WHAT IS THE FATALITY RATE ON A RURAL INTERSTATE? Not in the article? Hmmm Here's some friendly facts: The fatality rate is 0.67 deaths on rural interstates -- FAR, FAR lower than rates up to 4.63 on other rural roads. Why are rates so high elsewhere? Fatal crashes are commonly side-impacts at intersections, head-ons into opposing traffic separated by only inches of yellow paint, and single-vehicles impaled on trees, poles, and run off sharp curves. All those hazards are 'designed out' of interstates, so they're the FASTEST, SAFEST, most FUEL-EFFICIENT roads. They have the lowest rates of so-called 'speed-related crashes'. They carry long-distance truckers, traveler, and tourists. They deserve a higher speed limit!

You won't find any laptops, PDA's or cell phones in the classrooms at Bowling Green High School.
Principal Gary Fields says, "I think the rational to not allow students to have cell phones or pagers are that it disrupts the school day."
But nowadays there's another reason not to have them in the classroom, cheating.
Fields says, "If a student wants to cheat- be it with a PDA, be it with a cell phone, or the age-old cheatsheet in their shoe or on their hands- those things are going to happen."
But students say teachers could monitor these devices to keep cheating from going on.
Amanda Hurt is a sophomore at BGHS. She says, "yeah, but during a test it's really hard. You can't just get out your cell phone so it's harder to cheat anyway."
Aric Johnson is also a sophomore. He says, "I think it's fine. I think that stuff has been created to help us. But I think the teacher should let us use it, but in a test situation, expect us to know it good enough that we don't need it."
And cell phones aren't the only devices that make it easy for students to cheat. Websites also make it easier for students to cheat. Offering papers to students on the Internet sometimes means cheating is just a click away.
Johnson says, "Everything's on the Internet. I mean, you can cheat really easy on that. I have before, I'm not gonna lie."
Fields says, "We've had to deal with some students who have done that. One thing we want to do is teach students there are consequences in high school, but if that happens to you at Western or another university that can mean your dismissal from the university."
Fields says he knows there's always a possibility students could cheat, but he says that's why schools have honor codes and if they violate the code by cheating there will be consequences.

BMW names new vice president of finance
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 5:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 5:18 p.m.
Spartanburg County-based BMW Manufacturing Co. Wednesday named Sherry Coonse McCraw vice president of finance and production control.
McCraw, a 20-year veteran of the local plant, replaces Sean Noonan, who will relocate to Munich to help manage the automaker's real estate portfolio.
"Sherry has devoted her entire career to engineering and planning in the manufacturing industry," said BMW Manufacturing Co. President Josef Kerscher, in a statement. "Her experience will be a great asset to BMW's senior management team."
The company said McCraw has been instrumental in leading the plant's major expansion investments throughout her tenure.
She managed the $900 million investment the company announced last January to add 1.6 million square feet to the plant's 4 million-square-foot footprint, add production of the X4 and increase overall annual volume to 350,000 vehicles by the end of 2014.
Prior to joining BMW, McCraw worked as a material handling engineer for Sara Lee Knit Products in Winston-Salem, N.C.
In 1990, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in textile engineering with a concentration in mechanical engineering from North Carolina State University. In college, she was also a Coffee Foundation Academic Scholar and a University Academic Merit Scholar.
She is married to Kevin McCraw, who also works for BMW. The couple has a daughter.

Bad people are bad because that's what society makes them out to be; if killing wasn't a crime, murderers would just be your natural everyday human beings. Its a twisted, warped view, but that's what kind of world humanity has made it to be. Fact is, its ideas like hell that makes us what we really are; scared, sniveling, pathetic bags of meat that want to cling onto life like cockroaches and never let go. To do everything, to dream, to push our limits, to thrive in the stupidity that we've created. If death meant something better to everyone, we wouldn't fear it, we wouldn't have any need to push the limitations of our imaginations, hence, we wouldn't ever need to create the horrors that currently exist. Then again, that's just evolution I suppose.. Well, that's all just my view on things, make sense of it if you can. Or don't, not like it really matters either way.

7 Incredible Scientific Innovations Held Back by Petty Feuds
#3. The Darwin Versus Owen Flame War
What Their Feud Cost Us:
Public acceptance of the Theory of Evolution.
Charles Darwin may have been one of the most influential scientists in all of history, but the Theory of Evolution might have never existed in its current form without the contributions of Richard Owen. Some historians believe Owen actually beat Darwin to the theory, but he was too scared of religious persecution to publish it. He'd be kicking himself now if he wasn't so dead.
Though it appears he was always a zombie.
Owen was royally pissed when Darwin published the idea without crediting him--so pissed, that he put on a wig and fake moustache and started slandering Darwin to anyone who would listen. Under a false name, Owen wrote malicious reviews praising himself and calling Darwin a smelly monkey. Darwin retorted by calling Owens unscrupulous and narrow-minded, and every Sunday the newspapers would publish an insulting letter from one side to the other. Offensive cartoons were involved.
One of Owen's many contributions.
The Aftermath:
For the general public, seeing a couple of scientists engaging in a weepy schoolyard tiff over a public forum made an absolute farce out of a theory that was already very difficult for them to accept. The genius of Darwin and Owen was overshadowed by the fact that John Q. Layman saw these two grumpy old men bitching at each other and concluded that neither knew what the hell they were talking about.
An idea that would reappear in network sitcoms later.
The damage lasted for decades, and even now the strongest opposition to evolution is based on Owen's work.
Even more tragic was that Darwin's ongoing flame war distracted him so much that he never got around to completing what is known as his "Big Book." That's right, On The Origin of Species was only ever meant as a basic outline for an even more ambitious textbook that would have made Origin look like a crayon coloring book in comparison.
We colored it anyway.
Richard Owen, also an impressive guy who did a lot for the field of paleontology including personally coining the word "dinosaur," was ruined for his childish behavior and never did anything else significant except get himself kicked out of every major scientific community and become hated by evolutionists everywhere.
#2. The Bone Wars
What Their Feud Cost Us:
Years of progress in paleontology, countless fossils.
Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh started out as friends who shared an unhealthy fascination with dinosaur bones. However, like any good story about feuds, the two soon became bitter enemies who stopped at nothing to sabotage the other.
Since they were both digging in the same places, their teams were often stepping on each other's toes and there are at least two recorded occasions when violent fights broke out. Although we'd like to think that the two teams used dinosaur bones to club each other, in reality they just used rocks and dynamite. Quite often, dig sites were blown up or buried so that the other amateur paleontologist wouldn't steal some fossils.
"Eureka! Quick! Bury it."
However, their recklessness in the field was nothing compared to the poor work they did labeling the fossils once they brought them back. Between the two of them, they managed to "discover" the same fossil of Uintatherium about 20 times, naming it something different each time.
Very often they would put different skulls on the same skeletons and declare a new find, all in order to have a higher score than their competition.
Like good enemies, Cole and Marsh didn't limit their competition to dinosaur bones; they wrote countless articles trying to insult the other, often without any care about proper research. Several of these articles reached the general press, and paleontologists all over the world lowered their head in shame as the general public laughed at the ridiculous feud.
The Aftermath:
The greatest contributions that Cope and Marsh made to paleontology were ironically from the boxes of fossils that they simply didn't get around to sabotaging yet.
"Alright! My box of miscellaneous, unlabeled animal remains!"
In the meantime, the confusion caused by their Spy vs. Spy-like antics lasted for generations and even caused some paleontologists to quit in disgust. The entire field of study wound up with a bad reputation for comical Rocky and Bullwinkle behavior. It took decades to revise all their discoveries and put all the skeletons back together the way they were actually dug up. And there's no telling how many valuable fossils were destroyed by these guys launching bombs at each other from rival digs.
#1. Plate Tectonics? Heresy!
What The Feud Cost Us:
The ability to predict earthquakes.
Alfred Wegener was probably the most badass meteorologist in all of history. He flew in hot air balloons in order to study the climate, and was the first person to spend a winter on the North Pole icecap, where he narrowly avoided death several times.
It took a lot more balls to be a meteorologist back in those days.
While he wasn't climbing glaciers, Wegener was the guy who discovered the then-revolutionary idea of continental drift and plate tectonics, an astounding theory that in one fell swoop explained the existence of mountains, earthquakes and volcanoes in a way that didn't rely upon the wrath of Zeus.
Zeus was not pleased.
One researcher commented, "If we are to believe [this] hypothesis, we must forget everything we have learned in the last 70 years and start all over again."
Presumably because they didn't want to start all over again, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists organized a whole symposium for the sole purpose of discrediting Wegener's ideas. Their attacks were fierce and basically consisted of calling him a bunch of names, instead of confronting his theory. Since most independent research supported Wegener's ideas, the association also published a series of papers aimed solely at attacking the continental drift theory and anyone who supported it. We wouldn't be surprised if Wegener woke up one morning with a horse's head on his pillow.
Geologists don't fuck around.
Unfortunately, Wegener never had the chance to respond to these papers because he died doing something badass. The official version of the story is that he froze during an expedition to the North Pole, but we prefer to believe he rode into the sunset on the back of a polar bear.
Wegener was last seen handing out gifts to those he judges as good.
The Aftermath:
Wegener's research is like the Rosetta Stone for earthquake prediction, and as a result we can now tell with 90 percent accuracy where earthquakes will occur (though we can't yet figure out when they will occur, obviously).
This wasn't much help during the 36 years it took for the scientific community to admit their mistake, and it took the invention of radio magnetism to make continental drift so obvious that they couldn't ignore it anymore.
Facts can be used to prove anything that's even remotely true.
That's 36 more years that we might have had to better prepare for 2012, people.

I would like a proof that $e$ isn't a fraction $\frac{a}{b}$, for $a,b \in Z$ and $mdc(a,b)=1$.
Just a observation =) I'd like a proof with fractions, not about $e$ irrationality or if $e$ is transcendental. In other words, prove $e$ is not a fraction prove it is irrational, but, I need a prove to this irrationality using fractions, is there any?

I created new application "Bugreport" and changed default sass namespace to undefined, because i want to style components with both namespaces, Ext and Bugreport. Then, I write style for ExtJS panel using ui mixin. It works and looks right in modern browsers, but not in old IE. Older IE are emulating in IE11 with Developer Tools IE5-8 modes.
- > sencha -sdk [path_to_extjs_framework] generate app bugreport bugreport

Moved to Cmd Forums.
15 Jan 2014 10:23 AM #4
Have you added your custom UI to the manifest for sass/example/theme.html? Unless you do, Sencha Cmd won't know which UIs to generate images for. There's a guide on how to add your UI to the manifest in the "Slicing Images for CSS3 effects in IE" section of the theming guide.
16 Jan 2014 1:45 AM #5
Yes. But there is no difference. In the case described above I've got a build-time message:

When adding a manifest in \sass\example\custom.js and rebuild:
Ext.theme.addManifest( { xtype: 'panel', ui: 'bug' } );

But no visual changes after browser cache clear and restart.
23 Jan 2014 1:45 AM #6
I've read latest Release Notes for Sencha Cmd 126.96.36.199, seems similar bug is fixed:

Abstract: The Politics of Public Display: Archaeology, Museums and Artifacts from the Holy Land
In 2002 the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) displayed the James Ossuary – a commonplace limestone burial box from the 1st century CE bearing the Aramaic inscription "James, Son of Joseph, Brother of Jesus". Timed to coincide with the annual meetings of the Society of Biblical Literature and the American Schools of Oriental Research, the ROM brought the ossuary together with an audience of experts. With this display the museum took on simultaneous roles: custodian of a sacred relic, a shaper of public interpretation, and as a fiduciary institution. Recent acquisitions of Dead Sea Scrolls and other biblical artifacts by academic institutions like Azusa Pacific University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary demonstrate that the desire to "own", display and interpret the past continues to an important aspect of institutional missions., missions which also have competing roles. This lecture will examine the differing strands of obligation – obligation to the public; to students; to board members; the academic community; the country of origin; and ultimately to the archaeological record. Using case studies of artifacts from the Holy Land we will investigate the politics of public display and the role of the museum.

Day two is upon me! Wow that went fast. Sometimes I wonder if there really is 24 hours in a day or by some sick consequence my days are shorter then previously advertised. Oh well, I guess there is no reason to complain so I might as well jump right on in!
Last night I was thinking about this challenge a bit. My cohorts and I are used to making rather long blog posts on a vareity of WoW related topics but in order to maximize the potential of this challenge I figured I'd keep these posts to brief minimum. I'm sure there will be some posts that will spin wildly out of control (as usual) but I think the true spirit of the challenge has smaller posts in mind. On that note, I'm also going to make this 20 day challenge a weekday event. With approximately 20 weekdays in a month I figured that would make it nice and even. I'll try and keep this one short.
I started FI back in 2008 as a creative outlet for all the fun I was having in Azeroth on my hunter. While I was leveling him I used a whole plethora of online resources (from blogs to databases) and I felt like perhaps I could give back or at least contribute to the very community that helped me. I didn't know much about blogging short of my shortlived days playing around with LiveJournal, so I just rolled with the punches and learned on the fly. Not many people in my guild knew about my blog or even that I would post on it. There was a time when I would cross post my guides and information on both the blog and guild website. This continued for a short period of time and FI fell by the wayside while I began to raid fairly regularly.
Around the middle of 2010, Gordrin (who was a guildy and our raid leader) came to me asking about making a WoW blog. He was also always posting information about Protection Paladins on the guild website and worked with other tanks to improve their skills. After a brief conversation (basically boring him to death about blogging logistics) he simply said "well, can I just blog on your blog?" - the rest is history. Since that time our traffic and readership has seemingly grown exponentially (which is always fun) and we've had a few other contributors come and go.
At the end of the day I love playing WoW. I love talking about WoW and writing about WoW. I love (and I am also shocked) that people are even interested in what I have to write about WoW. Finally, I'm glad that I have the ability to write about WoW and will continue to do so for as long as I can.
Until tomorrow!

I want to associate Term Store with the sitecollection that is migrated to new environment after migration. I have replicated the Term Store at destination, what now left is the association of the columns to the term store. If you have previously done the same or can give me an idea about doing it let me know.
If you go to Central Admin > Application management you will find a link called Service Application Association.
Make sure your web application is associated with the correct term store and associate it if not.
Once that is done, you can go to your web application > Site Settings > Term store management and check the term store association.
Once your terms are resolving correctly, you can check couple of metadata columns to see if its working or not.
By default if you are using the same term store as the source it should work without touching any of the columns. If term store is totally different you have to do lots of manual work.
You can use a Feature or manually connect the fields to the Term Stores in Managed Metadata Service Application. In feature-based approach, it can done in an Event Receiver for the feature. See this example 1 and example 2
How have you been doing it in old Farm?

WebMatrix is here - love it or hate it. It's a very interesting framework that Microsoft has created and despite popular opinion - it's capable of much more than "quick, simple and easy scripter apps". In this talk Rob will show you what he's been working on lately - extracting a set of data utilities that flex the dynamic nature of C# 4.0 as well as the beginnings of a simple, RSpec-ish test harness for your site.
Recorded live via Live Meeting as part of mvcConf 2
Oops, something didn't work.
Great Video Rob! Any chance you could post the code for the BDD Helpers to your github repo?
Great! I love to use C# dynamic with ASP.NET Web Pages framework (WebMatrix). So I started a project http://rabbit.codeplex.com to try it out.
This video is exactly I need.

Charlotte, N.C. - The Charlotte 49ers (2-0) conclude their three-game season opening home stand when they face Lamar (0-2) in Halton Arena, Saturday, November 17 at 7:30 pm. The game is part of a 49ers basketball doubleheader as the 49ers women's basketball team plays Florida Gulf Coast at 5 pm.
The last time the 49ers were in action, Charlotte defeated Charleston Southern, 66-53, in a game that was broadcast nationally on the NBC Sports Network this past Tuesday. Chris Braswell led the 49ers with 21 points and 12 rebounds for his 23rd career double-double. Pierria Henry scored 13 points. Willie Clayton scored eight points and grabbed nine rebounds in the game.
This game will mark the third meeting between Charlotte and Lamar. The series is tied at one game apiece. Charlotte defeated Lamar, 91-86, in Las Cruces, New Mexico in their first meeting, December 12, 1975. Lamar defeated Charlotte at home, 72-54, in their last meeting, November 19, 2011. Former 49ers Derrio Green led the 49ers with 19 points in that game.

Jason Bourne is almost superhuman in terms of mental/physical skill, yet he manages to be shot on the back twice by a supposedly not-as-well-trained dictator. This is a guy who noticed that Bourne spared his life, so it doesn't make much sense that he proceeded to shoot him, or that he even managed such a feat. Is there some explanation that I missed, or is it a shortcut/oversight by the writers?
I don't think it's a shortcut or oversight. Bourne's skills are depicted as superhuman, but even he can't dodge or outrun bullets fired at point blank range. If all had gone according to plan he would have killed the dictator and walked out. Once Bourne made the decision not to kill his target he was in an entirely different situation. Instead of walking away from a dead body, he was running away from someone who was armed, scared, angry, and alert.

There is a lot of noise around Portal 2 these days. I've looked at several videos and I'm interested in buying it.
The "problem" (you'll tell me if it's one or not) is that I never played Portal, the first game of the series.
So my question is simple, should I play Portal before play to Portal 2 because:
- The story is such that you'd better play the first game first to understand the whole plot.
- Some concepts are explained in the first game and not repeated in the second one, which would make me miss some little things.
- Any other things you might think of.

No. 18 Nebraska shows knack for the big comeback
OMAHA, Neb. — Nebraska is living a little too close to the edge for coach Bo Pelini's comfort. Nothing wrong with that, as long as the Cornhuskers keep winning. The 18th-ranked Huskers have overcome double-digit deficits in the second half in three of their four Big Ten wins — and they still have three conference games to play.

I'm looking for a movie from the late 50's or early 60's about a female alien invader from a frigid planet who "lands" in the Antarctic (Arctic?) near a research station manned by 3 scientists. She had telepathic/hypnotic powers and wore rather skimpy clothing for the weather (somewhat like Vena from Rocky Jones). Thought it was called Deep Freeze but can't find it under that title. I think it was an American international film. Saw it on TV when I was 9 or 10 so it was dated by 1965. Any ideas?
You are right about everything except one. Deep Freeze was the title of an episode of the television show, Warner Brothers Presents. An IMDb comment reads thus:

Inspiration Is All Around Us!
I just wanted to say something about the last post from Mad Dogg Headquarters and Jenifer Walsh. I read the post three times because I just could not believe her story! Wow! I have several friends with MS and I was just so blown away by Jenifer's strength and courage to get up to the Instructor bike and lead a class! We all know it takes a lot of guts and grit to lead a class, but also the physical strength and cardiovascular fitness to do it well. YOU ARE AWESOME JENIFER WALSH!!
What was really very interesting was that fact that Jenifer's story was posted the same week Diana
Nyad completed her historic and amazing swim from Cuba to the USA! And at the age of 64! Another example of mind over body and how the human spirit is so much stronger than perhaps many of us may realize. My father always told me when things get tough, the tough get going! I think this is what he was talking about.
Things happen in threes. So now I sit and wait for a
third story of human strength and courage to show up in the news. What other mind blowing obstacle will appear
before another average human being and what internal superman like powers will appear and overcome whatever is put before her. We are an amazing species, many times appearing small and fragile, but deep within us all lies a kryptonite like power that is just waiting to be tested!
We now sit on the eve of 911, and stories of past heroes will be told again. Men and women with super human powers that survived and rescued. Let us all never forget the iconic stories of the human spirit from that terrible day.
Thank you Jenifer Walsh, thank you Diana Nyad
for showing us your super human powers! I am inspired, empowered and uplifted by your stories. Next time the universe throws an obstacle in my path I will think of you and pull myself up from my boot strings and get
going! Thank you! All the best!

The World Spinning and Sports Conditioning Conference (WSSC) is one month behind us already! I don't know how it manages to pass so quickly. We yearn all year long for January to arrive so we can pore over the registration packets and choose our favorite sessions. Then we wait until May to fly into Miami to take part in an epic weekend of inspirational fitness education, cultivating old/new friendships and reigniting our passion for Spinning®. The journey begins an evening before the official conference kickoff with Josh Taylor's Thursday Night Ride. If you've never been to the WSSC Conference, imagine a ballroom filled with 300 brand new Spinner® bikes lined up in perfect rows. Up front, the sight of a large stage, two huge screens and massive speakers induce giddy feelings reminiscent of a child on Christmas Morning. It's hard not to get excited after feeling the energy of the room. Each year, the Thursday Night Ride has a theme and Josh's bike is painted to match the theme. The bike is a source of great anticipation as everyone wonders how it can be better than the year before. This year I almost didn't attend WSSC, but when I found out the kickoff to the biggest Spinning® event of the year was FIGHTER PILOT, I simply had to be there. Why? There are many reasons, but in this case, I wanted to be a part of this ride because the ride IS my life. My husband is a real life fighter pilot. Having completed five deployments, he's spent almost half of our 12 years together out to sea on a carrier. I am extremely proud of what he and all of the service members willingly endure to ensure freedom at home. Josh's ride hit a target directly on my heart and I had to be in that room to show my support for our great Navy. I know it probably sounds cliché' but it's true. This is my third WSSC and I've never missed a Thursday Night Ride. This year was special because my husband was able to attend with me.
The evening began as 300 people clad in red and gray "VF-1 Wolfpack" jerseys lined the tables outside the Grand Ballroom with their coveted Boarding Pass waiting for the signal to enter the room. People buzzed around the hallway and the energy in the air was palpable as directions were given over a microphone. At the same moment, friends were reuniting, camera flashes going off, smiles and anticipation everywhere. Standing in line, I felt a mix of nerves and excitement. I had ridden a shorter version of Fighter Pilot the previous year and knew how awesome this two-hour version was going to be. I wondered how many other people in the crowd were connected to military and what it would mean to each of them. Finally, the doors opened and the A group started filing into the Ballroom. After three or four minutes, the B group was next, which was the group my husband and I were in. We entered the double doors to the room illuminated by blue iridescent bulbs and quiet chatter from the people who were in the room. There was already a small line forming up front to take pictures with Josh and his "haze gray" bike that looked like it had real rivets up and down the frame. The bike was gorgeous and quite impressive in its authentic representation of the first Navy Tomcat squadron. I swiftly claimed a bike about five rows back and dropped my bag beside it. The next fifteen minutes was spent setting up the bike and getting water bottles filled, shoes fitted correctly, pre-ride photos snapped and saying hello to those around me. Chatter grew to an excited buzz and then to cheers and whistles as Mad Dogg CEO John Baudhuin and Josh took the stage to open the show. (Part II next week)

Jewels: International term referring to the rubies, sapphires or other gemstones used as bearings in a watch movement; These bearings are set to reduce friction in a movement and help the delicate parts of the movement work smoothly and with great precision.
Mechanical Movement: Type of movement where the winding crown is used to power the movement; Needs to be manually wound after an elapsed period of time; Sometimes accompanied by a exhibition back to display its old-fashioned sensibilities.
Mineral Crystal: Technical term for glass; Standard crystal used in timepieces today.
Minute Repeater: Timepiece that sounds hours, quarters and minutes as requested.
Moon Phase: Complication on a timepiece that displays the various stages of the moon; Stages include new moon, first quarter, full moon and last quarter.
Mother-of-Pearl: Dial material that has been cultivated from the inside of certain shells; Provides an iridescent surface and gives timepieces a rich aesthetic.
Movement: Assembly making up the principal elements and mechanisms of a watch or clock; Includes the winding and setting mechanism, the mainspring, the train, the escapement and the regulating elements.
Perpetual Calendar: Complication that exhibits the days in a Gregorian calendar, the most common calendar used today; Automatically adjusts to months with different amounts of days in them.
Power Reserve: Time a watch will continue running based on the movement's residual winding of its mainspring; In quartz and digital watches, this can also refer to the amount of energy left in the battery.
Push Button Dual Deployant: Similar to deployant clasps, with the addition of two small hidden push buttons that spring your clasp open.
Quartz Movement: Most common type of movement used in modern timepieces; Vibrating at a high frequency and placed under an electric current, quartz movements provide accurate time without the need to wind.
Repeater: Complex watch mechanism that sounds hours, quarters or minutes, or repeats them on request; Originally designed to help the wearer to tell the time in the dark.
Retrograde: Hour, minute, second or calendar hand that moves across a scale and resets to zero at the end of its cycle.
Sapphire Crystal: High-end crystal that adds greater value to a timepiece; The only natural substance able to harm a sapphire crystal is a diamond.
Skeletonization: Cutting away unnecessary metal from the movement to allow the wearer to actually see through the movement; Any part that is not needed is carved out, leaving only the movement's skeleton.
Subdial: Smaller dials located on the main dial of a timepiece; Used to measure seconds, minutes or days.
Tachymeter: Popular complication that measures distance based on speed; Typically located along the outer rim of a dial.
Water resistant: Watches described as simply "water resistant" can handle light moisture, such as a rainstorm or splashes from a sink, but they should not be completely submerged in water for any length of time; A commonly used measurement in water resistance is ATM, which stands for "atmospheres" or the amount of pressure a watch can withstand before leaking. About Leather:
Commonly acquired from cattle, leather is animal skin that is typically a byproduct of the nation's meat industry. Animals such as bison, deer, elk, moose, pigs, goats, rabbits, sheep and caribou can also be used. Once the skin is removed from the animal, it is quickly preserved in salt. It is then cleaned, put into a chilling machine to lower the hide's temperature, and tanned to prevent deterioration. Upon completion of this process, the leather is ready to be made into retail items. Leather goods are strong, flexible, supple and long lasting.

Every bicycle I have seen in my life has its gears and chain on the right side? Why is this? The only thing I could find regarding this question is this forum topic, which speculates about things such as the prevalence of right-handed people, the idea that it is easier to produce right-handed threads since they are more common, and the traditions of mounting a horse, but I couldn't find anything definite. Does anyone here have any idea?

It's likely a matter of convention, dating back to the first "safety bicycles" introduced in the 19th century.
Drivetrains are on the right today because that's what bicycle builders decided to do in the late 1800s. As to why they originally decided to put drivetrains on the right, it's probably because rear cogs used to be screwed on (some still are). Standard threads dictate rear cogs be on the right, so that pedaling force tightens the cogs. (If they were on the left, pedaling force would likely loosen cogs.)
Today, a left-hand drivetrain would be problematic. Things like pedals and bottom brackets have threads that are reversed/asymmetric. They're made specifically to work when the drivetrain is on the right—tightening themselves as the rider pedals. If these standard parts are placed on a bicycle with a drivetrain on the right, then those same parts will be loosening themselves as the rider rides.
It is a little known fact that the Wright Brothers invented the left-hand thread for the left-hand pedal in 1900. Therefore, up until then it is highly unlikely that bicycles used any left-hand threads on them at all. Therefore, as noted by @Eric Silva the chainset could have been on the right because that is the simplest way for the sprocket to have been bolted on.
Nowadays we take threaded nuts and bolts for granted, however, it has been a long journey of understanding to get threaded connectors standardised and working as well as they do now. Steel on steel threaded connectors of the past were far from reliable and far from standardised. Therefore for 'Safety Bicycle 1' there would have been no problem to have made a track-bike style locknut or a left-hand thread to secure the sprocket if it was felt that it was needed to place the chainset on the left.
As noted by @onestop the safety bicycle, like all the best inventions of that period, was a British design. It was designed for riding on the left with roads that did have pavements (sidewalks) and kerbs. Mounting and dismounting the bike from the kerb, pushing the bike and parking the bike with a pedal on the kerb works out a lot better with the chainset on the right (if you are in a country that 'drives' on the correct left-side of the road). Clothing gets to stay cleaner and that would have been a huge benefit in Victorian Britain when front-loading automatic washing machines weren't exactly commonplace. These are lucky benefits and probably were not uppermost considerations in the design of 'Safety Bicycle 1'.
Placing the gears away from the kerb-side of the bike made a lot of sense in the days before cars took over when you could park your bike with it being supported by a pedal on the kerb. Doing so with the kerb on the left means that you are unlikely to damage the chainset or derailleur particularly if the bike falls over. Up until the 1980's this was the proper way to park a bicycle (if my memories of Cycling Proficiency Test serve me correctly).
As for pushing the bicycle and how that works out better if the bike is on the right hand side, this works out better in countries that drive on the left for all the reasons @onestop cited and more.
According to the Highway Code you are supposed to walk a bicycle on the right, facing on-coming traffic, not on the left with traffic coming from where you cannot see. With narrow pavements as found on country lanes you can push the bike with the bike on your right controlled by your (for 90% of the population) stronger right hand, the bike on the pavement with yourself on the road. When on-coming traffic comes along it is relatively easy to step up onto the pavement to clear the road for the on-coming car(s) and you don't have to drag the bike up and down the kerb.
Like @onestop I also do the turning around thing when leaning the bike against a left-side wall - glad I am not the only one with this quirk.
All considered, although the chainset on the right works out best for countries that drive on the left for a whole host of reasons, it was probably the lack of left-hand threads in bicycle design that was the deciding factor. And, your little gem of 'I did not know that' for today is that the Wright Brothers invented the left-hand thread left-pedal.
Why did early manufacturers of safety bicycles put the drivetrain on the right? I have no evidence for this, but it's always struck me that a large part of the reason is surely that the safety bicycle originated in a country where you drive on the left.
When you're pushing your bicycle, or mounting or dismounting it, you're less likely to get chain oil on your clothing if you stand on the side away from the drivetrain. But it also seems sensible to walk or stand on the footway (sidewalk) and hold the bicycle in the road (note the same principle applies even when there's no footway - you want to stand away from passing traffic). Hence in a country where you drive on the left, it makes sense to stand on the left of the bicycle and therefore the drivetrain should be on the right.
I've found that one secret to avoiding getting oil on my trousers is always to stand to the left of my bicycle when pushing, mounting and dismounting, and always to park it with the right (drivetrain) side against the wall or stand. This even means that when I stop on the left side of the road and lean it against a wall to my left, I turn it around first. But it becomes difficult to keep to this rule when I cycle in countries where they drive on the right - i'd be standing in the road when mounting or dismounting.
You need to look at single speed track threaded cog:
The right-handed thread was most common at that time.

Is there a reason that a semi-colon was chosen as a line terminator instead of a different symbol?
I want to know the history behind this decision, and hope the answers will lead to insights that may influence future decisions.

We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
In English the semicolon is used to separate items in a list of statements, for example
When programming you are separating a number of statements and using a full stop could be easily confused for a decimal point. Using the semicolon provides an easy to parse method of separating the individual program statements while remaining close to normal English punctuation.
Edit to add
Edit again
As a final remark, I think that there has been more time spent on these answers and comments than was spent in deciding to use the semicolon to end a statement when designing the first language that used it in this way.
Many languages use syntax that is modeled after C (which was modeled after B - thanks @Crollster). As can be seen in the comments, there is a long chain of such languages... B was inspired by PL/I, which was preceded by ALGOL at using the
Since in C the statement terminator is
As for why it was selected as a statement terminator in C - possibly because of its use in English "to indicate interdependent statements".
C was also invented on the PDP-11 at a time where there was limited amount of memory available for character sets, so the inventors of the languages had to work within these constraints.
FORTRAN used carriage return to delineate statements. COBOL used period. LISP didn't use anything, relying on parentheses for everything. ALGOL was the first language to use semicolon to separate statements. PASCAL followed ALGOL's lead, using semicolon to separate statements.
PL/I used semicolon to terminate statements. There is a difference, and it is easily seen in PASCAL. Ada followed PL/I's lead on this one item, rather than ALGOL's.
Semicolon as statement separator or terminator was quickly accepted by the computer science community as a useful notation, and, as far as I know, every subsequent block-structured language followed ALGOL's lead and used semicolon to separate or terminate statements.
I was told many years ago that BCPL used both semicolon AND carriage return as statement separators/terminators, but I never used the language myself and am unable to verify this. At some point, the use of carriage return to separate or terminate statements was dropped from the BCPL descendants. BCPL begat B, B begat C, C begat C++, Java, D and a whole host of things considerably less well-thought-out than PASCAL and Ada.
A few languages have used other symbols -- old versions of BASIC used a colon instead, for one example.
Ignoring the few exceptions, however, I think there are two primary reasons. The first is that you're simply looking for something unambiguous. In a typical parser, if you run into a serious enough error that you can't continue parsing the current statement, you normally try to get the parser back in sync by just skipping ahead to the statement terminator and re-start the parser from the beginning of the next statement. For that, you want something that won't normally occur anywhere else in the code, and a semicolon happens to be a symbol with little other meaning attached, so it's pretty easy to dedicate it to this purpose.
The second reason is somewhat similar, but aimed more toward people reading/using the code. Again, it comes back to the fact that the actual symbol you use doesn't matter much. There's a substantial advantage in readability to gain from using the symbol your reader is accustomed to seeing for a particular purpose, when and if possible. That doesn't mean that C is the one perfect syntax and everything else should follow it slavishly, but it does mean that enough people are familiar with that style of syntax that a vaguely similar language gains a lot (and loses very little) by following roughly the same syntax where it can.
I'd note that this is much like designing almost any other program. If I write a program that uses windows of some sort, I'll try to just use the native features of the target platform(s). Many of the decisions that embodies will be largely arbitrary, and could be done differently without any major loss of functionality -- but equally, changing them without a substantial gain in functionality just confuses users without accomplishing anything useful. The same basic principles apply to "what should terminate (or separate) statements in a language?" as "what should a scroll bar look like", or "how should a tree control work?" In all these cases, the decision is mostly arbitrary, and uniformity provides a substantial benefit in and of itself.
I'd add that much the same happens throughout many languages, just in ways that most of us are so accustomed to before programming that few people think about it. Why does everybody use "+" to indicate addition, or "-" to indicate subtraction? Because the shape of the symbol doesn't matter much, but everybody agreeing to apply the same meaning to each symbol matters a lot.
This is pretty much pure guess work, but looking at a standard QWERTY keyboard restricted to ASCII values the natural characters for termination/separation would be .!?,:; and carriage returns. of those !?: should be immediately disqualified for taking multiple keys and statement termination is going to be a very common thing. Periods would be disqualified because they are easily confused with decimal points which would make them unnecessarily complicated to be a terminator given the limited space of initial computers. carriage returns would be disqualified after lines of code had potential to be longer than what can be shown on a single line on the screen, so it would be more difficult to read a program when lines had to be scrolled horizontally, or require additional characters to create a continuation on the next line which again adds complexity. this leaves , and ; as options, of those , is used much more often in writing compared to ; so the semicolon is chosen because its the easier to type, less confusing because its adding meaning to a character with limited meaning and less complicated because special cases don't really exist with its use.
The semicolon was chosen because it was the best character based on laziness and simplicity.
Semicolon was originally proposed in Algol 60 as a statement separator, not a terminator.
Prior to Algol 60, the only high-level programming language in existence was Fortran, which required each statement to be on a separate line. Statements spanning multiple lines, like do-loops, were considered an oddity, and they were regarded as 'statement blocks'.
The designers of Algol 60 realized that statements needed a hierarchical structure (if-then-else, do-loops, case statements etc) and they could be nested inside each other. So, the idea of each statement sitting on a separate line didn't make sense any more. Sequential composition of statements of the form S1; S2; ...; Sn optionally enclosed in begin - end brackets were called compound statements, and fit into the hierarchical structure of statements envisaged by Algol 60. So, here, the semicolon is clearly a statement separator, not a terminator.
This gave rise to problems in practice. Algol 60 also had an "empty statement" which was denoted by writing nothing. So, one could write "begin S1; end" where the semicolon appears as if it is terminating S1. But the Algol 60 compiler really treated it as a separator between S1 and an invisible empty statement following it. These subtleties were a bit much for practical programmers. Having been used to line-oriented languages like Assembly and Fortran, they really thought of semicolon as a terminator for statements. When programs were written out, usually semicolon was put the at the end of the statements, like so:
a[i] := 0; i := i+1
and the semicolon really looked like a terminator for the first statement. If the programmers treated the semicolon as a terminator, then statement like this would give a syntax error:
if i > 0 then a[i] := 0; else a[i] := 1;
because the semicolon terminates the "if" and, so, the "else" becomes dangling. Programmers were thoroughly confused.
So, PL/I, which was the IBM's successor to line-oriented Fortran, decided to make the semicolon a statement terminator rather than a separator. Programmers were happy with that choice. The majority of programming languages followed suit. (Pascal resisted the trend, but its successor Ada gave up on it.)
[Note added: Wikipedia article on programming language comparisons has a nice table summarizing how semicolon is treated in various programming languages.]
It's largely an arbitrary choice. Some languages have made other choices. COBOL terminates statements with the

Rather than trying to answer your headline question, I think it's better to focus on your implicit question:
If you want to learn about programming language design and implementation history, and gain more insight into the process, then the proceedings of the History of Programming Languages Conferences are a very good place to start. (I think you will need an ACM membership to be able to access the proceedings though.)
Taking your headline question as an example question that you might want to try to answer by reading the HOPL proceedings, I'd like to offer the following point: people designing a new programming language usually do so because they consider the ones they know to be broken / deficient somehow. Their new language is, on one hand, designed to fix this deficiency. On the other hand, language designers will also copy design elements from other languages that they think are good, or they simply don't change those elements that they didn't experience a problem with.
Especially that last part is important: instead of trying to find out which programming language ever was the first one to use semicolons as terminators and why a lot of other programming languages copied that, you will probably learn more by looking at languages that did not copy it. For example, while Smalltalk took a lot of inspiration from Simula, it did not copy its syntax and in particular its use of semicolons as statement terminators. It changed terminators (separators really) to a full stop, and uses the semicolon for something else. Conversely, the first language that ever used a semicolon as a statement terminator may have had a reason to change this from what was used in languages that came before it. It's also possible that it was the first language to introduce the whole concept of a statement terminator (or did so independently of other languages) and that the semicolon was used for some reason that is now lost to time. (I suspect the latter is the case here, as none of the other answerers have been able to dig up a quote from the person who introduced the semicolon rather than offer retrofitted suppositions about why the semicolon was a good choice.) But to restate my point, I think you will learn more by looking at why language designers changed things rather than why they copied/kept them. When people change things they usually want or have to explain the change, while they don't do so when copying or keeping things the same because "why would we change it? that's just the way it's done!"
Its about visibility.
Early statement separators were the '.' as in COBOL and new line, carriage return in FORTRAN.
The CR proved limiting in that it makes it difficult to flow a statement over several lines.
Full stop caused a more interesting problem. When you read English text your brain processes the full stops at a subliminal level, you are conscious that a sentence has ended and you can pause for breath but you don't really notice the . that signaled it. Also in many fonts the '.' is the smallest possible character sometimes rendered as a single pixel. Missing or extra periods became the single most common cause of errors in COBOL programs.
So learning from early mistakes ALGOL pick a specific terminator which would allow a statement to flow over several lines, and, picked one that was visible and easily noticed by human readers. The semi-colon being both large and unusual enough in common English not to be processed subconsciously.
It was my understanding that it was chosen because there was a need for an explicit statement-terminator other than a carriage-return/new-line. Back in the days of 80-column screens, actually having a single line of code wrap across multiple lines was common enough that using \r or \n for the statement terminator would not work.
Semicolons were just convenient because they're not used in logic/math statements. As such, they don't conflict with the actual content of the statements to any significant extent.
Personally, I think the continuing use of the semicolon, together with style requirements to keep lines under 80 characters, is frankly stupid and anachronistic. Languages like python have extensively demonstrated that you can write easy to understand, concise code more easily without them. Also, if you have issues with lines that are longer then 80 chars, you need a bigger monitor.
Most languages took the semi-colon because it was already widely in use for that purpose and changing made no sense.
And considering the first languages to make that choice, you'll have to consider what are the alternatives. When designing a language, you want the needed characters to be available, and character sets at this time were coded on 6 bits, often with some patterns reserved, often with some characters not firmly defined (for a later occurrence of this, think about the national variants of ISO-646 -- the US variant is well know under the name ASCII -- which reuse the codes for "common" characters such as
There was probably no other character which could be used as statement separator as intuitively (
Another reason why use semicolon is because it is one of the characters which we do not require or use more often.
Assume we use it more often as a variable name or some thing and if semicolon would have been used as a keyword or as a operator, it would have been a symbol conflict for the compiler, hence it was important to use a symbol which is not often used in the coding.
I believe C style programming languages made it popular and then authors of new programming languages do not wanted to reinvent the wheel and they continued using it, till now.
Here are two questions: Why ALGOL got semicolon and why other languages went after it.
The first question is already answered in many ways here.
As the second one, The ALGOL was very widely used as a pseudocode language for algorithms writing. So, semicolons soon became natural for users of different languages. And naturally they were taken for the younger languages.

Syntatically, a global variable is supposed to be a variable whose name begins
$. Global variables are supposed to be available from any context in a
Ruby program. However, there are actually three different kinds of globals: true
globals, thread-local globals, and pseudo globals.
True globals associate a value with a global name, such as
Thread-local globals have the syntax of a global variable but there is a
different version of the global for each thread in the running Ruby process.
Examples of thread-local globals are
$SAFE and
$!. To see that these
values depend on the thread, consider the following code:
puts $SAFE
Thread.new do
puts $SAFE
puts $SAFE
Pseudo globals are a strict subset of names which refer not to global values but values in the current scope, like local variables. These are still referred to as global variables because they start with a dollar sign; this is a source of confusion for users.
All pseudo globals are organized around one primary pseudo global:
$~. They
are all accessing parts of
$~ and thus when
$~ changes, they all
The rest of the pseudo globals are:
$` (backtick),
$' (single
$+, and
$3, etc.
One tricky aspect of these values is that they are strictly bound to the current scope but Ruby allows them to be aliased, as is done in English.rb.
These new aliases are basically adding new local variables to all scopes, even
ones already running. Thusly, Rubinius does not fully support them. Instead we
simply provide the aliases present in English.rb by default. For example,
$MATCH can be used instead
$~, whether English.rb is included or not.
