How do you find the right English words? An example, just a minute ago I was looking for a word to replace candidate  Amongst the candidates for the album title.  since the candidate is a person, not the one-of-many album titles.  So, I was wondering. When faced with a problem as such, where do you go to look for a certain word, if you cannot remember it / do not know it?
What are your favorite English language tools? To prevent myself from asking an obvious, silly question multiple times: What are the English language tools you found most useful?  I found  extremely useful for looking up .   Please, one tool per answer.
limit find output AND avoid signal 13 I have a directory with ~1M files and need to search for particular patterns. I know how to do it for all the files:  find /path/ -exec grep -H -m 1 'pattern' \{\} \;   The full output is not desired (too slow). Several first hits are OK, so I tried to limit number of the lines:  find /path/ -exec grep -H -m 1 'pattern' \{\} \; | head -n 5   This results in 5 lines followed by  find: `grep' terminated by signal 13   and find continues to work. This is well explained . I tried quit action:  find /path/ -exec grep -H -m 1 'pattern' \{\} \; -quit   This outputs only the first match.  Is it possible to limit find output with specific number of results (like providing an argument to quit similar to head -n)? Parse XML with Namespace using SimpleXML Excessive fields in biblatex could not be removed if using \fullcite Combination of biblatex-chicago and Zotero produces many excessive fileds in the bibliography.

This solution worked well for me, but now I have to produce a syllabus using \fullcite command.

Square root of an inverse gamma distributed random variable I work on the grouped t copula and try to replicate part of the following paper: &quot;The t copula with Multiple Parameters of Degrees of Freedom: Bivariate Characteristics and Application to Risk Management&quot;, Luo &amp; Shevchenko (2010). My Question: I need the distribution of the following random variable: $$ Y = \sqrt{\frac\nu X} $$ where X is Chi square distributed with v degrees of freedom. I found out that the following random variabe Z is inverse gamma distributed with alpha = v/2 and beta = v/2, $$ Z = {\frac\nu X} $$ So, basically I am looking for the distribution of the square root of an inverse gamma distributed random variable. Do you have any ideas? Could cancer be in itself a evolutionary process? Could cancer be in itself a evolutionary process? Maybe in some way could it be a process of variation? Or would this idea be completely without support, if so, why?   I don't mean that each case would lead to evolution, but that within an entire group of organisms, it could lead to case of of individuals developing ways to resist what caused the cancer, maybe in cases of individuals beating the cancer or in cases of successive generations of off spring from individuals with cancer?   Could it be possible that in rare cases it could lead to the development of new organs or specialized cells? Removable singularities and an entire function Function $f(z)$ is an entire function such that $$|f(z)| \le |z^{n}|$$ for $z \in \mathbb{C}$ and some $n \in \mathbb{N}$.  Show that the singularities of the function $$\frac {f(z)}{z^{n}}$$ are removable. What can be implied about the function $f(z)$ if moreover $f(1) = i$? Draw a far-reaching conclusion.  My attempt: If the singularities of $\frac {f(z)}{z^{n}}$ are removable, it is entire (not sure, need help with the justification) and bounded, so constant from Liouville's theorem, the constant value of the funcion is $i$, hence $f(z)=iz^{n}$.   But what about the $n$ here, is it arbitrary? Could somebody help me prove the removability of the singularities and suggest if my attempt is going the right way? ESRI has an  from 2004 showing all the symbols available in ArcGIS at the time and their names. I don't need it often but if I'm searching for a certain symbol and don't know its name it's sometimes easier to look at a few sheets of paper than to use the Symbol Selector. It doesn't seem like it's been updated for ArcGIS 10, though. I was wondering if anyone is aware of a new version of this, or if anyone has created one on their own they might be willing to share. Understanding slice notation I have purchased a rather large bag of long-grain white rice (25 lbs.) and need to know the best way for storing it long-term. This rice will be used as both a food-storage food source and as my everyday source of rice for cooking, so the storage solution should (hopefully) be resealable, rather than once-it's-open-it's-open. I eat rice maybe three times a month, so it isn't really "everyday" but it will be my go-to when I have it. I have got this problem on limits  $$ \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin(x)}{x}\right)^\frac{1}{x^2}$$ What I am doing here is that taking log and then applying L-Hospital's Rule $$y= \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin(x)}{x}\right)^\frac{1}{x^2} $$ then $$\ln(y)=\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{x^2}\ln\left(\frac{\sin(x)}{x}\right)$$ now it becomes $\frac{0}{0}$ type , but problem is how to take derivative here? when differentiating $\ln\left(\frac{\sin(x)}{x}\right)$ it will become $\frac{x}{\sin(x)}$ then we'll have to differentiate one more time like we do in case of $f(f(x))$ ? $\sin(x)$ and $x$ will be separately differentiated or together ? How to handle :java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: android.os.BinderProxy.finalize() timed out after 10 seconds errors? How can I remove duplicate values from an array in PHP? How do I remove a configuration object from the active configuration? I'm writing a custom module for Drupal 8. It defines a field storage configuration object, in a file called modules/mymod/config/install/field.storage.bloom_stem.bs_twitter_ac.yml.  The problem is that this is not removed when I uninstall the module; it is apparently left behind because, when I re-install the module, I get a crash.   drush -y pm-uninstall mymod drush cr drush -y en mymod      exception 'Drupal\Core\Config\PreExistingConfigException' with message 'Configuration objects (field.storage.bloom_stem.bs_twitter_ac) provided by mymod already exist in active configuration'   So it seems I need to some how manually remove this configuration object. Do I need to provide some more code that deletes it when the module is uninstalled? The replier's From email address is modified when Marketing Cloud RMM forwards an email to the routing address We've set up RMM to forward replies to routing address and SFMC adds our subdomain to the replier's From email address (i.e. replier@gmail.com becomes replier.gmail.com@oursubdomain.com). However, their reply-to address remains the same.  It seems like DMARC Forward Reply Rewrite is enabled, but we were advised not to touch it as that may affect email deliverability.  Is there any workaround to this? And what will happen if we disable this feature? Reverse Cauchy Schwarz for integrals Let $f,g$ be two continuous positive functions over $[a,b]$ Let $m_1$ and $M_1$ be the minimum and maximum of $f$ Let $m_2$ and $M_2$ be the minimum and maximum of $g$ Prove that $$\sqrt{\int_a^bf^2 \int_a^b g^2}\leq \frac{1}{2}\left(\sqrt{\frac{M_1M_2}{m_1m_2}}+\sqrt{\frac{m_1m_2}{M_1M_2}}\right)\int_a^bfg$$  I can't make any significant progress on this one... Thanks for any hint. A proof by strong induction that $a_n\le3^n$ where $a_n=a_{n-1}+a_{n-2}+a_{n-3}$ I am not sure whether this is right. Can anyone verify, whether this proof is valid? Thanks!        Define a sequence $\{a_n\}_{n\ge0}$ as follows:   $$a_0=1,\qquad,a_1=3,\qquad,a_2=9,\qquad,a_n=a_{n-1}+a_{n-2}+a_{n-3}\text{ for }n\ge3.$$   Prove that for any positive integer $n$, $a_n\le3^n$.        Proof. Let $P(n)$: $a_n\le 3^n$, $n$ is a non-negative integer.      (i) Base case:         Consider when $n=0$. LHS$=a_0=1$, RHS=$3^0=1$ $\therefore$ LHS$\le$RHS, then $P(0)$ holds.   Consider when $n=1$. LHS$=a_1=3$, RHS=$3^1=3$ $\therefore$ LHS$\le$RHS, then $P(1)$ holds.   Consider when $n=1$. LHS$=a_2=9$, RHS=$3^2=9$ $\therefore$ LHS$\le$RHS, then $P(2)$ holds.         (ii) Inductive case:   Assume $P(i)$ is true for $0 \le i \le k$, $k\ge2$.      (iii) Inductive conclusion: Consider $n=k+1$.   $$ \begin{align*} \mathrm{LHS}=a_{k+1}&amp;=a_k+a_{k-1}+a_{k-2} \qquad\text{(by definition, since $k\ge 2$)}\\                     &amp;\le 3^k+3^{k-1}+3^{k-2} \qquad\text{(by Induction Hypothesis)}\\                     &amp;=3^k(3^{-1}+3^{-2}+3^{-3})\\                     &amp;=3^k\left(\frac13+\frac19+\frac1{27}\right)\\                     &amp;=\frac{13}{27} 3^k\\                     &amp;\le 3^{k+1} = \mathrm{RHS} \end{align*} $$   Therefore, by the Principle of Strong Induction, $P(n)$ is true for all non-negative positive integers $n$.
