I. STATEMENT OF FACTS
The plaintiff-appellant, Frank Basista, a resident of Duquesne, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, brought suit under § 1 of the Civil Rights Act of 1871, 17 Stat. 13, 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983, the Fourteenth Amendment, section 1, and the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. The defendants are Walter Weir, Chief of Police of Duquesne, Captain Charles Scalese, and Patrolman Vernon Smith of the Duquesne police force. Jurisdiction lies in the court below under § 1343, Title 28 U.S.C. See Hague v. C. I. O., 307 U.S. 496, 59 S.Ct. 954, 83 L.Ed. 1423 (1939).
Basista alleged that while in his home, Scalese and Smith or one of them, struck him in the back of his head without provocation and thus committed an assault and battery on him; arrested him without provocation or a warrant; denied him or failed to permit him to post bail or bond; and denied him counsel and medical aid while he was in jail.
The court below directed a verdict for Police Chief Weir on the basis that there was a failure of proof.1 Motions for directed verdict on behalf of the defendants Smith and Scalese were denied. The case was submitted to the jury which found for the defendant Smith but against the defendant Scalese, awarding Basista $1500 as punitive damages but no compensatory damages. The trial judge set aside the jury verdict, granting Scalese's motion for a directed verdict. Rule 50(b), Fed.R.Civ.Proc., 28 U.S.C. Basista v. Weir, 225 F.Supp. 619 (1964). Basista has appealed.
The operative facts are as follows: In the early evening on July 17, 1959, Smith and Scalese, both on duty and cruising in a patrol car, answered a complaint received from a Mrs. Blake, a sister-in-law of Scalese. Being informed that Basista had been there and had annoyed her, the two officers then proceeded to the rear of Basista's home which was a short distance from Mrs. Blake's home. When they arrived to investigate the complaint, Basista testified that while he had been drinking, he was not drunk and that he invited the police officers into his home; that Scalese entered the house while Smith remained on the porch, seated on a concrete banister. The conversation between Scalese and Basista became heated and twice Basista challenged Scalese to a man-to-man fight behind a shed or in a rock quarry to settle their personal differences. Scalese refused.
At this point their stories as they appear from the testimony differ widely. Basista testified that he asked Scalese whether he had a warrant and upon Scalese's answer that he had none, asked Scalese to leave. Basista testified that after asking Scalese to leave he, Basista, sat down facing away from the door whereupon he was struck on the back of the head by Scalese or Smith and was then dragged from his house, in view of his wife, his children and his neighbors. He then began to resist violently whereupon Smith came to Scalese's aid and Basista alleges he was thrown to the ground face down, handcuffed, and placed in a police car; that while in the car Scalese whipped him about his head with a billy club; and that Smith with Scalese then drove him to the Duquesne jail.
The testimony of Scalese and Smith was that Basista became loud, abusive and used foul language which could be heard by neighbors and passersby and by children playing in the street. Scalese testified that he warned Basista that if he continued such behavior that he would be arrested for disorderly conduct. Scalese testified that Basista continued his tirade and attacked the Duquesne police force as a "bunch of yellow-bellies" at which point he, Scalese, told Basista that he was under arrest. At this point Basista is alleged to have pushed through the door knocking Scalese onto Smith,
both Smith and Scalese wrestled Basista to the ground, subduing him and hand-cuffing him but using no more force than was necessary. Basista is alleged to have then ceased struggling and entered the police car peaceably only immediately thereafter to kick Smith who was in the driver's seat, in the back at his left shoulder. After this, according to the officers' testimony, he braced himself against the left rear door of the car, and rammed his head and shoulder into Scalese's stomach as he was entering the right rear door. The officers testified that Smith drove the car to the police station with Scalese and Basista in the somewhat unusual position indicated. It is not disputed that the siren was used on at least a part of the trip to the police station
Upon arriving at the police station Basista was placed immediately in a cell. He testified that he was in a dazed, injured, bleeding condition and requested medical aid, counsel and bail. It was not established to whom he made these requests. At any rate Scalese went about his duties and Smith returned to patrol. Both officers testified, and it was not contested, that once a prisoner is placed in a cell, as a matter of regular procedure it is the duty of the desk sergeant, who is also "turnkey," to inquire of a person in a cell as to whether he needs or wants medical aid, counsel, or bail.
In view of the jury's verdict, we must assume the facts were as testified to by the plaintiff's witnesses and must take those inferences from the evidence most favorable to Basista.
On the following morning Basista was given a hearing before a magistrate of the City of Duquesne and he was found guilty of disorderly conduct2 and fined $10 plus costs which were paid. He was held for court on two charges: (1) resisting arrest, and (2) assault and battery. The Court of Quarter Sessions of the Peace of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, after a non-jury trial, dismissed the charge of resisting arrest because of the failure of the police to have a warrant and found Basista guilty of assault and battery as set out more particularly hereinafter. He failed to appeal from this judgment and it became final. He then brought this action.
Prior to the date on which the operative facts, the basis of this action, occurred, and on May 9, 1959, Basista had been arrested on a charge of beating his wife. He was incarcerated over night and when he failed to appear before the magistrate on the next morning,3 a summary judgment was entered against him, and $200 which he had posted as bail was "forfeited." Basista attempted to obtain the return of this money the afternoon of July 17, 1959. He had a meeting with
the Mayor and for some reason unexplained by the record this meeting was also attended by Scalese and Chief Weir. Basista was informed that the money was paid into the city treasury and could not be returned.4
It does not appear with certainty who notified the police or who swore out the complaint on the wife-beating charge against Basista, but the inference can be drawn that it was Mrs. Blake. It seems that it was in respect to this charge that Basista went to Mrs. Blake's home on July 17, allegedly to "straighten her out." While Captain Scalese investigated the complaint regarding wife-beating, he did not arrest Basista on that charge. It appears also that Smith drove the patrol car when Basista was arrested for wife-beating. Chief Weir took no part in the arrest. The impact of these facts here is not too apparent. They are included herein by way of background material as a possible explanation of the cause of some of Basista's difficulties with the police.
II. WAS THERE A CAUSE OF ACTION UNDER THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT?
The Civil Rights Act, § 1983, provides: "Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress."
The Act prescribes two elements as requisite for recovery: (1) the conduct complained of must have been done by some person acting under color of law; and (2) such conduct must have subjected the complainant to the deprivation of rights, privileges, or immunities secured to him by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Marshall v. Sawyer, 301 F.2d 639, 646 (9 Cir. 1962). Of what rights was Basista deprived?
Basista asserts that he was denied the right to bail for a bailable offense, a right secured to him by the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. Chief Weir in his testimony indicated that he, at Basista's request, telephoned a Mr. Pucci with regard to obtaining bail. It is undisputed that Chief Weir was told, and that this was relayed to Basista, that bail would be furnished Basista the next day. In addition, it is not disputed that no one acting on Basista's behalf came to the jail and tendered bond or bail to the desk sergeant, who was in charge. It thus appears that if Basista remained in jail overnight, it was not because he was denied bail by any of these defendants, but because no one appeared on Basista's behalf to post bail. There is insufficient evidence to support Basista's charge of denial of bail.
Basista further alleges that he was denied medical aid. While Basista offered evidence of his need for medical aid, it does not appear that he...

The Committee evaluated the agreement reached between Ethiopia and Eritrea after 20 years of stalemate as a big success. The economic ties between the two countries laid a foundation to bring change in the horn of Africa and build Ethiopia's image at the global level.
Addis Ababa, January 18, 2019 (FBC) -Executive Committee of the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) concluded its meeting after a thorough deliberation on the gains made from the reform, problems faced while undertaking the reform and challenges ahead.
According to a statement issued following the end of the meeting, the Committee commended the measures taken as per the decisions of the 11th Organizational Congress of EPRDF to widen the political landscape.
The release of prisoners, the return of exiled political parties and armed group to the country, improvement in the protection of human rights, freedom of expression, and freedom of the press were stated as some of the gains made from the efforts made to expand the democratic space.
The political and security crisis which occurred in the past years have affected the economy and negatively contributed in the rise of unemployment and burden of government debt, shortage of foreign currency.
However, the storage of foreign currency was eased by encouraging the people to deposit foreign currency at banks and actively engaging the Ethiopian Diaspora in the development activities of their country of origin.
The coming of more women to power, the reconciliation held between religious institutions and their followers, security and justice system reforms, government's commitment and the active participation of the people to ensure the sustainability of the reforms were mentioned as success made from the nationwide reform.
The Committee also stated some challenges which it thought are a threat for the reform. Among the threats include mainly the deaths and displacement of people due to erroneous information being disseminated by anti-reform forces and extremists who were working to fulfill their own interests.
EPRDF is convinced that the people have strong support for the reform and trust on the leadership, the Committee said, adding they have also a national peace concern. Hence, the Committee put forward directions that should be implemented to bring peace and ensure rule of law.
Addressing problems of youth unemployment and responding to their questions for political participation and economic empowerment were mentioned are areas that require prime attention to bring peace and ensure rule of law.
Despite a favorable landscape, the media are not serving as voice of the people to the required level and they lack credibility in presenting news contents that help to promote unity of the people and build a better country, the Committee said.
Praising the dialogue launched between different political parties, the Committee urged some political parties that were preaching extremism to erode the unity of the people and operating in breach of the law to refrain from their actions.
The Committee called on them to contribute their share in the move to build a multiparty system in the country.
The Committee finally vowed to strengthen its efforts in the diplomatic fields by centering Ethiopia's National Interest.


The effect of apple and wheat fibers was studied on viability of Lactobacillus acidophilus in symbiotic yogurt and its physicochemical, sensory and rheological properties during 29 days storage at 5±1 ºC. The results of analysis showed that the number of Lactobacillus acidophilus in control and sample containing 0.5% fiber were reduced by 1 and 0.5 log cycle respectively and reached to 6 and 6.85 log cycle respectively at the end of storage period. But the sample containing 1% of fiber showed 0.25 log cycle increase in the number of Lactobacillus acidophilus at the same time and reached to 7.6 log cycle. This increase was higher in samples containing wheat fiber in comparison with those containing apple fiber (p<0.05). The samples containing fiber showed higher viscosity and lower syneresis in comparison with those not containing any fiber. The effect of wheat fiber on viscosity was higher than the effect of apple fiber (p<0.05). Increasing the amount of both fibers also caused samples to gain lower score for their color and taste. This decrease was obvious in samples containing apple fiber. Totally the samples containing 0.5% wheat fiber where known as best color and taste point of view between samples containing fiber. So it was concluded that using wheat fiber at the rate of 0.5% not only improved texture and chemical properties of yogurt but it could also provide the consumer satisfaction.

There are threats to the Basin now, and they could increase in the future. We are looking ahead and taking protective steps to avoid conflicts and shortages.
The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River Basin is critical to our economy. We must use the water wisely to help ensure that it remains at healthy levels and to maintain our region's competitive economic advantage.
On December 13, 2005, the Great Lakes Governors and Premiers signed the Great Lakes—St. Lawrence River Basin Sustainable Water Resources Agreement (Agreement). At the same time, the Governors endorsed the companion Great Lakes—St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact(Compact) which became law on December 8, 2008. These agreements, developed through the Council of Great Lakes Governors, detail how the States and Provinces will manage and protect the Basin and provide a framework for each State and Province to enact measures for its protection.
These International Agreements can be significant legal tools that Tribes and First Nations can use to protect their interests in the natural resources of the Great Lakes.

COVID-19 and The Queens Gambit provide an unlikely fillip to chess set makers Royal Chess Mall
By The Tribune Editorial Team on May 8, 2021
The unlikeliest of bed-fellows – pandemic-induced quarantines and a Netflix Original Miniseries – brought an unexpected windfall both for the game of chess and for chess set manufacturer-retailers from around the world.
Riding recent growth trends
Chess witnessed a spurt in global popularity over the last decade or so, much of which may be ascribed to the advent of a fresh crop of exciting young prodigies at the highest echelons of professional Chess.
The likes of the current world champion, Norwegian, Magnus Carlson; Italian-American grandmaster Fabiano Caruana; and Japanese-American grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura, all known for their aggressive styles, and for their penchant for the spectator-friendly Rapid and Blitz formats of the game.
Their meteoric rise captured the public imagination, both triggering and feeding off the exponential increase in mainstream media coverage of chess, its key protagonists, and the high-profile tournaments they participate in.
As one of the world's leading chess set suppliers, Royalchessmall , like many of its prominent cohorts in the space, had been riding the generally favorable global trends.
The general positivity around chess came to a crashing halt with the onset of COVID-19 in early 2020. Like most businesses, chess set makers were severely affected by the growth and spread of the dreaded virus. Production was hit and deliveries were stalled.
With much of the world in quarantine and essentials in short supply, public attention was far removed from avenues of recreation – so the demand for chess sets too, plunged dramatically.
The most worrying aspect for the industry was the utter lack of visibility required to chart any sort of recovery roadmap. Speaking of those dark days, Director at Royal Chess Mall, Sidharth Kapoor recalled 'I had no idea how to keep my guys motivated. I didn't know if I'd even be able to retain them."
A silver lining
Gradually, as the panic receded, the world came to grips with sustained indoor confinement, digital classrooms, and work-from-home scenarios. But with little to do around the house, people soon found they were starved for entertainment.
Screen-time rose steadily until parents realized they simply had to come up with healthier ways for the family to spend time indoors. As they actively sought out healthier activities that they could all take part in as a family, there was a renewed thrust on good old-fashioned board games.
Chess, as a game that stimulates the mind and hones the intellect, emerged as one of the preferred options – much to the relief of chess supplies manufacturers, who realized that they needed to swiftly adapt to the situation in order to seize the emerging opportunity.
Sisters chase away the COVID-induced lockdown blues.
With the gradual resurgence in demand for chess equipment, Chess equipment suppliers started pulling out the stops to develop a safety protocol that would allow for them to resume the delivery of their existing stocks, in response to a growing number of customer orders.
"Ironically, COVID-induced lockdowns turned into an unexpected blessing in disguise, that helped turn things around" quips Sidharth from royalchessmall.com. Turns out, that a pleasant surprise of even greater import lurked just around the corner!
Amidst one of the most virulent phases of the pandemic, October 23, 2020, saw the launch of the Netflix Original miniseries, The Queen's Gambit. Named after one of the oldest known openings in Chess that remains popular to this day, the show was based on a 1983 novel of the same name.
A fictitious biography of troubled but brilliant American chess prodigy, Elizabeth Harmon, the show traces her rise to the peak of the male-dominated world of professional chess, despite her continual struggles with alcohol and drug dependency.
The series was an unprecedented success and won both popular and critical acclaim. It was viewed by a worldwide audience of 62 million, was ranked as the #1 Netflix show across 63 countries, and earned high praise from contemporary grandmasters from around the world.
The TQG Effect
The series reignited public fascination around the game of chess. Specific games and chess sets featured on the show were endlessly discussed, analyzed, and dissected by legions of enthusiasts around the world on every conceivable online forum and platform.
Heightened interest inevitably turned into a desire to acquire, and chess sets – particularly replicas of sets featured prominently during the show – began to fly off the shelves of chess equipment suppliers around the world in record numbers.
The 1950s Soviet Latvian Chessmen used in the climactic match played

Kapoor's delight is palpable when he says '…not only did sales go up six-fold, but orders piled up to the point where we could not fulfill them. Best of all, many of our customers were willing to wait for weeks till our production line was back to operating at full capacity…'
A stunning turn-around
'So, between the lock-downs and The Queen's Gambit, our turn-around in fortunes is complete – and then some' grins Kapoor 'It couldn't have been scripted any better for us." he says with no small degree of smugness. But hey – can we blame him?

Interview with Architects vocalist Sam Carter
By Spencer Matulaitis 06/03/2009
Architects; not the rock band from the US, the proggy hardcore band from the UK, in one word? Awesome! What's not awesome though was the hideous infection which plagued my throat the night they were in town. I wanted to see them live so bad and couldn't because of the powers that be. Out of concern for the band and the need for me to rest and let the old breathe-hole heal itself, I sipped my green tea and sent the dudes an e-mail interview, check out how they view their new album, the women in Canada and their opinion on pretty hair on boys.
It's been 3 months and 10 days since the release of Hollow Crown, what has the response been like thus far?
Sam: It has been really really positive. The shows have been getting busier, Sing alongs louder. So, it's all going great.
There has been so much good press and so many great reviews posted on the internet and other media. How do you feel about your latest release?
Sam: Yeah dude it's great. Everyone has been super nice to us. It's my fave record of ours and I'm really proud of it so I'm glad it's going down well.
You have a video out for the song "Early Grave" off of your latest release. Can you give us a bit of insight into the video? Is it meant to relate to the song and is just a metaphor that's going right over my head or be an abstract narrative running parallel to the lyrics?
Sam: It's just an idea that the director and the band came up with about people walking through life not being honest putting on brave faces but when it comes down to it they don't have anything at all. It came out great.
Without labeling or placing you in a genre, as a band that actually sticks out in your genre, do you find it hard to appeal to the kids in a scene which is overflowing with generic bands?
Sam: No, not really. We just do what we do. No bullshit. Just five dudes that love music and having a good time. We do this for us. We make music we enjoy and people seem to like it. If people and the scene didn't like us we would still keep going.
You guys are hitting up Australia in August. What are you expecting from the nation that your home country used to dispose of their convicts?
Sam: It's going to be awesome we can't wait to get out there.
Do you ever feel that we're getting too old for this straight hair that's over mostly to one side of the face? (Note: I have the "emo" comb-over thing as well)
Sam: Ghd just brought out a new range so no.
Finally the most important question, which has the more attractive women, UK or Canada?
Sam: I don't know. You should ask our merch guy, cheers.

Lincoln's history revived at restored Ford's Theatre Museum
By Gretchen McKay January 15, 2011	0
Tags : Abraham Lincoln , Ford's Theatre , Peterson House , Washington D.C.
Categories : Travel
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Abraham Lincoln was mortally wounded by an assassin's bullet more than 144 years ago. Yet standing in front of the long black double-breasted frockcoat he wore to Ford's Theatre that night in April 1865, its plain gray buttons almost within touching distance behind a thick sheet of glass, our 16th president looms larger than life.
Exhibits showcasing the suit Lincoln wore the night of his assassination, the door leading to the famed theatre box and other relics from Ford's Theatre.
At 6 feet 4 inches, Lincoln was quite tall for his times. But it doesn't strike you just how far above his peers he towered until you're nose-to-nose with the life-size mannequin displaying the bloodstained clothes taken off his body as he lay dying in the Peterson House, across the street from the theater. The square-toed goatskin boots that climbed under his trousers to his shins are equally spellbinding, if surprisingly shabby for a president. The size 14 shoes are worn down at the heels.
Lincoln's oversized garments, of course, could be seen as an allegory for his place in history: The man was huge, in more ways than one. It's those in-your-face details, though, along with the variety of historical artifacts, videos and environmental re-creations displayed in the newly restored Ford's Theatre Museum on 10th Street NW in the nation's capital that bring Lincoln, his presidency and his assassination — the first of an American president — by John Wilkes Booth so vividly to life.
It took nearly two years and $3.5 million to turn the subterranean museum, which originally opened in 1932 on the first floor and moved to the basement in 1968, into a 6,868-square-foot, state-of-the-art exhibition space. It reopened to the public July 15, on the heels of a $25 million, 18-month renovation of the working theater that sits atop it. (The new Ford's Theatre made its debut in February.) You don't need a well-thumbed copy of Ronald White's "A. Lincoln: A Biography" on your bedside table to understand the wait was worth it.
The new museum, free to the public, boasts the same fantastic collection of original artifacts belonging to the National Park Service that drew upward of 1 million visitors a year to the old site. Many are related to the assassination and the co-conspirators' failed escape: Along with the thigh-high boot Dr. Samuel Mudd cut off Booth's broken left leg after he fled the theater and the medical kit from which the doomed physician drew his supplies, visitors get to see the large bowie knife George Atzerodt would have used to murder vice president Andrew Johnson had he not chickened out; a reward poster misspelling David Herold's name (it offered a $25,000 reward for "Harold's" capture); and the diary Booth scribbled in a leather appointment book during his 12 days on the run.
The palm-sized .44-caliber Philadelphia derringer pistol Booth used to shoot the president also is on display, seemingly suspended in air in its own case, along with a reproduction of the one-ounce lead bullet fired into the back of Lincoln's head. Visitors are encouraged to touch the latter.
Many other exhibits are brand new. Missing from the old museum was a historical context, an explanation of how the artifacts fit into the larger story of Lincoln's life and why his death was so traumatic to the nation's psyche. The new space helps stitch that story together by focusing not just on Lincoln's murder and its immediate aftermath but by exploring his growth as a politician and orator, and his four years in the White House.
The first thing visitors encounter after walking from the theater lobby through a recreated period rail car is a life-sized figure of You-Know-Who in a military cloak and cap. The eyes then are drawn to a knife, artillery goggles and pair of brass knuckles. In the days leading to Lincoln's first inauguration on Feb. 23, 1861, a sign explains, aides caught wind of a plot to assassinate him as he changed trains in Baltimore on his way from Illinois to Washington. Reluctantly, the president-elect agreed to a change in schedule that took him secretly through Baltimore in the dark, wee hours.
In reporting the event, a New York Times correspondent noted that Lincoln "wore a Scotch plaid cap and a very long military cloak, so that he was entirely unrecognizable." It wasn't true, of course, but the myth — which prompted the press to report he'd snuck into Washington "like a thief in the night"– is a good one. So the museum decided to include it anyway as a subtle reminder of the danger he faced in assuming office. (For the record, Lincoln's bodyguard really did give him the brass knuckles, although they were never used.)
Moving into the museum, visitors learn that "Washington City" was a "raw, unsanitary place" in the 1860s, with geese and pigs clogging its partially paved streets. It was also full of opportunists: a gaggle of cartoonish statuaries represents the army of office-seekers and influence-peddlers that filled the White House's corridors and offices from morning to night. Bios of Lincoln's "compromise" cabinet are displayed in files inside a (wink, wink) file cabinet.
Other displays explore the clashes between Lincoln and Chief Justice Roger B. Taney over slavery and secession, the skirmish at Fort Sumter, Lincoln's revolving door of Union generals and, on a lighter note, everyday life in the White House.
It's a chronological history, often told with the help of 21st-century technology. The Great Emancipator's Gettysburg Address, for instance, is narrated on film by the four living former presidents; a display that examines Lincoln's evolving views on slavery includes a video about his remarkable relationship with black abolitionist Frederick Douglass. (He was the first black person to have an audience with a president.)
It's all good, important stuff that will not only engage people intellectually, but also emotionally. Yet it's probably inevitable that most visitors will linger in front of the exhibits that recount the tragedy of April 15, 1865, and the greatest manhunt in American history that followed.
There's something horribly mesmerizing about looking at the pine board that Booth used to wedge the door shut to the president's box. Or the Treasury Guard flag that caught Booth's right spur as he leapt to the stage after stabbing Maj. Henry Rathbone.
Or the bloodstained pillow that cradled Lincoln's head as he laid diagonally on a bed at the Peterson House. And the hour-by-hour timeline of how Booth and Lincoln spent that fateful Good Friday — the former gathers supplies while the latter attends a three-hour cabinet meeting and then goes for a carriage ride — is riveting.
So, really, who can blame us?
Getting there: The Ford's Theatre National Historic Site (comprising the Ford's Theatre Museum, Theatre and the Peterson House) is on 10th Street between E and F streets in Washington, D.C. It is within walking distance of the Metro stops at Metro Center and Gallery Place (for schedules, visit www.wmata.com). There also are metered parking and parking garages nearby.
Hours: The site is open every day, except Dec. 25, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with final entry into the theater at 4:30 p.m.; Peterson House is open 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Keep in mind, though, that because this is an active theater, there will be times when the venue is closed for matinees, rehearsals and special events. After touring the museum, visitors can either walk through the theater or stay for a 30-minute presentation by the National Park Service or Ford's Theatre Society. There is no re-entry after exiting the building.
Admission: Free, but a timed ticket is required for visitors over the age of 2. Same-day tickets are available at the box office beginning at 8:30 a.m. on a first-come, first-served basis, with a limit of six tickets per person.

People make comments that hurt ego's because their ego is hurt and instead of them communicating their hurt, or communicating irritation in a proper way, they resort to hurting others. It's a way of shutting down which causes more pain. I think for the most part, pleasant people try their best to make others smile and feel better with their comments to comfort them or just to be an all around pleasant person that wants to spread love. Perhaps your inner self never agrees with hurtful or painful words, speaking on my own account, I spew harmful words when hurt deeply and feeling frustration from being unable to express my emotions. I also spew unpleasant words when people poor acid on my already festering wounds. I will say, I am trying to do a better job by holding myself accountable for what I say. But people should remember, although we all have a higher soul self, we are still human and experience human emotions. I think I answered everything, let me know your thoughts.
You are right but sometimes you have to act like that to avoid unnecessary arguments by those judgemental people who dont know anything about your story but are very quick to make negative comments about your actions. For those kinda reactions i try to be polite as much as i can by saying that i respect your views but i don't expect anyone to respect mine as it doesn't matter to me.
Some people get a kick out of being difficult to others. When it comes to a blog, it is a person's choice if he wants to read or not or comment or not.
A fruitful discussion that takes the topic somewhere or sheds light on it is indeed welcome. Simply being offensive because you don't agree with something, isn't.
I don't think these people spend any time with their inner selves. It is more like….go…see…read…react! Also, what about people who call your post Nice, Wonderful, Awesome and nothing more? Plugging their old unrelated posts to your post?
Hmm a thought provoking discussion. Is it then necessary or wanted when people comment saying what they honestly feel?? Is the truth people seek or do they seek to make themselves feel better than other by tearing at people's souls with their offensive comments? Do keep this discussion going even if it ventures off topic.
What if people don't know their comments are offensive?? And they say comments like such only around people who they think would not be offended??
I wasn't trying to rhyme, I promise. Damnit, I did it again.
Every platform has its own limitations, people often tend to forget that.. Saying bad words, negative points, insulting others gives them bliss often.. I believe ignorance is bliss here.. Arguing with insane doesn't make you sane..
What I'm learning is that anything we do or say can offend someone. If I post a glass of tap water, someone will be upset that I don't drink their brand of filtered water. Others are offended by a colour they don't like. The key, for me, is to anticipate how a negative person will react to what I'm going to say. When/if it happens, I either have a prepared answer or say nothing.
It is so nice of you…. I believe constructive criticism is always the best in this world..
Oooohhhhh …… I get it. I don't know but I tried to come up with a justifiable reason for the other person. In a kind way.. could I have done better?
Oh, so instead of making comments like no filter, saying what I would have done when asked, say nothing at all..
I'm scratching my brain trying to figure this out. If I've offended anyone, I apologize sincerely. It wasn't intended.
One more comment. How do you tell someone with "no filter" and an uncaring attitude they their comments hurt others without causing a riot, or turmoil??
hahaha…..(ithenneppatti aano?) "Please don't hesitate to offend me now, if you feel in the other way" – liked this part ma'am akhila!
I always believe that the comment should be an honest feedback of the reader. If he has a different point of view from that of the writer, he can definitely put it across well, without writing anything insulting. A positive comment makes the writer happy that his work is appreciated, while a critical comment helps the writer improve and grow!
Exactly that's my point..go ahead with constructive criticism and not any insulting words..
Very true words Akhila, there are people who spread light, warmth around them, and there are people who prefer hurting others, without thinking or deliberately, never realizing what you give out to universe sooner or later returns to you!
Don't respond to negative comments. Ignoring them is the best thing we can give those "hurt souls".
Okay let me tell how I handle it.. I just post a 🙂 then I watch it make them burn!
U know Akhila I do just that to make people happy and be a family even if they don't like it. Good read.
Some will make yo feel like a fool ,happend to me too .so called close frnd had to say that I can not decorate words when I started writing .Well its not that I don't like criticism but when people try to pull you down ,you just get it .
Positive comments appreciates and encourages the writer to write more ! If we can make someone happy with our few words , I don't think there is any harm . But yes, some people think being offensive made them popular or may be they grab some attention that's not true your few words may demoralize someone that's not acceptable at any cost !
Never my habit to poke anyone☺ …unless someone pokes me beyond my limits.
Thanks shefali. I am glad that we share the same feeling, and as you said, i too have control over my temper..
also for reply of such thought , coz for me nothing is more effective than a smile…. it could mean ignorance or satisfaction or both at a same time.
Affirmative comments leads to better production of good posts… it doesn't cost to be nice so I don't understand why people behave the opposite.
Anyway… nice post, people should read this.
Hmm… in my field it has a term called 'displacement'. Hurt souls try to seek peace by hurting others… stupid, but reality.
We can only give what we have, if somebody is offensive, that means he or she owns nothing but hurt deeply and sharing the same with the world.
We can be compassionate for them empathize with them.
May God fill them with love and compassion so that they can share abundance of same.
People can hurt us physically but not on emotional ground. It's more about how we perceive them . We can be compassionate and ignore them or get hurt with their offensive attack.
Here being short term memory as you said is boon .
This makes you even more successful as a blogger, as I had quoted that you can handle toddler and older one with equal grace.
Hats off to you as blogger.
We can't expect everybody to be good , it's not possible indeed , solution to this problem doesn't lies in them but in the self.
Ignoring them , can be one more option I believe.
I respect your views, you are right indeed.
Yaa..i agree with you on those who comment just for the sake..and ignorance is the best way to handle the other group of people..
My son started kindergarten and I have been very busy lately planning other things too…That's why took a little break. How have you been?
Certain people cannot survive without spilling venom. Haters gonna hate.

Q: secure django file permissions I am looking for a baseline set of file permissions to keep a django installation as secure as possible.
I cannot seem to find any obvious reference either on the Django site or Google.
Any links or clues?
I use Apache + mod_wsgi + django. I have no upload directories to permission.  This is a really basic setup.
I am currently running my code successfully thus:
/var/www/djangodir
                  /django
                  /3rdpartyapp
                  /myapp
                        /serverfiles/my.wsgi

all directorys:   755 owned by root.root
all files:        644 owned by root.root

exceptions to all files
-----------------------
settings.py file: 400  owned by apache.apache
my.wsgi:          400  owned by apache.apache

I dont like the 644 on all files and would like to tighten that up but can't seem to get away with 400 or 500.  The wsgi app cannot import anything from django if I do.
Help!

A: Use mod_wsgi daemon mode and have your Django application run in it. Set user/group for that daemon process group to be a special dedicated Django application user different to the Apache user. Have the WSGI script file you use be outside of the Django project area.
The directory containing the WSGI script file then can be 700 if owned by the Apache user. The  WSGI script file inside it need only be 400 and need not even be owned by the Apache user but could be owned by root or the dedicated Django application user. All the Apache user will need is the ability to see the WSGI script file in the directory, it will not need the ability to open the WSGI script file.
All your project code and virtual environment can then be in a directory structure owned by the dedicated Django user with all directories being 0700 and files readable/writeable as you see fit or as needed. Only the dedicated Django application user need have access because all accesses will be from the daemon process group running as that user.
By doing it this way you have restricted access so that the Apache user cannot even see your project code. That way if hosting other stuff on the same Apache, such as PHP, there is no risk that a break in to the PHP code can access the files.

A: Thanks for a great reply!  I don't know how you find the time to answer all the questions I've seen your fingerprints on all these years, but you are doing a huge service to the entire python/django/wsgi community.   I liked your blog entry: http://blog.dscpl.com.au 12/5/2012 about the dilution of good advice and goodwill on these forums.  It is definitely a challenge googling past all the nonsense out there.
Anyway, for anybody watching this thread, this works.
root.root:              755 /var/saas                   <- topdir
apache.apache:          755 /var/saas/wsgi              <- apache folder
vsn.vsn:                400 /var/saas/wsgi/vsn.wsgi     <- wsgi file
vsn.vsn:                700 /var/saas/vsn               <- django code
root.root:              700 /var/saas/scripts           <- operations scripts
root.root:              700 /var/saas/config            <- temp config folder
apache.apache           444 /var/www/html/static        <- destination of django's: python ./manage.py collectstatic

I couldn't get this to work with apache permissions 700, but I am happy with 755.  One of the great unsolved mysteries of apache I'm guessing.

iPhone App Store downloads top 10 million in first weekend
Monday, July 14, 2008, 05:40 am PT (08:40 am ET)
In addition to selling more than 1 million of its new iPhone 3G handsets since Friday, Apple announced that iPhone and iPod touch users also downloaded more than 10 million applications from the the company's new App Store during the same three-day period.
"The App Store is a grand slam, with a staggering 10 million applications downloaded in just three days," said Apple chief executive Steve Jobs. "Developers have created some extraordinary applications, and the App Store can wirelessly deliver them to every iPhone and iPod touch user instantly."
Having launched with just over 500 native iPhone and iPod touch-ready applications, Apple now says the number of apps available for download has swelled to more than 800. Over 200 of those applications are available for free and more than 90 percent remain priced at less than $10.
Many of these new applications take advantage of iPhone's large display, Multi-Touch user interface, fast hardware-accelerated 3D graphics, built-in accelerometer and location-based technology.
The App Store on iPhone works over cellular networks and Wi-Fi, which means it is accessible from just about anywhere, so users can purchase and download applications wirelessly and start using them instantly.
Applications are free or charged to the user's iTunes account and the App Store notifies the user when updates are available for their apps. Customers can also shop the App Store from iTunes running on a Mac or PC, which syncs applications to the iPhone or iPod touch using a USB cable.

Q: ActionView::Template::Error (can't convert Symbol into Integer) Doing one iteration with a hash in ruby, but some times in production(only on  production) getting this symbol error.
Controller
@d1 = Model.get_driver_details

Model
def get_driver_details
   driver_det = Hash.new
   driver_det[:driver_details] = Table.select('name as d_name, SUM(total) as
   total_count').group('driver.id')
end

Result
{:driver_details=>[{:d_name=>"Tomy", :total_count=>"25"}]}

Iteration
total_count = 0
@d1[:driver_details].each do |driver|
   total_count += driver[:total_count].to_f
end

So i am getting this error ActionView::Template::Error (can't convert Symbol into Integer) in this line @d1[:driver_details].each do |driver|

A: This method is not returning the driver_det hash, it's only returning one entry in the hash and that entry is an array. (so it expects an integer for indexing, hence the error)
def get_driver_details
   driver_det = Hash.new
   driver_det[:driver_details] = Table.select('name as d_name, SUM(total) as
   total_count').group('driver.id')
end

If you return the hash (reference it in the last line), you'll be ok.
def get_driver_details
   driver_det = Hash.new
   driver_det[:driver_details] = Table.select('name as d_name, SUM(total) as
   total_count').group('driver.id')
   driver_det
end

I assume you plan to support other keys in future?


Series Blurb: Today, the Earth's population exceeds 7 billion people. An ever-increasing number of those people are plugged into globalized technologies, patterns of consumption, and systems of commerce such that the ecological foundations of the planet are being pressured like never before. Our species' collective impact, especially as it triggers climate change and the destruction of worldwide biodiversity, is stretching the world beyond ecological breaking points. Identifying the problems is not enough; we are in desperate need of humane and insightful guidance.
This new series will feature authoritative voices ready to provide such guidance. No hand wringing or brow furrowing. The point is to provide a forum for leading experts to take their best shot at cutting a path through a particularly thorny thicket. Books in the series will explore and explain how particular expressions of environmental harm have come to be, what has been or is being done in response, and centrally, each monograph will chart pathways for future action. What will it take to move completely away from coal? What is needed to protect the oceans' dying coral reefs? How can the world halt illegal logging? What does a sustainable food future look like? Is climate engineering a viable option to help alleviate the effects of near-term climate change? What will it take to prevent the poaching of endangered species?
Though each book will be actions-oriented, the volumes will not be formulaic. The editors encourage intellectual creativity and invite authors to treat the books as extended essays rather than as academic treatises—to write with boldness and clarity in a voice that's distinctly their own. Some books will provide comparative assessment of attempts to tackle common problems in different places; others will be rooted in historical or scientific analysis. Some books will have calls for action directed principally at policymakers, others at educators, or even at future generations who must deal with and respond to sets of problems that will be handed to them. Most books should speak to the public at large. All books will play to authors' strong suits.
Expressions of interest from authors should be directed to Sikina Jinnah (sjinnah@ucsc.edu) and Simon Nicholson (simon.nicholson@american.edu).

Dr. Sikina Jinnah is an Associate Professor of Politics at University of California at Santa Cruz. She is also an 2017 Andrew Carnegie Fellow, and an affiliated faculty member at American University's School of International Service and at UCSC's Department of Environmental Studies.
Her research focuses on the shifting locations of power and influence in global environmental governance, and in particular the role of transnational actors in environmental decision-making. Her most recent projects examine how key norms in global climate politics shape power relations, the role of U.S. preferential trade agreements in shaping environmental policy in trading partner nations, and the politics of climate engineering governance.
Her first book ("Post-treaty Politics: Secretariat Influence in Global Environmental Governance," MIT Press 2014) received the 2016 Harold and Margaret Sprout Award for best book in international environmental affairs from the International Studies Association. The book examines the role of international bureaucracies in managing the politics of overlapping international regimes in the areas of biodiversity, climate change and international trade. Her second book (with Simon Nicholson), "New Earth Politics: Essays from the Anthropocene" (MIT Press 2016) engages leading scholars in a discussion over the role of global environmental politics in the age of the Anthropocene. Her forthcoming book, "Greening through Trade" (MIT 2020) examines the role of US preferential trade agreements in influencing environmental politics abroad.
Dr. Jinnah's research has also been published in several scholarly journals, including: Global Environmental Politics, Global Governance, International Studies Review, Environmental Politics, the Journal of Environment and Development, Environmental Research Letters, Berkeley Journal of International Law Publicist, Climate Policy, Georgetown International Environmental Law Review, and Science.
Jinnah currently serves on the editorial board for the journal Global Environmental Politics, is co-editor of Environmental Politics, is a Senior Research Fellow with the Earth System Governance project, and sits on the Board of Advisors of the Forum for Climate Engineering Assessment's (FCEA). Jinnah also co-edits an MIT Press book series (with Simon Nicholson), called One Planet.

Structural reforms more important than ever for a strong and balanced economic recovery
15/02/13 – Structural reforms offer governments a powerful tool to boost economic growth, create jobs and bring about a strong and balanced economic recovery, according to the OECD's latest Going for Growth report.
This year's report assesses and compares progress that countries have made on structural reforms since 2011 and takes a fresh look at reform priorities to revive growth sustainably and boost employment. It shows that the pace of reform has accelerated where it is most needed – in the European countries hardest hit by sovereign debt duress, including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
The report draws attention to the more moderate pace of reform in other euro area countries, notably those with current account surpluses, like Germany or the Netherlands. The highest-income OECD countries, like Norway, Switzerland and the United States, and key emerging-market economies are also shown to have made more limited progress on key reforms.
Sructural reforms can boost long-term growth and welfare but also underpin confidence and take some of the pressure off monetary and fiscal policies to buttress the recovery," said OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría. "The road to a strong recovery remains fraught with challenges but measures taken in Europe and the United States have reduced the likelihood of a worst-case scenario." Mr. Gurría said. "We have reached a point where bold and concerted action to get the right mix of macro and structural policies can make an upside scenario a real possibility."
Mr. Gurría presented the report in Moscow with the Russian Federation's finance minister Anton Siluanov, ahead of the 15-16 February meeting of G20 finance ministers. He said its key country-specific structural reform recommendations are applicable to OECD and G20 countries alike.
Since Going for Growth was launched in 2005, the annual report has identified key reform priorities to boost economic activity and raise living standards in each OECD country. Since 2011, the report also addresses reform potential in Brazil, India, Indonesia, China, the Russian Federation and South Africa - the so-called BRICS - and is the basis of the OECD's wider contribution to the G20 Framework for Strong, Sustainable and Balanced Growth.
"The good news is that many countries have stepped up their efforts in recent years" Mr. Gurría said. "Active reforms in surplus and deficit countries alike would help achieve a quicker rebalancing of the global world economy, both globally and in the euro area."
Dealing with the job market legacy of the crisis is a common challenge facing OECD and G20 countries, according to the report. Compared with previous editions, Going for Growth 2013 contains a marked increase in recommendations aimed at helping cash-strapped governments devise methods to maintain social benefits for the unemployed while improving labour market policies that will help get people back to work:
In Europe, where unemployment is still above pre-crisis levels, many countries (including Denmark, France, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden) still need to lower barriers to job creation, hiring and mobility, while improving incentives to take up work.
In Japan and Korea, raising the labour force participation of women is key, and will require better benefits systems and improved childcare policies.
In lower-income OECD countries (like Chile, Mexico and Turkey) and the BRICS, reducing informality is a common challenge, so governments must improve incentives to create and take jobs in the formal sector.
In the United States, unemployment has receded somewhat from its post-recession peak but the number of long-term unemployed and discouraged job seekers remain high, calling for programmes that provide training and employment services to be beefed up and streamlined.
One special feature of this year's report is to explore the side effects of pro-growth policies on other objectives, such as reducing income inequalities and preserving the environment. Fostering greater equity in access to education - a priority for quite a number of countries, in advanced and emerging economies of the G20 alike - is a good case in point. But the report also finds that shifting part of the tax burden from labour to consumption is good for growth but likely to widen income inequalities. These policy trade-offs need to be borne in mind when designing growth policy packages.
Further information on Going for Growth 2013 is available at: www.oecd.org/economy/going-for-growth-2013.htm.
Detailed individual country notes are available on all OECD and BRIICS countries.

«Структурые реформы как никогда ранее важны для уверенного и сбалансированного восстановления экономики», - утверждает ОЭСР


Dealers are optimistic about the current coin market due to heavy trading in precious metals and rare coins by both collectors and investors. With the metals posting strong gains in the last few days, more activity is expected. Proof Gold Eagles in the original government package are trading at $1,885 per ounce among dealers. The Proof Silver Eagles have been steadily rising, now at $67.50 each. One of the hottest coins on the market is the Silver Dollar. Circulated coins from culls to AU's are brisk sellers for many dealers. Very Good coins are now at $32,125 per bag of one thousand.
In this week's HD Wholesale Market Dealer Price Guide adjustments appear to be rather sparse. However, this is not a true indication of how active the market is as the year winds down. The market is solid at current levels and accurately graded coins are in demand. Half Dollars through the Dollar series remain hot spots for collectors and, if the coins have the + or CAC designation, even better. Better Date Morgan Dollars are showing signs of strength with some advancing. The following dates moved higher over the past few weeks.
U.S. Gold coins, especially the generic dates, have adjusted according to supply and demand by investors. Gold has changed very little since our last printed issue but there are still some changes. The $2 ½ Liberty Gold is higher in MS64 at $760, but the MS61-MS63 grades are down slightly. The $5 and $10 Liberty series are mostly flat since the last update; $20 Liberties are mostly higher from VF through the MS64 grades. Saints have also advanced in all grades up through MS66. The Twenties market seems to be attracting the majority of the trading at this time.

Kuala Lumpur announced as UNESCO World Book Capital City 2020
Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, has been confirmed as the 2020 UNESCO World Book Capital City to follow Athens (2018) and Sharjah (2019).
UNESCO Director-General, Audrey Azoulay, confirmed the city on 19th September following the recommendation of the World Book Capital Advisory Committee whose decision was based on the city's strong focus on inclusive education, the development of a knowledge-based society and accessible reading for all parts of the city's population.
Malaysian Book Publishers Association (MABOPA) President, Mr Ishak Hamzah said: The Kuala Lumpur World Book Capital 2020 bid was a joint effort between the book industry, government agencies, non-government organizations, and the Kuala Lumpur City Hall. We aspire to highlight Kuala Lumpur as a reading city that cares about the environment and people from all walks of life. This recognition from UNESCO would definitely boost the development of the local book industry in Kuala Lumpur and throughout Malaysia. We would like to thank IPA and IFLA that make up the advisory panel for trusting us to be the 20th Unesco World Book Capital.
IPA Secretary General, José Borghino added: I am delighted to see the enthusiastic reaction from one of our newest members. When I visited them In August I had to keep my lips sealed but now we can congratulate them loudly and openly. IPA is looking forward to celebrating with them in 2020.
With the slogan 'KL Baca – caring through reading,' the program focuses on four themes: reading in all its forms, development of the book industry infrastructure, inclusiveness and digital accessibility, and empowerment of children through reading. Among other events and activities there will be the construction of a book city (the Kota Buku Complex), a reading campaign for train commuters, enhancing of digital services and accessibility to the National Library of Malaysia for the disabled, and new digital services for libraries in 12 libraries in poor housing districts of Kuala Lumpur.
The city's objective is to foster a culture of reading and inclusiveness – 'A city that reads is a city that cares' – emphasizing ubiquitous access to books throughout the city. The city's ambitious programme for World Book Capital is linked to the Vision 2020 for Kuala Lumpur and the eco-city project called the 'River of Life' with open-air bookshops and libraries populating the newly-restored waterways of the city.
The year of celebrations will start on 23 April 2020, World Book and Copyright Day.
About the World Book Capital Cities
Cities designated as UNESCO World Book Capital undertake to promote books and reading and to organize activities over the year. As the twentieth city to bear the title since 2001, Kuala Lumpur follows Sharjah (2019), and Athens (2018). Past winners include Madrid (2001), Alexandria (2002), New Delhi (2003), Anvers (2004), Montreal (2005), Turin (2006), Bogota (2007), Amsterdam(2008), Beirut (2009), Ljubljana (2010), Buenos Aires (2011), Erevan (2012), Bangkok (2013), Port Harcourt (2014), Incheon (2015), Wroclaw (2016).
The World Book Capital Cities Advisory Committee comprises representatives of the International Publisher's Association (IPA), the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) and UNESCO.

Q: Who is reading my hard drive? (svchost) I am using Windows 7 Pro.  Using Process Monitor tool I see that Windows is constantly reading stuff and writing stuff to the hard drive.
Most of the time under Process Name I can see what program is reading what.  I am not always happy about what I see, as i.e why is process named Chrome.exe reading stuff when I am not actively using it?  Why are these various programs constantly reading and writing to various registry paths?  And so on.  But no matter, at least I know what software it is, so I can uninstall it or put blame on it if I need to.
But one process bugs me the most.  It is svchost.exe.  It is reading a lot of things, and I want to know more about who and what is behind svchost.  i.e.
Question:

*

*How do I find out what is the actual process/program that instructs svchost to read this or that file?

*I want to gather information to help me answer questions like "how do I turn off X", "how do I minimize writing from X",  "Do I even need X"?

Note:  this is part of my larger goal to minimize writing to HDD, because am installing SSD on my machine as an OS & Program only disk, and want to minimize I/O.

A: As far as I know, scvhost is just a system process for Windows. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svchost
You might be able to tinker with various Windows services but I think for the most part, it is what it is.
I wouldn't worry too much about I/O for your SSD. Unless you're doing constant, unusually disk-intensive work, I can't imagine that your SSD would be affected too greatly.

A: It is a system process that "hosts" Services, and these Services may not necessarily be System services. A service is usually just a process that runs in the background continuously
Try Process Explorer (by SysInternals also)
Right-click, go to a process's Properties and view the Services tab.
You can also get a bit more info in plain old Windows
In Resource Monitor...
(You can open it through Task Manager, on the Performance tab)
Go to the Disk tab, and look in the Disk Activity section. The "Image" (process) will be svchost.exe, but it will have a row for each different file the process is using, and the filename and location may give you an idea what it's doing.
Another tip: in Task Manager's Processes list you can go to Options and add a column called
Command Line. This shows you the full path and arguments used to start processes, which can give you a quick hint as to what these generic processes are doing.
