Copied all my local notes to Apple's iCloud notes.  It's been a few days and they haven't indexed yet.  I found if I edit a notes file then it gets indexed.  I don't want to edit all my notes apps as they maintain the date of last usage.  How can I force an index of all the Apple notes?
I am using my notes app on OSX 10.11.5 and iOS 8. For the most part, things are working, but I am noticing that many of my older notes are not searchable. When I type something in the search box, these older notes do not appear in search results even if there is a match. However, if I edit a note or create a new one, it is fully searchable.  My guess is that somehow the search indexes for my notes got corrupted. Is there any way to fix this or rebuild the indexes?
General Information about Eigenvalues for an 3x3 symmetric matrix How do we find general information about the eigenvalues of an arbitrary 3x3 symmetric matrix without resorting to explicitly computing the solutions to the cubic characteristic equation?:  \begin{bmatrix}     a   &amp; b &amp; c  \\     b    &amp; d &amp; e \\     c &amp; e &amp;f \end{bmatrix}  (In this case the sum and product of the eigenvalues, and the sum of the reciprocals of the eigenvalues.) Since diagonalization preserves the trace and determinant of matrices, would it be best to just find the corresponding diagonal matrix and read off the sum and product of the eigenvalues from there? The problem is I can't think of a way to diagonalize a matrix without explicitly computing the eigenvalues. Is there any scrappable junk I should hold on to that could otherwise be used for other purposes? What is the difference between would and will in the following examples?

I have to rename a complete folder tree recursively so that no uppercase letter appears anywhere (it's C++ source code, but that shouldn't matter).  Bonus points for ignoring CVS and Subversion version control files/folders. The preferred way would be a shell script, since a shell should be available on any Linux box.  There were some valid arguments about details of the file renaming.   I think files with the same lowercase names should be overwritten; it's the user's problem. When checked out on a case-ignoring file system, it would overwrite the first one with the latter, too. I would consider A-Z characters and transform them to a-z, everything else is just calling for problems (at least with source code). The script would be needed to run a build on a Linux system, so I think changes to CVS or Subversion version control files should be omitted. After all, it's just a scratch checkout. Maybe an "export" is more appropriate. is "I'll" correct as a short answer? Stored Procedures, MySQL and PHP The question is a fairly open one. I've been using Stored Procs with MS SQLServer for some time with classic ASP and ASP.net and love them, lots.  I have a small hobby project I'm working on and for various reasons have gone the LAMP route. Any hints/tricks/traps or good starting points to get into using stored procedures with MySQL and PHP5? My version of MySQL supports Stored Procedures. I have the following code for a Figure with 4 subfigures:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{caption} \usepackage{subcaption}  \begin{document}  \begin{figure}[b]     \centering     \begin{subfigure}[b]{\textwidth}         \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{./plots/arm1.pdf}         \subcaption{$Q^{*}$ values for arm 1}         \label{fig:arm1}     \end{subfigure}     ~     \begin{subfigure}[b]{\textwidth}         \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{./plots/arm2.pdf}         \subcaption{$Q^{*}$ values for arm 2}         \label{fig:arm2}     \end{subfigure}      ~     \begin{subfigure}[b]{\textwidth}         \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{./plots/arm3.pdf}         \subcaption{$Q^{*}$ values for arm 3}         \label{fig:arm3}     \end{subfigure}      ~     \begin{subfigure}[b]{\textwidth}         \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{./plots/arm4.pdf}         \subcaption{$Q^{*}$ values for arm 4}         \label{fig:arm4}     \end{subfigure}      \caption{$Q^{*}$ values for different arms}     \label{fig:arms} \end{figure}  \end{document}   This results in   But this way, the 4 subfigures are too large to fit on 1 page.

As someone supervising postgrad students, I wonder what is the best way to train these students to write high-quality research papers?    The best way seems to be through coauthorship but ...  On the one hand I can be hands-off and rather give them feedback as best as I can but let them do most of the work themselves, sort of like a "sink or swim" strategy.  On the other hand I can be hands-on and rewrite the paper (or large parts of it) and hope that they learn from the example I give.  On the one hand I want them to learn to write papers without me some day and I want them to learn as quickly as possible to take load off me.  On the other hand I want us to publish in the best place possible with as little stress as possible.  On the one hand I want them to see the peer review comments from what they themselves have written.  On the other hand I do not want them to be discouraged by the peer review system early on and do not want to submit papers I know we could have written better.  On the one hand I want them to get confidence by being published and presenting work at good venues.  On the other hand I wonder if they need to get there themselves to get that confidence boost.    At the moment I'm very hands on. There's a few factors for this: I don't like submitting papers that are not up to a certain standard, I'm a native English speaker in a non-English speaking country with non-native speaking students, publications are a high priority for me, etc.  But recently a friend/colleague warned me that I should not be so hands-on with the writing of the papers of my students. He pointed to recently graduated researchers in my area that published good work as students but who struggled after leaving their PhD supervisor saying their supervisor did them no favours in the long term ... that by being so hands on, while the students have success getting published and so forth with me, I'm not really doing the most important thing a good supervisor should do: making myself obsolete.    My question is how to train students to write good research papers and in what ways can I balance being hands-on and hands-off?  I'm also interested in methods not directly involving coauthorship. Keyboard shortcut for switching between different keyboard layouts in Ubuntu Mate Is there a pre-assigned keyboard shortcut for switching between different keyboard layouts in Ubuntu Mate? Find out BIOS Version from Windows Pretty tricky cmd Firstly, this is a homework problem so please do not just give an answer away. Hints and suggestions are really all I'm looking for.  I must prove the following using mathematical induction:     For all $n\in\mathbb{Z^+}$, $1+2+2^2+2^3+\cdots+2^n=2^{n+1}-1$.   This is what I have in my proof so far:     Proof: Let $p\left(n\right)$ be $\sum_{j=0}^n 2^j=1+2+2^2+\cdots+2^n=2^{n+1}-1$. Then $P\left(0\right)$ is    \begin{align} \sum\limits_{j=0}^0 2^j=1=2^1-1.\tag{1} \end{align} Hence    $P\left(0\right)$ is true. Next, for some $k\in\mathbb{Z^+}$, assume    $P\left(k\right)$ is true. Then \begin{align}  \sum\limits_{j=0}^{k+1}2^j&amp;=\left(\sum\limits_{j=0}^k  2^j\right)+2^{k+1}\tag{2}\\ &amp;=2^{k+1}-1+2^{k+1}\tag{3} \\ &amp;=2\cdot 2^{k+1}-1\tag{4}\\ &amp;=2^{k+2}-1\tag{5}\\ &amp;=2^{\left(k+1\right)+1}-1.\tag{6} \end{align}   Therefore, $P\left(n\right)$ holds for all $n$.$\;\;\;\;\blacksquare$   Is everything right? My professor went over the methodology in class quite fast (and I had a bit too much coffee that night) and I want to make sure I have it down for tomorrow night's exam. Line of Bones to Travel and Conform to Curve (Train or snake following path) Managed metadata columns in document information panel with multiple content types I'm just getting started with Pinter's A Book of Abstract Algebra, please be kind. The book solution for Chapter 2, Problem 7 claims that the following operator is non-associative:  $$ x * y = \frac{xy}{x+y+1}$$  The book solution:  $$ (x * y) * z = \left(\frac{xy}{x+y+1}\right) * z = \frac{xyz(x+y+1)}{x+y+z+xy+yz+xz+1}$$  $$ x * (y * z) = x * \left(\frac{yz}{y+z+1}\right) = \frac{xyz(y+z+1)}{x+y+z+xy+yz+xz+1}$$  However the $(x+y+1)$ and $(y+z+1)$ terms appear to actually cancel out:  $$ (x * y) * z = \left(\frac{xy}{x+y+1}\right) * z = \frac{\left(\frac{xy}{x+y+1}\right)z}{\frac{xy}{x+y+1} + z + 1} $$  $$ x * (y * z) = x * \left(\frac{yz}{y+z+1}\right)  =\frac{x\left(\frac{yz}{y+z+1}\right)}{x+\frac{yz}{y+z+1} + 1} $$  So the denominators cancel out, the two groupings are equivalent, the operator is associative.  This result is duplicated in Mathematica, but I'd like to make sure I'm not missing something.  Sorry for bothering people with such a basic question.

How to include audio file in PDF I just updated my Moto X to latest and greatest Android 4.4 KitKat (I even did full factory reset just to be sure) and now I'm trying to install  but unable to do so, I'm getting following error:     Unknown error code during application install "-24"   Please advise. How do I create a very long delay with Redstone? The only things I've found so far are a cart method (which ceased working in 1.6), a dispenser method (utilizing the decay on dropped items, but this requires occasional feeding), and a binary counter (which won't work for a single input but rather a fluctuating one).  I want to have a circuit that when I apply an input signal, the output signal doesn't change for 2 to 5 minutes.  When the input turns off, I again want a 2 to 5 minute delay.  I could accomplish this with (roughly) 240 to 600 redstone repeaters, but this is far in excess of being useful.  The only method I can think of, but would require a XOR gate (on the button-input and final output) to start and stop a clock attached to a binary counter.  While I can make room for a device of this size, I was hoping for something simpler.
