I am wanting the ability to vertically align any cell within a table. This appears possible but only on a per column or row basis. At the moment I can horizontally align the contents of individual cells with the help of the \raggedleft and \centering commands. However, \multicolumn applies vertical alignment for the whole row and the longtabu environment can only specify the alignment type per column.  The following is an example of the table I want to create where both horizontal and vertical alignments need to be set for each cell instead of per row or column:  \documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{longtable}       \usepackage{tabu} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{multirow}  \newcolumntype{M}{m{\dimexpr 1\tabucolX+1\tabcolsep+\arrayrulewidth\relax}} \newcolumntype{P}{p{\dimexpr 1\tabucolX+1\tabcolsep+\arrayrulewidth\relax}} \newcolumntype{B}{b{\dimexpr 1\tabucolX+1\tabcolsep+\arrayrulewidth\relax}}  \newcolumntype{H}{&gt;{\begin{minipage}[b]{\hsize}}B&lt;{\end{minipage}}}  \begin{document}  \begin{longtabu} to 150mm [l] {|X[l]|X[l]|X[l]|} \hline  \multicolumn{1}{|P|}{ \lipsum[1]} &amp; \multicolumn{1}{H|}{\centering H: Center, V:Center} &amp; \multicolumn{1}{B|}{\raggedleft \multirow{1}{*}[-2\baselineskip]{H:Right, V:Bottom}} \tabularnewline \hline \multicolumn{1}{|P|}{\lipsum[1]} &amp; \multicolumn{1}{P|}{H: Left, V:Top} &amp; \multicolumn{1}{M|}{\centering H:Center, V:Center} \tabularnewline \hline \multicolumn{1}{|P|}{\lipsum[1]} &amp; \multicolumn{1}{M|}{\raggedleft H: Right, V:Center} &amp; \multicolumn{1}{B|}{H:Left, V:Bottom} \tabularnewline \hline  \tabuphantomline  \end{longtabu}  \end{document}   Update:  Attempting the solutions presented in "" won't work.  The first solution I believe simply adjusts the entire column by creating a new column type:  \newcolumntype{B}{&gt;{\begin{minipage}[b]{\hsize}}X&lt;{\end{minipage}}}   This doesn't help my problem where I need the vertical alignment applied to individual cells, not a whole column. Applying this column type to \multicolumn doesn't appear to work.  The second solution places a \baselineskip into the optional parameter of \multirow which works initially but seems to become vertically centred as soon as the cell becomes a certain height.  I have updated my example above to show how it breaks.  Thanks
How do I get the last column text to be at the bottom of the row?  That is I want the XXX to be aligned with the line containing the arrow. I tried playing around with \multirow{3}{-3ex}{XXX}, but obviously I don't understand \multirow. Code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tabularx} \usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{multirow}  \begin{document}     \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}[t]{l X p{1.3cm}}         &amp; Header &amp; Title \\\cmidrule(lr){2-2}\cmidrule(lr){3-3}         a. &amp; Some text text text text text text text text text text text text text text              text text text text text text text text text text              Want XXX on this line $\rightarrow$%          &amp; XXX\\     \end{tabularx} \end{document}
I'm playing as a khajit in skyrim, going to assassinate Beitlid in Dawnstar. Now, the first time I did it on her porch and just killed her with the Blade of Woe. I got caught somehow, whatever, so I loaded a previous save because mid-jailbreak the guards decided to just attack instead of attempt an arrest.  Then I tried sniping her... and now my arrows have FED, Flight Erectile Dysfunction. They fly... like two feet before suddenly dropping off. It's weird. It doesn't matter how long I hold the trigger, it just droops. Command line command to auto-kill a command after a certain amount of time I'd like to automatically kill a command after a certain amount of time.  I have in mind an interface like this:  % constrain 300 ./foo args   Which would run "./foo" with "args" but automatically kill it if it's still running after 5 minutes.  It might be useful to generalize the idea to other constraints, such as autokilling a process if it uses too much memory.  Are there any existing tools that do that, or has anyone written such a thing?  ADDED: Jonathan's solution is precisely what I had in mind and it works like a charm on linux, but I can't get it to work on Mac OSX.  I got rid of the SIGRTMIN which lets it compile fine, but the signal just doesn't get sent to the child process.  Anyone know how to make this work on Mac?  [Added: Note that an update is available from Jonathan that works on Mac and elsewhere.] Does Professor X have any responsibility for the state of the world? Throughout the course of Logan, it's obvious that Professor Xavier is having issues controlling his powers, and at the end of the movie, just before      X-24 kills him   he claims to "remember" what he did and expresses regret. We also hear about an incident in Westchester that killed several mutants, that sounds like Xavier may have been involved. Is Xaiver the reason there are no more mutants? Is that why he's sorry, because he knows he killed them all? As my client software uses lat/lon coordinates when communicating with my (spherical mercator) postgis database i decided to ST_Transform every geometry to WGS-84.  However i noticed that ST_Distance for WGS-84 returns units as degrees (i need meters). So i decided to use ST_DistanceSpheroid(geom1, geom2, 'SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563]') but this method seems to be extremely slow.  Therefor i switched back to using spherical mercator again and transforming my input and output to and from wgs-84 as that performs a lot better.  Am i using the correct method or is this a known issue? Rights if we possess Carta di Soggiorno? Is it possible to load a TikZ library locally? In C#, can I convert a string value to a string literal, the way I would see it in code? I would like to replace tabs, newlines, etc. with their escape sequences. If this code: Console.WriteLine(someString);  produces: Hello World!  I want this code: Console.WriteLine(ToLiteral(someString));  to produce: \tHello\r\n\tWorld!\r\n How can I pad an integer with zeros on the left? New to both Ruby and Rails but I'm book educated by now (which apparently means nothing, haha).  I've got two models, Event and User joined through a table EventUser  class User &lt; ActiveRecord::Base   has_many :event_users   has_many :events, :through =&gt; :event_users end  class EventUser &lt; ActiveRecord::Base   belongs_to :event   belongs_to :user    #For clarity's sake, EventUser also has a boolean column "active", among others end  class Event &lt; ActiveRecord::Base   has_many :event_users   has_many :users, :through =&gt; :event_users end   This project is a calendar, in which I have to keep track of people signing up and scratching their name out for a given event. I figure the many to many is a good approach, but I can't do something like this:  u = User.find :first active_events = u.events.find_by_active(true)   Because events don't actually HAVE that extra data, the EventUser model does.  And while I could do:  u = User.find :first active_events = [] u.event_users.find_by_active(true).do |eu|   active_events &lt;&lt; eu.event end   This seems to be contrary to "the rails way".  Can anyone enlighten me, this has been bugging me for a long time tonight (this morning)? Error "Power::infy: Infinite expression 1/0 encountered". Why do I get this? If $p$ is a prime and $p \mid ab$, then $p \mid a$ or $p \mid b$. The proof is already given in the textbook but I tried other way around.   Proof by contradiction: Let's assume that $p$ doesn't divide $a$ and $p$ doesn't divide $b$, but $p$ divides $ab$. So $\gcd(p,a)=1$ and $\gcd(p,b)=1$. Given that we can construct linear combinations   $sp+ta=1$ together with $up+wb=1$. Multiplying the left and the right sides of the equations we get  $spup+spwb+taup+tawb=1$ or $p(sup+swb+tau)+ab(tw)=1 \implies \gcd(p,ab)=1$. This is a contradiction.   Is it rigorous and sound proof? How do "badges" work? A get() like method for checking for Python attributes If I had a dictionary dict and I wanted to check for dict['key'] I could either do so in a try block (bleh!) or use the get() method, with False as a default value.  I'd like to do the same thing for object.attribute. That is, I already have object to return False if it hasn't been set, but then that gives me errors like     AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'attribute' Stack Overflow 'review' button is slow, and test questions are slower In the last few weeks, the 'review' button at the top of stackoverflow.com has become very slow. I can count to 20 in some cases (but not always).   In a perhaps related phenomenon, I believe that test questions in the queue often trigger a level of extreme slowness all their very own. If I click on a queue, or 'next' after a review, and the periods sit there throbbing for a good long time, chances are that what will show up will be a review audit. How can I change Blender's theme? I just downloaded blender and its very bright. I want it darker. How can I change the color of it? Where can I find gedit's backup files and how to open them? So, I just finished off the first part of an important task for school and today when I was going to continue, the document with my notes were gone. The only fragment I've got left of my file is the back up file, which doesn't show in the folder where I saved the document, but I can search for it.  Is there anyway which allows me to open the back up file, save it as a text file and continue my task? I don't really have the time for running restoring tools, which never has helped me in a satisfactory way anyway.  I wrote the document in gedit and my version of Ubuntu is 12.10.
