Contents 1 Django Ditto Documentation, Release 0.9.0 2 Contents CHAPTER 1 Introduction A collection of Django apps for copying things from third-party sites and services. This is still in-progress and things may change. If something doesn’t make sense, email Phil Gyford and I’ll try and clarify it. Requires Python 3.4, 3.5 or 3.6, and Django 1.11, 2.0 or 2.1. See screenshots of a site using the supplied templates. 1.1 Services covered Currently, Ditto can copy these things from these services: • Flickr – Photos – Photosets – Original image and video files – Users • Last.fm – Scrobbles (Artist, Track and Album) • Pinboard – Bookmarks • Twitter – Tweets – Favorites/Likes – Images and Animated GIFs (but not videos) – Users 3 Django Ditto Documentation, Release 0.9.0 It can save these things for one or more account on each service. See possible future services, and overall progress, in this issue. Public and private Photos, Bookmarks and Tweets are saved, but only public ones are used in the included Views, Templates and Template tags; non-public data are only visible in the Django admin. Ditto does not sync data – it’s a one-way fetch of data from the service to Ditto. You can repeatedly fetch the same Photos, Tweets, etc and their data will be overwritten in Ditto. You could do a single fetch of all your data as a snapshot/archive. And/or, after that, keep fetching the latest items to keep it up-to-date. For each item fetched, the original JSON data is saved on its object. 1.2 What Ditto includes The Ditto apps provide: • Models • Admin • Management commands to fetch the data/files • Views and URLs • Templates (that use Bootstrap 4.1) • Template tags for common things (eg, most recent Tweets, or Flickr photos uploaded on a particular day) You could use the whole lot to create a minimal site that displays your Tweets, photos, etc – see the devproject/ for a bare-bones example. Or you might want to use the management commands, Models and Admin to fetch and store your data, but use that data in your own Views and Templates, maybe using the Template tags. Or some other combination. 4 Chapter 1. Introduction CHAPTER 2 Installation 2.1 Pillow Ditto uses Pillow which has some prerequisites of its own. You may need to install libjpeg and zlib. (On a Mac, zlib was installed for me by XCode, and I used Homebrew to install libjpeg.) 2.2 Install django-ditto Ditto can be installed using pip: $ pip install django-ditto 2.3 Add to INSTALLED_APPS To use Ditto in your own project (untested as yet), add the core ditto.core application to your project’s INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py, and add the applications for the services you need. This example includes Flickr, Last.fm, Pinboard and Twitter: INSTALLED_APPS=( # other apps listed here. # ... 'imagekit', # Required only to use downloaded images and videos 'sortedm2m', # Required only for ditto.flickr 'taggit', # Required only for ditto.flickr and ditto.pinboard 'ditto.core', 'ditto.flickr', 'ditto.lastfm', 'ditto.pinboard', 'ditto.twitter', ) 5 Django Ditto Documentation, Release 0.9.0 If you only wanted to use the Flickr part, including displaying downloaded photos, you would do this: INSTALLED_APPS=( # other apps listed here. # ... 'imagekit', # Required only to use downloaded images and videos 'sortedm2m', # Required only for ditto.flickr 'taggit', # Required only for ditto.flickr and ditto.pinboard 'ditto.core', 'ditto.flickr', ) Or, to use only the Twitter part, and not worry about using local versions of images: INSTALLED_APPS=( # other apps listed here. # ... 'ditto.core', 'ditto.twitter', ) 2.4 Add to urls.py To use Ditto’s supplied views you can include each app’s URLs in your project’s own urls.py. Note that each app requires the correct namespace (flickr, lastfm, pinboard or twitter), eg: from django.conf.urls import include, url from django.contrib import admin urlpatterns=[ url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), url(r'^flickr/', include('ditto.flickr.urls')), url(r'^lastfm/', include('ditto.lastfm.urls')), url(r'^pinboard/', include('ditto.pinboard.urls')), url(r'^twitter/', include('ditto.twitter.urls')), # To include the overall, aggregated views: url(r'ditto/', include('ditto.core.urls')), ] Change the URL include paths (eg, r'^ditto/pinboard/' as appropriate) to suit your project. See the urls.py in the devproject/ project for a full example. Each app’s URL conf is included under an appropriate app_name: • flickr • lastfm • pinboard • twitter • ditto (The Ditto Core URLs) 6 Chapter 2. Installation Django Ditto Documentation, Release 0.9.0 2.5 Settings There are some optional settings that can be placed in your project’s settings.py. 2.5.1 Core settings The ditto.core app has some optional settings for customing the formats used to display dates and times in the default templates (and the ditto_core.display_time() template tag). The formats are those used for strftime. Here they are, with their default values: # e.g. "07:34" DITTO_CORE_TIME_FORMAT='%H:%M' # e.g. "8 Apr 2018" DITTO_CORE_DATE_FORMAT=' %-d %b%Y' # Used when both a time and a date are displayed. # The [time] and [date] tokens are replaced with the formats from the # two settings above. # e.g. "07:34 on 8 Apr 2018" DITTO_CORE_DATETIME_FORMAT='[time] on [date]' # Used when only a year is displayed. # e.g. "2018" DITTO_CORE_DATE_YEAR_FORMAT='%Y' # Used when only a month and year are displayed. # e.g. "Apr 2018" DITTO_CORE_DATE_YEAR_MONTH_FORMAT='%b%Y' 2.5.2 Service-specific settings In addition, some of the other apps have their own optional settings. They’re described in detail in each service’s documentation. This is the complete list of service-specific settings with their default values: DITTO_FLICKR_DIR_BASE='flickr' DITTO_FLICKR_DIR_PHOTOS_FORMAT='%Y/%m/ %d' DITTO_FLICKR_USE_LOCAL_MEDIA= False DITTO_TWITTER_DIR_BASE='twitter' DITTO_TWITTER_USE_LOCAL_MEDIA= False 2.5.3 Other optional settings To have large numbers formatted nicely in the included templates, ensure these are in your settings.py: USE_L10N= True USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR= True 2.5. Settings 7 Django Ditto Documentation, Release 0.9.0 2.6 Set up each service Each service (such as Flickr or Twitter) you want to use will require some set-up in order to link your account(s) on the service with Django Ditto. See the documentation for each service for how to do this. 8 Chapter 2. Installation CHAPTER 3 Flickr You can fetch, store and display data about all your Photos and Photosets (Albums) for one or more Flickr Accounts. By default the included models and templates will link to the photo files on flickr.com, but you can also download the original files to store locally. These can then be used to generate images in all other sizes, to be served locally. See the Fetch Files management command below. 3.1 Set-up In the Django admin, create a new Account in the Flickr app, and add your Flickr API key and secret from https: //www.flickr.com/services/apps/create/apply/ (you can ignore the User for the moment). By default this will only allow the fetching of fully public photos. To fetch all photos your Flickr account can access, you’ll need to do this: 1. Enter your API key and secret in the indicated place in the file ditto/scripts/flickr_authorize.py. (If you’ve installed

  • Beatles EP's in The
    Four or Six Songs In a Cardboard Cover RCA Victor introduced the 45 RPM single in 1949. As 45 RPM records emerged as an alternative to 78's, the speed immediately spawned several format incarnations. Boxed sets of singles were common throughout the industry (as an alternative to the 78 RPM "album"). One notion that did not escape immediate attention was the possibility that at the slower speed of 45 RPM, the new records were not only smaller but could also hold more than one song per side. Four‐song, 45 RPM records were introduced by RCA in August, 1952, as "Extended Play" records or EP's. Several EP's would be collected into extended play albums. Traditionally, an EP held two previously‐released singles by an artist or four songs from a Broadway show or film soundtrack (an abridgement of the 78 RPM album). Capitol boarded the EP train in early 1953. As the trend continued toward records that held more material, the long‐playing "LP's" introduced by Columbia Records in 1948 also gained popularity. Seven inch "long play" records were also released, essentially as experiments. "33 singles" did not fare well on the singles market, but their counterparts, "compact 33's," were popular enough in juke boxes to warrant releases well into the 1960's. These compacts usually contained 6 songs instead of the 4 found in an extended‐play release. At the beginning, an EP cover was often a reproduction of the 78 album cover. In the early years, Capitol frequently used the same cover for its EP's, 45 RPM boxed sets, 10" LP's, and later even a few 12" LP's.

  • TRUST MELTDOWN II Highlights the Trends and Offers Solutions on How to When Nocontrolmechanismsareinplace
    Edited by Roland Schatz and Liv Watson Trust Meltdown II Everybody in the financial sector expected 2009 to be rough; the head- lines following the Lehman collapse were frank. But they expected the media would calm down in 2010 as better results proved that the finance sector was no longer loosing money. Now, in 2011 the picture is clear: Yes, the financial results presented in 2010 were much better than expected. But yet, the headlines remained the same. From a reputational standpoint no recovery has happened as the media on Wall Street and Main Street keep asking the same ques- tions: What have you learned from the crisis? And what was implemented in 2009 and 2010 to make sure another Meltdown will not happen? The first TRUST MELTDOWN report made it clear that the banking industry had not caught a mere cold, so much as it had been hit by a fundamental crisis that raised questions regarding its license to operate. Making money out of money was no longer a convincing story for the opinion-leading media. The bottom line in 2009: the media reputation of the financial sector had gone south, so much so, that it was ranked worse than the tobacco industry. Did 2010 help it to improve? No, the media reputation actually worsened Frank Brettschneider even while the pure economic figures improved. Obviously, Wall Street‘s Christian Dreyer Anikar M. Haseloff hope in this regard turned out to be counterproductive. And hiding away Jake Leon was no solution. Neither was trying to play the blame game that pretend- Michael P.

  • Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song from Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970S Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC B
    Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song From Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970s Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC Bachelor of Music, University of Ottawa, 2005 Master of Arts, Music Theory, University of Western Ontario, 2007 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia May, 2014 © Copyright by Emily Margot Gale All Rights Reserved May 2014 For Ma with love iv ABSTRACT My dissertation examines the relationship between American popular song and “sentimentality.” While eighteenth-century discussions of sentimentality took it as a positive attribute in which feelings, “refined or elevated,” motivated the actions or dispositions of people, later texts often describe it pejoratively, as an “indulgence in superficial emotion.” This has led an entire corpus of nineteenth- and twentieth-century cultural production to be bracketed as “schmaltz” and derided as irrelevant by the academy. Their critics notwithstanding, sentimental songs have remained at the forefront of popular music production in the United States, where, as my project demonstrates, they have provided some of the country’s most visible and challenging constructions of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and morality. My project recovers the centrality of sentimentalism to American popular music and culture and rethinks our understandings of the relationships between music and the public sphere. In doing so, I add the dimension of sound to the extant discourse of sentimentalism, explore a longer history of popular music in the United States than is typical of most narratives within popular music studies, and offer a critical examination of music that—though wildly successful in its own day—has been all but ignored by scholars.
