It almost goes without saying that nearly the entire planet is on Facebook. As of 2016, there are 1.65 billion monthly active users. BILLION WITH A 'B.' In Australia alone, there are 15 million of us on Facebook. So how do you tap into this incredible resource and start talking to the right audience for your business?
Facebook advertising is all about picking the right people out of that crowd and putting your ad in front of them – people who are more likely to be interested in your ad enough to click on it and engage with your page, business, brand, whatever you're trying to promote. This guide will take you through the basics of Facebook advertising – how to make an ad, how to implement good targeting and much more – so you can take full advantage of this platform for your business.
So why are you seeing it?
Although this particular ad would probably do well because it's advertising something pretty universally 'cool', only using a generic indicator like age, gender or location isn't always the greatest strategy. This is because they give little insight into what that person's real interests are: the fact that you're a 34-year-old Aussie tells us nothing about your feelings on a Greek holiday.
An example of more specific targeting on this post would be: 'One reason you're seeing this ad is that icelolly.com wants to reach men ages 25 to 35 in Australia who have visited their website or used their app.' Because you're putting your ad in front of eyes who already know you or your brand, that leads to a better chance of that user becoming a customer.
Here are a few ideas for more tailored targeting techniques (say that ten times fast) to get you in front of the right people.
This strategy allows you to get your ad in front of users who've expressed in or liked pages similar to your competitor.
Type in the URL of your competitor site into the 'Detailed Targeting' section of your Audience.
If the URL doesn't return any results, try playing around with other relevant brands or keywords.
Insider tip: Capitalisation DOES make a difference. For example, the keyword 'Online shopping' has an audience of 859,896,820, compared to 'Online Shopping' which only has 3,395.
Putting ads in front of users when they are within your business' neighbourhood is a great way to connect with the local area, and could be a great way to promote an in-store offer or deal.
Insider tip: Facebook is introducing more effective ways to measure the success of a Facebook ad in driving in-store visits and offline sales. This not only has the potential to enhance user experience, it also has the potential for businesses to really see what's working for them in a tangible way. Check out more from this article on AdWeek.
There are a few useful ways you can use email lists to create custom audiences for better results. By uploading your own lists, you can target towards individuals with an existing relationship who will be more likely to engage with your content.
Most people who shop online often don't buy on the first visit. Reaching out to individuals who already familiar with your products are more likely to go through with a purchase the second time around.
LinkedIn has an invaluable audience of like-minded individuals, and it's fairly simple to retarget them on Facebook.
Insider tip: you can even break this list up into different sections (say, by industry) to achieve more selective targeting).
Although these results might have a smaller reach than other campaigns, they're more likely to have a better click-through rate and a lower cost per conversion.
Another great way to target relevant users is through a Website Custom Audience: by adding a Facebook Pixel into your site's coding, you can track page views, when items are added to a shopping cart, when someone signs up to an offer or trial on your site and more (see chart below for specific codes).
Add this pixel to your site with the help of a developer (or a plugin, like FB Pixel Helper for Chrome or Facebook Conversion Pixel for WordPress).
Using the email addresses of people who've previously attended one of your company events – like a webinar, conference, networking session, anything – is a fantastic way to promote to a custom audience.
Insider tip: your existing audience group has to have at least 100 people in order to create a lookalike.
The great thing about Facebooks ads is they're relatively easy to put together. Anyone with a Facebook page, a good internet connection and legit credit or debit card can create, use and benefit from Facebook advertising, especially businesses; it gives you another space to connect with previous or current customers and an effective way to seek out new ones.
To create your own ad, first log in to Facebook for Business.
Let's pretend we're building a lead generation ad for GoToMeeting.
Click through the various categories to see the 'Estimated Daily Reach' of your ad (based on the demographics, interests and behaviours you've selected).
Choose the details we want to collect from potential customers: email addresses, names, postcodes, etc.
Ask up to 3 custom questions like 'Have you used GoToMeeting before?' or 'Have you attended a GoToMeeting webinar?' to gain further insights into your audience to use in future campaigns.
Boosted Post vs. Facebook Ad: What's the Difference?!
'Boosted posts' can be a valuable means of advertising on Facebook, but what does it mean exactly, and how are they different from ads?
A boosted post is Facebook advertising at its most basic.
Facebook ads are more advanced than boosted posts: they let you get more specific with different kind of ads, campaign goals and target audiences. You also have the option of adding a Call to Action button and – unlike a boosted post – Facebook ads aren't housed on your business' page.
So which one's best for you and your advertising needs?
There really is no 'right' answer: it all depends on what you're trying to do! If you just want to get in front of as many eyeballs as possible, try a boosted post. If you want people to do something specific (i.e. like your page, sign up to something, etc.), try a Facebook ad.
Interpreting Your Results: How Well Did You Do?
Once your ad campaign is over, it's time to see how you did! This is especially important to learn what worked and what didn't when creating new ads in the future, as things like messaging, image-to-text ratio and colour scheme could all affect your ad's success.
Select either 'This Account', 'All Campaigns', 'All Ad Sets' and 'All Ads' to see graphical data on Performance, Demographics or Placement.
You should also consider A/B split testing, or running two similar versions of an ad at the same time, to pinpoint potential problems and avoid losing extra money.
When measuring the success of a particular ad, the following can help you contextualise your ad within your campaign, and help you refine your objectives for your future campaigns.
The number of times your post is displayed, regardless of if someone clicked on it or not.
The total engagement (the added number of likes, comments and shares received on a post), divided by the total reach (or impressions, depending on how you want to calculate it out), multiplied by 100.
For a more complete glossary of ad terms, check out Facebook's help section here.
These articles and guides are definitely worth a read.

The Indian Island Lighthouse is located on Indian Island at the entrance to Rockport Harbor. The white and black brick lighthouse stands 25 feet above the water with a red light that flashes every six seconds.
The original light station was established here in 1850, and the lighthouse was built in 1875. The United States Coast Guard now maintains it as an aid to navigation, while the building and grounds are privately owned.
Navigating in and Around the Lighthouse:
Use NOAA Chart 13305.
Indian Island Lighthouse is the main beacon guiding boaters into Rockport Harbor from West Penobscot Bay. Once you have locked onto the light, you will be looking for a red and white bell buoy that marks the entrance to the harbor. Beware of Porterfield Ledge to the south, which is marked by a green and white daybeacon.

Babies chew on subtle social, cultural cues at mealtime
By Susan Kelley
Kinzler
At the dinner table, babies do a lot more than play with their sippy cups, new research suggests.
Babies pay close attention to what food is being eaten around them – and especially who is eating it – according to a study published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study adds evidence to a growing body of research suggesting even very young children think in sophisticated ways about subtle social cues.
The authors found 1-year-olds expect people to like the same foods, unless those people belong to different social or cultural groups, such as those that speak a different language. The study underscores just how tightly our food choices are coupled with our social thinking, said Katherine Kinzler, a co-author of the study and an associate professor of psychology and human development at Cornell.
"Kids are sensitive to cultural groups early in life," said Kinzler. "When babies see someone eat, they are not just learning about food – they are also learning about who eats what with whom. An ability to think about people as being 'same versus different', and perhaps even 'us versus them,' starts very early in life."
Kinzler and her co-authors, Zoe Liberman, Amanda Woodward and Kathleen Sullivan, set up a series of studies in which they showed more than 200 1-year-olds a series of videos of people expressing like or dislike of foods. When the babies saw two people in the video speak the same language or act as if they were friends, the children expected them to like the same foods. When they saw two people who spoke different languages or acted as if they were unfriendly, the babies expected them to like different foods.
The studies took advantage of a well-known fact in developmental psychology: Babies will look longer at novel actions or things that deviate from their general expectations of the world.
The study also showed babies have a slightly different take when it comes to foods that might harm them. When the babies saw a person act disgusted from eating a food, they expected that a second person would also be disgusted by that food – even if the second person was from a different social group. This suggests "infants are particularly vigilant to social information that might signal danger," the study said.
And the researchers discovered an insight into what babies identify as meaningful cultural differences. While monolingual babies expected people who speak different languages to like different foods, bilingual babies expected that people who speak different languages would eat the same foods. They might have had experience with this in their own home, where people speaking different languages are gathered around the table. "Language wasn't marking groups in the same way for these kids," Kinzler said.
The research, "Early emerging system for reasoning about the social nature of food," was published Aug. 23.
The work may have implications for policymakers interested in shifting people's unhealthy eating habits. "If you're thinking about places to intervene in people's eating, framing food selection as a social problem as opposed to a nutritional problem might be a good way to get at it," Kinzler said.
And parents might consider that their children are watching as they eat together. "If you feed your child the perfect diet, yet your child sees you and your friends and family eating junk food, she is presumably learning about foods from her social experiences, too," she said.
The research was supported, in part, by a grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Diverse faculty shift national discourse one op-ed at a time


A New York City pigeon got a wing up from kind complete stranger who switched on a drinking water fountain for the thirsty bird on Thursday.
A now-viral video, initially reported by the Staten Island Advance , reveals New Yorker Steven Pesantez seeing with what appears like pure glee while the bird guzzles water at Staten Island' s ferryboat terminal. His buddy Mariel Mitkowski, who shot the video, can be heard exclaiming " He was waiting on you! " in the background.
Pesantez informed HuffPost that he and Mitkowski were waiting on the ferryboat when they identified the pigeon loitering on top of the water fountain.
" We joked about how he was simply waiting there for somebody to assist him out, then we chose it would be amusing to tape-record me visiting him and assisting! " he stated in an e-mail.
It appears like they had a common sense of what the pigeon desired.
He included that he ' s pleased the video has actually been resonating with individuals.
" I ' m simply stired that the world is getting to share this wholesome minute in a time where there is a lot madness, " he stated.
And while having any animal standing in a human drinking water fountain might not precisely be perfect (pigeon droppings do present " modest health dangers " to individuals, according to the NYC health department )the birds aren ' t almost as unclean as some individuals believe they are. Ornithologist Paul Sweet informed Gizmodo in 2015 that pigeons are " rather tidy, " and really play a crucial function in cities tidying up waste left by people.
As for Pesantez, he ' s absolutely a pigeon appreciator.
" I never ever comprehended why individuals dislike them, " he stated.
Correction: A previous variation of this story improperly specified that Gothamist was the very first news outlet to report on the video .

It was my first time at The Villa in Wrea Green and I was really looking forward to shooting here after visiting with Natalie + Ste earlier in the year. So much character in this hotel with lots of lovely local spots and the day was gloriously SUNNY! After a quick pit stop with the boys I headed over to the hotel and 'bride squad' where the fizz was flowing and a fringe amazed us all! After the ceremony and drinks we headed off to Lytham for some shots along the coast in a cool VW Camper from Little Limos chauffeured by the lovely James who really looked after us! After the speeches we managed to squeeze in some quick family shots, look out for the photo bombing from a wasp! The evening began with a self titled 'Love Train' into the dance floor before Natalie + Ste had their first dance. Such a lovely day, congratulations!

Ash vs Evil Dead 1×01 review: 'El Jefe'
October 31, 2015 by Bitch Stole My Remote
Courtesy of STARZ
Ash (Bruce Campbell) is back and everything is groovy baby!
After 30 years, Bruce Campbell reprises his signature role as Ash with the debut of STARZ's new series, Ash vs Evil Dead. Clearly the cable network is betting big on his return since the series has already been renewed for a second season in advance of its debut. If this first episode is any indication of what to expect, then STARZ has made a smart move. As expected/hoped for, Ash vs Evil Dead is quite simply tons of fun. It's silly, campy, and scary in all of the right doses and Campbell slips back into Ash's juvenile / heroic shoes with ease. It's as though he's been waiting for an opportunity to revisit the character after all of these years.
This first episode is fairly lightweight in terms of plot, primarily interested in catching up with Ash after all of these years, introducing the supporting cast of characters, and explaining how the Deadites have returned. People who observe that not much happens in this extended first episode wouldn't be wrong, though that's not much of a concern when there's so much fun to be had.
Obviously the main source of joy in this premiere is Campbell's Ash. From his introduction with the girdle to the scandalous story he tells about losing his hand rescuing a child from a train in order to get laid to his inept work ethic, it's clear that Ash is the same old lovable loser that we fell in love with in Evil Dead 1 & 2 and Army of Darkness (the show doesn't own the rights to AoD, however, so don't expect to see it referenced much). Campbell knows exactly how to play this character and even his interactions with one-note characters such as when he delivers rubber gloves to gullible old neighbour Vivian so she can clean his RV or when he asks grumpy manager Mr. Roper (Damien Garvey) for his ValuMart paycheck, are filled with enjoyable bits.
As for the new characters, Ray Santiago brings does a good job with Pablo's hero worship of Ash, even if it's not entirely clear why he idolizes his older co-worker so much (perhaps if the character were a little younger it would make more sense). As Valumart trainee and the object of Pablo's affection, Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo) is given a little more to do. Her shift in attitude from meeting Ash to seeing him kick ass is definitely amusing. Still, I hope that the flirtation between Kelly and Ash is either redirected back onto Pablo or played solely for laughs because an entire series of Ash and Pablo both mooning over the same young girl could get a bit old.
The best character – and scene – in the premiere involves the other new character, Amanda (Jill Marie Jones). Her investigation with partner Carson (Mike Edward) into an emergency call at Lucy's (Marissa Stott) house in the woods is the episode's most overt horror sequence and it's here that director (and creator) Sam Raimi's talents shine. From the classic point of view steadicam through the woods to the dutch angles to the spinning flashlight as the light source, Amanda's first encounter with the Deadites is masterfully tense. Half of the fun of the Evil Dead films is that dead characters are immediately co-opted, so we know the moment that Carson is impaled on those antlers that he'll return. In general the level of violence and gore (including three exploding head shots, plus scissors through the hand!) is impressive. On the whole, this scene nicely balances out the comedy from Ash's side of the story since his last act showdown with Vivian in the trailer is played more for laughs than scares.
On the whole, 'El Jefe' does a great job of reintroducing the series and the characters while also laying out the foundation for the rest of the season. It's clear that we'll be touching base with the book dealer Ash called, as well as Kelly's father (who in all likelihood is already dead). Plus Amanda and Lucy Lawless' character Ruby have to play into this in some way. I'll echo Ash's final line of the episode: "Groovy". Let's do this.
The reason for the Deadite return is hilariously dumb (in a good way): Ash and Lucy were getting stoned and he tried to impress her by reading from the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. What. An. Idiot.
The bit with the axe in the final trailer battle is nicely foreshadowed / contrasted by Ash's inefficiency with the dart when he arrives at the bar in the opening scene. Ditto for the flashback sequence when Ash lops off his girlfriend's head in the flashback scenes from Evil Dead, which anticipate a similar move he uses to dispatch kindly elderly neighbour Vivian.
We barely get a glimpse of Ruby outside of her few brief words with Amanda in the dinner. Sad face. Thankfully Lawless is a series regular, so we can look forward to much more from Ruby.
If I have one major complaint about the episode, it's the shoddy CGI in Ash's battle with the doll in the ValuMart store room. This fight should be an amusing, silly scene, but the shitty FX is so distracting that I just couldn't get into it.
Finally, I loved that the gardener at the RV lot is dressed as an homage to Ash's classic costume. I didn't notice until the fight in the trailer, but he's even missing a hand!
Best Lines:
Ash (smacking the bar wench on the butt with his fake hand during sex): "How do you like my wood?"
Ash (hitting on Kelly): "I know, I'm old and grisled. And 10 pounds overweight." Kelly: "10?" Ash: "Okay 30."
Ash (after his first Deadite battle): "The other thing I gotta do is some cardio because my heart is jackhammering like a quarterback on prom night."
Your turn: are you glad to have Ash back? What do you think of the new characters? Which part of the premiere was your favourite? Do you think subsequent directors will be able to match Raimi's directorial style? And what are you hoping for from the remainder of the season? Sound off below.
Ash vs Evil Dead airs Saturdays at 9pm EST on STARZ

What's Happening In The Commercial-Scale Inverter Market?
As a result of state renewable portfolio standard (RPS) policies operating in 2013, $2.2 billion in benefits came from reduced greenhouse-gas emissions and $5.2 billion came from reductions in other air pollution that year, according to a new study.
The report, entitled "A Retrospective Analysis of the Benefits and Impacts of U.S. Renewable Portfolio Standards," was conducted by researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). It evaluates the benefits and other impacts of RPS policies in 2013, the most recent year offering the necessary data for the study.
In addition, the report shows that national water withdrawals and consumption were reduced by 830 billion gallons and 27 billion gallons, respectively, in 2013.
RPS policies require utilities or other electricity providers to meet a minimum portion of their load with eligible forms of renewable electricity. They currently exist in 29 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., and have been a driver for renewable electricity generation in the U.S. over the past decade, the study explains.
However, many states are currently considering whether to extend, eliminate or otherwise revise existing RPS policies.
"This work is intended to inform these ongoing discussions by helping states evaluate RPS programs," explains Berkeley Lab's Ryan Wiser, one of the authors of the report.
The Berkeley Lab and NREL note that the report describes its methods and highlights uncertainties in its findings: For example, benefits from greenhouse-gas reductions were estimated to range from $0.7 billion to $6.3 billion - reflecting differences in underlying estimates of damages caused by climate change.
Similarly, air pollution reduction benefits, which arise primarily from avoided premature mortality, were estimated to range from $2.6 billion to $9.9 billion in 2013 - reflecting differences in underlying epidemiological literature, among other factors, according to the research.
In addition to evaluating environmental benefits, the study also assessed other impacts. Specifically, the research estimates that RPS policies supported 200,000 renewable-energy-related jobs in 2013, saved consumers up to $1.2 billion from reduced wholesale electricity prices and saved another $1.3 billion to $3.7 billion from reduced natural gas prices.
According to the report, consumer savings from reduced electricity and natural gas prices occur because renewable electricity displaces other electricity generation with higher operating costs - much of which is fueled by natural gas. The study is careful to describe these as impacts rather than benefits, as they represent resource transfers from some stakeholders to others, rather than net societal benefits on state, national or global scales, note NREL and the Berkeley Lab.
This work was a follow-up to an earlier study by the two labs that focused on the costs of state RPS programs to date and noted the need for a full understanding of the potential benefits, impacts and costs of RPS programs. To that end, this study provides a point of comparison for estimates of RPS program costs, the labs explain.
Based on the results of this study, benefits from reduced greenhouse-gas emissions equate to 0.7 to 6.4 cents per kWh of renewable energy, while benefits from reduced emissions of criteria air pollutants amount to 2.6 to 10.1 cents per kWh. Consumer savings from wholesale electricity market and natural gas price reductions represent another 0 to 1.2 cents per kWh and 1.3 to 3.7 cents per kWh, respectively.
Although the study takes a national view - evaluating all state RPS programs as a whole - many of the associated benefits and impacts were regional, the labs note.
For example, the economic benefits from air pollution reductions are associated mostly with reduced sulfur-dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants and are concentrated primarily in the Mid-Atlantic, the Great Lakes, the Northeast and Texas. Reductions in water withdrawal and consumption were the largest in California and Texas, respectively - both states that regularly experience droughts - while renewable energy jobs from RPS projects were concentrated mostly in California, where much utility-scale photovoltaic generation was being built in 2013.
"Our goal was to estimate the magnitude of RPS benefits and impacts at a national level, using established methodologies while recognizing that individual states can perform their own, more-detailed assessments," says NREL's Jenny Heeter, another author of the report.
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has re-allocated more than $6 million in unused funds to extend current solar incentives in certain NY-Sun Solar MW Block programs.
Under Gov. Andrew Cuomo's MW Block initiative, residential, small commercial and large commercial solar projects are eligible for incentives that decrease project costs and support the use of clean, sustainable solar power. The total amount of incentives available is based on a pre-established amount of energy designated for a specific region.
Once a block's capacity is fully subscribed, all unused funds are re-allocated to the current block in that region. Hence, funds are made available due to the cancellation of projects in the region or changes in project scope or funding.
The MW Block regions of the state include Upstate Region Residential, Upstate Region Small Non-Residential, Con Edison Residential, Con Edison Small Non-Residential, Long Island Region Residential, Long Island Small Non-Residential, Upstate Commercial/Industrial and Con Edison Commercial/Industrial.
According to NYSERDA, the progress of residential and small commercial MW Blocks is approximately six to seven months ahead of schedule, reflecting the high demand for solar in New York State.
"Under Governor Cuomo's Reforming the Energy Vision strategy, New Yorkers are adding solar at a rate that exceeded 300 percent from 2011 to 2014 - twice the rate of the U.S. overall - and we expect even more growth in the coming years," says Richard Kauffman, chairman of energy and finance for New York.
"The re-allocation of funds will ensure an appropriate level of support is available to residential and small commercial projects in regions where funds were allocated, but not used," says John B. Rhodes, NYSERDA president and CEO.
NY-Sun previously announced the addition of 18 MW for Long Island Residential (Block 4).
Long Island Non-Residential is not included in the current re-allocation.
NY-Sun staff will continue to monitor the MW Block regions for unused capacity.

Q: Select query with join condition error I have a select query to get a result set and my query is as follows:
 SELECT T0."REFID", T0."REFID_NR", T0."ID_POS",
 CASE
    WHEN T4."REFID" IS NOT NULL
    THEN T4."REFID"
 END AS "result"
FROM "SYSTEM"."T00_SOFT" T0
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(
SELECT T1."REFID", T1."REFID_NR", T1."ID_POS",T1."ARTIKEL" ,T2."VEHW", T2."VNHW" ,
(((T2."VEHW"*100)/(T2."VNHW"))*((T1."ER_AW"*100)))/(T1."BAS_AW") AS "claims"
FROM "SYSTEM"."T00_SOFT" T1
INNER JOIN "SYSTEM"."T00_EG" T2
ON T1."REFID" = T2."REFID"
AND T1."ORGID_WE" = T2."ORGID"
AND T1."ARTIKEL" = T2."MATNR" ) T4;

When I execute the query I get the following error:
Could not execute 'SELECT T0."REFID", T0."REFID_NR", T0."ID_POS", CASE WHEN T4."REFID" IS NOT NULL THEN ...' in 42 ms 382 µs .
SAP DBTech JDBC: [257] (at 521): sql syntax error: line 15 col 33 (at pos 521)

Here line 15 refers to the last line and indicates that the error exists at T4. I dont find anything missing. If anyone can suggest what would be gthe problem?
Thanks

A: You are missing the ON criteria in your join between T0 and T4. I would rework your query as:
SELECT T0."REFID", T0."REFID_NR", T0."ID_POS",
 CASE
    WHEN T4."REFID" IS NOT NULL
    THEN T4."REFID"
 END AS "result"
FROM "SYSTEM"."T00_SOFT" T0
LEFT OUTER JOIN
    (
    SELECT T1."REFID", T1."REFID_NR", T1."ID_POS",T1."ARTIKEL" ,T2."VEHW", T2."VNHW" ,
    (((T2."VEHW"*100)/(T2."VNHW"))*((T1."ER_AW"*100)))/(T1."BAS_AW") AS "claims"
    FROM "SYSTEM"."T00_SOFT" T1
        INNER JOIN "SYSTEM"."T00_EG" T2
            ON T1."REFID" = T2."REFID"
                AND T1."ORGID_WE" = T2."ORGID"
                AND T1."ARTIKEL" = T2."MATNR" ) T4
    ON T0."REFID" = T4."REFID"

You had joined T0 and T4 without describing how they were related. Remember, just because you defined how TOO_SOFT and TOO_EG are related in your subquery in the From clause does not imply how T0 and T4 are related. According to a reference manual I found here, join criteria are always required with Left and Right Outer Joins.
Also, I would hesitate to use a Case statement without an Else statement because if the case is not true then it will return NULL. If that's what you want, great, but I suspect you would benefit from programming in an alternative rather than leaving the Else statement out altogether.

A:  SELECT T0."REFID", T0."REFID_NR", T0."ID_POS",
 CASE
    WHEN T4."REFID" IS NOT NULL
    THEN T4."REFID"       ---<-- T4 is a Table Alias you need to mention
 END AS "result"               -- the column name as well like T4.ColumnName

if you are only checking against possible nulls in your column your can use ISNULL function and provide a substitute value if returned value is null.
something like this....
 SELECT T0."REFID"
       , T0."REFID_NR"
       , T0."ID_POS"
       , IFNULL(T4."REFID",'Sub_Value') AS "Result"

«Rich Minion» () — песня американского рэпера Yeat, выпущенная в качестве сингла 28 июня 2022 года лейблами Back Lot Music, , Listen To The Kids, Geffen Records и Interscope Records. Песня звучит в трейлере мультфильма 2022 года «Миньоны: Грювитация», созданном компанией Lyrical Lemonade, но была выпущена как отдельный сингл и не была включена в альбом саундтреков. В сопровождении кадров из фильма Yeat в комедийном тоне поёт о том, что происходит в фильме. В припеве он упоминает, какую сумму денег он получил для написания и записи песни для фильма: «I made a song for the Minions / How much they pay me? A million» (). Рэпер также вставил в песню повторяющуюся фразу миньонов из фильма: «Ha (Huh?), hey Mel, la bastichi/ La papaya, du la potato (Yeah, la potato, oh, yeah)».

История создания

Тренд и влияние

Песня стала символом всемирного тренда под названием «Gentleminions» (), согласно которому группы молодых людей отправляются на просмотр фильма в деловых костюмах. По словам владельцев некоторых кинотеатров, им приходится отказывать в посещении сеансов людям в деловых костюмах в связи с тем, что некоторые последователи тренда мусорили в кинотеатрах.

A churchyard full of howling werewolves is the setting for Tales of Darkness: Full Moon. Created by Novomatic, it's a typically simple but volatile 5 reel, 40 payline video slot. The main bonus round offers up to 20 free spins complete with a second wild symbol. Play on the PC, tablet or mobile from between 40p and £100 per spin.
The design here isn't quite as good as some of Novomatic's recent releases but it's still a step up from some of the very tired looking video slots in the developer's back catalogue. With a cemetery shrouded in mist in the background, you'll see lower vale Gothic style A to 10 symbols dominating the reels. They're joined by a black cat, a wise old owl and a werewolf.
The dandy werewolf hunter is the most lucrative standard symbol, offering awards of up to 25 times your bet per payline. Appearing on the middle 3 reels only is the wolf's eyes symbol which is the wild. It replaces everything bar the full moon scatter.
If you're lucky enough to find 3, 4 or 5 scatters on the same spin, you'll receive a payout of 2, 6 or 20 times your total bet. You can also look forward to 10, 15 or 20 free spins in the Free Games feature. Joining the action during the feature is a second wild symbol. This can also hit on reels 2, 3 and 4 only.
If you land 3 or 4 scatters on the triggering spin, you'll get a respin with the scatters locked in position – this is known as the Full Moon Bonus feature. This gives you a shot at landing a higher number of free spins.
It's a case of if it ain't broke, don't fix it with Tales of Darkness: Full Moon which sticks to Novomatic's tried and trusted formula. It's no thing of beauty but the design is solid enough. The straightforward gameplay isn't very flashy either but it still packs a pretty hefty punch. The variance here is in the medium to high range with maximum wins of 1,000 times your bet on every spin/free spin.
If you're a Novomatic fan, Tales of Darkness: Full Moon ticks all the right boxes. For simple, volatile gameplay with a horror theme, you won't go too far wrong here. I also recommend you play Yggdrasil Gaming's Wolf Hunters which has a similar theme but it more volatile and can be more rewarding.

Saoutchik-Embellished Lancia Aurelia Cabriolet Conjures Dreams Of Italian Summertime All The Way In England
Take a pallet of bright, vibrant colors, mix them together, and you'll be left with a muddy brown mess, a figurative shadow of the once-bright tones. This example can be played out across many mediums, with similar results—too many cooks spoiling the broth and so forth.
There are exceptions though, and these exceptions are often exceptional in other ways. Take the Lancia Aurelia B50 for instance, a car that already began its life with beautiful coachwork from Pinin Farina, not to mention that the car was built under the guidance of legendary engineer Vittorio Jano, the tragic Italian who gave the world the Alfa Romeo P3 among many other triumphs.
Already a stunning piece of draftsmanship—Pinin Farina's Cabriolet was endorsed by the factory, and was sold as such through Lancia's official dealers—one might be forgiven for thinking that any changes to the coachwork would be like taking a sledgehammer to a sculpture. However, thanks to the work of a design house in Paris, one with Russian roots, there's proof that it can be pulled off.
Iakov Savtchuk, who would later become Jacques Saoutchik upon leaving the Russian Empire for France at the turn of the 19th century, became one of Paris's leading coachbuilders after learning his trade making furniture. During a time when his company's client list included members of royal families, the Lancia arrived at Saoutchik's doors with a commission for some modifications at the behest of a United States resident from Virginia, who had become this particular Aurelia's second owner.
Saoutchik's fondness for chrome accents can be seen throughout the machine, from the treatment of the rear flanks and the interior of the car, to more subtle accents such as the perforated silencer covers that sit beneath the cabriolets bodywork. Though some of Saoutchik's designs are guilty of overdoing the brightwork, the additions here fit the era and attitude of this car.
Regardless of the modifications that came in Paris, this particular example carried its own provenance besides the Saoutchik touches, seeing as it was the car that graced the stand at the 1951 Geneva Motor Show.
The Pinin Farina-bodied chassis number around 265, but in other guises the Aurelia design sold in excellent numbers, with over 18,000 produced over the six series. The original Aurelia was also among the first cars to make use of a series production V6 engine, and I'm happy to confirm that the 1.8L lump in this one sounds as sweet as its host looks, beating out a gentle thrum in a familiar firing—not a super hot motor by modern standards, but the alloy V6 was a pretty sweet piece of kit for the time, and something to admire still today.
Sadly, we were unable to take the Lancia for a test run due to the weather and what was poured onto the road to combat it, and instead had to suffer its beauty from a static point of view. Thankfully it is a car that rewards a lingering gaze, and though I'm sure it would be a treat to drive, it withholds many of its beautiful details until you take some time to study it. Details such as the aforementioned Saoutchik embellishments, the magical door handles that pop from their recesses, at the gentle push of a button, as well as the wonderfully ornate Marchal fog lamps. Indeed, even the underside of the car is pleasing to the eye, from the finned sump to the twin exhaust pipes that poke teasingly from the car's rump.
It would seem my admiration for this Lancia is shared by many others, as after it had undergone extensive restoration work, this car took a third-in-class prize at Pebble Beach in 2005. Of course, concours medals, stats and facts are all well and good if that's what you are into. For me it was simply a delight to spend time with, exploring its nuances with my camera.

The drama will tackle the pharmaceutical industry
Making a Murderer directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos are embarking on a new dramatic television series, focusing on the pharmaceutical industry.
Titled America's Most Admired Lawbreaker, the series is to be adapted with Nicki Paluga (Perception) from a series of Huffington Post articles.
According to Digital Spy, George Clooney will be producing the series that is based around the true story of a pharmaceutical company marketing a 'wonder drug' to children and the elderly – while hiding the truth about its side effects.
Making a Murderer was the accumulation of 10 years' work for the duo, making America's Most Admired Lawbreaker their first new project since the acclaimed series.
Making a Murderer focused on the murder trial and conviction of two men in Manitowoc, Wisconsin: Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey. Both men are currently serving life sentences, having been convicted in 2007, with Making A Murderer paying particular attention to perceived injustices in the case.
The directors appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on January 12. When they were asked about what projects they would like to pursue next. Ricciardi replied: "I would love to follow Florence And The Machine, but I haven't reached out to her yet".

Originally published in 1980, this book is an oldie but a goodie; I actually still have the copy my parents used with me and I'll use it for my child. Join Joshua and Prudence (Frankel did versions for both boys and girls) as they learn how to use the potty like a big kid!
I can't attest to the veracity of her claims, but she posits that children are ready to potty train much earlier than most people think, and that they can actually get the basics down in just a few days. Her six step process is said to train kids in a snap, so it's definitely worth a read.
Brucks credits a long history of nannying to having potty trained over a hundred children, and she intends to show you how to do just that, and do it in record time, nonetheless!
This best-selling board book (thick, cardboard pages for an easy grip for little toddler hands) follows the inner monologue of a child as he tries to figure out this whole "potty" thing!
This humorous, interactive story shows toddlers that everyone, even busy people with important jobs, have to stop what they're doing sometimes to visit the potty.
Bucknam's credentials as a pediatrician lend a level of authority to this manual, which focuses more on paying attention to developmental cues rather than forcing training on a child at a set age. The process may be slower, but Bucknam and Ezzo assert that it'll be a lot less stressful.
This children's book treats a very real setback during the potty training process: children who are afraid to poop and withhold it, which can become a painful and serious issue. Vessillo's book helps children understand that there's nothing to be afraid of.
Whether it takes you three days or three months, hopefully these books will help you make the potty training process a little less painful!

DETROIT BOOK LAUNCH & CELEBRATION
Shrine of the Black Madonna Bookstore and Cultural Center
Oronde had the distinct honor of returning home to Detroit, Michigan for the official launch of Facing The Rising Sun. This very successful and emotionally moving reading and celebration was held on Saturday, December 11, 2010 at the Shrine of the Black Madonna Bookstore and Cultural Center in the heart of Detroit.
Joining Oronde for this event were his brother, parents and other family members, as well as the founding Executive Director and several current staff members of Homes for Black Children, the adoption agency through which Oronde and his brother, Khari Miller, were placed for adoption. Also in attendance were former colleagues from Casey Family Programs, who traveled from various parts of the country to be there for this exciting occasion, and a number of classmates from grade school, middle school and high school. The occasion was a reunion, in many ways, of the various individuals that have been very much responsible for shaping Oronde's understanding of child development, family and community.

There's no question that this has been a big year for government hacking. Not a day has gone by without some mention of it in the news. 2016 may forever be remembered as the year when government hacking went so mainstream that Stephen Colbert cracked jokes about Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear on The Late Show. The Obama administration has publicly blamed the Russian government for a series of compromises of U.S. political institutions and individuals in this election year, including the Democratic National Committee, the Republican National Committee, and John Podesta, former Chairman of the Hillary Clinton election campaign. Political espionage is nothing new, but what distinguishes this series of attacks is the element of publication. This election cycle was dominated by news stories stemming from DNC and Podesta emails leaked to and published by Wikileaks, which has repeatedly said that it will not comment on sources but denies that the source of the documents is Russian.
Whether or not Kremlin-directed hacking tipped the scales in this year's presidential election towards Donald Trump is unclear, but paranoia about Russian hacking has successfully sown confusion all over the world. The Obama administration has ordered a full review of foreign-based digital attacks aimed at disrupting the election and European governments are reportedly bracing for Russian interference in next year's elections in France, Germany, and the Netherlands.
But Russia did not corner the market on developments in government hacking this year. In February, a U.S. federal magistrate judge ordered Apple to break the security of an iPhone as part of the investigation into the 2015 San Bernardino shootings. Apple fought the order on the grounds that complying would compromise the security of all iPhone users. Technology companies and civil society spoke out stridently against this dangerous precedent and eventually the FBI withdrew its request after they found another way to access the contents of the iPhone.
Not all efforts to expand government hacking powers were met with the same success as the showdown between Apple and the FBI. 2016 also saw dangerous changes to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure that will allow the FBI to request a warrant from practically any magistrate judge in any district in the United States whenever they are investigating a crime and encounter computers using location-obscuring technology. Not to be outdone, the U.K. passed the sweeping Investigatory Powers Bill, which grants the government the power to compel companies to secretly backdoor their encrypted communications.
In the meantime, certain types of Chinese government hacking appear to be on the decline, probably as a result of the 2015 agreement between the United States and China that neither government would "conduct or knowingly support cyber-enabled theft of intellectual property" for an economic advantage. Activist groups, such as Tibetan and Uyghur minorities in China, appear to remain fair game.

Marijuana DWI in New Jersey
When most people hear the term "DWI," the first thing that comes to mind is alcohol. But with the current drug epidemic in New Jersey, driving under the influence of drugs has become more common. Marijuana is a huge culprit in DWI cases. The substance accounts for many, if not most drugged DWIs in the state. Although New Jersey DWI law doesn't address marijuana specifically, there are a few things you should know if the drug is a factor in your case.
Marijuana Legal Limit
Law enforcement runs into a number of issues when it comes to arresting people for marijuana DWIs. First and foremost, officers have no way to test sobriety while on site. Most officers confirm the suspicion of alcohol via breathalyzer test on site. This test is a device that motorists blow in for an officer to measure their sobriety. If the results indicate that their BAC is over the legal limit of 0.08%, then an officer can arrest you and use this result as evidence that is admissible in court.
But police don't have a method of determining marijuana in such an expedient fashion. Researchers have yet to find a way to come up with a way to measure drug intoxication. And in the case of marijuana, experts haven't figured out how much is too much. So, police officers depend on other indicators of drug marijuana intoxication, like bloodshot red eyes and the drug's distinct smell to establish probable cause and make an arrest.
It's also important to note that there are a number of conditions that can be mistaken for drug intoxication. And marijuana especially can stay in a person's body for days after the effects have worn off, which can make testing for this drug in particular obsolete. Testing positive for marijuana consumption at a station wouldn't necessarily mean that you were impaired with this substance while you were driving. It means that marijuana was consumed sometime in the past few days. Most officers depend on other impairment signs at the scene of the crime to pinpoint that suspects were, in fact, high while driving.
Marijuana DWI Penalties
If you get convicted of a marijuana DWI, the penalties may vary depending on the nature of your case and your criminal history. But according to general guidelines, a person faces the following legal repercussions:
First Offense Marijuana DWI
A jail sentence of up to 30 days
A fine ranging from $300 to $500
The suspension of your license for up to a year
Second Offense Marijuana DWI
A jail sentence up to 90 days
A fine ranging from $500 to $1,000
The suspension of your license for up to 2 years
30 days of community service
Third of Subsequent Offense Marijuana DWI
A six-month jail sentence
A fine of $1,000
The suspension of your license for up to 10 years
In a marijuana DWI case, your fate is in the judge's hands. They have the discretion to cut you a break or carry out the full extent of the law. Their decision will be based on the arrest, your criminal history, your BAC, the officer's testimony, and other relevant factors. These penalty guidelines suggested for guidance, it doesn't mean that your outcome will be as such.
In New Jersey, a person who has been suspected of driving while under the influence of alcohol has implicitly consented to provide a breath, blood, or urine test as a stipulation of getting their license. However, this law doesn't apply to individuals who have been suspected of driving under the influence of marijuana or other controlled substances. People in this predicament have to option to turn down chemical testing to screen for the presence of drugs in their system without legal ramifications.
New Jersey Criminal Defense Attorney
Driving while impaired by marijuana is a serious crime that leads to harsh repercussions in New Jersey. But if it's proven that your arrest was unlawful or an officer's actions strayed from protocol, there's a good chance your charges could be dismissed.
With so much on the line, the best thing you can do is contact a seasoned criminal defense attorney. The sooner a legal representative can get on your case, the more time they have to build a solid defense. In New Jersey, a DWI is an offense that requires skilled and aggressive representation.
Attorney Joseph D. Lento has the experience and credentials to defend and counsel people who've acquired DWI charges. He will explain your pending charges, build a solid defense and work towards getting your charges reduced or dropped. For more information about Mr. Lento's representation, contact the Lento Law Firm either online or by phone at 888-535-3686.

Q&A with Vincent Mooser, Canada Excellence Research Chair in Genomic Medicine
April 17, 2019 — Uncategorized
Dr. Vincent Mooser will join McGill this summer as the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Genomic MedicineOwen Egan
Earlier this morning, the Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Sport announced a new Canada Excellence Research Chair in Genomic Medicine: Genes to Drug Targets for Next-Generation Therapies.
Dr. Vincent Mooser, who will be joining McGill this summer as the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Genomic Medicine, is a pioneer in using genomics-based tools and datasets to develop new target-based therapies to improve human health. Dr. Mooser is one of the few clinician-scientists with over 25 years of experience at the nexus of three domains: academia, the clinic and industry. This unique combination should fundamentally advance Canada's ability to lead research in translating genomic-based discoveries into new therapeutic options for the treatment of patients afflicted by a number of common diseases.
As part of this program, the University will receive up to $10 million in federal funding over seven years to support research by Dr. Mooser and his team. An additional $15 million from other sources, including McGill University (approximately $10.5 million), Mitacs Inc, and CQDM (Biopharmaceutical Research Consortium), will be added to match the CERC funding.
Before becoming his CERC appointment, Dr. Mooser held various academic positions at Lausanne University, Switzerland, including Head of the Laboratory Department and the Clinical Chemistry Service at le Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV) and Vice-Dean of Clinical Research at the Lausanne University Faculty of Biology and Medicine. He spent a distinguished decade within GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) R&D in Philadelphia and co-founded the CoLaus study – a population-based study to investigate the epidemiology and genetic determinants of cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome.
In this interview with the McGill Reporter, Dr. Mooser discusses the incredible potential of genomic research; its challenges and risks; and the vital partnership between academia and industry needed to develop and deliver new drugs to the market. He also discusses his ambitious vision for the new Canada Excellence Research Chair in Genomic Medicine, and what he hopes to build at McGill.
What exactly is gene sequencing?
In simple terms, the genome is the material we get from our parents which makes us unique.
Essentially, the genome is a very large book – although it is substantially bigger than a book. It is the equivalent 1,000 Bibles.
But instead of 26 letters there are four letters – A, C, T and G. Genome sequencing means reading the entire book of three billion base pairs in order to make a complete sequence of these ACTGs.
These ACTGs determine who we are, in part. They determine, partly, our health, our susceptibility to diseases and the way in which we respond to drugs.
How is gene sequencing changed our approach to medicine?
Understanding our susceptibilities helps us better predict, diagnose and prevent diseases; and it allows us to detect diseases earlier so that we can cure them before they are in advanced stages.
All this information also allows us develop new drugs.
These promises – prediction, prevention, and production of new therapies – have already been delivered since the first human genome was sequenced in 2001. But there is potential for so much more.
What promise does personalized medicine hold?
Personalized/precision medicine is a very vague term and entails the capacity to adapt patient care according to his or her individual characteristics.
Genomic medicine is a subset of precision medicine whereby we use the genetic makeup of individuals to tailor the healthcare specifically for them.
Can you give us some examples?
We use information from a person's genome to better predict diseases. An example of that would be BRCA1 sequencing. If the sequence of a gene called BRCA1 is mutated, it can predispose women to develop breast cancer. This is a genomic application: prediction.
Then there's prevention. We all know the story of Angelina Jolie, who took preventive measures because a genome analysis predicted she had a high risk of developing breast cancer.
The third application is tailored therapy – pharmacogenetics, for example. Pharmacogenetics is the use of genetic information to reduce the risk of adverse side effects when a person is exposed to a new drug.
An example of this is abacavir. Abacavir is an HIV drug which, in three per cent of the people, leads to a bad reaction called hypersensitivity reaction. We now can avoid this by doing a simple test to identify the people who carry this anomaly before they are exposed to this drug.
What are some success stories for genomics?
Genomics science has really made a big contribution so far in two areas. The first is in oncology.
Now the very diagnosis of cancer relies not only on histology, making microscopic analysis of the tissue, but also on the DNA changes of the tumour. As well, the second line therapy treatment for some cancers is now based on the genetic makeup of the tumour.
Another area where genomic sciences have made a big impact is in rare diseases.
Until recently patients with a rare disease faced all kinds of uncertainty. Sometimes it would take years for doctors to put a name on a particular disease, because the molecular basis of the disease was not known. They knew that something was wrong but had difficulties in proper diagnosis.
Now, when a doctor has a patient in which they suspect something is wrong, they can immediately sequence the genome and find the molecular cause – the molecular proof – of the disease and make the right diagnosis. It's a real revolution in patient care.
What's next for genomic medicine?
The next challenge for genomic medicine is common chronic conditions, noncommunicable diseases.
In developed countries these noncommunicable diseases – such as arthritis, depression, COPD, asthma – eat up to 80 per cent of healthcare resources.
We know that, generally, half of these diseases is caused by the environment and the other half by the genome. But it isn't a single gene that is responsible for these diseases, it's a series of many genes which together predispose people to develop these diseases in a particular environment.
The challenge now is to use genomic medicine to address – and help alleviate – some of these common chronic conditions.
Why did you choose McGill?
In all honesty, it was a very difficult decision. I'm happy in Switzerland and I've been successful in Switzerland.
At the same time, this really is a rare opportunity. I think the environment at McGill, with the affiliated hospitals, is optimally positioned for this effort. It has the people. It has the patient population. It has the laboratories. It has the IT infrastructure. It has the clinical research centre. It has the institutional willingness to succeed.
Everything is here, it's just a question of catalyzing the synergies. I think I have the capacity and experience to make that happen.
My dream is that, by the end of seven years, we have built a platform here in Canada – at McGill in particular – whereby industry, Pharma, biotech and academia will be working together seamlessly.
I should also mention, however, that none of this would have happened if not for my wife. She was the one who encouraged me to apply. She said to me 'I will follow you to Montreal if you get this job.' [Laughing] She's the one who made this happen.
How important is the partnership between academia and industry?
It is absolutely vital.
The outcome of our efforts will take two shapes: diagnostics and therapies.
Diagnostics are usually discovered by academics but developed and marketed by industry because it is very hard, very expensive and very risky to put a diagnostic marker into the market. Only industry can do this.
It is the same thing for drugs. Lots of drugs are identified in small labs and biotechs. The full development, which usually costs between one and $2 billion, is a very risky endeavour. Academia does not have the shoulders to carry this risk, so, the risk must be shared.
So, potentially we are speeding up drug discovery in a significant way?
Absolutely. The CERC is for seven years. We have a very specific objective – how can we use genomic sciences and the capabilities of McGill and associated institutions, to support the process of discovering and developing new drugs.
I think with this CERC we have the potential to have an impact on the way drugs are developed. I am confident it has the potential to improve probability of success; and to make this process faster and potentially cheaper. Most importantly, at the end of the day, patients will have better, more timely, access to new therapies.
You've been doing this for 25 years. What keeps you motivated?
We are at the dawn of something really big in medicine and I want to be a part of it.
[Laughing] It would be horrible to retire and miss out. I want to make my small contribution to the greater effort and make things happen.
How do you see the role of the mentor?
All my life I've been very lucky. I've worked on four different continents and I've had wonderful people train me, challenge me, grow me and guide me.
I've also been lucky to be in the position to help others develop. At this point in my life, everything we build and any success we may enjoy is really for the institution and the next generation. The future is the next generation.
The fact that my vision has been validated by the CERC people tells me that we are on the right course. Now we have to find the right talent – people who really have the appetite for building something big and important that will continue after we're gone.
What are your impressions of Montreal and McGill?
One thing that has really impressed me is the collaborative spirit, which is absolutely essential. The challenges we are facing are so big that there is no way a single lab can address them. We need to collaborate, to combine our resources, forces and knowledge in order to reach our common goal. I see that spirit here in the City and at the University. It's very exciting.

Get ready for ratpocalypse 2019

Rat season is upon us once more.
An INSIDER analysis of 311 data from New York City and Chicago found that rat complaints peak in July and August.
Reported rat sightings in New York City rose by 80% this decade.
Trash is a primary culprit, but rats are also spawning more offspring each year thanks to warmer winters.
Visit INSIDER's homepage for more stories.
Spend some time in New York City, and you're bound to glimpse a rat — or a bunch of them — scurrying about the subway tracks, rummaging around in a heap of curb-trash, or nervously attempting to abscond with a slice of pizza. Now that July is upon us, sightings are about to escalate once again.
An INSIDER analysis of a decade of 311 (the city's complaint line) data from New York City and Chicago found that July and August are the peak months for city residents to complain about rats each year. It's a time when rat pups are weaning from their mothers and taking to the streets — and when humans are spending more time outside, tossing more food waste and inadvertently supplying an all-you-can-eat buffet for rodents.
In New York City, rat sightings reported to 311 have nearly doubled over the course of five years, rising by 80% between 2012 and 2017, when service requests topped out at nearly 20,000. "Essentially, the rat has no struggle whatsoever finding food in every direction — in bags, litter, in the gutter, in park baskets," said Bobby Corrigan, a rodent scientist who consults for New York City's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
Yutong Yuan/Business Insider
Read more: New York City is getting even more infested with rats. Here's why cities can't get rid of them.
Estimating rat populations is notoriously tricky— and 311 data is only one piece of the puzzle — but Corrigan has surveyed city commissioners and pest control specialists from Boston to Seattle, and he believes they're on the rise everywhere. For both New York City and Chicago, INSIDER found that rat-related service requests peaked in July 2017.
Corrigan spent three years as a pest exterminator while saving up for college in the late '70s, before rats ruled the city. "It's nothing like it is now," he said. "In the past 50 years, the rats have just exploded in New York City, and they continue to increase."
Corrigan told INSIDER that he believes the city is responding well, citing $32 million plan New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced in 2017 to combat the impending ratpocalypse.
The plan, which was designed to decrease rat activity by 70%, emphasized better trash management and enforcement for rat violations. The number of rat complaints ebbed slightly in 2018 — but only by 9% compared to the previous year, INSIDER found.
Access to garbage isn't the only problem either. It's also that rats are also spawning more offspring. Rats don't typically reproduce in the winter when their litters are vulnerable to freezing temperatures — but milder temperatures have changed the way that they breed.
Corrigan and other rodentologists believe that one more litter is being produced each year due to repeating warmer winters. "One more litter per female is ten pups. You have logarithmic growth on top of what was already fast growth," he said.
"Globally, this planet is warming up, and species like rats are saying 'thank you.'"
Why cities can't get rid of rats

Diogenes of Sinope (4th Century BCE)
DIOGENES OF SINOPE
(4th Century BCE)
Diogenes of Sinope, who lived in the fourth century BCE, was the prototype of the Cynics, who probably were so called from Diogenes' Greek nickname, the Dog (kuon ; adjective form, kunikos ). Tradition held that on coming to Athens in exile, he was influenced by Antisthenes' teaching; Diogenes' ascetic distortion of Socratic temperance gives some point to Plato's supposed remark that he was a "Socrates gone mad."
It is not easy to recover the philosopher from, on the one hand, the lurid fog of anecdotal tradition that represents the stunts of an eccentric tramp at Athens and Corinth defacing conventional human standards—as he or his father, Hicesias, was supposed to have defaced in some way the currency of Sinope—or, on the other, the idealized legend that grew after his death. But doxographic traces (for example, Diogenes Laërtius, VI.70–73) and, indeed, the tradition as a whole presuppose a serious teacher who, in disillusioned protest against a corrupt society and hostile world, advocated happiness as self-realization and self-mastery in an inner spiritual freedom from all wants except the bare natural minimum; and who, in a bitter crusade against the corrupting influence of pleasure, desire, and luxury, extolled the drastic painful effort involved in the mental and physical training for the achievement of a natural and inviolable self-sufficiency.
The anecdotes illustrate Diogenes' philosophy in action. Since for Diogenes virtue was revealed in practice and not in theoretical analysis or argument, the stories of, for example, his embracing statues in winter and his peering with a lantern in daytime for a human being, the tales of his fearless biting repartee and criticism of notables such as Alexander, however embroidered or apocryphal, correctly reflect his pointed teaching methods, which encouraged the development of a new didactic form, the chreia, or moral epigram. Some exaggeration here is due to the "dog-cynic" shamelessness pedagogically employed to discount convention, and some is no doubt inherent in the uncompromising extremes of Diogenes' doctrines.
He is credited with tragedies illustrating the human predicament and with a Republic, which influenced Zeno the Stoic, that was notorious for its scandalous attack on convention. His famous remark that he was a citizen of the world is more probably antinational than international, for he was concerned with the individual rather than the community. Diogenes sought to make any man king, not of others, but of himself, through autonomy of will, and his own life was his main philosophical demonstration to this end.

The Wheel of Time Launches As a Massive Hit for Amazon Prime
The launch of The Wheel of Time for Amazon's Prime Video has quickly become a hit for the streaming service. Starring Rosamund Pike, The Wheel of Time is a live-action adaptation of Robert Jordan's fantasy novels that premiered last week with its first three episodes. Amazon successfully built buzz around the project, leading to anticipation for its release and helping to drive more viewers to Prime Video. Even though it hasn't released specific numbers, Amazon touts The Wheel of Time as its most-watched original series for 2020.
"We can firmly say that Wheel of Time was the most watched series premiere of the year and one of the Top 5 series launches of all time for Prime Video," Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke told Deadline. Salke admitted that Amazon is working to "try to figure out how transparent we are going to be in the future" in regards to making ratings publicly viewable. She added "there were tens and tens of millions of streams" for The Wheel of Time debut in its first three days. The top countries to stream the series were the United States, India, Brazil, Canada, France, and Germany.
Streaming ratings can be a tricky beast, since you have to account for subscribers starting a series or episode and not completing it. However, that wasn't the case for The Wheel of Time as it has some of Amazon's highest completion rates. According to Parrot Analytics, the global pre-release demand for The Wheel of Time was ahead of other fantasy series such as Netflix's The Witcher. It's already looking to have the biggest opening for Amazon behind The Boys Season 2.
Amazon will look to build upon The Wheel of Time's success with other future fantasy series, including adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and the Mass Effect video game franchise from Electronic Arts, with the former already renewed for Season 2 before it's even premiered. "You will see us continuing to invest in fantasy genre of all kinds, we have a genre-focused team on the ground in Studios who work tirelessly with our creative partners on those slates, and you can look forward to more," Salke said.
"As we looked at the challenges that Covid presented with our slate, it was really important that we were creating big cultural moments globally around content," the Amazon Studios head said about navigating producing content during a pandemic. "We went out at the end of 2020 with Borat, and through 2021 increasing that momentum with our slate of originals. I'm so happy that we could get a slate of material underway with Coming to America, Without Remorse, Sylvie's Love, One Night In Miami, Them: Covenant and Underground Railroad which we were able to schedule strategically within Covid to drive a new audience to Prime Video. We made significant improvements in making Black customers all over the world feel like Prime Video was a home for them which I'm exceptionally proud of."

Business preparedness over Brexit was ranked almost unanimously red by the British Chambers of Commerce in their latest assessment.
The independent business network revealed their RAG ratings today, with just two amber ratings among the 24 otherwise red classifications.
RAG ratings are used in project management to flag issues or status reports, based on red, amber and green colours used in a traffic light rating system.
The system was used by the BCC to give business answers to practical questions they face over the UK's pending departure from the European Union "rather than endless debates over institutional and constitutional arrangements".
As the report notes, the classifications are what firms of "every size and sector need in order to take decisions, invest and prepare for the future", with progress red on most issues and amber on the remaining few.
Adam Marshall, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said: "Over the past two years, businesses have been patient. We have supported the government's drive to seek the best possible deal for the UK economy. We have given time, expertise and real-world experience to support hard-pressed civil service negotiators. We have convened all across the UK to ensure that every business community's Brexit concerns can be heard by elected representatives and officials.
"Now, with the time running out ahead of the UK's exit from the EU, business patience is reaching breaking point.

"Businesses have every right to speak out when it is abundantly clear that the practical questions affecting the competitiveness of their firms and the livelihoods of millions of people remain unanswered. With less than nine months go to until Brexit day, we are little closer to the answers businesses need than we were the day after the referendum.
"It's time for politicians to stop the squabbling and the Westminster point-scoring – and start putting the national economic interest first. These are not 'siren voices' or special interests. They are the practical, real-world concerns of businesses of every size and sector, in every part of the UK."
