Q: SQL Merge two rows with same ID but different column values (Oracle) I am trying to merge different rows into one when they have the same id but different column values.
For example :
    (table1)

    id       colour

    1        red
    1        blue
    2        green
    2        red

I would like this to be combine so that the result is :
    id     colour1    colour2

    1      red        blue
    2      green      red

Or
    id     colour

    1      red, blue
    2      green, red

Or any other variation of the above so that the rows are joined together some way.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

A: Please read my Comment first - you shouldn't even think about doing this unless it is ONLY for reporting purposes, and you want to see how this can be done in plain SQL (as opposed to the correct solution, which is to use your reporting tool for this job).
The second format is easiest, especially if you don't care about the order in which the colors appear:
select   id, listagg(colour, ', ') within group (order by null)
from     table1
group by id

order by null means order randomly. If you want to order by something else, use that in order by with listagg(). For example, to order the colors alphabetically, you could say within group (order by colour).
For the first format, you need to have an a priori limit on the number of columns, and how you do it depends on the version of Oracle you are using (which you should always include in every question you post here and on other discussion boards). The concept is called "pivoting"; since version 11, Oracle has an explicit PIVOT operator that you can use.

A: The following would solve your problem in the first of the two ways that you proposed. Listagg is what you would use to solve it the second of the two ways (as pointed out in the other answer):
select    id,
          min(decode(rn,1,colour,null)) as colour1,
          min(decode(rn,2,colour,null)) as colour2,
          min(decode(rn,3,colour,null)) as colour3
from (
      select id,
             colour,
             row_number() over(partition by id order by colour) as rn
      from   table1
     )
group by  id;

In this approach, you need to add additional case statements up to the maximum number of possible colors for a given ID (this solution is not dynamic).
Additionally, this is putting the colors into color1, color2, etc. based on the alphabetical order of the color names. If you prefer a random order, or some other order, you need to change the order by.

A: Try this, it works for me:
Here student is the name of the table and studentId is a column. We can merge all subjects to the particular student using GROUP_CONCAT.
SELECT studentId, GROUP_CONCAT(subjects) FROM student

Lenglet applauds Messi leadership on and off the pitch
Clement Lenglet is a new arrival at Barcelona, but he has already been struck by the leadership qualities of Lionel Messi.
02 October, 2018 15:32 IST
Barcelona captain Lionel Messi - Getty Images
Lionel Messi is a great captain because he leads by example on the pitch and inspires off the field with words of wisdom, according to Barcelona team-mate Clement Lenglet.
Messi became captain following the departure of Andres Iniesta to Japanese club Vissel Kobe.
But after three successive La Liga matches without a win, some have criticised Barca for having a lack of leadership on the pitch, particularly in the 1-1 draw at home to Athletic Bilbao on Saturday when Messi started on the bench.
His introduction in the second half lifted Barca and he ultimately set Munir El Haddadi up for a late equaliser, but before Messi entered the pitch, Ernesto Valverde's men looked alarmingly devoid of ideas.
Wednesday's Champions League trip to Tottenham is the start of a tricky run of fixtures, which will also see Barca face Valencia, Sevilla, Real Madrid, Real Betis, Atletico Madrid and Inter twice before the end of November, but Lenglet believes in Messi the team has a fine leader to follow.
"He is a leader on the pitch with his extraordinary qualities, but also off the pitch with his experience and his speeches," Lenglet, a new arrival from Sevilla, told France Football.
"He does not express himself often, but when he does so, everyone listens to him. He's always relevant and his [words] resonate with you."
Lenglet is likely to start at Wembley as Samuel Umtiti will serve a one-match ban following his sending off against PSV.

anointedheels: Enjoy the journey on the way to your promise and dreams.
Enjoy the journey on the way to your promise and dreams.
I had a week off mommy-ing since my kids were at camp. I had already made up my mind to indulge heavily in some self-care, enjoying some alone time and doing things for me.
In the process, I schedule a mini staycation. I've been wanting to do so solo traveling, that was my chance.
I found the number one Beach in America is about 3 hours from me. I hop in my car, plugged the GPS and I'm heading my dream destination. I was daydreaming about what must be so cool about that particular beach. What warranted the title of "#1 beach in America"? I was excited and nervous, I couldn't wait to get there to see what so special about this beach.
BUT, y'all it was a 3-hour drive!
I don't like driving, 3 hours could as well be 15 hours. so Y'all know I was antsy, itchy and impatient.
I keep glancing at the GPS like if I stare hard enough, I'll get there faster.
I live on the east side of Florida and Siesta Beach AKA #1 beach in America is on the west coast. As I'm crossing from one end to the other, the middle of Florida is pretty uneventful.
pastures after pastures, cows, horse, vultures eating road kill, bugs blah blah blah!
Can I get there already? I need to see Beach! blue crystal water and sands!
in the middle of my internal tantrum, I got a God check! like I would do to my kids.
Right then I started getting these downloads right in my heart.
it was such a picture of how we treat life. We set our sight on our dreams which are great but forgot to enjoy the journey toward our destination.
The journey can be long, messy, stinky but you stop to pay attention, there are glimpses of beauty all around.
On my way to the dream/ #1 Beach in America, I encounter rain, bugs, nasty smells but there were also beautiful green pastures for miles, herds of cow grazing the pastures, beautiful horses.
The ride was amazing once I stop being anxious to get there. Once I stop to appreciate to beauty where I was. Yes, I was still looking forward to my destination, but the journey was half the fun!
there's a grace for where you are!
Are your children small, and you have to do everything for them?
Are you single? married? in between jobs? wherever you are in life right now, there's a grace for that!
If you're planted "there" you are meant to bloom "there"! Wherever "there" may be for you. There's beauty "there"
Enjoy the journey, and bloom where you're planted!

What did Jefferson allow Monroe and Livingston to France?
What did Thomas Jefferson send Robert Livingston and James Monroe to France?
What were Livingston and Monroe authorized to do when they went to France?
What was Thomas Jefferson's goal for Robert Livingston in France?
What agreement did Napoleon and Livingston make?
What was Robert Livingston sent to France to do?
What lands did Jefferson originally approve Monroe and Livingston to buy from France how much could they offer France for these lands?
What did Jefferson want to deliberate before the treaty was approved?
What did Thomas Jefferson say in regards to the French potentially controlling New Orleans?
Why did Thomas Jefferson want to acquire New Orleans and Louisiana from France?
What did Jefferson instruct Harrison do?
What was Thomas Jefferson's tone in the letter to Robert Livingston What does that tell you about his feelings toward France controlling Louisiana?
In addition to making military preparations for a conflict in the Mississippi Valley, Jefferson sent James Monroe to join Robert Livingston in France to try to purchase New Orleans and West Florida for as much as $10 million. Failing that, they were to attempt to create a military alliance with England.
Monroe and Livingston were authorized by Congress to offer up to $2 million to purchase the east bank of the Mississippi; Jefferson secretly advised them to offer over $9 million for Florida and New Orleans. Napoléon initially resisted U.S. offers, but changed his mind in 1803.
THIS IS FUNNING: What happens French exit?
A short time later he sent another ambassador, James Monroe, to help Livingston. Robert Livingston was the American ambassador to France in 1802. He was ordered by President Jefferson to discourage France from taking over Louisiana, but if that didn't work, to try to buy New Orleans and Florida.
The Americans thought that Napoleon might withdraw the offer at any time, preventing the United States from acquiring New Orleans, so they agreed and signed the Louisiana Purchase Treaty on April 30, 1803, at the Hôtel Tubeuf in Paris. The signers were Robert Livingston, James Monroe, and François Barbé-Marbois.
Livingston, the U.S. minister at Paris, to take two steps: (1) to approach Napoleon's minister, Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, with the object of preventing the retrocession in the event this act had not yet been completed; and (2) to try to purchase at least New Orleans if the property had actually been transferred …
Jefferson authorized them to negotiate up to $10 million. Monroe and Livingston learned that Napoleon had given up his desire to recreate an empire in North America. France offered the U.S. the entire Louisiana territory—more than 800,000 acres from Louisiana to the Rockies and beyond—for $15 million.
The purchase treaty had to be ratified by the end of October, which gave Jefferson and his Cabinet time to deliberate the issues of boundaries and constitutionality. … The Senate ratified the treaty on October 20 by a vote of 24 to 7.
THIS IS FUNNING: What effect did the French Revolution have on the Catholic Church quizlet?
Jefferson decided that he did have the authority to buy Louisiana, reasoning that a President, under the Constitution, was allowed to make treaties. Therefore, he considered the purchase as part of a "treaty" with France.
President Thomas Jefferson had many reasons for wanting to acquire the Louisiana Territory. The reasons included future protection, expansion, prosperity and the mystery of unknown lands. … President Jefferson knew that the nation that discovered this passage first would control the destiny of the continent as a whole.
Jefferson, in a lengthy letter to William Henry Harrison, military governor of the Northwest Territory, explained the nation's policy "is to live in perpetual peace with the Indians, to cultivate their affectionate attachment from them, by everything just and liberal which we can do for them within the bounds of reason …
The author's tone is one of concern and fear. Jefferson would read this letter with a tone of fear of France having a strong presence on the continent of North America.

Claire Beck's top tracks of 2020
by Nialler9
SoFFT Nights announce Pillow Queens, ROE, Art Of Algebra for Dunderry Park shows
Claire Beck's Saturday SoundSystem is on the radio every Saturday 9pm – Midnight on Today FM . Check out her socials, shows and playlists.
Here are her top tracks of the year.
What a year 2020 has been. Like the rest of the music industry, my March was filled with an onslaught of gig cancellations and I spent the first fallow summer of my adult life reminiscing about my usual weekly diet of clubs and festivals, vowing never to take them for granted again. My weekly radio show was my lifeline. Driving alone every Saturday night from the extreme isolation of the countryside into a deserted Dublin City, to a lonely studio to play tunes that I thought (hoped) would hit the right notes with the people listening at home, even though they were untested on a dancefloor. This year has made me truly grateful for the unique connection and sense of togetherness that live DJing, communal dancing and watching live music gives us. Sending all of my love to the community and I'm looking forward to raving together again soon.
Róisín Murphy – Róisín Machine
You could say choosing an album for the number 1 spot is cheating. Or, you could accept that Queen Roisin said that she designed the album to be listened through as one continuous track, so who am I to split them up? Roisin is a national treasure, a true artist, a blessing to us all. This album was one of the greatest gifts of 2020 and I'm so grateful for Queen Roisin and everything she does for us.
Alan Dixon – Acid Drop
Another 2020 casualty that should have been one of the highlights of the year. A relentless 303 bassline lubing up to a monstrous piano build and break – top of my list to play for a sweaty dancefloor as soon as I can.
Bicep – Atlas
Even though I didn't get to play this out or dance to it in a crowd this year, I've retroactively attached it to a montage of former dancefloor and festival memories. I know when I finally do get to hear it over a big system with my pals, it'll be just as sweet in real life as it is in my head.
CMAT – I Wanna Be A Cowboy, Baby!
My introduction to CMAT was through the Nialler9 livestream during Lockdown 1.0 so thanks for that. I love everything about CMAT – her music, her message, her incredible songwriting, her hair… I wish I'd had a CMAT to look up to when I was a teenager. Also, 'always the cowboy, never the cow' is the lyric of the year if not the decade.
Horse Meat Disco & The Phenomenal Handclap Band – Sanctuary
Love & Dancing is one of my favourite albums this year. While a lot of the genre relies on samples and re edits, Horse Meat Disco set out to create a totally original, modern disco record and they nailed it. The Amy Douglas and Kathy Sledge collaborations on the album are favourites but there's something about the understated groove in 'Sanctuary' that I keep going back to.
Eats Everything – Honey
One of the most requested tunes on my radio show this summer. It's such a ridiculously over the top, silly, fun, banger of a track. I wish I'd witnessed people injuring themselves deathdropping to it in person.
Fiona Apple – Cosmonauts
Fetch The Bolt Cutters might be her best album so far and 'Cosmonauts' is the highlight of it for me. Layers and layers of her genius summed up and laid neatly over each other in one track. I locked myself out of the gaffboat during the summer and pals were shouting FETCH THE BOLT CUTTERS at me as I tried (and failed miserably) to cut the lock off. 'Cosmonauts' for some reason is the tune that reminds me of that day. An angle grinder is your only man for breaking a boat quality padlock, FYI.
Pillow Queens – Holy Show
All hail the Queens. It's been a joy to follow their journey and their debut album In Waiting was every bit as great as I expected. I've chosen the album opener as every time I put the record on and Holy Show starts, I'm excited to hear the whole thing, and then usually play it again right away.
For Those I Love – I Have A Love
A phenomenal piece from a gifted and important artist with so much to say, and the grace and talent to say it so eloquently.
Caribou – Never Come Back
I'm surprised not to see this on more lists. I think it's a combination of the January release date seeming like about five years ago, and the fact that it should have been one of the big summer bangers but sadly we didn't get to rave to it in mucky fields so maybe it got forgotten?

Phylogeography study of Toxicodendron radicans ssp hispidum and orientale in East Asia.
In order to investigate the genetic diversity, phylogeography, possible dispersing pathway and refugium within and among natural populations on the two subspecies of Toxicodendron radicans in Asia, was analyzed by using sequence data of organelle genome. T. radicans in Asia, known as the relative or complex of North American poison ivy is a perennial climbing deciduous woody shrub. Populations are distributed in the monsoon Asia, including Southwest China, Taiwan and Japan, where the geological history is largely affected by plate tectonics, island formation, and Pleistocene glaciations. Gillis (1975) reclassified Rhus ambigua in East Asia to T. radicans and devided to two subspecies. One subspecies, T. radicans ssp. hispidum, is distributed in Southwest China, while another one, ssp. orientale, is distributed in Japan. Asian poison ivy is an ideal model for estimating population diversity, migration, speciation, vicarance and phylogeographical reconstruction. Using sequences of highly diverse regions in organelle DNA was used to investigate the phygeographical pattern, dispersing pathway and refugium of Asian poison ivy.

Scuba Fin Maintenance centers around maintaining your enjoyment, with that said there are two things that can affect fin enjoyment and performance. Number one is standing the fins of their tips. It really does not matter how long, eventually the fins will begin to warp and disfigure.
The second thing that can affect scuba fin enjoyment and performance is heat. Getting stuck in a divers hot truck, with other pieces of scuba gear on top, most fins will warp pretty quickly. The most famous deforming fin was the US Divers blade fins, after a couple of years, these fins look like some sort of circus clown fins.
Before each dives, give your dins one lat check. Look at the foot pocket or fin straps. It is always a long walk back to the cat if your fin strap breaks or your foot pocket rips at the start of the dive.
As with all of your scuba gear, always wash with fresh water and double check your foot pockets or fins straps. If you need to replace something, now you will have time. Consider investing in a save-a-dive kit.

Kalulini Boys' Secondary School
With more than 900 students, Kalulini Boys' Secondary School struggles to meet the water demands of its students and staff. Water is trucked in from Kibwezi Town which is more than five kilometers away from the school. That supplements the water gathered on the school grounds by small rainwater tanks.
Water provided to boarding students is highly rationed, making their stay in school miserable with each student provided a limited amount of water for washing and showering. It is also very expensive for the school to pay for the water deliveries. It costs $100 per delivery of 16,000 liters of water. For perspective, the school should be using roughly 4,500 liters per day, but it can only afford four deliveries per month.
That is not nearly enough to alleviate the school's water problems. Kalulini Boys' Secondary School is paying too much for water and its students are still suffering from a water shortage.
There are academic impacts, too. The school's science lab needs an adequate supply of clean water for cleaning lab apparatus and conducting experiments, and it is expensive to provide enough water for the lab. The fourth year agriculture students must also scramble for water to help with their garden projects. This has greatly affected the performance of these subjects in final year examinations as well as discouraging students from lower classes towards specializing in the subject.
"The school has been running out of clean water for drinking. We are forced to drink water from the community borehole which is at times colored and unsafe," said John George, a 16-year-old student.
"Drinking it may bring health complications. The existing water points are not enough to serve the big student population. Sometimes students lack water for basic things like for washing and taking shower because of the congestion and struggle at the water points."
Kalulini Secondary School was started by Kalulini Community in 1978 as a community school to provide a good opportunity for pupils attending Kalulini Primary School. The school was later taken up by the Kenyan government to operate under the Kibwezi District Education Board. Kalulini Secondary has grown to its current status through the support of parents and the Kenyan government.
The school is found in a peaceful rural location. The immediate surroundings are dry with limited vegetation cover, whereas the school compound is well covered with planted trees comprised mainly of exotic breeds. Buildings within the school are decent and of modern standard, while those in the surrounding communities exhibit high levels of poverty and poor living conditions.
Here's what we're going to do about it:
We will build a 104,000-liter rainwater catchment tank for this school. This water will benefit the students, teachers, and supplementary staff. Parents will mobilize the materials needed for construction, such as sand and stone. They will also lend some strong arms to help with the actual construction.
The huge capacity of this tank makes the others look tiny in comparison; 104,000 liters should alleviate the water needs of students and staff during the dry season. As soon as the tank has time to cure, it can begin to collect rainwater for drinking, cooking, and cleaning!
Students and staff will be trained for one day. Those in attendance will form a school health club that will promote good hygiene and sanitation practices both at school and home. They will learn all of the steps to proper handwashing, how to treat water, and how to keep their environment clean. The school will also be taught how to best oversee and maintain their new rainwater catchment tank and handwashing stations.
Three handwashing stations will be delivered at the project's completion. These are 1,000-liter plastic tanks fitted with four taps. The health club and school management will be responsible for making sure tanks are filled with water and that a cleaning agent such as soap or ash is available.
08/21/2019: Kalulini Boys' Secondary School Project Complete
Kalulini Boys' Secondary School in Kenya now has access to a new source of safe, clean water thanks to the completion of their rain tank, which has the ability to collect 104,000 liters of water. We installed handwashing stations and we trained students and staff on improved sanitation and hygiene practices. All of these components work together to unlock the opportunity for these students to live better, healthier lives.
Kalulini Boys' Secondary School is affiliated with the Kumina Wauni Self-Help Group, since most of its members' children attend here. These parents and school administration approached the self-help group committee and requested their help in alleviating the water shortage at the school.
A meeting with all of the parents and the Head Teacher was then held to plan out the project. Parents agreed to collect construction materials like sand, rocks, and water. We would complement their materials by delivering the expertise, tools, lumber, metal, cement, and gutter system.
The school community was well prepared for the tank construction. All the local materials required for the construction were prepared on time thus making the actual construction work a smooth exercise leading to timely completion of the project.
Waiting for the cement to cure
This tank is a whopping 104,000 liters not because of a large student population, but because of how rarely it rains in Southeastern Kenya. The more water we can store during the seasonal rains, the more water available through the dry months.
Construction for this large rain tank is much like the construction of a concrete house. First, the ground is leveled for foundation excavation.
Alternating layers of impermeable rocks are laid upon mortar up to 7 feet high, with internal and external diameters of 25 and 28 feet respectively.
Gutters to capture rainwater for the tank
A reinforced concrete column is built right up to the center of the tank, which holds up the roof and prevents it from caving in. The walls are then plastered both internally and externally with waterproof cement. After that, several feet of guttering is installed and channeled into the tank. The roofing is made of iron sheets and timber. There are vents to allow rainwater into the tank from the gutters.
School leadership is armed with the technical skills to ensure that the water tank remains functional, and gaps that exist can be identified through our ongoing monitoring visits.
Tank with fresh paint
"We are very happy to be beneficiaries of this amazing water project. Our school has struggled with a limited supply of water," said Principal Josephat Murungi.
"This project will help alleviate the water crisis here by providing clean drinking water. And the tank will boost our water storage capacity to help us hold more water for the many needs throughout the day."
Our field officer, Veronica Matolo, informed the school leadership about the need for hygiene and sanitation training at the institution. The training was planned and organized through direct communication with the school Principal Murungi. He set a date for the training and reached back to Ms. Matolo to prepare. All of the 960 students at the school attended the training. Some had to leave early to study for their exams, but our teams were pleased with the attendance.
The training venue was outside in the school compound under a big tree that had sufficient shade for us all. The soapmaking was done in the school dining hall. Because of the hot weather, the room was very warm, but we managed to successfully complete the process.
All the students participated and were very eager to learn despite the limited time that we had for the training. We went over topics including student health club activities; disease transmission; preventing the spread of disease; personal hygiene; handwashing; water hygiene; food hygiene; latrine hygiene; and soapmaking.
The students identified soapmaking as the most interesting and memorable activity. The participation and the many questions they asked really showed a group that will benefit from this activity.

"The soapmaking has made us start thinking of starting a business since the chemicals are locally available and the soap is multi-purpose. I am sure that many people love it," said George Mumo, a 17-year-old student.
The new handwashing stations were delivered in time for training so that they could be used for handwashing demonstrations. Each of these has 3 taps so that 6 students can wash their hands at the same time.
07/11/2019: Kalulini Boys' Secondary School Project Underway
A severe clean water shortage at Kalulini Boys' Secondary School drains students' time, energy, and health. Thanks to your generosity, we're working to solve this issue by building a clean water point and much more.
Get to know this school through the introduction and pictures we've posted, and read about this water, sanitation, and hygiene project. We look forward to reaching out with news of success!
Giving Update: Kalulini Boys' Secondary School
A year ago, your generous donation helped Kalulini Boys' Secondary School in Kenya access clean water – creating a life-changing moment for Samuel. Thank you!
There's an incredible community of monthly donors who have come alongside you in supporting clean water in Kalulini Boys' Secondary School.
This giving community supports ongoing sustainability programs that help Kalulini Boys' Secondary School maintain access to safe, reliable water. Together, they keep The Water Promise.
"Life was very challenging here at school before the construction of the water tank. Water would run out very fast, and we would always have to postpone personal cleanliness until boozers brought in the water. At times, the water boozers would delay their delivery, which would disrupt the daily school programs. We would stay for days or weeks during the dry seasons without showering, washing our dormitories or clothes. It was very uncomfortable studying without having showered. The classrooms were also very dirty," said Samuel L, a 16-year-old student.
"Fetching water from the school water tank is very user-friendly for the students because it is within the school compound, and there are no restraints or strains to get to it. Water is readily available for use by the students, which has helped improve the students' general hygiene and sanitation. There's no more overcrowding around the water source as it was before. We bathe daily, wash our clothes regularly, clean our dormitories daily and classrooms. Showering daily has boosted our concentration levels in class. Also, we have managed to adopt the handwashing practices that have helped reduce the spread of diseases and cases where students complain of illnesses."
"The availability of water in school has enabled me to have ample time for studying. I can concentrate better in class because there's no struggle to get water like before. Since the water tank construction in our school, I created a personal study timetable for after classes and during the weekends. This has been made possible through the availability of water for cleaning at any time of the day as there are no pressures of fighting for water like before. The water is enough for all the students. I plan to improve my performance academically."
Navigating through intense dry spells, performing preventative maintenance, conducting quality repairs when needed and continuing to assist community leaders to manage water points are all normal parts of keeping projects sustainable. The Water Promise community supports ongoing sustainability programs that help Kalulini Boys' Secondary School maintain access to safe, reliable water.
The most impactful way to continue your support of Kalulini Boys' Secondary School – and hundreds of other places just like this – is by joining our community of monthly givers.

Latest updates and analysis on how government and regulators' decisions will impact the sector
Ofwat urged to limit executive bonuses for pollution failures
After a year-long investigation, the Environmental Audit Committee's report into river health in England has urged regulators to take a firmer position on pollution incidents, saying Ofwat should consider limiting bonuses to water company executives for failing to tackle the problem. The committee's chair Philip Dunne spoke to Utility Week about the report, which also called for licence conditions to be revised to require year-on-year reductions in pollution towards a target of zero serious incidents by 2030.
Miliband calls for 'root-and-branch reform' of energy regulation
Shadow secretary for climate change and net zero Ed Miliband has called for "root-and-branch reform" of energy regulation, saying failures over the last decade have left the UK more exposed to high energy costs than other countries in Western Europe. Speaking during a House of Commons debate on Labour's motion to cut VAT on household energy bills, which was subsequently defeated, Miliband also accused the government of being "paralysed" in the face of a cost-of-living crisis.
MPs pass nuclear financing bill
Government legislation to establish a new financing mechanism for nuclear power has been approved by MPs despite Labour warnings that safeguards should be created to ensure it does not become a "milch cow" for consumers. The House of Commons voted overwhelmingly to back the legislation, which allows the Regulated Asset Base (RAB) model for financing infrastructure to be used to nuclear projects.
Peter Simpson: The stakes are too high to fail
Peter Simpson reflects on the year just passed and looks ahead to 2022. The water sector is facing unprecedented challenges that Simpson says will take new levels of cooperation to meet. He says it must reach out and work with other sectors if it hopes to make real improvements around rivers, pollution and climate adaptation.
Shaping our Future System Operator- are we on the right track?
Given its perceived role in unlocking the true potential of the UK's energy system as it transitions to net zero, the conversation around the Future System Operator no longer centres on if, but when and how. Utility Week gauged the views of smart grid and system operation leads across the energy sector on the roles and responsibilities of the new body and how a functional FSO can be achieved as quickly as possible.
ED2 seasonal reading
After distribution network operators (DNOs) published their final RIIO ED2 business plans last month, Grid Edge Policy director and former Ofgem partner, Maxine Frerk, tries (and struggles) to draw some comparisons. Given their various inconsistencies and sheer size – amounting to ten of thousands of pages when including the supporting documents - Frerk asks: who are they expecting to read them?
Latest in Policy & regulation
Energy suppliers could face fines because they can't find most vulnerable customers
Energy suppliers are still struggling to deliver their obligations to the poorest and the most vulnerable, Ofgem figures confirm. The firms have until the end of the year to deliver enough insulation and energy saving measures to them or face being fined up to 10 per cent of their turnover.
"Hands-off" affordability strategy won't work, says Labour
Concern is mounting over the government's "hands-off" approach to helping people afford their water bills.
Regulator to grant Severn Trent licence to compete in Scotland
The Scottish regulator has confirmed it proposes to grant Severn Trent a licence to provide water and sewerage services north of the border.
Ofgem figures confirm solar scramble following subsidy cuts announcement
There has been a massive increase in domestic solar PV installations since the government announced plans to reduce subsidies last autumn with a further 276MW installed since the original 12 December cut of date alone, figures from Ofgem have confirmed.
Iberdrola fined after switching customers in Spain
Iberdrola has been fined €10,685,000 by Spanish competition authorities because it switched customers to its free market arm without their consent.
Moody's warns over water reform proposals
Water sector credit risk may increase as a result of planned government and regulatory reforms, ratings agency Moody's has warned.
European parliamentary committee votes to speed up binding energy efficiency regulations
The European Parliament's industry, research and energy committee has prepared the ground for detailed negotiations with European Union (EU) ministers over the shape of a new EU energy efficiency directive.
Decc and Ofgem turn on to offshore wind 'supergrid' savings
Connecting offshore wind to the UK transmission system could be cheaper and easier if it was better co-ordinated, a report published today by Ofgem and the department of energy and climate change suggests.
UK power transmission firms 'must spend €19 billion by 2020'
UK grid firms need to spend €19 billion as part of a total €104 billion of European Union (EU) investments on transmission network priorities up to 2020, according to a new report.
What we want by 2032
Consumer organisations tell Utility Week how they want utilities to respond to customers' needs in the next 20 years.
What do you see? Making the most of data presentation
How best should usage data be presented back to customers to encourage value-added services? Adam Westbrooke looks at the options.
What does a successful energy market look like?
Before asking Ofgem to resolve issues in the retail market, we need to form a consensus on what a successful market would look like, say Richard Postance, Advisory Partner at Ernst & Young.

The world's highest al fresco restaurant, Sirocco serves up Mediterranean-style cuisine accompanied by award-winning wines and breathtaking Bangkok views.
Sitting adjacent to Sky Bar, the rooftop bar made famous by the film The Hangover 2, Sirocco is proud to call itself the world's highest al fresco restaurant, offering stunning sweeping views over the Chao Praya river and Bangkok city skyline.
Split into two sections – a plush interior restaurant based inside a Greco-Roman style building called The Dome and an al fresco dining area out on the rooftop – Sirocco serves up contemporary Mediterranean cuisine in what can only be described as sumptuous surroundings.
The Dome features its own glass-fronted wine coolers, filled with a vast array of private label wines available for sipping by the glass or the bottle, along with an impressive selection of champagnes. If the dizzying views put you more in the mood for a cocktail, the highly-skilled bartenders from Sky Bar outside can whip you up any number of concoctions, including an aptly named Hangovertini (green tea liqueur, apple juice and rosemary honey).
There's a nightly live jazz band providing a soothing musical accompaniment to proceedings at Sirocco and a strict dress code is always in place to ensure that high standards are maintained.
Food and drinks aren't cheap, but are created with the best of ingredients (foie gras, lobster, pigeon and scallops are regular staples on the dinner menu) and the breathtaking views that you'll get to enjoy balance out the slightly higher price tags.
Reservations are recommended, particularly on the weekends, and if it's an unobstructed view you're after, get there earlier in the evening.

A Mississippi woman on Death Row was granted a new murder trial Monday by the Mississippi supreme court, days after her execution by lethal injection was postponed.
Michelle Byrom, 57, would have been the first female convict to be executed in the state since 1944, and the 54th woman to have been executed in the United States since 1900. Her capital murder conviction has been reversed, and a lower court will hear her new trial.
Prosecutors accused Byrom of plotting her abusive husband's murder-for-hire, committed by her son's friend Joey Gillis, to collect $350,000 and his life insurance policy, which led to her 2000 capital murder conviction.
But Byrom's son confessed to committing the crime in three different letters, excerpts of which were published in the Jackson Free Press, written to his mother and to a court appointed psychologist. Edward Byrom Jr. recanted and testified against his mother to get a lighter sentence, and he was released from prison last year. According to the Clarion-Ledger, Byrom admitted to committing the crime after a sheriff asked if she would let her son go to jail for the crime.

Q: Using Packaging 2 can I reference a non namespaced field from a namespaced package So, we're trying to convert out metadata into packages and namespaces, and it's proving to be difficult.
Right now we have 2 different domains and we've created a namespace for each of those domains (gui_tkt, and gui_fin) respectively. Both are isolated pieces of development, and thus both might have their own respective triggers on the same objects, etc. Although one trigger per object is sometimes considered best practise here, we're getting into spaghetti code here, and it's now difficult to manage.
In addition to the above, we have a lot of existing configuration with data. Ideally we would namespace these objects/fields too, however that would then require a data migration since we'd have duplicate fields, etc. Our solution up until now is to have a package without a namespace for these fields.
The issue we've seen is that we can make a namespaced package with a dependency on non namespaced package, however we get deployment errors when deploying the namespaced package to a sandbox org. When developing, we develop in a namespaced SFDX org, and after deploying the "Base" non namespaced package above, all fields/objects are recreated (from the base), however it looks like they're created in the namespace of the dx org too.
When deploying the non namespaced package to an org, all config gets created as expected, however when deploying the namespaced package that depends on the non namespaced, we start getting errors that the fields don't exist (which they do). Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Antony Martin Roberts (17 November 1938 – 2000) was an Australian race and rally driver.

Career
Roberts won the 1968 Datsun 3 Hour Trophy at Sandown in Melbourne with Bob Watson, giving the Holden HK Monaro GTS327 a debut victory. In 1969 Roberts, then a prominent rally driver competing for a major Holden dealership, and with just a single season of circuit racing experience, was invited by Harry Firth to join his newly formed Holden Dealer Team and went on to take victory co-driving with Colin Bond in the 1969 Hardie-Ferodo 500 HDT Holden HT Monaro GTS350.

Roberts and Bond won the 1970 Rothmans 12 Hour at Surfers Paradise, also in an HDT Monaro GTS350. Then Roberts drove a Holden Torana sports sedan which was used as a prototype for the Torana GTR XU-1 which debuted later in the year.

During the 1970 Hardie-Ferodo 500 Roberts was involved in a sensational incident late in the race when, after losing control, he launched his Ford XW Falcon GTHO Phase II backwards over Skyline before tumbling down the hillside.

Roberts made seven starts in the history of the Bathurst 1000, after his impressive debut with a third place (with Bob Watson) in 1968. Roberts (with Colin Bond) won Bathurst in 1969.

Roberts was the first three-time winner of Australia's Alpine Rally in 1966 (with Peter Haas as navigator), 1967 (with Peter Haas as navigator) and 1968 (with Mike Osborne as navigator).

Tony Roberts died in 2000.

Roberts was posthumously inducted into the Victorian Rally Hall of Fame in 2014. The award was accepted by his daughters Samantha and Tiffany.

Personal life
Roberts was born Antony Martin, on 17 November 1938 at home in Walmer, Kent, England, the eldest of two sons.

In 1951 at the age of 12 years, Roberts, his parents and younger brother migrated to Australia as ten pound POMS. They settled in Melbourne.

Roberts attended Prahran Technical School and graduated at the end of year 10. He worked for a time at General Motors Holden as a draftsman.

In 1963, Roberts married Helen Marjorie Renfree, an accomplished equestrian.

In 1970, their first daughter Samantha Marjorie was born and in 1972, their second daughter Tiffany Elizabeth.

In 1976, Helen died at the age of 32 leaving Roberts to raise their young daughters single-handed.

Roberts continued to run and manage his own automative service business and later became a Saab dealer. Unfortunately in the mid-1980s, Roberts was forced to close his business and as a result, his mental health deteriorated.

Roberts suffered from mostly untreated clinical depression for the last 15 years of his life as a result of a cumulation of very challenging life events including widowhood and unresolved grief, single parenthood and the loneliness this entails, the difficult transition from sporting fame and accolades to a civilian life and losing his sense of identity with the closure of his business, at a time when men did not seek help and acknowledgement of mental health issues was taboo. Combined with type II diabetes that was poorly managed, Roberts died at home in 2000 at the age of 61.

Tiny houses at a big crossroad
Catherine Kavanaugh
Twenty-five tiny houses are under construction by Cass Community Social Services, a Detroit nonprofit group. The houses are being built for cash-strapped students and youths aging out of the foster care system, senior citizens and the homeless.
Detroit — Twenty-five tiny houses are under construction in a blighted Detroit neighborhood by a non profit group with a plan that could become a national model for helping people who earn about $12,000 a year become homeowners in seven years.
Energy efficiency is a top priority for the diminutive dwellings being built by Cass Community Social Services for cash-strapped college students, young adults who have aged out of the foster care system, senior citizens and homeless people.
Nine inches of fiberglass insulation and vinyl windows by Genex Window and Door Co., which is based in the Detroit suburb of Warren, are two of the building products selected to keep utility bills at a minimum for the rent-to-own residents of the 250- to 400-square foot houses.
"It's not only a small space but a green space," said the Rev. Faith Fowler, executive director of the agency and pastor of Cass Community United Methodist Church, as she stood inside a 300-square foot Tudor-style tiny house. "I'm told the electric and heating bills for the first house, in the middle of February, when it's cold in Michigan, should be $32 because we have 9 inches of insulation and very energy efficient windows."
The tiny house trend started as a way of living simple. Proponents extol the advantages of a minimalist lifestyle. They own fewer things, have less clutter. They reduce their energy consumption. They pay fewer bills. They spend less time on house work. They also can travel if their tiny house is on wheels — but that's not the case with the Detroit homes, which are on foundations.
"Our people don't own cars and we want to help repopulate a neighborhood," Fowler said.
In the last couple years, the appeal of living small has broadened from do-it-yourselfers to low-income housing advocates to the general public. Now it could be on the verge of nationwide acceptance. On Dec. 6, the International Code Council approved an appendix to the 2018 International Residential Code, which sets minimum requirements for habitable structures. The appendix can be the model U.S. code for tiny houses used as primary residences.
The appendix was drafted by Andrew Morrison, who lives in a 207-square-foot tiny home with his wife and two kids.
It addresses issues surrounding the legality of tiny homes from a building code perspective with the exception of the use of a trailer as a foundation system. The proposal covers loft access, ceiling heights above and below lofts, and emergency egress and escape routes, among other issues.
"The tiny house movement continues to grow and I think it is still developing into something long term," Morrison said in an email. "Whether the population on a large scale will live in 400-square-foot [or less] homes or not is yet to be seen; however, I think one of two options will become reality. No. 1, large swaths of the population will make the move to living tiny. Or, No. 2, the tiny house industry will have a huge impact on overall house square footage across the U.S., bringing it back into scale. Either way, there will be a move to smaller houses as time pushes on."
Plastics Make It Possible
The 170-square-foot "Tiny House That's Big On Energy Efficiency" was part of the Plastics Make It Possible initiative of the American Chemistry Council.
Time to down size?
The average size U.S. house has grown to 2,687 square feet, and 31 percent of newly constructed homes are at least 3,000 square feet, according to 2015 figures from the U.S. Census Bureau. With residential and commercial buildings accounting for about 40 percent of total U.S. energy consumption and 12 percent of the heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions, building size and materials matter.
"That's why I'm involved with tiny houses," said Robert Reed, past president of the American Tiny House Association, which represents the needs and values of the tiny house community.
"I see this ultimately as a sustainability issue. If you have a smaller footprint, the amount of carbon needed to keep your existence can be reduced if you do it well."
Plastic products like insulation, foam board, foam spray — which will be used on future Detroit tiny houses — windows and doors help create a solid building envelope, he added.
"Tiny houses pose a unique problem because as you shrink the house, the ratio of volume to envelope changes," Reed said. "In a tiny house, when you open a door, if you leave that sucker open for even a minute you're going to completely change the air in the house out. That envelope is very important and you have to do everything you can to be efficient and keep in as much air as possible."
The Florida-based American Tiny House Association works with local governments on zoning and building code issues that keep small structures — usually those less than 500 square feet — from being a viable, acceptable housing option. The same rules established to keep people safe can constrain innovation and make tiny living illegal. Issues related to pocket neighborhoods, like the one going up in Detroit, backyard cottages, reworking RV parks and collecting property taxes are finding their way onto public meeting agendas everywhere.
"Some empty nesters want to live in a tiny house in their backyard and lease their other house so they can travel," Reed said, describing the common rally cry as "less stuff, more life."
The cultural change around employment also is contributing to the popularity of tiny houses.
"People don't have traditional jobs," Reed said. "They have gigs, like maybe the nine-month startup of a website or a new product. They want the liberty to take that job opportunity and not be burdened by mortgages. Millennials are deeply affected by the housing bubble burst and seeing their parents unable to make life decisions because they have a mortgage and are upside down."
To Morrison, society simply can't afford to keep building larger and larger houses.
"We can't afford it from an environmental perspective, nor can we simply afford it financially," he said. "Too many people are being pushed out of the housing market as prices continue to skyrocket, even as incomes plateau and remain stagnant."

Getting on board
Building material manufacturers and suppliers are responding to the demand. In March, 84 Lumber, which is based in Eighty Four, Pa., jumped on the tiny house bandwagon with four models all under 200 square feet to build or buy. A cottage style called "Shonsie" features reinforced polymer composite siding, low-e vinyl windows and a front porch of composite decking. Blueprints, a materials list and a trailer start at $6,884 while a "shelled in" semi-DIY package costs $22,884 and a fully outfitted, move-in ready Shonsie goes for $59,884.
"With our national footprint and commitment to the dedicated do-it-yourselfer, we are uniquely positioned to become a part of this new path to homeownership, and are excited to offer tiny living on a national scale," owner President Maggie Hardy Magerko said in a news release.
Last year, Dow Building Solutions was among the sponsors of a young couple that started towing their 130-square-foot living space around North America for a project called Tiny House Expedition. The Midland, Mich.-based company provided its Styrofoam-brand insulation and Froth-Pak spray foam insulation for the walls, noting that when there's not an inch of space to waste, its products have thin profiles and are light weight.
Then, there's the 170-square-foot "Tiny House That's Big on Energy Efficiency" that traveled around to science centers as part of the Plastics Make It Possible initiative of the American Chemistry Council. Built with Zack Giffen, co-host of DIY Network's "Tiny House Nation," the dwelling has polysio-based foam sheathing, polyurethane spray foam, plastic solar shingles, vinyl siding, windows and tile, a polycarbonate skylight, fiberglass door and cross-linked polyethylene pipe.

Dreaming in Detroit
When Cass Community Social Services announced its rent-to-own tiny house program for roughly $1 per square foot per month, Fowler said the agency was swamped with applicants and requests for information about how residents of the $1.5 million development might become homeowners in seven years.
"Everybody on the planet wants to know how we're doing it," Fowler said. "People in Australia, England, Haiti as well as 20 different states have contacted me for information. We're asking them to wait until next summer when we have 13 houses built and occupied. Then we'll know our information will be good."
Only one house, the stucco Tudor on a 30-by-100 square foot lot, has been completed. It will rent for $300 a month. Fowler said that should be a reasonable expense for someone earning at least $750 a month, which was the minimum threshold to apply.
To get the development going, Fowler said the agency received corporate donations, including $400,000 from Ford Motor Co. It is about halfway to its goal and several churches and other Detroit groups are "adopting" tiny houses for $40,000. That's what Fowler estimates the first house cost using professionals. Volunteers will do the finish work like drywall, painting, tiling and deck building on the next 24 houses and the costs should go down.
All the houses will be distinctly different with styles including Cape Cod, Victorian and contemporary. Some will have metal roofs. To date none of the designs use vinyl siding, but Fowler said no building materials have been ruled out.
Inside, the houses have a stove, refrigerator, microwave, washer and dryer, bathroom with shower or tub, table and chairs, and bedroom or a loft. Outside, there's a porch and backyard deck and landscaping. Although there are about 300 vacant lots and many decaying buildings within a mile of the project, there's also a medical clinic, gym and small store within a couple blocks.
The social service agency will act as landlord and pay residents' property taxes until the occupants become the owners. While they are building equity, residents will meet monthly with financial advisers about budgets, debt, credit, savings and investments. If their earnings increase, they can stay.
"That's unique to our project," Fowler said. "Usually you have to stay low income. Here, you end up with an asset, which is of course, how most of us function in life. We live there. We use it for collateral. We sell it if we have a need. We leave it to our kids. It really will be a game changer for them, and we think a great way to include them in the American Dream."
Appendix approval
With approval of the appendix by the ICC, advocates for tiny houses are celebrating and bracing for more work.
"It means that we will be able to work towards adoptions across the U.S. now," said Morrison, the appendix co-writer. "That's another challenge that will take a lot of effort, but we can do it."
The appendix covers issues related to loft access, ceiling heights, emergency egress and escape routes and will be incorporated into the 2018 International Residential Code. It will serve as a guide to building safe and healthy tiny houses that can be issued certificates of occupancy should local jurisdictions adopt it.
Movable tiny houses, which are on trailers, need to addressed next, Morrison said.
"I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I want to harness the energy of excitement and use it to help us build a solid platform moving forward," he said.
Part of the excitement is that appendix was approved after its initial submission. ICC members vote every three years on changes and many suggestions take 3-6 years to implement. More than 162,000 ICC ballots were cast during the voting period but the breakdown isn't known yet.
Morrison told Plastics News he expects the tiny house trend to grow for environmental and financial reasons – reduced energy use and no 30-year mortgages – and this will bode well for manufacturers of plastic building products.
"I imagine that lightweight products from all markets will continue to be valuable for the tiny house industry," Morrison said in an email. "I look forward to seeing what comes of it. I think the biggest room for opportunity comes in lightweight, energy efficient, and environmentally sound products for insulation, envelope, and energy production. We need to marry the tiny house industry with the green building movement to make the biggest impact possible."

Q: Form doesn't work without double click I have a problem with a form function in jQuery. It forces me to double click in order to submit the form.
<script>
function pin_login(forma) {
    jQuery("#form_" + forma).submit(function (e) {

        var value_pin = jQuery(".pin_" + forma).val();
    });
}
</script>

Every time I double click it works, but it doesn't work when I single click, it doesn't submit the form. To clarify, I want it to submit one a single click, not a double.

A: Because you call e.preventDefault() your form should not return after second or third or nth clicking of submit.
If you want to submit you need to return true without calling e.preventDefault() like in the example below.
$("form").submit(function() {
  if ( correct )
     return true;
  else {
     $("#error").text("Not valid!") ;
     return false;
  }
});

Calling e.preventDefault() or returning false will prevent submitting your form to the server.
Now, since e.preventDefault() prevents form submitting and you claim that your form does it, so I claim that your code from the example is never called. Can you copy paste more, please? Or maybe you can use jsfiddle...


Exhibit 1 includes snapshots of the US Treasury yield curve on the last trading day of September for the last three years. Rates across the entire curve have generally moved higher since 2016. However, short-term rates moved at a faster pace than long-term rates leading to a "flattening" of the slope of the yield curve.
Exhibit 2 illustrates growth of a hypothetical $1,000 investment in the S&P 500 Index since June 1976, plotted against the difference between 10-year and 2-year Treasury yields. This difference is referred to as the term spread and is a commonly used measure of yield curve steepness. Also marked on the chart are the onset of the four periods when the yield curve inverted for at least two consecutive months, and short-term rates began to exceed long-term rates.
The inversion prior to the 2008 financial crisis is interesting to review. The US yield curve inverted in February 2006, after which the S&P 500 Index posted a positive 12-month return. The yield curve's slope became positive again in June 2007, well prior to the market's major downturn from October 2007 through February 2009. If an investor had interpreted the inversion as a sign of an imminent market decline, being out of stocks during the inverted period could have resulted in missing out on stock market gains. If the same investor bought additional stock, once the curve's slope became positive, they would also have been exposed to the stock market weakness that followed.
 The data showed a 71% chance (10 of 14) of a three-year positive return following a yield curve inversion. To compare, we measured returns three years following every month-end between January 1985 and December 2014 in each of the five markets based on the local currency MSCI indices. The average chance of a three-year positive return in those five markets was 77%.


My vision for Perspectives Therapy Services has always been to assemble a space and community where healing is not only possible, but likely. With just the right ingredients, positive change will happen. Over the past 15 years I have become more aware of what these key factors are, and now intentionally incorporate them into the PTS model.
Our "community" is something that must be experienced to be truly understood. It is a combination of our physical space, caring providers and a positive energy. Our team intentionally works to maintain a "feeling" of hope, peace, kindness and gratitude through actions and gestures in all 4 of our clinic locations.
You will be greeted with kindness and gentle curiosity. We want to know your story and collaboratively create a path for a better life. From the very first phone call we have with you, we are beginning to learn who you are and how we can assist in your journey, specifically looking to partner you with just the right therapist for your unique circumstances. Moving forward, your relationship with your therapist will be built on trust and respect, inviting the courage it takes to be vulnerable, which ultimately leads to healing and change.
We are eagerly waiting to collaborate with you to improve your mental, emotional and relationship health.


Tuttle SVC: This is the Kind of Thing People Say About "Disruptive Innovations"
This is the Kind of Thing People Say About "Disruptive Innovations"
I am afraid that the Aakash design team did not have anyone thinking about the pedagogy. The main aim has been to deliver a cheap tablet. Maybe that is what is needed, but from research (or innovation) point of view, I do not find it very interesting. Aakash is just a cheap tablet.
Not that "disruptive innovations" are inherently better than "sustaining" ones. People like their new iPhones!

It's been said that there are three kinds of marketers and how they deal with trends: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who wonder what happened! So, for smart marketers who want to fall into that second group, paying attention to what looms ahead is the wisest move they can make.
The Everything Expectation: The ability for brands to measure real, un-articulated, and constantly expanding emotional consumer expectations will provide advantages to engage, delight, and profit.
It's Still The Brand, Stupid: Increased consumer expectations will increase perceptions of products/services as commodities. Brands will need to differentiate and stand for something meaningful, emotional, and important to consumers. Oh, and. .


Coming from the mean streets of Mosside and a life of gang culture, Bugzy Malone has worked his way up to holding a crown over the city of Manchester. Despite his chequered past, he has turned it around and followed his passion for music to become viral success.
Bugzy Malone (real name Aaron Davis) is a born-and-raised Manchester rapper who has been on the music scene since 2010. His rise to fame can be seen through YouTube after performing on the grime channel KODH TV and his notorious rivalry with fellow grime rapper, Chip. Since then, he has risen through the grime scene, appearing on Charlie Sloth's 'Fire in the Booth' on Radio 1Xtra, his session currently the most viewed online with 18 million views.
I have only recently been introduced to Bugzy Malone, but nevertheless I was excited to see him for the first time in concert in my home city. And boy did the King of the North put on a show.
To set the scene: Manchester's Mayfield Depot – don't worry I didn't know it even existed either – turns out to be the best possible setting for a grime concert, especially with Bugzy Malone. The Depot is an abandoned train station near Piccadilly that came alive under the talent of the 0161. As you walked into the room you were met with the sound of the pumping bass and the swirling light fixtures.
Doors opened at 7, but the infamous rapper did not appear until 10pm (probably the only critique I can give the gig). In the meantime, the crowd were pumped with several DJ sets which included compilations of several grime artists, including Bugzy's music along with artists such as Stormzy, Chip, Skepta, J Hus and notably, Big Shaq. After these had played out and most definitely hyped up the crowd, the supporting act for the night, SL, appeared on stage.
For those who don't know, SL (formerly Slimz) is a 17-year-old rapper from South London who has had, for want of a better word, a colourful past. Having moved from Peckham to Croydon at a young age he became involved with crime in his early teens. Knowing this only makes what he has become more admirable and endearing.
After an hour-long set, and another agonising wait, Bugzy appeared at 10 on the dot. He started off strong, opening with 'B.Inspired' – the namesake of the current tour and upcoming album. This was followed by an electric performance of 'Done His Dance', also on the new album.
His hits throughout the night included 'Run', one of my personal favourites which is about finding the courage to find your place. 'Run' is the third single of Bugzy's upcoming album, 'B.Inspired' and the music video is a black and white montage of a young boy running to find a home. The song is made better by the deep vocals of Rag 'n' Bone Man, though unfortunately he was not at the gig. That said, I was pleasantly surprised when Bugzy's second duo of the night, 'Ordinary People', featuring JP Cooper, had Cooper, a fellow Mancuian, appear on stage to perform the song. This duo was spectacular and accompanied by the light show and the pure atmosphere of the crowd only enhanced the performance. Other songs of the night included 'Memory Lane' and 'Warning', alongside a mashup of 'We Don't Play' and 'Bruce Wayne' which was the closing song of the show, ending the night on a high.
The sheer amount of energy Bugzy develops on stage only matches with that of his fans who are made up largely of my demographic of teenagers. As a lot of his music documents his life so far it resonates greatly with his fans and to me, it speaks the minds of today's youth making his music massively relatable. His music appeals to my age group due to the translation of feelings into music a lot of which are usually hard to explain. There is something special about seeing an artist live in concert and the communal spirit of the crowd singing along to live music and Bugzy's concert portrayed this perfectly.

"New Mexico" is just an early version of "Worse Comes to Worst" which appears on 1974's Piano Man. The song has a clear Latino or Mexican influence. The song features some light marimbas (?) and Latin percussion. It has a nice groove and is a funky and refreshing change of pace to the more serious and earnest songs on Piano Man.
In the song, Billy talks about living a carefree lifestyle, well aware that it has its pitfalls ("fun ain't easy if ain't free") But if worse comes to worse, he has an escape, he can play his music and he "knows a woman in New Mexico." (a reference to Billy's wife's younger sister, Josephine, who lived in New Mexico at the time).
