Add virtual environment to Jupyter notebook

Add/Remove Virtual Environment to Jupyter Notebook

========================================

1.Activate the virtual environment.

2. Install the Jupyter Core

sudo apt install jupyter-core

3.Install ipykernel which provides the IPython kernel for Jupyter

pip install --user ipykernel

4.Add your virtual environment to Jupyter by typing:

python -m ipykernel install --user --name=ENVNAME

This should print the following:

Installed kernelspec myenv in /home/user/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/ENVNAME

The virtual environment is now added in the Jupyter Notebook

5.Launch a Jupyter Notebook and change the Kernel using the option Kernel>Change Kernel

6.To list the paths of all the listed kernels use the command

jupyter kernelspec list

7. It is also better to install jupyter notebook to the environment itself (i had to face the situation package not found when running the notebook as in step 4 and then changing the kernel). To do this activate the environment and then type in 

conda install jupyter notebook

8.To uninstall any unwanted kernel, list the paths of all the installed kernels and then uninstall using the command

jupyter kernelspec uninstall unwanted-kernel

fake news and image search tools

Two online tools that can used to make reverse image searches are TinEye and Google image search. These can be used locate the sources of fake news images.

Most often the fake news creators use old images available on net and then put sensational captions/comments relevant to current situation(s). These 'fake images' are then posted on social media platforms (facebook, twitter etc) which are then widely shared. The account from which the 'fake image and content' is first posted is usually deleted in a few hours.

But, by then the damage would have been done in real world.

Interestingly, these tools can also be used to perform copyright violation of images.
