Biography


Hay was the son of William Harry Hay, 19th Earl of Erroll, and his wife Eliza Amelia Gore. His maternal grandfather was General the Hon. Sir Charles Gore, KH, GCB (1793 – 1869), a Waterloo officer, a son of the 2nd Earl of Arran and a brother of the Duchess of Inverness.


He succeeded his father in the earldom in 1891.


Lord Hay was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Royal Horse Guards on 7 July 1869. He was promoted to lieutenant on 19 August 1871, to captain on 11 September 1875, to major on 1 July 1881, to lieutenant-colonel on 24 September 1887, and to colonel on 18 January 1895.[1] Following the outbreak of the Second Boer War in late 1899, he volunteered for active service and was commissioned in the Imperial Yeomanry. He took part in the Battle of Paardeberg (February 1900), following which he was in charge of prisoners from Piet Cronjé's army.[2] In early March 1900 he took command of a yeomanry brigade in the South Africa Field Force, with the rank of brigadier general. The following year he was in June 1901 appointed Assistant Adjutant-General.[3] He was later an Honorary Major-General in the British Army and a Lieutenant-Colonel commanding the Royal Horse Guards.


Lord Erroll served in the Conservative administration of Arthur Balfour as a Lord-in-waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) from 1903 to 1905. In 1901 he was made a Knight of the Thistle.



Family


Lord Erroll married in 1875 Mary Caroline, daughter of Edmund L'Estrange by his wife Harriet Susan Beresford Lumley-Savile, sister of Richard George Lumley-Savile, 9th Earl of Scarbrough, and daughter of Frederick Lumley-Savile and of Charlotte De la Poer-Beresford (a daughter of George de la Poer Beresford, Bishop of Kilmore).


He died in July 1927, aged 75, and was succeeded in the earldom by his eldest son Victor Hay. Lady Erroll died in 1934.

I have an remote sensed image which has 6 bands (including NDVI band), I want to display each band separately, but have no idea how to do. I have seen some questions similar here but none worked for me. The original image (has 6 bands) is: I want to display the band 6 which should be like this: But I tried gdal_translate, and couldn't get the correct result.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
