Use case: Custom module to alter CONTENTTYPE_node_forms to hide some of many entity reference options when adding/editing a node. Then via a custom validate I set $form_state['values']['path']['pathauto'] = 0 and want to set the $form_state['values']['path']['alias'] depending on the parent item of the chosen entity reference since unfortunately Pathauto doesn't provide tokens for that. Finally the alias should look like that: parent-entity/entity/$form_state['input']['title'].  I builded that pattern by hand now and I'm asking me after I couldn't find anything, if I also have to rebuild the whole str_replace/preg_replace pattern of Pathauto or if there's a way to reuse the same pattern Pathauto is using for replacing spaces, special characters etc.?  Or is there maybe any other intelligent alternative to set a path alias pattern like that?
When writing my custom function I need to manually append node name to a taxonomy term link. To get the taxonomy term part done I use:    $link_uri = taxonomy_term_uri($term);   $path_alias = drupal_get_path_alias($link_uri['path']);   This works ok, now - I want to append node name ("/" . $node_name), but instead of raw string, I want the Pathauto transliterated output, as set in the URL alias configuration, for that node context.  What function should I use to mimic that output? I looked at hook_pathauto_alias_alter(&amp;$alias, array $context) but I'm not sure that's what I need.
Android WebView for Facebook Like Button Wave equation: $y=A \sin(\omega t-kx)$ or $y=A\sin(kx-\omega t)$? What is correct wave equation: $y=A \sin(\omega t-kx)$ or $y=A\sin(kx-\omega t)$?  How are these wave equations used in the positive $x$-direction and negative $x$-direction? I have an equation, such as:  \documentclass{report}  \begin{document}  \chapter{hello} \begin{equation} x=1 \end{equation}  \end{document}   And the equation appears as "x=1 (1.1)".

How to properly secure a wireless home network I'm soon going to be setting up a wireless network for me and some buddies and (hopefully) making it secure. I have some questions and concerns regarding this and figured someone here could give me a hand and steer me in the right direction.   I have a WRT55AG (version 2) loaded with the factory firmware. I've heard that it's possible to load your own firmware onto routers like these. Is it worth it? What can be achieved with it? I was wondering what kind of security I should use on my wireless. Ideally I would want all devices to be 'accepted', but I'm not sure how to accomplish this. I'm guessing it has something to do with MAC addresses, but I don't know the first thing about them. It would be great that ALONG WITH encryption (I'm told WPA2 is the best), every device would need to be added to a list of some sort before even being able to access the AP. Another feature I was thinking of would be completely hiding my wireless from showing up on other people's computer. Is this possible (like an SSID broadcast thing). Is it worth the trouble? One more option I was looking to implement would be bandwidth calculators. Ideally something in the router to measure the amount of bandwidth being used and how much has been used for that month (this has to do with bills and limits, obviously). Is it possible to throttle down speed when a certain limit is reached?   These are alot of points but I was hoping someone who has more knowledge than me in this subject could give me a hand and a few pointers. Hopefully all this is possible and I'm not dreaming :) Passing data between view controllers Is there an idiom available, that is exactly opposite to "Cake walk" or "Child's play"?

(E.g., this feature still works on my iPad, which is running iOS 9, but not on my iPod Touch, which is running iOS 11.)  This feature seems to have been removed at some point. When I search for an app under iOS 11 using Spotlight, it will find the app and let me run it, but it doesn't tell me which folder it is in.  How can I find out which folder an app is in now? Is it possible to create an iron door which responds to levers on both sides Jquery load() and PHP variables I am interested in how uncertainty can be accounted for when considering the risk of extinction of a species. Forgive me for extending a rather tired thought experiment, but at least it's familiar territory and I hope it illustrates what I am trying to understand.  Let's say that Schrödinger was not satisfied with killing and not killing only one cat, so he went out and collected the last 15 remaining Himalayan Snow-Cats. He put each one in a box with a vial of poison, hammer, and a trigger device for releasing the hammer. Each trigger device has a known probability of releasing the hammer within any given hour, and the poison will take 5 hours to kill a cat (things got a bit trippy when he used radioactive decay, so this time he steers clear of quantum mechanics). After one hour, Schrödinger receives a notice from the ethics board telling him he's nuts and ordering him to release the cats immediately. He pushes a button which opens a cat-flap at the back of each box, thus releasing them all back into the wild. By the time the humane society check the boxes, all the cats have bolted. Before anyone can restrain him, Schrödinger detonates the remaining triggers, so nobody knows how many of the cats were poisoned.  The probability that each of the cats is poisoned is as follows:   0.17 0.46 0.62 0.08 0.40 0.76 0.03 0.47 0.53 0.32 0.21 0.85 0.31 0.38 0.69   After 5 hours have elapsed and all poisoned cats have died, what is the probability that there are:   (A) More than 10 Himalayan Snow-Cats still alive  (B) 10 or less still alive (C) 5 or less still alive (D) 2 or less still alive Usage of brackets/parentheses When and how do we use the different kinds of brackets/parentheses&nbsp;— (){}[]&nbsp;— while writing English (not code)? Mapping Russia - Int'l dateline splitting polygon I am having the issue where the International Dateline is splitting a polygon I am working with.  I have a layer of the "Federal Districts" of Russia, and the eastern most federal district is being "cut" by the international dateline.   I currently have the data frame's coordinate system set to Asia Lambert Conformal Conic and this places the two "cut" polygons next to each other (how they should be).  I really need the polygon to not be cut and show as a continuous polygon.   I've researched up and down, tried changing the projection/coordinate system, but with no luck.  I've attached a screenshot of the one multi-part polygon that is being split by the international dateline.  I would like it so that there is no cutting of the polygon, and therefore no boundary line going through the polygon.  I've even tried transforming this multi-part polygon into separate, single-part polygons, then merge them back together, but anytime any part of any polygon crosses this line, it gets cut.  Layout View:    Data View: I was wondering if anyone knows how to configure a Windows 7 x64 Enterprise install that is on a domain to run a script if the user attempts to shutdown the computer - but I dont want the script to run if the user tries to log out.   Here is a bit of detail on my situation...  I have installed drive encryption software on 5 desktops that are in use by various people in my group.  These desktops are installed a few buildings away in a secure lab that very people have access to.   People in my group access these machines (8 Core 2600K Intel Sandybridge with 8GB RAM) over RDP to preform tasks that require heavy lifting that laptops are not well suited for.    I wrote a shutdown script (.hta file) to warn a user that if he/she shuts the computer down, they will have to get access to the lab and enter the drive encryption password in order to bring the machine back online.   The script has a timer that counts down for 1 minute and allows the user to cancel the shutdown command.    The script works as expected when a user tries to shutdown the computer, but I just realized that the script seems to run when a user tries to log off.  Is there any way to differentiate between a user logging off and a user shutting down a machine?   If possible, I would only want the script to run if the machine is shutdown.  If the user logs out, I would not want any script to run.  If this is possible, it seems like this would be managed via local Group Policy.     Let me know if you need any further details. Mirror cells so that a change in either cell updates the other I have 2 cells containing the same picklist values on separate sheets. I want the cells to mirror each other so that whenever I choose a new value in either sheet 1 or sheet 2, the value on the other sheet is updated to match the newly selected value. Is this possible?  UPDATE   Worksheet 1:   Worksheet Name: 'Live Forecast Tool' Cell containing picklist: C3:D3 (merged) Picklist values within range: ='SF MRF'!H5:Y5  Worksheet 2:   Worksheet Name: 'AH' Cell containing picklist: C3:D3 (merged) Picklist values within range: ='SF MRF'!H5:Y5    Cell C3:D3 needs to update to show the value that has been changed on the other sheet. Why Doesn't the Adamantium Bone Covering Kill Wolverine? I've seen the  here before, as well as on many sites on the web.  I've also seen different info on what was covered.  I'm not a huge X-Men fan, but I do enjoy the characters and stories, so I know I'm probably missing out on a lot, and may have missed the obvious along the way because I didn't read a particular series or something like that.  I had a relative die from leukemia a few years ago and that reminded me of basic junior high science: that red and white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow and must be able to reach from the marrow into the blood vessels.  The leukemia my relative had was the kind where the "bad" cells would surround the marrow and prevent the new "good" blood cells from getting out to the rest of the body.  So just how much of Wolverine's skeleton is covered with Adamantium?  If it's the whole thing, there'd have to be openings for new red blood cells to get out if he is to remain alive.  I've never seen a reference to this issue, is it ever addressed?  That also raises another issue along the same line: Are hard to reach areas, such as ball and socket joints covered?  If not, then stress on other covered areas could be transferred to the weaker uncovered areas, which would lead to breakage there.  And if joints like that are covered, is there anything to say how it was done?  Are there openings or gaps in the Adamantium covering on his body?  Are there any references to any of these issues that deal with them? What is the perception of students who take a gap year between their graduation and starting graduate school? I am an undergraduate mathematics major, entering my fourth year. I plan on applying to graduate school, but I have not yet taken the GRE exams, and there a few key courses (Topology and Algebra in particular) that I have not taken yet, so I am hesitant to take the Advanced Math GRE too soon. (If you're wondering why I haven't taken Topology and Algebra yet, it's because I was trying to secure a CS degree, which sidetracked my mathematical studies last year. It was a healthy branching out experience, and one that helped me realize my true academic passion.)  My main question: what is the perception of students who take a gap year between their graduation and starting graduate school?  I think I will take the GRE tests this fall, a) for practice and b) if I score high, then I might as well apply sooner rather than later. However, I ask this question to gauge how much energy I should put into preparing for the tests this fall. If I hear, "You should really do your best to avoid any gap in your education," then I will work my butt off in preparation for the tests. But if I hear, "It's totally okay take a gap year before going into graduate school," then I would give myself more freedom in terms of my non-standardized-exam studies, extracurriculars, and in general social activities. I figure the answer to this question won't be as cut-and-dry as I hope, but any advice would be appreciated!  Just to clarify, my gap year would not consist of me sitting at my desk taking practice GRE exams all day... That would be a pitiful use of my time. I definitely plan working either as an intern or a research assistant at a successful organization. It seems like the general consensus is that taking time off is okay, and potentially beneficial, assuming you actually do something in that gap. I have the following code  &lt;?php if ($handle = opendir('C:/xampp/htdocs/movies')) {     while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {         if ($file != "." &amp;&amp; $file != "..") {             echo $file."&lt;br /&gt;\n";         }     }     closedir($handle); } ?&gt;   When it does have mb language such as japanese, it doesn't display properly instead it display like kyuukyoku Choujin R ?????~? rather then kyuukyoku Choujin R 究極超人あ～る  Anyway to make it display the correct name or make it still download-able by others?  Thanks for helping me :) Is there a way to substring a string in Python, to get a new string from the third character to the end of the string?  Maybe like myString[2:end]?  If leaving the second part means 'till the end', and if you leave the first part, does it start from the start? How to prove this is a metric? I have 2 distance functions $d(x,y)=|x^2-y^2|$ and $d(x,y)=|x^3-y^3|$ and I am trying to prove that they are metrics on $\mathbb R$, or give a counterexample that they are not metrics on $\mathbb R$.  I managed to prove the first 3 properties for the 2nd function namely:   $d(x,y)\ge0$ $d(x,y)=0$ iff $x=y$ $d(x,y)=d(y,x)$   and I now have shown that the 1st function is not a metric.  But for the triangle inequality property, $d(x,y)\le d(x,z) + d(z,y)$, Im stuck on it. How would go about proving it for $d(x,y)=|x^3-y^3|$? Thanks.
