Agriculture: Holding The Farmer's Hand
Now that the Congress Party has upped the ante on the agrarian distress, BW Businessworld pieces together the farm policies it is likely to adopt should it form the government
by Prabodh Krishna
Ghana's inspirational speaker, Israelmore Ayivor, has some quirky advice for farmers. "It's not a surprising news that manna should fall from heaven in these days," says the author of The Great Handbook of Quotes, "But this manna will fall for those who cultivated manna farms on the clouds above!" In India, though, manna from heaven has sustained farmers for decades, irrespective of what they have sowed, since the days of the "loan melas" of the 1970s.
During the long tenures the Congress Party has had in government, it has primarily tackled farm distress by channelling cheap credit to cultivators. In 2018 the Indian National Congress (INC) posted an article titlted 'No respite from Farm distresses' on its official portal. The article referred to the massive increase in "ground level credit to agriculture and allied activities" during the second term of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government. Credit flow to agriculture shot up then from 9.19 per cent in 2011-12 to 15.75 per cent in 2014-15, before dipping to 8.28 per cent in 2015-16, when the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government was at the helm on Raisina Hill.
Indeed, the Congress Party's strategy for agriculture has oscillated between cheap credit for farmers and loan waivers, taking the non-performing assets (NPAs) of banks from agriculture to abominable heights. In 2002 the overall institutional credit given for agriculture had been Rs 53, 713 crore which jumped four-fold to Rs 2,40,803 crore in 2008-09 (the first term of the UPA).
An RBI bulletin for the period 2004-12 shows the gross NPA ratio in agriculture to be higher than that of the corresponding ratio in the non-agricultural sector during this period, except in 2009 and 2010. In 2011-12 when NPAs in the non-agricultural sector rose by 40 per cent, agricultural NPAs rose by 47 per cent, stoked no doubt by agricultural debt waivers and relief schemes. The statistics may also reflect the new system driven identification of NPAs by the RBI, but is certainly linked to agricultural credit flow between 2006-07 and 2009-10.
"The Private Entrepreneur's Guarantee (PEG) Scheme for Storage Godowns for central pool stocks was also started by them (the UPA)," points out Siraj Hussain, former Secretary in the Union Ministry of Agriculture. "About 15 million tonnes capacity has been built under the scheme. However their crop insurance scheme, MNAIS, was a non- starter due to the very low sum insured for crops," he says. Hussain recalls that a shortage of wheat in the central pool had necessitated imports between 2006-07 and 2007-08. Many others remember the skyrocketing prices of pulses at the fag end of the UPA's tenure. "There were a few remarkable steps taken by the UPA, like the National Food Security Mission, the National Health Mission and then there was a Bundelkhand package …" Hussain points out. Yet the pace at which the agrarian economy's contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP) has grown peaked at a paltry 8.6 per cent in 2010-11, before dipping to an abysmal 1.4 per cent in 2012-13. (Please see chart: Percentage growth of GDP from agriculture).
Shetkari Sangathna (Joshi group) President Anil Ghanwat, therefore, is not just spewing political venom when he says, "During their tenure, Congress (UPA) didn't achieve much. The decades old market intervention policy continued. The ban on cultivation and trials of genetically modified seeds was revived. Agricultural products exports were low and imports of edible oil, onion, raw sugar, pulses broke the backs of Indian farmers. The crop insurance scheme was in a mess!" Naresh Sirohi, Vice President of the BJP Kisan Morcha and a vehement critic of the "populist measures of the Congress" blames the Green Revolution for the deteriorating quality of agricultural produce.
Even Ghanwat though, lauds the UPA for cheap farm loans. "And the recovery from defaulter farmers was not harsh, or held back altogether," recalls the Shetkari Sangathna chief. Cheap farm credit and loan waivers obviously do strike a chord among farmers. "Yes, we will stick to increase in ground level credits to farmers and loan waivers," says Nana Patole, National President of the Congress Kisan Morcha and a frontrunner for a berth in the ministry should the UPA form government at the end of the 2019 polls. "Our manifesto is based on agriculture and we will implement it," he says emphatically. Patole is contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Nagpur.
To emphasise the Congress Party's commitment to the farmer, he points out that the INC's election manifesto pledges a separate budget for agriculture and a special commission on prices for farm produce. Kedar Sirohi, the torch bearer of the 2018 farmers' protests in Madhya Pradesh (MP), is president of the MP State Kisan Congress. He says the Congress would certainly implement farm policies similar to those evident in Congress ruled states like Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, which had pledged to waived loans of debt-ridden cultivators. While farmers in Punjab have already benefited from loan waivers, their counterparts in MP and Rajasthan still await the fulfilment of pre-poll promises.
Obviously, increasing ground level credit and loan waivers will be the overriding strategies for coping with the plight of farmers in a Congress-led coalition. In its earlier avatar, the Congress government in Karnataka had focussed on Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven data collection systems, but such strategies for agriculture are no longer as audible as they were before.
Incidentally, India is today among the world's leading producers of wheat, rice, pulses, sugarcane and cotton. It is the highest producer of milk and the second highest producer of fruits and vegetables. In 2013 India accounted for 25 per cent of the world's pulses production, 22 per cent of its rice production and 13 per cent of its wheat production. Almost 25 per cent of the cotton produced in the world grows in India.
Yet the Indian farmer is often in distress (please see chart: Suicides by farmers). Over the past few decades, the manufacturing and services sectors have increasingly contributed to the growth of the economy, while the agriculture sector's contribution has decreased from more than 50 per cent of the GDP in the 1950s to 15.4 per cent during 2015-16 (at constant prices). It is also an undeniable fact that the agriculture sector employs nearly half the workforce in the country, even as it contributes to merely 17.5 per cent of the GDP.
Even though farm distress has plagued the NDA since it came to power in 2014, the root cause of it has not been farm productivity. Foodgrain production increased by 4.3 per cent between 2010-11 and 2014-15, from 241.6 million metric tonnes (MMTs) to 252 MMTs. During the tenure of the NDA government, grain output shot up by 9.7 per cent, increasing from 252 MMTs in 2014-16 to 276.5 MMTs in 2017-18. The key issues that ignited unrest among farmers were market connectivity and price realisations for agricultural produce, marred ironically, by a series of bountiful harvests.
Farmer agitations for loan waivers have invited pre-electoral promises from politicians. Writing off debts, though, could scarcely be a solution for a blight that stems from the supply chain and market dynamics for farm produce. What India's agrarian economy really needs are market entrepreneurs who could integrate agricultural markets through a robust supply chain system.
So does the manifesto of the grand old party – which may just be able to sit in the saddle if it is able to cobble together credible post-poll alliances – offer a panacea for farm distress? Or are its policies of cheap credit and debt waivers just some wild geese that it has been chasing since the days of the loan melas?

Climate tax on meat and milk results in less greenhouse gases
by University of Gothenburg
A climate tax corresponding to $80/ton CO2eq on meat and milk could reduce greenhouse gas emissions from European agriculture by around seven per cent. If the land made available is used for bioenergy production, the decrease in emissions can be six times greater. This is shown by the researchers Kristina Mohlin, Stefan Wirsenius and Fredrik Hedenus, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, in an article published in the scientific journal Climatic Change.
Kristina Mohlin is a PhD student at the Department of Economics at the University of Gothenburg. She wrote the article together with her research colleagues at Chalmers University of Technology in connection with her degree project at the Department of Energy and Environment.
In the article, the researchers show that reduced meat, milk and egg consumption has two effects: a direct one which means significantly lower emissions of methane and nitrous oxide and an indirect one through land being made available which can be used for bioenergy cultivation.
Food production is a source that cannot be disregarded when considering greenhouse gas emissions – globally it accounts for 20-25 per cent of emissions. However, emissions from food are difficult to tax as the principal emission sources are methane from the stomachs of cows and nitrous oxide from land to which fertiliser has been applied – both these emission sources are technically complicated and very costly to measure. There is also a lack of effective technical solutions to reduce these emissions. On the other hand, changed food habits can have a great impact. If beef is replaced by chicken, emissions decrease by 90 per cent, and if beef is replaced by beans the reduction is 99 per cent.
"A tax on the emissions from food production would normally be preferable. But as this is virtually impossible in practice, and the effects of switching away from meat and milk are so great, we show that it can be far more effective to apply the tax directly to the meat and milk consumption," says Stefan Wirsenius, a researcher in the Department of Energy and Environment at Chalmers.
Beef, which is responsible for the highest emissions per kg of meat, would be taxed higher under the proposal, while chicken and pork would be taxed lower as their emissions are lower.
"Today we have taxes on petrol and a trading scheme for industrial plants and power generation, but no policy instruments at all for food-related greenhouse gas emissions.
This means that we do not pay for the climate costs of our food," says Fredrik Hedenus, another researcher in the Department of Energy and Environment at Chalmers.
A climate tax on meat and milk would probably also mean that land becomes available for the growing of bioenergy crops.
"If the world decides on substantial reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions, land will become a scarce resource, as a lot of land may be needed for bioenergy. Land-efficient food production and consumption will therefore become increasingly important. And beef production requires twenty times more land per kcal than beans," says Hedenus.
A tax equivalent to $80/ton CO2 (far less than half the current petrol taxes in many European countries) would according to the calculations reduce beef consumption by about 15 per cent.
"This tax is not at all a matter of forcing people to become vegetarians but merely moving towards a slightly more climate-smart diet," says Wirsenius.

Peaceful Bones by Samuel Axelrad
Click on cover image to purchase a copy
MWSA Review
Author Samuel Axelrad tells a fascinating story in his book, Peaceful Bones. It's not enough to tell you that his story made it into Ripley's Believe It or Not; you should read the book and learn more about this interesting man's life in Viet Nam.
As a doctor assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division in 1966, Sam Axelrad became the Company Commander for Company A 15th Medical Battalion and witnessed all the horror war can throw at you. He and his troops treated the war wounded and the sick on a daily basis. These patients included not only U.S. military wounded, but also local Vietnamese civilians as well as enemy combatants. One such enemy soldier arrived in his operating room with an arm that had been shot and left untreated in the jungle for days. The arm had become severely infected, and Dr. Axelrad had no choice but to amputate. In the harsh killing environment that was Viet Nam, Dr. Axelrad not only saved the soldier's life but helped him stay at the clinic and trained him to do light duties at the clinic. When it came time to move him back into the local environment, he made sure to find him a job at a civilian clinic.
The book tells this story and goes on to focus on their reunion fifty years later, when Dr. Axelrad returned the bones from the amputated arm to their rightful owner. An interesting read!
MWSA Reviewer: Bob Doerr (April 2018)
Author's Synopsis
The book is based on the true story of Dr. Axelrad's experience as a Vietnam War army surgeon where he finds himself helping not only American soldiers but hundreds of Vietnamese citizens both wounded and ill. Peaceful Bones is about one special patient named Hung Nguyen aka "Charlie" who becomes an unlikely friend on the battlefield. Dr. Axelrad saves Charlie's life, forging a bond that crosses cultural and enemy lines. Their reunion, 46 years after losing touch in 1967, was a moving and inspiring moment that made history around the world. Peaceful Bones is Dr. Axelrad's stories of the war, his life, and the uncanny "coincidences" that brought him and Charlie together twice in one lifetime over several decades and thousands of miles. Dr. Axelrad's son, Chris, and Rabbi Ranon Teller co-authored the memoir.

NY City Scene
A Surge of Violence in Jails Stirs Scrutiny from City
By Matthew Benedetti on February 4, 2020
A committee is looking to find out what's behind wave of incidents in correction facilities
Incidents of slashings and stabbings in city jails surged 10.4 percent last year and physical confrontations between detainees and corrections officers rose sharply to a staggering 37 percent—and the City Council Committee on Criminal Justice is trying to find out why.
On Monday, senior officials from the city's Department of Correction appeared at a hearing before the committee to examine the unsettling statistics cited by Council Member and committee chairman Keith Powers.
According to data provided by the mayor's office, in 2019, overall violence between inmates escalated by 12 percent.
"Over the years that I've been here, the City Council has been increasingly concerned about jail violence and these indications of violence have been steadily increasing and show no sign of abating," said Powers, who represents District 4 in Manhattan.
"This is happening despite the jail population decreasing over these years and has continued to increase despite the new bail reform," he added.
Criminal justice reform advocates from the Jail Action Coalition rallied on the City Hall steps prior to the well- attended hearing.
Corrections Commissioner Cynthia Brann introduced a 14-point plan to deal with the increase in violence. Among the plan's recommendations: training protocols designed to enhance safety through organizational reform measures.
Her plan, however, was met with a series of pointed questions from the five committee members. They seemed unsatisfied with the imprecise and opaque responses from the corrections cohort.
Brann and other corrections officials, including the chief of staff Brenda Cooke and department chief Hazel Jennings, were often unable to furnish statistics on infractions committed by 18 to 21 year old inmates during a hearing that lasted more than two hours and featured a few testy exchanges.
District 30 Council Member Robert Holden, a Queens Democrat, grew visibly frustrated, for example, when he attempted to determine through questioning how violence against officers increased by 37 percent in 2019, despite a decrease in the prisoner population.
"If we have less people incarcerated then why have 1,109 correction officers been assaulted in 2019? Why are these incidents increasing?" he asked Cooke.
"Honestly, we are focused on the harm and risk of harm," said Cooke.
Council Member Holden then inquired about existing punitive measures for inmates found guilty of assaulting an officer as well as the number of re-arrests for such an offense. Specifically, Holden asked about disciplinary action related to incidents of 'splashing' or assaulting an officer with urine or feces.
Chief of the Corrections Department Hazel Jennings described ways that an officer could defend against this offense including the use of splashguards or a shield but offered no further information.
"It is not clear if we have any measures of discipline in place at all," said Holden.
All of the corrections officials who testified emphasized the effective use of de-escalation techniques that have been integrated into training doctrine.
"Despite the overall increase in the total aggregate uses of force, the department has made important progress over the past year," Commissioner Brann said. "From 2018 to 2019, compelling total use of force causing serious injury and use of force with minor injury decreased by nine percent." She also pointed to the installation of 14,000 cameras in city jail facilities as an important safety enhancement.
Department chief Jennings indicated that 20 officers had been discharged for excessive use of force and another 40 officers were disciplined in 2019.
Cooke, the chief of staff of the corrections department, pointed to progress, but also pleaded for patience regarding reforms.
"We have made substantial strides, but it requires an internal organizational shift along with a cultural change," she said. "It's a culture based on respect and tries to minimize situations that require the use of force."
"We are fully engaged," she added. " But it takes time and there are no easy answers or quick fixes."

Q: How to generate range of dates: every day of a given year? I want to iterate all the days in a given year: so it will generate a datetime object for the 1st of January, through all the other days (including Feb 29 - if it exists for that year) to the 31st of December.
How can I do this ?
I was trying this:
from datetime import datetime
start_date = datetime( 2015, 1, 1 )
start_date = startdate + 1

But then realized you can't just add one (one what?) like this- you have to add on a timedelta (of one day) to do this.

A: from datetime import datetime, timedelta

def gen_days( year ):
    start_date=datetime( year, 1, 1 )
    end_date=datetime( year, 12, 31 )
    d=start_date
    dates=[ start_date ]
    while d < end_date:
        d += timedelta(days=1)
        dates.append( d )
    return dates

if __name__=='__main__':
    d=gen_days( 2015 )
    print len(d)
    d2=gen_days( 2016 ) # leap year
    print len(d2)

Sorry - was going to post some non-working code with my question, but I got it working more quickly than I thought (with help from this and others : How to increment the day in datetime? Python)

Another removable parquet "of Series A" for Dalla Riva Sportfloors. Since the first matches of the top italian basketball league 2016/2017, Vanoli Cremona plays on a pavement made in Montebelluna.
A complicated start of season for the Lombardy club that now, though, is normalizing thanks to recent victories.
The sports hall "Mario Radi", actually, was already equipped with a bottom that can be assembled which, however, complained numerous cracks and "false rebounds". Nothing, actually, that would serve to a participant team of the main national basketball championship.
In just two days, the DR brand, has provided for the supply of a new removable wooden floors and its complete customization with dedicated color; after one, another day of waiting to let "rest" the paints, players were able to take full possession of the friend rectangle for training and matches.
A wooden surface of 650 square meters of high quality, Fiba approved and with advanced technical features thanks to the panels that compose, each ready for installation with mattress, substructure and wooden floors in one body, all to shorten the assembly time.
Now we have to wait for the falcon, symbol of Vanoli Cremona, returns to fly high!

Mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy is usually diagnosed by computerised tomography (CT) scan, which is also used for staging, with accuracy and specificity of 57% and 82%, respectively [1]. In surgical staging approximately 18% of patients with a negative CT scan develop metastatic mediastinal disease [2]. However, all lymph nodes may not be detected. In these cases, usually thoracoscopy and anterior mediastinoscopy are used [2]. But all these methods for staging are mainly invasive and would result in high costs [3,4]. However, the positron emission tomography (PET) scan may develop high applicability for staging of metastatic lung cancer with lymph node involvement [5], but it is less frequently used due to high costs [6]. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) was also introduced; the main limitation for this method is the impossibility for airway assessment [7-10].
In this era some studies have reported highest applicability in cases using endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) with high accuracy in false negative CT scan [11-14]. However, there are some controversies about the role of the EBUS (Figures 1 and 2) versus spiral chest CT scan (Figures 3 and 4) to differentiate between infiltrated and none-infiltrated lymph nodes.
Hence, for improvement in diagnostic approaches, the purpose in this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of endobronchial ultrasound and spiral chest CT scan in the prediction of infiltrating and non-infiltrating lymph nodes in patients undergoing endobronchial ultrasound.
In this observational prospective study, 40 consecutive patients with infiltrating and non-infiltrating lymph nodes in Masih-Daneshvari Hospital, Tehran, Iran in 2017 and 2018, who had positive pathology results by biopsy or EBUS but with non-diagnostic spiral chest CT scan, were enrolled. The exclusion criterion was incomplete data.
The study was approved by the local Ethical Committee. Data were collected by existing medical documents and checklist among understudy patients. Also, the pathological findings including benign and malignant status were recorded in the patients. The size and location of the lymph nodes were also determined.
Data analysis was done with SPSS software (Version 25.0), and mean plus standard deviation were calculated for numerical variables, and the frequency and percentage were reported for categorical factors. Kappa test was used to determine the congruence, and the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy was calculated. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
The patient's age was under 50 years in 17 cases (42.5%). The gender was male in 15 patients (37.5%). The CT scan results were positive in 33 patients (82.5%), and the EBUS was positive in 35 cases (87.5%). According to the pathological results, 31 cases (77.5%) were benign. The mean lymph node size was 10.7 mm in CT and 11 mm in EBUS without difference between benign or malignant lesions (p > 0.05). Also, the total range was from 6 to 25 mm.
The results in this study (Table 1) show that the congruence between EBUS and CT scan was 80.5% (p = 0.0001). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for CT scan was 100%, 22.6%, and 40%, respectively (Table 2) and the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for EBUS was 100%, 16.1%, and 35%, respectively (Table 3).
The congruence did not differ according to age, and patients younger and older than 50 years had good congruence between EBUS and CT scan. Also, the congruence did not differ according to gender, and both male and female patients had good congruence between EBUS and CT scan. The congruence was good in benign cases (p = 0.0001), but it was not determined according to the location, malignancy, and stage of the malignancy (p > 0.05).
The main utilised method to diagnose mediastinal lymphadenopathy is CT scan, but it would show low accuracy. The highest applicability point is related to EBUS. However, there are some controversies. Because CT scan is a non-invasive method, in this study the accuracy of EBUS and spiral CT scan was assessed. The congruence of methods was 80.5% and significant. The sensitivity for methods was 100% and the specificity was near to 20% with accuracy rate of 35 to 40%. Age and gender subgroups both had good equal concordances. The congruence was higher in benign lesions. It is not clear in malignant lesions. Also, the location and stage effects were impossible to determine. Udoji et al. [15] reported that lymph nodes had larger size in EBUS versus CT scan assessment. In our study, despite a lack of difference between benign and malignant lesions, it was larger in EBUS evaluation.
Helmy et al. [16] assessed 11 patients who were suspected of having lymph node malignancy without CT scan positive results. The malignancy was reported in 54.4% of cases under bronchoscopy, 18.2% under EBUS-TBNA, and 27.3% under CT-guided biopsy. From 11 cases with negative CT scan the EBUS was positive in four patients [16]. In our study the malignancy rate was lower, but similarly EBUS had good applicability.
Nakajima et al. [17] showed that among 106 patients with metastatic lung cancer the sensitivity and specificity were 92% and 100%, respectively. Their sensitivity and specificity were lower and higher than ours, respectively. Memoli et al. [18] reported malignancy in lymph nodes in 22.5% of cases and reported good diagnostic applicability for both CT scan and EBUS method as well as our study.
Jhun et al. [19] reported sensitivity and specificity of 92% and 99%, respectively, for EBUS, which was related to lymph node location. However, in our study, due to the small number of hilar samples, a comparison was impossible. Lee et al. [20] assessed 247 patients with hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy and reported that older age and pathological results were related to higher false negative rates. In our study the benign status had some effects on congruence between methods, but there was no difference for age.
According to the obtained results it may be concluded that CT scan and EBUS results have good congruence and high sensitivity to differentiate infiltrating and non-infiltrating lymph nodes. Hence, these methods are useful for screening methods, but due to their low specificity and accuracy their use for a confirmative approach is not beneficial. However, regarding its accessibility and less invasive nature, the use of chest CT scan is more rational and is recommended in these patients. However further studies with larger sample sizes and controlling for confounding factors would develop more definite results.

Bloomberg reconsidering running for President.
Now there would be a 'Man For All Seasons' and a Man For All Reasons, one that would appeal to enough on both sides to get the numbers.
I hope he blows a billion showing everyone how big of a fool he really is.
The GOP base (I assume he'd run as Republican?) would hate him. He's liberal by GOP standards; he's also a technician rather then a culture warrior.
At this point he would be a savior compared to the liar, the socialist, the racist bigot, and the blowhard with no plan.
He is a rabid anti.
Bloomberg is a megalomaniacal racist who will be repugnant to constitutionalists, particularly supporters of the Second Amendment.
Bloomberg declared that minorities should not be allowed to possess firearms, a stance that is profoundly un-American.
"Mayor Bloomberg's statement that black males should not be allowed to have guns echos similar sentiments made by southern white supremacists in the 19th century," Tom King, the association's president, said in a statement. "So called 'Black Codes' were enacted by various southern states to discriminate against black Americans and maintain the system of white supremacy that made slavery possible. These included restrictions on firearms possession.
Is he really popular outside of NYC?
A question for those more in-tune with the primaries that are around the corner. A lot of these contests happen the first week of march, is there really any shot of getting on the early ballots, or is this a bloomberg big gulp-type dream?
He's not even popular in NYC.
Not by republican standards...he's a liberal, period.
Popular enough to get elected, what 3 times?
Bloomberg had to spend record amounts of money to win those elections, and had to break his own spending record in order to be re-elected. Overall, he spent over 250M of his OWN money getting elected those three times.
I agree with what he you think he is. Most likely(imo), he sees how Trump has been able to essentially run a campaign, and wants to try to do the same thing. I don't think he's got an anthill of a chance, but that's me.
He would probably switch parties again back to independent which is what he ran as during his first term. Towards the end of his term people were ready for him to go. Ask around and many people would wish he was back in office as opposed to the do nothing progressive that changed his name so it sounded more new yorkish.
Bloomberg is the quint ultimate gun grabber. The 2nd Amendment folks would hit the polls in piles & droves to vote against this dweeb. Any Bloomberg run would be there to split votes. As much as I loath Trump, the maned Mussolini, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat, over Bloomberg, who'd be a Hebrew Hitler.
He's running Indy. President Trump thanks him.

Q: Multi-tenant web service in WSO2 Data Services? I want to build a web service where not every user can see all data. Therefor I need to store data in a multi-tenant fashion.
Quick example: Car dealers.

dealer

*

*ID

*name

*username

  car

*

*ID

*name

*dealer_id (owned by)

Now the dealer calls the get_my_cars web service with his user credentials and should only see the cars that are owned by him. Something like:
SELECT car.id, car.name
FROM car
JOIN dealer ON car.dealer_id = dealer.id
WHERE dealer.username = %CURRENT_WEBSERVICE_USER%

But how do I get the %CURRENT_WEBSERVICE_USER% variable into the MySQL query? Or am I doing something horribly wrong here? How else would you filter data so everyone can only see his own data?
Thanks for your replies!

A: Your usecase is not a multitenant usecase. What you need is to write a webservice(dataservice) and  secure it with usernametoken/basicauth.

Argentina asks Bermuda for tax information
Argentina has sent requests for information to tax authorities in the Virgin Islands, Uruguay and Bermuda, according to a Reuters report, reports Bernews.
This comes as Argentina wants HSBC Holdings Plc to repatriate some US$3.5 billion that it says the bank's Argentine branch moved offshore to help clients evade taxes and move capital abroad, the country's tax chief Dr Ricardo Echegaray said.
Sky News reports that, "The country's tax authorities issued the request weeks after the Central Bank of Argentina temporarily suspended HSBC Bank Argentina's operations of transferring money and assets abroad for a period of 30 days.
"That action followed Argentina's decision last year to charge HSBC with aiding more than 4,000 clients to evade taxes by shifting assets offshore. HSBC Argentina denied the claim – insisting it respected Argentine law."
A statement released by the bank said: "HSBC has been cooperating fully with Argentine regulators, including AFIP [the tax authority] and the judiciary, since allegations were first made public last year, and we will continue to do so."
Bermuda has a number of Tax Information Exchange Agreements [TIEA] with nations around the world, including one with Argentina, which was signed in 2011.
Speaking back in 2011, Ms Cox said, "The Argentine Republic is a crucial market particularly for our reinsurance industry.
"This treaty relationship enhances the dealings between the two countries. In fact this morning Dr. Ricardo Echegaray and I had the chance to chat about matters of mutual interest.
"Our TIEA with Mexico has recently come into force and today's TIEA with Argentina is also communicating the message that Bermuda recognises the value of opening trade relationships with the Latin American market.
"We are also communicating that diversification of the economy is not just about diversification of industries but of diversifying our strategic linkages and economic partnerships."


We feel pretty dang lucky when it comes to the partnerships and friends we meet along this health and nutrition journey! We couldn't feel more grateful to get to know Catherine McCord and her team at Weelicious. Today we are asking her three questions about her tips for healthy eating as we ramp up for our last round of Kids Rule, 2014.
We know getting your children to eat healthy is a top priority for you. Is this something you were always passionate about or did something or someone spark this passion for you?
My husband, Jon, and I have always been healthy eaters. We started buying most of our food at our local farmers market years before our kids were born, so it was a natural progression once the kids started eating solids.
Looking at all your videos and site, it seems like your family is always making healthy eating fun. Do you have 3 practical tips for getting the kids involved, or making meals more fun?
Let kids add one thing to every recipe even if it's just sprinkling cinnamon of oatmeal in the morning.
Start a garden even if it's one tiny basil plant. Let your child nurture and watch it grow and then make a recipe with it.
Play fun games, even with your kids. We play the machine game taking turns to get each other to guess different machines for example. You want to take the pressure and focus off of the food on occasion and just have fun. I've watched my kids eat things that might normally become an issue based on them being engaged talking, playing the game and eating what they're bodies are craving most.
If you had to pick a handful of items that you prep in advance to make your weeks easier, what would they be?
Every Sunday I make a big batch of roasted veggies (butternut squash, onions and carrots are favorites), grilled chicken breasts, brown rice and often sautéed greens. It's easy to mix and match the items and have nutritious cooked food on hand to make better choices.
Thanks Catherine and Weelicious! We are thrilled to kick off our final run of Kids Rule for 2014. Grab your spot today and don't forget to use use [kidsrule20] for 20% off the program!

I have all my pro pics back and a bunch of coupons for free photobooks at Shutterfly, so the plan is to make a photobook for each set of parents. The only problem is, I don't know where to start! Including the family shots is obvious enough, but what else should go in there? How many pictures of things like the wedding party or the little details should I be adding? Those of you who are making your own albums, how did you go about choosing the photos for them?
I plan to do the same thing. our photographer started our album, so I figured I would probably have a lot of similar pictures to tell the story of the day, but just more of one family shoots than others.
I made mine on costco's website. Mine are 30 pages each. So I did a page or two of each of us getting ready, 6 pages of ceremony, 8 pages of photo locations and 12 pages of reception. Each of them are slightly different, geared to the family shots and different people at the reception.
We let our parents pick out the pics for their books. In was in our photography contract that they each get 30 image parent books (each set of parents could pick their own 30 pics, the books didn't have to be the same). They submitted their choices to the photographer, so I don't even know what they picked until the books arrive.
Can you ask them what pics they'd like to have in their books? If not, I agree with Mana. DH and I had a similar list so that we could narrow down our 1300+ pics down to 80 for our book.

Fellow actress slams Lori Loughlin's prison release as racially unfair: 'Hmmmm…oh to be white, blond, and privileged!'
W.E. Thompson Jr. December 30, 2020
Some of us are old enough to remember the '70s cop show "Baretta," whose theme song was sung by Sammy Davis Jr. The song featured the line, "Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time."
But if you do the crime and then do the time, then our society considers its debt repaid. That's how it's supposed to work.
In the case of the actress Lori Loughlin, convicted this year in the so-called college admission scandal, the fact that she recently completed her sentence was not good enough for some people.
Loughlin was sentenced to two months in prison in August. She arranged a plea deal after she and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, admitted to doling out $500,000 to secure their daughters' spots in the Universty of Southern California. Loughlin also received a $150,000 fine and was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and spend two years on supervised release.
The actress and self-proclaimed activist Janet Hubert, who had starred on "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air," tweeted, "So when white actresses commit crimes they get new shows, pilots, etc. Lori Loughlin …I assume, will get an Emmy for her time in prison. Hmmmm…oh to be white, blond, and privileged! No thanks I would rather be bold, black, and dignified! #onlyinamerikka."

No thanks I would rather be bold, black, and dignified!#onlyinamerikkka pic.twitter.com/TW52HIWhVz
— Janet Hubert (@OGJanetHubert) December 28, 2020
But Hubert wasn't done. She tweeted, "There is a black woman that is serving 5 years for just using a different address to put her child in a better school. Those who are coming angry for my tweet…I will meet you at the door."
That referred to Tanya McDowell, a 33-year-old allegedly homeless woman from Bridgeport, Conn., who according to Fox News was convicted in 2011 of larceny and conspiracy to commit larceny after faking an address to get her then-6-year-old son into a better school in Norwalk, Conn. Prosecutors based the larceny charge on the nearly $16,000 is cost for the Norwalk school to educate her son.
Aside from the fact that Loughlin was prosecuted in federal court while the case Hubert referenced was rooted in Connecticut state law, Norwalk officials pointed out at the time that McDowell had ben previously arrested on drug charges and spent 18 months in prison for robbery and weapons offenses. Moreover, she never produced evidence to city authorities that she was homeless.
Not exactly apples to apples.
Still, critics of Loughlin and others snared in the feds' probe of the college admissions scandal noted there was a class issue. They argued it was unfair to argue against affirmative action for minorities while white were paying big bucks scamming college officials to get their kids into elite schools.
Hubert noted this as well.
In a third tweet, she said, "There are many white parents who are pissed as well. College is expensive and hard to get in. We have to start really pushing back. College should be free anyway."
As Milton Freidman once observed, there is no such thing as a free lunch. "Free" college wouldn't be free either.
