Here's the situation: I want to bring my girlfriend over here to Portugal for the holidays. She's Venezuelan but is in Trinidad and Tobago right now. My plan is to save money by buying 2 different plane tickets, one from Trinidad to Miami, and another one from Miami to Portugal. My question is, does she need a visa to stay in the US for 3 hours to catch another flight?
In Europe usually you don't need to go through immigration to change planes (unless you are entering/exiting Schengen). Is it the case in the US as well? May I catch a connecting flight on one of the US airports if I don't have US visa?
Size commands do not work in mathmode MWE:  \documentclass{article} \begin{document} $\wedge{\small\wedge}{\tiny\wedge}$ \end{document}   All the \wedges have the same size... How do I calculate my skill modifier? I'm trying to fill out the skills section on my first character, but when I look at the character sheets in the Starter Set as examples of how to make a character, the skills that are circled have higher modifiers than their Dexterity or Strength or whatever should make them.  I've filled out all skills but those. What do I add to the ability modifier to get those numbers?   My abilities are Strength 13, Dexterity 14, Constitution 11, Intelligence 15, Wisdom 8, and Charisma 8. Proficiencies are Arcana, Athletics, History, Investigation and Stealth. My saving throws are Strength and Dexterity.   I just started D&amp;D and have the Player's Handbook, DM's Guide, Monster Manual, and the Starter Set. What does DISPLAY=:0.0 actually mean? Detecting if resistances are parallel or series in complex circuits I know how to detect when resistors are arranged in parallel or series arrangement and I can also find their equivalent resistance in simple circuits or when resistances are connected in form of triangle but what happens when the arrangement is complex like this :   Which resistors are parallel and which are in series ? How can I find the equivalent resistance in such cases ? Is there rule or method for figuring this out ? In Windows 7, How to query times, when the computer was locked? Is there a way to get a list of the following times:  whenever windows is locked (using windows+l combo)  whenever windows is unlocked in the past week?   I've tried poking in the event log, to no avail. Many thanks! I am using ubercart guest checkout module. I am able to submit  the order as guest etc works fine.   After Reviewing the order and submitting it throws me this error   Recoverable fatal error: Argument 2 passed to db_query() must be an array, string given, called in /var/www/html/dev.demo.net/sites/all/modules/ubercart_guest_checkout/uc_guest_checkout.module on line 263 and defined in db_query() (line 2342 of /var/www/html/dev.demo.net/includes/database/database.inc).   This is the query which is causing that issue    db_query('UPDATE {users} SET name = "%s", mail = "%s" WHERE uid = %d', $name, $mail, $account-&gt;uid);   I tried to change this query like this  db_update('users') -&gt;fields(array(     'name' =&gt; $name,     'mail' =&gt; $mail )) -&gt;condition('uid',$account-&gt;uid,'=')        -&gt;execute();   still no luck, it throws me same above specified error.    How can i resolve the query of above one in order to avoid the error. Any suggestions w.r.t query will be nice.Thanks in advance. Shorter proof for some equvalences Let $(G,\cdot)$ be a group show that  A) $G$ is abelian  B) For all $x,y\in G: (xy)^{-1}=x^{-1}y^{-1}$  C) For all $x,y\in G: (xy)^{2}=x^{2}y^{2}$  D) There existst an $n\in \mathbb{Z}$ such that for all $x,y\in G$  $\displaystyle (xy)^{n-1}=x^{n-1}y^{n-1}$ and $\displaystyle (xy)^{n}=x^{n}y^{n}$ and $\displaystyle (xy)^{n+1}=x^{n+1}y^{n+1}$  are equivalent.    I showed $A\iff B,A\iff C$ and $A\iff D$. That was not really hard, except maybe $D\Rightarrow A$. I would like to do a circular argument, but i have no idea how.  Any hints?  Thanks in advance! Empty drives show 2 GB used, Explorer shows nothing I have 4 drives in Windows: C:, D:, E: and F:. Except C:, all of them are empty.    Suddenly it shows up to 2 GB space used – even when there are no files.     [  When I format the drives, it's fine for a while until it shows used space again.  I use Windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit. I used the jQuery Form plugin for asynchronous form submission. For forms that contain files, it copies the form to a hidden iframe, submits it, and copies back the iframe's contents. The problem is that I can't figure out how to find what HTTP status code was returned by the server. For example, if the server returns 404, the data from the iframe will be copied as normal and treated as a regular response.  I've tried poking around in the iframe objects looking for some sort of status_code attribute, but haven't been able to find anything like that.    The $.ajax() function can't be used, because it does not support uploading files. The only way to asynchronously upload files that I know of is using the hidden iframe method. I am getting this message every time I do something like starting or stopping a service.  perl: warning: Setting locale failed.    perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:            LANGUAGE = "en_US:en",            LC_ALL = (unset),            LC_MESSAGES = "en_US.UTF-8",            LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"        are supported and installed on your system.    perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").    locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory    locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory    locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory    (Reading database ... 21173 files and directories currently installed.)

Please stop bounties from turning off community moderation Possible Duplicate:                tl;dr: Please get rid of "This question has an open bounty and cannot be closed"  Questions with bounties on them can't be closed:    This is by design, and the recommended course of action is to flag for moderator attention, at which point they'll decide whether to refund the bounty and close the question or not.   But why should a bounty disable regular community moderation?  We should be able to cast close votes on bountied questions as usual, and if a question gets enough, the bounty's refunded and the question closed.  An obvious benefit would be reduced burden on moderators, but I doubt that this is really a significant part of their workload.  More important is allowing the entire community's wisdom to be brought to bear.  Consider this question:      Having a simple MFC application with web browser controller that navigates to some site and then to another one on and on.      Using a powerfull machine (16 cores and lots of memory) OS is Server 2008 R2. I can see when launching my app over 30 instances I'm getting the OS UI (each window including my app, mspaint, taskmgr etc..) become very sluggish and slow.      I have monitored the machine resources (CPU, memory and GDI objects) but it seems that all of them are not even close to be in some level of stress.      What is the problematic resource that influence the machine in such way?      10x, Guy   It doesn't look like a good question: somewhat poorly written, vague, not a ton of information, etc.  I would vote to close this question.  However, I don't do much work with MFC and maybe there's something I'm missing.  (I can readily imagine a similarly bad looking question with the extremely concrete answer: .)  I'm comfortable casting a vote to close, not closing unilaterally.  Flagging for a moderator just passes the buck to them, when the correct action is letting the community weigh in. Functions of Independent Random Variables Is the claim that functions of independent random variables are themselves independent, true?   I have seen that result often used implicitly in some proofs, for example in the proof of independence between the sample mean and the sample variance of a normal distribution, but I have not been able to find justification for it. It seems that some authors take it as given but I am not certain that this is always the case. Check if all elements in a list are identical A significant amount of zombies were detected in your city Can anyone please help and tell me if this sentence is correct?  &quot;A significant amount of zombies were detected in your city.&quot;  In my opinion it should be &quot;A significant amount of zombies was detected in your city.&quot; because &quot;amount&quot; should be in agreement with &quot;was&quot; even though amount usually refers to something plural. Are both (was and were) acceptable in this case? Edit1: Yes, &quot;number&quot; would be the correct one in this case. So allow me to ask one more thing.  &quot;A significant amount of purchases were detected...&quot;  Does the use of &quot;number&quot; apply in this case also? As purchase is not exactly a thing/person. And if no, is it correct to say &quot;A significant amount of purchases were detected...&quot;? Edit2: So, please tell me what is the correct phrasing?  &quot;A significant amount of purchases were detected...&quot; &quot;A significant amount of purchases was detected...&quot;  Or, since purchases are countable, is the use of &quot;number&quot; instead of &quot;amount&quot; correct here, as in:  &quot;A significant number of purchases were detected...&quot; &quot;A significant number of purchases was detected...&quot;  Or would amount be correct since a purchase involves money and it refers to the amount of money? Would greatly appreciate an answer, and if possible a detailed explanation.

Compute the moment generating function of $Y = X_1X_2 + X_1X_3 + X_2X_3$ Lookup list dependant on the contents of another cell hope someone can help to crack this one?  I've got a table on my data entry tab (sheet 1) where each row includes two data validation drop down lists (source is on sheet2). I want the options in the second drop down list (k13) to be dependant on what is selected in the first drop down list (g13)...  ie. if you select 'Diary' in the first drop down box then the second drop down only has 'Cheese', 'Milk' and 'Yogurt' - likewise, if you select 'Fruit' in the first box - I want the only options to be available specific to that categories column in the lookup table on sheet 2 (which are 'apple', 'pear' and 'banana' in this case)?  Please help - i think this is a vlookup indirect formula??
