I have 10 points that represent the centres of countries. I want to show with arrows the flow (some kind of trade) from one country to another.   The way that my table of attributes is constructed is the following:  From country      X Y       To country    X_to  Y_to            Value  1                 X Y       2             X_to  Y_to            10   I want the arrows to be proportional to the value and not to be straight lines but curved as it may be the case that 2 countries exchange trade, i.e. country 1 sends to country 2 and country 2 sends to country 1.  ARCGIS 10.2
I am trying to represent trade flows on a world map where the size and direction of arrows indicate the exports/imports of a given country.  This type of map is commonly found in magazines and newspapers. However, I find it extremely difficult to make.   Is there any function in ArcGIS for Desktop or any free software that would help me in making it?
Graviational Lensing Data Can anyone provide me with (or point me to) real life gravitational lensing data that I can plug in to the first equation on this page (the standard lensing equation):   together with the luminous mass and distance to the galaxy(s).  I've looked for papers online and have not found any simple data that can be readily plugged in to the equation (I am not familiar with the details of how exactly the lensing is measured and have gotten lost in the mountains of data in the papers).  Thanks Are the known exoplanets representative of the population of exoplanets? An  states that most of the 715 newly announced exoplanets orbit very close to their host stars.   Do the theories predict that this is a representative sample and that most planets are very close to their host stars? Or is it just that our current detection techniques are predisposed to finding only those planets close to their stars (because the sensors look for dimming of the host star for example)? How to make the BibTeX reference list visible in a LaTeX document Im very new at LaTeX and I would appreciate some help solving this problem. I have created a BibTeX file containing all references to a document. In this text file BibTeX items are inserted and no other text are written, for instance @article{...}. When I call for this bib file from the main.tex file I use the commands:  \bibliographystyle{plain} \bibliography{thebibliography}   Now to my question. All i get when I compile this main.tex is the title (bibliography) for this chapter, otherwise the textfield is blank. Is this error occurring because I should write anything in the bib file or have I missed any lines in the main.tex file. Why didn't the Seons change? In the book Elantris, the Reod was caused by a giant earthquake opening a chasm which changed the shape of all the Aons. The Seons, which are basically living Aons, were presumably unchanged, since nobody noticed the change, which should have been obvious on the simpler Aons. Use feature as module? Does anyone have experience with using a feature as a module? The usage I am talking about is strictly placing hooks inside the .module file. Can that trigger any sort of bug? Cross-reference packages: which to use, which conflict? Is there any way to set a MacBook Pro to not sleep when you close the lid? Prove $\operatorname{rank}A^TA=\operatorname{rank}A$ for any $A\in M_{m \times n}$ How can I prove $\operatorname{rank}A^TA=\operatorname{rank}A$ for any $A\in M_{m \times n}$?   This is an exercise in my textbook associated with orthogonal projections and Gram-Schmidt process, but I am unsure how they are relevant. How would gravity change on a planet rotating around itself very fast? Let's take a planet identical to Earth, but with rotation speed multiplied by ten thousand. What would happen with the gravity if it was spinning madly around itself? Would the centrifugal force make objects seem lighter than on normal Earth? Would the people on that planet be able to jump higher? In the Stack Exchange Android app, Achievements section I can see only Today's achievements. No Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, ... details.  Previously in the 1.0.85 version itself I saw all the achievements.   I  refreshed the page many time, but still seeing Today's achievement only.  Screenshot for reference:     App Version: 1.0.85 Device Manufacturer: Motorola Device Model: XT1033 OS Version: 5.1 (2) Why would Mystique's DNA allow for Sentinels that can duplicate mutant powers? The future Sentinels in  are clearly shown adapting to powers thrown at them by copying them. Isn't that what Rogue's DNA would allow for, not Mystique's? Mystique can just change appearance, not copy powers ... right? So why would study of her mutant genes allow for the abilities of the future Sentinels? Empty Disk when trying to install dual-boot system I recently purchased an SSD to speed up my computer experience. Before, I had Windows 7 and Ubuntu in a dual-boot system. The plan was to install Windows 8 on the SSD and then set aside ~30GB for the system files of Ubuntu.  I installed Windows 8 just fine on the SSD, then I booted the Ubuntu install CD to make my partitions like always - but GParted tells me the entire SSD is unallocated. Now I am afraid I will lose my Windows installation if I try to do anything to it.  Why does GParted think there is no partition on the SSD? Shouldn't it be 4 Partitions, like the Windows installer told me?  And is it possible to ignore this and install Ubuntu on the hard disk (where it, frankly, already is) and somehow make it possible to install GRUB on the SSD to revert my dual-boot system without damaging the installed Win8? What is the proper use of [square brackets] in quotes? I sometimes see square brackets used while quoting.  My assumption is that they are replacing a pronoun with what the object of the pronoun, but I never know for sure because I don't usually get to see what the original quote looks like before the modification.  What are these called and what are the rules of use? Can a hyphen be used without anything on the right side? Forgot to submit consumption tax (GST) declaration form upon exiting Tokyo Can I connect to a specific access point by BSSID? Is there any way to get Mac OS X to connect to a specific access point by BSSID? I have a network with the same SSID for multiple access points, and I would sometimes like to specify which specific access point to connect to. Is this something Mac OS X can do natively, or is there a third party tool that can do this? Completion handlers and return values How to remove a filter that is an anonymous object? When I upload an image to Stack Overflow, I cannot see my JPEG file in my post. It's all blank. I've tried it with different files, but gotten the same result. Suppose that $V$ is a vector space, and $W$ is a subspace of $V$. If   $V$ is finite dimensional, then prove $W$ too must be finite dimensional.   It seems intuitively obvious that the dimension of $W$ must be less than or equal to that of $V$, but I am uncertain of how specifically to show this to be true analytically.  This question has been asked before (). However, there is not a great degree of explanation in the given answers. The answer which labels itself as a hint is most similar to my thoughts towards an approach to proving this particular theorem.  I was thinking that if $\exists n\in\mathbb{R}:n=\text{dim}(V) \implies \exists B = \{\vec{v}_1,...,\vec{v}_n\}$, a basis for $V$, with $n$ vectors $\vec{v}_1, ..., \vec{v}_1 \in V$. Since $W$ is a subspace of $V \implies \beta$, a basis for $W$, which has $m$ vectors in it can be constructed by removing $k\in\mathbb{R}$ vectors from $B$ such that $B\setminus\{\vec{v}_i,...,\vec{v}_j\}=\beta$ where $\vec{v}_i,...,\vec{v}_j$ are those $k$ vectors. This means a basis for $W$ has $m=n-k$ vectors in it, and by the definition of bases $\implies \text{dim}(W)=m$, and since $n-k \in \mathbb{R}$ and $n-k=m \implies m\in\mathbb{R}$. Thus $W$ is finite. $\square$  It seems like there may be some fault with this argument, though.
