What is Elrond's position/status, as compared to Galadriel's? In the Lord of the Rings books, Galadriel of Lorien is even more exalted than in the movies.  She is essentially a queen, and the deference shown to her far exceeds that shown to Elrond of Rivendell.  Yet in the films, we see her trying to persuade Elrond to intervene in the battle of Helm's Deep by sending Elf troops to reinforce Theoden's forces.  Eventually, Elrond relents, and orders the Elves into battle.  But the troops in question are Galadriel's, not Elrond's - they are led by Haldir, one of Galadriel's guards; the trip from Rivendell to Helm's Deep (500 miles as the crow flies) is about 2 times longer than the trip from Lorien to Helm's Deep (250 miles as the crow flies), far too long for the reinforcements to arrive in time.  But then Haldir greets Theoden of Rohan by saying he has come bearing a message from Elrond - not Galadriel.     I bring word from Lord Elrond of Rivendell. An Alliance once existed between Elves and Men. Long ago we fought and died together. We come to honor that allegiance.    This seems odd for a few reasons. The troops are Galadriel's, not Elrond's, and they come from Lorien, not Rivendell. She clearly wanted to send them to Helm's Deep - she was cajoling, prodding, and guilt-tripping him into doing just that.  She is also a queen, and could presumably order them into battle regardless of what Elrond says.    So why does she have to talk Elrond into letting her send her own troops into battle, especially when he is too far away to contribute manpower (elfpower) or materiel to the battle of Helm's Deep?  Why not say, "I'm not going to sit here doing nothing while Saruman runs roughshod over Rohan;  you can support me or not, Elrond, but if you aren't willing to help, you can at least get the hell out of the way"?  Why does her aide Haldir "bring word from Elrond" when the troops - and the impetus for sending them - came from Galadriel, and Elrond resisted sending them out for as long as he could?  And again, what is Elrond's official position/status/rank, and why would a queen need his permission to deploy her own troops?

How to increase battery life on Ubuntu 20.04 and what power saving software should I install, if any? Can the ship's captain really perform your wedding when in international waters? On , Mark Mayo posted a comment that any marriage has to be on dry land or close to it.  But I'm sure all of us have heard of ships' captains marrying couples at sea.  From the movie Casablanca:     Say, why don't we get married in Marseilles?   ...   Well, let's see. What about the engineer? Why can't he marry us on the train?   ...   Well, why not? The captain on a ship can. It doesn't seem fair that...    So is this fiction after all? If not how does it fit with Mark's comment? What special rules and such should we know?  If I'm travelling at sea with a significant other and wish to tie the knot, can we do so with any captain on any ship on any sea? Must it be international waters? So far I've been using public void run() {} methods to execute my code in Java. When/why might one want to use main() or init() instead of run()? I edit a lot of posts every day. I often run across posts with 'Hi' and 'Thanks' on the top and the bottom of the post respectively. I also run across things like:     --User   Should these items be removed during the editing of the post by an editor? How did Sauron remain in control of the Nazgûl? The One Ring gave Sauron control of the Nine, yet when it was taken from him he still possessed the power to control them (or, at least he regained it towards the end of the third age).  Why is this?   mentions that he drew the Nine to him, but not how. :     "Food left on plates after eating is   defined as garbage (jutha) because it   has been polluted by the eater’s   saliva.

Get the raw HTML of selected content using javascript Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) was announced at Google I|O 2012 on June 27, 2012.  (You can review  at the official Android Developer's site.)  Of course, not all devices will get this update right away and others won't get it at all. Each manufacturer and carrier often choose to add their custom modifications which tend to delay the official release.  When will each device get Android 4.1, either officially or unofficially, if ever?  See also: Accessing System Databases/Tables using LINQ to SQL? Finding the distribution of sum of Lognormal Random Variables I am trying to find the distribution of sum of 2 lognormal random variables. I referred the literature available on Cross validated, Stack overflow and few papers before posting this.   I used convolution to find the distribution of sum of 2 lognormal rvs. The approximation works for difference. But, not for sum. I am getting a nasty kink at 0 in both CDF and PDF. I could not recognize the reason. With few tweaks, the shape of the distribution comes right. But, I am not sure what I was doing is right.   Can somebody guide me here? Consider $\mathbb R^{[0,1]}$ the space of all functions from $[0,1]$  to $\mathbb R$  and the cylindrical sigma algebra $\mathcal B$  on it.

HTML text input allow only numeric input Creating polygon feature class from area in one not covered by another using ArcGIS Desktop? I am working on a project doing spatial analysis at a statewide level. I am looking at a form of transportation coverage in a state, and part of my analysis involves buffers and drive time polygons. I am using a geodatabase (therefore ArcGIS) for all my work, so new features will be exported as feature classes in feature datasets. To visualize: I have said state border, and some dissolved buffer rings around some points, and they cover parts of the state. I want to create a feature class for the parts of the state these buffer rings don't cover, AKA gap areas. Is there a tool I can use or create to do this? I know I could draw them in manually in editor, but I am unsure if that's the most precise way to generate these feature classes. To me, I am thinking this operation would be like an inverted &quot;Clip&quot; in that I take the two layers, and instead of pulling out the clipped area, it would take everything not in the clipped area. I am using a Desktop Basic license. Does driving an microcontroller's GPIO when it is powered off weaken the chip? We are using the  in a project. The way our design is now, the IC's GPIO pins will sometimes be driven high (to 3.3V) or low when it is powered-off. Will this weaken the chip? The absolute maximum ratings state the voltage on any digital I/O pin is -0.3V to VSupply+0.3V. If the answer is no, could the IC be weakened during power up?  The LTC5800-IPM does not have the most detailed datasheet. If it is not clear for that device in particular, I'd be interested to know for CMOS microcontroller GPIOs in general. I am trying to plot the function 1/x^2 but the result is obviously wrong, here is how it looks like    here is the code  \begin{center}      \begin{tikzpicture}      \begin{axis}[      %xlabel=$x$,     %ylabel={$f(x) = x^2 - x +4$}   ]      \addplot[blue] {1/(x^2)};     \end{axis}     \end{tikzpicture} \end{center}   Any suggestions on how to fix this? How does Ubuntu partition the disk when we choose "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" during installation? Server vs single-player world effects Are there any differences with regards to chunk generation or other settings in single-player vs server mode of equivalent versions?  I have a map I'd like to host on a private server for my friend to play with me. However, when I'm on the road without ready internet, I'd like to play it single-player as well.  Will this cause any issues, especially with chunk generation, drops, items, etc (i.e., getting a different chunk generated in server-mode than single-player would have created), or do all server-client version pairs (I'm using 1.6.2) use the same game code?  The main point is that I don't want gameplay to change at all, between single-player and server mode.
