It starts off with an alien abduction, not sure but might be the parents of the protagonist. I remember the main character being maybe 16 years old as he is riding a motor cycle and playing Football (american). There are other protagonist that each fly in a separate spaceship that can assemble to one big one. They have a big robot that is stored under water. I believe it is red and white but not sure. I remember it had a Typhoon attack. Can anyone identify this?  EDIT: to add some more information, I watched it on VHS, not sure the release date but guessing before 1990. I'm guessing it is from america. The characters are all white I believe.   There were one girl and 4 boys as main characters. they were wearing different colors. The protagonist was wearing red and I think the leader of the gang was blue. A scene: the protagonist was playing football but suddenly he left the court and drove off in a motorcycle, think he got a vision or something that made him leave.  Another scene/plot: I remember the protagonist leaving the rest of the gang to go and do something by himself but got scolded by the leader since they can't fight as well with only 4. Can't remember a ton about the aliens, but I think they had big green buildings that was a half sphere sticking out of the ground and had a green beam they used to attack with.
I'm trying to find an anime movie I watched when I was younger; I believe I first watched it in 90/91. The story revolved around the recruitment and training of a group that would pilot a mecha that was similar to Voltron in that each pilot controlled a portion of the mecha that would merge into a bigger mecha. Points that I remember:   Started on Earth Program was government funded One of the pilots was related to the creator of the program, I think a female Mecha had chain weapon and a sword that was summoned from it's superhero-like chest icon. Killing blow was an m or w shape Ended with father/creator of mecha? being kidnapped by the aliens and used as human shield to deter attack on alien vessel
Determine the Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{a+b\sqrt{d}})$ Suppose $L=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{a+b\sqrt{d}})$,($d$ and $a+b\sqrt{d}$ are square free algebraic integers) when is $L/\mathbb{Q}$ a normal extension? When does $Aut(L/\mathbb{Q})=\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z}$ or $Aut(L/\mathbb{Q})=\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\times \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$? There are many (duplicate) questions about the acceptance, popularity and history of singular they (and their, them and themself) around here, it even got a tag of its own. If I didn’t miss anything, however, the proper verb form hasn’t been questioned yet.  As we all know, English third person singular pronouns (it, she, he and one, +body), names (Alice, Bob, …) and nouns (student, teacher, …) demand the +(e)s suffix be added to the finite verb form in simple present, where some auxiliary verbs have a “special” form (is &lt; *bes / *ares and has &lt; *haves). All other subjects don’t, including plural third person pronoun they.  When the plural you replaced thou (with thee, thy / thine), the other marked verb form that had remained in English – i.e. suffix +(e)st or +t – vanished, too. The first and second persons only ever appear as pronouns (I, we; you), not names or nouns, so there was no strong inclination to keep the verbal inflection.  The second person precedent would suggest that singular they be used with uninflected verb forms which is how it’s usually encountered in the wild. Assuming that they someday replaces he and she (and maybe it) it would lead to disagreement with the words the pronoun stands in for:        Alice         goes to her   place  by herself.   Bob           goes to his   place  by himself.   Alice and Bob go   to their place  by themselves. – (common)   Alice and Bob go   to their places by themselves. – (separate)                  She  goes to her   place  by herself.   He   goes to his   place  by himself.   They go   to their place  by themselves.   They go   to their places by themselves.                  They ?goes to their place  by themself.   ditto   They  go   to their place  by themselves.   They  go   to their places by themselves.                  They ?go to their place  by ?themselves.   ditto   They  go to their place  by  themselves.   They  go to their places by  themselves.      So why doesn’t singular they afford s on present-tense verbs like all other third person singular subjects do?   I learned about singular they only long after I had been taught English as a second language in school. That’s why it’s still a conscious decision to use it and hence I could easily adapt to use s forms with it, but would that sound and look funny / strange / wrong to native speakers? Is there a keyboard command for 'show desktop'? Like Windows, I want to hit Super+D to jump to the desktop or minimize all windows. I don't see command like that in Keyboard Shortcuts. Any idea? If $\sum a_n$ converges and $b_n=\sum\limits_{k=n}^{\infty}a_k $, prove that $\sum \frac{a_n}{b_n}$ diverges Let $\displaystyle \sum a_n$ be  convergent series of positive terms and set  $\displaystyle b_n=\sum_{k=n}^{\infty}a_k$ , then prove that $\displaystyle\sum \frac{a_n}{b_n}$ diverges.   I could see that $\{b_n\}$ is monotonically decreasing sequence converging to $0$ and I can write $\displaystyle\sum \frac{a_n}{b_n}=\sum\frac{b_n-b_{n+1}}{b_n}$, how shall I proceed further?

This question about  over on  made me wonder what a passenger is supposed to do when they urgently have to use the restroom while the fasten seat belt light is on. FAA regulations require passengers to obey the seat-belt sign, even if flight attendants do not.  I saw this happen on a flight where an older gentleman asked the flight attendant if he could use the restroom, and she said "not until the light is off". The flight had been free of turbulence for 15 minutes or so by this time, and the flight attendants were walking freely throughout the cabin, collecting post-meal trash, etc. The gentleman who asked to use the restroom appeared to be in quite some discomfort, and practically ran to the restroom when the light went off 10 minutes later.  So what is a passenger supposed to do when he isn't permitted to use the lavatory, when he has to go and can't wait? Just go in their seat? Projecting sp objects in R I have a number of shapefiles in different CRSs (mostly WGS84 lat/lon) that I'd like to transform into a common projection (likely Albers Equal Area Conic, but I may ask for help on choosing in another question once my problem gets better-defined).  I spent a few months doing spatial stats stuff in R, but it was 5 years ago.  For the life of me, I cannot remember how to transform an sp object (e.g. SpatialPolygonsDataFrame) from one projection to another.  Example code:  P4S.latlon &lt;- CRS("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84") hrr.shp &lt;- readShapePoly("HRR_Bdry"), verbose=TRUE, proj4string=P4S.latlon)  # Shapefile available at  #   http://www.dartmouthatlas.org/downloads/geography/hrr_bdry.zip  #   but you must rename all the filenames to have the same  #   capitalization for it to work in R   Now I have a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame with appropriate projection information, but I'd like to transform it to the desired projection.  I recall there being a somewhat unintuitively-named function for this, but I can't remember what it is.  Note that I do not want just to change the CRS but to change the coordinates to match ("reproject", "transform", etc.).  Edit  Excluding AK/HI which are annoyingly placed in Mexico for this shapefile:  library(taRifx.geo) hrr.shp &lt;-    subset(hrr.shp, !(grepl( "AK-" , hrr.shp@data$HRRCITY ) |                                      grepl( "HI-" , hrr.shp@data$HRRCITY )) ) proj4string(hrr.shp) &lt;- P4S.latlon Headers Including Each Other in C++ I'm a C++ newbie, but I wasn't able to find the answer to this (most likely trivial) question online.  I am having some trouble compiling some code where two classes include each other.  To begin, should my #include statements go inside or outside of my macros?  In practice, this hasn't seemed to matter.  However, in this particular case, I am having trouble.  Putting the #include statements outside of the macros causes the compiler to recurse and gives me "#include nested too deeply" errors.  This seems to makes sense to me since neither class has been fully defined before #include has been invoked.  However, strangely, when I try to put them inside, I am unable to declare a type of one of the classes, for it is not recognized.  Here is, in essence, what I'm trying to compile:  A.h  #ifndef A_H_ #define A_H_  #include "B.h"  class A {     private:         B b;      public:         A() : b(*this) {} };  #endif /*A_H_*/   B.h  #ifndef B_H_ #define B_H_  #include "A.h"  class B {     private:             A&amp; a;      public:         B(A&amp; a) : a(a) {}  };  #endif /*B_H_*/   main.cpp  #include "A.h"  int main() {     A a; }   If it makes a difference, I am using g++ 4.3.2.  And just to be clear, in general, where should #include statements go?  I have always seen them go outside of the macros, but the scenario I described clearly seems to break this principle.

Are there any cards that allow you to copy a card's text without copying its name? I was unable to find any but might have failed to search the right wording. I've heard of the idea of bootstrapping a language, that is, writing a compiler/interpreter for the language in itself.  I was wondering how this could be accomplished and looked around a bit, and saw someone say that it could only be done by either   writing an initial compiler in a different language. hand-coding an initial compiler in Assembly, which seems like a special case of the first   To me, neither of these seem to actually be bootstrapping a language in the sense that they both require outside support.  Is there a way to actually write a compiler in its own language? Conformally Map Region between tangent circles to Disk When do I use a dot, arrow, or double colon to refer to members of a class in C++? What is the correct way to write 1.5 hours? I'm a bit confused in describing 1.5hrs in words.   Is writing one and a half an hour correct or should it be one and half hour?  E.g:     I'll see you there in one and a half an hour.     OR       I'll see you there in one and half hour.   Or is there any other correct way of writing this? Suppose $E/F$ is a field extension and $\alpha, \beta \in E$ are algebraic over $F$. Then it is not too hard to see that when $\alpha$ is nonzero, $1/\alpha$ is also algebraic. If $a_0 + a_1\alpha + \cdots + a_n \alpha^n = 0$, then dividing by $\alpha^{n}$ gives $$a_0\frac{1}{\alpha^n} + a_1\frac{1}{\alpha^{n-1}} + \cdots + a_n = 0.$$     Is there a similar elementary way to show that $\alpha + \beta$ and $\alpha \beta$ are also algebraic (i.e. finding an explicit formula for a polynomial that has $\alpha + \beta$ or $\alpha\beta$ as its root)?    The only proof I know for this fact is the one where you show that $F(\alpha, \beta) / F$ is a finite field extension and thus an algebraic extension. What has Ramsay done to Theon torture-wise?
