TI-Lists/Arithmetic

Arithmetic can be done with Lists in a variety of ways. A single item in a list can be used in an arithmetic expression. The operations that are normally used for single numbers can work on lists of numbers. And there are a variety of functions that do list operations on lists.

TI arithmetic
After an arithmetic expression is computed, the result is displayed, and this result is available in the Ans variable. For normal arithmetic, the result is a number. If the expression is followed by a STO> command, this number is stored in the stated variable, it is displayed, and it is also stored in Ans.

 * 5 + 7
 * 12
 * Ans + 1
 * 13
 * 4 STO> X
 * 4
 * 2 + 8
 * 10
 * X + Ans
 * 14

If the result of an expression is a list, the entire list is displayed and the entire list is available in the Ans variable.

 * {2,5,3}
 * {2 5 3}
 * Ans STO> L1
 * {2 5 3}
 * L1
 * {2 5 3}

Single Items in a List
To access or change a single item from a list, use the list variable followed by the item number in parentheses.

 * {2,7,4,9} STO> L1
 * {2 7 4 9}
 * L1(3)
 * 4
 * 8 STO> L2(3)
 * 8
 * L2
 * {2 7 8 9}

One way to put another item on the end of the list is to store the value in the next item number.

 * L2
 * {2 7 8 9}
 * 6 STO> L2(5)
 * 6
 * L2
 * {2 7 8 9 6}
 * L2(1) + L2(4) STO> L2(6)
 * 11
 * L2
 * {2 7 8 9 6 11}

Arithmetic with a List and a number
The operations that use two real numbers can also be done on a number and a list. The number operates on each of the items in the list.

Addition
 * 5 + {1,2,3}
 * {6 7 8}

Subtraction
 * 5 - {1,2,3}
 * {4 3 2}

If L1 is {7,8,9}
 * L1 - 5
 * {2 3 4}

Multiplication
 * {1,2,3} * 5
 * {5 10 15}

Division
 * {6,8,10} / 4
 * {1.5 2 2.5}
 * 60 / {3,4,5}
 * {20 15 10}
 * {10,12,15} / 6 >Frac
 * {5/3 2 5/2}

Exponents
 * L1 ^ 2
 * {49 64 81}
 * 3 ^ {2,3,5,6}
 * {9 27 243 729}

Roots (MATH 5)
 * 3 $$\sqrt[x]{}$$ {27,64,1000}
 * {3 4 10}
 * {3,4,6} $$\sqrt[x]{}$$ 4096
 * {16 8 4}

Set the decimal places to 2 (MODE down right right right)
 * 12 $$\sqrt[x]{}$$ {2,6,16}
 * {1.06 1.16 1.26}

Arithmetic with 2 Lists
All the arithmetic operations can be used with two lists. When two or more lists are used in an expression, each list must have the same number of values, or an error will occur. Each of the numbers in one list operates on the corresponding number in the other list. The result is a list of the same length.

Addition
 * {3,5,6} + {6,2,1}
 * {9 7 7}

Subtraction
 * {3,5,6} - {6,2,1}
 * {-3 3 5}

Multiplication
 * {3,5,6} * {6,2,1}
 * {18 10 6}

Division
 * {3,5,6} / {6,2,1}
 * {.5 2.5 6}

Exponents
 * {3,5,6} ^ {6,2,1}
 * {729 25 6}

Roots
 * {3,5,6} $$\sqrt[x]{}$$ {6,2,1}
 * {1.82 1.15 1.00}

Multiple operations
 * {5,4}({2,5}+{3,9})
 * {25 56}

Arithmetic Functions with Lists
All of the functions that work on real numbers can also work on a list of numbers. The result will be a list of the same length. In these examples the decimal place has been set to 2.

Square root
 * $$\sqrt{}$$({2,3,4})
 * {1.41 1.73 2.00}

Logarithms
 * log({2,3,4})
 * {.30 .48 .60}
 * ln({2,3,4})
 * {.69 1.10 1.39}

Exponential
 * e^({2,3,4})
 * {7.39 20.09 54.60}

Trigonometric (in radians)
 * sin({2,3,4})
 * {.91 .14 -.76}
 * tan -1({2,3,4})
 * {1.11 1.25 1.33}

Miscellaneous
 * abs({2,-2})
 * {2 2}
 * round({π,e^(1),9/7},2)
 * {3.14 2.72 1.29}

The functions that normally need two numbers can work on two lists or a list and a number. The length of the result will match the length of the list used.
 * min({4,3},{5,1})
 * {4 1}
 * gcd({32,27},36)
 * {4 9}
 * 6 nCr {2,3,4}
 * {15 20 15}

Each list created as the result of an operation is available using the previous Ans.
 * 2{5,8} STO L1
 * {10 16}
 * 3{4,2}
 * {12 6}
 * Ans+L1
 * {22 22}

TI-Lists/List Operation Functions

There are several kinds of functions that use or create lists. These functions are found in the LIST menus. The LIST menus are accessed by the 2nd function of the STAT key. It is just below the DEL key. Move over to the right one or two times to access the List menus.

There are several kinds of functions that use or create lists. These functions are found in the LIST menus. The LIST menus are accessed by the 2nd function of the STAT key. It is just below the DEL key. The functions that create new lists or change existing ones are found in the LIST OPS menu.

Functions that change lists.
The functions in this section change existing lists.

dim(
The list dimension function (2nd LIST OPS 3) has several uses. It will tell you the length of a list (how many elements are in the list.)

 * {1,3,5,7,9,11} STO> L1
 * {1 3 5 7 9 11}
 * dim(L1)
 * 6
 * dim({1,5})
 * 2

The result of a dim( expression is a single number.

By storing a number in the dim( of a list you can create a new list with a certain number of elements or change the length of an existing list.

Creating a new list, fills it with elements that are all zero.

 * 3 STO> dim(L1)
 * 3
 * L1
 * {0 0 0}

A list can be made shorter thus deleting elements on the end, or longer thus adding elements with zero value onto the end.

 * {2,4,6,8,10} STO> L1
 * {2 4 6 8 10}
 * 3 STO> dim(L1)
 * 3
 * L1
 * {2 4 6}
 * 6 STO> dim(L1)
 * 6
 * L1
 * {2 4 6 0 0 0}

Sorting
The sorting functions SortA( and SortD( are the first functions in the List Ops menu: (2nd LIST OPS 1) and (2nd LIST OPS 2). These functions sort the elements of the specified list. The first does an ascending sort (smallest item first); the second does a descending sort (largest item first).

These functions will not work on lists given with curly brackets. The parameter in the parentheses must be a list name. This is because the calculator operates on this list in memory as it is rearranged. The previous order of items is no longer available. Sorting does not create a new list.
 * {3,6,2,4} STO> L1
 * {3 6 2 4}
 * SortA(L1)
 * Done
 * L1
 * {2 3 4 6}

A decreasing sort works in a similar way.

 * {6,8,2,9,4} STO> L2
 * {6 8 2 9 4}
 * SortD(L2)
 * Done
 * L2
 * {9 8 6 4 2}

Fill(
This function (2nd LIST OPS 4) changes the specified list variable by replacing each element with the same value.

This function will not work on a list given with curly brackets. The parameter in the parentheses must be a list name. The previous items are no longer available. Filling does not create a new list.

 * {2,7,4,5} STO> L1
 * {2 7 4 5}
 * Fill(-3,L1)
 * Done
 * L1
 * {-3 -3 -3 -3}

You can start with all zeros.

 * 5 STO> dim(L3)
 * 5
 * L3
 * {0 0 0 0 0}
 * Fill(4,L3)
 * Done
 * L3
 * {4 4 4 4 4}

Functions that create new lists
The functions in this section create a new list. The new list is available in the Answer variable. If the list will be used later it should be stored in a list variable.

seq(
The sequence function (2nd LIST OPS 5) creates a list based on an expression and a range of values for the variable in the expression.

The first example makes a list based on 3x + 5, where x takes on the values from 1 through 6.

 * seq(2X+3,X,1,6)
 * {5 7 9 11 13 15}

Notice that the first parameter is the expression. The second parameter is the variable that assumes the range of values. The third and fourth parameters are the beginning and ending values for the range. The numbers in the range can be incremented by an amount other than 1, by using an optional fifth parameter.

There are several ways to create the same list as in the first example. Since the expression is linear, the range can be used to produce it.

 * seq(N,N,5,15,2)
 * {5 7 9 11 13 15}

The expression can contain any mathematical calculation, and the parameters for the range can be negative or decimals.

 * seq(round(sin(θ),2),θ,-0.7,π/8,0.3)
 * {-.64 -.39 -.1 .2}

Since this function creates a new list, if you want do something else with it, you must either use Ans or STO> it to a list variable.

We can do the first example again in several steps.

 * seq(J,J,1,6)
 * {1 2 3 4 5 6}
 * Ans * 2
 * {2 4 6 8 10 12}
 * Ans + 3
 * {5 7 9 11 13 15}

Here's another example that stores the non-rounded list:

 * seq(1/R,R,1,6) STO> L1
 * (1 .5 .33333333...
 * round(L1,2)
 * {1 .5 .33 .25 .2 .17}

cumSum(
The cumulative sum function (2nd LIST OPS 6) adds up the items in the list and creates a new list with the partial sums. The first item in the new list is the same as the first item in the original list. The second item in the new list is the sum of the first two items in the original list. The third item in the new list is the sum of the first three items in the original list. And so on. The last item in the new list is the sum of the entire original list.

 * cumSum({1,2,3,4,5,6})
 * {1 3 6 10 15 21}
 * cumSum(Ans) STO> L1
 * {1 4 10 20 35 56}

Once again, if the new list is to be used rather than just observed, it must be stored, or used immediately from the Ans variable.

ΔList(
The list difference function (2nd LIST OPS 7) subtracts adjacent list items and forms a list of the differences. This new list will be one item shorter than the original.

 * L1
 * {1 4 10 20 35 56}
 * ΔList(L1)
 * {3 6 10 15 21}
 * ΔList(Ans)
 * {3 4 5 6}
 * ΔList(Ans)
 * {1 1 1}
 * ΔList(Ans)
 * {0 0}

Using this function on a list with only one element will result in an error.

augment(
The list connecting function (2nd LIST OPS 9) has two list parameters. The result is a list with the two lists connected together.

 * {1,2 3} STO> L1
 * {1 2 3}
 * {6,7,8,9} STO> L2
 * {6 7 8 9}
 * augment(L1,L2)
 * {1 2 3 6 7 8 9)
 * augment(L2,L1)
 * {6 7 8 9 1 2 3}
 * augment({10,14,8},L1)
 * {10 14 8 1 2 3}
 * augment(Ans,{5,1,7}) STO> L3
 * {10 14 8 1 2 3 5 1 7}

The new list must be stored if it is to be used later.

 * SortA(L3)
 * Done
 * L3
 * {1 1 2 3 5 7 8 10 14}

"Green" Roofs
"Green roofs" refers to growing plants on the top of roofs of buildings. There are several different methods for implementing green roofs. Green roofs have been wide spread in Europe and especially in Germany. Now the concept of green roofs is starting to spread in the USA. Egypt has started a green roofs initiative as well but uses a different method for implementing green roofs.

Benefits

 * Space Efficiency
 * Except from keeping rain and sun off a building's occupants, roof space is essentially wasted. Green roofing makes use of this wasted space.

 * Air purification
 * Plants absorb pollution from the air. Growing plants on the roof of a building contributes to improved air quality in the surrounding city.  Obviously, green roofing will have a larger effect on air quality if it is employed in a widespread manner.

 * Aesthetic appeal
 * Even urban humans generally retain an aesthetic appreciation for being surrounded by plants. Green roofs can add a serene communal space to a building.

 * Food supply
 * Green roofing can be used as a source of vegetables and other edible plants.

Solar Panels
The solar panels can help to produce energy for a house, which can help to reduce or eliminate the cost of electricity.

They are best used in zones where there is a lot of sunlight, such as in the tropics or in very hot zones.

Dog Care/Training

Introduction
The proper training of the canine companion is essential to the coexistence of human and dog. While the task of training a dog or any other pet can seem daunting, the processes for training both everyday behavior and tricks are well established. Many people unfamiliar with dog training believe that it must be difficult, since so few dogs have any modicum of training. In fact, training a dog to be a well-adjusted member of a family is well within the reach of most people.

Dog owners normally train their dogs to be obedient and loving, to do tricks, and sometimes to compete in dog sports. There are multiple schools of thought on dog training, which run the gamut from training based on escape/avoidance to so-called "positive reinforcement" training in which no correction is used. While positive-only methods such as clicker training are currently in vogue, much if not most dog training is still accomplished using some sort of correction at some point in the training process. The single most important factor in dog training is that whatever method is applied is done so consistently.

Dogs can be trained by amateur enthusiasts to compete in obedience trials, various dog sports, for use in hunting, and to serve e.g. on volunteer search and rescue teams or as therapy dogs.

Moving to the professional side, dogs are trained for personal protection, security, police patrol, drug and bomb detection, evidence identification, etc.

Meta
There are several schools of thought on how to train dogs, ranging from what are often termed "Traditional" methods, based largely on avoidance or escape, to "Positive-Only" methods, such as Clicker Training. All of these methods when properly applied can be used to train most dogs to be tractable companions.

This project is aimed at novice and intermediately experienced dog owners. This book is about the basic training all dogs will need to have, for example to pass a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) or other similar certification. The training methods recommended in this book should be safe enough that a novice dog owner won't be in danger of harming a dog by following the instructions (or vice versa).

Additional topics in dog training include

 * Gun training
 * General dog care
 * Electrical, prong, choke collars, gentle leaders
 * Clicker training

Please, if you can contribute to this book, do so. I'm also not sure what the best way to organize the chapters is yet. Please feel free to rearrange the sections if it makes more sense to you.

What is dog training?
The key to successful dog training is communication. Dogs don't speak our language so we have to use a language they do understand.

Set your dog up to succeed... or to fail?
There are three stages to dog training. Motivational, correction and distraction (or 'proofing'). In the motivational stage, you will set your dog up to succeed, giving it short training sessions and big rewards in a quiet environment and with plenty of encouragement. For example, Sit. You will lure your dog, click, treat, big smile, excitement and if your dog slips, you shrug it off and do it all over again.

Come the correction stage. Positive Reinforcement trainers view not getting the reward as a correction. They also teach a "no reward marker", a word or sound such as "oops" or "uh uh" to signal the dog that no reward is coming and pick a new behavior. You're sure your dog knows Sit already. It does it even before the lure comes and you're very pleased. Now you try a 2 second stay without a lure. Your dog does it. You're pretty excited and the dog can feel it too as you dump a big reward on it. Next is a 5 second stay. Your dog slips. You give your no reward marker and help the dog figure out what is expected. Your dog learns to choose, correctly = reward, wrongly = correction, or no reward. The dog might get another correction but then it learns, a lightbulb goes up in its head, it has chosen the right path and gets the reward it has been waiting for all along. Using common sense, it is better if you are told what's wrong rather than be given little hints that aren't straight-forward.

Training should be done in increments. The biggest mistake novice trainers make is to move too fast. The dog has the mental capacity of the average 2 year old human child. They are sponges, but can only absorb so much at a sitting. Distractions should also be increased slowly. At first, you teach your dog a command, such as "Sit", in its own house. As the dog masters this, you start moving the dog to places with more distractions, the back yard, the front yard, the sidewalk in front of the house, etc.

There are certain common sense rules: when teaching stays, "with time comes distance". Teach your dog to stay while you are close to your dog and can keep him/her in the stay position, before you disappear around the corner. Once your dog learns to stay with you there for 5 minutes, putting that leash down and walking away is a piece of cake.

Also, never call your dog to you and punish him/her. If your dog escapes, after you have panicked, chased him around, screamed yourself senseless, etc. When your dog is finally back to you, YOU CANNOT PUNISH HER. She is incapable of understanding she is being punished for running away. She only knows when she got back to you, bad things happened to her and next time, she won't come back at all.

This indicates a huge problem with your relationship with your dog, and says your dog is not interested in being with you. Perhaps the dog hasn't been trained, or has fear issues, but you need to go back to square one and train your dog.

Food Lures
Luring with food is a very natural way to show the dog what you'd like it to do. Dogs generally will follow your hand with food. This can be used to teach many commands such as "sit" or "down". If you've ever wanted to create a cool treat for your doggie, with style AND flavor then try "Doggie Popsicles"

Doggie Popsicles
Ingredients
 * 2 bouillon cubes (beef, chicken, any flavor works0
 * 2 cups of water
 * an ice cube tray
 * a pot

Preparation
 * 1) Start by boiling the water in the pot.
 * 2) After the water is boiling, put the boullion cubes into the water.
 * 3) Let them cook until they dissolve, gently stirring them occasionally.
 * 4) After they are completely dissolved, take them off the stove. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
 * 5) Pour the broth into the ice cube tray. Put it in the freezer.
 * 6) Once frozen, give to your doggie. Watch him play with and eat his new treat!!

Cook time: approx. 15 min. Freeze time: approx. 2 hrs.

Discouraging Bad Behavior
There are many things dogs do that humans find unacceptable: Jumping up, mouthing, running away, urinating in the house, chewing, etc. The human has the big brain and should be able to manage the dog's environment so the dog doesn't get a chance to practice objectionable behavior. Don't leave shoes where the puppy can find them, teach the dog to "sit" when greeting people, yell "OUCH!!!" loudly when the puppy puts his teeth on you, go out with the puppy to be sure he potties outside and reward him instantly when he potties appropriately.

Teach your dog to do something that make the objectionable behavior impossible: teaching your dog to touch the palm of your hand with its nose, makes it impossible for the dog to mouth your hand at the same time. So instead of constantly correcting bad behavior, or just yelling "NO!" to your dog, you will learn to be proactive and not give it a chance to misbehave. Everyone is happier that way.

Redirect your dog when the behavior is inappropriate. If your dog is loose at the dog park, for example, and is starting to be rude to other dogs, call your dog and start walking briskly away. Your dog should want to be with you and will come.

Ignoring Bad Behavior
Sometimes it is best to ignore the bad behavior. Many times people inadvertently reinforce the bad behavior by giving the dog attention. For example, letting a dog inside while it is outside barking teaches the dog to bark to get inside. You are better off to wait until the dog has stopped barking for several minutes before letting it inside.

Distracting
Distracting the dog can be a useful tool to reduce the frequency of an undesirable behavior. A small rattle made from a plastic soda bottle, or a can with pennies placed inside can be shaken to distract the dog from repeating the behavior. Most dogs however only require your voice. A well timed 'Hey, quit it!' is very effective. Then ask the dog to do something that is incompatible with the undesired behavior. Instead of jumping up to Counter surf, call the dog to you and play some tug.

Be very careful using sound distractions, many dogs are sound sensitive and the shaking of the penny can may make your dog skittish. If your dog is sound sensitive, you can create a situation when your dog will learn to mistrust you.

Using Equipment to get control of your dog while you are training.

If you have a dog that pulls or lunges at other dogs barking, it is imperative that you not give your dog the opportunity to practice that behavior.

'Pulling'

If your dog just pulls, using something like the Sense-ation or other No pull harness. In this style of harness, the leash is connected in front of the dog's chest, so when the dog pulls, it inhibits should action and stops the pulling.

If your dog pulls and bark/lunges at other dogs, you need a head halter. There are several types of head halters available and all fit a bit differently from each other. Some of the most popular brands are the Gentle Leader, the Halti, the Comfort Trainer, the Snoot Loop. The basic idea is like the halters used on horses. A person can control a beast weighing over a ton by controlling the head. The same is true for dogs. The strap over the nose is the control. It hits a pressure point that both controls and helps calm the dog.

Another piece of equipment that can help with control is a prong, or pinch collar. Contrary to some myths, this is not designed to dig into the dog's neck or puncture the dog. If there is blood, the human is not only using the equipment wrong, but is guilty of abusing the dog. The prong should only be used as a last resort, after other alternatives have been exhausted. It can be an effective tool for dedicated pullers, but it is not recommended for dogs that lunge/bark. The tightening of the prongs on the dog's neck as it is looking at the dog it is lungeing at, can increase aggression.

Boobie-traps
Boobie-traps are items that will surprise a dog by making a loud noise when tripped or knocked over. They have a big advantage in that you don't have to be right there in order to correct the dog. This prevents the dog from associating you with the correction and allow for consistent correction even when you are out of the dogs sight. The effectiveness of these traps depends on the dog; some dogs are very calm and won't care that something fell, while others will learn on the first try and never trip the trap again. As always, use good judgment when formulating a trap. Do not cause harm to the dog, or cause an overconfident dog to get too scared.

Again, this can cause a lot of sound sensitivity. Management is the first defense. Pick up the shoes, keep food of off the counters, put the trash under the sink, etc.

Boobie-traps for use while training dogs can be made from various items:

Some traps can easily be produced from items found around the house. An object balanced on the edge of a counter may fall and frighten the dog when the dog sniffs at it. This is useful to deter a dog from patrolling the counter for food.
 * A 12 oz. soda can with several coins inside will make a lot of noise when it falls.

 * A small tuna can with water will splash the dog when it is tipped. (Of course, this is only useful if getting some water on the floor is acceptable.)

Some alarm systems to deter a dog from unwanted behavior can be purchased at your local pet store.
 * Motion alarms
 * trash can lid alarms

Walking on a Leash
Walking a dog gives it exercise to help it remain healthy. It is also an easy way for the person walking the dog to get a little exercise. A dog will enjoy being walked because it will be able to explore and see new things. A dog being walked can often be distracted by things like cars, strange noises, objects, plants, other people, or other dogs, so the person walking the dog will want to keep a good hold on the leash. Walking on a leash requires a collar and a leash, which may be purchased at a pet store.

It is important to teach a dog "loose leash walking". This involves teaching the dog not to pull and to walk with you regardless of distractions. Treats/clicker can be helpful in this task.

On of the most effective techniques is 'be a tree'. Dogs pull because they want to go somewhere. If you hold the leash tightly against your body, plant your feet and refuse to move forward when the dog pulls, the dog isn't getting what it wants. At some point, the dog will turn to look at you. When the dog looks back, the leash will get slack, you immediately reward the dog by moving in the direction the dog originally wanted to go. If the dog pulls again, stop moving until the dog looks at you.

This is effective because the dog learns that by not pulling, he gets what he wants. The dog is also learning to pay attention to where you are in relation to the end of the leash. This can build your bond and relationship. Let's work together instead of away from each other.

Another technique is reversing direction immediately when the dog begins to pull. This technique is not effective on a determined dog and will often result in the owner being rather dizzy. It works best on young pups as it is virtually painless.

People often use 'Prong collars' or other devices such as 'Haltis' to discourage and teach the dog how to walk nicely. Never ever use a traditional halter as it only encourages the dog to pull more (think sled dog). However, the Sense-ation, Sense-ible and Easy Walk harnesses are designed to lessen pulling and work very well.

Crating
Crating is the practice of keeping a puppy or dog in a kennel when you are not at home and at night. This provides a safe place for the dog and keeps them from being destructive when unsupervised. This is an excellent way to housebreak a new dog.

Basic Commands
Here are a few commands that almost every dog should respond to: Another good way to train them without reinforcement is to praise them while afar. They will hear this and come to you. Then, grant them more "good dog!" and such.
 * Come: This command, also referred to as the recall, is crucial. If the dog won't come when called, it is not an obedient dog.  One method for training begins by allowing the dog to wander out on a long leash or line, then calling it by name and the command Come.  This method might require a quick, light tug on the leash to get the dog moving when first teaching this command. Like all commands, it is successful only if the dog is rewarded when it completes the command and only if the practice is repeated—under different circumstances and distances and gradually removing the controls; until the dog performs flawlessly.
 * Sit: This command is also crucial. Sitting dogs are under the handler's direct control.  It is common to precede other commands, such as the Stay command, with a sit command.  One method for training uses a treat held in front of the dog's nose and passed back over its head, forcing the dog to sit.  Sit and Stay are used in conjunction with many other commands.
 * Stay: This command gives peace of mind. An owner can park her dog while doing something else.  One method of training involves placing the dog in a sit or a down position, then telling it to stay while stepping away from the dog.  If the dog stays, the handler rewards it while it is still in the position.  Indoors, use this command to park your dog under a favorite table or bench.
 * Lie down or down: this command allows even greater control than sitting. One training method uses a treat drawn forward and down across the dog's face, forcing it to lie down to get at it.  Since even people without dogs are familiar with this command and use it when dogs are bothering them, the better the dog is at it, the better it can get along with strangers and visitors. But don't get discouraged if the dog refuses or is reluctant to drop into position. The Down is a submissive position and often a dominant dog will refuse to give in.
 * Go to bed or get in: Directs the dog to go to its bed or its crate and to remain there until released. The dog has freedom of movement in that location to stand up, turn around, or lie down, unlike when placed in a Stay.  Useful to keep a dog out from underfoot and safe in a busy or complicated situation. Not a necessary command as the dog is taught to 'stay' already while in Down or Sit. Useful for Stand stays though.
 * Drop or drop it: Dogs pick up all sorts of things, some of which they shouldn't have. A dog that drops anything on command, no matter how attractive (which to a dog can be rotten and smelly), is a dog under control that the owner can prevent from eating dangerous items or from destroying valued personal property.
 * Leave it: An adjunct to Drop, directing the dog to not touch an item. Also useful before the dog has picked anything up.  One method of training involves leaving a treat on the ground and walking the dog past it without allowing the dog to pick it up.  Leave it is also used in conjunction with Take it.
 * Take it: The dog leaves a desired object, such as a toy or treat, untouched until given this command. This can protect an owner's, visitor's, or child's fingers.
 * Heel, Close, By me: The dog walks with its head directly next to the handler's leg and does not deviate until released. One method of training accompanies the command with a slap to the thigh indicating where the handler wants the dog's head.
 * Okay, Free, Break, or Release: Releases the dog from Stay, Heel, Sit, and so forth.  Also a general release to play. A clicker acts as a release.

The specific command word is not important, although the preceding list covers some of the more common words. Short, clear words that are easily understood by other humans are generally recommended; that way, people will understand what a handler is telling his dog to do and other handlers have a good chance of controlling someone else's dog if necessary. In fact, dogs can learn commands in any language or other communications medium, including whistles, mouth sounds, hand gestures, and so forth.

Less Common Commands
While dogs can be trained far beyond these rudiments, a dog that obeys these commands will be a pleasure to keep and take out. Off-leash obedience is the hallmark of a well-trained dog.

There are a few commands that many domestic dogs learn, but that are not part of the basic repertoire.
 * Stop – a dog that will simply stop whatever it is doing and lie down on command no matter how far it is from its keeper is a dog that can be taken anywhere. Some handlers use the German word Platz (related to "place", i.e. stay in position) for this action.  (Useful if your dog is in danger, or headed for some trouble. I.e., your dog is about to get run over by a car. He/she hears "Stop!" and drops and you can be sure it will not be hit. Much faster response than a "Come" command.)
 * Back up – keepers of large dogs or dogs with a reputation for aggressiveness can make strangers more comfortable by teaching the dog to back up on command. (Also useful if you are carrying a large box or something and the dog's in your way.)
 * Growl – the inverse of backing up. Some owners teach non-aggressive dogs to growl on a subtle command – not the word growl, usually a small hand gesture – as a way of letting strangers know that you and your dog value being left alone.
 * Steady – keep near by. The dog can walk free, but not dash off.  Train to this command with a long leash, calling out Steady when the leash is taut.  Continue off leash.
 * Stand – dog stands still. Train from lying-down position by lifting under belly while repeating command.  Useful for grooming.  Many dogs are groomed frequently and need to stand quietly during the process.
 * Speak – for amusement or showing off, a dog may be trained to bark on command.
 * Chase Recall –
 * Paw, or Give Paw – Pretty much for showing off, a dog may be trained to give you a "handshake". (Though it's also very useful if the dog needs to get their nails clipped or they have an injury.)
 * Shake – Very useful after baths, or walks in snow or rain.
 * Roll Over –
 * Jump –
 * Calm – tells the dog to stop growling and/or playing roughly. Similar to Back Up.

Games
Games can be fun for both the dog and the owner.

Here are some games that can be played with a dog:

 * Fetch – This is a game where the owner throws out an object and the dog retrieves it and gives it back to the owner. It can be played with a small ball like a tennis ball, a frisbee, a stick, or any small light object that is easy to throw and easy for the dog to pick up and carry. Large balls can also be used.

 * Hide and Seek – You hide and your dog seeks. It is more difficult but worth attempting to make your dog hide while you seek.

 * Tug-of-War – It should first be noted, that some (perhaps most) experts state that this game can teach or instil aggressive behavior in your dog. However, most dogs love playing 'Tug-of-War,' and if vigorously participated in by the owner, will allow the dog, especially a younger dog, to use a lot of its extra energy. One rule of the thumb is that you decide when the game ends and you always win. Never let your dog win even if it means pinching your dog's lips against it's teeth to get it to let go. A 'drop it' command is very useful for this.

Chewing
One of the causes of destructive chewing behavior in younger dogs, as with children, is 'teething.' A good suggestion, that will allow your dog to relieve it's discomfort, without destroying your home, uses only a used, but clean hand, dish, or other small towel.

Soak the towel in clean drinking water. Wring out the excess, until the towel no longer drips. Tie the towel in a knot, and place in the freezer (you may want to place the towel in a freezer bag to protect other items). Once frozen it can be given to the dog as a chew toy.

A more expensive but better way is to purchase toys for your dog. The most popular amongst chewers is the Kong toy. Stuffable and challenging to even the most seasoned of veterans. Squeaky toys are noisy but fun to the dog as it mimics an animal that the dog has attacked. Dogs are often observed 'pouncing' on these.

Jumping up
First you have to decide if you want to allow your dog to jump up on people or not. Then you need to be consistent in enforcing the rules. Being consistent is the important thing to help your dog learn what is acceptable behavior.

Even if you decide it's okay, you may encounter other people who don't like it at all. NOT jumping on people is generally considered good doggie manners. Once you've made the decision that it will not be allowed you have to train your dog to understand what the rules are.

To teach a dog not to jump up on you, simply turn your back on the dog when he jumps up. The dog wants your attention. When you turn away from him, you give him the message that jumping up on you will not earn your attention. After a short time (a few seconds) of having you back to the dog, turn back to him and give him another chance to keep his feet on the ground. If he does stay down, praise or reward him for it. He may well try to jump up again then, because he hasn't yet learned what is getting him the praise and what is making you go away. But the dog will figure it out. Most dogs catch on quickly, after just a few times of ignoring him. But remember, it will take a while for your dog to really learn what is expected. So, don't be surprised if the next time he greets you he jumps up. Just be consistent in letting him know it's not acceptable. Keep the emotion out of it. You don't need to scold the dog or correct him. The fact that he is not getting the desired result from jumping on you will be self correcting to him.

You should also ask your visitors not to encourage jumping up on people. You can explain to them that they should turn their back on your dog if he attempts to jump up on them. A good alternative to permitting a dog to jump up on people is to teach him to sit when greeting people. Only praise and reward your dog when he is sitting. Turn away if he jumps up, as described above. He will learn to offer sitting to get the attention he seeks.

Begging
Don't reward your dog for begging. Dogs learn to beg quickly if you drop food even just a few times and even if you dropped the food on accident. Teach it to lay down out of the way while you are eating or cooking. Crating or a stuffed Kong is also recommended. If you can't prevent the dog from getting the food (this is usually the case when small children have the food) it is best to remove the dog from the room while eating. A well timed correction is also another way to deter Begging forever.

Chasing Other Small Animals
Everyone has heard stories about the dog who ate the gerbil, hamster, or even human baby. Try not to let this happen. Correct the dog (via training collar or voice) for attempting to even sniff the animal. It will soon learn to ignore it.

Stealing Food
Once the dog learns it can steal food, it's hard to break it out of the habit. A good way is also corrections, teaching the Leave It and anticipating the dog's action and reacting (verbal correction, taking the food away and turning the dog away, etc.).

Getting in the Trash
There are two situations to consider

1) dog gets into trash when you are present (supervising)

It will be helpful to teach your dog a "Leave It" command. But start by teaching the command in a more controlled situation with a single piece of food.

2) dog gets into trash when you are NOT there to supervise

Dogs are dogs, they get into trash if it's left out for them when they are unsupervised. Put the trash somewhere where your dog cannot get to it. Or get a trash can that your dog cannot get open.

Digging
Best way to avoid this is to occupy the dog's time. Training, toys and walks are excellent ways. You can also use chili powder to cover up the digging spot.

Scouting/BSA/Railroading Merit Badge

Merit Badge Requirements
1) Do THREE of the following:'' A) Name three types of modern freight trains. Explain why unit trains are more efficient than mixed fright trains.''

Mixed freight trains- contain freight coming from many different origins. Unit trains - contain freight all originating from one place, for instance a refinery, or a chemical plant. These are more efficient because you don't require all of the time in a rail yard connecting and disconnecting to attach the required freight. Intermodal trains- contain flat cars that hold various containers (18 wheeler containers). These are useful in the respect that their freight can be transferred from ship to rail to roads easily.

B) Name a Class 1 or regional railroad. Explain what major cities it serves, the locations of major terminals, service facilities, and crew change points, and the major commodities it carries.

Class I Railroad: There are four primary Class I Railroads in the United States: Union Pacific, BNSF, Norfolk & Southern, and CSX. The Union Pacific and BNSF primarily operate west of Chicago and the Mississippi River, while the Norfolk Southern and CSX mainly operate east of Chicago and the Mississippi.

BNSF Railway - The BNSF Railway (AAR reporting mark BNSF), headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, is one of the largest railroad networks in North America (only one competitor, the Union Pacific Railroad, is comparable in size).

The BNSF Railway is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation, the holding company formed by the September 22, 1995 merger of Burlington Northern, Incorporated and the Santa Fe Pacific Corporation. According to corporate press releases, the BNSF Railway is among the top transporters of intermodal traffic in North America, and moves more grain than any other American railroad. It also hauls enough coal to generate roughly 10% of the electricity produced in the United States.

Largest Intermodal Facilities (2004 Volume):

Lifts Hobart Yard (Los Angeles, California) 1,318,000 Lifts

Corwith Yard (Chicago, Illinois) 744,000 Lifts

Willow Springs (Illinois) 724,000 Lifts

Alliance (Fort Worth, Texas)561,000

SanBernardino(California)557,000

Cicero(Illinois)502,000

Argentine(KansasCity,Kansas)305,000

LogisticsParkChicago(Illinois)275,000

The Union Pacific is headquartered in Omaha, NE, and is the largest railroad in North America following a series of mergers between the mid 1980's and 1990's: Chicago North Western (CNW), Denver Rio Grande & Western (DRGW), Southern Pacific (SP), and Missouri Pacific (MP). It serves most states west of the Mississippi River, as well as Illinois and Wisconsin.

CSX Transportation is headquartered in Jacksonville, FL, and is the largest railroad east of the Mississippi, serving most states east of the Mississippi River and part of Canada. CSX came about as the result of a 1980 merger between the Seaboard Coast Lines and the Chessie System. SCL was formed as the result of several mergers between the Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line Railroad, and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Likewise, the Chessie System was a combination of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and the Western Maryland Railway.

Norfolk Southern is headquartered in Norfolk, VA, and came about from the 1982 merger of the Norfolk and Western Railroad and the Southern Railroad. It serves most states east of the Mississippi River and part of Canada.

Kansas City Southern is headquartered in Kansas City, MO.

C) Using models or pictures, identify 10 types of railroad freight or passenger cars. Explain the purpose of each type of car.

Is there anyway to write a program that searches for all messages by your e-mail address, compiles a list of message IDs, then feeds that list into Google's tool?

I think a lot of people would use this. What language would you use to code this?

General Chemistry/Metallic bonds

Review on structure
Atoms are particles composed of 3 subatomic particles. The protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and the electrons orbit this nucleus. These electrons can leave the atom and this is important to note especially for metals. The energy required to remove an electron is referred to as ionization energy and is very low for metals and so metals tend to lose their outermost (valence) electrons whenever possible. The attractive force between electrons and the nucleus is referred to as the electrostatic force of attraction. This electrostatic force is very strong and is capable of holding large structures together.

Overview
Metallic bonds occur among metal atoms. Whereas ionic bonds join metals to non-metals, metallic bonding joins a bulk of metal atoms. A sheet of aluminium foil and a copper wire are both places where you can see metallic bonding in action.

When metallic bonds form, the s and p electrons delocalize. Instead of orbiting their atoms, they form a "sea of electrons" surrounding the positive metal ions. The electrons are free to move throughout the resulting network. The electrostatic force of attraction between this "sea of electrons" and the positive ions acts as a form of "glue" holding together the metallic structure.

Properties
The delocalized nature of the electrons explains a number of unique characteristics of metals:

Reactivity and solubility
Nearly all metals are near completely insoluble in most solvents whether organic or inorganic. This is because the bonds between metals are exceedingly strong and solvents cannot dissolve the metal. However, if the metal undergoes a reaction and forms an ionic compound it can dissolve. Metals react when an electronegative substance attracts the electrons in the sea of electrons and the structure collapses without the force holding it together. Metals almost always form ionic compounds however on occasion they can participate in a form of covalent bonding. These compounds however, do not share any of the properties of metallic bonding. Furthermore, it is important to distinguish between a compound of a metal and an alloy.

Alloys
Metallic bonds can occur between different elements. A mixture of two or more metals is called an alloy. This is what differentiates alloys and compounds containing metals, as alloys are only mixtures. Depending on the size of the atoms being mixed, there are two different kinds of alloys that can form:

It is also worth note that substitutional/interstitial alloys can exist when there are more than 2 metals are involved in the formation of an alloy.

The resulting mixture will have a combination of the properties of both metals involved. Interstitial alloys tend to be (with exceptions) stronger than their component metals. This is because the particles of varying size tend to prevent the various layers in a metal from sliding over each other smoothly. An example of this would be the difference between bronze and its components copper and tin. Copper on its own is a softer metal unfit for use as a weapon, while bronze was widely used during the Bronze Age for swords and armour. Alloys can also have various other benefits such as corrosion resistance, torsional strength, and much more.

Your book used Wikipedia-like naming convention. Please read Naming policy and correct it.

Also, if you create a new book, remember to add it to a bookshelf and Template:New. --Derbeth talk 09:45, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

 * You are looking at Wikibooks as it is Wikipedia - but it's not. Books at Wikibooks should be real books, divided into chapters, not group of separate articles.
 * If long links are problem to you, you can use "pipe trick", f.e.  Jini and Network Computing:Eight fallacies of distributed computing  creates Eight fallacies of distributed computing. --Derbeth talk 19:50, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Shadz. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Shadz~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:40, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

User talk:Qweet

Welcome to Wikibooks
I'm sorry that your first experience on trying to write on Wikibooks happened with an almost immediate deletion of what you wrote. You should have had at least a warning first, and a lot more patience toward what you wrote.

Still, I would strongly recommend that you review What is Wikibooks for more information about our project here. Your Wikibook, The Ultimate Chance, does seem like a get rick quick scheme and something that we generally try to keep off of Wikibooks in general. Most business books in general seem to give us some sort of difficulty as the presentation of the idea is often difficult to seperate from a specific set of services.

I tend to be a champion of lost causes, but I want to encourage you to continue to contribute here on Wikibooks. We need people from as wide of a variety of backgrounds as we can, and I hope that you can find a place to help improve this project as a whole. There will be some criticisms of what you write here, and I promise that if you take the critcisms to heart as suggestions for improvement, you will become a much better writer and be able to present your idea in a much more clear fashion that will make your ideas stand on their own. You may also be able to find other people who are interested in the same things that you are interested in.

If there is anything I can do to help you out, please drop me a note on my user talk page: User talk:Robert Horning  That will get my attention faster than doing just about anything else. Dropping an e-mail my way through Special:Emailuser/Robert_Horning will also bring something to my attention, if you want to say something to me in private. I am one of the administrators here on Wikibooks, and have been here long enough that many of the participants will at least listen carefully to suggestions I make here. --Rob Horning 15:54, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Copyright problem with Image:Dev 2.JPG
--Derbeth talk 18:33, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, you have to insert copyright tag even if a file is 'just an image'. Insert GFDL-self or PD-self to all of your images and the problem will be solved. --Derbeth talk 11:20, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I've included now to all of my uploaded images the tag: PD-self. Thank you for calling my attention on this issue. I didn't even know, I had to inlcude such things. -- Qweet 09:40, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

The Ultimate Chance
I wanted to let you know that I've nominated The Ultimate Chance as a Vote for Deletion candidate. What this means is that I believe that there are problems with the content in this Wikibook which are against project policy due to the nature of this content. This should not be seen as something explicitly being against you as an individual, nor are we trying to say that your ideas that have been presented here are wrong.

Keep in mind that we are trying to create a collection of textbooks that can be used in academic settings. There are a number of policies that can be found here which have been developed over time to try and focus content here, and to keep this website from becoming a more general web content hosting service.

Please, if you want to defend keeping this content on Wikibooks, voice your opinions and state the reason why you think this content ought to remain on Wikibooks. Or perhaps use this as an opportunity to learn about how to turn this page into something that could be much more useful and easier to read. And to understand why we do what it is that we do here on this website.

If for some reason you come back to Wikibooks and find out that this book has been deleted before you had a chance to voice objections, you are also free to make a request on Votes for undeletion requesting that this content be restored. Decisions about removing content from Wikibooks has been reversed in the past, and for awhile content which is deleted can be restored... even though it may not be visible from the project by a general Wikibooks user.

Please, if you can, try to keep contributing your ideas to Wikibooks. We are glad that you are here, and are grateful for those contributions you have already made to this project. --Rob Horning 12:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Overcoming Procrastination

Forking Wikipedia
Comment from Kernigh: Overcoming Procrastination started out as a copy of Procrastination. Wikipedia was not credited, so it was an obvious violation of the GNU Free Documentation License. Also, as a fork of a Wikipedia article, it was against What is Wikibooks. Thus, I and other users voted to delete it.

However, Wikipedia decided to remove much of the content from its Procrastination article. Thus, I now recopy the last Wikipedia version before removal from Wikipedia. This means that I discarded the old version at Wikibooks instead of doing a merge. (There was not anything substantial to merge.) As Overcoming Procrastination is now an expansion of the Wikipedia article, the reason for its deletion is obsolete, so I removed the vfd tag.

In the coming days, I hope to split this book into subpages, add Authors and History pages (to replace the temporary History section at the top of the book now), provide a PDF version, and remove remnants of Wikipedia. --Kernigh 20:03, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Found this in the wikipedia article. Doesn't fit there, but it might fit there. Cheers.--P-Chan 17:20, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Realizing that brain is a complex system and its architecture is a factor contributing to difficulty associated with overcoming procrastination. Concepts like "it's because you are lazy, there's nothing more to it" indicate misunderstanding of the underlying issue, still they are common in population (and prevent success in dealing with procrastination).
 * Identifying procrastination as a systematic factor in one's life causing problems. Imagining life without procrastination and identifying possible positive benefits of overcoming procrastination. Decision to begin working systematically on overcoming procrastination to get into the advanced "level" of life.
 * Distinguishing clearly between "I know", "I want", and "I enjoy".
 * Stopping thinking in terms of "I must" and starting thinking in terms of "I want to". For example no one has to complete a university exam. The student has always a free choice whether to complete an exam or not. However if the exam is not completed, the student gets kicked out of the university. Because he wants to complete the university, he actually wants to complete the exam.
 * Identifying truly and realistically individual problems caused by procrastination.
 * Proposing a solution to these problems and identifying a "theoretically optimum" behaviour.
 * Establishing a TODO list mechanism (a software or a notepad) and considering the act of scratching over a completed entry a magic ritual indicating success in overcoming procrastination.
 * Writing things into TODO list as soon as they come into mind and then freeing mind from them.
 * Breaking down difficult complicated tasks in the TODO list into smaller, easier units.
 * Abstaining from perfectionism.
 * Defining two formal states of person: "behaving optimally" and "procrastinating". Mentally associating positive outcomes with the "behaving optimally" state and negative outcomes and problems with the "procrastinating" state. Then, in course of day, spotting the transition from the "behaving optimally" into "procrastinating" state and asking oneself, if he wishes to continue remaining in the "procrastinating" state despite all the problems associated with this state and all the pleasurable things associated with the "behaving optimally" state.
 * Systematically scheduling pleasurable activities in certain reasonable ratio into the activity stream. This makes sure that after completion of a boring activity, a pleasurable one will eventually come, and motivates the person to complete the boring activity.

The ironic part is...

 * Yeah... I was about to comment and say the same thing. Theanphibian 04:21, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm trying to read it, but I'm procrastinating too much (also hurray for Wikimedia, long may it's monopoly on monopoly-free knowledge reign)

Haskell/Standalone programs

Let's build a simple Haskell application, i.e. a piece of standalone software.

The Main module
The basic requirement behind this is to have a module Main with an entry point called main and of type.

We already know how to load this into GHCi, but here's how we compile it and then run it independently:

$ ghc --make -o bonjourWorld thingamie.hs $ ./bonjourWorld Bonjour, world!

Voilà! You now have a standalone application built in Haskell.

Other modules
Most programs grow to be complicated enough to split across different files. Here is a toy example of an application which uses two modules.

We can compile this fancy new program in the same way as before. The --make flag tells GHC to automatically detect dependencies in the files you are compiling. That is, since thingamie.hs imports a module, GHC will search the Haskell files in the current directory for files that implement   and also compile them. If Hello depends on other modules, GHC will automatically detect those dependencies as well.

$ ghc --make -o bonjourWorld thingamie.hs $ ./bonjourWorld Bonjour, world!

You may have noticed that the file with the  module, thingamie.hs, does not have a name matching the module name, which goes against what we said in the Modules chapter. That is not a problem because the point of having matching module and file names is allowing GHC to find the files automatically. Since that process always begins from, whose file we specify in the command line when calling GHC, the file of the   module need not follow the convention.

If you want to search in other places for source files (including a nested structure of files and directories), you can add the starting point for the dependency search with the -i flag. This flag takes multiple, colon-separated directory names as its argument.

As a contrived example, the following program has three files all stored in a src/ directory. The directory structure looks like:

HaskellProgram/ src/ Main.hs     GUI/ Interface.hs     Functions/ Mathematics.hs

The Main module imports its dependencies by searching a path analogous to the module name — so that  would search for GUI/Interface (with the appropriate file extension).

To compile this program from within the HaskellProgram directory, invoke GHC with:

$ ghc --make -isrc -o sillyprog Main.hs

If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Glenda. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Glenda~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
