Hi assuming you have a name like Cross, Tess or Ross. What is the correct way of writing including the apostrophe assuming the owner is a singular entity?  Eg.  Ross's apples Ross'es apples
Many questions already ask about this topic ( , , etc.) and their answers vary, but they always give exceptions to the apostrophe-s rule, for example:      6.24 The general rule for the possessive of nouns covers most proper nouns, including most names ending in sibilants."   Examples they give include Kansas’s, Ross’s land, and Jones’s reputation. Exceptions include Jesus’  and Moses’.  Which names does this apply to?  Is the Aeneas’  form correct, or is it Aeneas’s instead?
How to compute the  formula $\sum  \limits_{r=1}^d r \cdot 2^r$? My actual WhatsApp back total size is 474Mb but when I go to I cloud back up it is showing 10GB, how is it possible? I mean I have deleted all media files from my WhatsApp and in WhatsApp application the total space is 474MB and also in iCloud storage it is 474MB, but when I entered further in to Backups and then choose my phone, it shows total backup size is 14GB and WhatsApp itself is taking 10GB. Can someone help with this? Mouse Pointer Locator Due to a stroke, I have had some vision impairment in that I sometimes have a hard time locating my mouse pointer on the screen.  I have tried making the mouse pointer larger which helps but is still not the solution.  I am new to the Mac world and would appreciate your help.  In Windows, there is an option where pressing the CTRL key will help to identify the mouse pointer using a temporary display of several radiating concentric circles around the mouse pointer.  Is there something like this on OS X? UPDATE statement to re-assign a column value according to a numeric formula I'm a Windows/Mac/Ubuntu and Android user, so I know what I'm talking about, when I say: How do I open binary image files? (.img) They just won't open, on any OS…  I'm an Android dev… I'm currently working on a ROM, (I also program, using Windows) but I need to extract files, from .img files. I've converted them to .ext4.img but they just aren't recognized by Linux (Definitly not by Android), by Mac OS or Windows. In other words, I can't open, extract or mount them.  Can anyone help me? I'm kinda confused… Formula for prime counting function I saw this formula on  page 2  $$\pi (n)=\sum_{j=2}^{n}\frac{\sin^{2}\left(\pi \frac{(j-1)!^{2}}{j}\right)}{\sin^{2}(\frac{\pi }{j})}$$  Where $\pi(n)$ is the prime counting function. Is this true? How to prove it? Why are there no byte or short literals in Java? I can create a literal long by appending an L to the value; why can't I create a literal short or byte in some similar way? Why do I need to use an int literal with a cast?  And if the answer is "Because there was no short literal in C", then why are there no short literals in C?  This doesn't actually affect my life in any meaningful way; it's easy enough to write (short) 0 instead of 0S or something. But the inconsistency makes me curious; it's one of those things that bother you when you're up late at night. Someone at some point made a design decision to make it possible to enter literals for some of the primitive types, but not for all of them. Why? Relation between intensity of light and refractive index How to code an automated bot that can browse and do operations on a webpage Which facility upgrade unlocks maneuver nodes in KSP How to prove polynomials with degree $n$ does not form a vector space? This is one of my linear algebra problems:     Prove that polynomials of degree $n$ does not (The professor made these words bold intentionally) form a vector space.   From what I read, the set of polynomials of degree $n$ should be a vector space, because:   There is an "One" and a "Zero" in this set; We can find inverse for addition and multiplication from this set; It follows all the axioms of addition. It follows all the axioms of scalar multiplication.   Then can someone give me some hints to prove it does not form a vector space? What does “pull sb. out of the hat” mean? I found the phrase, “pull her out of the hat” in the following sentence of the quote from Frank Bailey, the most relied-upon former aide of Ms.Sarah Palin, whose memoir, “Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of Our Tumultuous Years” is due out on Tuesday this week.  “I doubt if there's anything new in this book, just more detailed views of the gruesome story of her rise and fall. What would really be interesting is an account of who made the decisions in the GOP to pull her out of the hat. It certainly wasn't McCain.”  I don’t find the idiom, “pull one out of the hat” in any dictionaries at hand. Does it mean to “pick up” (Sarah Palinfor (vice) presidential candidate) or “remove her from (the candidate seat)? Can somebody teach me the meaning of this phrase? zsh I/O redirection: redirecting and then piping; what is going on? Can somebody explain what is going on in this command:  echo foo &gt;&amp;2 | grep foo   Zsh (5.0.2) prints foo twice. One seemingly to stdout and one to stderr, since running these commands:  { echo foo &gt;&amp;2 | grep foo } &gt;/dev/null   and:  { echo foo &gt;&amp;2 | grep foo } 2&gt;/dev/null   both just print foo once. How is ** implemented in Python? I'm wondering where I find the source to show how the operator ** is implemented in Python.  Can someone point me in the right direction? Series of sequence with terms over series. Prove or give a counterexample to disprove the following statement about series of real numbers:  If $a_k &gt; 0, s_k = a_1 + \cdots + a_k$ and $b_k = a_k/s_k$ then $\sum a_k$ and $\sum b_k$ either both converge or both diverge. Best way to compare 2 XML documents in Java I'm trying to write an automated test of an application that basically translates a custom message format into an XML message and sends it out the other end.  I've got a good set of input/output message pairs so all I need to do is send the input messages in and listen for the XML message to come out the other end.  When it comes time to compare the actual output to the expected output I'm running into some problems.  My first thought was just to do string comparisons on the expected and actual messages.  This doens't work very well because the example data we have isn't always formatted consistently and there are often times different aliases used for the XML namespace (and sometimes namespaces aren't used at all.)  I know I can parse both strings and then walk through each element and compare them myself and this wouldn't be too difficult to do, but I get the feeling there's a better way or a library I could leverage.   So, boiled down, the question is:  Given two Java Strings which both contain valid XML how would you go about determining if they are semantically equivalent?  Bonus points if you have a way to determine what the differences are. I will be traveling from Australia to Austria, transferring in Abu Dhabi. Is it alright for me to bring a vibrator in the check-in luggage, or are there laws against that?  It is approximately 17cm long. Are there any precautions to take? How to change the light grey text that many web sites seem to use these days? Of late, I've noticed that many web sites seem to be using light grey text for many sections of their sites. Some such sections include - the text (link, usually) that shows in the status bar at the bottom of the browser when you hover the mouse over a link on their page, the indicator text in form fields to be filled in (e.g. the word "email" in the email address field), and many other elements on the page.  That light grey makes it much less readable.    Not sure whether is a new trend, or something to do with my browser settings (I haven't changed them lately, AFAIK), or Google Chrome, which is my browser. This is on Windows 7 running on a Dell Vostro laptop. I added the info about the laptop because I suspect the problem may even be due to my hardware settings, since I found the default brightness to be too high after I bought it, and changed it via Control Panel.  Would like to know what are some of the things I can check or change to solve this.  Thanks. So here is what i want to pull : mmcblk0 whith it's size 15.7 GB.  C:\adb&gt;adb shell shell@android:/ $ su su shell@android:/ # fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0 fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0  Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 15.7 GB, 15758000128 bytes 1 heads, 16 sectors/track, 1923584 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16 * 512 = 8192 bytes   This is what I tried:  C:\adb&gt;adb shell su busybox cat /dev/block/mmcblk0 &gt; C:\1.bin   I only have 1KB output with content inside said "unknown id". Also tried with pull but seems also doesn't work.  What should I do to get this 15.7 GB mmcblk0  ? Bring Debian to second Position in the GRUB Menu at startup So, I currently have BOSS Linux and I am going to install Debian (currently installing right now)   And I want my older OS (BOSS linux), on the first position and the debian, (freshly installed) to be on the second. How do I do that?
