Seeking WW2 service record of Helmut Pelz?
Finding information on German soldiers from World War I and World War II?
This is about the upcoming  Zack Snyder movie , where Ben Affleck is playing Batman. I just read an  that Christian Bale wanted to be Batman again. So I wanted to ask why wasn't he cast as Batman in this movie. I checked the Wikipedia entry but nothing suggests why Christian Bale was not there. Nolan is associated with the movie as an adviser and DC Entertainment is producing this one too. So sort of familiar turf, right? But how come Ben Affleck is the new Batman?  EDIT: I would like to add another interesting piece of information. Bale is aged 40 (born 1974) and Affleck is 42 (born 1970). So they have actually cast an older actor. In any Pythagorean triplet at least one of them is divisible by $2$, $3$ and $5$. Show that if $x$, $y$, $z$ are integers such that $x^2 + y^2 = z^2$, then at least one of them is divisible by $2$, at least one is divisible by $3$, and at least one is divisible by $5$.  I know that $x,y,z$ are sides of a right-angled triangles. If I start putting values, then I can show, but have no clue about mathematical approach.  How do I solve it mathematically, using modular arithmetic? What is a proper way to clean a 35mm negative film stripe before scanning?

Prime ideal and nilpotent elements In  it says that flagged comments can be handled automatically if flagged repeatedly (3 + (score / 3) flags = deletion). Which is great; mods are busy people.  In , the venerable Bill the Lizard says that if all comments on a post are obsolete, you can flag the post (or one of the comments) with a custom flag saying that they're all obsolete, and the mod can remove them with one fell swoop. Problem is, that requires a mod.  What should I do when some of the obsolete comments are mine? I can't flag my own comments, and I don't like raising custom flags if I can avoid it.  You're wondering why I don't just delete them. There are two scenarios where I don't, at least not immediately:   Someone has commented with incorrect information. In that situation, I reply to the comment telling them how they've got it wrong. (Sometimes, of course, they quite correctly reply telling me how I got it wrong, which is neither here nor there&nbsp;&mdash; we still end up with obsolete comments. :-) ) Frequently, they reply saying "you're right" but (near universally) leave the comment lying around. I can (and do) then comment again saying "Let's clean these up" and flag their comments as obsolete. But I can't flag mine. Nor do I want to remove mine while the incorrect comment is still there; it leaves a confusing situation for anyone coming to the post later. Someone has commented with correct information. In that situation, if appropriate (e.g., the post author isn't busily editing at the same time and I know enough to do it properly), I'll edit the comment into the post and reply with "You're right, edited that in." and flag their comment as obsolete. These are rarely removed by the commenter. And again I can't flag mine.   The first scenario is the more problematic, since I can go back 10-20 minutes later and remove my "edited that in" comment and there's no harm if their comment is still there.  I currently bookmark and check back periodically, but that's labor-intensive and I'd like a better way.  Ideally, I'd want to tie my comment to one I've flagged so that it's deleted automatically if the other one is (by flagging, or by the commenter). That's a fair bit of development, though, I'm guessing.  What should I do? Go with a custom flag saying "The conversation between X and me is now obsolete," even though that means dumping it on a mod? (Google) Title of page not updated, everything else did My website changed significantly this month.  Amongst the changes was the website's title.  Two weeks ago, I finally used Webmaster Tools and submitted the page.  So far, Yahoo and Bing have updated the title in the search results, but not Google.  I've resubmitted via Webmaster Tools the website, and the bots have crawled the page, and have added "content keywords".  But the title still doesn't match.  The "content keywords" lists many of the words in the new title (but contains keywords of the existing title also).  Must say that 4 of the top 5 key words in the "significance" list are the new title's.  Still, no change.  Any remedies for this problem?  Is adding the "alt" tag for the logo significant enough to trigger the change?  There isn't an appropriate place to put the company name between  tags on the front page.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

I want to take my laptop as well as my tablet (iPad). Am I allowed to take both in my backpack with my documents related my work. I think I am allowed to take only one computer as per the rule. Will the customs consider my iPad as a computer?  What all I can take?   One of my friends took 2 laptops (1 work and 1 personal) and had trouble at the airport.  Also I am planning to take some wristwatches (7 of them, each avg price is 45 $). I read in a website that I can take stuff up to max 35000 INR. Is that true? In that case, how will I manage my stuff? How to get icons in Safari favorites (aka favicons) to display correctly? I am using Safari on macOS Sierra. I have added several commonly-used sites to my favorites section, like so:    (there are 10 icons, and all but 2 of them are displayed as the proper, correct icon from the site. For example, the Wikipedia icon has the large W icon. However, for Google Drive and Gmail, the icons are just big, ugly, generic G's)  I would like for the two Google sites to correctly display their icons as well. At first, I thought it was because all 8 of the "correctly displayed" sites had successfully configured their "Safari settings" or something like that, while Google failed to do this (although this doesn't sound too plausible).  However, if I instead go to the top menu in Safari, click Bookmarks > Show Bookmarks, I get the following:    Strangely, this time, the two Google sites do have correctly displayed icons, while it is instead three other sites (out of the 10) that aren't displayed: namely Wikipedia, Amazon, and New York Times.  So it seems that there are two sets of icons, "big" and "small", and for big icons, Google Drive and Gmail are not displayed correctly, while the other 8 are, and on the other hand, for small icons, Google Drive and Gmail are displayed correctly, while Wikipedia, Amazon, and NYTimes are not.  I actually don't care too much about the small icons, but I would really like for all the big icons to display correctly. How can I do that? How can I design a tree graph with node shapes as this photo? How can I combine multiple rows into a comma-delimited list in Oracle? I have a simple query:  select * from countries   with the following results:  country_name ------------ Albania Andorra Antigua .....   I would like to return the results in one row, so like this:  Albania, Andorra, Antigua, ...   Of course, I can write a PL/SQL function to do the job (I already did in Oracle 10g), but is there a nicer, preferably non-Oracle-specific solution (or may be a built-in function) for this task?  I would generally use it to avoid multiple rows in a sub-query, so if a person has more then one citizenship, I do not want her/him to be a duplicate in the list.  My question is based on the similar question on .  UPDATE: My function looks like this:  CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION APPEND_FIELD (sqlstr in varchar2, sep in varchar2 ) return varchar2 is ret varchar2(4000) := ''; TYPE cur_typ IS REF CURSOR; rec cur_typ; field varchar2(4000); begin      OPEN rec FOR sqlstr;      LOOP          FETCH rec INTO field;          EXIT WHEN rec%NOTFOUND;          ret := ret || field || sep;      END LOOP;      if length(ret) = 0 then           RETURN '';      else           RETURN substr(ret,1,length(ret)-length(sep));      end if; end; Lost/Deleted dpkg (package manager for Debian).

A weighted version of random.choice Why is the harmonic oscillator so important? I've been wondering what makes the  such an important model. What I came up with:   It is a (relatively) simple system, making it a perfect example for physics students to learn principles of classical and quantum mechanics. The harmonic oscillator potential can be used as a model to approximate many physical phenomena quite well.   The first point is sort of meaningless though, I think the real reason is my second point. I'm looking for some materials to read about the different applications of the HO in different areas of physics. Background I updated my TeX Live installation on my Mac a while ago and got the error LaTeX3 Error: Mismatched LaTeX support files detected. I found a solution at .  As far as I understand it (which isn't very far), there are system formats and local formats, and TeX Live is updating the wrong one.  The fix is to update the formats. Using fmtutil-user --all worked for me.  It spewed out a load of stuff, then output fmtutil [INFO]: log file copied to: /Users/&lt;user&gt;/Library/texlive/2020/texmf-var/web2c/luatex/dvilualatex.log fmtutil [INFO]: /Users/&lt;user&gt;/Library/texlive/2020/texmf-var/web2c/luatex/dvilualatex.fmt installed.  I don't know what this tells me, but my TeX Live preferences has TeX programs set at /Library/TeX/texbin, which seems to be a link to /usr/local/texlive/2020/bin. Problem Every time I update TeX Live, I have to apply the solution again. Question Is there a way to make TeX Live use the correct formats permanently so that I don't have to keep running fmtutil-user --all after every TeX Live update?  Extra information  to  check if you have some local formats around which hide the system formats. (with eg kpsewhich --all --engine=pdftex pdflatex.fmt)  When I did that, it output /Users/&lt;user&gt;/Library/texlive/2020/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.fmt /usr/local/texlive/2020/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.fmt  but I don't know what that's telling me.
