Chairman's Message
In 2013, the monetary policies pursued by developed countries’ central Banks continued to have a decisive impact on global financial markets, as in previous years. The US economy has progressed to a stronger position, while despite some glimmers of hope from the Euro-zone, economic activity in the continent remains weak. High unemployment rates, as well as difficulties in the loan transfer mechanism are the main challenges facing the Euro-zone’s economic outlook.
Expansionary monetary policies, which were applied by main central banks in an effort to prevent a deepening of the global economic crisis, are expected to be wound down once economic activity recovers. As a matter of fact, the Fed gave the first signals of this by tapering the size of the bond-buying program.
Even though the liquidity pumped in to the economy is to be reduced slightly, the low-interest rate stance will be maintained for some time yet.
In the medium to long run, we could see interest rate hikes as central banks grapple with the inflationary pressures brought about by the applied expansionary monetary policies. However, provided there are no threats on the inflationary front, keeping interest rates low would be a rational strategy in supporting global economic activity.
As a result of this new change in direction initiated by the US, there was some volatility in global risk appetite since the second quarter of the year, which has been reflected to emerging markets in the form of instability in short-term capital flows.
In the post- crisis period, there was something of a slowdown in the growth momentum in emerging markets, which are the driving force of the global economy. In the global arena, all financial assets have been repriced, emerging markets have seen their currencies depreciate and bond rates have increased. Even though questions still remain over how many years it will take, there will be a gradual shift from the global environment of abundant and cheap liquidity to one of contracting government balance sheets.
The pioneer of banking in Turkey, Ziraat Bank's approach to effective and productive balance sheet management continued to support its sound growth and development in 2013.
Monetary policies being adhered to by developed countries' central banks continued to determine the course of global financial markets in 2013.
Successful and disciplined fiscal management gives our country a significant advantage in coping with external-factor fragilities.
Celebrating the 150th anniversary of its founding, 2013 was a special year for Ziraat Bank.
In an effort to ensure a smooth landing for the Turkish economy, and to engender a more healthy and balanced structure, a number of measures were applied in Turkey in the previous year, paving the way for a sound performance in 2013 as well. Economic growth gained pace in 2013 and domestic-demand driven growth dynamics were observed, which shaped the economic policies applied by the Central Bank and other authorities responsible for the economy. However, domestic demand driven growth exposed the pressure on the current account deficit and inflation. Besides, mounting uncertainty over global monetary policies from the second half of 2013 precipitated a wave of capital out-flows from emerging markets, including Turkey. The weakness in global economic growth and volatility in risk appetite in the financial markets will remain key risks in the upcoming period.
Towards the end of the year, the depreciation in the TL and hikes in interest rates started to have a small impact on macroeconomic data. In particular, the depreciation of the TL caused inflation to exceed projections. Fluctuations in unprocessed food prices during the year also affected inflation, which ended the year at an annual rate of 7.4%.
During periods of increased fluctuations in short-term capital movements, the balance of payments statistics becomes one of the closely monitored macroeconomic variables. A combination of buoyant economic activity and a hike in import demand worsened the current account deficit in 2013. The current account deficit as a ratio of GDP exceeded the level that was projected in the medium term program. In the coming period, however, the current account deficit is expected to narrow on the back of slowing economic activity, decreasing import demand and a positive contribution of exports thanks to the continued recovery in Euro-zone economies.
Taking into account the vulnerabilities caused by external factors, we can conclude that Turkey stands out with its advantageous position and successful and disciplined fiscal management. The 2014 budget and Medium-Term Program demonstrate that there will be no deviation from the successful fiscal policies that have been applied.
The Central Bank of Turkey has continuously applied monetary policies aimed at limiting fluctuations in the TL, preventing possible speculation in the TL and easing any deterioration in inflationary expectations.
The Turkish banking sector maintains its stable and healthy growth. The annual rate of growth in the combined balance sheet of the sector reached 26%, while the continued growth in loans stands as an indicator of the support extended to the real sector. The sector continues to support the economy through its high-quality assets and liabilities structure and sound equity level.
As the pioneer in the banking sector, Ziraat Bank maintained its healthy development in 2013, thanks to its efficient and effective balance sheet management approach. The year 2013 has been a special one for our Bank, marked by the celebrations of its 150th anniversary. In view of Ziraat Bank’s value-adding innovation around the principle of “Together, to a Better Future” and the significant progress it has taken towards its transformation, as well as its presence as a pioneering bank for the agricultural sector in its 150th year of its operation, the Bank will sustain its vision of “being everybody’s bank”. Our Bank, which has maintained a devotion to social responsibility for 150 years and which adds value to the economy, is rapidly becoming brand well-known throughout the world.

Flask Changelog
Here you can see the full list of changes between each Flask release.
Version 0.10
Release date to be decided.
- Changed default cookie serialization format from pickle to JSON to
limit the impact an attacker can do if the secret key leaks. See
Version 0.10 for more information.
- Added template_test methods in addition to the already existing
template_filter method family.
- Set the content-length header for x-sendfile.
- tojson filter now does not escape script blocks in HTML5 parsers.
Version 0.9
Released on July 1st 2012, codename Campari.
- The flask.Request.on_json_loading_failed() now returns a JSON formatted
response by default.
- The flask.url_for() function now can generate anchors to the
generated links.
- The flask.url_for() function now can also explicitly generate
URL rules specific to a given HTTP method.
- Logger now only returns the debug log setting if it was not set
explicitly.
- Unregister a circular dependency between the WSGI environment and
the request object when shutting down the request. This means that
environ werkzeug.request will be None after the response was
returned to the WSGI server but has the advantage that the garbage
collector is not needed on CPython to tear down the request unless
the user created circular dependencies themselves.
- Session is now stored after callbacks so that if the session payload
is stored in the session you can still modify it in an after
request callback.
- The flask.Flask class will avoid importing the provided import name
if it can (the required first parameter), to benefit tools which build Flask
instances programmatically. The Flask class will fall back to using import
on systems with custom module hooks, e.g. Google App Engine, or when the
import name is inside a zip archive (usually a .egg) prior to Python 2.7.
- Blueprints now have a decorator to add custom template filters application
wide, flask.Blueprint.app_template_filter().
- The Flask and Blueprint classes now have a non-decorator method for adding
custom template filters application wide,
flask.Flask.add_template_filter() and
flask.Blueprint.add_app_template_filter().
- The flask.get_flashed_messages() function now allows rendering flashed
message categories in separate blocks, through a category_filter
argument.
- The flask.Flask.run() method now accepts None for host and port
arguments, using default values when None. This allows for calling run
using configuration values, e.g. app.run(app.config.get('MYHOST'),
app.config.get('MYPORT')), with proper behavior whether or not a config
file is provided.
- The flask.render_template() method now accepts a either an iterable of
template names or a single template name. Previously, it only accepted a
single template name. On an iterable, the first template found is rendered.
- Added flask.Flask.app_context() which works very similar to the
request context but only provides access to the current application. This
also adds support for URL generation without an active request context.
- View functions can now return a tuple with the first instance being an
instance of flask.Response. This allows for returning
jsonify(error="error msg"), 400 from a view function.
- Flask and Blueprint now provide a
get_send_file_max_age() hook for subclasses to override
behavior of serving static files from Flask when using
flask.Flask.send_static_file() (used for the default static file
handler) and send_file(). This hook is provided a
filename, which for example allows changing cache controls by file extension.
The default max-age for send_file and static files can be configured
through a new SEND_FILE_MAX_AGE_DEFAULT configuration variable, which is
used in the default get_send_file_max_age implementation.
- Fixed an assumption in sessions implementation which could break message
flashing on sessions implementations which use external storage.
- Changed the behavior of tuple return values from functions. They are no
longer arguments to the response object, they now have a defined meaning.
- Added flask.Flask.request_globals_class to allow a specific class to
be used on creation of the g instance of each request.
- Added required_methods attribute to view functions to force-add methods
on registration.
- Added flask.after_this_request().
- Added flask.stream_with_context() and the ability to push contexts
multiple times without producing unexpected behavior.
Version 0.8.1
Bugfix release, released on July 1st 2012
- Fixed an issue with the undocumented flask.session module to not
work properly on Python 2.5. It should not be used but did cause
some problems for package managers.
Version 0.8
Released on September 29th 2011, codename Rakija
- Refactored session support into a session interface so that
the implementation of the sessions can be changed without
having to override the Flask class.
- Empty session cookies are now deleted properly automatically.
- View functions can now opt out of getting the automatic
OPTIONS implementation.
- HTTP exceptions and Bad Request errors can now be trapped so that they
show up normally in the traceback.
- Flask in debug mode is now detecting some common problems and tries to
warn you about them.
- Flask in debug mode will now complain with an assertion error if a view
was attached after the first request was handled. This gives earlier
feedback when users forget to import view code ahead of time.
- Added the ability to register callbacks that are only triggered once at
the beginning of the first request. (Flask.before_first_request())
- Malformed JSON data will now trigger a bad request HTTP exception instead
of a value error which usually would result in a 500 internal server
error if not handled. This is a backwards incompatible change.
- Applications now not only have a root path where the resources and modules
are located but also an instance path which is the designated place to
drop files that are modified at runtime (uploads etc.). Also this is
conceptionally only instance depending and outside version control so it’s
the perfect place to put configuration files etc. For more information
see Instance Folders.
- Added the APPLICATION_ROOT configuration variable.
- Implemented session_transaction() to
easily modify sessions from the test environment.
- Refactored test client internally. The APPLICATION_ROOT configuration
variable as well as SERVER_NAME are now properly used by the test client
as defaults.
- Added flask.views.View.decorators to support simpler decorating of
pluggable (class-based) views.
- Fixed an issue where the test client if used with the “with” statement did not
trigger the execution of the teardown handlers.
- Added finer control over the session cookie parameters.
- HEAD requests to a method view now automatically dispatch to the get
method if no handler was implemented.
- Implemented the virtual flask.ext package to import extensions from.
- The context preservation on exceptions is now an integral component of
Flask itself and no longer of the test client. This cleaned up some
internal logic and lowers the odds of runaway request contexts in unittests.
Version 0.7.3
Bugfix release, release date to be decided
- Fixed the Jinja2 environment’s list_templates method not returning the
correct names when blueprints or modules were involved.
Version 0.7.2
Bugfix release, released on July 6th 2011
- Fixed an issue with URL processors not properly working on
blueprints.
Version 0.7.1
Bugfix release, released on June 29th 2011
- Added missing future import that broke 2.5 compatibility.
- Fixed an infinite redirect issue with blueprints.
Version 0.7
Released on June 28th 2011, codename Grappa
- Added make_default_options_response()
which can be used by subclasses to alter the default
behavior for OPTIONS responses.
- Unbound locals now raise a proper RuntimeError instead
of an AttributeError.
- Mimetype guessing and etag support based on file objects is now
deprecated for flask.send_file() because it was unreliable.
Pass filenames instead or attach your own etags and provide a
proper mimetype by hand.
- Static file handling for modules now requires the name of the
static folder to be supplied explicitly. The previous autodetection
was not reliable and caused issues on Google’s App Engine. Until
1.0 the old behavior will continue to work but issue dependency
warnings.
- fixed a problem for Flask to run on jython.
- added a PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS configuration variable that can be
used to flip the setting of exception propagation which previously
was linked to DEBUG alone and is now linked to either DEBUG or
TESTING.
- Flask no longer internally depends on rules being added through the
add_url_rule function and can now also accept regular werkzeug
rules added to the url map.
- Added an endpoint method to the flask application object which
allows one to register a callback to an arbitrary endpoint with
a decorator.
- Use Last-Modified for static file sending instead of Date which
was incorrectly introduced in 0.6.
- Added create_jinja_loader to override the loader creation process.
- Implemented a silent flag for config.from_pyfile.
- Added teardown_request decorator, for functions that should run at the end
of a request regardless of whether an exception occurred. Also the behavior
for after_request was changed. It’s now no longer executed when an exception
is raised. See Upgrading to new Teardown Handling
- Implemented flask.has_request_context()
- Deprecated init_jinja_globals. Override the
create_jinja_environment() method instead to
achieve the same functionality.
- Added flask.safe_join()
- The automatic JSON request data unpacking now looks at the charset
mimetype parameter.
- Don’t modify the session on flask.get_flashed_messages() if there
are no messages in the session.
- before_request handlers are now able to abort requests with errors.
- it is not possible to define user exception handlers. That way you can
provide custom error messages from a central hub for certain errors that
might occur during request processing (for instance database connection
errors, timeouts from remote resources etc.).
- Blueprints can provide blueprint specific error handlers.
- Implemented generic Pluggable Views (class-based views).
Version 0.6.1
Bugfix release, released on December 31st 2010
- Fixed an issue where the default OPTIONS response was
not exposing all valid methods in the Allow header.
- Jinja2 template loading syntax now allows ”./” in front of
a template load path. Previously this caused issues with
module setups.
- Fixed an issue where the subdomain setting for modules was
ignored for the static folder.
- Fixed a security problem that allowed clients to download arbitrary files
if the host server was a windows based operating system and the client
uses backslashes to escape the directory the files where exposed from.
Version 0.6
Released on July 27th 2010, codename Whisky
- after request functions are now called in reverse order of
registration.
- OPTIONS is now automatically implemented by Flask unless the
application explicitly adds ‘OPTIONS’ as method to the URL rule.
In this case no automatic OPTIONS handling kicks in.
- static rules are now even in place if there is no static folder
for the module. This was implemented to aid GAE which will
remove the static folder if it’s part of a mapping in the .yml
file.
- the config is now available in the templates
as config.
- context processors will no longer override values passed directly
to the render function.
- added the ability to limit the incoming request data with the
new MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH configuration value.
- the endpoint for the flask.Module.add_url_rule() method
is now optional to be consistent with the function of the
same name on the application object.
- added a flask.make_response() function that simplifies
creating response object instances in views.
- added signalling support based on blinker. This feature is currently
optional and supposed to be used by extensions and applications. If
you want to use it, make sure to have blinker installed.
- refactored the way URL adapters are created. This process is now
fully customizable with the create_url_adapter()
method.
- modules can now register for a subdomain instead of just an URL
prefix. This makes it possible to bind a whole module to a
configurable subdomain.
Version 0.5.2
Bugfix Release, released on July 15th 2010
- fixed another issue with loading templates from directories when
modules were used.
Version 0.5.1
Bugfix Release, released on July 6th 2010
- fixes an issue with template loading from directories when modules
where used.
Version 0.5
Released on July 6th 2010, codename Calvados
- fixed a bug with subdomains that was caused by the inability to
specify the server name. The server name can now be set with
the SERVER_NAME config key. This key is now also used to set
the session cookie cross-subdomain wide.
- autoescaping is no longer active for all templates. Instead it
is only active for .html, .htm, .xml and .xhtml.
Inside templates this behavior can be changed with the
autoescape tag.
- refactored Flask internally. It now consists of more than a
single file.
- flask.send_file() now emits etags and has the ability to
do conditional responses builtin.
- (temporarily) dropped support for zipped applications. This was a
rarely used feature and led to some confusing behavior.
- added support for per-package template and static-file directories.
- removed support for create_jinja_loader which is no longer used
in 0.5 due to the improved module support.
- added a helper function to expose files from any directory.
Version 0.4
Released on June 18th 2010, codename Rakia
- added the ability to register application wide error handlers
from modules.
- after_request() handlers are now also invoked
if the request dies with an exception and an error handling page
kicks in.
- test client has not the ability to preserve the request context
for a little longer. This can also be used to trigger custom
requests that do not pop the request stack for testing.
- because the Python standard library caches loggers, the name of
the logger is configurable now to better support unittests.
- added TESTING switch that can activate unittesting helpers.
- the logger switches to DEBUG mode now if debug is enabled.
Version 0.3.1
Bugfix release, released on May 28th 2010
- fixed a error reporting bug with flask.Config.from_envvar()
- removed some unused code from flask
- release does no longer include development leftover files (.git
folder for themes, built documentation in zip and pdf file and
some .pyc files)
Version 0.3
Released on May 28th 2010, codename Schnaps
- added support for categories for flashed messages.
- the application now configures a logging.Handler and will
log request handling exceptions to that logger when not in debug
mode. This makes it possible to receive mails on server errors
for example.
- added support for context binding that does not require the use of
the with statement for playing in the console.
- the request context is now available within the with statement making
it possible to further push the request context or pop it.
- added support for configurations.
Version 0.2
Released on May 12th 2010, codename Jägermeister
- various bugfixes
- integrated JSON support
- added get_template_attribute() helper function.
- add_url_rule() can now also register a
view function.
- refactored internal request dispatching.
- server listens on <IP_ADDRESS> by default now to fix issues with chrome.
- added external URL support.
- added support for send_file()
- module support and internal request handling refactoring
to better support pluggable applications.
- sessions can be set to be permanent now on a per-session basis.
- better error reporting on missing secret keys.
- added support for Google Appengine.
Version 0.1
First public preview release.


About three years back, I had posted some tips for job applicants on my old blog, which I am reposting here for convenience.
After having been on search committees yet again, I am compelled to write up some additional thoughts. The tips in the earlier post are still valid. This time, I may be a bit more pointed and direct about just a few items.
interview etiquette - thank you notes
I know that no one really gets consistent instructions about interview etiquette anymore. Thank you notes after an interview are not an enormous factor in the process, and some candidates may find it a bit forced to write them after a brief interaction. But I am here to say this: if you want the job, write a thank you note. A quick and short e-mail will do. You don’t have to compose witty ripostes to every member of the search committee: a single note to the committee chair serves the function.
Why does this matter? The most important factor is that someone who does not write a note may look like they have lost interest in the position after the interview. Certainly, they will be disadvantaged in comparison to someone who expresses effusive interest. Of course the thank you note is also an opportunity to demonstrate politesse, collegiality, and the “soft skills” that are so prized. Although it won’t kill your chances not to do it, just write the thank you. It will only help you.
Once you have mastered this basic step, you can work your way towards more elegant and thoughtful expression. Some people are really good at thank you notes.
interview process
It is understandable that the candidate would like to know where they stand, as much as possible, at every step along the way. However, contacting the search committee or hiring institution HR is not likely to yield any useful information. Why is that? Let’s work through a decision tree.
If you have not been contacted for any interview after some reasonable amount of time (perhaps the position had a “review by” date in the posting), it means that you are not in the group of finalists. You will likely receive a rejection more quickly if you did not meet the minimum qualifications. You may receive a somewhat later rejection if a sufficient pool of potential finalists has been identified (that did not include you). If you have not received a rejection, it is actually good news in that your candidacy is still being held in reserve in case others don’t work out. If you ask for a premature answer, you may provoke a “no”.
If you have been called for a screening interview, it means that you are one of a limited number of finalists that met the qualifications and impressed the search committee, and have a shot at the position. If you had a screening interview, and weren’t called back for a more extensive interview, it means that you weren’t among those selected to advance. However, if you haven’t been rejected, it means that the hiring of a finalist has not been completed. If it is necessary to go back to the pool again, you may be one of the first called back. Just like in the previous paragraph, asking for a definitive answer may turn your “probably no, but maybe yes” into a “no” if you need certainty.
If you did advance to a full interview, but didn’t hear back after some time, the situation is very similar to that described above. It is fine to gently inquire about the search, but the most likely situation is that one of the other finalists was selected to get the first offer. Here patience is advised. At the final stage of search, it is not at all unlikely that the favored candidate might be entertaining other offers, might have other personal circumstances impacting their decision, or simply might be unimpressed by what the hiring institution has to offer after the longer encounter. If the hiring insitution offers, then gets declined by the first candidate, it is likely that one of the other finalists may get an offer. So don’t burn any bridges at this stage.
If you have another legitimate job offer, it is fine to let the hiring institution know that if you didn’t get a decision by a certain date, you would take the other offer. This is unlikely to change anything, but might in some cases encourage the hiring institution to speed up its decision-making just a tad.
The bottom line is that anyone who has not received an outright rejection notice still has some shot at the position, but if you have waited long and not advanced far in the interview process, it is less likely.
Because no one can discuss the reasons for selecting a specific individual, you won’t get much information from an inquiry, but what I’ve described above is probably what is happening behind the scenes. So much is about the individual match between candidate and institution that it is best not to worry about what one could have done better to secure the position, with the exception of what I am going to talk about next.
DEI
My advice in this section may seem simple and obvious, but judging by the behavior of applicants, apparently it is not. The applicant should address all of the requirements for the position, preferably in the cover letter. Leaving something to the CV requires attention and interpretation on the part of the search committee, and is not advised.
Everything listed under Required is a requirement for the position. There are no exceptions or passes for this. I don’t know how else to explain it.
In particular, if one of the requirements is a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, this is also a requirement. The cover letter should contain something about what the candidate has done relating to DEI. This means at least one sentence. Meeting the requirements for the position is necessary and important.
My only explanation for the repeated omission of DEI discussion in applicants' materials is that the deeply entrenched and pervasive racism of American culture blinds people to what is in front of them. There appears to be some kind of compartmentalization that allows people to not view the DEI component as a “real” requirement, and so people omit it, when they never fail to “forget” to mention their academic degrees or prior library experience, among other things. We are so used to turning a blind eye to DEI issues, or only discussing them in a limited, separate time allocated for the purpose, that many applicants subconsciously dismiss the DEI component as an integral part of a complete application.
Let’s please fix this so that we don’t have to throw so many applications in the trash!

sphinx.ext.viewcode
– Add links to highlighted source code¶
New in version 1.0.
This extension looks at your Python object descriptions (.. class::
, ..
function::
etc.) and tries to find the source files where the objects are
contained. When found, a separate HTML page will be output for each module with

Warning
Basically, viewcode
extension will import the modules being linked to.
If any modules have side effects on import, these will be executed when
sphinx-build
is run.
If you document scripts (as opposed to library modules), make sure their
main routine is protected by a if __name__ == '__main__'
condition.
In addition, if you don’t want to import the modules by viewcode
,
you can tell the location of the location of source code to viewcode
using the :event:`viewcode-find-source` event.
If :confval:`viewcode_follow_imported_members` is enabled, you will also need to resolve imported attributes using the :event:`viewcode-follow-imported` event.
This extension works only on HTML related builders like html

Hearts in profit thanks to donations of £3.25m from unnamed benefactors
Hearts have made a post-tax profit of almost £3 million as a result of donations from unnamed benefactors.
The club received £1m for player costs and an “exceptional donation” of £2.25m to record a proft of £2.9m after tax for last season. Hearts also received £3m in donations in the previous financial year.
A club statement read: “From a financial perspective we have once again achieved our major objective which was to grow our revenues profitably.
“In particular, our turnover increased by over 20 per cent from £12.1m to £15.1m. This resulted partly from growth in our commercial income, aided by the new facilities in our main stand, and as a result of our successes in both the League and Scottish Cups.”
Staff costs rose from £7m to £8.2m while operating costs also increased to £6.5m. Owner Ann Budge said: “During the year, we received an exceptional £1m donation towards player costs from our benefactors, which allowed us to increase our playing budget for the year.”
Hearts made £500,000 from the sale of players, mostly from Kyle Lafferty’s ill-fated move to Rangers.
The Tynecastle club’s search for a new manager is ongoing, with Neil McCann, Stuart McCall, Jack Ross and Steve Cotterill all having been interviewed for the job.


UK Government Blocks Release of Public Borrowing Forecast Amid Looming Election
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The United Kingdom’s Cabinet Office has blocked the publication of a forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), which was reportedly due to show a drop in public finances, citing its general election guidance.
"We had planned to publish a technical restatement of our March public finance forecast this morning, bringing it into line with current ONS [Office for National Statistics] statistical treatment – for example, the new treatment of student loans implemented in September – but not incorporating any new forecast judgements regarding the economy, the public finances or the impact of Brexit. This will no longer go ahead as the Cabinet Secretary has concluded that this would not be consistent with the Cabinet Office’s General Election Guidance," the OBR said on its website on Thursday.
The student loans reportedly added 12.4 billion pounds ($16 billion) to the borrowing figures.
According to The Guardian, the decision to block the forecast came two days after Cabinet Secretary Mark Sedwill scrapped the impact assessment of the Labour Party’s election pledges, referring to the same guidance and triggering a backlash from some of the Conservatives. The UK is set to hold a snap general election on 12 December.

Hi! I'm Johanna and I am an aspiring developer. I love to learn! I love to solve problems! It's not work when you're having fun!
I have worked for nearly 10 years in the production industry and for the last 6 years I have been working in the legal industry. Whilst I enjoyed/enjoy both, I feel I need a new challenge and programming surel qualifies as a challenge.
As an avid traveller I feel nowhere and everywhere at home! I love to discover new things, travel to new places, meet new people but I just as much like to hide away and solve a problem, tinker with my laptop and get lost in some unimportant little detail that doesn't work the way I want it to! I like it neat and tidy and I like to get things done!
I am a developing developer. I've started a few times learning Python and never followed through with it for long enough. I am currently learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript but I am planning on having another go with Python. It seems easier every time I start again.
Here are some of the projects I have worked on so far:

map<string
, string
>
shardServerLayout(string
table)
throws BlurException
Returns a map of the layout of the given table, where the key is the shard name
and the value is the shard server.
This method will return the "correct" layout for the given shard, or the
"correct" layout of cluster if called on a controller.
The meaning of correct:
Given the current state of the shard cluster with failures taken
into account, the correct layout is what the layout should be given the current state. In
other words, what the shard server should be serving. The act of calling the shard
server layout method with the NORMAL option will block until the layout shard server
matches the correct layout. Meaning it will block until indexes that should be open are
open and ready for queries. However indexes are lazily closed, so if a table is being
disabled then the call will return immediately with an empty map, but the indexes may
not be close yet.
@return map of shards in a table to the shard servers.
Parameters
| Name | Description | | table | the table name.
|
Function: Blur.shardServerLayoutState
map<string
, map<string
, ShardState
>
>
shardServerLayoutState(string
table)
throws BlurException
Returns a map of the layout of the given table, where the key is the shard name and the
value is the shard server.
This method will return immediately with what shards are currently
open in the shard server. So if a shard is being moved to another server and is being
closed by this server it WILL be returned in the map. The shardServerLayout method would not return
the shard given the same situation.
@return map of shards to a map of shard servers with the state of the shard.
Parameters
| Name | Description | | table | the table name.
|
Function: Blur.isInSafeMode

LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2000 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): ***
On this, the 60th anniversary of that classic, sweetly hokey, but delightful romantic musical, LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST from 1940, the studio is re-releasing it so that this generation can savor its charms. Based on the Shakespeare play of the same name, the movie features more song and dance numbers than you can count.
You do remember it don't you?
The biggest production number is set to "There's No Business Like Show Business." The famous songs include: "I Get A Kick Out Of You," "Just The Way You Look Tonight," "When We're Out Together Dancing Cheek To Cheek," "Let's Face The Music And Dance" and "They Can't Take That Away >From Me."
Directed by Kenneth Branagh, the large cast includes Kenneth Branagh, Alessandro Nivola, Alicia Silverstone, Natascha McElhone, Matthew Lillard, Adrian Lester, Timothy Spall, Nathan Lane, Stefania Rocca, Richard Clifford, Emily Mortimer and Carmen Ejogo. Although there aren't any Fred Astaires among them, they all sing and dance their hearts out, so much so that you'll find yourself singing away in the car afterwards.
Okay, so I lied. This is actually a new movie made very much in the spirit of an old one. Complete with a great film score and rich, oversaturated colors like the old Technicolor prints, this new film is an audacious homage to the musicals of old. It even has an Esther Williams-style synchronized swimming number.
The decidedly amateurish production is actually more interesting because of it. It is easy to picture yourself singing and dancing along with the actors. "Hey, if they can do it, so can I," you'll find yourself thinking.
Using fake, black-and-white newsreel footage, the movie sets the place and time as a small country in Europe just before the outbreak of World War II. The weakest part of the script is the play itself, not one of Shakespeare's better efforts. But this isn't a problem since, most of the time, the players are singing their hearts out and not speaking Elizabethan English. It is undeniably fun, however, to hear Alicia Silverstone (CLUELESS) uttering such lines as "I am too sudden bold."
It took a lot of guts for the cast to do this, knowing full-well that many critics would make fun of them since most do not appear to have had the proper musical training. The result is a good-spirited film that makes you want to sing and dance. How many movies have done that for you lately?
People are always asking me why they don't make musicals any more. Well, they do -- sometimes. This is one of the few, and it deserves a good-sized audience. See it when it plays your town. Unlike bad teen comedies and gory action flicks, which play for weeks and weeks, the run of musicals is, sadly, very short.
LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST runs a very fast 1:33. It is rated PG for sensuality and a brief drug reference and would be fine for all ages.
