When I run date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S" I receive 20171225203309 here in CET time zone.   Can I use date to obtain a the current time in the same format, but for timezone GMT?
I have a server running with the timezone set to UTC. It seemed like that was generally a good practice (please correct me if I'm wrong).  Anyhow, one of the servers I connect to, in order to scp files, is running on EDT and stores files that I need to copy in the format /path/to/filename/data20120913  I looked at trying to rsync files using something like find's -mtime -1 flag for files modified in the last day, but I didn't have any luck.  I don't mind just using scp to copy the current day's file, but as of right now there is a 4-hour window where running date +%Y%m%d will give a different day on each server and that bugs me a little.  Looking through man date I see that I can have the time output as UTC, but I don't see a way to have it output as another timezone like EDT  I suppose I could also use something like the GNU date extension date -d 20100909 +%s to get the date in seconds from the epoch, apply a manual 4 * 60 * 60 second calculation, and see about rendering that as a date - but then when daylight time kicks in it will still be an hour off.  Is there a simpler way to output the date in a YYYYMMDD format for EDT on a server that is set to UTC ?

Currently when I execute the date command from bash I get the following displayed  Thu May 17 12:21:00 IST 2012  Below is my timezone config based on executing dpkg-reconfigure tzdata     Current default time zone: 'Europe/Dublin'   Local time is now: Thu May 17 12:32:52 IST 2012.

Prove $(a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2)\ge (ac+bd)^2$ for all $a,b,c,d\in\mathbb{R}$.  So $(a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2) = a^2c^2+a^2d^2+b^2c^2+b^2d^2$  and $(ac+bd)^2 = a^2c^2+2acbd+b^2d^2$  So the problem is reduced to proving that $a^2d^2+b^2c^2\ge2acbd$ but I am not sure how to show that Is there evidence that adding salt to water prior to boiling can damage a stainless steel pan? Jointly Complete Sufficient Statistics: Uniform(a, b) Let $\mathbf{X}= (x_1, x_2, \dots x_n)$ be a random sample from the uniform distribution on $(a,b)$, where $a &lt; b$.   Let $Y_1$ and $Y_n$ be the largest and smallest order statistics.  Show that the statistic $(Y_1, Y_n)$ is a jointly complete sufficient statistic for the parameter $\theta  = (a, b)$.     It is no problem for me to show sufficiency using factorization.   Question: How do I show completeness? Preferably I would like a hint.    Attempt: I can show $\mathbb E[g(T(x))] = 0$ implies $g(T(x)) = 0$ for the one parameter uniform distribution, but I am getting stuck on the two parameter uniform distribution.   I tried playing around with $\mathbb E[g(Y_1, Y_n)]$ and using the joint distribution of $Y_1$ and $Y_n$, but I am not sure if I am going in the correct direction, as the calculus is tripping me up. Let $b>0.$ Evaluate $\lim_{n \to \infty} \int^{b}_{0} \frac{\sin nx}{nx}dx$ I'm stumped at the last part of this problem. Could anyone advise, please? Thank you.  Here is  my  proof.   Define  $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ by $$ f(x) = \left\{\begin{aligned} &amp;\frac{\sin nx}{nx}&amp;&amp;, x \neq0 \\ &amp;1 &amp;&amp;, x=0 \end{aligned} \right.$$   Hence, $$f(x) = \sum^{\infty}_{k=0}(-1)^k\frac{(nx)^{2k}}{(2k+1)!} , \forall x \in \mathbb{R} \mbox{ and } f \in {\mathscr R[0,b]}.$$  $$\int^{b}_{0} \frac{\sin nx}{nx}dx = \int^{b}_{0}f(x)dx=\sum^{\infty}_{k=0}\int^{b}_{0}(-1)^k\frac{(nx)^{2k}}{(2k+1)!}dx= \sum^{\infty}_{n=0}(-1)^k\frac{(n)^{2k}b^{2k+1}}{(2k+1)(2k+1)!}$$  $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum^{\infty}_{k=0}(-1)^k\frac{(n)^{2k}b^{2k+1}}{(2k+1)(2k+1)!}=  ?$$ Many sysv init scripts used a corresponding file in /etc/default to allow the administrator to configure it.

I tried GNOME power management but did not find it useful. The official deck construction rules for Commander (nee EDH) at  say that 'A card's colour identity is its colour plus the colour of any mana symbols in the card's rules text.'  How does this apply to dual-faced cards with faces of different colors, such as  out of Innistrad or  from Dark Ascension, where the color of the transformed face of the card is different from the color of the 'main face'?  The spirit of the rules would seem to suggest that these cards are the colors of both faces for deck construction purposes, but not only are these spells always cast as the front face, the front face is the only one 'seen' in other game zones: for instance, when the card's in the library, you could find Elbrus by searching your library for an artifact, but you couldn't find Withengar Unbound by searching your library for a creature card.  Could Elbrus then, for instance, be played in any Commander deck, or just one with a (partly) Black general? getResourceAsStream() is always returning null Who knows about the summation of this series: $$\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}i^m $$  where $m$ is constant and $m\in \mathbb{N}$?  thanks Where does YouTube's offline feature store video files?
