Prostitutes want to protect Mustang Ranch
Wire Services | Submitted by: Razor
The Mustang Ranch should be saved from demolition and turned into a museum, say some of the women who once worked at Nevada's most celebrated brothel... "Cowboys, lawyers, doctors, politicians, pro football players, you name it, they all came through there," said Tia, a Mustang Ranch prostitute from 1996 to 1999. "It's not much to look at, but it's got history." Umm, they all CAME thru here...?

Man who stabbed pig for pork chops gets 90 days
Sarasota Herald-Tribune | Submitted by: Orpyak
A man accused of savagely stabbing a pet pig, then blurting out in drunkenness that he wanted pork chops, was convicted of felony cruelty to animals and sentenced to 90 days in jail. Edwin "Louie" Deason, 44, injured the 50-pound Vietnamese potbellied pig so severely in the December incident that it had to be killed because one stab wound left it unable to walk. Prosecutors said Deason made drunken, belligerent comments to sheriff's deputies.

Jessica dies at 23 of old age
KNBC-TV 4 Los Angeles | Submitted by: Tim Howard
Moooving on to greener pastures: "A 23-year-old cow who once made national headlines after she was wooed by a moose has died of old age. Jessica became the object of the moose's affection in October 1986, said her owner, Larry Carrara. The moose, which Carrara named Josh, stayed for 76 days, fawning over Jessica, a brown and white Hereford. Most of the time, Jessica demurely shrugged off many of Josh's advances. However, Jessica allowed some nuzzling and neck caresses."

M-I-C, K-E-Y, O U S O B's: "Three former Disneyland managers who allege they were fired or forced to resign because of their ages were not victims of discrimination but failed to meet 'the Disney model,' a Disney attorney told a court Wednesday. In opening statements in Orange County Superior Court, attorney Daniel F. Fears said his client, the Walt Disney Co., has strict policies prohibiting employee discrimination and harassment. But according to the plaintiffs' lawsuit, Disney had created a 'hit list' of individuals over the "legally protected age of 40" that the company wanted to 'eliminate.'"

Pass the screwdriver
Ottawa Citizen | Submitted by: Tim Howard
You kiss your mother with that mouth? "A Liberal senator has been thrown into the firestorm of shaky U.S.-Canada relations after the Senate's Debates quoted him shouting "Screw the Americans" during a Senate sitting this week. The quote was attributed to outspoken Senator Laurier LaPierre, who has expressed anti-American sentiments in the past, in the official transcript of Tuesday's Senate sitting. Opposition MPs and senators were quick to jump on the quote as another example of the Liberal government's strong anti-Americanism."

A Note for devs: This lib is using ECMAScript6. To make changes, first run npm install in your local repo's directory. Make all your edits within the 'src' directory.  This compiles the fugly ECMA6 code to ECMA5. If successful, you can see your changes in the browser.js file (in the root of this project). You can run browser.js as a normal js file.


Conversion of plain Python into TensorFlow graph code.
NOTE: In TensorFlow 2.0, AutoGraph is automatically applied when using
tf.function
. This module contains lower-level APIs for advanced use.
For more information, see the AutoGraph guide.
By equivalent graph code we mean code that generates a TensorFlow graph when
run. The generated graph has the same effects as the original code when executed
(for example with tf.function
or tf.compat.v1.Session.run
). In other words,
using AutoGraph can be thought of as running Python in TensorFlow.

Reports: Gareth Bale names the one Premier League club he will join if he leaves Real Madrid
by HarigovindAccording to reports, Gareth Bale has only one Premier League club in mind, where he has decided to join should he leave Real Madrid in January or next summer – Manchester United.
It is Mundo Deportivo who claims, via TeamTalk that Bale would still rather join Manchester United than his former club Tottenham Hotspur, despite Jose Mourinho’s appointment as their new head coach.
On Thursday, Spanish newspaper AS reported that Bale will come back to Tottenham as “a treat of Mourinho”, who “intends to make him return to London next summer”.
But on Friday, Mundo Deportivo claimed that Mourinho’s arrival at Spurs actually “complicates” the Welshman’s expected return to the North London outfit.
The news agency further added that Manchester United are still “the Premier option” for Bale.
On Friday, Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane also asked fans to support the 30-year-old, despite his controversial flag celebration after Wales qualified to the 2020 UEFA Euro Cup.
“There is a lot of noise because of Bale’s gestures but in the end, the most important thing is football,” Zidane said, before adding:
“Regarding Bale, I am just going to look at the sporting side, not what happens outside.”
“He is a part of our team. You don’t have to look at anything else. People have to be with Bale because he is with us. He is fine and has trained normally.”

We Asked Anupam Kher About His Love For Modi. It Got Intense
The actor opened up about his films, his politics and why he doesn't see anything wrong in chanting Jai Shree Ram.
by Ankur PathakMUMBAI, Maharashtra—Anupam Kher looks woefully under-slept. His eyes have thick bags under them and an air of exhaustion engulfs him. He’s been spending a lot of time in New York, where he’s currently shooting for NBC’s medical drama, New Amsterdam. The actor isn’t new to working in the US, having appeared in major Hollywood films such as Silver Linings Playbook and The Big Sick, where he played the father to a Pakistani American.
Over the years, Kher has acted in so many films that it feels that every 90s movie had Anupam Kher in it. More recently, the actor has been vocal about his endorsement of the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government and often shares incendiary tweets comparing the arrests of JNU students Kanhaiya Kumar and Umar Khalid to ‘pest control.’
As we settled for our interview in a Juhu five-star (I was given 10 minutes, the interview went on for about 19), Kher remained calm throughout our conversation, slightly raising his voice when I broached the topic of toxic nationalism.
Edited excerpts:
You play the role of chef Hemant Oberoi in the upcoming Hotel Mumbai, inspired by the 26/11 attacks on Mumbai. What did playing such a part mean to you?
Yes. Hemant showed commendable bravery. More than just 26/11 the film is also about the extraordinary courage of ordinary people. They (the staff of the Taj hotel) could’ve just run away. They got people safely out and came back to get more. So in some ways, the film is a tribute to the culture and people of Taj. This wasn’t their job. They didn’t have to do it. And yet they did. It speaks about their humanity, the kind that sometimes comes at the cost of your own life.
You’ve done over 500 films, which is objectively a mind-boggling number of movies. Today, what motivates you to go on a film set considering you’ve played all sorts of parts already?
I have a great sense of wonder. I’m excited about life. I’m most eager to learn. I’m terrified of being called veteran, legend or a thespian. One of the reasons I decided to work in New York is because I don’t want to carry the burden of being Anupam Kher. I’m a newcomer there. Otherwise it can get boring.
“Maine 500 film kari,” yes, that’s all very good, but I’ve to ask myself, “Aagey kya kar rahe ho? (What are you doing next?). So that makes me feel lighter and then I can fly higher without the fear of falling down. I believe in communication, in listening, in talking to people and not at people. I’m excited about this conversation we’re having. Millions come to Bombay to become actors but a tiny percent of them make it here, so everyday I’m excited about living up to what life has given me.
Big actors often become a victim of their own stardom. But can you tell specifically, how revealing it is for you the experience of working in a US TV show (Kher appears in the NBC drama New Amsterdam)?
I wake up at 5 in the morning to do my lines. I’m a Hindi medium student so I don’t think in English. I think in Hindi. I play a doctor, a neurologist, so I gotta get the lines right, the terminology right. It’s a lot of hard work and I haven’t done this kind of prep since drama school (Kher is an alumni of the National School of Drama, Delhi). I recently started learning the piano. I started swimming. These are all tools to keep reinventing the artist in you.
There’s that artistic side of Anupam Kher and then there’s the political side. Have you ever felt that the two have been in conflict with each other?
Well, I speak my mind, yes. About the nation. And you make a lot of enemies as a result. People who don’t think the way you do start getting wary of you. But you need to be popular with yourself and not popular with people. Nobody in the world is popular with everybody. If you give an opinion, not everybody will agree with you but you’ve to agree with yourself.
Under the current establishment, it seems like a safe bet to align one’s views with that of the government. Those who hold a critical view against the BJP are cornered and massively trolled by what appears to be BJP’s own IT cell.
That’s not true. You wouldn’t believe how badly I get trolled online. I’d say everybody gets trolled, irrespective of their political position.  These things make you angry and upset but as I said, I have to be popular with myself.
On August 6, when the BJP govt announced the scrapping of Article 370, which would bifurcate the state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories, you tweeted, ‘The Kashmir Solution’ begins.
 What made you say that?
I didn’t know that was the reference. For me that wasn’t the connection but that’s what many people pointed out. I think in Hindi so for me it’s just ...(trails off).
You are saying you didn’t know the term at all and the context that it was used in the past?
How will I know it?
It’s part of World War 2 history and widely understood as a derogatory term.
Well, let me ask you, do you know what is Stanislavski’s Method acting? Will you be able to explain? If you write, oh he didn’t do method acting in that role, it doesn’t mean you have to know what method acting is. I have nothing to apologise for. And apologise to who? For the families of people who were thrown out of their homes, their women raped, their men butchered? It’s almost 30 years since the (mass displacement of Kashmiri Pandits)...
What happens when we have blind devotion towards the establishment is that you fail...
Why do you call it blind devotion?
Because a lot of those who follow the government are blind towards its shortcomings and its many failings...any criticism against the govt gets you branded as ‘anti-national’.
That’s your point of view and not necessarily the truth.
Yes, it indeed is. My question to you is: Do you not believe that your fondness and commitment towards Modi has blinded you to the government’s shortcomings and failings?
That’s a hypothetical question. If it happens, I will probably do that.
No, but the way you shower love to the BJP, will you also be equally critical to its failings? Because I’ve never seen you do that.
If I feel like it, I will do that.
And so far you don’t think there have been any reasons to question the government?
If I feel like, I will say it. You’re making my social media into your Bible. I don’t need to give you any clarity. If I feel that the present Prime Minister is doing great work, is there anything wrong in that? I’ve not praised the government, I’ve only praised Modi. Do you find anything wrong with it?
Given the economic crisis, the rate of unemployment, the loss of jobs... you’ve conveniently not spoken ...
It seems you’re from a different establishment, constantly raising questions about the present.
Because that’s what journalists do.
In contrast, I feel there’s an amazing amount of development taking place in India. Things are happening. There’s not a single government that hasn’t felt the loss of GDP, loss of this thing or that thing. We’re living in a country where a great amount of goodwill is being created internationally. There’s swachata, women empowerment, all sorts of things.
Yes, like lynchings and minorities in the country feeling threatened, a culture of fear creeping in where people are afraid to speak freely.
Of course that should not happen. I think we should talk about lynchings of all people. We should talk about everything. Lynchings as well as the exodus of Kashmiris. Who’ll really talk in favour of lynchings?
But whenever people have called this out, they’ve been threatened and bullied. Recently, when a bunch of filmmakers wrote to the PM to look into the rising communal violence, there was a counter-letter by artists who support Modi. What does that say about us?
If for a second you forget the religion aspect of it, you cannot defend lynchings, like at all. It’s a brutal human rights violation which is against the very idea of India
Of course. I’d like to know, what is your idea of India?
The idea of India is rooted in its secularism and progressiveness where those inhabiting it do not feel threatened in their own country.
You don’t feel India is secular?
I feel that fabric of secularism is fast eroding
I don’t think like that. Do we have the right to think differently?
But when you read reports about Jai Shree Ram being weaponised and people are being forced to chant it ...
No, no. Not at all.
Well, that’s what the data suggests is happening
I don’t believe in data. I believe in what I get to know about it. What’s wrong in Jai Shree Ram? What is wrong in it? (raises voice)
Nothing wrong in it as long as I’m not forced to chant it.
I’m not forcing you to. You don’t need to chat it.
You aren’t but there are many instances where this is happening
There are instances of other nature too. What about them? You can’t take one or two instances and make it a national issue.
No, it seems to be a pattern. I won’t bring it up if it were an isolated issue although that too is problem.
I see nothing wrong in Jai Shree Ram. You were born a Hindu, what is wrong in wearing a tilak?
Again, as a liberal, I don’t have a problem with it as long as you don’t impose others to do it. The second part is doing it because I fear the repercussions as a result of not doing it. Like it happens with the National Anthem.
I think we should stand for the National Anthem.
Yes, but it shouldn’t be compulsory. Why should anybody have to prove their patriotism for others?
Those who don’t, it’s their issue. What can I say?
 That’s what happened recently to a bunch of cinema-goers in Bangalore.
You think I’m that uneducated. Of course, I do not defend or justify any kind of heckling. It’s your choice to not and it’s mine to stand. But I will teach my kids to stand for the National Anthem. If a Muslim can say Allahu Akbar, I will say Jai Shree Ram, I will say Bharat Mata Ki Jai. I will say Jai Shree Ram.
Chants shouldn’t come at the cost of other people’s humanity which...
Of course it shouldn’t. I agree with you completely. I may not be as highly educated as you are but I believe in the religion of humanity and togetherness. However, if you are born into a certain religion, you do grow up feeling closely about it. I’m a victim myself. 400,000 of Hindus were thrown out of Kashmir in the 90s because they were Hindus. Because of their religion. Nobody was chanting Jai Shree Ram at that time! How many questions did you ask then?
I wasn’t born at the time.
You were not there in World War 2 also? You were not there in 1984 also? But you still asked me those questions!
I asked you in context of your present tweets about the current situation in Kashmir
But I don’t follow you on Twitter! Why don’t you ask those questions also! You asked me about Jai Shree Ram but are you writing about the Kashmiri Pandit exodus?

Show me an article that you’ve written! You must send me an article. I look forward to reading it. I will really respect you for that. You may not agree with the policies of the current establishment but your questions shouldn’t be about that. Please send me an article about Kashmir Pandit exodus published in the Huffington Post.
If our site existed then, we’d have definitely reported about it, the way we’re doing now about the current situation
If you can ask me about Jai Shree Ram, you have to ask me about everything else too.
I’m asking you about it because it’s an ongoing crisis in the country at the present moment
And what happened in the past was fine? That was okay? You please send me an article.

In response to I Don’t Know Swift:
Is this career advice? I am a web developer thinking about a “career change” to iOS. Since I have no background in CocoaTouch or anything Apple, would your advice be the same, to learn Swift?
I’ve received different versions of this question since the day after Swift was released, from ObjC lovers and haters, seasoned pros and the uninitiated. Having had a very unusual (and privileged) career path, I’m probably not qualified to give career advice, but I’ve been asked enough that maybe it’s worth talking about. Maybe I can frame how to think about it, even if I can’t give you satisfying certainty. Maybe that’s all advice really is.
For the iOS newcomer from dynamic, scripting languages
Let me start with the most interesting case to me, and the one that started this post: you know nothing about iOS and come from mostly a web background. Should you learn Swift?
Right now is the hardest time you could pick to learn iOS. Does that excite you? Then absolutely; come learn iOS. You can have an influence on the platform today in ways that won’t come again soon.
But if you stayed away from iOS because of square brackets, I assure you that today’s Swift has a higher learning curve. Someday Swift will be simpler to learn than ObjC, especially once more of Cocoa is tailored to it.1 But today, crazy features like implicitly unwrapped optionals are something you have to deal with on day one. We’re still working out the best ways to deal with common coding problems. The handful of tutorials are mostly based on a few days of experience. And has anyone mentioned that the compiler still crashes all the time.
Yes, Swift calls methods with parentheses. That doesn’t make it anything like JavaScript. The square bracket rules in ObjC are simple, and dot notation is only slightly more complicated. The rules for parameter names in Swift still trip me up. Today’s Swift is not a language for the easily intimidated. It is a language for the curious and the inventor. If you start most projects by installing a long list of dependencies, Swift probably isn’t ready for you quite yet.
</span>
Swift’s syntax looks slightly more like dynamic languages than ObjC. That’s an illusion caused by type inference. Swift is much more strongly typed than ObjC. It’s much closer to Scala than to Ruby. You’ll spend a lot of time fighting with the compiler to accept your program due to confusing type errors. If your reaction is “thank goodness the compiler is verifying that my code is legal, I hope they improve the error messages soon,” then Swift is your language. If your reaction is “stupid compiler; I know this code will work fine, just run it” then you’re going to hate Swift.2
For the iOS newcomer from strongly-typed, compiled languages
If you’re an experienced Java, C#, or C++ programmer, it’s possible that Swift will be a more natural transition than ObjC. The generic programming aspects have some similarities (though C++ developers will probably be frustrated at the lack of iterators). If you’re a Scala developer, then Swift will probably make much more sense than ObjC.
But still, as for web developers, this is the hardest time to learn iOS. The
features of Swift are in flux and probably will be for a while. Cocoa is still
Cocoa. If you find UITableViewController
confusing, absolutely nothing has
changed with Swift.3
The reason to learn Swift is because you want to develop for iOS. But today, the easier route is to come through ObjC and pick up Swift when it stabilizes. The reason to learn Swift today is to be part of the beginning of Swift.
For experienced ObjC devs
If you’re shipping Cocoa apps today, clearly you’re going to stay in ObjC for some time to come. You certainly shouldn’t go rewrite your whole app. For new apps, the more complex it is, the more I would suggest ObjC. If it’s pretty simple, it may be a great place to try out Swift, at least for some parts. The great news is that it’s not all or nothing. You can write one class in Swift and another in ObjC, and it really seems to work pretty well.
Treat Swift like Autolayout.4 You don’t have to jump over the first day it’s released, but eventually you’re going to need to come over or things are going to get harder and harder. The best approach is to experiment with it early, and migrate as you develop new things. There’s no need to jump onto it day one unless that’s your interest. But within 2-3 years, you likely should do new work in Swift unless there’s a specific reason not to. And you should definitely learn Swift sometime over the next year or two. Clearly that’s what Apple wants long term, and fighting Apple as an iOS dev is a losing game.
For the iOS newcomer from functional languages and for general language enthusiasts who don’t care about Cocoa
I have a whole post planned for you. Stay tuned.
OK… so what do I do?
Look, do what you want. I’ve made my career focusing on things that interested me that later turned out to be commercially valuable. I’ve been really lucky. That probably doesn’t work for everyone, so who am I to give advice? But since you asked…
If you’re totally excited about Swift, start today. Why are you even asking me?
For other Cocoa-devs, pick up Swift over the next couple of iOS releases.
For non-Cocoa devs, if you need to ask, then you probably shouldn’t jump into
Swift today. If you have the time to learn a new language,
learn Haskell.
I’m not even a very good a Haskell programmer.5 That’s not the point. The
point is that Swift wants to be functional.
It isn’t functional, but it wants to be.
So if you want to understand the future of Swift, first learn the basics of
Haskell.6 You should be able to read
Chris Eidhof’s JSON Parser and know
why <*>
and >>=
were the obvious operators to use. You may agree or disagree
with his parser, but if you can’t read Haskell, you won’t even understand the
discussion.
I remember programming in the mid-nineties when objects started to become “a thing.” Understanding objects, at least the terminology, eventually become an important part of being a real programmer. OOP had been around for decades at that point, but it was the mid-nineties when it started to matter. The paradigm changed, and today many programmers have trouble contemplating programming without objects. But I did professionally for years. Even as people started to discuss OOP, there was a lot of resistance because it was too confusing, too slow, too bloated, to academic. But today, even Fortran has objects.
I see the same things happening today in functional programming. After decades of existing on the edges of the profession, it now comes up often in mainstream discussions, and it will definitely continue to influence Swift. When Swift is finally ready for you, you’ll be much more ready for Swift.
So that’s my advice, for what it’s worth. Get ahead of that wave. When you do that, you’ll have a useful skill no matter the platform. But more about that in my next post.
And then yeah, sure, come play with us in Swift. It’s a blast!
-
My assumption is that 8.X will clean up some of the Cocoa
!
s and similar tweaks, along with significant optimizer improvements. Then 9 will see some Swift-ification of Foundation (or more Foundation features in Swift stdlib). 10 will see more Swift-ification of UIKit (maybe replacing more selector-based patterns with closures). The specifics are just conjecture, but making iOS development a Swift-centric experience is clearly a multi-release effort. ↩ -
On the other hand, if you’re comfortable with type theory, you may find Swift’s type system a bit limited. And the stdlib types in Beta 4 are still ugly and restrictive IMO. They’re getting better, but they still heavily rely on private details that make implementing your own Collections and Generators very frustrating. I hope this is cleaned up by v1, but I don’t know that it will be. ↩
-
And nothing is likely to change in the foreseeable future. The use of delegates and datasources in
UITableView
are on purpose and work exactly as intended. If you don’t like that approach, you are unlikely ever to like iOS development. I happen to thinkUITableView
is pretty brilliant. ↩ -
For Mac devs, ObjC is the new Carbon. Take your lessons on its future from that.  But eventually they’re going to start breaking ObjC things so that Swift can work better. ↩
-
The joke is: Haskell is the language that proves you’re a bad programmer. I guess my next post should be titled “I don’t know Haskell, either.” ↩
-
I feel like I should justify “why Haskell rather than X” here. Why not ML, OCaml, F#? But if you follow the FP discussions floating around Swift, Haskell is always front of mind. It’s the only FP language that Chris Lattner calls out explicitly as an influence in Swift, and it includes a lot of the concepts that are working their way into Swift. If you’re going to pick one FP language to start with, it’s the one I recommend. ↩


kubernetes的ceph RBD volume(2): 使用Ceph RBD作为persistent volume
以下是使用ceph RBD作为persistent volume的例子：
A PersistentVolume
(PV) is a piece of networked storage in the cluster that has been provisioned by an administrator. It is a resource in the cluster just like a node is a cluster resource. PVs are volume plugins like
Volumes, but have a lifecycle independent of any individual pod that uses the PV. This API object captures the details of the implementation of the storage, be that NFS, iSCSI, or a cloud-provider-specific storage system.
A PersistentVolumeClaim
(PVC) is a request for storage by a user. It is similar to a pod. Pods consume node resources and PVCs consume PV resources. Pods can request specific levels of resources (CPU and Memory). Claims
can request specific size and access modes (e.g., can be mounted once read/write or many times read-only).
1. 先创建image在pool里。

Platforms: Unix
Nagios has been around for quite some time, but producing output it can consume is something of a black art. Only the plugin documentation actually explains what all the extra semicolons or extended formatting even means.
This is especially onerous when performance consuming add-ons expect a specific structure before operating properly. This package strives to greatly simplify the process of actually generating Nagios output.
Platforms: Unix
The Plugin module provides all the parts necessary to create a simple Nagios report for a service or host check by removing all that pesky inside knowledge necessary. All the classes and methods provided here reduce plugin creation to a few lines of python unless the plugin is especially complex.
All specifications for this module are obtained from the Nagios developer documentation.
from NagAconda import Plugin
from Person import Dude
feet = Plugin("Plugin to quantify current foot odor.", "1.0")
feet.add_option('t', 'target', 'Person to check for odor.',
required=True)
feet.enable_status('warning')
feet.enable_status('critical')
feet.start()
roommate = Dude(feet.options.target)
feet.set_value('stench', rommmate.gym_socks())
feet.finish()
This is the primary control class for NagAconda.
The attributes available here are direct-access to parsed options and arguments, not class-level variables.
Adds a Nagios-style help option to this plugin.
| Parameters: |
|
|---|
Enable warning or critical exit statuses.
Nagios requires error levels to be returned by the running application to evaluate exit status since the text is indeterminate. For Nagios:
- 0 - Status OK
- 1 - Plugin is notifying a warning state.
- 2 - Plugin is notifying of a critical error or state.
- 3 - Some unknown or unhandled error occurred.
- other - Nagios will report this as a plugin failure.
By default, warnings and critical errors are not enabled, in case the plugin is just tracking values. This method will turn them on and add the proper command-line elements so the user can set them.
Note
If warning or critical is enabled, failing to provide them to the plugin will result in an automatic exit and presentation of the usage documentation.
When plugins make use of multiple performance metrics, they may also have different scales, and hence warning/critical ranges involved. In this case, ranges must be passed by the command-line in comma-delimited format.
| Parameters: |
|
|---|
Checks the proper warning/errors and prints out all results.
Once all values have been set through ordinary means, it remains to check them against our warning/critical status ranges if necessary and output all our wonderful results so Nagios can consume them.
Set a performance measurement for output to Nagios.
There is theoretically no limit on the number of metrics being tracked in Nagios performance output. That said, we strongly recommend reading the Nagios developer docs to understand how warning and critical test ranges are handled.
Should a minimum or maximum value be provided here, they will only be used to build percentage ranges, and will not otherwise affect operation of Nagios.
This should always be called after the start method.
Note
Any value parameter that is not submitted as an numeric type will be converted to one so tests work properly.
| Parameters: |
|
|---|---|
| Raises ValueError: | |
When an invalid scale is passed. |
|
| Returns string: | One of ‘ok’, ‘warning’ or ‘critical’, as to how this value compared to the enabled and supplied thresholds. |
Invokes all preparation steps to retrieve host/service status.
Starts the actual plugin’s work. The Plugin class will start by parsing any options so the whole process can short-circuit before we do anything important.
Note
This method may exit directly to the console.

Template version v2.0.1
Hello,
thank you for downloading. I hope you wil enjoy working with the
template.
You are entitled to get free lifetime updates to this product.
This documentation is to help you with template's customization. Basic HTML and CSS knowledge is required to customize this template. You may learn basics here, here and here.
You will need the following sofwares to customize this template.
This template uses Bootstrap 4 CSS framework, a powerful tool to help you building great websites in a short time.
/css
- CSS files including Bootstrap CSS, CSS for the components
and main template stylesheets/icons-reference
- Custom icons list and sources/fonts
- Font Awesome icon font/img
- Images for demo purposes. Mostly replaced by placeholder images in
the download archive./vendor
- Contains the files of the template packages./js
- Javascript files/scss
- SCSS source files for easier customizationThe theme stylesheet is css/style.default.css
. Colour variants are named accordingly,
to use a different colour variant, just replace link to the style.default.css
with
e.g. style.pink.css
in the <head>
element in HTML files.
I suggest placing your changes and CSS declarations in custom.css
file. This way, you
will keep your code separated and you can update the original template stylesheet if an updated
is released.
This template contains its SCSS source codes too. These can be very handy when you would want to create your own custom colour variant, create a new button style and similar situations.
If you are completely new to SASS, check out their official website and download a compiler for your OS. SASS uses a bit different syntax than CSS but you should not have a problem working with it if you understand CSS.
The easies way to change theme colours, fonts and any CSS rules in general is by editing the SCSS files.
In the SCSS directory, there is a main file style.default.scss
or its colour variants.
In these files, we just define which of the predefined colours will be used and the rest is done
by core.scss
file. It takes control of all the necessary module includes. The modules
(blog, pages, etc.) are located in the modules subdirectory.
core.scss (core file handling all the includes) style.default.scss (main file) style.blue.scss (main file) style.green.scss (main file) style.pink.scss (main file) style.red.scss (main file) style.sea.scss (main file) style.violet.scss (main file) theme.scss (main Bootstrap components based on settings in the variable file) -- <modules> (includes all partials included in the main stylesheets - style.default.scss, etc.) ---- _general.scss - generic styling of the template -buttons, header, footer, sections.. ---- _functions.scss - Bootstrap 4 functions ---- _mixins-custom.scss - my custom mixins ---- _mixins.scss - Bootstrap 4 mixins (included from the mixins directory) ---- _variables-custom.scss - file based on the Bootstrap 4 variables file. ---- _demo.scss - styles for the demo purposes only ---- <mixins> (original Bootstrap 4 mixins) ---- <utilities> (original Bootstrap 4 ulilities)
Main template file is called js/front.js
and takes care of the following tasks. Most
of them can be reconfigured there too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2.0.0 - 2018/03/21 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Upgrade to Bootstrap 4.3.1 - Updated plugins - jQuery validation (1.19.0), Popper.JS (1.14.7) - Fixed - Magnifying glass icon alignment in Gallery ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2.0.0 - 2018/03/21 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Upgrade to Bootstrap 4.0.0 - Moved 3rd-party plugins to vendor directory - Added SCSS files - Updated plugins to last stable versions - Replaced Lightbox2 plugin with MagnificPopup plugin ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.0.0 - 2017/03/09 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Initial release

Susan Granger's review of "SWEET AND LOWDOWN" (Sony Classics)
Vintage jazz aficionados will appreciate Woody Allen's fanciful mock documentary about a legendary musician of the 1930s, allegedly the second-best jazz guitarist in the world. This totally fictional character, named Emmet Ray and embodied by Sean Penn, is a jaunty, self-absorbed egotist who justifies his aloof, amoral behavior by explaining that he's an "artist." Ray lives in awe of his idol, Django Reinhardt, the son of gypsies who lives and plays in France, and brashly admits that loves his guitar more than any woman who ever shared his bed. There are two memorable women with whom the itinerant Ray becomes involved. First, he lives with the long-suffering, worshipful Hattie (superbly played by British actress Samantha Morton), a mute laundress whom he picks up on the Boardwalk on the Jersey shore. Then, he impetuously marries the beautiful, bitchy Blanche (Uma Thurman), a socialite writer searching for inspiration. Anthony LaPaglia, Gretchen Mol, and John Waters contribute supporting roles, and famed Chinese cinematographer Zhao Fei (Raise the Red Lantern) makes a memorable American film debut. The sensational soundtrack includes I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles, Limehouse Blues, It Don't Mean a Thing, Sweet Sue, All of Me, and I'll See You in My Dreams, tastefully arranged by pianist Dick Hyman - but, curiously, not the title song, written by George and Ira Gershwin for the 1925 musical Tip-Toes. There are more than a dozen guitar solos by the real-life Django Reinhardt, lifted from his old recordings, while musician Howard Alden supplies the notes for Sean Penn's realistic guitar strumming. On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, Sweet and Lowdown is a genial, light-hearted, rhythm-filled 8, whimsically proving that art imitates life.

Public Member Functions | |
| def | __new__ |
| def | __eq__ |
| def | __ne__ |
| def | __hash__ |
| def | __repr__ |
| def | is_configuration |
| def | merge |
| def | __getstate__ |

A base class for a configuration object. Subclasses should provide validation functions for every configuration option they accept. Any public function decorated with ConfigOption is assumed to be a validation function for an option of the same name. All validation functions take a single non-None value to validate and must throw an exception or return the value to store. This class forces subclasses to be immutable and exposes a read-only property for every accepted configuration option. Configuration options set by passing keyword arguments to the constructor. The constructor and merge function are designed to avoid creating redundant copies and may return the configuration objects passed to them if appropriate. Setting an option to None is the same as not specifying the option except in the case where the 'config' argument is given. In this case the value on 'config' of the same name is ignored. Options that are not specified will return 'None' when accessed.
| def google.appengine.datastore.datastore_rpc.BaseConfiguration.__new__ | ( | cls, | |
config = None , |
|||
| kwargs | |||
| ) |
Immutable constructor. If 'config' is non-None all configuration options will default to the value it contains unless the configuration option is explicitly set to 'None' in the keyword arguments. If 'config' is None then all configuration options default to None. Args: config: Optional base configuration providing default values for parameters not specified in the keyword arguments. **kwargs: Configuration options to store on this object. Returns: Either a new Configuration object or (if it would be equivalent) the config argument unchanged, but never None.
| def google.appengine.datastore.datastore_rpc.BaseConfiguration.is_configuration | ( | cls, | |
| obj | |||
| ) |
True if configuration obj handles all options of this class. Use this method rather than isinstance(obj, cls) to test if a configuration object handles the options of cls (is_configuration is handled specially for results of merge which may handle the options of unrelated configuration classes). Args: obj: the object to test.
| def google.appengine.datastore.datastore_rpc.BaseConfiguration.merge | ( | self, | |
| config | |||
| ) |
Merge two configurations. The configuration given as an argument (if any) takes priority; defaults are filled in from the current configuration. Args: config: Configuration providing overrides, or None (but cannot be omitted). Returns: Either a new configuration object or (if it would be equivalent) self or the config argument unchanged, but never None. Raises: BadArgumentError if self or config are of configurations classes with conflicting options (i.e. the same option name defined in two different configuration classes).


Reports any calls to start() on java.lang.Thread
or any of its subclasses during object construction. While occasionally useful, this construct should be avoided due
to inheritance issues. Subclasses of a class which launches a thread during object construction will not have finished
any initialization logic of their own before the thread has launched.

Bartholomap project
The map below, the 'Bartholomap' shows how long it takes from London to any place in the world. This page tells the story how I came to make the Bartholomap. For the technical details and code I refer you to the HOWTO and GitHub repository. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
John George Bartholomew's map
menu
A while ago I read an article in Intelligent Life about a hundred year old map that showed how long it took to travel from London to anywhere on the globe. The map, made before airtravel was common, shows the influence of shipping routes and intercontinental railways. Within a month you could travel to all but the most remote and landlocked places.
Air travel map
menu
Since that map was created the world has changed, and I was wondering how such a map would look like if it was created today. Since airtravel is the popular choice for long distance travel I decided to start with that. The OpenFlights project provides a list of airport-locations and flight-routes. Taking London as a starting point and using 600km/h as travelspeed it was fairly easy to calculate the time it takes to get to each of the ~3000 airports in the list. TBD: link naar github. Since contemporary travel is so much faster I changed the scale from days to hours:
within 5 hours5 to 10 hours10 to 20 hours20 to 30 hours30 to 40 hoursover 40 hours
Enhance with actual destinations
menu
However as any traveler knows, being at the airport doesn't mean that you have arrived. To further the resolution of the isochronic map I used the 7000 places from Natural Earth Data to calculate the travel time to actual places. For each place I looked up the nearest airport and within a radius of a 1000km the nearest nonstop, one-stop and two-stop airports. For all four airports I calculated the total traveltime from London via that airport to the destination. This was done by using the excellent Open Source Routing Machine.
As the crow flies
menuFor about 190 places which did not get a result from the previous exercise, I decided to divide them into landlocked and coastal cities. (This could be done way more advanced, but I just looked on the map and made a judgement call). For both types of places I calculated the straight line distance (using great arc distance) and decided upon 5km/h as landspeed and 25km/h for water. This may sound slow, but this is 'as the crow flies' in terrain without roads. Boats obviously are less hindered by the lack of roads.
Manual labour
menuThis is as far as the automated process can go. John George Bartholomew created his map by hand, and to reimagine his map I'll have to do some handwork myself. The isochronal lines generated by turf.js are lines and not nicely closed polygons with holes. With some QGIS magic I created the necessary polygons which I then could load into Inkscape to create the map but also load into MapBox Studio to create the slippy map below.


Tree-like exploration of object referrers.
This module provides a base implementation for tree-like referrers browsing. The two non-interactive classes ConsoleBrowser and FileBrowser output a tree to the console or a file. One graphical user interface for referrers browsing is provided as well. Further types can be subclassed.
All types share a similar initialisation. That is, you provide a root object and may specify further settings such as the initial depth of the tree or an output function. Afterwards you can print the tree which will be arranged based on your previous settings.
The interactive browser is based on a TreeWidget implemented in IDLE. It is available only if you have Tcl/Tk installed. If you try to instantiate the interactive browser without having Tkinter installed, an ImportError will be raised.
- class pympler.refbrowser.RefBrowser(rootobject, maxdepth=3, str_func=<function _repr at 0x7f8a58afe500>, repeat=True, stream=None)¶
Base class to other RefBrowser implementations.
This base class provides means to extract a tree from a given root object and holds information on already known objects (to avoid repetition if requested).
- get_tree()¶
Get a tree of referrers of the root object.
RefBrowser implementation which prints the tree to a file.
Print referrers tree to file (in text format).
keyword arguments tree – if not None, the passed tree will be printed.
Interactive referrers browser.
The interactive browser is based on a TreeWidget implemented in IDLE. It is available only if you have Tcl/Tk installed. If you try to instantiate the interactive browser without having Tkinter installed, an ImportError will be raised.
Create interactive browser window.
keyword arguments standalone – Set to true, if the browser is not attached to other windows

And I wouldn't trade ol' leroy Or my chevrolet for your escalade
Or your freak parade I'm the only john wayne left in this town
Cause I saddle up my horse And I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise Cause the girls They are so pretty
Riding up and down broadway On my old stud leroy
And the girls say Save a horse, ride a cowboy
Everybody says Save a horse, ride a cowboy
I'm a thourough-bred That's what she said
In the back of my truck bed As I was gettin' buzzed on suds
Out on some back country road.
We were flying high Fine as wine, having ourselves a big and rich time
And I was going, just about as far as she'd let me go.
But her evaluation Of my cowboy reputation
Had me begging for slavation All night long
So I took her out giggin frogs Introduced her to my old bird dog
And sang her every wilie nelson song I could think of And we made love
Cause I saddle up my horse And I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise Cause the girls They are so pretty
Riding up and down broadway On my old stud leroy
And the girls say Save a horse, ride a cowboy
Everybody says Save a horse, ride a cowboy
What? What? Save a horse ride a cowboy

PRINCE OF DARKNESS A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1987 Mark R. Leeper
Capsule review: A very demanding and very rewarding horror film. Horror and science fiction combine together to make a film for real long-standing horror film fans only. Lots of old stuff but a lot that even the long-time fans have not seen before. The last half-hour is a let-down, but it is hard to imagine an ending fitting the buildup. Rating: +2
A lot of horror films are coming out about now. Released in one weekend are both PRINCE OF DARKNESS and NIGHT FLYERS. Earllier this year Clive Barker directed and wrote HELLRAISER. BELIEVERS, based on a respected horror novel, came out this year. Then there were a number of minor pieces of the NEAR DARK ilk. Horror, I understand, sells well on videocassette, so it is pretty tough for a horror film to lose money. I was vaguely aware that the aforementioned PRINCE OF DARKNESS was from John Carpenter, but he has had a spotty career. I like his DARK STAR, HALLOWEEN, THE THING, and maybe a few others. His most recent, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, was a good idea that went amazingly bad. But then things are not always what we expect. PRINCE OF DARKNESS, for example, turns out to be the best thing that Carpenter has ever done. It may well be the fantasy film I will want to remember from 1987.
For 2000 years the Brotherhood of Sleep have kept secret what Christianity was *really* about--have kept secret the true nature of evil and of the Devil, a secret with roots far older than humanity. Now, 2000 years after they discovered the secret, it is becoming important to understand it once more. The laws of physics are changing and the focus of all that is happening is one small rundown church in Los Angeles. There a group of scientists, their graduate students, and a priest are trying to unravel the mystery of what is happening. And what is happening will tie together particle physics, mathematics, and orthodox Christianity.
PRINCE OF DARKNESS has everything it needs but the payoff. The final third of the film is good Carpenter-style suspense, but it fails to live up to the promise of the first two thirds of the movie. If it had, this would have been an excellent science fiction film as well as a good horror film. As it is, PRINCE OF DARKNESS is rich in ideas and has some good suspense to boot, but doesn't quite deliver.
I really enjoyed the film, but have to give this film a qualified recommendation. It takes a lot of effort just to understand as much of what is going on as the director wants to show you. There are many scenes that are deliberately disturbing and a lot more that are violent, though it has been pointed out to me that there is very little actual blood. If you haven't seen many horror films, you may not find this one worth your effort; there are a lot of other good films out there. If you have seen a lot of horror films, you will recognize little ideas here and there from (are you ready?)  Yes, there are recognizable ideas inspired by each of these, yet there are so many new ideas in this horror film that the familiar ones are outnumbered.
The name of the man who crafted all these ideas into a single screenplay is Martin Quatermass. Perhaps that is a pseudonym and even a film reference. Since some of the images, like the marauding street schizophrenics, are reminiscent of images out of Carpenter's ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13, it is at least conceivable that the film was written by Carpenter himself. In any case, it is often hard to follow exactly what is happening; the film makes the audience work a little. And a little knowledge of paradoxical 20th Century physics helps to set the atmosphere (that's a remarkable statement all by itself!).
If you are tired of seeing old ideas rehashed in horror films, PRINCE OF DARKNESS will show you a lot you haven't seen before. You people (and me) who wanted to see a horror film of power in Clive Barker's HELLRAISER: sorry, Barker didn't deliver, but PRINCE OF DARKNESS is what you were expecting. I'd give it a high +2 on the -4 to +4 scale.
DISCLAIMER: As might be obvious, a film that audaciously plays with ideas will appeal to me more than to the viewing public at large. A prime example is LIFEFORCE, itself a film that gave a science fictional alternate interpretation to traditional beliefs.

hivexsh
Section: Windows Registry (1)Updated: 2011-06-28
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
hivexsh - Windows Registry hive shellSYNOPSIS
hivexsh [-options] [hivefile]
DESCRIPTION
This program provides a simple shell for navigating Windows Registry 'hive' files. It uses the hivex library for access to these binary files.Firstly you will need to provide a hive file from a Windows operating system. The hive files are usually located in "C:\Windows\System32\Config" and have names like "software", "system" etc (without any file extension). For more information about hive files, read hivex(3). For information about downloading files from virtual machines, read virt-cat(1) and guestfish(1).
You can provide the name of the hive file to examine on the command line. For example:
hivexsh software
Or you can start "hivexsh" without any arguments, and immediately use the "load" command to load a hive:
$ hivexsh Welcome to hivexsh, the hivex interactive shell for examining Windows Registry binary hive files. Type: 'help' for help with commands 'quit' to quit the shell > load software software\>
Navigate through the hive's keys using the "cd" command, as if it contained a filesystem, and use "ls" to list the subkeys of the current key. Other commands are listed below.
OPTIONS
- -d
- Enable lots of debug messages. If you find a Registry file that this program cannot parse, please enable this option and post the complete output and the Registry hive file in your bug report.
- -f filename
-
Read commands from "filename" instead of stdin. To write a hivexsh
script, use:
#!/usr/bin/hivexsh -f
- -w
-
If this option is given, then writes are allowed to the hive
(see ``commit'' command below, and the discussion of
modifying hives in ``WRITING TO HIVE FILES'' in hivex(3)).
Important Note: Even if you specify this option, nothing is written to a hive unless you call the ``commit'' command. If you exit the shell without committing, all changes will be discarded.
If this option is not given, then write commands are disabled.
COMMANDS
- add name
-
Add a subkey named "name" below the current node. The name may
contain spaces and punctuation characters, and does not need to be
quoted.
The new key will have no subkeys and no values (see "setval").
There must be no existing subkey called "name", or this command will fail. To replace an existing subkey, delete it first like this:
cd name del
- cd path
-
Change to the subkey "path". Use Windows-style backslashes to
separate path elements, and start with a backslash in order to start
from the root of the hive. For example:
cd \Classes\*
moves from the root node, to the "Classes" node, to the "*" node. If you were already at the root node, you could do this instead:
cd Classes\*
or even:
cd Classes cd *
Path elements (node names) are matched case insensitively, and characters like space, "*", and "?" have no special significance.
"cd .." may be used to go to the parent directory.
"cd" without any arguments prints the current path.
Be careful with "cd \" since the readline library has an undocumented behaviour where it will think the final backslash is a continuation (it reads the next line of input and appends it). Put a single space after the backslash.
- close | unload
-
Close the currently loaded hive.
If you modified the hive, all uncommitted writes are lost when you call this command (or if the shell exits). You have to call "commit" to write changes.
- commit [newfile]
-
Commit changes to the hive. If the optional "newfile" parameter is
supplied, then the hive is written to that file, else the original
file is overwritten.
Note that you have to specify the "-w" flag, otherwise no writes are allowed.
- del
-
Delete the current node and everything beneath it. The current
directory is moved up one level (as if you did "cd ..") after
this command.
You cannot delete the root node.
- exit | quit
- Exit the shell.
- load hivefile
- Load the binary hive named "hivefile". The currently loaded hive, if any, is closed. The current directory is changed back to the root node.
- ls
- List the subkeys of the current hive Registry key. Note this command does not take any arguments.
- lsval [key]
- List the (key, value) pairs of the current hive Registry key. If no argument is given then all pairs are displayed. If "key" is given, then the value of the named key is displayed. If "@" is given, then the value of the default key is displayed.
- setval nrvals
-
This command replaces all (key, value) pairs at the current node with
the values in subsequent input. "nrvals" is the number of values
(ie. (key, value) pairs), and any existing values at this node are
deleted. So "setval 0" just deletes any values at the current node.
The command reads 2 * nrvals lines of input, with each pair of lines of input corresponding to a key and a value to add.
For example, the following setval command replaces whatever is at the current node with two (key, value) pairs. The default key is set to the UTF16-LE-encoded string ``abcd''. The other value is named ``ANumber'' and is a little-endian DWORD 0x12345678.
setval 2 @ string:abcd ANumber dword:12345678
The first line of each pair is the key (the special key "@" means the default key, but you can also use a blank line).
The second line of each pair is the value, which has a special format "type:value" with possible types summarized in the table below:
none No data is stored, and the type is set to 0. string:abc "abc" is stored as a UTF16-LE-encoded string (type 1). Note that only 7 bit ASCII strings are supported as input. expandstring:... Same as string but with type 2. dword:0x01234567 A DWORD (type 4) with the hex value 0x01234567. You can also use decimal or octal numbers here. qword:0x0123456789abcdef A QWORD (type 11) with the hex value 0x0123456789abcdef. You can also use decimal or octal numbers here. hex:<type>:<hexbytes> hex:1:41,00,42,00,43,00,44,00,00,00 This is the generic way to enter any value. <type> is the integer value type. <hexbytes> is a list of pairs of hex digits which are treated as bytes. (Any non-hex-digits here are ignored, so you can separate bytes with commas or spaces if you want).

Caravela is a type of ship created by the Portuguese; it's a fast and agile vessel that enabled them to discover new worlds. As the Portuguese did centuries ago, so too can you expand your horizons in this platform.
Learn moreThe program is divided into 3 modules: "Culture & History", "Sounds & Pronunciation" and "Vocabulary & Grammar". Each module is composed of several chapters and at least one questionnaire to consolidate your knowledge. You can freely jump between chapters to learn at your own pace. Don't expect to achieve a high level of Portuguese; this is meant as a small taste of what you could learn; a gateway for you to learn more if you so desire.
There are 262 million native Portuguese speakers in the world and it's the official language of 10 countries worldwide.
It shares a lot of similarities with other languages that also come from Latin, making it a good place to start learning those as well.
Portugal is the oldest country in Europe and was once a huge empire; its heritage is also taught in this platform.
