The space indicated by the rectangle below is empty and could be used for the text itself. I realize that I can reduce it by setting lesser sidebar width left, but I would like the titles of block to be long.    For this reason, I tried to create a custom box \blockbox that will be by default equal to the width of sidebar width left less 3mm. However, the output above shows that the box is indeed has nearly the same width of the but is misaligned. Thus, one possible solution is to simply shift this box in the environment definition, but I do not know how to do this.  A more optimal solution is to redefine the width available for block title which is approximately 3.5cm  \documentclass[aspectratio=169, xcolor={x11names}]{beamer}   \usecolortheme{crane}  \usefonttheme{structurebold}  \useinnertheme{inmargin}  \useoutertheme[]{split}      \setbeamersize{text margin left=2mm, text margin right=2mm}      \newlength{\sidebarWidth}     \setlength{\sidebarWidth}{5cm}       \setbeamersize{sidebar width left=\sidebarWidth, sidebar width right=0cm}      \newlength{\blockboxwidth}     \setlength{\blockboxwidth}{\sidebarWidth}     \addtolength{\blockboxwidth}{-3mm}     \newcommand{\blockbox}[2][\blockboxwidth]{         \frame{\parbox{#1}{\raggedleft #2}}                                              }  \begin{document}  \begin{frame}{Showing Contents Gradually}      \begin{block}{Why is induction motor very common}         Induction motors are very practical for the following reasons          \begin{description}[&lt;+-&gt;]             \item[Rigid] Rigid             \item[Cheap] Cheap             \item[Low Maintenance] Low Maintenance             \item[Self-Starting] Self-starting             \item[No Excitation Needed] No Excitation Needed         \end{description}      \end{block}      \begin{block}{\blockbox{Why is induction motor very common} Why is induction motor very common}          Induction motors are very practical for the following reasons          \begin{description}[&lt;+-&gt;]             \item[Rigid] Rigid             \item[Cheap] Cheap             \item[Low Maintenance] Low Maintenance             \item[Self-Starting] Self-starting             \item[No Excitation Needed] No Excitation Needed         \end{description}      \end{block}  \end{frame}  \end{document}

Not to Mention ≈ [Let Alone ≈ Much Less ≈ Still Less] For brevity, I symbolise synonymity with ≈.  So  X ≈ Y  means  X and Y are synonyms.  From : let alone ≈ not to mention  From :  let alone ≈ much less ≈ still less.  Are these all synonyms? What are the similarities and differences between each? Why don't self-closing script elements work?

Cross product: matrix transformation identity How can one prove the following identity of the cross product?  $$(M a)\times (M b)=\det(M) (M^{\rm T})^{-1}(a\times b)$$  $a$ and $b$ are 3-vectors, and $M$ is an invertible real $3 \times 3$ matrix. How to reduce VM size? In which US accent is “again” pronounced /əˈɡeɪn/ with the FACE vowel, not /əˈɡɛn/ with the DRESS vowel? Most dictionaries provide the US pronunciation of “again” as /əˈɡɛn/ (uh-gen) with the DRESS vowel. This is the most common pronunciation in the USA. However, I think I might have also come across /əˈɡeɪn/ (uh-gain) with the FACE vowel. This sounds like the word “gain” with an “a” at the beginning. Is there a US accent where “again” is pronounced this way? Get selected element's outer HTML How can I install Windows software or games? 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.*' Redirect stdout over ssh I would like to run  something &gt; file   on a remote system through ssh, but if I run  ssh host something &gt; file   the redirection is executed locally as ssh etc &gt; file  I've tried it with ' or '' or dd or with a pipe | instead, but I can't get it to work. How can this be done? I studied the theoretical part about the Gravitational waves in General Relativity (linearization of gravity and small perturbations of the metric and so on).  But I was wondering about: since electromagnetic radiation is composed/carried by Photons (or better:the EM force), shall gravitational waves be composed/carried by Gravitons?   In the end:do gravitational waves imply the existence of gravitons? Or it's something unrelated and off topic? Series where the planet’s air is really polluted and there is a portal to take you to a world where the air is clean The movie was released in the last 15 years, probably between 2008-2018. &quot;Pre-movie&quot; (like what happens before the main part of the movie begins):  The movie was in the future. The people have to wear gas masks to go outside because the air is so polluted. airpollution smog 2 child policy they had 3 kids the guy goes to prison There is some sort of transportation portal that brings some important people 85mio years in the past on another timeline The guy runs to the portal and gets there with his entire family  &quot;Main movie&quot; (most of the movie):  The guy is on this new planet and I think he gets imprisoned. The people built a camp with walls because there are dinosaurs that can easily kill people. Then a few other things happen I don't clearly remember. I think there is also some sort of love story. Then the dinosaurs attack the camp and they have to defend it. Blocking web sites with Windows Firewall Is it possible to use Windows Firewall to block specific web sites for all browsers? I am new to Linux and Ubuntu. When I don't know how to do something with this OS I search on the web and Ask Ubuntu and always find the answer.  But sometimes it's not a great answer nor complete tutorial. I follow the instructions anyway, but I don't know what all the commands mean.  So my question is:   When I follow a tutorial, am I 100% safe? If not, then how can I tell I am in danger? Nice looking progress bar in java I'd like to map an int value pbs_errno declared as a global in the library libtorque.so using ctypes.  Currently I can load the library like so:  from ctypes import * libtorque = CDLL("libtorque.so")   and have successfully mapped a bunch of the functions. However, for error checking purposes many of them set the pbs_errno variable so I need access to that as well. However if I try to access it I get:  &gt;&gt;&gt; pytorque.libtorque.pbs_errno &lt;_FuncPtr object at 0x9fc690&gt;   Of course, it's not a function pointer and attempting to call it results in a seg fault.  It's declared as int pbs_errno; in the main header and extern int pbs_errno; in the API header files.  Objdump shows the symbol as:  00000000001294f8 g    DO .bss   0000000000000004  Base        pbs_errno How many physical degrees of freedom does the $\mathrm{SU(N)}$ Yang-Mills theory have? Why does the introduced part-title in letter appear twice? How do I extract all the external links of a web page and save them to a file? Identify a book with a social engineering theme I originally read this book in the mid- to late '70s.   The premise was a bureaucracy whose job it was to manipulate events in human history by making the smallest possible change that would effect the desired outcome. Not time cops in the sense of going after law breakers.  The intent was to maintain a policy of non-interference as much as possible but when interference was warranted then to make the least possible change and to do so invisibly.  For example, they might take someone's keys off the dresser and put them just out of sight underneath the dresser where they plausibly might have fallen.  The subject would never know of the manipulation but would then be delayed getting out of the house and the ripples grew from there to avert a war or otherwise affect events on a large scale.  After reading that, whenever I would lose something - especially in an improbable way such as dropping a screw at my feet and then finding it on the other side of the room half an hour later - I would take some consolation in the thought that I had just averted some global catastrophe.  I was pretty scatterbrained as a kid (we call that ADHD nowadays) so I experienced this a lot.  Given that I've spent so much time pondering the ideas from the book, I'd love to re-read it.
