Hypervalent, parents learn their children what is eatable and not eatable, at age child is pretty young, and can't argue about it. Later is harder. They give him/her various meals to take and taste. Eskimo give their children f.e. seal to taste and eat, learn them it's food source. The most of western people wouldn't, most likely, take it. Asian's people learn their children to eat insects. With autistic child is not so easy. Parent has issues with communication (depending on level of autism), not to mention persuading child to try different food sources. To try something new. I am just encouraging OP to try something new. If they won't try it, they won't know it. I have seen plentiful of children without autism which had f.e. "tomatophobia", and literally hate tomato soup. One child, which was on the winter holidays, started vomit, when cuisine in hotel's restaurant gave them.. potato cakes (I know, it's silly, but it's the real story from 25-30 years ago). Now that "child" would be able eat potato cakes, with just scowl (it's not me BTW).

Have you tried mixing food in blender to create soup.. ? Soup is better digested, therefor there is needed less than not blended food to get the same amount of kilocalories to organism. Soup can be kept in thermos to be hot for many hours. Another advantage over solid food. What is BMI of your child? Is it less than 18? 15? If not, your child has enough food for his needs. BMI = mass/height^2 (mass in kilograms,height in meters). f.e. mass=90kg,height=1.9meters, BMI=90/1.9^2=24.93 <=15 too small, >=25 too large. ~18 optimal for beautiful female, ~23 optimal for athlete male with muscles. Maybe your child does not have food phobia.. Instead he does not like your food? You should try taking him to various countries restaurants, starting from Asian's (Chinese,Taiwan,Malaysia,India,Vietnamese,Japanese, etc.) to check out how he reacts for such "abnormal" cuisine. Bananas are very nutrient. Mix 4 in blender, put on pancakes for breakfast, smear them, and nearly nobody will be hungry for several hours. No need for additional sugar. Maybe some cinnamon. Blending strawberries with kefir, little sugar, and it's very nutrient and healthy.

Does JavaScript cookies work the same as in PHP? If so, you were doing it wrong in the initial source code: you need to generate all cookies prior anything is printed to output. http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php Cookies are generated and sent in HTTP response header, prior the body of HTML page. You can use f.e. <?php header("Set-Cookie: name=user");?> Instead of setcookie() and it'll perfectly fine. http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php But if it's: <?php printf( "<html><body>Blah</body></html>" ); header("Set-Cookie: name=user");?> It won't work as expected! There is generated body of response, so header is already sent.. It can't be sent the second time. You probably copied code of setCookie/getCookie/checkCookie from http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_cookies.asp as they look nearly the same as yours. Have you checked what output (in personal firewall packet log for instance, or php script printing HTTP headers) what header you will get if you use multiple times yours JS's setCookie().. ?

My near death event? (I hope you find it of interest?)
Sensei replied to Alan McDougall's topic in The Lounge
There was TV document yesterday about NDE. Several people were describing what happened after they went sleep in hospital while surgery etc. events. According to documentary in 10-15% of the cases, there was abandonment of body. Some more smarter hospital doctors started putting things in invisible places from the ground, on f.e. top of closet. And asking people who experienced NDE what is there (visible from the top of room if you're flying above everything, but invisible from anywhere from room, even surgeons and nurses could not know what signs/things are there). So far nobody has given conclusive answer what was placed there.. Jesus would appear in teared rags rather than gold.. -
If I would have $100k... I would buy 50 lathe devices. I have seen Metal Lathe for $1200 with VAT in our local Leroy Merlin shop this week (not the cheapest one available. The cheapest one was for $620). Wholesale and export to 3rd world country (Africa,South America,Asia) would be cheaper. Pay local homeless persons to build hall (after learning them how to work with concrete, bricks, if needed). The rest of money spend on bricks,concrete,and buying land for hall. And learn them how to use lathe devices, sheet bending, pipe bending, furnace, drill. etc. They would bring beer Aluminium cans or other metal to hall, from the whole city, melt them in induction furnace, creating bars of metals. Half of metal would be for us, half of melted metal they (homeless, unemployed, or simply workers could not afford to buy lathe) could do with it and lathe some new things for free for sale by them. There would be several homeless/unemployed persons learned at the beginning how to use lathe tool, to learn further one coming to hall. 1) it's not business that has to bring money. If it's zero, it's fine. 2) It is suppose to learn these poor people how to use more advanced tools, like lathe, furnace, metal bending tools, pipe bending tools, etc. Or even learn them that such tools exist and could be used. I have seen plentiful documentary videos with European comming to Africa and finding out that these poor people buy used damaged plastic sandals with holes, melt them in provisionally made furnaces, and creating from them... wheels for barrow.. Then bend piece of metal found on scrapyard to barrow.. And producing from them wheelbarrows for local poor farmers. with availability of lathe, and induction furnace, they would be brought to completely different level of metal work.. In the mean time they could polish their English.

Exactly. If routine is in the middle of writing/appending file to disk, and there is crash, or error interrupting writing process, file will be corrupted. Or if there is lack of power shutting down the whole computer (and UPS is not present). Professionally written software write to temporary file, then at the end, rename old file name or move old file to backup folder, then rename temporary file to final name. Or rename old file, then write new file with final name. And delete/move renamed old file to backup. If initialization/loading routine finds out that file is corrupted, it checks if there is backup, and ask user to use it instead.

The AI mind will be uncluttered by everyday problems and human frailties;simultaneously handle and play with more algorithms, as well as exponentially faster. But AI has no body, no hands, no legs, can't do anything in the real world. Otherwise it's android. What AI (as computer, without the real body) says, "must be" listened by the real humans around it (IT technicians? Programmers? Scientists?), and released to public, and "listened"/"obeyed" (or not) by the real people.. BTW, you're dreaming, AI can analyze only supplied data, nothing more. If it will receive wrong/not complete data, it could output wrong suggestions.. You don't need any AI to save energy used by cars, at all. There is just needed free of charge public transportation, free buses, free railway, free trams.. One bus is 100-200 people with cars less on road.. While oil/gasoline usage plentiful less. But it's instant hit at oil & gas industry, and car producing & selling companies.. Which means that these companies will lobby (or scuttle other ways) against it to not lose profits.

If the real intelligence can't do that, how artificial intelligence can do that? Are you suggesting that some people will start listening "voice" of artificial intelligence more than voice of living scientist? The problem with climate change is rejection of it by incompetent idiots, and bribed scums that used to be scientist (better describe them as "attended to universities and then learned nothing") and became paid prostitutes that will sign whatever big company will tell them to sign under their name, to protect their source of profit.. That's probably subject for another thread..

Zen would disallow AI to make ANY decision.. "On his sixteenth birthday the boy gets a horse as a present. All of the people in the village say, "Oh, how wonderful!" The Zen master says, "We'll see." One day, the boy is riding and gets thrown off the horse and hurts his leg. He's no longer able to walk, so all of the villagers say, "How terrible!" The Zen master says, "We'll see." Some time passes and the village goes to war. All of the other young men get sent off to fight, but this boy can't fight because his leg is messed up. All of the villagers say, "How wonderful!" The Zen master says, "We'll see." " (I heard version that ends up with death of boy, but could not find it ATM) ...as every the smallest decision can lead to tragedy.. You can decide to go to work 5 minutes earlier, and you end up dead in car accident, your family have loan for apartment (yet another "zen's decision": you couldn't know it'll have bad or good consequences in future, if you wouldn't die it could be good decision), and bankrupt without your income, children have to steal to survive, and become criminal, ending up in prison etc. etc. ...and all starting with quite neutral "go to work today earlier"..

Particle/object can escape Earth, when it's accelerated to velocity higher than escape velocity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_velocity If particle is already above atmosphere, it could happen because of hitting it by highly accelerated cosmic ray particle. (at the end of Sun, amount of cosmic ray particles, emitted and accelerated by the Sun, will be so large that they will vaporize/ionize the whole atmosphere) Hydrogen (~0.09 g/L) and Helium (~0.18 g/L) gather in the outermost region of atmosphere, as they are significantly less dense than Oxygen (~1.43 g/L) / Nitrogen (~1.25 g/L). Water vapor (~0.8 g/L) is less dense than Oxygen and Nitrogen, but the higher altitude, there is lower pressure and low temperature, and it turns to solid form of matter, which are source of crystals. Disallowing it to reach even higher altitudes. ps. I never understood why some people write H(twenty), instead of H(two)O...

Species of the same kind communicate. Myth Busters once wanted to check duck quack. Took one duck, and for hours tried to make him/her quack. Nothing. Then they realized that quack is a way to communicate with other ducks. After gathering couple of them they started quacking each other. And Myth Busters could finish their experiment. Duck knew there is no sense to quack to human. Would you talk to duck if it would be in the same room as you, knowing he/she can't understand you? https://youtu.be/-0CGJNuyzwQ?t=31s We don't know what pet dog or cat is "saying" (most likely because of laziness and believe in human supremacy over animals etc) But every pet owner from experience knows when dog wants to get outside, or when cat is hungry. They try to "tell" human what they want. (some even try to record sounds of animals and compare with database of previously recorded sounds, to decode what they said) Your initial sentence can be rephrased to "living organisms want to be with other living organisms that understand them, and they can communicate each other". Pet animal understand what we want from them, some common used commands, or their name (given by owners). They spent enough time with humans, since the beginning of their life, so they learned some human words. Birds (like parrots) that can be learned to "spell" human words, can easily be learned how to use them in proper places, like "water", "food", etc. By giving them what they want, when they "spell" them. Chimps can be easily learned it by using tablet/touchscreen with images of fruits and other stuff. Once they click right image on screen, they receive what was on picture (like banana,apple,orange,etc). ps. Do you have some pet? I could prepare you some Android app, with touch screen feature, with couple, built-in images, so cat or dog could press them.. and you will give your pet what was on screen.

UFO means Unidentified Flying Object. It does not automatically means Extraterrestrial Intelligence Flying Object. In which sense you're trying to use it. If I would take piece of paper, roll it, glue, attach wire/strand to bottom and place there candle and fire it up. Inside of rolled paper there would be created lower density of air, than around it. I would basically make Chinese lantern. If somebody would see it flying, especially from far distance, could not be able to tell what it is (therefore it's Unidentified Flying Object for him/her). Surprise would be later when light would disappear, it happens at few hundred meters or more above ground.

Your "business" means nothing to me.. I would say it's very weak business, ends up after at most 50-80 Earth's years (or less)... The richest person of the world would swap everything for the poorest person of the world for a day of life more. The poorest person of the world would not swap it, other side with dead the richest person of the world, that died.

Because people want to live forever/as long as they can, and be beautiful forever/as long as they can... For the same reason the majority of priests exist: they will ensure you they have knowledge how to make you live forever. In afterlife.

I am wondering why nobody mentioned that Nadiya Savchenko has been released from russian prison (swap for two russian terrorists yevgeny yerofeyev and alexander alexandrov) http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36378173 ps. Does it mean that life of one Ukrainian is worth two lives of russian terrorists? Why not one hundred?

Can any object approach another at greater than light speed?
Sensei replied to Alan McDougall's topic in Relativity
In Special Relativity nothing that has rest-mass can travel faster than speed of light. (and particles with rest-mass equal zero travel at speed of light) You should use Special Relativity velocity addition formula: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity-addition_formula -
Neanderthals Built a Water Reservoir
Sensei replied to Enthalpy's topic in Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology
I have better news for you. Bonobo builds a fire and toasts marshmallow The problem with "constructions" is that they are typically made of material easy to process. Animals use wood, early humans also used wood. And nothing remained to our time. Beavers are building dam from wood. If they would extinct, prior human, nobody now would believe that they could build dams.. -

What instantly appeared in my mind, watching your pictures, is that you didn't draw Hydrogen atoms. You have Bromine connected to Carbon, which is connected to other Carbon. But you should have BrCH2CH.. This lead to further errors. IMHO, you should draw this in the first place:

Illegal characters in nickname of forum members
Sensei replied to Sensei's topic in Suggestions, Comments and Support
Injection of code to execute in string passed to forum software as nickname (or any other parameter that is not properly checked prior putting in database, send by f.e. HTTP GET/POST methods). f.e. if you have PHP & MySQL db, which is not properly protected from injection, somebody can send string like " ' ); [some code here]" command is finished by apostrophe (or so), and then closing parenthesis, later come commands to execute and intercept the whole server for example... Don't make this thread a lesson how to break-in some server.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_injection -
He probably misspell, and meant 35 C, instead of 45 C.

Hello! I noticed that newly joined member http://www.scienceforums.net/user/117635-n≡xt/ used some generally considered as illegal characters in his/her nickname. It's potentially dangerous for database, and security, if code responsible for accepting nickname is allowing any characters in UTF.. Only nicknames with a-z,A-Z,_,-,0-9 should be allowed to be made IMHO. Please notice we can't even write his/her name in reply, don't know what key press on keyboard to have these three horizontal lines (second char in nickname).. He/she made it accidentally, but revealed potentially dangerous leakage of forum software. Best Regards!

By "pure water" what do you mean? Distilled water? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distilled_water Deionized water? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purified_water I have tried to do electrolysis of distilled water (distilled by me, a few minutes prior electrolysis), with 230 Volts, and after hours (the whole night >12 h) there was not a single bubble of Hydrogen nor Oxygen in graduated cylinders (to catch gas) above electrodes.. I used 24 carat Gold (14 nor 18 can't be used, because soon you will have some Ag+ and/or Cu2+ ions floating and destroying experiment) on either positive and negative electrode. Ammeter showed 0 A, and watt meter showed 0.00 kWh energy used. Then I dropped (literally) single drop of tap water to container (approximately 2 L of distilled water), and electrolysis started, ammeter started showing I>0A. Maybe 0.01 A, I don't remember exactly, it was long time ago, but the smallest current it can show.
