You configure a Pyblosxom blog by setting configuration variables in a Python file called config.py. Each Pyblosxom blog has its own config.py file.
This chapter documents the config.py variables. Some of these are required, others are optional.
Note
Pyblosxom comes with a sample config file. This file does not have everything listed below in it. If you want to use a variable that’s not listed in your config file—just add it.
Each configuration variable is set with a line like:
py["blog_title"] = "Another pyblosxom blog"
where:
Most configuration values are strings and must be enclosed in quotes, but some are lists, numbers or other types of values.
Examples:
# this has a string value
py["foo"] = "this is a string"
# this is a long string value
py["foo"] = (
"This is a really long string value that breaks over "
"multiple lines. The parentheses cause Python to "
"allow this string to span several lines.")
# this has an integer value
py["foo"] = 4
# this is a boolean--True has a capital T
py["foo"] = True
# this is a boolean--False has a capital F
py["foo"] = False
# this is a list of strings
py["foo"] = [
"list",
"of",
"strings"
]
# this is the same list of strings formatted slightly differently
py["foo"] = ["list", "of", "strings"]
Since config.py is a Python code file, it’s written in Python and uses Python code conventions.
If you install any Pyblosxom plugins those plugins may ask you to set additional variables in your config.py file. Those variables will be documented in the documentation that comes with the plugin or at the top of the plugin’s source code file. Additional plugin variables will not be documented here.
You can add your own personal configuration variables to config.py. You can put any py["name"] = value statements that you want in config.py. You can then refer to your configuration variables further down in your config.py file and in your flavour templates. This is useful for allowing you to centralize any configuration for your blog into your config.py file.
For example, you could move all your media files (JPEG images, GIF images, CSS, ...) into a directory on your server to be served by Apache and then set the config.py variable py["media_url"] to the directory with media files and use $media_url to refer to this URL in your flavour templates.
(optional) string
If you have installed Pyblosxom on your web server using your distribution’s package manager or Python setuptools then you don’t need to set the codebase variable.
If you cannot install Pyblosxom on your web server then you can save the Pyblosxom source code to a location on your server and use the codebase setting instead. The codebase setting tells the Python interpreter where to find the Pyblosxom codebase. This should be the full path to where the Pyblosxom directory is on your system. It should be the path to the directory that holds the “Pyblosxom” directory (note the case–uppercase P lowercase b!).
For example, if you untarred Pyblosxom into /home/joe/pyblosxom-1.5/, then the Pyblosxom (uppercase P and lowercase b) directory should be in /home/joe/pyblosxom-1.5/ and you would set your codebase variable like this:
py["codebase"] = "/home/joe/pyblosxom-1.5/"
string
This is the title of your blog. Typically this should be short and is accompanied by a longer summary of your blog which is set in blog_description.
For example, if Joe were writing a blog about cooking, he might title his blog:
py["blog_title"] = "Joe's blog about cooking"
(optional) string; defaults to ""
This is the description or byline of your blog. Typically this is a phrase or a sentence that summarizes what your blog covers.
If you were writing a blog about restaurants in the Boston area, you might have a blog_description of:
py["blog_description"] = "Critiques of restaurants in the Boston area"
Or if your blog covered development on Pyblosxom, your blog_description might go like this:
py["blog_description"] = (
"Ruminations on the development of Pyblosxom and "
"related things that I discovered while working on "
"the project")
(optional) string, defaults to ""
This is the name of the author of your blog. Very often this is your name or a pseudonym.
If Joe Smith had a blog, he might set his blog_author to “Joe Smith”:
py["blog_author"] = "Joe Smith"
If Joe Smith had a blog, but went by the pseudonym “Magic Rocks”, he might set his blog_author to “Magic Rocks”:
py["blog_author"] = "Magic Rocks"
(optional) string; defaults to ""
This is the email address you want associated with your blog.
For example, say Joe Smith had an email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and wanted that associated with his blog. Then he would set the email address as such:
py["blog_email"] =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(optional) string; defaults to ""
These are the rights you give to others in regards to the content on your blog. Generally this is the copyright information, for example:
py["blog_rights"] = "Copyright 2005 Joe Bobb"
This is used in the Atom and RSS 2.0 feeds. Leaving this blank or not filling it in correctly could result in a feed that doesn’t validate.
string
This is the primary language code for your blog.
For example, English users should use en:
py["blog_language"] = "en"
This gets used in the RSS flavours.
Refer to ISO 639-2 for language codes. Many systems use two-letter ISO 639-1 codes supplemented by three-letter ISO 639-2 codes when no two-letter code is applicable. Often ISO 639-2 is sufficient. If you use very special languages, you may want to refer to ISO 639-3, which is a super set of ISO 639-2 and contains languages used thousands of years ago.
string
This is the character encoding of your blog.
For example, if your blog was encoded in utf-8, then you would set the blog_encoding to:
py["blog_encoding"] = "utf-8"
Note
This value must be a valid character encoding value. In general, if you don’t know what to set your encoding to then set it to utf-8.
This value should be in the meta section of any HTML- or XHTML-based flavours and it’s also in the header for any feed-based flavours. An improper encoding will gummy up some/most feed readers and web-browsers.
W3C has a nice tutorial on encoding. You may refer to IANA charset registry for a complete list of encoding names.
(optional) string; defaults to "C"
Pyblosxom uses the locale config variable to adjust the values for month names and dates.
In general, you don’t need to set this unless you know you’re not using en_US or en_UK.
A listing of language codes is at http://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt
A listing of country codes is at: http://userpage.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html
For example, if you wanted to set the locale to the Dutch language in the Netherlands you’d set locale to:
py["locale"] = "nl_NL.UTF-8"
string
This is the full path to where your blog entries are kept on the file system.
For example, if you are storing your blog entries in /home/joe/blog/entries/, then you would set the datadir like this:
py["datadir"] = "/home/joe/blog/entries/"
Note
A note about datadir on Windows:
Use / to separate directories in the datadir path even if you are using Windows. Examples of valid datadirs on Windows:
py["datadir"] = "/blog/entries/"
and:
py["datadir"] = "e:/blog/entries/"
(optional) integer; defaults to 0
The depth setting determines how many levels deep in the directory (category) tree that Pyblosxom will display when doing indexes.
(optional) list of strings; defaults to []
The ignore_directories variable allows you to specify which directories in your datadir should be ignored by Pyblosxom.
This defaults to an empty list (i.e. Pyblosxom will not ignore any directories).
For example, if you use CVS to manage the entries in your datadir, then you would want to ignore all CVS-related directories like this:
py["ignore_directories"] = ["CVS"]
If you were using CVS and you also wanted to store drafts of entries you need to think about some more in a drafts directory in your datadir, then you could set your ignore_directories like this:
py["ignore_directories"] = ["drafts", "CVS"]
This would ignore all directories named “CVS” and “drafts” in your datadir tree.
(optional) string
This is the full path to where your Pyblosxom flavours are kept.
If you do not set the flavourdir, then Pyblosxom will look for your flavours and templates in the datadir alongside your entries.
Note
“flavour” is spelled using the British spelling and not the American one.
For example, if you want to put your entries in /home/joe/blog/entries/ and your flavour templates in /home/joe/blog/flavours/ you would set flavourdir and datadir like this:
py["datadir"] = "/home/joe/blog/entries/"
py["flavourdir"] = "/home/joe/blog/flavours/"
Note
Use / to separate directories in the flavourdir path even if you are using Windows. Examples of valid flavourdir on Windows:
py["flavourdir"] = "/blog/flavours/"
and:
py["flavourdir"] = "e:/blog/flavours/"
(optional) string; defaults to "html"
This specified the flavour that will be used if the user doesn’t specify a flavour in the URI.
For example, if you wanted your default flavour to be “joy”, then you would set default_flavour like this:
py["default_flavour"] = "joy"
Doing this will cause Pyblosxom to use the “joy” flavour whenever URIs are requested that don’t specify the flavour.
For example, the following will all use the “joy” flavour:
http://example.com/blog/
http://example.com/blog/index
http://example.com/blog/movies/
http://example.com/blog/movies/supermanreturns
(optional) int; defaults to 5
The num_entries variable specifies the number of entries that show up on your home page and other category index pages. It doesn’t affect the number of entries that show up on date-based archive pages.
It defaults to 5 which means “show at most 5 entries”.
If you set it to 0, then it will show all entries that it can.
For example, if you wanted to set num_entries to 10 so that 10 entries show on your category index pages, you sould set it like this:
py["num_entries"] = 10
(optional) boolean; defaults to True
Whether or not to truncate the number of entries displayed on teh front page to num_entries number of entries.
For example, this causes all entries to be displayed on your front page (which is probably a terrible idea):
py["truncate_frontpage"] = False
(optional) boolean; defaults to True
Whether or not to truncate the number of entries displayed on a category-based index page to num_entries number of entries.
For example, this causes all entries in a category to show up in all category-based index pages:
py["truncate_category"] = False
(optional) boolean; defaults to False
Whether or not to truncate the number of entries displayed on a date-based index page to num_entries number of entries.
(optional) string; default is calculated based on HTTP server variables
This is the base url for your blog. If someone were to type this url into their browser, then they would see the main index page for your blog.
For example, if Joe Smith put his pyblosxom.cgi script into a cgi-bin directory and he was using Apache, his base_url might look like this:
py["base_url"] = "http://example.com/~joe/cgi-bin/pyblosxom.cgi"
However, it’s common that this can be determined by Pyblosxom by looking at the HTTP environment variables–so if you’re not doing any url re-writing, it’s possible that Pyblosxom can correctly determine the url and you won’t have to set the base_url variable at all.
If Joe got tired of that long url, Joe might set up some url re-writing on my web server so that the base_url looked like this:
py["base_url"] = "http://example.com/~joe/blog"
Note
Your base_url property should not have a trailing slash.
Note
If you use mod_rewrite rules or some other url rewriting system on your web server, then you’ll want to set this property.
(optional) string; defaults to “plain”
The default entry parser that Pyblosxom will use to parse this blog’s entry files. See Entry parsers.
(optional) string
This specifies the file that Pyblosxom will log messages to.
If this is set to “NONE”, then log messages will be silently ignored.
If Pyblosxom cannot open the file for writing, then log messages will be sent to sys.stderr.
For example, if you wanted Pyblosxom to log messages to /home/joe/blog/logs/pyblosxom.log, then you would set log_file to:
py["log_file"] = "/home/joe/blog/logs/pyblosxom.log"
If you were on Windows, then you might set it to:
py["log_file"] = "c:/blog/logs/pyblosxom.log"
Note
The web server that is executing Pyblosxom must be able to write to the directory containing your pyblosxom.log file.
(optional) string
This is based on the Python logging module, so the levels are the same:
This sets the log level for logging messages.
If you set the log_level to critical, then only critical messages are logged.
If you set the log_level to error, then error and critical messages are logged.
If you set the log_level to warning, then warning, error, and critical messages are logged.
So on and so forth.
For “production” blogs (i.e. you’re not tinkering with configuration, new plugins, new flavours, or anything along those lines), then this should be set to warning or error.
For example, if you’re done tinkering with your blog, you might set the log_level to info allowing you to see how requests are being processed:
py['log_level'] = "info"
(optional) string
This let’s you specify which channels should be logged.
If log_filter is set, then ONLY messages from the specified channels are logged. Everything else is silently ignored.
Each plugin can log messages on its own channel. Therefore channel name == plugin name.
Pyblosxom logs its messages to a channel named “root”.
Warning
A warning about omitting root:
If you use log_filter and don’t include “root”, then Pyblosxom messages will be silently ignored!
For example, if you wanted to filter log messages to “root” and messages from the “comments” plugin, then you would set log_filter like this:
py["log_filter"] = ["root", "comments"]
There are two properties in your config.py file that affect the behavior for loading plugins: plugin_dirs and load_plugins.
(optional) list of strings; defaults to an empty list
The plugin_dirs variable tells Pyblosxom which directories to look in for plugin files to load. You can list as many plugin directories as you want.
For example, if you stored your Pyblosxom plugins in /home/joe/blog/plugins/, then you would set plugin_dirs like this:
py["plugin_dirs"] = ["/home/joe/blog/plugins/"]
Note
Plugin directories are not searched recursively for plugins. If you have a tree of plugin directories that have plugins in them, you’ll need to specify each directory in the tree.
For example, if you have plugins in ~/blog/my_plugins/ and ~/blog/phils_plugins/, then you need to specify both directories in plugin_dirs:
py["plugin_dirs"] = [
"/home/joe/blog/my_plugins",
"/home/joe/blog/phils_plugins"
]
You can’t just specify ~/blog/ and expect Pyblosxom to find the plugins in the directory tree:
# This won't work!
py["plugin_dirs"] = [
"/home/joe/blog"
]
Note
Core plugins are automatically found—you don’t have to specify anything in your plugin_dirs in order to use core plugins.
(optional) list of strings
If there is no load_plugins setting in config.py Pyblosxom loads all plugins it finds in the directories specified by plugins_dir in alphanumeric order by filename. Specifying load_plugins causes Pyblosxom to load only the plugins you name and in in the order you name them.
The value of load_plugins should be a list of strings where each string is the name of a plugin module (i.e. the filename without the .py at the end).
If you specify an empty list no plugins will be loaded.
For example, if you had:
py["plugin_dirs"] = ["/home/joe/blog/plugins/"]
# py["load_plugins"] = []
in your config.py file and there were three plugins in /home/joe/blog/plugins/:
/home/
+- joe/
+- blog/
+- plugins/
+- plugin_a.py
+- plugin_b.py
+- plugin_c.py
then Pyblosxom would load all three plugins in alphabetical order by filename: plugin_a, then plugin_b, then plugin_c.
If you wanted Pyblosxom to only load plugin_a and plugin_c, then you would set load_plugins to:
py["load_plugins"] = ["plugin_a", "plugin_c"]
Note
In general, it’s better to explicitly set load_plugins to the plugins you want to use. This reduces the confusion about which plugins did what when you have problems. It also reduces the potential for accidentally loading plugins you didn’t intend to load.
Note
Pyblosxom loads plugins in the order specified by load_plugins. This order also affects the order that callbacks are registered and later executed. For example, if plugin_a and plugin_b both implement the handle callback and you load plugin_b first, then plugin_b will execute before plugin_a when the handle callback kicks off.
Usually this isn’t a big deal, however it’s possible that some plugins will want to have a chance to do things before other plugins. This should be specified in the documentation that comes with those plugins.
Enabling caching by setting the cacheDriver and cacheConfig variables in config.py speeds up rendering of your Pyblosxom pages.
(optional) string; defaults to “”
Pyblosxom has multiple cache mechanisms. Look at the source files in Pyblosxom/cache to see what mechanisms are available, then set cacheDriver to the cache mechanism that you want. For example:
py["cacheDriver"] = "entrypickle"
(optional) string; defaults to “”
Read the top of the source code file in Pyblosxom/cache for your selected cache driver (e.g. entrypickle.py) to see how to set the cacheConfig variable for it. For example:
py["cacheConfig"] = "/path/to/a/cache/directory"
Note
load_plugins should contain a list of strings where each string is a Python module—not a filename. So don’t add the .py to the end of the module name!
If you are using static rendering to deploy your Pyblosxom blog you need to set some additional configuration variables in your config.py file, see Deploy Pyblosxom with Static Rendering.


Proving Goals
Though Pyke has the capability to return multiple answers to a single goal, often you just want the first answer:
- some_engine.prove_1_goal(goal, **args)
goal is a Pyke goal (as a string). This may include pattern variables (which start with a '$').
>>> my_engine.prove_1_goal('bc_related0.father_son(thomas, david, $depth)') ({'depth': ('grand',)}, None)
Returns the first proof found as a 2-tuple: a dict of bindings for the pattern variables, and a plan. The plan is None if no plan was generated; otherwise, it is a Python function as described here.
Args must be specified as keyword arguments and are set as the value of the corresponding pattern variable.
>>> vars, plan = \ ... my_engine.prove_1_goal('bc_related0.father_son($father, $son, $depth)', ... father='thomas', ... son='david') >>> sorted(vars.items(), key=lambda item: item[0]) [('depth', ('grand',)), ('father', 'thomas'), ('son', 'david')]Prove_1_goal raises pyke.knowledge_engine.CanNotProve if no proof is found:
>>> my_engine.prove_1_goal('bc_related0.father_son(thomas, bogus, $depth)') Traceback (most recent call last): ... pyke.knowledge_engine.CanNotProve: Can not prove bc_related0.father_son(thomas, bogus, $depth)
- some_engine.prove_goal(goal, **args)
This returns a context manager for a generator yielding 2-tuples, as above. Unlike prove_1_goal it does not raise an exception if no proof is found:
>>> from __future__ import with_statement
>>> with my_engine.prove_goal( ... 'bc_related0.father_son(thomas, $son, $depth)') as gen: ... for vars, plan in gen: ... print(vars['son'], vars['depth']) bruce () david ('grand',)
Like prove_1_goal, above, pattern variables in the goal may be specified with keyword arguments:
>>> with my_engine.prove_goal( ... 'bc_related0.father_son($father, $son, $depth)', ... father='thomas') as gen: ... for vars, plan in gen: ... print(vars['son'], vars['depth']) bruce () david ('grand',)
Compiling Goals at Program Startup
Similar to Python's regular expression library, re, you may compile your goal statements once at program startup:
>>> from pyke import goal>>> my_goal = goal.compile('bc_related0.father_son($father, $son, $depth)')
Then use my_goal.prove_1 and my_goal.prove as many times as you'd like:
>>> vars, plan = my_goal.prove_1(my_engine, father='thomas', son='david') >>> sorted(vars.items(), key=lambda item: item[0]) [('depth', ('grand',)), ('father', 'thomas'), ('son', 'david')]>>> with my_goal.prove(my_engine, father='thomas') as gen: ... for vars, plan in gen: ... print(vars['son'], vars['depth']) bruce () david ('grand',)

What *is* computer memory? I decided to research this topic since it fell outside the immediate goal of learning programming languages, and yet is something so essential for understanding computers. I had no idea what it was or how it worked outside that there is memory for hard disks and RAM.
It turns out, RAM is what is most often called memory, and hard disks are more often referred to as storage, though the two are lumped in conversation to be able to distinguish their purpose. RAM is a stored information that requires a power connection to maintain its memory. Once power is lost, memory is gone. Hard disks (and other things like CD-RWs, flash drives, etc) on the other hand don't need power to retain the stored data.
Modern computers of course come with both kinds of memory, with RAM being a favorite because of its great speed and efficiency at accessing data and other forms of storage for its long-term usability. The best way to distinguish is perhaps to think of RAM as the temporary workspace for your project while storage is the carefully filed library. It's easier to grab stuff immediately from your workspace, but if you have too much open it gets cluttered and disfunctional. On the other hand, your library takes a while to comb through and find something, but you keep it there so you can always have it around and in the long run all those files will be helpful, but they're not always in immediate need.


Sets number of executors per instance.
Changing the number of executors will only affect future instances and existing instances (if any) will remain unaffected.

Pager Duty Notifications
All Nagios & Pingdom alerts and emails sent to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>go through PagerDuty
Set up your Notification and Handoff Notification Rules.
Pager Duty Escalations
- After 20 minutes, unacknowledged alerts are automatically escalated to backup on-call
- 20 minutes later, unacknowledged backup on-call alerts escalated to primary on-call
- rinse, repeat ^
Nagios/PagerDuty Integration
- Nagios service goes CRITICAL
- Nagios notifies PagerDuty every
$notify_interval
seconds
- PagerDuty rolls up alerts based on de-duplication rules
- PagerDuty alerts
- Nagios sends resolution when service goes OK
- 2-3 repeat until service clears
Pager Duty Actions
Acknowledging an alert silences it for 4 hours.
Resolving an alert tells PagerDuty it's fixed
If it's not resolved in Nagios, it will just re-alert you! PagerDuty does not talk to Nagios
Reassign will make the alert page another person
Nagios/PagerDuty Disconnect
- On-call resolves alert in PagerDuty. Still CRITICAL in Nagios
- Nagios continues to notify PagerDuty every
$notify_interval
seconds
- PagerDuty thinks this is a new alert
- PagerDuty Alerts on-call again
Moral: Nagios is the source of truth.
Be Responsible
- Don't ACK something unless you're actively dealing with it
- Schedule an On-call Override or downtime services if you're working on something
Be Responsible
- Understand what a service check does before disregarding - RTFC
- If there is no runbook entry, add it
- Schedule downtime, don't disable notifications

--- layout: newsstory title: FORTRESS GROVE match: Yeltz 2 Newport 0 ---
Back at the ranch, The Yeltz grabbed a much needed 3 points with a 2-0 victory against Newport. A Crisp penalty just before half-time and a second from the gas man just after has left us looking a bit more comfortable in 12th place.
We're due to play Solihull in the Worcester Senior on Wednesday. The Yeltzline didn't mention anything about it, but thanks to everyone who've confirmed that the game is on (played at Redditch)
Next Saturday is the annual visit of our Welsh friends from Merthyr. The Jolly Boys are playing their supporters in the morning before the game, and we'll be hoping for our usual victory in both games :-)

How To Look Hot & Keep It Casual At The Same Time
by Constance KalpakisGirls have it hard. We want to look as good as we feel, but sometimes all we really want is comfort. The key to looking good with absolutely no effort is loungewear. Here’s how to rock a pair of sweats in a fashionable way, making you look put together when in reality you were just lazy.
Add A Pair Of Boots
Sofia Richie gives us a perfect example in how to make sweatpants glam. Throwing a pair of booties like her patent ones upgrade the outfit from going to Trader Joe’s to Nobu.
Add A Blazer
Make sweats look sophisticated by pairing them with a blazer. A groundbreaking way to create a business casual look, while feeling both empowered and comfortable as the same time. Brilliant.
Add A Crop Top
Adding a crop top adds some skin and risqué to the look, making it hot and casual. Tie a graphic tee or pair some lounger tops and you’ll look and feel comfortable all day.
Make It Monochromatic
I don’t know what it is, but when you wear matching colors it just looks like you’re put together. Pair your sweats with a matching top, sweatshirt, or tee and you’re guaranteed to look good. Extra points if you get the shoes to match as well.
Add Designer Drip
If you got it, flaunt it. Make your sweats look like luxury by pairing them with designer brand accessories and apparel. If you’re confused how, just take a quick scroll through Billie Eilish’s Instagram feed and you’ll get the idea.

COPY
action; if it supports data being moved from it,
then it advertises the MOVE
action, and so on.
For Swing components, the source actions are advertised through the
getSourceActions
method.
When a drag is initiated, the user has some control over which of
the source actions is chosen for the transfer by way of keyboard
modifiers used in conjunction with the drag gesture — this is
called the user action.
For example,
the default (where no modifiers are used) generally indicates a move action,
holding the Control key indicates a copy action,
and holding both Shift and Control indicates a linking action.
The user action is available via the
getUserDropAction
method.
The user action indicates a preference, but ultimately it is
the target that decides the drop action.
For example, consider a component that will only accept copied data.
And consider a drag source that supports both copy and move.
The TransferHandler
for the copy-only target can be coded
to only accept data from the source using the
setDropAction
method, even if the user has indicated a preference for a move action.
This work happens in the canImport
method, where the
target's TransferHandler
decides whether to accept
the incoming data. An implementation that explicitly chooses
the COPY
action, if it is supported by the source,
might look like this:
public boolean canImport(TransferHandler.TransferSupport support) { // for the demo, we will only support drops (not clipboard paste) if (!support.isDrop()) { return false; } // we only import Strings if (!support.isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor.stringFlavor)) { return false; } // check if the source actions (a bitwise-OR of supported actions) // contains the COPY action boolean copySupported = (COPY & support.getSourceDropActions()) == COPY; if (copySupported) { support.setDropAction(COPY); return true; } // COPY is not supported, so reject the transfer return false; }
The code snippet displayed in bold shows where the source's supported
drop actions are queried.
If copy is supported, the setDropAction
method is invoked
to ensure that only a copy action will take place and the method returns
true.
Next we will look at a demo that explicitly sets the drop action
using setDropAction
.

Inheritance is a concept from object-oriented databases. It opens up interesting new possibilities of database design.
Let's create two tables: A table cities
and a table capitals
. Naturally, capitals
are also cities, so you want some way to show the capitals
implicitly when you list all cities. If you're really clever you
might invent some scheme like this:
CREATE TABLE capitals ( name text, population real, altitude int, -- (in ft) state char(2) ); CREATE TABLE non_capitals ( name text, population real, altitude int -- (in ft) ); CREATE VIEW cities AS SELECT name, population, altitude FROM capitals UNION SELECT name, population, altitude FROM non_capitals;
This works OK as far as querying goes, but it gets ugly when you need to update several rows, for one thing.
A better solution is this:
CREATE TABLE cities ( name text, population real, altitude int -- (in ft) ); CREATE TABLE capitals ( state char(2) ) INHERITS (cities);
In this case, a row of capitals
inherits all columns (name,
population, and altitude) from its
parent, cities
. The
type of the column name is
text, a native PostgreSQL
type for variable length character strings. State capitals have
an extra column, state, that shows their state. In
PostgreSQL, a table can inherit from
zero or more other tables.
For example, the following query finds the names of all cities, including state capitals, that are located at an altitude over 500 feet:
SELECT name, altitude FROM cities WHERE altitude > 500;
which returns:
name | altitude -----------+---------- Las Vegas | 2174 Mariposa | 1953 Madison | 845 (3 rows)
On the other hand, the following query finds all the cities that are not state capitals and are situated at an altitude of 500 feet or higher:
SELECT name, altitude FROM ONLY cities WHERE altitude > 500;
name | altitude -----------+---------- Las Vegas | 2174 Mariposa | 1953 (2 rows)
Here the ONLY before cities
indicates that the query should be run over only the
cities
table, and not tables below
cities
in the inheritance hierarchy. Many
of the commands that we have already discussed —
SELECT, UPDATE, and
DELETE — support this ONLY
notation.
Note: Although inheritance is frequently useful, it has not been integrated with unique constraints or foreign keys, which limits its usefulness. See Section 5.8 for more detail.


The best way to get involved with the manual is to choose a piece that
is not done. Claim it to make sure no one else is duplicating the
effort by sending a note to the mailing list. When you have a
completed file, or a patch to an existing file, send it to the list so
that Alex or someone else can check it in for you.
Here's a todo list of things you could choose to do. It is in order
from easy and immediate to harder and longer term:
- Add a list of subsections to the table of contents for
at least Configuration.
- Update manual.css to make things more readable, and to make
the HTML easier to write. Most pressing need is <pre> tag
improvements.
- write more tutorials. One that shows how to make a link between two
dtnd's is the next required one. After that, a debugging one would be
good. Also we need one showing a different storage backend.
- write the arch.html page, which will draw heavily on Mike's (and
other people's) paper.
- document one of the commands for the main reference page. You
usually need to read the source to know exactly how things work. This
is critical, because some things do not work like you expect
from their names... typically this a bug, and you can ask someone to
fix it, or document it as-is, if it will take several releases to get a
complete fix done.
- Write more manpages. As of now, only two are done. (When you do
dtnd.8, beware that you'll need to edit the Makefiles a bit, since
they currently assume all manpages are in section 1.)
- Choose the best tool to turn man pages into HTML and arrange
for it to run when you run make.
- choose a documentation markup system (like docbook) and setup a
system to generate .html, .pdf, etc from it. Convert everything that's
done so far into the new system and write a document for manual
writers who come behind you explaining what you did. This is not a
required project, but it might be nice to do. The sooner we do it, the
less work the conversion step will be. But it could never happen and
no harm would come from it.
Another far-out wishlist item is to make anonymous comments on the
bottom of the online version of the manual possible. The effect of the
comments on the bottom of the mySQL online manual is to make it
much much better, both by letting readers point out gotchas they
suffered, and by letting different voices be heard. Getting this
done will involve getting buy-in from Melissa (webmistress
extraordinare). The system should also run in a mode where a
maintainer can nuke comments that are no longer needed when their
content has been rolled into the manual.
 For example:
proc bl {} { puts [ bundle list ]; after 5000 bl }

Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) measures performance only among 15-year-olds who are enrolled in education. PISA 2012 covers 65 countries and economies,including all 34 OECD countries and 31 partner countries and economies. You can hover to check total and sample population on the choropleth map.
What would be the average performance of education system if all students had the OECD-average socio-economic status(ESCS*)?
Most education systems perform similarly before and after accounting for socio-economic status.
- Portugal would perform above the OECD average.
- Turkey’s performance would also improve from below average to average.
- Among the partner economies, Vietnam would markedly improve its rankings.
- Denmark would worsen below the OECD average.
- Iceland's performance would also worsen from above to below to average.

Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT)
Before getting into the details of Virtual Instructor-Led Training, it may be best to explain what Virtual Instructor-Led Training means.
Simply, it is a training method in which a virtual environment is used by a trainer/coach to show, explain and help others learn.
Virtual Training, or also known as Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) takes the fundamentals of face-to-face (F2F) classroom training and repeats the experience through a virtual platform such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom.
Good virtual workshops are super-interactive and engaging. There are multiple opportunities for participants to join in with discussions, share their experiences, practice skills and conversations and ask questions.
Most commonly, virtual workshops are bite-size, running from 60 to 180 minutes and are sometimes combined with other methods of training, F2F or other online elements, such as e-learning or webinars, to create a blended learning programme.
So, what exactly is Virtual Training (VILT)?
Virtual Training, or VILT (Virtual Instructor-Led Training) takes the fundamentals of face-to-face (F2F) training and replicates the experience online and live.- The instructor and participants log into a chosen Virtual Training (VILT) platform (such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom) from different locations.
- The workshop is run live with all learners participating at the same time.
- Virtual workshops are interactive. Everyone joins in on discussions, shares experience, practises conversations and asks questions. They may choose to use a webcam. Quality VILT workshops should be a conversation and not a presentation.
- Virtual workshops are usually bite-size, 60-180 minutes.
- Groups of up to12 participants are typical for a VILT workshop.
- VILT can be combined with F2F training and other approaches, like e-learning or webinars, to create a blended learning programme.

Virtual learning: the future of classroom training
Transitioning to an online space has been shown to give workplace learning the next step forwards and achieves greater accessibility. Certainly, in recent months, this has been proven to be the case many times over, with the world shifting to a more virtual setting.
But what is virtual learning and why is it so popular?
Simply put, Virtual Training is a shared learning experience that is produced through computers and the internet. Training occurs exactly the same as it would in a co-located, physical environment only, the coach and learners are separated from each other.
It is increasingly popular due to its ease of accessibility, its cost-effective nature and the flexibility it affords its learners and adopting organization.
The approach offers a wide range of benefits, that physical classroom training cannot match, such as:-
Enhanced flexibility.
The ability to join training sessions easily and quickly with no commute and no need to attend a physical venue is a great advantage. Running Virtual learning workshops allows learners to return to their daily duties with minimal disruption to their working day is another upside.Accessibility for all.
Training in virtual classrooms allows much greater accessibility for all employees, due to having no physical, centralised location where the training takes place. Anyone with access to a computer and internet connection, can take part in virtual workshops, no matter where they are located.More Inclusivity.
People learn in different ways. The virtual classroom fosters an enhanced capability to facilitate and meet the needs of many, by offering a myriad of ways in which to learn. Vocally, visually, by using colours or video in presentations, the only limit is time and the facilitator’s imagination. Also, those colleagues sited in remote locations get equal access to their development as do those at HQ.Cost Effective.
Once you remove the travel, venue costs, accommodation, and the productivity loss caused by time away from work, training can become much more budget-friendly when undertaken virtually. It renders many of the additional costs associated with providing organisational training obsolete. There is no need for trains, planes and automobiles when the training can take place at your own desk, nor lunches, coffees and we could go on….

Virtual Instructor-Led Training versus Instructor-Led Training
Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) and Instructor-Led Training (ILT) have some things in common. They are both training techniques used to achieve learning transfer with a cohort of participants.
Where they differ is in their delivery mode. VILT takes place ‘live’ entirely online, using a platform, such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom, and allows participants to take part regardless of location, in an office, remotely or nowadays when working from home.
ILT is traditionally conducted in a physical classroom, meeting room or conference space, often with participants who have travelled to a central location in order to attend.
At VTT, we say that VILT offers a major uplift in benefits compared to ILT, such as being more cost effective, more accessible and genuinely inclusive for a wider selection of participants.
Celebrate and Take Advantage of Virtual Instructor-Led Training
Use the following 5 tips to enhance the outcomes of your VILT learning sessions:-
- Have participants turn on their webcams. Creating visual contact is important, allowing facilitators to better connect with their learners.
- Build rapport and trust through real conversation and information sharing. Getting to know participants is key for facilitators especially in a VILT setting. In order to develop this relationship, facilitators need to allow more time for introductions at the beginning of a workshop. Also, being friendly, personable and authentic really adds to outcomes for participants.
- Get expert on the technology before running virtual deliveries on it. Trainers who are fully versed in their platforms are better equipped to deal with occasional technical hiccups and can prevent them from occurring altogether in some cases.
- Encourage the minimisation of distractions. Urge participants to focus their concentration by choosing a dedicated space in which to log in, put other devices on silent and use techniques that create engagement and immersion in the learning from the get-go.
- Be engaging and interactive to uplift participant focus. Designing interesting and involving content will go a long way to keeping participants on task and enhancing the learning transfer.
VILT is a fantastic tool and will become the replacement for ILT. Celebrate the functionality and opportunity available through the platforms, to make your Virtual Training a success.
What are some tips for Virtual Instructor-Led Training?
Turn webcams on
One device per person
Breaks in long sessions
Audio is key
Foster inclusivity
Keep an eye on the time
Polling and Voting
Practice!
Ask for Feedback
Make eye contact
What do your participants see?
Keep a learner log
Bring your personality
It is key to have your camera on as the trainer, but it is also important to give your participants the opportunity to see and interact with each other as well. Body language and facial expressions are an essential part of communication and when available through the virtual medium enhance the experience for all attending.
Check out our blog on how to rock using your camera?
Virtual Training works much better when it is attended by one participant per one device. When each participant joins via their own device the experience is enhanced as is learning transfer and engagement.
For longer sessions, it is worth scheduling in timely breaks, allowing participants to grab a drink or just stretch their legs for a moment. They then return refreshed and ready to continue.
Audio is integral to the success of a virtual workshop, as it is a main tool of communication. Encourage participants to manage their mute, if for example they are dealing with excessive background noise, or feedback.
Make sure that whole group discussions are a part of your engagement during the workshop, some of the best conversations happen when a wider array of people are involved. Keep a log of participants' contributions and encourage equal and regular inputs.
We have noticed that everything seems to take longer in the virtual setting. Consider factoring in extra time for breakout groups, tasks or small group conversations.
Want some extra time tips? Watch our short video - Learn 3 Different Time Tips to Make Your Virtual Workshop Brilliant - for some helpful tips for managing time during a virtual workshop.
Catherine gives you some super Timing Tips to make your virtual workshops brilliant
Give your participants the opportunity to contribute to discussions or display their understanding with the poll function.
This one always goes without saying, but practice is key. The more you practice, the smoother your delivery experience will be.
It is important to ask for feedback on your sessions, especially when first starting out, which can help you to identify the areas of your workshop that are working well and those needing improvement.
Look directly into your camera. This gives your participants the feeling of true eye contact with you and can help to increase connectivity and communication. It’s weird at first, especially if your camera is off to one side of your screen- but you’ll get used to it!
When starting out, it can be worthwhile to test your set-up and practice your delivery with a second device prior to your actual live learning session. This allows you to see what your participants see, as their screen and set up can be different to your own. In order to facilitate a smooth experience, it can be helpful to know how their screen may be displayed.
For many virtual trainers, a learner log is a golden tool. It helps you to remember key pieces of information about participants, from how engaged they have been, to details about them that will help you to encourage their learning on an ongoing basis.
Investigate how to use a learner log in this short video – it will change the way you interact with participants forever.
Catherine teaches you how to use a learner log.
 If you are enjoying yourself, your participants will too.
Check our case study on how we helped a huge biotech company with their Virtual Training
They had already planned to shift 50% of their training delivery to virtual pre-COVID. However, with the appearance of the global pandemic, this goal was accelerated to be 100% virtual by the end of March 2020. So, they contacted the Virtual Training Team, who developed a bespoke Train The Virtual Trainer Programme to suit their needs, helping them build confidence & competence.
What Are The Best Platforms For Virtual Instructor-Led Training?
Choosing the right VILT platform software for your organisation is vitally important. It is key to the success of any Virtual Training programme and your learners' experience, so investing the right time and effort to ensure your chosen platform suits your organizational requirements is a must.
The following are examples of the more widely used and available platforms we have experience of.
Zoom
Zoom is an online audio and web conferencing platform. It can be used to make phone calls, or to participate in video conference meetings.
While there is a basic option that is free, in order to run Virtual Training workshops via the platform, there are a couple of upgrade options, such as Zoom Pro, Zoom Business or Zoom Enterprise. Each of these adds a substantial set of additional features to the solid basic plan, such as the ability to have a conference of more than 100 people at a time, or most importantly, extend a learning session beyond a standard 40 minutes.
It offers a host of tools on the platform like screen sharing, the ability to record, on screen annotations, breakout groups, chat, emojis and most recently in their 5.2 update, the ability to present from your slides like a weather reporter.
It has grown in popularity rapidly in recent months and is a serious contender for Virtual Training due to its wide range of capabilities but also down to it being a reliable, high quality conference tool that is easy to use.
Check out our video on Zoom 5.2 August Update, and let Catherine show you all the cool things you can now achieve.
New Zoom 5.2 August Update! New Features to Liven Up Your Meetings
Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is a communication and collaboration platform that many trainers find easy to use for training purposes. It is also used for video and audio meetings, file and app sharing.
There is a free version, but also two upgrade options with more security and administration facilities which benefit businesses, Office 365 Business Essentials or Office 365 Business Premium.
It offers a wide range of tools such as integrated apps such as Forms or Excel, powerful video conferencing and extensive chat options including GIFs and emojis, and the ability to create side meetings to function as breakout rooms.
It is a regularly updated virtual platform which enables colleagues to communicate effectively from any location.
Cisco WebEx Training Centre
Cisco WebEx Training Centre is an online platform that allows you to deliver live instruction to anyone, anywhere and is widely used by many Virtual Training companies.
It offers high definition video, breakout groups, polling, whiteboards and chat functions as well as the standard video and audio functions.
It is a paid for platform, offering a host of benefits for users, but compared to other, less expensive options can be a little clunky and less user friendly.
Adobe Connect
Adobe Connect can provide a virtual classroom for your Virtual Training. It is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection and works across a range of devices. It is a versatile platform, and while the more expensive of the platform options, offers a large amount for that investment.
Unlimited and customizable meeting rooms, breakout session, standard audio and video conferencing ability, recording capabilities, enhanced whiteboards, chat and polling are amongst the many functions that Adobe Connect can offer.
Once the best platform for your organization has been decided, now it is time to design your training to best fit the platform of choice. A platform could have endless numbers functions , but without a skilled facilitator and a workshop tailored to fit it, they would have little use.
What Are The Benefits Of Virtual Instructor-Led Training?
- Entirely remotely accessible for all and can be offered worldwide. In fact, with some careful planning, most time zones can also be catered for.
- Improved capacity for individualization, training delivery can be organised to different levels, competence, needs and even different learning styles
- Offers a safe and secure learning environment
- Much better flexibility offered in terms of time, location and learner pace
- It’s effective! Cost-effective, time-effective, scalable and creates effective learning transfer!
So that’s the short overview of what makes Virtual Training beneficial to you, but what about some tangible Virtual Training benefits to taking whole training programmes and moving them online?
Flexibility
Accessibility
Application
Virtual Training can be accessed from anywhere where there is internet. This removes the need to coordinate time and travel for multiple participants at once, thus lowering cost, time and the resources needed to ensure a good experience for learners.
Most Virtual Training Programmes disperse their learning material into bite-size chunks. The lack of travel and preparation time results in an ability to train more regularly yet for shorter periods of time. This creates a more effective learning environment because it allows more time in between workshops to digest information, models and approaches learned.
There has never been a more inclusive, accessible way to provide training in an organisation! Wherever your employees are based, remote, homeworker, hot-desking office attendee, nomad worker caravanning in Cairo, Virtual Training offers them all the equal opportunity to attend virtual workshops, learn new skills and up their game.
We find this leads to a much more diverse virtual classroom. Participants who may have struggled to attend a traditional co-located workshop are now easily able to attend live workshops which include, interactive collaboration and discussions with other colleagues. This creates rich, varied conversation which invariably is massively effective, creating insight and deeper understanding of key issues.
Virtual Training is easily integrated into the working day and does not require any travel. This means that participants can apply the skills learned during a virtual workshop immediately into their working environment.
Virtual programs are often delivered through numerous bite-sized workshops which allows participants to practise a succinct number of the tools and techniques as they progress.
This way of learning improves retention and provides an on-the-job application that improves outcomes for learners.

What Are The Top Tips For Designing Effective Virtual Instructor-Led Training?
We know that simply lifting a slide-deck from a face-to-face (F2F) workshop and presenting it in a virtual one just doesn’t deliver the best results.
So, where do you start when building a workshop specifically for virtual delivery?
Well, virtual workshops are bitesize in nature, so choosing the correct content to make time work best for you is critical.
Here are our steps for designing Virtual Instructor-Led Training.
1.Start with the end goal in mind
- What do you want participants to think, feel, do or know as a result of this workshop? It’s an important question.
- A common mistake that designers can make is opening up PowerPoint and thinking, “Right. Slide 1…”
- How can you know what to include if you haven’t carefully considered the desired outcome of the workshop as a whole?
- Starting with the result you are looking to achieve and then working back from there makes it much easier to edit and decide on content and process, so then everything is focused on achieving that result.
Brainstorm Content Early
- What are your key messages that you want participants to take away from your session? What key skills, models or processes might you include?
- If you are converting something that already exists F2F into a virtual workshop, then you will have some content to begin with.
- Take the time to really consider what could be included over what already exists. Making the most of this step gives you the opportunity to refresh content too and make it successfully work for the virtual environment.
- Even if you are designing from scratch, this step is still important. Get creative and think about what you know that could be useful to help achieve the result you’re aiming for. Don’t worry though, you won’t include it all, it just helps to create a smorgasbord of different ideas to choose from.

Decide on your content
- In this step, you’ve got to be ruthless. Decide on what must stay in and what can and needs to be dropped.
- Come back to the purpose of your virtual workshop. If there is content or processes that don’t move your learners towards that outcome, then don’t use it.
- Everything takes a little bit longer in the virtual environment compared to F2F, so be sure to consider how much time you have got.
- Virtual workshops are often best delivered in bite-sized format - somewhere between 90 mins and 2 hours. It is often worth considering delivering two separate workshops that give you time to explore what you need to, without being rushed, rather than having everything crammed into a single one.
Work out your processes
- How will each section of content be achieved? What processes, materials and activities will deliver this gig (we call each section of a training workshop a ‘gig’) in the most efficient way? Here is where you can work out your timings.
- Ideally, you want variety in your approaches, but still with purpose. Consider best practice for each model and how it feeds back into your purpose.
Check our case study on how we helped to design a virtual global vision and values programme.
An engineering consultancy wanted to deliver results through their people on a global scale with training available to all. VTT designed interactive virtual workshops focused on vision and values for managers and also provided supporting materials.
Bring your content to life
- Here you can ask yourself what stories, examples, imagery, or science will add appropriate flair to each section?
- This is about the extra flair that makes your content interesting, memorable, and fun. You may decide to start investigating stock photos to use or research some case studies/examples that bring your content to life and land your point.
- Remember, flair and fun can still be achieved alongside your purpose.
Link it all together
- Think about sequencing. It’s time to double check your timings and order. Decide what needs to be said to link each section to the next and fuel the overall purpose of your virtual workshop.
- Examine the whole flow of your workshop. How does it feel?
- It can also be helpful to consider alternative options for different groups or if there are timing issues here. Where can cuts be made? Where is your flex?
Create the introduction
- One of the last things to do is to consider how you will kick off your virtual workshop. You want to get people invested and engaged quickly.
- What will go on your welcome slide? How will you grab the attention of the participants as they enter the session, to get them thinking and interacting with the tech immediately?
- Your welcome slide is the opportunity to begin creating context for the participants and getting them into the zone of the topic at hand. Putting the thought in and really considering how to get things started, can ensure your virtual workshop gets off on the right foot.
Create the slides and materials
- Finally, you can go to PowerPoint. It’s time to pull everything together into a seamless, flowing, simple to follow, slide-deck with extra materials.
- You shouldn’t be going to PowerPoint any earlier than this!

spawn_alerter_process
(alert, metric, second_order_resolution_seconds, context)[source]¶ Spawn a process to trigger an alert. This is used by smtp alerters so that matplotlib objects are cleared down and the alerter cannot create a memory leak in this manner and plt.savefig keeps the object in memory until the process terminates. Seeing as data is being surfaced and processed in the alert_smtp context, multiprocessing the alert creation and handling prevents any memory leaks in the parent. # @added 20160814 - Bug #1558: Memory leak in Analyzer # Issue #21 Memory leak in Analyzer # https://github.com/earthgecko/skyline/issues/21

skyline.mirage.mirage_algorithms module¶
-
tail_avg
(timeseries, second_order_resolution_seconds)[source]¶ This is a utility function used to calculate the average of the last three datapoints in the series as a measure, instead of just the last datapoint. It reduces noise, but it also reduces sensitivity and increases the delay to detection.
-
median_absolute_deviation
(timeseries, second_order_resolution_seconds)[source]¶ A timeseries is anomalous if the deviation of its latest datapoint with respect to the median is X times larger than the median of deviations.
-
grubbs
(timeseries, second_order_resolution_seconds)[source]¶ A timeseries is anomalous if the Z score is greater than the Grubb’s score.
-
first_hour_average
(timeseries, second_order_resolution_seconds)[source]¶ Calcuate the simple average over one hour, second order resolution seconds ago. A timeseries is anomalous if the average of the last three datapoints are outside of three standard deviations of this value.
-
stddev_from_average
(timeseries, second_order_resolution_seconds)[source]¶ A timeseries is anomalous if the absolute value of the average of the latest three datapoint minus the moving average is greater than three standard deviations of the average. This does not exponentially weight the MA and so is better for detecting anomalies with respect to the entire series.
-
stddev_from_moving_average
(timeseries, second_order_resolution_seconds)[source]¶ A timeseries is anomalous if the absolute value of the average of the latest three datapoint minus the moving average is greater than three standard deviations of the moving average. This is better for finding anomalies with respect to the short term trends.
-
mean_subtraction_cumulation
(timeseries, second_order_resolution_seconds)[source]¶ A timeseries is anomalous if the value of the next datapoint in the series is farther than three standard deviations out in cumulative terms after subtracting the mean from each data point.
-
least_squares
(timeseries, second_order_resolution_seconds)[source]¶ A timeseries is anomalous if the average of the last three datapoints on a projected least squares model is greater than three sigma.
-
histogram_bins
(timeseries, second_order_resolution_seconds)[source]¶ A timeseries is anomalous if the average of the last three datapoints falls into a histogram bin with less than 20 other datapoints (you’ll need to tweak that number depending on your data)
Returns: the size of the bin which contains the tail_avg. Smaller bin size means more anomalous.
-
ks_test
(timeseries, second_order_resolution_seconds)[source]¶ A timeseries is anomalous if 2 sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test indicates that data distribution for last 10 minutes is different from last hour. It produces false positives on non-stationary series so Augmented Dickey-Fuller test applied to check for stationarity.
-
get_function_name
()[source]¶ This is a utility function is used to determine what algorithm is reporting an algorithm error when the record_algorithm_error is used.
-
record_algorithm_error
(algorithm_name, traceback_format_exc_string)[source]¶ This utility function is used to facilitate the traceback from any algorithm errors. The algorithm functions themselves we want to run super fast and without fail in terms of stopping the function returning and not reporting anything to the log, so the pythonic except is used to “sample” any algorithm errors to a tmp file and report once per run rather than spewing tons of errors into the log.
Note
- algorithm errors tmp file clean up
the algorithm error tmp files are handled and cleaned up in
Analyzer
after all the spawned processes are completed.
- Parameters
algorithm_name (str) – the algoritm function name
traceback_format_exc_string (str) – the traceback_format_exc string
- Returns
True
the error string was written to the algorithm_error_fileFalse
the error string was not written to the algorithm_error_file
- Return type
boolean
-
negatives_present
(timeseries)[source]¶ Determine if there are negative number present in a time series

Campaign announced to help replace trees damaged by post-tropical storm Dorian
by The Canadian Press, StaffHALIFAX -- A non-profit organization is mounting a $500,000 funding campaign to help plant trees in municipalities across Atlantic Canada that suffered damage from post-tropical storm Dorian in September.
Tree Canada, a national charity, announced the campaign known as #OperationReLeaf, today in Halifax.
CEO Danielle St-Aubin says once the money is raised, homeowners, private landowners, and institutions who want to plant a tree can apply for grants to help purchase them.
St-Aubin stresses the storm damage is still being assessed, and the campaign funding target is an early estimate.
The first funding operation by the organization was launched following 1996 floods in Saguenay, Que.
Since then, Tree Canada says it has helped plant more than 82 million trees across the country.
"We're raising the money now to be able to help them (Atlantic Canada) later on in the year, probably starting next spring or summer," St-Aubin said Wednesday.
She said Tree Canada helps to fill a gap, as most municipalities are busy dealing with tree damage on municipal property.
"They're swamped ... so what we do is really help private landowners with their needs by giving them these grants."
St-Aubin said her organization works with municipalities to plant the tree species they want, ensuring that the "right tree is in the right place."
Other campaigns have seen trees planted following the 2016 wildfires in Fort McMurray, Alta., and last year's tornadoes in the Ottawa area.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 13, 2019.

JavaScript Objects vs Ruby Hashes
Creating and Accessing JavaScript Objects
Similar to Ruby, in JavaScript (JS) almost "everything" is an object. A JS object is an unordered collection (container) of variables, which are named values called object properties. Objects in JS can contain single values or multiple values, and properties can be both *primitive values, other objects, and even functions. So JS objects can act as containers for named values, called properties, and **methods. In JS you can define and create your own objects, and there are three different ways you can do this. See these in action below, and their explanations are below the snippet. You can also see in the examples that you use a semi-colon to end a statement in JS:
Object Literal is the easiest way to create a JS object because you can both define and create an object with just one statement. It is a list of name:value pairs inside curly braces as seen above. So you can see that there is no need to use the keyword new Object() for the reasons of simplicity, readability, and execution speed. Finally, using an Object Constructor is the standard way to create an "object type", and using an "object type" allows us to create multiple objects of this type. Now you'll want to access them, and there are two ways you can access object properties in JavaScript, using dot notation and bracket notation, as seen below:
Creating and Accessing Ruby Hashes
Ruby Hashes are an easy way to represent unordered collections of data in the form of unique key and value pairs. They are often used to have named arguments/parameters in ruby methods/functions. Hashes enumerate their values in the order that the corresponding keys were given, contained in curly brackets. You can create a hash through its new method, hashname = Hash.new. Or a hash can be simply created by using its implicit form, as seen below.
You can also use an alternate style of syntax when your hash keys are always symbols, seen below: To access a value in a Ruby hash, you use its key as seen in the examples above and below. You'll notice that in Ruby, you can only use brackets to access a value in a hash(check out the comments!).
*Primitive values are strings ("hello"), numbers (2.6), true, false, null, and undefined.
**JS methods are actions that can be performed on objects, so an object method is an object property containing a function definition.
***Ruby comments are # and JavaScript Ccomments are // in snippets shown.

BOYS ON THE SIDE A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1995 Mark R. Leeper
Capsule: This is a road picture that runs out of gas toward the middle, then takes a turn toward familiar territory. Three very different women have an interrupted journey together across country and learn to love each other as they bond. The film often seems artificial, but it does have some good comic touches and some expected moments of warmth. Rating: low 1 (-4 to +4) [Minor spoilers.]
In SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, the characters talk about "chicks' films." There they mean romance, but there is something else that is much more a chick's film. There is a whole sub-genre of films like RICH AND FAMOUS, BEACHES, STEEL MAGNOLIAS, and TERMS OF ENDEARMENT. They are bittersweet explorations of women bonding with each other through good times and bad, often to the beautiful and lush strains of a score by Georges Delerue. [His title theme for RICH AND FAMOUS is one of the most beautiful film themes I know.] Delerue died in 1992, sadly, but the kind of films he scored go on with the latest entry being BOYS ON THE SIDE.
Actually BOYS ON THE SIDE begins atypically for a women's picture with two very different women sharing a cross-country ride. Jane (Whoopi Goldberg) is a crude club singer who makes racist comments and tells cab drivers to go back to Pakistan. Robin (Mary-Louise Parker) appears to be a slightly ditzy real estate broker with a penchant for banal Carpenters songs. Along the way they pick up Holly (Drew Barrymore), the girlfriend-victim of an extremely obnoxious drug-dealer and junkie. While there is an initial tension between Jane and Robin, of course women of goodwill always learn to respect each other eventually.
Curiously, near the middle the film seems to run out of steam and its apparent whole reason to be. Suddenly it is no longer a road film and the plot, after a short section of aimlessness, goes off in another direction. In an almost artificial manner the major women, and even some of the minor, get to show both positive and negative traits. It is better than painting them as saints, but it appears to be just a bit too deliberate. Overall, however, the film plays it safe, pushing the right buttons and espousing the right causes. Director Herbert Ross knows his audience a little too well.
Whoopi Goldberg is obviously winning as an actress, but her acting range has always seemed to me to be very limited. She has a more restrained performance in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," and Steven Spielberg definitely got her to act in THE COLOR PURPLE, but she and most of her directors are content to let her play the same character time after time. In BOYS ON THE SIDE she is playing a woman with a personality almost identical to the one in JUMPING JACK FLASH or SISTER ACT. This is a film in which she could have shown some real dramatic range, if nothing else as an investment in her own career. The meatiest part in the film actually is Mary-Louise Parker's and while her role is not as flamboyant as is Goldberg's--in fact it appears very unpromising at the beginning of the film--she makes much better use of opportunities the story affords her. We see more different facets of her personality and even of Barrymores's than of Goldberg's.
After a promising start this film gives us little besides a few nuances in Parker's character that we have not seen better elsewhere. Rating: low +1 on the -4 to +4 scale.

by HarigovindWelcome to FOX Sports Asia’s Daily Roundup of the SEA Games 2019, where will be highlighting the key events of each day at the 30th edition of the South-East Asian Games hosted by the Philippines.
Today was Day 9 of the SEA Games 2019, and it began with the Philippines winning the first-ever gold medal in the Esports event in the history of the SEA Games, beating Indonesia 3-2 in a hotly contested finale.
The feat was accomplished by the Philippines’ Mobile Legends: Bang Bang team on Sunday, who climbed their way up from the lower bracket playoffs to finish at the top of the podium in the SEA Games 2019.
ABS-CBN News reported that Kenneth Jiane “Kenji” Villa, Karl Gabriel Carlito “Ribo” Ribo, Jeniel “Haze” Bata-anon, Angelo Kyle “Pheww” Arcangel, “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno, Allan Sancio “Lusty” Castromayor, and Jason Rafael “Jay” Torculas are the individuals to do the job for the Philippines and bring home the gold medal.
In the afternoon, Indonesia star athlete and SEA Games great Maria Natalia Londa dropped a retirement hint after winning her sixth career gold medal at the SEA Games 2019.
“I have counted. This is my sixth SEA Games, and [the gold] was my [SEA Games’] 12th medal. I see my run here as my last, but I don’t know, it really depends on PASI [the Indonesian Athletics Association], though,” Maria said after her win.
Later, Singapore swimmer Amanda Lim set a new personal best for the first time in around ten years, finishing the race in 25.06 seconds, ahead of Thailand’s Jenjira Srisa-Ard (25.32 seconds) and Jasmine Alkhaldi (25.48 seconds) of the Philippines. The time set by Lim has also been declared as a SEA Games record, as she qualified for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 as well.
After winning the gold medal, Lim said: “My previous best was 25.3 and I haven’t done a PB in like 10 years.”
“The SEA Games is always something pretty special to me. Made my first team when I was 14 years old, and here I am standing at 26 and still going for it,” she signed off.
In the evening, Philippines athlete Jamie Lim won the gold medal in Karate at the SEA Games 2019, held at the World Trade Center in Manila, the Philippines on Monday.
What makes Lim’s win all the more special, is the fact that she returned from a four-year academic break only five months ago, and the SEA Games 2019 is her first major tournament since the year 2015.
Last June, she graduated from the Philippines College of Science after finishing her degree in Mathematics, and on Monday, she defeated Indonesia’s Ceyco Zefanya, 2-1, in the finals of the women’s +61kg kumite in karate to secure what was the Philippines’ second gold medal in karate at the SEA Games 2019.
Later in the day, the Philippines also achieved a historic milestone, as they bagged their 113th and 114th gold medal at this year’s event and crossing their previous best of 112. Eventually, they also bested their own overall numbers from the SEA Games held in 2005, when they had won 290 medals in total.
At the end of Day 9, the Philippines had won 320 medals overall – including 128 gold, 93 silver and 99 bronze – in the SEA Games 2019.
