Glucose lowering agents consist of multiple subcategories of drugs, including metformin, DPP-4 inhibitors, and insulin and analogues.   My question is how should I write a list with an "and" in one of the items? in this example: is "and 'insulin and analogues'" right?
For example,      I like chocolate, vanilla, and lemon and orange ice cream.    Indicating "lemon and orange" is a combined flavor, as an item in the list needing an initial and.
I am creating an animated sprite list in Adobe Illustrator. I finished creating the sprites and used the Horizontal/Vertical Distribute Center commands to distribute the objects equally in some area.  But, if the objects are spread too far apart, the Distribute Center tool leaves, albeit equal, much distance between the objects. The opposite is true: if the objects are too close then distributing them will just overlap them.  My question is, is there any tool that just puts objects side by side?  I imagine that this tool would work if the objects aren't even equal in size.   I have viewed  and answer but it is not what I need. Validate decimal numbers in JavaScript - IsNumeric() Where does the extra kinetic energy of the rocket come from? Consider a rocket in deep space with no external forces. Using the formula for linear kinetic energy $$\text{KE} = mv^2/2$$ we find that adding $100\ \text{m/s}$ while initially travelling at $1000\ \text{m/s}$ will add a great deal more energy to the ship than adding $100 \ \text{m/s}$ while initially at rest: $$(1100^2 - 1000^2) \frac{m}{2} \gg (100^2) \frac{m}{2}.$$ In both cases, the $\Delta v$ is the same, and is dependent on the mass of fuel used, hence the same mass and number of molecules is used in the combustion process to obtain this $\Delta v$. So I'd wager the same quantity of chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy, yet I'm left with this seemingly unexplained $200,000\ \text{J/kg}$ more energy, and I'm clueless as to where it could have come from. Let $L$ be a finitely generated free module over a commutative ring $A$. Set $n=\operatorname{rank} L$. Let $x_1,\dots,x_m$ be generators of $L$. Then $m \ge n$? If $m = n$, then is $x_1,\dots,x_m$ a basis of $L$? Get rows with most recent date for each different item EntityFieldQuery order by title I refer to the usage of "don't" as an imperative to tell someone what not to do. As in,     Hey! Don't you dare touch that button!   When it is used in the interrogative or as part of a statement, "don't" can be expanded like most other contractions. It either just breaks up right in the sentence, or surrounds the subject.     Don't you love me, Juanromeo? -> Do you not love me, Juanromeo?      I don't love you, Marijuliet. -> I do not love you, Marijuliet.   However, I have no idea how one breaks up the imperative. "Do you not dare[...]" sounds like it's a lead up to a question, "You do not dare[...]" comes across as a statement moreso than a command, and "Do not you dare[...]" just sounds silly.  "Don't" is a bit unique among "not" contractions (at least that I know of) because it is the only one that can be used in an imperative sense. Couldn't, shouldn't, wouldn't, haven't, isn't, doesn't, aren't, can't... none of these can be used in an imperative sense because you cannot command someone to could, should, etc.  Is it possible to expand the don't contraction when it is used as part of a command? Or is its unique case such that it exists as its own linguistic construct? How to get the CPU cycle count in x86_64 from C++? I'm working on a project using logistic regression to predict student retention. The data were collected through three self-report instruments. We are trying to find out which predictors are powerful enough to predict the at-risk students. I came across some articles saying a balanced sample (50% stay, 50% dropouts) is desirable for such study, e.g. Glynn, J.G., Sauer, P.L., &amp; Miller, T.E. (2003). , NASPA Journal, 41 (1), 41-67:     A problem however, is that the distribution of the dependent variable is likely to be highly skewed toward persistence. For example, if 85% of the analysis sample were persistors, a classification model that classified every student as a persistor would have a success rate of 85%, or would classify 85% of student correctly. To resolve this issue, the maintenance of relative balance between the number of dropouts and the number of persistors (about 50% each) in the analysis sample was desirable.   Is this true? Our sample only has about 25%-30% dropout students. Will this affect the results? Migrate database from Postgres to MySQL Interpretation of Shapiro-Wilk test I'm pretty new to statistics and I need your help. I have a small sample, as follows:    H4U   0.269   0.357   0.2   0.221   0.275   0.277   0.253   0.127   0.246   I ran the Shapiro-Wilk test using R:    shapiro.test(precisionH4U$H4U)   and I got the following result:   W = 0.9502, p-value = 0.6921   Now, if I assume the significance level at 0.05 than the p-value is larger then alpha (0.6921 > 0.05) and I cannot reject the null hypothesis about the normal distribution, but does it allow me to say that the sample has a normal distribution?

At the end my OS X frozen and I had to do hard reset, repair my SDD in recovery mode and fixing afterwards (recovering lost work, fixing application conflicts, checking my lost+found folder, Chrome/Terminal tabs gone, headache, etc.).

The attached animated gif shows some frames of a video with a mesh box placed at each tracking marker used to successfully track (solution error &lt;.4) an 800 frame chunk of video.   The point is to illustrate just how poorly the camera tracker calculated: when the box is at a marker placed at the top of a faraway building on the left, it is actually visually much larger than when it is at the tracking marker closest to where the real camera was. I went to great lengths to be sure that the camera's sensor size and focal length are correct, and manually placed and followed all markers to be sure they were accurately tracking.   There is not a lot of parallax motion over the 800 frames, but there should have been enough to at least know that the point closest to the camera moved more than the point furthest away. Sometimes it seems to work, sometimes it doesn't. Does anybody know how to improve this? How do I uninstall Windows 8 and install Windows 7?

So, I just finished off the first part of an important task for school and today when I was going to continue, the document with my notes were gone. The only fragment I've got left of my file is the back up file, which doesn't show in the folder where I saved the document, but I can search for it.  Is there anyway which allows me to open the back up file, save it as a text file and continue my task? I don't really have the time for running restoring tools, which never has helped me in a satisfactory way anyway.  I wrote the document in gedit and my version of Ubuntu is 12.10.
