I know that an infinite set can be partitioned into 2 infinite subsets.
Can one partition an infinite set into finitely many infinite subsets?
share|improve this question
Are you asking that given an infinite set, can that set be partitioned into $n$ infinite sets for all $n$? – ferson2020 Jan 30 '13 at 16:26
In fact, you can also partition it into infinitely many infinite sets. For example, with the set $\mathbb N$, you can let $A_n=\{k\in\mathbb N\mid k=2^nm\text{ with }m\text{ odd}\}$ for $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ – Hagen von Eitzen Jan 30 '13 at 16:30
Let $n$ be given. Partition the integers into those that are multiples of $n$, those that leave a remainder of 1 when divided by $n$, those that leave a remainder of 2 when divided by $n$,... and those that leave a remainder of $n-1$ when divided by $n$. – MJD Jan 30 '13 at 17:20

Well, if you can do it with 2, you can keep partitioning one of them.

Ok, thanks Andreas. – student Jan 30 '13 at 16:26
Of course. We do it by induction.
Theorem: If $A$ is an infinite set and $n>0$ is a natural number then we can write $A$ as a disjoint union of $n$ infinite sets.
Proof. For $n=1$ this is obvious, so we actually start with $n=2$.
For $n=2$ we can do it because every infinite set can be split into two infinite sets.
Suppose that we can split $A$ into $n$ parts, $A_1,\ldots, A_n$. Each is infinite, split $A_n$ into $B$ and $C$, and so the partition $A_1,\ldots,A_{n-1},B,C$ is a partition of $A$ into $n+1$ parts. $\square$

You should override Object.Equals() and also implement the
IEquatable interface.
By default, Equals() on a reference type checks to see if the objects refer to the same
location in memory. This may be acceptable in some circumstances, but often, you'll
want to provide your own behavior. With value types, the default behavior is to reflect
over each field and do a bit-by-bit comparison. This can have a very negative impact
on performance, and in nearly every case you should provide your own implementation
of Equals().
struct Vertex3d : IFormattable, IEquatable
public override bool Equals(object obj)
if (obj == null)
return false;
if (obj.GetType()!= this.GetType())
return false;
return Equals((Vertex3d)obj);
public bool Equals(Vertex3d other)
/* If Vertex3d were a reference type you would also need:
* if ((object)other == null)
* return false;
* if (!base.Equals(other))
* return false;
return this._x == other._x
&& this._y == other._y
&& this._z == other._z;
Pay special attention to the note in Equals(Vertex3d other). If Vertex3d
was a reference type and other was null, the type-safe version of the function would
be called, not the Object version. You also need to call all the base classes in the
hierarchy so they have an opportunity to check their own fields.
There's nothing stopping you from also implementing IEquatable (or any
other type) on your type—you can define it however you want. Use with caution,
however, because this may confuse people who have to use your code.


General Information
History of The Court
Monterey County Courthouse Completed 1878
The military and social capital of Alta California during Spanish and Mexican rule, the town of Monterey naturally became the county seat when the 27 original counties were formed in, 1850. But when it was learned that the railroad was to go through the valley and not along the coast, the government center was moved to Salinas. After the house used as a courthouse burned, this much larger brick Victorian building was commissioned. The courthouse remained in use while the current one was being constructed around it, and then was demolished. Today a courtyard, lily pond, and commemorative sculpture occupy the site.

Troubleshooting Hive replication using REPL
You need to know how to recover from the FAILED_ADMIN state that stops the replication process.
Problem: A non-recoverable error appears for a replication job and the status says FAILED_ADMIN. How do you recover a schedule from the FAILED_ADMIN state?
Solution: Perform the following steps to recover a replication schedule from this state:
- Navigate to the error log path.
- Search for the file _non_recoverable.
- Open the file, and look for information about an error that caused the replication failed.
- Fix the error.
- Delete the _non_recoverable file.
The_non_recoverable file from the last replication command execution must be deleted; otherwise your replication attempt will malfunction.
Problem: Notification events are missing in the metastore.
Solution: If notification events are not present in the metastore during replication, the replication might be in a FAILED_ADMIN status. When this occurs, notifications are deleted in the metastore. In this case, the workaround is to start a fresh bootstrap phase of replication, as follows:
- Drop the target database using beeline.
- Remove the dump directory on HDFS for the required policy. The path of _non_recoverable
error file path has the dump directory path.
The replication continues where it stopped.

Is there a faster solution?

In the early days of the NSDAP, Julius Schreck, the leader of the Stabswache (Adolf Hitler's bodyguard unit), resurrected the use of the Totenkopf as the unit's insignia. This unit grew into the Schutzstaffel (SS), which continued to use the Totenkopf as insignia throughout its history. According to a writing by Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler the Totenkopf had the following meaning:
The Skull is the reminder that you shall always be willing to put your self at stake for the life of the whole community.
The Totenkopf was also used as the unit insignia of the Panzer forces of the German Heer (Army), and also by the Panzer units of the Luftwaffe, including those of the elite Fallschirm-Panzer Division 1 Hermann Göring.
Both the 3rd SS Panzer Division of the Waffen-SS, and the World War II era Luftwaffe's 54th Bomber Wing Kampfgeschwader 54 were given the unit name "Totenkopf", and used a strikingly similar-looking graphic skull-crossbones insignia as the SS units of the same name. The 3rd SS Panzer Division also had skull patches on their uniform collars instead of the SS sieg rune.

Objective: At present geriatrics has not been fully established as a speciality in India and Rajasthan. The problems associated with the ageing of the population are that of absence of facilities of medical treatment and providing economic and social support. Hence, information on morbidity profile of the population is essential for planning its health care facilities. Therefore, the present study was undertaken on the morbidity pattern among geriatric population in the field practice area of RHTC, Achrol. Material and method: The present study is a community based cross-sectional study. Study population included all the elderly persons of 60 years and above age group, residing in the field practice area of RHTC Achrol. Result: This study showed that almost half of the elderly i.e. 47.7% had normal gait & stability and out of them majority i.e. 85.3% belonged to 60 to 64 years of age group, while the proportion of elderly having normal but slow and limited physical activity was found to increase significantly (p<0.05) with age i.e. from 14.8% & 0.0% respectively in age group 60 to 64 years to 42.8% and 57.1% respectively in >80 age group. Conclusion: It was found that higher proportion of females i.e. 53.6% than males i.e. 51.4% had gait disturbances (p>0.05).

I am working on the statement " A graph $G$ is a $nKn$ (collection of $n$ number of complete graph each of order $n$) graph if and only if $\bar{G}$ is $α(G) = α(\bar{G}) = n$ and $(p-n)$-regular, where $p$ is the order of $G$ and $α(G)$ is the independence number of $G$ with $n\geqslant 1$."

I'm not sure I'm understanding the question properly. Can you clarify why the graph $G$ consisting of a 3-cycle and a 4-cycle would not be a counterexample? It would seem to satisfy $n=3$, $p=7$, but it is obviously not a $3K_3$. – Will Orrick May 10 '12 at 16:48

1 Answer 1
(Extended compilation of comments.)
While it is true that the disjoint union of $n$ copies of $K_n$ has the properties
 1. $\alpha(G)=\alpha(\overline G)=n$ (where $\alpha$ is the independence number)
 2. $\overline{G}$ is $p-n$ regular (where $p$ is the number of vertices of $G$)
the converse is not true. not every graph with properties 1 and 2. Will Orrick gave the following counterexample in comments: let $G$ be the disjoint union of two cycles $C_3 $ and $C_4$; then $\alpha(G)=\alpha(\overline G)=3$ and $\overline{G}$ is $4$-regular where $4=7-3$.
Brian M. Scott then observed that if $\alpha(\overline G)=n$ is strengthened to
(*) every maximal independent set in $\overline G$ has cardinality $n$
then the conclusion $G=nK_n$ follows. Indeed, (*) says that every maximal clique of $G$ has cardinality $n$. Therefore, every vertex is contained in a copy of $K_n$. Since $G$ is $n$-regular (by virtue of 2), it is a disjoint union of some copies of $K_n$. The condition $\alpha(G)=n$ places the number of the copies of $K_n$ at $n$.

This means text logs, such as those from Log4net.
Not database redo/undo/transaction files
PCI says that Credit card numbers (PAN) should be sent and stored as encrypted in the database, which means only the encrypted value will appear in any database log file (whether an error log or the actual redo/undo/transaction log file). See Page 8 and item 3.4 of your document for this.

Portis Gold Mine
The Portis Gold Mine, located in the northeastern corner of Franklin County, was the first mine in the Eastern Carolina Belt (composed of Warren, Halifax, Franklin, and Nash Counties) and operated intermittently from about 1835 to 1936. The Portis gold deposit was in the rocks of the Spring Hope Formation in the eastern slate belt. The primary mining method has been identified as "hydraulicking" 15 to 30 feet of surface material, but recovery was hampered by the region's sticky clay. The total amount of gold mined is unknown. In 1884 the estimate was more than $1 million, and in 1972 one geologist projected that up to $7 million worth of gold was mined in that area.
By the end of the nineteenth century, gold in the Portis mine was difficult to find and there were no profits to be had. The final attempts to extract gold were by the Norlina Mining Company, which brought in heavy mining equipment and constructed an assay lab, a main building for the crushing equipment, a dormitory, a superintendent's house, a blacksmith and machine shop, and a six-million-gallon reservoir for the water required by the gold recovery process. The cost of the mining operation exceeded by one-third the value of the gold recovered, and the mine was closed in 1936.

Does the "simulation temperature" setting in MODE do anything?
I tried to change the "simulation temperature" in the general tab of FDE or varFDTD (default value is 300K). I was expecting Neff of a silicon WG to change due to silicon's thermo-opto effect. However, the simulation results do not appear to change al all with different temperature values. Is this how it should be?
Dear _USER_.xie
The value for simulation temperature will be important if you use a perturbed index material. To add such a material, click on Add and then select index perturbation in Material Database:
In the simulation file attached, I have two silicon rectangles. These two rectangles have different materials, and index for rectangle 1 is a function of temperature. By setting different values for simulation temperature you can study how the index varies:
As you can see in the figure above, only rectangle 1 (the top rectangle) is affected by simulation temperature.
I hope this answered your question.

Articles (Gulf Inside) Cheque bounce in UAE is a criminal offense and cheque writer can face a court trial and jail term also can face a travel ban with a bench warrant, drawer of bounced check unable to leave UAE, and cannot enter if already left until settlements.
To know more about the settlement of the bounced Cheque case and how to the removal of the travel ban, you need to follow the below guide.
New Law Cheque Bounce:
According to the UAE Federal Law No-3 of 1987 promulgating the legal code, both criminal, also as civil proceedings, are often initiated against the perpetrator of bounced cheque writer.
What is Cheque Bounce?
A cheque bounce or bounced check may be a cheque presented by the payee and rejected by the drawer bank under below circumstances:
 1. Insufficient funds in the drawer account.
 2. Changed signature on a cheque or refusing it from being paid.
 3. The drawer's checking account was closed before the cheque is presented for payment.
1: The Police Complaint:
To file a complaint about a bounced cheque, the bearer of the cheque should formally open a case with the police station of the respective emirate against the drawer. For registering complaints on the bounced cheque in Dubai, you'll use the Dubai Police app.
After receiving the complaint, the police will contact the issuer of the cheque to notify him/her of the same and request his urgent presence. At the police headquarters, the drawer is allowed to settle the difficulty through paying the complete amount of the bounced cheque. If he/she paid, no further legal proceedings are going to be taken.
If the issuer of the bad cheque doesn't have money to pay, he/she has the proper to request a while to settle the difficulty. Upon such a request, the issuer could also be granted an inexpensive period secured by the deposit of his passport at the police headquarters. However, it highly depends on the cheque amount as in many cases such a guarantee of depositing the passport is rejected by cops if the quantity drawn on the cheque is more than 1 million dirhams or higher.
Point to be noted that cheque bounced may be a criminal offense within the UAE, upon filing the complaint at the police headquarters, a travel ban and bench warrant on the drawer will be issued automatically. Hence, the issuer of the cheque is going to be banned from leaving the country and arrested if he/she tries to flee, or should be detained on arrival in UAE from outside.
Such a travel ban in UAE is often removed only upon settlement of the cheque bounce case, or after serving a sentence.
2: The Public Prosecution:
In case the opponents failed to resolve the cheque bounce case at the police station, the police then transfer the complaint to the public prosecutor in the court.
Based on the evidence presented within the court, the choice might be a bail either by paying the worth of the bounced cheque or by depositing the passport of the defaulter or another guarantor. In case bail was denied, the public prosecutor may order the detention of the drawer until the court hears and decides on the case.
3: The Criminal Court:
The role of the court in UAE is to dive deeper into that bounce check case, opponents' arguments, and available evidence. The court then proceeds to look at whether the crime elements are satisfied or not. The crime elements are the fabric element and therefore the mental element.
Once both of the crime elements are satisfied, and by the authority vested in it within Article 401 of the UAE legal code, the court may decide the sanction of the perpetrator.
This can be confined to a fine assessed solely by the court, supported the conclusion reached and therefore the amount claimed and typically ranging between AED 1,000 and AED 30,000+. The court can also decide the sanction of the perpetrator to be serving a jail term of between 1 year and three years.
4: Civil Court Proceedings:
The criminal court and the civil court function separately but may solve both civil cases and criminal cases. Hence, the sentence issued by the court comes only as a sanction for the act of issuing a bounced cheques with insufficient funds in account or withdrawal all or part of the funds after giving the cheque.
The claimant may present his case to the civil court also to say his right to the disputed amount.
After reaching a conclusion supported the evidence and facts presented by the opponents, the civil court can then demand the issuer of the bounced cheque to pay a sum equal either to the worth of the cheque or its outstanding balance. In case the perpetrator fails again to pay the said amount, his assets could also be attached, and he could also be subjected to a different jail term for failing to comply with the civil court orders.

If there are not any pending cases against the bounced cheque writer, once the jail term is completed, he's allowed to gather his impounded passport and may also leave the country.
Writing a Cheque:
If the issuer of a cheque realized that he did a mistake by writing a cheque and there have been sufficient funds, it is often remedied at any stage of the legal proceedings by providing account statements of cheque submission date.
How to Remove Travel Ban:
Travel ban against Bounce cheque can only be removed through settlement or completing the jail term, the important point for the drawer is that he/she shall confirm to retrieve the bad cheque and obtain a clearance paper from his debtor or court upon payment of the disputed amount or completing the jail term.
Henceforth, no further legal proceedings will be initiated, and the UAE travel ban and an arrest warrant will be removed automatically.
Recent Developments in cheque bounce case:
To mitigate the non-payment of bounced cheques, the UAE government has recently introduced new regulations to punish such crimes with fines rather than jail terms. This initiative allows the issuer of the bounced cheque to urge employment opportunities or other such alternatives to be ready to repay his debt rather than getting to jail, subject to the orders of the public prosecutor.
Cheque Bounce Penalty:
As per the order, cases of cheque bounce the amount not exceeding AED 200,000 shall be punished with the following fines:
If the quantity is a smaller amount than AED 50,000 the cheque bounce penalty is going to be AED 2,000.
If the quantity is between AED 50,000 to 100,000 the fine is going to be AED 5,000.
If the amount written in the bounced cheque is from AED 100,000 to 200,000+, the cheque bounce penalty will be AED 10,000+.
Conclusion and extra care:
Cheque bounce in UAE can be associated with numerous reasons including illegal termination by the company, bankruptcy, absconding of the cheque writer, etc. In practice, when the bearer of the bounced cheque filed a complaint with the police, the most viable way to resolve the issue for both parties is to settle it at the police station amicably.
It is advisable that don't allow anyone to use your checkbook, as holders of checkbooks can get in trouble for a cheque bounce in UAE even without signing it. The practical experience shows that there are cases where an individual is often subject to legal liability towards a cheque bounce or bounced check case even it's not signed by him.

Create Deep Links to App Content
When a clicked link or programmatic request invokes a web URI intent, the Android system tries each of the following actions, in sequential order, until the request succeeds:
 1. Open the user's preferred app that can handle the URI, if one is designated.
 2. Open the only available app that can handle the URI.
 3. Allow the user to select an app from a dialog.
Follow the steps below to create and test links to your content. You can also use the App Links Assistant in Android Studio to add Android App Links.
Add intent filters for incoming links
To create a link to your app content, add an intent filter that contains these elements and attribute values in your manifest:
Add one or more tags, each of which represents a URI format that resolves to the activity. At minimum, the tag must include the android:scheme attribute.
You can add more attributes to further refine the type of URI that the activity accepts. For example, you might have multiple activities that accept similar URIs, but which differ simply based on the path name. In this case, use the android:path attribute or its pathPattern or pathPrefix variants to differentiate which activity the system should open for different URI paths.
Include the BROWSABLE category. It is required in order for the intent filter to be accessible from a web browser. Without it, clicking a link in a browser cannot resolve to your app.
Also include the DEFAULT category. This allows your app to respond to implicit intents. Without this, the activity can be started only if the intent specifies your app component name.
 android:label="_USER_/title_gizmos" >

Notice that the two intent filters only differ by the element. Although it's possible to include multiple elements in the same filter, it's important that you create separate filters when your intention is to declare unique URLs (such as a specific combination of scheme and host), because multiple elements in the same intent filter are actually merged together to account for all variations of their combined attributes. For example, consider the following:

It might seem as though this supports only and app:// However, it actually supports those two, plus these: app:// and
Read data from incoming intents
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
 val action: String? = intent?.action
 val data: Uri? = intent?.data
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 Intent intent = getIntent();
 String action = intent.getAction();
 Uri data = intent.getData();
Follow these best practices to improve the user's experience:
Test your deep links
$ adb shell am start
 -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW
 -d
$ adb shell am start
 -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW
 -d "example://gizmos"
The manifest declaration and intent handler you set above define the connection between your app and a website and what to do with incoming links. However, in order to have the system treat your app as the default handler for a set of URIs, you must also request that the system verify this connection. The next lesson explains how to implement this verification.
To learn more about intents and app links, see the following resources:

If a rough surface is illuminated by a coherent lightwave of wavelength λ1, it is not possible to determine the surface profile from the phases of the speckle field formed by the scattered light. If the rough surface is illuminated, however, by an additional coherent wave of wavelength λ2, the phase differences between the two speckle fields do contain information about the macroscopic surface profile even if subject to a statistical error. It is shown that (1) the macroscopic surface profile may be determined from the phase differences if the effective wavelength Λ = λ1λ2/|λ1 - λ2| is sufficiently larger than the standard deviation of the microscopic profile of the illuminated surface, and (2) the statistical error is reasonably small if the phase measurements are obtained from speckles of sufficient intensity. Using a heterodyne interferometer we demonstrate the feasibility of this technique. In the first experiment we determine the radius of curvature of a rough spherical surface. In the second experiment the macroscopic surface contour on two ophthalmic lenses of the same power variation, one with a grounded surface and the other with a polished surface, was determined.

History of pocket squares
Pocket squares as a fashion accessory for formal attire have only been around since the beginning of the 20th century. Especially popular in the 1920s, men used to wear a pocket square in combination with a suit, a vest, and the era's typical fedora hat.
The origins of the pocket square:
Initially pocket squares came from the linen handkerchiefs used for personal hygiene. Handkerchiefs have been used for over 600 years. It is said that the handkerchief was invented by Richard II of England (_PHONE_) "as a little piece of cloth for the lord king to wide and clean his nose". Initially only the upper class adopted the use of a linen hankerchief, but by the 17th century the handkerchief was as quite common among all classes throughout western Europe.
Pocket Squares as a fashion accessory:
Initially handkerchiefs were placed in the trousers' pockets since it was seen as un-clean to show a "used" handerchief in the visible breast pocket of a man's jacket. As 2 piece suits came into fashion in the 19th century, many men started to place their clean pocket square into the breast pocket of their jacket to protect it from dirt and other objects, such as coins, in their trousers' pockets. After use the pocket square would move from the breast pocket to the trousers' pockets.
The look of the pocket square in the breast pocket became more popular, especially after specific folding techinques came into use. By the 1920s the pocket square had become more of a fashion accessory than having any other purpose. Often times men had a poacket square in their breast pocket, and another handerchief in their trousers meant for wiping their hands or cleaning their nose.
Later on, during the 40s and 50s the linen handkerchiefs were viewed us unhygenic. The kleenex company, founded in 1924, was the first company to make disposable handkerchiefs. As a result, the linen handkershief was replaced, and only used as a fashion accessory in form of a pocket square. Pocket squares are still today a very fashionable piece of accessory for any formal or even business attire.

Kurokami sama
What is Kurokami Sama?
It is the name of a ritual as well as of a god.*1
This ritual can be done when you have received unfair treatment, such as bullying and power harrassment*2, from others.
How to do it
1. Pull out a strand of your hair.
2. Holding the strand of your hair in your hand, intone the name of the person you want to get revenge on and what deeds this person has done to you. And say, "May my wrongs be avenged."
3. Go up to a high place like the top of a building, and say "Kurokami sama, please avenge my wrongs," and let go of the strand of the hair.
Make sure you tell no one about the ritual
There was once a girl called K who was being bullied at school. As soon as she performed the ritual, those who were bullying her met with misfortunes one by one; some had their families broken up, some fell victims to incurable disease, and others suffered severe mental breakdown. The bullying to her stopped, but one day K came across another bullying done to another girl, and she taught the girl about Kurokami sama ritual. Right after that, the fortunes of K's bullies gradually began to rise, and instead K's fortune quickly declined. K eventually disappeared. No one knows where she is now.
When is Kurokami sama active?
It is said that Kurokami sama begins to be active around two after midnight to fulfil the wish of those who seek the god's help. Kurokami sama appears in the form of "something that is covered competely by hair." If a "good person" happens to encounter Kurokami sama, it will bring luck to the person, but if a "bad person" encounters Kurokami sama, it will bring misfortune to the person. There has been sporadic reports of sightings of Kurokami sama in Kanto region. *3
*1Kurokami sama - Kuro (黒) means black, kami (髪) means hair and sama is a horonific for someone of a higher rank than yourself or for deities (Wikipedia).

Notsuke Peninsula, Hokkaido
Notsuke Peninsula in Hokkaido is Japan's longest sandspit, extending for 26 km (about 16 miles) in length. Withered pine trees stand all around on the wetland, giving the landscape a bleak and otherworldly appearance.
Todowara, Notsuke Peninsula, aka "The End of the World"
But it is rumoured that on a foggy day, this place truly becomes a gateway of anotherwold.
On such a day, people are warned not to walk towards the direction from which the sound of bells comes, or not to follow after a little girl wearing red dress.

Emergency Shelter
(Translated by Saya)
This is a cryptic story! :)
A certain countryside region was hit by earthquake.
I headed to the nearest elementary school building, which was a designated emeregency shelter, and decided to spend a night in there; but as turned out, it was too crowded and therefore too noisy and too warm.
When I went outside to get some fresh air, I noticed there was another building with the lights out on the same premises.
I walked over to it and went inside. It was cool, quiet and a lot of people were lying down on the floor.
I felt so lucky to have found the place and lay down in the same way as the others to go to sleep. But after a while I realised there was something wrong with the place. It was far too quiet.
I dashed out of the building.

The Suspension Bridge
(Translated by Saya)
This is a true story that really happened to my friend, although he never told me the exact location where it took place.
The incident caused two deaths, and he himself had to be quesitoned by the police over and over again.
I heard the story in question from my friend while we were still at college...
It happened when my friend and his six coworkers at his part-time job went for a drive to a suspension bridge in a certain prefecture in the Chugoku region.*1
They split off and drove separately in two cars.
My friend was the driver of the second car.
In the first car which drove ahead of him, there were the manager and a couple, and in his own car there were the remaining four people including himself.
Although they set off in the morning, due to the many stops they made on the way, the sun was already setting when they arrived at the suspension bridge.
The suspension bridge ran across a deep valley in the middle of a mountain.
As they approached the bridge, it began to drizzle, and fog started swirling around them.
There was an open space in front of the bridge, and if the weather were fine, they would have parked their cars in there and crossed the bridge to the other side on foot and come back.
(The other side of the bridge was a dead end. The bridge was left there for sight-seeing.)
However, the moment they reached the open space, the first car came to an abrupt halt.
"What are they doing...?"
The four people, who were inside the second car which also stopped about 10 metres behind the first car, had no clue as to why the manager stopped his car. For some minutes, those in the second car just sat there looking on.

Full Moon
(Translated by Saya)
The following is the account of my mother's experience...
Five years ago, my mother was working for my father's business partner.
Her boss, the company director, would become very irritable at times, and lose his temper at the slightest provacation.
Someone would tell him, "please make sure you look through these documents," and he would somehow blow up, and start taking his anger on the objects around him, and sometimes even start throwing them around.
One day, my mother was on her way home thinking "he was in a bad mood today too," when she noticed the full moon in the sky.
The same thing happened the following month, and the month after that; and she realised that when her boss became irritable it was invariably on a full moon day.
In time, she started thinking, "I don't want to go to work tomorrow because it's a full moon day."
But the boss died suddenly, and it was not because of illness or an accident. He had seemed perfectly robust and healthy up until the time of his death.
Apparently, he had a heart attack. People conjectured that perhaps he had been working too hard.

I want our application to automatically backup the MySQL database daily; is there any way to accomplish that with Java code?

u may use one facility of mysql that can be rollback the data of your database – Dhaiwat budh Sep 9 '12 at 17:44

This is easy to do.
 1. Write a script to create the backup using the "mysqldump" tool available at _URL_ - Google "mysql backup unix/windows script" to find some examples.
 2. Use a task scheduler to run this script. On UNIX this could be "cron", Windows as a "task scheduler". Best to do so at times when the app is under low-usage.
It is worth while putting some backup file cycling into the script so that you keep, say, every backup from the last week and delete the rest.
Also remember to backup to a physically different disk from the database itself so you have a backup if the disk dies.

You can user Quartz-scheduler to schedule the backup, take a look here on how to schedule an automatic Hibernate backup.

Loaf of bread
From: Deir el-Bahari, Thebes
Date: around 1500 BC
Bread was a main food of ancient Egypt. Dozens of different shapes and names are known for loaves of bread, which shows how important it was. This loaf is flat and triangular, but some loaves were round, others tall and cone-shaped.
Much Egyptian bread was made from wheat. Growing grain was one of the main farming activities in Egypt, and is shown in pictures on tomb walls. This loaf was perhaps placed in a tomb to feed the dead person on their journey through the Underworld. In the model granary in the picture below, you can see a woman kneading bread in the courtyard.

Skill concentration.png Concentration (Constitution)
Allows you a chance to continue casting a spell after being damaged or otherwise interrupted. When you take damage you roll a D20 + your Concentration score against a difficulty class of 10 + one tenth of the damage received + the level of the spell you are trying to cast. This check occurs when either casting from spellpoints or using a scroll.
The Quicken metamagic eliminates the check when casting a spell from spellpoints while it is active, however, as scrolls cannot be quickened and Quicken costs spellpoints, the skill is still useful even with the Quicken metamagic.
Even if you succeed on the Concentration check, your spell can still be interrupted, for example if you are tripped or held.
This skill is also important for monks as their ability to retain Ki is tied to Concentration.


most deadly violent haunting in the US
Bell Witch Haunting Ghost Caught on Video Tape
The Bell Witch haunting is one of the first, real, documented ghost hauntings in America, join us as get the Bell Witch Ghost Caught on Tape. Is it possible to communicate to the Bell Witch Ghost through ghost box, evp, and ouija? Join us tonight as attempt get evidence of the Bell Witch Haunting Ghost, caught on tape.
The paranormal haunting of the Bell Witch started with John Bell Sr., who made his living as a farmer, resided with his family in Adams, Tennessee in the early 1800s. In 1817, his family came under attack by a witch, who was believed to be a lady called Kate Batts. Various accounts written afterward, tell stories similar to other poltergeist legends. It began with noises in the walls and grew to include unusual sounds; people being slapped and pinched, objects being thrown, and animals being spooked without visible cause.
In the 1894 book An Authenticated History of the Bell Witch, author Martin Van Buren Ingram claims that the poltergeist's name was Kate, and that she frequently cursed the Bell family out loud. The activity centered on the Bells' youngest daughter, Betsy, and worsened after she became engaged to one Joshua Gardner.
Several accounts report that during his military career, Andrew Jackson was intrigued with the story and was frightened away after traveling to investigate. Other stories relate that the family was haunted by scratching noises outside their door after Bell found a half-dog, half-rabbit creature. Some stories end up with Bell being poisoned by the witch. Accounts vary about the witch being someone who had been cheated by Bell or a male slave whom Bell had killed.

Importing an image into SwiftUI using UIImagePickerController
Paul Hudson _USER_
In order to bring this project to life, we need to let the user select a photo from their library, then display it in ContentView. I've already shown you how this all works, so now it's just a matter of putting it into our app – hopefully it will make a little more sense this time!
Start by making a new Swift file called ImagePicker.swift, replace its "Foundation" import with "SwiftUI", then give it this basic struct:
struct ImagePicker: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
 _USER_(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode
 _USER_ var image: UIImage?
 func makeUIViewController(context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext) -> UIImagePickerController {
 let picker = UIImagePickerController()
 return picker
 func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIImagePickerController, context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext) {
If you recall, using UIViewControllerRepresentable means that ImagePicker is already a SwiftUI view that we can place inside our view hierarchy. In this instance we're wrapping UIKit's UIImagePickerController, which lets the user select something from their photo library.
When that ImagePicker struct is created, SwiftUI will automatically call its makeUIViewController() method, which is what goes on to create and send back a UIImagePickerController. However, our code doesn't actually respond to any events inside the image picker – the user can search for an image and select it to dismiss the view, but we don't then do anything with it.
Rather than making us create a subclass of UIImagePickerController, UIKit instead uses a system of delegation: we create a custom class that will be told when something interesting happened. Each delegate class will usually need to conform to one or more protocols, and in our case that means UINavigationControllerDelegate and UIImagePickerControllerDelegate. The delegates work much like real-life delegates – if you delegate work to someone else, it means you're giving it to them to complete.
SwiftUI handles these delegate classes by letting us define a coordinator that belongs to the struct. This class can do anything we need, including acting as the delegate for UIKit components, and we can then pass any relevant information back up to the ImagePicker that owns it.
Start by adding this as a nested class inside ImagePicker:
class Coordinator: NSObject, UINavigationControllerDelegate, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate {
 let parent: ImagePicker
 init(_ parent: ImagePicker) {
 self.parent = parent
You can see that conforms to the two protocols we need to use for working with UIKit's image picker, and also inherits from NSObject which is the base class for most types that come from UIKit.
Because our coordinator class conforms to the UIImagePickerControllerDelegate protocol, we can make it the delegate of the UIKit image picker by modifying makeUIViewController() to this:
 let picker = UIImagePickerController()
 picker.delegate = context.coordinator
 return picker
We need to make two more changes to ImagePicker to make it useful. The first is to add a makeCoordinator() method that tells SwiftUI to use the Coordinator class for the ImagePicker coordinator. From our perspective this is obvious, because we created a class called Coordinator that was inside the ImagePicker struct, but this makeCoordinator() method lets us control how the coordinator is made.
If you recall, we gave the Coordinator class a single property: let parent: ImagePicker. This means we need to create it with a reference to the image picker that owns it, so the coordinator can forward on interesting events. So, inside our makeCoordinator() method we'll create a Coordinator object and pass in self.
Add this method to the ImagePicker struct now:
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
The final step for ImagePicker is to give the coordinator some sort of functionality. The UIImagePickerController class looks for two methods, but here we're only going to use one: didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo. This will be called when the user has selected an image, and will be given a dictionary of information about the selected image.
To make ImagePicker useful we need to implement that method inside Coordinator, make it set the image property of its parent ImagePicker, then dismiss the view.
UIKit's method name is long and complex, so it's best written using code completion. Make some space inside the Coordinator class and type "didFinishPicking", then press return to have Xcode fill in the whole method for you. Now modify it to have this code:
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey: Any]) {
 if let uiImage = info[.originalImage] as? UIImage {
 parent.image = uiImage
That completes ImagePicker.swift, so please head back to ContentView.swift so we can make use of it.
First we need an _USER_ Boolean to track whether our image picker is being shown or not, so start by adding this to ContentView:
_USER_ private var showingImagePicker = false
Second, we need to set that Boolean to true when the big gray rectangle is tapped, so replace the // select an image comment with this:
self.showingImagePicker = true
Third, we need a property that will store the image the user selected. We gave the ImagePicker struct an _USER_ property attached to a UIImage, which means when we create the image picker we need to pass in a UIImage for it to link to. When the _USER_ property changes, the external value changes as well, which lets us read the value.
So, add this property to ContentView:
_USER_ private var inputImage: UIImage?
Fourth, we need a method that will be called when the ImagePicker view has been dismissed. For now this will just place the selected image directly into the UI, so please add this method to ContentView now:
func loadImage() {
 guard let inputImage = inputImage else { return }
 image = Image(uiImage: inputImage)
And finally, we need to add a sheet() modifier somewhere in ContentView. This will use showingImagePicker as its condition, will reference loadImage as its onDismiss parameter, and present an ImagePicker bound to inputImage as its contents.
So, add this directly below the existing navigationBarTitle() modifier:
.sheet(isPresented: $showingImagePicker, onDismiss: loadImage) {
 ImagePicker(image: self.$inputImage)
That completes all the steps required to wrap a UIKit view controller for use inside SwiftUI. We went over it a little faster this time but hopefully it still all made sense!
Go ahead and run the app again, and you should be able to tap the gray rectangle to import a picture, and when you've found one it will appear inside our UI.
Tip: The ImagePicker view we just made is completely reusable – you can put that Swift file to one side and use it on other projects easily. If you think about it, all the complexity of wrapping the view is contained inside ImagePicker.swift, which means if you do choose to use it elsewhere it's just a matter of showing a sheet and binding an image.

Why become a dormant company?
Although many businesses in the UK are constantly trading, some people choose to form or become a dormant company.
A dormant company is a business that has seen no significant economic activity during an accounting period, thus it stops trading; you can read more about dormant associations in our Transmit Start Ups guide. Here are some reasons why you might want to become a dormant company:
Future proofing
Preparation is key if you want your start-up or small business to succeed, thus if you have an idea for a trading company or are working toward starting a business you may want to open a dormant company. This way, whenever you are ready to begin trading you can jump right in, and begin growing your brand, but, in the meantime, you won't have to worry about filing detailed accounts for your dormant company. Furthermore, you may want to form a dormant company to pit your competitors at the post. Everyone knows the value of a good business idea and even a strong company name. So, why not prevent people from stealing your thunder and incorporate your stellar business today?
A trading break
Many businesses don't start their lives as dormant companies. Sometimes, an actively trading company may decide they want to take a break, and become dormant. Becoming a dormant company is helpful if you intend to continue trading in future. It simplifies the entire administration process, as you should submit abridged accounting forms to Companies House each year, which is less detailed, and so time-saving. Furthermore, it will also reduce the cost compared to if you remained a limited company, as dormant companies are not tax liable. Becoming dormant is also not as much hassle as dissolving your business – especially if there is a chance that you are likely to incorporate a similar business in future.
Some businesses may look to become dormant, for a period, if they hit any significant hurdles during their lifetime. For example, if the owner or director of the company falls ill or dies, a business may become temporarily dormant in order to assess the situation, and appoint new company officers. A company may also undergo a restructuring, and – as a result – no trading will be taking place, thus becoming dormant is a cheaper and more sensible solution. Furthermore, if a business is winding up then it may also choose to become dormant until its end to tie up any loose ends.
Holding assets
Finally, some people choose to register a dormant company so that they can hold a particular asset. For example, in the housing industry, one company – a dormant company – may hold several flats, while a larger, umbrella company handles the leasing. Thus, the holding company remains dormant, as it does not partake in any significant economic activity.

Does stone wool remain disease-free during cultivation?
Stone wool arrives at the greenhouse disease-free. Whether soil diseases are able to penetrate is dependent on the level of hygiene within the company. Naturally, the plant material must also be absolutely disease-free. The careful setting up of the system, the use of ground sheets and properly packaged slabs will limit the risks still further. Should any problems nevertheless arise, they are then relatively simple to resolve. That is the advantage of the small root volume.
What is stone wool?
Stone wool is a mineral wool made of volcanic rock. Stone wool consists of 5% solid material in the form of stone fibres. The remaining 95% is made up of pores.
How is stone wool made?
The basic materials for Grodan stone wool are Basalt and Limestone. These are melted to form lava in an oven with a temperature of 1,500°C. The lava is then poured over a number of fast-rotating discs. Thanks to the centrifugal force, the drops fly off the discs and lengthen to form fibres. The process can be compared with candy floss being made at a fair. The fibres are then compressed to form a sturdy mass, from which the slabs and blocks are then cut.
People often mention capillary action capacity. What does that mean?
Stone wool slabs not only need to absorb sufficient moisture but also need to distribute it over the entire volume of the slab. Grodan stone wool has been specially developed to satisfy these requirements. If the moisture were to sink to the bottom straight away, there would be dry or salty spots in the slab.
The roots would not thrive in such an environment, so the "rootable" volume would be reduced. A good "capillary action capacity" (water distribution) ensures that the entire slab volume can be controlled and thus also fully rooted.
What do growers gain from the "controllability of the substrate"?
With a controllable substrate, the crop has access to whatever it needs at that moment. The plant will therefore respond optimally and thus also be more productive. With Grodan stone wool substrate, the slab volume can be controlled right down to every little corner of the slab volume. Comparable results may be possible with other substrates, but would require around 10 to 15% more water and nutrients.
Why is a water buffer important in the cultivation system?
In the first instance, the water buffer must be able to cushion a temporary disturbance in the nutrient unit. A substrate with a lower "capillary action capacity" is more susceptible to drying out. In addition, the shocks in EC, pH and temperature in a substrate with good capillary action and with a water buffer are less extreme.
Savings in terms of water and nutrients thanks to the controllability of stone wool substrate are of course also important if recirculation is to be applied. With a water buffer, there are far fewer cubic meters of water to be disinfected, so the disinfection costs per square metre are lower.
Why is full rooting important?
Compared with soil, substrate slabs have a smaller volume. However, it is important that that volume can be used fully by the roots. After all, if the weather suddenly changes, a plant needs all its roots in order to be able to cope with the extra transpiration. If the substrate is not fully accessible for root development, there will be risks in the event of changes in the weather leading to a significant difference in evaporation.
Are slabs with a high capillary action capacity too wet for Winter cultivation?
No, since the moisture content of a slab is determined by the evaporation and the watering. Not using trickle irrigation and allowing extreme transpiration in the plant (hot pipes) will automatically lead to the slab drying out.
In other words: the moisture content in the slab is controllable. In principle, we strive for a lower moisture content in the winter. We can achieve this by allowing the crop to transpire sufficiently (minimum pipe temperature, fast ventilation) and through holding long pauses in between the watering sessions.
How do I determine the moisture content?
The water content in the stone wool slab can be assessed with the aid of the Grodan water content meter (WCM). This indicates the current water content of the slabs precisely so that the water content variations can be closely controlled. The WCM also measures the EC and the temperature of the stone wool slab.

Continuous Krapcho Dealkoxycarbonylation in API Synthesis
A high pressure and high temperature continuous flow reactor has been used to intensify a Krapcho dealkoxycarbonylation reaction in the context of API synthesis. The reactor enables operation of the reaction above temperatures possible in batch and thus significantly increased conversion rates are achieved. Also a broader choice of solvents is possible by the use of the continuous process. Batch and continuous reaction are compared in terms of operation range and space-time-yield. Despite lower concentrations of the reactants in the continuous process, space-time-yield exceeds that of the batch process by more than an order of magnitude due to the higher reaction rates.

Hengist of Woodcroft
Biographical information
982 or later[1]
Woodcroft, Gloucestershire
Physical information
Hair colour
Skin colour
Hengist of Woodcroft was a medieval wizard, best known as the founder of the village of Hogsmeade in Scotland, the only all-wizarding village in Great Britain.
Early life
Hengist was born in the Middle Ages, no earlier than 982,[1] in Woodcroft, Gloucestershire. In his youth, Hengist attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he was Sorted into Hufflepuff.[2]
Hengist of Woodcroft
Hengist of Woodcroft, as pictured in his Chocolate Frog Card.
Hengist is traditionally credited with the founding of the village of Hogsmeade after being driven from his home by Muggle prosecutors. According to popular lore, Hengist used the Three Broomsticks Inn as a home.[3]
Death and post-mortem
Hengist died at some point during the Middle Ages. Remembered for his founding of Hogsmeade, he was immortalised in a Chocolate Frog Card[3] There was also a bust of Hengist on the Fourth Floor Corridor of Hogwarts Castle.[4]
On 1 September, 1991, Prefect Gabriel Truman welcomed the Hufflepuff first years to Hufflepuff Basement with a short speech in which he mentioned Hengist of Woodcroft as one of the many notable Hogwarts students who were Sorted, like them, into Hufflepuff.[2]
Behind the scenes
Hengist of Woodcroft's Chocolate Frog Card was one of the very first collected by Harry Potter.[5]
Notes and references
 1. 1.0 1.1 Given Hogwarts was founded in around 993 A.D. and that Hengist attended it, he must have been eleven by or after the school's founding. So, the earliest date he could have possibly been born is 982.

Archived:Calculating text width in Qt
This code snippets shows how to use the QFont and QFontMetrics classes to draw a string into the center of the screen and to get the string height and width in pixels.
Note: In order to use this code, you need to have Qt for Symbian installed on your platform.
- Install latest Qt for Symbian see Qt for Symbian - Installation packages
- Check this link for installation guide: How to install the package.
- Go through this article: Getting started with Qt for Symbian
- This source code centers the text and sets the text colour.
// Create font
// Set current font
// Set font color
// Get QFontMetrics reference
QFontMetrics fm = painter.fontMetrics();
QString text = "helloworld";
// Calculate text center position into the screen using QFontMetrics class
QPoint center = QPoint( ( width()-fm.width(text))/2,
( height() - fm.height())/2 );
// QFontMetrics::width() gives calculated text width with current QFont in QPainter
// QFontMetrics::height() gives text height
The text is centered on the screen.
The code example can be found at File:HelloworldNew.zip

Promised glory and unity of HTML5 API is falling apart. API keeps breaking with every new version of browser. That's sad.
Firefox and Google Chrome implemented File API for manipulating with files. It contained very useful function slice.
Slice allowed you to read part of file content. This was quite handy when dealing with big files.
Poorly chosen name for API function caused split in browsers unity. Here is explanation:
This method was removed in Gecko 5.0 (Firefox 5.0) because its syntax differs from that of Array.slice() and String.slice(). Work is ongoing on standardizing its replacement, but for now you can use the mozSlice() method on Gecko-based browsers.
Method was replaced by:
mozSlice – in Firefox
webkitSlice – in Google Chrome
There is one important difference in the second parameter of function:
In case of slice it was length of block that should be loaded.
In case of *Slice it is the end position of block (length + start position).

Wind down and loosen up
What's the difference between "wind down" and "loosen up"?
Dictionary says: wind down - to rest or relax after a period of activity or excitement, and, loosen up - to relax and stop worrying.
So, for example, if you're nervous about something at work, or before an exam, you must "loosen up", and if you have been working hard, mm, digging ground, or playing football, and you want to relax, you should "wind down"?
Wind down isn't related to "nervous", when "loosen up" like a.. "calm down"?
And what is the past form of loosen up, loosened up?
Thanks in advance
Lets see the difference if any:
Wind down:Become quiet or calm, especially after a state of agitation.
Wind loose:Become less tense, less formal, or less restrained, and assume a friendlier manner.
I think they are different.

Croatia has introduced a number of reforms to contain pharmaceutical expenditure whilst increasing access to new medicines. These include new regulations and new ordinances in 2013 including the pricing of new medicines and lowering the price of generics. Describe changes in the 2013 ordinance for new and established medicines in Croatia and the potential savings to provide future guidance. Methods: Descriptive review of the new ordinances for pricing and reimbursement of pharmaceuticals and calculations of potential savings from the various initiatives. There were changes in the ordinance for the pricing of new medicines in Croatia including the order of reference priced countries. There were also changes in the pricing of biosimilars as well as comparator levels with other countries. Projections show that with the new ordinance, ambulatory care expenditure for the 54 product groups (internal reference price system) will be reduced by 9.64% (318.4 million kunas) and prices of new medicines lowered by 8 to 10% following changes in the order of referenced price countries. This paper demonstrates that changes in the reference pricing system can lead to considerable differences in overall reimbursed expenditure. In addition, European countries with smaller populations can be active with introducing a variety of measures to keep pharmaceutical expenditure under control whilst increasing access to new medicines. Further reforms will be needed to improve the quality of prescribing. It is also likely further ordinances will be needed to keep pharmaceutical expenditure under control.

SEARCH Encourages Proposals to the Arctic Science, Engineering, and Education for Sustainability (ArcSEES) Opportunity
The SEARCH and International Study of Arctic Change (ISAC) steering groups released a "Dear Colleague" letter to encourage SEARCH and ISAC-relevant proposals to the recent NSF solicitation on Arctic Science, Engineering, and Education for Sustainability (ArcSEES, see funding article in this issue of Witness). The Dear Colleague letter highlights three reports that may be useful in linking proposal topics to identified priorities from the science community. The NSF ArcSEES solicitation presents an excellent opportunity to propose projects that implement ideas developed by the broad SEARCH and ISAC communities that are relevant to sustainability issues in the Arctic.
The Dear Colleague letter and relevant reports are available at:
