I have a B1/B2 visa, valid for a 10-year period.   I traveled to the US for the first time in 2016, stayed for four months, and left in August 2016.   I am planning to return in February 2017, just six months after my departure.  I'm concerned about how that will seem when I arrive at the border, and whether I will be questioned about my reasons for returning so soon.  Am I risking losing my visa since I just spent 4 months in the US and am going back so soon?
I hope someone can help me.  I am currently on holiday for 3 months in America under the Visa Waiver Program and would like to stay an extra 2 or 3 weeks. I know I will have to leave the country, renew my visa waiver and then reenter and so wanted to know if I will have an issue reentering.  I will only be out of the country for about 24 to 48 hours, just enough to renew the visa and get on a plane. I understand it is up to the border control person on the day, but does anyone think I will have an issue??
Paucity of words for relationships Please refer the following questions asked elsewhere on this site:       I am a native Hindi speaker; Hindi has a plethora of terms referring to relationships. To take a trivial example, the term uncle may refer to father's elder brother, father's younger brother, mother's brothers, father's sister's husband, mother's sister's husband, all of which have specific addresses in Hindi.  I discussed the same with one of my teachers. She had the opinion that the development of language mirrors the cultural moorings of the society that uses the language. Now, since all of the above relationships have distinct status and reverence in the Hindi speaking society, that calls for different addresses. That may well not be the case in English speaking societies.  Is that correct? What other linguistic reasons may account for such a dearth of vocabulary in English in this area? This looks a little bit like a variation on  but specific to the tags view.

For example, if $$   a=(1\,3\,5\,2),\quad b=(2\,5\,6),\quad c=(1\,6\,3\,4), $$  then why does $ab=(1\,3\,5\,6)$ and $ac=(1\,6\,5\,2)(3\,4)$? What is involved in converting a PC video card to have boot screen on the Mac? I've got a PC video card that I'd like to get boot screen support for on my Mac Pro. In particular, it is a Gigabyte R9 270X. The card is supported on the Mac once it boots, but I would like to get boot screen back since my old 8800GT has been baked in the oven a few too many times by now :-)  I've seen numerous guides on the internet about flashing the BIOS on the video cards and also ones that speak about adding the EFI BIOS, but in the haphazard forum approach, it isn't clear how this all works. To some degree, I've recently come away with the notion that you don't get rid of the existing BIOS, but rather add an EFI partition to it that the Mac would recognize. If that assumption is correct, then it would lead me to believe that adding an EFI BIOS that works on a similar card (R9 280X or 7950 which are both close but not quite) should work since I'm assuming that the existing BIOS would be similar enough to hook in. Failing that, I'm not clear how you would get a card-specific EFI BIOS for boot screen support.  Anyone an expert on this? I'm just really having a hard time trying to sift through all this and hoping to get a more direct answer! Negative values for AICc (corrected Akaike Information Criterion) I have calculated AIC and AICc to compare two general linear mixed models; The AICs are positive with model 1 having a lower AIC than model 2.  However, the values for AICc are both negative (model 1 is still &lt; model 2).  Is it valid to use and compare negative AICc values? The version of python2 on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine is Python 2.7.6. How can I upgrade it to the the latest version of Python 2.X? The latest is currently 2.7.11.  I have tried apt-get update/upgrade, but the repository doesn't seem to have the latest version. Where is the denoise option in 2.90? I want to create a standalone python script using QGIS python API (PYQGIS) for education. First I create a model and export that model to python script.  original python script from the export :  ##=name ##raster=raster ##stat=output html outputs_QGISRASTERLAYERSTATISTICS_1=processing.runalg('qgis:rasterlayerstatistics', raster,stat)   Next I read this  and I tried to follow this tutorial to create my script.  Final script :  import sys from qgis.core import QgsApplication from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication app = QApplication([]) QgsApplication.setPrefixPath("/usr", True) QgsApplication.initQgis()  # Prepare processing framework  sys.path.append('/home/username/.qgis2/python') from processing.core.Processing import Processing dem='aster.tif' slope='slope.tif' aspect='aspect.tif' outputs_SAGASLOPEASPECTCURVATURE_1=processing.runalg('saga:slopeaspectcurvature', dem,6,1,1,slope,aspect,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None) Processing.initialize()  # Exit applications QgsApplication.exitQgis() QApplication.exit()   If I run this script it works fine without error but I don't take some export like aspect and slope (these can't be found?). Any idea why I can't take exports ?  I use Ubuntu and python 2.7 and QGIS 2.18.1.    i try to this script :  import sys from qgis.core import QgsApplication sys.path.append('/usr/share/qgis/python/plugins') import processing a=processing.alglist() print a processing.alghelp("saga:slopeaspectcurvature")   and i take that print any idea why ?  Algorithm not found   but if i use this module in QGIS work fine. How to provide a counterexample for if $n$ is prime, then $2^n -1$ is prime I have the following question where I need to provide a counterexample     if $n$ is prime, then $2^n -1$ is prime   The statement is invalid and I now that $2^n -1$ is not prime when $ n = 11$, but other than plugging in prime numbers is there any other way to figure out whether $2^n -1$ is prime if $n$ is prime?

What does the plus sign do in '+new Date' Following the guidelines suggested in , I am going to post a proposed proof as an answer to the theorem below. I believe the proof works, but would appreciate any needed corrections.  Theorem If a series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_n$ of real numbers converges then $\lim_{n \to \infty}a_n = 0$ Bash Brace Expansion & Variables I have a find command:  find Directory/{Alpha,Bravo,Charlie} arg1 arg2   I want to replace Alpha,Bravo,Charlie with $find_dir  find Directory/{$find_dir} arg1 arg2   however the latter expands to   find Directory/{Alpha,Bravo,Charlie} arg1 arg2   rather then   find Directory/Alpha Directory/Bravo Directory/Charlie arg1 arg2   Why? It's part of a fairly complex bash script that may have more or less directories, not all which are relevant (so globbing Upload/* would not work). So if I setup three now and add another, I'll have to manually add it in later. Plus I need it run from the root of directories to keep finds outputs perspective (./Upload/Dir/file as opposed to ./Dir/file).   But using a variable would permit me to change that as needed and keep it relevant to other parts of the script. How to show only date after the date of today in JCalendar Extension “RANDR” missing on xvfb My system:  $lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Release:        14.04 Codename:       trusty   Xvfb:  $ dpkg -s xvfb Package: xvfb Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: x11 Installed-Size: 2140 Maintainer: Ubuntu X-SWAT &lt;ubuntu-x@lists.ubuntu.com&gt; Architecture: amd64 Multi-Arch: foreign Source: xorg-server Version: 2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2.7 Provides: xserver   Current problem:  Xvfb do not support RANDR extension, even if I add the flag:  +extension RANDR   If I run xdpyinfo, RANDR is not on the list. It's a missing feature or a bug. I found a reference here with a patch:   And looks like that in other distros like debian, there is already a testing build of Xvfb with support:   I am trying to run a program throught Xvfb, and it returns the following error:  Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":99".   The program works if I run it via ssh/command line. The problem appears to be the the lack of support for "RANDR" in xvfb.  My question is: what is the easiest way to get xvfb with "RANDR" support in my system? How can I quickly get a player back into a session after their character dies? As a GM, what kind of techniques could I use to help a player re-join the gaming session after their character dies? I want to avoid any major interruptions to the flow of the adventure. I would also like to avoid having to end the session immediately or making them sit on the side-lines for the rest of the session. Why does the volume of the unit sphere go to zero? The volume of a $d$ dimensional hypersphere of radius $r$ is given by:  $$V(r,d)=\frac{(\pi r^2)^{d/2}}{\Gamma\left(\frac{d}{2}+1\right)}$$  What intrigues me about this, is that $V\to 0$ as $d\to\infty$ for any fixed $r$.  How can this be?  For fixed $r$, I would have thought adding a dimension would make the volume bigger, but apparently it does not.  Anyone got a good explanation? Posting only once every 40 minutes even for experienced users? I have low rep on Physics &amp; Woodworking, but not so on Stack Overflow.  I just tried to ask &lt; 40 minute interval on those two and got hit with the :    I posted once on Woodworking, then ~5 minutes later tried to post on Physics, and was denied because of the 40 min rule. So apparently the system looks cross-network to assess this rule.  It seems the system is looking at my lowest cross-network rep when applying this rule rather than highest rep? What is the point of this very conservative approach? It would seem there is very little chance that a user with high rep on ANY site is likely to spam or abuse the lower-rep sites. And obviously this discourages participation across the network.  Furthermore, an improvement at least would be to warn the user ASAP so they aren't stuck with a nicely worded question in their browser window only which could be forgotten, lost, etc. As it is you only get the warning when you click [Post Your Question].
