Q:

Django + ExtJS FileUpload (direct from PC and from link)

Firstly - sorry for my English..
I've inherited a rather big project which uses ExtJS and is based on Django.. So I have an upload form and it works ok. The path to the file is given in a fileuploadfield (this is the xtype of ExtJS  field) then it is taken by the Django and saved to the DB (it's being transformed to a needed view to be stored in the base, but that's not the problem..)
So I have smth like this:
class image(entity):
    ...

    def create(self,request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UploadFileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        try:
            parent_id = int(request.POST["parent_id"])
        except:
            return ErrorResponse()
        if form.is_valid():
            fl =  request.FILES['file'];
            file = fl.read()
            Obj = self.data.obj
            New = Obj()

            setattr(New,'is_main',False)

and so on..
So I need to make a file upload from a direct link. Of course by another field. Having the file from a link is not a problem (urllib2 helps great), saving the file to the media folder isn't a problem too. But I can't insert it in the code above. As I understand - my problem is that the file object differs from the request.FILES thing.. But I don't know how to convert a normal file (in my case all the files are images) to the type of request.FILES so it would be readable for the next functions.. What I mean:
I catch the link to the file from another field(textfield):
            url = request.POST['link'] #It get's the user posted link
            name = urllib2.urlopen(url).read()
            f = open('media/images/picture.gif', 'wb') #I overwrite it on a dummy, couse it must be than transfered to the db
            f.write(name)
            f.close #the file can be seen in the media path

Ok. The file is now in the /media/ folder, but if I simply try to replace the
file = fl.read() with file=f.read() it doesn't work. As I understand - the request.FILES and just a file are different.. Can anybody help me to convert my file to the needed type? Or tell me how can this idea be done.. The project is really big and if I try changing the submitting mechanism it may cause a lot of problems..
Again sorry for my English)

A:

I really don't understand why it didn't work, but I found out that this works for me..
            url = request.POST['file_link']
            name = urllib2.urlopen(url).read()
            file = name
            ..

the urllib2.urlopen("link to a file") returns a normal File and that is it..


Q:

keep track of legal values

Assume two external functions init() and revoke(). Init() returns "valid" values, revoke() makes them invalid. I like to verify that use() only uses values which are initialized but not revoked. I don't know how to describe this property as predicate (think random session IDs) or otherwise.
#include <lib.h>

// "ensures valid_val(\result)"
extern int init();
extern revoke(int);

/*
 @ assigns \nothing;
 @ require valid_val(val);
 */
void use(int val) {
    ...
}

int main() {
    int v = init();
    use(v);
    revoke(v);
}

A:

It is indeed not possible to express this property as a single ACSL predicate. In fact, it depends on the whole execution of the program. The Aorai plug-in allows to express allowed sequences of function calls in the form of automata, but I'm afraid it cannot completely capture what you want. More precisely, it would not be able to express scenarios where the lifetime of the tokens overlap (but it would be completely sufficient for proving that the main function of your example is correct).
That said, with a little bit of instrumentation, it should be possible to come up with a general specification. A first trick would be to declare a (ghost) array whose cells are non zero iff the corresponding index is a valid token.
typedef int token;

/*@ ghost extern int valid_token[]; */

/*@ predicate is_valid(token t) = valid_token[t] != 0; */

/*@
  assigns valid_token[\at(\result,Post)];
  ensures is_valid(\result);
*/
extern token init();

/*@
  requires is_valid(t);
  assigns valid_token[t];
  ensures !is_valid(t);
*/
extern revoke(token t);

/*@
 @ requires is_valid(val);
 @ assigns \nothing;
 */
void use(token val) {

}

/*@ requires \forall token t; !is_valid(t); */
int main() {
    token v = init();
    use(v);
    revoke(v);
}

If the fact that we use an array with no defined size seems a bit fishy, an almost purely ACSL solution would be to use an undefined predicate whose truth value depends on a state that is modified by init and revoke, as in:
 typedef int token;

/*@ ghost int glob_state; */

/*@ axiomatic validity {
  predicate valid_token{L}(token t) reads glob_state;
}
*/

/*@ predicate unchanged_token{L1,L2}(token t) =
  \forall token t1; t!=t1 ==>
  valid_token{L1}(t1) <==> valid_token{L2}(t1);
*/

/*@
  assigns glob_state;
  ensures valid_token(\result);
  ensures unchanged_token{Pre,Here}(\result);
*/
extern token init();

/*@
  requires valid_token(t);
  assigns glob_state;
  ensures !valid_token(t);
  ensures unchanged_token{Pre,Here}(t);
*/
extern revoke(token t);

/*@
 @ requires valid_token(val);
 @ assigns \nothing;
 */
void use(token val) {

}

/*@ requires \forall token t; !valid_token(t); */
int main() {
    token v = init();
    use(v);
    revoke(v);
}

functions that assign glob_state may modify the predicate. In fact, it changes only for one value of the argument, hence the auxiliary predicate that says that the validity of all tokens but one stays the same between L1 and L2.


Danforth Campus

The Danforth Campus is the main campus at Washington University in St. Louis.  Formerly known as the Hilltop Campus, it was officially dedicated as the Danforth Campus on September 17, 2006, in honor of William H. Danforth, the 13th Chancellor of the University, the Danforth family and the Danforth Foundation.  Distinguished by its collegiate gothic architecture, the  campus lies at the western boundary of Forest Park, partially in the City of St. Louis. Most of the campus (including almost all academic and administrative buildings) is in a small enclave of unincorporated St. Louis County, while all the campus area south of Forsyth Boulevard (mostly student housing) is in suburban Clayton.  Immediately to the north across Forest Park Parkway is University City.

History

The construction of Danforth Campus was accelerated through a profitable lease of several buildings to the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. During the fair, Brookings Hall, Busch Hall, Cupples I & II Halls, Francis Field & Gymnasium (site of the 1904 Summer Olympics), Ridgley Hall, Eads Hall, and Prince Hall (a men's dormitory) were used as administrative and exhibition spaces. At the fair's conclusion, the newly constructed buildings assumed their original functions as classrooms and administrative offices. Additionally, Francis Field and Gymnasium were converted for use by the Washington University athletic department.

The landscape design of the Danforth Campus was created in 1895 by Olmsted, Olmsted, & Eliot, a firm best known for designing New York City's Central Park. In 1899, after holding a national design competition, Washington University's administrators selected the Philadelphia firm Cope & Stewardson to design the entire campus. Cope & Stewardson, a firm known for its mastery of Collegiate Gothic, designed Brookings Hall as a centerpiece of a new campus plan. The plan, modeled after the distinctive quadrangles of Oxford and Cambridge Universities, has guided the construction and expansion of the Danforth Campus to the present day.

A large portion of the Danforth Campus is recognized as the Washington University Hilltop Campus Historic District, which achieved National Historic Landmark status in 1987.

In 2019, a $360 million renovation project, the "East End Transformation", was unveiled on the Danforth Campus, building on the original 1895 campus plan by Olmsted, Olmsted & Eliot. The project included the creation of the Gary M. Sumers Welcome Center, which now houses undergraduate admissions; the Craig and Nancy Schnuck Pavilion, which houses a café, the Environmental Studies program and the Office of Sustainability; the Henry A. and Elvira H. Jubel Hall, which houses the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science in the McKelvey School of Engineering; and the James M. McKelvey, Sr. Hall, which will be completed in 2020 and open in 2021 and will house the McKelvey School of Engineering’s Department of Computer Science & Engineering. All new buildings on the east end have been designed to achieve LEED-Gold certification, and include solar panels located on many of the roofs to generate renewable electricity. In addition to the five new buildings, the project relocated 6 acres of parking lots underground, renovated and expanded the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, and created the Ann and Andrew Tisch Park.

Campus buildings
Most of the buildings built between 1902 and the 1950s were designed by Cope & Stewardson and Jamieson and Spearl. James P. Jamieson was the chief architect for those built before 1940.

It is home to Washington University's men's and women's basketball and women's volleyball. It is also used for large events like commencement and convocation. The Field House hosted the first U.S Presidential debate of the 1992 campaign, the third and final debate of the 2000 presidential campaign, the second debate of the 2004 presidential campaign and the Vice Presidential Debate in 2008. .
Francis Field - Used during the 1904 Olympics. The field features a FieldTurf surface installed during the summer of 2004 4 light towers for the field as well as 2 light towers for the natural grass practice field located directly west of the field.  Francis Field is home to Washington University's men's football and men's and women's soccer programs.
Francis Gymnasium - Finished in 1903, it was one of the buildings used in the 3rd modern Olympic Games, the first games held in the Western Hemisphere. They hosted the boxing and fencing events.  The gymnasium portion of the building was demolished in 2015 to be replaced with a larger modern facility, with the campus-facing tower portion remaining in place.
I.E. Millstone Swimming Pool - Built in 1985, the eight-lane, 25-meter swimming pool is equipped with a diving well. Home to Washington University's men's and women's swimming and diving team, the I.E. Millstone Pool is also utilized for water aerobics classes, swim lessons and general lap swimming.  I.E. Millstone received a B.S. in engineering and architecture in 1927 and an honorary degree in 1994. He became a member of the Washington University Board of Trustees in 1964. He had a successful construction company in St. Louis, and the company built some of the residence halls on the South 40. In 1970, the Millstone Lounge and Plaza were also named in his honor. This pool replaced the campus's original Wilson Pool building, constructed in 1923 east of where the Field House now stands, and demolished as part of the 1985 upgrades to the Athletic Center.
Kelly Field - Home to Washington University's baseball team.
Recreational Gym - Features 3  basketball courts, a 1/10 mile track, and 2 batting cages for varsity baseball and softball practices.
Softball Field - Home to Washington University's softball team.

New research space for the Department of Biomedical Engineering, space for the  International Center for Advanced Renewable Energy and Sustainability, a centralized location for the Department of Energy, Environmental, and Chemical Engineering, and new classroom space are among the facilities to be housed in the complex. The University has a goal of achieving Platinum LEED certification, the highest level of certification for environmental sustainability in new building construction.  In April 2010, both Brauer Hall was dedicated and construction began on Preston M. Green Hall.  Brauer Hall serves as the centerpiece to the new complex, while Green Hall features a prominent archway leading into the complex at the corner of two major thoroughfares in the area.
Redevelopment of the South 40 - Extensive plans are underway to replace the older dormitories on the South 40. When the entire project is completed, the area will be defined as a mixed-used facility consisting of dining locations, a small auditorium, fitness center, convenience store, lounges, storefronts for student-run businesses, and residences. The plan was modeled after a European streetscape in architecture and landscaping.  In Summer of 2009, the Wohl Center was demolished to make way for the completed Phase 1 of the project, named South 40 House, containing upperclassmen dorms, a convenience store, the South 40 Fitness Center, and dining facilities. Umrath Hall was demolished in Summer 2008, and its replacement was finished in Fall 2009; the replacement Umrath Hall holds freshman residences. The current Rubelmann hall will be demolished, to make room for a replacement that will connect to Umrath Hall on all levels.
Construction of a new building for the Olin Business School: In the Summer of 2012, what is now Eliot Hall will be demolished to be replaced with a $90 million building for the Olin Business School.  At over 160,000 square feet, the building will be a significant expansion to the facilities for the business school.

Campus art and sculpture

Experience Strand

Surrounded by mountains and just a stone's throw from the beach, living in Strand feels like a holiday that never ends. Residents are friendly and always ready to help a fellow neighbour. The words ‘Hakuna Ma tata’ are the best way to describe the atmosphere in Strand. A small fishing and holiday town that always feels like home.


People—friends, family, strangers, colleagues, cellmates—who are uncaring and dismissive of others struggles, or of actively trying to radically change their own lives (maybe in an anarchistic way, maybe not) to better suit their needs and desires...people who just accept and go along with the status quo—
Is there something anarchists "do" with "these people"? Do we fight them? Love them? Ignore them? Dance with them? Educate (ugh)? Affiliate? Destroy?
It's just so saddening to see friends be so complacent and not give a shit because they don't think anything can change and they just want their comfort.

It sounds like your concern with your own needs and desires is somehow hampered by the alleged apathy of other people around you. As long as they don't stand in the way of you and your needs and desires, why do you care? Radicalism is a minority position -- and anarchism is a minority subset within that -- so why would we expect people who behave complacently to be interested?


Q:

how we can get which validation is invalid in AngularJS

I have this code to figure out if the element is valid or invalid in my directive :
myModule.directive('myDirective',function(){
return {
    restrict: 'A',
    scope: {},
    require:'ngModel',
    link: function(scope,element,attrs,ctrl){

        if(ctrl.$invalid){
            //do something
        }
    }
}});

So my problem is how can I determine which type of validation is invalid, required? max-length? my other custom-validations?
Because I need to generate proper validation-message to show.

A:

NgModelController (or ctrl, in your example) has an $error property that you can use to see what the validation errors are.

Since I have now completed my TR Wins in 1912 timeline, I shall be moving on to write a timeline on what would happen if President John F. Kennedy survived his 1963 assassination attempt. I hope to have the first update ready by Monday.

AWESOME!!!!!!!That being said, if you need any help on anything (in particular senate and congressional issues) i would love to help, as my grandpa was quite active at the time as an advisor to Kennedy and later Johnson on veterans issues.

"There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America."-President William Jefferson Clinton"There is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America."-Senator Barack Obama

A dream day had turned into a nightmare. In two separate hotel rooms in Dallas, the President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and the Governor of Texas, John Bowden Connally fight for their lives following a shooting while the President, Governor, Vice President Johnson, Senator Yarborough and their families ride through Dallas.

In the late hours of the evening, word leaks out that Governor Connally, despite the best efforts of his doctors, had died from bullet wounds to the arms, chest, and legs. A distraught Vice President Johnson openly weeps at the loss of one of his closest and oldest friends. No word is sent about the President, other than that he is in critical condition, and hovering between life and death.

All across the country, business grinds to a halt as people await news on their fallen leader. In the late afternoon of the next day, it is reported that the President, although alive, was in weak condition, and would return to the White House to rest.

On November 26, the President is seen returning to the White House, appearing worn and haggard. In a statement to the press, the President jokes about the assassination attempt, attributing his wounds to his forgetting to duck. He announces that he will spend the next several weeks recovering, and will most likely return for his State of the Union address.

I have trouble believing Kennedy would be joking after John Connally's death. Besides that this seems like a good start.

"There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America."-President William Jefferson Clinton"There is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America."-Senator Barack Obama

On January 8, 1964, President Kennedy, for the first time since the assassination attempt, appears before Congress. He starts off by paying tribute to the late Governor Connally, calling him “A truly great American.” He asks the Congress to pass his Civil Rights Act, which had been bottled up in the Rules Committee by Chairman Howard Smith (D-VA), since before the assassination attempt. “It is an unholy calumny that some Americans, because of the accident of birth, are not able to seek the fullest opportunities that the good Lord has offered to them.”

The day following the speech, the President gathers a meeting of top Congressional leaders in the House and Senate, as well as Vice President Johnson, to discuss how to get the Act out of Smith’s committee. At the suggestion of Congressman Emmanuel Celler (D-NY), the House would be presented with a petition to discharge the bill from the Committee. Only if a majority of members signed the discharge petition would the bill move directly to the House floor without consideration by Smith's committee. Despite reservations about the effectiveness of the petition, Kennedy tells Celler to introduce it.

For several weeks, the petition languishes in Congress, with some members refusing to go against typical procedure and sign the petition. However, after an intense lobbying campaign by Vice President Johnson, as well as massive letter writing campaign by constituents, Congressman begin signing on. In order to avoid the embarrassment of the petition, Smith agrees to discharge the Act on February 19. On March 1, by a vote of 290-130, the Act passes, and is sent to the Senate.

Following the Senate vote, Kennedy meets with Majority Leader Mike Mansfield (D-MT), to try and find a way to avoid the Act being bottled up in the Judiciary Committee. After several days, Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (D-MN), comes up with a novel solution. Instead of initially waiving a second reading of the bill, which would have led sent it immediately to Judiciary, Mansfield would give the Act a second reading, which he did on March 27.

Mansfield proposed that, in the absence of precedent for instances when a second reading did not immediately follow the first, that the bill bypass the Judiciary Committee and immediately be sent to the Senate floor for debate. Despite several Southerners wanting to filibuster the motion, Senator Richard Russell (D-GA), decides to let the Act come to the floor, which it does on April 8.

As long expected, the South filibusters, with Senator Russell declaring, “We will resist to the bitter end any measure or any movement which would have a tendency to bring about social equality and intermingling and amalgamation of the races in our states.” The longest speech of the filibuster is given by Senator A. Willis Robertson (D-VA), who speaks for 19 hours and 28 minutes.

On the June 25, Senators Everett Dirksen (R-IL), Thomas Kuchel (R-CA), Humphrey, and Mansfield introduce a substitute bill, hoping to attract enough Republican votes to end the filibuster. The strategy works, and on July 8, after a 13 hour speech by Senator John McClellan (D-AR), the Senate agrees to grant cloture, by a vote of 70-30, the first time cloture had ever been imposed on a civil rights bill. Three days later, by a vote of 72-28, the Senate passes the Civil Rights Act of 1964; it is passed by the House on July 9, and the next day, in a grand ceremony, President Kennedy signs the legislation. During the ceremony, though, Vice President Johnson remarks to an aide that, “We have lost the South for a generation.”

With the legislation finally passed, President Kennedy begins, in earnest, his campaign for reelection.

Good timeline so far. I'm just wondering what you are going to do as far as LBJ being VP? A lot of folks think that he would have dropped him, and the popularity boost from the assassination attempt would have given him the leverage to drop him. His closest aides said that he was thinking Terry Sanford, governor of NC and a symbol of the new south.

"There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America."-President William Jefferson Clinton"There is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America."-Senator Barack Obama

Interesting and well detailed installment on the ATL Passage of the Civil Rights Act for TTL. It does sound like more of a backlash might develop in favor of Goldwater in the election(He'll still probably loose but not as bad as in OTL). Assuming that Goldwater is the GOP Nominee, do him an JFK make good on there series of town hall debates that is rumored they had planned in OTL? This, added with information being released about JFK's other women and the medical issues might tip the election in Goldwater's favor. Keep it comming

Ben has attacked me in the past for saying that Johnson would be dropped from the ticket. So, I do not think that Ben will have Johnson dropped. Though, now that I have said that, he might drop him to prove me wrong. But, that is another matter.

On another note, I think that Johnson might have wanted off of the ticket. Many books and documentaries on Johnson say that he was miserable as vice president.

"There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America."-President William Jefferson Clinton"There is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America."-Senator Barack Obama

On March 17th, President Kennedy announces that he will seek a second term in 1964. He says that he hopes to have the Vice President run again, but that he will let Johnson make his own plans. Three days later, Vice President Johnson addresses the press, “On November 21, 1963, I was resolved to seek a second term as Vice President. However, following the death of my good friend, Governor Connally, I have decided to not seek a second term as Vice President. I will, however, campaign very hard for the President, and I hope he is reelected.”

Following Johnson’s announcement, Kennedy begins searching for a new Vice President. With the conventional wisdom being that Kennedy would need a Southerner, the Kennedy short list includes only members from Confederate and border states. By early July, the President’s shortlist has been narrowed down to three people: Senators Ralph Yarborough of Texas and George Smathers of Florida, and Governor Terry Sanford of North Carolina. After conferring with Vice President Johnson, Kennedy decides to select Senator Smathers, making the decision public on July 24, one month before the Democratic Convention begins in Atlantic City.

The Convention opens with a moving tribute to Governor Connally, delivered by a very emotional Vice President Johnson. The convention nominates Kennedy and Smathers by acclamation, and Kennedy, in a rousing address, promises a victory in November.

The Republican Nomination

As the election season opened, the Republicans faced a looming civil war between the liberal and conservative factions of their party. Following the announcement of former Vice President Nixon that he would not seek the nomination, several candidates from both sides declare for the nomination, with the frontrunners seemingly being Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York, representing the liberals, and Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona standing for the conservatives.

The first primary, in New Hampshire, goes to Governor Rockefeller by a substantial margin, as expected. The next primary, on April 7 in Wisconsin, goes to Senator Goldwater by a narrow margin. On April 14, Goldwater scores a major victory in Illinois, and then rolls off consecutive wins in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Texas, Indiana, Ohio, Nebraska, and West Virginia, before finally losing in Oregon. The defeat comes too late, and Goldwater has the nomination wrapped up by that point. On May 19, after losing in the Maryland primary, Rockefeller ends the active stage of his campaign, and focuses on securing delegates at the convention in San Francisco.

At the convention, Rockefeller insists on a roll call vote, despite Goldwater having more than enough delegates to win the nomination. Midway through the vote, however, Rockefeller concedes, and Goldwater is nominated by acclamation. He selects Governor William Scranton of Pennsylvania, a Rockefeller supporter, as his running mate.

The General Election

Throughout the campaign, both candidates maintain a very positive attitude. The two friends debate each other in numerous televised, town hall debates, which are evenly split between the two candidates. The final debate, held on October 25, is held on Air Force 1, in one of the most watched broadcasts of the year.

During the campaign, Kennedy appeared to have maintained a solid lead, and on election night, he is reelected by a comfortable margin.


Q:

submit form using ajaxform on checkbox click

I'm trying achieve what it says in the title.
I'm using jQuery and I have the ajaxForm plugin that is used elsewhere in my App.
The code I have currently is
$('form.date-response input[type=checkbox]').live('click', function(){
    $(this).parent('form').submit();
});

But all it seems to do is submit the form, which works, and does the job but it goes to the action to post it. Unlike other forms, it's not using the ajaxForm() request.
Plugin in discussion is http://jquery.malsup.com/form/#ajaxForm

A:

It appears to be very late, I've managed to resolve this quickly if anyone else has similar issues..
$('form.date-response input[type=checkbox]').live('click', function(){
    $(this).parent('form').ajaxForm().submit();
});

Hopefully this is good, and correctly. Please share if anyone has any other solutions.


Share A Happy Message This Summer #SqueezeMoreOut

12:12 AM

One of our favorite things to make while we are traveling on our #90DayRoadTrip is sandwiches. They are easy to make, the ingredients can be stored in a cooler and we do not need any fancy equipment or utensils to put them together. The boys have a great time picking out different combinations each time we go to the store, and I like to try and put a smile on their face and make their sandwiches a little extra special. I have often drawn designs or messages with condiments in their food, but Hellmann's Best Foods at Walmart is making it even easier with their new mayonnaise squeeze bottle.

Hellmann's/Best Foods has released a new squeeze bottle design with all new technology that is geared towards creating less waste, less mess and more control. How you might ask? With the new design, you can easily squeeze out more mayo than with a jar or previous squeeze bottle designs. The clean lock cap keeps you from making messes, and the angled precision tip gives you more control that is perfect for creating messages on your children's sandwiches this summer.

Right now, you can visit the Walmart website to share some happiness with a friend or loved one by choosing your own sandwich and writing a special mayonnaise message. Share your message with them and you will gain instant access to a $.75 off coupon to try the all new squeeze bottle for yourself!

I created our favorite sandwich recipe for the boys the other day to try out the new Hellmann's/Best Foods bottle, and it worked great. We started with some soft white bread, added on some iceberg lettuce, fresh cut tomatoes, smoked turkey breast, honey ham and marbled colby jack cheese. I topped it all off with another slice of soft white bread complete with a happy face. The boys got a real kick out of their mayo messages, and have been asking for them every day since for lunch. The new bottle really is easier to use and there is no more fighting to get mayo out of the bottle and onto the bread.

How do we walk the path of spirit and stand up to injustice? Because at first, being an angry activist and a zen-ny spiritual person seem at odds with each other. Both want to change the world but we've made their roles separate.

What if we challenge the separation and see them as the same, combine them into something new and more powerful, a truly transformational leader? Because if we want to succeed at changing the world, we need to first redefine what is sacred to ALL.
What is sacred to ALL comes down to basic needs and rights - the ability to live without fear, without prejudice, in an environment that is cared for with an abundance of food and water. What is sacred to all is to change systems and laws so that human rights come first always. It’s not your omming or your ability to sit in meditation for 12 hours straight. It’s your capacity to embrace your humanity and apply your love with fierceness.

See what we’ve been learning in the world of spirituality and self development is only half of what it takes to live consciously and mindfully.

We’ve been great at learning how to be zen and powerful and reconnect with our guides and learn to manifest like a badass. What we haven’t been learning is how to apply those tools in the arena of political, social, economic and environmental justice.

We are powerful spiritual beings and it’s time to engage in our calling to move the evolution of our planet forward spiritually, socially, economically & environmentally. This new path is asking us to have a different relationship with our human responsibility.

This is a place to start the discussion to create a new transformational leadership model, one that transforms not just us, but the world we live in - we can redefine the sacred to include dismantling old systems that no longer serve the world.

I’m asking us to build a new paradigm of spiritual leadership - household, community and global leaders who understand the sacredness of our world’s pain and puts action into place for change to happen.

This is our opening.

It’s time to learn the next step in consciousness.
This is being Conscious (Take 2).

See, it's not that our spirituality or our spiritual practice is broken, it's that it's time to move it to the next level of consciousness, one that takes our collective humanity as seriously as our own soul.

As one of my Writing Patrons, I'd also like to let you know that the money raised here is going towards 2 specific projects. The first is the editing, design and publication for my current book, "Sacred Advocacy: A Spiritual Guide To Navigating Political, Social, Economic & Environmental Change in the World" as well as the design and marketing of an Ethical Shopping App to help end global slavery by creating more transparency in manufacturing of clothing found in department stores.

In addition to other environmental measures, O’Hare is planning a new solar farm, slated for completion in 2016, that could provide five to 10 percent of the airport’s electricity needs, according to Chicago Department of Aviation spokesperson Karen E. Pride.

Since 2007 Chicago has hosted an annual international “Airports Going Green” conference which began as a one-day seminar and “has become more than just a conference – it’s a movement,” in Pride’s words.

This year’s conference will be held at O’Hare Nov. 4-7, with a focus on “use of alternative renewable energy, such as photovoltaics and geothermal; use of alternative fuels; waste reduction and recycling initiatives,” according to the conference website

Pride said Chicago was the first airport in the country to adopt a sustainability guidance program for design, construction, operation and maintenance, and tenants and concessionaires.

All construction vehicles involved in the ongoing modernization of O’Hare airport are required to burn ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel; a requirement that started in 2005, five years sooner than federal diesel regulations.The airport has also reduced truck traffic by saving soil onsite and reusing it, avoiding the emissions of 72,000 tons of carbon dioxide, according to the aviation department.

Carbon emissions are also avoided by a requirement that all materials for O’Hare construction be sourced within a 500-mile radius, and by reusing and recycling things like signs and bus kiosks.

A global movement

Air travel and air freight transport involve burn large amounts of fossil fuels; and planes release gases and particles directly into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere where they alter the concentration of other greenhouse gases and help to trap heat in the greenhouse effect.

Airports themselves account for five percent of the aviation sector’s emissions, according to the IPCC. While airline companies and federal regulators are largely responsible for technology and management decisions that impact emissions from aircraft, airports around the world have committed to reducing their on-the-ground carbon emissions and electricity use to help curb the significant climate impact of the industry.

In Europe, 64 airports have joined an Airport Carbon Accreditation program that awards recognition on four ascending levels – for carbon “mapping, reduction, optimization and neutrality.”

Many U.S. airports are adopting direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions reduction measures, including large-scale solar PV installations, which are “well-suited to airports due to the available space, unobstructed terrain, and high energy demand,” in Pride’s words.

Chicago’s second urban solar farm

Chicago already has a 41-acre, 10 MW solar farm on the far south side. The O’Hare solar farm will be located on 30 acres north of the airport and potentially also two separate 10- and 12-acre sites. If the full 52 acres is developed, Pride said, the installation could provide up to10 percent of the airport’s electricity, depending on the type of panels chosen, their efficiency and other factors.

The solar farm won’t cost the city anything; a private company will lease the land, install and maintain the solar panels and sell energy to the aviation department under a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) that Pride said will “allow the CDA to lock in a price for the electricity it purchases…providing predictability in its energy costs for a long period of time.”

Pride said representatives of more than 50 companies attended a meeting about the project in July, and a request for proposals is open through the end of September. The aviation department will recommend one of the proposals to the city council for approval by the aviation committee and then the full council. Construction is slated to begin in 2013 and be complete by 2016.

O’Hare already has a solar thermal installation on its fire department station, with 10 solar thermal collectors installed in 2006 that provide the building’s hot water. Chicago’s other airport, Midway International, has 24 wind turbines on its elevated parking structure.

Among other measures touted by the aviation department, Chicago’s airports have installed eight electric vehicle charging stations – one that can fully charge a vehicle in half an hour, and seven that charge a vehicle in three to eight hours. And the department says installing 1,100 efficient runway lights and 2,400 interior lights will save enough energy to power 68 homes.

Promotional videos add that the installation of water bottle filling stations past security avoids the emission of 27,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year, presumably in the bottling and transport of disposable water bottles, though it is unclear how many passengers using the filling stations would actually have bought water otherwise.

The bigger picture

Even the most innovative improvements at airports in the Midwest and elsewhere could be a relative drop in the bucket if air traffic continues to grow without major regulatory, technology and corporate behavior changes in the U.S. and abroad.

A 1999 IPCC report warns of greatly increased emissions from aviation in spite of technology and efficiency improvements, because of the sector’s projected growth (though these projections were made before the global economic crisis).

As the IPCC report notes, aircraft emissions can be reduced substantially through increased engine efficiency, more streamlined or lighter aircraft design, cleaner (lower sulfur) fuel or alternate fuels such as hydrogen and biofuels. Air traffic control management practices and simply reducing the total number of flights could also cut down on emissions. But these measures are basically matters of federal regulation and airline company policy; individual airports or city administrations have little power over such factors.

The International Air Traffic Association, which represents 230 airlines in 125 countries, in 2007 adopted a carbon emissions reduction platform based on improvements in technology, infrastructure and management (including air traffic control), combined with economic incentives. The plan has to do mainly with the role of airline companies and the federal government, though airports and municipal aviation agencies like those in Chicago could figure in.

Chicago’s aviation department has also partnered with United Airlines, Boeing, Honeywell and the Clean Energy Trust in forming the Midwest Aviation Sustainable Biofuels Initiative (MASBI), which promotes research and development of lower-emissions aviation biofuels in a 12-state region.

Pride said the project, “holds promise for biomass feedstock, technology development, job creation and sustainable commercialization. MASBI will deliver a comprehensive evaluation of the region’s biofuel potential and a plan to support regional and national needs in a responsible manner.”

Q:

Why don't my extensions show up in Banshee?

+++ Note: The behavior detailed in this question might actually be a bug. Awaiting comment from developers in Bug 748461.

I installed Banshee along with the community extensions pack. When I opened the program the first time, I got a long list of extensions to chose from, for example the Zeitgeist data logger.
The second time I started Banshee only half of that list was still showing up! I tried to deinstall Banshee completely by going to Synaptic and selecting "Completely remove Banshee". To my surprise, however, when I then reinstalled Banshee all settings were still there. The extensions list also stayed the same.
What can I do to access all the other extensions?
To make clear how it looks like, here are two screenshots:

The installed package

This list looks rather empty for such a huge amount of extensions....

A:

This particular problem was simply a bug. It has been fixed and should not occur anymore. If it does, please comment here!

"Americans like to talk about Democracy but, when put to the test, usually find it to be an 'inconvenience.' We have opted instead for an authoritarian system *disguised* as a Democracy. We pay through the nose for an enormous joke-of-a-government, let it push us around, and then wonder how all those assholes got in there."

"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."

~Frank Zappa~

...since we've been living in a POLICE STATE for quite some time now. Since the beginning, really. That's because property ownership and Capitalism was always at the center of what was of most importance in this business of ours. And as long as it remained that way, we were never truly free.I suppose such a blatant act such as this one, where there is no longer any pretense being made as to who holds the power in this country, may have FINALLY aroused the few brain cells that remained in denial (not everyone, of course - some still cling to HOPE!). But the disconnect between what the laws said and what was happening in reality should have been apparent. To anyone who was awake.However, I now fear that for us to right this wrong, it will cost much in bloodshed. But of course bloodshed is what this is all about. And it will be shed one way on another.- It's just a matter of how much and whose......K&R

Sodium Search

“Right! I’ll attempt at being more cautious,” replied Iggy hastily as he continued to navigate his way downwards, tightly holding onto the steel bars of the ladder. “I think you’ve a great deal of potential to join a circus,” he went on. “You’re an incredibly flexible and talented acrobat, and that accounts for so much! You’d blow them all away, I know you’ve got it in you, Lemmy. Success is—”

He stopped abruptly when his brother asked him if he could see the bottom of the cave, and he changed the subject.

“I’ll check!” He titled his head downwards, squinting at the pitch black air surrounding him. However, it was a huge mistake, for his glasses fell right off of his face. He heard them hit the ground, but was unsure if they had broken or not.

“Blast it! My spectacles…I can’t see a thing!” Although the ladder wasn’t particularly fuzzy to Iggy, his distance vision was completely blurred. “Must have forgotten to adjust the stupid things,” he muttered to himself.

Lemmy reacted in a worried and surprised tone. He also was a bit guilty about it since he asked him to check. Then, he holds the ladder harder.

"..Don't worry i will get them for you!"

Ready to go, he takes the long horizontal steel bars on the right and slide really fast to the bottom while dodging Iggy carefully. He did it so fast that Iggy couldn't have the time to say if he wanted him to do it or not. After a while, Lemmy hits the bottom and fall on his feets, not having any harms. He looks around and sees Iggy glasses on the ground. It looks like they haven't been broken much.

"Yes! Now, i will go back to Iggy. Im not going any further without him!"

Then, he realised he couldn't handle the bars AND the glasses at the same time.. He thinks a little while to find an solution! "I know!" He puts the glasses carefuly on his head and climb up the ladder in a fast pace while being careful of not making the glasses fall. Since he has good balance, he knew how to not make them fall.

Iggy was surprised at the speed his smaller brother showed whilst sliding down a single steel bar. It caught him off guard at the time, but he wasn't surprised due to the smaller's athleticism. "Tremendous!" He was impressed with his brother's physical skills, as usual. Although he could have attempted to slide down also like his brother did, he decided he didn't want to take that risk yet since he couldn't see well at the moment, so he stayed put.

When his brother climbed back up the ladder with the glasses on his head, Iggy suppressed a laugh and simply reached out for them with one hand, keeping his other firmly gripping a single bar. He successfully grabbed them and quickly placed them back over his eyes. "Thank you very much, Lemmy," he said. "You have my gratitude!"

With that, the tall, slender koopaling decided to try out what Lemmy had a moment before. He grabbed ahold of one bar, and quickly slid down to the bottom of the cave. He landed on his feet, but tripped and fell onto his face a second later. "Whaaah!" He picked himself up off the ground and dusted off his body and his shell.

Lemmy was happy to hearing that but also was proud to be useful and surprising him. "Haha no problem Iggy! It was fun anyway!"

Then, he was surprised to see Iggy mimicking his slide, it could be dangerous. Seeing him doing it well, he just followed him by sliding with the other bar. When he came down on his feet in a perfect balance, he looks at Iggy with a little laugh.

"Haha, be careful bro, it's more dangerous than it looks! But you still slide like a pro, just need to work on the landing!" He laughs a bit then looks at him curious. "Oh, since we are here, we should find that sodium, no?"

Iggy was about to give his brother a playful, sharp retort but he refrained. It occurred to him they needed to find that sodium metal before anything happened to it. “Precisely,” he said with a hasty nod of his head. “We need to grab ahold of it before it dissolves…In fact, we don’t know if someone else is after it or not at the moment. C’mon, Lemmy! We need to make haste…”

He began to head deeper and deeper into the cave, the surrounding air darkening as he navigated through it. “If only I’d brought a flashlight with me,” said Iggy.

After what felt like forever, Iggy finally reached a dead end of the cave. He was about to turn around until he saw something bright silver-white in the distance. He rushed over to it and signaled for Lemmy to follow. "I...I think I might have just found it!" he exclaimed, beaming with pride. "You've helped me a lot as well, Lemmy," he continued. "I couldn't have done it withou-"

Suddenly, the ground shook. It sounded as though a few rocks slid off the walls and fallen into the cave. Perplexed Iggy turned around and studied the air. "What the...?"

Little did they know, a giant, monstrous creature was headed their way.

Lemmy followed Iggy into the cave and he was happy when Iggy found the sodium metal and was flattered to help him so much but he didn't had the time for answer. The ground shock surprised him and even scared him a little.

"I-I think it's better if we head fast to the exit, no?" He tells Iggy, not being aware that they are followed

Iggy began to hastily collect as much sodium metal as he possibly could, and he signaled for Lemmy to help him. "I reckon that is a wise move," he replied, ready to dart out of the cavern. "We've come this far, and we cannot have our find get into the hands of..."

He was just about ready to leave the cave, when it occurred to him he and his brother were trapped. Upon turning around, he saw just what had cornered them. It was a giant koopa troopa. But not any ordinary one. It was a giant, silver, mechanically built koopa, it's height nearly ten feet tall.

"A robotic koopa...?" Iggy did not expect to see this today. He figured the koopas that initially owned the sodium metal might have constructed it as a guard, to watch over their sodium stash. For a moment he stared at Lemmy, unsure of what to do in this situation, but soon an idea came to him.

"If we can somehow dislodge the wires in the back of the mechanical koopa's head," said Iggy. "It should inevitably cause it to shutdown. But our actions need to be hasty." He explained to Lemmy it might be best for him to fight the koopa while Iggy made his way around it. "Lemmy!" he exclaimed. "Mind providing me a diversion?"

Lemmy tried to help him but he didn't had the time, surprised by that giant robot. He had no idea what to do but when Iggy asked a divertion, he got back his own confidence and answered to him."Sure!! Look at me, i've got a lot of sodium metal!!"Then, he takes some of the sodium metal on his hands and started to play with to make the robot keeps attention of him. The robot approches him as he continued to play with.

Iggy gripped the sodium metal as tightly as he could in one hand without breaking it, and he rushed around towards the back of the robot. "Good distraction, Lemmy!" he called out as he grabbed the bot with one hand and began to slowly climb up.

The robot koopa witnessed Lemmy had a bunch of sodium metal in his hands, and he began to get irritated, his eyes lighting up a bright shade of red. He barely noticed that Iggy was on him and he continued to approach Lemmy, flaring up with rage.

"Lemmy...!" shouted Iggy, trying his best not to lose his balance. "Perhaps you should try something a little more complex. For example, maybe you could provide him some distracting entertainment! Like juggling the metal!" He continued his way up the robot's back.

"Oh yeah nice idea!! He said lively Hey Mister the robot, check this out!" He makes appears a big balloon under him and start to juggle with the sodium metal on the top of his balloon. He founds it fun and was happy to have more public even if it was only a robot. He had so much fun he was forgetting all the danger this situation could be and juggles pretty well on the top of the balloon.

The robotic koopa's eyes changed from an angry, burning red into a calm light blue. It seemed to be enjoying Lemmy's performance, and it chuckled with delight. It was distracted so easily!

Iggy gave Lemmy a smile as if to say "Nice work, keep it up!" and soon he reached the top of the robot. He chuckled maniacally as he reached over to the front of its head and cupped his hands tightly over the robot's eyes, causing it to lose balance and stumble backwards.

As soon as it had succumb to the double distractions, Iggy gave the back of the robot's head a good tug, and soon it opened, revealing a cluster of various wires. "This oughta'..." He quickly reached inside and allowed his fingers to tightly grip the wires. With a forceful pull, he snapped them in half, and small sparks of electricity flew about the air. Thinking fast, he sprung towards the opposite side of the robot and slid downwards.

When he landed, he clumsily rolled into a ball with Lemmy. "Whhawawawawah!"

Moments later, the giant robot shut down and fell backwards, making a loud crash when it came into contact with the cavern ground. It's eyes turned back to grey. The machine was immobilized.

{Seeing the robot being happy and calm made me smile }Lemmy was a bit dizzy with everything that happened. He shakes his head and see the robot on the ground and looks back to Iggy, smiling and excited."Haha! That was amazing!!" He said happily! "You beaten that HUUUUUGE robot!!!" He was pretty proud of his brother and was excited about what just happened.

The thin koopaling picked himself up off of the ground. He quickly glanced over to his smaller brother, making sure he was OK. He was relieved to see everything seemed to be fine, and he placed a hand on Lemmy’s shoulder, returning the smile to him.

“Well…” he began, excitement shining in his own eyes. “You should know I couldn’t have performed such a feat without you, Lemmy! You’ve assisted me a large amount! So, I can't take all the credit.” He thanked his brother for the help, and then he looked into his hands, realizing he had that large stash of sodium metal. “I think it would be wise to retreat from this cavern,” he said. “Wouldn’t want to end up in even more trouble…And I can certainly assure you those koopas might have built themselves another guard. But that’s just a hypothesis.”

He began to head for the exit of the cave, signaling for Lemmy to follow him.

Iggy navigated his way to the entrance of the cavern, pushing a couple of rocks out of the way which had fallen due to the robot earlier.

"Here's the plan," he said, turning towards Lemmy for a brief moment. "We exit this cavern and make our way back to my laboratory as hastily as possible, that way we can-" He hesitated, realizing something much to his dismay. The unstable ladder from before had fallen to the floor. "..."

Iggy was beginning to get a bit nervous and he turned to Lemmy again. "Well, you see..." He signaled to the ladder on the floor. "The ladder seems to have fallen. Therefore, maybe we could use the balloon to...It's going to sound far fetched, but maybe the balloon can hoist us back up to the surface?" He looked at the small orange object, convinced there wasn't enough helium to allow them both to float back up to the cave's entrance. But maybe it was worth a shot?

Lemmy looks at the bridge then at his tiny balloon, there was no way this could lead them to the top of the pit.. Then, Lemmy remembered he had his tiny wand with him."Wait, I think they can help us!"Lemmy spawned a lot of differents bouncy balloon all over the place, they were bouncing a lot and caused to Iggy and Lemmy to bounce closer to the top."I- I think this could work!" He said, panicking a bit, trying to not fall down. "We just have to not fall down!" Lemmy looks back to Iggy to check if he's okay while laying on a balloon, trying to stabilize "Can you do it as well?"{Also, sorry if im answering a bit late, I will try to answer faster now!}

Iggy got into a ready position and hastily looked around him when Lemmy cast the spell for balloons to appear and bounce around everywhere. "Of course," he said quietly. "Should've thought of that myself!" He did the best he could to copy Lemmy, positioning himself on top of a balloon, trying not to fall. He slipped a little at first, but then he got the hang of it as he gripped it tightly, trying not to pop them due to his sharp, koopa claws. "This should bring us back up to the surface!" He looked up confidently, waiting for the balloon to hoist him up. "Here we go-ho-hooo!"~

{{No problem as well!}} Lemmy keeps jumping balloons from balloons and did an incredible jump that lead him to the side of that entrance and takes the side to not fall down, slowly getting out of that pit.

"Phew.. Join me Iggy!" He said,looking down for Iggy at where he came from.

Finally, the balloon hoisted Iggy up to the surface of the cavern, even though it took him a little longer than Lemmy to arrive. At least he was successful. "Huuuuh!" He landed with a thud and quickly picked himself back up again. "Preposterous," he snapped, but playfully. "All that just for a couple of chunks of sodium metal?!"

He laughed as he looked around for his smaller brother. "Lemmy...would you be OK?"

Iggy grabbed his brother's arm and helped him up, even though he knew he was perfectly capable of it himself. "We are quite the exquisite duo," he answered, quickly high-fiving his smaller brother. "Those plumbers have nothing on us!"

He was proud of his brother and thankful for the help he'd given him. He felt he should ackowledge it and he rubbed the back of his neck. "Hey," he began, turning towards Lemmy. "Thanks a lot, Lem. This mission was tougher than I expected it would be initially, but we pulled it off excellently. And I've only you to thank! You have all my gratitude." He placed a hand on his brother's shoulder and smiled.

"Now we'd better haul on out of here..." A twinge of mischief shone through his glasses and in his eyes. "Care to race me out of the forest?"

Lemmy high-fived back his bro with his usual enjoyed laugh and when he said his gratitude, he answered with a smile back before hearing that they gotta hurry out to the forest and look at his brother with a determined look, ready for a challenge.

"Okay im ready! The last one outside of the forest is a Baby Koopa! Hehe!"

After saying that, he started to run happily to the outside of the forest, he could be fast when he want to but he tried to run not too fast so there would be some competiton.

The intelligent koopaling knew it would be a long way out of the forest, and he had only so much stamina. He planned to save the majority of his speed, which he tended to have a lot of, especially in sprints, for end of the race. He began to run alongside his brother, pacing himself so he didn't tire out. Iggy made sure each of his strides were lined up properly as he hastily turned to his brother and chuckled. "Now, there'll be no cheating!" he teased. "No running atop that giant ball of yours..."

"Haha, don't worry!" He answered, turning to his brother as well before teasing him back. "I don't need it to beat you!" He started to run quicker than him, maybe he knows he has to force him to use his stamina? Or maybe just for fun.. You never know with that little Koopaling!


Thornhill College

Thornhill College is a Roman Catholic grammar school for girls. It is located in Derry, Northern Ireland.  It has a student population of approximately 1500 and a staff of 100 teachers.

History
The nucleus of the present Thornhill College commenced shortly after the Sisters of Mercy came to Derry in 1848. The Sisters started a private school for girls in Pump Street. The school was known as the Convent of Our Lady of Mercy School, Derry. Its first Scheme of Government under the then Ministry of Education was drawn up in February 1925. When Watt's Distillery closed in Derry, and the Estate at Thornhill, on the outskirts of Derry, became available for sale, the Sisters, with the kind assistance of Robert Boyle, a builder in Derry, completed the purchase of the property in 1929. The house was adapted to the needs of the nuns and of the boarders. The Sisters involved moved from Pump Street to Thornhill Convent along with the boarders, and the Convent of Our Lady of Mercy School was officially transferred and opened on 8 September 1932 with an intake of 120 pupils, and a staff of about seven Sisters and three lay teachers.

After the Education Act, Northern Ireland in 1947, the number of pupils had increased rapidly as grammar school education became available to more and more children through the eleven plus examination. The school also had a change of name to Thornhill College, Convent of Mercy Voluntary Maintained Grammar School and various new buildings completed but these were insufficient. After many years of much effort, the present building was approved and opened in 2004 across the road form the old site in the new Thornhill College. At that time, the Sisters of Mercy withdrew from trusteeship, and gave it over to the Bishop and the Diocese of Derry.

Motto
The school motto is the Latin phrase "Adveniat Regnum Tuum", which translates as "Thy Kingdom come".

Academics
In 2009 Thornhill College became a Specialist School in Mathematics and Physics. The Specialist Schools Programme helps schools, in partnership with private sector sponsors and supported by additional Government funding, to establish distinctive identities through their chosen specialisms and achieve their targets to raise standards.

In 2018 Thornhill College was ranked 17th out of 192 schools in Northern Ireland in terms of its A-level performance.  A total of 84.3% of its students entered for A-Levels achieved a grade of A* – C.

In 2018, 97.4% of its entrants achieved five or more GCSEs at grades A* to C, including the core subjects English and Maths and the college was ranked 28th out of 191 schools in Northern Ireland.

In 2017 the college took first place in the Northern Ireland Schools' Analyst Competition which is organised by the local Analytical Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry and involved 12 schools from right across Northern Ireland.

Debating
Thornhill College has a Senior Debating Society, established in 1954.  The team were runners-up in the final of the Northern Ireland Schools Debating Competition in 2007, and is known throughout the school for wearing the gold stripe around the lapel of the debating blazer. Thornhill had two teams in the semi-finals of this competition who debated against each other on 30 March 2007 in Belfast. In 2017 the society had two teams in the final of the Queen's Literific Society Debating Competition one of which was the outright winner. The society meets regularly to debate topical subjects and research up and coming competitions. The school also has an established Junior Debating Society who meet after school as part of the homework club. A member from the senior debating society made the national debating team and competed in the 2018 and 2019 World Schools Competition.

Statue
On the "teardrop" at the front of the school there is a piece of sculpture called 'Stepping Out'. The piece was designed by the school's Head of Art and Design, Mr Eamon McAteer and constructed by Maurice Harron and the final sculpture was officially unveiled in 2008. It comprises three abstract figures which represent pupils of the school dancing.
