Native American Life on the Great Plains
6 of 11
The introduction of horses to Native American people on the Great Plains had a huge impact on their culture, improving their ability to hunt, fight, and travel. Horses were introduced to the Plains people by the Spanish in the 18th century. Acquiring horses allowed Native Americans greater mobility---former agriculture-based tribes of the river valleys became nomadic hunters, creating a new life on the Plains.
Fun Fact: Plains people bred and traded horses with other Indian Nations.

How can I remove custom post type slug from my base url ? for eg : mywebsiteurl.com/custom-post-slug/postname I would like to make it mywebsiteurl.com/postname instead .
I'm not sure why you would want to do this in the first place or need custom post types. Removing the post type name from the URL completely would most likely cause conflicts between posts and pages. One way would be to have your permalinks just /%postname% (change in Settings > Permalinks on the dashboard).
In the code of which you register your custom post type there is a rewrite property which lets you change the slug value from post-type-name/post-name (the post-type-name bit) to something else using
As far as I know, there is no standard out-of-the-box solution to remove it completely, not having a slug wouldn't make any sense, so I don't forsee such functionality being added into the core. Having said that, if you must remove it, this blog post details a solution for removing it. I'm not sure how well it works but appears to work based on what I've seen and will do what you're asking.

Two state wildlife management areas in southeast Nebraska along the Missouri River have reopened to public access.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission said Hamburg Bend in Otoe County and Tobacco Island in Cass County have reopened.
The wildlife management area had been closed so the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers could repair levies and river chutes. The work is completed, and the areas are open to hunting, fishing and other allowable uses.
Hamburg Bend includes 1,576 acres in Otoe County and 321 acres in Fremont County, Iowa. It was part of a federal habitat restoration project completed in 1996.
It provides shallow water habitat, as well as bird watching, hiking, fishing and hunting activities to foot traffic.

ExtDesigner/linux and bundled qt libs
Dear all,
I found that ExtDesigner have bundled out-of-date qt libraries (linked to out-of-date libs), such a build wouldn't work out-of-the-box in most of recent distributions. Is there a reason to bundle qt and get a large size of the package?
(I've linked $ext/lib/lib*ext.so to my actual /usr/lib64/ libraries and ExtDesigner starts Ok)
1 Apr 2010 11:47 AM #2
We distributed a custom build of Qt 4.6.1. This was the release that we tested on. Qt 4.6.1 was released on Jan 19 2010.
The latest build of Qt is 4.6.2 and was released on Feb 15 2010.
Qt is bundled because many distributions provide very outdated builds of Qt (like 4.3) and we are using features that are only available in 4.5+.
Feel free to use your own .so's as they should be binary compatible.Aaron Conran

Although not physically perfect, a reasonable mathematical model for a bubble's shape is that it minimizes surface area subject to fixed volume.
A single floating bubble is usually a sphere, but bubbles only need to find local minima, not global minima. This makes more complicated bubble shapes possible.
In a YouTube video, a performer discusses making a cubical compartment inside a complicated bubble. Is this possible in a bubble with finitely-many compartments and no wires or other framework to provide additional boundary conditions?

Really wanted Zaheer. My plan to just try and draft a new attack went so badly, everyone else retained at least one bowler and then all the Test-standard ones starting going in round one.

Every one of England and South Africa's front line seamers had been taken before I had my first pick. And the only Australian ones remaining where Hilfenhaus and Cummins.

Well then **** bowlers.
People need to stop ****ing up my plans or I'll just have to draft an awesome team again and lol
Was kind of hoping Murali would slip through with the not playing FC since 2010 lark. Ah well.
I really hoped to get Pattinson in round 1 and a batsman in round 2 but Pattinson was the first guy picked much to my surprise. Have had to do some quick thinking and rearguard action to recover from that slip up.

The whole draft and retentions thing is bonkers. Should have been allowed to retain well more than 4 tbh. But more importantly I'm a bit confused.

12 Spine-Tingling Halloween Movies for Teensby Lindsay Hutton
Older kids can handle a little bit of fright on Halloween, right? Check out this list of spooky movies that are just scary enough for older kids. They're all rated PG-13, but don't let that fool you— they'll still leave your teen with goose bumps!
1 of 13
A Tim Burton movie is always perfect for Halloween! Newlyweds Barbara and Adam Maitland (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) are both killed in a freak car accident. Very sad, of course, but at least they get to go to heaven, right?
Wrong. Thanks to centuries of bureaucratic red tape, they find a long waiting list when they get to the pearly gates. In order to earn their wings, they both must spend the next 50 years as ghosts haunting their old home.
When they get to their home, they find it's been bought by an insufferable yuppie couple. Aghast at having to spend 50 years occupying the same space with the unbearable, they do their best to scare them out. When that doesn't work, they hire veteran scaremeister Beetlejuice.
Yellow-haired, snaggle-toothed and profane, Beetlejuice is certainly scary. But he's also untrustworthy, especially when he falls in love with the yuppies' gloomy, black-clad teenage daughter, Lydia (Winona Ryder).
Are his antics worth the price?

This question about chain maintenance during touring raised this quetion.
This tip sounds very unintuitive, of course, I know that the extra lube will attract dust (not good to chain) but I have paid for the lube. My biased view is that when I just drive fast enough it will just get away (using liquid Teflon lube) but I don't want to limit this question only to Teflon lube. Please, tell me should you really wipe extra lubricant from your chains? How should you wipe it? Is piece of WC-paper enough? What does the term
to wipe really mean? Do you wipe things similarly with all kind of lubes? Please, note that there is a huge variety of lubes, more here.


text: Okay, this is my fourth tut! Sorry I haven't done one in a while, so hopefully this should redeem me!!! This is a ver simple cat in anime style, so you can do whatever to it that makes it yours. I haven't put the marking into the tut, so you can mess around with it, and experiment with how you want to do the markings. Enjoy!

Hip Fracture Prevention - Hip Protectors
Medical Author: William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Breaking the bones of the hip (hip fracture) is common in the elderly. This is a result of two major factors that affect older people: (1) an increased risk of falling because of poor stability (from a decrease in muscle, joint, and nerve function) and poor vision; and (2) weak bones that break easily because of osteoporosis.
It has been estimated that 250,000 (a quarter of a million) people in the United States suffer hip fractures each year!
A hip fracture is a terrible injury. It typically requires major surgery for repair. Operations involve either metal pinning with screws and/or plates or replacement of the hip joint with artificial parts. These operations can be complicated by infections, blood clotting, bleeding, and failure of the repair work. After such a surgical procedure, long and aggressive rehabilitation programs are necessary for optimal success. For the very frail, elderly person, ultimate recovery can be extremely difficult and long-term loss of independence, nursing-home placement, and even death can result.
Prevention of hip fractures is a key part of caring for the health of the elderly. Elderly people can take measures to decrease their own risk for hip fractures. These measures include participating in regular, proper exercise, "clearing the runway" in homes for walking and transferring, undergoing regular general and eye-health checkups, and addressing osteoporosis (bone-density exams, calcium and vitamin D intake, and osteoporosis medications when indicated).

It is known a version of Adjoint Functor Theorem for locally presentable categories, which says that a functor between such categories has a left adjoint iff it is continous (i.e. preserves all limits) and accessible (preserves $\lambda$-filtered colimits for some cardinal $\lambda$) (see for this Theorem 1.66 of J. Adamek, J. Rosicky, "Locally Presentable and Accessible Categories", London Math. Soc. Lecture Notes, Cambridge, 1994). My question is then to find an example of a continous functor between locally presentable categories which is not accessible.
The following example was coincidentally mentioned by André Joyal on the categories mailing list today; he attributed it to Mac Lane. For every infinite cardinal number k, let $G_k$ be a simple group of cardinality k. Define the functor ML: Group → Set to be the product of all the representable functors $\mathrm{Hom}(G_k,-)$. Since no group can admit a nontrivial homomorphism from proper-class-many of the $G_k$, this functor does indeed land (or can be redefined to land) in Set. Since it is a product of representables, it is continuous (and of course Group and Set are locally presentable), but it is not itself representable (hence has no left adjoint).
Not really an answer, but here's what I know:
relationship with Vopenka's principle
the weak Vopenka's principle
Assuming the weak Vopenka's principle, every full and faithful continuous functor has a left adjoint (this is in fact equivalent to it: Theorem 6.22 in the Adamek-Rosicky book). So, under this assumption, you need to look for a non fully faithful continuous functor.
accessibility and the solution set condition
In general, a functor $F \colon A \to B$ between accessible categories is accessible iff the induced functor between the corresponding arrow categories: $$\overrightarrow{F} \colon \overrightarrow{A} \to \overrightarrow{B}$$ satisfies the solution set condition (as in Freyd's General Adjoint Functor Theorem).
Now, under the strong Vopenka's principle, we have the stronger
This is in Rosicky, Tholen - Accessibility and the solution set condition - JPAA
This coupled with the above, yields that the reflective subcategory is in fact locally presentable. Even more,
All of the examples I know of about continuous functors not satisfying the solution set condition tend to make essential use of size in the domain category (those in MacLane, for example), none of them being locally presentable.
the dual problem
I'm pretty sure you know this, but anyway: the dual problem ($F$ having a right adjoint) is straightforward: locally presentable categories are total, and for total categories $F$ has a right adjoint iff it is cocontinuous

WACO (January 22, 2013)—Investigators are trying to determine whether the robbery of a man Sunday night in a home in a Waco neighborhood was related to an attempted robbery of two women in an apartment parking lot earlier Sunday night.
A man armed with a shotgun confronted the two women at around 8:20 p.m. Sunday in the parking lot of the University Club apartments in the 1700 block of Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard and demanded money.
The would-be robber left empty-handed and got into a car with another person and drove off.
The robber was black and about 6-foot-2, but no other description was available.
Two hours later a 57-year-old man was robbed after answering a knock at the door of his home in the 1800 block of Pine Avenue.
The robber was also armed with a shotgun, but was Hispanic.
He was wearing dark clothing and a black ski mask, police said.

I have XY coordinate data of water depth (n = 30) where each coordinate has water depth attribute data for multiple dates from 2000 to 2007. I have imported the data in r for statistical analysis. I want to analyze water depth across different time periods of the year. My dates are as column headings, for example: coordinates, date1, date2, date3,date4 etc and the depth is under date column headings. What statistical methods should I use to analyze and plot the information?
A better answer is certainly possible if you could provide an example data set or more clarity on the term 'analysis'.
That said, if you already have your data in R, an excellent place to start is with the spatstat package. It has wonderful documentation on how to analyze point data that will give you insight into the full range of options.
If this seems like overkill to you, a relatively simple approach (assuming that the multiple dates are the same for all of your observations) would be to interpolate a surface for each time period being sure to define your surface so that raster cells are consistent (e.g. they line up exactly when overlaid on top of one another) then do an analysis of means, mins, maxes etc for each raster cell.
A quick example of doing interpolation on point data using the meuse data set can be found here:
Once you have the rasters for each time period the raster math should be relatively straightforward using the operators from the raster package The rasters you produce from this analysis will give you something to work with at least.

In my program (it is for a homework assignment), I load in a model which is a bunch of vertices and normals etc into a struct I have. When drawing it, I pass the model to a function
void drawModel(Model model). Doing that gives me this error:
Run-Time Check Failure #0 - The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function call. This is usually a result of calling a function declared with one calling convention with a function pointer declared with a different calling convention.
I was looking around, and one answer seemed to be that it was because what I'm passing is too large and it's messing up the compiler. So I tried changing it so the
drawModel function accepts a pointer to the struct (which I should've done to begin with...), but as soon as I access it in the function I get that error.
How can I get around this? And why is this happening?
Here's the entire function
void drawModel(Model * model)
int i, g; //i is the main iterator, g keeps track of what part we're on
int edge; //The current edge we're on
g = 0;
for(i = 0; i < (model->faceCount); i++) //This is just to test why it's occuring
glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, model->vertices);
glNormalPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, model->normals);
for(i = 0; i < (model->faceCount); i++) //Right here is where i get the error
if(i == model->parts[g])
//Set colour to the part colour
glDrawElements(GL_POLYGON, model->faces[i].edges, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,
Note: I've never used GL vertex arrays before, this is my first attempt.
I was calling drawModel like so:

Opta City: City v Barnsley in numbers
- 08 March 2013 10:23
- Posted by @NieldyMCFC / Words by @OptaCity
Adam Carter from statistical wizards and must-follow on Twitter @OptaCity previews tomorrow's clash with the Tykes.
Manchester City find themselves one victory away from a fourth Wembley appearance in the last 3 years, this time in the guise of Championship side Barnsley. The Tykes will be looking to continue their fine cup form having won in both of the previous rounds of the FA Cup away from home.
The Blues are facing Barnsley for the 33rd time in all competitions. City have won 16 (50.00%) of the previous 32 encounters, drawing 10 (31.25%) and losing on just 6 (18.75%) occasions.
At home, City have only failed to score against Barnsley once and that was back in March 1910! The Champions have a fairly solid record against the Tykes on home soil, winning a whopping 11 (64.71%) of the previous 17 matches, drawing 4 (23.53%) and losing just twice (11.76%).
City have scored a huge 53 goals against Barnsley at home, in all competitions, which results in a crazy average of 3.11 goals per game (gpg), in fact the Champions have scored 12 goals in the last 2 home meetings alone! The visitors have breached the Manchester City backline on a mere 19 occasions (1.11 gpg), with the Blues keeping 4 clean sheets (23.53%) along the way.
Taking a look at City's overall record in the world's oldest cup competition, this is their 146th home fixture in the FA Cup and 335th game in total. The Blues have scored 585 FA cup goals (1.74 gpg) and have conceded 421 (1.25 gpg).
At home in this competition, City have won 84 (57.93%), drawn 30 (20.69%) and lost 31 (21.38%). The Blues have scored 304 goals (2.09 gpg) at home in the FA Cup and have conceded 152 (1.04 gpg). The Champions have failed to score on only 24 (16.55%) occasions at home and have kept clean sheets in 58 (40.00%).
City have fared quite well in the FA Cup in recent years, highlighted mostly by the fact that the Blues have reached at least the quarter-final stage in 4 of the last 8 campaigns.
At the Etihad Stadium, City have only lost 3 (16.67%) FA Cup fixtures from the 18 played. The Champions have scored 38 goals (2.1 gpg) at the Etihad Stadium in FA Cup, with a whopping 22 (57.89%) of those coming under the stewardship of Roberto Mancini.
City fans will be wary of a cup upset based on the fact that it was a Championship side in Nottingham Forest who inflicted the Blue's heaviest defeat in a 3-0 loss in January 2009. That defeat to Forest was also the last time City failed to scored in an FA Cup match, a club record run stretching back 16 games.
Mancini's men have only conceded 4 goals in their last 10 FA Cup matches and have kept 8 (57.14%) clean sheets in the 14 FA Cup ties under the Italian. Roberto Mancini will also have one eye on the chance to keep up his own personal record of reaching at least one cup semi-final in every single season of his managerial career.

RALEIGH — T.J. Warren has been one of the most efficient players in the Atlantic Coast Conference. It was a good thing for North Carolina State that the freshman forward was back in the groove Sunday night.
Combined with some clutch play from a couple of veterans down the stretch, Warren's 21 points helped carry the 14th-ranked Wolfpack past stubborn Clemson 66-62 at PNC Arena.
"Just (trying to) be a spark off the bench," Warren said. "I've been in the gym. I wanted to bounce back."
Warren was scoreless for the second time in three games in Wednesday night's one-point loss at Maryland, where he shot 0-for-6 from the floor. So he entered the game with 21 total points in four ACC games despite leading the conference in individual field-goal percentage.
"Part of being a freshman is that you go through some ups and downs," said N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried. "(This game) was like a lot of his nights. He has been really efficient."
Warren and classmate Rodney Purvis, who scored 11 points, kept the host Wolfpack (15-3 overall, 4-1 ACC) on track for long stretches.
Then senior forward Richard Howell muscled in for a tie-breaking three-point play to send N.C. State to a 60-57 edge. Senior guard Scott Wood connected on 5 of 6 free throws in the last 28 seconds. Howell and Wood finished with 11 points apiece.
Clemson had a chance to tie with 10 seconds left, but it had turnovers on its last two possessions — the first of those in the backcourt.
So it was a rather harrowing late-game stretch for N.C. State.
"I feel like we got away with one," Wood said. "The main thing for us was getting those stops at the end."
Senior forward Devin Booker scored a career-high 27 points for Clemson (10-7, 2-3), which never led in the game. The Tigers were denied in their attempt to produce a three-game winning streak for the first time this season.
Gottfried turned 49 years old Sunday and he might have aged a little more during what he described as a grinding game. He's 4-2 all-time as a head coach on his birthday.
"The cake will taste a lot better, I'm sure," he said.

47-year-old Steven Paul Harston was arrested Wednesday afternoon in connection with the June 20, 2012 robbery of American Bank and Trust on Fairview Avenue.
Bowling Green Police say he was arrested on Shive Lane without incident.
BGPD says it considers Harston a strong suspect in multiple bank robberies in south central Kentucky and northern Tennessee.
BGPD, in cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Investigations, continues to search for evidence and information regarding other robberies.
Harston is in the Warren County Regional Jail on Robbery 1st degree charges.

Suppose $X$ is an algebraic variety and let $Z \subset X$ be a subvariety. Are there some useful criteria under which the blow-up $Bl_Z X$ becomes a nontrivial product $V \times W$ of the algebraic varieties $V$ and $W$? This means that these varieties should have positive dimensions.
Any example would be appreciated as well.

The pathfinder rules skim a little over the idea of adding a monster to a party** and only say that a group of monster PC's should all have the same CR; this is somewhat harder to achieve in practice unless everyone plays the same race.
What is a good mechanic to ensure party balance when the players are playing a mixed bunch of CR creatures? For example a unicorn (CR 3) a Djinni (CR 5) and a Triton (CR 2) and possibly even a human (CR 1/2 ?)
** and I think include a typo, surely that 8 should be a 5 in the fifth paragraph?
Extra thought for the already excellent answers; for a CR 3 monster with a 4th level party the Monster (3) Class (1) counts it's monster levels as class levels for xp costs; so to get to Monster (3) Class (2) (ignoring bonus levels) it needs XP as if for Class (5)?

The diff here is:
Theirs: [m|K]
Theirs is supposed to remove \E[NUMBERS;NUMBERS[m OR K]
This statement is incorrect in 2 ways.
1. The letters m and K are two of more than 20+ possible letters that can end these sequences.
2. Inside []'s , OR is already assumed, so they are also looking for sequences ending with | which is not correct.
This : [a-zA-Z]
This resolves the "OR" issue noted above, and takes care of all sequences, as they all end with a lower or upper cased letter.
This ensures 100% of any escape code 'mess' is removed.

My question is:
How do I find all solutions in the interval $[0, 2\pi)$ of the equation $\cos 2x - \sin x = 1$?
Any pointers into the direction I should be taking would be very helpful.
Thank you in advance.
My question is:
Any pointers into the direction I should be taking would be very helpful.
The double-angle formula gives that $$\cos(2x) = \cos(x+x) = \cos^2(x) - \sin^2(x) = (1-\sin^2 x)-\sin^2x = 1-2\sin^2 x.$$ Substituting into $$\cos(2x) - \sin x = 1$$ should make it more tractable.
Arturo's hint already tells you how to proceed with the computations. To check whether the solutions that you calculate seem plausible, and to make sure that you haven't missed any solutions, it's useful to write the equation as $$\cos 2x = \sin x + 1.$$ Then you can easily plot the curves $y=\cos 2x$ (which looks like the familiar $y=\cos x$ except that it oscillates twice as fast) and $y=\sin x+1$ (the familiar sine curve, but moved one unit upwards), and see roughly where they intersect (which they do at the $x$-values that satisfy the equation).
(It should look like this, but try it yourself before you peek!)
