Following this answer, I was wondering whether it would make sense to force answers to CW along with the question. All previous reputation will be kept, but no new reputation will be gained.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
This reminds me of the Code Wedding Cake topic on StackOverflow. I was the first answer in there along with a few others who slipped in before the author changed it back to CW status and we continued to gain rep for it until we either hit our daily limit or some other users felt the urge to go in and continuously edit our posts until it automatically switched over (which I am pretty resentful of, I see the act of repetitive edits to force a CW switch a form of abuse).
As far as your answer, I don't necessarily see any problem with it aside from a slightly greedy perspective, so overall I wouldn't be bothered if it stayed the way it is now or was revised.
Also currently moderators can convert questions to CW, which switches both the questions and the answers. If it is really an issue with a particular question flag it for moderator attention and the problem is solved.
I'd like to bump this question for a further review from the meta community.
I just finished a search for this topic after having received rep from an answer to a question that had previously been made CW got me wondering why my answer hadn't automatically gone CW along with the question.
I belive it would be a good idea to CW all answers to a question that is later marked CW, even though it originally had not.
I'm not so much concerned with rep as I am with the fact that Community Wiki has inconsistent behavior. An answer to a question that has been marked CW is automatically (and unavoidably) marked CW, effectively ensuring that all answers are CW as well. An answer to a question that was not CW when the answer was posted but the question is later marked CW leaves a gap in this behavior whereby one or two answers are not CW, but the rest are.
I think this creates a situation that is against the spirit of CW. Those non-CW answers are no longer editable by any but high-rep users.
Anyway, two cents a little late on an old issue, but since I haven't seen a mod comment on this topic, I thought maybe it had simply slipped under the radar.
There are a lot of triggers that cause CW mode, notably multiple edits to the question will eventually force it into CW mode.
This trigger, and some others, shouldn't necessarily cause the answers to go into CW mode.
Given that this is not a significant problem, and not all CW triggers should cause existing answers to go into CW, I'd say flag them for moderator attention and let the mods deal with it on a case by case basis.

Let $S$ be a finite group with operator + and $\pi$ be a permutation on $S$. Then what is the probability that $\pi(x) + x$ is injective over choices of $\pi$?
The concrete instantiation I'm interested in is $S=$GF$(2^n)$ for fixed $n > 0$. (Computer Scientists call this "xor on $n$-bit strings.")
For $n=1$ we have two permutations, neither of which produce an injection. For $n=2$ we have 24 permutations, 8 of which induce an injection so the probability is 1/3.
Here is an example $\pi$ for $n=2$:
$$\pi(0)=0,\ \pi(1) = z,\ \pi(z)=z+1,\ \pi(z+1)=1.$$
Here notice that $\pi(x) + x$ produces $0$, $z+1$, $1$, and $z$, respectively, which is an injection.

Soul Sacrifice Delta, Freedom Wars and Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines being localised for PS VitaWritten by: / / 2 Comments
There haven't been very many PS Vita exclusives released over the past year but Sony recently confirmed that it will be publishing three new Japanese titles for the platform in North America and Europe: Soul Sacrifice Delta, Freedom Wars and Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines. The first two of these games will be released during 2014, with Soul Sacrifice Delta out on May 13th in the US and May 14th in PAL territories. Interestingly, all three titles are being produced with SCE Japan Studio's involvement.
Soul Sacrifice Delta is a hugely expanded version of the original game featuring a new faction, new Archfiends inspired by dark retellings of classic fairy tales, and various improvements such as dynamic arenas and improved enemy AI. If you've invested countless hours in Soul Sacrifice then you'll be pleased to know that your progression can carry over to this upcoming release.
Freedom Wars is a unique take on the multiplayer action RPG genre that's enjoyed so much success in Japan over the past decade. Set in a dystopian world which harbours prisoners such as the character you play as, you'll need to complete civilian rescue missions to whittle away at your prison sentence. Up to four players can play via ad-hoc and eight players via online as you enjoy an intense blend of action, shooter and strategy gameplay.
Finally, Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is the sequel to the original PlayStation title released in Japan in 1999. This RPG features a beautiful art style and an intriguing setup whereby you assume control of an ancient Japanese clan that has been cursed with a maximum lifespan of two years. The game's plot revolves around your quest to lift this curse with the help of your clan, and you can also call on gods inspired by Japanese mythology to strengthen and prolong the lives of each subsequent generation of your tribe.
Which of these titles will you be picking up when they're eventually released in the West? Let us know in the comments.

MIME types is basically a way of saying "this string of bits should be interpreted/processed as X" so it's equally viable for files and transfers. The more common way of doing this for files is by file extension.
You seem to be asking "is software X doing anything special based on the mime type setting?" without saying what X is.
This totally depends on your application. MIME is made for and is most common for E-mail, but it's also common for the web (http) and in some NoSQL databases.

News Release (Back to Menu)
Rutgers–Newark Law School Class of 2013 Eagleton Fellows
Six Rutgers School of Law–Newark students have been selected as Eagleton Fellows for the 2012-2013 academic year. The Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University awards one-year fellowships annually through four related programs: Harold and Reba Martin Fellowships, Henry J. Raimondo Legislative Fellowships, Governor's Executive Fellowships, and an Eagleton Alumni Fellowship.
The program, which boasts more than 1,500 alumni, is open to all Rutgers graduate students with an interest in politics and government. The fellowships are designed to complement academic study; fellows work toward their graduate degrees without interruption. During the fall students take a seminar in applied politics to prepare them for the spring semester, when they are placed with an office in the New Jersey legislature, the Governor's Office, an executive agency, or other government-related office for at least 15 hours a week.
Following is a profile of the law school's 2012-2013 Eagleton Fellows:
Whitney English '13, a Governor's Executive Fellow, received her B.A. in journalism and mass communications with a minor in history from New York University. Prior to law school she worked for Teach for America and Credit Suisse. In summer 2011 she participated in a legal internship program at AT&T and last summer she was an Education Pioneers Fellow at the New York City Department of Education. English is a managing editor of the Rutgers Law Record, a recipient of the Association of Black Women Lawyers Scholarship Award, and a member of the Minority Student Program Student Committee. She seeks to use her law degree to have an impact in the fields of education law and employment law.
Randy Gray '13, editor-in-chief of the Rutgers Computer & Technology Law Journal, earned a B.A. in political science and English from Wake Forest University, where he was the founder of the English Student Association. His professional experience before entering law school included working as a staffer for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as a member of the Senate Democratic Communications Center press team, and as a digital communications specialist at Emanate. Last summer he was a law clerk for the New Jersey Attorney General's office in the Division of Youth and Family Services. Gray is a Henry J. Raimondo Legislative Fellow and will be placed in the Senate Majority Office in the spring.
Michael Habash '14, whose interests include law enforcement, national security, urban planning, and healthcare policy, graduated from North Carolina University with a B.S. in criminology. In 2009 he deployed with the U.S. Army in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and is currently a captain in the New Jersey National Guard. Habash was also a municipal police officer in Wilmington, North Carolina and acted as the lead planner authoring the department's National Disaster and Terrorism Response Plan. As a law student he has interned with Alcatel-Lucent and for Judge Phillip S. Stranarie, Civil Court of the City of New York. Awarded a Henry J. Raimondo Legislative Fellowship, he will work in the Office of Legislative Services this spring.
Charis Orzechowski '13, editor-in-chief of the Rutgers Law Record, received a B.A. in political science from the State University of New York at New Paltz. She has worked as a legal intern for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and for the office of the general counsel at the Office of the Secretary of Transportation, U.S. Department of Transportation. After almost 10 years as a tractor-trailer driver, she has a strong interest in how government helps create, sustain, and regulate transportation and transportation infrastructure and hopes to pursue a career that helps the Northeast region of the United States in meeting and exceeding its mobility goals. Orzechowski is a Governor's Executive Fellow.
Henal Patel '13 graduated summa cum laude from Rutgers University where she majored in English and history. She is the managing editor of the Rutgers Computer and Technology Law Journal, a Kinoy-Stavis Public Interest Fellow, and a member of the Rutgers Moot Court Board. She also served on a team of students that provided legal support to Dean John Farmer in his role as the 13th member of the New Jersey Congressional Redistricting Commission. Patel has been a summer associate at McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter, at judicial intern for Bergen County Superior Court Judge Joseph Conte, and an intern with the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office. She is a Henry J. Raimondo Legislative Fellow and will work at the Office of Legislative Services.
David Vitali '14, president of the Rutgers–Newark Federalist Society, majored in political science and public policy at Ramapo College. As an undergraduate he interned for U.S. Congressman Scott Garrett and worked on the State Senate campaign of Thomas Kean, Jr. Before attending law school he worked for the mass property tax revaluation firm Appraisal Systems, Inc. Last summer Vitali interned for Assignment Judge Travis L. Francis and Presiding Judge Jamie D. Happas, both of the Superior Court, Middlesex County, and worked for the New Jersey Assembly Republicans' staff. He will be placed at the Assembly Minority Office in the spring and as a Henry J. Raimondo Legislative Fellow.

Some take the position that some knowledge is the work of Satan. Some take the position that critical analysis can strengthen good ideas and weaken bad ones. Should Christians seek out information that is antithetical to their faith?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
If I may, here is my idea of the scientific view: yes, it can. If you look for arguments against Christianity, thinking that you may find some, but you don't find any, this is evidence in favor of Christianity.
Evidence, you see, is all about correlation. Whether or not your shoes are untied is strongly correlated to whether or not they appear to be untied. So, when you see that your shoes appear to be untied, you can conclude, with great certainty, that they actually are untied.
Likewise, Christianity is correlated with arguments. Whether or not Christianity is true is correlated with whether or not there are good arguments against it. If there are good arguments against it, this is evidence that it is false; if there are not good arguments against it, this is evidence that it is true.
The truth should not hide from argument.
Truth is like an anvil: you should be able to take the biggest hammer you have and bang on it all day and not break it.
Simple Answer
It is how Lee Strobel and Josh McDowell came to Christ
You can read their books it is very good at explaining their story
A case for Christ
Evidence that demands a verdict
They both where skeptics who did not believe in Christianity, but they investigated the evidence and found out that Christianity has a lot going for it.
I second that one...something tells me the answer has something to do with Faith...here's a link to what I found that helped me (in my blog): Religion is never the sort of thing you can narrow down by arguments, that's why it's based on Faith...
You'll have about as much luck proving that your wife loves you by arguments and logic as you will proving that God exists or that God loves you.
You'll drive yourself crazy trying to do that.
If you seek out knowledge that doesn't agree with what you believe, without having a sufficiently strong understanding of the foundations for your beliefs, then it would be easy to be led astray, as other beliefs also have some backing, otherwise they wouldn't be believed.
Also, you need to be careful about what evidence you are considering, as it is easy to read something that may appear true but is actually wrong, so your research will be flawed, without knowing that.
For example, if you read the book Roman Catholicism, you may think it is legit in it's attacks, but when you research you will find that it isn't.
If you truly want to look at other beliefs, your best bet is to be able to explain those beliefs to someone who does believe them, in a way that they agree that you understand what they believe. Once you can do that, then you can consider why are their beliefs not correct, but this is much harder than you may expect.
You will find many misconceptions spread about Muslims, for example, by people that claim to understand their beliefs, but are being less than truthful.
Your best bet is to read the primary sources these beliefs are based on, then, make certain you understand their beliefs, then critically analyze.
For those that want to defend Boattner can look at this for a rough idea: http://www.canapologetics.net/inventions.html
Yes. But sometimes it's painful information. Here's one example.
The Barna Group is widely considered to be the leading research organization focused on the intersection of faith and culture. Their surveys are quoted in various opinion pieces.
Here's one of the more recent surveys done by the Barna Group: Self-Described Christians Dominate America but Wrestle with Four Aspects of Spiritual Depth
If you're a church leader or pastor, this is some depressing reading. Here's one sentence from the survey:
You can read this survey and be pessimistic about what you're doing and whether or not you're helping people. You can read this survey and see that you have your work cut out for you as well.
It's not so much the information, as what you do with the information.
"Truth does not blush." - Tertullian
"The fear of scholarship is the mark of a false prophet." - Karl Barth
Christians should never be afraid of searching for the truth, and that if a Christian fears scholarly discussion of the faith, be careful because GOD wishes us to love him with all of our minds as well.
Just be careful, "the message of the cross is foolishness" (1 cor 1:18), apologetics may have their place but you really can't "convince" or argue someone into the Kingdom of God.
Seeking arguments against Christianity may be helpful to know what types of questions one might be asked. But if you are honestly seeking Truth, you need not worry about your faith, as Christians we believe that Jesus is Truth (He has said that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life).
I would like to finish with another quote from Karl Barth,
"Belief cannot argue with unbelief, it can only preach to it."
Proverbs advises to "seek wisdom". Knowledge as Wisdom is not "of the Devil". But it does suggest a practicality or a direction to that knowledge, in developing us as a mature disciple.
Proverbs 26 also gives two counsels about arguments with fools. It says both argue a fool on their own terms to show them their folly, and don't argue a fool on their own terms to avoid becoming as big a fool. This is not the textbook "contradiction" atheists make it out to be but illustrative of a tension on the principle upon which you should decide these things. You need the wisdom to know what end you're likely to achieve and to assess the pitfalls. And you have to be wise enough to know the gain and the risk of doing so.
If you over-judge your capacity to solve the God-level complex issues, you may be as big a fool. "Lean not unto your own understanding" is not counsel to not try to understand anything, but to not rely on your own capacity to know how successful an argument is. Regardless of which way you go, you will have expressed your character in humility or pride in honest assessment or overstepping.
God created the Tree of Knowledge; God holds all knowledge and wished not to burden us with the knowledge of Evil. I don't respect the reading ability of anybody who says that the Bible says knowledge is Evil. They're just people who find the lack of tensions simpler.
All that said, I have found it very valuable to find out what opponents of Christ say against Christianity, and I have either found godly rebuke or arguments to tear down strongholds. But if God has not given you those tools, be at peace. The richness of the Spirit means that not everybody has to have the same analytical capacity. That everybody needs the capacity to answer for their beliefs is an idol from the atheists of the world.
Remember that everything is permissible, but not everything is profitable. Don't fear "knowledge", just realize that what can be regarded as "knowledge" does not necessarily get you to your destination.

[4.2.0 beta 2] Auto layout issue
Ext version tested:
- Ext 4.2.0 beta 2
- Chrome
- <!DOCTYPE html>
- A simple operation - hiding a tool - causes relayouting of all the topper containers.
- The issue seems to be relevant to the default "auto" layout only, because setting up, for example, "fit" layout causes a container to be not relayouted.
- I should also say that I recently saw The Ext JS 4 Layout System presentation by Jamie Avins and, actually, I understand why layouting bubbles from a child. But I am not sure it should bubble in this case. Maybe it just requires a fix in the "auto" layout.
- I also understand that it can be very difficult to implement a generic way to determine parents should be relayouted or not. I just reported it to you to look at. Maybe, there is a bottleneck of performance.
- Click the Button

This is something we've been investigating internally, it's very difficult to do so in a generic manner, but it's something we're looking to improve over time.Evan Trimboli

Nice to hear that. Thank you.
I am sorry to ask you here, but these ones seems to be escaped from the attention of the ExtJS team.

Keeping Parks Safe
Did you know you can use the Find My Local application to find Parks near you or to find the name of the park that you need.
Our parks and open spaces are open to everyone and are used for a wide range of activities, such as sports, play, walking, wildlife watching, picnics and outdoor events. Parks that are well used by all sections of the community are generally safe, healthy and enjoyable places to be.
Wherever possible parks sites are maintained by site based staff – Park Rangers or Park Keepers – who will assist with any enquiries or concerns reported by customers. Sites that are not staffed are visited regularly by Grounds Maintenance Service Providers to carry out maintenance activities and routine inspections e.g. playgrounds and lifebelt checks at parks pools. Site risk assessments are carried out annually and we regularly inspect our facilities to make sure they are safe and in good condition but we also rely on our customers to let us know of any problems. Please use the Request Building Facility Repair button to do this for features such as paths, seats, and park buildings and the Report a playground fault/hazard button to report problems with playground equipment/safety surfacing.
As well as ensuring that the facilities in our parks are safe we also seek to ensure that the activities that take place in parks do not cause any nuisance or danger to other users. There are restrictions on what people can do in parks that are set by local laws or Byelaws. Some activities such as holding funfairs and community events are allowed only with prior permission of the Council. For more information on this see the Use of Parks page.
We try to manage parks and park activities to benefit as many people as possible but sometimes conflicts can arise between different uses. If you wish to report an incident which has caused nuisance, danger or damage to other users in a park please use the Report Incidents/Accidents button.
- Damaged or dangerous facilities
The sort of information that we need you tell us is:
- What needs to be repaired
- Which park it is in
- Whereabouts in the park
- Is the condition of the item causing problems to park users
- How the damage occurred (if you know)
We will inspect the facility and prioritise its repair according to the risk it poses to people and property . If we don't have the resources to carry out a repair immediately then we will make it safe by restricting public access (for instance, using fencing and/or warning signs or by removing or demolishing the feature).
- How can we get a new playground?
Playgrounds are designed to meet stringent safety guidelines. All outdoor children's play areas in parks comply with current safety legislation BS EN 1176 ( tested in accordance with BS EN1177 )This restricts the amount and type of play equipment which can be used in a children's play area and the need for safety surfacing and makes building and maintaining them expensive.
The best source for funding for a new playground is through "Planning Gain", also known as Section 106 funds. Speak to your local elected members to see if your area has access to these funds
- Where can I find out what activities are allowed in Parks?
There are Bye Laws which identify what activities are prohibited in Parks. There are three sets - one for Birmingham Parks, one for parks in Sutton Coldfield and a third set that applies to Lickey Hills Country Park - but all are broadly similar. (See attachments)
- What are the Bye Laws?
These are local laws made by the Council which give officers powers to issue penalties and act to protect property and individuals. There are 3 sets of Byelaws – Birmingham Parks, Lickey Hills Country Park and Sutton Coldfield Parks.
- What is the policy on dogs in parks?
Please see the Dogs in Parks Policy attachment below.
- How often do you check the condition of parks features?
Every Park and open space has a formal risk assessment and condition survey at least once a year. Staff also record any problems that they see whilst they are out and about inspecting the grounds maintenance work and checking on problems reported by members of the public. Sites that have Park Keepers or Ranger staff will be checked on a more frequent basis.
- Why have you removed the feature and not replaced it?
It's not always possible to carry out a repair immediately – it may be that the necessary parts and equipment are not available, or that there is not enough money. Some buildings and features have restrictions, which means that specialist advice and contractors are needed. Sometimes it's safer to remove a bench or demolish a building until resources can be found, rather than leave it in a dangerous condition .
- Why do you maintain some garden fences and not others?
The City Council is not responsible for providing a boundary fence or hedge to stop people getting into private gardens unless we are legally covenanted to do so. In a very small number of cases the Council is responsible for a boundary and may choose to fence it, but in most cases it is the householder's responsibility to protect their own property.

The ninth day of deer hunting was cold and windy. It was also void of deer. Louise decided to join me on this last day of the hunt wearing every piece of clothes she owned. Covered in orange we sat in the deer stand waiting for the impossible. Coffee, donuts, sandwiches and a good book waited because our fingers were frozen. After two hours facing a stiff northwest wind and the coldest day so far of the season we climbed down and moved through the woods to the creek. Hunkered down under the bank, out of the wind and and in the sun we had found a different world. It was warm. Reading without gloves is comfortable and so is eating a sandwich. The day before was the warmest of the nine with just a slight breeze and was made for a nap along a fence line with a view. The hunting pressure was light all weekend and there was little moving. At 2 p.m. we decided to pull up stakes and go home early. The deer stand came down fast and packed out with the rest of our gear. The season was over. The stewpot will be empty and our only hope is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the rest of the year.
It's nice to have the election over. Whatever we expected, hoped for and needed doesn't matter now. With one party in control of both state and federal governments, there should be nothing but results with no one standing in the way.

Teacher to a student: "Can you think of a solution to end unemployment?"
"Yes, sir! I'd put all the men on one island and the women on another."
"And what would they be doing then?"
"Building boats!"

Many are saddened by the four words "It might have been." It is always true that something else might have been, but what shouldn't be forgotten is that virtually all of what eventually was wouldn't have been either. The trade is seldom one that a wise person would make.

Safety of E-Cigarettes
Last Modified: March 22, 2012
Are smokeless, electronic cigarettes harmful in terms of causing health problems?
Carolyn Vachani, RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink Nurse Educator, responds:
Jared Weiss, MD, an oncologist at UNC Cancer Center, previously addressed this for us: I looked into this question recently and the quality of data is poor and does not allow a definitive answer to this question. The FDA recently evaluated the question and expressed concern. I am also not an expert on e-cigs (I am not sure that anyone properly is), but I do know that nicotine itself is a confirmed mutagen. Mutagens are chemicals that cause mutations, or changes in DNA. A normal body cell becomes a cancer cell by acquiring mutations in several keys genes (which ones vary from cancer to cancer). In addition, there was some stuff at World Lung this year on lung cancers actually bearing receptors for nicotine, raising the idea that nicotine itself could help drive their growth. Therefore, while I suspect that e-cigs may be less harmful than "real" cigs, they probably are not harmless.
The FDA is looking into these and says they are planning to regulate them in the future. This has some helpful links at:

On MacOS X I can access other drives under "/Volumes". Where do I have to go for the same under Ubuntu 9.04?
I believe that Ubuntu places volumes for extra drives under
You can type
Mostly under
As an aside (for those mostly familiar with MS operating systems) Unix doesn't have the concept of a drive in the way that you would see
Traditionally removable devices such as CD-ROMs or USB drives are mounted on points that live under
Look up the man pages for
Assuming they are mounted, they can be found under /mnt, if not, you would have to first mount the device.
If it is a hard disk or a cd-rom drive, you have to figure out which device it is, and then mount it. You could mount it anywhere you want.
For example:
It's worth noting that in addition to
If the volume isn't mounted typing "sudo fdisk -l" in a terminal will list all the drives and partitions that are connected to the system. Typing "mount" with no options will show you what partitions are mounted where along with some other information.
To mount an drive that's not automatically mounted you can go to "Places-->Removable Media" or "Places-->Computer" at the top and when you select an unmounted partition it should mount it for you. If that doesn't work you can type "sudo mount /dev/ /" As long as the partition is labeled properly that should work. Otherwise you may need to supply the -t option with the file system that's on the partition. Check the mount man page for more options and examples.
A missing point here is what to do if it doesnt automount.
If you are just plugging in a drive (ie usb or firewire), then check dmesg and see which device it showed up as, and which partitions are available. You may have to manually mount it (ie mount /dev/sd[a-z][1-?] /path/to/mount/ ).

7 Amazing Movie Special Effects You Won't Believe Aren't CGI
As we've already discussed twice before, some directors will go to insane lengths to avoid using CGI, seemingly just so they can point at the screen during the premiere and say, "Yeah, a real guy totally did that." And now, thanks to our investigative efforts, you too can annoy people at the movies by telling them that, actually, that famous scene isn't CGI, they did it by ...
(There's plenty of CGI in Cracked's new Star Wars: Adventures in Jedi School miniseries. But we promise, the jokes are all Human-Generated.)
#7. The Dark Knight Rises -- They Actually Dropped a Plane
Some movie moments make you go "I bet that's CGI," while others are so insane that they leave you saying, "I hope it is." Case in point: The opening to The Dark Knight Rises, where Bane and his misfit gang of true believers hijack and crash a CIA plane by jumping from another C-130 plane, extracting their target, and then de-winging the CIA's ride in midair. That's the sort of crazy shit no one even thought about trying before CGI existed.
We're sorry to do this to your peace of mind, but we're afraid that a lot of what you just saw was real -- we guess Christopher Nolan could have used computer effects, but instead he got a real C-130 and tossed a bunch of real people out the back of it.
To set the mood, each stuntman had an earpiece where he could hear Nolan humming dramatic music.
For the interior shots where they absolutely needed to show the actors (the people they absolutely can't kill), Nolan simply put them in a moving fuselage set on the ground. The stuntmen, on the other hand, were a little more expendable, so Nolan shot their scenes on an actual piece of fuselage hung by a fucking helicopter over rural Scotland.
Stan Winston School of Character Arts
Or sometimes without the fuselage at all.
"Holy fuck, that's a little too much." -Stanley Kubrick's ghost
Hell, even when the time came to finally fake something, Nolan opted to show a little model plane losing its wings instead of resorting to CGI. And, obviously, they also used models for the part where the plane falls to the ground, because you can't do that kind of shit for rea-
"Models are for nerds."
No, wait -- they totally did that for real. Just fucking found an empty spot and dropped the better half of a plane from the sky.
FX Guide
The debris will remain there, a monument to Nolan's insanity.
The entire shoot was scheduled for nine days. Nolan did it in two, because fuck time, and fuck sanity, and most of all, fuck airplanes.
#6. Skyfall -- Fighting on (and Under) Speeding Trains
James Bond will do almost anything (and anyone), but he won't do CGI -- the filmmakers try to limit the computer effects to things that don't exist in the real world, like the invisible car or Denise Richards. This means that some of the most insanely dangerous scenes you saw in the latest Bond movie, Skyfall, were created the old-fashioned way.
For instance, remember the part where a full-size train smashes through a wall?
They did that for real. This was accomplished by hanging the train from inverted rails and then proceeding to smash that fucker through a wall. Because realism. Also, although they added Bond escaping from the train in post-production, Daniel Craig was actually on the set when this happened.
FX Guide
That's the second messiest penetration scene ever seen in a Bond movie.
Earlier in the film, there's a scene in which Bond massages a bad guy's kidneys with his fists on top of a speeding train. This was also filmed using practical effects, by which we mean that they actually had Daniel Craig and another guy kick each other's ass on top of a real train, supported by wires no thicker than your finger.
FX Guide
Not pictured: Two agents shitting themselves.
You can see the wire on the last picture -- that's the only thing preventing the actor playing the bad guy from falling off. And yes, that's Daniel Craig himself going after him in the other pictures, not a stunt double. You can see his face more clearly in the trailerrific scene where he drops into the train from a giant hole in the wall, adjusts his cuff, and calmly walks off to pursue the bad guy -- that was all him, too.
FX Guide
For the sake of authenticity, he had to do this while completely shitfaced.
In fact, the only scenes where CGI was used heavily were the one where Bond has to fight a Komodo dragon and the one where MI6 blows up, since even James Bond can't blow up MI6 and get away with it. Yet.
#5. Tron (the Original) -- The Film Was Shot in Black and White, Then Hand Painted
Tron and the two-hour Daft Punk video masquerading as its sequel are famous for containing all of the CGI. That's the entire reason those movies were made, right? To show off the state of computer animation every 30 or so years?
To the original's credit, it took a lot less time for CGI Jeff Bridges to look this silly.
However, although the original film did contain some computer-generated effects, most of it was done by hand -- yes, even those bitchin' glowing blue suits.
To get the desired effect, the filmmakers had to employ cutting-edge technology ... from the 1930s. All the scenes set inside the computer were filmed entirely in black and white, after which they were turned back into individual cells that were hand painted in post-production. One by one. The process was long and tedious: First they had to enlarge each frame to a 14-inch still using a rotoscoping machine.
"Great, now get me 40,000 more."
Then they'd put that image through another process to make it transparent.
The same complex effect you can now achieve by just highlighting the previous picture.
Using this technique, they could isolate different parts of the image, like the faces, the costumes, and the part they wanted to fill with funky neon veins. They then photographed each element on its own and finally put everything back together -- the simplest images had around six layers, but others had up to 30.
We got arthritis just looking at this.
So, that's 75 minutes of film at 24 frames per second. Using basic math, that means that they animated around 108,000 individual cells, each of which was composed of six to 30 different parts. This process was such a pain in the ass that animating a two-minute reel took the team two months, and they still had 73 more minutes to go ... so they just sent that shit to Taiwan and had some guys in a warehouse do it for them.
That's not Pac-Man, that's the Chinese symbol for "HELP US."
#4. The Spider-Man Films -- Real Web Slinging and Spider Reflexes
The makers of last year's Amazing Spider-Man reboot wanted desperately to make the movie as different as possible from the previous Tobey Maguire Spidey films, other than, you know, when it came to the plot and the trailer and the everything. Or almost everything. One aspect where they took a vastly different approach was the web slinging -- whereas Sam Raimi used a whole bunch of CGI, the serendipitously named new director, Marc Webb, wanted to do it using stuntmen. Terrified stuntmen.
The cars below him were just covered in poop.
The effect was created by strapping a stuntman, or sometimes Spider-Man himself, actor Andrew Garfield, to a wire "no thicker than a bootlace" 60 feet in the air, which was connected to a winch on a rail. When they'd jump and reach the bottom of their swing, the winch would move down the rail, giving them a nice clean arc and unquestionably soiled underwear. Here's a clip of the system in action -- you can see the rails above at the beginning:
So in that scene where Peter Parker screams as he's learning to swing on a chain ... yeah, that probably didn't take a lot of acting.
In fact, he couldn't stop screaming for two days after that.
This isn't to say that the original movies had no practical effects whatsoever -- remember the part where Tobey Maguire catches Mary Jane's lunch like it ain't no thing?
The pudding's stuck on the ceiling.
Well, that's not CGI: They just put a sticky substance on the tray to make sure nothing slipped off and repeated the shot over and over until Maguire got it right ... which only took 156 tries. We're sure he wasn't intentionally blowing it to cop a Spider-feel or anything.

Chesapeake Energy says it has hired more than 600 veterans to fill high-paying jobs in the oil and natural gas industry through its 2012 military hiring initiative.
"Creating American jobs and hiring veterans to work in our oil and gas fields and in our offices has become central to our recruiting strategy," said Martha Burger, Chesapeake senior vice president of human and corporate resources. "Veterans perform well in our industry and share our company's commitment to energy independence. We hope to honor their talent, experience and military service with rewarding careers, while easing their transition to civilian life."
The team of recruiters that leads Chesapeake's military hiring initiative focuses most of its efforts on job fairs held on military bases and offers veterans direct access to recruiters through a veterans-only e-mail address, the company said.
Of the more than 600 veterans hired this year, many filled positions in the field: Performance Technologies, a Chesapeake affiliate, recruited veterans to make up more than 30 percent of its 2012 new hires. Veterans also filled one in five Chesapeake operating jobs in 2012.
Mike Hostetler joined Chesapeake in January as a field engineer after serving six years of active duty in the Air Force. Working out of Chesapeake's Canton office eased Hostetler's transition to civilian life.
"Chesapeake's core values reflect many of my own personal and professional values," Hostetler said in a release issued by the company. "There are plenty of companies that appear to shy away from hiring veterans, claiming that our skill sets aren't easily translatable. Fortunately, Chesapeake sees service members as we are; unpretentious leaders, attentive professionals and people that get the job done. The company not only recognizes the value of my active duty military experience, but also provides opportunities to enhance that experience in a challenging and rewarding industry."
The company said its support for veterans goes beyond hiring. In 2012, the company created a Troop Connect program to provide resources and networking opportunities to veterans within Chesapeake.
"As we hired more veterans, we came to realize the value that they gain by having a way to connect with each other. Through Chesapeake's Troop Connect program, we are able to provide an avenue for our veterans and their families to share common experiences and form a strong community," Burger said.
Chesapeake will honor its more than 1,200 military employees on Veteran's Day by issuing commemorative challenge coins to each veteran. Military service personnel also will receive a letter of gratitude from Chesapeake's CEO, a pin and a hard hat sticker.
Chesapeake offices, including Canton, will host special receptions for their local employees who are veterans.
In addition to internal veteran support, members of Chesapeake's military relations team work to prepare all veterans for the work force. Chesapeake partners with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Hiring Our Heroes program and serves on the national Veteran Employment Advisory Council. Through these initiatives, the company encourages its vendors to hire veterans. The company also supports disabled veterans by conducting regional presentations about transitioning into the workplace; is an active participant in the Yellow Ribbon reintegration program focused on National Guard members; and is a member of the White House's Joining Forces program.

News and recent developments
- September, 2010: The SolSource solar oven wins 500K EU in the Green Challenge. Once again the SolSource has impressed the jury, and won the Dutch, Postcode Lottery Green Challenge. The Postcode Lottery Green Challenge award is a startup competition run by the Dutch Postcode Lottery with 500,000 EU ($666,200 US) up for grabs for the winner and 200,000 EU ($260,500 US) for the runner-up. All entries must have the potential to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in a measurable fashion. From an impressive field of young entrepreneurs, the jury chose 25-year old Scot Frank of One Earth Designs as the winner for his company's SolSource solar oven. The SolSource is a solar cooker, heater, and electricity generator. It was inspired by the time Frabj spent in the Himalayas (the product has been tested there for 3 years), where women spend many hours a day collecting dung and wood fuels for cooking and heating. This process leads to deforestation, and many tribes in the Himalayas are rapidly running out of their traditional fuel sources. Families also breathe toxic indoor air pollution from the fire. Indoor air pollution is one of the world's biggest killers of children under five, claiming 1.6 million lives per year. More Information...

"I believe evaluating TSCA sections 5 (new chemicals) and 14 (disclosure of data) is fundamental to judging progress in new technologies and manufacturing frontiers in our country," said Subcommittee vice chairman Phil Gingrey in a recent hearing on the matter.
The US House of Representatives Subcommittee on Environment and the Economy
continued its examination of the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) with a hearing yesterday on new chemicals regulation,
protecting confidential business information and general
The hearing built on the subcommittee's June 13 hearing on TSCA
Title I and focused on two key areas of the law: The regulation
of new chemicals and the protection of proprietary business
"I believe evaluating TSCA sections 5 (new chemicals) and 14
(disclosure of data) is fundamental to judging progress in new
technologies and manufacturing frontiers in our country,
said Subcommittee Vice Chairman Phil Gingrey (R-GA).
"American companies are on the cutting edge of chemical
innovation, and the new chemical structure in TSCA has allowed
us to lead the world. For example, the European Union's new chemical
requirements saw 3,000 new chemicals introduced, while the
United States saw six times as many new chemicals introduced
over the same period in time."
Testifying on behalf of the American Chemistry Council,
Craig Morrison, CEO of Momentive Performance Materials
Holdings, praised sections 5 and 14 of TSCA, urging Congress to
preserve these critical elements of the law.
"These sections provide an important regulatory framework
that protects health and the environment, and allows our
industry's innovative solutions to come to market," Mr.
Morrison said. "It is fair to say that sections 5 and 14 have
been partly responsible for the significant competitive
advantage the business of chemistry has in the US compared to
other countries and regions."
To fulfill its responsibilities under TSCA, the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires access to
substantial technical information to make scientific and
regulatory determinations. Mr. Morrison and Dr. Len Sauers, a
vice president for Procter and Gamble, both testified that the
EPA must balance the need to protect confidential business
information with the need for access to important health and
safety information.
"We rely heavily on the protection of confidential business
information afforded by Section 14 of TSCA to remain
competitive in the US and global marketplace," said Dr. Sauers.
"The challenge of a competitive marketplace and of earning the
right to win with consumers incentivizes us to continually
search for more sustainable innovations that meaningfully
improve the lives of our consumers and deliver real environmental benefits."
"The EPA cannot do the job we've given them to evaluate new
chemicals for introduction into commerce, or to evaluate new
uses of previously approved chemicals, unless chemical makers
provide the EPA some specific and sensitive information about
how the chemical is made and how its developers expect to use
it," said full committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI).
"At the same time, the EPA must be careful to not disclose that
information. Without information protection, there is no
incentive to innovate. Without innovation, the economy can't
grow and we can't create new jobs."

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals.

4.2.0Beta: Ext.data.Model, id management consistency
Hi all,
Thanks for the 4.2.0 beta release.
I have seen that id management has undergone significant changes compared to 4.1 version. It is not that I am against any improvement over the releases, on the contrary. But honestly, I cannot remember how many time such a fundamental feature has changed over time since the first release of the Ext 4 family.
What I would wish - before the final release of 4.2 - is a clear and well thought-through documentation on data.Model id generation (model.internalId, model.id, model.data.id) and the implication it has on other properties of the model (phantom in particular).
I know I can get this from the code itself, but I hope 4.2 is mature enough to make us developer feel confident that 4.3 and beyond will not yet again handle core features like this one in a different way.

I agree that it needs to be consistent.
What he have now is:
internalId is automatically assigned and never changes. It's what's used by SelectionModels so that when a new (phantom) record is added, and then synced with the server and acquires a real ID, the selection model still recognizes it as selected. The internalID never gets updated.
data.id will only be present if you leave the idProperty at its default of "id".
A model Field is created to encapsulate the idProperty. It's name is the idProperty value, and its mapping is too. So that obviously creates a data.<whatever> property.
In 4.2, the idProperty config may be a full Field configuration with mapping and name configs.
It may also have a convert config so that it can generate an identifier by aggregating and calculating based on other fields.
The identifying field is used as the value from getId()
I don't think model.id (the getObservableId) property is used for anything. I will ask the team and see if it can be removed.Search the forum: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=01...%3Az7of1ufqccu

Thanks a lot for this detailed answer !
The way I see this for the moment - and that was the reason for the post - is that I do not have the impression this part of the code is solid enough. I know it is a beta and beta are ... beta. But if this part is changed - let us be sure that it is once for good and for all ; )
For instance:
- internalId should be unique (according to the doc). If this is the case, why on earth derive it from passed arguments when id is set on construction. This can only lead to id clash.
- What is/are the criteria to decide if a record is phantom or not - it is not crystal obvious from the code.
- Is it really necessary to have an id() and a setId() method ? both modifying phantom property?
- what is the real added value of hasId() ?
- as for model.id - if it is not used otherwise, yes please remove it.

internalId is generated.
phantom property is cleared when the record gets a server-assigned ID. That is a real ID - the field configured to be the ID field.Search the forum: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=01...%3Az7of1ufqccu

Developing a Training Plan Part IV: Lifestyle - Page 2
The Fourth Corner Piece: Lifestyle
An elite runner's daily life often revolves around a routine schedule: eat, sleep, run and repeat. Incorporating a structured approach like this into your own training will not only provide more purposed training, but will also lead to enhanced performance.
As repetitive—and potentially boring—as this elite-runner lifestyle might sound, eating, sleeping and running are arguably the most important elements of training and the commitment extended to those areas often dictates progression and therefore success. Realistically, though, not everyone has the same amount of time, energy and money for training, so it's important to balance what is important to you independent of running with your training.
Like anything else, if you want to do well at something, like running, you must be committed to working hard and making decisions that reflect your goals. For example, my client Tanya is not a morning person. However, she lives in Arizona where temperatures this time of year average well over 100 degrees. The coolest time of day is between 4 and 5 a.m. She's training for a marathon and wants to run a PR (personal record) this fall and knows that there is no way she can efficiently complete her workouts in the heat of the day. So she forces herself to get up at 4 a.m. because she's committed to seeing the clock at the finish line read well under 3:50.
Simply setting an alarm for 4:30 a.m. won't always get you out the door. Recruiting friends to consistently run with is a great way to remain accountable to yourself, your training and your running partners. Creating an environment that is conducive to and supportive of your training greatly increases the likelihood that you'll follow through with your daily training plan. Additionally, surround yourself with like-minded people who have accomplished similar goals. Consider joining a running club, or hiring a running coach for both support and training advice.
What we do when we're not running can have a major impact on our performance. That's why adopting a lifestyle that is conducive to your training plan is so important. Your goal should be to maintain a healthy balance between managing your running and recreation (exertion) with eating and sleeping (recovery).
I encourage my clients to establish short- and long-term goals for a given training period. Having goals gives your training purpose and direction. Furthermore, when faced with opportunities that could affect training, I challenge my clients to ask themselves: "Is this going to contribute to or interfere with my goals?" I'm not necessarily advocating that your life revolve around running, but when you are in pursuit of something you value (a successful race finish for example), questioning your actions will make you a wiser contributor to your training investment.
In addition to working a full-time job and training for an ultramarathon, my client Jeanne also participates in Pure Barre, yoga and tennis and deejays for private parties. If she were to implement even half of these activities everyday, she would soon find herself literally sick and tired, performing marginally (if at all!) at any of her favorite activities. Thus, we work together to divide her daily time primarily between work and running and then add classes and gigs each week when she has the time and energy. Your energy level is limited, so manage it wisely to consistently run well.

In wikipedia, sheaves were first defined in the case of concrete categories (with usual identity and gluing axioms), then in the general case. (writing it as an "exact" sequence)
Do these two definitions agree? I find the definition for concrete categories case very strange, for if we consider a topological space of two points a,b with discrete topology, and let us consider a sheaf of topological spaces on it that assigns A to a, B to b. According to the "concrete-category-case" definition, we need the global sections to look like $A \times B$ such that the projection maps are continuous and nothing else. But if we look at the "equalizer" definition, we would require the global sections to carry the product topology as well.
So is wikipedia wrong? Or am I misunderstanding something? Thanks!
Edit: There is another not-quite-related question. In wikipedia, for the "equalizer" definition they require the category, where the sheaf's taking values in, to have products. Is this really necessary? In EGA Chapter 0 p.23 for example, the product is just "splitted", and we consider the large family of maps all together. It seems that these two approaches are just the same. Or am I wrong?

The Stroller: Ouch!
Published: Sunday, February 24, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 5:34 p.m.
Ann Moody of Spartanburg says "the usual suspects" continue to complain in The Stroller column about President Barack Obama. "For some reason they are never able to give him credit for anything and want to keep him from accomplishing any of his goals," she says. "If they will all just be patient until the next election, they may have the opportunity to elect someone just as inept as George W. Bush."
'SEE WHAT YOU GET': Bari Smith of Spartanburg just rolled his eyes when reading the suggestion that the gun-control crowd show they are sincere by selling their guns and using the money to buy a yard sign that reads, "Gun-Free Home." "It just says, 'Rob us first, as we can't protect ourselves cause we know you have the guns and we don't!' " responds Mr. Smith. "Let me clarify. I have guns at my house and will use them for my protection, so go ahead and advertise a gun-free home and see what you get."
ON THE ROAD: Who wants to go with The Stroller on our next On The Road trip to historic Savannah, Ga., plus a tour of the S.C. Statehouse and some delicious Southern fare promising no one will go hungry? You can get a reservation form either at the Herald-Journal or by calling our travel agent at 336-794-3233. Reservations for the April 28-30 trip are being accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, so don't dillydally.
'JUST WONDERING': Dennis Varner of Spartanburg tells that one day God was looking down at Earth and saw all of the rascally behavior that was going on. He called his angels and sent one to Earth for a time. When the angel returned, he told God, "Yes, it is bad on Earth. Ninety percent are misbehaving, and only 10 percent are not." God thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another opinion." So God called another angel and sent her to Earth for a time. When the angel returned, she went to God and said, "Yes, it's true. The Earth is in decline. Ninety percent are misbehaving, but 10 percent are being good." God was not pleased. He decided to email the 10 percent who were good. He wanted to encourage them and give them a little something to help them keep going. Do you know what the email said? OK, I was just wondering, because I didn't get one, either!
ODDS AND ENDS: Head on over to the Pizza Inn at Hillcrest on Thursday for a meal that will help the Dialysis Clinic Inc. staff raise money for the National Kidney Foundation. Ten percent of sales between 5 and 8 p.m. will be donated, and tips also will be given to the organization. Bring an appetite, and reach deep into those pockets for tips. • Folks at the American Legion home in Duncan Park have just refinished the main floor, and the place is ready for rentals, from weddings to birthday parties and other gatherings. It's one of the best-kept secrets in Spartanburg, and you can call 253-0376 for availability.

Does that mean that
- the wind will be coming from south-east (since wind direction is usually reported by the direction from which it originates)
or that
- the wind will be blowing to south-east (which is how I'd intuitively interpret "auf")?
In German the wind direction ("Windrichtung") is described in the same way as in English. In both languages the direction given is the direction the wind comes from.
In your example however we see the verb "drehen" with the preposition "auf". This indicates there was a change of wind direction but still the direction is where the wind comes from:
Yes, it means that the wind comes from south-east. Here are some other alternatives to say from where the wind comes.

I'm writing up some notes on the nLab about things like embedding spaces and infinite spheres and similar things (can't link to them yet as I haven't put them up yet). One aspect that crops up time and time again is the contractibility of some big space, such as an infinite sphere, and this almost always boils down to some special property of whatever topological vector space is sitting in the background.
This special property is the existence of a "shift map" which acts pretty much like the obvious shift map on a sequence space. So I'm going to refer often to pairs $(V,S)$ where $V$ is a locally convex topological vector space and $S \colon V \to V$ is a "shift map". A little more precisely, we want to have an isomorphism $V \cong V \oplus \mathbb{R}$, so that $S \colon V \to V$ is the inclusion of the first factor, with certain properties, the main one being that $\bigcap S^k V = \{0\}$. The obvious notation is that $(V,S)$ is a shift space, and that $V$ is a shiftable space, but if there's an already existent notation then I should use that.
So my question is that: is there a standard notation for any of these concepts? The map itself, the space that admits the map, and the pair.
A closely related concept that I'll also use a bit could be termed a split space. This would be a locally convex topological vector space $V$ with an isomorphism $V \cong V \oplus V$. So: same question for that.
Edit: As Bill Johnson hasn't heard of these, I've written the relevant pages. It may be that I've included some detail there that I didn't put here. If any further information comes to light, I'll edit the pages accordingly.
- Shift space and split space (this defines them)
- Embedding space (this uses them)

To the editor:
Being an employee of the Jefferson County Joint Vocational School, I often hear comments such as: "our son landed a job due to the training he received at the JVS." "Our daughter received her education at the JVS and is working at the local hospital. Thank you." Sometimes, when I am at the grocery store, people come up to me and say, "Hey, you work at the JVS, don't you? I want to share good news - my daughter is attending Eastern Gateway Community College and is doing well in her coursework." There are also days that I am in the mall and a former student will come up to me and with excitement say, "I have a job and I owe it all to my teachers at the JVS." I smile and say, "How wonderful."
Why is this important? One of the best bargains around is the Jefferson County Joint Vocational School. The JVS has 14 programs in which students can enroll - automotive body tech, automotive service technician, carpentry, computer networking, cosmetology, criminal justice, culinary arts, early childhood education and care, electrical trades, health technologies, interactive technology, multimedia and design, power mechanics and welding. Besides occupational training, students use technology in the labs and take academics and related course work that makes them college- and career-ready. They work hard to complete their career passport - a document that lists their skills, equipment they can run and their resume that is taken with them to job interviews.
In this tough economy, it is so nice to know that students who applied themselves while attending the JVS for two years can be prepared to enter college or become part of the work force. In the future, I hope to hear from many more residents of our school district who say their relative or someone they know has a job because they attended the JVS.
The JVS has started an alumni association, and all JVS graduates are welcome to join. Call (740) 264-5545 for information about the next meeting. For all of you who got their start at the JVS, please remember that we have a levy on the Nov. 6 ballot (Issue 21) - for 5 cents a day, you can help the JVS train students for their future jobs. Please remember to go to the polls and vote "yes" on Nov. 6 to support the JVS.
