A sloth's guide to surviving market volatility
This piece was published on 9 February 2018, about the rollercoaster ride of the stock market that week. The fact that it's published with a month's delay feels particularly appropriate, given the article's argument. – TH
What happened in the markets this week? That depends on how often you were looking. It was a brutal Monday — the S&P 500 was down more than 4 per cent, the worst day on the market for more than six years.
Tuesday continued the rout — at least at first. But anyone who had paused for a leisurely coffee on the way to the office might have wondered what all the fuss was about: by 9.25am on Tuesday morning, New York time, the S&P 500 was up 2 per cent from the opening plunge. After various adventures, Tuesday ended up the best day in more than a year.
Twenty-five minutes for coffee is a very long time in the life of a high-frequency trading algorithm, with trades timestamped with an accuracy of one-ten-thousandth of a second. A casual investor, though, can blink and miss it.
A few months ago, my wife asked me for advice about where to invest some money on behalf of her family. I was concerned that stocks seemed rather expensive and advised caution. My words of warning rang true this week, when it has felt like a time to be cautious — but the truth is that over a six-month timescale my advice cost her money.
Most investors should operate closer to that six-month timescale than to the frenetic fast-twitch world in which a coffee break lasts an eternity. Given the choice between investing fast or slow, the slower the better.
This is partly for the sake of sanity. The concept of "loss aversion" was developed by two founding figures in behavioural economics, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. Their experiments showed that we tend to find a modest loss roughly twice as painful as an equivalent gain. (Ponder the annoyance of losing £10 against the pleasure of finding £10 and you may agree.)
If you check the market every day, you will find it is down very nearly as often as it is up, and the pain of the downs will tend to outweigh the joy of the ups. But if you check less frequently you will have more reason to smile: unlike good days, good years are almost three times more likely than bad ones. Slow investing feels better.
Slow investing may also be more lucrative, at least for those of us who lack the technology to compete at the microsecond level. One laboratory study — by Mr Kahneman, Tversky, Alan Schwartz and last year's Nobel laureate economist Richard Thaler — invited participants to make investment allocation decisions over 200 "turns", each meant to simulate a few weeks of real investment. Some were allowed to reallocate every turn after observing what had just happened. Others had to wait and decide whether to reallocate after seeing the accumulated return over either eight or 40 turns, simulating months or years without peeking at the portfolio.
Those who were forced to evaluate and decide at a slow pace were — like real investors — less likely to witness losses. As a result, they were not intimidated by short-term fluctuations. They chose less conservative investments and could expect bigger profits.
Research into the behaviour of real-world investors has reached similar conclusions. One study, by Brad Barber and Terrance Odean, looked at the investments of 65,000 ordinary retail investors in the early 1990s, a time of sharply rising markets. Messrs Barber and Odean found that the less retail investors traded, the better able they were to keep up with the market as a whole. Active traders underperformed by six percentage points a year because trading costs eroded their profits. Lazy investors made more money.
There may be a broader lesson in this. Sometimes we have a clearer view of the world when we stand back from it. In 1965, two Norwegian sociologists, Johan Galtung and Mari Holmboe Ruge, pointed out that the speed of the news cycle affects what we see as news: "To single out one murder during a battle where there is one person killed every minute would make little sense."
A newspaper that was published once every 50 years — an idea proposed by Max Roser, an economist at Oxford university — might give us a much clearer perspective of what has gone right and wrong since 1968 than a stack of daily papers. The latest headlines: the world population growth rate has roughly halved and continues to fall. In 1968, nearly one in five children died before their fifth birthday; the rate is now lower than one in 20. Annual carbon-dioxide emissions have nearly tripled. Meanwhile the financial page reports that, over the past 50 years, the S&P 500 has delivered a total post-inflation return averaging almost 6 per cent per year — a 17-fold gain.
Perhaps we slow investors should adopt a mascot. I suggest the sloth. Hanging upside-down, moving at a few metres a minute, is much like trading infrequently: it saves the costs of doing things more quickly. Sloths take almost two months fully to digest each meal — which is handy, given that they eat mildly toxic leaves that would poison them if absorbed too quickly.
Investors are reminded, all too often, that the financial world is lush with toxic get-rich quick products. A slower approach to finance makes market movements a great deal more digestible.

These are two TOTALLY DIFFERENT coins. Bitcoin is meant to be used as a payment system and has recently also become a "hedge" to many investors. Ethereum is a coin that utilizes smart contracts on it's platform to create applications etc. It's coin Ether is meant to pay one another for those projects. The two are totally different coins.

Often magic is lost when we learn its secrets. Magic, we come to realize, manipulates our senses to appear as if it's defying the laws of physics. But when we discover this manipulation, we are likely to become cynics—magic loses its luster. Yet the magic that permeates the atmosphere of the BlackStar Film Festival has never faded for me, even after I joined the staff and fully appreciated the effort that goes into producing it. In spite of the time crunches and financial constraints associated with organizing a festival, and the fact that I no longer attend as an audience member, BlackStar will always enchant me. Each year the festival is adorned with a unique, vibrant aesthetic, making it a work of art in its own right, while also delivering the newest in independent Black cinema.
This radically inclusive vision that grounds BlackStar imagines a collective community for People of Color. To illustrate what a framework like this one means in practical terms, consider the theme of BlackStar 2016: migration. The obvious connection is the centennial of the Great Migration, a movement of Black Americans from the rural South to urban spaces in the North and West. Less obvious, however, is that festival staff are also thinking of ways to incorporate conversations about contemporary displacement and migrations across the global south—in Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and across Africa in festival programming. This dynamism and global focus makes BlackStar complex and unforgettable.
"We're engaged in politics and aesthetics that ask: what is a Black film? What are its elements? Whose voices are being heard?" Holmes clarifies. "It's easy for us to accept the boundaries that have been set upon us as Black people in this country because the images of us are very stereotyped, we buy into those stereotypes and we say that this is our space... who gets defined as Black and who gets to have these conversations, I want to shake that up. I want people to be unbounded." BlackStar, therefore, is a space in which filmmakers and audiences engage in the most important artistic, political, historical, and social conversations of the moment.
One way that Holmes cultivates such discussions at BlackStar is through her masterful curation. The short films, for example, are thematically presented so that they are in conversation with one another; and the films transcend national, gender, and geographic boundaries. Constructed this way, the festival speaks to the richness of the African diaspora. It is a festival that promotes community vitality by fostering a space for storytellers of color.
Nehad Khader is a writer, an editor, and aspiring image-maker. She is curator of the DC Palestinian Film & Arts Festival, with a deep passion for film and video art by People of Color, globally. Trained in Palestinian and Black literature, Nehad's interest in images revolves around more than aesthetics; she is interested in how images inform one another. She is fascinated with the anatomy of art, and given the chance to speak to her favorite creators, she will likely ask about process and inspiration.

Funeral services will be 2:00pm Monday, January 2, 2023 at Kelleytown Baptist Church, burial will be in the church cemetery. Visitation will be one hour prior to the services at Kelleytown Baptist Church Fellowship Hall.
Gertrud Lange King passed away peacefully in the early morning hours on December 29th. She was a loving woman who will forever be loved and cherished. Never to boast, her loved ones would describe her as selfless, caring and the matriarch of the family.
Born in Bad Hersfeld, Germany, to the late Karl and Marie Lange. She was the 2nd of 9 children and described herself as being somewhat mischievous as a young girl. Although her young life was not easy, she had fond memories, especially ice skating with her father and siblings.
She married the late Sgt. James Tyner in 1951 and moved to America to set up a home for her growing family. This would be where she would not only learn to cook, but excel in the kitchen. She had a special way with food and this was just one of the ways she showed her love. Gertrud also enjoyed crocheting and was an avid reader.
Faith and family were the most important things to Gertrud. Her family grew stronger when she married the late James "Jeff" King in 1971. As long-time residents of the Kelleytown community, they were well-respected and active members of their church where she enjoyed helping with children's programs. Sundays were especially important to them because after church the home would be filled with family to share Sunday dinners.
Gertrud enjoyed spending time with her 8 grandchildren 19 great grandchildren and 11 great-great grandchildren. Granny's home was always warm and welcoming. She was proud to be a homemaker and her home was a refuge filled with the smells of homemade bread pudding and apple pancakes.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Marion Jackson, Shirley (deceased), Alvin Tyner, Mike Tyner and Ginger Sylvester, Leni (Robert) Rosskopf (sister), Hermann (Ida) Lange (brother), Kaethe (Jerry) Combs (sister); grandchildren, Adrienne (Rob) Jaworski , Marie (Bryan) Fox, Hank Lee, Chris Lee (deceased), Meg (J.D.) Davis, Gina (Gene) Melton, Tina (Bob) Fittro, John Hodge. She was preceded in death by Margot Lange (sister), Gerda Fischer (sister), Gunther Lange (brother), Karl Lange (brother),

Whether you're trying to replace a lost full-time income or simply make some extra cash on the side, making money online is the easiest and most cost-effective way to meet your financial goals. It doesn't matter if you have only an hour a day to devote to increasing your income; there are a wide variety of options, including online freelance jobs, survey jobs, and online writing jobs. Although there are jobs that make money, none can provide the instant gratification of getting paid like these making money easily jobs.
Talented, focused writers can make a great part-time income from writing for the web, if they know where to look. While some find writing gigs on job boards such as Craigslist, be aware that there are no moderators to make sure you get paid. You must give them a certain level of trust when you take these writing jobs. You may spend days crafting a masterpiece, only to have it stolen or unpaid.
For writers just starting out, sites like Yahoo! Contributors Network (formerly Associated Content), TextBroker, Hubpages and Constant Content are safe, reliable, and fair. None of these sites charge a cent to participate, payment structures are crystal clear, and monies earned are deposited on time in the manner described. What's better is that you can participate with as many sites as you would like, as none demand exclusivity. I recommend Hubpages for beginners because you can literally write about any topic and the process for signing up is simple.
Online writing sites very rarely demand any level of education, as the writing quality is the primary focus. Even a literate, well-spoken high school dropout can craft tight, informative articles if they are so inclined. You could make anywhere from ten dollars a month to thousands, depending on the sites you use, the time you put in, and the quality of the work produced. Sign up for a writing service that can teach you how to earn money online just by writing.
If you're looking for an online work venue and are not a writer, ChaCha is another excellent resource. ChaCha is a human-powered search engine. Users' text in questions on wide variety of topics, and you answer them from your personal computer. There are no set schedules, minimums, or maximums. As long as you are an adult, have a high-speed Internet connection, and are computer literate, you can earn anywhere from a few dollars to several hundred dollars a month. A high school graduate would have no problem working for ChaCha.
KGB is another similar service that allows you to work freelance online. However, they do have set hours to which you must commit, and they demand a much higher educational level. Workers for KGB must be well-versed in basic algebra, trigonometry, history, and medicine. College graduates should have no problem handling their queries.
If you are looking for more professional jobs for making money easily with a much higher pay, consider the service, Elance. You can find just about any work available but the majority of jobs focus on writing, knowing computer databases, have programming skills and graphic designing.
All these freelance jobs will require an admission test, so be prepared to pass it.
Completing surveys are among the lowest-paid of online jobs, but there is still money to be made. If you are in a special industry like medical or pharmaceuticals, they will pay a lot more for your expertise. Sites such as Pinecone Research, Inbox Dollars and Cash Crate offer paid surveys, and they pay as agreed once you reach the minimum threshold for payout. While surveys can net anywhere from a few dollars to perhaps a hundred or so a month, it is strictly side income at best. Some survey programs will use a points system where you can redeem for cash. But do not worry, they do pay, based on personal experience and numerous reviews from other users. Sign up now as a new Inbox Dollar member and get $5 free.
In short, working online will provide you with an income comparable to the effort you put into it. By signing up for reputable sites, you can supplement your income easily.

The dynamics of populations evolving on an adaptive landscape depends on multiple factors, including the structure of the landscape, the rate of mutations, and effective population size. Existing theoretical work often makes ad hoc and simplifying assumptions about landscape structure, whereas experimental work can vary important parameters only to a limited extent. We here overcome some of these limitations by simulating the adaptive evolution of RNA molecules, whose fitness is determined by the thermodynamics of RNA secondary structure folding. We study the influence of mutation rates and population sizes on final mean population fitness, on the substitution rates of mutations, and on population diversity. We show that evolutionary dynamics cannot be understood as a function of mutation rate µ, population size N, or population mutation rate Nµ alone. For example, at a given mutation rate, clonal interference prevents the fixation of beneficial mutations as population size increases, but larger populations still arrive at a higher mean fitness. In addition, at the highest population mutation rates we study, mean final fitness increases with population size, because small populations are driven to low fitness by the relatively higher incidence of mutations they experience. Our observations show that mutation rate and population size can interact in complex ways to influence the adaptive dynamics of a population on a biophysically motivated fitness landscape.
Keywords: population size, rate of adaptation, fitness landscape, RNA secondary structure.

Q: C#: does using ref/out for a method parameter make any difference if an object variable is being passed?
Possible Duplicate:
Passing By ref and out

C#: does using ref/out for a method parameter make any difference if an object variable is being passed?
In C#, an object variable passes only a reference to the method, which means it is already a ref/out parameter.  Is this correct?

A: The instance is passed by reference. The pointer to the instance is passed by value, though.
If you use ref, the pointer is passed by reference as well - therefore you can use:
private void CustomDispose(ref object x) { x.Dispose(); x = null; }

CustomDispose(ref someInstance.someField);

someInstance's field will be assigned to null. It might be useful in Disposing via a custom method for example.

A: To confirm the first part of your question:

*

*when dealing with an object (instance) in .NET, you always deal with 2 entities: the actual, anonymous object and the named reference to that object. That reference is a field, variable or parameter.

*You cannot pass the object instance as a parameter at all, you can only pass the reference.

*You can pass a reference by reference, meaning you can make it point somewhere else

void SetNull(ref MyObject parameter)
{
   parameter = null;  // would make no sense w/o the ref
}

With much of the fall color scheme spreading across lawns on and near Ferris State University's campus, the Student Alumni Gold Club and other campus and student groups are encouraged to support Rake N' Run, on Sunday, Nov. 5.
Alumni Relations Coordinator Kevin Bunce, advisor to the Student Alumni Gold Club, said the outreach effort has grown since around 50 students took part in the initial program, in 2007.
SAGC President Kaylee Aldrich of Frankenmuth, a senior in Pre-Optometry, said a mass email will be sent to students explaining this opportunity. Faculty and staff will be invited to support Rake N' Run in a university-wide notice.
Bunce said the plan is to start offering this assistance at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 5, and to wrap up the effort by 2 p.m.
PHOTO CAPTION: Hundreds of Ferris State University students, faculty and staff are expected to volunteer their time on Sunday, Nov. 5, in the 11th annual Rake N' Run. This service opportunity is intended to support Big Rapids area residents who would otherwise struggle with lawn work, ahead of wintry weather.

Google's Pixel 2XL is a high-end phone that has been loaded with some brilliant features.You get the phone with Android Oreo 8.0 out of the box. Launched just a couple of months back the phone operates on Snapdragon 835 with a 4GB RAM. With a processor as powerful as this you can expect the phone to run flawlessly. However, there are some users who have been facing problems with the performance of Pixel 2XL. Let us take a look at how to fix Google Pixel 2 performance issues.
A smartphone will not slow down so soon. But if you are a lover of apps and games then there are chances of your phone getting sluggish. Yet, this is not something that cannot be prevented. You can improve the performance of your phone if you keep some few points in mind.
Always keep a check on the number of apps that are running in the background. They will not only consume energy but the internet as well.
There are chances that there is a specific app that is causing an unusual drain of battery in the day. Check your Battery settings if there is an app which is draining energy.
Another way to fix the Google Pixel 2 performance issues of your device is to check your phone for apps that are not in use. You may have installed several apps and with time many of them are usually forgotten. These apps use up space and battery. Uninstalling such apps could improve the performance of your device.
Keep a check on the storage of your phone. If your storage has crossed more than 90% then you should consider clearing some space to improve the performance issue that you have been facing.
Every app has their own cache and when this increases you may face system lags or frozen screens. You can clear the cache of the apps by following this method.
Clearing cache partition also helps in improving Google Pixel 2 Performance Issues.
The process of clearing cache partition will take some time.
Once again use Volume buttons and scroll down to Reboot System Now and confirm by using the Power button.
Clearing cache partition of your phone will make it faster and it will clear the bugs and problems too.


The London Coliseum will be the home of an array of stand-out shows over the coming year but from April 2013 all eyes will be on the return of Giacomo Puccini's "Le Bohème", Once again interpreted by the acclaimed Jonathan Miller. The four-act opera is a famous piece and has been so ever since it was first seen by audiences at the end of the 19th century; so much so that it is now one of the most widely recognised pieces in the world.
Its story of a tragic romance between the poet Rofolfo and the seamstress Mimi in 1830s Paris is updated to the 20th century in Miller's version of Puccini's work and this has allowed the piece to be enduringly relevant as its popularity continues in the 21st century.
Ever since it was first seen by audiences at the Teatro Regio in Turin in 1896 it has been seen all over the world on regular occasions, leading up to its contemporary appearances at the London Coliseum, whether it has been the classic version by Puccini or the modern version by Miller.
So in a year that also sees the likes of "Death in Venice" and "Medea", among others, "Le Bohème" begins its performances at the London Coliseum on Monday 29th April 2013.

by adsadmin · Published September 30, 2021 · Updated January 16, 2022
The Colorado Dahlia Society announced the loss of Don A. McAllister on July 31, 2021 at the age of 82. He passed away after an eight-year battle with Alzheimer's.
Don was born November 6, 1938, in Carlisle, MA, where he spent his early years and middle childhood. His family relocated to Troy, OH, for his adolescence years. He loved to spend his summers on Cuttyhunk Island, MA, where he worked in a family restaurant as well as with a tourist fishing outfit. He graduated from Troy High School, and continued on to Harvard University, graduating with a Bachelor Degree in Arts and Sciences.
Don moved to the western United States, where he was involved in computer sciences for various organizations. He pioneered some of the first computer programming.
He met his faithful wife, Carroll, and married in 1977. They were both avid dahlia growers. The City of Longmont, Colorado, awarded them with a proclamation for opening their dahlia garden for public enjoyment. They were honored with the Best Flower Garden Award by Denver's NBC affiliate in 1994.
Don was active as an officer and webmaster of the Colorado Dahlia Society website for many years. He participated in conference calls for the ADS officer meetings, serving as ADS Technical Resource person. He was constantly striving to share his love of dahlias by answering emails on a local level as well as nationally. Dahlia Alert was created to aid in better communication. He expanded the Big List of Dahlias, and promoted The Marketplace, where dahlia suppliers' information was easily available to members and growers. He encouraged virus research.
The American Dahlia Society awarded him their highest honor, The Gold Award, in Dec 2010, for his constant effort and involvement in promoting dahlias across the United States and the world. He constantly shared innovative ideas to make dahlia growing and showing easier.
In September 2021 The Colorado Dahlia Society posthumously honored Don at their only 2021 Show. Carroll was present to receive the Gold Medallion in honor of Don's enthusiasm for the dahlia, for our shows, and for his constant effort to improve our presentations.
Kelvin Floodlight (AA FD Y) and Colorado Classic (BB ID DB) were Don's favorite blooms. Carry Don's enthusiasm forward; plan on included one or both of these blooms in your garden for the upcoming season.
A Celebration of Life was held September 25 in Longmont. A number of club members attended, showering Carroll with beautiful dahlia bouquets. The family requests those who would like to express their sympathies, please consider making a charitable donation to the Alzheimer's Association in Don's name.

Marie-Madeleine de La Vieuville de La Tour Pavant, genannt Madame de Parabère (* 6. Oktober 1693 in Paris; † 13. August 1755 ebenda), war die offizielle Mätresse (Maîtresse en titre) von Philippe II. de Bourbon, duc d'Orléans (1674–1723), dem Regenten für den minderjährigen König Ludwig XV., und dadurch eine der wichtigsten Personen in der Zeit der Régence.

Leben

Herkunft und Ehe
Marie-Madeleine war eine Tochter von René François, Marquis de La Vieuville (1652–1719) und Marie-Louise de La Chaussée d'Eu († 1715). Ihr Vater war Chevalier d'honneur der Königin Maria Teresa de Austria und Gouverneur des Poitou; ihre Mutter war Dame d'atour von Marie Louise Élisabeth d'Orléans, Herzogin von Berry und Tochter von Philipp II. d'Orléans. Am 8. Juni 1711, im 18. Lebensjahr, heiratete sie in Paris den wesentlich älteren César-Alexandre de Baudéan, Marquis de Parabère, Mestre de camp d'un régiment de cavalerie, Brigadier des armées du roi, Sohn von Alexandre de Baudéan († 1702), Comte de Parabère et de Pardaillan, Lieutenant-général des armées du roi, und Marie Thérèse Mayault. In ihrer kurzen und nicht glücklichen Ehe bekam sie drei Kinder:
 Louis-Barnabé (* 14. März 1714), Comte de Parabère et de Pardaillan, zuvor Capitaine au Régiment Royal des Carabiniers, dann Abbé; ⚭ (1) Françoise-Claire de Gourgues († 13. Dezember 1757); ⚭ (2) 18. März 1760 Jeanne-Claude-Bernardine Gagne de Périgny, Tochter von Philibert Bernard, Président à mortier au Parlement de Bourgogne, und Jeanne-Marie Thesut de Ragy
 Louis-Henri (* 15. März 1715; † 28. September 1746), genannt le Chevalier de Parabère
 Gabrielle-Anne (* Oktober 1716); ⚭ 18. oder 19. Juli 1735 Graf Friedrich Rudolf von Rothenburg (* 9. September 1710; † 29. Dezember 1751), französischer Mestre de camp de Cavalerie, später königlich-preußischer Generalleutnant.

César-Alexandre de Beaudéan, Marquis de Parabère, war ein Gentilhomme aus dem Adel des Poitou. Er hatte aber kein Hofamt und scheint in der Armee mit den Lorbeeren seiner Vorfahren zufrieden gewesen zu sein, seine Ehefrau war somit auf ihre Mutter angewiesen, um am Hofleben teilnehmen zu können. Sie machte die Bekanntschaft von Henry St. John, 1. Viscount Bolingbroke, der von 1714 bis 1723 im Exil in Paris war,, und wurde vom Herzog von Orleans umworben, während ihre Mutter entschlossen war, sie daran zu hindern, dessen Geliebte zu werden. Nach dem Tod der Mutter (sie starb am 10. oder 11. September 1715 an Brustkrebs) und ihres Ehemanns (er starb am 13. Februar 1716 in Paris an den Pocken) konnte sie ein selbstbestimmtes Leben führen und dem Werben des Mätresse des Herzogs von Orléans nachgeben, der zu dieser Zeit bereits Regent war – wurde aber auch schon zu Lebzeiten ihres Mannes aktiv: Liselotte von der Pfalz, die Herzoginmutter von Orléans, schreibt im Frühjahr 1716: "Im vergangenen Winter ist etwas Lustiges passiert. Eine junge und hübsche Frau besuchte meinen Sohn in seinem Arbeitszimmer. Er schenkte ihr einen Diamanten von zweitausend Louisdor und eine Schachtel mit zweihundert. Die Dame hatte einen eifersüchtigen Ehemann; aber sie war so dreist, dass sie zu ihm ging und ihm sagte, dass Leute, die Geld brauchten, ihr diese Juwelen für eine Kleinigkeit anboten; sie bat ihn, diese gute Gelegenheit nicht zu verpassen. Der Ehemann glaubte das alles: Er gab seiner Frau das Geld, um das sie bat. Sie dankte ihm herzlich und nahm das Geld; sie steckte die Schachtel in ihre Tasche und den Diamanten an ihren Finger und ging dann zu einer angesehenen Gesellschaft. Sie wurde gefragt, woher der Ring und die Schachtel stammten. Sie antwortete: "M. de Parabère" (so nennt er sich) "gab sie mir". Der Ehemann war anwesend und sagte: "Ja, ich habe sie ihr gegeben. Können wir weniger tun, wenn wir eine gute Frau haben, die nur und ausschließlich ihren Ehemann liebt?" Dies erzeugte Gelächter; weil die anderen Leute nicht so einfach waren wie der Ehemann, und sie wussten sehr gut, woher diese Gaben kamen." Der Brief der Herzoginmutter legt nahe, dass die Beziehung zwischen Madame de Parabère und dem Herzog von Orléans bereits zu Lebzeiten ihres Ehemanns begann.

Maîtresse en titre
Noch im Jahr 1716 wurde sie die offizielle Geliebte des Regenten und eine zentrale Figur auf seinen berühmten privaten Feiern und in seinem Privatleben. Obwohl sie die wichtigste Mätresse des Regenten war, hatte er zahlreiche vorübergehende Partnerinnen, ebenso wie sie weitere kurzzeitige Partner hatte. Sie teilte ihren Platz als Mätresse mit Madame d'Argenton, Madame de Sabran, Madame d'Averne und Madame de Phalaris, wurde aber als seine Hauptmätresse bezeichnet. Zu ihren eigenen zusätzlichen Liebhabern gehörten der Chevalier de Matignon (1684–1766), der Marquis de Beringhen (1651–1723) und der Duc de Richelieu (1696–1788). Zahlreiche skandalöse Geschichten wurden über sie verbreitet, ebenso wie über den Regenten, so dass sie eine zentrale Figur in der damaligen Klatschpresse war.

Nach Angaben von Liselotte von der Pfalz, der Mutter des Regenten, bekam Madame de Parabère in diesen Jahren weitere zwei oder drei Kinder: für die Herzoginmutter war hier die Vaterschaft zweifelhaft, da "diese Frau eine entsetzlich schamlose Person" sei.

Marie-Madeleine de Parabère versuchte, ihre unehelichen Kinder vom Regenten anerkennen zulassen, scheiterte damit aber. Andererseits war sie 1719 in der Lage, das Marquisat du Blanc, zuvor Rochefort-en-Berry genannt, und das Herzogtum Damville (jeweils ohne den Titel) zu erwerben. Sie war zudem Eigentümerin des Hôtel de Parabére an der Place Vendôme, das sie zu ihrer Residenz machte und 1732 an Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur verkaufte, Président à mortier des Parlement de Bordeaux, der das Palais in Hôtel de Ségur umbenannte. Da der Regent seine Mätresse in seiner Nähe haben wollte, ließ er sie im Schloss Asnières in Asnières-sur-Seine nordwestlich von Paris wohnen, wo im Wechsel mit dem Palais Royal, dem Palais du Luxembourg und dem Schloss Saint-Cloud die abendlichen Gelage stattfanden – bis der Regent nach zwei Unfällen begann, den Aufenthalt dort zu meiden.

Ende 1720 geriet sie wegen seiner Untreue in Streit mit dem Regenten, konnte jedoch ihre Position noch einmal behaupten, bevor sie im Januar 1721 selbst die Beziehung beendete. Der Regent, der sie nicht verlieren wollte, besuchte sie zwar weiterhin, doch blieb die Trennung bestehen. Ein paar Monate später zog sie sich mit der Erklärung, sie wolle vergangene Sünden wieder gut machen in ein Kloster zurück, wo sie dann als Gast lebte.

Philippe II. de Bourbon, Duc d'Orléans, starb am 2. Dezember 1723 im Alter von 49 Jahren nach einem wiederholten Schlaganfall an den Folgen seines ausschweifenden Lebens. Marie-Madeleine de Parabère starb am 13. August 1755 im Alter von 61 Jahren in Paris.

Persönlichkeit
Liselotte von der Pfalz, die Herzoginmutter von Orléans, schreibt über die Mätresse ihres Sohnes in ihren Briefen:
 "Mein Sohn hat eine verdammte Geliebte, die wie ein Loch trinkt und ihm untreu ist; aber da sie um nichts bittet, ist er nicht eifersüchtig"
 "Sie ist von guter Figur, groß und gut gebaut; sie hat ein dunkles Gesicht und schminkt sich nicht; einen schönen Mund und schöne Augen; sie hat wenig Witz, ist aber ein schönes Stück frisches Fleisch."
 "Mein Sohn sagt, er habe sich an die Parabère gebunden, weil sie an nichts anderes als Unterhaltung denkt und sich in keine Angelegenheit einmischt. Es wäre großartig, wenn sie nicht so betrunken wäre."
 "Der kleine schwarze Rabe ist nicht unangenehm, aber sie ist eine Närrin."
 "Sie ist in der Lage, zu essen und zu trinken und gedankenlos zu sein; sie unterhält meinen Sohn und lässt ihn all seine Arbeit vergessen."

Eine freundlichere Beschreibung Marie-Madeleine de Parabères gibt der Historiker Jean-François Barrière im Jahr 1828: "Sie war schnell, leicht, launisch, hochmütig, leidenschaftlich; der Aufenthalt am Hof und die Gesellschaft des Regenten entwickelten bald dieses glückliche Naturell. Die Originalität ihres Geistes brach ohne Zurückhaltung hervor; ihre findigen Züge betrafen alle außer den Regenten; und von da an wurde sie die Seele all seiner Freuden, als seine Freuden keine Ausschweifungen waren. Es sollte hinzugefügt werden, dass kein Grundinteresse, keine Vorstellung von Ehrgeiz in das Verhalten der Gräfin eingegangen ist. Sie liebte den Regenten um seinetwillen; sie suchte in ihm den charmanten Gast, den liebenswürdigen Mann, und freute sich, ihn zu ignorieren, selbst wenn sie sich der Macht und den eifersüchtigen Transfers des Prinzen widersetzte."

Q: IntegrityError Primary Key Invalid I am following sentdex's tutorials for django web development, however I have hit a wall - the error shows:

django.db.utils.IntegrityError: The row in table 'main_tutorial' with primary key '1' has an invalid foreign key: main_tutorial.tutorial_series_id contains a value '1' that does not have a corresponding value in main_tutorialseries.id.

I've tried removing default=1,  and on_delete=models.SET_DEFAULT/CASCADE.
I've also tried deleting the SQL database, migrations.
I've tried using SQ Browser for SQlite to try and change things.
Sadly I've spent hours staring at this and trying to find an answer, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The code is :
from django.db import models
from datetime import datetime

class TutorialCategory(models.Model):

    tutorial_category = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    category_summary = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    category_slug = models.CharField(max_length=200, default=1)

    class Meta:
        # Gives the proper plural name for admin
        verbose_name_plural = "Categories"

    def __str__(self):
        return self.tutorial_category

class TutorialSeries(models.Model):
    tutorial_series = models.CharField(max_length=200, default=1)
    tutorial_category = models.ForeignKey(TutorialCategory, default=1,
                                          verbose_name="Category", on_delete=models.SET_DEFAULT)
    series_summary = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    class Meta:
        # otherwise we get "Tutorial Seriess in admin"
        verbose_name_plural = "Series"

    def __str__(self):
        return self.tutorial_series

class Tutorial(models.Model):
    tutorial_title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    tutorial_content = models.TextField()
    tutorial_published = models.DateTimeField('date published')

    tutorial_series = models.ForeignKey(TutorialSeries, default=1, verbose_name="Series", on_delete=models.SET_DEFAULT)
    tutorial_slug = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    def __str__(self):
        return self.tutorial_title

Any details to help walk me through this obstacle would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A: remove the default=1 and change models.SET_DEFAULT to models.CASCADE in your fields tutorial_series and tutorial_category
tutorial_category = models.ForeignKey(TutorialCategory, verbose_name="Category", on_delete=models.CASCADE)

and
tutorial_series = models.ForeignKey(TutorialSeries , verbose_name="Series", on_delete=models.CASCADE)

A: The first row in Tutorial is associated (via an FK) to a row in TutorialSeries which doesn't exist. i.e. Bad Data. You've got some options as to how you want to fix this:

*

*Perhaps you're getting this error because there's no data in TutorialSeries. So one option is to delete the row with the ID of 1 on the table Tutorial. This is an easy solution.

*Perhaps you deleted the FK row in TutorialSeries, in which case, add it back. Just make sure its ID is 1, so the PK will be associated to it. This might be an easy option too, especially if there's no other data in TutorialSeries.

*Perhaps there is data in TutorialSeries, just not any with the corresponding FK row ID.  So another option is to point the PK to another row in TutorialSeries. In others words, edit the bad data.

*Delete the migration. Change the FK default, and redo makemigration and migrate.

A: remove the default=1 and change models.SET_DEFAULT to models.CASCADE in your fields
like sachin mathew mentioned in the comment
then try Resetting your Django database
video :-refvideo

A: I found solution:

*

*Delete in dir migrations file with creating 'tutorial' model or change file with migrations if file create several models at once,  drop:

migrations.CreateModel(
            name='tutorial', ,,,,)

*Delete table 'main_tutorial' in db.sqlite3.

*Use "makemigrations" and "migrate"

*Profit)))

2016 Olympics: Visit Rio with 360-Degree Videos and Virtual Reality
By Greg Uyeno 2016-08-01T21:44:06Z
Rio: Beyond the Map is an interactive video experience
(Image: © Google/Screengrab)
If you're not traveling to Brazil for the Summer Olympics, you can still explore the geography and culture of Rio de Janeiro, courtesy of Google.
Rio: Beyond the Map, released to the public July 29, deftly blends archival materials with stunning video, interactive media and profiles of artistic Cariocas, as natives of Rio de Janeiro are called.
The project's title alludes to Rio's favelas, the poorly mapped neighborhoods where 1.4 million people, or 20 percent of the city's population, live without addresses, according to Google's blog post about the project. Mapping these regions is part of another Google initiative, the "On the Map" project. [14 Strangest Sights on Google Earth]
The experience begins with a 360-degree video of a motorcycle taxi ride up a hillside through the narrow, twisting streets of the São Carlos favela. The interactive landscape then allows users to learn more about landmarks, or watch short segments about artists from the favelas.
Beyond the Map is presented by Google Arts and Culture alongside thousands of images and video curated in partnership with local institutions. Each online exhibits focuses on different art forms and areas of the city, with interactive slideshows that showcase artwork and photography from Rio's rich past and present.
Google has also combined their familiar Street View technology with narration in virtual tours of more than 20 famous locations in Rio, such as the statue of Christ the Redeemer, with its panoramic views, or the white sand beach at Ipanema. The tours are also viewable as virtual reality experiences with a VR headset, such as Google Cardboard, and the Google Arts and Culture app on iOS or Android.
Rio de Janeiro will host the 2016 Olympic Games from Aug. 5 to 21. The Rio 2016 Paralympics will subsequently be held from Sept. 7 to 18.

Alex Berenson, who is a reporter for the New York Times, introduced the character of John Wells in his first published book. Wells stood out as one of the most amazing personages presented for readers in a novel. He was an American working for the CIA who had succeeded in joining a unit of the terrorist group Al Qaeda. They had gotten to trust him making him privy to their plans. John became so rapt in his role that he even learned to appreciate Islam's religion and converted to it.
After leaving the group with this mission accomplished, further books described the deeds of this dark individual in fighting terrorism. The Prisoner returns full circle to the beginnings of Wells' career.
A high level mole is thought to be active at the very top levels of the CIA. To find this traitor John is forced to repeat his actions of the first book. He must be arrested by Americans or their allies and be imprisoned with a terrorist who is thought to know who the mole is.
Wells gets himself captured in circumstances that would point to him being a member of ISIS, allowing him entree to the terrorist organization. What happens to John during his capture and while imprisoned is described graphically enough to follow Berenson's thoughts of the U.S. handling of terrorist suspects held outside of our country.
This book, like its predecessors, moves rapidly and keeps the reader glued to the pages following the process to its conclusions. There should be further novels featuring John Wells. He is just too interesting a character to let go without maximum development during the current conflicts with Islamic Terrorists. All Berenson's novels featuring Wells are all-nighters, and there is no reason not to assume that those following will be any different.
THE PRISONER by Alex Berenson. G.P. Putnam's Sons (January 31, 2017). ISBN 978-0399176159. 432p.
