Is there a term used to refer to the following parts of these sentences (in bold):  Look out for the car travelling at high speed. Catch me coming in hot.  I'm not sure if these can be considered adjectival clauses or if there's a better terminology for it.
In a casual search of the web, I found a few indications English does not allow zero copulas ().  However, I frequently see sentences with subordinate clauses that juxtapose a noun phrase with an adverb phrase, such as the following from a contemporary sci-fi author:  Kai stares up at me from the grave, his eyes hard as obsidian.  If this clause were made into a sentence, it would take an obligatory verb:  *His eyes hard as obsidian.  His eyes are hard as obsidian.  The original clause seems to contain an implicit "to be."  Is it an example of a zero copula?  If not, what is this construction called?
How do I resize my partition in Ubuntu? I had Windows 8 installed on my system, which I screwed up, and now I run Ubuntu 12.04. While installing, Ubuntu used all the 461 GB of HDD space (one partition).   Now I want to make a new partition of maybe 100 GB or so, in order to install Windows 7 alongside Ubuntu (with a dual-boot). But I can't even get a partition done. I can't change the partition in GParted either - the option is disabled. ubuntu 18.04 LTS bluetooth [0cf3:3004] discovery not working Does moving leave the object in a usable state? How fast does gravity propagate? Best way to specify whitespace in a String.Split operation I'm trying CTest in CMake in order to automatically run some of my tests using make test target. The problem is CMake does not "understand" that the test I'm willing to run has to be built since it is part of the project.  So I'm looking for a way to explicitly specify this dependency.

Now I believe that I'm already feeling its effect. Some of my hormones are under the ideal levels and I have a deficiency in vitamin D.  What are the effects of sleeping during the day and not at night for work reasons or just habit? Is there any effect that can't be reversed simply by sleeping at night? (Assuming that you are sleeping enough time per day like 7-8 hours)  Could this sleep pattern be related to endocrine ills and other ills? Why do single-author community wiki answers (or questions?) link to revisions, rather than to the author's profile? Possible Duplicate:             Looking at  , I noticed something peculiar: Community Wiki posts* with only one author have not one, but two different links to the revisions page.    Is this entirely necessary? When clicking on the author's name in this case, I entirely would expect to be brought to the author's profile, rather than to the (potentially one-item-long) revisions list.   *(maybe only answers? couldn't find any good single-author CW question references) Making a 3D map with shapefiles, lidar and aerial image data I want to try to make a simple 3D map for a small area (10 square miles) with some housing, some roads and some vegetation on it. My geodata is as follows:    shapes with houses/roads/vegetation.  LIDAR point cloud data over the area (can easily be built to a dem). georeferenced aerial image.   Any idea where to start to bundle these geodata together and make a neat looking 3D map? Web-mapping with editing capabilities? How can a distribution have infinite mean and variance? This is about the upcoming  Zack Snyder movie , where Ben Affleck is playing Batman. I just read an  that Christian Bale wanted to be Batman again. So I wanted to ask why wasn't he cast as Batman in this movie. I checked the Wikipedia entry but nothing suggests why Christian Bale was not there. Nolan is associated with the movie as an adviser and DC Entertainment is producing this one too. So sort of familiar turf, right? But how come Ben Affleck is the new Batman?  EDIT: I would like to add another interesting piece of information. Bale is aged 40 (born 1974) and Affleck is 42 (born 1970). So they have actually cast an older actor. Why can't I change directories using "cd" in a script? I'm trying to write a small script to change the current directory to my project directory:  #!/bin/bash cd /home/tree/projects/java   I saved this file as proj, added execute permission with chmod, and copied it to /usr/bin. When I call it by: proj, it does nothing. What am I doing wrong? Compact space and Hausdorff space A continuous map from a compact space to a Hausdorff space is closed. Why this is true?  Help me please I want to learn why this is correct. I have a 2-D probability distribution along the lines of this plot:  I know how to find the confidence interval for a 1-D probability distribution (by the definition of standard deviation or the 68-95-99 rule) but I don't know how to generalize that to 2-D to get a confidence region. I've been looking at Principle Component Analysis and covariance matrices, but most explanations or examples are for a 2D distribution of random vectors rather than a probability distribution so I'm not quite sure how to generalize it. How would I find the 1-$\sigma$/2-$\sigma$ regions for a 2D probability distribution? Edit: The question that was linked in the duplicate message refers to random vectors, whereas what I have is a probability distribution from data, with a continuous 2-D probability function as opposed to random vectors. As such, I cannot find the covariance matrix between two vectors because I DO NOT HAVE TWO VECTORS, and therefore cannot apply the process described in the linked question. If I were to analogize to 1-D, my issue is the difference between the standard deviation for a random distribution of samples, $\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{N}\sum (x_{i}-\bar{x})^{2}}$, and the standard deviation for a probability distribution $\sigma=\sqrt{\sum (x_{i}-\bar{x})^{2}P(x_{i})}$. As far as I can tell, the method involving the covariance matrix is a generalization of the former. I need a generalization of the latter. If I'm wrong in my understanding, please let me know, but I don't think the other question gives me what I need. How to find the mime type of a file in python? Let's say you want to save a bunch of files somewhere, for instance in BLOBs. Let's say you want to dish these files out via a web page and have the client automatically open the correct application/viewer.  Assumption: The browser figures out which application/viewer to use by the mime-type (content-type?) header in the HTTP response.  Based on that assumption, in addition to the bytes of the file, you also want to save the MIME type.  How would you find the MIME type of a file? I'm currently on a Mac, but this should also work on Windows.   Does the browser add this information when posting the file to the web page?  Is there a neat python library for finding this information? A WebService or (even better) a downloadable database? In Java, are enum types inside a class static?
