Package draftwatermark: no watermark on the first page I need to add a watermark on all pages of a latex document but the first.  Currently, I'm using , but I haven't suceeded yet.  Any advice or suggestion?  I tried the xwatermark package, as suggested , but it came out that it is not compatible with other packages I'm using.
latex : Exclude draftwatermark from specific pages I am using draftwatermark package. Is there any option to exclude watermark from some specific pages? Say no watermark from pg 3-4. I can not use xwatermark package. It conflicts with the geometry package of my document.  MWE:  \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{exam} \usepackage{draftwatermark}  \usepackage{lipsum}   \SetWatermarkAngle{45}  \SetWatermarkLightness{.8}  \SetWatermarkFontSize{10cm}  \SetWatermarkScale{5}  \SetWatermarkText{\tt{12345}}  \begin{document}  \lipsum[1-20]  \end{document}
Why a subspace of a vector space is useful How can I resize (not compress) multiple images in a MS Word document? In a blank document, I insert images (screenshots - all are of same size and same format) from a folder. I want to resize the images to a desired size. All now I am doing is selecting one image by one, setting its size. Word does not seem to have multiselect working for images.  Ideally, I want to select multiple images set its size in one go with out use of a macro. I'm new to Ubuntu. I installed it today, but the first thing I encounter is that I can only connect to the Internet through wifi.  Can someone help me?   iwconfig result :  eth0      no wireless extensions.  lo        no wireless extensions.   lspci:  00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor DRAM     Controller (rev 09) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor PCI Express Root Port (rev 09) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 04) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 04) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev c4) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev c4) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 4 (rev c4) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation HM76 Express Chipset LPC Controller (rev 04) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 04) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 04) 01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M] (rev a1) 03:00.0 Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp.

Though voltage and current are two interdependent physical quantity, I would like to know what gives more "shock" to a person - Voltage or Current? In simple words, will it cause more "electric - shock" when the voltage is high or Current is more? I was browsing through the apt folder to try my proxy settings and I was unable to find the apt.conf file in Ubuntu 11.04. Is there any alternative file for it?

This is a bit of dispute between work colleagues. An answer would be greatly appreciated.  My argument is as follows:  If you add X amount of milk at a temperature of M to a mug at room temperature R before adding X amount of water at temp W, the result would be a cooler cup of tea than if you'd added the hot water first. This would be due to the milk reducing the overall temperature of the mug in the time that has been in it resulting in the addition of boiling water having less of an effect and resulting in a slightly cooler cup of tea/coffee.   Conversely, if you add the hot water first, due to the mug being heated, the effect of adding the cool milk will be less and therefore the end result will be a hotter cup of tea.  My Colleagues arguement is simply that it would not make a difference but without any form of justification.   If anyone can give real scientific light to this issue it would be greatly appreciated :) Rich Snippets not working (and working at the same time?) Can I use a variable which has a non-linear relationship to the dependent variable in logistic regression? Let's say I am building a logistic regression model where the dependent variable is binary and can take the values $0$ or $1$. Let the independent variables be $x_1, x_2, ..., x_m$ - there are $m$ independent variables. Let's say for the $k$th independent variable, the bivariate analysis shows a U-shaped trend - i.e., if I group $x_k$ into $20$ bins each containing roughly equal number of observations and calculate the 'bad rate' for each bin - # observations where y = 0 / total observations in each bin - then I get a U shaped curve.  My questions are:   Can I directly use $x_k$ as input while estimating the beta parameters? Are any statistical assumptions violated which might cause significant error in estimating the parameters? Is it necessary to 'linearize' this variable through a transformation (log, square, product with itself, etc.)? I'm looking for an understandable proof of this theorem, and also a complex one involving beautiful math techniques such as analytic number theory, or something else. I hope you can help me on that. Thank you very much Missing "References" heading $$\sqrt{x + \sqrt{x + \sqrt{x + \cdots}}}= 5$$ The additive group $\mathbb{G}_a$ over an infinite field $k$ is not a topological group An algebraic group is not necessarily a topological group, since for an algebraic group, the product map $G \times G \to G$ is continuous when $G \times G$ is given the Zariski topology, which is finer than the product topology.   So does this tell you that the additive group $\mathbb{G}_a$ over an infinite field $k$ is not a topological group? The underlying variety of $\mathbb{G}_a \times \mathbb{G}_a$ is $\mathbb{A}_k^1 \times_k \mathbb{A}_k^1 = \mathbb{A}_k^2$, whose Zariski topology is the cofinite topology, where every open set is also open in the product topology (since $\mathbb{A}_k^1$ also has the Zariski topology). rotatebox symbol in caption generates error Following minimal example doesn't work and generates an error  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{amssymb} \begin{document} \begin{figure}   FIGURE \caption{$\blacksquare$ result of; \rotatebox[origin=c]{45}{$\blacksquare$}}% \end{figure} \rotatebox[origin=c]{45}{$\blacksquare$} \end{document}   The error message says:  rotatebox-in-caption.tex|7| Argument of \@caption has an extra }. || &lt;inserted text&gt;  ||                 \par  || l.7 ...; \rotatebox[origin=c]{45}{$\blacksquare$}}   Do I have to wrap the \rotatebox in a certain box to make it work? Is the usage of text embedded in an image a bad practice, for very controlled uses? What are your thoughts on writing your text in images?  I'm not saying throughout the whole website... But in certain key locations like image carousels. And I'm not talking about the special cases where you have font types that browsers can't render. I'm talking about text that uses standard fonts and is not too big (3/4 bullets).  Should I embed the text in the images that compose the carousel? Or should I apply the text to the images as "real text" HTML?  What are the advantages/ disadvantages of using text in an image? Acro package provides "! Missing number, treated as zero." after update to acro-v2.7b I've been doing ASP.NET development for a little while now, and I've used both the GridView and the DataGrid controls before for various things, but I never could find a really good reason to use one or the other. I'd like to know:  What is the difference between these 2 ASP.NET controls? What are the advantages or disadvantages of both? Is one any faster? Newer? Easier to maintain?  The intellisense summary for the controls doesn't seem to describe any difference between the two. They both can view, edit, and sort data and automatically generate columns at runtime.  Edit: Visual Studio 2008 no longer lists DataGrid as an available control in the toolbox. It is still available (for legacy support I assume) if you type it in by hand though. I'm looking to clarify the differences/overlaps between the three and, if the terminology isn't accurate establish the correct terminology Cannot add custom launcher to Ubuntu Dock ('Add to Favorites' option does not show up) I have a custom .desktop file: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Terminal=false Icon[en_US]=/home/alex/bin/idea-IC-173.4127.27/bin/idea.png Name[en_US]=IntelliJ Exec=/home/alex/bin/idea-IC-173.4127.27/bin/idea.sh Name=IntelliJ Icon=/home/alex/bin/idea-IC-173.4127.27/bin/idea.png  Output of ls -lha .local/share/applications/intellij.desktop: -rwx--x--x 1 alex alex 248 Dez 30 10:54 .local/share/applications/intellij.desktop  Answers posted to a previous question () don't work for me.
