Elder leaves can repel flies, and was considered lucky if one too root near your house naturally. They were often kept by the bck door of peoples' homes, generally where kitchens and food were kept keeping it fly free and have nice fresh berries at hand when they ripened. Elder is also supposed to be good at preventing milk from turning, folklore is probably a combination of the tree being associated with faeries and perhaps a practical explanation. Fae are supposed to love milk! Sometimes getting a bit drunk on it depending on your local lore, elder also has an absorbancy for certain tart smells, washing used to be hung on its branches and it would also mask the scent of turning milk.
Anybody leaving food under an Elder overnight is considered having to have offered it to the faeries, trying to claim it back after the night had passed or taking food you see under an elder is considered highly offensive. The wood is a good fuel, but only the most desperate would burn it. The sap in it makes screaming noises and pops and spits loudly when set alight giving people quite a fright, where it burns quite hot some places believed it to be the devil screaming to get out!
Elder is still used medicinally and the flowers and berries in wines and tonics, the berries can be used to make dyes (though I don't know the setting processes used in this) and the leaves make a green/yellow dye. Elderberries have been known to be effective at treating the flu (H1N1 in particular) it also helps boost the immune system in the body (similar to the properties of echinacea) A syrup made from fresh, ripe berries and sugar (5:1 ratio of weight, berries to sugar) can be bottled and kept over winter, mixing a tablespoon or two with hot/warm water drunk at nighttime helps alleviate flu symptoms and chest difficulties whilst trying to sleep. Ginger and cloves added to the mixture is a good remedy for colds. Note that seeds, roots and the wood of elder contain cyanide, unripened berries and the flowers contain toxins as well. As a result be careful using the leaves in teas (toxicity can build up even if a tea contains too little to have an overt ill effect) also avoid giving any flutes or pipes to children as it takes much less to harm their little bodies.
Rowan is another fae favorite and whilst Elder was often kept at the back door, Rowan was kept at the front, where Elder repels flies, the Rowan instead tends to attract them. Rowan has many nicknames including Quickbeam and Witchwood, it is also known as Mountain Ash. It is one of the trees that can grow in high altitudes and very far north compared to most deciduous trees.

Bard High School Early College Manhattan
The mission of Bard High School Early College is to provide bright, highly motivated students of high school age the challenge of a rigorous course of study that emphasizes thinking through writing, discussion, and inquiry, enabling them to begin college upon completing the 10th grade.
Interview with a BHSEC Professor
At the end of four years at BHSEC Manhattan, students have completed the first two years of an undergraduate liberal arts education, earning up to 60 college credits and an Associate in Arts degree from Bard College, as well as a New York State Regents Diploma.
In the college program – the third and fourth years, or Year One and Year Two – students take a full college course load in the liberal arts and sciences. All classes are taught by college faculty who are active and accomplished in their fields. Classes are inquiry- and discussion-based, encouraging active engagement with professors and peers. All students in the college program take a two-year interdisciplinary seminar sequence, one class a semester. Through critical reading and interpretation, students engage with seminal texts from antiquity to modernity across the humanities.
In the high school program (9th and 10th grades), a more structured, high school curriculum is meant to help students ease into college coursework. All high school classes are taught by the same college faculty that teach in the college program, and classwork incorporates similar critical reading, writing, and thinking techniques. Alongside a robust network of academic support resources, the high school classes help students more adequately prepare for the demands of their rigorous college classes in the last two years.
Our fundamental principles:
That many motivated students are fully capable of beginning college work by the time they would normally reach the 11th grade;
That success requires a faculty as committed to fostering adolescent development as they are to teaching and scholarship;
That a strong general education in the liberal arts and sciences should be the foundation of the curriculum; and
That an early college based on these principles could provide a model for reforming the education of American high school students.
What we hope to teach our students:
An understanding of the scientific method – its approaches to inquiry, its strengths and limitations as a mode of analysis, and a basic comprehension of the fundamental laws governing both physical phenomena and human behavior;
An appreciation of several forms of artistic and literary expression, the creative process, and the disciplined use of imagination, formal structure, and aesthetic values;
A flexibility of thought that allows for creative problem solving through an integration of quantitative and qualitative techniques;
Knowledge of some of the most influential works of Western culture and critical understanding of the values, assumptions, ideologies that they express;
Knowledge and appreciation of modes of thought of other cultures – including non-Western cultures, and groups or societies that exist as distinct subcultures within Western culture;
A sense of history – ideas, movements, peoples, and events of the past – and an understanding of how our view of the past is shaped, and shapes our understanding of the present and future; and
Sensitivity to the moral and ethical dimensions of thought and action, and developing the ability to make informed moral and ethical decisions.
Writing & Thinking Workshop
Every fall semester at BHSEC begins with The Writing & Thinking Workshop, a five-day intensive learning experience that provides students in every grade level with interesting exercises in critical reading and writing upon which they can build in their regular courses. Conceived by Bard College president Leon Botstein and based on the principle that strong writing and close reading enrich and enliven the classroom experience in all disciplines, the workshop sets the stage for the kind of interdisciplinary, intensive work students will tackle during their time at BHSEC.
Faculty members from all disciplines lead workshop sections of about fifteen to eighteen students in short writing activities, critical reading exercises, and group discussions about the texts at hand—a shared selection of traditional and contemporary poetry, plays, essays, fiction and non-fiction from several disciplines—developing a common vocabulary that will serve students well as they continue to grow as readers, writers, and thinkers.
Whether engaged in a ten-minute "focused free-write," or debating the meaning of a line of poetry, students not only work with faculty and with each other to build their critical language skills, they also experience what it means to participate in an intimate intellectual community. They learn to take initiative, speak up, and think differently while listening to alternative ideas, presenting personal work for feedback, and providing thoughtful criticism on others' work. By the end of the workshop, students produce a piece of polished prose that can become a tool for reflection, skill assessment, and continued development.

The required Regents exams are English Common Core, one science (Chemistry, Earth Science, Living Environment, or Physics), one mathematics, (Common Core Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II), one social studies (US History and Government, Global Studies) and 1 more exam.
In practice, students at BHSEC Queens who have not already met Regents requirements before enrolling usually take Common Core Algebra, US History and Government, and Living Environment as 9th graders; in 10th grade they take Common Core English and Global Studies.
In their last two years at BHSEC, students are encouraged to explore a variety of fields and to build their skills as independent thinkers, as critical readers, researchers and writers, and to prepare to transition smoothly into a four-year college of their choice.
Requirements for the Associate in Arts Degree
Students must earn 60 college credits with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 during the two years in the college program; they must also fulfill the following distribution requirements and complete all New York State Regents Diploma requirements in order to receive the Bard Associate of Arts Degree:
All four semesters of the Seminar sequence
Two semesters of college science, including laboratory experience
Two semesters of college math, starting with the appropriate core course
Two semesters of college foreign language or language and culture

Conducting Environmental Impact Assessment in Developing Countries (United Nations University, 1999, 375 p.)
9. Emerging developments in EIA
9.2 Cumulative effects assessment
9.2.1 Concepts and principles relevant to CEA
9.2.1.1 Model of causality
9.2.1.2 Input-process-output model
9.2.1.3 Temporal and spatial accumulation
9.2.1.4 Control factors
Several concepts and principles contribute to the development of a conceptual framework of cumulative environmental change.
A cause and effect relationship exists between the perturbation and the response of the system. This causal model is fundamental to a framework of cumulative environmental change. The nature of the cause and effect relationship is complex because of multiple causation, feedback mechanisms, and variable system response.
An input-process-output model provides the elemental structure for a framework of cumulative environmental change. The three elements of input, process, and output are inherent in the notion of environmental systems, and parallel the basic parts of a stress response model. Each component is briefly elaborated on below.
Input refers to a stimulus which acts as the causative agent of change. Inputs may be differentiated by type, magnitude, and frequency. Key considerations for cumulative environmental change include whether inputs are single or multiple, similar or different in kind, continuous or discrete, short or long term, and concentrated (i.e., point source) or dispersed (i.e., non-point source).
Process alludes to the pathway or mechanism followed to transfer a unit of input into a unit of environmental change. It determines a system's ability to resist, absorb, or adapt to perturbation. Processes of accumulation may be additive or interactive. The latter implies feedback mechanisms, a concept to be included in a framework of cumulative environmental change.
Output or response represents a change in system structure (e.g., hierarchy, spatial) or system function (e.g., primary production, nutrient cycling) after perturbation. A typology of cumulative effects should distinguish changes in structure and function.
Time and space are generic to each of the components of the input-process-output model of cumulative environmental change. A temporal perspective recognizes that in an environmental system exposed to continuous or repeated inputs, the interval between each input may be insufficient for system recovery before the next input occurs, resulting in temporal accumulation. Processes with lengthy feedback loops may contribute to time delays. The output or system response may differ over the short and long term, as the response frequently requires critical thresholds to be reached before cumulative effects are apparent.
A spatial dimension is also evident. In environmental systems subjected to multiple inputs, such as those from non-point sources, the spatial proximity between inputs may be too small to disperse each input, resulting in spatial accumulation. The additive and interactive mechanisms of environmental processes at local scales may increase and contribute to regional environmental change. System responses may also involve cross-boundary movement or alter the spatial pattern of a landscape.
Several factors control the components of input, process, and output. They are not mutually exclusive and may act dependently or independently of each other. The factors listed below are described briefly in terms of their influence on system response to perturbation.
Boundaries. Spatial and temporal dimensions define the perimeter of a system and so distinguish it from the external environment. Boundaries determine whether inputs are foreign or internal to the system, and also establish margins to identify cross-boundary flows between systems. Cumulative effects assessments are generally characterized by broad temporal and spatial boundaries to incorporate the accumulation of environmental changes over long time frames (i.e., decades, centuries) and among spatial scales (i.e., local, regional, global).
Hierarchy. Each level of organization (e.g., individual, population, community, ecosystem) within a system operates with a degree of autonomy by functioning at time and space scales which differ from other levels in the hierarchy. Different levels of organization may be associated with varying types of system response. For example, a perturbation such as cultural eutrophication may eliminate or replace a single fish species (e.g., trout), but the aquatic system as a whole may remain intact. Thus, cumulative effects assessment investigates environmental changes within and among various levels of organization.
Organizational complexity. The degree of organizational complexity also influences the capacity of a system to respond to varying amounts of stress. Mature and complex organizations tend to resist cumulative effects characterized by small and short-term stress, but are more likely to succumb to severe and prolonged stress. Immature stages of organization are more likely to absorb or adapt to extreme events by rapid rebuilding of system structure and function. The response to cumulative effects differs between mature and rudimentary systems because as organizational complexity increases, the degree of specialization and connectivity among elements usually increases, and dynamic variability of system processes generally decreases.
Assimilative capacity. All environmental systems possess an assimilative capacity that regulates the amount of input a system can receive without degradation to a system component or process. A stress of high intensity and short duration may quickly exhaust the assimilative capacity of a system, resulting in sudden system response. A stress of low magnitude and frequent repetition may deplete assimilative capacity at a gradual rate. Low levels of repeated stress may result in increments of environmental change which accumulate over time and delay the system's response (i.e., time delay).
Thresholds. Accumulation of environmental change can result in a critical threshold. This is the point at which the intensity or duration of an input is sufficient to result in system response. Thresholds control the response function by defining the level at which a system can no longer resist or absorb inputs. Perturbations that exceed the critical threshold result in adaptation or breakdown. Analogous to assimilative capacity, critical thresholds may be reached quickly under high level of stress or incrementally under low stress levels.
Dynamic variability. Perturbation may force an environmental system or a system variable to function outside its normal operating range. Dynamic variability is a measure of the amplitude or degree of fluctuation beyond this range. It determines the capacity of a system to adapt to stress, whether extreme events or the accumulation of incremental environmental changes. Systems with high dynamic variability generally have a greater capacity to adapt to severe stress than systems with low variability.
Stability and resilience. Closely related to dynamic variability, the factors of stability and resilience also influence the manner in which systems respond to perturbation. Stability is characterized by a low degree of fluctuation around an equilibrium state and a rapid return to this state following stress. Resilience is distinguished by high variability and the ability of a system to maintain its structure and function. A system with low stability and high resilience is more likely to persist in the face of extreme stress than a system with high stability and low resilience. The latter can absorb incremental cumulative effects, but is vulnerable to change when thresholds are reached.
The influence of the control factors varies among the three components of input, process, and output so that some govern inputs (e.g., boundaries, assimilative capacity), others regulate processes (e.g., thresholds, dynamic variability), and still others determine the type of output response (e.g., hierarchy, organizational complexity, stability, and resilience).


Donald Norman invites journalists over to check out some simple products -- and they all find critical features missing. Joel Spolsky finds that nothing increases revenue more than adding features. Simplicity, they conclude, is dead.
I found the traditional "white goods" most interesting: Refrigerators and washing machines. The store obviously had the Korean companies LG and Samsung, but also GE, Braun, and Philips. The Korean products seemed more complex than the non-Korean ones, even though the specifications and prices were essentially identical. "Why?" I asked my two guides, both of whom were usability professionals. "Because Koreans like things to look complex," they responded. It is a symbol: it shows their status.
...the people want the features. Because simplicity is a myth whose time has past, if it ever existed.
I disagree with Joel and Donald. Firstly, I don't think that seeing something in a shop tells you much about how it sells, or how much people actually like it once they bring it home. Unfortunately, what gets someone to purchase something is different from the value they get out of actually using it.
More importantly, if features get in the way of someone using the device (or website, or whatever) then it's a bad experience. Knowing which features to bring upfront, and which features to highlight, sits at the heart of creating good customer experiences. Features are extremely hard to cut. They are very hard to hide. The best experiences know enough about the customer to include the key features upfront, and hide the rest for the power users.

China will build special railway for Muslim pilgrims in Saudi Arabia
China has signed a billion-pound contract to build a high-speed railway that will ferry pilgrims between Mecca and Medina.
By Malcolm Moore, Shanghai Correspondent 11 February 2009 • 06:31 am
King Abdullah and Hu Jintao: It is the first time that the two countries have signed a major public works agreement Credit: Photo: AP
Hu Jintao, the Chinese president, is currently in Riyadh on a three-day tour, during which the deal was announced.
A 230mph rail link between Mecca and Medina will cut the four to five hour-long car journey between Islam's two holiest cities to just half an hour.
In particular, the train will help alleviate congestion during the Hajj, the obligatory annual mass pilgrimage of three million worshippers to Mecca. In the past, the crush of worshippers has resulted in some pilgrims being trampled to death.
"This train will be able to rapidly evacuate the crowd at the peak of the Hajj," said Yang Honglin, the Chinese ambassador to Saudi Arabia, adding that the line will have a maximum capacity of five million people a year.
The railway will be built by China Railway Construction Corporation, together with a Saudia Arabian company and an unnamed French firm. The deal is said to be worth £1.2 billion and should be completed by 2013.
The Saudis contacted the Chinese last month, after deciding at the end of last year that they would spend Pounds3.6 billion on five light rail systems linking Hajj locations, including Mina and the Hill of Arafat.
It is the first time that the two countries have signed a major public works agreement, although Huawei, the giant Chinese telecommunications company, is already the largest supplier of communications during the Hajj.
Mr Hu's trip is his second in three years and comes en route to a tour of Mali, Senegal, Tanzania and Mauritius.
The main focus of the trip is likely to be oil supplies to the world's most populous nation.
"Saudi Arabia is the biggest oil exporter to China. We value the role it plays and look forward to strengthening cooperation in this field," said the Chinese foreign ministry.
Trade between the two countries has doubled since 2005 and rose 65 per cent last year to Pounds28.7 billion. Sinopec, the Chinese state-owned oil company, is negotiating a deal with Saudi Aramco to build two refineries in Saudi Arabia.
Chinese officials said there are now 62 Chinese companies working in the kingdom, employing over 15,000 Chinese workers.
Meanwhile, Hu's visit to Africa is designed to consolidate China's influence on the continent. The Chinese foreign ministry has said that the fact that none of the countries Hu will visit has resources or large economies shows that China is interested in a long-term relationship with all Africans.
The foreign ministry strongly denied that China was merely interested in Africa because of its wealth of oil, gas and metals, pointing out that the United States and Europe both export twice as much oil from Africa as China.

Toddlers & Tiaras star Eden Wood said it herself — she's "real famous." So instead of continuing to perform in pageants, Eden is launching a music career instead at the age of 6.
Annette Hill, the director of Universal Royalty Beauty Pageant in Texas, confirmed the news of Eden's retirement to E! News.
So Eden is moving on from the stage and heading to the recording studio to start a career in singing.
And Justin Bieber apparently better watch out!
"Just like you know Justin, you'll know Eden," she said.
But Eden will perform in one more pageant show in Melbourne, Australia.

Things to do in Dundee when you're dead.
A quick summary of the last week and some other pressing matters. Flits about a bit and a touch too long. Sorry Linsi.
Finish packing. Shitty kitty dribbling shit ALL over the house. Want to cry. Take kitty to superb sister and her superb 'significant other' who proceed to melt all our fears and send us off with a slightly brighter outlook. Drive to Manchester for drinks and fun with chums and their children. Hello chums and your children. Play celebrity guessing game during which I suggest Madeline McCann could be considered a celebrity. Which at least is a talking point. Drive to Glasgow for 2 nights of hastily booked Air B&B. No hot water first morning. And who said the Scots were tight? Drinks and laughs with wife's friends then more laughs with another of wife's friends and her kids. Wife's friend says nice things about writing and the future. Glasgow has one of the worst road systems in the universe, in case you were interested. Hot water worked next morning but I'm not sure I like Air B&B too much. Drive to Dundee, where dark clouds are gathering. Mind you it's Scotland, a country where dark clouds gathering is considered entertainment.
Dundee, for all it's charm, can feel like a struggling city. Too many restaurants and not enough people. Incidentally I'm not classing Frankie and Benny's as a restaurant. Compare it to some towns and it barely qualifies as a city, and if you made the university vanish then Dundee would crumble gently into despair. At least I think so. We've been to Dundee far too often recently and that's because dementia has come knocking. My mother in law has been diagnosed with it and since she lives on her own up there she needs some support. Sadly she has spent years drifting into bad habits with her 'other half', he being a urine drenched, fish eyed shit-sack who is roughly 148 years old and exists on Subway and a barrage of awful television, usually turned up so loud other people's ears start to bleed. He's a parasite and a leech and if he left this earth in 3 seconds time that would still be too long a wait. I'm almost ashamed to admit I mean that.
I'm not great with old folk, as you can probably tell, so being in Dundee to look after a mother in law with dementia is about as far away from fun as I can imagine. If dementia was in a pack of 'horrible medical problems' Top Trumps (I'm claiming that as my idea) it would win over everything. It may not include the messy end of, say, Ebola, the shock of a heart attack or the insidious creep of cancer but it has it's own special seat in the human condition which places it at the high alter of sadness. It also requires dozens of other people to help out, all of them knowing that in the long run there really isn't much that can be done. Just watch and wait. And wait.
Dundee has a few attractions, which when you've gone a few times too many just become distractions, and then just things you can say you saw, once, a long time ago and it's probably not worth bothering now. Look up the top 10 things to do in Dundee and the list should probably stop after number 6. And when I say 6, I mean 4. The city is currently undergoing a cultural overhaul with millions being invested in waterfront developments including a new V&A Museum of Design. Quite whether these will prove to be as great a lure as was first imagined remains to be seen. It is thoroughly unrealistic to ask tourists to take a day trip out from anywhere outside a 2 hour radius just to visit Dundee. It would be like getting a bus to buy a portion of chips from McDonalds.
Realistically you have to go to Dundee on your way somewhere else or if, like us, you really have to go anyway. It's one of those places that has 3 shopping centres: the first one, the second one which turned the first one into shit and then the big shiny third one which left the other 2 about as attractive as walking on a hot day in a tramps underpants. It happens in towns all over Britain, it's just I see it in Dundee more regularly. 'Retail premises to let' signs are as ubiquitous as fat, violent seagulls.
Back to mother in law, who is starting to struggle. Not all the time but enough to be a worry. She has four care visits a day but sooner or later that won't be enough. I don't know how much they cost the taxpayer but multiply them by lots of millions across the nation and you start to get an idea of just how big a problem we have. That's for another time but you don't have to imagine how much hard work dementia throws up. More for 'the wife' than me in this instance (but you probably already knew that). On a practical level there is cleaning and tidying and organising and arranging and shopping and cooking to do, but they're just jobs. There's the worry and the phone calls and the expense as well.
The hardest bit is the continual loop of aimless conversations and banal asides. You see, my mother in law is very stubborn, something she has passed down to both her daughters, and she is perfectly capable of refusing even the most obvious suggestions. If asked whether she has put her hearing aids in she will just reply "not going to hear any better with them in, am I". Of course you bloody well will you silly…..etc, etc. She wants to reject all help because she doesn't remember on a day to day basis just how much she needs it and she has pride too. She wants desperately to stay in her house, her drawers and wardrobes stuffed with random memories and ill advised TK Maxx purchases, but if she doesn't tow the line then bigger cogs will eventually turn. And that will be sad because she is a nice person for much of the time and doesn't deserve a bad life; she has had to deal with plenty of crap over the years.
For logistical reasons we couldn't stay with mother in law, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing, so we Air B&B'd it again. This time we stayed in a shed. It was a nice shed but it was still a shed. A shed with a plastic roof, which doesn't help in a city as wet as Dundee. I could have had a more restful sleep in the central reservation of the M25. Other than that it was OK though 'the wife' thought it was better than that because they gave us croissants. What I've decided is particularly annoying about Air B&B is that the price you think is at first good then skyrockets with the Air B&B 'tax' and 'cleaning costs'. Suddenly a reliable bed in a Premier Inn seems like a better option. Approach with caution.
So, we got away in the end and drove back, all nine hours of it with a couple of stops. Driving from London to Dundee is impossibly boring even with 'the wife' and the radio, both at full blast. Every route option is different but they're all a waste of life. We dropped by to pick up shitty kitty who had by all accounts behaved very well. Apart from all the faecal matter, of course. She's now at home and has dribbled poo on me three times as I've been writing this. Hopefully it will clear up in time and with the help of love and antibacterial wipes. Let's just hope she doesn't get dementia as well. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Well, maybe my worst enemy.

Exceptional moment in Monaco, a private dinner in the famous "Café de Paris".
The Principality of Monaco with its world famous Rock lies between France and the Mediterranean Sea. The prestige and the fame of this attractive territory, which the French writer Colette described as being made of flowers, welcome you. Thanks to its mild, temperate climate, and to more than 300 days of sunshine a year, Monaco's vocation is to be a land of exception.


Some more acts to the ever-expanding Oxegen 2010 lineup today, the highlights of which have to be Dizzee Rascal, Laura Marling, the Stranglers, and him from the Strokes - Julian Casablancas. They were announced on the Paul McLoone show on Today FM earlier today.
Weekend tickets cost €240 and are on sale now. It'll be definitely worth it.


If you enjoyed The Hangover, Ted, 21 Jump Street and Superbad, then you will probably love this movie.
It is about the end of the world and how it affects the Hollywood stars in Los Angeles. Their public image is mocked and they play to their weaknesses. Like, what do you reckon Michael Cera, Jonah Hill and Christopher Mintz-Plasse are like at a party? Yeah, they play to your assumptions which is quite hilarious.
It is a movie that makes fun of every actor's reputation, with Jonah Hill being the funniest.
So it's not the typical genre that I would watch at the cinema, so my expectations were somewhat low.
However, I am happy to say that this film was certainly a good laugh! I did enjoy it.
I guess it was specifically marketed at the Gen-Y population – I couldn't see my parents enjoying it, and certainly not anybody younger than me!

Delivery like a G: Menulog challenged by Australia's labour shortage
December 7, 20214 mins read
A year on from a company-wide rebrand, Australian food delivery platform Menulog is going from strength to strength, helped by increased demand for home-delivered food during the pandemic. Menulog's ANZ commercial director Rory Murphy said the last 18 months have been "transformative" for the business. Since Murphy joined Menulog in 2016, the sales team has grown from 25 to 170, and the business has grown its partner portfolio from 6000 to over 33,000 restaurants in ANZ. "It&

"It's been extremely transformative. And if I'm honest, probably a bit of a wild ride," he told Inside Retail of trading during the pandemic.
"We've seen enormous growth in our business. The flip side is that for the restaurant industry, there's been a much more mixed bag. Delivery has been a blessing and something that has really helped a substantial amount of businesses survive through [the lockdown] period."

Murphy admits that CBD restaurants felt the brunt of lockdowns, as office workers returned to the suburbs to work from home, but said it was good news for regional areas.
"We saw very significant growth for many of the suburban and regional areas. Country towns have been growing at a very rapid rate," he said.
Although the business was snapped up by British food delivery service Just Eat in 2015, Murphy said Menulog holds its Australian heritage close and considers it to be at the heart of its relationships with restaurants.
Menulog's partnership with self-delivery restaurants continues to be "a very substantial and strong business" but it also has a full service logistics arm, similar to what major competitors UberEats and Deliveroo offer.
"There's still a substantial number of [restaurants] that prefer to [deliver] themselves. They have lower economics, different models [etc.]," he explained.
"We are able to cover more territory than our competitors because we can operate, in country towns for example, where we're not running our delivery service and still have excellent trading relationships with self-delivery venues across the country.
"We've also got click-and-collect. It's a more multifaceted business than the competitors from a functional perspective."
Growth in grocery
Like its competitors, Menulog took advantage of increased demand for grocery delivery during the last 12-18 months.
"The grocery and convenience food sector has been one of the biggest areas of growth, from a trends perspective, that we've seen over the past 12 months. That general category on Menulog is up in the mid-300 per cent growth range," Murphy said.
Menulog has over 1600 grocery and convenience retail outlets on the platform, including major national partners like BP, as well as independent grocers and convenience retailers.
And while rival UberEats moves into package delivery, Menulog plans to stay focused on food retail.
"We're not interested in jumping categories into general last mile delivery services," Murphy said.
When it comes to restaurant deliveries, it's no longer just about dinner time. Menulog is seeing growth in the breakfast, lunch, and late night segments as people continue to work from home.
"We don't expect that to change," he said. "We expect Australia to continue to mature as a home-delivered food market, and we think that the industry still has a substantial amount of headroom.
"Equally, we are rational enough to expect that there'll be some normalisation of some of the buying habits and behaviours of the last couple of years."
'Did somebody say Menulog?'
With Menulog servicing 93 per cent of the addressable population in Australia, suburban families have proven to be the brand's heartland clientele. But a company rebrand last year, featuring none other than rapper Snoop Dogg and a very catchy campaign jingle, has helped the business attract a much younger demographic.
"It was very impactful for us, both in terms of the Snoop campaign and the recognition of the song and the slogan that accompanied that campaign," Murphy said.
"It allowed us to talk to segments of the market where we were previously underrepresented. The campaign activity has taken us into a landscape where we are doing a significant amount more trading with younger audiences and inner city audiences."
In recent weeks, the brand began rolling out a new iteration of the campaign, partnering with music label Mushroom Records to invite four local Australian artists to share their interpretation of the now iconic jingle.
"That's been a great evolution," Murphy said. "We love that particular flavour of the campaign because it has allowed us to support local restaurants, the local record industry and young artists."
Labour shortage impacts delivery and hospitality
Almost two years into the pandemic, Murphy said Australia's labour shortage is proving to be a major challenge, not just for delivery services, but for the hospitality industry as a whole.
"There is definitely a labor shortage across the industry. We see, from a Menulog perspective, that manifests in terms of overall career availability," he said.
"The restaurant community is wrestling with the same challenge [of sourcing] hospitality staff. That's the reality of having borders shut for such a lengthy period of time."
But he is confident in the resilience of the hospitality industry, and believes that, with the right support, it will bounce back.
"I've been in the business for five-and-a-half years now and have been fortunate enough to spend time with hundreds, if not thousands, of small restaurants across the country. It's a very entrepreneurial sector. It is extremely impressive the way that it has capacity for self renewal," he said.
Today, Menulog has 37,000 restaurant partners across Australia and New Zealand, and Murphy plans to grow that number significantly next year.
"We've got a number of conversations happening at the moment with vendors in that space that we will continue to add to our supply mix and our platform," he said.

Q: Mysql affected_rows returns 1, but the actual mysql doesn't get updated I have this function:
     public function update($id, $value)
    {
        $query = 'UPDATE ' . table .
                 ' SET ' . table . '.value = ?' .
                 ' WHERE ' . table . '.value = ?';

        $stmt = $this->connection->prepare($query);

        if (!$stmt || !$stmt->bind_param('ii', $id, $value)) {
            return false;
        }

        if (!$stmt->execute() || !$stmt->affected_rows) {
            return false;
        }

        return true;
}

The problem is that this function returns true, affected_rows returns 1, but this doesn't update my actual mysql table. If I'm trying to do the query inside the mysql, it works. Could someone tell me why?

A: This is correct code.
public function update($id, $value)
{
    $query = 'UPDATE table SET value =? WHERE id =?';

    $stmt = $this->mysqli->prepare($query);
    $stmt->bind_param('ii', $value,$id);
    $status = $stmt->execute();
    if ($stmt === false)
    {
        trigger_error($this->mysqli->error, E_USER_ERROR);
        return;
    }
    else
    {
        return $stmt->affected_rows;
    }
}

A: Did you maybe forgot to change the order of $id, and $value. Because now there is standing UPDATE table SET table.value = $id WHERE table.value = $value. But the where clause is querying the record that needs to be updated

News, SPHL Headlines
Havoc Double Up Mayhem 6-3
by sphl
HUNTSVILLE – The Havoc opened a weekend two-game series against the Macon Mayhem by scoring three goals in each of the first two periods and cruising to a 6-3 win. It's the second consecutive game where Huntsville put six in the net on home ice.
The team was led by defenseman Peter Sikalis, who scored two goals in Friday night's game – his second multi-goal game of the year.
"I'm really pleased with our effort and execution tonight," said Havoc Head Coach GlennDetulleo. "We kept our intensity and focus for a full 60 minutes and were rewarded with an important win and two points in the standings."
The win keeps Huntsville (25-14-2) in third place and moves the team an additional two points ahead of the Mayhem (22-15-5) at fourth in the SPHL standings.
The Havoc got on the board 91 seconds in to the game when Pat Condon sniped a shot through traffic at the top of the slot to put the home team up early.
Sikalis scored his first goal just shy of 7 minutes in to the first period when he one-timed a puck rolling around the boards to double the Havoc lead. Nine minutes later, he scored his second during a powerplay by cleaning up a rebound from just in front of the crease.
Macon's Jake Trask took matters in to his own hands later in the period by matchingSikalis' output – scoring two goals just 2:15 apart to get the Mayhem within striking distance. Huntsville held a slim 3-2 lead at the first intermission.
At the top of the second period, the home squad picked up right where they left off. SyNutkevitch followed up a rebound of his own shot with a quick wrister through the Mayhem keeper's pads to give Huntsville another two-goal cushion just 82 seconds in to the period.
At 6:44 in the middle frame, Colton Wolter skated swiftly around the back of the Macon goal and tried to slip in the wrap-around, but Trevor Gerling was there to finish off the shot and increase the Huntsville lead.
Kyle Sharkey capped the Havoc scoring by utilizing a screen by Christian Powers on a powerplay and shooting past the Macon keeper while skating through the left face-off circle.
Macon scored a powerplay goal with just over a minute left in the second period to make the score 6-3 at the second break, but neither team could light the lamp in the third period and the 4,329 fans went home happy with a win against a strong opponent.
The teams have split the season series thus far, each with two wins. The video highlights from Friday night's game can be found on the team's YouTube channel.
Sikalis has six goals on the season thus far, out distancing his mark last season when he scored five.
Sharkey has a four-game point streak going (2g, 3a).
The keepers for both sides made 35 saves on the night.
Tyler Piacentini recorded two assists and extended his point streak to four games (4g, 2a).
