It was a great fight even though I have to overlook the rather sloppy wirework they did up in the air where it was obvious Dean/Michael and Lucifer were supported in harnesses. Seeing Dean enter the scene all glowy and angel-winged was a fangirl delight that was surely GIF’d as soon as it appeared on TV screens. This leads to a pretty great clash of the titans. In season 13 we pick that storyline back up, when a broken Apocalypse Michael and Dean make a deal. After season five, we didn’t get nearly as much of that “destined to be vessels” stuff, because Lucifer was killed off (or so we thought) and Michael was trapped forever in the Pit (or … well you get the idea). Back in season five, Zachariah broke the news that Dean would be Michael’s vessel – the Michael Sword – while Sam was destined to be Lucifer’s meat suit. ![]() The finale made a big callback to a major story arc that was built up and dropped quicker than Adam into the Pit (too soon?). He siphons his kid before the big ending battle. ![]() Of course, Lucifer never really wanted Jack – he wanted his power. When Lucifer is revealed to be the manipulator he has always been, Jack loses all interest in connecting with his old man. It is Jack’s human side that, in the end, makes all the difference. “Like Star Wars?” He offered him a lightsaber… temptation, much? This is when Jack is most vulnerable, so Lucifer has a prime opportunity to corrupt his son. So of course his neglectful Dad shows up to offer him toys and sweet vacations. Maybe he still has the potential for evil. As he hits himself in the woods, you get the feeling again that maybe Jack will go over the deep end. Jack is immediately shamed by his tendency to lash out. It leads Jack to confront and hurt the wrong person. The murder distracts us from Michael’s impending arrival. This easily could have been the first act of any middle-of-the-road-episode. Then we have our typical inciting incident – a body is discovered, and it’s one of the Apocalypse Worlders. Political jokes aside, it at least serves to update these newcomers. Sam coaches the inhabitants of Apocalypse World on current events, glossing over how The Shape of Water won best picture and the President is a reality star. The beginning of the episode is at a slower pace, feeling like a regular episode. It makes me wonder if this intro was compiled before it was clear the Wayward Sisters spinoff was axed. With a long run like this show has, the avid viewer is rewarded with references to the past and old characters and once-forgotten storylines being brought back front and center.įor the montage of intro sequences, they added a lot of Scooby-Doo, which had no bearing on the season story arc, and shots of the Wayward Sisters. The beginning recap intro started with a Dean voiceover, which basically sounded like “If you haven’t been watching this show religiously up to this point, you’re about to be real confused.” And it’s true. ![]() What a doozy! There’s a lot to unpack about the ending of Supernatural Season 13 so lets start from the beginning. I haven’t been that tense during an episode of Supernatural in a while.

![]() I've looked for multi-DBMS alternatives to DBeaver but couldn't find any that looks convincing. We will also explore some features that can boost your work efficiency dramatically. Unfortunately DBeaver seems to be based on Java and is limited to JDBC which doesn't seem to be maintained anymore so it can't use the current Postgres authentication scheme. These tips will solve the problems you may have when you first start with DBeaver. To make you love it even more, in this post we will introduce some tips that are not straightforward to discover for beginners. If you have been using other database management tools, it is well worth trying DBeaver. It supports code completion, code formatting, syntax highlighting, and other abundant handy features as will be introduced later. The enterprise edition, on the other hand, also supports NoSQL databases.ĭBeaver is very user-friendly and is very easy to get started with. The community edition supports all kinds of relational databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc. DBeaver has both a community edition (CE) which is free and open-source and a commercial enterprise edition (EE). We will talk about them in our future articles.DBeaver is a universal database administration tool that can be used to manage all kinds of relational and NoSQL databases. Louis also uses other data transfer features for his work and hobbies. If necessary in the future he can change the data format or the number of characters in the cells using the Properties tab. ![]() Now he can update it with new TV series for his site through the app interface. ![]() Thanks to DBeaver, Louis quickly added a new table with data to an existing database. In this case, you can check the box “Disable referential integrity checks during the transfer”. This is related to the fact that the foreign keys of the first table point to the primary keys of the not-existing-yet-second table. If you sequentially load two tables linked by keys, you might run into some problems. Thanks to the default settings selected in the next wizard’s step, the table will open after the download is complete and our hero will see the results of the import. After seeing that everything is correct, Louis can now move on to the next step.ĭepending on your needs, you can import one or several tables at once. To make sure that all the data will be loaded in the right way, he needs to click the “Preview data” button. To do this, he just needs to select a column and click the DEL button. He can create it now by clicking on the NEW button and entering the desired name.Īlso at this step, our hero can exclude unnecessary columns from the import. Louis has a file with all the necessary data, however, there is still no suitable table in the database yet. The Community version only works with the CSV format. Using the wizard window that opens, he can upload his XLSX file from his hard drive.ĭBeaver PRO supports the import of files in CSV, XLSL and XML formats. To quickly load only the data that he needs for the site, he can use DBeaver’s data import feature.įirst, Louis needs to right-click on the connection in the navigation tree and select “Import data”. His file already contains all the necessary columns but our hero does not want to transfer some of them to the database as they were created for his personal use and are not relevant to the site visitors. Louis collected information about the TV series in an excel format before he started working with DBeaver. Is it possible to import data from it without wasting much time? Yes, it’s quite simple, and today we will tell you how Louis has solved this issue. The problem is that our friend Louis stores all the information about the series in an XLSX format. ![]() Louis knows that some actors star in both films and TV series, and it’s convenient for him to add a new table to an existing catalog. Louis realized one day that it was not only he but also his readers who were interested in information about popular TV series. He has a website where he regularly publishes information about films, and he stores all the necessary data in a database. Our readers are already familiar with Louis, who not only uses DBeaver for his work but also uses it for his favorite hobby. ![]() Part of the way to achieve this is to deliver the flattest supply chain, and that means getting sellers as close to Chinese factories as possible.

One popular Chinese e-learning website has dozens of courses covering every selling on Amazon topic imaginable at prices ranging from $5 to $100. There is also no shortage of online marketers selling this dream. When you combine this with China's rich manufacturing background, it's no wonder the dream of ‘selling on Amazon' is huge. The two largest sites in China, JD.com and have, respectively, $67 billion and $40 billion in revenue (which, when combined, is over 40% more than Amazon's revenue). There are arguably a few other countries as comfortable with ecommerce as China. Let's examine why love affair exists and also how many Chinese sellers there are. Let's start off with a love triangle: Amazon is in love with Chinese entrepreneurs, Chinese entrepreneurs are in love with Amazon, and the Chinese government is in love with Amazon. In 2020 they started revealing every seller's address information so all you need to do is to click a Third Party Seller's name and it will bring up that Seller's address. How Do You Identify a Chinese Seller on Amazon?Īmazon has made it very easy to see just who is a Chinese seller. So by doing some simple math, there are likely close to a million Chinese third-party sellers on Amazon. It's also estimated that there are 1,500,000 active sellers on Amazon. Sellers from the United States by comparison make up just 34.8% of all third-party sellers. How Many Chinese Amazon Sellers Are There?Īccording to our last research (see our related article Amazon Third Party Seller Breakdown by Country) over 63% of third-party sellers are from either mainland China or Hong Kong. Related Podcast: Episode 178 – How Chinese Sellers Are Manipulating Amazon and Outsmarting You We'll also re-explore some of the old tricks they've been using for some time now. In this article, we'll look at how many Chinese sellers there are more closely and the tactics being used by Chinese Amazon sellers in 2022 to manipulate the platform. In fact, by our own research, Chinese sellers make up over 63% of all third-party sellers on Amazon. Representatives for Markey didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.Selling on Amazon is HUGE in China. CNBC previously found examples of third-party sellers exploiting fears about the virus by incorrectly marketing face masks with specific keywords such as "coronavirus face mask" or "N95 face mask," referring to a specific type of respirator that keeps out small airborne particles. Last week, Amazon said it blocked or removed more than 1 million products that made suspect or misleading claims about the coronavirus. "We have also instituted additional manual audits of products in our stores due to the increased risk of price gouging from unscrupulous sellers seeking to evade our automated systems and take advantage of customers," Huseman wrote. Amazon is now deploying "an additional dedicated team" that's working "24 hours, seven days a week" to spot price gouging on items like protective masks and hand sanitizers, Huseman said. The company uses machine learning models, in part, to detect price gouging, but has recently stepped up human monitoring as price gouging has spread in light of the coronavirus. Huseman also provided details around how Amazon detects price gouging, saying the company continuously compares prices submitted by sellers with current and historic prices within and outside of Amazon. For example, before Amazon ran out of stock, N95 face masks were priced at $13.28, but CNBC found examples of face masks being sold for as much as $195. Sellers inflated prices for hazmat suits, face masks and hand sanitizer, among other products. ![]() The letter comes after CNBC previously reported Amazon, Walmart and other e-commerce companies have struggled to curb third-party sellers who are overcharging for products that have spiked in demand amid the spread of the coronavirus. Huseman said Amazon is working with state attorneys general to prosecute bad actors. ![]() marketplace for violating its price-gouging policies. Brian Huseman, Amazon's vice president of public policy, said in the company's response to Markey that Amazon is "proactively monitoring" the marketplace for unfair prices and "aggressively" enforcing its fair pricing policy "in order to protect our customers."Īmazon says it has removed 530,000 offers from the marketplace for coronavirus-based price gouging and suspended more than 2,500 seller accounts in its U.S.
![]() With a few exceptions ( 18), most music scholars suggest there are few if any universals in music ( 19– 23). Yet claims that it is universal or has universal features are commonly made without citation (e.g., ( 15– 17)), and those with the greatest expertise on the topic are skeptical. Music certainly is widespread ( 10– 12), ancient ( 13), and appealing to almost everyone ( 14).

Artwork for The Lovely Eggs with Iggy Pop single I, Moron by artist Casey Raymond (Image: Press) The band’s ethos has always been to do things their own way – booking their own gig venues, keeping overheads down and even posting out their own albums and merchandise to fans, all to ensure their survival as a band. It has also gone to top of the official physical singles and the official vinyl singles charts. We didn’t want to let them down, so we put it out anyway. The result was pretty mind blowing and that’s the best thing probably I could say about the last 18 months.”Īnother highlight has been the release of their new single “ I, Moron”, featuring godfather of punk Iggy Pop, who regularly plays their songs on his BBC Radio 6 Music show. “But we couldn’t put it back – we had told all our fans it was coming out. “It was the worst time to release anything,” Holly says. It also took top spot in the UK vinyl charts, as well as the UK Independent Album Breakers Chart. It went straight to Number One in the UK Independent Album Charts. Then the realisation hit that they would have to put out their new album I am Moron, the follow up to their critically acclaimed This is Eggland, in the first week of the first national lockdown. How could we do that? We’ve spent our entire lives dedicated to this bollocks.”Īt first, the psychedelic-punk group felt “pure disbelief” that festivals were being cancelled and decided to put back their tour, which was due to start last April, by a couple of weeks. “Then they were saying that ‘in the arts you’ve got to retrain’.

Many up-and-coming bands know that feeling, but how many of them are able to exude such a spirit of optimism right now is another question. But it’s just another standard day for the Lovely Eggs,” she says with a laugh. “We’ve just finished releasing our single with Iggy Pop, but before that our little lad was ill, so he was off school. Then we found out we could go on tour and we were like: ‘Shit, it’s happening’. So we’ve been trying to organise it all, organise merch, scramble together some T-shirts.
