These steps can help you secure your deployment of the open source MySQL Community Server.
MySQL allows owners to determine who has access to the database, as well as what actions they are able to perform in it. Unfortunately, this can only be done on the level of users and hosts via which they are connected. Additional features, like users forming groups or the implementation of the role-based access control (RBAC) approach, are realized with the help of proprietary or third-party extensions.
MySQL supports encrypted SSL/TLS connections, with the presence of keys and certificates for both servers and clients as a main requirement. Setup and debugging present quite a large effort.
User authentication can also be performed using certificates.
Additional plug-ins allow for implementing two-factor authentication or storing passwords in encrypted form.
MySQL also has built-in tools for blocking hosts that failed authentication.
In terms of information security, it makes sense to enable and analyze the error log and general query log. The error log focuses on information about MySQL-server issues. The general query log contains information about connections and data received from clients.
Unfortunately, audit is only possible through third-party plug-ins. At the moment, they are in development by MySQL Enterprise, Percona, MariaDB and McAfee.
Starting with version4.0.2, MySQL supports a set of cryptographic functions: AES_ENCRYPT (), AES_DESCRYPT (), DES_ENCRYPT (), DES_DECRYPT (). Their implementation and usage has a number of specific features.
The reality is that MySQL Community Server out of the box is not safe, and most developers and administrators don't take any measures to improve the situation.
To avoid information security risks, and therefore minimize the likelihood of data loss or theft, it's important to pay attention to the following recommendations.
This measure will prevent attacks by SQL injections and vulnerabilities in PHP applications.
It is important to make sure that MySQL processes have been launched from a system user with a unique UID/GID.
Do not give users global privileges, with the possible exceptions of, for example, root, backup user, monitoring user, and replication user.
Carefully give out privileges such as SUPER or FILE.
Install the variable secure_file_priv in order to limit the operation of import and export by certain server directories.
By default, the MySQL server is listening on all network interfaces. If there is no need for remote access to the database, turn it off by using the skip-networking option.
Use the bind-address and port options in the [mysqld] section to accurately set the interface and port to be used by the MySQL server. It is recommended to use a port number different from the standard one.
Use the variable max_connect_errors to restrict the hosts that have failed to establish a connection to the database.
Install log_error_verbosity (log_warnings ) = 2 to receive information exclusively on warnings and errors.
Using the option ssl-mode=REQUIRED is also recommended.
For easier setup, the script mysql_ssl_rsa_setup comes together with the MySQL package.
It's vital to remember that connection encryption may have negative affect on DBMS performance.
MySQL has a long list of bugs, some of which belong to the category of security vulnerabilities. It is important to install updates regularly and on time, and be aware of how often they are available.
Databases must be protected by a firewall. The influence of Linux iptables does not significantly affect performance.
By using such solutions as the MySQL Router or creating your own API intermediates between the database and the application, you will be able to protect the data in the database from most threats.

Southern Company's culture of innovation stretches back more than 100 years, to the early days of the 20th century when its operating companies were just starting to make a difference in a nascent New South thirsty for the power to transform the region's economy and quality of life.
The creation of a new customer-focused energy innovation hub, announced by Southern Company on April 1, 2015, continues the legacy of innovation that has fueled customer service and regional growth for a century. The hub will be known as the Energy Innovation Center.
One of the company's earliest innovators was Tomlinson Fort Johnson, a Georgia Power engineer who in 1916 created a way for line crews to change out faulty insulators while lines were still energized, drastically reducing outages at a time when customers were just beginning to use electricity.
The Johnson Transmission Clamp contributed "as much to the advancement of the art of transmitting and distributing electricity as any invention of the 1910-1920 decade," according to author Wade Wright. Johnson would later invent the "buzz stick," which would enable linemen to detect faulty line insulators.
In those early days, when hydroelectricity was still king, dams across America could be rendered helpless by flood waters and unable to make electricity efficiently, if at all. Oscar Thurlow knew there had to be a better way to build hydro plants. And as Alabama Power began building Mitchell Dam in 1921 — with more dams on the drawing boards – Thurlow, the company's chief engineer, knew the reliability and financial viability of the young company rested on him and his young engineering staff.
The Thurlow Backwater Suppressor would be patented later that year and change the way dams were built worldwide.
Between 1925 and 1930, an Alabama Power team led by George Middlemiss greatly improved system reliability by creating high-capacity fuses to lessen the effect of lightning on transmission lines. Meanwhile, Middlemiss teamed with James Oliver, another Alabama Power engineer, to develop high-tension breakers with fast, automatic reclosing equipment.
In 1941, Alabama Power CEO Tom Martin — realizing the importance of research and innovation to the development of the South — headed up the formation of the Southern Research Institute in Birmingham, a research organization serving life sciences, engineering, energy and environmental-protection industries.
Then, in 1954, Southern Company engineer Don Early invented an analog computer system to replace the slide rules, charts and graphs used to calculate the most economic electric generation to dispatch to customers at any given moment. The "Early Bird" would coordinate and dispatch power from all Southern Company system plants, draw visitors from around the globe and be hailed as the most advanced system of its type. It would save customers millions of dollars and set a new standard for power generation efficiency.
In 1969, Southern Company president Alvin Vogtle created the company's first research and development department, giving it the task of searching for answers to the most demanding environmental challenges. The research done by the department would quickly become an industry standard.
Randall Rush was one of department's early engineers. After leading a scrubber research project at Gulf Power's Plant Scholz in the 1970s, he would eventually advocate building scrubbers made of plastic. This was at a time when scrubbers were supposed to be built of metal. Or, at least, that's what everyone thought in the 1980s. Not Rush, who believed in his idea so much that he risked his career for it, standing fast by his conviction. As a result, Southern Company saved $500 million over peer utilities in installing scrubbers to meet clean air regulations.

John Bruni, Scientific Americans: The Making of Popular Science and Evolution in Early-Twentieth-Century U.S. Literature and Culture
John Bruni, Scientific Americans: The Making of Popular Science and Evolution in Early-Twentieth-Century U.S. Literature and Culture (Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 2014).
Herbert Spencer's doctrine of 'survival of the fittest' was an undeniable influence on non-specialist conceptions of evolution around the turn of the twentieth century, particularly in America. Social Darwinism, though inaccurately named, shaped much of the political thought of the era. John Bruni, however, challenges the idea that social Darwinism had 'a complete monopoly on the cultural meanings of evolution' (2). He begins his book with a chapter surveying articles contesting the meaning and mechanisms of evolution from the popular science magazines Scientific American and Popular Science Monthly. Drawing on Niklas Luhmann's writings on systems theory, Bruni argues that popular science journalism 'questions the fantasy of media as first-order observation and troubles the notion of objectivity through its commentary on scientific knowledge production' (14). Once he has established that science is socially constructed and can be analysed on the same basis as art, Bruni proceeds to interrogate the ways in which evolutionary and thermodynamic theories have been deployed both to support and to challenge the cultural and economic imperialism of the U.S., as well as ideas about race, class, and gender.
The four remaining main chapters take canonical books by Theodore Dreiser, Edith Wharton, Jack London, and Henry Adams as case studies of the deployment of scientific theories for political ends. In chapter two, Bruni demonstrates the ways in which Dreiser's Sister Carrie and Wharton's House of Mirth depict the waste of human lives as the necessary effects of dissipation in the thermodynamic system of global capitalism, constituting a type of narrative which Bruni names 'dirty naturalism'. Chapter three details the ways in which Jack London counterpoises Spencer's optimistic progressive model of evolution against Thomas Huxley's more pessimistic visions of atavism and regression in the novels The Call of the Wild and White Fang. Bruni highlights the ways in which the struggle for survival, as reflected in London's novels, naturalizes race and gender hierarchies by portraying the necessity of such hierarchies across both human and non-human species. In chapter four Bruni applies performance theory alongside systems theory to create an ecocritical reading of Wharton's The Custom of the Country; a reading that leads to the pessimistic conclusion that the systems of biopolitical control and nationalism will remain incurably blind to the ecological destruction they bring about. Finally, in chapter five, Bruni argues that Henry Adams 'misreads science by pushing its meanings beyond disciplinary constraints to claim that thermodynamic degradation is a universal law with moral dimensions' (153).
One major accomplishment of Bruni's work is to re-theorize many of the conclusions about the relationships between science, culture, and politics that have already been drawn by earlier studies in literature and science. Earlier proponents of science as a social construct, such as Bruno Latour, George Levine, and many others, have focused on the 'strong programme' within the sociology of science as the basis of their assertions. The strong programme—in radically contextualizing science as limited by the blind spots and preoccupations of the culture which produces it, as opposed to providing access to objective truth—brings science and literature into closer contact, but does so by challenging only our perception of science. The application of Luhmann's systems theory, which is equally relevant in biological, political and literary settings, is a creative way for Bruni to maintain the interdisciplinary dimension of literature and science on the level of structure as well as of content.

Today we highlight tremendous business analyst and post-consulting leadership jobs at Tesla Motors. Tesla Motors is an American company that has made waves in the car industry, so much so that General Motors then-Vice Chairman Robert Lutz said in 2007 that this company's car inspired him to push GM to develop the Chevrolet Volt.
Based out of Palo Alto, California, Tesla Motors was established in 2003 with offices in 3 countries. The company now employs more than 6,000 people worldwide, and still operates in 3 countries.
Led by brilliant visionary co-founder and CEO Elon Musk, Tesla Motors since its inception has been out to create an electric car revolution. Tesla Motors first gained widespread attention following its production of the Tesla Roadster, the first fully electric sports car. The company's second vehicle is the Model S, a fully electric luxury sedan, and its next two vehicles are the Models X and 3 respectively.
Tesla also markets electric powertrain components, including lithium-ion battery packs to automakers including Daimler and Toyota. Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, has said that he envisions Tesla as an independent automaker, aimed at eventually offering electric cars at prices affordable to the average consumer. A vehicle under $40,000 launched in 2017.
Working at Tesla Motors is an absolutely amazing experience – wouldn't you want to work for a a creative company that is both concerned about sustainable living and pushing the envelope on what is possible? You know that when CEO Elon Musk says, "I think it's important to have an environment where people look forward to coming to work, so we put effort in making their workstation beautiful," you are going to be in an environment where everything is going to be clean and pristine.
Besides some of the traditional benefits that most employers offer, like 401ks and stock options, some of the additional Tesla Motors perks are pretty cool – like being able to zip around the giant factory in Fremont, CA on bikes and scooters adorned with everything from Tesla logos and colors to utility baskets and whistles. Tesla provides the bikes and they are available for anyone to use; on the frame, it says, "Property of Tesla, do not lock," so when a bike is available, a Tesla employee can just grab it and go. Another cool perk is the factory's various cafeterias and cafes which provides free coffee, tea, soda, hot and cold cereal, as well as a changing offering of seasonal snacks and fruit.
Like Tesla Motors co-founder and CEO, Elon Musk, Tesla is a company full of game changers and disruptors and that's exactly the type of people the company wants to bring on board. Tesla is looking for people who are passionate about what they do, the environment, and changing the world for the better.
With Tesla Motors, there is not one way to ensure you are accepted to go on to the interview process. You can apply for a position at Tesla in many different ways, ranging from job fairs, staffing agencies, applying online, or applying in person. No matter your preferred route, all have approximately the same likelihood of getting passed on to the interview phase. We highly recommend, however, that you network before applying rather than going in cold.
The typical hiring process from application to offer will vary largely depending upon the position that you are applying for, but you can expect the timeline to take anywhere from 2-9 weeks. After submitting your initial application with your resume/CV, cover letter, and other supporting documents, HR typically will respond to your application within a few days.
Once you get passed to Round 0, you can bank on at least 3-5 interviews (although they have been known to give more) which typically consist of connecting with the recruiter for a phone screen and a phone interview with the hiring managers. Again, depending on the position for which you have applied, the screening process can vary slightly. For some of the more technical roles and offices, Tesla will require you to do a written test, which you must complete in 30 minutes, followed by connecting with staff online so you can be observed doing it again live.
It is also noteworthy to add that if you get far enough in Tesla's interview process, you may be asked to write two essays, one answering "Why Tesla should hire you" and the other on "Why you want to work for Tesla," which will then be reviewed by the CTO or CEO (pretty crazy the C-Suite makes time for that, huh?). After that, you will have another interview with a hiring manager over the phone. If that goes well, you will be invited to an almost-all-expense paid trip to company headquarters in Palo Alto.
The on-site interview portion typically consists of a presentation that you have to deliver, followed by a series of one-on-ones with engineers/managers. Once you've gone through the rigorous screening and presentation, Tesla fit interviews have been known to be somewhat easy, but don't let that fact catch you off guard – you haven't come this far just to slip up now!
You still need to be prepared for the fit portion of the interview, because the questions that you receive will be both behavioral – "Why do you want to work for Tesla?" or "Walk me through the steps you took to finish a project on your resume?" – and experiential (use the CAR method): "Which personal event has had the biggest impact on your career to date?", "What type of leader are you?" and "What motivates you?" They are also known to ask a lot of tough and interesting questions like "Why should I hire you?, "What are your three greatest weaknesses?", "What can you contribute to the company?" or "For each job you held, what was your greatest achievement and impact?" – so be prepared with your hero stories! They will almost certainly drill down on your experiences and role play with you, so don't go in without preparation.
If Tesla likes you, they will do their best to find you a position, even if it is not in the original position you applied for. If you have the right attitude and willingness to work – that, more than anything – will get you hired.
Lastly, make sure you know the market value for the position in which you are applying. After you get an offer, even though Tesla is known to be pretty fixed and rigid with offers, there is room to negotiate if you can show you have other options.

Pembury is a very large village located in the southeasternmost county in England – Kent. This village has a population of more than 6.000 according to the census from 2001.
There is archeological evidence that there was permanent human presence in this region many years before the Norman Conquest started and one of them is the village's church that has Norman origin. In addition, there are remains from an iron Age settlement close to the village discovered 5 years ago. This means that the history of Pembury starts at least 30 centuries ago. Although Pembury was not mentioned in the Domesday book, there is a written record of this village in the Textus Roffensis from the 12th century where Pembury is called Peppingeberia. Pembury was also known as Pepenbery according to Edward Hasted.
In the beginning of the 20th century Pembury was a tiny rural village, but with the merging of the neighboring hamlets, Pembury started to develop fast.
What makes this village interesting is the fact that it belongs to the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are many interesting valleys and rapid slopes in this region and this is why many people visit this region. It is excellent for hiking and photography.
There are many notable people who were born and raised in Pembury including Victorine Foot (painter), Michel Roux (chef) and Danny Webb (motor racer).
Pembury is situated about 40 miles southeast of London. It takes a 90-minute drive to get there from London via A21 and A20. Drivers can also use A2 and A21 and A13 road. The nearest train station can be found in Tunbridge Wells which also the closest town to Pembury.
This church was built in the end of the 11th or the beginning of the 12th century by the Normans. The local people know this church as the Old Church. It is located outside of the village in the woods. The church got its final appearance in the 14th century.
This is a much newer church built in the middle of the 19th century on land owned and donated by the Marquess Camden of Bayham. It is situated in one of the highest points in Pembury and it was built because of the growing number of people who lived in this village.

God has given everyone different abilities, and He wants us to multiply and expand and utilieze those abilities for God's Kingdon. Everything belongs to the Lord, so the talents that God gives us are his and should be used for His glory. We will all answer to God one day for what we do with our talents, gifts, and time.

Green and Gone Pest Solutions strives to surpass all best practices in the field of health, environment and treatment effectiveness, with their cutting-edge techniques of pest control.


Dr. Julian Lewis: This is a rather personal speech, and I apologise for that. Shortly after it became clear that we had won the campaign to prevent MPs' home addresses from being disclosed as a result of future Freedom of Information requests, an hon. Labour lady Member who had suffered badly from the disclosure of her address approached me with a warning. She said: "Be careful, Julian, you will be targeted next for what you have done."
I had expected from the outset that by organising this campaign, I would inevitably sacrifice some of my privacy by drawing attention to my own electoral arrangements; but I spelt them out in detail in the Whitsun Adjournment Debate on 22 May, explaining how I have always registered under a nom de plume for security reasons, by arrangement with the Electoral Registration Officer.
On 4 July, the Chief Executive of New Forest District Council, Dave Yates, wrote me a friendly letter in his capacity as Electoral Registration Officer, saying that he wanted me to reconsider my practice of doing that, which had recently come to his attention. That was because the arrangement I had made to do that every year since 1996 had been superseded 12 months ago, by a new system of Anonymous Registration that needed to be counter-signed by a Chief Constable. As soon as Mr. Yates supplied me with the new form, I completed it and obtained the necessary signature, and I am now anonymously registered for the next five years – although it turns out that I may have been wasting my time.
I asked Mr. Yates whether I was correct in thinking that the matter had been raised with him by Terry Scriven, a retired colonel in the Military Police who will be standing against me at the next election, and he confirmed that that was so. Mr. Scriven could easily have asked me openly about this matter, but he is the sort of individual whom, unfortunately, one encounters from time to time in public life – the sort of person who smears one in the papers but rushes to shake one's hand when one meets him. He insinuates wrongdoing without having the guts openly to accuse one. His political party is irrelevant to this sort of behaviour, which I have experienced on a number of previous occasions.
Dave Yates saw no reason to deny that Mr. Scriven had e-mailed him about my registration arrangements, and eventually I was sent the relevant exchanges. The first e-mail was headed: "Registration as a voter under a false name". It identified my home address in the constituency and asked who had authorised the procedure. The Chief Executive replied – I believe that he did so on 11 July – confirming that I had been registered under the nom de plume by arrangement with the previous Electoral Registration Officer for reasons of personal security, but that, as the law had changed last year, I would be using the new system in future. Mr. Scriven said that he accepted that, and that should have been the end of the matter.
However, last Friday – just seven days later – my office was informed by Dave Yates and another senior Council official, Dave Atwill, that a journalist had been in touch stating that he had seen an e-mail from Dave Yates that seemed to suggest an irregularity in my registration. The journalist was none other than Ben Leapman of the Sunday Telegraph – the only participant in the Freedom of Information court case who had demanded the publication of all MPs' home addresses in order to check that we are not fiddling our expenses.
I fully accept that a newspaper is perfectly at liberty to employ any journalist it likes, although the choice of Mr. Leapman by the Sunday Telegraph has a certain incongruity; it gives me the sort of feeling that Labour Members would have if the Guardian took on my hon. Friend the Member for Stone (Bill Cash) or my hon. Friend, as I call him, the Member for Castle Point (Bob Spink) as its European Union correspondent. Unfortunately, apart from employing an anti-Conservative activist as a political journalist, the Sunday Telegraph has bought into his reckless campaign to expose MPs' addresses and has done everything it can to attack me and suppress the arguments against this.
I have reasonably broad shoulders – I would not have taken up this issue in the first place if I did not. However, one thing alone dismayed me: the fact that I knew that Terry Scriven had gratuitously included my home address in the e-mail correspondence with Dave Yates. If, as I had every reason to suspect, Mr. Scriven had disclosed these e-mails to Ben Leapman, I wanted to know whether he had at least had the decency to remove my address before communicating with the one reporter in the country who had ardently campaigned for the publication of MPs' home addresses and who, it is reasonable to infer, is extremely upset at the fact that, thanks to my campaign, that will not now happen.
Julian understands that you have made available to a newspaper journalist the exchange of emails between Dave Yates and yourself.
As you know, and appeared to accept, there are security reasons why Julian does not wish his home address to be made public.
Will you please confirm, as soon as possible, whether you removed the ... address from these emails before you disclosed them to a third party?"
I am sure Julian is aware of my security background. I support him totally in keeping the addresses of MPs, Prospective MPs and indeed Councillors [sic] addresses private and out of the public domain (this includes journalists)."
Two simple questions ... Have you disclosed any of the contents of any of Dave Yates's and your e-mails about Julian's address to a newspaper reporter or haven't you? A simple yes or no is all that is needed ... If the answer is yes, then did you remove the details of his home address ... or didn't you?"
I think you need to read my mails carefully and I also think you need to think carefully about how you phrase your emails.
Finally, let us ... be clear about the role/capacity you are writing what appear to be demanding emails to me."
Such exchanges were repeated several more times, with Mr. Scriven ducking and diving, dodging and weaving, but ultimately saying that he would "clear up any confusions" I might have at an event on Sunday at which we would both be present. However, he did not do that, and I handed him a very short letter which asked him to state, without further prevarication, direct answers to those two questions. He took the envelope and headed at high speed to the nearest gentlemen's toilet, where he remained for several minutes. It is conceivable that he did not open the envelope there, but I find that hard to believe. Nevertheless, he still did not answer the questions.
"happy to confirm to anyone who is interested that your dealings with me and my Electoral Registration officers have been in complete good faith on all occasions."
Finally, after several more e-mails and a deadline, I received a letter this morning from Mr. Scriven, who finally assured me that he did not disclose the information. He suggests that it could have been released because people had put in Freedom of Information requests to the Council and got hold of the e-mails that way. I have checked with the Council, and no such information request was made. I therefore have to rely on the Sunday Telegraph to tell me whether Ben Leapman is now in possession of my private home address, which is quite properly anonymously registered – irrespective of whether the e-mail correspondence was supplied to him by Terry Scriven, phantom FOI requesters, Father Christmas or little green men from Mars.

Everton suffer major injury blow ahead of Leeds United fixture
Leeds United travel to face Everton in the Premier League on Saturday and the Toffees will be without one of their best players

Everton will be without star defender Lucas Digne for this weekend's match against Leeds United.
Due to the truncated nature of the season, matches are being played in a much shorter time frame than usual and that has led to a significant increase in injuries throughout the Premier League.
Leeds know about that all too well as they currently have five players out on the sidelines and Everton have also suffered, with Digne the latest to be ruled out.
Our sister site, the Liverpool Echo, reports that the Frenchman has suffered an ankle injury in training this week, which may require surgery, and now faces two months on the sidelines.
Digne has established himself as one of the best attacking full-backs in the country since he arrived on Merseyside from Barcelona in 2018 and is an integral part of the way they play.
The left-back has four assists in eight league games so far this season including two in their 3-2 victory against Fulham last weekend, so will be sorely missed by Carlo Ancelotti.
It means the Toffees will be without both of their first choice full-backs for the match with captain Seamus Coleman also resigned to the treatment room after suffering a thigh injury while training with the Republic of Ireland during the international break.

Alex Iwobi has slotted into replace Coleman in the right wing-back position and youngster Niels Nkounkou is the most likely to take Digne's spot, though Fabian Delph also has experience at left-back.
Jean-Philippe Gbamin remains a long-term absentee for Everton while Leeds will be without Pablo Hernandez, Diego Llorente, Jamie Shackleton, Gaetano Berardi and Adam Foreshaw for the match.

Scripting Guide > JSL Building Blocks > Alternatives for Gluing Expressions Together
Alternatives for Gluing Expressions Together
You can separate expressions with a semicolon, either on the same line or on different lines. JMP then evaluates each expressions in succession, returning the result of the last one. Here is an expression that first sets a to 2 and then sets b to 3:
b = 3;
The semicolon joins the two expressions and returns the value of the last one. So if x = (a = 2; b = 3), the value of x is 3.
The Glue() function returns the result of the last expression. This function is equivalent to using semicolons. The following expressions both return 3:
Glue( a = 2, b = 3 );
a = 2; b = 3;
The First() function also evaluates each argument sequentially but returns the result of the first expression. The following expression returns 2:
First( a = 2, b = 3);
What does First() do in the following script?
x = 1000;
First( x, x = 2000 );
The First() function returns the value of x (1000). 2000 is then assigned to x.

Q: Is there a way to change the position of a product for all attributes it belongs to? So if you sort with best value it uses the products position attribute in the category to decide the position.
The lower the higher it appears on the catalog page and search page.
We have a custom sold-out attribute that on some products is yes.
On those products we would like the position to be 9999 for all categories it belongs to.
Is there a way to change it on a per product level or do you have to change it on each category?
If there is a programmatic way that would also be the next best prize.

A: My answer is assuming you're using Magento 1, let me know if you're on Magento 2
The positions are stored directly in the catalog_category_product table.
My suggestions would be to get the list of product ids that need to be updated with a code like this:
$collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')
         ->addAttributeToFilter('sold-out','yes');

foreach ($collection as $product) {
    echo $product->getProductId() . ",";
}

Once you got that list you can run a SQL query directly on your database that will look like this:
UPDATE catalog_category_product SET position = 9999 WHERE product_id IN (1,2,3)

1, 2 and 3 are for the example, just replace them with the list of product id you got from the code I pasted and separate them with commas.

MB: Know what you are, what your restaurant is, and stick to it. Do not waver in your convictions.
Location is of utmost importance. As a consultant, I've been called in to liquidate some fantastic restaurants that were simply in the wrong place.
Patience. If you've got a fantastic PR team to create a buzz for you, you may be a success from the moment you first open your doors. Sometimes, however, success comes slowly, and it's important to not get discouraged in the meantime.
Staff training. Our staff is given an employee handbook and menu guidebook each time we release a new menu, which is four times per year.

In a clear departure from its earlier position, Pakistan has cautioned against the US forces' withdrawal from Afghanistan without first achieving the complete peace and security in the country. "Pakistan has been reiterating that the US forces should stay in Afghanistan till the achievement of complete peace and stability," Foreign office spokesperson said at the weekly briefing on October 18. "I would like to draw your attention to the chaos in the aftermath of the withdrawal of USSR [Union of Soviet Socialist Republics] in the late 1980s. The region cannot afford anything similar, at this time," he added. Taliban continue to call the shots. Provincial governor, Police and Intelligence chiefs were assassinated in an attack in Kandahar province while the top American commander in Afghanistan General Austin Miller narrowly escaped. Probably, it was an inside job. Over thirty percent polling stations are not likely to open due to violence during October 20 parliamentary polls. On a request by the government of Afghanistan, Pakistan has decided to keep the friendship gates on Pakistan Afghanistan border crossing points at Chaman and Torkham closed on October 19 & 20 2018 . The decision has been taken to support Afghanistan in smooth conduct of upcoming Parliamentary elections in the country. Both the crossing points will remain closed for all kinds of traffic except emergency cases.
Afghanistan is undoubtedly in a chaos, and Pakistan's concerns about post US pullout are not unfounded. May be Pakistan is anticipating a sudden pullout by President Trump. Whatever, the people of Pakistan need to be taken into confidence over this change of stance.

It would appear that the acquisition is for both talent and IP. And as Greg Sterling points out strategic. The company website notes that their "patent-pending technology allows non-technical marketing executives to design sophisticated, relevant promotions—and measure ROI in real time—directly over the Internet". The product is interesting because it will deliver the coupon either via cell phone & social networks or via traditional methods of print and register receipt AND closes the loop for easy redemption and tracking.
It is an intriguing acquisition in a number of ways. It obviously puts Google directly into the coupon business. In the past they have never committed to couponing in any significant way and it had been said that Larry Page in fact had a disdain for coupons. Their past behaviors have certainly reflected a certain schizoid, on again off again approach to coupons.
This product, while currently serving large chains and manufacturers, could readily scale down to a single merchant and fit into the SMB dashboard/integrated marketing portal that is rumored to be in the works. Imagine a single location grocery store or our local 30 location chain being able to have an advertising person easily issue coupons across media & track the results in real time. It sounds like a winner to me. It could obviously move beyond groceries as well.
Now lets hope that it sees the light of day sooner than Google's last local purchases of PunchD and TalkBin.
"… to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful (and monetized)".
+1 Will's comment. They're definitely heading towards a total marketing solution. The email thing would already be very effective using the segmentation available with Plus Circles…it would be very difficult for Constant Contact, say, to integrate something that simple, IMHO.
@Will yes a total solution that sits in mothballs till when? This is very cool but when will we see it? Why in local does Google acquire but never seems to deploy?
They are heading that way but execution and focus has been lacking… I would love to see it but…..
2. Yet another feature that's great for sushi bars but probably useless to service-based businesses.
I agree that businesses deserve both a working product and more importantly a clear path….
Although do I think that couponing could have fairly broad appeal…. restaurants, grocery stores, big box retail, manufacturers …. across a fairly broad stroke of industries.

Mara, Slavic goddess of winter's end, by Margo Kai
Good Afternoon!!
Putin's war on Ukraine continues unabated. Each day he commits more atrocities. It's getting very difficult for me to understand the U.S. and NATO's refusal to get more involved in the conflict. Obviously I'm no expert and I do think President Biden has handled this unmanageable situation very well. Every day I'm thankful that Trump is no longer in charge. But surely we can find a way to do more? After Russia's deliberate bombing of a children's and maternity hospital, don't we have to consider further actions? As I said, I'm no expert, but today I'm going to post some articles that present some alternative views of the events in Ukraine.
I'll begin with the most radical critique, offered by Sean O'Grady at The Independent: Russia bombed a maternity hospital – and the west let them do it.
Bombing a maternity hospital is an atrocity, by definition. The only possible reason for it happening might be that it was collateral damage, or accidentally perpetrated. But the Russians have another story.
The Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, told a press conference that the Russians deliberately targeted it – because it was not being used as a maternity unit at all, whatever the western journalists claim. Lavrov explained to a disbelieving world that, contrary to the pictures carried by responsible media outlets, this wasn't a hospital but was in fact a military installation, taken over by the Ukrainian Azov Battalion and "other ultra-right", "radical" groups.
Lavrov explained that the mothers had already been "driven out" by these extremists. Hence what Lavrov called the "pathetic outcries concerning so-called atrocities" and the biased media coverage. You may think that what you saw was a heavily pregnant woman being carried away on a stretcher, but the foreign minister of the Russian Federation is telling you that she's a neo-Nazi renegade, or possibly an actor, or else a human shield (which is no justification for the attack anyway). Lavrov invites the world to draw its own conclusions.
That's Russia's side of the story, an atrocity against the truth itself, the ultimate in gaslighting. If you're going to lie, I suppose you might as well go big. But the world has already drawn its conclusions about what it can see, not just in Mariupol but in many other places across Ukraine – just like the previous atrocities and war crimes committed by Russians and Russian stooges in Syria, Georgia and Chechnya.
Still Life with Cups, by Lena Vylusk, 2018
O'Grady argues that the U.S. has appeased Putin going back to Obama's failure to defend his "red line" in Syria and Trump's disgraceful defense of Putin in Helsinki.
Biden and every western European power gave Putin due notice that they would not fight for Ukraine, and wouldn't do much more than slap the usual token sanctions on him. They let him have Crimea with not much more than some modest barriers to trade with Russia and some eloquent indignation from Obama.
What was Putin supposed to think about the west after a decade and a half of empty threats? He prodded his bayonet at us and never found the hard steel of a credible military response. What would the west really do if he invaded Ukraine?
What indeed. Not even the atrocity in Mariupol will provoke western intervention. Not even a single rattly old MiG jet will be lent to the Ukrainians so they can defend their citizens against the next atrocity.
So, because of that, there will certainly be more atrocities. There is disturbing talk about the use of chemical weapons – the red line that Obama laid down in Syria and then forgot about. Maybe they'll go for battlefield nuclear weapons next, or organise a surrogate Russian militia to plant a dirty bomb in Maidan Square. Whatever happens, Putin may be sure that he will face no retaliation and no direct military action.
O'Grady makes some good points.
This is a long read from David Cay Johnston at Raw Story: The dangerous Ukraine invasion issue no one is talking about.
Let's step back for a moment from the awful human tragedy in Ukraine as the Russian army targets civilians. There is an even bigger issue here. And until we come up with an answer it's going to continue to plague the world.
It's an issue that Americans, more than anyone else, should understand. Yet based on all the news and commentary I've been reading since the Russian buildup began almost a year ago, this overarching issue is not even on the table.
The bigger issue is that there is no way to stop a nuclear power from invading a non-nuclear power, as America did 18 years ago this month when it took down the dictatorship in Iraq.
And make no mistake, Vladimir Putin himself has long made clear that Ukraine is not the only country he intends to take over.
Three years ago I spent a week in Ukraine. Every person to whom I spoke, whether in a formal interview or casual conversation, said that Putin was going to invade their country.
Portrait of Alice, by Marina Kim
Many of them expected an invasion while Donald Trump was in office. That made sense because Trump repeatedly declared his trust in and fealty to Putin, denounced American intelligence agencies saying he did not trust them and lambasted our NATO allies. Destabilizing and, if possible, shuttering NATO is a long-term stated goal of the modern Russian tsar, as foreign affairs columnist Trudy Rubin explained recently.
Putin, whose words I have carefully read for two decades, doesn't plan to stop with Ukraine. He has called the collapse of the old Soviet Union the worst geopolitical disaster of the 20th century and has said he is determined to put it back together. His words:
"Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century. As for the Russian nation, it became a genuine drama. Tens of millions of our co-citizens and co-patriots found themselves outside Russian territory.
"Moreover, the epidemic of disintegration infected Russia itself."
As I said, this is a long read, and I can't give you the full flavor with brief excerpts. I'll just add that Johnston writes that the same fear of invasion by Russia is common in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania as well. If you're interested in what's happening in Ukraine, I recommend reading the whole thing.
Daniel Henninger at The Wall Street Journal: Memo to NATO: Secure Lviv From Russian Aggression. The Allies saved West Berlin from the Soviets in 1948. They should save the Ukrainian city from Putin 2022.
The clear issue at the center of the war in Ukraine is Russia's unprovoked invasion and intended occupation of a sovereign nation. This crude reality explains the world's united opposition to Vladimir Putin's invasion.
Citizens in free countries everywhere recognize that if Russia wins, a principle of invasion and occupation that World War II was fought to reverse will be re-established. Plausibly, a strategy of unprovoked invasion and occupation will be repeated by China against Taiwan, North Korea against South Korea and Iran against Israel or its neighbors in the Middle East.
It is conventional wisdom that if Mr. Putin takes Ukraine, eventually he will similarly pressure the Baltic states or Poland. Sweden and Finland already operate civilian-based defense plans on this assumption.
Forest Fairy, by Ivan Marchuk
But while the world's people recognize this invasion can't stand, they don't know how to stop it.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has rejected the no-fly zone requested by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as likely to start a war between nuclear-armed Russia and the West. The effectiveness of sanctions on Russian oil is uncertain.
The West's policy of mounting a stand-off defense of Ukraine likely means we are rolling toward a world in which invasion and occupation become normalized, bringing a succession of trips to the nuclear brink with China, North Korea and surely Iran.
Henninger's recommendation:
At the end of World War II, Germany was divided into zones of occupation by the victorious armies. Though the capital of Berlin was in the Soviet-occupied east, the Western allies refused to let Berlin be absorbed into Stalin's communist bloc. Berlin was divided into sectors, with West Berlin protected by the U.S., Britain and France, and East Berlin by the Russians….
Just as the three major Allied powers occupied the western sector of Berlin then, NATO—which was created during the Berlin blockade—should assert and establish control in western Ukraine of Lviv, its airport, the perimeter, and transport connections to nearby NATO members Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania.
As long as Lviv remains free, Mr. Putin will never "occupy" Ukraine. A free Lviv would stand as a counter-symbol to Russian invasion and occupation.
Read the rest at the link. The WSJ has opened it's Ukraine coverage to everyone.
Some Ukraine news: You may have heard that the woman and children who were murdered while trying to escape from the Ukrainian town of Irpin while trying to get to Kyiv, have been identified. A shocking photo of their bodies has been widely circulated. The San Francisco Chronicle: Silicon Valley tech worker was the Ukrainian mom lying dead on street in brutal photo that sparked outrage.
A Silicon Valley employee and her children are the subjects of photos so devastating that they shocked the world: a Ukrainian family lying dead on the pavement, killed by Russian mortar fire while trying to flee the conflict.
Oleksandr Balbyshev, Flower Face
The images of Ukrainian soldiers tending to the bloodied bodies of a woman, her teenage son and young daughter, and their friend ran on the front page of the New York Times this week, along with online videos of the unprovoked attack on civilians. They stirred international outrage and a pledge from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to punish the perpetrators. "There will be no quiet place on Earth for you," Zelenskyy said. "Except for the grave."
Palo Alto startup SE Ranking confirmed Wednesday that the photo depicts its chief accountant, Tatiana Perebeinis, 43, along with her daughter, Alise, 9, and son, Nikita, 18, who were killed by Russian forces as they tried to flee the town of Irpin, a suburb about 15 minutes from Kyiv. They had just dashed across a partially destroyed bridge over the Irpin River into Kyiv when a mortar hit.
"For me as her colleague it's a tragedy to see those pictures," Ksenia Khirvonina, the company's spokeswoman, told The Chronicle. "They show that it's real. On the other hand, they prove that (the) Russian army and Putin himself are monsters who deserve no mercy for their doings."

I'll end with some January 6 news:
NPR reports that Merrick Garland is not shying away from prosecuting Trump: Garland says the Jan. 6 investigation won't end until everyone is held to account.
On his first anniversary as attorney general, Merrick Garland said he's committed to unraveling the conspiracy behind the storming of the U.S. Capitol, in what he calls "the most urgent investigation in the history of the Justice Department."
Members of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot have asserted former President Trump could be charged with conspiracy and obstruction for his actions. But Democrats in Congress and even some of Garland's friends have worried he'll shy away from the political firestorm that would result from charging a former commander-in-chief with a crime.
"We are not avoiding cases that are political or cases that are controversial or sensitive," the attorney general said in an exclusive interview with NPR. "What we are avoiding is making decisions on a political basis, on a partisan basis."
Victor Onyshchenko, Autumn in Synevar Glade
This week, prosecutors won their first convictions in federal court in a Jan. 6 case against former Texas oil worker Guy Reffitt. That followed a guilty plea to seditious conspiracy by an Alabama man affiliated with the far-right Oath Keepers militia.
"We begin with the cases that are right in front of us with the overt actions and then we build from there," Garland said. "And that is a process that we will continue to build until we hold everyone accountable who committed criminal acts with respect to January 6."
Garland discussed his wide remit, where the priorities range from price-fixing in the chicken industry to Russian oligarchs financing the war in Ukraine with ill-gotten gains.
Listen to the interview or read highlights at the NPR link.

CBS News: Guy Reffitt, first January 6 defendant to stand trial, found guilty on all charges.

That's it for me today. What else is happening? What stories are you following?
Lena Vylusk, "Sweet"
The paintings in the post are by Ukrainian artists.
This is an interesting story on Ukrainian art at the AP: At Ukraine's largest art museum, a race to protect heritage.
LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — The director of Ukraine's largest art museum walked its hallways, supervising as staff packed away its collections to protect their national heritage in case the Russian invasion advances west.
In one partially empty gallery of the Andrey Sheptytsky National Museum, employees placed carefully wrapped baroque pieces into cardboard boxes. A few meters away, a group walked down the majestic main staircase carrying a giant piece of sacred art, the 18th century Bohorodchany iconostasis.
"Sometimes the tears are coming because a lot of labor has been put in here. It takes time, energy. You are doing something good, you feel pleased. Today you see empty walls, so it feels bitter, sad. We didn't believe it till the last minute that this could happen," museum General Director Ihor Kozhan said Friday.
The doors of the museum in the western city of Lviv have been closed since Russia's war on Ukraine began on Feb. 24, and heritage sites across the country face danger as the fighting continues. Korzhan said he receives daily calls from other European cultural institutions offering to help as he and his staff race to preserve the museum's works.
Anna Naurobska, the head of the rare manuscripts and books department, said she still doesn't know where to safely store the collection of more than 12,000 items being packed into boxes.
The relocation process and the fear that the collection is in danger in the event of an attack on the city overwhelms her.
"This is our story; this is our life. It is very important to us," Naurobska said.
The Washington Post: Zelensky, having rallied world leaders, shames them for not joining the fight
On Wednesday, Zelensky shared with his 5.1 million Twitter followers video of what Ukrainian officials said was the aftermath of a Russian military strike on a maternity hospital in Mariupol.
"People, children are under the wreckage. Atrocity!" Zelensky wrote. "How much longer will the world be an accomplice ignoring terror? Close the sky right now!" he demanded, repeating his call for Western nations to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine. The United States and other NATO members have refused, saying that would risk putting them in direct conflict with Russia and igniting a wider war.
"Stop the killings!" Zelensky demanded. "You have power but you seem to be losing humanity."
The actor-turned-president now finds himself playing to two audiences. First, there are the besieged citizens of Ukraine, whom the president has rallied into a makeshift civil defense force, crafting molotov cocktails and barricading city streets in anticipation of tens of thousands of Russian troops.
This is an interesting thread. Apparently, Putin, Lavrov, and other Russian leaders have more than one wife and family each. Polina is Lavrov's stepdaughter from his replacement wife.
I would like you to meet Polina Kovaleva. Polina is a 26-year-old glamorous Russian girl from London🇬🇧.

September, 2021 article by Julia Davis at The Daily Beast: Top Russian Diplomat's Secret Life With Millionaire Mistress Exposed
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has reportedly bankrolled his mistress's travel abroad with him on official diplomatic trips to almost two dozen countries around the world, according to a new bombshell report from Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny's team. The report, entitled "Yachts, bribes and a mistress. What Minister Lavrov is hiding," details a plethora of luxury digs and yachts enjoyed by the couple, including a yacht owned by the notorious oligarch Oleg Deripaska, which has been graced by the likes of Belarusian model Anastasia Vashukevich, better known by her pseudonym Nastya Rybka.
Lavrov, 71, is married and has a daughter. His alleged female companion, Svetlana Polyakova, is an actress and a restaurateur, with no known qualifications that would justify her apparent affiliation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Property records unearthed by reporters show that Polyakova and members of her family own real estate in Russia and the U.K. worth about 1 billion rubles ($13.6 million), as well as a fleet of luxury cars worth a total of about 40 million rubles ($545,000).
Why your gas costs so damned much! They're not drilling they're doing stock buybacks and record dividends which means also bonuses to management. Because of the tax structure, actually doing your business is disincented while playing around on Wall Street gets a lot of incentives.

Since the 1980s and definitely this decade, they're better off doing tricks like this than actually doing positive net present value (i.e. profitable) projects in the core business. Most extraction companies have active hedge fund activities that go well beyond hedging risk on price changes.

The "not drilling" part is excellent news. Keep it in the ground!
The stock buybacks on the other hand….
djmm says:
The US rig count is up about 65% over last year, so yes, they are drilling now. It will take time before that translates into more supply.
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-drillers-add-oil-gas-rigs-ninth-time-10-weeks-baker-hughes-2022-03-11/
By the way, I use that 65% number every time a right-wing person complains that President Biden has strangled the oil industry. ;-> Frankly, the price of oil collapsed with the Covid pandemic so it did not pay to drill until demand started coming back.

Pretty much nothing but setbacks for Putin from Ukraine, so overthrow him already!
great read
Putin's stated purpose (in leaked nonpublic communiques) was to demoralize the Ukrainians into surrendering. It was supposed to take a couple of days.
They don't demoralize easily, so he's ratcheting up on the atrocities. Shooting fleeing refugees in the back. Bombing maternity hospitals. Nobody needs to tell him those are atrocities. That's the _point_. It's a feature, not a bug.
The world needs to do what Zelenskyy asks and STOP THE MONSTER.
(Aargh. Also endless screaming.)

NHS faces 'alarming' exodus of doctors and dentists, health chiefs warn


What Worked: The flavors came through wonderfully, with the somewhat aggressive flavor of parsley muted by rich pine nuts and olive oil. What Didn't: I felt there was too much cheese called for in the recipe, which killed a bit of that lightness. The man seems to have an endless trove of pastas that can come together in the time it takes the water to boil. Add the remaining pine nuts whole, along with the lemon zest, parsley, olive oil, and cheeses. When I found this recipe in his ambitious book Cook with Jamie, in which he insisted that "everyone should make this at least once," I was sold immediately.
But more importantly, rather than blending all the ingredients into something homogenous, Jamie calls for mincing the parsley by hand and bashing only half the pine nuts to a paste, then loosening it all with good olive oil.
But perhaps my favorite part was the eating experience: because it wasn't blended, the "pesto" broke up into bites of pine nuts coated with fragrant parsley and pecorino scattered througout the plate, while the olive oil, mashed pine nuts, and pasta cooking water created a luxurious sauce for the noodles. The general idea with a recipe like this is to taste constantly, aiming for balance of richness, acidity, salty, and herbiness. Add in lemon juice to taste, aiming for a tarter-than-you'd think flavor (the lemon will be muted once it's mixed with the pasta). He studied professional cookery at Kendall College in Chicago, and is creative director of Jamco Creative, an outfit in Chicago that specializes in social media marketing.
Finally, use plenty of pasta water until the sauce is truly luxurious; don't let it get too dry.

Adam Schiff On House Russian Probe: 'You Can See Evidence In Plain Sight'
Chris White Tech Reporter
February 17, 2019 11:28 AM ET
California Rep. Adam Schiff said Sunday morning that there is plenty of evidence suggesting the Trump campaign and Russia colluded to tilt the 2016 presidency away from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
"You can see evidence in plain sight on the issue of collusion — pretty compelling evidence," Schiff told Dana Bash on CNN's "State of the Union." "Now there's a difference between seeing evidence of collusion and being able to prove a criminal conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt," the Democrat noted before turning his attention to Republican North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr.
"Chairman Burr must have a different word for it because when you look, for example, at a meeting in Trump Tower, it was offered to the Trump campaign to the president's own son dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of what was described as the Russian government's effort to help Donald Trump in the campaign," he said.
Schiff, who is heading the House Intelligence Committee's investigation into Russian meddling, was referring to Burr's admission that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has been unable to find any evidence that Trump's campaign colluded with Russia. (RELATED: Senate Intel Chairman: 'We Don't Have Anything That would Suggest There Was Collusion')

Burr's panel has conducted more than 200 interviews and reviewed hundreds of thousands of documents as part of an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. "If we write a report based upon the facts that we have, then we don't have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia," Burr told CBS News on Feb. 7.
