Is there any way to tell Google to display the updated title instead of displaying the old blog title in search results? As a matter of optimization, a few weeks ago I modified the way the titles of my blog posts are displayed (I made a change also in the title of the blog). Then I used the Google Webmaster Tools to re-index the old pages and update titles. Immediately I could update the titles and posts appear correctly on Google.  The problem is that now the titles of posts began to appear incorrectly in the search, using the old blog title. Some posts continue to display the updated title, but many recent posts show the old title.  I've tried re-index the pages with Google Webmaster Tools, but the titles remain unchanged in the search results.  Is there any way to "force" Google to display the correct titles? How to redirect entire phone traffic (including all apps) to a proxy (with out rooting the phone)  We are developing a parental control app for Android, in that we have requirement to capture all out going traffic from Android phone for categorization. Is there a way to achieve this in Android with out rooting the phone.  Thanks, Gopi. Is there any software that can easily create a Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) without using a  script? Let $F:\mathbb{R^2}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function, such as : $$F(x,y)=\begin{cases}        0 &amp; (x,y)=(0,0) \\       \frac{xy}{x^2+y^2} &amp; (x,y)\neq (0,0)    \end{cases}$$      Is $F$ differentiable at $(0,0)$?   My attempt :  Consider the limit, $\lim_{(x,y)\rightarrow (0,0)} F(x,y)$ along the line $y=x$. The limit equals to $\frac{1}{2}$. However, $F(0,0)=0$. Hence $F$ is not continuous at $(0,0)$ which implies that $F$ isn't differentiable as well.  Is this approach okay ? "The queen of England's crown" or "The queen's of England crown"? Possible Duplicate:          What is the correct way of these two sentences?   The queen of England's crown The queen's of England crown   Strictly linguistically, sentence 2 should be the correct one, since the crown belongs to the queen and not to England but it sounds really awkward to pronounce. How big is my single pattern in Photoshop I pulled a repeating pattern from someone else's PSD. Is there a way to figure out the size of the original pattern? I need to create an image with only one tile. Evaluate $\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin (6x)}{\sin(2x)}$ without L'Hopital Let $f\in C^{\infty}(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})$ such that $f(x)=0$ on $\mathbb{R}$\ $(-1,1)$. Prove that there exists $n\in\mathbb{N}$ such that $f^{(n)}$ has at least n+1 zeros on $(-1,1)$  My attempt :   Assume $f$ is strictly positive  (if not n=0 works). Let $Z(f^{(n)})$ the number of zeros of $f^{(n)}$ on $(-1,1)$. Then we have: $$ \forall n\in\mathbb{N}:\;f^{(n)}(-1)=f^{(n)}(1)=0 $$ so that iterating the Rolle theorem to the successive derivatives of f we have  $$  \;Z(f^{(k+1)}) \geq Z(f^{(k)}) +1 $$ thus, by induction : $$ \forall n\in\mathbb{N}: \;Z(f^{(n+1)}) \geq Z(f^{(n)}) +1 $$ Therefore, $$ Z(f^{(n)}) \geq n $$ How can I find an another zero ?   I'm still looking for an another proof which does not use the lemma ..,  Thank you in advance. sudo: /var/lib/sudo writable by non-owner (040777), should be mode 0700 I get error message always when I work with sudo command.

How to change maximum number of cores? It says in  that there is a maximum number of 8 cores supported by default in Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop/Server 32-Bit. What is the way to increase the maximum number of cores from the default of 8 to a higher value, like 12?  The reason I ask is because I have just built a machine with 6 hyper threading cores.  There were issues installing the 64-bit version of the software from a CD (it "panicked" and crashed several times).  The 32-bit installed with no problem, but I only see 8 of the 12 cores.  The BIOS is fine.  If I turn hyper-threading off and reboot, I see 6 cores as expected.  I am nervous to try and compile a kernal, I am still new to all of this.  Is there a config setting somewhere that I should change? Adding layers to GeoPackage using PyQGIS Are estimates of regression coefficients uncorrelated?

Are the Least Square Estimates of $a$ and $b$ uncorrelated? How can I intercept XMLHttpRequests from a Greasemonkey script? Should I let potential employers know I have a job offer? I've interviewed for a few positions, one of which has made me an offer.  I'm very pleased with the offer, but I prefer some of the other positions.  I have the luxury of being able to take a lot of time to decide whether or not I accept this offer, so I'm certain I will hear back (either positively or negatively) from the other positions before a decision is required for the offer I've received.  I'm trying to decide between two courses of action, and I want to choose the one that will best help my candidacy with the positions I've yet to hear from.  Plan 1 is to do nothing and simply wait to hear back from the other positions for which I've already interviewed.  Plan 2 is to be in touch with the other positions to let them know I have an offer, and ask where I stand with them.  Would Plan 2 make me a more desirable candidate with the other positions, as they might see my offer as further validation of my credentials?  Or, might initiating with the interviewers in this way be detrimental to my candidacy, perhaps making me seem pushy or self-centered?  If so, I would rather just wait for them to run their course of action (Plan 1).  As I've said, I have plenty of time, so I don't want impatience to hurt me.  If there is a good chance that my meddling will be detrimental, then I'd rather be hands-off here.  However, if it's more likely that informing the other interviewers of my offer will give me a boost, then I'd want to do so.  Thanks for any clarity you can provide!  Edit: For a bit more information and context, the position I've been offered is a non-academic research position that my advisor has described as "prestigious."  The other positions for which I've interviewed (and which I prefer) are mostly academic teaching-centered positions (visiting assistant professors, tenure-track at smaller four year institutions). I imported the coordinates from an Excel table. They show as single points as intended. Now I want to add columns to the attribute table, but I'm not able to edit it. I wanted to import the following columns from Excel as well, but that doesn't seem to work either.  Sorry for the noob-question, but I couldn't find anything relating the theme through google and such.  Ok, with pictures then: I want to use that to add columns with information to these       You see, the small pensil thingy is greyed out, so I can't edit anything in this layer and I can't add any information to my points.  If I try Ale suggestion I get this error: How can I account for a nonlinear variable in a logistic regression? How can I account for a nonlinear independent variable in a logistic regression?  For example, consider this data set:  b1  b2  b3  b4  b5 1   1   0   0   20 0   1   0   0   20 1   0   0   0   13 1   1   1   0   8 1   1   0   1   5 0   1   0   1   4 1   1   0   1   5 0   0   0   0   8 0   0   1   0   13 1   0   0   1   20 1   0   0   0   29 1   1   0   1   40 1   0   0   0   53 0   1   1   0   68   Suppose I gathered some data like the above (suppose I had 10,000 rows) and I want to use them to predict future sets of similar data with an equation generated by a logistic regression. I get the above data. My independent variables are b1 through b5. By looking at the data, I can clearly see that independent variables b1 through b4 are binary (maybe they are male/female, rent/own, etc).   However I see that b5 is clearly not binary. Upon graphing it and looking at the numbers I determine that the b5 variable has a bathtub shaped U curve with an equation of b5=(x-4)^2+4.   I understand that using the b5 variable as it is would screw up my logistic regression - since any interval independent variables must have a linear relationship with the dependent variable.   Yet, I must account for the variable b5 in my data set while doing a logistic regression for it to be accurate and predict well (right?).  Given the above data, how would I go about making a predictive model with a logistic regression? Any references online or in books would greatly be appreciated as I am having trouble finding a good explanation of the above.  Cheers =)  EDIT:  Sorry if my question is unclear.  Consider this: Suppose we had the following data on many people:  Y: Whether they had a stroke before the age of 50 or not 1. Whether they own a pet or not. 2. Whether they graduated college or not. 3. Whether they are male or female. 4. The number of hours they exercise every week.  We want to train a logistic regression model based on historical data to predict if someone in the future with the same data will be more apt or not to have a stroke before the age of 50.  The problem I am having is with the last variable. A continuous ratio variable like "number of hours exercised each week."  Exercising more each week may have diminishing returns on health and thus having a stroke. For example decreasing an increasing rate. Or maybe (totally made up) exercising a little bit is really good for you, exercising a moderate amount is really bad for you, and exercising a lot is really good for you again. We might have a U shaped curve like (x-4)^2+4 for example when plotting health to exercise.   I would image that having a curved, non-linear independent variable in a logistic regression like the one I described above would cause problems. Am I right? And if so, what kinds of things can you do to still include the variable in the logistic regression. Perhaps a transformation? Is that all? SFDX Pull error: Entity of type 'ListView' named XXX cannot be found While trying to pull changes from a scratch org (sfdx force:source:pull, tried with and without -f), I'm getting this error:     Entity of type 'ListView' named 'Note_Relation__c.My_Notes' cannot be found.   I do have a custom object Note_Relation__c, and it exists both locally and in the scratch org.  However, it's not an object that is normally accessed directly.  It has no tab, and should have no list views.  Nonetheless, I've checked the object's list view (via prefix, e.g., /a0D in both Classic and LEX view), and I can find no list views at all.  I've also tried adding an entry to .forceignore:  force-app/main/default/objects/Note_Relation__c/listViews/My_Notes.listView   This has no effect either.  At this point, I'm stuck with a bunch of config changes in a scratch org that I cannot pull.  I can find no references to this error message with scratch orgs.  Has anyone seen this issue?  Edit to clarify: I tried the .forceignore line based on what I think the file name should be; I have no force-app/main/default/objects/Note_Relation__c/listViews directory locally.  Edit 2: Workaround:  I found a workaround that doesn't make sense to me, but it works.  I'm not adding it as an answer yet because I'm not sure what's happening.  The workaround is to add the following line to .forceignore  Note_Relation__c.My_Notes   Even though this isn't a DX filepath, it's the name from the error message, and it seems to work.
