I want to say that "Feeding from a human doesn't mean killing them" (yes, vampire stuff), but I feel like the them I'm using isn't correct.   But I don't want to use he/she because a human can be either, and I don't want to use it because it sounds weird. What is the best option here?
Is there a pronoun I can use as a gender-neutral pronoun when referring back to a singular noun phrase?  Each student should save his questions until the end. Each student should save her questions until the end.
window.onbeforeunload and window.onunload is not working in Firefox, Safari, Opera? How to record both screen and sound with Quicktime on El Capitan? I'm trying to record both what's happening on screen and the audio being played by the applications. To my surprise, QuickTime did not record the sound. I believe it worked before in previous OS X releases, but that is not something that I use often so I have not bothered to try earlier.  What is the current situation on El Capitan ? Have I messed with something that prevents QuickTime from capturing the sound, or has it never worked ?  Here is my view of Quick Time  / New Screen Recording on a Mac Mini:   On my Macbook Pro, I have the option select None or Internal Microphone. Internal microphone actually records the speakers of the Mac Book as heard from its own microphone, which obviously sounds terrible.  This is a MacMini 7,1 (late 2014) and there is nothing in Input Sources. Interpretation of LASSO regression coefficients I'm currently working on building a predictive model for a binary outcome on a dataset with ~300 variables and 800 observations. I've read much on this site about the problems associated with stepwise regression and why not to use it.  I've been reading into LASSO regression and its ability for feature selection and have been successful in implementing it with the use of the "caret" package and "glmnet".   I am able to extract the coefficient of the model with the optimal lambda and alpha from "caret"; however, I'm unfamiliar with how to interpret the coefficients.    Are the LASSO coefficients interpreted in the same method as logistic regression? Would it be appropriate to use the features selected from LASSO in logistic regression?   EDIT  Interpretation of the coefficients, as in the exponentiated coefficients from the LASSO regression as the log odds for a 1 unit change in the coefficient while holding all other coefficients constant. How would neutron matter appear to the naked eye? Neutron matter is matter comprised entirely of neutrons, as it exists in .  Most optical phenomena encountered in everyday life, such as light reflection and spectral absorption (i.e. color appearance) are the result of mechanisms involving electrons.  My simple question: How would a macroscopic sample of matter consisting entirely of neutrons (without electrons) appear to the naked eye?  Assume the matter is  and stable.  Let me add here that I'm not specifically asking about the appearance of a neutron star, as Wikipedia states that it would radiate so much that it appears white. my 4 week old daughter will not stop crying. We've tried everything from sucking, both on pacifiers and fingers to breastfeeding, white noise, movement, diaper is clean she doesn't seem to have a fever.   We've tried everything we can read about and think of.  We are both a little bit ill, the common cold and the baby may have gotten it and be upset but we are just at the end of our nerves when nothing helps our poor little one!   Does anyone know anything we can do to help? Does the plastic cap on a Presta valve serve any purpose once fitted to a rim? I can see the use of the valve cap on a Presta valve when the tube is still packaged (it obviously stops the valve puncturing the tube), but does it do anything except look pretty (or not) once you've fitted the tube to a rim?  I've kept them on out of habit, because I've had problems with sticking Schrader valves in the past when I've lost the caps and dirt/grime has got in there - but the design of Presta valves suggests to me that they wouldn't suffer this fate.  Given that I really need to , is replacing this cap something I can leave out of my daily chores? "died from" versus "died of" Why can't I say “She died from drinking 18 cans of Coca-Cola”? Instead, the correct sentence would be “She died of drinking 18 cans of Coca-Cola”. Why does that happen? A student of mine has been self-studying some elementary number theory. She came by my office today and asked if I had any hints on how to prove the statement      If $m$ is odd then $\gcd(2^m-1,2^n+1)=1$.    It's been a while since I took number theory and I'm not sure what to do. She said she is learning about congruences, primitive roots, and power residues.  She has not taken any group theory. I am trying to get from a particular point more informations about the surroundings (which are also points).

Edit: I'm running the standard desktop version of Ubuntu 17.10 How to prevent a coauthor from stealing the article? Please go through the following incidents to understand the problem.  Mr. A is a Ph.D. student of some institute who was working with Prof. B of another institute on a very interesting mathematical problem since last three years. Recently, they came across a significant solution to it. They wrote a research article to publish in a very good mathematics journal that accepts the online submission.  Prof. B wanted to submit it to the journal by himself. Mr. A agreed.   A few days ago, Mr. A wanted to know about the submission of their article via telephone. Prof. B informed that the article is submitted. But, Mr. A received any confirmation e-mail neither from the journal nor Prof. B forwarded the submission mail to him. Prof. B did not upload it in arXiv, which is a free preprint repository.  Mathematics journals used to take a long duration to review and publish an article. Prof. B told that submitting this article to arXiv will immediately attract community attention. Many researchers will start working in the new direction. As a result, Mr. A and Prof. B may lose their opportunity to work on that problems. Also, the article may be stolen.  Mr. A did not ask Prof. B to forward the submission confirmation mail to him. Prof. might think that Mr. A is suspecting him. It may affect the relationship. Also, Prof. is a very powerful person in the administration, who may prevent an opportunity for Mr. A to gain a job. Again from some of his friends, Mr. A came to know that Prof. had distributed related research problems to his collaborators.  As a consequence, Mr. A is thinking that Prof. has submitted this work in his own name and he has lost his credit as the first author of this article.  Now the question is: How Mr. A may save his credit and his work without hampering his relationship with Prof B? Show that the ring of all rational numbers, which when written in simplest form has an odd denominator, is a principal ideal domain. Show that the ring of all rational numbers $m/n$ with $n$ an odd integer is a principal ideal domain.  We haven't really discussed principal ideal domains. I've heard that this is easy, but I just lack the basic knowledge of what a principal ideal domain is. Infinite algebraic extension of a finite field I have recently started studying algebraic field extensions and I got to know that algebraic closures $\overline{F}$ of finite fields $F$ are infinite. Therefore, I've asked myself the following question and couldn't come up with an answer.  Suppose $F$ was a finite field, i.e. $|F| &lt; \infty$. Is it possible to construct an algebraic extension $F'$ of $F$ sucht that $|F'| = \infty$ and $F' \subsetneq \overline{F}$? Meaning, that $F'$ is not algebraically closed.

At the moment I have two 1GB RAM modules and two 2GB RAM modules. Everything is working fine.   Can I buy one 4GB module and put it instead of the 1GB module?  Another question, can I mix MHz values, like that I have two 667MHz modules and two 1066MHz modules? Is this dangerous for the comp? Help needed in understanding proof: Every odd prime $p$ has exactly $(p-1)/2$ quadratic residues and $(p-1)/2$ quadratic nonresidues. Help needed in understanding proof: Every odd prime $p$ has exactly $(p-1)/2$ quadratic residues and $(p-1)/2$ quadratic nonresidues.   We assume there exist $k$ incongruent quadratic residues and each yield two solutions of the equation $x^2 \equiv a (\mod p)$. Also each of these solutions are incongruent, right ? So we have $2k$ solutions to quadratic congruences.  Then there are $p-1$ squares of the least residues, $1$ through $p-1$. But these need not be incongruent (consider $p = 7$ and $1^2, 6^2$). Then $2k = p-1$, why ?  Could someone explain to me in details what the reasoning is ?
