Why people have to find quadratic formula,isn't that the formula cannot solve a polynomial with 2 and 1/2 degree? and just curious, how many roots does a polynomial with 2 and 1/2 degree have and how to solve them all(by formula)?
Why people have to find quadratic formula,isn't that the formula cannot solve a polynomial with 2 and 1/2 degree?
A polynomial $P(x)$ in one indeterminate with coefficients in a ring $A$ is an expression of the form $$a_nx^n+a_1x^{n-1}+ \cdots + a_0$$ where $n$ is an integer $\ge 0$ and the coefficients $a_0$, $a_1$, $\dots$, $a_n$ are elements of the ring $A$.
Familiar examples are polynomials with integer coefficients (the ring $A$ is then the ring $\mathbb{Z}$ of integers), polynomials with rational coefficients (the ring $A$ is then the ring $\mathbb{Q}$ of rational numbers), and polynomials with real coefficients.
There are much more "exotic" examples, of great theoretical and practical importance. For example, polynomials with coefficients in the set $\{0,1\}$, with addition and multiplication defined modulo $2$, are important in coding theory. The arithmetic here is very simple, $0+0=0\;$, $0+1=1+0=1\;$, $1+1=0\;$, $0\cdot 0=0\;$, $0\cdot 1=1\cdot 0=0\;$, $1\cdot 1=1$.
In addition to polynomials with one indeterminate, we can also consider polynomials in two indeterminates, such as $3x^2y^3-7xy+17$, three indeterminates, and so on.
The expression $$6x^{5/2} -4x^{3/2} -x+17$$ is therefore technically not a polynomial. However, in this example, let $y=x^{1/2}$. Then we can rewrite the above expression as $$6y^5 -4y^3-y^2 +17$$ which is definitely a polynomial in $y$. We ordinarily say that $6x^{5/2} -4x^{3/2} -x+17$ is not a polynomial "in" $x$, but is a polynomial in $x^{1/2}$.
Not that this helps if we want to find roots, since solving even polynomial equations "by formula" is hopeless by degree $5$.
The Quadratic Formula can be adapted to solve some equations that strictly speaking are not polynomial equations. For example, look at the equation $$x-x^{1/2}-1=0.$$
Make the substitution $y=x^{1/2}$. We obtain the equation $$y^2-y-1=0$$ which has the solutions $$y=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{5}}{2}.$$
So now we know the possible values of $x^{1/2}$, and we can square them to get the possible values of $x$.
But please remember that when the plain word "polynomial" is used, the exponents (powers) used are non-negative integers.
About your question on the number of solutions of a polynomial equation of "degree" $5/2$, the first thing I would say is that it is not a polynomial equation. In certain cases, you would be able to make a substitution, like our earlier $y=x^{1/2}$, and turn the equation into a polynomial equation in $y$. But depending on the values of other exponents, the number of solutions could be large.
And if you look for example at the equation $x^{5/2}-x^{\pi/2}+1=0$, no substitution will turn this into a polynomial equation.
I hope this was not overly elaborate and technical!
As Ross points out in his comment polynomials are defined to have exponents that are positive integers. If you find the roots of a polynomial $p(x)$ using this definition than, in certain cases, one can find the roots by algebraic means. A polynomial of degree $n$ has $n + 1$ different coefficients, the constant term together with the coefficient of each power of $x$. For each degree of the polynomial there is a limited amount of variability. If one allows fractional exponents this is no longer the case. Consider the following list of "fractional degree polynomials."
All of these might be considered a "polynomial" of degree $\frac{5}{2}$. There is no finite limit to the number of terms such a "polynomial" could have. This means there is no finite limit to the number of coefficients such a "polynomial" has. It seems to me that it is unlikely there is a single algebraic formula that could find the roots of all of these "polynomials." The Rolling Stones have a song about this: You can't always get what you want.

I basically want to know if anyone has any concrete knowledge of Jesus being in the tomb any time beyond the end of the Sabbath day. I am not looking for any assumptions. Assumptions as in the case of assuming: 1. there were one Sabbath between the burial and resurrection, and making an argument based on that point. 2. One visit by all women at once. 3. That the resurrection took place when the tomb were found empty. 4. The day of crucifixion as day one, etc. And if any contend for a translation for 'OPSE' in Matthew 28:1 as a preposition "after", should give a solid reason. Another is Luke 24:21, this verse eliminates a Friday crucifixion and has it either on Thursday or Wednesday, because 'the third day' is the third day since the crucifixion.

The confusing passage here seems to be Matthew's account, which we will come to in due course. The other accounts, including the apocryphal Gospel of Peter give rather clear indications of timing, so we begin by examining them:
Mark gives us two chronological markers, which I have emphasized above. The first is "when the Sabbath was over", but then he introduces it again with, "Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise." While the timing of the resurrection itself is not noted, the implication from Mark's text seems to be that Jesus rose at dawn.
Luke's account likewise places the arrival of the women at the tomb shortly after dawn on the first day of the week. He, likewise, continues the tradition of noting that it was the first day of the week.
Again, it is the first day of the week, and John's account likewise indicates that it is morning; the phrase "while it was still dark" indicates that if it is not dawn already, dawn is close and darkness is about to pass. This is easily reconciled with Mark and Luke simply by noting the theme of light and dark in John's gospel. Likely he emphasizes the darkness to illustrate Mary of Magdalene's transition from "blindness" to "sight" (so Carson).
We can consider as well the relevant passage in the apocryphal Gospel of Peter, which you have alluded to in your question. I believe it is a later gnostic work of the mid-to-late second century, and hence derivative of rather than formative to the four canonical gospels, but it still might afford some insight into how early Christians conceived of the resurrection for our purposes:
The temporal markers at the beginning are a bit confusing since it introduces a crowd but then seems possibly to back up into the night. Yet, it's clear that several watches have already happened, that people have been sleeping for some time and need to be awoken, and that the resurrection itself is seen as the dawning of a new day. Together what we have seen so far then indicates that the early Christians conceived of the resurrection happening at or near dawn on the first day of the week following Jesus' crucifixion.
So what about Matthew's account? Matthew 28:1 begins:
Most modern translations have something like:
Based on your question, though, it seems you consider the proper English translation to be something like: "Late on the Sabbath..." The grammar is not easy, but there are at least two possible solutions, which would allow Matthew's account to be harmonized with the other accounts. The first is followed by A. H. McNeile: that "Late on the Sabbath" is the correct translation, but that Matthew is using the Roman way of starting/ending days at dawn rather than at sunset. Given the distinctly Jewish character of the rest of Matthew's gospel, though, it is probably better to adopt the view of most modern commentators and BDAG (3), who take ὀψέ as a preposition ("after") rather than an adverb ("late"). The strength of the other traditions placing the resurrection at or near dawn recommends one of these two approaches.
All of this places the bounds on the resurrection as sometime after the Sabbath sundown and before the women arrive early on the first day of the week. While the strong implication of all of these texts is that Jesus rose shortly before the women arrived, further evidence for this can be deduced by the place of "dawn" and its association with resurrection in early Christian thought.
Jesus, "the resurrection and the life", was referred to as the "morning star" (Rev. 22:16). He is said to fulfill Isaiah, who writes that a light has dawned on those dwelling in darkness (Matt. 4:14-16), and he is called the "rising sun" come to us from heaven (Luke 1:78). In other words, Jesus himself was symbolically linked in early Christian thought to the dawning of a new day.
We know as well that the ideas of sleeping and waking were often used by early Christians (and Jesus Christ) of death and resurrection. For instance, in Matthew 9:24, Jesus refers to the dead girl as only sleeping because his plan is to wake her up (i.e. resurrect her). The same is found in John 11, where Jesus tells the disciples "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up" and when pressed on this he says, "Lazarus is dead" and we of course later see him resurrected. So too the analogy is seen clearly in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 where Paul writes, "For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him."
We see in 1 Thessalonians 4 as well the clear link between an eschatological new day and resurrection. So also in Romans 13 we read, "The night is nearly over; the day is almost here." The Romans are therefore to live in light of the resurrection as one living in daylight.
The summation of this points to a deep link in Christian thought between resurrection and the dawn of a new day, which in turn should lead us to believe that the authors of the gospels all intend their readers to grasp that Jesus' resurrection came at the dawn of a new day and a new week (both historically and symbolically).
An alternative view of the resurrection of Christ holds that Jesus rose from the dead late on, or at the close of, the Sabbath day. Although Matthew 28:1 is generally used as support for this minority opinion a comparison of related accounts should dispel any such notion.
Looking at Mt 28:1 (KJV):
The Greek word translated "In the end" is ὀψέ (opse Strongs 3796), which according to Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words has the following meaning:
As related, the word in Mt 28:1 generally means "late" but can connote "after" as the context demands. Admittedly it's English translation in the only other two occurrences in the NT (Mk 11:19; 13:35) that I'm aware of further supports the general meaning "evening." And Liddell-Scott-Jones notes likewise, although they concur with Vine regarding Mt 28:1. Even in the Greek Septuagint the word is used four times and is translated "late" (Gn 24:11; Ex 30:8; Is 5:11; Jer 2:23). In the Apostolic Bible Polyglot I'm referencing it's sole disparity is its translation of Jer 2:23 as "evening" otherwise in the other passages it's translated "late" as well.
Looking at the Greek word ἐπιφωσκούσῃ (epiphosko Strongs 2020) translated "as it began to dawn" Vine's explains its meaning thus:
This particular word, therefore, denotes "to grow light, to dawn." It's only other occurrence in the NT is Lk 23:54 wherein it's translated "drew on." And Liddell-Scott-Jones concurs. For comparison, however, an online Greek Interlinear translates it thus:
While Young's Literal Translation has it: "And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching." Even with Mt 28:1 the Greek Interlinear translates it:
While YLT translates it: "And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre." Again I confess it can appear confusing somewhat especially for a Biblical novice like me. But, I know I don't know it all and won't this side of heaven (1 Cor 8:2).
I don't, however, see any contradiction in the various resurrection accounts. Looking at Mt 28:1 and comparing it with the other gospel writers it seems evident that all are referring to the same event i.e. the women's arrival at Christ's tomb at the same time i.e. around sunrise Sunday morning:
If Mt 28:1-10 is suggesting that Mary Magdalene visited Christ's grave at the close of the Sabbath and witnessed Christ's resurrection take place at that very moment, then it contradicts the testimony of the other gospel writers who state:
And in response we must ask,
It makes no sense and is totally contradictory to the testimony of the other gospel writers (2 Cor 13:1).
That's why I'm personally in favor of the following suggested solution since there is no punctuation or chapter and verse divisions in the original Greek MSS, and it attempts to reconcile the difficult wording of Mt 28:1 by simply reorganizing Mt 27:66 and Mt 28:1 and thus compliments, rather than contradicts, the other gospel writers account of Christ's resurrection on the day of the wavesheaf (Lv 23:9-14). Notice the context starts with Mt 27:62 wherein the Jewish religious leaders meet with Pilate on the Sabbath day and request of him a "watch" or Roman guard to secure Christ's tomb:
Thus, according to this explanation Mt. 27:66 and 28:1 should be divided as follows:
The implication is that the Roman guards hired to secure Christ's tomb began their watch at the end of the Sabbath since the Jewish religious leaders anticipated Christ's body being stolen by His disciples sometime on the third day or Sunday.
Therefore, it's likely to me that Christ's resurrection took place in between Saturday sunset (after the watch was set on Saturday night) and Sunday sunrise (when the women visited Christ's tomb). It's possible that He simply walked invisibly away (cf. Lk. 24:31; 36; Jn. 20:19, 26). This further explains why the Roman guards were bribed by the Jewish religious leaders into saying, "His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept" (28:13) since throughout the night that they were stationed at Christ's tomb they witnessed nothing out of the ordinary until daybreak when the earthquake occured and the angel rolled away the stone revealing to them that Christ's body had supernaturally disappeared (Mt. 28:2-6).
Οψε is an adverb meaning – "Late", it has an implied verb. Therefore the line should read: "Yet, it was late on the Sabbath, at the lighting on unto…"
Referring to a rendering inspired by tradition (as in the case of Vine's "long after") that developed long after this writing is certainly not plausible. Is there any reason to render "Οψε" as a preposition, as in a position ("after") relative to the Sabbath day, and not part of the Sabbath day, as is the normal use of this adverb? The contemporary Mark obviously uses it as "it was late", why should Matthew be different?
The Greek word "επιΦωσκω" – "on-lighting" that are used for dawn in Greek, which is fitting since the day to them started when the sun is lighting up. But the word carries the meaning of a 'commencement' or 'revealing' of something new. As in the case of Luke, He uses it as the Sabbath "lighting up" from that evening, when the Preparation day was over. It can be used as "dawn of a new era". Even the so-called "Gospel of Peter" used the word for beginning of Night and the beginning of Day. It has the meaning of 'revealing'.
I asked the question whether there is any accounting for the night after the Sabbath, without the presupposition that the resurrection did take place on the first day of the week. Matthew explains something very different in his account, while the other three only presents the empty tomb the next day. The 'major earthquake' and the guards is hard to reconcile with the other three accounts, and I see the attempt to 'harmonize' Matthew with the others by changing the meaning of 'Οψε' and 'επιΦωσκω'. Matthew could have used the word 'μετα' to mean 'after', in the accusative form, but instead uses the adverb that means 'late'. The real meaning of the word 'Οψε' harmonizes with the Hebrew day that 'lights up' from evening.
As for the rendering '… and setting a watch in the end of the Sabbath. As it began to dawn…' has a problem because of the break in time (and/or thought) by the use of the conjunction 'δε', as in apart from what happened earlier.
"Yet, it was late on the Sabbath (at the lighting-on unto one of the Sabbaths), Maria the Magdalene and the other Maria came to behold the tomb. And behold! A great quaking erupted for the messenger of the LORD descending from heaven, came closer, rolled away the stone from the opening, and resided above it. His aspect was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: From fear of him the keepers did shake, and became, as if dead."
Matthew is also the only one to mention the resurrection of others. He seems to have a good reason for this. He connects the resurrection(s) with the earthquake(s) for the sake of his Hebrew readers. For this cause his account is different than the other three. The other three only record the empty tomb, and that the resurrection has already occurred, but doesn't say when it occurred. But according to Hebrew custom the first fruits of the harvest are reaped the evening of the weekly Sabbath during the days of Unleavened Bread. By conjunction the events of Matthew 28:1-4 happened around the same time. That would mean they were harvesting the first fruits at this time, when a major earthquake erupted. The Anointed One was the 'first fruits' according to Paul.
Are there therefore any valid source that say the adverb 'Οψε' should take on a virtually unprecedented prepositional form for one special case in Matthew 28:1, or I should say, for the sake of tradition?
On the first day of the week:
18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and has not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? 19 And he said unto them: What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Yahusha of Nazareth, which was a spokesman mighty in deed and word before the Mighty One and all the people: 20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have impaled him. 21 But we expected that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel; but surely with all these, it is leading [from] the third day from which these things occurred.
"…Τριτην ταυτην ημεραν αγει αφ ου ταυτα εγενετο"
This is an interesting combination of words. The "Τριτην ταυτην ημεραν" (this third day) is a separation from the events on the day of crucifixion. This is demonstrated by the use of "αφ ου" (from which [the events occurred]). Therefore the day after the day of crucifixion began the count up till the third day. This eliminates a Friday crucifixion, which seems to be the argument here. The issue otherwise, is on what day are "this third day". It is either referring to the present day (putting the resurrection on Thursday), or the day just past (putting the resurrection on Wednesday), but either way, Friday is eliminated. For this reason, can we honestly assume one Sabbath?
Cleopas refers to events that took place "these days" referring to past events. And goes on "with all these, it is leading…". The verb αγει is in present tense active mood, third person. 'It' is the present time they are moving in. And this verb is acting in relation to "this third day", and this in the thought of the speaker appears to separate the present moment from "this third day". Aramaic translators has also noticed the same when they translated:
"Moreover, three days have already passed since all those events occurred" – MLB/NBV
"…and, lo, three days (have passed) since all these things were done." – J.W. Ethridge
"And lo, three days [have passed], since all these things occurred." – James Murdoch
And others would say, "three days ago", etc. There seems to be in the Greek text a 'missing' but implied preposition that connects the verb αγει with the objective "this third day", which one can pick up when reading this verse. There is a relation between the subject of the verb (in time: the present ongoing moment) and the objective of the verb (this third day). This strongly implies that the Sabbath being day three. Whichever day is day three here, Friday as the crucifixion day should fall away, since there is a separation from the three days and the day of crucifixion.
Hello Simons Dies wednesday according to scripture and rises according to scripture on the sabbath-- Luke 24 is not so constrained as to not allow the guards posting on thursday- think of the trauma of that- they kill messiah and then you can not go a mourn without the ones who might have killed him telling you to stay back (Cleopas mentions this right?). Resurrection on Sabbath is not clear (Messiah just rose prior to women arriving- and they came after the 3 days the guards told them they would be there) in the Greek texts mentioned above but symbols and foreshadow are very clear. Rise on sabbath day of rest foreshadows our resurrection on a day that is the first of our eternal days of rest. Bread of the presence changed out on the sabbath - renewed on this day for a reason?. Lev 24. and of course as first fruits/ barley symbol fulfilled- messiah is not one second in delay to be first fruits prior to sun going down on sabbath. All points covered and simple with wed- sabbath- no constraining of the text- all witnesses agree.

tumor that develops from nerve tissue. The first symptom of MPNST is a lump or mass that increases in size, sometimes causing pain or a tingling sensation.[1] MPNST is considered an aggressive tumor because there is up to a 65% chance of the tumor regrowing after surgery (a recurrence),[1][2] and approximately 40% chance of spreading to distant parts of the body (a metastasis), most commonly to the lung.[3][4][5] Treatment of MPNST begins with surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible. Radiation therapy may be used to decrease the chance of a recurrence. Chemotherapy might be used if the whole tumor cannot be removed during surgery, or to treat a metastasis.[1] MPNSTs are quite rare, occurring in 0.001% of the general population.[6] Approximately 25-50% of MPNSTs are associated with a genetic condition known as neurofibromatosis type 1.[7]A malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Center for Demographic Research's 2013 Alabama Population Data Sheet to be released on July 11, World Population Day, shows a decline in the population of residents younger than 18.
Fifty-eight of the state's 67 counties registered a decline in the percent of the population under age 18 between 2010 and 2011. The top five counties with a drop in youth population were: Macon (from 20.6 to 19.5 percent), Sumter (from 22.3 to 21.3 percent), Autauga (from 26.8 to 26.0 percent), Hale (from 24.8 to 24.1 percent), and Marengo (from 24.7 to 24.0 percent).
Five county's youth population remained unchanged in 2010 and 2011: Henry (22.6 percent), Jefferson (23.5 percent), Lowndes (24.2 percent), Marshall (25.0 percent), and Winston (21.6 percent). Only three counties registered some increase in the percent of population below age 18 between 2010 and 2011: Coosa (from 20.5 to 21.0 percent), Montgomery (from 24.4 to 24.8 percent), and Perry (from 24.1 to 24.2 percent).
Researchers say the decreasing youth population is mostly the result of low fertility. Today, the total fertility rate – which measures the average number of children per woman – is down to 1.8. This figure is lower than the 2.1 children per woman registered in 2007 and the 2.0 observed in 2009.
"A total fertility rate of less than 2.1 children per woman is a sign of demographic winter, a situation that can lead to population decline," said Yanyi Djamba, director of the Center for Demographic Research. "Today, 53 of the 67 counties have total fertility rates below 2.1 children per woman."
Djamba said there are, however, some encouraging statistics. Marriage rates are high and divorce is low in the state.

Motiva will again have to shut down a crude distillation unit at its expanded refinery segment in Port Arthur, Texas, that had been restarted after about six months of repairs.
By BEN LEFEBVRE
Motiva Enterprises
again will have to shut down a crude distillation unit at its expanded
refinery segment in Port Arthur, Texas, that had been restarted
following six months of repairs, a person familiar with the
refinery operations said Tuesday.
Motiva originally commissioned the CDU - the first step in
the oil refining process - in May as the
culmination of a $10 billion refinery expansion project that added 325,000 bpd of
capacity and made the refinery the largest in the
The unit was shut down days after following a chemical leak
into the CDU that corroded much of its piping.
After six months of repair, Motiva began the restart process
of the CDU last week but shut it down after a small mechanical
fire started at the unit. Workers have now found evidence of
chemicals once again leaking into the unit, the person
Repairing the unit will keep it idle until Friday or Saturday,
the person added.
The Port Arthur refinery has a total capacity of 600,000 bpd,
making it one of the 10 largest in the world. Motiva, a
partnership of Saudi Arabian Oil Co. and Royal Dutch Shell, is
still able to operate the original refinery
Motiva will still produce fuels using other units at the
refinery, said company spokeswoman Kimberly Windon.
"While this unit is an important part of the Motiva Port
Arthur Refinery operations, we continue to operate other units
within the refinery, making gasoline and other
products to meet customer needs," Ms. Windon said.

How can I color a pattern in Inkscape without creating a custom pattern? I guess this should be possible. But I can't manage this :-(
I draw a square. --> I get a square filled with a color (green). Then I choose a standard pattern for the square. Green is gone and I have a black pattern. Now I would like to change the pattern's color. How can I do this?

Our startup has something like 100 usernames and passwords to keep track of, and we can't keep track of all of them. Would putting all of them in a Google spreadsheet shared amongst ourselves be a bad idea? It feels like a security problem, but I can't articulate why I think that.
Is putting every username and password for our organization in a giant Google spreadsheet a spectacularly bad idea?
migrated from programmers.stackexchange.com Dec 24 '11 at 23:03
This question came from our site for professional programmers interested in conceptual questions about software development.
Without wanting to pick on Google, you should read the article by James Fallows in the November Atlantic Monthly. In brief, Fallows's wife's GMail account was compromised by a scammer. The scammer used her mailing list and old emails to generate a "Help, I've been mugged in foreign city and need money!" scam. On top of that, the miscreant deleted all of her documents and old email before she regained control of the account.
Consider: your shared document is no more secure then the Google account of your most careless team member. While Google's security may be generally better than yours in theory, it's also a more prominent target, and can easily be undermined by carelessness on the part of a user.
You may incorporate the Google cloud into your infrastructure, but you can't just assume that Google is going to take on all the responsibility for your security. Nobody will care about your data as much as you do.
Use a secure password management system. They are easy to set up and fairly inexpensive.
Here's one I've had recommended to me by a colleague: http://www.thycotic.com/
And yes, putting all your passwords into a shared spreadsheet is a bad idea for at least 2 reasons:
Wait --you are thinking of sharing amongst yourselves the list of all your usernames and passwords? That's not just spectacularly, that's a monumentally bad idea regardless of whether you store it as a google spreadsheet or post-it notes!
And, of course, a google spreadsheet has the additional disadvantage of being publishable to the entire planet with a couple of clicks.
The rule about passwords should be: "Your password is very strictly personal. If we find out that someone other than you knows your password, you are both fired."
In a targeted attack, an unprotected list of users and passwords is one of the first things scanned for. Once you have that, you have the keys to the kingdom.
The next thing in line is to look for an organizational chart to find which user names would be most likely to have access to the data you wish to steal.
If this is for access to infrastructure like routers and servers, it's particularly useful if the admin accounts have access to any files you wish to read, unencumbered by user account permissions.
Keep this stuff under lock and key, even if it's something as simple as Roboform's encrypted notes. Don't ever even think of sending this file anywhere else into the outside world, you have no idea as to where it will get sent or who it will be shared with.
In your scenario as a shared Google spreadsheet, you have no idea who will share it out. Your security model needs to be rethunk as you really have no security when you're sharing passwords like this. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
I have a colleague who consulted for a company that was doing something this colossally dumb - same thing, with bank passwords.
You want something like http://enterprise.lastpass.com/ ! (I'm just a happy (non-enterprise) customer.)
With that, NONE of your staff need direct access to the passwords to use them. < sic >
It depends on your required level of security.
In that case the data should be in an excel spreadsheet on a USB key that is left on a train.
(in the US, where the left on a train loophole has been effecively blocked it should be left in a cab)

I recieved this file that I was told was a copy of a hard drive (or disk). The file is "sheeva-mem.dd.gz". I tried to unzip the file in a linux Fedora machine. This yielded "unexpected end of file". Someone told me to mount the file to a partition within the linux machine, and then I would be able to view the information within the file. I assume the file has to be unzipped before this can happen? If that is the case, is there anyway around the "unexpected end of file" (maybe a repair, or something that ignores the errors)? This is the only copy of the file.
You can use the
and attempt to mount the dd file:
Possibly, the filesystem will be corrupted. You can attempt to repair it with
gzip != zip. gzip is a stream compressor, zip is an index'd compressor. They are completely different programs. "zip" is based on "PKzip", and is represented by the tools "unzip" and "zip" and uses ".zip"; GNU zip is "gzip" and "gunzip", uses the extension ".gz".
You can gunzip file.dd.gz and get file.dd, but that'll suck up a lot of space unfortunately.
Once you have the file.dd, just do, probably as root,
mount -o loop file.dd /mnt
to access the contents on /mnt

Carmi Fire Chief Larry Hite spoke at length at Monday evening's regular Carmi City Council meeting and asked the council to consider purchasing at least two and perhaps three heat-sensing cameras to aid firefighters in their work.
Hite provided a demonstration of one of the cameras, showing the council how the device "sees" heat through smoke and other obstructions. He said it could tell firefighters where "hot spots" exist to make their work easier and to lessen damage to structures by perhaps often eliminating the need to tear out entire sections looking for the "hot spots" with the naked eye.
It could also spot trapped firefighters or victims in fires, as well as other types of victims, from drowning to those lost. He demonstrated how the device could "see" footprints left on the ground by someone simply walking in the area.
This, he said, could make the device useful for law enforcement. He went on to say the device could be utilized by all the city departments, from finding "hot" electrical wires and lines to finding "hot spots" in malfunctioning motors and engines.
The cost of one device is $6,048. Hite said at least two are needed so one can be inside a structure while another stays outside for over watch or back up if the first is lost. He said he wants a third one to keep in the chief's vehicle for deployment in situations where maybe the bigger fire vehicles do not respond (which is where the primary two would be stored).
The council took the presentation under advisement for more study. One alderman quipped it appeared there was a need to bring the department into the 21st century after Hite pointed to other area departments that have the devices.
In other council news, Carmi Police Chief Randy Hamblin said his department made 27 criminal arrests last month and overall activity remains steady. He also reported a squad car was recently damaged by a resisting suspect and has not been repaired.
The chief said a city garage worker made a temporary repair to keep the car on patrol duties, but he was waiting to see if the court would order restitution in the case to avoid the city having to pay for it or file an insurance claim.
Mayor David Port reported a deficit month on the city's finances, citing a total loss of about $150,000. He blamed an increase in payments to the city's hospitalization fund due to an increase in surgeries last month and another insurance premium being due.
"We're always going to have periodic deficits," the mayor said. "What's important is where we're at year's end and we were strongly solvent last year."

All of these selfies she's taking will one day come back and haunt her when she finally matures and maybe decides to have a family. Then all of a sudden when her children want to make bad choices (that will probably be worse than hers) they will throw this back in her face. Thinking, it's a thing you know,using the brain never goes out of style.

It's not her sexuality. It's men's sexuality reflected back to them, it's the sexuality of pornography and prostitution which is male-centred and fetishistic, it's commodified sexuality. We're not allowed to see authentic women's sexuality in the media in this sexist culture. That's why all these pop singers behave the same. They ape and mimic porn culture to succeed and advance their careers as women, because this culture doesn't care about their talent as women. It has nothing to do with their own sexuality. What a joke.

Maybe when most other women 'don't want to get warm cream on their tongue' they're also being open and honest about their sexuality. Give them a high five. It's interesting how a lot of men only support women and their sexual freedom when they get something out of it themselves. These men suddenly become instant feminists when it comes to a woman's 'right' to give him a boner.

Hollywood loves to portray nuns as stern, sexless, boxy women who spend most of their days slapping students in the hand with rulers. But that's about as much as they're allowed to misbehave.
With a few exceptions.
But history tells us that real nuns are quite a bit more awesome than that, and even the most pious sisters are not immune from the all-too-human desires for blood, petty vengeance and transgender exploration. Just check out the stories of...
#5. Carol Gilbert, Ardeth Platte and Jackie Hudson
So what does it take for a group of nuns to wind up on a Terrorist Watch List? Ask Sisters Carol Gilbert, Ardeth Platte and Jackie Hudson. They're peace activists who both wound up on the Maryland State Police's list of terrorists and were sentenced to a total of nine years in federal prison to boot.
It all happened after the nuns wanted to protest the war in Afghanistan but decided that standing on the roadside holding signs just wouldn't cut it. Instead, they broke into a Colorado military base that, oh by the way, housed nuclear missiles.
"What? We're pretty sure Jesus would've done it."
They made it to the silos themselves, pounded on them with a hammer (note: if you happen to encounter nuclear missiles in the future, DO NOT HIT THEM WITH HAMMERS) and painted crosses on the concrete using baby bottles filled with blood. Their own.
By the way, that was a Minuteman III missile in that silo, which is supposed to be 20 times more powerful than the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima.
So how did these three sisters infiltrate the top-secret compound? That's the most frightening part of the protest: The atomic harbinger of doom was protected by a fence locked with a single chain. All the sisters had to do was use some bolt cutters. It was like breaking into a dog park.
Given their apparent masochistic tendencies, it's not surprising that the sisters chose to suffer in prison over appealing their case. They even requested to go to prison immediately instead of waiting for the schedule date. They're back out now, so if they shanked anybody while they were on the inside, they apparently weren't caught. We still wouldn't fuck with them, though.
#4. The Nuns of Rutino, Italy
In 2008, a man named Aniello Esposito was in the middle of a dispute about his lease on convent-owned property. He was accused of illegally using the space to run a restaurant. Then, one night, Esposito heard that two of the nuns and a priest were trashing the place.
That's really not the kind of news you want to hear (though honestly it seems like the kind of thing you'd like to see at least once) so he ran over in hopes of having a nice, peaceful chat.
We're saying all Italians are gangsters.
That plan pretty much failed when the priest hit Esposito with a chair and the nuns started kicking him in the stomach. The other villagers saw what they later described as "the cast of Sister Act wailing on the guy from the pizza box."
They promptly called the police after they stood around and watched for at least 15 minutes and probably taped a good portion of it. Esposito was brought to the hospital with neck and abdominal contusions along with the most awesomely humiliating story of his life.
In a cruel move by the media, his was the only name released to the public.
#3. Odette de Pougy
It doesn't get any more wholesome than this: Odette de Pougy was an abbess; the Mother Superior of an abbey of nuns.
In1265, the Pope Urban IV decided to build a church on the site where his father's shoe shop used to be. De Pougy, unaware or not caring that the Pope was her boss, informed him that the property belonged to the abbey and that he could not build there.
Unarmed with the knowledge we have on nuns today, he went ahead with it anyway because he was the freaking Pope. Back then, if you opposed the Pope that was like jabbing God with a sharp stick.
Is it cool with everyone if we just throw in a picture of a hot nun once in a while?
De Pougy didn't give a shit. In true nun fashion (in the context of this article, anyway) she brought armed thugs to the construction site to drive away the Pope's crew. Urban waited two years and tried again, only to witness the return of her personal army. The Pope struck back by excommunicating her entire abbey for 14 years.
He eventually got his church built... but he waited until de Pougy had died to do it.

$\mathrm{GCF}(a,b)=4$ and $\mathrm{LCM}(a,b)=96$. Find all pairs of whole numbers $a$ and $b$ for which both statements are true.
I have no clue where to even start with this problem. Thank you for any help!
I have no clue where to even start with this problem. Thank you for any help!
Both $a$ and $b$ must contain 4 as a factor, since 4 is the greatest common factor. Thus, $a = 4i$ for some $i$ and $b = 4j$ for some $j$. And, since it's the greatest common factor, $i$ and $j$ contain no common factors.
Now, the least common multiple of $a$ and $b$ is 96, which means 96 contains all the factors of $a$ and all the factors of $b$. So, what does this tell us about $i$ and $j$? Can you take it from there?
I use $\gcd(a,b)$ for what you call "greatest common factor" (in my experience, it is more generally called the "greatest common divisor"; go figure).
For any positive integers $a$ and $b$, $\gcd(a,b)\mathrm{lcm}(a,b)=ab$. This is not hard to prove, and you may already know it.
If you do already know it, then you have that $ab = 4\times 96 = 384 = 2^7\times 3$. Now, you want to find values of $a$ and $b$ whose product is $2^7\times 3$, but where the largest common factor they have is exactly $2^2=4$. So $a$ will account for $2^2$; $b$ will account for $2^2$; that leaves you with $2^3\times 3$ still to distribute. Now, the $3$ can go into either $a$ or $b$ and that will not affect the gcd; but you have to be careful with the three remaining factors of $2$: they must all go into $a$ or into $b$ (can you see why?). That limits the possibilities rather strongly.

I think that your condition is wrong in "FOR". It must be
Code:for(var ctr=0;ctr<m.length;ctr++){
If we suppose that length of m is 4, so last element of m is m[3]. If you try m[4], you can recive some errors.

5 Reasons Star Wars Sequels Would Be Worse Than The Prequels
If you grew up with the original Star Wars trilogy, you probalby went through a 15-year roller coaster that was something like this:
You wished desperately they would make more movies;
You groaned when you heard they were making prequels instead;
You bought a ticket out of cautious optimism;
You realized you were right the first time.
If only they'd made sequels instead, dammit! But here's the thing: they did. The story was continued in novels and comics and video games. Oh, and they were so terrible they actually do more damage to the source material than Jar Jar Binks could have ever hoped to.
We mean it. These are the stories that are guilty of...
#5. Undoing the Ending of Return of the Jedi
As Seen In: The Thrawn Trilogy, X-Wing Series, Jedi Academy Trilogy and many more novels, comics and video games.
Everything had wrapped up nicely at the end of Return of the Jedi. We see the Imperial menace defeated over the forest moon of Endor by the likes of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca the Wookiee and Lando "The Last Black Man in the Galaxy" Calrissian.
He's a collector's item.
The Emperor's plan to recruit Luke to the dark side failed, and Darth Vader redeemed himself by dunking the raisin-faced bastard into the reactor core of the Death Star like Lebron James. Vader, electrocuted and hairless--and decidedly not James Earl Jones--died and the Death Star exploded, effectively wiping out the Sith, releasing their chokehold on the Galaxy and infuriating whoever was the lienholder on the destroyed battle station.
"Bank of America is going to be pissed."
Simultaneous celebrations were held on countless planets because evidently news travels fast through the infinite expanse of fucking space. Our heroes dance with some teddy bears and the credits roll.
Not So Fast...
In the unofficial "sequel" stories, this happens:
That is, the Empire keeps rolling right along, imposing space-tyranny on all who stand in their way.
And the thing is, it's hard to argue with the idea.
Neither the Emperor nor the Death Star had ever been a threat to the Rebellion, so, you know, fuck those first three movies. The Imperials had been able to control the Galaxy without a Death Star for a couple of decades, relying instead on fleet warfare and ground support for good old fashioned genocide. As for the Emperor, does killing the leader of a tyrannical government with a powerful and loyal army immediately end the entire conflict?
According to the majority of the books and comics set after the original trilogy, with the Emperor gone, there were hundreds of Admirals, Generals and Politicians who vied for control of the Galaxy. Without a universally accepted leader, the Empire spiraled into a civil war.
The Rebellion is still, well, a Rebellion, which means it still has to gain victory over the remaining Imperials to win, who are in turn fighting amongst themselves. And so, the Skywalker family, which you may remember as being the entire point of the Star Wars saga, fades into the background as we watch the Rebels continue to fight two different Empires for 20 more years. During that time it's fair to assume billions more people died and trillions more words of poorly written dialog were spoken.
"George, I don't even know what this means..."
"You say what's on the page or I'm leaving you in the fucking desert."
#4. Cloning the Emperor
As Seen In: The Dark Empire, Dark Empire II and Empire's End comic series.
Oh, hey, speaking of the dead Emperor, he is dead, right? After all, Darth Vader basically sacrificed himself to kill the man and wipe out this dark threat to The Force for all time.
Yes, that sure was a meaningful sacrifice Anakin made to redeem himself and save countless lives.
Not So Fast...
That is, until in the "sequel" stories Emperor Palpatine is brought back from the dead in a clone body that inexplicably looks like Buck Compton from Band of Brothers.
Or if Billy Zane and Val Kilmer collided at 200 mph.
Once more, you can see why they did it. You need a villain. And if George Lucas had written the sequel stories, it's hard to believe he wouldn't have done the same, after he contorted every prequel storyline to shoehorn in as many OT characters as he could.
In this storyline, Palpatine, secure in his new corporeal digs, proceeds to use a variety of nifty tactics that nearly annihilate the Rebels. The reasons why he waited until after his death to employ these tactics are beyond even the wisest of us.
To make things worse, Luke Skywalker, forgetting absolutely everything about his dad's story arc, thought the best way to deal with this threat was by becoming Palpatine's new apprentice. Although he tries to sabotage the Empire's efforts from the inside, he eventually succumbs to the Dark Side, presumably because the temptation of paid vacation and a dental plan proved to be too great.
He also does convention appearances
After Luke essentially becomes the Sega Genesis to Vader's Master System, Leia comes to her brother's rescue and eventually redeems him (you may remember this as the exact same plot of the original trilogy). Unfortunately it's already too late for most of the galaxy, as the Empire has already managed to decimate entire worlds without a Death Star and is within sight of total victory (evidently "total victory" means "killing every last motherfucker in space").
Palps is eventually killed by Empatojayos Brand, an ancient Jedi better known as Master Desperate Plot Device, thus ending the crisis and allowing the Dark Empire series to stop wasting our goddamn time.
"You mean we just retell the exact same story and sell it as a sequel? Brilliant! Pass the cocaine!"
#3. Adding A Bunch of New Jedi
As Seen In: Dark Empire, Dark Empire II, Empire's End, The Force Unleashed and pretty much every other piece of media.
Pretty much the entire point of the original trilogy was that Luke Skywalker, son of Darth Vader, is the last hope for the Jedi Order and the Galaxy. You know, the other Jedi having been ruthlessly hunted down and destroyed by the Empire and all.
The only exceptions are Obi Wan, whose force powers seem to have degenerated into keeping an immaculately trimmed beard in the middle of the desert, and Yoda, who seems to have gone so batshit insane that all he can do is talk like Super Grover in cryptic nonsensical jibber-jabber and lift shit out of bogs with his mind.
Seriously, we're amazed he didn't start playing the fucking spoons or something.
With only these three superpowered individuals left, the future of the Galaxy seems bleak.
Not So Fast...
One thing the good guys have to do to deal with the post-Death Star Empire is enlist the help of Jedi. Lots of them. In "sequel" comics like Dark Forces, much of the plot involves enlisting the help of these guys that are just hanging around in remote parts of the galaxy.
As it turns out, contrary to popular belief (a term which here means "what the films specifically told us in no uncertain terms"), the Jedi were not entirely wiped out but merely went into hiding. Again, we understand it's not Star Wars without Jedi and you can't wait for an army to be rebuilt from Luke and Leia's inbred children. The writers only had so many options.
But are we really to believe that these characters just sat on their fat asses, doing nothing to help while their Jedi brethren were getting thrown in the dumpster? That seems just a little out of character for the Galaxy's "Protectors of Freedom."
"Hey, we're on break."

CU-Boulder planetary scientist Larry Esposito remembering the Voyager mission.
CU-Boulder Scientist Reflects on Impact of Voyager Mission Decades Later
Jan. 12, 2012 Larry Esposito
When the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft launched in 1977, they began a groundbreaking journey throughout the solar system. The mission had both spacecraft passing by Jupiter and Saturn while Voyager 2 went on to visit Uranus and Neptune.
CU Boulder Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics Professor Larry Esposito remembers when he first saw the pictures from the Voyager mission. He said he and the many other scientists working on Voyager where speechless.
CUT 1 "Just awestruck, out of breath, you couldn't imagine that Saturn was like this, or Jupiter or Uranus or Neptune. (:07) And even all the studies we had done we'd been limited by never being there, so in space you go to the planet and we went to Saturn we discovered things we had never seen before." (:17)
As a member of the LASP team, Esposito helped create the photopolarimeter -- a small telescope on the Voyager that measures light intensity and polarization. The device helped scientists determine the structure of Jupiter's Great Red Spot and how many rings surrounded Saturn.
CUT 2 "As we got closer to Saturn, everyday we'd discovered more rings. So one day there were 10, another day there were 100, then more than 1000. The number of rings now, it's in the tens of thousands. (:10) The structure in Saturn's rings is just not something you could count, we ran out of letters and numbers, and so just every day we got closer we saw more new things." (:20)
In addition to collecting planetary data, Voyager also carries information describing Earth. If intelligent life captured the spacecraft, they could follow instructions to play a record of music and view pictures of Earth.
CUT 3 "It's very unlikely that any intelligent civilization will intersect with the Voyager in the emptiness of space, on the other hand, it really says something about us. (:09) It says something that when we're exploring the universe we're also sending a message out to any other possible intelligence. And the message is about us, not just our science but our music and our greetings from the Earth." (:22)
Voyager will continue to explore new frontiers as the spacecraft prepares to exit the solar system. Now, instead of planets, Voyager will view the interactions between the solar system and the universe.
CUT 4 "We planned to discover not only edge of the solar system, but how the winds from the other stars blow on our own solar system and how that interaction between our little neighborhood occurs with the rest of the Universe. Beyond that it's hard to say what we're going to discover." (:14)
Voyager 1 is now sending data to Earth from over 11 billion miles away and NASA says it expects it to reach interstellar space in an undetermined time ranging from a few months to a few years.

According to this answer, three women who have eaten together may make a zimmun. The usual formulation of the zimmun, "רבותי נברך", does not make sense for women. What formulation should women use when making a zimmun?

Dan's answer addresses the salutation.
The invitation to bless, however, might also do well to be adjusted. While in modern Hebrew (and, indeed, for a very long time, historically) the feminine, plural, first person call to bless is the same as the masculine (נברך), a more archaic form of the word (and thus, perhaps, a more correspondingly appropriate feminine equivalent to the standard men's Zimmun) is נברכנה.
I would suggest that an appropriate formulation (though by no means the only valid formulation) would be גברותי נברכנה.
That's assuming you stick with Hebrew, of course.
Rabbi Dr. Ari Zivotofsky, in his article on women's zimmun (published in the OU's Jewish Action Magazine, Fall 5760/1999 issue (link)), suggests gevirotai or chaverotai.

A projective nonsingular variety $X$ over a number field $K$ has the notion of good reduction at places $p$ of $K$. Informally, $X$ has good reduction modulo $p$ if $X$ remains nonsingular when reduced modulo $p$. A theorem states that for all but finitely many primes we have good reduction (See Hindry and Silverman's "Diophantine Geometry: An Introduction", Proposition A.9.1.6, p.158).
Is there a similar notion of good reduction for singular varieties?
For example, suppose I have a surface with a single singularity, I expect that for almost all primes the surface will remain "nice" when reduced modulo $p$.

Charlotte, who returns eight letterwinners and three starters, were picked 12th of 16 teams in the preseason poll. Saint Joseph's was chosen as the preseason favorite.
The league announced the poll and awards Thursday in conjunction with its annual Media Day, held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, which is the site of the 2013 Atlantic 10 Tournament . Both the awards and the predicted order of finish were chosen by a panel of the league's head coaches and media members.
Saint Joseph's was picked to finish first. Saint Louis, VCU and Temple round the top four teams in the preseason poll. Massachusetts, Butler, La Salle and Dayton were picked to finish between 5th and 8th respectively. Xavier, Richmond, St. Bonaventure and Charlotte round out the top 12 teams in the preseason poll.
Last season, Braswell became the 24th 49er to score 1,000 career points. He enters his senior season with 1085 career points. He led the 49ers in scoring (15.8 ppg) and rebounding (7.6 rpg) and blocked shots (36) last year. He averaged 16.9 points per game in Atlantic 10 play which is the 49ers highest league scoring average since Lamont Mack averaged 17.6 points per game in 2008-09.
Last season, Henry broke the 49ers' 28-year old freshman steals record with 72 steals. He finished second in the A-10 and seventh in the nation in steals at 2.6 per game. He also averaged 7.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. He recorded nine double-figure scoring games including a season-high 14 points against Rhode Island.
The 49ers begin practice for the 2012-13 season on Friday, October 12th. Niner Nation will get their first look at the 49ers with Basketball Madness on Thursday, October 18th and Fan Day on Saturday, October 20th. The 49ers play Pfeiffer in an exhibition game in Halton Arena on Thursday, November 1.

Darkroom/BW Film Development
From Noisebridge
< Darkroom
Revision as of 13:36, 28 January 2011 by SpammerHellDontDelete (Talk | contribs)
Basic Instructions
- In complete darkness, roll your film into a tank.
- Turn on safelight or house lights, as your paranoia permits.
- Rinse film by filling tank with water a couple times.
- Measure out developer according to chart A (I think this chart doesn't exist yet -- Kelly) and bring it to a given temperature, and measure out stop solution. (The Massive Dev Chart - times are in minutes)
- Add developer to tank and agitate it for a given amount of time, also according to chart A.
- Pour developer down drain or into a separate jug according to reusability of product.
- Add stop solution to tank. Rinse, agitate or soak for 30 sec - 2 min, according to your philosophy.
- Pour stop bath back into original jug. (we will have to periodically make a fresh stop bath)
- Rinse step with plain water. (at this point you can take your time and expose the film to light if you need to)
- Measure and add fixer.
- Return fixer to fix jug. (again, periodic refreshment of jug contents is necessary)
- Rinse step. Add water to tank and agitate gently. Here's the important part:
- Pour water from fix rinse into Special Disposal Jug.
- Hypo or Flo or unicorn semen or whatever you use to cleanse and protect your film.
- Drying and praying against the anti-dust gods. You may also want to use the film dryer.

I have laced and trued my first wheel (YAY!) at home, while in the fork. It is fairly true (to the point I used to pay money for), but I am not sure if the spokes are tensioned properly (I guess it is possible to have ill-tensioned wheel which is true). How to check that? Also, if the spokes are tensioned OK on the whole, how to check if individual ones are off? Squeezing by hand doesn't show any noticeably looser ones.

On a standard front wheel all spokes (both left and right) should (in theory) make the same musical note when plucked. A rear wheel is 'dished' to make room for the cassette. The non-drive side spokes will be at a lower tension (and pitch) than the cassette side. If you can find a bike with the same spokes and lacing pattern use that as a guide. If not, any newish bike can be used. Too much tension will damage the rim at the eyelets, whereas broken spokes are a sign of under-tensioning.
One thing that might help is an internal spoke wrench (not sure the technical term), they are designed to work from the inside of the rim, so you need to have your tires off. They are like a screw driver but with a pin that you insert into the head of the nipple and as you twist it, the spoke will push it out and all your spokes will be at the same tension.
From there you can go through and tighten them a little more if you like, just make sure you give every spike the same twist, 1/4 turn for example. The picture here looks like it was home made, and you could do something similar on your own with a screwdriver and a file.
This might not get you the "proper" tension, but it will give you even tension. With out a torque wrench, you just have to learn the tension by hand. I listen for the "pop" and gauge off of that.
