‘Freedom of Speech and Expression doesn’t give right to tarnish the image of any person under the garb of Article 19’

Jagat Singh Negi v. Surat Singh Negi

Crl Revision 401/2022

Before High Court of Himachal Pradesh at Shimla

Hon’ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Kainthla J on 11.01.2024 partially set aside the order of Trial Court to the extent of allowing the complaint for the Offence of Defamation as calling the complainant ‘corrupt’ in press conference is tarnishing his image in the eyes of public. But will not cause breach of peace or incite a class or a community to cause breach of peace.

Facts

The Petitioner filed a complaint before the Trial Court for the offences punishable under Sections 500, 504, 505(C) of IPC asserting that the accused made a statement in the Press Conference that the petitioner had not toured Kinnaur District but more than 50 times during two years had withdrawn Travelling Allowance amounting to Rs.12,54,145/-.

He toured every district in his capacity as Vice President of Forest Corporation and had drawn the Travelling Allowance of ₹2,00,000/-. The petitioner indulged in corruption.

These words amount to defamation to him in the eye of the public.

The Trial Court recorded the statements of the petitioner and his witnesses and thereafter held that the right of speech and expression is a fundamental right. The public has a right to know.

There was no mensrea. Hence, the complaint was dismissed.

Aggrieved by the order of the Trial Court, present criminal revision is filed before High Court of Himachal Pradesh at Shimla.

Submission of the Petitioner

The petitioner is known for his honesty and integrity.

Right of freedom of speech is not absolute.

The Video recording of the statement was not considered by the Trial Court.

Trial Court misdirected itself while passing the order.

The right to criticism doesn’t include hurling abuses or criticism.

Observation of the High Court

The High Court Cited the Case of State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal 1992 Supp (1) SCC 335 where in it was held by the Apex Court that if any imputation of corruption is made against person holding high Office, the person can approach the Court u/s 500 IPC for suing for damages.

Allegation that the petitioner had withdrawn the excess amount can amount to criticism of the public official but calling an official ‘Corrupt’ is defamation ‘per se’ & is lowering the image in the eyes of the public.

Article 19 is not absolute but subject to exceptions which includes defamation.

A person can’t tarnish the reputation of a person in the garb of Freedom of expression and speech.

Trial Court fell in error by justifying the accused calling him as ‘Corrupt’.

Nothing was stated in the complaint to infer that words used will cause breach of peace.

Offence of Section 504IPC is not made out.

The statement does not contain any word which intend to invoke or incite a class or community to cause breach of peace.

Calling complainant corrupt will not incite any community or class for breach of peace.

Let’s talk about what went wrong with Taylor Swift Presale today. By now, you should all (hopefully) be aware that today, November 15th, was the start of a war declaration for all swifties. I myself was fortunate to get tickets, but thousands upon thousands of other die hard taylor fans were not. There are quite a few things that went wrong, and I hope to make this post cover as many as I am knowledgeable about so that in the case of future panic, concert ticket buyers can navigate the absolute hellscape that is ticketmaster. Fair warning: this post is long and winded, read at your own risk…. Screenshots will be included

Ticketmaster placed all sales on the same day with only a 1 hour buffer

In all their genius and ingenuity, TM decided to place all 52 presales (not including cap 1) on the same day. with a one. hour. buffer. If you’ve been on Twitter, you’ve seen the panic and anger from all pre-sale goers (myself included) East coast encountered many crashes and 504 bad gateway errors, not even including the “code not working” errors that eventually caused all queues to be placed on hold for over 3 hours… People couldn’t even get into waiting rooms due to site overload. Around 1 hour after this, TM told us to join using the code from our texts, but recommended using a laptop or desktop device… make it make sense? It was not any better in Central nation however. Upon joining the queue, I found myself to be behind nearly 5k people while my mom (who had gotten a code too and was trying incase my night was sold out) was behind nearly 22k people. Within 5 minutes of the queue opening, it was paused. There was no communication at all from TM for about an hour to an hour and a half. Twitter was flooded with people panicking that their codes weren’t working and the lines weren’t moving. I sat there for 4 hours until TM posted the following image.

Absolutely ridiculous. There was little to no communication about known issues or why TM couldn’t get their sh*t together in the span of 4 hours. Keep in mind I waited almost 6 hours to get tickets and others waited even longer. Stadiums were completely sold out in some cases with no update in the queue lines.

Boosts were not recognized/supported

Towards the bottom of this section I have attached a screenshot of a twitter thread discussing this. I personally feel this rumor may have some truth to it. I had no boosts, have never bought merch, and was relatively high in the line. However, I have yet to see a loverfest ticket holder who had a high place in line. The theory is that TM placed the boost holders at the end of the queue. Why? The ongoing theory is that it is for profit - TM is notorious for scalping and ripping off buyers, and it does not surprise me in the slightest that they would do this thinking that all the more dedicated swifties would be willing to spend more $$$ than the “locals.” There is a ton of outrage rn due to this. What was the point of the boosts if they didn’t work? Many boosted fans did not get any tickets as pre-sale sold out quickly.

UPDATE 11/16

Apparently this rumor has been confirmed from TM. See the attached picture. Seems that TM is having trouble keeping all their information consistent. Makes me wonder what exactly the boosts and loverfest did bc they defiantly did not help people get presale codes or ahead in the queue….

Dynamic Pricing + VIP packages

This is a concert lovers greatest enemy. We’ve all heard about how Ed Sheeran opted out of this, and we thought Taylor did as well…. until we walked into the gates of hell. It is still unclear if dynamic pricing is confirmed, but the prices across stadiums and pre-sale times is insane. I paid 299+fees for an 8th row lower bowl while one of my friends paid 400 for a 10th row and another only 250 for a floor ticket. There is absolutely no reason this should exist. Not only does this not detour scalpers, it simply makes the concert less accessible to people who ACTUALLY want to go. Not to mention the insane number of VIP packages available. IMO VIP should be something you add on after, not sold as an individual seat. The prices for floor VIP were 800+ for houston, and when I went to check about 2 hours after getting my tickets, they were one of the last things to be sold. These VIP packages had no communication before presale, and limited the number of good seating for people who simply wanted to watch the concert.

Weird error messages

This was a MAJOR problem during the presale that I haven’t seen many people talking about. I’ve attached a picture of my own error below. After finally getting through to purchase tickets, I found two amazing floor seats within my price range and immediately took them only to be met with the error below. I was literally freaking out while my mom kept on trying different tickets to no avail. I finally found someone on Twitter with the same issue who said they cleared cache and cookies and it worked. Luckily, I was able to do this, reenter my code, and get tickets (although not the amazing floor ones I had in my hand previously) TM has still not replied to my questions about the error messages, and it seems that more people are coming out with the same issue I encountered. I know TM was trying to prevent bots, but someone like me who has a verified email, phone, and clearly residential email handle should not have been flagged and given this code (still don’t know why tf I got it?) Some people are speculating these errors were to limit ticket buyers to cover up TM errors in calculating how many presale tickets were available.

Lack of support and ability to contact support

As I briefly mentioned earlier, I was not helped at all by TM support. There is no easily accessible number to call TM support, and even if there were, there is no guarantee they would pick up in time. Frankly, I was absolutely infuriated with how TM handled this. The lack of texts being sent, emails being sent late into the night with no waitlists in sight, no communication on how presale was going to work. Everyone was told completely different things and no one had any idea what was going on. Add this onto cap 1 presale being pushed back to tomorrow, this is going to make a lot of people really mad. I’ve heard of peoples cards not going through, codes declining, constant ticket disappearing, getting kicked to the back of queue, TM just dropping them - it’s a nightmare. Seriously, just look up some trending Taylor Swift tags on tiktok or twitter rn… And frankly, twitters TM support is just not helpful - the below twitter user received two completely different answers when asking about how codes can be used for different nights.

I sent TM support a message nearly 48 hours ago and still have no received a response - curious as to why, but I’m not entirely surprised. Haven’t heard too much about the situation over on seatgeek.

No Reputation Style Boosts

This is another speculation, but many swifties have said TM wouldn’t allow another reputation boost style system due to the low level of scalper activity during this sale. These boosts worked insanely well to get actual fans on the sale (unlike the verified fans) and it is inferenced that bc TM makes a lot of their money from resales and scalpers, they were against using this method for a popular artist like Taylor. This style of boost could have greatly benefited people who weren’t going to resell tickets, but because of cooperate greed TM has not allowed anyone to use it again.

Insane scalper prices

Literally what is says. 50k for a SINGLE floor ticket is just not it. don’t buy the resell tickets, wait it out for people to sell them at a slightly above face value. They knew people want this tour, and they’re taking advantage of that. How did so many tickets disappear and magically show up on stub hub during the queue pause? (hmmm I wonder it’s almost like that’s TM whole business model) This image is from chicago alone…. and look how many tickets are already here.

“Unprecedented” demand

*sigh* TM you were literally the ones who sent out the presale codes…. you cannot call this “unprecedented” when you literally knew the exact number of people who would be trying to get tickets. These overpriced service fees do what exactly? pay developers to pause queues and not send updates ever? People skipped work and school to buy these tickets and because of your oversight, they lost time and money and may have to miss more tomorrow to participate in Cap 1 presale. There is no other option for this volume of tickets being sold. Taylor has no option but to use this trashy, overpriced site to sell tickets to her loyal fans.

Overall, I am incredibly grateful to have even gotten a presale code. This is of no fault to Taylor or Taylor Nation - the blame lyes only on Ticketmaster. These past 48 hours have been brutal, and I know everyone is frustrated and mad at the shit show that happened today. I’m just asking any and all swifties to put your anger on TM not Taylor. She’s going to have a rough time responding to this, and I think we should make it as easy as possible for her. But most importantly, we need to hold TM accountable, there’s a reason monopoly is americas most hated game. Hopefully someone can crack down on this, but at the end of the day the only thing we can do is continue to support Taylor. Please let me know if there’s anything you think I should add to this post or want added. Thank you and I hope everyone recovers from today. <3

Genre: Smut, boyfriend au

Pairing: boyfriend!jaehyun x reader

Word Count: 504

Warning/s: cnc, unprotected sex (stay safe kids!), implied consent, somnophilia, VERY SMUTTY

Synopsis: Jaehyun lives his fantasy of fucking you in your sleep.

A/N: My first fic! Aaah! I didn’t expect it to be a smut, yet here we are. Lemme know if there are errors besties, i didn’t proof read. Also feel free to send in a drabble (prompt list on my carrd in bio).

Jaehyun loved to take you when you were sleeping.

Too tired to fight back against him.

All you had the energy to do was the whimper and moan about it, and that was something he absolutely loved.

It was a Saturday night, nothing interesting happened that day, you weren’t particularly exhausted, and you had nothing to do tomorrow morning either.

It was perfect.

Jaehyun waited a bit before you turned in for bed, just to ensure you were asleep.

You were a heavy sleeper, which only made Jaehyun more excited.

You reassured Jaehyun that he could be tough with you, even if you were oblivious. However, everytime you were under him, sleeping, he wanted to finish without you knowing.

Everytime was trial and error, he was obsessed with the idea of you waking up, full of his cum.

Being used in your weakest moment.

He quietly closed the door to your shared bedroom and talked over the bed.

Before doing anything he genuinely but swiftly pulled up your nightgown, praying to whatever the fuck is up there that you wouldn’t react to the cool air.

He waited a bit after and when he noticed you didn’t react he proceeded to carefully open your legs.

You wiggled your ass a little bit but overall you didn’t move.

At this point Jaehyun’s goal is to get to bed without you moving due to the shift in weight.

After that it’ll be smooth sailing for him.

Jaehyun removed his underwear, and lubed up his member, and slowly made his way onto bed.

With only the shift of your arms, he was successful.

He rubbed the left over lube on his fingers skillfully over your hole. This was the easy part for him, he’s fingered you countless times in your sleep.

It was getting himself inside that was tricky.

He once he was satisfied he lined himself up with your hole and jerked himself off.

If he fucked you now, you’d be sure to wake up.

Something primal awakened in Jaehyun every time you two fucked.

He’d lose all sense of control and decided to not let his lack of self control affect his plan.

He felt himself on edge as he slowly entered you.

A groan escaped your lips and you arched your back.

…But otherwise it was fine.

He decided not to risk it to only push part of his length into you.

He started to rock himself inside you, trying his best to not fuck up.

Your breath began to get uneven which worried Jaehyun a bit however, he started to feel a very familiar feeling.

Jaehyun hoped his cum wouldn’t wake you as he started to move ever so slightly faster.

Jaehyun came inside you, his warm fluid causing you eyes to flicker open and to whimper at this situation.

Jaehyun smirked,”Well since you’re up, I guess it’s your turn.”

Next time maybe, was the last coherent thought he had before all that was going through his mind was making you feel good.

Regarding the recent slowness/500 Errors

Hey there,

I just wanted to make a post about the recent errors some people may have been experiencing on Catbox when uploading a file. You may receive various errors, including a 504 Timeout, 500 Internal Server Error, or ID A:FF:FFFFFF. The root cause of these issues is primarily traffic and throughput.

What's been done recently

Catbox has moved inside it's datacenter to a half cabinet colocation. You may or may not have noticed the downtime, but the perks of this new location is it is has 10 Gbit/s fiber. The downside is that the current server for Catbox is only ethernet at 1 gbit/s. For perspective, here's what Catbox's average traffic graph looks like:

On average, Catbox pushes it's 1gbit pretty consistently. In response to that, I've purchased a new server capable of 10gbit/s, with additional storage, as Catbox is also having issues with disk space. I expect this server to be ready for production by the end of the year, after which these types of errors should be less common.

Additonally, I just wanted to thank everyone who has been a patron with me on Patreon. The bills are no longer inconsequential to me, so even taking 50% of the bill will help massively. You the real MVP.

What Type Of Backbiting Is Permissible? –

Tongue : Imaam an-Nawawee 👇🏽

Know that although backbiting is forbidden, it becomes permissible under certain circumstances when done for a beneficial reason. That which makes it allowable is a valid and legitimate goal, which cannot be achieved except by doing it (i.e. the backbiting). These goals can be broken down into six categories:

1. Oppression – It is permissible for the one who is oppressed to complain about his situation to the ruler or the judge or anyone else who holds authority or has the ability to grant him justice against his oppressor. He should say: “Such and such person wronged me” and “he did such thing to me”, and “he coerced me in this manner” and so on.

2. Seeking assistance in changing an evil and returning a sinner back to what is correct – One should say to the individual whom he expects has the ability to put an end to the evil: “Such and such person did this, so prevent him” or something to that effect. His objective should be to look for a way to ultimately put an end to the evil. If he does not intend this as his goal, then it is forbidden (for him to mention it).

3. Seeking a fatwa (religious ruling) – One should do this by saying to the muftee (scholar capable of issuing a fatwa): “My father” or “my brother” or “such and such person wronged me in this way.” “Does he have the right to do so?” “How shall I go about putting an end to it and obtain my right while repelling oppression from myself?” and so on. Likewise, one may say: “My wife did such and such to me” or “my husband did such and such a thing” and so on. This is permissible due to the necessity for it, however, to be more cautious, it is better for one to say: “What do you say about a man who has done such and such thing?” or “concerning a husband” or “concerning a wife who did such and such” (without saying “my”), etc.

By doing this, the goal is achieved without having to resort to specifying anyone. However, specifying an individual by name is permissible (in this circumstance), based on the hadeeth of Hind (radyAllaahu ‘anhaa), which we shall mention later, by the Will of Allaah, in which she told Allaah’s Messenger: “Indeed, Abu Sufyaan (her husband) is a stingy man.” And the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه و سلم did not forbid her from saying this.

4. Warning and Advising the Muslims against Evil – There are several perspectives to this, of which one is: Declaring someone unreliable in the field of narrating hadeeth and giving testimony. This is permissible to do, according to the Ijmaa’ (consensus of the Muslim scholars). Rather, it becomes obligatory due to the need for it. Another case is when an individual desires to enter into a relationship with another person either through marriage, business, the consignment of property, the consigning of something to him or any other of the daily affairs. It is obligatory on you to mention to that individual what you know about the person he wants to get involved with, with the intention of advising him.

If your objective can be achieved by simply saying: “It is not good for you to engage with him in business transactions” or “in a relationship through marriage” or by saying: “You should not do this” or anything similar to that, then adding more to this, such as by mentioning his bad characteristics is not permissible. And if the objective cannot be reached, except by specifically explaining that person’s condition to him, then you may mention that to him in detail. Another case is when you see someone buying a product from an individual who is known for stealing or fornicating or drinking or other than these. It is then upon you to inform the buyer of this, on the count that he is not knowledgeable of it already. And this case is not specified to this example only. Rather, it also applies to when you have knowledge that the commodity that is being traded is defective. It is then obligatory upon you to clarify this matter to the buyer, if he is not aware of it.

Another case is when you see a student going to an innovator or a deviant, seeking to attain knowledge from him, and you fear that it may affect the student. In that situation, you must advise him about the state of that innovator, on the condition that your intention only be for the sake of advising. And this is something in which regard many people fall into error, for perhaps the person speaking may do this (advising) because he is jealous (of the person he is warning against). Or perhaps the Devil may deceive him about this matter, causing him to believe that what he is doing is advising and showing compassion, so he believes this.

One last case is when a person has some leadership role, which he does not fulfill properly either because he is not fit for it or because he is a sinner or neglectful, etc. So in this case, one must mention this to those who have general leadership over this person, so that he can be removed and someone fit can be put in charge. Or those who have charge over him can know this about him so that they can deal with him accordingly and not be deceived by him, and so that they can make the right efforts to encourage him to be upright or to replace him.

5. When one openly exposes his acts of evil or his innovation – An example of this is when someone has openly exposed his consumption of alcohol, or his illegal confiscation of people’s money and raising of their taxes unjustly and his usurping command wrongfully. It is thus permissible for one to talk about what that individual has made public. But it is forbidden to mention any of his other defects, unless they fall under one of the categories in which we have mentioned that backbiting is permissible.

6. Defining someone – If someone is known to the people by his nickname, such as “the bleary eyed one”, “the one who limps”, “the deaf guy”, “the blind guy”, “crosseyed”, “flat-nosed”, and other than that, then it is permissible to particularize him as such, with the aim of identifying him. However, it is forbidden to apply that to him, when one’s intention is to degrade him. If he can be identified with another (more appropriate) type of name, then that is more preferable. These are the six cases in which the scholars have stated that backbiting is permissible, if it is done in accordance to the guidelines we mentioned above.

The evidences for the permissibility of backbiting can be found in authentic and well-known ahaadeeth. Furthermore, there is an agreement of the scholars concerning the allowance of backbiting in these six cases.

It is reported in the Saheehs of Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim that ‘Aa’ishah (radyAllaahu ‘anhaa) said: “A man sought permission of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم to enter (his house), so he said: ‘Permit him to enter, and what an evil brother to (his) relatives he is.'” [26] Al-Bukhaaree uses this hadeeth as evidence for the permissibility of backbiting the people of mischief and doubts.

Ibn Mas’ood (radyAllaahu ‘anhu) narrated: “The Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه و سلم divided a portion (of war booty amongst the people), so a man from the Ansaar said: ‘I swear by Allaah, Muhammad did not intend the face of Allaah by this (i.e. he was not fair).’ So I went to Allaah’s Messenger and informed him of this. His face changed (i.e. he became mad) and said: ‘May Allaah have mercy on Moosaa. He was indeed abused with greater than this, but he was patient.'” [27]

In some of the reports of the hadeeth, Ibn Mas’ood said: “I said: I will not raise another hadeeth to him again, after this.”

Al-Bukhaaree uses this hadeeth as proof that a person is allowed to inform his brother of what is being said about him. ‘Aa’ishah (radyAllaahu ‘anhaa) reported that Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم once said: “I do not think that this person and that person know anything at all about our Religion.” [28]

Al-Laith bin Sa’ad, one of the narrators of the hadeeth’s chain said: “They were two individuals from among the hypocrites (at his time).”

Zayd bin Arqam (radyAllaahu ‘anhu) reported: “We set out on a journey with the Prophet and the people suffered great difficulty (due to a lack of provisions). So ‘Abdullaah bin Ubay [29] said to his companions: ‘Don’t spend on those who are with Allaah’s Messenger so that they may disperse and go away from him.’ He said: ‘If we return to Madeenah, surely, the more honorable will expel the lowly ones from it. So I went to the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم and informed him of that. He sent for ‘Abdullaah bin Ubay and asked him, but ‘Abdullaah bin Ubay swore that he did not say so. So the people said: ‘Zayd told a lie to Allaah’s Messenger.’ And what they said distressed me very much. Later Allaah revealed the confirmation of my statement in His saying; ‘When the hypocrites come to you…’ [Surah Al-Munafiqeen]” [30]

Also there is the hadeeth of Hind (radyAllaahu ‘anhaa), the wife of Abu Sufyaan, in which she said to the Prophet: “Indeed, Abu Sufyaan is a stingy man.” [31] And also the hadeeth of Faatimah Bint Qays (radyAllaahu ‘anhaa), when the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم said to her (with regard to her accepting marriage proposals from two suitors): “As for Mu’awiyah, then he is utterly poor. And as for Abu Jahm, then he does not cease to remove the stick from his shoulder (i.e. he beats his wives).” [32]

I know this is one of those posts on which it's gauche to comment, but fuck it, I'll be gauche. Because the hilarious thing about this image is it says the error is a 504.

A 504 error usually happens when the server has more traffic than it can handle or when slow processes gum up the works (the latter often also causes 502s). It's a problem on the server end, not the user end.

So here's this gif saying "you know you're a problem, right" but thanks to that title line, the LAMP stack subtext is that the "speaker" is actually overtaxed and trying to shift the blame.

Forbidden

Summary: Despite sharing the same last name, Y/N and Sam use the backseat of the Impala to give into their sins.

Characters: Sam x Reader.

Words: 504.

Warnings: smut, smut, smut... oh and very small implications of incest of the half-sibling kind. 

A/N: This was just some innocent car sex but after seeing “A Simple Favour” yesterday it kinda turned a little dark, oops. Please don’t read if you’re likely to be triggered by it cause I’m sure as shit not being held responsible for anyone else’s depraved curiosity. Not beta’ed so all errors, spelling mistakes and general bullshit are entirely mine. While likes are gold, feedback is golden. Masterlists/taglists can be found in my bio.

There’s nothing quite like the brutal dig of Sam’s lithe hips slamming violently against the backs of your thighs no doubt leaving bruises, while his hands grip tight around your ankles already feeling the reddening indents of his fingertips raising over your skin.

Dean would kill the both of you if he knew what depraved sin you were committing on the backseat of the Impala but neither of you could help yourselves. These late night drives always end up this way; you sprawled across the black leather, legs spread while Sam kneels in the foot well between them, fucking every coherent thought from your brain.

Parked up at the side of the road, covered by the shadow of the trees, a small sliver of moonlight breaks through the branches and highlights the damp sheen of sweat smothered across Sam’s broad chest. You work your hands over his muscles, fingers slipping into the contours of his collarbones as you pull him down, smashing your lips against his with a tiny mewl, his cock now reaching rare but not unreachable depths inside your pussy.

Lewd sounds fill the car, the wet squelch of Sam’s cock slipping so effortlessly in and out of you interspersed with the noises of you whining into his neck and nibbling maniacally on his skin. Matching each deep thrust, low inhuman growls rumble through Sam’s chest as he straightens up, the tips of his fingers bruising your hips, his pace hardening to the point where you can do nothing else except surrender to your climax.

Your cunt pulsing on his swollen cock, fluid sluices from between your thighs as you quiver silently around his waist, unable to even scream as it traps in your throat. Your hand shoots to the closest window smearing your palm across the mist leaving a wet hand print in its wake while the other curls tight around his wrist.

Sam grunts, emptying inside you, the heat of his cum warming your belly and a wave of elation floods your veins, your body sagging back against the seat, your skin prickly hot as it sticks. Letting out the breath you’ve been holding in, your eyes flutter up to meet Sam’s gaze just as his flicker open. He smiles wide, his dimples deepening as you return it with a small, naughty giggle. 

As you drive back to the motel, you let your eyes wander over the Winchester brother sat next to you; the wonderful thickness of his release still lays in your pussy reminding you of how fucking whole he makes you feel when he’s inside you and despite your father’s blood flowing inside both of you, no other feeling in the world comes even remotely close. Sam just... gets you. 

Glancing round to the back seat, you can still see the imprint of your ass denting the leather and the last of your hand print melting from the window as the steam evaporates into the air as you try to hide a fiendish smirk.

Oh yes, Dean will be furious.

It can appear no matter what platform your website is using. It is important to understand that 404 not found is not unique to WordPress only.

Incorrect redirect to the page that changed the address.

The File / Page has been removed from the resource.

Then, if someone tries to access a URL that no longer works, a 404 error occurs in WordPress. In some cases, problems with the plugin or theme can affect how WordPress creates URLs and s for your site. Perhaps your domain information has not yet been updated in DNS, so you see an error when you try to access one of the pages on your site.

Problem with domain name server (DNS) settings.

Sometimes the browser can cache the page you are trying to access, and until it is found, you will see a 404 error, even if the site works for everyone else. In some cases, the error may be in the additional letter typed in the URL of the page. Moreover, it is difficult to track all the response codes manually - for this, it is better to use special services and programs (we will discuss them later).įor now, let’s look at the causes of error 404 not found: However, it can be quite problematic to avoid losing the content on a site with dozens of sections and hundreds of pages. Ideally, users should not face the pages with 404 server response. However, what are the reasons for the error and how to fix it? What causes Error 404 Not Found on WordPress? This is not necessary, but it does explain to visitors that the website is working, and the only problem is the specific page that they are trying to find. These error messages can be fairly uncertain, and any website can customize its own 404 error page.

"Too many SQL variables" error in django with sqlite3

I'm getting this error using sqlite3 in django:

Exception Value: too many SQL variables

And I think the answer to it is this, from here:

Many SQL programmers are familiar with using a question mark ("?") as a hostparameter. SQLite also supports named host parameters prefaced by ":", "$", or"@" and numbered host parameters of the form "?123".

To prevent excessive memory allocations, the maximum value of a host parameternumber is SQLITE_MAX_VARIABLE_NUMBER, which defaults to 999."

However, there's a remaining oddity that I don't understand, which is that thesame query runs fine from a django shell session (launched with python manage.py shell), but not when the call is made from my views.py.

These are the lines of code that are causing the error:

vals = Company.objects.filter(id__in=comp_ids).values('id', 'name').order_by('name')names_map = SortedDict(vals)

where comp_ids is a set containing 1038 integer elements.

The exact same query, with an even greater no. of comp_ids (3800+) runs fine inthe django shell (launched with python manage.py shell) - the dictionary getscreated, and I could iterate through it.

I've tried breaking up comp_ids into sets of e.g. [:996] (that seemed to be thelimit before it barfed) i.e. filter(id__in=comp_ids[:996]), then the rest inthe next iteration, which would be consistent with the "no. of host parameters"explanation.

But why would it work in the django shell but not from views.py?

EDIT: Some more information:Entering the query into the sqlite shell (manage.py dbshell) returns the fullset of results with no errors, same as in the django shell (manage.py shell).

Here are the exact list of parameters (1039 elements) and the query, if you'dlike to know the details:

(Incidentally, you don't need to use pdb for that - django very helpfullydisplays the backtrace in the browser (in render_to_response()?) when an error occurs, with afull list of the local variables at each step, so you can see the full querythere.)

I had, however, previously tried stepping into the django code with pdb, andfound the error was actually originating from python's pysqlite2.dbapi2 (orsqlite3.dbapi2) module, at line 200 of django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py:

(which was also in the helpful backtrace shown in the error page), whereDatabase is an alias for either pysqlite2.dbapi2, or sqlite3.dbapi2, dependingon your python version.

But I thought that was too far down the call stack to keep debugging (for now),so decided to stop, and started thinking about workarounds and googling foranswers instead. :)

Is it better to calibrate a scale with a single or multiple calibration weights?

Using a single weight of the appropriate OIML or ATSM class is best.

OIML type weights usually have flat tops and up to three OIML type weights of a given class can be stacked easily to reach a desired calibration weight within that class.

When calibrating an inexpensive (typically China made) electronic scale, the ‘called for’ or ‘flashing’ total calibration weight should ideally to be applied to the geometric center of the pan at one point in time rather than adding several weights sequentially to achieve the ‘flashing’ weight. {If you must add weights sequentially, do so quickly}

Also the scale needs to be on a solid, vibration free, draft free, level surface (like a lab ‘surface plate’) that has been checked and adjusted with an accurate spirit level. {Kitchen tables or counters or showcase tops rarely qualify. Being significantly out of level can cause significant errors in weighing and calibrating.}

Some electronic scales have built in ROM programming that will prevent a grossly inaccurate total weight from calibrating them.

However, most such scales will calibrate to the actual total weight that you have on the pan as long as the weight is not grossly inaccurate. Thus, 50 US Nickels (5 Cents coins) at a nominal weight of 5.0 grams each will often cause a 0.1 gram resolution 500 to 1000 grams capacity electronic scale to “PASS” in the calibration mode.

However, based on my own empirical testing 50 U S Nickels, randomly selected from circulation, having various dates, and being in clean and almost uncirculated condition, can actually weigh between 494 and 504 grams at a 99.7% confidence level with an average (mean) weight of 499.05 grams. Using them for scale calibration is a bad practice. However, U S Nickels can be useful to to determine if a scale is likely within serviceable calibration. Calibration Weights

Closer tolerance weights are preferred and needed for calibrating scales with resolutions of 0.010 gram or 0.001 gram. However, close tolerance weights like OIML F1 are many times more costly than OIML M1 or even more so OIML Class M2.

Calibrating an inexpensive 500 to 1000 grams total capacity scale with 0.1 gram resolution using a 500 grams F1 weight (having a is ± 0.0025 gram tolerance) is overkill because the typical inherent accuracy of the balance is only ± 0.5 gram at a 99.7 % confidence level and about ± 0.3 gram at 95.4% confidence level and about ± 0.1gram 68% of the time. An OIML M1 ( ± 0.025 g) or even a OIML M2 (0.075 g) will usually suffice for calibrating such scales.

4 Major Repairs to Avoid When Selling Your House in New Orleans

When you’re ready to sell, thoughts of what is wrong with your house, the desire to sell your home for a higher price may motivate you to make the repairs on your own to save money. Remember too, when you are selling, the disclosure form awaits, and you will need to advise the new owners of all of the work or face possible legal and financial consequences down the road. So if you’d like to avoid what could be a costly mistake and potentially life-threatening situations, it may be worth hiring a professional to get the job done right.

Additionally, should something go wrong, your insurance company might not cover the damage should you make the repairs yourself or hire a local handyperson. Therefore, before any work proceeds, it’s essential to review your policy and consider the value of hiring a professional and having a paper trail for your insurance adjuster.

Read on to discover four major repairs to avoid when selling your house in New Orleans.

Electrical

While changing a light switch may be perfectly safe, when done correctly, significant electrical issues are top on our list of repairs to avoid when selling your house in New Orleans for good reason; it’s one of the most dangerous and could cost someone their life. In addition, the slightest error in the installment could potentially cause a fire.

Plumbing

Besides the common issues with drain clogs, you should avoid plumbing repairs when selling your house in New Orleans. Not only is there a severe threat of damage to your home from a newly formed fountain spewing out of your kitchen pipes or upstairs plumbing soaking through the ceiling, but you’ll also end up paying the plumber to repair the damage. Not only that, you’ll still need the original plumbing problem resolved.

Foundation

Without exception, you should hire a professional to make any foundation repairs when selling your house in New Orleans because the foundation upon which the home sits is integral to the structural stability of the building. A mistake in making a foundation repair could take months or years to finally reveal itself, usually when it’s much too late to make a simple fix. While it may appear to be just a tiny crack to you, the eyes of an expert are always required, along with specialized equipment and processes to protect your home from extreme damage.

Roof

While it may appear to be a simple matter of hammering in a few shingles, you shouldn’t attempt roofing repairs when selling your house in New Orleans. Regrettably, it is easy to make simple mistakes working on a roof that can cause heavy structural damage or cause leaks. Often homeowners will attempt to buy leak-stopping miracles at a local hardware store and delay proper repairs, which only adds to the final expense of getting the job done right. Unfortunately, without the appropriate equipment and no knowledge of proper safety protocol, many homeowners have fallen and been seriously injured in accidents while undertaking roof repairs.
