Two trips on a multiple-entry Schengen visa for a 30-day stay I have obtained a multiple-entry  Schengen visa for Italy from 9 August to 22 September, 30 day-stay. I'm going on a holiday to Rome from 10-16 August and returning back to Dubai.  Can I use the same visa to travel to Portugal from 12 to 16 September?  Total duration for both trips is less than 15 days.
Does a multiple-entry Schengen visa allow visiting other Schengen countries later, without going via the issuing country? My wife was just issued a multiple entry visa by France, which is good for one year.  Our first trip will be to France, the issuing country.  My question is: after we leave the EU and return, must future trips also start in France? Or may we go directly to (say) Greece from the US on a later visit?
Why do I have to use \par if I change font size withing a group scope? What is the best regular expression to check if a string is a valid URL? Right-hand sidebar covers the footer on the "ask question" page and markdown help page I have noticed that while asking questions and scrolling to the bottom of the page, the right sidebar containing recent questions covers the footer partially. Also, a part of it goes beyond the browser's boundary. It may not be a big problem but it still doesn't look good.    This also happens on the  page I thought I'd post this as it illustrates a problem often encountered on ELU.     In structures such as 'football manager', is 'football' a modifier or   a complement of the head noun?   I've seen both terms used as if there were only one possible correct answer. However, I've come across widely differing definitions of both 'modify' and 'complement' as used in grammar. I believe that people stating baldly that this is either one or the other are assuming a grammar that they prefer, rather than giving a balanced overview.  Notice that I intend this question to explore the usage/s of the term 'modify' and of the term 'complement' in this context. There may be overlap with the question of which word-class 'football' fits into, but that decision hardly answers the question. Want to fill line with repeating string Similar to the \dotfill command, but with your own text, rather than dots.  If the string was: kitty!  The entire line would look like the following: kitty!kitty!kitty!kitty!kitty!kitty!kitty!kitty!kitty!  Is there any way to do this? Javascript get date in format How does the Comma Operator work Are "pushforward" and "pullback by zero section" of diffrentials isomorphic in elliptic curves? Let S be a scheme, $p:E\rightarrow S$ be an elliptic curve with zero section $e:S\rightarrow E$. My question is: Are $p_*(\Omega_{E/S}^1)$ and $e^*(\Omega_{E/S}^1)$ isomorphic? I think it's right because I saw both definitions in different notes and they seem to represent the same thing. Thank you! This is a  about securing public DNS resolvers   Open DNS servers seem pretty neat and convenient, as they provide IP addresses that we can use consistently across our company regardless of where they are located. Google and OpenDNS provide this functionality, but I'm not sure that I want these companies to have access to our DNS queries.  I want to set up something like this for use by our company, but I hear a lot about this being dangerous practice (particularly in regards to ) and I want to make sure that we do this right. What things do I need to keep in mind when building this type of environment? What prevents investors from buying high yield stocks and selling them as soon as their dividend is paid out? What prevents investors from buying high yield stocks and selling them as soon as their dividend is paid out?   I guess I am confused: If you know the yield and when the dividend will be paid out, why not buy a share an instant before the dividend is paid out and then sell it?  Do you have to have held the share for some amount of time to get the dividend? Is there too much volatility in the instant the dividend is paid out? Sole survivor of attack on mining vessel, abandoned by his employer, has ability to teleport There's a story my grandpa use to tell me when I was younger, about the sole survivor of of an attack on a mining vessel in space. The man lives in space for months/years, ignored by the company he worked for and never rescued. Then when he thinks he is being rescued, it's actually another set of raiders who attack him and kidnap him.  He then wakes up in captivity in some sort of prison inside of an asteroid, and has a word tattooed on his forehead. My grandpa called him Ronin (that's what the tattoo on his forehead said) but I don't know what the character's real name is. Anyways, he learns that he has the ability to teleport after having a brush with death and decides to make his way back to Earth so that he can exact revenge on the mining company who abandoned him and left him floating to die.  Does anyone know what this story or book may be? My grandpa told it to me when I was little, he said that he got it from a book he use to love reading when he was younger. I'm assuming the book is very old (possibly pre 1940's as he was born in the 20s). I can't ask him as he is no longer alive. I'm also unsure as to whether or not all the details in the story he told me, are the same as in the original. Take the function  $$ \begin{cases}f(x,y)=(x^2+y^2)/\sin(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}) &amp; \text{when } 0&lt;\lvert (x,y)\rvert&lt;\pi\\   0 &amp; \text{when } (x,y)=(0,0) \end{cases}$$  I got that this function is differentiable at $(0,0)$. I calculated the partial derivatives at $(0,0)$ of which both were $0$ and trying to show the definition of differentiability is not satisfied but I keep getting that it is. Plz help. Rename All Files with a Certain Name I'm trying to find certain files with the name "stringx" and replace the name (but not the extension) with "stringy". So basically for stringx.txt and stingx.cs, I'd want stringy.txt and stringy.cs. I've attempted to test my rename command regex using following, but it returns no results:  rename -n 'stringx./s/\*$stringy./\/' stringx.*   I'm running csh under Centos. I can see that my regex is probably not correct, but I can't see any results to verify this. I can see that there are files that are named stringx. with the following:  find ./ -name 'stringx.*' Why XML-Serializable class need a parameterless constructor I'm writing code to do Xml serialization. With below function.  public static string SerializeToXml(object obj) {     XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());     using (StringWriter writer = new StringWriter())     {         serializer.Serialize(writer, obj);         return writer.ToString();     } }   If the argument is a instance of class without parameterless constructor, it will throw a exception.     Unhandled Exception:   System.InvalidOperationException:   CSharpConsole.Foo cannot be serialized   because it does not have a   parameterless constructor.    at   System.Xml.Serialization.TypeDesc.CheckSupported()   at   System.Xml.Serialization.TypeScope.GetTypeDesc(Type   type, MemberInfo sourc e, Boolean   directReference, Boolean throwOnError)   at   System.Xml.Serialization.ModelScope.GetTypeModel(Type   type, Boolean direct Reference)    at   System.Xml.Serialization.XmlReflectionImporter.ImportTypeMapping(Type   type , XmlRootAttribute root, String   defaultNamespace)    at   System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer..ctor(Type   type, String defaultName space)    at   System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer..ctor(Type   type)   Why must there be a parameterless constructor in order to allow xml serialization to succeed?  EDIT: thanks for cfeduke's answer. The parameterless constructor can be private or internal. Is it possible to run Drush without root? I run a Linux server that is administered by a friend of mine, and at the moment I work with Filezilla.  I've heard that Drush is a trivial installation: it seems to require no configuration and work out of the box.   However, it looks for configuration in several places:     Drush installation directory,  the home directory (as .drushrc.php),    root directory of a Drupal installation, and  site directory of a   Drupal installation.  Since the configuration files are just PHP   scripts, they can  contain any PHP code that you would like to have   executed on startup of Drush.  one could for instance call ini_set()   to set the value of a PHP configuration option.   and the configuration file /opt/drush/drushrc.php with following content:    # Allow Drush to use 128 MB of memory. Use -1 for no limit. ini_set('memory_limit', '128M');   I see this is necessary because PHP's default is too low, but I'm not sure if I need higher-level privileges because of it.  Do I have to have root-level permissions on the server, or am I able to work with Drush without them?   Update:  As far as i understand this, i only have to ask my admin to get some more privileges (permissions)Note according to BetaRides answer i need to have more than only the access-data that the FileZilla needs - that are provided for the filezilla! Guess so - but i don not need root-permissions.  btw - i have secure-shell-access (ssh2 access) guess that this is enough -With that i can setup a sftp-connection to the server with filezilla just lemme know - if i can use the exactly same data for the shell access (with the command line tool=?!= I was asked this question during an interview for a trading position with a proprietary trading firm. I would very much like to know the answer to this question and the intuition behind it.  Amoeba Question:  A population of amoebas starts with 1. After 1 period that amoeba can divide into 1, 2, 3, or 0 (it can die) with equal probability. What is the probability that the entire population dies out eventually? How to add multiple relative hyperlinks to single point in ArcGIS for Desktop with Basic level license? According to general relativity, inertial mass and gravitational mass are the same, and all accelerated reference frames (such as a uniformly rotating reference frame with its proper time dilation) are physically equivalent to a gravitational field of the same strength.  Refer: Einstein's thought experiment of a Physicist in an Accelerated Box.  I find that the 'How' part of this question is somewhat easy to understand Mathematically but hard to visualize physically and on the 'Why' part I am totally blank. Density of Solid States of Compounds One of the wonderful properties of water (as my high school biology teacher would say) is that in its solid form, it is lighter than its liquid form. This means that when temperatures drop below 0 degrees Celsius, the top layer of water on, say, a lake freezes first. This works out pretty well for any fish or other aquatic creatures living underneath, because the lower layers of water will not freeze.  I know that this is an exception to the general rule of solid and liquid states: A given substance, when transformed into its solid state, will generally sink in a container of its liquid state. My question is this: What other substances are exceptions to this rule (if any?). What features do they share with water that are responsible for this? How to create a chrome texture? Is it possible to get that typical chrome-like angled look using the Shader Editor? I see a lot of tutorials making chrome on all types of surfaces but not on a knob geometry like the one in the following image:  Q: Is there any way to get that chrome-like surface appearance procedurally or should I just use a texture to fake it?
