I am not a native speaker, but I noticed that sometimes people use Bachelor or Bachelor's in some context, although I don't understand the difference:  See for instance also this question   For instance I would call myself a Bachelor student, but do I do my Bachelor's studies or my Bachelor studies?   Actually, I don't understand the difference between Bachelor and Bachelor's and I don't know when to use one or the other. Could anybody help me with that?
The question asks it all really. When referring to a master's degree, do you use an apostrophe or not? That is, is it "a master's" or "a masters"?
Does anyone know the location of this login hotmail background? Mirror Modifier making ugly smoothing on mirrored faces The model is vivisected right down the middle along the z axis. The right leg is rendering funny and I assume if I can get that fixed everything else will fall into place. I tried flipping normals, changing shading types - can't think of anything else to do. I have county data in which the &quot;FIP&quot;s (actually State &quot;FIP&quot;s and County &quot;FIP&quot;s combined). I have data imported as CSV with the sames &quot;FIP&quot;s data titled 'STCounty'. However, the shapefile &quot;FIP&quot;s is listed as a Real and the CSV came in as an Integer and the Join function does not seem to work.  The drop boxes are greyed out/empty. So the bigger questions is how do you change the attribute type in a table? I tried to create a new column in the shapefile (county data) and set it to an integer and then multiply the &quot;FIP&quot;s*1, but got a column full of NULL. I am new to QGIS and have a lot of experience in MapInfo, so the join concept is not new to me, just the syntax in QGIS. Can the problem of unification of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity be converted into a pure Mathematical problem? I mean to say, can you make someone understand the problem who only knows Mathematics, even if a Physics description is absent? I mean, describing the problem with unification using pure Mathematical formulation.  Can we make the problem seem as if it has nothing to do with the real world and describe it only as a problem of mathematics? What is the motivation behind axiomatically forcing the underpinning group of a ring to be abelian? Noncommutative rings are vastly more complex than commutative ones, so I am assuming that allowing the additive operation to be noncommuting would just make matters worse. Is there something deeper here, or is this a restriction for the sake of convenience and simplicity? How do I use dependency injection on \Drupal::moduleHandler() to a Controller? I am using the following line in a controller class.      \Drupal::moduleHandler()-&gt;alter('mymodule_myfunction', $plugin_items);   Pareview.sh is giving me this error message.     \Drupal calls should be avoided in classes, use dependency injection instead.   How should I accomplish this? Do I need to create a constructor, create a method, or a service? If so, what code should the service need? I found an example on  for a case where a service already exists. limit of Holder norms: $\sup\limits_{x\in [a,b]} f(x) = \lim\limits_{n\rightarrow\infty} \left(\int_a^b (f(x))^n \;dx\right)^{\frac{1}{n}}$ Show that $$\sup_{x\in [a,b]} f(x) = \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \left(\int_a^b (f(x))^n \;dx\right)^{\frac{1}{n}}$$ for f continuous and positive on [a,b].  I can show that LHS is greater than or equal to RHS but I can't show the other direction. Why is quantum entanglement considered to be an active link between particles? From everything I've read about quantum mechanics and quantum entanglement phenomena, it's not obvious to me why quantum entanglement is considered to be an active link. That is, it's stated every time that measurement of one particle affects the other.  In my head, there is a less magic explanation: the entangling measurement affects both particles in a way which makes their states identical, though unknown. In this case measuring one particle will reveal information about state of the other, but without a magical instant modification of remote entangled particle.  Obviously, I'm not the only one who had this idea. What are the problems associated with this view, and why is the magic view preferred? Usage of that: There are many reasons [that] I am confident [that] I will excel at this job I always find it hard to see when it's best to use &quot;that&quot;. Which of these sounds best?  There are many reasons I am confident I will excel at this job. There are many reasons that I am confident I will excel at this job. There are many reasons I am confident that I will excel at this job. There are many reasons that I am confident that I will excel at this job.  Are there ways of looking at this that I can apply elsewhere? Is there a completely different formulation that works better? Why is the Java main method static? The method signature of a Java main() method is:  public static void main(String[] args){     ... }   Is there a reason for this method to be static? On every other site on Stack Exchange I can click on the site's title and be taken directly to the questions...     Except Meta.stackexchange.com   Here I actually have to click on the word "Questions" as there is no link active on the Meta title and logo.  Now I agree this isn't a big deal, however as I typically visit stack exchange pages up to a couple of hundred times a day, this one that doesn't fit spoils my flow. I am pretty certain it used to work.  It works for me in Firefox, and Safari on iPad, but even closing and reopening Chrome doesn't fix the issue.  Chrome is on Version 53.0.2785.116 Are if else statement equivalent to logical and && or || and where should I prefer one over the other? I'm learning about decision making structures and I came across these codes:  if [ -f ./myfile ] then      cat ./myfile else      cat /home/user/myfile fi   [ -f ./myfile ] &amp;&amp; cat ./myfile || cat /home/user/myfile   Both of them behave the same. Are there any advantages to using one way from the other? I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10 and found out there is no option to have 2 by 2 workspaces. I was able to configure 4 "static" workspaces using , but I would like to have them in 2 rows by 2. Any ideas? How do I get my Epson Scanner working on Ubuntu 13.10 I have the Epson SX218 with a built-in scanner. The printer works fine but if I want to scan something simple scan says no scanner found.  Any ideas what I can do?  By the way, how can I check the ink level of the printer?? Listing feature classes with active domains? What exactly is heat? Is it energy?  Is it energy per unit volume?  Is it energy per unit time i.e power?  What is it? Windows 7 Aero Snap two windows horizontally As many people already know, there are several ways to trigger Windows 7 Aero Snap feature. A user can either press Win+{Left,Right,Up,Down} to snap the window to the left or right or maximize or restore. One can also drag the title bar to all the corner except bottom one.  However, is there any keyboard or mouse shortcut to place one window on top half the screen, and another window on bottom half the screen? Please do not tell me to use "Show Windows Stacked" because if I have more than two windows, it will place ALL the windows horizontally, which is not what I want. I want to be able to select the window I want and place it automatically either on top or bottom half the screen.  Thanks!  Edit: Thanks for Moab's suggestion, both on recommend WinSplit and updating my question.  I should make it more clear that I'm looking for a software that will do the functions WinSplit provided, but with on screen input, such as touch screen or pen. When should I implement IDisposable? Black body radiation and spectra lines My understanding was that all objects emit light of continuous spectrum when hot ( black body radiation) but then you see discreet wavelengths in spectra lines and I am confused. I know I am making a mistake somewhere but not able to point it Other than the general inductive method,how could we show that $$\sum_{r=0}^n \frac{(-1)^r}{r+1}\binom{n}{r} = \frac1{n+1}$$  Apart from induction, I tried with  to check the validity, but I can't think of an easy (manual) alternative.  Please suggest an intuitive/easy method.
