I have an image taken of a room directly at a sunny window. When I adjust the image brightness and contrast the window turns white. Is it possible use the wand to select the the portion of the image I *don't* want to be affected by the brightness/contrast treatment? I am I approaching this wrong way altogether? Tha...

I suggest using the adjustment layers, found at the lowest portion of your layers panel. It's the black and white circular icon. When you click this icon, you will find all the standard adjustment options: curves, hue/saturation, and levels. Create this layer above your image and make adjustments until the areas you wa...
Use the wand how you see fit to select the area you *don't* want to adjust contrast to; then duplicate the selection to a new layer in the same position. Then adjust the contrast on the original layer how you want, thus leaving the top layer unaffected. The problem you may get though is that the adjusted layer may lo...

I would simply create a console app that does the job and use the Windows Scheduler to schedule the nightly job.
You could use a [Scheduled Task](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308569), a Service, or, if you are going to be using a SQL script, a SQL Agent job. See here: [Writing a Scheduled Windows Service in .NET](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/164286/writing-a-scheduled-windows-service-in-net)

Turns out this is (more or less) possible by using the PyCharm console.

[Mail Notification](http://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify/) supports Gmail. It can check multiple accounts simultaneously so you can also use it to notify you of new mail in Evolution, Thunderbird or IMAP and POP accounts.
I know this question is quite old but it came up in my search and I thought I'd update. Evolution now supports IMAP+ or IMAPx which enables IMAP IDLE, and so gmail can push mail to it. <http://chenthill.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/evolution-with-improved-imap-support-imapx/>

Both have merits. It ultimately depends on you intentions for the project. If your intent is to eventually create alternate implementations of the interfaces it may make more sense to go with option 1. If this will be the only implementation of the interfaces option 2 would be more reasonable.
If you can you should put the interface clases into a seperate plugin/package. When you use interfaces you most of the time will have more than one implementation of this interface. I would prefer option 1

By definition an orbit occurs when gravity balances with the "centrifugal" force. It is essentially a **free fall** situation. So the answer is the same reason why you don't get stuck to the ceiling of a free falling elevator. Both the spacecraft and the occupants are moving **in-sync**.
The Shuttle (or the ISS for a better example since the Shuttle isn't flying any more) **isn't** rotating at a great speed...it's rotating about once every 90 minutes, once every orbit. This does have an effect, but a very small one. Its motion around the Earth doesn't produce any such effect because, as you guessed, i...

If you use **Phone Authentication**, Here is what to do: 1. Go to **Firebase Console** 2. **Authentication** ==> Sign-in-method 3. Go to **"Phone"** and pop-up will show 4.

I've run into the same problem. By default (for the free plan), firebase caps sign-ins to 100 per hour, per IP-address. This broke our automated testing. You can change the setting like this: * open console * open your project * go to "authentication" * go to "sign-in method" * scroll down to "manage sign-in quota" ...
One of the causes can be sending too may verification email to a user's email within a short duration of time. Try adding a duration timer and check if the verification message has been sent within the time duration.

One of the possible solutions: 1. Go to your Firebase console -> Auth -> Users table 2. Locate the user you are testing. 3. Delete this user. 4. Retest.

LDO regulators don't "transform" energy, they are "linear" regulators. Whichever goes into the load, nearly the same current will be drawn from the battery. So, within conditions of your task, the largest battery has 5 A-h capacity, the medium one has 1.7 A-h, and the smallest one has 0.6 A-h. Since the same current ...
The rather quick estimation is this: the power output needed for your intended purpose is 92.4 mW. Let's then assume that each LDO is 70% efficient. That means that for one LDO the input power drained from the battery is 132 mW. For two, the overall efficiency is 50% and will drain 188.57 mW. Your three batteries can...

The operative verb in Rom 8:18 is ἀποκαλυφθῆναι (= "to be revealed") which is Aorist Infinitive Passive. Thus, it has no tense at all. Such verbs are always accompanied by another verb somewhere close by to give the tense. Thus we might have: * was to be revealed = past * was to have been revealed = past perfect * is ...
In Greek, the future tense can be formed in several ways, one of which is by using the auxiliary verb μέλλω (mello) followed by the infinitive of the main verb. So, when μέλλουσαν (mellousan) "is about to" is combined with the aorist infinitive ἀποκαλυφθῆναι (apokalyphthenai) "to be revealed," it creates a periphrasti...

UPSes are roughly divided into *stand-by* and *in-line* classes. No matter what UPS you buy, it will have a surge suppressor and some basic filters. Stand-by UPS only kicks in when the mains power becomes "bad" (too low, too high, etc.) There is a several milliseconds delay, but basic PC power supply can survive that...
If you don't care about loosing unsaved work, then you don't need a UPS. The computer power supply makes sure the power to the drive is properly regulated. Either the power it delivers is correct for operation, or it shuts down; it won't let damage happen. If you are worried about surges, you can get a cheap surge supp...

Is there a convenient way to generate code from any new view controllers I've created on the storyboard? For example when you create a new iOS application, XCode will set up a skeleton class for your view controller. Thanks!

[ "https://Stackoverflow.com/questions/8684541", "https://Stackoverflow.com", "https://Stackoverflow.com/users/380414/" ]
I don't think so. You need to create a new ViewController subclass in XCode but uncheck the "Create Xib for this class" box (not sure if that is exactly what it says). Then select your newly made view controller in storyboard and change it to the class you just created.
Ok the skeleton you are talking about is just a template for your application. You are asking for a dynamic template generator from your storyboard and maybe Apple can figure out how to do this in a non distant future but in this moment I think you can't do that. After you created the storyboard file with your complex ...

It's an odd, overly wordy, and possibly redundant phrase that makes more sense when you recognize it's a narrator speaking off the top of his head, not from a prepared script. It's a compound of two ideas: > > The brain is the most important organ > > > The brain is required for survival (in terms of hunting abilit...
Consider the statement "The brain is the most important organ" and the phrase "as far as we are concerned". Combine the two and you get the sentence "The brain is the most important organ as far as we are concerned." This sentence is correct, but it is also very general. The word "with" is used to connect the word "su...

Although I also think adding more IP addresses is the simplest way forward, have you considered exploring reusing TCP connections between the F5 and the Traefik nodes instead of creating a new one per external request? I'm not sure how F5 supports that, but maybe it's as simple as switching to http2 between the F5 an...

Branching uses the current master branch as a basis for a new branch. If you want a blank slate, the best practice is to create a new project.
That's how branches are meant to be used. They are supposed to duplicate and then extend the master.

"faux delay" is pretty simple, you can just repeat the notes at whatever delay interval you want with descending velocity. Pulse waves and a noise source are really where it's at if you're looking for "video gamey" sounds in my opinion. Playing around with the pulse width will give you many timbres. It's very fun and i...

**On formatting**. You should list publications/drafts as they would appear in a bibliography. The reader will assume that you (co-)authored every document listed.

There's not really an elegant way to include some names that are scattered throughout. If you cite it as Bigdeal, J. *et al.* then it's implied that your in that list somewhere, but you can't really pick and choose just to highlight the fancy people scattered through the authorship list.
