Quote from Brucie_kun

What's the difference between 'slash' and 'yaoi'?

slash is more an a fan art in my opinion. Slash are informal yaoi and uses characters that already exist. Like NarutoXSasuke using Naruto and sasuke from Naruto series to create a yaoi manga. OR DeanXSam from Supernatural, that would either be yaoi or gay fiction.

Yaoi have characters created by their mangaka.

My favorite slash is Jamchopsil and Nanick, those two are just too damn hot for slash fiction.
Example of slash:
See Jamchopsil is a slave and a submissive while Nanick is a master and a dominant. In the first chapter, Nanick forces Jamchopsil to do bad things and resulting in hurting Jamchopsil. Jamchopsil ends up sick and in bed for days on the brink of life and death. Then it was here Nanick realizes he over-wored Jamchopsil and his true love for Jamchopsil. So Nanick got more lovers to play around with so Jamchopsil don't have to be so overworked.

this is not about cannibalism...please get back on topic

Quote from Toto

I think it is exactly the topic. I see nothing wrong.

Quote from story645

What is it called when you have the integral over an interval [-a,a] you can double it, as in times it by two, to get 2*integral from [0,a]?

It's a property of integration over even symmetric functions

Ah, right... symmetric functions.
So easy, but I just couldn't think of it. Thank you very much.

Regarding MLA format citations, is April spelled out in the date accessed for websites, or is it abbreviated Apr.?

Delete this one, please.
Thanks 🙂

There are times when you will miss what you never had. I wonder how you will find what you so desperately need.

A quick question to any statisticians out there...

We can do post hoc analyses (e.g., Tukey test) if we're doing a one-way ANOVA.
If I recall corrected, you can't do a post hoc analysis if you're doing a two-way ANOVA since you have two variables. Even SPSS can't compute that.

My questions....
how can I explain if I have to evaluate a paper on someone who did a Tukey test when its main data analysis is based on a Two way ANOVA? Is that person doing the appropriate analysis on this? I think this person individually analyzed one of the variable into a Tukey test.

Another thing that confuses me is.. if you want to compare the differences in the interaction effects from a Two-way ANOVA, we're supposed to do individual t-tests on each interactions... Am I correct? Or is there any other way?

Thanks. I'll give you a virtual cookie for answering my questions.

Line 4 "to sleep"
Line 9 "Gently touching"
Line 10 "As they call her"
Line 12 "Will you look for me?"
Line 16 "Just like she longs for summer's light"

Bright just didn't make much sense there.

[color=green]"Officially, this machine doesn't exist, you didn't get it from me,

Line 3 - I don't think 'Graciously' fits there.
Line 4 - 'to sleep'

Line 7, 8 don't make sense to me, but I might be wrong. In the first one, it says the flower blooms, but the second one says it's gone. The rest of the stanza seems to say it's gone.

Line 9 - touching
Line 10 - recalled
Line 12 - look

I think line 14, 15 will make better sense if you say 'Waiting, in her... crown/for... change'

Line 16 - 'light' does fit better
Line 17 will make more sense if you say - I am longing for you/a never ending dream.

It'll help if I know what you are trying to convey.
^This is just my view though. I might be completely and utterly wrong. 🙂

It makes perfect sense. Winter annual plants grow and die in the winter... ish. Besides, each stanza starts with "a flower blooms in the winter"; so, it's supposed to have that theme going for it... even if it didn't.

Recalled vs. call depends on what the author intends; however, the poem needs help on tense agreement. So, if the meaning is "recalled", it should be "recall".

I think line 14, 15 will make better sense if you say 'Waiting, in her... crown/for... change'

No, it would not.

Line 17 will make more sense if you say - I am longing for you/a never ending dream.

Again, it makes perfect sense as is. Most poems don't need to define its pronouns... besides, it lessens what impact there is.

I meant to point out that the fact that it blooms in the winter, and then goes away with the breath of spring seems to say that it is a winter flower., while the first stanza says it is a spring flower - I'm confused.

Line 14,15 is just my opinion. It makes sense both ways.

Line 17/18 do not make sense, even if you say that poems have some grammatical leeway. Who's longing for 'you'?What does the 'dream' refer to?

It does not... the flower blossoms in the winter and awaits the spring... that could mean that it is awaiting its own inevitable death or some other representation spring gives (middle age or whatever). If you want to be confused with the poem... you should look at the last stanza... as it would already be dead in the summer. Of course, the author could be trying to convey a message that summer is just its carcass in the sun... sort of an oxymoron (desiring a happy death).

Line 17/18 do not make sense, even if you say that poems have some grammatical leeway. Who's longing for 'you'?What does the 'dream' refer to?

The poem does not need to say who "you" is... it's not necessary. As for what "dream" refers to... you have to figure that out yourself... not saying that there is a meaning behind "dream", but you have to make your own meaning. So, it's fine. It may seems like the poem is trying too hard to appear deep... or it's a cop-out. Either way, it still works.

Oh, never ending => never-ending.

That's the beauty of poems - everyone sees different things. I stated my opinion only, as something of a grammarbot, as well as a poet (I know, strange combo 😛 )

Anybody has any suggestions for an organiser software for Windows 7? And for the college students from US - is it possible to switch from BA to BSc as a sophomore/junior?

Thanks 🙂
