I created the mast of a ship with a sail, flag and several ropes. Sail, flag and some ropes have cloth modifier.  I parent them all to empty, but when I move empty, only the mast and ropes without the cloth modifier moves. And all of the objects that have cloth modifier remain in place. It looks parent does not work with them.  I am allready using pinned vertices, it works fine. But I need to be able to move the mast with a sail, not sail separately from the mast.  Why is this happening and how to fix it?
how do you make clothes move along with your model? Do you rig the model first and then parent it to the body of the character then click cloth simulation? I am a little bit confused with the process. Thanks for the help.
Probability that no two consecutive heads occur? A fair coin is tossed $10$ times. What is the probability that no two   consecutive tosses are heads?   Possibilities are (dont mind the number of terms):  $H TTTTTTH$, $HTHTHTHTHTHTHT$.  But except for those,  let $y(n)$ be the number of sequences that start with $T$  $T _$, there are two options, $T$ and $H$ so,  $y(n) = y(n - 1) + x(n-1) = y(n - 1) + y(n - 2)$  Let $x(n)$ be the number of sequences that start with $H$,   $H _$ the next option is only $T$ hence,  $x(n) = y(n - 1)$   The total number of sequences $F(n)$ is:  $$F(n) = y(n) + x(n) = 2y(n - 1) + y(n - 2)$$  We are after $F(10)$,  $$F(10) = 2y(9) + y(8)$$  $$F(3) = 2y(2) + y(1) = 1 + 4 = 5$$  $$F(4) = 2y(3) + y(2) = 6 + 2 = 8$$  But I'm not quite sure where this will take me though. I wanted to discuss my intuition of why we formulate the concept of continuity in terms of pre-image of open set is open instead of images for example if we consider $f(x) = c$ where $c$ is some constant, then that should be continuous, but if we formulated continuity in terms of images it won't be continuous. Is the reason we do it that way, because pre-images will always guarantee that function in the domain can only have $1$ value? $G$ is a finite group such that $|G|=n$. Let $p$ be the smallest prime such that $p|n$. If $H\triangleleft G$ such that $|H|=p$, then prove that $H\subset Z(G)$.  My Work:  Since $|H|$ is a prime $H\cong \mathbb{Z}/(p)$. Hence $H$ is cyclic and abelian. I was stuck afterwards. Can anyone please give me a hint? To get rid of dust that had gathered near the fan, I put a vacuum cleaner to the air intake (with the computer turned off).  This removed the dust.  It also caused the fan to rotate at a fairly high speed. Quite faster than normal speed, judging from the sound.  Do I risk destroying stuff by doing this? I heard myself saying something was "tickety-boo", meaning good, successful, or satisfactory. Does anyone know where this strange-sounding phrase originated? is it problematic to cluster across two datacenters w/aag? In general is it problematic to cluster across two datacenters that are up to 15-miles apart?  For this one particular project the approach is the following?   2-Node Failover Cluster across two datacenters, one node per datacenter local SAN disks, no shared disks 'Node and FileShare Majority' at third location on-campus employ AAG, failover will be manual; asynchronous mode   Is anyone implementing something like this with success??!?  Thanks so much for the help!! Is there any way, shape, or form that ultraviolet light is recorded by a digital sensor?  Ideally, this question is related strictly to the sensor, without even a glass lens in between which could cut or block UV light.  But of course I don't take pictures with a bare sensor, I also have a lens, so I'd also like to know how much UV gets to the sensor to begin with. Grid System in LaTeX Has the concept of non-integer $(n+m)$-dimensional spacetime ever been investigated by theoretical physicists? The following image serves to aid the reader in understanding the "privileged character" of $3+1$-spacetime.    The wikipedia article on , and the  "The priveleged character of $3+1$-dimensional spacetime" in particular, made me think a bit about the possibility that we might live in a non-integer amount of spatial and/or time dimensions.   The notion of attaching a non-negative real number to a metric space has at least mathematically already been described by such concepts as "" and "".   This may sound silly/ignorant/absurd to professional practicing theoretical physicists. To me (a layman), however, it doesn't sound much stranger than the idea of wrapping up six extra dimensions (which is, from what I understand, considered to be a serious possibility by those who study $10$-dimensional String Theory) into intricate shapes called "Calabi-Yau Manifolds".   Has any research on $(a +b)$-dimensional spacetime (where $a,b \in \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0} $) ever been done? If so, what where the findings? If not, why not? Simple image editor? How to be granted root rights while browsing files/directories with Nautilus I'd like to know if there a way to be granted root rights while using Nautilus 2.30 ?   For example I'd like to move some old folders of long unused users from the home directory - remains of previous distros (Debian).   Of course I can open a terminal, but I want to know if it is possible to do that with a mouse in Nautilus. How to duplicate a div in JavaScript Proving the set of points at which a function diverges to $\infty$ is countable Let $f\colon\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$. Prove that the set    $$\{x \mid \mbox{if $y$ converges to $x$, then $f(y)$ converges to $\infty$}\}$$ is countable.   My book told me to consider  $g(x)=\arctan(f(x))$, then it said "it is easy to see the set is countable." But I still can't understand what it mean. How do I create a hinged door that opens and closes in Blender? If I knew how to do this, then it would help me also create moving control surfaces on model aircraft, such as the rudder and horizontal stabilizers. Problem with tcolorbox package Restore Missing "Settings" (gnome-control-center) Icon in Ubuntu 18.04 I have been running Ubuntu 18.04 for a couple of weeks. I upgraded from 16.04 and all went smoothly.   I am not sure what I changed, but this morning I noticed that the "Settings" Icon that launches gnome-control-center is missing from "Show Applications" and the applications menu as well. When I searched from "Show Applications" for gnome-control-center or just settings, nothing showed up.   So, I figured I must have accidentally removed it and figured a reinstall of the package would resolve the issue. I have searched and found several postings where this worked. I tried:  sudo apt install gnome-control-center   And then rebooted - which reinstalled the gnome-control-center and I could then launch it from the command line. However, there was still no Settings Icon in any of the menus.   I also tried many other suggestions including:  sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-control-center sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop --reinstall sudo apt-get install unity-control-center   However, none of these has been successful in restoring the icon into "Show Applications" or any applications menu.   Anyone have any suggestions on something I haven't tried? Would be much appreciated.  Or, is there a way to just manually recreate the icon?   Output of locate gnome-control-center.desktop:  /usr/share/applications/gnome-control-center.desktop  /home/dccrens/.local/share/applications/gnome-control-center.desktop /home/dccrens/.gnome/apps/gnome-control-center.desktop   I am running Ubuntu 18.04 desktop on kernel 4.15.0-45-generic. Mac Mini (Mid-2011), 16GB SSD, 16GB RAM, El Capitan (v10.11.6)  The Mac ran fine until I upgraded to Sierra. The latest Mac OS conflicted with most of the specialized apps I use every day, So I immediately returned to El Capitan.  Activity monitor shows that two "Installer/Installer.app" items are always running and are they major users of all of my available memory. Consequently, all my others apps become unresponsive.  I run Disk Utility, and the Installer.app show up there as .dmg files; but I cannot erase, delete, or unmount them. None of my 3rd party app can remove the installers.  My Mac Mini, which should be running super-fast (as it used to), now runs dreadfully and disgustingly slow. I a truly upset with Apple for this kind of garbage. To get their help: $$$. How do you plot time on the X axis in excel? I need to plot the decay of my phone's battery against time over night. My starting time is 23:17:47 and my ending one is 07:05:49. I don't have any issue in changing the time format in the current one, selecting an XY chart and plotting time on the X axis.   The problem arises because Excel doesn't start the X axis at 23:17:47, but instead at 00:00:00, so my first value is drawn from the end of the graph and the goes back at the beginning when time values are over 00:00:00.   In other words, how do I set up the min time value to 23:17:47 and the max to 07:05:49 in excel? In the category $\mathbf{Set}$ is "the product of an empty set of sets a one-element set"? I was reading  on Category Theory and it said (paraphrased to add context):     Exercise 4: Explain why in $\textbf{Set}$ (the Category of Sets), the product of an empty set of sets is a one-element set.   which I think is incorrect. The product of two empty sets (or any number) is empty because we are considering:  $$ \emptyset \times \emptyset = \{ (a,b) : a \in \emptyset, b \in \emptyset \} = \emptyset$$  where $a \in \emptyset , b \in \emptyset$ are false, so the above is the $\emptyset$ which is NOT a one element set (its a zero element set).   This should be trivial so I am assuming I am somewhere mis reading the natural language of the exercise. Someone help me catch where is it and what the answer should be? i.e. whats being asked and the answer? Does a wing in a potential flow have lift?
