Q: Como faça para excluir apenas os registros de um campo da minha tabela no SQL Bom dia, eu precisaria excluir apenas os registrados de um campo da minha tabela. No caso eu tenho a tabela produto e nela tem o campo dtsaneamento e nesse campo possuí registros. Eu precisaria excluir apenas os registros desse campo e manter a tabela e as outras informações intactas. Alguém poderia me ajudar ?

A: update produto set dt_saneamento = null;

Dá um update na tabela setando o campo para null.

A: tabela = Nome da sua tabela
coluna = Coluna que você quer limpar
UPDATE tabela SET coluna = NULL

No seu caso ficaria assim
UPDATE produto SET dtsaneamento = NULL

A: Você pode fazer desta forma
UPDATE produto SET dtsaneamento = null;

Editado
Para apagar apenas os registros anteriores a data basta fazer assim
UPDATE produto SET dtsaneamento = null where campo_data < "2019-01-01";

Caso seu campo seja data e hora faça assim
UPDATE produto SET dtsaneamento = null where cast(campo_data as date) < "2019-01-01";

How does Yi-Kai Tea make fish so sexy?
Ichthyologist (aka fish expert) Yi-Kai Tea, also known as Kai the Fish Guy, is one of Sweaty City's favourite scientists. Since 2018, Kai has garnered a following of over 10k on Twitter through his incredible macrophotography of bright and beautiful fishes and his science communication... like the time he named a purple fairy wrasse 'Wakanda'.
What started out as an obsession with freshwater aquariums at the age of nine, developed into a fully-fledged love for Australia's most colourful and charismatic fish. Back in the day, you'd find Kai on popular aquarium blogs under the pseudonym 'Lemon TYK, but now he's put up shop at the Australian Museum, rewriting all we know about his favourite fairy wrasses and having his research published in the New York Times.
Here, Sweaty City sat down with Kai to talk all things fish, climate and where he sees himself in the future.
Tell me about how your passion for fish developed?
Growing up as a kid I was intensely interested in aquarium fishes. This mostly developed through my father's shared interest. I actually don't remember a time where we've not had a fish tank at home. I continued keeping aquarium fish late into my teenage years, and got my first saltwater fish tank at 16. I was also heavily involved in blogging, and for many years worked as an editor for several popular aquarium fish blogs and websites.
Did you have any important early mentors?
Dr. Anthony Gill was my first (and still is) my mentor in fish taxonomy and systematics. I would go to him with questions about fishes even as a casual hobbyist. Eventually he officially mentored me when I was in grad school and he's still teaching me new things every day.
How important is it for scientists like yourself to be able to communicate what they're studying?
Oh, immensely important. Doing good science is only half the work. Communicating it to the wider audience is the other.
Everyone has their own take on science communication. For me I try to be as relatable as possible. Break down that scientist façade – but also make sure that I'm communicating good, accurate science.
I also do a lot of photography, and I'm lucky in that I'm able to share original content. Lastly, I think its very important to try and communicate your science in a manner that is easily understood. I've had a lot of practice with non-scientific writing during my editorial days, so this is a blessing for me.
Do you have concerns about climate change when it comes to studying fish?
Climate change accelerated bleaching is a pressing concern. Lots of the fishes I study are coral reef dependent and when the reefs go, they go too. Although some fishes living in deeper habitats are able to persist even with coral bleaching, not all fishes are so lucky.
Can you tell me about one of your best career moments?
I'm still very green as a scientist, but I've had lots of amazing wonderful memories. I'll tell you two.
The first was when I got to go into a submarine in Curacao to look for new species of deepwater fishes. We got down to about 900ft and were able to collect some new species. I wasn't in academia yet at the time and I got to go down with some friends, and it was a real experience.
The second was describing Cirrhilabrus wakanda, the Vibranium Fairy Wrasse, with Luiz Rocha. We named this one after a MARVEL reference and got heaps of press for this. It was nice being able to get people interested in taxonomy.
We have to ask, what's your favourite Sydney fish?
The eastern blue devil (Paraplesiops bleekeri).
What's it like working at the Australian Museum?
Amazing! The Australian Museum holds one of the biggest collections of type specimens in the world (of coral reef fishes). They hold many very important specimens not only for my research, but for other academics. The staff there are so immensely friendly and so supportive of my research, and they've been there for me every step of the way. The curator of fishes, Joseph DiBattista, is a supervisor on my PhD panel, and the collections manager, Amanda Hay, is always there for me whenever I need help with loans or X-Rays. They really make life so easy for me and for that I'm very grateful!
What have been some of your biggest challenges, in terms of pursuing ichthyology?
That there aren't too many opportunities for formal training. Here in Australia we don't have dedicated courses at universities for ichthyology or taxonomy. A lot of it is self-taught, through reading and mentorship. It's not easy, and it's partly the reason why there aren't too many ichthyologists around.
What are your future goals as a scientist?
I would like to be known as someone who has contributed something meaningful and insightful into the field of ichthyology and coral reef systematics. ☺ Revising the genus of Cirrhilabrus (fairy wrasses) is one of my biggest goals. It's something that isn't particularly difficult, but very time consuming, and in need of careful work. We'll get there some day.

The Supreme Court has held that nothing in the Constitution prevents police from raiding newsrooms if they have a valid search warrant (see Zurcher v. Stanford Daily ). The Court rejected arguments by major news organizations that such searches threaten freedom of the press. In dissent, Justice Stewart, joined by Justice Marshall, argued that the press clause of the First Amendment precluded such searches unless there is reason to believe the news organization would not produce the evidence in response to a valid subpoena. Justice Stevens argued that the Fourth Amendment precluded such searches not just of newsrooms, but of premises of all third parties not themselves suspected of crime, unless it was shown that a subpoena would be impractical. But the majority said that the Fourth Amendment applies no differently to third parties than to suspects, and argued that the usual requirement that search warrants be issued only by a magistrate after a showing of probable clause was sufficient to protect against any special dangers to the press arising from newsroom searches.
The decision caused consternation throughout the news industry. Editors and news directors feared that newsroom searches might become a vehicle for disruption and harassment by police and prosecutors. More importantly, they feared that searches would compromise their ability to protect the confidentiality of sources. Because the search warrant procedure provides no opportunity for an advance hearing, journalists argued that confidences could be breached before they have an opportunity to invoke the protections provided by shield statutes or the emerging First Amendment privilege to protect reporter's sources.
The media outcry over the Zurcher decision led Congress to limit newsroom searches by passing the Privacy Protection Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C., Section 2000aa. The statute forbids any official, federal or state, from searching for or seizing ''material possessed by a person reasonably believed to have a purpose to disseminate to the public a newspaper, book, broadcast, or other similar form of public communication....'' There are some exceptions. The statute does not apply if the person in possession of the materials is a suspect in the offense to which the materials relate, or to evidence necessary to prevent death or serious injury. Materials other than work product may be seized to prevent the material from being destroyed, or if the possessor has failed to turn them over in obedience to a subpoena after exhausting all appeals.
A number of states also passed statutes restricting newsroom searches. These may limit searches by state and local officials even more than the federal statute does. For example, the Texas statute forbids all newsroom searches except for weapons, drugs, or other contraband (see Texas Code Criminal Procedures, Section 18.02).
Since the passage of these statutes, newsrooms searches have been infrequent, and the organizations whose premises were searched have sometimes won lawsuits against the searchers (see, for example, Steve Jackson Games, Inc. v. United States Secret Service [W.D.Tex. 1993], aff'd 36 F.3d 457 [5th Cir. 1994].

Tides of change: Shenzhen powers China's smart city drive
Updated 21:52, 07-Apr-2021
By Huang Fei
Shenzhen, the tech powerhouse in south China's Guangdong Province, has digitized most government administrative affairs in recent years as China forges ahead with smart city developments.
Artificial Intelligence and big data have transformed the way locals interact with the government, with tech giants such as Alibaba, Tencent and Ping An Smart City spearheading the innovation.
"We want to let data do most of the heavy-lifting instead of humans," said Wayne Hu, co-president and chief technology officer of Ping An Smart City.
His team is behind much of the city's digital makeover, most notably the "iShenzhen" mobile app. It handles more than 8,000 government administrative affairs, from paying utility bills and traffic fines to managing housing benefits and even entering a lottery for the central bank's digital currency.
"We believe smart city requires immense support, not just in writing the codes but also shaping how real life problems are solved," Hu said.

'It can catch a mouse'
Another widely-used solution is Ping An's AI-powered food regulation network, which shortens the approving period of issuing a restaurant license to no more than an hour from weeks during the off-line process.
"Applicants film their premises with our app. The video contains GPS and time stamps which allow AI to determine whether the restaurant complies with health and safety codes," said Hu, adding that an outdoor trash bin cannot be within 20 meters of the restaurant.
Nothing slips through the cracks - even in pitch darkness. "If there's a mouse running through the kitchen floor at night, the camera will catch it," Hu said.
The Ping An Smart City system also tracks cold-chain foods from the ports they arrive in the markets where they are sold, helping to alleviate concerns that COVID-19 could spread via packaging.

Billion-dollar efficiency
At the heart of every smart city initiative is the need to become more efficient. For example, traffic lights are altered in accordance with real-time traffic conditions and cloud data helps hospitals speed up diagnosis of COVID-19 cases.
The goal is to equip cities with a "digital brain" and a "central nervous system" that integrates data across all government agencies and businesses.
The data can be used to manage industries and identify which sectors to focus on, and allocate resources to where they are most needed.
Researchers believe smart city solutions can help governments and companies save billions of dollars every year.
Wu Haifeng, an associate professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), thought there are immense economic and environmental benefits in smart traffic regulation alone.
"Most of the vehicular pollution comes from emissions during the waiting periods," said Wu, adding "It isn't just about locals, for investors coming to Shenzhen, knowing they can get through traffic in an emergency also helps bring in business."
"It's about having confidence in a government's ability to improve the quality of life," Wu said.

Surveillance as a public service
China is home to over 1,000 smart city projects worldwide. Much of the advancements here are amplified by 5G, which makes communication among sensors, devices, and databases almost instantaneous.
Some critics however have questioned whether China's rapid smart city proliferation could be considered mass surveillance, as cameras and censors study how we behave in order to regulate traffic, fight crimes, and save energy.
Wu thought there are some misconceptions regarding smart city infrastructure.
"People always think about the number of cameras watching everything and everyone, but in fact less than 40 percent of smart city devices are cameras. Most devices are actually data censors, which collect public data such as air quality and noise," Wu said.

Such data give policy-makers valuable information to make better decisions. Wu quoted a study showing that a city's traffic congestion reduced by 50 percent and crime rate reduced by 70 percent after adopting smart city solutions.
But where the "surveillance for the public good" argument falls short, legislation provides a crucial layer of guarantee.
"Cyber security and privacy invasion are common human problems. To solve these problems I think the most important thing is legislation," Wu said.
"Luckily we can see that the Chinese government, either the local government or the central government, has paid enormous attention to the usage of data in the past few years, like the privacy act and the personal information protection act, to prevent the misuse of data," said Wu.

The University of Essex will recruit 150 new members of staff, amid a spate of planned redundancies and cutbacks at other universities as a result of a shrinking pool of students and political uncertainty.
Essex is to create 100 new academic and 50 new professional posts as part of the largest expansion of staff in its 55-year history. The university aims to grow student numbers by 5,000 to reach 20,000 by 2025.
Essex was ranked 31st in the Guardian university league tables for 2019, a rise of 17 places on the previous year.
The vice-chancellor of Essex, Prof Anthony Forster, said the recruitment drive is in response to "record levels of interest from applicants" to undergraduate and postgraduate places, combined with an increase in research funding.
According to a recent survey of 14,000 students by the Higher Education Policy Institute, students prioritise investment in staff and teaching quality on their courses over campus facilities. However a recent report suggests that universities spent over £3 billion on new buildings in the past year.
Essex's recruitment drive stands out in a higher education sector that is grappling with unprecedented financial pressure, with nearly one quarter of universities reporting that they were in deficit last year. Universities are blaming their deteriorating balance sheets on a combination of lowered forecasts for student recruitment, Brexit uncertainty, rising pension costs and rapidly shifting government policy, including the forthcoming Augar review of university funding, which is expected to recommend a cut in headline tuition fees from £9,250 to £7,250.
Since the beginning of this year, several universities in England have announced redundancies. Keele is planning to slash its staff budget by £8 million, Surrey is offering enhanced voluntary severance packages in a bid to make £5 million of savings, more than 50 jobs are at risk in Coventry University's faculty of health and science, Kent is planning an as yet undetermined number of redundancies and Winchester revealed redunancies in an email inadvertently sent to members of staff. Cambridge is also proposing staff redundancies as part of a drive to ease its £30 million deficit.
This follows universities warnings from several universities at the end of last year to prepare for redundancies. Among these were Cardiff University, a member of the elite Russell Group, and Reading University, which made a £20 million loss for the last financial year. Staff at the University of Gloucestershire are bracing for 100 job cuts and other redundancies.
In England, the lifting of the cap on the number of students universities can recruit combined with a demographic fall in the number of 18-year-olds has resulted in a competitive new market in higher education. This means that the highest ranking universities are able to recruit students who would typically have gone to lower-ranking institutions.
In February, the University of Essex announced that it had suspended a lecturer for posting anti-semitic messages on Facebook.

The 10 Finest Pigs In Literature
© Jim Champion/Flickr
Lily Cichanowicz
Ever noticed the power of the pig motif throughout literature? They are iconic creatures that represent a multitude of characteristics in many influential works of writing, spanning from ancient times to today. From playing roles of historical significance to starring in tales of friendship and good character, these pigs deserve some recognition. Here's are list of the 10 finest pigs in literature.

Babe, the Gallant Pig
Babe was the protagonist of the 1983 novel Babe, the Gallant Pig written by Dick King-Smith and illustrated by Mary Rayner. The story is set in rural England, where Babe is the only pig on a sheep farm. This is because a sheep farmer won him at a fair, and his wife intended to fatten him up for their Christmas feast. Yet, the family sheep dog takes the frightened little piglet into her care and introduces him to sheepherding. He eventually achieves success as a shepherd as he learns that the sheep will obey him if he asks them politely. Talk about a great lesson for us all! Babe was made into a film in 1995.

Piglet from Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh burst on the scene as a collection of children's stories in the 1920s. It featured several anthropomorphic stuffed animals including a teddy bear, tiger, kangaroo, rabbit, donkey, and of course, pig. The pig's name is Piglet, and he is the best friend to the main character, Pooh. He is a timid creature who is small in stature, but throughout the show Piglet repeatedly faces his fears making him a symbol of the bravery and valiance that resides in everyone, even in the most unlikely of characters. Piglet played an even more prevalent role in the Soviet adaptation of Winnie the Pooh where he also replaces the role of Christopher Robin.
Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others | © Gasketfuse/Deviantart.com
First published in 1945, Animal Farm is a literary classic by George Orwell. It serves as a political allegory about Russia's descent into a totalitarian communist regime. The story features several different pigs including Old Major, Napoleon, and Snowball. Like all the animals in the novella, the pigs represent various personas and groups of individuals involved in the Russian Revolution and Soviet era. Old Major, a prized boar, represents the founder of the new form of society called 'Animalism,' which makes him analogous to Karl Marx. Napoleon, who insists on using the force of his brutal dogs to keep the animals in line with the new ideology, represents Stalin. Snowball is Napoleon's rival and is said to symbolize the likes of Trotsky. Talk about historically significant pigs!
Charlotte's Web – collage of original pen + ink sketches 1952 by Garth Williams | © Paul K/Flickr
Charlotte's Web
The 1952 novel Charlotte's Web was written by E.B. White and illustrated by Garth Williams. It is a story of friendship centered around two unlikely creatures: Charlotte, a spider, and Wilbur the pig. Wilbur is a young and vivacious pig, though he is also the runt of his litter. The farmer who owns Wilbur was going to slaughter him because of this, but his daughter saved him from this fate. Charlotte befriends Wilbur in a time of desolation, and she helps him avoid his destiny for slaughter on multiple occasions by creating webs in his pigpen that attest to his best qualities. He is thus deemed too special a pig to be eaten, and Wilbur remains friends with Charlotte's descendants for years to come.
Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake is the first book in the MaddAddam Trilogy, which centers around a dystopian version of our current world that is as frightening through its eerie plausibility as any Orwellian masterpiece. The novel depicts a futuristic world driven to ruin by multinational corporations. The pigs in this book play a disturbing role as 'pigoons.' Pigoons are a genetically modified version of the pigs we know and love today, bred for their organs. In fact, these pigs' official name was 'multiorganifer.' The pigs were bred on commercial farms and injected with stem cells for human organ growth. These are perhaps the most unsettling pigs in literature.
The Tale of Little Pig Robinson by Beatrix Potter
The Tale of Little Pig Robinson is part of the Peter Rabbit series. It was written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter and published in 1930. The story is meant to explain the reference to the pig in the Edward Lear poem, 'The Owl and the Pussycat,' who visits 'the land where the Bong-Tree grows.' Potter tells the story of a young pig whose aunts send him to buy groceries at the market. A sailor promises him treats and the chance to travel the world on his boat, and the little pig agrees. Upon boarding the ship, however, he realizes that the sailor was actually the resident cook on board. What's worse is that he is on the menu for dinner! Spoiler alert: ship's cat helps him escape. Talk about adventure!
Three Little Pigs | © Tagishsimon/WikiCommons
Another classic tale of compelling piggies on our list is The Three Little Pigs, and the story dates all the way back to the 1840s. This fable focuses on three young pigs who set out to build their houses: one out of straw, the other out of sticks, and the third out of brick. They built them in hopes of defending themselves against the big bad wolf who was intent on destroying their homes and eating them. The wolf succeeds in destroying the first pig's house of straw by blowing it down, and he does the same to the second pig's house of twigs. In the gruesome original version of the story, the wolf fails to knock down the brick house and enters through the chimney. The pig catches him in a cauldron of boiling water and then cooks and eats the wolf.

The Ass and the Pig by Aesop
The Ass and the Pig is one of Aesop's lost fables. Yet, this is only half true. The ancient story never caught on in the west, but it did gain popularity in the east. The tale actually has philosophical merit in that it serves as an example of the practical distinction between the immediate and the eventual outcome of good. Specifically, in the story a pig is given barley to eat and is then slaughtered for food. The ass is given the leftovers but refuses to eat them because he knows the ultimate fate that might be upon him if he does. The food symbolizes immediate gain while the fate of the pig shows that what might be good in the moment can ultimately lead to our demise. Sometimes pigs can impart wisdom too.
Empress of Blandings by PG Wodehouse
Empress of Blandings makes multiple appearances in the novel series by PG Wodehouse called Blandings Castle, and which was popular in the mid-20th century. She was an enormous sow belonging to Lord Emsworth who doted on her endlessly. She was a prized animal who won several titles in the 'Fat Big' division of the agricultural show in the area where they lived. She goes on several adventures in the novels, which usually revolve in some way around her large size and fondness for tasty snacks. Today there is a pub named after her in Hampshire, United Kingdom.
Pigs in Maus by Art Spiegelman
Pigs make an appearance in the graphic novel called Maus by Art Spiegelman. The novel serves as another allegory of sorts, focusing on Speigelman's family's experiences during and after the Holocaust. In the book, the mice represent the Jews and the cats symbolize the Germans. The pigs are intended to represent the Polish. Spiegelman faced some heat for this choice because of what an insult Polish people felt it was to be equated to pigs. Spiegelman claims to have chosen pigs to represent the Poles to convey the character of his father's dubious attitude towards this group.

Often you will hear scientists, skeptics, and cheerleaders for science lamenting the sad state of scientific knowledge among the population at large, at least in the United States. We continually get the message that our children are not being properly educated in science as compared to other countries, and this leads to all manner of hand-wringing. However, as some recent research suggests, it may not be true. In fact, the state of science education and scientific literacy in the United States may actually be better than almost all other nations and – dare I say it? – getting better!
Scientific Literacy: How Do Americans Stack Up?
… according to a Michigan State University researcher, while Americans are holding their own, they are not even close to where they should be.
Participating at 3:45 p.m. PST today in an American Association for the Advancement of Science symposium, titled "Science Literacy and Pseudoscience," MSU's Jon Miller said that Americans, while slightly ahead of their European counterparts when it comes to scientific knowledge, still have a long way to go.
Now, I have to agree that an adult scientific literacy rate of 28% is unacceptable, especially at the beginning of the 21st century. However, the fact that we started out at around 10% in the late 80s (yikes!) and have almost tripled the scientific literacy rate gives me some real hope for the future of our species.
I found out just this weekend that there is a grassroots movement in the state of Louisiana to repeal its so-called "academic freedom" law. Now why would anyone want to be against academic freedom? Because, plain and simple, these kinds of laws are nothing more than a front for pushing nonsense pseudoscience (specifically creationism) in public science classes.
**Aside: For reference, Louisiana is currently the only state in the United States which has a so-called "academic freedom" law, but you can be sure that creationists have their eye on moving things in the same direction in other states (such as in Oklahoma, where a similar bill is under consideration).
The big problem with the "academic freedom" language, which sounds good on the surface, is that it is intended solely as a vehicle to get non-science & pseudoscientific ideas into the public science classroom. In this sense, it is the latest variation on the old, debunked "teach both (all) theories" or "teach the controversy" tactics employed by creationists in years past. The intent behind the term "academic freedom" suffers from the same errors as these previous versions: it elevates blatant non-science (or pseudoscience) to the same level as established science, and this leads to all manner of confusion in students. Would we consider doing this in, say, a history class whereby we allow teachers the "academic freedom" to teach Holocaust denialism on an equal level with the well-established history of the Nazis & World War II?
In my opinion, the "academic freedom" laws are even worse than their progenitors, because since they are so broadly worded (and not limited explicitly to science) they could be applied to any subject. Hence, my made-up scenario about Holocaust denial above could conceivably be protected under such a law, even though Holocaust denial is utter rubbish & nothing more than racist historical revisionism. Taken to the logical conclusion, such laws basically take the notion of objective reality and toss it right out the proverbial window.
Building upon a grassroots effort last winter that was successful in fighting off efforts to insert creationism into Louisiana science textbooks, Baton Rouge Magnet High School Senior Zack Kopplin is helping lead an effort to have the Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA) repealed during the Louisiana Legislature's 2011 Regular Session. State Senator Karen Carter Peterson (New Orleans) has announced that she will sponsor the repeal legislation.
The misnamed and misguided Louisiana Science Education Act, which was passed and signed into law in 2008, is stealth legislation to encourage Louisiana public school science teachers to include creationist materials in their curriculum. In Livingston Parish Louisiana, school board members explicitly cited this law last summer in their push to mandate that creationism be made part of the science curriculum for the 2011-12 school year.
It represents the the best thinking in American science, the best thinking in American religion, and it also reflects the United States constitution.
Kopplin rightly views the legislation as costumed creationism – ridiculous Trojan horse legislation that lets instructors teach scientific "controversies" where none exist. He understands that when pseudo-scientific "supplemental" materials are used to critique scientific theories (such as evolution or gravity), a false balance results: ungrounded speculations are placed on par with the overwhelming scientific consensus.

No doubt, this guy was expressing his disapproval of homosexuality – in fact, it seems he may have been involved in a hate crime, hence the photograph and media coverage. I'm also guessing, given the emphasis on the Bible, that this fellow's also a fundamentalist Christian, someone who claims that they get their morality from a "literal" reading of the Bible.
While hilarious, I think this points out something crucial in the mindset of most people who refer to themselves as Biblical "literalists": they are, essentially, hypocrites. You see, most Christians who claim that mantle for themselves are just posturing, though they may sincerely believe it, because what they want is to have their particular interpretation of the Bible to take precidence above all others (including those of many other Christians). They are interpreting the Bible, just like anyone else, yet they refuse to accept that's what they are doing.

"Creationism Is True!" — Okay, Which Version of Creationism?
A recent conversation on the comments section of this blog has caused me to write about a question that often plagues me when discussing the whole issue of creationism: namely, if creationism were a true & accurate account of the universe, which version of creationism is true & accurate?
One of the biggest fallacies made by creationists seems to be that, in their apparent zeal to tear down the well-established science of evolution, they fail to realize that there are many different kinds of creationism out there. Not only that, but many of these differing creationist views are not compatible with one another, a fact which makes certain creationist claims to be "the truth" rather embarrassing seeing as how they conflict not only with modern science but other kinds of "truthful" creationism. And the fact that most of these people come to these conclusions through a supposedly "literal, inerrant and truthful" reading of the Bible opens up even more questions.
In answer to that question, I think we shouldn't really be scared at all. When you crunch the latest numbers, the probability that Apophis will actually impact the Earth in 2036 is about 1-in-250,000. If you work that out to a percentage, it comes out to a 0.0004% chance the asteroid will hit Earth. That's a pretty slim chance, and certainly nothing to get all upset about, in my opinion.
So that means that you are about twice as likely to die by being suffocated in a plastic bag as compared to the chances that this "killer" asteroid Apophis will wipe out planet Earth. Stop and think about that for a moment… now, are you suddenly going to start demanding the recall of all plastic bags from society in order to protect humanity? No? Good.
Now, please don't get me wrong – I think the issue of tracking & cataloging near-Earth objects (NEOs) is a very important one, precisely because we have solid evidence that NEOs such as asteroids & comet fragments can and do hit the Earth. In fact, this happens all the time, but the regular impacts are from smaller objects; the big, "planet-killer" type objects are fewer in number so the chances of one coming our way is comparatively small. But it could happen, and with the implications being what they are (i.e., the destruction of human civilization on Earth being among the worst-case scenarios) it would be prudent for us to invest at least some resources into these questions. And we have invested such resources into NASA's NEO Program.
So, in conclusion, is the sky falling with regards to Apophis? No.
Should you go buying your own "asteroid apocalypse" bunker? No.
Should we then turn a blind eye to the potential threat of NEOs? No.
Should we invest a reasonable amount of money into researching this issue? Yes.
Interestingly enough, one thing we really can do when Apophis makes its closest approach to Earth in 2036 is use the opportunity to learn more about asteroids and the early solar system. In fact, some scientists already have plans to use Apophis as an amazing research opportunity!
If you'd like to know more about Apophis, and the related physics & astronomy behind it, I suggest taking a look at this entry over at Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy blog.

SQL compilation error: The command is not supported from the UI: PUT

The error is self-explanatory, the PUT cannot be run via WebUI.

PUT
The command cannot be executed from the Worksheets Worksheet tab page in the Snowflake web interface; instead, use the SnowSQL client to upload data files, or check the documentation for a specific Snowflake client to verify support for this command.

Is there any direct method to put data into Snowflake straight from MySQL DB, without downloading data into CSV format?

Yes, you can use any kind of ETL tools/cloud service available on the market that supports MySQL as source and Snowflake as target.

194 F. 2d 598 - United States v. Shneer
194 F2d 598 United States v. Shneer
SHNEER.
United States Court of Appeals Third Circuit.
Argued October 16, 1951.
Decided February 29, 1952.
Lester J. Schaffer, Philadelphia, Pa. (Gray, Anderson, Schaffer & Rome, Philadelphia, Pa., on the brief), for appellant.
James P. McCormick, Asst. U. S. Atty., Philadelphia, Pa. (Gerald A. Gleeson, U. S. Atty., Philadelphia, Pa., on the brief), for appellee.
Before GOODRICH and KALODNER, Circuit Judges, and KIRKPATRICK, District Judge.
KALODNER, Circuit Judge.
The issue on this appeal is whether the defendant was entitled to withdraw his plea of nolo contendere as a matter of right in the circumstances, after sentence was imposed.
Three indictments were found against the defendant; only one is here involved. This indictment charged the defendant with violation of 18 U.S.C. Section 80 (1946 ed.)*, in that he caused his co-defendant, one Shipton, to make false and fraudulent statements in a "Veteran's Application for Surplus Property for Business or Occupational Use". The offense was alleged to have been committed on or about December 6, 1946, and the indictment was filed on December 21, 1950.1 On February 21, 1951, the defendant was arraigned and entered the plea of not guilty, having previously entered the same plea on the other two indictments. Motions to dismiss the indictments for failure to give necessary information for a proper defense were filed on February 9, 1951. It appears that the Assistant United States Attorney agreed to give defendant's then counsel the additional information he desired. On March 5, 1951, counsel for defendant stated in open court that the information had been furnished, and therefore withdrew the motions to dismiss stating that he believed that if the motions were granted new indictments could be returned. On the same day, the plea of not guilty as to each of the three indictments was withdrawn, and a plea of nolo contendere entered. On March 19, 1951, the defendant was sentenced to pay fines on two indictments, and on the indictment here involved was sentenced to pay a fine and to undergo imprisonment. On March 24, 1951, acting through the same counsel, defendant presented to the sentencing judge a petition for modification of the jail sentence alone on the ground of the ill health of his mother. The request was denied, after hearing, on April 5, 1951.
On April 13, 1951, the defendant, having engaged new counsel, presented a motion to set aside the judgment of conviction upon the indictment here involved, and to permit him to withdraw his plea of nolo contendere. The motion was accompanied by affidavits of the defendant, his brother-in-law, and former counsel. The motion was predicated upon manifest injustice. The substance of the motion was that the Assistant United States Attorney had assured defendant's counsel that if the plea of not guilty were withdrawn, defendant would be sentenced to pay a fine and would not be sentenced to imprisonment, and that the Assistant would recommend to the court that the defendant be sentenced only to pay a fine. The motion further recites that the indictment was defective for improper joinder, and that prosecution was barred by the statute of limitations; this was advice given to the defendant at the time of the making of the motion. Finally, it states that if the assurances of the Assistant had not been given, defendant would have persisted in denying his guilt. Counter-affidavits were filed by the Assistant United States Attorney, another member of the United States Attorney's staff, and a Special Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. A hearing was held by the District Judge who imposed the sentence, and the testimony of the defendant's former counsel, the defendant's brother-in-law, Briskin, the Assistant United States Attorney, and others, was received, and argument was had. Thereafter, the motion was denied. This appeal followed.
The motion was grounded upon Rule 32(d) of the Rules of Criminal Procedure, 18 U.S.C. This Rule provides: "Withdrawal of Plea of Guilty. A motion to withdraw a plea of guilty or of nolo contendere may be made only before sentence is imposed or imposition of sentence is suspended; but to correct manifest injustice the court after sentence may set aside the judgment of conviction and permit the defendant to withdraw his plea."
Certain of the issues of law which arise are well-settled. We have reviewed them in United States v. Colonna, 3 Cir., 1944, 142 F.2d 210. A motion such as this is presented for the sound exercise of the discretion of the District Judge, and is reviewed on appeal to determine whether that discretion has been abused. The principle has been recognized without exception. Similarly, the classic instances held to warrant withdrawal of a plea of guilty involve force, ignorance, fear, fraud, and inadvertence or mistake. Finally, the burden of persuasion rests upon the defendant who seeks to withdraw his plea. Stidham v. United States, 8 Cir., 1948, 170 F.2d 294; Bergen v. United States, 8 Cir., 1944, 145 F.2d 181. Most often, the facts adduced lead the tribunal to the conclusion that the defendant, at the time of entering his plea confidently expected leniency, but without deviation it has been held that this conclusion presented no basis for withdrawal of the guilty plea, even though the defendant was surprised by the severity of the sentence. Williams v. United States, 5 Cir., 1951, 192 F.2d 39; Stidham v. United States, supra; United States v. Norstrand Corp., 2 Cir., 1948, 168 F.2d 481; United States v. Colonna, supra. So also where there is an expectation that no imprisonment will be imposed. United States v. Denniston, 2 Cir., 1937, 89 F.2d 696, 110 A.L.R. 1296, certiorari denied 301 U.S. 709, 57 S.Ct. 943, 81 L.Ed. 1362.
Having in mind these principles, we turn to an examination of the record in this case.
On the issue whether the Assistant gave a promise or guarantee to the defendant's counsel, we agree with the District Judge that the latter's testimony differs from his affidavit in substance, and that the testimony falls short of the mark. The attorney testified that he did not consider any statement made to him by the Assistant as a promise or guarantee, that he recognized the Assistant could not commit the Court, and that after the sentence, he did not consider himself over-reached. Moreover, the District Judge, within his province, did not credit the testimony of Briskin, that the Assistant repeated the assurance to him just prior to the change of plea; in this respect we think his conclusion unassailable.
The defendant, however, states that he is not concerned with what transpired between the Assistant and his former counsel. His position is that he was misled when he changed his plea to nolo contendere. He says it is uncontradicted that his attorney told him he would not be imprisoned, and therefore, whether his attorney was misled or merely misunderstood the Assistant is irrelevant.
We agree with the defendant that the critical issue now is whether he changed his plea in reasonable reliance upon misrepresented information, limiting the issue to the fact that the misrepresentation, however innocent, was made by the defendant's counsel, an officer of the Court. Cf. People v. Walker, 1911, 250 Ill. 427, 95 N.E. 475. The District Judge, at the time of the hearing also recognized the point stating that if he found that the defendant was misled, he would allow the withdrawal of the plea and the entry of a plea of not guilty.
Our examination of the record does not bear out the defendant's contention with the clarity necessary to warrant a holding that the District Judge abused his discretion.
Defendant's former counsel and the Assistant agree that following the arraignment of February 21, 1951, they met so that the Assistant could furnish counsel with additional information which the latter considered necessary for proper preparation of a defense. It is an unsettled issue whether at this meeting they also discussed the fact that no one in a similar case had been imprisoned in the District on a plea of guilty. The defendant's former counsel testified that this discussion occurred on a prior date. The Assistant placed it at the meeting of February 21, and in this he was supported by the testimony of another member of the United States Attorney's legal staff. The Assistant further testified that this portion of the discussion was prefaced by counsel's request for his opinion as to what the sentence would be if the defendant changed his plea.
At the hearing in the District Court, defendant's former counsel testified that on February 22, 1951, the day following the arraignment, he met with the defendant and Briskin. He said he told them of his conversation with the Assistant, and suggested to the defendant that he thought the practical thing to do under the circumstances would be to withdraw the plea of not guilty and enter a plea of nolo contendere. The former counsel also testified that he told the defendant that the information he received from the Assistant was that the defendant would not go to jail.
The former counsel did not testify in further detail as to what he told the defendant, except that he advised him a plea of nolo contendere would be regarded by the court as though it were a plea of guilty. Furthermore, the implication on the record is that counsel did not tell the defendant of the conversation with the Assistant as to the sentencing experience in the District. Briskin did testify that on February 22, when defendant was advised to change his plea, counsel stated that no one had gone to jail. It is indicated, also, that defendant took several days to consider the advice.
It would appear, therefore, that we are not concerned with a bald, conclusive misrepresentation. The suggestion on the record, and indeed of common sense, is that there was a much fuller discussion of the problem of changing the plea than was disclosed to the Court. We are not blind to the fact that in the situation presented, which is common enough, color of expression and atmosphere of communication are of primary importance. Statements taken out of context wholly distort the true picture and the real understanding. Textual changes and most of all, omissions, like the predetermined stroke of the artist's brush, effectively filter the light so that the product appears other than what it is, and hope of leniency or confident expectation becomes misrepresentation. Nor is it availing alone that defendant's counsel advised him that the practical thing to do was to change his plea. Cf. People v. Sciunzi, 1934, 140 Cal.App. 70, 34 P.2d 1044.
We cannot say that on this record the District Judge was required to hold that the defendant changed his plea solely upon misrepresented information.
In testing the exercise of discretion of the District Judge, we must look to the totality of factors which called his judgment into play, for only upon the total showing can we determine whether the defendant sustained his burden of persuasion on the issue of manifest injustice. At the time of the change of plea on March 5, defendant's counsel withdrew his motion to dismiss, and stated that if he had first concluded that the indictments were valid, the plea of nolo contendere would have been offered in the first instance. Moreover, defendant agreed to testify at the trial of one or two others, whose plea was changed for that reason. At the time sentence was imposed on March 19th, the defendant or his counsel did not apprize the Court of the circumstances now asserted. When the defendant, on March 24, presented to the sentencing Judge a petition to modify his sentence on the one indictment, he based it on peculiarly personal facts — his mother's illness. It was not until almost a month after sentence was imposed that the instant motion was made, again on the single indictment.2 The District Judge was entitled to take into consideration the failure of the testimony to support the motion and affidavits in material respects; certainly it weighed in the balance on the burden of proof. Finally, it is nowhere asserted that the defendant acted without knowledge of the nature of the charges, or even the penalty which could be imposed; and he knew the effect of the plea he was entering.
We hold that the Order of the District Judge denying the motion was well within his legal discretion. Indeed, we should add that if the matter were before us de novo, on this record we would reach a like result. Not only did the defendant fail to establish that the Assistant gave false assurance, but also the disclosure of his own discussions with his attorney was unsatisfactory. The picture presented, in our opinion, left much room for reasonable doubt, at the very least.
As a Court charged with the administration of justice, we are obliged to note particularly that the matter of pleading to criminal charges has always commanded close scrutiny. We should be unwilling to permit an evidentiary rule to overshadow the policy which demands utmost circumspection, and where the record suggests it, as this one does, we would not foreclose the opportunity to correct the deficiency. Here, in view of the opinion of the learned District Judge, we cannot be certain whether it was lack of credence or lack of adequate proof of misrepresentation, which led to the conclusion reached.
The case is hardly one for the indulgence of sensibilities. The true picture ought not to be over-clouded with guarded statements by the witnesses to avoid embarrassment. If cancer exists, the defendant is obliged to expose it, or he must suffer from his election.
We must remark, also, upon the failure of the defendant to testify. His affidavit states that he was imprisoned. But an affidavit is an unsatisfactory half-measure where oral testimony is adduced. At least one difficulty is that the affiant can mold his evidentiary statement to conform to the exigencies of the case. See Commonwealth v. Crapo, 1912, 212 Mass. 209, 210, 98 N.E. 702. A fresh example results from a comparison of the affidavits and the testimony in this case. There is no question of constitutional privilege. Commonwealth v. Crapo, supra. Therefore, in a controverted case such as this, where the defendant's understanding is in issue, there is every reason to expect the defendant to appear, unless he fears to undergo oral examination; if an order is necessary to accomplish a desire to appear, it should be applied for; and if applied for, should be granted.
We conclude, accordingly, that the Order of the District Court should be affirmed. Because of the state of the record, however, the affirmance will be without prejudice to such further proceeding as the defendant may wish to take in the Court below, on the issue of the advice upon which he changed his plea.
The Order of the District Court will be affirmed.
* 1948 Code Revision, §§ 287, 1001.
1. Whether the indictment was barred by the statute of limitations is apparently an open issue. Compare United States v. Gottfried, 2 Cir., 1948, 165 F.2d 360, certiorari denied 333 U.S. 860, 68 S.Ct. 738, 92 L.Ed. 1139; Marzani v. United States, 1948, 83 U.S.App.D.C. 78, 168 F.2d 133, affirmed by divided court, 335 U.S. 895, 69 S.Ct. 299, 93 L.Ed. 431; Id., 336 U.S. 922, 69 S.Ct. 513, 93 L.Ed. 1075. See also United States v. Dailey, 72 S.Ct. 260.
2. If the defendant's assertion that he was misled into his plea were sustained, the plea to the other indictments fit in the same category, since they were entered at the same time under the same facts. It is noteworthy that defendant raised no issue as to those indictments and does not choose to stand trial as to them.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release. It's evident within the initial seconds of Bpmd's American Made, as the legendary Bobby Blitz (Overkill) chants the introductory lyrics to Ted Nugent's "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" in his signature skyscraper-high howl, that he and his equally iconic bandmates - drummer Mike Portnoy (The Winery Dogs, Sons of Apollo), bassist Mark Menghi (Metal Allegiance) and guitarist Phil Demmel (Vio-lence, ex-Machine Head) - are here to have a damn good time. Featuring 10 unforgettable rock classics reimagined as heavy bangers, American Made is a party on wax. Tracks such as the raucous "Toys in the Attic" (Aerosmith) and rager-ready "Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers" (ZZ Top) prove that Bpmd not only manages to capture the essence of each original track on the album, but skillfully transforms each classic into an unforgettable metallic anthem for a new age. The seasoned quartet flex their musical muscles on renowned classics such as "Saturday Night Special" (Lynyrd Skynyrd), "We're an American Band" (Grand Funk) and "Walk Away" (James Gang), and introduce a whole new heavy generation to deeper cuts like blues standard "Evil" and "Never In My Life" (Mountain). Channeling nostalgia while maintaining a fresh attitude, American Made is a summer soundtrack for all ages!

            if(a == b)
                return true;
            else
                return false;
        }
}

When I call setA() in my main function by A a_in_main.setA(2) this A is a different instance than the one above with the arrow.
My question is how do I access the correct instance of A in the B function compare()?
I kind of think I need to use pointers but I am not sure. I have been looking all over the internet and I can't find anything concrete.
I edited this post and I hope this is more clear.

A: When declaring int a you are declaring that the class' instance will hold an int, not a reference to one.
When you're setting you also do the same in the function by passing the argument by value (which most likely copies in real world scenarios), so even if it was a pointer internally you could end up with your "reference" referring to a newly made copy.
Your member, and the signature of the functions handling it, need to be pointers or references of some flavor to an int, which will store the memory address it's located at, and when compared will compare memory locations and not the value stored in it.
The syntax for a pointer to a value of some type is type* var.
int* var, int *var, int * var are all equivalent, you will find it expressed all ways depending on the author.
You might also, depending on what the intended use of that member is, want to ensure it can't alter the data it points to const int* var.
It sounds like you're very early on in learning C++, some beginner books or YouTube videos might help. Wrapping referenced values in classes before you know how to make a pointer might be a sign of trying to run before being able to walk.

Early morning fire breaks out, destroys home
Published 2:52 pm Friday, December 2, 2022
WEST ORANGE — A West Orange home is a total loss after an early morning fire Friday, authorities said.
A caller alerted the West Orange Fire Department at approximately 2: 26 a.m. Friday and said flames were coming out the back bedroom window of the home on Crabtree Street, according to Chief David Roberts.
When firefighters arrived the structure was fully engulfed.
Roberts said responders called the city of Orange for mutual aid.
Firefighters were on scene for more than three hours.
No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is under investigation, Roberts said.
The fire department has not been able to reach the homeowner as of mid-morning Friday.


The story of Euro/Swiss Franc and US Dollar/Japanese Yen exchange rates is similar to that of EUR/CHF and EUR/USD and EUR/CHF and GBP/USD: weak "instantaneous" correlations, robust predictive ones. We now have evidence for three different exchange rates that "trigger" EUR/CHF -- too bad EUR/CHF is one of the least volatile forex rates!
Fig.1: comparing volatilities of hour-by-hour logarithmic returns in EUR/CHF (top panel) and USD/JPY (bottom panel) for the three trading sessions: Asia-Pacific session, European session, and the American session. The sessions are defined in New York time to be at least 12 hour long each. The histograms are normalized distributions of logarithmic returns.
Table 1: Hour-by-hour volatilities (RMS) for the time series of logarithmic returns in EUR/CHF and USD/JPY in various trading sessions in 2002-2008.
Fig.1 and Table 1 show that the volatilities of EUR/CHF and USD/JPY are grossly different, EUR/CHF being one of the least volatile among the freely floating exchange rates. USD/JPY is seen to be least volatile, suprisingly, in the Asia-Pacific time zone. As always in forex, at least on the 1-hour time scale considered, the distributions of logarithmic returns are not "bell-shaped", they are strongly non-Gaussian. The distributions look roughly triangular on the log scale. Therefore a lot more appropriate model for the tails would be an exponent, meaning the returns themselves (not the logarithms) follow a power law. An option buyer armed with the right pricing formula could capitalize on the fat tails (provided that the tails persist on the time scale of interest to such a trader) but one would not be able to make forecasts based on Fig.1.
Table 2: Pearson correlation coefficient for the time series of logarithmic returns in EUR/CHF and USD/JPY in various trading sessions in 2002-2008. Time frames of the sessions are shown in New York time.
EUR/CHF and USD/JPY are weakly positively correlated on average for the period, throughout the three trading sessions studied. These exchange rates are minimally correlated in the Asia-Pacific trading session even though one might expect that USD/JPY is actively traded there (but EUR/CHF probably isn't).
Fig.2: Cross-correlation of EUR/CHF and USD/JPY, derived from the hour-by-hour logarithmic returns, for the three trading sessions. Time frames of the sessions are shown in New York time.
The fact that most of the correlation is concentrated at the 0 lag means that the correlation (reported in the table) works out mostly on the time scale of up to 1 hour. For the purpose of forex trading system development, correlation amplitudes at non-zero time lags would be of particular importance. In Fig.2, such correlations are seen in this pair of exchange rates for all three trading time zones, in the +1 and +2 hour time bins. Curiously, even though the zero-lag bin is much lower for the Asia-Pacific time zone compared to the two other ones, this means little for the non-zero lag signals at +1 and +2 -- these are almost as high in the Asia-Pacific as they are in Europe and America. Fig.3 quantifies uncertainty of the correlation measurements by using random time series (martingales) to evaluate precision of these measurements.
Fig.3: Cross-correlation of EUR/CHF and USD/JPY for the European (Eurasian) trading session shown against the backdrop of statistical noise (red). The noise is obtained from martingale simulations based on the recorded volatilities of EUR/CHF and USD/JPY in this trading session for the period under study. The noise is presented as mean plus-minus 1 RMS, where RMS characterizes the distribution of the correlation value obtained for each particular bin by analyzing 20 independent simulated pairs of uncorrelated time series.
where "1" denotes EUR/CHF and "2" denotes USD/JPY, the positiveness of the time lags associated with the positive correlation signals means that similar things happen to rate 1 (EUR/CHF) at a later time after they have already happened to rate 2 (USD/JPY) at an earlier time. In other words, USD/JPY leads, EUR/CHF follows. Dependense of these correlations on time and LIBOR rates deservers a special study.

Boris Johnson's brother quits as adviser to Binance unit
Binance said on Monday Jo Johnson, brother of former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, had resigned from the UK advisory board of its unit, as the cryptocurrency industry braces for further pain in the aftermath of the FTX fiasco last month.
Johnson had joined Bifinity, a payments technology company that Binance launched in March this year, as an adviser in September, according to The Telegraph, which first reportedthe news of his exit.
Celebrities and other prominent proponents of crypto have sought to distance themselves from the nascent asset class after Binance rival FTX filed for bankruptcy last month following a liquidity crunch.
Crypto exchange Binance, however, suggested Johnson stepped down to manage his workload.
"Lord Johnson has recently taken on the role of Executive Chairman of FutureLearn. He will be focusing on his new role within the digital learning platform, and is looking to scale back other activities," Binance said in an emailed statement.
A spokesperson for Johnson did not respond to Reuters requests for comment.
Reuters reported in October that Binance had sought ways to circumvent regulatory scrutiny in Britain. Last year, the country's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) had also warned that Binance did not hold any form of permission to offer services regulated by Britain.

Remedy Gone Awry: Weighing in on Weighted Voting
By Wesolowski, Keith R.
The health of our republican form of government hinges on an equitable and proportional system of representation. In order to lay claim to legitimacy, a republican government must establish the means for electing representatives in such a way that all holders of the franchise are active and meaningful participants in the electoral process. In the latter half of the twentieth century, American jurists have understood this process as being one in which all voters have a comparable voice in selecting their representatives. (1) Such a voice must be comparable on two distinct levels: first, when citizens select their representatives, and second, when the representatives shape policy in their respective assemblies. (2)
The need for an accurate count was deemed so critical that the Founders mandated a census process in the Constitution. (3) The Constitution mandates that every ten years our nation attempt to count the people within its borders so that government can be adjusted to accurately reflect the needs and desires of the people.
The decennial census provides a method for determining the proper apportionment of representatives for the people. The census, however, is only the beginning of the process of establishing a fair apportionment. Once the people are counted, the responsibility for drawing and redrawing voting districts falls to legislatures. (4) Although in some respects it is desirable for legislatures to shape voting districts, the possibilities for abuse are especially palpable in this setting. There have been numerous cases, for instance, in which the legislative apportionment process was used as a means of reducing the effective voting power of racial minorities. (5) There have also been occasions in which the state legislature was unable to draw proper and fair voting districts. (6) In both situations, the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause (7) serves as the primary means of vindicating a citizen's rights, and the federal courts provide the appropriate forum. How the Fourteenth Amendment should be applied, however, is a significantly more ambiguous question.
This Note examines Korman v. Giambra, (8) a case in which political deadlock threatened to diminish the fairness of New York's apportionment process. Instead of drawing district boundaries from the bench when the legislature failed to apportion the districts correctly, a federal district judge for the Western District of New York instituted a system of weighted voting. (9) The result of the weighted voting system was not a new electoral map reflecting population shifts, but a change in the relative power of each elected representative to reflect the disproportionate sizes of their constituencies. (10)
In examining this temporary remedy, Part I explains the reapportionment situation that recently faced western New York and the weighted voting remedy devised by the court. Next, Part II reviews methods prior courts have used both to remedy and avoid equal protection violations in voting districts. In light of those more traditional methods, Part III then considers the weighted voting system with reference to "one person, one vote" principles, (11) maintenance of racial equity, and efficiency. This analysis also considers the potential for application of weighted voting systems in other short-term and long-term scenarios. Although there may be uses for weighted voting in the short term, this Note argues that too many costs result from long-term use.
I. FACTUAL SCENARIO AND DESCRIPTION OF REMEDY
A. Getting to the Courthouse in Erie County
New York's Erie County, which contains the City of Buffalo and its significant suburbs, had a seventeen-district legislative body in 2001 when the reapportionment dispute began. The New York State Constitution and the Erie County Charter require that the state and county legislatures readjust their legislative districts in accordance with population shifts made evident by the results of the federal census. …

Heading into the October LSAT: Updates Based on Lessons Learned
The Law School Admission Council will be releasing scores from the September LSAT — including scores from make-up tests — on Monday, October 14, as planned. We've been able to extend the registration deadline for the November test until 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, October 15, now giving September test takers 24 hours to see their September scores and decide whether they want to retake the test in November.
There are currently 19,600 people registered for the October test and 27,700 registrants for the November test. We guarantee that everyone who registers for the LSAT by the respective deadlines will have the opportunity to take the test. Our teams are working hard to place test takers in test centers that are as close and convenient to them as possible.
Based on the steady progress and lessons learned from the July and September test administrations, we are fine-tuning some of the rules for the October digital test which is offered in the United States, Canada, and Caribbean:
Test takers will now have the flexibility to use the built-in kickstand at any angle except straight up and down in order to angle their tablet for the most comfortable position and to deal with any potential reflection or glare issues in their testing room.
Based on feedback from test takers, we have upgraded the scratch paper provided to all test takers with stronger, whiter paper and a less prominent security watermark.
All test takers are allowed to bring standard No. 2 pencils to the test; for more information about what kinds of pencils are allowed, visit our Admission Requirements page. Highlighters are no longer allowed for candidates taking the digital test. Note: Candidates taking the test in paper format (international test administrations, certain accommodated test takers, etc.) are permitted to bring highlighters.
As a reminder, test takers may use either their fingertip or the provided stylus to choose their answers, navigate between questions, and access the various features of the digital test. Based on field testing and user feedback from July and September, it's clear some test takers prefer the stylus, while others prefer their fingertip. We encourage test takers to spend time on familiar.LSAC.org to familiarize themselves with the layout and features of the digital test before test day, and to try both the stylus and their fingertip during the tutorial session at their test center so they know what works best for them.
While a few test centers experienced technical issues or long wait times in September, most test centers had efficient check-ins and smooth test day operations. We won't be satisfied until every test taker has a smooth and positive test day, so we've been providing additional training, guidance, and technical support to our testing centers so they can deliver a great experience in October.
We're focused on identifying any problems from July and September and fixing them for October, but we've also received a lot of favorable feedback on the Digital LSAT. Test takers generally like the digital format, they find it smooth and intuitive, and they love some of the features, such as the time-remaining clock, the ability to flag questions to return to, and the ability to answer a question with a single click instead of filling in bubbles on a separate answer sheet. Many test takers have said they were initially skeptical about the digital format, but now prefer it to the paper test.
That said, we'll continue to review and analyze all the feedback we've received from July and September test takers and test center staff, and we'll continue to use that feedback to make the Digital LSAT even better.

Gift of Music, The
Home / Book / Gift of Music, The
List Price: 23.99
One of the finest achievements of Western culture is its brilliant heritage of classical music. A Gift of Music looks at the lives of the greatest composers who have given us this heritage, and especially at how their music was shaped by their beliefs.
The result is a remarkable and inspiring book, showing the importance of Christian faith for many composers, and the effect of this upon their music. But it also shows how the lack of faith has brought profound change in the meaning and form of contemporary music.
Thus A Gift of Music seeks to open up a whole new world of music―to encourage listening to the finest compositions with new understanding and pleasure, and to stretch our ears and imaginations. It is a book which will be greatly appreciated by those who already love classical music, and by others who want to explore this delightful world for the first time.

Lazio vs Fiorentina PREDICTION & BETTING TIPS - 06/01/2021
Today's Predictions Serie A Free Bets
Lazio vs Fiorentina Prediction was posted on: January 4, 2021
Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Genoa, Lazio will be looking to return to winning ways in the Serie A when they welcome Fiorentina at Stadio Olimpico in the Serie A round 16. The Biancocelesti will soon face a tough fixture list due to their Champions League commitments, and, no doubt, they will go all guns blazing at Fiorentina.
The Viola defeated ten-man Juventus in their last away game in the Serie A, but they failed to impress in the goalless draw with Bologna at the weekend. Fiorentina generally struggle on the travels, and that is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the capital club. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Ciro Immobile, who scored his tenth goal of the season in the draw with Genoa.

Lord of Dance coming to Abu Dhabi
Irish dance troupe will be in the UAE capital in June, but minus its famous creator Michael Flately.
FEET OF FLAMES: Michael Flately, the creator of the Lord of the Dance show, will not make an appearance in Abu Dhabi. (Getty Images)
Irish dance troupe Lord of Dance will be put on four performances in Abu Dhabi in June, the shows' organiser said on Thursday.
"Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC) will host four performances of Irish dance spectacular 'Lord of Dance' at Abu Dhabi Hall on June 23rd, 24th and 25th," a statement from ADNEC said.
Michael Flately, once the star of the famous show – which sees over 40 performers interpret famous Irish legends through the medium of dance – will not be coming to the UAE's capital, an ADNEC spokeswoman told Arabian Business.
Ticket prices for the shows will range from AED295 to AED795.
Lord of Dance shows are believed to have been watched by over a hundred million people around the world since they began in 1996.
"The incredible success of Lord of Dance is due to its timeless and universal appeal. Based on Irish folklore, this classic tale of Good vs Evil is expressed through the universal language of dance… This remarkable musical performance leaves no soul untouched," the statement said.
