How are cellphone IP addresses assigned? Where can the last FSTrim be seen as successful or not? (log files) I remember watching this one show when I was a kid in the 80's/early 90's in Canada. It was a live-action show about these two kids and had some puppet/muppet-like characters, but it kind of had a dark/mysterious element to it. I can't remember too much about it except portions of some episodes, but the main characters were kids, and they had some mysterious artifact (kind of like a compass?) that took them to this other world where there were giants and other mysterious beings that we rarely saw. The two kids weren't the only one's going to this place either, they find out kids from all around the world that also had this same artifact (and they all fit together like a round puzzle?). I seem to recall that the giants in this other world were the ones who made the artifacts, and were dying/or in desperate need of the help of the kids.  A couple episodes I remember:   There was one where the leaves were falling, and the world was doomed to end as soon as the last leaf touched the ground, so they're trying to figure out how to prevent all the leaves from falling, but after a long and suspenseful episode (for a kid) the last leaf dramatically falls, but out of no where the main girl catches the leaf and saves the world (it was very exciting for my young self, and I remember being very impressed with the pretty girl for thinking to catch the leaf).     There was another episode where the kids meet these two old guys with long white hair (muppets) sullenly working in a mine/tunnel, they're in tattered old clothes working away with their pick axes or hammers and they are connected to each other at the beard. This long old white beard grows out of one of their faces right into the other's. The kids save the day by cutting the old guy's beard in the middle, freeing them from each other. They celebrate being free from their bonds and excitedly thank the kids, but after the kids leave they continue to work away, this time in much brighter spirits. Seemingly unbeknownst to them though, as they work, their beards slowly and subtly grow back together.   Anyone else remember this show? For $n\geq 3$ there exist $x,y\in S_n$ such that $x$ and $y$ have order $2$ and $xy$ has order $n$. Assume that $n\geq 3$. Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group with $n!$ elements. Prove that there exists $x$ and $y$ in $S_n$ such that $x$ and $y$ have order $2$ and $xy$ has order $n$.  For $n=3$, it is easy to see that $x=(1, 2)$ and $y=(1, 3)$ works. How to prove it for the general case? How do I sort a list of dictionaries by a value of the dictionary? I have a list of dictionaries and want each item to be sorted by a specific value.

Finder: keep sort-by per-directory Importing QGIS3 processing tools in standalone script Inspired by , but for QGIS 3 (and therefore Python 3), I would like to use the QGIS processing algorithms in a standalone Python script without a GUI, with a standard installation of Ubuntu Linux.

Transit visa requirements at Narita Airport How do I alter a language item link? I am looking to modify the default output of Drupal 8 of links in a certain situation, the language switcher. Ideally I want to be able to do that in a twig template and not have to produce a  that overwwrites that whole link generation system and add a BIG if for the cases I need to overwrite.  I think the output layout should be controllable in the twig template similar to  (this answer outputs the same url for every languages)  I am using bootstrap as a base theme so i'd like to use the bootstrap markup for my links (btn btn-primary, dropdown)  Here is my code I am trying to make links--language-block.html.twig  {%- if links|length == 2 -%}     {# show only alternate language button #}     {%- for key, item in links -%}         {%- if not item.attributes['#options']['set_active_class'] -%} {# &lt;--- this is always true!? #}             &lt;a href="{{ item.link['#url'] }}" class="btn btn-primary"&gt;{{ item.link['#title'] }}&lt;/a&gt; {# #url is always the same what ever the language it is pointing to! #}         {%- endif -%}     {%- endfor -%} {%- elseif links|length &gt; 2  -%}     {# show selected language in button and other languages in drop down #}     &lt;button class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown"&gt;{{ selectedLanguage }}&lt;span class="caret"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/button&gt;     &lt;ul class="dropdown-menu"&gt;         {% for key, item in links %}             {%- if not item.attributes['#options']['set_active_class'] -%} {# &lt;--- this is always true!? #}             &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="{{ item.link['#url'] }}"&gt;{{ item.link['#title'] }}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;             {% endif %}         {% endfor %}     &lt;/ul&gt; {%- endif -%}   Anyone has an idea on how to do this? I have a really strange situation here. My PC works fine, at least in most cases, but there's one thing that I can't deal with. When I try to copy a file from my pendrive, everything is ok -- I got 16-19M/s , it works pretty well. But when I try to copy something to the same pendrive, my PC freezes. The mouse pointer stops moving for a sec or two, then it moves a little bit and it stops again. When something is playing, for example, in Amarok, the sound acts like a machine gun. The speed jumps from 500K/s to 15M/s, average 8M/s. This occurs only when I'm copying something to a pendrive. When the process of copying is done, everything backs to normal.   I tried everything -- other pendrive, a different USB port on front panel or those ports from back, I even changed the USB pins on motherboard (front panel), but no matter where I put my USB stick, it's always the same. I tried different filesystem -- fat32, ext4. I have no problem with the device on Windows, on my laptop. It has to be my PC or something in my system. I have no idea what to look for. I'm using Debian testing with standalone Openbox. My PC is kind of old -- Pentium D 3GHz, 1GiB of RAM, 1,5TB WD Green disk. If you have something that would help me to solve this issue, I'd be glad to hear that.  I don't know what else info I should provide, but if you need something, just ask, I'll update this post as soon as possible.  I tried to reproduce this problem on ubuntu 13.04 live cd. I mounted my encrypted partition + encrypted swap and connected my pendrive to a usb port. Next I tried to start some apps, and now I have ~820MiB in RAM and about 400MiB in SWAP. There's no problem with copying, no freezing at all, everything is as it should be. So, it looks like it's a fault of the system, but where exactly? What would cause such a weird behavior? I have a sight hosted on .ie domain but it is near the NI(Northern Ireland) border and the business has a lot of NI traffic. So when someone searches in NI with certain key words I would like the site to appear in the results, it currently doesn't.   I have seen this post    But was wondering the best way around this. Would it be to create a .co.uk version that redirects to the .ie site? Or would I have to create a separate .co.uk site?

I’m not inside verb or listing or any other special environments, and I’m not using XeLaTeX or anything—just normal LaTeX. I don’t want to change all quotes, just get the occasional straight quote. For example, I’d like a way to get something like this in the TeX:  ... some examples of these glyphs are curly quotes (``''), straight quotes ('"), and angled quotes ($'$$"$) ...   to look like this in the output:  ... some examples of these glyphs are curly quotes (“”), straight quotes ('"), and angled quotes (′″) ...   As I’m using an academic-publisher-provided template that does its own required font setup, I’m extremely wary of changing fonts or font encodings. I think the template uses the times package, and the formatting instructions say all fonts must be Type 1. Prove that if $n$ is a natural number and $(3n+1)$ &amp; $(4n+1)$ are both perfect squares, then $56$ will divide $n$.   Clearly we have to show that $7$ and $8$ both will divide $n$.  I considered first $3n+1=a^2$ and $4n+1=b^2$. $4n+1$ is a odd perfect square.  - so we have $4n+1\equiv 1\pmod{8}$; from this $2|n$ so $3n+1$ is a odd perfect square.  - so $3n+1\equiv 1\pmod{8}$ so $8|n$ but I can't show $7|n$. How do I show this?  Thanks for the help. Problem with clickable archive.org URLs
