Recently, Impact's Richa Dani, Director of Strategic Partnerships, sat down with BuzzFeed's Nilla Ali, VP, Strategic Partnerships, to find out just how this remarkable media company was able to maximize its partner relationships to grow its business like few others can. Take a look at the innovative, responsive ways BuzzFeed takes a holistic view and implements data, keeping its finger on the pulse of its audiences.
Richa Dani: Digiday has reported on ways that affiliate and ad businesses complement each other, such as driving ad performance and more. How has BuzzFeed's affiliate business affected/helped fuel/changed your ad business?
Nilla Ali: Affiliate has and continues to be complementary to our ad business, and has enabled BuzzFeed to evolve our business to better serve both our audience and advertising partners.
Advertisers are actively exploring the most efficient and effective way to get their products and value proposition in front of highly qualified prospective shoppers, and consumers are actively seeking recommendations for the best brands and products that fit their specific needs. Affiliate has enabled BuzzFeed to lean into a data-driven strategy that drives utility for our audience, while creating an ecosystem of consumers with high intent. BuzzFeed is now able to offer a full-funnel approach to advertisers, with products that drive brand awareness at scale and content that drives discoverability and high intent, which ultimately drives lower funnel conversion.
At its core, affiliate is a data-driven channel, enabling BuzzFeed to develop an overall advertising strategy that is rooted in real consumer behavior, and that utilizes best practices and learnings from our affiliate business.
Richa: More premium publishers like BuzzFeed have looked at the partner channel as a growing revenue channel. What spurred that? What were BuzzFeed's reasons for activating this revenue stream and how did you go about it? What would you say to the detractors of this trend?
Nilla:Advertisers are understanding that consumer behavior is shifting, and that there has been a rise in customer acquisition through storytelling. This form of advertising feels natural to how consumers shop in their day-to-day life. When your friend or someone in your life whose opinion you trust recommends a new product they love, you're highly inclined to learn more and try it out for yourself. BuzzFeed has simulated that dynamic by cultivating a strong relationship with our audience; over the years our authentic storytelling and dedication to identity-driven content has created a deep feeling of trust in the BuzzFeed brand and its endorsement of select brands or products. BuzzFeed leverages insights from our highly engaged audience to create content that we know will resonate, and there have been clear signals that our audience looks to BuzzFeed to determine where and what to shop.
Affiliate enables BuzzFeed to better understand what product recommendations and brands resonate most strongly with our audience. Leveraging this data, we've been able to scale a business that services our audience through utility-driven content, while giving brands an effective channel to showcase the best products in an authentic way.
The biggest blocker in the rapid growth of affiliate is a lack of reliable attribution models. Given BuzzFeed's massive scale and highly engaged audience, when a product is featured in our content, we'll see a "network effect," meaning the product will likely have a large uptick in sales, which may be unaccounted for through the last-click model. We know consumers often have a consideration period before ultimately making a purchase, so although discovery and high intent is driven from BuzzFeed's content, users might then research and validate whether the product is a right fit for their specific needs. Unfortunately, in that process the attribution for the content publisher is lost, which undermines the true value of the affiliate channel. It's challenging to scale a business where accurate attribution is limited, but we've explored innovative ways to prove the value of our shopping content despite the challenges with affiliate attribution.
Richa: BuzzFeed maintains editorial integrity while also monetizing links within your editorial better than anyone else—how do you do this, and do you have tips and advice on balancing on this tightrope?
Nilla: The beauty of affiliate is that it's a self-policing monetization strategy. You cannot build a sustainable affiliate business if you're creating inauthentic content or recommending products that the editorial team does not truly endorse. The core objective of BuzzFeed's affiliate strategy is to build a sustainable business, and we know that preserving editorial integrity is essential for long-term growth, so we're highly committed to maintaining that.
For other publishers looking to scale an affiliate business, I'd recommend staying authentic to your brand, and placing editorial integrity as your highest priority; from there follow the data to evolve the business by analyzing and unpacking what resonates the best with your audience.
Richa: Fast Company recently named BuzzFeed a "most innovative company," citing your knack for creating highly shareable content and high-performance social campaigns. What are some of the innovations that you have employed when it comes to working with advertisers on an affiliate/partnership basis?
Nilla: BuzzFeed's main objective is two-fold: servicing our audience, and creating innovative ways for advertisers to engage with highly qualified prospective shoppers. With that mission in mind, last year BuzzFeed launched BuzzFeed Reviews, a review site dedicated to surfacing the best products at three different price points. Identity-driven content is at the core of BuzzFeed's DNA, and we believe that the same sentiment applies to shopping habits. Different people have different price point sensitivities, depending on the products they are purchasing. You may be unwilling to pay a lot for a hairdryer, but you're willing to spend on the best tooth whitener. We believe it's possible to purchase quality product across a range of price points, so we've done the work to surface the best products depending on your willingness to spend and catered to everyone's specific needs.
BuzzFeed Reviews showcases the best products selected by our editorial team, and is an effective way for BuzzFeed to service an audience with high intent to purchase a specific product. The navigation and intent of the site is an evolution and extension of our core shopping experience, and was born out of BuzzFeed's commitment to constantly evolve our strategy and to create new opportunities for affiliate partners to work with BuzzFeed.
Richa: What types of content work particularly well for increasing affiliate-ad effectiveness and why do you think that is?
Nilla: Ultimately the success of affiliate is rooted in surfacing the best products and effectively showcasing why a particular product is worth purchasing. The formula that we have found to be effective is:
Featuring products with strong user reviews
Highlighting reviews that demonstrate why the product is a good fit for specific identities or needs
Sourcing the product from retailers who offer the most competitive price and most cost-efficient shipping options
Offering an exclusive incentive
Creating a frictionless opportunity to purchase the product or to learn more
Of course, these methods work best if the publisher understands its audience and the audience trusts the publisher. This two-way dynamic is essential, and at BuzzFeed, we've cultivated a strong relationship with our audience in order to optimize our affiliate work.
Richa: Can you share traffic metrics such as increases in visitors or time spent on your site, and insights about how partnerships have been affecting these figures and the quality of your audience?
Nilla: BuzzFeed reaches hundreds of millions of people globally, and our main objective is to continue creating relevant and engaging content that services our loyal audience. Our audience continuously returns to our site and spends lots of time consuming BuzzFeed content – on average our audience spends 2.4x more time with BuzzFeed content on site and on Facebook per month than top tagged entities in Nielsen's Digital Content Ratings.
By focusing on partnerships that align closely with our audiences' affinities, BuzzFeed is able to scale a sustainable business that drives value for both our partners and audience, while continuing to unlock more content that strengthens our onsite performance metrics.
Richa: How does the affiliate strategy fit in within your broader ecommerce strategy? What kind of changes have you observed in the past couple years? What do you think space will look like for a publisher like BuzzFeed in 3-5 years?
Nilla: Affiliate is complementary to BuzzFeed's overall e-commerce strategy as it enables BuzzFeed to be agile, and to test and learn the most effective tactics for driving conversion. Consumers continue to rapidly evolve their shopping habits, and each platform requires a bespoke strategy in order to efficiently and effectively drive conversion. Through the affiliate channel, there is no limitation to testing new categories, products and brands, which allows BuzzFeed to develop an ecommerce strategy rooted in data. The key to a successful ecommerce business is understanding your audience's behavior and affinities, and affiliate enables BuzzFeed to gather that data at scale.
BuzzFeed has always been ahead of the curve when optimizing for new formats and trends. With this spirit of innovation, in the next 3-5 years BuzzFeed will continue to create new channels for audiences to discover new brands and products that best fit their needs.
Since consumers will continue to rely heavily on content when starting their shopping journey, I believe content publishers can play a big role in rapidly increasing the value and utility of ecommerce for consumers. For example, publishers will help consumers save time by curating the highest quality products at the best price. A publisher's main job is servicing their audiences, and through our affiliate strategy, BuzzFeed is able to carry out that mission by connecting consumers to the best products and services.

Josie and Pete are discussing the hens'night Josie has to plan for her friend Mandy.
Pete: So, have you decided what you're going to do for Mandy's hen's night yet?
Josie: No, I wouldn't have a clue what to do.
Pete: Isn't it next week though? You'd better get your A into G and get something planned!
Josie: It's just that I find the whole idea of a hens' night a bit silly. I don't want it to degenerate into something crass.
Pete: It doesn't have to. Just keep it simple. Why don't you talk to my sister? She organised a hens' night last month for one of her workmates. She said it went really well.
Josie: What did she do?
Pete: Well, she didn't go into much detail but I think she just booked one of the little bistros downtown and had a night of good food and wine, then she booked a little bach on the lake with a Jacuzzi and sauna and they hung out there for the night.
Josie: That sounds like fun! Thanks Pete! I think I'll give your sister a call!
have you decided what you're doing for Mandy's hen's night yet?
ex: My friends held a hen's night for me the day before my wedding.
ex: Does anyone have a clue what this is?
You'd better get you A into G and get something planned!
ex: You'd better get your A into G if you want to be on time.
ex: To convey a message properly a writer should go into detail and thoroughly analyze the situation.

boost/python/tuple.hpp

Introduction

Class
        tuple

Function
        make_tuple

Example

Introduction

          Exposes a TypeWrapper
          for the Python http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/node7.html#SECTION007300000000000000000%60tuple%60
          type.

Class
        tuple

          Exposes the interface of Python's built-in tuple type. The semantics of
          the constructors and member functions defined below can be fully understood
          by reading the TypeWrapper
          concept definition. Since tuple is publicly derived from object, the public object interface applies to tuple instances as well.

namespace boost { namespace python
{
   class tuple : public object
   {
      // tuple() -> an empty tuple
      tuple();

      // tuple(sequence) -> tuple initialized from sequence's items
      template <class T>
      explicit tuple(T const& sequence)
  };
}}

Function
        make_tuple

namespace boost { namespace python
{
  tuple make_tuple();

  template <class A0>
  tuple make_tuple(A0 const& a0);

  template <class A0, class A1>
  tuple make_tuple(A0 const& a0, A1 const& a1);
  ...
  template <class A0, class A1,...class An>
  tuple make_tuple(A0 const& a0, A1 const& a1,...An const& an);
}}

Effect

                Constructs a new tuple object composed of object(a0), object(a0),...object(an).

Example

using namespace boost::python;
tuple head_and_tail(object sequence)
{
    return make_tuple(sequence[0],sequence[-1]);
}

Security blanket for Obama - United States, Jamaican law-enforcement agencies working out details
Published:Thursday | March 19, 2015 | 12:00 AMGlenroy Sinclair
A massive security blanket coordinated by local and American law-enforcement officials will cover United States President Barack Obama during his visit to the island next month.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Danny Graham, of the Protective Services Division, told The Sunday Gleaner that local law-enforcement officials are having meetings with US Secret Service agents in preparation for the visit.
Planning going very well
With details of the visit still being worked out, Graham, who is regarded as one of the country's top intelligence officers and who is well experienced in close protection and conference security, indicated that he was unable to say how long Obama will be in the island.
"The planning which involves the US Secret Service, the JCF (Jamaica Constabulary Force) and the Jamaica Defence Force has been going very well. We have been looking at a number of things, but as a country, we are prepared for this," said Graham.
According to Graham, this could be one of the most challenging assignments for the country's security forces.
"But Jamaica has the capacity to collaborate with the Secret Service to provide adequate security for the US president," added Graham, who served as the staff officer for former Police Commissioner Lucius Thomas.
Schedule not finalised
Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller announced Obama's visit to the island during an address to the House of Representatives last Tuesday.
Counselor for Public Affairs at the US Embassy in Kingston, Joshua Polacheck, has since indicated that while the schedule for the visit has not been finalised, it has already been determined that Obama will have talks with Simpson Miller, a meeting with CARICOM leaders and a youth forum.
According to Polacheck, a team from Washington was in the island last Tuesday as part of the planning for the visit.
Obama and the CARICOM Heads of Government are expected to leave Jamaica for Panama where they will participate in the Sixth Summit of the Americas.

An architect of what has become known as the Minneapolis Sound, BrownMark masterminded the funk collective Mazarati, enjoyed a solo career at Motown records, and currently tours with a reconstituted Revolution. His latest album, House Party, updates the Minneapolis Sound for the age of hip hop. His memoir about coming of age with Prince and the Revolution will be published by the University of Minnesota press in September. Here are five books that the musician finds inspiring.

Q: Filtering through images in a pictureBox? unfortunately I don't have have enough +reputation to post an image of my windows form but i'll try to explain.
I have a pictureBox with 8 imported image to the project resources file and two buttons that i want to use to cycle back and forth through the 8 images, one button called "next" and the other button called "previous". I have seen multiple videos online explaining how to press a button and display an image allocated to that button, but can't seem to find any help with using a button to cycle through the images that have been imported for use with the pictureBox
I hope my question is clear and i look forward to reading your advice, thank you in advance!

A: You could use ImageList and set a Int variable under your form as Index to loop through. And your button action would be changing index and update pictureBox image.

Ottawa is moving forward with its new tap-and-go smart transit card fare system for OC Transpo, according to the Ottawa Citizen. Following numerous delays and technical hiccups, transit officials say the PRESTO card system is now operating at 99% efficiency.
As many as 10,000 Presto cards are to be distributed to students at Carleton University, the University of Ottawa, and Saint Paul University. Other "targeted distributions" will soon follow, with a general release of the cards available at OC Transpo counters and online at prestocard.ca.
The general public will be able to obtain their new PRESTO card for free online at prestocard.ca on May 18. The card will then be available in various locations across the city, including some libraries, on May 27. The first 200,000 to apply receive their cards for free; and $6 for each applied for after that.
Still some minor problems remain including hard-to-read bus-mounted screens which can be hard for the users to read, and it's not clear when some features the city's been promised, like self-serve kiosks for putting money on the cards and letting users just tap regular credit cards to pay for transit rides, will work. Those will take a software upgrade that Ottawa will get eventually.
The system is anticipated to be fully operational by June 1.


We believe that it is important to have a mission – however in order to have a mission, you must have a purpose. Our purpose as choral musicians is to strive for excellence in the art of music, reach new heights of discipline in rehearsal and personal life and to develop our character as we journey through our years together.
The students who have been a part of the Hilliard Darby Choral program have long understood what it takes to build a superior program. The current members are only visitors of a long standing reputation.
Students will care for each other, maintain and develop strong skills and personal dedication to the pursuit of excellence. Above all, bring out the beauty of the music that is composed and communicate through our hearts to those that hear us.

Fnatic is entering ESL One New York with a new 'Counter-Strike' line up
Fnatic has three new players and a new coach going into the tournament.

Fnatic is the sixth team invited to ESL One New York, joining SK Gaming, G2 Esports, Team Liquid, Virtus.pro and Natus Vincere in the lineup for the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament the first weekend of October.
SEE ALSO: Best 'Counter-Strike' plays of the ELeague semifinals: Fnatic vs. Na'Vi
Eight teams will be competing in the two-day, $250,000 tournament at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and Fnatic is one of a few teams going into the tournament with a new lineup.
Fnatic signed Godsent players Wenton, Lekr0 and Twist
Fnatic traded three of its players -- JW, Krimz and Flusha -- to fellow Swedish team Godsent right before Godsent's ESL Pro League wildcard match against Virtus.pro. In exchange, Fnatic signed Godsent players Wenton, Lekr0 and Twist. Wenton has competed with Fnatic in several major tournaments in 2016 as a stand-in.
Shortly after announcing the three new players competing alongside Olofmeister and Dennis, Fnatic announced that it signed a new coach, Jumpy. Jumpy is a long-time player with experience coaching two teams in 2016.
Fnatic has some time to work out the kinks in their new lineup before ESL One New York. Their first games together were Tuesday in the ESL Pro League, where they defeated Mousesports in two close games. Fnatic will face fellow ESL One team G2 on Thursday at 1 p.m. ET.
Fnatic has done pretty well in the last year, most recently taking second place at ELeague, losing to Virtus.pro in the finals. But with new lineups, anything can happen. Na'Vi will be coming to the tournament with a new face on its roster, S1mple, one of the top players in the world, making them one of the toughest teams in the tournament as long as S1mple gels well with the team.
Two spots are still open for teams in the tournament, and ESL has not released any details about which teams will be invited or when they will be announced.
ESL One New York is happening in Brooklyn on Oct. 1 and 2 and will be broadcast live on Twitch.

About Haxby
Haxby is a town and civil parish in the unitary authority of City of York, on the River Foss, five miles (8 km) north of York and south of Strensall, in North Yorkshire, England. Haxby is bordered on the east by the River Foss, and to the west by the village of Wigginton, whose expansion has caused the two settlements to form a continuous urban environment. To the south is the garden village of New Earswick and the York Outer Ring Road (A1237) with the open farmland to the north as far as the villages of Sutton-on-the-Forest and Strensall.
According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 8,754, reducing to 8,428 at the 2011 Census.
The town was historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire until 1974. It was then a part of the district of Ryedale in North Yorkshire from 1974 until 1996. Since 1996 it has been part of the City of York unitary authority. The centre of the town was made a Conservation Area by the local council in 1976.
"Haxby" is a Norse place-name and translates as "Farmstead or village of a man called Hákr". It is formed from a Norse personal name and the Old Scandinavian word bý, meaning "farmstead, village or settlement". Haxby was recorded as Haxebi in the Domesday Book of 1086. The town is primarily a dormitory for commuters to nearby towns and cities, though local service industries provide employment opportunities.

Refugee Army Invades Europe! Who Is Responsible?
This heartrending image impelled the conscience of humanity -"Humanity Washed Ashore [Dead]" just as did the photo of little Vietnamese Girls Napalmed by US Armed Forces some 43 years ago.
It did help then galvanise US public opinion against the unjust war on Vietnam. Would this image do the same for MiddleEast and North Africa where USA's supposed "war on Terror" has ravaged Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen? One country after another has been destabilised, hundreds of thousands killed, millions made homeless and refugees, economies have been wrecked; and most virulent terrorists groups have been armed and let lose on hapless populations. Unlikely it seems, if this commentary on Fox News -the foremost Western MSM drumbeat of Establishment- still carries credulity with US citizenry: "Russia and China Plotted Migrant Invasion of Europe".
Then There is a German commoner who couldn't take the plethora of lies fed on the airwaves by the MSM.
Finally, it's our duty to know the truth and to be not misled by propaganda.

John Kerry Honours Victims of Rwanda's 'Horrendous Tragedy'
by KT Press Staff Writer October 14, 2016
written by KT Press Staff Writer October 14, 2016
US Secretary of State John Kerry (c)
The US secretary of state John Kerry this evening laid a wreath of flowers at Kigali Genocide memorial and bowed down for a minute moment of silence in a tribute to genocide victims.
Kerry was given a guided tour at the memorial and scribbled in the guestbook saying the memorial was "A beautiful final resting place created out of a horrendous tragedy. Thank you for your work in prevention and healing."
The memorial is a final resting place for 250,000 people buried on this site. During the 1994 genocide against Tutsi, over a million lives were lost.
After honouring to genocide victims, Kerry met President Paul Kagame at village Urugwiro.
The United States provides significant aid to Rwanda especially to boost access to basic health services, expanding economic opportunities in rural areas, renewable energy, and the military.
United States Was Rwanda's Top Investor in 2014-Symbion Power and Rwaza Hydropower Ltd both American energy investment firms, injected a total $174.2m accounting for more than 60% of Rwanda's total Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) registered that year.
U.S. Secretary of State Kerry arrived in Rwanda's Capital Kigali on Thursday for talks on a global pact to cut greenhouse gases-under the Parties to the Montreal Protocol.
"In Kigali for meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol. Need to phase down hydrofluorocarbons HFCs – potent greenhouse gases that drive climate change," Kerry said Thursday.
Climate change scientists say hydrofluorocarbons have become popular substitutes for ozone depleting substances, but while they are far better for the ozone layer – they are also potent greenhouse gases, which means they contribute to global climate change.
The negotiations in Kigali sought to reach global agreement on an ambitious amendment to the Montreal Protocol to phase down the production and consumption of the hydroflourocarbons.

Tiredness, bags under the eyes, redness, swollen eyes, dilated pores, etc. before having time to recover, facial skin has to be ready for another occasion.
Germaine de Capuccini reformulates its immediate beauty ampoule FLASH LIFT to minimise as much as possible the frequent signs of fatigue, providing the skin with a fast, intense, lasting and natural lifting effect.
• High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid to prevent the loss of water and recover hydration and thus compensate the sensation of lack of comfort and tightness typical of tightening polymers.
• Pro-Liftine biopolymer achieved based on natural ingredients that achieves a tautening, fast, intense and very lasting lifting effect.

1930s & EarlierLast Passenger Pigeon 1914
The decline and extinction of the passenger pigeon is one of the saddest chapters in natural history. When Europeans first arrived in North America passenger pigeons thrived in the billions. In 1800 they were so plentiful that a pair could be bought for just two cents. They lived in enormous flocks that sometimes overspread 300 square miles. However, by the mid-1800s, loss of habitat and the demand for a cheap source of meat doomed the passenger pigeon to extinction. The last accepted wild passenger pigeon was spotted in 1900. The last passenger pigeon in captivity, a female named Martha, died in the Cincinnati Zoo on September 1, 1914.

1930s & EarlierHindenburg Disaster 1937
It was the largest airship ever built; over eight-hundred feet long from its nose to its massive tail fins. It was the height of luxury travel and carried over 2,656 people across the Atlantic from Germany to New York and Rio de Janeiro. It was the Hindenburg. In the space of 37 seconds the mighty zeppelin was destroyed in a fire that killed a third of its crew and passengers and left spectators crying in horror.

1930s & EarlierSinking Of RMS Lusitania 1915
The RMS Lusitania was a British passenger liner that was torpedoed in the First World War by the German submarine U-20 off the coast of Ireland on May 7, 1915. It sank in just 18 minutes. A total of 1,198 of 1,959 passengers perished, including 128 of the 197 Americans on board. Despite the large number of American casualties, U.S. president Woodrow Wilson only issued a formal complaint to the German government. He was heavily criticized in the British press for not declaring war. For years the British government insisted the Lusitania contained no war material, but a dive in 2006 found stores of ammunition. (Thus it was a legitimate war target for German submarines.) There is only one remaining Lusitania survivor, a 93-year-old Englishwoman, who was just three months old when the ship was sunk. The last American survivor died on April 12, 2008.

1930s & EarlierEmpress Of Ireland Tragedy 1914
An almost forgotten maritime tragedy is the sinking of The Empress of Ireland, a trans-Atlantic ocean liner owned by the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company. At about 2 a.m. on May 29, 1914, during one of its regular voyages from Quebec City to Liverpool, it collided with the Norwegian ship Storstad in the cold waters of the St. Lawrence River. Out of the 1,477 passengers aboard, 1,012 perished. The high death toll was largely attributable to how quickly the ship sank (14 minutes) and that most of the passengers were in bed when the accident occurred. Among the dead were 167 Salvation Army musicians who were travelling to England to perform at a charity function. A Canadian inquiry into the disaster blamed the Storstad for the collision while a Norwegian inquiry blamed the Empress of Ireland. For years the Empress of Ireland was visited by scuba divers who plundered some of its valuables. However, it is now illegal to dive near the wreck as the Canadian government has declared it a maritime gravesite. (There are human remains inside the ship.) There are no living survivors from that awful night. The last one died in 1985.

1930s & Earlier1915 Scottish Railroad Disaster
The worst railroad disaster in history occurred on May 22, 1915 near Gretna Green, Dumfriesshire, Scotland. It is commonly known as the Quintinshill Disaster, having been named for the location of a nearby intermediate signal box with passing loops on each side on the Caledonian Railway Main Line linking Glasgow and Carlisle. The crash, which involved five trains, killed a probable 226 people and injured 246 others. Those killed were mainly territorial soldiers from the Royal Scots heading for the Gallipoli front in the First World War. The precise number of dead was never established with certainty as the roll list of the regiment was destroyed by the fire. The crash occurred when a troop train travelling from Larbert, Stirlingshire to Liverpool, Lancashire collided with a local passenger train that had been shunted on to the main line, to then be hit by an express train to Glasgow which crashed into the wreckage a minute later. Gas from the lighting system of the old wooden carriages of the troop train ignited, starting a fire which soon engulfed the three passenger trains and also two goods trains standing on nearby passing loops. A number of bodies were never recovered, having been wholly consumed by the fire. The bodies that were recovered were buried together in a mass grave in Edinburgh's Rosebank Cemetery. Such was the scope of the disaster that many of the rescuers wrongly assumed the trains had been targets of German saboteurs. Four bodies, believed to be of children, were never identified or claimed and are buried in the Western Necropolis, Glasgow. The cause of the accident was poor working practices on the part of the two signalmen involved. It was discovered that the two men often colluded to falsify their records of when they relieved each other, routinely did not follow regulations properly, and engaged in other unsafe practices. The results of the official inquiry into the disaster led to their imprisonment for culpable homicide after legal proceedings in both Scotland and England. A memorial to the dead soldiers was erected soon after the accident. There are a number of more recent memorials at various locations. An annual remembrance service is held at Rosebank Cemetery.

1930s & EarlierDouble Life Of Arthur Irwin
Toronto's Arthur Irwin was the man who invented the baseball gove. In 1884, while playing with the National League's Providence Grays, Irwin broke two fingers on his catching hand. In order to keep playing, he wore a carriage driver's glove filled with cotton. At first Irwin was derided as a sissy, but within a decade almost all major leaguers were wearing gloves in the field. However, Irwin is most famous for the double life he led as a bigamist--one that only became known after he died. On July 16, 1921, Irwin was aboard a New York to Bston ship, the Calvin Murphy. He told a fellow passenger he was going home to Boston to die. The next morning, Irwin was nowhere to be found. It was surmised that he either jumped or fell overboard. Irwin left behind a grieving wife and family in Boston--and a grieving wife and family in New York City! Neither family had any inkling of the other's existence. Irwin's body was never found, leading to speculation that he had faked his death. For years there were rumors he was living in rural Georgia under an assumed name. Irwin's sister answered the accusations by saying, 'With Arthur, you never know.'

Q: Unit tests for django form submission It's easy to test form cleaning by instantiating a form object against a known-good or known-bad dictionary.  The associated view logic can be tested by taking these same dicts and using the test client.
However, we're still left with the basic problem of the actual HTML form element.  What if I used the wrong method?  Or I have a typo in the action?  Or I forgot the CSRF_Token?  How can I write unit tests that actually test the behavior that the user is likely to experience?
Do I really need to use mechanize?
Or are people parsing the form element by using .get(url) and looking at the html content of the response?  Is there a cleaner way to do this?

A: This does not only relate to Django HTML testing but to any other application where you need to test HTML behavior.
You can use libraries such as requests to test the forms from the browser perspective using different method (GET/POST/etc).
For more user interaction test, you can use Selenium however I personally like Splinter better. In splinter you instantiate this thing called a browser which you can use as a real browser. Then within the browser you can fill text-boxes, hit buttons, etc. and then test the behavior.
Here is a code snippet from splinter web site:
 from splinter.browser import Browser
 browser = Browser()
 # Visit URL
 url = "http://www.google.com"
 browser.visit(url)
 browser.fill('q', "#cobrateam")
 # Find and click the 'search' button
 button = browser.find_by_css(".lsb")
 # Interact with elements
 button.click()
 if browser.is_text_present("did not match any documents"):
     print "nobody likes us =("
 else:
     print "we're popular =)"

In there the browser will open, will navigate to google, fill in the q field, click the search button, and then test search results. As you can see the library is very simple to use and you can do quite sophisticated testing with it.

A: This can be handled with the LiveServerTestCase which was added in Django 1.4.

Follow President Donald Trump as he shapes America's future
Justice Department asks Seattle judge to defer action on Trump travel ban
Feb 13th 2017 4:11PM
Feb 13 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department said on Monday a U.S. appeals court should fully review the suspension of President Donald Trump's temporary travel ban from seven-Muslim majority countries before any more proceedings take place before a Seattle federal judge.
Trump's order, which he called a national security measure meant to head off attacks by Islamist militants, barred people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering for 90 days and all refugees for 120 days, except refugees from Syria, who were banned indefinitely.

U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle suspended Trump's order after its legality was challenged by Washington state, eliciting a barrage of angry Twitter messages from Trump against the judge and the court system. That ruling was upheld by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco last week, raising questions about Trump's next step.
Following the 9th Circuit's decision, Trump announced the possibility of a "brand new order" that could be issued as soon as this week. Trump gave no details of any new ban he is considering.
He might rewrite the original order to explicitly exclude green card holders, or permanent residents, a congressional aide familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters last week.

The Justice Department, in a court filing on Monday, did not discuss the possibility of a new executive order. It said, however, that Robart should hold off from further action for now given activity at the appeals court.
An unidentified judge on the 9th Circuit on Friday requested that the court's 25 full-time judges vote on whether the temporary block of Trump's travel ban should be reheard before an 11-judge panel, known as en banc review. The 9th Circuit asked both sides to file briefs by Thursday.
The Justice Department did not say on Monday what position it would take on the 9th Circuit's en banc decision, or whether it would ultimately appeal the suspension to the Supreme Court.
But it said the outcome of the 9th Circuit's process "will likely inform" what additional proceedings are necessary in Seattle.
In a separate court filing on Monday, Washington's attorney general said a Seattle judge should immediately allow discovery into the merits of its case.
Robart has scheduled a hearing to take place on the issue later on Monday. (Reporting by Dan Levine in San Francisco; Editing by Sandra Maler and Peter Cooney)

Q: Python `bin` negative integers I tried to repeat Brandon Rhodes' Pycon2010 talk The mighty dictionary and on noticed I couldn't use the bin built-in of python to calculate the least significant bits of a hash:
>>> bin(hash("ftp"))[-3:]
'111'

Which according to the talk should be 001.
After a bit of digging I found that I had to use this custom bits function like Brandon:
>>> def bits(integer):
       return "".join(str(x) for x in [1&(integer>>i) for i in range(32)[::-1]])

>>> bits(hash("ftp"))[-3:]
'001'

Apparently because the bin built-in returns bits as binary strings with a sign:
>>> bits(-100)
'11111111111111111111111110011100'  # two-complement representation preceded by 1s
>>> bin(-100)
'-0b1100100'  # signed magnitude representation

Why is this so? Is there a particular reason for not returning the two-complement representation of a negative integer in python?

A: In Python integers have arbitrary precision and they don't have a fixed size: a 2-complement representation of -1 would require an infinite sequence of 1s.

Q: asp.net membership sitecore I'm migrating a ASP.NET website to Sitecore 7.  I have a login page for external users to login to my website.  I'm trying to access an external aspnetdb to do this authentication.  I have followed what is in this post:
Sitecore authenticate users against external membership database
When I try and call the GetUser method I get a null value.  Furthermore, when I go to my User Manager I don't see any of my users located in the aspnetdb.
My configuration is outlined below:
I added a connection string to my ConnectionsStrings.config:
  <add name="test" connectionString="user id=***;password=***;Data Source=localhost;Database=aspnetdb"/>

In my web.config I added membership and role provider definitions:
<membership defaultProvider="sitecore" hashAlgorithmType="SHA1">
  <providers>
    <clear/>
    <add name="sitecore" type="Sitecore.Security.SitecoreMembershipProvider, Sitecore.Kernel" realProviderName="switcher" providerWildcard="%" raiseEvents="true"/>
    <add name="sql" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="core" applicationName="sitecore" minRequiredPasswordLength="1" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="256"/>
    <add name="switcher" type="Sitecore.Security.SwitchingMembershipProvider, Sitecore.Kernel" applicationName="sitecore" mappings="switchingProviders/membership"/>
    <add name="testProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="test" applicationName="sitecore" minRequiredPasswordLength="1" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="256"/>
  </providers>
</membership>
<roleManager defaultProvider="sitecore" enabled="true">
  <providers>
    <clear/>
    <add name="sitecore" type="Sitecore.Security.SitecoreRoleProvider, Sitecore.Kernel" realProviderName="switcher" raiseEvents="true"/>
    <add name="sql" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" connectionStringName="core" applicationName="sitecore"/>
    <add name="switcher" type="Sitecore.Security.SwitchingRoleProvider, Sitecore.Kernel" applicationName="sitecore" mappings="switchingProviders/roleManager"/>
    <add name="testProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" connectionStringName="test" applicationName="sitecore"/>
  </providers>
</roleManager>

Then I added my domain switcher mappings:
<switchingProviders>
      <membership>
        <provider providerName="sql" storeFullNames="true" wildcard="%" domains="*"/>
        <provider providerName="testProvider" storeFullNames="false" wildcard="%" domains="extranet"/>
      </membership>
      <roleManager>
        <provider providerName="sql" storeFullNames="true" wildcard="%" domains="*"/>
         <provider providerName="testProvider" storeFullNames="false" wildcard="%" domains="extranet"/>

      </roleManager>
      <profile>
        <provider providerName="sql" storeFullNames="true" wildcard="%" domains="*"/>
      </profile>
    </switchingProviders>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

A: In your membership and roleprovider definitions you need to change the defaultProvider to switcher. This means that when Sitecore is trying to identify which provider to use, it will use the configuration in your switchingproviders.
Also I think you should change the order of your switchingproviders so that the "extranet" is higher then your catch all "*".
Edit this configuration works on my environment:
<membership defaultProvider="switcher" hashAlgorithmType="SHA1">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="Extranet" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="Extranet" applicationName="sitecore" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" minRequiredPasswordLength="1" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"/>
        <add name="sitecore" type="Sitecore.Security.SitecoreMembershipProvider, Sitecore.Kernel" realProviderName="sql" providerWildcard="%" raiseEvents="true" />
        <add name="sql" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="core" applicationName="sitecore" minRequiredPasswordLength="1" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="256" />
        <add name="switcher" type="Sitecore.Security.SwitchingMembershipProvider, Sitecore.Kernel" applicationName="sitecore" mappings="switchingProviders/membership" />
      </providers>
    </membership>

And for the switchingProvider:
<switchingProviders>
      <membership>
        <provider providerName="Extranet" storeFullNames="false" wildcard="%" domains="extranet" />
        <provider providerName="sql" storeFullNames="true" wildcard="%" domains="*" />
      </membership>

If you get Extranet\Anonymous back and this user isn't in your custom database you are actually using the standard Sitecore database. Make sure that the defaultProvider is set to "switcher" and that you have your provider in the swithcing provider first and that it mentions extranet.
Also make sure, that your provider set "storeFullNames" correctly. If your database doesn't contain the domain (eg. extranet\myUser) then it should be set to false.


Epigonus of Ambracia (Greek: Ἐπίγονος Ἀμβρακιώτης; fl. 6th century BC) was a Greek musician from Ambracia in South Epirus, who was admitted to a citizenship at Sicyon, where he lived, performed and taught. The Epigonion (string instrument) was invented, or at least introduced in Greece by Epigonus. He was a contemporary of Lasus of Hermione.

Use your child's yearly check-up or school physicals to create or revise an Asthma Action Plan. This is an excellent time to assess asthma control, adjust medicines as necessary, and get prescriptions for back-up medications. The beginning of the school year is also an important time to share not only the updated Asthma Action Plan, but to also ensure the school nurse, coaches, after-school program staff and other individuals helping with the child's care know how to avoid asthma triggers and what to do in case of an emergency.
For more information, and to download your own copy of the American Lung Association's "Back To School Checklist" visit Lung.org/back-to-school. The American Lung Association also offers a number of video tutorialsdemonstrating proper use of asthma medicines, peak flow meters and resources for breathing and managing asthma symptoms.
For media interested in speaking with an asthma expert about managing asthma symptoms during the summer break and when heading back to school, contact Allison MacMunn at the American Lung Association at Media@Lung.org or 312-801-7628.
