Indonesia Travel Tips
Visitors to Indonesia Vacation Rentals
Indonesia is a beautiful tropical paradise. The country is made up of more than 17,000 islands of which only about 6,000 are inhabited. Some of the islands are land masses that are shared with either Papua New Guinea or Malaysia. Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi are the three largest of the islands wholly owned by Indonesia. Indonesia has many beautiful beaches and coral reefs. Because of its year-round warm climate, it attracts many sun lovers and people who enjoy beach vacations.
Bali is known for its vibrant night life and well-run beach resorts. The coral reefs in Indonesia are some of the best in the world. Scuba divers often are those who like to visit the more remote islands and dive on the pristine coral reefs that are found there. Indonesia is a place that is culturally interesting. Eating out is an experience and the local food is fragrant and spicy. Many fruits and vegetables are grown on the islands and make up a major part of many of the local dishes.
Attractions at Indonesia Villas
Bali is the most well known of Indonesia's islands. It has a wealth of resorts and has probably the most efficient tourist infrastructure. The area is a contrast of beautiful sandy beaches and forested highlands which attract the more adventurous travelers. Sulawesi is known for its top-class dive sites. On land, it has an equally rich diversity of fauna and flora. Sumatra is an island that is known for its rugged landscapes and wild natural resources. It is also one of the most populated on the islands and holds great cultural wealth. Kalimantan is the far southeastern part of Borneo. The island is an adventurer's paradise. Thick jungle covers most of the island which is home to the well-known Orangutan. The island of Java is where you will find the big city of Jakarta. If you have an interest in Indonesian culture you can experience it here.
Finding Your Way to Your Indonesia Accommodation
While there are numerous airports in Indonesia, because of the many islands that make up the country, the three main airports are found near Jakarta, Denpasar on Bali, and Surabaya on East Java. Most international flights from Europe, North America, Australia and other Far East cities will arrive in either Denpasaror or Jakarta. Often for flights from the United States, you will need to route via one of the nearby Far East cities such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Toyko or Kuala Lumpur. If you are already traveling in the Far East, you may consider taking a ferry from Malaysia as this is more affordable. However, be sure to check the weather report before traveling as some ferries will depart even if the weather is too dangerous to travel. In general, the safest way to travel from point to point in Indonesia is by plane. There are good regional flight connections that can take you to some of the more remote destinations. Stick to the more reputable airlines as the low-cost offers are usually on local airlines that are poorly maintained.
Best Time of Year to Visit Indonesia
Indonesia straddles the equator and therefore has a warm and tropical climate. There is very little temperature variation between the seasons. In fact, there is no such thing as summer, winter, spring or autumn in Indonesia. Rather, the seasons are referred to as either being wet or dry. Typically, the dry season runs from April to October. This is generally the preferred season for travel. One thing to note is that rain still occurs in the dry season; it just rains less. The wet season is from November to March and generally the low travel season.

Been here? Rate It!
Take a coat!
A tip - when going to attend the Horse Show, be aware that the covered ring is COLD and DAMP. So, take a coat. We attended in December, on a lovely sunny day, and after sitting for a while, we were frozen, even wearing a warm fleece and a hat!
Okay, this is winter here but the temperature outside was 18 degrees.
Even in summer I would advise wearing some sort of coat/pullover.

Bring On The Dancing Horses
If you like horses, well a bit more than if yours wins the 3.30 at Aintree then this is the place for you. Here the andalucian dancing horses perform (I think twice a day) in the main arena.
Some of the skill on display is amazing to watch especially when the horses do their dancing, think john travolta with four legs.
Get there early as there is high demand and you will find yourself in a big queue, just as we did. To be fair they waited until everyone was in before they started the show so fair play to them.
if I remember rightly you aren't supposed to take photo's until a certain point in the show but all around people were taking a few sneeky shots. I think its more to do with the flash aspect of things and those who used theres were told off by the glum faced girls watching the crowd.
All in all a nice experience and there are some beautiful grounds to walk round after the show.
Even if you go on a normal training day, when there's no show, it's still wonderful. The horses seem to DANCE! I thought the guide who showed us round was good too – not only v knowledgeable, but also adaptable (for different visitors, interests, levels of knowledge...), kindly and conscientious

Why choose Jerez?
Jerez de la Frontera is a small town. I had a problem choosing between it and Cadiz. It was the Fundacion Real Escuela Andaluza Del Arte Ecuestra (the Royal Horse School) that decided me on Jerez.
The Show was simply magnificent. All of the riders but one were men. The one woman was difficult to spot, they all wore the same costumes. I noticed her by pure chance.
The horses are magnificently trained and appear to enjoy showing off. They certainly showed appreciation at the applause which followed each act!
No photography or video taping is permitted during the show - I saw one couple shown out after being warned 3 times for taking photos during the show. At the end there is a 10 minute photo opportunity. The best acts are not at the end!
There is the Show itself held on Tuesdays and Thursday or a guided tour of the premises held on alternate days. One needs to buy separate tickets for each. There is some time after the show to walk around the place and to see the layout, the horses in their stalls, the training areas and so on. To visit the museum and to get a guided tour one must purchase another ticket for a separate date.
There is a pair of beautiful Przewalski's (or Takhi ) Horses. These are the original wild ponies of the Mongolian Steepes now seriously endangered. No such horses have been seen in Mongolia since the early 1960's.
The Horse School is in walking distance of the town, but one can take a wrong turning by mistake. The signs are not sufficient imo, but I got instructions from the Tourist Info Office in town which helped. There is a map on the site, but I didn't find it too helpful:
Note: Seats are reserved and and seat number is assigned according to the date that tickets are **ordered**! Be sure to order well in advance if you want good seats!

Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte ecuestre
The Real Escuela is located in a nice area, an about 15 minutes walk from the centre of Jerez de la frontera. The property is indeed beautiful, very clean and surrounded of a park. There is a beautiful baroque style palace-like building.
The exhibition "Cómo bailan los caballos andaluzes" was for sure the most interesting part of my visit there. They show dressage, horses doing pirouettes or caprioles. All this is accompanied by spanish music and the riders wear traditional costumes of the 18th century. One part of the show is dedicated to carriage riding, in another one the horses are led by hand without saddles. Between each part there is a short description in spanish of what is coming next. Sometimes it really looks as if the horses are dancing - and overall it is a fascinating spectacle. Please note though that they are showing of course movements which are so untypical for a horse and not natural at all. On some of the white horses I could also see traces of blood because of using the spurs. Sometimes I felt relived when they just let the horses do a simple gallop.
A visit to the show costs 25 EUR (row 1-2) or 18 EUR, which I found pretty cheap compared to the prices at the Spanish Riding school in Vienna. The show takes place from 1-3 times (depending on season) a week at noon - please check their website for details.
I also would reccomend to buy your tickets in advance, though in my case the queue for pre-booked tickets was much longer.
Even if you decide not to visit the show "Cómo bailan los caballos andaluzes", you can watch their training in the morning. Of course there is no music then and the riders wear green or blue polo shirts instead of uniforms :).
Coming soon
I haven't got time to tell you about the famous equestrian shows or Flamenco right now, so meanwhile if you are planning to go to Jerez these are two important visits if you like horses and different music forms, so please keep them in mind.
Jerez is the hotbed of Flamenco and you can see some of the most authentic shows here and it is also highly famous for the Cartusian white horses.

Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art
The Equestrian School is definitely worth visiting even if you know nothing about horses or equestrian skills. This immaculate school trains horses and riders in dressage skills to top class standards. Twice a week in the summer there is a show in the indoor arena where the horses seem to "dance to music". On other days of the week, but not the weekend, you can visit the school and stables.
The show starts with a formal bow to the (usually empty) royal box, but it does set the style. It is excellent and demands considerable skill - watch closely and you can see the intensity on the faces of the less experienced riders - no doubt high standards are expected.
The seats are expensive, ours were 17 euros each and that was in 2003, and they were not the top price. Photographs are not allowed inside, presumably so as not to frighten the horses.
Jerez is Spain's capital as far as horse breeding is concerned. In May there is the "Feria del Caballo" held in Jerez - a colourful parade of horses, riders, carriages and flamenco dress, but also a very serious equestrian event.
(Our visit was in 2003 so it would be worth checking the website for latest times and prices)

Royal Riding School - LA REAL ESCUELA, Jerez
If you like horses - go and visist the royal riding school in Jerez. There is a show, almost every day at noon, but it is a good idear to reserve the tickets in advance, for it is quickly sold out. There is a variety of ticket:with some you can only visit the show, with others the show and the museum... it depends on what you want. We bought the cheapest ticket (19 Euro), only for the show and it was great - we didn't miss anything, and there is no use in spending more. You will see a perfect show with wonderfull horses and classical (spanish) music. I liked it very much. Perhaps you combine your visit with a Sandeman Bodega visit, which is just besides the spanish riding school

The world famous equestrian school is Jerez' second claim to world fame.
The school trains horses and riders in dressage, and twice a week there is a show in the indoor arena where the horses "dance to music".
The show is worth seeing, but seats are expensive - ours cost 17 euros each, and they weren't the best seats of all.

Real Escuela Andaluza de Arte Ecuestre - 2
The show itself is held twice a week in the summer, and on the other days you can visit the school and the stables. It is NOT open at the weekends according to the handout I have here.
The show is worth seeing, but seats are expensive - ours cost 17 euros each, and they weren't the most expensive seats available
You are not allowed to take photos inside the arena, presumably because the flash would frighten the horses, and this is enforced by the staff. I did manage to sneak this photo before the show showing the inside of the arena, with the Royal Box at the far end.

The Spanish school for horseriding. It is a beautiful building but unfortunately we were too late to see the training of the horses so if you really want to visit make sure you pick the wright moment (the shows are mostly every thursday and is only open untill13 p.m.

Interest in 4-H remains high in Dakota CountyWhen the Dakota County Fair kicked off Aug. 10 there were the expected displays of cattle and sheep from local 4-H members. But there were also a few displays not typically associated with the traditionally agriculture-based organization.
By: Nathan Hansen, The Farmington Independent
When the Dakota County Fair kicked off Aug. 10 there were the expected displays of cattle and sheep from local 4-H members. But there were also a few displays not typically associated with the traditionally agriculture-based organization.
There were projects on aerospace. Or global positioning systems.
That kind of diversity has helped the local 4-H organization to thrive in a changing atmosphere that affects most youth groups.
From the down economy to the proliferation of other activities young people can do, 4-H leaders say their organization is adapting and surviving.
"4-H, like all organizations, is trying to figure out how to adapt to changing circumstances," said the man who heads Minnesota's 4-H effort, Dale Blyth, director of the University of Minnesota's Extension Center for Youth Development.
"4-H is healthy," he added, offering as proof that state enrollment is up 25 percent in the past five years.
The program is certainly health in Dakota County. According to Cathy Johnson, a 4-H program coordinator in the county, there are about 1,200 kids currently involved in the local program. That is up from recent years, and it doesn't count about 660 involved in an out-of-school program and another 3,500 in Youth Teaching Youth, a program in which teens teach younger children about the dangers of alcohol and tobacco.
As many as 800 4-H members exhibited at last month's Dakota County Fair, and while many of those were in traditional livestock categories more than 600 were in non-livestock categories. About 250 exhibitors moved on to this week's Minnesota State Fair, and a Dakota County team took first place in a consumer decisions competition that asks teams to evaluate similar products and make the smartest buying decision. That team will now move on to a national competition in January in Denver, Colo.
4-H members can still participate in livestock-based categories if they don't live on a farm — it's possible to rent a cow for the year, Johnson said — but as farming becomes less important as a part of everyday life in Dakota County program leaders have to look beyond the barnyard to keep kids interested. In recent years 4-H has added categories in robotics, electricity and food and nutrition, among others.
"We're constantly changing as the need grows with the kids, because they're changing too," Johnson said.
The local 4-H program has programs on dog obedience and agility and recently added an activity that asks kids to produce hula hoops. Local 4-Hers went through 1,600 feet of hula hoop pipe this year and 5,600 feet last year.
Johnson said the key is to find new ways to deliver the same messages 4-H has always taught about decision making, leadership and communication.
"They also build self-confidence through the mastery of their skills," Johnson said. "They learn a lot about citizenship and government."
Johnson, who grew up showing pigs with 4-H, said she still uses many of the skills she learned through the program.
Money troubles?
The Dakota County 4-H program is able to stay strong thanks in part to strong participation and a lot of help from parents. But it also gets financial support from Dakota County. Johnson said Dakota County Commissioners have been very supportive of the program.
Other counties aren't as lucky.
Washington County commissioners pulled their 4-H funding, citing the need to cut $3.2 million in county spending. 4-H supporters there are halfway to their goal of raising $110,000 to keep the program operating for another year.
Blyth said a half-dozen counties are considering trimming their contributions.
"The wild card, if you will, in all of this is the decisions that all 87 county partners have to make," he said.
Cook and Ramsey counties withdrew financial support years ago.
With dwindling state money being sent to counties, commissioners across the state are deciding how to spend less. County contributions total 41 percent of cash used for 4-H programs around Minnesota.
State officials also are looking at ways to cut budgets, but there has been little talk that those funds will dry up.
"Part of the university's promise is that we will make 4-H opportunities available to young people everywhere in the state," Blyth said.
One of the most vocal watchers of taxpayers' money said 4-H is an appropriate place for some of it.
Former Rep. Phil Krinkie, now president of the Taxpayers League of Minnesota, said he can see state money helping those who otherwise could not afford to be in 4-H.
However, Krinkie, whose daughter has won two 4-H State Fair canning blue ribbons, said suburbanites like himself can afford to pay higher dues to help keep 4-H running.
Blyth said there are no state membership fees, although the idea is being considered. County 4-H organizations and some clubs assess dues.

RIVERSIDE — Retired Pomona police Sgt. Frank Holder's was scheduled to be sentenced for bank robbery today, but the hearing was delayed to February, a federal prosecutor said.
Holder, 62, pleaded guilty in August to committing two bank robberies in October last year — one in Glendora and one in Rancho Cucamonga.
Federal sentencing guidelines call for Holder, of Phelan, to receive a prison sentence of 37 months to 46 months, according to prosecutors.

This documentation applies to gipc 0.5.0. It was built on October 22, 2014.
gipc provides convenient child process management in the context of gevent. gipc (pronunciation "gipsy") is a Python package tested on CPython 2.6 and 2.7 on Linux as well as on Windows.
There is plenty of motivation for using multiple processes in event-driven architectures. The assumption behind gipc is that applying multiple processes that communicate among each other (whereas each process has its own event loop) can be a decent solution for many types of problems. First of all, it helps decoupling system components by making each process responsible for one part of the architecture only. Furthermore, even a generally I/O-intense application might at some point become CPU bound. In these cases, the distribution of tasks among multiple processes is an efficient way to make use of multi-core machines and easily increases the application's performance.
However, canonical usage of Python's multiprocessing module within a gevent-powered application may raise various problems and most likely breaks the application in many ways. gipc is developed with the motivation to solve these issues transparently and make using gevent in combination with multiprocessing-based child processes and inter-process communication (IPC) a no-brainer again:
In the following code snippet, a Python object is sent from a greenlet in the main process through a pipe to a child process:
import gevent
import gipc
def child(reader):
assert reader.get() == 0
if __name__ == "__main__":
with gipc.pipe() as (reader, writer):
writelet = gevent.spawn(lambda w: w.put(0), writer)
readchild = gipc.start_process(target=child, args=(reader,))
Although quite simple, this code would have various negative side-effects if used with the canonical multiprocessing API instead of gipc.start_process() and gipc.pipe(), as outlined in the next paragraph.
Depending on the operating system, child process creation via Python's multiprocessing in the context of gevent requires special treatment. Most care is needed on POSIX-compliant systems. There, a fork might yield a faulty libev event loop state in the child. Most noticeable, greenlets spawned before forking are cloned and haunt in the child upon context switch. Consider this code running on Unix (tested with Python 2.7 & gevent 1.0):
import gevent
import multiprocessing
def child(c):
assert c.recv() == 0
assert c.recv() == 0
if __name__ == "__main__":
def writelet(c):
c1, c2 = multiprocessing.Pipe()
writelet = gevent.spawn(writelet, c1)
readchild = multiprocessing.Process(target=child, args=(c2,))
It runs without error. Although the code intends to send only one message to the child through a multiprocessing Pipe, the two assert statements verify that the child actually receives two times the same message. One message is sent – as intended – from the writelet in the parent through the c1 end of the pipe. It is retrieved at the c2 end of the pipe in the child. The other message is sent from the spooky writelet clone in the child. It is also written to the c1 end of the pipe which has implicitly been duplicated during forking. Greenlet clones in the child of course only run when a context switch is triggered; in this case via gevent.sleep(0). As you can imagine, this behavior in general might lead to a wide range of side-effects and tedious debugging sessions.
In addition, the code above contains several non-cooperatively blocking method calls: readchild.join() as well as the send()/recv() calls (of multiprocessing.Connection objects in general) block the calling greenlet non-cooperatively and do not allow for context switches into other greenlets.
gipc overcomes these and other issues for you transparently and in a straight- forward fashion: basically, children start off with a fresh gevent state before entering the user-given target function. More specifically, as one of the first actions, children destroy the inherited gevent hub as well as the inherited libev event loop and create their own fresh versions of these objects. This way, inherited greenlets as well as libev watchers become orphaned – the fresh hub and event loop are not connected to them anymore. Consequently, execution of code related to these inherited greenlets and watchers is efficiently prevented without the need to deactivate or kill them one by one.
Furthermore, on POSIX-compliant systems, gipc entirely avoids multiprocessing's child monitoring implementation (which is based on wait) and instead uses libev's wonderful child watcher system (based on SIGCHLD signal transmission), enabling gevent-cooperative waiting for child termination.
For the sake of gevent-cooperative inter-process communication, gipc uses efficient pipe-based data transport channels with non-blocking I/O. gipc takes care of closing dispensable pipe handles (file descriptors) in the parent as well as in the child after forking.
Overall, gipc's main goal is to allow for the integration of child processes in your gevent-powered application via a simple API – on POSIX-compliant systems as well as on Windows.
gipc's usage is pretty simple. Its interface is clear and slim. Make yourself comfortable with gipc.start_process() and gipc.pipe() by going through the examples and the API section.
As of version 0.3, I am not aware of severe issues. To my knowledge, gipc has already been deployed in serious projects. Generally, you should be aware of the fact that mixing any of fork, threads, greenlets and an event loop library such as libev bears the potential for various kinds of corner-case disasters. One could argue that fork() in the context of libev without doing a clean exec in the child already is broken design. However, many people would like to do exactly this and gipc's basic approach has proven to work in such cases. gipc is developed with a strong focus on reliability and with best intentions in mind. Via unit testing it has been validated to work reliably in scenarios of low and medium complexity. Of course, gipc cannot rescue an a priori ill-posed approach. Now it is up to you to evaluate gipc in the context of your project – please share your experience.
gipc's Mercurial repository is hosted at Bitbucket.
gipc requires:
The latest gipc release from PyPI can be pulled and installed via pip:
$ pip install gipc
pip can also install the current development version of gipc:
$ pip install hg+https://bitbucket.org/jgehrcke/gipc
Windows I/O Completion Ports (IOCP) could solve both issues in an elegant way. Currently, gevent is built on top of libev which does not support IOCP. In the future, however, gevent might become libuv-backed. libuv supports IOCP and would allow for running the same gevent code on Windows as on POSIX-compliant systems. Furthermore, if gevent went with libuv, the strengths of both, the node.js and the gevent worlds would be merged. Denis Bilenko, the maintainer of gevent, seems to be open to such a transition and the first steps are already done.
Note that these examples are designed with the motivation to demonstrate the API and capabilities of gipc, rather than showing interesting use cases.
Very basic gevent and gipc concepts are explained by means of the following simple messaging example:
import gevent
import gipc
def main():
with gipc.pipe() as (r, w):
p = gipc.start_process(target=child_process, args=(r, ))
wg = gevent.spawn(writegreenlet, w)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
def writegreenlet(writer):
while True:
writer.put("written to pipe from a greenlet running in the main process")
def child_process(reader):
while True:
print "Child process got message from pipe:\n\t'%s'" % reader.get()
if __name__ == "__main__":
The context manager with gipc.pipe() as (r, w) creates a pipe with read handle r and write handle w. On context exit (latest) the pipe ends will be closed properly.
After creating the pipe context, the above code spawns a child process via gipc.start_process(). The child process is instructed to execute the target function named child_process whereas the pipe read handle r is provided as an argument to this target function. Within child_process() an endless loop waits for objects on the read end of the pipe via the cooperatively blocking call to reader.get(). Upon retrieval, it immediately writes their string representation to stdout.
After invocation of the the child process (represented by an object bound to name p), a greenlet wg is spawned within the main process. This greenlet executes the function writegreenlet, whereas the pipe write handle w is provided as an argument. Within this greenlet, one string per second is written to the write end of the pipe.
After spawning wg, p.join() is called immediately in the parent process. p.join() is blocking cooperatively, i.e. it allows for a context switch into the write greenlet (this actually is the magic behind gevent/greenlets). Hence, the write greenlet is 'running' while p.join() cooperatively waits for the child process to terminate. The write greenlet spends most of its time in gevent.sleep(), which is also blocking cooperatively, allowing for context switches back to the main greenlet in the parent process, which is executing p.join(). In this state, one message per second is passed between parent and child until a KeyboardInterrupt exception is raised in the parent.
Upon KeyboardInterrupt, the parent first kills the write greenlet and blocks cooperatively until it has stopped. Then it terminates the child process (via SIGTER on Unix) and waits for it to exit via p.join().
For pure API and reliability demonstration purposes, this example implements TCP communication between a server in the parent process and multiple clients in one child process:
import gevent
from gevent.server import StreamServer
from gevent import socket
import gipc
import time
MSG = "HELLO\n"
def serve(sock, addr):
f = sock.makefile()
def server():
ss = StreamServer(('localhost', PORT), serve).serve_forever()
def clientprocess():
t1 = time.time()
clients = [gevent.spawn(client) for _ in xrange(N_CLIENTS)]
duration = time.time()-t1
print "%s clients served within %.2f s." % (N_CLIENTS, duration)
def client():
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.connect(('localhost', PORT))
f = sock.makefile()
assert f.readline() == MSG
if __name__ == "__main__":
s = gevent.spawn(server)
c = gipc.start_process(clientprocess)
Output on my test machine: 1000 clients served within 0.54 s.
Child process creation may take a significant amount of time, especially on Windows. The exact amount of time is not predictable.
When code in the parent should only proceed in the moment the code in the child has reached a certain state, the proper way to tackle this is a bidirectional synchronization handshake:
This concept can easily be implemented using a bidirectional gipc.pipe():
import gevent
import gipc
import time
def main():
with gipc.pipe(duplex=True) as (cend, pend):
# `cend` is the channel end for the child, `pend` for the parent.
p = gipc.start_process(writer_process, args=(cend,))
# Synchronize with child process.
assert pend.get() == "ACK"
# Now in sync with child.
ptime = time.time()
ctime = pend.get()
print "Time delta: %.8f s." % abs(ptime - ctime)
def writer_process(cend):
with cend:
assert cend.get() == "SYN"
# Now in sync with parent.
if __name__ == "__main__":
The marked code blocks in parent and child are entered quasi-simultaneously. Example output on my test machine (Linux): Time delta: 0.00005388 s. On Windows, time.time()'s precision is not sufficient to resolve the time delta (and time.clock() is not applicable for comparing times across processes).
Start child process and execute function target(*args, **kwargs). Any existing instance of gipc._GIPCHandle or gipc._GIPCDuplexHandle can be passed to the child process via args and/or kwargs. If any such instance is passed to the child, the corresponding file descriptor is automatically closed in the parent.
Compared to the canonical multiprocessing.Process() constructor, this function
gipc._GProcess instance (inherits from multiprocessing.Process and re-implements some of its methods in a gevent-cooperative fashion).
start_process() triggers most of the magic in gipc. Process creation is based on multiprocessing.Process(), i.e. fork() on POSIX-compliant systems and CreateProcess() on Windows.
Please note that in order to provide reliable signal handling in the context of libev, the default disposition (action) is restored for all signals in the child before executing the user-given target function. You can (re)install any signal handler within target. The notable exception is the SIGPIPE signal, whose handler is not reset to its default handler in child processes created by gipc. That is, the SIGPIPE action in children is inherited from the parent. In CPython, the default action for SIGPIPE is SIG_IGN, i.e. the signal is ignored.
Create a pipe-based message transport channel and return two corresponding handles for reading and writing data.
Allows for gevent-cooperative transmission of data (any picklable Python object by default). Data can be transmitted between greenlets within one process or across processes (created via start_process()).
gipc._GIPCHandle and gipc._GIPCDuplexHandle instances are recommended to be used with a context manager as indicated in the following examples:
with pipe() as (r, w):
do_something(r, w)
reader, writer = pipe()
with reader:
with writer as w:
with pipe(duplex=True) as (h1, h2):
assert h2.get() == 1
assert h1.get() == 2
The transport layer is based on os.pipe() (i.e. CreatePipe() on Windows and pipe() on POSIX-compliant systems).
The _GIPCHandle class implements common features of read and write handles. _GIPCHandle instances are created via pipe().
Close underlying file descriptor and de-register handle for further usage. Is called on context exit.
Bases: gipc.gipc._GIPCHandle
A _GIPCWriter instance manages the write end of a pipe. It is created via pipe().
Encode object o and write it to the pipe. Block gevent-cooperatively until all data is written. The default encoder is pickle.dumps.
|o – a Python object that is encodable with the encoder of choice.
Bases: gipc.gipc._GIPCHandle
A _GIPCReader instance manages the read end of a pipe. It is created via pipe().
Receive, decode and return data from the pipe. Block gevent-cooperatively until data is available or timeout expires. The default decoder is pickle.loads.
|timeout – None (default) or a gevent.Timeout instance. The timeout must be started to take effect and is canceled when the first byte of a new message arrives (i.e. providing a timeout does not guarantee that the method completes within the timeout interval).
|a Python object.
Recommended usage for silent timeout control:
with gevent.Timeout(TIME_SECONDS, False) as t:
The timeout control is currently not available on Windows, because Windows can't apply select() to pipe handles. An OSError is expected to be raised in case you set a timeout.
A _GIPCDuplexHandle instance manages one end of a bidirectional pipe-based message transport created via pipe() with duplex=True. It provides put(), get(), and close() methods which are forwarded to the corresponding methods of gipc._GIPCWriter and gipc._GIPCReader.
Bases: multiprocessing.process.Process
Compatible with the multiprocessing.Process API.
For cooperativeness with gevent and compatibility with libev, it currently re-implements start(), is_alive(), exitcode on Unix and join() on Windows as well as on Unix.
On Unix, child monitoring is implemented via libev child watchers. To that end, libev installs its own SIGCHLD signal handler. Any call to os.waitpid() would compete with that handler, so it is not recommended to call it in the context of this module. gipc prevents multiprocessing from calling os.waitpid() by monkey-patching multiprocessing.forking.Popen.poll to always return None. Calling gipc._GProcess.join() is not required for cleaning up after zombies (libev does). It just waits until the process has terminated.

What is American Studies?
"American Studies" is the shorthand name for the scholarly field that studies North America (especially the United States, but stretching to the whole continent) in an interdisciplinary way. Students in American Studies think about issues of racial/ethnic difference, power structures, literature and the arts, media and politics, sex and gender, social movements, change over time, immigration, regional differences, cultural geography, material culture, and how the US relates to global issues. They do this in a multilayered way, using methods and approaches from several disciplines.
The interpretation of culture, society, and politics in North America goes on all around us in every moment. Journalists report on trends in popular culture, technology, and politics. Critics debate how music and films relate to attitudes towards race, sexuality, class, empire, and war. Historians interpret living legacies of the past. Politicians gamble their careers on the "moods" of various public constituencies, while prospective immigrants, both legal and undocumented, gamble their whole lives on decisions about where to seek a living. Taxpayers reflect on how their hard-earned money pays for roads, schools, wars, prisons, and bank bailouts among many other things. Advertisers and investors throughout the world risk fortunes on their understanding of demographics, economic choices, social structure, and cultural trends within the United States. Preachers discuss whether practices ranging all the way from people's sexual habits to US military policies are in line with God's will. Foreign governments try to comprehend and influence US domestic affairs as well as its global activities. And authors provide an unending supply of theories about who "Americans" are, where they are headed, and who has the right to speak for "them."
Few, however, have the benefit of a systematic and multidisciplinary education in these subjects. This is what American Studies is all about.
Career Opportunities in American Studies
An interdisciplinary major in American Studies can prepare students for careers in the academy, advertising, the arts, cultural heritage organizations, business and marketing, community organizing, government service, journalism, law, publishing, and teaching. Broad interdisciplinary training is excellent preparation for graduate and professional school programs in business, education, law, or public policy.
Many students entering UTK today will earn their livings in more than one different job across their lives—including in jobs that do not yet exist! A concentration in American Studies will help you cultivate the range, perspective, flexibility, and critical thinking skills that will help you thrive within such a changing culture and political economy.
Salary Trends in American Studies
It is difficult to generalize about this matter because students in American Studies move in so many directions. As with any degree, pre-professional experiences (volunteerism, work experience, internships, etc.) enhance the chances of obtaining employment and affect the projected salary.
High School Preparation
Perhaps most important is building a solid foundation in communication skills, especially writing, and in critical thinking. Since history, the social sciences, and arts and literature are all core disciplines for the study of North America, the more knowledge you bring in these areas, the better—whether from AP courses, electives, travel and work experience, or simply your personal bibliography of books, music, and film.
How to Major in American Studies
The current UTK major has no formal progression requirements, so students can declare as majors at any time. It does require two 200-level courses chosen from among six options in American Literature and U.S. History. If possible, students should take these relatively early in their careers, since they prepare for upper-division classes and most of them count toward lower level distribution requirements in Humanities or Social Science. In consultation with an advisor, majors choose a set of nine upper-division courses that enable them to achieve breadth and depth in the field. This includes exposure to several disciplines and substantial engagement with the many forms of cultural diversity and conflict that shape the history and contemporary experience of North American society. Innovative and creative packages of courses, including those that incorporate internships and/or community engagement, are encouraged and easy to put together.
The American Studies core faculty and curriculum draws from more than a dozen departments. Some courses are explicitly cross-listed with numbers in American Studies and their home departments, but dozens of other courses count toward the major, and each semester the program publishes a list of additional courses that may count by petition. Prospective majors should consult the program's website (http://web.utk.edu/~amerstud/) and meet with the program chair for additional information.
Requirements for American Studies
The major concentration consists of the two 200-level classes noted above (formerly prerequisites but now simply part of the major) plus 27 upper-division semester hours: (1) American Studies 310, Introduction to American Studies (or you may substitute American Studies 450, the Senior Seminar in American Studies, for this course); (2) At least three approved courses, one each in United States history, American literature, and the social scientific study of North America; (3) An individualized package of five additional courses, chosen in consultation with the American Studies advisor in way that achieves both appropriate breadth (including substantive engagement with North American cultural diversity and conflict) and a coherent focus within the field.
Special Programs, Co-ops, and Internships
Majors are encouraged to undertake an independent study course (American Studies 493) and/or take the senior capstone seminar (American Studies 450) during their final year. Projects may take advantage of special library resources at the University of Tennessee, such as the Great Smoky Mountains Collection, or be developed around internships or other innovative "hands-on" projects. Organizations that have provided internship opportunities in the past include the McClung Museum, the East Tennessee History Museum, Jubilee Community Arts, Museum of Appalachia, and Oak Ridge Children's Museum. Students are encouraged to propose and develop their own innovative projects.
Highlights of American Studies
Each year the Program in American Studies hosts international students who are majoring in American Studies at their home universities. Recently students from Wales, Ulster, Germany, France, and Japan have enriched our classes with their perspectives. The capstone seminar, American Studies 450, is an opportunity for UT majors, international students, and American Studies faculty from many departments to become acquainted and exchange ideas. In this seminar, students learn about resources for research and research interests of faculty in the program. The seminar offers an opportunity to develop plans and identify mentors for independent study projects.
Ready for the World
"Ready for the World" is part of a long-range plan to transform the UTK campus into a culture of diversity that best prepares students for working and competing in the 21st century. Thus students are encouraged to actively participate in the diverse cultural programs offered on campus. Some of these events include the guest lecture series, cultural nights at the International House, and international film screenings. Visit the Center for International Education web site (http://web.utk.edu/~globe/about.shtml) or the Ready for the World web site (http://www.utk.edu/readyfortheworld/) for more information on upcoming cultural programs and activities. Learn more about UT's Ready for the World initiative to help students gain the international and intercultural knowledge they need to succeed in today's world.
Students are also encouraged to develop a global perspective within their academic program through study abroad. The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, offers study abroad programs in Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, South America, and North America. Program lengths vary from mini-term trips to the entire academic year, and students may choose to fulfill general education requirements, study a foreign language, or take courses within their majors. In addition, UTK offers students opportunities for international internships.
Students are highly encouraged to begin planning early in their academic career and to consult with an academic advisor about the best time to study abroad as well as what courses to take abroad. For more information about program options, the application process, and how to finance study abroad, please visit the Programs Abroad Office website.
Academic Plan and Milestones
Following an academic plan will help students stay on track to graduate in four years. Beginning with first-time, first-year, full-time, degree-seeking students entering in the Fall 2013 semester, UT has implemented Universal Tracking (uTrack), an academic monitoring system designed to help students stay on track for timely graduation. In order to remain on track, students must complete the minimum requirements for each tracking semester, known as milestones. Milestones may include successful completion of specified courses and/or attainment of a minimum GPA.
To see a sample academic plan and milestones for this major, please visit the undergraduate catalog.

Does the belt clip detached so you just have a hard cover?
- Asked by Lachlan G from Sydney
Incase Sports Armband Deluxe for iPhone 4S/4
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
No it doesn't but I don't find it a problem as I use it as a hard cover anyway. I don't like to keep taking my phone in and out as I run so just leave it in the case and the clip at the back of the case is fairly unobtrusive. Then I can just clip it onto the armband when I decide to run. The case is a kind of rubbery material and not hard.

Tina Fey's Daughter Wants to Act!
Is there room in showbiz for more than one epic eye-roller?
Most definitely, if Tina Fey's daughter has anything to say about it!
The 30 Rock star's 7-year-old daughter, Alice, may have gotten a taste of fame with her adorable guest spot on her mom's hit show, but she won't be a child star anytime soon, Tina tells People.
"With my kids, so far it seems to be about me holding them back," says the star. "They see this exciting life."
Tina admits that Alice's ambition went through the roof after finding out that Oscar nominee Quvenzhané Wallis was only 9 years old.
"I made her write out a poll so everyone who came to our Oscar party had to [vote] 'Should Alice be allowed to be in movies?' And I was the only person that said 'No.' I was like 'Unfortunately for you, I am the only vote that counts.'"

Chief Justice Wallace B. Jefferson of the Supreme Court of Texas announced this week that he will resign from the court effective October 1. Chief Justice Jefferson has served on the court since 2001, when he was appointed by Governor Rick Perry to fill a vacancy. Perry named Jefferson chief justice when former chief justice Tom Phillips retired in 2004, making Jefferson the first African-American to lead the court. Jefferson won statewide election twice and was scheduled to run for reelection in 2014. Governor Perry will now have the opportunity to name his successor.
Chief Justice Jefferson implemented a number of administrative innovations during his tenure as chief. He worked to open the court's proceedings to the public, pushed for salary increases for judges, advocated for legal aid for indigents, and proposed juvenile justice reforms. According to his resignation announcement, one regret Jefferson has is that he was unable to accomplish judicial selection reform, and in particular an end to partisan judicial elections. According to Jefferson, "It is an irrational way of selecting judges. Just because you have an 'R' or a 'D' by your name does not mean you are more qualified to be a judge." He went on to express doubt that reform is politically possible, but said "it is still worth the fight."
Chief Justice Jefferson is a founding member of the O'Connor Advisory Committee to the Quality Judges Initiative at IAALS, having joined the committee soon after it was established in late 2009. He also delivered the keynote address at the presentation of IAALS' 2010 Transparent Courthouse® Award. Like the recipients of the award that year—Nevada Senator William J. Raggio, Nevada Assembly Speaker Barbara E. Buckley, and former Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer (who was honored posthumously)—Chief Justice Jefferson is a torchbearer for fair and impartial courts. He will be missed on the bench, but we are grateful for his ongoing commitment to those ideals—from whatever position he will now hold.

People of many races have been slaves to people in nations throughout
history. (Consider the Roman Empire) As a result, I would like to see
elmination of Roman from the English language to be more PC.
The words "Roman Numerals" will be replaced with "that funky number system
that uses letters" and "romantic" will be replaced with "social actions
undertaken to aid procreation of the spiecies" (heh heh)
There are other names with other suggestions:
"RAM-Disk" and "You need more RAM"
"SCSI" "SCSI Disk" "SCSI Device"
"gender bender"
"*client* and "*server*"
And WHAT ABOUT THE VAMPIRES!?
They are concerned about "bit" and "byte" as well as "vapiric taps"
Are people who are tone deaf sensitive to homonyms? Bass sounds like base
and then we have problems with 10BaseT.
We should also drop RGB cables since there are people who are Red-Green
colorblind and they may feel discriminated against or feel that it miught
be false advertising for them. Instead we can go with CYMK and have
monitors that draw screens with pigments instead of light.
Dont even let me bring up that old discussionof the sexism in "man pages"
instead of "woman pages" or "person pages" (heh)
As long as there are living consious people, there will be disagreement on
what is considered "PC" (Antone want to disagree? ;-)

The Neuro-NICU Program, under the direction of Jose Honold, M.D., aims to prevent brain injury in infants through detecting and preventing neurological problems, such as seizures. Seizures, especially those that occur in the first month of life, destroy brain cells and can cause learning difficulties, memory problems, developmental problems and a predisposition to developing epilepsy later in life.
The program is the only one of its kind in Southern California and a leading program throughout the country.
In our program, infants who are exhibiting signs of seizures, such unstable vital signs or lack of alertness, are immediately put on an electroencephalogram (EEG) to check their brain's electrical activity. If they begin to have seizures, they are treated with anticonvulsant medication. We also have a large computer server for our EEGs with protected online access, which enables our doctors to monitor brain signals remotely. As a result, we can spot a seizure even when we're not physically at the hospital.
Another common source of brain injuries in infants is perinatal asphyxia, which can occur when a newborn is deprived of oxygen at birth. For this condition, the standard of care is treatment with a cooling blanket to reduce the newborn's temperature. Rady Children's has been using induced hypothermia treatment for several years, and as the result of a study enabled by our program (see below), hypothermia treatment is being started sooner, in the ambulance, while babies are being transferred to our NICU from the hospitals where they were born.
Through our collaboration with UC San Diego, our program is actively involved in cutting-edge research, including:
- Assessing the effectiveness of initiating hypothermia during transport.
- Evaluating anti-convulsant medications that limit seizures.
- Testing the effectiveness of a wireless EEG, a stamp-sized wearable patch of tiny circuits, sensors and wireless transmitters that sticks to the skin like a temporary tattoo. It would replace all the wires that are currently used to monitor infants.

If he knew he wanted one for himself, he should have left his order alone. Or ordered only those units he was planning on selling. Either way, he likely runs his shop emotionally, not logically.
