How to install Django on Mac OS X

Django is a web application framework for Python for developing web applications. Django is written in Python programming language and is open source. Based on DRY(don’t repeat yourself),reusability principles, complex web application development becomes easy in Django.
It is generally said that “Django is for perfectionists with deadline.”
Unlike Windows, development environment is like Linux in Mac OS X, so if you have been using Linux, you won’t feel any difference. Follow these steps to steup Django 1.7 on Mac OS X.
Step 1: Press “F4” and open “Terminal”
Step 2: Lets first install pip (it is used to install python packages). On the terminal type this command and when prompted for password, enter your Mac OS X (computer ) password.
sudo easy_install pip
Step 3: Now to install Django, type the command given below and then password of your mac is prompted.
sudo pip install Django
Step 4: To check which version of Django is installed in your Mac, enter this command
django-admin.py --version
Step 5: Creating django project is easy, just type this command
django-admin.py startproject projectname
this command will create a django project and to run this project, first navigate to project folder and then start server.
cd projectname
python manage.py runserver
No you can go to http://127.0.0.1:8000 to check if it works.
You’ll see something like this(django’s default page).

Planed Value - PMP - PMBOK

Planned Value (PV)

As per the PMBOK Guide “Planned Value (PV) is the authorized budget assigned to work to be accomplished for an activity or WBS component.
Total planned value for the project is also known as Budget at Completion (BAC).
The Planned Value is the approved value of the work to be completed in a given time period; in other words, it is the money that you should have spent as per the schedule.
Planned Value is also referred to as the Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS).

Formula to calculate the Planned Value (PV)

Planned Value = (Planned % Complete) X (BAC)

A mathematical example of Planned Value (PV)

You have a project to be completed in 12 months and the total cost of the project is $100,000 USD. Six months have passed and the schedule says that 50% of the work should be completed.
What is the Planned Value (PV)?
Let us see what we have been given in this question.
Project duration: 12 months
Project Cost (BAC): $100,000 USD
Time elapsed: 6 months
Percent complete: 50% (as per the schedule)
The definition of Planned Value says that the Planned Value is the value of the work that should have been completed so far (as per the schedule).
Therefore, in this case we should have completed 50% of the total work.
Hence,
Planned Value = 50% of value of the total work
= 50% of BAC
= 50% of $100,000
= (50/100)X $100,000
= $50,000
Therefore, the Planned Value (PV) is $50,000 USD.

Application of Planned Value

Planned Value is used to calculate Schedule Variance (SV), and Schedule Performance Index (SPI).

What's the difference between the Oracle SYS and SYSTEM accounts?

SYS
When you create an Oracle Database, the user SYS is automatically created and
granted the DBA role.
All of the base tables and views for the database data dictionary are stored in the
schema SYS. These base tables and views are critical for the operation of Oracle
Database. To maintain the integrity of the data dictionary, tables in the SYS schema are
manipulated only by the database. They should never be modified by any user or
database administrator, and no one should create any tables in the schema of user SYS.
(However, you can change the storage parameters of the data dictionary settings if
necessary.)

Ensure that most database users are never able to connect to Oracle Database using the
SYS account.

SYSTEM

When you create an Oracle Database, the user SYSTEM is also automatically created
and granted the DBA role.

The SYSTEM username is used to create additional tables and views that display
administrative information, and internal tables and views used by various Oracle
Database options and tools. Never use the SYSTEM schema to store tables of interest to
non-administrative users.

Food that help in Bone Healing

Homemade yogurt with extra dry milk added to increase the magnesium and calcium content (great source of Lysine) Be sure to take some just before going to sleep to aid in overnight calcium absorption.  2 cups or more per day are recommended.  See recipe section in any of my books under homemade yogurt.  Its easy to do, and you do not need a yogurt maker.

Salmon and other fish, including the skin and fat (Research suggests this fat (EPA fat) has the ability to raise HDLs.
1-5 servings per week recommended)

When I started this page, I didn’t know that this will create such a huge response from my dear readers الْØ­َÙ…ْدُ Ù„ِÙ„َّÙ‡ِ رَبِّ الْعَالَÙ…ِينَ May Allah bless and accept the effort and reward abundantly. Thank you dear readers. Jazakallaahu khayra wa Baarakallaahu Feekum.
Dear brothers and sisters, Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu. 
As many parents/students contact me showing their eagerness for the full-time/part-time study of the Qur’an, this page is added to help the sincere seekers.
While I will be updating this page periodically, Inshaa’allah, you are also welcome to share your experiences, if any, through comment section, Inshaa’allah.
PS Note: 1. Dear readers, please avoid sending comments asking for exact locations etc. as it is not possible to reply to each and every comment request to the satisfaction of the readers. For exact location, timings etc. you need to take time to call the centre, Inshaa’allah. You may have to call more than one centre to get to know the details you are looking for. 
PS Note: 2. Time and again I receive comments from individuals saying that they teach Qur’an through Skype or home tuition, this and that… It is my humble request to such brothers/sisters that it is waste sending such comments here.

What is Context Diagram ?



  • The context diagram is an example of a scope model. 
  • Context diagrams visually depict the product scope by showing a business system (process, equipment, computer system, etc.), and how people and other systems (actors) interact with it. 
  • Context diagrams show inputs to the business system, the actor(s) providing the input, the outputs from the business system, and the actor(s) receiving the output.
