Why do I always hear remote train horn at night? This is definitely not an illusion, as many people have the same experience. I have usually lived in places miles away from train stations, which makes it unlikely to hear any train horns during the day. However at night, occasionally train horns can be heard. I hope if any one can explain the physics of this effect, like possibly sound travels faster at low temperature. How to change color for a block of texts? Lucia is gone. Just gone Skyrim problem here. I've finally found a house mod that will support a family (as in allow them to move there). I'm excited to install it, but it says that a new save game is highly recommended unless you haven't adopted any kids yet.   I recently adopted Lucia. I have two saves in my game, a quick and a full. I know that the full save has Lucia as adopted, but I'm not sure if the quick does. If it does not, then my reasoning is that I can install the mod and load that save, rather than having to work all the way back through eighteen levels.   And here's the problem. I loaded the quick save and searched for Lucia, in an attempt to see if she was adopted or not. She is nowhere to be found. She is not sitting under the tree in the middle of Whiterun, she is not in Breezehome, and she is not in the inn.   I tried to use console commands. both the moveto and placeatme commands do not work. I used both the refid and the baseid. Neither worked. I used help Lucia, thinking maybe the wiki was wrong on her ID. it gave me a different ID, which also didn't work. Every time, the console says either that it can't find the objectbaseid, or that the id is invalid.   This has led me to the conclusion that Lucia has been entirely erased from the game's memory, and I KNOW that hasn't happened. Can someone tell me what is going on?   Additional details: I am using a Breezehome overhaul mod. When I adopted Lucia, she moved in perfectly with no trouble though, so I can't really see how that would be the problem. How add 14 days on end date I have End Date column and I want to add 14 Days on it auto when created, can I do it by workflow? Can I do it via jQuery. If yes how? if no how I can do it? Suppose $\int_{[a,b]}f=0,\text{ then }f(x)=0 \forall x\in[a,b]$ Let $a&lt;b$ be real numbers. Let $f:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}$ be a continuous non-negative function. Suppose $\int_{[a,b]}f=0,\text{ then }f(x)=0 \forall x\in[a,b]$    Proof: Suppose for the sake of contradiction $\exists x_0\in[a,b] \text{ such that } f(x_0)= D&gt; 0$  Since the function is continuous at $x_0$, we have $$\forall \epsilon&gt;0, \exists \delta&gt;0 \text{ such that } |f(x)-f(x_0)|\leq\epsilon\text{ whenever } x\in[a,b]\cap(x_0-\delta,x_0+\delta)$$ choose $\delta=\delta_1$ such that $\epsilon=D/2$, then we can say: $$-D/2 \leq f(x)-f(x_0)\leq D/2$$ $$-D/2 \leq f(x) - D$$ $$f(x)\geq D/2&gt;0$$ This implies that $\int_{[a,b]\cap(x_0-\delta_1,x_0+\delta_1)}f &gt;0$  Now since $\int_{[a,b]} f = 0$. we have  $$\int_{[a,b]}f=\int_{[a,x_0-\delta_1]}f+ \int_{(x_0-\delta_1, x_0+\delta_1)} f + \int_{[x_0+\delta_1,b]}f=0$$ $$\int_{[a,x_0-\delta_1]}f+\int_{[x_0+\delta_1,b]}f&lt;-D/2,$$ but this is a contradiction since $f(x)\geq 0$ and hence $\int_{[a,x_0-\delta_1]}f+\int_{[x_0+\delta_1,b]}f\geq 0$  Is my proof correct? How can I get fireworks? What are the requirements for making fireworks appear at the end of a level in the original Super Mario Bros.? Why we usually do not exceed ARMA(5,5) models in practice? Is there any mathematical justification for this? CSS selector for first element with class Make voting activity on your posts available on site metas (what you would get from rep if metas had rep) Child metas don't have rep, so there's no point in tracking a rep stat or reporting changes.  But one of the things rep updates do on main sites is to alert me when there's activity on older posts.  On metas, unless I revisit a question I'll never notice that there's been a bunch of voting (which might be accompanied by new comments that didn't ping me).  I'd like to know about that activity, not because of any ego reasons but because meta is where site policies get discussed and set and it's useful to know about changes in the community will.  A couple days ago I visited a meta post where, a few weeks ago, my answer had been voted down, and this time it was at the top.  Could we have something like the reputation-changes tab on meta?  I suspect that the data already exists, because I once  (and I see I'm not the only one).  If something akin to reputation is already being tracked internally on per-site metas, can we get it exposed? How to pass arguments to addEventListener listener function? The list view of Nautilus 3.6 shows the dates files were modified in a variety of ways: the hour and minute if modified on the current day, and the month and day if modified during the current year, and the year tacked on if modified during a previous year. I would like to see the entire date and time consistently on all the files (e.g.: Sat 20 Apr 2012 01:28:34 PM EDT).  I had this set up before, but I can't figure out how to do so with version 3.6. I did find this question, but the answers no longer apply to Nautilus 3.6:   How can I do so in Nautilus 3.6+? Correct usage of ‘on’, ‘at’ and ‘in’ Is there a max length for an array in C++?  Is it a C++ limit or does it depend on my machine? Is it tweakable? Does it depend on the type the array is made of?  Can I break that limit somehow or do I have to search for a better way of storing information? And what should be the simplest way?  What I have to do is storing long long int on an array, I'm working in a Linux environment. My question is: what do I have to do if I need to store an array of N long long integers with N > 10 digits?  I need this because I'm writing some cryptographic algorithm (as for example the p-Pollard) for school, and hit this wall of integers and length of arrays representation. Effect Of Frequency on Photocurrent The situation is this.. I am performing a photoelectric effect experiment - just the usual - evacuated glass tube containing two metal electrodes connected to an external source of DC voltage (say an alkaline cell) and ammeter in series. I shine a light on one of the electrodes - the frequency is more than enough to cause eject photoelectrons, and the voltage of the cell opposes the electrons which are trying to get to the other electrode. The question is this - what happens to the current on increasing the intensity of light while keeping no. of photons falling on the electrode constant (in other words increasing the frequency)?   Does the current remain the same because the no. of photons falling on the electrode is constant and so no. of electrons being ejected is constant? Or does it increase because the electrons have more kinetic energy, ie, they are moving faster towards the other electrode so that the $t$ (time) term in $I$ = $q$/$t$ is less ($q$ remains constant because no. of electrons being ejected is still the same)?   This question appeared in one of my tests and the answer key says that the current remains constant but think that case 2 is correct and current would increase, which is why I asked this question.  Thanks. In a  of Amstat News, the authors (Mark van der Laan and Sherri Rose) stated that "We know that for large enough sample sizes, every study—including ones in which the null hypothesis of no effect is true — will declare a statistically significant effect.".  Well, I for one didn't know that. Is this true? Does it mean that hypothesis testing is worthless for large data sets? Get the newest file from directory structure year/month/date/time I store backups of databases in a directory structure  year/month/day/time/backup_name  an example would be   basics_mini/2012/11/05/012232/RATIONAL.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.20110505004037.001 basics_mini/2012/11/06/012251/RATIONAL.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.20110505003930.001  note that timestamp from the backup file cannot be used. Before the automation testing starts the server time is set to 5.5.2011  So the question is how I can get the latest file if I pass the "base directory" (basics_mini) to some function that I am going to code.  I need to restore the newest database. I do that in php but I wonder if there is a simple shell scripting solution. Can I visit the UK as a tourist before my Student Visa starts? recursive statistics on file types in directory? I did a website scrape for a conversion project. I'd like to do some statistics on the types of files in there -- for instance, 400 .html files, 100 .gif, etc. What's an easy way to do this? It has to be recursive.   Edit: With the script that maxschelpzig posted, I'm having some problems due to the architecture of the site I've scraped. Some of the files are of the name *.php?blah=blah&amp;foo=bar with various arguments, so it counts them all as unique. So the solution needs to consider *.php* to be all of the same type, so to speak. Looking for a powershell script that can pull a file from a set of PC's and FTP I'm looking to write a script (preferably powershell) that will essentially copy a file from a bunch of PC's and FTP it to a server.   So the structure of the environment is that we have a file on multiple PC's (around 50 or so) that need to placed on a server. Sometimes one of the PC's may be turned off so the script would first need to ensure the PC is up and running (maybe a ping result), then it would need to go into a directory on that PC, pull a file off of it, rename the file, place into a source directory, then remove the file. Naming convention doesn't matter, but date/time stamp would be easiest. Ideally, it would be best to first move all the files to a source directory to save on FTP bandwidth, but since the files will be named the same, the files must be renamed during the move process. Move not copy because the directory needs to be empty so the file can be re-created the next day. So once moved to the source directory, now all the files need to be FTP'd to a server for processing.   After all of this, we need to know which PC's on the list did not respond so we can manually retrieve the file so the script should output a file (txt is fine) that will show which PC's were offline.   Everything is one domain and script will be run from an server with admin creds.   Thank you! My wife wants a 4th baby, but I don't My wife wants a 4th baby, but I don't.  We have been talking about it for the last few days (talking strongly).   I have raised points such as:   We will get less time to spend with our current kids. The age gap between the first and the last will be too wide. It will cost more money. She will be out of work longer. We will need a bigger house. And we don't even have our own house yet (we are still renting). We will have to start again. Sleepless nights, nappies, feeding, new cot, car seat, etc etc.   She says:   She feels like she is missing something. She has always wanted a large family. Things will be the same regardless of having 3, or 4 kids. She agrees that money will be tighter, but wants to push through it.   Our current kids are 9 months, 2 years, and 4 years. We are young married couple (25), and I have a fairly decent job.  What would be the pros and cons of having another child?   How can we rationally talk to the other about having/or not having another child?  And what should we do if we cannot agree?
