I'm setting up a new server and want to support UTF-8 fully in my web application. I have tried this in the past on existing servers and always seem to end up having to fall back to ISO-8859-1.  Where exactly do I need to set the encoding/charsets? I'm aware that I need to configure Apache, MySQL, and PHP to do this — is there some standard checklist I can follow, or perhaps troubleshoot where the mismatches occur?  This is for a new Linux server, running MySQL 5, PHP, 5 and Apache 2.

Currently, if want to write a chemical symbol, for example, ${}^{239}Np$, this is what I type in: {}^{239}Np. The result:    But it looks bad, I feel as if the "N" and "p" should be closer, or a different font should have been used.  How could I make better looking chemical symbols?

There is this  ("R5800 Solar Death Ray") where teenager built a 5000 mirror device which concetrates the solar rays which is showing the potency of the mosaic method of concentrating sunlight using elliptical dish. It can fire the wood, boil the water in seconds, melt an aluminum, glass or even burn the whole in concrere or rock.  What is the approximate maximum temperature (could be a range) is achieved by this mirror device in its focus point on sunny day?       The R5800 solar concentrator, replaced by the new R23k, is made from   an ordinary fiberglass satellite dish. It is covered in about 5800   3/8" (~1cm) mirror tiles. When properly aligned, it can generate a   spot the size of a dime with an intensity of 5000 times normal   daylight. This intensity of light is more than enough to melt steel,   vaporize aluminum, boil concrete, turn dirt into lava, and obliterate   any organic material in an instant. It stands at 5'9" and is 42"   across.   Technical details &amp; calculations:     Calculations: Area of dish aperture (elliptical)= (pi x 102cm x   73cm)/4 = 5848 sq cm       Area of focal point (circular)= pi(0.6cm)^2 = 1.14 sq cm      Dish Type= 0.7m x 1m offset focus elliptical.      Concentration Power= 5000x      Output Power Estimate = 560 watts The help pages in R assume I know what those numbers mean, but I don't. I'm trying to really intuitively understand every number here. I will just post the output and comment on what I found out. There might (will) be mistakes, as I'll just write what I assume. Mainly I'd like to know what the t-value in the coefficients mean, and why they print the residual standard error.   Call: lm(formula = iris$Sepal.Width ~ iris$Petal.Width)  Residuals:      Min       1Q   Median       3Q      Max  -1.09907 -0.23626 -0.01064  0.23345  1.17532    This is a 5-point-summary of the residuals (their mean is always 0, right?). The numbers can be used (I'm guessing here) to quickly see if there are any big outliers. Also you can already see it here if the residuals are far from normally distributed (they should be normally distributed).  Coefficients:                  Estimate Std.

Also, the standard error is $\sigma_{\beta_i}$. I'd like to know how this is calculated.  I have no idea where the t-value and the corresponding p-value come from. I know $\hat{\beta}$ should be normal distributed, but how is the t-value calculated?  Residual standard error: 0.407 on 148 degrees of freedom   $\sqrt{ \frac{1}{n-p} \epsilon^T\epsilon }$, I guess. But why do we calculate that, and what does it tell us?  Multiple R-squared: 0.134,  Adjusted R-squared: 0.1282    $ R^2 = \frac{s_\hat{y}^2}{s_y^2} $, which is $ \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (\hat{y_i}-\bar{y})^2}{\sum_{i=1}^n (y_i-\bar{y})^2} $. The ratio is close to 1 if the points lie on a straight line, and 0 if they are random.  What is the adjusted R-squared?  F-statistic: 22.91 on 1 and 148 DF,  p-value: 4.073e-06    F and p for the whole model, not only for single $\beta_i$s as previous. The F value is $ \frac{s^2_{\hat{y}}}{\sum\epsilon_i} $. The bigger it grows, the more unlikely it is that the $\beta$'s do not have any effect at all. Currently I am using Outlook 2010, and sometimes customers claim that they will received an attachment in Windows.dat format.  I have searched online for possible solutions, but mostly the suggestion is to change the sending format to plain text. However, by using plain text format, there is some limitation.  So I just wonder, besides the plain text format, is there a ways to solve the winmail.dat issue?  Besides, does plain text format really 100% avoid the issue? Are Fidelius charms stackable? Under what circumstances will a passive HDMI-to-VGA adapter work? I have bought a no-brand, passive HDMI Male to VGA Female adapter, to link up a PC with a more dated monitor. It did not work.  After doing some reading, I have learned that buying such an adapter is often discouraged because in many cases it will not convert the signal from Digital to Analog, or the Motherboard/CPU on a specific computer might not be compatible with that particular adapter.   So my question is: seeing how there are so many of these passive adapters on the market, are there circumstances under which they actually do suffice to connect an HDMI output to a VGA input? Or are they generally just a rip-off?  Example of the kind of adapter I bought: How close would you have to be to the merger of two black holes, for the effects of gravitational waves to be detected without instruments? With the new  and the upcoming release of  film, JK Rowling has been awesome and given us new writing on the .  In the introduction it is stated that there are eleven established/registered schools. There are writings for six of them. I don't think we need a new writing for Hogwarts... so that means seven have been located and defined.   Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - Great Britain  - France  - Northern Europe (possibly Estonia, Latvia, or Belarus)  - Japan  - Africa (possibly Congo/DRC)  - Brazil  - United States   Do we know anything of possible location or names of the other four schools? I know Koldovstoretz was mentioned as school in Russia, but is that still canon?

How to change Power button shutdown action to run a script under systemd If I build a package from source how can I uninstall or remove completely? I used source code to build one package such as below:  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir=/usr/lib --with-package-name="Myplugin" --with-package-origin="http://www.ubuntu.org/" --enable-gtk-doc --disable-static make make install   But unfortunately, i discovered that its the latest version, and has lot of bugs, so i need to remove it/uninstall it. But how can i do so? I tried make clean; make uninstall but still i see it exist:  # pkg-config --list-all | grep Myplugin myplugin-.... $ ls /usr/lib/myplugin/libXYZ.so exist....   How do you remove this now? Is Ubuntu compatible with my hardware? I read an essay about prime numbers. In it the author suggests that a natural first question to ask is,      What is the probability of a random natural number being prime?   but proceeds to dismiss it as "not making sense". I wonder what's wrong with the question. Is its meaninglessness related to the fact that there is an infinite number of naturals? Show that both mixed partial derivatives exist at the origin but are not equal $$f(x,y) = \begin{cases} \displaystyle \frac{xy(x^2-y^2)}{x^2+y^2} &amp; \text{if } (x,y) \neq (0,0), \\ 0 &amp; \text{if } (x,y) = (0,0). \end{cases}$$ I tried finding both mixed partial derivatives but they ended up being the same for that function. I must be failing to take into account something dealing with the fact that it is piece-wise. I still need to show the mixed partial derivatives exist. How can I do all of this?
