5 Warning Signs Your Child's Daycare Is Not Right for You
2 of 6
Frequent Staff Changes/Inadequate Coverage
Frequent staff changes could be a sign that workers are unhappy and there are problems with the program. Take notice how the staff reacts if you make an unexpected visit, such as during your lunch break. If you are discouraged from doing this, or are asked to call before dropping in unannounced, it may be a sign of inadequate care.
Ideally, daycare staff should be trained in early childhood education in order to nurture your child's skills and development. The American Academy of Pediatrics also recommends one staff person for every three to five small children, and one staff member for every seven to ten older children. If training in early childhood education is not required of the staff at your child's daycare, or the center is understaffed, it's time to look elsewhere.
In addition, the center's director should be available and easily accessible for parents, staff, and children. If your center's director isn't around during the day and is hard to reach, it's a good indication the supervision at your daycare is not sufficient.

Great stuff from Eryka Badu – sweet, mellow, soulful, and with a very righteous vibe! The record's got some impeccable production – and the best cuts have a stripped-down groove that mixes keyboards and vocals in a way that's similar to recent work by D'Angelo and Jill Scott. Eryka's all her own woman, though – and she keeps things very real with her own unique vocal style and phrasing on the lyrics. Loads of great tracks – and titles include "Kiss Me On My Neck", "Didn't Cha Know", "My Life", "AD 2000", "Bag Lady", "In Love With You", and "Booty". © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

Collected by Iola Stone For Mary Celestia Parler Transcribed by Iola Stone
Sung by Mrs. Susie Wasson Springdale, Arkansas July 25, 1959
Reel 283, Item 1
Boarding House
There is a boarding house where I stay,
That is turning my hair gray,
And the landlord is always full of beer.
The beds the bugs have rented,
And the room is sweetly scented,
By an old-fashioned tan yard in the rear.
The doughnuts they are wooden,
We have cast iron pudding,
We kneel and pray before we go to bed.
And if you would get a breeze,
Of that antedeluvian cheese,
You would think that someone hit you with a club.
We have Indian rubber pickles,
Exercise them on bicycles,
A dinner bell or gong we can't afford.
The minute they open the gate We rush in on roller skates,
At that all-go-hungry hash-house where we board. The molasses are made of paint,
If you would smell them you would faint,
They are green and dished out in a gourd.
The bread is full of cracks,
You couldn't cut it with an ax,
At that all-go-hungry hash-house where we board.
The big fat cook we call the dutchess,
Brings the coffee in on crutches,
The buckwheat cakes like sponges petrified.
The pies are old and gray,
They were tackled by a jay,
Who went right out and committed suicide.
The sausage it was marked,
If you'd touch it it would bark.
The steak you couldn't cut it with a sword.
The eggs were bought to match,
If you'd shake them they would hatch
At that all-go-hungry hash-house where we board.
Cont'dBoarding House Reel 283, Item 1 Continued
When we sit down to eat we stutter,
There are whiskers in the butter,
The cheese comes from old Gingen on the Rhine.
All day yesterday we were trying,
To get a skelton for a sign,
At that all-go-hungry hash-house where we board.

I'm trying to find out what movie I have seen a few years ago.
The action takes place in occupied France if I remember correctly. The first part is more like love story between a man and a woman. After this man enlists in the army and leaves to fight, the woman apparently has an affair with a local nazi commander or something. When the man comes home finds out about the two and tries to convince her to leave him. Unfortunately she can't tell him the real reason why is she involved with the nazi guy, but later the man finds out that she actually enlisted as a spy for the French resistance :D
In the end, the french resistance manages to overtake the nazi occupation, but the woman gets caught by french people and she is considered a traitor because everyone who lived there saw her with the nazi commander.
The man tries to find her, but she eventually gets killed by the angry mob :(
It has one of the most frustrating movie endings I have ever seen.

7 Winter Diet Tips Nutritionists Swear By
Prevent unwanted padding this season with the diet tips experts rely on to save their own waistlines
"Before baking, I plan where I'm going to bring my batch of brownies or cookies. I'll decide if it's going to the office, my child's teacher, or a neighbor who I want to surprise. Then, before packing up the treat, I'll just take the equivalent of two bites. Those first two bites taste the best and satisfy my cravings without a lot of calories; after those first couple bites, you don't get the same rush."

When the deadline is far away, I start procrastinating, not by not doing it, but by doing slowly; it is not by intention. I observe it by how it is always near the deadline when I get things finished. Another situation is when I set a time table; I always used time longer than I originally allocated.
How can I overcome this?

"There was some discussion on the subject, but it's been two years now and it seems the Oyakata has been reflecting well on his deeds," explained Hakkaku Oyakata. So I understand the former Oyakata himself (ex-Higonoumi) will be the Oyakata.
"I was responsible for them for two years. I don't want the rikishi from both heyas to suffer (from the population explosion..) so with their future in mind, I think this is the best solution," said the Rijicho himself.
Aside - Kitanoumi, as rijicho now, is in a position to do something about that decision back then..

I just got a KnuKoncepts 4AWG kit and it came with the wires etc. and then a baggie with a bunch of gold tips (circle things)... I was wondering how you attach the wires to these things? Should I solder them? Should I crimp them? If I don't buy a crimping tool, is there a suitable replacement (vice grips/hammmer,ect).

Here's how it works:

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
It depends on the design of the ends. Normally power connectors are just crimped, whereas data connectors are often crimped and soldered. While vice grips/hammer can crimp in an emergency, it's not going to do a proper crimp. You really want the right tools doing this, especially in large gage wire (which can obviously carry a lot of current). I'd recommend picking up the Haynes Electrical Manual as a reference. http://www.amazon.com/Automotive-Electrical-Manual-Haynes-Techbook/dp/1850106541

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and I have a iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1 that I just recently jailbroke. I was wondering if there was anyway that I can sync my music to my iPhone?
Ubuntu has never been iPhone friendly. Your best bet is to install VirtualBox with Windows XP and install iTunes.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and syncing music to my iPhone through Google Play Music. It's working very well. Google Play has an Ubuntu music manager you can download at https://play.google.com/music/listen#manager_pl. Using this application, I uploaded my entire iTunes library (up to 20,000 songs are free). Then I installed the "Melodies" app on my iPhone to stream my music. I like this app because it lets you save songs to your iPhone for offline listening. Tip: Newer iTunes songs (.m4a files) are DRM-free, so they can be easily uploaded to Google Play. Older iTunes songs (.m4p files) have DRM encoding and have to be converted first. To make the conversion, I burned these songs to a CD using iTunes (be sure to check "Include CD Text") and then imported them back into iTunes. There are other options to convert songs, but this was the easiest since I didn't have very many.
There is a library called

Social anxiety disorder is a persistent and irrational fear of situations that may involve scrutiny or judgment by others, such as at parties and other social events.
Phobia - social
People with social anxiety disorder fear and avoid situations in which they may be judged by others. It may begin in adolescence and may have to do with overprotective parents or limited social opportunities. Males and females are affected equally with this disorder.
People with social phobia are at high risk for alcohol or other drug use. This is because they may come to rely on alcohol or drugs to relax in social situations.
People with social anxiety become very anxious and self-conscious in everyday social situations. They have an intense, persistent, and chronic fear of being watched and judged by others, and of doing things that will embarrass them. They can worry for days or weeks before a dreaded situation. This fear may become so severe that it interferes with work, school, and other ordinary activities, and can make it hard to make and keep friends.
Social anxiety can be limited to one situation (such as talking to people, eating or drinking, or writing on a blackboard in front of others). Or, it may be so broad that the person experiences anxiety around almost everyone other than family members.
Physical symptoms that often occur include:
Social anxiety disorder is different from shyness. Shy people are able to participate in social functions. Social anxiety disorder affects the ability to function in work and relationships.
Some of the most common fears of people with this disorder include:
The health care provider will look at your history of social anxiety and will get a description of the behavior from you, your family, and friends.
The goal of treatment is to help you function effectively. The success of the treatment usually depends on the severity of the phobia.
Anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications are sometimes used to help relieve the symptoms. See: Panic Disorder for more information about medications.
Behavioral treatment may have long-lasting benefits:
Lifestyle changes may help reduce how often the attacks occur.
The outcome is often good with treatment. Antidepressant medications can also be effective.
Call your health care provider or mental health professional if fear is affecting your work and relationships with others.

What is motivating people who clearly have little to no understanding of anything related to computer science, programming, or general use of computers to ask dozens of completely vague, unrelated questions? There are several of these "users" on SO (I won't point any out; if you use the site regularly, you probably know a few). They will ask questions covering four different languages, platforms, databases, technologies, etc., etc., within a couple hours. It seems as though they are bots just randomly reposting questions found elsewhere on the internet. It's bizarre. These users also almost never accept answers, and their posts have a third-grade spelling/grammar level (even for an ESL person). Why are people answering questions from these users? They clearly do not even have enough contextual knowledge to know what they are asking... it's just annoying.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
It's simple: the more questions you pump out, the higher the chance of getting upvotes, the higher your rep becomes. They either:
Regarding the poor spelling/grammar, why bother? Someone's going to clean it up anyway? Why learn English or use a spell-checker when Stack Overflow has a built-in spell checker (2k+ users and moderators)?
I have always attributed this to people who are desperately trying to teach themselves a language, but lack any sort of willingness to learn. I suspect some are also programmers who are totally unqualified for their jobs, and are trying to get the community to write their code one function at a time.
I've seen a couple of cases where the user posting the questions seems to have been doing so on behalf of a group: maybe the whole company, maybe a number of colleagues or classmates. This may have been due to the other members of the group not being fluent in English.
I know of at least one SO member who has posted 476 questions in 425 tags and has 64 badges, including a Famous Question.
Only one answer, though.
Whether they are real users or bots, I say let them pump. They are a veritable gold mine of interview weed-out questions.
I understand and agree to an extent about them wasting community resources, but unless that waste is significant - to the point where they're competing for front-page space with "good" questions - I see them as being mostly harmless. And, as stated above, they do have a certain value, even if it's not the kind of value that the author expects.
This is hardly unique to the SO family. I've been on numerous other forums where users ask very basic (or scattershot) questions that could usually be easily answered with some searching. I suspect that posting a question is the first thing they think to do, either due to ignorance or laziness.
Granted, sometimes it is legitimately tricky business to find the information you are looking for, so posting the question to a forum or the like will be more likely to produce results.
Also, the site's primary language being English may cause difficulty for those who are not native English speakers. Not being well versed in the language can result in somewhat broken text that is sometimes difficult for native English speakers to comprehend - it does go both ways.

Cervical Cancer Health Center
Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy
How It Is Done continued...
If areas of abnormal tissue are found on the cervix, your doctor will take a small sample (cervical biopsy) of the tissue. Usually several samples are taken. The samples are looked at under a microscope for changes in the cells that may mean cancer may be present or is likely to develop. If bleeding occurs, a special liquid (Monsel's) or silver nitrate swab may be used on the biopsy area to stop the bleeding.
If a sample of tissue is needed from inside the opening of the cervix (the endocervical canal), a test called endocervical curettage (ECC) will be done. Since the endocervical canal cannot be seen by the colposcope, a small sharp-edged tool called a curette is gently put into the endocervical canal to take a sample. ECC takes less than a minute to do and may cause mild cramping. An ECC is not done during pregnancy.
Colposcopy and a cervical biopsy usually take about 15 minutes.
How It Feels
You may feel some discomfort when the vaginal speculum is inserted. You may feel a pinch and have some cramping if a biopsy sample is taken.
In rare cases, a cervical biopsy can cause an infection or bleeding. Bleeding can usually be stopped by using a special liquid or swab on the area.
After the test
If you have a biopsy, you may feel some soreness in your vagina for a day or two. Some vaginal bleeding or discharge is normal for up to a week after a biopsy. The discharge may be dark-colored if Monsel's solution was used. You can use a sanitary pad for the bleeding. Do not douche, have sex, or use tampons for one week, to allow time for your cervix to heal. Do not exercise for 1 day after your colposcopy.
Follow any instructions your doctor gave you. Call your doctor if you have:
- Heavy vaginal bleeding (more than a normal menstrual period).
- A fever.
- Belly pain.
- Bad-smelling vaginal discharge.
Colposcopy is a way for your doctor to use a special magnifying device to look at your vulva, vagina , and cervix.
Your doctor will talk to you about what he or she sees at the time of the colposcopy. Lab results from a biopsy may take several days or more.
The vinegar or iodine does not show any areas of abnormal tissue. The vagina and cervix look normal.
A biopsy sample does not show any abnormal cells.
The vinegar or iodine shows areas of abnormal tissue. Sores or other problems, such as genital warts or an infection, are found in or around the vagina or cervix.
A biopsy sample shows abnormal cells. This may mean cervical cancer is present or likely to develop.

Although receiving a donor heart can save your life, having a heart transplant has many risks. The most significant risk is your body rejecting the donor heart.
Your immune system will see your donor heart as a foreign object that's not supposed to be in your body. Your immune system will try to attack your donor heart. Although all people who receive a heart transplant receive immunosuppressants — medications that reduce the activity of the immune system — nearly 25 percent of heart transplant recipients still have some signs of rejection during the first year after transplantation.
Usually the rejection is without any symptoms and requires only an adjustment of medications. If you miss doses of medications, however, the rejection can be severe and very serious. It's important that transplant recipients follow the instructions outlined by their doctors.
To determine whether your body is rejecting the new heart, you'll have frequent biopsies of the new heart for several months after your transplant. During the biopsy, a tube is inserted into a vein in your neck or groin and directed to your heart. A biopsy device is run through the tube to extract a tiny sample of heart tissue, which is examined in a lab.
Because rejection is most likely to occur in the first few months after heart transplantation, the frequency of heart biopsies is greatest during this early period. It's possible you'd have signs or symptoms that your body is rejecting your donor heart. These signs and symptoms could include:
Other risks after your heart transplant include:

I've heard swarming mentioned in the context of Agile or Extreme Programming. It seems to be a complement to pairing.
What exactly is it? When should it be applied? How do you do it well?
I've heard swarming mentioned in the context of Agile or Extreme Programming. It seems to be a complement to pairing.
What exactly is it? When should it be applied? How do you do it well?
The idea is that everyone on your team works on the same story at the same time. Instead of everyone focusing on different tasks, everyone focuses on one task at a time until it's completed. Then they move on to the next thing, where they all work together on it.
This helps team that struggle completing stories before the end of sprint. Often teams finish 80% of all the stories, but none are complete. This is less useful than completely finishing 80% of the stories, since unfinished stories have (effectively) no value to an end user. It's easier to get stories completed when everyone on the team is focusing on one story at a time. This is the motivation behind swarming.
There are some difficulties here. For instance, QA can't always test things before they are built (or even designed). In this case, you should establish a design together early on, and then QA can write (initially failing) tests against the design and not the actual implementation.
Swarming just refers to the fact that multiple people work together to complete a task or story. In my experience this isn't something you do often.
Typically, each member of my team works on a different task and/or different story. If someone is falling behind, or if there's a desire to finish a task or story early, other people will stop working on other tasks and "swarm" to complete the task, which means they all work together on a single task or story until it is completed.
We recently had a small number of stories that was some fairly boring, uninteresting work. I gave the team a small incentive (pizza) and deadline (end of the day) to finish the work, so they swarmed on the story and knocked out at least a couple days of work in one afternoon. They got the work done and out of the way early, then each team member went back to whatever they were working on. They got a free lunch, I got work done early that could have dragged on due to it's dull nature, and the team got ahead of their sprint. Win-win-win.
"Swarming" is nothing more than a fancy term for "hey, let us help you with that".

Just saw this on fatwallet.com. Great deal!
GREAT deal if you are looking for a media tablet!
What timing!!!! I just paid $314. a week ago! How crappy can that be??
I wonder how many people are not going to read the part about the coupon code?
the code works for both versions!
@lude55: I'm sure with a phone call you can get yourself a credit. There are probably a lot of pissed off people in your shoes.
In for one, non-adsupported version wasn't much more expensive. Thanks!
Discover Card owners get 5% cash back on all online purchases up to $1500, so keep that in mind. Discover recently started matching American Express' "we double the manufacturer's warranty up to an extra year" program too.
This deal is too good to pass up.
Discover card users also get 1-day shipping free w/ code: DSCVRHSP
@lude55: From what I hear their giving credit...give them a call.
I'd be shocked if they gave credit. They stopped doing this about 3 years ago and have held fast to it. Even as a Prime member, they won't do it on stuff even if the price dropped overnight by a significant amount. Just my experience, maybe you'll use a nice tone on the shoe phone.
Just got off the phone with Amazon customer service. They said that, unfortunately, the 1-day shipping code for Discover card users is NOT available for the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" tablet. She told me that it wouldn't even ship until the 17th (just ordered one 15 minutes ago), so they're probably getting slammed with orders for these.
I just called Amazon because I purchased a Kindle Fire HD on Dec. 4th and asked them if they would refund $50 since they went in sale and they were happy to!

What is the rotational symmetry group of $\mathbb{Q}\times \mathbb{Q}$, the subset of the real plane consisting of rational points? i.e. are there infinite rotations, is this a named group ?
Let $G$ denote the group of rotations of the plane fixing the set of rational points. This group has multiple "names":
Here, I want to justify the isomorphisms of $G$ with $\mathbb{Q}(i)^\times / \mathbb{Q}^\times$ and $\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z} \oplus \bigoplus_{i=1}^\infty \mathbb{Z}$: the argument is a combination of quid's answer and the comments to his answer.
The group $G$ is the group of matrices $\begin{pmatrix} x & -y \cr y & x \end{pmatrix}$ with $x,y \in \mathbb{Q}$ satisfying $x^2+y^2=1$. We identify this group with the elements of norm one of the multiplicative group $\mathbb{Q}(i)^\times$ assigning to the above matrix the element $x+iy$. There is a surjective group homomorphism $$ q \colon \mathbb{Q}(i)^\times \longrightarrow G $$ mapping $a$ to $q(a) = a \cdot \overline{a}^{-1}$, where $\overline{a}$ is the complex conjugate of $a$. The kernel of $q$ is $\mathbb{Q}^\times$, so that we obtain $G \simeq \mathbb{Q}(i)^\times / \mathbb{Q}^\times$. To conclude we analyze the group $\mathbb{Q}(i)^\times / \mathbb{Q}^\times$.
Every element of $\mathbb{Q}(i)^\times$ can be written uniquely as a product of powers of primes of $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ times a unit (of $\mathbb{Z}[i]$). As is well-known, the splitting of the primes of $\mathbb{Z}$ in $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ is of one of three different kinds:
Using unique factorisation in $\mathbb{Z}[i]$, we encode elements of $\mathbb{Q}(i)^\times$ by the exponents of their prime factors (the units are irrelevant for our purposes). We obtain that the contributions of the three kinds of primes to $\mathbb{Q}(i)^\times / \mathbb{Q}^\times$ are
Over the reals one has a parametrization of the rotations given by $$ \begin{pmatrix} \cos t & - \sin t \\ \sin t & \cos t \end{pmatrix} $$
In other words $$ \begin{pmatrix} x & - y \\ y & x \end{pmatrix} $$ with $x^2 + y^2 =1$ with reals $x,y$. Now if one wishes to restrict to the rationals one asks for rational solutions of $x^2 + y^2 =1$ (every such solution will give a rotation and one must not have any irrational entries in the matrix; also cf. André Henriques answer). There is a well-know rational parametrization of these solutions given by $$ x(t) = \frac{1-t^2}{1+t^2} \, , \, y(t) = \frac{2t}{1+t^2} $$ with $t$ rational and the one additional solution $(-1, 0)$. (The geometric idea is that the $t$ is the slope of a line through $(-1, 0)$ and the respective solution the other intersection point of this line with the circle.) So one would get all the rotations as $$ \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1-t^2}{1+t^2} & - \frac{2t}{1+t^2} \\ \frac{2t}{1+t^2} & \frac{1-t^2}{1+t^2} \end{pmatrix} $$ and $$ \begin{pmatrix} -1 & 0\\ 0 & -1 \end{pmatrix} $$ This is also closey related to parametrization of Pythagorean triples.
For every solution of the equation $x^2+y^2=1$, $x,y\in \mathbb Q$, the matrix $$ \begin{pmatrix} x & y \\\ -y & x \end{pmatrix} $$ is a rotation that maps $\mathbb Q^2$ to itself.
An example is given by the rotation $$ \begin{pmatrix} \textstyle\frac45 & \textstyle\frac35 \\\ \textstyle-\frac35 & \textstyle\frac45 \end{pmatrix} $$ which has infinite order, and thus provides an answer to your second question.
I might as well add another two interpretations of this group from the theory of algebraic tori - this should make the isomorphism between $SO_2(\mathbb{Q})$ and $\mathbb{Q}[i]^\times/\mathbb{Q}^\times$ mentioned in another answer look a bit more natural. The group you seek is the group of rational points of the norm torus of the field extension $\mathbb{Q}[i]/\mathbb{Q}$, and it is also the group of rational points of the quotient of the Weil restriction (along the same extension) of the multiplicative group by the counit subgroup.
Recall that restriction of scalars (also known as Weil restriction) of the multiplicative group $\mathbb{G}_m$ along $\mathbb{Q}[i]/\mathbb{Q}$ produces a two dimensional algebraic torus, that in particular is a subgroup of $GL_{2,\mathbb{Q}}$. The restriction of determinant to this subgroup is called the norm map, and its kernel (i.e., the intersection with $SL_2$) is the norm torus. The norm torus is equal to $SO_2$ as an algebraic subgroup of $SL_2$ - this is special to $\mathbb{Q}[i]$ among quadratic extensions, as other quadratic fields have norms that are not isomorphic to the standard diagonal quadratic form.
Since restriction of scalars is right adjoint to base change, you get a counit homomorphism $\mathbb{G}_{m, \mathbb{Q}} \to \operatorname{Res}_{\mathbb{Q}}^{\mathbb{Q}[i]} \mathbb{G}_{m, \mathbb{Q}[i]}$ of group schemes. The resulting quotient is an anisotropic rank one torus whose rational points are in natural bijection with elements of $\mathbb{Q}[i]^\times/\mathbb{Q}^\times$.
An isomorphism between these two descriptions can be seen by passing to character lattices as Galois modules (this passage is an antiequivalence - see SGA3 Exp. 9). The character lattice of $\mathbb{G}_m$ is a copy of $\mathbb{Z}$ with trivial action, and restriction of scalars corresponds to taking a tensor product with the group ring of the Galois group (i.e., it is the induced representation - there is also a way to think of this as a pushforward of étale sheaves on the corresponding spectra of fields). The norm torus construction corresponds to taking the quotient by the invariant sublattice, and the counit quotient corresponds to taking the Galois anti-invariant sublattice. As abstract Galois modules, both character lattices are free of rank one with isotropy group equal to the absolute Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}[i]$.
You can show that there are elements of infinite order by noting that $m$th roots of unity have degree $\phi(m)$ for all $m \geq 1$, so you only have to find a point that is neither a 4th root of unity nor a 6th root of unity. Any nondegenerate Pythagorean triple will suffice to produce a suitable rotation, and there is a neat characterization of such triples using cohomology given in this MathOverflow answer.

"60 Minutes" reporter on pattycake Obama/Hillary interview: They knew we weren't going to "play gotcha" with them
posted at 9:31 am on January 29, 2013 by Allahpundit
Via the Daily Caller, it's one thing to softball an interview with The One so badly that even liberals are calling it "state-run media propaganda," it's another to go on TV and congratulate yourself for doing it. Kroft and Morgan sound like two gossip reporters chattering over one of them having finally landed a Brangelina interview, replete with cooing over "body language." To appreciate how embarrassing it was, read Conor Friedersdorf's transcript of each question asked by Kroft during the segment — but make sure to read to the end or else you'll miss the contrast with what Scott Pelley asked Bush when he interviewed him for the same show in 2007. When Kroft says "60 Minutes" doesn't "play gotcha," what he means is that they're willing to use precious time with the current president and secretary of state to ask things like this:
You said the staff took a little longer to ignore, to forget the campaign stuff. What about the spouses? Is that an impertinent question?
"Is that an impertinent question?" deserves to be etched in granite above the entrance to the Newseum's eventual "Media in the Age of Obama" exhibit. Morgan, in fact, goes so far as to praise Kroft for not reminding Obama and Hillary how nasty the 2008 primary got. This is the moment we've arrived at as a culture, when a CBS News reporter's failure to ask uncomfortable questions of top government officials isn't dereliction of duty but rather "very gentlemanly" in the eyes of a primetime CNN host. Obama wanted a big audience for a joint interview with Hillary because he wanted to remind people who are grumbling about the lack of diversity in his cabinet that he did, after all, appoint the most famous and popular woman in American politics to a key position. So he chose "60 Minutes" and made the calculated gamble that even an outfit with a reputation for hard-hitting "serious journalism" would go weak-kneed at the chance to chat with both of them and end up treating the whole thing like a "People magazine" interview. You win, Barry.
Exit question: Why is Morgan interviewing Kroft at all here? Is gaining an audience with He and She so magnificent an experience that it qualifies as news in itself? Coming soon: Anderson Cooper interviews Piers Morgan about what it was like to interview Steve Kroft about his interview with Obama and Hillary.

Hello, I'm just starting in 360VR Photography. Which DSLR is the best set or should I go ?
My doubt is between the Canon 7D or the Nikon D300S ?
I was almost decided to go for the Nikon D300S with Nikkor 10.5.
But after reading a lot of reviews and watching some Full HD videos made with the Canon 7D I'm changing my decision for Canon.
I'm just not sure which lens should I take. I've read old posts and didn't got a decision. I'm arriving in NYC next Monday, so any help will be greatly appreciated !
I will shoot mainly spherical, 360x180, real estate virtual tours. I want to take less shots as possible, because in the future I will start shooting other subjects in crowded areas.
If I decide for the Nikon I will take the Nikkor 10.5.
But for the Canon 7D which lens should I go ?
Sigma 8mm
Tokina 10-17mm
Canon 10-22mm
For the pano head I ordered a NN5 with RD16.
For the tripod I will take a Manfrotto 055CXPRO4.
Thank you very much for your attention !

extraParams for ALL crud operations?
How can I get extraParams passed for store api crud operations other than only Read operations?
Example, I have a string that i want to pass back to the server, in addition to the other Create/Update/Delete data, to validate against to prevent cross site request forgeries.
Everything is just fine with read operations and works peachy.
23 Aug 2012 8:41 AM #2
I don't really think that would fit into RPC concept. The idea is to have transparent mapping between server and client methods; there is no default mechanism for passing metadata. That said, it should be possible to do with some custom hacks but I doubt that it makes sense to implement on the framework level.
Also, it's not necessary to do this for XSS prevention. Typical session tokens stored in HttpOnly cookies are a lot easier to implement and they provide good enough protection. At least, I can't think of any practical scenario for XSS attack in that case.
24 Aug 2012 12:57 PM #3
I found a solution that works excellently, overriding the remoting provider to add another base field to the json packet for every call without needing to rely on extraParams
4 Feb 2013 5:49 AM #4
Could you give your solution I am interested...
8 Feb 2013 10:48 AM #5
If my apps require it and set a certain flag, when I return the API, I inject a little snippet to the end of the API.
PHP Code:
* @output true
private void function useCSRF(){
WriteOutput("Ext.direct.RemotingProvider.override( { getCallData: function(transaction){ return { action: transaction.action, method: transaction.method, data: transaction.data, type: 'rpc', tid: transaction.id, csrftoken: '" & CSRFGenerateToken() & "' }; } } );");
WriteOutput("Ext.direct.RemotingProvider.override({sendFormRequest: function(transaction){Ext.apply(transaction.params, { csrftoken : '" & CSRFGenerateToken() & "' }); Ext.Ajax.request({url: this.url,params: transaction.params,callback: this.onData,scope: this,form: transaction.form,isUpload: transaction.isUpload,transaction: transaction});}});");

I've got one that's doing the ol' dribble for a few minutes after flush. Ran out to the store today to get new seals with the plan of replacing the inlet seals and scraping out the gunk. However, it appears you can't buy just seals any more. Everything is a complete inlet side replacement. With how cheap they are, no surprise, the seals used to cost nearly that much! However, other than a couple that listed very specific toilets they say "fit almost all toilets"... Is this one of those things you just have to buy, try, and throw away if it doesn't fit? Other than carrying the old parts into the store and trying to look at them for comparison, is there a standard?
There are a few odd flapper styles, such as American Standard (read non-standard)
Others offer flapper and seat combo
Then there are simply universal flappers of various designs
Steps to repair:
Most recent flapper attachment mechanisms are plastic rings (old style were brass with bolts) that snap around the inlet tube.
SUPPLEMENT: Based on the added comments, it sounds as if your fill valve is clogged or broken. The valve may look like this (a relatively recent type)
The arm on top rises with the float around the tube and shuts off a valve internally. On this type, the top cap can be removed by pressing down on it and rotating counterclockwise. There is often grit in the valve, right under the cap, that can interfere with its closure. You can clean out the grit, reinstall the cap, and the valve may work fine. If not, replace it for less than $10.
There are other types of fill valves, including some older brass ones that may be harder to service. It is usually easier to replace them than fix them. They are pretty standard, height being the primary difference, and there are adjustable height valves available. They install pretty easily, but be sure to check for leaks from the bottom of the tank after installation.
There are a few newer, more complicated filling and flushing mechanisms, but you would need to provide a picture for info as to how to service.
I had to replace the lever in my Toto toilet. I went to the store, asked for a lever with a dual 45 degree bend "S" in the lever. The guy got me one. I had to return it, because Toto has multiple lever models with dual 45 degree S bends in them. I never thought they were that specialized.
In short, it depends.
From my experience, most toilets with a separate tank and base that you find in a home are standard. The few exceptions I've seen are:

WEIRTON - Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has given the city $100,000 for the Panhandle Rail Trail, City Council reported Monday.
The money will be used to add two more inches of crushed limestone to a 4.6-mile section of the rail trail, extending from mile marker 39.7 to the Pennsylvania state line.
Ward 7 Councilman Terry Weigel, the city's park and recreation director, said the original limestone surface was applied "about 12 years ago now, so it's in need of new surfacing."

Celebrating the receipt of $100,000 in grant money to resurface a 4.6 mile section of the Panhandle Rail Trail were, from left, Weirton's Ward 7 Councilman and Parks Director Terry Weigel; Ward 1 Councilman Ron Jones; Mayor George Kondik; and City Manager Valerie Means. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin made the announcement Monday in Charleston with Jones and former councilman and longtime trail advocate Dave Cline in attendance. -- Linda Harris
Three student winners of Weirton's "If I Were Mayor" essay contest received plaques and checks for $125 at Monday's council meeting. The contest, sponsored by the city and First Choice American Federal Credit Union, Hancock County Schools, Strip Steel Community and Tin Mill Community credit unions, drew some 200 entries, all of which will be submitted for the statewide contest. On hand for the presentation were, front, from left, Janet Stagani, president of the Tin Mill EFCU and president of Weirton Chapter of WV Credit Unions; St. Joseph the Worker seventh-grader Nadia Korth; St. Paul seventh-grader Wesley Noble; Weir Middle seventh-grader Jacob Contley; and back, Mayor George Kondik and First Choice President and CEO Scott Winwood. -- Linda Harris
Weigel said council previously earmarked local funding in hopes of securing grant money.
Ward 1 Councilman Ron Jones, in Charleston to accept the grant award along with longtime trail proponent and former Councilman Dave Cline, said the grant was one of 36 announced by Tomblin Monday.
The funding is part of the Mountain State's 2012 Transportation Enhancement Grant Program, a federal-aid program of the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration, and is earmarked for nontraditional transportation projects such as improving safety for pedestrians and bicyclists through the construction of sidewalks and trails, acquisition of scenic or historic sites, preserving historic resources and stimulating tourism development.
"We'll try to get that surface done for the spring," Weigel said.
In other action, council also renewed appointments to the city's planning and traffic commissions as well as the zoning board.
Reappointed to the traffic commission were Romie Castelli, George Redish, Douglas Branham, Dave Guglielmo and Jan Hicks. Castelli and Redish will serve through Dec. 31, 2016; Branham, Guglielmo and Hicks will serve until Dec. 31, 2015.
Planning commission reappointments are Mary Hanna Finton and Eli Dragisich, both serving until Dec. 31, 2015, while Vince Azzarello and Mike Simon were reappointed to the zoning board, also serving through Dec. 31, 2015.
Council also signed off on an ordinance creating a new position - municipal court/legal analyst - with a minimum salary of $25,509.71 and maximum, $27,704.46.
Special recognition was given to students for their "If I Were Mayor" essays, a competition sponsored by the City and First Choice American Federal Credit Union, Hancock County Schools and Strip Steel Community and Tin Mill Community credit unions.
Presented with plaques and checks for $125 were Wesley Noble, a seventh grader at St. Paul School; Nadia Korth, a seventh grader at St. Joseph the Worker School; and Jacob Conley, seventh grader at Weir Middle School.

St. C.'s Ferns named to Under Armour All-American team
During the recruiting process for St. Clairsville junior Michael Ferns, it almost got to the point where he quit opening some of his mail because the stacks were overwhelming.
However, the University of Michigan-bound Red Devil didn't hesitate to open his mail Wednesday afternoon because there was something new waiting for him.
A package with Under Armour and ESPN printed on it certainly caught Ferns' attention.
Upon opening it, Ferns learned he'd been formally invited to take part in the 2014 Under Armour All-American Football Game at Walt Disney World in Orlando during the first weekend in January.
"To open that and read the letter was great," Ferns said. "This was one of the two things that I had been really striving for and it's exciting to know this early that I am going to be in that game."
Ferns actually learned that something might be going down, involving the game on Tuesday when he was checking his Twitter account.
"A reliable source had said something on there and we caught wind of it," Ferns said. "We talked to a couple of people, who checked on it and confirmed it, but I hadn't seen anything official and was just waiting for something to happen."
Ferns wasted little time in accepting the invitation. He quickly dialed ESPN Football Recruiting analyst Tom Luginbill, who had signed the letter Ferns received, to tell him that he "was in."
"I actually missed him the first time I tried to call and then he called me back," Ferns said.
The ESPN Under Armour All-American Game began in 2008 and has featured players such as A.J. Green, Julio Jones, Trent Richardson, Manti Te'o, Matt Barkley and Jadeveon Clowney just to name a few.
Ferns becomes the first Ohio Valley player to be chosen for any of the national all-star games.
"It's exciting to get to represent St. Clairsville, the Ohio Valley and the University of Michigan," Ferns said.
The linebacker recruit plans on graduating from St. Clairsville in December and enrolling for the winter term in Ann Arbor. So, Ferns, who is getting a jumpstart on his college process by taking post-secondary classes in the fall, will take part in the event in Florida in Jan. and then basically come home and head north.
Ferns, who committed to Michigan last August, is one of four current Wolverine recruits who've been invited and accepted the invitation to the event. He'll join future teammates Drake Harris, Bryan Mone and Wilton Speight.
The Red Devils' first-team all-Ohioan doesn't think that will be the final tally of future Wolverine in the games. Since he became the first Wolverine commit for the Class of 2014, Ferns has turned into one of the Wolverines' leading salesman to other targets.
"Our quarterback commit (Speight) was the first to be chosen and then Harris got in," Ferns said. "Just from talking to guys and knowing how the recruiting process is going, I think we'll have some other guys joining us, but it's still a matter of their decisions."
Ferns is coming off a junior campaign in which he helped lead the Red Devils to a 14-1 record and a trip to the Division IV state championship game where they fell to Clarksville Clinton-Massie. He finished with more than 100 tackles and scored eight touchdowns on offense.
Earlier this year, Ferns, who is a 4-star recruit by nearly every major recruiting website and ranking and is the second-ranked prospect in Ohio, was named a second-team All-American for the Class of 2014 by 247sports.com. Just this month, Ferns was raked 112th in the ESPN 150 rankings.

The question is simple:
What fraction of matrices in $G_n = \text{GL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$ have at least one unit entry (i.e., either $\lbrace\pm 1 \rbrace$)?
I'm not sure what the correct measure on $G_n$ would be, so here is a suggestion: for each natural number $m \geq 1$, define $G_n(m)$ to be the set of precisely those matrices in $G_n$ whose entries are bounded in absolute value by $m$ and let $H_n(m)$ be the subset of matrices which have at least one unit entry. These are finite and non-empty sets, so in particular for each $m$ the following ratio is defined: $$r_n(m) = \frac{|H_n(m)|}{|G_n(m)|}$$
Now, one can take limits (or lim-sups?) as $m \to \infty$. Again, this is only a suggested measure and it should not constrain potential answers: all reasonable measures are welcome.
I write software that pre-processes large (filtered) cell complexes via discrete Morse theory to produce smaller cell complexes with identical homology groups. Without getting into gory details, the basic idea is to greedily exploit unit incidence among cell-pairs in order to clear out the corresponding row and column from the matrix representation of a boundary operator via obvious row and column operations: once these have been cleared, these paired cells can be removed from the complex altogether.
Recently, I was handed a collection of triangulated homology $4$-spheres with tons of torsion in the fundamental groups. On these complexes, the naive greedy collapsing schemes do not produce a perfect reduced complex (i.e., with one zero-dimensional cell and four dimensional cell). In fact, the boundary matrices of the reduced complexes often contain no units at all, and this is precisely when no more collapses are possible. I would like a quantification of how often should one expect an invertible integer matrix to have exploitable units? in order to judge the performance of discrete Morse theoretic reductions on these spheres.

Right click "Save as…"
Mellanox and Microsoft bring you an informative and informational webcast on Network Direct. The ability of scientists to access the right data and apply it the right way is critical for many scientific disciplines. "The life sciences with genomic and proteonomic data, it's an explosion of information that people around the world should be able to benefit from the results that other people are gathering together," Bill Gates, Supercomputing 2005. Three years after, Microsoft has introduced a new networking interface called Network Direct, which enables high performance applications not only to be able to execute faster and handle large information databases, but also to provide efficient parallelism with effective remote data management. In the future, Network Direct might be the common interface not only for MPI based application but also for sockets and file systems. The session will provide an overview of Network Direct development and its potential benefits, a discussion of the role of Windows for MPI applications, and industry case studies.

So I have a leaking toilet and it's leaked through the ceiling drywall... is that typically caused by a leaking seal, or is it the toilet itself? It's been noticed today after we had a toilet overflow (thanks to my children :-). Where do I start the investigation, pull off the drywall and look there first?
If it's the toilet itself, you'll see water on the floor around the toilet -- water will leak from the union of the tank (backrest) and the bowl. Make sure that the tank is attached tightly to the bowl (bolts are under the joint) and that it cannot rock.
If it's the seal or the plumbing beneath it, you will see water flowing from underneath. You'll need to replace that drywall under the toilet and get it all dried out anyway to prevent mold, so you might as well pull it down.
Wax seal rings are cheap, and unless the water is coming from the tank or you see a cracked pipe in the floor, are probably what you're going to need to replace. Just go to your local home improvement store and get a "Wax Ring Kit" and you should be good to go.

Recently I have deployed 2 sites from my local development area to the live site and ran into some issues when importing the posts. The reference link for attachments still points to my localhost for some of the attachments. I would like to remove the development sites but removing them will pull down the reference to some of the live attachments.
I was curious if anyone knows best practice for resolving this issue. I know all the attachments are on the live server just the reference is missing. I used custom fields with full paths for most these posts.
I have an idea of just editing the db directly to remove the reference to the files.
Thanks in advance for all help,

The 5 Most Terrifying Rites of Passage from Around the World
#2. For Various African Tribes, Female Puberty Means House Arrest
At this point in the list, you have to wonder whether the boys or girls have it worse in these coming-of-age rituals. We can say that while the boys' rituals are often brutally dangerous, at least there is an element of badassery to them. The girls often just get locked up.
"You have been found guilty of felony possession of a vagina."
For instance, in the Baganda tribe of Uganda, girls who go through their first menstrual cycle can expect to have about as good a time of it as Carrie. It's believed that menstruation is the result of an invisible (and apparently pleasureless) interaction with a ghostly spirit. As soon as they're blessed with the first of what will become a monthly ghost visitation, the girls are locked away in a shack for two weeks, during which time they're not allowed to handle food and their grandparents educate them on sexual matters, which we're sure isn't at all an awkward experience.
Later, when the women find mates and give birth, they are secluded again for as long as 18 months to raise the baby alone, just in case they had any wise ideas about getting pregnant again. Hopefully they have Sudoku.
"What's a six-letter word for screwed from birth?"
Meanwhile, on Okrika Island, Nigeria, young females learn about the responsibilities of womanhood through the enlightening power of imprisonment and ritual humiliation. Girls who are eligible for the ritual (only virgins need apply) have their legs shackled to restrict movement, at which point they are isolated in a room in their parents' house for three weeks. Then, when they are good and stir-crazy, they are wrapped up in huge cloth skirts so that they can dance and sit in the market square in booths known as the "house of memories" decorated by the participants' families, with happy photographs of the very people who just shackled them in a room for nearly a month.
Then, on the final day of the ceremony, the girls (whose feet are still shackled together) are forced to run away from a bunch of men who chase them and hit them with sticks, allegedly to beat the water spirits out of them so that they can be free to start a family with a human. Of course, after weeks of constant trauma, there's probably nothing they're less interested in doing anyway.
#1. The Native American Trial of Horrors
The Mandan tribe really didn't mess around when it came to proving their manhood. Their rite of passage, called the okipa ceremony, basically came about when a bunch of them sat down to brainstorm the most horrible things that they could possibly do to a person.
First, the young men weren't allowed to eat, drink or sleep for four days, after which they had a friendly-sounding celebration called the bison dance. When the dance ended, that's when they had wooden poles driven through their flesh and were suspended screaming from the ceiling until they passed out, which for us would have been the moment that we heard about it happening to somebody else.
"OK, I'm unconscious."
"We haven't even put the hooks in yet."
It was only when the young warriors fainted that they were allowed to come down from the rafters. When they awoke, it was seen as a sign that they had gained approval from the spirits, and they were from that moment men. And that's when they had both of their pinkie fingers chopped off and were made to run around the camp a few times while still impaled with wooden rods and spurting fountains of blood from their hands.
It's the worst Super Soaker fight ever.
Having already won the spirits' approval, we have to assume that they just did this part for shits and giggles. And come to think of it ... we're pretty sure that's why all of these ceremonies existed.

I added a new column in the Table X
This column "cn" has to be unique and mandatory, but old data don't have any value.
How to update the existing records with sequecely or random unique data?
Thank you.
I added a new column in the Table X
This column "cn" has to be unique and mandatory, but old data don't have any value.
How to update the existing records with sequecely or random unique data?
Thank you.
Even though I think you've created the column already, in this answer I'm going on the assumption that the column does not yet exist. IMO, a unique required column should never be added without planning how to populate the existing rows first. Therefore, I will provide the methods to do this starting from zero.
How you do this depends on what is involved in populating the values.
After whichever method you use, add an unique constraint on the column to ensure data integrity. For Methods 1 and 2, this can be done within the single statement or within a user transaction (not shown), and should be done within the user transaction in Method 3.
There are probably a few other obscure ways of doing this, but I think I've covered the most common.
Method 1: Add an IDENTITY column
This will populate all rows in the table with integer values starting with the seed value (1), increasing by the increment value (2) for every row. I believe the order the values get populated is undefined (if you have to specify an order, use Method 3).
Method 2: Populate using a default constraint
This will do three things atomically: 1. Add a column that does not allow
While this example uses a
Method 3: Populate using an UPDATE statement
This case would occur when, for example, there was a value from another part of your application that needs to be added to the table, or you need to specify an exact order for the unique values.
Method 4: Populate using a SEQUENCE object
For SQL Server 2012, you can populate a column using values generated by a
If you are happy with a number starting from 1 you can use
The following updates column 'cn' with sequence number starting from 1
try this to update using a sequence... You have to do the TOP because of the order by clause in the update statement. I used this statement on SQL SERVER 2012
And if all of this still won't work (maybe because it's plain old SQL-92), you can break this down into multiple steps, as suggested by Ziggy Crueltyfree Zeitgeister, here.

Norton Internet Security 2012 is simply the BESTI was a kasperdky user for the last 5 years, I didnt like norton because it was a system hog but from the last 2 years I was getting positive reviews for norton.and finaaly i thought of giving a try to norton( though i am a fan of kaspersky)...I am trully amazed by norton now, the installation was quick it needs very less memory and doesnt slows down your pc infact my pc is acting faster then ever before. the updates are quick and simple and the main thing the firewall and antivirus are simply too good apart from that it also supports chrome and firefox so you can do your netbanking and online… (Expand)

Norton internet securityI have been using norton internet security from 3-4 years. I think this is the best anti-virus & security software and pretty cheap too. Have tried others too but not really as good as this one. Easy to install and easy to understand and easy to update. Ppl think that norton slows down PC but it does not. A few years back yes but not now.

Very GoodIt is not only an antivirus, but it is also like a pc healer and booster, it automatically scans all the programs and if any of them try to do something suspicious or even connect to the internet, it blocks them. It constantly monitors every programmer's memory usage and if abnormal reports it to you. Enable it on your bower and it tells you whether a website is clean or not as soon as you visit it, protects you from scams and frauds and if Parental control is enabled it maintains a history of what is happening on the computer and password protects it.

peace of mindThis is really a very nice securty for my computer, although I am using norton for long time. it is still true it slows the system but every job of securiy takes time, I can afford it for my syestem, although it is slightly expensive but I can trust it. It has a quality to recognize the system means get acquinted and works accordingly,it seems a live safeguard, overall it is a peace of mind.

In the early 1990s, the state faced a crisis. Valuable historic properties with proud pasts and significant architectural details were falling apart, prey to vandalism and time, and in danger of never being used again.
The two agencies that were merged into what is now known as the Department of Conservation and Recreation owned them and could not afford to keep them up, but there was a plan: find private partners who would be willing to rehab and preserve them, using their own money and sweat equity, in exchange for the chance to live in and use the properties for years without paying rent. The properties included some historic houses considered to be gems.
In 1994, the pioneering Historic Curatorship program was born, and the vacant Baker Chocolate Co. administration building in Dorchester Lower Mills, on the Milton line, was its first big test. Today that building is the Walter Baker Lofts, providing homes and studios for artists like April Clay.
The state used the success story last week to kick off Hidden Treasure Preservation Month. The series of events throughout May marks the 20th anniversary of the Historic Curatorship program, considered a model for other states and countries.
"This is one of the most successful and most unique of the curatorship projects," said Joe Orfant, bureau chief of the DCR's Planning and Resource Protection Bureau.
Since 1994, 20 properties in 13 parks across the state have been preserved, using $16 million in outside investments.
Seven private dollars have been spent for every dollar the state put in.
The partners received leases to use the properties that average 25 to 30 years, with the longest lease 60 years, Kevin Allen, who manages the historic curatorship program, said.
The month of special activities includes 50 programs – open houses, walks and tours – across the state. A dozen or more are in Greater Boston and southeastern Massachusetts.
At the kickoff event at Baker Lofts, Orfant read a proclamation from Gov. Deval Patrick stating that the state is a leader in historic preservation, has seen its programs become national models, and has protected the unique character of the commonwealth's cities and towns.

Questions on Mi Yodeya are expected to relate to Judaism within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Actually, the question is why it is spelt differently, and not why it is pronounced differently at all. If you wanted to say meshicha, you certainly could. That would be a different word, of course, though a related one. It would be spelt משיחה.
For words that end in -ach, orthographic convention has us conclude them with the chet. This is also the case for words ending in -'a (such as רקיע) and in -ah, where the final ה is consonantal (such as אלוהּ).
The reason for all of these is that the final vowel/consonant combination is not preceded by a phonological alef, but by a rounding off of the previous vowel. Hence, mashi(y)ach, raqi(y)a and elo(w)ah.
