Weighing a flying bird
Make \cite{my reference} show name and year I am trying to figure out how to make author's name and year show up every time I make a reference.  For example:  my_bibtex.bib has this entry:  @article{Franklin1999,  author = {Franklin Allen and Risto Karjalainen}, title = {Using genetic algorithms to find technical trading rules}, year = {1999}, volume = {51}, pages = {245-271}, journal = {Journal of Financial Economics}  }   If in my_paper.tex I use this line:  Important result has been found by \cite{Franklin1999}   My output looks like:  Important result has been found by [1]   But I want it too look like:  Important result has been found by Franklin 1999   I there a way to do it?  My bibliographystyle is set to plain  \bibliographystyle{plain}  \bibliography{my_bibtex} How to backup all my data from a server? There does not exist an entire function which satisfies $f({1\over n})={1\over 2^n}$, what I tried is if possible then define $g(z)=f(z)-{1\over 2^{1\over z}}$ Then $g({1\over n})=0$ and so $g(z)$ is entire and its $0$ set has limit point in it and so $f(z)={1\over 2^{1\over z}}$ which is not analytic at $0$? Please help!  Edit: OOps! the way I defined $g(z)$ that is not entire! could any one give me hint? On what site can I ask questions related to copyright?

Biblatex: submitting to a journal Deep in my families history (1600's or there abouts) our family split in two. About three or four generations later two distant cousins got married creating a split / rejoin.                G.G.G.Parents A        +---------+---------------------------+     G.G.Grand Parent                      G.G.Grand Parent        |                                     |     G.Grand Parent                        G.Grand Parent        |                                     |     Grand Parent                          Grand Parent        |                                     | +------+-------+                     +-------+-------+ Aunt       Parent A - - -+- - - Parent B         Uncle                          |                   +------+------+                Child A        Child B                  ...           ...   So in this small example, the family splits in two at G.G.Grandparents and then rejoins later when Parent A and Parent B marry.  About 8 years ago I tried to find a software package which could model this and failed. Has anything happened in the intervening time?  Sorry I'm just asking in SE without doing much research, but I spent a lot of effort last time without any success and I am sure there is someone out there who can point me to an excellent package!    @ColeValleyGirl: I'm looking for a piece of software that is able to print out such a tree/DAG (thanks @ACProctor) in high enough quality to display/frame. All software I tried before didn't seem to be able to display this as they seemed to support mainly variations of Ancestors / Descendants rather than an output of all the people that had been inputed.  @AdrianB38: Essentially, I want to see "everyone". The tree I have was put together by my grandfather, who probably had a lot more data/people, but I've only got the hand written tree which highlights this split. It's essentially a tree of my grandparents ancestors (including this split which is joined at a common ancestor) and descendants (me + my family). I'd like to reproduce this in the computer (there is about 400 years - hundreds of people).  @AdrianB38: Re your point about generations, yes, I have that issue. I think it's only one generation, might be two - i've not looked at the tree in a while. The split between families happened over about 150-200 years iirc.  I can write an SVG generator if I really need to (I'm a Software Engineer) albeit I'm aware such a "loop"/"dependency" is painful to program for, but I was hoping that there was something which could handle this. Accourding to ,   We often use "been to" when we refer to completed visits to a place:  Have you ever been to Budapest?  Not: Have you ever gone to Budapest?  If the visit is not complete, we use "gone to".  Joan’s just gone to the shop. She’ll be back in about ten minutes. (Joan has not yet returned from the shop.)  Joan’s just been to the shop. She bought some cakes. Would you like one? (Joan has returned from the shop.)  Now, does that rule apply to the  "Have been on a trip" &amp; "Have gone on a trip"?  So, "I have been on a trip" (I completed the trip &amp; currently I am staying at home)  "I have gone on a trip" (I haven't completed the trip &amp; currently I am on the trip)  And what about "gone crazy" &amp; "been crazy".  Does "He has gone crazy" mean now he is still crazy?  Does "He has been crazy" mean now he is not crazy any more?  Are there any differences between "Have been on a trip" vs "Have gone on a trip" and "Have been crazy" vs "Have gone crazy"?  Note: I am not asking about "been to" or "gone to". I am asking about "been on a trip" &amp; "gone on a trip". Do we apply the same rule of "been to" or "gone to" to "been on a trip" &amp; "gone on a trip"?  Note2:  seems to prove that my thinking is right. How do I disable 'Activities' hot corner in GNOME shell? GNOME shell has the so-called feature "hot corner", that opens the dashboard  if the mouse touches the top-left corner of a monitor screen.  I want this disabled I used to have a GNOME shell extension, yet the repository is not found anymore:  git clone git@github.com/Ahrak/gnome-shell-extension-disable-hot-corners.git fatal: repository 'git@github.com/Ahrak/gnome-shell-extension-disable-hot-corners.git' does not exist Hyperlinks clicked in evince document viewer are not opening, any ideas on how to fix? As it was instructed in another thread here in the forums, I opened the /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache file to check for correct references. And noticed this doesn't seem to be the problem, there even are 3 optional browsers to use.  x-scheme-handler/http=google-chrome.desktop;chromium-browser.desktop;firefox.desktop; x-scheme-handler/https=google-chrome.desktop;chromium-browser.desktop;firefox.desktop;   I already checked that the programs are correctly named, using the "which" command in the terminal, like this:  $ which google-chrome $ /usr/bin/google-chrome   So google-chrome should be the first option and yet the order to open a url doesn't seem to be arriving to the program, not even to the 2nd or 3rd option for that matter anyways.  Also, the 'Get help online...' command in the 'Help' menu doesn't work. So it is not a problem with the specific document file either.  I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. If you need to ask for more relevant details, please do. It would be nice to have various opinions on how to solve this, thank you :-)  UPDATE: I ran evince from the terminal as asked. This is what I'm getting when trying to open a link:  /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome: line 42: /opt/google/chrome/chrome: Permission denied /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome: line 42: /opt/google/chrome/chrome: Success   Should I try the fix you suggested even if my error log is different?  UPDATE: Tried @maggotbrain's solution and BINGO, now I can study pdf references faster thanks to you bro! Remove rogue app from menu bar I have a rogue item on my menu bar from a terrible piece of printer/scanner software. I long ago removed the app, but the button for the app remains in the menu bar.   Is there any central way for me to remove an item from the menu bar? Any plist I can hack? command line trick, etc?

Every Artinian ring is isomorphic to a direct product of Artinian local rings Proposition. Let $R$ be commutative ring with $1_R$. We assume that $R$ is an Artinian ring and $M_1,\dots,M_n$ its maximal ideals. Then         $R/\mathrm{Jac}(R)\cong (R/M_1)\times \dotsb \times (R/M_n)$.   The ring $R$ is isomorphic to the direct product of a finite number of Artinian local rings.      Proof. 1. It's obvious that $M_i+M_j=R,\ \forall 1\leq i \neq j \leq n$. So, from Chinese Remainder Theorem, we have  $$R/\bigcap_{i=1}^{n}M_i = R/\mathrm{Jac}(R) \cong (R/M_1)\times \dotsb \times (R/M_n),$$ as we wanted.    Since $R$ is an Artinian ring, we have $\mathrm{Jac}(R)^m=\{0_R\}$, for some $m\in \Bbb Z^+$. But,  $$\{0_R\}\subseteq M_1^m\dotsb M_n^m=(M_1\dotsb M_n)^m\subseteq (\bigcap_{i=1}^{n}M_i=\mathrm{Jac}(R))^m=\{0_R\}.$$ So, if we apply CRT we will take  $$R\cong R/\{0_R\}\cong R/M_1^m\dotsb M_n^m\cong (R/M_1^m)\times \dots \times (R/M_n^m).$$   Questions.   1) Are these thoughts complete and correct?  2) Why $R/M_i^m$ are artinian local rings?  3) Could you please elaborate some examples as an application?
