Our 'Sprout' designs features three sets of green leaves stitched on the front cover.
The Chixon Journal Cover can easily hold up to 3 soft cover cahier sized notebooks (5" x 8.25") or a combination of most sized travel notebooks that are available (our favorite is the Molekskine brand). You can even use many smaller sized planners that are on the market today, just be sure to compare the measurements of the planner you're interested in with the measurements of the Chixon. We've used the traditional travel journal system of strong elastic bands to hold your notebooks in place. It's simple to thread the elastics bands into the reinforced holes we've provided, and many great videos tutorials are available on YouTube to show you how. Once your bands are in place, you just slip your notebook into place by sliding one through the bands with one band in between your pages. The bands are easy to swap out depending on your color preferences. Click here for a video tutorial on threading your Chixon with new elastics.


In 2012, Paul Broad, then chief executive of Infrastructure NSW, warned the Government about the problems of building a light rail in Sydney.
"If you add light rail to George Street today, you will not fix a problem, you will create a problem," he told the ABC.
An Infrastructure NSW report — released in October 2012 by Mr Broad and then chairman of Infrastructure NSW, former NSW premier Nick Greiner — alerted the Government to potential financial disruptions and lengthy delays.
Six years on and Greiner and Broad can now finally say "I told you so".
It's not what the Premier wants to hear.
When the Government came to power in 2011 after 16 years in opposition, Gladys Berejiklian was the Transport Minister.
The North West metro and CBD light rail were her pet projects and the CBD light rail was predicted to be completed in time for the 2019 election.
Now the Government won't be drawn on the project's completion date, rumoured to be 2020.
"The narrowness of George Street may mean that a high capacity light rail service is fundamentally incompatible with a high quality pedestrian boulevard along this corridor," Paul Broad said.
The 12-kilometre light rail from Circular Quay to Randwick is facing a massive cost blowout and in some sections it's a year behind schedule.
The NSW Government confirmed last year the cost had increased by $500 million, but now the subcontractor in charge of building the line, says the figure is much bigger.
Today the NSW Supreme Court will hear a claim by subcontractor Acciona for more than $1 billion in compensation from the State Government.
Lawyers for Acciona will argue the company has been misled on the complexity of the underground utilities, such as gas, electricity and water pipes.
The State Government argues that Acciona has an obligation to complete the job and the Premier has said she won't "be held to ransom".
While the Government and subcontractor battle it out in court, commuters and pedestrians face months, possibly years, of more construction along George Street.
More than 50 businesses have received government assistance during the construction period, but many others have closed down.
Amelia Birch used to own The Book Kitchen in Bourke St, Surry Hills.
Last year she says she lost that business because her trade has dropped off due to the light rail construction.
Amelia Birch said she has had no contact from anyone in the State Government, instead, there has been "a lot of ignoring".
The Premier has said Transport Minister Andrew Constance will meet with Ms Birch.
However, there is some concern amongst backbenchers that the Coalition isn't doing enough for people like Amelia Birch. That's why this week the Premier announced a $290 million package aimed at small communities — money for planting trees, building playgrounds and fixing local sporting fields. The Premier knows that during the phase of delivering big projects the Government can't afford to forget the people who voted for them.
The CBD light rail disaster may become more than a headache for Gladys Berejiklian.
There are growing concerns that Acciona is running out of money. The last thing the Premier needs is a half-finished project right in the middle of the CBD, causing chaos for years to come. If this happens that's could be an electoral disaster for the Premier.
If the Government is forced to pay more than $1 billion to Acciona, what projects will she need to shelve to pay for it? Speculation around Macquarie Street is the Powerhouse Museum move may be off the cards or the Northern Beaches Tunnel put on hold. Ms Berejiklian doesn't want to backflip on another project, but that may be the least of her concerns. If the light rail project implodes, the real damage to the Premier will be to her economic credibility and that politically she can no longer sell herself as the 'Infrastructure Premier', delivering projects on time and on budget.


Autumn is the most melancholy season of the year. When we see the nature languish before the long cold period of winter we somehow feel the same and our mood takes a turn for the worse. Actually I don't think that the autumn is disliked for that, I think the main reason is that the biggest part of this season people will have to stay at home, because of the bad weather. This year we had luck, as the weather was just perfect. We still can enjoy the last warm rays of the sun; we don't see heaps of colored leaves. In my humble opinion every season is indispensable to realize how much better are the other seasons of the year. No mater what after autumn will come winter and after winter must come spring the only thing left for us is to wait.


Did you know that the state of Michoacán, Mexico provides 85% of the world's avocados? Did you know that Americans consume the most avocados on Super Bowl Sunday? I received an invitation to attend an avocado themed Super Bowl party, hosted by the state of Michoacán, Mexico at The Dunlavy. As a huge fan of avocados, this party had my name written all over. Plus I heard rumbles of a special, celebrity guest appearance by NFL Superstar Arian Foster.
Countless women, children and grown men who were ripping their pocket stitching to get to their phones for a photo. Not being the biggest football fan, I wasn't as star struck. I casually walked over to Arian and asked if he was cool if I took a pic. He replied yes, then complimented my fro.
Following the mayhem that comes with celebrity sightings, I went inside for another drink. One of the specialty cocktails contained sorbet made of avocados. Served in wine glass, the "Sgroppino" was light and refreshing. The splash of Moet and hint of citrus meshed well with the subtlety of the avocado sorbet.
In addition to the passed avocado hors d'oeuvres and specialty cocktails, there were games! I had A BLAST playing the virtual reality interactive football themed games. Takeaway tidbit: I should have been a wide receiver!
The evening came to a close with cheers and shouts from the audience, as we bit our nails down to the nub during the last (super intense) minute of the game. But in my mind I could only think of one thing. Given our current political "sitchiation," these avocados from Mexico will soon be growing behind a massive wall. Will this wall be too high to jump over, inevitably leaving these green gems beyond my reach?
I hope not, because that would make me very angry… and you don't want to see me angry!

Warren Buffett set up his partnerships using a very interesting structure. He didn't take an annual management fee from his partners. Unlike almost every other investment fund at the time (and indeed today) this was unique because it meant that in down years, Warren Buffett wouldn't be paid.
In fact, rather than receiving money from investors no matter what, Buffett was actually on the hook for funds if he didn't produce a positive performance for investors.
Each limited partner would "be paid interest at the rate of 4%" on their capital account at the end of the prior year. If he did outperform, Buffett was entitled to a performance fee of 50% of net profits.
Under this complex structure, Buffett had to return 4% a year or fund the 4% annual interest fee to partners out of his own pocket. If he achieved a return of more than 4%, he was allowed to keep 50% of the profits over this hurdle.
So, for example, if the fund produced a return of 10%, 4% would go to partners, and the remaining 6% would be split between Buffett and his partners. If the partnerships lost money, say 10%, Buffett would still have to pay up his 4% interest, reducing investor losses down to 6%.
These initial figures (they were later revised so that Buffett would take 25% of the downside of any losses) helped the young investor stand out. He couldn't just sit around and collect a management fee, he had to generate a positive performance of at least 4% a year or risk having to spend his hard-earned savings making partners whole.
Buffett wasn't planning for that scenario. He was convinced that his strategy of buying deeply discounted equities would produce fantastic results.
And he was right. In 1957, the partnerships returned 10.4%. In 1958, they returned 40.9%. In 1959, they returned 25.9% and in 1960, Buffett Associates returned 22.8%. Between 1957 and 1967, Buffett produced a total cumulative return for partners of 2610.6%, compared to just 185.7% for the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
On a compound basis, the partnerships returned 31.6% per annum, compared to 9.1% for the Dow Jones between 1957 and 1968.

Q: SQL Query - Displaying the same column twice under different conditions I am wondering if the following is possible. Say I have the following table:
ID | NAME
 1 | John
 2 | Bob
 3 | John
 4 | Bob

Is it possible to run a query that results in the following:
NAME| ID1 | ID2
John    | 1    | 3
Bob      | 2    | 4
EDIT
Sorry for the confusion. My question addresses instances where I need to handle the possibility of 2 duplicates for a large data set.

A: Assuming exactly 2 duplicates
SELECT
   NAME,
   MIN(ID) as ID1,
   MAX(ID) as ID2
FROM Table t
GROUP BY NAME

A: This should work.  Note that the subquery screens out all names that don't have exactly two ids.
select name,min(id) as id1,max(id) as id2
from table
join(
    select name
    from table
    group by name
    having count(1)=2
)names
using(name)
group by name;

A: If there are exactly two rows with each name, then the following should work:
 SELECT a.name,
        a.id as id1,
        b.id as id2
 FROM the_table a
   JOIN the_table b ON a.name = b.name AND a.id <> b.id

Cardano: The blockchain promising to make Africa Web3 leader
Brian McGleenon

Africa is leapfrogging the US and Europe in its embrace of blockchain technology that could make it "wealthier than Western nations", claims Cardano chief Charles Hoskinson.
Hoskinson has a vision to rebuild the social and economic infrastructure of African nations with blockchain technology.
Speaking at the Financial Times Crypto and Digital Assets Summit, the Cardano founder said there was "more demand than supply" for its services within the world's developing nations.
As of the time of writing the price of cardano (ADA-USD) is $0.53, and it has a market cap of $18bn.
Cardano see the deep-rooted centralised infrastructure underpinning Western nations as an obstacle that African nations can circumvent on their road to becoming web3 giants.

Speaking to Yahoo Finance, John O'Connor, head of African operations at IO Global, said: "DeFi certainly has huge potential for developing nations, especially those that don't already have legacy infrastructure that prevents rapid innovation, and can make rollouts of blockchain smoother."
IO Global is the infrastructure research and development company behind the Cardano blockchain and was founded by Charles Hoskinson and Jeremy Wood.
Cardano see an opportunity in Africa's younger population, who are eager to adopt new technologies with greater speed than their ageing counterparts in the global north.
Instead of relying on legacy systems of government, that are centralised and can yield to the hands of corruption, African nations could unleash the untapped potential of millions of people with the protocols of automated blockchains.
In Cardano's vision for Africa, code is king and "the code transcends government, and if the government tries to move it in a particular direction, they cannot", added Hoskinson.
At the Financial Times event in London, he described the chains of poverty that the blockchain can unlock, as its algorithms "don't care who you are or where you are at, whether you are a Sengalese farmer or Bill Gates", they just get the job done.
The algorithms of the cardano blockchain enable smart contracts that could give financial inclusion to billions across the African continent.

The ability to prove your identity, your education qualification, your rightful ownership of land or the ability to access loans is a luxury that the citizens of the US and Europe take for granted.
In Africa, hundreds of millions of people have no bank account, no access to reasonable credit, no definitive proof of qualifications and no proof that they own the land or dwelling where they have lived for generations. Because centralised government has failed them.
Cardano has made it their mission to fix this poverty trap and leapfrog African nations so they not only compete with the West but become world leaders "in AI and advanced robotics".
In the past, the fate of billions of Africans has been decided in the board-rooms of the West and on the golf resorts where its power elite play. But, Hoskinson has news for them, the blockchain "is not influenced by the politics of the day or the geopolitics of large nations over small nations".
Hoskinson explained that when Cardano's protocols are installed, "that's the way it stays and the users own the assets". He added: "We have more demand than supply, and there are now more than 900 decentralised applications deployed on the Cardano ecosystem, with many involved in the GoveTech business, people see an opportunity there."

But, what will now control the fate of billions living in Africa if its social, economic and governmental fabric relinquishes to the power of the blockchain. How can citizens be sure that the encoded protocols that guide their lives are not, in turn, guided by bad actors?
Cardano's John O'Connor stated that the blockchain is provably secure, and not susceptible to manipulation from power groups. He added that "its protocol is guaranteed to be secure so long as 51% of the stake of its native ADA cryptocurrency is held by honest participants, which, in addition to other novel concepts, is achieved through random leader selection".
He added that: "Governance is an essential step in the Cardano roadmap. This roadmap has five-stages; foundation, decentralisation, smart contracts, scaling and governance." He described a Cardano governance system that would make impactful decisions about software updates, technical improvements and funding decisions, to ensure, "that the blockchain remains democratic."
Cardano would enable a decentralised banking system that can issue micro-loans to people who do not have a credit or transaction history. By tracking peer to peer transactions, the blockchain will build an individual's transactions history. O'Connor added that "when it comes to unbanked populations in developing economies, there is a real problem with individuals in rural areas lacking access to mainstream financial services. DeFi (decentralised finance) is a great tool to help improve economic inclusion."
Watch: What are the risks of investing in cryptocurrency
Forgery of land ownership documents is a problem in the African property market, and because of regime change proving property claims made under former regimes or after civil wars is extremely difficult.
According to O'Connor, Cardano plans to help eradicate the problem of land and property fraud by "storing property deeds on the blockchain so users can access these documents with only a mobile phone, and can be assured that they are secure and cannot be tampered with".
He added: "This can be a particular benefit for refugees who may need to prove ownership of their land upon returning home, if these documents are stored on a digital ledger, they cannot be lost or tampered with thanks to the blockchain's security. Cardano is provably secure thanks to Ouroboros, a blockchain protocol we designed, which features mathematically verifiable security against attackers."
Cardano is not the only organisation that is pushing for Africa's future to be blockchain-based. President of Tingo International Holdings Chris Cleverly also spoke to Yahoo Finance and described Africa's cryptocurrency market as growing by over 1,200% in 2021, "the fastest rate in the world".
Watch: Steve Hanke: 'Cryptocurrencies are fiat money on steroids'
Tingo is setting out to offer much-needed credit to the unbanked in Africa through microloans recorded on the blockchain through a pioneering SMS network where an internet connection is not even required.
Over half of Africa's population have access to a mobile phone and Tingo's new KamPay service will allow people to send and receive funds for their products and needs across a distributed secure blockchain.
Cleverly added that the blockchain service will reach millions of farmers across Africa with its SMS technology to provide micro-loans for as low as $2USD.
Cleverly describes the blockchain as having "a great role to play in solving some of our world's greatest challenges such as tackling food security and facilitating economic development". And he added that this technology is already here, "not some far-off, vague and poorly-understood concept or vision".

Cardano has been slow to kick off the starter block, being years behind first movers like rival Ethereum, but they reckon that building the web3 world will not be a 100m sprint.
O'Connor said that as Cardano has developed slowly, with each step forward backed by peer-reviewed research, the blockchain is "now mature enough to underpin a blockchain solution which can scale to serve an entire national population".
There is an expression that a day in crypto is the equivalent to a year in traditional finance, and proponents of rival blockchains have lambasted Cardano for languishing in development for what has seemed an eternity.
But, to understand Cardano's laboriously strategy of rigorous research and development, it is apt to recall a saying by Abraham Lincoln, "give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe".
Cardano began life in 2015, and until recently the team of developers have been sharpening that axe, but now the proof of stake blockchain is starting to cut, with the first stroke landing in Africa.

As Britain endures a cost-of-living crisis, public libraries and other community hubs are providing "warm spaces" for vulnerable members of society to stay safe and access free food this winter.In Ipswich, a town in eastern England, local resident Marina Flynn has been a regular visitor to Chantry Library over the past year. "It's a great warm space to come to, obviously with the cost of heating these days," Flynn told AFP as the outdoor temperature registered about five degrees Celsius (41 degrees Fahrenheit)."It's been as cold in my house as outside" this winter, added 54-year-old Flynn, who is unemployed and relies on the library's foodbank that provides donated staples and sanitary products for free."The foodbank I use quite a lot with the cost-of-living crisis, not being able to afford food," said Flynn, who competes to be heard against a babble from babies and toddlers heading home with carers following a musical activity organised by the library.UK public libraries are government-funded via local councils but have suffered from large budget cuts in recent years, causing many to fundraise and rely on volunteers to help bridge gaps. - 'Areas of deprivation' -With inflation soaring worldwide last year on surging energy costs, a charity seeking to improve UK library services produced national guidance for organisations wanting to set up "warm spaces" ahead of the current winter.Local councils are using the guidance -- an idea of money-saving expert and television personality Martin Lewis -- to help set up warm spaces in other community venues such as churches and village halls."The services have been well used," said Nick Poole, chief executive of the library charity CILIP."It's mainly been focused on areas where you've got multiple deprivation or older and vulnerable communities," he told AFP.The government of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is subsidising electricity and gas bills this winter but households and businesses are still left paying far more than a year ago.Poole would rather that extended support services did not exist in Britain's thousands of libraries."But if they're going to, we want them to be safe and welcoming and inclusive."In one corner of Chantry Library stands a small cafe, which provides free hot drinks and soup on Sundays."We have customers come in that are sad and we help them out as much as we possibly can," said Mark Dyer, the eatery's 48-year-old owner.- 'Come for company' -Poole said it feels like "a natural extension of the function of" libraries to be safe and warm spaces."People don't want to admit they're in trouble. People have used the (cost-of-living) services but don't like talking about it very much," he added. Visitors whose needs cannot be met by the library are signposted to other support groups. "I live on my own so I tend to come up here for company," said Flynn, who attends a weekly men's talking group.Later in the day, a group of women gather round a table to knit, while donated clothes hang next to the library's entrance on "kindness racks". "We have had a clothes rack since before the cost-of-living" crisis, said Vicki Mann, manager of Chantry Library."But that has grown given the fact that we don't just offer children's clothes now... and we can't keep it replenished enough."According to Poole, libraries "are always there to meet local needs."But at the same time, we can't do everything for everyone with no money... It's very hard for the libraries to exist themselves. They cost money to heat and light."bcp/rfj/cw/dhc
