I'm trying to enter in a reminder for payday.  I'm paid on the 15th of each month.  However, if the 15th falls on a Saturday or Sunday, I'm paid on Friday.  I have no problem entering a recurring event on the 15th.  It's not having it fall on a weekend that I can't figure out.   Someone asked a  but that is always setting a reminder on the 14, so that some months it would be early. It seems this person was trying to make Friday events fall on a Thursday and Sunday events fall on a Monday.  I want anything on Saturday or Sunday to fall on Friday.  I'm hoping to make an .ics event that I would import into my calendar.   worked for me to enter the event for the last day of the month but I can't figure out how to edit it to work on the 15th.  I was trying to edit BYSETPOS and it didn't work.
I would like to create a reminder on Google Calendar every month on the 15th, but if the 15th in that month is a Friday/Saturday, I want it automatically to set it to the closest Sunday/Thursday. Is this possible?
Is there are rule when to use opened vs open?  I always get confused even though I've been speaking English as the dominant language for more than half my life.  E.g.         Is the door open(ed)?   Which file do you have open(ed) in your editor? $n$ choose $k$ where $n$ is less than $k$ I am working on parameter estimation and one of the estimators involves a summation of $_nC_k$ ($n$ choose $k$) expressions. For some iterations, I need to compute expressions like $_0C_1$, $_0C_2$, etc.  In general how do we compute $_nC_k$ when $n$ is less than $k$? Do we still use the formula $\frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}$ and use the gamma function to compute the negative factorial?  Thanks! When should I publish in interdisciplinary versus subject-specific scientific journals? Most science research is published in subject-specific journals, of which there are many. However, there are a relatively small number of interdisciplinary journals, some of which are the most highly cited of all journals (Nature, Science); others have impact factors comparable to subject-specific journals (e.g., PLOS ONE, J. R. Soc. Interface, etc.).  If we discount arguments around open science and similar business model arguments (which could favor journals like PLOS ONE), and assume that the purpose of publishing is simply to get your research read (and cited) by the largest "relevant audience", when should one publish in an interdisciplinary journal versus a subject-specific journal (assuming they have comparable impact factors)? (Are there any papers out there that compare the fate of publications [or their authors!] in the two different types of journal?)  Thanks in advance. A is similar to $A^k$, then each eigenvalue of $A$ is a root of unity Let $A \in \mathbb{C}(n,n)$ and $k \geq 2$ be an integer such that $$A \sim A^k$$. Show that if $A$ is non-singular then each eigenvalue of $A$ is a root of unity.   Attempt: Since $A \sim A^k$, $$PA = A^kP$$ where $P$ is an invertible matrix. Since $A$ is invertible, $0$ cannot be an eigenvalue of $A$. Suppose $$Av = \lambda v \quad v \neq 0$$ then $$PAv = \lambda Pv$$ $$\therefore A^k(Pv) = \lambda (Pv) $$ but this implies that $Pv$ is an eigenvector of $A$. But the eigenvalues of $A^k$ are $\lambda^k$ $$\therefore \lambda^k=\lambda$$ which gives the conclusion required.   My questions is: Is the logic correct? If so, Am I missing any details? If not, then how could I approach this?   Thanks! How to mount read-write an ext4 partition on Windows? I want to use ext4 on my external HDD, but it must be cross-platform. (At least Linux, Win7 &amp; WinXP).  Unfortunately, I haven't found any proper driver allowing Windows to WRITE to ext4. I've found , but it only reads ext4.     9. ext4 extent read-only, no  size truncating and expanding support   More:     Supported Ext3/4 features:         flexible inode size: > 128 bytes, up to block size   dir_index:    htree directory index   filetype:     extra file mode in dentry   large_file:   > 4G files supported   sparse_super: super block backup in group descriptor   uninit_bg:    fast fsck and group checksum   extent:       reading, writing with no extending.   journal:      only support replay for internal journal         Unsupported Ext3/4 features:         journal: log-based operations, external journal   extent: size truncating &amp; expanding, file deletion   flex_bg: first metadata group   EA (extended attributes), ACL support      Also, I have found a patch for Ext4Fsd v0.50 ():     New: Matt Wu has made a new release 0.50 at   ext2fsd.com.  Support for ext4 extents and fix   for BSOD on Windows 7.   I don't think it will be safe. Also I've read some words about writing ext4 in Windows could cause data loss on the disk...  What is the External HDD used for? - First, it will store backups, then family movies, pictures. Some music, and etc. It will be connected to a Raspberry Pi, if I finally receive it. It won't really move, just when it is used to migrate computer's data to a new one. The largest files it will store are Clonezilla disk images (I don't know, if they will be large files or not).  Can someone provide a solution for this problem? Or is there NO important enough difference between ext4 and ext3, and I should use ext3? - (If yes, then can I use Ext2Fsd for that ext3 mount?)  Thank you! LED light fixture glows when not turned on This past week at Menards I bought 2 Smart Electrician® 3650 Lumens 46" LED Linkable Shop Light Model Number: 0053-0011  |  Menards® SKU: 3481400.  The LED shop light fixture has a glow to it. Looked like the LEDs were turned on, but not all the way. The power switch is turned off. Don’t know why I did this but I took one of those three prong adaptors converters to two prong and to my surprise the light fixture didn’t light up. I unplug the cord with the adaptor and turned it around and it still didn’t light up. The power supply electronics inside the light fixture must be using the earth ground wire somehow. Using my volt meter. I measured to earth ground to the green wire that comes out of the adaptor and to my surprise depending how I plug in the adaptor. I’m getting 112 volts AC. That's because the adaptor isn't keyed and I'm switching the HOT and NEUTRAL around depending how I  plug it in.  I connected the LED light fixture to “Safety Analyzer tester”. When I press the “Open Ground” button, the fixture stops glowing (lightly lite LED’s).  Looks like the power supply circuit inside the fixture has a connection to “Earth Ground”.  I then switched the “Normal” on the polarity switch to “Reverse” and the LED’s were off. Switching the Neutral to open position has no effect. I'm thinking of taking them apart and see inside what's going on or take them back.  I figured out the problem.    In this light fixture you can clearly see the white wire (neutral/common) is connected to the light switch, turning the power off the LED light strip. Commonly we switch off the “HOT” to your light socket so when you change your bulb you have a less of a chance of getting electrocuted (that’s another story for later). Sometimes in Power supply circuits they place capacitors in there to help filter electrical noise out. Also known as suppressers (electronics to reduce unwanted noise or oscillation in a circuit or unwanted frequencies in a signal). Depending on how or where they are placed in the circuit it could possible cause some issue if not installed correctly or if the circuit isn’t designed correctly.   Since the BLACK live wire is connected to the LED PCB all the time, anything connected to that line will potentially be LIVE voltage, that way when I disconnected the earth ground from the socket and measured 112 volts on it. My guess is they have capacitors connected to both LIVE and NEUTRAL to the earth ground wire.  The current is flowing through capacitor C2, just enough to turn the LED’s on slightly. If the switch was on the hot side, this problem wouldn’t be happening. I still may use them just not connect the “earth ground” wire. Because that’s providing the return path for lighting the LED’s.

I read on  that the netbook edition of Ubuntu was discontinued and that it is now integrated into the main distribution (as of 11.04).  I tried 11.04 on my new Samsung NC110-A06AU with 10.1" 1024x600 display. Most things worked out of the box, but some (like backlight power control) needed some  before they began to co-operate.  One thing that seems to be an ongoing problem is the resolution.  At 1024x600, most of the dialogue boxes run off the bottom of the screen, including the update manager. I have tried 11.10 beta 1 and it has the same problem.  Is there any way to fix this, or at least make it more usable? (I suspect not). Given the recent rise in popularity of netbooks, do you think Ubuntu will include a low-resolution-friendly version in the near future?  How well does KDE deal with these low resolutions? I noticed KDE Plasma has a netbook interface. Is it worth switching for that? Evaluating indefinite integrals of the form $\int \frac{x^2 \,dx}{a x^5 + b}$ Evaluate the indefinite integral   $$\int \frac{x^2 \,dx}{a x^5 + b},$$   for real parameters $a, b \neq 0$.   No apparent substitutions simplify the expression (if the exponent of $x$ were an integral multiple of $3$, this would suggest the substitution $u = x^3$, $du = 3 x^2 \,dx$, but the exponent is not). Applying integration by parts with $u = a x^5 + b$, $dv = x^2 dx$ is straightforward, but it produces an integrand with a much larger degree in the denominator and so appears only to make the situation worse. Applying integration by parts instead with $dw = \frac{x^k dx}{a x^5 + b}$ results in integrating $\frac{x^k dx}{a x^5 + b}$, which except when $k \equiv 4 \pmod 5$ (which doesn't appear immediately fruitful), doesn't appear much easier than the given integral. What is the unit of the coordinate system in PSTricks? If I use the following code, there two different kinds of units. One for the coordinate system used to declare \begin{pspicture} with (0,0) to (20,10), and the centimeter used in 4.2cm.  \begin{pspicture}(0,0)(20,10) \rput[lt](0.5,9){\psframebox[linewidth=1pt,framearc=0]{\parbox[c]{4.2cm}{\raggedright Text Goes Here...}}} \end{pspicture}   Can I use a unified dimension for both PSTricks objects and \parbox? include svg images with the svg package Suppose I'm given the mean and one quantile (e.g. the 20% quantile) of a random variable $x$, and I want to find the parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$ of a Beta distribution that has the same mean and quantile.  Is there an efficient way to do it?    Using just the mean, I know that since $\bar{x} = \frac{\alpha}{\alpha+\beta}$, we have $\beta = \frac{\alpha}{\bar{x}} - \alpha$.  So we only really have one parameter to estimate.  But I'm unsure how to use the quantile information to take the next step.  Maybe there's something I can do with the Incomplete Beta when I know the ratio $\frac{\beta}{\alpha} = \frac{1-\bar{x}}{\bar{x}}$?  I have access to R myself, so I could use a numerical optimizer for this, but ideally I need a method that can be carried out in Excel in someone else's environment.  Excel does have BETA.DIST() and BETA.INV() functions available.  A look-up table would be fine, but a closed-form formula would be better if it's possible. What is the sweet spot for experience gain?
