I founded a religion in my capital (Buddhism).  After another civilization converted my city to their religion, I used an , thinking it would remove the other civilization's religion.  However, I was wrong.... very wrong.  Now, when I refer to my Religion Overview, it turns out no other cities/city-states follow Buddhism, so clearly my religion did not stand the test of time.    Question:  Is it possible to resurrect a religion?   Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I eliminated a computer player that had a strong religion (Buddhism). My religion was weak, whereas this other one was taking over the continent quickly. Now that I have him overrun, I want, well wanted, to work on converting cities to mine, but I see now that all of the cities period have his religion! I tried making an Inquisitor just to test, but he is ineffectual at removing Buddhism, being that I can only buy him in Buddhist cities. (Because all of my cities are Buddhist and my religion, Shinto, has been wiped out.   Is there no way to recover your religion in such a situation?
What is the use/meaning of 'swap area' while linux installation? When i installed ubuntu in my x86 machine, I had to configure some memory as 'swap area'.  What is the use of this memory and what is the importance of this memory in linux file systems?  How can I determine the exact size of 'swap area' in a machine for the safe working of linux inside in it?

I'm trying to place a national park here:    But the button to create one with the Naturalist is greyed out:    I know the civopedia lists the requirements for building a national park, but they are either wrong or I'm having a hard time understanding them:   The tiles must be natural wonders, Mountains or a tile with an Appeal of Charming or better. As you can see the top are both Breathtaking and the bottom ones are part of the Great Barrier Reef wonder All four tiles must be owned by the same city. All tiles are within the boarders of Mbwila The tiles for a diamond shape. All tiles are connected close to each other in a diamond shape No tile can have an improvement or district on it. All tiles are in their initial condition.   So I'm probably missing something. Can someone tell me what's the problem? How do I make the player name show up on a /tellraw command? So I am currently making a minecraft custom map (for 1.9). I want to make the player "say" something using /tellraw commands. I did figure out how to make the player name come up using /say commands, but still have no idea how to do it using the /tellraw command.  How do I do that? I'm trying to work out this shoulder deformation. I can't figure it out.  Is there anything wrong in my armature? Should i add bones and keep more control of my mesh or use shape keys? Here is my file blend. Word for killing off or attempting to kill off an entire bloodline? I would like to know if there is a word or phrase for a systematic campaign to annihilate every descendant of a particular ancestor.   We have the word 'genocide' for killing off an entire race, and plenty of words for killing people based on how they are related to you (fratricide, filicide, et. al.), but looking over the  and the , I couldn't find a term for systematically killing an entire bloodline.   My question is prompted by a US news story about the horrific murder of 8 members of the same family, but those murders are not an example of what I'm thinking of because the children of the victims were left alive, so the motive for the killings was not to kill off the bloodline. The sense that some group had coordinated an attack against just one family is what made me wonder what the "not an entire race, just one bloodline" version of 'genocide' would be called.   Searching the Internet for "kill off" and bloodline sends me straight into the land of vampires, Illuminati, reptilian overlords, and, naturally, Priory of Sion nonsense so I haven't had much luck finding a thread to pull.   It may be that there is no word for it in the sense of murdering a human bloodline, because we just don't attempt kill off our royals down to the last heir often enough to coin a term for it. Maybe there is a scientific term for culling a line from a test population as part of biological research? How does the subject-verb agreement work when a singular noun describes a plural one? Of the following, which sentence is righter?  The computers is a good choice. The computers are a good choice.  Is there a rule about these types of formations? Please explain. I really hope someone will take a quick look at the following, I would just love to better understand it...  This exercise is from Arnold's "Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics", p. 97 in the chapter on d'Alemberts principle:  A rod of weight P, tilted at an angle of 60° to the plane of a table, begins to fall with initial velocity zero. Find the constraint force of the table at the initial moment, considering the table as  (a) absolutely smooth  (b) absolutely rough  (In the first case, the holonomic constraint holds the end of the rod on the plane of the table, and in the second case, at a given point.)"      I must admit, I am pretty unsure on how to do calculations using this "fancy" mathematical kind of physics.  First off, I'm lost with (a). But I'll have a go at (b): As far as I understood, d'Alemberts principle states, that if $M$ is a constraining manifold, $x(q)$ is a curve in $M$ and $\xi$ is a vector perpendicular to $T_xM$, then $x$ satisfies Lagrange's equations  $\frac{d}{dt} \frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot q} = \frac{\partial L}{\partial q} \qquad L = \frac{{\dot x}^2}{2} - U(x)$  iff for the following inner product, we have  $\left(m \ddot x + \frac{\partial U}{\partial x}, \xi \right) = 0$  I guess that's about right so far? The constraint would in this case essentially be $\mathbb S^1$, since the rod moves on a circe around the point in contact with the table. Can we assume that all the rod's mass is at the center of mass?  Would we then have $U(x) = -gx_2$ in this case (where $x_2$ is the vertical component of $x$)?  If yes, then $\partial U / \partial x = -ge_2$. Where $e_1, e_2$ are the horizontal and vertical unit vectors, respectively.  At the inital moment, we have $x = \cos(60°) e_1 + \sin(60°) e_2$, so by d'Alembert's principle we must have  $\left(m \ddot x + \frac{\partial U}{\partial x}, \cos(60°) e_1 + \sin(60°) e_2 \right) = 0$  or written differently  $m \ddot {x_1} \cos(60°) + m \ddot{x_2} \sin(60°) - \sin(60°)g = 0$    So: Is this correct so far? Or am I way off? Is (a) handled any differently up to this point?  Thanks for reading (and hopefully thanks for your helpful reply)!  If anyone could recommend a good problem book (with solutions), in which this kind of mathematical approach is used (I don't know if this is how physicists would actually compute stuff??), I would greatly appreciate it.  Kind regards,  Sam Incoming light reacts with the several types of cone cells in the eye. In humans, there are three types of cones sensitive to three different spectra, resulting in trichromatic color vision. Each individual cone contains pigments composed of opsin apoprotein, which is covalently linked to either 11-cis-hydroretinal or more rarely 11-cis-dehydroretina.  The opsins (photopigments) present in the L and M cones are encoded on the X chromosome.  A very small percentage of women may have an extra type of color receptor because they have different alleles for the gene for the L opsin on each X chromosome. X chromosome inactivation means that only one opsin is expressed in each cone cell, and some women may therefore show a degree of tetrachromatic color vision. Tetrachromacy is also demonstrated among several species of birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles and insects.  Humans cannot see ultraviolet light directly because the lens of the eye blocks most light in the wavelength range of 300–400 nm.  So, besides above mentioned exceptions, is it possible due to mutations or genetic engineering to see UV or infrared. What kind of mutations should be made or are the changes to be made in the opsines to big to create 'alien' eyes? How and why do you use an image histogram? I realize that an image histogram is a graphical display of an images tonal distribution (i.e. horizontal darks to lights, vertical pixel distribution), but how does one really use it and why? I mean, can't you determine everything you need just by looking at the image? No such file or directory? But the file exists! I've downloaded a game (Shank) but the bin file doesn't run. The error that is shown when I try to launch the executable is:  bash: ./shank-linux-120720110-1-bin: No such file or directory Why couldn't Harry see Thestrals at the end of Goblet of Fire? Why couldn't Harry see Thestrals at the end of Goblet of Fire after the senseless and shocking death of Cedric Diggory?   At the end of Goblet of Fire, the carriages still appeared horseless to Harry:     Hermione turned away, smiling at the horseless carriages which were now trundling towards them up the drive, as Krum, looking surprised, but gratified, signed a fragment of   parchment for Ron.   Goblet of Fire - Page 629 - British Hardcover - Adult Edition   At the beginning of Order of the Phoenix, Harry sees the Thestrals for the first time:     Here stood the hundred or so horseless stagecoaches that always took the students above first year up to the castle. Harry glanced quickly at them, turned away to keep a lookout for Ron and Hermione, then did a double-take.   The coaches were no longer horseless. There were creatures standing between the carriage shafts.   Order of the Phoenix - Page 178 - British Hardcover - Adult Edition   We know that only those who have seen death can see Thestrals:     ‘Don’ worry, it won’ hurt yeh,’ said Hagrid patiently. ‘Righ’, now, who can tell me why some o’ yeh can see ’em an’ some can’t?’   Hermione raised her hand.   ‘Go on then,’ said Hagrid, beaming at her.   ‘The only people who can see Thestrals,’ she said, ‘are people who have seen death.’   ‘Tha’s exactly right,’ said Hagrid solemnly [...]   Order of the Phoenix - Page 394 - British Hardcover - Adult Edition   A month went by between Cedric's death and the end of the spring term -- is this enough time for Harry to have truly internalized Cedric's death? Goblet of Fire indicates that Harry was in shock following Cedric's murder, but was able to relate the story of Cedric's death to Mr. and Mrs. Diggory.     When he looked back, even a month later, Harry found he had few memories of the following days. It was as though he had been through too much to take in any more. The recollections he did have were very painful. The worst, perhaps, was the meeting with the Diggorys that took place the following morning.   [...]   ‘He suffered very little, then,’ she said, when Harry had told her how Cedric had died.'   Goblet of Fire - Page 621 - British Hardcover - Adult Edition   So, then, why couldn't Harry see Thestrals at the end of Goblet of Fire? Are primes (ignoring $2$) equally likely to be $1~\text{or}~3\pmod 4$? For all primes $p\neq 2$, it's easy to see that $$p\equiv 1~\text{or}~3\pmod 4$$ I was wondering if it's equally likely ($50\%-50\%$) that prime modulo $4$ is $1$ or $3$. And if so, is there a simple proof? As an example I have a BSB file from NOAA which is a navigational map. The map has a SRS of WGS84 and a Mercator projection.  I initially translate the file from BSB format to GTiff format using the following command:  gdal_translate -of GTiff 18554_1.kap noaa.tif  I can view this GTiff file using Paint Shop Pro quite fine. I then translate the file from GTiff format to VRT format using the following command:  gdal_translate -of vrt –expand rgba noaa.tif noaa.vrt  I then try to generate a tile matrix set using the following command:  gdal2tiles.py noaa.vrt tiles_folder  Where the map tiles are located in tiles_folder. If I try to open the openmaps.html or google.html, the map zoom in and out looks good. However, on tiles generator like MBTiles, I see tiles swap. See the image below. I am pulling my hair off to get the tiles to line up. I am guessing it is projection error. I am not understanding those projection types. It would great someone can explain it while finding the error. I am planning to use on a tiling  like this. By the way, on GDAL how do I specify the BSB (reference) file that is associated with KAP (data) file? I have seen cases where only one BSB file referred by multiple KAP files. Start a new process without blocking the terminal Is it possible to do this? For example if I run "gedit tifatul.txt" via the command line, my terminal becomes blocked and I can't enter other command in this terminal before I quit gedit. Can I start a program (like gedit) without blocking the terminal? In windows I think this can be done like "start notepad tifatul.txt" Why isn't $\mathbb Z [\sqrt{pq}]$ a factorial domain This is exercise 8 on page 147 of Jacobson's Basic Algebra:     Let $p$ be a prime of the form $4n+1$ and let $q$ be a prime such that $ \left( \frac{q}{p} \right) =-1$. Show that $\mathbb Z[\sqrt{pq}]$ is not factorial.   Here, $ \left( \frac{q}{p} \right) =-1$ means that $\overline{q}$ is not a quadratic number in the field $\mathbb Z / (p)$.  In the special case when $p=5$ and $q=2$, $9 = 3 \cdot 3 = (\sqrt{10} +1 )(\sqrt{10 }-1)$, with $3$ and $\sqrt{10} +1$ or $\sqrt{10} - 1$ nonassociates. But I have no idea what can I do with the general case.  I know that primes of the form $4n+1$ can be written in the form $m^2 + n^2$ with $m,n \in \mathbb Z$. But when $q$ is odd and not of the form $4n+1$, $pq$ is not the sum of two quadratic numbers. How can I use the fact $\left( \frac{q}{p} \right) =-1$?  Thanks~ I am looking for a clean and fast method to force GNOME in Ubuntu 14.04 to switch between active apps only on the current workspace when pressing the shortcut alt + tab. I have run a multiple linear regression using stepwise regression to select the best model, however the best model returned has a non-significant variable. When I remove this the AIC value goes up indicating the model without the significant variable is a worse fit. Should I remove the non-significant predictor or should I leave it in as it is a better model? How to replace forward slash with backward slash
