How Emmanuel Macron charmed a nation
Macron sold himself as a kind of human antidepressant pill, the incarnation of optimistic renewal. But who is he really?

In 2012, Sophie Pedder climbed a back staircase in the Élysée Palace (no lift in this wing) to visit François Hollande's 34-year-old economic adviser. Like almost everyone who meets Emmanuel Macron, she was charmed. He gives every conversational partner "the uncanny impression, however untrue, that just for that stretch of time he had nowhere else more important to be". Afterwards, he told her, "Come back whenever you like." She did.
Every journalist dreams of having a backstage source who becomes president. For this first-rate biography – which broadens into a portrait of contemporary France – Pedder, the Economist's veteran bureau chief in Paris, has plundered notebooks filled with Macron interviews. Revolution Française offers the best answer in English so far to two big questions: who is this man? And how will he change his country?
Macron isn't a product of the self-reproducing French elite, rather, he comes from the provincial bourgeoisie. He grew up in a two-storey red-brick terraced house in the northern town of Amiens in the Somme. (One great-grandfather, George Robertson, was a butcher from Bristol who had hung on after the First World War.)
Macron's father was a neurologist, his mother a doctor, but his biggest childhood influence was his grandmother, Manette. The first person in her family to stay at school beyond 15, she ended up a headmistress. She taught her grandson to read aged five and in his telling spent "entire days" reading to him from Molière, Racine and François Mauriac. Manette shaped his self-image as an extraordinary person who could do anything. He once asked his parents if he could live with her.
He seems to have grown apart from his parents after falling in love, aged 16, with his married 40-year-old drama teacher, Madame Auzière. His parents disapproved, and the budding liaison became a small-town scandal, but Macron persisted. The most brilliant student in any subject at his Jesuit lycée, and precociously mature, he naturally wanted to shack up with an intelligent adult.
His parents packed him off as a boarder to the state lycée that serves the Parisian establishment, Henri-IV. Only at this point did he join the French elite, while at weekends continuing to court Mme Auzière,
who is today Brigitte Macron. The relationship is key to understanding Macron: he doesn't care about conventions or other people's disapproval. He is a transgressor who does what he wants without self-doubt. He told the novelist Emmanuel Carrère: "I'm claustrophobic about life. I can't stand being shut in, I have to get out, that's why I can't have a normal life. Deep down, my flaw is no doubt that I don't love normal life."
Macron can live multiple lives at once. He reputedly only needs four hours' sleep, doesn't have children, and works unusually fast. This probably buys him seven or eight more productive hours a day than a normal person. One reason he charms in conversation is that he has time and isn't tired.
For a while he followed multiple tracks: he studied philosophy, adopting the undogmatic philosopher Paul Ricoeur (64 years his senior) as his first of many older mentors, but also sailed through the École Nationale d'Administration, the training ground of the French technocratic and political elite. Graduating near the top of his class, he joined the finance ministry's Inspection Générale des Finances – an elite within the French elite.
He had another brief meteoric career as an investment banker with Rothschild, earning about €1m for helping negotiate Nestlé's purchase of Pfizer's baby-food business for $11.8bn. Then in 2012, one of his mentors recommended him to a pal, François Hollande, the freshly elected president.
Macron's four years at Hollande's side gave him a masterclass in how not to be president. Like most recent French politicians, Hollande hadn't dared tell voters that the country needed reform. The economy had been stagnating since the early 2000s. By 2016, no other country spent a greater slice of its gross domestic product on social, health and pension programmes. France's system of life-long labour contracts favoured the mostly older workers who had them, but deterred companies from hiring the young or the legions of unemployed.
Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron
Hollande glossed over all this in his election campaign. Much of French politics pre-Macron consisted of striking empty poses: Nicolas Sarkozy crusaded against the burqa, which was worn by 0.04 per cent of French Muslims, and Hollande slapped a 75 per cent tax on the very few French households with incomes over €1m. The tax was quickly ruled unconstitutional.
France doddered on as before, protecting organised interest groups (union members, notaries, pharmacists, the political class itself) while neglecting outsiders. Halfway through his presidency, Hollande suddenly tried liberal reforms, for which he had no mandate. Voters weren't impressed. In 2014 Macron told Pedder, "Our problem was that we didn't abolish Clause Four before the election," referring to Tony Blair's ditching of the Labour Party's pledge to nationalise industry.
Hollande, who looked like a fat, small-town notary and aspired to be a "normal president", didn't do displays of grandeur. That cost him, because the French expect their president to embody France (whereas the British prime minister is meant to be a mere functionary). Hollande also wasted endless hours gossiping with journalists (he had dreamed of becoming a columnist).
In 2014 Macron quit as Hollande's aide. He considered starting an educational non-profit organisation, and accepted a visiting fellowship at the London School of Economics. But that August, aged 36, he agreed to become Hollande's economics minister. It was an experience that showed him how France could be reformed. In early 2015, he proposed the Loi Macron, a fairly piddling set of reforms, chiefly allowing for freer opening times for shops and the legalisation of coach travel between cities. This was radical enough by French standards to consume 111 hours of parliamentary debate: Macron himself spent 18 hours addressing parliament. But the right couldn't vote for a socialist government's law, and the Socialist Party's far left wouldn't. The government then used emergency decrees to push the bill through.
Macron played the piano until 3am to calm himself down. But the horror show taught him something: public opinion and most individual MPs liked his bill, even if the parties made it a partisan issue. Months later, he told Pedder: "We need to put together two-thirds of the Socialist Party, all the centrists, and part of the centre-right. That would give us a pro-European market-friendly majority in favour of modernising the social model." Pedder didn't realise it then, but he had dreamed up En Marche.
Macron serially charms powerful older men, then discards them. Hollande was an easy mark. Behind the president's back, Macron and other young male technocrats – his natural peer group – plotted a new movement. At first they considered making it a foundation, or a think tank, but it became a new political party.
The leadership recruited fed-up ordinary people around France, who, flying in the face of French electioneering tradition, went door to door campaigning. Macron sold himself as a kind of human antidepressant pill, the incarnation of optimistic renewal. He was a revolutionary from outside politics, but also a technocrat – "the insider's outsider", in Pedder's words, leading "a political insurgency without pitchforks or pikes". That made him safe enough for angry voters to elect. Unlike Hollande, he campaigned on a manifesto that spelled out his planned reforms. He won, and a month later, En Marche gained a parliamentary majority. He had a mandate.
Macron saved France from political doom. When last year's election campaign began, French voters – reeling from large-scale terrorist attacks – were probably more disaffected and Eurosceptic than the British. Their choice of candidates was dismaying. Had Macron not run, the centre right's François Fillon would probably have been elected president even after accusations emerged that he had paid his Welsh wife Penelope and two of their children nearly €1m from the parliamentary payroll, with no evidence that Penelope had a meaningful job. He had also accepted tailored suits worth €13,000 from a lawyer linked to African leaders.
A discredited figure becoming president would have been a gift to the populists. And had the French rejected Fillon, both candidates in the presidential run-off would probably have been anti-European extremists, the Front National's Marine Le Pen and the far left's Jean-Luc Mélenchon. As it was, about half the voters in the first round chose extremist parties. Populism could easily have won in France, as it has in Britain and Italy. Macron's task is to banish that prospect before the next election, in 2022.
Macron seemed to know from day one exactly how he wanted to be president. Part of the plan was grand gestures, starting with his lone spotlit walk across the Louvre's courtyard to assume office. In his first three months in the job, his personal make-up artist billed him €26,000. His self-proclaimed "Jupiterian" style is much-mocked, and probably reveals something disturbing about him, but he is offering a narrative of French grandeur to rival Le Pen's.
Like Britain, France has now embarked on a grand project to remake itself, with the difference that Macron's is reality-based. Foreigners often ask whether he can reform France. In fact, he already has.
En Marche's new MPs – many of them the provincial volunteers of 2016 – know that they only sit in parliament thanks to him. They are voting through his manifesto. Almost the first law that parliament passed was on the "moralisation of politics". This banned MPs from hiring relatives à la Fillon, spending without providing invoices, or moonlighting as consultants. It was an essential step towards restoring trust in politics. Weeks later, parliament approved the sort of labour-market reforms that French governments hadn't even dared try since 1995, when Alain Juppé's attempt faltered amid waves of strikes.
Macron has given employers more freedom to hire and fire workers. They no longer risk being ordered by a court to pay unlimited sums – €200,000, say – if an employee sues successfully for wrongful dismissal. The hope is that companies will become less scared to recruit.
Most trade unions accepted the reforms. The street has remained fairly quiet. This spring's strike by workers of the state-owned railway SNCF seems to be losing impetus. The modest economic upturn that began in Hollande's final year continues.
Macron has also cut French corporation tax, and abolished the wealth tax. Understandably, he's often derided as the président des riches (president of the rich). It's probably not what he intends to be. He aspires to increasing hiring and investment: his ideal is Nordic rather than Thatcherite. However, the immediate effect of Macronism will probably be to make the rich richer.
His approval ratings have slipped recently to 40 per cent, but helpfully for Macron, France's political climate has cooled down. Brexit has done him a favour. When your neighbour jumps off a cliff you become more cautious yourself. The betting must be that in 2022 Macron's base of well-off, well-educated, pro-globalisation French metropolitans helps him to the largest share of the vote in a splintered field.
But there are other, worrying scenarios. Pedder notes the disconcerting resemblance between Macron and Tony Blair. Macron has read Anthony Giddens, and is friendly with Peter Mandelson and Alastair Campbell, but the similarities go beyond policy.
Like Blair, he's a pragmatist, a born actor, who believes he can charm anyone, even a dangerous US president. Like Blair, Macron has learned from life that everything he touches will turn to gold. Blair, at his zenith, decided he could even remake Iraq. Pedder can imagine a similar madness seizing Macron: "Hubris could still get the better of him."
Occasionally Pedder's book shades into hagiography (Macron is, after all, the Economist's dream president), but overall, this is a model biography by a writer who knows and loves France.

Introducing Cousin Tony's Brand New Firebird, one of the hottest new exports to come out of Melbourne, Australia in recent years. After securing fans across their native land with their epic live shows, and their acclaimed debut album "Electric Brown".
The band is fronted by Lachy Rose , an enigmatic singer/songwriter who weaves a shapeshifting mood of dynamic indie rock songs with his multi talented bandmates - Francesca Gonzales, (vocals/keys), multi-instrumentalist Pete Simonsen, drummer Nick Reid and bassist Matt Hayes.
Cousin Tonys debut UK single 'Love is Heartbreak' is set for release on 12th April (Double Drummer /AWAL) ahead of the bands tour.
"Love is Heartbreak" is an ambitious, kaleidoscopic slice of alternative indie-pop that perfectly sets the scene for their forthcoming new album, "New Romancer" to be released mid year. Watching Cousin Tonys perform is an exciting, fun, moving and ultimately rewarding live experience!


Online gambling is growing rapidly in popularity. There are numerous casinos online where you can bet real money or simply practice. This popularity is also growing within the sporting community with online sports books. Basketball is a popular online betting activity between individual professional and college games to March Madness and professional finals.
If you put 30 in your account then the bookie will put the same into your account plus an additional sum, for example 150% matched would mean they credit you 45 in your account. This is called a valued added match bet.
Sweden is within the finest of William Hill's list at the same time, with 9 to 4 odds. Second arrives Russia with 9/2 , Denmark with 10 to 1, United Kingdom with 10 to 1 (much lower in comparison with Titan Bet – certainly the British betting powerhouse doesn't desire to give the UK embarrassingly significant odds). Summarizing out the bottom level are Montenegro, Bulgaria and Malta by having 200 to 1 chance.
Second, decide where and how you will bet. The most convenient way to bet are online sports books, but you should be careful which one to deal with. Also, not all sports book sites accept US customers, since BandarQQ in the US still has an uncertain legal status. You should also look at the deposit bonuses they offer for new accounts, as well as other features such as deposit options and higher limits.


The GCE Data Toolbox is a MATLAB software library that supports metadata-based analysis, visualization, transformation and management of ecological data sets. The toolbox is based on the GCE Data Structure, a specification for storing tabular data along with comprehensive metadata and Q/C information. Metadata fields are queried by toolbox programs for all operations, allowing data values to be managed and analyzed appropriately based on the type of information they represent. This semantic processing approach supports highly automated and intelligent data analysis and ensures data set validity throughout all processing steps. Data structure size is only limited by available computer memory, and large data sets (e.g. >1 million records) can effectively be managed and analyzed using standard desktop computer hardware.
The GCE Data Toolbox also contains a dynamic, extensible QA/QC framework for tabular data sets of any size (see Sheldon, 2008). An unlimited number of QA/QC rules can be defined for each data set attribute, and an array of qualifier flags is transparently managed along with each column and updated dynamically whenever data values are modified or re-ordered. This rule-based QA/QC logic and separation of data values and QA/QC flags obviates the need to delete questionable values from data sets, and permits flexible handling and display of QA/QC information during data analysis and export.
The GCE Data Toolbox also supports mining data directly from the USGS NWIS database, LTER ClimDB/HydroDB database, and the NOAA HADS real-time data server over the Internet. In addition, import filters and metadata templates are provided for NOAA NCDC data, Sea-Bird CTD data files, and Campbell Scientific array-based data loggers, as well as generic delimited ASCII and MATLAB import filters. User-defined data import filters and metadata templates can also be added to the toolbox menus at run time to add support for other data sources.
The GCE Data Toolbox and GCE Data Structure specification were developed using the MATLAB® programming language (The MathWorks, http://www.mathworks.com), and require MATLAB 6.5 (R13) or higher to run. However, a complete suite of graphical user interface programs is provided to augment the command-line functions, allowing users with little or no prior MATLAB experience to use the toolbox with minimal instruction. MATLAB is compatible with all major computer operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Unix/Linux, Sun Solaris, and Apple OS/X.

Is Timothy Spall Suffering From Any Illness? Actor Went Through Extreme Weight Loss Transformation
Timothy Spall is a well-known personality in the United Kingdom thanks to his work as a broadcaster and actor. He rose to prominence as an actor after playing the part of Barry Spencer Taylor in the comedy-drama series Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, which debuted on ITV in 1983 and ran for three seasons.
Spall was born in Battersea, London, on February 27, 1957. His parents, Sylvia and Joseph L. Spall, were the parents of his at the time of his birth. He was the third son that his parents would have out of a total of four boys.
Spall received a nomination for the British Academy Film Award (BAFTA) in the category of Best Actor in a Leading Role for his work in the movie Secrets & Lies, which is considered the film industry's highest honor. In the years that followed, he had roles in a wide variety of films, some of which include Hamlet, Still Crazy, Nicholas Nickleby, The Last Samurai, Enchanted, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, The Damned United, The King's Speech, Ginger and Rosa, Denial, and The Party. Other films in which he appeared include: Nicholas Nickleby, The Last Samurai, Enchanted, and Sweeney Todd:
Enchanted, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and The Damned United are just a few of the other significant films that he has directed.
He provided the voice of Nick, a lethargic and overweight rat, in the movie Chicken Run. Nick was played by him. Peter Pettigrew was a role that he played in all five of the Harry Potter movies, beginning with "Prisoner of Azkaban" and ending with "Deathly Hallows: Part 1." His last appearance as Peter Pettigrew was in "Deathly Hallows: Part 1."
Tim was given the Bancroft Gold Medal and recognized as the most promising actor of the year while he was still in training at RADA and the National Youth Theatre. This recognition came while Tim was still in training.
What Happened To Timothy Spall? Is He Ill?
Myeloid leukemia is a disease that English actor Timothy Spall has been coping with for a sizeable portion of his life. Spall has been a fighter throughout his career. This particular disease is a form of cancer, and as such, it has the ability to have an effect on both the blood and the bone marrow at the same time. This can happen if the disease is allowed to progress unchecked.
The actor has been undergoing treatment for his condition ever since 1996, which was the year when he first began having significant symptoms. He is of the opinion that the most important contributor to the development of the illness is stress.
"I wasn't sure what caused my illness, but stress played a factor," the actor offered his ideas, stating, "The goal right now is to prevent stress from arising in the first place." It helped me develop a better sense of discrimination and perception of the world that was going on around me.
As a direct result of this, I do not experience nearly as much worry as I was anticipating I would regarding my job search. I always make it a point to complete my assignments, since I don't want to experience any anxiety on set as a result of not having adequately prepared myself.
The actor was reportedly informed that he had leukemia just a short time before he was set to visit the Cannes Picture Festival to promote the film Secrets & Lies, which was directed by Mike Leigh and was released in 1996. The information was provided by express.co.uk.
During his visit on The Graham Norton Show, the actor was asked about the time in his life that was in doubt, and he explained it. He stated, "I was diagnosed with leukemia the day I was scheduled to go to Cannes for the promotion, and when I saw everyone coming down the red carpet, I was having my first chemo stuck right to my heart." He was referring to the fact that on the day he was scheduled to go to Cannes for the promotion, he was given the news that he had leukemia.
He was referring to the fact that the cancer was found on the day that he was supposed to travel to Cannes for the promotion. He said this to emphasize the irony.
It was amazing because they were receiving praise, and I was able to pull off the impression of not attempting to peg it, which was a risky move on my part. This made it so that they were receiving praise.
Even though he was concerned about his future at the moment, the actor claimed that he was currently in a profound state and saw life with a tremendous depth of intensity, richness, and emotion. He also indicated that he was currently in a profound state.
The well-known individual ultimately got the all-clear from his doctor and went into remission from his sickness after undergoing two cycles of chemotherapy and three months of treatment. The treatment, thank God, turned out to be effective.
The famous person laughed it off and claimed that he was feeling better when he started ranting at the people in the room whom he cared about the most, saying that "being a small-minded fool should so never be feared." The celebrity was getting better when he started laughing it off and saying that he was. It is proof that you are not going to pass away anytime in the near future."
Even though his treatment was successful, his general health has been slowly deteriorating, and he has also experienced a significant decrease in his body mass. This is despite the fact that his treatment was successful.
What Are the Extreme Reasons Behind Timothy Spall's Weight Loss?
Timothy Spall was able to lose a significant quantity of weight in a period of time that was not overly extended. His dedicated followers have a hard time recognizing him in his new garb now that he has changed. Many individuals think that this is an incredibly unhealthy way to lose such a huge amount of mass in such a short period of time, and they believe that it should be avoided at all costs.
Timothy Spall Weight Loss Transformation
Fans were astonished to see such a large shift in Timothy's weight, and the British actor has only just lately acknowledged that he had weight loss surgery. Fans were shocked to see such a significant change in Timothy's weight. The British actor claims that he has lost those excess pounds, and as a direct result, he has been offered more opportunities to perform. He also claims that he now feels "liberated" now that he has shed those pounds.
The actor who is best remembered for his performance as Harry Potter is now 65 years old, and he has acknowledged that his acting career has improved since he is no longer that "round chap." He has stated that he feels "liberated" as a result of his slimmer and healthier physique, and he has informed the reporters this.
It gave me reason to be concerned that it would remove several roles and features altogether. But the most impressive thing is that ever since I've lost it, I seem to have transitioned into playing parts I would have never played," he stated in an interview with Heart regarding the effect that his remarkable body overhaul has had on his career. The interview was about the impact that his remarkable body overhaul has had on his career. The topic of discussion throughout the conversation was the influence that his remarkable physical transformation has had on his professional life.
"Because of this, I am now able to play without being constrained by the limits that are imposed on me by my physical appearance, which is incredibly helpful to me in my role as a character actor. I used to be the kind of man who was round and avuncular, but those days are long gone. The opportunity to pursue my goal of being a well-known actress has been presented to me, and I intend to seize it. The performer proceeded with their act.
Spall made the decision to drop weight a good number of years ago because, as he noted, "I knew it was dangerous because it may close doors, but I also knew that if I was lucky, it might set me free." I am unsure as to whether or not I was omitted from any segments; however, this is solely due to the fact that no one ever phoned to inform me, "Oh, we were planning to use you when you were overweight, but now we can't." As a result, I have no idea whether or not I was omitted from any of the parts.
The fact that he was able to revitalize his acting career as a consequence of this courageous deed leads him to believe that shedding those extra pounds was a smart decision on his part.
Who Timothy Spall Wife Shane Spall?
Shane Spall, who has stood at Timothy Spall's side for a significant amount of time, is now officially his wife. The pair has been together since 1981 and has three children together, one of whom is Rafa Spall, a prominent and well-established actor in England. The relationship between the couple and Rafa Spall began in 1981. Since 1981, the two people have been together as a pair.
The two have been through a lot together, what with Timothy's fight against cancer and their adventures on the sea once his treatment was successful. The couple has been through a lot together. In spite of this, and despite the fact that they have both been successful and unsuccessful, neither one of them has given up on the other.
Timothy Spall And His Wife Shane Spall
In 1981, the man and woman who would later be known as Timothy and Shane Spall married the knot and exchanged vows in front of family and friends. The couple has been married for more than four decades and has been through a variety of tests and challenges together. These have ranged from the potentially fatal effects of cancer to occurrences that only occur once in a lifetime.
When the woman, who was in London with a mutual friend, went to see one of the 65-year-old man's plays, it was there that he unexpectedly met the woman who would become the love of his life, Spall. When the two individuals were forced to interact with one another, almost immediately they developed feelings for one another. The pair wed and have been together ever since, despite having only been dating for a little over three months after their initial encounter.
Pascale, the couple's first child, was born in 1976; Rafe, the couple's second child, was born in 1983 and is also an actress; and Mercedes, the couple's third child, was born in 1985. All three of Spall and his wife Shane's children are actors. At the present time, the two people can be found making their home in Forest Hill, which is situated in South East London.
Shane was a stay-at-home mother who raised her children while still attending Goldsmith's College in London. This was in contrast to Timothy, who was always working as an actor in a variety of films.
Who Is Timothy Spall Son Rafe Spall? Actor Details
Rafe Spall, whose father is the English actor Timothy Spall, is considered to be the most famous kid of the Spall family, according to the majority of people.
Rafe, an English actor, has appeared in a variety of movies, including Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, The Big Short, The BFG, Life of Pi, Anonymous, A Good Year, One Day, Prometheus, Kidulthood, and Anonymous. Other films he has been in include: Life of Pi, A Good Year, and Anonymous. Films such as Life of Pi, Anonymous, and A Good Year are just few of the others he has worked on.
In addition to portraying roles on the television shows The Shadow Line and Black Mirror, Spall portrayed Pete Griffiths, the show's titular character, in Pete vs. Life from 2010 till 2011. This role lasted for the entirety of the run of the show.
Within the United Kingdom, the program was broadcast on Channel 4. In addition, Rafe had a role in the second installment of the Men in Black franchise, dubbed Men in Black: International.
Shane and Timothy Spall brought their second child, also named Spall, into the world at King's College Hospital in Camberwell, which is located in the city of London. The Spalls are a family with a total of three children.
As he had wanted to be an actor ever since he was a very young boy, his parents decided to give him the name "The Knight of the Burning Pestle," which is the name of the main character in the book "The Knight of the Burning Pestle."
Rafe asserts that he has always struggled with his weight, reaching a maximum of 114 kilogrammes, which is equivalent to 251 pounds, but that because he was offered so many character roles, he made an effort to lose weight, and as a result of his success in getting roles, he lost more than 32 kilogrammes as a direct result of his success in getting roles.
Timothy's son is an adult now; he's been married and started a family of his own with three children. The English actor and the South African actress first came into contact with one another in February of 2008, and they married the marriage on August 14, 2010 after dating for over three years.
They are the proud parents of three children: their first kid, a daughter they named Lena, was born in 2011, their second child, a son they named Rex, was born in November 2012, and their third child, another son, was born in 2015. The family of five may currently be found living in West Kensington, which is located in the city of London in the United Kingdom.

Q: Data Migration and altering tables in one SSDT deployment script I'm using SSDT and MS SQL Server 2012.
And I need to handle next cases in one deployment script:
--1
CREATE TABLE Table1 (Col1 INT)
--2
INSERT INTO Table1(Col1)
SELECT SomeCol FROM SomeTable
--3
ALTER TABLE dbo.SomeTable DROP COLUMN SomeCol
--4
INSERT INTO AnotherTable(AnotherCol)
VALUES(1)
What can I see now in my deployment script:
--Pre-deployment part
--some insert. Will fail because it select/insert from/to not created objects

--Deployment part
CREATE TABLE Table1 (Col1 INT)
GO
ALTER TABLE dbo.SomeTable DROP COLUMN SomeCol
GO

--Post-deployment part
--some insert. Will fail because it select/insert from/to not created objects

How do I need to configure post/pre-deployment scripts?
Is it possible to do it in SSDT automatically during deployment?
Appreciate for any proposals.

A: I'm unsure if this is in the version of SSDT/Visual Studio you're using but as far as I know, in the Database Project type - you can add Pre/Post Deployment scripts by simply adding right clicking your project and adding a Script > Pre/Post-Deployment script.
When you publish this, and generate the script, you'll see the pre and post deployment scripts in the SQLCMD syntax.
In terms of doing it automatically, I don't think what you're asking is possible. Personally, I found generating DACPACs to be quite useful for deployment. Develop your database and publish to a DACPAC and you can almost automate your deployment. However, your specific example requires some knowledge of your implementation, so I can't think of a way it could programmatically know this. Apologies if I'm not reading you correctly.

Brookshire Grocery Opens First In-Store Pizza Hut Kiosks
Pizza Hut kiosks are now operational in two grocery stores By Kat Martin on Nov. 26, 2019

Brookshire Grocery Co. has laid claim to being the first grocery retailer to house Pizza Hut kiosks in two of its stores. The in-store kiosks are now open at Brookshire's at 2734 E. Fifth St. and the Super 1 Foods store at 3828 Troup Highway, both of which are located in the company's hometown of Tyler, Texas.
The move by the 178-store company, which operates stores under four banners in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas, joins a list of retailers who have partnered with popular restaurant names to expand their own foodservice offerings.
"We are excited to be the first retail grocer to offer our customers the convenience of fresh, hot Pizza Hut menu items," said Brad Brookshire, chairman and CEO of Brookshire Grocery Co. "Our company is very proud to partner with Pizza Hut and expand our services in support of our mission to create and deliver exceptional experiences and value to our customers."
The kiosks offer a menu with hot and ready items that include personal pizzas, pastas, hot wings, Hershey's chocolate chip cookies, and Parmesan and pretzel bites. Both are open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The first two outlets are a test, with Brookshire hoping to expand the concept to other stores in Texas as well as Arkansas and Louisiana, according to a local news report.
"We know our Pizza Hut customers crave our signature menu items while on the go," said Chequan Lewis, senior director of Pizza Hut Express. "Opening Pizza Hut's first grocery store kiosk at Brookshire's and Super 1 Food gives us another avenue to meet our customers wherever they are and provide them their favorite pizza and snack items through convenient in-store options."

To the extent that literary works are attempts to construct worlds and societies that "model" our own, cultural anthropology offers a vast array of features on which to focus: myths, marriage customs, taboos, kinship structures, linguistic patternings, gender roles. Similarly, the ties that bind literature and anthropology are everywhere evident in the work of those concerned with systems of values and beliefs: Matthew Arnold's Culture and Anarchy, to use a traditionalist example, could be described as a quasi-anthropological defense of literature, just as Joseph Campbell provides an almost indistinguishable mix of the two disciplinary orientations in his monumental studies of mythology past and present. Within the last decades, furthermore, it is impossible to ignore the impact of Claude Levi-Strauss on Structuralist theorizing; nor might it be too extreme to suggest that the current vogue of ethnic literature owes much to the influence of cultural anthropology.
Yet perhaps the most definitive example of the interaction between literature and cultural anthropology is to be found in the writing of Ursula K. Le Guin. Not only was her father, Alfred Kroeber, one of the pioneering cultural anthropologists whose writings and books are still de riguer reading, but her mother, Theodora, wrote the biography of the last "wild" Native American, Ishi in Two Worlds, and compiled a tome of American Indian myths. Given that Le Guin grew up in a household visited by anthropological scholars, Native Americans, and scientists like Robert Oppenheimer, the way that she describes her fictional projects is not surprising: "My father felt very strongly that you can never actually get outside your own culture. All you can do is try. I think that feeling sometimes comes out in my writing. My father studied real cultures and I make them up - in a way it's the same thing" (qtd. in De Bolt 15-16).
Although this acknowledgment might contain a touch of irony, as Jan Horner has argued in a study of Le Guin's fiction as a critique of her father's methods, it is equally true that the credibility of her worlds owes much to her concern with anthropological accuracy and that a primary strength of her fiction is the consistent attention to the way that cultures operate. Although this aspect of Le Guin's fiction has been generally noted, I wish to look more closely at how Le Guin's knowledge of anthropological theory is evidenced in her depiction of a ritual that in many ways constitutes the basis of social structure: gift-giving. Specifically I wish to focus on the way that this dynamic is played out with increasing sophistication and sensitivity in Le Guin's 4-part saga about the customs and lifestyles of the inhabitants of a fictional world called "Earthsea."
My reason for focusing on this series - and as a series - is twofold: first, if viewed singly and reduced to a plot summary, the "action" of each novel might seem to foreground a single protagonist, whereby fiction would seem to be most at odds with the interactive actualities/politics of "real" life; second, it is only by considering the series as a whole - in which the later novels in the Earthsea saga respond to the earlier ones - that one can appreciate the way that Le Guin translates the sociological theory of "exchange" into a principle for structuring literary works. Bearing in mind, then, this caveat about the dangers of plot summary, but with a view to showing how the respective novels interrelate, let me set the stage for my discussion of "gift-giving" with a brief synopsis of Le Guin's Earthsea saga.

Thales Blog
What it Takes to Achieve Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030
Ahmad Abdallah | Thales CPL Country Manager - Saudi Arabia & Levant More About This Author >
SAUDI ARABIA'S VISION 2030
Through Vision 2030, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) intends to reduce dependence on oil, diversify its economy, and develop public service sectors, such as health, education, infrastructure, recreation, and tourism. Underpinning this initiative is a focus on technology, digital transformation, and the development of digital infrastructure. However according to Cybersecurity Challenges of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Past, Present & Future, "The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia averagely faces 160,000 cyberattacks daily." And, the KSA recognizes their digital transformation will require reinforcing and supporting cybersecurity to protect the Kingdom's vital interests, national security, critical infrastructures, high-priority sectors, and government services and practices.
NATIONAL CYBERSECURITY AUTHORITY
A Royal Decree, dated 31 October 2017, established the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA). The Kingdom considers cybersecurity a shared responsibility, and Royal Decree No. 57231 states that "all government organizations must improve their cybersecurity level to protect their networks, systems, and data, and comply with NCA's policies, framework, standards, controls, and guidelines." NCA developed the Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC-1: 2018) to help organizations meet their obligations and to set a framework of minimum cybersecurity requirements.
Essential Cybersecurity Controls
Intended to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of an organization's information, the Essential Cybersecurity Controls are organized into five domains:
Third-Party and Cloud Computing
Industrial Control Systems and Devices (ICS) Cybersecurity
And the ECC document is a live document in that "NCA will periodically review and update the ECC as per the cybersecurity requirements and related industry updates." This is critical. Analysts at Thales have noted when reviewing the cybersecurity regulations of other countries that they rarely are specifically prescriptive beyond the need to:
Control access to sensitive data;
"Pseudonymize" sensitive data, so the data is worthless if retrieved by a cybercriminal; and,
Maintain complete control cryptographic keys.
Our understanding is that regulations remain vague, because cybercriminals are constantly finding new ways to obtain sensitive data. So, what constitutes a reasonable defense today may not tomorrow. Consequently, for cybersecurity guidelines to be effective over time, they need to be responsive to changes in the cybersecurity environment. Consider, for example, the shift to cloud computing and the recent rise in working remotely driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Both have changed the parameters of data security in terms of where and how data is stored and used. Data security policies need to keep pace.
Indeed, according to Cybersecurity Challenges of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Past, Present & Future, "Cyber-attacks in the past have coerced the [KSA] decision makers to reassess the existing ICT infrastructure, underlying cyber capabilities both offensive and defensive, to cope with the elevating frequency and sophistication."
This is also why it is important to use best-practice data security solutions rather than those that are simply good enough. Good enough might meet today's standards, but it is less likely to meet tomorrow's.
The Importance of Strong Cybersecurity Solutions
Cybersecurity governance is about effectively deploying, monitoring, and managing data security. In addition to offering professional services to help cybersecurity professionals working in and with the Kingdom, Thales can also help enterprises working with Saudi Arabia on the ECC's five domains. Specific technology areas include:
Protection for data at rest and in motion on premises, in the cloud, and in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, including bring your own key (BYOK) service
Encryption key protection and management
Public key infrastructure (PKI) services and hardware security modules (HSMs)
For more information on ECC and how your organization can comply with it, see Saudi Arabia Essential Cybersecurity Controls.

Q: Why jQuery load only when the loading are stopped? I need to add a class :focus when I click on a product, so before it loads the next page you can see a blue rectangle.
I have added a jQuery to do it, so when you click a product it changes the class, and add a new class with a box shadow.
But it only works on desktop not on mobile devices.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('div.product-container').on('click', function() {
    $(this).addClass('aftertap');
  });
});
.aftertap {
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 12px 3px rgba(113, 129, 194, 1) !important;
  -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 12px 3px rgba(113, 129, 194, 1) !important;
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 12px 3px rgba(113, 129, 194, 1) !important;
}

A: Try this. Instead of div's click event, do it on anchor's click event.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('a.product_img_link').on('click', function() {
    $(this).parents('div.product-container').addClass('aftertap');
  });
});
.aftertap {
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 12px 3px rgba(113, 129, 194, 1) !important;
  -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 12px 3px rgba(113, 129, 194, 1) !important;
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 12px 3px rgba(113, 129, 194, 1) !important;
}

A: You could try an hack, simulating a fake delay using setTimeout, before go to next page (you can calibrate delay depending your requirements, in the sample is 800 milliseconds)
$('div.product-container').on('click', function(){
    $(this).addClass('aftertap');
    setTimeout(function(){
         $(this).closest('a').click();
      },800);
});

Although Linux is the last thing on a hacker's mind, still there is no absolute when it comes to security.
So, the blunt truth – Even Linux can be vulnerable.
Here, we share some of the best tools for Linux platform that excel in protecting you from viruses, malware, and rootkit.
We have listed 10 Best Antivirus for Linux.
While malware for Windows is extremely common, there is very little Linux malware that exists in the wild.
It is perhaps the primary reason why most Linux users ignore an antivirus on Linux.
Moreover, Linux is safer than Windows.
For Windows desktop, you head to Google and search for the program that you want to install.
However, when you want to install programs on Linux, you access the package manager and download it from the Linux distribution's software repositories.
These repositories contain trusted software that has been inspected by the Linux distribution.
So, with Linux, there is no running and downloading of arbitrary software.
Moreover, Microsoft is still fixing serious security problems with Windows. However, with Linux, you get security features such as AppArmor and SELinux.
Lastly, Linux has been the domain of geeks who are more computer-literate. Compared to Windows, Linux is not easy a target.
However, there is every reason to stay secure on Linux.
As we have stated above, no operating system is 100% secure from virus attacks.
There are some basic securities practices that you can to follow for staying secure on Linux.
You need to keep your software updated: You need to stay up-to-date with the latest security patches. Browsers and their plugins (Java and Flash) have been the top targets for hackers.
In fact, the biggest malware problem on Mac OS X was due to Java plugin. The same vulnerabilities can happen on Linux systems, as well. Well, you can update all your software on Linux with a single, integrated updater.
Beware Phishing: Phishing can be as dangerous on Linux as it is on Windows. It is the way where hackers create websites that pretend to be other websites.
However, Chrome and Firefox browsers on Linux do offer an anti-phishing filter as they have on Windows. But the phishing filter does not catch everything. You can do well with an Internet security suite for protecting against phishing.
Don't use Commands that you do not trust: The Linux command prompt is very powerful. However, you should develop a habit of asking yourself whether you trust the source before you copy-and-paste a command. It could be a deadly command that you should never run on Linux.
It is potentially vulnerable to virus and malware attacks.
Moreover, you need an Antivirus on Linux when you are running a Linux-based file server or mail server.
If you don't use an Antivirus on Linux, the infected Windows computer will upload infected files to your Linux machine.
The antivirus software scans for Windows malware and deletes it.
So, it's a good practice to use antivirus software on Linux desktops.

Soto, Malone Shortlisted for Koufax Awards?
(GAME DATE – Sep. 16, 2019) — Will St. Pete's Admirals ace Jose Soto snag his 3rd consecutive Sandy Koufax Award? And will the Lake League reward Knuckles Malone with his second? Both pitchers have been exceeding expectations in 2019, but has it been enough?


In England the last Monday in August is a public holiday and many thousands of people take the opportunity to travel to West London for the Notting Hill Carnival. The first carnival was held in 1966 and so this year was the 50th anniversary.
In the 25 years after the Second World War many people emigrated to the UK from Commonwealth countries. Many came from the Caribbean. They are known as West Indians. For West Indians carnival is an important cultural event and over the years the Notting Hill Carnival has become the biggest street festival in Europe.
Planning for the various carnival clubs takes many months. Fund raising takes place for the spectacular costumes that are designed and then made.
The carnival begins with the children's parade. Hundreds of children take part in wonderful glittery costumes. There is also lots of loud music. Some of the youngsters dress as a group whilst others are individual. What is certain is that many hours were spent making the costumes. Colourful feathers and amazing headdresses are to be seen.
Another feature of the carnival is the variety of ethnic foods available from street vendors. The food smells add to the atmosphere created. Sadly there are always some who are out to spoil the fun and police have reported that about 400 were arrested for a variety of crimes. Pick-pocketing is perhaps the most common crime that people are arrested for. The police also relax a little and there are always pictures of police joining in the dancing.


Persistence is not letting inclement weather keep you from taking a hike through the mountains. Stubbornness is refusing to take an umbrella. There is a fine line between those two things; persistence and stubbornness. In fact, the line is so thin that it is hard for a person to self-declare that they are one or the other. We usually need others to tell us.
Lisa Willhite finds herself in a position here at Eminence where she often needs to be persistent. Stubbornness would certainly not do. But she often has to see things through and make sure that they are correct. She often has to be the communicator for various departments and people. When problems arise in production, they often call for Lisa.
Through the tireless efforts of our Relay for Life fundraising team, we are excited to be hosting our first ever Hope Jam concert on Saturday, May 24th at the Kentucky Renaissance Fair in Eminence, KY. All proceeds from this event will go to support Relay for Life.
Headlining this event is JD Shelburne. JD is a country artist that hails from Taylorsville, Kentucky but now calls Nashville his home. He has recently released 2 radio singles "Farmboy" and "Grandma & Garth" nationwide this past year followed by his debut music video for "Farmboy" featuring former University of Kentucky Head Football Coach Joker Phillips on bass guitar.
From the engineers behind the draftsman's desk to the men and women stamping out cold, hard steel, Eminence is built upon hard work and dedication. This month's Employee Spotlight shines on Rodney Tingle, someone who exemplifies both of these traits. Paul "Bear" Bryant used to say, "I'm no miracle man. I guarantee nothing but hard work." Sometimes you need a miracle, but most of the time hard work will suffice. Rodney Tingle is a hard-working and dedicated employee, to say the least.
Eminence is proud to announce the following new Pro Audio and Musical Instrument Loudspeakers and HF products for 2014. See all of these new models at the 2014 Winter NAMM Show booth 4334 in Anaheim, CA, January 23-26.
Additions to the Professional Series include 10″, 12″ and 15″ shallow cast frame models designed to give you high output in tight fitting horn loaded applications. The new Delta Pro 12-450 is a lighter weight version of our popular Delta Pro 12 model, and is designed as a replacement in smaller portable PA cabinets. Like all of our professional audio and musical instrument loudspeakers, our new 1″ exit PSD:2013 and 1.4″ exit PSD:3014 compression drivers are designed and assembled in the USA and pack incredible performance and value.
There are five new guitar speaker models for 2014. We've captured the epitome of British tone with the 12″ CV-75 in our Redcoat series. We are also proud to introduce our first 6″ guitar speaker, as well as two additions to our Legend Series. We are also excited to introduce another addition to our Signature series, the GA-SC64. This vintage voiced speaker is a collaborative design effort with amp guru George Alessandro.

"That woman worked me to death!!" This was a phrase that I heard uttered by a young man who was working along one of the greatest workers that Eminence Speaker has ever seen. He was describing how hard he was working while trying to keep up with Mayme Steinmetz. She is, without a doubt, one of the hardest workers I have ever had the privilege to work with.
I have a unique perspective as I have worked alongside Mayme in the Packing Department and Box Line. When I was an Assistant Supervisor in the packing department, Mayme was always giving 100%. She is a great example to the younger generation of workers coming in as well as those of us that have been here for a few years.
"I was excited to get on here." That is a phrase that many of our veteran workforce at Eminence Speaker have uttered. For much of the history of Eminence Speaker, this has been a tough place to gain employment because the turnover rate had been so low. Once you were in, you stayed in and did everything you could to maintain your employment.
Jane Holbrook is one of those people who are genuinely appreciative of what she has. She is a very dependable worker and her quality of work speaks for itself. She has been married for almost 30 years with 2 children and 4 grandchildren.
There is an old Jewish proverb that says, "I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders." That idea is foreign to most of us. We typically want to lighten the load, do less, and keep ourselves from being tied down or committed to something for very long. But hardly ever does the person asking for lighter burdens accomplish much. If the truth be told, no one ever really goes looking for burdens; they usually find you. Similarly, in the workplace, we typically don't go looking for extra things to add to our daily routines. But nevertheless, extra things find us.
From my own experience of working in production here, you will be hard pressed to find someone more able and willing to shoulder a tough workload than April Suter. April is extremely knowledgeable about everything with regards to our production departments. Her knowledge comes not from simply being told how to do something, but from hours of hard work doing the various jobs.
