Genitive case or attributive noun Is there any rule for when it is better to use genitive case or noun as adjective? I'm not sure if there is any difference in meaning in this example:     The department of accounting       The accounting department   Can I also use both forms in situations like:     The restaurants of Paris / The Paris restaurants      The room window / The window of the room Unwanted comma between author and year using citet command I've been using the biblatex package for a while, and since updating my TeX installation (post-el capitan upgrade) I have been experiencing the following.   If the following is typed:  Such and such has been said \citep[111]{citekey}.   The following text is displayed:  Such and such has been said (Author, 2016, p. 111).   And if the following is typed:  \citet[111]{citekey} has said such and such.   The following text is displayed:  Author, (2016, p. 111) has said such and such.   The citep command is working as I want it to, but I do not want a comma placed after the author's name when using the citet command. I would like it to display as follows:  Author (2016, p. 111) has said such and such.    If I use the \citeyearpar command, it is fine, but I would rather not have to type the author's name in manually.   Here is the command placed in the preamble:  \usepackage[backend=bibtex, style=authoryear-icomp, url=true, isbn=false, natbib=true, sortcites=true, block=space, pagetracker=false, loccittracker=constrict]{biblatex}   Here is an example of an entry in my bib file (made using BibDesk):  @article{poldrack2006, Author = {Poldrack, Russell}, Journal = {Trends in Cognitive Sciences}, Number = {2}, Pages = {59--63}, Title = {{Can cognitive processes be inferred from neuroimaging data?}}, Volume = {10}, Year = {2006}}   I have also tried changing the entry to the following:  @article{poldrack2006, Author = {Russell Poldrack}, Journal = {Trends in Cognitive Sciences}, Number = {2}, Pages = {59--63}, Title = {{Can cognitive processes be inferred from neuroimaging data?}}, Volume = {10}, Year = {2006}}   The bibliography entry appears as follows, and is fine:  Poldrack, Russell (2006). “Can cognitive processes be inferred from neuroimaging data?” In: Trends in Cognitive Sciences 10.2, pp. 59–63.  Thank you for any help that can be offered. Word for obscuring bad or immoral acts with verbiage I have been in many scenarios where people try to obscure/reduce the intensity of a seemingly bad or immoral act using grammar. E.g. Assuming Thomas killed a dog, you could hear something like:     There's essentially nothing wrong about palliating the miserable life   of a despondent being. If there was any issue here, I'd say it's not   consulting a veterinary doctor first but I've come to understand that some people are just straightforward.   How does one react to the above mumbo jumbo? I think there are similar situations also found in law courts. What can this be referred to as? Grammatification, obscure tactics? How can I find out the variable name in python? I know how I can find out the python command by clicking a button in the Blender interface, and then look in the info window:   For example, as can be seen, I added a cube, UV sphere, plane, camera, lamp, pressed A twice.  But how can I find out an object variable name, for example the y-rotation of an object. Because I can't find the y-rotation, when I point my mouse over it, I can only find the rotation: My book says:     For most of the small objects, both are same. But for mammoth ones, they are really different ones. And in a gravity-less environment, COG is absent; COM still exists.   Ok, what's the big deal when things are small and big? How these two :  &amp; ? Should import statements always be at the top of a module? Default Class Accessibility in C# by default is a class:   private ? internal ?  sealed ? Nowhere monotonic continuous function Does there exist a nowhere monotonic continuous function from some open subset of $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$? Some nowhere differentiable function sort of object? What is the use of the Dot Product of two vectors? How to start a background process in Python? I'd like to run a game of , but I'm not sure how many dice I roll when the characters face various challenges. I'm under the impression that it's supposed to be the same number of dice the character uses, but that seems to make impossible tasks far too easy to perform. Is there a general rule saying how many dice the GM rolls against a character's attempt at a given task?  Should the GM's dice equal the character's dice, or should the GM's dice vary depending on the task's difficulty? Windows 10 Search not loading, showing blank window Matrix Multiplication in context of row and column vectors apt-get update only for a specific repository When I add a PPA and I want to install some of its content, it is quite annoying to re-update all my apt list using apt-get update.  Is it instead possible to only sync the content of a given repository? Find $n$ such that $x^2 + x + 1$ is a factor of $(x+1)^n - x^n - 1$. I have to find the form of n i.e. whether n is even or odd and whether it is multiple of 2 or 3 such that:  $x^2 + x + 1$ is a factor of $(x+1)^n - x^n - 1$  What I tried:  $$x^2 + x + 1 = (x + 1)^2 - x $$  also,  $$(x+1)^n-x^n-1= \binom{n}{o}x^n + \binom{n}{1}x^{n-1} + ... + \binom{n}{n-1}x + \binom{n}{n}.1 - x^n - 1$$  $$=\binom{n}{1}x^{n-1} + ... + \binom{n}{n-1}x$$  after getting this far I tried with taking x and n common but still couldn't able to find the right direction.  I need extra hints to solve this. Whenever I boot Ubuntu, I get a message that it cannot mount my windows partition, and I can choose to either wait, skip or manually mount.  When I try to enter my Windows partition through Nautilus I get a message saying that this partition is hibernated and that I need to enter the file system and properly close it, something I have done with no problem so I don't know why this happens.    Here's my partition table, if any more data is needed please let me know.

This implies that $a$ divides $c$. But apparently this is wrong. Help explain why this way is wrong please.   The question tells you give me two relatively prime numbers $a$ and $b$ such that $a$ divides the product $bc$, prove that $a$ divides $c$. how is this not obvious? Explain to me how my "proof" is not correct. Does Microsoft Office 2010 have version control?  In other words, does it automatically save old versions of files?
