Ideal Orchestra Layout

It rtnemlaee itnatirre

It often happens that people hear something that catches your eye and repeats it constantly. And repeats it without stopping to think if it's actually an old news cierto.Hablo (I've seen for more than a year, but today the day I've met twice), when I saw her, I was much attention. And basically says something.

Cietra unversdiad ineglsa dsecubrio that if the escrbiir the palaabrs, the pirmera and last article in its lgaur lert etsán not Improta the dmeas oerdn of one peude read "calramnete" ... Some

descurió English university if writing the words, the first and last letters are in place no matter the order of the other, one can read "clearly" the words without much effort, because the brain processes by "words" instead of letter by letter.

I've never heard to say which is the university, or anyone who tells me has actually read that article. However, with a demonstration similar to the above, everyone is convinced.

Will? Well ... NO!
This statement is incorrect and has its trap. It is clear that none of the people I mention this fact does in bad faith, and that comes with "eivdnceia." So they are not aware of the small trap that they themselves have played.

The claim is this:
enough that the first and last letters are in position, regardless of the order of the other, that we recognize "in segiuda" the palarba.
Well, if I want to prove that the afrimacóin is false, dbereía eejmpols to stop that works.

And without further ado .... return to the title. It's not as easy to read! Although the first and last letters are in place. The small catch is that in all examples that have sample letters dseordneadas, were not really so disordered.

The statement is true only if the degree disorder of the word is small. One may wonder how one can measure how messy is the word, and the answer comes in the basic course in group theory, since a messy word is, after all, a permutation of its letters. And every permutation can be expressed as a product of transpositions, and you can assign a minimum number of investments, etc ...
(if anyone is interested, send me an email asking for more details.)

So the disorder of the letters "middle" does matter. course gave many examples that do work, and so far I've only taken one that may well be the exception . So here are some examples:

  • Cmoo "eacilpxr a mdnuo ddnoe mrgalio a tneie tdoo enoicacilpxn?
  • Doreitucsin ptnemasorgilee puqroe Aromy sainetsoa that love the sea and not for a "RMIA uazilitr paidon
  • atnalede vomas So, that ramen crtnoa Betos the ctneirroe, itnemetnasecne asodartsarrs HICA the pdasao
  • The doreidicen aonmuls caibmar the FHCE of eugertna
  • Asetige aetns of usrase
  • The dtrepseó ptneicae htneirbmao
  • The lerbie eidepolcicna
  • Nsetoe in each Leni, the rlgea is clpmue

Yes, in each instance the rule is met, the first and last letters are in position, while all others are scrambled. But in my examples, disorders are not small (one or two letters wrong), but I have maximized the number of investments (ie, the greatest possible disorder) with the letters of the way, but the result and can not be read as easily as if written correctly, the statement said.

course all the examples were built with a method (which is not difficult to decipher), and knowing the method can read the examples with relative ease, but the important thing is that it can be read almost as quickly if they were successful.

must also note that in English (original language of the study), most words are of one or two syllables, while in English, frequently appearing words of 2, 3 or 4 syllables. Of course, if there are fewer lyrics, less clutter as possible (although There are counterexamples to the statement in English, but that's another story.)

Thus the correct statement is:

If a word, the first and last letters are left in place, and the other letters are changed slightly its position, it is possible to understand the word without much effort .

That's not so impressive right? It sounds a little silly make such a fuss about something that is somewhat obvious. :)

As a postscript (with a small nod to hein? ) did you know that the word gullible is not in the dictionary?:

on translations of articles featured

A Wikipedian takes work (which is not simple) to write a great article, referenced, comprehensive, excellent. A Wikipedian brings work under a license free for all to take advantage . A Wikipedian WIKIPEDIA improving (yes, wikipedia, the multilingual project) to the effort. The only catch: no talking español.Un great article itself, under a free license to modify and reuse it, yes, that would help many wikis. Therefore, and be free content, we translate and incorporate wikipedia improving much, because not only is a good copy in a language, but many copies in many languages \u200b\u200b. A featured article.

is translated, he joined the English version. The English Wikipedia has an article now more excellent. In the English wikipedia, there is a process which identifies the excellent articles, calling them "outstanding ." There is an excellent new article (translated itself, but an excellent article in the end.) It is proposed to identify it as "featured article " because it is an article well written, referenced, extensive. And the Voice

crying

"we should not recognize such an excellent article excellent article because it was originally written in English! should not be done because to follow the philosophy of free content, and reuse good material available to improve Wikipedia in English, we are improving English Wikipedia! Therefore, we discourage the recognition of items from translations. "

Voice

And then turned over to vote against all the great articles from translations, although they are excellent articles, by the simple fact it was not originally written in English. To justify its position, the voice sabotages wikipedia. The voice is hiding behind regulations, laws, policies, giving more emphasis to the letter of the law to its spirit. At that time, Reason, who was found passing through the place, knowing the situation, and looking to the editors were confused by the shrewd use of standards by the Voice to sabotage the project's goal, he reminded them of the 5 main rules, against which no other policy can work against:

If a rule prevents you from improving wikipedia ignores the rule!

Bibliogenealogía

One of the issues recurrentes de los conspiranoicos es que sólo se puede ser bibliotecario cuando se cuenta con el apoyo de "los poderes que son", que nadie puede ser biblio si no jura lealtad a la camarilla secreta, etc etc. Es un hecho, sin embargo, que la mayoría de las candidaturas exitosas son "apadrinadas" por un biblio existente (aunque hay quienes han tenido éxito autpostulándose y quienes han tenido padrinos que no son biblios).

En un momento de ocio, y viendo el ejemplo de Gmaxwell, decidí hacer una visualización de la red de confianzas, es decir, quién apadrinó a quién. Los registros del 2003 y anteriores son prácticamente inexistentes, aunque en esa época, era muy fácil convertirse en biblio. Tengo be thankful to Pybalo especialmete , who helped me and given me suggestions on how to carry out this task.

How Much Do You Tip For Waxing

to Caesar what is Caesar's, and Benedict ... Ignore the rules

And Jesus said:

Master, we know you are sincere and that no Restless for which you will hear, but truly teach the way of God. Tell us, is against the law to pay taxes to Caesar? Do we have to pay it?

But Jesus saw their hypocrisy and said

Why trying to trap me? Bring me a coin, I see it. Euro vaticano

Euro and showed him he asked them

Whose image is this and what is written?

They replied:

Caesar.

Then Jesus said to them

Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's.

Jesus made it very surprised.

How To Tighten Boardshorts



Small test-dialog I wrote a few weeks ago about the meaning of "ignore the rules." Dialogo, por Galileo (PD)

Salviati: In the original version, is used to "deter". Deter is a purpose to withdraw''.'' Then the original wording is understood as ''... if the rules make you give up part of wikipedia, ignores the rules. "

certainly this is not the sense of principle. It would be like telling the spameros for example. "There is a rule spam, but we care more that you participate in wikipedia, therefore ignore it." The principle of ignoring the rule only applies when it comes to''improve''
encyclopedia Sagredo: I understand, the important thing is that people ignore the rules if you do not like, but avoid the rules Encyclopedia impeding better
Simplicio: But perhaps the spamero not think that is improving the encyclopedia to add links to your pages?
Salviati: The spamero not improving the encyclopedia, is seeking personal gain by promoting your site. But this rule is not about a particular case is one of the more general rules of Wikipedia.
Simplicio: Moment ... But then this rule is that anyone can do whatever you want!
Salviati: No, the rules exist for a reason, have been established by users with arguments, and should not be violated if there is no important reason.
Sagredo: I think the point is that Simplicio, anyone can argue with this rule together with the assumption of''good will''that could violate any regulations.
Salviati: Yes, but precisely this is one of the 5 most important rules, one of the pillars, is not to be used lightly. Let me clarify a bit. Suppose a user is fighting a vandal, but it needs to perform an action X to stop it. A regulation prevents the execution of X in the first instance. Then the user to protect the encyclopedia can perform the action and invoke the principle of "Ignore Rule" ...
Simplicio: That what I'm saying, anyone can ignore the rules and justified!
Salviati: ... yes, but the user, when asked, will have to make their arguments. "Ignore the rules" just protects you from punishment''by ignore a process,''when the action itself can be justified.
Sagredo: understand. Not enough to say " ignored the rule that I can ignore the rule " but " ignored the rule, because it happened so and so and so ignored process, ie, later justified his action.
Salviati: course, and remember that there is irreversible.
Simplicio: Hoygan! But you can not change the wording of the policy so that together. Although your arguments are convincing, you need to submit them for approval, do 3 surveys, 2 proposals, 4 votes, and if everything is able to change the wording.
Sagredo: Oh, but ... if a process keeps you from improving the encyclopedia, ignores the way!
