I am attempting to use custom bokeh for an effect in which words appear in out of focus lights. After many experimentations i still can't manage to get it to work, i believe this is largely because of my aperture?  I would be so grateful for some advice as this would look great in a film I'm making.
Custom bokeh shapes need a large aperture. The max aperture my lens can reach is f3.5. Is it big enough for a custom bokeh? I tried but it doesn't work.
How does the subject-verb agreement work when a singular noun describes a plural one? Of the following, which sentence is righter?  The computers is a good choice. The computers are a good choice.  Is there a rule about these types of formations? Please explain. Where did the brush size lock go for sculpt mode in 2.8??? I have this setup:   The mesh is only the visible top side, with a mirror modifier for the bottom part. Now I want to unwrap it like in the picture. I want the inner circle (red) to go to the top of the UV map...  The problem is that no matter what automatic unwrapping I use, it never works as intended.  The closest I've gotten was by using "follow quads", but that skewed the UV map a lot:   I used the result from the second image and manually adjusted the vertices with a lot of scaling and "align auto", but its very far from perfect as you can see in the first image.  Here's what I want exactly:   The uv vertices should be distributed evenly (horizontally) The middle line (yellow) should be on a "natural" y height (so there's no stretching)   I hope it's clear what I want to achieve. I'm sure there must be some automatic way to perfectly align and distribute the UVs in this way.  By the way: If you look closely you can see that I already placed a uv seam (aligned with the green y axis in the screenshot) but that didn't really help.

MySQL convert date string to Unix timestamp About inter-city and inter-country bus services in Europe I am planning a month-long trip in mid-June to Europe; mainly Italy, Switzerland, France and Spain in that order. I'll like to know about a bus service that I can use while in a country, and to travel from one country to another.   I found this  provided by Eurolines, can this be used within a country for eg.Rome to Florence? I'll really appreciate if somebody can guide which bus service are available in each country and can help travel from one country to another or is it better to book point to point rail tickets. When using a new Windows 8 search bar:    What is the syntax of the search expression? Is it possible to use wildcards like "*", "?" or any other special symbol?  For example, when searching with Google i can use:   '-' (minus) for excluding certain words; "quoted phrase" for exact phrase matching. There is a way to change top bar background opacity in ubuntu 20.04 lts.  I installed the hide top bar extension but is not a option to change it. How do I logout from a non-registered account? I have a registered StackOverflow account which I normally log into using OpenID.  Recently I logged out in order to post a question anonymously (supplying a fake name and of my secondary email addresses).  The problem now is that I'm logged in to StackOverflow as this "dummy" user, unable to see a way to log out.  The top menu normally has a "logout" link, but when you aren't fully registered this link is replaced with "register".  There is no "logout" link for me. :(  So..   When logged out there is a "login" link. When logged in there is a "logout" link. When "logged in" with an unregistered account, there is only a "register" link (no "logout"). What does the "Alternative Character Sheet" mean when it asks you for the "Maximum Hit Dice" and the "Remaining Hit Dice"? I am trying to fill in the "Alternative Character Sheet" (one of the ). It asks me for my "Maximum Hit Dice" and the "Remaining Hit Dice". What do these terms mean? I've got two branches that are fully merged together. However, after the merge is done, I realise that one file has been messed up by the merge (someone else did an auto-format, gah), and it would just be easier to change to the new version in the other branch, and then reinsert my one line change after bringing it over into my branch. So what's the easiest way in Git to do this? I studied propositional logic, and everyday I see applications of what I learned on the internet, in mathematical books and miscelaneous resources.        One particular case is sentences in the form $a \rightarrow b$ , that is, material implications. While I fully understand the mathematical logic approach to the study of those kinds of formulas, sometimes I get confused about what someone ( using implication sentences in the ordinary language ) is trying to say.        In ordinary language, I often see affirmations in the form of an implication.  One example would be someone affirming that "the moon is made of cheese" $\rightarrow 2+2=4$. [ Kleene, Mathematical Logic ].      I perfectly understand that if we choose the interpretation that gives the antecedent as false ( and the consequent as true ) we get that the whole implication is also true, but I would like to understand EXACTLY what he is trying to say when he AFFIRMS a sentence in the form of an implication. Is he saying that under the commonly agreed interpretation of that sentence ( antecedent = false, consequent = true ), that implication becomes true?      Another example, totally different, would be someone affirming that $x \in \mathbb{N} \rightarrow x \in \mathbb{N}$ or $x \in \mathbb{Z}_{&lt;0}$. Is he now affirming the same kind of sentence or saying something totally different?      When he affirms that sentence, is he saying that he finds the sentence to be a tautology?   Why didn't he say that?          Then, with these two examples we have an affirmation of the same kind of sentence (implication) meaning completely different things, in one case he affirms to say that under the commonly agreed interpretation of the sentence, it is true. In another case, he affirms to say that there's no interpretation that makes the sentence false.       Am I missing something? There is really that ambiguity in ordinary language, when people are affirming sentences?  Can't I just take some general instance of the affirmation of a sentence in the form $a \rightarrow b$ in ordinary language and know exactly what he's trying to say, regardless of the propositions he chooses the substitute $a$ and $b$ for?       Thanks a bunch. Enroll Apple Developer Program under 18 I've seen a lot of questions like this throughout the web but they're mostly from 2 or 3 years ago, so I decided to ask to have some updated answers.   I'm 16 and I want to start publishing and using the benefits that comes with the Developer Program. In the legal agreement says that I should be over 18, and I'm not so, i can't do it. I've contacted the apple developer support and they told me that I should use a account in my father's name. We reside in Brazil. With that, I had some doubts:   Will the name on the App Store be mine or my father's? In the future, when I'm 18, this account can be transferred to my name?   Besides that, if someone has any advice or (legal) workaround I'd appreciate it, thanks So I want to texture clothing for example that I created using the mirror modifier. But I want the 2 sides of the clothing piece to have individual designs for instance but it is not possible since the original and the mirrored surfaces use the same UV-coordinates. How can I change that? folder content doesn't get refreshed automatically in ubuntu 14.04 I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and when I'm doing experiments which creates new files inside a particular folder X. But I can't see these new files inside X without refreshing X.  I have increased the count to 1M in  /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches   but still the issue is not fixed.   How to fix it?

I am currently part of the Stormcloaks and just finished Rescue from Fort Neugard. The Jarl wants to make me a thane and is telling me to buy a house, but his steward is telling me the house is unavailable due to some unpleasantness. I have already completed the 5 quests to help people of Eastmarch.  From what I can see online, I need to begin the Blood on the Ice quest. It is supposed to begin by walking in the windhelm graveyard at night, however every time I go there I don't see anyone.  Someone online said it's possible to miss the scene that triggers the quest if you go into Windhelm and leave without triggering it, but I am hoping this isn't the case. I am in Windhelm a lot because the Enchanting table, Blacksmith, and Fence are all in one location, so find it very convenient. The lady who is supposed to be murdered in the Graveyard (Susanna) is still alive in Candlehearth Hall, so I think I'm not bugged.  The wiki suggests that you have to "The quest will initiate after you entered Windhelm four times from another hold", however I have entered and left quite a few times during the course of my game and know I've been here way over 4 times.  I tried pickpocketing the key, however I don't automatically get the quest on entering the house, and there are a bunch of "Investigate InvestigationTarget" spots in the house. Also, I was reading the Butcher's journal and he was saying he almost caught Susanna when she left Candlehearth, however I have never seen her leave Candlehearth. Perhaps my glitch is she never leaves? I'll have to head to Windhelm on another character and check it out.  Also, I saw something online saying this quest won't trigger if you go past 245 in-game days. Would someone be able to confirm this for me? (Have the XBox version, so waiting 245 days is annoying)  Can someone tell me the exact steps to begin this quest? Word for "things which exist" Does metric signature affect the stress energy tensor?
