How to improve quality of bokeh especially lights?
How can I render bokeh circles?  Nothing I do seems to work.   I tried using an empty as the focus point for a cube, with some point lamps in the background with about 2000 strength, but it doesn't work. It just makes everything blurry.  I also raised the blades to 4/5/6/12, and it doesn't make a difference.  I'm using Blender 2.74.

I always use rename, copy , but feel it is quite slow. Any better way? How can adding a 2nd IV make the 1st IV significant? I have what is probably a simple question, but it is baffling me right now, so I am hoping you can help me out.  I have a least squares regression model, with one independent variable and one dependent variable. The relationship is not significant. Now I add a second independent variable. Now the relationship between the first independent variable and the dependent variable becomes significant.  How does this work? This is probably demonstrating some issue with my understanding, but to me, but I do not see how adding this second independent variable can make the first significant. Not able to calculate sum of multiple column where file data in different format .csv I have a scenario where i want to calculate sum of column   SAL|CAL|TAG|VAL 12.11"|"1.1"|"2.1"|"1.1 13.11"|"1.1"|"2.2"|"2.2 14.11"|"1.1"|"2.4"|"2.4   My below code not giving output giving output as 0.00  I need output for this column CAL VAL  awk -F'|' '{T+=$2} END { printf "%.2f\n", T }' demo.txt   output :  6.7 5.7 Is it possible to import css stylesheets into a html page using Javascript? If so, how can it be done?  P.S the javascript will be hosted on my site, but I want users to be able to put in the &lt;head&gt; tag of their website, and it should be able to import a css file hosted on my server into the current web page. (both the css file and the javascript file will be hosted on my server). Can command substitution be nested in variable substitution? I'm using pdflatex, and use \includegraphics to include content of figures from PDF. PDF are exported from InkScape.  \begin{figure} [!h]     \centering     \includegraphics[height=3cm]{fig/SUSAN.pdf} \end{figure}   Included PDF or source SVG has same colors. Green has always RGB value (0, 255, 0). Problem occurs when I include this files from LaTeX. In output PDF on some pages colorspace is darker. Even same image on other page has different colourity.  My PDF  . As you can see on page 7 (11 in PDF) USAN areas are bright green, but then on page 5 (9 in PDF) are green points on corners more darker. Removing the password from a PDF file I have a couple of ebooks as PDFs with passwords, however my ebook reader (sony prs600) doesn't seem to support PDFs with passwords.  What is the easiest of removing the password from a PDF (I know the password, which presumably helps a lot).  It's a bit annoying buying a book and then only being able to read it in front of a computer. I've placed a command block making it day all the time. I want to turn it off, but I've lost it. What's the quickest way to find it? "He didn't know where New Jersey was" I know the past tense carries the past tense in every dependent clause, but referring specifically to places or to things that are eternal, like the Earth, seems a bit weird and therefore we sometimes (I believe incorrectly) say     He didn't know that New Jersey was actually on the East Coast.   Because it still is. Or     He thought the Earth was round.   So is it square now?  Logically speaking, would you consider the use of past tense here a bit confusing in a day-to-day speech in these examples? Would you instinctively opt for using the present tense? What's the name for the property of a function $f$ that means $f(f(x))=x$? I can think of several examples of functions such that twice application of the function is equivalent to no application of it.   Additive inverse Multiplicative inverse Fourier transform Complex conjugation Any group built up from $\mathbb{Z}_2$, applying (one of) the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ parts' operation.   "Idempotent" came to mind, but that's wrong. It means $f(f(x)) = f(x)$, not $f(f(x))=x$.  What is the word for this "flip-flop" property? I have a register \count0=&lt;some-value&gt; and need to get the letter of the alphabet on the index of \count0. That is, if it is 1, I need an A, if 2, a B, etc.  Is this possible?  I'm reluctant sharing an MWE as it seems to overcomplicate things a bit:  \begin{tikzpicture} \node[regular polygon, regular polygon sides=7, minimum size=5cm] (A) {}; \foreach \i in {1,...,7}{     \count0=8     \advance\count0 by -\i     \node[circle, label=above:\scriptsize\the\count0, fill=black, minimum size=4pt, inner sep=0pt] (\the\count0) at (A.corner \i) {}; } \end{tikzpicture}   With the tikz package and the shapes.geometric tikz library.  This draws seven nodes labelled 1 .. 7 on a circle. I need to have A .. G instead of 1 .. 7. Can I travel after visa's intended travel date? I just finished applying for my visa and had originally planned to travel on the 30th of September, so I put that as my intended date of travel. But now I will not be leaving until close to the second week of October.  How does this work, will I still be able to travel with this visa even though it says I intended to arrive on September 30th? Where is the default folder for Apps? I am relatively new to the linux world. I use OSX at home and Windows at work. In those worlds, there is a default folder for applications (C:\Program Files, /Applications). Is there any such directory in Ubuntu?   I understand that this is not very important and any location in the file system should be ok, but was just wondering whether there are such standard locations (I think there would be one). For instance where is Firefox or Libre Office (that are installed by default)?  Got this question when I was trying to install eclipse. Downloaded the zip, and was wondering... Deseasonalizing count data I used stl() in R to decompose count data into trend, seasonal &amp; irregular components. The resulting trend values are not integers anymore. I have the following questions:   Is stl() an appropriate way to deseasonalize count data? Since the resulting trend is not interger valued anymore, can I use lm() to model the trend components? I've been studying the Huddleston and Pullum book for four months now. So far only one thing confuses me: the identity of gerund. Is it a noun or a verb?        His constant smoking upset me.  smoking seems  noun because of adjective constant.   Him/His constantly smoking upset me. smoking seems to be verb because of adverb constantly.   Him/His smoking cigars upset me. smoking seems to be a verb because of object cigars.      "His smoking upset me." So is this smoking gerund a noun or verb? Because there is no differentiation, is it both verb and noun? Maybe it's new word category?  Also his seems to be both  sometimes a subject and at other times a possessive determiner. Is that correct? Align equation left Let $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}$. Show that $\sup(A \cup B) = \max\{\sup A, \sup B\}$   Here's what I did so far:  Let $\sup A, \sup B$, and $\sup (A \cup B)$ denote upper bounds of $A,B$, and $A \cup B$, respectively. If $x \in A$, then $x \le \sup A$. If $x \in B$, then $x \le \sup B$. In either case, $x \in (A \cup B)$. So either $x \le \sup A$ or $x \le \sup B$. In either case, $x \le \max \{\sup A, \sup B\}$. So $\max \{\sup A, \sup B\}$ is the upper bound of $A \cup B$, which means $\sup (A \cup B) \le \max\{\sup A, \sup B\}$.  I do not know if there's a better way to go at it, but all I did was show the inequality. Can I do this, and show the reverse inequality? If so, how can I go about doing that?
