Q: django at extra_context 'unicode' object does not support item assignment I have this model admin class where I need to add an extra variable for my custom template:
class ArticleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def change_view(self, request, extra_context=None):
        extra_context = extra_context or {}
        print extra_context
        extra_context["show_save_as_draft"] = True
        return super(ArticleAdmin, self).changelist_view(request, extra_context=extra_context)

While testing it I hit this error:
TypeError at /admin/news/article/4/
'unicode' object does not support item assignment

In trace back, I got this following:
/home/sadaf2605/PycharmProjects/stripe/stripe/news/admin.py in change_view
        extra_context["show_save_as_draft"] = True ...
▼ Local     vars
Variable    Value
self    <news.admin.ArticleAdmin object at 0x7f2ad3eb21d0>
extra_context   u'4'

as we can see extra_context is called with 4 here, how should I treat this?

A: That's not the correct signature for the change_view method. It should be:
def change_view(self, request, object_id, form_url='', extra_context=None):

You've missed out the object_id param, so the value (4)  is going into extra_context instead.
Remember to update your super call as well.

A:
please check the super method call, you define a method
  change_view,but in super you specified changelist_view, so there is a
  mismatched function calls

class ArticleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
def change_view(self, request, extra_context=None):
    extra_context = extra_context or {}
    print extra_context
    extra_context["show_save_as_draft"] = True
    return super(ArticleAdmin, self).change_view(request, extra_context=extra_context)

Bernard Champoux
On September 6th, our husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and great grandfather Bernie, passed over from this world to the next part of his journey. The last few years of his life here on earth were a struggle and we celebrate his release while feeling deeply the loss of his presence.
Bernie's life was filled with family. Bernie and the love of his life, Fay, were married for 57 years. In that time they created a clan that included 3 daughters and a son, 12 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. They were closely connected to an extended family that often included friends who became family. Bernie loved gatherings of the clan, Fay's cooking, card games, dogs, horses, fishing, and enjoyed a very successful career as a heavy equipment operator.
Bernie will be remembered as a generous, dedicated, stubborn, loving, mischievous man with a warm smile and a big heart.
His family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Cairnsmore for their loving care of Bernie in the last months of his life. No services are planned at this time, but a celebration of his life will take place at a later date. Online condolences can be posted at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Experts of investment and constructing holding Rodex Group explain the supposed price growth in Moscow region real estate market in 2010-2011 by lack of ready objects.
Company account says that "such wide spread is conditioned by credit restrictions charged to a company-developer. If the company has some restrictions, the price for objects in the village of this developer is to stagnate or increase slightly within 10%.
In case a company has no credit restrictions or the restrictions are minor, by the autumn, 2010 the price can increase by 50%. Real estate experts believe that the most advantageous objects in Moscow region are the options in villages on the primarily stage of readiness, or projects being carried out by experienced companies.
Analysts suppose that price for such buildings will be increasing by 20% quarterly.

Cleopatra & Marc: Together Forever?
TOMB RAIDERS
Updated Apr. 25, 2017 3:19PM ET / Published Apr. 20, 2009 8:18PM ET
Breaking news from ancient Egypt: Archaeologists suspect star-crossed lovers Cleopatra and Marc Antony are buried together in a temple near Alexandria. The scientists have been excavating the temple for three years, and they think they're close to finding Cleopatra's tomb—they've found an alabaster head from a Cleopatra statue and a mask they believe belonged to Marc Antony. "We know from Plutarch they were buried together, and it took her permission to be buried in Alexandria," said the general secretary of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities. The lovers committed suicide in 30 B.C., after their defeat in the battle of Actium.

Q: Show ProgressView when Exporting File in SwiftUI I am trying to show a ProgressView when trying to export a file. The file is a large file and I am using fileExporter modifier. Having a ProgressView within a ZStack and setting the zIndex to 1 does not work. I also tried to put the long operation (getting the document) into a DispatchQueue but the challenge there is that it is not a View and does not compile. Below is the code that I currently have.
Here is what I am expecting:
After I press the "Export File" button, I should see a spinning circle while the document is being created (in this case the 2 second sleep command that simulates the long operation).
After that the "Move" sheet from fileExporter should be presented
Any help is very much appreciated.
Here is a sample application:
struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var isExporting: Bool = false

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button(action: {
                isExporting = true
            }, label: {
                Text("Export File")
            })
                .padding()
            if isExporting {
                ProgressView() {
                    ZStack{}
                    .fileExporter(isPresented: $isExporting, document: FileExport(contents: "This is a simple Text"), contentType: .plainText) { result in
                        if case .success = result {
                            print(try! result.get())
                            print("File Saved")
                        } else {
                            print("File Not Saved")
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

struct FileExport: FileDocument {
    static var readableContentTypes: [UTType] {[.plainText]}

    var contents: String

    init(contents: String) {
        self.contents = contents
        sleep(2) // simulate a long operation
    }

    init(configuration: ReadConfiguration) throws {
        contents = ""
    }

    func fileWrapper(configuration: WriteConfiguration) throws -> FileWrapper {
        return FileWrapper(regularFileWithContents: contents.data(using: .utf8)!)
    }
}

A: You have a few problems in your code. First of all, your ProgressView() is not actually contained in a ZStack. The only ZStack you are showing does not contain anything, as the contents would have to be inside the curly braces. In a situation like this, you could generally just wrap your entire view in a ZStack.
Next, your own views don't generally take trailing closures like that. You didn't include your ProgressView code, but the code you have shown would be nonsensical to have as a trailing closure, so I don't think that was your intention. So, I removed the open curly brace the appropriate close curly brace.
When all of this is said and done, the view will show, but it will still be below the file export window. I have never found any way of placing a view above an OS sheet like this. I have seen some "solutions" if it is your sheet, but they were not really recommended.
Also, I am not sure how you are getting data back to show a progress view, other than just as a continuous spinner. I could not find anywhere in the docs where Apple gives you access to that data.
Lastly, because you are keying your progress view to the isPresented var isExporting means your ProgressView() will dismiss when the FileExport sheet does.
Also, while it seems to work with the .fileExporter inside the conditional if block, it feels wrong to me, and I would move it to another part of the view. It just seems like a bad practice.
FWIW, here is the "working" code, but I don't see how you can actually accomplish your goals:
struct FileExporter: View {
    @State private var isExporting: Bool = false

    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            VStack {
                Button(action: {
                    isExporting = true
                }, label: {
                    Text("Export File")
                })
                    .padding()

                if isExporting {
                    ProgressView() // { No brace would go here
                        .fileExporter(isPresented: $isExporting, document: FileExport(contents: "This is a simple Text"), contentType: .plainText) { result in
                            if case .success = result {
                                print(try! result.get())
                                print("File Saved")
                            } else {
                                print("File Not Saved")
                            }
                        }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

If you want to implement a solution that shows a progress view (bar or spinner), I think you would have to roll your own.

A: Here is a possible solution. There may be a better way to do this! I am using a ZStack{}to attach the fileExporter. Is there a different way or other solution?
struct ContentView: View {

    @State private var isExporting: Bool = false
    @State private var isLoading: Bool = false
    @State private var document: FileExport? = nil

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button(action: {
                isExporting = true
                isLoading = true
                DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async {
                    document = FileExport(contents: "This is a simple text")

                    DispatchQueue.main.async {
                        isLoading = false
                    }
                }
            }, label: {
                Text("Export File")
            })
                .padding()

            if isLoading {
                ProgressView()
                    .zIndex(1.0)
            }

            if isExporting && !isLoading {
                ZStack {}
                    .fileExporter(isPresented: $isExporting, document: document, contentType: .plainText) { result in
                        if case .success = result {
                            print(try! result.get())
                            print("File Saved")
                        } else {
                            print("File Not Saved")
                        }
                    }

Rumors, fear of terrorism stifle Okinawan tourism
By: Takeshi Shimabukuro (KC)
Around this season every year, the main streets of Naha and all other tourist spots are the sea of white, black or blue school uniforms as students from
mainland make Okinawa one of their favorite destinations on their school trip. These school trips are an important source of revenue for every tourism related company in Okinawa, but this year is different. Streets are much quieter with significantly fewer school trips coming here compared to previous years.
Sudden awareness of terrorism following the events in New York on Sep. 11 has had an impact far over the ocean on Okinawa. Tourism is the second largest income earner on this subtropical island, and fortunes have a big influence to the whole Okinawan economic development.
"Safety" is the key word here. Following the situation in the United States and the war in Afghanistan, Okinawa has become a target of suspicion by travelers from mainland, fears fueled by daily reports in the Japanese media on how the bases have beefed up their security, and the news that the National Police Agency has dispatched hundreds of extra riot police here. All this has unnerved especially group travelers who all know that Okinawa is the island where the largest US military bases in Japan are located. What if something happens? Many people must have thought so, as the number of tourists, mostly school groups, who have cancelled their trips, is well over 100,000 and climbing, according to the Resort Bureau of Okinawa Prefectural Government.
The impact of the decrease to the island's economic look will be severe. The Research Section of the Bank of the Ryukyus reports that if the number of tourists to Okinawa decreases 10 % (467,000 people), and based on the Prefectural economic forecasts through March 2002, the tourism income will fall by ¥48 billion. The unemployment will rise 0.4%, meaning an increase of 2,400 unemployed people, and the overall economic growth will change from 0.8% increase to 0.7% negative this year.
In addition, the situation has grown worse for new graduates seeking employment and part time workers. Followed by a wave of cancellations, one large hotel in Okinawa has decided to revoke job offers to 70 freshmen. Also, 20 % of all part time workers at the hotel were ordered to stay home and wait until the situation improves. Other hotels have decided to employ only half of the usual number of temporary workers.
Ohama, the head of the Urgent Task Force Headquarters of Okinawa Convention and Visitors' Bureau says, "One of Okinawa's peak tour seasons is Oct. and Nov. and there's no easy way to remedy the situation quickly. We are struggling hard to counter prevailing rumors, and are ready go to mainland, and any place, to explain 'Okinawa is SAFE.' But it's hard." He confesses to be skeptical. "We think the situation will not turn around within a year."
The Commerce and Industry, Labor Department of Okinawa Prefectural Government has launched formal countermeasures to cope with the situation and aid hotels facing economic hardships. On Oct. 17, officials set up a Center for Urgent Economic Help Counseling at the Management and Financial Section of the Prefectural Government. An advisory center was also established, and the government decided to ease the requirements for financial aid to tourism related companies including hotels, inns, taxis and buses.
Prefecture officials have sent letters in the name of Okinawa Governor Keiichi Inamine, to schools planning to make tours to Okinawa and tourist agents, explaining that Okinawa is a safe place to visit and not to worry about the threat of terrorism. Governor Inamine traveled to Tokyo to make formal petitions to the Government Cabinet Office, the Ministry of National Land and Transportation, and the Ministry of Education and Science. Officials at the Ministry of Education and Science promised to give appropriate help citing the eruption Mt. Usu in Hokkaido as an example of possible financial aid.
On Oct. 15, the OCVB organized a big outdoor convention under the name "Safe and Comfortable Okinawa Sightseeing." Around 600 people from tourism related companies gathered at the convention, and promised to "fight against rumors and assert Okinawa is safe!"
At the same time, not everyone is afraid, and some school groups are cheering up Okinawa. Atsugi Higashi High School students set up banners on the sides of their tour buses stating "Chibariyo (Cheer up in Okinawan dialect) Okinawa" and "Ganbare (Cheer up in Japanese) Uchinanchu (Okinawan in Okinawan dialect)." The principal of the school says, "it would be a precious memory for students if we could see the real Okinawa as Okinawans see it, that's why we decided to come."
Ohama says, "we are very encouraged by such schools." He continues, "Okinawa is the only place within Japan damaged by terrorism rumors. Okinawa has large U.S. bases and the bilateral security system will not change instantly. Unexpectedly, we find ourselves with a heavy damage to our main industry."
Those tourists who have arrived at Okinawa do not worry. A couple in their 50's visiting Shuri Castle National Park smiled and said, "Nobody has to worry about the situation in Okinawa. We feel so now, after seeing some tourist spots and driving around. Everything seems very ordinary and safe. People are too sensitive." He blames newspapers and TV for much of the rumors. "News reporting has made a big sensation of the possible danger of a to trip to Okinawa. But it is all inside of the bases. Normal tourists do not have to worry at all." But still, he adds, " In the case of a school trip, I can understand, if one parent opposes going to Okinawa, and then the worry gets around quickly, so maybe the school would think of canceling."
Two 22-year-old men sightseeing Okinawa said, "Before coming here, we thought about the possible danger a bit, but actually, there is nothing to worry. There is no check of belongings in hotels, roads, or resorts. So no worry for us."
On the other hand, a 55-year-old housewife from Aichi Prefecture walking around the Shuri Castle, says, "we came because we had already made a reservation long time ago. So we thought canceling would be like throwing money away. But if we had not made a reservation, we would have not dared to come and visit." She continues, "So far, it is safe around here, but we cannot know about later situation."
Hard times seem to continue for Okinawa's tourism industry. How far the industry can go to persuade the mainland market is the key point in welcoming back the tourists and to sustain the Okinawan economy itself.


GTR 8000 Feature Update & New Voting Comparator!
* GTR 8000 station coming out that will support conventional analog operation with integrated 4-wire audio as well as v.24 data for support of analog & mixed-mode operation using normal interface methods (TRC & DIU interfaces). DC keying will NOT be an option. Tone, E&M or Digital only.
* MLC 8000 analog IP comparator coming out (1Q 2012) that will support analog operation including voting and simulcast transmit. Uses IP as the transport medium. Allows a customer to build a simulcast system using only these devices, a GPS reference, and of course a base radio. This product is going to be incredible! No more channel banks, T-1's, or other ancillary nonsense. Just connect the MLC 8000 remote units to a master MLC 8000 comparator, add a little GPS to each site (including the master), and you've got voting & simulcast. Bon Voyage, DIGITAC. At least that's the theory as I understand it, do not quote me on this one.
* GTR 8000 ESS (Expandable Site Subsystem) for conventional operation including integrated RFDS (RF Distribution Subsystem). One cabinet solution including multicouplers & combiners for up to 6 conventional channels in analog, digital, or mixed mode operation.
Looks like the GTR 8000 is really going to be able to take over the Quantar's position in the market after all.
Re: GTR 8000 Feature Update & New Voting Comparator!
I see this taking along time to be implemented past 1Q 12, just my 2cents.

Seems pretty cool - but I bet it would struggle if you put the internet between the sites. If you have your own dark fiber network or you stick to same provider type internet connections it will probably work pretty great.... Considering pretty much everything is going over IP it makes sense to finally do voting over IP.
I think the idea is to use private microwave or leased IP circuits to handle the transport. i.e. Motorola PTP series microwave, etc.
We have several customers who run their networks using private microwave that is IP based. They currently use manual transmitter steering and RAD IPMux devices to handle the transport. This will give them some major advantages... I hope it's somewhat reasonably priced.
If the comparator / sim controller / site controller has enough buffering, even the public internet should be okay. However, expect significant bulk delays on the order of 50ms to 500ms or more to accumulate all the packets. If the system employs dynamic timing to keep it as short as possible, all the better. People are kinda used to "echo" from latency in cellphones. They will probably accept this too. Looking forward to learning about the new gear.
I believe the MLC does astro and mixed mode conventional as well.
For those interested in knowing more about Motorola's new comparators, the manual [6871019P09-A] for the GCM8000 comparator is now available on MOL.
trunked IP simulcast subsystems or centralized and distributed conventional architectures.
Quantar is being canceled the end of this year, so in typical moto fashion gtr will most likely gain analog and mixed mode support sometime after that. It should work with astrotac's and diu's as long as ur using 4 wire or v.24. Astro modems are not supported.
[quote="xmo"]For those interested in knowing more about Motorola's new comparators, the manual [6871019P09-A] for the GCM8000 comparator is now available on MOL.
I cannot find the manual on MOL, any suggestions?
Also, for a great look at where Motorola is going with the evolution of conventional systems including the GTR8000 and other products, download the Conventional Webinar.mp4 file from the Motorola User Groups web site.
Please correct me if I wrong. There is no Astro 9600 modem linking support in GTR8000. But there is a port for ASYNC COMMs that is still in NOT USED / FUTURE USAGE state. And finally I am limited to Ethernet, V.24 and WireLine only. If I am right, I have the only question: what can I do with _rear_ Ethernet ports connectivity If I have only Base Radio/Repeater, but not the rest G-series things (like GCP, GPW, GCM, etc.). I know how to deal with frontal Ethernet port of course.
BTW, ASYNC port can be used, but in IntelliRepeater 3600 configuration only. But not in others.
If you only have another GTR station, you can RT/RT the stations together over IP via the rear ports.
Thanks! Are you sure about rear port(s) that they can work for CSS? Because they are all described as Site connectors (to Site / to Switch). If they can be used for CSS, it's good, because rear port(s) can be set for desired IP address (but frontal port cannot).
I already did RT/RT with AstroTAC, and it works! So I got RX extender. LOL.
Also, guys, do you know the name of software that shows current statuses of your Motorola net/hardware (GTR and/or Quantar). Something like dashboard, admin panel, etc. In GTR papers I read about UNC (Unified Network Configurator what is actually 2 tools: EMC Smarts Network Configuration Manager and VoyenceControl). But looks like they are only for loading images and configuration to the devices.
I've been told the front port is special as there is a DHCP server running to support connection of laptops w/o the need for a fixed address.
Also your comments re RT-RT mode, I expect you mentioned to say "without an AstroTAC"?
Astro Spectra wrote: Also your comments re RT-RT mode, I expect you mentioned to say "without an AstroTAC"?
With AstroTAC. Why not? It's usual Quantar but with no Exciter and PA. So, it can be connected to GTR in RT-RT mode and provides second RX channel or another (far) location to GTR.

UNC is an Astro25 7.x system-level configuration GUI. It basically takes the individual item config changes you would make in EMC and translates them into a web GUI. It runs parallel to Provisioning Manager, which manages lower-tier hardware like consoles, CCGWs, and the like.
You want UEM, which is a SNMP monitoring tool. Current Astro25 7.x hardware can output SNMP traps natively, older stuff like Quantars cannot.
motorola_otaku wrote: You want UEM, which is a SNMP monitoring tool.
Hi! Thanks. I already noticed that 8000 series reporting is SNMP-based like most of network devices. But what us UEM? Who is manufaturer of it? How to decypher it to full name? And where to get? And the last question - is it shareware?
Okay, thanks. Love Motorola. UEM Demo costs $46. I repeat: demo version costs something. LOOOL.
What is the right way to equalize audio gain in Analog mode when GTR connected over E&M (Wireline)? Now looks like repeated signal is 30-40% louder than signal was received via satellive receiver (E&M link). Looks like there is no setting in GTR that have control over it. I know that I can use input/output gain in my Cisco, but I want to check for other ways first. Who knows, I might miss something. Thanks!
Of course, all infrastructure and subsriber units set to 12.5/2.5 kHz.
Looks I found what also can help. TX/RX Wireline Alignment. It's all about gain in analog mode.

As Treasurer of the United States, Cabral advised the Directors of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which prints U.S. paper money, and the U.S. Mint, which strikes U.S. coins and medals. Her signature, along with the Treasury secretary's, appeared on Federal Reserve Notes issued during her tenure. All series 2003A, 2004A, 2006 and 2006A notes bear her signature.
This is the first time that PMG has offered signed certification labels.
Cabral was appointed by President George W. Bush and confirmed by the U.S. Senate on Nov. 20, 2004. She was sworn in on Jan. 19, 2005, and held the post for the duration of Bush's second term.
According to Steven R. Eichenbaum, CEO of PMG, "We are delighted to work with Anna, who is incredibly accomplished in numismatics, politics, law and elsewhere. Her autograph enhances the collectability of the notes issued under her watch as Treasurer of the United States."
"I'm excited to have this opportunity to again be involved in the numismatic community," said Cabral.

Who Else Can Propose a DOCA?
Two of our Melbourne partners were recently appointed Voluntary Administrators of a company by the company's directors. Of course this is not an unusual occurrence but what happened then is.
The directors intended to propose a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA), principally to avoid liquidation as by the time we had become involved a creditor had proceedings on foot to wind the company up.
The directors were of the view that if given time to realize the assets of the company in an orderly fashion all creditors could be paid in full. Our investigations lead us to concur with this view. If the assets been disposed of by fire sale it may have been that there would have been enough to pay out the secured creditor, with little or nothing left for the unsecured creditors. The directors proposed a DOCA effectively returning the company to their control, in exchange for subordinating the debts due to them, while seeking a moratorium to allow the company time to pay the debts. Our analysis suggested that had all gone to plan creditors would have been paid in full over approximately a two year period.
To our surprise one of the major creditors also submitted a proposal for a DOCA. We have seen such attempts previously where a creditor seeks to obtain control of a valuable asset; this was not the case in this instance. The creditors' proposal was not entirely dissimilar to the directors proposal; it had more stringent controls, including providing for the DOCA Administrators to realize the assets of the company as opposed to the directors doing so. It also sought various commitments from the company's banker, who held security over all of the company's assets.
The company's banker was happy to be involved in the process. Readers who have been involved in this aspect of insolvency practice for as long as the author will remember that one of the things that the Harmer Report was trying to achieve in introducing the Voluntary Administration regime was to encourage secured creditors to become involved in the process. Until this administration I doubt that, that objective had been fully achieved. In any event the bank to our surprise agreed to take a percentage of proceeds from the sale of each part of the assets of the company, as opposed to the bank insisting on full payment from each part of the asset.
The ultimate result of all of this was that the creditors DOCA proposal was used as leverage to negotiate a better outcome for the ordinary unsecured creditors. Ultimately the bank moved a motion that the directors DOCA proposal be accepted, with amendments that were made in the days leading up to the meeting and at the meeting of creditors. We believe that the ultimate outcome provided for the best result obtainable for the creditors in the circumstances, and also provides an outcome where the company will be left with substantial assets at the end of the DOCA, thereby maximizing the position of all parties. It certainly beat the alternative of disposing of assets by fire sale which would likely have left nothing for either the ordinary unsecured creditors or the company.

From this page you'll have access to 30 kilt gallery pages showing traditional kilts in that many different tartans. Add to that solid coloured traditional kilts, utility kilts, and man skirts.
When looking at the many pictures on the following pages you might get the impression that I always wear a kilt. I don't. But after all, this entire site is about kilts (and skirts).
I think jeans and shorts are great. But so are kilts. And I do wear kilts a lot. More than 20 years it is. I like the look, the comfort, the difference, and being just a little bit different by doing so. Last not least isn't variety the spice of life? To me it is, I think.
The intention has not been to show you how I look like wearing a kilt, but have you imagine wearing one yourself, to convince you that you can actually wear a kilt anywhere, anytime without any special occasion, and inspire you to one day wear a kilt yourself, or if you already do, do it more often. As they say in commercials for quite another type of product, "You're worth it."

Pain and Suffering: A victim's pain and suffering is calculated on several different factors. This may include chronic pain, emotional distress, witnessing a terrible event, and others.

How Your Waltonville, IL, Accident Lawyer Will Help
One of the most important jobs for an accident attorney is to prove negligence or who is at fault. There are 4 basic elements of negligence that need to be proven. These include:
The "Duty of Care" refers to a person's reasonable and responsible moral contract between them and others. Citizens are morally and legally expected to act in certain ways. For example, a restaurant manager has a moral responsibility to serve safe food.
The "Breach" is when that person knows the duty of care and fails to act responsibly. A decent example of this is when someone ignores a yield sign and drives through an intersection.
"Causation" is determining who is actually responsible for breaching duty of care. An accident happens because the negligent party failed to act responsibly. Consider a car salesman that doesn't salt an icy walkway and someone slips and falls. The proprietor is responsible because it's reasonable they would have measures to avoid that accident.
The final step in proving negligence is determining "Damages." You probably don't have a claim if you stub your toe. There needs to be financial repercussions. Compensation for personal injuries varies on a multitude of factors. Once your lawyer proves the defendant is negligent, they will look at the expenses caused by the breach of duty of care.
The Waltonville accident lawyers at the Dixon Injury Firm help clients and their families with the entire process. This includes gathering evidence, submitting claims, and countering settlement offers.

'No heroes here': Exhaustive report lays out two decades of Baltimore Police and city failure that led to GTTF scandal
Three takeaways from Maryland men's basketball's 81-67 win against Brown
By Edward Lee
Two days removed from banging his right knee against a Lehigh opponent's knee that forced him to miss the final nine minutes of Tuesday night's 76-55 rout, starting point guard Fatts Russell made a triumphant return, racking up 18 points, five assists and three rebounds to propel the Maryland men's basketball team to an 81-67 victory over visiting Brown on Thursday night.
From the starters' dominant showing to the team's continuing troubles in the first half to Hakim Hart's ability to make an impact on both ends of the floor, here are three takeaways from the Terps' win before an announced 10,224 at the Xfinity Center in College Park.
The starters carried the offense
The team has frequently shown no reservations about going deep on its bench to spell its starters. And reserves such as graduate student shooting guard Xavier Green, sophomore shooting guard Ian Martinez, freshman power forward Julian Reese (St. Frances) and graduate student small forward Simon Wright have usually made healthy contributions.
That was not the case against the Bears as that foursome combined for two points on 1-for-5 shooting, three rebounds, two assists, one block, four turnovers and 10 fouls — including five on Reese, who fouled out with 2:09 left in the game.
The starting lineup of Russell, senior shooting guard Eric Ayala, junior shooting guard Hakim Hart, junior power forward Donta Scott and junior center Qudus Wahab accounted for the remaining 79 points on 27-for-53 shooting, 37 rebounds, 11 assists, six steals, two blocks, seven turnovers and 11 fouls. Interim coach Danny Manning did not seem too worried about over-relying on the starters.
"That was working for us today," he said. "Normally, we get a little more bench production, and today we didn't have it. But also, the guys on the court, they had the ball. We're off tomorrow. So they can be tired tomorrow. We knew that we had to do whatever we had to do to get the game. Julian didn't score the ball well, but he was still productive in his minutes in terms of his plus/minus out there on the court, and we've just got to find different ways to get contributions across the board. I thought our starting group did a really good job in terms of, especially in that second half, ball movement, making shots, and we got stops."
Hart pointed out that many of the aforementioned players are capable of taking center stage and that depth is an asset for Maryland (8-4).
"Just finding our chemistry by playing inside-out," he said. "We've got a lot of players that play with power and can finish with ease. That just makes it easier."

Stop me if you've heard this before, Part 1
For the eighth time in 12 games, the Terps found themselves saddled with a halftime deficit after Brown carved out a 39-35 lead in the first 20 minutes. The Terps had been 3-4 in the previous seven games when trailing at halftime, including dropping their last three.
For the season, Maryland has been outscored 394-387 in the first half. In the second half, the Terps have outscored opposing teams 457-396.
Perhaps that's a positive sign that the Terps are a second-half team that can climb out of any hole they dig. But it seems even Manning comprehends that formula does not have much lasting power.
"We have to do a better job of coming out and getting started," he said. "The one thing we'll continue to harp on with our guys is being disruptive defensively and not letting teams get into their flow. In the last two games, Lehigh and Brown, those guys got into a flow offensively, and once good players get into a flow, it's hard to slow them down. So we have to do a much better job of slowing guys down."
If Manning is concerned, his players remain a confident bunch that remains resolute that it can fix whatever problems keep cropping up in the first half. Maryland hopes to rewrite the script as it prepares to dive further into the Big Ten portion of its schedule with a road game at Iowa (10-3) on Monday night.
"These last two games were a good test before we get into Big Ten play," Russell said. "We feel like we're ready for it. We're just going to keep working every day to prepare for our next opponent."

Not only did he score 17 points — including 11 in the second half — Thursday night, but Hart also collected four rebounds, four assists and two steals. His contributions on both ends of the floor continue to impress Manning.
"He's one of our glue pieces, if you will, and that's not a knock on him because he does everything well," he said. "That's part of the reason why he has that adjective associated with his style of play. He can play the point, he can play the [shooting guard position], he can play the [small forward role]. If we go small, he can play the [power forward spot]. He knows all the plays. He's an efficient player. Tonight, he only gets nine shots, but he makes six of them. He knocks down a three, he had four assists."
Hart's workload also included the task of marking Brown graduate student small forward Tamenang Choh, who scored 18 points in the first half shooting 5-for-9 from the field and 7-for-8 from the free-throw line. In the second half, Choh was limited to seven points on 3-for-6 shooting and did not get to the free-throw line.
Hart was his usual concise self describing his defensive skills.
"Just by using my wide length and sliding my feet, I think guys have a hard time," he said. "And playing the shot with a high hand."

Bears coach Michael Martin credited Hart with making Choh work for opportunities in the second half.
"I thought he stepped up to that challenge, and you have to credit him," Martin said. "I know they're not ranked now, but they're a preseason nationally ranked team for a reason. They've got really good players, really good pieces and experienced talent. That's a pretty good combination."

If you're looking for ways to reduce your energy costs, look no further than your OSP CNC control. From an engineering perspective, the key is to look for areas in the machining processes that unnecessarily consume energy. Machine tool idling, unnecessary pump rotation and continuous running of peripheral equipment are all energy guzzlers that, when managed, can provide significant savings. Recognizing that advanced CNC control technology can be used to more effectively monitor and manage these wasteful processes, Okuma created the ECO suite system (a part of OSP suite) to handle these tasks.
ECO suite is a next-generation system that saves energy by reducing power consumption during both machine operating and waiting times. Okuma's ECO suite won the Excellence Award/Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award at the 45th Machine Design Awards, sponsored by the Nikkan Kogyo Business & Technology Daily News. ECO suite includes four new intelligent CNC control applications that save on unnecessary energy expenditures, and the results can be quite dramatic. Following are the features you can benefit from with this system.
ECO Idling Stop is the world's first application that stops machine tool idling. This energy-saving system uses Okuma's Thermo-Friendly Concept to monitor the cooling status of the milling spindle and the turning spindle, and automatically turns off the coolers for these spindles when cooling is complete.
This application carefully stops peripheral equipment, and the benefits increase with longer machining preparation times. The result is dramatically decreased power consumption when the machine tool is not cutting, and power can even be reduced while cutting with the optional ECO Hydraulics. See Figure 2 for an example showing a 74% decrease in non-cutting power consumption that can be achieved in just one month.
The ECO Power Monitor allows you to see how much energy is being saved – right on the machine tool's display. Power consumption is shown for spindles, feed axes and peripheral equipment.

Column: Dispatches From the Edge: Ballots, Bullets, Bizarreness and Bribery, By: Conn Hallinan
Some elections to keep an eye on. Last month's massive demonstrations in Bangkok demanding the resignation of Thailand Prime Minister Thanksin Shinawatra focused on the media mogul's avoidance of $100 million in taxes. But underlying the charges of corruption is a growing allergy to Thanksin's heavy-handed approach to any opposition, a result of his scorched-earth policy toward Muslims in the country's southern provinces. -more-

In journalism, we are taught to look for social and political faultlines, the spots were the various forces of our society rub against each other, and sometimes collide.

But sometimes they are a mile wide and if you lean over and peer inside, you can actually see what's really going on. You have to look quickly, however. These things close up fast and even before they do, there's folks running around with their smoke-blowing machines, trying to make you believe that what you are seeing is not actually what you are seeing. -more-

Prosperity Perspectives: Tracking the Mortgage Wolves, By: Russ Cohn
We recently had a call from a woman who wanted some advice about her current home loan and whether we would recommend a refinance. After investigating her circumstances, hearing her story, and questioning her about the process she had gone through, I understood why there are consumer-rights groups wanting to regulate the mortgage industry. Her story spoke not only about a mortgage professional who was more interested in their own paycheck than the best interests of their client, but to a very popular loan program, that in my opinion, should be regulated very carefully. -more-

Brexit weekly: 5 things
Oh, to be a fly on the wall
This week started with a rather lengthy round trip for Theresa May for a spot of dinner with EU chief negotiator Jean-Claude Juncker in Brussels. Following last week's warnings that talks have stalled, making it increasingly unlikely the two sides will move on to future trade negotiations until at least December, the pair emerged from the dinner saying they will "accelerate" attempts to reach a deal. What that looks like isn't entirely clear: both sides knew the tight timetable when Article 50 was triggered, and accelerating the talks would appear to require that all important breakthrough on the divorce bill, which still seems some way off. Either way, Juncker didn't strike the most positive tone for the dinner, saying to journalists "I will meet Mrs May this evening, we will talk and you will see the autopsy." Quite what was on the menu was anyone's guess.
With love, from Theresa
Maybe this dinner pushed the PM into action, or maybe she carried on with her week afterwards as planned. It seems entirely plausible that her open letter to EU citizens living in the UK, published on her Facebook page this week, was motivated by the former. She urged EU citizens to trust that "We are in touching distance of agreement" on their rights on residence, healthcare, pensions and other benefits, and that the digital system being designed to allow EU residents to apply for settled status in the UK will incur "no more than the cost of a UK passport" (for those interested, it's £72.50 for a standard adult first passport).
Responses from the official Facebook accounts of Sir Vince Cable and Jeremy Corbyn – which come across as painfully obvious attempts to "engage with the yoof"- said it was "laughable" that the Home Office would create an efficient applications system, and that it was a "weak message from a weak Prime Minister." So maybe they won't be accepting Theresa's Candy Crush requests any time soon.
One last plea
As expected, the EU 27 added insult to injury at the European Council summit today, where they have made their final decision on whether to proceed to trade talks without letting the UK pitch in. May addressed the summit last night over a working dinner, implying that she needs talks to progress to prevent Eurosceptics in the UK from rounding on her (further). This has produced some symbolic gestures at least: the EU 27 have confirmed they will begin to discuss trade amongst themselves, even if not with the UK; and Angela Merkel and the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte have deliberately made more encouraging public statements to put the best spin on the Council's decision.
One theory behind this is that the remaining EU leaders fear what impact any more critical comments could have on May's standing among British MPs and her ability to win concessions among them – both from Remainers who continue to threaten rebellion in the next stages of the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, and Brexiteers who could take the Conservative leadership from May and pursue an even harder position. The EU is treading carefully, but will undoubtedly be considering how long they can afford to do so for.
Make leave mean leave
May received a letter of her own this week from the Leave Means Leave group, calling for her to move past the deadlock in talks with Brussels – not by making any concessions, but by announcing now that the UK will leave without a deal and operate on World Trade Organisation rules from the end of March 2019. While it was signed by ardent Brexiteers such as Lord Lawson, John Redwood and Tim Martin of JD Wetherspoon, and is urging May to take the decision to give businesses certainty, it's highly unlikely it will be received that way by much of the business community. But when set against a backdrop of rising inflation (and further antagonistic Evening Standard headlines courtesy of George Osborne – "BREXIT WAGES SQUEEZE: WILL IT EVER END?"), they may well have a point on the need for a deal to be concluded to end the uncertainty soon.
Things are looking up for EU
And finally, the European Parliament's polling of citizens' perceptions of EU membership has shown a 4% increase in the number of people supporting EU membership from last year, with 57% thinking membership is a good thing. Sixty percent also believed their country had benefitted from EU membership, and 47% thought the European Parliament should increase its role in the bloc in future. Interestingly, 55% of Brits interviewed for the poll agreed that EU membership had benefitted the UK – seven percent more than the proportion of the population who voted to remain, and three percent more than voted to leave. It will be reassuring for the EU 27 to see that Brexit hasn't inspired any similar rebellions in other member states, particularly with the steep escalation of tensions in Spain and Catalonia in recent weeks. In the UK though, it wouldn't be surprising for the figures to crop up in conversation among Remainers still pushing for a second referendum – has someone called Lib Dem HQ yet?

As you havent't added that, Djongo is automatically creating a null value for that. So it works for the first time. When you are trying to insert second document, it again creates a document with "_id" value of null and thus throws the duplicate Key Error.

I try to encourage my self daily by speaking the Word over my life, but sometimes it seems like it is not enough. Keep her spiritual senses tuned to desire and expect Your presence in her life continuously 2 Cor 11:3. So often we feel as if we have no connection to each other any longer and over the last year I was wondering why I continue to do this when I feel single so much of the time. My husband Rafael and I have been separated since Aug. Let her encourage the weary or misguided ones with Your words Isa 50:4. Guard our hearts, as a married couple, to be ever drawn to You, not relying on ourselves or the things of this world, but on You and You alone. Pray that your husband would take delight in his labor and that God would bless the work of his hands.
Her Mouth Let her words and her thoughts please You Ps 19:14. I know God can restore all Satan destroyed, repair and mend broken hearts and reconcile our marriage and relationship — that it can be greater than it ever could have been. Enable us to honor You by submitting to each other Eph 5:21. I also like two books by Stormie Omartian, The Power of a Praying Wife, and Praying Through the Difficult Issues of Marriage.

Let me summarize some of this instruction, written up originally as material from Proverbs 31 Ministries perhaps you have seen other versions of similar writings. This is sugery 2 and we trust God to stay with us on this journey, that he will finally find a pain free life after 8 years of chronic pain. Ezer appears twenty-one times in the Old Testament. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. She offers eight essential criteria for capturing the heart of… Pre-order your copy today and your book will ship on release day, February 26th. I figured if I had been using them for so long, I should comment and tell you thanks!! Let's pray for our men today. We are newly married and just after you could say all hell broke loose and Satan thru everything he could at us….
Thank you for an empowering message to women and encouraging us to be the helpmates God called us to be. My sister sent me this link and I have also found the praying for your wife prayer too. Matthew 6:13; Mark 9:47 His Ears - That he will hear Your still small voice instructing him. She was a female image bearer in this mysterious union of marriage. There is a spiritual battle going on all around us, and Paul urges us to be prepared, armed and alert.
While apart from each other may we be mindful of fears and lies which would seek to draw our minds away from our commitment to each other. Provide for us the assurance of Your love and may our commitment to each other reflect our commitment to You as Lord and Savior. Click over to my Facebook page and share your husband, son, or boyfriend's name. We are falling in love all over again. Woman was and is a warrior called to fight alongside man in the greatest battle that was yet to come-a battle not fought on the battlefield with guns, but on our knees in prayer. My husband is a Man of God, and is a Minister of Music at our church. Nancy My husband and I have been married for almost 19 years, and 4 months ago he left me.
I have no doubt that one day there will be a breakthrough, and joy will come in the morning and lift my decades long sadness. Interestingly the sixteen times the word, ezer, is used of God, it also carries military connotations. I would have posted yesterday but my Grammie went home with The Lord yesterday morning. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. I also have the prayer sheet below in front of me. Regardless of where your man or your marriage falls on the continuum of terrific to tolerable to terrible, there is always room for improvement.
These prayers are personalized Scriptures that will challenge men to pray for their wife from head to toe. They surely will transform our marriage life. Fairy tales stop short of telling us about tension over whose turn it is to wash the dishes, pay the bills or put the kids to bed. I want him to be in Heaven with me one day. I pray she will trust You with all her heart and not to lean to her own understanding. There is no other person who is more called or more qualified to pray for your man than you. Staring at my reflection, an unwelcome thought popped in my mind.
This is sooo timely, wonderful! The chance to sign up will end February 28th. I really feel very sad for him because he chose to be that way. If you would like a of verses to pray for your husband from head to toe, to check it out. Hold her and place her feet on the Solid Rock —Jesus Christ. I have prayed the prayers for thirty days and now am going through it again. He desires to destroy the God-ordained and designed institution of marriage. Ephesians 6:15 Steve Wright of Marriage Missions International wrote this prayer sheet.
I will pray for the first responder. For more marriage encouragement, connect with me on. Thank you for your devotion and all that you do to bring women to know Christ more completely. God knows all about it! He began with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and continues his destructive tactics even today. He had drifted away from God and I had finally allowed God into my life, completely. Hubby is scheduled for spinal sugery on 2. It is true that opposites attract--for a while.

Tag: November
Politics	 August 16, 2012
DEAR PENNSYLVANIA
To the citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Despite the lack of evidence of "voter fraud." Despite the fact, that for years people have voted with other "acceptable forms of identification." Despite the fact, that the stated objective of the "Voter ID Law," passed by the PA legislature, is to insure a Romney victory in the Commonwealth, over President Obama, in the November election. Despite the fact, that older citizens, college students and minorities are disproportionately affected by this law. Despite all of these facts, Judge Robert Simpson of the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania has decided to uphold the PA Voter ID law.
This from CNN.com: "Judge Robert Simpson, with the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, on Wednesday issued an order expressing no constitutional reason to stop the law from taking effect, despite writing in his decision that he had "sympathy" for the witnesses.
'At the end of the day, however, I do not have the luxury of deciding this issue based on my sympathy for the witnesses or my esteem for the counsel. Rather, I must analyze the law, and apply it to the evidence of facial unconstitutionality brought forth in the courtroom, tested by our adversarial system,' Simpson wrote." http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/15/pennsylvania-judge-upholds-voter-id-law/
Though the ACLU and others have vowed to continue this fight, next, to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and if necessary, beyond, the PA GOP has declared victory, and is sure that this legislation has given them a leg up, an advantage, in their efforts to retain control of the Commonwealth, and to defeat President Obama, in Pennsylvania, in November. But, their celebrations could be a bit premature.
Let's look at a few other facts:
There are 8,478,509 registered voters in Pennsylvania:
• 4,311,203 registered Democratic voters
• 3,132,039 registered Republican voters
• 38,031 registered Libertarian voters
• 997,236 registered all other party voters
(Note: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Pennsylvania's voting age population is estimated at 9,829,635).
Since Jan. 2010, a total of 345,439 approved new voter applications were processed:
• 149,806 registered as Democrats
• 103,518 registered as Republicans
• 6,537 registered Libertarian voters
• 85,578 registered all other party voters
This data can be found at: http://gantdaily.com/2010/11/02/nearly-8-5-million-registered-to-vote-in-pa/ More complete data can be found at: at www.dos.state.pa.us.
Now, it is projected that up to 10% of registered voters in PA could be affected by the voter ID law, perhaps as much 20% in urban areas. Even if those projections are correct there is no guarantee that the objectives of the PA GOP can be met. Indeed, due to the collateral consequences of their voter suppression efforts, it is more likely that those efforts will energize what might have been an apathetic, over-confident, Democrat base. There is another collateral consequence that possibly wasn't considered. Independent voters are watching these efforts, as well. It is not difficult to discern what is happening here, and American's don't particularly like to see people trying to game the system. I don't believe they are taking into consideration, that Americans want their competitors to "play fair."
The Democrat Party has people working hard to get voters properly ID'd and registered, but what I find truly remarkable, is that groups like Rev. Al Sharpton's "National Action Network," and Rev. Jesse Jackson's "Rainbow/Push Coalition are actively working to see that "all" eligible voters have the required identification, and are registered and prepared to vote. Listening to the Reverend's Sharpton and Jackson, I've not heard any talk about party, except that one party is disproportionately affected by these efforts. They, simply, want all eligible people to vote. They "are" playing fair.
Notice, also, that Democrats are out registering Republicans, in the Commonwealth, by almost 50%. This will have a significant impact on the PA GOP's voter suppression efforts, as well.
All of that being said, let's look at the worst possible outcome. That the law stands, and all of its negative projections are met. Based on the statistics, a 10% loss of the Democrat electorate would not give the GOP a majority of the vote in Pennsylvania. (This is with voters voting along strict party lines.) When you factor in the Presidents current lead among independents, and several other demographic areas, this entire voter ID episode could end up being, just an expensive charade.
But let's not take anything for granted, Pennsylvania. I've got a challenge for you. It's "EACH ONE REACH ONE." If each eligible, properly credentialed, voter takes a moment to insure that a person, a neighbor, a co-worker, a family member, has the proper identification, then, all of these PA GOP voter suppression efforts will be, nothing but, a waste of time and money, on their part.
That waste of time and money just may be the most important part of this entire episode. I have deliberately stayed away from talking about the groups that stand to gain the most from these voter suppression efforts. Groups like the people behind the Super PAC's, that are spending vast amounts of money to influence your/our elections. When we stand up to them, when we let them know that our elections are not for sale, when they see [that] there is no return on this, and these types of investment(s)…., well they are businessmen and women, practical thinking men and women. There is a better way forward for America, a "fairer" way forward for America. When this episode is over, perhaps, we can direct our combined efforts towards finding, that better, fairer, way.
In the meantime, citizens of Pennsylvania, "EACH ONE, REACH ONE!"
And then, on November 6th, VOTE!!!!!

Opera Print Series
Interview: Kilian Eng's 'Night of the Living Dead'
July 9, 2014 August 10, 2014 by Chris Jalufka
Swedish illustrator Kilian Eng is one of the finest world builders working — his vision of science-fiction is both hopeful and frightening. A fully realized fiction. His imagined world of organic alien worlds is a gorgeous exploration of darkness, of space — of the cosmos.
Eng has rarely left the genre of science-fiction but with this collaboration with Grey Matter Art for his take on 'Night of the Living Dead' Eng takes his imagination into new ground — the midnight black of classic horror.
Eng has always been able to imbue his work with great mood, and here he focuses on the ominous, the impending terror and doom of Romero's classic film. There are hints of Eng's characteristic paint work, but he's also used the opportunity to push himself and keep the inspired design connected to the reality of the film.
I reached out to Kilian to chat about working in a new genre and his approach to the design of this print and he was kind enough to agree.
'Night of the Living Dead' by Kilian Eng
'Night of the Living Dead' black and white variant by Kilian Eng
ETDC: The Grey Matter Art release of your 'Night of the Living Dead' print was quite a surprise. A pleasant one of course, but I'd never seen you tackle a horror film before. How familiar were you with the film when you took on the task?
KE: Yes, I was really happy for the opportunity to work with this film, it's the first movie print I have done in the genre.
I was definitely familiar with it even though it has been some years since I saw it before the commission. When I watched it again before starting to work I remembered a lot and also realized that I had mixed it up with some other horror movies. Since 'Night of the Living Dead' sort of started the zombie genre it's obvious how much it has inspired others work.
For someone who has a created such a richly individualistic science-fiction world, what was your approach to this new genre of horror? Was this a new ground you were looking to take on?
In a way it felt like something new but you can always find an approach that includes things you enjoy working with. For me the atmosphere is important and also to include environment. This film presents both in a great way.
To step into the horror film genre doesn't feel like a huge step, and I often like to work with quite dark themes so this image came along quite natural.
'Silver Surfer' by Kilian Eng
'Silver Surfer' black and white sketch by Kilian Eng
This print contains a few firsts for you – next to your first horror design it's also your first print to be released with a black and white edition. I've seen you do sketches in color, but not a lot of black and white work of yours has been seen outside of your roughs for your 'Silver Surfer' print for Mondo.
Did you start with the black and white version first, or was that an afterthought? At what step in the process did you decide to create the variant as a black and white print?
I do some black and white work from time to time but this was the first screen print that is like that. It felt natural to have a black and white version since that's a proper presentation of the film.
I think it's a great strength in it. It was a bit of an after construction thought, the first version was with the blue tones. Then I decided together with Mike from Grey Matter Art to try the black and white and we both liked the look of it. We also tried some red and orange versions but that didn't look good at all.
One of the common elements in your work is your imaginative treatment of the organic shapes of trees and other structures. Here, you've rendered a realistic environment – the house and the forest are from the film but you still managed to get a distinctly 'Kilian Eng' like bush in the left of the foreground. Was it difficult to keep the design grounded in the reality of the film?
Haha, great that you noticed the characteristic bush. I actually had an early version with more organic shapes, drawn more like that, but after a while I realized that the print would benefit from a slightly more realistic touch and I think it turned out quite nice.
It's almost like the trees are searching for the people inside the farmhouse with their twisted branches. They become a quite important element in the design.
'Night of the Living Dead' is full of iconic images – it is one of the finest and most well-regarded zombie film ever made. How many sketches and ideas did you have to go through until you found a moment in the film you wanted to go with?
I worked out three different sketches and showed Grey Matter Art. I knew quite quickly that I wanted to work with the farmhouse in some way.
It came quite natural to include a lot of the surroundings, as that's something I often like to do. Two of the sketches had an approach with this in mind and the third was from the graveyard in the beginning, a fantastic part of the film that would have been great to visualize as well.
Any plans for more horror themed work? Any other genres you're wanting to take on?
Yes, I absolutely love the genre. I'm a big Dario Argento fan, so hopefully something shows up for that or some other project. We'll see what happens.
I would never limit myself to just one or two genres if the right subjects shows up.
