How can I make my title page in beamer look like    with an vertically full width image and the blue bar in the bottom?  I don't know which functions to use to change this  \documentclass{beamer}  \title{Women Matter: \\ Making the Breakthrough} \subtitle{Presentation for Highways Agency/WTS} \author{} \date{18th of September 2012}  \titlegraphic{\includegraphics[width=2cm]{vertical_image.jpg}}  \begin{document}  \begin{frame} \maketitle \end{frame}  \end{document}
How can I modify title page so that it looks like it is in  video. Please seek to 16 seconds and watch title page. I do not have permission to post images. I liked this theme and I want to make a beamer theme that looks similar. I tried with beamercolorbox but I failed to position the box to the bottom.      Edit: Here is my minimum working example  \documentclass[xcolor=dvipsnames]{beamer} \defbeamertemplate*{title page}{customized}[1][] { \usebeamerfont{subtitle} \usebeamercolor[fg]{subtitle}  {\flushright \setbeamercolor{author}{bg=white,fg=Red} \usebeamerfont{author} \insertauthor\par \usebeamerfont{institute}\insertinstitute\par }  \vspace{0.2in}  \setbeamercolor{postit}{fg=white,bg=YellowOrange}  \begin{beamercolorbox}[sep=1em,wd=1.062\textwidth,ht=3cm,dp=3cm,right]{postit} \usebeamerfont{title} {\huge \inserttitle}\par \usebeamerfont{subtitle} {\insertsubtitle} \end{beamercolorbox} } \usecolortheme[named=YellowOrange]{structure} \useoutertheme{infolines} \setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}  \institute{Harvard College Professor and\\ Johnstone Family Professor in Psychology, Harvard University}  \title{SAY WHAT?} \subtitle{Linguistics as a Window to\\ Understanding the Brain} \author{Steven Pinker}  \begin{document} { \setbeamertemplate{footline}{} \begin{frame} \titlepage \end{frame} } \end{document}
Is there a symbol for "unitless"? Examples and further results about the order of the product of two elements in a group Let $G$ be a group and let $a,b$ be two elements of $G$. What can we say about the order of their product $ab$?   says "not much":     There is no general formula relating the order of a product $ab$ to the orders of $a$ and $b$. In fact, it is possible that both $a$ and $b$ have finite order while $ab$ has infinite order, or that both $a$ and $b$ have infinite order while $ab$ has finite order.   On the other hand no examples are provided. $(\mathbb{Z},+), 1$ and $-1$ give an example of elements of infinite order with product of finite order. I can't think of any example of the other kind! So:   What's an example of a group $G$ and two elements $a,b$ both of finite order such that their product has infinite order?     Wikipedia then states:     If $ab = ba$, we can at least say that $\mathrm{ord}(ab)$ divides $\mathrm{lcm}(\mathrm{ord}(a), \mathrm{ord}(b))$   which is easy to prove, but not very effective. So:   What are some similar results about the order of a product, perhaps with some additional hypotheses? Like the title says, can a matrix in $\mathbb{R}$ have a minimal polynomial that has coefficients in $\mathbb{C}$?  I have a feeling the answer is yes because the characteristic polynomial can have coefficients in $\mathbb{C}$ and so I don't see any reason why not, I was merely asking in case there was some sneaky proof that proves that this cannot happen. My headphones are not playing voices, but only the music When can uncountable nouns be countable? How do I get the latest GIMP version available? I understand that there is a new version of the GIMP available, although it appears that the only way of doing this is by compiling from source :P  Is there another way of getting it, or if I have to compile can I do that through the terminal or better still; a GUI? I would like to understand a couple of fact on maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) for logistic regressions.   Is it true that, in general, the MLE for logistic regression is biased? I would say "yes". I know, for example, that sample dimension is related to the asymptotic bias of MLEs.   Do you know any elementary examples of this phenomenon? If the MLE is biased, is it true that the covariance matrix of the MLEs is the inverse of the Hessian of the maximum likelihood function?   edit: I have met this formula quite often and without any proof; it seems a quite arbitrary choice to me. Reference help for "fuzzy mathematics" I want to study Fuzzy Sets and Fuzzy logic self. For that what would be better book to start from basic? What is the proof that a force applied on a rigid body will cause it to rotate around its center of mass? Since a few months, on one of the desktop Ubuntu 14.04 systems I use, CPU has regularly been going up to 80-100% for no apparent reason. htop would usually attribute responsability to file system processes, such as nemo or ntfs. To get CPU back down I would kill these process, which in some cases would lead to loss of access to the file system and a consequent restart.  Days ago I noticed that whenever this situation happened another process was always present also using high CPU: mediascanner-service-2.0. Some research lead me to  that simply advised its removal. So I did.  The end result has been unexpectedly positive: not only are the high CPU load episodes gone, the system is altogether much faster. The speed up of the Lens is dramatic: finding an application like Calc now takes 2 seconds at most when previously it took some 20 seconds. Finding a file takes now some 5 seconds, whereas before it took in the order of 30 seconds. Heavy programmes like Eclipse are starting up faster and workspaces are more fluid. There seems to be also an overall reduction in the frequency of disk access.  What is exactly this mediascanner2.0 package? Is it part of Unity 7 or a dependency that gets installed a posteriori? Is it possible to prevent its installation?  Update: following  it is possible to track this package down to indicator-session:  $ sudo aptitude why mediascanner2.0 i   indicator-session         Recommends indicator-applet (&gt;= 0.2) | indicator-renderer i A unity8                    Provides   indicator-renderer                             i A unity8                    Recommends unity-scope-mediascanner2                      pi  unity-scope-mediascanner2 Depends    mediascanner2.0                                  Apparently, mediascanner2.0 (and the Unity 8 shell) are part of the base 14.04 system. Left to answer is the exact function of this rogue package. The ^^ notation in various engines Basically, how does the ^^^... notation work in LuaTeX and XeTeX, exactly?  In 8-bit TeX engines (recent TeX, eTeX, pdfTeX, at least), two consecutive identical catcode 7 characters (typically ^), followed by two lowercase hexadecimal digits, are converted before the tokenization step to the corresponding byte.  Namely, ^^6f is exactly equivalent to o: for instance, \sh^^6fw ^^6f will cause TeX to show the letter o.  There is also the notation with two ^ (identical catcode 7 characters), followed by any ascii character (but not two lowercase hexadecimal digits), which is replaced by the character obtained by either subtracting or adding 64 to the character code, remaining among ASCII characters (range 0 to 128).  Unicode-aware engines (I'm thinking of LuaTeX and XeTeX, there are perhaps other less known ones around) also provide ^^^^xxxx and ^^^^^xxxxx for characters whose hexadecimal representation has 4, or 5 digits.  But this does not seem to be done in the same way across engines.  For instance, both LuaTeX and XeTeX appear to accept the notation with 4, 5, or 6 carets followed by the same number of hexadecimal digits, but XeTeX also accepts it for 3, while LuaTeX doesn't. Compiling the following with pdfTeX, LuaTeX, and XeTeX gives different results.  \catcode0=12 \newlinechar=10 \def\loopshow#1{\message{\meaning #1^^J}\loopshow} \loopshow \/   ^^56   ^^^056   ^^^^0056   ^^^^^00056   ^^^^^^000056   ^^^^^^^0000056 {\end\iffalse} \fi} \bye   One weird fact about XeTeX (a bug?) is that  \show ^^^^^^010101   shows the character displaywidth.  My goal (there may be a better way to do this) is to provide a way to test whether passing a given list of tokens through \scantokens is safe.  For that, my plan is to go through the \detokenized token list one character at a time, applying TeX's rule for tokenizing (but no need to fully tokenize), and detecting begin-group and end-group tokens, as well as invalid characters. Can Recovery Mode install OS X onto a blank SSD? I want to install a new Solid State Drive (SSD) into the Mac. Can I just build in the SSD, start the MacBook in Recovery Mode and install OS X from there on?  After reading a lot on the internet I still have some doubts…  My HDD crashed, I can't repair it using disk utility or the fsck methods as mentioned on the internet.  According to  it should be possible.  I know how to replace the HDD with the SSD. I would go for the Samsung 850 EVO SSD - 500GB. My Mac is a MacBook Pro Mid 2012, model A1278. Best place to put bug reports? What websites or other resources do users of Blender have available to them to report bugs or problems with the program?  I would like to get this issue cleared in Q&amp;A format so that we can link new users with bug-report-style questions to this post. I get Chrome notifications from several websites and they work when I don't even have any tabs open for those sites.  But sometimes I get these Chrome notifications when I am not at my desk or looking at my laptop.  As some of these notifications are useful to me, I would like to be able to access any that I have missed.  Is there a way to view the notification history? Is it possible to experimentally show that observable universe is much larger than ~93B ly? Calculating size of particular area below buffer in QGIS? I have a point shapefile of villages where data was collected in Northern Kenya. I created a buffer around those villages.   The second vector layer contains polygons defining areas according to vegetation type. So for example, a forest might be surrounded by a narrow ring of woodland in an area which is mainly grassland. I'm trying to obtain a percentage of each vegetation type within the buffer per village.   I'm using QGIS 1.7 I'm planning a trip to recover a motorcycle from a distant city. The ideal trip would be flying to that location and coming back riding the bike, but that would require me to transport my riding gear with me in the plane: Leathers, boots, gloves, back protector and crash helmet.  All this is bulky and expensive stuff, and a crash helmet may be damaged if dropped or hit hard.   I don't expect any airline to allow me a crash helmet as hand luggage; and wearing it all the time is out of the question :-)   To complicate things, I would be coming back riding the bike, so any hard suitcase would have to be left behind.   How do people normally transport that kind of stuff? In the comedic music video  there are many clips of vintage scifi films, some of which I recognize.  This one however, of a large blue floating holographic head talking to some kind of military installation does not look at all familiar.  Does anyone recognize this film? UK visa requirement: Residence or citizenship? On gov.uk's  it is indicated      Check if you need this visa if you’re visiting from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland"   “Visiting from” makes you understand that the country you regularly live in is relevant, thus you can avoid applying for a visa if you are visiting from Italy (as country of regular residency).  As a matter of fact, if you proceed to make the check, the question to answer is "What passport or travel document do you have?", not really consistent with the indication previously given.  So, what is relevant: the country you live in with regular documents (and where you leave from to visit UK) or the country of origin which issued the passport?  To be practical, a Moldovan who is an Italian resident with regular resident card and Italian ID card (but with the note "not valid for expatriation") can avoid applying for a visa if he wants to spend a week-end in London (thus visiting from inside EEA)? Should I remove non-significant variables from my regression model 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?
