Argument: Development Déjà Vu Development Déjà Vu...
An expert's point of view on a current event.
Development Déjà Vu
How can the new BRICS bank avoid repeating the same mistakes and egregious human rights violations of the World Bank?

The BRICS countries -- Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa -- announced last week that they are launching two new institutions: the New Development Bank (NDB) and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA). These institutions are being promoted as complements rather than competitors to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), respectively, Western-dominated institutions that have dictated the policies of global development and finance since their inception 70 years ago at the Bretton Woods conference.
The NBD, which is being called the "BRICS bank," will focus on sustainable development and infrastructure, an area in which the demand for investment far outstrips the supply of money, especially in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis. The symbolic importance of the bank's launch is clear, sending a signal that emerging economies are dissatisfied with developed global powers' unwillingness to adapt to a changing, multipolar world order.
But it remains to be seen how the bank and the CRA -- which will provide reserve funds for times of economic crisis -- will actually affect the global architecture of economic policymaking and other geopolitical concerns. Crucially, the NDB's policies must be designed to respect and protect human rights, something the World Bank has failed to do.
The BRICS countries — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — announced last week that they are launching two new institutions: the New Development Bank (NDB) and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA). These institutions are being promoted as complements rather than competitors to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), respectively, Western-dominated institutions that have dictated the policies of global development and finance since their inception 70 years ago at the Bretton Woods conference.
The NBD, which is being called the "BRICS bank," will focus on sustainable development and infrastructure, an area in which the demand for investment far outstrips the supply of money, especially in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis. The symbolic importance of the bank's launch is clear, sending a signal that emerging economies are dissatisfied with developed global powers' unwillingness to adapt to a changing, multipolar world order.
But it remains to be seen how the bank and the CRA — which will provide reserve funds for times of economic crisis — will actually affect the global architecture of economic policymaking and other geopolitical concerns. Crucially, the NDB's policies must be designed to respect and protect human rights, something the World Bank has failed to do.
BRICS countries, which comprise 40 percent of the world's population and 20 percent of its GDP, have long bristled at their exclusion from the governance of the Bretton Woods institutions. Washington hosts the World Bank, holds the bank's only veto power, and has refused to relinquish its stranglehold on the institution's presidency. Washington's unwillingness to reform the IMF has also provoked frustration. In 2010, for instance, IMF member countries agreed to redistribute voting rights to give more weight to emerging economies — but the changes were never implemented because the U.S. Congress declined to ratify the agreement.
By contrast, the NDB's commitment to democratic governance is embodied in its power-sharing arrangement. Each member's initial contribution will be $10 billion, and all are granted equal voting rights. India will claim the inaugural presidency, Brazil will head the board of directors, Russia will take the helm of the board of governors, and the bank will be headquartered in China, with a branch in South Africa.
The NDB seems to be offering an alternative development paradigm to the so-called "Washington Consensus," which conditioned international loans on harsh neoliberal policies that required countries to slash social spending, privatize state resources, gut labor and environmental protections, promote free trade, and impose other austerity measures that have harmed rather than helped developing countries. Indeed, the NDB members are drawn from a diverse group of countries with diverging challenges, political systems, values, cultures, and economies. The Fortaleza Declaration, which outlines the NDB's mission, embraces a pluralistic view of development that respects self-determination and innovation. Although the details of the NDB's policies and practices have only been painted in broad strokes, there is a strong sense that the NDB is unlikely to attach strings to its loans; the bank's leaders have signaled their intent to run a bank of projects, not policies.
However, some observers note that despite the NDB's democratic trappings, China is the powerhouse of the group. They caution that China may use the veil of multipolarity to cloak self-serving goals. After all, critics argue, it has deployed development aid in the past to lubricate access to the raw materials and energy necessary to fuel its rapid industrial growth, and the resulting projects have not always been well received by affected communities. (Just one example is the Sinohydro-funded Agua Zarca dam in Honduras, which has generated conflict between the project's backers and an indigenous group that is contesting the destruction of ancestral lands.) The truth is probably somewhere in the middle: China, like all governments, has mixed motives in its aid strategy; it is not an outlier in this regard. But observers fear that infrastructure development funding from the NDB will be geared toward easing corporate and government access to resources, not lifting the world's poor out of poverty — echoing criticisms leveled at the World Bank.
If this happens, the NBD will be at risk of repeating the mistakes that have plagued the World Bank and have undermined its efficacy and mission for decades. The World Bank has been criticized for failing to incorporate human rights into its policies and operational framework. Civil society organizations, experts, and affected communities have fought to institute reforms, yielding modest improvements, such as the implementation of environmental and social safeguards on projects. Yet these only came after a series of projects that caused repression, displacement, and environmental harms in the 1980s and 1990s, including the Narmada River dams in India, especially the Sardar Sarovar Dam, which incited massive opposition and international opprobrium, and the Chixoy Hydroelectric Dam in Guatemala, which displaced 33 indigenous Maya Achi communities and resulted in the massacre of more than 440 people. (Survivors have still not received reparations.) The World Bank's dispute-resolution mechanism, called the Inspection Panel, was only instituted after the Narmada dam debacle in India, and its power is limited: For instance, it cannot actually pay damages to aggrieved stakeholders.
Troublingly, too, the World Bank may now be diluting some of the very protections that activists fought long and hard to achieve. A leaked draft of the bank's proposed new safeguard policies indicates that protections for marginalized communities and the environment will be weakened. Of particular concern are new policies that, according to the Bank Information Center, a watchdog group, will grant governments "unprecedented latitude over decisions regarding when, how, and, in some cases, even if these policies will be applied to particular Bank projects." In emails leaked in early July, senior bank officials expressed alarm to managers that the proposed changes, which reflect the bank's eagerness to increase lending, would lead to more "problem projects." Human rights and development advocates also fear that the proposed changes pave the way for large-scale power, mining, transportation, and agricultural projects that threaten to unleash environmental destruction and harm the poor communities in which they are located.
Although there is no monolithic view about how to best foster development, reduce inequality, and eradicate poverty, an emerging international consensus supports a framework rooted in human rights, as recognized by global treaties onto which most countries (though not all) have signed. To adopt this framework and avoid the World Bank's pitfalls, the NDB should not jettison conditionality entirely; it should require compliance with human rights norms in projects that it funds.
If it is to truly usher in transformative change, the NDB should be visionary and proactive, not merely reactive. Instead of incorporating reforms after projects have caused incalculable and irreparable damage, the new bank must ensure from the outset that it funds projects that not only comport with and strengthen the social and environmental safeguards that the World Bank has adopted, but also explicitly incorporate the human rights framework that the World Bank has resisted. Indeed, the mandate to respect and protect human rights under international law must be built into the NBD's founding documents and integrated into all its policies and operational guidelines.
The NDB need not start from scratch. It should draw from thoughtful recommendations to the World Bank distilled from the bank's past failures. For example, the NDB should foster the self-determination not only of nations but also of local communities in setting development agendas. It should do this by enlisting the participation of civil society organizations both at the project level and as it sets its overarching mission. This will engender goodwill about the NDB's commitment to policies that include affected communities as partners, not merely subjects.
Because women, the disabled, the poor, linguistic and cultural minorities, and other marginalized groups have been historically excluded from decision-making by international financial institutions, the NDB should also include a nondiscrimination policy that ensures information and consultation are accessible to all groups. Such access can be achieved by, among other things, presenting materials in local languages and in both written and oral form, and displaying sensitivity to the cultural dynamics that may impede participation. Moreover, the NDB should develop tools to accurately assess the human rights implications of projects before they are initiated and assess those implications throughout the project, which requires that the bank be adequately staffed and funded to ensure careful monitoring. And because it is difficult to hold international organizations to account, the NDB should include a waiver of immunity, which would help ensure that it could not shirk responsibility, at least for projects that end up evincing egregious disregard for human rights. Certainly, the bank should include a robust and independent complaint mechanism empowered to make those harmed by projects both heard and compensated.
If the New Development Bank can transcend self-interest and the World Bank's economic orthodoxy, embracing human rights though a clear mission and enforceable policies, it has the potential to advance the dignity and well-being of the globe — including some of its poorest people. In the world of international institutions, this would be nothing short of a game-changer.

It's time for Beijing to reexamine its long-standing sense of purpose.


This year was challenging, eventhough it was not so hard as 2013, but no less active both in artistic and curatorial field. Some decisions and steps were made, which led to better interaction with the environment and myself.
Anyway, in 2014 I had more than 50 performances. Toured USA, Canada, UK and Central Europe. I'm very thankfull for all the people that helped me to do this big plan.
I also organized two festivals, one art project and series of events in a few places in Lithuania.
Simbolically will finish this year with a performance, not in Lithuania, but in the UK, it's New Years Eve party in Southend-on-Sea.
Plans for 2015? I will tour, but less, not like a month long tour, but maximum two weeks or so. Shows in Germany, Netherlands, Belarus, Ukraine are already planned, also thinking about Canadian and Russian tour.
As for events in Lithuania, a few are already announced, one more festival planned in hometown and series of events in Vilnius and Kaunas. Hopefully less touring will bring more time and energy for other things, like for example recording new material and meditating.
ps: this is the gig report from the recent show in Salford-Manchester.

Mr Philippe, 46, is the mayor of Le Havre and a close associate of Alain Juppe, a prominent conservative who was touted to replace Francois Fillon as presidential candidate for the Republicans.
He worked as public affairs director for the state nuclear group Areva between 2007 and 2010.
Germany was also ready to partner with France in seeking more cooperation in defence policy and a more coherent European foreign policy that could "make Europe more visible" and stronger, she said.
By appointing him, Macron has passed over some loyal followers including Richard Ferrand, a former Socialist who was one of the first to join Macron's cause a year ago and is secretary general of REM.
And both count well-connected political advisor and writer Jacques Attali as well as late Socialist prime minister Michel Rocard as influences during their ascent through French political life.
One of Macron s aides welcomed his appointment as "a good move", telling AFP it would help him "break the right".
Mending Europe's frayed unity is such a high priority for new French President Emmanuel Macron that he's visiting neighboring Germany and its Chancellor Angela Merkel on his first day in office.
Philippe is mayor of the northern port of Le Havre and an MP for the region since 2012 who studied at the same universities as Macron and shares many of his views on the economy and social issues.
France's new president Emmanuel Macron wore a suit costing a modest 450 euros (just under $500) for his inauguration on Sunday, in an apparent attempt to dissociate himself from "bling-bling" politics.
Previous year he was part of Mr Juppe's unsuccessful campaign team in The Republicans' primaries, and then joined the presidential campaign of Francois Fillon, the party's nominee.
Jean-Luc Melenchon, the leader of The France Insoumise (Unsubmissive France) party, who was eliminated in the first round of the presidential election, said that having appointed Philippe, Macron took over the whole political spectrum of France and promised that his party would remain the only opposition force.
Merkel and Macron met in Berlin in March during the French presidential campaign, but Monday's talks mark their first meeting since his election.
Macron's planned afternoon trip to Berlin, his first as president, signals his intent to also move rapidly on campaign promises to revive support for the European Union by reforming and strengthening it.
"The president of the republic has appointed Edouard Philippe as prime minister", Alexis Kohler, the newly appointed Elysee Secretary General, told a very brief news conference on Monday.

Those prickly plants can be a serious danger to cattle in dry regions, and they can spread pretty rapidly too. This is the first I've heard of a problem in Asia.
The rapid spread of prickly pear in eastern Australia in the 1920s was considered to be one of the botanical wonders of the world, and its virtual destruction in a mere six years by cactoblastis caterpillars is regarded as the world's most spectacular example of successful weed biological control.

Katie van Schaijik | Dec 1, 2015 | 6 cmts
Here are some possible basic attitudes toward another person's moral being (or our own):
1) Accuser. The accuser looks for evil and points it out, highlights it, draws attention to it.
2) Indifferentist. The indifferentist doesn't much care about the moral being of others or self and doesn't pay it serious attention.
3) Critic. The critic dispassionately examines and analyzes, seeing good and bad aspects, judging them in comparison with perfection.
4) Lover. The lover searches for "whatever is good" in another person—affirms it, delights in it, and magnifies it. The lover sees that good as the essential part, and the rest as comparatively unimportant.
From the point of view of Christian personalism—considering some basic truths of our existence as human persons—only the 4th is just.
I have in mind truths like these:
1) Each and every one is made in God's image and likeness, infinitely precious and valuable, and greatly loved by Him.
2) Each person is "an infinite abyss of personal existence" known fully only to God.
3) Each of us is made from love and for love. Without love we cannot thrive as persons.
As this new liturgical year begins, I'll be working at overcoming habits of unlove toward self and others.

I like these distinctions Katie. But as to the Lover, are you sure she sees "the rest [i.e. what is not good] as comparatively unimportant"? What if "the rest" lead to a person's eternal undoing?

What would the difference be between a lover and an optimist, if such a difference exists?
Or is your meaning more akin to the story of the Prodigal Son, where the Father is quick to rejoice when his son has returned, rather than eager to chastise him for his transgressions?

That's a tricky one. I don't know quite how to answer. I guess I'm thinking that from the point of view of practical ethics—having in mind my own Advent intention—it hardly matters.
I'm thinking of "the sin against the Holy Spirit." I mean, I suspect (and hope) the cases are relatively rare when sin is so deep and entrenched that it overwhelms the essential good of the person as person.
I'm thinking, too, of the Pope saying, in response to a question about a homosexual: "What do you think God sees when he looks at that person?"
But maybe I'm overlooking something important that you see.

I don't think the Lover sees the "rest" as unimportant. I think the Lover, in delighting in the good visible in the other, must also feel each wound (and every entrenched sin or vice is a wound to the person who commits it) as something to sorrow over. But I agree that the Lover is one who sees the Good as essential to the person, and the faults and sins as being accidents or privations.
We've talked before here about the tendency to want to "fix" others. I see that as a trait of the Critic, as you describe her. The Critic sees all the imperfections and wants to manipulate people and situations to create conformity--to at least attain the appearance of perfection. The ways people fall short are problems to be solved.
Whereas, I think the Lover sees those same faults as wounds to be healed, or (in some cases) needs to be filled, and will tend to want to introduce those they love to the sources of Good or Healing that they themselves know best. The foremost of which is, of course, Christ.

I saw a video today in which a young man offered a $20 bill to the viewer. Then he went on to say, we don't know the past of this $20 bill. It could have been used for illegal drugs, to pay for a prostitute, it could have been stolen. We might rip it, stain it, or write on it. But even after all that, it is still a $20 bill and it is still worth $20. He used this to explain that God has given each person a value that is not diminished by what has happened to us or what we've been used for.

Outlander film locations tour Scotland
Posted on July 22, 2015 by Dave
The TV series Outlander has been a huge international success , based on the best selling novels by Diana Gabaldon, Outlander was filmed in a number of locations in castles and towns in Scotland. On this Outlander private tour we visit various locations used for filming the hit series Outlander.
Tours start at 9.30 am . Our private group tours take up to 4 people to three Outlander filming locations.
Normal pickup point is Edinburgh city centre or the airport . Other pickup points can be arranged , subject to an additional fee .
The first location on this Outlander tour is the historic town of Falkland. The town is the setting for episode one where Frank and Claire Randall come to Scotland on holiday. Falkland Palace is a historic building and shops and features can be recognised , including the town square fountain where Frank encounters Jamie's ghost watching Claire through the window.
Doune Castle was built in 1400 for the first Duke of Albany and provides the setting for Castle Leoch in Outlander. It was also the set for Winterfell in Game of Thrones and Monty Python's Holy Grail.
Doune is one of the best preserved medieval castles in Scotland.
Blackness Castle goes back to 1440 . The castle provides the setting for Fort William, as the original fort no longer exists.
The castle is long and narrow because of the shape of the rock on which it is situated and it is sometimes called ' the ship that never sailed ' . It guards the bay at Blackness and is only a few miles from Linlithgow Palace . The first castle was built in the middle of the 15th century by Sir George Crichton , Earl of Caithness , a member of one of the most powerful families in Scotland . King James II acquired Blackness in 1453 when he annexed the lands of the Crichtons . From then on the castle was mainly used as a prison . In 1543 Cardinal Beaton was held here for a month . Rebuilding started in the 1530s under the direction of Sir James Hamilton of Finnart who also worked at Linlithgow Palace and Stirling Castle . He was instructed to make the castle safe from artillery , and he achieved this by making the south and east walls very thick . A new tower was built at the south end . In the 1560s , in the reign of Mary Queen of Scots , a Spur was built to protect the main gate . In the 1870s the castle was the main ammunition depot for Scotland .The Castle is a popular location for historical re-enactments and has changed little in 600 years . Doune is one of the best preserved medieval castles in Scotland.
Hamlet has scenes filmed at Blackness Castle and Dunnottar Castle.

Todd Haley, ex-NFL coach for Chiefs, enjoying life at Riverview High School in Sarasota
He is in his first season as football offensive coordinator for the Rams
Doug Fernandes
SARASOTA — Knowing that Will Evans would be their starting quarterback this season, the Riverview Rams wanted to give the junior every possible advantage.
So, Will, say hello to Kurt Warner.
Not just anyone can arrange multiple phone conversations between a high school quarterback and one in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
But Todd Haley isn't just anyone. He was the offensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals when Warner was their quarterback and also served in that capacity in Pittsburgh and Cleveland. For three seasons he was head coach of the of the Kansas City Chiefs and had stops with the Jets, Bears and Cowboys as wide receivers coach.
Now, the 53-year-old Siesta Key resident is in his first year as the Rams' offensive coordinator. A friendship forged with former Ram TJ Nutter led to Riverview head coach Josh Smithers asking Haley whether he'd be interested in taking over for Jared Clark, who left as Rams' OC to become head coach at Cardinal Mooney.
For a guy with more than 25 years NFL coaching experience, but none at the high-school level, Haley mulled Smithers' offer before accepting back in February. He's had no regrets.
"Just really excited about it," he said, "No. 1, to be out on the football field with all the craziness that's been going on. A great group of kids and great group of coaches. It's been a great learning experience for me. It's a different world than the one I've been living the last 26 years."
Smithers said when Haley first got on the Rams' practice field, he noticed his players trying overly hard to impress him.
"Not anymore," Smithers said. "Coach is just one of the guys right now. He's been great and I think he's loving it. Just his ability to get our playmakers the ball. There's a lot of little nifty things he does and he knows how to use formations to get guys the ball. It's just what he does."
It's also a marriage of a team historically based in the ground game and a coach who loves throwing the football. In the Rams' first game, a 40-7 win over East Lake, the Rams nearly were 50-50 in their run-pass balance. But in last Friday's 7-5 victory over Southeast, a blitzing 'Nole defense gave Evans and fellow quarterback Ryan Browne little time to throw.
"A lot of it is going to be dictated by how people play us," Smithers said. "Whatever (opponents) give us, we're going to take."
It's just that Haley would rather do his taking via the air.
"But I like to win," he said. "We've got some guys with some talent on the outside. Whatever gives us the best chance to win. If running the ball 90 percent of the time does that, then I'm all for it.
"I just think it's only fair to all these kids, especially the receivers, tight ends and quarterbacks, that if you hurt people throwing it and you can keep from throwing it to the other team, you can help yourself win both ways."
Evans, who saw little time last year as backup to starter Sean White, said Haley has helped him in reading defenses. Evans won't look at a particular receiver. Instead, if one is running a deep route and one a shallow route, he'll look to see which direction the linebacker will go in coverage, then react accordingly.
"He said it's a little less time consuming," Evans said. "He said, 'I used to work 12-hour days.' But he still puts in a lot of work and tries to get us good."
Said Smithers, "Will is like a completely different kid."
Knowing the importance of the quarterback to a team's success, Haley has spent the requisite amount of time with Evans and Browne.
"When you're the quarterback, you touch the football every single snap," Haley said. "You have to be the leader of the entire group. You've gotta be smarter than everybody else, or on top of your plays more than anybody else. You've got to direct traffic and then when the ball is snapped, you've got to make good decisions.
"I've always believed in pushing guys mentally. That's what helps them develop and it starts with the quarterback. They have to do more than anybody else, think more than anybody else. You try to push that to the edge as far as you can."
But, Haley said, coaching is coaching, no matter the competition.
"As a coach you try to maximize each and every one of your player's potential. Then, if you're doing that, you're probably a good coach. I don't think the level matters. It's still coaching and that goes for business or whatever it is.
"This has been a big learning curve for me. The guys I was working with (in the NFL), it was their job. I've got to be a critic of myself and make sure we're not doing too much."
But, so far, Todd Haley has enjoyed his time under the Friday night lights. Which means the Rams may not have to look for another offensive coordinator anytime soon.
'Yeah, I could see myself doing this," he said. "As long as I get better."

Q: Solutions of differential equation given one solution
My thoughts are that
the second and third options are false. About the others, I am not sure.

A: Since $x(t) = e^{2t}t$ is a solution, the solutions must take the form
$$x(t) = (t+B)e^{2t},$$
where I substituted $A = 1$ into the general solution
$$x(t) = (At+B)e^{2t}.$$
EDIT: Based upon MathIsFun's comment below, I have revised my thoughts on which are correct expressions. The first and fourth expressions are correct, the second and third are not. So you should tick their boxes accordingly (Blank, Blank, Tick, Blank)

A: *

*The ODE is linear and homogenous, hence if $x(t)$ is a solution then $\lambda x(t)$ is an other solution for all $\lambda$.

*The coefficients in the ODE are constant. So, say that $x(t)=te^{2t}$ is a solution means that the associated characteristic equation has a double rout $r=2$. Thus, the general solution is: $x(t)=(a+bt)e^{2t},\qquad \forall a,b\in\mathbb{R}.$

I'm certain you're aware of the explosion in recognition of iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad applications. Even if you don't personal 1 of these devices, you've probably noticed one of Apple's commercials showing how amazingly fun or helpful all their apps are.
Businesses are obtaining into the app craze by the thousands. Not only are new companies being formed to develop apps, but many existing companies are building their own apps, either as an additional income stream or just as a way to build their brand.
In reality, a lot of businesses are starting to believe of apps as the new website: every business should have one!
Here's some thing to think about: who's actually building all these apps?
There's presently a huge disparity in between provide and demand when it comes to iOS development. The iOS platform didn't even exist 3 years ago, and all of a sudden there are tens of thousands of businesses and individuals desperately searching for individuals to build their apps.
It's a great time to be an iOS developer. Obviously new app companies have a need for developers, but even the large established companies require people. You don't have to look far to find places searching to hire, and you can also do great working as a consultant or freelancer. Many businesses aren't searching to develop an app in-house if app development isn't a core component of their business.
In addition, no matter where you're situated in the world, there probably isn't a lot of outsourcing for iOS development. It's just too new a platform. Off-shore development shops like to focus on large, established platforms for which certifications are accessible. This is why.NET and other Microsoft platforms are so huge in the outsourcing globe, while open supply platforms are comparatively limited. The iOS platform is nonetheless only a few years old, and Apple has however to create an official certification program.
I anticipate this demand is only going to continue, at least in the brief term of the subsequent few years. The iPhone is nonetheless hugely well-liked, and is continuing to be added to new carriers, which means new users. The iPad's growth has been huge even in the fairly brief time it's been accessible.
Another aspect not to discount is the Mac App Shop. I expect it to only get much more popular as it becomes further integrated with Mac OS X Lion. If you're an iOS developer, it's only a extremely short jump to building Mac apps.
Learning to create apps doesn't have to be hard -- although the language, Objective-C, is new to most, there's lots of documentation available, whether it be from Apple's website, books, courses, or online tutorials. Even if you're currently employed, it's a fantastic ability to have in your back pocket.

Sidecar Doughnuts are seriously the best Doughnuts ever made. In fact, they make every other "donut" shop look just plain amateur.
Located on hip 17th Street in Costa Mesa, Sidecar always hosts a long line outside the door – especially on the weekends. It's no wonder, because they make their Doughnuts from scratch daily with house made glazes, fillings, and toppings.
Sidecar uses seasonal ingredients, too, for special "Monthly Flavors" like November's Pumpkin Fool and Apple Fritter – the perfect solution for breakfast on Thanksgiving Day.
Past favorites of mine include Blackberry & Rose Geranium with Edible Flowers, and classics like Rocky Road. Regular "Daily Flavors" not to be missed include Maple Bacon and Butter & Salt.
If you can't wait until Thanksgiving to enjoy them, I don't blame you. 'Tis the season of eating.
P.S. Make sure to grab a bite of the free doughnut samples while standing in line.

Q: Django South added model to admin but gives DatabaseError I've just started using south with an existing app, and after adding new models to the db, I can view the models in the admin, but when clicking on them to view the model details an error
I try to do the south equivalent of syncdb:
python manage.py schemamigration directory --initial

python manage.py migrate directory

where directory is the app name.
So when i try and view the model in admin I get the following:
Exception Type: DatabaseError

Exception Value: (1146, "Table 'omada.directory_drift' doesn't exist")

where Drift is the model I added to models.py, then registered in admin.py - omada is the site name.
Further Information:
Traceback from the django site ends with:
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py" in execute

  114.             return self.cursor.execute(query, args) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.4b5-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/MySQLdb/cursors.py" in execute
  201.             self.errorhandler(self, exc, value) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.4b5-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/MySQLdb/connections.py" in defaulterrorhandler
  36.     raise errorclass, errorvalue

When executing
python manage.py migrate directory

I get an error that starts with:
FATAL ERROR - The following SQL query failed: CREATE TABLE `directory_building`
 ! Since you have a database that does not support running
 ! schema-altering statements in transactions, we have had
 ! to leave it in an interim state between migrations.

which doesn't sound very promising :S, and ends with:
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.4b5-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 36, in defaulterrorhandler
    raise errorclass, errorvalue
django.db.utils.DatabaseError: (1050, "Table 'directory_building' already exists")

Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to read this and offer help!

A: You may find this guide useful.
Since you are only starting with South I would advice to start all over:

*

*Drop your south table (south_migrationhistory) from your database

*Delete the migrations from the app.migrations folder

*Follow the guide

It is quite easy to get South in a bad state so you just need to get some experience with it. You however can't live without it as your projects grow in size.

Hey, I recently have become a well-known player on Hypixel and i tried to Apply for staff which i was more than likely going to get but after they researched my account they came across a ban on a server from 2016 that i had no idea about and it was the only thing stopping me from receiving a staff rank on Hypixel because they require my account to have a clean record.
I was going to make a support ticket on your forums but it is broken and not working.
I humbly ask that the ban is removed from my account as the server that i was banned on does not exist.
I have investigated the ban in question and found that the server had negative reputation due to inactivity.
As a result, the server has been disabled and the global ban against you will no longer appear on your record.

Marriott International, the world's largest luxury hotelier, has announced that it "hit a record for organic rooms signing and ended the year with a record global pipeline." The company said that it signed management and franchise agreements on 816 properties with a combined total of 125,000 rooms. But that's not all – Marriott also opened nearly 500 additional properties, contributing a further 80,000 rooms to its global total.
By the end of 2018, Marriott's worldwide total number of properties stood in excess of an enviable 6,900, providing luxury travellers with access to over 1.3 hotel rooms in 130 countries and territories. Last year, the company entered a number of new markets (Finland, New Zealand, Lithuania, Mali, and Ukraine) and its pipeline hit a new record of 478,000 rooms.
Capuano is right that there's cause for optimism: according to the latest STR data, Marriott's luxury pipeline is bigger than that of its three largest competitors combined!
Marriott owns luxury brands including The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, JW Marriott and Edition brand. Stripping out the company's acquisition of Starwood in 2016 to focus on its history of organic growth, the company added more rooms last year than ever before.

Marie Claire Australia|December 2020
The trailblazing '60s action heroine broke boundaries in The Avengers, captured James Bond's heart, and stole every scene in Game of Thrones. Hannah Rose Yee charts the legacy of the late great star of stage and screen
The world's most famous secret agent is open to anything, as long as there are cards involved. The card table is where we first meet 007 in Dr. No, when Sean Connery's James Bond, resplendent in a dinner jacket and brimming with machismo, wins big at baccarat.
However, by 1969, the world of Bond was in a state of flux no card game could fix. After five films, Connery had stashed his Aston Martin in the garage. For On Her Majesty's Secret Service, producers drafted in an Australian model named George Lazenby to play the cunning agent with a license to kill. Lazenby had big shoes to fill. To give him the cinematic equivalent of scaffolding, producers searched for an established female lead to star as Tracy, the only woman in the 007 canon who finishes the film as Mrs. Bond. They decided on Diana Rigg, a 31-year-old theatre doyenne turned global television star.
In Dr. No, it's Bond, James Bond, whom we meet over baccarat. But in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, it's Tracy who sidles up to the table and recklessly places a bet she can't cover, chasing it down with a coupe of '67 Dom Pérignon. "There are moments in the film where she's kind of Jane Bond," explains Dr Lisa Funnell, author of For His Eyes Only: The Women of James Bond. It's Tracy who drives the fast car – "and drives it well!" she says – and, at the end of the movie, rescues Bond from certain death. "This is the Diana Rigg James Bond film," says Funnell.
Diana Rigg was born on July 20, 1938. Her father was an engineer in India and Rigg's childhood there, she says, was a "wonderful adventure". At eight, she was dispatched to a rigid English boarding school, where she was desperately unhappy. Drama became both her form of rebellion and her means of escape after a teacher told her about auditions for the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Rigg was 17 and already engaged to be married. Her parents told her that she could only audition if she ended the betrothal, so she broke off the relationship and headed to London.
She was in heaven: she was studying, partying, dating ("Cheap plonk and … heavy petting" was how she described it), and had plenty of plays to sneak into.

Hull Hang In The Balance At 1/5 For Relegation
on May 16, 2015 at 6:00 pm
Added to betslip Hull City To Be Relegated
Hull's relegation fate is all but sealed having suffered at 2-0 defeat to Tottenham.
Lying third from bottom they have shortened even further to go down to the Championship and can now be backed at 1/5 from 4/11.
It was a case of too little too late for bottom of the table QPR when they secured a 2-1 win over Newcastle. Newcastle continue to hang just above the relegation line but have been pushed out to 6/1 from 11/2.
Sunderland remain in contention for relegation and although they did not manage three points over Leicester they are currently the biggest priced side to go down at 8/1.
Hull may be 1/5 to go down to the Championship but the biggest loser in the book is Newcastle. Punters have been opting for Newcastle at 6/1 after their shock defeat to QPR.
Sunderland are still in danger of relegation with three points separating them and third from bottom Hull but it will take a lot for the Black Cats to lose the run of themselves now.

What Is the Common App Essay?
Once you want to enter the university of your dream, you need to come up with a decent common app essay. The task may seem to be easy. However, once you get started, you will find out that the assignment is more complicated than it seems.
For this reason, we decided to put an ease on your writing process and provide some useful tips on how to write a common app essay. At the same time, you are free to hire our professional writers to write the paper for you. Here on our website, you can also come across a worthy common app essay examples.
How to Write a Common App Essay?
The first and foremost mistake when writing a common app essay is the effort put your entire life in one paper. No one would hardly appreciate reading hundreds of words describing your entire life. Always keep in mind that a typical common app essay should never exceed 650 words, so do not try to squeeze your full story in those 650 words. Here we are at tip #1 – think small.
Describe the key moments of your life, highlight the most overwhelming achievements, speak of competition you managed to win on the last second. Or tell your readers about the situation when you had to put your life at risk or had your back in a tight corner during vacation. Do not just list your most valuable personal qualities. Indicate the features that refer to real-life experience and prove they may come in handy in future.
Every time you are at a loss when writing a common app essay or, for example, a narrative essay, stop for a second and think of what you are trying to say about yourself. Make sure you are using a compelling and specific example when telling a particular story. Think small and narrow down your ideas to real-life occasions and experience you had.
Another common mistake is to edit your paper during the writing process. It is wrong. Fist you need to write and only then start editing. Writing a good common app example essay is a tough process, and it calls for maximum inspiration and creativity. Do not focus on your grammar. Just write down your thoughts and try to arrange them into a logically connected paper. When you are done, have a rest for half an hour, refresh your brain and only then edit the paper.

Q: Using the convolution formula for density $X,Y$ are independent and $Z=X+Y$.
$f_X(x)=\begin{cases} \frac{1}{5}x & 0\leq x\leq 5 \\ 0 & else \end{cases}$
$f_Y(y)=\begin{cases} \frac{1}{2}y & 0\leq y\leq 2 \\ 0 & else \end{cases}$
I want to calculate the density $f_Z(z)$ of $Z$.
Using the convolution formula: $f_Z(u)=\int_{\mathbb{R}} f_X(x)f_Y(u-x) dx=\int_0^5 (\frac{1}{5}x)(\frac{1}{2}(u-x)1_{\{0\leq u-x \leq 2\}}) dx=\frac{1}{10}\int_0^5 (xu-x^{2})1_{\{u-2\leq x \leq u \}}dx=\frac{1}{10}\int_{max(0,u-2)}^{min(5,u)} xu-x^{2} dx$
How do I proceed with the integral limits?

A: It is correct to write
\begin{aligned}
f_Z(u) &= \frac{1}{10}\int_{\max (0,u-2)}^{\min (5,u)} xu - x^2 \,\mathrm{d}x \\ &= \frac{u}{10}\int_{\max (0,u-2)}^{\min (5,u)} x \,\mathrm{d}x - \frac{1}{10} \int_{\max (0,u-2)}^{\min (5,u)} x^2 \,\mathrm{d}x \\
&= \frac{u \left(\min (5,u)^2 - \max (0,u-2)^2\right)}{20}  - \frac{\min (5,u)^3 - \max (0,u-2)^3}{30} \\
&= \left\lbrace\begin{array}{ll}
\displaystyle\frac{u^3}{60}  &\text{if}\quad u < 2 \\
\displaystyle\frac{u^3 - u (u-2)^2}{20} - \frac{u^3 - (u-2)^3}{30} &\text{if}\quad 2 < u < 5 \\
\displaystyle\frac{25 u - u (u-2)^2}{20} - \frac{125 - (u-2)^3}{30} &\text{if}\quad 5 < u
\end{array}\right.
\end{aligned}

The Worst Data Breaches of All Time
Cyber Security in Big Business
Data breaches have been happening more and more as of late. Cybersecurity is becoming more and more important. So much, in fact, that it has become a 75 billion dollar industry. We decided to compile a list of some of the most significant data breaches in modern history and tell you what TED Systems can do to keep your customer and employee information secure.
Yahoo's Data Breach: Three Billion Users
One of the largest companies to first experience data breach was Yahoo. In 2016, Yahoo announced that the information of nearly a billion users had been compromised in 2013. That number later increased to three billion users with the announcement in 2014. Three years later, after discovering the data breach, Yahoo took protective steps for all users in December, like resetting passwords and unencrypted security questions. These steps should have been in practice before this huge data breach occurred, but Yahoo dropped the ball, and by the time they discovered the problem, they were already leagues behind Google in the internet browsing market.
MySpace's Data Breach: 360 Million Users
You remember MySpace, right? Well, after the company dominated the early stages of social media in the early-2000's, MySpace soon found themselves under the attack of a Russian hacker, the same person responsible for the LinkedIn and Tumblr attacks, attempted to sell nearly 360 million user accounts, email addresses, and passwords. Some of those accounts even included people such as Michael Jordan and Blink-182.
Sony Online Entertainment Services' Data Breach: 100 Million Users
Mostly known among the online gaming community, Sony's PlayStation Network also had its services compromised in 2011 after hackers compromised the personal information of more than 100 million PlayStation Network users, leading the PlayStation Network to go dark for more than three weeks following the attack. The estimated cleanup cost after 65 class-action lawsuits? Nearly $171 million.
Equifax's Data Breach: 145 Million Users
The data breach that people are probably most familiar with is the 2017 hack of the consumer-credit-reporting agency, Equifax. While the breach compromised nearly 145 million users and is not the largest data breach ever, it was quite possibly the most damaging to date. Hackers were able to gain access to names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and driver's license numbers, leaving all of the users susceptible to identity theft. Making matters worse, Equifax waited three months to inform the public about the intrusion and blamed the lack of notifying the public on the matter being "complex and time-consuming."
Protect Your Information
These cautionary tales should have you asking yourself, "Is the information of my customers and employees secure enough?" If you feel it is not as secure as it could be there is something you can do.
You can prevent your company's information and intellectual property from ending up in the wrong hands by having a proper access control system installed at your place of business. This is the best way to ensure that your structures, employees, visitors, physical assets, and data are protected from unwanted intrusion, damage, theft, and misuse.
Access control also prevents unwanted access and disruption to your business operation(s), overcrowding in areas with set occupancy rates, and can be easily controlled and monitored from a centralized security office. From entryway to enterprise level, access control systems are designed to deliver maximum protection for commercial offices, healthcare or educational facilities, and industrial or manufacturing plants.
TED Systems will install the access control and security system that fits your businesses needs. You owe it to your employees and to yourself to give your business effective safety and security systems.

Civil War's 1863 Battle of Galveston Remembered
By STUART VILLANUEVA The Daily News
Stuart Villanueva
The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, Lt. Cmdr. Edward Lea U.S.N.-Camp Number 2 hosted a commemoration ceremony at Trinity Episcopal Cemetery in Galveston on Saturday to mark the Jan. 1, 1863 Battle of Galveston.
The battle, fought between Union and Confederate forces on sea and land, resulted in the Confederacy expelling occupying Union troops from Galveston.
Lt. Commander Edward Lea, a Union naval officer, was killed aboard his ship, the USS Harriet Lane, during the battle. After being mortally wounded, he was found by his father, Albert Lea, a major in the Confederate Army, who was present at the battle and boarded the ship to check on the welfare of his son.

I think that this is why we should leave all monuments alone and our schools start teaching the difference between "rememberance" of a person or event and "honoring" those people or events. Hopefully, it would aid in our avoiding those shortcomings in the future.
Mark Stevens Jan 12, 2021 5:35am
Brings back a fond memory and some reflection. When I was growing up in La Marque, I was doing some chore in the garden when I dug up a ... cannon ball. My dad disposed of it because he thought it might be explosive ordinance. Regrettably. Years later I read about the Battle of Galveston, and how Confederate troops were assembled at Virginia point, and their ships stationed elsewhere. In school, we were taught only that La Marque was know to confederate soldiers as "Buttermilk Station." No mention of the Galveston Battle. Years later I started putting things together...maybe. The railroad at the time appears to have stopped at or near La Marque. Galveston Bay was only a few miles to the East. My guess is that our house stood near the site of a supply dump and the cannon ball was just one that somebody lost or forgot in 1862-63. Looking back, it should have been a stark reminder of the Civil War, and its effects which last to our day....Mark W. Stevens

[thumbup] Great story. After the Civil War there was a large surplus stock of glass photographic plates - photos taken by journalists that never made it into the papers. People would buy them in bulk and use them to build greenhouses. I wonder if there was a similar trade in surplus confederate cannon balls - I suppose a clever Texan could think of some use for them around the farm.


This has been a very hard year. Many changes, fewer volunteers, fewer hours to do the same amount of work. Ferals result in more friendlies, without more fosters, the flow in must be halted. Therefore, our feral surgeries will stop on 11/1. The friendlies we have on hand at that time will get their surgeries as they get old enough but no new kittens will be accepted after 11/1.
This is not easy to say "no", but we are working with a limited resource – our time and our health. There has to be a reduction in workload somewhere so that the people involved in Feral Fixers can go on next year.
If you trap, you are responsible for arranging spay/neuter, contacting rescues for placement of any kittens/friendlies. You can contact DuPage County Animal Services, ADOPT Pet Shelter, Catnap From The Heart, PAWS, SPAY IL or your own local vet. We will not be doing any scheduling until the weather breaks in the Spring – around April most likely.
Every shelter is currently full of cats and kittens. Despite our efforts, kittens are still being born and there are not enough adoptions. Rescues continue to bring cats in from out of area and out of state, further limiting our resources. Rescues continue to allow females to give birth, even when they are not sure how pregnant the female is – sometimes waiting almost the entire gestation period of 9 weeks.
We currently have 44 adoptable cats and kittens on our Petfinder page. We have more kittens that just came in and will have to be fostered and neutered before posting for adoption. Please share our adoptables with friends and family so that we can get our "new" friendlies into foster and on their own way to new homes!
30 Cats and more to come!
This post has some pics from today, 10/23. There are 30 traps and transfers in my garage, a few with multiple kittens inside because I ran out of traps on hand! Hopefully no one will poop on another's head! Tomorrow a very few kittens will be going on to foster but the rest will most likely stay in traps for another few days until they can find a foster. Or be in a cage in my basement – not a bad place but not ideal. Fall kittens are kind of late this year, usually the rush is at the beginning of September, not towards the end of October.
Remember, we count on you, our "public" to speak for us, forward our adoption event information – this weekend, 10/27, tell people to fill out our adoption applications in advance, be pre-approved for that special cat that is coming their way! And bear with us during this year end, we want to be here, neutering our butts off next year!
Since our last update, we have made 4 s/n trips and one single cat was neutered at Glen Ellyn Animal Hospital. In all, there were 36 ferals, 23 friendlies, with a few already neutered cats, there were a total of 54 surgeries for October so far, bringing the year's total to 534 and the total since our beginning to 10,851. Many thanks to Charli, Debbie, and Dedra, for transporting cats this month! Couldn't do it without you!
