My port of entry and exit is Frankfurt, Germany. However i will only be spending a day or two there. I am visiting Spain and Portugal for a week each. So should I be applying to Spain embassy or German embassy? I am an Indian citizen.
In case, if I get a multiple-entry Schengen visa in one of the embassies in Ukraine, Kyiv - should my first trip be to the country which issued the visa?  Any there any requirements of this sort? Does this condition vary depending on embassy which issued the visa?  What are the possible consequences on not visiting that country first? Does it somehow depend on country where the embassy is (i.e. non-Schengen and not EU members)?
I've believed for a long time that every Lie group can be decomposed as the semidirect product of a connected Lie group and a discrete Lie group. However, in , it is mentioned that this is not true, and that there exist obstructions to this decomposition. Unfortunately, the level of complexity in the answers goes a bit over my head.  This type of decomposition is also addressed in .  With this loss of faith in my intuition, I have three questions:   Is it true that Lie groups do not necessarily decompose into the semidirect product of a connected group and a discrete group? If this decomposition doesn't always work, then is there a particularly nice argument as to why it doesn't? If this decomposition doesn't always work, then is there a nice example I can use to convince myself that my intuition is wrong?   Edit: As much as I love Qiaochu Yuan's answer, which is thorough and (as usual) a role model among Stack Exchange answers, this is not what I'm looking for. I'm aware of the general extension problem, and that not every short exact sequence splits, but my intuition has led me to think that each Lie group can be decomposed this way. I will certainly play around with his outline for a construction, but I would much prefer a more concrete answer. Once again, thank you!  Edit: As of yet, playing with the construction suggested by Qiaochu hasn't yielded anything interesting. This question is still open to answers! Install Alongside Windows or Something Else - Which should I use? I have old notebook with BIOS (not EFI) installed with Windows 8 RTM, want to install Ubuntu 12.10 by booting to a LiveCD.   Doing some research, I found method either to choose Something Else or Install Alongside... Which method should I use? WhatsApp for Ubuntu Phone? Does someone know if there already is a WhatsApp Version for Ubuntu Phone? I decided to install Ubuntu on my Android, but I don't want to use my phone without WhatsApp. In Magic, at the start of the game, you draw 7 cards. How would you calculate the likelihood of drawing a specific card in your opening hand?  For example, let's say I have a 60 card deck, and I'm running 4 . What is the percent chance that I will have at least one Bird in my opening hand? Why is the light reflected at the same angle from mirror? From the school physics I know that the material objects bounce from the plane surface at the same angle, losing some kinetic energy. In the same school I was taught that the light (and waves in general) obeys this principle too.  Obviously, in the case of light the plane surface should be a perfect mirror. But I can't understand how should this work from the quantum point of view. Let's assume that our mirror consists of a single silver atom.  Why should the electrons of this atom re-emit consumed photons at some specific angle? How to color particles based on the texture of the object from which they are emitted, using the "grid" emission setting? How to close ports in Linux? I have some question in closing port, I think I got some strange things.  When I use execute  nmap --top-ports 10 192.168.1.1   it shows that 23/TCP port is open.  But when I execute  nmap --top-ports 10 localhost   it show that 23/tcp port is closed.  Which of them is true? I want to close this port on my whole system, how can I do it? How to prevent Windows 10 from automatically adding keyboard layouts (i.e. US keyboard) Update: this is a lengthy post, you can     Note: The quick language list refers to the list in the screenshot below, accessible throught the shortcut Win + Space bar  I have two languages for windows spell check in my system, English (United States) and French (Switzerland), but despite both languages being properly configured with "Swiss French" input keyboard, US Keyboard input keeps appearing on this list:    Here's the settings for English (United States) language, you can see the only input is "Swiss French":    Same for Français (Suisse), the only input is "Swiss French":    In the Control Panel, both are also set as Swiss French:    All my settings are set to use "language list":     Here's a few things that I already tried:   I already managed to remove it by some language configuration gymnastics, by adding and removing languages, it always eventually comes back I have already done this:  There's no mention of US Keyboard in my registry settings either:     Please help, I'm desperate, this is my third computer with Windows 10 and they all do the same thing. Predicator vs. Predicate BACKGROUND According to Oxford Dictionaries Online:   means &quot;(In systemic grammar) a verb phrase considered as a constituent of clause structure, along with subject, object, and adjunct.&quot;  means &quot;The part of a sentence or clause containing a verb and stating something about the subject (e.g. went home in John went home).&quot;  In the latter example of John went home, it seems, the predicate is went home whereas the predicator is went, home being an adjunct and thus not part of the predicator as defined. Now, I looked further in  to better understand the difference. The article recognizes two competing notions of the predicate in theories of grammar:  (1) Predicates in traditional grammar (e.g., went home in John went home) (2) Predicates in modern theories of syntax and grammar (e.g., went in John went home)  Which, according to the article, causes confusion as to what exactly the term predicate mean, and some grammarians came up with a new term &quot;predicator&quot; specifically for use (2), says the article. No problem thus far. What bothers me: The article in its explanation of (2) says, &quot;Other function words -- e.g. auxiliary verbs, certain prepositions, phrasal particles, etc. -- are viewed as part of the predicate.&quot; (Emphasis mine.) Now, remember this definition of the predicate, i.e., (2) above, corresponds to the new term &quot;predicator&quot;. I understand that auxiliary verbs are part of this definition of predicate, because an auxiliary verb can be part of a verb cluster. But can certain prepositions and phrasal particles also? The article has these example sentences (Words belonging to &quot;predicate&quot; (2) are boldfaced as in the article itself; My comments in parentheses.):  The butter is in the drawer. (preposition in being part of the predicate) You should give it up. (particle up being part of the predicate) Susan is pulling your leg. (I don't know why leg is marked as part of the predicate. Maybe a typo?)  QUESTION Except for the last one, which I suspect is a typo, I'd like to know whether the preposition in and the particle up belong to the predicate as presented in (2) and thus belong to the new term &quot;predicator&quot;. How can I adjust Cycles material displacement amount? I wrote a question about blocking certain characters in passwords. It became tremendously unpopular, and it seemed like everyone wanted to rain on my parade every day.  Eventually, I "got it," agreed completely with what people were saying to me, and just wanted to withdraw my question so that my reputation didn't slide even further downhill.  Unfortunately, the system is designed such that I can't withdraw my question or redeem myself. Instead, I just get daily reputation attacks. That's a terrible system, and it needs to be changed. Converting Linux into a Router- Traffic from eth0:0 to eth0 So I have been trying to convert my linux box which is running Mint into an router. eth0 has a public address that has 71.xx.xx.xx for an IP addr. I created an eth0:0 and set it an IP address , 10.0.0.100. I started a DHCP server that is on eth0 ( because it wont use eth0:0) and that's giving out addresses between 10.0.0.101 and 10.0.0.200. I can ping between eth0 and eth0:0 on the same machine. I have a another laptop connected to the linux via a switch and its able to receive an ip addr via the DHCP server. Problem is how do I route traffic from and to eth0:0 to eth0 and vice versa so that computers on the private network that is 10.0.0.x can access internet via the static IP on eth0.

New to the cloud so pardon this question as I'm certain it's relatively simple!  I've setup my Google Cloud Instance and I'm now trying to connect to it using FileZilla. I have a good understanding of how to do this... but I've been completely unable to download my .ppk file, public key, and private keys. The documentation clearly gives the folder that the files are located in.... but I'm unable to navigate to these folders (it's as if they don't exist) furthermore I'm not really sure how to download something to my computer through the SSH terminal.  Also somewhat infuriating is that I've found the keys in the web portal on Google Cloud however there is no option to download them. I can only view them in clear text.  Any help would be greatly appreciated! Where does de Broglie wavelength $\lambda=h/p$ for massive particles come from? I'm curious where the  $p=\frac{h}{\lambda}$ comes from?   I know that for light (which has no rest mass), the following is true:  $E=pc$ and $E=hf$  so,  $$pc=hf \Rightarrow p=\frac{hf}{c}=\frac{h}{\lambda}$$  But how is the expression $p=\frac{h}{\lambda}$ obtained for a massive particle where $E\neq pc$? I've read some people claim that the expression can be derived, and others saying it's an experimentally verified relationship. Is there a way to output for Print. I want to save in a higher DPI than the default 72dpi say 300dpi that's a good quality for printed pieces. I tried downloading an add-on but don't know if I am installing it correctly it isn't showing up but the bar in python is green. I'm using the 2.69 version of Blender. If no such feature exists what size have any of you found best for print quality. Thank you Explanatory variables may bias predictions I' m asking this question out of sheer curiosity, my teacher was not able to explain it.   If I'm using logistic regression with categorical variables they are coded like {1,2,3}. I guess it wouldn't change my results if I used {4,5,6}. But what if linearity of coding wasn't kept? (say {4,10,99})? What I deal with is just the way of coding factor variables but is it possible that the statistical inference could be "distorted" this way? Or, worst case scenario, would I be able to draw nonsense conclusions from categorical data just because they are coded in some way? Is "I'm being angry" ungrammatical? Anime about a boy and a girl who ride ostrich-like creatures through a valley I can not remember much but I have had this film in my head for years I searched everything I can remember on every website I can think of.  I don't remember the exact story but I'll list everything about it can   Apocalyptic future possibly Two main characters: a boy and a girl riding ostrich-like creatures through a valley An old blind lady that senses things Crashed spaceship looking like a submarine Giant creatures looks like yaks with blue eyes, whose eyes turn red when something is about to happen The old lady says "Some say they went to the stars" while looking at the spaceship The two main characters do something and their eyes turn blue in the distance and the village cheers   This film is at least ten years old and I would appreciate it so much if you knew anything about it, or could help me find the title.
