Q: Writing an integer to stdout in text form using only write() to do writing I'm trying to write an integer in stdout, in text form, with only write() function and possibly while/if.
I want to write the integer out in text form, so that it's human-readable, but actually it is write out in binary form :
Here is what I tried :
main.c :
#include "my_put_nbr.h"
int main()
{
    my_put_nbr(43);
    return 0;
}

my_put_char.c :
#include <unistd.h>
int my_put_nbr(int nb)
{
        write(1, &nb, sizeof(nb));
        return 0;
}

So how can I write the integer out in text form with only write (or putchar) and conditions ?
PS : I must not use other libraries, so I can't use printf or whatever !
My github : link
text mode and binary mode are common in computer science, but here is a reminder for ones who don't understand what I mean by text form :

On a UNIX system, when an application reads from a file it gets
  exactly what's in the file on disk and the converse is true for
  writing. The situation is different in the DOS/Windows world where a
  file can be opened in one of two modes, binary or text. In the binary
  mode the system behaves exactly as in UNIX. However on writing in text
  mode, a NL (\n, ^J) is transformed into the sequence CR (\r, ^M) NL.

Quote from Cygwin.com

MAJ :
I found the answer:
#include "my_putchar.h"
/* 0x2D = '-'
 * 0x0 = NUL */
int my_put_nbr(int n)
{
        if (n < 0)
        {
                my_putchar(0x2D);
                n = -n;
        }

        if (n > 9)
        {
                my_put_nbr(n/10);
        }

        my_putchar((n%10) + '0');

        return 0;
}

A: write is writing, but it is writing non-visible characters.
You can see this with:
./myprogram | od -tx1

You will need to make the number in n (int value 23) into the string "23" before printing it.
One way:
  char buffer[16];
  snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%d", n);
  write(1, buffer, strlen(buffer));

PhD student wins international data science competition
PhD student, Ikram Nur Muharam, from the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management has won the Expedia Group x ENTER2020 data science competition on socially responsible and inclusive tourism for best use of secondary data. The event was organised by Expedia Group and the International Federation for IT in Travel and Tourism (IFITT) during ENTER2020 International eTourism Conference at University of Surrey in January 2020.
Ikram Nur Muharam collecting his award for best use of secondary data.
The goal of the competition was to better understand how technologies and platforms play a role in promoting a more socially responsible and inclusive travel and tourism industry. Using accommodation data provided by Expedia Group and other secondary data, Ikram used machine learning tools to identify and rank accommodation clusters in the United States that bring the most positive impact to the community. In particular, Ikram combined 58 different variables based on data obtained from Expedia Group, the US Census Bureau, FBI, and the US Bureau of Justice Statistics to develop his solution.
Ikram Nur Muharam said:
"To be honest, despite having expertise in programming and databases, my educational background is not in information technology, so at that time I saw participating in the competition as an opportunity to apply my passion in data analytics, to learn new things, and to build new connections. I am so happy to have won and to have been part of such a formidable event."
Professor Iis Tussyadiah, Ikram's PhD supervisor and Head of the Department of Hospitality, stated:
"The availability of data from different sources relevant to the travel and tourism industry provides us with tremendous opportunities. The challenge is to bring these data together and extract useful insights that will inform various stakeholders to develop a more sustainable sector. I am immensely proud of Ikram to show us how to do just that."
The competition attracted participants from around the world. Other winners include teams from University of Florida (USA) for best insights, Virginia Tech (USA) for best use of AI and machine learning tools, and Barclays (UK) for best visualisation. All winners received prizes from the Expedia Group.

I may be attracted to bellydance mainly for the costume aspect... even though I haven't gotten very advanced at it (yet). But hopefully soon this page will expand into a menu of all the pages of bellydance crafts. That's 'hopefully' on two levels - first, that I make the crafts, and second, that I update the web site. Those are two pretty big 'if's.
I'll start out with what I'm most proud of to date, my fitted bellydance belt. Most of the ones sold commercially are just straight tubes of fabric, and while that might work for a slim person, it most definitely does not for those of use with more... ample curves. On a 4" wide belt I have 6 darts, resulting in the top edge being 8" smaller than the bottom edge. The corset lacing down the sides also allows for a lot of adjustment. This is a 'special occasion' belt and as such is a little cheesy - but is also my first attempt. Now that I know it works, I can use the same pattern and do as much intricate beadwork as I want to!
I have done a little bit of beading, as trim on a purchased vest for a friend. So I do know a bit of what I'm getting into with the whole idea, though I have yet to get started on some of my more ambitious projects.
I also made a Josephine Hip Scarf, this one a test out of two skeins of Red Heart Fiesta. Since it worked out okay, I will probably make another one out of nicer yarn. I also saw someone make one with a hairpin lace trim, which looked awesome and I'll probably try that instead of doing the tassels again (which were tedious).
Hopefully there will be a lot more soon! Stay tuned!

In 2017, the inaugural fellows of the LARB / USC Publishing Workshop gathered at USC to learn more about the ever-evolving publishing industry. We anticipated speakers, cohort projects, creative opportunities, and career counseling. But we could not have imagined the caliber of achievement our mentors would draw from to teach. One such mentor was Luis Rodriguez.
Luis Rodriguez is an award-winning poet, publisher, author, urban peace activist, healer, youth advocate, and Los Angeles Poet Laureate (2014-2016). Today, his focus is on the future; he facilitates opportunities for emerging voices whenever possible. He teaches creative writing at Lancaster State Prison, is a script consultant on the FX-TV show Snowfall, and is Founding Editor of Tia Chucha Press, and co-founder/president of Tia Chucha's Centro Cultural. "Luis has proven his commitment to fostering the personal development and creativity of young persons in Los Angeles, [in] California, and beyond," says Pushcart Prize-nominated poet Lynne Thompson.
In the Publishing Workshop, Luis gave us an honest look at the victories and challenges of publishing in an evolving industry. Here, Luis discusses the process of selection in publishing with me, as well as running an independent press, mentorship in a shifting industry, and the future of storytelling. As it was in the Workshop, so it is on the page: Rodriguez has numerous insights to share.
RJ NEWELL: In the early days of Tia Chucha Press, you began with publishing poetry collections by emerging writers of the Chicago Poetry Slam scene. More than a few of those writers have since gained international acclaim — National Book Award-winners, Pulitzer Prize-winners, and more. How does one cultivate the ability to pinpoint this kind of potential?
LUIS RODRIGUEZ: There's a gut instinct many editors have for the right voice when you read a clean and well-thought-out manuscript. Of course, I've had a sense of what's considered literary merit — I knew if a poet understood the US poetry terrain, including that of black, brown, LGBTQ, women, and others often not featured in literary magazines or anthologies. In addition, Chicago had its own dynamics. And since I also took part in the early years of the Slam Poetry movement in Chicago, I befriended and admired many poets who took their rhythms, verses, and emotions to engaging levels on the stage. But for the page, I had to see another range of possibilities…We haven't always hit a homerun, but Tia Chucha Press books have impacted US letters in profound ways just the same.
Rather than staying on to become a permanent Chicago fixture, Tia Chucha Press transferred to Tia Chucha's Centro Cultural in Southern California in 2005 to expand its resources for emerging writers in this region. What motivated the move, and how does the Los Angeles literary landscape differ from a place like Chicago?
Our move was largely due to family…I loved living in Chicago, even with the poverty, crime, and violence — all related if one spends time on this. Most of Chicago was not violent or rundown. Most of my neighbors were wonderful. But I also worked with the most troubled youth as well as the homeless and recovering addicts, which most people wouldn't do. [My wife] Trini and I recognized we had no extended family there. I had made a positive mark in Chicago. One weekly Chicago publication consistently named me among the 50 most important persons in Chi-Town literature/publishing due to my own work (poetry as well as the best-selling memoir Always Running, La Vida Loca, Gang Days in L.A.) and Tia Chucha Press. We moved nonetheless and I'm convinced it was the right thing.
A year after moving to the San Fernando Valley, in a community where Trini grew up, in the once-named "Mexican" side of the Valley, with the largest African American population in the Valley, we decided to create a cultural center, bookstore, performance space, workshop center, art gallery, and café called Tia Chucha's Café Cultural. It had the Chicago spirit, including open mics and performance poetry. It also had the Xicanx spirit from my movement days in East Los Angeles…In the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, I helped organize readings, workshops, including in prisons, and published a literary & art magazine (ChismeArte — or "gossip art"). I was a cofounder with Manazar Gamboa of the Galeria Ocaso, one of the first, if not the first, art gallery and performance space in Echo Park. All this and my time in Chicago came together to establish our new cultural space, the only one of its kind for the 500,000 people of the Northeast San Fernando Valley.
Although we are no longer a café, we still provide workshops, performances, and exhibits in the arts, music, dance, theater, writing, and more, including one of the few remaining weekly Open Mics in the Los Angeles area. Tia Chucha's Centro Cultural draws from all over Los Angeles, but we also tap into Northeast Valley voices, stories, and flavors. In 2016, during the two years I served as L.A.'s official Poet Laureate, Tia Chucha Press published the largest anthology of Los Angeles poetry ever: Coiled Serpent: Poets Arising from the Cultural Quakes & Shifts of Los Angeles, edited by Neelanjana Banerjee, Daniel A. Olivas, and Ruben J. Rodriguez.
Tia Chucha Press now gives voice to authors and poets otherwise under-recognized in the national landscape. Looking back, what do you feel have been Tia Chucha's most significant victories and challenges in pursuing this mission?
The US literary world is layered and divided. There are leading editors, publishers, and agents in New York who never heard of Xicanx writing, or Chicago-style poets, or much of anything outside of their insulated world. I've been published there (Simon & Schuster and HarperCollins) as well as with medium and smaller presses…So I know most ends of the US literary spectrum. Tia Chucha Press is really small — mostly two books a year. But we look for quality work from a diversity of communities, not just Xicanx, but from all ethnicities, races, and sexual orientations that move our editors and me. Native American-German-French artist/writer Jane Brunette designs all our books — they are each amazingly beautiful and yet there is also a Tia Chucha Press look to them…Tia Chucha Press can't compete with the "big boys" and we don't want to. We just do books that matter, which sing, that demonstrate how diversity is the heart and soul of this country.
Our challenges are mostly funding — few grants exist for publishing what we do. And our sales are up and down, although having Northwestern University Press as our national distributor (since our Chicago days) has been a godsend. In spite of the challenges, we know this press is needed. Its vitality is palpable. We need presses willing to take the right risks, with the right authors, to make a powerful difference in the complex literary landscape of this vast country.
Is there anything you wish you'd known, when first starting out as a publisher, about the process of building and maintaining an independent press, balancing that with your own writing life, and accomplishing this much overall?
I didn't know anything about publishing when I started. But I'm resourceful and learned fast. I studied on my own, but also attended writers and publishing conferences. I asked for help from a lot of people…I [also] had my own literary work to deal with, now with 15 books in poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and children's literature. And combined with my community work (gangs, prisons, homeless, etc.) and the arts, including with Tia Chucha's, as well as family…I had to juggle many things and fast. I made tons of mistakes — the only path to success I know — and I have to say that with Trini I had the most supportive wife and partner. She backed me every step of the way, including running Tia Chucha's Centro Cultural for 17 years.
I'm blessed beyond measure. I can't provide any formula on how to do any of this. But I will say that being an average person, with average intelligence, and even with average issues of addictions, mortgages, hurdles in making money, is miracle enough. Having the right attitude, something I didn't always have (I've self-sabotaged much over the years) is key. Be persistent but patient, and never, ever give up.
With social media, Amazon, and shifting industry trends, the business of literature has changed since the founding of Tia Chucha Press. From your perspective, what have been the biggest changes to the business of storytelling, and what do you hope emerging publishers can contribute to this industry's future?
Digital technology has changed everything. But I also know there is still a love of actual books, printed pages, and that's why I only do printed collections and anthologies, no ebooks or other digital content. I'm not against these. I just want Tia Chucha Press to represent the quality of what hand-held books can be today. This may change in the future.
I also use social media to promote. My own work is all over the digital stream. Tia Chucha Press is a way to introduce an emerging voice in literature to the world, like a powerful calling card. The biggest impact for us was the closure of Borders Bookstores, after Borders and Barnes & Noble helped close down many independent bookstores. I spent hours, and volunteered, at the beloved Guild Books in Chicago (out of which the Guild Complex Literary Arts Center emerged). I also loved L.A.'s Midnight Special in Santa Monica. Both gone. Having said that, I know great book lovers in Barnes & Noble, which now carries Tia Chucha Press books and my own work. And Tia Chucha's Centro Cultural has a bookstore — the only trade bookstore for half-a-million people in the Northeast San Fernando Valley. We hold an annual "Celebrating Words" Arts & Literacy Festival in Pacoima. People, especially in poor communities of color, need book ownership. I love libraries — one of this country's greatest institutions. But owning a book is crucial for those wanting to further their education. I particularly love how children, mostly from Spanish-speaking families, love our Children's Book section. Books still ignite their imaginations and spirits. As long as this happens, Tia Chucha's will be about books.
Are there any areas in the publishing world that you feel have the most room for growth that might otherwise be overlooked or underrepresented?
All areas in publishing overlook the variety of voices, flavors, and stories in the country, let alone the world. Lee & Low Books is one dedicated to these voices in children's literature. There are more in other genres. But publishing still has a long way to go. As I said, there are layers… On top of the pyramid, making the big decisions of who gets published in big presses and why, are mostly white and male power brokers, often from wealthier classes. The big prizes generally go to similar demographics, although I know this has changed. I think by the time I came around with my poetry and memoir in the late '80s to early '90s, funding for new books began to include writers of color, women, and LGBTQ people. Early in my career I won a Lannan Fellowship and a Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Writers Award, which gave substantial money to young writers.
Foundations gave promotional funds for smaller publishers, [but] these funds no longer exist. In fact, publishers today don't generally provide promotional book tours like they used to. Even journalist training programs, like the Summer Program for Minority Journalists at UC, Berkeley, are gone…People talk about "affirmative action," but such efforts have largely been diminished. I got in at a good time, but what about the fantastic writers coming up now? Tia Chucha Press is one place where we pay attention to these publishing gaps and do our best to bridge them.
Your handprints and signature were recently immortalized in Vroman's Author Walk of Fame in celebration of your important contributions to Los Angeles literature, poetry, and culture. How does it feel to be honored in this way, and what does it mean to you moving forward?
Vroman's is one of few independent bookstores in the Los Angeles area. It's my favorite bookstore, after Tia Chucha's, of course. This was a singular honor, placing my handprints and signature on cement like at Grauman's Chinese Theater. Many friends from Pasadena, East Los Angeles, and the Northeast Valley, among other communities, attended. I especially liked that African-American commentator and columnist Lynell George led a public dialogue with me that day. She asked the important questions — I wished it was filmed and perhaps put on TV, or at least social media. Again, some of the most important and creative thinkers are not being heard as much as they should. Media pundits mostly seem to be cut from the same cloth, hardly ever from the "shadows" and outposts of this land.
I had the pleasure of first hearing you speak in person at the inaugural LARB/USC Publishing Workshop. As a student with limited access to the publishing world before the workshop, it was such a gift to have this kind of direct access to creative, collaborative speakers and mentors. As someone who currently facilitates opportunities through Tia Chucha's Centro Cultural, what are your views on mentorship in publishing now?
Mentorship in publishing? I wish I had this when I started. Mentorship now is mostly within a publishing house. Editors and readers move up, and often make the rounds, of the big publishing houses. I've had editors who were working on a book of mine, then had to leave practically midstream for another editing job. The smaller presses generally have the same editors, who make this a labor of love (hardly ever labor for money). As founding editor of Tia Chucha Press, I have been thinking for a while of mentoring someone to fill the position I'm in. We hired somebody once who was doing a fantastic job, a Salvadoran American, respectfully Xicanaized (although she was clear on her Salvi roots). But she had to move on when funding fell through. That's been the big problem — we have money for getting our books published, but that's about it. And when we don't have the funds, I usually cover the costs from my own pocket. Once in a great while with a grant, we'll have money to promote (although Northwestern University Press helps with this as much as possible as does Tia Chucha's Bookstore). We've never had paid staff at the press, although we do have paid staff at the center/bookstore. For almost three decades, Tia Chucha Press has been Jane and me. As in Chicago, I've established an unpaid editorial committee that helps with reading and deciding on which manuscript we'll publish, and on occasions in shepherding a book to publication. In the future, Tia Chucha Press must have its own staff, and a paid editor, or it will go away when I go away.
When you look back on all that you've published, written, facilitated, and shaped over the years, does anything in particular stand out as the most personally meaningful?
Recently, my old elementary school in Rosemead CA dedicated a "Luis Rodriguez Reading Park" with a bench and plaque…No one, least of all me, imagined I'd be someone they'd honor this way. At nine, I was shy, bullied, and generally unresponsive — until I toughened up at age 11 and joined a gang. At nine I had my jaw cracked after two toughies beat me up. A growth developed that gave me a big chin. As a skinny, brown-skinned, barely English-speaking Mexican kid, I was ugly and a pariah. Everyone made fun of me. A girl called me "monkey." It was the gang that embraced me — chin and all (my gang moniker was "Chin"). Who'd have thought I'd reach the levels I have — from drugs, gangs, and jails, to a working stiff in industry; to reporter/writer, including in San Bernardino, Chicago, Mexico, and Central America; to activist, teacher, and nonprofit proprietor; and now poet/author/speaker. Similarly, when L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti named me the city's Poet Laureate in October of 2013, it was at the downtown Central Library…where at 15, homeless and using heroin, I roamed the stacks of books as my most valuable refuge. Books, language, ideas, and the arts saved me. I found my primary agreement with the universe, to move in the direction [that] my own soul-genius was trying to take me. I've gone off road, into muddy fields, dark abysses…But I got back on track. I made it. I'm here. There's a lesson in there for anyone.
As a multi-faceted artist, publisher, and creative leader, what are your hopes for the future of storytelling?
We have lost a mythic imagination in this country. Everything is getting literalized — even our stories, our sacred texts, our politics. We are living in times when archaic ideas, concepts, and ways of doing things continue to hold us, although the heart of society is preparing for new birth. The "old" is holding the "new" hostage…That's why everything appears in crisis — economies, political parties, religions, relationships, and the rest. Most people feel alienated, disconnected, from their own geniuses, from each other, from nature and natural law, and from the divine. The creative is the way out. Order is not the way out of chaos, creativity is.
I once heard someone say that computers now hold the world's knowledge. Why then are human beings being fed book knowledge, facts, and tests? We can't compete with computers at this level. We need instead to develop and honor what makes us human, which no computer can emulate… caring, empathy, thinking, cooperation, and a full imaginative life. The problem is we've "invented" our way here — almost everything human is made up. But now we are dis-aligned. Inventing things is necessary, but it's most powerful when it's in sync with the patterns, laws, and rhythms of the world and cosmos. That's where we're at — how to align again, at macro and micro levels, and then move forward. This will require a trust in the organic creative capacity we all possess.
For as others have said before me, to be a complete human being is to be a complete artist. The next major stage of human development is integrality, but only if we stay properly connected. But if we don't consciously and actively make the right personal as well as societal choices, we may "miss our star home" as the poet William Stafford wrote. I feel my books, talks, media creations, and teachings must cover this essential ground.

James Irvine 1958-2013
Emilie Chalcraft | 18 February 2013 6 comments
News: British industrial designer James Irvine, who founded his studio in Milan nearly 30 years ago, has died aged 54.
Irvine studied design at Kingston Polytechnic in London before completing his master's degree at the Royal College of Art in 1984, after which he moved to Milan to work as a design consultant for Olivetti, the Italian company famous for its typewriters.
Founded in 1988, his studio has created products, furniture and transport for companies including Italian design brands Artemide, Foscarini and Cappellini, art publisher Phaidon and camera-maker Canon, while in 2000 he designed a fleet of Mercedes-Benz buses for the German city of Hannover.
Irvine most recently worked as the creative director of bent wood furniture company Thonet and as design consultant to Japanese brand Muji, roles he combined in a furniture design collaboration with Konstantin Grcic in 2009.
Figures from the industry paid tribute to Irvine on Twitter, with British designer Sebastian Bergne commenting: "Deeply shocked to hear of the death of James Irvine. What a great loss." David Carlson, editor-in-chief of online magazine David Report, wrote: "The world has lost a great person and a great designer."
San Francisco-based designer Yves Béhar later added: "James Irvine was a gentle soul in design, talent and kindness as one. He was always very sweet to me personally... will miss you James."
We filmed an interview with Irvine in 2010 as part of the Dezeen Talks at [D3] Design Talents series at imm cologne – watch it below.

RV's or recreational vehicles are notorious for getting incredibly poor gas mileage. With their sheer size, weight, a non-aerodynamic features, often the gas mileage is reduced to single digits. Most people use their RV's for traveling distances and sometimes the entire continent. Often the miles can be heavily racked up on even a single trip. Getting the most miles per gallon (MPG) will certainly save money for the traveler. It is important to note that an RV will certainly never be able to compare to a large passenger vehicle's MPG, but there are some ways to greatly improve the RV's gas mileage. Please consider that even a single mile per gallon is often an increase of 15%. By using the following methods, it is possible to increase the mileage by several miles per gallon.
Get rid of extra weight! Many people over pack while traveling in their RV. They do not understand that every single ounce that they place in the RV itself will reduce the overall gas mileage. An RV owner should always go through everything and really consider how much they are packing on their trip. Consider if you really need to pack 20 forks, full socket sets, large bottles of shampoo, a lot of loose tools rather than a multi-tool, too many blankets, too many articles of clothing, full boxes of band aids rather than just a few, etc. The idea is to reduce the weight as much as you possibly can. Some items that will be removed may seem redundant and light, but an RV owner really needs to consider that every small object adds to the overall weight. A refrigerator magnet on an RV refrigerator will add one once of weight that the gasoline must be spent on. Be creative and reduce the weight as much as possible. Be sure not to go overboard though, and keep safety items such as spare tires and a fire extinguisher. This is a common sense reduction of weight, with removing over packed and unneeded items.
Tune up the engine. Whether you pull a RV travel trailer or drive a Class A, C, or B RV, be sure to have the engine in excellent mechanical condition. The oil should be fresh & clean, have clean and correctly gapped spark plugs, and a clean air filter at all times. This will ensure that the function of the engine combustion will be at peak performance. Also it is a great practice to help the reliability of the RV. This also applies to a tow vehicle that would be towing a travel trailer.
Keep the tires inflated. Inflate all of the tires to the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire. Some people even over inflate the tires by 5 psi. This will cause the tires to have a slightly less amount of surface contact with the road. This will cause a reduction in tire friction, thus translating into more miles per gallon in the RV. It is up to an individual to decide for themselves if they wish to over inflate their tires, but we all can accept the maximum pressure suggested by the tire manufacturer.
Good aerodynamics reduces wind resistance. Wind resistance is a major contributor to poor gas mileage in RV's. Obviously due to the size of the vehicle, there is going to be a great amount of wind resistance. The goal here is to reduce the amount of wind resistance as much as possible. Consider aerodynamic mud flaps to reduce the wind resistance near the ground. Mud flaps are merely like sails that are several square feet. To use mud flaps with venting, will reduce the overall weight and wind resistance. Cover anything from television antennas to exterior plug outlets with aerodynamic plastic to help reduce the wind resistance. Many items on an RV will "drag" in the wind and it is important to cover these items up. Also if you are towing a travel trailer, consider getting a wind deflector on the tow vehicle. A wind deflector will push the air above your travel trailer rather than allowing the wind to hit the front of it while towing. These wind deflectors need to reach within 4 feet to the front of the RV. It is not suggested to use a wing type deflector.
Slow down! If you can drive your RV at 55 miles per hour it will help your overall fuel economy. This is because there will be a much less amount of wind drag at this speed. When coupled with better aerodynamics of the RV itself, driving slower can greatly improve the gas mileage.
Get a Bluetooth OBD 2 scanner. Using a smartphone you can read your real-time RV data with this scanner. You will be able to see the miles per gallon that you are getting in real time, and learn to drive your specific RV to attain the best possible gas mileage. It will communicate with your smartphone app, and allow you to not only see the functions of your engine, but will allow you to train your driving habits to achieve the gas mileage you want. These work with standard vehicles as well.


post-title J.P. Mooneys, the new pub on Nassau Street.
Home / 2019 / J.P. Mooneys, the new pub on Nassau Street.
We stuck our heads into a pub that just opened its doors on Nassau Street, J.P. Mooneys. It replaces what was once The Blarney Inn.
It's quite a spacious pub that is spread over 3 rooms, each with various alcoves and areas that are separated partially from the other areas.
The star of the show is Paddy, the pub dog who has an Instagram page all of his own.
Initial impressions are very good and they've done a great job on redecorating and giving it a bit of a low light library feel. We opted to sit in the room to the left as you walk in where there's several large tables for groups and a small couples space.
For craft beer fans, on tap they've got Whiplash, some of the Porterhouse range, Yellowbelly, and Lagunitas.
This looks to be a good addition to Nassau Street and a fine spot for some after work drinks.

Q: Sync S3 bucket to local machine but delete local objects that have been moved to glacier storage I have a script that I run on a cron to sync an S3 bucket to my local machine:
LOCAL_DATA_PATH=~/Data/my/local/data/path
S3_BUCKET_PATH=s3://my-data-bucket/and/path

aws s3 sync --delete --exclude "*_ignore-me_*" $S3_BUCKET_PATH $LOCAL_DATA_PATH

This is great except that my hard drive is filling up. In AWS, I have machinery that automatically glaciates certain files once they become outdated. How can I modify my sync command to automatically remove those glaciated files from my local machine? It appears that the files, though stored in glacier, still show up in the metadata and therefore aren't removed via the --delete option. I do notice, however, that on a fresh run to an empty local directory, the glacier-stored files are ignored.
Alternatively, is there another command that can clear out any glacier-stored files from my local directory? I think this could work too because, as I say, sync doesn't download glacier-stored files.

A: CLI command aws s3api list-objects-v2 supports the --query option, and the response contains storage class information. So you could do something like this:
aws s3api list-objects-v2 --query "Contents[?StorageClass=='GLACIER']" --bucket yourbucket
to get a list of Glacier objects. You could then extract the keys from the response and delete any matching files on your local drive.
Note that if you have a large number of objects, list-objects-v2 could time out or take a long time to execute. If you want to do this periodically - once a week, say - it might be more efficient to generate an S3 Inventory for your bucket, then write a shell script to download that once a week, filter it to the Glacier objects, and use that to delete local files.

Q: How to get the current python logging config? I am using the python logging library to configure my loggers with an input dict, like this:
logging.config.dictConfig(config)

I have a special function that should use a new function, and then switch  back to the original logger at the end of the function. The original logger can vary, so I do not want to hardcode it. Some psuedocode to describe what I want:
def switch_logger_for_this_code():
    old_logging_config = logger.get_current_logging_config(). # This is what I want to accomplish

    logging.config.dictConfig(new_logging_config)
    logging.info('This log goes to the new config!')
    logging.config.dictConfig(old_logging_config)
    logging.info('This log goes to the old config!')
    return

Is this possible to do with the logging library?

A: I don't believe there is any built in way of retrieving the config of an initialized logger and storing it into a variable. I'm not sure if this would work for your project, but have you considered just creating a temporary logger object for use within the function's scope?
import logging
from sys import stdout

def switch_logger_for_this_code(msg) -> None:
    # Create logging.Formatter for output customization
    formatter = logging.Formatter(
        fmt="[%(asctime)s.%(msecs)d] %(message)s",
        datefmt="%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S"
    )

    handler = logging.StreamHandler(stdout)  # Create output handler
    handler.setLevel(logging.ERROR)  # Specify logging level
    handler.setFormatter(formatter)  # Apply desired format

    temp_log = logging.getLogger("temp")  # Get new or existing Logger
    temp_log.addHandler(handler)  # Add output handler
    temp_log.error(msg)  # Log the message

switch_logger_for_this_code("hello world")  # Log 'hello world'

# Which would output the following
# [2020/10/20 15:09:18.548] hello world

The main idea behind this approach is that the original logger object won't be modified, but you can still use the temporary logger to log what you had originally intended in your desired format.

A: I just looked through the source code for the logging module, and I don't see any way to get at the internal configuration, which starts as the passed in configuration, but can then be modified by other calls to the logging system.

University of California Scholarships for International Students in USA for 2022
Are you interested in furthering your education in the USA? Good news! University of California Departmental Scholarships is currently an ongoing application for International Students. In this article, we will discuss more on the scholarship, its worth, eligibility, and application process.
University of California Departmental Scholarships is offered for Bachelor degree in the field of Economics. The scholarship is offered by the University of California, Los Angeles to students who have enrolled themselves for a bachelor's program at the University.
The University of California is a public land-grant research university system in the U.S. state of California. The university consists of the campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz, along with so many research centers and academic abroad centers.
The University of California was established on March 23, 1868, and operated in Oakland before moving to Berkeley in 1873. Over time, different branch locations and satellite programs were founded. In March 1951, the university started to reorganize itself into something distinct from its campus in Berkeley, with UC President Robert Gordon Sproul staying in place as chief executive of the UC system, while Clark Kerr became the first chancellor of UC Berkeley and Raymond B. Allen became the first chancellor of UCLA.
The university currently has 10 campuses which comprise a student body of 285,862 students, 24,400 faculty members, 143,200 staff members, and more than 2.0 million living alumni. The University of California's newest campus in Merced opened in fall 2005. Thereafter, nine campuses enroll both undergraduate and graduate students; one campus, UC San Francisco, enrolls only graduate and professional students in the medical and health sciences.

The University of California campuses have large numbers of different faculty in almost every academic discipline, with UC faculty and researchers have won 71 Nobel Prizes as of 2021. In 2006, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) awarded the university the SPARC Innovator Award for its exceptional effective institution-wide vision and efforts to move scholarly communication forward, including the 1997 founding (under then UC President Richard C. Atkinson) of the California Digital Library (CDL) and its 2002 launching of CDL's eScholarship, an institutional repository.
Every year, the university campuses are rated highly by different publications. Six University of California campuses rate in the top 50 U.S. National Universities of 2022 by U.S. News & World Report, with UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, UC Irvine, and UC Davis all rated in the top 50.
Four University of California campuses also rated in the top 50 in the U.S. News & World Report Best Global Universities Rankings in 2021, namely UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Francisco, and UC San Diego. The University of California San Francisco is rated as one of the top universities in biomedicine in the world, the UCSF School of Medicine is rated 3rd in the United States among research-oriented medical schools and for primary care by U.S. News and World Report.
The Academic Ranking of World Universities also rated UC San Francisco, UC Davis, UC Irvine, and UC Santa Barbara in the top 50 US National Universities and in the top 100 World Universities in 2020. Forbes also rated the six University of California campuses mentioned above as being in the top 50 universities in America in 2021. U.S. News & World Report rated the same departments at UC San Diego among the top 20 in the nation, with the exception of the departments of Sociology, History, and English.
Worth of University of California Departmental Scholarships

Factors Influencing the State-Level Settlement Pattern of the Undocumented Immigrant Population in the United States
Cebula, Richard and Duquette, Christopher and Mixon, Franklin (2013): Factors Influencing the State-Level Settlement Pattern of the Undocumented Immigrant Population in the United States. Published in: Atlantic Economic Journal , Vol. 41, No. 3 (29. May 2013): pp. 3-13.
This study empirically attempts to identify key factors determining the settlement patterns of undocumented immigrants within the United States. The estimations imply that undocumented immigrants appear to settle in states that border the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, or the Gulf of Mexico, and states where median family income is higher, average January temperatures are higher, the percent of the state population that is Hispanic is higher, and where economic freedom is higher. On the other hand, undocumented immigrants are less likely to settle in states with a higher cost of living.

Broadway director Harold Prince left an unparalleled legacy of masterworks
Hal Prince's Broadway legacy includes Cabaret, Phantom, and an iconic partnership with Sondheim.

Theater titan Harold (Hal) Prince died on July 31 after a brief illness at the age of 91. Prince was one of the most prolific and successful stage directors in history, with a venerated career that spanned six decades and netted him a staggering 21 Tony awards — more than any other person in history.
It's pretty much impossible to sum up the profound and long-lasting impact that Prince had on American theater, but here are three crucial takeaways to know about the "Prince of Broadway":
1) Prince's mid-century collaborations were crucial to musical theater
Prince, born in 1928, was one of a large group of frequent collaborators whose mid-century contributions to the theater were vast and invaluable. A lifelong New Yorker, he got his start working as an assistant to legendary director and playwright George Abbott, who helmed the original productions of seminal musicals like Pal Joey, On the Town, and Damn Yankees.
Prince struggled in the industry for nearly two decades, graduating from assistant roles to directing flops, before his first major success. But during that time, he became part of a large, formidable network of collaborators that significantly shaped the direction of American musical theater. Throughout the 20th century, celebrated musical composers from Jerome Kern to Leonard Bernstein were buffeted by towering collaborative talent. In his book The Broadway Musical, Joseph Swain observes:
Collaboration in the musical theatre meant that a composer might work with not only a lyricist and a librettist bu also a director, an orchestrator, a choreographer ... It is no coincidence that nearly all the significant works of the Broadway tradition were preceded in their history by a vast amount of experience in every department. It should be no surprise that the early works of Kern, Gershwin, Rodgers, Porter, and Bernstein form no part of this repertoire, that their highest achievements come much later in their careers, and that those achievements are supported over and over by the same names in production and direction: George Abbott, Rouben Mamoulian, Jerome Robbins, Moss Hart, Harold Prince. History has shown that experience provides the fine tuning of the collaboration that even the most mature dramatic vision requires. ... The list suggests an intricate network of acquaintances that underlay the great variety of musical productions.
Prince took his place among these collaborators in the '60s, often working as a producer for other theater giants on shows like Fiorello!, She Loves Me, and Fiddler On the Roof. He built collaborations with Jerome Robbins, who directed and choreographed several shows he produced, set designer Boris Aronson, and Bob Fosse, who choreographed Prince's first big success, Cabaret. Prince most famously established his eventual directorial success alongside a number of musical theater composers with whom he worked repeatedly.
Among these were John Kander and Fred Ebb, a.k.a. Kander and Ebb, who wrote the scores for Cabaret, Chicago, and other less-well-known musicals whose songs have become more famous than the shows they were in. Prince produced Kander and Ebb's 1965 show Flora, the Red Menace, and crucially cast a 19-year-old Liza Minnelli to star in it. The following year, he directed the team's Cabaret, his first breakout success. Much later, in 1993, he directed the dark Tony-winning Kander and Ebb hit Kiss of the Spider Woman.
Another frequent collaborator of Prince's: Andrew Lloyd Webber. For Lloyd Webber, Prince directed just three shows, but two were real doozies: Evita (1979) and Phantom of the Opera (1986), which became the most profitable musical ever made. It currently holds the record for longest-running musical in Broadway history, and since it's got its nearest competitor beat by nearly 4,000 performances, it's unlikely to be dethroned soon.
By far Prince's most significant collaboration, however, is also his most famous.
2) He's most well known for collaborating with Stephen Sondheim during the '60s and '70s
After Rodgers and Hammerstein, it would be hard to point to another collaborative team with a more profound influence over the development of the theater than Hal Prince and Stephen Sondheim. Contemporary reviewer Howard Kissel described them in 1976 as "the team that sets Broadway's highest standards."
Prince's collaborations with Sondheim were fundamental to the development of both artists. Prince produced West Side Story in 1957, which marked Sondheim's Broadway debut as lyricist for Leonard Bernstein. Then he produced Sondheim's first musical as sole composer, 1962's A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Prince went on to direct the original productions of seven Sondheim musicals: Company (1970), Follies (1971), A Little Night Music (1973), Pacific Overtures (1976), Sweeney Todd (1979), Merrily We Roll Along (1981), and Bounce (2003), later renamed to Road Show.
Prince's gruff collaborative partnership with Sondheim became the stuff of legend; it was captured fleetingly in the 1970 documentary Original Cast Album: Company, which was itself spoofed earlier this year by Documentary Now.
"We did not want to follow where the audience took us," Prince said of the collaboration. "We wanted to take the audience where we wanted to go."
Prince was intuitive, extroverted, inhabiting the world he creates art for; Sondheim was analytical, introverted, examining humanity from a remove. Writing about their partnership in Of Sondheim, theater historian Ethan Mordden observed, "The marvelous friction between Sondheim's calculated playwrighting and Prince's intuitive producing certainly brought something new to the musical ... a chemistry that explodes in the rich theatricality of their shows."
"It was Prince," Mordden noted, "who with Sondheim worked out the deconstruction of the musical, liquidating realism for a presentational style in which the audience is always able to remember that it is in the theatre, that the action is not 'real' but an assembly of performers who discuss the story while enacting it." In other words, the two men together codified one of the most important developments of musical theater in the '60s: the concept musical.
3) Prince pretty much co-invented the concept musical — and ushered in a new era with Cabaret
The idea of a "concept musical" is pretty much a useless term today, in an era where musicals have many different forms and structures, often within the same production. But in the '60s and '70s, many of the most important musicals of the era were considered concept musicals because of the way they privileged thematic ideas over plot, and innovative relationships between characters and story. Think shows like Hair, Godspell, Chicago, Jesus Christ Superstar, and all of Sondheim's early work.
These shows were heavily influenced by the meta-theater of playwright and drama theorist Bertolt Brecht (though Sondheim would deny this), and the continual experimentation with format and staging concepts that directors like Jerome Robbins had advanced. For instance, think of the way Robbins's opening number in the Prince-produced Fiddler On the Roof, "Tradition," serves both a narrative purpose and a meta-purpose in introducing the theme of the play and inducting the audience into the story. The concept musicals of the '60s and '70s basically extended that idea to the whole show.
As Mordden describes it, the concept musical "doesn't simply tell the story: it dissects the story ... This is the art of Sondheim, but also that of Prince." The concept musical sort of existed before Prince came along, but it was really Prince's breakout musical, 1966's Cabaret, that codified the idea of a musical that had both a narrative and a meta-format.
In his book Open a New Window, Mordden calls Cabaret "the essential sixties musical."
It could not have happened before the 1960s and would have been unnecessary after; and the decade is inconceivable without it.
Though the Tonys performance shown here seems pretty traditional, Cabaret itself was anything but. It was so unlike other shows that had come before it that it essentially ended the Rodgers and Hammerstein mode of musical theater, paving the way for the era of Sondheim to follow.
Here's how Mordden describes one of Cabaret's most pivotal moments — the moment when Prince's staging in the original production deliberately merges the show's narrative and its meta-narrative:
Cabaret's best innovation occurs when, near the end, Sally sings the title number. At first, we take it for her club act. But then, in the original production, a curtain of streamers fell behind her, cutting her off from the cabaret, from everywhere. "Come to the Cabaret," she urged: hide from reality.
Mordden notes that Prince's staging was key: The theme's communication "lay as much in how it was staged as in what it was saying. That's how the concept musical works."
This type of thematic and narrative overlap might not strike audiences as remarkable today, but it was innovative for a Broadway that had only really found its footing two decades previous, with 1943's Oklahoma!. Prince's directorial style allowed him to visualize and dramatize a musical's meta-commentary to audiences — sometimes to their discomfort. "The concept musical often disturbs the average theatergoer's comfort zone," Mordden noted.
But experimenting with, disturbing, and often disrupting an audience's expectations through theater was something Prince excelled at. Rather than contenting himself with directing only big-budget hits — he turned down Lloyd Webber's invitation to direct Cats — Prince continued to innovate and explore well into the latter decades of his life.
1998's Parade, for example, about the 1913 lynching of Jewish factory worker Leo Frank, was conceived entirely by Prince, who drafted Jason Robert Brown to write the score. You'd hardly expect a directing giant like Prince, then 70, to be building musicals and their creative teams from scratch. But Parade's conception reveals just how passionate Prince continued to be about the theater until his death — and how much his influence still looms over Broadway.
