Diversity Statement for Faculty Position in the US?
Faculty positions: What to say in a statement on diversity?
If $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime, prove that $a + 2b$ and $2a+b$ are also relatively prime or have a $\gcd$ of $3$.  I'm very new to number theory so please don't assume I am familiar with some of the terminology. How can I concatenate two arrays in Java? I need to concatenate two String arrays in Java.  void f(String[] first, String[] second) {     String[] both = ??? }   What is the easiest way to do this? I was wondering, why there are passport checks at the check-in counter, Immigration and even at the gate?    For example, I was at Istanbul flying to either UK or US. There's a security check at the check-in counter asking a bunch of questions about my immigration status - even more than the Immigration officer at the border. Also, at the gate, there's also Security officer checking my immigration status and passport asking the same questions.    I thought that would be the responsibility of an Immigration officer rather than some third party company?   The thing I'm curious the most is they don't even know which countries this passport can go to with or without visa. They have to go back to the counter and check with the system which takes a long time. I was wondering why they hire these kind of companies to slow down the process? I am totally new to Linux, servers and websites. I recently set up Apache2, Python, PHP, and MySQL for setting up a LAMP server. I am using Xubuntu 16.04 and PHP 7.0.11. I followed a guide and placed a PHP file named testing.php in it with:  &lt;?php phpinfo(); ?&gt;    It doesn't show anything on localhost/testing.php All it shows is the code itself. I'd really like your help proving:  $(A\rightarrow B),(A\rightarrow C)\rightarrow B,  \mapsto_{HPC} B $  Where $HPC$ is the Hilbert's system proof which contains the following relevant axioms:   $A\rightarrow(B \rightarrow A)$ $(A\rightarrow(B\rightarrow C)) \to ((A\rightarrow B)\rightarrow(A\rightarrow C))$ $(A\rightarrow B)\rightarrow ((A\rightarrow\bar{B})\rightarrow \bar{A})$ $\bar{\bar{A}} \rightarrow A$   In addition tried to use these following lemmas: $\bar{A} \rightarrow (A \rightarrow C) $ and $(A\rightarrow B)\rightarrow (\bar{B} \rightarrow \bar{A})$.  Any suggestions? Calculating ratio between "rows" in ArcGIS field calculator I have a problem similar to  but that is for QGIS whereas I have to perform it in ArcGIS. I have to calculate the Ratio between rows (sequentially, i.e., row1/row2, row2/row3 and so on) of a specific field based on the ID field and have to assign the results to a separate field. Here is the code and the error message:  def CalcRatio(ID,Frequency):     vDict = {}     with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(&quot;Test&quot;,['Frequency'],'ID = {}'.format(ID)) as sCur:     for Row in sCur:     vDict[Row[0]]=Row[1] # Dict[id] =Frequency     try: value = ( vDict[1] / vDict[2])     except: value = -1     return value  Message: ERROR 000539: Error running expression: CalcRatio( 1 , 50680) Traceback (most recent call last): File &quot;&lt;expression&gt;&quot;, line 1, in &lt;module&gt; File &quot;&lt;string&gt;&quot;, line 5, in CalcRatio IndexError: tuple index out of range  Here is the data OID Id  Frequency 0   1   50680 1   2   49740 2   3   48620 3   4   48300 4   5   48004 5   6   45600 6   7   44384 7   8   42720 8   9   41890 9   10  39700 10  11  38530 11  12  38207 12  13  38106 13  14  37303 14  15  37205 15  16  36527 16  17  35301 17  18  31674 18  19  28890 19  20  24612 Why do I get "Permission denied (publickey)" when trying to SSH from local Ubuntu to a Amazon EC2 server? I have an instance of an application running in the cloud on Amazon EC2 instance, and I need to connect it from my local Ubuntu. It works fine on one of local ubuntu and also laptop. I got message "Permission denied (publickey)" when trying to access SSH to EC2 on another local Ubuntu. It's so strange to me.  I'm thinking some sort of problems with security settings on the Amazon EC2 which has limited IPs access to one instance or certificate may need to regenerate.  Does anyone know a solution? Are there any disadvantages to unusual RAM amounts for virtual machines? This is going to seem like a silly question, but many many years ago I somehow got it into my head, perhaps from reading an article or speaking to people 'in the know' that a computer should not be run with 'odd' amounts of ram, such as 3,  5, 7 etc...    Is there any truth in this whatsoever?  I have a vmware environment with many servers in it.  I want to go through and alter the amounts of ram to reduce the overall ram usage and in many cases I want to give a server 3gb of ram as opposed to 4 or 2. Texture not appearing in render? I'm noticing a significant difference between when my objects are observable in the 3D View and when the objects are rendered.  Both objects have a material with toon settings and each have materials (incorrectly?) added to the object. the human mesh has separate textures for the head and body. The sword and the human mesh both have mapping > coordinate set to UV and Mapping > Map set to UVMap, however only the head texture seems to show up properly, and the sword texture doesn't show up at all. Compute $\int_0^\infty\frac{\cos(xt)}{1+t^2}dt$ Let $x \in \mathbb R$  Find a closed form of $\int_0^\infty\dfrac{\cos(xt)}{1+t^2}dt$ .   Let me give some context: this is an exercise from an improper integrals course for undergraduates. My teacher was not able to give a valid solution without  resorting to Fourier series.   He actually wanted to prove first that the function is a solution of the ODE $$ y-y'' =0$$ without succeeding in proving it.   Anyway the result sould be $\dfrac{\pi}{2}e^{-x}$  Thanks for any help on this subject. What is the best backup strategy for macbook pro laptop? I have a lot of data on my macbook pro retina laptop and i am looking for the best backup strategy.  I have previously had a windows desktop with an external harddrive connected all of the time and a backup program that copied to the external harddrive incrementally.  I am trying to figure out the best backup strategy given its a laptop that i move around with and travel with alot (so can't really have a external hard drive always connected)  What is the recommended backup solution for map laptops? From the  article on Wikipedia, the following with regard to the Coriolis Effect on a rotating sphere:     By setting vn = 0, it can be seen immediately that (for positive φ and ω) a movement due east results in an acceleration due south. Similarly, setting ve = 0, it is seen that a movement due north results in an acceleration due east. In general, observed horizontally, looking along the direction of the movement causing the acceleration, the acceleration always is turned 90° to the right and of the same size regardless of the horizontal orientation.   My intuitive (but possibly incorrect) understanding is that if there are two points, Point A and Point B, at different latitudes in the Northern hemisphere, the Eastward velocities of these points are different because they are at different distances from the Earth's axis of rotation, and this causes the Coriolis effect for a rotating sphere.  If a projectile is fired due North from Point A near the Equator towards Point B near the North Pole, the projectile will start off with the higher Eastward velocity of Point A, and will land to the East of Point B, which is moving East at a slower velocity than the projectile.  Firstly, is that correct?  If that IS correct, that brings me to the quote off Wikipedia. The quote implies that, if a projectile is fired due East, it will experience a Coriolis force to the South. My intuitive explanation based on differences in velocities between origin and destination does not account for a Southwards movement at all, since the Point A and Point B velocities are identical if the points are on the same latitude.  What am I missing? Would a projectile fired due East or due West experience any North or South drift caused by the Coriolis effect (or anything else for that matter)?  Why? Is it possible to download using the Windows command line? Without using any non-standard (Windows included) utilities, is it possible to download using the Windows command line?  The preferred version is Windows XP, but it's also interesting to know for newer versions.  To further clarify my question:   It has to be using HTTP The file needs to be saved Standard clean Windows install, no extra tools   So basically, since everybody is screaming , I want simple Wget functionality, without using Wget. 16.04 VirtualBox VM (from vhd file) hangs at "non blocking pool is initialized" I'm trying to boot Canonical's Azure 16.04 .vhd file in a VirtualBox VM and it hangs at "non blocking pool is initialized".  It works in Hyper-V, so it may only be a bug in virtual box (5.0.20). Libvirt: how to pass qemu command line args?

I have been using and making LED flashlights for years now and I am VERY familiar with all of the circuitry and technology inside of them, but I just got my first LED house light bulb that runs off of 110v AC electricity.  It is very similar to a flashlight - it has a large heatsink, and 1 or more LEDs inside of it (brand and specs of emitters, I do not know).  The part that I am most curious about is how the electricity from the socket gets to the emitter.  In a flashlight the power comes from a DC battery through a current regulator (LED driver) and into the LED itself.  This is not difficult because the voltage of common LED emitters is about the same voltage as Lithium batteries (3.7v, 7.4v, etc) which makes the current limiting relatively simple coming from a one or two cell light.  How does this work for a high voltage AC bulb?  Is there a transformer and rectifier inside of EVERY bulb (I sure hope not), or are the emitters manufactured to run off of 110v AC power and just use half of the wave cycle? I have a British passport from 2006 September and going to Florida. The passport in has camera symbol. Is it valid? I am going to Florida in a few days. I have a British passport that I acquired in September 2006. It has a "camera" symbol on front and is biometric. Just seen news items that only passports from October 2006 or later will be accepted by the USA. Is my passport valid for travel to the USA? I do have a valid ESTA. I have two shapefiles, Point and Polyline. I'm trying to populate my polyline layer with the point data ID (systemID) where the lines start to where they end; eg. create two columns (from and to). The lines already have flow direction assigned to them. I am using ArcHydro tools but Arcpy is also fine.  In ArcHydro I have tried using Attribute Tools > Generate From/To Nodes for lines but it creates values for To and From that are not from my point data. My other alternative was using Feature to Vertices and joining the result to my point data table to get the systemID. But then I would have to update the polyline layer as well. I am sure there is a easier way of doing it.  Note: not all the lines have points at the vertices, blank values are fine for them.
