I would like to add a link to an external website to a set of PDF files - Ultimately each file would have this link in the upper left hand corner. Is there a way to automate this, much like the automation Photoshop offers? I looked through the batch processing and I didn't have any luck finding what I am trying to do. Has anyone ever tried doing this?
Acrobat pro doesn't have a lot of manual or interface based batch operations for links, other than scanning a document's text and making text based URLs, or at least whatever it thinks are URLs, and making them into live links.
So if you have a typed URL of editable text in your PDF, you can go that route and check it, save, done...
OR... if you have a graphic in your doc and want to make it a "button", you may want to try this :
It's possible to import an entire PDF into InDesign and apply this template to the whole doc and then resave as a PDF.
You can then set this up as a master page, and apply it easily and quickly.
I'm sorry I don't have as elegant a solution in Acrobat, but this will hopefully help you more than just a simple "no" to your question.
you can use acrobat to make a link and copy and paste the invisible rectangle on each page, while tedious, it's another option.
I think Acrobat does this by default by just writing the URL. If you write your URL like :
http://www.myurl.com , or just www.myurl.com. After you save and open the PDF the link is there, you will notice the cursor turning into the pointing hand thingy and you can click it.
But the downside to links in PDF files is that people are not quite used with them, to make it more noticeable I would underline the text and maybe make it Bold or something to suggest that it is a link, not just normal text.
And another issue is that, usually when you click a link in a PDF file, you(the user) get some kind of security warning that you must "Allow" before the link actually works.
So if you are trying to add a link in the upper left hand corner, maybe just look for something that writes text in a batch process for PDF files(I dont know of any such thing...) but there must be one,
Or...another way, not to easy I must say, is to use this plug-in for InDesign, that allows you to import PDF into InDesign. Then within InDesign create a Master Page with your link in the upper hand left corner and apply the Master Page to all of your pages in the PDF. But you might run into problems when importing the pdf into InDesign, depending on how complex is the PDF design.
Hope this helps, its all I could think of... good luck!
If all you need is a simple text URL in each PDF, you can run this as an Action directly within Acrobat.
Open the Action Wizard:
The only
When you run the action, specify the source and and output folders when prompted, then just let it rip.
For versions earlier than Acrobat X, see this link for the steps involved. Adobe moved stuff around between 9 and 10, driving many people to sit rocking back and forth in dark corners, weeping quietly as they stuck pins in voodoo dolls.

The original Kuratowski closure-complement problem asks:
How many distinct sets can be obtained by repeatedly applying the set operations of closure and complement to a given starting subset of a topological space?
My question is: what is known about analogous questions in other settings?
Here's an example of what I'm thinking of, for rings:
How many distinct ideals can be obtained by repeatedly applying the operations of radical and annihilator to a given starting ideal $I$ of a commutative ring $R$?
Note that $r(r(I))=r(I)$ and $I\subseteq Ann(Ann(I))=\{x\in R: x\cdot Ann(I)=(0)\}$, which are the best analogs I could think of to $\overline{\overline{S}}=\overline{S}$ and $(S^C)^C=S$.
Also: what is the structure necessary to formulate this kind of question called, and where does it occur naturally?
It seems like we need at least a poset, but with distinguished idempotent and involution operations to generalize the closure and complement, respectively.

Management student spends co-op semester in Paris
"I look at everything much more globally now. It's opened my mind more."
Marcio Carvalho, Management '11
Co-op Employer: Embassy of the United States, Paris, France
This fall, the walk to work for Marcio Carvalho, BSM '11, included a stroll past the Eiffel Tower before arriving at an office located just next to the Louvre and a stone's throw from the Arc de Triomphe. Even after spending a whole semester in Paris, France, for his co-op, the novelty of his surroundings never wore off. "It surprised me pretty much every day," says Carvalho. "'Oh wait, I'm in Paris?' It never got old."
As an intern at the American Embassy in Paris, Carvalho supported the assistant to the United States Ambassador to France, Charles H. Rivkin. The position involved working in politics, research, and facilities. He was able to contribute to—and become the sole project manager for—the renovation of a suite within the Ambassador's residence. Carvalho's responsibilities enabled him to make professional connections, and he continues to maintain contact with both the Ambassador and his assistant. Working in the political offices required Carvalho to follow breaking news stories and send updates to Washington, D.C. "WikiLeaks was a big thing going on while I was there. I would actually get emails from Hillary Clinton, so that was pretty cool."
In the end, Carvalho found everything he was looking for and more. "I always knew I wanted to go abroad," says Carvalho, who completed a semester studying abroad in Australia two weeks before starting his co-op in Paris. "I was always the sheltered baby in the family, and I think I surprised both my sister and my parents. They didn't think I would go through with it, both with Australia and France, but I proved them wrong. And it gave me that greater sense of confidence."
The experience has changed him. "I look at everything much more globally now. It's opened my mind." Carvalho isn't sure exactly where he will end up next, although San Diego, Lisbon, and Africa are all high on his list. "One thing is for sure though," says Carvalho. "I have proven to myself that I can go anywhere on my own."

Rally begins today at noon at courthouse
January 5, 2013
STEUBENVILLE — A second protest rally tied to the alleged rape of an underage girl is set for noon today at the Jefferson County Courthouse....
Walter Madison is from Akron Ohio and Adam Nemann is from Columbus Ohio. They do not speak for anyone from Steubenville except the accused rapists and their families. I want to know what exactly you propose any "real men" from Steubenville show up and do? You can't paint the whole town in whatever light you want because of this case. There are three high schools in the Steubenville area. Indian Creek HS, Steubenville Catholic Central HS and Steubenville HS. Not everyone who lives here went to or supports Steubenville Big Red. Most people I've heard discussing this case outside of Big Red supporters want everyone involved to go to jail, including all the people on the video who joked about the rape.

This is what the atty for one of the "boys" accused of rape said in court: "Because she was silent doesn't mean she was objecting," Madison said.

This is all you need to know about these people. These cowards. These cavemen who think a pigskin deserves more care than a teenage girl.
Your town is a place if shame and sickness. The world is disgusted by you not because of what Anonymous is reporting, but because of the FACT that you care more about your slimy little maggot football players and coach than an assaulted girl.
Who makes that clear more than you people - with all your whining about the press and your character assassination of this girl.
There is a coach on the football team who literally said that the victim wasn't a victim but she was just trying to stay out late.
You are scum, Steubenville. And your own defensiveness proves how sick you people are.
Will the first true man in Steubenville please show up and do the right thing? Looks like not.

Is there any reason why it's not possible to un-link your SO account from your Careers account?
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
Even serious and helpful answers can be reason to deny you a job position. For example, I know that showing any liking for perl disqualifies you as a serious developer in the eyes of my boss.
So if SO Careers links your real name to "tainted" SO questions, it would be useful to be able to unlink it. Maybe you can even write up some perl hate and link it to your new avatar!
Kelso, based on the questions you've asked here, I am not sure our careers feature matches anything you want to do.
I think we have a bad fit here. No point in pushing a relationship that isn't going to work out for either one of us. No harm, no foul, everybody walks away.
Please email us for a refund at the address linked at the bottom of every careers.stackoverflow.com page -- we'll be happy to provide it.
Since SO content is licensed under CC-Wiki, you should be able to request that the team disassociate any questions/answers that you don't want linked to your account from it. This is one of the moral rights that the CC-Wiki license retains to you -- the ability to remove your name from any of your content.
The point of listing yourself on careers is for the association with your SO identity, otherwise it's just another CV database. So if you don't want that, maybe you're really looking for something else.

Algeria Warns Death Count Will Increase
Fears rose of a growing international death toll from the four-day terrorist attack on a remote Sahara desert natural-gas facility in Algeria, as more details emerged of the siege that has fueled new concerns about the threat posed by North Africa-based terror groups.
The Algerian government said Sunday it expects casualties to rise beyond the 23 hostages and 32 militants it has said were killed. Algerian authorities haven't disclosed nationalities of the 23 hostage victims, and the challenge of identifying victims was sure to be difficult, with reports over the weekend of deaths in fiery explosions and charred remains at the scene.
The Algerian statement came as the discrepancy between the number of hostages confirmed dead by their governments and those still unaccounted for became clearer. "I strongly fear that the death toll will be revised upward," said Algerian Communication Minister Mohamed Said on state radio Chaîne 3.
Other big questions loomed over the aftermath of the siege. One is what the militants had planned to do. Norway's foreign minister, Espen Barth Eide, said Sunday the militants had tried to destroy the gas facility but failed and instead began to execute hostages.
"On Saturday, the terrorists tried to light up the facility and blow it up, but they didn't succeed," Mr. Eide said in a TV interview. "They managed to light a little fire. They then began executing hostages, and special forces intervened."
The militants ability to so quickly take control of the facility and rig explosives that could create such carnage--while in the middle of a firefight with the Algerian military--also raised the question of whether they had prior knowledge of the plant and its layouts and had accomplices inside the facility.
There also were intriguing clues on Sunday that at least one of the hostage takers was Western. One 35-year-old Algerian employee who escaped the scene said he heard the terrorists speaking different Arabic dialects and one who didn't speak Arabic well, but had far better command of English. "He had white skin and a blonde beard," recalled the Algerian employee, who escaped a few hours after the attack began. Mauritania-based news agency ANI has quoted the terrorists as saying they are of various African and Western nationalities, including Canada along with Libya, Mauritania and Mali.
Algerian television said as many as five of the terrorists were alive and had been detained by early Sunday, and others were still being sought.
While the Algerian army was still combing the site for explosives militants allegedly planted, foreign governments and companies continued to seek information about the fate of some of their citizens.
One British man killed was 46-year old Paul Thomas Morgan. "We are so proud of him and so proud of what he achieved in his life," his family said in a statement. "We are devastated by Paul's death and he will be truly missed." No other details were given about him by the UK Foreign Office, which released the statement. He joined Frederick Buttaccio of Katy, Texas as the only hostages governments had identified by name as slain by Sunday. Up to eight Americans were still unaccounted for.
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron said three British nationals were confirmed dead, three more were feared dead and one British resident was also feared dead. The U.K. government said the majority of British survivors are now home or on their way home and that it is working closely with the Algerian authorities to repatriate the dead bodies. Algeria, France and Romania also have announced that some of their nationals were among the victims.
A few of the missing were identified Sunday. Five Norwegians were named as unaccounted for by their employer Statoil AS STO 0.44 % A, including the stepfather of the country's International Development Minister. "It is with grief and despair that I have found out that my mother's husband, Tore Bech, is feared killed in the hostage drama in Algeria," said the minister, Heikki Holmas, in a statement.
Norway's Mr. Eide, the foreign minister, said earlier Sunday that he had not given up on the five missing Norwegians. "We have to cling to hope, but also face that there may be bad news" he said.
As of Sunday night in Tokyo, Japanese engineering company JGC Corp. 1963 -4.30 % said 17 of its employees, including 10 Japanese, remained unaccounted for, and that "multiple deaths" were feared.
There have been some frustrations among officials in the U.S. and U.K. about how the Algerian authorities handled the situation. But publicly they have been tempered in their tone as the effort to repatriate bodies and survivors continues.
"Of course, people will ask questions about the Algerian response to these events," said Mr. Cameron, speaking to broadcast media Sunday. But, he added, "the responsibility for these deaths lies squarely with the terrorists who launched this vicious and cowardly attack. "When you are dealing with a terrorist incident of this scale—with up to 30 terrorists—it is extremely difficult to respond and get this right in every respect."
An estimated 800 people from at least 12 nationalities worked at the In Amenas gas installation near Algeria's Libyan border. Some hostages were freed during the previous assault attempt by Algerian forces while others escaped. According to the Algerian Interior Ministry, 685 Algerian workers and 107 foreigners were freed during the incident.
Saturday's final raid marked a bloody end to the siege by militants with suspected ties to al Qaeda's regional affiliate. Playing out deep in Algeria's desert, the drama focused international attention on al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, and related groups that have spread across a vast territory that encompasses parts of Mali, Algeria, Libya and Chad.
The militants who claimed responsibility for seizing the Algeria complex, believed to be led by led by a Mali-based Algerian fugitive, Mokhtar Belmokhtar, has said it was retaliation for France's decision to send combat troops to support neighboring Mali in its battle against an al Qaeda-backed insurgency, and has warned of more to come. On Sunday, his group said the attack had been conducted in retaliation for the war carried out by "crusader countries" in Mali.

- U.K.: 3 dead, 4 missing and feared dead (SOURCE: U.K. government)
- U.S.: 1 dead, as many as eight missing (SOURCE: U.S. government)
On Sunday, the U.S. Embassy in Algiers also warned companies in Algeria it feared security fears were now extending outside the Sahara. In an E-mail to U.S. oil majors, it mentioned "threats of planned kidnapping efforts targeting westerners in Algiers, as well as in Northern and Eastern Algeria."
The siege began early Wednesday when the militants took over the In Amenas complex in southeast Algeria. Carrying guns, rocket-propelled grenades, mortars and explosives, the militants splintered into two groups as they made their way into the industrial facility, according to several statements by employees. One seized the base's living quarters and the other took control of the nearby gas-processing plant.
Freed hostages have said the militants moved easily through the premises, suggesting the operation was thoroughly prepared, prompting Algerian authorities to question whether they had accomplices inside the complex, said a person familiar with the matter. A European official said intelligence gathered on Mr. Belmokhtar's group of militants shows the attack was prepared several weeks in advance.
By Thursday morning, the Algerian government had dispatched special forces, including its elite GIS group, to the site. One of their first moves was to disconnect all mobile-phone transmitters and scramble satellite-phone connections to prevent hostage takers from communicating with the outside world, said Pierre-Antoine Lorenzi, chairman of French private-security firm Amarante. Algerian authorities positioned Russian-made helicopters around the facility to ensure militants couldn't escape with hostages. They also made their position clear: "We won't respond to any claim by terrorists and refuse any negotiations," Algerian Interior Minister Dahou Ould Kablia said.
Mr. Lorenzi, whose company is in charge of the security of several gas installations in Algeria—though not of In Amenas—said his staff was able to speak to some hostages on Wednesday, including to retired French soldier Yann Desjeux, who died in the siege.
The siege moved into a new phase later Thursday, when the Algerian helicopters opened fire on a column of pickup trucks driven by militants with hostages. The Interior Ministry said the militants were trying to escape into the desert. An Algerian official said the government couldn't allow that to happen.
Some Western officials have a different account. "Thursday, when the first fighting began, these cars that many believed were going out of the area, they were not," Norway's Mr. h Eide told Norwegian television Sunday. "They were going from the housing area to the gas-production facility," he said. Algerian authorities would not allow the hostage takers to gather up at the production facility, because they believed that would have strengthened them, Mr. Eide said. Many hundreds of hostages were freed during this operation, but some were killed, and a number of hostage takers were killed, including the leader of the operation.
On Friday, the Algerian army succeeded in capturing at least one of the hostage takers, Algerian media reported. But at the end of Friday, the situation remained unclear, with Algerian officials silent on the number of deaths and of remaining hostages and the state of the rescue mission. Western government officials looked for information and hinted that they weren't certain what was happening on the ground.
That began to change early Saturday afternoon, when reports of what the Algerians called a "final assault" filtered out. By nightfall on Saturday, it was clear the siege had come to an end, as government officials like Mr. Cameron began to touch base with the Algerians. Saturday evening, the Algerian government released its provisional death toll.

Weatherstripping Installation - Replace Your WeatherstrippingWritten by John McGann on August 1, 2006 Contributors: Terry McGean Put the kibosh on leaky, rattling doors as we show you how to replace your weatherstripping
"I feel a draft." Girls hate it when a blast of cold air and rain conspire to flatten their 'dos. Combine that with the lack of aesthetic charms presented by our '86 Chevrolet Caprice, and it looks like we're never going to get a girl to ride in it. It needs all the help we can give it. Fixing the weatherstripping is a good place to start.
Unlike for our '91 Firebird, which also repels women like dog breath, finding new parts is no picnic. It's a mid-'80s, fullsize coupe with a very small following apart from Midwestern geriatrics who have relocated to Florida, the lowrider and donk crowd, and nostalgic cops. Square Caprices are a dime-a-dozen here in the junkyards, but 99 percent of them are sedans. And though many sedan parts will work on the coupe (headliner, carpet, and more trim and molding pieces than you'd think), those parts have long been rendered unusable because of years of fleet service. So rather than packing the void in the door seals with strips of foam rubber, we performed a lengthy search on the Internet that turned up some options.
The door weatherstripping was not much of a problem. SoffSeal sells a kit for the coupe, so a call was made, and the box arrived within a week. The door-seal strips and window channel posed more of a problem. GM discontinued them, and any N.O.S. stuff that had been sitting on a dealership's back shelf cost too much. Eventually, J.C. Whitney came to the rescue for half the price.
We were a little freaked when the boxes were delivered. J.C. Whitney actually does sell replacement body parts, trim pieces, and mechanical items, some of which are custom-fit. You never know what you're going to get from the universal parts bin, but we were pleasantly surprised when the window channel and door seals turned out to be high-quality pieces. The rubber was good, the felts were soft and flexible, and the pieces fit the car perfectly.
So, while it may be dubious for a Caprice of any vintage to grace the pages of Car Craft, the process of replacing its weatherstripping with a generic brand is applicable to a variety of popular cars. Follow along as the Caprice gets its door seals tuned up.

Door Weatherstripping
Removing the door weatherstripping requires the use of a good adhesive remover. On this car, the bottom half of the weatherstripping is held in place by plastic push clips, but the remaining areas around the window frame and down the front of the door to just below the hinges are glued on. We soaked them in 3M Adhesive Cleaner that we purchased from a local body-shop supply company.The plastic clips that hold the bottom half of the weatherstripping in place need to be removed with a pair of side cutters.Scrubbing with wire- and nylon-bristled parts-cleaning brushes worked far better than hacking away with putty knives and screwdrivers to remove the remaining weatherstripping and adhesive residue.We test-fit the new pieces first to ensure proper alignment. Start at a corner, since it's the most obvious reference point. A plastic Bondo spreader helps tuck the weatherstripping into its channel. Once proper fitment is confirmed, push the clips into the door.To attach the weatherstripping to the window frame, apply a bead of adhesive, also available from a body-shop supply company, and push the strip back into its channel. Wrap a couple of pieces of masking tape around the window frame to hold everything in place until the adhesive dries.Door-Seal Strips
Drive with your arm out the window much? The door-seal strips (also referred to as door-belt weatherstripping) have not led easy lives, either. In addition to preventing window rattles, these strips keep water from flooding the doors and ultimately rotting them from the inside out-something these cars are notorious for.The seal strips are held in place with Phillips-head screws, some of which are blocked by the glass, even with the window lowered all the way. Since the window-channel weatherstripping is also going to be replaced, we decided to remove the glass. The glass in this car is bolted to the sash rather than bonded to it, so removing it is relatively easy. Loosen the glass-to-sash bolts, and lower the window all the way.The glass can be lifted out of the sash with the bolts loosened. However, if you choose to remove the bolts completely, be sure to support the bottom of the glass or it will fall to the bottom of the door. Once the glass is free from the sash, tilt it forward to pop the retainer out of the window channel and lift it out of the door.
Window-Channel Weatherstripping
The Caprice's window-channel weatherstripping was also fragged. It fits in a metal channel in the doorframe and is held in place by tension, but there is a metal insert in the rear upright section that is riveted to a spring clip in the top of the doorframe. Drill the head of the rivet off to free it.You'll need to save the metal channel that is attached to the old weatherstripping. Just bend the tabs to remove and install.With the metal insert tucked into the weatherstripping, reinstall the spring clip with a small rivet or a very small sheetmetal screw. Push the assembly back into the window frame.

Recently I installed a copy of Oneiric Ocelot 11.10 on my ThinkPad. Everything went fine, I installed the gnome shell and gnome-tweak-tool to customize everything. I changed the shell theme, the GTK+ theme and the icon set.
After everything fit my needs perfectly, I installed some updates from the update manager (no upgrades, just small updates). I had to restart, and after I restarted, my gnome shell was broken. In tweak-tool, it showed the customized shell as the default one, and my gtk theme was broken as well (it looked like two themes "frankensteined" together...). The bad thing was - I couldn't get things back into the default settings!
So the only thing left was to use the -non broken- unity shell.
What can I do to stop these things from happening? (I mean...sure I could avoid the updates, but that would be kind of stupid, too.)
I only have these PPAs installed:
- ferramroberto-gnome3-oneiric.list (and .save),
- playonlinux.list (and .save)
And how can I fix the broken gnome-shell?

On the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg, Gen. Buford and the Union cavalry were initially defending the ridges to the north and west of the town. Even after Gen. Reynolds arrived with the Union I Corps, they ultimately had to retreat through town and defend Cemetery Ridge south of town. My question is, was this Buford's plan all along? Defend the high ground closer to the enemy so you could fall back to other high ground if necessary? Or was it just a fortunate coincidence? Or maybe somewhere in between?
It was his plan all along. The line of hills south of town were the obvious defensive position for an army, but Buford didn't have enough men to defend the entire line so he placed his defensive line north of town. If he could hold the Confederate infantry off long enough, it would give the Union infantry time to come up behind him and begin occupying the hills, which is ultimately what happened. Having said that, and borrowing a quote from Moltke: "No plan survives first contact with the enemy." Buford was certainly improvising as the situation changed, but he had clearly meant to protect the Cemetery Hill position, so it was inevitable that he would withdraw to it at some point.

The cost of farm items such as diesel and anhydrous ammonia is up considerably from this time last year. With the threat of war in Iraq and a crude oil strike in the South American country of Venezuela, it's unlikely that prices will fall anytime soon.
One employee at a Bowling Green farm supply store says he's received a few complaints lately from farmers about the rising costs of several items. Although he says costs for fuel generally climb in the winter months due to higher demand, the current world events are having an impact locally.
The average price for diesel is up about 30% nationally from this time last year, while most nitrogen-based products have seen a 9% jump in price from last January.

The Ultimate Tea Diet: Burn Fat and Lose Pounds Fast and Forever (Paperback)
It's proven Tea can be a powerful tool for fast and lasting weight loss.
The Ultimate Tea Diet harnesses tea's incredible weight-loss potential in a straightforward plan for losing weight in a safe and healthy way.

In other words, tea reduces your appetite and stimulates your metabolism.
Don't worry--you won't go hungry on the Ultimate Tea Diet. The food plan includes tea-based meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as tempting choices for midday snacks and sweet treats. All are made with tea so not only is your food incredibly flavorful, but you're also getting the weight-loss benefits in every single bite you enjoy.
Drinking tea--and maintaining a conscientious focus on good health--can easily become a way of life. Slim down to a leaner, more energetic, and healthier you with the Ultimate Tea Diet.

The oil giant says an August cyber attack on its computer network targeted not just the company but the kingdom's economy as a whole, seeking to stop oil and gas production. The interior ministry joined Aramco's investigation into the attack that affected some 30,000 of the firm's computers.
DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia (AFP) -- Oil giant Saudi Aramco said
Sunday that an August cyber attack on its computer network
targeted not just the company but the kingdom's economy as a
The interior ministry, which joined Aramco's investigation
into the attack that affected some 30,000 of the firm's
computers, said it was carried out by organized hackers from
several different foreign countries.
"The attack targeted the whole economy of the country, not
just Aramco as an entity," said Abdullah al-Saadan, who headed
the company's inquiry team. "The aim was to stop pumping oil
and gas to domestic and international markets."
Interior ministry spokesman General Mansur al-Turki said the
joint investigation had established that an "organized group
launched the attack from outside the kingdom and from different
"It is in the interest of the investigation not to reveal
any results," he told reporters, stressing that "no Aramco
employees or contractors were involved in the hacking."
On Aug. 27, Aramco said it had restored its main internal
network after the Aug. 15 attack, which it described as a
"malicious virus that originated from external sources."
The state-owned group which runs all of Saudi Arabia's oil
production said at the time that its oil exploration and

It's well-known that there are several equivalent definitions of a projective $A$-module $P$:
- Given an exact sequence $M \xrightarrow{f} M' \to 0$ and a morphism $P \xrightarrow{g} M'$, there exists a morphism $P \xrightarrow{h} M$ such that $fh=g$;
- Every exact sequence $0 \to M' \to M \to P \to 0$ splits;
- There exists a module $M$ such that $P \oplus M$ is a free module; and
- The functor $\mathrm{Hom}_A(P,-)$ is exact.
Now the dual versions (i.e., for the definition of an injective module) of 1, 2, and 4 are easy. My question is, does there exist a dual version of 3?
I would actually like to be phrasing this in the context of an arbitrary abelian category, so would 3 be stated as something like "a subobject of a free object"? Then what would the dual version of this statement be? "A quotient object of..." something?
Thanks so much in advance.

I'm trying to write a plugin script that involves the user uploading a large file. To cope with this I need to alter the following settings:
- post_max_size
- upload_max_size
If I alter these in php.ini it works as intended. However, it I try the following from within my plugin code, it doesn't take affect:
@ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '100M' );
@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '105M');
I don't really want to have to talk the user through editing of either php.ini or a WordPress config file. Ideally I'd be able to perform it for them from within the plugin.
Does anyone know how this can be achieved?

DriveClub rated by ESRB, release date incoming?Written by: / / 4 Comments
Last month we reported how the official Japanese PlayStation website had given DriveClub a February 22nd release date to coincide with the launch of PS4 in the territory. Although Sony has yet to confirm whether this date applies to other regions as well, the game was recently rated by the US ratings board – the ESRB – suggesting that a release date announcement, and indeed the game itself, is not too far off.
DriveClub was originally scheduled to be a PS4 launch title in North America and European territories but was delayed until "early 2014" at the eleventh hour in order to apply extra polish.
Head over here for El33tonline's previous coverage of DriveClub for news, screenshots, trailers and previews of Sony's debut PS4 racing game.

This is the Open Forum Coffee Talk. That means ... anything goes. Ask a question, make a suggestion, share a story, offer some advice -- the floor is yours!
My question is in regards to Sex Education for my daughter. I am going to be doing the Theology of the Body for Teens with her, but was wondering what might be a good program to teach her more of the anatomy part of Sex Ed.? She has had some of that during her Health class in school, but I want to just be sure she has a good knowledge of how the body works.
Sorry, no ideas for that, but we did the Mother of Divine Grace's high school class for "Health". It gives you readings from the Catechism for different topics.
Understanding the human body & human sexuality goes so much deeper than science. Considering the sensitive nature of the topic & the moral equation involved with human sexuality, I think it is essential that a child knows that they can come to their parent to discuss the matter (vs. friends, teachers, doctors, etc.). Well-meaning & well-informed as others may be, they may not share your beliefs on this important topic. God bless--

Is there empirical proof that the exodus from Egypt and related happenings (like Har Sinai etc) did in fact occur (i.e: Archeological proof)? I believe in the Torah, but how would you prove to someone that the exodus did indeed happen if the other person does not believe in the Torah (yet)?
Sign up

There is no archaeological evidence of the Exodus. When you get down to it, it's surprising how little archaeological proof there is of many things which we're pretty sure happened - we have difficulty identifying some entire nations which are described by sober ancient historians; and there are many monarchs who are known only by a single reference in a stele or inscription that we happened to dig up. In any event, there's no archaeological evidence for the Exodus.
What's more of a problem is that we don't have evidence for a massive change in the population of what-was-Canaan around the time that the Torah describes the Benei Yisroel moving in. Once again, there's not a huge amount of evidence one way or another; partially because our ancestors failed to create massive archives of clay tablets, partially because they kept living in the same area and building over (or reusing) the remains of older buildings. None the less, the archaeological record doesn't support the Jewish narrative.
For what it's worth, I think that any attempt to "prove" the Torah via archaeology is doomed to failure. Even if a substantial bit of evidence supporting the Exodus were found - say, finding the altars and pillars near Mt Sinai - the entire Biblical narrative is so unlikely from a rationalist perspective that almost any explanation (e.g.., ruins of a previously-unknown civilization, a pious Herodian reconstruction, the foundations of a secret IDF military camp) would be preferred.
See this article by R' Gil Student. He seems to be very familiar with the relevant literature, and he "believe[s] (with perfect faith) that 600,000 men and their families left Egypt," but it's clear to him that if there's any archaeological evidence of the Exodus, it's not great or conclusive. In sum:
He mentions two books that apparently marshal what evidence there is and also argue against those who claim that the historical record disproves the claims in the Bible (which, of course, is different from providing proof that it did happen):
I haven't read these books, so I don't know how much is in them, but like I said, it's clear to R' Student that they don't provide proof of the Exodus. Someone who's read them (or you, if you're sufficiently interested to do that yourself) could provide a summary.
It seems to me that if you want to convince someone to believe in the truth of the Torah, the historicity of the Exodus is probably not the best place to start.
Hope this helps.
The finding:
So the same houses or dwelling spots that were ascribed to Israelites in the land of Canaan or Israel were also found in Egypt, thus creating a link between the two groups of people. These dwelling spots were not the norm and not found everywhere. It was a certain type of dwelling that was identified only as that of Israelites in the Land of Israel. And thus not the norm for society as a whole in Egypt or in Canaan.
May not 'seem' like much BUT...
This find is actually a real game changer in proving the existence of the Israelites in Egypt. This sort of throws a wrench in the modern archaeological consensus on the identity of the Biblical Israelite (they believed they were people having always lived in Canaan. Then broke away and became Israelites, but always stayed in Canaan not ever having been in Egypt.) This find helps prove that Israelites were a people foreign to the land of Canaan and had lived in Egypt as evidenced by the identical housing structures found in both Egypt and in Israel.

Please read THE RIDDLE OF THE EXODUS by James Long, a gentile who has faith in the oral tradition. He has fascinating archaeologic corroboration for many events and their geographic location.
This article goes through many issues of archaeology and Torah and explains things from a traditional perspective: http://truetorah.blogspot.com/2012/05/part-1-archaeology.html#more
Archaeological evidence for the Exodus does exist. Archaeological evidence for the exodus that follows the time line of Seder Ha'olam does not.
There is a lot of archeaological evidence for all the events in the tanach(bible). I hope you can read Hebrew. Please see this link. http://www.daat.ac.il/daat/vl/tohen.asp?id=676 which is an entire book dedicated to the wealth of evidence. Just a few examples: 1. Joseph in ancient egyptian sources 2. Exodus in ancient egyptian sources 3. Extensive archeaological evidence for Israelite presence in desert 4. Extensive archaeological evidence for conquest of Israel by Israelites etc. etc. etc. Just read the book!
Shevet dan picked up all lost items and returned them to their owners. This is a yerushalmi brought in rashi in parshas bihaalosicha ch 10 vs 25. Now, if any nonbelievers try to answer why would the yerushalmi 'invent' a good excuse as to why there would be no archeological evidence over a millennium before archeology was invented, that might in itself be good proof of the Higher Providence being seeked.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7OUK4RSVHg look at this and make your decision , but this prove Exodus and that the Moses and Torah are real.

10 Ways to Burn More Calories Just By Sitting
Who needs the gym when you can do these sneaky moves and lose weight with almost no effort?
Too much caffeine can have also negative effects on the body, says Ashley Koff, RD, a dietician and co-author of "Mom Energy." "Chronic caffeine use can cause burnout, and if you're not well-hydrated, caffeine can slow your metabolism." For weight loss, Koff likes oolong tea for its fat-burning/energy boosting capabilities. If your goal is to lose weight but also stay awake longer, Koff says tea is a better choice than coffee, since it also has nutrients that slow the caffeine's absorption, so you don't spike and crash.

Can you give us some more information about what in the metadata files was changed? Did they edit something on the application node?
We'd like to reproduce and resolve it.Aaron Conran

I've been so busy with building new features for my project that I neglected to analyze the commit logs for this...
Here's the screenshot of Git-Tower 2.0 History at the time of the error:
スクリーンショット 2014-07-01 10.14.58.jpg
Then I looked at the next entry, it would appear that my teammate incorrectly resolved the commit conflict...
スクリーンショット 2014-07-01 10.15.11.jpg
From what I can see in the commit, two new stores were added and one model's name was changed. Since this would modify both .architect & metadata/Application files, it be different from the teammates local copy. It looks like he choose to merge with the GitHub copy rather than use his local (more up-to-date) copy.
** Is there any way for SA to ask the developer if they really want to rebuild/replace the application node due to merge detection?
I don't normally see this type of behavior, but then my teammate is relatively new to Sencha.
1 Jul 2014 8:16 AM #4
Hrm so the error was in the merge and Architect is just picking up what is on disk?
I think most would find it pretty annoying if Architect was always questioning whether or not what I just did was accurate or not.Aaron Conran
1 Jul 2014 4:42 PM #5
While I would agree, I do prefer to be notified if the changes detected would make numerous changes to the Application node. Especially if a corrupt node is detected. I'm not suggesting that SA confirm on every file change from a repo pull. (Dreamweaver does this and it is annoying.)
Perhaps a compromise:
I know that many other non-interpreted languages have well established "best practices" when it comes to CVS/SVN/Git/etc... Perhaps what we should have (if not already documented) is a section on using Git, BitBucket, etc on how to handle merges from the repository.
Any thoughts?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Lack of loyalty is a serious problem in organizations everywhere today.
No longer do people join a company and devote the rest of their working lives to it. Companies are, of course, not exactly known for offering up thirty or forty years of employment, a gold watch and pension plan.
Times have changed. Businesses appear and disappear at a dizzying pace. So do the jobs they offer. Organizations preoccupied with short-term, bottom line thinking often view their employees as little more than resources to be hired, fired, and manipulated as the need arises. Workers are naturally less happy on the job when they sense little or no loyalty from their employer.
Both sides pay a price for this lack of loyalty. What can you do to avoid this terrifying outcome? Learn from others.

Are the people who pay for goods and services "Customers," "Patients," "Students," "Residents," or "Guests?"
Are the people working in an organization "Associates," "Team Members," "Partners," "Employees or "Cast Members"?
The debate about how to best address customers and employees consumes valuable time, energy and money in many organizations. Yet, merely changing nouns or verbs won't ensure a culture dedicated to world class customer service or create a motivated and engaged workforce.

Cultural etiquette, politeness, and good manners are passed down through societies from generation to generation.
Etiquette refers to the cultural guidelines for what is appropriate or inappropriate and polite or impolite. It gives a culture structure, integrity, grace, and finesse—all of which are uniquely adapted from one culture to another.
Fortunately, simple business and social etiquette are often based on basic common sense. Although etiquette styles and fads may come and go, the fundamentals of global etiquette remain essentially the same.
Guest Author Blog by Jake Breeden author of, "Tipping Sacred Cows: Kick the Bad Work Habits that Masquerade as Virtues."
Sometimes collaboration hides a lack of accountability and balance masks an unwillingness to make a decision. Collaboration and balance are two virtues that can combine to cover up some nasty virtues. Leaders must take a hard look at the virtues they are proud of to make sure no vice lurks within.
Guest Author Blog by Debra Kaye author of book, "Red Thread Thinking: Weaving Together Connections for Brilliant Ideas and Profitable Innovation,"
How many times have you thought, "I wish I'd thought of that!" or wanted to know how to successfully connect to a winning concept? Great innovators create new ideas by making connections between seemingly unrelated experiences and observations to uncover surprising, unique insights. Now you can have the genius quotient, too.
My new book, "Red Thread Thinking: Weaving Together Connections for Brilliant Ideas and Profitable Innovation," proves insights are no accident. It helps you tap into your own resources and knowledge to help create big, successful, fresh ideas or improve on existing ones.
Here are just five examples.
American salespeople, Swiss mechanics, and Chinese factory workers all are more productive if they are hopeful.
In an effort to learn more about the universality and nature of the hope-productivity link, I worked with a team of researchers to meta-analyze more than fifty studies on hope and work.
We were able to quantify hope's contribution to productivity. Other conditions being equal, hope leads to a 14% bump in workplace outcomes. Drawing upon my research and findings from studies around the world, I found that there are five characteristics of hopeful employees that make them more productive than other people.

I know of a product manager working for a software start-up who spent many hours preparing for an important meeting. His goal was to gather his team's opinions on what features to include in the new release of the company's software product.
During the meeting, however, the product manager showed such enthusiasm for his own plan of action that his team members assumed he was unwilling to listen to their ideas.
His strong confidence sidetracked him from his initial plan of welcoming the team's suggestions.

Today's companies face a paradox.

SHERMAN, TX-- Kelly Square sits across from the Grayson County Court house. You wouldn't know it looking from the outside, but this "square" offers a well rounded group of unique shops, for all ages.
Shop owners' hope to keep people shopping local, by offering products found in high end stores.
"Kelly Square is a good place to be. You get the feel of the downtown, like a McKinney, without having to drive that distance," Katie Goodman, employee at Sandi's, said.
One of the hidden gems, is a non-profit boutique. It's full of local designers', creative merchandise.
At "Women's Gift Exchange", all of the money made, goes to local Grayson County charities.
"When you come into our shop, where ever you see these little texas signs, they'll say somebody made that here in Texas," Rene Birchall, store manager, said.
Goodies, like homemade soap, jewelry, and crafts are the biggest sellers in the shop.
"We try to have something for everybody here. Anything from $2 to $500," Birchall explained.
Next door, is a clothing boutique called "Sandi's".
"We have customers come in anywhere from 25 to 80 years old," Goodman said.
They sell high end clothing and jewelry. They try to keep their customers happy, so they'll keep coming back.
"We can help them get something perfect, without having to drive to Dallas," Goodman said.
After a long day, of shopping at Kelly Square, most customers can't leave without a stop at "Sweet Side."
This candy store has something for everyone to munch on, some of it's even home made.
"It's really fun. No one left my store in a bad mood. It's was great," said, owner, Ashlee Carpenter.
They sell chocolate, lollipops, and any kind of jelly bean-- you can imagine.
What all of these stores have in common though? They love being at Kelly Square.
"We are so lucky to be here in Kelly Square. Because it's a great location, it has stirred quite a buzz in the community," Birchall said.
"We've got several other stores inside Kelly Square, so that helps business," Goodman said.
And Capenter said, "we are just a part of something over here. So it's really nice."

LUBBOCK (October 4, 2012)—Patrick Green of San Antonio is suing the president of a Lubbock museum that bought two old mules and euthanized them for a farm display.
Green's lawsuit against the president of the board of directors of the American Museum of Agriculture seeks to block the stuffed mules from an historical reaping machine exhibit.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday in state court claims the wild mules were property of the state and asks their bodies be given to an animal sanctuary for cremation and disposal.
Museum attorneys told the Lubbock Avalanche Journal they haven't seen the lawsuit.
They said earlier the animals were at least 28 years old, not strong enough for work and would have been sent to Mexico for slaughter if they hadn't been euthanized for the exhibit.

I plan on running an
Eberron campaign and may end up doing it in 4th ed, but am interested in preserving the story of 3.5
Eberron. IMO
Dragonborn should not be common in
Khorvaire and would be at best exclusively something out of
Argonnessen. Would their be any major impact in the books if I removed the presence of
Dragonborn altogether from
Khorvaire, or will key characters in the new world be removed?
For extra credit: Would their be any other confusions if I tried to run
Eberron in a 3.5 style story but give the players the 4th ed books?

Hi all I have been shooting VR for quite a long time and in the last few years have been working on several major projects. I converted over to shooting with Sony gear and personally think they are the dark horse. They make some great and very innovated equipment. Mid August I shot the cockpit of a Curtis Jr airplane with the Sony a77 and the Rokinon 8mm f3.5 lens. I like the rear LCD screen on the Sony a77 you can actually position it enough to focus by (you see in the first image below). That and focus peaking with image magnification makes it easy in shooting vr and setting up the camera alinement on the vr rig.

2022 World Cup Qualifying
Game 3: vs Cyprus - W 4-1 - Stats
We bring out the best of us at home, and another dominating win to boot.
Game 4: at Switzerland - W 4-0 - Stats
We're a bit different away from home though. The scoreline will say it was an easy win, but we didn't have many chances in the 1st half, and only late in the game when the Swiss wanted to push up for a goal did we fight back and score a few more goals to get another victory.
We're still at the top, but Ireland are close behind in 2nd.
Upcoming fixtures:
Nov. 14: vs England (Friendly)
Nov. 18: at Belgium (Friendly)
These two teams are at the top of their respective World Cup qualifying groups, so they will be both tough opposition.

Betty Shearon has been on the Ford City Council for several years, so many in fact she can't remember when she was first elected to the position. But she's not ready to take a break yet, she's running once again for re-election this April.
"They talked me into running again," Shearon said jokingly of why she filed once more.
In reality Shearon has some big goals for her next term, if elected again.
"I want to continue to get the city back the way it should be," Shearon said. "Clean up properties that have fallen into disrepair, improve the streets and just make it a better town."
Shearon was born and raised just a few miles outside of Ford City. Once she grew up she moved away for several years. Finally, about 26 years ago she decided to move back to be closer to her family and her roots.
"It's a nice place to lie," She said about the area. "We have a nice home and we've spent a lot of time fixing it up, we're not about to leave now that we've put all this work in."
Shearon is recently retired, but she used to work at the General Store at Boot Hill Museum. She said her experience running the store helped her gain some valuable experience that carries over to the city council meetings.

The home of ex- NFL all-pro lineman and former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Warren Sapp has been bought by fitness guru Brenda Dykgraaf, according to Jose Lambiet's Gossip Extra.
The 51-year-old Ab Roller inventor got the $7 million mansion for $2.1 million.
Broward County resident and former University of Miami star Sapp once played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers under one of the league's richest contracts that paid him $450,000 per game.
Sapp filed for bankruptcy in April and was forced to auction his 10,000-square-foot mansion outside Orlando to the highest bidder.
The home includes a lazy river, a two-story-high wine bottle display, a dock on Lake Butler and hand-decorated ceilings and walls throughout.
In addition, the house is down the street from where golfer Tiger Woods famously crashed his car at Thanksgiving 2009.

STEUBENVILLE - John Graebing was busy Tuesday trimming high grass along the Rotary Park chain link fence.
His father, John Graebing Sr., perched in the driver's seat of a new riding mower, was cutting wide swaths of grass surrounding a basketball court, shelter area and playground in the park.
Nearby stood the Rev. John Westling of the First Baptist Church on Plum Avenue watching the volunteers from his congregation maintain the park grounds as well as the church lawn.

PARK ADOPTED — The First Baptist Church of Steubenville has adopted Rotary Park and will maintain the grass and facility this summer. Standing in front of the playground area were, from left, Ben Wade, the Rev. John Westling and John Graebing Jr. Westling said the church will host a community cookout Sunday afternoon at the park. -- Dave Gossett
"We were talking one day at the church and saw a group of kids playing in the park. We saw a need to help maintain the park area, so I contacted City Manager Cathy Davison and our church adopted and agreed to maintain the park," explained Westling.
Davison called the adoption, "a true blessing for our community."
"This is a great partnership and collaboration. The First Baptist Church is giving back to the community and keeping a beautiful park clean and neat for the residents and children of Pleasant Heights," Davison said.
"We are also planning on putting a new roof on the shelter and painting the picnic tables. And we are going to paint the fence. We have a lot of work to do this summer," said Westling.
"We are encouraging other churches in the city to adopt a park near them. The city is facing some tight financial times and we are happy to do our part to help the community," Westling added.
"The hilltop is in need of salvation. We want to get the kids of the neighborhood before the streets get the kids first," noted Ben Wade, a member of the church.
"God is blessing our church and we want to be a blessing to the community. We are also planning a series of summer concerts in the park. And this Sunday we will host a community cookout. We will be cooking hot dogs and hamburgers, and it is free for the community. We have a monthly free community dinner but we will hold those dinners outside during the summer months," Westling said.
"When I was asked to come and pastor at the church, the congregation had dwindled down to nine people. Now it is up to 40 members and this 107-year old congregation is growing," Westling related.
Westling said Erik Fray, director of maintenance at the church, is coordinating the park grass cutting duties.
"We went to barely paying our bills to donating $5,000 to the Hurricane Sandy charity and $5,000 to the Jefferson County Fourth Street Health Center. And now we have adopted this park and are trying to make a difference in the neighborhood," remarked Wade.
"I grew up in Hundred, W.Va. I am just an old farm boy and I am back cutting grass and trimming weeds. But I plan on helping out here every week this summer," laughed Wade.
"God is good. He has been good to me and this is my way of giving back," said John Graebing Jr. before he started his weed wacker and started cutting the high grass.
His next project is cutting a tree that has overgrown the fence.
"I'll bring my chain saw next time and take care of the tree and get this area cleaned up," he promised.

DANKA,MVS & GEB - thanks for the kind words,
I'm not sure my work is especially clean compared to others, as I dont think my method is that distinguished, I usually start from a very detailed pencil sketch, ironing out all the design details, so I'm not guessing with the paintbrush, I use the pencil marks as part of the paint-job itself, they really help keep everything in check. And quite a few layers too, this keeps everything distinct and clean.

Cheers guys,
Here's a couple more images from the book,
Sigmund Nastrazurro has blogged an insightful analysis of it, @ (planetfuraha.blogspot.com) amongst some other really good articles on speculative biology and biomechanics, if you're serious about getting nitty gritty with the actual fabric of concepting new lifeforms his website is a good place to get familiar with the challenges, it goes into real detail. (for example there's a detailed endoskeleton design vs practical application article here.
