The male enhancement subject is within the group of what exactly is regarded as a 'controversial' discussion. One of the finest controversies, naturally, is regarding whether or not the products designed for male enhancement work. Regarding this aspect, the medical community appears to stay with the opinion that there are no vital progenix ways of improving how big a man's sexual organ is, right after the teenage period (when the male bodily and sexual hormones like testosterone have a huge impact over the growth and width of the male sexual organs). Depending on this way of thinking, the prevailing ultimate view would be that the penile enhancement pills essentially don't function - which the folks today selling options are con artists who're only looking to fleece males and ladies off their hard gained cash.

'Tis the Season to Delay SEC Filings
Goodyear Tire & Rubber; HealthSouth; Hollinger International; Per-Se Technologies; Sonus Networks; AaiPharma; Shurgard Storage Systems; P.F. Chang'...
Stephen TaubMarch 18, 2004
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. announced that it won't be able to file its annual report by the March 30 deadline, but that it will file "as soon as practicable" following the resolution of an investigation into its overseas accounting problems.
HealthSouth Corp., which is also being investigated for its accounting practices, announced that it expects to file its 2003 annual report in the first quarter of 2005. In January the company said that a review of previous statements was substantially complete and that its special audit review committee was preparing a report.
Hollinger International Inc., publisher of the Chicago Sun-Times and The Daily Telegraph of London, said Monday that it would delay the filing of its annual report pending the outcome of an internal investigation into payments made to its controlling shareholder and former CEO, Conrad Black.
Per-Se Technologies Inc., a provider of health-care administrative solutions, announced that it filed for an automatic 15-day extension for the filing of its 2003 annual report and expects to file by March 30, the extension deadline. The company said that as part of its year-end 2003 audit, external auditors advised it that additional procedures under SAS 99 should be performed in connection with allegations of improprieties made in 2003.
Sonus Networks, a provider of packet voice infrastructure services for telecom companies, announced Tuesday that it would file its 2003 annual report that day, but that it would request an automatic 15-day extension for its audited financial statements and other related financial information. The delay in filing the financial statements, explained the company, results from the company's previously announced review of certain revenue timing issues and practices and of certain other financial statement accounts.
Specialty pharmaceutical company AaiPharma Inc. filed for an extension two weeks after warning that an inquiry into sales abnormalities might lead to a delay.
li>Shurgard Storage Centers Inc., a real estate investment trust, sought a 15-day delay in order to provide additional time for the company's new auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, to complete a required three-year audit.
Restaurant chain P.F. Chang's China Bistro Inc., announced that it could not file its annual report on time pending a restatement of its financials for prior years. The company said the restatement would include the most recent year ended December 28, 2003, and would reflect a change in accounting for its market, operating, and culinary-partnership program.
DPL Inc. on Monday asked the SEC for an extension for filing its annual report, one day before it announced that it had received a letter from a whistle-blower alleging improprieties at the company.

Microsoft caused a bit of a stir this week when it announced it had bought Minecraft creator Mojang for $2.5billion. But it would appear it values Minecraft much more now than it did when the game was first introduced.
Me: "I think Minecraft is your kind of game"
Peter: "For sure, it is, it is. I've been a total fan of that game since I first saw it when it was just this… you could only chip out blocks pretty much and that was all."
Me: "Yeah, it's so simple. And, of course, graphically simple as well. It's amazing that in the modern era of all this normal mapping and all this sort of thing that a game that's all pixelated can be so huge.
Peter: "Well I can remember coming to things like this back in my Microsoft days and talking to Microsoft. They thought it was rubbish. You know, it didn't have a character, it didn't have a story, it didn't have a tutorial, the graphics were, you know, like 1980s graphics and they totally, totally missed that. To consumers... they didn't care. Some of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen in a game has been in Minecraft. Because you just feel like there's this never-ending world, really."
In fairness to Microsoft, Minecraft isn't like other big-name games. And nobody could have predicted quite how massively successful it would become. Even Mojang's famed co-founder, Markus 'Notch' Persson, found the scale of his creation overwhelming, telling his fans: "Thank you for turning Minecraft into what it has become, but there are too many of you, and I can't be responsible for something this big... It's not about the money. It's about my sanity."

Radioactive Mud In Fukushima School Pools Tops 100,000 Becquerels Per Kg (Asahi Shimbun)
– Radioactive Mud In Fukushima School Pools Tops 100,000 Becquerels (Asahi Shimbun, April 22, 2013):
FUKUSHIMA—Radioactive cesium levels exceeding 100,000 becquerels per kilogram were measured in mud accumulated at the bottom of swimming pools at two high schools in and around Fukushima city.
Mud in the pool of a third high school in Minami-Soma, which is closer to the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, showed at least 8,000 becquerels per kilogram.
Under a special measures law, the central government must remove mud and other substances with radioactivity levels of more than 8,000 becquerels caused by the meltdowns at the plant.
The three high schools have not discharged the water from their swimming pools since the nuclear crisis started on March 11, 2011. The water has apparently blocked the spread of contamination from the mud; air radiation levels near the three school pools are almost the same as those of other locations.
"Mud under the water, even if highly contaminated, would not become an issue unless it was taken out of the water," said Kunikazu Noguchi, an associate professor of radiation protection at Nihon University.
However, 63 of the 70 public high schools in Fukushima Prefecture that have swimming pools have already released the water, often into rivers and irrigation canals, according to the Fukushima prefectural board of education.
The central and local governments will likely have to conduct surveys to check whether mud released from school pools has polluted rivers and canals beyond government safety levels.
The Asahi Shimbun obtained the mud with the help of the three schools and teachers, and had the Citizen's Radioactivity Measuring Station (CRMS), a Fukushima-based nonprofit group, measure the radioactivity levels.
In March 2012, the CRMS tested mud collected from the pool of the high school in Fukushima. The radioactive cesium level was 65,900 becquerels, according to the results released on April 1 this year.
The prefectural government has measured radioactivity levels of water in the school pool, but not the mud. The latest results for mud from the high school swimming pool in Fukushima showed 104,100 becquerels per kilogram.
"We have concentrated on decontamination of the pools and not thought about the mud," said a senior Fukushima prefectural government official in charge of decontamination efforts.
The Asahi Shimbun also obtained mud from the two schools with the consent of principals and vice principals. The test results showed 119,461 becquerels for the high school pool outside the prefectural capital and 8,468 becquerels for the pool in Minami-Soma.
"We are conducting verification experiments to find practical decontamination measures," said an official of the prefectural government. "We will inform the Environment Ministry and discuss possible measures after reviewing the results of the experiment."
The CRMS was established in July 2011 amid complaints the central and local governments were not offering sufficient monitoring systems.
The CRMS has measured radioactivity levels of 15,000 food and other items, which citizens brought to its 10 affiliated measuring stations in Fukushima Prefecture, Tokyo and elsewhere. The test results were released on April 1.

Q: sql query records pair of two I have a table like this one below where the records are basically pair of two (same ID1 and ID2) but different Note and Status (some times).
I need to select all the records that at the same time have the field Note equal to "Ready to QC" and the field Status equal to 1, and the records with the field Note equal to "Ready for Cataloging" have Status 0.
ID1,   ID2,      Note,                      Status
3,     22,       Ready for QC,                1
3,     22,       Ready for Cataloging,        0
36,    22,       Ready for QC,                1
36,    22,       Ready for Cataloging,        1
63,    22,       Ready for QC,                1
63,    22,       Ready for Cataloging,        0
67,    67,       Ready for QC,                0
67,    67,       Ready for Cataloging,        0

Any suggestions? Thank you. Giovanni

A: I think you want all the ID1 and ID2 of such records where both conditions exist..
It does assume a uniqueness for each ID1, ID2, Note, Status  (meaning there can't be two identical records in the table)
SELECT ID1, ID2, count(*) cnt
FROM Table
WHERE (Note = "Ready to QC" and status = 1)
    OR(note = "Ready for Cataloging" and Status 0)
GROUP BY ID1, ID2
HAVING COUNT(*) = 2

A: This one is longer but accounts for duplicates:
SELECT t1.id1, t1.id2, t1.note, t1.status
FROM
(SELECT *
 FROM t
 WHERE note = 'Ready for QC'
 AND status = 1) t1
INNER JOIN
(SELECT *
 FROM t
 WHERE note = 'Ready for Cataloging'
 AND status = 0) t2
ON t1.id1 = t2.id1
AND t1.id2 = t2.id2

Both males and females can test their autosomal DNA to make connections through their 16 great great-grandparents.
There are two types of test for following the male (Paternal) line. They use different types of markers and have different purposes. If you have read in the press or heard on the radio about 'deep ancestry' tests then markers called SNPs are used. They are not used to compare individuals for genealogical purposes, but are important for identifying the origins of genetic families who may share a common origin, but posses different surnames. This test is done after Y-DNA has been tested and for genealogical purposes.
Surname research / Y-DNA: This is a male specific test. We recommend the 37 marker Y-DNA test as a minimum for paternal research. Generally 37 STR markers are sufficient to determine if two individuals are connected in a genealogical timeframe. By upgrading to 67 markers the time to the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) between individuals can be further narrowed. Upgrading at a later date from 37 to 67 markers is an option if cost is an issue. Confirmation of deep paternal ancestry to establish which genetic population you may belong may require a further test if you do not have any close matches on 37 or 67 markers who have already tested for these defining markers (called SNPs).
Maternal line: Both men and women can take this test. The basic mtDNA test following the direct female line will tell you a haplogroup (genetic family). The mtDNAplus test will give some closer matches, but for a genealogical time frame the mtDNA Full sequence is most helpful. mtDNA mutates less often than Y-DNA thus the time in years between matches which are found are larger and harder to define. The mtDNAPlus or mtDNA Full Sequence test can reveal you deep maternal ancestral origin.
Close ancestry on other lineages: Both men and women can take this test. A third type of test has recently come on the market. The Family Finder test looks at DNA back to your 16 great great-grandparents. It works best if you have undertaken research using traditional documentary research. Family Finder uses autosomal DNA which is inherited from both parents, who inherited it from their parents. It will provide a breakdown of your ethnic population percentages and can connect you with relatives descended from any of your ancestral lines within approximately the last 5 generations.
If you are interested in using DNA for close genealogy relationships (within the past 5 generations) that cross gender lines or if you are curious about your ethnic percentages, Family Finder is the right choice. It helps to have done some documentary research on each line to identify surnames. Family Finder is a useful avenue of research for adoptees as we inherit 50% of our autosomal DNA from each parent.
Deep ancestral origins: There are two types of test for researching the male (paternal) line. They use different types of markers and have different purposes. If you have read in the press or heard on the radio about 'deep ancestry' testing, then markers called SNPs are used. Certain of these SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) are used to define branching on the male paternal tree.
Many of these markers are geographically specific and thus when combined with known documentary, historical and migration data can infer possible population and geographical origin.
Some of these markers have been given labels such as indigenous Pictish or British, Norse, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Dalriadic, Frisian or Niall from Ireland, but extreme care needs to be taken in using these terms. There are in fact dozens of distinct genetic families emerging and we feel it best to report the geographical predominance of a marker than give it a label until peer reviewed academic publication has been provided about specific markers. For instance indigenous Scottish Y-DNA might carry the marker L1335 previously known as STR47-Scots. You can read more about this marker on the Scottish DNA Project blog.
SNP markers are not used to compare and match individuals within a genealogical time frame, but used to confirm the deeper geographical origin of a surname and identify the common genetic ancestry of various lineages which carry different surnames.
Testing for the deep ancestral origin of a paternal lineage is done after the standard 37 or 67 marker test used for genealogical purposes. These advanced tests are an important area of research for understanding the origin, growth and migration of both paternal and maternal lineages.
For women deep ancestral origins can be confirmed with the mtDNAplus test (above). The mtDNAFull Sequence test will in due course further help define the maternal genetic family origin in more recent times.

'You can't compare Lewandowski and Messi' - Bayern boss Flick
GER, Bayern, Eur, C1, ESP, Mueller
Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick stayed neutral in the debate whether his striker Robert Lewandowski is better than Barcelona star Lionel Messi ahead of Friday's Champions League quarter-final clash in Lisbon
Barca face Bayern at the Estadio da Luz for a place in next Wednesday's semi-final.
In the build-up, there has been much debate whether Lewandowski, the Champions League's top-scorer with 13 goals in seven games, or six-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi is the better player.
Earlier on Thursday, Barca coach Quique Setien said Lewandowski is "clearly" not at Messi's level after former Bayern star Lothar Matthaeus said the Poland striker had overtaken the Argentina forward as the world's best player.
"You can't compare the two players," insisted Flick.
"Robert is absolutely world-class as a central striker.
"He has a lot of quality, especially in the penalty area, he guarantees goals and creates them too.
"Messi has been by far the best player (in the world) for many years.
"I don't know whether there will be a player like him again."
Lewandowski is enjoying the best season of his career so far with 53 goals in 44 games, while Messi has managed 31 in 43 matches.
However, treble-chasing Bayern need to come up with a plan on how to contain Messi.
"You never defend against him alone. In the (previous Bayern) games against Messi, it always worked well when the whole team played their part," said Bayern forward Thomas Mueller.
"If the first player doesn't win the ball (from Messi), the next comes and tries.
"We have to act together, go into the challenges aggressively, but cleanly.
"It will be exciting, but in our games in the last few weeks, we have shown that we can do it," he added with Bayern unbeaten in their 13 match since the restart.
Flick insists Friday's showdown is not "Bayern against Messi. Of course he's a world-class player and we have thought about how to play against him.
"We have to be there as a team, be smart and put pressure on him."
Bayern are chasing the treble after winning an eighth straight Bundesliga title and lifting the German Cup.
In contrast, Barcelona surrendered the Spanish title to Real Madrid after winning only seven of their 11 matches since the Spanish league resumed.
Nevertheless, Barcelona's former Bayern midfielder Arturo Vidal has insisted the Spanish giants are "the best team in the world".
The Germans resisted making a similar boast, but are in confident mood, even if Flick refused to make his team the favourite.
"Both teams have tremendous quality," he said.
"When such top clubs meet, even a bit of luck can be decisive.
"We have to believe in ourselves, act confidently and with the necessary intensity going into this game."

General John Kelly meets with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, in Washington, D.C. on January 5, 2017.
Marine General John Kelly, President-elect Donald Trump's pick to head the Department of Homeland Security, has his confirmation hearing with the Senate Homeland Security Committee today. Kelly is a four-star general who served in the Persian Gulf War and the Iraq War, worked alongside Defense Secretaries Leon Panetta and Robert Gates, and led US Southern Command, which oversees US military action in South America and Central Asia. Now he's being tasked with defending the US and its citizens from harm at home.
The Department of Homeland Security was created after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks to create a unified defense strategy and coordinate the efforts of 22 federal agencies, including the Secret Service, TSA, and FEMA. The Department has almost a quarter of a million employees and a $40 billion-plus budget to work on border defense and screening, immigration issues, critical infrastructure management, and natural disaster relief.
Kelly has testified before Congress in his previous roles, particularly about the possibility that terrorist organizations could use drug-smuggling routes along the US-Mexico border to carry out more nefarious operations. "Although the extent of criminal-terrorist cooperation is unclear, what is clear is that terrorists and militant organizations easily tap into the international illicit marketplace to underwrite their activities and obtain arms and funding to conduct operations," he told the Senate Armed Services Committee in 2015.
Kelly is one of a handful of retired generals being considered for Trump cabinet positions, and served with Secretary of Defense pick General James Mattis in Iraq. Kelly will likely face questions about defending against terrorism (particularly ISIS), the US southern border, and critical infrastructure during his hearing. But we've identified a few questions the Homeland Security Committee should start with.
How will DHS balance defending against terrorism with maintaining civil liberties?
The incoming Trump administration has made clear that it intends to clamp down on domestic threats, which could lead to expansions of DHS border screening and general data gathering across its divisions. Part of the statute that created DHS called for a privacy oversight department, ensuring that the department doesn't sacrifice Constitutional rights in the name of data collection. The extent to which Kelly respects the privacy office's domain will inform DHS's attitude toward civil liberties.
Kelly has stated his respect for religious diversity and freedom, but has also made it clear that he wants to "put a stop to political correctness that for too long has dictated our approach to national security."
How will Kelly approach DHS's role in cybersecurity and defense of critical infrastructure?
Critical infrastructure includes systems like the electric grid, power generation plants, water access, and the financial system. All of that has a digital component, and DHS has admitted that there have been successful access attacks on control systems. As a result of foreign probing during the 2016 presidential campaign season, DHS classified voting systems as critical infrastructure on Friday.
Meanwhile, infrastructure systems like power grids have already been targeted abroad. "For a long time, these have been vulnerable systems that DHS hasn't pushed to fix, and those vulnerabilities have already been proven to be terribly damaging" when exploited in other countries, says Alan Paller, director of research at the cybersecurity-focused SANS Institute.
How will he balance the defending the border with the rights of detainees?
When the Trump transition team announced Kelly's appointment, Kelly said that Trump supporters had voted to "take back sovereignty at our borders." Kelly has experience with southern border immigration issues from his work in Central and South America, and seems to understand the forces behind much of the region's instability.
But that experience has a particular tinge. "He personifies a military approach to the border," says Chris Rickerd, an immigration-focused policy counsel at ACLU. "That hasn't gone well over the last 15 years. The border can't become this zone where the Constitution doesn't matter, where due process is thrown away, where the historical role of this country as a refuge is abandoned."
Controlling the border is one thing; it's also important to ask how he'll treat the people caught attempting to cross it.

Many Heart Failure Patients Might Safely Reduce Use of Diuretics
FRIDAY, May 31, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Heart failure is a common ailment afflicting older Americans, and many take drugs called diuretics to rid the body of excess fluid buildup that can impede breathing.
Now, a team of Brazilian researchers say that, in some cases, it's safe for patients with stable heart failure to stop taking diuretic drugs.
"Patients don't like using diuretics because they feel they have to stay at home to use the bathroom and they get cramps," noted study principal investigator Dr. Luis Rohde, of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
"Patients would welcome being able to stop this medication," he said, and the new study suggests it can often be done safely.
One U.S. expert who reviewed the new findings stressed that diuretics are key to heart failure care.
"Congestive heart failure is one of the most common chronic ailments in the United States, characterized primarily by volume (fluid) overload," explained Dr. Mohammed Imam. In heart failure, a damaged or weakened heart fails to pump blood as efficiently as it should.
"The mainstay of treatment for decades have been diuretics," said Imam, who directs cardiothoracic surgery at The Heart Institute at Staten Island University Hospital in New York City. Diuretics help patients with heart failure reduce excess fluids that can cause shortness of breath, swollen legs, coughing and weight gain.
However, the Brazilian team noted that prior studies have also found long-term diuretic use to be linked with worse patient outcomes.
So, can diuretic use be safely reduced? To find out, Rohde's team tracked outcomes for 188 outpatients in Brazil with stable chronic heart failure who were taking the diuretic furosemide.
The patients were randomly selected to either keep taking the drug (the "maintenance" group) or to start taking an inactive placebo instead (the "withdrawal" group). The patients did not know if they were still taking furosemide or not.
Over the next 90 days, there was no difference between the two groups in patient-reported shortness of breath, the team reported.
Also, 72 patients (75%) in the withdrawal group and 78 patients (84%) in the maintenance group did not require furosemide reuse during the 90-day follow-up, the study authors said. The findings were reported this week at a meeting of the European Society of Cardiology, in Athens, Greece.
"Heart failure patients have many pills to take for their heart failure and for [other illnesses], such as diabetes and hypertension," Rohde said in a society news release. "Withdrawing one drug when it is no longer necessary should make it easier to take the ones that are needed," he added.
According to study senior author Andreia Biolo, "The results show that patients with stable heart failure who stop diuretics do not have more (shortness of breath) than those who continue taking the drug." Biolo is also with the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul.
"Withdrawal also does not lead to increased reuse of diuretics -- [only] around 20% of patients in both groups needed a top-up, presumably for symptom relief," Biolo noted in the news release.
Overall, the study also found that "patients can be followed-up in the usual way," she said. "And, as we do now, patients should be educated to seek medical help if they become breathless, get edema [swelling], or have sudden weight gain, which indicates fluid retention."
But Imam wasn't convinced that diuretics can be eliminated so easily.
In his experience, "even if patients miss diuretics for a few doses, they get recurrent symptoms and feel better almost immediately on resuming them, even in patients with stable heart failure," he said.
Imam believes the study "is a radical diversion from traditional thinking and most clinicians would … continue using diuretics to treat stable congestive heart failure."
But another U.S. heart failure specialist was more encouraged by the Brazilian findings.
Dr. Marrick Kukin directs heart failure care at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. He agreed that "diuretic withdrawal in heart failure patients is an important goal."
Kukin said, "If it can be done safely, patients are more comfortable (less urination), and there is less jeopardy to the kidney."
But the new study involved a relatively small number of patients, so a larger trial may be needed to settle these questions. Findings presented at medical meetings are also considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
In the meantime, a more nuanced approach to diuretics may work best, Kukin believes.
"In my practice, with savvy patients who can recognize symptoms and take their weight daily, I empower them to make daily diuretic decisions," he said.
While a long-term "fixed" dose of diuretics might not be necessary, the Brazilian trial did not give patients the flexibility "to make daily adjustments" to the dose of diuretic they might require, Kukin noted. For many heart failure patients, that may be the best course to take, he suggested.
The U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute has more on heart failure.

Who would've thought I would end up meeting DenaiHati today? Thanks to AzmanIshak, he persuaded me to give a speech on the event to present Negaraku.my. My speech was super short because I didn't want to bore the audience whom looked pretty hungry (so was I). I actually wanted to share how I met my wife through the previous version of Negaraku.net, but I think that's rather corny.
It was really a great event. I got to mingled around, luckily amongst people that I'm familiar with.

Q: ARCAM rPAC USB sound card not working on Ubuntu 12.04 I've just bought an ARCAM rPAC external USB sound device, and after a lot of hours spent, I just can't get it to work on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit setup.
It uses a TI PCM5102 DAC chipset with Asynchronous USB. I don't think there's a need for a special driver for it, as the rPAC works fine on Windows/Mac OS X using the generic USB driver.
When I plug it in, I find the following in syslog:
May 19 19:31:11 UBUNTUBOX kernel: [  179.096403] usb 1-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd
May 19 19:31:14 UBUNTUBOX pulseaudio[1678]: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: Unable to load mixer: Invalid argument
May 19 19:31:14 UBUNTUBOX kernel: [  182.207155] 5:1:1: usb_set_interface failed

There are loads of those usb_set_interface failed lines.  Later on, I get the following when I use aplay -l to query it, I get more:
May 19 19:33:06 UBUNTUBOX kernel: [  294.021946] 6:1:1: usb_set_interface failed
May 19 19:33:06 UBUNTUBOX pulseaudio[2264]: [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile.
May 19 19:33:06 UBUNTUBOX pulseaudio[2264]: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-card" (argument: "device_id="1" name="usb-ARCAM_ARCAM_USB_Audio_1.0_0000-00-A10" card_name="alsa_card.usb-ARCAM_ARCAM_USB_Audio_1.0_0000-00-A10" namereg_fail=false tsched=yes ignore_dB=no deferred_volume=yes card_properties="module-udev-detect.discovered=1""): initialization failed.
May 19 19:33:06 UBUNTUBOX pulseaudio[2264]: [pulseaudio] module-udev-detect.c: Tried to configure /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2:1.0/sound/card1 (alsa_card.usb-ARCAM_ARCAM_USB_Audio_1.0_0000-00-A10) more often than 5 times in 10s

Running lsusb gives the following line for the rPAC:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 25c4:0003

Typing aplay -l gives the following -- see card 1 below:
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: A10 [ARCAM USB Audio 1.0], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

So the rPAC device is obviously alive and recognized by some part of Ubuntu.  Furthermore, the LED on the rPAC turns green from red when connected, indicating that it's activated.
So far, I've tried adding the following line to /lib/udev/rules.d so that libmtp (I'm on libmtp9, by the way) might recognize it:
# ARCAM rPAC
ATTR{idVendor}=="25c4", ATTR{idProduct}=="0003", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="660", GROUP="audio", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"

I also tried changing /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf to give it a specific hardware slot (slot 1).  But firstly, I get the following error:
cannot find the slot for index 1 (range 0-29), error: -16

and secondly, the rPAC light remains at red.  So I've backed out my changes to alsa.conf.
If anyone's got any bright ideas, I'd very much appreciate it!  I'm spending too much time banging my head against a brick wall!
Thanks,
James.

A: to clarify as of 25/05/2012
The rPAC DAC (class I only) is not compatible with the current Linux kernel.
We have updated our FAQ, web and product info to make this clear.
Apologies for the confusion, I can help you get a refund if necessary.
Cheers Robert

A: I've been through similar issues on my linux distro. To playback music I use MPD and GMPC with bit perfect configuration, i.e. in the mpd.conf file I have
audio_output {
    type        "alsa"
    name        "ARCAM USB Audio 1.0"
    device      "hw:1,0"    # optional
}

when trying to play a song, GMPC tells it cannot open the playback device or something similar. I also got the "usb_set_interface failed" errors in syslog (running dmesg). After various online searches, trials and errors, I finally decided to uninstall completely PulseAudio. After rebooting, everything is working now (red light while not playing, green light while playing, as in Win7... and great sound!).
I made further checks while playing 96kHz FLAC running the following command
cat /proc/asound/card1/stream0

ARCAM ARCAM USB Audio 1.0 at usb-0000:00:1d.0-1, full speed : USB Audio

Playback:
  Status: Running
    Interface = 1
    Altset = 1
    URBs = 3 [ 8 8 8 ]
    Packet Size = 582
    Momentary freq = 96000 Hz (0x60.0000)
    Feedback Format = 10.14
  Interface 1
    Altset 1
    Format: S24_3LE
    Channels: 2
    Endpoint: 1 OUT (ASYNC)
    Rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000

It seems everything is working well since the momentary freq is 96kHz as expected and the format (S24_3LE) says the information is passed directly to the DAC (as I understood from my online searches).
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Gael

A: I've been through all the same things as you have, and also have had no luck.
I contacted the place from where I bought the rPAC, who then contacted Arcam, who stated that the device isn't supported on Linux (the documentation, you may note states that it works on 'PCs'...). Undeterred, I asked Arcam directly on Twitter (they didn't bother to respond to an email that I sent on the 4th May, which was nice of them), who contradicted their support people, and said that it does work (on Linux), and the person responding thought that they were running Fedora; I tried that too, to no avail.
You could always ask them (Twitter/email) and see how they respond. I'd certainly be interested to see.
EDIT: Perhaps ask them to comment on this question?
Cheers
James

A: It's an old post but I am sure there are people liek me that will benefit from my findings on the rPac and Linux.
It looks like the rPac starts as a usd 1.0 device by default. Some kernels accept that but most of them don't.
To force the rPac starting as a usb 2.0 device press both volume buttons while powering it up. You'll get the amber LED which also means the device is on mute. Then, press one of the volume buttons. At this point, you should be ready to play music through your rPac.
You'll see the following in usb 1.0
cat /proc/asound/card1/stream0

ARCAM ARCAM USB Audio 1.0 at usb-0000:00:1d.0-1, full speed : USB Audio

But in usb 2.0 mode you'll see the following
cat /proc/asound/card1/stream0

ARCAM ARCAM USB Audio 2.0 at usb-0000:00:1d.0-1, full speed : USB Audio

Note the 2.0... and the sound card name will change to from A10 to A20
I tested the procedure on Ubuntu 13.10 and debian 7 and it works.
Enjoy!

Woundology
Woundology is about using the wounds -- the hurts, the traumas, the unfortunate events, the slings and arrows of life in general -- in order for the wounded person to manipulate others, elicit sympathy or compassion, to gain a measure of power and/or authority, and/or to claim allowance for their disagreeable actions. It is a specialized form of Scapegoatology, in which the world, Fates, outrageous fortune, and most everyone else are blamed for what the woundee has experienced. Woundology is about claiming compensation for the woundee's problems by others acquiescing to their demands and arguments, allowing the woundee to have their way, extending sympathy in most every form, and forgiving the woundee's failings and faults.
(With specific regard to faults, it is preferable that one not dwell on them.)
Carolyn Myss (http://www.myss.com/) has had much to say about Woundology, and has pointed out that the "most socially acceptable wound is to lose one's child." Think about that. It seems so unnatural, so horrific, for a parent to lose an offspring. Because of this, society is much more willing to bend over backwards for the woundee, to acknowledge their greater claim to pain, and thus, perhaps, avoid replicating the event in their own life.
On one occasion, in the midst of a group of conference attendees, there was a polite disagreement between a man and a woman, the latter whom had lost two children in separate, unrelated automobile actions when the children were in their late teens and early twenties. When the woman became angered by the man's refusal to agree to her arguments, the woman claimed that when the man had lost two children as she had, then she would listen to him, but not otherwise! The loss of the children had absolutely nothing to do with the argument, but the attempt to use the deaths of her children to have the last word was, in fact, successful. The man shrugged his shoulders and realized the futility of any further discussion. (But he wasn't convinced of her argument.)
An counter example was a young mother (probably as ideal a mother as one is likely to ever encounter) who was at lunch with her church group one Sunday. She was her bright, cheery self, and no one had the faintest clue of any underlying concerns, or that she was scheduled for brain surgery the following day. Her son, boyfriend, and a few select friends (who would be assisting in some of the at-home caretaking) were aware of her health problem, but were also cognizant of her desire not to resort to woundology. (Her operation was successful, by the way, and she continues to be her charming self!)
Woundology is not about asking or not asking for help when one needs it. Not asking is more akin to stubbornness, martyrdom, and other questionable activities. As with so many situations, it is the intentions that count. Eliciting sympathy is sad, but requesting specific help is glad. The two may sound very similar. But one diminishes us by trading on our wounds, while the other is about love and connection -- the preferred form of social security -- and has the advantage of prompting the happy prospect of "get ye over it" being the active element.
So... Get Ye Over It. But if you really need help, call. Or write. Send an e-mail, or a smoke signal. Use your ESP and send telepathic brainwaves. Whatever!

Q: Making a string that adapts itself to the text inside it I'm making a program to solve second grade equations (e.g. 2x²+2x+2) and I was trying to have the user input the whole equation in a single text box.  The computer then stores what has been typed into the text box in a string, and then it parses the string to find the coefficents.  For an equation like 2x²+2x+2, the coeficients are 2, 2 and 2 and they are stored in the string at locations 0, 4 and 7.  The big problem is, what if it's a bigger equation like 32x²+32x+45 or 123x²+45x+6?  My logic won't work in that case.  Does anyone know how to do it?
Here's my code that only works for the small equations:
Public Class Form1
    Dim i1 As Double
    Dim i2 As Double
    Dim i3 As Double
    Dim delta As Double
    Dim x1 As Double
    Dim x2 As Double
    Dim leters As String

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        i1 = T1.Text
        i2 = T2.Text
        i3 = T3.Text
        delta = (i2 * i2) - 4 * (i1 * i3)
        If (delta < 0) Then
            Ld.Text = delta
            L1.Text = "Impossível"
            L2.Text = "Impossível"
        Else
            x1 = (-i2 + Math.Sqrt(delta)) / (2 * i1)
            x2 = (-i2 - Math.Sqrt(delta)) / (2 * i1)
            Ld.Text = delta
            L1.Text = x1
            L2.Text = x2
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub RadioButton1_CheckedChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadioButton1.CheckedChanged
        GroupBox1.Text = "Equação"
        GroupBox1.Width = 200
        GroupBox1.Height = 58
        T1.Width = 188
        T3.Hide()
        T2.Hide()
        Label1.Hide()
        Button1.Hide()
        Button2.Show()
    End Sub

    Private Sub RadioButton2_CheckedChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadioButton2.CheckedChanged
        GroupBox1.Text = "Coeficientes"
        GroupBox1.Width = 200
        GroupBox1.Height = 143
        T1.Width = 119
        T3.Show()
        T2.Show()
        Label1.Show()
        Button1.Show()
        Button2.Hide()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        leters = T1.Text
        leters.ToString()
    End Sub
End Class

A: You could use RegEx to parse the string, which would be nice because you could change the RegEx expression as a setting without rebuilding your assembly.  However, if the equation string format is always going to be the same, as appears to be the case here (because the rest of the code would fail if it weren't), then you could simply use String.Split to parse the string.  For instance:
Dim equation As String = "32x²+32x+45"
Dim parts() As String = equation.Split(New Char() {"+"c, "x"c}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
Dim coefficient1 As Integer = Integer.Parse(parts(0))
Dim coefficient2 As Integer = Integer.Parse(parts(2))
Dim coefficient3 As Integer = Integer.Parse(parts(3))

Q: AngularJS: How do you unit test an attribute placed on the HTML  element? I have the following set up in my unit-test:

    beforeEach(module(function($provide) {

    beforeEach(inject(function(_$rootScope_, _$compile_, _$ionicBackdrop_) {
        $scope         = _$rootScope_.$new();
        $compile       = _$compile_;
        $ionicBackdrop = _$ionicBackdrop_;

        $scope.items = ['Pizza', 'Gyro', 'Burger'];
        $scope.model = $scope.items[0];
    }));

    it('Should attach a "focus" and "blur" event to a <select> element', function() {
        var element = $compile('<select ng-model="model" ng-options="item for item in items" select-backdrop></select>')($scope);

        $scope.$digest();

        console.log(element.html());

        expect(element.find('option').length).toBe(3);
    });
});

I'm trying to test the select-backdrop directive.  However, $compile is returning a list of option instead of the select element.  Is there something I'm forgetting to do?


Chris Waite (TB-253) presents a selection of works in progress in Thames-Side Studios Lounge. The complete body of drawings, painting, photographs, film and prints are an attempt to by Chris to create an explorative documentary/archive of a coastal walk, The Southwest Way, the 630-mile footpath that traverses the Devon, Cornwall and Dorset coastline from Minehead to Poole Harbour.
The walk has been ongoing for a number of years with continuous interruptions. I had never intended for it to take so long. The endeavour to complete parts of the walk has become erratic, like a jigsaw puzzle, with many parts missing; very similar to my beloved studio practice. In the attempt to retrieve some order and consistency in my life, and more importantly organise and make more sense of these memorable places, it seemed a good time to revisit and exhibit some pieces of the work. It is unknown how this work may evolve, as they are just thoughts ideas and responses. Or, in-deed, whether and when this trip will ever end. Chris Waite, November 2018.

Jacob Hayes
Dec 21, 2016 at 12:01 AM Dec 21, 2016 at 3:30 AM
Jacob Hayes, 39, of Cedar Rapids, formerly of Burlington, died at 9:42 AM Sunday, December 18, 2016, at the Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids of hypothermia following a tragic car accident.
Born April 7, 1977, in Macomb, IL, he was the beloved son of Douglas D. Hayes and Susan B. Cohoon.
Jacob worked for Four Oaks and REM Treatment Center in the Cedar Rapids area, where he was committed to his work helping individuals with developmental disabilities.
A graduate of Coe College, Jacob received his Bachelor�s Degree in Religion and Psychology.
Jacob was a rugger, a joker and a philosopher. A caretaker and a friend. An uncle. A brother. A son. He found joy in playing rugby for the Cedar Rapids Headhunters and in working with and mentoring troubled teenagers. He had a heart of gold, and his love for his nieces and nephews knew no bounds. Jacob has an inquisitive mind and was an unorthodox thinker. Books, his constant companion, fueled his dreams, his worries and his voracious appetite for knowledge.
Survivors include his mother and step-father, Susan (Dennis) Cohoon of Burlington; his step-mother, Margaret Hayes of Normal, IL; one brother, Patrick (Angel) Hayes of Palm Desert, CA; two sisters, Christine (Adam) Ralston of Iowa City and Kelly Marshall of Michigan; one aunt, Sandy Greiner of Washington, IA; one uncle, Eliot (Marlis) Duncan of Wisconsin; three nephews, Blake, Justice and Quran; four nieces, Aaliyah, Erin, Indira and Alice; significant other, Carlos Villa of Cedar Rapids; five cousins; his clients at REM and Four Oaks who received his love and support through the years; countless rugby teammates whose time on the pitch will never feel quite the same without Veg.
Jacob joins his father, Douglas Hayes and all his grandparents in the afterlife.
Loved by all, but only truly known by few, Jacob was all heart. A deeply sensitive soul, his early hurts and recent losses weighed heavily on that fragile soul. Taken far, far too soon, may Jacob find peace and comfort now.
Cremation has been entrusted to the care of Prugh~Thielen Crematory.
Visitation will be from 12:00 PM until 7:00 PM with the family to receive friends from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM Tuesday, December 27, 2016 at Prugh~Thielen Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, please direct memorial contributions in Jacob�s name to the Marion High School Rugby Club or Foundation 2.
Prugh~Thielen Funeral Home is in care of the arrangements.
A photo tribute can be viewed and condolences can be sent to the family by visiting Jacob�s obituary at www.prughthielencares.com.
The world was better with Jacob in it. He will be sorely missed.

Two access routes exist for physiotherapists coming to work in the UK and it depends on whether your nationality falls within or outside the the European Economic Area (EEA).
This information is for non-UK trained physiotherapists wishing to work in the UK.
The HCPC is the competent authority responsible for processing UK registration applications. If the HCPC identifies any significant differences between your qualifying education and UK requirements, they will offer you a period of adaptation and/or an aptitude test. If you are from outside the EEA the registration process is slightly different but you can still make good any identified shortfalls.
The EEA currently includes all EU countries plus Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. Registration is governed by Directive 2005/36/EEC on the mutual recognition of professional qualifications: see more about this directive on the Europa website. And see the HCPC website for guidance on European Mutual Recognition (EMR).
Non-EEA nationals are subject to the same conditions as EEA nationals (described above), as well as a points based system. See the UK Border and Immigration website for further details on how this works. And see HCPC guidance on how to proceed with an international application.
Whatever your nationality, once you are registered to work in the UK you will want to know about finding a job. Download a copy of the CSP information paper Working in the United Kingdom below, for ideas and guidance.
Please note that students coming to the UK to study shoud seek advice from their universities regarding visa requirements.
Any CSP member who qualifed overseas is welcome to join the iCSP overseas qualified network: find out how to sign up.
The document below helps you to understand what you need to do to work as a physiotherapist in the UK. It explains the HCPC registration process and what the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) offers to support you during the application phase and once you are an HCPC registered physiotherapist.
It also provides information on how to find a job in the UK. Sufficient English language competence is required to practise safely and effectively, therefore the HCPC might ask you to sit a language test or provide other evidence on your level of English.
Following the 2016 EU referendum the UK is intending to leave the European Union and in this context the current arrangements on the mutual recognition rights for EEA physiotherapists may be reviewed in the future.

For those of us old enough to remember, the mere mention of Lambrusco might conjure up memories of an annoying jingle proclaiming how Riunite on ice is so nice. This sweet, slightly effervescent wine has been cast aside, sitting in the shadows with its equally taboo cousin, white zinfandel. But has Lambrusco been harshly misjudged? Does this fruity red wine have a place at the grown ups table?
I recently attended a Lambrusco seminar at Vinology led by Italian wine expert and author of Do Bianchi, Jeremy Parzen. To fully appreciate Lambrusco it is imperative to understand its origin. Lambrusco is both an Italian red grape and the name of the wine made from that grape. The grapes and wine come from the gastronomic mecca that is Emilia-Romagna. Lambrusco comes in various levels of dryness and is typically low in ABV and residual sugar.
Lambrusco was wildly popular in the US during the 70's and 80's. Italian wine makers took advantage of Americans love of sugary drinks. According to Parzen, Lambrusco was like the Coca-cola of wine. "Think of it more like drinking a wine cooler." There's no need to swirl it in your glass or savor the bouquet. It's a nice fizzy beverage to accompany your meal.
As the American palate adjusted to more "serious" wines, Lambrusco lost its appeal. However, not in Emilia-Romagna where Lambrusco is still the wine of choice. When you live in a Provence famous for the best cheeses, meats, pasta and balsamic vinegar then you wouldn't want to overpower these delicacies with a Barolo, Brunello, or Chianti. Just as Texans love their sweet tea, Lambusco is the iced tea of Emilia-Romagna.
The pale pink wine formerly known as white zinfandel is now the ultra hip rose, so maybe there's hope for Lambrusco. I recently picked up a bottle of Riunite for $4.99 to have with dinner. The fizzy, chilled wine was very refreshing in this Texas heat. It didn't add nor distract from my meal. I didn't have my Riunite on ice, but it was indeed "very nice".

Roy Keane didn't hold back on his criticism of Paul Pogba after describing the Manchester United midfielder as a 'schoolboy' for his part in the shock defeat to Sevilla.
United crashed out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage following their 2-1 defeat to the Spaniard's at Old Trafford on Tuesday night with Wissam Ben Yedder scoring two second half goals for the visitors.
Pogba was named on the bench for the game after missing the win over Liverpool last weekend due to a minor knock but the midfielder replaced Marouane Fellaini in the 60th minute with the tie still level at 0-0.
The French international endured a night to forget as he failed to have any positive impact on the game and has been singled out for criticism by fans and pundits over the past two days.
Keane – who made over 400 appearances for United during an illustrious career – has weighed-in by claiming Pogba is a 'big problem' in the team and slammed the super-star for failing to have any positive influence after coming off the bench.
The former United captain criticised Pogba for failing to cover for Antonio Valencia following his error in the build up to the opening goal and likened the Frenchman to a 'schoolboy'.
'You expect big players to come on and change the game. He came on last night and did nothing. We saw with the first goal, his reaction to it was like a schoolboy.
'He doesn't smell danger. The reason you're part of a team is that when your team-mate makes a mistake, you cover for him and make up for it.
It's clear Pogba is struggling to find his form but it's down to Jose Mourinho to figure out a way to get the best out of him and the rest of the under-performing United players such as Alexis Sanchez.
"You expect good players to affect the game. He came on last night and did nothing"

The 113th Congress has been often dubbed a "Do Nothing Congress," citing its lack of passage of bills and waning popularity. But the original "Do Nothing Congress" was the 80th Congress during President Harry S. Truman's first term. The historical lessons that can be learned from the 80th Congress should serve as a warning to both parties, and will probably dictate much of the political strategy for the 114th Congress and the 2016 presidential election.
World War II was over and the economy was starting to take off in all economic sectors of America. Truman had taken over the presidency only 19 months earlier and had far less political clout with Americans and politicians than FDR had maintained.
The 80th Congress -- the 'Do Nothing Congress' -- only passed 906 laws.
The Democrats lost 54 seats in the House and 11 seats in the Senate — making it one of the steepest party losses that changed the balance of power in U.S. history.
The election is often seen as a referendum on Truman's handling of post-war labor strikes and his waffling on ending unpopular price and quantity controls of commodities (the rationing program). Democrats tried to distance themselves from Truman, which only made the problem worse, handing the Republicans a landslide victory.
Because the economy was stabilizing, Republican lawmakers were keen on undoing much of Roosevelt's New Deal legislation, as well as passing pro-business legislation. The Democrats stalled or killed most of the Republican platform, using Senate closure to ensure gridlock.
The result was a "do nothing" Congress that only passed 906 laws — quite small by the standards of that time — with most of the laws relating to the Marshall Plan and National Defense Acts. Remiliterization in response to the growing threat of the Soviet Union was also forced upon the 80th Congress.
The Republican takeover of the 114th Congress had similar roots. Both Congress and the presidency have suffered the lowest public approval numbers ever recorded. The recession is starting to mend — as noted by the Fed's discontinuation of the widely unpopular Quantitative Easing program — with the Republicans looking to post-recession strategies.
The 113th Congress will end up passing fewer than 300 bills for presidential consideration.
Obama stayed largely out of sight in the election, stomping for very few Democratic candidates. Former President Bill Clinton took up the traditional role of the president, but even that was not enough.
There's no doubt the Democrats faced a bad map in 2014, but that is hardly the crux of the election. War weariness, increased terror threats, Obamacare, and executive orders were all hot-button issues for the Republicans at the polls.
In the first few hours after knowing the power change had taken place, many Republican lawmakers took back up the banner of derailing Obamacare as the defining issue of the next two years, while tea party favorites brought back up the issue of Obama's impeachment.
In all likelihood, the stigma of the do nothing Congress is going to stick. The 113th Congress will end up passing fewer than 300 bills for presidential consideration, with no end to the gridlock in sight.
The power shift that occurred with the 80th Congress was short-lived — only one session of Congress. Other than one more brief, single-session Republican lead, the Democrats would control Congress until the 1980s.
Presidential election years tend to get much more support and turnout. The 2014 election was marked by very low voter turnout, but 2016 is likely to be much higher.
A Ross Perot-style independent campaign with solid ideas and plans for American improvement may have a realistic shot at the 2016 campaign.
Truman spent the next two years focusing on jabbing at the Do Nothing Congress at every chance he got — and it paid off big. He retained the presidency and the Democrats took back Congress. Democrats are probably going to focus on a similar strategy.
Democrats and independents have two primary strategies — they slow things down with the gridlock tools in place or they give the Republicans enough rope to hang themselves with. The latter almost always tends to be a dangerous strategy.
We can most likely expect two years of wrangling over Senate closure, with the Democratic and independent senators stalling and slowing down Republican legislation.
But it won't be enough to slow things down; they need a meaningful alternative plan to the Republican platform.
Democrats need to take note from Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's criticism of the Republicans for only being against the Democrats, not for a viable alternative. Americans want answers, not partisanship.
A Ross Perot-style independent campaign with solid ideas and plans for American improvement may have a realistic shot at the 2016 campaign, as long as they are quick enough about laying the legal groundwork for launching the campaign. Americans are weary with partisanship — possibly weary enough to do something about it.
One thing is for certain, the 2016 congressional and presidential races start right now.

Q: django no such table: I have models in Django set up as below.
class Pupil(models.Model):
    forename = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    surname = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    dateofbirth = models.DateField()
    year = models.IntegerField()
    class_group = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    email = models.EmailField(blank=True)
    assignments = models.ManyToManyField('Assignment', verbose_name='related assignments')

    def __unicode__(self):
        return u'%s %s' % (self.forename, self.surname)

class Subject(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    level = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    teachers = models.ManyToManyField('Teacher', verbose_name='related teachers')

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

class Teacher(models.Model):
    forename = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    surname = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    email = models.EmailField(blank=True)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return u'%s %s' % (self.forename, self.surname)

class Assignment(models.Model):
    assignment_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    date_assigned = models.DateField()
    date_submitted = models.DateField()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.assignment_name

When I attempt to add a pupil and attach an assignment to the pupil in the admin, I get a database error -
no such table: homework_pupil_assignments

after reading this I realised this could be due to django not updating changes to my models as when I do manage.py sqlall homework
I see the following:
BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE "homework_pupil_assignments" (
    "id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    "pupil_id" integer NOT NULL,
    "assignment_id" integer NOT NULL,
    UNIQUE ("pupil_id", "assignment_id")
)
;
CREATE TABLE "homework_pupil" (
    "id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    "forename" varchar(30) NOT NULL,
    "surname" varchar(30) NOT NULL,
    "dateofbirth" date NOT NULL,
    "year" integer NOT NULL,
    "class_group" varchar(30) NOT NULL,
    "email" varchar(75) NOT NULL
)
;
CREATE TABLE "homework_subject_teachers" (
    "id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    "subject_id" integer NOT NULL,
    "teacher_id" integer NOT NULL,
    UNIQUE ("subject_id", "teacher_id")
)
;
CREATE TABLE "homework_subject" (
    "id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    "name" varchar(30) NOT NULL,
    "level" varchar(30) NOT NULL
)
;
CREATE TABLE "homework_teacher" (
    "id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    "forename" varchar(30) NOT NULL,
    "surname" varchar(30) NOT NULL,
    "email" varchar(75) NOT NULL
)
;
CREATE TABLE "homework_assignment" (
    "id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    "assignment_name" varchar(30) NOT NULL,
    "date_assigned" date NOT NULL,
    "date_submitted" date NOT NULL
)
;
COMMIT;

I then installed South, following the directions to get up and running with an existing app, in the hope of successfully syncing these tables. No joy.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the database (sqlite3) to reflect the models or point out what I'm doing wrong?

A: You can try this!
python manage.py migrate --run-syncdb

I have the same problem with Django 1.9 and 1.10. This code works!

A: . first step delete db.sqlite3 file
. go to terminal and run commands:

*

*python manage.py makemigrations

*python manage.py migrate

*python manage.py createsuperuser

*python manage.py runserver
. go to admin page
every thing ok now.

A: I think maybe you can try
python manage.py syncdb

Even sqlite3 need syncdb
sencondly, you can check your sql file name
it should look like xxx.s3db

A: One way to sync your database to your django models is to delete your database file and run makemigrations and migrate commands again. This will reflect your django models structure to your database from scratch. Although, make sure to backup your database file before deleting in case you need your records.
This solution worked for me since I wasn't much bothered about the data and just wanted my db and models structure to sync up.

A: sqlall just prints the SQL, it doesn't execute it. syncdb will create tables that aren't already created, but it won't modify existing tables.

A: Updated answer for Django migrations without south plugin:
Like T.T suggested in his answer, my previous answer was for south migration plugin, when Django hasn't any schema migration features.
Now (works in Django 1.9+):

You can try this!
python manage.py makemigrations

Outdated for south migrations plugin

As I can see you done it all in wrong order, to fix it up your should
  complete this checklist (I assume you can't delete sqlite3 database
  file to start over):

*

*Grab any SQLite GUI tool (i.e. http://sqliteadmin.orbmu2k.de/)

*Change your model definition to match database definition (best approach is to comment new fields)

*Delete migrations folder in your model

*Delete rows in south_migrationhistory table where app_name match your application name (probably homework)

*Invoke: ./manage.py schemamigration <app_name> --initial

*Create tables by ./manage.py migrate <app_name> --fake (--fake will skip SQL execute because table already exists in your database)

*Make changes to your app's model

*Invoke ./manage.py schemamigration <app_name> --auto

*Then apply changes to database: ./manage.py migrate <app_name>
Steps 7,8,9 repeat whenever your model needs any changes.

A: If you are using latest version of django 2.x or 1.11.x  then you have to first create migrations ,
python manage.py makemigrations

After that you just have to run migrate command for syncing database .
python manage.py migrate --run-syncdb

These will sync your database and python models and also second command will print all sql behind it.

A: (1) delete -> db.sqlite3
(2) your App -> migrations directory-> delete all 001_initial.py and others but dont delete __init__.py

(3) open terminal ->
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

A: First run: python manage.py makemigrations
Second run: python manage.py migrate


IR35 is a tax legislation designed to tax 'disguised employment'. It has as been around since 2000 with varying levels of success. With the present government on a mission to reclaim as much tax is it can, now seems a good time to clarify how a contractor can protect themselves.
Some background on the legislation can be found on the Wikipedia: IR35, the focus of this post is to explain the difference between a contractor and a normal employee and explain how the contract can protect the contractor from being 'inside IR35'.
Control: if a contractor is told by their client where, when and how to complete the tasks allocated on their contract, they have passed the control test.
Substitution: if a contractor cannot send a replacement, or a substitute, to complete the tasks for the client on their behalf, they have passed the substitution test.
Mutuality of obligation (MOO): if a contractor expects the client to give them work, and the client expects the contractor to complete it, they have passed the MOO test.
Clauses relating to start and finish times and contract duration ( amongst others ) are to be avoided – the freelancer should control when and how they work, not the client.
The substitution clause is necessary and needs to be realistic, if it can be shown that substitution has taken place "…there is little doubt that the contract is IR35 proof.".
"An IR35-proof contract must state the Client has no obligation to offer you more work and you have no obligation to take it…".
Also, there should be no clause allowing the client to veto other contracts, during or after the present contract.
The freelanceadvisor site suggests that if say the contractor is paid periodically rather than when a project milestone is achieved the invoice should detail work completed as well as hours or days worked.
Also, it would be normal to maintain professional indemnity insurance.
Simple – the contract should state the lack of these benefits!
"…The contract should always clarify the intentions of the Contractor and client (or agency) to be one of supplier and customer and not employee and employer. The nature of the work should be described accurately….
"The contract will be terminated at the end of the project or if there is a breach of contract…" I assume that if the contractor continues to work after the contract has finished and expects to be paid this evoke the 'mutuality of obligation' test.
Demonstrating that you have business assets and services will help, say a company website, previous experience of freelancing for multiple companies, have IT equipment, insurance or perhaps even a freelancers blog!
I believe by writing this post I've both gained knowledge and shared it and am now in a much better position to negotiate future contracts to avoid being vulnerable to the dangers of IR35.
What is a disguised employee?

Youth Lagoon has shared with us another track from his forthcoming new album Wondrous Bughouse. Whilst Dropla was a little more conventional Mute sees a much more experimental & psychedelic influence take the helm as the track evolves over hazy synths and guitars. Stream it above.
The album will be released March 5th via Fat Possum. You can pre-order it on CD/LP/Cassette here.
