I'm looking for the term, word and or phrase that describes groups of animals. I'd like to know all the words that refer to all groups of animals.
I love the subset of collective nouns known as the terms of venery. These are collective nouns specific to a particular group of animals. Some of the more inventive examples are: a murder of crows, a crash of rhinos, a mischief of mice, and a puddling of ducks (specifically swimming ducks).  Is there a standard for these group names and is there a central reference for them as with other zoological taxonomy?  I can see in the Wikipedia articles that the practice has its origins in Medieval Hunting tradition, but the Kangaroo (Mob), for instance would have been unknown at that time, so how do new collections come into being?

What is the present procedure to load LAS files in QGIS 2.0.1?  After some searching I found a paper outlining the procedure; however, it was for 1.8.something, and related posts here are all rather dated. I've just created an account to submit an application to the Ubuntu Software Centre and the agreement says: "You are responsible for determining applicable taxes in connection with distributing your App, and you shall pay applicable taxes to the applicable tax authorities.".  Does this mean that Canonical doesn't collect tax (especially VAT in the EU) and it's my responsibility to do it?   Also, am I wrong to assume that the price listed by the USC is the same for both people who pay taxes and for those who don't need to pay them? Where do I ask where to ask? Programmatical Setting of 'Store Relative Pathways' for multiple MXDs ArcGIS 10.1 I am looking to move large number of mxds to a different location on the same drive. Many mxds haven't got 'Store relative pathways' option checked therefore this operation will result in broken links to data. I've only started using ArcGIS 10.1 and it is now possible to programmatically update relative pathways for all mxds by using arcPy and setting relativePaths to be "True". I had a go at writing Python script which (in theory) loops through a top folder and searches for all mxds and then updates "Store relative pathways" setting to be on. When I run this script in PyScripter, it fails to complete, I get the following error:  "exceptions.NameError: name 'mxd' is not defined  Can anyone help ?!? Thanks in advance, Magda      import arcpy, os  folderPath = r"C:\My Folder Path\...\...\..."  for filename in os.listdir(folderPath):     fullpath = os.path.join(folderPath, filename)     if os.path.isfile(fullpath):         basename, extension = os.path.splitext(fullpath)         if extension.lower() == ".mxd":             mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(fullpath)             mxd.relativePaths = 'True'         mxd.save() del mxd I had originally coded the program wrongly. Instead of returning the Fibonacci numbers between a range (ie. startNumber 1, endNumber 20 should = only those numbers between 1 &amp; 20), I have written for the program to display all Fibonacci numbers between a range (ie. startNumber 1, endNumber 20 displays = First 20 Fibonacci numbers). I thought I had a sure-fire code. I also do not see why this is happening.  startNumber = int(raw_input("Enter the start number here ")) endNumber = int(raw_input("Enter the end number here "))  def fib(n):     if n &lt; 2:         return n     return fib(n-2) + fib(n-1)  print map(fib, range(startNumber, endNumber))   Someone pointed out in my Part II (which was closed for being a duplicate - ) that I need to pass the startNumber and endNumber through a generator using a while loop. Can someone please point me in the direction on how to do this? Any help is welcome.    I'm a learning programmer and I've run into a bit of a jumble. I am asked to write a program that will compute and display Fibonacci's Sequence by a user inputted start number and end number (ie. startNumber = 20 endNumber = 100 and it will display only the numbers between that range). The trick is to use it inclusively (which I do not know how to do in Python? - I'm assuming this means to use an inclusive range?).  What I have so far is no actual coding but rather:   Write Fib sequence formula to infinite Display startNumber to endNumber only from Fib sequence.   I have no idea where to start and I am asking for ideas or insight into how to write this. I also have tried to write the Fib sequence forumla but I get lost on that as well. What happens to half of the energy in a circuit with a capacitor? For a simple circuit with a battery supplying a voltage $V$ to a capacitor, let us assume that the charge on the capacitor is $Q$. Now, the work done by the battery or the energy supplied is given by the relation:  $$W=QV$$  But the energy stored in the capacitor is given by:  $$U = \tfrac12 QV$$  The value of $Q$ as well as that of $V$ should be the same in both the equations.  Now my question is, where is the other half of the energy that the battery supplied? failed to fetch security undermined error [IP: 91.189.91.38 80] in ubuntu 20.04 How to import footage in the VSE for optimal playback and organization?

Let $f(x)=x+\frac{x^2}{2}+\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^4}{4}+\frac{x^5}{5}$   And $g(x)=f^{-1}(x)$  Find $g'''(0)$  My attempt:  We know that $g'(x)=\frac{1}{f'(g(x))}$  $f'(x)=1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4=\frac{x^5-1}{x-1}$  $f'(g(x))=\frac{(g(x))^5-1}{(g(x))-1}$  $\Rightarrow g'(x)=\frac{(g(x))-1}{(g(x))^5-1}$  $\Rightarrow g'(x)[(g(x))^5-1]=g(x)-1$  Similarly differentiating again,  $\Rightarrow g'(x)[5(g(x))^4]+[(g(x))^5-1]g''(x)=g'(x)$  Similarly differentiating again,  $\Rightarrow g'(x)[20(g(x))^3g'(x)]+[5(g(x))^4]g''(x)+[(g(x))^5-1]g'''(x)+g''(x)[5(g(x))^4]=g''(x)$  Putting $x=0$,  $g(0)=f^{-1}(0)=0$  $g'(0)=\frac{1}{f'(g(0))}=\frac{1}{f'(0)}=1$  similarly,$g''(0)=-1$  $\Rightarrow g'''(0)=1$ Proof by Induction: Prove that $2^n > n^2$, for all natural numbers greater than or equal to $5$ How can I reinstall GRUB to the EFI partition?

Generating samples from singular Gaussian distribution Let random vector $x = (x_1,...,x_n)$ follow multivariate normal distribution with mean $m$ and covariance matrix $S$. If $S$ is symmetric and positive definite (which is the usual case) then one can generate random samples from $x$ by first sampling indepently $r_1,...,r_n$ from standard normal and then using formula $m + Lr$, where $L$ is the Cholesky lower factor so that $S=LL^T$ and $r = (r_1,...,r_n)^T$.  What about if one wants samples from singular Gaussian i.e. $S$ is still symmetric but not more positive definite (only positive semi-definite). We can assume also that the variances (diagonal elements of $S$) are strictly positive. Then some elements of $x$ must have linear relationship and the distribution actually lies in lower dimensional space with dimension $&lt;n$, right?  It is obvious that if e.g. $n=2, m = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}, S = \begin{bmatrix} 1 &amp; 1 \\ 1 &amp; 1\end{bmatrix}$ then one can generate $x_1 \sim N(0,1)$ and set $x_2=x_1$ since they are fully correlated. However, is there any good methods for generating samples for general case $n&gt;2$? I guess one needs first to be able identify the lower dimensional subspace, then move to that space where one will have valid covariance matrix, then sample from it and finally deduce the values for the linearly dependent variables from this lower-dimensional sample. But what is the best way to that in practice? Can someone point me to books or articles that deal with the topic; I could not find one.
