is still sub-judice (in fact it is building up into a fine case of whodunit) so we shall not really get into discussing the merits of the case as such but let us rather draw on it as an example for our case study – based largely on the limited and speculative knowledge of the ubiquitous media. For those of you who are aspiring to join a business school and thoseof you are in the midst of it and on the verge of graduating – be warned. There is a lesson in this – and I am not talking about drunken driving (though of course, there is that too).
Thou shalt commit mistakes; it's part of living, you can't escape it. (That is however not the lesson). All of us are guilty of having committed some mistakes – some grave and some not so grave. Some mistakes however do harm to other people and then that creates an added dimension to the problem. However, mistakes are never intentional, they just happen.
What happens next is more important and that is where the lesson is. How do you deal with it? Do you own up to it? Do you pretend it hasn't happened? Do you ignore the problem, thinking that it will go away? Or do you build up a fantastic case of alibis and witnesses all swearing that you did not have anything to do with it?
If we take the last alternative, it requires quite a bit of planning, money-power and you have to rely on somebody else's integrity not to give you away. Which, seems rather a contradiction in terms because their integrity has already been bought by you; and once bought, it is always up for auction to the next highest bidder. You can truly hide your misdemeanours only if you are the only person in the knowledge of that and even then, circumstantial evidence can always point your way.
Making a real-life comparison, we will assume that there were witnesses to your transgressions. If shutting them up is not a solution – you have the choice of owning up or not. If you do not own up, the people whom you have harmed are sure to take action against you – because you have compounded your error: doing it and not owning up.
Let's take the hit and run case. We shall assume for the sake of argument, that Salman was guilty as the sessions court has held., What if he had admitted guilty in 2002? Remember, those days there were very few television channels; media activism was not as hysterical as it is today; celebrity bashing was not a popular pastime. He would have probably got a year or two for manslaughter (accidental killing without wilful intent)., He could have spent half of the time out on bail. He could have got off very lightly. Instead of which, for the last 13 years the case has been hanging over his head and continues to do so, along with all the ugly publicity.
Now what happens if you own up? There is no guarantee that the legal system will deal with you leniently because you have admitted your guilt. Let's look at the positives though. Since you had no wilful intention to harm, this is one factor in your favour. If you are prepared to make amends to those who suffered due to your actions, it is quite possible (again there are no guarantees) that they may not take action against you. You are in a stronger position (morally speaking) to negotiate. Most of all, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you have stood your ground and had the courage to face a crisis. .
Running away is never a solution; it is, in fact, an admission of guilt. Never run away from a difficult situation. That's lesson number one.
Rahul Yadav, the reinstated CEO of Housing.com (his financial backers persuaded him to stay on), told his employees on the day that he withdrew his resignation, "I'm still your CEO. Have fun." Seriously? Would you like to continue to work for such a man, who has such a high-handed attitude?
Just to fill you in on the details, Rahul Yadav is one of the dozen-odd co-founders of the property search web portal and the CEO of the company, which was set up in 2010. It has been in the news recently for the large amount of funding it got from venture firms including Japan's Softbank. Yadav, an IIT dropout, seems to have a volatile temper. He also has a disposition that makes him have frequent run-ins not only with his co-founders but also with the investor community. He acts the part of the typical arrogant super brat entrepreneur-in-a-hurry, who is out to change the rules and make it big.
Arrogance is acceptable in an established genius who has proved his or her superior talent again and again..But, rude and crass behaviour is never – and I repeat, NEVER – acceptable. I know that there is a certain glamorous appeal associated with the image of a haughty, swaggering, self-opinionated, and aggressive go-getting entrepreneur but you have to draw the line at being abusive, insulting and throwing tantrums.
Which is what Yadav did.Since he couldn't get the board members to agree with him about certain decisions regarding the company he quit, telling the board (and investors) that they did not have the intellectual ability to have 'sensible discussions'. That behaviour is like that of a child refusing to play with his mates, because they don't listen to what he says.
This is another form of running away.
What do you want to be known for? For your achievements in the company or that you are having frequent arguments with your co-workers? Or that you would rather quit than face the opposition? Let's face it – nobody likes to work for or with a person who has an uncertain temper and is likely to fly off the handle at the least provocation. You have to be a person of extraordinary talents and abilities for people to tolerate that kind of behaviour.
And anyway, why do you need to be unnecessarily aggressive with people? Evidence shows that many overtly aggressive personalities have an inferiority complex or are insecure about their abilities and position. They often use that aggression to hide their perceived shortcomings.
You can achieve more with a softer approach and being polite than shouting at people and ordering them around. So every time you feel the urge to hammer down the opposition by raising your voice and making personal remarks – stop, think and reflect.
And never quit because you feel unable to convince others of your beliefs and convictions. Being a quitter is as bad as running away. That's lesson number two.
Meanwhile Housing.com is looking around for CEOs. Care to apply?

'Believe' by Peter Sharrock
TANDANYA: An Indigenous artist of Eastern Arrernte descent, Sharrock works in a variety of mediums, including acrylics, ochre and ceramics, focusing on line, texture, shadow and tone.
When one thinks of Indigenous art, traditional dot paintings often come to mind; but as long demonstrated by urban Indigenous artists such as Gordon Bennett, Judy Watson, Tracey Moffatt, Richard Bell and Sally Morgan, and more recently by the likes of Ben McKeown, Kamahi-Djordon King, and Naretha Williams, contemporary Indigenous art is as diverse as Indigenous culture as a whole.
Tandanya, Adelaide's National Aboriginal Cultural Institute, is currently hosting an exhibition, Believe, by Adelaide-born artist and writer, Peter Sharrock, who has used a number of alternative methods in his practice, whilst paying homage to some traditional approaches.
Utilising mixed media to convey his personal identity and cultural heritage, Sharrock also tell the story of universally shared human emotions and experiences.
All of Sharrock's pieces emanate a sense of earthiness and a connection to the land with flowing lines, irregular shapes, and earthy tones: ochre, green, grey; the shadows of which are cast against light backgrounds.
His piece, Lung, is the outline of human lungs, painted with ochre on stiffened white paper. While it is obvious that the piece depicts a set of lungs, the flowing lines also mimic the shadows cast by a tree branch. There is a connection between the two that cannot be ignored; humans and trees depend on each other for life.
As a writer, Sharrock offers us the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of his pieces with insightful poems in place of descriptions. For example, he writes in his poem, Lung, "we forget how important the air is that we breathe".
Holes feature significantly in Sharrock's work. In his Feeding Emotional Poverty series of tiles and his Coolamon series of dishes, Sharrock has taken normally functional pieces and put holes in them, thus removing their utility.
He does this to demonstrate how those who hang on to their emotional issues have emotional holes that perpetually increase, as they continue to cling to them.
Sharrock invites us to take a step back from our hectic and often emotionally draining lives to remember small joys, togetherness, and the triumph we feel when overcoming adversity through strength of character. He does this with a unique and contemporary take on traditional Indigenous expression.

Staten Island father, son indicted in new mob sweep
Updated Mar 21, 2019; Posted Feb 28, 2008
By Staten Island Advance
An alleged Rossville mobster collected money for his imprisoned father, a high-ranking Luchese crime family member, feds charged today in an indictment that named eight on racketeering and drug charges, including three Staten Islanders.
Salvatore Cutaia, 48, of Charleston Avenue, was a "low-ranking member of the Luchese family doing the bidding of a higher-ranking member" while reputed "longtime" Luchese capo Domenico "Danny" Cutaia, 71, of Alverson Avenue, served time from 1997 to 1999, feds alleged.
The Cutaias, along with John Baudanza, 38, of Maryland Avenue, Rosebank, were arrested at their homes today in a second mob sweep in as many weeks that targeted Staten Islanders.Domenico Cutaia is charged with several counts of racketeering, extortion, marijuana distribution, illegal gambling and conspiracy dating back to January 1980.
Salvatore Cutaia was also hit with racketeering, extortion and conspiracy counts. Like his father, the charges date back to January 1980 and run through February 2008.
Baudanza, Domenico Cutaia's son-in-law and "a made member of the Luchese family" according to feds, is scheduled to begin serving 87 months in prison on March 3 following a separate conviction on charges he fronted a phony hedge-fund office in Eltingville that raked in more than $20 million in a mob-controlled stock fraud scheme.
The fresh charges of racketeering, extortion conspiracy and bank fraud allege that Baudanza extorted two "John Doe" government witnesses who feds say would testify at trial.
If convicted on the new charges, Baudanza faces a maximum 30 years behind bars that could run consecutive to the seven and one-third years term he begins on Monday.
Feds are also seeking to seize Baudanza's Maryland Avenue home as partial restitution for the proceeds he allegedly received through racketeering.
Former Annadale resident Victor Sperber, 57, of Long Island; Michael "Mikey Bones" Corcione, 67, of Cedarhurst; Louis Colello, 64, of Howard Beach; John Rodopolous, 46, of Scarsdale; and Steven Lapella, 45, were also arrested in today's Luchese sweep.

Q: How to retrieve access_token from Azure Active Directory (AAD) Web API I am building a web app with the following properties:

*

*The Front-end is based on VueJS

*The Back-end framework is still not confirmed but it will be a RESTFul API

*The users for the app will be authenticated by Azure Active Directory (AAD)

Here's what I have done so far:
I have set up a Web App/API in my AAD. Along with that following the guidelines here, I have completely secured my VueJS app and now I need to be logged in into my AAD in order to be able to use the app.
The problem now is that, the front-end is secured. But what about the backend? I am trying to get an access_token from the AAD which I can then use as an authorization header with every request to my backend later on.
Here is what I get from my AAD when I sign in using the AuthenticationContext from the adal library.

As you can see I am getting an id_token and when I use the acquireToken function of adal I get an id_token again.
Is there anything I am doing wrong here? Do I need to create another Web App/API on Azure?
How do I go about this?
Thanks!

A: According to official documentation and this might be your case.
"The OAuth 2.0 implicit flow in Azure AD is designed to return an ID token when the resource for which the token is being requested is the same as the client application. In other words, when the JS client uses ADAL JS to request a token for its own backend web API registered with same App ID as the client, an ID token is returned and cached by the library. Note that in this case the resource should be set to the App ID of the client (App ID URI will not work). This ID token can then be used as a bearer token in the calls to your application's backend API."
You can find more about this here!

Where in the world is Greta Thunberg?
She was missing recently from the UN. Is she due for a rebrand?
Greta Thunberg (Getty)
Chadwick Moore
By Chadwick Moore
https://thespectator.com/topic/where-in-the-world-is-greta-thunberg/
When the United Nations General Assembly convened in New York in September, climate-watchers may have noticed a pesky, pigtailed vacuum. Greta Thunberg, who spent the summer of 2019 stalking the East Coast after taking a prince of Monaco's yacht across the Atlantic, reached her zenith that September — the last time this body met in person — at the Climate Action Summit where she delivered her creepy, memed-into-oblivion "how dare you" speech.
But the chilling little entity straight out of Kubrick was notably absent at this year's assembly, at a time when the Biden administration is...
But the chilling little entity straight out of Kubrick was notably absent at this year's assembly, at a time when the Biden administration is pushing climate hysteria more fervently than ever. In a room full of Jeffrey Epstein's favorite people, perhaps she's aged out of relevance — she turned nineteen this year — or maybe it's her message that's no longer in vogue. The same month her own nation, Sweden, elected what the papers call a "far-right" government (a catch-all label slapped on any group suspected of not taking money from George Soros). During the Swedish election, the left focused on green energy and global warming; conservatives zeroed in on immigration and crime. 2022 was set to become the worst year on record for gang violence in Sweden and reports of street crime flared up in Swedish headlines just ahead of the election.
The right also had the upper hand on energy, with Swedish voters drawn away from their leftist parties, especially the Greens, over Europe's soaring energy prices. Two weeks later, Italy followed suit when it elected Giorgia Meloni prime minister. The Atlantic marked the election of Italy's first female prime minister by declaring "the return of fascism in Italy." CNN called Meloni "Italy's most far-right prime minister since Mussolini." Ahead of the September 25 election, desperate climate activists staged a sit-in at frontrunner Meloni's Rome office. Their hissy-fit fell on deaf ears; democracy was inconveniently on the march across the continent as voters expressed their waning interest in climate gospel when faced with more pressing daily issues.
Why California's rainstorm 'disaster' is a blessing
Putin's plan to freeze Europe has failed
How the population scare predicted today's climate hysteria
Fusion energy and the coming fight for the Moon
Vladimir Putin remains the borscht-colored elephant in the room. Sanctions on Russia following Putin's invasion of Ukraine have Europeans scrambling. Winter is coming and the continent needs gas. Deutsche Bank has warned that Germans may have to switch to burning wood to keep their homes warm. Amid the crunch, Romania, Estonia and Finland have amped up clearcutting ancient forests to harvest trees for power. As temperatures began to cool, the video platform Twitch blocked the channel of a Russian man who was broadcasting a 24-hour stream of his gas stove on full blast to taunt Europeans. In late September, Viktor Orbán, the conservative prime minister of Hungary, announced his nation would hold a referendum on the European Union sanctions imposed on Russia, saying "the sanctions were not decided democratically, but were decided by Brussels bureaucrats and European elites."
As the popularity of her signature issue proves as volatile as the weather itself, Thunberg may be stepping back to rebrand as a more general-use left-wing scold. In 2021, she threatened to boycott the UN climate summit, COP26 in Glasgow, over something called "vaccine inequality." While the last two years did prove without question that not all vaccines are equal (in safety and effectiveness), Thunberg's hubbub instead had something to do with rich nations not providing enough of their vaccines to poor countries. She ended up attending the summit in Glasgow anyway but left early, telling a crowd outside the gathering that global warming was the result of a system based on "the idea that some people are worth more than others" and attention should instead focus on "root causes."
It's a slippery, inevitable slope from save the polar bears to the white man makes the weather and it's racist. Polar bears, for one, are doing great. There are nearly three times more alive in the wild today than when we began tracking them in the 1960s. This explains why you never hear about them anymore unless you live in Churchill, Manitoba. Humans, too, are faring well, on track to reach population 8 billion later this century. Meanwhile, Thunberg, in the two-hundred-somethingth week of her school strike, is going to need more stable speaking engagements and social justice is a-callin'. As Politico noted recently, Thunberg "is being driven by a different message: listen to the most vulnerable — and help them build the fair future they demand."
Either that or the climate bosses, sensing their best way to maintain power is obfuscation, have put their teenage puppet on the backburner. Four days after the UN General Assembly concluded in New York, a few blocks west in Central Park, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared onstage at a music festival to lecture attendees about global warming. Dressed in all white (after Labor Day, too!) she was met with boos and groans from a crowd of thousands. The shaky old crone, shrill voice warbling over the jeers, was not expecting this rebuff from young people in the heart of liberal New York City. This was supposed to be the climate base — and the consternation on Pelosi's face seemed to say it all: how dare you?

Allen Clapp, the lead singer and songwriter of West-Coast indiepop band The Orange Peels, is never content to re-visit familiar musical terrain. In 1994, under the monicker Allen Clapp and his Orchestra, he surprised the world with "One Hundred Percent Chance of Rain" — an album he recorded on a batter-powered four-track cassette deck in the bedrooms, churches and VW vans of his native Northern California.
Clapp is transforming expectations yet again in 2012: leading listeners on an adventure in soundscapes and songcraft sparking with palpable energy. Clapp somehow navigates 70s Nashville pop, Rundgren-esque soft-rock and slick Eurodisco with a Brill-Building songwriting prowess that unifies his vision for the future of pop.
Created at his own Silicon Valley-based Mystery Lawn Studio, "Mixed Greens" is an entirely new breed of cat. "Downfall No. 3" has something of the right-hand turn Brian Wilson once made when he ditched surf 'n' psych for the soulful sounds of "Wild Honey." "All or Nothing" adds something new to the morning weather report: an overriding sense of melancholy. And the majestic "Treeline," with its stepladder modulations and heart-wrenching vocals, leads the man into virgin forests and blazing, New-World sunsets.
This is the music Allen Clapp was born to create.
"If sunshine were audible, it would probably sound a lot like Allen Clapp's music . . . 'Mixed Greens' is a welcome ray of musical sunshine and yet another masterstroke from Mr. Clapp"
"The total effect is something like Todd Rundgren from his 'Hellow, It's Me' days with the Nazz and later solo ventures like 'Something/Anything?' It feels like a direction he's always meant to take."
"If the Zombies, the pillowy billowy 60s baroque pop band, were instead actual zombies, the brain they would want to eat the most would be, no, the guy from the Shins is a good guess, Mr. Allen Clapp, whose midcentury modernist post-pastoral swoon-rock occasionally causes me to make noises surprisingly wimpy for a man of my machismo."

Souris, P.E.I. holds 41st annual Christmas parade in reverse
Logan MacLean · Reporter | Posted: Dec. 5, 2021, 12:03 p.m. | Updated: Dec. 5, 2021, 2:50 p.m. | 1 Min Read
The town of Souris held its 41st annual Christmas Parade on Saturday, Dec. 4. The town held it as a reverse parade, where cars of attendees drive past stationary floats, in order to follow pandemic protocols.
While the 41st Annual Souris Christmas Parade was held in reverse this year to meet pandemic protocols, some guests, like those on the right, took a horse-and-wagon to the event rather than a car.
SOURIS, P.E.I. — The town of Souris held its 41st annual Christmas Parade on Saturday, Dec. 4.
The town held the spectacle as a reverse parade, where those attending the parade drove past stationary floats, in order to follow pandemic protocols.
Candy was handed out at the beginning of the parade route, and donations to the P.E.I. Humane Society and letters to Santa were collected from vehicles along the way. At least one group rode the parade route in a horse and carriage, but walking was not permitted.
Santa and Mrs. Claus waited at the end of the route to wish all a Merry Christmas.

Small business owners who are looking for business loans in New Orleans are often surprised when their banks turn down their funding requests, or reject their loan applications. There are a number of reasons for this, however one of the primary reasons is banks consider small businesses to be a high risk investment.
Funding Easily is a private lender and our criteria for providing small and medium sized businesses with small business loans in New Orleans is very different from banks. Some of the advantages are quick turnaround time, the quickest we can process a loan application is 48 to 72 hours from the time of receiving the loan application. Banks generally take 2 to 6 months to do the same.
Other advantages are the criteria associated with the quick small business loans in New Orleans. Our criteria is simple, the business needs to be over 12 months old, the business needs to have a gross monthly sale of at least $15 thousand, and the owner of the business should not be in bankruptcy at the time of application. In comparison banks require a long list of documentation which should all paint a very healthy and profitable picture of the business, if not the application will be reject.
We provide business loans for professionals and small business loans New Orleans also. Most self-employed professionals particularly face obstacles obtaining a loan from the bank. Banks reject approximately 90% of all small business applications they receive.
Professionals are consider to be high risk for the simple reason that the amount of work they do personally determines their income. This is what the banks consider to be a high risk, in the event they are unable to recover their investment. We provide small business loans New Orleans for professionals based on our criteria which is reasonable and realistic.
More information can be obtain regarding small business loans in New Orleans by contacting us. Our funding team will provide you with information and assist you with the application process also if necessary.
