Q: What are the different options to install pinax(0.9a) inclusive requirements? I tried the classical way with pip install Pinax and then install the requirements base.txt, but this does not work?
What are other options to install a working pinax(0.9) base project inclusive requirements?
UPDATE:
Thats the exception installing it the "proper" way...
Created project mysite

A: You don't install Pinax anymore.
Prior to project templates in Django, Pinax provided this functionality with bundled started projects.
To get a pinax starter project now, you would do something like:
pip install Django
django-admin.py startproject --template=https://github.com/pinax/pinax-project-account/zipball/master <project_name>

A: Please refer to this existing question. According to Ilja Sucharev it is due to the newer version of pip. So you need to change pip.call_subprocess to pip.util.call_subprocess to your virtualenv_project/lib/site-packages/pinax/core/management/commands/setup_project.py

A: You can use Pip or download and unpackage Pinax manually.
$ virtualenv mysite-env
$ source mysite-env/bin/activate
(mysite-env)$ pip install Pinax

OR
You can download a project from pypi and install it manually.
Errors may occur because you have a new version of Pip. The function pip.call_subprocess has been moved to pip.util.call_subprocess. See: https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/464. Just replace the string in C:\virtualenvs\mysite\lib\site-packages\pinax\core\management\commands\setup_project.py before executing the pinax-admin; e.g., (mysite-env)$ pinax-admin setup_project mysite

I like Instagram a lot, I've used it a lot in the last couple of years [including with the picture above etc.].
I like sharing stuff with my thousands of Twitter followers, right then and there, right in the moment, while the ink on the drawing has had barely enough time to dry.
I wish it had existed back in my work's early New York days; it would've been perfect for that. Some of the drawings in The Marfa Project are well over a decade old, and have never been published before. How quickly the world has changed since then etc.
Speaking of "over a decade", I recently read somewhere that it took twenty years for the critically acclaimed Clint Eastwood movie, "The Unforgiven", to actually get made. That's how long the script was sitting on the "No" pile, before it finally got the greenlight.
For all the razzle-dazzle you see in the magazines, the truth is, as with The Unforgiven or The Marfa Project, art happens slowly. And art careers happen even more slowly than that.

Birthdays. There seem to be a lot lately. I sent four cards yesterday alone...and then in the evening, I realized I'd missed another one.
The thing about birthdays is they can be experienced in so many ways. I've seen splashy, sedate and even secretive. We don't all feel the same about the marker for another year coming round, whether it's dressed in cake and balloons or in a card with a grim reaper on the cover.
And speaking of the card selection for anyone over 30! All the talk of wrinkles, passing wind and forgetting your own name, it's no wonder some people flip out and stop celebrating their life anniversary altogether.
By the time we are adults, birthdays are not a surprise, and yet they have a shock factor on the system. I've been asking myself a lot lately why that is. Each one feels so new and can be so daunting.
Ah! THAT'S why it always feels so new to turn another year older. In every moment of our lives (and more palpably on our birthdays it seems), the above is true. No, I'm not factoring in anything other than the life we are living right now, so even if you believe this ain't your first rodeo, this truth nugget still applies.
When I coach and in my trainings, we ascribe to the principle that when faced with a challenge, we have a choice.
In this case, we can't change our birthday. Not really. We can pretend, but that doesn't change the facts. So the circumstances are what they are.
Now perspective is another story, literally and figuratively.
which lens do you want to see yourself through?
Personally, I'd rather experience my youth. Thankfully, it's always here and now for the celebrating.

'They were not dirty:' Former kennel owner speaks at animal abuse sentencing
David Veselenak
Even during her sentencing on animal abuse charges, Mary Gabriel still says she did not neglect any of the dogs in her care.
"They were not dirty, they were not filthy," said Gabriel, who recently moved from Farmington Hills to Rose Township. "My house was not covered in poop and pee."
Regardless, Gabriel, 74, was sentenced on the four misdemeanor animal abuse counts Wednesday in Livonia's 16th District Court. She was found guilty on the counts after a bench trial before District Judge Sean Kavanagh in December.
Kavanagh sentenced her to serve two years of probation, community service and ordered she pay fines and costs. In addition, Kavanagh ordered she could only own up to two dogs at her Rose Township home and had to give up the rest of the dogs she owned that were in care of others in Michigan. Kavanagh also ordered her home be subject to random bi-monthly inspections by a local animal control department.
Gabriel is former owner of Chien d'Or Goldens kennel in Farmington Hills. She was charged in Livonia last year after four dogs were brought into the city after passing them along to a Livonia resident for a few days. An animal control officer was later called to the home and discovered the dogs to be in terrible condition, including feces matted in their fur, ear infections and fleas. City prosecutors then decided to file charges against her after they determined the dogs belonged to her.

More:To the dogs! New day care, boarding facility opens in Livonia
She was charged last fall with four counts of animal abuse and four counts of keeping unlicensed dogs. She was found not guilty on the unlicensed dogs counts. Testimony during her trial from experts stated the dogs were most likely in poor condition before being dropped off at the residence in Livonia last August.
Gabriel's kennel, located near 12 Mile and Orchard Lake roads, closed last year and remains up for sale.
Paul Bernier, an assistant city attorney who prosecuted the case, also asked the court for more than $16,000 in restitution for payment to house the animals at the Michigan Humane Society during the length of the trial. He requested the four dogs in question, two golden retrievers and two Sussex spaniels, be forfeited and put up for adoption.
"We want them to go to a loving home," he said.
Gabriel's attorney, Colleen Murphy, objected, saying the four dogs were more valuable than a simple an adoption fee.
She requested a restitution hearing to determine the amount after she turned down an offer by Bernier to reduce the restitution to $10,000. That hearing will take place at 11 a.m. Jan. 23 in the Livonia courthouse.

Will KISS headline the first Titans of Rock Festival in Grand Forks this August?
Titans of Rock is a new summer music festival joint venture between KISS bassist Gene Simmons and producer Chuck Varabioff catering specifically to classic rock fans.

Rock and roll all night and party every day in Grand Forks this August 6 to 8 at the inaugural Titans of Rock music festival.
A joint venture between KISS co-founder Gene Simmons and Canadian producer Chuck Varabioff, the three-day-long event is the first in what is expected to be a new festival series devoted to classic rock. The headline act for the event was unannounced at press time, although fans doubtlessly hope that the legendary arena rock act is on the bill. KISS is presently continuing its three-year-long End of the Road World Tour.
Simmons is confirmed to host the event, which was first teased last summer. He gave an exclusive interview to Postmedia to discuss the new venture.
The full lineup is expected to be announced by this weekend with ticket and information updates at titansofrock.com.

Simmons met Varabioff in 2018, when the Gene Simmons Band played at the promoter's Cannafest event in Grand Forks. Simmons had been working on the Titans of Rock concept for a few years and found a like-minded partner in Varabioff to bring audiences a new concert brand. Asked whether the world was ready for another rock festival, the KISS bassist declared that the world wants anything that has quality and that is what Titans of Rock will deliver.
"Tens of millions of people in North America love a certain kind of music that revolves around guitars and being unapologetic about turning it up to 10, or — yes — even 11," said Simmons. "The stadiums are filled with this kind of no-nonsense, kick-in-the-butt music that has ruled as long as most of us have been alive. But Chuck and I believe that classic rock is underserved and there are a lot of other bands who should be given a showcase, and we intend to put on a quality concert at reasonable prices where fans can come to have the time of their lives."

Varabioff's previous Cannafest rosters ranged from acts such as Cheap Trick and The Beach Boys to beloved Canuck rockers Loverboy and Randy Bachman. Titans of Rock takes place on a new 15-acre site at James Donaldson Park just within Grand Forks city limits which the promoter noted has no performance curfew. RV parking, camping and other accommodations will be available.
Audiences accustomed to urban market concert ticket prices will find the price point for Titans or Rock appealing.
"We're starting our single day tickets at $150, and if you double that you get all three days for $300," said Varabioff. "Various V.I.P. packages start at $400 all the way up to $1200 including all kinds of extra perks and benefits. Part of the packages will include some catering and meals, but we have to keep some secrets until event day."

At press time, there was no confirmation as to whether breakfast services would include custom KISS Demon Waffle Maker waffles or ice cubes in the cereal. Simmons says that the minutiae of the event is still being worked out. A percentage of the proceeds will benefit local charities such as Habitat for Humanity Kamloops, which builds affordable housing for lower income families in the Thompson and Cariboo Chilcotin regions of B.C.
"We're very excited about Titans of Rock, starting it in the Northwest of Canada and then taking this around the world, slowly, sure-footed and from a position of strength," said Simmons. "We can fit 40,000 people on site. I'm a dreamer, so I want to see 40,000 people there."

Q: Using execSQL for INSERT operation in Android SQLite From the documentation and this post  I know execSQL()  executes a single SQL statement that is not a SELECT or any other SQL statement that returns data. It is also mentioned that execSQL() should not be used for inserting.
But I'm using execSQL() for inserting like:
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO LIST VALUES('খবর');"); //where LIST is a table

This is working perfectly for me (there is no SELECT statement with this INSERT), but I was told not to use this here.
So, my question is: does the INSERT statement return a value even though there is no SELECT statement attached to it?

A: You can use it, it is just not recommended because you won't receive any information that might be generated by the DB.  The methods you are supposed to use return codes/cursors/other info to let you know what happened so you can deal with them if there is a problem.
The key is this line in the execSQL docs:
It has no means to return any data (such as the number of affected rows). Instead, you're encouraged to use insert...

The important word there is "encouraged".  You can use execSQL for any SQL command, but you get no feedback on the process, which makes it rather dangerous to use for something where you should get feedback (unless you don't care than an insert failed, or only 2 of 5 records got updated).

A: INSERT statements do not return result sets, at least not in Sqlite.
The Android docs says this about execSQL:

Execute a single SQL statement that is NOT a SELECT or any other SQL
  statement that returns data. It has no means to return any data (such
  as the number of affected rows). Instead, you're encouraged to use
  insert(String, String, ContentValues), update(String, ContentValues,
  String, String[]), et al, when possible.

I am not an Android programmer, but I would certainly not be encouraged to use the insert function instead of execSQL, except if I want to retrieve the rowid of the inserted record. Furthermore, the quoted explanation is at best confusing as it implies that insert could return some data.
Note that it's possible that there is some side effect that would make insert a better choice than execSQL, or that "best practices" dictate you use insert.

A: insert operation can be done in the Following way
 SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();

    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
    values.put(KEY_NAME, contact.getName()); // Contact Name
    values.put(KEY_PH_NO, contact.getPhoneNumber()); // Contact Phone

    // Inserting Row
    db.insert(TABLE_CONTACTS, null, values);
    //2nd argument is String containing nullColumnHack
    db.close(); // Closing database connection
