Can we use "a" after "many"? What does it mean, then?  Example:     Every living thing (and perhaps many a dead one as well) pays heed to that call.
Can someone please elucidate the difference between "many" and "many a"? In what context of usage should we add an extra "a" beside the word "many"?  For example:         Many times, I had seen that . . . .   Many a times, I had seen that . . . .      I do not know if the example is accurate enough to support my question, but I would like to know the difference between how they are used.
How to make Latexmk use makeglossaries? If I have Optimize iPhone Storage enabled on my iPhone and my phone storage is completely full, I understand that iOS will only store a low-res thumbnail of many of my photos on the device. (The full high-res version of the image will only exist in iCloud and on devices with Download and Keep Originals enabled.)  But when only thumbnails exist on the device, how does that work in relation to other photo apps on iOS? For example, do third-party cloud-based photo apps (like Google Photos, Dropbox's Carousel, or Amazon Prime Photos) have access to the full high-res images from the iCloud Photo Library? Or will they only see the low-res thumbnails in some cases? How many nonnegative integer solutions are there to the pair of equations  \begin{align}x_1+x_2+\dots +x_6&amp;=20  \\ x_1+x_2+x_3&amp;=7\end{align}  How do you find  non-negative integer solutions? I recently upgraded from blender 2.81 to 2.82a, and I've immediately noticed a problem. Blender is not rendering HDRI images like it used to. You used to be able to plug an HDRI image into the background node, and into the world output. However when I do this now, in Eevee or Cycles, it renders what can be described as "as solid color" version of the HDRI instead of the actual HDRI image.   Here are some images to show as examples, each has a difernt HDRI, one is in Eevee, one is in Cycles. Is this a new "feature" of 2.82 or is this a bug? Thanks. How run a .jar file with a double-click? I have a problem running .jar files by double-clicking them. When I go to the Properties dialogue I can't find Java--only Archive Manager in the list of programs. But java -jar somefile.jar opens the program. How can there be animals on the surface in Zion's world? It is apparently canon that  in Neo's day.  However, in the first movie, The Matrix, Morpheus tells Neo that one of the things known for certain is that humans "burned the sky" in order to deny solar engery to the machines, which in turn led to the humans who survived the War being plugged into the Matrix to provide bioelectric energy to supply the machines.  If there's not enough sunlight for solar power, how can there be enough to grow plants to serve as food for animals?  Low levels I can understand -- house plants, at least, thrive in conditions too dim for solar panels to produce cost-effective power -- but every surface scene we see in the trilogy is as dark as a cloudy night; light coming only from the machines.  That wouldn't begin to support photosynthesis, which means all animal life would starve in, at most, a matter of a few years. Touching the front wheel with my foot when turning Origin of the meaning of joe Reading the target of a .lnk file in Python? I'm trying to read the target file/directory of a shortcut (.lnk) file from Python. Is there a headache-free way to do it? The  is way over my head. I don't mind using Windows-only APIs.  My ultimate goal is to find the "(My) Videos" folder on Windows XP and Vista. On XP, by default, it's at %HOMEPATH%\My Documents\My Videos, and on Vista it's %HOMEPATH%\Videos. However, the user can relocate this folder. In the case, the %HOMEPATH%\Videos folder ceases to exists and is replaced by %HOMEPATH%\Videos.lnk which points to the new "My Videos" folder. And I want its absolute location. Proof concerning Stirling numbers of the first kind How do I show that   $${ n\brack 2} = \frac{n!}{2} \sum_{m=1}^{n-1} \frac{1}{m(n-m)}$$  using a combinatorial argument?  My definition of ${n \brack 2}$ is "the number of elements of $S_n$ which can be decomposed as the product of exactly $2$ disjoint cycles". I have an excel file with 2 attribute columns, 1-feature info 2-Number of color (RGB) that the current feature should be symbolize. This file file can be joined with the layer using the "feature info" field which is unique (join by attribute table). So i have as attribute the color number attribute for every polygon feature.  How can  i use this this information to symbolize every feature with their attributed color already imported from the excel sheet? Pros & cons of buying gold directly vs. investing in a gold ETF like GLD, IAU, SGOL? Lower Semicontinuity Concepts In Magic, at the start of the game, you draw 7 cards. How would you calculate the likelihood of drawing a specific card in your opening hand?  For example, let's say I have a 60 card deck, and I'm running 4 . What is the percent chance that I will have at least one Bird in my opening hand? I masked an image in the UV/Image editor masking section. I then used that mask in the compositor for background replacement. However, the mask size seems to be different. Why is that? Here's a screenshot: C# Unsafe/Fixed Code Can I connect to SQL Server using Windows Authentication from Java EE webapp? I am currently investigating how to make a connection to a SQL Server database from my Java EE web application using Windows Authentication instead of SQL Server authentication. I am running this app off of Tomcat 6.0, and am utilizing the Microsoft JDBC driver. My connection properties file looks as follows:  dbDriver              = com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver dbUser                = user dbPass                = password dbServer              = localhost:1433;databaseName=testDb dbUrl                 = jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433   I have zero problems with connecting to a SQL Server database in this fashion when using SQL Server authentication.  Is there any way I can retrieve the credentials of the user's Windows Authentication and use that authentication for SQL Server?  UPDATE: I know in ASP.net there is a way to set up Windows Authentication for access to the webapp, which is exactly what I am looking for, except I want to pass that token off to SQL Server for access to the database. Is there a known well ordering of the reals? So, from what I understand, the axiom of choice is equivalent to the claim that every set can be . A set is well ordered by a relation, $R$ , if every subset has a least element. My question is: Has anyone constructed a well ordering on the reals?  First, I was going to ask this question about the rationals, but then I realised that if you pick your favourite bijection between rationals and the integers, this determines a well ordering on the rationals through the natural well order on $\mathbb{Z}$ . So it's not the denseness of the reals that makes it hard to well order them. So is it just the size of $\mathbb{R}$ that makes it difficult to find a well order for it? Why should that be?  To reiterate:   Is there a known well order on the Reals? If there is, does a similar construction work for larger cardinalities? Is there a largest cardinality for which the construction works?
