My understanding of who has diamonds:   All moderators have diamonds on the sites they moderate and their respective meta Stack Exchange employees have diamonds      Right now, there are a lot of new diamond moderators across the network, with more being added in the near future.  Stack Exchange has also been doing a lot of hiring lately, which means there are a lot of newish ex officio diamond moderators as well.    I think it would be helpful if there was a way to differentiate between moderators and employees across the SE sites.   A couple of examples of where it would have been helpful:   On betas, right after opening: users see people with diamonds and wonder where these moderators came from—it would be clearer if they were easily identified as employees. On MSO, when (for instance) someone responds to a feature request. It's useful to know if that response is from, say, the programmer who's currently working on that exact code versus a volunteer mod who has an opinion that something is/isn't/will never happen.     Suggested solution: Give employees a different symbol.     Possiblilities:      ♢   ❖   ◇   ◆   ▰   ∆   ∇   ⍚   ␎   ◈   ♠   ♣   ♥        Suggested but unusable:      ⧗   ⧱   ⸭   ⟐   ⧓   ⧗   ⧫   ⧱   ⧎   ⎆   ⎏   ⎐   ⎑   ⎒   ⬙   ⬘   ⬗   ⬖       Misc thoughts:   The super-coolest kids on the block would be those with both symbols. Someone would need to verify that there are no users on any site whose user name ends with the new symbol (and keep people from changing their user name to have it). While these symbols are all valid Unicode characters, some of them might not be visible on all browsers (IE, I'm looking at you…). Those that aren't visible on all supported browsers should be ruled out.
Given that not all employees have a diamond:     All Stack Overflow employees aren't given a moderator diamond; the Community team has tightened up internal policies regarding who gets one and who doesn't. [...] —      can we have some visual indication that they are an employee?  This was  back in 2011, but declined. However, the situation appears to have changed now with fewer employees being given a diamond.  That way when they post on a meta site we know that it's somewhat "official".  Failing that please ensure that everyone includes the fact they're an employee in their profile given that  to add employee to their profile pages was also declined.
What happens when a photon hits a beamsplitter? Yesterday I read that we can affect the path and the 'form' (particle or wave) of a photon after the fact ().  Part of what is puzzling me is the beam-splitter. Are the individual photons actually being split into two new photons of lesser energy?  This  implies that you cannot split a photon but it seems that beam splitters do exactly that. I am looking for an application which can do the following:   Resize one or more images Compress images Rotate and flip images Rename multiple images using a progressive number or a prefix/suffix Convert an entire PDF file to a bunch images Extract an image from a Windows .ico file Convert images to DPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PhotoCD, PNG, Postscript, SVG, TIFF, and other formats   I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18.

I tried the command from What is the difference between "I have a doubt with ...." & "I suspect there is a problem"? When should I make my players actually roll for stuff? I've tried to focus my group heavily on Role Playing, perhaps too well given some of my recent problems, which are Orthagonal, and linked mostly to provide historical context.        A lot of the answers to these questions revolve around "have off the rail's multiple angles" and "don't make people roll for information they must have". That seems well understood to me at this juncture, in fact I have been doing just that, and I think it's causing some other problems.  I have only rarely made people roll for anything (combat aside) anymore, unless it's absolutely non critical. I try to get the players to Role Play their investigations and give them information when they look in the right places, and their are multiple right places.  This results in skills, especially social/mental, being completely inessential, and players not gaining important information because they aren't poking around the right area at all, or asking people who aren't interested in talking to them because they're currently a bunch of random Joe's.  The players aren't stuck at this time, I'm just trying to get better and not have functionally dead scenes, that don't rely on the players to play "what is the GM thinking" nor do I want to just give them every answer.  The reality is, I'm not sure when to make them roll to find things out. what criteria? or other advice, can I use to decide that the players are better off making a Roll to move forward than to purely use Role Playing?  update This question focuses on the Social and to a lesser degree Mental aspects, as it's usually pretty easy to tell when a Physical Roll is needed, even out of combat. It's harder to tell when to make people roll for things they can talk their way through.  I'm playing World of Darkness 2nd Edition, but answers not specific to that are welcome. Google map API does not plot on different continents Sorry for asking such a basic question - but is there an actual term for the numbers that appear before and after the decimal point?

Scale Image Using PHP and Maintaining Aspect Ratio I am not sure if  works. Can someone please help me? My phone is new and in its warranty period so I can't root it yet.

One can use \bar to put a bar over a letter in math mode, but often the bar isn't wide enough. An alternative is \overline, but this isn't an accent, so it doesn't take into account the skew of the letter. In the following example, the bar extends too far to the left:    Now the mathabx package offers a \widebar accent, but this has several drawbacks:   mathabx changes a lot of other things, The \widebar sits slightly higher than \bar and \overline, In previewers (checked with kpdf and acroread), the \widebar appears fuzzy, which \bar and \overline don't.   So my question is: How can I put a wide bar over a letter in math mode without the above drawbacks?
