Q: MySQL Command Line Modifies Input on Backspace Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but searching didn't yield useful results.
This has happened to me when using the MySQL shell client on both Mac and Linux operating systems. When I type a command, pause for a second, then press Backspace a few times, the inputted text changes slightly so that there is an additional copy of the mysql> prompt immediately following the actual prompt.
Example:
mysql> select id, from
Then I type Backspace and I see something like this (I can't remember whether the copied prompt overlays the original query I was typing or not, and I can't seem to reproduce it):
mysql> mysql> id, from
Unfortunately, this problem seems to be random and I can't easily reproduce it, but it happens every so often under the circumstances I described. Not sure if it's a MySQL bug or a general shell bug, but I've never encountered something like that in anything other than MySQL.
Anyone else experience this or know a way to fix it?

Promoting Thailand's digital transformation and competitiveness
Promoting Thailand's digital transformation and competitiveness – unlocking THB2.5 trillion in annual economic value by 2030
Read the English report here
Read the Thai report here
Thailand's digital economy has grown significantly in recent years and is well-positioned for further growth. In 2020, the European Center for Digital Competitiveness ranked Thailand as the second most digitally competitive country, based on the progress made in developing its ecosystem and the shifting mindset towards digitization in the East Asia and the Pacific region. The Thailand Board of Investment estimated that the country's digital economy is poised for greater growth and is expected to contribute about 25 percent of Thailand's gross domestic product (GDP) by 2027, up from 17 percent in 2018. Propelled by the increasing Internet usage and growth in e-commerce, recent research by Google and Temasek has found that Thailand's Internet economy was worth USD18 billion in 2020, and could grow further at 25 percent annually to reach USD53 billion by 2025. The government has also identified the country's digital economy as one of the key levers of economic growth; its "Thailand 4.0" strategy aims to transform the country into an innovation and knowledge-based digital hub in Southeast Asia.
However, the country faces several barriers to unlocking its full digital transformation potential. Despite the significant growth opportunity for Thailand's digital economy, the country faces several challenges in realizing its full potential. These include a digital talent gap and relatively slow adoption of digital solutions by businesses. A 2020 study comparing digital adoption rates by businesses across countries found that only 33 percent of businesses in Thailand were embracing digital transformation and planning to invest for the future, as compared to the global average of 59 percent. The study attributed this to the lack of digital skills and tech know-how. The low digital adoption rate of businesses in Thailand has also been attributed to a shortage of tech graduates and the perceived high cost of investing in technology infrastructure such as fifth-generation (5G) networks.
AlphaBeta's latest report (commissioned by Google) examines the economic significance of digital technologies in Thailand, especially in non-technology sectors. This study finds that if leveraged fully by 2030, digital technologies could create up to THB2.5 trillion (USD79.5 billion) in annual economic value in Thailand.
Key messages from the research include:
There is a significant economic prize attached to accelerating Thailand's digital transformation. If fully leveraged by 2030, digital technologies could create up to THB2.5 trillion (USD79.5 billion) in annual economic value. This is equivalent to about 16 percent of the country's GDP in 2020. Although Greater Bangkok (i.e., Bangkok and vicinities, including Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, Samut Sakhon, Nakhon Pathom and Nonthaburi) constitutes only slightly more than one percent of Thailand's overall land area, 40 percent of the projected digital opportunity could go to this largely urbanized region in 2030 – suggesting a geographic digital divide that is important to bridge. Of the total digital opportunity, a substantial 65 percent could be driven by technologies that help businesses and workers mitigate the economic impacts of COVID-19. Beyond managing the immediate impacts of the pandemic, digital transformation will also be important to boost resilience in the post-pandemic future – the use of online e-commerce platforms, for example, will be crucial to boosting Thailand's heavily pandemic-impacted export sector.
There are three areas of action required for Thailand to fully capture its digital opportunity: (i) lower barriers to digital adoption by businesses; (ii) enhance digital skills training and education, and (iii) develop a conducive environment for digital trade. While a range of policies is already introduced to accelerate digital transformation such as the "Net Pracharat" program, there is scope for Thailand to consider further actions. These include providing financial and advisory support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) lacking in digital expertise, developing support programs incentivizing firms and individuals to continue upskilling in highly demanded digital skills, and participating in multilateral digital trade agreements to establish digital trade rules (e.g., "Digital Economy Partnership Agreement" signed between Singapore, New Zealand and Chile to facilitate cross-border data flows).
Through its programs and products, Google has been instrumental in advancing Thailand's digital transformation. Google has contributed to each of the three areas of action. By introducing infrastructure such as Google Cloud and online digital marketing resources such as "Think with Google", Google enables businesses to adopt advanced digital tools and leverage data-driven insights to improve their services. Through programs such as "Saphan Digital" and "Skillshop", Google is supporting the development of a digitally skilled workforce. "Google for Startups Accelerator: Southeast Asia" enables start-ups in Thailand to access its global network of industry partners to expand internationally. By establishing the "Framework for Responsible Data Protection Regulation", Google is promoting the protection and privacy of data and information to facilitate cross-border data flows. The company also supports benefits to businesses and consumers. Businesses and consumers in Thailand are estimated to derive total annual economic benefits from Google's products worth THB144.5 billion (USD4.8 billion) and THB378.7 billion (USD12.7 billion), respectively. Google also supports benefits to the wider society in Thailand. By enabling businesses to unlock new revenue streams and expand their businesses through the use of Google Ads, AdSense, and YouTube, Google indirectly supports over 63,000 jobs in Thailand. Furthermore, the Android operating system also supports more than 58,000 jobs in Thailand's economy.

The Way Through the Woods – a unique event happening on Wednesday 20th March exploring and discussing the role that art can play in bringing people into forests, woodlands, and other natural settings.
The Way Through the Woods addresses the benefits to well-being that engagement with nature represents and explores the role that art – and particularly mindful, contemplative art – can play in bringing people into forests, woodlands, and other natural settings.
It will bring together artists, forestry & woodland organisations, and mental health professionals with the aim of inspiring change, sparking discussion and collaboration, and promoting activity at the rich nexus of arts, nature, and well-being.
The event will take place at Hardcastle Crags, the beautiful National Trust protected wooded valley in the heart of the Yorkshire Pennines. The area boasts 160 hectares of unspoilt woodland and more than 15 miles of footpaths. At its heart is Gibson Mill, where we will be based for the day, a lovely 19th century mill reflecting the story of the site's industrial heritage.
The Way Through the Woods is being hosted by the University of Huddersfield's Mindfulness and Performance Project in partnership with The National Trust.
We would be delighted if you would consider joining us from 9.45am – 3.30pm on Wednesday 20th March 2019.

Warning to Canadian Nationalists: Don't Be Played
In case you haven't heard, Canada has a border crisis on its hands. To all but the wilfully blind, the deceitful deniers and the dangerously delusional, it is blatantly evident that growing numbers of migrants are deliberately and flagrantly in contravention of Canadian border law and international treaties.

Propaganda is a very big problem in the war in Syria - for both sides
Wed, 2017-12-13 22:15 — Judith Bello
Propaganda is how they got people to go along with the so called 'revolution' in the first place.
What if armed men came to town and the cable TV news stations broadcast that there is a revolution and if you want a place in the new society you have to join now? What if you were poor and living in the ghetto when the announcement arrived and they told you that this was your chance to participate in the government and to become empowered in society? Then, armed checkpoints were set up everywhere, some operated by local people who might be armed and trigger happy, but at least they recognize you; others by strangers who are part of the national army, and they aren't in a good mood. Both sides believe that some of their members have been killed by the other for no good reason and they are angry. You weren't at the protests so you don't really know what happened. You've seen some very polarized 'news' on TV. and a call to battle. What do you do now?

Quirky things in Greece these days - a politically incorrect diary on austerity, yachts and immigrants
Thu, 2017-03-23 01:07 — DavidZero
Neighbours squabbling over the back fence. The english language NYT newspaper reports sham dogfights daily between Greek Mirage fighters and Turkish F-15s. A NATO wargame and cyber-wargame around Lesbos was cancelled due to a Greek-Turkey squabble. Turkey still claims all the Aegean islands slap-bang up against their coast. No-one remarks on the irony of 50,000 muslim economic migrants camped up on Lesbos and Samos. "Inhuman racist treatment" scream the UN & liberal left cosmopolitans. But there is silence on the million or more criminal invaders, aka undocumented aliens, camped up in Turkey, in far worse conditions. My. Refugees in Turkey don't even have access to a lawyer! The shame of it!

The little door to Australia is closing but the big door is still wide open
"The door to Australia is closing" says Nick McKim of the Australian Greens. Many people reading this might be alarmed, wondering how their relatives overseas can visit them in future. But no, this heading is misleading. It is only the little door at which asylum seekers arriving by boat appear. The big door to Australia is still wide open for others.

Syrian President blames some Western leaders for Europe's terrorism and refugee problems
Damascus, SANA – President Bashar al-Assad blamed some Western leaders for the terrorism and refugee problems facing Europe.
During a meeting on Sunday with the visiting delegation of the European Parliament headed by Vice-President of the Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs Javier Couso, the President discussed the situation in Syria, the terrorist war waged on it and the growing destructive impacts of the spread of terror to world regions.
President al-Assad said it is normal that what is happening in Syria and the Arab region would greatly affect Europe given the geographical vicinity of the two regions and the cross-cultural communication.

Ignorance and evasion in Europe's migration crisis

Ignorance and evasion in Europe's migration crisis. Migration is part of our collective history, but Europe's political leaders are still failing completely to address widespread public concern over the flood of migrants now storming Europe's borders. The consequences of these pressures will have profound impacts.

Is 'POPULATION' a dirty word in the sustainability movement in Australia?
Wed, 2016-02-10 23:25 — Michael Bayliss
Population is a big issue happening in the world today, with our numbers having increased massively from around 1 billion in 1850 to what now looks like 11 billion at the end of the century. Right now, the numbers of the world's poor increase by 80 million each year and the number of unwanted pregnancies are 210 million per annum. Considering that human population predicts 88% of impact to other animal and plant species (according to the International Union for the Conversation of Nature) human population remains a huge, yet very controversial concern.

UN rules: "Julian Assange arbitrarily detained by Sweden and the UK, UN expert panel finds"
Inside is the text of the public statement issued by the UN expert panel on Arbitrary Detention, which you will not find in most mainstream publications, which are seeking to obfuscate the UN opinion and its importance, with their own opinions. Julian Assange is a Victorian-born Australian citizen and asylum-seeker, recognised as a refugee by the UN. The Ecuadorian Embassy in London granted him refugee status, but the UK government stopped him from going to Ecuador by taking his passport and surrounding the embassy with police, day and night. What did Assange do? Assange famously published, on his Wikileaks, authentic film of US soldiers hunting down civilians with helicopters and machine guns as if they were in a video game.

Good News! Reconciliation, peace and return home of Syrian refugees in two Syrian locations due to Syrian Government efforts
Videos inside: These films are dated 21 January 2016. They show successful attempts by the Syrian government to make Syria safe again. The government has been able to reconcile with 'rebel groups' that recognise that war is tearing their country apart. Refugee activists please take note. Nearly the biggest problem that Syrians continue to face is the refusal by US-NATO and its allies, such as Australia, to recognise that we must all work with the Syrian Government to make Syria safe. Because of these evil US-NATO policies, it is most unlikely that these positive developments will be promoted in the Australian media, if they are transmitted at all. So, please send these films round to everyone you know, to help end this war and place pressure on western governments to stop intervening.

The Refugee Crisis will be the demise of Europe
Previously published (3/11/15)) on Russia Insider
An anonymous correspondent of ClubOrlov blogspot Alex claims that the current influx of refugees and migrants into Germany and other north European countries looks like a well organized endeavour. Neither politicians, nor society are prepared to cope with the crisis that may eventually lead to the disintegration of Europe as we had known it for millennia.

Spike in Social media just prior to refugee "crisis" inviting people to Germany - Russian PhD study
It seems that the current mass migration invasion of Germany was organised from the US and the UK, via tweets. A Russian group have analyzed net traffic to ascertain why the mass migration crisis to the EU started and why now. Apparently there were large spikes in social media just before the current big migrations to Europe took off and thousands of men packed and left for the EU. The Russians also anaylzed the content of tweets. Their analysis points to a social media driven event, a call, to come to the EU. There were, in fact, BOTs, that tweeted and re-tweeted. Most bot servers emanated from the USA and the UK, inviting people to Germany.

With 'friends' like ABC's Liz Jackson, Syria does not need enemies to keep those refugees flowing
Sat, 2015-09-12 12:38 — david macilwain
As has been quite obvious to most of us, the motivation and intention of the whole Western campaign in the Middle East remains the removal of Assad and the subsequent moves against Iran and Russia. IS is a Trojan horse, and the Great Refugee Crisis is the most egregious false flag yet devised to dupe the Western support base of the criminals in power.
Australia's entry into the war on Syria has passed under our radar, thanks to manipulation of the refugee supporters – who are the main group who would be protesting against another US war in the M/E. My local paper published a letter today, (the third on this page) which explains for me – and probably almost me only – 'no war in my name'.
But at the same time there was this report on the ABC from longtime 'Friend of Syria' Liz Jackson, interviewing former ambassador Ross Burns.:-

Why are there so many displaced people? Because US/NATO is destroying their economies and sponsoring terror
Below is a quote from Obama before he became president, counselling a completely opposite foreign policy to the warmongering one he now heads.[1] He calls for cooperation with Russia, a vigorous enforcement of nuclear non-proliferation, shutting down of the financial networks that support terrorism, pressure on the Saudis and Egyptians to stop oppressing their own people, and for an energy policy alternative to Big Oil's. Addressing the Bush government of eight years ago, he recognised the inflammatory and unfair process set in train by the United States in the Middle East. Yet now he pursues the same policy even more aggressively and dishonestly than Bush. He effectively heads a global coalition of war-criminals. Australia is a stooge in that coalition and so is the ABC, CBC, BBC, European Press, notably French mainstream press, and the Murdoch and Fairfax Press in Australia. Currently their greatest war-crime is to fail to reveal that President Bashar al-Assad is not an 'unelected dictator' but won overwhelmingly in a fair election in 2014 and currently offers protection to his people, but the Western allies and their corrupt Middle Eastern stooges - Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey - are driving the exodus from the Middle East by sponsoring terror-militia.

Full unedited video of President al-Assad's interview by Charlie Rose of 60 Minutes (31/3/15).
Damascus, SANA – President Bashar al-Assad described in an interview with the Swedish Expressen Newspaper the outcomes of Moscow talks as a breakthrough and said that the UN envoy's Aleppo plan, which is supported by the government, was spoiled by external intervention, renewing his warning that the terrorism imported to Syria will "bite" its backers whenever it has the chance. He also called on Sweden to influence the EU to lift the economic sanctions imposed on the Syrian people. President Assad also answers (yet again) re-posed questions about chemical weapons and talks about contradictions in US policy and treatment of terrorism since 9-11. The following is part of the full text of the interview, which was first published by Al-Masdar News on April 17, 2015.

ABC remembers Malcolm Fraser and confuses refugees, immigration and population growth management (again)
The ABC reported today:
Mr Fraser — Australia's 22nd prime minister — was born into a wealthy pastoral family in 1930 and first entered Parliament in 1955 as its youngest MP. He spent nearly 20 years as a backbencher and in the ministry. He became opposition leader in 1975, facing off against Gough Whitlam and becoming prime minister in the wake of Mr Whitlam's dismissal.
From his first days in politics, Mr Fraser was an advocate of immigration as a means of boosting the population.
As a minister in the Gorton government, he became the first federal politician to use the word "multiculturalism" — an historic break from the Anglocentric past of his own party. Mr Fraser's multicultural conviction found shape in immigration policy in the post-Vietnam war push to bring refugees from mainland South East Asia to Australia.
"I believe we had a moral and ethical obligation," Mr Fraser later said. "If we had taken polls ... I think people would have voted 80, 90 per cent against us but we explained the reasons for it.

Obama's ISIS project is nothing but a pretext to murder and destroy Syrian society
Tue, 2015-02-17 17:23 — Denis G. Rancourt
The US-Empire's present preeminent position of brutal global thug is a self-evident truth based on hard facts regarding the magnitudes of death and destruction; counted in millions of lives, millions of refugees, and nation-wide obliterations of civil infrastructure, not to mention annihilations of national and civil institutions. US crimes do not diminish the importance of injustices perpetrated by non-aligned regimes, but there is an obvious asymmetry of magnitudes that simply cannot be denied.

Development caused overpopulation in Ethiopia
There is now a long record of interventions in foreign countries that have been followed by floods of refugees. For Ethiopia modern development began at the end of the 19th century. In a recently recirculated 2008 article, Irish journalist, Kevin Myers wrote despairingly of Ethiopia's overpopulation and the hopelessness of giving more aid. "By 2050, the population of Ethiopia will be 177 million; the equivalent of France, Germany and Benelux today, but located on the parched and increasingly Protein-free wastelands of the Great Rift Valley." Myers grimly anticipates a massive overflow of emigrants with poorly nourished brains to Ireland, to America, to Australia.[1] So, why is Ethiopia in such a mess? Was it always thus?

Syrian refugees keen to return to Syria, helped by Mother Agnes Mariam
It is good to hear that Syrian refugees are coming back home to Syria. Before the present conflicts, Syria was host to many refugees from other countries, including Iraq, as a result of foreign interference in the region. Although the government-held regions are safe, new refugees were created in 'rebel' occupied areas of Syria, where atrocities seem to have known absolutely no bounds. But Syrians want to come back to Syria, and most Syrians want to keep the government, as was shown by the massive voting in favour of Bashar Al Assad in the recent elections, by expatriates and Syrians in Syria. Mother Agnes Mariam, who has remained a firm and identifyable force for good in the awful Syrian conflicts, heads the Mussalaha Reconciliation Initiative in Syria (of which there is an Australian branch). One of their main messages is to say that foreign powers need to stop interfering in the Syrian conflicts because they are making it worse - all having their own agendas.

March in March: Enough Deception and Manipulation
Fri, 2014-03-14 14:38 — Matthew Mitchell
March in March 1 [Note from candobetter.editor] Abbott took government by playing on the fears of Australians, supported by the Murdoch press. Fears that have been built up and sustained through systems of secrecy, lies and deception. This is the emerging pattern of westernised governments and corporations across the globe. And these techniques depend upon violence, fear and coercion. All of which were evident in the Manus Island riots and killing, despite attempts to demonise the victims (Howard pulled a similar trick with Tampa).

Refugees - Living in a media Matrix

The media's treatment of the recent tragedy of migrants drowning off the Italian island of Lampedusa was predictable. Whenever a local population—whether it be in Greece, Italy, or elsewhere—is inundated with a flood of refugees, a standard news template is applied.
The formula is to convert a broad social calamity into a heart-rending human-interest story that will provoke an emotional response trumping any sober analysis. The intended message is clear. Any number of refugees have an unreserved right to be accommodated by the host society, at whatever the cost.

It ain't easy being Green - by Peter Cock
The Greens are at the crossroads as a political party — should they focus on the wider concerns of the electorate, or should they stick to environmentalism? For instance, the humanitarian crying out for the suffering of refugees needs to be focused on what drives people to become refugees, like our engagement in unjust wars, environmental damage and over-population. Dr Peter Cock says they need to stay green. [Comment from Candobetter.net editor: Some of us here think the Greens need to rebrand if they don't become green, but we appreciate the discussion in this article, which targets our concerns.]

Australians for Syria protest in Sydney against foreign intervention
This is a fascinating video of a huge protest in Sydney on 5 August 2012 and we have put up a video of it with a number of interesting interviews from marchers, with comments from what they think of the Bashar Assad Government to how they don't like the Australian Greens policy on this matter and believe that we are risking World War Three by backing intervention in Syria. There is also some background on how Syria has been the long-term host one of the largest refugee populations in the world, which makes you wonder why it doesn't receive more support from Greens and Refugee activists. It must seem ironic that some candobetter.net EcoMalthusians are more inclined to give Syria that recognition! Please let us know if you have views on the democratic status of the Syrian government; we find it hard to judge. All comments and greetings welcome.

Withdraw from the UN Refugee Convention
Sun, 2012-07-01 10:19 — nimby
Both sides of parliament are saying that the problem is asylum seekers dying at sea as they attempt to reach Australia. Other groups claim that we are "racist" and "xenophobic" for being heartless, and that we have the capacity for an open-door approach of the Greens. There are probably millions, if not billions of impoverished, persecuted peoples who see Australia as a "rich" country and an ideal soft target for resettlement. This is despite the pressure on jobs, housing, infrastructure, food security and environmental concerns. If we need to make a deal with Malaysia, or Indonesia, we should be free to do so. The solution is to discard our alliance with the UN Refugee Convention.

Q: Area of curves that intersect at more than two points I'm trying to set up a definite integral but the examples shown in my textbook and the way that my textbook solved the problem doesn't match.
The problem I'm trying to solve is $y_1= 3(x^3-x)$ and $y_2 = 0$.
The way that the textbook solved this problem looks like this:

$ A = 2\int_{-1}^0 3(x^3-x)dx = 6\int_{-1}^0 (x^3-x)dx$ or $-6\int_0^1(x^3-x)dx$

Where I'm confused is where did they get the 2 that is in front of $\int_{-1}^0$?
The textbooks shows an example that solves area of $f(x)=3x^3-x^2-10x$ and $g(x)=-x^2+2x$ like so:

$A = \int_{-2}^0[f(x)-g(x)]dx + \int_0^2[g(x)-f(x)]dx$

But the way they setup the definite integral in the example doesn't seem to be same as the problem. Could someone elaborate why is that? And if possible in plain English would great.

A: Draw the graph of $y=f(x)=x^3-x$, or have software do it for you.  This is very important, for if you don't what is written below will be "just words."
Note that $f(-x)=-f(x)$ for all $x$. That means that the graph for $x$ negative is the graph for positive $x$, rotated through $180^\circ$, or equivalently reflected in a point mirror at the origin. The computation you quoted takes advantage of the symmetry.
From $x=-1$ to $x=0$, our function $f(x)$ is positive, the curve is above the $x$-axis. From $0$ to $1$, we have $f(x)\le 0$. So to find the total area of the region caught between the curve and the $x$-axis, we find the area of the chunk from $-1$ to $0$, and double.
Another way of doing it is to note that between $-1$ and $0$, $f(x)$ is above the $x$-axis, and from $0$ to $1$ it is below. So the total area is
$$\int_{-1}^0 \left((x-x^3)-0\right)\,dx + \int_{0}^1 \left(0-(x-x^3)\right)\,dx.$$
The two integrals are equal, so we might as well only compute one of them and double the result.

Biofamous — October 19, 2017 in Actress 13 Likes 564 Views
Sophie Turner is an established actress who rose to fame after her debut as 'Sansa Stark' on the HBO fantasy television series Game of Thrones. In 2012, she was nominated for the Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Series as Supporting Young Actress for her performance as Sansa, alongside her on-screen sister, Maisie Williams. She has been awarded many times throughout her life for her TV series as well as for her films. Her new movie X-Men Apocalypse was also able to win some popular awards including Kids Choice Award.
Date of Birth 21 February 1996
Family Name Turner
Birth Place England
Birth Sign Leo
Family Background
She is the daughter of Sally Turner, a nursery school teacher, and Andrew Turner, who works for a pallet distribution company. Although she belongs from a normal family background she has been able to conquer everything at this age because of her own talent and beauty. Beauty with brain actress Sophies was one of the most popular child artists who now has been successful to become a well-known celebrity.
Similarly, she made her debut on the big screen in the movie "Another Me". And then she acted in the movie "The Thirteen Tale". In an interview with Porter, Turner said that she believed her social media following was responsible for her successful casting in an unnamed project rather than her abilities as an actress. She said in the interview "it was me and another girl who is a far better actress than I am, far better, but I had the followers, so I got the job.
That clearly want to address that she believes herself one of the luckiest people but we being an audience surely can feel that she is not popular because of her luck but she is popular because of her hard work and dedication towards what she is doing today.
Affairs And Relationships
Turner was first spotted with Joe Jonas in late November of 2016. In October 2017, Turner announced her engagement to Jonas on Instagram. They share a cute Siberian Husky pup together named Porky Basquiat. Both the heaven-born couple never spoke a word in regards of their bond in public until the major event; their engagement. The loving couple is supporting to each other and they support each other personally and professionally. Being a famous singer and actor, Joe Jonas started loving this beautiful actress because of their humbleness and cuteness towards each other.
They are noticed in many of the places being together enjoying the moments. As they have officially spoken about their relationship, we can hope that this loving couple will stay longer as they are today. Being one of the most romantic couplcouplesy need to prove others that they are made for each others and will stay together forever.

Kane Brown Embraces His Inner George Strait With His Cover Of "Check Yes Or No"
In 2016, country star Kane Brown decided to take on George Strait's iconic "Check Yes or No" for the Forever Country Cover Series in part of the 50th anniversary of the CMA Awards. Brown gave the timeless song his fresh and young perspective and effortlessly displayed his pure talent with his down-home twang and signature deep sultry southern vocals.
But this wasn't the first time Kane Brown covered the song – in fact, the song is being credited for the country superstar's success. Just like any other aspiring singer, Brown started uploading videos of his covers of songs by Alan Jackson, Lee Brice, and other singers on his social media, hoping for a few hundred views.
Luck came to Brown in 2015 when his cover of "Check Yes or No" went viral and garnered over seven million views. Shortly after, he managed to grow a massive social media presence, reaching more than a million number of followers on Facebook that led to his first single release.
Fast forward to today, Brown is now one of the brightest rising stars in Nashville, headlining his own tour and further carving his name as one of the hottest young artists in country music.
The Song That Changed Kane Brown's Career
Written by Danny Wells and Dana Hunt Black, "Check Yes or No" was released by George Strait in 1995 as the lead single off his first box set album Strait Out of the Box. The song quickly peaked at No. 1 on the country charts, both in Canada and the United States, where it stayed on top for four consecutive weeks.
The song tells the romantic tale of two children who fell in love during their childhood. The little girl, whose name was Emmylou Hayes, wrote the boy a little note asking him if he loves her. She then told him to reveal his feelings by checking "yes" or "no."
As the song goes on, the two kids have grown up, gotten married, and started a life together. The man in the song mused how everything started with just a little note.
"Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend? And if you do. Well, then don't be afraid to take me by the hand. If you want to, I think this is how love goes. Check "yes" or "no," the song goes.
Isn't it one of the most endearing love stories in the history of country music? Tune in and watch Kane Brown's breathtaking performance of "Check Yes or No" in the video below.

'Tropical Trump' Jair Bolsonaro elected
Brazil President Elect Jair Bolsonaro
Former army captain Jair Bolsonaro was elected president of Brazil on Sunday, promising a fundamental change in direction for the giant Latin American country, rejecting by wide margins Leftists' lies, duplicity and corruption.
Bolsonaro managed to tap voters' deep anger over crime and economic malaise.
Official results gave the president-elect 55.13 percent of the vote in the run-off election, to 44.87 for leftist opponent Fernando Haddad, with 99.99 percent of the ballots counted according to AFP/Yahoo.
Bolsonaro, 63, will assume office January 1 and pledged, "We will change Brazil's destiny together." His victory speech was broadcast live on Facebook, the platform he has used to campaign since an attacker stabbed him in the stomach at a rally on September 6.
Sitting next to his wife and wearing a dark blazer, the longtime congressman delivered his speech in a stern voice. He swore to govern "following the Bible and the constitution," and said: "We cannot continue flirting with socialism, communism, populism and the extremism of the left."
But he promised to defend "the constitution, democracy and freedom," fending off opponents' warnings he would try to veer toward authoritarianism.
Thousands of supporters flooded the streets outside his home in Rio de Janeiro, waving Brazilian flags and lighting up the sky with fireworks.
"All these people here are outraged, upset about corruption and crime, and we are with Bolsonaro. The people have spoken. For the first time I feel represented," said Andre Luiz Lobo, 38, a businessman who — not incidentally, given the accusations of racism against his candidate — is black.
On the other side, the reaction was despair — and a defiant vow to resist. Sound familiar?
Haddad, a former Sao Paulo mayor, said he would fight to "defend the freedoms of those 45 million people" who voted for him, after Bolsonaro vowed late in the campaign to "cleanse" Brazil of leftist "reds." Aides said Haddad, 55, had not called Bolsonaro to congratulate him.
President Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil, also faces hysterical leftists
"Fascists!" shouted tearful supporters at the headquarters of Haddad's Workers' Party in Sao Paulo. "I'm surprised Brazilians would vote for hate, for guns," said Flavia Castelhanos, 31, after wiping away her tears, wearing a pin that said "Not him" – opponents' rallying cry against Bolsonaro.
The environmental group Amazon Watch warned Bolsonaro — who has vowed not to let conservation programs interfere with agro-industry — "spells disaster for the Brazilian Amazon." Click here for more from Yahoo.com.

Bernd Friedrich (* 12. November 1963 in Neuwied) ist ein ehemaliger deutscher Profiboxer und Deutscher Meister im Schwergewicht.

Laufbahn
Der frühere Kraftsportler Friedrich begann erst im Alter von 26 Jahren mit dem Boxen. Als Amateur boxte er für die Staffeln der TuS Rot-Weiß Koblenz und CSC Frankfurt. Nach zwei Jahren wechselte er zu den Profis. In seinem Debütkampf traf er auf Mario Schießer und unterlag gegen den Berliner über vier Runden nach Punkten.

Mit fünf aufeinanderfolgenden vorzeitigen Siegen in den nächsten Kämpfen empfahl er sich für den am 19. September 1992 stattfindenden Kampf gegen Axel Schulz um die vakante Deutsche Meisterschaft. Trotz ansprechender Leistung musste sich Friedrich dem deutlich schnelleren und boxerisch erfahreneren Schulz nach Punkten geschlagen geben. Dennoch wurde der Promoter Wilfried Sauerland auf ihn aufmerksam und nahm ihn 1993 unter Vertrag.

Nach Siegen gegen Aufbaugegner durfte er im Oktober 1993 gegen Christian Honhold erneut um den mittlerweile wieder vakanten nationalen Meistertitel boxen. Schon in der ersten Runde der Auseinandersetzung öffnete sich bei Honhold nach einem unabsichtlichen Zusammenstoß der Köpfe eine tiefe Platzwunde, die zum frühen Abbruch des Kampfes führte. Friedrich wurde zum Sieger durch technischen KO und zum neuen Deutschen Meister erklärt.

Den nächsten Rückschlag gab es allerdings schon im nächsten Kampf, als er gegen den Briten Roger McKenzie durch technischen KO in der zweiten Runde verlor. Im Mai 1994 kam es dann in Koblenz zum Rückkampf mit Honhold, Friedrich unterlag über zehn Runden nach Punkten und musste den Deutschen Meistertitel abgeben.

Am 25. März 1995 kam es zu einem Duell mit dem mittlerweile fast 42-jährigen, früheren WBA-Weltmeister James "Bonecrusher" Smith, das Friedrich nur knapp und umstritten nach Punkten verlor. Friedrich fühlte sich dabei von seinem Promoter hintergangen und trennte sich wenig später vom Sauerland-Stall. 1996 boxte er schließlich zum vierten Mal um die Deutsche Meisterschaft. Titelverteidiger war sein Debütgegner Mario Schießer und auch in der zweiten Begegnung unterlag er nach Punkten. In dem verbissen geführten Kampf kassierten beide so viele schwere Treffer, dass der BDB daraufhin beide mit einer mehrmonatigen Schutzsperre belegte.

Im Mai 1997 kam es dann zum dritten Aufeinandertreffen mit Schießer, diesmal im Kampf um die Internationale Deutsche Meisterschaft. Doch auch diesmal konnte sich Friedrich nicht durchsetzen, in der letzten Runde ging er gar KO. Nach drei weiteren Kämpfen gegen Aufbaugegner, gegen die er aber nicht mehr überzeugen konnte, beendete Friedrich 1998 schließlich seine Karriere.

Q: 500 server error when saving Symfony entity I need to couple my application with its database. To do this, I've generated an entity with doctrine:generate:entity. It's produced an entity with appropriate annotations for mapping. I've also used doctrine:schema:update --force to actually create the schema on the database server, which I can confirm it has done with phpMyAdmin.
In my controller I'm trying to simply insert a row like so:
public function testAction() {
    $file = new File();
    $file->setTest('A Foo Bar');

    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
    $em->persist($file);
    $em->flush();

    return new JsonResponse(array('foo' => 'bar'));
}

The entity only has one field called test which is string and of length 255. When I request this URL through an AJAX request in my application, it throws back a very uninformative 500 Internal Server Error:

Oops! An Error Occurred
The server returned a "500 Internal Server Error".
Something is broken. Please e-mail us at [email] and let us know what you were doing when this error occurred. We will fix it as soon
  as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

The PHP error logs also don't have any error information. This controller action does work if I remove the database manipulation stuff. The application is also running in the dev environment.
Is there any way I can get a more descriptive error message to at least tell me what's wrong?

A: This is a default error page that you get in production. You can customize it - http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/controller/error_pages.html
You can catch and read an error creating ExceptionListener - http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/event_dispatcher/event_listener.html
Also you can switch to dev environment to show error text and log.
If you just want dev logs but prod environment, you can copy contents of monolog section app/config/config_dev.yml to app/config/config_prod.yml.

A: If anyone here comes across this issue and is lost, the cause in my case was that I had specified a new @ORM\ManyToOne relationship and was persisting instead of merging the entity.
This in the past has returned a valid error, but in this case the php script was not handling it at all.

The Southern Gas Corridor project will be implemented according to the schedule and will be completed in 2019, said Azerbaijan's Energy Minister Natig Aliyev in an interview with Italy's AGI news agency.
"We have to obtain a lot of permits and construction licenses," added the minister.
Aliyev also noted that gas reserves of Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz field, which is the main source for the Southern Gas Corridor, are enough for both domestic consumption and for exports. Europe is the most reliable market for Azerbaijani gas, said the minister, adding that the European Commission, in turn, wants to diversify the sources and routes of gas supply.
He also said the Southern Gas Corridor will create about 40,000 jobs. Ten billion cubic meters of gas will be transported via the Southern Gas Corridor annually, and the supply will increase to 16 billion cubic meters, six billion cubic meters of which will be supplied to Turkey, said Aliyev. He noted that Azerbaijan has enough promising gas fields along with the Shah Deniz field.
The Southern Gas Corridor is one of the priority energy projects for the EU. It envisages the transportation of 10 billion cubic meters of Azerbaijani gas from the Caspian Sea region to the European countries through Georgia and Turkey. At the initial stage, the gas to be produced as part of the Stage 2 of development of Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz field is considered as the main source for the Southern Gas Corridor project. Other sources can also connect to this project at a later stage.
As part of the Stage 2 of the Shah Deniz development, the gas will be exported to Turkey and European markets by expanding the South Caucasus Pipeline and the construction of Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline and Trans-Adriatic Pipeline.

Welcome to Hat Attack #25, which means that I've been sharing my love for headwear on the first of every month on Style Crone for over two years. Over that period of time I haven't touched on the category of casual hats. The headwear that I wear most frequently as I go about my days! I never leave the house without headwear, and today I'm featuring a structured straw cap by Diane Harty Millinery HERE of Frisco, Colorado. She can do headwear across the millinery continuum, as featured HERE on Hat Attack in July of 2014. Diane has the talent to take it from fascinator/headpiece to casual and beyond!
This pale blue cap with creased detail on the crown and black visor and trim has been one of my summertime favorites. I was happy to see Diane Harty at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival in Denver this July, and I have been wearing this purchased piece of art about town ever since. I love its sporty, casual vibe!
A special thank you to all who have participated in Hat Attack over the past two years. I appreciate your love of headwear and always look forward to your millinery delights and your creativity!
Please display your hat, headwrap, headpiece, fascinator, hair flower, headband or other adornment for your head that you adore, give The SC an AUGUST HAT ATTACK and kindly link to Style Crone somewhere in your post. Can't wait to see the beautiful contributions that you share throughout the next week. Participation will be open through Friday, August 7th.
I had to choose this hat, as it reminds me of the creasing in your wonderful hat.
You look great in casual and dressy. This hat is such a cool mix of textures and styles. I would be stealing it off your head for a try!
How lucky you are to have such a talented milliner on your doorstop, this structured cap is a great little number. Thank you so much for hosting Hat Attack and giving all of us hat lovers a chance to get together.
As always perfect Judith. And as always for these past two years I sigh because I don't wear hats.
You just look better and better, Judith!
Hi Judith, thanks for sharing. I am still searching for hats to wear with glasses. Been exploring head wraps and a few other things. it is a challenge.
You look fantastic — love the hat!! Who designed your denim jacket? It's a great cut and color.
This sailor cap is absolutely adorable. love it and I would wera it right away!
Such a jaunty little cap – it suits the casual vibe of a denim jacket perfectly!
Curtise had the perfect description for the cap – it is wonderfully jaunty!! I don't think there is any style of hat that doesn't suit you. Love the look of the denim jacket with the collar up.
Two years since the first Hat Attack? Where has the time gone??
Oh Judith! I've been holding back waiting for the hat goddess to attack me – and I keep scaring her away, and now there's only one hour left to post. Gaaa! I don't think I'll make it.
But thank you for hosting this party again so I can at least indulge in the generosity of the other fabulous women sharing here, with you at the front of the parade in your gorgeous sporty cap. I just love it! I love how you've mixed it up with this casual piece. The hat goes perfectly with your denim jacket – the cut of it is beautiful. Great shots by Daniel too!

This statement encourages the writer of this thesis to do a research in the language of Stephen Crane especially in his lexical items in his famous novel The Red Badge of. Courage. The writer is tempted to know the lexical items which reveal the three central themes of the novel. Then, she also wants to know whether the most dominant theme of the novel constituted by a number of lexical items is in the greatest percentage or not. She uses semantics point of view to do her research in this thesis. She thinks that semantics is the most suitable approach because in this research, the writer of this thesis deals with the meaning of lexical items in relation with the three central themes of the novel. The semantic theory that is used by the writer to anlyze the data are collocational theory and lexical semantic relatedness theory, namely hyponymy and synonymy. Through this objective research, the writer finds out that all the central themes of The Red Badge of Courage are consituted by a number of lexical items although they are not in the same proportion. Beside that, this research has also proved that the most dominant theme of a novel is not always constituted by a number of lexical items in the greatest percentage.

Football: Fanger takes the reins at Hidden Valley
Mike Fanger moves south for his fifth head coaching job after spending the last two years as the offensive coordinator at Tigard

Mike Fanger was ready for a break from high school football when he stepped down as Glencoe's coach following the 2017 season.
"After 24 years, I needed it just to kind of push away for a bit," Fanger said. "But halfway through the season, I missed the guys, I missed the coaches, I missed the locker room, everything about football."
Fanger returned in 2019 as the offensive coordinator at Tigard. And now, he is ready to be a head coach again.
He has been hired as the coach at 4A Hidden Valley, where he will replace James Powers. It is the fifth head coaching job for Fanger, who has compiled a 57-66 record at La Salle Prep (2006-09), Lincoln (2010-11), West Linn (2012-13) and Glencoe (2014-17).
Fanger has spent much time in the Grants Pass area in the last three decades while visiting the family of his wife, Joelle, a Hidden Valley graduate who is in the school's sports hall of fame (formerly Beck). He said when they recently became "empty nesters," he was intrigued by an opening for a PE teacher at Hidden Valley.
Fanger, who had continued teaching at Glencoe, was hired as a teacher at Hidden Valley in late May and secured a spot on the football staff as an assistant. The head coaching job opened shortly after when Powers, who coached the Mustangs to a 23-12 record in four seasons, opted to step down.
Fanger was named the head coach in June and has spent much of the summer traveling from his home in Tualatin to Hidden Valley to conduct workouts and 7-on-7 competition. The Mustangs started their conditioning camp Monday.
"It's been a fast summer," Fanger said. "Everybody down there is just awesome."
Fanger, who played quarterback at Lakeridge and Lewis & Clark College, takes over a Hidden Valley team that has had much success in recent seasons with a wide-open passing attack.
Behind quarterback Sam Vidlak, now on the team at Oregon State, the Mustangs went 12-1 and reached the 3A final in 2019. Last season, after Vidlak left early to join the Beavers, Hidden Valley returned to 4A and finished 4-0.
"They've had a really good run of athletes," Fanger said. "The fact that they've won the last two or three years is a big deal."
Fanger, known for running a spread offense, can build around senior quarterback Nate Vidlak, Sam's brother. Nate moved from receiver to quarterback last season and impressed, drawing interest from Big Sky Conference college programs as a quarterback and athlete. He already has an offer from Idaho State.
"He's definitely a college football player," Fanger said of Nate Vidlak, a dominant pitcher who led Hidden Valley's baseball team to an 18-0 record last season. "That's what he wants to do. He's always asking questions. He's got a really sharp football mind.
"We don't have to pull the reins back in that spot, which is awesome. We've just got to figure out the guys we need to get the ball to."
Hidden Valley baseball coach Mark Vidlak, the father of Sam and Nate, stepped down as the offensive coordinator before Powers resigned. Now the Mustangs need to adjust to Fanger's approach.
"The first year is always the toughest, just installing everything because it's new terminology," Fanger said. "We're certainly a work in progress. The opener will come too fast, I guarantee that. We've got a good crop of kids. If we can stay healthy, we'll be OK."
Fanger needs to develop some new blood at the skill positions. Hidden Valley graduated college-bound talent in receivers Jeremiah Noga (walking on at Oregon State), Lawrence Matusik (Western Oregon) and Gabe Burchfield (Western Oregon) and running back Tobias Powers (Linfield), the son of the former coach.
Roughly half of the starters are eligible to return, including all-league junior center Ayden Kanott and all-league senior safety Noah Stone, a potential go-to receiver.
"We have some pieces, for sure," Fanger said. "A lot of them didn't get a lot of playing time just because they were so loaded for a couple years. We're kind of all starting fresh together.
"We'll probably be a little more balanced this year because of the people we have, our running backs and things like that. So I don't think we'll be quite as spread-it-out, four-wide, throwing it. We'll try to get everybody some touches."
Fanger has retained much of the coaching staff, including defensive coordinator Randy Keith. He has left the door open for James Powers, who has a son entering the seventh grade, to return.
"I told him if he missed it, we'd love to have him back," Fanger said.
It will be Fanger's first 4A job since he coached at La Salle Prep, where he led the Falcons to records of 7-5, 9-1, 7-4 and 2-7 before leaving for 6A Lincoln in 2010. Hidden Valley's schedule includes a Week 3 home date against perennial 4A power Banks in a nonleague game.
"I'm sure they'll be ranked No. 1, and that'll be a big test for us," Fanger said. "I know there are a lot of good 4A schools. Football is football. The level to me doesn't matter."

Q: How to find the probability of a given statement being true? A statement with probability $x$ of being true is given. Two independent people (A and B) are brought in to assess the validity of said statement. The probability that A is correct is $p_1$. The probability that B is correct is $p_2$. They both agree that the statement is true. What is the probability that the statement is, in fact, true?

A: What we want to calculate is the conditional probability of the statement beeing true, given A and B saying it is true.
$$
P(\text{the statement is correct}| \text{A and B say it is true})
= \frac{P(\text{A and B say it is true} | \text{the statement is correct})P(\text{the statement is correct})}{P(\text{A and B say it is true})}
= \frac{P(\text{A and B say it is true} | \text{the statement is correct})P(\text{the statement is correct})}{P(\text{A and B say it is true}| \text{the statement is correct})+ P(\text{A and B say it is true}| \text{the statement is not correct})}
$$
Hier is the problem, I don't see a way to access $P(\text{A and B say it is true}| \text{the statement is not correct})$.

A: I belive I may have cracked it.
Let $A_T$: "A says it's true"
$\ \ \ \ \ $ $B_T$: "B says it's true"
$\ \ \ \ \ $ $X_T$: "The statement is true"
$P(X_T|A_T \cap B_T) = \frac{P(A_T \cap B_T|X_T) \times P(X_T)}{P(A_T \cap B_T)} = \frac{P(A_T \cap B_T|X_T) \times P(X_T)}{P(A_T \cap B_T \cap X_T) + P(A_T \cap B_T \cap \overline{X_T})}$
$P(A_T \cap B_T|X_T)^{*_1} = p_1p_2$
$P(A_T \cap B_T \cap X_T) = P(A_T \cap B_T|X_T) \times P(X_T) = p_1p_2x$
$P(A_T \cap B_T \cap \overline{X_T}) = P(A_T \cap B_T|\overline{X_T})^{*_2} \times P(\overline{X_T}) = (1-p_1)(1-p_2)(1-x)$
Finally,
$$
P(X_T|A_T \cap B_T) = \frac{p_1p_2x}{p_1p_2x+(1-p_1)(1-p_2)(1-x)}
$$
*1: The probablity of A and B being right
*2: The probablity of A and B being wrong


So one thing led to another, after an hour of coffee, ice cream and being normal after the night bus to Iguazu, it was time to find a hostel on the right side of the river, more and more buses were arriving, everything was taken online, it was time to call around (the old fashioned way) and see if any hostels not listed online had a bed and my luck was running out.
Luckily, one hostel did, but the bed was on the other side of town, so off i went and i arrived at where i though the hostel was, wrong hostel, but they had a book exchange, so after a quick swap, with very little though, off i went to the right hostel further down the road.
Before all this, i did not know what a Goldfinch looked like, now we both do.
Apparently, this is the book everyone is talking about, at cocktail parties and social gatherings, maybe now i will fit in? La de dah!!!
The last few chapters of the book are epic, words of wisdom are rolling like a herd of stampeeding buffalow, a bit like a Tom Robbins book, every sentence is gold!
One of the main characters Boris, he is to this book what Neal Cassedy is to ´On the road´ by Jack Kerouac. He is full of life and optamisim, things are never really bad, because they could be way worse, if he is going to hell, he´s going to go laughing, and you´d be tempted to go with him, because it will be fun.
Boris says life is a miracle, where your born is luck, a toss of the coin and Boris point of view was that you cant see yourself as a victim asking why this happened to you, Nelson Mandela said something similar, although not recently.
Boris was saying, good can come from bad, and when it does you need to take advantage of it.
One of the themes was trust, Boris talked about a book called ´The Idiot´, in it the character Prince Myshkin, all he ever did was good, he treated everyone with respect, compassion and what resulted was murder and disaster. He trusted all the wrong people and made bad decisions.
Also, the bad stuff we think we are going through, can be pushing us towards who we really are, our true selves. Anywhere you get there, isn´t really important. Reminds me of a farmer i met in Columbia that overturned a tractor on his way to a rave in Ireland, true story, and he paid for his holiday by selling drugs.
This book has made an impression on me, or maybe its becuse this month i havent been drinking, i´ve been eating less and losing tons of weight, or maybe its the voices in my mind?
Boris says, Embrace life, the good and the bad and when you get a bad deal, you can bluff and fake it until you make it. Snap out of the self destruction and get living.
As bad as Boris life was, he never saw it that way. He got beated up a lot by his father, it was nothing to him. The filter of his life, his way of thinking was different and he saw the world in an optimistic way, whats interesting was, from the first day he met him, his attitude never really changed throughout the book, and he never took no for an answer.
As crazy as Boris life was, he was pretty much in control, as much as anyone could be, he never saw iself as the victim.
Whats interesting about Boris was he saw the good and bad in people, he was objective he never judged people for who they were. Theo on the other hand was subjective, it was like they had two versions of the same story. Boris saw the good in Theos father, something Theo couldn´t see.
In Boris mind there was never a problem, since most of the worries and problems are in our heads.
Sometimes all the bad stuff that has happened in your life can end up with people meeting and having a common bond, the current moment is always the most important time in your life, this was one of the themes, both had lost their mothers and nothing ever bad happened to their no good fathers.
By losing the Goldfinch painting, they end up helping recovering many more and collecting a huge ransom, the silver lining in the cloud, in the end.
Whether something is good or bad, who can tell? I missed a bus today, because i couldn't get money, good or bad? I don't know? i wouldn't be writing this now in a bus!!
Boris wasn't greedy either, he was more than happy to share the wealth with people along the way. Maybe because he was optimistic about making more in the future, he got shot, to him it was only a graze. He was luck he didnt get killed.
When Boris was young, he stole to survive, but he would only steal from people who could afford to lose it, especially corporations, never steal off of the working man.
After all things going wrong for me, booking the wrong hostel, went to another wrong hostel, picked up a random book, everything turned out nicely in the end, and it might happen for you too, so what are you waiting for, get your library card and get that book, you can bring the dog for a walk too!
You see? A win win situation.

Why I am going Facebook Free
The FTC is making me tell you that I use affiliate links.
I published the original version of this article on my yoga blog, SuvataYoga.com.
I first stumbled across the idea of going Facebook Free when Basecamp announced their decision to go Facebook Free in December 2018. I didn't see how this was practical for me at the time as I was a service provider and running a digital agency. (More on that later.)
But, in short, going Facebook Free means:
We will not purchase advertisements from Facebook for either Facebook or Instagram.
We will not install the Facebook Pixel, allow Facebook Login, or enable Facebook Like buttons.
We will no longer use Facebook Pages, Groups, or Messenger. My business will not use Instagram, though I haven't deleted my personal account yet.
Facebook's Track Record with Privacy
Privacy matters because a free society cannot exist if the citizenry has no expectation of privacy.
For the last decade, I have been deeply troubled by Facebook's attitude towards privacy.
My concern began when it was revealed in 2010 that government organisations were mining user's social media data. But — like most people — I chalked it up to a one-time occurrence and buried my head in the sand.
In fact, Facebook has a history of complying with government requests to access private data to establish facts of a crime, prove or disprove alibis, and even illustrate communications between two parties. And here's the kicker: Facebook complies even when the government lacks reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. You can read more about this in a 92-page document published by the Pace Law Review.
Then in 2011, the FTC filed a 19 page complaint against Facebook for failure to uphold privacy promises made to users. Facebook settled in November 2011, and as part of the settlement, Facebook was prohibited from making deceptive privacy claims, and as a result their language regarding privacy became evermore nebulous. (You can read the full document from the FTC here.)
Also in 2011 it was revealed that Facebook keeps a log of pages visited by both Facebook users and non-users. In November 2015, Facebook was ordered by the Belgian Privacy Commission to cease tracking non-users. Instead, Facebook blocked all non-users from seeing anything on Facebook, including publicly posted content.
While we're on the topic of tracking, Facebook knows what sites you visit thanks to a bit of code that website owners install. Website owners install Facebook pixels on their websites so they can serve you better ads, and also serve you ads for things you almost bought but didn't. If you have ever been stalked around Facebook by that crockpot you looked at on Amazon 3 months ago, this is why: retargeting.
(To be clear: my websites do not have a Facebook Pixel installed.)
Happily, Facebook recently introduced an Off-Facebook Activity list which shows all the things you've done off Facebook that Facebook knows about. You can click here to access it.
As you can see from my screenshot, some 558 apps and websites have shared information with Facebook about me; sites that I don't even remember visiting, and apps that I uninstalled after 30 seconds when I realised the app was shitty. All of this off-Facebook activity only builds the dataset they have on you.
In 2013 High-Tech Bridge (Now ImmuniWeb) published a study showing how links sent privately via Facebook Messenger were being accessed by Facebook, and not — in fact — private.
Also in 2013, it was revealed that Facebook is a participant in the National Security Administration's PRISM program, which is a mass surveillance program that collects data from internet companies in the United States. Both Facebook and Google joined back in 2009.
And don't even get me on the DeepFace program, a facial recognition program developed by Facebook using the data of 4 million images uploaded by users without their explicit consent. DeepFace is more accurate at identifying someone than the FBI's facial recognition program.
All of my discontent was amplified by the famous Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2018. As a privacy advocate, I followed the scandal with baited breath.
Cambridge Analytica harvested the personal data of millions of Facebook users without their consent and used predominately to serve these users with political advertisements.
Donald Trump's presidential campaign used the data to build psychographic profiles of voters. Ads were then served to voters based on whether or not they were Trump supporters or swing voters. Trump supporters received ads showing him as presidential, while swing voters were shown ads disparaging Hillary Clinton.
A fascinating documentary about this scandal called The Great Hack is available on Netflix. I strongly encourage you to watch it. My husband and I were so outraged we basically spent the entire duration screaming at the TV.
More details about the profound impact of the Cambridge Analytica scandal were published in January by TechCrunch.
The reason I care so much about these egregious — and numerous — privacy violations is because privacy is a fundamental right, and when that right is infringed upon, so is one's right to be authentically and unapologetically themselves.
The things we think, the things we believe, and the things we read on the internet are nobody's business but our own. And this information should not be manipulated, nor should it be controlled by anybody but ourselves.
Facebook — or any other company for that matter — should not be able to get rich by selling our personal data, purchase history, or browser history, to the highest bidder.
But yet, this is the era in which we live.
We live in a time where we expect to receive extremely costly services (like social networking) for free, but because the service to the users is free, companies have to make their money somehow.
And they do so by selling our data.
You — the Facebook user — are not the customer. You are the product. The advertisers are the customers.
Facebook is Toxic and Manipulative
While I am passionate about privacy, privacy concerns are just one reason Sūvata is leaving Facebook.
The other reason is that Facebook is toxic and manipulative.
Facebook's number one goal is to keep users on Facebook. Facebook wants you to be hooked. It's in their best interest that you're addicted to their platform. According to Jaron Lanier, a technologist who is considered to be a founding father of virtual reality, "We're being hypnotized little by little by technicians we can't see."
Back in 2014, the Washington Post published an article about the "emotional contagion" experiment conducted by Facebook's data scientists.
Facebook's researchers wanted to know if your newsfeed is full of happy posts, will you be happier? Conversely, if your feed is filled with sad posts, will you be sadder?
"To test that, Facebook data scientists tweaked the newsfeed algorithms of roughly 0.04 percent of Facebook users, or 698,003 people, for one week in January 2012," reported the Washington Post. "During the experiment, half of those subjects saw fewer positive posts than usual, while half of them saw fewer negative ones. To evaluate how that change affected mood, researchers also tracked the number of positive and negative words in subjects' status updates during that week-long period. Put it all together, and you have a pretty clear causal relationship."
The results were not surprising. When you see happier posts, you're more likely to make happier posts. When you see sad posts, you're more likely to make sad posts. This feeds the vicious cycle of keeping you addicted to Facebook.
In 2018 Facebook announced the algorithm would decrease the amount of news in the feed from credible news sources, and instead increase non-publisher content (like posts from your friends) that spur engagement and encourages comments. This was part of Facebook's push to increase "meaningful interactions."
A report published a year later by News Whip explored the impact this had.
"The most commented articles were often the most divisive ones," the News Whip report states. "Topics included religion, abortion once again, religion, and politics, In short, everything we are taught from a young age not to bring up at a dinner party is ripe for conversation on social media, and is often the most talked about topics."
And this comes as no surprise.
Button-pushing topics that trigger contempt, anxiety, and outrage, also trigger far more engagement than less controversial topics.
The more engagement that exists on Facebook, the more engagement will exist on Facebook. And that's what fuels Facebook's engine.
The more time you spend on Facebook engaging with posts — regardless of whether you like or dislike them — the more ads you see. Your engagement also increases the engagement rates of those with whom you are engaging forcing them to see more ads.
This endless cycle of post-engage-scroll is what keeps Facebook in business.
The algorithm is not the only reason Facebook is toxic. Facebook users can also be toxic. While there are certainly good reasons to be on Facebook — such as staying in touch with distant friends and family — there are also people who use Facebook as a platform to air their dirty laundry or to appear morally superior through virtue signalling.
Since the latest round of protests and race riots began, I have found Facebook to be more toxic than ever. Both virtual signalling and actual racism are thriving on Facebook. People who I otherwise love and respect have been spewing hatred for anyone who hasn't engaged in virtue signalling — and in some instances, this hatred has damaged the business of those who haven't virtue signalled.
Thanks in no small part to Facebook, cancel culture is alive and well, and hurting people who haven't actually done anything to merit being cancelled. Cancel culture has taken on a life of its own where it's being used to shame and destroy those with whom one doesn't perfectly agree.
Being a Libertarian I certainly support anyone's right to support or not support whoever they want, or to say whatever they want no matter how negative or toxic I find their opinions. But I also support my right to avoid toxic negativity.
While it certainly takes courage to stand up for what you believe in, it takes even more guts to sit back down for what you're willing to tolerate.
Why didn't I leave Facebook sooner?
Well, to be honest: it's because I had the wrong business model.
I was running a service-based business. I had a roster of international clients, and I got most of my clients through word of mouth. It is difficult to do that without social media. I needed to remain top-of-mind so when people thought, "I need a great website" the next thought was, "I should call Ysmay."
For years I tried to leave Facebook, only to have to come back in order to network and build my personal brand.
Facebook also makes it very easy to stay in touch with distant friends and family because, let's be serious, in 2020 we're all pretty lazy when it comes to staying in touch.
So I sucked it up. I swallowed my anger, outrage, and indignation. I told myself the positive aspects of Facebook outweigh the bad.
But, then I changed my business model. I closed down my service business. I stopped providing services in March 2020. I pivoted everything to focus on my calling: to help people get healthy and take charge of their lives.
And I don't need Facebook to do that.
In fact, by removing myself from Facebook, I have more energy to focus on creating valuable, long-form content.
Will going Facebook free hurt my business?
Yeah, probably. And not an insignificant amount, either. Just by closing down my groups and my pages, I lose access to about 50k people. That doesn't even include the Instagram accounts I have for multiple brands.
But, there has to be a way to grow and prosper without Facebook — especially as I transition to a new business model. I am determined to find it. I think the secret lies in a combination of SEO and Pinterest. As I figure out what works best, I will share that information.
What I'm Doing Instead of Facebook
I will of course continue to write, and I am going to release my writings as podcast episodes on my new show One Flawed Mortal.
The decision to go Facebookless has forced me to be creative in how I connect and serve.
For community growth and outreach, I am focusing on Telegram and Reddit. Telegram to send small updates, and Reddit to connect and chat.
What I love about both Telegram and Reddit is the ability to be anonymous, without losing access to the content. Health, wellness, business, yoga, personal development, spirituality…these are deeply personal topics, and you may not want your legal name associated with some of the things you are going through.
I have been using Telegram for years, and I absolutely love it. I am a member of several communities there, and I also use it as my default texting app.
Here's where I'll share updates on Telegram from this blog: https://t.me/oneflawedmortal
And if you care about yoga, you can get SūvataYoga here: https://t.me/suvata
And if you care about web design, you can get Designerless here: https://t.me/designerless
If you want to connect with me personally, send me a message. https://t.me/ysmaywalsh
I started a yoga sub-Reddit back in March of 2020, but didn't do anything with it. I also started a web design sub-Reddit, but neglected that too. But it is my sincere hope that my sub-Reddits will become the community hub for both Designerless and Sūvata.
