Blossoming, bright, beautiful flowers define spring. A great thing about getting married this time of year is that blossoms are less expensive and easier to find. You have your pick of pretty much any color of the rainbow to choose from for your wedding color palette. There's never a "wrong" color for any wedding color palette, but colorful spring flowers can definitely inspire the perfect color scheme for your big day.
Bold and beautiful, the gerbera daisy catches attention. It's not for brides that want a sweet, subtle look. It's more for the bride who wants to wow guests with her gorgeous flowers. This daisy comes in almost 350 shades. From dark pink and classic white to crazy yellow and glowing orange, bouquets made of gerbera daisies are scene stealing. It's easy to decorate tables and even the cake with gerbera daisies for a fresh, bright touch. You can also pick just a few of the shades and create a palette of your own.
The peony is for the classic bride that wants lush colors with a peaceful feeling. Peonies are soft and fresh, perfect for the pastel palette. They easily pair with other light flowers for a traditional touch. Light pinks, creams, and peaches are great for a spring wedding palette when it comes to the peony. Peonies are larger flowers, so if pairing with other flowers for a burst of color, think about size so they complement instead of overwhelm.
The tulip demands a look of class and luxury. Tulips are perfect for any wedding from a formal affair to a rustic look. The classic flower has a long stem with a pop of color at the top. You can go with almost any palette when using tulips. The soft pinks and purples mix together for a flawless fit, as do the whites and deep reds. The tulip is great for a bold or a soft palette.
The calla lily is simply gorgeous made with many colors for any palette. The blossoms are shaped like trumpets. They are usually offered with either a large head and long stem or in a miniature version for boutonnieres and smaller decorations. These extravagant, classy flowers are offered in bold as well as light colors. You can pair dark burgundy with ivory or light pink with yellow.
The hyacinth is perfect for a spring wedding, as it comes in many different colors and is perfect for decoration. It is classically the signature fragrance for spring. You can do clusters of these flowers in different colors, or sprinkle them as an accent. Fuchsia and white or pale pink and blue looks amazing at a spring wedding. These flowers are bushy and might overwhelm other types of flowers put with them.
Roses are perfect year round. The rose is a classic, timeless, gorgeous flower made in many different colors. A symbol of love and beauty, the rose palette can come together in many different ways for spring. The classic red rose paired with cream or white roses is a bolder look for spring, while the yellow rose and pale pink rose come together for amazing decorations or bouquets for a sweet spring look. Roses don't need a lot of filler, so they are perfect alone in one color or different colors. The wedding cake can also adorn a few of the roses for a beautiful touch.
The lilac is a delicate flower that comes predominantly in a lavender color, perfect for a wedding with light purple hues. This soft flower can inspire a palette of lavender and cream or a touch of light pink. Lilacs are often available in white, so it works well to mix the white and lavender flowers for decoration and in bouquets. This flower is sweet smelling, so be careful not to overwhelm the guests with too much of its perfume.
The bright yellow sunflower demands attention for its unique beauty. The yellow can be combined with many different colors for the perfect spring palette. It goes great with bolder colors like royal blue and deep magenta. This flower is also found at many weddings with pale colors and deep browns for a rustic feel. Sunflowers bring sunshine to any room and brighten up any decor. They are perfect for a bright, fun palette of colors.
The ranunculus flower is a mouthful to say, but a cute little flower full of color. This flower is a lot like a peony with a cutting edge. The best thing about them is they come in many different colors ranging from whites, pale pinks, and yellows to dark pink, greens, and oranges. You can make a palette of bright ranunculus flowers or go with a more subtle look. It has many petals for a posh look and is easily paired with other types of flowers in a bouquet or decoration.

class <tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">IOTerm</tt><big>(</big>cin=None, cout=None, cerr=None<big>)</big>¶

Term holds the file or file-like objects for handling I/O operations.

These are normally just sys.stdin, sys.stdout and sys.stderr but for
Windows they can can replaced to allow editing the strings before they are
displayed.

<tt class="descname">__init__</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

<tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal">LSString</tt>¶

class <tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">LSString</tt>¶

Bases: <tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal">str</tt>

String derivative with a special access attributes.

These are normal strings, but with the special attributes:

.l (or .list) : value as list (split on newlines).
.n (or .nlstr): original value (the string itself).
.s (or .spstr): value as whitespace-separated string.
.p (or .paths): list of path objects

Any values which require transformations are computed only once and
cached.

Such strings are very useful to efficiently interact with the shell, which
typically only understands whitespace-separated options for commands.

class <tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">SList</tt>¶

Bases: <tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal">list</tt>

List derivative with a special access attributes.

These are normal lists, but with the special attributes:

.l (or .list) : value as list (the list itself).
.n (or .nlstr): value as a string, joined on newlines.
.s (or .spstr): value as a string, joined on spaces.

Any values which require transformations are computed only once and
cached.

<tt class="descname">__init__</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

<tt class="descname">fields</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Collect whitespace-separated fields from string list

Allows quick awk-like usage of string lists.

Example data (in var a, created by ‘a = !ls -l’)::

<col class="option" />
<col class="description" />

-r<var>wxrwxrwx</var>
1 ville None      18 Dec 14  2006 ChangeLog

drwxrwxrwx+ 6 ville None       0 Oct 24 18:05 IPython

a.fields(0) is [‘-rwxrwxrwx’, ‘drwxrwxrwx+’]
a.fields(1,0) is [‘1 -rwxrwxrwx’, ‘6 drwxrwxrwx+’]
(note the joining by space).
a.fields(-1) is [‘ChangeLog’, ‘IPython’]

IndexErrors are ignored.

Without args, fields() just split()’s the strings.

<tt class="descname">get_list</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

<tt class="descname">get_nlstr</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

<tt class="descname">get_paths</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

<tt class="descname">get_spstr</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

<tt class="descname">grep</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Return all strings matching ‘pattern’ (a regex or callable)

This is case-insensitive. If prune is true, return all items
NOT matching the pattern.

If field is specified, the match must occur in the specified
whitespace-separated field.

Examples:

a.grep( lambda x: x.startswith('C') )
a.grep('Cha.*log', prune=1)
a.grep('chm', field=-1)

<tt class="descname">l</tt>¶

<tt class="descname">list</tt>¶

<tt class="descname">n</tt>¶

<tt class="descname">nlstr</tt>¶

<tt class="descname">p</tt>¶

<tt class="descname">paths</tt>¶

<tt class="descname">s</tt>¶

<tt class="descname">sort</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

sort by specified fields (see fields())

Example::

a.sort(1, nums = True)

Sorts a by second field, in numerical order (so that 21 > 3)

<tt class="descname">spstr</tt>¶

<tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal">SystemExec</tt>¶

class <tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">SystemExec</tt><big>(</big>verbose=0, debug=0, header='', split=0<big>)</big>¶

Access the system and getoutput functions through a stateful interface.

Note: here we refer to the system and getoutput functions from this
library, not the ones from the standard python library.

This class offers the system and getoutput functions as methods, but the
verbose, debug and header parameters can be set for the instance (at
creation time or later) so that they don’t need to be specified on each
call.

For efficiency reasons, there’s no way to override the parameters on a
per-call basis other than by setting instance attributes. If you need
local overrides, it’s best to directly call system() or getoutput().

The following names are provided as alternate options:

xsys: alias to system

bq: alias to getoutput

An instance can then be created as:
>>> sysexec = SystemExec(verbose=1,debug=0,header=’Calling: ‘)

<tt class="descname">__init__</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Specify the instance’s values for verbose, debug and header.

<tt class="descname">bq</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Stateful interface to getoutput().

<tt class="descname">getoutput</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Stateful interface to getoutput().

<tt class="descname">getoutputerror</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Stateful interface to getoutputerror().

<tt class="descname">shell</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Stateful interface to shell(), with the same keyword parameters.

<tt class="descname">system</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Stateful interface to system(), with the same keyword parameters.

<tt class="descname">xsys</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Stateful interface to system(), with the same keyword parameters.

Functions¶

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">abbrev_cwd</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Return abbreviated version of cwd, e.g. d:mydir

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">all_belong</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Check whether a list of items ALL appear in a given list of options.

Returns a single 1 or 0 value.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">arg_split</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Split a command line’s arguments in a shell-like manner.

This is a modified version of the standard library’s shlex.split()
function, but with a default of posix=False for splitting, so that quotes
in inputs are respected.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">ask_yes_no</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Asks a question and returns a boolean (y/n) answer.

If default is given (one of ‘y’,’n’), it is used if the user input is
empty. Otherwise the question is repeated until an answer is given.

An EOF is treated as the default answer.  If there is no default, an
exception is raised to prevent infinite loops.

Valid answers are: y/yes/n/no (match is not case sensitive).

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">belong</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Check whether a list of items appear in a given list of options.

Returns a list of 1 and 0, one for each candidate given.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">chop</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Chop a sequence into chunks of the given size.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">debugx</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Print the value of an expression from the caller’s frame.

Takes an expression, evaluates it in the caller’s frame and prints both
the given expression and the resulting value (as well as a debug mark
indicating the name of the calling function.  The input must be of a form
suitable for eval().

An optional message can be passed, which will be prepended to the printed
expr->value pair.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">dgrep</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Return grep() on dir()+dir(__builtins__).

A very common use of grep() when working interactively.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">dhook_wrap</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Wrap a function call in a sys.displayhook controller.

Returns a wrapper around func which calls func, with all its arguments and
keywords unmodified, using the default sys.displayhook.  Since IPython
modifies sys.displayhook, it breaks the behavior of certain systems that
rely on the default behavior, notably doctest.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">dir2</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

dir2(obj) -> list of strings

Extended version of the Python builtin dir(), which does a few extra
checks, and supports common objects with unusual internals that confuse
dir(), such as Traits and PyCrust.

This version is guaranteed to return only a list of true strings, whereas
dir() returns anything that objects inject into themselves, even if they
are later not really valid for attribute access (many extension libraries
have such bugs).

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">doctest_reload</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Properly reload doctest to reuse it interactively.

This routine:

imports doctest but does NOT reload it (see below).

resets its global ‘master’ attribute to None, so that multiple uses of

the module interactively don’t produce cumulative reports.

Monkeypatches its core test runner method to protect it from IPython’s

modified displayhook.  Doctest expects the default displayhook behavior
deep down, so our modification breaks it completely.  For this reason, a
hard monkeypatch seems like a reasonable solution rather than asking
users to manually use a different doctest runner when under IPython.

Notes

This function used to reload doctest, but this has been disabled because
reloading doctest unconditionally can cause massive breakage of other
doctest-dependent modules already in memory, such as those for IPython’s
own testing system.  The name wasn’t changed to avoid breaking people’s
code, but the reload call isn’t actually made anymore.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">error</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Equivalent to warn(msg,level=3).

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">esc_quotes</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Return the input string with single and double quotes escaped out

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">fatal</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Equivalent to warn(msg,exit_val=exit_val,level=4).

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">file_read</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Read a file and close it.  Returns the file source.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">file_readlines</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Read a file and close it.  Returns the file source using readlines().

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">filefind</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Return the given filename either in the current directory, if it
exists, or in a specified list of directories.

~ expansion is done on all file and directory names.

Upon an unsuccessful search, raise an IOError exception.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">flag_calls</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Wrap a function to detect and flag when it gets called.

This is a decorator which takes a function and wraps it in a function with
a ‘called’ attribute. wrapper.called is initialized to False.

The wrapper.called attribute is set to False right before each call to the
wrapped function, so if the call fails it remains False.  After the call
completes, wrapper.called is set to True and the output is returned.

Testing for truth in wrapper.called allows you to determine if a call to
func() was attempted and succeeded.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">flatten</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Flatten a list of lists (NOT recursive, only works for 2d lists).

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">get_class_members</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">get_home_dir</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Return the closest possible equivalent to a ‘home’ directory.

We first try $HOME.  Absent that, on NT it’s $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH.

Currently only Posix and NT are implemented, a HomeDirError exception is
raised for all other OSes.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">get_ipython_dir</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Get the IPython directory for this platform and user.

This uses the logic in get_home_dir to find the home directory
and the adds either .ipython or _ipython to the end of the path.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">get_log_dir</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Get the IPython log directory.

If the log directory does not exist, it is created.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">get_pager_cmd</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Return a pager command.

Makes some attempts at finding an OS-correct one.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">get_pager_start</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Return the string for paging files with an offset.

This is the ‘+N’ argument which less and more (under Unix) accept.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">get_py_filename</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Return a valid python filename in the current directory.

If the given name is not a file, it adds ‘.py’ and searches again.
Raises IOError with an informative message if the file isn’t found.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">get_security_dir</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Get the IPython security directory.

This directory is the default location for all security related files,
including SSL/TLS certificates and FURL files.

If the directory does not exist, it is created with 0700 permissions.
If it exists, permissions are set to 0700.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">get_slice</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Get a slice of a sequence with variable step. Specify start,stop,step.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">getattr_list</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

getattr_list(obj,alist[, default]) -> attribute list.

Get a list of named attributes for an object. When a default argument is
given, it is returned when the attribute doesn’t exist; without it, an
exception is raised in that case.

Note that alist can be given as a string, which will be automatically
split into a list on whitespace. If given as a list, it must be a list of
strings (the variable names themselves), not of variables.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">getoutput</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Dummy substitute for perl’s backquotes.

Executes a command and returns the output.

Accepts the same arguments as system(), plus:

split(0): if true, the output is returned as a list split on newlines.

Note: a stateful version of this function is available through the
SystemExec class.

This is pretty much deprecated and rarely used,
genutils.getoutputerror may be what you need.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">getoutputerror</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Return (standard output,standard error) of executing cmd in a shell.

Accepts the same arguments as system(), plus:

split(0): if true, each of stdout/err is returned as a list split on

newlines.

Note: a stateful version of this function is available through the
SystemExec class.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">grep</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Simple minded grep-like function.
grep(pat,list) returns occurrences of pat in list, None on failure.

It only does simple string matching, with no support for regexps. Use the
option case=0 for case-insensitive matching.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">idgrep</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Case-insensitive dgrep()

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">igrep</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Synonym for case-insensitive grep.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">import_fail_info</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Inform load failure for a module.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">indent</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Indent a string a given number of spaces or tabstops.

indent(str,nspaces=4,ntabs=0) -> indent str by ntabs+nspaces.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">info</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Equivalent to warn(msg,level=1).

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">list2dict</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Takes a list of (key,value) pairs and turns it into a dict.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">list2dict2</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Takes a list and turns it into a dict.
Much slower than list2dict, but more versatile. This version can take
lists with sublists of arbitrary length (including sclars).

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">list_strings</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Always return a list of strings, given a string or list of strings
as input.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">make_quoted_expr</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Return string s in appropriate quotes, using raw string if possible.

XXX - example removed because it caused encoding errors in documentation
generation.  We need a new example that doesn’t contain invalid chars.

Note the use of raw string and padding at the end to allow trailing
backslash.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">map_method</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

map_method(method,object_list,*args,**kw) -> list

Return a list of the results of applying the methods to the items of the
argument sequence(s).  If more than one sequence is given, the method is
called with an argument list consisting of the corresponding item of each
sequence. All sequences must be of the same length.

Keyword arguments are passed verbatim to all objects called.

This is Python code, so it’s not nearly as fast as the builtin map().

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">marquee</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Return the input string centered in a ‘marquee’.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">mutex_opts</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Check for presence of mutually exclusive keys in a dict.

Call: mutex_opts(dict,[[op1a,op1b],[op2a,op2b]...]

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">native_line_ends</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Convert (in-place) a file to line-ends native to the current OS.

If the optional backup argument is given as false, no backup of the
original file is left.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">num_cpus</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Return the effective number of CPUs in the system as an integer.

This cross-platform function makes an attempt at finding the total number of
available CPUs in the system, as returned by various underlying system and
python calls.

If it can’t find a sensible answer, it returns 1 (though an error may make
it return a large positive number that’s actually incorrect).

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">optstr2types</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Convert a string of option names to a dict of type mappings.

optstr2types(str) -> {None:’string_opts’,int:’int_opts’,float:’float_opts’}

This is used to get the types of all the options in a string formatted
with the conventions of DPyGetOpt. The ‘type’ None is used for options
which are strings (they need no further conversion). This function’s main
use is to get a typemap for use with read_dict().

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">page</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Print a string, piping through a pager after a certain length.

The screen_lines parameter specifies the number of usable lines of your
terminal screen (total lines minus lines you need to reserve to show other
information).

If you set screen_lines to a number <=0, page() will try to auto-determine
your screen size and will only use up to (screen_size+screen_lines) for
printing, paging after that. That is, if you want auto-detection but need
to reserve the bottom 3 lines of the screen, use screen_lines = -3, and for
auto-detection without any lines reserved simply use screen_lines = 0.

If a string won’t fit in the allowed lines, it is sent through the
specified pager command. If none given, look for PAGER in the environment,
and ultimately default to less.

If no system pager works, the string is sent through a ‘dumb pager’
written in python, very simplistic.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">page_dumb</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Very dumb ‘pager’ in Python, for when nothing else works.

Only moves forward, same interface as page(), except for pager_cmd and
mode.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">page_file</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Page a file, using an optional pager command and starting line.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">popkey</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Return dct[key] and delete dct[key].

If default is given, return it if dct[key] doesn’t exist, otherwise raise
KeyError.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">print_lsstring</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Prettier (non-repr-like) and more informative printer for LSString

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">print_slist</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Prettier (non-repr-like) and more informative printer for SList

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">process_cmdline</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Process command-line options and arguments.

Arguments:

argv: list of arguments, typically sys.argv.

names: list of option names. See DPyGetOpt docs for details on options

syntax.

defaults: dict of default values.

usage: optional usage notice to print if a wrong argument is passed.

Return a dict of options and a list of free arguments.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">qw</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Similar to Perl’s qw() operator, but with some more options.

qw(words,flat=0,sep=’ ‘,maxsplit=-1) -> words.split(sep,maxsplit)

words can also be a list itself, and with flat=1, the output will be
recursively flattened.

Examples:

>>> qw('1 2')
['1', '2']

>>> qw(['a b','1 2',['m n','p q']])
[['a', 'b'], ['1', '2'], [['m', 'n'], ['p', 'q']]]

>>> qw(['a b','1 2',['m n','p q']],flat=1)
['a', 'b', '1', '2', 'm', 'n', 'p', 'q']

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">qw_lol</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

qw_lol(‘a b’) -> [[‘a’,’b’]],
otherwise it’s just a call to qw().

We need this to make sure the modules_some keys always end up as a
list of lists.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">qwflat</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Calls qw(words) in flat mode. It’s just a convenient shorthand.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">raw_input_ext</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Similar to raw_input(), but accepts extended lines if input ends with .

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">raw_input_multi</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Take multiple lines of input.

A list with each line of input as a separate element is returned when a
termination string is entered (defaults to a single ‘.’). Input can also
terminate via EOF (^D in Unix, ^Z-RET in Windows).

Lines of input which end in are joined into single entries (and a
secondary continuation prompt is issued as long as the user terminates
lines with ). This allows entering very long strings which are still
meant to be treated as single entities.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">read_dict</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Read a dictionary of key=value pairs from an input file, optionally
performing conversions on the resulting values.

read_dict(filename,type_conv,**opt) -> dict

Only one value per line is accepted, the format should be

# optional comments are ignored
key valuen

Args:

type_conv: A dictionary specifying which keys need to be converted to

which types. By default all keys are read as strings. This dictionary
should have as its keys valid conversion functions for strings
(int,long,float,complex, or your own).  The value for each key
(converter) should be a whitespace separated string containing the names
of all the entries in the file to be converted using that function. For
keys to be left alone, use None as the conversion function (only needed
with purge=1, see below).

opt: dictionary with extra options as below (default in parens)

purge(0): if set to 1, all keys not listed in type_conv are purged out
of the dictionary to be returned. If purge is going to be used, the
set of keys to be left as strings also has to be explicitly specified
using the (non-existent) conversion function None.

fs(None): field separator. This is the key/value separator to be used
when parsing the file. The None default means any whitespace [behavior
of string.split()].

strip(0): if 1, strip string values of leading/trailinig whitespace.

warn(1): warning level if requested keys are not found in file.

0: silently ignore.

1: inform but proceed.

2: raise KeyError exception.

no_empty(0): if 1, remove keys with whitespace strings as a value.

unique([]): list of keys (or space separated string) which can’t be
repeated. If one such key is found in the file, each new instance
overwrites the previous one. For keys not listed here, the behavior is
to make a list of all appearances.

Example:

If the input file test.ini contains (we put it in a string to keep the test
self-contained):

>>> test_ini = '''\
... i 3
... x 4.5
... y 5.5
... s hi ho'''

Then we can use it as follows:
>>> type_conv={int:’i’,float:’x’,None:’s’}

>>> d = read_dict(test_ini)

>>> sorted(d.items())
[('i', '3'), ('s', 'hi ho'), ('x', '4.5'), ('y', '5.5')]

>>> d = read_dict(test_ini,type_conv)

>>> sorted(d.items())
[('i', 3), ('s', 'hi ho'), ('x', 4.5), ('y', '5.5')]

>>> d = read_dict(test_ini,type_conv,purge=True)

>>> sorted(d.items())
[('i', 3), ('s', 'hi ho'), ('x', 4.5)]

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">setattr_list</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Set a list of attributes for an object taken from a namespace.

setattr_list(obj,alist,nspace) -> sets in obj all the attributes listed in
alist with their values taken from nspace, which must be a dict (something
like locals() will often do) If nspace isn’t given, locals() of the
caller is used, so in most cases you can omit it.

Note that alist can be given as a string, which will be automatically
split into a list on whitespace. If given as a list, it must be a list of
strings (the variable names themselves), not of variables.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">shell</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Execute a command in the system shell, always return None.

Options:

verbose (0): print the command to be executed.

debug (0): only print, do not actually execute.

header (‘’): Header to print on screen prior to the executed command (it

is only prepended to the command, no newlines are added).

Note: this is similar to genutils.system(), but it returns None so it can
be conveniently used in interactive loops without getting the return value
(typically 0) printed many times.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">snip_print</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Print a string snipping the midsection to fit in width.

print_full: mode control:

0: only snip long strings

1: send to page() directly.

2: snip long strings and ask for full length viewing with page()

Return 1 if snipping was necessary, 0 otherwise.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">sort_compare</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Sort and compare two lists.

By default it does it in place, thus modifying the lists. Use inplace = 0
to avoid that (at the cost of temporary copy creation).

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">system</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Execute a system command, return its exit status.

Options:

verbose (0): print the command to be executed.

debug (0): only print, do not actually execute.

header (‘’): Header to print on screen prior to the executed command (it

is only prepended to the command, no newlines are added).

Note: a stateful version of this function is available through the
SystemExec class.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">target_outdated</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Determine whether a target is out of date.

target_outdated(target,deps) -> 1/0

deps: list of filenames which MUST exist.
target: single filename which may or may not exist.

If target doesn’t exist or is older than any file listed in deps, return
true, otherwise return false.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">target_update</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Update a target with a given command given a list of dependencies.

target_update(target,deps,cmd) -> runs cmd if target is outdated.

This is just a wrapper around target_outdated() which calls the given
command if target is outdated.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">timing</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

timing(func,*args,**kw) -> t_total

Execute a function once, return the elapsed total CPU time in
seconds. This is just the first value in timings_out().

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">timings</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Execute a function reps times, return a tuple with the elapsed total CPU
time in seconds and the time per call. These are just the first two values
in timings_out().

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">timings_out</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Execute a function reps times, return a tuple with the elapsed total
CPU time in seconds, the time per call and the function’s output.

Under Unix, the return value is the sum of user+system time consumed by
the process, computed via the resource module.  This prevents problems
related to the wraparound effect which the time.clock() function has.

Under Windows the return value is in wall clock seconds. See the
documentation for the time module for more details.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">uniq_stable</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

uniq_stable(elems) -> list

Return from an iterable, a list of all the unique elements in the input,
but maintaining the order in which they first appear.

A naive solution to this problem which just makes a dictionary with the
elements as keys fails to respect the stability condition, since
dictionaries are unsorted by nature.

Note: All elements in the input must be valid dictionary keys for this
routine to work, as it internally uses a dictionary for efficiency
reasons.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">unquote_ends</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Remove a single pair of quotes from the endpoints of a string.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">warn</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Standard warning printer. Gives formatting consistency.

Output is sent to Term.cerr (sys.stderr by default).

Options:

-level(2): allows finer control:

0 -> Do nothing, dummy function.
1 -> Print message.
2 -> Print ‘WARNING:’ + message. (Default level).
3 -> Print ‘ERROR:’ + message.
4 -> Print ‘FATAL ERROR:’ + message and trigger a sys.exit(exit_val).

-exit_val (1): exit value returned by sys.exit() for a level 4
warning. Ignored for all other levels.

<tt class="descclassname">IPython.genutils.</tt><tt class="descname">with_obj</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big>¶

Set multiple attributes for an object, similar to Pascal’s with.

Example:
with_obj(jim,

born = 1960,
haircolour = ‘Brown’,
eyecolour = ‘Green’)

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2001-May/040703.html.

NOTE: up until IPython 0.7.2, this was called simply ‘with’, but ‘with’
has become a keyword for Python 2.5, so we had to rename it.

I am trying to run a mapreduce program in eclipse using cloudera hadoop maven dependencies in the pom.xml in Windows 7. While using 2.0.0-cdh4.0.0 dependency version in pom.xml, program is working smoothly but when I change the version to 2.0.0-cdh4.6.0, it is throwing following warning message.
The program also works for 2.2.0 version. I have to use the 2.0.0-cdh4.6.0 version. What can be the possible fix for my situation ?
I too have the same issue. Simple word count Code works with CDH 4.0 but not with 4.5 or 4.6 .

Q: Strange @hide behavior In BitmapFactory.decodeStream method :
public static Bitmap decodeStream(InputStream is, Rect outPadding, Options opts) {
        // we don't throw in this case, thus allowing the caller to only check
        // the cache, and not force the image to be decoded.
        if (is == null) {
            return null;
        }

        Bitmap bm = null;

        Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_GRAPHICS, "decodeBitmap");
        try {
            if (is instanceof AssetManager.AssetInputStream) {
                final int asset = ((AssetManager.AssetInputStream) is).getAssetInt();
                bm = nativeDecodeAsset(asset, outPadding, opts);
            } else {
                bm = decodeStreamInternal(is, outPadding, opts);
            }

            if (bm == null && opts != null && opts.inBitmap != null) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("Problem decoding into existing bitmap");
            }

            setDensityFromOptions(bm, opts);
        } finally {
            Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_GRAPHICS);  // THAT IS COLLISION LINE
        }

        return bm;
    }

we see a usage Trace.TRACE_TAG_GRAPHICS. Ok, let's look at Trace.java :
public final class Trace {
    /*
     * Writes trace events to the kernel trace buffer.  These trace events can be
     * collected using the "atrace" program for offline analysis.
     */

    private static final String TAG = "Trace";

    // These tags must be kept in sync with system/core/include/cutils/trace.h.
    /** @hide */
    public static final long TRACE_TAG_NEVER = 0;
    /** @hide */
    public static final long TRACE_TAG_ALWAYS = 1L << 0;
    /** @hide */
    public static final long TRACE_TAG_GRAPHICS = 1L << 1;
    ...

And when i try to use Trace.TRACE_TAG_GRAPHICS flag compiler give me error that this tag not responsible for me. I agree with him.
But the question - Why BitmapFactory have access to @hide variables and why me not?

A: For private APIs, that are not part of the published, official Android API, Android uses the @hide annotation to prevent them from being included in the jar that your program is compiled against.  There is no guarantee that these will be available in the future so you shouldn't rely on them.  If you need to use it, you can access it via Reflection.

Sinn Féin Upper Bann Assembly member John O'Dowd has criticised Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan for excusing the PSNI for turning up almost four hours after being contacted on 9 January about a suspect bomb outside a bar at Brownlow Terrace in Lurgan.
The Ombudsman's office was asked by O'Dowd to investigate why it took the PSNI so long to arrive, even though the scene was only 300 yards from the PSNI barracks. O'Dowd eventually removed the device himself.
The Ombudsman's report said the PSNI were not at fault because the lack of British Army support meant they were unable to attend. It concluded that the PSNI decision not to enter the area without British Army personnel was PSNI policy and therefore could not be investigated by the Ombudsman.
Responding, O'Dowd said O'Loan was excusing the PSNI. "I find it totally unbelievable the PSNI could not get British Army support, because Mahon Road Barracks is only 10 minutes away and the British Army headquarters at Lisburn is only 20 minutes away," he said.
West Belfast Sinn Féin Assembly member Michael Ferguson says people in the area have been angered at the news that leading PSNI member Maggie Hunter will benefit financially from the killing by her colleagues of Pearse Jordan on the Falls Road in 1992. Hunter has claimed damages from the BBC because of their reporting of the inquest proceedings.
"Pearse Jordan was unarmed when he was gunned down by Maggie Hunter's RUC colleagues on the Falls Road in 1992," said Ferguson. "Since then, the Jordan family have fought a long and hard campaign for the truth surrounding Pearse's murder.
"At every turn they have been thwarted by the RUC and latterly by the PSNI who continue to withhold vital evidence.
"Now we learn that Maggie Hunter has claimed damages from the BBC because of their reporting of the inquest proceedings. People in West Belfast are angry that Hunter is profiting from the murder of Pearse Jordan.
"Hunter's actions show just how far she is removed communities like West Belfast and how far we have yet to travel before achieving acceptable policing. She seems oblivious to the decades of torture, murder and abuse caused by the RUC in areas like West Belfast and the legacy which this continues to leave."
Sinn Féin has branded those responsible for painting sectarian graffiti on the walls of a Presbyterian church in Crumlin as "mindless vandals".
Worshippers at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church were shocked to discover the disturbing graffiti when they arrived for their Sunday service on 8 February.
Messages including 'Prods out', 'IRA' and 'Huns Out' had been daubed on walls surrounding the church in white paint.
Sinn Féin Councillor Martin McManus said the republican community did not endorse such actions and called on people involved to use their heads and desist immediately, "as they are only playing into the hands of those who want trouble.
"We in Sinn Féin have spent a lifetime in the Antrim area trying to remove graffiti of all nature from the borough and this kind of vandalism is a million miles away from the work Sinn Féin is doing in the area," he said.
McManus and fellow councillor Martin Meehan volunteered to remove the offending graffiti themselves.
Meanwhile, a Catholic family were lucky not to be more seriously injured after a bottle was thrown at their car as they drove through the loyalist Ballysillan area of North Belfast.
A 15-week-old baby and a five-year-old boy were showered with glass when the rear window was broken during the sectarian attack on the car as it travelled along the Bilston Road at around 4.30pm on Sunday last.
The boy received minor cuts to his head and ear, while the baby sustained a cut eyebrow. Neither required hospital treatment.
The bottle was thrown by a loyalist in his early 20s wearing a navy jacket, a navy baseball hat and a scarf.
Sinn Féin has accused the PSNI of being heavy handed and of going on the rampage after they attacked a group of young people in Derry's Waterloo Place on Friday night 6 February.
An 18-year-old who has a heart condition was arrested and thrown into the back of a PSNI Land Rover, where he says he was assaulted by a number of PSNI personnel.
Sinn Féin Councillor Billy Page said the youths were attacked by the PSNI for no reason and this was becoming the norm in Derry.
The attacks occurred around 1.30am. At one stage several hundred youths were in the Waterloo Place area and there were a number of clashes with members of the PSNI. Five people were arrested, said the PSNI.
An eight-day joint PSNI and British Army search in Ardboe on the shores of Lough Neagh in County Tyrone, in which local people's lives were disrupted, is to be raised with the British Government by Sinn Féin Mid-Ulster MP Martin McGuinness.
The search at the Black Lower Road in Ardboe near Stewartstown began on 2 February and finally ended on Monday night 9 February when nothing was found. Sinn Féin believes the British Army was conducting a training exercise and using the alert as a smokescreen to disrupt the local community.

The deeper we look into the cosmos, the more galaxies we see. One 2016 study estimated that the observable universe contains two trillion—or two million million—galaxies. Some of those distant systems are similar to our own Milky Way galaxy, while others are quite different.
A galaxy is a huge collection of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar systems, all held together by gravity. We live on a planet called Earth that is part of our solar system. But where is our solar system? It's a small part of the Milky Way Galaxy.
All in all, Hubble reveals an estimated 100 billion galaxies in the universe or so, but this number is likely to increase to about 200 billion as telescope technology in space improves, Livio told Space.com.
A recent study estimates there may be up to 6 billion Earth-like planets in our galaxy. "This is the science result we've all been waiting for," co-author Natalie M. Batalha, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz, told 'National Geographic'.
13.51 billion years
Milky Way/Age
Judging from the number of stars large enough to produce such black holes, however, scientists estimate that there are as many as ten million to a billion such black holes in the Milky Way alone.
Earth-616 is generally referred to as "our" universe. It has become such a Marvel institution that it was borrowed for the title of its upcoming documentary series Marvel's 616, which begins streaming exclusively on Disney+ this week.
According to the Global Footprint Network, which estimates Earth Overshoot Day each year, we now need 1.5 Earths to satisfy our current demands and desires.
Astronomers have found the farthest known source of radio emissions in the universe: a galaxy-swallowing supermassive black hole. Astronomers have discovered the most distant and ancient single source of radio emissions in the known universe.
The oldest known galaxy in existence remains GN-z11, which formed around 400 million years after the Big Bang, as previously reported by Live Science's sister site Space.com. Researchers discovered the ancient galaxy after finding a photo of it in the ALMA archive.
Black holes are regions of space-time where gravity rules: The gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. But even the black holes will one day die. And when they do, these monsters won't go gently into the night.
The diameter of the IC 1101 is approximately 6 million light years. The galaxy's location is one billion years away from Earth and has a mass of about 100 trillion stars. Galaxies such as IC 1101 are typically either elliptical-shaped or flat.
Galaxy The World is a reskin of The World, it has a pitch black base with parts of it being blue and small accents of red, its most notable feature is the head/helmet which has an image of space. When GTW isn't out the galactic helmet stays on the players head.
But where is our solar system? It's a small part of the Milky Way Galaxy. A galaxy is a huge collection of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar systems.
A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system that consists of stars, stellar objects (such as brown dwarfs and neutron stars), nebulae, an interstellar medium of gas and dust, black holes, and an unknown component of dark matter.
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is the closest spiral galaxy to us, and though it's gravitationally bound to the Milky Way, it's not the closest galaxy by far – being 2 million light years away. Andromeda is currently approaching our galaxy at a speed of about 110 kilometers per second.
Samsung is generally cheaper than an iPhone. Due to discounts from Samsung mostly, devices turn to be less expensive and reduce quickly over time, unlike the iPhone. Samsung phones also mostly come with freebies like SD cards, shirts, movie tickets and more which doesn't happen with iPhones.
The Galaxy is essentially one large touchscreen, and the user interacts with it almost entirely by touching the screen itself, though it can dock to a keyboard or other peripherals. It's available in a WiFi only version, which can only connect to the Internet when an open wireless signal is in range.
Located almost a billion light-years away, IC 1101 is the single largest galaxy that has ever been found in the observable universe. Just how large is it? At its largest point, this galaxy extends about 2 million light-years from its core, and it has a mass of about 100 trillion stars.
Universe's oldest known quasar discovered 13 billion light-years away. Astronomers have found the farthest known source of radio emissions in the universe: a galaxy-swallowing supermassive black hole. Astronomers have discovered the most distant and ancient single source of radio emissions in the known universe.

Earth/Age
Earth is estimated to be 4.54 billion years old, plus or minus about 50 million years. Scientists have scoured the Earth searching for the oldest rocks to radiometrically date. In northwestern Canada, they discovered rocks about 4.03 billion years old.
Universe's oldest known quasar discovered 13 billion light-years away. Astronomers have found the farthest known source of radio emissions in the universe: a galaxy-swallowing supermassive black hole.
HOST PADI BOYD: While they may seem like a hole in the sky because they don't produce light, a black hole is not empty, It's actually a lot of matter condensed into a single point. This point is known as a singularity.
Answer: Within the event horizon of a black hole space is curved to the point where all paths that light might take to exit the event horizon point back inside the event horizon. This is the reason why light cannot escape a black hole.
16 Psyche
An astroid named 16 Psyche, after Cupid's wife, was found to be made almost entirely of iron and nickel. That means, in current US markets, 16 Psyche is worth somewhere around $10,000 quadrillion (the world's economy is around $74 trillion).

Scouting Report: Duke
August 13, 2016 by EricStFrame
On Sept. 24, Notre Dame faces the Duke Blue Devils for only the fifth time in school history. The Irish currently hold a 3-1 advantage in the series. The most recent meeting between the two teams was in 2007, in which Jimmy Clausen and Robert Hughes lead the way to a relatively easy 28-7 Irish victory. Duke will pose a far tougher challenge this year.
David Cutcliffe
DUKE ON THE RISE
The scariest part of this Duke team is their improved play over the last several years. Duke is no longer the joke football program at a basketball school. The Blue Devils have put together three consecutive winning seasons in a tough ACC. The improvement doesn't seem to be slowing down either, as the most recent recruiting class is considered by some to be the best in Duke's history. Under head coach David Cutcliffe, Duke has risen up the ranks in the ACC thanks in part to a much improved offense (the Blue Devils averaged 31.5 points per game in 2015).
Duke had a roller-coaster season in 2015. After starting 6-1, the Blue Devils faltered down the stretch of ACC play to finish 8-5. However, Duke topped off their season with a win in the Pinstripe Bowl against Indiana. It was the team's first bowl victory since 1961!
THE RETURN OF THE QB
Senior quarterback Thomas Sirk ruptured his Achilles tendon in February, casting uncertainty about his ability to participate in fall camp. But Sirk returned to camp this week, a welcome surprise for Duke fans who expected an offense led by the less experienced Parker Boehme. Sirk threw for 2,625 yards – good enough for third in the ACC – and found the end zone 24 times (16 pass, 8 run). He also led the Blue Devils in all rushing categories.
"That's not to say there isn't plenty of room for improvement," writes Brian Evans of DukeReport.com. "There were times when the Duke offense became very stagnant and predictable and other times when Sirk really struggled to connect on down the field routes. Sirk needs to improve on his 58% completion percentage as well."
Sirk, who was injured during the Blue Devils' Coastal Division championship run in 2013, said he wants to lead the team back to ACC glory.
"It means everything to me, coming back for my senior year and being there with the guys I came in with and finishing what we started," Sirk said. "We want to win an ACC championship. I think we have that caliber of talent on our team. … I feel like I still have unfinished business and I want to make my senior year the best I can for myself and my team."

Duke running backs Jela Duncan and Shaun Wilson, who combined for nearly 900 yards rushing last year, will likely split carries again this season. At wide receiver, keep an eye on sophomore T.J. Rahming. He is coming off an impressive season in which he logged 43 receptions, 571 yards and two touchdowns. The Georgia native was a U.S. Army All-American in high school and appears to be emerging as the No. 1 receiver Duke needs in the passing game. Max McCaffery, who led the Blue Devils receivers in receptions, yards and touchdowns, is now in the NFL.
DEFENSE BY THE EXPERTS
"New bodies on the defensive front with Dwayne Norman, Carlos Wray and Kyler Brown leaving, Duke will have a considerable task in rebuilding the front two levels of its defense. Norman led the team in tackles this past season with 114 while Wray and Brown were anchors along the defensive line. Two players that the coaching staff will closely watch this spring are rising sophomores Marquies Price, a defensive end, and Brandon Boyce, a defensive tackle." – John Kinne (AthlonSports)
"While the D-line is flush in question marks, the back seven fortunately has potential. Sophomore linebackers Tinashe Bere and Ben Humphreys flashed upside as rookies; the latter notched 11 tackles in the Pinstripe Bowl and the former compiled 58 stops and six starts." – Rich Cirminiello (campusinsiders.com)
"The Blue Devil pass D was a mess last season, ranking No. 12 in the ACC. But there's a feeling around the program that the unit could be on the verge of turning the corner. The defensive backfield ought to be the strength of the D, as four starters return, headlined by CB DeVon Edwards, and 2014 full-timer Bryon Fields is back after missing all of 2015 to a knee injury. If Fields recaptures his sophomore form, Duke is capable of performing an about-face in pass defense." – Cirminiello (campusinsiders.com)

We love the chase that poker brings to the gambling experience. Are you the predator, the pray, or a mix of both? There's one way to find out: you have to go to the tables. We want more players to actually play poker, not just watch WSOP reruns over and over. There are a lot of things that you can learn about poker from watching tournaments, but we dare say that nothing beats real time play, especially real money play. We started playing over at Casino X, and we love the field of players there. You don't just have easy targets, as some of the competition was really gunning for our chips in a skillful way.
But if you're a seasoned player, you might start wondering if there are any signs that you should be moving up in stakes. Just playing basic tiny stakes poker can be fun, but after a while you might want more challenge.
Here are some fast signs to look for when it's time to move up.
Like many things in poker, knowing when to move up can be boiled down into a few calculators. You can go online and look one up to do the calculations for you, something that we recommend. You'll need to know how much you actually have to spend on your bankroll before you get accurate numbers, however. Just keep that in mind.
Are you dominating the games that you play at a lower level? Then it's time to move up. But if you're not playing a lot of hands consistently over time, it's time to go back down. It's okay to move through limits back and forth until you get comfortable. No one is going to out you as an imposter or take away your poker playing privileges. Do what's best for you!
Are you getting bored with quarter raises and dollar pushes? It's time to get into a higher stakes game where you really feel like you're on the edge of your seat. Not everyone will be able to play the really big stakes, but you may be able to move up to stakes that give you the sense of risk that you want. Everyone is different, so we recommend looking at the stakes for yourself, and then making the decision. A calculator can't replace your gut instincts and your realistic bankroll amount.
Overall, we think that playing at Casino X will give you a nice grouping of players, but of course you have to see it for yourself. Don't think that you're always going to be swimming with the sharks, of course: there are a lot of really friendly players that wouldn't mind helping you refine your game!


THE Wingmakers' director of football Andy Preece has dismissed his rivals' claims of big spending as 'mind games' and says his team are joint-top of the table on merit.
Unbeaten Airbus sit on the same points total and have a game in hand on reigning champions The New Saints, the Welsh Premier League's only full-time club and winners of six of the last nine championship titles.
But director of football Preece has been irritated by thinly veiled comments from opposing managers and fans about his budget – and says the 'unfair' snipes are a slight on a team 'playing out of their skins'.
"People make assumptions when they don't know," Preece told David Goodban of the Flintshire Chronicle.
"It seems that when anyone does well who's not expected to, it must mean they've got a huge budget. It's an easy thing for people to say but it's a cop-out.
"If we were halfway down the league, no-one would be saying anything. We do a lot of things right that don't cost anything, organisation and fitness for example. We've got a great camaraderie too - you can't buy that."
Most of the squad Preece and assistant Andy Morrison have assembled have come from the English non-league system, which Preece believes 'offers better value for money' than signing established Welsh Premier League players.
"My players are playing out of their skins so it's frustrating when they have to keep hearing these things.
"It's all mind games. We'll keep working as hard as we can on things that don't cost a penny."
The Wingmakers could make it six months without a competitive defeat when they host Prestatyn Town in Saturday's live TV game at the Airfield (kick-off 3.45pm).


Finally, the financial crisis is not yet over even if the U.S. Senate and Congress passed the bill and sign by President George W. Bush and released the needed US$700 billion dollars in rehabilitating the economy and bailing out these companies.
In Europe, it seem they are taking the beating from the ripple effect of the U.S. financial crisis had spread worldwide affecting all of us and it is beating the hell out of Europe. Germany and France are taking it serious effort in controlling the effect of the financial crisis. France's BNP Paribas and Germany's Hypo Real Estate are hit hard and being bought by other major companies which were not stricken and have more capital to acquire ailing companies. European Union is preparing itself for anything worst possible scenario by setting a bail-out fund as well to its ailing banks.
Who's next? Asia? The questions are, Are we prepared to fend for ourselves without the need of intervention from America who is also helpless and would take years to recover. Asia just got off from the claws of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis wherein it took us 3 to 5 years to recover. As some of economists say, Asian countries won't be affected because the credit is not yet fully developed plus before borrowing money you still need collaterals just in case you cannot pay as what our Philippine banks are doing. Yesterday, President Gloria Arroyo disclosed that the country needs to brace itself for the uncertainties up ahead. Our local exporting companies have already incurred losses since 2007 during the subprime crisis due to the slowdown of demand of imported products from their country with expected 1% percent (250,000 people) jobs loss from our country as what one of the economic adviser of President Arroyo disclosed.
Without credit, the economy won't grow. It cannot obtain the growing needs of small and larger business to expand. There will be job losses and downsizing from most of the companies in the U.S. American Companies with international bases abroad would likewise relocate or outsource their existing companies in our country to the rapidly growing economies such as mainland China and India.
Meanwhile Philam Group of Companies, an AIG company is being likely to be sold to other companies who are interested in acquiring this great company which has been included as a forerunner in insurances banking and other financial and investment services in the Philippines. Yuchengco Group of Companies is very vocal about the issue while Ayala Corporation, San Miguel Corporation, SM Group of Companies, First Pacific Corporation are still mum but are interested in expanding their business into into insurance and other financial services and investments. AIG is still struggling to sell of its international assets in order to raise funds to pay of the loans from the U.S. government.
Will the Philippine government step up to the threat and have countermeasures on this issue. As the government would say, Yes. "we have plans for countermeasures on the effects of the financial crisis in America" but still the support of the majority of public would be needed and appreciated in facing this growing crisis.
well I guess the best way to face the crisis is to be prepared as individuals. We can not expect the government to do much, with or without the crisis.


Sometimes we're reminded that life truly is precious, and that every moment matters. Accidents, hospitalizations, and traumatic events oftentimes bring the fragility of life to our attention, however unfortunate such events may be. It was only two weeks ago that Kim Zolciak-Biermann informed the world that her son, 4-year-old Kash, was involved in a horrific accident involving a dog bite. Since then, Zolciak-Biermann has kept followers updated on Kash's progress, sharing his amazing healing process. And now, Kim Zolciak-Biermann has shared another photo of Kash, thanking everyone for their prayers, and praising Kash's amazing team of doctors that helped him to get better.
In an Instagram post shared Tuesday afternoon, Zolciak-Biermann informed fans that Kash has made a near-complete recovery following his accident. Earlier posts indicated that Kash sustained severe injuries from the accident, resulting in surgery. And while Zolciak-Biermann has since posted photos and videos of Kash getting along with his siblings since he was discharged from the hospital, this latest post is the most detailed description Zolciak-Biermann has given of Kash's injuries, and the procedures he had to endure in order to heal.
Previously, Zolciak-Biermann informed fans that "the injuries sustained to his skin are healing up perfectly because of his amazing doctors, nurses, modern medicine, my homeopathic treatments his will and his positive attitude." And now, she's sharing a sweet photo of the little boy, showing how far he's come.
"Kash and our entire family want to Thank each and everyone of you for all your prayers!" Zolciak-Biermann wrote under her latest photo. "Kash has healed up incredibly and has perfect vision in his left eye. Stitches on his water line, and his eyeball was never touched! God is Good! We are so incredibly thankful and blessed! In no time he will heal up perfectly and you will never know this happened!"
Since the accident, Zolciak-Biermann has made sure to thank everyone for their prayers, and has also given major props to Kash's doctors, "Dr Joseph Williams (chief of plastic surgery) and Dr Berland (Tomas Eye Group)," for their skills and the amazing work they performed on little Kash.
Zolciak-Biermann shares Kash —along with 5-year-old Kroy Jagger "KJ", and 3-year old twins, Kaia Rose and Kane Ren — with her husband Kroy Biermann. The two also parent Zolciak-Biermann's two daughters from her previous marriage, Brielle Biermann and Ariana Biermann, whom Biermann adopted in 2013.
For now, it seems the entire family is grateful for Kash's recovery and likely spending some quality time together — as they should.

If we use social media in the hiring process, does employee presence in that space increase organization vulnerability?
Increasingly, recruiters and employers are using social media to screen candidates. On the bright side, candidates can and are rewarded for the creativity and writing skills they display. The dark side is the overwhelming tendency to dismiss candidates whose expressed views or social habits differ from the employer's. Like it or not, this seems to be the new normal. Read more.
In the world of college football, we have learned never to underestimate the power of a rolling tide. On the political playing field, though, we're not sure what to make of a rising tide. It has been described as both global warming and climate change, but the inconvenient truth remains that our world is experiencing some rather dramatic short- and long-term changes. Your organization needs to prepare for both. Read more.
