We only have a few stadium articles at the moment so it's not a problem yet, but I d agree that we'll have to do something about it sooner or later.
I'm back on the wiki now, I was having cache issues apparently. JJay sorted it for me though.
How about a page called Billy Jones, and then one called Billy Jones (Preston) and one called Billy Jones (Crewe), then have links to them both on he Billy Jones page. If you like I will make the pages and you could just do the information?
Probably the best way of doing it I suppose.
K, do you want me to make them or will you?
Will it be done for all players like this? Can you sort that out please mate?
WelshWizard11 is Dan_Wales_Man on here. It says in the Wales national team page Alan.
Don't know about others, but I don't think we should have that sort of thing on there. On the club guides it is OK, because I am posting on behalf of someone else, but if its your own work it isnt needed imo.
Sorted both Billy Jones'.

I've added a FM fansites page.
www.sortitoutsi.com appears as 'Sortitoutsi'? Or just leave them as they are?
Arsenal it's .net at the end mate. Edited my last post above Alan too.
Done profile page for Gylfi Sigurdsson.
I've merged the facepacks page with the kits & logos page. They were both more or less the same so it was pointless to have both.
It's still very rough though.
K, no point having both as they do that same.
I'm off now, night
Night Jammy.
I'll stay up another while & make a few more minor edits.
Night mate. Is anyone going to 'lock' my threads i've done tonight?
Looking through the sections, I think Affiliated clubs, Bosman transfers and Work permit should be under the Gameplay category instead of Miscellaneous. I'll move them unless people think they shouldn't?
Ok i've moved the articles i was talking about.
Cheers mate. I'll do more tomorrow mate after footy.
Cheers stig. I think I'm done now for tonight. Will do a bit more tomorrow.
Cheers smallMac
Just a minor announcement. I am now the new 'FM Wiki representative'. I would just like to ask you that if you ever need to ask for permission to use content, and I am online, to PM me and I will get it sorted immediately. I will also be looking around and finding new ways to advertise our site.
Sorry, I will make myself clearer. Basically, if you want to use an article or a piece of writing that someone else has written, and I am online, mention it here and I will get you permission. It is something I am good at outside of these forums and I guess I may aswell use it to good effect.
Oh ok. So if i want to copy somthing from say bbc football - you could sort that out? Or is it only in reference to these forums?
I would do my best to sort it out, with places like that it could take a while to get a reply but I would do my best
Was just thinking the other day that there is loads of relevant info we could lift from Wikipedia to fill in some gaps, i wonder what copyright (if any) they have? I guess also that people would rather the articles we did were original from forumers.
Well BBC is seemingly impossible but I have contacted skysports in hope they will give us some light permissions. I will explore what copyright they have.
Also, I am not sure people will mind too much about things like player profiles as I am sure they appreciate the difficulty at hand.
Since you're our advertising guy now Peter, does that mean you'll be adding us to the fansites page on the FM website?
Slight rule change: Only registered users are allowed to make pages now.
Could somebody test that they can edit the pages that is registered?
I will be putting our page on the FM website
I've made a seperate forum for the wiki. PM me if you're interested in joining.
I want a cool role like Peter has now
Guys, I posted a new thread in the forum for wiki. Have a look.
I feel special now . Will have a look rancer
I have given Jammy a special rank now too
Whats my rank?!
By the way, I want a special rank button thing.
You are not really sexy.
Just click on your name and it will say. Is also on the right of your posts.
I don't know what you guys are talking about
MLS expert and Toronto FC's Number 1 Fan
Two roles.
Has anyone done any articles for the wiki today?
I havn't because of ICT coursework
Update: We are on the FM Fansites section but are on the final page. CaptainHaddock will be mention us in the 'community round-up' and I will put a reference in the 'affiliates section'.
Is that the fansites forum or the affiliates forum Peter?
What do you mean? We are on the FM official website.
Never mind. I thought you said forum.
I need you all to rate us five-stars to give us a wee boost.
But that's cheating
If you think we are worth five-stars then boost us.
Worth 6 stars tbh, but theres no option for that
Welcome aboard Dan, check your PM inbox
Yes welcome aboard Dan!
Have you got a link to the FM official website where it has us as an affiliate/fansite.
That should be right
On the 6th page Rob.
I've added a few logos to club articles.
Thanks, we are at the top of the page now
Top of the top page aswell
Glad to see great progress been made since the last time I was on. I have not as much time as I used to and probably will not until I am finished my work experience at the end of August. Weekends are mainly the only time I can contribute at the moment (I know this is not the weekend before anyone says anything ). Last weekend was an exception though due to a certain rugby match.
Just discovered your PMs ahmufcwafc so have now joined the Wiki forum.
In fact i had another PM from another fella over 2 months ago which i never realised i had received :o
I think it would be great if you could try to enforce some sort of standard layout for certain types of pages like the Club Guides for example. Hoffenheims page for example has info like Stadium Facilities and Transfer Budgets whilst other pages do not. This is handy info for someone who is looking to start a new game and it would be nice to see all teams pages like that and following the same structure for neatness and continuity. If all pages were like that perhaps people would use it as a guide for picking a club or nation to go manage when they are unsure.
If you decide that this is a good idea it would be better to put it in place sooner rather than later, so that there are less pages to edit.
I like Landon Donovans page btw, it's certainly not professional but it made me chuckle.
Yeah good post, agree with it too.
Alan, is it possible to revert an article to a previous edit, or is that something only admins can do? (referring to the Landon Donovan article)

The rare combination of the sexually transmitted diseases, Ghonoria, Syphalis, Herpes, and the ever popular AIDS. Also referred to as the jackpot, GhonasyphaherpalAIDS has become a growing problem in some urban populations. GhonasyphaherpalAIDS can be contracted at most social functions and has recently found a new home in the college populations of America. The best way to avoid contracting GonasyphaherpalAIDS is to practice abstinance.

I first discovered this disease about 7 or 8 years ago when I was in high school. This disease seems to be a combination of gonorrhea, syphilis, various herpeses, and super AIDS. The thing is, that this combination of diseases live in harmony, and there are actually no symptoms. That is, until you spontaneously combust.
I seriously came up with this years ago, and like any good disease, it seems to have spread Everywhere!

Ron Paul's twitter comment has upset a medal of honor winner.
Local Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer says Ron Paul's tweet was definitely inappropriate.
Congressman Paul made a comment about living and dying by the sword in reference to sniper Chris Kyle, all of the people he killed and his death.
"So now, you've got Ron Paul coming out and basically justifying the attack on Chris Kyle and his murder with what he said. So, that puts all of us veterans and law enforcement in danger," said Meyer.
Meyer says he was an acquaintance with Chris Kyle and said not only was he a great sniper, but after he got out of the service he tried to make a difference with veterans.

Subsidizing the Press
It is time for news organizations to begin making greater use of the nonprofit form
*A fuller version of this argument is available in the Spring 2011 issue of the Journal of Legal Analysis. Download the full article as a PDF.
Through beat reporting and investigative journalism, reporters monitor the foundational institutions of our society. This reporting has value even to those who never buy a newspaper or read a website. For example, subscribers and nonsubscribers alike benefit when government officials respond to a critical news story by eliminating an abusive practice.
Yet, unfortunately, the professional press is experiencing a severe economic crisis. With the advent of the Internet, Craigslist and a host of other sites now compete with newspapers for classified and other ads. Revenue from print ads fell by 23 percent industry-wide from 2006 to 2008 and by another 30 percent in 2009. This is a body blow to the newspaper industry, since even the diminished total still represents 90 percent of all newspaper revenue. In addition, the proliferation of online content is not helping; only 8 percent of the industry's advertising revenue comes from online ads, and the percentage has stopped growing. Unfortunately, subscription revenue has plummeted as well. The percentage of Americans who buy a daily newspaper is half of what it was in 1945, declining from 38 percent in 2006 to 30 percent in 2008. According to the "Paper Cuts" blog, approximately 16,000 journalists lost their jobs in 2008, and another 17,000 in 2009. The newsroom was reduced by half at the Los Angeles Times, by 45 percent at The Star-Ledger, from 450 to 150 at The Baltimore Sun, and from 500 to 200 at the San Francisco Chronicle.
Distributing news online is much cheaper and dramatically lowers barriers to entry. Anyone can create a blog. Yet, unfortunately, the contribution of these new players to investigative and beat reporting has been limited. Relatively few Internet sites engage in original reporting; between 85 percent and 95 percent of all professionally reported news still originates with daily newspapers.
In response to this crisis, many commentators have called for government subsidies for the press. Yet if the press becomes financially dependent on the government, would they be deterred from monitoring and criticizing the government? If so, the subsidy would undercut some of the social benefits it is meant to preserve.
The answer to this conundrum is for news organizations to make greater use of the nonprofit form. This way, donors can make tax-deductible contributions to news organizations. The deduction for charitable contributions is a way of privatizing the allocation of funding for public goods, so the government piggybacks on the judgments of private philanthropists. This model is especially appealing when it is problematic for the government to allocate funds. In order to safeguard the separation of church and state, for example, we do not want the government to decide which religious organizations to fund. Instead, we delegate to individuals the ability to make tax-deductible contributions to their religious organization of choice. The same approach can be used to safeguard the "separation of press and state." A nonprofit news organization is not owned by the government, and it does not have to ask the government for funding. As long as it can attract private donations, government funding comes indirectly and automatically. Because Congress plays no role in allocating this money, reporters and editors should not be deterred from investigating or criticizing the government.
Admittedly, this subsidy model presents a different concern about independence: the risk that private donors will influence which stories are covered and which viewpoints are expressed. Yet there is nothing new about the risk that private funders might seek to influence editorial matters. For-profit news organizations have controlling shareholders (e.g., the Sulzberger family, Rupert Murdoch), as well as advertisers, all of whom can try to use their financial leverage to influence editorial decisions. It is not clear why philanthropic donors pose a risk that is more significant or, indeed, particularly different than owners and advertisers. The main change is that a third class of financial supporters (donors) is added to the other two (owners and advertisers). If we judge the risk to independence as increasing with the number of players who provide financial support, then this is a step in the wrong direction. Yet this analysis is oversimplified, since increasing the number of financial supporters can lend diversification to the news organization, reducing the leverage of any individual and thus her ability to influence editorial matters.
Will tax-deductible contributions find their way to the highest quality news outlets? To determine which organizations receive government funding, this model relies on donors, instead of on readers, government officials, or a government-appointed board of experts. Although donors will vary in their sophistication, the fact that they are investing their own money will focus their minds, motivating them to think carefully about which organization deserves their support.
It is worth noting that a number of successful nonprofit news organizations are already in existence. National Public Radio attracts 40 percent of its budget from foundation and corporate sponsors. The nonprofit independent newsroom Pro Publica recently became the first online news organization to win a Pulitzer Prize. Other well-known news nonprofits include Harper's Magazine, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, Washington Monthly, Ms. Magazine, Mother Jones, Consumer Reports, and National Geographic.
These familiar organizations highlight a further advantage of using the nonprofit form for news: The subsidy for nonprofit news already is available, to a significant extent, under current law. The fact that no change in law is needed in order for this approach to come into wider use means that there is no need to sell the public on public support for news organizations. Unlike with other subsidy models, it is not necessary to single out news organizations for special treatment or to authorize a separate budget line for subsidizing them. The relevant tax benefit exists under current law and is offered to a broad class of institutions, from religious organizations and universities to orchestras and museums. News organizations should follow their lead as a way to safeguard their essential position within our democratic society.

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's advisory board meetings scheduled for tonight and tomorrow in Minto, Scranton and Cayuga have been postponed to next week due to inclement weather. The meeting scheduled for tonight in Jamestown will take place as planned.
The meeting in Minto is rescheduled for Monday, Dec. 9, Cayuga is Tuesday, Dec. 10 and Scranton is Monday, Dec. 16.
District 6 – Counties: Barnes, Dickey, Foster, Griggs, Logan, LaMoure, McIntosh, Stutsman and Wells
Date: December 2 – 7 p.m.
North Dakota waterfowl hunters are reminded the statewide duck and white-fronted goose seasons close Dec. 1. However, duck hunting in the high plains unit reopens Dec. 7 and continues through Dec. 29.
In addition, the season for Canada geese closes Dec. 21, except for the Missouri River Zone, which closes Dec. 27. Light goose hunting closes statewide Dec. 29.
Mountain lion hunting during the early season in zone 1 closed Nov. 24 with six of 14 cats taken. The late season in zone 1, with a quota of seven, runs Nov. 25 through March 31, 2014, or once the quota is filled.
Zone 1 includes land south of ND Highway 1804 from the Montana border to the point where ND Highway 1804 lies directly across Lake Sakakawea from ND Highway 8, crossing Lake Sakakawea then south along ND Highway 8 to ND Highway 200, then west on ND Highway 200 to U.S. Highway 85, then south on U.S. Highway 85 to the South Dakota border.
State Game and Fish Department officials are cautioning hunters to be wary of where they hunt, as late-season weather is freezing North Dakota's small and mid-sized waters, giving the appearance of safe foot travel.
Nancy Boldt, department boat and water safety coordinator, said hunters should be cautious of walking on frozen stock ponds, sloughs, creeks and rivers.
Anglers are reminded that three North Dakota lakes are closed to ice fishing.
The State Fair Pond in Ward County, McDowell Dam in Burleigh County and Lightning Lake in McLean County are closed when the lakes ice over.
Anglers should refer to the 2012-14 North Dakota Fishing Guide for open water and winter fishing regulations.
North Dakota's darkhouse spearfishing season opens on most state waters December 1. The season extends through March 15. Legal fish are northern pike and nongame species.
Darkhouse spearing is allowed for all residents with a valid fishing license and for residents under age 16. Nonresidents may darkhouse spearfish in North Dakota if they are from states that offer the same privilege for North Dakota residents.
Organizers planning fishing tournaments, including ice fishing contests this winter, are reminded to submit an application along with fishing tournament regulations to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department at least 30 days prior to the start of the event.
The 30-day advance notice allows for review by agency staff to ensure the proposed tournament will not have negative consequences or conflicts with other proposed tournaments for the same location and/or time.
Tournaments may not occur without first obtaining a valid permit from the department.
Hunters are reminded that several North Dakota national wildlife refuges open to late-season upland game bird hunting the day after the deer gun season closes.
Arrowwood, Audubon, Des Lacs, J. Clark Salyer, Lake Alice, Lake Zahl, Long Lake, Lostwood, Tewaukon (pheasants only), and Upper Souris NWRs open Nov. 25.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's fall mule deer survey indicated production in 2013 was higher than in 2012.
Biologists counted 1,761 (1,224 in 2012) mule deer in the aerial survey in October. The buck-to-doe ratio of 0.46 (0.37 in 2012) is similar to the long-term average of 0.43 bucks per doe, while the fawn-to-doe ratio of 0.74 (0.59 in 2012) was the highest since 2009, but still below the long-term average of 0.91 fawns per doe.
Fisheries crews completed their annual salmon spawning operation on Lake Sakakawea after collecting 1.9 million eggs, easily surpassing their goal of 900,000.
Russell Kinzler, North Dakota Game and Fish Department Missouri River System biologist, said two thirds of the eggs came from Lake Sakakawea and the remainder from the Missouri River below Garrison Dam. The average size of Lake Sakakawea females was about 5.7 pounds, about 1 pound smaller than 2012. The Missouri River females, which are typically larger than the lake fish, averaged 7.5 pounds.
Outdoor enthusiasts are invited to attend a North Dakota Game and Fish Department advisory board meeting in their area.
These public meetings, held each spring and fall, provide citizens with an opportunity to discuss fish and wildlife issues and ask questions of their district advisors and agency personnel.
The governor appoints eight Game and Fish Department advisors, each representing a multi-county section of the state, to serve as a liaison between the department and public.
Hunters harvesting a big game animal this fall in North Dakota deer unit 3F2 cannot transport a carcass containing the head and spinal column outside of the unit unless it's taken directly to a meat processor.
The head can be removed from the carcass and transported outside of the unit if it is to be submitted to a State Game and Fish Department district office, CWD surveillance drop-off location or a licensed taxidermist.

I have a partner who would like us to use a commercial product called Connect Direct where we would normally use ssh based scp or sftp. Besides reading their website, which is of course not quite impartial, is there any material (or do any of you have any opinions or info) on why this software is better than cron (or at) and scp scripting?
Wikipedia has some nice information at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NDM.
From what I can ascertain with a bit of searching, it was built to guarantee stability with arguably less of a compromise in speed than similarly flexible solutions.
Having used Connect Direct, I would say avoid it if you can.
On its plus sides:
Sometimes you've got to ditch mainframe era technology, even if it used to be top-notch and cost an arm and a leg. From the description I fail to see what Direct:Connect provides that isn't matched or outclassed by scripted
My biggest concern with Connect:Direct is how unnecessarily complex it is. That it is costly and outdated is another issue. And that it is closed source and doesn't have the industry support, eyeballs and testing that OpenSSH is still another issue. My key concern with CD is that it violates one of the most fundamental security concerns - that "complexity is the enemy of security." You can be complex or you can be secure but you can't be both. From a high level, I feel that Connect:Direct is insecure through its own complexity. I can only assume that there are many other security blunders under the hood - being closed source and barely used makes it easy to hide or ignore other types of security problems. I would not have faith in this product. I'm not happy at all that I've had to use it.

Life's a Beach in Cape Town
The Mother City is blessed with an abundance of white sandy beaches, that stretch on further than the eye can see. With spectacular views of Cape Town's landmarks, and refreshingly cold ocean water, it's no wonder that Cape Town was voted Best Beach Destination in Africa at the World Travel Awards 2012.
Cape Town's 26 beaches are divided into three regions in the Cape Peninsula: False Bay, the Atlantic seaboard and the West Coast.
Take a dip in the clear blue ocean water, catch a wave on a surfboard, or just lie on a beach towel and soak up the sun at one of these amazing Cape Town beaches.

The History of Agent Orange
SensoryOssuary | May 26, 2008
This is a clip from the French documentary "The World According to Monsanto." It summarizes the history of Agent Orange, a toxic herbicide produced by Monsanto, Dow Chemical, and other companies. It was sprayed extensively during the Vietnam War, leading to a horrific variety of adverse health effects. Monsanto conducted deliberately flawed and coercive studies to "prove" that Agent Orange was safe, causing many Vietnam veterans to be denied sufficient health benefits.
In the late 1990's, Monsanto changed its focus from chemicals like Agent Orange to biotechnology. It now indirectly controls approximately 60% of the world food supply. Monsanto insists that its genetically modified crops are safe.

"Propaganda by its very nature is an enterprise for perverting the significance of events and of insinuating false intentions…The propagandist will not accuse the enemy of just any misdeed; he will accuse him of the very intention that he himself has and of trying to commit the very crime that he himself is about to commit. He who wants to provoke a war not only proclaims his own peaceful intentions but also accuses the other party of provocation." – Jacques Ellul, Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes, 1965
… though mainstream media outlets are suffused with pro-Israel bias and Israel has legions of willing propagandists trolling the internet to spread Netanyahu's latest talking points, we have heard – especially as the Palestinian death toll keeps rising – that Israel and its advocates are "losing the media war." … Read full article

9th MARIINSKY FESTIVAL: Performance ReportsMarch 14 - 22, 2009
Posted 25 March 2009 - 10:28 AM
It just upsets me how one or two 'Most Favored' dancers can make a travesty out of Balanchine choreography and be allowed a 'pass.' It's just not fair, IMO.

>turning skills.
Known for his high-energy, intense performing skills too! And his jumps!
Who knows how long they had to rehearse this pas before the performance.....
That situation too often leads to small and big disasters...

Off nights, bad nights, partnering mishaps happen.... especially when there is little
rehearsal time.
And it is a professional female's job to conquer the freak-out nerves that come about,
as quickly as possible, when her partner messes up the partnering... unless she is injured
having to leave the stage....
Posted 26 March 2009 - 11:29 AM
I imagine a lady would be pretty shaken, too, perhaps too concerned with her own nerves to tend to her partner's, especially if they were near strangers, and extra especially if they didn't share a language in which they were both perfectly fluent.

It's a different language, not talking, while being on stage. It's about sending one's physical energy to the partner struggling to stay afloat by giving one's self extra calmness, humor, as much as is possible, and communicating that to the partner. Not easy to do, but totally necessary, often... unless you are dancing with a partner you've comfortably worked with for many years.

According to the video, Obraztsova handled the mishap with courage and grace.
Good to hear! I would have expected that instead of what a person's harsher comments stated earlier.

And I agree, definitely not Murphy - those are not her Gaynor Mindens. The Cyrillic caption says Nadezhda Gonchar.
As the International Sales Manager for Gaynor Minden, I'd like to say that my colleagues and I genuinely enjoy reading these reports from Saint Petersburg. We all wish we could be there in person to experience these fantastic performances from such talented artists.
I would like to respectfully point out that while those are not Gillian Murphy's Gaynor Mindens, they are most certainly Nadezhda Gonchar's Gaynor Mindens. Nadia has been wearing them for some years now, as do nearly all of the First and Second Soloists, Coryphees and Corps de Ballet (including recent graduates from the Vagonova Academy, such as Anastasia Nikitina).
In summer of 2007 the color of the outer sole was changed from grey to tan, to give the shoes a more traditional look on stage.
Posted 03 April 2009 - 07:49 AM
Now that the dust has settled and Ive had a chance to reflect on 10 amazing days in St. Petersburg, certain images and dancers remain in my mind:
* Polina Semionovas Nikiya in BAYADERE the finest night of the Festival to me. Semionova earned my greatest respect that night the finest Nikiya that Ive seen live since Lopatkinas debut in May 1995. I will forever remember Polina Semionovas steady triple-pirouettes, in both directions, while holding onto the white tulle scarf in Act III. Even better, Ill remember her sculptural purity in solo adagio moments, such as her initial dance around the fire, after the Brahmin removes her veil. The normally-hokey Soviet-era Slave Adagio in Scene 2 became a true work of art with Semionovas plastique, with fine partnering from the ultra-strong Sergei Salikov.
* Viktoria Terioshkina undoubtedly the Queen of the Festival among the many fine local ballerinas. She consistently displayed not only her trademark technical facility but also charming, moving drama in all three of her Festival assignments the Tsar-Maiden in Ratmanskys LHH, Odette-Odile and Manon pdd with Marcelo Gomes at the final gala night. Terioshkina grew in my estimation to a true Prima Ballerina as the Tsar-Maiden, with the Yawning Solo that commences Act II as the landmark moment including those eight consecutive languid renverse turns without placing the free foot down. Shes a certain Golden Mask 2010 nominee and, so far, most likely awardee, unless other great premiere performances happen in Russia between now and the end of the current season.
* Its hard to crown a King of the Festival, as no one local-favorite dancer blew-over the competition as did Terioshkina among the women. Still, Ill give the nod to Leonid Sarafanov for three excellent, crowd-pleasing performances: Ivanushka in the 2nd cast of LHH, Basilio in DON Q and TARANTELLA at the final gala. We can forgive him the occasional smiles at the audience and clappings in time to get the ovations rolling. Of course, my personal King of the Festival was a guest Marcelo The Magnificent Gomes of ABT!
* Discovery of the Festival: Without hesitation I name Anastasia Petushkova the character-soloist lady in the BAYADERE Hindu/Tom-Tom Dance as my female discovery of the Festival. This bold and big dancer MUST be seen and recognized by the rest of the Ballet World. She is extraordinary. Also very promising among the ladies is Oksana Skorik, whose Moyna in GISELLE truly turned a lot of heads. Among the gents, I must single out young Ilya Petrov Vaganova Class of 2008 who wowed us as the opening-night Humpbacked Horse. What a role for a first-year novice! He did the Mariinsky proud. Among the corps dancers who did not have solo moments but were prominently featured in clusters, I could not help but admire every appearance of the cutie-pie-faced Anna Lavrinenko and the scene-stealing gent, Karen Ioannisian.
* Previously-strong impressions were cemented by such top-notch dancers at the Soloist level such as Ekaterina Kondaurova (wonderful as the Queen of the Seas in LHH and Myrtha in GISELLE), Islom The Energizer Baimuratov in anything he did, Konstantin Zverevs Espada in DON Q, Evgenia Obraztsovas 1st Shade in BAYADERE, Vladimir Ponomaryev as the Main Character Man in practically every full-length ballet, and Irina Golub in FLAMES of PARIS pdd the final night (with a series of magnificent fouettes performed with one hand on her waist throughout).
* SINGLE-HAPPIEST MOMENT OF JOY Surprise of the Festival: The new-and-gorgeously-improved Tatyana Tkachenko stepping out, unannounced, to dance the Dryad Queen in DON Q replacing you-know-who.
* The guest dancers beside the amazing Semionova were mostly quite strong this year. Grand impressions were left by Cubas Viengsay Valdes as Kitri in DON Q with her surreal balances and fouettes; Marcelo Gomes of ABT in his two testosterone-plus appearances, including an unforgettable Albrecht opposite Vishnevas GISELLE; and Mikhail Kaniskin of Berlin Ballets low-key but beautiful Siegfried opposite Terioshkina in SWAN LAKE. With all due respect to Ms Valdes, the "Saddest Guest Cancellation" award goes to Ashley Bouder of NYCB, who was originally scheduled for that DON Q Kitri; hopefully, Bouder may grace the Festival roster in the future?
* The companys two Super-Duper Primas both had wonderful moments Uliana Lopatkina in DIAMONDS, at her otherwise-regrettable gala evening, and Diana Vishneva as GISELLE so superior to her mostly-lamentable BEAUTY IN MOTION evening.
* The fun and over-the-top craziness of the Final Gala, warts and all. I would never-ever want to see a performance of Schmucks LE GRAND PAS DE DEUX again but, boy, was it fun to see that one time with Uliana Lopatkina and Igor Kolb!
* Most Missed Dancers at the Festival: Andrian Fadeev (recovering from foot injury sustained at the Kennedy Center in January), Olesya Novikova (happily expecting), Ekaterina Osmolkina (guesting with the RB-London), Daria Pavlenko (no excuse), Anton Korsakov (another no-excuse as are ), Maya Dumchenko, Tatiana Nekipelova-Bazhitova, Svetlana Ivanova, Elena Sheshina, Nikolai Zubkovsky so many able-and-available choryphees and soloists who delighted us at home and on tours during the past year or two, now in Ballet Siberia?
* Special Final Kudos to the personnel and charactersof the Mariinsky Theater who are so memorable from the programme-selling lady who always snuck into my box to view special moments especially Sarafanovs solos -- to the coat-check fellow who delighted in practicing his English with me every night, to the kind and courteous box-office lady with whom I had no trouble collecting my on-line purchases (the Mariinsky On-Line ticketing is A-#1!) even the nutty clacquer known as Yevgeni the BRAVO MAN who brought unexpected laughter with his big mouth, yelling Bravo! at most unusual moments Thanks for the Happy Memories!

How is entropy of a general probability measure defined?
closed as off topic by Gjergji Zaimi, Steve Huntsman, Andrey Rekalo, Qiaochu Yuan, Yemon Choi Jul 23 '10 at 20:31
Questions on MathOverflow are expected to relate to research level mathematics within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The Entropy of a function $f$ with respect to a measure $\mu$ is
$$ Ent_{\mu}(f)=\int f \log f d\mu - \int f d\mu \log(\int f d\mu ) $$
The entropy of a probability distribution $P$ with respect to $\mu$ is given by $ Ent(\frac{dP }{d\mu })$. I a not aware of a general definition that would not implie a reference (here it is $\mu$) measure ...
It is not. If a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}$ is absolutely continuous and has density $f$, then "entropy" usually refers to the differential entropy, defined in the Wikipedia page falagar linked to. If the probability measure has discrete support, entropy is defined by an analogous formula, given in this Wikipedia page. In the most classical treatments, these are the only situations covered at all.
However, both of these are special cases of the more general notion of relative entropy that Helge and robin girard pointed out: in the continuous case the reference measure ($\nu$ in Helge's notation, $\mu$ in robin's notation) is Lebesgue measure, and in the discrete case the reference measure is counting measure on the support.
Entropy is not defined for a single probability measure!
Entropy is a relative thing, you define between two measure $\mu$ and $\nu$. Then the entropy is defined by $$ \mathcal{E}(\mu,\nu) = \begin{cases} - \int w(x) \log(w(x)) d\nu(x),& d \mu = w d\nu; \\\ -\infty, & otherwise.\end{cases}, $$ I might have messed up the signs. $w$ is the Radon-Nikodym derivate of $\mu$ with respect to $\nu$.

The 11 Most Badass Last Words Ever Uttered
Everyone hopes to leave a legacy. To be remembered after our passing is the closest thing humans have to immortality, at least until cryogenics figures out how to reanimate Walt Disney's head.
Some people try to pull off immortality with a lifetime of achievements and noble acts. But why piss away all that energy on altruism when you can simply spout one badass quote before you take the dirt nap and live on through eternity known as a guy who needed a second casket for his balls?
Last Words Of: Carl Panzram, Serial Killer
You may know the term "Hoosier" (meaning people from Indiana) from that Gene Hackman movie about the basketball team. Apparently people from there are really good at teamwork and jump shots, and really bad at executing people quickly.
Now, far be it from us to glorify the defiance of a convicted serial killer, but Carl Panzram did make an interesting point about the mire of bureaucracy versus individual enterprise. If the guy you're executing thinks you're taking too long, you need to rethink the process. Or perhaps Carl was just angry as fuck and wanted to shout something before he was hanged.
Last Words Of: Chief Sitting Bull
Sitting Bull is of course best known for leading the Sioux tribe in their righteous whooping of General Custer's troops at the Battle of Little Bighorn. In the years since he became a performer in Wild West shows and a civil rights figurehead for the Native Americans and, we suppose, quietly wept over people thoughtlessly littering.
In 1890 the US Department of Extracting Blood From a Stone sent officials after Sitting Bull, out of fear he was going to stir up resistance among the Sioux in the area. Faced with 43 members of the Indian Affairs police, Sitting Bull refused to leave with them. He issued the above statement and somebody started shooting and things went downhill from there.
Chief Sitting Bull deserves double credit in this entry because he was also responsible for Custer's reputedly hilarious last words of "Hurrah, Boys! Let's get these last few reds then head on back to camp. Hurrah!" Seriously.
Last Words Of: George Engel, union activist and founder of the Socialistic Labor Party of North America
The 1880s didn't exactly embrace labor unions and based on some shaky evidence, George Engel was convicted for his role in a labor riot (resulting in the death of multiple policemen) and sentenced to be hanged.
Upon hearing that letters were sent to the Illinois governor requesting clemency on his behalf, he wrote his own letter asserting those wishes be ignored. It seemed a bit extreme, but when you have something this awesome to shout from the gallows you'd be loathe to dismiss it too.
Last Words Of: Giles Corey, farmer and accused witch, while being crushed with stones
According to colonial law, a person who refused to plead innocent or guilty of a crime could not be tried. This was particularly vexing to the courts when they had people accused of witchcraft, since they weren't going to torch themselves.
Their remedy for this was "peine forte et dure", the process where the accused was slowly compacted by rocks until a plea was entered. "Tough love" was pretty new back then and clearly had some refining left. Giles Corey, knowing he wouldn't be afforded a fair trial, challenged every plea request with the above "More weight," as in, "add more stones." He did this literally down to his last breath.
No matter how enormous the rocks they stacked on Giles, it's evident he was carrying the largest stones in the room before he even walked in.
Last Words Of: James French, convicted murderer
James French was already serving a life sentence in an Ohio prison in 1966 when he began to realize that life is a really long fucking time. Unwilling to complete his sentence and reportedly scared of suicide, he did the only logical thing: kill his cell mate in an effort to convince the state to execute him.
We're cool with someone wanting to be in control of their destiny, but did you have to be such a dick about it, James? Wouldn't a pretty-please-with-sugar-on-top-execute-me have sufficed? This was 1966 in Ohio, so all he really would have had to do is tell a guard "You know what I like? Black-white integration and homosexuality--lots of homosexuality!" and his fate would have been sealed well enough.
Regardless, these were his final words as being strapped into the electric chair. Puns aren't usually our thing, but pun + capital punishment = funny.
Last Words Of: Che Guevara, revolutionary
While the adult male body is composed of about 50 percent water, Che replaced nearly all of that with equal parts "myth" and "legend." History has rewarded him by allowing his head to wind up on millions of t-shirts worn by college-age malcontents.
There is ample debate as to whether these were his true final words. Luckily we here at Cracked have many internet-renowned historians who have scoured both articles on Wikipedia in working to confirm it.

The Casa dos Passarinhos apartment is situated in the district of Belém, a beautiful area of Lisbon close to the river and with spacious parks and green areas, and many museums, tourist attractions and sights. This area of Lisbon is just 15 minutes from the downtown center of the city, and provides a more tranquil setting for your stay in Portugal's capital.
The property is part of a long strip of very traditional, historic buildings, on a pedestrian walkway which makes the area very peaceful and quiet, and which serves as an esplanade for a series of good restaurants and their terraces. You can sit outside here and enjoy some good Portuguese food, or take a peaceful stroll around the park.
Belém is home to many major tourist attractions: the majestic Jerónimos Monastery, the historic Belém tower, the celebratory Monument to the Discoveries, the Berardo Museum for modern and contemporary art and many other major sights and attractions.
The impressive 16th century Mosteiro dos Jerónimos is Vasco da Gama's resting place, and is located just round the corner from the apartment, 3 minutes' walk away. The Belém Tower is nearby also and is perhaps Lisbon's most emblematic monument. For the culture vultures, there is the modern cultural center (Centro Cultural de Belém), Berardo Museum, the marvellous Coaches Museum, and the Maritime and Archeology Museums.
From this area of Lisbon, you can easily travel into the center of the city via the number 15 tram, or several buses. A taxi from the airport will take just 25 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.

We had wonderful time in Lissabon! Apartment was very nice, in the centrum of Lissabon, perfect for city trips and close to nice restaurants and caffe bars, in lovely Bairro Alto quarter. Our host was very simpatic and useful we had everything what we need. In Lissabon was very hot and we did not even use any air-conditioner because the walls of house were so thick that we had very nice temperature inside. Our bed was also very good.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Very nice & clean locatioan near the airport.
"Casa do Sol" have charm in a best place of Lisbon, Alfama. The flat have eveeything to be good and is located in a silence neighbourhood and good transport conection. Bruno is a Perfect contact and he've a lot of tips from Lisbon. VinhoVerde...simply Perfect!!!
The appartment is located in a pleasant neighbourhood of Lisbon. It a spacious appartment with enough room for 4 people and a nice little garden. The equipment in the kitchen, expected for a longer stay, is limited. The appartment is located in an older building, which on one hand creates a nice environment, but it can be noisy depending on the activity of the neighbours. And as we experienced in other appartments in Lisbon the beds are of a relative poor quality, good enough for a few days but less appropriate if you stay longer.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
I can recommend the apartment of Roger. Central location. Short walking distance to the city and Metro. Check-In was very good and on time, we even got a google map link with good nearby restaurants. Communication and support was perfect.
Only the cleanliness of bathroom (shower) and the kitchen cabinets could be better. John
Nice apartment with all you need, right in the centre so you can walk most. A (e-)bike rental just around the corner.
The shower suffices but could do with a renovation.
The neighbourhood is quite lively at night, so when you like silence have your meal outdoors until at least 10 pm. Bedroom has double glass.
Our cabdriver had difficulty finding the address (even with GPS) and he may find it easier to go to the tram 28 stop on Praca Martim Moniz, near the hotel.
This apartment has been canceled us a week before the start, as doubly occupied ?? !!
So a big minus for the owner over the apartment I can not say anything.
Roger was very helpful and always to reach !!!
Diese Wohnung wurde uns eine Woche vor Urlaubsbeginn abgesagt, da doppelt belegt??!!
Also ein dickes Minus für den Vermieter ,über die Wohnung kann ich nichts sagen.
Roger war sehr hilfsbereit und immer zu erreichen!!!
It was a great holiday in a great apartment, which is dimensioned very abundant for 2 people. The inner terrace we did not use, why even in the fantastic surroundings and the location near the Graca Miradouro?
Rui was very nice, tried to explain everything well and has in the meantime requested by SMS, if everything is in order and offered the day of departure to get a taxi, but what we do not need.
The apartment and location are highly recommended, even more so when you know the film by Wim Wenders, who plays in the immediate vicinity.
We'd stay at the apartment when we should go to Lisbon again.
Es war ein toller Urlaub in einer großartigen Wohnung, die für 2 Personen sehr üppig bemessen ist. Die innenliegende Terasse haben wir nicht benutzt, warum auch bei der fantastischen Umgebung und der Lage nahe des Graca Miradouro?
Rui war sehr nett, bemüht uns alles gut zu erklären und hat zwischendurch per SMS nachgefragt, ob alles in Ordnung ist und angeboten am Abfahrtstag ein Taxi zu besorgen, was wir jedoch nicht benötigten.
Die Wohnung und Lage sind absolut zu empfehlen, umsomehr, wenn man den Film von Wim Wenders kennt, der in unmittelbarer Nähe spielt.
Wir würden sofort wieder in der Wohnung übernachten, wenn wir nochmals nach Lissabon gehen sollten.

Chinese group Avic International's acquisition of Thielert, a bankrupt German maker of diesel engines for aircraft, may further delay Turkey's indigenous drone, the Anka, which would have been powered by Thielert's Centurion engine.
Avic has said it plans to fold Thielert into its Continental Motors division and is giving up military business. Deliveries have stopped, the state-run Chinese company announced in August.
The Ankara-based Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), which develops the Anka, had ordered the Centurion for a batch of 10 aircraft. Now TAI must look elsewhere to find a new engine to power Turkey's first indigenous UAV.
"This may not be an easy task although one option is to ask TEI [Turkish Engine Industries] to develop and produce a new engine," one TAI official said. Both TAI and TEI are owned by a military support fund.
Turkish procurement authorities were preparing to sign a contract to buy 10 Ankas. Meanwhile, the Turkish police force was also preparing to place an order for the Anka.
Before the engine snag, another problem delayed the Anka program. A locally-developed electro-optical sensor, made by military electronics firm Aselsan, did not fit Anka's specifications and TAI was mulling using a foreign sensor.
Thielert was supplying engines for aircraft including a US Army version of the General Atomics Predator. General Atomics has acquired the engine data package and intends to continue production and support.
The Anka successfully passed acceptance tests late in January. The final, decisive tests on Jan. 20-21 involved a full endurance, 18-hour flight, successful auto landing, data link performance at a distance of 200 kilometers under winds up to 45 knots, and night take-offs and landings.
The Anka has completed more than 150 flight hours. There is a possibility that TAI could develop a satellite-controlled version of the Anka, company officials say.
The Anka is a medium-altitude, long-endurance drone. Such UAVs usually operate for 24 hours at an altitude of 10,000 feet.
Anka, meaning Phoenix in English, is the first MALE-type UAV to be produced by TAI. One of the prototypes crashed during a test flight in September, but several other flight tests have been carried out successfully.
Anka+, another version of the Anka, calls for an armed vehicle, using a rocket attached to its body and sensors.
An industry expert said finding a new engine supplier may not resolve the entire problem immediately.
"Any new engine will have to be fitted into the Anka, which was designed for the Thielert engine. This will require new [engine] integration work. New tests should also be done," he said.
One procurement official familiar with the Anka program admitted that the engine problem may cause new delays.
"Even if we found a new [engine] supplier, this will mean further delays and extra costs," he said.

The Lamborghini Veneno is consistently focused on optimum aerodynamics and cornering stability, giving the Veneno the real dynamic experience of a racing prototype, yet it is fully homologated for the road.
The systematic, carbon-fiber, lightweight design is not only visible, it is also evident on the scales: With a power-to-weight ratio of 1.93 kg/hp (4,25 lbs/hp) and its forceful twelve-cylinder the Veneno guarantees a performance that is nothing short of mind-blowing.
Just like the front end, the rear of the Veneno has also been optimized for underbody aerodynamics and high speed cornering stability. The smooth underbody transitions into a substantial diffuser framing the four sizable exhaust pipes divided by a splitter to increase the level of downforce peak and thus the cornering performance.
Carbon fiber dominates the interior of the Veneno, too. The carbon fiber monocoque becomes visible inside the car in the area of the central tunnel and the sills. The two lightweight bucket seats are made from Lamborghini's patented Forged Composite. The lightweight woven carbon-fiber CarbonSkin® is used to clad the entire cockpit, part of the seats and the headliner. These measures help reduce the weight and increase the driving fun.

I have a question that I've been thinking about for a long time.
How can you assure yourself that you've fully comprehended a concept or the true meaning of a theorem in mathematics?
I mean how can you realize that you totally get the concept and it's time to move on to the next pages of the book you're reading?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
I suppose it is difficult to be completely sure and frequently there are several levels of "comprehending" and various interpretation for the "true meaning" of concepts and results. I can mention a few good signs: a) you swim like a fish in the notations around the concept/theorem, b) you can prove the theorem by yourself without seeing the proof first, or at least you can prove it after seeing the proof. And for a concept: you can come up with the proofs of the basic results about the concept. c) The concept/theorem looks natural to you and you could even see yourself discovering it. d) you can ask and answer (correctly) to yourself easy questions around the concept/result.
Of course, you should be prepared to situations that you think you have a full understanding and then you discover that you don't and you gain it again and lose it again... Having said that there is a certain feeling when it comes to problems/theorems/concepts of "I got it", the phase transition between not or vaguely understanding and a complete or almost complete understanding. You should be able to indentify this transition. (And problem-solving can give you a good practice.)
One good advice about this is to interact: compare your understanding with fellow students/colleagues, and dont be shy to ask questions.
(I cannot resist mentioning the story about a professor who complained to a colleague: I taught it once and the student did not understand; I taught it for the second time and they did not understand; Then I taught it for the third time and I understood, but they still did not understand.)
I like to take a playful attitude towards things. I try out the concept in various elementary or even trivial contexts at first, and see what happens. This is particularly useful when the result disagrees with what I had initially expected for the concept, since it leads me to revise my intuitions about the concept. But when it conforms with my initial expectations, then it lends support to those initial intuitions, building up my understanding. Then I can move on to more substantive examples. Gradually, by exploring the concept in a variety of these more substantive contexts, one arrives at a deeper understanding of the concept.
So eventually, it becomes clear, and you know it.
Nevertheless, I believe also that ultimately, one is never fully certain that a concept is completely understood. Surely we all at times learn new things about concepts that we thought formerly to be completely understood. Perhaps we have unknowingly considered examples only of a certain type, and therefore did not fully appreciate the possibilities and perhaps inadvertantly built incorrect intuitions that way. And while this sometimes happens, fortunately, for most of us it is rare.
So press on when you feel that you understand the concept and some principal examples, but be willing to reconsider things from the beginning when strange new examples come to light.
Try to explain the concept to others.
If they understand it also, then you may be sure you have a good grasp of what is going on. If they ask a natural question, and you cannot answer, then it may help you to rethink about the concept in a new way. They can also provide a different view on it, so as to enrich your understanding.
"Ce qui se concoit bien s'enonce clairement et les mots pour le dire viennent aisement" (Boileau)
[whatever is well conceived is clearly said... and the words to say it flow with ease.]
Although we all want to "understand the concepts", I would encourage you to measure how well you are learning mathematics not by whether you "understand a concept" or not (because this is in the end too vaguely defined) but by whether you can use what you have learned to do something useful. For students, this usually means doing the problems at the end of the section or chapter. For those using mathematics as a tool (like Steve Huntsman), it means writing software that uses the mathematics learned. For both students and professionals, it also often means working out the details usually via computations of examples that illustrate what you have just learned. And, of course, if you are or are striving to be a pure mathematician, it can also mean using what you learned to prove other mathematical statements you want or need.
If you are able to do any of these things with what you have just learned, then you should definitely move along to the next thing. Because, as others have already advised you, you might want to move along, even if you can't do anything useful yet. When learning mathematics, you should definitely try to be able to do something useful (e.g., work out examples and/or solve problems) with most of what you are learning. However, everybody runs into things that just don't sink in despite intensive effort. As long as you're learning most of everything else, it is often advisable to just move ahead and return later after you know more and are more experienced. Everything gets easier, if not on the second try, usually by the tenth.
There is a famous quote from John Von Neumann:
"In mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them."
I don't know for sure what this means but, perhaps it means that asking if you understand something is a question that does not really make sense, in fact your question is really asking: What is the definition of understanding. Such a question may be doomed from the start. Even if we could agree on some definition and you were to apply it to some mathematical concept I am sure that at some later time, after you have learned other things, your new perspective will make you feel like you never understood that concept anyway. So my advice is to take your concept and get used to it. Here are some ideas on how.
1)If it's a definition try to think up some examples and non-examples. The non-examples are especially useful when your concept is adding an adjective to something you already know; like adding "prime" to "number"
2) I it's a theorem try to identify exactly where the hypotheses are used in the proof, and try to think up counterexamples to the statement as you remove those hypotheses.
3) If there are exercises, ie if you are reading a textbook, try them. Even if you don't get to them all at least read the statements.
4) After you think you are used to your idea try to explain it to someone. This is a really good way to see if you have overlooked something.
5) As to the remark about moving on to the next few pages: Don't expect to go through a book line by line and not have to go back. The stuff later in the book may help.
In short if you work a lot with your concept it will cease to intimidate you. Don't worry about achieving understanding (equivalently seeing the true meaning), This will never happen, which is fine since it's the trying that is important anyway. So keep trying, and have fun doing so!
I like to try and disprove results I am trying to understand.
Sometimes I'll give it a good month- I start by constructing perverse sequences and little heuristic arguments- when I'm onto something good I'll pursue it 'til it's rigorous: more often than not it turns out to be precisely the case disallowed by the theorem's assumptions.
After a while I start to paint my counter-arguments in generalities "An A is not a B if A has perversity X" and I look for the exact line in the proof where 'perversity X' is (perhaps implicitly) dealt with and debunked. Sooner or later I start to see what every line in the proof is for, moreover I start to see why it must be true.
It may not be the fastest way to learn, but it's certainly entertaining if you're having trouble sleeping!
One can also apply the same trick to definitions and constructions by trying to prove that they are useless/degenerate.
I usually feel that I best understand a construction (versus a proof) when I can successfully implement it in code (note that this is not to say the converse: that I wouldn't understand something I hadn't coded). I have found in practice that programming causes you to confront details and highlights phenomena that would often otherwise be quite obscure or even "deep". The best things about this are the lack of ambiguity about whether or not code works and the ability to isolate bugs and highlight areas of the construction that are still (perhaps unexpectedly) unclear.
You cannot, because you never will. There is always more to understand about any given topic.
By "understanding" a piece of mathematics, do you mean:
If you said 'yes' to one or more of the above, then your interpretation of the activity of "understanding mathematics" --- and yes, it is an activity --- has a lot in common with, and may in fact be identical to, the enterprise of mathematical research. That is: mathematical research is no more or less than the attempt to better 'understand' our own mathematical ideas, and how they may be fruitfully applied: both to others of our mathematical ideas, and to more "empirically-inclined" situations.
Furthermore, Turing and Gödel demonstrated that this endeavor is sufficently complicated that it cannot be grasped by any algorithmic approach (at least as we currently understand the concept of an 'algorithm'), and the independence of various 'interesting' propositions from our favourite axiom-systems entail that it is open-ended, i.e. it requires creativity and aesthetic taste on our part as to what mathematical ideas are interesting.
Understanding mathematics is the limit of an unbounded process; it doesn't 'happen', and it cannot 'happen'. The best you can do is to simply engage in the activity.
Here is a strategy that has worked well for me.
Take a result you want to understand and try to prove it on your own.
If you succeed, great! If not, peek at the beginning of the proof and close the proof the moment you reach an insight you weren't able to think up on your own. Try to prove this insight, and try to complete the proof with this insight at hand.
If you succeed, great! If not, repeat.
In my experience, trying and failing to prove a result gives you a good appreciation of the proofs that do work. Constructions which might otherwise seem artificial often make sense as overcoming some barrier or other that you stumbled upon.
I am going to address an aspect of your question that most other respondents seem to have overlooked. It sounds to me that you're asking, how do I know that I've understood a particular concept well enough to be able to turn the page and keep reading?
I know some students who get bogged down when reading mathematics because they feel they have to understand each line thoroughly before they can proceed to the next line. While this style works for some people, for most people, this is usually not the best way to absorb a piece of new mathematics.
When I am trying to learn a new piece of mathematics, I usually start by latching onto an important theorem and making it a goal to understand that theorem. The theorem might not be stated right at the beginning, but I will turn ahead to see what the theorem says. If the theorem uses terminology that I am not familiar with, then I will go back and look for the definitions of those terms. Sometimes, to understand the definitions, I have to understand some preliminary lemmas, so I will turn to those lemmas and iterate the process. So instead of reading forwards, I often read backwards. On this pass, I will also usually skip the proofs. Only when I have a good sense of the overall structure of the paper or the book chapter, and know where I'm heading, will I then start reading line-by-line.
If you adopt this method of reading, then it will usually be clear when you're ready to move on to the next step, because you'll be reading with a purpose.
If you have a colleague to hand who doesn't know about the idea you're trying to understand but has the appropriate background, then that's brilliant, because you can test your understanding by trying to explain it to them. Similarly, when I've had occasion to write up brief expositions or notes for a talk on a topic, I find it allows me to efficiently identify and dispel many of the little uncertainties and misunderstandings that pop up in great numbers when you first learn about something. It may be overkill, but if you can do that kind of thing rigorously and thoroughly without your intuitions changing, then you can certainly congratulate yourself on knowing what you're talking about.
Charles Sanders Peirce gave the following advice for increasing the clarity of one's concepts:
This is called the Pragmatic Maxim or the Maxim of Pragmatism and there came to be a school of philosophy founded on it. Variations on the same theme and a bit of exposition can be found here.
Mathematically speaking, this is a maximally general form of representation principle. A less comprehensive form of it leads to the principle of operational definition that began to exert some influence in science beginning most prominently with Percy Bridgman.
I think I understand a theorem if I can reconstruct the hypotheses remembering only the conclusion. Likewise, I think I understand a theory if the axioms all seem reasonable and obvious.
However, you can't really get this on a first reading. I usually allow myself to proceed if the proof of the theorem catches my interest enough to read the details, or seems too trivial to bother with. If I don't think I could do it but don't care to learn, then I obviously don't appreciate enough of what I have been reading to seriously try reading more.
Perhaps the ultimate test is if you can use said theorem for something.

The rule of fist mention is used by various forms of allegorical interpretation. Rather than inventing an allegorical meaning, clues are taken from the first mention.
For example: Garments are interpreted to represent either righteousness, or works based upon the first mention of garments in Gen 3:
Ge 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they [were] naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
What is the biblical authority for using such a method?

GXT and Highcharts and Chart not rendering
I'm evaluating Highcharts and have a basic GWT Web Application with a GWT-Highcharts Chart, a ContentPanel, Portlet, and PortletLayouContainer. The Chart is added to the ContentPanel. The ContentPanel is added to the Portlet. The Portlet is added to the PortletLayouContainer. And the PortletLayoutContainer is added to the RootPanel.
When the project is run either in development mode or compiled mode, all widgets render correctly but the Chart does not render correctly until after the Portlet is grabbed with the mouse and then released. The chart seems to be rendered (correctly or not), but only about 25 pixels of it is displayed at the far left end of the ContentPanel.
If I remove the GXT widgets and add the Chart to the RootPanel, it renders correctly on load. So any ideas of what the problem might be.
3 Jul 2012 2:55 AM #2
Hi Rule,
i have the same problem - any solutions so far ??
3 Jul 2012 12:30 PM #3
The chart has to be added after the container it is added to has been rendered (read: sized). The way I accomplished this was by using GWT Scheduler to defer adding the chart to the container until after the container rendered.
