In the Django Model class, super(Model, self).__init__ is never called. Since Django inherits from object, there is no backwards-compatibility issues by calling super.__init__, and it enables multiple-inheritance/mixins to work as expected in standard Python classes.

there is backwards compatibility issues with this change, init for sibling class in cases where there is multiple inheritance is now called when it wasn't called before, and called at a specific point in model construction.
code that used multiple inheritance with models would have had to explicitly call init or assume it never gets called, so I can't see how u consider this backward compatible.
that's a major change to introduce in a bug fix release (1.2.5), it is also an undocumented change.
it doesn't help with situation where there are more than two classes involved in the multiple inheritance, always calls the constructor at the end of the function when there are situations where it might be better called at the start, so I'm not sure it is better than letting client code explicitly call the constructor if required.
it also assumes init in all classes involved requires no arguments (should at least pass *args, kwargs).

Replying to alaa:

it also assumes init in all classes involved requires no arguments (should at least pass *args, kwargs).
These are reasonable concerns, IMO, particularly the latter -- but reopening this ticket is the wrong place to raise them. The issue in this ticket has been fixed - if there are problems with the fix, we need another ticket that describes that problem. Or better, since I suspect some design judgment calls will be needed, bring it up for discussion on the django-developers mailing list.

I agree with alaa, is there a new ticket that has been created for this new issue?
comment:9 Changed 5 years ago by dmrschmidt
- UI/UX unset
Just found this ticket here and I actually DO have an issue with that one. I am using Mixins in some classes, passing them 4 arguments in their init. This now results in
TypeError "init() takes exactly 4 arguments (1 given)". So will there be a fix for this in 1.2.X?

ROPE RESCUE at grain bins
Getting ready to Rappel.
Members of the Gothenburg Volunteer Fire Department had an all-day training Friday night, Saturday and Sunday morning at the All Points Cooperative bin site along Highway 30.
Fire chief Mark Ballmer said the department had their first rope rescue class two years ago and then bought equipment which is required for the state fire marshal to do the training. Ballmer said the training was needed so the department has a way of getting someone injured from a high place, such as an elevator, bin or roof or from a low area (like a canyon or boot pit where he or she can be treated. Pictured is Keith Williamson (far right) as he gets ready to rappel. Trevor Anderson is to Williamson's right. The others are from the State Fire Marshal Training Division.

Looking back on three things discussed here before the Arizona Cardinals' 2013 exhibition opener, which they led 17-0 when I filed this late in the fourth quarter:
1. Palmer's debut: New quarterback Carson Palmer completed four of six passes for 77 yards with one touchdown, zero interceptions and a 149.3 passer rating. He certainly looked like the upgrade Arizona sought from its previous quarterbacks. Both incomplete passes were deeper attempts on third down. Palmer found Andre Roberts for a 38-yard touchdown against the Green Bay Packers' starting defense (Arizona was tied for last in the NFL with three passes of 38-plus yards last season). Palmer also found Larry Fitzgerald for a 21-yard gain and Michael Floyd for an 18-yard gain. When backup Drew Stanton threw a touchdown pass to Jaron Brown, the Cardinals had as many scoring passes as the 2012 team managed through two-plus preseason games. Nearly 12 minutes remained in the second quarter.
2. Mathieu and the DBs: The Cardinals are building their secondary around young defensive backs Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu. Both made impact plays in this game. Peterson, the fifth player selected in the 2011 draft, picked off Green Bay backup quarterback Graham Harrell. Mathieu, a third-round choice this year, broke up a pass with a hard hit early in the game. He later collected a 12-yard sack on a blitz from the slot. Mathieu also provided a 23-yard punt return in the fourth quarter. He and Peterson could be good together for a long time.
3. Running back picture: Rashard Mendenhall, Ryan Williams and Andre Ellington did not play. Alfonso Smith carried 10 times for 21 yards and didn't appear to have much room for running. Rookie Stepfan Taylor looked good picking up 14 yards on one of his carries. However, the Cardinals did not run the ball well in this game. They did not find out much about their running backs.

"Magyarország" Hungary by Maline
Hungary Travel Guide: 11,204 reviews and 28,596 photos
Hungary is definitely one of my favourite countries so far. I have been to Hungary, four (or is it 5) times by now. The first visit was in 1991, and the last in 2000.
Most of my time in Hungary I have spent in the southern town of Pécs, but I have managed a few visits to Budapest also.
Very striking about Hungary is how totally impossible it is to understand Hungarian. Hungarian, like Finnish, belongs to the Finno-Ugrian family of languages, and is therefore less related to Swedish, English or French than is for example polish, which is Slavic, but still an Indo-
European language.
Lemme give you some examples:
book - könyv
hello - szia
good - yo
ugly - chunya
yes - igen
no - nem
I don't understand! - Nem todom!
The list goes on and on. Can you see any similarities?
Didn't think so.
This is a real problem for the foreign traveller who dares to leave the most touristic streets of Budapest. Communication with the people. A little German comes in handy, if he is tagging along, but English is not that commonly spoken. At least not in my experience.
But, don't let this put you off. Hungary is a diverse country, with lots of beautiful sceneries, a great sense of history and a good deal of national pride.
The landscapes vary from buyoant cities to vignobles and lush hills.
Go there and see for yourself!

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - A brand new program at Grand Junction High School is striving to help get students into college.
It's modeled after a program that's been successful for more than 20 years. We introduced you to AVID a few weeks ago - that's a college–prep program that's helped students get ready for college since it started in San Diego in 1980.
Grand Junction High School didn't have the funds to do AVID at their school, but the concepts of college prep aren't limited to one program, so teachers started their own.
"I just want to pass all my classes and I want to have really good grades. Really, really good grades," says Dylin Cruz, a freshman at Grand Junction High School. She's one of 25 students who are part of STRIVE, which stand for Students Taking Responsibility In Valuing Education.
The in–house program was founded by three teachers at the school.
They were looking to help students who meet certain criteria – including students whose parents didn't go to college or who are part of minority groups typically underrepresented in college.
"We feel that this is the group that needs the most assistance or the most support," says Justin Whiteford, one of the founding teachers of STRIVE.
The program is rigorous, and the students are driven.
"A lot of the kids have passion, they want to go to school," says Whiteford.
"I really want to get into college and I really want to make a statement," says Cruz. "I want people to know my name for helping the world or something."
As part of STRIVE, students have to keep up good grades. They're required to attend tutorial sessions, and take extensive notes.
"They have to be good or else you'll fail the class," says Cruz.
So far, STRIVE seems to be paying off.
Grade point averages for the students have increased two percentage points since their previous school year, and 90 percent of them now have all A's and B's.
By their senior year, everyone hopes the program will pay off even more.
"When a kid comes in, you work hard, you're dedicated... you're going to go on to Mesa," says Whiteford.
Grand Junction High School has partnered with Mesa State, which has agreed to provide financial help to those who qualify, when they're ready for college.
Mesa State also has a built–in support system of educational and career counseling students can take advantage of throughout their college career.
"It's just having someone to lean on. They have you buckled down from the first day of school," says Cruz.
But STRIVE hasn't just changed the way these students approach school each day.
"As teachers, it's made us more passionate now because we look forward to these classes – you know how much they appreciate it," says Whiteford.

"Bradley Convissar's book Dogs of war is brilliant! The writing is breathtakingly precise and painful. A ghost story way up on the line with my personal favorite Stephen King books: Cujo and the Pet Sematary." - Natalie Valentina, Goodreads
"I found myself comparing him to Stephen King, mainly because I have a hard time getting into his books, but once I do I am hooked. And it was this way with Dogs of War. I felt there was a lot of detail in the house that wasn't necessary, honestly I didn't need to know the colors of the sheet and bedding, but the tale of Molly and the ghosts that haunted her was riveting. I felt the horror that Gary felt when he allowed Molly out on the second ghostly visit and he witnessed her interaction with them. I was horrified when he made a ghastly discovery in the basement and understood Molly's and the ghosts need for vengeance. It all led up to an ending that did have me hooked, unable to put my kindle down until the conclusion." -Lisa McCourt Hollar, Jezri's Nightmares

Sampling your favorite dishes and desserts without the fat and calories.
Mouseindahouse: It's amazing how she can have a recollection of things of the past but yet can't remember anything in the last few years of her stint as Secretary of State. And now she's bringing her father into the political ring, because he's not here to protest. Clinton doesn't have a clue about small business owners. She's too far deep into the big corporations, Wall Street, money from foreign heads of government, and rich and famous in Hollywood. After her last bid for presidency she claimed she was "dead broke"..... funny how quickly she got back on her feet.

We all love a good story, and nothing is quite as compelling as a hero story.
You know the fella, he's got a bright red cape, blue spandex body suit and red pants. On the outside – ok, I don't really understand that bit either. Whatever.
Anyway you can picture the scene : there's a skyscraper, in a terrorised country, run by a dictator and a surprise earthquake triggered by a super villain leaves it perilously close to collapse, on the brink of destruction.
Cutscene. A woman and child scream in panic on the roof top! Oh my god! The emotional factor! What will happen to our poor victims?
Just in the last moment our hero swoops in, saves the day with his superhero strength, props up the skyscraper and then flies off to deal with other such similar potential tragedies.
And they all live, happily ever after. The woman and child safe, free to go back to their cancerous jobs burning e-waste for precious minerals, and the superhero gets that warm fuzzy narcissistic glow from being a hero.
The end.
Except it's not. It would be lovely if that was the end of the story, but of course the real story here is the construction story.
How did a skyscraper without sufficient earthquake protection get built in the first place?
In this story, there's a structural engineering firm, a project management firm, some shady financial shell companies (that make it impossible to really tell where the money for this project came from in the first place) and they're all suing the shit out of each other to avoid getting the blame.
But we focussed on the hero story, because it's easier and more palatable and we don't really have to think very hard about it. Obviously it doesn't matter that this focus predestines us to repeat the same mistakes, over and over and over again, until we learn that the hero, is a symptom of the problem, not a solution to it.
Don't fall for the easy story, if someone says to you the the word: hero, rockstar, superstar or guru, then chances are your organisation has some deep deep organisational problems and you're building skyscrapers without earthquake protection.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
They told me to come back and I would have a second interview. This would be where I would "shadow" another "independent contractor" (as they called their employees) and see if I liked the job. Well, sure enough, I did like it at first, I followed a guy named Jon on this trip. He seemed to teach me a lot about the job and how it worked. To me, it was a pyramid scheme, but it wasn't that bad AT FIRST. The guy I was with sold 1 book and made a total of $7 in 10 hours of work. We started our day at 7:30 am on a Thursday. We broke for a 10 minute lunch, in which I was unable to eat due to lack of money. There was another "second interview" with me as well, who was a friend to the other salesman that was there. That guy bought the other interview lunch, and the two salesman pitched in to buy each other food. I was left to watch them eat for 10 minutes. Even after asking, they told me that they would "get me back later" which apparently "later" never came, because I wasn't able to eat the entire day. Heading back to the office, I got hired that following Monday.
They had told me from the start that I was not going to be a "cold salesman" but in fact, was. We would go business to business door to door person to person selling these "coupon books" to any one person on the street, or in a building. There was no rock left un-turned. You know those "NO SOLICITING" signs in doors, meant for people like us? Well, their motto is "that means "welcome" in Spanish" and ignored the fact.
Each day that we worked, it was filled with lies and deceit towards the customer. We were told to tell the customer that the coupons are good anywhere, when in fact, even the LISTED LOCATIONS on the coupons are not valid at some of those places. The people would not accept them. So even the product was a scam.
Later in my career of working here, I went on a Road Trip, sounds fun, right? Wrong. We went to Altoona with 157 books, in attempt to sell each and every one of them. We went out, and had to wait all day for the Hotel, so we were out on the field working from 10am (when we arrived in altoona) until 9pm (when the hotel was finally ready). You'd think that they would have planned ahead for us going up because they let us know a week in advanced? When we finally GOT the hotel, it was a 2 bed hotel with 1 bath and 4 people. So 2 of us had to sleep on the floor. During the entire stay, the sales were very slim, at best. Every night they forced me to go out to the bar with them, even sell to the bartender and customers in the bar. Long story short, I ended up selling a total of 45 books in 6 days of this road trip. We had to stay an extra day. So in a total of 6 days straight (waking up at 8am, out on the field until 6pm, going to dinner spending our own money, and then BACK on the field from 7pm until 11pm) Total of 96 hours of work for a total of $315. Most of which had to be spent on Gas daily for the driver, and food amounting to about $220 in profit in 6 days. That is less than min. wage in the state of PA. I was making more in a week at McDonalds than I was here, and I was working harder here.
On top of all of this, I spent a total of $65 in gas for the driver, we get back to the office, the "Team Leader" as his title was called made an extra $3 per book to himself. So he made an extra $471 just for being the Team Leader. He has only worked for the company 2 weeks longer than I was at the time. So why does he benefit over double our profits just because he is a 2 week veteran?
The entire salary, is based strictly on commission, so if you sell 3 books in a week, you make $21 that week. This job is NOTHING but a pyramid scheme. Each "team leader" makes $1 per book you sell daily, so they automatically make money off of you. The promise of "moving up quickly" yeah... You wont see that unless you bust your a*s more than anyone else there, and even then it is VERY far away. They promise things to you that they don't keep. I worked there for 4 months, didn't miss ONE SINGLE day, sold out a lot of books to friends and family and even took advantage of "night orders" which you are able to take books out for the weekend, or the night and settle up in the morning. The longer you work there, the less they care for you. Unless you are able to move up, and moving up is d**n near impossible.
Some of the people that are affiliated with this company
Steve Graziani - Manager
Justin Lotz - Salesman
Brittany Brown - Receptionist / Steve's girlfriend
Rhett O'Hara - "Owner"
These are all of the people that make money off what YOU do. You don't see ANY of these benefits from them. Their goal, to hire as many people as possible and blanket areas so you sell a few books and packages here and there so they make $1000+ a week off of you. This job is simply a scam, awful work for the money you make, and there are NO benefits. If you fall ill, and are unable to make 2 or 3 days, they give you less inventory to sell, and try to break the money that you make in order to "punish" you for not showing up.
To aid you in this, here is a number and information you can reach them at.

LOWER TAPTI RIVER BASIN. Edition No. 1
- February 2011
- 164 Pages
- VDM Publishing House
The Lower Tapti River Basin (LTRB) constitutes a significant and integral part of the south Gujarat alluvial plains and provides a unique example of its geomorphic diversity, tectonism, eustatic changes and sedimentological processes. It evidenced events that occurred since Middle Pleistocene up to Holocene and comprises an exhaustive record of Quaternary sediments, resting on the platforms provided by the rocks of Tertiary and Deccan Trap Formations. However, except some cursory information by earlier workers, this area has received very less attention. This book, therefore, based on the field observations, laboratory investigations and other parameters, such as palaeo-geographic conditions, drainage characteristics, landform features, composite litho-stratigraphic succession, nature of sediments, tectonic signatures and seismic evidences, presents the influence of geological processes during Quaternary times in bringing about the evolution of LTRB and sedimentation history vis-à-vis neotectonic attributes. The present work also furnishes the variation in the land-sea boundary during Quaternary times in LTRB.
