How do I punctuate the following sentence in parentheses: (Just stand up and say cancel that.)  Do I need to put the "cancel that" in quotes and a comma after say and a capital "C"? It is an instructional manual.
Sam developed an annual sweepstakes promotion entitled “The Free Gas Punt Return Game”.    Do I need a comma after entitled or not?

I have seen a few different flavors of exception logging utility out there, and a common concept is to capture the class and method that were running when the exception was thrown. In the case that made me wonder this, the logger is used for more than just exceptions. It has method signatures like:  public static void logMessage     (LoggingLevel loggingLevel, String className, String methodName, String message)   It seems to me that we should be able to get the className and methodName parameters programatically. Can it be done? How? Let $f:\mathbb{R}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ a differentiable function such that $f'(x)=0$ for all $x\in\mathbb{Q}$ Let $f:\mathbb{R}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ a differentiable function such that $f'(x)=0$ for all $x\in\mathbb{Q}.$ $f$ is a constant function? When we define the S-matrix, what are "in" and "out" states? I have seen the scattering matrix defined using initial ("in") and final ("out") eigenstates of the free hamiltonian, with  $$\left| \vec{p}_1 \cdots \vec{p}_n \; \text{out} \right\rangle = S^{-1} \left| \vec{p}_1 \cdots \vec{p}_n \; \text{in} \right\rangle$$  so that  $$\left\langle \vec{p}_1 \cdots \vec{p}_n \; \text{out} \mid \vec{q}_1 \cdots \vec{q}_m \; \text{in} \right\rangle = \left\langle \vec{p}_1 \cdots \vec{p}_n \; \text{in} \mid S \mid \vec{q}_1 \cdots \vec{q}_m \; \text{in} \right\rangle.$$  1) What are "in" and "out" states?   2) Are they Fock states?   3) In Schrödinger or Heisenberg or interaction representation?   4) How are they related? (I believe that I see what they handwavily represent physically, but not formally.)  My main issue is that, if "in" and "out" states are one-particle eigenstates of the free hamiltonian, i.e. if $\left| \vec{p}_1 \text{out} \right\rangle$ describes a free particle with momentum $\vec{p}_1$, and $\left| \vec{p}_1 \text{in} \right\rangle$ also describes a free particle with momentum $\vec{p}_1$, then $\left| \vec{p}_1 \text{out} \right\rangle = \left| \vec{p}_1 \text{in} \right\rangle$ ... which is false. Still, books (some at least) describe these "in" and "out" states like that.  Moreover, I have seen (e.g. in Wikipedia, but also ) that the scattering matrix is a map between two different Fock states, and I don't understand that.   5) Do states of the interacting system live in the same Fock space that asymptotic free states?   6) And if not, where do they live?  Understandable references would be appreciated. Let $x &gt; 1$ and $a$, $b$ be positive integers. I know that $a$ divides $b$ implies that $x^a - 1$ divides $x^b - 1$. If $b = qa$, then  $$x^b - 1 = (x^a)^q - 1^q = (x^a - 1)((x^a)^{q-1} + \ldots + x^a + 1).$$  I'm interested in the converse of the statement. If $x^a - 1$ divides $x^b - 1$, does this imply that $a$ divides $b$? What is the yield keyword used for in C#? In the  question one of the answers had the following code snippet:  IEnumerable&lt;object&gt; FilteredList() {     foreach(object item in FullList)     {         if(IsItemInPartialList(item))             yield return item;     } }   What does the yield keyword do there?  I've seen it referenced in a couple places, and one other question, but I haven't quite figured out what it actually does.  I'm used to thinking of yield in the sense of one thread yielding to another, but that doesn't seem relevant here. After using `networksetup -setdnsservers Wi-Fi "8.8.8.8" "8.8.4.4"` how do I clear them? I'm looking to script a temporary DNS server change to override the DHCP response I get from the network. I've figured out I can use networksetup but once we're done testing. Before I push to production, I figure I should know how to undo this.  How can I script to clear these changes and restore the settings the network provides now as if I never ran the following script?  networksetup -setdnsservers Wi-Fi "8.8.8.8" "8.8.4.4"   It's not feasible to save any the previous settings and I'm looking to remove the setting so that the actual new values can be retrieved from the network as opposed to saving what the settings were previously so I don't save an old value that is no longer correct.  Basically, I'm looking to ipconfig /renew on macOS. I am trying to perform centrality analysis with sDNA with ArcGIS Pro (ver. 2.7.1). However, I have failed to run the Preparation &amp; Integral Analysis in sDNA with the same reason. What is the problem and What should I do? In "Seeing like a state" of James C.Scott there is a sentence at the beginning of a paragraph (Acknowledgements xi):     There are a good many scholars whose writings opened up new   perspectives for me or provided outstanding analyses of issues that I   could not have hoped to study so comprehensively on my own.   What worries me is a good many scholars. Is this some type of inversion or ancient English? Is this grammatically right? Why is a here? I thought that appropriate version would be There are many good scholars. Am I wrong?

Doesn't this have to do with the fact, that our repeats are different from the 'classical' Poisson distributions: it's not just ONE event that repeats itself x number of times, but the sum of repeats of different items (songs)?! I want to find the $nth$ derivatives of the function $e^{f(x)}$ with respect to $x$, the first derivative is $$e^{f(x)}f^{\prime}(x).$$  The second derivative is $$\left( {\frac {d^{2}}{d{x}^{2}}}f \left( x \right)  \right) {{\rm e}^ {f \left( x \right) }}+ \left( {\frac {d}{dx}}f \left( x \right)   \right) ^{2}{{\rm e}^{f \left( x \right) }} .$$ The third derivative is $$\left( {\frac {d^{3}}{d{x}^{3}}}f \left( x \right)  \right) {{\rm e}^ {f \left( x \right) }}+3\, \left( {\frac {d^{2}}{d{x}^{2}}}f \left( x  \right)  \right)  \left( {\frac {d}{dx}}f \left( x \right)  \right) { {\rm e}^{f \left( x \right) }}+ \left( {\frac {d}{dx}}f \left( x  \right)  \right) ^{3}{{\rm e}^{f \left( x \right) }} $$  The fourth derivative is $$ \left( {\frac {d^{4}}{d{x}^{4}}}f \left( x \right)  \right) {{\rm e}^ {f \left( x \right) }}+4\, \left( {\frac {d^{3}}{d{x}^{3}}}f \left( x  \right)  \right)  \left( {\frac {d}{dx}}f \left( x \right)  \right) { {\rm e}^{f \left( x \right) }}+3\, \left( {\frac {d^{2}}{d{x}^{2}}}f  \left( x \right)  \right) ^{2}{{\rm e}^{f \left( x \right) }}+6\,  \left( {\frac {d^{2}}{d{x}^{2}}}f \left( x \right)  \right)  \left( { \frac {d}{dx}}f \left( x \right)  \right) ^{2}{{\rm e}^{f \left( x  \right) }}+ \left( {\frac {d}{dx}}f \left( x \right)  \right) ^{4}{ {\rm e}^{f \left( x \right) }} $$  My question is: Is there a general formula or a pattern for the nth derivative of $e^{f(x)}$. You may use the maple command diff(exp(f(x)), x$5) to do some experiments. Thanks a lot ^^ Find the value of $\space\large i^{i^i}$? Is $\large i^{i^i}$ real ? How to find it?   Thank You! Wifi losing connection, weak signal, Intel 7260 adapter I yesterday upgraded from Windows to Ubuntu 15.04 but I have problem with my wireless adapter Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 73).

Fibonacci divisibilty properties $ F_n\mid F_{kn},\,$ $\, \gcd(F_n,F_m) = F_{\gcd(n,m)}$ Can any one give a generalization of the following properties in a single proof? I have checked the results, which I have given below by trial and error method. I am looking for a general proof, which will cover the all my results below:   Every third Fibonacci number is even. 3 divides every 4th Fibonacci number. 5 divides every 5th Fibonacci number. 4 divides every 6th Fibonacci number. 13 divides every 7th Fibonacci number. 7 divides every 8th Fibonacci number. 17 divides every 9th Fibonacci number. 11 divides every 10th Fibonacci number. 6, 9, 12 and 16 divides every 12th Fibonacci number. 29 divides every 14th Fibonacci number. 10 and 61 divides every 15th Fibonacci number. 15 divides every 20th Fibonacci number. I want to buy a home, but I'm not interested in using a realtor as a buyer's agent.  I know that in MLS systems, when a realtor lists a house they specify what commission a buyer's agent will be paid.  Since I am the one who is bringing a qualified buyer to the listing agent, I feel that I would should get the commission (even if it is in the form of a discount on the house).    Essentially, the seller would get the same amount of money at closing... the listing agent would get the same commission as they normally would for showing the house to someone with a buyer's agent... but I would pay less for the house.  Is there a tactful way to negotiate this with the listing realtor?  For example, should I make a side contract with the realtor to pay me the commission at closing?  Or perhaps I can specify in my offer that they should reduce their fees to the seller by the commission amount if the offer is accepted, in order to make my offer more attractive?  Are these types of deals ever done, and if so, is there a conventional way to make it happen?  Thanks How to run scripts without typing the full path?

When you Google for the answer, you get so many different answers. Is there an official/backward and forward compatible way of doing it?  Here are two possible ways of doing it. Which one among the two is the standard/best way of doing it?  First way:  IF EXISTS (SELECT 1             FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES             WHERE TABLE_TYPE='BASE TABLE'             AND TABLE_NAME='mytablename')     SELECT 1 AS res ELSE SELECT 0 AS res;   Second way:  IF OBJECT_ID (N'mytablename', N'U') IS NOT NULL     SELECT 1 AS res ELSE SELECT 0 AS res;   MySQL provides the simple   SHOW TABLES LIKE '%tablename%';    statement.
