i've been noticing strange things since I moved in my apartment. One time or another I can see airplay icon that appears out of no where, I'm concerned that someone might get access to my mac, is there anything I can do to prevent others accessing my mac?
More information about your exact situation would be helpful (i.e. are you sharing your network with roommates?), but I can provide some basic advice.
Out of the box, your Mac is relatively secure. Other people can't access your files over the network unless you explicitly enable it. The Airplay icon simply means that someone on your network has an Apple TV—it doesn't mean that they can gain access to your Mac. Some things to check however:
Those should cover the basics of making sure most people can't access your Mac over the network or directly.
There's no way anyone can access your Mac until they are physically present. Airplay is just a media protocol and media can only be sent from your Mac to a receiving device.

BeoVision Avant is a celebration of movement. An unforgettable fusion of Ultra High-Definition (4K) picture and iconic Bang & Olufsen sound that unfolds before your very eyes.
BeoVision Avant pivots gracefully to the perfect viewing angle. The distinctive beauty in the movement of this television is the culmination of fearless design and innovation.
Experience BeoVision Avant
Even when the screen is bathed in full daylight, the adaptive contrast algorithm of BeoVision Avant ensures pitch-black shadows so your eyes can enjoy the experience without strain.
While you can always add additional speakers to BeoVision Avant to fully customise your soundscape, the built-in 3-channel stereo is more than powerful enough to transform your living space.
Each pixel constantly adjusts to sensory data on a room's lighting.
Experience darker areas of a screen burst into life.
Our eyes constantly adjust automatically to lighting conditions without us noticing. Bang & Olufsen's Automatic Picture Control brings this to your television. A built-in sensor in BeoVision 11 measures the full 360 degrees of light around the room. This nerve center collects instant lighting data that allows the television to automatically adjusting colours, sharpness and contrast in the same way our brains adapt our eyes to changing light.
There's a huge difference between watching daytime news in a room flooded with light and cozying up in front of a movie in the dark. Bang & Olufsen television adapts seamlessly to these different conditions, constantly adjusting its image to avoid strain on the eyes. Even light reflected off white walls behind your BeoVision 11 is taken into account to ensure your optimal viewing pleasure.
At Bang & Olufsen, viewing pleasure is our ultimate focus. Our image engineers understand that true performance lies in the perfection of the finest detail. Through meticulous analysis of minute and complex interactions between eyes and brain they have optimised image contrast down to the very last pixel to achieve the ideal balance of shadow and light. From the very brightest star, to the deepest, darkest night, we make sure your eyes don't miss a thing.
Images with little contrast are incredibly hard on eyes because our mind struggles to identify shapes and details. Adaptive Contrast uses incredible sensitive algorithms to enhance an image, revealing details in areas of the screen otherwise lost in darkness.
Because an LCD display can't reproduce true, pitch-black without turning off its backlighting, our image engineers have gone to exceptional lengths to ensure that our screens are capable of doing just that.
Bang & Olufsen's LCD backlighting is divided into segments that can be dimmed or switched off individually. When an area of the screen needs to appear darker the specific segment can be targeted. Even when darker areas wander across the screen, the corresponding backlight segments are dimmed accordingly. Not only is this energy efficient, it also ensures extraordinary and consistent contrast.
In the darkness of the cinema we happily forget that a movie is simply a series of images projected 24 times per second. In the living room, under the scrutiny of bright lights, however, our eyes are keener and our brains far less forgiving. Suddenly, 24 images per second don't appear as fluid, especially with scenes involving high speed action.
Bang & Olufsen's Adaptive Judder Cancellation was engineered to mimic the incredible interaction between eyes and brain. Our sophisticated technology interpolates additional frames from the original source imagery and removes judder by increasing playback speed according to the lighting conditions in the room.
Prepare to enter a new dimension in 3D entertainment. The world's leading image specialists have done their utmost to challenge your perception of reality, constantly cross-checking the 3D image on a BeoVision 11 against lighting data from the room to deliver unparalleled, immersive depth and quality.
The combination of the 3D optical effect and the tinted 3D eyeware can make the appearance of 3D images much darker than desired. Bang & Olufsen dynamically adjust contrast to compensate for this, achieving a far more pleasing result than the conventional method of simply boosting backlighting.
The magic of the cinema without leaving home.

Explore BeoVision 11
Experience perfect surround sound with several speakers through our TrueImage up- and downmix algorithm. Developed to optimize your speaker's audio distribution it ensures that, anywhere in the room, you'll feel like you're in the sweet spot.
Blu-ray is about bringing Hollywood effects straight to your living room. With Bang & Olufsen surround sound, you get just that. Even if you have less than the seven speakers and a subwoofer that most Blu-ray discs were optimised for, Bang & Olufsen will automatically down-mix your sound accordingly. Any dialogue, heavy bass or subtle background music is optimised for your setup. Leaving you the simple task of enjoyment.
Standard speakers center sound around a 'sweet spot'. When you move out of this limited area you will immediately notice it. With Bang & Olufsen Acoustic Lens based speakers this doesn't happen. Our 180 degree horizontal sound dispersion expands the sweet spot into a sweet area - a far more satisfying experience.
The illustration shows you the difference Bang & Olufsen sound makes. Or, you can visit your nearest Bang & Olufsen store to experience it for real.

Visual impact isn't just about pleasing the eyes. Our ears, too, are crucial in shaping our perception of reality. By combining stunning image quality with exceptional sound, Bang & Olufsen TV delivers experiences way beyond the sum of its dimensions.
Lean back and experience TV with powerful sound channeled through dedicated audio features. Imposing bass, custom drivers and powerful ICEpower amplifiers, honed and harnessed for an acoustic experience that's felt from top to toe.
The black curtain glides sideways to reveal the screen. Gently at first, then speeding up slightly until it disappears. This magical cinema moment is a feature of every Bang & Olufsen television, a classic experience re-interpreted for the home.
As always, the little details are lavished with attention. The sliding curtain's smooth, natural movement is the result of countless tests and calculations, as is its speed, which is precisely calibrated for the size of the screen.
With a motorized wall-bracket or stand your TV will automatically adjust its position every time you turn it on, a subtle touch of personalized service.
Like all our products, we put our motorized stands and wall brackets through exhaustive tests. Though, after watching a stand adjust over 80,000 times with constant performance, even we had to reach for the stop button.
Bang & Olufsen glass goes through incredible precision engineering to produce its instant, eye-catching clarity.
Aluminum's natural durability and strength ensures a lifetime's enjoyment.
There are only two places in the world that produce glass to Bang & Olufsen's exacting standards. This exceptional glass is then treated on both sides with anti-reflection coating to reduce unwanted reflections entering or leaving the screen. A subtle, dark tint further reduces any unwanted influences of light.
We are confident your eyes will light up the moment they experience a Bang & Olufsen screen in action. And, while they may not consciously notice the reduced reflections, an unmistakable impression will remain - that nothing was left to chance.
We treat and anodise the raw aluminum ourselves in virtually any shape or colour at our factory in Denmark, a demanding process that involves dipping each component in up to 50 different baths at exact temperatures.
Raw aluminum is incredible susceptible to even the smallest fingerprint which means we quality control and recycle a lot of parts before they're allowed to begin the treatment process.
The anodisation process preserves incredible colour and strength that barely feels the hand of time. You simply have to touch a Bang & Olufsen to sense the aluminum's cool, irresistible strength.
We can't really show you the incredible sharpness, contrast and colour here so you'll have to visit your nearest Bang & Olufsen store if you want to experience the real thing. We've designed our showrooms to be more like living-room environments so you really get a sense how the viewing experience will impact your home.

"The basic principle is that a single line can describe the idea behind a design."
In March 1978 Bang & Olufsen and then-head designer Jacob Jensen opened a special exhibit at New York's Museum of Modern Art, only the third time in the museum's history that a company's products were given their very own exhibition.
Today, fifteen Bang & Olufsen products are part of its permanent design collections. Striking examples that embody the museum's strict criteria for both quality and historical significance. Designs, in fact, that helped shape the twentieth century.
'Form follows function' is a Danish design mantra originally attributed to furniture designer Kaare Klint.
Bang & Olufsen design stems from this tradition, but our work in the 50's and 60's gave it a new twist - 'Form follows feelings' - a concept that remains contemporary, in our current collection and into the future.

I have to prove that it is imossible to write 11 in the form $p^2+4pq+q^2$ where $p$ and $q$ are integers. I tried to start a proof by contradiction like this:
$$ p^2+4pq+q^2 = 11\\ 2(p+q)^2 - (p^2 + q^2) = 11\\ 2(p+q)^2 = 11 + (p^2 + q^2) $$
I'm really not sure where to go from there, though. A pointer in the right direction would be much appreciated!

Ducks!!!!! :3
Absolutely amazing! Looks like a painting. Nature, always surprising and new!
100? 800 ducks?
Amazing shot!
I like the background vegetation, it allows the subject of this photo- The Ducks to stand out really well.
The apparent blured nature of this photo is as a result of the movement in the water body generated by the presence of the Canvasback Ducks.
A brilliant thought out capture!
Very Good. but it seems a little too blurred in the foreground.
Love it.
Fascinating picture.
Thank you for this moment to dream up.
Gran convención de patos.
well done, the movement is great
Just ducky?
I know Maryland have lots of beautiful things! Thanks for example, just perfect!

I'm attempting to brew a high gravity stout, OG 1088. Its been in the primary for two weeks. I assumed it had completed fermentation since it feremented extremely vigorously, so much so I had to use a blowoff tube (for a bucket fermenter). Once that calmed down I replaced with bubbler and it went consistently for over a week. I checked the gravity today and it is between 1032-1034, which is still rather high. Visually it appears that fermentation has complete. I used Wyeast NB NeoBritannia 1945, and think b/c of the high gravity it is just spent. I have another package of this available should I consider adding this fresh yeast to it? What kind of results can I expect if I add another entire smack pack of yeast?
Like so many things in beer, a multitude of factors could be at work.
Is this an all-grain or partial mash? It's possible that you ended up with a lot of unfermentable sugars and the yeast are just done. More yeast will have nothing to eat. In which case your beer is just done. 7.35% ABV and ~63% apparent attenuation. Not terrible.
If the yeast has pooped out, adding more yeast may or may not help. I haven't done a lot of research into it, but a friend was explaining how the enzymes that cause the current yeast to flocculate will also cause new yeast to just flocc out to the bottom and go dormant.
What temps are you keeping it at? The first thing I would try is raise the temp up a bit - since most of primary fermentation is done, I'd raise it up to ~70-72 - and gently swirl the fermenter to rouse the yeast.
No matter what, I'd definitely give a beer that big another 2-3 weeks in the fermenter.
Did you make a starter initially? If not, you seriously underpitched for a beer of that gravity. If you want to try adding more yeast, keep in mind that it takes a LOT of yeast to restart a stuck fermentation. 2-3 qt. of yeast slurry is what's usually needed. if you have a brewpub nearby where you can get some yeast, that would be your best bet. Or do you have another batch of beer around that you could use the yeast from?

Hello Forum,
In case you like to build your own 3D dual camera setup here are some pictures of my setup.
Except for one small part (*) all components are standard Nodal Ninja parts.
Here is a list of the parts:
2x NN Ultimate rings with inserts and rails,
2x NN Arca style clamps,
2x NN 1/4" screws with big knobs (NN5),
1x NN underrail, lenght 20cm (NN5),
1x aluminium plate with 2 bolts M5 (*),
1x NN ring adapter for NN rotators model R-D8, R-D12, R-D16,
1x NN rotator R-D8, R-D12, R-D16.
Besides the 3D dual camera setup you also need:
2x DSLR cameras with fisheye lenses, (can be of different brand, model and/or with different lenses),
2x synchronized camera remote controls,
1x stable tripod,
With the setup the lenses can be placed from 84mm to 115 mm apart (center to center).
The setup can be used in all situations where there is a distance of at least approx. 1.5-2 meter from objects.
You need at least 24 images around per camera but more is better so if possible shoot 36 images around, therefore the rotator R-D16 is the best choice.
On my website you can see some examples of 3D panos created with a 3D dual camera setup (left camera EOS 450D+Sigma8mm, right camera EOS 5D+Tokina 10-17@12mm):
If you don't have all parts needed to build the setup then I am sure that Bill can help you with the missing parts.
(*) The only part that I made myself is the aluminium plate that mounts the underrail to the ring adapter with 2 M5 bolts.

WHEELING - Delegate Erikka Storch knows how important Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack is to the local economy, but she also knows many of her fellow Republican lawmakers oppose the fundamental concept of gambling.
So as the House of Delegates considers a bill passed over from the state Senate this week that would lower the annual table gambling fee the state's four racetracks pay from $2.5 million to $1.5 million, Storch, R-Ohio, said the legislation's passage is not a sure thing.
"It does have some bipartisan support," Storch said. "But there are many people, especially on my side of the aisle, who just oppose the whole idea of gambling."
Last year, Mountain State voters elected 46 Republicans to the 100-member House of Delegates, which is the largest number of GOP members in many years. Jim Simms, outgoing president and general manager of the Wheeling track, had repeatedly said the facility may not renew its table gambling license in July if legislators do not lower the fee. He also said he hopes the issue does not become a partisan matter.
However, House Minority Leader Tim Armstead, R-Kanawha, said he would like to see financial figures from the Wheeling track before the body considers the bill.
"Even if they're able to justify and show us in their records and their books, again, there are many, many companies in different areas - the coal companies, the small mom-and-pop shops, the gas stations - they've all been struggling under the economic climate that we're in," Armstead said.
However, Storch recognizes the situation the Wheeling facility faces, as increased competition from new casinos in both Ohio and Pennsylvania continue to take business from the Island track.
"Obviously, for our area, the track is a vital part of our economy. I support trying to help our track," she said. "It would be very noticeable if they lost those table games employees."
The proposed legislation would lower the annual fee not just for the Wheeling track, but also for Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort in Chester, the Mardi Gras West Virginia Casino & Hotel near Charleston and the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races in the state's Eastern Panhandle.
The Senate passed the legislation by a count of 23-10. Sen. Rocky Fitzsimmons, D-Wheeling, and Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Glen Dale, have said they believe the Wheeling track will eliminate its table games this year if the current $2.5 million fee is not lowered, which could leave 105 workers without jobs.
The bill has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee as well as the Finance Committee, on which Storch sits. She said she will consider the legislation once it reaches the committee.
Delegate Randy Swartzmiller, D-Hancock, called the Senate bill a "Band-Aid" designed to provide "temporary relief."
"Wheeling Island is in the eye of the storm. They and Mountaineer are getting beat up," he said. "We have employees at these tracks that need to be taken care of.
"What people need to understand is that not all of these tracks are bringing in huge money. And 35 percent of what they get comes right off the top to go to the state," he added regarding the tax the tracks pay on table gambling.
West Virginia Lottery Commission records show that not all tracks are pulling in similar dollar amounts. Wheeling Island generated about $5.3 million worth of revenue from table gambling from July 1 through the end of February. During the same time period, the Charles Town track saw about $104.7 million from table gambling - nearly 20 times as much as the Wheeling facility.
Swartzmiller also said he favors the study bill approved in the Senate that, in Kessler's words, would evaluate the "distribution of all the gaming monies we have in the state - who is getting what, when, where and why."
Following state law, the West Virginia Lottery Commission directed at least $92 million worth of subsidies to greyhound and thoroughbred breeders during fiscal 2012, according to commission spokesman Randy Burnside.
The legislative session ends April 13. Bills must pass in both the Senate and House before they can be signed into law by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin.
"It is too early to say if this will come to a vote," Swartzmiller said. "It is definitely a bill we will be keeping our eyes on."

(AP) WASHINGTON - Michelle Obama praised the power of the arts to help young people pursue their talents as she helped hand out awards to 13 youth arts programs on Friday, including to one based in her Chicago hometown.
The work done by these after-school and other programs shows why funding the arts is necessary, the first lady said.
"If it isn't clear by now why we have to invest in the arts and we have to give kids the opportunity to pursue their gifts, you know, you just think of all the kids that are just bursting with this kind of talent and energy and need who do not have access, who do not have opportunities to display and develop these gifts," she said after an energetic dance performance by the Itefayo Youth Ensemble of Brooklyn, N.Y., one of the honorees. "Just imagine what we're missing out on as a nation."
The Storycatchers Theatre's programs for detained and incarcerated youth in Chicago teaches young people involved with the juvenile justice system to write, produce and perform original musical theater inspired by their personal stories.
Other programs recognized with a National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award during a White House ceremony are:
_Art Reach, Provincetown, Mass.
_Boston Children's Chorus.
_Community-based youth education programs, Center for Exploratory and Perceptual Arts, Buffalo, N.Y.
_Investigating Where We Live, National Building Museum, Washington.
_ORCHKids, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.
_Pearl Bailey Library, Newport News, Va.
_Project AIM, Creative Kids, El Paso, Texas.
_Project Discovery, Dallas Theater Center.
_Sadie Nash Leadership Project, Brooklyn, N.Y.
_WriteGirl, Los Angeles.
The Kuruka Maisha Foundation, of Nairobi, Kenya, received the International Spotlight Award.
The awards are presented by the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities in partnership with three national cultural agencies. Each of the U.S. programs will receive $10,000.
Earlier this week, President Barack Obama named seven new committee members, including Stephanie Cutter, deputy manager of his re-election campaign, and actor Kal Penn, who previously worked for Obama's White House and is perhaps best known for his roles in the Harold and Kumar films and the television program "House."

5 Cheap Tricks TV Shows Use To Keep You Watching
#2. Characters Returning from the Dead
Major Offenders: Battlestar Galactica, X-Files, Star Trek: Voyager, Nip/Tuck, Six Feet Under.
Science fiction shows are especially bad about creating a world where no one is ever permanently dead. Cloning, alien abduction and interference by a higher life form are just a few of the ways that shows can bring a deceased character back to life. And then there's the human-looking Cylons on Battlestar Galactica, an entire species that can be shoved out an airlock on a daily basis only to come back once again with perfect hair and slinky dresses.
Why it Works:
Note that this technique often overlaps with the Cliffhanger Cop-Out. Six Feet Under ended Season Two with main character Nate boarding a bus to the afterlife, only to get a poorly-explained resurrection in the Season Three premier. In Nip/Tuck, Dr. Christian Troy is apparently slain by a serial killer in a season finale, gets a funeral the next season, only to have the funeral turn out to be a dream and the serial killer attack having left only a minor cut on his face (you had to be there).
Just as with the Cliffhanger Cop-Outs, this lets the writers have it both ways. They get their dramatic death scene one week, without having to deprive the show of a favorite (that is, ratings-boosting) character. Besides, did we really think Buffy would stay dead all of those times she got killed? Her name is the title of the show.
Why it Shouldn't:
You can see the problem on shows that abuse it, particularly sci-fi or fantasy shows where audiences have gotten used to the idea that anyone can come back (we imagine that very few people actually believed that Kara Thrace died when her ship exploded in a wormhole on Battlestar Galactica).
Viewers saw Jin get exploded on a boat in the finale of last season's Lost, but know that he could be back as a ghost, or through some kind of time travel. Or the healing powers of the island could fix him somehow--hell, it's Lost. There's like two dozen ways he can come back. At this point when somebody gets "killed" we just roll our eyes.
#1. Misleading Editing on the "Next Week On..." Teaser
Major Offenders: Almost every single drama or reality show on television.
These come up mostly on shows that hit a dramatic dry spell during the season, when it's up to the promotional "teaser" clips at the end of the episode to promise big things anyway. For instance, look at the last two seasons of The Sopranos.
Once upon a time when Tony Soprano said "We've got to deal with this guy" it meant "The guy" was soon going to be thrown into the ocean with a dozen new holes in his body. What we got in those last two seasons, however, were previews for next week showing Tony saying something like, "We have to deal with Paulie", along with a scene of some dude on a dark street getting shot in the head.
Then the new episode arrived and, no, nothing happens to Paulie. Tony's "dealing" with him winds up being a harsh word while they're eating at a buffet. The dude who got shot turns out to be some nobody we had never seen before.
This is happening more and more with other shows, as the guys in charge of editing the preview for the next week carefully construct an outright lie about what the episode will be about. They'll dub in dialog where it doesn't belong, they'll use misleading edits to make it appear a main character is in danger. Lost took it to a whole new, silly level when the announcer just started lying to our face ("Next week, the entire secret of the island will be revealed!")
Sometimes you'll even spot a scene or a line in the episode itself that seems to have been filmed specifically to include in the preview, as it winds up being totally pointless and out of place in the episode (look for lines of dialog like, "Guys, this could change everything" followed by absolutely nothing changing).
Why it Works:
They know that we tune in for months at a time waiting for some massive shake-up in the plot, either a major character dying or the answer to a lingering secret. But, that important stuff has to be handed out sparingly, you can't have that shit happening in every episode. So, they keep us tuned in by promising next week will be the episode you can't miss.
There seems to be two ways the producers make it up to us when the actual show fails to live up to the promise of the teaser. Either they replace the fake important scene they teased with a real important scene ("OK, so they didn't reveal the whole secret of the island but Locke got shot so that was pretty cool") or, more likely, they give us an episode of filler that ends with another teaser that promises the next episode will be the one we can't miss. Even though we totally could have missed the one we just saw.
Why it Shouldn't:
What could be worse than the kind of "it could only happen during sweeps" ratings stunt that we've all grown to hate? Falsely promising one and not following through. Every week.
Lost and The Sopranos both saw the law of diminishing returns on this, as audiences basically gave up the idea that anything earth-shattering was ever going to happen. By the time it did, most of us had stopped watching.

Top 20 Supply Chain Management Software Suppliers
Modern's Top 20 supply chain management software suppliers - It's the first time the market has declined since Modern began publishing our annual Top 20 list in 2001.
The market for supply chain management software applications, maintenance and services, or SCM, came in at $6.2 billion in 2009 including applications for procurement software and $4.2 billion without procurement.
That represented a decline of 1.9% from 2008, according to Chad Eschinger, an analyst with Gartner: (203-964-0096). While most businesses would have been proud to only show a 1.9% drop in revenues last year, it's a far cry from the growth this industry has been used to posting.
In fact, it's the first time the market has declined since Modern began publishing our annual Top 20 list in 2001. Just two years ago, AMR Research, now part of Gartner, was forecasting the total supply chain management market to reach or exceed $8 billion by 2010. That just isn't going to happen. "It was a very difficult year," says Eschinger.
Last year was a year for the status quo. The market leaders look much the same as they did in 2008, with SAP ($820 million) and Oracle ($715 million) at the top of the list, with numbers that were essentially unchanged from last year. They were followed by JDA Software ($385.6 million), RedPrairie ($261 million) and Manhattan Associates ($247 million).

Basically how do you find out which could be your worst or best case and any other "edge" cases you might have BEFORE having them and so, how do you prepare your code for them?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Based on the content of the algorithm you can identify what data structures/types/constructs are used. Then, you try to understand the (possible) weak points of those and try to come up with an execution plan that will make it run in those cases.
For example, the algorithm takes a string and an integer as input and does some sorting of the characters of the string.
Here we have:
String with some known special cases:
Integer with known special cases:
Sort algorithm that could fail in the following boundary cases:
Then, take all these cases and create a long list trying to understand how they overlap. Ex:
Now create test cases for them :)
Short summary: break the algorithm in basic blocks for which you know the boundary cases and then reassemble them, creating global boundary cases
I don't think there is any algorithm to determine edge conditions....just experience.
Example: for a byte parameter you would want to test numbers like 0, 127, 128, 255, 256, -1, anything that can cause trouble.
An "edge" has two meanings, and both are relevant when it comes to edge cases. An edge is either an area where a small change in the input leads to a large change in the output, or the end of a range.
So, to identify the edge cases of an algorithm, I first look at the input domain. Its edge values could lead to edge cases of the algorithm.
Secondly, I look at the output domain, and look back at the input values that might create them. This is less commonly a problem with algorithms, but it helps find problems in algorithms that are designed to generate output which spans a given output domain. E.g. a random-number generator should be able to generate all intended output values.
Finally, I check the algorithm to see if there are input cases which are similar, yet lead to dissimilar outputs. Finding these edge cases is the hardest, because it involves both domains and a pair of inputs.
This is a very general question so all I can do is throw out some general, vague ideas :)
-Examine boundary cases. Ex. if you're parsing a string what happens if the string is empty or null? If you're counting from x to y what happens at x and y?
Part of the skill of using algorithms is knowing their weaknesses and patholigical cases. Victor's answer gives some good tips, but in general I would advise that you need to study the topic in more depth to get a feel for this, I don't think you can follow rules of thumb to answer this question fully. E.g. see Cormen, or Skiena (Skiena in particular has a very good section on where to use algorithms and what works well in certain cases, Cormen goes in to more theory I think).

Sustainability in Action
Sustainability is not an ethos we've recently adopted; it's been our way of life for 40 years. Our livelihood and the livelihood of future generations depend on the ecological viability of our land. These earth-friendly practices lead not only to healthier vineyards, but to higher quality grapes and wine.
Our Oakville winery features 1,464 solar panels, enough to power all of our energy needs, most of the time. Since installation, we've reduced greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to what an average passenger car emits over 122 years. The panels have generated more energy than we use, resulting in 292,000 kilowatt hours sent back to the grid.
Vineyard Practices
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) – We use IPM to regulate insect populations. This keeps harmful pests in check by providing habitat that attracts beneficial insects, such as ladybugs, spiders, bees, butterflies and predatory mites. We've also built nesting boxes in our vineyards for bluebirds and owls, both of which help control unwanted insect and rodent populations.
Cover Crops – We plant cover crops between the vine rows. These help to build organic matter, suppress weeds, improve soil structure and reduce nutrient loss – all of which lead to healthier soils and grapevines.
Water Conservation – To conserve water, we utilize deficit irrigation systems with soil moisture sensors and plant stress monitors to determine the precise level of water application.
Fish Friendly Farming® Certification – This program certifies agricultural properties that restore fish and wildlife habitat and improve water quality. Our certified vineyards include Soda Canyon Ranch, Miraval, Calistoga and Geyserville Estate Vineyards.
Winery Practices
Green Building – Our winery in Oakville, completed in 2008, is designed for maximum energy efficiency. The fermentation room features "natural" air conditioning, with vents that suck out hot air and allow cool night air to funnel in. Expansive windows provide abundant natural light, and the barrel chai has 11" thick walls, keeping temperatures constant.
Green Business Certified – Our Napa Winery is certified under the Napa Green Winery Program by the Napa County Department of Environmental Management (DEM) and the Association of Bay Area Governments' (ABAG) Green Business Program. This winery has completed all the regulatory components needed for environmental sustainability, including developing water and energy conservation methods, preventing pollution and reducing solid waste. This program is set to become the standard for the state of California.
Certified Napa Green Land – To achieve this certification we had to create and implement a customized farm plan that can deliver measured results for all aspects of our property, vineyard land, and non-farmed land. This plan addresses soil conservation, water conservation, stable drainage, riparian corridor enhancement, fisheries and wildlife habitat enhancement, as well as long-term improvement and sustainability.
Other Certifications – We have also received certifications from the Napa County Agricultural Commissioner's Office of Pesticide Regulation, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the California Department of Fish and Game and the National Marine Fisheries Service.
Reuse – Our Oakville winery makes extensive use of reclaimed materials. The winery's limestone exterior came from an old flour mill in Kansas that was about to be torn down, and the tasting bar is crafted of salvaged timber from a Missouri barn.
Recycling – We recycle glass, cardboard, metal, paper and plastics at each of our wineries, and 90% of our shipping materials are recyclable.
Cork Recycling Program – We send corks from opened bottles to ReCORK, whose partners use the reclaimed cork in products such as shoes, playground equipment and flooring.

I am assuming the product owner role during our Scrums and we have just completed our Sprint 0. Now that we have developed a detailed backlog of user stories with acceptance criteria for each story, my question is "what is the best practice" for writing a 'general acceptance criteria' to be added to a contract. For example, site loading speed, search speed, architecture, etc. What do you think would be a 'must' add to any contract.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Zigster, as regards site loading speed and search speed, I would add non functional requirements at the user story level. They can be expressed in the form of acceptance criteria. For example if one user story is:
As a customer I want to run a search based on product name So that the products with matching name will be displayed
Among the acceptance criteria you could specify: The search results are displayed to the customer within 3 seconds
In other user stories where for example you might be doing a checkout you will be defining the max time you consider acceptable for the customer to perform such action.
I would not define such acceptance criteria at the site level but at the user story (value) level, this will encourage the development team to build performance tests early and at that specific level.
As per the architecture, what do you mean, do you want to impose a specific architecture?

class cClass { private: struct sNode { sNode* Next; }; sNode* First; public: cClass() { First = NULL; } ~cClass() { sNode* tmp; while( First != NULL ) { tmp = First; First = tmp->Next; // *** delete tmp; } } }; class cBiggerClass { private: cClass* myclass; public: cBiggerClass() { myclass = new cClass; } ~cBiggerClass() { delete myclass; }
In this small test run, cBiggerClass is instantiated once and almost immediately destroyed afterwards. When that happens, cClass also gets destroyed, without any nodes having been created in the list. The problem is right then I get an exception at the *** line for an invalid address pointer on First. Apparently in cClass's destructor, the loop is actually being entered and it tries to figure out where First->Next goes, when of course First hasn't been initialized.
Through some experimentation with break points, it seems like cClass's constructor does not get called. Thus First seems to point to a random place, causing it to enter the loop. The debugger says First->Next is undefined when the error occurs.
Anyone have any idea why?

One of the largest oil companies of United States, ExxonMobil is expanding its Houston campus which will be enough to accommodate 10,000 workers in 2014.
ExxonMobil in the press release announced that the size of the campus will be expanded and additional employees from the company locations in Fairfax, VA and Akron, OH will be shifted in 2014 once the campus will be completed.
ExxonMobil is one of the largest traders of Oil and Gas and also the largest marketer of petroleum products.
More opportunities for collaboration and innovation
Bryan Milton, president of ExxonMobil Global Services Company in the statement said that the additional employees and new campus will offer more opportunities for collaboration and innovation. He added that in expanded campus ExxonMobil will able meet the growing demands and global needs.
Bryan Milton said, "Including additional employees on the new campus will provide even more opportunities for collaboration and innovation, supporting ExxonMobil's mission of delivering energy to meet growing global needs."
The new campus in Houston
The new campus will become fully operational in 2014 and till 2015 it is expected to be occupied by the employees fully. The newly build campus will have multiple low-rise office buildings which will be fitted with laboratory, conference and training centers and facilities such as child care and wellness center.
The new campus will be situated in the company owned land near the intersection of I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road. The new campus is constructed with high standards of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship according to the company.
The construction of the campus was started in 2011 and work such as construction of access roads and bridges, central utilities, computer support and parking facilities has been done since then.
Effects of the new campus
Bryan Milton might have stated that the new campus will bring more opportunities but ExxonMobil is taking out about 2,100 jobs out of Fairfax region from where the company is relocating.
Fairfax offices of ExxonMobil's Refining and Supply Company, ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company, ExxonMobil Fuels, Lubricants & Specialties Marketing Company and the Akron-based employees of ExxonMobil Chemical Company will be relocated to Houston in 2014.

Also, better regulation will develop a lot more answerable hedge pay for professionals in upcoming plus the investors would be able to purely analysis the setting of your hedge fund manager previous to trusting their income in their palms. A different bad facet of the actual non-regulation of hedge funds will be that we now have zero recognized hedge deposit statistics. Nearly all hedge account holders are generally big corporations so because of this, minor is well know in relation to their monetary moves. Hedge finances are located in offshore jurisdictions, making them seem more shady. For example, in contrast to communal finances that contain any starting inside substantial locations like Nyc, hedge cash tend to be within areas such as Bermuda, Cayman Islands, plus the Virgin Destinations.

Hello! I have a NN3 and a T-Adapter for shooting panoramas. Now I will buy a D7000 and my question is this: I need a Camera Mounting Plate Special for D7000? What do you recommend?
Hello! I have a NN3 and a T-Adapter for shooting panoramas. Now I will buy a D7000 and my question is this: I need a Camera Mounting Plate Special for D7000? What do you recommend?
Hi Vedder,
And welcome to the forum. The D7000 will work with the normal CP-2 Plate. You have to take off the protecting plastic shield of the back monitor and replace it with one of those protecting glasses when they are available. Then you have to use the top plate of CP-2 with the long nose to the back of the camera body. At the moment I mounted the base plate with its short side to the lens, which serves for most fisheye lenses. Have a look: the white mark divides the base plate into 2/3 to 1/3, so one side is longer and one side is shorter. I placed the shorter side to the lens.
Thanks for your response Heinz! I looked at the page and the Camera Mounting Plate CP-2 is not the same as I have! Is another design! How do I send a picture?
Hi Vedder,
this is the normal CP-2 Plate : http://store.nodalninja.com/products...Plate-CP2.html
May be you have the old Cp, this is one peace without the anti rotation top plate. You can use it as well. To send a picture you have to use the Go Advanced Tab, and you can upload your picture by using "add file" and upload it.
Hi Heinz! I can use the Camera Mounting Plate CP2 with the old NN3? I ask because I want to buy it, I think it's better than the previous!
Hi Vedder,
yes you can. Think of buying 2 of them, in case you use lenses which have to go to the far ends of the upper rail. So you do not have to change the CP-2 top plate position to the base plate. Gives you 90° fixed position once fixed exactly.
I will work with the Nikon 10.5mm, which do you recommend? I have to buy two? Sorry but I do not understand!
When you only work with one lens, one plate is ok.
On D3 my 50mm asks 38 on NN5, so the 1/3 side of the base plate has to be set to the front. Other lenses ask 136, so the short side has to be set to the other end of the rail, so long side to the lens. But you are ok with one.
Thanks Heinz!

Team: Immaculata volleyball
Last year's record: 23-14
Coach: Dan Schmidt
Coach's record: 67-40; fourth year
Key returnees:
Mary Thorne
Maggie Campbell
Megan Abbott
Molly Abbott
Grace Parker
Katie Gillespie
Newcomers to watch:
Ellie Wolk
Lainey Bell
Kat Peterson
Sarah O'Neil
Maddie Schumaker
Mary Kate Wolken
Danielle Sachse
Team Outlook: STRENGTHS — The speed of the Lady Raiders' 2012 squad will be tough to match as the team has an abundance of agility and athleticism throughout its roster.
WEAKNESSES — Though the team's speed is a huge plus, Immaculata's height is not and the lack of size will need to be overcame for the team to be successful.
Coach says: "If we play aggressive and use our speed and quickness to cover the floor, I think we can make up for a lack of size. Our hitters have been pretty consistent in practice, so I hope we will be able to attack and keep constant pressure on our opponent."

The course was for both righty and lefty players and was easy to follow the fairway paths where really nice. Over all good course just a little short.

This is a better course from long tees

Worst possible mixture of impossible fairways through the woods and wide open fairways through un-mown grass. This was a one time event for me.
+0 votes Larry Hibbitts › May 20, 2012
This is my home course, as I live just up the street. That being said, I do not recommend playing this in the late summer early fall due to the height the rough - it literally is taller than some people, and VERY easy to lose a disc. In the spring and summer, you MUST check for ticks after playing here - they seem to love this park. The layout is very nice, with some challenging holes. Usually busy on the weekends.
+2 votes Matt Smith › April 30, 2012
The first five holes are wooded and fun. The rest are wide open in a tick infested field. Every open hole is surrounded by tall grass that loves to eat your discs. This course is no fun on a hot day.

I'm aware of Atlas Games' Nyambe, and I read the Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom sourcebook that White Wolf released for Vampire some years back. Which other books treat the area well, or at least as a good setting for adventures?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
There's a new supplement from Paizo for the Mwangi Expanse, the Africa of Golarion, called "Heart of the Jungle" in support of their new Mwangi-based Pathfinder adventure path, Serpent's Skull. I'm using it and Nyambe to do some African adventuring of my own.
Well, there's the Dark Continent: Adventure & Exploration in Darkest Africa rpg; however, I'm not sure that it's still in print. Chaosium used to sell copies of this game through their online store, but I'm not sure they still have any -- this may have become a collectible item. The tone of the game may not suit your purposes: it's firmly a pulp-era "big white hunter" colonial exploration/exploitation type of setting, with the focus on exploring the "dark continent". It is sub-Saharan in focus, though, and might have setting material you could use.
Notice, also, that RPGGeek has a geek-list that covers this question (although it doesn't ask for good treatments, just asks for games that have an African theme.
Nyambe for D&D3.X is pan-african, but ignoring the Copts and Greeks (Egyptians both...)
South of the Sun for Ars Magica is a setting book for Africa of legend; it's not realistic at all, and focuses on an odd mix of pagan egypt and Prester John's Christian Kingdom in the South.
Both are, as far as I know, out of print.
Aesheba: Greek Africa, is a good 80s supplement by Frank Mentzer and Bob Blake, dealing with a generic African-type continent that can be placed in any RPG world. There are many Egyptian and Greek type civilizations on this "lost" continent, new monsters, spells, etc and as a setting it can give plenty of good ideas. This might not be exactly what you are looking for because this is an Africa where Greek explorers have made their mark on the continent by colonizing several northern stretches; however african style "lost" cities and civilizations dot the inner continent (which is more of a fantasy style Africa since there is no Nile river here so races can easily spread throughout the continent). The material does focus more on the "explorers" point of view than any native peoples, but you might be able to salvage a few good ideas from the book and I notice it doesn't seem to ever sell for very much on the secondary market (making it cheap to pick up).
I run an "African Style" campaign and some of the best inspiration I have come across are in real-life histories of the region. Here are a few books I read and recommend for some insight into real-life African history, which can be used to set up your own jungle/african like setting:
The Scramble for Africa (Deals with the conquest and exploitation of the continent in the late 19th century through early 20th century);
Travels in the Interior of Africa by Mungo Park (the first white explorer to penetrate the interior and map the Niger river, very interesting);
Africa: A Biography of the Continent (perhaps a bit too real life and topical for some, still very informative)
Spears of the Dawn is a promising candidate. I've read the Beta Version that was released to Kickstarter backers (it's been fully funded and then some), and it appears to meet all my qualifications.
It's rather specific as well as set in the 1920s, but the CoC sourcebook Secrets of Kenya probably has some good hooks for adventures (I don't own a copy, so can't comment directly). You can see a preview of the content (first 14pp) here
There's a supplement for Ars Magica called South of the Sun that deals with Prester John and "...a medieval vision of Mythic Africa".
I always enjoyed Ars Magica - I have the three latest editions on my shelf. But I never picked up this particular book.
Edit - Whoops! Didn't see Aramis' post about this book above until after I had finished it!
Punaiset hiekat - Somalia roolipeleissä treats Somalia in a system-neutral manner, in Finnish. It discusses several different genres of play. More information (in Finnish) over here. In particular, there are example scenarios and discussion of Somalia as an adventure setting, as well as discussion of the culture.
Disclaimer: I have not read Punaiset hiekat, but do have another (older) setting book by the same author. It indicates a fair deal of research on the subject.
I think that Conan RPG is also providing a good low fantasy African themed RPG. As you can see the world map is quite looking like Africa:
Some supplements of this game should be more suited to what you are looking for, like this one:tales_of_the_black_kingdoms

The Legislature is long overdue in passing the updated bottle bill. The initial bill passed in 1983 and people have been calling for an update since 2000. This update would decrease litter and increase recycling by adding the 5-cent deposit to containers that aren't included in the current bill like water, sports drinks and juice.
As an intern with MASSPIRG, I talk with people every day who have been asking for a bottle bill update since Y2K. Public support is overwhelming throughout the entire state. Over 800 volunteers worked to qualify a ballot measure last fall, gathering signatures from every town and city in Massachusetts. And the updated bottle bill had more signatures certified than any other initiative petition.
It's time for the Legislature to finally listen to the public on this issue. There are lots of tough issues out there, but this one is easy. It's time to pass the updated bottle bill.

WACO (September 16, 2012)-- A local sheriff's deputy is throwing up a red flag regarding safety and security issues within the McLennan County Jail.
Weeks ago, News 10 revealed that inmates living in dormitory cells have access to microwaves. According to the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, it's all legal as long as a jailer is available to supervise inmates while they are using the microwaves.
But according to Ken Witt, a McLennan County Sheriff's Deputy who has worked in the jail for 14 years, supervising inmates who use the microwaves in the A and B wing of the jail is a difficult task.
"There are no cameras in that part of the jail, and it's impossible to just stand in front of 12 different tanks to watch them use the microwaves," Witt said.
"There's no way you can safely monitor them using the microwaves."
We asked the McLennan County Jail Supervisor, John Kolinek, if microwaves inside the jail could be used as weapons.
"I guess you could say that you could use them as a weapon," Kolinek said.
"But they can use their shoe, take it off, and hit someone or throw it."
Witt claims he's seen inmates use the microwaves in the past to hurt others in the jail.
"We had a problem where one inmate put oils and hygiene items in water, microwaved it, and threw it in the face of another inmate. It severely burned him, I mean, you can still see the scars on this inmate's face," Witt said.
But the microwaves aren't the only thing Witt has a problem with.
Some items on the jail's commissary list (items available for inmates to purchase inside the jail) have caught Witt's eye.
"There are some major safety problems we're selling with this commissary. For instance, we should be handing them a razor blade to let them shave, then turn around and take it back," Witt said.
"I mean they're allowed to buy disposable razors, you can pop the blade right out of that with no problem at all."
Witt went on to say that inmates constantly abuse their commissary privileges.
"We had one guy who went into another inmate's crate, started eating this inmate's food, and the inmate went and bit his ear off," Witt said.
In a previous interview, we asked Sheriff Larry Lynch if the McLennan County lockup was a hotel or a jail.
"We control their movements, we control their visits, and we control their activities everyday," Lynch said.
"They don't do what they want in jail...it's a jail."
After spending years on the inside, Witt disagrees.
"They get to watch the ball games, they gamble with their commissary, they pop popcorn, and they get to cook desserts," Witt said.
"Don't tell me it isn't a hotel. I mean we're going to wait on you, bring you what you want, and if we don't then we're going to get in trouble."
In the past three years, inmates going in and out of the McLennan County jail have spent a little over half a million dollars on commissary items.
Bell county's commissary list is only one page. It offers similar items, seems less excessive, and offers no razor blades.
"It feels like this administration's attitude about this is to give them what they want so they will be happy and won't sue us," Witt said.
Witt is the current President of the McLennan County Sheriff's Officer Association.
On September 13, he formally filed a complaint with the Texas Commission on Jail Standards regarding the safety and security of microwaves being used in the A and B wing of the jail. He also questioned the safety of certain commissary items.
"It's time someone finally knows about what goes on in the McLennan County Jail," Witt said.
"There needs to be a change, and we can't wait for someone in another administration to come along to do it. It needs to be done now."
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards will review Witt's complaint and will decide whether or not to investigate.
A transcript of Witt's complaints, along with TCJS rules, is attached to this article.

WHEELING - After four and a half hours - over two of which were due to lightning delay - the Wheeling Central Maroon Knights were able to grind out a hard-earned 28-22 win over the Weirton Madonna Blue Dons Saturday at Wheeling Island Stadium on the back of junior C.J. Burch.
"There's no doubt the rain hurt us," said Madonna head coach Doug Taylor. "We had momentum and we were pumped up. It's how you finish the game though.
"They had the same rain delay we did, and they came out and beat us up for about two quarters. The kids fought hard, drove down with under a minute left, and that shows the amount of heart and pride we have."
Article Photos
Burch, who lined up at quarterback, tailback, and wing for the Maroon Knights , carried the ball 36 times and racked up 267 yards on the ground to go with three touchdowns to will his team to victory.
"I knew how good he was," said Taylor. "We watched him last week, and he's a great athlete. He's got good feet and he's pretty fast. I knew he was going to be a presence to be dealt with, and he didn't surprise us."
Not that Blue Dons' signal caller Ross Comis didn't match his intensity. Comis completed nine passes for 145 yards and a score while also running for 141 stripes and a touchdown to lead his team within a fourth quarter onside kick of pulling off the road win.

PENALTIES: Madonna 7-36; Wheeling Central 8-50.
FUMBLES-LOST: Madonna 1-1; Wheeling Central 0-0.
"Our kids played well, I thought we threw the ball well, and I thought we ran the ball pretty well too," said Taylor.
With the game tied at 14, Wheeling Central began the game's most important stretch with with 10:17 left in the fourth quarter. Taking the ball at their own 33, the Maroon Knights marched 67 yards on 7 plays to take a 21-14 lead. All 7 plays were runs, with 6 being by Burch. In the end Burch ran in form three yards out and Bradley Cottrell knocked home the extra point.
On Madonna's next possession, Wheeling Central's Braxton Nolte got to Comis for a sack and forced a fumble. Nolte's teammate Coty Knecht pounced on it and the Maroon Knights were in business at the Blue Dons' 33-yard line.
"We have our blocking schemes set up for certain things, and they beat us on the inside blitz a couple times," said Taylor. "They were able to get pressure before we were able to get the edge. Give credit to Wheeling Central, that was a good game plan for them."
Five plays later Burch plunged in from inside the 1 and Cottrell put the P.A.T. through for the 28-14 Wheeling Central advantage with 3:04 left.
Madonna didn't not go away softly though. WIth about two minutes left Comis broke loose for a 68-yard scamper that put his team at the 3-yard line. Comis left on the play with cramping, but backup quarterback Garrett Hypes, who also had three catches for 86 yards receiving, plunged in two plays later from a yard out. Comis came back in as the holder on the extra point and hit Nate Guio for a 2-point conversion on the fake to make the score 28-22 with 58 seconds left.
"I've talked about it before," said Taylor. "We really have a luxury back there. We probably have three of the best quarterbacks together on one team.
"You're looking at Comis, Hypes, and (Anthony) Antinone does a good job of running that option and the short passing game for us. I feel confident in any one of those guys. If someone goes down we just throw another in and I feel confident in them."
The Blue Dons' comeback hopes were dashed when Wheeling Central's Michael Pleva recovered the ensuing onside kick to preserve the victory.
Madonna took a 7-0 lead with 3:24 in the first quarter on a Comis 36-yard scoring toss to Hypes. Matthew Green punched in the point after.
The lightning delay then interrupted play.
Out of the delay the maroon Knights marched 70 yards on 13 plays with Burch going in from the 1-yard line. Cottrell's extra point tied the game at 7-all.
Madonna answered right back with a 6-play, 65 yard scoring drive. The big play on the drive was a 39-yard Comis to Hypes hook up. Comis pushed in from about an inch out and Green kicked the Point after the the 14-7 Madonna lead.in the second quarter.
Wheeling Central came right back, traveling 80 stripes on 9 plays. A Burch 41-yard run was the big play and Nolte went in untouched from 6 yards for the score. Cottrell's extra point tied the score at 14 and set up the second half fireworks.
Madonna dropped to 1-1 and hosts Fort Frye Saturday.

I wish I knew about the walk up the hill
Every student at this school needs boots for winter
Another awesome thing is the campus

I ran across a fun looking series and am wondering how to tackle it.
One idea I had was to use the digamma and the fact that
Along with the identity $\psi(n+1)=\psi(n)+\frac{1}{n}$, I managed to get it into the form
This would mean that $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\psi(n)}{n^{3}}=\frac{{\pi}^{4}}{360}-\gamma\zeta(3).$$ Which, according to Maple, it does. But, how to show it?. If possible.
I also started with $\frac{-\ln(1-x)}{x(1-x)}=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}H_{n}x^{n-1}$.
Then divided by x and differentiated several times. This lead to some interesting, but albeit, tough integrals involving the dilog:
Doing this again and again lead to some integrals that appeared to be going in the right direction.
But, what would be a good approach for this one? I would like to find out how to evaluate
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\psi(n)}{n^{3}}=\frac{{\pi}^{4}}{360}-\gamma\zeta(3)$$ if possible, but any methods would be appreciated and nice.
Thanks a bunch.
