What is the effect an average person feels when he/she meets a celebrity like Justin Beber or JFK in person? What is the effect an average person feels when, for example, that person meets a Justin Beber or JFK in person?   I saw a documentary on JFK (I don't remember which one) once and they mentioned this syndrome where doctors in the hospital were tense and jittery ("don't know what to do, don't know what to say") during the time they were trying to bring  him back after he was shot since they were operating on a celebrity of that stature.   The phrase used was some kind of social syndrome.  Like one could say cold feet syndrome....but cold feet is a medical symptom too so it cannot be used.
A word that means stage-fright, but for a person? Suppose you met a famous person, and you were shy and anxious and almost overwhelmed by them.   Is there a word for describing that? Similar to getting stage fright, or "choking", except in this case for a person?     When he said hello to me, I couldn't respond. I (was) __________.
Is there a third Holmes sibling? Help with table multicolumn Is it wasteful to use a heating element, instead of doing useful work? Consider a computer CPU consuming electrical energy to perform calculations and consequently emitting heat.  Assumption: That a CPU consuming x Watts of power, emits the same amount of heat as an incandescent heating element which consumes the same amount of power.  The rest of the question assumes that this is true: the energy has to go somewhere, and I can't see that the outcome of the calculations counts as "somewhere".  I've long repeated the claim that "wasteful" appliances such as incandescent lightbulbs, over-full kettles, computers left running, etc. are not wasting power if we make the assumptions:   the appliance is in a room which we aim to maintain at above a certain temperature, warmer than the external temperature (cf a home in winter) the room leaks heat to the outside faster than the "wasteful" appliances emit heat. the room contains an electric heater the electric heater is regulated by a thermostat   In these circumstances, I think (?), if a light bulb produces excess heat, its only effect is to cause the thermostat to switch off sooner, so what energy you've "wasted" in the light bulb, is "saved" at the heater.  I don't think that's controversial.  But my question is:   If a CPU does useful work, and emits all the input energy as heat as a side effect But a heating element emits the same heat, without doing useful work Is it therefore wasteful to use heating elements? Is it more efficient to (for example) run  on a CPU, to get "free" computation as a side-effect of heating?   One reason to heat a room with a heating element, rather than with CPUs, is that the heating element is much cheaper to produce. But ignoring the initial cost of the hardware, would a "heater" made out of 20 CPUs, each running at full capacity and consuming 50W each, output less thermal heat than a 1KW element that does nothing else useful?  To be useful, of course, the CPUs would need to output the result of their computations, which would account for a tiny amount of energy. Let's assume that's negligible.  I'm sure there's a flaw in there somewhere; probably that the assumption above is false. What have I missed? How to reconcile the cashless human/Federation society with human traders and merchants On Windows 7 can one make UAC on an admin account prompt for the password, just like a limited account? I am one of the very few who likes the security of UAC and so I have the UAC set to "Always Notify" on my Admin account. But I would be even happier if the system would prompt me for a password, when notifying me.  I can get what I want by adding a second non-admin user and using that account.  But somehow it seems wasteful to have two accounts set up when I will always use the non-admin account day-to-day.  So I am wondering if there is any setting that would cause an Admin account to behave password-prompting-wise as a standard account? What happened to Saruman after he was knifed by Grima? Saruman was one of Maiar, like Gandalf. Meaning that he had a mortal body but presumably, when that body was killed, would simply return back to his ("spirit?") being.  Is there any confirmation from Tolkien that this is indeed what happened after he was knifed by Grima? Or was he somehow completely destroyed since he was de-powered by Gandalf? Why is there conservation of kinetic energy in elastic collision and not in inelastic collision? My name includes space - How do I enter my username when typing command? My username in Minecraft is sun solar arrow. This name includes spaces.

So it shows an error message:  Invaild syntax  How do I enter my username? How do you programmatically set an attribute? Determine Whether Two Date Ranges Overlap Given two date ranges, what is the simplest or most efficient way to determine whether the two date ranges overlap?  As an example, suppose we have ranges denoted by DateTime variables StartDate1 to EndDate1 and StartDate2 to EndDate2. Unable to start Oracle database We have an Oracle database, one data file (users tablespace) of the instance got corrupt and another data file (containing application data) was deleted due to some issue.  The database is in ARCHIVELOG mode, but we neither have data file backup of both data files nor the pertaining archive logs. Hence, I guess we cannot go ahead with the recovery of data files. I am unable to open the database as the data files are not available and face.   ORA-01589: must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option for database open    I am just able to STARTUP MOUNT the database  I wanted to ask if we can somehow we can open the database by taking both the tablespaces offline after STARTUP MOUNT the database instance. Or if there is any other way I can start the database.   There was a power issue and the  server got abruptly shutdown. When we tried to restart the database and found that we were facing ORA-01589: must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option for database open. On further analysis we found that 2 of datafiles were creating problem as one got corrupt other deleted as mentioned. As of now if I try to restart the database it says one datafile which belongs to users tablespace need recovery. I wanted to confirm as if we can start the instance by bringing the tablespace offline.  I tried:  SQL&gt; select open_mode from v$database;  OPEN_MODE ---------- MOUNTED  SQL&gt; alter database open resetlogs; alter database open resetlogs * ERROR at line 1: ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent ORA-01110: data file 1: '/flowsystems/oradata02/flsta02/system01.dbf'   I don't have any archive logs. Karn, the Great Creator - what defines a 'card from outside the game' in sealed? In the upcoming set 'War of the Spark' there is the Planeswalker . His -2 ability reads as:      -2: You may choose an artifact card you own from outside the game or in exile, reveal that card and add it to your hand    Now my question is, in a sealed tournament, like the Prerelease, is a player allowed to also choose cards from outside his sealed cardpool, or only out of the cards therein.

Performance difference between dot notation versus method call in Objective-C Irreducibility of a polynomial if it has no root (Capelli) Let $F$ be a field of arbitrary characteristic, $a\in F$, and $p$ a prime number. Show that $$f(X)=X^p-a$$ is irreducible in $F[X]$ if it has no root in $F$.   This  to a related question mentions the result is due to Capelli.  I can prove the result if $F$ has characteristic $p$ as follows.  Suppose $f$ is reducible: $f(X)=g(X)h(X)$ with $g(X)$ an irreducible factor of degree $m$, $1\le m&lt;p$. Then if $\alpha$ is a root of $g$ in some extension field $K$ of $F$, we have $$f(X)=X^p-\alpha^p=(X-\alpha)^p$$ so its divisor $g(X)$ must be of the form $(X-\alpha)^m$. Since the coefficient of $X^{m-1}$ in $g$ is in $F$, we have $m\alpha\in F$.  So $\alpha\in F$ because $m$ is invertible modulo $p$.  How would you show the result in other characteristics? Is "Five dollars is all I have" correct? I could install with an error message "unknown media /ALL". It could not run WPS Office. I've got a road bike with brake lever shifters, and it's developed a small problem with age: sometimes, the shifter doesn't catch the first time or two I push it. It'll move easily, with no resistance, since it's not actually pulling on the cable, then after a few tries, catch and work normally. The colder the temperature, the more often this happens.  I don't know how the mechanism works internally, so I'm curious what would cause this, and also whether it's (as I suspect) gradual wear of some part of the mechanism, and if it's likely to fail catastrophically, or gradually worsen.
