6 Random Coincidences That Created The Modern World
The stuff they say about time travel is right. You go back in time and change one little thing, and suddenly the future is full of Nazis and dinosaurs.
If you go back through history, you find that time and time again the huge changes that shape our world today all hinged on some utterly random coincidence. Change it, and the entire course of history changes with it.
#6. The Sandwich that Started a World War
You probably know from history class that World War I started with the assassination of an Austrian Archduke named Franz Ferdinand, kicking off a domino effect of events that left millions dead. You may not know, however, that what knocked over that first domino was a sandwich.
There was this guy named Gavrilo Princip. He was a Bosnian student and guerrilla, part of a group called the Black Hand. Sounds like the evil organization of mages that secretly controls the world, right? Unfortunately, it was something a lot less awesome: a Slavic independence group.
And for some weird reason, they really hated Franz Ferdinand.
To be fair, he had that kind of face.
The World-shattering Coincidence
Let's make sure to clear this up: Gavrilo Princip very much wanted to assassinate Uncle Franz. It was how it happened that was so fucking random.
In mid-1914, Ferdinand, his wife and the obligatory group of less important political figures and other random hangers-on that always accompanies a soon-to-be-assassinated fool, were cruising through the streets of Sarajevo in a (stupidly) open-top car.
The Black Hand had crafted an intricate assassination plot, which basically consisted of, "just kill this dumbass somehow." Unfortunately, as is always true with intricate assassination plots, something went wrong.
When Franz's motorcade passed by the assassins, one of the group, a guy named Nedeljko Cabrinovic, lobbed a grenade at the motorcade. The problem was he was using a shitty 1914 grenade, so it took 10 seconds to detonate, and by then Uncle Franz was out of range. The unlucky fools in the car behind them bit it instead, and the assassins dispersed in the chaos.
Cabrinovic took a cyanide pill that failed to kill him and jumped into a three foot river to "drown" himself. Franz and his party, it seemed, were safe.
But Franz was not yet done putting his life in insane danger. Against the advice of pretty much everyone, he insisted on going to the hospital to visit the people who were injured by the grenade. The driver, unfortunately, had no idea where the fuck he was going. They ended up crisscrossing hilariously through the streets of Sarajevo, until they just randomly happened to pass a cafe where, you guessed it, Gavrilo Princip was enjoying a post-failed-assassination sandwich.
After the obligatory pause of dumbfounded luck, Princip grabbed his pistol and turned the tide of history.
And How Did it Change The World?
First, WWI broke out ...
Pictured: Gavrilo Princip's fault.
... Then there was the post-war economic failure...
... Which was part of the reason Germany actually elected...
Pictured: Gavrilo Princip's fault.
... Who caused...
Pictured: Gavrilo Princip's fault.
... Which ended with...

... which resulted in the Cold War...

... Which led to...
Pictured: Gavrilo Princip's fault.
... And finally gave us:
Pictured: Gavrilo Princip's fault.
Pictured: Gavrilo Princip's fault.
That's right. Most of the horror and death of the 20th Century may not have happened had Gavrilo Princip not gotten the munchies for a sandwich.
#5. The Rejected Art School Application that Killed 35 Million People
OK, maybe we're being too hard on Princip. After all, we might not have had World War II if a particular art school had relaxed their admissions standards a little.
For instance, what do you think of this painting?
Sort of OK, right? You probably wouldn't hang it on your wall, but at least it does look professional.
Would you accept the painter to your art academy? If you said no, then you're just like the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, who rejected a little someone named Adolf Hitler.
The Ridiculous Coincidence
In 1905, a young Adolf left his tiny Austrian hometown and moved to Vienna, all starry-eyed and with dreams of becoming a great artist. Unfortunately for the world, the academy rejected him. Twice.
Is this picture not inexplicably horrifying?
A few months after his second rejection, his mother died, cutting off his financial support. With no direction and no career to pursue, young Adolf was forced to move to the crappy Vienna slums, which were full of all sorts of filthy minorities, including Czechs, Croatians, Italians and, worst of all, Jews.
Hitler claimed that it was in Vienna when he became an anti-Semite. Specifically, it was one Orthodox Jew that he saw one day and simply couldn't shake from his mind. If only he had been somewhere else during these years, like, say, among a bunch of liberal artist types at the dormitory of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
After spending several years in Vienna among all the disgusting non-Germans, Hitler decided to move to Munich. A year later, someone decided to go for a sandwich and WWI broke out. Without anything better to do, he joined the army, quickly rising through the ranks until he ended up a member of the German military police, tasked with infiltrating a little group known as the National Socialist German Workers Party.
If only there had been something else occupying his time, like painting naked chicks at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. And totally not thinking about how much he hated Jews.
And How Did it Change The World?
It was a little more than a decade after he joined the Nazi party that he got elected Chancellor and became the modern face of evil. We'll never know what would have happened had he gone to art school. Hell, maybe if he stayed in Austria, he would have gotten drafted into the Austrian army instead of the German one. There, some random Russian could have killed him in one of Austria-Hungary's many, many defeats during WWI.
#4. The Cigar Box that Won the Civil War
What would you do if you found a cardboard box lying around in the middle of the countryside, like, say, an old cigarette carton or something? Would you ignore it? Kick it at a nearby squirrel for the hell of it? Assume that it contains something horrifying, like a human pancreas stolen by the Organ Mafia, and leave it alone?
During the Civil War the Union Corporal Barton W. Mitchell found just such a worthless-looking box, but did none of those things. He opened it instead, and that may be the reason that today the USA is one country instead of two.
The Ridiculous Coincidence
Late in 1862, the Confederate army was well into its invasion of Maryland. Confederate Supreme Commander Robert E. Lee drafted a document called Special Order 191, which described in extreme detail every movement of every brigade of his army for the next several months. He gave copies of the order only to his most trusted generals, including Stonewall Jackson.
He could wreck you with his eyelashes.
Jackson, however, was way too lazy to write up individual orders to each of his commanders, so he gave them all copies of 191. One of those commanders was Daniel Harvey Hill, who did what we always do with our tax forms and jury duty papers: he left them on the ground, in a box, wrapped around three cigars. He then forgot about them.
"Boy, I am not a good commander."
Several days later, the aforementioned Union scout, Barton W. Mitchell, found the papers at the campsite, probably thinking, "Holy shit! Free cigars!"
He recognized the cigar wrappings as looking important and sent them off to his commander. That guy, in turn, sent them to his commander. Through who knows how many chances for the scrap of paper to get lost, bled on, eaten by a horse or for the guy holding them to get blown up by a cannon ball, they survived until some aide somehow recognized it as Robert E. Lee's handwriting.
He gave it to Union General George McClellan.
And How Did it Change The World?
Ever heard of the Battle of Antietam? The bloodiest day in American history? The North won, and from that point on the South didn't really have a chance.
Well, the Union won because it basically had the equivalent to Prima's Official Strategy Guide on Robert E. Lee's Invasion of Maryland.
From then on, a Union victory was pretty much guaranteed. Lincoln felt secure enough to give the Gettysburg Address, slavery officially ended, the South was reunited with the rest of America and talk of seceding from the union was gone forever. Well, until we elected a black president, anyway.

Getting Up To Speed With…Raquel Ivie
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Hull Family Photography)
Raquel Ivie has been racing ever since she was sixteen-years-old and last season she would capture her first career championship at the Cottage Grove Speedway in the Northwest Extreme Sprint Cars. Ivie, originally from Klamath Falls but now residing in Eugene, is a second generation driver following in the footsteps of her father Jim.
Ivie got her start eight years ago in the Kart ranks and eventually moved up to Sprint Cars a few years ago. Since then she has been a force to be reckon with. Last year she and Kady Adelman dominated the Northwest Extreme Sprint win column with six of the nine races being won by both of them. Ivie would win three of those six victories on her route to her championship.
However the title she achieved last year wasn't her first career championship as in 2008 she was triumphant in the 250cc division at River Arena Speedway in Roseburg. She also was the recipient of the most improved driver award in 2012 at Cottage Grove.
We got a chance to chat with Raquel just a few weeks after her successful trip to her first few races of the season. She was in action at the Silver Dollar Speedway's annual Silver Cup event in Chico, California for two nights of racing. She would finish thirteenth in the first night of action on Friday March 7th. Now let's get up to speed with Raquel Ivie.
Driver: Raquel Ivie
Hometrack: Cottage Grove Speedway
Hometown: Eugene, Oregon
Occupation: Pharmacy Assistant
Age: 24
Years Racing: 8
Classification: 360 Sprint
Team: Raquel Ivie Racing
Car: 70
Chassis: Maxim
Sponsors: Three Rivers Casino & Hotel, Bi-Mart, Brook's Cut Rate Auto Parts, More of Everything Racing Collectables, Hooker Harness
Special Thanks: Jim Ivie (Father)
BD: Last season when you captured the championship at Cottage Grove how awesome was that feeling?
RI: It was super awesome. I worked really hard to get that achieved. We just ran so close in points all season made it great to finally win one of those.
BD: How did you get your start in racing?
RI: My dad ran a Late Model in late 1980's and early 1990's. So when I was old enough I got a chance to get into Karts and I got my start there.
BD: What are some of your plans in 2014?
RI: Well I think we're going to run a bit of everything that we can. We'll be primarily racing at Cottage Grove with the 360's and even run some Limited Sprint races. We'll also run a few Non-Wing races and run when ASCS is in town.
Ever since got in into a Sprint Car I've always wanted to do the whole Speedweek. That is our main goal this year. We won't do a whole lot of traveling but I would like to travel to some close races like at Willamette.
BD: Why did you chose the #70?
RI: Actually it was my dad's old number. I ran #1 for my whole career up until 2012. My boyfriend Randy Martin ran his dad's old number one year so I thought it was cool thing to do and ran my dad's old number.
BD: What are some of your goals that you have set for yourself either long or short term?
RI: I think it would be great to get a win in either the 360's or Non-Wing Sprints. We don't plan to run in points with the Limiteds this year so our biggest focus is on the 360 stuff. Long term though I would eventually like to travel around a lot more.
The Cottage Grove Speedway is set to host a test and tune play day on Saturday April 5th while the first race of the year is planned for the following Saturday on the 12th. Log on to www.cottagegrovespeedway.com for news stories and articles related to the upcoming 2014 campaign.

Acupuncture in the Treatment of Children (9780939616305)
Publisher: Eastland Press
Binding: Hardcover
Pediatrics has long been recognized as an important branch of traditional Chinese medicine, and there are many specialized texts in Chinese devoted to this topic. In its first two editions (1986, 1991), Acupuncture in the Treatment of Children became the leading English-language textbook in this field.
In this broadly expanded third edition, the authors explore a number of new topics and revisit many of the old ones with fresh perspective. In addition to the thirty subjects covered in earlier editions are sixteen new chapters which examine a wide variety of topics, from basic childhood patterns, puberty and the stages of development, immunizations, and learning difficulties to hayfever, hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder, autism, Down�s syndrome, cerebral palsy and infantile paralysis. There is a new outline of patterns commonly seen in children, and an extensive survey of pediatric symptoms and disorders that are treatable with acupuncture.
The focus of this third edition is squarely on the problems of treating children in the Western clinic. New patterns that are unique to the lifestyles of children in the West�and new wrinkles on old patterns�are presented candidly and with a refreshing lack of jargon. There are also many new case histories sprinkled throughout the text, bringing theory down to earth.

Charlotte track and field seniors Jason Roberts (Jamestown, N.C. / Southwest Guilford HS) and Macey Ruble (Boone, N.C. / Watauga HS) were named to the 2012 Capital One Academic All-America Division I Second and Third Teams, respectively. Both sport 4.0 grade point averages.
Roberts is a six-time all-conference thrower for the 49ers. He ranks in the top-five in school history in five different events, including second all-time in the outdoor hammer and indoor weight throw. He was the 2009 A-10 Outdoor Field Performer of the Year and was named to the Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar List Second Team.
The throwing standout capped off an outstanding collegiate career this year, with his final competition coming at the 2012 NCAA East Preliminary. Earlier in May, Roberts was runner-up in the shot put and hammer and third in the discus at the 2012 Atlantic 10 Track & Field Outdoor Championships, helping the 49ers men win their fifth conference championship since joining the league in 2006. During the indoor season, he was also runner-up in the shot put, leading the Niners to a second place team finish at the conference meet.
Having earned a Bachelor's in Accounting in 2011, Roberts is working towards his Masters of Accountancy and boasts an impressive 4.0 GPA. He is a three-time Atlantic 10 Academic All-Conference selection.
Ruble, already the A-10 Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year and recipient of one of four A-10 postgraduate scholarships and earned the male track and field NCAA postgraduate scholarship, was a double major in physics and mathematics, with a minor in psychology. The pole vault specialist has placed in the top 10 at the Indoor A-10 Track and Field Championships all four years, his best finish a second at the 2010 A-10 Indoor Championships. Ruble also placed in the top five at the Outdoor track and Field A-10 Championships in his freshman, sophomore and junior seasons. His 15'1" mark in 2009 is tied for third all-time in the pole vault at Charlotte for an outdoor season, while a 14'3" jump stands as tenth-best at Charlotte for an indoor meet.
He is a four-time member of the Chancellor's List and Atlantic 10 Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll, as well as a two-time member of the Capital One Academic All-District Three Team (2010, 2012). Ruble is a three-time winner of the Hugh McEniry Men's Student Athlete of the Year at Charlotte, awarded to the male student-athletes with the highest grade point average in the department. Ruble was inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society in 2010 and Sigma Pi Sigma National Physics Honor Society in 2011.
The pair joins junior baseball student-athlete Shane Basen on the all-time Academic All-America list from Charlotte. The 49ers have earned 39 All-America nods in ten different sports, with 27 of those coming since the opening of the Athletic Academic Center in 2003.

No justification for national group's assault on yeshiva
Bette Jayne St. Leger, Waterbury
It is with great sadness that I read of the attack by the Washington, D.C.-based Americans United for the Separation of Church and State on our yeshiva community in the Hillside section of Waterbury (Oct. 8 article, "Group warns of yeshiva suit"). As residents of this neighborhood, my husband and I have been grateful for the presence of these wonderful families because they have so greatly enhanced our neighborhood. The yeshiva families are truly good neighbors. They contribute to the community in so many ways.

A Safe Haven
Tuesday, May 1, 2012
The issue of teen pregnancy has long been a challenge in society, taking an emotional and physical toll on those involved. It was particularly so in the early part of the 20th century when there was a significant social stigma attached to being an unwed mother. Here's how one newspaper reacted when The Salvation Army proposed opening a facility for unwed mothers in Richmond, VA in 1923:

I am 16 years old and want to get a job in the programming field in the future. Since I will be applying for a foreign university, I want to start programming by myself and gain experience, both to increase my chances for quality education and for later employment. Last year I learned Java, but whatever motivation I had mustered fizzled out after finishing the book, and I only did some basic work on a project I came up with by myself, before getting stuck and abandoning it.
This year, I decided to learn C#. My Java knowledge, however small it may be, would help me pick up and remember more information from a beginner book, and since an year of inactivity without much prior experience warrants a reread anyway, I thought I might as well learn a different-yet-similar language, as opposed to just going through my HF Java for a second time.
I picked up Herb Schildt's "C# 3.0 A Beginner's Guide" and finished it. However, I have no idea what to do now. Come up with a random project and work on it (potentially picking up something far beyond my limited ability)? Read up on more advanced topics (even though I don't have any practical experience)? I'm at a loss regarding what to do to actually become a capable programmer, after reading a beginner's book.

Given for example, a Hydrogen atom (that can only have 1 bond max), that is sitting on a bonder next to two other atoms that are also on bonders and have available bonding slots, how is it determined which atom the Hydrogen ends up bonding to? I've tried experimenting with it being a priority order of directions, but that doesn't seem to be correct.
I'm afraid there's no real science behind this. Each bonder has a priority number likely based on the internal data structure (array, linked list, whatever). The game just processes this list in a first through last order. So the bonding order in game is just how the bonders happen to be arranged. I would be nice if they were labeled, but as far as I know there's no way to get their priority in game. So with two bonders linked, it just goes through the list sequentially. For example, with 4 bonders the list of checked links would look something like this:
Which is simply an ordered list of the pairs of priority numbers. With that knowledge, you just need to know which bonder has which priority. Though experimentation I've found that:
For 4 bonders in a fresh level the bonder priority numbers are:
For a fresh level with 8 bonders the bonder priority numbers are:
I don't think that there is a strict order of bonder preference; it is based on something else.
I did the following experiment: three bonders in a horizontal row, with an unbonded H at each one. I recorded the results of the six combinations of bonders.
I reran this many times, and there was always a 50% split with one group preferring 'L' bonding, one group preferring 'R' bonding, and one group being split. (Each group is identified by the bonder in the middle.)
So there is evidently some structure to the evaluation, but each of these six cases is contradicted by another one (if we assume the bonders evaluate in order); i.e., if (a) is the correct order, then why in (b) does the bonder prefer (2,3) over (1,2)? This is true for every case.
The mouse wheel trick seems to be doing something (it made a click and I assume processed an action), but I could not change the output of (a).
I used a few hours testing. The result is that there is a hidden priority, but the bonder only checks the bonder right and under it. That means if there are 4 bonders build up the following way:
First bonder 1 will check below and right of it and can't find anything to bond. The second step is that bonder 2 will bond with bonder 3 and 4. Afterwards bonder 3 bonds with 1 and last bonder 4 doesn't find anything to bond.
If a bonder has two possible connections (right and under it), then it will bond first with the bonder with the higher priority (lower number). That means the second step bonder 2 will first bond with 3 and then with 4.
The bonders each have a "hidden priority", where they will try the other bonders in a certain order. If it's not doing what you want, you can swap the bonder's position around.
Sorry, can't find a good source to cite for this.
Apparently, if you 'mouse over' the bonder and roll the mouse wheel up/down, the bond order of the bonders changes. It worked for me.

Menopause Health Center
Antidepressants for Hot Flashes
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
How It Works
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) affect the brain's use of a neurotransmitter chemical called serotonin, which is thought to have a role in regulating body heat. Increased serotonin use by the brain can also improve perimenopausal mood swings and irritability.
Venlafaxine affects the brain's serotonin and norepinephrine levels. How it affects hot flashes is not known. Mood may also improve with venlafaxine use.
Why It Is Used
Select antidepressants are used to treat hot flashes affecting menopausal women. They may also help with irritability, depression, and moodiness. They can be used before and after menopause as a symptom treatment alternative to hormones (birth control pills or hormone therapy [HT]).
Antidepressant therapy helps many men and women who have hot flashes from cancer treatment. But if you take tamoxifen to treat your cancer, you need to avoid certain antidepressants. Talk to your doctor about what medicines for hot flashes are right for you.
Do not take venlafaxine if you:
- Have had an allergic reaction to this medicine in the past.
- Are currently taking an MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitor). This is an antidepressant and antianxiety medicine. Examples include isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine sulfate (Nardil), and tranylcypromine (Parnate).
How Well It Works
Studies have shown that certain antidepressants may help relieve hot flashes.1
- In a randomized, controlled trial of escitalopram (Lexapro), researchers report that menopausal women had at least a 50% reduction in the severity and number of hot flashes a day after 8 weeks of treatment.2
- Venlafaxine (Effexor) lowers the number and severity of hot flashes for most women. This includes women with severe hot flashes from tamoxifen, a cancer-fighting hormone drug. In several studies, venlafaxine was most effective for hot flashes when used at a lower dose than is normal for treating depression.3
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Thoughts of suicide.
- Agitation and restlessness.
- Seizures.
- Fast heartbeat
- Nausea and vomiting.
Common side effects of these medicines include:
- Loss of sexual desire or ability.
- Irritability.
- Trouble sleeping or drowsiness.
- Headache.
- Changes in appetite.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an advisory on antidepressant medicines and the risk of suicide. The FDA does not recommend that people stop using these medicines. Instead, a person taking antidepressants should be watched for warning signs of suicide. This is especially important at the beginning of treatment or when doses are changed.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Never suddenly stop taking antidepressants. The use of any antidepressant should be tapered off slowly and only under the supervision of a doctor. Abruptly stopping antidepressant medicines can cause negative side effects or a relapse of your condition.
For menopause symptoms, these medicines are often prescribed in lower-than-normal doses. This helps limit the side effects of the medicine and makes it easier to stop taking the medicine when you no longer need it.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

If a Chabad-Lubavitch couple decide to live as shlichim (emissaries) in some place far from New York, what's the most common age and location of retirement? Do they tend to remain in their location? Move to Israel? Florida? New York?
Sign up

Anecdotally, I've heard that it is common for shluchim, as one of their first acts upon arrival in a new community, to purchase burial plots for themselves - thus demonstrating that they intend to remain there for the rest of their lives. Most of them do in fact do so. One example is R' Yehuda Leib Raskin, shliach in Casablanca, Morocco, who passed away in 2004 after 44 years on the job, and whose wife Reizel תבדלח"ט is still running the Chabad House there.
(Although in practice, of course, this isn't always the case. I know several shluchim who left their positions, some voluntarily and some not so.)
Shlichus, like described in the Gemara, means that one is sent on a mission and accepts to fulfill it. The Rebbe sent his emissaries out on their mission (and Shliach Oseh Shliach) to make this world a holier, more G-dly place and to usher in the final Redemption, Moshiach.
This explains why Shluchim do not retire, leave their positions, or make Aliyah to Israel - except under extraneous circumstances, as there is still work to do.
Moreover, Chabad Shluchim take after the Rebbe who was generally opposed to the idea of retirement. Over the course of one's life, whether in business, teaching or outreach, they attain a greater impact and ability to influence those around them. This should not end at 65, or 70, but as long as humanly possible.
With regard to financial arrangements, this falls under the jurisdiction of the respective community as it does with any respected rabbi or community leader.
I don't know if I'd call it typical, but Rabbi Zalman Posner was sent to Nashville Tennessee by the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe in 1949. He retired 53 years later, in 2002. It appears he still lives in Nashville, and continues to serve as Rabbi Emeritus at Congregation Sherith Israel.
I know of only one Shaliach who is contemplating retirement due to personal circumstances, and it is widely believed by those close to him that he may well retire back to Crown Heights to be close to his family, but that this is a long way off (he's been a Shaliach for some 20+ years). Other than that, I've never heard of a Shaliach retiring.

Whenever I select an object by clicking on it in Illustrator CS6, the second I move my mouse it moves the object. Is there a way around this? I just need to select an object and then change it's color or font but as soon as I move my mouse, the object is moved 3-4 pixels.
closed as off-topic by Scott, Vincent♦, Benteh, JohnB♦ Apr 4 '14 at 13:23
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
I figured it out based on this post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/758287.
I had Rightzoom running in the background and once I turned it off, all was well. I hope this helps anyone else and thanks for your help @tehMacDawg.
If the objects move only a few pixels, might this be related to the notorious Align to Pixel Grid option? When creating a new Illustrator document for screen media, there is this option in the 'New' dialog box that is activated by default. (It helps avoiding blurry lines in the artwork when creating graphics for screens...) If you've been creating a new document, do this again and uncheck that option. Otherwise, it's possible to activate/deactivate this automatic re-alignment for each object using the Transform panel (you need to expand the options of the Transform panel via the drop-down menu in the upper right corner.)
Sounds like an issue with the mouse, not Illustrator. There is absolutely no "sticky click" option anywhere in Illustrator

Battlefield Hardline singleplayer campaign to benefit from Visceral's experienceWritten by: / / 4 Comments
Despite the general consensus, I enjoyed the singleplayer in Battlefield 3 so when Battlefield 4 rolled around, I was looking forward to another solid campaign, which in the end unfortunately left me cold.
DICE doesn't do out-of-this-world-stellar singleplayer games, but together with Battlefield 3 and the Bad Company games, they're capable of crafting great solo moments.
With Battlefield Hardline, Visceral Games has taken on development duties while DICE focusses on patching up Battlefield 4 and working on games like the next Mirror's Edge and Star Wars Battlefront, so it's heartening to hear the studio behind the next Battlefield game talk about innovating on singleplayer while taking advantage of lessons learned creating the Dead Space series.
Speaking to Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Hardline creative director Ian Milham said of the campaign:
"When we were thinking about how to do this game, I think anybody who knows us at Visceral knows that singleplayer is near and dear to our heart. We've done a pretty OK job of it before, and we have some pretty cool ideas for this one.
"On the singleplayer side the stuff that's important to us is maybe not do as much of a single-path linear rollercoaster that's been done before. We want more tactical choice, more player choice. Things to do besides just shoot everybody. That's not really a cop thing as much."
The idea that the team is keeping in mind that police officers and SWAT teams don't (always) go in guns blazing when dealing with difficult situations is good to hear, so here's hoping Visceral can follow through and deliver on those "pretty cool ideas" they have floating in their minds.
When playing games like Battlefield and Call of Duty, do you bother with the singleplayer campaign or do you hop straight into multiplayer?
What do you think of the Battlefield Hardline beta so far?
Battlefield Hardline is out on October 21st worldwide, across PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
For the profiling side of things, as long as you are using GNU, you can use gprof. It will give you results like this:
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
THe great thing about this is that it has all functions in the system traced so that you get an accurate view of which function to look at.
For duration (time) I would also use a profiler. However, if you want to track certain methods in particular, I have used the trick of defining a small timer class that starts a timer in the constructor and stops it in the destructor. Then all you need to do is to define a local timer variable at the beginning of the methods you want to profile, like this:
The destructor of the timer variable will log the name of the method and the duration when you exit the method.
Yes, using a profiler is much cleaner and you don't need to changed the code (even though I normally add the timer variables in a separate copy of the source code so no clean-up is needed afterwards) but I found this method an effective alternative to using a profiler if the code you want to profile is very localized.
Just my 2 cents.
I agree with Pubby that profiling using external tools is better. Here are some pointers:
To get a rough estimate of the time an executable takes, I would use a linux tool like
Gives you feedback on how long it took. You could also write a small Python script which does this a few times and averages the results. See this SO thread for some hints how to measure the memory used by an application.
But this gives only a cumulative view of your program. Much more interesting is to break this analysis up for different parts of your code. You can do this by profiling your code, for example using the GNU profiler
This is a very bad idea, because there are already tools to do that.
On linux, there is
Also on linux, you can use massif, which is a heap profiler.
For measuring space, I'll defer to other answers.
For time, I have to ask, are you measuring just because you want to measure, or because you want to make the program take less time?
I only ask because measuring time, even of individual functions, does not tell what you should fix to make it run faster. It may tell you where you shouldn't look (i.e. functions with low inclusive percent), but that doesn't tell you where you should concentrate. To do that, here's the method I use.
I am sure you must have a very good reason to profile your C++ program using another C++ program. If you are in Linux, I suggest you look into details of the /proc filesystem and files like meminfo which the OS maintains tracking your runtime memory usage.
If you are in the mood to explore tools that can take a lot of hard work to develop on your own I suggest you look into Quantify, VTune, Valgrind etc.
Space: Use specialized allocator(s). This way, you can record exact memory consumption and events -- local to the implementation you are interested in measuring. For example:
Time: Agner is a good reference. http://www.agner.org/optimize/ Agner Fog goes deep into costs and measurement in writing -- several books (or manuals) are available. The site also hosts implementations which measure execution times.

Native American Tribes of the Great Plainsby Liz Olson
The Great Plains is an area of the United States stretching east to west from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains and north to south from Canada to Mexico. Native Americans of the Plains endured hot summers and long cold winters, settling along the rivers, hunting, fishing, and farming to survive. Tribes of the Plains shared some similarities in culture and tradition, but each had distinctive qualities that made them unique. Follow this slideshow to learn about some of the Native American tribes that inhabited the Great Plains during the 19th century.
1 of 11
The Comanche tribe first appeared in New Mexico around 1705 after separating from the Shoshoneans who lived further north. In the late 18th and early 19th century, the Comanche lived in the Great Plains that includes present day Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. The Comanche were excellent horsemen, often raiding south into Mexico. They were extremely warlike and effectively prevented white settlers from passing safely through their territory for more than a century. The Comanche considered themselves superior to other Plains tribes, and their language served as the trade language for the area.
Featured Fact: In their own language, the Comanche call themselves Numinu, which means "the people".

Feeling out of synch? The world's most precise clock is now located on the CU-Boulder campus.
In a laboratory at JILA—a joint institute of CU-Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology—researchers have developed a new strontium atomic clock that has set world records for both precision and stability. It "ticks" 430 trillion times per second.
The JILA strontium lattice clock is about 50 percent more precise than the record holder of the past few years, NIST's quantum logic clock. The new clock is so precise it would neither gain nor lose one second in about 5 billion years, if it could operate that long. This time period is longer than the age of the Earth, an estimated 4.5 billion years old.
The strontium clock's stability—the extent to which each tick matches the duration of every other tick—is about the same as NIST's ytterbium atomic clock, unveiled in August 2013.
The new clock was announced Jan. 22 in the online edition of Nature.
"We already have plans to push the performance even more," said group leader Jun Ye, an adjoint professor of physics and a NIST/JILA Fellow. "So in this sense, even this new Nature paper represents only a 'mid-term' report. You can expect more new breakthroughs in our clocks in the next 5 to 10 years."
In JILA's world-leading clock, a few thousand atoms of strontium are held in a column of about 100 pancake-shaped traps called an optical lattice formed by intense laser light. JILA scientists detect strontium's "ticks" by bathing the atoms in very stable red laser light at the exact frequency that prompts the switch between energy levels.
Recent technical advances enabling the strontium clock's record performance include the development of ultrastable lasers and precise measurements of key effects—atom collisions and environmental heating—that cause tiny changes in the clock's ticking rate.
Co-authors on the research paper were B.J. Bloom, T.L. Nicholson, J.R. Williams, S.L. Campbell, M. Bishof, X. Zhang, W. Zhang and S.L. Bromley.
The research is supported by NIST, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the National Science Foundation.

BELLAIRE - Two arrests have been made in the case of the murder of a 92-year-old Bellaire woman in June.
Lydia Ashworth was found dead June 30 in her home at 124 Fourth Ave., West Bellaire, after a presumed burglary.
The hunt for the killers has continued since the crime.

TWO ARRESTS were made in the June murder of an elderly woman in Bellaire. From left are Bellaire Police Chief Mike Kovalyk, Deputy Ryan Allar, Prosecutor Chris Berhalter and Bellaire Officer J.J. Watson.

Belmont County Prosecutor Chris Berhalter released new information in a press conference Wednesday. J.J. Watson, Bellaire police officer who led the investigation, and Sheriff's Deputy Ryan Allar, who coordinated, were present with Bellaire Police Chief Mike Kovalyk.
"The Bellaire Police Department, with the assistance of the Belmont County Sheriff's Office, has been tirelessly investigating that crime," he said. "Based upon the evidence that has been uncovered during their investigation, charges were filed this morning against two individuals for the senseless murder of Ms. Ashworth."
Brandon Michael Phelps, 21, 1281 1/5 Birch St., Bellaire, and Devin Wayne Fuller, 19, 3577 Franklin St., Bellaire, have been apprehended in connection with the crime. Phelps is presently in the custody of the sheriff's office. Fuller was arrested in Ohio County Wednesday morning and is currently in Northern Regional Jail, awaiting extradition.
"Both have been charged with aggravated murder," Berhalter said, adding that next month all evidence will be presented to the Belmont County Grand Jury. The grand jury will decide whether to indict them on this and additional charges. "This charge of aggravated murder does carry with it the possible penalty of the death penalty."
The case remains under investigation, which will continue.
Berhalter added that the county has seen few crimes of such a serious degree.
"Even one is too many," he said.
Kovalyk added thanks to the officers as well as the law enforcement departments they have worked with in gathering intelligence and working across boundaries. He noted the cooperation of departments with individually limited resources in gathering evidence. In addition, he commended officers for the extensive man-hours spent on the case.
"We're committed to keeping our community safe the best way we can. We want to thank the people of Bellaire for supporting us in this investigation," he said. "In a major case like this, cooperation is vital to getting to this point to where we are today."

Hide/When - uiview - is there a patch available
Hello all,
we are about migrating our products to the web with extnd beta4.
nearly all works fine, but some essential things don't work.
1. Hide/When Formulas in view action bars
this does not work. Is there a workaround or has somebody a bypass ? If necessary, i'll pay for this.
2. Hide/When Formulas in outlines
the command @GetHTTPHeader always returns an empty string. The same command used for
the label of the outlineentry works. Is there a workaround ?
many thanks in advance
10 Dec 2011 6:34 AM #2
Hello Christan
What's the problem with the @GetHTTPHeader? It is working for me in the beta 4.
To make the hidewhen formulas work in view actions, you will need to change the xsl in the DXLExporter agent, so that the formulas are returned and handle them in the code of Ext.nd.Actionbar.
I started that task once but haven't finished it due to other commitments and also because I didn't need the hidewhen's yet.
18 Dec 2011 11:29 PM #3
HTTPHeader not working in hide/when
the problem ist following.
When you get the title of an outlineentry computed -> @GetHTTPHeader works.
When you try to hide the title with the same @GetHTTPHeader formula -> the formula always returns
an empty string.
What Ext Version do you use and what Notesversion ?
18 Dec 2011 11:31 PM #4
hide/when in uiviews
Thanks for the tip with the xsl.
If my rookie experiences will be enough to create a solution, i'll post it here.

In The Innkeepers (2011), Leanne Rease-Jones tried to warn Claire, and she seemed to know something crucial, but she never told the truth about what was going on. I am confused about the ending of this movie, and I'd appreciate it if someone provided a good explanation as to why Madeline O'Malley killed Claire?
It's like the orphanage, the ghosts didnt really do anything wrong....Leigh the spirtualist caught a glimpse of the future (she explained her abilities as being just that) and said she saw three spirits...one could assume this is Madeleine, her fiance who comitted suicide upstairs, and Claire herself...she was warned to stay away from the basement as Leigh foresaw her death there...but the ghosts themselve did not actually harm Claire...in fact it was only through her persistant attempts that there was any contact between them at all...she died of fright/asthma attack and Leigh's prophecy of three spirits being in the hotel was concluded!
Well, what happened is that the ghosts in the house were the two guys that killed the young woman. When the fiancée arrived at the hotel, she was already dead. The two killers made it look as though she had hung herself though, and it broke the man's heart to see his wife hanging there.
He took the blame of her death all to himself as he thought it was his fault that she hung herself, because he was late. With all that being said, it took a while for him to build up the balls to come back and kill himself to be with her.
Now the only question that remains is: why did Madeline kill the girl? Well, this is simple. The psychic told her not to go in the basement, because that is where Madeline was waiting for her husband to return. She meant no harm and all she wanted was to be left alone. "You don't disturb the dead".
If you want to find the full truth behind this masterpiece of film: Take a good look at Madeline's face. The truth lies within it.
If you want to find the full truth behind this masterpiece of film: Take a good look at Madeline's face. The truth lies within it.
I've watched the movie twice and I'm still trying to understand this statement. What can one derive from looking at her face. Brenda Cooney did a marvelous job playing Madeline, but there really wasn't anything a person could derive just by looking at her face.
My take was that Claire had come between her and the old man being reunited and she was exacting her revenge on Claire. Not to mention that Claire already had a breathing problem, hence the asthma emergency spritzer, and she simply died of fright.

December 1, 2010
New York University's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute and ProPublica, the Pulitzer-Prize-winning investigative journalism non-profit, have formed a joint project to enhance the genre of "The Explainer," a form of journalism that provides essential background knowledge to follow events and trends in the news.
The project aims to improve the art of explanation at ProPublica's site and to share what is learned with the journalism community. NYU's contributions will stem from the Carter Institute's Studio 20 concentration for graduate students, which runs projects on Web innovation.
"An explainer is a work of journalism, but it doesn't provide the latest news or update you on a story," said NYU Professor Jay Rosen, detailing the concept. "It addresses a gap in your understanding: the lack of essential background knowledge. We wanted to work with the journalists at ProPublica on this problem because they investigate complicated stories and share what they've learned with other journalists. It seemed like a perfect match."
"Orienting readers and giving them context has long been a key component of good journalism," said Eric Umansky, a senior editor at ProPublica. "But the Web allows you to re-think what forms that can take and how it should be done. We're thrilled to be working with Studio 20 and Jay on experimenting with that."
Bringing clarity to complex systems so that non-specialists can understand them is the "art" of the explainer. For instance, an explainer for the Irish debt crisis would make clear why a weakness in one country's banks could threaten the European financial system and possibly the global recovery. A different kind of explainer might show how Medicare billing is designed to work and where the opportunities for fraud lie.
"Good explainers are engaging, not only informative," observes Rosen. "They lower the barrier to entry to news stories that are difficult to summarize in a headline."
The joint effort with ProPublica, the "Building a Better Explainer" project, will run through the remainder of the 2010-11 academic year. The project site, Explainer.Net, will be edited by the Studio 20 team. The site will highlight outstanding work in explanation, interview skilled practitioners and update interested audiences on the project's progress.
Graduate students working under Rosen, and consulting closely with the editors of ProPublica, will:

ProPublica is an independent, non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest. In 2010, it was the first online news organization to win a Pulitzer Prize. With the largest news staff in American journalism devoted solely to investigative reporting, ProPublica is supported by philanthropy and provides the articles it produces, free of charge, both through its own Web site and to leading news organizations selected with an eye toward maximizing the impact of each article.
The Studio 20 concentration at NYU offers master's level instruction with a focus on innovation and adapting journalism to the Web. The curriculum emphasizes project-based learning. Students, faculty and visiting talent work on editorial and Web development projects together, typically with media partners who themselves need to find new approaches or face problems in succeeding online.

Bystander Intervention Training - Alan D. Berkowitz, Ph.D.
will be presented on Wednesday, August 26, 2009 from 1:15PM- 4:15PM in Newton 204 sponsored by College Union & Activities and Residence Life.
The role that bystanders can play in addressing health and social justice issues is receiving increasing attention.
Bystanders have the potential to intervene to prevent violence against women, hazing, when observing prejudicial remarks and behavior, and when individuals engage in behaviors damaging to personal health and well being.
Bystander intervention approaches encourage us to trust the voice within that senses when a wrong is being committed and to overcome the barriers that keep us from acting on our concern. Alan D. Berkowitz, Ph.D.

In one possible favorable sign for project supporters, the draft assessment said that building the pipeline would not "significantly" impact the further development of Canada's tar sands or US demands for heavy oil. The Obama administration likely will not make a final decision on the pipeline until this summer.
By KEITH JOHNSON and TENNILLE TRACY
WASHINGTON -- A State Department official said Friday that
the department's review of the long-delayed Keystone XL
pipeline doesn't reach any firm conclusions about the
environmental impact of the pipeline.
Kerri-Ann Jones of the State Department was speaking after
the release of a lengthy draft environmental review of the
pipeline, which would carry oil from Canada to the US.
In one possible favorable sign for project supporters, the
draft assessment said that building the pipeline would not
"significantly" impact the further development of Canada's tar
sands or US demands for heavy oil. Environmentalists have
attacked the project because, they say, further
tar sands development would be economically challenging without
a pipeline.
The Obama administration likely will not make a final
decision on the pipeline until this summer at the earliest. The
State Department said the preliminary environmental review would be
subject to 45 days of public comment, and it said it wouldn't
issue conclusions now.
"We" re not going to come out and make those conclusions at
this point, until we engage with the public and really get some
feedback. We have found that there are in some cases impacts,
in some cases those impacts can be mitigated," Ms. Jones said.
She called for a "fuller public debate before we move
The Obama administration rejected the pipeline in early 2012
after Congress set a decision deadline he called unworkable.
That prompted Canadian firm TransCanada to resubmit a permit
application for a revised pipeline route.
Approval of the project could help consolidate the
North American energy boom by making it easier to move about
800,000 bpd of crude oil from the Canadian province of Alberta
to the US Gulf Coast for refining. Approval would also smooth
relations with Canada, which is eager to see greater pipeline
construction to speed its crude to
However, approving the pipeline carries significant
political risk for the Obama administration. Many big environmental groups have long
opposed the project, both in its original form
because it would have crossed an ecologically sensitive aquifer
in Nebraska and because producing crude oil from tar sands
creates more greenhouse-gas emissions than regular crude-oil
Last month, environmentalists staged a large protest in front
of the White House urging Mr. Obama to block the pipeline.
TransCanada revised the route for Keystone XL last year to
address the Nebraska ecological concerns. Nebraska Gov. Dave
Heineman approved the new route in January.
Energy analysts believe Mr. Obama could approve the pipeline
and still assuage environmentalists by taking more aggressive
steps to curb greenhouse-gas emissions elsewhere. In his State of
the Union address, Mr. Obama said that he would use executive
actions in the absence of congressional action to limit
greenhouse-gas emissions.
The Environmental Protection Agency is
already preparing rules that would put sharp limits on the
amount of carbon dioxide that new power plants
can emit.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Harvard Expands Reach in Asia
HONG KONG—Harvard University is expanding its reach in Asia through its online program and by reaching out to students with lesser means, university President Drew Faust said.
EdX, the nonprofit joint venture started last year by Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, offers university-level classes free online and already has attracted more than 700,000 people. Most of those enrolled are from outside the U.S., and 44,000 are from East Asia, which includes China, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan, Dr. Faust said in an interview.
The history scholar said edX is well-received in the region, citing a biostatistics and epidemiology course that had 8,000 students from India.
"People see almost the miraculous impact [online education] can have and the ways in which the kinds of knowledge that people are so hungry for can be made available," she said.
Dr. Faust called edX a startup "in every sense of the word," adding that the site is searching for its business model, which could involve licensing course content and charging for certain offerings, such as executive business courses. She said the project will remain a nonprofit endeavor, "but we do understand ourselves that it has to be sustainable, ultimately."
Dr. Faust said edX has been producing online courses at a slower pace than competitors—such as the for-profit Coursera, which produces classes from 62 institutions including Duke University, the University of Pennsylvania and the National University of Singapore—so it can focus on engagement and quality. She said she hoped the university could learn from the online experiment and implement parts of it on campus.
Some users have had difficulty accessing course material that draws on YouTube—which is banned in China. Dr. Faust said edX is working to address the issue.
Dr. Faust, who will also visit South Korea, said China is the "largest supplier" of international students enrolled at the university's campus, in Cambridge, Mass., and is becoming a new source of alumni donors.
The school is one of the few American colleges that is a household name in China, and many Chinese parents dream of enrolling their children there. Harvard has been linked to the country's political elite, with the children of several top leaders attending the university. The daughter of Chinese President Xi Jinping is enrolled in Harvard, and the son of disgraced Chongqing Communist party chief Bo Xilai was enrolled at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
Dr. Faust said political connections don't boost an applicant's chances of getting accepted. "There are numbers of children of world leaders who get turned down," she said. Harvard has influenced China's current leaders as well. Li Yuanchao, a member of the powerful Politburo, studied at the Kennedy School in 2002.
Getting into Harvard is increasingly challenging—only 6% of applicants are accepted.
"We've been aggressive in recruiting students from lower-income families and indicating that we want them," she said. An undergraduate without financial aid paid $52,652 for tuition, room, board and fees during the 2012 academic year.
Dr. Faust said the school gave out $15 million in financial aid to Chinese students, $9 million of which went to students in Ph.D. programs.

Not too long ago I asked a well crafted question (really put a lot of work into the question) which didn't get such a good answer. But I had hope. I thought with a few comments we would arrive at a good answer.
I want to tell them: "Hey, I think your answer has the potential to be a good one if you would just explain yourself a bit more."
The problem is that half hearted answers make it look like my question is answered even though it hasn't been. How would you handle it when people provide insufficient answers?

I added the like facebook button on my website, it works well except that the popup window doesn't show me the correct content.
Simple sample: In the homepage of my website I set the title tag to its name, suppose it is called "the universe". Then I go to another page that has a title like "the sun is hot". If I click "like it" on this page the popup content shows me "the universe". This is wrong, I want "the sun is hot".
How to set the correct content on the popup window? Does the button "like it" take the title tag or what else? Thank you

I was watching a program about disaster preparedness, and it was suggested that the metal enclosure of a common shipping container (of the intermodal variety) would be sufficient to protect its contents from a large electromagnetic pulse (the kind that could affect an entire region or continent).
I have my doubts that this is true, as it seems like a misunderstanding of how electromagnetic pulses work—but I can't find any reliable resources on the subject.
What does physics have to say about this? Would a metal enclosure (such as a shipping container) protect its contents from the effects an electromagnetic pulse large enough to affect a large geographic region?
