Q: Verify python code with dependencies The Python project I'm working on consists of multiple classes / modules with focus on high code re-usability.
The problem I'm often faced with is: if one module is modified i.e. new parameter added to public method. How it can be verified that project still runs before the actual code is executed?
Is there a tool that can compile selected Python file and traverse through imported classes / methods and verify them as well?


White belt attained…moving on, feeling the power!
Blue hair guy already looks miffed that Dreu is not being derailed by his antics. I sense the tears of a clown will be falling in the near future.
I always seem to have much more on my Daily Targets than I can do in a day. I've seldom completed every task on my list…sometimes because I have unanticipated requirements on my time (usually important issues that cannot be tuned out). Should I always try to narrow my list to the things I can accomplish in the time I have available each day? Or, as I have done in the past, include everything that is of the most importance to me that day?
@dwillie Superb question. The answer depends on how that's working out for you. If you're OK with having some things left incomplete, and still do Start My Day every day, then keep it up. As a rule, though, I've found that most folks do better with shorter lists. It just feels better and this paradoxically boosts your productivity over time.
@Mark Joyner Actually, I think I'm better off completing my list every day possible. But sometimes estimating the time required is tough to do. And if my list is too long, sometimes I don't start my day for another day or two…and I see that as not the best approach.
So I need a doable list every day…not a list of just my top priorities.
@dwillie You might want to try planning on doing two rounds of SMD. You can do a longer full one to start in the morning, make the list intentionally super light (perhaps of things you're best at first thing in the morning). And then do a 2nd, shorter round – with all modules turned off. Splitting items up like this can allow you to optimize performance in other ways as well (some people are more creative in the morning – others in the afternoon – for example).
@Mark Joyner @dwillie Thanks for sharing and for your insights. I truly LOVE this software, Mark – helps me keep my ducks in a row (most of the time).
@Mark Joyner @dwillie Thank you both, for your questions and answers! I am in the same predicament as you, sir. I am going to try splitting it up into different lists and see if that helps me out. Sometimes when my Daily Targets list is so cumbersome it puts me in the mentality of "I'm not going to finish it anyway" and I get lethargic with finishing them.
The system is simple and intuitive; I applaud you for creating such a nice tool. But I feel like I'm being treated like an imbecile when doing my 'training'.
@AggieAgsB Yeah, it's impossible to please everyone with the training. We've made adjustments to White Belt so it's not so repetitive – there now being short and long versions. Plus you can fast-forward through the videos after the first 3 days. So, if one simply wants to get the repetition without the instruction, they can do that. We also plan to re-do the White Belt completely so that each day is different. All of the belts we've created from Orange on have unique videos each day, rather than a repetition of the same lesson.
@Mark Joyner OK, great. I must say that I've stuck to doing the training in spite of my comment above because it's nice to have someone tell you what to do and get you going at the start of each day — it truly is a way to get excited about the things you want to get done! I look forward to the variation in the Orange Belt training!
@AggieAgsB That's what we like to hear Looking forward to your feedback on Orange Belt!
@Mark Joyner @AggieAgsB Hey Mark I'd like to add my 2 cents worth here on this. I believe you're absolutely correct to make the White Belt training repetitious. As a Coach, one of the major challenges I see with clients is a 'habit' I call future-racing – people in such a hurry to get to a destination and not mastering the basic habits. This behaviour creates a strong tendency for people to give up too early and chase the next shiny object.
Please don't accede to people looking for an easy route – it's detrimental to themselves in the process.
If people persist through the White Belt then they are highly likely to continue their productivity growth and most likely with you. If they give up, they were not likely to remain at any rate.
Keep up the great work Mark. You and your team ar Simpleology are making a difference.
@LesGordon @AggieAgsB Hey Les, thanks for the really kind words. I agree about the repetition, of course. At the same time, I do wonder if we can engage the mind more effectively while at the same time ensuring all of the repetition gets done.
@Mark Joyner @AggieAgsB I have to practice my scales regularly over and over again. A lot of people hate repetition, but I made a living with it for 12 years and sometimes I hated it too. But it works!
@AggieAgsB Also, once the training has been produced all the way up to Black Belt, we'll probably go back and revise everything based on what we learn from the first folks who have gone through it.
Amber belt completed this morning. Streak at 64. Going strong.
A word about repetition. It is one of the least appreciated and most life changing choices we can make. There are deep muscle and mind memories developed, even if you think its "simple" or have some other judgement about it. Everyone has habits that lead us to do what we spend our time on every day. Its said that most people do the same things in the same way everyday. That they go to the same restaurants, visit the same places, etc. etc. Its another real live application of the Pareto principle (80/20).
If you skip ahead or think about your reaction to the training video repetition, then you are not doing the training. Your mind is focused on your objections or reactions. It has been shown over and over again that mastery is achieved after spending 10,000 hours actually DOING the activity. If you are annoyed or dissatisfied with the presentation, then you are not focused on just doing it and trusting it is having a deeper impact that you realize.
Will Mark and his crew keep working to improve it? I have absolute trust that they will. But that is a separate discussion from the impact of going through the routine day in and day out, and keeping your streak going. Trust that it is having an impact, and observe your thoughts to keep them clear and focused.
That's my take on it this morning. Thank you.
I just finished day 10 of my streak and am loving it! I'm using Kaizen – restricting allotted time and getting an amazing amount done.
Wax on, Wax off !!
Third of the way through my Blue Belt training. Streak at 80. Enjoying it immensely.
@tonylotven Your comments about repitition are spot on. Looking forward to even more fantastic things to come in Simpleology. Thanks to Mark and his Team.

'Come home to me': Family of missing KCK 3-year-old desperate to find her alive, safe
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The search for 3-year-old Olivia Jansen started Friday morning when her father walked into the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department and reported her missing. Since then…

Reactions: GrandmaBear and SheWhoMustNotBeNamed
This is very disturbing. And girlfriend's vehicle taped off. House with no power, etc.?? Anyone else try really hard not to go down this typical route earlier...? I did. Wondered about another half right off the bat for one (girlfriend)... Don't sound like dad is any prize though either... Had her at a house with no utilities etc.??
Reactions: GarAndMo39, SheWhoMustNotBeNamed and kdg411
neighbors might have cameras, too. It's amazing what you see happening at the edge of the view where nobody even realizes the camera reaches.
So per that article, they ACTUALLY live at the OTTAWA ST address and haven't lived at the Gibbs St address for 6 months. (This aligns with most of the rumors flying around on Facebook.) So, dad walks in and said he was staying at this house he hasn't lived at for 6 months and she disappeared from there? Yeah right.
Concerns with DCF. Drugs. Grandma hasn't seen Olivia since February. Girlfriend's vehicle taped off. This is not going to end well.
Dad's Facebook (pictures of Olivia on his page). His gf/wife? (they were planning on getting married on July 4) is linked on there. - Just remember he's not a suspect at this time. Just for reference.

That still doesn't rule out a custody issue. It seems to amplify the possibility to me.
Yeah did they still own this home? Must have almost to go back there, unless it was an abandoned property or a family property. No one may be a "suspect" yet but I sure am far away from a stranger or random abduction thought at the moment...
Never found dad's page, didn't know how to look I guess. Did a bit of a FB comment look....
Reactions: SheWhoMustNotBeNamed
This is making the walked in wording even more troubling for me. NO good reason to lie about where she was "missing" from!

I don't know... I can see the possibility but after hearing gf's car, etc. being secured and more, I am leaning in one direction... And looking at TWO people... Most likely...
Maybe they were dumb enough to think the other residence would not be searched...?
yeah, I'm pretty sure we all know where this is headed now and it's not good. Hoping for the slimmest possibility now
This is making the waked in wording even more troubling for me. NO good reason to lie about where she was "missing" from!
and language barrier is not an issue, either, it seems.
Same here. I hate being cynical and always try to have hope but these recent details...? I guess there is a SLIM chance the child's father is not involved... Sure not looking too likely though...

Police have found the body of a missing Kansas City, Kansas, girl whose disappearance triggered a statewide AMBER Alert.
Olivia Jansen was just 3 years old.
KCK Police said her body was found not far from 34th and Steele Road after getting a tip of a body off a trail. The area is just on the other side of Interstate 635 from where police searched most of the day.
Officers are still processing the scene, and they have not formally identified the body, but police are fairly certain it is the young girl.
The AMBER Alert has been canceled.

Updated article as far as "found" but I think they can get rid of the rest of still talking like this was an abduction, etc. I am not buying it.
KCKPD: 'Pretty sure' body found is that of missing 3-year-old

4. Point de l'ordre du jour
I DECISION ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PARAGRAPH 6 OF THE DOHA DECLARATION ON THE TRIPS AGREEMENT AND PUBLIC HEALTH
5. Déclaration/résumé de la déclaration
71. The representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that the Doha Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health, in affirming that the TRIPS Agreement "can and should be interpreted and implemented in a manner supportive of WTO Members' right to protect public health and, in particular, to promote access to medicines for all" marked a watershed in the international trade regime. It demonstrated that the multilateral rules-based trading system could be rendered compatible with public health interests. The WHO remained fully committed to supporting WTO and its Members in the implementation of this Declaration. The same commitment applied to the Decision, on which the WHO had recently published a paper, copies of which had been made available to delegates. The WHO explained that this paper examined the options available for countries to make use of the system to export and import generic versions of patented medicines produced under compulsory licences. Its approach was guided by the principle that patients in a country with little or no domestic pharmaceutical production capacity should be protected by compulsory licensing provisions (or, indeed, by other TRIPS safeguards) to the same extent as patients in countries capable of producing pharmaceutical products. 72. A public-health-oriented interpretation and implementation of the Decision would mean the following: full or broad coverage in terms of health problems and the appropriate range of medicines for their prevention and/or treatment; simple and speedy legal procedures in both importing and exporting countries; equality of opportunities for countries in need of medicines, even for products not patented in the importing country; a wide choice of potential suppliers of the medicines required, both from developed and developing countries; and transparency and predictability of the applicable rules in the exporting and importing countries. Ideally, all these elements should be incorporated into a stable international legal framework. He recalled that the Decision took the form of a waiver that was to remain in force until replaced by a permanent amendment to the TRIPS Agreement. In this regard, the WHO had noted with appreciation that the deadline for the amendment had been extended from June 2004 to the end of March 2005. During this interim period, therefore, it should be a priority for countries to make full and effective use of the waiver, including amending national legislations where necessary. 73. He said that it would be useful if country experiences and lessons on the use of the Decision were taken into account in the amendment of the TRIPS Agreement. However, it was noted that, to date, no WTO Member had made use of, or had notified its intention to make use of, the system that had been established under the Decision for importation. He said that it may be beneficial to undertake an assessment to ascertain the reasons for this as input into the debate on the issue of the adoption of an amendment to the TRIPS Agreement.

At the beginning of the year, when I was feeling so good, I did a fair amount of acrylic painting, as I said I'd wanted to. I liked, and still do, nearly all that I created. Some pieces are influenced by other artists whose work I love; many pieces are wholly my own.
But then I lost confidence, as depression engulfed me again. And I've stopped painting now...until I feel stronger.
Art, for me, has always been "something to do," a way to utilize my creative skills...but I've never felt compelled to make art, like "Make Art or Die." For many people, art is what "saves" them, especially when they're going through difficult times in other domains of their lives. It's not that way for me -- I need to be feeling good inside in order to push forward with art.
And when I say "push forward," what I mean is going outside my comfort zone. In looking back over my life as a whole, I can see that I pushed through comfort zones, virtually endlessly, in every area of my life, because I had to. The only option would have been to vegetate, to stay totally stuck wherever I was. And being a survivor, that wasn't an alternative I could have chosen.
I can't push myself right now to venture beyond my comfort zone, creatively. What I'm really comfortable with is collage, so that's where my creative energy is focused these days. Albeit I'm currently doing less here than previously, because my back and neck have been bothering me lately. Still, collage is what I continue to gravitate towards when the mood strikes.
Too, I have a couple of small knitting projects in the works, very simple scarves made with my own handspun silk yarns from 10 or more years ago. Rather mindless, but keeps my hands busy. I also sometimes have "cutting jags," where I'll spend whole days cutting out ephemera for collage, which I find meditative.
I've had to let go of my expectations for myself, regarding painting, or the making of art in general. It might even be that those hidden expectations, even though I kept trying to convince myself I didn't have any, contributed to my becoming depressed again. Other than my interactions with people, which in nearly all cases have soured with time, all of the stress that I continually experience is internally generated. I see that; I know that.
The healing is about learning, mentally and viscerally, how to do everything differently. And that is my own personal Mt. Everest.
I totally get this post. But back up a sec. I just never understand why we have come to think that we must step out of our comfort zone. Usually the end result is showing your effort to someone whether it is in person or here on the cyber world. You want approval for your efforts. Isn't that really the reason for the insecurity? Make your art when you want to in whatever media you want...just enjoy what you do whatever it is.
I still remember completing a project that I actually loved and was devastated when someone commented that is was "Quite Primitive". Nothing more said. For a bit it suppressed my subconscience desire to step outside my comfort zone. When I finally shook it off I got mad. Who did she think she was? She certainly was no Superior in the media I was attempting to try.
I hope you will paint, if that is what you want to do. I hope your meds help you to emerge from the Funk.
Having fought fits of depression and anxiety most of my life, I often find myself retreating to my comfort zone. I'm in and out as situations change, and as I get older, a bit less concerned or guilty about my retreats. We may never conquer our personal Everests, but learning and trying may be enough.
You are very brave, Connie. Reading what you wrote tells me you know yourself really well and you are doing what is necessary to heal. You have many supportive readers of which I am one. I love that you can collage monocromatically.. It is so calming to look at.

Donald Trump In The China Shop
Wednesday, 11 July 2018, 6:29 | Category : History, Politics
I read recently that the objective of the Cold War was to defeat the Soviet Union, but the achievement was to build the West. We've lived with the concept of "the West" so long we've forgotten that, prior to 1945, there was no such concept. The geopolitical paradigm was very much the Old World and the New, with fleeting acknowledgement of China and, to a lesser extent, Japan. Russia was part of Europe, even as it moved deeper into Communism. The United States, after World War I, retreated into isolationism to atone for it's mistake in joining a "European" war. World War II forced America to rejoin the world, but even in the victory-infused days of late 1945 there was no clear understanding of what that world would be. Europe was devastated by six years of modern total warfare. China as it had been viewed in 1940 had been revealed to be en empty shell. Japan, even in defeat, had ironically become the most significant Asian nation. There were two centers of power in the world, the United States and the Soviet Union, separated by a world laid waste. There was concern about what Stalin's Soviet Union would do, but there was no concept of "the West". There was only the concept of the Allies, which mostly meant the United States and the Soviet Union, with Britain as effectively a junior partner and France, Italy, and the other European allies almost auxiliary members. Britain and France hadn't yet accepted that their time as colonial powers was over. Germany was being disassembled piece by piece. There was concern about what the Soviet Union would do, and as it became obvious that Stalin was going to assert Soviet domination over Eastern Europe, the remaining Allied countries realized that the pre-war relationships would not be effective counters, especially after the Soviets began to isolate eastern Germany. Militarily, Britain, France, and the other European allies were too exhausted to offer any resistance should Stalin decide to move west. Thus NATO was born, first as a political association, and later, after the Korean War, as a standing military alliance. From the European perspective, the purpose was "to keep the Soviet Union out, the Americans in, and Germany down". Above all, they wanted to avoid a third war. And so, America joined the Old World, or more accurately, the Old World joined America, and the concept of the West was born.
From roughly 1950 until the fall of the Soviet Union, that was the world in which we lived, the West vs. the Communist bloc. Early on, "West" lost its geographical meaning – the addition of Japan was enough to demonstrate that – and attained a geopolitical meaning that far exceeded anything prewar Europe had defined. The United States dominated the directions taken by the West, whether militarily, economically, or even culturally. As the economies of other countries recovered from World War II, the economic dominance of America began to wain, as Japan and Germany especially grew their economies while the US was dealing with Reagan's increase in defense spending, instability in the oil markets, and a recession. But the West was still cohesive, and remained so through conflicts in Iraq, and Afghanistan, and Syria, at least initially. NATO gave the world 70 years of peace at a time when the weapons of war could easily end civilization as we know it. In 1949, few on either side of the Iron Curtain could have foreseen that.
Into this world came the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States. And in the eighteen months since his inauguration, he has confused, antagonized, and insulted our NATO allies over and over, while praising Vladimir Putin and taking every opportunity to cozy up to his authoritarian rule. With his limited grasp of history and geopolitics, he has become the classic bull in a china shop, except that he seems to be doing the damage deliberately, like a child who destroys something without knowing or caring what it does. Under Donald Trump, the United States is retreating from the world, creating vacuums which other nations – China and Russia in particular – will eagerly rush to fill. The damage he is doing to our international standing will take many, many years to repair, if indeed it can ever be done.
On September 12, 2001, the French newspaper Le Monde's headline read "Nous sommes tous Américains" – "We are all Americans". For the first time in its history, NATO invoked Article 5, which states that an attack on one member is an attack on all. At a time when America was as badly shaken as it as ever been, NATO – those same European allies that Donald Trump insults – rushed to make it clear that they stood with us. You have to wonder if they will do it the next time.
What I'm Reading Now…
Thursday, 23 October 2014, 20:26 | Category : Books, History, Life
is a lot of Cold War spy stuff. Novels – The Spy Who Came In From The Cold; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Non-fiction – Legacy Of Ashes (not just Cold War, but that was the driving force behind my picking it up), The Art Of Betrayal. It's not coincidence. After reading several books about the period leading up to World War I, and the war itself, I was looking for a new genre. And despite all the books I've read through the years, spy fiction and non-fiction was something I rarely delved into, unless you count some Tom Clancy novels during the 80s and 90s. But while I liked Clancy's stuff early on, there came a point, I think probably with Debt Of Honor, when it felt like Clancy would get two-thirds of the way through a book, get bored, and decide to just wrap it up. But I digress….
I grew up in the shadow of the Cold War. As an elementary school student in the early-mid 1960s, I lived in a world of atomic-bomb tests (we, students and teachers alike, still called them atomic bombs then, although I'm pretty sure everything was thermo-nuclear by then) and Civil Defense signs, and fallout shelters. A family up the street from us had a fallout shelter in their back yard. I never saw the inside – I never knew the family – but you could see the entrance to the shelter through their carport. All of those things were constant reminders that the Godless Russians might very well one day decide to blow us all to Kingdom Come. It was a strange time, I guess. We were not far removed from World War II, although at the time that seemed like ancient history. But we were only 20 years beyond that catastrophic struggle. Now I look back on things 20 years past, and I wonder about all the men and women – our fathers and mothers, aunts and uncles – who served or just lived through it, and I think about things that are now only 20 years in my past, and I think how strange it must have been for them. Maybe strange isn't the right word, but there they were, just two decades past an event that dwarfs anything I've experienced in my life, and yet the world they made for us was so normal, so seemingly free of problems. Except that atomic bomb thing. And then Vietnam, which was piped into our living rooms every evening at 5:30. My idyllic existence began to crumble a bit then, as I approached the teenage years, then the later teenage years, then draft eligibility. Vietnam was winding down by the time I was actually eligible, in 1972, but it was a cloud hanging in the distance during my high-school years. It was the Cold War turned hot, on the other side of the world.
So the Cold War has always held a certain fascination for me. What would have happened if it had ever really turned hot? What if Soviet armor had come pouring through Fulda Gap? I've read many books about what might have happened in a World War III. But the actual conflict was played out in the shadow world of espionage and counter-espionage. And so, when I went looking for a new subject area for reading, Cold War spies were waiting. And there's something else at play here, I think. The conflict between the West and the Communist Bloc, frightening though it was, seems so much simpler and more understandable than the world we're in today, with religious fanaticism and Third-World nationalism fueling an ever-changing set of enemies that don't match up well with our traditional means of applying resolutive force. It's almost a sense of nostalgia for a conflict that made more sense, even if the potential for national destruction was much, much higher. So, for now, I'm reading about Cold War spies. Duck, and cover.

I was in the band at Hinds Junior College (now Hinds Community College) in the fall of 1973. On Oct. 6 we had an away football, I think at Northeast Junior College – anyway, it was a long bus ride away. Since we had a game, I had stayed on campus that weekend, and with no access to TV or radio, didn't know anything about the onset of the Arab attacks on Israel. The news first began getting to us shortly before we got on the bus mid-afternoon, but I don't recall hearing much in the way of details. In fact, I don't think we realized there was much going on beyond some border attacks. By the time we got off the bus at Northeast, it was obvious from reports that there were serious battles going on, but we all remembered the Six Day's War and assumed the Israelis would rout the Arab forces. But by the time the game was over, and we were preparing to board the buses for the trip home, things were looking very different. Someone had a portable radio, and the reports were sounding grim. One of the band members had a brother in the army – maybe in the 101st Airborne – and he had called him right after the game – his brother told him the Soviets were mobilizing some forces, that his unit was being told to get ready, and that President Nixon had told the Soviets we would not allow them to intervene. I don't think any of that was really happening, but at the time we didn't know, and all during that 3 hour bus ride back we expected to get off the bus and find out that World War III had just started. By the next day we all knew better, but in the middle of the night on October 6, things seemed really on the brink. In these days of 24-hour news cycles and social networking, where you can know anything in a matter of minutes, it can be hard to realize just how difficult it could be to find out what was happening before CNN and the internet came along. This is maybe my most vivid experience of that.

Tags : D-Day, Omaha Beach
D-Day, June 6, 1944, was 9 years and 361 days before I was born. From the perspective of today, that seems like almost ancient history, a memory of another time. But when I was learning to walk, I was surrounded by men who could still hear the sounds, smell the scents, see the images of that brutal war. I forget that sometimes. I know I didn't appreciate that when I was young, seeing my father and other men his age as just people going to work, coming home, living the good life. World War II was sanitized for my generation by movies showing honor and glory, and summarized in history books, to be endlessly recreated with the army sets we received as Christmas and birthday presents. But there was a reality that was never far from the thoughts of many, and ever-present to some. We should never forget that.
In November 1960, the Atlantic Monthly published an article that didn't sanitize the events at Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944. The full article is here. I highly recommend reading it. Here are some excerpts:
Already the sea runs red. Even among some of the lightly wounded who jumped into shallow water the hits prove fatal. Knocked down by a bullet in the arm or weakened by fear and shock, they are unable to rise again and are drowned by the onrushing tide. Other wounded men drag themselves ashore and, on finding the sands, lie quiet from total exhaustion, only to be overtaken and killed by the water. A few move safely through the bullet swarm to the beach, then find that they cannot hold there. They return to the water to use it for body cover. Faces turned upward, so that their nostrils are out of water, they creep toward the land at the same rate as the tide. That is how most of the survivors make it. The less rugged or less clever seek the cover of enemy obstacles moored along the upper half of the beach and are knocked off by machine-gun fire…
Within seven minutes after the ramps drop, Able Company is inert and leaderless. At Boat No. 2, Lieutenant Tidrick takes a bullet through the throat as he jumps from the ramp into the water. He staggers onto the sand and flops down ten feet from Private First Class Leo J. Nash. Nash sees the blood spurting and hears the strangled words gasped by Tidrick: "Advance with the wire cutters!" It's futile; Nash has no cutters. To give the order, Tidrick has raised himself up on his hands and made himself a target for an instant. Nash, burrowing into the sand, sees machine gun bullets rip Tidrick from crown to pelvis. From the cliff above, the German gunners are shooting into the survivors as from a roof top.
Captain Taylor N. Fellers and Lieutenant Benjamin R. Kearfoot never make it. They had loaded with a section of thirty men in Boat No. 6 (Landing Craft, Assault, No. 1015). But exactly what happened to this boat and its human cargo was never to be known. No one saw the craft go down. How each man aboard it met death remains unreported. Half of the drowned bodies were later found along the beach. It is supposed that the others were claimed by the sea.
Along the beach, only one Able Company officer still lives — Lieutenant Elijah Nance, who is hit in the heel as he quits the boat and hit in the belly by a second bullet as he makes the sand. By the end of ten minutes, every sergeant is either dead or wounded. To the eyes of such men as Private Howard I. Grosser and Private First Class Gilbert G. Murdock, this clean sweep suggests that the Germans on the high ground have spotted all leaders and concentrated fire their way. Among the men who are still moving in with the tide, rifles, packs, and helmets have already been cast away in the interests of survival.
To the right of where Tidrick's boat is drifting with the tide, its coxswain lying dead next to the shell-shattered wheel, the seventh craft, carrying a medical section with one officer and sixteen men, noses toward the beach. The ramp drops. In that instant, two machine guns concentrate their fire on the opening. Not a man is given time to jump. All aboard are cut down where they stand.
Russia's War
Tuesday, 10 August 2010, 17:40 | Category : Books, History
I recently finished reading "Russia's War: A History of the Soviet Effort: 1941-1945". I've read many books on World War II, from many perspectives, but I'd never read one on the part of the war that involved Germany and the Soviet Union. I realize now that part of the reason for that is the lack of information about the Soviet effort prior to the fall of that nation in 1991. With the archives more accessible, a book like this one could be written. I knew from earlier reading that the Soviets contributed massive numbers of men to the war, but reading this book made me appreciate what they did far more than before. As a good American son of a World War II veteran, I grew up firmly ensconsced in the belief that the United States saved the Old World by overwhelming the Germans, Italians, and Japanese when they had the Allies pinned back against the wall. Accounts like the one in this book, however, make you question some things. At the time of the Normandy invasion, the Soviets were facing four to five times as many German troops as the US, British, and other Allied armies. The strength of the German army was being, and had been for a year, sapped in the East. I'm not belittling the efforts of the United States and Britain, but an honest assessment has to give the Russians their due. The United States truly was the Arsenal of Democracy, but the Russians supplied the bulk of the manpower and suffered the most casualties by far. Their industries turned out amazing numbers of tanks, guns, and other military hardware, by devoting nearly all their industrial capacity to the tools of war. But they were able to do this because the United States provided much of the remaining goods needed by a nation. In all ways, it was a combined effort.
But I knew much of that already, for the basic facts of manpower and casualty numbers were known. There was something else that caught my attention. During the 1960s and 1970s, when the Cold War was churning, it was always acknowledged that in the event of the Cold War turning hot, the Soviets would have a huge edge in manpower and tanks. The "party line" I always heard, however, was that the US and NATO would be able to balance that with the greater innovation and resourcefulness that would be inherent in "our" side, because of the differences between our respective societies, free world versus regimented, totalitarian world. But what struck me in this book was how, in the early days of the German attack on the Soviet Union, how junior and mid-level officers were able to change strategy and tactics to adapt to changing battlefield conditions, often in the absence of communications with higher command. It made me think that, in yet another way, it was a very good thing that the balloon never went up.

Previous, AdSense had a maximum limit of 3 ad units for their users like me and you. (while "premium partners" enjoyed serving up to 6 ad units).
In August 2016, AdSense lifted the ad unit limit for every site.
You can now place an unlimited amount of AdSense ads on a page/post/website.
However, advertising and other paid promotional material added to your pages should not exceed your content.
You also need to maintain the quality of your website or blog.
AdSense Content Units are available in following sizes.
Privately, I have found 336*280 and 160*600 to be the most effective.
For only a big website, AdSense For Search units perform really well. If you have not yet set up AdSense For Search units, read our guide to set up AdSense for Search unit.
How many Google ads are allowed per page in 2019?
As mentioned above, Google has lifted the limit restrictions. As long as your ads do not exceed your content, there is no upper limit on the number of ads on a single page or post or Website/Blog.
It's important for you to note that while picking the number of ads, you should think about the short posts on your blog/website. If you decide to place more than 5-6 ad units on your post, and you are placing them sitewide using a plugin, you might be spamming your own short posts with a large number of ads.
So I suggest you keep less than 5 ads per page.
Let me know how many AdSense ad units you are using on your blog. Now that Google has lifted the limit, are you using more AdSense ad units, or are you keeping it the same? Share your experience in the comments!

Rohini Hensman's Indefensible: The ISO discovers its muse—the CIA—Part 4
By Alex Lantier
The following is the conclusion of a four- part review of Indefensible: Democracy, Counterrevolution, and the Rhetoric of Anti-Imperialism.
Part one | Part two | Part three | Part four
Imperialist propaganda backing assault on democratic rights
Hensman's attempts to provide a moral-humanitarian rationale for supporting imperialist wars as "democratic revolutions" form an obscene political lie. The end of the Soviet Union did not spell the final triumph of capitalist democracy, as foreseen by Hensman, and leave US wars as a glorious mechanism to advance democracy worldwide. Rather, as the ICFI insisted, it was part of a mortal crisis of the capitalist political system, based around US world hegemony, that emerged from World War II.
Hensman, it has already been noted, supports US and European imperialism because she sees in them "democratic states that allow working people to fight back against the forces exploiting and oppressing them." Likewise, she considers their wars for regime change an attempt to export their political system. This is yet another falsehood, based on Hensman's indifference towards democratic rights. In fact, her vicious attacks on left-wing opponents of imperialism align her with forces that are not only preparing for world war against Russia, but waging savage austerity against workers and building police state regimes in America, Europe and beyond.
Hensman hysterically attacks Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks. Assange has been trapped inside the Ecuadorian embassy for six years, fighting trumped-up rape allegations that are part of Washington's attempt to extradite him to the United States and try him on espionage charges for publishing evidence of US war crimes and other official criminality in Iraq and elsewhere. Hensman, however, crudely denounces the courageous whistleblower as a tool of Putin.
She writes, "pseudo-anti-imperialists will support any regime that is supported by Russia, no matter how right wing it may be – just like WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, whose affinity to Putin led him to help Trump win the US presidency and continue to support him thereafter (Beauchamp 2017; Boot 2017; Ioffe 2017). The neo-Stalinists influence many people ... who may not be Stalinists and may even call themselves Trotskyists, like the International Committee of the Fourth International."
Characteristically, Hensman makes no argument and provides no evidence to support her claim that Assange has an "affinity" for Vladimir Putin. She quotes right-wing war propagandists denouncing Assange, like Wall Street Journal and Weekly Standard editor Max Boot, whose word is clearly good enough for Hensman.
Such groundless accusations against Assange are Hensman's contribution to the mass anti-Russian campaign in the US media and political establishment, led by the Democratic Party. Totally unsubstantiated accusations of Russian meddling in US elections have served as a pretext for moves to censor the Internet, block the WSWS and other anti-war web sites from appearing in Google searches, and prepare large-scale censorship of web search engines and social media.
Hensman, the ISO and their allies are joining the ruling elite's move to censor the internet and build a police state in America, based on the claim that this is the only way to protect America from "Russian meddling." In fact, the real target of this deeply anti-democratic campaign is the growing social opposition among workers and youth to low wages, super exploitation, war and endless police killings.
Hensman's hostility to democratic rights extends across the Atlantic to Europe. There, her defense of the Syrian war turned into a bitter attack on political opponents of the state of emergency in France, imposed after the ISIS terror attacks in Paris targeting restaurants, the Bataclan theater, and the Stade de France football stadium on November 13, 2015.
Hensman condemns left-wing "reactions to the ISIS attacks of November 2015 in Paris, many of which attributed them either to 'blowback' from Western intervention in Muslim countries, or to a reaction to racist discrimination against people of African origin in France and Belgium … 'The attackers targeted sites of inclusiveness and conversation,' and 'explaining' this right-wing assault in any other way than recognising it for what it is entails participating in targeting the most progressive features of 'the West.'"
The ISIS terror attacks in Paris and across Europe were the outcome of the reactionary war in Syria waged by European imperialism in alliance with Washington and ISIS. The November 13 attacks in Paris, like all those that ensued in Europe, were carried out by ISIS operatives who were well known to NATO intelligence agencies. Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the leader of the operation and key recruiter for ISIS, boasted on social media that he could freely cross borders across Europe and the broader region, even though he was the subject of an international arrest warrant.
Despite the official condemnations of ISIS, Abaaoud's recruitment network was tolerated by French and NATO intelligence as a key asset in the war for regime change in Syria.
For Hensman, making this point—which is now recognized by over a fifth of the French people—is to attack "the most progressive features of 'the West.'" This is another political fraud. The state of emergency entailed suspending basic democratic rights, handing police the right to carry out arbitrary searches and seizures, censor the media and massively spy on the population in order to prepare major attacks on the working class.
Significantly, deputies of the Left Front—the allies of Gilbert Achcar's NPA—voted to first impose the state of emergency in the National Assembly in November 2015. This indicates the broad support for attacks on democratic rights within the affluent middle-class milieu of the ISO.
The state of emergency was used to suppress mass demonstrations by workers and youth against French President François Hollande's labor law and ram it through parliament without even a vote. This labor law, supplemented by President Emmanuel Macron's labor decrees, which he unilaterally imposed after talks with the trade unions, now serves as the basic framework for Macron to tear up all the social gains of the French working class after the Liberation from Nazi Occupation.
As he hands tens of billions of euros in tax breaks to the rich, Macron is planning to spend €300 billion over the next five years to build up France's military machine and bring back the draft. At the same time, he is slashing wage levels for rail and public sector workers, privatizing the National Railways, and planning historic cuts to pensions, health care, unemployment compensation, and other key programs. The class content of his policy is exemplified by his recent decision to hail France's Nazi-collaborationist dictator, Philippe Pétain, as a military hero.
With her promotion of pro-war and neo-fascistic anti-Russian sentiments, Hensman is backing attempts by the capitalist ruling class to repudiate all the social concessions made in the 20th century, in order to prepare a new world war in the 21st. Attempts to give this policy a democratic gloss are fraudulent. The one "democratic revolution" she presents as entirely accomplished—the US-led regime change operation that brought Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena to power in the 2015 elections—is a case in point.
As Washington was preparing this regime change operation, it was also backing UN threats to try officials in the previous government of President Mahinda Rajapakse for the mass murder of Tamil civilians and Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) fighters at the end of the Sri Lankan civil war in 2009. This provoked criticism of Washington's hypocrisy, given its massacre of hundreds of thousands of people in US-occupied Iraq, and its support for officials involved in the 2009 massacre, like General Sarath Fonseka. In order to defend the regime change operation that ultimately unfolded, Hensman bitterly attacks such criticism:
It is legitimate to question the motives of Western governments or their double standards when they support human rights and democracy in certain instances and not in others; but what justification is there for opposing them when they ask for accountability for war crimes … ? That is exactly what these 'anti-imperialist' icons of twenty-first-century socialism were doing in the case of Sri Lanka. There was no question of sanctions against Sri Lanka, much less military action; all that was being debated were the UNHRC resolutions that might have embarrassed the regime in power and helped opponents to replace it with one which had more respect for human rights and democracy. While that did not materialise in 2009, it did in subsequent years. When Sri Lankans did eventually manage to bring about regime change in 2015, it was no thanks to the pseudo-anti-imperialists.
In fact, the coalition government cobbled together, in talks involving the Clinton Foundation and the CIA, between factions of Sirisena's Sri Lankan Freedom Party (SLFP) and the right-wing United National Party (UNP), had no more "respect for human rights and democracy" than its predecessor. Sirisena himself had overseen the horrific 2009 massacre at Mullivaikal, as Rajapakse's acting defense secretary. And he included in his cabinet Sarath Fonseka, the Sri Lankan Army commander, who planned and led the massacre. They had no intention of trying those responsible for the mass murder, because they themselves were responsible for it.
US imperialism's purpose in installing Sirisena in power was not to grant democratic rights to the population of Sri Lanka, but to oust Rajapakse, whom it saw as too close to China, Washington's main geostrategic rival in Asia.
The outcome of the 2015 regime change operation vindicated not the views of Tamil bourgeois defenders of US imperialism, like Hensman, but Leon Trotsky's Theory of Permanent Revolution. As Trotsky explained, the bourgeoisie of the ex-colonial countries, hopelessly tied to imperialism, is incapable of resolving any significant democratic issue. Their resolution requires a struggle waged by the working class on the basis of a socialist and anti-capitalist program.
The regime change did not resolve any of the political issues facing workers in Sri Lanka, or the Tamil population. Ruined by the war, the Sirisena regime sought financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in exchange for austerity measures, which provoked growing protests from workers, youth and peasants. Throughout, it deployed the Sri Lankan army to police the Tamil-majority north and east of Sri Lanka, and to jail thousands of Tamil political prisoners.
Ultimately, it took less than four years for Hensman's supposedly successful democratic revolution in Sri Lanka to collapse. This year, amid growing strikes and social struggles, Sirisena ousted his prime minister, right-winger Ranil Wickremesinghe, and tried to install Mahinda Rajapakse—whom Hensman had described as the target for overthrow by a democratic revolution—as prime minister. This provoked a bitter and ruthless faction fight within Colombo's political establishment.
Hensman's enthusiasm for imperialist regime change in her native country, based on the lie that this produces "more respect for human rights and democracy," testifies to her political bankruptcy. Imperialism, Lenin famously remarked, is "reaction all down the line." Attempting to cast herself as a prophet of imperialism's goodness, Hensman has emerged as a defender of war, social regression and police-state repression across the globe.
The ICFI and the pseudo left
Great crises ruthlessly expose the class character of political organizations. The crisis through which world capitalism is passing—marked by the disintegration of US world hegemony established in World War II, and by constant threats of a new world war—has exposed the "left" parties of the affluent middle class. Their publication of Indefensible and their endorsement of Hensman's arguments supporting imperialist war, brand them as conscious agents of capitalist reaction.
Broad masses of workers and youth around the world are moving in a diametrically opposite direction. They are becoming ever more outraged by endless war and austerity, and are becoming supportive of socialism. This is a dramatic vindication of the ICFI's decades-long defense of Trotskyism against Stalinism, "state capitalist" forces like the ISO, and Pabloites, such as the French NPA and Australian SA.
What separates the ICFI from these groups, which the ICFI has defined as the "pseudo left," are not tactical differences within left politics, but the class gulf between a proletarian internationalist tendency fighting for world socialist revolution and reactionary, pro-imperialist parties of the affluent middle class. Hensman's embrace of US wars, waged in alliance with Al Qaeda-linked Islamists and Ukrainian fascists, is an irrefutable illustration of this political reality.
Indefensible is, itself, the product of the corrupt links between corporate and CIA-linked foundations and the affluent middle class operatives that run Haymarket Books and the ISO. The Lannan Foundation, which was established by J. Patrick Lannan, and now helps fund salaries and expenses for Haymarket Books, is a classical example.
The New York Times identified Lannan in a September 27, 1983 obituary as a "business executive, financial consultant and patron of the arts," who had served as "a director of the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation for 36 years. He retired as director emeritus last May." The Times also applauded Lannan for having "established the Lannan Foundation to give financial help to needy artists and writers."
This identification of Lannan as a director of International Telephone and Telegraph (ITT) from the 1940s to the early 1980s is significant: ITT was a major force behind the 1973 coup in Chile that toppled Salvador Allende and installed the bloody dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Angered by Allende's nationalization of its stake in the Chilean Telephone Company, ITT funded and supported right-wing demonstrations in the run-up to Pinochet's coup.
And ITT's beneficiaries at the Lannan Foundation and at Haymarket Books still act today to corrupt and bribe academics and journalists, who churn out publications compatible with the ISO's orientation to the Democratic Party and US corporate interests. When mass struggles develop in the working class, it will not take long for the unbridgeable gulf separating them from the workers to be fully exposed. The alternative for the working class, in America and internationally, is to turn to the traditions of the October Revolution and of Trotskyism, defended today only by the International Committee of the Fourth International.

Over spring break I visited the beautiful island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Take a look at some of the beauty captured and what makes this island, "nature's little secret".
5. Explore the baths on Virgin Gorda.
4. Eat a roti, and make a stop at the chicken stand.
3. Scuba dive, paddleboard and watch the sunset all in the same day. Throw in a bon fire if you aren't too tired.
2. Hit the Bomba Shack and Last Resort. Everyone loves a good island party!
1. Rent a boat for two and cruise through to the different islands. There are about 60 different islands so there is a lot to see!
I love collages, what better way to demonstrate the island's variety of colour than with pictures of doors from Road Town!?
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these flowers. Last year I took a shot of the first picture seen here and came back to the exact spot only to have found more of these tiny flowers peering up to catch some sun.
I waited days to take a picture of this red door. Every time I came by it, there was always a car illegally parked in its way. Here's the trick: wake up really really early on a weekend. Behind these doors was the first prison on the island, and it is recorded that many of the prisoners bodies were buried on the grounds.
Night shots. Love them and get take enough of them! I love the red colours that pop!
My new favourite colour combo.
Bananakeet Cafe. Best view of the sunset.
This next photo has to be one of my favourites ever taken. I can't get over the dramatic contract of a beautiful sunset mixed with heavy clouds rolling in. This one was taken right from the view of the house Dramatic!
Off the beaten track. Venturing through Sage Mountain National Park, I just had to take a shot of the red sand beneath my blue flip flops.
Right outside the front door. :O !!!!!
An amazingly pink sunset, fit perfectly in time with a romantic dinner.
Private Island for the day, Sandy spit. I jumped right off the boat and swam alone (eeeek) to enjoy the peace of having the island all to myself.

Kevin Curtis Kennedy (born May 26, 1954) is a former manager in American Major League Baseball and a former television host for Fox Sports' baseball coverage. He was given the nickname "The Skipper" by Fox Sports due to his prior managerial career. Kennedy joined the Tampa Bay Rays broadcast team for the 2009 baseball season as a replacement for Joe Magrane.

Biography

Early life and career
Born in Los Angeles, Kevin Kennedy graduated from Taft High School in Woodland Hills, California in 1972, where he was a classmate of Robin Yount.

He attended San Diego State University and was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 8th round of the 1976 Major League Baseball Draft.

Kennedy was a career minor league catcher who played in the Orioles, St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers farm systems. In 510 career games, he hit .238 with 12 homers and 178 RBI. While with the Pawtucket Red Sox in 1981, he was the only player from either team to not play in the longest professional baseball game of all time versus the Rochester Red Wings.

He retired from playing after the 1983 season and became a manager in the Dodgers farm system for the Great Falls Dodgers (1984–1986), Bakersfield Dodgers (1987), San Antonio Missions (1988) and Albuquerque Dukes (1989–1991).

He was subsequently the bench coach for the Montreal Expos during the 1992 season.

Managerial career

Texas Rangers
He then was hired to manage the Texas Rangers for the 1993 season after the firing of Bobby Valentine and Toby Harrah. Kennedy was let go following the strike-shortened 1994 season after posting only a 52–62 record (even though, at the time of the strike, it was good enough for first place in the division) and was replaced by Johnny Oates.

Boston Red Sox
For the 1995 season, Kennedy became the manager for the Boston Red Sox. He led them to their first postseason appearance since 1990, but they were swept by the Cleveland Indians in the playoffs. Kennedy was fired following the 1996 season after going from a .597 to a .525 winning percentage.

Managerial record

Broadcasting career
In 1997 Kennedy joined ESPN as a color analyst on the network's Wednesday Night Baseball telecasts, performing the same role on ESPN Radio's Sunday Night Baseball in 1998 and on Fox Sports Net's Thursday Night Baseball in 1999 and 2000. From 2001 to 2008, he was a studio analyst for baseball on Fox, teaming with host Jeanne Zelasko. He also contributed to Fox Sports Net's Best Damn Sports Show Period and hosted a radio program on FOX Sports Radio, and was a regular co-host of Dodgers Live on Prime Ticket at this time.

In 2009 Kennedy took a job as a part-time television analyst for the Tampa Bay Rays, sharing the duty with former Rays pitcher Brian Anderson. Kennedy and Anderson both replaced Joe Magrane, who is now a part of the MLB Network. Kennedy returned to the Dodgers' postgame show for the 2009 postseason.

In October 2010 it was announced that Kennedy would not be returning to the Rays' broadcast crew in the 2011 season.

Kevin co-hosted Power Alley with Jim Duquette on Sirius XM's MLB Network Radio on Sirius 209/XM 89 from 10 am – 2 pm EST in 2011.

From 2014 through 2018, Kennedy teamed with Rick Monday to call select games on the Dodgers Radio Network and occasionally co-hosted the team's Dodger Talk radio post-game show.

Other media
In October 2019, Kennedy started doing podcasts of The Kevin Kennedy Show with Rich Grisham of Out of the Park Baseball and launched an official website where he teaches baseball instruction videos, has a blog, and hosts Q&A with fans.

Since the proposed tundra tileset never made it into the final game, I decided to make my own and fully integrate the already partially implemented tileset. Now this tileset isn't fully complete, I've just added outdoor forest and wooden cabin props so far, but there's enough to allow me to publish it. The civilians and local forces used in this are taken from the Soviet tileset. Props used are "tundra-fied" (making artic trees less snowy, adding frost to farm logs, etc.) versions of props taken from other tilesets. I've updated the tileset masks on the geoscape, so mainly Canada and upper Eurasia have tundra, at the expense of less industrial (which is the most common tileset anyway).
I've made 2 maps for each ufo size (lightscout, small, medium, large). That might not sound like a lot, but they are forest themed (which a few people have been requesting on the forums in the past ), which allowed me to construct them out of loads of random variants of submaps, so no map should be the same twice. I also created some variants of wooden cabins, but I've not had much time to expand on it yet. As the maps are random forests and are quite cramped, they probably wont be suited for vehicles, and saving for reaction fire is highly recommended against ambushing enemies. There is quite a lot of cover in the maps, but they disintegrated very quickly after a few shots, so vision blocking props (e.g. trees) are your safest bet. Maps have been made with Goldhawk standards in mind. I am not the best mapmaker, this is only to give you an idea of potential.
Of course, anyone can use the assets in the mod to create their own maps, there a lot of better and more experienced map makers out there, but please use the current tiles in the tundra folder, don't mix and match props from other tilesets, or if its really necessary, copy the tile images and spectre into the "copies" folder in the tundra tileset, and edit the spectre accordingly(make sure the spectre paths to the images in the tundra/copies/ folder, and not the previous path). It just makes it easier if a compilation of maps is done further down the line.
Great looking stuff! Thanks for doing this.
Your tundra-fu is strong - it looks great!
I wish there was a way to implement a civilian bear.
You could actually probably do that. It would have the same stats as anything else, and I don't know how well the AI would cope with using a melee weapon (if you cared about it actually attacking things). But otherwise it would just be a matter of doing the artwork, pretty much.
There would also be the problem of the bear counting as a civilian in mission summary.
Pvt. Jenkins: Sir, all civilinas are dead, I repeat, all civlians are dead.
Cpl. Eales: Jenkins, are you blind, there is one still alive behind those trees.
Pvt. Jenkins: But, sir, that is a bear!
Cpl. Eales Cover the bear with your own body Jenkins. We cannot afford any more civilian casuelties.
Cpl. Eales: Now look Jenkins, you're a good lad but Brezhnev is threatning that the Soviets will leave the alliance if we let anymore civilians die. They are already on the verge, Jenkins. Last week a light Ufo scout terrorised Kamchatka cos we didn't think that it was strategically important and none of our interceptors can fly to that God forsaken place.
Pvt. Jenkins: But why do they care about a bear?
Cpl. Eales: It's about national symbols, Jenkins. The aliens are targeting national symbols... Most of Mother Russia's distilleries have already been destroyed. Without vodka, bears are Russias only reliable manpower...If we let bears die too... the soviet block will surely fall.
You make a convincing case.
Nice. The original tundra tileset was originally planned to use the Soviet Town ground tiles - the pale green grass etc - along with those buildings. It was basically a rural version of the Soviet Town tileset (or rather it was literally us just making a Day-Z tileset). You could recreate that if you want, as we weren't planning to use many new tiles that weren't in the Soviet Town tileset already.
Otherwise I think you may end up a little too close to the Arctic tileset for the Tundra maps to have their own distinct identity.
Yeah, I remember you saying it was meant be rural soviet style when it was discussed ages ago, so I've been keeping that in mind. I also wanted to make it a little different than the soviet tileset, and with only arctic trees fitting the style (which i've tried to look less snowy), led to me making the ground look colder, and therefore also the props. Rural villages are what i'll be working on next, which will be eventually be the main identity for the tileset, with the current random forests and later on military bases to provide some variety. But they'll require more ground tiles such as roads, which takes a while to alter (the basic pale green grass in the tileset is just soviet grass with a semi-transparent overlay of artic snow, but it consists of 100 tiles and spectres which i did individually). I did forests first because it takes the least effort to produce a good amount of variation, just using a lot of random submaps. I've tried to differentiate the current forest maps from arctic forest by having them more densely filled with props (bushes, logs, etc.) and I'll see about adding that tall grass from the farm tileset to make it look more wild, so its a more unique experiance.
-Overall the tileset feels a bit too snowy and samey with arctic.
-Rocks, middle eastern shrubs and all the other props you've modified look somewhat too low contrast compared to the trees - is there anything you could do to preserve their outlines better and add contrast to match?
-Maybe also try to make trees have bit less snow to really differentiate it from the arctic tileset?
-I have to agree with Chris: I feel the ground texture (grass) is way too white and too close to arctic palette to feel different. Could you have the grass show a bit more through and maybe even make it variable so that there's more snow at some places and less in others to make the ground look less uniform?
-Adding tall grass in the tileset and around the stumps seems like a great idea - and while you are at it, you could fix the stree stumps in the farm tile set too.
When you get the tileset somewhat ready, I could make you some maps in this mod if you want.
I'll see if I can add the original outline to the props, when I used an overlay the first time I forgot to take into account the outline as well. I'll also play around some more with contrast and saturation.
I'm in the process of making the grass less snowy, it's around half of the current grass and the original soviet. I tried in the past to make the snow more variable, but when it came to fitting the ground submaps together, the edges didn't match, or if I left the edges alone, it was really noticeable where the submap ended. But with the grass texture showing through more, it should look a bit less flat.
The trees are still a bit too snowy, so I'll trying increasing the saturation more and make the snow greener and less bright, but there's only so much I can do with that snow texture and make it look natural.
Seems much better, mate! Keep up the good work!
Yeah, I think I like those changes too. The old ones were a bit snowy, the new ones have a frosty feeling to them instead.
Yeah, I agree. Much better! Now just add more props and it'll be great! Destroyed trees still have snow though.
Those changes look really well!
*Sigh* I dream of making a jungle/tropical tileset, but the prospect of making it all from scratch is disheartening.
I think that concludes the wilderness part of the tileset so far, unless there are any more suggestions (which are very welcome), so I'll start work on rural village props now. I've updated OP with a new download link with all the changes and some more images from ground combat.
Your changes have made it much better. When I saw this post initially I thought "meh, still basically arctic". Now it's taking on a distinct character of it's own. Great work, can't wait to see the finished product!
I want to encourage you, but this does not look much like tundra. It looks like you merged snow and grass terrain literally and now it's sort of white-green. Tundra is characterized by brown (sometimes vibrant colors when flowers are in season) shrubby, wet nearly swampy, and rocky terrain with few trees. It does not in any way look partially white, except when it is actually snow.
The tree stumps look pretty nice, but I think they are too large to fit in with all the other trees, all together.
These points may all be true ^ but it's not THE point, which is that at least the tileset is different. I'd play tundra maps if they featured nothing but floating jellyfish just to get some variety!
Yeah don't get focused on the tundra name of the tileset, that is just what the game references.
Think of it more as the rural soviet tileset for all of those areas that are not farms but also not cities which are generally under represented.
Sure thing, no problem. Go ahead and enjoy it.
I still think the terrain would be improved by having a generally brownish cast rather than the current color though, if nothing else.


We're well aware of the importance of well-done base makeup—everything else looks better when your foundation is blended just right. Whether it's party season or not, we're all looking for the perfect foundation that'll stay in place through all-night parties, all-day meetings and more. Here's our verdict on four foundations that'll last through everything you put them through.


We show side navigation menus and object action menus in significantly different ways on mobile and desktop. In particular, they are hidden behind disclosure buttons on mobile.
Navigation menus and action menus need to render twice. Ideally, the desktop and mobile views should be different views of the same DOM nodes.
Navigation menus and action menus need to be explicitly attached to work on mobile. Ideally, these should just work by default, and no one should have to remember to hook them up.
ApplicationSearch navigation menus duplicate a lot of queries because of how they render. We basically have to load all of the search stuff in the controller and then all of the search stuff again to build the menu.
Some of the patterns are just very old, from before we had standard/unified menus.
Navigation menus are a little more involved. I think that code just needs to be generally reorganized so it fits into modern rendering in a more natural way.
epriestley added a project: Design.
epriestley added subscribers: epriestley, bttelle, chad.
I use narrow windows in my desktop workflow a lot and appreciate the responsive design. I get that this is still primarily a mobile flow but it would be great if you can continue to keep things working well for narrow desktop windows in any rework. Right now on the desktop a narrow UX mostly works but there are some gotchas. Most annoying is the search bar that only appears on click but not when pressing /.
chad edited projects, added Mobile, PHUI; removed Design.
I'd want to move these out of crumbs and into ApplicationMenu by default, that is any action link added to a page, also gets built into the mobile menu. Further since some pages have multiple sections of action links, we'd need maybe some label or dividers automatically built as well.
Alternatively could have a little menu on PHUIObjectBoxView appear on each section, though I can't imagine how to make that happen automatically.
Specifically, you want things like "Edit Task" in the application menu?
The use case for this interface (essentially, an actionable list view) is that release engineers at Facebook go through this whole queue before every push.
We don't need to keep the UI like that, but if we don't then we need to do something else with it before we can automatically move actions into the application menu.
In this case, the options are uniquely named and just shoving them into the application menu wouldn't be unusable, but we'd lose the relationship between options and editing them (instead of clicking the adjacent button, you have to go read through all the options). There are also still a fairly large number of options.
It's technically easiest, and I'm confident I can execute it without duplicating DOM nodes.
It handles the existing unusual cases gracefully.
Keeping actions closely associated with their contextual objects/panels feels good to me.
That said, I'm not especially committed to it. Do you have ideas on the Diffusion and Releeph UIs if we move away from this plan of attack?
Diffusion would probably be OK without changes.
We could maybe just make Releeph work normally (require clicks into it to make changes) and then give it a fast-review workflow in Nuance eventually, although that feels reallllly iffy to me.
I'm happy to implement this if you're OK with trying it (this is basically my second "mock", right?), I think it's way easier to execute cleanly from a technical perspective than the other version. If it's garbage we can drop it, but it feels worth trying to me?
Yeah I think #2 is better.
Is this just a hidden button on ActionListView that gets some display: block and negative margin when on mobile? I could probably build that.
Button, which is hidden on .device-desktop.
Menu is hidden on .device (or just .device-mobile, we might have enough space on tablets).
When clicked, button toggles a class on the menu which shows it on .device.
Still not sure how to do this, initial plan was to just push the button up into the header, but I forgot that headers already have their own buttons (not often, but somethings like on the current project homepage). It's still likely the best place for it, just not sure how to make this auto-magical.
Oh silly, I see we're passing PropertyList into ObjectBoxView anyways. Alright, should be able to figure this out after kiddo bath time.
epriestley added a subtask: T8239: 2015 Redesign.
epriestley added a project: Infrastructure.
chad added a subscriber: joshuaspence.
epriestley moved this task from Backlog to v1 on the ApplicationEditor board.
The left navigation menu doesn't do something reasonable by default on mobile.
Property lists in ObjectViews don't do something reasonable by default on mobile.
(1) is my primary focus first.
I think (2) is pretty straightforward, but I'll deal with that after (1).
Actually I guess (2) already got pretty much fixed in D11340.
Happy to help with conversions if that's how this gets solved.
epriestley added a commit: rP300c74c49dc9: Make mobile navigation work properly by default in more cases.

Танк-памятник освободителям Симферополя — танк-памятник Великой Отечественной войны, установленный в 1944 году в Симферополе в Пионерском парке (ныне сквер Победы) в честь освободителей города.

На постаменте установлен средний огнемётный танк ОТ-34 № 201, который, по некоторым сведениям, одним из первых вошёл в город 13 апреля. Один из двух сохранившихся на территории бывшего СССР экземпляров. Автор памятника — начальник штаба 216-го сапёрного батальона 19-го танкового корпуса капитан С. Ф. Коробкин.

На лицевой стороне постамента первоначально была надпись «Вечная память героям 19-го Перекопского Краснознамённого корпуса, павшим в боях за освобождение Крыма. Апрель — май», в дальнейшем он несколько раз реконструировался и перестаивался, а надпись на нём была расширена: «Слава защитникам и освободителям Крыма 1941—1944.»

Освобождение Симферополя в 1944 году
В годы Великой Отечественной войны, в 1941—1944 годах, Симферополь находился под немецко-румынской оккупацией. 8 апреля 1944 года в ходе Крымской наступательной операции советские войска приступили к освобождению Крыма, который оборонялся силами 17-й немецкой армии (в которую также входили и румынские части).

Для освобождения Симферополя приказом командующего 4-м Украинским фронтом генерала армии Ф. И. Толбухина была сформирована фронтовая подвижная группа под командованием заместителя командующего 51-й армией генерал-майора В. Н. Разуваева в составе 19-го танкового корпуса, двух полков 279-й стрелковой дивизии генерал-майора В. С. Потапенко и 21-й истребительно-противотанковой артиллерийской бригады полковника Н. Д. Павлова.

12 апреля, преследуя отступающие немецко-румынские войска тремя колоннами, советские войска вышли в район Сарабуза (ныне посёлок Гвардейское), где находился крупный транспортный узел противника — аэродром и узловая железнодорожная станция. После ночной перегруппировки советские танковые части с ходу взяли его 13 апреля.

В ночь на 13 апреля две группы партизанского Северного соединения проникли в Симферополь и уничтожили казармы немецкого гарнизона. Затем утром в город вошли танки 79-й танковой бригады (полковник П. Архипов) и 101-й танковой бригады (подполковник М. Ф. Хромченко), а потом 27-я мотострелковая, 6-я гвардейская танковая бригады, а также партизаны 17-го и 19-го отрядов 1-й партизанской бригады (командир Ф. И. Федоренко) окончательно закрепили успех. Также в освобождении Симферополя принимали участие воины 279-й стрелковой дивизии и городские подпольные группы под руководством А. Н. Косухина и В. И. Бабия. Одновременно, группа партизан Якова Саковича, Фёдора Горбия атаковали противника в южной части города. Таким образом, к 16 часам Симферополь был полностью очищен от противника. Были захвачены большие трофеи, в том числе 10 железнодорожных эшелонов с вооружением, боеприпасами и военным имуществом. А также были взяты в плен свыше тысячи солдат и офицеров противника.

В 22:00 в Москве в честь освободителей Симферополя состоялся праздничный салют 20-ю артиллерийскими залпами из 224-х орудий, а 11-ти наиболее отличившимся частям и соединениям было присвоено почётное наименование «Симферопольских».

Танк-памятник
Работы по установке танка-памятника были начаты по инициативе начальника штаба 216-го сапёрного батальона 19-го танкового корпуса капитана С. Ф. Коробкина и продолжались с конца апреля по конец мая 1944 года. По воспоминаниям директора Крымского краеведческого музея ветерана войны В. Н. Бухаркина, бывшего в то время командиром подразделения 216-го сапёрного батальона, «его неиссякаемая энергия, знание дела, предприимчивость обеспечили возможность выполнения этого необычного задания… А ведь стройматериалов в городе не было». В. Н. Бухаркин со своими бойцами лично работал на установке монумента, а капитан С. Ф. Коробкин после окончания боевых действий «взял на себя, если так можно выразиться, идейное руководство сооружением».

В качестве памятника был выбран огнемётный танк ОТ-34 № 201, который, по некоторым сведениям, одним из первых вошёл в город 13 апреля. На лицевой части монумента была установлена металлическая плита с надписью: «Вечная память героям 19-го Перекопского Краснознамённого корпуса, павшим в боях за освобождение Крыма. Апрель — май». Под ней перечислены 19 фамилий. Среди них подполковник М. Ф. Хромченко, командир 101-й Сивашской танковой бригады, погибший под Севастополем. Один из авторов проекта памятника, капитан Н. С. Прудников, и. о. командира 216-го сапёрного батальона, погиб 27 апреля 1944 года в боях за освобождение Севастополя и также похоронен здесь же.

3 июня 1944 года танк-памятник был торжественно открыт в Пионерском парке (ныне сквер Победы). Рядом с памятником находились могилы погибших танкистов, увенчанные пирамидками, а некоторые — огорожены дощатым заборчиком. Позднее в 1949 году их останки были перенесены на воинское кладбище Симферополя на улице Старозенитной.

Согласно эскизу памятника, для облицовки пьедестала и цоколя был выбран белый инкерманский камень. Вокруг памятника должны быть размещены 10 бетонных столбиков, соединённых между собой цепями. Однако по состоянию на 1945 год, монумент был обнесён оградой из столбиков, соединёнными металлическими трубами. В дальнейшем памятник несколько раз реконструировался и перестаивался. К 1969 году цельной плиты уже не было, а текст был набран металлическими буквами, размещёнными прямо на белой плиточной отделке. На башне появился бортовой номер 201, позднее также на правый бок башни был нанесён гвардейский знак.

16 января 2003 года в связи со строительством Александро-Невского собора при участии ветеранов и общественности Крыма танк-памятник был установлен на новый постамент и перенесён на несколько десятков метров в пределах сквера. Новый мемориальный комплекс был дополнен плитами с наименованиями частей, освобождавших Крым в 1944 году. Таким образом, в центре Симферополя в пределах сквера Победы помимо двух существующих памятников — героям Русско-турецкой войны и освободителям Крыма от немецко-фашистских захватчиков — был также построен кафедральный собор Святого Александра Невского, которые вместе образуют единый архитектурный ансамбль.

Также при рытье котлована для собора были обнаружены останки советских воинов, которых, как выяснилось, не перенесли в 1949 году. Они были перезахоронены на территории собора.

Хотя изначально монумент был установлен в честь воинов 19-го Краснознамённого Перекопского танкового корпуса, ныне он превратился в более абстрактный символ. Надпись на памятнике была расширена: «Слава защитникам и освободителям Крыма 1941—1944.» Заместитель директора Музея истории города Симферополя Л. Н. Вьюницкая считает, что это неверно: «Вместо того чтобы соорудить мемориал, достойный всех освободителей Симферополя, взяли и исказили этот памятник. Убрали захоронения, изменили первоначальный текст посвящения. А сейчас он вообще чуть ли не всем соединениям посвящён».

Благодаря переписке местных историков с минскими ветеранами 19-го танкового корпуса также удалось выяснить, что установленный на постаменте танк имел огнемёт, а его модель — ОТ-34. Танки этого типа производились с 1942 года, а экипаж состоял из четырёх человек: командир танка — П. Т. Заргарян (командир танковой роты 432-го танкового батальона 101-й танковой бригады), механик-водитель — В. Я. Мельников, радист А. С. Ковбаса и стрелок-заряжающий М. А. Русин, который получив ранение под Армянском в освобождении Симферополя не участвовал.
