From Sandy to 'legitimate rape,' the finger-pointing begins
DANA MILBANK
And now begins the quadrennial exercise of coming to terms with the loss of a presidency.
For the second time in a row, Republicans are the grieving party proceeding through the five stages.
Denial. "I think this is premature," Karl Rove protested on Fox News election night, after the cable network, along with other news outlets, correctly projected that President Obama had won Ohio — and therefore the presidency. "We've got to be careful about calling things."
Anger. "We should have a revolution in this country," tweeted flamboyant mogul Donald Trump, who had served as a prominent surrogate for Romney. "This election is a total sham and a travesty."
Bargaining. "We're willing to accept new revenue under the right conditions," House Speaker John Boehner offered Wednesday, shifting his budget negotiating posture before reconsidering the next day, but "the president must be willing to reduce spending and shore up entitlement programs."
Depression. "If Mitt Romney cannot win in this economy, then the tipping point has been reached," Ann Coulter said on Laura Ingraham's radio show. "It's over. There is no hope."
Acceptance. Uh, well, there hasn't been much of that yet.
Before arriving at acceptance, Republicans must go through another stage of grief unique to political loss: an extended period of finger-pointing known as the recriminations phase. Only after this period of excuses is it possible to arrive at the plain truth of the matter: The electorate wasn't buying what they were selling. But first, it is necessary to blame:
The weather. "Hurricane Sandy saved Barack Obama's presidency," Haley Barbour, the Mississippi governor and former Republican Party chairman, informed NBC's Matt Lauer.
Senate candidates in Missouri and Indiana. "Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock and Chris Christie undermined the Republican message," a Romney adviser told National Review.
Karl Rove. "Congrats to @KarlRove on blowing $400 million this cycle," the Twitter-happy Trump tweeted. "Every race @CrossroadsGPS ran ads in, the Republicans lost." Actually, a study by the Sunlight Foundation found that Rove's super PAC had a 1 percent success rate.
The candidate's personality. "If you put out a guy who is enormously unlikable, who is a caricature of a distant and out-of-touch technocrat, then he's going to run poorly," deduced Ben Domenech of the conservative blog RedState.
Staff incompetence. "They were a bunch of well-meaning folks who were, to use a phrase that Governor Romney coined to describe his opponent, way in over their heads," a member of Romney's national finance committee told Rucker.
Staff deception. "There was ... a lot of smoke and mirrors from Team Romney and outside charlatans, many of whom will now go work for Republican Super PACs making six figure salaries, further draining the pockets of rich Republicans," RedState's Erick Erickson wrote.
GOP leaders. "Republican leaders behind the epic election failure of 2012 should be replaced," declared conservative activist Richard Viguerie at the National Press Club, singling out party chairman Reince Priebus, Boehner and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
Country-club Republicans. "The Presidential loss is unequivocally on Them," said jenny beth martin of the Tea party patriots.
The Republican Party's moderation. "We need a third party to save this country," Herman Cain said in a radio appearance.
Failing to talk about foreign policy and Obamacare. "Those are major issues and Romney rarely mentioned them in the final days," a Romney adviser said to National Review.
Failing to talk about abortion. "Mitt Romney ...never highlighted this vulnerability," complained Marjorie Dannenfelser of the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List.
Relying on old people. "The Democrats do voter registration like a factory, like a business, and Republicans tend to leave it to the blue hairs," said Henry Barbour, nephew of the former Mississippi governor, according to the Huffington Post's Jon Ward.
After Republicans work through the blame, they can get down to the real reason for the loss, and it has nothing to do with Romney, his staff or the weather. Once Republicans can accept this — that their alienation of Latinos and women is shrinking the party into a coalition of white men concentrated in the South — they can begin to do something about it.

Flesh colors Red color outer meat and light color inner meat.
Mackerel is actually a term which is used for different species of fish that belong to the Scombridae family, including Cero, Atlantic, King and Spanish mackerel. This deep water fish is also known as lacento or maccarello. Mackerel can be found in Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean Ocean. Although, they are deep water fish but some of them like Spanish mackerel can be found in near the bays as well. They are found in both temperate and tropical seas, mostly living along the coast or offshore in the oceanic environment. This oily fish can be found in different varieties such as Atlantic mackerel (Boston mackerel), Spanish mackerel, King mackerel (kingfish or cavalla), Cero mackerel (cerro or painted mackerel), Pacific mackerel (American, blue or chub mackerel), Pacific Jack mackerel (horse mackerel) and Wahoo (ono).
Mackerel is a slim fish with a cylindrical shape and it has a strong flavor. The slim torpedo-shaped fish is found in deep temperate and tropical waters. These fish are iridescent blue-green above with a silvery underbelly and twenty to thirty near vertical wavy black stripes running across their upper body. It has two widely separated dorsal fins and numerous finlets (small fins) on a dorsal and lateral side of the body. Tail is shaped like fork. The mackerel is known for their oil meat and slim shape. Many of the mackerel's healthy benefits are derived from its oily meat which contains lots of omega-3 fats.
Mackerel is known as a very healthy fish and regular consumption is very good for overall health. It is famous for the heart health benefits it provides and also, known for making the blood clean and fresh. One should buy mackerel that is firm and bright, gills should be clean and the skin moist with shiny scales. Ideally, this fish should be eaten within couple of days because its skin disintegrates quickly. Mackerel is an important food fish that is consumed worldwide. As an oily fish, it is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. The flesh of mackerel spoils quickly, particularly in the tropics, and can cause scombroid food poisoning. Accordingly, it should be eaten on the day of capture, unless properly refrigerated or cured.
The upper surface of Mackerel fish is dark steely to greenish blue, often almost blue-black on the head. The body is striped with 23 to 33 (usually 27 to 30) dark transverse bands that run down in an irregular wavy course nearly to the mid-level of the body, below which there is a narrow dark streak running along each side from pectoral to tail fin. The pectorals are black or dusky at the base, the dorsal and caudal are gray or dusky. The jaws and gill covers are silvery. The lower parts of the sides are white with silvery, coppery, or brassy reflections and iridescence; the belly silvery white. But the iridescent colors fade so rapidly after death that a dead fish gives little idea of the brilliance of a living one.
Most of the grown fish are between 14 and 18 inches long; a few reach a length close to 22 inches. Fourteen-inch fish weigh about 1 pound in the spring and about 1¼ pounds in the fall when they are fat; 18-inch fish weigh about 2 to 2½ pounds; a 22-inch mackerel will likely weigh 4 pounds. An unusually large mackerel is taken occasionally; in 1925, for example, the schooner Henrietta brought in one weighing 7½ pounds.
The Atlantic horse mackerel is a species of jack mackerel in the family Carangidae. It gets its common name from the legend that other smaller species of fish could ride on its back over great distances. Other common names include European horse mackerel (in the U.S.), common scad, scad, and saurel.
Wahoo is a scombrid fish found worldwide in tropical and subtropical seas. It is best known to sports fishermen, as its speed and high-quality flesh make it a prize game fish. In Hawaii, the wahoo is known as ono. Many Hispanic areas of the Caribbean and Central America refer to this fish as peto.
The Atlantic mackerel is a pelagic schooling species of mackerel found on both sides of the North Atlantic Ocean. The species is also called Boston mackerel, Norwegian mackerel, Scottish mackerel, or just mackerel.
The blue mackerel, Japanese mackerel, Pacific mackerel, slimy mackerel, or spotted chub mackerel is a fish of the family Scombridae, found in tropical and subtropical waters of the Pacific Ocean from Japan south to Australia and New Zealand, in the eastern Pacific (Hawaii and Socorro Island, Mexico), and the Indo-West Pacific: the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman and the Gulf of Aden, in surface waters down to 200 m (660 ft.). Its length is between 30 and 65 cm (12 and 25.5 in), and weighs a little over 1 kilogram (2.2 lb.).
, mackerels, and bonitos, and the butterfly kingfish. Scomberomorini comprises 21 species across three genera.
The Pacific jack mackerel (also known as the Californian jack mackerel or simply jack mackerel), is an abundant species of pelagic marine fish in the jack family, Carangidae. The species is distributed along the western coast of North America, ranging from Alaska in the north to the Gulf of California in the south, inhabiting both offshore and inshore environments. The Pacific jack mackerel is a moderately large fish, growing to a maximum recorded length of 81 cm, although commonly seen below 55 cm.
The chub mackerel, Pacific mackerel, or Pacific chub mackerel is a mackerel which closely resembles the Atlantic chub mackerel.
The Indian mackerel is a species of mackerel in the scombrid family (family Scombridae) of order Perciformes. It is commonly found in the Indian and West Pacific oceans, and their surrounding seas. It is an important food fish and is commonly used in South and South-East Asian cuisine.
The Pacific sierra also known as the Mexican sierra, is a ray-finned bony fish in the family Scombridae, better known as the mackerel family. More specifically, this fish is a member of the tribe Scomberomorini, the Spanish mackerels.
The short mackerel or shortbodied mackerel is a species of mackerel in the family Scombridae. Its habitat is the shallow waters of Southeast Asia and Melanesia, feeding mainly on small zooplankton. It is of major importance in the fisheries industry.
The Australian spotted mackerel is a species of fish in the family Scombridae. Common fork length ranges between 50 to 80 cm. Specimens have been recorded at up to 104 cm in length, and weighing up to 10.2 kg. It is found in the western Pacific, along the northern coast of Australia, from the Abrolhos Islands region of Western Australia to Coffs Harbour and Kempsey in central New South Wales.
Apart from their mild taste and strong flavor, mackerel fish is a good source of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Consuming 88 gram of mackerel fish offers 16.72 µg of Vitamin B-12, 45.4 µg of Selenium, 15.67 g of Total Fat, 20.99 g of Protein, 6.028 mg of Vitamin B3, 245 mg of Phosphorus, 0.405 mg of Vitamin B6, 0.363 mg of Vitamin B2 and 85 mg of Magnesium. Moreover many Amino acids 0.235 g of Tryptophan, 0.92 g of Threonine, 0.967 g of Isoleucine, 1.705 g of Leucine, 1.927 g of Lysine, 0.621 g of Methionine and 0.225 g of Cystine are also found in 88 gram of mackerel fish.
One of the most effective methods to prevent heart disease is to consume diet containing good amounts of omega 3 fatty acids. Mackerel fish is not only rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids but also is also low in saturated fats. Hence frequent consumption of this fish helps to lowers your risk of heart complications like stroke, atherosclerosis, heart attacks and arrhythmia.
Mackerel consists of good amount of healthy fats namely monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) which play a key role in the prevention, as well as control of blood sugar levels in diabetics. Consuming this fish on a regular basis not only controls blood sugar levels in the body, but it also lowers visceral fat, thus lowering your risk of diabetes.
In case you are a non-vegetarian by nature and suffer from hypertension, consume mackerel fish on a daily basis to keep your blood pressure levels within control. High levels of potassium present in this fish helps in maintaining normal blood pressure in addition to lowering the risk of health complications associated with the condition.
Mackerel consists of anti-inflammatory compounds which help in lowering the joint pain and stiffness of muscles in people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Including this fish in your diet while on medication is found to improve your condition by enhancing the efficacy of the drugs.
Mackerel fish is rich in coenzyme Q10, antioxidants, and omega-3 fats. Coenzyme Q10 help get rid of cancerous agents attached to cells; antioxidants can help lower risks of cancer by eliminating free radicals in your body; omega-3 fats can help prevent breast, prostate, renal and colon cancers. Apart from that mackerel fish is also rich in vitamin B12 and selenium that are helpful in treating cancers.
Content of omega 3 in the puffer fish is believed to help people lose weight. Research has shown that regular consumption of fish oil bloating combined with regular exercise can reduce abdominal fat expressively. It can also help regulate the body's metabolism, and can help reduce blood sugar in overweight people.
Fish oil found in mackerel helps lower your bad cholesterol particles, and increase your good cholesterol levels. The fish oil works by preventing cholesterol from being absorbed in the intestine, which at the mean time can also help lower blood pressure.
Research studies have proved that people consuming high levels of omega-3 fatty acids are at a lower risk of getting affected by depression. Therefore, by adding mackerel to your daily diet, this food not only aids in reducing mood swings common in individuals suffering from depression, but it also improves the activity of antidepressant medications. Mackerel is overloaded with DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) and consuming this fish lowers your chances of suffering from Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
Mackerel can be baked, broiled, pan fried, poached, and grilled.
Mackerel cooks fast and easily. Marinating it in the refrigerator increases its flavor and taste.
Mackerel can be used along with other combinations to add to its taste. One such combination is flaked smoked mackerel, apple and chive pate.
Mackerel is known to make a person's blood fresh by working as a blood purifier and thinner.
It offers better functioning of the heart, thus preventing cardiovascular disease.
It strengthens the immune system and provides support to the organs' functioning which has become weak due to illness.
It improves brain activity and increases the memory capability.
It works in reducing the LDL and helps in lowering the blood pressure.
It is helpful in bringing relief during pain in arthosis, arthritis, and Migraine.
It works in regulating the hormone level and in bringing elasticity to the capillaries and blood vessels.
It helps in eliminating cancer causing agents in cells.
Mackerels are carnivores (meat-eaters). Their diet consists of copepods, small fish, shrimps and squids.
They are diurnal animals (active during the day).
They are fast and agile swimmers. They can swim at the speed of 5.5 meters per second.
They have numerous natural enemies. Tunas, whales, dolphins, sea lions, sharks, tortoises and pelicans often consume mackerels.
It migrates toward the shallow water (close to the shore) during the spring, when mating season starts.
Mackerels have long lifespan. They can survive up to 25 years in the wild.
The eyes of fresh mackerel appear bright and clear. The gills should be clean and the skin moist, with tightly adhering, shiny scales.
Select mackerel that is stiff and does not bend by its head or tail.
While purchasing mackerel fillets or steaks, select the ones with moist, translucent flesh.
While storing mackerel, eliminate it from the packet and wash well under cold water. Pat with paper towels and pace it on a cake rack, in a shallow pan filled with crushed ice. Cover with a foil and refrigerate in the coldest part.
Wrap the mackerel well and store in the freezer for 2 months or deep-freeze it for 3 to 4 months.
To melt the fish, wrap and place it in a pan, uncovered. Leave it in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
To get a strong taste, marinate the mackerel with a citrus or vinegar marinade, for 15 to 30 minutes.
To bake mackerel, place it in a greased baking dish. Brush with some oil or butter and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, at 450 °F (230 °C), until evenly cooked.
Mix together flour, crumbs and cornmeal. Coat the mackerel fillets with this mixture and place on the rack above the baking dish, 3 to 4 inches away from the element. Brush with melted butter or oil and broil for about 3 to 10 minutes, till the fish gets moist in the center.
Combine mackerel with seasoned flour, crumbs or cornmeal. Fry the fish in hot butter or oil. Cook on both sides until opaque and moist inside, say for about 4 to 8 minutes.
Since mackerel contains methyl mercury, pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid it.
Mackerel should not be consumed regularly by pregnant women, otherwise it harm a child's developing nervous system and pose risk to mothers as well.

The Mystery of Obanos
Legends Camino Santiago
The "From the Martyrdom of Santa Felicia and the Penance of Saint Guillen", is popularly known as "Mystery of Obanos", gives a literary body to a Secular legend of the 14th century about the children of the Dukes of Aquitaine.
After traveling the Camino de Santiago and feel the religious vocation, Princess Felicia, won by the fervor of the pilgrims and the miracles of heaven, He decided to burn his life in silence, escaping from his court, from his rank and wealth, in the humble service of our Lord.
She settled in the manor of Amocain, in the valley of Egües, where she hid her condition, hid her rank and lived quietly and deified, until she was discovered by Guillermo, her brother, brave and quarrelsome, who tried to rescue her for the larillo of the house and the illusions of the world. Everything was in vain. It reminded him of the honor of his ancestry, the dreams that his parents had twisted about him, his arranged marriage.
She clung to the call of heaven and the demands of a supernatural vocation. An authentic battle between human love and divine love. Guillermo, drunk with vanity, lost his temper in rage. Felicia reiterated her intentions to leave, abyssed in silence and humility. Guillermo, alienated, killed Felicia, innocent consecrated.
Heaven made the tomb of Felicia flourish in prodigies and turned it into a goal of devotion in Labiano, where it arrived by miraculous ways.
The tomb of Santa Felicia was fixed in Labiano (Valle de Aranguren), while his brother Guillén also reached sanctity after making a pilgrimage to Compostela and mourning his crime for the rest of his life in the Hermitage of Arnotegui, where he left alone the pilgrims on the Way of Saint James and helped the poor , and where his remains are still venerated today.
This representation recalls the life of brothers Felicia and Guillén, who live comfortably in their rich manor until Felicia decides to make a pilgrimage to Compostela. On his return he remains to serve in the lordship of Amocain. Her brother starts looking for her, she refuses to return and he kills her. Arrepentido Guillermo travels the Camino de Santiago in search of forgiveness and on the way back he decides to stay at the Hermitage of Arnotegui, in Obanos, and to remain there until his death.
The "Mystery of Obanos" is an auto - sacramental that was born under the protection of the Camino de Santiago. In it all the avatars of the Middle Ages are represented.
Representation is the responsibility of the "Mystery of Obanos" Foundation and the whole town of Obanos participates in it, more than 500 actors
The «Mystery of Obanos» He received different prizes, such as the Mystery of Elche Prize, was included within the Festivals of Spain and within the Festivals of Navarre.

Even English soccer is split over what do to about Brexit.
As the U.K. government struggles to forge its own plan to leave the European Union, it's told the Premier League to put together a joint proposal with the sport's national ruling body for dealing with player visas after Brexit, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The Premier League's worry is that limits to freedom of movement, a hallmark of EU membership, will reduce the number of European players available from the $5 billion global transfer market. For its part, the Football Association has concerns about the chances of English players and sees Brexit as an opportunity for home-grown talent.
Like the political leadership, the two organizations are hoping for a compromise that can ultimately benefit the England international team while clubs in soccer's richest competition can still keep maximum access to the EU's single market.
English players in the Premier League account for only about a third of available game time. The FA oversees the England team and is looking to build on successes at junior level and in this year's World Cup in Russia, where one of the youngest squads in the 32-team tournament reached the semi-finals.
Immigration was one of the key drivers of Britain's vote to leave the EU. Swathes of the country protested the influx of people into the labour market, particularly from eastern Europe in poorer regions of the U.K. But the Premier League trades on its global appeal and its proliferation of international stars, with even smaller clubs fielding a minority of domestic players.
At the moment, clubs can buy players from within the EU without the need to meet any of the strict qualifying criteria that restricts signings from outside Europe. Clubs can also sign players as young as 16 from the EU for their academies. Examples include Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, a Spaniard who came through neighbouring Arsenal's ranks.
Post Brexit, the Premier League wants its clubs to be free to sign any foreign players they choose, whether from Europe or outside Europe, without being forced to submit criteria to support their application. But in return it might be ready to accept a higher number of domestic players in squads, according to the person familiar with the situation, who declined to be identified because the talks are private.
Currently, they must name at least eight out of 25, though the rule has failed to prevent some teams from taking the field without a single home-grown player, as London club Chelsea did last weekend against Cardiff City, before Ross Barkley emerged as a second-half substitute.
An FA spokesperson said the organization was working with the Premier League, the lower-tier English Football League and a range of government departments, including the Home Office and Treasury during the consultation period.
A Premier League spokesman said its 20 clubs are waiting for more clarity on the "political and regulatory landscape" after the U.K. leaves the EU.

Q: Why does this MySQL query slow down when more conditions are added? So I have two tables:
1
CREATE TABLE `adstable` (
 `adid` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 `adbudget` decimal(14,7) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0.0000000',
 `targetdesktop` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
 `adactive` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
 `user` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
 `approved` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
 `imp_today` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
 `targetwindows` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY (`adid`),
 KEY `user_index` (`user`),
 KEY `budget_index` (`adbudget`) USING BTREE,
 KEY `imp_today_index` (`imp_today`) USING BTREE
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=719102 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT

2
CREATE TABLE `userstable` (
 `id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 `balance` decimal(14,7) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0.0000000',
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
 KEY `balance_index` (`balance`) USING BTREE
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=9 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT

and I have two MySQL queries:
1
SELECT adstable.adid FROM adstable INNER JOIN userstable ON (adstable.user = userstable.id  )
WHERE
adstable.adactive=1 AND adstable.approved = 1 AND
adstable.targetdesktop = 1 AND adstable.targetwindows = 1 and
adstable.adbudget > 0.02 AND userstable.balance > 0.02
ORDER BY adstable.imp_today ASC limit 1

2
SELECT adstable.adid FROM adstable INNER JOIN userstable ON (adstable.user = userstable.id  )
WHERE
adstable.adactive=1 AND adstable.approved = 1 AND
adstable.adbudget > 0.02 AND userstable.balance > 0.02
ORDER BY adstable.imp_today ASC limit 1

The 1st query has an extra condition in the where clause: adstable.targetdesktop = 1 AND adstable.targetwindows = 1
However the thing that I can't understand is why the first query takes 2-3 seconds to run, while the second query takes 2-3 seconds.
Notes:

*

*adstable has around 700k rows

*the second & first query both return the same 2 rows (but the extra
condition in the 1st query makes it so much slower)

*I ran query 1 by removing adstable.adactive=1 AND adstable.approved
= 1 instead of adstable.targetdesktop = 1 AND adstable.targetwindows = 1, and the query ran in 0.001 seconds.

Does anyone know why the second query is so much faster than the first, even though the second returns the same # and type of rows the 1st does?

A: You didn't post output from EXPLAIN so this is guesswork.  But it seems possible the conditions of your first query are somehow forcing MySQL's query planner to do a full table scan of your adstable. It's not a small table, so the scan will take a while.
Try creating a compound index on (adactive, approved, adbudget, user) on that table.  That's a covering index for your query. You should read about covering indexes.
 ALTER TABLE adactive
   ADD INDEX act_appr_bud_user (adactive, approved, adbudget, user);

That should allow the query planner to random-access and the partially scan an index to satisfy your query. It will likely speed things up.
Notice (as of early 2017) MySQL's query planner ordinarily can use only one index per table to satisfy a query. So lots of indexes on single columns can't help as much as compound indexes chosen for particular queries.

A: For large tables and LIMIT 1, the trick is to get the entire WHERE consumed, plus, the ORDER BY.  That is not possible, but the ideas here may help.
WHERE
adstable.adactive=1 AND
adstable.approved = 1 AND
adstable.targetdesktop = 1 AND
adstable.targetwindows = 1 and
adstable.adbudget > 0.02 AND
userstable.balance > 0.02
ORDER BY adstable.imp_today ASC limit 1

adstable needs
INDEX(adactive, approved, targetdesktop, targetwindows, adbudget),
INDEX(adactive, approved, targetdesktop, targetwindows, imp_today)

The first 4 columns can be in any order, but the last needs to be last.
The first index deals completely with the WHERE for adstable but will need to sort.  The second index will do some of the filtering, but avoid the sort and short-circuit the LIMIT 1.  The Optimizer may (or may not) pick the better of the two.
You could extend each of them to be "covering", but only by adding onto the end of the list.
In this
WHERE
adstable.adactive=1 AND
adstable.approved = 1 AND
adstable.adbudget > 0.02 AND
userstable.balance > 0.02
ORDER BY adstable.imp_today ASC limit 1

adstable needs
INDEX(adactive, approved, adbudget),
INDEX(adactive, approved, imp_today)

The first 2 columns can be in any order, but the last needs to be last.  Again, they could be extended, on the end, to make them "covering".
If you need to do both queries, then I recommend having all 4 indexes; no single one is optimal.
In both cases, userstable needs INDEX(id, balance) unless you already have PRIMARY KEY(id).
The JOIN could be replaced by
AND ( EXISTS * FROM userstable
         id = adstable.user AND balance > 0.02 )

This may (or may not) affect performance.

Lebanese-born American writer Rabih Alameddine's novel, An unnecessary woman, is tailor-made for readers. It was fittingly, therefore, my reading group's first book for 2018. The novel is told first person in the voice of 72-year-old childless, divorced Aaliya Saleh, who lives alone and spends her time reading and translating books. Set in an apartment in Beirut in the 2000s, it has a minimal plot, focusing more on the thoughts and ideas of this reclusive woman who describes herself as her "family's appendix, its unnecessary appendage".
However, before I tell you more about the subject-matter and why I so enjoyed this book, a little warning. This is the quintessential literary novel. It is packed with literary references and allusions, not to mention references to musicians and artists. One of Aaliya's favourite authors is the also-reclusive "connoisseur of alienation", Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa, and he appears regularly, but she also mentions, in no particular order, WG Sebald, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Patrick White (whom she adores), Helen Garner, Marguerite Youcenar, JM Coetzee, António Lobo Antunes, Ernest Hemingway, Albert Camus, Shakespeare, and many, many, many more. While I know the authors I've named here, I certainly don't know all those she mentions – but it doesn't matter. Well, it might, in that more knowledge might add all sorts of nuances to the book's meaning, but all I can say is that I enjoyed it with what I do know.
But now the subject-matter. Where to start? The book covers a lot of ground. It's about living in a war-torn city and country; it's about relationships, gender and women's lives in a patriarchal society in which her "half brothers, like so many men and boys, have the impatience of the entitled"; it's about aloneness and loneliness; and, best of all, it's about books and reading. It's this last one I want to focus on, partly because it's the one that gave me the most chuckles.
Most of the books published these days consist of a series of whines followed by an epiphany. I call these memoirs and confessional novels happy tragedies. We shall overcome and all that. I find them sentimental and boring.
This comment made me laugh because her story is, essentially, "a series of whines followed by an epiphany", for all her dislike of epiphanies. "Enough", she says, "have pity on readers who reach the end of real-life conflict in confusion and don't experience a false sense of temporary enlightenment". This book is, you might be seeing now, also about the intersection between reading and life. To what extent do they inform each other?
I've read so many recent novels, particularly those published in the Anglo world, that are dull and trite because I'm always supposed to infer causality. For example, the reason a protagonist can't experience love is that she was physically abused, or the hero constantly searches for validation because his father paid little attention to him as a child. This, of course, ignores the fact that many others have experienced the same things but do not behave in the same manner, though that's a minor point compared to the real loss in fulfilling the desire for explanation: the loss of mystery. Causation extraction makes Jack a dull reader.
Interesting point, this "loss of mystery", this sense that life cannot be so easily explained. She gives an example from "life" of a woman killed, during the civil war, while driving home from work. People proposed all sorts of reasons why it happened. She was a spy, or was a bank courier carrying a large amount of money, or was wearing a flashy diamond, whereas in fact she was just unlucky. "A stray bullet killed her".
If you read these pages and think I'm the way I am because I lived through a civil war, you can't feel my pain. If you believe you're not like me because one woman, and only one, Hannah, chose to be my friend, then you're unable to empathize.
This idea that finding causes for what happens to others enables us to distance ourselves from responsibility and to feel safe, has, says Aaliya, been explored by philosophers, such as the "ponderous and portentous" Sartre! Aaliyah, you see, is not cowed by big names and reputations. Nonetheless, she admits that, while she's trained herself "not to keep inferring or expecting causality in literature", she constantly wants explanations in life "where none exist". "Uncertainty", she says later, "is unsettling"!
It is the loneliness, the abject isolation. Hannah reappears in my memories to remind me of how alone I am, how utterly inconsequential my life has become, how sad.
It is partly in regard to this theme – and to the role of the "three witches" in her building – that Aaliyah has her "damn epiphany" at the end!
The rim of the saucer's depression is lightly discoloured – a dusting of rust and red and brown, remnants of teas gone by that did not wish to be washed away, refused to be forgotten, the age rings of a small plate.
By her actions, Aaliya, despite her "age rings", shows that she does "not wish to be washed away", that she refuses "to be forgotten". She will not, in other words, accept being "unnecessary".
I have barely scratched the surface of this thoughtful yet playful book that teases us with an idea and then, more often than not, turns it on its head. It is this mixing of the playful with the serious, in Aailya's compelling voice, that makes this largely plotless novel such an involving read.
Wow. Sounds like I need to read this sometime.
Thanks Jeanne. I'm hoping your reaction will be a common one to this post – because then I might get to read other bloggers' reviews! I don't think I've seen this much around the blogs even though it was published back in 2014.
Yes, Jim, and interesting you say that because this character's hobby is translating. But she never publishes it. It's the journey she says!
I got this as an audiobook about two years ago but I couldn't get into it – I don\'t think it was the book as much as the format that didn't work. It clearly needed more concentration than was possible or safe when driving. So I put it to one side and then forgot all about it.
Oh yes Karen, I can't imagine this as an audiobook … so I'd blame that and not give up on it for that reason anyhow. I think audiobooks work best with stories that move along.
Wonderful commentary on this book. I tend to really like novels that connect and reference other literature and art. With that, I would almost want to fill in my reading of Pessoa before I read this.
The issue of causality in literature is a fascinating one. I think that it is good that some books rely on it, but I think that it is worth reading some books that discard it.
Thanks Brian… Yes I agree with you re causality. I guess I'd add that I like what I'd call open causality, ie th hat which explores rather than necessarily concludes the whys.
I think you'd like this book, and knowing Pessoa a bit would help but I don't think it's necessary.
It's not only women who turn their heads from the mirror. And I was so sure it was my friend!
Haha, Bill … glad to know we are not alone!
My library has this. It's from 2013, why didn't it get any attention? It sounds wonderful. And now I just have to get through all my other library books so I can request this one.
I don't know why, Stefanie, because it's a book for people who love books. My brother's partner here read it and loved it which is how I heard about it. I think you'd like it.
Thanks Bekah. I love that you loved it too. I think I saw on GoodReads that Susan (SuLu) didn't love it. But I see it as a reader's book – even where we haven't read all the same authors, it's that love of reading and desire to relate it to our lives that is so appealing I thought.
But, yes, I understand the wish to read his other books rather than re-read this one.

Q: What are the differences between a wiki and a CMS What are the differences between a wiki and a CMS?  Is there any?

A: Typically a Wiki is community editable, visitors to the site can edit it, take Wikipedia for example.  A CMS is more designed typially, for a set of site administrators to manage and display content.

A: A Wiki is a type of CMS, CMS come in many flavors, but all manage some content somehow.  In a wiki's case the content is user-editable and creatable information or articles.

A: CMS:

*

*A CMS focuses on content which is then published through standardized templates -- think of an online newspaper as driven by a huge CMS system.

*It's about standardized publishing information.

*CMS'es usually have a limited group of editors.

*Useful for relatively static content, maintained by non-tech people.

*Much emphasis on style/presentation: very slick templates so it looks professional.

Wiki:

*

*On the other hand, a wiki focuses on pages where each page represents a topic.

*It's much more about collaboratively improving each topic (adding hyperlinks to other topics and websites counts as improving the topic).

*Wikis are generally much more open to "the public" (or everybody in the company, vs. just the "internal communication" department).

*Wikis are meant to be living, dynamic things, maintained by everybody.

*Much emphasis on content: less slick templates but easier to find and update information.

A: In some cases, a wiki is built on a CMS.  A wiki is an application, that people use.  A CMS is just a kind of database.  CMS's often have front-end administrator applications.  However, the point of a CMS is to manage content for some purpose-built front-end application.
CMS is to Wiki as Database is to Financial Application.

A: The difference is in the letter "M". A content management system manages content. A CMS often has built-in workflow and other features to make it easier to manage a collection of assets. For example, to move articles from staging to production, to facilitate proofreading, etc.
A wiki is more like a public bulletin board. Anyone can add any content at any time and in any way they choose.
Think of it perhaps as the difference between an IDE and a text editor. Both can be used for many similar tasks but one is a bit more structured than the other.
Of course, the lines can blurr in that some Wikis have tools for managing the content and some CMS's are nothing more than "type here and press the submit button".

A: In the conceptual world a Wiki is for collectible content, anybody can create, delete, modify any content. Is oriented on knowledge.
A CMS manages content, is oriented on format, form, maintenability.
Some wikis are constructed with an CMS

A: A CMS is a Content Management System. The idea behind the development of CMS evolved when the need for a Management System amplified. A CMS works as a cornerstone for web development by the help of which a developer can build powerful and feature-rich websites in minimum amount of time and effort. A good and powerful CMS not rectifies the frustrating need of writing repetitive and mundane codes, but also eliminates arduous and heavy tasks involved in building a website or web application.
Wikipedia on the other hand is an information directory. Sites such as Wikipedia can be built on a CMS, for instance The New York Times and TechCrunch is built on WordPress. In regard to information acquisition, Wikipedia is the best place that a user can go for - even better than Google. The number of articles Wikipedia contains is stupendous and highly reliable. The daily number of users depending on Wikipedia for information, itself serves as a testimonial for the service Wiki offers to us users.
