Ever wanted to change the resolution of a virtual machine (in VirtualBox) and couldn't find the resolution you want in the settings? You can easily do this using VBoxManager, a command line tool that lets you control various aspects of your virtual machines.
There's one thing you need to know before trying this: you need to install the VirtualBox Guest additions before trying to set a high resolution or else it won't work.
To change the resolution of any running virtual machine, look for its name in VirtualBox Manager VM list and run the following command:
VBoxManage controlvm "MACHINE NAME" setvideomodehint WIDTH HEIGHT BPP
Replacing "MACHINE NAME", WIDTH, HEIGHT and BPP (bits per pixel - 24 or 32) with your values.
In my example, the machine name is "10.10":
So the command to change the resolution to 1280x800 would be:
VBoxManage controlvm "10.10" setvideomodehint 1280 800 32
Thanks to Linuxundich.de for the info!


What Data Type Is Yes No in SQL?
//
Larry Thompson
What Data Type Is Yes No in SQL?
In SQL, the data type for representing a Yes/No value is typically called a bit data type. The bit data type is used to store boolean values, where 1 represents true (Yes) and 0 represents false (No).
It is commonly used to represent binary or Boolean values in a database table.
Bit Data Type
The bit data type in SQL can be considered as the smallest unit of storage in terms of memory consumption. It typically requires only 1 byte of storage space, and its value can either be 0 or 1.
This small size makes it highly efficient for storing boolean values with minimal storage requirements.
To define a column with the bit data type in SQL, you can use the following syntax:
column_name BIT
For example, if you have a table called "Employees" and want to add a column to represent whether an employee is active or not, you can use the bit data type:
CREATE TABLE Employees (
 EmployeeID int,
 Name varchar(50),
 IsActive bit
);
Using Bit Data Type in SQL Queries
When working with the bit data type in SQL queries, you can use it within conditional statements such as WHERE clauses or in conjunction with logical operators.
Here's an example of a SELECT statement using the bit data type:
SELECT EmployeeID, Name
FROM Employees
WHERE IsActive = 1;
In this example, we are selecting the EmployeeID and Name columns from the Employees table where the IsActive column is set to 1 (true/Yes). This query will return all active employees.
Conclusion
In SQL, the bit data type is commonly used to represent Yes/No or boolean values. It is a compact and efficient way to store binary information, requiring only 1 byte of storage space.
By understanding how to define columns with the bit data type and how to use it in SQL queries, you can effectively handle boolean values in your database tables.

Get Location Permission on Android Q

Get Location Permission on Android Q
Google introduces the new Android OS called Android Q or 10. The Android 10 has released with a lot of new features like Dark Mode, Smart Reply, Focus Mode and so on. Android 10 has changed the way of handling the location permissions; the system includes multiple permissions related to location. And, then the location permissions fulfil the location requirements for your app's use cases. In this article, we are gonna discuss and implement the new location permissions model in our android application.
Types of location access
Android Q location permissions have the following categories of location access:
 1. Foreground Location Access
 2. Background Location Access
Foreground Location Access
If your application shares or receives the location for a one-time or particular amount of time then that feature requires foreground location access. Some examples are added below,
 - Users get turn-by-turn directions in a navigation app.
 - Users can share their current location with another user in a messaging app.
You need to declare the permissions for foreground access in manifest either "ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" permission or the "ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" permission, as shown in the below snippet:
<manifest xmlns:android="_URL_
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
</manifest>
Background Location Access
When an app needs to share the location continuously with other users, it requires background location access. Some examples are included below:
 - In a family location sharing app, the feature allows users to continuously share location with family members.
The level of sureness depends on which permission you request:
 1. ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION It provides an accurate location within the city block.
 2. ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION It provides a more accurate location than one provided when you request "ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION". This permission is necessary for some other connectivity tasks like connecting to nearby devices over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
The COARSE_LOCATION will pop up a dialog with the three options when you access the location.
 1. Allow Always On selecting "Allow Always", the location is continuously shared with the user all the time, whether the app is either foreground or background.
 2. Allow only while using the app It shares user location only when the application is used. It stops the location sharing after the user closes the application.
 3. Deny While clicking "Deny", it disables the location permission request but when you look for the location request for a second time it shows the fourth option - Deny & Do Not Ask Again.

 //foreground permission allowed
 if (grantResults[i] >= 0) {
 foreground = true;
 Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Foreground location permission allowed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
 continue;
 } else {
 Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Location Permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
 break;
 }
 }
 if (permissions[i].equalsIgnoreCase(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION)) {
 if (grantResults[i] >= 0) {
 foreground = true;
 background = true;
 Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Background location location permission allowed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
 } else {
 Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Background location location permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

 }
 }
 if (foreground) {
 if (background) {
 handleLocationUpdates();
 } else {
 handleForegroundLocationUpdates();
 }
 }
 }
 }
 private void handleLocationUpdates() {
 //foreground and background
 Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Start Foreground and Background Location Updates",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
 }
 private void handleForegroundLocationUpdates() {
 //handleForeground Location Updates
 Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Start foreground location updates",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
 }
}
OnRequestPermissionResult check the location permission granted or not. On clicking the location permission button, it will ask you for foreground and background location access. If you do not select foreground access the loop will break. There is no use of background location access without giving a foreground location access.
I have attached the output of the above application below for reference.

A comment by Tim Lymington notes that the wife of an earl is a countess. Why is this so? Shouldn't it have been earless? Was this perhaps a conscious decision due to its homography with ear-less?
Did a jarl ever have a jarless? Ah. Perhaps not.
share|improve this question
-ess is a suffix from French; the most common Germanic suffix is -in, so if there were an inherited feminine form of jarl it would probably be jarlin. One can speculate that this would have come into English as earlen (the only desinence of -in I can think of in English is vixen, from fox). – Colin Fine Jan 19 '13 at 19:41
3 Answers 3
The male version of countess is sometimes count. From Wikipedia:
An earl was originally another title, but later came to be equivalent to count:
An earl is a member of the nobility. The title is Anglo-Saxon, akin to the Scandinavian form jarl, and meant "chieftain", particularly a chieftain set to rule a territory in a king's stead. In Scandinavia, it became obsolete in the Middle Ages and was replaced with duke (hertig/hertug). In later medieval Britain, it became the equivalent of the continental count (in England in the earlier period, it was more akin to duke; in Scotland it assimilated the concept of mormaer)....
The Norman-derived equivalent "count" was not introduced following the Norman Conquest of England though "countess" was and is used for the female title. As Geoffrey Hughes writes, "It is a likely speculation that the Norman French title 'Count' was abandoned in England in favour of the Germanic 'Earl' […] precisely because of the uncomfortable phonetic proximity to cunt".

To further complicate things: "An earl has the title Earl of [X] when the title originates from a placename, or Earl [X] when the title comes from a surname. In either case, he is referred to as Lord [X], and his wife as Lady [X]. A countess who holds an earldom in her own right also uses Lady [X], but her husband does not have a title (unless he has one in his own right)." – Hugo Jan 19 '13 at 6:32
Thanks! So, the reason is "for lack of a better term"? How dull :( Any idea what female jarls were called? – coleopterist Jan 19 '13 at 7:18
As far as I can tell, jarls were only men with no special title for their wives, although the first ever female Guizer Jarl was chosen in 2010, there's no mention of a feminine title. _URL_ (But this actual title only dates from 1906, the role was only created in 1881, and some say it's "based upon a flawed Viking perspective".) – Hugo Jan 19 '13 at 7:32
Before the title died out, jarl was also used for a higher rank in Scandinavia, including rulers of petty kingdoms. I imagine it is for this reason that we normally translate Greve and Lensgreve as Count rather than Earl even though the latter would be a more "complete" translation into English. – Jon Hanna Jan 19 '13 at 14:09
As Hugo cites in his Wikipedia reference, the title of earl is derived from the Anglo-Saxon title. An eorl was the highest rank below the king in pre-Norman England, and there was no female version of the word. Indeed, the only female noble who had a title at all was the cyninge (queen). There existed a kind of abstract title, but it was pretty broad:
ides f (-e/-a) virgin; 2 woman, wife, lady, queen; [it is a word little used except in poetry, and it is supposed by Grimm to have been applied, in the earliest times, like the Greek numfé, to superhuman beings, occupying a position between goddesses and mere women]
In all my reading about the period I have never encountered a female title of rank corresponding to eorl (itself replacing ealdorman). Indeed, even the famous wife of Eorl Leofric of Mercia, whom you know as Lady Godiva (_PHONE_), is simply referred to by her given name, Godgifu.
Given that there was no traditional corresponding title of rank, it is not surprising that one should have been borrowed.
share|improve this answer
An earl and a count are equivalent. But "count" from the French, is a much more common usage in English than "earl," which is derived from the Scandinavian "jarl."
Hence the female version, countess, is a "take off" of a "count" rather than an "earl."
share|improve this answer
On what grounds do you say "'count'... is a much more common usage than English than 'earl'"? Given that earl is a rank in British nobility and count isn't, I think this is nonsense. – Colin Fine Jan 19 '13 at 19:34

Example 8.4.9: Applying the Lagrange Remainder
f(x) =where r(x) goes to zero as x goes to c.
Use this result and the function f(x)= to show that
The first statement is a straight-forward application of the Lagrange remainder theorem - try it youself!
As for the application, let f(x)=, which is continuously differentiable around c = 0. According to our statement (and taking the first derivative at zero) we have:
= 1 + x/2 + x r(x)
for some r(x) with r(x) = 0. To apply this to our problem, we need to see involved somehow. Therefore we factor an n to get:
Now we can apply our approximation to the second root, with x = 1/, to get:
which, together with the fact that r(x) = 0 will do the trick.

Crossing Large Gaps And Chasms
The following trick is a simple way to cross large gaps if you cannot figure out how to solve the puzzle (for example, catapults). Re-allocate your skill points, if needed, to equip Zoya with the low gravity arrows and Amadeus with the Conjure 2 or higher abilities. Create a low gravity field and suspend one of Amadeus's boxes within it, refire the low grav arrows, and reposition the box as needed to center the bubble over the chasm. Suspend two or more of Amadeus's boxes within the field to create a bridge. With some practice, you can move the low gravity field with you as you jump from box to box.
Super Mario Surprise
Work your way through the first half or so of the secret Dwarven Caverns stage and you'll reach an area where you can use a drill machine to access a switch that will open the pathway allowing you to advance. That switch is located in the room's lower right corner, and you may notice a door just beyond it that appears to be a dead end. A double jump will allow you to pass the door, though, and beyond it you'll find a cool Easter Egg that pays homage to Super Mario Bros.

Workflow scripts can fail and errors must be handled appropriately. A common approach is to have a failing workflow script exit with a non-zero exit code so that Funnelback can detect the problem and fail the update (sending a notification email if it has been configured).
To achieve this in shell scripts, make sure you set the -e flag in the hashbang line: #!/bin/sh -e or #!/bin/bash -e. This will cause the shell to immediately exit with an error code if one the script commands fail.
To achieve this in Groovy script, throw an exception with a message of why the script cannot continue:
throw new Exception("Unable to connect to remote system");
Never use System.exit() as it will cause the JVM to shutdown. Depending on the context it may have bad consequences, such as shutting down the Jetty webserver if the script is being run by Jetty.

Unsafely opening and closing of scarce resources.
class Resource resource whereSource
Class of scarce resources. A scarce resource is a resource that only one user can use at a time. (like a file, memory pointer or USB device for example).
Because of the scarcity, these resources need to be opened to grant temporary sole access to the resource. When the resource is no longer needed it should be closed a.s.a.p to grant others access to the resource.
Associated Types
data Handle resource :: *Source
open :: resource -> IO (Handle resource)Source
Yield an IO computation that opens the given resource and returns a Handle on it.
Think of a handle as your private session with the resource. As long as you have it, other users can't use the resource. So don't forget to close this session with the resource as soon as you're done with it.
close :: Handle resource -> IO ()Source
Yield an IO computation that closes the resource identified by the given Handle.
Warning: Using the Handle after the resource has been closed will usually throw an exception or result in a program crash!

What is the role of a Title Examiner?
Title ExaminerThe primary task of a Title Examiner, also known as an Abstractor, is to search and summarize title records of real estate. The legal documents and insurance records have to be summarized for a variety of purposes. It's because, for land or building to be sold, its title has to be clear of liens or legal issues. Any buyer who wishes to buy a property would get its title checked before beginning the purchasing process. Only when the title is clear will the buyer be able to get a loan sanctioned to by the property by a financial institution.
Other names for Title Examiner also include Title Officer, Commercial Title Examiner Abstract Clerk, Data Abstractor, Escrow Officer, etc. They all perform similar tasks of compiling, searching and scrutinizing the lists of contracts, mortgages and other instruments related to property titles. For this, they have to go about searching public and private records for at the county offices, law firms, or title insurance companies. Here are the tasks performed by Title Examiner.
 - Analyzing search requests to determine the type of title evidence required
 - Obtaining the descriptions of properties as well as the names of parties involved
 - Preparing lists of legal instruments pertaining to a property
 - Examining the documentation related to the title that includes, liens, mortgages, judgments, plat books, legal agreements easements, maps, contracts, etc.
 - Verifying factors such as the legal descriptions, ownership, or restrictions related to the property
 - Preparing and issuing title insurance policies and title commitments based on information compiled from title searches.
 - Summarizing recorded documents, such as trust deeds, vesting contracts, etc., that can affect the property's title
In addition to the above tasks, a Title Examiner might also be required to:
 - Prepare legal documents
 - Investigate relevant legal materials to aid decision making
 - Evaluate legal information in public or personal record
The Title Examiner profile is suitable for people who consistently follow a given routine, and have the following skillsets:
 - Attention to Detail
 - Independence
 - Analytical Thinking
 - Time Management
 - Critical Thinking
 - Active Listening
Thus, a Title Examiner needs to be quick and precise at verifying the accuracy and completeness of land-related documents. They are also required to have a working knowledge of real estate procedures and legalities, as well as summarize the pertinent legal or sections of statutes from reference books, needed to prepare real estate closing statements.

Government Undergraduate Wins Best Paper Award
Nathan Abell wins top prize at national conference
Posted: June 25, 2010
Government student Nathan Abell has received the 2010 First Place Prize for Best Undergraduate Student Paper at the 18th Annual Illinois State University National Conference for Students of Political Science. Abell won the award for his paper, "Theory and Practice of Structural Agenda Setting: A Case Study of U.S. HIV/AIDS Policy from 1979 to 1989."
In his paper, Abell offers a truly novel approach to agenda setting studies by identifying a lack of emphasis in the current literature on the structure within which agenda setting decisions are made. Focusing on the federal government's lack of timely response to the severity of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, Abell points out that the problem was not simply lack of medical knowledge, nor active homophobia, but a combination of the two that can only be understood by accounting for the embedded social structure in which medical research progressed.
Prevailing social attitudes about homosexuality, within the medical and scientific communities as well as the public at large, predisposed scientists to identify HIV/AIDS as an explicitly homosexual disease. For example, when the medical community discovered HIV/AIDS in an individual who was both homosexual and an IV drug user, standard classificatory procedure was to categorize the individual only as homosexual, thereby swelling the numbers of cases identified solely with homosexuality. This research-generated connection between HIV/AIDS and homosexuality subsequently translated into a homophobic political response. Crucially, neither dynamic was rooted in empirical reality. Both the medical and political communities were defining the policy space based on inherited social biases about homosexuality. Studying agenda setting can therefore not simply be about studying processes and the power relationships competing within them, but must also adequately account for the structure of beliefs conditioning public actions. It was a fundamental shift in public perceptions, rather than a shift in empirical reality, which ultimately secured a place for HIV/AIDS on the policy agenda.
In explaining why the federal government was so slow to respond to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, Abell points out that one of the most shocking features of the government's response was the utter reluctance to even discuss whether the issue should be on the policy agenda, let alone make the issue a public policy priority. While active homophobia alone cannot explain this, the lack of response can still only be understood by taking into account the broad social prejudice against certain affected groups – such as homosexuals, heroin addicts, and Haitians – that was channeled through the medical and political communities. When the HIV/AIDS pandemic first emerged, the Center for Disease Control took notice and initiated action to understand and control the disease. Nonetheless, the popular and scientific perception of HIV/AIDS was that it was a 'gay' or 'degenerate' disease, prompting Abell to ask how HIV/AIDS came to be defined as a 'gay' disease, rather than an immune disease disproportionately affecting homosexual men. Part of the answer, he finds, is that the research methods employed by the scientific community were biased toward a finding of sexual identity as the driving factor, as scientists imported homophobic background knowledge into their initial studies.
The public was made aware of the pandemic in 1981, but President Ronald Reagan did not publicly, at his own initiation and for the explicit purpose of addressing the pandemic, mention the disease until 1987. The Reagan administration feared the issue politically, not wanting to associate itself with the affected populations. Due to pervasive homophobia, HIV/AIDS research and outreach became conflated with a homosexual agenda, and the political universe consequently feared association with it. The result was an overall delay in the issue becoming a subject of public discourse. A history of prejudice within the medical establishment toward homosexuals, as homosexuality had, for a long time, been classified as a mental disease, combined with anti-homosexual social attitudes input into scientific research and the public mind, and consequent political fears of association with specific groups, actively kept the issue off the public agenda. Only when the possibility of nonsexual and heterosexual transmission was documented and acknowledged within the broader public, aided by the revelations of prominent, beloved, and infected public figures, such as Rock Hudson and Magic Johnson, did the structure within which agenda setting occurs change such that actively pushing for congressional action became politically tolerable.
Jeffrey Tulis supervised Nathan's paper. This is the fourth student Tulis has supervised who has won a best paper award at the Illinois State conference; Abell is the first to take the top prize.

Overview Of Curved Glass
Measuring for a curve
Measuring for a curve, like everything else, is simple when you know how.
We hope the following guidelines will be of some help.
The main principle to understand is that accuracy is achieved by working/ measuring from point to point.
For example in the sketch below, the blue line and dots represent external point to point dimensions of a panel of glass. i.e chord, radius, depth of bend, and girth. The red line and dots represent the internal dimensions of the same panel of glass.
For us to produce curves from measurements supplied we need accurate details of at least 1 of the following options, along with the height.
 - 1. Radius and angle of arc (specify whether int. or ext)
 - 2. Radius and chord
 - 3. Chord and depth of bend
The above holds true once the curve represents a part or segment of a circle. However where the curve is an irregular shape, either elliptical or part curved with part straight, then we would always recommend taking an accurate template of the shape. Of course where templates are being provided, like with measurements it is important to specify what they represent: int. or ext or centre.

Comparison of Pixel-based Position Input and Direct Acceleration Input for Virtual Stick Balancing Tests
A virtual stick balancing environment is developed using a computer mouse as input device. The development process is presented both on the hardware and software level. Two possible concepts are suggested to obtain the acceleration of the input device: discrete differentiation of the cursor position measured in pixels on the screen and by direct measurements via an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). The comparison of the inputs is carried out with test measurements using a crank mechanism. The measured signals are compared to the prescribed motion of the mechanism and it is shown that the IMU-based input signal fits better to the prescribed motion than the pixel-based input signal. The pixel-based input can also be applied after additional filtering, but this presents an extra computational delay in the feedback loop.


text: The Flying Dutchman, a ghost ship in several maritime legends, was a sign of bad luck, particularly for sailors. In most versions, the ship appeared off the Cape of Good Hope, the southern tip of Africa. The legend was inspired by the story of a Dutch sea captain named Vanderdecken who boasted that he could complete the journey around the cape during a fierce storm. He swore that he would do so or keep trying forever. As punishment for his rashness, he was condemned to sail around the cape until the end of time. A similar version of the legend involves another captain who was forced to sail across the ocean forever because he had sold his soul to the devil. In 1843 the composer Richard Wagner wrote art opera based on the tale of the Flying Dutchman, which spread the story's popularity.

Potatoes from the same furrow
I discovered an interesting Welsh expression today – maen nhw'n datws o'r un rhych ('they're potatoes from the same furrow'), which is one equivalent of saying that they are as thick as thieves, i.e. they are close friends. Other Welsh equivalents of this expression include maen nhw'n gryn lawiau ('they're pretty (?) hands'); maen nhw'n yng nghegau ei gilydd ('they're in mouths together'); and maen nhw'n drwyn wrth drwyn ('they're nose to nose').
In French the equivalent of this phrase is comme larrons en foire ('like thieves in (a) fair') – the word larron is a old word for thief – the usual word is voleur.
What about in other languages?

 1. Charlie says:
 Two German expressions I can think of are sie stecken unter einer Decke 'they lie under the same blanket' and sie halten zusammen wie Pech und Schwefel 'they stick together like pitch and brimstone' — I think … wie Feuer und Schwefel '… like fire and brimstone' can be used instead, but I'm not sure.
 2. D.Jay says:
 I was thinking two peas in a pod, but that is something different – meaning two people who are alike, not necessarily always together. We would also say joined at the hip.
 3. Charlie says:
 The Dutch say onder één hoedje spelen 'play under one hat' (hoedje is diminutive, so literally it's 'small hat').
 4. old_nomad says:
 Common Russian phrase for "joined at the hip" is не разлей-вода "cannot be separated by pouring water (on them)", most probably alluding to pouring water on quarreling animals to separate them. And for being alike without necessarily being close there is одного поля ягоды "berries from the same field", usually in negative sense.
 5. TJ says:
 Well… in colloquial Arabic dialects I can remember one similar phrase which is understood commonly between people of different background from west and east – however, it is a bit vulgar so I'm going to write the translation here only, which comes like: they are like two @$$es in one pant/underwear.
 Well, as for the standard Arabic, I can't remember something significant, but probably I've heard the expressions Two heads from the same shirt or Two bodies in the same shirt before.
 6. Rauli says:
 In Finnish, "kuin paita ja peppu" (like a shirt and the butt).
 7. Remd says:
 A common neutral phrase in Spanish is "son uña y carne", which means "they are like nail and meat". But there's a popular (or rather vulgar) phrase which is used, as far as I've read, especially in Catalonia and I don't know if the original version is Spanish or Catalan. It's "son culo y mierda" which means, if you'll pardon the translation, "they are like ass and shit".
 8. Leonardo A. C. says:
 In Portuguese it's said "Farinha do mesmo saco" (Flour from the same sack) or "Unha e carne" (Nail and flesh).
 9. James says:
 I think that when you learn a language is really funny to look at the expressions and saying used, which sometimes can be really different from our mother tongue. If you require a Welsh translation make sure you address to professionals, to have the best results.

Diversified miner Anglo American has announced its plans to divest its thermal coal operations in South Africa (SA) and Colombia.
According to a Reuters report, the company plans to exit Colombia's Cerrejon thermal coal mine within one and half to two years. The plan also includes divesting SA thermal coal assets within two and half years.
The step comes as the British multinational miner aims to achieve carbon neutrality across its operations by the year 2040.
In a meeting with investors, Anglo American highlighted its sustainability efforts amid increasing pressure on the mining industry to reduce carbon footprint.
CEO Mark Cutifani was quoted by the news agency as saying: "With the bulk of (growth) options in copper, PGMs, and now also crop nutrients, we are increasingly positioned to supply those metals and minerals that enable a cleaner, greener, more sustainable world."
In 2021, Anglo American expects that the production for all minerals will increase by 14%, while unit costs will drop by 3%.
The company is expected to spend between $5.7bn and $6.2bn next year.
Additionally, the miner expects to produce around 890,000 to one million tonnes of copper in 2023, with the Quellaveco project in Peru expected to commence production in 2022.
Through its carbon neutrality strategy, Anglo American seeks to Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, specifically. The company also expects that eight of its assets will reach the carbon neutrality goal by 2030.

How to Roleplay a Death Knight
So, you want to RP the warriors of death that instill fear into the living? There are a few things you should consider.
1.Which Generation of Death Knight are you? (There are commonly 3 but a fourth is possible.)
2.Is it possible and likely that your race would become a Death Knight during that generation?
3.Why would your Death Knight wander in society?
The Generations of Death Knights
Death Knights come in different varieties. The first generation being the death knights of Gul'dan who were made from Orc souls infused in Stormwindian knights bodies. The second generation being the Death Knights corrupted by the Scourge during Arthas' rampage before he became the lich king. And the third generation is the Death Knights of Acherus, hinted in the game to be former Argent Dawn Members, but your backstory can be whatever you want, as long as it works. The possible fourth generation that was mentioned, was discovered during Eastern Plaguelands when Gidwin Goldbraids was kidnapped and almost turned into a death knight by some higher ranking remaining scourge. Aurius Rivendare fits into this category.
How the Death Knights Act
Despite popular belief, Death Knights are not cold, cruel, mindless beings. Take Thassarian for example. Death Knights are in most ways exactly how they were before they became what they are now. They search for a purpose, now that the Lich King is dead, but it's not hard to find one with the current conflicts going on between the Alliance and the Horde.
Death Knights are normally solitary in nature but might summon a minion if they prefer a pawn to use. Death Knights have varying morals, some willing to raise even the most holy of paladins from the grave as their minion.
Unique Qualities of Death Knights
The first generation's abilities are undefined as far as their necromantic powers, the second generation pretty much shares the same powers as the first generation. The Fourth generation possibly different powers.
A unique quality of generation three is that they require a Runeblade to use their magic, contrary to game mechanics a Runeblade is necessary for all their powers. And the saronite armor they don is mostly unpierceable (See Adamantine) and can absorb magics and reflect them back after awhile, this armor is exclusive only to the Undead who can resist Yogg'Saron's whispers. Death Knights have a constant addiction to slaughter and hurt others, sadism a common trait in their kind.
Generation two and four Death Knights do not require a runeblade to use their powers. Generation Three Death Knights need the Runes in their Runeblades to use their powers, although game mechanics doesn't show it. Razuvious tells you a Death Knight can't fight without his Runeblade. This is mainly because third generation Death Knights use Vrykul Rune Magic, while second generation Death Knight use Necromancy, Shadow, Blood or Frost magic.
Anyway, some generation two Death Knights (Those who got a Vampiric Runeblade) are extremely weaker without their Runeblade, as it stores their soul and power. This is the case of Arthas, but not all of generation two Death Knights use this kind of Runeblade or a runeblade at all.
Contrary to belief (Mostly due to game mechanics), Death Knights are Undead and cannot be living for long using their dark powers. Those who take up the Runeblade and use its powers eventually lose their lives to the dark magics and become Undead, as Arthas lost his soul to Frostmourne and was turned Undead. The other way a Death Knight could become a Death Knight other than to become Undead from corruption, is to be killed and raised by a powerful necromancer into a Death Knight. As Death Knights you can manipulate the life you siphon from others to make undead minions or pull your enemies to you, or just strangle them. The Death Knight being Undead is immune to effects of poison, disease, bleeding, as you need to be living in order for those things to really affect you. Death Knights also have a vulnerability to light and holy land as shown at Light's Hope Chapel where the land weakened the Death Knights of Acherus.
Death Knights usually have allegiance to the leader of their current faction. Those free from the scourge or Old Horde likely suit their own needs and crush all opposition, Death Knights when it comes to authority can range from devout to possibly traitorous and as far as personality range from irritable to cold and rational.
Death Knights of the third generation are all the humanoid races. Each one being either a member of the Argent Dawn or a former warrior of the Horde or Alliance, or any other threat to the Scourge. The 2nd Generation consists of only humans and a few high elves or Dwarfs. The first of only human (Orc soul) knights.
The Worgen Death Knights are the former minions of Arugal who fled from him only to die by the hands of the scourge and be raised into their armies, but these are a rare commodity among the Death Knights, not being as abundant as the other races to be turned. Also, Pandaren Death Knights are extremely rare, as only a few of them were traveling around the world before the Lich King (Athas) was defeated.
Death Knights typically have pallid skin and eyes of varying colours, from grey to black to blue. The first generation have red or grey or black, the second generation typically green, to black, to blue. The third generation typically has only blue eyes. Dwarf death knight would usually have blue facial and scalp hair.

Obviously the German soldiers might notice a tree where there had not been one before. That's why the British Empire's Royal Engineers built fake trees to resemble specific trees in no man's land. During the night, they'd cut down the original and replace it with the fake:
To develop the O.P. Tree, Royal Engineers representatives selected, measured, and photographed the original tree, in situ, extensively. The ideal tree was dead; often it was bomb blasted. The photographs and sketches were brought back to the workshop, where artists constructed an artificial tree of hollow steel cylinders, but containing an internal scaffolding for reinforcement, to allow a sniper or observer to ascend within the structure. Then, under the cover of night, the team cut down the authentic tree and dug a hole in the place of its roots, in which they placed the O.P. Tree. When the sun rose over the field, what looked like a tree was a tree no longer; rather, it was an exquisitely crafted hunting blind, maximizing personal concealment and observational capacity simultaneously.

A new survey into sickness absence rates and costs highlights an upward trend in the number of sick days an employee typical takes, with many employers underestimating the cost of absenteeism, something Adrian Lewis from Activ Absence is urging employers to address.
The research from XpertHR[i] shows that the UK's median absence rate has risen slightly from 2.5% of working time in 2018, to 2.7% – translating to 6.4 days' absence per employee (up from 5.6 days the previous year). The cost of sickness absence in 2019 stood at a median of £568 per employee, but XpertHR says this is likely to be inaccurate because 42% employers said they did not know if their absence cost data was accurate or not.
Adrian Lewis says, "It's a worrying time for employers due to COVID-19 and the rise in the number of sick days people are taking will add to this. These figures may well increase this year and next too as the true impact of the pandemic is felt.
"The pandemic has put a huge strain on people and their families, both from a health perspective but also financially. People are fearful of their job security and the possibility of facing redundancy in the future. Homeworking has added to this with people feeling isolated from colleagues and the usual work environment.
"All of this can build up and cause both mental and physical illness, leading to more people taking time off sick. It's therefore vital that employers accurately track absence and manage it effectively to reduce the costs associated with absenteeism such as a loss of productivity, paying other staff overtime to do the work or having to hire temporary staff.
"An easy and accurate way for businesses to do this is by using absence management software, which will track absence, flag up patterns which can indicate issues and prompt return to work interviews. Having this data enables employers to put steps in place to better manage absence and reduce costs by understanding why people are off sick.
"By monitoring absence trends employers can have complete visibility over their workforce and will know where to target support, such as wellbeing and mental health support or changes that might be needed in the working culture to mitigate any issues people are having. This data enables companies to nip issues in the bud quickly and helps ensure a happy and productive workforce.Being informed is the best way to manage costs and ensure that absence rates don't get out of hand."

Rank tests for clustered survival data when dependent subunits are randomized.
In clustered survival data, subunits within each cluster share similar characteristics, so that observations made from them tend to be positively correlated. In clinical trials, the correlated subunits from the same cluster are often randomized to different treatment groups. In this case, the variance formulas of the standard rank tests such as the logrank, Gehan-Wilcoxon or Prentice-Wilcoxon, proposed for independent samples, need to be adjusted for intracluster correlations both within and between treatment groups for testing equality of marginal survival distributions. In this paper we derive a general form of simple variance formulas of the rank tests when subunits from the same cluster are randomized into different treatment groups. Extensive simulation studies are conducted to investigate small sample performance of the variance formulas. We compare our non-parametric rank tests based on the adjusted variances with one from a shared frailty model, which is an optimal semi-parametric testing procedure when the intracluster correlations within and between groups are the same.

An Edge Social Night
Edge Night Outline
Goal of this Night
The middle school youth will grow in community and get to know other youth in the group. Socials are typically a good way to gain interest from new youth or to break down cliques and encourage teens to meet new people. It is a great way to break up some of the teaching nights or to gain momentum for the beginning of a new semester or youth ministry year.
About this night
This is a fun Edge night that has great potential to really wow the teens. It will take the traditional game of mini golf and transform it into indoor glow in the dark putt-putt golf. From the moment youth walk through the door, they should be able to see the transformation of the room with this really cool environment. This is a perfect Edge night to take a break from the curriculum and have a fun-filled night with youth and Core Team! The night will begin with prayer, followed by game rules and team assignments. Then the teens will have an opportunity to play some mini golf and the night will end with fun awards, prizes, and prayer.
Before The night
Tell all middle school youth to come dressed in comfortable and light color clothing so that their clothes will glow with the black lights. Also, it might be funny if the Core Members come dressed in plaid golf polo's and visors, for added effect.
Create an indoor mini golf course:
1. Plan the course to fit the available space.
- Create a basic drawing of the space you plan to use on notebook or graph paper.
- It does not need to be exact in size but should represent the overall shape of the room.
- Plan out the course for mini golf – how many holes, where each one goes, and the general layout of each one.
- When you design the layout, remember to end each hole at the beginning of the next so that players can simply step forward to the next green.
2. Use 2×4 wood or something comparable to build a frame for each hole.
- You can build angles and corners into the course by planning holes to fit together like puzzle pieces; this will make the course more challenging and enjoyable.
3. Design the holes so that a hole-in-one is not impossible.
- Build holes where you can bank the ball off of a hazard into the cup.
- Make them challenging and try not to have any of the holes the same.
4. Use old sections of carpeting for the greens.
- You can use any type of carpeting except shag because the fibers are too long. Concrete flooring is too smooth to control the ball.
- If you don't have old carpeting around try calling a near by hardware store and see if they have any old carpet they could donate.
5. Cut the carpet sections so that the carpeting meets the outside edge of the frame you have made for each hole.
- Turn the carpeting face down then lay it over the frame.
- Nail the carpeting to the underside of the frame.
- Turn the frame over so that the carpet becomes the base, or green, of the hole.
6. You can now place your obstacles along the green if you haven't already built them into the frame.
- Build your obstacles out of wood blocks, coffee cans with the ends cut out, or plastic containers with weights in them as bumpers.
- The wood blocks can be nailed together as a "T" and placed at various angles to form corners or ramps (placed on its side).
- The cans can be made into tubes.
- Each obstacle can be moved or arranged to create a different course each time.
7. The "hole" for each course can be a cup on its side secured to the carpet.
8. Create a flag with the respective hole number to put on each putting green.
9. Once the course is completely set up with all the various obstacles put on the glow in the dark paint.
Swap all of the lights in the room with black lights to create the glow in the dark effect of the room.
Give each Core Member five stickers (each Core Member should have different stickers). One sticker is for them and then they will put the remaining four stickers on four youths' hands as they come in the door (try to do two girls and two guys if possible). This will designate the teams for putt-putt golfing — adjust as needed for the size of the Edge group.
Environment is key to this night and will really be exciting for the Edge youth if it is done well. Make sure to do all the necessary prep work; it will take some time to collect all the supplies, especially if some of it is being donated. Make sure to leave enough time to make the course well; it is going to take a team effort to pull it off so be sure to rely on your Core Team for help!
- Golf putters
- Golf balls (enough for your group, always good to have extra!)
- Carpet squares
- Wood (to make frames for the putt-putt course)
- Background music
- Score cards
- Prizes for the winning team
- Material to create waterfalls
- Material to make caves
- Rockwork or rocks
- Black Lights
- Glow in the dark necklaces
- Glow in the Dark Paint
Suggestions for Supplies
(2 months prior)
Put a memo in your parish bulletin asking for these supplies.
Make phone calls to local mini golf businesses and ask if they have anything old and laying around that you can use.
Call local hardware stores and see if they have any old carpet or wood they could donate

A pie graph is the best way to show portions, or parts of a whole. You're starting to pick up some real science smarts!
Pie graphs represent data in a visual, easy to read manner, which helps us to understand data more clearly.
Using this pie graph, we can see just what portion of all the trash each particular type of trash represents
(how big of a piece of cake each type of trash "eats"). It's as simple as that!
Even though graphs can look simple, there's a lot of information in a graph.
Let's test your ability to read
Q1: What type
of trash makes up the biggest portion of trash? (Hint: look
at the biggest piece of pie and then match its color with the type of trash
found in the legend on the right.)
Q2: Can we say
what makes up the heaviest piece of trash from the graph?
Yes: - cigarettes
No: - not enough information provided

Sawantwadi was the former capital of the Kingdom of Sawantwadi during the pre-independence era. In 1947, it merged into the Dominion of India. Border issues at that time with nearby areas of Belgaum and Karwar were prevalent. There were initial plans of making it a union territory as it was a Konkani speaking area, However it was merged with the old Ratnagiri district. (The district was later divided into two districts called Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg). Until the 18th century, the Kingdom of Sawantwadi included a major portion of today's North Goa district (Pedne, Bicholim, and Sattari), as well as modern Kudal and Vengurla from today's Sindhudurg district. Pedne, Bicholim, Sattari were later taken over by the Portuguese as a part of their New Conquest (between 1765 and 1788) and merged with their Old Conquest to form Goa
Moti Talao is a majestic lake right in front of the palace which was constructed in 1874. It is a pride of the village. Tourists can take a round of the lake in peddle boats or sit around it and gaze at the beautiful view. There is a lot of art in Sawantwadi. One can find local artifacts made by the people here in the form of Ganjifa Art, Lace work, wooden crafts. Another famous attraction here is the popular Konkani Cuisine - you can buy freshly made Kokum Juice, spice mixes and dried fish. This old market of Sawantwadi has been transformed into a modern local market where you can find the best of Konkani culture from handicrafts to clothes and food.
Sawantwadi (मराठी: सावंतवाडी) is a taluka (a unit of administration) in the Sindhudurg district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The taluka
headquarters is Sawantwadi which has a municipal council, which is a local civic body. Sawantwadi was formerly the capital of the Kingdom of Sawantwadi, ruled by the Sawant Bhonsle royal clan of the Marathas.
Until 1850, Sawantwadi was known as Sundurwadi. The name Sawantwadi came into usage because of the surname of the state's ruling family of Khem- Sawants. The palace was earlier located on Narendra hill. Khemsawant III

Let $G= SL(2, F)$, given a torus $T$, the Weyl group with respect to $T$ is defined to be $W=N(T)/Z(T)$, the quotient of the normalizer $N(T)$ of the torus by the centralizer $Z(T)$ of the torus.
My question might be basic and elementary for some of you, but I would like to be in a complete understanding.
Why Weyl group of $SL(2, F)$ is the group $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$?
share|improve this question
It's not made explicit here what field $F$ is given, though the tag p-adic-groups is suggestive. Usually "the" Weyl group is defined for an algebraic group over an arbitrary algebraically closed field, relative to any given maximal torus (all such tori being conjugate). It would help to know what kind of textbook source you are starting with, since the question is certainly "basic and elementary" once the context is clear. But more precision is needed if you start to look at fields of definition which are not algebraically closed. – Jim Humphreys May 6 '12 at 13:53
The field $F$ is non-Arch. local field and the tag for p-adic group because am dealing with $SL(2,F)$. – Dragon May 6 '12 at 15:52

Two people (so far) have tried to provide some sensible information, but I think the question itself is too loosely formulated to have a real answer. What you are looking at is the group of rational points of an algebraic group of rank 1 over a certain type of infinite field, which could be of characteristic 0 or not. This group itself is just an abstract group, which doesn't immediately have a definite "Weyl group" attached. It makes more sense to start with the algebraic group $G=\mathrm{SL}_2$, which is defined and split over any prime field. (The language of group schemes is appropriate here.) Over any field $F$, the group of rational points is just the usual group of $2 \times 2$ matrices of determinant 1 over $F$. It makes no difference for your question what $F$ is.
In $G$ there is a single well-defined (up to isomorphism) Weyl group $N_G(T)/T$ which just has order 2, as described concretely by Mrc Plm in the split case. All maximal tori of $G$ are conjugate as well as self-centralizing, so the choice doesn't matter.
However, if $F$ fails to be algebraically closed, the resulting abstract group $\mathrm{SL}_2(F)$ is more challenging because $G$ typically has more than one class of maximal tori defined over $F$. In your rank 1 case it's not so bad because there are just two possibilities, the "split" and "anisotropic" (or "compact") types of maximal tori. The structure of the normalizer modulo centralizer of each type has to be looked at case-by-case in terms of the "absolute" Weyl group. In higher ranks the situation gets more complicated. Anyway you have to take account of the variation of structure in the points of $G$ over an arbitrary field.
Again I'd emphasize that the basic theory coming from study of algebraic groups doesn't depend on which field of definition $F$ (even finite) you are ultimately interested in, though of course the end results about rational points depend heavily on that field. There are somewhat different expositions of all this in standard textbooks, but the idea is always the same in your limited situation.

Let $T$ be a split torus over a field $F$.
The Weyl group is by definition a subgroup of the group of outer morphisms (defined over $F$).
There are only two automorphism (the inverse and the identity) of $T$ (defined over F), so the group of outer automorphism is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/2$.
Both can realized by the conugation via the non-trivial element $\begin{pmatrix} 0 & -1 \newline 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ and by the identity elment respectively.
So the Weyl group has at least two elements, hence exactly two elements.
Similiar you can argue for the maximal split torus in $SL(n)$ or $GL(n)$.
For non-split tori, the question is more difficult to answer. I know only the $GL(n)$-situation. In $GL(2)$, the tori is isomorphic to a multiplicative group of a quadratic field extensions, and the outer automorphisms of the tori are isomorphic to the Galois group. Now these can be realized by conjugation of elements $GL(2)$, but they can not be realized by elements of determinant $1$.

For your last sentence, note that $O_2(\mathbb{R})$ does not embed in $SL_2(\mathbb{R})$. – S. Carnahan May 18 '12 at 8:19
Yes. I guess it is clear that every thing should be defined uniquely up to conjugation, and surely the determinant will be preserved, so I win my bet;) – Marc Palm May 18 '12 at 11:20
One can approach this from different point of views:
On a matrix level, the subgroup consisting of the diagonal matrices is an example of a torus $T$. Its centralizer is $T$ itself, and its normalizer $N(T)$ the group of monomial matrices in $G$. One then verifies that $N(T) / Z(T)$ is the cyclic group on two elements.
One can also use the projective line $\mathbb{P}^1(F)$. Then the centralizer is the subgroup fixing the 'apartment', which in this case is a pair of points of the projective line, pointwise. The normalizer is the subgroup of $G$ stabilizing this apartment. The Weyl group (the quotient) is then the group of faithful automorphisms of the apartment. So the Weyl group here consists of the identity and an involution switching the two points of the apartment.

Prospect Gardens Park
10940 S. Prospect Ave.
Chicago, IL 60643
Botanical Garden: Picnic, Walk
In 1872, when developers were platting the early suburb of Morgan Park, they set aside nearly three acres of property on Prospect Avenue as parkland. In 1905, the Village of Morgan Park transferred the property to the Calumet Park District. In 1906, the Calumet Park District officially designated the park, originally known as Prospect Park, Prospect Gardens. The District adopted a park plan designed by noted landscape architect Jens Jensen; among Jensen's creations was a lily pond begun in 1909. The Chicago Park District took control of Prospect Gardens in 1934, when the 22 park boards were consolidated into a unified district.

A Sapper's Lullaby
Introduced by Virginia Haussegger, ABC News presenter, Canberra.
But it's his second career as a musician that came to the fore in Uruzgan province, when he wrote a song about the death of Australian soldier Ben Ranaudo.
"Dust in Uruzgan" captured the hearts of many serving in Afghanistan and a second song, "Sapper's Lullaby" has become an anthem for soldiers and their families.
Now, with Australian forces about to depart Afghanistan, this is the story of a diplomat with a difference.

Six centuries of history
The tapestry history in the region contributes to the "myth Aubusson": the origin of the tapestry's establishment in Aubusson and Felletin gets lost in the legends.
The origin of the "de la Marche" tapestries (region of Aubusson and Felletin) is obscure. It has been attributed for a long time to the Arabic world, as some are linking it to an old legend evoking a Saracen troop, lost after the 732 battle, where Charles Martel stopped the Arabic expansion towards the North.
Some other writers, amongst them George Sand, spread the hypothesis that in the late 15th Century, the exile of the Ottoman prince Zizim in Bourganeuf (40 km away from Aubusson) went along with the establishment of Turkish textile workers' workshops.
For some others, it is between the alliances between Flemish families and "de la Marche" lords that this origin is to be searched, because they are said to have influenced the setting up of weavers from Arras or Hainaut near Aubusson and Felletin in the 16th or 17th Century.For that matter, the writing mentions from 1457 onwards in Felletin, allows considering an older local activity of wool linens and blankets would have given rise to a specification towards the tapestry.

Crystal Planes :
Crystal Planes Within a crystal lattice it is possible to identify sets of equally spaced parallel planes. These are called lattice planes. In the figure density of lattice points on each plane of a set is the same and all lattice points are contained on each set of planes.
MILLER INDICES FOR CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC PLANES :
MILLER INDICES FOR CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC PLANES William HallowesMiller in 1839 was able to give each face a unique label of three small integers, the Miller Indices Definition: Miller Indices are the reciprocals of the fractional intercepts (with fractions cleared) which the plane makes with the crystallographic x,y,z axes of the three nonparallel edges of the cubic unit cell.
Miller Indices :
Miller Indices Miller Indices are a symbolic vector representation for the orientation of an atomic plane in a crystal lattice and are defined as the reciprocals of the fractional intercepts which the plane makes with the crystallographic axes. To determine Miller indices of a plane, we use the following steps 1) Determine the intercepts of the plane along each of the three crystallographic directions 2) Take the reciprocals of the intercepts 3) If fractions result, multiply each by the denominator of the smallest fraction
IMPORTANT HINTS: :
IMPORTANT HINTS: When a plane is parallel to any axis,the intercept of the plane on that axis is infinity.So,the Miller index for that axis is Zero A bar is put on the Miller index when the intercept of a plane on any axis is negative The normal drawn to a plane (h,k,l) gives the direction [h,k,l]
