And he spoke and disputed against the Hellenists [Ἑλληνιστάς]. But they were seeking to kill him. (Acts 9:29, ESV) This is in Jerusalem, and it is obviously that this verse points out Hellenistic (Greek speaking) Jews as opposed to Hebrew/Aramaic speaking Jews. Why is Paul's conflict with the ...

Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be two finite measures on $\mathbb{R} ^d$. For every $s \in \mathbb{R} ^d$, $|s|=1$, denote by $\mu _s$ and $\nu _s$ the orthogonal projections of $\mu$ and $\nu$ respectively on the line $\{ as: a \in \mathbb{R} \}$. That is, for $a < b$ $$ \mu _s ( [a,b]) = \mu (\{x\in \mat...

Acts 9 tells us Paul went to Damascus to persecute the followers of the Way. But in previous Chapter (Acts 8) We read that they had fled to Samaria and Judea following Stephen's death.

It's not geometric or telescoping, so I cannot use those...

This is a novel I read - possibly only partially - sometime in the late 90s, and during one attempt to move my library or another it slipped out of existence.

In this device, I'm using this 26MHz crystal. The datasheet only specifies the minimum crystal drive level as 500 μW. The above shown crystal has a maximum drive level of 300 μW. I understand that the crystal drive level is the maximum power dissipated in the crystal. So, the datasheet of the U...

The exhaust velocity of a rocket is given by: $v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2*k}{k-1}*R*T_c*(1-(P_e/P_c))^{\frac{k-1}{k}}}$ The velocity tends to a finite asymptote as $P_c$ increases. Therefore, the specific kinetic energy of the exhaust jet, $\frac{1}{2}v_e^2$ (kinetic energy per unit mass of exhaust jet)...

First, for any natural integers $x$ and $y$, we define $x\mid y$ by : $\exists k\in\mathbb{Z},y=kx$ We can then define the negation of the divisibility $x\nmid y$ by : $\neg(\exists k\in\mathbb{Z},y=kx)$ Which is equivalent to : $\forall k\in\mathbb{Z},y\neq kx$ Let $(a,b)\in\mathbb{N}^*$.

You created vanity p2pkh-addresses in the past, you have access to the private keys (WIF) and addresses (1...). Now you want to spend the funds securely and in an offline way (you do not want to enter your private key into an ONLINE computer). I imagine something like: You enter the p2pkh addre...

Weve just started playing this as a group and have a question on victory point cards. One person was on 8 points but had two cards that state: 1 Victory Point. Reveal this card on your turn if, with it, you reach the number of points required for victory Can the two cards be played together? I ...

For information specific to the Curse of Strahd campaign please use spoiler tags because I am a player and not the GM Two notes first: We are playing the Curse of Strahd, but I don't know what percentage of it is by the book and what is homebrew / improvised. I'm not a DM, and I would strongly p...

When my mother passed she left an IRA account that got split up among the kids. I just read an article with the sentence: "If you leave retirement money to your kids or anyone other than your spouse, they’re typically required to empty the accounts by the end of the 10th year following the year ...

Complete the list by placing the correct flag in the empty rectangle below. Explain.

Joining NATO is governed by Article 10 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which states: The Parties may, by unanimous agreement, invite any other European State in a position to further the principles of this Treaty and to contribute to the security of the North Atlantic area to accede to this Treaty...

Options implied volatility (IV) and skew can be calculated using the current option prices. I ask to what extent those observed variables are expected to deviate from the "expected" or predicted values for those parameters. Specifically, it is reasonable to assume that the current IV is a functio...

Question: Draw a monopoly graph, with upward sloping marginal cost and on the graph label the area that would be consumer surplus if price were equal to marginal cost, but is producer surplus under monopoly. Answer: Confusion: I have trouble understanding why CS is the rectangle. I visualize the...

I was recently trying to verify certain things in the setting of Locally compact 2nd countable Hausdorff spaces. I thought that this is a natural collection of spaces more general than metric spaces, but I think that following the metrization theorems that such spaces must be metrizable with a co...

I'm still pretty new at Python and working on a small database program, where at the start of the program new files are imported from another folder (approx. 2000), and older files are backed up. Subfolders of the import folder sometimes contain multiple files with the same name (I always want ju...

The reasoning I've been given is that high extracellular $[K^+]$ increases the $E_v$ of potassium; therefore, membrane potential increases and the threshold for action potentials is more easily reached. Conversely, high extracellular $[Ca^{2+}]$ increases the accumulated positive charge outside t...

Watching old "newsreel"-like films from the 1950s and 1960s, and seeing this in old comics and from other Swedish sources, I have formed the perception that many/most/all kitchens in Sweden, prior to some sort of "boom" of modern kitchens in the 1950s and 1960s, had the working spaces lower than ...

If you were to design a self-powered USB hub, is there any sort of advantage to a 12V design instead of 5V? The logic being that if the source voltage were to drop a few volts (maybe 2-3V), a 12V regulator could still supply 5V, making the system less susceptible to failure if power were to fluct...

In larger cities in Dungeons & Dragons, just like in real life, murder is probably commonplace enough that the city guard would have specialists for investigating corpses that turn up similar to how we have homicide detectives. However, they would likely have a huge advantage over modern detectiv...

Blinking is a common practice since the early time of computing, especially for cursors. However, when I run strace to check their system calls, both a terminal emulator konsole and a shell bash, don't register any kind of timer (through timer_settime()), or interval timer (through setitimer()). ...

I need a grid made up of this hat in tikz. Here is the piece with three hats. Could you help? Can we use a tikzlibrary for tiling of this? \documentclass[border=3pt]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[rotate=-0] \def\ra{1} \coordinate(O) at(0,0); \...

The New York Times writes: Donald J. Trump is preparing to walk into a Manhattan courtroom as both a defendant and a candidate, making final plans for his arrest on Tuesday [...]. Why would he be arrested? Is there a danger of flight? That seems implausible, given that he has arranged his appea...

Are there any examples in the Bible of people being thankful that Jesus died, or promoting the practice of thanking God/Jesus for Jesus' death? I'm asking specifically about his death, not life or resurrection.

I have an ESP32 with a DAC pin that outputs a variable voltage between 0 and 3.3 V. I need to convert this signal to another voltage range: between -15 and +15 volts. This signal need to drive around 1 A (the more the better). What is the best way to achieve this in the simplest possible way? Not...

Analyzing a bunch of different photos of airliners sitting at Gates, I've noticed that some have flight controls that droop (due to no hydraulic power) and sometimes they stay leveled. Why is this? In the first image of the Japan airlines Boeing 787, the rudder and elevators clearly have no hyd...

I want to introduce a unique operator in my document. I basically want it to look like this: ⌜A⌝, where A is just an arbitrary statement. So '⌜⌝' is the operator. How can I produce the ⌜ and ⌝ symbols here? The closest I've gotten so far are the \lceil and \rceil commands, but they're not really ...

Consider the following scenario: Person A is employed by a large company and has the usual "everything you do while employed by us is owned by us" in their employment contract. Person B is self-employed and creates intellectual property (here let's assume software) in the natural course of their ...

My new employer offers the Mega Backdoor Roth option. After-tax contributions can be automatically & immediately converted to Roth within the 401(k), and can be rolled over to a Roth IRA at any time. I just did the Roth 401(k) to Roth IRA rollover for the first time. The 401(k) provider (Fidelity...

Is the なきゃ like referring to there not being something presently or something? Or is it more like [the hypothetical idea of not doing something][was good]...though even if it was that I don't think I understand.

I have a system of three non-linear differential equations of which one has a delay. Is it possible to convert such a system into (second-order) ODEs?

I would like to make this Version Control or GIT style branching with geometry nodes, so that the branch starting points and ending points were in random places of the line (but still not right next to each other or overlapping): I guess the first logical step is to make some 'Mesh line' compone...

I need to find the value of n but I get an error. I used this: Solve[ 4*ArcSin[Sqrt[(4 - (n^2))/(3*(n^2))]] - 2*ArcSin[Sqrt[(4 - (n^2))/3]] == 20.2826, n ] But I get this error: Solve::inex: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rat...

I have converted the inside of my home into a Macaw aviary with no cages, simply tall 4x4 posts mounted to moveable furniture dollies, then connected with 6' to 8' Elm and Aspen tree branches. I cover the dollies and floor with sheets, and in the evening shake the sheets into a large trash contai...

I can't figure out what the units are for the capacitors for this voltage regulator. I can't find anything in the datasheet that gives me a hint.

There are lots of questions posted about surprise and initative, but one scenario still seems ambiguous to me. If this has been answered, please link, as I couldn't find it. Scenario: A player is stealthy in such a way as to make it virtually impossible to be noticed (invisible, rolls a nat 20 o...
