CUMMING, Ga., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- When 76-year old Cumming resident, Charles Smith was diagnosed with lung cancer he thought the worst. Raised in the carnival and a self professed hobo for 21 years, Smith had a less than ordinary life. In addition to his other illnesses, Smith felt limited in his choices for treatment – until Chad Levitt, M.D., Medical Director and Radiation Oncologist with Radiotherapy Centers of Georgia - North Georgia introduced him to Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT).
"Mr. Smith was a perfect candidate for this treatment, and upon discussing his case with his referring physician, Mr. Smith and his family, we agreed this would be the best course of action," explained Dr. Levitt.
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is the administration of a very large dose of radiation to an isolated tumor or tumors within the body, with the goal to completely kill the cancerous tumor cells. The treatment is precise and lasts five days, compared to a three month timeline that radiation therapy treatment would require.
"Typically, SBRT consists of 3 to 5 treatments carried out over the course of 1 to 2 weeks," Levitt added. "Mr. Smith was not a surgical candidate due to his other medical problems, thus radiation was one of the only options traditionally more than six weeks of treatment."
The procedure's accurate radiation enables a higher dosage of radiati

- A.K. Ghosh, University of Calcutta, Kolkata, India
- S.D. Iyer, National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India
The book includes a synthesis of research findings on the structure and evolution of the Central Indian Ocean Basin and its ferromanganese deposits, in particular, on the exploration campaign since 1980s. A comprehensive mixture of recent studies along with classical theories starting from the 1960s is the hallmark of the book. Recent concepts and hypotheses, and also critical appreciation of the state-of-the-art knowledge on nodule formation and resource management are incorporated. After limiting the geographical extension of the nodule field and describing its physiographic, geological, biological, physical and chemical characteristics in chapter 1, the various structural, tectonic and volcanic elements are described in chapters 2 and 3. The bottom sediment characteristics that floor the nodules and crusts are dealt with in chapter 4. The nodules and crusts are described in detail in chapter 5, and their process of formation in the light of variable source material, local and regional tectonic activities, and midplate secondary volcanisms are discussed. The mining, environment, metallurgy, legal and economic aspects of the nodule resources are discussed in chapter 6. This title fulfils the growing need to bring voluminous, but scattered information in the form of a book for easy dissemination to students and researchers.View full description

Seven Best Pop Star Stage Pukers! From Gaga and Bieber to the Bloodhound Gang
Pop stars are losing it. Specifically their lunch, all over themselves and in front of their fans.
Princess RiRi recently blew chunks in the middle of "What's My Name?" in Portugal, but she didn't have the guts to barf on stage.
Nay, it takes a truly exhibitionist soul to let loose in front of all those peering eyes. Only those with a certain kind of perverse swag can let it spew and sing right through it. Yes, that's happened.
Watch these pros puke, if you have the stomach.

Justin Bieber
Hey, bro! Do you see any pretty girls out there? Do you wanna go puke on them? Everything is going well for our handsome piece of boy-meat until the ladies come near him. Then it's all over for him. But we already knew Bieber fans are into puke-play.
Ten Foot Spew
Whoever this guy is, he's rockin' the shit out of that poet's shirt. He's rockin' so hard he can no longer take it. He tries to be nice and turns around before bowing out completely. Damn, he totally ruined that shirt.
Lady Gaga
This is some serious pop superstar shit right here. You can tell something isn't right from the beginning as Gaga stumbles down the stairs. And though she's clearly not singing, Mother Monster dances through the pukes. She even makes the hair pull-back look sexy.
Jonny Craig
This bro used to be the lead singer of post-hardcore/jazz-fusion group Dance Gavin Dance, but now he's just one of the best stage pukers of all time. Look at his technique ... He lets out a waterfall onto the heads of the front row. And he just keeps singing.
The Subs
The Subs are a Belgian electro outfit, and they're making real art. You can tell they're making real art because the lead singer can still put it together on the keytar while he regurgitates. Real art is regurgitated. Picasso said that once.
Swedish Singer????
In the words of the Uploader: "Video title says it all, a Swedish singer throws it all up during his performance." We'll add that it's weird someone for the audience feels like touching him immediately afterward.
Bloodhound Gang
This is some next-level stage puking. This isn't even puking, it's projectile vomiting onto your friend after you gagged yourself. Because he wouldn't take you on the bet that you'd sleep in the equipment trailer if he drank your throw up. Yeah, we're real fucking horny now.

I've written in the past about my dislike for Django's Class Based Views. Django's CBVs add a lot of complexity and verbosity, and simply get in the way of some moderately common patterns (e.g. when you have two forms in a single view). It seems I'm not alone as a Django core dev who thinks that way.
In this post, however, I'll write about a different approach that I took in one project, which can be summed up like this:
Write your own base class.
For really simple model views, Django's own CBVs can be a time saver. For anything more complex, you will run into difficulties, and will need some heavy documentation at the very least.
One solution is to use a simplified re-implementation of Class Based Views. My own approach is to go even further and start from nothing, writing your own base class, while borrowing the best ideas and incorporating only what you need.
The as_view method provided by the Django's View class is a great idea — while it may not be obvious, it was hammered out after a lot of discussion as a way to help promote request isolation by creating a new instance of the class to handle every new request. So I'll happily steal that!
Personally I dislike the dispatch method with its assumption that handling of GET and POST is going to be completely different, when often they can overlap a lot (especially for typical form handling). It has even introduced bugs for me where a view rejected POST requests, when what it needed to do was just ignore the POST data, which required extra code!
So I replaced that with a simple handle function that you have to implement to do any logic.
I also don't like the way that template names are automatically built from model names etc. — this is convention over configuration, and it makes life unnecessarily hard for a maintenance programmer who greps to find out where a template is used. If that kind of logic is used, you just Have To Know where to look to see if a template is used at all and how it is used. So that is going.
A relatively flat set of base classes is going to be far easier to manage than a large set of mixins and base classes. By using a flat stack, I can avoid writing crazy hacks to subvert what I have inherited.
For instance, one of the things I really dislike about Django's CBVs is the extremely verbose way of adding new data to the context, which is something that ought to be really easy, but instead requires 4 lines:
class MyView(ParentView): def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super(MyView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs) context['title'] = "My title" # This is the only line I want to write! return context
In fact, it is often worse, because the data to add to the context may actually have been calculated in a different method, and stuck on self so that get_context_data could find it. And you also have the problem that it is easy to do it wrong e.g. if you forget the call to super things start breaking in non-obvious ways.
(In searching GitHub for examples, I actually found hundreds and hundreds of examples that look like this:
class HomeView(TemplateView): # ... def get_context_data(self): context = super(HomeView, self).get_context_data() return context
This doesn't make much sense, until I realised that people are using boilerplate generators/snippets to create new CBVs — such as this for emacs and this for vim, and this for Sublime Text. You know when you have created an unwieldy API when people need these kinds of shortcuts.)
So, the answer is:
Imagine the API you want, then implement it.
This is what I would like to write for static additions to the context:
class MyView(ParentView): context = {'title': "My title"}
and for dynamic:
class MyView(ParentView): def context(self): return {'things': Thing.objects.all() if self.request.user.is_authenticated() else Thing.objects.public()} # Or perhaps using a lambda: context = lambda self: ...
And I would like any context defined by ParentView to be automatically accumulated, even though I didn't explicitly call super. (After all, you almost always want to add to context data, and if necessary a subclass could remove specific inherited data by setting a key to None).
I'd also like for any method in my CBV to simply be able to add data to the context directly, perhaps by setting/updating an instance variable:
class MyView(ParentView): def do_the_thing(self): if some_condition(): self.context['foo'] = 'bar'
Of course, it goes without saying that this shouldn't clobber anything at the class level and violate request isolation, and all of these methods should work together nicely in the way you would expect. And it should be impossible to accidentally mutate any class-defined context dictionary from within a method.
Now, sometimes after you've finished dreaming, you find your imagined API is too tricky to implement due to a language issue, and has to be modified. In this case, the behaviour is easily achievable, although it is a little bit magic, because normally defining a method in a subclass without using super means that the super class definition would be ignored, and for class attributes you can't use super at all.
So, my own preference is to make this more obvious by using the name magic_context for the first two (the class attribute and the method). That way I get the benefits of the magic, while not tripping up any maintainer — if something is called magic_foo, most people are going to want to know why it is magic and how it works.
The implementation uses a few tricks, the heart of which is using reversed(self.__class__.mro()) to get all the super-classes and their magic_context attributes, iteratively updating a dictionary with them.
Notice too how the TemplateView.handle method is extremely simple, and just calls out to another method to do all the work:
class TemplateView(View): # ... def handle(self, request): return self.render({})
This means that a subclass that defines handle to do the actual logic doesn't need to call super, but just calls the same method directly:
class MyView(TemplateView): template_name = "mytemplate.html" def handle(self, request): # logic here... return self.render({'some_more': 'context_data'})
In addition to these things, I have various hooks that I use to handle things like AJAX validation for form views, and RSS/Atom feeds for list views etc. Because I'm in control of the base classes, these things are simple to do.
I guess the core idea here is that you shouldn't be constrained by what Django has supplied. There is actually nothing about CBVs that is deeply integrated into Django, so your own implementation is just as valid as Django's, but you can make it work for you. I would encourage you to write the actual code you want to write, then make the base class that enables it to work.
The disadvantage, of course, is that maintenance programmers who have memorised the API of Django's CBVs won't benefit from that in the context of a project which uses another set of base classes. However, I think the advantages more than compensate for this.
Feel free to borrow any of the code or ideas if they are useful!
This post is a review of IPython Notebook Essentials by L. Felipe Martins.
IPython Notebook is a very cool environment for running Python code. I've flirted with it in the past, but not really got to grips with it. So I was pleased to be contact by Packt Publishing with the offer of a free copy (ebook) to review.
In it's own words, the book is for:
software developers, engineers, scientists, and students who need a quick introduction to the IPython notebook for use in scientific computing, data handling, and analysis, creation of graphical displays, and efficient computations.
Overall, I think it succeeds pretty well. Taking the time to go through the book, rather than just trying to get things done as fast as possible, certainly meant that I learnt things wouldn't have done otherwise.
The book starts helpfully with a chapter that shows off the functionality of IPython Notebook — "A Tour of the IPython Notebook", which seems to a be a really good idea for the intended audience. It starts with providing some good ways to access it - either installed on your machine using Anaconda, which provides a massive set of useful libraries, or via Wakari.
This chapter includes a classic problem I've thought about in the past — when is the optimal time to add cream/milk to your tea/coffee to keep it hot? In fact the book is full of examples that would be fairly familiar to different types of science students. It then works it right through to generating 3D plots.
There are lots of helpful notes in the book about best practices and gotchas, such as tips about namespace pollutions, ints/floats, indentation, exponentiation, and meaningful variables. Very occasionally I thought there were words that might go over the heads of the intended audience, but generally I though it was really good.
Chapter two goes into a lot more detail about the IPython Notebook interface and features. I learnt a lot, including how to use LaTeX and Markdown in the Notebook, and even that you can convert IPython Notebooks into nice-looking HTML slides. I was glad for a book that kind of forced me to learn about the tool, rather than my previous approach which was much more oriented to the immediate task.
It continues with a section on IPython 'magics' which was also really good, and has encouraged me to explore further what is available.
This chapter also contained a lot of useful information for scientists, including things like quick ways to time and optimise your code, how to load/save data into the environment, and lots of important tips regarding possible gotchas.
One tip I think they probably should have included under the %load magic was a security one — loading and running arbitrary code from the internet is, of course, pretty dangerous, and there is virtually no limit to what Python code can do on your machine. With Python running in a Notebook environment, I think it might be easy for scientists to forget about the need to protect themselves from malicious code.
Chapter three focuses on creating plots with matplotlib, and goes into a lot of detail about 2D and 3D plots. I think it provides some descriptions and help that you don't get just by browsing example code on matplotlib.org. It also includes examples of animations.
Chapter four provides a great tutorial on using pandas for loading and manipulating data sets. I thought this was very well done, and included some more advanced manipulations that you are very likely to need when input data isn't in the right 'shape'. There were tips and shortcuts that I probably wouldn't have found otherwise.
Chapter five goes on to "Advanced Computing with SciPy, Numba, and NumbaPro". I didn't try out this chapter as fully as the others, as I don't have a CUDA compatible GPU that I could use for the examples. However, what I followed regarding scientific computing and numerical calculations was very helpful.
The book finishes with 3 appendices:
These all seemed to be just right for the typical non-programmer who nevertheless needs a reasonable grasp of Python and NumPy. As well as the appendix B, there were some helpful ways that the power of Python was demonstrated and explained in the earlier chapters e.g. use of first class functions and factory functions, which can be really important when needing to parameterise functions by one variable and plot the result against another.
One thing the book didn't explain in perhaps enough detail (that I saw), although it does allude to it, is the problem of namespace pollution. This rears its ugly head when %pylab is used, or any import *, and you get nasty affects like numpy.sum shadowing the builtin sum. I did trip up over this, and it can be quite nasty to work out what is going on, especially when the broadcasting rules for NumPy arrays can be rather magical. Sometimes sum will give you working code and numpy.sum will not, and many people will not be aware that they are actually using numpy.sum.
In general, the attention to detail was good. I found one section where the example code did not work, and I've submitted errata for it.
By the end of the book, I realised I could use IPython Notebook to re-implement an actual science project — my final year project at University, which is a long time ago now (2002)! The project involved calculating electric fields and simulating electron movements in a scanning electron microscope. I did it originally using a Mathematica-like system call MuPad which could do both symbolic and numerical manipulations.
Re-doing this as an IPython Notebook was quite fun — and a good chance to practice and embed my newly learned 3D plotting skills. It did highlight some ways that Python is not perfect for this task. (Like the integration with symbolic manipulation — which is not as smooth as in a language which was designed for it).
But one of the really nice things about IPython Notebook is that you can write LaTeX easily, so that your code can be interspersed with the mathematical formula presented nicely, instead of using ASCII art etc. I daresay that it won't be long before IPython Notebooks will be a preferred way of submitting this kind of work.
As well as embedding maths, you can of course embed the cool plots:
For reference and explanation, you can have a look at my original, brilliantly-titled SEM Dopant Contrast due to Patch Fields in Semiconductors. (It does include the main source code at the end).
This little project was also a neat demonstration of Moore's law. The project I did at University in 2002 was a follow-up from a 1969 project also at Cambridge (Plows GS, Stroboscopic Scanning Electron Microscopy and the observation of microcircuit surface voltages), in which it looks like a large amount of time was taken up to calculate (using pen and paper, I think) the trajectory of a single electron in a Scanning Electron Microscope under certain conditions.
For my own project in 2002, I used my PC to do thousands of such calculations, but I ended up thrashing my computer's CPU for several weeks on end. Based on what I've done the past couple of days, however, the same calculations would be complete within an hour on my current laptop. And that was with using only one out of 4 cores.
I think this book probably hits the spot just right for its intended audience, and I think that is a spot which needs hitting — I can see IPython Notebook becoming an indispensable tool for many scientists and students.
Handling the rename of get_query_set to get_queryset in Django 1.6 is very tricky - much trickier than it might seem.
For many 3rd party libraries, you will have a few aims:
Subclassing makes this much, much harder.
Suppose you have:
class FooManager(models.Manager): def active(self): return self.get_query_set().filter(active=True) def get_query_set(self): return FooQuerySet(model=self.model)
How do you update this code?
The tricky bit is that you need to consider a class that subclasses FooManager, which you don't control. That code might not be updated yet.
A very important example is the RelatedManager class in Django, which dynamically subclasses the default manager on a model to provide access to related objects. You use this all the time, in ORM calls like person.schools.all() — roughly speaking schools returns a dynamic subclass of School.objects. In Django 1.5, this subclass overrides the get_query_set method so that it calls super.get_query_set (e.g. School.objects.get_query_set) and then adds some filters to limit to the particular related object it is attached to.
You certainly need compatibility with this if you want to still support Django 1.5. But there could be other examples of things that subclass FooManager explicitly and are outside your control. Let's represent all these subclasses as follows:
class FooManagerSubClass(FooManager): def get_query_set(self): return super(FooManagerSubClass, self).get_query_set().order_by('bar')
Now, imagine an instance of FooManagerSubClass, and calling the active method on it. The call look like:
FooManager.active -> FooManagerSubClass.get_query_set -> FooManager.get_query_set
So all the defined behaviours combine as they should.
Now you come to update FooManager so that it will still work with Django 1.5, but works on Django 1.6 and later without issuing warnings if everyone is using get_queryset.
How should you rewrite it?
First pass:
class FooManager(models.Manager): def get_queryset(self): return FooQuerySet(model=self.model) get_query_set = get_queryset # Django 1.5 compat def active(self): return self.get_queryset().filter(active=True)
This looks correct, but FooManagerSubClass().active() is now broken, because calling it runs:
FooManager.active -> FooManager.get_queryset
— that is, it misses out FooManagerSubClass.get_query_set, because active is calling get_queryset, and the subclass knows nothing about that, it's only overridden the get_query_set method.
(This type of failure is particularly nasty, because the failure is silent. It applies to related managers, which are going to be broken in a nasty way - they no longer have filtering applied, so person.schools.all() returns all schools, not just the ones related to person. And you probably won't have an explicit unit test for this).
So, now you need something like this:
class FooManager(models.Manager): def get_queryset(self): return FooQuerySet(model=self.model) get_query_set = get_queryset def active(self): m = (self.get_query_set if hasattr(self, 'get_query_set') else self.get_queryset) return m().filter(active=True)
But now you now get warnings emitted when active() is called in some cases, even on Django 1.6 and later - in particular, you get it when you call it via a RelatedManager on Django 1.6 and later, due to the way that Django sticks get_query_set wrappers on manager subclasses that don't define get_query_set explicitly (such as RelatedManager) - via RenamedMethodsBase.
Also, if you reverse the conditional so that get_queryset is called in preference to get_query_set, then active() breaks as above, so you can't do that.
This is trickier than it seems!
Due to the subclassing issue, I can't find a way, even with modifying Django's behaviour, to satisfy all the constraints, at least if you want warnings to be emitted when they need to be, and silenced when you've fixed your code. I've updated the Django docs to my best ideas so far.
Update, 2015-07-08:
With Django 1.8 in the mix, it gets much worse.
Django 1.8 removes the get_query_set compatiblity shim, and this method is no longer defined on its RelatedManager classes. Remember that these RelatedManager classes will be created by Django and will subclass whatever manager you defined on your model. It's possible to end up with a stack like this:
In this case, suppose you call the .active() on the entire stack. This resolves to FooManager.active() method, which ends up calling SomeUsefulManager.get_query_set -> SomeUsefulManager.get_queryset -> Manager.get_queryset, thus missing out RelatedManager.get_queryset. The result is, as above, a major bug where queries (including updates and deletes) that are supposed to be limited to a related object apply to all records.
To fix this, you need to change the pattern so that if we are on Django 1.8, we do not provide the get_query_set method to our subclasses (but we do still call it on our super-classes). You can't monkey-patch your way out of this, by the way, because RelatedManager classes are created dynamically. This fix also must be applied to all managers that are attempting compatibility with Django 1.5 to 1.8:
class FooManager(models.Manager): def get_queryset(self): return FooQuerySet(model=self.model) if django.VERSION < (1, 6): get_query_set = get_queryset def active(self): m = (self.get_query_set if hasattr(self, 'get_query_set') else self.get_queryset) return m().filter(active=True)
Working out what the conditional should be is tricky. The above is the pattern I decided to use in the Django 1.6 release notes, which only defines the method if you are on Django 1.5. An alternative would be to define it all the way up to Django 1.7, but you get problems either way.
The above pattern will only work correctly on Django 1.6 and up if all the classes in the stack follow this pattern. Otherwise you will get methods being missed out. So, despite the fact that Django 1.6 had compatibility shims for code that might be slow to upgrade, you can't rely on that, and will get potentially serious bugs if you don't upgrade your entire stack to cope with this.]]>
A lot of programming language debate is of the form "feature X is really good, every language needs it", or "feature X is much better than its opposite feature Y". The classic example is static vs dynamic typing, but there are many others, such as different types of meta-programming etc.
I often find myself pulled in both directions by these debates, as I'm rather partial to both Haskell and Python. But I'd like to suggest that doing this kind of comparison in the abstract, without talking about specific languages, is misguided, for the following reasons:
In my experience, static typing in Haskell is almost entirely unlike static typing in C, and different again from C# 1.0, and, from what I can tell, very different from static typing in C# 5.0. Does it really make sense to lump all these together?
Similarly, dynamic typing in Shell script, PHP, Python and Lisp are perhaps more different than they are alike. You can't even put them on a spectrum — for example, Python is not simply a 'tighter' type system than PHP (in not treating strings as numbers etc.), because it also has features that allow far greater flexibility and power (such as dynamic subclassing due to first class classes).
One of my favourite features of Python, for example, is keyword arguments. They often increase the clarity of calling code, and give functions the ability to grow new features in a backwards compatible way. However, this feature only makes sense in combination with other features. If you had keyword arguments but without the **kwargs syntax for passing and receiving an unknown set of keyword arguments, it would make decorators extremely difficult.
If you are thinking of how great Python is, I don't think it helps to talk about keyword arguments in general as a killer feature. It is keyword arguments in Python that work particularly well.
For example:
So, a dynamic typing advocate might say that static typing means lots of repetitive and verbose boilerplate to indicate types. That criticism might apply to Java, but it doesn't apply to Haskell and many other modern languages, where type inference handles 95% of the times where you might need to specify types.
The corollary to the above fallacy is that if you are only debating language features in the abstract, you can pick whichever implementation you want in order to refute a claim. Someone claims that dynamic typing makes IDE support for refactoring very difficult, and a dynamic typing advocate retorts that this isn't the case with Smalltalk — ignoring the fact that they don't use Smalltalk, they have never used Smalltalk, and their dynamically-typed language of choice does indeed present much greater or even insurmountable problems to automated refactoring.
Defending the best implementation goes further when you actually defend one that doesn't exist yet.
The mythical "smart enough compiler" is an example of this, and another would be dynamic typing advocates might talk about "improving" dynamic analysis.
Hypothetical implementations are always great for winning arguments, especially as they can combine all the best features of all the languages, without worrying about whether those features will actually fit together, and produce something that people would actually want to use. Sometimes a hybrid turns out like Hercules, and sometimes like the Africanized bee.
In choosing a programming language, it's not only the features of the language that you have to consider — there is long list of other factors, such as the maturity of the language, the community, the libraries, the documentation, the tooling, the availability (and quality) of programmers etc.
Sometimes the quality of these things are dominated by accidents of history (which language became popular and when), and sometimes they can be traced back to features of the language design.
Many language-war debates ignore all these things. But it's even easier if you are not actually comparing real languages — just language features, abstracted from everything else.
I understand that comparing everything at once is difficult, and we will always attempt to break things down into smaller pieces for analysis. But I doubt that this goes very far with programming languages, because of the way the different features interact with each other, and also exert huge influence on the way that everything else develops e.g. libraries.
Language features exist within the context of a language and everything surrounding that language. It seems to me that attempts to analyse them outside that context simply lead to false generalisations.
Of course, being really concrete and talking about specific languages often ends up even more personal, which has its own pitfalls! Is there a good way forward?
Here is way of learning to create a website using the Django web framework without having to install anything on your local computer.
This might be useful if:
I'm assuming you already know how to program in Python, or are sufficiently experienced with programming that you don't mind learning Python while learning Django at the same time. If not, have a look at these starting points:
If you don't know much about programming, try Learn Python The Hard Way.
If you are experienced with other programming languages, but not Python, try, Dive Into Python.
I'm assuming you are reasonably comfortable with typing things into a command prompt or terminal. Thankfully, even if you are not, you'll be doing everything in a virtual machine somewhere on the internet, so you can't break anything!
Go to http://code.runnable.com/ and sign up for an account.
Create a new project, choosing 'Django'.
You'll be presented with an almost empty Django project, complete with a terminal. You can browse and edit files, and types commands at the terminal, and press the big green 'Run' button to run your site and view pages in another tab.
However, we first want to remove some things so that we can follow the Django tutorial exactly.
In the terminal, type the following commands and hit enter. First, delete all the files created in /var/www:
rm -rf /var/www/*
Next, we need to upgrade Django, because runnable.com installed an old version:
pip install --upgrade Django
Now, open up the Django docs and start the tutorial, from part 1:
Because you are running on runnable.com, rather than your own computer, you'll need to make some very slight adjustments to the instructions at certain places:
Ignore the comment about not putting files in /var/www — while it should be followed in general, it will make it hard for you to edit files on code.runnable.com if you put them outside /var/www.
After you have run startproject in the tutorial, you will need to find the settings.py file and make an adjustment. Find the block that defines MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES and remove the line:
This middleware is an important security feature, but it interferes with the way that runnable.com displays your project in a frame (in its normal workflow), and without this change you will be presented with a blank page after you press 'Run'.
When it comes to running the your Django project, the easiest way is if you use the green 'Run' button, but adjust the command. Click on the gear icon to configure it, and change the command to:
cd /var/www/mysite; python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80
Now press the 'Run' button.
And that's it! You should be able to complete the tutorial with these adjustments.
I hope this has been helpful! Please comment with any corrections.
To go further, you'll probably want to have a look at Getting started with Django.
With slightly different concepts of "self-hosting":
I'm struggling to define this concept exactly. A common thread with all of them is that there will be some kind of boot-strapping problem before maturity is reached. Also, most of these things can be classified more simply as "software development tools" — due to the fact that most software development tools are software, there is the possibility of this kind of "recursion".
Are there other things in this category that I haven't thought of? Are there lots of areas of life outside the software world where this is common?]]>
It's often said that the zero-based indexing common in programming languages is a completely "unnatural" (and therefore wrong) way to do indexing. If you count (and label) a list of things in the real world, who in their right mind would start with zero?
This post describes a place in "the real world" where zero-based indexing makes perfect sense, whether or not it is the most obvious thing to do initially. This may be helpful to someone new to programming, when it seems that this zero-based indexing has been deliberately invented just to make like difficult.
Suppose you sell books (hi Stephen!), and you need to store them.
You have shelves that can store 100 books. If you need more than that, you can get more shelves - you can stack 10 shelves on top of each other into an aisle. If you get more than 1000 books, then you can have multiple aisles. Since you want to keep things organised, you keep going with the whole 10 thing - so you have 10 aisles to a room, 10 rooms to a floor, 10 floors to a building etc.
Suppose you haven't got that far yet, and you've just got a single room of aisles and shelves, and can store up to 10,000 books.
You "natually" decided to start labelling things at 1. The first book is book 1, the first shelf is shelf 1, the first aisle is aisle 1.
Now, someone orders book 8650, and you need to find it. Where is it? It's on aisle 9, shelf 7. Hmm, not so obvious. But it's fairly simple to add 1 to each digit, right? So book 8699 is also on aisle 9, shelf 7. And book 8700 is on — oh, actually, that is also on aisle 9, shelf 7. Book 8701 is the first one on aisle 9 shelf 8. So the add 1 thing doesn't really work. The rules are:
For book XYZZ: Add 1 to X to get the aisle, add 1 to Y to get the shelf. And if ZZ is 0, subtract 1 from the shelf number you calculated. No wait, what about book 1000? - that would give me aisle 2, shelf 0, which doesn't exist. OK, try again...
No, let's start again.
You think about things slightly longer, and you decide to start labelling things at 0. The first book is 0, the first shelf is 0, the first aisle is 0.
Now, someone orders book 8650, and you need to find it. Where is it? It's on aisle 8, shelf 6 - just like every book labelled 86ZZ. That's it.
So, it turns out that the most "natural" way to number things ended up being a pain in the neck.
In fact, if I was given the task of indexing things in a library or book store etc., I'm fairly certain that I would consider starting at zero to be the most natural and obvious choice, because of my experience with computers. It might not be the most obvious choice for someone else, or the easiest to learn initially, but it is certainly easier to use long term (at least in my hypothetical book store).
From the analogy, when would it make sense to start from zero when labelling things?
These are things that are true of computer memory. There are lots of pieces of data in a computer that we need to be able to reference. For practical reasons, computers tend to use base 2, not base 10, so there are constraints on the number of binary digits rather than the number of decimal digits. A 32-bit computer can't (easily) address a number that requires more than 32 binary digits to express.
So computer memory is best labelled starting at zero. But it's not just memory. To organize the amount of data that computers can process, we often store the size of the data in the data itself, and include this when we pass it around - for example when we send it over a network, or store it in a file. So, a file, or a section of a file, might have a header at the beginning that contains 4 bytes (a 32 bit number) that indicates how long that file or section is, or might contain an offset indicating where another piece of data is.
So, when you deal with computer data, you are often having to deal with labels for the data, and numbers that represent offsets into data etc. To avoid all the adding 1 etc., and errors or head-aches associated with that, the zero-based indexing makes most sense.
Now, there are many problems in programming where the constraints of the underlying architecture do not show through. Very often, the upper limits are so far away that they are of no concern, and the way things are organized in memory is of no concern, and you aren't dealing with numbers that are constrained to be 32-bits, for example.
But that leads to a dilemma. Should you use the more "natural" 1-based indexing for those problems, and stick to zero-based indexing for the others? Doing so can cause huge problems. Having more than one convention is very confusing. And often, code can be general enough that it will work for a wide variety of problems, so for a given line of code, there is no clue which type of problem it applies to.
So it's best to stick to one convention to avoid confusion. Which one? Well, that's the subject of wars, and there are lots more arguments (in both directions). But if you are struggling with the choice of zero-based indexing, it wasn't made just to annoy you, it was made because it works really well for some types of problems. And you might find it becomes natural eventually.]]>
This is the third in a seris of posts in which my upcoming wedding has exercised my programming skills.
There are a lot of ways to seat approx 130 guests in tables of 10.
(Digression: how many ways?
There are n! ways to order a list of n people.
However, we then group that list of n people into j groups (tables) of size k each (assuming an exact division is possible for simplicity).
In each group, there are k! different ways to order the people, but all these are considered equivalent for our purposes (we don't care what order people are listed within a table). So we divide by k!, and do it j times, once for each table.
We could then shuffle all the groups, and all the results of such shuffling are also considered equivalent. So we divide by j! to count for these permutations.
So, I make it: n!/((k!^j)*j!)
(You can get the same formula by considering 'n choose k' to choose the people for the first table, multiplied by '(n-k) choose k', for the second, etc., with n reducing by k each time as the pool of available people shrinks, dividing by j! to account for permutations of tables, and simplifying).
Or, in my case:
54, 890, 022, 949, 532, 268, 126, 852, 483, 022, 955, 182, 591, 896, 498, 645, 394, 651, 998, 355, 750, 163, 025, 911, 301, 922, 700, 044, 395, 961, 856, 125, 066, 251, 303, 921, 134, 714,366, 269, 440, 000
But my maths is shockingly bad — corrections in comments are welcome! Whether I've got it right or not, there are still definitely lots of potential arrangements...
[Edit 2014-02-28: previous incorrect formula got me a larger figure, 2.201437978814401e+202]
End of digression...)
So, we haven't got into the business of doing the table plan yet, but this is such a nice programming puzzle that I couldn't resist starting now (and we probably need to get a move on if we are to get this done...).
I found one commercial solution, Perfect Table Plan, but:
I found a paper tackling the problem, but:
So I wrote my own. I used a model very similar to the one given in the paper, with some tweaks.
The idea is that you define a matrix of connections, with a zero indicating that the people don't know each other, 1 that they do know each other, plus 50 indicating that they must be together, and negative numbers for people who should be kept apart!
You then use this matrix to rate different potential seating plans — essentially trying to maximise the strength of connections on tables, summed over all people. In order to explore the possible solutions, I'm using simulated annealing, and a simulating annealing Python module that I found.
Defining a matrix for how 130 people know each other is a challenge. I've created a UI with a grid, and added controls to make it easy to enter connections for groups of people together. This provides a reasonable solution, but a grid 130x130 is a bit of a pain.
The UI is all in a web browser, with the main algorithmic code running server side, written in Python. I've used Flask as the web framework, instead of Django which I almost always use, since it is nice and light, and I don't need an ORM or admin etc.
I also discovered a few tricks along the way.
I don't want this web app to be storing any data on the server at all, not even temporarily, but people still need to be able to save their data (the connection matrix that they have defined, and also any generated seating plans they want to save) in a convenient way, and be able to upload the data that they saved previously. Copy-paste to a text file works, but it is far from convenient.
For downloading data, I've found a trick using an iframe with an auto-submitting POST form. The server simply echoes back the POSTed data with "Content-Disposition: attachment", and the data will be saved — in Chrome and Firefox this works very well, since they can be instructed very easily not to prompt you for every file that is downloaded, so this becomes a one-click process.
For uploading data, within a single page app, there is now a way to do this using XHR, at least for modern browsers. I then have a simple view which again just echoes the data back client-side, allowing me to use a browser's normal file upload mechanism to get the data back into the client-side app.
From my tests so far, I don't think the algorithm is going to be up to the job, especially with the machine time I have available. It worked quite well for 25 people, but 130 is another matter. I'm leaving it to run for a few hours, using a high number of "exploration steps", and fairly high "annealing time", but I'm not that hopeful.
First, I think there is a flaw in the model: it tries to maximises the total strength of connections between people on a table, summed across all people and tables. However, this has some bad implications: if someone is moved to a table where they know lots of people, the score will increase a lot, due to everyone on the destination table being happier. If they have left a table where they knew, say one person, that will be a penalty, but not a big one. But it is possible that the person they abandoned is now left friendless on that table. Overall, the score will still increase — the misery of the one friendless person having been outweighed by the happiness of the larger group.
So, basically, it is too utilitarian. Or it doesn't weigh the misery of being alone strongly enough.
Second, I suspect that the solution space is just too large to explore. Simulated annealing requires you to define a 'move' function, to change the system from one state to a nearby one. I just swap two random people on two random tables.
Now, in many cases you have a strong requirement that two or more people sit together e.g. a connection coefficient of 50. There is first of all the problem of random swaps getting these people together in the first place. Second, once they are together, you get a local maxima, but because each move only moves one person, not the group, they are basically stuck at that table, barring a small miracle in which they are both swapped to the same table by chance within a few moves.
So I'm thinking that a different physical metaphor is needed — something more like gravity or springs, which kind of guarantees that couples and their children will find each other, and stick together. I can't think how to continue that model so that you satisfy the strict constraints of so many people to a table.
I have very little experience with this kind of code, so it is fun to be stretched in this direction!
Since this is highly algorithmic code, I experimented with PyPy.
Initially I found PyPy was actually a bit slower. However, my code uses lists of integers to represent people, and originally I used 'None' as a sentinel value to represent an empty seat. I realised this might be killing PyPy's JIT. Switching to a sentinel value of '-1' gave me approximately 5x to 10x improvement with PyPy. So it is now worth using PyPy.
Other than that one optimisation, I've done very little, so there are probably big ways the code could be improved.
It's all free, and on BitBucket:
I'm kind of hoping that someone will turn this into something that actually works. It is quite a fun problem, but it has taken up far too much of my time this week, given that sitting on the floor with bits of paper is probably going to be much more effective...
[Update: having let it work for a longer run of a few hours, the results are surprisingly good. It has at least managed to satisfy all of the '50' connections, grouping families of up to 6 together, and managing to get other '50' couples onto the same table. And so far, the only examples I can find of people without any friends on a table are people for whom I haven't put in any connection info yet. I'm impressed! But it still lacks that human touch...]
As is common in Europe (due to the wonderful ISO 216 and its neat A-size series with the 1:√2 ratio), I'm making a booklet with pages that are the standard A5 size, portrait, but need to be printed on landscape A4 paper — in 2 columns, and double-sided too, so you end up with 4 A5 pages to an A4 sheet, and a booklet that can be stapled in the middle.
Now the stupid way to do it, which I've done before, is to manually work out how the pages need to be ordered, and compose them that way in your document editing software. This is a pain in the neck — even with a DTP that allows for arbitrary flowing of text around the document. The order is really not obvious, and you can easily get confused. And if you find you actually need another A4 sheet, it will be a nightmare.
The booklet in question is the order of service, and I was fed up with the stupid way, so this wedding has again has given me some reason to use my programming skills.
Without further ado, here is my solution, in case anyone else finds it useful:
It takes a PDF containing A5 sheets, and churns out a PDF with them organised into A4 sheets. In fact it isn't limited to those sizes — it will do anything, but it does assume all the pages of the input document are the same size.
It use the PyPDF2 library, which isn't brilliantly documented, but was easy enough to use for this purpose.
The algorithm for working out the order is nicely separated from the PDF specific code, so it could be easily repurposed for other formats.]]>
I'm getting married in 3 weeks time - yay!
But this post isn't about that — it's a quick programming-and-wedding-related tip.
We set up a John Lewis gift list, but we found the web site's instructions for use could be improved.
The instructions to pass on to potential givers were:
That's fine for printed instructions, but if you already have a website, there is this magical thing called a hyperlink which should be able to take you straight there, without any error prone typing etc. John Lewis didn't provide any instructions for doing this, and as the number never appears in a URL, even after this point, it isn't obvious that there is a way to do it.
However, I managed to impress my fiancée with my leet hacking skills to get around this. OK, so I right clicked at an appropriate place, chose "Inspect element", applied some knowledge of web development and made a few easy guesses. I came up with the following URL which works, and will take you straight to your gift list:
Just replace YOURNUMBER with your actual number.
That's all for now - but further wedding-inspired posts are to follow!]]>

Salt-N-Pepa, the stretchy-pant-loving and doorknocker-earring-sporting trio of ladies from Queens, N.Y., is responsible for jams that we all know and love: "Whattaman," "Shoop," "Push It" and "Let's Talk About Sex." Salt, Pepa and their DJ, Spinderella, conquered the charts (and some challenging fashions) in the late '80s and early '90s as one of hip-hop's pioneering acts, male or female. Notable for injecting a little feminism into their booty-shaking as they parsed some rather raunchy topics from a woman's point of view, they secured American Music Award nominations, a Grammy and something a little more elusive for women in hip-hop: respect. The trio disbanded in the late '90s, but reunited in 2009 and have since shared the stage with everyone from Biz Markie to Public Enemy. So don't even pretend you don't know the words (I've seen what happens in an adequately drunk room when "Push It" comes on) and watch some of rap's trailblazers do their thing. MS
Back when "Dirty South" was the name of a song instead of a catch-all brand, Outkast and Goodie Mob brought a jolt of creativity and regional pride to rap in the mid-'90s. Goodie Mob was a great group (if not historically great like Outkast), but it was clear even then that CeeLo Green's talents were bigger than one group, or even one genre. He sang and slurred and rapped his way through scene-stealing verses with country swagger and something too often lacking in the rap and R&B of the time: soul. (His contribution to an Outkast song still stands for me as one of rap's most jarringly tender opening lines: "I don't recall ever graduating at all / Sometimes I feel I'm just a disappointment to y'all.") The rest is history: five Grammy awards for solo work and Gnarls Barkley, his soul collaboration with producer Danger Mouse; the hit "Crazy," which at times has felt like the most ubiquitous song on the planet; a solo track with such infectious Motown vibes that it was a mammoth hit even though it was called "Fuck You"; reality television stints and a Super Bowl halftime show with Madonna. He's also a dynamite live performer, a bundle of manic energy — I was once on the receiving end of a CeeLo stage dive in the Goodie Mob days and collapsed beneath his weight. He's a big dude, so watch out. DR

by Yeats, William Butler
Publisher:Modern Library
Gathered by the renowned Irish poet, playwright, and essayist William Butler Yeats, the sixty-five tales and poems in this delightful collection uniquely capture the rich heritage of the Celtic imagination. Filled with legends of village ghosts, fairies, demons, witches, priests, and saints, these stories evoke both tender pathos and lighthearted mirth and embody what Yeats describes as the very voice of the people, the very pulse of life.
The impact of these tales doesnt stop with Yeats, or Joyce, or Oscar Wilde, writes Paul Muldoon in his Foreword, for generations of readers in Ireland and throughout the world have found them flourishing like those persistent fairy thorns.

Most plants, in addition to increasing in height as they age, also increase in girth, putting down secondary vascular tissue in layers both on the inner and outer sides of the cambium as they grow. However, palms do not have secondary growth, and there is no addition of secondary vascular tissue. Instead, stem tissues are laid down in a series of interconnected vascular bundlesthus, not only is the base of the palm the oldest and the top the youngest, but these tissues from old to young, from base to top, must also remain active in order to provide support and transport water and nutrients throughout the tree.
Indeed, the authors illustrate this by reviewing evidence of sustained primary growth in two types of palms, the coconut and the sago palm. These species represent the spectrum in tissue organization from one where cells are relatively uniform and provide both hydraulic and mechanical functions (the coconut) to one where these functions are sharply divided with the inner cells functioning mainly for transporting water and nutrients and the outer ones for mechanical support (the sago palm). This represents a progression in specialization of the vascular tissues.
Moreover, there is evidence of continued metabolic activity in several types of tissues present in the stems of palms, including vascular tissue, fibers, ground tissue, and starch storage. Since the vascular tissues in palms are nonrenewable, they must function indefinitely, and Tomlinson and Huggett point out that sieve tubes and their companion cells are remarkable examples of cell longevity as they maintain a lon

They set up an open house at a local hotel and contacted locals that they felt would fit their needs. Lucky for them there were a bunch of recently-RIFed guys to choose from.
Interview Questions
- What is a "placement new" Answer Question
- No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lumension Security (Austin, TX) in May 2013.
I was contacted by a recruiter for a phone interview with Lumension. I was told they had just acquired a company in Austin so I would be able to work here. I had a job but I figured I should listen anyhow. My first interview was a phone interview with a Jr CM. He was very knowledgeable, and thought he was interviewing me since I would be his manager. He said that he had been told working in Austin is no big deal as they have offices around the world. It was a standard interview and I passed. The second interview was a panel with the Austin office. We phoned in the Scottsdale office which included the VP of the Development. I passed with flying colors, had a tour of the office, and was told that working in Austin was no big deal or they wouldn't be wasting their time on me. The third interview was with the VP of Development here in Austin. That also went well, again I was told working in Austin would be fine though I would be spending some time in Scottsdale at first to learn the system. All common answers and seemed to be a sure thing. Finally my recruiter called me up and gave me weak reasons why I didn't qualify technically (which if were true would never have gotten me a personal trip from the VP.) She was also told they were never cleared to hire a person outside of Scottsdale. It was a total waste of time except for interviewing experience I guess. I believe i'm better off that i did not get an offer.
Interview Questions

- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lumension Security (Scottsdale, AZ) in November 2009.

Interview Questions
- Build me a trashcan, build me a house, describe to me how to tie your shoe 1 Answer
Initial offer too low, re-described my qualifications and value I bring to the company, submitted my salary requirements, they met it
- No OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lumension Security in February 2010.
I was contacted by several Recruiters for a position at Lumension. After speaking with one of the Recruiters, I accepted the initial phone interview and spoke with a VP at Lumension. The interview peaked my interest and I accepted another interview, this time with a visiting Sr. VP. That interview provided me with an invitation to present to the original Departmental VP and give a presentation. The presentation went well and it was determined that they would make a decision before the Company kick-off in May. I never heard from the VP. One of the recruiters indicated that they had sent several very good people to this VP that were not selected. I received several calls from other Recruiters about this position throughout the process which made me wonder why so many were contacting me or why Lumension couldn't find an acceptable candidate in this market - many red flags. My assessment was that they were/are looking for the perfect candidate - Good Luck!

JJ Murphy the Joyful Forager on Healthier Ways to Find, Prepare and Eat Food.
in Food
Forager and writer JJ Murphy has been eating wild foods since she could walk. Growing up on a family farm in Connecticut gave her many opportunities to forage yards, gardens and woods. After earning a Masters degree in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Kansas, she moved to New York City and discovered urban foraging.
JJ writes The Joyful Forager column for the Shawangunk Journal in New York's Hudson Valley. Her articles have appeared in the publications Wildness Magazine, Outdoors Unlimited, and Spores Illustrated. Ms. Murphy studies wild mushrooms with renown mycologist Gary Lincoff and was a scholarship recipient at the Clark Rogerson Mushroom Foray and the North East Mycological Federation Foray.
She studied ethnobotany with Barrie Kavasch and forages with television host Wildman Steve Brill, Sam Thayer, Jim Cappossela, Leda Meredith and has taken bushcraft courses with Tracker Tom Brown, adding tracking, hunting, fishing and trapping to her wild food gathering skills. JJ Murphy lives in Orange County, NY at the foot of Schunemunk Mountain.
Joyful Foraging is a step by step guide for anyone who wants to eat healthier, fresher, more flavorful foods while trimming grocery costs by 30% or more. Ms. Murphy's easy to follow ebook shows readers how to forage wild edibles in urban, suburban and rural settings, use them in revamped gourmet recipes, cocktails and even pet food, all while benefitting local eco-systems.

Neonicotinoids Interfere With Specific Components of Navigation in Honeybees
in Environment
Industry continues to claim neonicotinoids have little to no impact on honeybees but there are numerous studies, especially this particular study which prove the devastating impact. The research conducted by Dr. Randolf Menzel is solid proof that neonicotinoids do interfere with specific components of navigation in honeybees. This research was published almost two years ago and has also never been negated. Why? It's simple. The research is concrete. For our listeners that are unfamiliar with the work of Dr. Randolf Menzel, here is the original interview.
In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Neurobiologist and Professor Emeritus, at the Free University of Berlin, Dr. Randolf Menzel about his research titled, Neonicotinoids Interfere with Specific Components of Navigation in Honeybees. Dr. Menzel pioneered the honeybee as a model system in neuroscience with respect to color vision, olfaction, learning, and memory. Combining levels of analysis from natural behavior to single neurons, he traced perceptual and cognitive capacities to their neural and cellular substrates. He established the first evidence for the role of the insect mushroom body in memory formation and characterized the cellular and neural correlates of different phases of memory. His latest research explores the use of three neonicotinoids, (neonicotinoids, imidacloprid, clothianidin and thiacloprid) and their impact on honeybee navigation. Stay tuned!
