LIGHTNING Spear finally struck at Group 1 level with an impressive win in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.
The seven-year-old has been knocking on the door at the top level for several seasons and blew away the opposition under Oisin Murphy.
In scooping the £1,000,000 feature, David Simcock's runner gained compensation for an agonising loss in a photo finish to the Lockinge Stakes in May.
The 7-4 favourite Without Parole cut out the early running under Andrea Atzeni, but the Italian was sending out distress signals with around three furlongs to race.
Murphy, meanwhile, was oozing confidence in behind runners aboard the 9-1 shot Lightning Spear.
He was forced to wait for a gap until inside the final furlong, but once in the clear he left his rivals for dead.
Expert Eye (4-1) ran well to take second for Sir Michael Stoute ahead of Lord Glitters (10-1) in third, but Without Parole trailed home in seventh.
It was an emotional win for Simcock, whose dad passed away two days ago.
Simcock said: "He's done very little wrong apart from win a Group 1, until now.
"He's a lovely horse to train. He's been placed in six Group 1s and has never really let us down.
"That was the horse we see at home all the time, it's just getting it to click (on a racecourse). I'm more pleased for the horse than anybody.
"For the horse to get his nose in front in a Group 1 like that, it's great."
Murphy is having a memorable season, having also won the Eclipse Stakes aboard Roaring Lion, and he spoke of his pride in the horse.
Murphy said: "I never ever get nervous before Group 1s, but I was nervous today and was trying to hide it down at the start. He's deserved to win a major Group 1.
"He loves travelling behind heels and I was sure Expert Eye was going to fade away at some stage.
"What a horse, what a training performance. At seven years of age, outstanding."
John Gosden, trainer of flop Without Parole, put the colt's performance down to him having to lead early.
He said: "I knew very early on he was beat. I just hoped one person would go on (and make the running).
"I didn't have a pacemaker to put in. To that extent, you are stuck there (in front) and that just isn't his style of racing.
"There was no pace and that is not his style of racing, being in front, so he was not going to perform to his best like that."


I completed my Linguistics degree last Spring. I stayed two extra quarters to complete my BA in Computer Science and have now graduated. I'm writing to share some good news: I have been accepted to the University of Edinburgh's MSc in speech and language processing program. I was also accepted to Brandeis University's MA program in computational linguistics, University of Washington's MS in computational linguistic, and University of Southern California's MS in computer science. Making my decision was tough. I had been dreaming about attending Brandeis' program ever since Susan sent an email about the program when I was in my second or third year. Ultimately, I have decided to attend Edinburgh's Speech and Language Processing program. I want to give a special thanks to Professor Matt Wagers, Professor Marilyn Walker, and Professor Linda Werner for writing all of my letters of recommendation.


The Climategate story just got bigger – from Rionovosta, via the Ria Novosti agency, posted on Icecap and sent to us from the CEI in Washington (ain't the internet wonderful!). It explains how the Met Office Hadley Centre appears to have been cherry-picking Russian temperature data, to pick the stations which show the warmer temperatures ... a variation on "hide the decline".
James Delingpole is running with it ... and here, plus Big Government has an interesting piece. Now also done by WUWT. The original paper is here (in Russian), with a rough machine translation here.
Steve McIntyre also blogs it, linking it with the CRU e-mails showing that Phil Jones, acting as a reviewer of the CRU data used in the HadCRUT gridded temperature, "went to town" to block the publication of criticisms of his handling of Russian data."
Unusually for us, the article is posted in full (our emphasis) below. The graph above is a temperature plot using some of the data not used by Hadley; it shows the absence of a warming trend.
Icecap notes: recall it is in Soviet Union that the CRU, NOAA, NASA show the greatest warming. As this story implies, there was no obvious reason for these data centres to be selective about stations. It implies the stations often selected were urban and those with incomplete data, providing more opportunity for mischief.
This, as they say, is SERIAL!


Nordic Koivu Ltd will exhibit at Biofach 14 – 17 February 2018. You will find us in hall 8, stand No. 8-207. Welcome!
Nordic Koivu Ltd was awarded the "Enterprise of the Year 2017" prize by the Regional Organisation of Enterprises in North Karelia.
Welcome to meet us at Anuga 5 – 9 October 2013 in Cologne, Germany. You will find us at stand No. 11.1 D-045c. See you there!
Nordic Koivu Ltd has signed a contract with Korean Hitejinro Beverage Co. Ltd. (www.hitejinrobeverage.com) assigning Hitejinro as the exclusive distributor of Nordic Koivu™ consumer product, bottled birch sap, on the Korean market. The official launch will take place at the beginning of September.
Nordic Koivu Ltd will be exhibiting at Biofach 13 – 16 February 2013. Welcome to visit us and to taste the freshness of Finnish nature! You will find us at stand No. 1-512.
Nordic Koivu Ltd will be exhibiting at Biofach 15 – 18 February 2012. Welcome to visit us and to taste the freshness of Finnish nature!
Nordic Koivu Ltd will be exhibiting at Biofach 16 – 19 February 2011. You will find our company at stand No. 1-510 in hall No. 1. Welcome to visit us and to taste the freshness of Finnish nature!
The official opening ceremony took place on Tuesday the 12th of October 2010. The chairman of the board of Nordic Koivu Ltd warmly welcomed the guests and talked briefly about the company's history. Municipal Manager Olli Riikonen brought greetings from the municipality of Tohmajärvi and ended his speech with a festive fanfare on his trumpet. Region Mayor Pentti Hyttinen gave an interesting speech from the regional viewpoint. After the official speeches the guests had the unique opportunity to attend the world premier of birch sap sparkling wine made by Hermanni's Winery.
Nordic Koivu Ltd moved to new premises at the beginning of September. The new premises enable efficient operation and development of the company's activities. The company's new address is Sininentie 145 A, FI-82600 Tohmajärvi, Finland.
Nordic Koivu™ Birch Sap was in Kaj Kalin's art installation "The first night" in the art exhibition Luksus 09 in the summer 2009 in Design Forum Finland. Now the exhibition has been invited to The Artothèque de Caen, France, for the period between 19.11.-23.12.2010. The Luksus exhibition offers different viewpoints on luxury, varying from traditional luxury to eco-luxury and luxurious experiences generated by good design of individual products.
The North Karelia Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment awarded Nordic Koivu Ltd the Regional Environmental Award. The award was given to Nordic Koivu for the following reasons: "Nordic Koivu Ltd has developed birch sap into a finished product, which has a long shelf life unopened at room temperature, but does not contain any preservatives or additives and has not been heated. The company's collection and production process is energy-efficient and does not burden the environment."
The topping-out ceremony of Nordic Koivu Ltd's new premises took place on Friday the 4th of June in windy weather. Construction work is on schedule and the company can start moving into the new premises after the summer holiday season.
The birch sap production season lasted about three weeks. The season was successful both quantitatively and qualitatively.
Construction of the new premises is on schedule. The new building comprises new production premises as well as warehouse and offices, all together about 900 m². The building will be ready at the end of August 2010. All of the company's activities will move to the new premises at the beginning of September 2010.
Nordic Koivu Ltd participates in a three-year development project aiming at the creation of a subcontractor-based birch sap collection network and a universal birch sap grading system. The project started in March 2010 and is administered by Central Karelia Development Company KETI Ltd. In the future Nordic Koivu Ltd aims at buying all the birch sap it needs from subcontractors.
The All-Russian Research Institute of Physical Culture and Sport of the Russian Federation Ministry of Sport, working in close cooperation with the training of the national Olympic sports team, has analysed Nordic Koivu birch sap and given an expert opinion on the use of the product for sports applications.
The expert opinion recommends Nordic Koivu Birch Sap without any restrictions to optimize the functional state of the body during training and competition periods of the yearly training cycle of highly skilled athletes and to prevent athletes' overstrain syndrome.
Nordic Koivu Birch Sap is also recommended for acceleration recovery and preventing metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases in professional athletes as well as others practicing strong physical activity to optimize the functional state and enhance general physical endurance and the quality of life.
Read the English translation of the expert opinion here.
Nordic Koivu Ltd has received many contacts from individuals around the world who suffer from allergies due to birch pollen. Many of these allergy sufferers have noticed that regular consumption of birch sap, both before and during the birch pollen season, has alleviated their allergy symptoms. Encouraged by this feedback, Nordic Koivu has established a small, unofficial test group of people allergic to birch pollen. This group consumed birch sap continually during three consecutive birch pollen seasons and made daily reports on the impact birch sap had on their allergy symptoms.
The test results were very promising as each member of the test group felt that regular consumption of birch sap had a dramatic effect in alleviating their allergy symptoms. It must be noted that these tests are not official. However, Nordic Koivu is currently planning to begin scientific research on this subject in cooperation with universities.
The interest in birch sap as an ingredient in both the cosmetic industry and food & beverage industry is rapidly increasing. These industries are strongly focusing on production development accompanied by the importance of creating new products using natural ingredients. This spring Nordic Koivu Ltd produced birch sap in large containers for several significant industrial clients according to their individual, specific requirements.

Q: Decrypting S/MIME with Python3 OpenSSL library I have the following problem. I need to create a Python program where I can download any mail from host and decrypt it with given .pfx file and passcode.

In what will come as a big boost for businesses and shops along Norzin Lam and also for customers who use the parking space there, the cabinet in its last meeting did not approved plans by the Thimphu thromde to pedestrianize Norzin Lam or remove the parking space there.
Thimphu thromde had announced earlier this year that it would remove all parking spaces on Norzin Lam by December 2018 once the two the multi level car parking's are completed near Zangtopelri and the BOD.
This was in spite of the fact that the since mid 2016 the cabinet had temporarily put the Thromde's pedestrianization plans on hold after shops and businesses along the road put up a petition to the cabinet.
The cabinet had said that it would look at the Thimphu Structure plan and see if it is feasible to pedestrianize Norzin Lam since the last cabinet approval was given in 2003 when conditions were quite different.
The Thromde's plan of removing all parking spaces and allowing vehicles to stop only for 15 minutes by the end of 2018 was seen as a backdoor entry to defy the cabinet's halt orders.
The cabinet in it last meeting found that adequate stake holder consultation had not been done on the issue. It also found traffic movement studies were not done to see the impact of blocking off the main street of Thimphu to all vehicular traffic.
The cabinet also found that the one-day pedestrian day every year, where Norzin Lam is blocked off did not show any positive gains as it leads to congestion and traffic jams in other areas.
It found that pedestrianizing Norzin Lam without the proper consultation and studies would lead to traffic gridlock and congestion on the other roads around it.
A cabinet order not giving approval to the pedestrianization was issued and will be binding on the Thimphu Thromde.
However, interestingly on 8th August the Urban Planning and Design division of Thimphu Thromde on its facebook page put up a video promoting the pedestrianization of Norzin Lam saying it was approved by the cabinet in 2003.
The Bhutanese in a detailed article in July 2018 had pointed out the fact that while the Thromde's two Multi level Car Parking (MLCP) projects provide additional parking for 550 cars, it does not make sense to remove around 230 car parking spaces along Norzin Lam.
This is when 1,200 new vehicles enter the city's traffic systems every year.
Shops along Norzin Lam say that the removal of parking spaces on Norzin Lam by Thimphu Thromde will also harm their business and instead divert people to shops in the two MLCPs.
Some shopkeepers say that the Thromde's plan for Norzin Lam seems more about the commercial viability of the two MLCPs than actually creating additional parking space. The MLCPs have 20 percent commercial space to build shops.
Shop owners were also not happy with these 15 minutes parking rules as it will adversely affect their businesses.
A Road Safety and Transport Authority's (RSTA) senior official, on the condition of anonymity, said that the removal of parking spaces in Norzin Lam, is going to make the traffic situation even worse.


Been there, done that and you should listen.
Anyone who's successfully run a microISV for 12 years is someone you need to listen to. So interviewing Clay Nichols of Bungalow Software for this week's Microsoft Channel 9 The MicroISV Show was quite a pleasure. Clay has a hammock-full of advice about balancing development, marketing and working with your significant other to make your microISV successful.


I'm very pleased to be part of your community. I have played for around 15 years and seem now to be firmly fixed in the Baroque. I have dedicated my next three lifetimes to learning Bach's lute and cello suites. The Chaconne wiped out most of last year!
Looking forward to learning much from the combined experience of the group.


Congratulations to Kate Adnams on gaining her Umpires National C Badge.

redBus announces rollout of India's first vaccinated bus service
In a first for the bus transport sector, redBus, India's largest online bus ticketing platform, announced the launch of vaccinated bus services across 600+ major routes in the country.
This new arrangement guarantees that passengers of an intercity bus get to travel with vaccinated co-passengers and crew. Booking a ticket on this service requires the travellers to have received at least the first shot of the Covid-19 vaccine and they must submit proof of the same at the time of boarding.
Vaccinated Bus is being introduced in collaboration with private partner bus operators that have a customer rating of more than four stars out of five on the platform. Presently vaccinated bus services have begun operating across 600+ routes on redBus, with the crew and passengers having had at least the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
redBus already implements various safety measures under its 'Safety+' programme, which is a unique certification given to partner bus operators who meet the highest standards of safety and sanitisation. These include deep cleaning of buses after each trip, compulsory masking, hand sanitisation and thermal screening of both passengers and the crew.
In order to ensure proper execution of this new system, boarding for passengers who book their tickets on vaccinated buses will only be allowed once they produce their ID proof and vaccination certificate at the time of boarding. The travellers will also be informed of these requirements before the journey through e-mail and SMS. The partner bus operator staff will physically verify the vaccination certificates/ID proofs for all adult passengers before boarding, with the exception of passengers aged below 18. Passengers who fail to provide the necessary proof will be denied boarding.
redBus CEO Prakash Sangam stated: "According to a survey that we recently undertook with our customers, 89 per cent of the respondents said that they prefer to travel in a bus which had all the bus staff and co-passengers vaccinated with at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. It is therefore evident that a vaccinated bus rids passengers of their anxiety to a large extent and restores their confidence to undertake travel, which they are all so eagerly looking forward to. It is also extremely encouraging to witness our partner bus operators stepping up efforts to support us in this undertaking. At the moment, these services are spread across 600+ routes in the country and we will look at further scaling this initiative based on the response to it."
Some of the top routes across the country where vaccinated buses are currently operational are listed below:
1. Delhi – Chandigarh – Delhi
2. Hyderabad – Tirupati – Hyderabad
3. Ahmedabad – Udaipur – Ahmedabad
4. Bengaluru – Coimbatore – Bengaluru
5. Delhi – Lucknow – Delhi

Meta-owned WhatsApp is working on a new Mac app that uses the Apple Mac Catalyst development environment to make better use of system resources.
According to AppleInsider, WhatsApp currently provides a web-based Electron app for Mac users in addition to its web app via browsers.
Electron and Catalyst are software development frameworks that help developers create desktop apps.
The new app has been in a closed beta for a few months, but now anyone can download the file on macOS Big Sur or later on the WhatsApp website, according to the report.
Following installation, it will display a QR code that users can scan with their iPhone to link their accounts using the WhatsApp iOS app.
The Mac app's three-panel interface provides access to archived chats, starred messages, phone calls, and settings.
The Catalyst app includes features not available in the Electron version, such as file drag-and-drop and a spell-checker, the report mentioned.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp has reportedly rolled out some new shortcuts for group admins to quickly and easily perform actions for a certain group participant, on iOS.
The new shortcuts simplify interactions with group members as now the platform supports large groups of up to 1,024 participants, reports WABetainfo.
The new update will help group admins quickly manage and communicate with such a large number of participants in private.
Mumbai: No jumbo block on Western Railway on Sunday
There will be no jumbo block on Sunday, January 29 over Western Railway's (WR) Mumbai suburban section, the WR announced today.
Major block to dismantle Gokhale bridge
Earlier last week, the Western Railway had enforced a major 4.5 hour block on the down slow lines from 12.15am to 4.45am on the intervening nights of Jan 19-20 and Jan 20-21 to carry out dismantling work of the Gokhale road overbridge at Andheri.
As a result, a number of local train services were affected.
Panvel unit of employees of Bank of Maharashtra to join a day strike
The Panvel unit of employees of the Bank of Maharashtra joined the one-day strike on January 27. All the unions operating in the Bank of Maharashtra have called for a one-day nationwide strike on January 27, 2023, mainly on the issue of adequate recruitment in all the cadres. The bank has eliminated the part-time staff cadre.
In the case of clerks and officers, the bank has not filled vacancies caused by death, retirement, resignations, or promotions, let alone vacancies caused by business growth.
During the last 10 years, banks' business has grown by 250% while their staff has been reduced by 20%, and thus staff is hard pressed.
According to the union, employees are required to work beyond normal hours on almost all days and report to their duties on their weekly off and holidays. Employees are not able to avail of leave to their credit even for exigencies, and thus they have lost work-life balance.
Due to acute staff shortages, employees are unable to provide efficient customer service, despite their sincere efforts. Employees are working under immense pressure and thus are undergoing physical and mental stress.
The unions have been raising this issue of recruitment individually and collectively, but management is adamant and stubborn; thus, the January 27, 2023, strike has become inevitable.

Many memoirists believe they must begin the story with their birth. But remember, a memoir covers just a slice of your life, perhaps the years you spent working on an oil pipeline or flying a rescue helicopter. Or, the slice may focus on pivotal points in your life, such as an important relationship or a couple of life-changing events.
That said, it's certainly possible that the slice of life you present will include your birth. For example, if you're writing about growing up in the foster-care system, events surrounding your birth and early childhood may be essential to your theme and story line.
But in many memoirs, descriptions of the author's birth and childhood are not terribly important – and may be completely irrelevant.
One of the silliest "writing rules" is this one, which insists that everything you write must conform perfectly to the guidelines laid out in your junior high grammar textbook. This notion can paralyze memoir writers, and some may never get past the first sentence for fear of making an embarrassing mistake.
But we don't speak to each other using perfect grammar, and don't think that way. So sometimes, using partial sentences, slang, split infinitives or saying "Is that them?" instead of "Is that they?" is absolutely appropriate for your memoir, and anything else will sound stilted and false.
This is not to say that proper grammar is unimportant. But don't let the fear of getting it wrong stand in your way, especially when writing your first draft. Pour your heart out as you tell your tale, and let the participles dangle and the infinitives split as they may. You can always go back later to work on the grammar, or hire an editor to do it for you.
Of all the "writing rules," none contradicts the spirit of the memoir more than this one. That's because, as a memoir writer, you must be honest – sometimes brutally so. Life isn't always pretty, and if you try to convince your readers that yours always has been and always will be wonderful, they probably won't believe you.
Remember, you're not writing a memoir to win a popularity contest or convince your readers that you're perfect. Instead, you're sharing your deepest thoughts and feelings so your readers will understand you, warts and all. Your struggles and obstacles are part of what shaped you: Own them. The more honest your presentation of your shortcomings and the challenges you have faced, the better.

Home Teens Unite Volunteer Joe Nominated for Youth Award
We are so proud to announce that Teens Unite Volunteer, Joe, has been shortlisted for the Todd Waldock Young Entrepreneur Award at the 2019 Broxbourne Youth Awards!
Joe is an outstanding individual; in 2018 alone, he donated in excess of 80 volunteer hours and whilst working with our Teens Team on our recent Discover You event, he secured product donations to the value of £19,000.
Joe's volunteering has also seen him boost fundraising by supporting the charity at events and spreading awareness of Teens Unite through leaflet deliveries.
Most notable though is Joe's enthusiastic commitment to volunteering at workshops and activities run for our beneficiaries. By Joe being himself, he has an amazing ability to put the young people at ease and enable them to feel normal, which is a feeling that most haven't experienced since their diagnosis.
Our Volunteer Relationship Manager, Nicky, said: "Through Joe's volunteering he is a welcoming face, a friend, a supporter, an advocate for Teens Unite and we are so proud and lucky to have Joe as a volunteer. He is an admirable young man who is so deserving of this award and recognition for all that he does for Teens Unite."

Nike's Flyprint Running Shoe: Is It Really 3D Printed?
Nike announced a new "3-D Printed" running shoe, but it seems a bit strange to me.
The new shoe, released in time for the famous London Marathon, is made using their new "Flyprint" method.
This is quite a competitive move, as their major nemesis, Adidas, has been 3D printing amazing midsoles using Carbon's technology in recent months. Their system involves producing a highly complex variable lattice structure that provides great support yet weighs far less due to the sparse nature of the lattice.
So what has Nike done in "3-D Printing" to catch up?
It is clearly a thermoplastic extrusion process, one commonly seen on desktop 3D printers. They say the material used is TPU, a flexible substance also commonly used by hobbyist 3D printer operators. But it's also really just 2D.
Nike explains their process takes as input some form of 3D data for the wearer, presumably a 3D foot scan. Then their software produces these 2D pieces that are woven into the upper for the shoe.
One interesting benefit of 3D textiles over traditional 2D fabrics is the increased dynamism made possible by adding an interconnection beyond a warp and weft; an advantage of Flyprint textiles comes in the fused nature of the material. For example, whereas in a knit or woven textile there is frictional resistance between the interlaced (warp and weft) yarns, in a printed textile, due to its fused intersections, there is greater potential for precision-tuned containment. It is also lighter and more breathable than Nike's previously employed textiles.
Ok, I think I understand. Maybe.
Nike seems to be 3D printing 2D sheets to make custom uppers for runners. I cannot imagine these vary significantly from person to person, and thus I also cannot imagine how this would provide a noticable benefit to the runner, aside from the cool color texture.
What is Nike doing here? My opinion is that they are attempting to do a quick catchup to Adidas by doing "something" 3D printed. But this really isn't 3D printed: it's 2D sheets that are very clearly 2D printed. Well, perhaps because there are TWO whole layers, it might be considered 3D. If this is 3D printing, then it is perhaps one of the lamest applications of 3D printing I've yet seen.
The advantages of the Flyprint technique seem quite limited as compared to the Adidas implementation, which provides notable lowering of shoe weight, and creatively leverages 3D printing tech.
This seems to be a marketing exercise by Nike, one that no doubt will entrance many in the public.

In a significant advance, a research group from IBM successfully applied their new "controlled spalling" layer transfer technique to gallium nitride (GaN) crystals, a prevalent semiconductor material, and created a pathway for producing many layers from a single substrate.
"Our approach to thin film removal is intriguing because it's based on fracture," said Stephen W. Bedell, research staff member at IBM Research and one of the paper's authors. "First, we first deposit a nickel layer onto the surface of the material we want to remove. This nickel layer is under tensile strength—think drumhead. Then we simply roll a layer of tape onto the nickel, hold the substrate down so it can't move, and then peel the tape off. When we do this, the stressed nickel layer creates a crack in the underlying material that goes down into the substrate and then travels parallel to the surface."
"A good analogy of how remarkable this process is can be made with a pane of glass," Bedell said. "We're breaking the glass in the long direction, so instead of a bunch of broken glass shards, we're left with two full sheets of glass. We can control how much of the surface is removed by adjusting the thickness of the nickel layer. Because the entire process is done at room temperature, we can even do this on finished circuits and devices, rendering them flexible."
The group's work is noteworthy for multiple reasons. For starters, it's by far the simplest method of transferring thin layers from thick substrates. And it may well be the only layer transfer method that's materially agnostic.
"We've already demonstrated the transfer of silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, gallium nitride/sapphire, and even amorphous materials like glass, and it can be applied at nearly any time in the fabrication flow, from starting materials to partially or fully finished circuits," Bedell said.
"The basic mechanism of substrate spalling fracture started out as a materials science problem," he said. "It was known that metallic film deposition would often lead to cracking of the underlying substrate, which is considered a bad thing. But we found that this was a metastable phenomenon, meaning that we could deposit a thick enough layer to crack the substrate, but thin enough so that it didn't crack on its own—it just needed a crack to get started."
"This creates a large stress discontinuity at the edge of the nickel film so that once the tape is applied, a small pull on the tape consistently initiates the crack in that region," he said.
Though it may not be obvious, gallium nitride is a vital material to our everyday lives. It's the underlying material used to fabricate blue, and now white, LEDs (for which the 2014 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded) as well as for high-power, high-voltage electronics. It may also prove useful for inherent biocompatibility, which when combined with control spalling may permit ultrathin bioelectronics or implantable sensors.
"Controlled spalling has already been used to create extremely lightweight, high-efficiency GaAs-based solar cells for aerospace applications and flexible state-of-the-art circuits," Bedell said.
The group is now working with research partners to fabricate high-voltage GaN devices using this approach. "We've also had great interaction with many of the GaN technology leaders through the Department of Energy's ARPA-E SWITCHES program and hope to use controlled spalling to enable novel devices through future partnerships," Bedell said.

Q: How can I convert a NOT IN Clause into a left outer join in MySQL I am trying to convert a query for better performance from a NOT IS clause to a left outer join.
the following is my query which works perfectly
SELECT a.company_code, account_name, legal_name FROM accounts a

WHERE account_id NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT  account_id FROM phone_calls WHERE status = 2 ) AND account_id >10000

ORDER BY legal_name, account_name, account_id

So I want to change it to a left join or some type of join that will do the same query.
I have tried this but it is not working for me
SELECT a.company_code, a.account_name, a.legal_name, p.phone_call_id
FROM accounts AS a
LEFT JOIN phone_calls AS p ON p.account_id = a.account_id

WHERE a.account_id >= 10000 AND p.status = 2 AND p.phone_call_id IS NULL

ORDER BY a.legal_name, a.account_name, a.account_id

my second query returns nothing always.
I have tried this query and this gives me more results that the first query so it is not the same
SELECT a.company_code, a.account_name, a.legal_name, p.phone_call_id
FROM accounts AS a
LEFT JOIN phone_calls AS p ON p.account_id = a.account_id AND p.status = 2 AND a.account_id >= 10000

WHERE p.account_id IS NULL

ORDER BY a.legal_name, a.account_name, a.account_id

A: put the check for p.status = 2 in the join clause, not in the where clause :
SELECT a.company_code, a.account_name, a.legal_name, p.phone_call_id
FROM accounts AS a
LEFT JOIN phone_calls AS p ON p.account_id = a.account_id AND p.status = 2
WHERE a.account_id >= 10000
AND p.phone_call_id IS NULL

ORDER BY a.legal_name, a.account_name, a.account_id

If you put it in the where clause, phone_calls will be joined, and you will check after joining

*

*that p.status=2

*that p.phone_call_id IS NULL

these statements are probably in total conflict (all phone_calls with a status = 2 have an id).
And in general, you should not have a clause on a Left joined tabled in the WHERE clause (except IS NULL / IS NOT NULL)

A: Just curious, but try using a NOT EXISTS clause:
SELECT company_code
     , account_name
     , legal_name
FROM   accounts a
WHERE  account_id > 10000
   AND NOT EXISTS (
      SELECT 1
      FROM phone_calls b
      WHERE b.status = 2
        AND b.account_id = a.account_id
      )
ORDER BY legal_name, account_name, account_id

I think only an EXPLAIN will reveal which is the better technique.  Seems strange to ORDER the results by columns not selected, but that's a different question.


As part of the 2017 OzAsia Festival, Hong Kong dancer, dance teacher and choreographer Chloe Wong will be one of 11 choreographers from Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore undertaking a five-day residency, titled Australia-Asia Dance Lab, at LW Dance Hub in the Lion Arts Centre, Adelaide. Under the overall guidance of acclaimed choreographer Leigh Warren, the residency will enable participants from diverse backgrounds to collaborate in an experimental dance laboratory, and audiences will be offered the unique experience of being able to see them exchanging ideas and developing work together. I recently spoke with Chloe Wong in Hong Kong.
A 2006 graduate from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts majoring in Modern Dance, Wong undertook a Masters degree program in the US and has extensive experience as both dancer and choreographer. Her solo and ensemble works have been performed in Asia, Europe and America and she is engaged in a three-year exchange in Japan.
Chloe Wong likes to work with other dancers in exchange programs, acknowledging each participant as an individual and what they bring to a workshop. Her own work, she says, is about enabling every individual to express their beliefs, with sharing an important part of the process. Her choreography develops organically, evolves over time and may be redeveloped with each new production.
Having previously worked with Australian dancers, Wong is excited to be doing so again. The other choreographers in Dance Lab are Alison Currie, Richard Cilli, Natalie Allen and Lina Limosani (Australia), Victor Fung (Hong Kong), Yu-ju Lin, Kuan-Hsiang Liu and I-Fen Tung (Taiwan), and Christina Chan and Ricky Sim (Singapore). "You just don't know what will happen in the workshop… it's the same as life," she says.
As there is no plan to create a finished work or present a final performance, Dance Lab is an experiment without a predetermined outcome, and thus places no constraints on how the 11 participants might interact over the five days. At the end of the Lab, the artistic outcome will be the sharing of ideas between the participants. Wong suggests that working with other dancers "is a challenge, like making friends," and she has no specific plans for the residency, preferring as she normally does to work spontaneously with the others involved.
Given Dance Lab's open-ended, exploratory nature, offering such a workshop is a courageous innovation by the OzAsia Festival, but one optimistically supported by numerous agencies suggesting expected benefits for the contributing countries and their artists in the long-term.
As well as being able to visit the Dance Lab workshop, the public are welcome to attend a public discussion (details below).
Collaboration and cultural exchange are central to the OzAsia Festival. In 2016 the Adelaide Festival Centre signed a memorandum of understanding with the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC) to provide for shared programs to be delivered in 2016 and 2017. Hong Kong choreographers Chloe Wong and Victor Fung, new media artist and composer Gaybird and writer Dorothy Tse appearing in OzAsia 2017 are supported by HKADC.
Australia-Asia Dance Lab has been jointly funded by the Government of South Australia, Arts SA, DanceHub, The Mill, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, Culturelink Singapore and the National Arts Council Singapore.
Chris Reid visited Chloe Wong and Dr Wilfred Wong Ying Wai in Hong Kong courtesy of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and the Adelaide Festival Centre.

Interview with Billy Talent; Guitarist Ian talks about 'Afraid Of Heights', drummer Aaron and a small show opening for Guns 'n' Roses
By Marina 11/02/2016
Ahead of their upcoming show with none other than Guns n' fuckin' Roses, Pure Grain Audio caught up with Ian, guitarist with punk rockers Billy Talent to chat about the show and their new album Afraid Of Heights.
Hey Ian how are you?
Ian: Good how you doing?
I'm good thanks. I'm sure you're pretty busy today so I'll keep it short and sweet is that good?
Ian: No worries no worries yeah that's great thanks.
Awesome. Okay, so let's get right into it. First album in five years right? Why so long in between?
Ian: Four years. Four years, four years. I guess 2012 was our last record. We normally put out a record every three years but we put out a greatest hits in between. Vigil and we were changing management at the time as well.
Ian: That was… We had whole different manager and then we've moved on. Stuff behind the curtain, I guess…(laughs)
So you wrote and produced the whole album which was a progression from just producing the last album? What made you want to undertake the whole shebang and how did they let you do it all on your own?
Ian: Well, I've always kinda done that like the last couple albums, Dead Silence especially but it's just one of those things where, as you get older, you kinda settle into a role in the band and that's been my role since the band started, so this album I just wanted to do it myself.
What was/is the writing process like doing it that way?
Ian: Literally we have this beautiful building in Toronto that we call home now that we're really happy to have. It's like our little headquarters and I've been going there every day writing songs for this album over the last two or three years. I must've written over 20 songs and we all narrowed it down to the ones that ended up on the album.
All the going to work every day kinda thing and writing this up it's been narrowed to these and for me I love writing and I'm super passionate about this, it's just a role I've kinda fallen into.
I haven't heard a bad thing about the album. How do you personally feel about the album when you compare it to past records?
Ian: I think this one is one of our best albums especially for this time, what's going on right now. We've never really had an album where every song encompasses a theme before and this album, the whole theme of the album is fear and all this stuff that's going on in the world right now seems to keep escalating. Over the last couple of years, reading about things that are happening in the world just really affected us.
Ben and I wrote these lyrics for all these songs to be based around fear and why do we have to live in a society based on fear when we just need to talk to each other more and understand each other. The whole album is kind of based around that. That's why it's called Afraid of Heights.
Were you always a political kind of event or was it just a recent shift?
Ian: I think we always were even right from the beginning. As you get older you stop writing songs about like I'm angry with my parents or my girlfriend broke up with me as you get older and you start writing songs about things that really matter and I think, over the last, especially the last few albums, we've been writing songs more in the grander political scheme I guess.
The trailer on YouTube, it's pretty rad. And the message is quite inspiring. It's different from a lot of other promo videos. What made you go in that direction?
Ian: We thought it was really cool. I think Ben had seen a Trouble video and it was something that people were doing and that's one of the things with this record. We don't want to turn into that band that is so out of date, we'd really like to stay in tune with what's happening. He had this really great idea to do this mission statement and it turned out great. It was a really positive thing that kind of set up the record for us.
The message of power of rock n' roll, what is it to you?
Ian: To me it's an art form that's kinda taken a back seat in the last few years with electronic music and pop music being in the foreground now. Rock n' roll is something that has changed completely.
Bands like The Clash and Rage Against the Machine really affected us when we were young and they had a really strong political message. It seems to still be the only art form that carries that kind of power to it, so it's just a reminder that we're still here being rock fans and all you know?
So I have a couple questions about Aaron are you okay talking about it?
Ian: Yeah absolutely yeah.
Okay so we know he's the original drummer and he's suffering from an MS relapse, was it hard to move on without him?
Ian: Yeah absolutely it was the quite possibly the weirdest and hardest and most heartbreaking situation to be in. There's no rulebook or textbook for this type of thing so we, the four of us, we had to kind of figure this out on the fly. Back in August of last year we were doing the record, the songs were all written and we had the studio time booked to make the record and we were just playing a handful of summer festivals when Aaron had a Relapse. This time though it was much worse than it's ever been in the last 15 years. He's a brother to us and a friend so we of course pushed back the studio date and kept pushing it back but, at one point when he had to see like another round of doctors, we all realized this was more serious than we thought. It turned out it was and he's still recovering from it and he will be probably for the remainder of the year.
The unfortunate part of MS is that there's no real timeline where you can say he's gonna get better in three weeks or three months or, it could take up to a year or years. So we literally had to have that really weird conversation about how are gonna progress as a band and how are we gonna do this. Aaron wanted us to go forward with another drummer for the album and the tour and the first guy we all thought of was Jordan Hickey, from Alexisonfire because he's just a great guy, he gets our band, we've toured with those guys for almost a decade and he's really good friends with all of us so. Jordan came down and we had a meeting the five us and it was amazing, it was so good. He was incredibly sensitive to Aaron's situation and so, right now, he's played on the album and he's gonna be doing the remainder of touring for they year with us.
Is Aaron kind of back to his old self? How is he feeling right now?
Ian: Yeah, he's being… laughs… Aaron, he would show up in the studio every day and he's doing a lot of photography and stuff now but he's still not at the point where he can get back on the drum kit yet. He's gonna have to keep working at that before he can do something that's so physically intensive because, out of any instrument in a band, the most physically intensive job is the drummer and it requires a lot of stamina and a lot of work and, for him to get back to that, it's gonna be a while still but he's working at it every day still.
Are you guys gonna plan on doing anything charitable for MS? What about a charity show? What do you guys think about doing one for MS?
Ian: We do one like almost annually. Aaron does, well his organisation, we try to do one every year. We've done one in Germany, we've done a couple in Toronto at the Opera House and the Phoenix and we'll do another one for sure yeah. We'll get like a bunch of friends together, like fans together, and Indian Hand crowd, AlexsonFire and we'll just play a show and all the proceeds go to MS.
That's amazing that's so good. So a couple more questions then I'll let you go for good. Let's talk about the huge show tomorrow, Guns and fucking Roses like how did that go about?
Ian: That's.. yeah I know, I'm still kind of blown away that happened but yeah we got the phone call to be opening support, main support at the Rogers Center which to me is like both of those situations are a dream come true because, ever since I was a little kid I remember when Joe Carter hit that home run. It was early 90's.. (laughs).. I can see the Rolling Stones there and AC/DC there. I mean to play there is one thing but to open up for Guns n' Roses, I mean. Appetite For Destruction was one of my favorite records back when I was a kid and I remember buying it the week it came out, back in 1989. So it's just amazing, it's an amazing opportunity and I'm so honored that we got the phone call.
So, how do you prepare for shows like this? I know this isn't the biggest crowd you've played at but it's a hometown show. How do you prepare mentally and physically for it?
Ian: Well it's definitely the biggest crowd in our hometown that we probably have ever played for. We've been rehearsing all week because we want to be really good tomorrow but there's nothing that can really prepare you. The only thing I feel good about is mental preparation-wise.
We've opened up for Green Day in stadiums in Paris and other really big bands and stadiums. They did theirs a lot different than arenas. Arenas are one thing and they're big but a stadium is massive. So it's just a strange feeling playing in a stadium. We've got to play a few times opening up for other bands so that's the experience that we're gonna be drawing on I guess.
Good luck tomorrow. I know you guys are gonna kill it. I'm gonna be there cheering you on so all my best to you guys and Aaron, okay.
Ian: Thanks so much, bye.

La synchronisation d'horloges est un mécanisme permettant à deux systèmes distincts d'être synchronisés, c'est-à-dire d'avoir une différence entre leurs temps subjectifs la plus faible possible.

En sciences de l'information (Informatique, télécommunications et traitement du signal), le temps est une notion omniprésente. Les signaux manipulés et échangés dépendent en effet du temps qu'il s'agisse par exemple des signaux audio dans un microphone ou les signaux de radionavigation reçus par un récepteur GPS, des hyperfréquences en téléphonie mobile, des signaux d'un sonar dans un sous-marin, des signaux biomédicaux, des signaux vidéo en télévision, des données informatiques au sein d'un ordinateur ou circulant à travers un réseau informatique…

La mesure du temps dans les dispositifs électroniques est faite localement à l'aide d'horloges électroniques pilotées par des quartz. Les fréquences sont en général très précises mais on observe des fluctuations dues à de nombreux facteurs (par exemple aux variations de température, aux variations d'altitude, à la mobilité par effet Doppler) et des différences de phase. Les fluctuations entraînent des dérives plus ou moins importantes (jusqu'à plusieurs secondes en fin de journée) et sont aléatoires. Le temps étant mesuré en comptant les impulsions d'horloge, les petites fluctuations sur la fréquence d'horloge peuvent conduire à des erreurs de temps importantes, dès lors que celles-ci sont cumulées sur un grand nombre d'impulsions.

Quelques exemples
 dans les réseaux informatiques, « quand sur une station on crée un fichier, celui-ci est physiquement créé sur le serveur à la date du serveur et pas à celle de la station qui a demandé la création. Si la station et le serveur ne sont pas synchronisés on peut ainsi avoir des fichiers dont la date de modification est toujours plus récente ou plus ancienne, perturbant ainsi le fonctionnement de certains logiciels. On a un problème analogue avec la messagerie électronique où l'on peut recevoir des courriers avant qu'ils soient partis, ou avec les statistiques qu'on ne peut pas exploiter car les horloges dérivent ».
 en téléphonie mobile, les messages sont des suites de symboles binaires dont la durée est égale à la largeur symbole et qui sont souvent multiplexés avec les messages d'autres abonnés. Leur interprétation correcte en réception exige que le récepteur se synchronise sur le début de chaque mot et de chaque symbole ;
 dans un enregistrement vidéo, les modalités « son et image » sont codées et enregistrées différemment et doivent être synchronisées.
 en navigation GPS, la localisation d'un objet demande que les horloges des satellites soient synchronisées entre elles et avec celle du récepteur ; une erreur de temps minime sur un satellite entraîne une erreur de positionnement au sol, et des incohérences avec les mesures des autres satellites ;
 en électronique, avec un multiplexeur en temps, les sources d'émission se doivent d'être bien synchronisées pour ne pas déborder de leur time slot.

Besoin d'une synchronisation
Pour tous les traitements basés sur des mesures de temps et nécessitant une coordination des processus, la synchronisation est alors capitale pour éliminer les erreurs de résultats liées aux dérives des horloges individuelles  mises en jeu.

Dans les dispositifs de transmission du signal par exemple, on peut transmettre des paquets d'échantillons à des fréquences beaucoup plus élevées, mais la restitution doit être faite à la bonne cadence pour ne pas distordre le signal. Si des échantillons étaient perdus, ou si leur valeur est corrompue, on peut  calculer très rapidement des valeurs de remplacement à condition d'être capable de restituer le signal à la bonne cadence, c'est-à-dire d'avoir le bon rythme.

Le rôle du récepteur dans les systèmes de transmission numérique est de synchroniser un oscillateur local avec la porteuse utilisée à l'émission, pour démoduler le signal reçu. Une autre fonction de base du récepteur est de synchroniser une horloge locale avec l'horloge émission pour échantillonner le signal démodulé et restituer les données émises. Les synchronisations de la porteuse et de l'horloge sont indispensables aussi bien au niveau phase qu'au niveau fréquence (temps).

Le terme Synchronisation (généralement définie comme l'action de coordonner plusieurs opérations entre elles en fonction du temps) en sciences de l'information doit être notamment compris en tant que synchronisation d'horloges.

Objectif
La synchronisation d'horloges consiste à caler toutes les horloges mises en jeu sur une variation uniforme c'est-à-dire :
 qu'elles s'initialisent uniformément (démarrent au même moment avec la même heure absolue ou au pire avec une variation connue c'est-à-dire à une incertitude connue près) ;
 qu'elles présentent une dérive exactement au même instant. La dérive est d'autant plus importante que la précision des horloges est faible.

Réalisation
La synchronisation absolue d'horloge ne peut pas être obtenue naturellement. En effet, les dérives des horloges physiques des équipements sont très variables en fonction de leur technologie de fabrication  et des conditions dans lesquelles elles se retrouvent (cité dans une partie antérieure de ce document). Les horloges ne s'initialisent pas non plus simultanément.

La synchronisation est réalisée en réglant l'heure de l'ensemble des horloges impliquées dans un système, à l'heure de l'horloge la plus stable et la plus fiable. Celle-ci qui peut faire directement partie intégrante du système ou lui être externe. Par exemple l'heure des satellites GPS est utilisée pour synchroniser les équipements réseaux de téléphonie mobile GPRS (le GPRS et le GPS sont des systèmes distincts), UMTS et LTE. Par contre, l'heure des satellites permet de synchroniser les récepteurs GPS qui font partie du même système que les satellites.

En règle générale, on réalise ainsi un asservissement des horloges sur une (ou plusieurs) horloges de référence. Il faut souligner que les horloges les plus stables et les plus précises au monde sont des horloges atomiques.

Synchronisation en temps absolu
Une horloge définie comme la référence met à l'heure périodiquement les autres (esclaves). La relation n'est que dans ce seul sens.
Une horloge secondaire (esclave) est conçue pour recevoir un code de distribution d'heure émis par l'horloge-mère. La réception du code lui permet de rester synchronisée avec l'horloge-mère (c'est-à-dire d'être à la même heure pendant quelques moments avant que sa propre dérive ne la dérègle du temps exact).
Quelques minutes par jour de bonne réception du signal du maître, permettent d'assurer la synchronisation des esclaves.
Ce type de synchronisation qui est une distribution d'heure est en réalité plus perceptible dans la vie courante où certains domaines ont absolument besoin d'avoir un temps de référence :
 le contrôle aérien ;
 les échanges commerciaux ;
 les transactions journalisées de bases de données ;
 la diffusion de contenu multimédia en temps réel.

Dans les écoles, universités, services, entreprises, usines, banques, gares ou dans un aéroport il existe souvent plusieurs dizaines d'horloges, pointeuses, ordinateurs ou autres applications affichant le temps. Une distribution d'heure par un code adéquat permet de synchroniser tous ces appareils avec une ou plusieurs horloges de référence synchronisées aussi entre elles.
Une horloge-esclave synchronisée pourra servir de maître à toute autre horloge « à mettre à l'heure ». On peut ainsi observer une structure arborescente des horloges comme indiquée par le schéma ci-contre.

Une horloge de référence décode le signal d'une autre au-dessus d'elle dans la stratification pour en faire à la sortie un ou plusieurs codes de distribution d'heure et elle pilote ainsi un nombre important d'horloges secondaires. En cas d'absence du signal d'une horloge-mère supérieure dans l'arbre, une horloge-mère (de niveau immédiatement inférieur) continue à fonctionner de son propre chef (sur son propre quartz par exemple). Le premier maître dans toute la pyramide est aujourd'hui une horloge atomique.

Dans le domaine particulier des réseaux informatiques basés sur des horloges hétérogènes, la synchronisation d'horloges est basée sur les protocoles Time Protocol, Simple Network Time Protocol, Network Time Protocol ou Precision Time Protocol (PTP). Le Network Time Protocol (NTP) par exemple, est un protocole permettant de synchroniser les horloges des systèmes informatiques à travers un réseau de paquets, dont la latence est variable. Il est basé sur le principe illustré par le schéma ci-contre.

Synchronisation en temps logique
Toute horloge d'un système est prise comme horloge de référence dès lors que le dispositif qui l'intègre joue le rôle d'émetteur en direction d'autres équipements.
Ce mode est utilisé dans les systèmes répartis qui ne sont pas construits autour d'une horloge physique globale.

On pourrait parler ici d'horloges logiques voire de synchronisation relative.

En effet, l'émetteur insère son horloge dans le flux de données qu'il émet et le récepteur se charge de la récupérer pour se synchroniser sur le rythme de traitement de ces données c'est-à-dire pour se synchroniser avec l'horloge de l'émetteur et non pas forcément avec une horloge de référence absolue. Les traitements utilisés pour ce faire sont par exemple les boucles à verrouillage de phase dans les systèmes de télécommunications.

Toutefois cette méthode est généralement le résultat de sa propre combinaison avec la méthode décrite précédemment (§. précédent) c'est-à-dire que les horloges des circuits et dispositifs fondamentaux du système de traitement, sont synchronisés à partir d'une référence absolue mais les récepteurs utilisent particulièrement l'horloge intégrée aux flux qu'ils reçoivent pour se synchroniser sur le rythme de récupération des données.

With the alleviated expenses, increasing number of people are opting for delivery app jobs to help them meet their ends. Extra money is always welcomed and money is the reason why you started working at a delivery company. Freedom might be another close competitor. Technically, you set your own schedule but then in real; you pick up delivery from one corner of the city, drop it off to the other, drive in traffic, adhere to a schedule to enjoy peak business hours, rude customers, etc. In all this, you overwork, skip workout, cut family time, refrain from social gatherings and even skip meals. So, how can you, as a delivery driver, cope up with the frustrating and tiring days on the road?
Eating healthy and nutritious is the key to enhanced productivity. Delivery app jobs require people to work tirelessly entire day so that they don't regret not maximizing the time. The key is to keep yourself healthy by taking appropriate nutrition for the day when driving. Presented below are tips of quick actions that you can take to keep yourself healthy and active throughout the day.
The feeling of eating a whole stomach full meal will make you lazy and will hold you back from earning extra money. Delivery app jobs require a driver to sit and drive for hours. Don't let this discomfort hurdle your job and eat smaller portion of meals. This will also allow you to stay alert and keep up the energy levels.
When you choose to eat healthy meals, your blood sugar levels will remain consistent throughout the day. Energy drinks and frizzy drinks lead to sugar crash which results in feelings of fatigue. Only sugar from natural elements, such as seasonal fresh fruits, gives positive energy to the body.
During delivery app jobs, you often forget to drink water and keep on driving for long hours. Water helps to keep temperature normal, cushions joints, protects tissues and refreshes your mind. And all this can be done by just keeping a bottle along with you. Put a cucumber or lemon for added health benefits and great taste.
It is important that you take small break intervals during your work hours. Let that time serve as an opportunity to refuel yourself- have snacks, get hydrated or step out of the car to enjoy a stretch. Once you have taken a moment to yourself, you will feel much better and fresh.
Delivery app jobs can be tiring and might result in negative health outcomes for the driver. With few simple tips and nutritious food intake, drivers can ensure that their health remains in top-notch condition. Once you refresh your nutrition habits, you will see a drastic change in your alertness and attitude towards work. Moreover, you won't even feel that tired once you have taken a proper nutritious diet and kept yourself hydrated.

Radical Leftist Now Openly State, Vote For Biden Or We Will Declare War on You
Posted by Timothy Benton | Sep 9, 2020 | Election 2020, featured, News, Opinion, Political News | 0 |
For the last 3 years, I have said that the left was in such shock when Trump won in 2016 they were unable to act, they are not in such a state any longer, if Trump wins they are now working together to ensure that cities will burn and this nation will be shut down.
A unnamed source told Daily Beast:
"Occupy shit, hold space, and shut things down, not just on Election Day but for weeks," an unnamed source said in describing the coalition's effort, dubbed the "Democracy Defense Nerve Center.
The leftist group, convened by the relatively secret Fight Back Table (FBT), reportedly discussed their plans in secret during a Zoom virtual meeting.
Referring to the meeting, the Daily Beast reported:
Over the course of two hours, participants broached the question of what the progressive political ecosystem can functionally do in a series of election scenarios. They began charting out what it would take to stand up a multi-state communications arm to fight disinformation, a training program for nonviolent civil disobedience, and the underpinnings of what one official described as "mass public unrest."
RELATED: Make No Mistake, We Are In A Soft Civil War
An unnamed aide to the Biden campaign told the Daily Beast it is "aware of the concerns expressed by many of these [leftist] groups" that are "actively planning for all contingencies and scenarios."
The leftist groups are letting it be known that anything other then an overwhelming Biden victory will be declared illegitimate, this will kick off their violent protests.
The Daily Beast, a far-left liberal biased site, stated the leftist coalition is explicitly making preparations to deal with a situation where the "November election ends without a clear outcome or with a Joe Biden win that Donald Trump refuses to recognize," the Daily Beast noted.
"Inside the coalition, there is [a] dispute over whether Biden should even concede if he wins the popular vote but loses the Electoral College," the news outlet acknowledged.
This is where a problem is going to arise, unlike Clinton, who was willing to acknowledge that Trump won by electoral vote, the Democrats today are not willing to accept the legitimacy of the electoral college, it could be why they are pushing so hard to disband it.
In that event, the coalition may take a page from the election "war games" report by the vehemently anti-Trump Transition Integrity Project (TIP), which urges Biden to push Western states, namely California and Oregon, "to secede from the Union" unless their potential demands for reforms — abolishing the Electoral college, dividing California into five states, and statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C. — are met, the Daily Beast indicated.
We are seeing once more the true face of the Democrat party, the same face that was shown prior to the civil war, when they did not get the American people to vote the way they demanded they threw a fit and separated from the US.
TRENDING: United Nations Announces Who's to Blame for the COVID-19 Pandemic—And It's Not China
Much of the bases on this is the false claim that if Trump looses he will refuse to step down, but there is no indication that this would happen unless there was widespread fraud from the Democrats.
The left has been silently pushing this since the last election was done. The Washington Post spoke of it a year ago, asking if we were at a divide since 2016 that can't be fixed.
This is coming due to the rise of the radical left, who now are calling the shots. They are the ones in control of the press, the colleges, and are slowly moving out the more moderates, taking the ones that are left and forcing them to move further to towards the extremes are becoming a thing of the past in the next elections.
Activist leaders with groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa openly speak of how they are Marxist revolutionaries, their intent is not just the removal of Trump, but the removal of the whole democratic process.
With riots, looting, and killings, how much of a trigger will this take to turn this into a full scale civil war.

Hemingway's Paris
Published by Blanche R. Fernandez
Paris est toujours une bonne idee, said Sabrina. Even in the rain, even with the crowd — and yes, even with the dog poop — the idea of walking around Paris is always romantic. The Parisians know this, of course, which is why there is an overwhelming number of walking tours serving an overwhelming 89 million visitors to the City of Lights every year. We decided to go with The Original Paris Walks, which was founded in 1994 — long before walking tours were a thing — and who offer unique themed walks like The French Revolution, Paris Fashion Walk, Writers of the Left Bank, Medieval Latin Quarter, Village Montmartre and more. It was raining when we got to the Metro Cardinal Lemoine for the Hemingway's Paris walking tour, but as Paris Walks had promised, "tours are guaranteed, and run rain or shine," so off we went with our fabulous guide Jonathan, stopping at points of interest in the 5th arrondissement: Valery Larbaud's apartment, 71 rue du Cardinal Lemoine. While Larbaud was himself an accomplished French …
The Beauty and the Beast that is Venice
Venice is one of those cities you have to experience at least once in your lifetime. Everything you've already seen in the movies is true — it is ancient, vibrant, dreamy, brimming with art and history. And then you add 28 million tourists. Suddenly, you get a different picture of the place: hostile locals, shoulder-to-shoulder human traffic, made-in-China souvenirs, and a sinking World Heritage City. It becomes clear that Venice's unique beauty is also its curse, bringing in mass tourism that Venetians say has ruined their quality of life. Hence, the unsmiling, protesting remaining residents who don't really want you there. So why still go to Venice? 1. Because it is, without a doubt, the most architecturally fascinating city in the world. The capital of the Veneto region in northeastern Italy, Venice is a 1,200-year-old city that stands on millions of wooden trunks piled underwater to keep the city afloat. Romans escaping barbarian invaders in the 5th century sought refuge in the marshlands of Torcello, Jesolo and Malamocco, where they built settlements on 118 islands …
God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful.
