A person eating a seudah on Hoshanah Rabbah wanted to continue eating his seudah when Shmini Etzeres already started. He was "pores mappah", made kiddush and continued to eat. Now, after a meal eaten wholly on Hoshanah Rabbah, one says "Sukkos" in Yaleh V'Yavo in Bircas HaMazon; after a meal eaten wholly on Shmini Etzeres, one says "Shmini Etzeres". So what about this felow who started on Hoshanah Rabbah and ended on Shmini Etzeres: When he recites Bircas HaMazon what day should be mentioned in Yaleh V'Yavo, "Sukkos" or "Shmini Etzeres"? What's the reason why and please cite all sources.

The Pri Megadim in Ashel Avraham Siman 188 Sif-Katan 18 discusses this exact shailo. He writes that it is similar to the shailo of when Rosh Chodesh comes out after Shabbos and one eats after nightfall. According to the Taz one mentions both Shabbos and Rosh Chodesh. He said so to in this case one would mention both Sukkos and Shmini Atzeres (which is quite surprising since it's not 2 seperate things.) However (if I understand correctly) he says that according to the Magen Avraham one "wouldn't say". What I believe he means is that one wouldn't say Sukkos and would only say Shmini Atzeres that is because in the case of Rosh Chodesh coming out Motzei Shabbos the M"A holds that if one eats when it's already night they only mention Rosh Chodesh and not Shabbos.

We are committed to maintaining the safety of our community and buildings. At the core of campus safety is the University's Protection and Transportation Services Department. This office has 300 uniformed officers and management personnel operating around the clock. All officers are required to receive annual training in CPR, automated external defibrillation, terrorism training, bomb threat response, and more than a dozen other specialties. Protection Services works closely with the New York Police Department and is designated to receive special emergency alerts.
Emergencies can happen anywhere at any time, and can include everything from severe weather to a fire. Keeping yourself safe and preparing yourself for an urgent situation is vital to how you handle an actual emergency. Take some time to review this material and work out scenarios of your own. Your personal safety is our top priority.
New York City's crime rate is at an historic low. But, that doesn't mean you should let down your guard. Whether you live in the nation's largest city, or a smaller suburb, this set of common sense safety tips will serve you well, allowing you to be an advocate for your own personal safety both here and abroad.
Most fires appear contained when they first start, but can quickly spread uncontrollably. Below are links to important fire safety information at the University. In addition, all students living in NYU residence halls receive specific evacuation instructions when they first move in. Naturally, the three most important things to keep in mind during a fire are to stay calm, activate the building's alarm, and evacuate immediately.
Severe Weather
Customarily, New York City continues to operate with few reductions in service during bad weather. When severe weather is imminent, the University continually monitors conditions to determine whether a closure is necessary. This is typically done in consultation with the New York City Mayor's Office to insure proper coordination should a closing be necessary. While several factors are taken into consideration, the primary focus is on the safety of the University community.
New York University monitors anything that may have an impact on the University conducting business, such as traffic problems, transit conditions, water and electrical service, and labor disputes. Anything that has an impact on University operations will be assessed and posted on this site, as well as the NYU hotline.

I recently gave an answer for this question. Not only is it a fairly basic question, but its answer can be easily derived from the official documentation freely available on the net.
My answer was short, and in the spirit of "take this, this and this, and go fill the blanks by yourself with your own brain". I could have spent the same amount of time just giving the person the piece of code for him to copy verbatim.
I rather preferred to teach the man to fish, instead of giving him the fish cooked and chewed. However, shortly afterwards descended a barrage of answers in the style of full fledged Wikipedia articles, which of course ended with more up-votes.
Aren't these answers diminishing the purpose of this website?

I'm trying to create a messaging system where a message's sender and recipients can be generic entities. This seems fine for the sender, where there is only object to reference (GenericForeignKey) but I can't figure out how to go about this for the recipients (GenericManyToManyKey ??)
Below is a simplified example. PersonClient and CompanyClient inherit attributes from Client but have their own specific details. The last line is the sticking point. How do you allow message recipients to be a set of CompanyClients and PersonClients

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Some big issues were on the table for discussion Wednesday as Junction City officials sat down for a one-on-one meeting with members of the community.
Junction City's City Manager Jerry Vernon and other city leaders met with citizens at La Fiesta Restaurant on Chestnut Street Wednesday afternoon for an informal meeting called "Coffee Conversations with the City Manager."
"These conversations that I have with the community help myself and help the city commission make some of the tough decisions... It's all about transparency. They see what we're doing, they give me comments on what they would like and what they don't like and the commission listens and really better decisions, I think, are made," Vernon said of his laid-back meetings.
One of the topics addressed over lunch was the 2013 budget. A first draft was presented at the Junction City Commission meeting Tuesday night and it includes a city tax decrease for property owners.
"I unveiled the 2013 budget last night. It was an introduction to the commission and the community. As we expected, we did some tremendous things in our recovery and now we're reaping the benefits of those seeds that we sowed in last year's budget and I'm able to reduce the mill levy coming out of the start. Now we have a tremendous amount of work to do, there's union contracts to be negotiated yet but on its face, this initial draft is about a 2 mill levy decrease. That's good news for the community," Vernon told 13 News.
The group also talked about Tuesday night's 3-2 vote by the city commission for Junction City to take control of its public works operations from Veolia Water.
"Our fiscal transformation plan- this was another method to stabilize the city by taking over the operations, taking command and control of those operations which are the lifeblood of any city and so last night, it passed through the commission on a 3 to 2 vote. We amended the contracts, restated them. Veolia is going to continue with our water and waste water treatment plants however, the remaining streets, trash, building maintenance, fleet maintenance, water and sewer distribution and other items will now be retained and controlled by the city. If we have fiscal problems in the future, we can now make cuts on the whole pie, all of the city departments instead of three quarters of them and that's huge…. In the future, we may look at privatization again. I'm not totally against it. But in this instance, it wasn't working and we needed to get it back to where we had command and control and continue the recovery process," the city manager explained.
Officials say the move will save the city more than $500,000 a year.
"I started in 2010. I said 2010 was fiscal crisis, 2011 was recovery, the 2012 budget represents stability and now I'm looking at 2013 as normalcy. Junction City's normal operations are going to be different because of our huge debt than most cities but we can still look at returning to doing what normal cities do and that's been tremendously satisfying for me, the community has stepped up to the plate, the employees stepped up to the plate. It looks like we're getting through all this mess," Vernon said.
In March, the Kansas Senate gave first-round approval to legislation giving Junction City more flexibility in managing its debt.
The measure would give the city an additional three years to reduce the ratio of outstanding debt to its total property valuation. The limit would remain at 37 percent under the bill through June 2016.
Junction City issued bonds in the past decade to make improvements related to the return of the Army's 1st Infantry Division to Fort Riley. City officials and supporters of the debt extension said the expected level of growth didn't occur, leaving the city in financial difficulty.
The bill cleared the House in February and would go to Gov. Sam Brownback on final Senate passage.
The next community conversation meeting will be held June 26, 2012 at the C.L. Hoover Opera House on West 7th Street in at 7 PM.

I would like to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS6 but I'm wondering if I will get performance loss (as when I upgraded my iPhone 3G to iOS4 : terrible). Can someone confirm that it won't affect my day to day use?
I have been running iOS 6 since Friday night (I ran the Golden Master that became release) on my iPhone 4.
Safari feels snappier (and show improvement on SunSpider benchmarks).
I have not noticed any degradation like the 3G iOS 4 craziness that apple gave us (I went through that as well).
I am very happy and using it (everyday) and it feels a bit better in most things than 5.
I'm running iOS 6 on iPhone 4 and the first thing I noticed is a clear performance boost. Everything feels smoother and snappier. Animations are more fluid too.
I have iPhone 4 and yesterday i upgraded it to iOS 6. But really - i can't find performance change. New maps, new apps...but that's all. For me there is no performance change, or it just too small and i can't feel it now
I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 6 and haven't noticed any performance or battery life issues. In fact, the phone is 18 months old (so the battery isn't new), and before charging it earlier today, it was at 14% battery with 2 days 20 hours of standby, 5 hours 30 minutes of usage. I'd say that's pretty good!

One of the questions (examples?) in the Mah Nishtana is why on all other nights we eat leavened bread or matzah and tonight (Passover) we only eat matzah. However in the introduction to the seder we state "This is the bread of our affliction..." which would seem to explain why we are eating matzah. Since this introduction is said before the Mah Nishtana how do we understand the question regarding eating matzah?
Sign up

Firstly, it should be noted that the text of Mah Nishtana predates that of "Hei Lachma Anya". Ma Nishtana was around in the time of the Beis Hamikdosh (see Pesachim 116a), whereas according to most opinions "Hei Lachma Anya" was established during the exile in Bavel, as is evident from the fact it was written in Aramaic (Machzor Vitri, Ravya Siman 525, Rashbatz in Yavin Shemu'a 49:3). Therefore, the question is really not on the Mah Nishtana, but rather on the placement of "Hei Lachma Anya" beforehand.
The Hagadah "Siach Yitzchok" (Hagr"i Milatzan, page 7 – quoted in HaSeder Haaruch vol. 2 pg. 124 footnote 6) asks this question, and suggests that due to the concern that the children might fall asleep before "Mah Nishtana", and will miss out hearing the story of the Exodus from Egypt, they placed an abridged version of the story at the very beginning of the Seder, in "Hei Lachma Anya". However, this is very difficult to fathom for several reasons: 1) Mah Nishtana is the very next paragraph, and we then immediately answer by saying "Avadim Hayinu". If we were concerned the children might fall asleep, we could should have placed it at the begining of the Seder, not minutes before we answer the questions! 2) "Hei Lachma Anya" does not even mention that we were slaves in Egypt and came out, just the food we ate there. (I did not see the actual Hagada, just what was quoted in "Haseder Haaruch", so it is possible he addresses these concerns).
In contrast, several Rishonim (Machzor Vitri, Rashbatz in Yavin Shemu'a 49:3) explain that "Hei Lachma Anya" was actually placed before Mah Nishtana in order to let the children know that we will only be eating Matza tonight, and they will be aroused to ask the Mah Nishtana. This too is hard to understand, as a general question can be asked on the rest of Mah Nishtana – how do the children know we are going to eat Maror, dip it in Charoses, or that we will only be eating leaning? If they deduce it from the contents of the Seder plate, why is Matza any different?
Others explain (HaSeder Haruch vol 3. Page 119) that paragraph only serves to answer why we just broke the Matza in half (it is "bread of affliction", and we are like poor people who hide some of their food for later), but not the main question of why eat Matzah. However this does not fit with the fact that in most Haggadas this passage comes after the symbol for "Maggid" (see the Rambam's Nusach Hahagah for example).
The question can be answered through a deeper understanding of what exactly "Hei Lachma Anya" means. There are several strong questions on this paragraph:
Based on the above questions, the Lubavitcher Rebbe (Likkutey Sichos vol. 17 pg. 80) concludes that it is clear that something very different is happening in this paragraph, and suggests the following novel and fascinating explanation:
This paragraph is actually a prelude to the story of the Exodus, and is pivotal in order to clarify a troubling problem that we are faced with as we embark in relating the story of the Exodus. As we recount the story of how Hashem took our ancestors out of Egypt, we are bothered by the question: What is this all worth if today we find ourselves in exile again? As we say later in the Hagada, "In every generation they rise against us to destroy us". The Jews are dispersed across the world, hated by their neighbours and constantly persecuted. Sure, historically it's a fascinating story, but practically speaking, what are we celebrating?
We therefore ask – could we possibly say (metaphorically speaking) that our ancestors tasted the "bread" of redemption? This is "bread of affliction", as the redemption was short-lived and we are back in exile. Just look around and notice that there are starving people who cannot afford the basic needs of a Seder and need to be invited to other homes! We are slaves in exile, what is there to rejoice for tonight?
We answer this question with the closing words of the passage: "Next year we will be in the Land of Israel ... next year we will be free people." To explain, one could ask the question: If Hashem is so perfect, how come He could not have made the redemption from Egypt a complete one, not followed by further suffering? The answer is of course He could, but He wanted it to come from us. Nonetheless, Hashem's part in the redemption was complete and Yetzias Mitzrayim continues to provide us with the potential to fulfil our part. We are thus commanded to remember the Exodus every day of our life, for this is the Divine source we need to utilize to actualize the finale redemption.
So to answer the question: This paragraph does not contain an explanation for why we eat Matza - that will be addressed later in the Hagadah when we ask "Matza Zu She'anu Ochlim.." It's purpose is to explain the relevance of the celebrate of Pesach nowadays. It is therefore understandable why the child asks why we eat Matza in the "Ma Nishtana".
I'm going to give a more simplistic answer, which is how I understand the haggada based on the commentary of Abarbanel.
When we say Ha Lachma Anya, we are not referring to the reason why we eat the matza. Lachma Anya is the Aramaic version of Lechem Oni, which is how matza is described in the Torah. But rather than translate that as "bread of our affliction", perhaps a better translation would be "meager bread", referring to the "poor" makeup of the matza and it's meager appearance. We do make a passing reference to the fact that our ancestors ate this bread in Egypt, but we make no mention of why they ate it in Egypt. True, they ate it with the Passover offering before they left, but why? The point of this paragraph is not to address this issue, so we don't get into it until later, when we mention R' Gamliel's statement.
One of the questions of the Mah Nishtana is about the matzah, but notice that we never specifically answer that question until much later. Avadim Hayinu doesn't seem to answer it at all. Truthfully, the point of Mah Nishtana is not to ask about the matzah and marror and other things specifically, but rather to ask about the following: Why do we do some things (like matzah and marror) that imply poverty and slavery, and then other things (like dipping and leaning) that imply freedom and wealth? Why are we being inconsistent? The answer to this is going to be that because we were freed on this night. We started off as slaves and became free men. So we so things to commemorate both. That's all that Avadim Hayinu is coming to say.
Now, this question comes from the perspective of someone who already knows a little about what's going on. We haven't taken out the marror, we've only dipped once, we made only a passing reference to matza. This is not an ignorant child asking. In fact, Abarbanel believes that this question is not necessarily designed for children. We are asking the question ourselves; the question-answer format is part of the traditional setup. It is only over time that the tradition became for the children to say the Mah Nishtana since it is their general roles to be asking questions on this night, just their questions weren't "canonized" into the haggada. So it became their "job" to recite the Mah Nishtana; but of course we would still recite it regardless if any children are present.
So, to answer your question, why would anyone ask the reason for eating matza when we've already said that matza is lachma anya? Well, first, because lachma anya has nothing to do with why we eat matza. And secondly, because the question of Mah Nishtana is not why we eat matza, but why we do things that imply slavery and poverty at all.

Find groups $G$ and $H$ and a surjective homomorphism $\alpha: G \to H$ such that $\alpha(Z(G)) \neq Z(H)$
My answer:
Let $G$ and $H$ both be cyclic groups of order 4.
Define $\alpha: G \to H$ such that $g \in G \to I_h \in H$.
So now the center of $G$, $Z(G)$ is all of $G$ and it is getting mapped by $\alpha$ to $I_h$. $Z(H) =$ all of $H = \{I_h, a, a^2, a^3\}$ which is not equal to $\{I_h\}$.
Does that look correct?
* EDIT: Revised answer, does this look correct? *
Let $G$ be the dihedral group or order 8:
$\{I_G, a, a^2, a^3, x, ax, a^2x, a^3x \}$
Let $H$ by the cyclic group of order $8$.
$\{I_G, b, b^2, b^3, b^4, b^5, b^6, b^7 \}$
Define a surjective homomorphism $\alpha:G \to H$ as
$I_G \to I_H$
$ a\to b$
$ a^2\to b^2$
$ a^3\to b^3$
$ x\to b^4$
$ ax\to b^5$
$ a^2x\to b^6$
$ a^3x\to b^7$
Now $Z(G) = \{I_G, a^2\}$ and $Z(H) = H$.
Therefore, $\alpha(Z(G)) = \{I_H, b^2\} \neq H = Z(H)$
Does that look correct?

Ash's Pignite
this wiki
This Pignite is a fire/fighting-type Pokémon owned by Ash. It is the third Pokémon that Ash obtained in the Unova region. It is also the only Unova starter in Ash's team that ever evolved.
BiographyBefore the events of The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice! in the Accumula Town Battle Club, Pignite was abandoned by his trainer as a Tepig. The then-yet to be identified trainer had tied a rope a rope around Tepig's neck, tied it to a post, and left it to die. Ash discovered Tepig eating the bait he and Iris laid out for him and realized that it was actually a Tepig covered in soot and proceeded to catch him.
Since Ash promised to use him in his first Gym Battle, Tepig fought against Chili's Pansear in Triple Leaders, Team Threats. His attacks did not do much damage to Pansear, whose Fire Punch, Flamethrower and Dig attacks hit Tepig hard. Tepig then managed to bite Pansear's tail and send it flying, thus winning Ash the gym badge. Tepig was confirmed male in Snivy Plays Hard to Catch! when he was hit by a wild Snivy's Attract, forcing Ash to recall him.
In A Rival Battle for Club Champ!, Tepig battled against Trip's Tranquill. Like Oshawott, Tepig was defeated by Tranquill's Super Luck-boosted Aerial Ace. Tepig battled Lenora's Lillipup in The Battle According to Lenora and was forced back into his Poké Ball by Lillipup's Roar. After training in Rematch at the Nacrene Gym, he battled Lenora's Herdier where he won using his newly learned Flame Charge attack.
In Ash and Trip's Third Battle!, Ash used Tepig against Trip's Vanillite. Despite the type advantage Tepig had, the match ended in a draw. In Battle For The Underground!, while trying to remove Team Rocket from the Battle Subway in Nimbasa City, Tepig learned Flamethrower. Tepig battled alongside Cilan's Pansage in Lost at the Stamp Rally! where they were battling against Subway Masters Emmet and Ingo's Chandelure and Eelektross while in the Battle Subway. It's unknown if they won or lost. Tepig evolved into Pignite in Evolution by Fire! and turned the tide in the battle against his former trainer as he defeated his Emboar and Heatmor with its newly learned Fire Pledge and finished off with Flame Charge.
In Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!, Pignite was used against Brycen's Cryogonal and Beartic. He was able to take out Cryogonal by using Fire Pledge to aim for the center of the Rapid Spin but lost to Beartic when it used Aerial Ace for its Fighting-type weakness.
In Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2), Pignite was up against Roxie's Scolipede and after his Flame Charge was blocked by Scolipede's Screech and its Sludge Bomb was intercepted by Pignite's Flamethrower, Pignite used the smoke to his advantage and hit Scolipede with Flame Charge. However, Pignite got knocked out by Garbodor's Hyper Beam.
Pignite battled Dawn's Mamoswine in The Mystery of the Missing Cubchoo!. Pignite managed to dodge Mamoswine's Hidden Power by quickly jumping and then hitting Mamoswine with a very powerful Flame Charge. It managed to counter Mamoswine's Ice Shard with Flamethrower and Mamoswine used Take Down followed by Hidden Power. Pignite used Flame Charge and hit the Hidden Power head on, knocking both out and ending the battle in a draw. Pignite battled Trip's Serperior in BW094 in the final round of the Junior Cup. Although it had the advantage, it couldn't land a single hit, even after using Flame Charge multiple times to increase its speed. Serperior eventually finished it with Frenzy Plant, knocking Ash out of the tournament and winning Trip the Junior Cup.

- Pignite is the first Fire-type Ash owned that didn't know Flamethrower when caught.
- Pignite also shares some similarities with Ash's Charizard and Infernape:
- All of them are Fire-types that evolved from Starter Pokémon at least once.
- All of them were abandoned by their original trainer because that trainer thought they were weak.[2]
- All of them became among Ash's most powerful Pokémon, proving that their original trainers had been wrong about their strength.

In connection with this MO post, here is a question somewhat implicitly contained in a joint paper of S. Kopparty, S. Saraf, M. Sudan, and myself.
Let ${\mathbb F}$ be a finite field, and suppose that $\varphi_0\colon{\mathbb F}\mapsto{\mathbb F}$ is a function from ${\mathbb F}$ to itself. For each $a\in{\mathbb F}$, consider the function $\varphi_a\colon{\mathbb F}\mapsto{\mathbb F}$ defined by $\varphi_a(x)=\varphi_0(x)+ax$ ($x\in{\mathbb F}$).
Is it true that if $q:=|{\mathbb F}|$ is even, then there exists $a\in{\mathbb F}$ such that the image of $\varphi_a$ has size larger than $2q/3$?
(A negative answer would yield an improvement on the known bounds for the smallest size of a Kakeya set in the vector spaces ${\mathbb F}^n$.)
It may be worth explaining where the coefficient $2/3$ comes from. In the aforementioned paper, we show that if $q$ is an even power of $2$, then for $\varphi_0(x)=x^3$ one has $\max_a |\varphi_a({\mathbb F})|\le(2q+1)/3$, whereas if $q$ is an odd power of $2$, then for $\varphi_0(x)=x^{q-2}+x^2$ one has $\max_a |\varphi_a({\mathbb F})|\le2(q+\sqrt q+1)/3$. The question is whether one can get better bounds for an appropriate choice of the function $\varphi_0$.

I'm closing to wiping out an enemy civilization but cannot find their remaining units and cities. How can I do this?
Otherwise you just need to send your units out searching. If you see one of his units, its likely that his city is somewhere nearby, so focus your searching in that area. Keep in mind that to wipe out another civ, you only have to conquer thier cities, so don't worry about hunting down each unit. You should be able to see how many cities they have left by bringing up the diplomacy screen and looking at the section that lists cities they can trade. Capitals can't be traded, so it will be one more than what is listed.

I am planning to travel to Peru, and one of the things that I do like to do every place I visit is to try out the local dishes like: Cozido das Furnas on Azores. I would like to know what are some of the local dishes in Peru and where are the best places to try them?
I too am like you and hunted out the local foods while I was there. Here are some of my highlights:
Actually, come to think of it, if you're going to Lima, there's a good chance you're staying in the Miraflores area. Lots of hostels there. Ask where the mall is on the cliff overlooking the ocean. It has a cinema, bowling alley etc. However, there's a local Peruvian buffet restaurant there, which lets you try all sorts of different Peruvian foods. A local friend took me there and it was fantastic!
Also have a read of what Wikitravel has to say about Peruvian food - some good ideas there!
It is a near-guarantee that you will eat several doses of lomo saltado while traveling in Peru. The dish features sauteed sirloin, some stir-fried vegetables, white rice, and lightly fried potatoes. The dish is ubiquitous in Peru, usually well-prepared, and quite cheap. You should be able to feast on some lomo saltado wherever your travels take you in beautiful Peru.
Let me detail you some of the food you can find here.
And i could go on with many dishes like carapulcra, rocoto relleno, caldo de cabeza, papa a la huancaina, seco de cabrito, etc.
if you want to try most of these dishes at once you should ask in the hotel reception for where you can find a "Buffet Criollo". If i can suggest you a site there is a restaurant in Larcomar in front of the Marriot Hotel.
Restaurants: (I will add more later...)
Note: As for drinks i strongly suggest Pisco Sour. Don't get too many this drink is really tricky you can get drunk really fast ;)

Example [When there are themes on the Themes folder] , there is a value on table of :
I could get an explanation of what does the "a" and "i" mean from HERE , but the "s:" is what i do not know what does it mean. If i tried to change the s:37 to s:6 or any other value , the plugin becomes deactivated , so the s:37 <<< the 37 must mean something or related to the plugin somehow and that`s what i am trying to find out.

About Physician Assistant Program
Missions, Goals and Competencies
The primary mission of the Saint Louis University Physician Assistant Program is to educate men and women to become competent, compassionate physician assistants dedicated to excellence in healthcare and the service of humanity.
PAs are educated according to the medical model in a manner that complements the education of the physician. This similarity of instruction and training enhances the working relationship between the PA and the physician.
The SLU PA Program remains successful in attaining its goals related to the education of PA students, including the following:
- The program seeks to produce graduates who are competent in the knowledge required of a PA program graduate.
- The program seeks to produce graduates who are competent in the skills and abilities necessary for practice as a PA.
- The program seeks to produce graduates who are competent in the attitudes and behaviors imperative for the PA profession.
Measures for evaluating achievement of these goals include excellent patient care and professionalism as assessed by preceptors who evaluate students during clinical rotations, formative and summative faculty assessments of students, a long history of outstanding scores and first-time pass rates on the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam (PANCE) and excellent job placement rates.
The competency-based curriculum provides the entry-level graduate with the fundamental knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to function in a variety of roles within numerous clinical disciplines. The program seeks to produce graduates who are competent in the following areas:
The graduate should have a working knowledge of each of the following:
- the clinical preparatory and pre-clinical sciences to include the applied behavioral sciences
- the range of expected norms in patients of all ages
- the signs and symptoms of disease and their relationship to one another
- pathophysiology sufficient to identify deviations from the expected norms in patients of all ages
- the norms for psychological and social behaviors and the recognition of deviations from these expected norms
- fundamental health maintenance and patient management regimens
- the problem solving process and how it may be applied to identifying health problems
- the technical and human resources available to the primary health care provider
- the role of the physician assistant within the health care team
- the resources available for continued professional development
The graduate should acquire the competencies and skills to:
- recognize the signs and symptoms of disease, while understanding their relationship to each other
- obtain, organize and construct a clinical assessment which accurately describes the information available for a given patient at a given time
- develop a problem list from the clinical assessment
- apply problem-solving methods in clinical situations
- manage common health problems with physician supervision
- communicate empathetically and compassionately with patients
- communicate effectively with physicians and other members of the health care team
- competently perform technical procedures
The graduate should embrace and demonstrate the following:
- respect for self, others and the right to privacy as well as respect for the PA profession
- appropriate value judgments with respect to interpersonal relationships with peers, superiors, patients and their families
- recognition of commitment and service to humanity, especially to the patient and the patient's family
- recognition of moral, ethical and legal implications of his or her actions
- recognition of patient and provider rights and restrictions
- appreciation of cultural and value system disparities among varied populations of all socioeconomic levels
- responsibility for maintaining continued clinical and professional competency
The program's general educational philosophy was founded on the premise that experiential learning is the most effective form of learning, and that it can be best achieved within an environment which:
- encourages the participation of the whole person in the learning process
- promotes self-initiated discovery
- influences the learner's behavior and attitudes and has meaning for the learner
- allows the learner to assess the acquisition of new knowledge, skills and attitudes which occur with effective learning
This philosophy of education serves as the foundation of the program's goals and objectives, and in defining the entry-level competencies expected of the graduate physician assistant.

Sencha is extremely unresponsive
I have some pre-sales questions about some Sencha products. I've sent multiple emails through the Contact form (over days) and called repeatedly, and have yet to get any response or get through to anyone on the phone (vs leaving a voicemail). Before spending $755 or even more, I'd like to know that there's some actual support behind this company. A quick Google gives hits such as this: https://twitter.com/g1011010/statuse...80906839642112, so this isn't just my experience.
So what's going on? Anyone at Sencha care to say anything about this, or will this also go ignored?

"If you have a questions, please use http://www.sencha.com/contact to submit your questions.

Really? That's why I posted here. I already asked at least 2 questions using your form. Days ago. I see no response. Were any sent?
28 Jun 2012 10:38 AM #5
Is this the question ?
What visual design tools, from you or anyone else, support GXT 3.0? I already know that the Google Windowbuilder product will not support it.
Also, is there a reason for the mixed references to "Ext GWT" and "GXT" on your site since as far as I can tell they are exactly the same thing?
28 Jun 2012 10:53 AM #6
Yes, it's one question. I also asked, as I recall, about 'Sencha Complete' and inclusion of GXT with it (I'm gathering not but wanted to be sure.) Were any replies actually sent?
28 Jun 2012 11:11 AM #7
GXT is not part of Sencha Complete. As for the naming, Ext GWT is the old name, we now call the product GXT.
On visual Design tools, we do not have any for GXT
1 Jul 2012 1:01 PM #8
The best part of these replies? No apology whatsoever. I hope you guys emailed this person.
I know I gripe a fair amount about Sencha on the forum, but it's because I really do want you to succeed and am trying to highlight what it looks like from the side of the customer/user. If I didn't, I'd just leave.

Hi guys,
Sorry that our contact form didn't work as expected and that we didn't get you an answer faster. We all monitor the forums, so you have a high probability of getting a timely, and hopefully friendly, response here. Feel free to PM/email me if you have any more questions.

Winter may be over two months away, but right now is the time for area cattle farmers to make certain they will have the right amount of hay to get through the upcoming season.
Warren County's agricultural extension agent Luther Smith says dry conditions this past summer cut down on hay production. That forced some farmers to use up some of their feed. He says those farmers did not have as much pasture going into the fall season as they usually have.
However, one Warren County cattle farmer and hay producer has been fortunate. Ronnie Hargett tells Hometown Television that he's had the right amount of rains in a timely manner, which greatly helped the quality of his hay. He says the moisture his fields received gave added nutrients to the ground, which are beneficial to cattle.
Hargett has been shipping hay to southern states such as Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee, areas of the country that have been plagued by drought in 2002.

The 5 Most WTF Video Game Endings of All Time
To say that video games don't really conform to the rules of traditional storytelling is a bit of an understatement. In fact, there are no rules at all -- from heartfelt final scenes with our favorite characters to abrupt black screens that say "CONGRATURATIONS," you really never know what to expect after the final boss goes down for the last time.
But even then, some games still manage to surprise you. Mainly because their endings are so completely out of left field that you wonder if the whole game leading up to it had been one big prank on the player ...
#5. MDK Throws You into a French Music Video
Depending on who you talk to, MDK stands for either "Mission: Deliver Kindness" or "Murder Death Kill." The former is the official name according to the manual, and the latter is what everybody who played the game called it. It's kind of crude, but it also made sense, since the game was really violent and forced you to do nothing but kill aliens to death in a murder-esque fashion.
The boner bar in the upper left is almost maxed out.
Your character, Kurt Hectic, runs down all the aliens and then chases their leader, Gunter Glut, back to his home planet and kills him, probably after mocking him for being named Gunter Glut. Kindness has been delivered, and the world is saved! Or at least Hectic thought it was. Little did he know that he had doomed humanity to a fate worse than death.
The WTF Ending:
After free falling onto one final alien ship, Hectic realizes it isn't a war zone so much as an arena. And the headlining act is Billy Ze Kick, a French pop band whose biggest claim to fame is, well, this. They perform a rollicking little number called "Non, Non, Rien N'a Change," which translates to "What in the Name of Holy Fuck Am I Staring At?"
And something about crepes, maybe?
While the vocalist alternates between singing on the ground and singing in the air, a bunch of bosses you murder-death-killed earlier in the game act as her band, because this ending would have made no sense if it was just a girl singing with nothing around her to make the music.
As she keeps singing and flying and n'a change-ing like she just don't care, Hectic begins to slowly go crazy. So utter destruction and hundreds of dead bodies don't faze him, but a pop star with crazy eyes, warbling words he does not understand, is what brings out the PTSD.
The German version of "99 Red Balloons" once made him burn down a school.
Then, just to give Hectic one more reason to scream, the alien band comes back to play again, all while scenes of their deaths play like a Vietnam flashback. Finally, after what feels like 500 years but was actually just over three minutes, Hectic collapses in a heap, the song begins to skip, the screen fades to black, and we're left to stare blankly at our television and wonder if our lives have meaning.
#4. Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special Ends With Your Suicide
Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special is a pro wrestling game, although you might not have deduced that from its enigmatic and confusing title. You work your way up the ladder against famous wrestlers with names changed to protect the company's wallets. After you beat the tar out of Axe Duggan (Hulk Hogan) and Astro Blaster (Ultimate Warrior), you get a shot at the Champ, a Ric Flair ripoff named (seriously) Dick Slender.
Quick, what's Japanese for "WOOOOOOO"?
In the end, you beat Slender and take his title. You're on top of the world! And the game immediately pushes you straight back down.
The WTF Ending:
Well, there you go. No more ever needs to be said.
Slender is more than a wrestling villain named after something Bart Simpson would prank call Moe with. No, he's a murderer. Consumed by hatred over your rapid rise up the ranks, he resorts to "accidentally" killing your trainer AND tag-team partner, and then laughing about it. Also, he mocks you after you accidentally (for real this time) kill a friend of yours during a match.
Oh, walk it off, drama queen.
In the midst of all this, your girlfriend leaves you, because if you're aiming for tragedy, you might as well go all-out. So you're world champion, but then you realize a sobering fact: That's ALL you are. A guy with a belt. All your friends are dead (one at your hands), your girl is gone, and your fans only care about you because you're winning. Outside of the ring, you're all alone. You have no one to share your glory with, and there's nothing left to attain.
Suddenly, this ceases to be a victory pose and becomes a man cursing the heavens.
Three days later, the game zooms in on your house. A single shot is heard, and the camera fades to black. Yes, you've just committed suicide, which we assume will hinder your ability to defend your title anytime soon.
Holy shit, even in a survival horror game dealing with psychological torture and madness, having the main character off himself would be an unexpected punch in the gut. This is a game about men in tights who pretend fight each other! Although, considering what goes on in the actual world of pro wrestling, it's shockingly appropriate.
#3. Indigo Prophecy Has You Fight the Internet and an Ancient Mayan, With No Warning Whatsoever
Indigo Prophecy is a combination psychological adventure game and proof of what happens when deadlines meet creative thought and beat the living shit out of it.
Your character, Lucas Kane, wakes up from a random blackout to learn that he's randomly murdered somebody, which, as anyone who's blacked out and randomly committed murder knows, tends to wreak havoc on your plans for the day.
"So much for hanging around this bathroom and soliciting sex."
Other than that and the occasional hallucination, the game is actually an exercise in normalcy and boringness. In fact, doing boring things in a boring way is how you keep your sanity level down. Take a shower, play some guitar, drink wine, pick your nose -- those are your objectives the entire time.
The WTF Ending:
There are actually three, but none involve being a square and returning to life in the slow lane. However, they all do involve superpowers, Mayans, and evil Internet creatures, none of which was foreshadowed in the least.
With less than an hour to play in the game, the following out-of-nowhere twists do a giant pig pile on your ass: Lucas dodges bullets and jumps hundreds of feet in the air. A Mayan Oracle is revealed to be controlling Lucas' blackouts, and the world. Lucas eats a giant bowl of death stew. Yellow creatures from the Internet (bafflingly called the "Purple Clan") revive him. Finally, the Yellow Purple People reveal plans to freeze Earth, and only an autistic girl called the Indigo Child can stop them.
His name is "Red."
Depending on which ending you choose, the Indigo Child dies and the Mayan rules the world in secret, the Mayan wins and then goes away, or the Internet creatures steal the child and freeze the world. You'd think everyone being a Popsicle would make life difficult for a man-made system like the Internet, but remember that this game was released back before anyone really knew how that confounded Series of Tubes actually worked in, uh, 2005.
The point being, not one stinking bit of this is ever hinted at prior to the ending. You're just moseying along, trying hard not to cross over into Kooky Land, when, BAM! You get thrown head-first into it, with no hope of escape. If you gave up on the game after eight-plus hours of drinking coffee and taking showers, you would have seen none of this, and would have no idea what the title's promised prophecy even was.
Or who dropped LSD into your coffee.
Why all the clutter? Because the game's developers, Quantic Dreams, had visions of the game being released in 12 parts. They wanted to experiment with an episodic approach to gaming, one that would have revealed the story at a much slower and far more detailed pace. Of course, selling a game as "slow" is akin to throwing giant bags of money into the wood chipper, so the deadline was ultimately sped up. This forced a lot of buildup to be cut, and the climactic reveals were thrust in our faces like a cream pie that turns out to be full of tiny clowns.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Charlotte softball team split a pair of Atlantic 10 games against visiting Saint Louis, Friday afternoon at the D.L. Phillips Complex.
Charlotte (21-25, 7-9 A-10) won game one 4-2 and fell 6-4 to Saint Louis (23-19, 11-7) in game two.
In game one, Charlotte clinched an early 2-0 lead in the first inning. Natalie Capone and Alex Rogers led off with back-to-back singles. Capone and Rogers advanced to second and third after a groundout but Samantha Slade helped the 49ers get on the board. With two outs, Slade singled to right field driving in Capone and Rogers to put Charlotte up 2-0.
Saint Louis tied the game in third inning. With one out, Lindsay Friedman hit a solo home run to cut Charlotte's lead to 2-1. Laura Bohning singled to left field and Jessica Van Nostrand reached base after being hit by a pitch. Kelsey Biggs hit a double to centerfield, scoring Bohning and tying the game.
The Niners took advantage of three walks and a hit from Briana Gwaltney in the third inning to regain the lead 3-2.
Charlotte extended its advantage to 4-2 in the fourth inning. After Lang singled to centerfield, Capone blasted a RBI- triple, her first of the season to add a run for the 49ers.
The Niners' defense rose to the occasion in the seventh inning after keeping the Billikens scoreless after they loaded the bases with no outs.
Katie Watkins (13-14) went the distance and tossed a complete game for Charlotte. She finished with a game-high three strikeouts. Brianna Lore recorded the loss for SLU and fell to 11-13.
Capone led the 49ers with a pair of hits. Slade was 1-for-3 with a game-leading three RBIs.
In game two, the Billikens used seven hits in the second inning to push to a 6-0 advantage.
Charlotte sliced SLU's advantage to 6-2 in the fourth inning. Chelsea Ingersoll led off the inning with a double to left center. With one out Plemmons hit a RBI-double to right center. Plemmons' double was her 13th of the season which leads the 49ers. A Saint Louis error allowed Kalie Lang to reach first and advanced Plemmons to third. Chelsea Lisikatos' sacrifice fly to left field allowed Plemmons to score.
The Niners added two more runs in the sixth inning with hits from Plemmons and Lang to nip SLU's advantage to 6-4. The 49ers were unable to get any closer as the Billikens recorded a 1-2-3 inning in the seventh to end the game.
Capone finished with two hits and notched her 18th multiple-hit game of the season. Plemmons was 2-for-3 with two runs and a RBI.
Lisikatos (6-10) recorded the loss for Charlotte. Watkins tossed 5.1 innings and didn't allow any runs. SLU's Laney Kneib improved to 12-6 in the circle and allowed five hits.
Charlotte will host Butler on Sunday, April 28 for a A-10 doubleheader beginning at noon. Prior to the game, seniors Lindsey Holloman, Chelsea Stamey, Briana Gwaltney and Kalie Lang will be honored.

I'm looking for a way to create subtle picture effects in
beamer. I've got a few illustrations with a background that contrast offensively against a white background, and look completely out-of-place in my otherwise tamed template.
Something like the following:
For the reference, this particular effect I'm showing is called, I believe, "Soft Edges" in PowerPoint parlance.
Is that possible to do, and how?
This question is by no means restricted to
beamer and this particular effect, so I will be happy to get suggestions how to do it in a general TeX document, and also other (subtle and not so subtle) effects that can be achieved.

The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and Washington state law provide UW employees with certain rights when they enlist in or are called to active duty, or must report to required military duty, training, or drills for any of the following:
These rights are described on a poster that you can view online and include:
See ACT below for the steps you should follow when notified that you will be called to active duty service.
If you are called to serve in one of the uniformed services of the United States, and have used or are about to use all of your accrued annual and paid military leave, you may be eligible to receive shared leave donated from other employees. See the Shared Leave web page for more information. You may also be eligible to request shared leave from the Uniformed Services Shared Leave Pool maintained by the Washington State Military Department. See the Washington Military Department's web resource for more information.
The following tables summarize information about taking and returning from military leave
| Military Leave
|Provision or Entitlement
|In order to retain military leave eligibility, employees must give the UW advance notice before leaving work to go on active duty in a uniformed service.
|Paid military leave
|Eligible employees are entitled to 21 paid work days of military leave per year (October 1 through September 30 - based on federal fiscal year).
|Unpaid military leave
| Unpaid military leave is generally for the duration of active duty, up to five (5) years. Employees who enlist and exhaust the paid military leave entitlement will be considered to be on military leave without pay, unless they have submitted a written resignation from employment to enter uniformed service.
Employees who do not return to UW service within five (5) years will normally be considered to have resigned employment.
|Salary continuation
|There is no salary continuation other than for time in paid military leave, or by using accrued paid leave (if available). However employees on unpaid military leave are eligible to accept shared leave donations from other eligible employees.
|Medical and Dental insurance coverage continuation
State employees continue to receive employer-paid medical and dental insurance while they remain in pay status at least eight (8) hours per month. Under University policy, employees may space out - intersperse - their monthly use of available paid leave and/or compensatory time to retain employer-paid medical and dental insurance benefits for as long as possible while on military leave. The following types of paid leave may be interspersed:
If you are on unpaid military leave and do not intersperse paid leave or self pay, employer-paid medical and dental insurance is suspended.
|Other insurance coverage and retirement benefits
|Contact the UW Benefits Office for information about and assistance with other insurance benefits the UW offers.
Returning to Work After Military Leave
|Condition or Issue
|Provision or Entitlement
|General Provisions
|When an employee returns to his/her regular UW position, the employee receives all of the rights and benefits that he/she would have received if continuously employed. This includes pay increases or other entitlements that the employee would have received had the employee not been on military leave. This means, for example, that time spent on military leave without pay is considered to have been time worked for purposes of determining FMLA eligibility and completion of probationary periods.
|Annual leave accrual rate
|Annual leave does not accrue during unpaid military leave of ten (10) or more days per month. However, upon return to work, the ensuing annual leave accrual rate is adjusted as though the employee had been continuously in pay status.

|Employees request reinstatement no later than 90 days following completion of service
During a period of military conflict, an employee who is the spouse of a member of the armed forces of the United States, National Guard, or reserves who has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty or who has been deployed, is entitled to a total of 15 days of leave per deployment after the service member has been notified of an impending call to active duty and before deployment, or when the service member is on leave from deployment.

Dear all,
I am interested in reverse mathematics. The theory is that most of mathematics can be expressed and proven in ACA0, that is second order logic, with the induction axiom restricted.
However, maybe a stupid question, but how do you restrict the induction axiom in second order logic? If you have the successor function, then the natural numbers can be defined as the closure on that functions. From that definition, if I am not mistaken, the induction axiom follows. So, in fact you do not really have an induction axiom, but you just derive it.
But if it is not an axiom, how do you restrict it?

5 Seemingly Random Factors That Control Your Memory
#2. Looking at the Floor
Picture, in your mind, an elderly person who is desperately struggling to remember a name or event. He's got his hand on his chin, he's muttering to himself ("Was that Steve? No, Steve was in jail that year. Maybe Carl?"). Now let us ask you: Where is he looking?
Either at the floor or the ceiling -- almost as if he expects to find the answer written there. He may also just stare off into space -- anywhere, as long as he's not looking at you. Why?
Psychologists at the University of Scotland got curious enough to whip out their researchin' equipment and set up an experiment to find out what the score is.
It's faces. Your memory is ruined by other people's stupid, stupid faces.
The researchers figured this out by recruiting a bunch of young students at a nearby elementary school and tasking them with a bunch of memory-related tasks. Some of the kids were told they could look anywhere they wanted, including at their teacher, and the rest were instructed to look at a blank piece of paper on the floor.
While wearing ridiculous outfits and being told that the Easter Bunny isn't real.
The kids who looked at the blank sheet did almost 20 percent better than the ones who were allowed to look at their teacher. The reason appears to be that, as social animals, human faces are mentally captivating to us, and thus suck up quite a lot of our concentration. If you want to devote more mental horsepower to solving a problem, you need to look away.
Despite the fact that most people are not actively aware of this problem, our brains are usually able to figure it out as we get older. That is why the older you get, the more you start to instinctively look away from people when you're thinking and the more the "stare muttering at the ceiling while fiddling with your white beard" habit sets in.
"Now where did I put those extremely short, ridiculous pants ag-- Oh, I'm wearing them."
#1. Hand Gestures
Here's something you've probably never wondered: Why do people talk with their hands? Almost everyone gestures when they're talking -- when they're counting down something, they hold up a hand and point to a finger to tick off each point. During an argument, most people can't illustrate their point without almost accidentally karate chopping you in the throat. And Hitler would have been forced to quit politics and try art school again if he hadn't been allowed to use violent hand gestures to swat home each point in his speeches.
Via Wikimedia Commons
He used to make gestures with his mustache, but a particularly violent speech made the ends shoot off.
The reason for this is that the learning/remembering parts of your brain and the "move your hands" part work together. And yes, this means that if you come up with a little preschool hand dance to help you remember a theorem, it will totally work on exam day.
Except for Trevor. That kid is a colossal fuckup.
A University of Rochester psychologist proved this by teaching a bunch of kids to solve math problems using this method. Some were told to talk the problems out as they solved them, others were told to gesture and the last bunch was told to do both. Sure, all were able to solve the problems after a while ... but when the kids were tested again a few weeks later, the group that was only allowed to talk the problems out retained a measly 33 percent of what they'd learned. The kids who just gestured? They retained 80 percent of the info, while the kids who were allowed to gesture and talk came in at a whopping 92 percent.
And yes, another experiment showed that the system is totally applicable to adults as well. Wait, is that why rappers do that thing with their hands?
Pull guns on other rappers?

After 45 years in the registrar's office at Texas A&M University, the last quarter century as the registrar, Donald Carter is bringing his career to a close — but not before overseeing one last time all of the meticulous work that goes into formally awarding Aggies their degrees. He has been instrumental in passing out diplomas to about 340,000 Aggies, approximately 88 percent of all those ever awarded at the state's oldest public university.
In the process, he estimates he has participated in more than 300 graduation ceremonies, which could well be a record nationally.
In addition to preparing diplomas for presentation and coordinating various aspects of those special days in the lives of Aggie graduates and their families and friends, Carter also oversees the daunting task of keeping track of all the students' academic records and related activities. Also, his office maintains transcripts for all students who ever attended Texas A&M.
When he began his Texas A&M career in September of 1966, the university had an enrollment of 10,677, of which about five percent were women, Carter recalls. Now, the student body totals almost 50,000, with about 46 percent of them women.
Carter says he takes special pride in the fact that every Texas A&M student who walks across the stage at graduation actually receives a diploma in the cylinder that is handed out by the president of the university.
"That's a rarity in higher education these days, especially for large universities. Most college students elsewhere are given empty cylinders at their ceremonies and then subsequently receive their diplomas by mail or via some other impersonal capacity," Carter notes. "I am proud that's not the case here."
His colleagues in the registrar's office burn the proverbial midnight oil before each commencement day to get those diplomas ready and to ensure they are passed out properly to each recipient as he or she passes across the stage.
That translates into thousands of students, approximately 3,600 for the three mid-year ceremonies later this week. The process involves even more students for the traditional spring ceremonies, which now require five separate ceremonies over a two-day period.
Carter is himself an Aggie and the recipient of two degrees in earlier days: a BBA in marketing in 1965 and a master's in management the following year.
He began his almost five-decades of service as a graduate assistant. He got his start in the registrar's office under the university's longtime and legendary registrar, H. L. Heaton, a familiar name to thousands of former students who fondly call themselves "Ol' Ags" and whose name now graces the building that formerly housed the registrar's office.
Carter says his most memorable experiences as registrar "have been seeing the joy and anticipations as our students step on to the stage to receive their diploma from our president."
He has worked under the administrations of nine presidents, beginning with Gen. Earl Rudder, who is widely credited with laying the groundwork for the emergence of Texas A&M into the national tier-1 research institution that it is today — and with a student body that ranks among the six largest in the United States.
The university's current president, R. Bowen Loftin a 1970 Texas A&M physics graduate, making him one of the some 340,000 former students whose diplomas were handed out since Carter has been in the registrar's office — calls Carter "an Aggie icon."
"Don Carter has seen more change in Aggieland than almost anyone. One thing has remained constant, however, and that has been Don Carter. Our commencement ceremonies are truly special for our graduates and their families because of the tireless work of Don and his team," Loftin observes. "He will certainly be missed, but I am confident that his legacy and the high standards that he has set will serve us well for years to come and solidify his status as an Aggie icon."
What's in store for Carter when he formally retires Dec. 31? He says he plans to polish his golf game, do a bit of traveling and "smash his alarm clock."
One thing he doesn't plan to do is stray far from his beloved Aggieland. He says he might even attend a graduation ceremony or two — just to see how it looks from the audience.

Just a simple question: is the biblical idea of being born again compatible with eastern religious ideas of reincarnation?

Is the biblical idea of being "born again" compatible with eastern religious ideas of reincarnation?
Being "Born again" and being reincarnated are completely different concepts.
The concept of being born again comes from this Bible passage below. I know it's long but the theological and doctrinal implications found in this passage are profound and critical to understanding what it means to be "born again" and what salvation requires.
That's the essence of being "born again".
Being born again in Christianity is being born of the Spirit. Triune man, consisting of body, soul, and spirit at creation, died spiritually at the fall. Being born again revives the spirit, but body and soul stay the same. This is shown too when Paul says that we have been saved, are saved, and will be saved. This can be interpreted like:
In eastern religions, the spirit never died, but is reborn into new bodies until it has changed enough to earn Nirvana for example.
The idea of reincarnation is not compatible with the Bible. Others have discussed how the phrase "born again" does not mean reincarnation.
The Bible specifically denies reincarnation. Hebrews 9:27, "it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment". We die once and then are judged. We do not die and then be reborn to "try again".
In my opinion, there is no contradiction between Christian concept of paradise and hell vs some other religions' reincarnation.
Maybe person has "two spirits" (for lack for a better term than "spirit" here). One person's spirit goes to paradise or hell and the other is reincarnated.
I am not sure that the above is an accurate picture of reality, but I consider this quite possible and not conflicting with biblical teaching.

Is there any truth to the hypothyroidism diet? Can certain foods increase thyroid function?
Generally, there's no hypothyroidism diet. Although claims about hypothyroidism diets abound, there's no evidence that eating or avoiding certain foods will improve thyroid function in people with hypothyroidism.
If you have hypothyroidism, take thyroid hormone replacement as directed by your doctor — generally with an empty stomach. It's also important to note that too much dietary fiber can impair the absorption of synthetic thyroid hormone. Certain foods, supplements and medications can have the same effect.
Avoid taking your thyroid hormone at the same time as:
To avoid potential interactions, eat these foods or use these products several hours before or after you take your thyroid medication.

If a purchase a Lens from USA amazon and ship it to India, how much custom and duty chanrges will come
closed as too localized by Imre, MikeW♦, John Cavan♦, mattdm, Rowland Shaw Jan 11 '13 at 13:48
This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Ok here's what I understand for duty and custom charges. When you order overseas it gets sent to your country it will go through customs who will then determine whether customs duty will apply. I think in most cases the buyer will have to foot out the bill unless Amazon does it for you. Where I'm from there's 0% tax on photographic equipment so custom duty does not apply for me.
For India it seems like it's a different case and customs and duty does apply:
There's a little link here with a calculator that mentions this (although how current the rates are I'm not sure).
You might want to consider a local purchase even though it may be a little higher if you consider the hassle of going to clear your imports at customs.

My ideal programming language would let me define a custom css that would lay out code according to my specifications of columns/space/brackets placement etc. and check in only content. Everybody gets their own layouts - and hence we avoid all the long winded discussions about styles. A language that could do refactoring of variable names / function names as per my style requirements would be better. Another one that could translate to local language would be awesome!
Is there one such language variant of C/C++? What are the negatives of this?

In towns I always end up with the problem that the dungeon is all the way down there, and my town is always up there (on the surface). Really the only reason I can't move underground is that food can only be grown on the surface.
Is there any food source that I can create/grow underground, thus stopping the need to have townies and heros constantly moving up and down the levels?

Drugs Policy
ReleaseWritten by Works for Freedom (04/03/14)
Release is a centre of expertise on drugs and drugs law.
They provide non-judgemental, specialist advice and information to the public and professionals on issues related to drug use and to drug laws. They advocate for evidence-based research and policies that are founded on public health rather than a criminal justice approach.
Their website is full of matter-of-fact information on the effects of drugs, drugs and the law, how to properly use these drugs and how to reduce the harm that may be caused by them. As well as this they have published their policy papers, responses and annual reports on the site.
Release also offers counselling services, help and advice and legal aid that operates in ten different drug treatment centres across London.
New guidelines on drug sentencing publishedWritten by Works for Freedom (24/01/12)
Around 55,000 adults were sentenced for drug-related offences in 2010. So today's new guidelines on drug offences from the Sentencing Council have the potential to affect many. On an initial review we have concluded that they are a bit of a mixed bag.
On the plus side, age or lack of maturity is included as a mitigating factor in sentencing. This could mean that some younger people face less punitive sentences. Drug possession (including possession of Class A drugs) might also attract a fine in some circumstances. Used sensibly, this might result in a modest reduction in the use of custody.
Those who are convicted of drug trafficking offences might also face more lenient sentences if they can demonstrate that they were forced into the act, or were unaware of what they were carrying.
On the other hand, the guidelines point to tougher sentences for those convicted of producing or cultivating drugs.
Overall the Council estimates the aggregate effect of the changes will be neutral.
In its official announcement today the Council claims that although 'primarily aimed at criminal justice professionals, the guideline is specifically designed to be accessible and clear to the public.'
Take a look at the guidelines and judge for yourselves.

Supporting the Supporters: Families of Drug MisusersWritten by Works for Freedom (26/05/11)
A study published by the UK Drug Policy Commission that estimates that at least 1.5m adults in the UK are caring for family members with drug problems and are as a result bearing a hidden financial burden of at least £1.8m. This care contribution is not fully recognised and often causes not just financial hardship but in loss of employment, breakdown of family relationships and psychological stress.
Drug Treatment Outcomes Research Study: Final outcomes reportWritten by Works for Freedom (26/05/11)
The first national reassessment for over 10 years shows mixed results for drug treatment services in England. A year after starting treatment drug use, convictions for criminal offences and health risk behaviour were observed to be reduced. However, quality of life gains were minor compared to treatment costs. The study argues that patients and services are far from achieving national reintegration objectives.

$10: A small price to pay for better roads
April 28, 2013
MANY BELMONT County roads and bridges are in need of repair. That is no revelation. Belmont County Engineer Fred Bennett realizes that more than anybody....
Since it's such a small fee the gas and oil drillers won't mind a truck tax. To fix the roads and bridges that they destroy. Oh, the coal trucks won't mind either. After all they are the ones making all the money so they should pay with a smile on their faces.

text: Being a musician for quite a while has bought to my attention that, while many can read and play music, others cannot draw the symbols used in music. Being a composer as well, I know how frustrating it is when you have to write out music by hand. But, even when you do, you want it to come out looking as beautiful as possible. As for drawing the treble clef, a clef for upper voices and many Bb instruments, it's a work of art. Some people are just naturally good at drawing them. But, if you're like me, you're not. So I hope this tutorial helps you learn to draw a nice and neat treble clef.

Damaging the lens? Hardly. A small dot of white paint or some tape is very far from damaging the lens. Nick is not suggesting taking a file or drill to your lens. A simple mark of some sort will work.
A clear plastic window won't be useful besides extra work and costs in case we want to turn the lens to another set up to reach full coverage of the scene on R1/R10.
So the best and easiest way would be to take a tape or a white mark.
Nikon 10.5 ring mount:
Sigma 8mm ring mount:
A hand drill and a file would give you the same effect. Although not as clean as milling, it would work.
I had discussions with Nick way back when I did this mod. He helped me understand how cost prohibitive this would be to put into production.

More importantly, each window is customized to a particular lens. That will greatly increase the number of lens rings. Beside some people may want to use different roll angles, eg 30/60 deg to put the sensor diagonal vertical, or 90 deg to use the camera in portrait mode on NN Ult M1. All these means huge number of options to make and thus increase our cost greatly.
Considering the ease and effectiveness of markings/ labeling on lens, I don't think it is worthy to do so. We only use 1-2 focus distances. So 1+2 points will suffice.
You know what, expert/ professional photographers use lots of labeling on their equipments. Doing so will only raise your image as a professional pano-photographer.
Of course, in a group of pano-photographers using our lens rings, Dennis will just reveal his professionalism. True Pros always have some custom made equipments and trade secrets that the average do not have or know.

We listen. We try harder.
What would be your "best guess" be at a price to do this piece by piece? I know that there are set up costs and other considerations (do you want to dedicate a manual mill just for the purpose of cutting out windows?) associated with anything custom. Would people be willing to pay $250 or more for an extra non refundable service fee just for the window cut out? Look at the price 360 gets for their "one off" stuff.

If the item goes through resellers, I am sure it will cause them lots of mess as well. Direct shipping to customers will increase the shipping cost and delivery time.
The large number of complaints of the custom pano head manufacturer is not without reasons, apart from personal characters. It is simply too exhaustive to manage small custom orders, esp when the production workflow goes through many contractors. The whole process may take more than a month!
You know what, many firms are not willing to take my small orders even if I pay much more. It is simply too exhaustive for their managers.
I'd rather spend my limited time and resources on new product development. New product development is an investment that may bring lots of returns. Custom order is just a production and transaction, as you said "one off" stuff. It won't bring us much future returns.
