Combination with repetitions. The formula for computing a k-combination with repetitions from n elements is: $$\binom{n + k - 1}{k} = \binom{n + k - 1}{n - 1}$$  I would like if someone can give me a simple basic proof that a beginner can understand easily. Magento: Merge Product Description and Addition Information Tab SEO (or other) problems with a 404? Is there a UNIX command to list all recently removed files from a system Accidentally a rm -rf command was launched to my root directory instead of current directory. I stopped file removing by Ctrl+C but some files has already been removed. Is there a LINUX command to list all recently removed files from the system to get the affected applications ?  Operating System: CentOS 6.3 I would like to achieve this effect using my Nikon P510:      Are there any suggestions or tips that would help me do that? Some kind of + (singular or plural)? I have a question about using the phrase "some kind of _".  Is it incorrect to say "some kind of + plural noun"?     For example, is it wrong to say "are these rock-like things some kind of chocolates?"   I didn't use "kinds" and that kind of adds to my question. Is "kind" always plural, like "some kinds of chocolates"? Because although I'm using "some", it feels like "kind" shouldn't be a countable noun.  Anyway, I don't think I've heard of "some kind of + plural", but I think it makes more sense then using singular, since I think chocolates are countable. Please help! Imagine your college buddy is now running a multi-billion dollar company, while you're still stuck at the same white-collar day job 5 years after graduation. You chat with him and want to express the idea that you're happy for him and fancy having his lifestyle--something like "I wish I could buy a yacht and cruise around the world like you do; I'm glad you're doing really well!"  Basically, it's the feeling of envy when you take out the resentment from it. Is there a word for it?   (I thought about "admire", but found it too strong and broad) What is the difference between select count(*) and select count(any_non_null_column)? I seem to remember that (on Oracle) there is a difference between uttering select count(*) from any_table and select count(any_non_null_column) from any_table.  What are the differences between these two statements, if any? Expandably change letter case and use inside \csname, without a package I want to change the letter-case of a single character argument, and use that changed letter inside a \csname.  And I want to do it without an additional package.  For example, I want to pass a macro the letter {S}, and have it execute the macro \csname macros\endcsname, or pass it the letter {T}, and have it execute the macro \csname macrot\endcsname.    In my MWE, I show three approaches:   I didn't expect \lowercase to work, since I recall reading that it is not truly expanded until the last possible moment.  Surprisingly, it goes into an \edef okay, but it must not be truly expanded, because it breaks the \csname. I also formulated an approach where I used \numexpr to add 32 to the ASCII code of the argument and perform a \char upon that result.  Like \lowercase, it gives the appearance of being expandable, but it also fails inside the \csname. I finally achieve success with the stringstrings package.  Having written the package, I know the conversion was not pretty... essentially, it is an exhaustive 26-fold check of the form \if #1Aa\else\if #1Bb\else\if #1Cc\else...\fi\fi\fi, which has the virtue that it can be expandably placed into an \edef, and so it works.   There has to be a better way.  The MWE works only because I use the inefficiently calculated \tmp from METHOD 3 inside the \csname.  If I use \tmp from either of the two earlier methods, it breaks.  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{stringstrings} \def\macros{Expandably converted an S to a s} \def\macrot{Expandably converted a T to a t} \newcommand\convert[1]{%   %MAKE THE ARGUMENT LOWER CASE   1) LOWERCASE\\   \edef\tmp{\lowercase{#1}}% PRETENDS TO EXPAND, BUT FAILS IN \csname   Here is the ``expanded'' conversion: \tmp\\   % OR   2) ASCII CONVERSION\\   \edef\tmp{\expandafter\char\numexpr`#1+32\relax}% PRETENDS TO EXPAND, BUT FAILS IN \csname   Here is the ``expanded'' conversion: \tmp\\   % OR   3) STRINGSTRINGS PACKAGE\\   \caselower[q]{#1}\def\tmp{\thestring}% WORKS BUT USES A PACKAGE   Here is the ``expanded'' conversion: \tmp\\   %   Now use it in a csname: \csname macro\tmp\endcsname% } \begin{document} \convert{S}\par \convert{T} \end{document}       SUMMARY OF ANSWERS:  I have added egreg's code snippets into this MWE to produce a document (and not just terminal output), showing the methods put forth to this point:  \documentclass{article}  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% L3 APPROACH  \usepackage{expl3}  \ExplSyntaxOn \cs_set_eq:NN \Xexplower \tl_expandable_lowercase:n \ExplSyntaxOff  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% EGREG'S LESS HACKY SOLUTION  \def\explowerchar#1{%   \ifcase\numexpr`#1-`A\relax    a\or b\or c\or d\or e\or f\or g\or h\or i\or j\or k\or l\or m\or    n\or o\or p\or q\or r\or s\or t\or u\or v\or w\or x\or y\or z\else    #1\fi }  \def\explower#1{%   \doexplowerchar#1\relax }  \def\doexplowerchar#1{%   \ifx#1\relax   \else     \explowerchar{#1}\expandafter\doexplowerchar   \fi }  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% STEVE'S HACKY PACKAGE APPROACH  \usepackage{stringstrings}  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%  \def\macros{Expandably converted an S to a s} \def\macrot{Expandably converted a T to a t}  \begin{document}  \textbf{Steve's hacky approach}  \caselower[q]{S}\csname macro\thestring\endcsname\par \caselower[q]{T}\csname macro\thestring\endcsname  \textbf{egreg's less hacky approach}  \edef\lcstring{\explowerchar{S}}\csname macro\lcstring\endcsname\par \edef\lcstring{\explower{T}}\csname macro\lcstring\endcsname  \textbf{L3 approach}  \edef\lcstring{\Xexplower{S}}\csname macro\lcstring\endcsname\par \edef\lcstring{\Xexplower{T}}\csname macro\lcstring\endcsname  \end{document} How do natural and weapon attacks mix? I have a level 1 Synthesist Summoner.  Since he has the Quadruped base Eidolon, when fused, my Summoner has a bite attack (Primary). In addition, I have spent evolution points on a tentacle (Secondary). Finally, my Synthesist carries around an Axe, with which he can make weapon attacks.  If I were to use the Full-Attack option, what attacks could I make, and at what penalties? Let's assume I want to always use the Axe, where possible.  How does this interact with the eidolon's natural attack limit? (3 at first level) I just bought a new config ( ASUS p8z68-v lx, i5-2500k + ram and new graphic card ). Coming back and installing it in my old computer, I just saw that my DVD player was on IDE (yup…).  So, I needed to install windows 7 64bits from my usb key. Fine, I made my usb key bootable and copy the official DVD on it (the same version that was on my old computer), set BIOS to boot on it first and started the computer up.  It worked fine until it asks me for cd/dvd drivers (which is funny since, I do it via USB because I can't plug in my DVD player :D) I have 3 SATA HDD plugged in and that's it.  I made a small google search and found that it could be SATA or RAID drivers. Fine, I took another USB KEY and put all my motherboard drivers on it (from the CD sold with the MB) and none of those drivers seemed to work. I tried downloading new drivers from ASUS website and same effect.  Any idea but no "buy a new DVD player", I'm now broke for the month :) ?

Schengen Business visa without a business invitation letter How to check a large backpack? When travelling on airlines based in the US with a large backpack, I prefer to carry the bag onto the plane as part of my hand baggage allowance.  Most foreign flag carriers, however, have a significantly more restrictive hand baggage allowance.  I was caught off guard by this one time on New Zealand airlines and received my backpack with multiple broken straps and clips.  I managed to repair it, and I'm still using the same pack, but I would like to avoid so many broken parts in the future.    Once, when flying Alitalia (flight was actually booked through Delta) I carried plastic wrap to the airport, and wrapped the entire bag in it before handing it over to the airline.  @jpatokal recommends putting it into a giant, heavy-duty garbage bag in his answer to .     What are the pros and cons of using plastic wrap or a garbage bag?   Can anyone recommend any other, more effective techniques? I am wondering what we can say, if anything, about the population mean, $\mu$ when all I have is one measurement, $y_1$ (sample size of 1).  Obviously, we'd love to have more measurements, but we can't get them.  It seems to me that since the sample mean, $\bar{y}$, is trivially equal to $y_1$, then $E[\bar{y}]=E[y_1]=\mu$.  However, with a sample size of 1, the sample variance is undefined, and thus our confidence in using $\bar{y}$ as an estimator of $\mu$ is also undefined, correct?  Would there be any way to constrain our estimate of $\mu$ at all? I tried getting a good measurement with my caliper, but the flexibility of the tire doesn't help much. Let's say I have a 26&quot;x2.125&quot; tire. I know this fits on an ISO 559mm bead seat diameter rim, and 26&quot; = 660.4mm. 26&quot;:  The OD of the tire including the tread? The OD of the tire excluding the tread? When aired up or deflated? Means it fits a 559mm ISO BSD None of the above?  2.125&quot;:  Width of tread? Width of sidewall? Inflated or deflated?  Essentially, I'm converting the tire sizes to &quot;height off rim in mm&quot; and drawing them with a wheel in a web application, so I need to know how &quot;tire size&quot; translates to this measurement. I'm somewhat assuming that the fractional sizes can be converted to the same measurement, but I'm aware that they have certain differences - so any help there would be of value as well.  has been helpful, but still leaves me with the questions above.

Projecting sp objects in R I have a number of shapefiles in different CRSs (mostly WGS84 lat/lon) that I'd like to transform into a common projection (likely Albers Equal Area Conic, but I may ask for help on choosing in another question once my problem gets better-defined).  I spent a few months doing spatial stats stuff in R, but it was 5 years ago.  For the life of me, I cannot remember how to transform an sp object (e.g. SpatialPolygonsDataFrame) from one projection to another.  Example code:  P4S.latlon &lt;- CRS("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84") hrr.shp &lt;- readShapePoly("HRR_Bdry"), verbose=TRUE, proj4string=P4S.latlon)  # Shapefile available at  #   http://www.dartmouthatlas.org/downloads/geography/hrr_bdry.zip  #   but you must rename all the filenames to have the same  #   capitalization for it to work in R   Now I have a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame with appropriate projection information, but I'd like to transform it to the desired projection.  I recall there being a somewhat unintuitively-named function for this, but I can't remember what it is.  Note that I do not want just to change the CRS but to change the coordinates to match ("reproject", "transform", etc.).  Edit  Excluding AK/HI which are annoyingly placed in Mexico for this shapefile:  library(taRifx.geo) hrr.shp &lt;-    subset(hrr.shp, !(grepl( "AK-" , hrr.shp@data$HRRCITY ) |                                      grepl( "HI-" , hrr.shp@data$HRRCITY )) ) proj4string(hrr.shp) &lt;- P4S.latlon Can “zealot” have a positive connotation? A zealot is a person who is fanatical and uncompromising in pursuit of their religious, political, or other ideals.  I have never seen this word used with positive connotation, but could it (without causing raised eyebrows)? For example, “Gandhi was a zealot and should be admired by all who believe in non-violence.”  Also, do “zealous” and “zeal” carry the same connotation as “zealot”?
