As part of the Pavlova 2012 celebrations, last week I attended the book launch of "ANNA PAVL0VA TWENTIETH CENTURY BALLERINA" written by Jane Pritchard (Curator of Dance at the Victoria & Albert Museum) with Caroline Hamilton and last night I was in the Linbury Studio Theatre part of the Royal Opera House complex to witness a performance of "An Intimate Evening with Anna Pavlova."
The book launch took place on the roof of Selfridge's historic store on London's Oxford Street on a dullish day brightened by the presence of former Royal Ballet ballerina Lady Anya Sainsbury who gave the keynote speech.
The royalties from the book are going towards the student bursary programme at The Royal Ballet School and the chosen recipients were present.
It was a champagne and canapé event with dancers and former dancers in attendance plus the great and the good who have supported Pavlova 2012.
The book is a spectacular photographic essay with previously unpublished photographs, supported by a highly informative well written and researched text.
"An Intimate Evening with Anna Pavlova" had Anthony Dowell as narrator who expressively read the story of Pavlova's life in his usual voice, with a Russian accent and he slipped into "cockney" at one stage. All the time subtley acting as events in Pavlova's life were shown with Ursula Hageli playing Anna Pavlova using the dancers recorded words with extracts from Pavlova's repertoire being performed.
The dance repertoire was:
An evocation of the Spanish dance from, "The Fairy Doll" by Ursula Hageli
"Foyer de danse" Frederick Ashton reconstructed by Christopher Newton and Ursula Hageli - excerpt
"Bacchanale" Choreographed by Liam Scarlett
"Gavotte Pavlova" – an evocation by Ursula Hageli
"The Fairy Doll" - excerpt After Ivan Clustine
"The Fairy Doll" after Pavlova
"La Nuit" after Pavlova
"Autumn Leaves" by Liam Scarlett
and a sprightly exhibition of, "The Fred Step" performed by Ursula Hageli and Anthony Dowell which brought the house down through the wave of nostalgia at seeing Dowell dance 18 years after he retired from dancing.

The absolute highlights of this event for me was an interview with Dame Monica Mason who gave an in depth memory of her dancing life from her child hood to the latter parts of her career with such candour and a depth of the meaning, that it became an extraordinary and revealing experience of this woman who has been a pillar of the Royall Ballet over a long period of time.
There was an audible intake of breath when a member of the audience asked her about the departure of Sergei Polunin and his reasons for leaving the Royal Ballet.
In a measured, caring and frank manner, Dame Monica I believe gave and extraordinary open and honest retelling of the day that Mr. Polunin walked out of the studio where Sir Anthony Dowell was rehearsing/teaching and into her office to coldly tell her that he was leaving the company here and now.
Dame Monica then gave a background to Mr. Polunin life and studies and said that she felt,"… he had always remained an outsider…" and went on to describe how she had spoken to him in what was obviously, a most extraordinary situation.
The gravity of the occasion that Dame Monica retold was both sad and riveting as it was clear throughout her interview, that her recollection of events from her childhood to the present day was of the quality that enables dancers to precisely remember complex ballet roles.
To say that she distinguished herself in various and very open manner is to say the least. Her tribute to Winifred Edwards (Vera Fredova of Anna Pavlova's company) was telling in the manner how she described this elderly former dancer's abilities to sort out problems in technique and focus.
Tamara Rojo also gave a most interesting interview in which she was confidently expressive and quite obviously has a significant intellectual approach to her work and her forth coming directorship the English National Ballet. The talk was topped after a short interval by her performance of three of Sir Frederick Ashton's, "Brahms Waltzes in the manner of Isadora Duncan."
Clement Crisp I understand gave an in depth lecture on Anna Pavlova and Phillip Gammon gave a wonderful recital of Chopin's music as used in Ashton's, "A Month in the Country."
Anita Young former Royal Ballet dancer and teacher at the Royal Ballet School gave an interesting demonstration of the Cecchetti method with two extraordinary students of the Royal Ballet School who look at this time, as being potential star performers of the future.
Anita Young bemoaned the disappearance of the rounded port de bras of Cecchetti in favour of the more elongated Russian style, capping the demonstration with a lively and expressive talk on her experience at the Royal Ballet then and now.
Throughout June to August an exhibition devoted to Anna Pavlova and the centenary of her living in Ivy House and The absolute highlight for me of this celebration of Anna Pavlova staged by the London Jewish Cultural Centre, current owners of Ivy House, has been the collaboration with the Royal Ballet and the Royal Opera House with the involved support of Lady Sainsbury (former RB ballerina Anya Linden) who with Anthony Dowell and Ursula Hageli created the programme.
On Sunday the 17th of June at the Linbury Theatre in the Royal Opera House was given what turned out to be an absolutely triumphant evening called, "An Intimate Evening with Anna Pavlova" in which Anthony Dowell was the marvellously on stage narrator with or without a Russian and cockney accent and supported by an extraordinary acting performance by Royal Ballet's Ballet Mistress Ursula Hageli, as Anna Pavlova.
Hageli (a former dancer with a strong expressive and integrated technique) had meticulously re-created (and invented in the style of) dances from Pavlova's repertoire.
Most surprising was Liam Scarlett's reconstruction of Pavlova's original ballet "Autumn Leaves" which gave this young choreographer a triumphant success with Valentino Zucchetti as The North Wind recreating every photograph and description of the original Pavlova production, in a most vivid manner.
To cap it all Sir Anthony and Ursula Hageli gave a highly expressive performance of the now legendary, "Fred step."
Nostalgia abounded with seeing Sir Anthony dancing again of the Opera House stage and it brought the house down.
In what was a complete moving feast written by Caroline Hamilton, directed by the distinguished opera producer John Copley directed with his careful eye, pulling the whole evening into a complete memorable event and designed by Steven Gregory
Nostalgia coupled with excellence, together with extraordinary support from donors made it a fabulous and undoubtedly an evening that will be recalled by many for years to come.
Such a unique one of event could not have been pulled of in England without the support of sponsorship which came from, Selfridges, The Blavatnik Family Foundation, The Linbury Trust & Rothschild.
Proceeds from the performance will go to the upkeep of Ivy House and a donation to The Bursary Fund of The Royal Ballet School.
Parallel to these Pavlova celebrations, has been the publication of the visually stunning and thoroughly researched "Anna Pavlova: Twentieth-Century Ballerina" By Jane Pritchard with Caroline Hamilton including for the first time, a full chronology of Pavlova's performances that went the length and breadth of Great Britain.
Royalties from the sale of the book will go towards the student scholarship and bursary programme at The Royal Ballet School, London.
The publication was made possible with the generous support of: Elena Heinz, The Linbury Trust, The Monument Trust, The Rothschild Foundation and Trusthouse Charitable Foundation.[/size][/font]

I'm a bit new to ESRI and GIS so forgive me if this is a simple question.
Looking at this example ESRI Javascript sample (source code is here) I see you can click on a shape (via a published shape file) and if the point upon which you click is within a shape an action fires.
Is it possible to send a lat/long via some mechanism and IF that lat/long is within the shape the same (or similar) action fires?
Can I see if a lat/long is contained within ANY polygon that is contained in a published shapefile.
If my understanding of the ESRI javascript API is correct the point that the mouse is clicked does translate to a lat/long location.

For my algorithms class, the professor has this question as extra credit:
The Phicitlius Bauber bird is believed to never sing the same song twice.
Its songs are always 10 seconds in length and consist of a series of notes that are either high or low pitched and are either 1 or 2 seconds long.
How many different songs can the Bauber bird sing?
This strikes me as a combinatorial problem, but I'm having trouble figuring out the exact formula to use to fit the included variables of 10 seconds length, 2 notes and 2 note periods.
At first, I thought that $\binom{10}{2}*\binom{10}{2}$ can be a solution, since it fits finding all combinations of both and multiplies the total.
My issue is this results in a total of 2025 possible songs, and this just seems a little on the low side.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Pretty specific, I know. But what's the difference? Are there different connotations?

Both are usually translated in English as "owls". They are subcategories of the strigidae family (birds of prey), set apart based on their appearance. Both encompass many species and even genera. It is actually fairly easy to see the difference between the two.
A "hibou" is what most people will translate "owl" as. A lot of people will also usually call a "chouette" a "hibou", sometimes thinking the former is the female of the latter. It is not the case.
Taken from the French Wikipedia entry on "chouette": "La chouette se distingue du hibou par l'absence d'aigrettes sur la tête".
So "hiboux" are the ones which have egrets on their heads, such as this:
And "chouettes" are the ones that don't, like this:
On a side note, "chouette" is also often used as an interjection or an adjective, to express feelings of awesomeness, joy, or overall approval.
It can also be used (mostly in Quebec) as a term of endearment for a girl or woman, be it girlfriend/wife, daughter or friend.

I am curious as to why many art museums disallow photographing a painting. Some museums will allow photography if you pay them, but there are still some paintings that are absolutely prohibited to be photographed. I know it doesn't apply to all museum, but most of them prohibit it.
Because they can. That is perhaps the only true answer to your question.
As to why they would want to, just follow the money:
And of course there is always that other reason for why many things are done the way they are: "Because we've always done it that way."
The actual reason vary from place to place but I guess common reasons are:
One key reason is that the museum may not own the piece, and therefore, only have the right to exhibit the piece. They can not transfer the right to reproduce or allow a piece to be reproduced, because that would cause them legal issues. This is especially true in museums that are exhibiting pieces that are not part of their collection.
As others have said, flash photography can cause premature aging of ancient works, and since most camera users have no idea how to stop their camera from flashing, it is simply easier to prohibit all cameras, rather than police stupid visitors.
Almost all museums don't allow flash photography because flashes will may cause damage to the work over time if UV is not properly filtered.
As far as non-flash photography, a great many museums are totally fine with it, including many of the best. The Louvre in Paris and the Smithsonian in DC both allow photography of anything in their exhibits. Those that are not do so for purely financial reasons. They own the copy of the work and want to control distribution of its image to help recover the cost of obtaining the work and to contribute to their on going work.

let $G$ be a group such that $Aut(G)$ is abelian. is then $G$ abelian?
this is a sort of generalization of the well-known exercise, that $G$ is abelian when $Aut(G)$ is cyclic. but I have no idea. at least, the finitely generated abelian groups $G$ such that $Aut(G)$ is abelian can be classified.

Now that recreational marijuana use is legal for adults, city leaders have been busy laying the groundwork for how commercial operations could work.
Members of the city council are proposing a string of zoning ordinance changes, and the council took public comment on their ideas at a Wednesday meeting.
One of the ideas is to cap grow operations at 10,000 square feet, but that plan drew criticism at Wednesday's meeting.
"They need to allow for more than 10,000 square feet or people will just go do the projects outside of Seattle. And we would be saying goodbye to hundreds of jobs and all the tax revenue that comes with that," said marijuana lobbyist Phillip Dawdy.
State law under initiative 502 sets up a 1,000 foot buffer zone to keep pot stores away from schools, parks, daycare centers, residential neighborhoods and libraries.
Council members also want to keep the city's historic districts off limits to the pot industry.
One pot proponent said instead of rewriting zoning laws, city leaders should be reaching out to the federal government, which still considers marijuana illegal.
"Informing them that Seattle citizens are tired of these ridiculous laws, and as a city council, you don't want to see legal businesses within the city of Seattle to be underneath threat by the federal government," said Jared Smith from the Responsible Marijuana Project.
No decisions were made on Wednesday, but the council has scheduled another hearing for May 8. At that point, a committee vote could take place.

Asian Markets Mark Strong Month
Asian markets generally declined Thursday, marking a downbeat end to a very strong January.
Two large markets that came back to life in the final quarter of 2012, Japan and mainland China, posted substantial gains in January. The Nikkei rose 7.2%, its sixth consecutive monthly gain, as sustained yen weakness continued to support local stocks, while the Shanghai Composite added 5.1% to reach its highest close in eight months as Chinese economic data continued to point toward a recovery in Asia's largest economy.
In addition, Australia's S&P ASX 200 climbed 4.9% over the month to 4878.80, even as the day's 0.4% loss snapped a 10-session winning streak.
"The pledge to stabilize things in Japan and the U.S. continuing with quantitative easing [is] more than enough for our market here to do very well," said Stan Shamu, market strategist at IG Markets in Melbourne, adding that a pickup in iron-ore prices also helped local miners.
The growth story for markets in Southeast Asia remained compelling, and combined with strong sentiment, led stocks on these smaller exchanges to post the mnth's biggest gains.
Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh Index soared 16%, while the Philippines' PSE Index gained 7.4% and Thailand's SET advanced 5.9%.
Earnings reports continued to influence Asian markets on Thursday.
In Tokyo, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group SMFG 7.98 % climbed 5.2% after earnings topped expectations. The financial firm posting a 34% on-year increase in consolidated net profit for the April-December period.
In Hong Kong, Lenovo Group, LNVGY -1.11 % the world's largest maker of personal computers, fell 2.8% despite releasing above-view third-quarter results due to continued sales growth.
Earnings weren't all positive, however, as videogame company Nintendo skidded 5.1% in Tokyo after posting weak third-quarter results and cutting its outlook.
More broadly, some of the biggest economic cues came from the U.S., where advance fourth-quarter gross-domestic-product figures released Wednesday provided the main surprise. Gross domestic product for the world's largest economy declined by 0.1% in the fourth quarter, falling short of expectations for a 1.0% increase.
Also in the U.S., the Federal Reserve concluded its most recent policy meeting, keeping rates unchanged and reaffirming its commitment to open-ended bond purchases.
In Asia, data showed Japan's industrial output rose 2.5% on-month in December, below expectations for a 4.0% rise. However, the data was strong enough for the government to raise its assessment, saying that output is showing signs of coming out of last fall's declines.
The Nikkei ended up 0.2% at 11138.66, its highest close since April 27, 2010, as Sumitomo Mitsui's strong results sparked interest in financial stocks. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group gained 3.6% and Mizuho Financial Group MFG 7.05 % added 2.8%.
In China, stocks were mixed ahead of country's official manufacturing data on Friday. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index lost 0.4% at 23729.53, while the Shanghai Composite edged up 0.1% at 2385.42.
Chinese oil company Cnooc fell 2.3%, pulled down by a combination of a soft output target and a higher plan for capital expenditure.
South Korea's Kospi eased 0.1% to 1961.94, while India's Sensex fell 0.5% to 19894.98.

Stillness Shattered
NEWTOWN, Conn.—They came here, or they stayed, for what was quiet about Newtown: the rolling hills bisected by the highway east of Danbury, the good schools, the sense of the countryside so close to good jobs and the cities.

But stillness has shattered before, in Columbine, Colo., and West Paducah, Ky., and it shattered on Friday in Newtown, Conn., the new home of one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history.
"This is the perfect New England town," said Leigh Libero, who arrived at Sandy Hook Elementary School, situated in the Newtown village of Sandy Hook, around 10 a.m. with her daughter, fresh from a dentist appointment to find police barriers, frantic parents and chaos. "We're kind of in the middle of the woods. You wouldn't think of this."
Photos: Shock, Tragedy at Connecticut School
By evening, the quaint New England town was convulsed with grief. Christmas decorations still hung in windows, but the sign in front of a liquor store on Church Hill Road said simply: "Say A Prayer."
"This is most definitely the worst thing we've experienced in town," Newtown Police Lt. George Sinko said late Friday, as officials worked to identify some of the 27 fatal victims, 20 of them children.
Newtown sits within commuting reach of job centers in Danbury and Hartford, and Stamford, Norwalk and Bridgeport to the south, a shield-shaped wedge packed with state parks, a forest and a scenic reserve adjoining the lake at the head of the Housatonic River. Now home to 27,000, the town was founded, like its neighbors, amid farmland in the 18th century.
On Main Street, the Edmond Town Hall sits on the National Register of Historic Places and shows $2 second-run movies.
The town might be best known before this week as the first place the board game Scrabble was manufactured. Its most notorious crime, a domestic murder in the 1980s, known in Connecticut as "the wood chipper case" for the way the killer disposed of his victim.
Friday's sudden spasm of unimaginable violence wrought confusion. Ms. Libero huddled with her children, 7 and 3 years old, while her husband relayed the day's ever-shifting messages, especially those who wondered if the stranger had simply arrived from some other place. Of that notion, she said, "I don't know if that's comforting or not."
Joe Wasik, a 42-year-old electrician and longtime resident of the town, was relieved to find his young daughter shaken but safe, but said he and his wife struggled with how to talk to her about what had happened, and how to feel about trying to return to school life, and normalcy.
"It's basically like a little Vermont," Mr. Wasik said of the town where he has lived most of his life. "You have general stores, you see your friends and neighbors in town. You just never thought anything like this would happen here."
Mr. Wasik said he could remember only a single killing in the past 10 years in town, and that was the result of a robbery.
As he spoke, Mr. Wasik's daughter was with his wife, while he remained at the firehouse just down the driveway from Sandy Hook Elementary. He had spent the afternoon waiting with a close friend whose child, a first-grader, was among those missing in the aftermath of the shooting.
The friend had been escorted out a back door, Mr. Wasik said, and they assumed the worst.
"If he didn't want to talk, I'm not talking," Mr. Wasik said.
Mourners and well-wishers flocked toward the firehouse near the school in the evening. Robert Morehouse, 58, of Southbury, had walked five miles to reach Newtown, with memorial candles in his backpack.
Standing near his home nearby, John Thompson, 36, tried to imagine how this town would change, as others have in the wake of sudden violence.
"Middle schools and high schools usually have metal detectors but I don't see that in many elementary schools," he said. "Just because they're younger there doesn't mean this might not happen."

How do you pronounce #winning aloud? Would it be hashtag winning, hash winning, pound winning, winning or something else? This goes for all hashtags.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

According to this YouTube video, a hash tag is pronounced "hashtag tagname". Another video agrees that you say "hashtag" followed by the name of the tag.
So #winning is "hashtag winning". To me, this makes sense because if you are saying it out loud people may not know you are referring to Twitter. Saying simply "hash [tag]" could be miscontrued because "hash" has more than one meaning.
I have always heard Twitter hash-tags spoken as "hash [tag]". My source being personal experience in British English.
Americans often call the '#' symbol the pound symbol in my experience, so this may well be valid too. Saying "hashtag [tag]" is often redundant and overly-verbose. That's my view at least.
Depending on the context, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it isn't typically meant to be pronounced, unless you have some good reason to draw attention to the fact that this particular term can be searched for.
It is pretty common in a tweet to just mix hashtags into a sentence like normal words, but with the meta-data (mostly useful for tools) that it can be searched on to find related things.
However, in conversation we don't have computerized search tools available (unless you work at the NSA), so there's no point in including the metadata. You should probably expand any abbreviations though, so the poor slob you are talking to has some idea what you are talking about.
For example, this tweet:

Liberal Guilt Justified: 6 Creepy Mail Order Bride Websites
No matter how you feel about globalization or free trade, something seems a bit off about importing people. Maybe it's the whole slavery thing or the West's history of colonization. Here are a few websites that might pique your interest, and in turn, rack your soul with guilt.
#6. KievConnections.com
These ladies from Kiev, Ukraine are seeking eligible bachelors for meaningful relationships (i.e. visa sponsorships). Like many international bride sites, Kiev Connections allows you to either make contact through a translated letter and/or by sending gifts, including flowers, chocolates and teddy bears. All of which will be burnt for heat during the winter.
Sample Profiles:
This is Natasha. She's an accountant, but likes to spend her spare time practicing the art of undoing her pants without breaking overly intense eye contact with you. Also, she has the head-to-body ratio of a bobble head doll.
Here is Tatyana posing next to the tree she hides behind during Cossack raids.
True Love Testimonial:
"I am the luckiest man in the world. I have a wife who unquestionabl[y] loves me. She is the most wonderful lady I have ever known and I am proud to call her my wife. We are also VERY much in love and every minute of every day is spent together."
This comes from Brett, who also happens to be the proprietor of Kiev Connections. He's an American that had bad experiences with other mail-order bride sites before meeting his wife and getting his own pimp on. In other words, he's not just the president of the Former Soviet Harem Club for Men, he's also a client.
From the FAQ:
"Aren't there any decent men in Ukraine?"
"Unfortunately, it is very difficult for a Ukrainian man to provide for his family. There are few well-paying jobs in the Ukraine. How can the men here take pride in themselves if they can not provide for their family[?] The result[:] Ukrainian men bend to peer pressure and drink and drink."
Of the many, many things that cause men of the Ukraine to drink--things like, say, their wife leaving them for a pock-marked IT guy from Kansas City--they go with "peer pressure." Apparently, this devastated nation is just a few Saved by the Bell-message-episodes away from getting back on the right track.
Chances of Finding Everlasting Love:
A perusal of the profiles reveals that many of these women don't speak English and are attracted to qualities like "independence," "self-sufficiency" and "financial loaded-ness." If you're rich and don't mind spending months to years in an uncomfortable silence, and are not totally devastated by the stiflingly depressing idea of buying a poor man's wife away from him, by all means give it a go.
#5. AsianBridesOnline.com
This introduction and tour service claims to represent over 20,000 beautiful women that have the potential to bear children who are good at math. It's boasted that members can meet between 500 to 2,000 of these ladies while on one of their tours, meaning there's a good chance your special someone has already been passed over by numerous other clients.
Sample Profiles:
Hailing from Shenzhen, China is Ximei. She can shot-put the hell out of pretty much any kind of fruit, if you're into that sort of thing.
True Love Testimonial:
"It was refreshing to meet women who are actually looking for real love, not just a penis with a wallet. And the best thing is they are much more beautiful and younger than the women I meet in America. I only wish I had discovered this 20 years ago." --Robert L 2006
Robert is pretty up front about who he is: an old man who uses Asia like it's MySpace. By saying he wished he discovered this 20 years ago, Robert really means he would've liked to erase two decades of unconvincing penis and wallet-touting pick-up lines.
From the FAQ:
"Do they use the metric system?"
"Yes. The metric system is in use."
Matchmaking should be facilitated, but perhaps the site should examine whether those who ask this common inquiry should be allowed procreate or, at the very least, represent the United States overseas.
Chances of Finding Everlasting Love:
Testimonials remark about the number of beautiful women met, but few describe meeting a more permanent mate. With tour packages running from $3,000 to $7,500, it sounds a bit pricey for a surrogate spring break.
On the other hand, they do offer a fiancée visa tutorial if you want to take one home with you. And remember guys, the tutorial specifically recommends you refrain from using the term "concubine" when describing your situation to immigration officials.
#4. South of the Border Introductions (SOTB.com)
This site offers thousands of profiles of Latinas looking for long-term partners in the US, and does its best to remove any guilt by mentioning that many of the women are English-speaking professionals who already have visas. These corporate types often show up in profiles wearing bikinis and flaunting heaving tanned cleavage. Apparently, office dress codes are not nearly as stringent in Latin America.
Sample Profiles:
This is Kelly from Columbia in SOTB's models section. She is looking for a generous man to pay 25 bucks to send her email she will never return.
Here we have Vilma from Brazil. She is 5'2", Catholic and on loan from a Godard film.
True Love Testimonial:
"I will be leaving for Peru in May as a result of the Personal Ad you placed for me in South America. Thanks!!! This may be the one. What I would like to know is how do I get her to Texas?" D.B. - Texas
This testimony was particularly attention-grabbing due to D.B.'s question. Hopefully, SOTB responded by telling him, "Invite her." Other options for getting Peruvian women to Texas, including "by coercion" or "by llama," seem troublesome and possibly illegal.
From the FAQ:
"Are these members looking to escape economic conditions in their country?"
"No. Many of these members are very well educated, have good jobs or careers and some even own their own businesses. They also have extremely close family ties, which is a strong part of the Latin culture."
Gotcha. As long as it's not for financial reasons, it's all good that they're leaving their culture, businesses and family to go marry some random American that thought they looked hot in a two-piece.
Chances of Finding Everlasting Love:
Going "South of the Border" is usually associated with blinding intoxication and encounters with low-cost prostitutes in Tijuana. In this case, it's something entirely different. There's implicitly no booze and the women involved are possible mates rather than prostitutes. That being said, we'd like to remind interested parties that the original meaning can usually be handled with simple antibiotics.

For example, if the entropy of a password is 30 bits, what is the entropy of the password when you hash it with MD5?
Still 30 bits.
A hash function does not add entropy. It could change the entropy rate though. For example if you had 30 bits of entropy in a 64 bit password and hashed it to a 128 bit digest, the rate has gone down ($\frac{30}{64}\approx 0.47$, but $\frac{30}{128}\approx 0.23$). On the other hand, if the password is 500 bits, the entropy rate goes up.
One way to see this would be to look at all the possible values that the password could be. That would be $2^{30}$ since any other character (or bits) are assumed to be known to the attacker (otherwise they would add entropy, right?). Those $2^{30}$ values would be fed into the hash function and result in $2^{30}$ different digests. So there are the same number of passwords as digests. No added entropy.

Bone Tunnels: A Haunting -
This RPG is horror-themed. There was a spot in the list, so I took my chance, and here it is. Miranda, if this is going against any rules, then please just let me know. I highly doubt my first attempt at creating an RPG will end up perfect. :]
Present day Paris, France. A group of spelunkers have been brought together, for one purpose. To find the so called 'Haunted Tunnels', in a great branch of underground catacombs under present-day Paris. Their entrance into the tunnels is both, dangerous, and illegal. The Catacomb Police are about at any corner, ready to run towards any suspicious activity; so the question is, how did their small group find the Haunted Tunnels, and the police not find them? However way they did, are all regretful memories now. Some type of invisible being has trapped the amateur spelunkers in a mass bone yard. Every turn they take, is taking them deeper and deeper into a twisting labrynth of danger. The biggest risk they are taking, is their own lives, because whomever is in there, doesn't want them leaving... alive.
The group must figure out a way out, without being pushed back farther and farther into the dark twisting walls. Above ground, the Parisian citizens have no idea what the adventurers have unleashed below. The catacomb explorers must get out in time, but still keep the thing in.
If you would like to learn about the Parisian Catacombs [which is certainly needed] then just use this link. :]
Catacombs of Paris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Character Form:
Age [18-24 please]:
Personality [flaws and all!]:
Reason for wanting to find the haunted tunnels:
Open to whomever knows how to RPG.
No spamming, and no noobs.
Mary Sues/Gary Stues not allowed.
Please, only one character per person.
Also, follow all regular RPG rules.
No joining after fifty pages. PM me after ten pages.
This will have scary/haunted themes, cursing, blood, gore, murder, etc.
And if there are a large amount of girl characters already made, then don't make another one. We need guys.
My Character:
Name: Diana [Dia] Sharpe.
Gender: Female.
Age [18-24 please]: 19.
Personality [flaws and all!]: Dia, lives for the day. She has a taste for adventure, and that is how she lives her life. Stubborn, headstrong, hardly shows her feelings, other than her excessive over-excitment, or short-tempered anger. She has a short wire, and will burst at any annoyance. She is smart, but hardly uses logic. Anything can happen in her mind. Is disgusted with the thought of love, and is proudly asexual. Strong femanist.
Appearance: Short, black curled bob that barely hits her chin. Slightly thick, but not on the verge of overweight. Her ears are heavily pierced, as is parts of her face. Dresses in whatever she wants.
Reason for wanting to find the haunted tunnels: Pure curiosity. And besides, it would make a mean article for her online newspaper. It's a chance of a lifetime she's not going to watch pass by.
Bio/Other: Is visiting France over Summer break, from the college she is currently attending in England. American born, and hates the thought of it. 100% anti-patriotic. Never talks of her past, but only her future.
Dia fingered the newspaper lightly, as she flipped it over to the ads section. She sipped her coffee in deep thought, scanning the ads for dogs and lawn help lightly, but an ad for a spelunkers convention caught her eye. She picked the paper up, and ran out of the coffee shop. The Convention ended that day. She quickly caught the first bus, and headed off to the address of the convention.
Ripping through the parking lot, Dia rushed up and into the sliding glass doors of the convention building, resting only when she reached the ticket stand. She puffed out the word, "One ticket," in bumpy French, payed her sum, and walked up to the first booth that caught her eye. 'Expédition de Tunnels Hantée' was printed onto a large banner that swung above a themed booth of the spooky kind. Dia grinned, "Haunted Tunnels Expedition, eh? Sounds like my kind of stuff."

The 25 Most Ridiculous Band Names in Rock History
Here's a scenario: You start a rock band, which you just happen to name after spending several hours huffing paint and drinking bleach. You spend a few years playing small clubs until you're discovered by a major label and start selling a lot of records. And suddenly you realize that the stupid name you thought up when you were huffing all that paint is going to follow you around for the rest of your life.
Here are the 25 bands who, regardless of their own musical quality, have the stupidest names on record.
These band names aren't as laugh-out-loud idiotic as some of the others we'll get to-in fact, several of our staff admitted that Porno for Pyros was actually a pretty cool name. They're ridiculous in the sense that the more you think about them, the more they make no sense whatsoever.
#25. Porno for Pyros
The story: Former Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell came up with the name while watching coverage of the LA riots on television. Presumably while jacking off.
Why it's ridiculous: Pornography for pyromaniacs is, for all intents and purposes, regular pornography. Sure, there are maybe a few crazy people out there getting sexual pleasure from watching videos of people setting fires-but your garden variety pyromaniac isn't renting College Slut Matches & Gasoline Party VII. He's out burning down the neighborhood Costco. It turns out they just really like burning stuff.
24. Nickelback
The story: Lead singer Chad Kroeger was having trouble coming up with a name, and so approached his brother, who worked at a Starbucks. Coffee was $1.95, which meant every customer who paid two bucks got-waiiiit for it-a nickel back. (It was either that or We're Sorry About the Homeless Man Shooting Up in the Bathroom.)
Why it's ridiculous: Asking cashiers at franchise coffee shops for career advice can only end in tragedy. (Kroeger suffered similar woes after getting a Wal-Mart greeter to do his taxes for him, resulting in the repossession of his house.) If you walk up to the cashier behind a Starbucks counter and, instead of ordering a Tall Sumatran, ask them to name your shitty band, odds are you're going to get something giving-people-change-for-coffee-based.
23. The Alan Parsons Project
The story: Founder Alan Parsons started a "project" with other "project administration personnel" to "drill down" on this whole "music" thing he'd heard so much about. So he named it that.
Why it's ridiculous: It's one thing to just name your band after yourself, like ego cases Dave Matthews and Ben Folds did. But once you've made the choice to be lazy, you're not allowed to get all clever with it afterwards. Besides, it makes the band sound like the sort of after-school activity all the kids who didn't make the basketball team got stuck with. "Today, class, we're going to build Alan Parsons... from common household items!"

Basically, John Elway gave Tim Tebow a pat on the back for getting the Denver Broncos into the playoffs and beating Pittsburgh, and then, with that same hand, shoved No. 15 out the door.
That was, of course, after he used that same hand to welcome Peyton Manning to Denver and the same hand to shake Manning's hand once No. 18 said yes to the Broncos and arrived in the Mile High City.
That same hand was on the phone probably five seconds after Manning said yes to any and all NFL executives to see who were Tebow takers.
Elway listened to fans, read the billboards and started Tebow over a lethargic Kyle Orton.
Tebow is and will always be far from perfect between and outside of the confines of any football stadium, but he energized a city, a team and, with the help of a solid defense, offensive line and ground game, led the Broncos to the AFC West title and the playoffs.
But, really, all of that didn't matter to Elway because when he had his chance to push Tebow out of the door, he didn't push, he shoved.
Of course, if not for Tebow, the D, Oline and running game, Denver finishes about 6-10 and is not in the Manning Sweepstakes.
Of course, the D, Oline, running game and one timely pass, led the Broncos past Pittsburgh in the first round of the playoffs and en eventual date, and loss, at New England.
But, that didn't matter to Elway.
Tebow isn't an Elway guy. Tebow is not the prototypical QB.
He has a lot of work to do and I sure don't think Elway was interested in devoting that much time to a guy whom, he thinks, will never be that type of prototypical QB like he was.
Elway was tired of all the negative press of the fact that Tebow stunk for three quarters but always found a way to win.
As much as pro football organizations say that character counts, it is obvious to me that Tebow's character meant nothing to Elway and all the positives it brought to Denver.
I understand that Manning is a character guy.
His press conferences in Indianapolis and Denver should be mandatory for all NFL rookies.
Character isn't exactly rampant in professional sports and there are far too many examples to list.
But, I will start with guys like Antonio Cromartie, Gregg Williams, Sean Payton, Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, Odell Thurman, JaMarcus Russell and Brandon Marshall.
The list, actually, is quite long.
"He's humble, works his tail off, is quick with a smile and has a larger-than-life personality," Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said in an Associated Press story. "He's just a good person, and he stands for all the right things.
"Religiously, no matter what side you're on, you realize he's a good human being who represents his faith and his family in the right way. He always represented the Gators in the right way, and he's a guy that Gator fans will always love."
The bottom line is that NFL executives talk about character and how it matters to them, but winning football games means a lot more to those same execs than character.
Players continue to get jobs, not because of character, but because of talent.
NFL teams will talk for the next month about character as the draft approaches, but the bottom line will be how that player can influence to team in terms of winning more games.
The bottom line for teams will be how much they want to scrimp on character to bolster their talent.
How much bad character are teams willing to accept to put a bigger number in the wins column and make the playoffs?
I talked a couple of weeks ago about the failure of communities to support the levies for Indian Creek, Edison and JVS.
I was given numbers from the Indian Creek levy and here the numbers, to me, are astounding.
Sixteen of the 26 precincts (62 percent) voted against the levy - three in Steubenville, Cross Creek, Linduff, Salem, Shelley, Mingo A-D, Georges Run, Steuben, Bloomingdale, Belvedere and Wayne.
Ten voted for the levy - Wintersville A-D, Bantam Ridge, Brentwood, Stark, West Park, Two Ridge and Wintringer.
By percentages, according to the numbers I was given, the top five places where it failed were in Shelley (95.45 percent), Mingo D (72.43), Mingo C (68.88), Mingo B (67.43) and Linduff (66.67).
Still feel badly for the kids.
The kids.
Oh yeah, the kids.
If the people who voted against the levy in Edison don't think changes will happen, you are wrong.
When those changes happen, you really cannot complain.
You know, no busing, pay to play being implemented, etc. And, if you really think the state will not come in and take over, please pay close attention to what is going to happen in places like Bellaire, which needs to make big cuts.

Should OK button be on left of Cancel button or vice versa?
Are there any studies suggesting either of the solutions?
As with everything: user test! Thankfully, usability hero Jakob Nielsen jumps to the rescue here in his Alertbox article about OK/Cancel buttons:
Kostya was right on the mark in advising adherence to platform guidelines. But what about web-based platforms?
He also mentions two additional important guidelines you might consider when creating OK/Cancel buttons:
The answer is in user interface guidelines for the system you use.
For Windows
So Cancel is always on the right of OK button.
For MacOS
So for MacOS users Cancel is on the left of OK button.
For Android
For Android, Cancel is on the left of the OK button.
For other systems see guidelines.
Think "reading" metaphor. Westerners read left to right, our brains are conditioned to flow left to right. CANCEL is basically a step backwards (left) and OK/SUBMIT/YES/Etc., are a step forward (right).
Luke Wroblewski wrote a book about web forms (Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks) and he also covered some principles like: "Primary & Secondary Actions" ( http:// www.lukew.com/resources/articles/psactions.asp ), "Top, Right or Left Aligned Form Labels" ( http:// www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?504 ) or "path to completion", etc. (you can read also http://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2006/07/label-placement-in-forms.php)
So, IMO depending on what label placement you have (preferable vertically) and left-to-right + top-down rules, in order to have a good path to completion you should place primary action first (OK) and then secondary ones (++Cancel)
EDIT: Label placement in forms, by Caroline Jarrett, 2010 http://www.formsthatwork.com/files/Articles/labels-on-forms-for-uxlx-2010.pdf
For users whose language is read left to right, I would suggest putting the OK button to the left, since those users would ascribe greater importance to the first thing they see.
This would allow this subset of users to complete their task as quickly as possible.
It seems like Windows OK/ Cancel convention has done a lot of brain conditioning for users. So usability tests would certainly come out with lots of people looking for an OK button on the left, Cancel on the right.
But that doesn't change the most basic instinct of someone who is interacting with the system without any pre-conditioning. My basic instinct says that the OK/ Approval/ Move Forward button, no matter what colour or size you apply to it, needs to be on the right edge of the dialogue box.
Consider this dialogue box, with no labels or colour highlights:
Where would you click? I'd click on the button on the right edge, if I am looking to submit the form. The reason is, that before Windows, I've been conditioned into my instinct in the following ways:
I think the Windows platform has created an anti-pattern with OK/Cancel, that is now so widespread that its validating usability studies. But if you consider the factors above, I believe keeping the primary button on the right is justified and a defensible position.
EDIT: One additional factor to consider is consistency. If you expect additional buttons in your dialogue boxes, the primary button on the right edge would help to stay consistent with placement. A visual example would make this clear:
IMHO it does not matter too much where you will place "OK" button: to left or to right. It does not matter what kind of users visit your site (with hebrew or arabic languages). It does not matter what kind of software they use. The stats tell us that 55% of users want to see "OK" button from the right but if we will put it to the right, then the other 45% of users will be dissatisfied.
The best solution is to emphasize "OK" button (make it more prominent than "Cancel") and all the users will indicate "OK" button easily as more important and primary button.
Google and other companies use this approach in their software.
I think everyone had given good point but there is one more key point to be mention here.
Buttons such as Ok/Submit/Save etc are called positive action buttons. Similarly, buttons such as Cancel/Reset etc are called negative action buttons.
Now to answer the query, most of them has come with some good points but here is another perception that is User Testing of an application usually decide most of the issues. After all any application created are for users only.
There were some eye moment test & heat test were done on users and still being done depending on the labs availability. The best scenario comes up are that most of users start looking at the web application or any other application from Left - to - Right & from top corner and start scrolling toward the bottom picking up key hotspots and generally end toward the left bottom thus it is always good to keep positive action button on left and negative action buttons on right.
Also, not denying the fact that these are research based on few users, it is not necessary that this will always hold well but most of time it will.
There is one more key point here is that there shold be more space between positive & negative action buttons so that users will take little more time to reach to negative buttons and thus will give them ample amount of time to thought and react.
I have tried to explain couples of points are based on my experience and from research papers.
Do comment, so that I can also learn more.
Regards Deepak Bajaj
A lot of applications have been shifting to use different styles for OK vs Cancel buttons. One common UI is to have the OK button but a traditional button whereas the Cancel is a link button. This gives a very clear visual distinction between the two and even though it leads the user to click OK, the visual distinction ends up highlighting the difference and helps the user pick the one they actually want.
I've seen this both in web and desktop applications.
Just to clarify the reasoning:
It's considered "more correct" to place the main button (OK) on the exact corner of the dialog, since it's easier to hit (there have been several past questions/discussions about this).
However, it also depends on what the users are accustomed to - if you're creating a site or application for Windows users, you had better follow Windows standards.
Make sure that "Enter" on the keyboard is correctly associated with the OK - a lot of people will use that too.
You can find an interesting opinion here; Anthony T. suggests that placing the "OK" button to the right of "Cancel" is better:
For ASP.NET web applications, after taking a lot of aspirin for dealing with default button issues (whatever will fire when the Enter key is pressed), I just put my default button on the left so that it is first in the markup.
Different browsers will handle multiple submit buttons differently when the Enter key is pressed (especially when the cursor is inside a text box at the time of Enter press). Some browsers will just use the first button in the markup to submit the form, which may not be what you want (especially if you need to do something on the server-side afterwards).
I'd go with "Ok" on the right. Because of western reading direction that goes from left to right. And "Cancel" wouldn't bring you ahead but "Ok" will.
But a totally different approach. Don't use "Ok" and write on the buttons what they do. For example "Save" or "Don't Save" doesn't require the user to read the description text. Saves time and prevents input errors.
In my apps I'm using visual color for highlighting the action button purpose. Then no matter if it's left or right. I personally prefer to have the "ok" button on the right (because I'm right-handed and/or osx user - and actually this is link..)
Ultimately (especially after reading all the above replies) I see this discussion boil down to platform convention vs. 'objective' usability. What I mean by 'objective' is how usable something would be for users who aren't familiar with any OS convention. More specifically:
OK on the right
OK on the left
It's an unfortunate reality, but poorly designed patterns (such as OK on the left) can become a convention and users will come to expect them. Trying to do something else, even if objectively it's a more usable pattern, will result in poor usability. A classic example is the metric vs. imperial measurement system - the metric system has everything going for it in terms of usability, easy of unit conversion, etc; but if you force small-town Americans to think in meters and centimetres when they're used to inches/feet you'll get poor usability and very frustrated users. I guess the lesson is to work very hard to make sure we never introduce poor conventions in the first place!
Personally when designing for the web I choose to put the OK button on the left, I also insist on stating my height in centimetres and my weight in kilograms, even when talking to imperial-minded folk. It's a war of attrition really, but slowly the imperial system will die off, and hopefully the windows 'OK on the left' convention will too :)
Lol I can't help but laugh by many of these answers. It seems like a case of not seeing the forest for the trees. Like every UX problem fundamentally it depends on how the form is layed out. For example, Labels top, fields below or labels left fields beside. Look at the entire page and how a user's eyes flow down the form. Is there a clear line of sight to the final 'Submit' button?
As stated in a previous post Luke Wroblewski book about web forms Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks contains some of the best advice in web form creation as well as a great paradigm of forms from a user perspective - Forms are a means to an ends and are tolerated because of the intended end result (ie purchasing something, creating an account to get access to somewhere etc). User test, AB test yes of course if you can. The ultimate goal being the easier your form is to fill out the better.
If posible, I would suggest omitting the cancel button altogether, thus solving your dilema. - It is sometimes unnecessary, and is often activated by mistake.
From http://www.nngroup.com/articles/reset-and-cancel-buttons/:
I really like some of the sites where there is NO button (visually) for negative action, only a link. This way I dont have to waste time looking at buttons, I more-less know that the button does. And If i know i dont want to do what the pages wants me to, i take some time to see how would it be the best to go on (look for close button, cancel button)
so instead of:
there would be:
No, thank you! [Yes, please!]
This way there is not really important where you position your button, there is visually only one and therefore easy to locate.
Of course there are plenty of arguments for and against both sides.
I would put it this way though. "Do you believe that negative-positive placement is the best? No or Yes?"
The point being that "Yes or No" flows better when spoken, which likely explains why positive-negative button order was chosen by Microsoft.
On the OTHER hand, negative-positive flow is often used in rhetoric and debating in order to add weight to the positive argument and keep it fresh in a person's mind. "Do you want to see your children suffer at the hands of the opposing party? Or do you want to vote for our party and secure your future?" And so on.

You can cover your nipples with a good quality duct tape, make sure you cover up the hair around your nips too, you don't want wax to get stuck there either.
in all seriousness though, stay away from "punt wax". That **** has ruined my life. I still can't get it out of my watch band and belly hair. It was even stuck in my f*cking arm hair. I pretty sure I also ruined a pair of shorts bringing the board in. It's like the tree sap of waxes.
wax it 101% surface it good
dude brah, just use some resin from your bowl. Not only will you never fall off your board, when you break it from doin a backside mcdoodle flop reverse monkey nut flip, you can throw that m-effer in a fire pit and stand real close. Just take deep breaths, you'll be higher than a giraffes p*ssy
Just in time for the water temp wax switch.. Make sure you blowdry your boards scrape the wax and roll it in a ball and save it for next years base coat!!

I got a number,
400,002,000, I wonder how to read it?
Should it be one of these two? Or something else?
- 四亿零二千
- 四亿二千
I got a number,
Should it be one of these two? Or something else?
此外,之前已经有人讨论过相关内容了,请看这个问题: Rules for saying numbers
四亿零两千。don't read as"二".it's "两". how do you read 22222?二万二千二百二十二?NO,it's两万两千两百二十二.
Actually I agree with James' comment that "四亿二千 can totally be understood", and therefore 零 is optional. That is why I am providing an alternative answer.
Let's go back to the particular section on "Reading and transcribing numbers" in the Wikipedia article on Chinese numerals again. Below, I quote the following:
There are a few things that need to be explained here:
To clarify what point 4 means, let us take a look at a few examples:
() - represents optional zero
And to clarify what point 5 means, take a look at the examples below:
Combining them is as simple as doing a concatenation:
Going back to the number 400,002,000. Since the middle block is all zeros, there is no need to transcribe the middle block. 四亿二千 is not ambiguous and 零 is added optionally to remind people that there is at least one zero between the digits 4 and 2.

Authorities in Wichita say a man suspected of impersonating a police officer and stopping a motorist was actually a Sedgwick County sheriff's deputy. The Wichita Eagle reports a woman called 911 Monday evening saying she'd been stopped by someone in an unmarked car. The woman said the man took her personal information but did not issue a citation. But Sheriff's Lt. David Mattingly said Thursday it turns out the man was a sheriff's detective who stopped the woman for speeding and having an expired tag. Mattingly says the detective used his discretion and did not issue a citation. Mattingly also says the detective told him he had shown the woman his badge, immediately identified himself to her and was wearing a jacket with the word "sheriff" on it.

A few years ago I learned to speed read, but in recent years I'm using it less and less. Maybe because it didn't bring me what it promised: same or even better comprehension and speed.
Did you get the comprehension and are you still using speedreading as your main manner to read? How did you motivate yourself to stay with speed reading?

I'd like to know examples of non-trivial families of abelian varieties over rational bases (e.g. open subschemes of the projective line P^1).
One can generate many examples as Jacobians of rational families of curves (e.g. the hyperellitpic family, plane curves, complete intersections). Prym varieties are another example.
Are there any examples which are not obviously Jacobians of a family of curves? I would like to know both principally polarized and non principally polarized examples.

When I say "angle my foot," I mean in relation to the ground. Is it best to keep your foot level throughout the stroke? Should I point my toes downward or upward at any point? I'm wondering what's best for power transfer, and for your feet and ankles.

For most people the advice goes that you keep your foot as flat as possible. There are some riders that ride toes down (even some famous ones in the Tour) but they've had a coach determine that in their specific case there is benefit to riding toes down.
It's unlikely that you can keep your foot entirely level as it comes over the top of your pedal stroke but it should be level through the power stroke and around the bottom as you pull back on the pedal to spin.
As a response to one of the other posters, be very careful about ankling. While it is touted as a great thing many coaches feel that it does nothing and is an old wives tale. Some even feel it's harmful to you. I've attached some links for futher reading on the subject.
From the reading above, and other articles on the subject, I'm inclined to recommend against it. At the very least talk to a medical professional who can look at your pedaling technique and biomechanics and advise properly.
Most hard-soled cycling shoes position your heel slightly above the ball of your foot (so a slight toes-down angle).
That's probably the angle I maintain throughout each pedal stroke, but to be honest I don't think about it much, nor do I know what's "correct". I focus on trying to make smooth circles and let my ankles do what comes naturally.
Focusing on pointing my toes down seems to help on tough spinning climbs, but it's probably just a psychological trick.

HUNTSVILLE (October 13, 2012)—Convicted killer Richard Tabler, who's awaiting execution for the shooting deaths of a Killeen nightclub owner and another man, has sent a letter to The Associated Press in which he says he's upset that his efforts to die have been blocked in the courts.
Tabler, who used a smuggled cell phone to threaten at state senator from death row, also complains about 24-hour video monitoring and a ban on nearly all of his visitors, AP reported.
Tabler's cell phone calls in 2008 prompted an unprecedented lockdown of the Texas prison system and a contraband sweep.
Tabler says his phone use was "idiotic" and blames it for the court's refusal to comply with his request for a speedy execution.
"It's no longer about justice," he said.
But even Tabler's lawyers have refused to support his request and have challenged his competency.
During a competency hearing in August 2011 in U.S. District Court in Waco, Tabler told U.S. District Judge Walter Smith he wanted to die.
Smith granted Tabler a stay of execution in February 2010, two weeks after a May 2010 execution date was set.
Tabler said in a May 2010 letter to the judge that he didn't want the stay.
"I was very angry was given a stay of execution," Tabler wrote in the letter.
"This is not something I wanted nor did I ask for it."
Tabler was sentenced to death in 2007 for the 2004 shooting deaths of Teazers Gentlemen's Club owner Mohamed-Amine Rahmouni, 25, and his friend Haitham Zayed, 28.
The bodies of the two men were found dumped outside of Killeen.
Tabler and an accomplice used a video camera to record tape of Tabler shooting Rahmouni and Zayed, witnesses said, but the tape was later destroyed.
Tabler was also charged in the murders of Teazer's dancer Tiffany Dotson, 18, and Amber Benefield, 16, whose bodies were found just south of Highway 190.
The shootings were part of what Bell County authorities described as a bizarre plot that targeted the four victims and eight or nine more people.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine estimates that about 6.1 million American women and their partners are infertile—that's 10 percent of the reproductive age population! If you or your partner are a member of this group and are now reading this because you are pregnant, congratulations! No doubt you have been through the ringer of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) that only those who have been there can truly understand.
Perhaps you've used fertility drugs, artificial insemination, or in vitro fertilization. Perhaps you've used frozen embryos, donor sperm or eggs, testicular sperm aspiration, transuterine fallopian transfer, tubal embryo transfer, gamete intrafallopian transfer, zygote intrafallopian transfer, or any of the other possible infertility treatments. By whatever method, here you are pregnant and most likely wavering between euphoria and terror. Because you have been riding the emotional roller coaster of high hopes and disappointments for so long, it's understandable that you want to guard the health of your fetus to assure a full-term pregnancy without complications. Well, here are the facts on your risk of miscarriage:
After the fertilized egg (or eggs!) implants itself securely in the lining of your uterus your chances of a full-term pregnancy are just as good as any other expectant mom. But because of all you've been through to become pregnant and because of the risk of multiples, you should consider calling in a perinatologist to monitor your pregnancy. As noted previously, this is a medical doctor who specializes in the complications of high-risk pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
When you finally deliver your baby, you'll be glad to hear that he or she will not face any more health problems than babies conceived by natural means. That's the good news out of the 2003 Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. A study presented at that meeting reported no major differences in birth weight, growth, total IQ, motor development, behavior problems, or prenatal stress were found between the children conceived with infertility treatments and those conceived naturally. So relax!

Digestive Disorders Health Center
Giardiasis - Topic Overview
How is it treated?
Your doctor may prescribe medicine to kill the parasite. Treatment also lowers the chance that you will pass giardia to others. It's important to take the medicine for as long as prescribed, so the infection does not come back.
In some situations, you may be tested for giardiasis even though you don't have any symptoms. For example, this could happen during an outbreak at a day care center. If tests show that you are infected, your doctor may recommend that you get treatment even if you don't have symptoms. This is because a small number of people who are not treated get a long-term infection.
If you have diarrhea, try eating small amounts of bland food until you feel better. This gives your bowel a rest. But you need to take frequent sips of clear fluids like rehydration drinks to avoid dehydration. This is especially important for children, because they can become dehydrated quickly.
Some people with giardiasis have temporary trouble digesting milk and milk products. This is called lactose intolerance. If you have this problem, avoid these foods for at least 1 month. Then slowly add them back into your daily meals as your body can handle them.
Can giardiasis be prevented?
There are some things you can do to avoid giardiasis.
- Don't drink untreated or unpurified water. If you are camping or hiking, boil or purify water from lakes and streams before you drink it.
- When you travel in high-risk areas, drink bottled water and avoid raw fruits and vegetables. Don't drink beverages containing ice cubes.
- Wash your hands often to prevent getting giardiasis from an infected person. This is very important not only after you change diapers, use the toilet, or help someone else use the toilet but also before you prepare food.

The program should run in batch mode to resize all files in a folder and then save new files to different folder. An option for setting jpg quality would be great, too.
I'm a little surprised that no one has mentioned the easiest, cheapest, and least technical option:
First, open Automator, which is in your Applications folder.
Next, choose to create a new workflow:
Next, add the following steps to the workflow by dragging and dropping:
When you run this, Automator is going to:
(The "show this action when the workflow runs" checkbox means that the workflow is going to pause, display the option, and allow you to change it then)
Once you do that, Automator is going to churn and burn, and when it's done it'll beep at you.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have an option to choose JPEG quality. However, for the price (free), it's pretty dang convenient.
I like to use ImageMagick.
You can install ImageMagick with
More information:
Here's a similar command that uses
If others have less than 100,000 images, you might also use Preview:
Preview used to use the same resizing method as
I uploaded a comparison of the different options to http://19a5b0.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/imagemagick-osx-resizing/index.html.
ImageMagick is a command line interface program and made for this purpose. The use and installation of ImageMagick can intimidating, but this image manipulation package is the most powerfull I have encountered so far. As the installation from source can be a hassle for native OS X users I advise you to use Homebrew.
To install ImageMagick using Homebrew run this oneliner in your terminal:
Homebrew is now installed, it is wise to follow the installer's suggestions after installation. Now we install ImageMagick using
ImageMagick is now installed and it's
To answer your question "How to resize all files in a folder and save them in a different folder" you can run the following script.
ImageMagick can convert over 100 different image formats, and almost all tricks you can do with Photoshop you can do with ImageMagick.
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
Several people have mentioned ImageMagick. Here is a recipe: For simplicity, assume all the files are in one folder (and the folder contains nothing else). Open a terminal window, cd into this folder, then run
where you replace the 800x600 by whatever size you want.
Advantages include a great amount of flexibility in ImageMagick's
Disadvantages are the obvious ones: It requires a certain familiarity with the command line, plus a willingness to plough through the command line options of
I second GraphicConverter. I've been a registered user for 16 years. Its main purpose is batch-processing image editing, and it has a good user interface for designing custom workflows and saving them.
You can also use it in conjunction with Automator, but you probably won't need to.
Here is some information from GraphicConverter's page explaining their batch processing image editing functions.
This is yet another simple, clean and effective batch image resize script. If you are dealing with graphics and different resolutions a lot, you can use this script and save it with different values for occasional uses.
Do so, by changing this
Open Script Editor, and create the following new script:
original source
Preview is certainly a good solution for some occasional resizing. There are also other nice free options, such as ImageMagic (command-line utility), Preview or something else plus Automator, etc.
However, if this is a part of your job and you need a true flexibility, a special-purpose application will save you a lot of time, and offer much more opportunities. Many users chose our batch image resizer Resize Sense (http://veprit.com/resizesense) for its outstanding flexibility and convenience.
Disclaimer: I am the developer. You better judge Resize Sense yourself. The introductory video on the product website will tell you exactly what is so special in Resize Sense. There is a free demo version.
The best for this..
I usually import all of the pictures into iPhoto and then export them to the different sizes. I have done it on batches of 300 or so images, but never on the scale you are wanting. Still, it may be an option.
No one has mentioned Apple Aperture.
While by no means the cheapest, it comes with a lot of other things that you may find useful. It basically replaces iPhoto and then some. It does 95% of what photographers commonly use Photoshop for. (It won't do flaming text. :-)
But unless you need the other things Aperture gives you, I second both the ImageMagick approach -- if you're not intimidated by downloading, installing, and running command-line programs, and the Automator approach, which despite @markhunte's claim, is free.
I use wine (and XQuartz) and IrfanView. Of course you could also use imagemagick from the command-line. For wine and imagemagick I would recommend Homebrew.

Middlesbrough 1
Griffiths (pen) 21mins
City 4
Bytyqi 4mins, Byrne 38mins, McHale 57mins, Celina 84mins
- Match reports
- 30 April 2013 17:04
- Posted by @porter_mcfc / Words by Gordon Cox
City eased to a comfortable win in warm sunshine in the north east.
It took just four minutes for them to edge in front as Kean Bryan crossed low from the left of the penalty area. Boro's defence failed to clear and Sinan Bytyqi followed up to smash home from close range.
A few minutes later Bryan just cleared the bar from a 20-yard free-kick as City looked for a quick second, but Boro were having none of it and settled into the game. Mark Kitching had a low shot blocked before the home side equalised from the penalty spot.
With 20 minutes played Luke Armstrong was brought down by Angus Gunn and England U17 international Priestley Griffiths sent the goalkeeper the wrong way.
City's lead was restored eight minutes from half-time when James Horsfield sent over a delicious cross from the right and Jack Byrne showed great awareness to tuck in from close range.
Just 90 seconds later it was almost three when Bytyqi shot on the turn inside the penalty and struck a post.
City's wide players, especially Dominic McHale, gave Boro's full-backs a hard time and it was no surprise when the visitors went further ahead after 58 minutes when McHale worked his way into the Boro box on the right and curled a low shot past Joe Fryer.
Kitching brought a relatively comfortable save from Gunn before substitute Scott McCarthy wasted a good chance to reduce the arrears when heading over.
There was time for another goal and that went to City as, with 84 minutes played, Byrne delivered a free kick from close to the right-hand edge of the penalty area and Mathias Bossaerts rose higher than anyone to knock onto the head of Bersant Celina and into the net.
This result leaves the Blues very much in contention to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition ahead of their final game of Phase 2 against Aston Villa on Saturday.

In the web app I am working on right now we'll have some pages that will perhaps need more time to load. When should I use an ajax loader? After 1, 2 or 3 seconds?
"1.0 second is about the limit for the user's flow of thought to stay uninterrupted, even though the user will notice the delay. Normally, no special feedback is necessary during delays of more than 0.1 but less than 1.0 second, but the user does lose the feeling of operating directly on the data." (See reference 2 below)
I'd say, if a page needs more than 1 second, then at the 1 second mark make sure to give a feedback showing that it is necessary to wait. (But that wait better be less than 10 seconds -- see again 1 and 2 below).
1) Miller, R.B., 1968, Response time in man-computer conversational transaction. Proceedings of AFIPS Fall Joint Computer Conference, 33, 267-277.
I use approximately 500 ms before I show a small loader. Nowadays people will be annoyed if the loading time is more than 1 second, but a loader eases the waiting for a little while (e.g., if the loader appears the users seems to be a little more patient to wait - the know that the system is trying to do something - it hasn't crashed).
A smaller amount will just show the loader when it's not needed in those cases where the loader appears just for some ms.

In short: I have 2 windows applications(written using .NET) and need to pass updates from one to another.
Example: operator has his program that receives a call. He needs to fill details about caller in his program. Dispatcher has another program(that uses same database) and after operator started to fill information about caller-he must see that typed sentences in "realtime". The idea is that he must have some sort of card about caller and see its updates. The problem here is: i want to do as less calls to the database as possible, because there can be many dispatchers and operators at the same time.
Ive heard about MQ message brokers(like rabbitMQ, activeMQ), but havent used them yet(just "heard"), and dont really now if they are applicable in such situation.
P.S. hope ive described the question normally. Please tell me if i wrote something wrongly or not clearly. Thank you.
