I joined some data from excel to arcmap, but the added fieldnames from the excel table (land, Germany, field3, field4, ...) aren't the fieldnames which I want to use. For example land=district and Germany has to be 2006. When I only change the alias name, the name removes when I turn my PC off... Is there a way to change them permanently.  I found out that the data was visable at the attribute table, but it was not at the fields in the shapefile properties. By exporting the joined shapefile to a new shapefile this problem is fixed, but the fieldname(s) are still not editable.   I saw you can edit the names at the shapefile properties, but when I change them it gives a "Alter field name Failed" error.  Does somebody know a solution?
How can I change the field names (not the alias) in ArcGIS 10.2? I already found this page on ArcGIS support: &quot;&quot; but there is is not &quot;Defense Mapping&quot; on Customized Mode Categories In my ArcCatalog! Without access to Defense Mapping, how can I change the field names?
What's the difference between the simple past tense and the present perfect? The simple past tense indicates that an activity or situation began   and ended at a particular time in the past.      The present perfect expresses the idea that something happened (or   never happened) before now, at an unspecified time in the past.The   exact time it happened is not important. It also expresses the   repetition of an activity before now. The exact time of each   repetition is not important.   Even though I understand the explanation above, I can't figure out: If the present perfect states the idea that something happened in the past, why not use the simple past?  For example, would you please explain the following sentence to tell the difference between these two tenses?         The plane crashed there.    The plane has crashed there.

Rigid body simulation not interacting with objects that have an array modifier I sometimes have long running processes that I want to kick off before going home, so I create a SSH session to the server to start the process, but then I want to close my laptop and go home and later, after dinner, I want to check on the process that I started before leaving work. How can I do that with SSH? My understanding is that if you break your SSH connection you will also break your login session on the server, therefore killing the long running process. Is there a way to use the covariance matrix to find coefficients for multiple regression? For simple linear regression, the regression coefficient is calculable directly from the variance-covariance matrix $C$, by  $$ C_{d, e}\over C_{e,e} $$ where $d$ is the dependent variable's index, and $e$ is the explanatory variable's index.  If one only has the covariance matrix, is it possible to calculate the coefficients for a model with multiple explanatory variables?   ETA: For two explanatory variables, it appears that $$\beta_1 = \frac{Cov(y,x_1)var(x_2) - Cov(y,x_2)Cov(x_1,x_2)}{var(x_1)var(x_2) - Cov(x_1,x_2)^2} $$ and analogously for $\beta_2$. I'm not immediately seeing how to extend this to three or more variables.

What does this $\asymp$ symbol mean? (subject: analytic number theory) I'm reading a  by Andrew Granville on analytic number theory.  On page 22 of the paper, there appears a strange looking symbol, undefined.  I've circled it in red in the screenshot below.    Since it's not defined in the paper, I'm assuming it must be standard notation.   From the context, I'm assuming it means something like "as compared to", or "with reference to", but that's just a guess.  Can anyone identify the symbol, even better explain what it means and/or provide a reference?  Is there a name to speak the symbol?  Thanks in advance.

"physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512" when formatting USB - How to create a bootable USB without this error I was using:  dd  if=/path/to/my/ubuntuiso/ubuntu.iso  of=/dev/sdb1  bs=4M  &amp;&amp;  sync   In order to create bootable Ubuntu USB drives on older Ubuntu versions. It was working perfectly. Sometimes I used the Startup Disk Creator program, which  worked well.  But when I use the same methods on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I get some warnings while formatting it afterwards.   The installation media works as expected, but when I try to format that USB stick after my work is done, I get the following warning :    The partitioning of that Pendrive looks strange :    And it also shows my 16GB pendrive as 64GB.  After struggling a lot with Gparted, I will somehow format it. But Why is it happening like this ?? Is there any better methods of creating bootable Ubuntu in 16.04 ?  EDIT : there is a related question . But my question is not about how to format it properly. My question is "How to create a bootable USB without that errors." &amp; "Wht are the causes of that error" Suppose $f:(a,b) \to \mathbb{R} $ satisfy $|f(x) - f(y) | \le M |x-y|^\alpha$ for some  $\alpha &gt;1$ and all $x,y \in (a,b) $. Prove that $f$ is constant on $(a,b)$.   I'm not sure which theorem should I look to prove this question. Can you guys give me a bit of hint? First of all how to prove some function $f(x)$ is constant on $(a,b)$? Just show $f'(x) = 0$? Buffering GeoJSON file using Python? I'm trying to perform a simple buffer on GeoJSON file using Python script. I am able to do it on a shapefile using Python script and on GeoJSON using QGIS fix distance buffer tool but I can't figure out how to do it on GeoJSON using Python script. I read many posts on it but none of them include working solely on GeoJSON. I also know that it is possible to convert GeoJSON to .shp but I need to work only with GeoJSON files.  My code that works for .shp file:  from osgeo import ogr  ds = ogr.Open(r'C:\vector files\tryyy.shp', 1) in_lyr = ds.GetLayer() out_lyr = ds.CreateLayer('new_buff44',in_lyr.GetSpatialRef(),ogr.wkbPolygon) out_lyr.CreateFields(in_lyr.schema) out_defn = out_lyr.GetLayerDefn() out_feat = ogr.Feature(out_defn) bufferDist = -0.00015075  for in_feat in in_lyr:      geom = in_feat.geometry()     out_feat.SetGeometry(geom)     for in_feat in in_lyr:          geom = in_feat.geometry().Buffer(bufferDist)         out_feat.SetGeometry(geom)         for i in range(in_feat.GetFieldCount()):             value = in_feat.GetField(i)             out_feat.SetField(i, value)         out_lyr.CreateFeature(out_feat)  del ds print "finish"   When I change the file from shp to geojson in the org.Open line I get:      NoneType' object has no attribute 'CreateFields'   I thought that if I read vector file as OGR datasource object then it doesn't matter which format is the original vector file.
