Can Wall Street thrive again?
BYGeoff Colvin
The financial industry is besieged by protestors. It's also facing a slow-growth world and a wave of new regulation. In order to flourish again, the big firms must first change in painful ways.
FORTUNE — The brighter side of financial cataclysm wasn't easy to see in late 2008 — the crisis was at its most acute, and no one knew if Armageddon lay ahead — but Barney Frank was upbeat. He told a consumer lobbying group, "Next year will be, I believe, the best year for public policy since the New Deal."
For anyone on Wall Street, that cheery forecast from the proudly big-government chairman of the House Financial Services Committee was not good news.
Frank was wrong only on the timing: It took until 2010 to enact the Dodd-Frank law, the most sweeping regulation of Wall Street since the New Deal. (With his crowning achievement in place, Frank recently announced he won't seek reelection next year.) The new law is so vast that it nearly equals all federal regulation of financial services from the previous 75 years.
That alone would have transformed the industry, but it's only part one of a double whammy. The other element is an awful economic environment — slow growth in the U.S., slowing growth in Asia, and a European crisis so severe that, for all we know, Armageddon could be creeping up on us again.
Combine those forces, and Wall Street is a deeply different place from what it was three years ago. The changes are a mixed bag for investors and even for customers, who were supposed to benefit from the massive regulatory overhaul. Though the new rules are far from complete, Wall Street is already becoming smaller and less adventurous.
It's also despised. The Occupiers may have begun to disperse, but the fury that fueled them hasn't. The latest Trust Barometer compiled by Edelman, a communications firm, finds that the three least trusted industries in the world are insurance, banking, and financial services — Wall Street.
10 best stocks for 2012
The industry's most immediate problem, worse even than its lousy reputation, is the terrible business climate. "The big firms are overextended, bloated in regions that are shrinking," says Meredith Whitney, the analyst who forecast the subprime disaster in 2007. "In past years, 70% to 80% of Wall Street revenue has come from the U.S. and Europe. Both continents are in the process of multiyear deleveraging. The firms have gale-force headwinds against them."
Today's ultralow interest rates are another headache — a fact that surprises many people. Some think the Fed is keeping rates low in order to rescue the banks by enabling them to obtain funds at low cost. Trouble is, the rates at which banks lend those funds are also hitting record lows. The spread between rates produces what bankers call net interest income, and "it's very hard to come by in this environment," says a former top bank executive. That's especially painful because "it goes straight to the bottom line." Many Wall Streeters would actually love to see long-term rates rise.
Regulatory upheaval, meanwhile, is only getting started. Dodd-Frank requires hundreds of new rules to be written, and Washington is way behind schedule — partly because Wall Street is lobbying aggressively to shape those rules. Expect another two to five years before they're finished. To see what's taking so long, and why Wall Street is nervous about what's coming, consider the new regulation with the highest profile of them all, the momentous Volcker Rule.
In concept it can be stated in one short sentence: Banks can't trade for their own account. In practice, the current draft is 288 pages and includes over 1,000 questions to which banks and anyone else may respond. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. will announce a final rule sometime next year. Then the banks and the FDIC can start arguing over what it means.
As currently drafted, the Volcker Rule is "a complete game changer," says Whitney. Beyond the ban on proprietary trading, for example, banks may no longer hold securities in inventory on the chance that a customer might want them; a customer must first state an intention to buy them. "I can't have anything in the dairy case. When you order, I've got to go out and find the cow," says Whitney. And that "slows the business down dramatically."
So will other new rules, especially the higher capital requirements that regulators are imposing. The effects of entirely new regulatory bodies created by Dodd-Frank are still mostly unknown. The Financial Stability Oversight Council is just getting started. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau doesn't yet have a director. They, and the hundreds of new rules still to be written, will shorten Wall Street's reach and hinder its speed. That's what they're meant to do.
The best and worst of Wall Street 2012
What is Wall Street's business model in a world like that? The phrase you keep hearing is "back to the future" — making money on fees for underwriting, M&A advice, and investment management rather than on highly leveraged proprietary trading. Good news for high-net-worth individuals: You'll be feeling lots more love. "Each of these firms is looking at wealth management," says a former top executive at one of them. No wonder: It's a high-return, low-volatility business. But building it is hard because those well-off clients are far more attached to their advisers than to the firms those advisers represent. Recruiting and developing an army of top-quality advisers take time.
A bigger challenge for Wall Street is that its turf is no longer the center of the financial universe. In 2005, five of the world's 10 most valuable banks were American, including four of the top five, led by No. 1 Citigroup (C) and No. 2 Bank of America (BAC); none of the top 10 were Chinese. Today four of the top 10 are Chinese, led by No. 1 Industrial & Commercial Bank of China and No. 2 China Construction Bank. Only four are American, the most valuable of which, Wells Fargo (WFC), is No. 4. David Rubenstein, managing director of the giant Carlyle Group private equity firm, poses the key questions: "Is the U.S. still able to dominate global financial markets? We were 46% of the world's GDP in 1960. Now we're 21%. Can we still have virtually 100% of the world's investment banks?"
The answer — no — is obvious. More broadly, Wall Street has to change in painful ways. The major firms, gloriously profitable just a few years ago, are not earning their cost of capital. They're failing, and everyone seems to agree on their near-term future: lower returns and lower profits. The firms have to get smaller, cut expenses, live less large, pay people less. The glory days are over.
But hold on. Wall Street's glory days are over every 10 years, like clockwork. They were over at the end of the '70s, after a decade of market stagnation; again at the end of the '80s, when takeovers and LBOs faded; at the end of the '90s, with the dotcom bust; and now with the subprime disaster. Every time, Wall Street comes back in new ways that no one imagined.
That pattern is hopeful for the firms. For Barney Frank and the legions of new regulators he helped to create, it's worrisome.

I really really like Cuphead. I think it's one of the most rewarding action platformers that I've ever played. That's, in part, because it's so dang tough. Victory tastes so much sweeter when you have to earn it.
But, we don't need things to be needlessly more difficult. The default controller configuration is far from optimal. For whatever reason, all the main actions are set to face buttons; on an Xbox controller, A jumps, X shoots, Y dashes, and B performs a super attack. It's nearly impossible to competently and consistently string together quick sequences, especially when you'll be holding down the shoot button most of the time.
Here's what I suggest: You feel those triggers on the back? Put them to good use! I assigned dash to the right trigger, so that my right thumb only had to worry about jump and shoot (and, less often, super attack). Chris one-upped me and bound the super attack to the left trigger. Or, if your brain more closely associates triggers with shooting, put that on the right trigger. Experiment, figure it out, see what works for you.
But, whatever you do, please change the default bindings. This game is too good to get weighed down by that nonsensical control scheme.

The Vilnius Goldsmiths' Workshop () was a workshop of goldsmiths in Vilnius, then capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which was established on 23 August, 1495 when Grand Duke Alexander Jagiellon approved its statute. Together with the Vilnius Tailors' Workshop they were the first workshops in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

History
The Vilnius Goldsmiths' Workshop was founded by a group of experienced goldsmiths who came from the most important centers of goldsmithing in Poland and Germany. They served the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vilnius, the territory up to the Daugava and the Dnieper Rivers. The goldsmiths worked for the Catholic Church, the manor of the Grand Duke of Lithuania, the Lithuanian nobility, the townspeople (e. g. masterpieces of the sacristy of the Vilnius Cathedral of the late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance).

Well known European goldsmiths worked in Vilnius. The goldsmiths of the manor of the ruler of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania purchased real estate in the capital, received privileges, and started families. During the reign of Grand Duke Stephen Báthory and the House of Vasa dynasty, the goldsmiths were retained from the treasury of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The number of craftsmen was not limited, they could come from different European cities.

The most important feature of the Vilnius Goldsmiths' Workshop, which distinguishes it from the Polish and German workshops, was its heterogeneity from the national and confessional point of view (the interests of Catholics and Orthodox differed). In the 16th – 17th centuries it had up to 10 craftsmen, in the second half of the 17th century it had the most members – 24, in 1882 – only 5 members. In the second half of the 17th century, descendants of Vilnian families (and Lithuanians) dominated, also the indigenous peoples of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania participated. Most of the students and apprentices came from the cities of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. There were about equal numbers of Catholic and Protestant goldsmiths, and two elders were elected from these two denominations.

During the prosperity period of the Vilnius Goldsmiths' Workshop in the 16th – 17th centuries, the goldsmiths controlled the trade of precious metals, precious stones and stood out for their wealth. The influential craftsmen were elected to the Magistrate of the City of Vilnius, as well as to the Seimas of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The workshop had a brick house (now Gaono Street 6, Vilnius).

Products of the Vilnius Goldsmiths' Workshop survived mostly in the Catholic churches of Lithuania. The 18th century products of Johann Friedrich Schömnick and J. Laris stands out for its artistry and are located in the Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Trakai, Lithuania. Another masterpiece of the Vilnius Goldsmiths' Workshop craftsmen is the reliquary and sarcophagus of Saint Casimir in the Chapel of Saint Casimir of Vilnius Cathedral, which was manufactured by J. K. Gronemann in 1747.

In the 19th century, the number of secular orders increased, however the products of the Vilnius Goldsmiths' Workshop were pushed out of the market due to the competition of Jewish goldsmiths and the spread of cheaper factory products.

Go from 0-60 in an astonishing 2.28 seconds
By Mark Jones, Komando.com
What pops into your mind when you think about electric vehicles? Most likely it's the amount of money you can save without having to purchase gasoline. According to Tesla's charging estimator, the average cost of driving 100 miles in a traditional car would cost $8.84 in gas, while its electric Model S costs $4.01 to charge. Not bad.
Many people assume that you are giving up power and speed when you drive an electric vehicle. Tesla is proving that line of thinking to be wrong.
What are Tesla's Model S 0-60 mph times?
What we're talking about is the 0-60 mph times for the Tesla Model S. The car manufacturer has been working on improving this and has hit a new milestone.
Researchers at Motor Trend recently got the new P100D model to go from 0-60 mph in 2.28 seconds. The researchers said, "The P100D reached 60 mph from a standstill more quickly than any other production vehicle we've ever tested, full stop." No other production car has been able to crack the 2.3-second barrier from 0-60 before.
This breakthrough led to a YouTuber on the Engineering Explained channel to dive into the science behind the super-fast acceleration speed. He said there are three key factors into going from 0-60 mph in under three seconds:
Power – This Telsa has an electric motor that achieves a combined 680 horsepower and 791 pound-feet of torque
AWD all wheel drive – The vehicle's power is distributed to all four wheels in its all wheel drive system
If you really want the techy details, watch the video that follows, it goes in-depth on how the Tesla accomplishes this acceleration speed.
Note: If you are reading this article using the Komando.com App, click here to watch the video detailing Tesla's acceleration speed.
Now that the myth of electric vehicles lacking power has been dispelled, it might be time to think about making the switch. The technology is constantly being improved.
Eventually, you could have an all electric, self-driving car taking you from work to home. The future is definitely bright.

This topic doesn't get spoken about too often. And in the recent Carnival of Business Analysts I published I felt that the actual step of analysing the requirements for value and thus for importance wasn't well addressed. So I looked further afield and came up with this information.
In a Master's thesis (Rashid Awan 2005) I recently read "Requirements Analysis" was bundled with "requirements negotiation" which makes sense. Rashid Awan explains these ideas as the process of determining what is and isn't in the scope of the technical solution.
How do you know what requirements are most important?
What will rarely work is asking people which requirements are most important. A common answer is that they are all important, otherwise they wouldn't be requirements. This view makes sense and often sensible and mature stakeholder have already demonstrated discipline by not bundling in any unnecessary requirements.
What follows is a brief discussion on some requirements analysis techniques. I expect it will be useful for new analysts, and that more experienced analysts may pick up one out two new ideas they can try out.
If you have a particular technique you would like to share, leave a comment or send me an email and I'll add it to this post.
Many analysts categorise requirements as mandatory or optional. Typically without the mandatory requirements fulfilled the solution simply won't work. The optional requirements tend to be about optimising the solution, and are often related to customer or user experience.
Ranking is a useful tool when only limited resources are available. Ranking requirements is core to Agile development which is a resource and time constrained mode of development. If we only have 2 weeks to build the next iteration what are the most important things to develop.
Which requirements contribute the greatest part of the value? The challenge with this approach is that it is often hard to isolate requirements and link them to specific value. It can often be done with effort but, as an example, how do you attribute a value to rules on passwords and how do you manage to determine that value on tight timeframes?
Last week I wrote an article on Requirements Risk Analysis for Modern Analyst. Some of the ideas in the article included identifying requirements that introduced risk to the project and thinking whether you should drop them as a way of avoiding the risk. Modifications and mitigations are also discussed as ways to manage requirements risk.
I like this model and have written about it before. It's about identifying what is going to delight a customer if delivered, and what is going to leave them dissatisfied if not delivered. There are various hybrid approaches to this model that make it simpler to deploy that the original model.
Basically ask you customers to rate requirements on Likert scale on two metrics; how much they like the requirement and how much they would be unhappy if it were omitted. You then plug them into the model and get insight into how the requirements are going to affect your client's perceptions of success.
Stakeholders have an enormous affect on whether projects are seen as successful or not. Different stakeholders have different views on what is important. If you take the time to understand who cares about which requirements and how they influence the end view of project effectiveness you can play to the right preferences.
In more complex projects where there are several components, or in projects which are built iteratively you need to sequence solution components in a particular order to accommodate functional dependencies.
Analysis leads to understanding what is most important and what can be left out of the solution. It also gives insight into the order things should be developed and the architecture of the solution.
"Mandatory" and "Optional" requirements? If you require something, isn't it, by definition, mandatory? "Optional Requirement" simply sounds like an oxymoron. I know it's just language, but wouldn't "Requirement" and "Desire" better capture the difference?
We *require* that the system does X.
We *desire* that it can do Y.
Andrew I agree. Personally the term requirements feels almost universally inappropriate to me.
Perhaps it is only things like brand compliance, security (and things that are often called 'non functional requirements') that are truly non negotiable.

Accidents and deaths continue to spark safety concerns along the Oregon Coast, and the list of possible solutions is as serpentine as the 363-mile coastline itself.
The draw of the ocean is compelling, and it's easy to understand why so many feel the tug to visit. The tourism economy is predominant in Oregon, and the coast is a significant part of that equation. No one wants to put a kink in that chain.
But with more than a half dozen deaths at Cape Kiwanda in the past two years, and four rescue operations at God's Thumb in Lincoln City this year alone, and now two deaths in Depoe Bay, perhaps it's time to look at the problem from a different perspective.
If visitors ignore their personal responsibility when they're recreating outdoors, is it state and local government's job to keep a constant vigil to cushion them from that risk?
Sparking concern:Four accidents on God's Thumb spur concern, new plan in Lincoln City
Lawsuit:Family of boy who drowned in the Pacific Ocean sues Oregon city
More deaths:Couple who immigrated from China killed on Oregon Coast
Oregon parks officials have posted myriad warning signs and erected fencing on the sand dune at the Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area. Still, people ignore the signs. They climb, no trample, over the fencing to experience the thrill of being on the bluff.
A couple who recently moved to Oregon were swept into the ocean this week near Depoe Bay leaving behind a young child. It's likely they climbed over a guardrail to get down to where they were said to have been gathering mussels.
God's Thumb has fewer signs and no official trailhead or trail. Some areas, like Depoe Bay, have little more than a guardrail.
Disregarding warnings and barriers carries inherent risk. For many of us, signs and barriers are deterrent enough. But others like to walk on the wild side.
That a child has been orphaned is heartbreaking. But beyond outreach, what is local government's responsibility?
Four suggestions:
Make sure signs are current and plentiful. Ensure they are in multiple languages as well. If Oregon is pitching itself as a destination, it should be prepared for travelers who don't speak English.
Ensure barriers are strong and secure. A 10-foot high brick wall blocking views of the ocean along the Oregon Coast Highway (U.S. 101) is unnecessary, but gaps in guardrails should be closed. Signs advising visitors of dangers should be posted early and often.
In many areas along the coast, there should be signs warning that there are no lifeguards on duty. They should be as frequent as the tsunami advisories and signals.
Local agency websites shouldn't use scare tactics, but they should advise that portions of the coast are unsafe for climbing and hiking, and feature reminders that visitors should stay on marked trails.
There are plenty of people who don't believe rules apply to them. No amount of signage, barrier, or advice is going to sway them from their belief that they can go where they want whenever they want.
At some point, though, the government can and should say "we've done our job, the rest is up to the public."

A safer way:Once-secret hike to God's Thumb features Lincoln City's most dramatic views


On Feb 11 Gavin (and Spencer) had his 15 month check up. Not gonna lie – I was a little apprehensive about the appt. At the boys' last well visit in December we found out that Gavin hadn't grown from his 9 month well visit. We've been calorie loading this kid like crazy and it paid off! The measurement I am most concerned about is his head, and it GREW!!!!! 1.5cm (which is the exact size Spencer's grew – TWINS!) He picked up about 2 inches in height and a little with his weight. Not too worried about his weight only because he's had a bad cold so is having trouble breathing/eating/drinking. Once his cold is gone he'll start bulking up again and get him re-weighed so we have a better sense of month-to-month growth.
And now for the BIG NEWS!!
We are huge believers in teaching sign language to our kids. Bailey learned it from a young age and I think it helped to alleviate some of her frustration as she learned to talk – if she couldn't find the word she wanted to say, she signed it. Spencer has already mastered "more" (kid is 25lbs – need I say more?!) and is moving onto other words as he learns to say them. I have been concerned with Gavin because he is delayed with speech and unless you hold up options for him (he'll use his eyes to stare at what he wants) or look for his cues it's hard to determine what he wants/needs. Well last night there was NO guessing. I made blueberry pancakes for dinner and decided Gavin was going to have some. I made sure the pieces were nice and small and easy for him to eat. I asked if he wanted "more" using the sign for "more" – although made it look more like what he would be able to physically do. Unlike Bailey or Spencer (or the rest of us for that matter) Gavin doesn't have a lot of dexterity in his fingers so for him, "more" isn't the finger tips coming together – it's his fists coming together. It took him some time (as most things do) and several frustrating set backs but he was eventually able to sign "more" – a total of FOUR times! At the same time he also gave his "normal" cue for "more" by opening his mouth. Guess he wanted to make sure I KNEW he was still hungry. It wasn't fluid or "pretty" but it got the job done.
For the first time my son was really able to communicate with me and man was that awesome!!
Kate, it's through tears that I'm writing this! Tears of joy for all of you. I'm so happy that you seem to have found a great doctor for him. Miracles do happen and there will be "more." As always, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Kate–so very happy for Gavin's progress. So glad to hear about the updates. Stay well and positive!!!

More efficient growing with a second energy screen
Installing a second, moveable energy screen, Luxous 1347 H2no FR, in his tomato greenhouse turned out to be a good move for grower Erwin Theeuwen. "I'm able to optimize the play between heat and humidity by using two climate screens."
Theeuwen had a second energy screen installed, a LUXOUS 1347 H2no FR (Flame Retardent), beneath his LUXOUS 1243 D screen, which was installed earlier in his tomato greenhouse. By using this new climate screen, Theeuwen is able to respond to the circumstances better. He certainly was able use it to his benefit last winter, which was an unusually mild winter. The energy screen remained closed all winter allowing moisture to be easily extracted into the ventilated upper area by means of the threads in the knitted climate screen. This past spring, Theeuwen already saved 2.5 to 3m3 in natural gas.
He was able to achieve these positive results because the strips of foil in the H2no screen cause a film of water and not droplets to be created as a result of condensation. That improves light transmission by up to 10 percent. Droplets of water reflect a portion of the incoming natural light back out, but a film of water allows the light to pass through. The light transmitted by a screen with a film of water is even one percent greater than what is transmissted through a dry screen. This means that the screen may be used longer during the day.
Before, Theeuwen already finished using the screens in April. Now, the climate screen is kept closed when it's cold in the mornings or it is closed at the end of the day. This cools the plant more gradually and allows him to be able to convert more of the daylight into assimilates and rates of growth. This allows the supply to the top of the plant to remain constant, meaning that the top will not become too coarse. No additional energy will have to be given to the plant again at another time.
Theeuwen calls his investment in a second climate panel "a step towards more efficient growing and increasing yields." He also combines the double screen with dehumidifying equipment. "You can optimise the play between heat and humidity," according to Theeuwen. He has proven by using the two energy screens that you can work with The New Cultivation (Het Nieuwe Telen) in different way and still save 20 to 25 percent in energy.
Magazine: Groenten & Fruit Tomatenspecial
Edition: June 2016
An important point of consideration is the timely replacement of the screens. Over the course of the years, energy savings and the rate of light transmittance will most certainly decrease. Our specialists will be happy to come by for a personal consultation:

Q: Swift: Cannot assign a value of type 'Any' to a value of type 'AnyObject?' I habe written a function, that updates data in parse
    func updateParse(className: String, whereKey: String, equalTo: String, updateData: Dictionary<String, Any>) {

    let query = PFQuery(className: className)

    query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {
        (objects, error) -> Void in

        if error == nil {
            if let objects = objects as? [PFObject] {
                for object in objects {
                    query.getObjectInBackgroundWithId(object.objectId!){
                        (prefObj, error) -> Void in
                        if error != nil {
                            print(error)
                        } else if let prefObj = prefObj {

                                for (key, value) in updateData {

                                    prefObj[key] = value // Cannot assign a value of type 'Any' to a value of type 'AnyObject?'

                                }
                            prefObj.saveInBackground()
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        } else {
            print("Error: \(error!)")
        }

    }

}

i call it with
let imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self.uploadPreviewImage.image!)
let parseImageFile =  PFFile(name: "userProfileImage.png", data: imageData!)

updateParse("ProfileImages", whereKey: "uploader", equalTo: "Phil", updateData: ["imageFile":parseImageFile])

I have commented the error in the corresponding line.
It is important to note that the type is not always a picture. Sometimes a string.

A: If you know that the type is always of type AnyObject you can use a forced cast:
prefObj[key] = value as! AnyObject

Otherwise use an optional cast with as? or change the function signature to:
func updateParse(className: String, whereKey: String, equalTo: String, updateData: Dictionary<String, AnyObject>)

A: first of all you are overriding the variable 'prefObj ' here
if error != nil {
    print(error)
} else if let prefObj = prefObj { //does not make sence
...
}

try this:
if error != nil {
    print(error)
} else if var prefObj_NotNullUnwrapped = prefObj { // you can use let instead of var
...
}

it's untested but this is the way how to do
var means you can change the reference of the variable stored
let tells the compiler that the variable reference will not change
i am not quite shure if your error really relates on it because you are attempting to change a variable inside a "let" variable
Also your parameter in the message signature does not fit, try changing it to:
func updateParse(className: String, whereKey: String, equalTo: String, updateData: Dictionary<String, AnyObject?>)

See also this stackoverflow question which explains the difference between Any (all types including Int, Double etc.) and AnyObject (only "real" class objects)
The questionmark on AnyObject? tells the compiler that a variable might be without a reference, also known as nil

Q: Django user model extension in an ecommerce application I have a django ecommerce project that works fine till I decided to improve it. I let users place order on certain services but every time they place an order they have to always input their details (name, emil, address etc) so I decided to upgrade the application so that user can add their billing address and it can be referenced in the order or continue as a guest.
Model
class Order(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    email = models.EmailField()
    address = models.CharField(max_length=250)
    postal_code = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    city = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    paid = models.BooleanField(default=False)

class OrderItem(models.Model):
    order = models.ForeignKey(Order, related_name='items')
    product = models.ForeignKey(Product,related_name='order_items')
    price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    quantity = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=1)

view
def order_create(request):
    cart = Cart(request)
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = OrderCreateForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            order = form.save()
            for item in cart:
            OrderItem.objects.create(order=order, product=item['product'],price=item['price'], quantity=item['quantity'])
            cart.clear()
            return render(request,'order/created.html', {'order': order})
    else:
        form = OrderCreateForm()
    return render(request, 'order/create.html',{'cart': cart, 'form': form})

I then created an account app and extended django user so that user can register address and mobile so that the user does not have to type it every time he/she wants to place an order.
my new model is
class Order(models.Model):
    account = models.ForeignKey(Account, related_name='user_account')
    created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    paid = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    coupon = models.ForeignKey(Coupon, related_name='orders',null=True,blank=True)
    discount = models.IntegerField(default=0,validators=[MinValueValidator(0), MaxValueValidator(100)])

I am confused on how to code for my view. any assistance would help and I also have
def admin_order_detail(request, order_id):
    order = get_object_or_404(Order, id=order_id)
    #account = Account.objects.filter(request.user)
    context = {
        'order': order,
        }
    template = 'order/detail.html'
    return render(request,template,context)

to be able to view the order details in the admin area but I am only able to extend the FUll name, Email and phone number. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
A copy of all codes from github
https://github.com/Olar19/ecommerce

A: This is a great idea to leverage the built in User object.  Django is very "batteries included" meaning that it comes with much more out-of-the-box than say Flask and to me a large part of that the User auth system.
Normally you'll extend the User object with a one-to-one field which in your context looks like the Account object.
more detail on one-to-one fields (from the docs)
If you were B2B vice B2C then you may want the Account object to house the company name and then assign employees to that account where the Employee object would then be the extension from User.
So assuming the Account object looks something like:
class Account(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    bio = models.TextField(max_length=500, blank=True)
    ...

You could then access Account and User Objects from the Order Object.
order = get_object_or_404(Order, id=order_id)
username = order.user_account.username

or for permissions type stuff
orders = Order.objects.filter(user_account__user = request.user)

A: What you are trying to do is something very common and reasonable to want to do. There are two main ways to add additional information to the Django User model. 1) You can override the django User model and define your own custom model or 2) you can create another model, say UserData, and have UserData have a OneToOneField connection with Django's User model. Thus, for every user, there is an associated UserData that stores the additional field information you need. It is difficult and not recommended to do option 1 in the middle of an existing project, so I would recommend transitioning to option 2.
The django documentation is very good on how to create a UserData model and link it to the User model. You can read about it here. A key note on this approach is that you need to a) go back and create a UserData object for all existing users (if any exist) and b) need to make sure to create a UserData object every time a user registers a user account on your website.
class UserData(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, default=0, related_name="userdata")
    # other fields ...

Now in your views, you can access the user data as such:
def admin_order_detail(request):
    ud = request.user.userdata

When you then want to access user data in a view, it is
I just looked over your code and it looks like you are not currently use Django's User system to have users register and login. I think a first step would be to read over the django documentation on the user auth system (here). Then, try and integrate user auth into your application. Finally, you can then create a custom userdata class to extend the user model.
Good luck!

A: you can use
order.account.user

if you want to join from order to user must use account (field name not related name)
if you want to join from account instance to orders can use this:
account.user_account.all()

related name is inverted access name. access from related object
so Its better to name related name of account field to orders

A: I think you should just create a Account model extending the AbstractUser with Email, Address as a OneToMany Field, to allow one user to have multiple addresses. Address can be a model with fields like

Name , Address Line 1 , Address Line 2 , postal_code, City , State ,
  User(fk)

or a single text-field containing all-info and user-fk.
WhenEver a user chooses one of his address , you can just add address entry to Order-model for that corresponding order, this allows customer to select from one or more than one already provided address.
class Order(models.Model):
    account = models.ForeignKey(Account, related_name='user_account')
    address = models.ForeignKey(Address, related_name='address')
    created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    paid = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    coupon = models.ForeignKey(Coupon, related_name='orders',null=True,blank=True)
    discount = models.IntegerField(default=0,validators=[MinValueValidator(0), MaxValueValidator(100)])

This also enables us to retrieve both account-details and address for a given order via order.account and order.address .

2015 Report Cards
House Cmte. Chairs/RkMembs
Writing Bipartisan Bills
House Cmte. Chairs/RkMembs / Writing Bipartisan Bills
These special year-end statistics dissect the legislative records of Members of Congress during the 2015 legislative year (Jan 6, 2015-Dec 31, 2015), looking at Members who served at the end of that period. This page was last updated on Jan 9, 2016.
A higher or lower number below doesn't necessarily make a legislator any better or worse, or more or less effective, than other Members of Congress. We present these statistics for you to understand the quantitative aspects of legislating and make your own judgements based on what legislative activities you think are important.
Keep in mind that there are many important aspects of being a legislator besides what can be measured, such as constituent services and performing oversight of the executive branch, which aren't reflected here.
Look at report cards for...
All Representatives (440)
Safe House Seats (385)
House Republicans (247)
House Democrats (192)
Serving 10+ Years (House) (169)
All Senators (100)
House Sophomores (73)
House Freshmen (64)
Competitive House Seats (55)

Only Members of Congress who sponsored more than 10 bills and resolutions are included in this statistic.
The Speaker's Votes: Missed votes are not computed for the Speaker of the House. According to current House rules, the Speaker of the House is not required to vote in "ordinary legislative proceedings." In practice this means the Speaker of the House rarely votes but is not considered absent.
Leadership/Ideology: The leadership and ideology scores are not displayed for Members of Congress who introduced fewer than 10 bills, or, for ideology, for Members of Congress that have a low leadership score, as there is usually not enough data in these cases to compute reliable leadership and ideology statistics.
Missing Bills: We exclude bills from some statistics where the sponsor's original intent is not in the final bill because the bill's text was replaced in whole with unrelated provisions (i.e. it became a vehicle for passage of unrelated provisions).
Ranking Members (RkMembs): The chair of a committee is always selected from the political party that holds the most seats in the chamber, called the "majority party". The "ranking member" (sometimes "RkMembs") is the title given to the senior-most member of the committee not in the majority party.
Freshmen/Sophomores: Freshmen and sophomores are Members of Congress whose first term (in the same chamber at the end of 2015) was the 114th Congress (freshmen) or 113th (sophomores). Members of Congress who took office within the last few months of a Congress are considered freshmen in the next Congress as well.


The problem of robust and invariant representation of places is being addressed. A place recognition technique is proposed followed by an application to a semantic topological mapping. The proposed technique is evaluated on a robot localization database which consists of a large set of images taken under various weather conditions. The results show that the proposed method can robustly recognize the places and is invariant to geometric transformations, brightness changes and noise. The comparative analysis with the state-of-the-art semantic place description methods show that the method outperforms the competing methods and exhibits better average recognition rates.

>> Definitions and explanations contents
A private household (household) is a group of people living together and sharing their income for covering the basic costs of living (accommodation, food, other consumer goods, etc.) or a person living alone.
Data on households refer to private households if not otherwise stated.
An institutional household is a group of people whose food, accommodation, etc., is provided for by the institution in which they live.
Type of household is the characteristic of household irrespective of whether people in them are living in family or non-family communities.
A family household is a household composed of:
members of one family;
members of several families;
members of one or several families and persons who are not members of these families but live together and share their income for covering the basic costs of living.
A non-family household is:
a single-person household;
a community of two or more persons who are related (e.g. a brother and a sister, a grandmother and a grandson) but are not a family;
a community of two or more persons who are not related.
Data on the number of households and the average size of households for the 1991 Census were recalculated so that migrant workers are no longer considered to be members of households.
Average size of household is the ratio between the number of population living in an administrative spatial unit in private households and the number of private households in this unit.
Tenure status refers to arrangements under which a household occupies all or part of a dwelling.
One-family household is a household where all members belong to one family or a household in which members of one family live together with other people who do not belong to any family.
Multi-family household is a household where members belong to at least two families or a household in which members of at least two families live together with other people who do not belong to any family.
Garage could be:
- part of an individual house
- part of a multi-dwelling house
- an independent construction
- in a parking garage (above ground or under ground).
Ownership of the garage is not important, so a household can use own and/or rented garage.
Production of food comprises production for home consumption and/or for market regardless of the area and ownership of the land used for this purpose.

§ 101.591 Voting system audit.
This statute governs the process by which the county canvassing boards audit the voting systems after every election. The boards must conduct either a manual audit or an automated audit right after finishing the certification of the election. Manual audits involve a public, manual counting of the votes cast in one race on the ballot. The automated audit involves a public, automated count of the votes in every race on the ballot. The division of elections is responsible for adopting rules to approve the audit system. The county canvassing boards have 15 days after finishing the audit to send the Department of State a report that includes the results of the audit.
(1) Immediately following the certification of each election, the county canvassing board or the local board responsible for certifying the election shall conduct a manual audit or an automated, independent audit of the voting systems used in randomly selected precincts.
(2)(a) A manual audit shall consist of a public manual tally of the votes cast in one randomly selected race that appears on the ballot. The tally sheet shall include election-day, vote-by-mail, early voting, provisional, and overseas ballots, in at least 1 percent but no more than 2 percent of the precincts chosen at random by the county canvassing board or the local board responsible for certifying the election. If 1 percent of the precincts is less than one entire precinct, the audit shall be conducted using at least one precinct chosen at random by the county canvassing board or the local board responsible for certifying the election. Such precincts shall be selected at a publicly noticed canvassing board meeting.
(b) An automated audit shall consist of a public automated tally of the votes cast across every race that appears on the ballot. The tally sheet shall include election day, vote-by-mail, early voting, provisional, and overseas ballots in at least 20 percent of the precincts chosen at random by the county canvassing board or the local board responsible for certifying the election. Such precincts shall be selected at a publicly noticed canvassing board meeting.
(c) The division shall adopt rules for approval of an independent audit system which provide that the system, at a minimum, must be:
Completely independent of the primary voting system.
Fast enough to produce final audit results within the timeframe prescribed in subsection (4).
Capable of demonstrating that the ballots of record have been accurately adjudicated by the audit system.
(3) The canvassing board shall post a notice of the audit, including the date, time, and place, in four conspicuous places in the county and on the home page of the county supervisor of elections website.
(4) The audit must be completed and the results made public no later than 11:59 p.m. on the 7th day following certification of the election by the county canvassing board or the local board responsible for certifying the election.
(5) Within 15 days after completion of the audit, the county canvassing board or the board responsible for certifying the election shall provide a report with the results of the audit to the Department of State in a standard format as prescribed by the department. The report shall contain, but is not limited to, the following items:
(a) The overall accuracy of audit.
(b) A description of any problems or discrepancies encountered.
(c) The likely cause of such problems or discrepancies.
(d) Recommended corrective action with respect to avoiding or mitigating such circumstances in future elections.
(6) If a manual recount is undertaken pursuant to s. 102.166, the canvassing board is not required to perform the audit provided for in this section.
s. 14, ch. 89-348; s. 41, ch. 97-13; s. 8, ch. 2007-30; s. 36, ch. 2011-40; s. 10, ch. 2013-57; s. 14, ch. 2016-37.
Annotation: February 16, 2016 1:43 pm
Although the audit is conducted after the certification of official results, the audit results are made public prior to end of the contest period. If the audit shows a discrepancy sufficient to change the outcome of the election, there is still sufficient time to contest the election pursuant to s. 102.168, F.S.

Mental Illness Among Youth
NewsChina, Chinese Edition December 13, 2021
By NewsChina Updated Feb.1
According to a survey of 74,000 children and teenagers on mental illness in Beijing and the provinces of Liaoning, Jiangsu, Hunan and Sichuan in May 2021, 17.5 percent of students aged between 6 and 16 suffered from mental illness, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, depressive disorder and tic disorder. The World Health Organization says child- hood and adolescence are critical periods for developing and main- taining social and emotional patterns, and that 10 to 20 percent of the age group worldwide have mental illness, but have not received any significant intervention. Mental illness in many adults started in childhood and it is crucial to pinpoint problems and intervene as early as possible. The survey also showed that depression in children and teenagers is closely connected with social and cultural factors, which means there are problems with family, school or society. Experts said there is an urgent need to address mental illness in young people in China, open more clinics to treat them, increase the number of psy- chiatrists and therapists and raise their salaries.
