I need to find Thomas cook flight number from Manchester, UK to Dalaman, Turkey on September 21st and 22nd, 2013.  Is there a tool to find flight numbers of past Thomas Cook airline flights?
The question  only deals with flights in the US sourced from the  . Is there some similar source for EU, Asia etc?
How to make a live Ubuntu 18.04 USB with a persistent storage of more than 4GB Quantum Entanglement - What's the big deal? Bearing in mind I am a layman - with no background in physics - please could someone explain what the "big deal" is with quantum entanglement?  I used to think I understood it - that 2 particles, say a light-year apart spatially, could affect each other physically, instantly.  Here I would understand the "big deal".  On further reading I've come to understand (maybe incorrectly) that the spatially separated particles may not affect each other, but in knowing one's properties you can infer the other's.  If that it the case, I don't see what the big deal is... 2 things have some properties set in correlation to each other at the point of entanglement, they are separated, measured, and found to have these properties...?  What am I missing? Is it that the particles properties are in an "un-set" state, and only when measured do they get set?  (i.e. the wave-function collapses).  If this is true - why do we think this instead of the more intuitive thought that the properties were set at an earlier time? jQuery not working in Wordpress 3.5 Modelling the "Moving Sofa" I believe that many of you know about the moving sofa problem; if not you can find the description of the problem .     In this question I am going to rotate the L shaped hall instead of moving a sofa around the corner. By rotating the hall $180^{\circ}$ what remains between the walls will give the shape of the sofa. Like this:    The points on the hall have the following properties:  \begin{eqnarray} A &amp; = &amp; \left( r\cos { \alpha  } ,t\sin { \alpha  }  \right)  \\ { A }' &amp; = &amp; \left( r\cos { \alpha  } +\sqrt { 2 } \cos { \left( \frac { \pi  }{ 4 } +\frac { \alpha  }{ 2 }  \right)  } ,t\sin { \alpha  } +\sqrt { 2 } \sin { \left( \frac { \pi  }{ 4 } +\frac { \alpha  }{ 2 }  \right)  }  \right)  \\ { B } &amp; = &amp; \left( r\cos { \alpha  } -\frac { t\sin { \alpha  }  }{ \tan { \left( \frac { \alpha  }{ 2 }  \right)  }  } ,0 \right)  \\ { B }' &amp; = &amp; \left( r\cos { \alpha  } -\frac { t\sin { \alpha  }  }{ \tan { \left( \frac { \alpha  }{ 2 }  \right)  }  } -\frac { 1 }{ \sin { \left( \frac { \alpha  }{ 2 }  \right)  }  } ,0 \right)  \\ C &amp; = &amp; \left( r\cos { \alpha  } +t\sin { \alpha  } \tan { \left( \frac { \alpha  }{ 2 }  \right)  } ,0 \right)  \\ { C }' &amp; = &amp; \left( r\cos { \alpha  } +t\sin { \alpha  } \tan { \left( \frac { \alpha  }{ 2 }  \right)  } +\frac { 1 }{ \cos { \left( \frac { \alpha  }{ 2 }  \right)  }  } ,0 \right)  \end{eqnarray}  Attention: $\alpha$ is not the angle of $AOC$, it is some angle $ADC$ where $D$ changes location on $x$ axis for $r\neq t$. I am saying this because images can create confusion. Anyways I will change them as soon as possible.  I could consider $r=f(\alpha)$ and $t=g(\alpha)$ but for this question I am going to take $r$ and $t$ as constants. If they were functions of $\alpha$ there would appear some interesting shapes. I experimented for different functions however the areas are more difficult to calculate, that's why I am not going to share. Maybe in the future.  We rotate the hall for $r=t$ in the example above: In this case:   point A moves on a semicircle  The envelope of lines between A' and C' is a circular arc. One has to prove this but I assume that it is true for $r=t$.   If my second assumption is correct the area of sofa is $A= 2r-\frac { \pi r^{ 2 } }{ 2 } +\frac { \pi  }{ 2 } $. The maximum area is reached when $r = 2/\pi$ and it's value is: $$A = 2/\pi+\pi/2 = 2,207416099$$  which matches with Hammersley's sofa. The shape is also similar or same:    Now I am going to increase $t$ with respect to $r$. For $r=2/\pi$ and $t=0.77$:    Well, this looks like .   I believe thearea can be maximized by finding the equations of envelopes above and below the sofa. Look at  where @Aretino has computed the area below $ABC$.   I don't know enough to find equations for envelopes. I am afraid that I will make mistakes. I considered to calculate area by counting number of pixels in it, but this is not a good idea because for optimizing the area I have to create many images.  I will give a bounty of 200 for whom calculates the maximum area. As I said the most difficult part of the problem is to find equations of envelopes. @Aretino did it.  PLUS: Could following be the longest sofa where $(r,t)=((\sqrt 5+1)/2,1)$ ?   If you want to investigate further or use animation for educational purposes here is the Geogebra file:      Ok, I had some free time and I count number of pixels in the sofa and I am sure that I have something bigger than Hammersley's constant.  First, I made a simulation for Hammersley's sofa where $r=t=2/\pi$ and exported the image to png in 300 dpi (6484x3342 pixels) and using Gimp counted number of pixels which have exactly same value. For Hammersley I got $3039086$ pixels.   For the second case $r=0.59$ and $t=0.66$ and I got $3052780$ pixels. To calculate area for this case:  $$\frac{3052780}{3039086}(2/\pi + \pi/2)=2.217362628$$  which is slightly less than Gerver's constant which is $2.2195$. Here is the sofa: How do I properly compare strings in C? Prove by induction: $$\frac1{n+1} + \frac1{n+2} + \cdots +\frac1{3n+1} &gt; 1$$  adding $1/(3m+4)$ as the next $m+1$ value proves pretty fruitless. Can I make some simplifications in the inequality that because the $m$ step is true by the inductive hypothesis, the 1 is already less than all those values? Deleted comments leave badge on iOS app When someone leaves a comment that involves you being notified, you get the notification both on the main toolbar on Stack Exchange and as a notification/badge on the iOS app.  If you read a comment on the website and cause the notification to be removed from the toolbar, the badge also gets removed from the iOS app.  However, when a comment that has previously caused a notification/badge to appear on iOS gets deleted, the badge remains on the iOS app while the notification gets removed from the website toolbar.  Could the badge also be removed from the iOS app in this situation? Find $\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{a^n}{n!}$ PHP MySQLi doesn't recognize login info invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char’ I'd never heard of anycast until a few seconds ago when I read "".  The wikipedia "" article on it is quite formal and doesn't really evoke a mental picture of how it would be used.  Can someone explain in a few informal sentences what "anycast" is, how you configure it (just in a general sense), and what its benefits are (what does it make easier)? Setting up virtual host How do I reinstall Unity? I tested out Unity 5, and of course, it broke things, so I tried downgrading by    sudo apt-get install ppa-purge sudo ppa-purge ppa:unity-team/staging   It removed Unity completely.    apt-get install unity   seemed to work, but the login screen now offers only Gnome.  How do I get back to Unity 4? I use tikz (and tikzpicture) a fair bit, but files that used to compile fine before the latest slew of updates to pgf, and pstricks, no longer seem to do so (at least, on my MikTeX installation).

I have purchased a game on Steam and can not find out the details of the file or purchase. How does one find their CD Key from a game purchased in Steam? Hydraulic Disk brake piston not fully retracting My front disk brake's piston doesn't fully retract.  While I can ride the bike, the brake is slightly rubbing.  (IE, if I just spin the wheel with my hand, it'll go around about one and a half times and then stop.) It's definitely slowing me down.   If this fixable?  The advice I got was that it's not worth the trouble and to buy a replacement set.  The current brakes are Avid Juicy 7s that are about 7 years old Possible to turn on Airplane mode with WiFi on only? I know the definition of Airplane mode is all communications and radio signals are blocked. But is it possible to turn off the "calling/receiving" part of the phone so your phone is not connecting to a cell tower and only allow Wifi? I've looked into a couple of apps in Google Play but they're either not working or out of date with newer versions of Android.   I know there is strong opinions on both sides of the issue but I'm worried about radiation from my phone since i use it a lot in bed and I hold the phone close to my head and face. At night I'm not worried about receiving calls, so I just want to turn off the phone part and  use WiFi. Is there a way? Or am i just crazy and paranoid? Everybody has to obey their own parents I am new here and I don't really know how to post, so please forgive my mistakes. My question is this: Is a sentence like "everybody has to obey their own parents" nowadays completely acceptable under a grammatical point of view or it is still preferable, in written form, to use "everybody has to obey his/her own parents"?
