For completeness, Apple's Pages has quite a few nice poster layouts.


It is perfectly okay to ask for the figure knowing well that the other person may not give.

You can always ask, then it is the choice of the author to accept or not.


The academic year does start around September in the USA and I think most European countries.

I would not accelerate things, to avoid getting worse grades that you want.


I will advise exactly the contrary of what bravo just said in another answer : go for A !

You could defer admission, but it's a little unusual to defer for a year.


Edit, again: The question seems to have changed, yet again.

I can think of three reasons why a faculty member might reveal how a student performed on a qualifying examination.


I agree with Seteropere completely, "Network Science" is a very broad subject.

I would say you are approaching it in the wrong way.


Supporting an ideology in an ostentatious manner (rather than privately or discreetly) is a personality problem.

I think for an appropriate answer I'd need to know exactly what the 'bad' ideology is.


This does not fully answer your question, but it is certainly one consideration.

I am a PhD student in Computational Science, which is an interdisciplinary major spanning mathematics, computer science, and engineerning.


A few possible problems: 1) Such an ID system seems a little intrusive.

In mathematics, we already have a database of this sort - two them, in fact, with in MathSciNet and Zentralblatt MATH.


As an complement to the other answers, let me address the question of why planets tend towards tidal locking.

The other answers here are fantastic at explaining in a technical sense.


Stars are rotating, but that's not the cause for their stability.

Stars rotate due to the angular momentum of the gas they formed from.


It indeed appears the Andromeda galaxy (M31) and The Milky Way (MW) are en route to a collision.

In a few billion years, the Milky Way and Andromeda will collide.


The short answer is: we are made from the "stuff" contributed by many stars.

It is highly unlikely that we're made out of stuff from only one star.


All we know is this : Distant objects are receding from us at a rate proportional to their distance from us.

The expansion of space means that objects in cosmological distances are receding away from each other.


Like Chris said above, stars rotate to conserve their angular momentum.

Stars are rotating, but that's not the cause for their stability.


According to this website the peak visible magnitude will be about 10.5 around February 2nd.

The AAVSO data seems to indicate that it might have already peaked, at around 10.5 (visual).


All of these effects are related to the 11 year solar cycle.

I will be specific to answering the part regarding the prediction of solar flares.


We are moving "... relative to the comoving cosmic rest frame ... at some 371 km/s towards the constellation Leo".

There is no 'still' that is not relative to some other object.


Yes, it's true that the apparent size of the Moon is 30 arcmin.

When you gaze at the moon "live", you are not seeing a still image.


Let us assume the data for a globular cluster to be equivalent to that of M13.

Globular clusters occupy an interesting place in the spectrum of composite stellar systems.


Why is the speed of light 299,792,458 m/s, and not (for instance) 3,1 or 4,3 x 10^44 m/s?

Speed of light being finite is one of the fundamentals of our Universe.


As per your definition, a star formed in a binary system (hence near some gravitating body) is a generalised planet.

The main flaw with your definition of a "generalised planet" would be the boundary between stars and planets.


A method used to calculate the distance between stars is 3 Dimensional trigonometry.

You only need two-dimensional trigonometry if you know the distances to the two stars and their angular separation.


The farther away, the faster the galaxies move away from us.

Here is my answer to a similar question posted on the physics stack exchange website.


Stars form in star-formation regions, which itself develop from molecular clouds.

It may be possible for a solar system like ours to exist outside of a galaxy.


A black hole (briefly), is nothing more than a dead star whose mass was more than 3 solar masses.

I think you mean to ask, "What is the local sidereal time of Greenwhich?".


Yes, but it does not stay in the same constellation.

Constellations are human constructs to make sense of the night sky.


Asteroids are what are called minor planets - small inner solar system rocky bodies.

The objects you are refering to are actually two different objects: asteroids and comets.


Here is a lexical decision task I wrote years ago using PHP and Javascript (github link).

Just for reference, I ended up writing simple web-based lexical decision task software myself.


It's pretty difficult to imagine a person with Social Anxiety Disorder being an extrovert.

On the surface, it does seem like social anxiety disorder and extroversion shouldn't both exist in the same person.


It is hard to delineate emotion completely from thoughts or sensations, because emotion can contain both.

Technically speaking, an emotion is not different from thought the way it is processed in brain, both involve neurotransmitters.


I've found an additional concept that may be related to the original question: prototype theory.

According to current models of human concept learning, the answer to your question is both.


There are individuals who possess extraordinary memory ability, sometimes called eidetic memory.

There are many arguments for why this is not the case.


Spike trigger is a specific type or you could say a sub-set of reverse correlations, covariance and probabilities.

There's the naïve version of spike triggered averaging, and the sophisticated version.


As mentioned in the other comments, ANOVA is problematic when mixing types of predictor variables.

I like to think of multitasking as rapid task switching.


Q: What is the reason for people to implicitly trust their peers in extreme (or not) situations?

One human-being reliance on other(s) awareness is defined by the level of trust between the humans.


Intrinsic reward is the emotional pay-off that you get by completing an activity.

According to Frederick Herzberg's two-factor theory of motivation, intrinsic rewards are motivators (e.g.


Presumably the decision of drivers to slow down in response to work zone signage is influenced by many factors.

This short talk deals with issues of "cheating slightly" :Dan Ariely: Our buggy moral code.


When studying adult IQ, general adult norms are often used.

Basically, what you do is you compare each age group IQ to the standardization sample.


Some ancient historical precedent exists for preferring $10$, but also for $6$, so that's mixed support from Wikipedia on perfect numbers.

This is indeed possible, but I haven't seen it done experimentally for reasons other than feasibility.


These are interesting studies, but the bottom line is: yes, environment affects cognitive abilities.

I'm not sure what you mean by cognitive capacity, but I absolutely believe that language shapes the way we think.


Since this is a relatively new problem for behavioral researchers, I don't know that there is a common consensus.

I'll address just the first of your three sub-questions, the others have been answered by Chuck Sherrington.


If non-human animals do have intelligence too, why is their intelligence not as advanced as humans?

Your own theory is bad because it seems to follow from a Lamarkian interpretation of evolutionary theory.


The Hare Psychopathy Checklist is often used to assess psychopathy in clinical settings.

I'd been using paper towels to oil the grill, and I just discovered that newspapers work a lot better.


The best way I have found is to soak the ears in husk for several hours before grilling.

Soak whole ears in the husk in a bowl of water.


There are actually quite a few differences between the different types of flour.

The difference is the amount of protein contained in the flour which can range from 5% to 15%.


I've never adjusted the length of time based on number of eggs.

I don't boil eggs enough to keep a feel for the timing...

By the wording of the question, I'm pretty sure you're using one of those pyramidal graters or a "sheet" grater.


I've stored pancakes in the freezer for over two month and not had any freezer burn.

Its going to depend on the type of packaging and also the freezer.

I managed to find this recipe, I think this is where I got the idea.

I've only made a couple of bbq sauces, but they've always come out really well.


I  believe one cannot taste the difference between minced(canned) and fresh garlic once it is cooked.

Good cheddar has little chunks of calcium lactate on/in it - could it be that?

I have two suspicions: One, you're undercooking your roux, the flour and butter mixture, and not fully incorporating the flour.


Copper can be useful for certain tasks due to the its metallic properties (heats quickly, distributes heat evenly, etc.

Probably subjective, but ... Good clad stainless steel will give you much better cooking performance per dollar than copper.


She obviously has a legit excuse, although she could have been more responsible and "have" told you in advance.

The first have covers both been more responsible and told you in that sentence.


In some cases the implication could even be that Tom does not love her.

There is no implication about Tom whatsoever in such a sentence.


I agree with others (and yourself) in that I have never heard this phrase in English.

I have never heard or seen the phrase you mention.


The assertion is false, at least as you've restated it here.

"I had mainly been" is fine, in the context you're using it.


I'd suggest you look to the constructions of the native language(s) of your students.

As bikeboy389 said, you can learn a lot by looking at students' native languages.


I see some references to status as uncountable as well, but that doesn't make much sense to me.

There are some cases "status" may be accounted of countable.


If I understand you correctly, you are looking for a hypernym of inclusion and exclusion.

Inclusion is the act of including and exclusion is the act of excluding.


Firstly, you should be aware that there are two different kinds of dashes: the en dash and the em dash.

Semicolon is used to join sentences that can stand alone, but are joined to emphasize their relationship.


Pardon the brevity of this answer, but I would say "named" is preferred within the context of your example.

Named is preferred in your example, since you are formally giving a name to your method.

I'd say the expression I don't got... is generally rare in spoken AmE.


The "more posh" words are usually Latin (occasionally Greek) in origin.

As Shinto pointed out, vulgar words exist in every language.


I'm American, and I've never heard the bathroom referred to as St. John's.

In situations like these, I tend to lengthen out the phrase.


The room used for defecation is almost always referred to by euphemism.

I'm English, and would probably use 'toilet' most of the time, and always in the context of a private home.


I can only think of context using insofar as or insofar that.

The form insofar is American English; the standard form in British and other English is 'in so far'.


As others have said, "ten of six", though not used in many English speaking areas, would be understood as 5:50.

"Ten of six" probably means 5:50 but I have not heard it before.


Certainly many usage guides have advised against use of this "singular they" on various "logical" grounds.

Second one  (for writing purpose), if I believe the "THEY/THEIR (SINGULAR)" article.


This may be overly obvious, but in American English, saying "you're welcome" is certainly polite and standard.

I'm not sure how "Not at all" sounds in response to "thank you".

Most style guides recommend against using the slash in phrases like “X and/or Y”, as well as  “this is hard/impossible to do”.


If you understand yourself and your enemy, you will be far more likely to win any battle.

Another meaning behind this quote aside from probabilities of winning a theoretical battle is the importance of knowing/understanding others.

First, let me say I've no experience doing battle with Bermuda grass.


Just about anything can be grown indoors without natural sunlight.

We have quite a few people here who have grown peppers and small tomatoes indoors and in pots.


Chances are picking the seeds once it's gone to seed isn't going to actually encourage new growth.

Simple answer is yes, flower shoots on lettuce is a sure sign of bolting.

It appears as though it has likely started to bolt.


Dirt can mean pretty much anything, from good to poor quality soil.

Use coco peat - It's an organic soil derived from coconut husks for garden vegetables and plants which is Eco-friendly.


If you can get over the "ick factor," you have an easily-applied source of organic nitrogen fertilizer close at hand.

The NPK numbers on the fertilizer represents the percent, by weight, of Nitrogen, P2O5 and K2O, respectively.


The point of aerating your pile is to get oxygen to the microbes that break down the organic matter.

Your pile will compost without turning it, but it goes faster if you turn it.


I bought a book, which talks about this, so here's an answer to my own question.

Well I wouldn't risk it, not in a cold compost system.


Aloes, like most succulents, are very hardy and will withstand considerable neglect .

Some of the guys at my office have potted aloe plants.


This looks a lot like an invitation to a No True Scottsman argument.

I concur with @T.E.D; the question is a "no True Scotsman" bar bet.

I believe Alexander lost heart after his horse, Bucephelus, died from a wound received in the battle against Porus.


Yes, this is true and yes, in most cases indefinite articles indeed developed from numerals, as @MGN already said.

Indefinite articles developed from numerals, and the definite articles developed from demonstratives.


Preserving grammaticality and preserving meaning of the sentence are two different things.

In fact, you can remove pretty much and preserve grammaticality if you don't care about preserving meaning.


In some nowadays Indo-European languages you can still see rests of base-20 numeral systems.

Modern Englishes, and many other well-known languages, use base 10 (ie decimal) systems of numerals.


The difficulty arises not from the various linguistic properties of the language pair as many here suggest.

It depends on generally syntactic structure of two languages and -yes- some pragmatic issues.


In English, certainly the most common use of do is Do-Support.

In traditional grammar, the word doing is a participle in all your examples.


A caveat: I'm experiencing the tail end of a three day migraine.

I agree with the commentators that your question is a little confusing.

Cats may or may not lick a person based on all kinds of things.


How could be you so sure that the fish died a natural death.

In my 200 L fresh water tank, which is an aggressive tank, fish occasionally get harassed to death.


First, double-check the dog's body language to make sure that it is truly aggressive.

First, you should realize that this is not you or your dog's problem.


The appropriate pH level of the water does vary a bit by fish, but too acidic can definitely kill them.

Regular dish washing fluid is great for removing grease, as it not only dissolves it but also binds it.
