Q: debian lenny xen bridge networking problem DomU isn't talking to the world, but it talks to Dom0.
Here are the tests that I made:
Dom0 (external networking is working):
ping 188.40.96.238 #Which is Domu's ip

PING 188.40.96.238 (188.40.96.238) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 188.40.96.238: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.092 ms

DomU:
ping 188.40.96.215 #Which is Dom0's ip

PING 188.40.96.215 (188.40.96.215) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 188.40.96.215: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.045 ms

ping 188.40.96.193 #Which is the gateway - fail
PING 188.40.96.193 (188.40.96.193) 56(84) bytes of data.

A: the default bridge script does a lot of weird things to make the eth0/peth0 devices.. I have much better luck setting it up in /etc/network/interfaces as
# The primary network interface
auto xen-br0
iface xen-br0 inet static
        address 10.2.2.44
        gateway 10.2.2.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        bridge_ports eth0
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0

and then in xend-config.sxp:
(vif-script vif-bridge bridge=xen-br0)

that way debian sets up the bridge and xen leaves it alone.
Do you have access to the routers and switches?  Can you run, or have someone else run:
show ip arp 188.40.96.238
show mac-address-table address 0016.3E1F.C4CC

(or whatever commands are appropriate for the devices you have)
That would confirm if your domU is even visible to the rest of the network.

A: Make sure the switch the dom0 machine is connected to allow multiple MAC addresses per port. I had configured a cisco switch with each port set to "Desktop". This enabled PortFast but also disabled multiple MAC addresses on the port. All packets from the domU VM were silently dropped. Switching the port setting back to "None" inside the switch resolved this problem.

A: When the DomU can talk to the dom0 but not the outside world, while the dom0 can over the same bridge, then it's most likely that you've got a firewall on the dom0 that is catching the domU packets.
Given that I treat the bridge as a switch "on the network", and not something inside the sphere of control of the dom0, I just turn off the dom0's practice of running packets from the bridge through the dom0's firewall:
sysctl {
    "net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables": value => "0";
    "net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables": value => "0";
    "net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables": value => "0";
    "net.bridge.bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged": value => "0";
}

Next I adhered this panel to a blue top folding card base and cut out a circle through both layers.
I used a MFT die to cut out the conversation bubble around my own heart felt sentiment that I typed on the computer!
Here's the inside with the puppy positioned to peek out of the hole on the front.
Brr...still cold. I think I'll go back to making spring time cards!
This is so super cute! I love that the puppy is on the inside! Thanks so much for playing along with us over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

Forget Paris – Cindric is happy in Kielce
Stregspiller October 15, 2018 Peter Bruun's Corner, News Leave a Comment
INTERVIEW – Allegedly, PSG had offered EURO 4.0 Mio. to retain the services of Luka Cindric in the summer, but this piece of information doesn't upset Kielce´s Croatian playmaker. Neither can all the speculation about Kielce's financial problems, as he claims in this exclusive interview with stregspiller.com.
This past Sunday, he was bad news for his former club, Vardar Skopje.
A stellar performance as playmaker and eight goals of his own say it all – Luka Cindric played an outstanding part in PGE Vive Kielce´s 31:27 win at home against HC Vardar Skopje, in Group A of the Champions League. At the same time, it was Vardar´s first defeat this season.
Cindric did not feel bad at all, coming down hard on his former teammates in a dramatic match that saw red cards for Vuko Borozan (Vardar) as well as Alex Dujshebaev (Kielce).
"Of course, playing against my former club was special, but also very motivating. I had three great years in Vardar, including winning the Champions League and I still have many good friends there," he explains.
He also admits that it wasn't easy for him to leave Vardar before this season.
"It was a tough decision for me, but I came to realize that I needed something new and the challenge in Kielce attracted me.
"The change hasn't been so big for me, however. It's a different language and a different town, but apart from that, almost everything here is the same what I was used to in Skopje.
"Even the system we play here is more or less the same, and to me there is no better thing than a system similar to the one in Vardar," he finds.
Unaffected by rumors and financial turbulence
According to several media outlets, he was close to not playing for Kielce at all. Rumors had it that Paris Saint-Germain Handball were willing to pay a transfer fee of no less than EURO 4.0 Mio. to buy the 25-year-old playmaker out of his contract with the Polish champions.
Yet, such reports do not upset Luka Cindric and he still appears to have a very relaxed reaction to all of it.
"Now, I am Kielce and I am focused on the work ahead – I am happy to be here. I did not comment on the situation back then, and I still won't do it today," he says.
He also remains unaffected by some other news that made headlines – reports that spell financial trouble in Kielce.
"Everybody has been talking about it, but to me the most important thing is to perform on the court. Others will have to take care of the things I can't influence," is all he wants to say about this topic.
Young team with potential
What he does want to talk about is his new team and it´s potential.
After Sunday's win against Vardar, Kielce are sitting on eight points after five matches, just as many as the other two top teams – Barcelona and Vardar – have.
Following their narrow 29:27 loss in the opening round in Veszprém, it has been four straight wins for Cindric and his new teammates. Still, there is much room for improvement, he believes.
"We have a team with many young players and lots of potential, but also with plenty of room for progress.
"I am happy with our achievements this season so far – of course, but I think we can still be better," says Luka Cindric who hopes his team can improve to the point that another FINAL4 appearance will become reality.
"As I have mentioned already, we have a young team, but our goal for this Champions League season definitely is to go all the way to the FINAL4, in Cologne.
"And I hope we will succeed," says a confident Luka Cindric.

Q: Dropbox API request pattern I am using the Dropbox SDK on iOS, and am mirroring a remote directory locally. I understand the basic usage pattern - make a request, wait for the delegate to be called with the results.
When I have a large number of requests to perform, should I serialize them by waiting for the result before making the next call, or make all requests at once and then just wait for them each to come in? Does the Dropbox SDK handle the latter case intelligently (e.g. with an NSOperationQueue), or am I better off doing this myself?
If I am better off handling request queuing myself, should I change behavior when the user is on a wifi vs. cellular connection?
EDIT: I have seen CHBgDropboxSync and other existing solutions. My app requires more control over syncing than these provide, so I need to roll my own.

A: Depends on how many requests you need to make and how reliant they are on each other. With either GCD or NSOperation you can daisy-chain requests, you can issue them all at once and keep semaphores in your program, or you can make requests rely on others to complete. You're creating an asynchronous state machine, and its design will depend on whether that state machine is dynamic or static.

Q: Streamreader only return "System.IO.StreamReader" I want text from a .text file into a listbox.
When I try to paste a .text file in to a listbox with the StreamReader, the StreamReader don't give me the text what is inside of the file. It gives me System.IO.StreamReader (10 times) back as result. So:
System.IO.StreamReader
System.IO.StreamReader
System.IO.StreamReader

But in the .text file I have this:
booking 1
booking 2
booking 3
booking 4
booking 5
booking 6
booking 7
booking 8
booking 9
booking 10

This is my code:
int count = 0;
string line;
System.IO.StreamReader file = new StreamReader(@"D:\school\periode 2\software\week6\BookingSystem\BookingSystem\booking.txt");
while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
{
    lbCurrentBookings.Items.Add(file);
    count++;
}

A: lbCurrentBookings.Items.Add(file);

should be
lbCurrentBookings.Items.Add(line);

As commented by Flydog57 below:
When you see a string containing a class name like that, it nearly always means that you used a instance of that class as if it was a string. Many APIs can take either a string or an object. In the latter case, they call ToString() on the object. The default object.ToString() returns the class name. So, when you passed in the file variable, the ListBox code used the Add(object someObject) overload and just called ToString on what was passed


Frameable Template Collage! – It Works For Bobbi!

Q: Can a wizard Accio (Summoning Charm) the Elder Wand? Can a wizard use Accio (the Summoning Charm) on the Elder Wand?
In the Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them film, we see Tina Goldstein summon the wand of Graves

(who is actually Grindelwald in disguise)

from him after Newt immobilizes him? Can the same be done to the Elder Wand?

A: It's unclear if Accio would work on the Elder Wand.
Accio did work on at least some wands - Hermione used it to summon Harry's wand when he'd lost it.

"Accio wand!' cried Hermione. Harry's wand flew from a dark corner into her hand and she threw it to him." - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 35 (Beyond the Veil)

However, items can be enchanted to prevent Accio from working on them.

"Oh, it could still be here, but under counter-enchantments,' said Hermione. 'Charms to prevent it being summoned magically, you know." - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 10 (Kreacher's Tale)

The Invisibility Cloak was immune to Accio, so it is possible that the Elder Wand, another one of the Hallows, may be as well.

"'Accio Cloak!' roared one of the Death Eaters.
Harry seized its folds, but it made no attempt to escape: the Summoning Charm had not worked on it." - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 28 (The Missing Mirror)

Without a confirmed example of the Elder Wand either being successfully Summoned or failing to be Summoned, it's impossible to say for sure whether Accio would work on it.
We do know the Elder Wand can be removed by Expelliarmus.
The Elder Wand certainly isn't immune to all spells that would move it from its master. Draco successfully used Expelliarmus to disarm Dumbledore before failing to kill him like he'd been ordered to do.

"The door burst open and somebody erupted through it and shouted: 'Expelliarmus!'
Harry's body became instantly rigid and immobile, and he felt himself fall back against the Tower wall, propped like an unsteady statue, unable to move or speak. He could not understand how it had happened – Expelliarmus was not a Freezing Charm –
Then, by the light of the Mark, he saw Dumbledore's wand flying in an arc over the edge of the ramparts and understood …" - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 27 (The Lightning-Struck Tower)

Though this doesn't show whether Accio would work on it, it does show it's not immune to all spells.

NAZIQ, MIRNA STRIKE IN OSTEND RACES;DOUBLE SUCCESS FOR HH SHEIKH MANSOOR
The Wellington racecourse in the Belgian city of Ostend turned out to be a happy hunting ground for Yas Horse Racing management, the horse racing arm of HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy PM of the UAE and Minister of Presidential Affairs, on Monday, August 14, 2017.
Double success for HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan
Naziq, Mirna strike in Ostend races
Ostend, Belgium
In the two races organized under the umbrella of the HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Global Arabian Horse Racing Festival, Naziq under Richard Mullen and Mirna under Rosie Jessop, both horses owned by Yas, won their respective races in front of a large band of fans at the Wellington racecourse.
The Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Cup Group 3 race run over 1800 metres and carrying a prize fund of Euros 35,000 had attracted a small field but it turned out into an exciting contest. Richard Mullen, who is also one of the jockey Ambassadors for the HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Global Arabian Horse Racing Festival, steered Naziq, a 5-year-old mare to a great win in the Group 3 event.
Mullen on the Elizabeth JF Bernard-trained Naziq was challenged by the Alban de Mieulle-trained First Division General under Jean-Baptiste Hamel but the latter was strong enough to win by 1.25 lengths in a time of 2:12.57. Al Mounteze Monlau under Roberto-Carlos Montenegro ran into third place.
Mullen heaped praise on Naziq, a mare sired by Mahabb and also bred at the breeding operations of HH Sheikh Mansoor for Monday's win. "Naziq is a great horse, put in a lot of effort in the final stages and helped stay ahead," said the champion jockey of the UAE.
Trainer Elizabeth Jean-Francois Bernard said, "Naziq is back to the form that he had been in previously which had helped her win Qatar Arabian Trophy des Juments, a Group 1 race held last year in Chantilly France."
The second success for Yas and for HH Sheikh Mansoor came when another Mahabb mare, 5-year-old Mirna finally tasted victory and this time in the Ostend leg of the HH Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies World Championship (IFAHR) race.
Mirna, which had come second in last year's HH Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Apprentice World Championship (IFAHR) race at the Tarbes racecourse in, Pau, France, was given a superb ride by one of the two professional lady jockeys in the 10-horse field.
The UK's Rosie Jessop seemed to finally bring out the best from the Mahabb mare, trained by Didier Guillemin, to make it a memorable day for HH Sheikh Mansoor.
Lou Raynal under Germany's Monique Lubcke and Mulhim under Hungarian Polet Nagy finished second and third respectively behind Mirna.
It was the first win for Mirna in 8 starts and the win helped the 28-year-old Jessop win her 69th win in 544 starts. The winner completed the 1000-metre distance in 1:05.17.
Jessop, who will now be part of the starting line-up in November in Abu Dhabi to contest the HH Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies World Championship race, said she was elated with the victory.
"I have to give full credit to my horse Mirna for that. She was the best today. I am looking forward to the Abu Dhabi final," said Jessop, who rode Arabians for over two years during a stint in Bahrain and now works for Sir Marl Prescott.
HE Abdullah Al Marzouqi, Second Secretary and representative of the Embassy of the State of Belgium, Ms. Lara Sawaya, Executive Director of the HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Global Arabian Horse Flat Racing Festival, Chairperson of Int'l Federation of Horse Racing Academies (IFHRA) and Chairperson of Ladies & Apprentice Racing Committees in the International Federation of Arabian Horse Racing Authorities (IFAHR) and General Manager of Al Wathba Stallions and Mubarak Al Nuaimi, Director of External Promotion Department, Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority and others gave away the trophies to the winners.
HE Abdullah Al Marzouki congratulated the wonderful victories achieved by horses owned by HH Sheikh Mansoor.
"The HH Sheikh Mansoor Festival has gained international fame in the international arena, including in Belgium, and has played a positive role in the return of interest Purebred Arabian horses in Europe and the rest of the world," he said.
Ms. Sawaya congratulated HH Sheikh Mansoor on the double success of his horses and also hailed Richard Mullen, the Festival's jockey's Ambassador for his victory.
"This race was the second leg of the Sheikh Zayed Cup European Triple Crown. The first was held in Toulouse and the next and final leg of the three race series will be in Poland on August 20," she added.
Ms. Sawaya also praised the huge crowd that filled the Wellington race course, which was estimated at more than 10,000 spectators.

BBC News style guide now globally available
I do enjoy a good style guide: browsing the alphabetical entries, reading the general advice sections, learning how organisations handle sensitive subjects, and seeing how different publishers treat the same material. What usage fiend doesn't find this stuff fascinating?
So I was very happy to learn today that the BBC News style guide is now fully and freely available online. It went public about a year ago but didn't appear to be accessible outside the UK, except for a PDF which, though generally excellent, dates to March 2003.
Audiences expect the BBC to demonstrate the highest standards of English because well-written stories are easier to understand. This section of the College of Journalism website is the current style guide for all BBC News output. Although it is only a guide for journalists, it details many of the rules of spelling, punctuation and grammar. It also covers accuracy, fairness and impartiality. The Oxford English Dictionary is otherwise the preferred reference.

"Lie" vs "Lay" – let's try to sort things out! [Laying down the lie of the land/We cannot tell a lie: "Lie" vs. "lay" is confusing]
A recent comment by Isobel on my post 'Who's the boss of English?' raised the vexed question of lay vs. lie. I felt this would be worth a post in its own right – not so much to lay down the law as to give the lie to the idea that it's a simple matter of people learning what's correct. Incidentally, the noun in the phrase in the title shows dialectal variation: generally lie of the land in British English, lay of the land in American English.

Q&A: Chris Carter on The X-Files and 'The '90s: The Last Great Decade'
A lot can change in 15 years. National Geographic Channel's upcoming three-part miniseries The '90s: The Last Great Decade? makes that quite apparent, with a look back on the decade that gave us Bill Clinton's presidency, the rise of America Online, the musical stylings of Vanilla Ice, and a spooky little television series called The X-Files.
Created by Chris Carter, The X-Files debuted in September 1993 and quickly became a touchstone for an entire generation of skeptics, sci-fi enthusiasts, conspiracy theorists, and audiences in search of something that was unlike anything else on television. The series went on to set the record for a sci-fi series with nine seasons of adventures featuring FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny), Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), and their successors investigating all manner of extraterrestrial and supernatural phenomena.
With a run that spanned most of the decade and storylines that were often ripped from the headlines, The X-Files was truly a product of its time. That's why mental_floss was happy to speak with Carter—who reflects on the show's success in The '90s: The Last Great Decade?—and have the chance to discuss the beloved series he created, the decade that nurtured it, and whether the truth is still out there.
Sailing the seas of nautical language
I recently endured a weekend of mini-disasters (and it was supposed to be a relaxing Bank Holiday, too!). When I related the catalogue of catastrophettes to my father, his first response was 'Well, worse things happen at sea!'. Though I was piqued, as he clearly didn't think my weekend ranked high on the scale of human suffering, I thanked him for reminding me of this saying. It prompted me to muse that, whether we're aware of it or not, the salty tang of the sea is never far from our thoughts, lips, pens, or keyboards. Nautical words and phrases season the discourse of our daily lives, from official reports and the outpourings of the media to our conversations and emails between family and friends.
You don't need to indulge in the cheesy pseudo-piratespeak of shiver me timbers, scurvy dogs, and avast me hearties to navigate these linguistic waters, either (entertaining though it can be!). Although some words and sayings are transparent in their links to life on the briny (including 'worse things happen at sea') we use others without ever being aware of their marine origins, so far have they voyaged from their first or literal meanings.
Here's a selection of words and expressions with nautical roots: some may surprise you!

Why Grammar Is Important
In high school or college, students of Asian heritage have the reputation of making the highest grades in the class, and the average American student worries about having several Asian Students in his or her class for fear that they will raise the curve and make it harder to get a good grade. Is that fear justified? Let's look at some revealing facts.
The past eight winners of the National Spelling Bee, and the last thirteen of seventeen winners, have been of Indian descent.
Let's keep going. According to a recent study (2012) comparing the academic performance of high school age young people in fifty-seven countries, students from the United States are performing well below those from most other developed nations. But Arne Duncan, U. S. Secretary of Education, points out that's not the big problem. A more pressing concern, he claims, is the fact that American students are standing still while those of other nations are advancing. Hence, that gap will continue to widen.
The report, conducted by PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment), shows that students in the United States performed near the middle of the pack. Averaging academic scores from all the countries, sixteen other industrialized countries scored above the United States in science, and twenty-three scored above the U.S. in math. Educational authorities noted that math scores in the United States remained about the same as they were when the last international academic scores were recorded, but scores in many other nations improved. There was a glitch in recording some reading scores, so reliable comparisons of reading scores are not currently available. However, Agence France-Presse (AFP), the oldest and largest news agency in the world with headquarters in Paris, reports that the United States ranks fourteenth in reading skills.

Man drives off Grizzly Peak, undiscovered for four days
by Tracey Taylor April 29, 2011, 2:03 p.m. October 4, 2022

[Update, 11:05pm: The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the driver of the car was 53-year-old James Wright of El Cerrito who had been reported missing by his family on Monday. Wright was conscious and calm when he was found by Park Ranger Dave Flores and is in remarkably good condition.]
[Upate, 04.30.11: A comment left by a reader who is close to James Wright confirms that the accident happened on Monday morning which means Wright was in the car for four days. "Jim is doing great for what he has been through," writes Albchar. "I can assure you, having driven many rimes with Jim, speed was not a factor , which is probably why he is alive and well. The family has been through hell and back but are ecstatic and grateful beyond words that he is alive and well."]
A man who drove off Grizzly Peak between Centennial Drive and South Park Drive was rescued alive this morning, and taken to Highland Hospital, after being undiscovered for an estimated three days.
The car was spotted this morning at about 10:30am when an East Bay Regional Parks ranger caught sight of glinting metal about 200 feet down the side of a hill, according to the Oakland Police Department. The cause of the accident and the driver's condition is unknown.
The car can just be seen buried in the brush and vegetation about 200 feet down the hill on UC Berkeley land
The rescue was carried out by teams from the Oakland Fire Department and the East Bay Parks Fire Department at around 12:30pm.
The car came to a rest on UC Berkeley land in the upper Strawberry Canyon area. Tom Klatt from UC Berkeley's Facilities Department was on hand at the scene of the accident at lunchtime to supervise the removal of the car. This was expected to happen at around 1:30pm when special equipment and a big rig tow truck could be brought in.
An Oakland police officer and a tow truck await the arrival of the required equipment to bring the car up the hill
The land is an protected area, according to Klatt, not least because it is home to the Alameda whip snake, an endangered species. "It's important to get the car off the land as soon as possible to avoid contamination," he said. "In the past, cars that were left to rot would leak gasoline, transmission fluid and battery acid which is environmentally damaging."
Klatt said there used to be a handful of cars going off Grizzly Peak every decade. More guardrails have helped reduce numbers but, he said, the university is pressing for more to be erected.
This is the second instance of a car going off Grizzly Peak this month. On April 13, an SUV plunged 100 feet down the same road near Fish Ranch Road. In that case the driver emerged relatively unscathed — he was able to climb back up to the road to get help.

Imagine. You just hit 30.
You've worked 8 years in good jobs. Pay packs expanded through the period. Lifestyles were improving all through. You broke away from the tough struggles of life and found what you wanted. In fact, you always found what you wanted.
It is the time to take stock of what you have accumulated from your success. You try gathering the pieces. A white paper is handy. A vertical line divides assets and borrowings. To your credit, you have a house. Against it stands a huge loan. You have some PPF money lying which your father recommended. You got a mandatory list of wedding jewellery. Marriage did it for you.
Your savings bank is carrying a few months salary. You aren't yet thinking of how you will put it to work. You see the cash in bank as a contingency reserve. You use plastic money to spend. At times you don't pay the bills on the date when the payments fall due. Interest accrues on your expenses. You pay high interest on your expenses. You have a few scattered insurance policies. In fact they are ULIPS and money back policies. You don't exactly know for sure if they are the best insurance ideas for you.
The thought of what you want to make out of your money hasn't got the right attention from you. You think its not so cool to be gold crazy. But your wife thinks buying gold is better than doing nothing. Buying real estate hasn't crossed your mind. This is you at moment. It is the way you have been. But, this moment is about change. You need to shift gears. You Know what is happening is not right. You need to find out the way forward. The crossroads have arrived. You need to change track and move along.

Most people know me as a poet. I've been writing poetry since the early 1990s and have been lucky enough to have books p ublished with a fine poetry press, Salmon. But I've always been interested in stories. Many of my poems had a strong narrative thread; I explored family history, in particular the exciting life led by my maternal grandparents during the first quarter of the 20th century. Granddad fought in all the conflicts of that period, from World War 1 through the War of Independence to the Civil War. My grandmother lived through that brutal period, and saw many acts of violence in her own home town of Kiltimagh, Co. Mayo. Poetry allowed me to get inside the heads of these characters via dramatic monologue; I enjoyed the compression that the poem required, and the tension with the expansiveness that storytelling called for.
But the more I researched my grandfather's life, the more I read of the chaotic period that followed Civil War and the early years of the fledging Irish State. Essentially Ireland was in a limbo where war had petered out rather than ended, and many people hung on to the arms they'd been using during the war. Added to that were the tens of thousands of men made redundant by the National Army, many of whom had no work to go to. The recipe was civil disorder on a massive scale. So it struck me forcefully that there would be a terrific novel, or series of them, to be written about extraordinary period when people were emerging stunned, brutalised and shaken by a decade of violence. I looked on the shelves of bookshops and libraries, but couldn't see anything. There have been some wonderful examples of Irish historic crime fiction in recent years, but they were either set earlier (Conor Brady, Kevin McCarthy) or later (Joe Joyce, for example).
So I decided to have a go. I've spent my life teaching students that we should learn through practice, so that's what I set out to do with my first crime novel, The Branchman. I began at the beginning – well, first let me stop and wind back a little earlier to when it really started. I began with books. I grew up reading crime – Agatha Christie was my teenage obsession – and I've always loved the TV police procedurals on the Morse / Endeavour / Lewis model. I love character-driven mysteries, where we discover the truth at the same pace as the protagonists.
So back to my second beginning, when I signed up for a crime-writing course being taught by Louise Phillips at the Irish Writers Centre. Over ten weeks, Louise taught a room crammed with crime fiction enthusiasts the basics of narrative, structure, building suspense and creating character. Some of the principles I was already familiar with, having taught fiction for a number of years, but the specific requirements of crime-writing were new to me. So too was the practical advice on how to write a novel, bit by bit. As a poet, I'd always been overwhelmed at the scale of a novel; used to writing in short bursts, I couldn't imagine having the stamina to write up to 100,000 words. But Louise sensibly pointed out that a novel grows; if you write 500 words a day, in six months you'd have 90,000 words and more. Louise handed us out a grid marked out in days and weeks, and invited us to put in our daily word count. For a literalist such as me, that was all the encouragement I needed. I proudly handed in my weekly word count, and by the end of the course I had more than 15000 words written.
Sustaining that momentum in the weeks and months after the course proved difficult. A jobbing writer, I had assignments to mark, courses to teach, life to live; the sorts of excuses we all find ourselves making. And yet I didn't want to waste what I had already done, or stop thinking about the story and characters I had already been imagining.
So I resumed my daily schedule, getting up at 5.30 (thanks, hormones, for that extra time gained) and working to produce at least 1,000 words each day. By the following spring, I had a complete first draft. Then, two things happened, one unfortunate, one incredibly fortunate. I'd given the first draft to my brother, who had a friend who was an avid reader of the sort of book I was trying to write. He'd passed it on and promised to revert with feedback. Time passed, and there was no word. When I finally followed up, he airily mentioned that it hadn't held his friend who'd given up after 60 pages. I discovered this on the first day of a writer's retreat where I'd planned to spend the time redrafting the novel. The reader's response devastated me; I sat surrounded by proof pages and crushed ambitions.
The fortunate thing happened on the same day. I was contacted by a wonderful writer, Ferdia MacAnna. He was calling about something else entirely, but I took the opportunity to vent my distress. He offered to read the offending 60 pages and, when he contacted me a short while later to tell me how much he'd enjoyed the whole draft, making very constructive suggestions for improvement, I knew I'd found a trusted editor. I'd also re-found my confidence.
With Ferdia's advice I completed three further drafts, and by the Autumn of 2017 it was ready to send out. I began the task of researching the names of agents and publishers, feeling that UK big names were the place to start. Not surprisingly, I got very little response (only one agent replied of the three I'd identified). Crestfallen yet again, I began to wonder if the type of novel I was writing (a historic crime fiction set in the post Civil War period) was more suited to the Irish market.
At this point, fate intervened once more. I got a phone call from the publisher, Alan Hayes of Arlen House, who I had worked with on a critical study of Eavan Boland that I'd edited alongside Siobhán Campbell. He asked how the novel was going, and I told him. He offered to read it and, a few months later, told me he'd loved it, and would be happy to publish it. That simple.
Though of course nothing is ever that simple. As anyone who has published a book will know, getting it out there is just the start of it. It's a constant challenge to get readership, to get space on those bookshelves I pored over looking for the sorts of narratives I wanted to read. I've had a great word of mouth response from initial readers, and amazing support from festival organisers and libraries (note to new writers – it's always worth directly emailing librarians to ask if they'll stock your book – they often will). So the story is still only beginning for me and for my Detective, Michael Mackey. How long it will last remains to be seen.

This is the first photo I have posted to my blog. I love this photo of Mt. Rainier. I took it from the side of the road just outside of Enumclaw. I was on my way to Crystal Mountain to go skiing in early March – and I just happened to have my camera gear in the car with me.

Q: I am trying to implement an image upload feature on my Django project but no file is being created. What is wrong with my code? I have a profile page with a default profile picture and a 'Change' button beside it which will trigger a modal upon being clicked. In this modal, the image upload button (for choosing the image) will appear along with a submit button. I have created a separate view for handling the image upload. I do not know why a file is not being created after upload. No error message is being given by Django. I suspect it has something to do with settings.py configuration or the action part of my modal  field.

Early season can be extremely tough to hunt. The weather is often hot and muggy, meaning that archery hunters will inevitably run into annoying insects, frequent strong winds, and if they stick it out long enough--rain. These are not exactly the scenarios that come to mind when we visualize perfect conditions to kill big whitetails.
Water sources are an obvious choice to hunt during hot weather. How and where stands are set up at these sites is extremely important. Oftentimes, ponds like this will only have a few areas worth setting up in during prevailing winds. Take advantage of the available trees, hang stands high and brush them in.
Cutting my teeth bowhunting in Minnesota, a state where the gun season typically opens the first weekend of November, forced me to find ways to take advantage of early and mid-season. Knowing that I wouldn't be able to hunt during the bulk of the chasing phase or the peak of the rut caused me to focus harder on what deer do earlier. Granted not every early season is wrought with muggy, miserable weather, but one can pretty much plan on encountering a stretch or two every year, and if the early season offers plenty of cool weather, you can pretty much bet that October or early November will feature a weekend or two of balmy weather. A lot of archery hunters sit out those warm spells waiting for cooler days. They are making a mistake.
Big buck experts often tout the early season for its predictability as far as mature bucks are concerned. In my experience I've found that I can almost always find a nice buck in a field in August if I look hard enough through good optics, but that is rarely the case when the middle of September rolls around. Mature bucks are naturally inclined to abandon their summer feeding patterns to begin with, and the influx of archery hunters hanging stands, scouting field edges and intruding more frequently only adds to that natural inclination. The pressure builds, the bucks disappear.
One factor that cuts down slightly on that pressure is unseasonably hot weather. One could argue that the warm weather does not promote significant deer movement (it doesn't), but the deer do move. Just like in heavy winds or nasty weather, they will move eventually to eat no matter what. These are not the nights where you are going to be surrounded by tons of deer two hours before dark, but a big one might just make a mistake right at last light offering a shot.
Most hunters, especially the weekend warriors, will find an excuse to not go sit in a stand when the temperatures push too high for comfort. The prospect of sweating profusely on the way in, fighting the bugs and not seeing a lot of deer is a huge deterrent to archery hunters. The plus side of sitting during these times is that the human factor may all but be erased for a few days, and that alone can be enough to foster more deer movement. The lack of not only archery hunters, but small game hunters, and just about anyone else inclined to wander into the woods is a plus for the archer willing to tough it out.
The most obvious way to shoot a good buck during hot weather is to hunt near a water source. This seems easy enough but it's not. Granted, if water is very limited in an area then the deer's options are obviously limited, but in a lot of places especially in the Midwest and the eastern part of the United States there are a lot more water sources than we think.
The first nice buck that I ever harvested with archery equipment came through an oak flat off of a cornfield two hours before dark. It was an Indian summer weekend in mid-October and the temperature was 75 degrees. When he approached I watched through a cloud of insects as he got to 30 yards, made an abrupt right turn and stuck his head into the base of a tree. I assumed he was eating acorns or some other kind of browse. I was fortunate enough to shoot him as he posed there.
Certain places just beg a hunter to sit them during hot weather. A normal river or stream crossing will likely see some use just about every day, but the archer willing to sit them during the Indian summer days of fall just might be treated to multiple deer sightings and shot opportunities due to the deer's need to stay hydrated.
When I got down to retrieve my arrow and start blood trailing the deer I found what the buck was so interested in. There was a softball sized hole in the root system of a box elder clump that had standing water in it. He had been drinking when I shot him, which surprised me because not more than a third of a mile away ran a spring fed trout stream. He had opted to drink the stagnant water that was close to his bedding and feeding area instead of ranging out for the better quality water. After that encounter I've kept my mind open to more possibilities in the water category besides just ponds, lakes, rivers and streams.
This is not to say that obvious water holes should be ignored in search of the hidden Holy Grail but due to the nature of where rivers and streams are located they can be nightmares when it comes to playing the wind. Stream and river crossings deserve extra caution and extra attention to detail when deciding to hunt them. If the wind seems remotely wrong, sitting them might not be a good idea because of the possibility of swirling winds. On the plus side, rivers and streams are often surrounded by older growth trees thus providing plenty of options for hanging stands. These are the areas that may take a little tweaking to find the best way to sit when the wind is blowing (something the wind often does during warm weather), but the time and study will prove worth it.
Lakes and ponds can be easier, but often (especially in the case of ponds) they lack adequate trees to set up stands in. This can be remedied by taking advantage of the only available trees around (hang stands high, brush them in, do whatever to hide your silhouette), or by employing the ever-popular ground blind. Set either up way ahead of the season and allow them to blend into the environment over time. If you build it and it gets hot enough, the deer will come.
When Mother Nature delivers hot and humid weather, rain is often not far behind. In the eyes of many hunters, rain is another deterrent. The prospect of getting drenched on a tree stand is just as appealing to most as fighting off bugs and sweating. Often, archery hunters can experience both in the same night, but if they are willing to stick it out, the possibility of being rewarded is very real.
they do. Some of the best nights I've ever hunted have featured weather in the 70s with light rain falling. One such night recently resulted in me arrowing my largest buck to date.
The whole day was miserably humid, the skies cloudy with the prospect of rain coming at any second. Due to work obligations I couldn't get out to a stand I had been saving on the edge of a small bean field until fairly late. It was the second to the last weekend of September and the temperature was in the 70s. As I hustled my way to the stand a light rain started falling and I knew the night was going to be fun. There is something about early season, beans and rain that bring the deer out.
One half-hour before dark I had a beautiful non-typical come out and cruise straight down the field focusing all of his attention on eating and watching the end of the field closest to the road (presumable where most of the danger would come from). At 10 yards he offered me the gift of a broadside shot that I connected on.
The field that I shot that buck off of was no secret to the other archery hunters that my father and I share that farm with. I'm convinced that the reason that buck came out during daylight hours is because it had been so hot and the other hunters hadn't wanted to walk the distance to get back there and hunt (especially when it started to rain). Their unwillingness to exert themselves allowed me the opportunity to hunt that buck as if he were still on his normal summer feeding pattern.
When the dog days of summer stick around through the fall, archery hunters need to pay special attention to their gear. Scent control becomes a huge issue when the mercury climbs to uncomfortable levels. Light, breathable scent controlling duds are an absolute must. Wear the bare minimum on the way in to your setup, carry a pack with your clothes in it if you have to, do whatever it takes to cut down on the sweat factor.
Avoid trying to set up stands during hot weather if at all possible. The exertion, even from using climbing stands is enough to cause some serious perspiration. Instead, plan ahead and have several tree stands and ground blinds set up before the season starts.
Another piece of equipment that can prove invaluable to the archer is a lightweight, breathable rain suit. They often weigh next to nothing and can not only be used to stay dry during bouts of rainy weather, but they often do a good job of keeping biting insects away from your skin. The only downside to a lot of rain gear is that they (especially less expensive suits) can prove to be too warm.
Hunting hot weather whitetails deserves special attention. Allowing a harvested animal to spoil in the heat is not an option, so special considerations must be made.
Although archery hunters should always strive to take ethical shots, the prospect of making a poor shot during extremely warm weather should not be taken lightly. Don't push it under any circumstances. A gut shot deer in November is a different story than one shot in September. Shots must be taken with the confidence that they will connect cleanly and precisely.
If a poor shot is made, the recovery efforts must be well thought out. The fine line that early season hunters tread is pushing the deer too early or not recovering them fast enough. If the shot appeared to be lethal, or if the after shot sign indicates that it was, round up the right people and the right lights to help with the tracking job. If the hit is marginal, or the outcome unsure, give the deer at least four hours. If that means driving back out to the woods at 2 a.m., do it. The option to just "wait until morning" might not be there if it's too hot and is going to stay that way.
When the deer is recovered get it gutted out immediately and propped open. After that, get the hide off. If for some reason the skinning job needs to be postponed hang it up and stuff the body cavity with ice (this is not a bad idea even if the hide is removed). Pay special attention to the shoulders and the haunches. Because they are thicker they take longer to cool off, pack enough ice on them to get their temperature down as quickly as possible. Saving the meat at all costs is the goal.
Fighting the insect element can seem like a losing battle when on a tree stand in muggy conditions. Even if the bugs aren't able to bite you, listening to them buzz around your ears is enough to drive a hunter crazy. Several companies are making insect repellent that is scent free now, which is a good option. Another option is to try out the battery powered portable units that synthesize certain natural scents to drive bugs away. Either way, if an archery hunter is going to sit during unseasonably warm weather, he is going to fight the bug battle. Mess around with a few options to find what works best for you.
The main goal of gearing up for a hunt in hot weather is comfort. Being uncomfortable while hunting promotes movement and distraction. Go to extra measures to stay as cool as possible, dry and free from biting insects.
Although sweating while sitting still on a tree stand may not be appealing, the chance to score on a mature buck should be. Preparation and a dedication to things like comfort and stand placement will pay dividends when hunting sweltering Indian summer days.
While other hunters are sitting at home in air conditioned houses waiting for cooler fall weather, a few nuts will be on stand or in a ground blind watching a cattle pond or a river crossing. I'll bet you can guess which group stands a chance at filling a tag!

At the New York Summit a few days ago we launched two new Amazon SageMaker features: a new batch inference feature called Batch Transform that allows customers to make predictions in non-real time scenarios across petabytes of data and Pipe Input Mode support for TensorFlow containers. SageMaker remains one of my favorite services and we've covered it extensively on this blog and the machine learning blog. In fact, the rapid pace of innovation from the SageMaker team is a bit hard to keep up with. Since our last post on SageMaker's Automatic Model Tuning with Hyper Parameter Optimization, the team launched 4 new built-in algorithms and tons of new features. Let's take a look at the new Batch Transform feature.
The Batch Transform feature is a high-performance and high-throughput method for transforming data and generating inferences. It's ideal for scenarios where you're dealing with large batches of data, don't need sub-second latency, or need to both preprocess and transform the training data. The best part? You don't have to write a single additional line of code to make use of this feature. You can take all of your existing models and start batch transform jobs based on them. This feature is available at no additional charge and you pay only for the underlying resources.
Let's take a look at how we would do this for the built-in Object Detection algorithm. I followed the example notebook to train my object detection model. Now I'll go to the SageMaker console and open the Batch Transform sub-console.
From there I can start a new batch transform job.
Here I can name my transform job, select which of my models I want to use, and the number and type of instances to use. Additionally, I can configure the specifics around how many records to send to my inference concurrently and the size of the payload. If I don't manually specify these then SageMaker will select some sensible defaults.
Next I need to specify my input location. I can either use a manifest file or just load all the files in an S3 location. Since I'm dealing with images here I've manually specified my input content-type.
Finally, I'll configure my output location and start the job!
Once the job is running, I can open the job detail page and follow the links to the metrics and the logs in Amazon CloudWatch.
I can see the job is running and if I look at my results in S3 I can see the predicted labels for each image.
The transform generated one output JSON file per input file containing the detected objects.
From here it would be easy to create a table for the bucket in AWS Glue and either query the results with Amazon Athena or visualize them with Amazon QuickSight.
Of course it's also possible to start these jobs programmatically from the SageMaker API.
You can find a lot more detail on how to use batch transforms in your own containers in the documentation.
Pipe input mode allows customers to stream their training dataset directly from Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) into Amazon SageMaker using a highly optimized multi-threaded background process. This mode offers significantly better read throughput than the File input mode that must first download the data to the local Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume. This means your training jobs start sooner, finish faster, and use less disk space, lowering the costs associated with training your models. It has the added benefit of letting you train on datasets beyond the 16 TB EBS volume size limit.
Earlier this year, we ran some experiments with Pipe Input Mode and found that startup times were reduced up to 87% on a 78 GB dataset, with throughput twice as fast in some benchmarks, ultimately resulting in up to a 35% reduction in total training time.
By adding support for Pipe Input Mode to TensorFlow we're making it easier for customers to take advantage of the same increased speed available to the built-in algorithms. Let's look at how this works in practice.
First, I need to make sure I have the sagemaker-tensorflow-extensions available for my training job. This gives us the new PipeModeDataset class which takes a channel and a record format as inputs and returns a TensorFlow dataset. We can use this in our input_fn for the TensorFlow estimator and read from the channel. The code sample below shows a simple example.
# Simple example data - a labeled vector.
# the TF Record encoding.
Then you can define your model and the same way you would for a normal TensorFlow estimator. When it comes to estimator creation time you just need to pass in input_mode='Pipe' as one of the parameters.
Both of these new features are available now at no additional charge, and I'm looking forward to seeing what customers can build with the batch transform feature. I can already tell you that it will help us with some of our internal ML workloads here in AWS Marketing.
As always, let us know what you think of this feature in the comments or on Twitter!
