Now when the wall had been built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed, I gave my brother Hanani and Hananiah the governor of the castle charge over Jerusalem, for he was a more faithful and God-fearing man than many. And I said to them, "Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot. And while they are still standing guard, let them shut and bar the doors. Appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, some at their guard posts and some in front of their own homes." The city was wide and large, but the people within it were few, and no houses had been rebuilt. Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles and the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found written in it: ... Share Your Faith Products

From the very first verse of Scripture, God reveals himself as the Creator, an Artist. Everything within the universe is a magnificent element of the Great Artist's masterpiece. As works of art created in God's own image (Gen 1:27), people are endowed with the ability to create as well. We can choose to join the Master Artist by being artists ourselves.

"Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples.

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

A single Bible verse is written or printed on two separate pieces of paper. The host of the game cuts each paper into small pieces, with one or two words on each piece. After shuffling the small pieces of paper, the teacher or parent places the papers of each verse into an uninflated balloon. Children are divided into two teams. The group chooses a team captain who will race to the other end of the room, blow up the balloon and tie it. The rest of the team members join him and try to burst the balloon. Once the balloon is burst and all the pieces of paper fall out, the group must put the Bible verse in order. The first team to organize their verse wins. Bible Scripture Verse Crafts

Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. ...

He made 300 shields of beaten gold, using three hundred shekels of gold on each shield, and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. There were six steps to the throne and a footstool in gold attached to the throne, and arms on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms. Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom. All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; silver was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.

For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood, the lintel and five-sided doorposts. So he made two doors of olive wood, and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees. So also he made for the entrance of the nave four-sided doorposts of olive woodread more. Share Your Faith Products
As for you, if you will walk before Me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you and will keep My statutes and My ordinances, then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, just as I promised to your father David, saying, 'You shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.' But if you or your sons indeed turn away from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them, and the house which I have consecrated for My name, I will cast out of My sight.

He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits. There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals. Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz. On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished. Now he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in circumference. Under its brim gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast with the rest. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward. It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths. Then he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was four cubits and its width four cubits and its height three cubits. This was the design of the stands: they had borders, even borders between the frames, and on the borders which were between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side. Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round. The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast. Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself. On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it. He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around. He made the ten stands like this: all of them had one casting, one measure and one form. He made ten basins of bronze, one basin held forty baths; each basin was four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin. Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south. Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the LORD: the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars; and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands; and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea; and the pails and the shovels and the bowls; even all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were of polished bronze. In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained. Solomon made all the furniture which was in the house of the LORD: the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence; and the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold; and the cups and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the nave, of gold. Thus all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the LORD was finished And Solomon brought in the things dedicated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

Long Distance Parenting
The struggle to remain a family unit whilst living thousands of miles apart is challenging but possible according to one dad
29 June, 2018 | Sanjay P.
Adam Astley Photography
"Go away, Daddy. I hate you. Go away."
Those were the words ringing in my ears as I sat at the airport waiting to catch my flight back to Singapore after a flying visit to see my wife and daughters in Bangkok. Emma, my six-year-old, had shouted that at me as I climbed into the airport taxi, her tiny face crumpled with emotion and tears streaming down both cheeks. What had brought about this visceral reaction? I had hugged her 11-year-old sister, Bee, first. Emma had thought that I was getting into the taxi without hugging her too. She was venting her feelings of rejection and anger at situation which she couldn't fully comprehend yet, which, since August 2017, had been a very real part of our lives.
There I was sitting in the soulless departure lounge of Suvarnabhumi airport, waiting for a flight that was delayed, surrounded by excited people about to embark on a holiday.
My mind was reeling with the sadness and anger that my decision to work abroad was having on our family.
So how did we get here? My wife Lara and I have been married for almost fifteen years (but we really count it from our first date in 1998) and have barely been apart since. There have been the occasional work trips, but for the most part, we've been inseparable. From the rain-swept streets of North London, to Belgium, Dubai and most recently, Vietnam, we've been a pretty inseparable unit - adding to the initial pair with Bee and then Emma. Then, in February 2017, things changed: Lara got a dream job in Bangkok and after a lot (a lot!) of discussion, signed a two-year contract.
The girls and I were as excited as she was. There was no job for me but I had some plans to use the time tutoring and perhaps writing another textbook for the International Baccalaureate Organisation. Then, two days after she signed, an email came from the head of my (our) dream school in Singapore. "So… are you still interested in a job here? Something has just opened up."
And that was it. After a lot of long discussions, I was all set to start work in Singapore while Lara and the girls would be heading to Bangkok. After all, how hard could it really be? The two cities are a two-and-a-half-hour flight apart. It would only be a two-year contract and then we'd reassess the situation and decide next steps. People do this all the time. In Dubai, we regularly met low income workers from the Indian sub-continent who had left their families for a full two years. People in the armed forces are constantly being deployed away from their families. My dad did the same thing in the seventies - moving away from my mum, sister and I to study for his masters. I really had no grounds to complain - especially as Lara had painstakingly compared our school calendars and already highlighted the holidays that overlapped. I, we, had no excuse to be a cry baby about this.
August came too soon. Lara and the girls spent the summer with her folks in Belgium, while I stayed in Vietnam to pack the last few things and oversee the shipping of our stuff to Singapore. Then I met them at the airport in Bangkok on the day they flew in. The girls were surprised - lots of happy tears and cuddles. Kind of like one of those scenes from a really cheesy American movie. From the way, Bee and Emma threw themselves onto me, you'd have thought I was a returning war hero.
These moments - these fleeting moments of reunited joy - are powerful and come from the same place as the bitterness, anger and sadness that I began this article with. And that's the essence of what I guess I'm trying to write about: the roller-coaster.
Our decision to split the family like this was not taken lightly and, in all honesty, has proven to be far harder than we anticipated. Lara works a brutally demanding job while having to be a single mum to two girls whose welfare and development she doesn't want to leave in the hands of a nanny or maid. She rushes from a day filled with parent-meetings, teaching and counselling kids to making sure that Bee can return from her daily after school sports practice to a cooked meal. She cooks it while helping Emma with her reading or Math. She makes sure the girls have dinner together, and they have time to discuss the day and connect as a family. She makes sure they have all the benefits of being part of a loving family and that their home is a sanctuary of warmth and care.
When possible, she'll arrange a FaceTime call for us so that the girls can tell me about their day and I can read Emma a bedtime story. After Emma has gone to bed, Bee and I chat briefly and sometimes try to watch an episode of Battlestar Galactica together. (It's really not easy to synchronise the moment we each hit play on our devices.) Then, once Bee has gone to bed and if she hasn't got too much work, Lara and I FaceTime, and chat for a bit. Usually one of us will be too tired or too inundated with work to hold a conversation but it is nice to have that time and hear her voice.
Of course, this is not how it always goes. More often than not the girls are wrecked from a particularly brutal day and are being too feral to go on FaceTime. Or Bee's got a stack of (meaningless!) homework that she's convinced that she absolutely has to do before school the next day. Or I've promised some of my students that I'll go watch a play they're performing in or I have another late meeting with one of the boarding house students to help with writing essays. Or Lara has an absolute tonne of emails and references to get through for her students' university applications or write-ups from her counselling sessions. More often than not, one of us will end up texting to say "Sorry. Can't do FaceTime tonight. Tomorrow?"
And that's the point. There's always tomorrow. We know this and it makes it easy to get through the loneliness. I put a lot of faith in 'tomorrow' and trying not to get despondent about the let-downs of 'today'. Feeling like a latter-day Lady MacBeth, I often sit there amidst a seemingly never-ending pile of marking with the conviction that 'tomorrow' I shall be a dad. It's okay to mess it up today because tomorrow shall bring forth another opportunity for me to be the dad I know I can be.
As I mentioned earlier, this is a total emotional roller-coaster. There are the high days and the low ones. Today - as I type this - is a bit of a low one. Because I've had seven days with Lara and the girls but I know that tomorrow afternoon I'll be sitting at Suvarnabhumi Airport, ignoring the happy excited people all around me who are off on the start of their holidays while I am heading back to my empty flat and my gigantic pile of marking. And it's not like these seven days together have been idyllic… the girls have all been at school and I've sat there churning through the piles of work that I brought with me. Then, when they come home each evening, they had their routines and knew what to do, leaving me feeling a bit lost as I tried to fit into the well-oiled machine that Lara had established. It helps, of course, that Lara is (as our best man said in his speech) 'freakishly efficient'. The girls know what needs to be done and how. Although, as last night proves, they are more than happy to conveniently 'forget' the routine when Lara has to go out for work and I'm doing the bedtime routine on my own…
A former Royal Marine once told me that the hardest part of his job was returning to the family and trying to find out where his place was in things. That's how I feel. A bit like a spare wheel.
However depressing that may sound, I'd hate to end this on such a bleak note. Not for any reason but, it would be misleading and self-indulgent to do so. For all the downsides of being apart like this, there are the upsides too.
The brief weekend visits when I fly in on a Friday night to see the girls for Saturday and then fly back on Sunday morning (thank goodness for budget airlines!). The look on Bee's face when I'm there on the side-lines to watch her play her heart out on the football pitch. The giggles from Emma as we practice her jab-cross combinations on the escalators in shopping malls. The cuddles on the sofa as we read Harry Potter or some awful book about Chip, Kipper and Floppy (aside: that dog is a liability!). The chuckles (and bickering!) as we play a game of something like Zeus On The Loose or, our latest discovery, Dungeons & Dragons.
Yeah, this is not an ideal situation but it's certainly not a disaster. It's all down to perspective. Do I want to sit here wallowing in self pity about not being there all the time? Or do I want to relish the spectacular and fun moments that I get to share with these awesome little people? Do I mope about how lonely I am or do I shut up and watch with awe as my wife makes a perfect life for our girls at the expense of her own happiness and (for her, incredibly) precious sleep?

Dead Dirt Dinosaurs release new single 'Bad Timing' on 15th December
'Bad Timing' is the latest single from the Dead Dirty Dinosaurs and the third release with the force that is Riot Records and their parent company Golden Robot Records. Bad Timing is the follow up to recent singles Monica and Revenge, and will be released on 15th December.
Life is never simple and relationships can take us all to the depths of confusion, on all sorts of levels. Bad Timing takes a sneak peak at a few moments in time for two people who have no clue what they want or how to get it, sound familiar?
The Treble D's bring you another pounding indie rock anthem that will keep you bouncing all the way until the final woos.The trademark riffs are back with a dirty bassline and the driving drums that we are starting to expect as standard from the Dead Dirty Dino's.
Pre-order/pre-save Bad Timing HERE
Dead Dirty Dinosaurs are Brisbane icons in the making.Following a long tradition of powerful music coming out of South East QLD these cantankerous troubadours have been pouring blood, sweat and tears into their music and the result will leave you smiling.
Tackling todays endless stream of daily calamities and staying positive through it all the DDD's songs of love, life, dubiously deadly careers and a sly look at our wild surroundings all throb with the "night out" energy that we're all craving right now.
Three Jurassic music lovers who met in the snow fields of Europe but ended up brought together here by a force that can't be ignored. A love of 90's alt rock, punk, post punk and post rock combined with a need to make a mark on a new era in their lives set them on a path with one goal, to snag the support slot for the Pixies in Brisbane.
The pandemic has put that dream off for the moment but signing to Golden Robot and Riot Records combined has started a whole new path and who knows where that's going to lead us all.

If the solution is in mysql will be better bcz i have more similar sql statements and i want apply the solution for all of it.
thanks for answering

A: I think you can do it this way, almost like alistaircol said
SELECT
  (select count(DISTINCT userscount) AS duplicates from users1)
  +
  (select count(DISTINCT userscount) AS duplicates from users2) AS duplicates
FROM dual;

A: Please check article you need Combine two MYSQL table with same column Name
Just comparing to this you need to move count outside of UNION in order to work as you expected

A: Maybe you could try something like this for your query:
SELECT
  (select count(DISTINCT userscount) AS duplicates from users1 group by usercount)
  +
  (select count(DISTINCT userscount) AS duplicates from users2 group by usercount)
FROM dual;

DUAL is purely for the convenience of people who require that all SELECT statements should have FROM and possibly other clauses. MySQL may ignore the clauses. MySQL does not require FROM DUAL if no tables are referenced.

More info about DUAL: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/select.html

A: maybe you can change your code query into this to sum the entire counting value
      include 'conn00.php';
    $sql = "select  sum(i) as duplicates from (
    select count(DISTINCT  userscount) as i from users1 union all
    select count(DISTINCT  userscount) as i from users2
    ) x";
    $result = $conn->query($sql);

    if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
        // output data of each row
        while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
            echo $row["duplicates"];
        }
    } else {

    }

A: I am not sure, if the semantics of the query was correct, but the syntax must be like this (WHERE clause goes after JOIN and ON):
 SELECT users1.text1, users2.name,users2.email,
 users1.username
 FROM users1
 INNER JOIN users2
 ON users1.text1=users2.text1
 WHERE users1.username = $_SESSION[username]

A: SELECT * from
 ( (select count(DISTINCT userscount) AS duplicates from users1)
     union all
   (select count(DISTINCT userscount) AS duplicates from users2)
 )  as duplicates
You can also merge in this way.hope it was helpful

This is a fairly primitive trail (narrow, little signage, a bit brushy) that climbs steeply up the fall line to a beautiful 360-degree overlook that was once the site of lookout (now removed). The trail receives little use but deserves to be walked. The climb is first through forests whose understory is composed of huckleberries, wild rose, and currants. For the top third of the route, the vegetation changes and the understory of the fir and tamarack forest is lush pine grass. About 250 vertical feet from the top, steep outcrops of rock intersect the trail and the route cleverly zigzags up a series of benches, ledges and shelves without ever really becoming difficult. It seems unlikely as you look uphill, but you never need to use your hands for more than a few points of balance. Advanced mountain bikers will also be interested and rolling down all but the very top of this steep but relatively smooth trail. Much of the trail is too steep for the average rider to climb — those willing to hike- a-bike up, however, will sport a smug grin after the quick roll back down.
Activities: Hiking and mountain biking (carry bike up, ride down everything but the very top 250 vertical feet).
Distance: 4.8 miles (round trip).
The rocky and faint trail serves up a good dose of adventure.
Skill: Intermediate (2) for hikers, advanced (3) for mountain biking.
Access. From the south end of Tonasket, turn onto Highway 20 east. Follow this about 31.5 miles to milepost 293.5. On the opposite side of the Highway from the Sweat Creek Picnic area, turn right (south) onto Forest Road 31 (aka Road 3100). Follow this 0.4 mile to the small sign marking the start of the trail. Drive about 150 feet beyond the sign and park in a small pullout on the left (east) side of the road. No permit required.
Trip Instructions. – Start up the trail. In about 100 yards go through a primitive cattle fence. Shut the fence behind you. In another 150 to 200 feet, come to an intersection with a flat trail coming in from the left. Ignore this trail and go straight on the trail that climbs more steeply.
Views from Fir Mountain's summit.
* Keep climbing, often steeply. There are no other intersections to worry about. About 250 vertical feet from the top, you'll run into rock outcrops blocking the trail, but ramps and shelves zigzag upward without forcing you to scramble much. If you're using your hands for more than to occasional point of balance or high step, you've not found the easiest way up.
* From the top enjoy the views; then make a fast descent by retracing the same route.

818 F. 2d 423 - Montesano v. Seafirst Commercial Corp
818 F2d 423 Montesano v. Seafirst Commercial Corp
RICO Bus.Disp.Guide 6646
John MONTESANO, et al., Plaintiffs-Appellants,
SEAFIRST COMMERCIAL CORP., et al., Defendants-Appellees.
Fifth Circuit.
Galen S. Brown, Mack E. Barham, New Orleans, La., for plaintiffs-appellants.
Richard A. Goins, George V. Baus, Joseph Lemire, New Orleans, La., for defendants-appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
Before POLITZ, JOLLY and HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judges.
PATRICK E. HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge:
We are asked to define "pattern of racketeering activity" and to determine if plaintiffs properly alleged an "association in fact" enterprise in this appeal from a dismissal of a complaint for money damages under civil RICO. We conclude that plaintiffs have alleged a pattern of racketeering activity as defined by R.A.G.S. Couture, Inc. v. Hyatt, 774 F.2d 1350 (5th Cir.1985), but that plaintiffs failed to allege an entity separate and apart from the alleged pattern of racketeering activity, and we AFFIRM. In doing so, we follow R.A.G.S. but urge that it be overturned, en banc.
* In this appeal from a Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal, we accept the facts as alleged in the complaint. According to the complaint, Seafirst Commercial Corp. loaned money to John Montesano, Joseph Maturin and Roland Maturin, secured by ship mortgages on vessels owned by J.J. & R., a partnership among these three persons. In May of 1985, Strike-N-Arc Marine was repairing the M/V Riverlands, one of the mortgaged vessels. The partnership was delinquent in its payments to Seafirst. Seafirst did not foreclose but obtained possession of the vessel directly from Strike-N-Arc Marine.
The vessel owners allege that Seafirst and others accomplished this "repossession" by "falsely representing to employees of Strike-N-Arc that the property of plaintiffs was being legally removed by defendants." The complaint alleged a "pattern of racketeering," asserting wire fraud accomplished by telephone conversations by representatives of defendants in Texas and representatives of Kenner Marine and Machinery, Inc., the repossessing agent, in Louisiana, which were "in furtherance of a scheme or artifice" to "illegally gain possession of property," and mail fraud which occurred when defendants corresponded with each other "concerning the illegal means of acquiring plaintiffs' property."
The district court granted the motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. The parties present several arguments regarding the application of civil RICO. We first treat the question whether plaintiffs have alleged a pattern of racketeering activity, and then turn to whether plaintiffs' allegations establish an "association in fact" enterprise for RICO purposes.
Of course, a violation of Sec. 1962(c) "requires (1) conduct (2) of an enterprise (3) through a pattern (4) of racketeering activity." Sedima, S.P.R.L. v. Imrex Co., 473 U.S. 479, 105 S.Ct. 3275, 3285, 87 L.Ed.2d 346 (1985) (footnote omitted). Before Sedima, we had not attempted to define fully the meaning of pattern. See, e.g., Owl Const. Co., v. Ronald Adams Contractor, 727 F.2d 540 (5th Cir.1984). An imaginative plaintiff could take virtually any illegal occurrence and point to acts preparatory to the occurrence, usually the use of the telephone or mails, as meeting the requirement of pattern. It was thought that the Supreme Court might brake the proliferation of private suits under RICO, but the Sedima Court declined the invitation to read narrowly the broadly phrased language of RICO. The Court, however, did observe:
As many commentators have pointed out, the definition of a "pattern of racketeering activity" differs from the other provisions in Sec. 1961 in that it states that a pattern "requires at least two acts of racketeering activity," Sec. 1961(5) (emphasis added), not that it "means" two such acts. The implication is that while two acts are necessary, they may not be sufficient. Indeed, in common parlance two of anything do not generally form a "pattern." The legislative history supports the view that two isolated acts of racketeering activity do not constitute a pattern. As the Senate Report explained: "The target of [RICO] is thus not sporadic activity. The infiltration of legitimate business normally requires more than one 'racketeering activity' and the threat of continuing activity to be effective. It is this factor of continuity plus relationship which combines to produce a pattern." S.Rep. No. 91-617, p. 158 (1969) (emphasis added). Similarly, the sponsor of the Senate bill, after quoting this portion of the Report, pointed out to his colleagues that "[t]he term 'pattern' itself requires the showing of a relationship.... So, therefore, proof of two acts of racketeering activity, without more, does not establish a pattern...." 116 Cong.Rec. 18940 (1970) (statement of Sen. McClellan). See also id., at 35193 (statement of Rep. Poff) (RICO "not aimed at the isolated offender"); House Hearings, at 665. Significantly, in defining "pattern" in a later provision of the same bill, Congress was more enlightening: criminal conduct forms a pattern if it embraces criminal acts that have the same or similar purposes, results, participants, victims, or methods of commission, or otherwise are interrelated by distinguishing characteristics and are not isolated events." 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3575(e). This language may be useful in interpreting other sections of the Act. Cf. Iannelli v. United States, 420 U.S. 770, 789, 95 S.Ct. 1284, 1295, 43 L.Ed.2d 616 (1975).
Sedima, 105 S.Ct. at 3285 n. 14. We have not expressly reexamined our earlier treatment of pattern in the light of Sedima, at least with regard to whether a single discrete offense can be sliced into a pattern. Cf., Cowan v. Corley, 814 F.2d 223, 226-27 (5th Cir.1987) (concluding two acts do not constitute a pattern of racketeering activity in every instance). But we have noted that, as Judge Brown put it, "The Supreme Court appeared to challenge the lower courts to develop a more rigorous interpretation of pattern." Smoky Greenhaw Cotton Co., v. Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, 785 F.2d 1274, 1280-81, n. 7 (5th Cir.1986).
Plaintiffs argue here that we have implicitly adhered to our earlier definition of pattern since Sedima, pointing to Corwin v. Marney, Orton Investments, 788 F.2d 1063 (5th Cir.1986); Armco Industrial Credit Corp. v. S.L.T. Warehouse Co., 782 F.2d 475 (5th Cir.1986); and R.A.G.S. Couture, Inc. v. Hyatt, 774 F.2d 1350 (5th Cir.1985).
In Corwin, we reversed the dismissal of RICO claims because the Supreme Court in Sedima had rejected the basis of the district court's ruling that RICO requires a distinct racketeering injury separate from the harm of predicate acts. 788 F.2d at 1069. While the Corwin panel concluded that the allegations were sufficient for certain predicate acts, the argument was not made, and the panel did not face the question of whether acts preparatory to a single event can constitute a pattern.
In Armco, we rejected an argument that there must be proof of a prior criminal conviction of the predicate acts or a discrete racketeering enterprise injury. 782 F.2d at 480-81. The panel expressly noted that "whether the predicate acts fell into a pattern was not before them" and observed that "we leave for the future the task of interpreting that phrase" Armco, 782 F.2d at 481 (citing R.A.G.S. Couture, Inc. v. Hyatt). But plaintiffs' argument regarding R.A.G.S. has more force.
In R.A.G.S., the plaintiff-corporation sued its former president and stockholder asserting that they had defrauded it. The corporation pointed to two mailings of false invoices as two acts of mail fraud; the two acts required for a pattern. The district court granted defendant's motion for summary judgment, concluding that there was evidence of only one act of mail fraud; it was persuaded that the asserted second mailing "was not caused by the defendants and was, therefore, not an execution of a scheme to defraud." Defendants argued on appeal that even if the two acts were caused by the defendants, they were not a pattern, pointing to Sedima's language that "while two acts are necessary, they may not be sufficient." 105 S.Ct. at 3285, n. 14. The panel in R.A.G.S. replied: "[T]he Supreme Court in Sedima implied that two 'isolated' acts would not constitute a pattern." 774 F.2d at 1355. "In this case, however, the alleged acts of mail fraud are related." Id. The panel then found that whether defendants caused the second mailing presented an issue of fact and reversed the grant of summary judgment. R.A.G.S., 774 F.2d at 1355.
Arguably R.A.G.S. did not address the issue before this panel, but rejected only the suggestion that two related acts of mail fraud could not constitute a pattern, 774 F.2d at 1355, at least in traditional terms of stare decisis. But our rule that one panel cannot overturn another serves a somewhat different purpose of institutional orderliness, a distinction evidenced by our insistence that, in the absence of intervening Supreme Court precedent, one panel cannot overturn another panel, regardless of how wrong the earlier panel decision may seem to be. Equally significant, drawing too fine a distinction here would invite further confusion in an already troubled subject. We then bow to R.A.G.S. but urge that it be overturned en banc.
To the extent R.A.G.S. decided the issue, we are now persuaded that the court should change course in order faithfully to serve congressional purpose. And our task is just that. As the Sedima Court observed, the Senate Report focused on the meaning of pattern:
The target of [RICO] is thus not sporadic activity. The infiltration of legitimate business normally requires more than one "racketeering activity" and the threat of continuing activity to be effective. It is this factor of continuity plus relationship which combines to produce a pattern. S.Rep. No. 91-617, p. 158 (1969). (emphasis added).
105 S.Ct. 3285 n. 14. As we see it, a single robbery of a bank cannot be made into a pattern by pointing to a mailing and a phone call (such as to distract bank employees by giving false information). Rather, such acts are preparatory to the single offense of bank robbery. It is when a first robbery is preceded by discrete illegal acts separate in the sense that they are not simply preparatory acts or a second robbery is accomplished that the possibility of a pattern is raised.
It bears emphasis, however, that we describe acts preparatory to a discrete accomplishment. In doing so, we are not concerned that our reading of pattern invites unwarranted escape from RICO by a semantical game of generalizing the illegal objective, such as, suggesting in our bank robbery example that the objective was the robbing of banks, or to use a common example, suggesting that a series of drug transactions are only part of the single offense of drug distribution. There are several discrete criminal events in such cases. Such a generalized objective is indistinguishable from the very criminal enterprise the Act was plainly intended to reach.
In concluding that acts preparatory to the accomplishment of a discrete offense do not form a pattern of racketeering activity, we are supported by virtually every circuit confronting the issue. International Data Bank Ltd. v. Zepkin, 812 F.2d 149, 154-55 (4th Cir.1987); Marks v. Pannell Kerr Forster, 811 F.2d 1108, 1110 (7th Cir.1987); Torwest DBC, Inc. v. Dick, 810 F.2d 925, 929 (10th Cir.1987); Schreiber Distributing v. Serv-Well Furniture Co., 806 F.2d 1393, 1399 (9th Cir.1986); Deviries v. Prudential-Bache Securities, Inc., 805 F.2d 326, 329 (8th Cir.1986); cf. United States v. Ianniello, 808 F.2d 184, 189-92 (2d Cir.1986); Bank of America National Trust & Savings Association v. Touche Ross & Company, 782 F.2d 966, 971 (11th Cir.1986). As the Tenth Circuit put it:
A scheme to achieve a single discrete objective does not of itself create a threat of on-going activity, even when that goal is pursued by multiple illegal acts, because the scheme ends when the purpose is accomplished.
Torwest DBC, 810 F.2d at 929. But R.A.G.S. blocks this path.
In any event, we are persuaded that plaintiffs' complaint failed to allege an "association in fact" enterprise. Because the existence of an enterprise is an essential element of a RICO claim, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1962(c), the district court properly dismissed the complaint.
In Atkinson v. Anadarko Bank & Trust Co., 808 F.2d 438 (5th Cir.1987), we held that to establish an association in fact enterprise, the plaintiff must show "evidence of an ongoing organization, formal or informal, and ... evidence that the various associates function as a continuing unit." Id. at 440 (quoting United States v. Turkette, 452 U.S. 576, 583, 101 S.Ct. 2524, 2528, 69 L.Ed.2d 246 (1981); Shaffer v. Williams, 794 F.2d 1030, 1032 (5th Cir.1986)). This enterprise is not a "pattern of racketeering activity," but must be "an entity separate and apart from the pattern of activity in which it engages." Id. at 441 (quoting Turkette, 452 U.S. at 583, 101 S.Ct. at 2528, 69 L.Ed.2d 246). In order to state a civil RICO claim, plaintiffs must allege both the existence of an "enterprise" and the connected "pattern of racketeering activity." Turkette, 452 U.S. at 583, 101 S.Ct. at 2528. Moreover, plaintiffs must plead specific facts, not mere conclusory allegations, which establish the enterprise. See United States v. Bledsoe, 674 F.2d 647, 664-65 (8th Cir.), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 1040, 103 S.Ct. 456, 74 L.Ed.2d 608 (1982).
Plaintiffs have alleged that Seafirst Commercial, Kenner Marine, and Clark have joined together for the purpose of illegally repossessing the vessel. Thus, plaintiffs have alleged an association. But this association is not an enterprise within the purview of RICO because it lacks continuity. By Turkette, "association-in-fact" enterprises, like corporate or partnership enterprises, must have an ongoing organization or be a continuing unit, such that the enterprise has an existence that can be defined apart from the commission of the predicate acts. Thus, two individuals who join together for the commission of one discrete criminal offense have not created an "association-in-fact" enterprise, even if they commit two predicate acts during the commission of this offense, because their relationship to one another has no continuity. However, if the individuals associate together to commit several criminal acts, their relationship gains an ongoing nature, coming within the purview of RICO.1
Plaintiffs did not allege that Seafirst Commercial, Kenner Marine, and Clark were functioning as a continuing unit, but only that they conspired in this one instance to repossess the vessel. The enterprise was the accomplishment of this discrete event. That is not enough. Proof of a "pattern of racketeering activity" does not necessarily establish an "enterprise" because "pattern" as defined by R.A.G.S. does not require this continuity.
As this case illustrates, the expansive view of pattern in R.A.G.S. will not ordinarily expand civil liability for cases in which the enterprise is alleged to be an association in fact. Joining together only to commit a discrete offense will not sum to the continuity required for an enterprise existing apart from the predicate acts. But the reach of R.A.G.S. is nonetheless wide because it continues to reach enterprises which exist apart from their individual members, such as corporations or partnerships and forces our attention on patterns, as here. It allows a use of RICO Congress never intended.
Accordingly, plaintiffs' allegations do not establish an enterprise, a continuing unit, and the district court correctly dismissed the complaint under Rule 12(b)(6).
This is also the existing policy of the United States Attorney's Office. The United States Attorney's Manual instructs:
No RICO count of an indictment shall charge the enterprise as a group associated in fact, unless the association-in-fact has an ascertainable structure which exists for the purpose of maintaining operations directed toward an economic goal, that has an existence that can be defined apart from the commission of the predicate acts constituting the patterns of racketeering activity.
United States Attorney's Manual, Title 9--Criminal Division, Guideline No. 9-110.360.

Jim Beviglia: Playing Back The 80s: A Decade Of Unstoppable Hits
The music of the 1980s left an indelible mark on pop culture. Thanks to the dawn of MTV and the increasing affordability of synthesizers, a generation of innovative artists took the world by storm to create one of the last great glory eras of pop music.
To get to the heart of what made this decade so special, music journalist Jim Beviglia weaves a narrative of the stories behind the pop music phenomenon. Playing Back the 80s: A Decade of Unstoppable Hits features original interviews with more than sixty artists, producers, session players, writers, and others who were directly involved with the most memorable songs of the decade. Among those who appear in Playing Back the 80s are iconic artists like Huey Lewis, Rick Springfield, Kim Carnes, Vernon Reid, Dennis DeYoung, Colin Hay, and Eddie Money telling the stories of how they created, often against imposing odds and in the midst of bizarre circumstances, the unstoppable hits and unheralded gems that still enchant so many fans today.
Playing Back the 80s will have music fans pulling their old cassettes out of storage and remembering when and where they heard the songs first. For those who didn't grow up in the 80s, this endlessly fun book will show them what the fuss was all about and maybe reveal a few surprises along the way.

In Brief: There's a certain amount of confusion about The Golem made by Paul Wegener (who also plays the creature) and Carl Boese in Germany in 1920. It is neither Wegener's 1915 version (considered lost), nor is it a remake of that film. It is its own beast — a story detailing the creation of the Golem by Rabbi Low (Albert Steinruck) in the Jewish ghetto of Prague in the 16th century. While it's technically more a film of Jewish folklore than an outright horror picture, it certainly qualifies as horror — and supernatural horror at that — and it's pretty much the prototype for every artificial creature yarn that follows in its wake. Put simply, it works on the basis that any such creature will eventually run amok, create all manner of havoc and need to be destroyed. In essence, it's the template for the Frankenstein Monster. The Golem, however, is not a product of mad science, but a clay statue brought to life through some kind of Cabbalistc black magic involving getting the secret word for life from a demon and using the word to animate the statue. This is a still pretty impressive sequence and Wegener's Golem is an imposing figure. Much of the film, however, is devoted to the Rabbi using the creature to prevent the Emperor from persecuting the Jews. Still, the elements of horror are always present, and fans of classic horror will note parallels to both Fritz (Dwight Frye) and the Monster's encounter with little Maria (Marilyn Harris) from James Whale's Frankenstein (1931). Also, The Golem is an excellent example of German Expressionism, drawing from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919), but reaching a somewhat more realistic compromise in terms of design. This excerpt was taken from a review by Ken Hanke published on Oct. 29, 2010.
The Thursday Horror Picture Show will screen The Golem on Thursday, March 9, at 9:15 p.m. at The Grail Moviehouse, hosted by Xpress movie critic Scott Douglas.

Conservative rebellion over COVID-19 restrictions points to a party out of control and a leader in deep trouble
It was but two years back that Boris Johnson swept into No 10 on a Conservative majority not seen since the days of Margaret Thatcher, his foot on the neck of a broken Labour party, his position seemingly unassailable.
So, to mark the anniversary of that triumph with a 100-strong rebellion from unbiddable backbenchers must have been a very bitter blow for the prime minister.
That neither his whips nor the rebels expected the backlash over new COVID restrictions to be so big, points to a party out of control and a leader in deep trouble.
But when it comes to how terminal it is for Mr Johnson, Westminster tends to overreach.
The prime minister is either untouchable or toast, when in reality, neither extreme is true.
But for a senior Conservative MP – Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown – to tell me live on Sky News after the COVID votes on Tuesday night that a leadership challenge is "on the cards" next year if the PM doesn't change his ways, is a big moment.
Adulation has given way to pragmatism. Mr Johnson has to prove to his team that he's a PM still worth backing in the coming months.
"He's used up eight of his nine lives," is how one former ally put it to me. "He's got one life left and that means he has to handle the next crisis well."
Another former cabinet minister puts it another way: if Mr Johnson's backbenches over time decide he is a liability rather than an asset and is putting their seats at risk, they will eventually move against him.
They said: "People do still believe in his magic, in how he can appeal to voters, but he has to step up. The prospect of a leadership in this parliament has gone up massively. He has to fix his political operation."
For this rebellion is about more than just the policy around COVID restrictions, it's as much about principle and style; recent scandals over parties, the funding arrangements for the PM's flat and sleaze has cost him dear, his authority draining away from unforced errors which erode not just his own reputation but that of his government and MPs.
Christmas recess in two days' time cannot come soon enough, the PM lucky he can at least press pause on this snowballing crisis.

A difficult Prime Ministers Questions on Wednesday followed by an even more difficult by-election on Thursday in Shropshire North will punctuate what has undoubtedly been the worst fortnight of his premiership.
And while Boris Johnson will be desperate for the respite of recess, he remains a PM trapped between a restive party and a fast spreading variant. Neither are under his control.
He can at least use recess to try to put his No 10 operation back in order and his premiership back on track.

Bad Bunny in "Bullet Train" (Sony)
Mexican Officials Investigating Ticketmaster After Bad Bunny Fiasco
By Heath Andrews December 13, 2022 Updated: December 13, 2022 4 Mins Read
Ticketmaster. If there were a "Family Feud" question about companies you can't find anything nice to say about, they'd probably be the top answer. Especially among the Swifties. The live event ticket retailer is in hot water with the Mexican government, thanks to allegedly overselling tickets.
Puerto Rican superstar rapper Bad Bunny was set to perform in Mexico City on December 9th. The venue, Estadio Azteca, has seating capacity of over 85,000 and was completely sold out. Imagine going to the venue with your Ticketmaster purchase, only to find out that you're not allowed into the venue because your seat is already claimed. That should be impossible, right? So begins two separate stories of what happened.
According to Ticketmaster, a "large number of fraudulent tickets were sold" to people, which were presented at the venue, causing legitimate ticket holders to be left out. Maybe counterfeiters have gotten so good, they were able to make tickets that fooled the ushers, security, and the scanners. Or, as Mexico's Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor (Office of the Federal Prosecutor for the Consumer) otherwise known as PROFECO attests, all the tickets were actually from Ticketmaster, and the retailer intentionally sold duplicate tickets.

This is one heck of an allegation to make. If Ticketmaster was intentionally selling more tickets than there are seats, then one could potentially make legal arguments that they violated certain consumer protection laws. Maybe you could argue that it's like a hotel that overbooks itself, knowing that some people may not show up for a room, so you can effectively overbook and sell it twice. But that really doesn't fly when it comes to assigned seats for a venue and the Mexican government wants to find out what happened. PROFECO is launching an inquiry into Ticketmaster to get to the bottom of this which could result in fines for the ticket seller.

This of course, comes off the heels of everything thats been happening with Ticketmaster's massive bungling of tickets for the upcoming Taylor Swift tour and what its dynamic pricing format has done to Bruce Springsteen tickets for his upcoming tour. Between bots locking out people who had paid for pre-sale access to Swift seats and Springsteen tickets going for hundreds of dollars more than they've ever been in the past, Ticketmaster is not having a good end to 2022. While the inquiry into what happened with the Bad Bunny concert in Mexico City is ongoing, it's hard to blame PROFECO for thinking Ticketmaster may have been doing something a bit duplicitous. Maybe this was just a genuine case of counterfeiting but it's not like Ticketmaster's legal history is squeaky clean either.
The recent incident with Taylor Swift tickets has brought back stories from the 1990's where Pearl Jam made a complaint to the U.S. Department of Justice about Ticketmaster affecting their booking of shows because the band fought with the ticket seller about their fees and prices. Incidentally a separate class action lawsuit would later be filed against Ticketmaster in 2003 stating that the company did not disclose processing and shipping fees to buyers. They would later settle in 2015 and offered credits to people who purchased tickets from them from 1999 to 2013.

There's also the case where Ticketmaster started enrolling people who bought tickets into a rewards program that charged $9.00 per month. They ended up having to pay over $20 million back on that one. Then there's the allegations that the company worked behind the scenes to sell tickets directly to known resellers without offering them up for general sale. These resellers would then jack up the prices on the tickets, effectively acting as scalpers. This resulted in a ruling from the Canadian government that cost Ticketmaster Canada in the neighborhood of $3.5 million (USD). Now might be a good time to mention the company was also accused of hacking into the computer systems of competitor CrowdSurge, in order to steal trade secrets about their business.
Yeah. So. Ticketmaster.

Today's Special- Free Rolling Stones Outtakes!
The first LP I ever owned was the first Rolling Stones album, got it for Christmas in '64, I was five years old and even then, I knew this is good shit. I still play it, the same copy. I drew a mustache on Bill Wyman on the back cover.
I don't know how they got so good and I'll bet they don't either. I do know they haven't made a decent record since Tattoo You in '81 but that's okay. I saw them do a great acoustic show at the Paradiso in Amsterdam in the early 90's but the record from that show– Stripped wasn't very good, they'd gone back and fixed all the mistakes and took the life out of the thing. I liked the live version of "Oh No, Not You Again" they played live a few summer's back at Lincoln Center before their press conference. Their last big greatest hits package Forty Licks had one nice new tune– Keith's "Am I Losing My Touch", but their records mainly suck these days, and I think even they know it. I read an interview with Keith Richards a few years back who said something to the effect of "we could still make great records, but the record company would never release them". So they bring in lames like Donald Was and Baby Face to try and make them sound as bland as everything else on the radio. Keith did make a great record about ten years ago which Virgin refused to promote or even distribute– it's a Jamaican gospel record recorded at Keith's house in Jamaica, mostly acapella with a bit of African percussion for flavor. Keith dubbed his rasta songbirds The Wingless Angels. Here's their version
of the traditional gospel tune Morning Train. You should try and hunt down the CD,
it's the best thing Keith's done in decades.
According to Martin Elliot's The Rolling Stones: Complete Recording Sessions 1962-2002 (Cherry Red, 2002) these next four tracks were done in August or September of 1978 in L.A. at RCA Recorders (where "Satisfaction" was done) and feature the Small Faces' Ian McLagen on piano. Keith is singing lead and playing the rack harmonica and guitar on the three versions of Jimmy Reed's "My First Plea" (which features the classic line– "don't pull no subway/I'd rather see you pull a train"– translation—I'd rather see you gangbanged than gone). Freddie Cannon's "Tallahassee Lassie" (which Charles Gillet called "the worst rock'n'roll record ever made" in his classic Sound Of The City: The Rise Of Rock, 1970) seems to have always been one of Mick's favorites, he even said the end of "Brown Sugar" was ripped off from it. Anyone out there have any info on the life of Kenny Paulson who played guitar on the Freddie Cannon original? I know he ended up in prison and died of a heroin overdose in '74 and that's about it. Anyways, here they are, ladies, gentlemen and hermaphrodites of the jury, The Rolling Stones:
My First Plea
My Second Plea
My Third Plea
Tallahassee Lassie
Dig how perfect the cymbal crash is, it sounds like they're playing over the original Jimmy Reed track. For comparison's sake, here's the original Jimmy Reed version
of My First Plea.
They may dress like the Golden Girls these days, but god love 'em, where would we be without the Rolling Stones?

Hey Hound!Jeff sent me the link to this, and I just added a link to my blog. (Don't expect to be deluged with new readers.)My cut off point for The Stones was "Goat's Head Soup" and "Made in the Shade" until a couple/three years ago I bought "Rarities, mistakenly assuming it was gonna be a LOT of Mick Taylor/Jimmy Miller-era stuff.To my surprise, some of the more recent cuts were decent, even good! Of course, at least half of the CD was utter crap. Still I was pleasantly surprised that zny 80's/90's stuff was good.For me, even "Goat's Head Soup" gets prit-tee iffy. The last solid one being "Exile."BTW, if you're into MySpace at all, J.D. King & The Coachmen have recently invaded its shores:http://www.myspace.com/jdkingandthecoachmen
For those out there who are unfamiliar with his work, Mr. King is one of the best cartoonists in the world. He played in a band called the Coachmen w/Thurston Moore for many years. Check out his site, a link is on the right side under "stuff I read".
The couple that lives next door provide another Freddie Cannon/Stones connection: She used to work for a Canadian teen mag. The first time she met Freddie Cannon he slapped her ass. She slapped his face, and in the future he behaved like a gentleman, at least around her.She met The Stones, too, circa 1964, and says they smelled really bad. At a concert in Canada, the girls were throwing themselves from the balconies onto the stage. (No one ever said Canadians were bright.)She also met The Beatles around that time and has a photo of them that all four signed. It's kept in a flimsy shed out back. I've told them a couple of times it's worth a lot of dough, and they really should get it indoors, away from the baking heat of summer, the bitter cold of winter, not to mention humidity, mold, insects, etc. It's like they don't hear me, never mind the pic's probably worth more than the doublewide they call home. (No on ever said Canadians were bright.)The hubby of this pair is a bass player, used to play in the NYC Playboy Club, and backed a lot of people there, and elsewhere, in his day: The Drifters, Ray Charles, Del Shannon, etc.He also used to play in Atlantic City a lot and would get blind drunk at Rocky Graziano's bar. Rocky insisted he park in front in a reserved spot because, "You're too drunk to walk a few blocks to your car."Other than that, I've been listening to Jimmy Reed's "At Carnegie Hall," which, I read, wasn't recorded at Carnegie Hall.Thanks for the MP3s!

Congratulations to Kootenay golf pros Bryan Armstrong and Doug Schneider on a great achievement!
There is nothing like an albatross (3 under par) and hole-in-one to add a little excitement to a Kootenay Pro Series event which was recently held at the Springs Golf Course in Radium Hot Springs.
Golf pros Byran Armstrong and Doug Schneider defied the odds by carding an albatross (2 on a par 5) and hole-in-one, while playing in the same group during the same round.
The odds of an albatross is said to be 1 to 6,000,000 and the odds of hole-in-one is about 12,000 to 1 for an average player. So Armstrong and Schneider definitely made some golf history with their historic shots at the Springs earlier in May.
Come to think about it you might want to invite Bryan and Doug to be part of your next corporate foursome—odds are they'll bring your score down.

What Is Emma Watson's Net Worth?
Laura Sanders
Published 8:30, 01 January 2022 GMT
| Last updated 8:30, 01 January 2022 GMT
Emma Watson became a millionaire by the time she hit her teens due to her starring role in Harry Potter.
She appeared alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint on the special Harry Potter reunion episode in January 2022 to talk about her life since the films - and although she's probably set for life, she's still acting and modelling.
Emma Watson is estimated to be worth a whopping $85 million (£63 million), with a lot of that coming from her days as Hermione Granger.
Like Rupert Grint, her base salary for all of the Harry Potter films combined is thought to be around $70 million (£52 million) and at the peak of the Harry Potter craze, Emma was thought to be bringing in between $15-20 million (£11-15 million) a year.
Emma was at one point ranked as the sixth highest-paid actress in the world and listed as one of Forbes' 'Most Valuable Young Stars' in 2009.
For her starring role in the 2017 film Beauty and the Beast, Emma is thought to have raked in $15 million (£11 million). She's also thought to be picking up between $5-10 million (£3.7-£7.4 million) a year in endorsements.
Is Emma Watson married?
Emma Watson isn't married but she's in a serious relationship with an American businessman called Leo Robinton. They started dating in 2019 and Emma has said she can see a future with him.
How old is Emma Watson?
Born on 15th April 990 in Paris, Emma turns 32-years-old on her birthday in 2022.
Emma was born to English parents, both lawyers, and first realised she wanted to be an actress at the age of six. Her parents enrolled her in Stagecoach Theatre Arts in Oxford.

Despite being set for life by 2007 with her Harry Potter earnings, Emma continued her education to university level and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Brown University in May 2014.
Emma is also a model and activist and in 2014, she was appointed a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador and helped to launch the UN Women campaign HeForShe, which advocates for gender equality.

Q: Convert Datatable GroupBy Multiple Columns with Sum using Linq I want to sum of all TotalImages Column after Group BY but its' showing me error.
any one who can help me what's going wrong.
Remember just want to use from this syntax base and want DataTable  not a List. Kindly if some one help me out will be grateful.
Sample Data:-
CountryId | CItyId | TotalImages
1              1        2
1              2        2
1              2        3
1              3        4
2              1        2
2              2        2
2              2        3
2              3        4

DataTable dt = dt.AsEnumerable()
 .GroupBy(r => new { Col1 = r["CountryId"], Col2 = r["CityId"]})
 .Select(g => g.Sum(r => r["TotalImages"]).First())
 .CopyToDataTable();

A: You can use this:-
DataTable countriesTable = dt.AsEnumerable().GroupBy(x => new { CountryId = x.Field<int>("CountryId"), CityId = x.Field<int>("CityId") })
                             .Select(x => new Countries
                                          {
                                              CountryId = x.Key.CountryId,
                                              CityId = x.Key.CityId,
                                              TotalSum = x.Sum(z => z.Field<int>("TotalImages"))
                                          }).PropertiesToDataTable<Countries>();

I am getting, following output:-

Since, We cannot use CopyToDataTable method for anonymous types, I have used an extension method took from here and modified it accordingly.
public static DataTable PropertiesToDataTable<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source)
    {
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        var props = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(typeof(T));
        foreach (PropertyDescriptor prop in props)
        {
            DataColumn dc = dt.Columns.Add(prop.Name, prop.PropertyType);
            dc.Caption = prop.DisplayName;
            dc.ReadOnly = prop.IsReadOnly;
        }
        foreach (T item in source)
        {
            DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
            foreach (PropertyDescriptor prop in props)
            {
                dr[prop.Name] = prop.GetValue(item);
            }
            dt.Rows.Add(dr);
        }
        return dt;
    }

And, here is the Countries type:-
public class Countries
{
    public int CountryId { get; set; }
    public int CityId { get; set; }
    public int TotalSum { get; set; }
}

You can use any other approach to convert it to a DataTable if you wish.
