Sjoerd De Jong, better known as "Hourences" to his colleagues and students, has been an undeniably pivotal force in the Unreal Engine community. While gamers might know him best through his work on The Ball, Unmechanical, Rekoil and a long list of other games, De Jong's extensive tutorials collecting 14 years of experience have become the go-to source of knowledge for independent developers adopting Unreal Engine technology.
With the announcement of Solus, De Jong and fellow Teotl Studios developers Wiktor Ohman, Mario Marquardt and Bianca Savazzi are combining their expertise in game development while leveraging the benefits of Unreal Engine 4 to create a visually arresting sci-fi survival game in which an alien environment is the enemy; a premise requiring the creation and control of intensely dynamic meteorological systems and natural disasters.
De Jong's relationship with Unreal Engine began in 1999 at the age of 15, after a store advertisement compelled him to make a long trek to the city by bicycle to purchase Unreal. Immediately enthralled with the game's 3D realms and unrivaled visuals, he began his journey into modding and game development with equal parts chance and fortitude.
As De Jong recalls, "I did not have Internet access in those days, and my English was far from good, so I basically had absolutely no clue what to do. I did not have any tutorials, no Internet, no help from anyone, and no prior experience. In other words I learned to use Unreal Engine by randomly clicking everything for months on end, until I began to recognize patterns and techniques."
After a year of dedicating himself to level design, De Jong connected with the Unreal Engine community, developing recognition for his work and forging important contacts. He used his skills to land work with Guerrilla Games, Digital Extremes, Starbreeze Studios and Webzen, among other studios. Along the way he also left an indelible mark on Epic's Make Something Unreal legacy.
Make Something Unreal first launched in 2003, with subsequent events kicking off in 2008, 2012 and 2013. Since entering that first competition, De Jong's contributions resulted in an impressive eight first place achievements and 15 top-five finishes across different categories and phases. It was the 2008 entry, The Ball, that put Teotl Studios in the limelight, leading to a commercial release in 2010 and positioning De Jong as a leading proponent of Unreal Engine for independent game developers.
De Jong's website, Hourences.com, is the first stop for many developers and students dipping their feet into Unreal Engine for the first time. Packed with tutorials for Unreal Engine 3 and the Unreal Development Kit, for beginners and advanced users alike, the website has pulled in 4.8 million pageviews. In addition to producing tutorials and training videos for Eat3D, De Jong regularly speaks about Unreal Engine at local universities and holds a leading role at FutureGames, a game development education program located in Stockholm, Sweden.
Solus is being developed with Unreal Engine 4, and De Jong says that transitioning into the new technology and toolset "felt like coming home." When considering the numerous upgrades from Unreal Engine 3, he cited Unreal Engine 4's new Blueprint visual scripting as his favorite feature, using it to create the game's dynamic weather systems and even automate some of the level-building.
In Solus, players must survive on an uninhabited planet amid incredibly harsh conditions with the player under constant threat from extreme highs and lows of temperatures, rising and falling tides, shifting winds and fog, and dozens of other variables that affect everything from the ground-level atmosphere to the stars above. Using Blueprint, Teotl Studios has been able to condense the entire weather and sky system into a single script.
As a professional level designer, De Jong has always held Unreal Engine's tools for creating captivating worlds in the highest regard. The landscape of Solus is a stunning sight indeed, but its scope combined with the small size of Teotl Studios placed a heavy emphasis on the need for efficiency. With the help of Blueprint, De Jong was able to automate some of the level design process by creating script to randomly place rocks and trees in the terrain, significantly reducing the workload in the process.

tBBC MBB: Maryland Mauls Ohio State, 100-65
Discussion in 'News' started by Ken, Jan 16, 2016.
MBB: Maryland Mauls Ohio State, 100-65
(Thad is as speechless as we are)
Ohio State overcame 1st half blahs to roll Rutgers on Wednesday to get them into a feel-good mood for the Maryland game. However, the Terrapins were probably a bit testy after dropping Tuesday's game to Michigan. The testiness showed as the Terrapins dropped the Buckeyes 100-65, The result moved Ohio State to (12-7,4-2) and Maryland to (16-2, 5-1). At the 11:42 mark in the 1st half, OSU trailed by 2, 19-17. From that point on, all the Buckeyes saw was the Terrapins' vapor trail.
Ohio State was overpowered inside and could not hold up to torrid three-point Maryland shooting. Aside from the first 5 minutes of the game, Ohio State was out-hustled and outplayed. ESPN commentator Dan Dakich mentioned a couple of times that Ohio State looked soft and passive on defense. There is probably some truth to that, but I think what feeds that is uncertainty of what to do on defense. Maryland used a game plan similar to Indiana; utilize ball screens and make the 3rd pass, because as sure as you're reading this, OSU will leave someone open. This, as painful as it is to watch, is part of the growing process.
The Buckeyes were led by Kieta Bates-Diop (15 pts), Jae'Sean Tate (12) and Trevor Thompson (10, 7 rbs). The Buckeyes shot 37% (22-59) from the field, 25% (3-12) from 3-pt range and an eye-watering 62% (18-25) from the foul line. They had 30 rebounds, 12 of them offensive rebounds and 13 turnovers.
The Terrapins were 63% (37-59) from the field, 52% (11-21) from 3-pt range and only 71% (15-21) from the line. They grabbed 35 rebounds, 7 of them offensive and committed 14 turnovers. Rutgers was led by Robert Carter (25 pts), Rasheed Sulaimon (22) and Diamond Stone (15). Melo Trimble had only 8 points, but he did provide 9 of their 23 assists.
Both teams* started hot offensively, and at the under-12 timeout, they were tied at 11 apiece. Ohio State was 5-8 (62%) and Maryland was 4-6 (67%). (* MD forward Robert Carter was 3-5 with 8 points out of the gate). Within the first five minutes, OSU had 3 turnovers, all of them traveling..
At the mid-point, Maryland had found a defensive chink is OSU's defensive armor; working the ball into the paint. Terp frontcourters Carter, Stone and Layman were overpowering OSU's interior defense. The other problem was Ohio State's ineffectiveness of running their half court offense. At the 15:26 mark, the game was tied at 11. Over the next 8 minutes, OSU scored 8 points, all off JaQuan layups. Meanwhile, MD scored 17 points to open up a 28-19 lead at the under-8.
A breakaway layup by Kam Williams with :47 broke a 7-0 run by MD to pull the Buckeyes to "within" 16 points, 46-30. MD ended the half on a 14-4 run to go into the half leading 48-30.
The Buckeyes were 14-32 (44%) from the field, 2-5 (40%) from 3-pt range, and did not attempt a free throw. They grabbed 14 rebounds, 6 of them offensive, and had 9 turnovers. Ohio State was led by JaQuan Lyle (8 points), Trevor Thompson (6) and Kieta Bates-Diop (5). Thompson, Bates-Diop and Loving each had three rebounds.
In contrast, Maryland was 19-30 (63%) from the field, 7-10 (70%) from 3-pt range and 3-3 (100%) from the free throw line. The Terrapins had 15 rebounds, 3 of them offensive and 9 turnovers. Robert Carter (15) and Rasheed Sulaimon (13) hit double figures in scoring. Melo Trimble was scoreless, but provided 6 of MD's 14 assists.
One play near the end of the half epitomized the first 20 minutes for the Buckeyes. With :27 remaining in the half, newly inserted A.J. Harris brought the ball down the court, took it to left of the lane, then inexplicably, picked up his dribble. Jake Layman knocked the ball loose with :04 remaining, passed down court to a racing Sulaimon, who finger rolled the layup just ahead of the buzzer. A freshman ball handling mistake led to a breakaway basket. It was that kind of half.
No need to get too deep onto action this half; Maryland upped the level of ass-kicking in the final 20 minutes. At the midpoint, Maryland had outscored Ohio State 32-10 to move the game score to 82-40.
With Maryland emptying the bench, scoring slowed down a bit, with the Terps outscoring the Bucks 52-35 during the half.
The Buckeyes next game is Thursday at @ 9:00 PM ET in West Lafayette, IN. You can watch the game on ESPN (check local listings) and/or listen to it on 97.1. Go Buckeyes!

After her husband dies, Maxie discovers she's spent most of her adult life living in a house of cards. Now she's destitute in a down economy.
Her practical daughter – who has her own set of problems with an unemployed husband and hellion daughter – insists that Maxie begin a new life of austerity and sacrifice. Maxie shops at Daffys instead of Bergdorfs. She takes the bus instead of a car service. She's given up the Met, MOMA, BAM, and even Botox. Nothing seems to help.
If only someone… anyone… would recognize all the talent Maxie has to offer.
Victoria – Tall, attractive, powerful professional woman in her late thirties, early forties.
Maxie – Victoria's mother. She can be quite glamorous and looks ten years younger than her age – 70.
Harmony – Victoria's 13-year-old daughter. She is slightly overweight and quite buxom for her age. She is a handful.
Greg – Victoria's husband and Harmony's father. He is rather withdrawn, until you bring up his favorite subjects – artificial intelligence and robotics.
Christopher – Typical New York recruiter/headhunter who specializes in executive-class recruiting.
Peter – Maxie's boy friend. Very handsome man is his mid 60s.
Place - Manhattan, New York, New York. Victoria and Greg's loft, Christopher's office and Maxie's bedroom.
My life as a writer would be non-existent if I hadn't met Lynda Sturner almost 20 years ago. I had given up being a playwright and then I saw this woman on stage in a terrible play at the Provincetown Inne and I knew I had to meet her. Little did I know that I would end up writing more than two dozen plays - two of them with her as a collaborator.
A Talented Woman won the 2013 New Playwright, New Plays Competition and the Kaplan Prize awarded by Eventide Arts. The $1,000.00 prize included two readings of the play on March 22 and 23 at 7:30 at the Gertrude Lawrence Stage of the Eventide Arts Center in Dennis, MA.
A Talented Woman was a semi-finalist for the 2013 National Playwrights Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center.

AMP Capital has officially approved and commenced Stage 1B of the Marrickville Metro Development in Sydney's Inner West.
Marrickville Metro is a shopping centre located approximately six kilometres from the Sydney CBD and is anchored by Woolworths, Aldi, Kmart and 109 specialty stores.
The development is set to 'up-cycle' an unused industrial warehouse next to the shopping centre and will maintain much of the warehouse's existing façade, in addition to extending the building south between Smidmore Street and Edinburgh Road.
The development was designed by leading architectural practice, Hames Sharley, and will be built by ADCO Constructions over a 20-month period.
Once complete, Marrickville Metro will be expanded from 22,000 square metres to 33,000 square metres and will host an additional 44 new retailers, a fresh food precinct and indoor and al fresco dining options.
AMP Capital expects that the addition of the new fresh food precinct will generate an additional 600 jobs for the local community.
Development Manager, Robert Lewis, said the vision for the development is to create an inclusive space that adds convenience and lifestyle opportunities for members of the local community.
"We're not only upgrading the size of the Metro to meet demand, we're also working to integrate features that really complement and enhance the unique Inner West way of living," Mr Lewis stated.
More information on the development can be found here.

SILK & SADDLES
Most actors would kill for one franchise; Chris Pratt somehow has three. The self-effacing actor from Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers and Jurassic World opens up about why his love for fishing will outlast the thrill of fame
Rob Chilton
The answer people want to hear is that the thrill never goes away, but the reality is that it does.
For many A-list movie stars, life is an endless swirl of flying First Class to exotic locations to shoot films that have budgets larger than the GDP of some countries. It's having assistants bring you kale salads and organic protein smoothies. It's hopping in and out of luxury SUVs with awaiting bottles of artisanal mineral water in the cup holders. It's flashbulbs, premieres, $5,000 tuxedos and red carpets.
But for Chris Pratt, his movie star life can be summed up very simply in just three words: "Faith, family and farm."
One thing he forgot to include on that pleasingly alliterative list is fishing. "I've fished in some pretty extraordinary spots around the world," he says in a conference room of a Hong Kong hotel.
Pratt sits back and stares at the ceiling as he recalls his best trips with his rods. "I caught some big brown trout in New Zealand on a fly, that was pretty cool. I fished reef fish out in French Polynesia, that was awesome. But most of my fishing, I do in the States."
Sitting on a riverbank or a lake with only the sound of birdsong is about as far away from Hollywood as you can get. "For sure," he nods. "It's something I've been passionate about long before I even knew I wanted to be an actor. It's one of the few things in my life that I work to do. A lot of people live to work, but I'm the opposite. I work so I can do the things that I love — and fishing is one of those."
Pratt is about to start shooting his third Jurassic Park movie (how did that happen?) but before that he'll be happily pottering about on his farm in Washington State in the north west corner of the US.
"We have an orchard," he says with a proud smile. "We just finished a magnificent spring with figs, apples, pears and cherries. We have sheep, cows, chickens. It's a proper farm."
One of the four big Chrises in Hollywood right now — Hemsworth aka Thor, Pine as Captain Kirk and Evans, who plays Captain America — Pratt is on a roll after the success of Avengers: Endgame earlier this year.
The Minnesota-born actor just turned 40 and success has arrived relatively late. He came to the fore on the TV comedy Parks and Recreation before gaining cinema recognition for Moneyball (2011), Zero Dark Thirty (2012) and The Lego Movie (2014). With goodwill — and good looks — pushing him forward, Pratt finally landed the big one: a Marvel movie.
Playing Peter Quill/Star Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 set Pratt on his way to an even bigger franchise: Jurassic World. Later, sharing top billing with Jennifer Lawrence in the clever sci-fi drama Passengers was a good step forward, as was the remake of the cowboy action flick The Magnificent Seven with Denzel Washington. With two Avengers movies, two trips in Guardians of the Galaxy and two Jurassic World outings, Pratt now has extensive experience of being in the eye of a blockbuster movie storm. "Making a movie like Endgame or Infinity War is a monumental undertaking and takes close to 200 days of filming, not to mention many years of prep and post-filming work," he says. "It's a lot of actors and schedules and it's very complicated. Most of that work is done by other people to create an environment for us to show up and have fun."
Part of that fun was getting to know Robert Downey Jr. "On the set at lunch he would cook amazing meals and have little parties every day," smiles Pratt, sounding like a fan. "He'd invite cast members to come to his base camp and hang out. That was really great — and very nice of him."
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom took more than a billion dollars in 2018; JP3 will arrive in 2021. "It's going to be pretty epic," he says.
Laura Dern from the original 1993 movie is rumoured to be making a cameo. "If she wants to come in, it would be amazing," Pratt smiles. "An endorsement from one of the original cast members is music to our ears."
Does he still get a thrill from seeing himself on billboards? "The first time you see it, it's mind-boggling," he says. "But I think there's a diminishing return of the thrill that you get when you see that for the first time," he says carefully.
"The answer people want to hear is that the thrill never goes away, but the reality is that it does. It's still very exciting. If you get to the point where it doesn't excite you anymore then it's probably time for you to pack up and do something different. I'm not there yet; it's still thrilling, but not quite as thrilling as the first time."
Pratt is a big fella, with his Avengers physique encased in a smart beige jacket. He has big, proper movie star hair and a firm handshake with eye contact. He says "Oh my gosh" a lot. He's happy to poke fun at himself and seems genuinely amazed that fans have turned up to scream his name and wave Guardians of the Galaxy posters at the Tumi store opening in a luxury Hong Kong mall.
"Avengers has a great fan base in Asia and I'm so grateful," he beams on his first visit to Hong Kong. "I feel very blessed. I wouldn't have my career if it wasn't for fans like this."
He's here to be unveiled as the new ambassador for luxury luggage brand Tumi. Although cynics will say he's just here for the pay cheque but Pratt insists he only signed up because it's a brand he has genuinely used for the last 10 years.
"I've never been guy who jumped on board to endorse a brand," he says. "I'm an actor and I'm careful about selecting roles; it's the same with this. Working with Tumi made perfect sense, it was authentic for me."
We ask Tumi's creative director Victor Sanz why he chose Pratt. "He's dynamic, fun, handsome, he's new and fresh — he's relatable," Sanz says. "You see his movies: he's super charismatic and approachable, but he does serious roles too."
Pratt is engaged to Katherine Schwarzenegger, daughter of Arnold. He has one son, six-year-old Jack with his ex-wife, the actress Anna Faris. Their divorce in 2017 after eight years of marriage was one of the most amicable in Hollywood history with Faris applauding news of the engagement on her podcast, calling them "amazing people".
She added, "Grudge-holding is not something that Chris and I do. We wanted to make sure, of course, that Jack was happy, but that we were happy and supportive of each other."
Pratt says, "I've got great people in my life who've known me my whole life through the ups and downs. I'm lucky I have fostered relationships with people. Life is all about love and relationships."
The noise at the Hong Kong mall is reaching dangerous levels as Pratt walks on a makeshift stage and waves to fans, some of whom have been waiting for hours. One fan has even made a replica mixtape from Guardians of the Galaxy and is eagerly holding a Sharpie for Pratt (he eventually battles his way through the crowd and signs it). The camera flashes are blinding.
After posing for what seems like 100 selfies with delirious fans, Pratt is ushered away to his hotel and, later, to the airport for his flight back to America and his farm, a million miles away from the red carpet of fame and flashbulbs.

I was planning to take a different version of this deck to German Nationals with Renly Baratheon (FFH) and Oldtown for additional draw, but decided to play my song deck instead. This version doesn't have that much draw, only Oathkeeper Littlefinger, 2 Pleasure Barges, Alerie Tyrell and Win Or Die, but that was usually enough. Filtering 2-3 attachments per round makes it more probable that you draw into your characters.
Win challenges with Randyll Tarly or Green-Apple Knights, and have your entire board still standing after your attacks.
Little Bird and Noble Lineage can make these characters tricons.
Jousting Ser Randyll is one of my favourite combos in the game.
I prefer Qohor over Crossing because of Milk and strength boosts/stand on demand and the possibility to guard your renown lords.
Close the game with A Tourney for the King, I usually try this plot before Win Or Die.
Valar Morghulis can be a problem if you don't see Randyll Tarly or Ser Loras (or Littlefinger, Ser Garlan, and Alerie Tyrell) because you can't qohor a Bodyguard.
He had Wyman Manderly and Robb Stark end of round 1, both with a Bodyguard. But he couldn't Valar because my Randyll Tarly go(a)t a bodyguard of his own. I dohaerised to separate the sacrifice dream team. Round 3 Tourney for the King sealed the deal.
Randyll Tarly got pinched a lot, but I also had a duped Loras hoarding some power. Round 3 he won initiative (You Win Or You Die vs. A Tourney for the King) and quadruple-pinched Randyll, Littlefinger and 5-power Loras with 3 attachments. He finished the round with 13 power. I dohaerised, rebuilt my board and could prevent further pinching milking his stealth characters. Next round I can go first with You Win Or You Die and close the game.
Craven and Milk of the Poppy slowed me down while he had The Wall out turn 1. Qhorin Halfhand decimated my board. When I dohaerised he chose his 6-power renown dudes (Qhorin Halfhand and Ser Waymar Royce with Longclaw, who he had since setup) over Aemon and a duped Three-Finger Hobb, so he couldn't play Valar Morghulis. He was low on intrigue, so Ser Jon Fossoway and Randyll Tarly with Little Bird could edge out the win thanks to Relentless Assault.
This time I had Randyll Tarly and qohored a Bodyguard, so Valar Morghulis wasn't a good option for him. He opened Counting Coppers because of no big guys in hand, which allowed to dominate the challenge phase round 1, although Randyll's stand got vinced twice. Round 2, he tried to slow me down with The King in the North, but that backfired. I played Seized by the Guard on his Refurbished Hulk, so he only had 5 gold + Fealty, 1 gold short to play King Balon, and use his reducer locations. :) I got 3 extra power on Randyll Tarly with Name Day Tourney, and picked his only big guy Balon for claim.
I have a few questions about the deck.
How do you feel about Isle, is it necessary?
Despite Relentless Assault performing on the day, would you consider cutting it?
What are your thoughts on Honey vs Bacon?
How does the deck perform against Free Folk and did you feel 28 characters is enough in general?
I think Isle of Ravens always deserve a spot in Qohor decks. During the game I lost the 4th Milk of the Poppy would have helped a lot.
Beacon of the South is a good idea. If you have a head start, a tutored Beacon could really accelerate your power gain. The timing with Qohor is a bit clunky, it's rather a card you want to replace than put on a character.
I included 1 Old Bill Bone because of The Free Folk, because I consider that a very bad matchup. You can get the 2 Bodyguards to protect, but you'll run out of cards quickly. I would try to rush as hard as possible with the initiative 8 plots round 2 and 3.
How about Arbor Marketplace over Arbor Vineyard at this point?
Not sure, Arbor Marketplace is a tempo hit for a rush deck like this.

Niels Christian Congo Turin Nielsen (også nogle steder skrevet Turin-Nielsen, født 22. januar 1887 på Frederiksberg, død 9. juni 1964 på Frederiksberg) var en dansk gymnast, som deltog i de olympiske lege 1908 og 1920.

Ved begge olympiske lege konkurrerede han i holdgymnastik. I 1908 var han del af et 24 mand stort hold, der endte på fjerdepladsen i holdgymnastik. I 1920 vandt han sammen med 19 andre danske deltagere guldmedalje i holdgymnastik efter frit system. Holdet var sikret medalje på forhånd, da kun to nationer stillede op. Danmark fik 51,35 point på førstepladsen, mens Norge vandt sølv med 48,55 point.

  (...) This property is set only if the regular expression instance
  used the "g" flag to indicate a global search.

Reference: Mozilla Developer Network

A: Example in Javascript to explain:
> 'aaa'.match(/a/g)
[ 'a', 'a', 'a' ]

> 'aaa'.match(/a/)
[ 'a', index: 0, input: 'aaa' ]

A: G in regular expressions is a defines a global search, meaning that it would search for all the instances on all the lines.

A: Will give example based on string. If we want to remove all occurences from a
string.
Lets say if we want to remove all occurences of "o" with "" from "hello world"
"hello world".replace(/o/g,'');

A: As @matiska pointed out, the g flag sets the lastIndex property as well.
A very important side effect of this is if you are reusing the same regex instance against a matching string, it will eventually fail because it only starts searching at the lastIndex.

// regular regex
const regex = /foo/;

// same regex with global flag
const regexG = /foo/g;

const str = " foo foo foo ";

const test = (r) => console.log(
    r,
    r.lastIndex,
    r.test(str),
    r.lastIndex
);

// Test the normal one 4 times (success)
test(regex);
test(regex);
test(regex);
test(regex);

// Test the global one 4 times
// (3 passes and a fail)
test(regexG);
test(regexG);
test(regexG);
test(regexG);

A: g is for global search. Meaning it'll match all occurrences. You'll usually also see i which means ignore case.
Reference: global - JavaScript | MDN

The "g" flag indicates that the regular expression should be tested against all possible matches in a string.

Without the g flag, it'll only test for the first.
Additionally, make sure to check cchamberlain's answer below for details on how it sets the lastIndex property, which can cause unexpected side effects when re-using a regex against a series of values.

A: g is the global search flag.
The global search flag makes the RegExp search for a pattern throughout the string, creating an array of all occurrences it can find matching the given pattern.
So the difference between  /.+/g and /.+/  is that the g version will find every occurrence instead of just the first.

A: There is no difference between /.+/g and /.+/ because they will both only ever match the whole string once. The g makes a difference if the regular expression could match more than once or contains groups, in which case .match() will return an array of the matches instead of an array of the groups.

A: *

*g -> returns all matches

*without g -> returns first match

example:

*

*'1 2 1 5 6  7'.match(/\d+/) returns ["1", index: 0, input: "1 2 1 5 6  7", groups: undefined]. As you see we can only take first match "1".

*'1 2 1 5 6  7'.match(/\d+/g) returns an array of all matches ["1", "2", "1", "5", "6", "7"].

A: In my case i have a problem that i need to reevaluate string each time from the first letter, for this a have to remove /my_regexp/g(global flag) to stop moving lastIndex.
as mentioned in mdn:

Be sure that the global (g) flag is set, or lastIndex will never be advanced.

Q: Django sites framework permissions I am using the sites framework to run multiple apps off of one code base. I have 3 users, and 3 sites. They can login to the django admin interface and create content but I want them to see only the site they are allowed to manage, not the others, can the sites framework handle this? if not can anyone guide me to the right direction as to how this can be accomplished?
EDIT:
What I did was a simple example. Here goes....
class Weblog(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=250)
    slug = models.SlugField(unique=True)
    user = models.ForeignKey(User) # this is the user who should own that blog and see nothing else
    site = models.ForeignKey(Site)

    objects = models.Manager()
    on_site = CurrentSiteManager()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.title

class Entry(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    slug = models.SlugField()
    body = models.TextField()
    author = models.ForeignKey(User)
    weblog = models.ForeignKey(Weblog)

This is where I am confused. I understand the concept of a weblog having a reference to a site and a user as well. But then how does one limit that person to only see and add/edit the entries on their own weblog that was created for them?
Thanks

A: Yes, the Django sites framework can do exactly that. As I have not much information about what you already did, I can't really help you, so please give more details.
Also check the specific documentation.
EDIT Ok, I understand it now, your problem is to restrict users to only view and edit content about their dedicated site. This is a little more complicated.
It depends if you use the admin interface or custom views to handle this views and edits. If you use custom ones it can be done easily changing the queryset used, but I imagine you use the admin interface.
In this case, maybe overriding the default manager (objects) with CurrentSiteManager() can do the job. But

*

*it can have side effects, overriding the default manager is not recommended, you need to test it (the first side effect is: you won't have a listing of all edits on all sites)

*you must be sure that user A can't login in site B admin interface

Another solution may be to create custom admins for each one of these websites. See the admin doc.
But, just a question: if you don't want to let users edit content on each of these websites, do you however need to have a unique interface to all this admin websites? For example to let one person be able to edit content on all the sites)
If not, maybe the Sites framework is not the way to go, and you should better make each website independant and clearly separated?
Another solution is to look to the permissions possibilities of Django which let you define custom permissions to your views. I think (haven't tried it) it can also be used to protect admin views.
I hope this can help.

A: Django-site-permissions application would do exactly that:
https://github.com/bmihelac/django-site-permissions
You can integrate it in your project if it meets your needs or check the source code to see how site wide permissions can be implemented.
(disclaimer: I am the developer of django-site-permissions app)

Right now, my favorite restaurant and the only restaurant we've been going to right now, is La Natural. They have a sourdough made with a really old starter and they make amazing pizza. When I first started going, they had this grilled pineapple, and it was so good. It was seasonal, but now they have these mushrooms with green sauce. My husband and I are both very particular about food and there's certain places where it might taste good, but you don't feel good afterwards, so you don't end up going back. But I feel great after I eat at La Natural. There's another little place that I really love that my husband has been going to since he was a teenager, called Tarragon Middle East Market. It's owned by two Lebanese brothers who are twins and they're just so kind and so nice. The dates they sell are like no other date I have ever tasted in my life. They just melt in your mouth. All their food is really good.

We like places that have healthy options on the menu. We like Bolay, Grown, and Diced - they have several locations. Then, we like to go to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods for vegan or vegetarian options that we can make at home.

I used to be a restaurant critic at age 19. I'm serious. I had a food blog when nobody was doing it, but that was 20 years ago. I really don't do a lot of restaurants here. If we want to go out in Weston, we go to two places. Pizza Lovers - he's Italian and makes very thin crust pizza. And there's a sushi place called KEUH. In Miami, I love Mandolin, the Greek restaurant. And, Motek, which serves Israeli food. In Little Havana there's a place called El Sanguich, for Cuban sandwiches. I love it.

EVIDENCE OF TUNGUSKA-TYPE IMPACTS OVER THE PACIFIC BASIN AROUND THE YEAR 1178 A.D.
Emilio Spedicato
Department of Mathematics, University of Bergamo Piazza Rosate 2, 24129 Bergamo, Italy - emilio@unibg.it
As related by Clube and Napier in their monograph The Cosmic Winter, see [1], in the year 1178 A.D. four wise men of Canterbury were sitting outside on a clear and calm 18th June night, a half Moon standing placidly in the starry sky. Suddenly they noticed a flame jutting out of a horn of the Moon. Then they saw the Moon tremble and its colour change slowly from light brilliant to a darker reddish tone. Such a colour remained for all the time the Moon was visible during that phase. This story is found in a manuscript version of Canterbury annals, that was shown to Clube by a medieval English history specialist.
When the hidden face of the Moon was first photographed by a lunar mission, a large and clearly very recently produced crater was visible near the lunar north polar region. It was named the Giordano Bruno crater. Its recent origin is shown by the absence of secondary superimposed craters. The crater is considered to have been produced by a cometary or meteoritic impact with a body of 2-3 kilometers size, implying an energy in the range of hundred of million of megatons. The year of the impact might well be 1178 A.D., thereby explaining the observations recorded in the Canterbury annals, as first proposed apparently by Hartung [2].
Now it is known that cometary or meteoritic impacts do not happen on a purely stochastic way and that almost contemporary multiple impacts are a rather common event. This follows from the fact that the impacting bodies are often part of a stream of objects (comets, Apollos,...) produced by the disintegration of an initially larger body, by causes like internal instability or disrupting tidal forces by planets near which the object has passed. While the stream tends with time to expand and dissolve, its existence is nonetheless the reason for a likely multiplicity of impacts (notice for instance that the Wien University geologists Alexander and Edith Tollmann in [3] have given geological arguments for a seven-fold multiple cometary impact over Earth oceans at circa 6500 B.C.) and for an enhanced probability of impacts at the time the Earth is crossing the stream region.
By the above arguments, the following question naturally arises: was planet Earth, whose cross section is much larger than the Moon's (by a factor about 15), also impacted around the year 1178? Preliminary to this question: was the Earth crossing a stream around 1178? Then, if the Earth was hit, where was the event or the events and which were the consequences?
In the following nine sections we give arguments for likely multiple impacts over the Pacific basin, with dramatic consequences for the people living in that area and some, albeit delayed, dramatic consequences also for the Mediterranean region.
Your mind understands what you have been taught; your heart what is true.
Re: Evidence of Tunguska-Type Impacts Over the Pacific Basin -circa 1178 CE
2. Evidence of the crossing of a cometary stream in the year 1178 A.D.
There are at least two pieces of information that indicate that the Earth crossed a cometary stream during the late 11th and the 12th century, with a peak around the half of the 12th century.
The first information comes from European history. Frequent and scaring appearances of large comets were indeed a main factor that contributed to the special psychological climate that led to the Crusades, which were often seen, at least at the popular level, as a means for atonement of sins, the divine wrath expressing itself through the menacing comets. A great comet appeared during a meeting of bishops, where a decision had to be taken for starting the first Crusade, and was a final argument in favour of the Crusade.
The second piece comes from Chinese astronomers, who were routinely recording comets and fireballs. Such recordings have been the object of a study by Clube [4]. They show a very clear peak of sightings around the middle of the 12th century, the peak being over ten times higher than the average background. It is interesting to notice that a similar peak is also present at about half the 6th century, a time when, according to several Byzanthin historians quoted by Gibbon [5], e. g. Malala, Procopius and Theophanes, many scaring comets appeared in the sky. That was also the time of the great Justinian plague, which decimated the population of the Mediterranean region, killing up to 90% of the population according to some estimates. This depopulation was certainly a major factor which facilitated the Arab expansion some three generations later.
3. Arguments from New Zealand Maori legends
From New Zealand two arguments come. First we have the Maori legends stating that, several centuries ago, fire came from the sky, burned most of the forests and killed the Moa birds (the Maori adamantly reject the western scholars opinion that overhunting was the reason for the Moa disappearance). Secondly there is the recent finding of a number of shallow and definitely very recent impact craters, named the Tapanui craters, in the South Island. Additionally, layers of soot, datable at the cratering time, have been detected in several places. The Tapanui craters and the presence of soot can be taken as a confirmation that "fire" came from the sky, burned the forests and killed the Moas, as the Maori legends state. The time of the event has been estimated at circa 800 years ago, therefore falling at our proposed date. For more information on the event see Steel and Snow [6] and Pajak [7,8].

4. Arguments from Polynesia
It is known, see Heyerdahl [9] and Fornander [10], that at the end of the 12th century there have been severe disruptions throughout the archipelagos in Polynesia, leading to discontinuities in the local dinasties and to generalized migrations, mainly in the direction from North America to the Hawaiis and to the other islands.
Heyerdahl writes (see quoted monograph, pp. 169,170):
A. Fornander, a notable early Polynesian genealogist, after a life-long study of Polynesian tribe history claimed that about 30 generations reckoned from the end of the last century bring us back to a period when the aristocracy in almost all groups took, so to say, a new departure. From then on, during a period of a few generations, all royal lines were interrupted and substituted by new ones. A migratory wave swept the island world of the Pacific, embracing in its vortex all the principal groups, and probably all the smaller. Its traces were deep and indelible. It modified the ancient customs, creed and polity. It even affected the speech of the people.... new tutelar gods succeeded the earlier deities, new place names replaced old ones... the construction of the pyramidal stone platforms also seemed to have ceased during this period... traditional narratives show that an early people were found in Hawaii, Cook Islands and New Zealand by the later Polynesians...the later immingrants conquered their predecessors, who were not exterminated but absorbed.} The date of the events can be set between the years 1100 and 1200, see also the work of another Polynesian genealogist, Percy Smith [11], an interval which brackets our proposed date 1178.
To this time it is also possible to relate the migration that, according again to Heyerdahl [12,13], brought a community of Melanesian people to Easter Island, which at that time was inhabited by a completely different type of people (high stature, reddish hair, europoid features) and a more advanced culture, one of whose main elements was the construction of the famous giants. For several centuries the Melanesian people lived as slaves and worked in the quarries to build the statues. Then, probably in the year 1670, they rebelled and killed most of their masters (apparently only one adult male was left alive).
5. Arguments from South America
In South America we first observe, at the time under discussion, the rather sudden demise of the great coastal civilizations (Mochicas, Chimus,...), that, inter alia, had build huge pyramids (the largest of the Tucume pyramid, near the northern Peru town of Lambayeque, had a square basis with a side of about 800 meters; while only about 70 meters high, its total volume was about 30% greater than that of the great Giza pyramid) and a complex system of canals for irrigation. The demise was sudden and without recovery. It was also associated to substantial ruin of the pyramids, by evident erosion by flood (the pyramids were not build in stone but with compacted soil), and of the irrigation system.
Secondly, we observe, immediately following the demise of the coastal civilization, the rise, in the high Andine range, of the new Incas civilization. The Incas, in the course of three centuries, till they collapsed under the Spaniard aggression, probably benefiting to a large extent of the construction techniques previously developed by the coastal people, founded a great empire extending from present Colombia to Chile, well connected by an efficient road system. The Incas royal family claimed a very ancient origin and also differenciated itself from the common people by the use of a special form of language (the royal Quechua). According to a recently found manuscript dated to the year 1611 and containing information attributed to Blas Valera, (see Laurencich Minelli et al. [14]), a Jesuit with a Spanish father and an Incas mother, the Incas royal family traced its origin to the 6th century (quite intriguingly, a time of great cometary activity and of the Justinian plague), when two groups of migrating people are claimed to have reached South America, one from the West (Tartaria) and one from the East, these last people being called Viracochas and being white dressed. A fighting followed their meeting and most of the Viracochas were killed. The royal Incas family descended from intermarriages between the people from the West and the surviving Viracochas.
The development at this time, after the collapse of the coastal civilization, of a civilization of essentially high mountains can be intriguingly explained if the coastal civilization was destroyed by a natural catastrophical event, like a great tsunami, which scared enormously the survivors and the neighbouring people. The coastal area was then abandoned and the civilization restarted on higher, presumibly safer, land. Effects of wheather changes, e.g. drier conditions along the coast, may also have contributed to this geographical displacement.
Thirdly, analysis of past El Niño behaviour indicates unusual conditions at the time under consideration. Information on past intensity of El Niño can be obtained by analysis of the oceanic sediments, particularly by the relative abundances of certain shellfish which develop only when the water temperature rises above a certain level (the El Niño current is cold, so a strong El Niño wipes out most of this shellfish). Recent analysis, see Heyerdahl [15], has shown that El Niño activity has dramatically peaked around the middle of the 12th century. An unusually strong El Niñno not only would result in a disruption of the normal local Pacific fauna, but would provoke very strong torrential rains over the usually dry Peruvian coastal region. This may have been the main cause of the observed strong erosion of the Tucume pyramids and a factor for disruption of the local irrigation system. We however suspect that the demise of the coastal civilization has to be related to a very dramatic and killing tsunamic wave.
6. Arguments from Central America
The fifth argument comes from Central America, relating to the origin of the Aztec civilization and to some extent explaining the Aztec obsession with human sacrifice.
When Cortes reached central Mexico, he met there the stronghold of the Aztects, who were living in a rather small region west of the great Popocatepl--Ixtacihuatl volcanic range, in a bowl shaped region of circa 2.000 square kilometers, completely surrounded by mountains, the local rivers sending their waters not to the ocean but to a marshy lake at the center of the region, lake Texcoco (now almost completely dried up). In the middle of the lake, on a number of small islets, the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan was build, counting at Cortes time possibly over one million people (in one of his letters to Charles 5th, the Spanish emperor, Cortes, see [16], claimed that over 400.000 persons in the city had died of the epidemics, smallpox, brought by the Spaniards; due to the ferocity of the fighting possibly more people died of wounds and several thousands survived the destruction).
It appears from geography that the Aztects had chosen to live and in particular to build their capital in a region whose main feature, from the point of view of the presently discussed scenario, was to be well protected, thanks to its elevation and to the surrounding mountain ranges, by a possible rise of the ocean, or a possible tsunamic wave.
Now it is known from several sources, particularly from one of the few surviving codices, namely the so called codex Ramirez, see [17], that the Aztecs were not native of central Mexico, but had reached that region only a few centuries before Cortes's arrival. Their original place, named Aztlan, was located on the Pacific coast, probably near the present city of Mazatlan, some 300 km. north--west of Guadalajara. According to studies by Vaillant [18] and Brundage [19], their migration started around the middle of the 12th century, Brundage actually proposing the date 1168, which is amazingly close to the date we are considering (and since this date is an estimate, one cannot exclude that the correct year was indeed 1178).
Why did the Aztecs move from a coastal region to a high land? We conjecture that, similarly to what happened to the coastal region of Peru, also the Pacific coastal region of Mexico was affected by a huge tsunami. The surviving people were immensely scared and took refuge up to the Mexican plateau in the marshes of Lake Texcoco. Probably they interpreted the catastrophe in religious terms as a punishment by their gods for not being sufficiently pious. Thus they adopted a policy of strong piety, meaning in their religion a policy of human sacrifices, which scandalized the Spaniards, but whose roots can probably be traced in the reenactment of past catastrophical events in the solar system...
7. Arguments from Japan
Around 1178 there is an important political discontinuity in the Japanese history, given by the passage of the political power, after a period of intense fighting, from the southern Taira dynasty (with capital Miako, now Kyoto), to the northern Minamoto dynasty (with capital Kamakura, near Edo, now Tokyo). Termination of the fighting is around the year 1182. This political event may certainly be a chance occurrence in our context, save for a possible hint to unusual meteorological conditions.
A major event of the war was the unexpected destruction of the southern fleet by a very violent typhoon. This too could be a chance event, but the similar fate meeting not many years later the Chinese--Mongolian fleet sent by Khubilai Khan to attempt the conquest of Japan, as related by Marco Polo, may be taken as suggestive of unusually irregular and strong typhoons in the north-west quadrant of the Pacific basin, thereby parallelizing the unusual behaviour of El Niño at that time around the coasts of Peru.
8. Arguments from northern China
The 12th century is a critical time in northern China. From a political point of view the corrupt and decaying regime of the late Song dinasty leads to social unrest and widely spread rebellions, so graphically described in the great Chinese classic novel The Water Margins (probably written later, but there is no consensus on either the author or the time of writing). Northern China was occupied by Juchen tribes from Machuria in the second half of that century. Additionally natural disasters at unprecedented level affected the region, among which main was the flood of the Huang He (the Yellow River). So catastrophical was this flood that the previous northern Song capital, the great city of Kaifeng, was almost completely destroyed and, moreover, the river changed its exit into the sea, moving it in 1194 from a location north of the Shandong peninsula to one south of it, hundreds of kilometers away (the river has returned to its previous exit in 1852 after another severe flood). Whether the natural disasters at this time are a chance event or are correlated with the other observed events, in particular with a possible modification of the typhoon regime and the strong increase of El Niño, is a question that deserves further study.
9. Arguments from Mongolia
In the annals of Khubilai Khan, the Yuan dinasty emperor of the second generation after Gengis Khan, well known as the host of Marco Polo, it is written that "my great ancestor Gengis Khan saw a sign of change in the sky ... and arose in the North", as in the annals translation made by the Eastern Cultures curator of the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto and available in the library of that museum (the above sentence is actually readable in a poster in the room devoted to China). Now Gengish Khan, firstly named Temujin, is believed to have been born in 1165, hence in 1178 he would have been 13 years old. He might have observed one of the great fireballs or falling comets or asteroids, which were recorded with unusually high frequency at that time by Chinese astronomers.
The conquest of the greater part of Asia and even of part of Europe by the Mongolian horsemen in the space of one generation is one of the great events of history. The extraordinary personality of Gengis Khan, a man with enormous intelligence, will, long range planning and additionally shamanistic powers, was certainly a main factor behind the Mongolian expansion. In the Secret History of the Mongols, see [20], the Mongolian drive tends to be explained in terms of avenging wrongs, including the destruction of the family of Gengis Khan (he survived by hiding himself in the waters of a river) and the wrongs that his tribe suffered by the nearby ( Christian Nestorian) Tayichud and Kereit tribes. The attack of the Mongolians against Persia, then a huge empire, under Selgiuchid sultans control, stretching from Anatolia to Central Asia and including Afghanistan and part of India, which led to some of the worst massacres in history and to such a devastation of Central Asia that these countries have not yet recovered, is similarly explained in terms of a vengeance against the sultan Jalal--ad--Din, who had ordered the murder of peaceful Mongolian merchants, see Ata Malik Al Juvaini [21]. However behind these personal and very classical motivations there are probably other more objective reasons that made it almost necessary for the Mongolians to leave their original land (a high plateau with continental climate and very cold winters, particularly in the region where Gengis Khan was born, north-west Mongolia, partly now belonging to Siberia) for other lands with a better climate. Here we suggest that the main reason was indeed an unexpected and dramatic change of climate in Mongolia, with winters much colder and more snowy than usual, the snow cover probably not melting during the summer, thereby making the normal pastoral life almost impossible. An indication that such was the case, and that the deteriorated wheather conditions lasted for about two generations, can be found in the quoted work of Ata Malik al Juvaini. This Persian author, born in a Khorasan family, became governor of Persia after the conquest by the Mongolians. He wrote a rather monumental history of the Mongolian conquest, around 1260, after the Alamut fortress, the stronghold of the Ishmaelites (the Assassins), was taken (the Alamut castle had one of the greatest libraries of medieval times; most books were burnt, but Al Juvaini personally selected a number to be saved. Which ones.....? Maybe here is the origin of maps like the Piri Reis map, and of exoteric books upon which Blavatsky claimed to base her ideas). In his history Al Juvaini states that at about the time of the fall of Alamut it had again become possible to grow apple trees in Mongolia, a fact, he explicitly notes, wich had not been possible for two generations. This is a definitive indication of a very severe wheather deterioration in the Mongolian plateau starting from about our date 1178. Apple trees are indeed resistant to very cold temperatures, at least in many varieties cultivated for ages throughout Europe and Asia. In 1979 a cold wave swept throughout Russia, temperatures dropping to --50 centigrades in Moscow (water pipes inside the building of the Computing Center of the Academy of Sciences froze and exploded; thus no water was available for sanitation.... fortunately my arrival there was at the beginning of May, when temperature in one week passed from freezing to over 40 centigrades...). In Kirov, some 600 km. north--east of Moscow, temperature dropped to --55 centigrades. Apple trees survived in the Moscow region, but were killed in the Kirov region.
If a severe wheather problem was behind the Mongolian expansion, a similar reason may have been behind other great migrations and wars involving the pastoral people, e.g. the Huns and the Scythians. In particular there are arguments that this may have been the case concerning the great Scythian invasion of Middle East and Egypt, referred to by Diodorus. In a future paper we will argument that the Hyksos who invaded Egypt at the time of Dudimose (Tutimaios in Manetho), just after the Hebrew escaped under Moses leadership, as Velikovsky argumented, see [22], and Rohl [23] has confirmed, were Scythians, as wild and destructive as the Mongolians at the time of Gengis Khan, and that their name means exactly it the clan of the horsemen.
10. Arguments from Europe
Apparently there are no particular discontinuities in Europe in the second half of the 12th century, a period of rather intensive economic growth, a fact therefore indicating that, if a catastrophe hit the Pacific basin, it did not affect the opposite hemisphere. However at the beginning of the 14th century Europe is affected by the great Black Death epidemics, usually attributed to the bacterium of plague ( bacillus pestis ), which, albeit certainly not as destructive as the Justinian plague, still killed an estimated 30% of the total population (this percentage varying from place to place, Bohemia quite intriguingly escaping almost completely). The plague seems to have started in Mediterranean ports, involved in trade with the East, and along the caravan roads leading to central Asia. While Hoyle and Wickramasinghe [24] have suggested that the agents of the plague were bacterial material arrived from the sky and brought by comets (and that was a time of intense cometary activity....) the general consensus is that the plague came from Mongolia, where bacillus pestis is a common host in a variety of rats (and, be careful if you want to caress them, in Californian squirrels too...). In our proposed scenario of a severe wheather disruption in the Mongolian region, it may be surmised that the bacteria became more virulent and/or had easier access to a population immunologically weakened by famine and other difficulties. Or, and here we take the Hoyle et al. suggestion, the bodies impacting in the Pacific region, including the northern China and Mongolian region, may have brought a fresh resupply of bacterial material, possibly characterized by mutations. Such bacteria may have again found their usual host, the rats, and attacked more easily a population weakened by climate changes, famine and war and not yet immunized against the new mutation.
11. Final conclusions
In the previous sections we have given a number of intriguing arguments supporting the hypothesis that around the year 1178 the Pacific basin was subject to catastrophical events, of a probable extraterrestrial origin:
a -- political discontinuities (in Peru, Mexico, north-east Asia, Polynesia, Easter Island)
b -- abundance of unusually strong "signs in the sky ", in the Maori legends, the Chinese astronomers records, the Mongolian annals
c -- unusual wheather conditions, very strong El Niño, probable irregular beheviour of the typhoons near Japan, catastrophical flooding in Northern China and unusually severe cold in Mongolia.
The above evidence has not been collected via a systematic study of the people of the Pacific region at that time, but has come via rather casual readings, hence a systematic survey of the possible sources is almost certainly bound to provide further confirmation. For instance, the rather sudden and puzzling disappearance of many of the pueblo people in the southwest of northern America, which can be traced back to that time, might be associated with the global catastrophe that apparently affected the Pacific region.
