Data and information recovery in the past has been a very expensive venture where one had to pay forensic experts to get lost data. With the development of USB Show this is a recovery tool that is highly portable and very compatible with many operating systems. The application is also a small size application making the same very convenient. This application is very useful as it is able to recover hidden and lost files and folders based on a one-click recovery process. The application is able to scan the infected drive, it then allows the user to actually chose on the various documents or folders you want to analyze. When recovery kicks in one is mandated to chose a location on which the recovered data is to saved it is highly advisable to select the USB memory directory as from this one can be able to create copies of the recovered data with ease. This application comes with a multiple of language options.
Have you ever noticed that Trojans, viruses and other malicious software, when you detect them using security applications such as Avira Antivirus and Malwarebytes, appear as hidden files? Additionally, these hidden files take up a significant amount of drive space. Which probably explains why, before you made the discovery, those Word or text files in your flash drive were suspiciously hogging up valuable drive space. No thanks to those hidden files.
Now, this may seem like a clever way for malicious software to sneak into your system, but all this changed when I started using USB Show. This nifty but amazing little program can scan and detect hidden files in virtually any external hard drive device, whether it's as small as a 2 GB flash disk, or a heavyweight 2TB portable hard drive. Now that's really useful. Once detected, USB Show displays the file, allowing you to decide if you want to keep the file or remove it from the drive.
Now you don't need to wonder if your drive contains files that you can't see, files which may pose as a potential threat to your system. Have total peace of mind with USB Show.
To unhide a flash drive. The reason I choose this is that when ever I insert it into someones personal computer it will get infected with virus and there comes the need for usb show after scanning.
I want to use this programTo unhide my documents on my USB key, because after have finished my work on an infected computer I was not able to see all the informations that I had saved.
better than the command : attrib in cmd windows; but previously this progam create a folder without name in usb key and i don't like that please correct !!!
USB Show is a free tool that allows users to recover files hidden by someone or by a virus or malware. USB Show can find any file on a USB stick, flash drive or internal hard disk. This application is portable and users usually highlight this feature for the comfort of running it wherever you want. When you download it, you will notice that it has a very small size, it's really useful and besides, it can operate in any computer without any kind of previous installation.
This application is quite easy to use, and generally, it works really powerfully. Its efficiency stands out for recognizing a great amount of hidden documents by different viruses in the same USB. In fact, you can also run it in hard disks, but be conscious that this process takes much more time.
It uses a 'one-click' process to recover, which consists in having just one button to scan. Its interface looks clear and really intuitive even if you're a beginner. Besides, you have the option of choosing the documents or folder that you want to analyze. In general terms, this tool is really complete, useful and easy to use, but it takes too much time in doing the scans.
It is recommended to be sure that the system that you will analyze is not infected by malware before you recover your files it. For finding hidden folders and documents with this tool, you have to select the directory in the USB memory. Once it starts scanning, the time it takes is variable and may change depending on the size of the content to be evaluated. When the analysis is finished, all the hidden files will be visible and then, you can transfer or back up them.
When the recovered content is ready, you have to make a copy of it in other USB memory or stick. Afterwards, you have to format the analyzed memory because it can have any malware or virus inside, so you have to use the application carefully. If you see any folder with the name RECYCLER just delete it because this folder can activate a virus that can infect your computer.
USB Show is a great tool that allows you to view hidden documents through a quite simple and intuitive process. It's really useful and you can use it to analyze USB devices or hard disks. Besides, it supports different languages and the possibility of updating it manually.

Angel Olsen's All Mirrors is a gorgeous but fatiguing listen
Photo: Cameron McCool
Angel Olsen originally planned to release two different takes on her fourth album, All Mirrors, simultaneously: a solo version and a full-band rendering of the songs. As Olsen details in a letter packaged with the All Mirrors promo, however, once she dived into work with collaborators—including frequent co-writer Ben Babbitt, who contributes string arrangements, piano, and various instruments, and orchestral conductor Jherek Bischoff, who also arranges on several songs—she felt drawn to releasing the fleshed-out version first.
Jagjaguwar
It's easy to hear why: Produced by John Congleton, All Mirrors is a big leap for Olsen beyond rough-hewn indie rock and haunting folk, a stark and attention-grabbing collection where dramatic string accents shroud monochrome post-punk synths and sparse rhythms. Accordingly, her vocals are also sleeker—velvety and throaty like a cabaret performer on some songs, art-pop glassy in other places—and exhibit a range of emotions: skeptical after some deep introspection, or weighed down by sadness. In Olsen's catalog, the album already feels like an analog to Kate Bush's The Dreaming, which is a challenging record known for its bold boundary-stretching.
All Mirrors starts off strong with the superlative "Lark." The song begins with Olsen at the forefront, half-murmuring regrets about a past relationship as strings gather steam behind her. At the end of the first verse, her grief breaks and overflows, as she hollers the lyrics, "Hiding out inside my head it's me again it's no surprise I'm on my own now." As "Lark" progresses, and Olsen unpacks more of her anger and anguish, the strings become more urgent and unsettled. Near the five-minute mark, she wails, "You say you love every single part," before the strings immediately kick in like a torrential downpour, enveloping her as she exclaims, "What about my dreams? What about the heart?"
The song is even more stunning because it's bolstered by incisive instrumentation that allows Olsen's frustration to boil over in a natural, affecting way. Unfortunately, All Mirrors doesn't maintain this subtlety, in large part because the high-alert string arrangements overpower the album's dynamics and delicacy. The synth-cloaked "New Love Cassette" is dragged down by a plodding tempo that's exacerbated by these heavy-handed accents, while the nuance of other songs is overshadowed.
In fact, it's fatiguing to listen to All Mirrors straight through, which makes it easy to overlook the collection's highlights: the oceanic torch song "Impasse," with its gothic bass fuzz and buzzing-beehive strings; the St. Vincent-esque "What It Is" and its galloping, pizzicato string accents; or the jazz-kissed sprawl "Endgame." Even songs without strings suffer by extension: The foggy '70s-rock homage "Spring"—which boasts piano, Mellotron, and various guitars—is sunk by overly busy instrumentation, while the exquisite French-pop trifle "Too Easy" is plush but slight.
As usual, however, Olsen's piercing lyrics go a long way to redeem shortcomings. All Mirrors often wrestles unsparingly at what could've been—"What It Is" comes to the realization that a relationship's façade was deceiving, while "Spring" features the particularly brilliant lines, "Remember when we said we'd never have children / I'm holding your baby now that we're older"—but is determined not to be burdened by the past. "Endgame" finds a protagonist finally having clear-eyed perspective on what sounds like a messy split, while "Chance" tries to live in the moment: "All that space in between where we stand could be our chance." And, despite the thick and layered arrangements, Olsen's emotional range always shines through. "At least at times it knew me," she repeats on the title track, with varying shades of sadness and resignation.
Olsen has never shied away from meticulous musical tactics, especially in the studio. On her sparser records, that careful attention to detail pays dividends, as every single element—a turn of phrase, a spare arrangement, a well-placed crescendo—lands with devastating emotional precision. But applying a similarly fastidious approach to a dense collection such as All Mirrors has the opposite effect: The music is gorgeous but feels labored over, like pottery lacquered with one too many layers of shellac. Hopefully Olsen will also still release her stripped-back take on All Mirrors, as it's the dressing—not the songs themselves—that stumbles.

Young people's leadership, drive for justice, the 'best signals of hope' that biodiversity loss can be halted
© UN Photo/Evan Schneider | Secretary-General António Guterres with youth attendees at the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP15) in Montreal, Canada.
United Nations, 6 December 2022
Secretary-General António Guterres on Tuesday denounced the existing global financial system as "morally bankrupt" and called on youth leaders gathered for a UN summit in Montreal, Canada, to push for justice so that all countries, especially in the developing world, have the tools needed to curb biodiversity loss and restore the balance between humans and nature.
"Beyond biodiversity, beyond climate, there is a central question in the world today and that is justice. We live in a system in which both the economic rules and the financial architecture are morally bankrupt," the UN chief told a side event organized by the Global Youth Biodiversity Network and other youth groups, ahead of the official opening of COP15, the latest edition of the UN Biodiversity Conference.
This COP, the Fifteenth Conference of Parties to the UN Convention on Biodiversity (CBD), runs through 19 December and is expected to see the adoption of a post-2020 roadmap for the conservation, protection, restoration and sustainable management of biodiversity and ecosystems for the next decade.
"Your leadership [in tackling], the war against nature" the Secretary-General told the youth representatives, "is the best signal of hope that this battle is worth fighting and that we have a chance to win. The youth are on the frontline of the battle to rescue humankind… mobilizing even when governments are reluctant to take the situation seriously."
The world's young people are making civil society and the business community understand that this is the moment to reverse course, he stated, adding: "This is the moment to make peace with nature. This is the moment to consider that biodiversity and climate are the two defining issues of our time and these are two battles we cannot afford to lose."
Huge reforms needed
The Secretary-General said that the world we live in is very unfair: "For instance [during the COVID-19 pandemic], vaccines were distributed in a very unfair and unjust way. In a city like New York, people had two vaccines, and some had three boosters. But in the African continent there is still a large number of people that have not had access to even the first vaccine."
He added that at the same time, because developed countries had solid economies, they had "printed money… trillions of dollars to help recover from the pandemic. Developing countries cannot print money because if they did, their currencies would go down the drain. So, [they] have had enormous difficulties recovering from the pandemic [which has] impacted education, health sectors, jobs and many other aspects of life, even as those countries accrued more debt.
"We need to be able to say that huge reforms are needed in order to establish a more equitable economic and financial system in which developing countries also have a chance to guarantee for their citizens the [benefits that technology provides those in developed countries]," said the UN chief.
"If there is one issue that is important for this COP, it is ensuring support to developing countries, namely in Africa," he said, adding along with this, that one of the crucial aspects being discussed is financing.
"We need to make sure there is adequate financing, especially for Africa and developing countries, in relation to the protection of biodiversity. But it's also important to have funding for the kind of transformational activities and transformational movements that are essential for us to win this battle," he said, urging that priority be given boosting the "capacity of young people to transform society – technologies, behaviors, and all other aspects of our common life."

Vote, participate, mobilize
In a written question, a representative wondered what the youth could do to push governments to take the biodiversity crisis more seriously: "We are out in the streets… doing everything we can, but the governments are not moving fast enough."
"I used to be in government, and I can tell you this: one thing governments are very concerned about is votes," responded the UN chief, telling the youth representatives to be very active in telling people not to vote for those that are involved in destroying nature; to not work for companies that are destroying nature; and not to work with civil society organizations that are not engaged in protecting biodiversity.
"The most important thing is to multiply the mechanisms of citizenship that will make governments feel that if they do not correct course, they will lose elections," he explained.
The big banks must change
To a question from a young African representative about what actions could be taken to ensure the continent is able to take full advantage of the financial mechanisms and schemes to protect their biodiversity, Mr. Guterres stressed that the UN and the international community have been fighting for several innovative ways to address that issue.
"Some are farther along than others [but] it's very important not to reduce official development assistance (ODA). Some developed countries are now doing this in their budgets and its very important to denounce that."
He said there was also a need to make sure that when the World Bank and other international development banks operate, they provide guarantees, and assume the first risk in coalitions, in order to mobilize massive private finance at reasonable cost to countries like yours, "because private finance will only go to a country like yours with very high interest rates which will not help you to do what needs to be done."
"So, the international financial institutions must change their business models [and] assume more risk. Some other instruments that we have been fighting for, for example, include [mechanisms] to swap debt for investments in climate action and biodiversity preservation or other areas of sustainable development," he noted.

Drummer Max Weinberg on His 'Jukebox' Tour, Sharing the Stage with Bruce Springsteen and the Loss of Music Legends
Max Weinberg has spent 43 years touring the world with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. And in between his job with the Boss, the 66-year-old drummer managed to hold down a 17-year post as the bandleader for Conan O'Brien's late night talk show. Turns out, he doesn't do well with downtime.
After finishing the 86-city "River" tour in February, the longtime E Street Band drummer was ready to try something new. Enter Max Weinberg's Jukebox, an interactive concert experience where the audience gets to pick the set list and hear Max and his revolving band play the tracks as they were meant to be played. Below, we caught up with the drumming legend to find out more about his latest tour, the destiny that brought him and Bruce Springsteen together and how he's coping with the loss of some of music's biggest legends.
How was Max Weinberg's Jukebox born?
"I'm a drummer who loves to sit in with musicians and other bands. Fortunately I've had 43 years of the greatest platform in existence with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. When I got off the River tour, our last tour at the end of February, I took a month off or so and my manager asked, 'What's next?' And I said, 'You tell me.' And he shared this idea of putting on show built off of playing songs that everyone want to hear. He described it and the idea is that it's a human jukebox. We play two hours of all audience requests from a revolving list of about 300 songs from the '60s and '70s. The songs that I grew up with and feel particularly close to. One thing we noticed on tour so far is that the people who come to see it — and we've been very happy with the turnout — they love hearing these songs played with respect. We cover the English invasion, The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, Manfred Mann, The Zombies. There is some Neil Diamond, we throw in a Bon Jovi tune. It's a great repertoire of music. Being of that era, I respect the original arrangement, the original feel of these songs. And of course we get a nice contingent of Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band fans who like to hear his songs played by someone who has played on the records."
Who's on stage with you?
"I have a revolving cast of characters. I have a team. I group of different people composed of musicians I've played with through the years who are familiar with this sort of genre and vocabulary of music. You have to be attentive to detail. I look for musicians from bands who are familiar with The Beatles catalog. Some of them might play in a local Beatles Tribute Band, because those musicians tend to be focused on the details of what made those records great. I don't think there's any songs in the repertoire that people haven't heard played through the years at weddings, bar mitzvahs, sweet sixteen parties or proms. It's really fun. It is a chance to really forget about the external world and find your reverie in great classic songs. The '60s to late '70s are part of the golden age of rock and roll."
What are some of your most requested Bruce Springsteen songs?
"Every night, without fail, someone asks for "Thunder Road," "She's the One" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out," and we always fulfill that request. This is a party, it's not a really a concert. You become one with the audience. It's very interactive and the excitement level is high. We create an atmosphere where people are welcome to participate. It's you, calling out the songs, played the way you want to hear them and that creates a very personal experience for the audience. For example, somebody called out "I Can See For Miles" by The Who and that song probably came out when I was a junior in high school. So I would imagine myself as Keith Moon [drummer for The Who], and I would channel him. When we were recording the River album, Bruce encouraged me on some of the songs to play like Keith Moon, he was a drummer was that was very vocative of that era, and I can do that. I'm not Keith Moon but I can channel that kind of energy and approach."

Paul McCartney's and John Lennon's Sons Pose Together in New Selfie
The music industry has lost so many legends lately from Tom Petty to David Bowie to Prince. Are you honoring those late artists through your show?
"Absolutely. And a lot of their songs are on my playlist. Almost every night we play "Breakdown" and "American Girl" by Petty. We do "Handle With Care," from George Harrison and The Traveling Wilburys, which the audience love. And from Bowie we often play "Rebel Rebel" and "The Jean Genie." It's been a tough couple of years. You get into that age group where you start losing people and losing people in such a sudden fashion like Prince and Tom Petty, it's been tough. There's enough going on in the world."
Why do you think now more than ever are music and the arts so important?
"Bruce once said that our job is to go into your town, shake the rafters and allow you to dance all of these problems away for a couple of hours, and then fly back out of town. And my experience in that approach is to be 100 percent engaged at all times. With the Jukebox tour, I get to use the verbal chops I developed on seventeen years of late night TV as the bandleader for Conan O'Brien. It comes out naturally in the interaction with the audience and that's a real fun aspect of it. The moment I come out on stage I explain what the audience will see, and people appreciate a performer talking to them. You get to see how the sausage is made musically on the stage. It's very in the moment so I'm having an absolute ball."
Bruce is known for his epic tours. How do you keep your stamina?
"At 66, there are several things you need do. First you need a lot of sleep, you really have to take care of yourself and you have to eat right. You've got to recognize that being a drummer is extraordinarily physical when you play for four or five hours with the E Street Band, you've got to be able to maintain that, not just get through it but you've got to be able to maintain the band. And another thing about playing with Bruce, is I have to be able to play longer than Bruce because he can stop whenever he wants and I can't. It comes down to discipline, dedication and diet. It's hard work whether its Bruce or my own band or anyone else I've played with. You got to commit yourself 100 percent, and naturally after 42 years that ethos rubbed off on me, and I like to think it rubbed off on the people who I've been associated with."
Did you think when you answered that Village Voice ad at the age of 23 that you would end up where you are today?
"I'd like to think yes — I think there was a certain destiny. When I was a teenager I didn't think that I would playing the drums professionally at 66. I always loved playing the drums, but there were other things I certainly could have done and had intended to do. When I met Bruce, I was on my way to finishing college and I was going go to law school. I was so idealistic about music that I wanted that idealism in place and fortunately for me with the E Street Band I've been able to do that. The odds are not even one in a million to bump up against a real true pioneer and a genius like Bruce Springsteen — they don't exist. It's a lot of luck, I think destiny and I worked really hard as a kid in drumming to get jobs, and then in the late '60s I started to get serious about playing music. I was extremely idealistic about it, and I've been very fortunate to be able to maintain that in the face of everything you need to go through to be a musician."
Is there anyone you wish you had the chance to jam with?
"John Lennon comes to mind. I did see him crossing the street once in Manhattan in the '70s. But I've been fortunate to play with so many people who I idolize and still do. You know specifically having the experience being the family music director on a late night TV show for 17 years, I've had the opportunity to perform with so many incredible artists and backing vocalists.
How many big Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band tours do you think you have left in you?
"I don't think about retiring. As long as people wanna hear those songs, and we want to play them. I'm going to continue doing this for as long as I can. It's really fun."

Q: PostgreSQL Limit Who Can Execute Explain Plans If you want the bloody details keep reading otherwise all I'm asking is if you can limit what users are able to run the EXPLAIN command on their SQL statements, something like GRANT EXPLAIN TO billy would be nice, but doesn't seem to exist.
My goal is to encrypt data in a column, index the encrypted column because it can be used on searches, and keep the encryption key hidden from all end users(can live with sys admins or DBA seeing it).  What are some ways to do this in PostgreSQL that would allow this?  And if there isn't a way to do all of this what things do you have in place to try to get there?  My current approach listed below almost gets me there, but when and explain plan is ran on the query the encryption key is exposed. Which is why I wonder if you can restrict access from users being able to use explain.
So here is a walk through of a little setup to demonstrate what I'm talking about.
Say I have some data encrypted in a column in a database table, this column will be searched on via the gui front-end screens or via pg_admin ad-hoc queries.
CREATE TABLE test(id serial,my_data TEXT);

--Fill table with enough data to need an index.
DO $$

DECLARE counter INTEGER := 0;
BEGIN
    WHILE(counter < 1000)
    LOOP
        EXECUTE 'INSERT INTO test(my_data)
                SELECT pgp_sym_encrypt(''avalue' || CAST(counter AS TEXT) || '''' || ', ''apasswordwithsomeentropy'',''compress-algo=1, cipher-algo=aes256'');';
        counter := counter + 1;
    END LOOP;
END$$;

ANALYZE test;

CREATE INDEX index1
  ON test
  USING btree
  (my_data);

This select will still have to do a full table scan, which I want to avoid.
SELECT id,
       my_data,
       pgp_sym_decrypt(cast(my_data as bytea),'apasswordwithsomeentropy')
FROM test
WHERE pgp_sym_decrypt(cast(my_data as bytea),'apasswordwithsomeentropy') = 'avalue114';

"Seq Scan on test  (cost=0.00..665.00 rows=61 width=246)"
"  Filter: (pgp_sym_decrypt((my_data)::bytea, 'apasswordwithsomeentropy'::text) = 'avalue114'::text)"

So what if I make use of a function index to speed this query up.  I use the get_password function to not have the index created with the password hard code in it. Remember I don't want users looking at index defs and seeing the password.  Assume the user can't select from password or execute get_password(), only a single account with extra privileges can. And the get_password() function is only used from in the function index.  So my understanding is the user doesn't need execute rights to the function?
CREATE TABLE password
(
  password_id serial NOT NULL,
  password_value text
);

INSERT INTO password(password_value)
SELECT 'apasswordwithsomeentropy';
from get_password();

CREATE FUNCTION get_password() RETURNS TEXT
    AS 'select password_value
   from password
  where password_id = 1'
    LANGUAGE SQL
    IMMUTABLE;

CREATE INDEX index2 ON test (pgp_sym_decrypt(cast(my_data as bytea),get_password()));

Now when I run the select the database uses index2 and I get the results back nice and fast as I wanted.  The problem is index2 shows the password in plane text when I execute an explain plan on the select query.
SELECT id,
       my_data,
       pgp_sym_decrypt(cast(my_data as bytea),'apasswordwithsomeentropy')
FROM test
WHERE pgp_sym_decrypt(cast(my_data as bytea),'apasswordwithsomeentropy') = 'avalue114';

"Bitmap Heap Scan on test  (cost=4.73..171.49 rows=61 width=246)"
"  Recheck Cond: (pgp_sym_decrypt((my_data)::bytea, 'apasswordwithsomeentropy'::text) = 'avalue114'::text)"
"  ->  Bitmap Index Scan on index2  (cost=0.00..4.72 rows=61 width=0)"
"        Index Cond: (pgp_sym_decrypt((my_data)::bytea, 'apasswordwithsomeentropy'::text) = 'avalue114'::text)"

The only thing I can think of is to create web services to the database that would keep a user from directly interacting with the database.  But being the app is in house it would be nice if some users could still make use of pg_admin on occasion, but not see everything such as explain plans.  These users would not know what an explain plan and won't ever use them.
I keep coming back to creating a web service that wraps all the queries they need to run in functions that are invoked via the web service, but that takes extra time to get released in a formal development environment and takes away the ad-hoc query approach and adds another layer to maintain.  Any ideas? Thanks

A: On a side note you might want to change
SELECT id,
       my_data,
       pgp_sym_decrypt(cast(my_data as bytea),'apasswordwithsomeentropy')
FROM test
WHERE pgp_sym_decrypt(cast(my_data as bytea),'apasswordwithsomeentropy') = 'avalue114';

into
SELECT id,
       my_data,
       pgp_sym_decrypt(cast(my_data as bytea),'apasswordwithsomeentropy')
FROM test
WHERE pgp_sym_encrypt(cast('avalue114' as bytea),'apasswordwithsomeentropy') = my_data;

This way postgres does not need to decrypt every my_data for your comparison. If pgp_sym_encrypt is deterministic and can be cached(not sure if postgres can handle this), your target data is encrypted once and only matching columns will be decrypted.
We have changed the where condition so plan may change, can you please try and send the new plan?

Acclaimed Welsh harpist Catrin Finch will be bringing her 'Classical Café' – an evening of classical music and sumptuous food – to Abergavenny's renowned restaurant, The Hardwick. Catrin will be joined by four other classical artists including Charlie Lovell-Jones – recently hailed as one of the most promising young violinists in the UK – and Steffan Morris, one of the finest cellists of his generation.
The Eisteddfod will begin at Castle Meadows, attracting around 150,000 visitors to over 250 tradestands and stalls celebrating Wales' performance and art. Join the festivities every day from July 29th – August 6th.
Performances start at 11am on 29 and 30 July and 2,3,4,5 and 6 August at Abergavenny Library and finishes in the Visual Arts area of the Monmouthshire and District National Eisteddfod festival site.

Local artist Catherine Wynne-Paton seeks to highlight the changes being made to our public libraries and questions what kind of libraries we need for future strength.
To coincide with the National Eisteddfod, this exhibition and event will celebrate a key cultural figure of the South Wales borders. Jeff Nuttall (1933-2004) was a prolific and influential poet, artist and jazz man. Best known for his seminal 1968 text Bomb Culture, Nuttall worked tirelessly across sculpture, painting, poetry, performance art and publishing. In this exhibition, Nuttall's poetry and publishing projects – including his seminal publication My Own Mag – will be brought together within a sculptural environment at Broadleaf Books.

I've been meeting with my discipleship group for a couple years now. We've gone through Holiness by JC Ryle, When I Don't Desire God by John Piper, and currently we are working through Romans with the help of the study guide put out by St. Helen's Bishopsgate. We pray together as well as joke around with each other.
During a recent meeting at our local cigar shop, as we were studying, a guy approached our table and asked if we were studying the Bible. As we responded that we were, he was blown away that we would do this here. We invited him to sit in if he'd like. By the end of our meeting he asked if he could regularly join us, which of course we said yes.
This incident reminded me of the importance of discipleship in public. Whether it's in a coffee shop, a restaurant, or even a cigar shop, it's important for us to be living out our faith in the public square; out in the open where people can see. We don't need to ashamed or embarrassed by it, but embrace it. As we do this in pubic, we leave room for God to work in the people who may be around.


Poor Boy, he is so tired of my wedding jibber jabber, as P over at What Possessed Me puts it. And I am sure my long suffering bridesmaids must feel the same. So I thought perhaps I could come here and obsess about weddings without annoying anyone too much.
'Whoopee!' sez I, or words to that effect.
Cue much snogging and declarations of love, which I feel I won't bore you with. There are even pictures (drunken, blurry pictures) which I may or may not upload. Depending on if I can find them.

The best apartment home I have lived in, in my 20 years of renting in Prince George's county Maryland.
Terrific modern apt. Fair rent hikes thus far Good for retirement after selling a home. I recommend io piazza to senior citizens.
Great location and community with well mannered receptionists and staff.
The maintenance team in Windsor Village is excellent.
Great location, professional staff, respectful neighbors.
I've lived here since just after the building was finished. Large kitchen and baths are available. Parking and storage are available. The apartments are quiet, and the elevators don't get too backed up during rush hour. It's easy to get your packages, and easy to recycle your boxes. My only complaint is the low quality appliances, and the building is working to replace washers/dryers now.
Very nice property. So glad I found this hidden gem in studio city. Its priced perfectly for the area. The apartment is bright and big and I love the property and the area. The staff is amazing and the building neighbors are really nice!
Windsor at Meadow Hills is a quiet, clean, private community. All issues that happen to occur are quickly remedied. I definitely recommend Windsor at Meadow Hills to family and friends!
The Monarch is the best place to live, if you wish to be downtown! Best pricing and quality.
I am thinking that this apartment is exellent. and all staff is very kind.
From the minute you walk in for your tour you are made to feel at home. The staff are so welcoming and knowledgeable. The amenities are high quality and this place is super pet friendly. I moved out of state so moving here it was important for me to be in a welcoming community and that it is. I have been here 3 weeks, made friends with neighbors who have given great advice on Houston and the neighborhood which has made my move so much easier. The apartments are high quality and the team here really take care of the communal areas so that when people come by its super clean and polished. I would highly recommend this community to anyone in the area looking for a high quality apartment in an area with a lot going on.
Feel safe and comfortable in our surroundings and having any problems taken care of by the team.
We have just renewed our lease for the fourth year. While the loft space we live in and the extras that come with the location it is the staff that makes the difference. They are professional, courteous, and just plain good at what they do. This includes both the maintenance and the leasing groups.
Very satisfied long-term resident. Great location, well managed and maintained facility that is staffed with well-trained personable and efficient employees. All things considered. a very nice place to live in downtown Bellevue.
I enjoy making vox my home it's been my home for over 6 years and would recommend anyone looking for a a home to make vox your home the management is wonderful and treat the tenant's as if you were at a five star hotel when actually it's home.
Allure is am excellent rental community!! The maintenance crew and office manager are outstanding!! Best decision I made was to rent at Allure!
I absolutely love the community, building and neighborhood. It's a 30 minute ride to work but well worth it!
Great leasing experience! Everyone was welcoming, courteous and friendly, especially Jessica.
While I have only been at Windsor Ridge for a few months, I love it! It is a friendly and expertly run apartment community which I am thrilled to call home!
pleasant place to live, very clean, very green, well maintained, no noise, near by I-75.
Finding a new home can be quite stressful. I was amazed by the excellent customer service provided by Alexandra and her team. She managed to ease my mind regarding the lease process, followed up immediately on all my queries and gave me a sense of joining a great community of people sharing similar values. Although I had several renting options to consider, the decision to join the Windsor community was primarily made due to Alexandra's outstanding service and support provided throughout the entire lease process. Great job making residents feel welcomed and at home!
If you are looking for a well maintained building with attentive staff, the kindest of neighbors, and a full source of amenities, The Marston is your new home.
Living at Windsor Village has been an enjoyable experience. It is convenient to major roads, shopping and many of the area resources. The management, office staff and maintenance are excellent!
Windsor South Lamar is a great place to live! We moved to Austin 3 years ago and thought we would be in the complex for only one year.... three years later were still living her! Friendly and professional management and maintnece team and they always go the extra mile to get issues/ or concerns resolved! Keep up the great work Windsor South Lamar team:) ..... we appreciate it!
The staff was spot on the most courteous I've ever dealt with.
The Windsor at Aviara team is very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Responsiveness is very timely, and their feedback/work is on point. Such a pleasure to do business with, this staff is as much fun as they are effective!
I have been living in rental communities since 1990. This is the 4th community I have lived it and it is by far the best. The team here is lead by Katie Davis and she could not do a better job. I will definitely renew my lease here. I could not be any happier than I am right now.
Amazing location, amenities, and complexes. Something for everyone.
Windsor South Lamar has been a fantastic place to live! Megan gave us a great tour and made the leasing and move-in process as easy as possible. She was a reliable resource over the phone, by email, and in person. Since moving in we got a dog, and he loves playing with his new neighbors in the yard on the side of the property.
Great community to live in. It's the one place where I find myself excited about going home... Your home is like a vacation resort.... Dr. D.
Moving from a different state, the Manhattan is the perfect location to experience everything downtown has to offer.
I have lived at Windsor for 10 years. The office staff is always welcoming. I do not have any problems with neighbors who have moved in and out. The community is always clean and quiet. I would recommend The Ridgewood by Windsor to others.
We are very happy with our choice and your personnel.
Tera has great floor plans and is in one of the most ideal locations for me. 10 minutes away from work and a short walk away from downtown. Very nice finishes and love the carpet in my floor plan.
Excellent place to live. Great ambiance, lake views, location, staff, and friendly neighbors. Enjoyed living amongst educated/professional people. Best kept secret in Doral and worth the extra money.
We've been here for over 5 years now, and we love living here because it feels like home.
Beautiful, safe, and convenient location are high qualities of Terraces at Colorado.
Awesome responsiveness by the team!
This is a modern well maintained complex. The eminences here are excellent and the closeness to all the restaurants on Las Olas is great. All the staff are always there to help and are very friendly.
I moved into the Victor a few months ago and it's been awesome. Having lived in managed buildings for a while, I'm used to things like package service, central air, gym, etc, but the Victor is different. The entire staff - leasing, concierge, maintenance - are super friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. In addition, there are regular building events to bring people together, provide food and drink, and in general create a sense of community and networking which is pretty cool. Add in a basketball court and free yoga twice a week - you can't go wrong at the Victor!
I Iove living here! Management is great , place is clean , pool area and gym really nice and well taken care off. Please is conveniently located for fast commute which is a las plus for the Doral área .
Windsor is one of the best properties in Atlanta.
We have lived here 3+ years. This building is in a great location and has tremendous views. It is located right next to a park along Buffalo Bayou. The community Management Team is great and you get to work with Jennifer and Michelle and they listen to what you say. The Concierge Team is fantastic and they go out of their way to meet your needs and take delivery of packages and cleaning. The workout room is great and they have new equipment, cold towels and it's never crowded. The Maintenance Team does a great job and they generally come by within 24 hours of your portal request to have something fixed. We can't think of a better place to live and we hope to stay here for a long period of time! Thanks, Steve S.
I enjoy being a resident of Windsor at Contee Crossing, all of the staff that I have interacted with have been pleasantly accommodating, professional, and polite.
Great place to live. Clean and friendly place. Safe too.
The Windsor Apartments at Aviara are a well run apartment complex. It is a pleasure to deal with the team managing the complex. They are friendly, helpful, professional, and take care of their tenants. The apartments themselves are well designed and built, and the garages are huge. There is ample parking. They are pet friendly with ample places to walk our pets. I highly recommend Windsor.
The fine people at Terraces at Paseo Colorado make moving in easy, and are welcoming and professional. It is a clean, centrally-located, nice place to live and enjoy Pasadena.
A very well run building with beautiful landscaping and a caring staff.
I love the Domain by Windsor! The staff are great, the property is beautiful and well kept, lots of Amenities definitely will be renewing my lease.
I thoroughly enjoy living at Windsor at Meridian. The neighbors are quiet and always nice. The grounds are always kept clean and the office staff is always friendly! I would 100% recommend Windsor at Meridian to a friend.
In the short time I have lived at Windsor at Mariners I have been very happy with all the personnel and their response to my needs.
The new management has made a profound positive impact.
Very calm and quiet place. The leasing agents are incredible and knowledgeable.
The building and the hallways are kept very clean. Maintanence always responds quickly. The common areas are keep clean and well decorated and maintained.
From day one this had been a wonderful stay/experience. from the office staff to the maintenance staff everyone is helpful and courteous. Apartments are comfortable and well maintained. highly recommend.
Small community in a great location. Many different floor plans and amenities to choose from. Very peaceful here.
We have greatly enjoyed our time at Windsor. The front office staff is wonderful and is the main reason we stay. They are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Maintenance is always prompt and efficient. Our dog loves to say hi to all the staff and they always have treats on hand for him! We met so many wonderful residents and the building community is mostly friendly! Facilities are kept clean and accessible. On the whole, we have had a pleasant time living at Windsor with only the typical complaints that you would have in ALL apartment buildings.
I am a female grad student living alone and safety is really important to me. Platform 14 provides comfortable and secure areas where I can study, read, or just hangout. The gym and sky deck are my favorites! The management team is incredibly welcoming and helpful, I never hesitate to go to them for anything.
Living at Glass House has truly been an outstanding experience. Leasing team always very courteous, the kindest and friendliest door staff, and the most responsive maintenance team I've ever dealt with. The units are truly original in design, layout, and quality. The mere location just enhances the quality of life tremendously with multiple areas of interest within walking distance whether you're catching sports at AAC Arena, shopping at Victory Park, dining in Uptown, or going for a run on the Katy Trail. Its all within a leisurely walk and it certainly makes for a happier, simpler life!
Pinehurst is a great place to call home. Safe environment. Wonderful management team. Very helpful. Clean.
I have lived in this community for 2 years and find it serene, well maintained and very conscientious in terms of management and maintenance concerns. Its been a good experience!
Grounds are well kept, office and maintenance staff friendly and professional. Great place to live.
I have lived at Windsor Domain since July 2017. It has been a great and pleasant experience. The condominium is very good and the people are amazing. I will miss them and this place when I live. Thanks.
I love living here. The building is well kept and beautiful. The pool is beautiful and cleaned every day. The people in the office are very accommodating, which is very important.
The staff at the office is so friendly and informative. The apartments themselves are clean and very well put together . The floor plans are very thought out so there is no wasted space .
Very clean property. Great amenities! Great location!
Best overall structure among the Wilshire properties. The bathrooms are all huge, the gym is better than the competition, and the rooms have a very decent layout. Management seems to have changed in the last year and significantly improved from the older reviews (ex. the gate being broken). The staff is very friendly (thumbs up for PURE). Maintenance team is fantastic and very friendly. Security is also v tight in the Mid-Wilshire area in general versus what you get in WeHo, Downtown, making that the #1 priority for our stay.
I love living here at the Ashley in my beautiful apartment. The doormen and concierges are always so pleasant and efficient and do a wonderful job keeping this building a safe place to live. The amenities are outstanding...I especially enjoy the heated pool. (My grandson also loves the new playroom when he comes to visit!) What a great place to live! I'm very happy here.
I have lived in the Tera appartment since November of 2015. I sold our home and decided to down size. I had not lived in an appartment since the mid 70's so I did not know what to expect. I am happy to say that it has been an outstanding experience. I would recommend this property to anyone.
Overall, this apartment complex is pretty good. The location is ideal and the apartments are up to date.
Have enjoyed living here. It is comfortable and feels safe.
Its a great apartment that offers amenities with last technology, the gym is great, the pool with the palm tree and cabanas make it so relax to enjoy the day and the dog park its big. Its close to pretty much all the restaurants and shopping areas around by less than a mile. Aprtments interiors are modern and nice natural light for the location.
When we first visited Windsor at Mariners we had already seen various apartment buildings of a similar quality with similar amenities......or so we thought. When we arrived at Windsor and took the tour we knew then and there that our search had ended. We had found our new home. Since moving in our home at Windsor at Mariners has not only met our high expectations, it has exceeded them. We are indeed very happy here. From the Gym, to the 2 swimming pools, the kind, friendly staff to the proximity to the city, local restaurants, shopping and of course stunning views from our apartment. Whenever we entertain our friends and family are truly impressed with this wonderful community!
This is a wonderful community! All personnel are caring and very competent.
If your looking for downtown living at an affordable rate,with beautiful views and quite. This is the place.
I've loved it here. Nice Quiet neighborhood loved all of my Neighbors. All of the staff is very friendly and helpful. The apartment is nice and Spacious. Will miss this place, just need to move to Parker because it's closer to work.
Overall I enjoy living at the Windsor at Midtown. Excellent Community Services Office and Custodial Staff. Both are very pleasant and professional.The building is well managed and quiet. Location is great Near Piedmont Park, great restaurants, museum, symphony and shopping.
Love living in this community. Excellent location, excellent apartments, exceptional staff. I would highly recommend The Victor to anyone who is looking to live in the city.
Lovely community and location. The staff and residents are friendly. Secure building with beautiful courtyard spaces. The apartment layouts are very thoughtfully done with excellent use of space and natural lighting.
Great location, great staff, wonderful amenities. Couldn't be happier.
We love The Casey! Great location, friendly staff, clean facilities, awesome service. We couldn't be happier. Lindsey F.
The facility is great and the staff is awesome!
First of all, me and my wife had been looking for an apartment for over 1 month. We went say and night to find the right one. We researched based on reviews, and plans. We had a set budget and reached out to Windsor because they had a different availability of plans, and amenities. Initially, our budget was 30% less than what we planned, but after we met Haley, at Windsor, her service was so exceptional, and professional, that me and my wife told her the night we came to look at the apartments that we would stop our search, because of how amazing she served us, we told her that "This is is" " this may be the last stop we may need to make" She treated us like human beings, and that is a person that doesnt just deserve a raise, but deserves to be recognized. Come see her! You will not regret it!
IO Piazza is a gem in Arlington. Amenities to ease living are successful. Communication system with any staff for information or help is very easy & successful. Population seems to reflect that of Arlington with diversity of people, ages, interests. Pet friendly, truly. Im blessed with inside parking for first time ever! The terrace common area is a gift.
Retreat at the Flatirons is truly a Retreat. The process of moving from out of state was a breeze with the help of management! My Fiancé and I moved sight unseen and we could not be happier with our decision. Our apartment was in perfect condition and we are thoroughly impressed with the community! I would give the Retreat 10 stars if I could! Thank you for everything!
This will be my third year coming up and I enjoy the Boardwalk. Proximity to everything and the grounds are nicely manicured.
I expected to be happy at Windsor At Doral and so far all is very good.
The Ridgewood staff is professional and hard-working. They are a pleasure!
Mirador at Doral is THE PLACE to live. Wonderful neighborhood. Super classy amenities. Clean, Green, Pure Air, few steps from restorans, grocerys, golf, tennis. Pet Friendly. Awesome Staff. We are sooo Happy with our unit! 10000% recommended!
Great place to live. Great community. Love it!
Moment is a great place to live. Apartments and staff are top notch!
Malden stations location is the prime reason we chose this apartment to live in the past 2 years. The amenities are wonderful and everything is taken care of well. The management team when we first started looking at the apartment was so nice and continued calling to give us updates on new pricing arrangements to help us out.
The services, the events for residents, the pet policy and the location with the ferry next door and the beautiful views of the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge make this a wonderful place to live. I love it here !
Windsor at Contee Crossing is the ideal home after I sold my house. The residence and the management are considerate and patient. I could not have chosen a better place to call home.
The location and convenience of this complex is wonderful and it's the best place to live other than my own single family home.
Very nice community with excellent amenities. I LOVE the Peloton bike room. Pool/firepits provide nice outdoor space, year round. This property is a Windsor, which means great resident service and events. Overall very impressed.
Being a single mom I love living here! I feel safe and apartment is great! Love the gym and the pool!
These apartments are in a perfect location to shopping. The grounds are well maintained. The apartments are well insulated limited the noise from neighbors. All of the staff are friendly and respond to concerns quickly. A great place to live.
From my brief four months living at The Jordan, the experience has been outstanding and so glad I made the move to the building. Great service all the way around.
My family and I love living at 5550 Wilshire!!
It has been a great experience living in The Ashley, people that work in the building provide a great service to make us feel at home. They are super nice and they take care of the facilities super clean and neat.
Best apartment complex I have ever lived in. Everything is very well kept, office staff and maintenance are excellent, and the price is affordable.
The complex is kept very clean. I feel safe living here and it is very quiet. The Management (Clair, Brittany) are excellent. I feel comfortable speaking to them of any issues I might have (which I don't).. but they are always available and their doors are always open. They have great personalities and make living here awesome. I always look forward to their smiles and they are both very personable. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. They are both very understanding. They are very professional. This is a great place to live. I would recommend Windsor at Redwood Creek to anyone looking for a great place to live. The Maintenance staff is excellent and takes care of any issues promptly and always has a great attitude.
Windsor on the Lake is the greatest place in Austin to live. I simply love living here!
Windsor offers a luxury apt with all the amenities needed. We feel secure in our apartment and in the parking ramp at any time of the day or night. Location is incredible if you like shopping and food. Close access to major highways make traveling a breeze. Over all this complex is a 10.
Windsor at Meridian is a great place to live! We love the amenities and the location is ideal. Can't wait for the pool to open this summer!
everything you need is here! why go anywhere else!
Wouldn't think of living any where else.
Me and my wife have been living here for year and half. The thing that we like the most is the surrounding environment, fells reservation is just five minute drive away and pine park is just at the corner. Also, all the staff put a lot of thoughts in the gardening, and you will see a lot of trees of different varieties in the community, we really love the cherry blossom. Also, all the staff is quite responsive, responsible and very friendly. Maintenance guys always wear shoe covers while they work at your apt. very professional. The apt itself is very clean (esp the carpet) and comfortable. But to be honestly, sound insulation that good. But I think we are lucky that our apt is pretty quiet, even it's next to the Main Street. It's just 8 mins walk from our apt to orange line. The Italian restaurant in the community is one of the best I've been to. And sandwich from the cafe next door definitely is a recommendation. One more thing, very important for New Englander, this is the only apt complex, as far as I know, has attached underground parking for every building.
The Terraces of the Paseo is an awesome place to live. Its secure, the neighbors are friendly the staff treats you with grandeur and panache. Management, staff and maintenance are terrific, trustworthy and responsible.
Windsor Pinehurst has been a wonderful community for me and I hope to stay for a few more years. The staff and maintenance staff or very friendly and responsive. The premises are state of the art and the monthly events for the residents is nice and an opportunity to meet other residents. The ammenities and great and I am very happy living here. Come visit and see for yourself.
The apartment is in an amazing location, and is a great layout and amenities are awesome and Windsor is an amazing property management company!
After an exhaustive search for the right location, community and living space, my husband and I decided on the Terraces at Paseo Colorado. From the floor plans to the amenities to the easygoing staff, we are so happy with our choice!
Excellent place to reside: Service, amenities, nearness to eateries, park, hospital, big box stores, safe and clean location.
We love Windsor at Glenridge, great location and friendly staff.
You have the best people working for you.
Managing a large residential community is a difficult task, at best. That said, my experience with Tera/Windsor staff has been 99% excellent. I am a seasoned elder resident, and this has become my home.
Overall nice environment and staff.
The safety and cleanliness of the community is emaculent. Family friendly and beautiful. The community involvement and the service at the front desk is spectacular. Pool, Gym and movie theater are AMAZING! If they had a grocery store, youd never leave the complex!
As my first apartment that I'm paying for myself, Windsor at Meridian has given me an amazing experience that I couldn't be happier with. The staff is so friendly and all the amenities are top notch.
I love the community here. The neighbors are quiet, staff is very professional and friendly. I especially love that the building is older because this means the fire alarms aren't constantly going off like the newer buildings. The Luxor is fantastic for picking up packages too!
Excellent location and facilities. Friendly and attentive staff. Easy process from start to finish.
Great Place , Great Staff , Great Residents.
I truly enjoy living here! I feel right at home. The people who live here are so friendly and helpful. I've made many friends in my short time here. We look out for each other! The leasing office management team are wonderful! They are so helpful and kind to me and my family. The maintenance team respond so quickly to my request and always willing to go above and beyond with a smile. The amenities are outstanding, layout of the units, location, community events are just some of the reasons I love living here and wouldn't live anywhere else in Houston. I'm happy to call this home and I will be here for a long time!
The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Beautiful finishes and very well laid out floor plans. Amenities are beautiful, well maintained and easy to book.
Ive only been here for about a month, but I couldnt be happier with my decision to live at Windsor at Aviara. Although I looked at several other communities, I knew after the initial tour this would be the community I would choose. Cole helped me through the whole process from start to finish and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He answered all my phone calls and emails swiftly and made the move in process a breeze. The property is well maintained, its nice and quiet and maintenance requests are taken care of almost immediately. Thank you for everything so far!
Platform 14 is a great place to live! Close to great restaurants, fitness companies, the MAX station... I enjoy the Orenco Station community events during the holidays (ice skating rink, Christmas tree lighting and activities for kids) and the events Platform 14 host for residents, nice touch! I would highly recommend Platform 14 to my friends.
Windsor Lofts @ Universal City is all I expected it to be! I feel very safe and the management team is very personal to the residents. My neighbors are great! No complaints!
Love living at Mirador at Doral. I appreciate how clean it always looks and how maintenance is kept up, and the location of Mirador at Doral is just perfect.
I LOVE living here! It's quiet, secure, and extremely quality-focused. Maintenance requests are handled expediently, and the entire staff is top notch! This is a community that truly cares about the residents.
Seems to be a nice complex. Management is very professional and helpful.
Windsor is a great communtity. Low move in costs with good credit but the trade off is higher rental rates. Community is clean, management responsive, secure and convenient location. Ive lived here 3 years.
These are the best apartments in Austin. The views of downtown are exceptional, and the management team puts the residents first. Maintenance teams are insanely fast and responsive. They don't penny-pinch on making this the best community to live in.
I strongly recommend this apartment complex. Excellent floor plans, amenities, and a great management team who want to make sure residents feel at home. Maintenance requests are resolved quickly in the same day or no longer than 24 hours.Close to everything, shopping, transportation and major highways. In minutes to Cherry Creek Park you' ll enjoy Summer here.
Mission Pointe has been a lovely place to live staff is friendly and responsive. The community is very nice and clean, especially outdoor areas including pools, patios, tennis courts, grills and barbecue / common areas, etc... we love our apartment!
Indoor laundry and spacious living rooms/bedrooms impressed me a lot. The environment is great and peaceful.
Nice,clean,and relaxing place to live !
Great place to live. Friendly neighbors in a quiet area while still being so close to everything! Parking is a bit annoying sometimes but thats with any apartment complex. Would definitely recommend Windsor to a friend.
Luxury living by the sea, it doesn't get better than that! The Sea Castel has it all. Just walk out the beautiful lobby doors, cross Ocean Front Walk and onto the sand. If you don't want the sand and water, then take a right, a short walk and you're on the famous Santa Monica, with all its food and entertainment!
Living here is amazing. The amenities, the quality of my apartment, the safety, and the convenience of the location are the best!
Windsor has created the best apartment living option I have found in Dallas. They have invested in the property and the tenants and I am never unsure of their dedication to a better living situation for all!
Grounds are very well kept.
A warm community with great flat plans and good deals.
My experience at Flair Tower has been terrific. The value received for what I am paying is exceptional. The staff really cares about my contentment in living here.
Great place to live. No safety issues, convenient location & great amenities.
Monarch at Windsor has an amazing staff that makes the entire move-in process and living experience seamless. I am happy that we made the decision to live here.
As always the management and maintenance staff is professional, courteous and friendly. I love living here and the grounds are beautiful and well maintained.
I've lived at Platform 14 for the past 6 years. Staff are friendly, polite and responsive to my requests and concerns. Love the easy access to great restaurants, the Max and bus transportation. All in all, a great place to live!
We have lived in several communities but we would have to say that Windsor at Mariners is clearly at the top of the list!
Great property, everyone from Property Manager, Leasing Agents, and Maintenance Staff have been extremely helpful.
Overall the staff + residents are super friendly! The facility is always well kept, and the maintenance staff is super responsive.
Always helpful and friendly! Maintenance requests are taken care of very quickly.
Free Internet access was the determining factor for decision to lease here.
The Retreat is beautifully landscaped and maintained. Everyone who works here is very friendly. It is safe and secure. Apartments are nice.
We love the community and all it has to offer. We appreciate the leasing office kindness and responsiveness to tenants.
I truly enjoy living at Allure by Windsor. Office staff is friendly and helpful, maintenance crew is knowledgable and responsive, the grounds are impeccably maintained, and I love my apt.
What we like most of this townhome is that it sits in a very safe and quiet community, with ample parking space. We chose a three bedroom one, which occupies two floors and a relatively large front yard, which we like very much. People who lives around seem all hardworking professionals, and are all friendly.
Trianon has an amazing Team! Office and maintenance is great! The pride in a commitment to better living always goes above and beyond for their residents.

Q: Backing up and restoring all databases in MySQL on linux I plan to dump all databases on one computer and restore them on another using the following 2 commands:-
mysqldump -u username -p --all-databases > dump.sql

mysql -u username -p < dump.sql

My query is : will the second command overwrite an existing table with the same name as on the first computer ? Also, will the second command delete all tables which are NOT there on the first computer?
Can someone please clarify?

A: The exact syntax used varies depending on what version of MySQL you are using, but the basic version of mysqldump (without any other options) you are using will run:
CREATE DATABASE /*!32312 IF NOT EXISTS*/ `test` /;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `test1`;
CREATE TABLE `test1` (. . .

You can check this if you are concerned, before running the second statement, simply look in the file dump.sql (it is just a text file) and you can see clearly what queries it will run.
So to answer your questions:

will the second command overwrite an existing table with the same name as on the first computer ?

Yes it will

will the second command delete all tables which are NOT there on the first computer?

No it won't
You can get a full list of the options available from: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysqldump.html#mysqldump-option-summary

There is nothing I enjoy more than the tears of joy on my client's face when they see the beautiful artworks I've created of their beloved animal. I strive to exceed your expectations on every step of the incredible journey we are about to embark upon together.
A friendly house call allows me to discover your artistic vision and get acquainted with "the talent". I'll assess your animal's unique behaviours and motivations, and prepare a customized approach for the on-location session. Lastly, you'll peruse my unique product offerings that complement your taste and décor. The in-home consultation is free of charge.
Your 2-3 hour dynamic photo shoot takes place at the horse facility of your choosing. My gifted handler Angus elicits the perfect poses, while I capture a repertoire of captivating images with my camera. A tethered monitor allows you to offer real-time feedback on your photos to ensure that your finished artworks reflect the vision you shared with me. Horse portrait sessions begin at $450 and include up to two animals.
Back at my studio lounge or at your house, enjoy a slideshow of the most captivating images from your shoot. I'll assist you in selecting portraits that embody the spirit of your animal and decide on sizes and finish options for your final artworks. Utilizing innovative software, you'll even preview life-like renderings of the art adorning the walls of your home.


I can't argue with either of these things. And taken together they remind me of another important challenge. The young founders and entrepreneurs in Scotland today are our best and brightest. The leaders for the next generation. I suspect the same is true for most startup ecosystems. How do we help them grow to realise their potential over a lifetime? The lifetime of a leader that is. Not just of a business or a technology.
I was lucky enough to enjoy a long and somewhat successful career in professional services. Start and up had not then been joined into the same word. Yet in my time (1984-2013) the industry and my firm experienced rapid growth and change.
Throughout learning and personal development were at the core. Central to what was expected and valued in the organisation. As a result I became a different a better person. Better at serving clients. More of a leader. Better balanced and more thoughtful.
Personal development objectives were part of every appraisal. More senior members of the team were always happy to make time to help with achieving these goals. As I progressed into leadership roles I found out why. The objectives of leaders also embraced growing talented people and teams. This applied at every level.
All sorts of behaviour flowed from this culture. Responsibility was given early to allow individuals to learn. But with a supportive mentor to ensure they succeeded. Promotions were denied on occasion. Because hitting the numbers was only part of the story. We also looked at how close each candidate was to realising their potential.
It could lead to unexpected moments of genius. I remember a media campaign we launched about a year before I left. At its core were a series of brilliant cartoons. They were produced by a teenager working in the post room in one of our offices. The marketing team found him. Because he had expressed a desire to develop his artistic talents in his annual review.
You do this by generating more work for others. So that you create space in the business for additional leaders.And by mentoring, coaching and supporting others to do more challenging work. Helping them achieve their leadership potential.
Be generous by bringing all your learning to the next generation. They will learn faster and achieve more as a result. Your goal is for your successors capability and talent to go beyond your own. And so take the business to new heights.
Make sure the business you leave behind has more potential than the one you inherited. Act for the long term growth of the business. Not just to maximise the value today. Or the exit value for current stakeholders. This is essential to build a great, sustainable business. It is also the foundation of fair dealing with employees, customers, investors and the wider world.
My ambition is to lead and mentor with these ideas in mind. We all owe it to the people who are taking the risk. The entrepreneurs of today and tomorrow. Those who will grow into the leaders of our communities for years to come.
This is the best investment in the future anyone can make. Succeed and you will find it is also the best fun you ever have.
