FTC Commissioner Julie Brill to step down at end of March
Posted on March 28, 2016 April 1, 2016 by JD Lauritzen
On March 31, 2016, FTC Commissioner Julie Brill will step down from her post at the FTC, the FTC has said in a press release. FTC Commissioner Brill joins FTC Commissioner Joshua Wright as the second recent departure from the FTC. Brill has said that as of April 1, 2016, she will be joining the Hogan Lovells law firm as a partner and co-director of the firm's privacy and cybersecurity practice. "This is five months earlier than when my commission is actually up, so not much earlier than it would have been anyway," Brill remarked.
FTC Chair Lauds FTC Commissioner Brill's Work While at FTC
"Commissioner Brill has been an unwavering advocate for consumers and competition during her six-year tenure at the Federal Trade Commission," FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez said. "Commissioner Brill's expertise in consumer protection, privacy, and antitrust has been an asset to the agency, and we are sorry to see her leave. We wish her well on her next steps."
Brill, a Democrat, was appointed by President Barack Obama and sworn in on April 6, 2010. Prior to joining the FTC, FTC Commissioner Brill was the Senior Deputy Attorney General and Chief of Consumer Protection and Antitrust for the North Carolina Department of Justice. Before that, she served as an Assistant Attorney General for Consumer Protection and Antitrust for the State of Vermont for over 20 years.
FTC Commissioner Brill's Work Has Focused on Privacy and Personal Data
In her time at the FTC, FTC Commissioner Brill has been one of the FTC's foremost vocal proponents of the need for companies and organizations to collect and use sensitive consumer data in a responsible way, and to handle it with care to prevent unauthorized access by hackers. She has touted the FTC's use of its broad consumer protection authority to bring enforcement actions in this area against companies including Facebook, Twitter, and Google.
As it relates to antitrust matters, FTC Commissioner Brill has dissented on occasions when the FTC didn't attempt to block certain proposed mergers. For example, she objected when the FTC cleared the merger of rival pharmacy-benefit managers Express Scripts Inc. and Medco Health Solutions Inc., and when the FTC allowed Reynolds American Inc. to acquire rival cigarette maker Lorillard Inc.
Brill's Future Plans
In commenting on her future plans, FTC Commissioner Brill has said:
I'm looking forward helping companies navigate an increasingly complicated regulatory and legal environment when it comes to privacy and cybersecurity. Helping companies and other stakeholders understand what they need to do to follow the law and engage in best practices that goes beyond what the law calls for.
FTC Commissioner Brill's Thoughts on the IoT, the Differences between the FTC and FCC, and where the Ad Tech Industry Can Imporove
In a recent interview with AdExchanger, Brill was asked about the Internet of Things (IoT), the differences between the FTC and FCC, and where the ad tech industry needs to improve when it comes to respecting consumer privacy. In response to a question about consumer responsibility, Brill said:
Consumers do have responsibility to understand their data and to protect it the best way they can. But the data collection and use that consumers face online, on their mobile apps and with connected devices, will be much too complicated for them to navigate on their own. And once we get to the world where the Internet disappears and where all of our devices will automatically connect, it'll be harder for consumers to deal with this. Companies need to proactively help consumers. Consumers' attention is a precious resource and needs to be engaged when truly necessary: Like when there's going to be data shared with an unexpected third party, or for a use beyond the ways consumers would expect given who they're interacting with. There's a real problem when it comes to third-party data collectors like ad networks. Advertisers and ad networks really need to step up to the plate to provide more usable tools for consumers, so they can understand who these third parties are that are collecting this information.
When asked about the differences between the FTC and FCC, Brill replied:
The FCC will only be involved with certain types of companies, for example, telcos or ISPs. The FTC does not have jurisdiction over common carriers. When the FCC declared ISPs to be common carriers, it took away our jurisdiction over ISPs. Not that we've done a whole lot involving ISPs, but we've brought a few important cases, including one still pending. The FTC has long been involved with privacy and data security. The FTC uses the deception and unfairness authority under the FTC Act, where we proceed against companies engaged in deceptive or unfair acts. We have the authority to enforce various statues like COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act), certain aspects of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and other laws that touch on privacy, like CAN-SPAM (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) and aspects of aspects of HIPAA HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act). We also have very broad, remedial authority to use the unfair and deceptive acts and practices authority. The FTC has the authority to obtain redress and to place companies under orders for a long period of time if we so choose. The most important authority we have that the FCC doesn't is the ability to get redress for consumers. On the other hand, the FCC has the authority to write rules and seek penalties. We have some penalty authority under the FCRA and COPPA, but we don't have general civil penalty authority, which the FCC does. You can see why I've said it's an increasingly complicated landscape.
FTC Commissioner Brill Admits to Being Victim of Email Phishing Scam
Even though Brill has been a top privacy watchdog while at the FTC, she recently recounted a story where she herself was the victim of an email phishing scam. While most people, including FTC Commissioners, would not want the public to know they fell victim to an email phishing scam, this is not true of Brill. In fact, Brill has been quite candid regarding her encounter with the email phishing scam.
"These are not the prince-from-Nigeria types of attacks of the past that we're used to," Brill said in a recent interview. "These are deeply sophisticated." According to Brill, a business colleague of hers, Gene Kimmelman, president of the consumer group Public Knowledge, sent her an email with an innocuous-looking Google Drive attachment. However, after clicking on the link and entering some of her personal information on the resulting landing page, Brill quickly realized that she was not sent to a Google page at all.
Rather, the page Brill was sent to was the product of online criminals who had pried their way into Kimmelman's email account and began sending fake emails in his name to everyone in his contact list. Brill said, ""I was busy, I saw an email from this person, I opened it, tried to interface with it. And I pretty soon realized this was a false email from [someone] who was trying to get my data."
Fortunately for Brill, even though she entered some of her personal information in the fake Google site, she made sure the criminals could not hijack her own email accounts. Brill had taken advantage of two-factor authentication, a security measure that prevents someone from logging into a website unless they can also reproduce a special code sent to a separate device such as your mobile phone. Two-factor or two-step verification has been adopted by Google, Amazon and other major websites to combat the rise of digital fraud.
The loss of information took place on Brill's personal computer, so nothing in the FTC's systems was affected, she said. But she did consult with the agency's IT managers. "Once they found out I had two-factor authentication and I had changed some passwords, they were comforted that I had done all that I could do," said Brill. "If it had been an attack on our systems, they would have jumped into high gear right away."
So, the question is how did the hackers break into Kimmelman's address book in the first place? That is anyone's guess, and is a mystery that may never be solved. "It was either a random hack, or someone . . . knew those on my contact list would expect me to have secret documents to share," Kimmelman joked in an email. "If not a random hack, my reputation may be ruined!" Kimmelman has since switched email accounts.

Earlier this year, the American Heart Association (AHA) called for a nationwide reduction in daily salt intake, along with tighter government and industry regulations regarding the levels of standard table salt (Sodium Chloride) found in everyday foods.
The AHA's previous suggestion – set forth in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans back in 2005 – called for a maximum upper limit of 2,300 milligrams of salt daily . Most experts now believe that this figure is much too high for the average person, and have lowered the official recommended limit to 1,500 mg per day.
Readily accepted estimates hold that the majority of people consume about twice this newly prescribed amount (roughly one and a half teaspoons of pure salt) each day as part of their regular diet. The bulk of this coming from pre-packaged and restaurant foods. While it's no secret that the standard American diet is less than ideal, these figures are still cause for concern.
In addition to high blood pressure or hypertension, increased heart attack risk, stroke, and kidney failure are all well known side effects of an increased daily intake of salt. The medical costs of treating these, and other conditions related to excessive table salt intake, also takes a serious toll on our collective pocketbooks.
Current research suggests that by lowering our daily salt intake to match the new 1,500 mg AHA recommendation could reduce mortality due to stroke and heart disease by as much as 20 percent, and save the nation upwards of $24 billion in health care expenses annually.
It's also important to keep a close eye on the quality of salt that goes into your body, not just the quantity. Hidden toxins found in processed sodium chloride, or table salts, are often overlooked by even the most diligent of consumers. Even sea salt, and other so-called natural forms of sodium, may contain tag-along contaminants simply because the are gathered from polluted sources.
These tag-along contaminants typically include impure forms of iodine, as well as sodium ferrocyanide, and magnesium carbonate. The latter of which is known to depress function of the central nervous system and trigger cardiac disturbances, especially in larger servings.
Besides cutting back on restaurant and other "convenience" foods, which are well documented sources of sodium, the best way to avoid these less obvious hazards is to use only unprocessed salt that is naturally free of environmental toxins when cooking at home. And even when using a top-quality salt, it's still important to limit your daily salt intake.
Ralph Sacco, M.D., president of the American Heart Association:"Americans deserve the opportunity to choose how much sodium is in the food they eat. By supporting measures that will reduce sodium in the overall food supply, we are giving consumers the freedom to select foods that could allow them to meet sodium recommendations and improve their ideal cardiovascular health."
Himalayan crystal salt is among the purest in the world. Not only is does its remote, isolated source ensure that it is free of pollutants, but because it's gathered and processed, and organically packaged entirely by hand, it's guaranteed to be safe when it reaches the dinner table.
Unlike other forms of salt, which can be toxic to the body, Himalayan crystal salt contains 84 minerals and rare trace elements that actually have many benefits for us.

Pumping sewage water towards people residences in Qalqiliya
Violation: pumping sewage water
Location: Kfar Qadum/ Qalqiliya
Perpetrators: the army of the Israeli occupation
The troops of the occupation pumped high-pressure sewage water to disperse a peaceful march in the village of Kfar Qadum. It should be marked that 9 Palestinian residences were affected by that act of vandalism, which contradicts humanity as a whole.
Photo 1: parts of the houses on which sewage water was pumped
A victim of this act Yassin(36) to the LRC researcher said the following: "Around noon of Friday, residents were getting ready to pray when a occupation force accompanied by two tanks for sewage water marched towards the village from the south. Soldiers pumped sewage water on residences and fences where some of that water reached inside of the house leaving a stinky odor that lasts for days. Pollution and health hazards occurred as a result".
It should be marked that this is not the first the occupation attacks the residents by this means. On contrary, such an act has happened frequently and repeatedly in Kfar Qadum. It should be also mentioned that the residents of the village have been organizing marches each Friday, heading towards the southern entrance of the village that has been shut down since 2002. The occupation enforced closure on that entrance and used the nearby area for the favor of for the expansion of Kedumim colony.
The closure has come under the pretext of maintaining the security of Kedumim colony that is located on 6500 dunums from Kfar Qadum. The shut down was forced within a systematic plan starting from banning outsiders from passing, letting only the residents of the area pass on feet and then closing the whole entrance. This contradicts with all international conventions especially Geneva convention, which stated the following:
Article 56 :"The property of municipalities, that of institutions dedicated to religion, charity and education, the arts and sciences, even when State property, shall be treated as private property. All seizure of, destruction or wilful damage done to institutions of this character, historic monuments, works of arts and science, is forbidden and should be made the subject of legal proceedings."
About Kfar Qadum village:
It is located 25km east of Qalqiliya city and is of 20,000 dunums in area of which 1,382 dunums are built-up area. More detailed, 2500 dunums of the village are considered pastoral and around 5000 dunums are subjected to colonial interest especially the colony of Kedumim. The percentage of the agricultural lands in the area is 85% of arable land planted with olives.
About Kedumim:
The colony of Kedumim is located on the once-was Jordanian military camp in the southwestern part of the village. It was established in 1975 with a total land area of 1090 dunums and a population of 3290 colonists.
It should be mentioned that the authorities of the occupation put hands on the nearby hills to establish in 1982 the outpost of Kedumim 'Ailet on 533 confiscated dunums. The outpost is inhabited by around 300 colonists.
It should be also marked that by the beginning of 1990, Kedumim colonists looted a vast area of lands from Kfar Qadum to establish the colony of Gilad Zohar. This colony totals around 753 dunums in area and populates 1053 colonists.

Leadership Development – here and there!
Marge and Ken have been committed to leadership development in Africa since 1970, when they worked alongside a Zambian pastor and planted a village church. The congregation still meets!
Since then they have pastored a church in Kitwe, Zambia – now led by a Zambian. They have directed a church in Mombasa, Kenya – now led by a Kenyan. The Bible College academics were directed by them in Mbale, Uganda – a position now occupied by a Ugandan. They trained teachers to instruct the Bible in Goibei, Kenya – a program now led by the national church.
In 2013 they were developing leaders here and there. In Canada, and in Uganda. For a year prior to the mission, Marge and Ken met with Scouts/Venturers, preparing to take them to Uganda to drill water wells. Leadership development in Canada. The trip was a great success, and the 15 members of the team learned much about a different culture and way of life. During our time in East Africa, the Canadians developed friendships and relationships that they still enjoy!
As we plan our next mission in 2014, we keep the focus – train leaders so that they can train leaders so that they can train leaders….

Bishop Richard Stika gets newscaster Kris Farley of WATE-6 TV to lose her composure.
I received good news today from Catholic Charities of East Tennessee - my donation of photographic services at their annual dinner helped to raise $107,347 for the evening! Wonderful!
Keynote speaker, local radio personality Hallerin Hilton Hill, delivered a powerful message of being your brother's keeper.
Good times during the pre-dinner cocktail hour.
This money means that Catholic Charities can assist thousands of persons across East Tennessee - regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, creed, or religion - in meeting their needs. I am especially honored to know that I assisted in raising funds for Columbus Home, their program for children who have been abused or neglected. We are approaching April, which is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. That cause is dear to me: I hate seeing the vulnerable being abused and sadly children are all too often the victims. I was fortunate to have two loving parents who raised us in a good home, but who also imparted on us the importance of giving back.
Kris Farley interviews Judge Tim Irwin on his program within the Children's Emergency Shelter during the event.
The audience is appreciative during the presentations.
In the Catholic faith, we often hear that stewardship is supported by our time, talents, and treasures. For whatever reason, God gave me the ability to create an image with a camera. The least I can do is to use it to serve His people. I support Catholic Charities and I hope this blog post can get their message out there. I invite you to visit their website to learn more about their work to bring charity to our area.
I am always happy to run into my friend, Justin Cardinal Rigali, at any diocesan event.

INWIT: the development of digital infrastructures as accelerators of inclusion
Events, People
Also this year, INWIT will contribute to the 4W4I event with the webinar 'Connecting to include: digital infrastructures at the service of citizens and territories'.
4 Weeks 4 Inclusion is the largest inter-company marathon dedicated to diversity and inclusion. Started on 14 November, it will see 250 partners including companies, universities, associations and non-profit organisations interface with each other through events and webinars, to show how inclusion and diversity can become a strategic factor for business and an added value for all.
INWIT's participation
The digital divide in recent years is one of the major causes of the socio-economic and cultural divide. There is therefore a strong need to build a more inclusive and sustainable digital society, guaranteeing access to as many people as possible. The development of digital infrastructures throughout the country will make it possible, on the one hand, to bridge the digital divide, bringing adequate connectivity even to inland and remote areas of the country and, at the same time, to enable the use of emerging technologies (such as the IoT) that will make it possible to transform our cities into smart cities in which advanced services, sustainable management of resources and attention to the needs of citizens will be the cornerstones of a new model of urban development. It is precisely with a view to supporting the development of a 'Smart Italy' that the process of evolving our towers into 'Tower-as-a-service' is taking place: an increasingly intelligent and sustainable infrastructure, capable of both accelerating the spread of ultra-fast networks and becoming a technology centre – in which IoT components and communication systems merge – capable of enabling innovative services with decisive impacts in every sector.
INWIT, on 28 November at 15:00, will be a partner of the 4W4I event with the webinar 'Connecting to include: digital infrastructures at the service of citizens and territories'.
Register and follow live
INWIT's commitment
INWIT, contributes to closing the digital divide thanks to its more than 23,000 towers, capillarily spread throughout the territory (one tower every three kilometres) and more than 6,900 microcells, supporting telecommunications operators with infrastructures capable of offering state-of-the-art connectivity and services, which are indispensable for bridging the digital divide in our country and leaving no one behind.
For us, the commitment on the digital divide is central and also a fundamental part of the 'S – Social' declination of ESG, to which we have also devoted great importance in our Sustainability Plan. The paradigm shift must take place according to an idea of equity of opportunity, putting technology at the service of inclusive sustainability. Reducing the digital divide creates the conditions for equality and equal opportunities.
In fact, as emerged from our recent market survey, conducted in collaboration with the Piepoli Institute, the Italian population attributes a high level of importance to the activities promoted by INWIT: monitoring of the territory (89%) and the motorway network (85%), followed by the deployment of wireless networks (85%) and the development of Smart Cities (83%).
On the company's internal front, a D&I team was set up with the aim of fostering people's well-being and development. An initial target achieved was the definition and approval by the Board of Directors of an ad hoc D&I Policy.
The company is also one of the signatories of the Women's Empowerment Principles, promoted by the Global Compact and UN Women to support companies in promoting gender equality in the workplace, marketplace and communities. Our commitment has also been recognised by our inclusion in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) 2022, which measures gender equality, diversity and inclusion in companies.

WHY: This event is part of the Global Climate Strike, a series of coordinated actions happening in hundreds of cities all over the world between September 20 and 27 and represents a widespread escalation in the movement to stop those fueling the climate crisis. Other local events can be found at https://climatejusticesf.org/
––Spokespeople are all available for interview. Contact Hilary McQuie 510-333-8554 ––
Isabella Zizi, Idle No More SFBay: "As Indigenous Peoples, we understand the imbalance and devastation that Mother Earth and the sacred system of life is facing right now as the Amazon is burning and our glaciers are melting. The younger generations are depending on us to take initiative upon our own hands and protect their future."
Idle No More SFBay is a group of Native Americans and allies working to create positive change concerning Indigenous rights, the rights of Mother Earth, and the rights of the coming generations to a sustainable and healthy environment.
Hilary McQuie, Diablo Rising Tide: "We're coming together to demand that the banks that are funding the Climate Crisis divest immediately from fossil fuels extraction and infrastructure, and start repairing the damage by investing in frontline communities and a just transition."
Diablo Rising Tide is the local chapter of Rising Tide, an international grassroots network that promotes community-based solutions to the climate crisis and take direct action to confront the root causes of climate change.
Nancy Feinstein, 1000 Grandmothers: "Grandmothers know, in every cell of our bodies, that our love for our children, and all children for the next 7 generations – means that we must each step forward in this climate crisis; – we must unite with others, to do everything we can, to shut the fossil fuel industry down. NOW."
1000 Grandmothers is a group of elder women activists working to address the climate crisis.
Pennie Opal Plant, Society of Fearless Grandmothers: "As older women, many of us didn't realize the horrible price for what we enjoyed in the latter part of the 20th century which created a theft of the future of the younger ones. The climate emergency is critical and the majority of elected officials and policy makers have not acted fast enough. It is up to us to interrupt business as usual."
Society of Fearless Grandmothers is a group of grandmother age women who understand that we have an important role in ensuring the safety and future of humanity.
Alycee Lane, Extinction Rebellion SF:"We act because our climate crisis is a racist crisis. It is a crisis Wall Street perpetrated on the backs of those who contributed least to climate change and yet are most harmed by it – Black people, Indigenous people, people of color and poor communities here and around the globe. We act, therefore, as a matter of justice."
Extinction Rebellion SF is the local chapter of an international organization that uses nonviolent civil disobedience in an attempt to halt mass extinction and minimize the risk of social collapse due to climate change.

The action culminated a 3-day 34-mile march at the front door of the banking giant's global headquarters with an Indigenous grandmother's led sit-in across the front doors and a simultaneously organized barrel blockade across San Francisco's iconic California Street.
Below is 350 Silicon Valley's press release and lots of reasons Wells Fargo needs to be put out of business:
SF Rally Targets "OilyWells" Fargo's Funding of Big Oil
Alarmed by Climate Crisis, Hundreds Expected as Multi-Day March Ends
PALO ALTO, CA – At a mass rally in front of Wells Fargo Bank's global headquarters at noon (PDT) today, demonstrators will call on Big Oil's largest lender to halt its financing of fossil fuels and invest instead in clean energy solutions to the climate crisis
The rally aims to expose another aspect of the scandal-plagued bank's unethical practices—its central role in the ever-expanding oil and gas industry—at a time when the U.N. has called for "rapid and far reaching" action within 12 years to avert environmental, social and economic catastrophe caused by ever-rising carbon emissions.

The rally caps the historic 3-day March for Fossil Fuel Freedom (34 miles from Palo Alto to SF) with hundreds of marchers from more than 50 Bay Area grassroots organizations. Marchers paused at a series of "stagecoach stops" to hear talks by former Richmond Mayor Gayle McLaughlin, Redwood City Mayor Ian Bain, and other prominent environmental and labor activists; and to sing along with The Raging Grannies and Thrive Street Choir. The march and associated events are all part of a campaign, led by 350 Silicon Valley, to rename the nation's fourth largest bank "Oily Wells."
"Oily Wells has a dirty-energy secret, backing the biggest new projects and profiting handsomely from climate chaos" says Stew Plock, vice president of 350 Silicon Valley, lead organizer of the rally. "If they don't quit, then consumers and investors should quit them."
The bank is a leading lender to the fracking industry and on pipelines carrying Canadian tar sands, one of the most environmentally damaging sources of fuel (including the proposed Line 3 in Minnesota and Keystone XL in the Midwest). [EDITOR'S NOTE: For more on Wells Fargo's dirty-energy funding, see the 10th annual Fossil Fuel Finance Report Card, led by Rainforest Action Network, embargoed until March 20.]
Barrel blockade.
"We urge Oily Wells to become the first major U.S. bank to avoid all fossil fuel infrastructure projects, as a few big European banks have already begun to do," says Isabella Zizi, an organizer with Idle No More SF Bay. "If you cut off the flow of money, you can cut off the flow of oil. That's why the divestment movement is so important."
350 Silicon Valley's partners include SEIU 1021 and 521, Sierra Club, Diablo Rising Tide, Idle No More SF Bay, Rainforest Action Network, Sunrise Movement, California Interfaith Power & Light, Sunflower Alliance, and Extinction Rebellion. They join hundreds of other groups in calling for divestment from fossil fuels, and a prohibition on oil and gas infrastructure.

Why the Green New Deal needs mass direct action
By sparki March 11, 2019 March 12, 2019 Announcements, Featured News, Front, RT Newswire
Mass action in Germany.
Last weekend in San Francisco, my friends and I with Diablo Rising Tide hosted two friends from Germany on the "Scale Resistance" tour that Rising Tide has organized with radical climate group Ende Galaende. The talk left me thinking a lot about resistance (the real kind, not the stuff being sold by Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and the corporate Democrats). The Green New Deal is currently capturing the imagination of the progressive climate movement and becoming a centerpiece of climate "resistance." But it needs a massive social movement moving forward at a large scale, taking serious action, at its foundation to succeed.
For the past 5 or 6 years, Ende Galaende ("Here and No Further" in English) has organized a massive nationwide coalition, that includes everyone from small radical groups to big green non-profits, to stop lignite coal mining in Germany. Their demands were an immediate phase out of lignite coal mining. Rooted in the anti-nuclear movements of a previous era, their tactic was mass disruption of coal infrastructure. Their action campaigns included mass direct actions numbering in the thousands at open pit coal mines in the Rhineland region and a multi-year tree sit in the Hambach Forest.
This critical direct action campaign has put the German political establishment on the defensive around coal and climate issues. The establishment responded with an agreement for a 20 year phase out of coal in Germany, not an immediate one as demanded by Ende Galaende. Their campaign continues.
Nationally in the U.S., the fossil fuel infrastructure fights have also challenged the legitimacy of the oil and coal industries. The hard fought campaign in the bayous of Louisiana has stopped Energy Transfer Partner's Bayou Bridge pipeline for at least a year. Indigenous led resistance to Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline has also put the future of that pipeline into question. In Appalachia, the locally led campaign against the Mountain Valley Pipeline that has included long term tree-sits and disruptive protest along the construction route has also delayed the completion of that project. The purveyors of the Keystone XL pipeline are also bracing for a massive social movement response. Last week, the state of South Dakota passed a set of anti-pipeline protest bills targeting both people in South Dakota, as well as any outside groups that provide support. There are dozens of these state laws being passed or proposed.
Globally, the climate and environmental uprising is spreading with ferocity as well:
Barefoot lockdown in Gibberagee State Forest.
Australia: About 40 protestors took action in the Gibberagee State Forest in protest of illegal logging of koala habitat. A number of activists locked onto Forestry Corporation machinery. The action follows claims by North East Forest Alliance that an audit found the Forestry Corporation was only protecting half of the koala trees is it required to. Among the protestors was veteran forest activist Nan Nicholson, who was instrumental in saving the forest at Terania Creek in the late 1970s.
Australia: In late February, Adani's Abbot Point Port was targeted by anti-coal activists. Trains were stopped in a near continuous shutdown for over 75 hours during a week of non-violent direct action in central Queensland. Seven activists from across Australia, all committed to fighting the threat of thermal coal induced climate change, took action against Adani. The seven scaled fences, evaded drones, locked themselves to rail infrastructure and suspended themselves from trees and tripods to block coal trains from entering the port.
Finland: Climate protesters climbed Finnish Parliament House pillars. Members of several Finnish environmental groups demonstrated at the Finnish Parliament on 6 March. Eight protesters were detained after scaling the giant stone columns.
Scotland: About 20 conscientious climate protectors stayed in the National Museum of Scotland on behalf of Extinction Rebellion Scotland after closing time. They sat in to protest the 'oil club' dinner being hosted there tonight. A group of over 900 oil executives from the UK and beyond were gathered in a national museum and monument to celebrate their own relevance and profit-making from the destruction of the climate. 12 of our friends were arrested rather than leave after police warnings.
Greta Thunberg.
Climate Strikes: Across the globe, students and youth are taking action with walkouts and mass protests to protect a future that older generations (particularly those in political and corporate offices) don't give a shit about. Another mass climate strike is expected on March 15th.
The Sunrise Movement is already using direct action in pushing members of Congress for the Green New Deal. It kicked off with hundreds sitting in at Nancy Pelosi's Capitol Hill offices in November with 51 arrests. A couple of weeks later on Dec. 10th, Sunrise followed up with a massive Green New Deal lobby day that included sit-ins and 143 arrests. In response to GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell trying to stop the Green New Deal before it starts, 43 climate activists were arrested in his Capitol Hill offices in late February. In a stunning response, McConnell postponed the vote where he'd hoped to stop the Green New Deal's march through Congress.
As Naomi Klein recently penned in the Intercept,
"I have written before about why the old New Deal, despite its failings, remains a useful touchstone for the kind of sweeping climate mobilization that is our only hope of lowering emissions in time. In large part, this is because there are so few historical precedents we can look to (other than top-down military mobilizations) that show how every sector of life, from forestry to education to the arts to housing to electrification, can be transformed under the umbrella of a single, society-wide mission.
Which is why it is so critical to remember that none of it would have happened without massive pressure from social movements. FDR rolled out the New Deal in the midst of a historic wave of labor unrest: There was the Teamsters' rebellion and Minneapolis general strike in 1934, the 83-day shutdown of the West Coast by longshore workers that same year, and the Flint sit-down autoworkers strikes in 1936 and 1937. During this same period, mass movements, responding to the suffering of the Great Depression, demanded sweeping social programs, such as Social Security and unemployment insurance, while socialists argued that abandoned factories should be handed over to their workers and turned into cooperatives. Upton Sinclair, the muckraking author of "The Jungle," ran for governor of California in 1934 on a platform arguing that the key to ending poverty was full state funding of workers' cooperatives. He received nearly 900,000 votes, but having been viciously attacked by the right and undercut by the Democratic establishment, he fell just short of winning the governor's office.
All of this is a reminder that the New Deal was adopted by Roosevelt at a time of such progressive and left militancy that its programs — which seem radical by today's standards — appeared at the time to be the only way to hold back a full-scale revolution."
We're in a moment that needs massive social movement pressure to break through political and corporate barriers to respond to the climate crisis. Following the lead of organizers from our past, in other parts of the world today, the anti-infrastructure movements and the revitalized youth climate movement, it's time to scale up and say "here and no further."

History made with the launch of the ACFTA
After months of delay due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the African Continental Free Trade Area was officially launched on the 1st January 2021.
African countries have officially begun trading under the new continental free trade agreement.
The AFCFTA primary aims to being together over 1.3billion people in a $3.4 trillion economic bloc, which will be the largest free trade area since the World Trade Organisation was established. Predicted estimates forecast the free trade agreement could lift tens of millions of people out of poverty by the year 2035. The trade agreement is primary in place to boost trade among fellow African nations, as the continent has previously received low internal trade.
Backers claim that trade among fellow African nations will increase substantially and thus allowing the continent to establish its own value chains of distribution. Every African country is participating in the agreement, except from Eritrea, with a total of 54 nations involved.
Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo indicated "There is a new Africa emerging with a sense of urgency and purpose and an aspiration to become self-reliant. COVID-19 has demonstrated that Africa is overly reliant on the export of primary commodities, overly reliant on global supply chains, when the global supply chains are disrupted, we know that Africa suffers."

Nigerian Land Boarders to Reopen Soon Says President
After much debate, President Muhammadu Buhari has announced that the Nigerian Government are considering re-opening the land boarders 'as soon as possible'.
The land boarders have been closed since August 2019 to decrease the level of illegal food and agricultural products being smuggled into Nigeria from neighbouring countries.
President Muhammadu Buhari announced the intention via social media on Tuesday, tweeting 'In my meeting with State Governors today I explained that the closure of Nigeria's land borders was partly an attempt to control the smuggling in of weapons & drugs. Now that the message has sunk in with our neighbours, we're looking into reopening the borders as soon as possible."
Zainab Ahmed, The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, revealed last month that issue had been indicated and will be brought before the President to make a final decision.

Nigeria's land borders to be reopened soon, minister announces
Nigeria's land borders may be reopened soon after been closed since August 2019.
Zainab Ahmed, The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, gave a announcement yesterday during a interview with the State House correspondence. Ahmed stated that the presidential committee which implemented the restrictions were pleased with the outcome and recommended the reopening of the borders.
Nigeria closed its land borders in August 2019 to halt the illegal importation of automotive products and parts into the country from neighbouring West African countries.
She indicated the committee will shortly submit a report to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, and a formal announcement on the matter will be made on the matter following from his decision.
Although Ahmed stated that the committee were pleased with the regulations, she did not indicate when the report will be submitted to the president or when the land borders will be officially open.

Car import levy slashed from 35% to 5%
The federal government is implementing plans to decrease the levy paid on imported cars from 35 percent to just five percent.
This is contained in the draft of the 2020 finance bill to be presented to the national assembly.
The implemented bill becomes in place once it is passed by the legislature and acknowledged by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Information of the bill shared by the president also highlights that the import duty of Tractors and motor vehicles for the transportation of goods has also been dramatically decreased from 35 percent to 10 percent.
To improve ease of doing business, the bill also proposes that software acquisition now qualifies as capital expenditure.
Zainab Ahmed, the minister of finance, budget, and national planning, had previously explained that the reduction in import duties and levies is targeted at reducing the cost of transportation.
"The reason for us is to reduce the cost of transportation which is a major driver of inflation especially food production," she told state house correspondents on Wednesday 18th November at the federal executive council.
Last year, Hameed Ali, the comptroller-general of the Nigeria Customs Service have purposely encouraged the federal government to reduce the levy on imported cars to 10%. A tactic to decrease the importation of smuggling or importing from neighbouring countries.

Q: How to match partial words in elastic search text search I have a field name in my elastic search with a value of Single V
Now if i search it with a value of S or Sing , i don't get no result , but if i enter a full value Single , then i get the result Single V, the query i am using is as following :-
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "name": "singl"
    }
  },
  "sort": []
}

This gives me no results , do i need to change the mapping/setting for name or analyzer ?
EDIT:-
I am trying to create the following index with the following mapping/setting
PUT my_cars
{
  "settings": {
    "analysis": {
      "normalizer": {
        "sortable": {
          "filter": ["lowercase"]
        }
      },
      "analyzer": {
        "my_analyzer": {
          "tokenizer": "my_tokenizer"
        },
        "tokenizer": {
          "my_tokenizer": {
            "type": "ngram",
            "min_gram": 1,
            "max_gram": 36,
            "token_chars": [
              "letter"
            ]
          }
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "name": {
        "type": "text",
        "analyzer": "my_analyzer",
        "fields": {
          "keyword": {
            "type": "keyword",
            "normalizer": "sortable"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

But i get the following error
{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
        "reason" : "analyzer [tokenizer] must specify either an analyzer type, or a tokenizer"
      }
    ],
    "type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
    "reason" : "analyzer [tokenizer] must specify either an analyzer type, or a tokenizer"
  },
  "status" : 400
}

A: Elasticsearch by default uses a standard analyzer for the text field if no analyzer is specified. This will tokenize "Single V" into "single" and "v". Due to this, you are getting the result for "Single" and not for the other terms.
If you want to do a partial search, you can use edge n-gram tokenizer or a Wildcard query
The mapping for the Edge n-gram tokenizer would be
{
  "settings": {
    "analysis": {
      "analyzer": {
        "my_analyzer": {
          "tokenizer": "my_tokenizer"
        }
      },
      "tokenizer": {
        "my_tokenizer": {
          "type": "edge_ngram",
          "min_gram": 2,
          "max_gram": 6,
          "token_chars": [
            "letter",
            "digit"
          ]
        }
      }
    },
    "max_ngram_diff": 10
  },
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "name": {
        "type": "text",
        "analyzer": "my_analyzer"
      }
    }
  }
}

Attorney General Becerra Announces $68 Million Multistate Settlement with UBS for Manipulating Key Interest Rate
California's state and local government entities and nonprofits are expected to receive approximately $9 million
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced a $68 million multistate settlement with UBS for fraudulent conduct involving manipulation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). LIBOR is the rate at which banks lend money to one another and is a key financial tool that determines interest rates for many financial products, including government and corporate bonds. During the financial crisis, large international banks manipulated LIBOR to enhance their financial health, avoid negative publicity, and minimize harm to their reputations. They did so at the expense of investors.
Attorney General Cynthia H. Coffman Announces $575M Multi-State Settlement with Wells Fargo
Colorado to receive over $21M to resolve consumer protection claims of alleged unfair and deceptive trade practices
Attorney General Cynthia H. Coffman announced that Colorado has joined with 49 other states and the District of Colombia in a $575M settlement with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. to resolve state consumer protection claims for alleged unfair and deceptive trade practices.
Through this settlement with 50 states and the District of Columbia, Wells Fargo will also create a consumer redress review program through which consumers who have not been made whole through other restitution programs already in place can seek review of their inquiry or complaint by a bank escalation team for possible relief. To date, this settlement represents the most significant engagement involving a national bank by state attorneys general acting without a federal law enforcement partner.
As part of its settlement with the states, Wells Fargo has agreed to implement within 60 days a program through which consumers who believe they were affected by the bank's conduct, but fell outside the prior restitution programs, can contact Wells Fargo to be reviewed for potential redress. Wells Fargo will create and maintain a website for consumers to use to access the program and will provide periodic reports to the states about ongoing restitution efforts.

Poland raises 1 billion euros to reinforce its environmental engagement
Big Success of the Second Sovereign Green Bond Issuance aimed at financing environmental projects in Poland
The Republic of Poland successfully issued its second green bond, which proceeds will be spent to finance environmental projects in line with the Polish Green Bond Framework. The funds will be used in sectors of renewable energy, clean transportation, sustainable agricultural operations, afforestation, national parks or reclamation of heaps.
The significant demand that reached EUR 3.25 bn exceeded Ministry of Finance's expectations enabling to grow the planned value of the issuance and to determine its final size at EUR 1 bn. Societe Generale acted as joint book-runner on this second senior unsecured green bond with maturity of 8.5 years.
At the end of 2016, Poland was the first sovereign ever tapping the green bond market and is now the first sovereign with two green bonds outstanding. So far, only Poland, France and Belgium issued Green Bonds in Europe.
Green bonds are a booming asset class, with the ability to give momentum to the entire Sustainable & Positive Impact Finance movement
Krzysztof Walenczak
Chief Country Officer of Societe Generale Branch in Poland
The transaction attracted a broad demand. More than 170 investors participated in the deal, with French investors buying almost a quarter of the issue, followed by German and UK investors who accounted for 19% and 14% of total allocation. By investor type, asset managers and banks took the lion's share of total books, with 67% and 16%, respectively.
A large representation of SRI specialist investors (over 40%) and a significant share of Polish investors (about 10%), which demonstrates a growing interest of Polish companies in socially responsible investments
Piotr Nowak,
Deputy Minister of Finance
The Ministry of Finance announced further interest in green bond issuances in the future.

Tibetan Freedom Concert Photo Book Celebrated in New York

Members of New York's enlightened rock set turned out at Irving Plaza Wednesday to honor photographer Danny Clinch, who's just released When the Iron Bird Flies, a collection of powerful images taken from the past four Tibetan Freedom Concerts. With the walls of the venue decorated with stark shots from the book, musicians took to a makeshift, carpeted stage on the Plaza's floor, with couches and chairs set up for attendees to make themselves comfortable in the intimate setting. Though the photos and Tibetan Freedom Concerts — meant to bring about awareness of Tibet's political situation — were the focus of the evening, the moving performances were an equal rival.
Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley accompanied Spanish-speaking singer Christina Rosenvinge in a brief set that kicked off the evening, with little of the former musicians' predilections towards dissonance and feedback. Instead, Ranaldo and Shelley seemed content to play backing musicians (Ranaldo on keyboards and guitar, Shelley on drums) to the low-voiced singer, whose gentle vocals were so quiet, Clinch had to come out and ask the audience to "keep your conversations about a free Tibet" to a minimum so others could hear her.
Also turning in performances were ex-Shudder to Think frontman Craig Wedren (whose four-song set was virtually a cappella, riding on his near-operatic vocals), Warren Haynes (who covered the Beatles, Hendrix and, fittingly, U2, who had just performed at the venue the night previous) and bassist Leonard Hubbard and vocalist/noisemaker Rahzel from the Roots (who previewed a new genre they called "jazz-hop").
Though he had canceled earlier interviews in the day since he wasn't feeling well, Beastie Boy and Tibetan Freedom Concerts organizer Adam Yauch made a brief appearance as well. Despite the recent relaxing of sanctions allowing western rock music into China, Yauch doesn't think it necessarily means that western ideas will follow shortly. "I'm not sure if China is really opening up to the West," Yauch said. "I don't know what affect that will have on the government. The situation in Tibet hasn't gotten any better as of late. If anything, they've cracked down more and the oppression has increased."
"The main tangible result of the Tibetan Freedom Concerts is that it's getting more awareness about the situation amongst young people in the U.S. and abroad," he continued. "It hasn't had an effect yet, but I think it will. Ultimately, more and more people are finding about the cultural genocide that's going on there, and the human rights violations, and I think that the more people that know about that, the more change can come about."

The world is changing at an incredible rate; deforestation, rising sea levels, global warming and our reliance on fossil fuels means that many species of animals and plants are finding their habitats under threat. This unfortunately means that for wildlife there is a lot you have to see now otherwise it may be too late.
Swimming with sharks is definitely not for the faint hearted adventurer. Despite being in a very strong cage the sight of a huge (usually around 14ft long) Great White coming towards you is probably a stomach churning moment. Although you can dive with sharks in other places around the world the dives off the South African coast are generally considered the best. So if you have the guts and really love wildlife then you'll have no problem being suspended in a cage 40ft under water with huge sharks circling.
Brazil is home to most of the largest rainforest on earth and the world's widest river, both of which are named the Amazon. Much like Madagascar the Amazon Rainforest is home to a huge amount of unique and extremely rare wildlife. In fact most scientists believe that there are probably close to 4million different species of plants and animals in the rainforest- many are still undiscovered. There are two main ways to see the wildlife; you can either do it via river boat as you head down the river, or you can trek through the dense jungle on foot with a guide. Both offer a different perspective of the areas unique ecological offerings; from colossal trees and plants to jaguars, anteaters and sloths I can almost guarantee that you won't leave without seeing at least some animals.
Madagascar is an unexplored gem when it comes to holiday destinations. And that is fair enough if all you're looking for from a holiday is a beach and some good cocktails; but for wildlife lovers it is not acceptable. Around 90% of all the living things in Madagascar are completely unique and cannot be found in the wild anywhere else in the world. Not only are these animals rare but they are also absolutely fascinating; for example every species of lemur on the planet can be found in Madagascar, as well as chameleons, orca, flying foxes and hippos. Oh and if that wasn't enough the beaches and cocktails in Madagascar are as good as anywhere!

I recently discovered the Lollia line of skin care in TK Max, once again a sucker for pretty packaging; the lovely shabby chic design of the box immediately made me WANT IT RIGHT THERE AND THEN…..
The fragrance of this one was Grenadine and Tonic. Obviously this was chosen for the subliminal references to gin….
And the cream itself is a really light and non greasy one. It absorbs into the skin really quickly and smells AMAZING. I get dermatitis occasionally from being daft and not wearing gloves when playing with hazardous irritants (whooooooooops) and this did not irritate it at all despite it being highly fragranced.


The question is very deep. And very important. Why do you coach? Answer the question truthfully and be able to share it with whoever asks.
It doesn't have to be a killer answer that sounds like you just made it up, yet brilliant. It can be thought about, over time, and shaped into a precise, sincere statement. You also have to leave yourself open to modifying it as you gain experience.
Linz: "For the love of the game "
Theo: "To teach the youth of today!"
Randy: "To reinforce all the best of what sports offers-short term and long term."
Allie: "I always felt like I had a really good understanding of the game and what each player could bring the game ... And I found it rare to find a well educated coach who knew how to let the players shine with their individual skills - rather then try and conform them to an "idealistic" view of what they think a player should be ... I just wanted kids to know that there is no such thing as the "perfect" player...everyone brings what they can"
Dancer: "Because I feel I have something to offer"
JJ: "To give kids the chance to be something great and to keep them from going down the path of peer pressure."
Carmine: "To teach the game as it should be played, of course."
Frank (not me) : "To try to generate the love I have for the games in the kids"
@7-touch-coachng: "I coach because I love soccer. I coach because I want to share my passion. I coach because teaching fundamentals is critical."
@SoccerCoachYYC: "To give back to the game. To help kids be better people. To serve my community. And because its (usually) so much fun!"
Randy has the unique task of introducing new high school students to football every year; teaching technique, physical training, coaching to compete and organizing a team at the same time, for a lot of students who have very little sports background. Victories perk up that school for days. He does good work.
My favourite answer was from my sister-in-law Andrea, who is not involved in sports : "To share in the joy of empowerment." This statement speaks to me of confidence, expression, ownership, enjoyment, etc.
So, here we are ... why do YOU coach?
In my opinion, your most important non-technical moment during the season is your parent meeting.
Don't ever underestimate how important your team parents are. They drive your players to where you need them to be. They pay the bills. They have incredible influence on how receptive your players are to your coaching and philosophy. What they say in the car before and after your games can undo weeks of work at training.
I have always had parent meetings in one form or another but I never appreciated how useful they could be until my oldest son started playing travel hockey in Welland. During my first parent meeting, as a parent, I also wore my coaching hat taking mental notes. That was in 2001.
Your parents have to be made aware of as much as possible about your program. They are trusting you with their children 2-4 times/week and you need to establish as much trust as possible. You also want as much buy-in as possible to help move your program along.
Set a location away from the field, and not around training. Separate night and time, an event all on its own.
Confirm your location and required equipment. Only once did I leave it a little "loosy goosy"and the facility ended up being unable to serve our needs. Thankfully it was in the time of cell phones and we were able to quickly adjust.
Seriously consider if you want to invite the players. I never did as I wanted parents to feel free to ask me ANYTHING.
Take the time to get to know your parents, have a little social time together, but take the actual meeting time seriously and be professional.
I always had it within a meeting room of a local restaurant or pub. It allowed for social time after and suited those who came from work and might be hungry.
Ensure you give enough notice so at least one parent from each family can attend.
Give advance notice if your treasurer is collecting money that night.
In modern times, you should have a social media policy for your team.
I am big on the parent meeting. Here is my reflection of my parent meeting for the 2012 season. (I wrote in my reflection that I was considering inviting the players, but that idea lasted about two hours. It's possible that I might have hit my head on the cement and blacked out for a few hours.) My intention was to set my parent meeting up to avoid any and all misunderstandings during the season. My first and still assistant coach, Rino Berardi, set me straight on this back in 1989 and it's been very helpful. I was always fortunate enough to have parents on my team who had older children playing travel sports and asking questions I had not thought of ... and nipped those in the bud the following year.
Just as you would prepare for practice, you need to prepare for the parent meeting. Know your program inside-out and make sure your presented philosophy is sincere. If you are pretending to be somebody you're not, the real you will come out soon enough.
You want to share as much information as possible to avoid surprises for the families. Do yourself a favour and avoid surprises yourself. If you have jobs that require a lot of interaction or confidentiality, approach those parents in advance and assign those jobs. And make sure you have several duties available for any parents who want to be involved. Parental involvement is great for the group and gives kids a chance to see their parents in another capacity.
If you coach house-league, a lot of these issues may not need covering (budget, travel, etc) but your parents deserve the same respect in terms of meeting with you and knowing your program. The children they trust you with are just as precious as the children in the travel program.
A new issue for coaches this year (2012) is answering questions about LTPD. There are very valid questions that will be asked by parents and you should be prepare to answer them to the best of your abilities.
Check with your club to ensure there are no policies with respect to team parent meetings. Some sporting associations ask that an executive member or technical director be present.
Stay aligned with your club's policy on team bank accounts. Many clubs are moving to a system of having one main bank account with sub ledgers for each team.
If at all possible, try to host the meeting at a location that sponsors your club. Nothing builds goodwill like 30 parents walking through the front door!
Your parent meeting should not be seen as pressure, but rather the launch party for a peaceful and enjoyable season where you are left to do what you love; coach.


Office works like administration is not only a job that need well-organized people who only capable of using office software like words, excel and powerpoint. There are some more software can be learned to help doing the works especially if the works are various and piled high. Try to use a little computer science in every action to automate the work.
Many software like pdf page counter can help the counting of files especially like documents and put them organized and easy to managed. It can also count the jpeg and tiff files.


Bahía Salinas (Salinas Bay) is located in the northwest of Guanacaste Province, very close to Nicaragua's border. This bay is very valuable for the locals, partly because its turquoise waters are inhabited by magnificent marine ecosystems, where people can find a great variety of animal and vegetable species.
Salinas Bay is well-known for its strong winds, which create ideal waves to practice surf and windsurf. Furthermore, lots unspoilt beaches such as Pochotes Beach, Papaturro Beach and Copal Beach are located nearby.
In the bay's surroundings, you can visit Santa Rosa National Park and Bahia Junquillal National Wildlife Refuge. Moreover, the bay has some islands with important ecological value, like Bolanos Island, where you can spend a relaxing day surrounded by nature.

Escala de Jacob
Post author By Digital Tourism Team
No Comments on Escala de Jacob
This flight of steps in Samboan that goes all the way down to the coastal highway is called Jacob's Ladder or Escala de Jacob.
It was named after Jacob, the biblical ancestor of the 12 tribes of Israel who in his dream saw a ladder extending all the way from earth to heaven, explained the Filipinas Heritage Library.
Before the coastal highway that snakes around the island of Cebu was constructed, the steps that ascend up to the town center, which is located on a plateau over 200 feet high, began on the seashore. A portion of the stairway was demolished to make way for the coastal road.
Built in 1878 upon the instruction of then parish priest Fr. Toribio Gerzon, the hand-carved staircase of flat stones and lime was intended to make it easier for parishioners in the low-lying areas to attend mass.
Like any Spanish settlement in the Philippines, the central complex was where all the important buildings were located. In the case of the Philippine pueblos, the blueprint was for the settlement center to host the church, rectory, municipal hall, and plaza.
In the case of Samboan, the St. Michael Archangel Parish Church was built atop the plateau and best accessed from the lowlands through the Escala de Jacob.
The staircase, now made up of 147 steps, immediately ends at the town's three-storey Campanario de Antigua (Ancient Watchtower).

Q: Row number in Sybase tables Sybase db tables do not have a concept of self updating row numbers. However , for one of the modules , I require the presence of rownumber corresponding to each row in the database such that max(Column) would always tell me the number of rows in the table.
I thought I'll introduce an int column and keep updating this column to keep track of the row number. However I'm having problems in updating this column in case of deletes. What sql should I use in delete trigger to update this column?

A: You can easily assign a unique number to each row by using an identity column. The identity can be a numeric or an integer (in ASE12+).
This will almost do what you require. There are certain circumstances in which you will get a gap in the identity sequence. (These are called "identity gaps", the best discussion on them is here). Also deletes will cause gaps in the sequence as you've identified.
Why do you need to use max(col) to get the number of rows in the table, when you could just use count(*)? If you're trying to get the last row from the table, then you can do
select * from table where column = (select max(column) from table).

Regarding the delete trigger to update a manually managed column, I think this would be a potential source of deadlocks, and many performance issues. Imagine you have 1 million rows in your table, and you delete row 1, that's 999999 rows you now have to update to subtract 1 from the id.

A: I'm not sure why you would want to do this. You could experiment with using temporary tables and "select into" with an Identity column like below.
create table test
 (
 col1 int,
 col2 varchar(3)
 )

 insert into test values (100, "abc")
 insert into test values (111, "def")
 insert into test values (222, "ghi")
 insert into test values (300, "jkl")
 insert into test values (400, "mno")

select rank = identity(10), col1 into #t1 from Test
select * from #t1

delete from test where col2="ghi"

select rank = identity(10), col1 into #t2 from Test
select * from #t2

drop table test
drop table #t1
drop table #t2

This would give you a dynamic id (of sorts)

A: Delete trigger
CREATE TRIGGER tigger ON myTable FOR DELETE
AS
update myTable
set id = id - (select count(*) from deleted d where d.id < t.id)
from myTable t

To avoid locking problems
You could add an extra table (which joins to your primary table) like this:
CREATE TABLE rowCounter
(id    int,      -- foreign key to main table
 rownum int)

... and use the rownum field from this table.
If you put the delete trigger on this table then you would hugely reduce the potential for locking problems.
Approximate solution?
Does the table need to keep its rownumbers up to date all the time?
If not, you could have a job which runs every minute or so, which checks for gaps in the rownum, and does an update.
Question:  do the rownumbers have to reflect the order in which rows were inserted?
If not, you could do far fewer updates, but only updating the most recent rows, "moving" them into gaps.
Leave a comment if you would like me to post any SQL for these ideas.
