I am using the "lock when sleeping" preference of the login keychain. When I use my computer after wake up, as expected i have to enter my password when an application (such as the webbrowser or instant messenger) try to access a keychain entry. However, sometimes the login keychain is unlocked after entering the password, sometimes it remains locked and the application gets single-time access. What rule does that follow? System is up to date 10.6.
There is a setting that can lock the Keychain after a period of inactivity. So if you have unlocked it after sleep and then find after a few minutes that it is locked, it probably means that this option is turned on.
It's also possible that on some items you haven't checked 'always remember' and so it is popping up the request for credentials via keychain.
You can also repair your keychain using this guide.

Today my lecturer mentioned the reason why the aircraft system is programmed in assembly language is due to the program being written have less error . Is this statement true ? Because when he asked about our opinion I said assembly can create faster program thus it is a good language for real-time oriented aircraft system program . I search around google but can't seem to find an article clarifying my lecturer's statement .
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Your lecturer's statement is provably false. The Joint Strike Fighter's control code is written in C++. The 777 from Boeing uses 99%+ ADA. The JPL uses mostly C to drive spaceships.
I'm sure there are more examples but I suspect many are proprietary or classified.
Here is a paper that goes into some detail on the subject of testing avionics software on a more general level.
I work on OBOGS, which is a component that gets plugged into various aircraft. We typically use C for the devices that fly, but looking through the historical files, there are a couple of assembly projects in there.
It's fashion, honestly. Languages rise and fall. The reasons people use one or the other vary all over the place and are mostly subjective. I find it completely plausible that someone at some point argued that assembly was the right choice for some project somewhere entirely because it would have less errors than in any other language. And he was probably right, but that's because the guy didn't know how to code in C worth a damn. By and far the best language for the job is the one you know. (And the best language for your personal growth is one you don't.)
You can objectively say that assembly is closer to the hardware, less abstracted, more direct, with more instructions to the same thing in other languages. You can even say that it's in the realm of possibility that assembly can be written to cut out overhead and be smoking fast. If you know what you're doing. But as for error-prone-ness, speed of development, readability, and the ability to cure cancer? All that depends on the ability of the programmer and what they've worked in for the last 20 years. Measurements of which projects with which language have X amount of bugs are subject to sociological factors, largely making them worthless metrics. No, it's all just so much fashion.
It's good to know what your code boils down to, so I'm going to say that it's important to learn assembly. If only a little. But I wouldn't write any avionics in it.

Put the book back on the table.
I'm having trouble. I think it is a preposition.
I'm having trouble. I think it is a preposition.
First, and most important, asking what part of speech a particular word is tells you nothing about it, or about grammar, or about English. Nothing. Even if you get an answer. It's the wrong question.
Second, put back is a Phrasal Verb, and the back part is generally called a "particle". (See what I mean about telling you nothing?) The put part is called the "verb", which is also not terribly useful.
Phrasal verbs consist of a "verb" plus a "particle", which usually has the same form as a preposition, but doesn't have an object. Some linguists call it an "intransitive preposition", which means a preposition without an object. But the verb + particle unit acts together like a verb.
There are far more phrasal verbs than non-phrasal verbs in English, because every verb has several particles that it can occur with in a phrasal verb, with mostly unpredictable meanings.
It serves the function of controlling/modifying the verb put, so it is an adverb.
A preposition is a part of speech used to connect a noun or pronoun. Back is obviously not used in this way here. The only preposition here is on, as it connects the noun phrase the table.
I knew the answer but I had to confirm with my MAC AIR built-in Dictionary. Allow me to simplify.
The word back has 4 uses in speech;
Consider re-phasing your sentence so the meaning is the same, when in doubt.
You get a point, if you can choose the correct answer easier this way.
The analysis of structures consisting of what I'll start by calling a verb + an adverby- or prepositiony- word, is difficult.
Sometimes (perhaps most often), as John Lawler indicates, it is best to consider the whole structure - even if there may be / must be intervening words - as a unit. This then constitutes a multi-word verb (MWV). Often, there is a single-word paraphrase,
eg the plane touched down = the plane landed
though there doesn't need to be:
Big Al knocked Elliot out (unless one allows KO'd). Notice that the verbs touched and knocked would not carry the same meaning (in fact touch cannot be strictly intransitive).
However, this is not always the case.
Although 'put the book back on the table' has a single-word verb equivalent ('replace the book on the table'), the very similar 'pass the book back to Tom' and 'kick the ball back under the table' have not. It seems illogical to argue that 'put back' is much more firmly bound than 'pass back' and 'kick back' are here. In the latter examples, the back arguably modifies (further describes) the process described by the bare verb. One could also argue that it describes the resulting state (which is an adjectival function!)
In 'Back on the table, the book was soon spotted by the boy who had left it,' the issue is further complicated.

From Noisebridge
This will be where stuff about chemistry goes. Feel free to edit as you like; I'm starting with lists of reagents and glassware that I will be bringing, and will add photos later today.
All items are 24/40 standard taper unless otherwise specified. Some items are not glassware, but are used in reaction setups.
Prices are from Sigma-Aldrich's catalogue. In reality these can be had much more cheaply on ebay.
- Liebig condenser, 200mm ($55.10)
- Allihn condenser, 200mm ($172.40)
- 3-neck 500mL round-bottom flask ($94.20)
- 500mL round-bottom flask ($30.70)
- 250mL round-bottom flask ($27.00)
- 100mL round-bottom flask ($23.50)
- 50mL round-bottom flask ($22.90)
- 2x50mL round-bottom flask with distiller arm (not standard taper)
- Addition funnel, 125mL ($113.40)
- Separating funnel, 100mL (not standard taper; use a 1-hole stopper for an adapter) (~$20 from American Science and Surplus)
- Stillhead adapter ($68.10)
- Vacuum adapter ($47.10)
- Claisen adapter ($56.70)
- 0-360 degree thermometer
- 500mL beaker
- 250mL beaker
- 2x200mL beakers
- 40mL beaker
- 500mL one-arm Erlenmeyer flask (not standard taper)
- Buchner funnel
- 100mL graduated cylinder
- 10mL graduated cylinder
- 10mL burette
- Evaporating dish
- Aquarium pump with hoses (attaches to condenser for cooling it down) (~$25 at any aquarium store)
- Test tubes, various sizes, lots of them
- 1 gallon methanol
- 1 gallon phosphoric acid
- 1 gallon hydrochloric acid, 12M
- ~1lb potassium hydroxide
- Calcium chloride, anhydrous (drying agent)
- Magnesium sulfate, anhydrous (drying agent)
Things that are broken but could be fixed
- A 500mL round-bottom longneck distillation flask with the distiller arm broken off. If someone has an acetylene torch, this could be repaired by fusing a glass tube onto it, or the hole could be sealed up and the flask used for a reflux reaction flask.
- A Liebig condenser, not standard taper, with part of the stillhead end in several pieces. Again, fixable with a hot enough torch.
- A vacuum aspirator with a bunch of pipe-fitting adapters. It works, but currently the adapters are on there really tight and I can't get them off. If someone has a plumber's wrench and a bench vise, this is easy to fix.
Workshops we could do
- Distillation and drying. 99% ethanol is really expensive, but we can make it cheaply with everclear (or cheap vodka) and a little bit of work.
- Liquid-liquid extraction and organic separation -- polar vs. non-polar solvents, how to use them
- Column chromatography
- Steam extraction from organic materials -- make your own essential oils and hydrosols
- Acid/base extraction
- Build a rotary evaporator
- How to set up a reaction under reflux conditions
- Fractional distillation

Answered: Modify contents in a List - How do we refresh a list after modifying the store?
I am using a Sencha List as shown below:
Ext.regModel ('List1', {idProperty: 'id',
fields: [ { name: 'id', type: 'int' }, { name: 'title', type: 'string' }, ], });
Ext.regStore('List1Store', { model:'List1', });
MyApp.views.List1List = new Ext.List ({
id: 'idList1', store: 'List1Store',
itemTpl: '
 <input type = "checkbox" id = "{id}" > {title} {narrative}
',
I am adding this list to a Panel and displaying it. My requirement is to add, delete and update items in this list. Adding and deleting (by List.getStore.add(), and List.getStore.remove() ) is working without any issues. But, we are not successful yet on updatign an existing content in the list. What is the best way to do this?
How do I retrieve items from store, update a record in the store, and refresh the list with the updated item?
we tried repaint() and load(), but it didnt work :-(
please help....

Does List have a getView() function. I think, NOT.
25 Aug 2011 1:00 AM #4
you posted in Ext 4 Q&A Forum.
In Ext 4 grid == list (look at the docs. there is no Ext.List class).
so either you posted in the wrong forum or you did not provide enough information.
(further in this forum you get help from people who does this voluntarily so please dont be impolite. thanks.)

By the way, i tried List.refresh(), and is found to be working...thanks...

Passing params to Store in a View
I have a view that contains a list of orders, in my controller i have a reference to this view and an listener on the 'itemtap' event. When you tap a order a different view needs to be shown which should call upon a different store that will load all the information of that order by passing an orderid as a parameter to that store.
As of now i was unable to find a clear example to use the params config for a store when this store is set in a View. I found a workaround for this but i'm not too happy with it. There has to be a easier way to do this;
Within the itemtap listener:
var OrderStore = Ext.getStore('OrderStore'); OrderStore.load({ params: { id: record.get('orderid') }, callback: function(records, operation, success) { var OrderContainer = Ext.create('wp-touch.view.OrderView'); OrderContainer.add({ xtype: 'panel', id: records[0].get('id'), html: '
Order informatie: ' + records[0].get('orderid') }); OrderContainer.add({ xtype: 'segmentedbutton', items: [ { text: 'Operations', pressed: true }, { text: 'Materials' } ], listeners: { toggle: function(container, button, pressed){ console.log("User toggled the '" + button.getText() + "' button: " + (pressed ? 'on' : 'off')); } } }); OrderContainer.add({ xtype:'list', flex: 1, id: record.get('id'), itemTpl: '{title}', data: [{ title: 'item 1' }, { title: 'item 2' }, { title: 'item 3' }] }); Ext.Viewport.setActiveItem(OrderContainer, { type: 'slide' }); }, scope: this });
Is it possible to just enable the OrderView on itemtap and pass the orderid as a parameter to the store that is in the config of this view?
7 Jan 2014 4:23 AM #2
Ok i've managed to create the view including the components but for now i haven't found a way to make sure the loaded data in the store is set into the view. When i set the config in the view; store: OrderStore and have autoLoad enabled in OrderStore i can't seem to get the listener beforeload to work so i can set the extraParams in the proxy.What i have now; OrderView.js
Ext.define('wp-touch.view.OrderView', { extend: 'Ext.Container', xtype: 'orderview', requires: [ 'Ext.form.FieldSet', 'Ext.List', 'Ext.SegmentedButton' ], config: { defaults: { styleHtmlContent: true }, store: 'OrderStore', fullscreen: true, layout: 'vbox', items: [ { xtype: 'panel', itemTpl: Ext.create( 'Ext.XTemplate', '
Order informatie: {name}, {orderid}' ) }, { xtype: 'segmentedbutton', centered: true, items: [ { text: 'Operations', pressed: true }, { text: 'Materials' } ], listeners: { toggle: function(container, button, pressed){ console.log("User toggled the '" + button.getText() + "' button: " + (pressed ? 'on' : 'off')); } } }, { xtype: 'list', flex: 1, itemTpl: '{title}', data: [ { title: 'Item 1' }, { title: 'Item 2' }, { title: 'Item 3' }, { title: 'Item 4' } ] } ] } });
var OrderStore = Ext.getStore('OrderStore'); OrderStore.getProxy().setExtraParams({id: record.get('orderid')}); OrderStore.load(); OrderStore.addListener({ beforeload: function(store, records, options) { //This doesn't seem to work, the console.log output is not showing up. console.log('before'); } load: function(store, records, options) { console.log(store); } }); Ext.Viewport.setActiveItem('orderview');
8 Jan 2014 2:58 AM #3
Another update: i still haven't found a way around setting the whole params thing. I guess this is the only way to do it and then within the callback method you have to add all the information to the view.Within the itemtap event:
var OrderStore = Ext.getStore('OrderStore'); OrderStore.load({ params: { id: record.get('orderid')}, callback: function(records, operations, success){ Ext.Viewport.setActiveItem('orderview'); var orderView = Ext.Viewport.getActiveItem(); var informationPanel = orderView.query('panel')[0]; informationPanel.setHtml('
Order informatie: '+records[0].get('name')+', '+records[0].get('orderid')+'
'); var list = orderView.query('list')[0]; list.setData(records[0].operationStore.data.all); } });
This is now how the List component looks within OrderView.js:
{ xtype: 'list', flex: 3, store: 'OrderStore', id: 'listItemsOrder', itemTpl: Ext.create( 'Ext.XTemplate', '{name}', '{[console.log([values])]}', '{operationid} Regel: {linenr}', '
{description}
' ), listeners:{ updatedata: function( newData, eOpts ){ console.log(newData); }, itemtap: function (index, target, record) { console.log(record); } }, }
13 Jan 2014 4:16 PM #4
I've created a fiddle for you to show you a proper implementation of dataviews/lists and how they interact with a store automatically. In the example I use the data/setData methods to provide data, but the store load method will work the same way (as you have in your example). You should not need to use listeners unless you need to do something specific outside the ordinary interaction of the list and the store.
You may examine the example by visiting https://fiddle.sencha.com/#fiddle/2kr
14 Jan 2014 12:55 AM #5
I have another question, little unrelated to this topic but it's still about the Store component and more specifically; about the Grouper config.
It seems that the groupFn method within the Grouper config of my Store is being called more times that it should. It should group my order if one of the operations within the order has started and then group the orders by 'In progress' and 'To do'. This works and it groups the orders accordingly but when i put a console.log within the groupFn method it seems it fires more times then it should and even when i drag the list it always seems to execute the groupFn method. The code:
config: { model: 'wp-touch.model.Order', storeId: 'OrderListStore', autoLoad: true, sortProperty: 'name', grouper: { groupFn: function(record) { console.log(record); var boolHasStarted = false; var operationList = record.operationStore; operationList.each(function(operation){ if(operation.get('started')){ boolHasStarted = true; } }); if(boolHasStarted){ return 'Orders in progress'; }else{ return 'Orders to do'; } } } } }
There wasn't really a problem at first but for some reason when i click on one of the orders it should load in the view OrderView which contains all the information about the order. But when it got there, the groupFn method was still firing but fired a error because .operationStore was undefined. It turns out that the current record was a operation from that order. It don't understand how it got there or why it would try and group that since it wasn't in the same view. I haven't encountered this problem again but i fear it may come back and then i would like to understand why it came back.

9 Creative Ways to Cook a Thanksgiving Turkey
3 of 10
Brining the Turkey
Brining is another pre-cooking treatment traditional in preparing a Thanksgiving turkey. Placing the entire bird in a salt and water solution known as brine produces a moist and well-seasoned turkey. After brining the turkey for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator, the bird can be placed in the oven. This technique often produces a moist bird that's hard to overcook.

Understanding Alcohol Consumption
The term alcohol consumption encompasses two ideas important in characterizing an individual's drinking behavior: frequency (how often a person drinks) and quantity (how much a person drinks). Frequency of consumption refers to the number of days or, sometimes, occasions that an individual has consumed alcoholic beverages during a specified interval (e.g., week, month, and year). Quantity of consumption refers to the amount ingested on a given drinking occasion.
Most typically, consumption is assessed using "standard drinks"—in the United States, these are 5 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer, or 1.25 ounces of distilled spirits. Because individuals do not drink the same amount at every drinking occasion, some surveys attempt to assess the frequency with which a person drinks various amounts of alcohol (e.g., one to two drinks, three to four drinks, five to six drinks) over a specified period of time. Although cumbersome, this approach probably provides a fairly accurate assessment of total volume consumed and of variability in drinking pattern.
For many purposes, however, identifying "light" or "moderate" consumption is not the issue, "heavy" consumption is. For that reason, it is common to assess heavy consumption on the basis of the frequency of consuming a number of drinks meeting or exceeding a certain threshold. When describing college drinking, heavy drinking occasions are often referred to as "binges." Based on the influential work of Henry Wechsler and colleagues—who define binge as five or more drinks in a row for men and four or more drinks for women—the prevalence of binge drinking has become a key measure in estimating the extent of alcohol problems on college campuses.
Historically, binge drinking has referred to an extended period of heavy drinking (for example, a "bender" that lasts 3 days or more) that is seen in some alcoholic patients. Some clinicians believe that using the term binge to refer to a less severe phenomenon blurs this important distinction. However, Dr. Wechsler has observed that the term binge is now commonly associated with eating and shopping and that its application to alcohol use is consistent with the term's generally accepted meaning.
Other researchers have voiced concern because the specific time period over which the five or four drinks are consumed is not specified nor is the body mass of an individual drinker. For example, after 5 drinks consumed over a fixed time span, a man of 240 pounds would have a lower blood alcohol level than a man of 140 pounds. Nor would a male or female of the same body weight achieve the same blood alcohol level following equal consumption because of gender-related differences in physiology. Dr. Wechsler believes that the phrase "in a row" implies a relatively short time frame. He also shows that individuals who consume alcohol at these levels increase their likelihood of experiencing a range of negative consequences.
Whether terms such as heavy drinking, binge drinking, or drinking to intoxication are used to describe students' behavior, it is clear that consumption of large quantities of alcohol on a single drinking occasion is important in assessing alcohol involvement. Also key in evaluating alcohol consumption are the consequences of that consumption which can include academic, personal, social, legal, and medical problems as well as dependent symptoms such as tolerance, withdrawal, and loss of control.

Oh, let's go ahead and get this out of the way: Michael Ealy's eyes. They're … mesmerizing.
He jokes that if he had a dollar for every time someone has made mention of them, he'd be, well, you know the rest. But once you get past his praise-worthy peepers, you discover that Ealy is a brilliant actor who brings his impressive background in live theater to feature films and television. Next month, a feel-good indie film he shot two years ago – Unconditional – finally hits theaters; and really good news came earlier this month: he inked his first leading man role ever. The 39-year-old will star in a remake of 1986 film About Last Night (the original starred Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, James Belushi and Elizabeth Perkins; the remake will star Ealy, Joy Bryant, Kevin Hart and Regina King). EBONY.com chats with Ealy about his films, his female fanbase and why he's not interested in being the next Denzel Washington.
EBONY: Your picker's pretty good. What's your process like?
Michael Ealy: Me and my manager, we'll debate nonstop about certain roles. I think you just have to have someone in your camp who you can bounce those kind of ideas off of, because I think if I had picked every movie that I wanted to do, I don't know if you would say the same thing. So I can't take all the credit. But at the same time, there's times when you have to trust your instincts and just say no to a project, despite the fact that it's looking good and it's going to actually go and it's going to actually shoot and you're going to get a check. You still have to say no, because it's not going to land the way you want it to land, it's not going to push your career even further, it's not going to add to your body of work.
EBONY: How difficult is it for you to say no?
ME: It's easier now because you've learned to trust your instincts. You'd start to feel your integrity being compromised or something just felt like you were compromising just a tad bit, and that's your gut telling you, 'yea or nay,' man. You have to either roll with it or not. Listen, you have to take some risks. For Colored Girls was definitely a risk. I'm aware that I have a strong female following and that was risky, and I, to this day, love my female following because they stood by me through that. They understood that that wasn't the Ike in me. You know what I mean? I was sick … the character was sick, and they thought it was good. I'm not afraid to go dark again because I know my audience will understand that. So that's how you learn to trust your instinct.
EBONY: If they haven't forgiven you yet, I think they will for this role in Unconditional, because it's so compelling and heartwarming and there are so many layers to it …
ME: It's funny you say that, because this came after For Colored Girls and I think there was an element of, 'OK, we need to atone for what happened.' Like, in one movie you're throwing kids out of the window because you're sick, and in the next movie you're trying to save children, because they don't have fathers. So that to me was a great journey to go through as an actor. And they were only four months apart. I jumped into being Papa Joe, and it's like, 'Ah, perfect. Thank you God!'
EBONY: So doing this film was therapy for For Colored Girls?
ME: It was helpful. It just resonated in my spirit, in my soul.
EBONY: You've been acting for a while now, and you're just now about to get your first leading man role at 39 for the About Last Night remake. What does that say to you?
ME: Sign of the times. You know, the way that it worked for Denzel won't work now. It just won't. It won't work for anybody that way. The business is different. And if you look at it like, 'OK, if I pattern my career in the way in which Denzel did his,' you're sculpting your career based on an antiquated system that doesn't exist anymore. You know, it's not the same. It's rare to find an actor now who doesn't have some sort of social media site. But, you know, he didn't have to worry about that stuff. It's a different time. I read an interview with Idris not too long ago where he said he doesn't even consider himself a leading man, he considers himself a character actor who plays leading man roles from time to time. And I get what he's saying, because as an artist, oftentimes the leading man roles aren't that interesting! As an

From what I understand:
4 or 四 means death
8 is similar to 发 as in 发财
9 is somehow related to the emporer or is the emporer's number
Can someone please provide the meanings (if they exist) for each of the different numbers 0 - 10?
From what I understand:
Can someone please provide the meanings (if they exist) for each of the different numbers 0 - 10?
There is a Wikipedia article dedicated to this, Numbers in Chinese culture; it states that numbers are divided in two categories, lucky and unlucky numbers.
Lucky Numbers:
Unlucky Numbers:
Some numbers that were considered as lucky, can be considered unlucky too:
I tried to summarize most of the content here, but check the page for more info and other meanings of complex numbers.
This is just a selection based on things I've heard - I'm not sure if these are the concrete meanings, or just what I've heard from friends, but here goes:
Hope that helps - it's really interesting to know the meaning behind these sort of things.
To add to the other answers (the followings are based on phonetic similarities):
2 - 爱 (ai), love
5 - 我 (wo), I
1 - 你 (ni), you
521 - 我爱你, I love you
1314 - 一生一世, this lifetime and beyond
5211314 - 我爱你一生一世, I love you for this lifetime and beyond
(I've also heard that 4 means 发财 because the 4th note in music - do re mi fa - is fa)
To add to Ciaocibai's list:
0- ling = 你 usually
1- is also used for sounds like yi and ni
I have seen it used in cases like 521 (我爱你) 520 works as well
6- = 了
7- = sounds like qi or qu
17 = 一起 or 你去 depending on context
On a side note:
14 often sounds like 要死 and is a bad number (many buildings will omit the 14th floor for example and have 13A and 13B or directly jump from 13 to 15)
but 14 is also used to sound like 你是 like in 1487 你是白痴 :p
It's impossible to list all the meanings in one answer so I will link you to baidu:
To add onto the @laguna's and @thisiseast's answers there are a lot of different ways in sms/cyber chats that you would use numbers in place of what would Examples:
56 五六 / 无聊 Bored
5201314 五二零一三一四 / 我爱你一生一世 I love you for a lifetime
8384 八三八四 / 不三不四 Dubious
282 二八二 / 饿不饿 Are you hungrey
530 五三零 / 我想你 I miss you
168 一六八 / 加油吧 Come on (Cheer)
246 二四六 / 饿死了 Staving to death
740 七四零 / 气死你 mad at you
70 七零 / 亲你 Kiss you
As other have said pretty much, I just want to give the commonly accepted lucky and unlucky numbers in mainland China. (Maybe only in northern China, or Beijing area ..., I don't know. Haven't traveled that much.)
The lucky numbers are 6 and 8.
Meaning of 6 (may) come from "六六大顺(liù liù dà shùn)", which means everything would go smoothly/as expected.
8 has a similar pronunciation as "发(fā)", which has a meaning of making money, becoming rich.
The unlucky number is 4.
4 has a similar pronunciation as "死(sǐ)", which means die/death.
I don't have any special feeling about any other numbers, though they may have some other meanings as mentioned by others.
just to tell you something relevant real quick.
2, this is normally considered a way of calling others stupid, silly, foolish, particularly among youngsters.
4, means death, to do with superstitions.
6, means everything is peachy, nothing is currently bad or going to be bad.
8, means to be wealthy.
9, the only thing related to this number I can come up with is somewhat religious.
38, a bad way to call women, similar to the word "bitch" in English. By the way, March eighth is women's day in China.
88, cyber language, it means bye bye.
250, you can consider this the full form of 2.
290, equals 250 + 38 + 2, you figure it out yourself.
520, means I love you(我爱你). 5 sounds similar to 我, 2 sounds similar to 爱, though I have no idea why 0 stands for 你(you) here.
1314, sounds similar to 一生一世, which means the whole of someone's life.
In Chinese tradition, certain numbers are believed by some to be auspicious (吉利) or inauspicious (不利) based on the Chinese word that the number name sounds similar to. The numbers 0, 6, 8, and 9 are believed to have auspicious meanings because their names sound similar to words that have positive meanings. The superstitious aspects of this primarily grow out of the Cantonese Culture, but has taken root through other dialects and regional groups of Chinese.

Francis Speaks Boldly (Update)
At today's Angelus:
Dear brothers and sisters,
The news reports coming from Iraq leave us in dismay and disbelief: thousands of people, including many Christians, driven from their homes in a brutal manner; children dying of thirst and hunger in their flight; women taken and carried off; violence every kind; destruction of historical, cultural and religious patrimonies. All this gravely offends God and humanity. Hatred is not to be carried in the name of God! War is not to be waged in the name of God!
I thank those who, with courage, are bringing succour to these brothers and sisters, and I am confident that an effective political solution on both the international and the local levels may be found to stop these crimes and re-establish the [rule of] law. In order better to ensure those dear suffering populations of my closeness to them, I have named [Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples] Cardinal Fernando Filoni as my Personal Envoy in Iraq, who shall depart from Rome tomorrow [Monday].
The Vatican released today (August 13th) a letter that Pope Francis sent to the Secretary General of the United Nations. It says in part:
I write to you, Mr Secretary-General, and place before you the tears, the suffering and the heartfelt cries of despair of Christians and other religious minorities of the beloved land of Iraq. In renewing my urgent appeal to the international community to take action to end the humanitarian tragedy now underway, I encourage all the competent organs of the United Nations, in particular those responsible for security, peace, humanitarian law and assistance to refugees, to continue their efforts in accordance with the Preamble and relevant Articles of the United Nations Charter.

At Mass here today the exodus of Christians from Iraq was mentioned three times: during the prayer of the faithful; during the Eucharistis prayer when, after praying for "our good pastor Francis", the presider improvised a prayer for the people on the road and also for their persecutors, "because we must not curse them; bless them, Lord, and make them think about what they're doing"; and later again towards the end of the EP, for ourselves, for refugees and the people who are persecuted because of Christ.
Pope Francis's reflection on today's Gospel reading (Matthew 14:22-33)
"All this gravely offends God and humanity."
I guess that covers everyone and renders any god who would command it false and any people who would carry it out non-human.
But then we'd just be back at square one. Or maybe we've just been fools for thinking that there must be more to it than that.
Sorry to sound cynical, but as an interested and informed observer of sad, heartbreaking events abroad and at home, I'm not seeing much benefit from people concerning themselves with holy lands, holy books, and holy men. The pope says God's offended but clearly the Wahabis(?) don't think so. I think the only way to effectively disown and disassociate any faith tradition from absurdity and monstrosity is a fearlessly honest overhaul that doesn't worry about giving offense to God. But is that "religion"? I don't know.
We live by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Not by any preacher who is a false prophet. It is never any offense to God to criticize any pope, bishop, Iman, etc.who gives false witness.
Sen. John McCain, as usual, was on the talk shows Sunday expressing exasperation with President Obama. His current complaint: That if Obama had armed friendly Syrian rebels when he had a chance, and when Sen. McCain was telling him to, we wouldn't have ISIS threatening the Homeland today. Hillary Clinton gave the senator a rousing "me, too," reminding us why we didn't vote for either of them in 2008 when we had the chance.
Neither of them mentioned who Mr. Obama actually was arming while he didn't arm the nice, friendly, democratic Syrian rebels. That would be the Iraqi government, which we are supporting under Pottery Barn rules that came into effect during the war "that will pay for itself." Both Sen. McCain and Mrs. Clinton supported arming Iraq. What happened to those arms? 1) The once and future(?) dictator of Free Iraq, Nouri al-Maliki, reserved them for his good political allies. Who 2) left them behind when ISIS came swooping down on them. So ISIS has them. And, as a result of which,3) the Kurds -- who always were willing to fight and knew whart al-Maliki was and what he was likely to become -- didn't get any of the weapons that we intended for them. So the Kurds are now asking for weapons, and Obama looks like getting ready in his ponderous way, to send them.
Well, the Kurds, at least, will know what to do with arms if they ever get some. But anyone who thinks there are good options for the United States, or that there would be if we could get our politicians to play poltely together, hasn't been paying attention.
Regarding support for military assistance to the Kurds and humanitarian aid for victims of ISIS/ISIL see: http://mirrorofjustice.blogs.com/mirrorofjustice/2014/08/a-plea-on-behalf-of-victims-of-isisisil-barbarism-in-iraq.html and www.iraqrescue.org .

George W. Bush et al. were perfect force multipliers for Osama bin Laden's efforts. I think that, were bin Laden alive, he would be perfectly satisfied with the ongoing violence and chaos. I don't know what one can do but get the Christians out. I know a woman of Syrian Christian descent and they can do quite well here.
Hillary and Mc Cain are correct; it was our failure to aid the Syrian rebels and to stop Assad's genocidal campagn against Sunnis after moderate Sunni Syrians [and some Christians and some Alawites] rose up peacefully against a brutal dictatorship, that created and empowered this monster ISIS. There is a holcoaust against Sunnis taking place in Syria by the Assad regime.But because he is "good to Christians" we ignored it.Even worse said; Muslims killing Muslims,pass the popcorn.Anyone who had a consience about Assad's brutal treatment of Sunni's in Syria and wanted to stop it was labeled a war monger.When it became apparent that the world did not care if this "axis of evil" regime was engaged in murder of Sunnis, fanatics from all over the world converged on Syria to try to topple the regime.These extremist crazed fundamentlist fanatic thugs believe the world is at war with Sunnis and they are at war with the world.These world wide disaffected rebels found a cause. In Iraq the Shia Maliki government was likewise oppressing the Sunnis of Iraq.After we left Iraq there were consistent bombings going on there .Iraq was not at peace as the Sunnis were never part of an inclusive government but were persecuted by their government.Peaceful protests were started in Sunni Falujah a few years ago and were responded with violence by Maliki government forces.On a Sunday show a former US ambassador to Iraq said that the Sunnis of Iraq should accept that they are not in power any more. Meaning what? That being persecuted and having ones equal rights violated by the government is something they should tolerate?Since when do we believe that unequal treatment of minorities is acceptable?If they are Sunnis ,I guess. The world's indifference to the Assad's regime genicidal campagn against Sunnis ,has backfired into the empowerment of ISIS genicidists too.We are not innocent here as we turned a blind eye to Assad's holocaust of Sunnis because he was good to Christians.and because I believe, of our malice towards Muslims.When Obama and Kerry wanted to act in Syria after the red line ultuimatum, he was stopped by we the people.We [the left and the right, though for different reasons] called it a victory of the peoiple ,that we did not intervene in Syria even after civlians were killed with banned chemical weapons. Our; see no evil ,hear no evil policy of Assad's campaign against Sunnis in Syria has given us ISIS.The[ up to now anyway], lack of resistence by Sunnis of Iraq speaks to the terror of the monster that is ISIS as well as to Sunni Iraqi's political dissafection from the Shia majority government.ISIS is blowback for our virtual complicity with Assad's war against Sunnis and with Maliki's persecution of them.Yes ISIS must be stopped,so should the genicidal campagn that Assad is engaged in;there is a humanitarian crisis taking place there too that has been going on for years. Dismissing the Syria conflict as an irrelevant "civil war" when it is a genicidal campaign against Sunnis,and also where ISIS was there engaged in horrors too, has allowed ISIS to morph into what it is now and to come to bite us in "our" Iraq.The really only good war ,in the ME would have been to help the Syrians topple Assad, I believe.Once people themselves rise up to topple a brutal dictatorship it is right to aid them.I supported the help we gave to to the Libyans for the same reason.
Foreign Policy is reporting this morning that the reports of refugees and their plight seems to have been exaggerated, a development that is leaving the US wondering how their intelligence has been so out of whack:
For weeks, as many as 40,000 Iraqi civilians were reportedly stranded on Mount Sinjar in northern Iraq after fleeing the brutality of the Islamic State's steady advance. They were hungry, thirsty, and exposed to extreme temperatures. The Obama administration could not avoid responding to the mounting humanitarian crisis.
But then came a surprise: After inserting a small military reconnaissance team atop the mountain, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said late Wednesday that the situation was no longer as bad as anyone thought. There are now only about 5,000 civilians on the mountain, and they are in "better condition than previously believed," according to Hagel's statement.
For roughly 2,000 of those civilians, mostly from the minority Yazidi religious sect, Mount Sinjar is home and they do not intend to leave.

(COLUMBIA, Mo.) -- Actor Edward James Olmos will deliver the 2009 Schiffman Ethics in Society Lecture. Olmos's lecture, "Ethics in Hollywood," will begin at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 10 in Launer Auditorium on the Columbia College campus. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the lecture is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, however, so attendees are encouraged to arrive early to ensure a seat.
A media briefing and question-and-answer session for students, faculty and staff precedes the lecture at 4:30 p.m. in Dorsey Gym.
Known as the �Olivier of the Latino world,� the multi-talented actor, producer, director, and community activist was born and raised in East Los Angeles, and spent many years in theatrical roles until his Tony Award nominated performance in the musical play Zoot Suit. In 1988, Olmos received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Jaime Escalante, the eccentric but dedicated math teacher, in Stand and Deliver, which he also produced. In 1996, he was honored with a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy nomination for his work in HBO�s The Burning Season, the story of the Brazilian political activist Chico Mendes. He also won an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award for his portrayal of Lt. Castillo on the popular television series Miami Vice. He can currently be seen in the role of Commander Adama on the Sci-Fi series Battlestar Galactica.
In 1999, Olmos launched a nationwide multimedia project called Americanos: Latino Life in the United States, a celebration of Latino culture through photography, film, music, and the printed word. The project was designed to inspire Latino pride and to build bridges among Latinos and others. Americanos included a five-year traveling photography exhibition organized by the Smithsonian Institution; a music CD featuring Latino artists; a documentary that aired on HBO; and a book co-edited by Olmos of essays, photos, and commentary by today�s most notable figures in the Hispanic community.
Olmos also makes time to participate in many humanitarian efforts. He is a US Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, and a national spokesperson for organizations such as the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. He is the executive director of the Lives In Hazard Education Project, a national gang prevention program funded by the United Stated Department of Justice. He speaks at an average of 150 institutions every year.
The Schiffman Lecture Series was established in 2000 through a gift by John A. Schiffman in honor of his late wife, Althea, a 1941 graduate of Christian College who served on the Columbia College Board of Trustees from 1983 to 1987. An endowed chair in ethics, religious studies and philosophy was also established; Dr. Anthony Alioto, professor of history, has filled the position since 2002. Following his wife's death, Schiffman served on the Columbia College Board of Trustees, retiring from the board 20 years later in 2007.
"It is my hope that through the endowed chair and lecture series, Columbia College will become a force in carrying forward the message to students that integrity, honesty, fairness and compassion are just as important as intellect,� Schiffman said.

What generally accepted mnemonic phrases are there in Japanese that are used for memorizing a sequence of numbers or words?

The ones that I am most familiar with are for tying historical events to years. They can be found in vast numbers on websites like these ones and in exam study guides.
I'm not sure about "generally accepted"; some are probably more widely known than others. I would not be surprised to observe patterns corresponding to the 流派 (schools) of traditional Japanese arts, where the goroawase students learn can be linked to geographical location/study guide used/target school/etc.
I am personally fond of the variants on "naku yo uguisu" in your example (e.g. "haku yo uguisu", "the warbler vomits" for 894, etc.), and of course "Iroiro sankyū, Porutogaru" for 1639 when Japan's ports were officially closed to Portuguese ships.

Palm Beach International Raceway has hosted the 5 Day Bracket Championship and Citrus Nationals as separate drag races for many years, starting back when the facility was Moroso Motorsports Park. However, Palm Beach International Raceway's management team made the decision to combine the two races into one to accommodate the racers schedule and travel convenience. For the last few years, the 5 Day Bracket Championship has moved dates and the Citrus Nationals has traditionally been held on Thanksgiving weekend. The year to year date changes; off weeks between the South Georgia event and the off weeks between the 5 Day and Citrus Nationals have made it difficult for sportsman racers to stay in Florida to attend both events.
After the race in South Georgia ends, Palm Beach International Raceway invites racers to immediately start loading in at the facility on November 4 to prepare for the bracket championship with the first day of races beginning on November 6, 2013.
"We are excited to announce the merger of the 5 Day Bracket Championship and the Citrus Nationals," said Jason Rittenberry, President & CEO of Palm Beach International Raceway and IHRA Entertainment. "This is a change that will uphold the raceway's longstanding traditions and most popular sportsman drag races, while making it easier for our racers to participate by following Georgia's event. We hope to see many bracket racers make a return to PBIR for the 2013 winter event."
Rittenberry added, "We are working closely with Tim Fleming and the team at SGMP to jointly promote our big buck winter bracket events'. By running them back to back we hope to increase participation in both events by making it more convenient for the racers to make one trip South for two prestigious events."
The newly combined event will continue the tradition of five full days of bracket racing Wednesday through Sunday, whereby racers can still win up to $10k in quarter mile payouts and up to $5k in 1/8 mile payouts. In addition to the bracket championship races, the event will host the Citrus Nationals Pro Show on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon featuring the fan favorite exhibition vehicles jet cars and wheel standers. Drivers already committed to the show include the Embry Riddle Jet Cars driven by female drivers, Elaine Larsen and Marisha Falk of Larsen Motorsports.
Palm Beach International Raceway will continue to partner with Bennett Auto Supply as the title sponsor of the event. As a leader in the auto parts industry, Bennett Auto Supply has sought to support motorsport fans' passion for racing by partnering with PBIR for the Citrus Nationals for the past eight years as the title sponsor.
All updates regarding pricing and entry forms will be published to Palm Beach International Raceway's website RACEPBIR.com for the 32nd Annual Bennett Auto Supply 5 Day Citrus Nationals on November 6-10, 2013.
About Palm Beach International Raceway:

If you find yourself wondering why that E!, Style Network, or G4 employee you really need to get in touch with this Friday afternoon isn't picking up his extension, don't panic: he's likely tied up with some very important keg-standing business on the Beer Floor of the First Annual Comcast Entertainment Group Crawl that will be raging at the CEG headquarters on Wilshire, a nice little tension-breaker that should help the company's employees blot out any unpleasant memories of the recent bomb scare at their headquarters with some free booze. Though it was supposed to be a surprise, staffers are already buzzing about the 10-foot ice luge CEO Ted Harbert will be personally operating in the lobby to kick off the event, sending shots of perfectly chilled Grey Goose rushing towards the gaping mouths of grateful underlings who are ready to take their Happy Hour revelry up a notch.

What can writers learn from the opening lines of holiday stories?
Take the time to record your private thoughts. It can make you healthier, happier and self-aware.
Parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, librarians, friends and community leaders all play a role in literacy. And so do writers. That last group – the writers – is the topic for this issue. If you've written a children's book, middle grade book or YA book – or if you want to – you've come to the right place.
Multi-genre author Jacqueline Woodson garners the energy of history and her own childhood to shape stories for young readers.
Teen readers don't need neon lights. They need a story. Just like adults.
Magazines offer young writers experience and exposure.
"The work itself provides the inspiration."
Get digi with it: e-reading trends among young people may have implications for your work.
She hated books as a kid, but now Laurie Halse Anderson is a gritty voice for young readers and a strong defender of the craft.

Software developer for a living, I tend to spend way too much time on it after work as well...
"Born and bred" Microsoft adept, I'm currently rather in(to) the Delphi corner of the world. This hasn't prevented standards-based languages like XML, XSL, (X)HTML, CSS and Javascript to open my eyes to open source environments, which have been alluring ever since.
Perhaps Delphi Prism and Mono will finally provide a way to bridge both worlds...

The Fiscal Implications of Massachusetts Retirement Boards' Investment Returns
Throughout the US, the number and scope of defined-benefit pension plans have been on the wane for over a quarter century. Many private-sector workers have had their benefits wiped out by bankruptcies and fire sales of distressed businesses despite the legislative push from pay-as-you-go to fully funded pension plans. Meanwhile, funded government-backed retirement systems have suffered massive investment losses from the dotcom and real-estate bubbles. Massachusetts has managed to preserve most of the benefits for its 500,000 retirees and active public employees, but its retirement system has been hit hard by the sharp decline and increased volatility of asset prices. The persistently strenuous economic conditions impose some tough choices regarding the state's approach to funding its pension obligations, as retirement funds have largely failed to adjust their investment-return assumptions to the new asset-markets realities. Consequently, taxpayers and public employees alike could benefit from a timely reevaluation of the retirement system's actuarial standards and, most importantly, the pension funds' assumed rates of return (ARR).

Why is work defined as force dot displacement? I know that it is defined like that based on the observational fact - we do more work when we apply greater force or move to a greater distance. But I wanted to know if there was a more physical reason to back this fundamental relation.
Actually work as you mentioned has meaning only in classical mechanics, in this physics there are classical (vector) forces and meaning for displacement, but in modern Quantum Physics there are no more such things, or at least their meaning is totally different, there are no more force as this simple vectors or meaning to say that our particle has been displaced 5 meters.
So what I want to say, is that actually energy is much more fundamental that "work" , while other answers explained the relation between work and energy in classical sense, they didn't mention why energy is more fundamental, and that because energy is a concept that deeply related with the structure of our space & time, more precisely because our space & time are homogeneous and isotropic (this means that rotating or displacing a box and applying on it the same experiment will not change the results, rather you will do experiment now or after 100 years), this nature according to "First Noeather theorem" makes energy & momentum conserved.
$dW = F \cdot ds$
Where $dW$ is an infinitesimal amount of Work, and $ds$ is an infinitesimal displacement. With this,
$dW = m\left(\frac{dv}{dt}\right) \cdot ds $
since $F = ma = m\left(\frac{dv}{dt}\right)$. Therefore,
$dW = m\left(\frac{ds}{dt}\right)dv = m \cdot vdv$
Now from the chain rule it follows that
$vdv = \frac12 d(v^2)$
where $d(v^2)$ means a small change in $v^2$. Therefore
$dW = m\left(\frac{ds}{dt}\right)dv = m \cdot \frac12 d(v^2)$
Integrating over $W$ for constant acceleration yields
$W = \frac12 m(v^2 - u^2)$
where $v$ is the final velocity and $u$ is the initial velocity. Therefore,
$W = \frac12 mv^2 - \frac12 mu^2 = $ final KE - initial KE.
So work being defined as Force $\cdot$ Displacement makes work equivalent to the change in kinetic energy.
