Given the impending landfall of Hurricane Sandy I wondered what was the first established emergency management agency akin to the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency?
Wikipedia's History of Firefighting includes the following snippet:
IMO, this page is being too kind to Crassus (the same one) as it appears to suggest that he was providing a public service for a fee. His own wiki comes closer to the more widely accepted truth which is often recounted in economic history books:
In 6 CE, Augustus, possibly building on Crassus' idea, organised a group of slaves into the Vigiles, a force which functioned both as firefighters as well as policemen of Rome:
The Vigiles were commanded by a Praefectus vigilum (Prefect of the Watch) who was appointed by the emperor.
Some sources state that Augustus was inspired to create the Vigiles based on the innovative use of water pumps to combat fires in Egypt.
There do not appear to have been any organised civil emergency services such as paramedics until the 19th century. While flooding was an issue in the Nile valley, I suspect that it was too regular to have necessitated an emergency service. While Japanese earthquakes and tsunamis were meticulously recorded, there again do not appear to have been any dedicated emergency services to provide relief during disasters.

Steinbrenner Likes What He Sees
NEW YORK—Owner Hal Steinbrenner strolled along the Yankee Stadium right-field stands Saturday before his team's game with the Toronto Blue Jays, signing autographs for an appreciative crowd. There were no sniping remarks, no boos, just compliments from a fan base grateful that their unlikely team of nobodies is in first place halfway through May.
Many expressed surprise, however, that despite leading the league in injuries—the Yankees have nearly $100 million worth of Mr. Steinbrenner's payroll on the disabled list—the team is doing so well. The Yankees have been forced to field a cast of minor leaguers and past-their-prime vets, yet have found ways to squeeze production out of nearly every single one. Mr. Steinbrenner admitted he can see why people are surprised; he feels much the same.
"Pleasantly surprised," he said. "I'm not shocked. I didn't buy into the doomsday scenario that many people did because I knew we had some good kids in Triple-A. And more importantly, I knew the guys we got in the off-season were veterans and whether or not people thought they were worth getting or not, they were veterans, and this is what you expect veterans to do and they've done it. They've stepped up."
He's well aware that the credit for this torrid start is largely owed to two men: General Manager Brian Cashman and Manager Joe Girardi, who have juggled the roster and lineup each day to keep the team together. But both are lame ducks, playing out the final years of their respective contracts.
Injuries have forced Mr. Cashman to turn over seemingly the entire roster each week, cycling through players to achieve incremental upgrades. Saturday, he swapped cash to Colorado for infielder Reid Brignac, tossing aside Alberto Gonzalez and believing he had upgraded his backup shortstop platoon in the absence of the injured Derek Jeter and Eduardo Nunez.
Mr. Steinbrenner expressed his gratitude for their efforts, and while he isn't going to bend on his usual policy of not negotiating extensions in-season, he issued a strong vote of confidence, suggesting that both men will be back next year.
"We've got so many things to focus on and [they] know this," Mr. Steinbrenner said. "We're going to deal with that when the season's over and that's hopefully in November…. They've done a great job. Cash did a great job with the players we got in the off-season. It's a great story," he said.
Mr. Steinbrenner is willing to make one exception to his "no-extensions" policy—he remains intent on signing star second baseman Robinson Cano to a long-term contract. But the Yankee owner said talks with Mr. Cano's agents remain in the preliminary stages.
Despite the on-field success, the fans so far haven't responded as Mr. Steinbrenner might have hoped. Average attendance at Yankee Stadium is down roughly 6,000 fans per game versus this point in 2012. But he brushed off concerns about the flagging attendance, citing poor April weather and the economy as contributing factors.
"We're not the only team whose attendance is down, I can assure you of that," Steinbrenner said. "I know as the summer rolls around the fans are going to come out more and more to support them and they've earned it at this point."

For each $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $x\in\mathbb{R}$ define $$ g_n(x)=2nxe^{-nx^2}\qquad h_n(x)=g_{n+1}(x)-g_n(x) $$ Prove that $$ \int\limits_0^\infty\sum_{n=0}^\infty h_n(t)dt \neq \sum_{n=0}^\infty\int_0^\infty h_n(t)dt $$ So far, I've shown that the LHS is equal to $0$ by noting that $$ \sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty h_n(t)=g_\infty (t) - g_0(t) = \lim_{n\to \infty} 2nxe^{-nx^2} =0 $$ by L'Hopital's rule. Thus, we have an integral of a constant function equal to $0$, which is $0$.
For the RHS, I've got the integral down to $$ \int\limits_0^\infty h_n(t)dt= \int\limits_0^\infty 2(n+1)xe^{-(n+1)x^2}dx - \int\limits_0^\infty 2nxe^{-nx^2}dx=[e^{-nx^2}-e^{-(n+1)x^2}]_0^\infty=0 $$
This gets me to believe that RHS equals LHS, which is directly contrary to the question. Am I missing something?

In his thesis, Jacob Lurie mentioned two work in preparation (by him), namely "Virtual fundamental classes and the motivic sphere" and "Geometric derived stacks". Now that much is written in the DAG series and the two books (Higher Algebra and Higher Topoi), I'm wondering if anybody here know if these two papers are contained in the DAG series already or still yet to be written?
I'm not sure I understand the question (unless it's intended as general curiosity about the progress of Lurie's work). I can see two legitimate options:
Of course if you're just starting to think about a problem it might be wiser to find your own questions rather than trying to prove something you saw announced in Jacob's thesis..
In December 2005, Jacob Lurie visited Berkeley, and I asked him about the main results of the motivic sphere paper (N.B., his dissertation was from 2004).
He replied, "I cited it, but it does not exist."
It is possible that he wasn't completely serious.
Lurie repeatedly cited "Virtual fundamental classes" for seemingly unrelated topics. I don't believe that he has yet returned to any of those topics. He cited "Geometric derived stacks" fewer times and more vaguely, so it is harder to track what happened. I think some of the material appeared in "DAG VIII: Quasi-Coherent Sheaves and Tannaka Duality Theorems," which got folded into the second book. I think he changed his plan and spread out that material, while the first paper has remained intact and just hasn't appeared yet.
It's worth noting that Lurie's thesis is not on his webpage, and is not regularly updated like the papers which are on is webpage. I would take this to mean that you're supposed to be reading the current versions of this material in the DAG series, and not reading the 8 year old outline.

The 6 Greatest Athletic Feats Ever (Aren't What You Think)
#3. Battle of the Sexes
The story you know:
In 1973, Billie Jean King, a professional women's tennis player, defeated Bobby Riggs, a chauvinistic professional men's tennis player, thus legitimizing women's rights in a way no march, protest, or legislation ever could. The renowned feminist scholars at ESPN concluded that King's victory made it "acceptable for American women to exert themselves in pursuits other than childbirth."
And thus, the birth of modern pornography!
But actually ...
Unfortunately, what we like to remember as a victory for women everywhere was actually a victory for trolls and the blurring of the line between real sports and professional wrestling.
Which, incidentally, is exactly how we would describe the short-lived XFL.
Bobby Riggs was more con man than professional tennis player. When he first challenged her, King refused, because everyone knew Riggs would do just about anything for attention and money -- including betting he could beat someone using a frying pan as a racket. But when he beat the No. 1 female tennis player in the world, and Time and Sports Illustrated put him on their covers, King let herself get sucked into his nonsense. Riggs was the prototypical troll, issuing outlandishly sexist statements to the media and showing his opinion for women by going to photo shoots dressed as King Henry VIII. On the day that she supposedly scored a victory for feminism, King was carried into the stadium on a throne held by a bunch of muscular track stars wearing togas while Riggs entered driving a throng of female slaves.
Given that he was that anti-woman, you'd expect him to be pretty masculine. You'd be wrong, though.
The fact that anyone was surprised when King beat him says way more about just how rock-stupid American men were at the time. Riggs was 55 at the time of the match, while King was 29 and in the prime of what was probably the best female tennis career ever. It was like John McEnroe challenging Serena Williams to a match, if John McEnroe was three years older than he is right now.
And if McEnroe found a way to become even more of a crybaby douchebag.
Like King, Babe Didrikson also played tennis. Unlike King, she also played every other sport ever invented. Seriously. She successfully competed in basketball, track, golf, baseball, tennis, swimming, diving, boxing, volleyball, handball, bowling, billiards, skating and cycling. She won gold medals at the 1932 Olympics in high jump, 80-meter hurdles and javelin. We'd joke that such a badass woman would never conquer domestic duties, except Didrikson was a competitive seamstress and won the Texas Seamstress Championship.
In 1946, she dug out what is now known as Daytona Beach with only a stick.
However, since female athletes in the 1930s were regarded as highly as communist Irish atheists, there were almost no outlets for female sports, forcing Didrikson to take up one of the few socially acceptable sports for females -- golf.
Didrikson utterly dominated her opponents, winning 41 LPGA events and 10 majors. More importantly, she shocked people by refusing to act feminine. She went as far to try out and qualify for the PGA in 1945, something no other woman was able to do until 2003. Her imposing and unapologetic demeanor made future athletes like Billie Jean King more acceptable in mainstream sports and greatly advanced female athletics.
#2. Biggest Draft Bust: Mike Phipps
The story you know:
Much like Punxsutawney Phil, NFL draft experts burst onto the scene every year to give us their predictions, which are almost always very wrong. Inevitably, one of the experts will compare a prospect to ex-NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf, the second overall pick in the 1998 NFL draft, who until recently was crowned by many as the biggest draft bust of all time. However, after the career of Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell took off like the Challenger, there is now a debate over which of these quarterbacks sucked the most.
Ryan Leaf, still learning the rules, attempts to hatch the football.
But actually ...
Mike Phipps, was selected third overall in the 1970 NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns. While drafting that early is sort of the Browns' thing these days, Cleveland was a great football team when they drafted Phipps. They had a 26-15 record in the three seasons before Phipps became a starter, and they hadn't had a losing season since 1956.
Phipps stares in stunned silence as he finds out that he cannot eat the football.
And then Phipps stepped to the plate and, well ...
As the above table shows, debating which quarterback is the worst is kind of like debating which Jersey Shore character you want to sleep with; at the end of the day, the mere thought of it makes you vomit.
And yet any one of them are a better quarterback than those three.
However, the most important criteria in determining which is the biggest draft bust is the impact that each had on his team. Russell and Leaf have similar stories -- both were drafted by terrible franchises and did nothing more than continue their misery. Russell became the starting quarterback in 2008, after his Raiders posted a terrible 10-36 record in the three years before. The Chargers had a 21-27 record in the three seasons before Leaf took over. Phipps single-handedly sunk what up to that point had been a powerhouse franchise, leading the Browns to a 4-10 record in '74 and a 3-11 record in '75.
In fact, he ruined so much so fast, opposing teams referred to him as "Thanks."
Even worse, fans had to endure Leaf and Russell for only two and three seasons, respectively. Phipps plagued Cleveland for seven seasons. So while Leaf and Russell were nothing more than short-lived hopes, Phipps was a one-man wrecking ball who single-handedly destroyed one of the league's most dominant franchises.
#1. Willis Reed Plays (Badly) While Injured
The story you know:
Willis Reed, the Knicks' captain and best player, tore a muscle in his right thigh during Game 5 of the 1970 NBA finals between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers. After getting blown out by 22 points in Game 6, the Reed-less Knicks entered Game 7 with little hope of winning. Much to everyone's surprise, Reed emerged from the locker room to wild applause mere moments before tipoff. The Knicks won the game, and the NBA has named Reed's dramatic display one of the NBA's greatest moments.
A doctor checks to make sure Reed's pants are in the correct reality.
But actually ...
After averaging 32 points in the first four games, Reed only scored four points in 27 minutes, actually hurting his team's chance of winning the game. Many sportswriters suggest that Reed's mere presence inspired his team to victory. It's a nice thought, but it's more likely that this is an example of East Coast bias by a New York-centric media. Just as people think Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle were the best players of the 50s due to the fact that they played in New York City and Boston, when it was some dude named Stan Musial, there have been many far greater performances by more seriously injured players. We've already touched on Jack Youngblood playing an entire NFL playoff game and the Super Bowl on a broken leg, but even Youngblood pales in comparison to the injury and distance from New York of German goaltender Bert Trautmann.
A man so tough, he'd nail your girlfriend in front of you. Then kick your ass for letting him do it.
Trautmann was the star player on the Manchester City soccer team. With 15 minutes left to play in the 1956 FA Cup Final, Trautmann collided with an attacking player while trying to preserve his team's 3-1 lead. The collision broke his neck, and the ruthless soccer rules of the time didn't allow a substitution to take place for such a minor issue.
Just block, you pansy. We've seen men play without heads.
While a lesser man would have spent the remaining time crying on the ground or dead, Trautmann put the team on his back. During this time, Trautmann didn't allow a single goal, and even made a spectacular save against the player who broke his neck. He played so well that nobody suspected something was wrong until the man placing the medals around the player's neck noticed that Trautmann's head was crooked.

Sip and Sup
Cuisine's palatable partner is vino, so Newport Beach Vineyards and Winery was the obvious choice for Community Action Partnership's party benefiting O.C. Food Bank—and oh, what a soirée it was. Live jazz music floated through the air as 145 oenophiles sipped sweet nectar and noshed on savory bites—perfect complements to the estate's vintage selection. They also snapped pics in the vintage photo booth and were treated to tours of the vineyard—the only one in Newport—and its 2,500-square-foot wine cave. (Yep, it's the stuff that vino lovers' dreams are made of.) Then it was back to the wine—and after the final pour, more than $50,000 had been raised for the organization's work to provide food for the underserved in O.C.

Like i just said is android all that well and good? I believe not it can handle angry birds but came out in 2009 this aint that long ago but i think we should build a true Linux smartphone OS get all the power of the kernel after all they can use DSL probably so why don't we? and lets get a new UI all those apps don't work that well the way they are displayed lets see dose any one have the same thinking track as me? I don't make OSes and can only do basics in Ruby so if you think like me post here this might take awhile two years maybe? but i think we need 3 things
1. speed
2. stability
3. not too resource hungry
this might work it could fail first all we need is a kernel that works on phones and works well
then lets get complex but just post ideas here this is to inspire not to develop

What are some pitfalls or lessons learned after converting existing hardware to a virtualized environment? Is there anything you tried to virtualize but will never do again?
ALWAYS eject any virtual media (CD/DVD/Floppy) once you've finished as failure to do so will often stop a vMotion in its tracks.
Get your NTP and DNS setup correctly, this will save you from contemplating suicide :)
You can never have enough memory, or storage.
Make sure you have remote, OS-less, access to your machines such as HP's iLO system.
Keep a repository of OS/App .ISO files.
Not a direct answer to your question but in the hope that someone saves themselves from tearing their hair out in the future by finding this response - HP blade servers don't ship with their 'VT'-bit enabled by default, you have to enable it in the BIOS (F9). Without this ESX 3.5U4 doesn't throw a useful error, no it just hangs prior to the code install :(
To answer the question as asked - pitfalls related to P2V migrations.
First off - P2V migrations work very well for the most part. The cleaner and newer the systems the better but even with migrating old (NT4 systems) my success rate after more than a hundred migrations in a range of environments has been around 90%. That's systems that have migrated and been handed over to production on the day (well mostly on the night) planned. I've only ever had one system that we had to reverse out of after an apparently successful migration - a SQL box that needed more CPU horsepower than the platform could ever deliver. VMware Converter is good and free (for the non enterprise version), Platespin is very good (but costly).
That said - there are things to avoid.
MSCS Clusters. You can make them work but it's never a great idea and Microsoft will almost certainly not help you in any way if you have problems later. Build new stand alone systems instead.
Large SQL servers - emphasis on large. These should have been red flagged from a CPU requirements POV in advance but don't be tempted to move one if you aren't certain that the target VM will have ample CPU headroom.
If you are planning to change system names or ip-addresses (or both) during the migration then first consider don't doing that and if you absolutely have no choice then make sure you have people on hand who understand how those changes might affect the systems in question. My worst migration ever was an RSA ACE server used for authenticating a DMZ located VPN where the client refused to listen to my objections and insisted on changing both name and ip-address during the migration.
Related to the above - if you have anything other than a completely flat network then build some test VM's and make 100% sure that your VM networks perfectly replicate the physical ones you are migrating from.
In Windows AD environments always make sure you have a local admin account on the box being migrated. And test it before you migrate.
Make sure you have a good idea of how long things will take. P2V copy times will vary depending on available network bandwidth (obviously) but also can be dramatically affected by the number of files in each volume being migrated. This is particularly a problem with Platespin migrating NT4* systems but will affect any P2V software copying at the file level (which generally applies if you opt to resize volumes). Copy rates of 70-80Megabyte a second are possible with GigE networks, relatively fast source and a good target setup but 20-30Megabyte/sec is more typical and for the aforementioned NT systems with 100Meg networks and lots of files I've seen copy rates drop down into the 50kilobyte/sec range.
From my experience, be VERY careful about your storage medium. We went with an iSCSI SAN that turned out to only support 100Mbit connections. Running one VM on the system wasn't bad, two was less the adequate... and by the time we reached our target of 8 VMs they were horrible.
My personal lesson learned: Check the rated IOPS and read more reviews about a product that relate to the way you intend to use the storage device
Another handy thing I've learned... Making a 'backup' disk image after a base install and hardening will quicken the build of any other system and is a very handy thing to keep around.
Try not to run production database servers in a Virtual Environment. The overheads for I/O is unacceptable. We had huuuge problems when our DBA allowed our primary MSSQL server to become virtualised. Queries were taking thousands of milliseconds to run. When we convinced them to move it back to a dedicated box, there was a 10,000% increase in throughput and speed.
Use redunant network for vmotion/vmkernel traffic. You don't want virtual machines shutting down just because a switch rebooted.
Oh, and leave one DC/DNS/DHCP-server out of the virtualization. Your users will hate you less if you get a major SAN crash.
In case you don't have one already - Have a complete backup of the physical machine prior to the migration. An image is probably best or and an ASR/system restore or whatever that gives you a complete system snapshot, instead of the usual content backup that most machines have.
P2V tools can backfire on you unexpectedly, ruining the physical machine (i had VMWare converter kill a machine i was trying to P2V once, luckily it was just a test migration). Be prepared to have to restore the system from scratch. Yes, this is maybe a 1000 to one chance, but do YOU want to be that one?
VMWare Converter creates virtual machines that boot from scsi. MS virtual machines cannot boot from scsi. [edit - apparently version 4 of the converter now lets you specify SCSI or IDE, I love those guys]
If you're going to virtualize a non-ACPI physical machine, buy some software for the purpose. (unless you have a couple of weeks for an exciting journey in discovery!)
Also, VMWare Converter will tackle jobs at which MS SCVMM will throw up its hands in dispair.
Bring a lot of RAM.
Don't do anything until the virtualization tools (whether VMWare or MS) have installed.
If you're going to move it to another platform/version, uninstall the aforementioned tools.
Mind your CPU limits. P2V of a 2 CPU windows 2000 taught me that only 1 is supported.
If you're going to use SAN to store your VM images, make sure that you label your devices and hosts VERY CLEARLY. Removing host-to-disk mappings on the SAN does terrible things if they are still in use by VMs.
Microsoft won't support Exchange 2003 running in VMware (at least that was the officially response). With a lot of arm twisting we were able to get some unofficial support from them, but it caused extra headaches in an already stressful crisis.
A lot of these are VMware specific:
Stupid annoyance with VMware: different versions of VMware use different SCSI drivers for their virtual disk devices. It's entirely possible to waste 2 hours before considering that option.
Well, so far I haven't got any horror stories about myself doing the virtualization. However, a few notes though.
Maybe more but that's all for now. :)
[update] here is another one. Apply the latest firmware to the host server. I had one that I didn't do, which gave me purple screen once a few days and crashed the server completely.
Virtualization impact is around 5% of performance of overhead. Measure resources consumption on existing environnement to determine if your virtualization environnement can take this load.
Before going live with your virtualization solution:
I wouldn't say I'd not try it again, but layered virtualisation is not pleasant to deal with.
By layered I mean running xen or esx on virtualised hardware such as Egenera, HP Virtual Connect or Cisco UCS. It sounds like a good idea, but can be very time consuming to debug.
In VMWare, know where the snapshots endup. We had ours configured to end up in the LUN on the SAN with the VM files themselves. A tech was practicing the Snapshot process on a LUN that was almost full. Later he rebooted the VM for some reason, and the log files caused the VM to not start. It was a bit of luck that lead us to the LUN being full as the cause.
If you go with a dynamically expanding VHD then ensure you go big enough. If you go with 100GB and you end up only using 20... no biggie. However, if you went with 25 then you have some work ahead of you.

I would like to setup a basic FTP server on my Ubuntu Server install. I have been playing with VSFTPD, but am having issues getting the server to allow me to create directories and copy files. I have set the system to allow local users, but it appears that doesn't mean I get access to create directories. This may be an instance where I need to be better grounded in Ubuntu server setup in order to configure this FTP server adequately. The end goal is to be able to move files from my local dev folder into my www folder for deployment. Directories need to be able to move as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm going to recommend PureFTPD because it's been the simplest and easiest to use in my opinion. You'll need to install it first:
Something like this:
Which will create the
Lastly if you want to lock down SSH access for that account run:
In my opinion SFTP is a better way to go. Hey, it's got the word "secure" in the name, it must be better :)
SFTP uses ssh to do file transfers (as distinct from FTPS, which is FTP + TLS, basically). What that means is that if you can ssh to the target machine, you can almost always SFTP to it, as it uses the same auth mechanisms, so no having to install and configure different server daemons at all (i.e. no pureftpd or vsftpd). As long as your permissions are set correctly for
Most client software nowadays will do SFTP pretty happily, and you can also use
I would strongly recommend using vsftpd. It is one of the most secure FTP daemons in Linux. Many others had weaknesses in the past and it seems the FTP is hard to implement in a secure way.
vsftpd starts right after you install it. Ubuntu enables local users to log in. So start your FTP client and log in as normal user with your system password (My example uses lftp):
Now I'm using some kind of file manager (Nautilus, Shell etc.) to create a new directory
Directory is there and I'm able to
I humbly recommend an FTP server I wrote myself from scratch: JetFTP. It is extremely simple to install and use.
Using JetFTP is simple - just connect to port
Do not use ftp, it is an inherently insecure protocol because it sends the username and password in the clear to the server. Implementing sftp is just as easy and you gain a huge advantage in the security of your connection.
There are three different ways to set up an ftp server:
(1) Anonymous FTP :
People can access the server only with the anonymous account and without a password. Of course, the server administrator will set a limit for uploads to prevent users from putting illegal files like pirated music/films/games.
(2) FTP with both anonymous access and users with a passworded account:
This method lets both anonymous and passworded account users to enter the server. They will only have access to a specified directory, except for the user root who can view/modify/delete all files and/or folders.
(3) FTP with mysql support for virtual users authentication :
This method allows access to the server only for some user groups that haven't got a virtual users authentication shell account on the system. It uses an external mysql server that stores user information.
First Option : Anonymous FTP
Before starting the creation of an anonymous ftp server, you have to add a user called ftp into your system, with a home directory too. This step is really easy, just follow these commands:
Doing this permits only this account to write in this folder. You can use more variables to specify what the ftp server will do. Here are some examples:
Second Option : '''Both anonymous and passworded account users'''
To make it possible to have both anonymous and passworded account users in the same server, follow this small guide :
Third Option : '''Virtual Users with Mysql'''
To create a server with mysql support follow this steps :
Download and install User Manager for PureFTPd which you can find here http://machiel.generaal.net/index.php?subject=user_manager_pureftpd
Decompress it and upload all its contents into your web server www directory and then write on your browser this link link http://localhost/ftp/install.php Follow all the steps that the installer asks to you Copy and save rge pureftpd-mysql.conf into pureftpd user manager directory
Done. Access to the administration panel using this link http://localhost/ftp
More options to add before launch the server process
And see this for some ftp server application:
The default install of VSFTPD doesn't allow any create/modify changes by default. You need to edit
And secondly you need to configure the appropriate file-system permissions on the respective files and folders.

[water treatment]

[chemical treatment]
The hydrocarbon processing industry needs
reliable and economic sources of water for present and future
operations. Ensuring a sustainable water supply requires a
focused effort to evaluate the quality and
quantity of alternative water sources, reuse of
individual water streams or the combined outfall stream, and/or
changing regulatory requirements.
The most common methodologies to analyze water circuits are
pinch technology and mass balance/solution
modeling. Application of classic pinch technology for water systems, as
shown in Fig. 1, evaluates only the hydraulic
demands for water.
Fig. 1. Sample
water-pinch diagram.1
A better solution is to construct a sophisticated
computerized model of the facilitys water systems that
incorporates hydraulic information, along with ionic equilibria
of soluble contaminants. Like pinch technology, this approach requires
an accurate water balance.
Fig. 2 is a sample flow diagram with
color-coded streams: steamsred, waterblue, recycled
watergreen and wastewaterbrown. This approach
models the ionic equilibria of the soluble contaminants,
providing information about water quality for each unit
Fig. 2. Refinery water flow
Modeling a water system also requires creating a
salt or contaminant balance. The optimal approach
is to profile water quality throughout the system by analyzing
numerous samples at every location, and then compare the actual
water quality to the predicted value in the model. When the
actual water quality and flowrates closely match the predicted
values, the model is considered validated for the
present plant conditionsthe baseline case.
A validated model allows the facility to hypothetically
reprocess water to meet the specification limits for individual
process units and to identify candidate water streams for reuse
or retreatment (recycling). The model also provides insight
into the hydraulic and chemical impacts on the unit and the
total system balances for mass and salt concentrations.
This computerized modeling provides an accurate assessment
of options: different configurations and/or operating scenarios
to improve system operability, justification capital
improvement projects, optimization system reliability and minimization of the
risk of off-spec or lost production. Embedded within this
analysis is a projection of the chemistry change
for the cooling water. The only remaining analysis for this
unit operation is a separate modeling task using a different
software program to design an appropriate chemical-treatment
program to control the corrosion, deposition and
microbiological populations within the cooling water
As the quantity and quality of water decreases, industrial
users will need to increase their efforts to conserve, recycle
water and conform to even stricter regulatory requirements for
withdrawal and discharge. Software tools can provide methods
for plant personnel to quickly and economically analyze
numerous system configurations providing a high level of
confidence about the option that best meets their

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

In Oracle, where can I see the history of DBFs autoextending? Or get the timestamp that a DBF last autoextended, and by how much?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
I'm not aware of a particular method that records this, the information doesn't appear in file$ or x$kccfe . In general though I wouldn't worry about these events so much as how much free space I have in both the tablespace and the file system. There are alternative methods to monitor this
Updated At Leigh's suggestion
In answer to Gaius comment - but too long for a comment itself.
I think there are 2 basic things to consider for "efficiency" and the results will be system and site dependent. Its worth re-iterating though that I think the efficiency or otherwise of autoextend from a performance viewpoint is way down the list of priorities. (it was just interesting at a quiet time).
First is, overall how efficient do you want the allocation of space to be. The best result will be achieved if you never autoextend but size exactly correctly to begin with :) In general the fewer file extension operations you do the better, but its a declining win.
Second, how much do you want to delay any individual transaction that triggers a file extension event? here the opposite applies, the more small file extensions you have the shorter each individual event will be.
I have some figures and a sample script for others to test/critique etc at http://orawin.info/blog/2012/01/04/proof-by-extension/
As Niall said this data is not available.
It would be crude, but you could roll your own solution for this. By periodically querying sys.file$ for size changes, you could determine that one or more auto-extend events have occurred and then based on the size change and the auto-increment value determine how many extensions have taken place since the last check. The more often you check the more closely you could identify the times.
Inserting the results of
I highly recommend NOT doing this.

The Nuggets Get a Zero-Star Rating
Can an NBA team win without any superstars? For the Denver Nuggets, that answer is yes—at least in the regular season. The West's No. 3 seed won 57 games with a lineup that features nine players averaging at least eight points per game. But their balanced attack without any All-Star players may also lead to some Mile-High misfortune come playoff time.
Since 1990, teams without All-Stars have gone a combined 12-58 in postseason series and have never won a championship. 10 teams won a first-round series and lost in the second round. Only the 1993-94 Indiana Pacers advanced as far as the Conference Finals without an All-Star.
The Nuggets have faced this scenario before. Last season without an all-star on the roster, Denver lost in the first round to the Los Angeles Lakers. In 2006, led by third-year forward Carmelo Anthony, the Nuggets were a No. 3 seed without any All-Stars. The result? A first-round loss to the No. 6 seed Los Angeles Clippers and their All-Star power forward Elton Brand.
Denver begins postseason play Saturday, hosting Golden State and All-Star forward David Lee.
Besides the Nuggets, the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks are the only other teams in this year's playoffs without an All-Star.

How Early Do We Learn Racial 'Us and Them'?
Are human beings born good and corrupted by society or born bad and redeemed by civilization? Lately, goodness has been on a roll, scientifically speaking. It turns out that even 1-year-olds already sympathize with the distress of others and go out of their way to help them.
But the most recent work suggests that the origins of evil may be only a little later than the origins of good.
Our impulse to love and help the members of our own group is matched by an impulse to hate and fear the members of other groups. In "Gulliver's Travels," Swift described a vicious conflict between the Big-Enders, who ate their eggs with the big end up, and the Little-Enders, who started from the little end. Historically, largely arbitrary group differences (Catholic vs. Protestant, Hutu vs. Tutsi) have led to persecution and even genocide.
When and why does this particular human evil arise? A raft of new studies shows that even 5-year-olds discriminate between what psychologists call in-groups and out-groups. Moreover, children actually seem to learn subtle aspects of discrimination in early childhood.
In a recent paper, Yarrow Dunham at Princeton and colleagues explored when children begin to have negative thoughts about other racial groups. White kids aged 3 to 12 and adults saw computer-generated, racially ambiguous faces. They had to say whether they thought the face was black or white. Half the faces looked angry, half happy. The adults were more likely to say that angry faces were black. Even people who would hotly deny any racial prejudice unconsciously associate other racial groups with anger.
But what about the innocent kids? Even 3- and 4-year-olds were more likely to say that angry faces were black. In fact, younger children were just as prejudiced as older children and adults.
Is this just something about white attitudes toward black people? They did the same experiment with white and Asian faces. Although Asians aren't stereotypically angry, children also associated Asian faces with anger. Then the researchers tested Asian children in Taiwan with exactly the same white and Asian faces. The Asian children were more likely to think that angry faces were white. They also associated the out-group with anger, but for them the out-group was white.
Was this discrimination the result of some universal, innate tendency or were preschoolers subtly learning about discrimination? For black children, white people are the out-group. But, surprisingly, black children (and adults) were the only ones to show no bias at all; they categorized the white and black faces in the same way. The researchers suggest that this may be because black children pick up conflicting signals—they know that they belong to the black group, but they also know that the white group has higher status.
These findings show the deep roots of group conflict. But the last study also suggests that somehow children also quickly learn about how groups are related to each other.
Learning also was important in another way. The researchers began by asking the children to categorize unambiguously white, black or Asian faces. Children began to differentiate the racial groups at around age 4, but many of the children still did not recognize the racial categories. Moreover, children made the white/Asian distinction at a later age than the black/white distinction. Only children who recognized the racial categories were biased, but they were as biased as the adults tested at the same time. Still, it took kids from all races a while to learn those categories.
The studies of early altruism show that the natural state of man is not a war of all against all, as Thomas Hobbes said. But it may quickly become a war of us against them.

My wife recently received a digital wrist watch (Casio Baby GShock) as a gift. She is a teacher and uses the watch for (other than quickly telling the time) timing her lessons, other presentations and administered tests. I helped her set the time and date on the watch and then explored the features.
The watch has a countdown setting, stopwatch and several custom daily reminder alarms. It also has a calendar with date reminders and a simple data bank. It's nothing special. My initial reactions were that it's a straightforward and efficient tool. (I had forgotten just what digital wristwatches could do.) I find it an appealing tool. The watch was simple to use after about 15-20 minutes with the instruction manual and some tinkering.
It made me wonder about how a digital watch could be used to replace and/or enhance features found in organizational software (mobile and desktop) in a more efficient way. Examples might be the Pomodoro technique or maybe using the data bank to store peg words.
Does anyone currently or even recently have experience with using a digital watch to help improving productivity they would recommend compared to software alternatives?

After suffering its first conference loss last week, the Saint Mary men's basketball team wasted little time getting back in the win column.
On Saturday, the Spires utilized a second-half sputter to dispatch visiting McPherson 72-60.
With Sterling College's loss, the victory gives USM a two-game cushion a top the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference heading into the regular season's final four games.
Versus McPherson, Saint Mary went from being up 29-27 at half to winning by double digits thanks in large part to its offensive execution. The club posted 43 second-half points, 10 more than its guests, to claim the win.
Five Spires finished in double-digit scoring, the most going to JEB Greenberg, who had 17.
On Thursday, the squad will travel to Bethany College to try and improve on its 19-6 overall, 13-1 league record. The game starts at 8 p.m.
The Lady Spires also hosted McPherson on Saturday, where it fell 73-54 at the hands of its visitors.
Only one Lady Spire finished with double-digit points, that being Shelby Watson with 13.
USM, now 8-18 overall and 2-12 in league, will play Bethany at 6 p.m. Thursday.

Boys will be boys
"Journalists" had a field day with McKenna Pope's online petition asking Hasbro to market Easy-Bake Ovens to boys. They love this story because it facilitates the gender-neutrality theme, one of their hot-button issues. They don't hide their admiration for McKenna's genius and gumption, and between the lines and sound bites, they wonder why Hasbro hasn't thought of this before.

I am currently teaching an advanced undergraduate analysis class, and the following question came up.
Intuition suggests that "most" subsets of $[0,1]$ are not Lebesgue measurable. However, the power set $\mathcal{P}([0,1])$ has the same cardinality as the collection of measurable sets, so it is not clear how to make this statement precise.
One method is to view $\mathcal{P}([0,1])$ as a vector space over $\mathbb{Z}_2$, with addition corresponding to symmetric difference of sets. Then the measurable sets $\mathcal{M}$ form a subspace, and the quotient $\mathcal{P}([0,1])/\mathcal{M}$ is clearly uncountable.
So my question is: what is the cardinality of $\mathcal{P}([0,1])/\mathcal{M}$? It seems like it should be $2^c$, just like $\mathcal{P}([0,1])$, but I don't know how to prove it.
Also, in what other senses are "most" subsets of $[0,1]$ non-measurable?

It is simple:
1. Create a action column, specify handler function on that, ensure that handler has all the parameters including event parameter. It would be 5th parameter in order. i.e. function(a,b,c,d,event)
2. Use event methods getXY, getX and getY
3. Create a global popup variable. Define it before the class defination.
var popup;
4. Then create popup component
eg:- popup = Ext.create(Ext.Component.....)
4. popup.setPosition(event.getX(),event.getY()) and popup.show()

SEEDS and Sustainable by Design, CU's two newest Residential Academic Programs, feature an interdisciplinary approach to sustainability and innovative problem-solving.
Social Entrepreneurship for Equitable Development & Sustainability (SEEDS) and Sustainable by Design (SbD) began in fall 2011. Students in the first year—who came from arts and sciences, engineering, environmental studies and business—found themselves working with socially conscious entrepreneurial ideas and putting them into practice.
"This experience is devoted to those who would like to make a difference. It's like a leadership experience. It is innovatively thinking rather than textbook thinking, " said Mario Gjurekovec, an engineering student in SbD.
Taking on real issues, they discovered, requires building a community of peers—through group work, in classes and on field trips—and then reaching out to communities, learning hands-on through active problem solving. As English major Joseph Lee notes, the RAP living experience is unique, with "the culture in the dorm being an incubator for complex ideas and discussion as opposed to a typical dorm."
Business student Lauren Potter agrees. "I also really appreciated the environment as a whole, working with peers going through the same thing, working on it together, finding the steps we need to take, while following the framework laid out by our professor," she says.
Both Lauren and Joseph see the RAP courses as changing the way they view the world. Lauren claims the fall course titled Social Innovation and Design for Sustainable Communities "completely re-engineered how I learn. And now, in the second-semester course, Social Entrepreneurship & Sustainability, I am taking it on and being a social entrepreneur, taking risks in the context of potentially failing at the project. But now I find that is all right, because bumps mean coming up with something new."
And according to Joseph, "I've been opened to other issues along with the environmental. What's been interesting is approaching problems with a sustainability mindset, such as addressing poverty without impacting the environment. The RAP has brought a lot to my (English) major which has been interesting, opening my mind to a larger scale."
"I want to go out and listen to people," says Lauren, "to interact with people as they are coming up with some real solutions to today's problems. I'm a fan of learning by trial, figuring stuff out, and the process gets you a group of people who are motivated and ready to do something."

I ask the question for a real reason. I would like to make more money to support my family and live in better conditions. I feel I have to rely on myself to go back to school, work hard and then get a great job. However, I hear something different at Church, rely on Jesus for our needs.
How can we apply relying on Jesus in situations where it appears we have to rely on ourselves?
Do you have specific real life examples of how you do this?
How do you define this and where do you draw the line?
Marc in his comment below brought up a good topic of: "do what you were going to do anyway" vs (what I interpret as) completely leaning back on Jesus....

My bluetooth dongle drivers were in kernel 2.6.38. Since then it never worked with any new kernel. So my only way to use it is to boot into old kernels. But I want to update kernel to 3.1 with new drivers except Bluetooth. Can patching do this?
open synaptic package manager, select the package you want to preserve, then from the "package" heading in the top menu check "lock version".

GENESEO, N.Y. - Paul Mann, an expert in seismology and the geology and geophysics of plate boundaries from the University of Texas, will assess the recent Haiti earthquake during the State University of New York at Geneseo's seventh annual American Rock Salt Lecture on Geology April 29 at 7:30 p.m. The lecture is in Newton Hall Room 202 and is free and open to the public.
Mann, senior research scientist at the University of Texas at Austin's Jackson School of Geosciences, will address "When Science Intersects Society: The Haiti Earthquake." He will present what is known about the earthquake fault and what efforts were made by scientists to inform government officials and the public of the seismic hazard prior to the event. He also will examine scientific "rapid response" to better understand the event and possible future events that could affect the same area.
In addition to the lecture, Mann will speak with students about his research, graduate school, career options and other topics of interest.
Mann has numerous publications and presentations to his credit. He earned his doctorate at the State University of New York at Albany. His dissertation focused on tectonics in the northern Caribbean.
American Rock Salt Company LLC and Geneseo's department of geological sciences formed a partnership in 2003, and the first American Rock Salt Lecture on Geology was held in the spring of 2004. The educational partnership is a model program offering a mutually beneficial relationship between the company and the college. As a result of the partnership, Geneseo students intern at American Rock Salt and tour the expansive mine; the company provides support for undergraduate research; and company executives and other experts deliver talks on campus, including the annual lecture.

I am trying to get an entry-level developer job, but have no relevant experience. I am able to code C#, SQL, HTML, and CSS and understand principles of OOP and have completed a couple of applications both in WinForms and WebForms.
I've tried applying to graduate roles, but I get blocked by recruiters who don't like my experience so far.
I was thinking about writing a detailed report (like a CV) on what I've done so far, visiting software shops, introducing myself, and ask for an internship.
Is this an effective way to get my foot in the door in software development? Should I try cold-calling first, to try and get a formal interview?

WACO (January 29, 2013)—Rudolph Darby, 44, who's been on the run for 14 years, was in the McLennan County Jail Tuesday night as the result of an investigation that started more than two years ago after a fleeing driver crashed a Lincoln into a parked boat and a tree and escaped on foot.
Darby is a fugitive from South Carolina where he's charged with assault with intent to kill, unlawful possession of a pistol, burglary, grand larceny and pointing and presenting a firearm, but deputies didn't discover that until he was fingerprinted.
Darby is accused of burglarizing a home, pointing a shotgun at the homeowner and then leading deputies on a car chase that ended when he fired on two deputies, according to a statement from the Richland County, S.C. sheriff's office.
After the shots were fired, Darby fled and remained on the run until his arrest in Waco.
McLennan County deputies obtained a warrant charging evading arrest and took Darby into custody Monday after tracking him to a home at 1649 N. 15A St. in Waco.
He was also charged here with aggravated assault on a public servant with a deadly weapon.
The local charges stem from an incident on Oct. 12, 2010 when a McLennan County deputy attempted to pull over the driver of a four-door Lincoln for a traffic violation.
The driver sped off and the deputy gave chase.
The pursuit ended when the Lincoln struck a parked boat and a tree, but the driver, whom investigators later identified as Joe Stewart, escaped.
On Monday another deputy armed with new information was following up on the case and went to the home on North 15A where he made contact with the man.
The deputy involved in the 2010 chase confirmed the man's identity and deputies obtained the arrest warrant.
Only after Stewart was in custody and fingerprinted did deputies discovery that he was actually Darby and that he was a fugitive from South Carolina.

Spending controls worth considering
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy wants more control over Connecticut's budget. The Republican-American's Paul Hughes reported Feb. 11 that Gov. Malloy's budget proposal provides for granting the governor the authority to make more unilateral spending cuts. The legislature's power to check these cuts would be minimized.
Lawmakers halted past attempts by Gov. Malloy, and predecessors M. Jodi Rell and John G. Rowland, to expand the governor's cutting authority. Budget director Benjamin Barnes said the administration is trying again because a governor should have maximum flexibility. Mr. Barnes admitted it is unlikely the legislature will approve the new request.

Short links for November 29th, 2007
Some interesting things I bookmarked on del.icio.us on November 29th, 2007:
- Digital Music, Universal, and Why Water is Thicker Than Coke – Peter Kirn reflects on Doug Morris (Universal's CEO) saying in an interview with Wired:
"Really, an album that someone worked on for two years — is that worth only $9, $10, when people pay two bucks for coffee in Starbucks?" Morris sighs. "People never really understand what's happening to the artists … If you had Coca-Cola coming through the faucet in your kitchen, how much would you be willing to pay for Coca-Cola? There you go," he says. "That's what happened to the record business."
HijiNKS ENSUE posted a comic in relation to the interview here.

New Kinect Sports Rivals trailer showcases exotic setting, activitiesWritten by: / / No Comments
One of the major first-party Xbox One games scheduled for release this year is Kinect Sports Rivals from legendary developer Rare. The game's myriad activities take place on a breathtaking island comprised of two main areas: a harbour and 'stone forest'. Kinect Sports Rivals' outdoor setting means that elements such as wind strength will add an extra layer of challenge to certain activities such as climbing.
In the latest trailer for the game Xbox spokesman Major Nelson and Art Director Louise O'Connor take us on a guided tour of this activity-packed island which is rendered in glorious 1080p. Take a look below:
Kinect Sports Rivals will be released exclusively for Xbox One this spring. The full game features six activities including wake racing, climbing, bowling, tennis, soccer and target shooting. Head over here for El33tonline's previous coverage of this promising motion-controlled title.

Defining Profit Targets and Formulating Targeted Trading Plans
In general, I've found those conventional ways of calculating targets to be helpful, but not optimal. My current methods of calculation are based on historical analysis going back to the year 2000. Since that time, the P pivot level from the previous day has been touched by the market during regular trading hours about 75% of the time. The market touches the S1 *or* the R1 level calculated from the previous day's data about 75% of the time. The market touches the S2 *or* the R2 level about 55% of the time.
Let's say that SPY opens near its pivot (P) level. The market chops around in the first half hour of trading and then moves briefly lower on negative economic news at 9 AM CT. The NYSE TICK, however, goes only modestly negative and quickly bounces back to positive territory, as SPY moves above P. Noticing the upward trend in TICK and the themes of risk-seeking across related asset classes, I wait for the first pullback in TICK that stays above P and then go long SPY with a target of R1. If TICK turns negative and we move below P--a sign of a range day--I will stop my position with a modest loss. If we continue to see buying interest, I will consider adding to the position on the way to the target(s) on pullbacks in TICK.
Should the upswing occur with strong TICK on enhanced volume, the odds of hitting R2 are enhanced, and I will leave at least a piece of the position on to hit that target. Because volume is closely correlated with volatility, keeping tabs on relative volume--how today's volume compares with the 20-day average--is quite useful in estimating the odds of hitting R2 or S2.
My newer, proprietary way of calculating P, S1/S2, R1/R2 adjusts the targets for the market's volatility, so that I'll naturally seek more modest moves in slower, narrower markets and larger moves in more active, volatile markets. Because I target the exits in advance, I'm better able to gauge the risk/reward of each trade by comparing how much I'm willing to lose in the trade (the distance to my stop point) with how much I stand to gain. This makes the target points very useful in trade planning.
For traders who might be interested, I'll begin posting the SPY target levels for the day's trading each morning as part of my Twitter service. Also included in the morning Twitter posts will be the usual indicator data (new highs/lows, Demand/Supply, % stocks above moving averages, Technical Strength readings for the basket of 40 stocks). By comparing the most recent day's data with the data from the prior day, you can gauge whether the market is gaining or losing strength day over day. As a rule, I'll look for strong/strengthening markets to hit R1/R2; weak/weakening markets to hit S1/S2; and mixed/range markets to revert toward P.
Future posts will illustrate the use of these target calculations in trade setups. The morning indicator and target data will appear under "Twitter Trader" on the blog page prior to the market open, or you can subscribe via RSS free of charge.

Dr. Steenbarger,
Thank you for this welcome addition.
If I may ask, without disclosing the exact calculation of your proprietary pivots, could you please explain how you adjust for volatility (I understand that the day's volatility is inherently a part of the pivot points formula, so do you use a longer measure of the ATR, the VIX, a deviation from average volume...? Am I missing something?). Also, do you see a correlation between the times (and/or length of time) the TICK hits extreme levels (800, 1000, >1200) and volatility for that day?
Best trading,

Hello Brett, thanks for the inclusion of the Pivots! SSK

These posts are the most usefull pieces of trading lesson around, many thank's Brett.

You are really stepping it up Brett. Our community is lucky to have you.
SSK, you are a real blessing too.
- Charles said...
Dr. Brett, I just started following you on twitter...great thanks for posting your SPY levels.
I see you also post 20-day new hi/lo's...so I was wondering if you know of a way (in Tradestation or something) of calculating new hi/lo's for other timeframes, like 5 days or 3 days...again, thanks for helpin' out man!
- kevin said...
Dr. Steengarber,
Thanks for this post. It helps take emotion out of the trading to have definitive decision points. Have you run any statistics on the conventional method? How does one get access to the proprietary method?

Hi everyone!
I'm Damir from Croatia, and I'm a freelance web developer. I'm starting a firm, which will offer web developing and 360 panoramas and virtual tours. So, I'm basicy starting with panoramas, and so far I managed to produce only a single row panorama. I want to shoot 360 multirow, spherical panoramas.
Looking all the way up and down, something like this - http://krpano.com/krpano.html?pano=p...che/kirche.xml .
I'm just about to order a NN3 MKII. But I have a dilema which one to get. With or without leverer, and what rotator.
I went to the decision tree:
1. I have a compact BENQ ( for start ) which tells me I defenitly need a t-adapter because of an offset between center of the lens and a mount hole.
2. I want to shoot multirow sphereical panoramas, multiimage mosaic etc...so I need a NN3 serias
the problem starts at the next one:
3. CHANGING FOCAL LENGHTS rarely or frequently? What does this mean?
My camera specifications:
Sensor SONY 10 Mega Pixels, 1/2.3 inch CCD
Zoom Optical: 3X
Digital: Up to 5X(Preview) / Up to 12X(Playback)
Lens f = 6.2 ( W ) ~ 18.6 ( T ) mm
(f = 35~105mm, 35mm equivalent)
Focus Range Normal: W=80cm ~ Infinity Macro: W=5cm ~ 100cm
LCD 2.7 LCD 230k pixels
Image Resolution 10M / 3:2 / 8M / 5M/ 3M / HD 16:9 / VGA
Movie Mode 720 x 400 (16:9) / 640 x 480 / 320 x 240 / Web sharing 30 fps,Continuous recording with sound
Shutter Speed 1/2000 ~ 1 sec. (Fireworks 2 sec.; Manual 15 sec.; Night Scene 8 sec.)
ISO Auto / 50 / 100 / 200 / 400 / 800 / 1600 / 3200 (3M or lower) / 6400 (VGA and HD 16:9 only)
Flash Auto Flash, Auto Anti Red-eye, Force On, Slow Sync, Force Off
Power Source AA Battery x 2
CIPA Approx 200 base on bundled batteries
Storage Type Built-in Approx. 21.1MB 4GB SD compatible / 32GB SDHC card compatible
Dimensions/Weight Dimensions:92.0x60.5x23.8mm
So, will the basic package do the job, or I need a built in leverer? I assume I do need it.
4. If I need a leverer, which rotator to get?
NN3 w/R-D3L ( 6-8-10 )
NN3 w/R-D3L ( 6-8-30 )
or without leverer the NN3 w/R-D8?
I noticed most of you guys use a 8mm fisheye, but is there someone who uses just a compact camera simmilar to mine?
I would be thankfull if someone could help me. :blushing:

Answered: Sencha Touch 184.108.40.206 works fine, but not 22.214.171.124
20 days ago, i downloaded Sencha Touch SDK files (sencha-touch-22.214.171.124-commercial.zip) and SDK Tools (SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3-windows.exe). I was able to use sencha command as tutorial Getting Started with Sencha Touch 2 explains.
2 days ago, i downloaded again Sencha Touch SDK files on a new pc, but this time, zip file was different, it was a sencha-touch-188.8.131.52-commercial.zip, 2.1 instead of 2.0., it's content was different. However, download's Tools link it's 2.0.0-beta3. As result, I could not use sencha generate app command on cmd, i got the follow error for that folder:
"The current working directory (...)isnot a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder.Runningin backwards compatible mode."
I brought back the zip i downloaded before and it worked just fine.
Question... Is there a SenchaSDKTools-2.1.0-beta3-windows.exe to download? Where?? Why does that 18.104.22.168 zip is not recognized as a sencha folder?
Where can i found data about differences between 2.1 and 2.0??
For ST 2.1.0, you need to download Sencha Cmd and use it instead of the SDK Tools.

I was wondering whether Ishmael was a Gentile, because that would seem to mean that an animal slaughtered by him would be non Kosher.

Everyone was a gentile then. So, yes, his slaughtered animals would not meet the standards of what we call "kosher". But don't worry: no one around at that time was required to eat only kosher.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe (Likkutey Sichos vol. 15 pg. 192 and footnote 12-13 there) asserts that (unlike Eisav who the Gemora calls an apostate Jew), Yishmael did not have the legal status of a Jew. He cites the view of many commentators, that only "in Yitzchok will be called your seed" (Genesis 21:12), whereas Yishmael was not considered the seed of Avraham and was disinherited (verse 10 there: "Drive out this handmaid and her son, for the son of this handmaid shall not inherit with my son, with Isaac"). For further elaboration he references to a lengthier discussion on the topic of whether Yishmael was considered Jewish in "Beis Ha'otzar" (Rabbi Yosef Engel, Klal Aleph Ois Gimmel and Ois Yud Ches).
Two verses later, God said to Abraham, "Be not displeased concerning the lad and concerning your handmaid; whatever Sarah tells you, hearken to her voice, for in Isaac will be called your seed."
