Here Are the 2022 Christmas Shipping Deadlines

Image
Photo : VDB Photos ( Shutterstock ) We have officially entered holiday-shipping-panic season, that period of less than 10 days before Christmas when we suddenly realize how quickly the 25th snuck up on us, once again. If you are strategic, though, your packages can (maybe) still make it to their final destination before the big event. Here are some dates to keep in mind, depending on whether you’re sending the packages out via the USPS, UPS, FedEx, or if you’re ordering online from one of the major retailers. One important thing to keep in mind: Dec. 24 is a Saturday, so not all mail services will be available on that day; if it comes down to delivery “business days” for you to make your deadline, the 24th will not count as one. 2022 holiday shipping deadlines for USPS, UPS, and FedEx If you’re using the post office to send your gifts, these are the deadlines to mark on your calendar so your gifts arrive by Dec. 24: USPS 2022 Holiday Shipping Deadlines Ship by Dec. 17 with Retail...

Not All After-Christmas Sales Start on December 26

Image
Photo : Sampajano_Anizza ( Shutterstock ) Between ongoing product shortages , supply chain issues, and stores left with excess inventory , 2022 has been unpredictable when it comes to retail. So what does that mean for the traditionally deep discounts offered at the end of the year? Here’s what to know about 2022's after-Christmas sales, including when they start. How to get the best deals during after-Christmas sales For some people, the real shopping doesn’t begin until after the gift-giving holidays are over, when inventory may be diminished, but the prices are low. Here’s what to keep in mind when looking for the best deals: Not everything will be discounted While it’s safe to assume that some items—like holiday decorations, or regular products in festive holiday packaging—will be on sale after Christmas, that’s not the case for everything. For example, hold off on buying any fitness/exercise equipment, devices, or clothing until a few weeks into the new year (when pe...

You Can Get Free Stuff From Target for Reviewing Products

Image
Photo : Jonathan Weiss ( Shutterstock ) Many of us rely on customer reviews of products when we’re trying to decide what to buy or choose between similar items from different brands. Hearing from “real people” can feel much more valuable and authentic than believing whatever the professional marketing language is trying to sell you. But what if you could be the person who helps others make these decision—and score some free products for yourself in the process? Target offers two such programs in which it sends free products to participants in exchange for an honest review. Here’s a little about each one. Sampler Samplers is a product-experience platform where subscribers get to try different products from brands that have partnered up with them to send free products for an honest review. Recently, Target has partnered up with Sampler to send Target Insider Boxes to reviewers containing products based on the demographic and answers from the questionnaire that subscribers n...

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
