Intel has teased its latest MXC format, which will combine silicon photonics and a new form of Corning fiber, which will see servers linked at an incredible 1.6Tbps.
The chipmaker is using connectors that are very small, but Intel won't talk about MXC anymore until the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco next month. We can expect supercomputer operators to be on the floor, with huge smiles on their faces. We will be posting all sorts of news during IDF, so be sure to check back soon!

State of Colorado Sanctions Ben & Jerry's Parent Co $42M Over Israel Boycott
By Gil Tanenbaum/TPS • 21 March, 2022
Jerusalem, 21 March, 2022 (TPS) — The State of Colorado has decided to divest its state pension funds from Unilever Global, the parent company of Ben & Jerry's. This makes Colorado just the latest American state to do so in response to Ben & Jerry's decision to boycott Israel. And the Knesset will hold a special session on Wednesday to consider extending Israel's anti-boycott laws to be used to also sanction Unilever.
The Colorado State Pension Fund will dump as much as $42 million worth of Unilever shares.
In July of 2021, the Ben & Jerry's ice cream company announced that it would not extend licensing for its product to the Israeli company that holds the franchise in Israel. The decision came after the Israeli company refused Ben & Jerry's demand that it end any sales of its products in any Israeli towns in Judea and Samaria, and even in parts of Jerusalem.
In response to the news, Avi Singer, the CEO of Ben & Jerrys Israel, said, "I am excited about the worldwide backing and the addition of the State of Colorado to the list of states that impose immediate and painful sanctions against Unilever, which is fully responsible for the boycott. And will implement what it demands of the world."
The state of Colorado is just the latest in a number of US states that have moved to divest themselves from Unilever. New York, Florida and New Jersey are just some of the US states that have already made the same moves and 33 states have laws prohibiting doing state business with any company that boycotts Israel.
And last December seven state treasurers from seven different US states signed a letter that called on Unilever to reverse its decision to boycott Israel. The states included Arizona, Idaho, Oklahoma, Nebraska, West Virginia, Louisiana and Mississippi.
Earlier this month, Ben & Jerry's Israel filed a lawsuit in the United States against Unilever Global. The suit charges that the move to boycott Israel violates US law.
"Your demand that Avi Singer not sell in parts of Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria is contrary to Israeli and American law," says the suit which seeks to force Unilever to allow Singer to continue to manufacture and distribute Ben & Jerry's products throughout the State of Israel.
"The demand was in and of itself a violation by [the] Defendants of Israel law, US anti-boycott policy and policies of the States of New Jersey, New York and many other states," says the lawsuit "The only reason for non-renewal was Plaintiff's refusal to carry out Defendants unlawful demand. A Party to a contract, especially the one with outsized bargaining power, cannot lawfully or in good with coercing the weaker party into violating the laws a condition of maintaining the contract."
"Defendants are liable egos wrongful termination, for breach of the License Agreement, for breach of the implied covenant of good and with and fair dealing," says the suit against Unilever and Ben & Jerry's.
The Knesset's Constitution Committee will convene on Wednesday to hold a special discussion on the matter, in spite of the fact that the full Knesset has already gone into its spring recess for Passover. The committee will consider a vote on the approval of adding an amendment to Israel's current law that sanctions any company that boycotts the country which will allow for such regulations to be used against Unilever.
Avi Singer sent a letter to the committee's members asking them to approve the new regulations.
"The helplessness in the face of a company that is taking boycott measures, harms Israel's deterrent power and will lead not only fatal damage to Ben & Jerry's Israel, but also to many other businesses in the future," he wrote. "I address you on my behalf and on behalf of 169 employees of the Ben & Jerrys Israel factory which is located in the periphery, and on behalf of hundreds of other families who make a living from the factory and may be harmed upon termination of the contract. In your power to help me and the workers of the factory and strengthen the deterrent power of Israel. Approve the boycott law and allow the State of Israel to repay the boycotting society as a reward. "

\section{Introduction}
It is known that many integrable by the inverse scattering method nonlinear
systems  possess infinitely many higher symmetries. And vice versa, if a
nonlinear system admits higher symmetries then it is integrable as a rule.
Therefore, search of the higher symmetries is one of the  methods for the
classification of nonlinear integrable systems. In this report we deal with
the higher local symmetries for the string-like two-dimensional scalar fields:
\begin{equation}
L=(1/2)g_{\alpha\beta}(u)u^\alpha_x u^\beta_t +f(u).         \label{eq:1}
\end{equation}
Here\ $f$\ and\ $g_{\alpha\beta} = g_{\beta\alpha}$\ are some differentiable
functions, $\alpha=1,\dots,m$, and\ $\det(g_{\alpha\beta})\neq0$. Summation
over the repeated indices is implied throughout the article. The field
equations take the following form
\begin{equation}
u^\alpha_{xt}+\Gamma^\alpha_{\nu\mu}(u)u^\nu_x u^\mu_t=f^\alpha(u),\label{eq:2}
\end{equation}
where\ $\Gamma^\alpha_{\nu\mu}$\ are the Christoffel symbols for the metric
\ $g_{\alpha\beta},\ f^\alpha=g^{\alpha\beta}f_\beta,\
f_\alpha=\partial_\alpha f=\partial f/\partial u^\alpha$. We assume that the
Riemann tensor
$$
R^\alpha_{\nu\beta\mu}=\partial_\beta\Gamma^\alpha_{\nu\mu}-
\partial_\mu\Gamma^\alpha_{\nu\beta}+\Gamma^\alpha_{\beta\lambda}
\Gamma^\lambda_{\mu\nu}-\Gamma^\alpha_{\mu\lambda}\Gamma^\lambda_{\beta\nu}
$$
of the configurational space {\Bbb V}$_m$ does not vanish. The higher
symmetries and higher conservation laws for the the systems (\ref{eq:2})
were studied in \cite{Get} and \cite{M}. In the first article the polynomial
conserved densities of the system (\ref{eq:2}) in {\Bbb V}$_2$ were calculated
and all corresponding systems (\ref{eq:2}) were found. In the article \cite{M}
the structure of the polynomial higher symmetries of the system (\ref{eq:2})
in {\Bbb V}$_m$ was investigated, and it was proved that the systems
(\ref{eq:2}) in {\Bbb V}$_2$ admiting the polynomial higher symmetries are the
same as in \cite{Get}. Moreover some preliminary results were obtained for
the reducible space {\Bbb V}$_3$ ($u^\alpha=\{u,v,w\}$):
\begin{equation}
d s^2=d u^2+ 2 \psi(v, w) dv dw                                 \label{eq:3}
\end{equation}
Here we present the systems (\ref{eq:2}) in the space (\ref{eq:3}) admiting
Lie-B\"acklund symmetries of the 3rd, 4th and 5th-order.
\section{General consideration}
Writing out the defining equation for the Lie-B\"acklund symmetries (see
\cite{Ibr}, for example), one can rewrite it in the following matrix form:
\begin{equation}
  (VW + \Phi)\sigma =0.                                          \label{eq:4}
\end{equation}
Here\ $\sigma$\ is the Lie--B\"acklund vector field (the symmetry),
$\Phi^\alpha_\beta=R^\alpha_{\nu\beta\mu}u^\mu_1 u^\nu_2-f^\alpha_{;\beta}$,
and
\begin{equation}
V^\alpha_\beta=\delta^\alpha_\beta D_x +\Gamma^\alpha_{\beta\nu}u^\nu_x,\quad
W^\alpha_\beta=\delta^\alpha_\beta D_t
+\Gamma^\alpha_{\beta\nu}u^\nu_t.                                \label{eq:5}
\end{equation}
The semicolon denotes the covariant differentiation on\ {\Bbb V}$_m$. Symbols
$D_x$ and $D_t$ are the total differentiation operators, for example,
$$
D_x F(x,\,u,\,u_x,\,u_t)=\frac{\partial F}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial F}
{\partial u^\alpha}u^\alpha_x+\frac{\partial F}
{\partial u^\alpha_x}u^\alpha_{xx}+\frac{\partial F}
{\partial u^\alpha_t}(f^\alpha-\Gamma^\alpha_{\nu\mu}u^\nu_x u^\mu_t).
$$

Let us consider the manifold {\efb M} on the jet space corresponding to the
system (\ref{eq:2}). It is obvious that quantities $t,\,x,\,u^{\alpha}_i=\partial_x^i
u^\alpha$ and $\tilde u^\alpha_j=\partial_t^j u^\alpha$ are independent
variables on {\efb M}, and quantities $u^\alpha_{i,j}=\partial_x^i
\partial_t^j u^\alpha$ are dependent.

One of the authors proved earlier \cite{M} the following statements:\\[1mm]
{\bf Theorem 1} {\it Any symmetry $\sigma$\ of the system (\ref{eq:2})
independing on $x, t$\ takes the following form:
$$
\sigma(u,\tilde u)=\tau(u)+\omega(\tilde u),
$$
where the vector fields\ $\tau$\ and\ $\omega$\ satisfy the following
equations:
$$
A_\nu(u)\tau^\alpha+R^\alpha_{\beta\gamma\nu}u^\beta_1\tau^\gamma
=p^\alpha_\nu(u_0)-h^\alpha_{\beta\nu}(u_0)u^\beta_1,\quad
B(u)\tau^\alpha-f^\alpha_{;\gamma}\tau^\gamma=q^\alpha_\nu(u_0)
u^\nu_1-g^\alpha (u_0),
$$$$
A_\nu(\tilde u)\omega^\alpha+R^\alpha_{\beta\gamma\nu}\tilde u^\beta_1
\omega^\gamma=h^\alpha_{\nu\beta}(u_0)\tilde
u^\beta_1-q^\alpha_\nu(u_0),\quad
B(\tilde u)\omega^\alpha-f^\alpha_{;\gamma}\omega^\gamma=g^\alpha (u_0)-
p^\alpha_\nu(u_0)\tilde u^\nu_1,
$$
where $A_\nu$  and $B$ are some linear differential operators.}\\[1mm]
{\bf Theorem 2} {\it  If $\sigma(u,\tilde u)=\tau(u)+\omega(\tilde u)$ is a polynomial of
$u_i$ and $\tilde u_i$, then $\tau(u)$ and $\omega(\tilde u)$ are independent
symmetries.}

 Therefore we may investigate $\tau(u)$ only.\\[1mm]
{\bf Theorem 3} {\it  If the system (\ref{eq:2}) admits the polynomial symmetry $\tau(u)$, then it
admits the homogeneous polynomial symmetries:
\begin{equation}
\tau(u)=a^\alpha_\beta u^\beta_n+A^\alpha_{\beta\gamma}u^\beta_{n-1}
u^\gamma_1+(B^\alpha_{\beta\gamma}u^\gamma_2+C^\alpha_{\beta\nu\gamma}
u^\nu_1 u^\gamma_1)u^\beta_{n-2}+\dots ,                       \label{eq:6}
\end{equation}
where the coefficients depend on the variables $u^\nu$ only.}\\[1mm]
{\bf Theorem 4} {\it  If the symmetry (\ref{eq:6}) is admited, then the
following system
\begin{equation}
a^\alpha_{\beta;\gamma}=0,\quad
X^\alpha_{\beta\gamma;\nu}=a^\alpha_\sigma R^\sigma_{\beta\gamma\nu},\quad
Y^\alpha_{\beta\gamma;\nu}=a^\sigma_\beta R^\alpha_{\gamma\nu\sigma},
                                          \label{eq:7}
\end{equation}
must be solvable.}\\[1mm]
Here the tensors $X$ and $Y$ depend on the coefficients $A$ and $B$ from
(\ref{eq:6}). We have not the general solution of the system (\ref{eq:7}) for
any {\Bbb V}$_m$. But the case of {\Bbb V}$_2$ is investigated
completely.\\[1mm]
{\bf Theorem 5} {\it There are two and only two spaces {\Bbb V}$_2$ where
the system (\ref{eq:7}) has the nontrivial solution. They have the following
metrics
\begin{equation}
(a)\quad d s^2=2 \frac{dv dw}{vw+c},\quad
(b)\quad d s^2=2 \frac{dv dw}{v+w},                     \label{eq:8}
\end{equation}
where $c\ne0$ is a constant.}\\[1mm]
{\bf Theorem 6} {\it  System (\ref{eq:7}) has the nontrivial solution in the reducible space
{\Bbb V}$_3$ if and only if the two-dimensional part of the metric (\ref{eq:3})
is one of the metric (\ref{eq:8}).}
\section{Systems admiting higher symmetries}
In accordance with the results of the section 2 we are going to consider
the field models with the following Lagrangian
\begin{equation}
L=1/2\left[ u_t u_x+ \psi(v,w)(v_t w_x+v_x w_t)\right]+f(u,v,w),\label{eq:9}
\end{equation}
where $\psi=(v w+c)^{-1}$ or $\psi=(v+w)^{-1}$. The field equations take
the following form:
\begin{equation}
u_{tx}=f_u,\ \ v_{tx}=(f_w-\psi_v v_t v_x)/\psi,\ \
w_{tx}=(f_v-\psi_w w_t w_x)/\psi,                           \label{eq:10}
\end{equation}
where the subscripts of $f$ and $\psi$ denote the partial derivatives.

Let us mention from the first, that any system (\ref{eq:10}) where $\psi$ is
arbitrary function, $f=g(v,w)\exp(k u),\,k=const$, and $g$ is arbitrary
function, admits the following higher symmertry:
$$
\sigma^u=(D_x+k u_1) F,\ \ \sigma^v=k v_1 F,\ \ \sigma^w=k w_1 F,\ \
D_t F=0.
$$
The equation $D_t F=0$ is the unique constraint for $F$. It admits
infinitely many solutions and the simplest integral takes the following form:
$$
F=u_2-k \psi v_1 w_1-(k/2) u_1^2.
$$
It is obvious that arbitrary function $\Phi(x,F, D_x F, D_x^2 F,\dots)$
is the integral too. But there exist another integrals with higher order
that are not expressed by the above formula. All these symmetries do not
lead to the integrability and we shall not consider them below. Moreover
we did not consider the case $f(u,v,w)=f_1(u)+f_2(v,w)$ as the independent
equation appear in the system (\ref{eq:10}). Calculations of the higher symmetries
are very cumbersome therefore we used the computer, and we did not calculate
the symmetries with the order more than 5.

There are no the systems (\ref{eq:10}) admiting the 2nd-order symmetry.
If $\psi=(v+w)^{-1}$ then the system (\ref{eq:10}) does not also admit
nontrivial symmetries of the 3rd, 4th or 5th order.

If $\psi=(v w+c)^{-1}$, then the following general form of the 3rd-order
symmetry follows from the equation (\ref{eq:4}):
\begin{eqnarray}
&\sigma^u =& a_1 u_3+(v_2 w_1 c_2+c_3 w_2 v_1) \psi+c_6 u_1^3+
c_7 \psi u_1 v_1 w_1-\psi^2 c_3 w v_1^2 w_1-\psi^2 c_2 v v_1
w_1^2,\nonumber\\[1mm]
&\sigma^v =& a_2 v_3+u_2 c_4 v_1+v_2 (c_5 u_1-3 a_2 v \psi w_1)+
u_1^2 c_8 v_1\nonumber\\[1mm]
&&-2 c_5 v \psi u_1 v_1 w_1+ c_9 \psi v_1^2 w_1+3 a_2 v^2 \psi^2 v_1
w_1^2,\nonumber\\[1mm]
&\sigma^w =& a_2 w_3+u_2 (c_4-c_5) w_1-w_2 (c_5 u_1+3 a_2 w \psi v_1)+
u_1^2 c_8 w_1                                                \nonumber\\[1mm]
&&+2 w c_5 \psi u_1 v_1 w_1+3 w^2 \psi^2 a_2 v_1^2 w_1
+c_9 \psi v_1 w_1^2,                                           \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
where $a_i$ and $c_i$ are constants. Substituting these functions into the
equation (\ref{eq:4}) we obtained about 60 equations for the function $f$.
Here is the solutions:
\begin{eqnarray}
f&=&   a v \exp(\sqrt{2}u)+b  w \exp(-\sqrt{2}u),             \label{eq:11}\\
f&=& a   v^2 \exp(2u)+ b   w^2 \exp(-2u),                \label{eq:12}  \\
f&=& a   v^2 \exp(2u)+ b   w \exp(-u),                    \label{eq:13} \\
f&=&a v \exp(u)+b w \exp(-u),                                \label{eq:14}\\
f&=& (vw+ {c}/{2})[a \exp(\sqrt{2}u)+b \exp(-\sqrt{2}u)],   \label{eq:15}\\
f&=&a (vw+{c}/{2})\exp(\sqrt{2}u)+b \exp(-\sqrt{2}u),       \label{eq:16}\\
f&=&a (vw+{c}/{2})\exp(\sqrt{2}u)+b \exp(-2 \sqrt{2}u).     \label{eq:17}
\end{eqnarray}

The system (\ref{eq:10}) corresponding to the function (\ref{eq:13}) admits
2-parametric 3th-order symmetry with arbitrary $a_1$ and $a_2$. Other
systems admits unique 3rd-order symmetry, with $a_2\ne0$. But when $a=0$ or
$b=0$, then an additional 3rd-order symmetry appear for each system.
Two systems corresponding to the functions (\ref{eq:14}) and (\ref{eq:16})
admit the 4th-order symmetry.

The system (\ref{eq:10}) corresponding to the function (\ref{eq:11}) with
$b=0$ admits the 7-parametric 5th-order symmetry and does not admit it when
$a b\ne0$. The systems (\ref{eq:10}) corresponding to the functions
(\ref{eq:12}), (\ref{eq:14}) or (\ref{eq:16}) with $b=0$ admit the
4-parametric 5th-order symmetries and do not admit them when $a b\ne0$.
The system (\ref{eq:10}) corresponding to the function (\ref{eq:16}) with
$ab\ne0$ admits the unique 5th-order symmetry. Besides there are only two
new systems admiting the 5th-order symmetries.
The systems (\ref{eq:10}) corresponding to the functions
\begin{equation}
f=a (v^2 w +2 v c/3)\exp(\sqrt{2} u),                          \label{eq:18}
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
f=a v \exp(\sqrt{2/3} u)                                       \label{eq:19}
\end{equation}
admit the 2-parametric 5th-order symmetries.

We believe that the systems corresponding to the functions (\ref{eq:11}) --
(\ref{eq:19}) are integrable by the inverse scattering method and we are going
to find the zero curvature representations for these systems.

Wrestling trophy just whets Miyamura girls' appetitee
Special to the Times | Curtis Ray Benally
Miyamura's Yele Aycock attempts to turn over Cleveland's Samantha Tuttle in the second round during the 131 lbs. match on Friday, Jan. 25, at the 1st Annual Girls Wrestling Tournament at Aztec High School.
Posted by Sunnie R. Clahchischiligi | Jan 31, 2019 | Wrestling |
After winning the school's first-ever girl's wrestling state title, the Miyamura High School Patriots are hungry for more.
The Lady Patriots made history last season when they brought home the team's first state title in the sport after winning big in the first-ever New Mexico high school girls' wrestling championship tournament.
Miyamura head coach Ozzy Guerrero said the team is as hungry as ever for a second-straight title.
"It's definitely driven them," he said. "It seems like they're actually pushing themselves more in the wrestling room, and they know they do have a target on their backs. So far it's looking pretty good."
The team has shown that they plan to be right in the mix during the state tournament. Last year they had four members compete in the state tournament and this year they have seven team members looking for a chance to help bring home the title again.
Guerrero said the numbers have increased thanks to the success the girls' team had last season.
"This year we had seven girls and last year we had four … This year we're looking to do just as good as we did with four but with more girls," he said. "The school is actually working on getting us a banner for the girls, which is really exciting … Hopefully that will bring our numbers up."
So far, the team is doing as well as its coach had anticipated.
At least three returning state competitors have returned to the team, two of whom were named state champions.
The team competed in the inaugural Aztec Girls' Wrestling Tournament last Friday and won as a team with 67 points. Aztec came in second with 40 points and Belen in third with 23.
The team had four individual tournament winners: freshman Kaylen Leleiwi won at 110, sophomore Yele Aycock won at 131, junior Nancy Rodriguez won at 160, and sophomore Shandiin Largo at 185.

Q: Meaning of dx, dy, du (u-substitution) I understand the meaning of $\frac{dy}{dx}$ and $\int f(x)dx$, but outside of that what do $dy, du, dx$ etc.. mean?
When I took calc I, derivatives and integrals were given a definition, but these things were kind of skipped over. When we started using du substitution we had to start using them but they were still never really explained.
Can somebody explain what they are at a basic level without assuming knowledge beyond calculus I?
I understand how to use them for du substitution, but I always feel a bit unsure why I'm doing what I'm doing. It feels like professors/textbooks are reluctant to explain this. I'm not sure if that's because it's a more advanced topic or if I just missed something.

A: This is a common problem with Leibniz's notation; people often treat the "$dx$" as something that can be moved around as though it were a variable, and $\frac{dy}{dx}$ as a fraction, rather than as a symbol denoting one singular quantity. The other issues I have with this is the (arguably) premature use of $\int f(x)\,dx$ to denote antiderivatives (i.e. indefinite integrals) before the notion of $\int_{a}^{b}f(x)\,dx$ is introduced as the limit of Riemann sums (i.e. the definite integral.) These similar notations are used to denote seemingly disparate ideas in calculus that are only truly reconciled through the Fundamental Theorem(s) of Calculus. That being said, I'm not surprised you're a bit confused. Let me try to clarify things a bit more...

Derivatives:
First off, let's start with the derivative. This is commonly referred to as an "instantaneous rate of change", which is a complete oxymoron. It is actually the limit of the average rate of change, as taken over ever-shrinking intervals of "time" (or position, etc.) Formally, we say the derivative of the function $f$ at the value $a$ is the limit
$$
f'(a) := \lim_{x\to a}\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a},
$$
and is notated $f'(a)$ for convenience. Since the function $f$ depends on a variable (here we call that variable $x$), then the Leibniz notation for the derivative at $x=a$ is written
$$
\frac{df}{dx}(a).
$$
The "$df$" part is to tell the reader that the function being derived is $f$; while the "$dx$" part is to remind us what variable the derivative is being taken with respect to -- in this case $x$. The "$(a)$" part is telling you that the derivative is being taken at the real number $a$, in the domain of $f$.
Since the derivative can (usually) be taken at many different values of the domain, we naturally extend the idea of the derivative at a point to the notion of the derivate as a function. This gives rise to the notation
$$
f'(x) \quad \text{or} \quad \frac{df}{dx}
$$
which is used to represent a new function whose value at $x$ is given by the derivate of $f$ at the point $x$; in this way we derive (in the English sense of the word) an entirely new function from the old one.
You also might occasionally see "operator" notion thrown around, which usually looks like $\frac{d}{dx}(f)$. Again, "$d$" and "$dx$" are not to be thought of as separate pieces of a fraction, but rather that $\frac{d}{dx}$ is a operation (much like squaring or square-rooting) to be performed on a function. In this way you'd see equations written like
$$
\frac{d}{dx}(\sin x) = \cos x.
$$
Note: The common notation of $\frac{dy}{dx}$ is nothing special either. It means the same thing as $\frac{df}{dx}$, but with the added confusion of identifying the $y$ variable of the coordinate plane with the function $f(x)$, via the graph $y = f(x)$. I prefer to leave $y$'s out of the picture unless we are explicitly graphing something.

Antiderivatives:
The notation of
$$
\int f(x)\,dx
$$
is a bit awkward, especially when you do not yet have the connections between definite and indefinite integrals. You should interpret these symbols as standing in for a new function (much like how $\frac{df}{dx}$ does) defined in terms of $x$ with the following property:
$$
F(x) = \int f(x)\,dx \iff F'(x) = f(x).
$$
That is, if you take the derivate of $F(x)$ as a function, then you get back the original function $f(x)$. Hence the more appropriate name of "antiderivative".
One curious property of antiderivatives is that they are not unique, unlike derivatives. This is because if $F'(x) = f(x)$, then $\frac{d}{dx}(F(x)+C) = f(x)$ as well, for any constant $C$.
Again, the "$dx$" part of the antiderivative isn't really a "part" at all. It is simply there to tell the reader what variable is being "anti-differentiated". The elongated "S" part has no place in our discussion before we've covered the connection between definite integrals (a.k.a. areas under the graphs of functions) and indefinite integrals (a.k.a. antiderivatives). Sadly it is the conventional symbol, however, and so we will need to deal with it whether we want to or not.

Chain Rule:
When you have a composition of functions (one function shoved inside of another one) you need the chain rule to evaluate derivates. Notationally we say write
$$
h(x) = (f\circ g)(x), \quad \text{if }\, h(x) = f(g(x)).
$$
This chain rule then tells us
\begin{align}
h'(x) &= (f'\circ g)(x) \cdot g'(x) \\
&= f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x).
\end{align}
In words: if $h$ is the composition of $f$ and $g$, then the derivative of $h$ is the derivative of $f$, composed with $g$, and then multiplied by the derivative of $g$.
A quick example of the chain rule can be demonstrated using nothing more than the "power rule" of differentiation for polynomials:
\begin{align}
\frac{d}{dx}(x^6) &= \frac{d}{dx}((x^2)^3)\\
&= \frac{d}{dx}(f(g(x))), \quad \text{where $f(x) = x^3$ and $g(x) = x^2$}\\
&= 3(x^2)^2\cdot(2x), \quad \text{where $f'(x) = 3x^2$ and $g'(x) = 2x$}\\
&= (3\cdot2)x^4\cdot x \\
&= 6 x^5.
\end{align}
In Leibniz notation this would be written as
$$
\frac{dh}{dx} = \frac{d(f\circ g)}{dx} = \frac{df}{dx}(g(x))\cdot \frac{dg}{dx}(x),
$$
where one must be careful to indicate that the derivative of $f$ is being evaluated at the number $g(x)$ and NOT the number $x$. Remember,
$$
\frac{df}{dx}(g(x))\cdot \frac{dg}{dx}(x) \neq \frac{df}{dx} \cdot \frac{dg}{dx}.
$$
Since, in a composition of functions, the entire function of $g$ is replacing every instance of the variable $x$ in the function $f$, it's not uncommon to "abuse notation" and simply write $f(g)$, where it is implicitly understood that since $g$ is a function of $x$, then the composition must be a function of $x$ as well. In this way, the Leibniz notation can be abused as well, by writing
$$
\frac{d(f\circ g)}{dx} = \frac{df}{dg}\cdot \frac{dg}{dx},
$$
where $\frac{df}{dg}$ is understood to mean "take the derivative of $f$ as though it were a function of a variable called $g$". It should now be clear why this suggestive "fractional" notation has prevailed for so long: it's as if the $dg$'s "cancel" via multiplication, leaving only the desired $\frac{df}{dx}$. Again, this is not what is actually happening, but it is the reason the notation is the way it is.

$u$-Substitution:
$u$-substitution is merely the reverse of the chain rule, the way antiderivatives are the reverse of derivatives. Using the conventional "integral" notation for antiderivatives, we simply look to the previous section to see how to reverse the chain rule:
$$
\int (f\circ g)'(x) \,dx = (f\circ g)(x) + C.
$$
The key idea when using $u$-substitution to integrate (i.e. anti-differentiate) is to isolate a part of the function (the "$u$" part) that:

*

*is "inside" a separate function (like $f(u(x))$)

*whose derivative is being multiplied with the "outer" function ($\cdot u'(x)$)

It is nothing more than simply calling $g$ from the chain rule by a different name, $u$:
$$
\int \big( f'(u(x))\cdot u'(x) \big) \,dx = f(u(x)) + C.
$$
The idea of replacing "$dx$" with "$du$" is again just an abuse of notation.
By thinking of the composition $f(u(x))$ as just $f(u)$ -- that is, just treat $f$ as a function of a variable named $u$, rather than of a variable named $x$ -- we can abuse the Leibniz notation to write the equation above as
$$
\int \frac{df}{du} \cdot \frac{du}{dx} \,dx = f(u(x)) + C,\tag{*}
$$
where again $\frac{df}{du}$ is interpreted to be the derivate of $f$, treated as a function of $u$. But notice that if $f$ were simply a function of a variable called $u$ (and there was no mention whatsoever of $x$'s) then we would have
$$
\int \frac{df}{du} \,du = f(u) + C.
$$
And so, yet again, we are tempted to abuse the notation even further in (*) by "canceling" the "$dx$" in the derivate (thinking of it like a fraction) with the "$dx$" in the integral (whatever that means) to "leave behind" the "$du$" part.
At face value this is patently absurd: we are pulling apart things that were never disjointed in the first place, and canceling odd symbols as though they were ordinary numbers. However, as a mnemonic the Leibniz notation gives quite a concise way of remembering (not explaining) how these formulas work.

A: These are notations and you learn them by practice.
$dx$ means change in $x$ when you talk about derivatives and it means with respect to $x$ when you talk about integrals.
$dy$ means the linear change in $y$ when we talk about derivative and it means with respect to $y$ when we talk about integrals.
$dy/dx$  is another notation for derivative of $y$ with respect to $x.$ so it is the same as $ y'(x)$
In general we have a formula to remember. $$ df=f'(x)dx$$ or $$ dy=y'(x)dx$$

But the words that I absolute LOVE hearing from my little one are Daddy/Mommy "I want to help". My little one is at the stage now where she understands so much and recognizes when mommy and daddy have to do things that otherwise take away our attention from her.
As this Baby Center Article states, between the ages 2 and 3, a child begins to comprehend the more complicated aspects of life and gains a deeper understanding of how she should treat people. So when my little one sees that mommy and daddy are doing housework, caring for her little sister, or walking the dogs, the idea that she says "I want to help" makes me happy. I'm beginning to see the development of a kind hearted, helpful, unselfish person. And truth be told, the idea that my daughter is shaping up to be a beautiful person makes me, perhaps selfishly, believe that my wife and I are doing parenting right.
I get it, sometimes their idea of "help" really delays the process of what you are trying to accomplish; maybe even gets you a little frustrated. But as a dad, after my frustration settles, I tend to just laugh. I laugh at the fact that my toddler got me "frustrated" because she was trying to "help" me. And for those who have older children, teenagers, or adult children- I'm sure you are nodding your head and saying that you'd take this type of "frustration" over what comes about in your child's later stages of life.
Yes, "I love you" will always be my daughters' way to my heart and checkbook, but if the goal as a parent is to do everything you can to raise a wonderful human being- one that is helpful to others, kind to others, puts others first before him/her, is respectful of others, and grows to be a leader- then yea, hearing my 3 year old say " I want to help" is music to my ears!

Jared Mees earns third Grand National Championship in four years
Jared Mees finished third in the AMA Pro Flat Track Season Finale on Friday night at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, but it didn't matter, as he had already clinched the 2015 Harley-Davidson GNC1 presented by Vance & Hines championship before the main event had even started.
Mees was able to secure his third Grand National Championship in four seasons on Friday night a lot easier than he had expected going into the event. He held a mere seven-point lead over rival Bryan Smith and the two have been the center of attention leading up to the Flat Track Season Finale in Las Vegas. However, Smith failed to secure a spot in the main event through his heat race and then he crashed during his Semi, which resulted in him missing the final race altogether.
Although he missed his chance at winning his first Grand National Championship, Smith still put together a stellar 2015 campaign. He finished with 181 points, 23 shy of Mees.
Consistency has always been the name of the game for Mees, and this season proved to be no different. The Clio, Mich., native notched nine podiums and a single victory this season, which are numbers that reflect his previous champion-winning seasons almost to a tee.
"It's awesome to get this championship," said Mees. "Last year when I won it, I remember saying that that one meant the most to me. But now here I am and it just gets sweeter and sweeter every year. There was a lot of pressure coming into this race tonight. It's a short track and what ended up happening to Bryan was my biggest fear of happening to me. Anything can happen in this type of race. I've run a lot of these types of races and I've felt what it's like to run into some bad luck. I'm just glad I was able to come away with this championship, it feels awesome."

War time travel less than luxurious
Travelling from Melbourne to Darwin is pretty easy these days. Just hop on a plane and a few hours later you're there. But during World War II the journey took more than a week.
Sgt David Davis, a radio mechanic, had been re-trained as a radar mechanic due to a shortage of technicians, and was posted to Birdum near Darwin. He made the trip from Spencer Street railway station to the Northern Territory in the mid-summer heat of December 1942, along with 200 other RAAF men and 200 AIF.
The train was hot, slow and was constantly shunted onto sidings while heavy rain threatened further delays.
The journey was not without incidents both humorous and serious. Having passed through Ballarat and Horsham they had breakfast in the South Australian showgrounds. For the third meal in a row it was stew.
"Hot shower was good. Wonder if it is the last for some time," Davis wrote in his diary. "Lunch at Terowie not bad at all. Chops. Issued with beer coupons at 6d each. We could not find any girls. What a dead joint. We all decided to go to church to see what was offering. It was a Methodist Church, typically countrified. The Prodigal Son sermon was entertaining and we had tea and sandwiches. The boys each put in 2/6d and we gave the Rector 10/- for church. I guess it was conscience money."
After breakfast next morning the journey continued with the boys "guzzling beer".
"A crate of Orlando was stolen from one of the hotels," Davis wrote. "A kit inspection was held before we left to find out who had it. A search revealed three glasses. Your guess is as good as mine where it is. Like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Twelve bottles among 200 Air Force and 200 AIF."
At Maree the train stopped again.
"Not a blade of grass to be seen. Yet the inevitable pub. Some of its wares repose under the seats. It has been raining and the ground is red and sloppy and flat as a pancake."
Later that day they reached Coward's Springs.
"Opposite this spring is a pub. It is not popular with the boys as it has run dry though God knows how anything can stay damp in this cauldron. Outside the train the ground is positively spawning with empty cans, rusty and abandoned though when we move on bright new ones will be added to their number."
"We sight our first skeleton. Strange as it seems on the side of the line there are strips of the greenest grass you ever saw. Indications of a storm that broke over this area a week ago. The drovers avail themselves of these strips for nourishment of sheep. As far as the eye can see is gravel, sand, saltbush, mulga and utter desolation. For distraction in the distant horizon is the will-o-the-wisp mirage which were I suffering any privation would scornfully beckon at me.
"At long last we come upon a man with two horses who is turning up the land. It seems all wrong for how can life prevail in this wilderness. A puny man, his horses, and the frail mechanism – a plough that can but only scratch on this surface even while the furrow dries underfoot."
The following day they came upon a goods train.
"A goods train has been visited by some of the chaps and pears are being eaten. G. among others were given rifles and detailed to guard the goods train. Each was armed with a tin-opener and the salmon stocks mysteriously disappeared through the night."
When they finally reached the military camp just outside Alice Springs a week after leaving Spencer Street, the showers were barely working.
"We wash as best we can. Our seats were booked in one of the two theatres here. It does seem funny to pay 9d entertainment tax. Don Ameche in 'Down Argentine Way'. The theatre was open and surrounded by a concrete white-washed wall about 6 feet high."
They left Alice Springs by truck, part of a large convoy and the fourth last truck which had a top speed of 20mph.
They stopped overnight at Barrow Creek, a new camp where they managed a shower and had curry for tea. Beer was 2/3d a bottle. By this time they had covered 1900 miles since starting on their journey.
They passed huge ant hills and were covered in flies every time the truck stopped. They erected a tent-like cover on the truck to keep the sun off which prompted an officer to tell them they would have a properly covered truck the following day.
They spent the night at Banks, sleeping out and plagued by ants and mosquitoes, rising at 3am to set off again, eventually reaching Birdum where it was
"as hot as hell with flies that bit and drew blood and water was unpalatable."
Sgt Davis spent the next 15 months at Birdum with 105 Radar Station. The threat of Japanese air attacks was continuous.
On 12 January 1943 Davis wrote in his diary:
"A beautiful moon directly above. Every feature of landscape stands out sharply. A good morning for bombing. I go on duty at 12pm, i.e. 2359. I cannot sleep before this hour. Put on my 'goons' to keep mosquitoes at bay. This morning I know we will be visited by the Nips. The bets are on. Suddenly from Fighter Section comes advice to cover a certain point (with the radar). I do the plotting. It's on. Extra ops garnered out of their beds take over. Out by the 'doover' (radar scanner) I watch meters, yarn to CO while above all that can be seen is a beautiful moon, an iridescent sea and fairy-like trees in silhouette against the brightness.
"The searchlights have picked up the raider. We hear our night fighters droning overhead as they gain altitude. Near to moon is white condensation from aircraft props. It now becomes film and disappears. The searchlights hold the Jap in their beams. The hostile aircraft is surrounded by red flashes and a time elapses before we hear the crack of ack-ack. They drop no bombs and sheer off to sea. We all go back to routine boredom."
Two months later there was a major raid.
"At about 10am 'doover' sick. Aircraft 100 miles away – hostile half an hour 22 bombers twin-engined and many Zeros, an armada of 50 aircraft against this only eight Spits (Spitfire fighters) took the air. The dog fight high in the blue with streams of condensation (contrails) indicating planes. We lose of eight, four. They are said to have lost 14. Narrowly missed by cannon shell tore through the scrub with awful bang. Thorald Smith ace Spit pilot, one of those shot down, is dead. Oil dumps burning, American headquarters PWD depots done over."
An entry on 26 March 1943 stated:
"Thorald Smith found walking about in the swamps."
On 30 November 1943, Sgt Davis recorded the story of survival of the SS Koolama which had been hit by bombs from Japanese bombers off Cape Londonderry but close to land.
"(It was) carrying a crew and passengers consisting of CCC (Civil Construction Corps) workers with wives and children," Sgt Davis wrote.
"Though hit by bombs the ship, despite its sinking condition was beached by the crew, women and children taken ashore where located by itinerant blacks from Benedictine Mission. The Mission lugger took off the passengers and some of the crew. The ship was then refloated and manned by a skeleton crew eventually reached Darwin. A boat picked up passengers."
On the same day he wrote about the amazing survival of a US Liberator bomber crew returning from a raid on Borneo which had involved eight aircraft.
"One engine damaged left to fight rearguard action to allow others to get home. They beat off the opposition and approaching Timor ran into very heavy weather which forced them to fly very low. To great consternation on dropping to a few thousand feet to get below storm they emerged in clear sunlight over a Jap airstrip at Koepang. Soon pounced on by five Zeros and without ammunition they made quickly for the nearest Allied base – Drysdale on Australian mainland. By sheer bluff, skilful manoeuvring the Zeros gave up the chase 18 miles from the coast. Unable to locate strip, almost out of fuel they decided to make for a salt pan on the Ango Peninsula.
"A landing was effected with some damage to under-carriage and nose of plane. Communication was established between aircraft and 317 Radar. Position was incorrect. Searching aircraft located them. Food and water was dropped and mission lugger set sail to rescue them. Mission blacks set out to advise help on way. On appearance of blacks they (the crew) decided to sell their lives dearly and they said chosen phrases hoping the blacks would understand their friendly nature. They were surprised to hear 'Good morning sir' in perfect English. Mission lugger took them to Radar 317 given food (snags). They said it was the best meal they ever had."
There were many more such incidents before Sgt Davis finally moved to Batchelor after 15 months with 105 Radar Station.

Remembering Dennis Bergkamp's Wonder Goal Against Argentina At The 1998 World Cup
Daniel Marland in Football
Last updated 3:07 PM, Friday December 13 2019 GMT
Dennis Bergkamp debuted on this day in 1986 and it's worth remembering the Dutch icon's greatest ever strike.
July 4 1998. Holland are facing Argentina with a World Cup semi-final spot on the line. The sun is beating down upon the Stade Velodrome in Marseille. A tense game is locked at 1-1 with extra-time looming and both sides have had a man sent off.
But there was one player, dubbed 'iceman', who kept his cool and created history. A 29-year-old striker called Dennis Bergkamp stepped up to score probably his greatest ever goal, and one of the most famous strikes ever in a World Cup.
Image Credit: PA
The game had entered the 90th minute and Dutch defender Frank de Boer launched a speculative ball into the Argentina half. In most instances, the frontman would fail to control the long pass and possession would change hands. Not Bergkamp, though.
The Arsenal striker leaped into the air to control the ball beautifully on his right foot, deftly flicked it inside Roberto Ayala then rifled it past helpless goalkeeper Carlos Roa with the outside of his boot. Time seemed to stand still for Bergkamp. The actual time? 2.51 seconds for three sublime touches. A level of precision that high should be impossible in such a short period of time, but Bergkamp did it. Give the stage, given the moment, given the opposition and given the skill level, this would go down as one of the greatest ever World Cup goals.
The 29-year-old wheeled away in calm celebration but ultimately collapsed to the floor in joy. Not even Bergkamp with his ice cold persona could keep his cool after this strike. 'DENNIS BERGKAMP, DENNIS BERGKAMP', Dutch commentators echoed as they tried to describe what they'd just seen. When the full-time whistle blew, everyone watching attempted to come up with ways to describe his genius. Ruud Gullit chimed in with 'perfect'.
Bergkamp himself, a stickler for flawlessness even conceded 'the moment itself was, I think, perfect."
He told FourFourTwo back in 2011: "I am quite focused. And I don't show my emotions to everyone - only people I work with and family. I was never nervous. I always tried to stay at one level: the good things weren't that good, and the bad things weren't that bad."
His emotions were on show for all to see in those split seconds. The great enigma of this game is that aside from laying on the assist for Patrick Kluivert and scoring his goal, Bergkamp was rather anonymous. Not a bad way to leave a mark, but he'd built a career on being enigmatic.
On December 14 in 1986, Ajax faced Roda JC in a seemingly uneventful game and Johan Cruyff took a gamble on an unknown 17-year-old. Little did he know that the young forward named Bergkamp would go on to be one of his generation's greatest talents.
Bergkamp managed to stand out on the pitch by making the simply brilliant look brilliantly simple. He once said that he focuses more on his control and passing over tricks because 'art for art's sake isn't interesting'. Arsenal fans had become accustomed to these moments of brilliance. Bergkamp had been in North London for three years and helped his side to a Premiership and FA Cup double the prior season while scoring sublime goals along the way.
Forget his failed spell at Inter Milan, Bergkamp went down as an Ajax, Arsenal and Dutch legend.

'The Road Trip that Changed the World' by Mark Sayers
August 29, 2012ReviewsCulture, ReviewMartin	0 comments
When Jack Kerouac's second novel, 'On The Road' was published in late summer 1957, the review in the New York Times said that:
"…its publication is a historic occasion insofar as the exposure of the authentic work of art if of any great moment in any age in which the attention is fragmented and the sensibilities are blunted by the superlatives of fashion….[and is] the most beautifully executed, the clearest and most important utterance yet made of the generation Kerouac himself named years ago as 'beat' and whose principal avatar he is."
It was recognised immediately as a classic, a book that reflected the developing worldview of a generation which desired freedom from regulation and traditional expectation, which wanted to be 'on the road', constantly seeking the next transcendent experience to somehow overcome the 'mundane' existence of life in post-war America.
But as I read it now, 55 years on, the experiences of Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty seem tame and almost, dare I say it, boring. How can this be? How can such a seminal book, one that influenced and changed the lives of so many, now seem so 'run of the mill'?
Kerouac's novel is a classic, but it's more than that, it's a signpost, marking the place and time when a paradigm shift took place in culture and society that still underpins our contemporary view of life and 'post-modern' existence. My worldview, my outlook on life is influenced, whether I realise it or not, by the same cultural change that is articulated in Kerouac's semi-biographical story telling. I find it mundane because it's already such a intrinsic part of how I think and feel. Living 'on the road' is no longer a subversive and rebellious act because it's now 'normal' – the counter-cultural lifestyle of the 'beat' generation has been adsorbed and is now ubiquitous in our everyday, contemporary culture.
This is the main critique that forms the basis for Mark Sayer's new book, 'The Road Trip that Changed the World', not that Kerouac single-handedly changed the culture, but that Kerouac through 'On The Road' spoke on behalf of a generation that was changing, moving away from the certainties of the past to a post-modern dynamic narrative that forever altered how we experience the journey through our lives, including those of us in the church.
In his two previous books, 'The Trouble with Paris' and 'The Vertical Self', Sayers has shown himself to be a talented observer of the interface between church and secular culture, demonstrating how, so often, the church is overly influenced by the surrounding secular worldview. 'The Road Trip' continues this good work, using the example of Abraham to contrast the 'way of the road' with the 'way of the cross' – to encourage us to live a different story, to walk a different road, as he explains:
"The choice before us is now clear. To follow our culture's collection of stories that go nowhere, to believe that the world is a meaningless place, out of which we can only hope to eke out passing moments of pleasure. To follow a road which at the end of our lives will leave us only with a well-groomed Facebook page, a collection of digital photos, and a library of downloadable songs and movies. Our lives will be reduced to a digital memorial that can be erased with the click of a mouse. We will live and die as shallow people living in a shallow culture…..The second choice before us is to…immerse ourselves in the story of a God who came to earth to die for the world. A God who calls us to follow a different road, a road which is tough, a road which does not always let us get what we want, a road of sacrifice and pain, a road that ends with a Cross. A Cross which opens our eyes to the true nature of reality. A Cross which enables us to see that the world is luminously alive. That it pulsates with the sacred, that each atom, every creature, bears the fingerprints of its creator. A place where in the poetic words of William Blake we can "see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower – Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour." Then we will be deep people, on a mission to deepen the world, reservoirs of living water in the secular desert, revealing the glory of God."
Sayers hits the mark for me. He understanding that the contemporary church in Western culture is at a crossroads where a decision needs to be made. The choice is stark – stay the same, be shallow, follow the road of the world, be hidden and irrelevant, or wake up to your calling, choose to take the road of the cross, become deep, and find again the power of devotion, the creation-changing power that will bring the world back to life.
I have always found Sayer's writing to be compelling, encouraging and inspiring in equal measure, and 'The Road Trip' is definately up to his usual standard. This is a book that should be read by everyone who loves Jesus and who cares about the future of the church.
So if that's you, then get a copy before it's too late.
(For the record, I was sent a copy of this book by the publisher for review, however, this has not influenced my view of the book in any way, and I have subsequently bought a digital copy on Kindle to show my support of the author.)

Mobile Surround Sound: How to Make Any Android Device a Wireless Speaker for Your Samsung Galaxy Note 2
One of the coolest features of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is Group Play, which lets you connect other Samsung Galaxy S4s up to yours so you can use them as extra speakers to create a surround-sound stereo of sorts.
While the feature is definitely cool, there is a downside. It can only be used on Samsung Galaxy S4s. Eventually, when the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 get updated to 4.2.2 (or 4.3), we'll all be able to use Group Play.
Until then, we have an alternative solution for you, and it works for most Android devices, not just Samsung ones.
How to Get Group Play Without Group Play
To get the Group Play surround sound experience on any Android device, we'll be using SoundSeeder by JekApps. Actually, there are two parts to SoundSeeder, the player and the speaker. The main device will play the music with the SoundSeeder Music Player, while the other devices, connected via Wi-Fi, will be additional speakers using the SoundSeeder Speaker app.
SoundSeeder Music Player
Start by installing the SoundSeeder Music Player on the device that will be playing the music. This device must be running Android 4.1 or higher.
Once you open the application, choose a Player Name, which you will need to remember when connecting the other device(s) via your Wi-Fi network.
SoundSeeder Speaker
One the other device (or devices), you'll need to have SoundSeeder Speaker installed. Unlike the the Player, which requires 4.1 or higher, the Speakers can be running any Android version 2.2 or later.
You can then open the app and mess with the settings, such as having it connect automatically when it detects the player and the audio mode. Once you're done, head back to the device that's running SoundSeeder Music Player.
How Many Devices Can You Connect?
You can only connect one device as a speaker in the free version of this app. If you want to connect more than one, check out the comparison section below on the free vs. paid apps.
Now that you're done with the basic setup, make sure that all of your devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If you're not around Wi-Fi, you can create a mobile Hotspot using your data and have the other devices connect to that.
Once you're connected, head over to your main device, open up the SoundSeeder Music Player, and select a song to play.
Once the song starts playing, head over to your other device and open up SoundSeeder Speaker. The speaker device should automatically connect to the main device. If it doesn't, you can find your device at the bottom left of the screen. Once you select it, both devices will synchronize and play the song.
If you want to change the volume, you can do it from the main device, which will control the volume of the other connected speakers, aka devices. In addition to the app, you can also access two different widgets and control the music and speakers directly through there.
Free or Paid? Which SoundSeeder Is Right for You?
While the free versions of both apps are great, there are some limitations.
If you want to stay connected for more than 4 minutes at a time, and/or connect more than one Android device, you'll need to buy the fully functional version of SoundSeeder (which is an in-app purchase). This will give you unlimited playback and will let you connect up to 16 different devices.
The pro version will run you (as of this writing) $3.89, but you only need to purchase it for the Music Player, not for the Speaker app, so don't worry about having to upgrade for all of the devices.
While both applications worked well with my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S4, there are a few known issues that others have been experiencing.
A few Android devices, such as the Nexus 4, disconnect from the Wi-Fi signal when they enter suspended mode. If this occurs, you can go to your settings and turn on "Stay Awake" in order to avoid it going into standby. You can also change the setting of "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" and put it to "Always". You can also just keep the device plugged into a charger, which will keep it awake.
If the main device is suspended, it might not automatically find the other devices with SoundSeeder Speaker. Make sure to keep the screen awake if this is an issue.
Also, the music playing from the device may not be synchronized with the others. If this is the case, there are a few things you can do, like check out the Wi-Fi signal strength, pause the song for a short moment and then play it again, or go to the settings and set the playback priority to gapless.
Until other Samsung devices get updated to 4.2.2 or 4.3, this is a great alternative for Group Play, plus it's not limited to Samsung devices, which is likely to happen if you're trying to link 10 other phones to yours as speakers.
