A surface of revolution is a three-dimensional surface with circular cross sections, like a vase or a bell or a wine bottle. For these problems, you divide the surface into narrow circular bands, figure the surface area of a representative band, and then just add up the areas of all the bands to get the total surface area. The following figure shows such a shape with a representative band.
What's the surface area of a representative band? Well, if you cut the band and unroll it, you get sort of a long, narrow rectangle whose area, of course, is length times width.
It's because the little band width is slanted instead of horizontal (in which case it would be just dx). The fact that it's slanted makes it work like the hypotenuse of a little right triangle. The fancy-looking expression for the width of the band comes from working out the length of this hypotenuse with the Pythagorean Theorem. That should make you feel a lot better!
If the axis of revolution is the x-axis, r will equal f (x) — as shown in the above figure. If the axis of revolution is some other line, like y = 5, it's a bit more complicated — something to look forward to.
A surface of revolution — this one's shaped sort of like the end of a trumpet.
Take the derivative of your function.
Now you can finish the problem by just plugging everything into the formula, but you should do it step by step to reinforce the idea that whenever you integrate, you write down a representative little bit of something — that's the integrand — then you add up all the little bits by integrating.
Figure the surface area of a representative narrow band.
Add up the areas of all the bands from 1 to 2 by integrating.

F Troop Fridays are always a great way to wind down the week, and last Friday Hal at The Horn Section offers up "She's Only a Build in a Girdled Cage," a wonderful title (which not so many people would get today), starring Patrice Wymore as said build in said girdle. Alas, the story appears not to be quite as good as the title...
At The Twilight Zone Vortex, Jordan reviews "Cavender is Coming," the 1962 episode featuring Carol Burnett that demonstrates once again that Rod Serling, for all his talents, was not good a comedic writing; this episode, like his other comic efforts, falls flat. Jesse White co-stars as her guardian angel; perhaps it would have been better if she'd needed her Maytag repaired.
Ooh, "Incense for the Damned" - isn't that a great title for a movie? Add in Patrick Macnee, Edward Woodward, Peter Cushing, and Patrick Mower, and that makes it even better, don't you think? Read about this movie at Cult TV Blog, where John says that "if you're not a horror fan, but instead a lover of the TV of the sixties and seventies, this show may be right up your street."
The Hitchcock Project continues at bare-bones e-zine, with Jack's focus this week being the second season episode "The West Warlock Time Capsule," Marion Cockrell's droll story of what happens when an unwanted relative stays too long. . .
January 14 was the 66th anniversary of the first Today show, and at Garroway at Large, Jodie presents the product of years of research: a reconstruction of exactly what happened on that first show. Fascinating details!
Television's New Frontier: the 1960's turns its focus on the 1960 season of Dale Robertson's Western series Tales of Wells Fargo. Meanwhile, Television Obscurities reminds us of why some shows become obscure, with this rundown of the Nielsen Bottom Ten for January 15-21, 1973.
And coming up next month, The Classic TV Blog Association presents The Classic TV Villain Blogathon. Here's a preview of what to expect:
That's all next month, but in the meantime we've still got tomorrow, and you're welcome back then for a look at another TV Guide. TV

House Democrats Pass Partisan Articles of Impeachment Against President Trump
House Democrats voted to impeach President Donald Trump, making Trump the third president in American history to be impeached by the House of Representatives. Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1998 were the other two. Both were acquitted in the Senate, and remained in office till the end of their terms. This is shaping up to be the scenario for Trump as well, as the Senate is under Republican control. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) has already said that he intends to simply hold a vote to dismiss the charges, rather than dignify them with a debate ...
Elite Sex Trafficker Jeffery Epstein 'Suicided' While in Prison Awaiting Trial
On August 9, 2019 more documents were unsealed with victim statements alleging they were forced to have sex with Bill Clinton, former Clinton United Nations Ambassador Bill Richardson, and Democrat Majority Leader George Mitchell among others of the global elite.[59] 24 hours later, Epstein was dead at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan while in the U.S. Marshall Service custody. CBS News reported "shouting and shrieking" coming from Epstein's cell.[60] Epstein suffered broken bones in his neck. Dr. Wecht, who is a doctor and lawyer, told Kennedy a Montreal study found only 2 of 239 hanging death resulted ...
Valentines Day Mass School Shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. Was it a False Flag to Repeal the 2nd Amendment?
On the afternoon of February 14, 2018, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The suspected shooter, Nikolas Cruz, ordered an Uber and was dropped off at the school by a female driver at 2:19 p.m. EST. He was carrying a black backpack and a long black bag. At approximately 2:21, near dismissal time, staff and students heard gunfire and instituted a "code red" lockdown. (Wikipedia) The shooting rampage lasted six minutes, after which Cruz is said to have discarded his weapon and fled by blending in with other fleeing students. He walked to a nearby Walmart, where ...
Las Vegas Route 91 Country Music Festival (Mandalay Bay) Shooting: The Deadliest Mass Shooting in U.S. History Kills 59, Injures 527. A Massive Cover Up.
Official story from Wikipedia (11/1/17): On the night of October 1, 2017, a gunman opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, leaving 58 people dead and 546 injured. Between 10:05 and 10:15 p.m. PDT, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada, fired hundreds of rifle rounds from his suite on the 32nd floor of the nearby Mandalay Bay hotel. About an hour after Paddock fired his last shot into the crowd, he was found dead in his room from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His motive is ...
RussiaGate: After Trump Wins the 2016 Election, a Deep State Coup to Oust Him Begins with a Dirty Fake Dossier Paid for by the Clinton Campaign
Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson revealed in a new book titled, "Crime in Progress" which was released in November 2019, that he was first hired to investigate Donald Trump "in the fall of 2015". The deep state began their counter-imtelligence into the Trump campaign at least as early as December 2015 according to Strzok-Page texts. "Why? Because, as Newt Gingrich put it: "He didn't belong to the secret society". The RussiaGate gambit to destroy Trump served a laundry list of purposes to cover it: Undermine his legitimacy before he even takes office. Accuse him of what Hillary actually did: ...
PIZZAGATE: The Coded Podesta Emails, Pedophile Pizza Restaurants, Hillary Clinton, & Satanic Ritual Sacrifice
The CIA / Deep State controlled Wikipedia claims that PizzaGate is a debunked conspiracy theory created by fake news: This conspiracy theory emerged near the end of the 2016 United States presidential election cycle. BuzzFeed News traced its origin to a tweet written by a "reputed white supremacist" on October 30, 2016 that claimed the New York City Police Department, which was searching emails found on Anthony Weiner's laptop as part of an investigation into his sexting scandals, had discovered the existence of a pedophilia ring linked to members of the Democratic Party. Internet users reading John Podesta's emails released ...
U.S. Political Pedophile Ring Leader, Jeffrey Epstein, Sued by Sex Slaves but Gets Off Easy
A federal civil suit was filed in Florida against the United States for violations of the Crime Victims' Rights Act in agreeing to the 2008 plea where the United States had entered into a secret non-prosecution agreement (NPA) regarding those crimes in violation of their rights (other victims have also joined the suit); it accuses Jewish Illuminati elite and Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz of sexually abusing a minor provided by billionaire Jeffrey Epstein (Tier 1 sex offender in Virgin Islands). This began a scandal involving the Epstein's Boeing 727, dubbed the "Lolita Express," and his private Caribbean Island of Little Saint ...
CDC Whistleblower: CDC Knew MMR Vaccines Could Cause Autism
A Centers for Disease Control (CDC) senior scientist made an unprecedented admission: he and his colleagues–he says– committed scientific misconduct to cover up a meaningful link between vaccines and autism in black boys. Just as startling, the CDC scientist, Dr. William Thompson, says the study co-authors "scheduled a meeting to destroy documents related to the study. The remaining four co-authors all met and brought a big garbage can into the meeting room, and reviewed and went through all the hardcopy documents that we had thought we should discard, and put them into a huge garbage can." Despite this whistleblower ...
Boston Marathon Bombings: False Flag?
Near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, at 671–673 and 755 Boylston Street in downtown Boston 2 bombs exploded (apparently homemade pressure cooker bombs) at about 2:49pm. The bombs exploded about 12 seconds and 210 yards (190 m) apart reportedly killing 3 civilians and injuring an estimated 264 others. Many things about the official story are inconsistent. Evidence points to another false flag in an effort by the Obama administration to demonize the 2nd amendment. False Flag? Drill DURING the bombing? One of the most puzzling pieces of evidence supporting the notion that the event may indicate prior knowledge or government involvement emerged within moments ...
Sandy Hook School Shooting or Staged False Flag Event?
According to the official story: In Newtown, Connecticut, 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children aged between 6 and 7 years old, as well as six adult staff members. Prior to driving to the school, Lanza shot and killed his mother at their Newtown home. As first responders arrived at the scene, Lanza committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. Read more on Wikipedia. The incident was the deadliest mass shooting at a high school or grade school in U.S. history and the third-deadliest mass shooting by a single person in U.S. history. The shooting prompted renewed debate about gun ...
Operation Yewtree: Jimmy Savile and UK VIP Pedophile Ring Investigation Begins
Investigators believe Savile sexually abused hundreds of boys, and was part of an elite VIP pedophile ring in the UK with dozens of politicians, royals, senior officials, intelligence agencies, and high military figures connected. MI5 repeatedly blocked investigations into the ring, as well as police of the Thatcher administration. Over 1,400 people have been investigated by Operation Yewtree police. Officers are looking into child sex abuse allegations against high-profile individuals including politicians, celebrities and institutions. The operation was launched in the wake of widespread claims of sex abuse made against Jimmy Savile after he died in 2011. Out of the ...
Benghazi Attack: Was Ambassador Stevens Murdered to Cover an Obama Arms Transfer to Al-Qaeda Mercenaries?
On Sept. 11, 2012, a group of local fighters, AK-47s in hand, burst through the fortified front gate of a US outpost in Benghazi, Libya. One very long night later, the diplomatic compound was engulfed in flames and a covert CIA base a mile away lay in ruins, partially reduced to rubble by mortar fire. Four Americans were dead, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Information Officer Sean Smith, and two CIA operatives, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, both former Navy SEALs. Stevens was the first U.S. ambassador killed in an attack since Adolph Dubs was killed in Kabul, Afghanistan in 1979. The Benghazi attack was staged ...
FOIA Requested Docs Show U.S. & West Supported ISIS from Inception
Documents written by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency … years before ISIS burst onto the world stage, show that the U.S. and the West supported (funded, trained, etc.) ISIS at its inception … as a way to isolate the Syrian government. This is the 'official story, but ISIS was created as a terror cell to do the 'dirty work' for the CIA. The documents were release to Judicial Watch via a Freedom of Information Act request. Here are screenshots from the documents. We have highlighted the relevant parts in yellow: Why is this important? It shows that extreme Muslim terrorists – salafists, Muslims Brotherhood, ...
Seal TEAM 6 Killed: Set Up and Covered Up
A Chinook helo, call sign Extortion 17, is shot down in Tangi, Wardak Province, Afghanistan. Within hours, before family notifications could possibly have been completed, global press accounts positively confirm that 22 of the 30 Americans killed were not just SEALS, but members of SEAL Team 6. Again, DEVGRU operations have been, up until now, highly classified. Today, the Obama regime made a point of immediately revealing the unit identities of the SPECOPS forces among the dead. It was the worst loss of life in a single day since the war in Afghanistan began. Per a 1250-page military report, it ...
Obama Claims to Kill Osama Bin Laden who Actually Died 10 Years Earlier
According to the official story, Osama Bin Laden was said to have died after a team of Navy Seals shot him dead during a raid on his safe house in Pakistan on May 1st 2011. This story has been propagandized heavily not just by the mainstream media in America but also in the Hollywood film production Zero Dark Thirty. It is a complete fabrication of reality for many reasons including the fact that Bin Laden was extremely sick in the days before the 9/11 attacks and was widely reported to have died shortly after. Now additional information has come ...
3/11 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactor Plant Disaster: A Man-Made Disaster by Israel
From https://311truth.wordpress.com/: By now you may have already found out that the official story about March 11, 2011 in Japan, is not a representation of what really happened on that day. To determine what the truth is, what DID happen that day and in the aftermath is of great importance because the lies and the deception surrounding the events run so deep and reach to the highest levels in the global community. Exposing the 3/11 truth is vital when we want to prevent similar or even worse events in the future, exposing the 3/11 truth can also contribute to change ...
Haiti Earthquake: HAARP Man-made Disaster? Clinton Foundation Scam?
A massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake, with an epicenter near the town of Léogâne (Ouest), approximately 25 kilometers (16 mi) west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital occurred affecting some 3 million Haitians. Deaths are estimated as high as 316,000. A simulation of the earthquake in Haiti was run by Southcom the day before. Former president's Clinton & Bush were put in charge of the relief effort and they did a remarkable job collecting some 2 billion in the relief effort, but Haitians ask "Where is the money?". Most went to US companies and NGO's, Industrial Parks and Hotels. The Clinton Foundation donors profited, as did the ...
Climategate: Leaked Emails Reveal Scientific Fraud & Data Manipulation for Global Warming
The Climategate scandal erupted on November 19, 2009, when a collection of email messages, data files and data processing programs were leaked from the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit (CRU) located in the UK, revealing scientific fraud and data manipulation by scientists concerning the Global Warming Theory. The scandal that the suffix –gate implies is the state of climate science over the past decade, revealed by more than a thousand emails, documents, and computer code sets between various prominent scientists.[2] The released information is evidence of deceit by climate scientists, which was kept a secret or hidden from ...
Fast and Furious Begins: Secret Government Gun Smuggling Operation
It started during the George W. Bush administration. Back then it was termed "Operation Wide Receiver." The program later became known as "Gunwalking" and ended up being labeled "Fast and Furious." An ill-conceived scheme from its outset, it eventually cost the lives of an unknown number of Mexican citizens and one U.S. Border Patrol agent. Operation Fast and Furious began when a local gun store reported to the Phoenix ATF that four individuals had purchased multiple AK-47 style rifles. In November 2009, the Phoenix office's Group VII, which would be the lead investigative group in Fast and Furious, began to ...
Leader Technologies sues Facebook for Patent Infringement. How the Deep State Conspired to Steal their Social Networking Invention as a Tool for Rogue CIA Mind Control
Trillion Dollar Rip-Off: Social Networking is a Stolen Trade Secret One of the largest government sponsored industrial espionage thefts of copyrights, trade secrets, and patents in modern times was the theft of scalable social networking inventions. The technology and programming code that underlie Facebook, Gmail, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and most the other large-scale social networking companies runs on Leader Technologies' intellectual property. It was stolen by a group of criminal lawyers, judges, spies and bankers working with complete impunity and in total disregard for the law. Under the guise of the IBM Eclipse Foundation, James P. Chandler III (who ...
Hurricane Katrina Devastates Louisiana and Mississipi: Was this a Manipulated Storm by the Global Elite?
WAS HURRICANE KATRINA A MANIPULATED STORM ?? On August 25th, Professor McCanney posted an update on his website: We have had severe solar activity but it subsided just as hurricane Katrina picked up steam immediately after leaving Florida. The 'ole warm water theory cannot explain how this became a category 4 hurricane in minutes after leaving Florida... and the path... is truly not a natural hurricane path by any historical standards. You decide! And once again, why the long wait to evacuate New Orleans??? Remember, this is the 5th major storm to hit this oil rich area starting with ...
London 7/7 Bombings: Was it a False Flag?
London Subway Bombings (7/7 Bombing). Were they false flag attacks in London meant to scapegoat Islamic people, terrorize Londoners, and allow draconian, new power measures while bolstering lagging support of the war in Iraq. Perhaps even served as a punitive strike, to punish Londoners for their lack of war support? There are now only 5 nations on the world left without a Rothschild controlled central bank: Iran; North Korea; Sudan; Cuba; and Libya. Missing from the mainstream coverage is any mention of how flimsy and non-credible the official narrative of the events of the London Bombings are. You will hear ...
9/11 False Flag Attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon
The attack on 9/11 was a carefully planned government black operation, with a corresponding cover-up of the mountains of evidence that only point to government control and involvement throughout the attack. Fortunately, the 9/11 truth movement is now led intellectually by scientists and other professionals, as shown by the emergence of various organizations, including Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice (which includes scientists), Veterans for 9/11 Truth, and the Scientific Panel to Investigate 9/11. The movement also includes several former intelligence officers. Thanks to these ...
John F Kennedy, Jr., his Wife, and Sister-in-Law Die in Mysterious Plane Crash Near Martha's Vineyard
John F. Kennedy, Jr., his wife, and sister-in-law died when the Piper Saratoga II TC that JFK, Jr. was piloting crashed into the ocean just short of Martha's Vineyard. This happened only days after an NBC Dateline story hinting at a possible run for the Senate seat currently assumed to be the property of Hillary Clinton. Was he another Clinton Body count casualty? Even before the wreckage of the plane had been found, the media was saturated with news stories declaring the weather to have been very hazy (the weather was VFR conditions, and 8 mile visibility, plus weather ...

Princess Diana of Wales Dies Following a Mysterious Car Crash. Was it an Accident or Orchestrated Murder?
At 12.23 a.m. on Sunday 31 August 1997 one of the most significant car crashes of the 20th century occurred in Paris' Alma Tunnel. It took the life of Diana Princess of Wales and her lover, Dodi Fayed. The question is: Was this crash an accident or an orchestrated assassination? Investigative writer, John Morgan, has written a series of authoritative, factual and explosive books (10 of them) that address the evidence. He concludes that the Paris crash was orchestrated by agents of the British state, worki

DVD Review: Silent Hill Revelation
The Carpenter Files: They Live (1988)
Editor's Choice, Features
Blu-Ray Review: 80,000 Suspects
New Year's Eve will never be the same again after a smallpox epidemic erupts in the city of Bath, cutting a deadly swathe through its terrified inhabitants. Dr Steven Monk (Richard Johnson) is the first to diagnose the illness and finds himself pitched into the centre of the crisis, fighting to prevent the virus's spread while harbouring a guilty secret primed to ruin his already strained marriage and then his wife Julie (Claire Bloom) falls victim to the disease and Monk embarks on a desperate mission to locate the last carrier of the virus, not knowing if Julie will live or die, not realising that the last carrier is somebody he knows very well.
80,000 Suspects was made in 1963, the same year that Richard Johnson and Claire Bloom also shared the big screen in a very different and far better known film called The Haunting. It is testament to their consummate and rather underrated acting abilities (especially in Johnson's case) that The Haunting never comes to mind while watching 80,000 Suspects: Richard Johnson, who played The Haunting's charming parapsychologist Dr Markway, is far less sympathetic in his role as Steven Monk, a doctor who long ago lost connection with his own emotions. With his chiselled jaw and icy composure it is easy to see why Albert R Broccoli and Harry Saltzman had championed him to play James Bond a year or so earlier, and with Spectre on the horizon it's interesting to wonder what would have become of the Bond franchise had he accepted the role. Claire Bloom, on the other hand, plays a far softer character than Theodora, her The Haunting persona. She is, in many respects, the heart of 80,000 Suspects, even though the screenplay really doesn't do her character any justice.
In fact, 80,000 Suspects' screenplay – written by director Val Guest and based on Elleston Trevor's 1957 novel The Pillars of Midnight – is really the film's only problem. The script moves well and Monk's fight-against-time to control the disease still holds a significant degree of tension even for a jaded modern audience used to seeing similar stories told in more recent bigger-budget movies like Outbreak (1995) and Contagion (2011), but there is also a barely disguised streak of misogyny and heavy-handed moralising in the screenplay that dates the film terribly – Bloom's Julie Monk not only refuses to see her husband's faults, she chooses to ignore his suspected infidelity with a close friend and even berates herself for what a boring stick-in-the-mud housewife she must be, and while we're on the subject of Steven's infidelity the close friend he slept with – Ruth Preston (Yolande Dolan, aka Mrs Val Guest) – is eventually revealed to be implicated in the spread of the virus, no doubt drawing an unspoken but very clumsy link between the smallpox epidemic and Ruth's catalogue of extra-marital affairs, obviously suggesting that all immoral good-time girls get their comeuppance in the end. Or maybe I'm just over-thinking it.
Still, setting aside its dated 1960s attitudes, 80,000 Suspects remains an incredibly entertaining melodrama that deserves to be seen and it looks fabulous in Network's new blu-ray release (also available on DVD). It's a fine presentation and a worthy edition to Network's 'The British Film' collection, and I for one am delighted to see this sadly neglected little gem of a movie finally dusted off and receiving the treatment it truly deserves.

Q: Drawing multiple rectangles on a panel in Swing I'm trying to draw multiple rectangles on a panel. I created an ArrayList<Shape> and initialized in my constructor. In my paintComponent method, I draw a rectangle and then add it to the ArrayList. But when I do that, the drawing outcome on my panel turns out weird. As I drag to draw my first rectangle, I get this:

Here's part of my code:
public class MyMouseListener extends MouseAdapter {
    @Override
    public void mousePressed(final MouseEvent theEvent) {
        myStartPoint = theEvent.getPoint();
        repaint();

    }

    @Override
    public void mouseReleased(final MouseEvent theEvent) {
        myEndPoint = theEvent.getPoint();
        repaint();
    }
}

public class MyMouseMotionHandler extends MouseMotionAdapter {
    @Override
    public void mouseDragged(final MouseEvent theEvent) {
        myEndPoint = theEvent.getPoint();
        repaint();
    }
}

/**
* Paints some rectangles.
*
* @param theGraphics The graphics context to use for painting.
*/
@Override
public void paintComponent(final Graphics theGraphics) {
    super.paintComponent(theGraphics);
    final Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) theGraphics;

    // for better graphics display
    g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
                         RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);

        g2d.draw(s);

}

A: Don't do any code logic within paintComponent -- that method is for drawing and drawing only, and that is the source of your bug. Add the rectangle to the ArrayList in the mouse listener, on mouse release.
When I have done a similar project, I usually have one Rectangle field that I use to draw with the mouse listener on mouse drag, and which is draw within paintComponent. Then on mouse release I place that rectangle into the ArrayList, and set the class field as null.
e.g.,
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Point;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.Shape;

65. Gerut and the Question of Belief
(Vol. XCII, 1982, pp. 211-213)QUESTION: A young woman wishes to convert to Judaism. She has given her reasons for doing so as follows. She will marry a Jewish man and wants to establish a home which shall be unified religiously. She has been impressed by the strength of Jewish family life and by its close-knit unity. Her ethical and moral values coincide with those of Judaism; she is strongly committed to Jewish ethical values, and has considerable interest in Israel and Zionism. She does, however, consider herself agnostic and doubts whether her attitude will change. In all of these matters she is in complete agreement with her Jewish fiance. She feels no attachment to her former Christian background. Can we accept such an individual as a convert to Judaism? (D.O., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)ANSWER: The traditional approach to converts was to warn them that they were joining a persecuted community and that many obligations were incumbent upon them. This was followed by a discussion of the ritual necessary for conversion (Yev. 46, 47; Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh De-a 268; Yad, Hil. Isurei Bi-a 15). It is clear that the "obligations" were the mitzvot and, of course, it was understood that all of these were of divine origin. Therefore, the source of the mitzvot had to be accepted. Modern Orthodox authorities have generally rejected converts who join us for the sake of marriage. Some would accept them in order to avoid the conversion by Reform rabbis (Mendel Kirshbaum, Menachem Meshiv, #9), because civil marriage has preceded, or because the couple is living together (David Hoffman, Melamed Lehoil, Even Ha-ezer 8, 10; Yoreh De-a 85). Similar arguments have been advanced by Meshulam Kutner in Uketora Ya-asu, and by Moses Feinstein in Igerot Mosheh, Even Ha-ezer 27. However, the greatest number of Orthodox authorities have rejected these arguments (e.g., Joseph Saul Nathanson, Jacob Ettlinger, and Yehiel Weinberg). Their rejection, even for consideration as converts, was based upon the ulterior motivation and the likelihood that they would not accept all of the commandments which are not generally observed in the Jewish community today and probably not kept by the Jewish partner (Isaac Herzog, Heichal Yitschak, Even Ha-ezer I, #20; Meir Arak, Imrei Yosher I, #176; Abraham Kook, Da-at Kohen, #154; Moses Feinstein, Igerot Mosheh, Yoreh De-a I, #157, 160; Even Ha-ezer III, #4; CCAR Yearbook, vol. 2, pp. 66ff; Rabbi's Manual, pp. 17ff). It is, therefore, quite clear that in Judaism, belief in God has been considered and was implied as a basis for conversion. The nature of that belief may have varied considerably, as there has always been wide latitude in Judaism and many divergent concepts have been acceptable. The Biblical figure Ruth has generally been taken as the prototype for all later converts. Her classical statement (in Ruth 1:16) mentioned God only at its conclusion, leading some commentators to the conclusion that while rejection of pagan beliefs was considered essential, belief in God might be achieved gradually. The Biblical Book of Job and many of the psalms display questions verging on agnosticism. Some Spanish Jewish philosophers and those of Renaissance Italy expressed similar doubts. Such thoughts were, however, rejected in the more restrictive ghettos of Central and Eastern Europe. In modern times the writings of Mordecai Kaplan, Martin Buber, Walter Kaufman, and a host of others have presented a variety of radical positions, sometimes close to agnosticism. Sections of the English prayers in the service of Gates of Prayer are written from this questioning stance. Many prospective converts have been and will be motivated by the openness of Judaism which encourages exploration of all ideas even while demanding that the Jewish path of life (Halacha) be followed. The woman in question does not deny the existence of God and is not an atheist. We would not have accepted her if she denied the existence of God, but we should accept this convert with the feeling that her attachment to Judaism and the knowledge of it are sufficient to bring her into Judaism and to help her develop a commitment to this religion. As her Jewish life continues, she may also change her views on the nature of God.Walter Jacob, ChairmanIsaac NeumanLeonard S. KravitzHarry A. RothRav A. Soloff

Our tips on using inclusive language in the workplace
Adrienne Cox
Inclusion means many things. But in this blog, I want to talk about language.
Language tells us not just who we are, but where we have been and where we are now. It builds relationships and forges connections. It makes people feel included, like they fit in.
Language also creates barriers. It can make people feel excluded, like they don't belong.
A diverse workplace means a broad range of skills, talent, perspectives and experiences in the one place. And when diversity meets inclusion, workplaces are more likely to retain staff, meet or exceed financial targets, achieve better business outcomes, and be high performing, innovative and agile.
While as a general rule, referring to disability, race, culture, gender, sexuality and age should only be done if contextually relevant, if you decide they are, here are a couple of our tips to ensure you are using inclusive language.
Talking about disability and illnesses
Identities are complex and multidimensional. So, when talking about disabilities, focus on the person rather than their mental or physical characteristics. Using person-first language means using terms like 'person with disability' as opposed to 'disabled person' which uses disability as an adjective that defines the person. You should also say 'with disability' rather than 'with a disability' because people can have multiple disabilities – and some may not attribute one thing to a particular disability.
The Australian Government Style Manual also suggests that you should not:
say someone is inspirational only because of their disability
write about people as if they are victims or heroes
use euphemisms and made-up terms such as 'disAbility'.
To reference specific spaces designed for people with disabilities, use the term 'accessible' over 'disabled' – for example, an 'accessible car space' – a tip relevant for office invitations and signposting.
When talking about mental illness, you should also use person-first language. For instance, write 'people with mental illness' or 'people with mental ill-health' over 'the mentally ill'. You should describe mental illnesses the same way you would any other illness or injury – so make sure you describe someone as 'having' a mental illness, rather than 'being' one. For example, say 'they have bipolar' not 'they are bipolar'.
Talking about race, culture and language
Australia is a country rich in cultural diversity and our language needs to reflect that. So, it's best to use 'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people' which respects the diversity and difference between the two cultures. The term 'Indigenous' – while often used generically – can diminish the diversity of these communities, so avoid using it unless given permission otherwise.
It is also important to note that some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples may prefer to be identified by clan, nation or language group – so again, check in with the person you're referring to.
Australia is also incredibly linguistically diverse. The Australian Bureau of Statistics reported in the 2016 Census that over 300 separate languages are spoken in Australian homes. So when it comes to speaking about people who do not speak English as their first language, use 'language other than English' over 'non-English speaking background' to avoid unnecessarily dividing people into English speaking and non-English speaking.
Talking about gender
Inclusive language on gender should convey gender equality and be neutral. This means, when referring to individuals, you should ask what their pronoun is. If you cannot ask them and they have not said otherwise, use a gender-neutral pronoun like 'you' or 'they' – or even construct the sentence in a way that avoids the use of pronouns entirely.
For example, to avoid gender specific pronouns, you could say:
you must provide evidence of having obtained a security clearance in your application. [Second-person pronoun.]
candidates must provide evidence of having obtained a security clearance in their application. [Plural pronoun.]
applicants must provide evidence of having obtained a security clearance in the application. [Leaving pronoun out altogether.]
Gender-neutral pronouns can also be used when referring to people who do not identify as a particular gender or who identify as non-binary or gender fluid.
In job ads, gender-specific job titles should be avoided. For example, replace a gendered title like 'fireman' with a neutral one like 'firefighter'. You should also not specify women in job titles – for example, replace 'waitress' with 'waiter'.
Talking about sexuality
Sexual orientation is not a choice. You should avoid using the term 'sexual preference' as it suggests that individuals choose their sexual orientation.
You should also steer clear of heteronormative assumptions – use 'partner' or 'spouse' over 'husband', 'wife', 'girlfriend' or 'boyfriend'. This helps you to avoid both wrongly assuming someone's sexual orientation as well as misgendering their partner.
'LGBT' is a term that arose in the 1990s to refer to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. The term has evolved over the past three decades and has now been expanded to 'LGBTIQ+' or 'LGBTIQA+' – which includes intersex people, the queer community, asexual people and other sexual identities.
The Australian Government Style Manual uses 'LGBTI' and 'LGBTQ+' but also notes that when creating law and policy, writers often use the term 'SOGIESC', which refers to 'sexual orientation, gender identity and expression and sex characteristics'.
Talking about age
Standalone words like 'old' or 'young' are relative terms and can carry unintentional subtext. A more neutral way to refer to age is to say 'older people' or 'younger people'.
Students should be referred to by level of study rather than age as tertiary students can be many ages. Unless relevant to the context, avoid using the term 'mature-age student'.
Using inclusive language in the workplace can mean breaking old habits. Habits that can be, for some, decades long. It is important to remember that everyone makes mistakes. So, if you catch yourself out, just apologise, learn from it, and try to avoid doing it again.
Discussions on using the most inclusive words at work are constantly evolving and it's important to pay attention to them. But when in doubt, follow the general rule that people have the right to identify as they choose. Simply ask people how they'd like to be referred to.
Remember, the way we use our words – how we speak to one another – shapes our workplace culture. And a genuinely inclusive workplace is a successful one.
Our cornerstone. We understand deeply what's required of a communication campaign to drive awareness and create behaviour change.

Singer/Songwriter Tiffany Joy McGhee 'TiffJoy' took home the songwriter's dream award on last night's Stellar Awards. "The Stellars" is an award show that recognizes artists within Gospel music who have had an impactful year. Among the many categories is, Song of the Year. This category recognizes the incredible songwriters that are the brains behind the songs we all love.
This year's category housed some heavy hitters- many of whom are respected industry vets. The winner however was new comer Tiffany Joy McGhee out of Chicago. Her song, Amazing is featured on Ricky Dillard's latest release as the title track. Not only did TiffJoy write it, but she's also singing on it. The song has taken over the airwaves and churches around the country.
It's a pretty simple song that refocuses the listener on how awesome God is. There really aren't any strings being pulled, it's just a simple song about how amazing God is. The simplicity of it is what made it the song of the year. Church praise teams and choirs alike gravitated to the simple but powerful lyrical and melodic combination.
When TiffJoy's name was called instead of the industry vets she was mentioned with, some were probably like, "Who?!".. well, not folks from Chicago. For years we have been blessed to know and love the ministry of TiffJoy. Whether it was leading worship at a local church or working with her in the studio on some project, gospel music folks from Chicago have long seen this coming for TiffJoy. Today her name is all over the internets for taking home Song of the Year, and the folks from Chicago's gospel scene have a slight grin. It was only a matter of time before God's glory that is all over TiffJoy elevated her to national status.
She was definitely her meek self during her acceptance. It was really cute for me to see her up there in front of all of those people having to accept an award. This woman is truly anointed, but super humble. The irony in her personality is that TiffJoy as a person is rather quiet, but as a minister of the Gospel she transforms into someone BOLD. As she reminds listeners of the many super sweet promises in God's Word at the end of Amazing, that boldness shines through! She bears God's glory on her entire life in and out of the studio, on and off of the pulpit. This is very obvious when she ministers Amazing with Ricky Dillard and New G!
Congrats to TiffJoy and New G on taking home the State Farm Song of the Year Award at this year's Stellar;'s. We're looking for many more moments like this for this singer/songwriter!


Goals are not like dreams or prayers. You cannot just close your eyes and wish for it to happen. You have to do something. And often getting started is the hardest part.
You need to learn how to ignore distraction. Distractions like Facebook, Netflix or anything else your mind will create to avoid the task at hand.
Perhaps in a perfect world, no person would be subjected to distraction when trying to accomplish a goal. But this is reality, and distraction comes in all shapes and sizes.
So if you are ready to finally smash your goals then Take Action, Stay Focused, and Get Motivated!
Tip Number 1: Just Fn do it.
Sometimes, though, you have to listen to what your heart has to say and just do it.Everything else will be a lot easier once you get past the first hurdle – and that is to ignore your brain's dire warnings and go with your gut instinct.
Tip Number 3: Take baby steps.
Tip Number 5: Do not pressure yourself.
Tip Number 6: A little competition is good – just do not make a big deal out of it.
Tip Number 7: Always back yourself.
Tip Number 8: Get someone to do it for you.
Taking action may also mean finding the best person to do the job. So do not be shy to admit if something is well beyond your actual KSAs (knowledge, skills, and abilities). There are just some things in life that are better left in the hands of an expert. Websites like Upwork and Fiverr are great!
Tip Number 9: It is okay to start again.
Tip Number 10: Never stop trying!
As mentioned earlier on, the process of achieving one's goal is never ending. Taking action also means that you have to get back to your feet if you stumble or fall. It is even okay if you have to start all over again. In the end, what is critical is that you do not let your failures keep you from continuously taking action and moving forward. So go ahead and pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and learn from your mistakes. You will be a better and stronger person for doing this!
Tip Number 11: Have a back-up plan.
Tip Number 12: Do not be too rigid or stubborn.
Tip Number 13: Give yourself a reasonable deadline.
Tip Number 14: Be decisive.
Tip Number 15: Set a schedule.
Tip Number 16: Make it a habit.
Tip Number 17: No excuses!
Tip Number 18: Log out from all social networking and social messaging systems as well as Internet forums.
Tip Number 20: Take a time-out but time it!
Tip Number 21: Are You Sleeping Enough?
Tip Number 22: Enjoy what you are doing.
Tip Number 23: Do not allow emotional conflicts to get in your way.
Tip Number 24: Know your priorities.
If you are torn between doing two things, you have to give yourself another ultimatum. Which is the more important priority – the goal you are working on or the alternative? Be brutally honest to yourself as you consider your options. If you have to choose which of the two you should lose, which of them are you willing to give up?
Tip Number 25: Consider your energy patterns.
Tip Number 26: Chew things down into manageable pieces.
Now hopefully this cake metaphor hasn't made you hungry and you're still with me.
Tip Number 27: Make allowances for mistakes.
Tip Number 28: Remind yourself of the consequences.
Tip Number 29: Limit you email-checking to five minutes per hour.
Tip Number 30: Look for a role model.
Tip Number 31: Search for inspiration.
Tip Number 32: Do not fail to take advantage of the power of visualization.
The only difference between those who succeed and those who fail is that one will stop trying.

Whereas in countries such as Italy, Sweden, Canada and the Netherlands Smart Meters have already been widely installed, or their introduction has been decided upon, smart metering is also constantly gaining in importance in Germany – and the deployment of smart meters has now become a stated political objective.
Corresponding norms and safety requirements are currently being defined and smart metering is set to make the intelligent use of energy available both for suppliers and consumers. The principal objective is the development of intelligent networks and smart grids – all of which is unthinkable without smart metering.

Gwerdy Chat is a chat client which integrates with the Clickteam forum database of users is now ready for download in the form of a beta version.
For those that remember, the software is sort of a replacement for the old V-Chat programs. To use Gwerdy Chat download the file above and unzip the contents (ensure he directory structure is maintained). On the login screen enter your clickteam forum display name and password.
As this is a beta version some functionality has yet to be implemented, please report and bugs or problems in this thread or private message me.
Great use of the MDI if you ask me.
Regarding: "On the login screen enter your clickteam forum display name and password."
I am not going to enter my clickteam forum info on a application that could VERY well just send the data to a secret IMI file or somehwere else. I basicly use the same password for everyhting and I am not going to leak it in a program that I can't choose my own unsername or password to.
It's specifically for Clickteam, but it has features similar to IRC.
Reno: The password is not submitted for the login check, an MD5 hash of it is.
If you select so on the title screen the password can be stored in the local settings.ini file to speed up login time if you want to. Feel free to change the password on the CT forum to something you dont use any place else.
Chrisbo: Its design is similar to IRC but it is not an IRC client, in fact it uses Moo Click.
It is a great chat program. I was afraid to put in my username and password at first.
But i went for it and it was great there were loads of people on it! I'm voting GOTW for this!
I had to force an update for a security fix, if you have already downloaded and can no longer connect please redownload from the same link.
Works well! I like it.
It works well though I wouldn't use it.
Eww.. it looks very windowish like..
Sorry, if i hate the interface i can't simply use it.

The role of isolation transformers is to transmit electrical power to a device from a power source. Technically, all transformers can be defined as an isolation transformer, due to the fact that all transformers use the process of induction to convert electricity, as opposed to the use of a conductor. However, the main characteristic that sets isolation transformers apart from other categories is that they are designed to isolate electricity, or isolate the device from the power source. Numerous applications utilize isolation transformers. These applications include uninterrupted power supplies (UPS), test and measurement systems, robotics, motor controls, light fixtures, medical electronics, industrial control panels, data communications, avionics, and audio systems.
A complex series of different types of transformers are used to safely and efficiently transmit electricity from power plants to the power outlets different buildings. While high-voltage transformers are used to lower the voltage to a level suitable for homes and businesses, and power transformers assist in the distribution of electricity for use in electronic devices, isolation transformers are not used to alter the voltage level. They rather separate two conductive elements within a transmission system, and allow for controlled electrical transmission all while eliminating unwanted electrical discharge in the process. In everyday handheld consumer devices such as electric shavers and hair dryers, isolation transformers are necessary for these devices to run safely.
Since their invention, isolation transformers have played a pivotal role in increasing the safety of numerous electronic devices. Isolation transformers are able to prevent unwanted electrical discharge. Unwanted discharge can be dangerous, especially in devices such as electric shavers and hair dryers which are commonly used near sinks. Fortunately, the use of isolation transformers greatly minimizes this risk. The medical industry uses isolation transformers extensively in their equipment, as medical equipment is highly sensitive, and even the slightest bit of interference could pose a significant risk for the well-being of patients and medical employees. Isolation transformers are utilized to carefully regulate the amount of electricity that is used to power devices such as patient monitoring equipment, hospital beds, medical lab equipment, dental chairs, and electric powered dental tools.
Furthermore, isolation transformers can substitute for an isolated ground circuit, and they are capable of eliminating noise. Standalone isolation transformers have the ability to remove common mode noise. As stated before, an isolation transformer does not change the voltage. Instead, they have the ability to "shield" a device from electromagnetic noise that could be generated by stepping voltage or the fluctuation of electric current. Unwanted discharge is regulated by way of a process known as galvanic isolation. Galvanic isolation is the electrical and physical isolation from an input power circuit. Galvanic isolation does not prevent an electrically transmissive system from carrying out its usual functions. Rather, it still allows for the transfer of electrically charged particles using means such as induction. Examples of applications whose transformers utilize galvanic isolation in its electric transmissions include personal computers. International safety agencies require every personal computer to have galvanic isolation between the input power source and the structure of the computer itself in order to prevent electric shock. The installation of an isolation transformer within a computer can greatly reduce the computer's intake of common mode noise. A disadvantage of an isolation transformer, however, is that it can generate extra heat which may shorten the computer's battery life if the transformer is close to where the batteries are located.
One configuration that an isolation transformer can be found in is toroidal, or donut-shaped. Toroid transformers have several advantages, including its light weight and compact size, which allow for it to be included in numerous applications. The windings of a toroidal transformer run through the center of its core, and is thus evenly distributed throughout the device. The core can be constructed from silicon iron or nickel-iron alloy. Amorphous alloys and powdered iron are a wiser choice of core material for higher frequency applications. Furthermore, toroidal transformers have the ability to minimize stray field radiation and audible noise. To further reduce stray magnetic fields, toroidal isolation transformers can be equipped with a metal band. For devices such as patient monitoring machines that leave little allowance for interference, additional insulation may be added to an isolation transformer. There are many other configurations of isolation transformers that are available. Thus, it is recommended that you consult a transformer manufacturer. Some manufacturers offer a variety of both standard and custom designed isolation transformers to ensure all of their customer's needs are met, and that the desired pieces of equipment can run efficiently and safely.

A Fascinating History of Electric Transformers
Contrary to the popular notion, electric transformers have applications other than increasing and decreasing voltage. They are extensively used as an impedance transferring device, isolation transformers are used to isolate different circuits, and a device that prevents direct current from passing. Apparently, transformers did not become versatile in a short span, they have a long history. To explore any equipment and its working, there is no better way than exploring its history.
Therefore, we are outlining the history of transformers.
The principle on which electric transformers work was first provided by Michael Faraday in the end of 19th century. He was a scientist from England who contributed extensively to electrochemistry and electromagnetism. Many electrical devices that we see in the modern era, more or less, employ his discoveries and concepts. However, some historians give credit to Joseph Henry for proposing the operating principle of transformers. However, Henry's idea was published later, therefore, Faraday still is considered a better authority on transformers. He said current flowing in the coils produces a magnetic field, which later was distilled as Faraday law of induction, describing the relationship between the voltage or electro motive force and magnetic flux.
To prove the theory, he conducted numerous experiments and made the first closed core transformer by linking two coils around an iron core and inducing a magnetic flux. Until then, induction coils were not invented.
It was an Irish scientist, Nicholas Callan, who first made induction coils and used them to make electric transformers, though used for direct current applications. However, more than his invention, his observation regarding the relationship between the number of turns on coil and voltage produced, pushed the technology forward.
Until then, research was more focused on direct current than alternating current; therefore, it was only in the 1870s, the first working alternating current transformers were invented.
Later in the 19th century, a Russian made a functional electric transformer, who used an induction coil to light up electric candles. His intention was different, but he, like many other inventions, ended up making an alternating current transformers. Soon, open iron core transformers were invented in England, however, the efficiency made them inoperable most of the time.
At that time, there was a great debate among scientist about the use of alternating current over direct current. There were two factions, both convinced that their electric current would pass the test of time. The debate was dubbed as the war of currents, and with the advent of closed core electric transformers and parallel distribution of power, the war was settled for once and all. The alternating current became mainstream source for lighting bulbs and powering equipment, and since the alternating current has maintained its position.
Almost at the end of 19th century, the first closed core electric transformers were patented, and then the battle between the Westinghouse and Edison electric company ensued for the rights of transformers. However, the battle gave the world efficient transformers that we see everyday either at poles or in circuits.

Q: Result is valid if we change $0$ by $a \in \mathbb{R}^*$? Suppose that $f$ is 2-differentiable and that $\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} (f(x)+f'(x)+f''(x))=0$. Show that $\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) =0$.
My question is: result is valid if we change $0$ by $a \in \mathbb{R}^*$?

A: The most difficult is to show the result, since for the generalization, if we take
$f\in \mathcal C^2(\mathbb R)$ such that $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to +\infty}f(x)+f'(x)+f''(x)=a$ then
considering $g(x):=f(x)-a$ we get that $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to +\infty}g(x)+g'(x)+g''(x)=0$ since
$g'(x)=f'(x)$ and $g''(x)=f''(x)$, hence applying the previous case we have
$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to +\infty}g(x)=0$, therefore $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to +\infty}f(x)=a$.
To show the result, we can write $f(x)+f'(x)+f''(x)=\varepsilon(x)$ where $\varepsilon$
is a continuous function such that $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to+\infty}\varepsilon(x)=0$. We will
solve this differential equation. Note that the solutions of the homogenous equation are given by $Ae^{jx}+Be^{\bar j x}$ where $j$ is a complex number such that $j^2+j+1=0$ and $A$ and $B$ are constants. Now, we will try to find a particular solution of the equation. We will try the form $u(x)=A(x)e^{jx}$. Then we should
have $u''(x)+u'(x)+u(x)=\varepsilon(x)$, hence
$$A''(x)e^{jx}+2A'(x)je^{jx}+A(x)j^2e^{jx}+A'x)e^{jx}+A(x)je^{jx}+A(x)e^{jx}=
\varepsilon(x)$$
and $A''(x)+(2j+1)A'(x)+(j^2+j+1)A(x)=e^{-jx}\varepsilon(x)$, so
$A''(x)+(2j+1)A'(x)=e^{-jx}\varepsilon(x)$. We put $B(x):=A'(x)$. We have
$B'(x)e^{(2j+1)x}+(2j+1)e^{(2j+1)x}B(x)=e^{-jx}\varepsilon(x)$, so
$\displaystyle B(x)e^{(2j+1)x}=\int_0^xe^{-jt}\varepsilon(t)dt$ and
$A'(x)=e^{-(2j+1)x}\int_0^xe^{-jt}\varepsilon(t)dt$, hence we can choose
$$A(x)=\int_0^xe^{-(2j+1)s}\int_0^se^{-jt}\varepsilon(t)dtds$$ and finally
$$f(x)=C_1e^{jx}+C_2e^{\bar jx}+e^{jx}\int_0^xe^{-(2j+1)s}\int_0^se^{-jt}\varepsilon(t)dtds.$$
Since $\displaystyle\operatorname{Re}j=\frac 12$, we have $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to +\infty}C_1e^{jx}+C_2e^{\bar jx}=0$ and we have to show that the limit of
$\displaystyle u(x):=e^{jx}\int_0^xe^{-(2j+1)s}\int_0^se^{-jt}\varepsilon(t)dtds$ is $0$.
We have
\begin{align*}
|u(x)|&\leq e^{-x/2}\int_0^x\int_0^xe^{t/2}|\varepsilon(x)|dtds\\
&=e^{-x/2}\left(\left[s\int_0^se^{t/2}|\varepsilon(x)|dt\right]_{s=0}^{s=x}
-\int_0^x se^{s/2}|\varepsilon(s)|ds\right)\\
&=e^{-x/2}\int_0^x(x-t)e^{t/2}|\varepsilon(t)|dt\\
&=\int_0^xse^{-s/2}|\varepsilon(x-s)|ds.
\end{align*}
Now, we fix $\delta>0$. Let $x_0$ such that for all $x\geq x_0$ we have
$|\varepsilon(x)|\leq \delta$. For $x\geq x_0$ we have
\begin{align*}
|u(x)|&\leq \int_0^{x-x_0}se^{-s/2}|\varepsilon(x-s)|ds+
\int_{x-x_0}^xse^{-s/2}|\varepsilon(x-s)|ds\\
&\leq \delta \int_0^{x-x_0}se^{-s/2}ds+e^{-x/2}\int_0^{x_0}e^{t/2}
|\varepsilon(t)|dt\\
&\leq \delta \int_0^{+\infty}se^{-s/2}ds+e^{-x/2}\int_0^{x_0}e^{t/2}
|\varepsilon(t)|dt.
\end{align*}
We get that $\displaystyle\limsup_{x\to +\infty}|u(x)|\leq \delta \int_0^{+\infty}se^{-s/2}ds$
for all $\delta>0$ hence $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to +\infty}u(x)=0$ and we are done.
I guess there is a more elegant way.
We note that we can show that if $f\in\mathcal C^1(\mathbb R)$ and $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to +\infty}f(x)+f'(x)=0$ then $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to +\infty}=0$. We use a similar method and the computation is simpler. Note that we can have a result of the form "If $f\in\mathcal C^n(\mathbb R)$ and $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to +\infty}\sum_{k=0}^nf^{(j)}(x)=0$ then $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to +\infty}f(x)=0$" for $n\geq 3$. Indeed, we have that $\displaystyle f(x):=\exp(e^{\frac{2\pi i}n}x)$ is a solution of $\sum_{k=0}^nf^{(j)}(x)=0$, but since $\operatorname{Re}e^{\frac{2\pi i}n}\geq 0$ we can't have $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to +\infty}f(x)=0$.

Boca Raton's Caldwell Theatre Faces Chapter 11
BOCA RATON (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — The Caldwell Theatre Company in Boca Raton is planning to file for bankruptcy as early as this week in order to fend off an attempt by creditors to foreclose on the venue.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, the theatre's plan to file for bankruptcy protection comes after one of the theatres creditors Legacy Bank filed a request with a Palm Beach County circuit judge to appoint a receiver to oversee the venue's finances.
The non-profit theatre group who operate the Caldwell has struggled to pay down the debt on the new $10 million which opened in 2007. That debt includes a $5.6 million mortgage from Legacy Bank.
"It [The Theatre] has had a history of problems from the inception of this note, with payments being delayed for months at a time," Michael Moskowitz, an attorney for Legacy Bank told the Sentinel. According to Moskowitz, Legacy has modified the mortgage three times in order to give the Caldwell some breathing room.
"We would like to work with them, but this has been a constant, ongoing thing," Moskowitz added.
Despite the financial trouble, the Caldwell intends to soldier onwards and plans to continue operations for the foreseeable future.
"The theater will be putting its money where its mouth is. It is the theater's absolute intention to honor all subscriptions and continue operating seamlessly," Bradley Shraiberg, an attorney representing the theatre told the Sentinel. "The strong survive." – CelebrityAccess Staff Writers

The online education firm wants to teach people to code with less hassle and more hands-on time.
Tucked inside one of Coursera's 1,500 online classes, there's a multiple choice quiz that's not like the others.
Instead of just asking questions and expecting answers, each challenge includes a text box with a "Run" button next to it. Here, you're expected to enter the appropriate code in the SQL programming language, so you can grab the database information you need to make the correct choice.
Essentially, Coursera has condensed an entire coding environment into a series of boxes on a web page. The hope is that computer science and data science classes will become much more interactive, with the ability to play with your own code in the middle of a reading assignment, video lecture, or quiz.
In-browser coding is not a novel concept, and Coursera is hardly the first educational resource to take advantage. Other services such as Code Academy, Treehouse, and Khan Academy also allow users to write and run their own code on a web page as part of their lessons.
Coursera says its offering is different because the lessons aren't created in-house. Instead, the company has built what it describes as a platform for its university instructors to build programming challenges on their own.
"We'll have a thousand flowers blooming out of this, and we can't really control it, so we need to be able to build a powerful engine to let all of our instructors plug into this in the different ways that they want to," Willerer says.
In a demo, Coursera showed how an instructor might scatter interactive coding boxes throughout a single page of reading material. The company says teachers can also insert coding pop-ups into their video lectures. In the background, Coursera uses page prediction to start loading each coding environment before the user gets to it. That could help as Coursera adds slow-loading languages such as Apache Spark.
As for language support, Coursera is starting off with Python, SQL, and Scala, but the company says it can add a new programming language in as little as a day or two. That's because the interface for instructors and students is already set up. Coursera just has to add the necessary interpreters, compilers, and error handling for each language it wants to include, along with a way for teachers to select that language as they create their coding blocks.
The system could also be applied to fields like photography and user interface design.
"We want to enable teachers to be able to come in and plug into a sophisticated engine to teach whatever language at whatever complexity they want to teach," Willerer says.
Over time, Coursera imagines it'll be able to use the data that students are entering into those programming fields to personalize the learning process for students and give better feedback to instructors.
Although computer science and data science are Coursera's "sweet spots" according to Willerer, the company believes its new platform might eventually have applications beyond programming.
One example: Coursera could add a grammar-parsing tool for human languages to help people master concepts like business English. "We've got a lot of language-learning courses on our platform, and you could imagine those becoming more interactive, just like the code is, when you have to write something," Willerer says.
The system may not even be limited to languages in the future. It could also be applied to fields like photography and user interface design, with algorithms that recognize proper placement of an image.
There's no timeframe for those developments, but Willerer says the company is holding a "make-a-thon" next week, where employees can work on passion projects. He's hoping some engineers will start to experiment with the platform and come up with some novel uses.
In the meantime, Coursera is offering a handful of courses with the new programming tools, and hopes to have several hundred available over the next year.
