Does anyone know how pre-clearance facilities at airports like Abu Dhabi are affected during US government shut downs? Still worth booking to go through those facilities in the next few days?
My grandparents bought a flight on United Airlines that departs on Feb 10 2019, as the one and same ticket, from Toronto, to ORD with 1 55-minute layover, then Maui. Please ping me if I ought post their return flight on Feb 24's details.   advises:     There should be no customs and immigrations formalities at ORD, as YYZ is a , and CBP matters will be handled in Toronto.    I'm assuming that  persists during their vacation to Maui.   reported some TSA agents' refusal to work.  Will  refuse to work, or any other federal workers pertinent to travelling to and from the US?

First off, this is NOT to be confused with the following question:    2 cycle oil is used for my weed eater. There is no way I could use a whole gallon in a year.  Sometimes I run out of gasoline for my 4 cycle lawn mower, and that 2 cycle mix fuel is sitting there getting really old.  If I run that in the lawn mower, am I simply going to create extra pollution or could the 2 cycle fuel cause any damage to the 4 cycle engine? How do I recover or "undelete" files that I accidentally deleted? I've accidentally deleted some really important files on my machine, and I'm looking to find out how to recover them.  Using the Trash bins "restore" isn't an option, as the files aren't there (mostly likely I wasn't paying attention and permanently deleted them from there).  Is there any way that I can un-delete these files? When I run  mkdir ../../bin/Release_Linux/Resources   Im getting an error  $ mkdir ../../bin/Release_Linux/Resources mkdir: cannot create directory ‘../../bin/Release_Linux/Resources’: No such file or directory   Or just   mkdir Release_Linux/Resources mkdir: cannot create directory ‘Release_Linux/Resources’: No such file or directory ModelBuilder not adding output feature class to Table of Contents? I'm trying to create a tool in ModelBuilder that will take a new point from a user, create a feature class for this point and display it on a map.  What I've done is:   I've created a feature class for a point-like feature in ArcCatalog. I've prepared a really simple model in ModelBuilder, that starts with a feature set variable (which takes the feature class as a schema and symbology file). The variable is marked as a parameter. Next I'm using the Copy Features tool that takes the variable as input and saves it as a feature class in my scratch workspace. The output feature class is marked as a parameter with the 'add to display' option.   After the module is run I get a shapefile in my scratch workspace. I can add it manually to TOC and it contains the selected point. However no matter what I do, I can't display it in TOC automatically after the model completes.  There is a known issue described in several places that doesn't allow to display newly created layers in TOC when model finishes with the 'add to display' option. However there's a quick workaround, which is to mark the output layer as parameter. In my case it doesn't work.  I'm using ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1 on Windows 7 x86_64.

I want to find a set of integer solutions of Diophantine equation: $ax + by = c$, and apparently $\gcd(a,b)|c$. Then by what formula can I use to find $x$ and $y$ ?   I tried to play around with it: $x = (c - by)/a$, hence $a|(c - by)$.     $a$, $c$ and $b$ are known. So to obtain integer solution for $a$, then $c - by = ak$, and I lost from here, because $y = (c - ak)/b$. I kept repeating this routine and could not find a way to get rid of it? Any hint?  Thanks, Chan Trying to dual boot Ubuntu 14.10 with Windows 10, last one not detected Understanding minipages - aligning at top I would like to be able to align two minipage at the top, without worrying about what is in the minipage.  I am aware of the optional [t] parameter, but still have some confusion as to how this all works.  I tend to think of a minipage as a regular page in that whatever is placed on it starts at the top and fills the page going across and then down the page, but this does not appear to be the case.  In the MWE example below, I have color coded the sections for reference purposes.   The first case (black) works just as I would expect. The two minipages are aligned exactly as I want with the [t] specifier.  No question here.  The next case (red) only works if the inner minipage also has the [t] specifier. Why is that necessary?  I would have thought that any content would be placed at the top of this page, and since both the outer minipage had a [t] things should have aligned at the top. I would like to place a graphic in the second mini page, and still have the two aligned at the top.   The simple case (blue) of using \includegraphics directly does not result in the content being aligned at the top.  So, then I attempt to put this in a \parbox (green) and this too does not yield the desired results.  I also try to place the graphic inside an inner minipage (brown) and specify the [t] alignment, and even though this worked in the red section, it does not here.  The only difference between the red and brown being that the red section had text, whereas the brown section has a graphic.  I am aware of question regarding  which suggests to place \vspace{0pt} at the top of the minipage, and that does provide the desired alignment (cyan), but adds vertical space at the top.  So, my second question is why is the \vspace{0pt} necessary when a graphic is included, but not when it is text.  This appears to be a hack and wondering if there is a replacement for minipage that works better without having to worry about exactly what is in the minipage?  Also, why did wrapping the figure in a parbox (green) or another minipage (brown) not solve this problem?

For example, someone who supports something politically incorrect (like, say, stronger gun control or help for male domestic abuse) might have their views dismissed as racist or sexist or liberal without actually acknowledging and debating against them, thus labeling the former as something they might not be.  I was talking to a friend earlier about politics, and she complained about Germany's immigration problem. She said one issue was that many politicians that try to support stronger immigration laws would immediately be shot down as racist or a nazi and forced to resign, instead of being presented with counter-arguments. Regardless of whether you agree with them or not, what would describe that?  EDIT: Forgot to specify -- the word or phrase I'm looking for would be used in an informal context. And to address further questions, to be used when the person's opinion has legitimate worth and isn't just "being racist" etc, i.e. the dismisser is incorrect, and is only making these accusations because they can't argue further.

We find the cluster centers and assign points to k different cluster bins in  which is a very well known algorithm and is found almost in every machine learning package on the net. But the missing and most important part in my opinion is the choice of a correct k. What is the best value for it? And, what is meant by best?  I use MATLAB for scientific computing where looking at silhouette plots is given as a way to decide on k . However, I would be more interested in Bayesian approaches. Any suggestions are appreciated.
