The hospital is "in Church Road" or "on Church Road"?
ON an American street, but IN a British one. Do the twain ever meet?
Is particle superposition reflected in the particle's gravitational footprint? Pixelated wallpaper/background I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my Lenovo IdeaPad Y510P today. Everything worked fine, but after installing my graphics card driver the background became pixelated (Nvidia GeForce GT755m). I downloaded the driver through Additional Drivers and selected Version 331.113 (Proprietary, tested). It was using Nouveau before.  When I apply Nouveau it becomes clean again, but it is much weaker when I open games, it gives me very low FPS even in Counter-Strike. With Nvidia driver FPS and everything else seems fine, except things look pixelated and when I minimize windows and maximize again, the window goes black.    I attempted to solve the problem myself by removing the old Nvidia driver and manually installing the latest version, but it did not help.  Please let me know if you need more details. While watching  I noticed a very characteristic camera shot. At a scene where the main character, Wendy, sits in her room at the computer (watching the supposedly foretelling fotos), her sister talks to her from the outside (asking if she can have the camera/fotos). There is a certain camera shot, where on the left side a frontal close-up of Wendy's face is shown, while on the right side you see her sister standing in full height inside the open door.    This shot immediately struck me as being somehow characteristic and out of place and infused feelings to me of some kind of older Hitchcock or Brian De Palma thriller or something the like. I also think to remember of having seen this kind of shot or something similar used in , where Jessica Lange is shown in front of the dresser talking to Nick Nolte who stands in the door or father away.  I would like to know if this technique has a certain name or theory behind it and where its origins lie, or if there is any particular director or movie who made this famous. It may be even that Final Destination 3 uses this especially in reference to some director or movie. What exactly is a photon? Consider the question, .  The answers say, "an elementary particle" and not much else. They don't actually answer the question. Moreover, the question is flagged as a duplicate of,  &ndash; the answers there don't tell me what a photon is either. Nor do any of the answers to  mentioned in the comments. When I search on , I can't find anything useful. Questions such as,  look promising, but bear no fruit.  say things like, "the photon is an excitation of the photon field." That tells me  nothing. Nor does the , which says:     The photon is the quantum of the electromagnetic four-potential, and therefore the massless bosonic particle associated with the electromagnetic force, commonly also called the 'particle of light'...   I'd say that's less than helpful because it gives the impression that photons are forever popping into existence and flying back and forth exerting force. This same concept is in the  too - but it isn't true. As , "Virtual particles only exist in the mathematics of the model." So, who can tell me what a real photon is, or refer me to some kind of authoritative informative definition that is accepted and trusted by particle physicists? I say all this because I think it's of paramount importance. If we have no clear idea of what a photon actually is, we lack foundation. It's like what :     Photons seem to be one of the foundation ideas of quantum mechanics, so I am concerned that without a clear definition or set of concrete examples, the basis for understanding quantum experiments is a little fuzzy.   I second that, only more so. How can we understand pair production if we don't understand what the photon is? Or the electron? Or the electromagnetic field? Or everything else? It all starts with the photon.   I will give a 400-point bounty to the least-worst answer to the question. One answer will get the bounty, even if I don't like it. And the question is this:    What exactly is a photon? The code below compiles, but has different behavior for the char type than for the int types.  In particular     cout &lt;&lt; getIsTrue&lt; isX&lt;int8&gt;::ikIsX  &gt;() &lt;&lt; endl;    cout &lt;&lt; getIsTrue&lt; isX&lt;uint8&gt;::ikIsX  &gt;() &lt;&lt; endl;    cout &lt;&lt; getIsTrue&lt; isX&lt;char&gt;::ikIsX  &gt;() &lt;&lt; endl;   result in 3 instantiations of templates for three types: int8, uint8 and char. What gives?  The same is not true for ints: int and uint32 which result in the same template instantiation, and signed int another.  The reason seems to be that C++ sees char, signed char and unsigned char as three different types. Whereas int is the same as a signed int. Is this right or am I missing something?  #include &lt;iostream&gt;  using namespace std;  typedef   signed char       int8; typedef unsigned char      uint8; typedef   signed short      int16; typedef unsigned short     uint16; typedef   signed int        int32; typedef unsigned int       uint32; typedef   signed long long  int64; typedef unsigned long long uint64;  struct TrueType {}; struct FalseType {};  template &lt;typename T&gt; struct isX {    typedef typename T::ikIsX ikIsX; };   // This  int==int32 is ambiguous //template &lt;&gt;            struct isX&lt;int  &gt;    { typedef FalseType ikIsX; };  // Fails template &lt;&gt;            struct isX&lt;int32  &gt;  { typedef FalseType ikIsX; }; template &lt;&gt;            struct isX&lt;uint32 &gt;  { typedef FalseType ikIsX; };   // Whay isn't this ambiguous? char==int8 template &lt;&gt;            struct isX&lt;char  &gt;  { typedef FalseType ikIsX; }; template &lt;&gt;            struct isX&lt;int8  &gt;  { typedef FalseType ikIsX; }; template &lt;&gt;            struct isX&lt;uint8 &gt;  { typedef FalseType ikIsX; };   template &lt;typename T&gt; bool getIsTrue(); template &lt;&gt;           bool getIsTrue&lt;TrueType&gt;() { return true; } template &lt;&gt;           bool getIsTrue&lt;FalseType&gt;() { return false; }  int main(int, char **t ) {    cout &lt;&lt; sizeof(int8) &lt;&lt; endl;  // 1    cout &lt;&lt; sizeof(uint8) &lt;&lt; endl; // 1    cout &lt;&lt; sizeof(char) &lt;&lt; endl;  // 1     cout &lt;&lt; getIsTrue&lt; isX&lt;int8&gt;::ikIsX  &gt;() &lt;&lt; endl;    cout &lt;&lt; getIsTrue&lt; isX&lt;uint8&gt;::ikIsX  &gt;() &lt;&lt; endl;    cout &lt;&lt; getIsTrue&lt; isX&lt;char&gt;::ikIsX  &gt;() &lt;&lt; endl;     cout &lt;&lt; getIsTrue&lt; isX&lt;int32&gt;::ikIsX  &gt;() &lt;&lt; endl;    cout &lt;&lt; getIsTrue&lt; isX&lt;uint32&gt;::ikIsX  &gt;() &lt;&lt; endl;    cout &lt;&lt; getIsTrue&lt; isX&lt;int&gt;::ikIsX  &gt;() &lt;&lt; endl;  }   I'm using g++ 4.something Best practice for Rails App to run a long task in the background? At college we use ArcGIS Desktop 10, but that does not function on my Mac so I have QGIS there instead.  I want to do my exercises with QGIS, but in ArcGIS Desktop we use .lyr files with ArcMap and .lyrx files with ArcGIS Pro, and they are not supported by QGIS.  Does anyone know, how I can connect the *.lyr files to my *.shp files to use them on my Mac with QGIS? Turning water pump on/off using Arduino Uno R3 I'm trying to build a simple system to turn a water pump every 24 hours for 10-20 seconds. I have 5V pump. When I connect it to 5V, GND it works but when I connect it to pin 12 (or any other digital pin) and GND it does not work. Here's my sample sketch:  int led = 12;  void setup() {                   Serial.begin(9600);   pinMode(led, OUTPUT);      }  void loop() {   digitalWrite(led, HIGH); }   What am I doing wrong? Connected to wifi successfully, but no internet connection Suppose a cleric casts Zone of Truth on a captured enemy. Unbeknownst to them, the enemy is a rakshasa. Zone of Truth says (PHB, p. 289):     You know whether each creature succeeds or fails on its saving throw.   But (MM, p. 257):     The rakshasa is immune to spells of 6th level or lower unless it wishes to be affected.   Assuming the rakshasa doesn't wish to be affected by the Zone of Truth spell, does the caster know this?  More generally, does a caster know when targets are unaffected by a spell they have cast, either because they have made saving throws, or because they are outright immune to the spell or its effects (e.g., casting Ray of Sickness on a shadow demon, which is immune to poison damage and the poisoned condition)? Volume generated by revolving the region in the first quadrant bounded by the parabolas $y^2=x$, $y^2=8x$, $x^2=y$, $x^2=8y$ about the $x$-axis. I came across this question from Schaum's Outlines of Advanced Calculus:     Show that the volume generated by revolving the region in the first quadrant bounded by the parabolas $y^2=x$, $y^2=8x$, $x^2=y$, $x^2=8y$ about the $x$-axis is $\dfrac{279\pi}{2}$.   My solution was to divide the region into three parts:    $$\pi\int_{1}^{2}(x^2)^2 - (\sqrt{x})^2\;dx = 4.7\pi$$  $$\pi\int_{4}^{8}(\sqrt{8x})^2 - (\sqrt{x})^2\;dx = 42\pi$$  $$\pi\int_{2}^{4} (x^2)^2 - \left(\frac{1}{8}x^2 \right)^2\;dx = 44.9\pi.$$  Hence the total volume will be  $$\pi(4.7 + 42 + 44.9) = 91.6\pi$$  which is wrong.  Can someone point out my mistake? Debugging automatic properties Fedora 25 and disabling whatever is listening on port 111 I've got a Fedora 25 x86_64 stand alone workstation. Something is listening on port 111 (identified with an nmap scan):  $ sudo lsof -i :111 COMMAND PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME systemd   1 root   36u  IPv4  15170      0t0  TCP *:sunrpc (LISTEN) systemd   1 root   37u  IPv4  15171      0t0  UDP *:sunrpc systemd   1 root   38u  IPv6  15172      0t0  TCP *:sunrpc (LISTEN) systemd   1 root   39u  IPv6  15173      0t0  UDP *:sunrpc   I disabled the Sun gear on the port with the following commands:  $ sudo systemctl disable rpcbind $ sudo systemctl disable sunrpc Failed to disable unit: No such file or directory   After reboot the port is still open.  It appears something other than Sun gear wants to listen on port 111. Or maybe systemd is not respecting my wishes to disable the unused service. Or maybe something else...  How do I determine what is trying to listen on the port, and how do I disable it?

When I turned it off, I scale and it is still affecting the illustration.  So I copy and pasted it into a new document (Making sure that the option was turned of when I created the new document), and it is still affecting the illustration.  How can I scale this object without it being affected by this option? What computer components are currently vulnerable to magnets? When I first started using computers, law of the land in computer class was never bring magnets near anything computer related, lest you lose all your data or screw up your monitor.  Now I am pretty sure magnets will still royally mess up a standard hard drive, and I know for a fact they screw up a CRT monitor.  Though I am also pretty sure they do not screw up a LCD monitor?  Now I have my phone which uses magnets to determine if it's docked, and it made me wonder.  Is it the power of the magnet preventing data loss or the sheer fact that whatever memory type in the phone is immune to it?  What about ear buds, as I know those have tiny magnets in them. Are those capable of damaging any electronic device currently in use?  I'm wondering if I'm being paranoid, but I really am not sure what magnets will damage and what they won't!  Is there a list, or rule of thumb for determining what will be hurt by magnets and what won't be? Calculate which day of the week a date falls in using modular arithmetic In  the main character (he is a mathematician) calculates the day of the week of someone's birthday (19/07/1992 is Sunday). I know (very) basic modular arithmetic but I can't figure out how to do it. Can someone point me to the right direction? It seems fun to do. Do database engines update when the updated value is the same? Can regular expressions be used to match nested patterns? Is it possible to write a regular expression that matches a nested pattern that occurs an unknown number of times? For example, can a regular expression match an opening and closing brace when there are an unknown number of open/close braces nested within the outer braces?  For example:  public MyMethod() {   if (test)   {     // More { }   }    // More { } } // End   Should match:  {   if (test)   {     // More { }   }    // More { } } A childish question (literally) -    My 8 year old asked me this morning: "Dad, what does 'physical' mean?" - and I found myself at loss for an ordinary language answer.   Every answer I could come up with ended up sounding like a definition of empiricism: "physical things are those things that can be observed", "physical means something that can be measured", "whatever can be verified and tested", etc....   Claiming that things that are physical are those things which are material or things that are described by physics seems circular.   Google:     phys·i·cal   ˈfizik(ə)l/   adjective   1.   relating to the body as opposed to the mind.   "a whole range of physical and mental challenges"   synonyms:   bodily, corporeal, corporal, somatic; More   2.   relating to things perceived through the senses as opposed to the mind; tangible or concrete.   "pleasant physical environments"   synonyms:   material, concrete, tangible, palpable, solid, substantial, real, actual, visible   "the physical universe"   And various dictionaries (here Merriam-Webster):      Definition of physical   1   a :  of or relating to natural science   b (1) :  of or relating to physics (2) :  characterized or produced by the forces and operations of physics   2   a :  having material existence :  perceptible especially through the senses and subject to the laws of nature   everything physical is measurable by weight, motion, and resistance — Thomas De Quincey   b :  of or relating to material things     lead to similar definitions.   How can one define "physical" in ordinary language terms? Is there a way of defining "physical" that doesn't presuppose empiricism? What is the rationalist definition of 'physical'?   Is there a definition that doesn't commit to either dualism or empiricism or to any epistemology? Notepad ignoring linebreaks Most documents I'm opening in notepad.exe under windows 7 lately, there are no linebreaks... everything just runs together.  The same documents in any other program, even previewed directly in Explorer, will show the linebreaks correctly.  this is happening with many .info files, .css, .js.. but not all of them.   I am guessing it's some kind of character encoding unix line endings something or other, but wondering if there's anything I can do or if anyone else has experienced similar and if I can make notepad work correctly. I prefer it to notepad++/other text editors for certain uses.
