HTC Clock App: Can I change the default tab? | My girlfriend has an HTC One X running Android 4.0.3. She frequently uses the alarm to wake her from her afternoon nap, but she's a bit annoyed that the clock app always opens to the World Clock tab. I've tried rearranging the tabs in the hopes that the left-most tab would become the new default, but no dice. It still opens to the World Clock tab.

Constructing zero divisors in the higher dimensional Cayley-Dickson algebras | In this paper we give new methods to construct zero divisors in A_n =R^(2^n) the Cayley_Dickson algebras over the real numbers, for n larger than 4, and we also relate the set of zero divisors in A_{n+1} with the Stiefel Manifold V_{2^n -1,2} for n>3. We also introduce the notion of "Spectrum" (of a no zero double pure element) wich synthesize the information regarding the structure of the linear operators left and right multiplication by the element. We use this as a main technical tool to construct the zero divisors. | s2orc_title_abstract |

In 1990, the Dade County Public School System (DCPS) in Dade County, Florida, entered into a 5-year contract with a private company, Educational Alternatives Incorporated (EAI), to manage the educational services at South Pointe Elementary School. This paper presents findings of an evaluation of the DCPS-EAI collaboration at South Pointe. Data were gathered through a review of the contract and other documents; a site visit; and interviews with DCPS administrators, local school board members, teachers union members, and South Pointe principal, staff, and parents. EAI's main objective was to implement its Tesseract educational approach, maintain a student-teacher ratio of 12:1, provide training for teachers, improve student access to computers, and raise educational funds. EAI did not manage the school, but served as an advisor and consultant. Findings indicate that with few exceptions, EAI lived up to the terms of the contract. The Dade County Office of Educational Accountability (OEA) compared South Pointe to a demographically and geographically similar school and found no improvement in student academic achievement. However, OEA also reported that South Pointe showed improved attendance, higher levels of parent and community involvement, and favorable staff attitudes. Interviews revealed a surprising lack of distrust or fear of privatization, which appeared to be due to EAI's advisory role, independent fund raising, and limited contract period.

The sample observes 88 middle‐grades schools, beginning with the 1996–97 school year, and finds that, by 2006, four years postintervention, the achievement growth rate of schools run by educational management organizations (EMOs) had fallen significantly below the growth rate of district‐run schools in both reading and mathematics, whereas, in 2002, immediately prior to privatization, those schools later run by EMOs had achieved growth rates significantly higher than the rest of the district in reading and statistically equivalent in mathematics. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

The objective of this study was to apply a technique called preference mapping to the context of aesthetic website evaluation. Preference mapping is a method in which evaluators and stimuli are simultaneously represented in the same multidimensional space. User segmentations and drivers of preference can easily be identified. We argue that this technique is particularly suited for website design evaluation especially for alternative prototype comparisons. The application of this method to an actual dataset resulted in a better understanding of participant preferences that could not be reached through simple comparison of average ratings. | The first impressions of web pages presented to users was investigated by using 13 different web pages, three types of scales and 18 participants. Multidimensional analysis of similarity and preference judgements found four important dimensions: beauty, mostly illustrations versus mostly text, overview and structure. Category scales indicated the existence of two factors related to formal aspects and to appeal of the objects, respectively. The best predictor for the overall judgement of the category scales was beauty. Property vector fitting of the multidimensional solutions with the category scales further indicated the importance of beauty for the preference space. Aspects of usability, product design and aesthetics are discussed. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

Adding Electrical Sub-panel | Hello,
My house is currently powered by a 100-amp breaker panel.
The panel is full and I need to add a dryer and some outlets for the basement, and the easiest way to do it would be to add a subpanel.
After some research, this seems to be the best option (cost/difficulty):
1- Add 60-amp breaker to main box
2- Buy 100-amp subpanel, feed from 60-amp breaker @ main panel using 6/3 wire
3- Add new outlets and small stuff to subpanel, keep the big stuff like dryer and water heater at main panel, pulling less than 60-amp total at subpanel
This would be the cheapest solution, based on cost of 6/3 wire, 100-amp subpanel, 60-amp breaker.
Is this acceptable? Any suggestions, comments?
I know upgrading from 100-amp to 200-amp would be the ideal solution, but the cost is too much ($1500-2000), and I'm on a budget
Also, what type wire would you recommend me to use? | reddit_title_body |

where did tennessee get its name? | looks like it was named after Cherokee Indian villages called "Tanasi"\n\nFROM Wikipedia\nThe earliest variant of the name that became Tennessee was recorded by Captain Juan Pardo, the Spanish explorer, when he and his men passed through a Native American village named "Tanasqui" in 1567 while traveling inland from South Carolina. European settlers later encountered a Cherokee town named Tanasi (or "Tanase") in present-day Monroe County, Tennessee. The town was located on a river of the same name (now known as the Little Tennessee River). It is not known whether this was the same town as the one encountered by Juan Pardo.\n\nThe meaning and origin of the word are uncertain. Some accounts suggest it is a Cherokee modification of an earlier Yuchi word. It has been said to mean "meeting place", "winding river", or "river of the great bend".\n\nThe modern spelling, Tennessee, is attributed to James Glen, the governor of South Carolina, who used this spelling in his official correspondence during the 1750s. In 1788, North Carolina named the third county to be established in what is now Middle Tennessee "Tennessee County". When a constitutional convention met in 1796 to organize a new state out of the Southwest Territory, it adopted "Tennessee" as the name of the state. | yahoo_title_answer |

Interfaces for wearable computing applications have to be tailored to task and usability demands. Critical information has to be presented in a way allowing for fast absorption by the user while not distraction from the primary task. In this work we evaluated the impact of different information presentation methods on the performance of users in a wearable computing scenario. The presented information was critical to fulfill the given task and was displayed on two different types of head mounted displays (HMD). Further the representations were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of qualitative representations while the second group focused on quantitative information. Only a weak significance could be determined for effect the different methods used have on the performance but there is evidence that familiarity has an effect. A significant effect was found for the type of HMD. | In recent years, the development of wearable displays has seen a drastic increase. However, there is still a strong resistance to using wearable technology for fear of decreased visibility and attention to one's surroundings. To address this concern, this paper describes a series of experiments that study user tendencies related to viewing and placing text in head mounted displays (HMDs). From the results of two pilot experiments, we show that awareness is to some extent better for HMDs compared to smartphones, and find that users would prefer to place text in the background rather than the HMD screen. We then consequently build an intelligent system to manage placement of text such as e-mail and messaging using computer vision algorithms.?? Finally, through two experiments comparing automatic and manual text placement, we show that our system can mimic human tendencies with approximately 70% accuracy. | s2orc_abstract_citation |
A number of static checking techniques is based on constructing and refining an abstract reachability tree (ART) and reasoning about Linear Arithmetics. For example, in BLAST, each program statement is represented as a series of assignments of a linear functions to variables, and the procedure of predicate discovery relies on Craig interpolation of linear arithmetics and equality with uninterpreted function symbols. In this paper we propose an approach to extend the domain of mathematical operations a checker described can reason about with the certain operations with finite sets: adding and removing elements, testing whether set contains a particular element, or is empty. It being implemented, the ART doesn’t split at each operation. The tradeoff of it is more complex formulas for a solver to handle and incapability of using set-related operations in loops. We implemented the algorithm, proceeding from the resriction of making no modification in LA+EUF interpolation algorithm. We also provide results of the performance evaluation of the algorithm proposed and of the other known way to reason about finite sets. | We present a method of deriving Craig interpolants from proofs in the quantifier-free theory of linear inequality and uninterpreted function symbols, and an interpolating theorem prover based on this method. The prover has been used for predicate refinement in the BLAST software model checker, and can also be used directly for model checking infinite-state systems, using interpolation-based image approximation. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

Last month, Giuliani appeared on CBS News' "Face the Nation" and was asked by host Margaret Brennan about the July 4 deadline for a decision. "You've said now July 4th is when you expect to have a decision on whether the president will sit for an interview with the special counsel," Brennan asked. "Why are you dragging it out? Don't you know what you want to do now?"
Giuliani responded that he did not think Mr. Trump should sit down with Mueller, but was "leaving it open." He also said he was involved in "sensitive negotiations" with Mueller's team, and that there might be a "narrow area" in which the two sides could agree. "I think we've already agreed that it should be just audio recorded," Giuliani said, despite the precedent of former President Bill Clinton's on-camera testimony during the Whitewater investigation.
"We would like to see it limited to some specific questions about the heart of the probe – the Russian alleged collusion. We think that those questions could be answered quickly. We think two hours. They probably think four. So let's settle at three. That's the way you do a negotiation in good faith in this area. They have been in good faith." | ccnews |

Pakistan Denies NATO Report Connecting It To Afghan Taliban | According to a secret NATO report obtained by the BBC and The Times of London, Pakistan is actively supporting the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan. The leaked classified report further highlights the complicated relationship between the United States and Pakistan. If you remember, back in September the then chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff accused Pakistan of using extremist organizations as proxies to attack U.S. troops. As NPR's Quil Lawrence told Renee Montagne on Morning Edition, today, the leaked report doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know, but it does add some details. The BBC reports: "The BBC's Quentin Sommerville in Kabul says the report — on the state of the Taliban — fully exposes for the first time the relationship between the ISI and the Taliban. The report is based on material from 27,000 interrogations with more than 4,000 captured Taliban, al-Qaeda and other foreign fighters and civilians. "It notes: 'Pakistan's manipulation of the Taliban senior leadership continues unabatedly'. It says that Pakistan is aware of the locations of senior Taliban leaders. "'Senior Taliban representatives, such as Nasiruddin Haqqani, maintain residences in the immediate vicinity of ISI headquarters in Islamabad,' it said. It quotes a senior al-Qaeda detainee as saying: 'Pakistan knows everything. They control everything. I can't [expletive] on a tree in Kunar without them watching.' "'The Taliban are not Islam. The Taliban are Islamabad.'" The ISI, of course, is Pakistan's intelligence service and Islamabad is Pakistan's capital. At the core of the conflict is that Pakistan receives millions in U.S. foreign aid, yet at the same time it has been reported to be supporting militants actively fighting against the U.S. Analysts believe Pakistan would do this, because it believes the Taliban will regain control of Afghanistan and become a key ally, once U.S. and NATO troops pull out of the country. Pakistan immediately denied the reports. "We are committed to non-interference in Afghanistan," Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said according to CNN. "This is frivolous, to put it mildly. Pakistan has suffered enormously because of the long conflict in Afghanistan. A stable and peaceful Afghanistan is in our own interest and we are very much cognizant of this," he said. Quil reports that NATO warned against reading too much into the report. They pointed out it was based on interrogations and it "might be what the Taliban want people to hear." | npr |
how many households are in the city of naperville illinois | Naperville, Illinois City of Naperville incurred significant damage.

What's the weakest universe that could beat Phaaze and Dark Samus from Metroid Prime? | The battle I posted earlier pitting Phaaze against the ME-verse seems to be more lopsided than I thought it would be. However, we all know that the ME-verse is on the 'low tier' of sci-fi civilizations; so, what's the weakest universe that could beat back Phaaze and Dark Samus?
Obviously the Metroid verse is exempt from this, as is Samus. | reddit_title_body |

The Effect of Prestrain on Ductile Fracture Initiation of Steel | It is known that the ductility of steel lowers, when the prestrain is given to steel product. In the other, it has been clarified that the generation of the ductile crack of virgin steel can be evaluated by ductility limit curve presented by the relationship between stress triaxiality and equivalent plastic strain. In this paper, by using As-Rolled steel and TMCP steel for the sample material, the effect of the prestrain on the ductile fracture behavior was investigated. In the As-Rolled steel, the lowering of the ductility limit curve by the prestrain was confirmed. And, local cleavage crack was observed only in the fracture surface of test piece in which ductility limit curve lowers. From these results, it was clarified that the main factor of the ductility limit curve lowering was the generation of local cleavage crack. Then, we developed the technique which could uniformly evaluate the generation of the ductile crack by ductility limit curve of the virgin material by considering local cleavage crack. | s2orc_title_abstract |
