Which question is correct? Please help me as I'm completely confused.  Tony ________ to have children until his little daughter was born. After she won his heart, he decided he wanted a big family. A. didn't want B. hadn't wanted  This is a multiple choice question from Understanding and Using English Grammar Workbook, 3rd edition by Betty Schrampfer Azar. To me, both A and B seem correct and I don't know which option I should delete.

In  they've somehow created "wireless" networks, meaning networks that connect two components but don't have an actual wire in the schematics.  What are these called, and how can I create them in Eagle Cad 6.5? How to implement "confirmation" dialog in Jquery UI dialog? Do there exist general conditions under which we can conclude that continuity on a topological space is detected by $\mathbb{R}$? Whenever $X$ is a topological space, let us say that continuity on $X$ is detected by $\mathbb{R}$ iff for all functions $f : X \rightarrow Y$ where $Y$ is another topological space, we have that if every continuous function $c : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow X$ satisfies "$f \circ c$ is continuous", then $f$ is itself continuous.   Clearly, continuity on $\mathbb{R}$ is detected by $\mathbb{R}$ It is shown  that continuity on $\mathbb{R}^2$ is detected by $\mathbb{R}$. Clearly, it is not the case that continuity on $\mathbb{Q}$ is detected by $\mathbb{R}$, since every continuous mapping $\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{Q}$ is constant.      Question.

I am new to linux, but had a question. I am getting in the business of buying old computers, putting Linux on them, then donating them to students who don't have their own computer at home. I have gone through and installed Xubuntu on my system, installed/uninstalled all the software that I want/need, and now want to know if there is a way that I could make an ISO of my system, and put it onto ANOTHER computer, and still have all of my tweaks, and programs ready to go after the ISO has installed. That way I don't need to go through and spend an hour or two on every computer.   What programs would you recommend for creating an ISO like this?   Thanks, Tobin Gapless superconductivity I don't understand what is meant by &quot;gapless superconductors&quot;. As far as I know, the superconducting gap is necessairy for both zero resistance and the Meissner effect, the two hallmarks of superconductivity. So, what does it mean to have gapless superconductivity and how does it work? Thanks in advance, Greetings What is the difference between a homepage link with or without a trailing slash? What is the difference between can and could in 'Can/could you please explain this to me?' Can you please explain this to me?          Could you please explain this to me?   I am unable to figure out which to use which situation. I did google, and some posts say they are both the same, even if the second one is more formal. Other posts say could is the past tense of can, but in the above example, I don't think could is used as past tense of can.  What is correct way to use these words? I've created a series of DEM files using the  tool from LAStools; however since I don't have a licensed version they have black streaks running across them. Does anyone know a good method for removing these streaks? What is happening here, when I use squared loss in logistic regression setting? I am trying to use squared loss to do binary classification on a toy data set. I am using mtcars data set, use mile per gallon and weight to predict transmission type. The plot below shows the two types of transmission type data in different colors, and decision boundary generated by different loss function. The squared loss is $\sum_i (y_i-p_i)^2$ where $y_i$ is the ground truth label (0 or 1) and $p_i$ is the predicted probability $p_i=\text{Logit}^{-1}(\beta^Tx_i)$. In other words, I am replace logistic loss with squared loss in classification setting, other parts are the same. For a toy example with mtcars data, in many cases, I got a model &quot;similar&quot; to logistic regression (see following figure, with random seed 0).  But in somethings (if we do set.seed(1)), squared loss seems not working well.  What is happening here? The optimization does not converge? Logistic loss is easier to optimize comparing to squared loss? Any help would be appreciated.

In how many ways can these students sit around a circular table such that no boys are next to each other.   My Attempt: Total number of ways in which both boys are girls can be arranged on a circular table is $13!$ and the number of ways in which any two boys can be together is $2!*12!$. Therefore the answer is $13!-2*12!=11*12!$. Is this answer correct? I am asking this because I am confused about the exact meaning of the line "no boys are together." Does this mean that no two/three/four boys are together?   Note: Meanwhile I have made another attempt on the problem. We can place the $10$ girls on the circular table in $9!$ ways. Then we are left with $10$ spots which need to be filled with $4$ boys. This can be done in $P^{10}_4$ ways. Thus, the number of ways is $9!P^{10}_4$. If $S$ is a finitely generated graded algebra over $S_0$, $S_{(f)}$ is finitely generated algebra over $S_0$? Let $S = \bigoplus_{n\ge 0} S_n$ be a graded commutative ring. Let $f$ be a homogeneous element of $S$ of degree $&gt; 0$. Let $S_{(f)}$ be the degree $0$ part of the graded ring $S_f$, where $S_f$ is the localization with respect to the multiplicative set $\{1, f, f^2,\dots\}$. Suppose $S$ is finitely generated algebra over $S_0$. Then $S_{(f)}$ is a finitely generated algebra over $S_0$. Why is the Petersen graph no Cayley graph? Execute a program at login I'm running Arch-Linux ARM on a Raspberry Pi.  My project goal is to have a barcode scanner attached to the Pi that forwards the scanned messages to a server in a LAN.  To harden the system against power outages etc. and minimize required user interaction, I wish to set it up so that a certain user is logged in automatically at startup (done and works) and a specific program is to be run at startup (done and works but not as intended).  I've done this so far by adding  exec mono scannerSoftware.exe 127.0.0.1 1234 randomString   to /home/certainUser/.bash_profile so it gets executed only once even when I'm switching back and forth to root (in contrast to bashrc).    The particular problem I am having: When I launch the system, it works as intended (login as certainUser, starting scannerSoftware.exe); BUT if I want to switch users and hit Ctrl+C, it restarts the login process, logging certainUser in again and running the program again => back to where I came from.  My guess as to why this happens is that the sys detects "login not complete, better start it again".  I could circumvent this by spamming Ctrl+C right around the login so that I practically interrupted it. Of course, this is not good practice. Suffice it to say it is not practical at all.  My question: How can I set it up so the program gets executed AFTER login is complete so that Ctrl+C'ing out brings me to a normal bash prompt as certainUser instead of beginning the endless login-cycle?  EDIT: I'm not using any graphical interface or such, only commandline (bash on tty), because when done the system won't even have a display.

Chromatic polynomial properties I have some properties which I do not understand how to form a proof for. Most of them are by induction, which is not my strong point Any help would be fantastic.
