The dive king of Bandra and a favourite amongst Mumbaikars too. It's the suburbs' answer to Gokul in Colaba and Sunlight in Dhobi Talao. Yes, we're talking about Bandra's Janta Bar and Restaurant. What looks like a small bar from the outside at Pali Hill has given alcohol lovers countless stories and drunk tales aplenty over the years. While we can't get enough of the reasonable booze at this watering hole, a special mention goes to the 'chakna' that makes for a memorable munch.
You really can't ask for more with this crunchy and tasty appetizer. Does anyone refuse Masala Papad? Crispy papad topped with the perfect balance of onions, tomatoes and chilly. Don't even get us started on the touch of lime, that gives it a sour taste. This one's absolute heaven!
An ideal companion to go with your drinks and the best part is, you won't even feel heavy. That only means you'll end up drinking more. Talk about a win-win situation.
Drinkers around the country are in love with this spiral sensation. We can only marvel at how simple and yet so tasty, this savory snack made with rice flour is. You'll have no complaints with chakli; you just can't.
But the pressing question that every chakli fan spends hours contemplating is: Is Chakli better with Schezwan Sauce or Green Chutney?
Don't be surprised to see this figure on our list. There's a reason why these small wonders are complimentary at some bars. We wish this was the case at Janta too, but that shouldn't stop you from ordering this salty snack to go down with your booze.
We'll let you in on a secret; salt helps reduce the bitterness and makes the drink, especially beer, a lot smooth. Easier drinking leads to faster consumption, and faster consumption leads to more beer purchases, which is exactly what those bar owners want.
Chinese food and Alcohol is a match made in heaven. Be it paneer or chicken, foodies flock to Janta to try out the Chilli Chicken and the Paneer Chilli. After all, they're the two most popular Chinese recipes in town. So you're sorted, in both vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian departments. If you want something that's just the right amount to go with your drink, you know what to order now.
Looking for a chicken appetizer that's spicy and full of flavor? All you need is a chicken lollipop. Filled with different spices that blend together, it gives a lip-smacking start to your drinking session at Janta. Don't we just love dunking our favourite appetizer into the Szechwan sauce that comes along with it? We sure do.
Well, all this food has sure got our mouths watering. We're heading to our favourite watering hole in Bandra. It's time to dig in and enjoy the booze.


Measles, mumps and rubella vaccines.
On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 90 more cases of measles in the last week, bringing the total number this year to 555 and leading health officials to boost efforts to stop the spread of the highly contagious virus.
Florida's only case of measles in 2019 is in Broward County, an adult who acquired measles from outside the United States. Nationally, there have been measles cases reported in 20 states, and as the numbers climb, 2019 could soon become the worst since the disease was officially eliminated in 2000. Until now, 2014 was the worst year on record with 667 cases reported, according to the CDC.
The health department said the disease is spread through the air by breathing, coughing, or sneezing and can be spread four days before the first symptom appears. It is requesting measles testing for anyone who presents with a combination of symptoms. After three to five days of the measles infection, a rash breaks out that usually begins around the face and neck and spreads to the rest of the body. There is no cure for measles, just treatment of the symptoms.
The number of students entering Florida schools without vaccines is on the rise, and health officials worry that the highly infectious measles virus — once eradicated across the United States — could get another chance to cause an outbreak.
The states that have reported cases to CDC this year are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, and Washington. Of those, five states have reported outbreaks, with five or more cases. The CDC said these outbreaks are linked to travelers who brought measles back from other countries such as Israel, Ukraine, and the Philippines, where large measles outbreaks are occurring. U.S. health officials have boosted efforts to encourage vaccination.
In 2018, Florida had its largest number of measles cases in an eight-year period. In 2018, a total of 15 Florida residents and four visitors with measles spent time in the state while infectious. The rise in measles cases come as more schoolchildren nationwide and in Florida have obtained exemptions from vaccination.

Home BUSINESS 30 Asia-based market strategists reveal how they're playing the U.S. election
30 Asia-based market strategists reveal how they're playing the U.S. election
Posted By: Editorial Teamon: October 06, 2020 In: BUSINESS, NEWS, POLITICSNo Comments
Stock market analysts in Asia clearly do not agree on who will win the U.S. presidential election. But they're pretty unified on how they plan to play it.
CNBC asked 30 strategists a series of questions about the U.S. election and their current investments, offering them anonymity in exchange for their views. All 30 respondents were based in the Asia-Pacific region.
CNBC carried out the email-based early last week, and subsequently followed up with the strategists to ask if they had changed their outlook following the first presidential debate and the news that President Donald Trump tested positive for coronavirus. (Of the 30 respondents, three modified their predictions on the election's outcome.)
Who wins in 2020?
The Asia-based investors were sharply divided on the central political question. Twelve analysts predicted a victory for former Vice President Joe Biden, 11 predicted a contested election, and seven picked Trump to win.
The Democrats have given no indication that they will be any easier on China than the GOP.
Asia-based market strategist
"This (diagnosis) news adds some uncertainty, and Biden has gained a bit with market predictors," one analyst said via e-mail. "But too much is still unknown to expect a change yet."
How strategists are playing the vote
A clear majority of market analysts polled by CNBC are raising cash and buying relatively safe assets such as gold ahead of the Nov. 3 vote. Nineteen of the 30 strategists said they are increasing their cash holdings, including the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen. They're also moving into gold and U.S. Treasurys.
Ten of 30 said it's a good time to rotate out of expensive stocks such as technology shares and into less popular sectors: They identified travel and tourism, as well as stocks that track the wider economy including banks and industrials. Buying more "defensive" stocks like health care, consumer goods and dividend stocks is another investment strategy that was identified.
Only one of the 30 market players polled by CNBC sees value in alternative investments including real estate investment trusts (REITs), infrastructure bonds, or the much-discussed "ESG" funds that factor environmental, social and governance factors into their holdings.
China tech vs U.S. tech
Asked which they find more attractive between U.S. technology stocks or Chinese tech names, a clear majority — 18 of the 30 Asia-based analysts — cited Chinese companies as their preferred choice.
"Asian tech is cheaper than the U.S., less risk of tradable options, and less regulatory risk," said one, who explained that speculative options trading linked to U.S. tech names makes them more volatile than their Asian counterparts.
Another strategist said that "a Biden win could subject U.S. technology to greater regulation."
The IPO markets in Hong Kong, mainland China and South Korea have drawn much investor interest in 2020, and "that interest is only set to grow," said another respondent.
The scheduled initial public offering of Chinese financial technology company Ant Group "will spur upward revaluations in tech" in Asia, said another analyst. Alibaba affiliate Ant Group, which is still controlled by Alibaba founder Jack Ma, operates the wildly popular Alipay mobile payment app in China.
Outlook for Asia markets
Sixteen of 30 market experts said they're bullish on Asian markets, despite the near-term volatility. Those respondents said they believe Asia has more upside once the election risk is out of the way, given the apparent fading of the coronavirus in Asia and signs of economic recovery.
"We are constructive for 2021 outlook and expect Asian markets to bounce back eventually, should we see volatility in the next couple of months around U.S. elections," said one strategist.
"That said," the strategist continued, "Asian equities will likely outperform U.S. equities in the near term," especially if Biden wins the election, "which could weigh on U.S. equities but will likely have limited direct fundamental impact on Asian equities."
Biden vs Trump: Which countries benefit?
The strategists said a Biden victory would be most positive for China, Japan and South Korea, while a Trump win would be beneficial for India, Vietnam, the Philippines and also Taiwan.
Biden as president would be expected to take a more moderate approach toward China, whereas a Trump reelection would be seen strengthening India's position in order to counterbalance China's dominance.
"India always needs a common enemy for political purposes, and recent altercations with Pakistan and China have been politically popular," one analyst said. "Continuing this, Trump's blessing has only strengthened [Indian Prime Minister Narendra] Modi's position. Taiwan also will find more support from the U.S. under Trump — this is China's red line, and Trump knows when to push this button."
U.S.-China relations
But a moderate tone toward China from a President Biden may not translate into less tension between the world's two biggest economies.
"The Democrats have given no indication that they will be any easier on China than the GOP" has been, said one of the participants.
That view came through clearly among the 30 poll respondents when they were asked what a Biden presidency would mean for U.S.-China relations. Even under Biden, tensions with China will continue, because "the entire foreign policy, defense and intelligence establishment in the U.S. are anti-China," as one said.
Still, most analysts said that a second Trump term could bring higher tension around Hong Kong, human rights and the Covid-19 pandemic. And an economic "decoupling" between the two countries would remain in the cards.
Online reputation repair involves a number of steps and methods. First of all, finding out the main cause and issue that lead to negative online reviews and content, and fixing the related problem, is key to avoiding additional negative reviews and eliminating further damage to online reputation.

What I Learned About eCommerce at NASA
I am watching three computer screens at once, one showing the Space Shuttle's location in orbit, the other two filled with data displays. It's 1997 and I am a flight controller working at Mission Control at NASA-Johnson Space Center (NASA-JSC) in Houston, Texas as a Data Communications Officer. It's my job to manage the onboard data recorders on the Space Shuttle.
As I watch the progress of the recorders on my display, one stops recording. I send a command to the Space Shuttle to turn it back on. It doesn't respond. I turn the other recorder on, but that recorder is nearly full.
On my headset, I hear chatter as I monitor multiple audio loops to stay abreast of what is happening in systems that may affect mine. I select the audio loop to contact the Instrumentation and Communications Officer (INCO) – the flight controller I report to – and I alert him that the recorder has stopped and my attempt to turn it back on has failed.
I can feel my heart rate accelerate. What should I do? Stay calm. Follow your procedure. You know what to do. INCO asks me for my recommendation. I tell him that, when available, we need the crew to follow the onboard procedures for a recorder restart. I listen as INCO contacts the Flight Director, who authorizes the message to be sent via the Capsule Communicator (CAPCOM) – an astronaut working in Mission Control and the only individual on the ground that all shuttle communications go through. CAPCOM calls the shuttle. The astronauts receive the message and I anxiously wait to see if my recorder will come back online.
Fortunately, this was just a simulation. Actually, things didn't go wrong that often during the Space Shuttle missions I worked, and when they did, we knew what to do, because of all of our training.
My experience at NASA-JSC started in the fall of 1993. As a Computer-Electrical Engineering student at Purdue University, I was selected to participate in NASA's co-op program, an opportunity for me to work every other semester at NASA while I was in college. After graduating, I went to work for them full-time.
Being at NASA was an amazing experience. I was working next to brilliant people who were committed to excellence and had a high attention to detail.
Today, I still work with a team of brilliant people, only now we focus on B2B eCommerce projects. There are many things that I have gleaned from my experience at NASA that apply to the work we do today.
Practice. Practice. Practice.
Launching a new eCommerce site is a big deal. Maybe not quite like launching a shuttle, but in the same way it was important to run simulations of Space Shuttle missions, it is important to rehearse the launch of an eCommerce site.
One way we do this is to perform what we call a "Mock Go Live" for new site launches. When we do a Mock Go Live, we pretend we are taking the site live. We run through our processes with the most recent set of data and test the site with other systems, to ensure we know how everything will work.
We typically discover something that needs to be tweaked. The key is identifying – through practice – how we make the real Go Live as efficient and uneventful as possible.
No Single Point of Failure
Every critical system onboard the Space Shuttle was designed with redundancy. The Space Shuttle used five redundant IBM 32-bit general purpose computers to form the Data Processing System (DPS). After a single failure, the Shuttle would still continue its mission. After a second failure, it could still return to Earth and land safely.
Similarly, in the world of eCommerce, it is important to think about where a single failure could bring down your site or interrupt your user's experience. A few areas we commonly create redundancy is within hosting environments and for data integrations.
There is a need to understand the cost and likelihood of the risk compared to the cost of maintaining a redundant system. Some risks may be acceptable for your business, while others may not be.
Processes Minimize Mistakes
At NASA, there was a great amount of attention directed at documentation, training, and process. When I trained to become a certified Data Communications Officer, it required me to go through a series of workbooks, computer-based learning, written tests, simulations, and shadowing other flight controllers on missions.
Astronauts trained for every possible scenario in environments that were as true to life as possible including cockpit simulators, flight simulators, zero-gravity plane flights on a KC-135A, and the Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF), which allowed astronauts to practice spacewalks.
When astronauts or flight controllers were training for their job, it was key to have checklists and procedures that they could follow to ensure that, in a potentially stressful situation, they knew exactly what they needed to do.
In the same way, we need to look for processes that can be repeated in our B2B eCommerce world, document those processes, train for them and refine them over time. Having a process enables us to have discussions about how we might improve it and to tweak it over time. Then each of our customers benefits from the collective experience of our team.
Houston, We've Got a Problem
"We have customers calling and reporting that they are unable to check out but we can't recreate the problem here. We know it's working for some of our customers but not others."
"Our eCommerce site is sporadically going down. It just started a week ago and no one has made any changes."
These are examples of some of the requests for help we receive. To assist these clients, we end up playing the role of a data detective. Solving problems like these can be tricky. You have to have a good knowledge of the system as a whole to figure out what is happening.
While at NASA, I also worked as an Instrumentation Officer (INST). In that role, I needed to have an understanding of how the data sensors on board the Shuttle were related at a system level. For example, could a circuit failure be causing a set of sensors to be reporting low values? If so, people might misinterpret the data and be working the wrong problem.
In the same way, we need to be on the lookout for problems that aren't what they might appear to be at first glance. Sometimes problems appear to be one thing, when in fact they are something completely different.
Go For Launch
Training, preparing for what might go wrong, and practicing major events teaches you that you can overcome difficult situations. You gain confidence in yourself and in your team. When it comes to the real thing, you feel good because you know you are prepared. You worked through the stuff that was difficult and overcame it. You have a team around you who have done the same.
Be sure your own development team is set up to ensure your B2B eCommerce site offers an experience that is out of this world!

Why Manufacturers Can't Ignore eCommerce
The competition, efficiency and cost benefits are three prime reasons why manufacturers are starting to emerge online.
For the Manufacturer: How Can Mobile eCommerce Benefit You?
What solutions are proving the most valuable to other manufacturers? The answer really depends on how you sell, what you sell, and your business initiatives and goals. Here are a few areas where we have seen manufacturers grow their profits using mobile eCommerce.


A Unix user account needs to be created to manage the PostgreSQL database. Typically this user is called postgres, but can be anything that you choose. For consistency through out the book, the user postgres is considered the PostgreSQL root or super-user.
In order to create the PostgreSQL super-user, you will need to have root privileges. On a Linux machine you can use the following commands to add the postgres user.
Do not try to use the user root as the PostgreSQL super-user. It presents a large security hole, and the system will not allow it.
As the installation of PostgreSQL was done as the root user you will have to change the ownership of the PostgreSQL data directory before use. On Linux/Unix you can use the following command. Using the -R will cause a recursive change of ownership.

Hungarian employees benefit from Euroapi share program
Zsuzsanna Diószegi
Euroapi, a leading player in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), has launched an employee share program for the first time.
"With this initiative, the company's goal is to promote the ownership role of its employees and to connect them more closely with the effectiveness and long-term development of the company group," said Zsuzsanna Diószegi, managing director of Euroapi Hungary Kft.
The subscription period of the "Euroapi Action 2022" program lasted from June 10-24. In addition to those operating in the Hungarian market, employees from six other countries who work for a subsidiary that is at least 50% owned by Euroapi and has joined the group-level savings plan had the opportunity to benefit from the initiative.
"It is important that the acquired shares are subject to a lock-up period until May 31, 2027, i.e., they cannot be sold for five years, except in a few exceptional cases," added Cecilia Makláry, HR manager at Euroapi Hungary.
Euroapi focuses on reinventing active ingredient solutions to meet the needs of its partners and patients worldwide. The Hungarian chemical site employs nearly 900 people, manufactures more than 50 active ingredients, and has strong expertise in high-performance materials.
Euroapi is the world's leading manufacturer of prostaglandins, and among its other products are active ingredients used to treat blood pressure, antispasmodics, and rheumatoid arthritis.
The group develops and sells APIs to more than 500 customers through its API Solutions business unit and contract development and manufacturing organization. Euroapi, the market leader in small molecule active ingredients, currently has a diversified portfolio of around 200 active ingredients.
The company was set up by French pharma giant Sanofi last year as a standalone company to combine Sanofi's API commercial and development activities with six of its European production sites: Brindisi (Italy), Frankfurt Chemistry (Germany), Haverhill (UK), St Aubin les Elbeuf (France), Újpest (Hungary) and Vertolaye (France).

Well I guess that's what happens when you go off on holiday… Since I've left the UK I've read three books and I'm nearly done with my fourth–Mark Edwards's The Magpies, which is fantastic. All the books this month have ranged from ok to spectacular–not a disliked book in the whole bunch which is pretty good for having read ten! I'd highly recommend Reconstructing Amelia. I literally read it in a day–it's fast paced and, in my opinion, better than Gone Girl and The Silent Wife and others of that ilk.

Wow, awesome reading month! I really want to get my hands on Reconstructing Amelia now.
Doooo it! It's so good!


In a vision, Ezekiel was carried to a valley of old, dry bones, and Ezekiel spoke the Words of the Lord, whereby the bones came together, became covered with skin, and became alive again. This was a symbol of the Hebrews, with all hope seeming to be gone, returning once again to their own land and thriving.
" I will bring you from the nations...I will execute judgment upon you." (Ezekiel 20:34-35).
"...'Wail...' For... the day of the Lord is near -- a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations." (Ezekiel 30:2-3).
Ezekiel implies that Gog (representing all forces of evil) from the land of Magog will be finished "in the latter years of history."
"And I will set up One Shepherd over them (i.e., all God's people), and He shall feed them, even My servant David; He shall feed them, and He shall be their Shepherd." (Ezekiel 34:23 from King James' Version).
"And I will raise up for them a Plant of Renown..." (Ezekiel 34:29 from King James' Version).
Ezekiel compared the Southern Kingdom (including Jerusalem and the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin) and the Northern Kingdom (including the other ten tribes, and called "Israel") to prostitutes because of their idol worship that led to their destruction (Ezekiel 23). However, when the Hebrews were brought back to Jerusalem, Ezekiel felt that all the twelve tribes of Israel would be united with a new Temple in Jersualem (this vision given in Ezekiel 40-48), with priests from the sons of Zadok of the tribe of Levi and with no foreigner able to enter the sanctuary of the Temple, a strict Hebrew belief, probably from Ezekiel being a priest.

Pension analysts say that immediate annuity plans could generate guaranteed income at the rate of 7.44% to 9.78%, owing to the falling interest regime expected in India, says an article published in The Times of India in December 2015. Unlike the developed nations, where the government has a national social security system to take care of its elderly citizens, India has no such setup. Therefore, it is essential that you plan your retirement as early as possible. The IRDA has made it mandatory for individuals receiving retirement money to invest one-third of it in an annuity product.
What Does Immediate Annuity Offer?
One Time Premium Payment – There is a one-time premium payment both for one life and for joint annuity.
Immediate Payment – After paying the premium, the payouts start one month, three months, six months or after a year, depending on the type of payout option chosen (monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, yearly).
For Anyone Above the Age of 40 – You can buy annuity for yourself (which starts after the age of 40) or for your parents or other relatives who are above the age of 40.
Different Options to Choose From – You can choose from a wide range of options, such as annual increase, capita refund, capital refund in parts and balanced capital refund. In the annual increase option, payouts increase over time. In capital refund and capital refund in parts, the amount is paid to the nominee after the death of the annuitant. In balanced capital refund, the nominee is only paid after the death of the annuitant if there is any positive balance left after deducting the annuities paid from the premium.
Additional Benefit – You can also opt for an accidental death rider by paying an additional single premium. In such a case, the nominee will get 12 times your annual payout in the event of your accidental demise.
If case of an immediate annuity plan, you can also buy a new plan every year or every few years to enhance your annuities with your changing needs.

What I know and want to know about A Rose for Emily
What do you want to know more about when reading "A Rose for Emily"?
While reading A Rose for Emily I wanted to know why the author started off the story by saying that Miss Emily Grierson died. This way of starting the story off in my point of view is to set up for the rest of the story. It's like a preview to what will come later. The author tells us that she dies and then starts to tell us about Miss Emily Grierson.
"Alive, Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary obligation upon the town, dating from that day in 1894 when Colonel Sartoris, the mayor–he who fathered the edict that no Negro woman should appear on the streets without an apron-remitted her taxes, the dispensation dating from the death of her father on into perpetuity."
Also I wanted to know more about what Miss Emily did as a occupation.

I do think that your question is important, about what Emily did to earn all of her money. Since this story takes place in the South in a time where it was rare for women to be property owners and when slavery was still prevalent. I would assume that Emily's family was wealthy and then upon their passing she inherited everything. I also agree that by not having the events in the story unfold chronologically the author sets up the rest of the story, wondering how Emily died, and it could either create or destroy any emotional connection to her character because of her predetermined fate.

One is about when the story takes place. The whole story, from the earliest point told in flashback, is after slavery has ended in the US. We can spend some time reading through to see what makes us think it's earlier or later than it is.
That Faulkner begins this story with Emily having already died alters time in the story. Rather than moving through the story chronologically, the actions of the story are DEATH –> FUNERAL –> NEIGHBORS COME INSIDE HER HOME, with everything else taking place in the past. So the span of the present in the story is quite short, and the rest recollected in the past. The death frames the story, rather than saving it for the ending. We as readers know that the rest of the story will tell us what we need to know about this person who has died. We could say that the funeral frames the story.
About how Emily made money: she doesn't. She also doesn't pay taxes. It's not clear she pays Tobe. We can discuss further in class.
Linh Ngo February 20, 2018 at 8:28 pm
I also have notice that the point that the author started the story by informing the readers that Emily Grierson died. It is in my opinion a way that the author is trying to make the reader more drawn to the mystery of how she die, and the reason behind everything. Is a way to excite the readers and give them a sense of feel that there is more to the story, but at the same time letting the reader know ahead.
Madycyn February 20, 2018 at 8:36 pm
i Agree i want to know why and how emily paid for everything she had also why did the colonel have such a soft spot for emily. Did others ever even met emily for them to judge and be so curious about her. Also who was this mystery man that she killed and where did he come from? also did she ever love him.
Muhammad Qasim February 20, 2018 at 9:34 pm
I also agree, the first sentence of the story does create a lot of suspense. However, I wonder why Miss Emily killed Homer Barron. Wasn't she interested in him? The author states, "…he liked men, and it was known that he drank with the younger men in the Elks' Club." This shows that Miss Emily may have been jealous since Homer liked men. I think that she killed Homer because she loved him and probably wanted to keep his body by her side forever.
Jody R. Rosen February 21, 2018 at 12:51 pm
The "he liked men" statement is one we can think more carefully about. What is the narrator telling us? That Homer doesn't want to get married, but should we think more about that, think that it implies a sexual preference, or that he doesn't want to be married? How can these inform our understanding of what happened to motivate Emily to poison him?

What Biden's new agency for crypto regulation keeps
Goldman Sachs Warns Adoption Won't Boost Crypto Prices
On September 14, US President Joe Biden announced his election to fill two vacant seats on the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). In addition, the President nominated Rostin Behnam, who has been Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Authority for Derivatives since January, for the permanent office.
Appointments are unlikely to face any serious obstacles en route to confirmation, as nominees must obtain a simple majority in the now Democratic-controlled Senate. What can the crypto industry expect from the CFTC when Behnam takes over the permanent chairmanship and Kristin Johnson and Christy Goldsmith Romero join the panel as commissioners?
Increase the power of roses
In 2015, the CFTC introduced and defined Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital currencies as commodities under the US Commodity Exchange Act, thus joining the ranks of the participating US government agencies in the regulation of the crypto space. The Authority also asserts jurisdiction over cases where "virtual currencies are used in derivative contracts or where there is fraud or manipulation of virtual currencies traded in international trade".
The CFTC, which is said to have five strong men when fully occupied, was reduced to the incumbent chairman and two commissioners this year. Heath Tarbert, the previous chairman, resigned in March, Brian Quintenz resigned in late August and Dan Berkovitz, one of the remaining commissioners, announced his intention to resign on October 15.
The nominations come amid criticism that the Biden government has taken the time to fill vacancies in several key regulatory agencies, including the CFTC. If this is confirmed, the new additions to the agency would give the Democrats a 3-1 majority on the panel.
From the incumbent permanent chairman
Acting Chairman Behnam has been with the CFTC since July 2017 when he was sworn in as Commissioner. Under crypto-friendly President Giancarlo, Behnam has spoken extensively on several occasions about digital currencies and their transformative potential.
At a regulatory summit in 2018, Behnam first emphasized that cryptocurrencies – or virtual currencies in CFTC parlance – will "become part of the country's economic practice", small economies can become dependent on virtual assets for survival ". Finally, Behnam admits that the limits are within reach for regulators as digital currencies evolve:
"These currencies will be outside of traditional money brokers such as governments, banks, investors, ministries or international organizations."
Recently, the rightful CFTC chief spoke about the need to have constructive conversation between policymakers and innovators in the financial technology sector while keeping the urgency of American innovation at home. In his March 2020 comments on the Commission's approach to cryptocurrencies, Behnam said:
"I have long advocated a more inclusive conversation about the birth of financial technology, and I believe that a thorough study and discussion of the technology within its current regulatory and regulatory framework will best serve technologists, market participants and customers."
Sounds like what the industry is craving, doesn't it? However, it would be premature to rely solely on expectations of the future guidance of the derivatives regulator in making these statements. After all, like any US financial regulator whose legal goal is to protect market participants from the start, the CFTC can always be on the safe side when innovations are introduced that run counter to consumer safety.
Commenting on BitMEX's recent agreement with both the CFTC and FinCEN, Behnam said, "The CFTC will take immediate action as the CFTC's regulatory market activities raise concerns about customer protection and consumers."
Biden's two picks for the vacant CFTC commissioners are Emory University law professor Kristin Johnson and Christy Goldsmith Romero, the current inspector general of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, an enforcement agency.
Recent work by Professor Kristin Johnson focuses on the impact of emerging financial technologies, including distributed digital ledger technology (DLT) and artificial intelligence (AI), on financial regulation. Before her academic employment at Emory and before that at Tulane, she worked in corporate finance, in particular as Assistant General Counsel and Vice President at JP Morgan.
As the General Inspector of TARP, Christy Goldsmith Romero investigates the criminality of financial institutions in connection with the bailouts carried out under the program. In this role, she works closely with the SEC, an agency where she previously served as a senior advisor in the enforcement department.
On the surface, the trio appears to be a winning combination of an innovation-friendly president, a legal scholar with a deep understanding of cutting-edge financial technology, and an expert on financial crime.
Daniel Davis, partner at law firm Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP and former General Counsel of the CFTC, believes that any of Biden's recommendations have the potential to make positive changes in crypto regulation. The incumbent chairman, Behnam, would be in an excellent position if he were to take over the office on a permanent basis to drive the regulatory talks forward.
Related: Slow Start: Crypto regulators are lagging behind the blockchain industry
Additionally, Ms. Johnson and Ms. Goldsmith Romero bring excellent crypto-related credentials to their potential commissioners. Davis further noted the two nominees:
"Both taught crypto-related law courses. Ms. Johnson has also written extensively on topics such as financial services regulation and how decentralized finance (DeFi) can fit into the current regulatory structure with some innovative ideas. One would expect that if confirmed, crypto-related issues would form an important part of their respective agendas. "
In this context, it is indeed tempting to be optimistic about future reinforcements of the CFTC, albeit with some reservations. First, as the example of current SEC chief Gary Gensler shows, understanding digital finance and teaching blockchain courses at a top university need not be allies of the cryptocurrency industry if the person holds a high position with the regulator.

After nearly seven decades, US executes first woman on federal death row
By Apnews January 13, 2021 World 0 Comments
An American woman was put to death by lethal injection Wednesday, becoming the first female to be executed by US federal authorities since 1953.
Lisa Montgomery's execution came in the final days of the government of US President Donald Trump, which pushed forward with her execution despite a legal battle that the Supreme Court ended with a ruling in the early hours of Wednesday.
Montgomery, 52, murdered an expectant mother to steal her baby, though she had sought a stay of execution on the grounds she was mentally ill.
She was the 11th person to be put to death after the Trump administration successfully fought to resume federal executions in July following a 17-year hiatus.
Her lawyer Kelley Henry, in a scathing statement, called the decision — the first for a female inmate since 1953 — a "vicious, unlawful, and unnecessary exercise of authoritarian power."
"The craven bloodlust of a failed administration was on full display tonight," Henry said.
"Everyone who participated in the execution of Lisa Montgomery should feel shame."
The US Supreme Court voted 6-3 in favor of lifting a last minute stay of execution and allowing Montgomery's execution to proceed despite doubts about her mental state.
The court's three liberal dissenters voted to grant her a stay of execution.
Montgomery's defenders did not deny the seriousness of her crime: in 2004, she killed a pregnant 23-year-old to steal her baby.
Unable to have a child, Montgomery carefully identified her victim — dog breeder Bobbie Jo Stinnett — online.
Under the guise of buying a puppy, Montgomery went to Stinnett's home, where she strangled her and cut the baby from her body. The baby survived.
In 2007 she was convicted of kidnapping resulting in death and handed a death sentence.
Her defenders believe that she suffered from severe mental health issues stemming from abuse she suffered as a child. She did not understand the meaning of her sentence, they said, a prerequisite for execution.
Clemency plea ignored
On Monday evening, a federal judge offered the defense a brief lifeline, ordering a stay of execution to allow time to assess Montgomery's mental state.
"The record before the Court contains ample evidence that Ms. Montgomery's current mental state is so divorced from reality that she cannot rationally understand the government's rationale for her execution," the ruling stated.
But an appeals court overturned that decision on Tuesday, leaving it up to the US Supreme Court to decide. It said the execution could go ahead.
Trump, like his many of his conservative constituents, is a strong supporter of the death penalty and ignored a plea for clemency from Montgomery's supporters.
Democratic Senator Dick Durbin on Monday announced the introduction of legislation to end federal executions.
It could be passed once President-elect Joe Biden takes office next week and Democrats regain control of the Senate.
In addition to Montgomery, two men from the same jail in Indiana, are scheduled for federal execution this week.
Their executions were stayed on Tuesday due to them having contracted COVID-19.
In a statement, Helen Prejean, a Catholic nun known for her activism against the death penalty, spoke over the weekend of federal prosecutors "working all day and through the nights" to counter the appeals of federal inmates.
"You may not have to see the fear or smell the sweat in the execution chamber, but your hand is in this," Prejean wrote, urging them to prevent the executions being carried out in the week before Biden's inauguration.
Former guards of the penitentiary in Indiana, where Montgomery was jailed, had also written to the Justice Department to request that the executions be postponed until the penitentiary staff are vaccinated against COVID-19.
Between the executioners, guards, witnesses, and lawyers, an execution assembles dozens of people in a closed environment, which is conducive to the spread of the virus.
US states, including the deeply conservative Texas, have suspended executions for months due to the pandemic — unlike the federal government, which has pushed to carry out many before Trump leaves power.

Blue Lan watches over the 888 Market in Night Market Hero.
The Skinny: Formulaic comedy-drama pushing Taiwan local pride and culture. The setting and characters are sometimes diverting and the idea is certainly a worthy one. However, as a film, Night Market Hero falls decidedly short.
The best thing about Night Market Hero is that it's about Taiwan. Beyond that, the positives are harder to qualify. A Lunar New Year megahit in its native Taiwan, Night Market Hero tells the tale of a Taiwanese night market, a bustling collection of stalls selling snacks, sundries and even some questionably legal goods. This particular market, the 888 Market, is home to an assortment of colorful but still recognizable characters. Ah Hua (drama star Blue Lan) is the young union leader, who keeps the plates spinning for all the locals, who have their differences but trust his just, sound leadership. But when redevelopment threatens the 888 Market, it may take more than good looks and a strong hand to assure that the market remains open for business.
Night Market Hero has a predictable narrative, with soap opera subplots surrounding the 888 Market and its occupants, particularly Ah Hua and his love interest, photojournalist Yi-Nan (Alice Ke of Monga). Both have issues with family; Yi-Nan's relationship with her dead father affects her choice of a current boyfriend, while Ah Hua's former "uncle" and current politician Chang (Chu Ko-Liang) may have something to do with the planned redevelopment of the 888 Market's real estate. The storylines are generic and needlessly complicate what should be a simple story: about cultural appreciation and locals looking to keep their livelihood. The film also tries to resolve too much by the end, with numerous subplots climaxing simultaneously via slow-motion melodrama and changes of heart from on-the-fence characters. Granted, this type of "for the people" story is hard to innovate, but the filmmakers seem content with cliché.

Best of Jackson 2003: Urban Living
Best Barber: Maurice's
The far-flung hair-cutting empire of Maurice's Barber & Style has shops in Jackson, Ridgeland, Madison and at the Reservoir. Much like the barbershops of yore, it's a pleasant place to hang out, and they don't mind if you bring the kids (as long as you're a customer, naturally). Of course, there's a big difference between this and your grandfather's barber shop: Most of the stylists and many of the customers are women. But like any classic barber shop, there's plenty of good conversation, stress relief and counseling available at no extra charge.

Best Florist: Greenbrook Flowers, 705 N. State St., 957-1951
Greenbrook Flowers creates trends; they don't follow them. That's evident in the fact that the florist's Brook Jacobs originated Good Neighbor Day. The throngs of cars vying for parking and the lines pouring out the front door each September demonstrate the power of flowers. It's a once-a-year opportunity to receive a dozen free roses –one to keep and 11 more to give away. Jacobs passed the idea along to FTD in 1996. Good Neighbor Day is now a national event celebrated by florists in communities coast to coast. Five generations of florists with a neighborly attitude have established Greenbrook as an institution in the Jackson area. They've taught us that flowers really do say it best.

My grandmother calls it "heaven," and for a few of us it might be. While not technically a thrift store, Hudson's is a great place to be thrifty. It is one of the few remaining salvage stores in the United States carrying merchandise that has been damaged by fire, flood or some other natural disaster or, in some cases, the manufacturer made too many and cannot sell the wares for retail prices. A quick trip is not advised; you don't go to Hudson's with specifics in mind. The next time you have nowhere to be for at least three hours, head to Hudson's and wander the store. You'll be amazed. Bright florescent posters proclaiming "70% OFF" and "80% OFF" and even "90% OFF" will have you leaving the store with a new set of golf clubs and a fuschia sequin tank top for Saturday night, believe you me.

Best Used Books: Choctaw Books, 926 North St., 352-7281
The best thing about Choctaw Books is the owner, Fred Smith. Bearded and boisterous with twinkling blue eyes and reading glasses perched on his nose, Smith greets customers from his cluttered desk beside the door with a ready smile and a hearty laugh. He loves to chat and get to know his customers and their wants and needs. Visiting with him is worth the trip, but you'll probably buy something while you're there anyway. Founded in 1982 by Smith's father, Mississippi Congressman Frank Smith—the subject of Dennis Mitchell's book, "Mississippi Liberal" (University Press of Mississippi, 2001), available at the store—Choctaw specializes in books on the South, especially those with a connection to Mississippi or the Civil War. The building isn't much to talk about, but every nook and cranny is crammed with books. There are separate rooms for collectors' items, mysteries and general fiction, even cookbooks and romance novels. (Smith feels that it's essential to have something for everyone.). The small space houses 80,000 editions ranging in price from $1 to thousands of dollars. Most are under $20, but a collector's item can be several thousand. We guarantee you'll find something you can't live without.

Oh Dorothy, what can I say? Dorothy Davis is one of my favorite people in Jackson. I met her shortly after I returned to Mississippi, and she was one of those people I talked to when we were planning the Jackson Free Press. While Dorothy is doing her magic on your fingers, she talks to you like she's known you all your life, dispensing advice and her brand of wisdom. She cares about her world, and she loves people. Holed up in her delightful little pampering room, we exchange book ideas, and I'm trying to convince her to write down all those great stories she tells me. Her clients are dedicated, following her wherever she goes. (She developed her fabulous spa manicure/pedicures while she was at Barnette's.) While she works her special pedicure, she makes you hush and lie back in her massage chair and breathe for a while. It's a great way to pause in a hectic world. I'm thrilled that JFP readers are discovering Dorothy Davis' little haven on Old Canton Road. Go on over and surrender to Dorothy for yourself.

If J-Lo, Britney and Christina came to town to, oh I don't know, protest the death penalty and/or shoot a pop diva video with Ronnie at the Governor's Mansion (he did appear on "Trading Spaces"), then SOMA would be the store they would close down with their entourage and buy out completely. J-Lo's homeboy Ben would send out for veggie nori rolls from across the way at High Noon and some Cristal from Bravo. He'd kick back by the lava lamp and tap his Armanis to some funk mix as J-Lo strutted down the aluminum dressing-room runway past curtains of faux cowhides to show off the tiniest of tanks and sheerest of skirts.
Britney would make a beeline for the sumptuous and sassy "I AM" line of perfumes and lotions. Of course, her favorite and Jackson's favorite (according to sales staff) is I AM NAKED, a perfume described as violet and rose with a metallic twist. She could also choose from other fragrances such as I AM RICH, I AM HOT, I AM POWER. Christina would be snapping up the candy-colored rhinestone belly rings, earrings and hair accessories lining the display counter that also doubles as a mega fish tank. She'd also have to have a pair of Rocket Dog chunky-heeled boots and some Charles David spike heels to go with her fishnets. Before heading for the limo the gals would stuff their Dickies bags with handfuls of fortune cookies, Soma's version of the after-shopping dinner mint, and head back to Ronnie's for a nightcap and some pole dancing.

Best Festival: Jubilee! Jam,
Since 1987, the third weekend in May in Jackson has meant one thing. Jubliee!Jam with its three days of music, arts, crafts and food has become of one Mississippi's most anticipated events. Since its inception, diversity has been the key to its success, with musical talent from the full spectrum. James Brown, Little Richard, the Neville Brothers, Gregg Allman, Little Feat, The Temptations, Bonnie Raitt, John Prine, Blood Sweat and Tears, Sun Ra, Grand Funk Railroad, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, George Clinton, Johnny Cash and Smash Mouth have all played the main stage under the stars of downtown at One Jackson Place.
Jubliee!Jam compliments the eclectic musical talent with family activities, entertainment, food, arts, and craft vendors who come free of charge each year to sell their wares and an Artist Showcase limited to members of the Craftsmen's Guild of Mississippi. Jubliee!Jam and its five musical stages are sponsored by local businesses and requires over 1,000 volunteers each year to help make it a success. If you don't volunteer, be sure to show your support and thank those who do.

Coffee Shop: Cups (Fondren), 2757 Old Canton Road,
Shhh. Don't anyone tell the Starbuck's Corp. about Jackson. The good side of being considered a backward, poor state by all the snobs and snits in other states is that some of the corporate giants leave us alone longer. And nothing could ruin Jackson quicker than a bunch of Starbuck's outlets stuck all over the place. Instead, we have a delightful local chain of coffee shops where Jacksonians of all ages like to hang out, read, chat and have good coffee and baked treats. Cups Fondren, in particular, is a stand-out, due partly to its location right in the middle of the Fondren Renaissance action. I can take my iBook there, use the wireless network and sip my skinny latte until I'm jittery out of control. (Or, my summer favorite: iced vanilla coffee with espresso ice cubes.) And Cups is one of the few really good places for young people to hang out, offering live music for all ages, along with continually updated art on the walls. Hat's off.

Best Salon/Pampering:
Barnette's/Aqua The Day Spa,
I have to admit: I'm partial to Aveda products. I'm fully aware that they're overpriced, and you often have to have them applied among the pretentious folks that I don't too much like to be around. Right after we moved to Jackson, I was looking for a hair salon and saw Barnette's in Banner Hall. When I got past the shock of the name—the Reservoir has the same effect on me, still, but there is an extra "E" here—I could see that I liked the sophisticated look of the place and, besides, it was filled with the delightful scents of Aveda. And with Lemuria, Broad Street and Musiquarium as neighbors, how bad could it be? So I called rather nervously, hoping I wouldn't end up with a stylist who looked down her perfect nose at me. No, I ended up with Lanis Noble, a gorgeous stylist who talks my head off about cars, about which I know nothing. In Lanis' chair, I find no pretension, and he doesn't try to convince me into a hairstyle that only he can make look right. And that makes me happy. Since I became a regular, they opened Aqua The Day Spa, which I haven't visited, but our readers like the Avedic-style pampering they offer there, so I believe them.

Maybe a down jacket, wicking underwear or goggles for that coveted weekend in Aspen? You know you need a headlamp, carabiners and a harness for a trip up (or down) Mount Rainier. Well, then, Buffalo Peak Outfitters can outfit you. If you're the cool outdoors type, you will recognize brands such as North Face, Merrell and Wilderness System. For the uninitiated, Buffalo Peak's media center has a plethora of information about Mississippi state parks, the Mississippi Canoe and Kayak Club, local and regional hiking trails, float trips and maps.

Best Way to Spend a Rainy Day:
Last year, weather in Central Mississippi was just downright wet, the seventh wettest on record, according to the National Weather Service, in fact. With all that precipitation, we had lots of opportunities to consider the best way to spend a rainy day. Overwhelmingly, Jacksonians chose to slide between the sheets—shutting out all distractions and enjoying the comfort of a warm bed, lazing the time away in peaceful bliss with no care for tomorrow. A cloudy, drizzly day creates just the right mood for cocooning and seeking that inner comfort that recharges us and prepares us to face the world again when the sun emerges.
Some also chose to sleep.

I'm not overly fond of monkeys. Something about them cause a little freak out in me. Maybe it is because of the way they seem almost human like, or maybe it is because my parents subjected me to many, many Planet of the Ape movies when I was a mere child. Who can tell. Whatever the reason, I don't love monkeys.
That being said, I have called my children by 'monkey names' many, many times. Cute little monkey buns, monkey face, etc. It sounds cute, but in reality, monkeys are far from cute in my opinion.
In spite of my feelings about monkeys, I bought my son a monkey book at my favorite little book store the other day. The Book Rack is an awesome store. For one, it is close to my house and full of new and used books I haven't even read yet, and two it is run by a cute set of twin guys that know everything. They are my kind of people! They know books, movies, music, and love to talk about them too. They are also amateur film makers and expert lego builders. I call them the Renaissance men of Mesa. I think of any reason I can to go in and browse and visit with them.
The book I bought is called Monkey Tales. I thought it was a book of cute little stories about monkeys. When I started to read the book to Ben I realized, quickly, that it was actually a collection of fables, folktales, and legends all about monkeys throughout the world. Some people might have been disappointed by this but for us it was a happy accident. Ben actually prefers stories with facts in them. He is like a sponge that soaks up all the information around him and then shares it with the rest of the family at just the right moments. He amazes me with his ability to retain information. I, on the other hand, cannot remember how old I am.
Last night we read a story from Amazonia about a group of monkeys that hated the rain. Every time it rained they would hide and promise to build shelter the very next day. When the next day dawned all bright and sunny, they had no interest or desire to build houses. I thought it was a good story about procrastination and spent a few minutes talking about it to the boys.
"Yeah, yeah,….that's great. Time for scary stories with Ben now." Ben stated as soon as I stopped to take a breath. He then spent the next ten minutes or so telling me a story that gave me nightmares last night. Every story starts out with,"It was a dark and stormy night…." and includes zombies and people getting mangled in some way. This story had traces of horror films I have only seen trailers to through the cracks between my fingers as I tried to hide my eyes. He has never seen these movies so I wonder where he gets his information from. He was able to take the yuck from the unseen movies and mix them up with fairy tales and make them into something pretty frightening. He loves it when I tell him, "too scary!" and I squeal in fright. Maybe I am encouraging him too much?
Sometimes I think I should just write down the stories he tells and put them into a book. Of course, I would have to put a warning label inside the from cover, "Not for the faint of heart, or grandma…" cause I said so.

Trade publication Aggregates Manager's second annual mine reclamation photo contest received some great entries despite the fact that "fewer operators had projects that would allow them to enter".
This year's winner was Lemon Grove from sand miner RCP Block & Brick, a California-based family company, but the contest also featured this spectacular entry by Chaney Enterprises.
The company reclaimed its Mardi Mine facility in Davidsonville, Maryland as an 18-hole public golf course.
The project was selected as the recipient of the 2004 Maryland Department of the Environment Reclamation Award, as well as the 2004 Interstate Mining Compact Commission national reclamation award for the non-coal category.

Note that all images greater than 2400x2400 pixels will be resized before upload, but it's faster if you resize them before uploading. Image files should be under 1 MB if possible. This will speed up online viewing.
LiquidAlbums is really free. The hope is that enough people will want the extra features available in the subscription service to pay for the cost of maintaining the site. Subscription is $16 a year and gives you; additional storage, the ability to export pages to jpg and png, the ability to export albums to PDF and eventually the ability to print directly from LiquidAlbums.
Is LiquidAlbums really free, what's the catch?
What are the recommended files to upload and the recommended sizes?
Only public albums are currently viewable from Photobucket or Picasa. To view them on LiquidAlbums make them public.
Why can't I see all of my Photobucket or Picasa photos?
When a graphic image is uploaded to LiquidAlbums, 5 versions of it are available, they are called: Highest, High, Medium, Low and Thumbnail. Highest is the original image (max of 2400x2400), High is half the original (max 1200x1200), Medium is 1/4 the original (max 600x600), Low is 1/8 of the original (max 300x300) and Thumbnail is about 100x100 pixels. The Thumbnail version is used when browsing for images, the others can be selected by specifying the resolution in the dialog. The resolution of all the images in the album can be changed from the "My Albums" "Image Resolution" menu. The idea is that lower resolutions are fast and good enough for a monitor, higher resolutions are slower, but better quality for printing.
What are the different resolutions all about?
There is a new feature that tells you when you click on any object on the page. It shows quality in terms of percentage where 100% is 200 pixels per inch. For good printing you need to have more pixels or less area to print in, the dpi of the image has no effect. So a 600x600 pixel image will print fine in a 3x3 inch area or less, but starts to degrade as the area gets larger.
How can I make sure that it will print OK?
LiquidAlbums works on Windows PCs and MACs.
On Windows it works with IE, Firefox and Chrome browsers.
On the Mac it works with Firefox and Safari browsers.
It requires the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in, which will be installed automatically.
It does not work on mobile devices and older MACs that are based on the PowerPC chip.
It requires a reasonably fast internet connection.
Here is a Microsoft site with additional details about Silverlight compatibility.

Patients of all ages are susceptible to developing cavities. Scheduling regular preventive care visits and maintaining a healthy oral hygiene routine can lower your risks of developing tooth cavities.
At Bay City Smiles we understand the fear and anxiety many patients have about visiting the dentist. Family dentist Dr. Mahnke in Bay City, MI treats his patients with respect, kindness, and compassion, and understands the fear many people associate with the dentist. Dr. Mahnke works with each patient to create an effective treatment that addresses their needs in a relaxing, comfortable environment. Dr. Mahnke has extensive experience treating tooth cavities in both children and adults.
Tooth cavities, called dental caries by dentists, are tooth decay. Most tooth cavities are caused by plaque buildup. When plaque comes in contact with sugar and starch, it activates bacteria in plaque, causing it to attack and erode tooth enamel. As the tooth enamel breaks down and wears away, it leaves the tooth susceptible to the formation of dental cavities.
Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease in America. Half of all first-graders and more than 80% of 17-year-olds have tooth cavities. Pediatric dentistry is extremely important to help children and adolescents establish a healthy and regular dental routine. As a family dentist, Dr. Mahnke provides comprehensive treatment for children to prevent and treat tooth cavities.
The first step in treating a tooth cavity is undergoing a comprehensive exam. During your visit, Dr. Mahnke will carefully examine your teeth and check for signs of decay and tooth damage. A dentist can identify cavities usually before you experience symptoms, so it is important to maintain regular dental check-ups. In advanced stages of tooth decay, you might experience a toothache especially after consuming sweet, hot, or cold foods or drinks. Other signs of tooth decay are visible pits or holes in the teeth.
If you do have a tooth cavity or if your teeth are showing signs of decay, Dr. Mahnke provides a full range of general dentistry treatments to provide stability and protection to affected teeth. Tooth-colored dental fillings are often used to treat teeth with early stages of tooth decay.
For patients with advanced symptoms of tooth decay, a root canal or tooth extraction may be required to bring the tooth to proper health. The goal is to treat dental cavities before they advance to a more complex dental issue.
The best way to prevent tooth cavities is through regular visits to the dentist. Dr. Mahnke can create comprehensive, personalized solutions to address your dental needs and restore health to your smile. Schedule an appointment with Bay City dentist Dr. Daryle Mahnke for your family today. Call 989-272-2478 or request an appointment online.

Q: SQL: How to properly check if a record exists While reading some SQL Tuning-related documentation, I found this:
SELECT COUNT(*) :

*

*Counts the number of rows.

*Often is improperly used to verify the existence of a record.

Is SELECT COUNT(*) really that bad?
What's the proper way to verify the existence of a record?

A: You can use:
SELECT 1 FROM MyTable WHERE <MyCondition>

If there is no record matching the condition, the resulted recordset is empty.

A: It's better to use either of the following:
-- Method 1.
SELECT 1
FROM table_name
WHERE unique_key = value;

-- Method 2.
SELECT COUNT(1)
FROM table_name
WHERE unique_key = value;

The first alternative should give you no result or one result, the second count should be zero or one.
How old is the documentation you're using? Although you've read good advice, most query optimizers in recent RDBMS's optimize SELECT COUNT(*) anyway, so while there is a difference in theory (and older databases), you shouldn't notice any difference in practice.

A: Other option:
SELECT CASE
    WHEN EXISTS (
        SELECT 1
        FROM [MyTable] AS [MyRecord])
    THEN CAST(1 AS BIT) ELSE CAST(0 AS BIT)
END

A: I would prefer not use Count function at all:
IF [NOT] EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM MyTable WHERE ... )
     <do smth>

For example if you want to check if user exists before inserting it into the database the query can look like this:
IF NOT EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM Users WHERE FirstName = 'John' AND LastName = 'Smith' )
BEGIN
    INSERT INTO Users (FirstName, LastName) VALUES ('John', 'Smith')
END

A: You can use:
SELECT 1 FROM MyTable WHERE... LIMIT 1

Use select 1 to prevent the checking of unnecessary fields.
Use LIMIT 1  to prevent the checking of unnecessary rows.

A: SELECT COUNT(1) FROM MyTable WHERE ...

will loop thru all the records.  This is the reason it is bad to use for record existence.
I would use
SELECT TOP 1 * FROM MyTable WHERE ...

After finding 1 record, it will terminate the loop.

A: I'm using this way:
IF (EXISTS (SELECT TOP 1 FROM Users WHERE FirstName = 'John'), 1, 0) AS DoesJohnExist

A: The other answers are quite good, but it would also be useful to add LIMIT 1 (or the equivalent, to prevent the checking of unnecessary rows.

A: You can use:
SELECT COUNT(1) FROM MyTable WHERE ...

or
WHERE [NOT] EXISTS
( SELECT 1 FROM MyTable WHERE ... )

This will be more efficient than SELECT * since you're simply selecting the value 1 for each row, rather than all the fields.
There's also a subtle difference between COUNT(*) and COUNT(column name):

*

*COUNT(*) will count all rows, including nulls

*COUNT(column name) will only count non null occurrences of column name

Does the Metro-North go to NJ?
Barbara Marquardt
Metro-North operates trains west of the Hudson River from Hoboken Terminal, New Jersey, under a contract with NJ Transit. The Port Jervis Line and the Pascack Valley Line are the two branches. Other NJ Transit routes in the Hoboken division have employed Metro-North equipment. These include the Atlantic City Line, the Beesley Station Local, the Montclair-Boonton Line, the North Jersey Coast Line, the Raritan Valley Line, and the Rockland Branch.
The Mount Vernon Division runs east of the Hudson River from Poughkeepsie through New York City's Upper East Side before continuing on to Brewster and Ossining, New York. This division is operated by Amtrak. The West Hempstead Branch extends from Penn Station to Farband Hall in Greenwich, Connecticut.
The Hudson Division runs between Poughkeepsie and Croton-Harmon along the riverbank of the abandoned Erie Railroad right-of-way. The Newport Branch serves South Fallsburg and Johnson City, New York.
The West Shore Line runs between Mineola and Bayport along the north shore of Long Island. This line is not operated by any form of public transportation but rather by private companies that lease space on the trains for advertising. A typical ride on this line costs $12 to $20 per person.
Does Metro North go to Port Jervis?
Does NJ Transit go to Penn Station?
Metro-Hudson, North's Harlem, and New Haven lines, as well as the Port Jervis and Pascack Valley lines, serve consumers throughout New York and Connecticut. The Metro-North Railroad has two main lines: the Main Line runs from Waterbury, Connecticut, to Mount Vernon, New York; while the Westchester Division line connects New York City with White Plains, New York. The railroad also operates four branches: the Danbury Branch serves Danbury, Norwalk, and Stamford, Connecticut; the Harlem Line runs between Manhattan and Brewster, New York; the Hunts Point Terminal Area Line serves Bronxville, New York, and Harrison, New York; and the Port Jervis Line runs between Hoboken, New Jersey, and Port Jervise, New York.
The Metro-North Railroad was created by a merger on January 1, 2009, of the MTA's New York Central Railroad portion and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's Boston-Worcester Line. The combined rail system operates over 3,000 miles of track across five states (Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island) with an annual ridership of more than 70 million passengers.
On five rail lines, NJ TRANSIT provides direct rail service to New York's Penn Station, as well as straightforward transfers in Newark when heading from the west, and links trains on the northern rail lines at Secaucus Junction. Furthermore, light rail links in Hoboken, Newark, and Trenton expand the options for commencing any trip.
The first phase of a planned expansion project will add two more tracks between Secaucus Junction and Newark Penn Station, allowing for increased capacity along this section of track. The second phase calls for additional tracks between Newark Penn Station and Howard Sussman Bus Terminal in Brooklyn, allowing for even more capacity throughout this portion of the network.
In addition to its own stations, NJ TRANSIT offers direct service to several major destinations from its headquarters in Newark including: New York City, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Washington D.C., and Toronto.
NJ TRANSIT buses are an affordable option for traveling within New Jersey and into Manhattan; however, availability at some stations can be limited during peak periods. Schedules generally follow those of trains with few deviations except where noted. For real-time information on bus arrivals and departures, check www.njtransit.com or call 511.
Bicycles are allowed on all rails-to-trails within New Jersey under special permits issued by the state Department of Transportation.
Barbara Marquardt loves to travel. She enjoys visiting new places, trying out new things and meeting people with similar interests. Barbara's always on the lookout for ways to explore the world around her and make her life more fulfilling.

Q: Router in Node http proxy Can anyone please explain what the router in options does in this code. I got this code from a blog. I am trying to implement node http-proxy.

var http = require('http'),
    httpProxy = require('http-proxy');

//
//Leave out the hostnameOnly field this time, or set it to false...
//
var options = {
  router: {
    'domainone.com/appone': '127.0.0.1:9000',
    'domainone.com/apptwo': '127.0.0.1:9001',
    'domaintwo.net/differentapp': '127.0.0.1:9002'
  }
}

//
//...and then pass in your options like last time.
//
var proxyServer = httpProxy.createServer(options).listen(80);

//
// ...and a simple http server to show us our request back.
//
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });
  res.write('request successfully proxied!' + '\n' + JSON.stringify(req.headers, true, 2));
  res.end();
}).listen(9000);

A: The proxy library will take all incoming requests and attempt to match it with a rule in your router table.  Assuming it finds a match, it will forward that request to the IP address associated with the DNS name you provided.
For example, requests going to domainone.com/appone will be forwarded to 127.0.0.1:9000
One problem that I see here is that you are listening on port 9000, and your first rule re-routes to 127.0.0.1:9000.
