I'd like to identify this anime TV show or movie.  I saw it about 6 years ago, late night, on Cartoon Network/Adult Swim/Toonami/Boomerang, in English language.  At the beginning of the show there was these monsters that were attacking a village or a town and then this girl gave him a gem that was on her forehead. The gem bonded to him and then he fled away from the destruction. There was about 5 to 8 people that had these "gems" and they were teaching him how to use and how to transform into these bio monsters.   There were different elements: one guy had the water element. But the kid had a special type of "gem" that nobody knew what his powers or limit was. The crystal or gem was blue.
Typical Japanese style anime art, it was a series.   It has been around for more than 6 years. I think it mixed fantasy and sci-fi. It was certainly not Isekai and it has no magic, it feels more like revered science. A boy gets a gem embedded into his arm after a terrorist attack and transforms into a white and orange humanoid being. There are more people able to transform into these beings. There is also a red flying ship with a dark yellow underbelly that throws boxes with parachutes. There is also this top-secret laboratory where the scientists study how to battle against the beings. There are some other flying ships of varying colors. If I remember correctly, the protagonist gets amnesia near the end of the plot.
Why do different wavelength get impeded more or less when in different materials? Moving with the same speed, but a longer physical distance would imply that the fields oscillate less times in the material, but I don't know why a difference in the number of oscillations would impede the wave- I don't even know why things slow down in general. Why some electromagnetic wave would slow down just because it's entering other electromagnetic fields... It would seem to me that the only factor would be time taken to physically move some electron or something in the direction of the fields... But that seems to simple of an explanation to me. I am faced with the following problem: Servers get saturated since current load balancing strategy is based on client IP. Some corporate clients access our servers from behind large proxies so all clients appear with same IP to our load balancer. I think we are using some hardware load balancing device (can investigate further if necessary). We need to maintain session affinity (site is constructed in ASP), so all requests with same IP get routed to the same node.  Since all the communication goes over the HTTPS, no request data (like session Id) is available to balancer as a client discriminator. Is there a way to use some other data besides the IP to distinguish between clients and route the clients even when coming from same IP to different nodes?  Note: I need to maintain the traffic between the balancer and nodes safe (encrypted). I need your help with references. I have 1 main reference section, and I want to include a second list of references as an appendix. For the main reference I use:  \newpage  \bibliographystyle{plainnat}  \bibliography{library}   The problem is that I don't know how to include the second list using a different bib file, and then calling the function \nocite{*} to show every sources inside the file.   I have the appendix part workout. I need your help to design the function to call the second bibliography, and that does't interfere with the main reference:   \newpage  \appendix  \section{Other Sources} \label{app:ReferencesB}   In addition, I will prefer that the word References is not shown after Other Sources.  Thank you so much!! Why did Obi-Wan allow Leia to get adopted by such a high profile figure? I know that Leia is a princess because she was adopted by the Queen of Alderaan, but why would Obi-Wan allow this? Wasn't the original plan of Obi-Wan and Yoda to hide the Skywalkers from Palpatine? Luke was placed into a very low-profile position, being the child of two farmers on a backwater planet. However, Leia occupies a very important political position.  Is there any reason why Obi-Wan would do this if he was trying to hide her? I am working on the following problem asked in an examination: "What is the maximum number of cylindrical pencils of 0.5 cm diameter that can be stood in a square shaped stand of 5cm × 5cm inner cross section? 1. 99    2. 121   3. 100    4. 105." A simple calculation yielded me the answer 100.  But the answer in the key is 105. I don't how such an answer is possible. Any hint please.....Thanks in advance! Can't install jdk on Fedora with yum nor with rpm Vertex count appears incorrect after removing doubles I've only just started studying the Blender Python API. I'm writing a script (see below) to automate something I've done by hand : joining two adjacent cubes and cleaning up the resulting mesh.   After joining and removing doubles, I expect to have 12 vertices instead of 16 in the resulting object. In the Info header, this seems to be the case, but when I print to the windows terminal I still see 16. Also I do see the output from remove_double(), here's a screenshot :    So what's wrong here ? What is the right way to access an object's mesh, and count its vertices ?  Joao  import bpy  # Create two adjacent cubes and join them bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add(location=(1,0,0)) ob = bpy.context.object bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add(location=(3,0,0)) ob.select = True bpy.ops.object.join()  # Expect 16 vertices, 24 edges, 12 faces result = bpy.context.object print(str(len(result.data.vertices)))  # Go to edit mode, remove double vertices bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode = 'EDIT') bpy.ops.mesh.remove_doubles()  # Expect 12 vertices, 20 edges, 11 faces result = bpy.context.object print(str(len(result.data.vertices))) How to avoid the wrinkle at the poles of the UV sphere? When I create a UV sphere and add the subdivision surface modifier, the following wrinkle appears.    How can I avoid it?  I've read the article  but there seems to be no clear solution.  UPDATE 1  I've used the word 'apply' in the first sentence of the initial version of this question. It's misleading since I want to preserve the modifier without 'applying' it. Rather, what I meant is 'adding' the modifier.  UPDATE 2  I followed josh sanfelici's solution, but still there is an artifact at the pole.  Here is the screen: (A rendered view with a sun lamp)    Maybe it's the limitation of the general-purpose subdivision modifier.  BTW, when the cast modifier is added after the subdivision modifier, the sphere becomes perfect (even for my original wrinkled sphere).  But since I want to edit the resulting sphere (for example, scaling X, Y, etc) while modifier is added but not applied, it's not usable. I have two Ubuntu Software Centers, one can be opened, another one can't Negative R squared contradicts ssa/sst? I understand from this question -    that the R squared value of a linear regression model can be negative if the intercept is constrained. And this makes sense if you define R squared as -   $$R^2 = 1-\frac{SSE}{SST}$$  One says $SSE&gt;SST$. But then,  $$SST = SSA + SSE $$ Total Sum of squares  = Sum of squared errors + Sum of squared residual. And with this we get -  $$R^2 = \frac{SSA}{SST}$$ And now it is hard to imagine how $R^2$ can be negative. Aren't SSA and SST >0 always? A Polygon is inscribed in a circle $\Gamma$ A regular polygon P is inscribed in a circle $\Gamma$. Let A, B, and C, be three consecutive vertices on the polygon P, and let M be a point on the arc AC of $\Gamma$ that does not contain B. Prove that  $MA\cdot MC=MB^2-AB^2$  I inscribed the polygon P in the unit circle and let B=1. Past this, I'm not really sure how to proceed. It might be helpful to have M at 1 as well but given that the polygon would have the n-th roots of unity in it B seemed like a good choice. What would be a good way to proceed from here? I added a user to a group, but group permissions on files still have no effect I changed permissions of a file (chmod g+w testfile) and running ls -l testfile gives:  -rwxrwxr-x 1 user1 user1 0 2011-01-24 20:36 testfile   I then added a user to that group ("/etc/group" has user1:x:1000:user2 line), but am failing to edit that file as user2. Why is this so? How can I customize the Ubuntu installer? Meaning of the chemical potential for a boson gas My lecturer told me that $\mu$, the , is zero or negative, and in the following example, mathematically it acts as a normalization constant. But is there any physical insight about why boson gas can be zero or negative? I think it is due to the fact the photon gas can pop up from nowhere (i.e. vacuum fluctuation). $$ f_{BE}(\varepsilon)=\dfrac{1}{e^{(\varepsilon-\mu)/(k_B T)}-1}$$ Is Checksum to file back decoding possible? So, I was having this weird thought. If the checksums(MD5 or SHA...) are unique to any file and are modified if any part of the file is edited, why cant the checksums be decoded back to get the original file? That is if I want to send a large(say 700MB) video, instead I could send just the hash and the file be decoded locally in my friend's computer. I know the thought is stupid, but is it possible by any chance? Or am I missing some thing here? And forgive me if I'm wrong, I ain't a professional. jQuery: live() vs delegate() Which Distribution Does the Data Point Belong to? I have two distributions which are derived from 2 separate sets of data. These distributions are not normal, and it is not clear at this point if they belong to any family of known pdfs (they are not symmetric either). Given a data point, I need to decide which distribution it is most likely to belong to. If these were normal distributions, I could do usual parametric tests and go from there, but in this case I am not sure how to proceed. I searched around a bit, but I couldn't find anything, probably because I am not using the right keywords. Any help is much appreciated.  Edit to clarify: I should have mentioned that it was univariate. I might as well explain the actual problem here as well. We have time-spent data for users on websites. We also have information on whether a user liked or disliked some of those sites (about 4% of all the sites). So we know the distribution of time spent for like and dislike. An obvious question, then, is for a random user who spent x amount of time, are they more likely to have liked the page or dislike the page. Our time spent information is based on seconds, so the distributions are really discreet, but in real life, they are continuous. I would like to make a debian system where you can only open one GUI program at boot, no other graphical interface, no minimize, or any X apart from that program, is there a way to do it on debian if possible, or any other custom distro? I just want to boot open the program and allow the user to only see and use that program. How do I send an HTTP request in C# without using System.Net classes? How can I dynamically invoke a class method in PHP? The class method is not static. It appears that   call_user_func(...)   only works with static functions?  Thanks.
