Q: Juniper EX3200 connected to Cisco 2900 series router - incomplete ARP entry I'm tying to connect a Call Manager Express running on a Cisco 2900 series router to a Juniper EX3200 switch. I have both configured on VLAN 4, with both ports in access mode but when I connect the switch to the router, although I get the link light and the interface mode showing up/up on the Cisco side and the Juniper side, no traffic will flow.
After a bit of investigation, it looks to me like the Cisco doesn't have complete ARP information for the switch. Asking the Cisco to show its ARP table yields an incomplete record for the Juniper.
SHF_R2901#sh arp
Protocol  Address          Age (min)  Hardware Addr   Type   Interface
Internet  10.228.4.1              -   58f3.9c42.8278  ARPA   GigabitEthernet0/0
Internet  10.228.4.2              0   Incomplete      ARPA

The port configuration is fairly straightforward. On the Cisco, the port is configured like this:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
   ip address 10.228.4.1 255.255.255.0
   duplex full
   speed auto
!

and on the Juniper, the corresponding port is configured like this:
family ethernet-switching {
    port-mode access;
    vlan {
        members Voice;
    }
}

and the VLAN is configured like this:
Voice {
    vlan-id 4;
    l3-interface vlan.4;
}

and in interfaces/vlans/unit 4:
family inet {
    address 10.228.4.2/24;
}

I've tried setting the port speeds, setting proxy-arp to unrestricted on the Juniper Switch, adding the MAC address manually on the Cisco and nothing I've tried seems to let the Cisco router talk to the network.
Nothing else has a problem talking to the Juniper Switch - including other devices on VLAN 4 - the phone handsets for example happily connect, get IP addresses and then sit at registering because they can't reach the CallManager. Every other device on VLAN 4 can communicate with the others, and the switch.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong here, or what I can do to get these to devices talking to each other? Any help would be very gratefully received as I'm now at the point where I don't know what else to try.

Update:
After the suggestion by SpacemanSpiff, I have done a bit more research and I'm now sure that the problem is at the Juniper end since if I plug a laptop into the port when it is configured as VLAN 4 I get the same incomplete ARP. I've tried the port on all the other VLANs and they work as expected so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what is special on VLAN 4.
For anyone who wants to see, the complete Juniper configuration (without passwords!): http://pastebin.com/E3YCWeqX

A: EDIT: Replaced with relevant answer:
I'm fairly sure this stanza from the full config is your culprit. When this feature is involved, and especially when you've got it set to auto-add the voice VLAN as tagged to ANY access port, this prevents you from setting that VLAN as the native one while in access mode. You can get around this and leave this config intact by changing the port-mode to a trunk, and setting the voice VLAN as the native VLAN. This accomplishes basically the same config and should get things working for you.
ethernet-switching-options {
    voip {
        interface access-ports {
            vlan Voice;
            forwarding-class expedited-forwarding;
        }

Surguja State, was one of the main princely states of Central India during the period of the British Raj, even though it was not entitled to any gun salute. Formerly it was placed under the Central India Agency, but in 1905 it was transferred to the Eastern States Agency.

The state spread over a vast mountainous area inhabited by many different people groups such as the Gond, Bhumij, Oraon, Panika, Korwa, Bhuiya, Kharwar, Munda, Chero, Rajwar, Nagesia and Santal. Its former territory lies in the present-day state of Chhattisgarh and its capital was the town of Ambikapur, now the capital of Surguja district.

History

According to tradition, the family of the Maharaja is very ancient, and is stated to belong to the Rajputs of the Lunar race Haihaivansh. The present ruling family is said to be descended from a Raksel Raja of Palamau. The state became a British protectorate in 1818 after the Third Anglo-Maratha War. Neighbouring Udaipur State was founded in 1818 as an offshoot of Surguja State. In 1860 The State was conferred to  younger son of Maharaja Amar Singh Deo, to Raja Bahadur Bindeshwari Prasad Singh Deo CSI. The Chief resided at Partabpur, the headquarters of a tract which he held as a maintenance grant in Surguja, and was a ruler of considerable ability and force of character. In 1871 he aided in the suppression of a rebellion in the Keonjhar State, for which he received the thanks of Government, and gifts of an elephant with gold-embroidered trappings and a gold watch and chain. He obtained the title of Raja Bahadur as a personal distinction, and was also made a Companion of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India. In 1820 hereditary title of Maharaja was conferred on ruling chief of Surguja. Surguja was one of the Chota Nagpur States and its rulers were Rajputs of the Raksel dynasty. They were the de facto overlords of the smaller states of Udaipur, Jashpur, Koriya (Korea) and Changbhakar that were fringing its territory.

Maharaja Indrajit Singh Deo (1827–1879) of Surguja was described as a lunatic by Anglo-Indian writer George Robert Aberigh-Mackay in 1877.

Maharaja Ramanuj Saran Singh Deo, the last ruler of this princely state signed the accession to the Indian Union on 1 January 1948. The Maharaja has the notorious record of having shot and killed a total of 1710 Bengal tigers, the highest known individual score; he doesn't hold the official record of shooting into extinction 3 of the last physically recorded Asiatic cheetahs in India, effectively making the species almost locally extinct in 1947, considering that a female was spotted in what was to be the District of Korea in 1951. The last three Asiatic Cheetas were shot by Maharaja Ramanuj Partap Singh Deo of Korea.

Rulers

The rulers of Surguja State bore the title of 'Maharaja', although a few had the title of 'Maharaja Bahadoor', including the last head of the state.

LV lawyer pleads in $5 million tax-evasion case
MARYCLAIRE DALE
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Lehigh Valley lawyer has pleaded guilty to failing to pay $1.9 million in taxes on $5 million in unreported income.
John Karoly Jr. had been scheduled to go on trial Monday in federal court in Philadelphia.
Prosecutors are dropping conspiracy charges against several co-defendants, including Karoly's son, and will resolve other charges through a non-jury trial.
The indictment charged Karoly with faking the wills of his wealthy brother and sister-in-law, who died in a 2007 plane crash. Karoly has agreed to give up all claims to their estate.
The 59-year-old Karoly could face prison time on the three tax counts. He is well-known in the Lehigh Valley for suing police departments over civil rights issues.


Studley Royal Park including the ruins of Fountains Abbey is a designated World Heritage Site in North Yorkshire, England. The site, which has an area of 800 acres features an 18th-century landscaped garden, some of the largest Cistercian ruins in Europe, a Jacobean mansion and a Victorian church designed by William Burges. It was developed around the ruins of the Cistercian Fountains Abbey.
The water garden at Studley Royal created by John Aislabie in 1718 is one of the best surviving examples of a Georgian water garden in England. It was expanded by his son, William who purchased the adjacent Fountains Estate. The garden's elegant ornamental lakes, canals, temples and cascades provide a succession of dramatic eye-catching vistas. It is also studded with a number of follies including a neo-Gothic castle and a palladian style banqueting house.
Last admission one hour before closing. Hall, mill, shop and restaurant close one hour earlier than Abbey and Water Garden.

return redirect('/computers/home')

I am getting the first  element, but it seems to not loop through the others. I've tried doing something like using the .iter and different .findall calls. What am I missing on this?

A: Having a return statement in the body of your for-loop would prevent it from looping.  The return statement would cause control to leave whatever function this is in.

A: When your program has return in a function (or loop inside the function) it will break out of that function and "returns" the result (value of the expression following the return keyword) to the caller. The statements after the return statements are not executed. If the return statement is without any expression, then the special value None is returned.
The following code will help you understand better.
>>> def explain():
    for i in range(10):
        return(i)

>>> explain()

An ordinary girl catapulted into an extraordinary world meets two even more extraordinary men—but what will she do when she discovers their sexy secret?
Fiona Gillespie moved to London shortly after graduating to take advantage of the opportunities the capital could offer. However, months later, she's still living in a horrid flat and working in a grimy East End pub. The problem is, she doesn't really know what she wants to do, career-wise. So when she happens upon an advertisement for a job at a plush Mayfair hotel, she jumps at the chance. A great deal of determination and a spot of luck land Fiona her dream role.
But working at the Totally Five Star London is just the beginning. She adores the role and flourishes, impressing her bosses and making her increasingly determined to climb the career ladder.
While her career is flying, though, her love life is non-existent. She hasn't even thought about men, never mind met or dated one for months, so when she bumps into two gorgeous businessmen in the hotel, she's surprised to find her head has been well and truly turned. Even more surprisingly, they flirt with her—both of them! She's drawn to James and Logan, despite feeling that they're way out of her league.
When a misunderstanding leads Fiona to James and Logan's sumptuous top-floor suite, she has no idea what she's about to uncover. Scenes of people-trafficking, drug-pushing and wild sex parties all appear in her active imagination. Yet what she actually sees is something she'd never even considered before, something that piques her interest.
After discovering their sexy secret, what will she do with this new-found knowledge?
Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of anal play, spanking, sex toys and bondage.

Home Daily Brief	Globe Revises Headline After Claiming Outright that Yasser Arafat was Poisoned
Globe Revises Headline After Claiming Outright that Yasser Arafat was Poisoned
On the morning of November 8, The Globe and Mail published the following Associated Press (AP) article to its website with the following headline which lacked attribution: "Everything you need to know about polonium, the rare element used to poison Yasser Arafat".
The problem? Well, the Globe was asserting that it's a matter of undisputed fact that Arafat was poisoned, but of course, this has yet to be proven and this is just a claim made based on evidence from scientists at Switzerland's Institute of Radiation Physics, and which is disputed by Russian scientists.
In fact, the AP article itself acknowledges that "absolute proof (of poisoning) is elusive": "Can scientists prove Arafat was poisoned? Absolute proof is elusive. There have been so few cases of known polonium poisoning that scientists don't know very much about its exact symptoms. Swiss scientists say Arafat had symptoms commonly linked to radiation poisoning, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and liver and kidney failure – but not two other classic symptoms, hair loss and a weaker immune system. The Swiss scientists also noted their tests faced several limitations. They had to perform their analyses on very small specimens – such as a single hair shaft or traces of blood and urine. Those tests were also conducted eight years after Arafat's death, so there could have been problems with chemical degradation."
To remedy, HonestReporting Canada asked Globe editors to amend the headline, which we are pleased to relay was done immediately and to our satisfaction. The new headline now states: "Everything you need to know about polonium, the rare element allegedly used to poison Yasser Arafat".

General Motors Quietly Installs Keyless Engine Shutoff
In 2011, when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was considering countermeasures to the carbon monoxide hazard introduced by keyless ignition systems, it flat out rejected the idea of an automatic engine shut-off. The agency argued that there was no good way to come up with a rule that would include a set time for the engine to shut itself off if the driver exited with the fob and inadvertently left the engine running.
"There are scenarios, such as leaving pets in the vehicle with the air conditioning or heating system on while the driver shops or is at a restaurant, where an automatic shut off of the propulsion system would have adverse results. It is our understanding that some drivers may stay in their vehicles for hours, for example, to sleep, with the air conditioning or heating system on. For the pet owner or the person staying in the vehicle for an extended period, it would be inconvenient if the propulsion system had to be restarted every 15 minutes or so," the agency wrote in the NPRM.
Of course, the agency could have come up with a performance standard in which an idling vehicle in an enclosed space could only generate so many ppm of CO – whatever could lead to dangerous levels seeping into an adjoining structure – or some variant. But never mind – that's not the news here. By Jove, now two major automakers have figured it out, over-heated puppies and car-nappers notwithstanding. And one of them – General Motors – kept this information from its customers for four years!
Both Ford and GM first implemented automatic engine shut down features in some of their MY 2013 vehicles.
According to owner's manuals, Ford's Automatic Engine Shutdown system automatically "shuts down the engine if it has been idling for an extended period. The ignition also turns off in order to save battery power. Before the engine shuts down, a message appears in the information display showing a timer counting down from 30 seconds. If you do not intervene within 30 seconds, the engine shuts down. Another message appears in the information display to inform you that the engine has shut down in order to save fuel."
GM's Extended Parking feature works this way in the 2015 Chevy Tahoe:
"Extended Parking It is better not to park with the vehicle running. If the vehicle is left while running, follow the proper steps to be sure the vehicle will not move and there is adequate ventilation. See Shifting Into Park 0 259 and Engine Exhaust 0 261. If the vehicle is left in P (Park) while running and the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is outside the vehicle, the vehicle will turn off after one hour. If the vehicle is left in P (Park) while running and the RKE transmitter is inside, the vehicle will run for two hours. At the end of the second hour, the vehicle will turn off. The timer will reset if the vehicle is taken out of P (Park) while it is running."
Based on GM technical service descriptions the earlier versions of Extended Parking allowed the vehicle to run in two 2.5 hour cycles, for a total run-time of five hours – if the fob was still in the vehicle while the engine was left running. The automaker eventually reduced it to two one-hour cycles in some models and two 1.5 hour cycles in others.
Ford didn't exactly make a public relations splash when it added the automatic engine shut-off in the 2013 Ford Edge, Ford Fusion Titanium and Titanium Hybrid and the Lincoln MKZ, but at least it included a description of the safety measure in the owner's manuals.
GM, according to service descriptions, implemented an engine shutdown feature in the 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Verano and Regal, the Chevy Cruze and Malibu and the Cadillac ATS, SRX, and XTS, without so much as a whisper to drivers. GM continued to expand the application of what it eventually branded the "Extended Parking Feature," until all of its vehicles had it in 2017. Then, GM included a description in its owner's manuals.
Why the big secret?
Let's push some timelines together.
In February 2009, Mary Rivera, a former college professor, suffered permanent brain damage when she unknowingly left her Lexus ES 350 idling in the garage beneath her home. Her partner, Ernest Cordelia, died of CO poisoning.
(SRS began researching this issue in 2009. In August 2010 we met with the agency to express our concerns, and have submitted comments to the 2011 FMVSS 114 docket. SRS repeatedly emphasized to NHTSA that "the introduction of electronic keys in combination with push-button ignition systems has introduced new scenarios under which a driver can exit the vehicle, key fob in hand with the motor running, or with the engine off but the vehicle in a gear other than park. With today's quiet engines, drivers can leave a vehicle, travel great distances from the vehicle with the key in their pockets while the engine is running or the transmission in neutral – all without being aware that they have done so. As we are seeing from owner complaints and litigation, the marriage of electronics with ignitions and locks have resulted in unintended consequences: carbon monoxide poisoning, rollaway crashes and easy thefts allowing manufacturers an erroneous – and as far as the consumer is aware – secret definition of the key that allows drivers to mistakenly believe that when they exit the vehicle with the fob, the engine is off and the vehicle transmission locked in the Park position – is antithetical to the spirit and letter of FMVSS 114." You can read them here.)
In early 2009, SAE formed the Keyless Ignition Subcommittee in response to safety concerns and "concern regarding the myriad different ways manufacturers are implementing keyless ignition features," as described in NHTSA's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to fix the hazards introduced by keyless ignition systems. "The committee consisted of experts in the study of how humans interact with machines (human factors experts) and designers of keyless ignition systems from auto manufacturers and suppliers," according to the NPRM. Ford and GM each had a representative on this committee.
As we've said many times, the great downside to electronic key systems is the transition of the key from a physical object to an invisible electronic code – the average consumer doesn't really understand this, and conflates the fob with the key, because you need the former to start the vehicle, and because manufacturers brand the fob with names like Smart Key, or the visual alerts in the vehicle say "Key not Detected" in reference to the fob. However, unlike a traditional key, the fob plays no role in turning off the vehicle. When a driver is standing in his kitchen with a traditional car key in his hand, it is certain that the engine is off and his vehicle transmission is in Park, because you can't remove the key otherwise. A driver holding a key fob in his hand has no such assurances. In many models, you can turn the engine off with the transmission in any position, and in all keyless vehicles you can take the fob with you, leave the motor running, and it will not turn off, just because the key fob is out of range – contrary to what many believe. No, for that you need an engineered software solution.
In the fall of 2010, stories about carbon monoxide deaths begin to circulate in the mainstream press, first, the September 2010 death of Chastity Glisson in a keyless Lexus IS250 and in November, the New York Daily News broke the Rivera story.
In January 2011, SAE issued its recommended practice J2948 for keyless ignition controls "based on the subcommittee members' experience with their company's vehicles and systems, knowledge of consumers' comments about the operation of the systems, knowledge of human factors engineering and, in some cases, knowledge of proprietary studies done during the development of their products (actual data was not shared with the group)," according the NPRM.
SAE J2948 noted four "errors" drivers might make: the inability to start and stop the vehicle propulsion system; exiting the vehicle with the automatic transmission in a non-parking gear; exiting the vehicle while the vehicle propulsion system is enabled; and exiting the vehicle while the vehicle propulsion system is disabled, but the accessory or electrical systems are active."
The intent of the standard is stated as: "to help minimize these errors."
In December 2011, NHTSA published its NPRM and the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which represents Ford and GM, immediately starts clutching its pearls over the very idea that NHTSA would try to make a rule to address these same conditions that the industry decided to address in early 2009.
The Alliance proceeded to take a strip off the agency's hide for attempting rulemaking on "anecdotal evidence," provided by Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) in which consumers reported rollaways or deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning when they mistakenly left their vehicles running. And the Alliance admonished NHTSA to do some human factors testing – even though it's pretty clear that the automakers themselves didn't do any before they installed keyless systems.
At the time there are only those two publicly known deaths – both in Toyotas. (Since then, the tally of reported carbon monoxide deaths has risen to 26 – including a couple who died in 2006 carbon monoxide deaths involving a Toyota Avalon.) Notice again that public knowledge follows industry efforts already underway that acknowledged the need to address the hazards of keyless ignitions.
In calendar 2012, both Ford and GM released MY 2013 keyless vehicles with automatic shut-off systems. Ford quietly put the information in the owner's manuals; GM was completely silent on the issue.
Think about this timing. Given what we know about automaker's development cycles, a Ford or GM plan to develop and implement an automatic engine cut-off feature was likely already well in the works somewhere between the time the SAE keyless ignition subcommittee convenes and the agency publishes its NPRM – yet its trade representative excoriates the agency for attempting regulations designed to prevent drivers from exiting their keyless vehicles with the fob and the engine running, by mandating what industry considers audible warnings that are too loud. Why? Because buzzers and beeps will annoy customers – a cardinal automotive design sin? Or, because at least two of their major members were quietly installing a much better solution?
And what does NHTSA know? In 2014, the agency launched a compliance evaluation of 2013-2014 keyless ignition vehicles from Toyota, Ford, General Motors, Nissan, Mazda, Hyundai and Kia, to test how their keyless ignition systems operate under different scenarios in which to determine if the Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention Standard had been violated. Among the population tested: two Fords and all of the GM vehicles had the engine idle shut-off feature. Specifically, the 2013 Lincoln MKZ and the 2013 Buick Verano and LaCrosse and the 2014 Ford Edge and the Buick Regal, Cadillac SRX and XTS.
In the Information Request sent to each manufacturer, the agency asked: Describe in detail how the Subject Vehicles' engine/motor is stopped or turned off. Include in your response, how hard and long the driver must press the start/stop button, to which device the code or other electrical signal is sent (i.e., immobilizer or engine control unit ("ECU")), and which devices are turned off or deactivated by the ECU (i.e., starter, fuel pump, fuel injection system, etc.). Specify when exactly those devices are turned off or deactivated (i.e. after the engine/motor stop control is pressed to turn off the engine/motor, after the driver's door is opened, etc.)
Did Ford or General Motors include an explanation of the feature in their answers? We'll venture a guess: No.
Why Does GM Keep It Quiet?
It is odd that GM chose not to tell customers or even dealership techs about this feature, until long after it was implemented in its vehicles.
In 2015, the public learns that GM had an engine idle shutoff feature in the 2014 Volt, as a result of a recall. GM launched campaign 15V145 to retrofit 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volts with software that would automatically shut off the engine after a set time of idling, to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. The recall states:
"If a driver exits his/her vehicle and inadvertently leaves the vehicle "on" (because the driver fails to react to the cues and warning chimes emitted by the vehicle to alert the driver that the vehicle has not been turned off), after a period of time, the vehicle's battery will drain and the vehicle's gas engine will begin to run. If the gas engine runs for long periods of time within an enclosed space, such as a garage, carbon monoxide could build up in the enclosed space and potentially cause injury."
The automaker's Part 573 submission to NHTSA noted that it had initiated an investigation in August 2014, allegedly after a single customer complaint about the build-up of carbon monoxide in a garage caused by the engine inadvertently left running. (GM told Automotive News that it was aware of two carbon monoxide injuries.)
And here's where it gets weird. In GM's defect chronology, which accompanies all Part 573 submissions, the automaker wrote: "it was determined that the 2014 model year and beyond Volts contain software that automatically shuts down the vehicle after being left idle in a run state for a specific amount of time."
Now, by MY 2014, Buicks, Cadillacs and all of the Chevrolets had an automatic engine shutdown feature – a significant subset had had it since calendar 2012 (MY 2013)! Yet, GM talks about a disembodied discovery, like it had no idea that it had been systematically installing an engine shutdown system through its carlines since 2012.
Its defect chronology continues:
"GM's Safety and Field Action Decision Authority (SFADA) concluded that, because the investigation revealed customer error in leaving the vehicle in a run state was the primary factor contributing to the condition, and considering the warnings provided to the driver that the vehicle was left running and the low number of complaints relating to this issue, the appropriate remedy would be a customer satisfaction program to update the vehicle software to power down the vehicle if the vehicle was left running for an extended period of time."
Super weird that they only want to do a customer satisfaction campaign because of bad, bad drivers, since, clearly, GM had long ago decided that this was a hazard, and had engineered a solution that had been implemented more than two years earlier in non-hybrid vehicles, where there isn't even the possibility that the quiet electric powered motor will revert to the gasoline engine, if left running long enough.
According to the GM defect chronology, they only decided to move to a recall, at NHTSA's suggestion. Did NHTSA know that GM already had a cut-off feature in so many of its models?
The next time GM publicly reveals the existence of this feature in other vehicles is to its dealers and their technicians in a series of technical service bulletins that appear to begin in 2015. Did the absence of an explanation for this feature lead to customer complaints about the engine shutting down? An examination of consumer complaints to NHTSA shows that drivers with models that employed the 2.5 to 5 hour run strategy in the earlier versions of the Extended Parking feature complained that their vehicle did not shut down. This driver of a 2014 Buick Verano was so frustrated, he filed two different complaints with NHTSA:
"This is my second complaint. My wife forgot to press the stop engine button again because of a distraction. As a result she burned a quarter tank of gas while she was gone from the vehicle. Why is there not a safety shut off like the ten minute shut off in remote start mode? If this was in my integral garage I could be dead from carbon monoxide. Is this another shove it under the rug like the GM key scandal. Since so many vehicles are going to this technology why hasn't this been looked at? My wife is only 61 and in good health. What of the older folks with problems to do?"
The Preliminary Information technical bulletins to GM service technicians inform them that "Some customers may comment that the engine stops running after extended idle with shifter in Park." No repair is required, the bulletin states – just educate the customer about the existence of the extended parking feature.
So, customers didn't know, the dealership techs didn't know, GM's Safety and Field Action Decision Authority apparently didn't know.
And what does NHTSA know about this? If they've been paying attention, they know from the TSBs that GM filed with the agency
How many other automakers have secretly added this countermeasure?

All film directors of note have signature touches – elements of style or content which recur from one work to the next. However, even the most ardent devotees of a filmmaker can tire of these touches when they become routine, stale and repetitive.
Down the years, many cinephiles have grown weary of Paul Cox's insertion of dreamy super-8 footage into his films, or Atom Egoyan's cool obsession with video cameras. But no recent movie can match the jaded mood of ennui prompted in this reviewer by Oliver Stone's latest epic of contemporary political history, Nixon.
It is unquestionably Stone's worst film. Everything that has riddled his previous films is here again, but this time delivered with little verve. There is a fascination with woolly, paranoid conspiracy theories; a touch of homophobia; the Forrest Gump-style blending of newsreel and fictional footage; and the usual barrage of crazy shock edits, colour filters and askew angles.
Stone's portrait of Nixon (Anthony Hopkins) spins backward from the Watergate crisis to various highlights and lowlights of his troubled political career. Aspects of Nixon's private life are canvassed as well, such as his marriage to Pat (Joan Allen) and the key, formative influence of his mother (Mary Steenburgen).
It is fruitless to argue whether this film is for or against Nixon. Stone has no single viewpoint on the matter. Rather, he labours to include all available viewpoints, and flatters all possible interpretations. If you are looking for an indictment of the system rather than the man, you will find that here. Equally, if you want to just gloat at the presentation of Nixon as an insane monster, you won't be disappointed either.
Stone himself, especially in America, seems to be all things to all people. To radicals, he is a nostalgic, reactionary arch-conservative. To conservatives, he is a stirrer, a subversive, a crackpot. This ideological confusion should make Nixon an interesting film, but it doesn't; the film's many viewpoints simply cancel each other out. What's worse, the resulting mess is dreary rather than madly compelling.
Stone's films are actually at their best when they are excessive, hysterical and incoherent, as is the case with JFK (1991), The Doors (1991) and Natural Born Killers (1994). These films tend toward the condition of pure, postmodern collage. Like a good tabloid television show, they frenetically mix fragments of drama, documentary, hallucination and parody.
Stone must have surely been tempted, in the editing room, to turn Nixon into another demented collage – a review of the radically diverse ways in which Nixon has been represented in the pop culture imagination. After all, during his reign, Nixon single-handedly inspired a style of burlesque political satire that survives to this day – a grotesque Punch and Judy depiction of the monstrosities of the political system.
There is a trace of such burlesque in Nixon – unsurprisingly, since Stone mined this tradition with such zest in Natural Born Killers. Hopkins is directed to exaggerate everything that is ungainly, ugly and insincere in Nixon – the fake smile, the hunched posture, the thick sweat forever building up on his clammy lip and brow.
Yet Nixon is not ultimately a satire, or even a critique. Stone is more heavily drawn toward a quite different biopic style – a serious, compassionate, even reverential attitude. His attempt to make this portrait into a moving, human drama inexorably takes the film down the path of solemn naturalism.
The trouble is, as Heaven and Earth (1993) proved, that Stone's films fall apart whenever they try to be calm and classical. Scenes in this film of Nixon reflective before a painting of JFK, or awestruck before the Lincoln Monument, are just awful. The sequence showing Nixon attempting to justify his behaviour to a gang of idealistic, fresh-faced youths is quite possibly the worst of the director's entire career.
Most of Nixon is comprised of long, dull scenes in the bleak, monochrome chambers of the Oval Office. Next to Hopkins' overripe mimicry, most of the cast (including James Woods, Bob Hoskins and David Hyde Pierce) appear as one-dimensional ciphers. Only Paul Sorvino as Kissinger exudes any degree of complex, dignified humanity.
Perhaps Stone should cease directing new films at this point. Like many a postmodern collagist before him, Stone could pull apart all his old films and establish from them a vast archive of jazzy fragments. After all, his movies have already started to overlap in uncanny ways. Oliver Stone's Personal History of Contemporary America – with special reference to the '60s: now that is a CD-Rom I would probably bother watching.

March, 7th 2012
A Mexican Supreme Court judge has said that Frenchwoman Florence Cassez, who is serving a 60-year sentence for kidnapping, should be released.
Judge Arturo Zaldivar argued that Ms Cassez, 37, had been denied her consular rights and the right to be presumed innocent.
His proposal for her "immediate and absolute" release will now be considered by a panel of five judges.
The case has caused diplomatic friction between Mexico and France.
Florence Cassez was arrested in 2005 at a ranch near Mexico City where three kidnapping victims had been held for two months.
Judge Zaldivar's recommendation that she be freed is based on how she was treated after her arrest.
In a motion presented to the Supreme Court, he says police violated her rights by failing to notify the French consulate and failing to present her to investigative officials.
TV montageHe also notes that – the day after she was detained – police staged a re-enactment of her arrest and the rescue of the kidnap victims for the benefit of the media.
The footage was shown on Mexican television as if it were a genuine raid.
The judge argued that this montage created the impression that she was guilty and may have influenced the testimony against her from the police and kidnap victims.
It is not certain when the Supreme Court will hear her case, but her lawyer told the French AFP news agency/
Ms Cassez has always denied any knowledge or involvement in the kidnappings.
She maintains that her only connection with the case was that she was the girlfriend of one of the kidnappers.
In France, she is widely considered the victim of a miscarriage of justice.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been among those questioning her conviction and calling for her to be returned home.
In 2010 a year of Mexican cultural events in France was cancelled after Mr Sarkozy suggested it be used to highlight her case.
The News Station – 16 wnep
MEXICAN JUDGE SEEKS TO FREE JAILED FRENCH WOMAN
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – A Mexican Supreme Court judge has proposed freeing a French woman serving a 60-year prison sentence for kidnapping, though his motion needs the backing of at least two others on a five-member panel determining her fate.Judge Arturo Zaldivar said in his motion that Florence Cassez, 37, was denied her rights, not given a fair trial, and that witness statements used to convict her of kidnapping and other crimes in 2008 were unreliable.
The case has caused tension between France and Mexico.
Zaldivar's motion centers on a filmed recreation showing police freeing kidnapping victims and arresting Cassez and others who were portrayed as members of a gang called the Zodiacs. The video was shot after her arrest in Mexico City in late 2005 and aired on television as a real raid.
Federal police said the Zodiacs were led by Cassez's Mexican boyfriend at the time and that she was a member of the gang.
In his motion, Zaldivar also noted that Cassez was not offered consular assistance or put in front of a prosecutor immediately after the arrest.
"Consequently, the motion establishes there was a violation of the fundamental right of the presumption of innocence of Cassez," the Supreme Court said in a statement. "A supposed recreation of things that never took place without doubt had an impact on public opinion and on all those linked to the trial."
The case sparked a furor in France, where many see Cassez as a victim of injustice.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is seeking a second term in an April 22 election, has promised Cassez's parents that
he will seek justice in the case and is asking Mexico to transfer her to a French prison. That request has been denied.
The five Mexican Supreme Court judges will vote on the motion within two weeks, an official at the court said. A vote of three judges will be enough to free Cassez.
"This motion gives us a ray of hope," Cassez's defense lawyer, Agustin Acosta, told Reuters. "The case is very clear. I am sure the court will free her."
Some Mexican anti-crime activists have opposed her release, arguing that a message must be sent to kidnappers and France should not meddle with Mexico's justice system.
Mexico has seen kidnappings for ransom, in which abductors often torture and mutilate victims, spiral out of control in recent years.
In 2011, Mexico canceled a year-long series of films and performances in France after Sarkozy said the events would be dedicated to Cassez.

Born in 1763 in Vienna, Józef Poniatowski was the son of a Polish nobleman who had served as an artillery officer in the Austrian army and had been made Austrian ambassador to Poland. After the death of his father, Józef followed in his father's footsteps by enrolling in the Austrian army in 1780 with the rank of second-lieutenant. His advance was to prove rapid; in September 1784 he was promoted to major, and after a short interruption to his military career due to a broken leg, he became a colonel in the Austrian emperor's light cavalry. As ADC to Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor and emperor of Austria, he participated in the Battle of Šabac in 1788 during the Austro-Turkish War (1787-1791) but was wounded. Soon after his recovery, he was summoned by his uncle, Stanisław August Poniatowski, king of Poland, and entered the newly-reorganised Polish army with the rank of major-general.
Following Polish constitutional reform introduced in 1791, Russian troops invaded Poland: Poniatowski was dispatched to Ukraine in command of 20,000 Polish troops with orders to resist the invading force. Despite success at the Battle of Zieleńce, Poniatowski was ordered to agree an armistice with the Russians; refusing, Catherine the Great insisted on surrender, which the Polish king eventually agreed to. Resigning his commission, Poniatowski returned to Vienna but his stay was to prove brief. Under pressure from Russia, the Austrian authorities hurried him along, and he eventually arrived in Brussels. During his exile, a Polish independent movement, led by Kościuszko, rose up and Poniatowski returned to Poland: this insurrection was crushed by the Russians – allied with Austria and Prussia – and Poland was broken up further. Refusing to enter Russian service, Poniatowski again left for Vienna but was obliged to travel to St. Petersburg in 1798 for the funeral of his uncle, who had abdicated his throne and lived out his remaining years in the Russian capital. Returning to Warsaw, he set up home in Pod Blacha palace in the company of his mistress, the Countess de Vaubin: following a period of financial difficulty, he was made military governor of Warsaw by the king of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm III, with orders to organise the national guard and defend the city against the invading French forces. The defence was short-lived and following Napoleon's arrival in Warsaw in December 1806, Poniatowski presented Napoleon with a note calling for a Polish state.
In the provisional government set up by Napoleon in the Polish provinces, Poniatowski was made Minister of War, a role which he fulfilled to the satisfaction of the French authorities. In 1807, Poniatowski became Minister of War and commander-in-chief of the army for the newly-created Duchy of Warsaw. In exchange for French financial assistance in constructing defence works and expanding the Polish army, Poniatowski was obliged to contribute troops to the defence of Danzig, Pomerania and Silesia, as well as Napoleon's campaign in Spain (where Polish lancers fought in the Battle of Somosierra). With the Duchy left drastically short of armed forces, the Franco-Austrian war of 1809 saw Poniatowski surprised by Archduke Ferdinand, who invaded the duchy at the head of 30,000 soldiers. Leading the defence at Raszyn, Poniatowski was forced to accept the futility of his resistance and returned to Warsaw to announce the imminent arrival of the Austrians. Blamed for the defeat, he nevertheless agreed a favourable withdrawal from the capital and proceeded to Galicia, where he mounted a counteroffensive and raised up an insurrection, forcing the Austrians to evacuate Warsaw. Following Napoleon's success at Wagram, Poniatowski proceeded immediately to Krakow – the historic capital of Poland – where he kept a close eye on peace negotiations between a defeated Austria and France. The majority of the territory ceded by Austria – including Krakow and Lublin – was incorporated into the Duchy of Warsaw and Poniatowski's role in events was recognised by Napoleon, who made him Grand-officier of the Légion d'honneur.
As Franco-Russian relations began to break down, two camps began to form in Warsaw: one – under the leadership of Prince Czartoryski – convinced that Polish national interests lay with Russia and Alexander I, and the other – headed by Poniatowski – insistent on remaining close to Napoleon. With Alexander organising troops along the Russian-Polish border, Poniatowski took the opportunity presented by the Roi de Rome's baptism in June 1811 to present in person his concerns to Napoleon. Napoleon's subsequent invasion of Russia saw Poniatowski take command of the Polish troops in the Grande Armée's fifth corps, under the command of Jerome Bonaparte. Following Jerome's departure from the army, Poniatowski took command of the entire right-wing of the army. He led his troops ably at Smolensk and at the Battle of Borodino, but his losses were huge. Although he entered Moscow on 14 September, the Grande Armée's stay was to prove brief. On 19 October, Napoleon ordered the retreat and Poniatowski's troops formed the rear-guard of the departing army. During the passage through Viazma, his horse slipped on some ice and Poniatowski, injured, was forced to hand over command to a subordinate, General Zayonchek. The remnants of the fifth corps reached Warsaw on 13 December, where they remained until February 1813. With the Russian army about to enter Warsaw, Poniatowski set out on 5 February with orders to fall back on Krakow. Refusing Alexander's offers to join his cause, Poniatowski organised 14,000 troops and departed for Saxony with the intent of joining up with Napoleon. He reached Napoleon in Dresden, and Poniatowski's troops became the eighth corps of the Grande Armée. On 16 October, 1813, during the Battle of Leipzig, Napoleon made Poniatowski Maréchal de France in recognition of his loyal service. After three days of intense fighting, Napoleon gave the order to withdraw across the Elster and destroy the bridges once his troops had successfully made it across; Poniatowski's Polish troops were given the task of defending the retreat. On 19 October, an engineer mistakenly destroyed the bridges before the Polish troops had completed their retreat: wounded in a number of places, Poniatowski was shot in the chest whilst scaling the south bank of the Elster and was drowned. His body was recovered, embalmed, and transported to Warsaw. He was shortly afterwards laid to rest in Krakow cathedral alongside the kings of Poland.

Nils Armand Alfred Rossander, född 2 november 1914 i Spånga, död 21 november 1976 i Stockholm, var en svensk konstnär (målare och tecknare). Han var far till Linnéa Braun.

Biografi
Rossander studerade vid Konstakademien i Stockholm och hämtade inspiration och intryck på studieresor till bland annat Tyskland, Tjeckoslovakien och Frankrike. Han ingick i gruppen 1947 års män. Han deltog i utställningen Ung Konst som blev genombrottet för konkret konst i Sverige. Han verk föreställer ofta abstrakta och i viss mån stiliserade, figurer och landskap. Dessa vittnar om strävan till socialpsykologisk analys men även viss lekfullhet.

Bland hans offentlig konst som står för Rossanders lekfullhet kan nämnas 20 blyinfattade glaskonstverk och finns på restaurang Tyrolens torn på Gröna Lund i Stockholm, i hörnet av Lilla Allmänna Gränd och Allmänna Gränd. De är tillverkade vid D. Lindholms konstglasmästeri 1942. Varje fönster är belyst bakifrån och visar olika motiv från Gröna Lunds attraktioner, exempelvis dansbana, kättingflygare, varieté, Blå tåget, Lustiga huset, minigolv och radiobil.

Han är representerad på Moderna museet  (flera verk), Göteborgs konstmuseum, Arkiv för dekorativ konst i Lund, Kalmar konstmuseum, Smålands museum l Växjö och Jönköpings läns museum samt Nasjonalgalleriet i Oslo.

Armand Rossander är begravd på Segerstads kyrkogård på Öland.

Bellarmine Honors Four Hall of Fame Inductees
San Jose -- Four distinguished Bellarmine College Preparatory alumni were inducted into the school's Hall of Fame at an on-campus event that included the ceremony, reception, and dinner held on August 24.
The 2019 Hall of Fame inductees are Kevin Frandsen, Class of 2000 (Athletics); Bill Del Biaggio, Jr., Class of 1958 (Business); Jim Harville, Class of 1963 (Humanities & Fine Arts); and Major General D. Scott McKean, Class of 1986 (Public Service).
Frandsen, who was introduced by former Bellarmine baseball coach Gary Cunningham, played professional baseball for multiple Major League teams before his current career in sports broadcasting. He is a founding member of the 19 For Life Foundation, established in memory of his late brother DJ Frandsen, to fund services for children dealing with childhood illness and provide financial support to students at Bellarmine and other local schools. "When you think of all the people who helped you get to where you are, that's what the Hall of Fame is," remarked Frandsen in a video before accepting his award on stage. "It's a big thank you to everyone, and I'm more than honored."
Del Biaggio, Jr., introduced by his grandson William "Boots" Del Biaggio, IV, served the San Jose community through his business and philanthropic ventures as founding chairman of Heritage Bank and his volunteer service to numerous nonprofit organizations in Santa Clara County. He is also a 1986 inductee into the Bellarmine Athletic Hall of Fame. "I'm really grateful for my experiences here at Bellarmine," said Bill. "It was a well-rounded education for a young man, and it set me up for the successes I had, and I owe a debt of gratitude to Bellarmine."
A popular English teacher for 45 years at Bellarmine, Harville, introduced by former colleague Bill Chambers, was also a legendary Speech and Debate coach for 32 years. Jim's work with the program contributed to the development of 10 individual national champions, 44 individual state champions, 13 California state sweepstakes awards, plus a national team championship in 1994. In his acceptance remarks, Harville poignantly recalled a yearbook inscription written by a Jesuit priest that read: "God has given you much. Thank him for it."
A decorated senior officer in the United States Army, Major General McKean, introduced by his brother Steve McKean, is a two-star General currently stationed in South Korea. During his nearly 30 years in the military, he has negotiated amicable resolutions of conflict, built positive relations between nations across the globe, and supported local and federal government relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Andrew in 1992. McKean referenced the concept of duty, honor, and country. "As Douglas MacArthur stated, 'Those three hallowed words will reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.' The mission of West Point, to develop leaders of character for a lifetime of service to our nation, just really further amplified what Bellarmine instilled in all of us."
Bellarmine Junior Named Most Philosophical Student in America
San Jose, CA – Sahith Kudaravalli, a junior attending Bellarmine College Preparatory, was recently named the 2019 Most Philosophical Student in America by the Kids Philosophy Slam. His was the winning essay among those submitted by more than 4,000 high school students.
Bellarmine Hall of Fame
San Jose, CA – Bellarmine College Preparatory will recognize four distinguished alumni at its Hall of Fame ceremony the evening of August 24, 2019.
Those to be honored, and their respective categories, are: Kevin Frandsen, Class of 2000 (Athletics); Bill Del Biaggio, Jr., Class of 1958 (Business); Jim Harville, Class of 1963 (Humanities & Fine Arts); and Major General D. Scott McKean, Class of 1986 (Public Service).


I'm in accord with FAN regarding Spandau. Blondish, rather than dark, rugged, attractive, manly rather than handsome. Sort of Daniel like. Same coloring but bigger guy. Sharon Stone type for Anna. For some reason I saw Perec "buggy" . I think of Toby Mcguire.

Q: Python XMP Toolkit: Remove ` lang="x-repair" ` from image description Summary:
I am trying to set the description of an image file using XMP metadata, with the Python XMP Toolkit (libxmp). I figured out how to do this, but for some reason, the string lang="x-repair" always precedes the description in certain programs. I'm an XMP noob, but I think it's due to the <rdf:li xml:lang="x-repair"> tag being interpreted incorrectly by the viewing/editing software. I need to find a workaround.
Problem Example:
Initial XMP (before adding description):
<?xpacket begin="" id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?>
<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="Exempi + XMP Core 5.6.0">

Then I run the following to add a description:
my_image.xmp.append_array_item(libxmp.consts.XMP_NS_DC, "description", "This is a test.", {"prop_array_is_alt":True})

Now python says this is my current XMP:

As you can see, libxmp seems to have added xml:lang="x-repair" to the tag containing the description text. For some odd reason, some programs seem to read this with a literal lang="x-repair"  prepended to the description text. I've tried both GIMP and the Ubuntu built-in file properties menu, with the same erroneous results. However, various online metadata viewers predictably do not have this problem.
My Question:
Is it possible to add a description to an image using the python libxmp module WITHOUT automatically adding the xml:lang="x-repair" part? I think this would effectively work around the text rendering bug I've found in various programs.

Q: jQuery check if at least two text inputs are filled This is my form :
<FORM id="form1">
            Fields :
                        <fieldset name="titles">

            <INPUT class = "fit" type="text" name="title">

            <INPUT class = "fit" type="text" name="title">

                        <INPUT class = "fit" type="text" name="title">

                        <INPUT class = "fit" type="text" name="title">
                        </fieldset>
            </FORM>

How can I check if at least two out of these four fields are filled? Here's what i'I've tried :
$('#form1').validate({ // initialize the plugin
    rules: {
        title: {
          required: "input[name='title']",
          minlength: 2
      },
      messages: {
            title: "You must fill at least two titles!"
        }
    }
});

But it's not working, it always returns a valid form... I'm a newbie to jQuery, any help would be appreciated.

A: For 1 statement to grab both 'select' and 'input' elements, simply change your single jQuery selector  to a multiple selector,
Eg:-
$(this).find('input[type=text], select').each(function(){
            if($(this).val() != "") valid+=1;
        });

A: Try this with the button:
$("#submit_button").click(function(){
        if($('input[text]').length < 2) {
                alert('at least two text inputs are filled');
               return false;
            }
      });


Exquisite Collections of Chinese Textiles & Jade Lead Skinner's Asian Works of Art Auction, March 18 | Skinner Inc.
♦ Embroidered Lady's Informal Robe, 19th century, pale blue silk richly embroidered with flowers, fruit and auspicious symbols (Lot 119, $2,000-3,000).
♦ Official Canopy Cover, 18th-19th century, with embroidered motifs of a pair of lung dragons, each chasing a pearl (Lot 140, $3,000-5,000).
♦ Yunjin brocade yardage, featuring intricate woven patterns of dragons, clouds, and other traditional motifs. (Lots 143-145, $5,000-7,000 each).
The skills that produced such remarkable textiles are being lost and the labor-intensive techniques are dying out, says Judith Dowling, Director of Asian Works of Art. This decline is stimulating interest in these needlework treasures, both in China and among collectors around the world.
Carved jade is perhaps China's most admired artifact. This auction includes numerous examples of the revered mineral, including a significant collection of small jades from the estate of a connoisseur who began his acquisitions many years ago.
♦ Jade Boulder, 18th century. An impressive 9 ¾ inches high, the piece is finely carved with two figures amid mountain scenery (Lot 202, $60,000-80,000).
♦ Jade ruyi Scepter, a gnarly branch embellished with mushrooms and a hornless dragon (Lot 232, $10,000-12,000).
♦ Pair of Lemon yellow-Glazed Wine Cups, 1723-35. They are very early, very small, and very fine. The brilliant color is hard to achieve, and firing such delicate objects is a great technical accomplishment (Lot 281, $30,000-50,000).
♦ Peachbloom Water Coupe, 18th century, with incised underglaze decoration of dragons (Lot 282, $10,000-20,000).
♦ Hanging Scroll Calligraphy by Wu Changshuo (Lot 432, $40,000-60,000).
♦ Mountain-Water by Zhang Daquian, ink and light color on paper (Lot 442, $50,000-70,000).
Also offered are a variety of Japanese woodblocks including several Kawase Hasui works noted for the delicately atmospheric depiction of landscapes and cityscapes in snow and rain.
Like his library, Joseph Wei was a person of many interests, with great depth of knowledge–his life's study focused on the worlds of Asia and the Middle East. He combined his connoisseurship of Asian art with a career as a fine arts dealer, all the while following a spiritual journey that embraced Christianity and Buddhism. His library contains both scholarly monographs, particularly rich in Buddhist material, and titles essential for the study and authentication of works of art.
Highlights from his collection will be offered in the March 18 auction. Additional rare and desirable titles will be available in the online-only auction, A Scholar's Library, from March 9 – 20.
Previews will be held on Thursday, March 16, 12-5PM; Friday, March 17, 12-7PM; and Saturday, March 18, 9-10:30AM.
