I'm trying to distinguish the differences between English words that express emotional or psychological sensitivity, in particular "pity", "compassion", "sympathy", "empathy", "pathetic", and "pitiful". I'd appreciate some help associating those English words with their proper German equivalents (wie Mitleid, Mitgefühl, usw.).

In principle these words are very similar. The words are either synonyms or they define each other. That leads to the fact that the translation is intersecting. Which word you actually choose depends on the context.
I take the explanation from OALD.

1966 Ford Mustang - Let It Eat! - PHR Project CarWritten by on November 1, 2009 The Project Street Fighter Mustang Gets A Complete Fuel System To Feed Its Hungry 427 Windsor.
Street Fighter
Every project we tackle on this car gets us one step closer to having it run and drive. It feels like we're inching toward a finish line a mile away but this step is a big one. So far, we've built up the drivetrain and suspension to handle some high-speed road racing and quick-steering autocross action. Now it's time to work out the details.
This month, we're taking aim at the fuel system. The factory stuff isn't up to the task of supplying clean and ample fuel to the thirsty 850 Mighty Demon. The factory fuel tank capacity is 16 gallons, which is plenty for track days and street driving, but our chosen replacement, a bolt-in stainless steel tank from Rick's Tanks, is a generous 23 gallons. The biggest reason for the upgrade is that Rick's tank has built-in baffling that makes it perfect for the twisties of a road course or autocross circuit. Fuel slosh can potentially starve an engine, and that's never a good thing. The new tank also has a built-in electric AC Delco fuel pump that will supply enough fuel for the carbureted Windsor we're running, and even a high-pressure EFI system like on a 5.0L Mustang engine. Unlike most fuel cells, this tank fits in the factory location and follows the body line of the Mustang's underbelly. The top does protrude into the interior of the trunk, but barely cuts down on the storage space. Rick's Tanks delivered a true bolt-in product that is exactly that. Besides trimming the factory filler neck, no modification was needed to install the tank.
From the pump, we chose to use Earl's Pro-Lite 350 hose. It's something we've used before in our project cars. We like it because it's lightweight, black, and really easy to work with. Unlike traditional steel-braided lines, this stuff cuts effortlessly and doesn't fray. Have you ever been cut or stabbed from a stainless line assembly? It's not a problem with the Pro-Lite hose. Its core is a synthetic rubber hose with nylon-braided sheathing that is resistant to abrasion. Pro-Lite is about half the weight of stainless-braided hose with many similarperformance specifications. The pressure maximum is 350 psi, which is much higher than anything this Mustang will ever see. Operating temperatures are extreme too, which is usually true in a race car. This super-clean black hose wouldn't look right without Earl's Ano-Tuff black-anodized aluminum hose ends and adapters.
In line to the regulator we used Earl's screen-type fuel filter that has -8 AN male fittings on either end to make it easy to splice into our main feed line. We used -8 sizing for the feed and return lines to keep ample flow to the regulator and to allow the fuel to return without restriction back to the tank. The pump puts out 40 psi of pressure, so having a high-flow return is important.
Because the pump's output pressure is much higher than necessary for a carbureted application without a controller, we used a return, or bypass-style, regulator. Fuel enters the regulator as the pump's output pressure is reduced for the outlet (carburetor) side, and the excess fuel is returned to the tank. We're using an Aeromotive A1000 carbureted bypass-style pressure regulator that is built just for this type of fuelsystem. It's adjustable between 3 and 15 psi. This particular one is made specifically for marine applications, but is suitable for street and race use. We liked it because it was all black instead of black and silver, or black and red, like their other versions of the same regulator. The marine version carries extra certifications that raise its price from the others, but it sure looks sharp.
The last run of Pro-Lite goes from the regulator to the carburetor inlet line. The regulator has two carburetor outlets so you can feed each bowl separately, but we wanted a single inlet into the Barry Grant's braided -6 fuel line.
In any system, whether it's cooling, wiring, braking, or plumbing, it's always good to go a little bigger or better than what you expect to need. The price difference is marginal to upgrade when you are initially building, but it's extreme when you have to start replacing stuff. That's why we're using really high-quality parts and high-flow lines and fittings to make sure we don't have any fuel starvation problems down the road.

Assembling The Hoses
Instead of using hard line or regular rubber hose, we used Earl's Pro-Lite 350 hose. This stuff is really easy to work with and it's very pliable for routing. Though not required, there are some special tools that help make assembly much easier. We used Earl's aluminum vise jaw liners, Earl's aluminum -AN wrenches, electrical tape, and a cutoff wheel.

Here's what we had to start with. The factory 16-gallon stamped-steel tank was in better condition than it looks, but it wasn't going to suit our needs as the build progresses. We tore it out to make way for the new Rick's Tanks fabricated stainless steel replacement.With the tank out of our Project Street Fighter, we removed all of the factory seam sealer and debris that had worked its way between the tank and the trunk floor.The new tank from Rick's Hot Rod Shop sets right in place of the factory unit. It comes without any holes drilled for mounting, so we marked what holes we wanted to use from the underside. The holes are a little too small to mark with a Sharpie, so we used a small crafts brush and model paint to mark the holes. We then drilled the holes for 1/4-inch Allen bolts, two for each side of the tank for a total of eight.To keep dust, debris, air, and water from coming up between the tank and the trunk floor, we used clear silicone sealant. You can use just about any sealant including seam sealer, bathroom calking, or gasket material. A 1/4-inch bead does the trick.This is the inlet and vent. The inlet is placed in the factory location, but because the whole tank is taller for the extra capacity, you will need to shorten the filler neck about 3 inches to compensate. The vent has a ball valve just beneath the top of the tank as a safety feature in case of a rollover. The hose attached to this valve needs to vent to the exterior.This is the tank fully installed. The tank is built specifically for '64 to '70 Mustangs, so it keeps the body line between the rear valance and the wheel opening. The last thing we wanted was something hanging down lower than the body.The Aeromotive regulator we chose comes with a small bracket to make mounting easier. We set the bracket on the firewall with the regulator attached to visualize the cleanest routing of the fuel lines. When we were set on a position, we scribed around the bracket and drilled the holes for the mounting screws. We needed to mount the regulator before building the lines so we could be sure of the correct lengths we would need.With the regulator mounted, we built our lines from the tank. Here you can see their exit from the front of the tank behind the differential. The tank came with two 3/8-inch NPT female fittings, one for the feed and one for the return line. We used Earl's Ano-Tuff and Pro-Lite 350 hose to run the length of the car. We replaced the stock 1/4-inch line with -8 that has a 1/2-inch id. An ignition-armed, positive 10-gauge wire and matching 10-gauge ground is all the tank needs to run.On the feed side, about 2 feet from the fuel tank, we mounted the Earl's screen-type fuel filter. It has a -8 male fitting on the front and back of the filter body to connect our lines to. Make sure to install this in a safe, accessible area. We put it between the rear wheel and the front of the rear frame section.
The last stop on our plumbing adventure is the carburetor. To get the fuel from the regulator outlet line to the bowls, we used Barry Grant's -6 inlet fuel kit to hook up to the 850-cfm Mighty Demon.Meet the Aeromotive 13207 regulator. This regulator is set up to work with many types of engines including supercharged and naturally aspirated. It features a boost/vacuum port for reference; we left it uncapped for our application. The regulator is mounted in such a position as to provide a straight shot to the carburetor inlet line. We made sure to give that line enough slack to compensate for any engine rocking. It's also got a gauge port to keep an eye on the pressure.Next, cut the hose with a fine-disc cutoff tool. You can use really sharp hose cutters, but the cutoff wheel works the best.Remove the tape and push the socket side of the fitting over the hose. The hose should end at the bottom of the threaded section in the socket. Put a couple drops of assembly lube on the inside of the hose to help it go together.Clamp the socket into the vice. We used Earl's aluminum vise jaw liners to protect the finish on the fittings. Gently start the nipple side of the fitting into the socket by hand. These are made from aluminum so it's important to be gentle with the threads. Once they are started, finish the assembly with an -AN wrench. We used Earl's aluminum double-sided wrenches for the job. Make sure the hose is not being forced out of the socket while you tighten. The nipple should be within .060-inch of bottoming out on the socket.

Lung Disease & Respiratory Health Center
Sputum Culture
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Recent use of antibiotics, which may prevent the growth of bacteria or fungi in the culture.
- Contamination of the sputum sample.
- An inadequate sputum sample.
- Waiting too long to deliver the sample to the laboratory.
- Use of mouthwash before collecting a sputum sample.
What To Think About
- Organisms (such as bacteria or a fungus) may be identified by using special dyes on the sputum sample. This is called a Gram stain. A Gram stain can help a doctor:
- Determine whether the sputum sample is adequate for culture. For example, a sputum sample that is not collected properly may not contain enough bacteria to warrant a culture, or the sample may be contaminated by other bacteria that are not infecting the lungs. If the sample is not adequate for culture, another sample can be obtained.
- Make an initial diagnosis before the culture results are received. In some cases, Gram stain results can be available within 30 minutes, but culture results may not be available for one to several days. Information received from a Gram stain can help your doctor treat the infection earlier, rather than waiting for the culture results.
- Because sputum collected by coughing usually contains bacteria from your mouth, these culture results must be considered along with your symptoms, condition, and other test results, such as a chest X-ray.
- A culture that does not grow any bacteria or fungi may not rule out an infection.
- A special growth medium is needed for some cultures, such as for those that can find infection by tuberculosis (TB) bacteria, mycoplasma, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, or fungus. TB bacteria and most types of fungi grow very slowly and may not show up in a culture for several weeks. So treatment for a suspected fungus or TB infection may begin before culture results are known.
- Sensitivity testing helps a doctor choose the best medicine to kill specific types of bacteria or fungi infecting a person. Differences in the genetic material (DNA) of bacteria or fungi may make them resistant to certain antibiotics. In such cases, those antibiotics can't kill all of the bacteria. When an effective antibiotic is chosen, you must complete the entire course to lower the chance that the bacteria will become resistant to the antibiotic. Stopping antibiotic treatment early kills only the most sensitive bacteria, while those that are more resistant can multiply and prolong the infection. Subsequent infections may also be harder to treat if caused by resistant bacteria.
- Bronchoscopy is often done if a serious or recurring lung infection is present, especially when other tests have not definitely determined the cause. To learn more, see the topic Bronchoscopy.

Recently climbed a summit name Stok Kangri(6153m) in Leh, India. I wanted to know if there are similar high altitude peaks which can be climbed without much of mountaineering expertise required in the Himalayan range.
Thanks in advance.
Recently climbed a summit name Stok Kangri(6153m) in Leh, India. I wanted to know if there are similar high altitude peaks which can be climbed without much of mountaineering expertise required in the Himalayan range.
Thanks in advance.
Haba Xueshan (Haba Snow Mountain 哈巴雪山) is a commonly summited peak here in Yunnan, China, at the eastern extent of the Himalaya. It's not as high altitude ("only" 5396 m) but it has high prominence (1794 m), and is situated picturesquely above Tiger Leaping Gorge. I understand that people summit without a lot of expertise, but it requires overnighting and a guide. It has the additional advantage of being easy for foreigners to travel to (fly in to Lijiang or Diqing airport via Kunming with no need for special permits), unlike many peaks in Xizang (Tibet), and in Tibetan areas of Sichuan.
Haba Xueshan (left), with Yulong Xueshan in the foreground and the upper Yangtze River below
In Nepal there is Thorong La which is a high altitude pass in the Annapurna that is doable without, in my opinion, much experience. It is fairly popular trek and you will likely encounter organized groups even during the off season. There are accessible trekking routes with accommodations and progressive acclimatization.
You will need to acquire permits and may want to consider hiring a Sherpa.
It might be both an obvious choice and not a "real" mountain, but what about Kala Pathar, the "black rock"?
It's a 5545 meter hill facing Mt. Everest, and is the final destination of the Everest Base Camp Trek. Despite appearing unimpressive from Gorak Shep (the last and highest tea house in the area), it's still a harrowing hour or two to get to the top. The view of Everest is great, and the views along the nine day journey from Lukla, the nearest airport, are also fabulous.
Getting back to Lukla from Gorak Shep and Kala Pathar can be done in a lot less time - two or three days, even. There's also the possibility to cross over to the Gokyo Lakes region by going over the 5370 meter Cho La pass. I liked the Gokyo area, and the pass, though difficult, was worth the effort, since it means you return to Lukla by a different route.
The area is very touristy and often crowded, but the atmosphere is pleasant and there's a good spirit of camaraderie among the tourists.
I climbed the Stok Kangri some years ago. I went to Langtang (Nepal) last March/April. The Tsermo Ri is at an altitude of around 4900m (if I remember correctly). It can be walked up easily without special equipment from Kyanjing Gompa. It is a day trip from the Kyanjing Gompa village. The summit might not be as high as the Stok Kangri but the view is really worth the walk!
In the same Langtang valley, the Yala Peak is a trekking peak and can be done according to the people we met on the trek without climbing. But you might need porter and guide for the route... Especially if like this year the snow is still covering the route.
I had a chat with a local guide during my last trip and he said that the road for jeeps to the Thorong La was finished. I saw the construction work in a previous trek in the Manang Valley in 2006... So the Thorung La might not be interesting for trekker after this season... Unfortunately. This is sad, the trek was really beautiful.
There are few peaks like : Ekdant - 6128 mtrs (A name for Lord Ganesh), Kartik - 5113 mtrs(named after brother of Lord Ganesh). I had planned for these two on a single trip, though I cudnt bid for summit due to bad weather. There is Parvati Parbat (6,257m) above the Satopanth Glacier. I have the Himalayan Journal of year 2009 which has expedition reports and lots of useful notes on above said peaks. Try and get a copy of that from Himalayan Club. Or even this link here may come handy. But, the above are less trekable than Climbable peaks.
As of now, if you are looking for Absolute Trek'able thing around Himalays, try and do Mt. Everest Base camp trek from Luk'la, Nepal. Its an amazing experience to have! I have planned the same in next year August.
EBC is not technically difficult at all, but the Altitude and Weather part together make it more challenging. Its also about the distance you cover. In the EBC trek, you can summit Gokyo Ri as well, Now of Gokyo Ri Trek, I've heard so far, is tougher than Stok Kangri.
One more option, which is less Trek'able as you expect, is relatively difficult, is: Doing a Trek upto the Advance Base Camp (ABC) of the Saser Kangri in East Karakoram. Set your Base Camp at 4750 m and then an Advanced Base Camp at 5360 m. If you are good with ration and equipment then you can also try and reach to Camp 1 at 5880 m. Beyond Camp 1 (usually called C1) its no longer easy. I believe with the kind of thing you are looking for, reaching ABC of Saser Kangri is a good fun. Beyond that, you may choose whether to continue to C1 or fall back.
Or you have route like, Kanchenjunga Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit.
Have a look at this site as well.

Abbie Fagin
Strong Connections
Second-year student Abbie Fagin '13 says there is nothing like the energy and diversity of Morningside Heights. She goes on to note that it contrasts noticeably with the quiet, leafy suburb of Cleveland where she grew up.
As the social director for Columbia Law School's Midwest Society, Fagin continues to value her connection to Ohio while enjoying the benefits of New York City. She regularly helps organize trivia nights, college football viewing parties, and career panels focused on the Midwest.
This past summer, Fagin returned to Cleveland as a law clerk in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Ohio. The opportunity presented its share of challenges—and rewards. "I worked in an underfunded office in an underfunded city with a lot of crime and corruption," says Fagin, who helped with civil and criminal tax investigations, as well as with bank robbery cases and sex trafficking trials. "They were badly in need of clerks, and I felt like I was directly contributing to the health of downtown Cleveland."
This summer, though, Fagin plans on remaining in New York City. She will delve into estate and tax issues as a summer associate at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. In particular, Fagin is drawn to the problem-solving and client-based skills required of the tax field. "My mind functions very well when I can work on discrete provisions," she says. Fagin adds that her preference for a collaborative and social environment makes the specialty an ideal fit: "It's a really personal area of the law. I like the idea of being some family's lawyer for 50 years."

COPPERAS COVE (October 11, 2012)--A Copperas Cove man arrested and charged after police found his 20-month-old son unsupervised and outside covered in fire ants was free on bond Thursday.
Danny Wayne Osborn, 23, was arrested on Sunday and charged with abandoning or endangering a child.
He posted an $8,000 bond and was released from custody.
According to an arrest affidavit, police found Osborn's son outside crying, bug-bitten and covered in ants.
A neighbor said she called 911 after she found the toddler wearing a dirty diaper crying near the home.
The neighbor also said the little boy was burning up and still had ants crawling on him.
Osborn told police he had been inside the home sleeping for hours and that the toddler's mother was not home.
Neighbors and paramedics said they were unable to wake Osborn up.
Police believe the child left the house through the back door, which was unlocked.

I do plan to get the hex-core i7. But not overclock it. I want to use water for the quiet (mostly during folding). I'm not under any impression that water is better than air. I did not realize it before adding the H-60 to my current rig, when all of a sudden, it got QUIET! I never had any idea that fan noise produces an overall fatigue that literally puts me to sleep.
So that's my reason for water cooling the CPU; to avoid the noisy, whining fan! And now I want to fold at 100% on the new machine when I'm not doing any other strenuous activites (which is 90% of the time anyway because I don't do music or graphics for a living).
I could put an H100 on the CPU, but if the folding causes the graphic card's fan to ramp up, then I'm really not gaining anything by using water on the CPU only.
BIF wrote:But yeah, if I'm thinking of getting a 690, that GPU alone would need two waterblocks.
Not bad, especially since we don't see many self contained GPU systems. For that price, though, I'd personally go full custom since I tend to think that the very idea of watercooling is just as much, if not more, for the experience of building your own loop than simply temps.vargis14 wrote:http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/vga/5 ... tml?c=2182

Bertha von Suttner was an Austrian novelist, known chiefly as an ardent pacifist. Her pacifist novel Die Waffen nieder (1889, tr. Lay Down Your Arms, 1892) had great social impact. Through her subsequent friendship with Alfred Nobel, she influenced him to establish the Nobel Prizes. She was the first woman awarded (1905) the Nobel Peace Prize.
Fun Fact: Bertha von Suttner was born Countess Kinsky in Prague, growing up in the Austrian court.

My apology for blaming the camera when how visible the feet were was a projection issue. We saw it at the AMC 25 in NYC, and by noon, there were at least ten other films playing. It may also have been an issue of not much staffing.
We could see feet in Federal Way (outside Seattle), although they didn't turn the house lights out until about 10 minutes into the first act. This was the first matinee of the day in a multiple theater house -- I have a feeling they were running on short staff.
Many thanks for the id.
Hilarion or Hans was Ilya Kuznetsov. I do not know who was Wilfred.
There was no corps dancing for the nobility. They were already offstage.No peasant pdd. There was extensive corps dancing by a large several groups of dancers, but no individuals standing out.
No peasant pdd? Did the corps dance for Bathilde? I can't imagine Giselle without the peasant pdd.
"By the book" pretty much describes his entire characterization. He didn't look lost, though, which is often clear when there's 20 seconds to do mime or a portrayal, the dancers haven't been given or developed something logical to do with every second (which can include pauses), and they either start to look desperate or they rush back and forth "dramatically".I wouldn't say "fey," ... would "a cipher" be too strong a word? The petal business was done according to the book but you didn't learn anything about his character from the way he did it.
A fey Albrecht? How did he portray the "he loves me/loves me not" flower petal scene? Did he have any humor or justification for his deception, or was he just slimy and self-involved? This sounds so disappointing.
I would call "cipher" too strong because I've seen cipher: we have a dancer at PNB, Batkhurel Bold, who can make his face a mask and give up nothing, but you see the energy behind him deliberately not telling. I would call Sarafanov a blank.
Sarafanov and Kuznetzov did do the "You!", "No, you!" accusations, but the camera had pulled back by that point, and while their arms and fingers "said" that mime, the rest of their bodies could barely care, and like just about the rest of the mime, except for the Albrecht/Wilfrid entrance, where at least Wilfrid got to explain his objection (although he didn't get the repeat), it was over in a second, like removing the petal, and you could have missed it if you blinked.
"Slimy and self-involved"? Far from it. There was very little "self" in this portrayal. I am a fan of Nureyev's desperately self-centered reaction to the shock of Giselle's death: pointing hysterically to Hilarion and "shouting" ... YOU. YOU are to blame." Sarafanov politely mourns Giselle and then runs off. His cape flutters nicely but -- I am not kidding here -- with restraint..
I watched the Bolshoi "Giselle" with Lavrovsky and Bessmertnova last week before I left. They don't have the hounds either, and the sets were as sparse as the Mariinsky's in the 3D production. I thought that the Bolshoi version might have been a TV version and the sparse sets and cutting the peasant pas were to fit into a TV format and time slot, but even if it was, the live version wasn't much different in these respects.No hounds. Maybe dogs are too spontaneous to risk in 3D.
And sadly no hounds....
While the peasant pas was in the original, thanks to Doug Fullington's and Marian Smith's excellent presentations in Seattle, I learned it was a last minute insertion. It's also to different music. By the funereal pace at which the orchestra played and what has become the traditional orchestration, had they added the peasant pas it might not have been clear that the music was by Burgmuller, not Adam, because with the original orchestration and tempi, the music for the peasant pas is jarringly non-specific to "Giselle". (Hearing the original orchestrations in Seattle in June, it was like a painting was cleaned, and suddenly, after years of scholarship describing the painters' choice of somber colors as a reflection of his viewpoint on life, it is revealed that the original colors are bold and vibrant.)
I could see a deliberate choice to remove something that is thought to be a result of last-minute pressure to give a part to at least one of the original dancers. At least recently the ballet hasn't been paired with another, like Royal Danish Ballet does with "La Sylphide"; I could see leaving peasant pas out for time if "Giselle" were two of three parts of an evening bill, but this wasn't the case here.
You hit the nail on the head with this, bart. If you watched his legs, it was like a day in the park. His arms showed his exhaustion and his predicament.
My favorite part of Sarafanov's performance -- the bit where Albrecht, driven to dance by the Wilis, does a long series of exhausting entrechats. Sarafanov's were high, fast (3D made them very clear to the eye). But he added a touch I liked. As Albrecht begins to tire, Sarafanov's created the illusion that his body was becoming heavy. His arms (5th en bas) moved slightly to the front, as did his shoulders as they would if one were struggling. He wasn't struggling of course. Those entrechats remained perfect. The "look" however was completely in character and dramatically effective. So were his jumps near the end (mirroring Hilarion's desperate movements earlier in the Act). One arm thrusts up, seeming to pull his body along with it and throwing his shoulders out of alignment. On the next jump, the other arm. Again. Again. Hands are uncupped, with fingers spayed. Classical perfection breaks down for a moment, which brings you closer to Albrecht and to what his ordeal-by-dancing must have felt like.
I wish that the mother had made this look like it was part of the drama, especially with the close up. Instead, it looked like she was the one charged with making Giselle's hair flow for the mad scene. It reminded me of the Met broadcast of "Die Walkure" at the end of the first act where Jonas Kaufmann was struggling to get his hair down.
(And it did make me think of the late 19th century view of women as borderline hysterics, due to the constrictions of corsets and heavy hairstyles. One of the 'first aid' remedies when a woman fainted was to loosen the corset and take down her hair.)
Osipova did look like she was feverish with consumption for much of Act I.

Often large-scale paintings focused on the relationship between boat and water, light and water, home and landscape, her work "generates spaces that aren't there, and physicalizes the experience so it feels like stepping outdoors," according to Bolsey herself. Reviewer Cate McQuaid of The Boston Globe praised her work for its "grand painterly abstractions that use recognizable shapes to explore the phantasm of light." In an essay included in a past show catalogue, critic Donald Kuspit wrote that her work "recovers the state of reverie in which every appearance becomes an aesthetic hallucination."

Architect + Sencha Cmd
UPDATED: 9/17/13 - new
Adding a note about using charts w/ packaged or simulated build
Info added about removing extra app.js file that cmd creates for ext js projects
Info added about using 'app build native' for packaging apps
Styling for readability
more info added
Note: The goal of this sticky is to provide a list of steps for users to follow as a stopgap until the Cmd and Architect team can resolve them. The expectation is that the 'Configure Cmd to work with your Architect project' section should eventually disappear.
All your hard work is paying off and your app is ready for production or to be put on it's first device. Great! You're ready to use Sencha Cmd utility to build and/or package your app for distribution. In this sticky, I explain the steps required to do this for Architect 2.1 projects:
- Download the appropriate SDK and Sencha Cmd software
- Initialize Cmd for your Architect applications
- Configure Cmd to work with your Architect Project
- Build your application
- Package your app for production (Touch only)
Download the SDK and Sencha Cmd software
Architect projects by default reference their SDK from the cloud. Cmd however requires the appropriate SDK to be installed locally on your system. You can dowload the SDKs from the following locations:
Touch 2.1.x SDK http://www.sencha.com/products/touch/download/
Ext JS 4.1.xa or 4.2+ SDK
Links to the sdk are at the end of this article. The "a" at the end of the version number indicates that this version works with Sencha Cmd.
Unzip the SDK(s) you downloaded into a place you can find later e.g. C:\sencha\libs
Architect 2.1 only supports Cmd build 250. Download and unzip the appropriate version for your operating system:
However if you're comfortable at the command line I encourage you to use that with the latest version of Cmd
Initialize Cmd for your Architect applications
To initialize Cmd to work for your Architect applications, you'll need to run the sencha generate command from the directory where the Ext JS or Touch SDK is installed:
open a fresh command line interface (terminal, iterm, cmd.exe, etc ...)
$ cd path/to/sdk (not project)
For the next command you need to specify the name you gave your project in Architect. The default is MyApp. To find out what name you've given it select the Application node in the inspector and find the name config.
$ sencha generate app <projectName> path/to/project
Note that this does not actually generate a new project but instead finds your project and adds the metadata required by Cmd.
Note to users of the SDK Tools v2 utilities:
If you have used the SDK Tools v2 utilities on this project, issue the following cmd to upgrade to Sencha Cmd:
$ cd path/to/project
$ sencha app upgrade path/to/sdk
Configure Cmd to work with your Architect project
Some changes will need to be made for your Architect project to work with Cmd. Find the section that corresponds to the project type you're working with below and follow the steps in order.Ext JS Projects
Update your sencha.cfg file
By default, Cmd expects Ext JS projects to have their app.js file located in the app/ directory. Architect saves that file instead at the root of the project. The sencha.cfg file defines this location in the following line:
# .sencha/app/sencha.cfg app.classpath=${app.dir}/app
# .sencha/app/sencha.cfg app.classpath=${app.dir}/app.js,${app.dir}/app
Cmd will create 2 files that can be a real headache if you don't remove them
app/app.js <-- this file will throw Cmd for a loop so be sure to remove it
app/view/Main.js <-- only remove this one if you didn't have your own Main.js view
del app/app.js
rm app/app.js
Update your index.html file to define the locations of the .css and .js files, similar to the definitions given in the app.html file created by Architect. Note that the declarations for the .js source files should be located between the x-compile tags:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>   <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>fresh</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href=".res/default/app.css">          Touch Projects
Update your index.html file
Update your index.html file to define the locations of the .css and .js files, similar to the definitions given in the app.html file created by Architect.
Also be sure it includes the microloader line

Building your app for production
Use the following command to build your app for production:
$ sencha app build production
Note that this is not the same as the "Build" button in the Architect Toolbar. For more information about building and compiling applications see:
Touch: http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-1/#!/..._app-section-6
Ext JS: http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/#!...and_app_single
Packaging your app for production (Touch only)
To package your app for devices you'll want to carefully configure your packager.json file either using a text editor or using Architect and the Cmd Wizard. Once you've done so you can run:
$ sencha app build native
I have no idea what went wrong after a sencha command - new
Try using the debug flag
$ sencha -debug blah blah blah
This will give you extra output to figure out what's going on
Too much output? Redirect it to a log file
$ sencha -debug blah blah blah > log.txt
Cmd can't find my javascript files?
if you change your appFolder you'll need to make that change as well in the classpath of the sencha.cfg file. As there will be no files in app/ they will be in <appFolder>/
White screen while simulating or installing on device when using Charts
You'll need to add Ext.Chart.* to your Applications requires config. Select the top most node in the inspector and located the requires config in the config pane. Add Ext.chart.*
Extra file Main.js
Cmd's generate command can sometimes create an extraneous Main view (app/view/Main file); you can just delete this file.
Error while simulating
You may see the following error when using the iOS Simulator:
{NSLocalizedDescription=iOS Simulator failed to install the application., DTiPhoneSimulatorUnderlyingErrorCodeKey=-1}
iOS Simulator > reset content settings...
Try your simulate again.
White screen after building Ext JS app
For some reason if your initial view isn't a Viewport, autocreateviewport setting on Application isn't working on a build app.
a fix: Add a viewport and drag your current initial view into it. Mark the viewport as your initial view. Re-build and voila! I think this is a bug but this is a clear workaround.Phil Strong

Maybe a bit cumbersome, but my approach is to do a deploy to a separate directory and then I check in this directory in a different path in subversion.
I have the SA project in svn://host/project/trunk and then the deployed directory is checked in to svn://host/project/deploy When I then build a release I tag the deploy svn path to svn://host/project/tags/version
I export the tagged directory and then run it through Sencha Cmd for release.
As a flowchart:

If you are already running deploy, what's the purpose to run cmd on the deployed folder? Sounds redundant to me.
I really hope there is a solution that would:
1) eliminate the need to check in generated code, and
2) allow an automated build to compile and deploy js files from just xds and metatdata

I expect deployment, packaging, minifying, and other improvements related to CI support to be a big part of Architect 2.3. What I've been calling "the last mile".Phil Strong

If you're trying to do a build of your project (single js, compressed) then it's likely you'll need to make sure your index.html file include the following
You're going to need to have the microloader in your entry html file

<!DOCTYPE HTML>   <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>fresh</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href=".res/default/app.css">          Phil Strong

I am having trouble with generating an app with cmd from an Architect project.
I am running on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)
Architect: 2.1.0 Build 678
Cmd: v18.104.22.168
ExtJs: 4.1.1a commercial
Here are the steps I followed:
- Create new project in Architect
- Edit the Library Base Path to point to the copy of ext-4.1.1a on my server
- Save and preview the app
- Close Architect
- cd to location of extJs-4.1.1a
- Execute: sencha generate app Test09 /var/www/Test09/
- Receive errors from sencha cmd shown below
[INF] Processing class inheritance graph [INF] Processing instantiation refereces to classes and aliases [WRN] [ [1000] : Yui Compressor Warning <> Trailing comma is not legal in an ECMA-262 object initializer => ] ] :: ( /var/www/Test09/ext/src/ux/grid/filter/DateFilter.js => 133 : 25 ) [INF] Processing source dependencies [ERR] Failed to find file for Test09.view.Viewport required by /var/www/Test09/app/app.js [ERR] BUILD FAILED
I must have missed a step, but it is a fairly simple procedure and I can't see where I went wrong.
I am evaluating Architect for a project I need to do and I'm trying to come up with a reasonable work flow that includes Architect at the front end. Any help will be appreciated.
11 Feb 2013 7:58 AM #9
Did you by any chance change your appFolder (on the Application node in Architect). This would change where Architect places your generated javascript.
If so you'll need to update the classpath in .sencha/app/sencha.cfg and change ${app.dir}/app to ${app.dir}/blahPhil Strong
11 Feb 2013 8:49 AM #10
No, I didn't change anything other than what is specified in the procedure above. Well, I did drag a Panel to the canvas.
Here is the output of ls -R on the project directory after step #4:
jcarter@lucid-vm:/var/www/Test13$ ls -R .: app app.html app.js metadata Test13.xds ./app: view ./app/view: MyPanel.js Viewport.js ./metadata: Application resource view ./metadata/resource: Library ./metadata/view: MyPanel

Adapted from a story that originally appeared on the Alzheimer Research Forum.
15 January 2013. Apolipoprotein E4 makes people prone to Alzheimer's disease, but scientists don't know when that risk begins to manifest. Could it even be in the womb? New research suggests that the genetic variant can influence brain structure as early as infancy. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study babies two weeks post-gestational term, Rebecca Knickmeyer and colleagues found that the regional brain volume was different in ApoE4 carriers relative to ApoE3 homozygotes. The changes were in AD-relevant brain areas. The finding "re-emphasizes how important the prenatal and early postnatal period may be for outcomes many years in the future," said Knickmeyer, who is at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Published January 2 in Cerebral Cortex, the study also examined how other genetic variants linked to autism, schizophrenia, and other psychiatric illnesses affect brain structure.
In this first-ever neonatal MRI study incorporating genetics, Knickmeyer and senior author John Gilmore, also of the University of North Carolina, examined 272 babies. Mothers had normal ultrasounds and no major medical problems. However, 40 percent of the infants had a parent with a psychiatric illness. The researchers intentionally enriched their sample in this way, since studying only healthy volunteers makes it harder to pick up genetic effects that associate with illness.
The researchers used two MRI approaches to analyze brain volume—automated region-of-interest volumetry and tensor-based morphometry. They correlated the MRI data with ApoE4, and with other genetic variants linked to psychiatric illness, i.e., in genes for disrupted-in-schizophrenia 1 (DISC1), catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), neuregulin 1 (NRG1), estrogen receptor α (ESRα), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and glutamate decarboxylase 1 (GAD1). The MRI methods are complementary; automated volumetry looks at global volume and large brain regions, whereas the morphometry measures the brain point by point.
Relative to ApoE3 homozygotes, newborns carrying ApoE4 developed smaller temporal areas and smaller hippocampi—brain regions that typically degenerate in AD. Volume losses show up in similar areas in adults who carry an ApoE4 allele. Curiously, the researchers found that ApoE4 associated with a larger parietal lobe, another brain area that succumbs to AD, though usually later in the disease. The parietal gains "may be unique to infants and young children and could be beneficial," Knickmeyer noted. Several previous papers have suggested that ApoE4 may confer cognitive benefit during childhood (Taylor et al., 2011; Wright et al., 2003), though the issue is not clear.
Gains and Losses
Newborns with the AD risk variant ApoE4 have smaller temporal areas (blue), whereas some parts of the parietal lobe are enlarged (red). Image courtesy of Rebecca C. Knickmeyer et al. Common Variants in Psychiatric Risk Genes Predict Brain Structure at Birth Cereb. Cortex bhs401 first published online January 2, 2013, doi:10.1093/cercor/bhs401, Fig. 4. Adapted and reprinted with permission of Oxford University Press
Scientists said the new findings are important and seem consistent with other work suggesting that ApoE4 disrupts brain metabolism and connectivity even in the absence of, or prior to, AD pathology (see Jagust et al., 2012; Sheline et al., 2010; Filippini et al., 2009). Bill Rebeck and Adam Green of Georgetown University, Washington, DC, cited the size of the dataset as one of the study's strengths. "When the researchers analyze ApoE genotype, they have enough individuals to make interesting comparisons (156 ApoE3 homozygotes versus 66 ApoE4 carriers)," they wrote in an e-mail to Alzforum (see full comment below).
In follow-up, Knickmeyer and colleagues will run brain scans on the participants at one, two, four, and six years of age, correlating the MRI with comprehensive behavioral data on motor skills, language, and memory development.—Esther Landhuis.

August 9, 2010
The National Science Foundation has awarded New York University's Department of Anthropology and its institutional partners a five-year, $3.2 million grant to support a graduate student training program, the New York Consortium in Evolutionary Primatology (NYCEP). NSF's flagship interdisciplinary training initiative, Integrated Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT), funds the program.
NYCEP aims to equip the next generation of evolutionary primatologists with the experience, skills, expertise, and creativity to tackle critical research problems that can be solved only by scientists with the unique interdisciplinary and global perspectives that the program's students receive.
NYCEP brings together researchers, educators, and resources from five institutions in New York City: the City University of New York, Columbia University, NYU, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Wildlife Conservation Society at the Bronx Zoo. The consortium includes over 60 scholars with research interests in comparative anatomy, paleontology, molecular systematics, population genetics, social behavior, ecology, and conservation of primates, spanning the entire breadth of the field of evolutionary primatology. NYCEP faculty and students currently conduct fieldwork in more than thirty different countries worldwide.
The grant is a renewal of an existing IGERT grant, which had funded NYCEP for the past five years. Previously, NYCEP was supported by an NSF Research Training Groups award.
Although the NYCEP consortium has been in place for almost two decades, with continuous support from NSF, the current award will allow a major restructuring and enhancement of the curriculum and research activities of the program.
"NYCEP offers students an integrated educational curriculum in a multidisciplinary and global setting, involving a wide menu of courses and research opportunities," explained Terry Harrison, director of NYU's Center for the Study of Human Origins (CSHO) and chair of NYU's Department of Anthropology, as one of the grant's primary investigators. "Novel aspects of the redesigned program will include a stronger focus on interdisciplinary training and research in conservation science and paleoanthropology, which combines the study of human evolution, archaeology, and earth sciences."
The endeavor will involve new partnerships with Rutgers University, the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and Tübingen University in Germany, and the Richard Gilder Graduate School at the American Museum of Natural History.
"The new programmatic initiatives will expand international opportunities for research, enable students to move more quickly toward the Ph. D. and publish earlier, and introduce novel approaches to recruiting students from underrepresented groups," added Harrison.

I got my new lion machine. Ran the PostgreSQL installer from the PostgreSQL site for Mac and i have no multiple apps installed. One of them is "pgAdmin III.app". When I open it there is already one server connection available. localhost:5432
Whenever I try to connect to the server with a doubleclick the programm asks me for a password. I have no idea what to enter. It's not my admin password, it's not "postgres", it's not "localhost", it's not empty.
I just can't seem to connect to the server. Even when I check the properties of the localhost server the password field seems empty. However I'm not allowed to leave the password field empty.
Any idea what to do? I really need to setup postgres?

The answers (as well as the premise) of this question have me confused. Please point out the error: $$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty}x^{\frac{1}{x}}=\lim_{x\to\infty}e^{\frac{\log x}{x}} $$
By L' Hospital rule $$ \exp\left( \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{\log x}{x}\right) = e^0 =1$$
Three of the answers state an example of the form $x\cdot\frac{c}{x}$, which I can't see how it relates.
Combinatorically, $\infty^0$ is the number of mappings from the empty set into a set of size "infinity". For a finite and positive $n$, $n^0$ would be the number of mappings from the empty set to a set of cardinality $n$ of which the empty function is the only one. Why does this argument fail? What does it mean to say there is an indeterminate number of mappings, say from the empty set to the set of all natural numbers? I am not familiar with formal set theory (yet) and all I know is that there's something peculiar about infinite cardinalities. So a reference would do in this case if the answer requires knowledge of some theory.

Location: Foodborne Toxin Detection and Prevention
Project Number: 2030-42000-039-05
Start Date: Dec 15, 2012
End Date: Feb 28, 2017
Samples will be purchased from sources across the U.S. and transported to WRRC. Tree nuts will be ground using a food processor; dried fruits will be ground using a meat grinder (or similar machine). Ground nuts, ground fruits, and dried spices will be extracted with methanol and subjected to immunoaffinity chromatography to concentrate any ochratoxin from the samples. Ochratoxin in purified extracts will be quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Samples with high levels of ochratoxin will be used to isolate fungi, using standard microbiological methods. Production of ochratoxin by individual fungi will be assessed using HPLC of methanol extracts of fungal material. Genus and species identification of ochratoxin-producing fungi will be determined by DNA sequence analyses of calmodulin and beta-tubulin gene sequences, as well as large-subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequence analysis.

Issued by
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
This Notice serves to remind investigators and institutions that the NIH has the authority to withdraw an application from review and funding consideration for egregious cases in which the Appendix or certain sections of the applications are used to circumvent page limits or include inappropriate material in the application.
NIH's electronic systems enforce page limits for many sections of electronic grant applications upon submission, while NIH staff manually validate page limits for applications still submitted in paper form. Applications that do not comply with the specified page limits either are rejected during electronic submission or withdrawn from consideration.
Some sections of the application do not have strict page limits. Depending on the field of science or types of activities proposed, these sections (for example the Protection of Human Subjects and Vertebrate Animals sections) may vary in length, or not be needed at all. Although they do not have page limits, the application guides and/or instructions in the funding opportunity announcement contain specific instructions and information to let applicants know the materials to include in these sections.
NIH staff and reviewers have been finding applications that include inappropriate material in sections of the application without page limits, or circumvent the page limits by adding unallowable material in the Appendix. In these cases review staff may include an Administrative Note in the summary statements to alert applicants to the problem. NIH expects applicants to heed these notes and submit future applications that comply with the application instructions. NIH may withdraw applications from review and funding consideration for egregious cases in which inappropriate material has been placed in a section or sections of an application without page limits, or in the Appendix.

How would one classify the strata for the standard nilpotent cone for $GL_{k}(\mathbb{C})$, using the definition from Hesselink's paper "Desingularizations of Varieties of Nullforms"? I know that they correspond to partitions / nilpotent orbits etc, but from first principles why aren't two different nilpotent orbits possibly in the same strata - how would you prove that? (preferably using the definition of Hesselink)
I would like to classify the strata for the problem I'm working on, but don't completely understand how to do it for the more basic case (for which the method is probably well-known), I get stuck on the details, so that would be very helpful. Thanks.

General Discussion
Costello syndrome is an extremely rare disorder that affects multiple organ systems of the body. This condition is characterized by growth delays after birth; short stature; extra loose skin on the neck, palms of the hands, fingers, and soles of the feet; noncancerous tumors (papillomata) around the face and anus; developmental delay and intellectual disability; and a characteristic facial appearance. Other physical features may include the development of dry hardened skin on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet (palmoplantar hyperkeratosis), abnormally deep creases on the palms and soles, and/or abnormally flexible joints of the fingers (hyperextensible). There is an increased incidence of congenital abnormalities of the heart and thickening of the heart muscle called a cardiomyopathy. Characteristic craniofacial features may include an abnormally large head (macrocephaly); course facial features; unusually thick lips; and/or abnormally wide nostrils (nares). Affected individuals have an increased lifetime risk to develop specific malignant tumors. Costello syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic condition caused by mutations in the HRAS gene.

Victor Villaseñor
Born in the barrio of Carlsbad, California in 1940, Victor Villaseñor was raised on a ranch four miles north in Oceanside. Since his parents were born in Mexico, Villaseñor spoke only Spanish until beginning school. After years of facing language and cultural barriers, heavy discrimination and a reading problem, later diagnosed as dyslexia, Mr. Villaseñor dropped out of high school his junior year and moved to Mexico. There he discovered a wealth of Mexican art, literature, music, that helped him recapture and understand the dignity and richness of his heritage.
Mr. Villaseñor returned to the U.S. at the age of 20. He began to feel the old frustration and rage return as he witnessed again the disregard toward poor and uneducated people and especially toward the Mexicans. Then a chance encounter with James Joyce's Portrait Of An Artist As A Young Man, changed his life. It awakened a desire to confront through literature the problems associated with his cultural heritage that continued to plague him.
After producing nine novels, 65 short stories, and receiving 265 rejections Villaseñor sold his first novel, Macho!, which the Los Angeles Times compared to the best of Steinbeck. This began a journey that would eventually lead to the publication of the national bestseller, Rain of Gold. Published in seven languages and used by thousands of teachers and school systems across the nation as required reading, Rain of Gold tells the story of Mr. Villaseñor's family, taking the reader from war-torn Mexico during the Revolution to the present day.
Mr. Villaseñor's body of works include a number of nonfiction books which are all used in schools throughout the country: The trilogy Wild Steps Of Heaven, Rain of Gold, and Thirteen Senses, Jury: The People vs Juan Corona, Macho!, and Walking Stars, a collection of short stories written especially to inspire young people. Burro Genius, the first book of the second trilogy, released July 2004, is a national bestseller, and a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Mr. Villaseñor also wrote the screenplay for The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez, starring Edward James Olmos. Mr. Villaseñor's acclaimed written works, as well as his inspiring lectures, have earned him numerous awards and endorsements, including the Founding John Steinbeck Chair appointment.
A gifted and accomplished speaker, Mr. Villaseñor Villaseñor, in his candid and heartfelt manner, brings a fresh perspective to a number of universal themes, including pride in heritage, the strength of family, world peace, the power of the written word, and dedication to education and personal achievement.
Mr. Villaseñor's commitment to world peace and harmony is demonstrated through "Snow Goose Global Thanksgiving", his non-profit organization established to promote peace throughout the world. His self-published book, Snow Goose Global Thanksgiving, describes a simple philosophy toward that eventuality.
Victor Villaseñor continues to live on the ranch where he was raised.

Women's Golf Ninth after First Round of Food Lion SAC ChampionshipApril 13, 2014
SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. – Paced by sophomore Garyt Hamilton's 17-over-par 89, the Anderson University women's golf team is in ninth place after first-round action on Sunday at the three-day 2014 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Championship, hosted at the 5,816-yard, par-72 Sevierville Golf Club in Sevierville, Tenn.
Wingate (325) leads the 11-team field by five strokes over league-newcomer Coker (330), while Tusculum (334) trails the Cobras by four shots. Carson-Newman is fourth following an opening-round 339, with Newberry (340) and Catawba (340) just behind in fifth. Queens (341) is one shot further back, with LMU (349) in eighth and Anderson (369) in ninth. Mars Hill (374) and Lenoir-Rhyne (379) are 10th and 11th, respectively.
Wingate's Johanna Neumann and Coker's Taylor Dembry are tied atop the individual leaderboard after each fired an opening-round 5-over-par 77 and lead a trio of golfers - LMU's Sydney Gallant, Queens' Grace Glaze and Catawba's Madison Kennedy - by three shots.
Hamilton notched a birdie on the par-4 fifth hole and is alone in 35th, while senior Katie Eskew is three shots further back in 39th after carding a first-round 92. Juniors Natalie Feder and Sarah Timms share 48th after an opening- round 94, while sophomore Braiden Furtick notched a 101 to round out the Trojan contingent.
The tourney's second round is slated to get underway at 8:30 a.m. Monday.

I have a function
posix that I use in the Git bash shell on Windows to transform DOS-style paths to normal Unix-style paths. Since DOS-style paths use a backslash as separator, I have to quote the path argument to prevent the backslashes as being used by the shell to denote the next character as a literal. Is there any way to get the uninterpreted argument from inside my function, so that I don't need to quote it?
Here is my function, if it helps:
function posix() {
echo $1 | sed -e 's|\\|/|g' | sed -re 's|^(.)\:|/\L\1|'
(By the way, I welcome any comments with tips for improving the function in other ways unrelated to solving the quoting/shell-interpretation problem.)

I would like to be able to solicit feedback (comments, suggestions, etc) from end users within my mobile business applications. I would expect the feedback to range from "I really love/hate this" to "The whatchmacallit is broken" to "can you please add the following feature(s)?". Does anyone have any real world examples or design patterns that they feel work well for this?
Assuming you are discussing feedback about the quality of your application (and you were vague, so this is in doubt), then you need to have hierarchal feedback. That means that a user should be able to give two-click feedback (Thumbs up/down, Submit), three-click feedback (THumbs up, Select stock response from list, Submit), and written feedback (Thumbs up, Select response, add comments, submit). They need to be able to be done at any step and still have given you a useful response that you can use. If you force them to provide complete feedback with a written response every time you will find you get very little feedback at all. If you prevent them from providing a written response when they have a complex issue you've also inconvenienced them and reduced the quality of your responses.
Also valuable is opt-in automated metrics. What features of the application did they use the most? How often do they open the app? What task is most likely to cause them to leave the app? This type of automated feedback can be very valuable, but make sure it is opt-in to avoid privacy concerns.

Lawmakers should consider facts in writing gun laws
As Connecticut legislators decide what laws to enact to avoid another Newtown disaster, they should keep in mind some relevant facts regarding gun violence.
Here are six, drawn from published studies by John Lott (of Yale) and William Landes (of the University of Chicago), who have studied gun violence in the United States for the past 30 years.

I have an interview coming up soon for a Business Analyst position and the recruiter mentioned some feedback from a prior candidate that was interviewed who said the interviewers asked him what the difference between a Windows and Linux development environment was. Are there some high level things I need to be aware of from a business point of view when working with a development team or designing an application on Windows vs Linux?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Most of the differences between Windows and Linux should be transparent to you as a business analyst. The major things you should keep in mind are compatibility issues with products someone might have heard of at some conference or something and they want it added to your app. Also look and feel issues can crop up, you can generally tell when Linux things get ported to Windows and vice versa. Otherwise the differences are largely technical and should be able to be handled by the development team.
The last thing to keep in mind is that Linux and Windows people behave differently and have different thought processes, looking to Microsoft first for solutions vs looking for open source solutions and customizing from there.
Usually the software stack for Linux is Open Source, made of LGPL/GPL licenses. You may want to read up on them to see if there's any implications in it for you. The discussion of open source is long, tedious, and out of scope for this question so I won't go into it. In Windows environments, open source plays a much smaller role and Microsoft's is the go-to solution for many things, providing a complete stack for pretty much all kinds of development.
The development environment itself is fairly different (in terms of IDEs, tools, how things work), and a lot of the developers have strong preferences in terms which environment they like to work with. People have been known to be deeply religious about this sort of stuff, but if you're talking about things like web applications then similar results can be achieved with either.
From a business perspective you typically want to go with whatever your team is most familiar with.
I know that Business Analyst can be a fairly overloaded term, and you haven't specified exactly what the position you are applying for entails. Perhaps it is more on the technical side (in my current place of work BAs write Python scripts and know more about database schemas/relationships then devs). If this is the case then you might have to know about Linux (UNIX) in general, and I suggest downloading a distro (Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Fedora) and poking around as well as doing some reading.
Short Answer: Difference is in ecosystems they represent and client base that each refer.
I am pretty sure you have information about Windows and may be about its development world, that is mostly windows operating system with .NET framework and iconic products like MS office, outlook, etc. This world mainly tight to licencing.
While Linux (Unix )world is complete opposite to licencing with many open-source products like Open Office, Java, etc. Thus, Unix world developers always religiously oppose the Microsoft world (windows) as a corporate greed, where each product should be paid first.
However, there were drastic changes in Microsoft software development approach in terms of going open-source. Thanks to GitHub and similar software project hosting websites and community of developers that use and contribute to it. For example, ASP.NET MVC is an open source framework, NuGet packages are free as well.
Thus, main difference is in ecosystem that they do represent. However, in web development world these differences are insignificant.
From business analyst perspective it is more about the "client base" that each ecosystem serves.

Have you checked out the latest issue of Twist Collective? It's got a lot of great designs, including a gorgeous oversized pullover, Crosstrail, designed by Norah. Let's take a closer look at the sweater (all photos by Carrie Bostick Hoge).
It's worked in Lodge, Berroco's new self-striping wool blend, which is perfect for accentuating the bias-knit panels that make up the body of the sweater. A deep V-neck and drop shoulders add to the cool, slouchy silhouette.
It has a casual, laid-back feel that makes it a perfect layering choice for a relaxing fall weekend…
Ludmilla #
That sweater would look a lot better on someone who wasn't a size Minus Zero. It's too big on the model and unappealing. If it's meant to look like that, it's definitely unappealing. (The model is lovely, but the sweater does her a disservice.)August 28, 2012
Pat #
I agree with Ludmilla, except I don't think that sweater would look good on any body type. It accentuates the stomach and hips in a most unattractive way.August 29, 2012
Susan Mc #
Guess this is "different strokes for different folks" day….love the oversized sweater…I think the way the striping worked out does put an emphasis on the hips, and I would prefer it in a solid, but the sweater itself is great, and I'm going to get the pattern.August 30, 2012

Top 10 Tips for Paying for College

On-Campus Job
On-campus jobs are usually very easy to come by, and can take a big chunk out of tuition fees. Just make sure that your child doesn't get too busy with work and is still able to take his classes seriously.
Another option is to work full-time during the day and take part-time classes at night. Although it will take your child a little longer to earn his degree, he may be able to pay for classes as he goes along, preventing him from having to borrow and get into debt.

Do you know any results or articles about change money? Something like the statistics of different value notes in a cash box. Or answers to questions which distribution of notes values is best for starting a day in a shop. I mean obviously you need more small value notes than large ones. After one day of selling you probably have more large notes as they don't go away easily.
Regarding the comment (since I have insufficient reputation to comment), "change money" is the cash kept in a drawer at the start of business in a shop. You will want to have some money on hand, so that if someone comes in with, say, a \$20 bill, you can give them appropriate change for a \$17 purchase.
To answer the question, you can fairly easily derive appropriate statistics. Without loss of generality, assume that all transactions are whole-dollar transactions.
First, you need to know what the available denominations are. Then, you must estimate the different "tender" amounts -- i.e. the cash a customer gives you before you give them change. You don't need to estimate the distribution of their denominations: \$45 given for a \$41 purchase is identical whether it is given as 2 \$20s and 1 \$5, or 4 \$10s and 1 \$5.
For a reasonable range of these values, estimate what your returned change would be for purchase values up to that amount minus \$1.
For example:
If the customer gives you \$20, for the following purchases you need the following bills:
\$1 purchase: 1 \$10, 1 \$5, 4 \$1
\$2 purchase: 1 \$10, 1 \$5, 3 \$1 ...
Some patterns will obviously repeat here.
Because it is straightforward to compute this (this is just doing mixed-base arithmetic), the only interesting part comes from estimating the histogram of the purchase amount. This will vary based on your business; a cafe will have different values than a bookstore, for instance.
Therefore, you have one random variable, the purchase amount, which can be easily associate with different change amounts for different "tender" values. The "tender" value is not really a random variable, because the customer almost always gives the smallest denomination that fits a purchase.
Alternatively, you could consider the delta -- the value in change -- as the random variable, which will have a deterministic "change value" associated with it. Again, this is just converting some random number with mixed-base arithmetic.
Coin production figures by the US Mint are available here. I presume coin figures in circulation and in change trays would be in similar proportions. No doubt figures for bills and for other countries are also available to those willing to type a few cleverly chosen words into the web.
