We all know that the moon somehow triggers the effect to cause a transformation. On that note, what is it about the moon?  Is it the light?    If that's the case will a total lunar eclipse mess up the transformation since he (Lupin) is no longer receiving the correct dosage of energy as the moon goes through all its phases very fast? Totality lasts about 20 minutes when the moon goes to a blood red color (which is due to atmosphere saturation).
In most fiction I've read or encountered, the change occurs as a simple consequence of the lunar cycle. Though from what I know of Harry Potter, the change that takes place is due to sighting the full moon (as occurs in the third movie, Prisoner of Azkaban) where the gang, plus Lupin, Severus, Sirius and Pettigrew emerge from the Whomping Willow and upon sighting the full moon he begins to change.  Is this the trigger for werewolves in the Potterverse? If not, why did he (Lupin as an example, though for any werewolf in general) not change whilst in the shrieking shack that night?  Edit: This  addresses Lupin's change but I'm after more general information about werewolves.
What are good starting settings to store for exposure bracketing shots? I started experimenting with the Custom Functions (C1,C2,C3) on my Canon 7D and I decided a useful one to have may be setting it up for exposure bracketing. So it's a quick switch if I ever need it, as opposed to going through the menu to set it up.  I realize the settings would vastly depend on the situation, but do you have any suggestions for some good all round settings to program in as a starting point?    Examples: 1 stop vs 1 1/3 vs 2 stop brackets / ISO choices / Metering mode / shooting mode and so on. Why does Linux show both more and less memory than I physically have installed? I think some good words would be conflicted, or confused. As an example of context, think of someone who believes in freedom of speech, but, at the same time, they would support banning comedians who make jokes about certain issues that person cares about. I would like to create a md5 checksum list for all files in a directory.  I want to cat filename | md5sum &gt; ouptput.txt. I want to do this in 1 step for all files in my directory.   Any assistance would be great. Why use a dedicated light meter instead of the one built into the camera? I want to get that fancy LaTeX symbol to put in one of my documents but I cannot find it anywhere.  All searching for things like latex symbol have not resulted in the symbol but other symbols. Using QGIS3 Processing algorithms from standalone PyQGIS scripts (outside of GUI) I'm writing a script which must work outside of QGIS GUI. I call some API functions from qgis.core but I'd like to use the processing plugin.  I'm able to import processing with sys.path.append() but I can't run any process. Moreover, all "native" algs are missing in QgsApplication.processingRegistry().algorithms()  So is it possible to run processing that way ? What am I missing ?  import os, sys from qgis.core import * QgsApplication.setPrefixPath('/usr', True) qgs = QgsApplication([], False) qgs.initQgis()  sys.path.append('/usr/share/qgis/python/plugins') from processing.core.Processing import Processing Processing.initialize() import processing  layer1 = QgsVectorLayer('data/ROUTE_PRIMAIRE.SHP') layer2 = QgsVectorLayer('data/ROUTE_SECONDAIRE.SHP')  processing.run('qgis:union', layer1, layer2, 'test.shp') # returns nothing   I'm on QGIS 3.0.1 - Debian 9 Sometimes a tag wiki excerpt or body ends up with unacceptable or useless content: plagiarized text that must be removed, or a totally unhelpful dictionary definition. (For example:  — and I've seen this situation many times before.)  The only way to get rid of that content is to submit replacement text that meets the minimum length requirement. This is not always easy as writing a decent wiki, and especially a decent excerpt, requires subject knowledge.  Currently the users or even moderators who are alerted to unacceptable content in a tag wiki cannot remove that content without providing their own, which they are not always in a position to do. Yet these wikis would be better off with no content than with either unacceptable or unhelpful content, or some content written by a non-expert in a hurry.  Please provide a way for users to blank a tag wiki excerpt or body. I'm not sure what the reputation requirement should be: same mechanism as for tag wiki edits (suggested edits with approval), or only done directly by a user with the trusted user (20k) privilege, or moderator-only. find() function in python2.7.5 A two column loop with one lead post I got a loop from internet (I forgot the site) for two column post view.

What is the best technique to calculate a confidence interval of a binomial experiment, if your estimate is that $p=0$ (or similarly $p=1$) and sample size is relatively small, for example $n=25$? Closed form for $\int_0^\infty\frac{1}{(1+x^2)^s}\,dx$ when $s\in (0.5,\infty)\setminus\mathbb{N}$ I know that the improper integral  $$ \int_0^\infty\frac{1}{(1+x^2)^s}\,dx $$ is convergent for $s&gt;0.5$ and divergent otherwise. Furthermore, it has a closed form for $s \in \mathbb{N}$ (this can be obtained using the Residue Theorem). My question is to know whether it has a closed form for any non-integer $s &gt;0.5$. Block specific URL on web browsers I want to block certain URLs on browsers. I don't want to block whole site. For example, I want to block , but not whole  domain. Is there any way I can do it? Can't reach wi-fi signal on Ubuntu, but can do it on other OS/devices (ath9k) I have two laptops, both running Ubuntu 13.10, as well as a different OS (Windows 7), dual boot on both.  My wi-fi router is on my bedroom and I want to get the wi-fi signal from the living room. I can reach the wi-fi signal from both pcs when running windows, with a relative good signal, but can't reach it on both of them when running Ubuntu, can't even connect to it.  Is there something that I can do to amplify the wi-fi signal? How do you prevent web pages from appearing in the Google search index? How to set font to Arial throughout the entire document? In preamble, I have:  \renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault} \usepackage{arial}   but it doesn't work.  How do I set my font to Arial throughout the entire document?  UPDATE:  In short, both answers work.  It really depends on the environment. If using LaTeX and don't mind using a cloned font then choose Herbert's answer. If using XeLaTex and want to use the authentic font then choose Leo's. Our company has multiple domains set up with one website hosted on each of the domains. At this time, each domain has its own authentication which is done via cookies.   When someone logged on to one domain needs to access anything from the other, the user needs to log in again using different credentials on the other website, located on the other domain.   I was thinking of moving towards single sign on (SSO), so that this hassle can be eliminated. I would appreciate any ideas on how this could be achieved, as I do not have any experience in this regard.  Thanks.  Edit: The websites are mix of internet (external) and intranet (internal-used within the company) sites. What is the value of $1^i$? What is the value of $1^i$? $\,$ I'm working on a custom report (Visual Force) to generate specific charts(using apex:radar chart) to our client. The problem is that we have to export the information to PDF format. Using the technique of include "renderAs" property on APEX tag, the PDF is generated but the chart isn't included on the PDF and the apex tags, used to show detailed information in a table, seem to be unconfigured.
