This week's #MasterofCocktails is a bank holiday treat – Piña Coladas! Now, there are two reasonably important 'tricks' to this drink, well, one really...
The first trick is NO ICE. We're not using any in the preparation of this drink – instead we're using frozen pineapple. The second trick is to use an uber-ripe pineapple. All of the sweetness from this drink comes from the fruit. So, like I said – sort of one trick, but nevertheless.
We're also going to be weighing all the ingredients this time around, just for ease of reference.

I am looking for an example of a smooth surface $X$ with a fixed very ample $\mathcal O_X(1)$ such that $H^1(\mathcal O(k))=0$ for all $k$
(such thing is called an ACM surface, I think) and a
globally generated line bundle $L$ such that $L$ is torsion in $Pic(X)$ and $H^1(L) \neq 0$.
Does such surface exist? How can I construct one if it does exist? What if one ask for even nicer surface, such as arithmetically Gorenstein? If not, then I am willing to drop smooth or globally generated, but would like to keep the torsion condition.
More motivations(thanks Andrew): Such a line bundle would give a cyclic cover of $X$ which is not ACM, which would be of interest to me. I suppose one can think of this as a special counter example to a weaker (CM) version of purity of branch locus.
To the best of my knowledge this is not a homework question (: But I do not know much geometry, so may be some one can tell me where to find an answer. Thanks.
EDIT: Removed the global generation condition, by Dmitri's answer. I realized I did not really need it that much.

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Thanks for posting this. I've read/reviewed the one set approach and I think it's worth trying. Like any other approach (steps/pyramid, waves, etc.) - they probably all work, but not forever. I think there's a 2-3 month period where you will see gains and then the body adopts/adjusts to the routine, at which point you need to change.
It depends on what activity level you are at and what your goals are. Like a lot of programs you will see progress but eventually your body gets efficient at it so it's best to change up exercises every few months.
If your goal is...
Fat loss - you can't target fat loss. You can do a thousand crunches a day and still have flab on top of your incredible six-pack.
Sculpting/Toning muscle - you need to have muscle first in order to tone it. Any weight lifting regimen will build muscles for you. For target-specific exercises - I'd just caution against getting a muscle imbalance (i.e. making sure if you work biceps, you work triceps too, etc...). Having one muscle stronger than its opposing muscle will make you susceptible to injury.
Any exercise is better than none.

I know that it increases monster HP, and that experience and loot gained are separate from other party members, but do we have a higher chance of obtaining rare loot from having a larger party?
Party size does not affect loot drop quality. Your drops are individual and the same as if you were solo.1 Drops are different for each party member, increasing the probability of more relevant or interesting finds when discussed, shared, and traded between a four-person party.
As sean said, party size doesn't directly affect the loot - but there are indirect effects:
Edit: the things below are not correct anymore. Since 1.04 magic find is individual for each player.
Old answer
I'm not sure if that got changed again but as I've read it if a player with let's say 50% magic find joins the party, that magic find gets distributed over the players (So they player with MF actually ends up with lower MF than he has on his gear). So party size CAN directly effect chance of better loot if a player with mf joins your party.
Not a blizzard source but where they talk about that Solo vs Group Magic Find Runs
Here a Blizzard source Follower + Gold + Magic Find Equipment
According to the article posted and from what I have read the magic find % is added together and averaged over the group. Ex: player 1 has 150% MF, player 2 has 75% MF and player 3 has 40% MF, the three are added together for 265% and averaged for a total of 88.3% per player in a group. But according to the article the MF% is only added together if you are soloing and have a follower. So if you have 150% MF and your follower has 150% MF then it is totaled at 300% for you, if I read the article correctly.
As of patch 1.0.8. Party size affects loot positively. You get a buff called "Strength in Numbers". Feel free to party up and get extra loot.
You guys seem to miss the fact that the more people in a group the less Magic find each person has. For example, I'm in a group with 2 other people my MF will be divided by 3. Each person included in a group cuts the MF amount of all players down. Yes each and every person will have their own MF % and will of course get rare drops but the chance of anything substantial for later game play is decreased dramatically.

The FBI's UCR Program is a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort of nearly 18,000 city, university and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes brought to their attention. Since 1930, the FBI has administered the UCR Program and continued to assess and monitor the nature and type of crime in the Nation. The program's primary objective is to generate reliable information for use in law enforcement administration, operation, and management; however, its data have over the years become one of the country's leading social indicators. Criminologists, sociologists, legislators, municipal planners, the media, and other students of criminal justice use the data for varied research and planning purposes. In 2009, law enforcement agencies active in the UCR Program represented more than 295 million United States inhabitants—96.3 percent of the total population. The coverage amounted to 97.1 percent of the population in Metropolitan Statistical Areas, 90.9 percent of the population in cities outside metropolitan areas, and 93.0 percent of the population in nonmetropolitan counties.
Providing vital links between local law enforcement and the FBI in the oversight of the UCR Program are the Criminal Justice Information Systems Committees of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the National Sheriffs' Association (NSA). The IACP, representing the thousands of police departments nationwide, and the NSA, serving sheriffs throughout the country, encourage agencies to participate fully in the program. Both committees serve in advisory capacities concerning the UCR Program's operation.
In 1988, a Data Providers' Advisory Policy Board was established to provide input for UCR matters. That Board operated until 1993 when it combined with the National Crime Information Center Advisory Policy Board to form a single Advisory Policy Board (APB) to address all issues regarding the FBI's criminal justice information services. The current APB ensures continuing emphasis on UCR-related issues. In addition, the Association of State Uniform Crime Reporting Programs (ASUCRP) focuses on UCR issues within individual state law enforcement associations and also promotes interest in the UCR Program. These organizations foster widespread and responsible use of uniform crime statistics and lend assistance to data contributors when needed.
Recognizing a need for national crime statistics, the IACP formed the Committee on Uniform Crime Records in the 1920s to develop a system of uniform crime statistics. After studying state criminal codes and making an evaluation of the recordkeeping practices in use, the Committee completed a plan for crime reporting that became the foundation of the UCR Program in 1929. The plan included standardized offense definitions for seven main offense classifications known as Part I crimes to gauge fluctuations in the overall volume and rate of crime. Developers also instituted the Hierarchy Rule as the main reporting procedure for what is now known as the Summary Reporting System of the UCR Program.
The seven Part I offense classifications included the violent crimes of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault and the property crimes of burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. By congressional mandate, arson was added as the eighth Part I offense category in 1979.
In January 1930, 400 cities representing 20 million inhabitants in 43 states began participating in the UCR Program. That same year, Congress enacted Title 28, Section 534, of the United States Code authorizing the Attorney General to gather crime information. The Attorney General, in turn, designated the FBI to serve as the national clearinghouse for the crime data collected. Every year since, data based on uniform classifications and procedures for reporting offenses and arrests have been obtained from the Nation's law enforcement agencies.
Although the data collected and disseminated by the UCR Program remained virtually unchanged throughout the years, in the 1980s, a broad utility had evolved for UCR. Recognizing the need for improved statistics, law enforcement called for a thorough evaluative study to modernize the UCR Program. The FBI concurred with the need for an updated program and lent its complete support, formulating a comprehensive three-phase redesign effort. The first two phases of this effort, guided by input from representatives of the FBI, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the IACP, and the NSA, culminated with the release of a comprehensive report.
The final report, the Blueprint for the Future of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program (Blueprint), was released in May 1985. It specifically outlined three areas of enhancement to help the UCR Program meet future informational needs. First, agencies would use an incident-based system to report offenses and arrests. Second, the national UCR Program would collect data on two levels (i.e., limited and full participation), and third, the national UCR Program would introduce a quality assurance program.
In January 1986, the FBI began phase III of the redesign effort guided by the general recommendations set forth in the Blueprint. Contractors developed new data guidelines and system specifications while the FBI studied various state systems to select an experimental site to implement the redesigned program. Upon selecting the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), which enlisted the cooperation of nine local law enforcement agencies, the FBI developed automated data capture specifications to adapt the SLED's state system to the national UCR Program's standards, and the BJS funded the revisions. The pilot demonstration ran from March 1–September 30, 1987, and resulted in further refinement of the guidelines and specifications.
March 1–3, 1988, the FBI held a National UCR Conference to present the new system to law enforcement and to obtain feedback on its acceptability. Attendees of the National UCR Conference passed three overall recommendations without dissent: first, that there be established a new, incident-based national crime reporting system; second, that the FBI manage this program; and third, that an APB composed of law enforcement executives be formed to assist in directing and implementing the new program. Furthermore, attendees recommended that the implementation of national incident-based reporting proceed at a pace commensurate with the resources and limitations of contributing law enforcement agencies.
From March 1988 through January 1989, the FBI proceeded in developing and assuming management of the UCR Program's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), and by April 1989, the national UCR Program received the first test submission of NIBRS data. Over the course of the next few years, the national UCR Program published information about the redesigned program in five documents:
As more agencies inquired about the NIBRS, the FBI, in May 2002, made the Handbook for Acquiring a Records Management System (RMS) that is Compatible with NIBRS available to agencies considering or developing automated incident-based records management systems. The handbook, developed under the sponsorship of the FBI and the BJS, provides instructions on planning for and conducting a system acquisition and offers guidelines on preparing the agency for conversion to the new system and to the NIBRS.
Originally designed with 52 data elements, the NIBRS captures up to 57 data elements via six types of data segments: administrative, offense, victim, property, offender, and arrestee. Although, in the late 1980s, the FBI committed to hold all changes to the NIBRS in abeyance until a substantial amount of contributors implemented the system, modifications have been necessary. The system's flexibility has allowed for the collection of four additional pieces to be captured within an incident: bias-motivated offenses (1990), the presence of gang activity (1997), data for law enforcement officers killed and assaulted (2003), and data on cargo theft (2005).
The FBI began accepting NIBRS data from a handful of agencies in January 1989. As more contributing law enforcement agencies become educated about the rich data available through incident-based reporting and as resources permit, more agencies are implementing the NIBRS. Based on 2009 data submissions, approximately 44 percent of reporting agencies are certified for NIBRS participation. These agencies include one individual agency each in Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, and the District of Columbia, as well as the state UCR Programs of the following 32 states: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Among those that submit NIBRS data, 13 states (Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia) submit all their data via the NIBRS. Five state UCR Programs and three agencies that report their crime statistics directly to the FBI are in various stages of testing the NIBRS. Six other programs are planning and developing the NIBRS, including four state agencies, Washington, D.C., and a U.S. territory.
In June 2004, the CJIS APB approved discontinuing the use of the Crime Index in the UCR Program and its publications and directed the FBI to publish a violent crime total and a property crime total. The Crime Index, first published in Crime in the United States in 1960, was the title used for a simple aggregation of the seven main offense classifications (Part I offenses) in the Summary Reporting System. The Modified Crime Index was the number of Crime Index offenses plus arson.
For several years, the CJIS Division studied the appropriateness and usefulness of these indices and brought the matter before many advisory groups including the UCR Subcommittee of the CJIS APB, the ASUCRP, and a meeting of leading criminologists and sociologists hosted by the BJS. In short, the Crime Index and the Modified Crime Index were not true indicators of the degrees of criminality because they were always driven upward by the offense with the highest number, typically larceny-theft. The sheer volume of those offenses overshadowed more serious but less frequently committed offenses, creating a bias against a jurisdiction with a high number of larceny-thefts but a low number of other serious crimes such as murder and forcible rape.
To meet a directive of the U.S. Government's Office of Management and Budget, the national UCR Program will expand race categories from four (White, Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Asian or Other Pacific Islander) to five (White, Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander). The ethnicity categories will change from "Hispanic" to "Hispanic or Latino Origin" and from "Non-Hispanic" to "Not of Hispanic or Latino Origin."
The FBI is in the process of implementing a redevelopmental project to streamline the program's database management and quality control activities, reduce the turnaround time for publications and special requests for information, and provide greater data accessibility for external users. Through this internal system modernization, the FBI will help improve data quality. Ultimately, these improvements will be visible to the law enforcement agencies that contribute data to the program in the form of better service and, potentially, in the allocation of resources from the Department of Justice, which distributes allocations based upon an agency's data. In addition, the new system will offer an external public, interactive Web portal that will allow users to independently create and run simple ad hoc reports with access to complete UCR datasets. The project is moving into the design phase, and is tentatively scheduled for deployment in January 2013.
For the last 20 years, the UCR Program has maintained its long-running time series of data via the submissions of both the Summary Reporting System and NIBRS contributors. Though the FBI continues to convert NIBRS data to provide equivalent Summary statistics for the annual publication Crime in the United States, the FBI has published a number of monographs to demonstrate the utility of NIBRS data. It has also made available NIBRS Master Files for those interested in studying them.
Technology has expanded our information resources. Since 1995, the FBI has published its three annual UCR series, Crime in the United States, Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, and Hate Crime Statistics, to the Internet to reduce its reliance on printed copy. In 2006, the FBI discontinued the printed versions of these publications altogether to focus its efforts on retooling the electronic versions to be more useful. Future plans include providing database-driven presentations of Summary and NIBRS data, static presentations using only NIBRS data, as well as the publication of more special studies using NIBRS data.
Many of the documents referred to in this summary are available at www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm.

Popfrenzy Records is proud to present the local release of Asobi Seksu's second album, Citrus: thirteen slices of guitar-swirling, sweet-and-sour, bilingual dream pop. Frontwoman Yuki's voice is more assured than ever, swinging from a girlish falsetto to plaintive laments and switching effortlessly between Japanese and English lyrics, all the while anchored by the lush, turbulent guitar of James Hanna. This is the sound of a band coming into its own, and having fun doing it.
Asobi Seksu (colloquial Japanese for "playful sex") released its debut album in 2004 to significant critical acclaim, winning rave reviews from the New York Times, Nylon, Under the Radar, YRB, and XLR8R, among others; garnering a top ten spot on CMJ's radio charts; and becoming an instant favorite in the NYC scene, playing packed shows at the Bowery, Knitting Factory, and Mercury Lounge.
Asobi Seksu have always been masters at creating musical textures; gauzy, cloudy dreamscapes for their slower songs and squalls of guitar and daisy-chained effect pedals for their barnstormers. What truly distinguishes Citrus, though, is that the band has now married this ability to a finely honed pop sensibility. The songs here aren't just "pretty," they're melodically rich and incredibly catchy. As their captivating live show attests, Asobi Seksu have outgrown the comparisons to My Bloody Valentine and Lush, and have finally realized their potential as one of New York's greatest bands. True to its name, Citrus is every bit as sweet and delicious as it sounds.

I am a 15 year old girl and 5'5 in height.
You're 15, you still have several years of development left. There's no magical panacea that will suddenly give you a few inches of height, platform shoes or heels not withstanding.
Height is determined by genetics, primarily. However, maintaining a healthy diet, low in processed foods, and keeping yourself fit and active will allow your body to grow to it's fullest potential.
My sister used to be short. She played basketball, volleyball and did a lot of cycling atleast twice a week. She is 5 inches taller than me and it's only been a year.
But, she is 19 now. I think you still have enough time to grow. Just stay active outdoors
Good Luck.

Rewriting the Book
Faces of the Library of Birmingham take tour of construction site
A group of Library of Birmingham Faces have had the opportunity to take a tour of the building under construction. Picture and more information about the tour.
Search for twenty six ambassadors of the new library is now complete
Birmingham City Council has announced the final nine Faces of the Library of Birmingham. The latest faces to be confirmed include a teenage radio presenter, a Bhangra expert, the founder of a local film festival and The Hustle actor Adrian Lester, who began his career on the stage at The REP. All twenty six Faces of the Library of Birmingham were selected for their genuine passions for Birmingham and their excitement about the Library of Birmingham.
Ian Ward, deputy leader of Birmingham City Council said: In the Faces of the Library of Birmingham we have a bunch of fantastic ambassadors for the library and for the city. They reflect the incredible range of roles that libraries can play in the lives of people from different walks and in different stages of life.
The 'Rewriting the Book Campaign' was launched in May 2010 with the aim of finding 26 people, one for every letter of the alphabet, to represent the many values of the Library of Birmingham and help bring the new building to life for others. As real people with real passions, the Faces embody the variety and wealth of the services, facilities and possibilities that the Library of Birmingham will provide to the city's residents and the wider world when it opens in 2013. From now until the Library's opening, and beyond, the Faces will act as ambassadors within their own communities and networks to help spread the word about the library to Birmingham and the wider world.
The new Faces are:
David Ault from Walsall
David is an astrophysicist, passionate storyteller and actor. He runs The Big Bang West and East Midlands, and travels to theatres and primary schools to give storytelling workshops. He's thrilled that the new library will help increase the profile of Birmingham's science and engineering heritage and allow access to the cities internationally significant archives.See video of David Ault
Shaun Baxter from Handsworth
Shaun is a radio presenter for three different shows around the city. He has a genuine passion for libraries as a social space where people, especially teenagers, can meet to work together and thinks that the new building will help bring a real buzz to the city.See video of Shaun Baxter
Dr John Blewitt from Malvern
John is a Senior Lecturer at Aston University and has been closely involved with the Library of Birmingham since 2009. He is an expert on public libraries and their relation to social and environmental sustainability. John thinks the new library will be a magnificent space open to everyone and dedicated to learning, culture, the arts and commerce and will redefine what a library is and can be.
Gursh Chana from Great Barr
Gursh Chana is passionate about Birmingham's music and arts heritage. Gursh worked with Birmingham library to research and present his exhibition "From Soho Road to the Punjab", which showcased previously unseen photographs and club flyers, rare albums, authentic instruments, awards and costumes. After opening at Birmingham Central Library in 2005, the exhibition went on tour around the country and also New York in 2011. A record of the exhibition is now housed in the library's archives along with the world's first book on Bhangra culture which Gursh contributed to. Gursh is excited about the new exhibitions spaces in the new library and the link with the REP that will bring all sorts of performing arts together with the collections of the library.See video of Gursh Chana
Ian Francis from Balsall Heath
Ian runs Birmingham's Flatpack Festival which is held in venues across the city every March. Ian also has a fascination with the overlaps between film and photography - particularly before and during the birth of cinema, through devices like the magic lantern, the zoetrope, the mutoscope and flip-book (which was patented in Birmingham). He has used the library for local studies work as he has put together walking tours about Birmingham's hidden history.See video of Ian Francis
Seyi Kolade from Harborne
Seyi has been a passionate advocate of libraries for many years. The resources and facilities at her local branch have helped her to overcome past difficulties and build her confidence and skill as a writer. She is excited about the performance areas in the Library of Birmingham as she feels through the connections to music and technology they will make the library more attractive to young people.
Jo Ind from Kings Heath
Jo started researching her ancestors when the Birmingham Post, for whom she worked, launched a family history column. Her research at Central Library uncovered a wealth of fascinating facts about her family, including a relation to the famous prison reformer Elizabeth Fry. Jo thinks the Library of Birmingham is nothing less than what the people of Birmingham deserve: "Our library's put her bling on and she's moved on down to Broad Street", she says.
Adrian Lester from Birmingham
Adrian was born and raised in Birmingham and first acted with Birmingham Youth Theatre, which included appearances at the Rep. Well known on our television screens from his appearances in Hustle and Merlin, his extensive theatre experience has included major roles in Sweeny Todd,Company, As You Like It, Six Degrees of Separation, Kiss of the Spider Woman, A Winter's Tale, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. He'll be playing Othello at the National Theatre in 2013.
Matthew Tye from Handsworth
Matthew is passionate about history and has used the library for research all his life, particularly into the First and Second World War Commonwealth archives and the Veterans of Handsworth and Stechford project. He is excited that new technology will open up the city's treasures such as the collections of local community heritage histories to a wider audience, allowing people from all around the world to explore the collections and conduct their own research.See video of Matthew Tye
The 'Faces' of the Library of Birmingham will feature on promotional material for the new library, including the website. Their individual stories will be used to highlight the many diverse services to be provided by the Library of Birmingham, and, as honorary 'ambassadors' they will be involved in promotional activity and spreading the word about the library to their local communities.
More Faces of the Library of Birmingham . . .
Six more 'Faces' of the Library of Birmingham have been selected from dozens of applicants who applied when the 'Rewriting the Book' campaign was launched in May 2010 with the aim of finding 26 people over the next three years whose inspirational stories reflect the diverse ways in which libraries can change lives. They include a salsa-dancing linguist, a new media entrepreneur and a veteran of community work, and will join 11 previously announced Faces as honorary representatives of the Library of Birmingham.
Thomas O'Flaherty from Hockley
Dance instructor and language student Thomas O'Flaherty has lived in Birmingham for most of his life. As well as teaching Salsa, Latin Jazz and Zumba classes all over the city, Thomas is a skilled linguist who speaks Spanish and French and is found most days studying Mandarin and Russian at Central Library. He hopes that the new performance spaces at the Library of Birmingham, including the amphitheatre in Centenary Square, will open up the library to Brummies with a wide range of interests.
Steven Woodhouse and Trevor Boddington from Birmingham
Steven Woodhouse and his carer Trevor Boddington met in their late twenties and soon realised they shared a love of creating things. They use Central Library to research their ideas for their art projects, transforming household junk, such as bottle caps and tin cans, into replicas of their favourite childhood toys. The Library of Birmingham will mean improved access for them and many others, making the collections, resources and services of the library accessible to all.
Watch Steven and Trevor on YouTube
Eunice McGhie-Belgrave from Stetchford
Having arrived in Birmingham from Jamaica in 1957, Eunice McGhie-Belgrave has worked tirelessly in her local community ever since. She has run a diverse range of community projects including 'Shades of Black' which was set up after the 1989 Handsworth riots to help build pride amongst young people in their communities. Several of these projects are now housed within the archives at Central Library, and she hopes that the new exhibition spaces will inspire more Brummies to celebrate their city.
Gary Baker from Sutton Coldfield
Dublin-born entrepreneur Gary Baker runs an internet marketing company from his home in Sutton Coldfield. Gary retrained after a period of unemployment, using Central Library's Business Resource Centre to find the services and information he needed. Gary believes that the improved business facilities that will be available at the Library of Birmingham will be a huge help to start-up companies like his own.
Ian Myatt from Sutton Coldfield
As Head of Knowledge & Learning for BBC Online, Ian Myatt manages a range of websites, including BBC Food and BBC Bitesize. His love of all things digital was fostered in Birmingham libraries, where he first had access to computers and the internet. He's excited that the Library of Birmingham will lead the way in using technology to allow people from all around the world to access its collections, as well as providing a vibrant, open place for the people of Birmingham to learn, explore and socialise.
Though he works all around the country, he spends a lot of time in Birmingham. He manages The New Streetly Orchestra, plays in a band that rehearses in Selly Oak, is a Trustee of Performance Birmingham Ltd and the chair of the Sutton Coldfield Arts Forum.
Saadiah Harun Kilburn from Birmingham
Saadiah Harun Kilburn, 50, has lived in Birmingham for five years. She grew up in Malaysia and has also lived in Japan, where she completed her first degree in 1996. She now teaches Japanese at both a college and a language centre in Birmingham. It was while researching her dissertation at Central Library that Saadiah met her husband and she is passionate about the way libraries can promote understanding between cultures through shared languages.
The 'Rewriting the Book Campaign' has found 26 people, one for every letter of the alphabet, to represent the many values of the Library of Birmingham and help bring the new building to life for others. As real people with real passions, the Faces embody the variety and wealth of the services, facilities and possibilities that the Library of Birmingham will provide to the city's residents and the wider world when it opens in 2013.
The 'Faces' of the Library of Birmingham will feature on promotional material for the new library, including the website. Their individual stories will be used to highlight the many diverse services to be provided by the Library of Birmingham, and, as honorary 'ambassadors' they will be involved in promotional activity and spreading the word about the library to their local communities.
Faces of the Library of Birmingham already chosen
Carol Pemberton
After developing a love of reading as a child, Carol diversified her usage of the library to indulge in her passion for music, and often used the music library to listen to rare LPs of key singers she was influenced by.
23 years ago, Carol founded Black Voices, a vocal harmony group which draws on the oral tradition of Africa, exploring themes of black history.
This has frequently led Carol into Birmingham Libraries' Archive and Heritage department, with the comprehensive collections related to black history, including local information to help chart her parents' generation, helping Carol to shape and inspire Black Voices' programmes.
Iain McColl
Originally from Scotland, Iain McColl, was homeless and living in a hostel when he saw a poster advertising a Business Action on Homelessness scheme linked to the Library of Birmingham through construction partners Carillion.
After applying for a two week unpaid induction course, he was offered a permanent position on the Library of Birmingham construction site and has now secured a job as Assistant Engineer for sub-contractor Morrisroe, is studying for NVQs, and significantly, now has a home of his own. A keen reader of philosophy and poetry, Iain is looking to publish his own collection of poems, and is using the library's Business Insight department to get help in doing so. Who knows, maybe Iain's books could one day adorn the shelves of the Library he helped to build!
Andrew Keen
Andrew has used the libraries throughout life to read for pleasure, as well as to study various subjects, obtaining two degrees and becoming a master of Karate along the way.
Now 60, Andrew has been with wife Linda since the age of 16 following their first date at the original Birmingham Repertory theatre in Station Street.
However, having spent all of his money on taxis, meals and tickets, Andrew was unable to afford a programme from the production of Hans, the Witch and the Gobbin. Years later, Andrew and Linda were able to obtain an archive copy of the treasured brochure courtesy of Birmingham libraries. With the Library of Birmingham and the REP set to be physically connected in 2013, Andrew is excited to see how his joint passion for libraries and theatre will work together.
Ellise Miles
A passionate reader, Ellise is a member of five libraries, and is keen to visit the local library wherever she goes. Ellise visits a library at least twice a week and, at the age of 11, is starting to explore beyond the realms of children's literature with classic literature such as Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre.
Ellise, who travels from Cheltenham to visit Birmingham Central Library, will be a teenager when the Library opens its doors in 2013, and therefore is particularly excited about the new areas in the library for Young People which will provide an ideal location for teenagers to study, meet and socialise.
Andre and Imarni Hesson
A passionate advocate of everything artistic, Andre Hesson is involved in various creative forms from performance poetry and spoken word expression through his own 'Artistic Souls' open mic night, to painting, photography and even performing in productions by the Birmingham Opera Company.
A keen advocate of the ability of libraries to enhance lives, Andre regularly brings one-year-old daughter Imarni to the library in order to encourage learning and literacy from an early age.
Jayn Winslade
A dancer by profession, Jayn's keen interest in history manifested itself when she visited the village of Abbots Bromley and discovered the Abbots Bromley horn dance, a yearly ritual in which residents take to the streets to perform dances whilst brandishing antlers kept in the village church.
After researching its origins in Birmingham Libraries' Archives & Heritage department, Jayn published her first book 'Emily & Jen Dance for Deeron'. Jayn now uses the book as a basis for children's workshops which combine her passions for literature, dance and history.
The 'Faces' of the Library of Birmingham feature on all promotional material for the project, and their own individual stories are used to highlight the many diverse services to be provided by the Library of Birmingham, and, as honorary 'ambassadors' they will be involved in promotional activity and events including community engagement and launches.

It might be cool if the TokenMaker has methods like isWhitespace(int type) and isSeparator(int type) to allow a little more flexibility.
Might be a good idea. For now, the latest update no longer requires Token.WHITESPACE to paint tab lines; it'll do so with any token type, so you now get them within multi-line comments, Token.IDENTIFIER (if you were to match all "plain text" and whitespace together for performance, for example), or whatever else you throw at it. If the token type isn't Token.WHITESPACE, it'll paint tab lines in the right places for all leading whitespace in the first token of a line, if any. If it IS Token.WHITESPACE though, it'll assume the token really is all spaces and tabs, and skip the scan for leading whitespace for performance reasons (all the built-in scanners use Token.WHITESPACE the "expected" way).
This does mean that, if you use your own token types and not RSTA's, if you have a type with the same value as Token.WHITESPACE, you might get tab lines painted where you wouldn't expect them to be (inside text, etc.). But this is somewhat unlikely, and the workaround would be to simply change that particular token type to a different value, so it would be an easy fix.
I can reproduce your rendering issue in your app, but not in mine with the latest changes (and using the same font as you). Can you update and see if that fixes things (not sure why it would as the actual rendering code hasn't changed, but just to make sure)? If it's still happening, I'll really buckle down and figure it out.
There also might be third round of updates, redoing how these lines are painted, since the current implementation doesn't paint them at all on lines with no tokens on them, which is different, and (albeit slightly) annoying compared to what Scite does.

Let $K$ be a real number field, together with a fixed immersion in $\mathbb{R}$, and for each positive real number $M$ consider the set $S_M(K)$ of elements in $K \cap [0,1]$ having Mahler measure smaller than $M$.
When $K = \mathbb{Q}$, the $S_M(K)$ are a Farey sequence, and for $M \rightarrow \infty$ they have been proved to become equidistribuited by Neville ("The Structure of Farey Series", Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, 1949), with a geometrical method with does not seem to generalize easily. On the other hand, when $K$ is a real quadratic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ come computational experiment seems to show that the $S_M(K)$ are still uniformly distributed in the unit interval.
Is any there anything known about this problem, or possibly about connected issues, other than Neville's result? Thanks!

I hope you were easily able to understand my situation through the question.
1.Do we have any theme or plugin for on-spot editing the post by people or by me after the blog post is posted?
2.If there isn't any theme or pluggin for such feature should I make plugin or theme independently for my website.
3.If both of the above fails,please give me a better option for some other kind of CMS as there are no many cms and I want to make my website with dynamic features. Please follow the link below and kindly suggest me one.

Since July 1, 2012 Charlotte Water has offered a program to incentivize smart water use in the landscape, called the Smart Irrigation Program.
Customers who take the steps to equip their irrigation systems with approved state of the art equipment called smart controllers designed to reduce water demand and curtail water runoff will receive a special irrigation water use rate. In addition, participants will be required to have a separate meter for the irrigation system as well as a fully functioning backflow device. The new program is estimated to help customers reduce their summer time watering demand by 20 +% and to produce healthier landscapes. What is a Smart Controller?A smart controller is a device that initiates the activation of the irrigation system in response to site specific data – such as plant material, soil conditions, slope, sun exposure, wind coefficient, and evapotranspiration rate – all programmed into the device by the installer. In addition the controller maintains a live link to a weather satellite to factor in current weather conditions and recent rain events.An additional benefit is the ability of the controller to control the application of the water not to exceed the absorption rate of the soil, thereby curtailing excessive runoff to receiving storm drains and waterways.
Charlotte Water no longer maintains a list of approved Smart Controllers (Weather-Based Irrigation Controllers). Consistent with our position of supporting EPA "Water Sense" Labeling for weather based irrigation controllers, we will only be accepting EPA Water Sense approved controller for meeting requirements of the Smart Irrigation Rate Incentive Program after July 1st.2013.
Previously installed and properly functioning controllers meeting the temporary approved list that was published prior to July 1st.2013 can remain in service. Any replacement of smart controllers after July 1st 2013 will have to meet the current requirement of being EPA Water Sense.
A list of approved controllers that will meet the City's Smart Irrigation Rate Incentive Program requirements is available on the EPA's Water Sense website.
What are the incentives to participate?
Mandatory Water Restrictions Do Not Apply: During times of drought, if irrigation restrictions are mandated, all Smart Irrigation customers are exempt from the mandates during stages two and three.
Irrigation Meter Purchase: For customers installing a separate irrigation meter, the connection fees associated with the meter installation can be spread over 12 monthly installments and would be included on the monthly water bill. There are two options for connections – a single split service line and a dedicated service line.Capacity fees for split service residential irrigation meters have been eliminated as an incentive to participate.
Smart Irrigation Rate: Customers enrolled in the smart irrigation program would have all irrigation use capped at tier three. Currently, irrigation meters are charged at tier 3 and tier 4.More information?Not all properties are ideally suited for this program. Customers' irrigation systems should be checked out by a licensed irrigation contractor to determine if it's a suitable candidate and in proper working condition.Charlotte Water encourages all interested persons to evaluate the cost of up-fitting their irrigation systems and weighing the potential savings before moving forward.Additional Resources:

Every family has a Thanksgiving tradition. Some do potluck, some oven roast their bird, and some just dunk them in a vat of boiling oil. Unfortunately, that latter tradition also forebears another time-honored holiday repast—structural fires. Here are some of the most destructively-impressive turkey tragedies of Thanksgivings past.
This is what happens when you stuff a 14-pound turkey with ice cubes, then drop it five feet into a vat of 450 degree oil (and finally remember to twist the camera right-side up).
Remember to always use baking soda to put out a grease fire. Water just spreads it around the cabana.
Should the oil be on fire to start? That doesn't seem right.
You had me at "EXPLODING TURKEY FIREBALL!" but it's always smart to use a pole—unless, of course, you aren't particularly attached to that hand.
The Naval Air Station, Whidbey Island Fire Department proves that you can, in fact, be too prepared when attempting to put a dead bird in a hot pot.
The Gwinnett County Fire Department would like to remind you to fully thaw that turkey before submersing it so they won't have to pull you from the blazing inferno that you just started.
That's it, lean waaaaaay over that pot of flaming oil, see if it's ready yet. Because, really, who needs facial hair? At 1:56 mark to watch him remember his safety gear—better late than never!
Putting your turkey fryer on anything with wheels should be avoided almost as stringently as putting it within two feet of your garage.


text: This thread is for any analyses that have already passed QC or are on site. I've noticed in the other tiers that people have been commenting on threads that have already reached the DONE stage asking the OP to add a set or questioning the ones that are already there. This thread is to remedy this problem by allowing people to voice their concerns here, and then the QC team can look into the suggestion. So, in other words, Do NOT post in a thread that is already past the QC stage asking for a set to be added or for a different EV spread to be the main one. Voice that concern here. Failure to do so may result in an infraction and a deletion of the post made. However, you are free to make suggestions about the slashing and the ordering of the sets in thread, and of course anything concerning the write-up including adding a counter, teammates, or including something in OO. It should also be noted that making piddly "This analysis is awesome" posts should be avoided as they only necro old threads and clutter the sub-forum (however if the write-up is truly exceptional I obviously don't care if you congratulate and praise the writer, just avoid necroing long-dead threads). Also, this thread will be for discussing analyses of Pokemon once they are on site.

Summer produce a good bet for spending less heading into autumn
Spent too much money on summer vacation or need to cut back to buy school supplies?
Everyone could use a little extra pocket change regardless of the reason. Here's how to get it without sacrificing quality of life.
Summer produce remains in season with fresh fruits and vegetables as a great way to save money on food, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Fruits such as berries, kiwifruit and apricots are in season, while veggies such as beets, eggplant and zucchini provide plenty of low-cost nutrition to make meals a little better and the grocery bill a little lighter.
Here are some links to recipes that might help build the taste of summer options:
Fresh Fruit Salad with Honey Vanilla Yogurt
Parmesan Eggplant Fries with Basil Ketchup
Starting to look ahead to the fall? Start planning meals for apples and pears for fruits. Search for recipes for pumpkin, sweet potatoes and winter squash.
