I did my English homework and I searched this sentence. They said that it's "Elvis has died age 79"   Can I use "Elvis died at the age of 79" instead? Is it still correct? Can you explain? (I hope my grammar isn't wrong.)
Most instructions for equipment and software make a habit of shortening sentences by dropping words of certain parts of speech - usually definite and indefinite articles.  For example:     PULL (THE) LEVER TO OPERATE      CARS MAY BE TOWED WHEN (THEY ARE) PARKED ILLEGALLY      PLEASE USE (THE) OTHER DOOR   Is there a name for this custom? And what is the best way to describe it?

Are they related to the mounting of snaps? Can I reduce the boot time by disabling them? I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 alongside Windows 10. Sci-Fi Movie/Show Where a Soul is Captured in a Glass Vessel I remember very little of this, I was quite young -  It was on television in the mid 90's, but seemed older. My wife was telling me about the 21 grams experiment and the memory clicked into place. Setting Inside of a mad scientist sort of lab, with the plasma balls and everything else, a character (Who in my mind resembles Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein) is conducting an experiment. The room is hazy, lots of hues of purple and red. He has an assistant present. They were conducting some sort of experiment to try to figure out the secrets of immortality (or possibly reanimation). I remember them &quot;trapping&quot; a human soul in a glass vessel to see what it weighed or what kind of volume it took up - I believe they shot someone in this vessel, and because their soul could not &quot;escape&quot;, they did not die. Where are the default settings saved for the Command prompt defaults? Debugging a custom-bib bst file that crashes on book items I created my own bibliography file with custom-bib (makebst), but when I run it with a reference to a book I get:  $ bibtex PhD [...normal output] Database file #1: PhD.bib You can't pop an empty literal stack for entry oecd2001brc while executing---line 1504 of file wdsphd.bst   The only thing on that line is a high-level ITERATE call.

What I have now doesn 't really tell me what is going on. If it can be fixed simply, help would also be appreciated. URL line breaks with biblatex How do I allow long URLs to have line breaks at any point. This is in the bibliography not the main text. I am trying to save space so don't want extra spaces to be added to make it only break at slashes, for example, as it does by default.  I am using biblatex+biber. Why is my camera limited to a shutter speed of 1/250th when the flash is up? Sometimes in bright backlight and with large aperture (f2.8) I want flash at high shutter speeds.  But when I pop the flash up on D7000 it caps the shutter speed to 1/250th, which overexposes the shots and makes everything look like a nuclear bomb just went off.  What's the logic behind the limiting of the shutter speed when using flash? Is there anything I can do to get flash  + faster shutter speeds? Cycles Emit Light from area on Texture So I have a giant object that is completely uv unwrapped. I would like to make areas of the object with a specific area of texture emit light.   The problem is that this object (and it is only one object) only has one material. I would like the lava to emit light, but I cannot move it to a separate material without breaking something.  I'd like to find a method where I can select a part of the texture and tell blender that whatever has that part of the texture emits light.  Is this possible?  Thanks. deploying and retrieving Address settings (State & Country picklists) VMware won't work after Ubuntu Upgrade I upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10 and now if I want to open VMware Player it doesn't do anything. I also uninstalled and installed it again, still nothing.  What can I do? How do I remap multi-key sequences to individual keys? I just bought an IBM Model M keyboard. While awesome, it lacks a windows key and multimedia keys. While there are many programs out there that can map one key to another, or one key to a key sequence, are there any programs that will map a keyboard sequence to a single key?  Edit: OS = Win7 I am using lightning:recordEditForm and lightning:inputField for creating a new record. this component is being used inside a lightning community builder. When i click the submit button, i am able to create a new record in my custom object. However i need the created record ID as i need to pass it in the URL for the next page. $a+b+c = 3$, prove that :$a\sqrt{a+3}+b\sqrt{b+3}+c\sqrt{c+3} \geq 6$ $a, b,c $ are positive real numbers such that $a+b+c = 3$, prove that :$a\sqrt{a+3}+b\sqrt{b+3}+c\sqrt{c+3} \geq 6$  Any ideas ? Recent file in Macbook Air I am not a very techie girl. I used my brother's macbook air and saw some of his personal things which I should haven't. And I realised that he could see that in recents. How to delete them? After surfing a lot, I got to know about the recent files stored in plist in preferences, by the name com.apple.recentfiles.plist or LSSharedfiles.plist but I couldn't find a file/plist named above. Kindly help! As mentioned above it is macbook air and again I do not know much :( Sharing Jupyter notebooks within a team I would like to set up a server which could support a data science team in the following way: be a central point for storing, versioning, sharing and possible also executing Jupyter notebooks.  Some desired properties:   Different users can access the server and open and execute notebooks that were stored by them or by other team members. The interesting question here is what would be the behavior if user X executes cells in a notebook authored by user Y. I guess the notebook should NOT be changed: Solution should be self-hosted. Notebooks should be stored either on the server or on Google drive or on self-hosted instance of owncloud. (Bonus) Notebooks will be under git versioning control (git may be self-hosted. Cannot be bounded to GitHub or something of that sort).   I looked into  and . With the former, I didn't understand how to allow cross users access. The latter seems to only support GitHub as the storage of the notebooks.  Do you have experience with either of the solutions? Why do some bad traits evolve, and good ones don't? If a trait would be advantageous to an organism then why hasn't it evolved yet?  Conversely, if a trait is not advantageous or mildly disadvantageous, why does it exist?  In other words why does evolution not make the organism more "perfect"?    This is a general question that would be applicable for any kind of trait. Please keep the answers precise and scientific.   Read this meta post for more information: Calculating size of particular area below buffer in QGIS? I have a point shapefile of villages where data was collected in Northern Kenya. I created a buffer around those villages.   The second vector layer contains polygons defining areas according to vegetation type. So for example, a forest might be surrounded by a narrow ring of woodland in an area which is mainly grassland. I'm trying to obtain a percentage of each vegetation type within the buffer per village.   I'm using QGIS 1.7 Maximal ideals in the ring of real functions on $[0,1]$ Let $S$ be the ring of all continuous functions from $[0,1]$ to $\mathbb R$. How to prove that all maximal ideals of $S$ have the form $M_{x_0}=\{f\in S \mid f(x_0)=0\}$?   Thanks in advance. Is it possible to install multiple instances of the same delphi service application? Force drop db while others may be connected Can open sets and closed sets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ be homeomorphic?
