I want to be able to select certain vertices, apply a texture, and then select the rest to apply another texture. How can I do this?
I wish to select areas of a mesh, but it would be much simpler to just select the ones I don't want selected (because they are easier to access), and then inverse the selection.  Is this possible?
Type safety: Unchecked cast In my spring application context file, I have something like:  &lt;util:map id="someMap" map-class="java.util.HashMap" key-type="java.lang.String" value-type="java.lang.String"&gt;     &lt;entry key="some_key" value="some value" /&gt;     &lt;entry key="some_key_2" value="some value" /&gt;    &lt;/util:map&gt;   In java class, the implementation looks like:  private Map&lt;String, String&gt; someMap = new HashMap&lt;String, String&gt;(); someMap = (HashMap&lt;String, String&gt;)getApplicationContext().getBean("someMap");   In Eclipse, I see a warning that says:  Type safety: Unchecked cast from Object to HashMap  What did I do wrong? How do I resolve the issue? We know that some people were aware of the fact that Lord Voldemort was Tom Marvolo Riddle prior to his return in Goblet of Fire; at the very least his close soon-to-be-Death-Eater &quot;friends&quot; and Albus Dumbledore:  “Very few people know that Lord Voldemort was once called Tom Riddle. I taught him myself, fifty years ago, at Hogwarts...&quot; ... underwent so many dangerous, magical transformations, that when he resurfaced as Lord Voldemort, he was barely recognizable. Hardly anyone connected Lord Voldemort with the clever, handsome boy who was once Head Boy here.” (Professor Dumbledore to Weasleys, Chamber of Secrets, CHAPTER EIGHTEEN, Dobby’s Reward)  and  “Voldemort,” said Riddle softly, “is my past, present, and future, Harry Potter…” He pulled Harry’s wand from his pocket and began to trace it through the air, writing three shimmering words: TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE Then he waved the wand once, and the letters of his name rearranged themselves: I AM LORD VOLDEMORT “You see?” he whispered. “It was a name I was already using at Hogwarts, to my most intimate friends only, of course. ...  (Tom's Diary manifestation in the Chamber of Secrets).  QUESTION: Who - based on canon (books/interviews/pottermore) - knew about the fact that Lord Voldemort was Tom Marvolo Riddle prior to Ginny being taken to the Chamber of Secrets? Obviously, Albus Dumbledore and Tom himself. Who else? NetworkOnMainThreadException Distant aliens receive signal with instructions on how to construct humans, long after Earth is extinct I read a book back in middle school. Can't remember the name of the book or the author or anything. Tried googling all the stuff I remember, but nothing ever fit it. It had a biohazard symbol on the cover, and it was sort of holographic, a bunch of whites and blues, looked kind of like how people interpret dream sequences or warp jumps in sci-fi animation or film. The book involved three kids, and they got a message one day or something, and they eventually decoded it to be lottery numbers, and they were told to buy a submarine with it and some other things. Some weird fog starts appearing all over the place, and these white creatures start beating up on everybody else. When they lose pretty much everybody, they're just kind of sitting in the submarine, and they send a message back in time, I think. It's been a few years. Anybody know what the book is or have any hints on it? Thank you~ U.K visitor visa with very old criminal conviction - do I disclose it? I have been travelling to the U.K for 25 years at least 8-10 times a year,  receiving 5 year visas, never breaking the stay period, with no problem. I've gone through immigration with no problem till my last time in London. I was stopped for eight hours and questioned about a run with the law while I was in college. This was in the US, I was around 20, it was for a credit card use. I received a conditional discharge / probation conviction which was discharged one year later. It was stupid, I was young and in college, more than 28 years ago.  After being questioned about the issue in the US, I was allowed in. They were very polite and professional.  I was also asked if I ever changed my name: I did not change it, but one letter was added in the middle of my first and last names around 20 years ago as our names are translated from Arabic to English and before the digital biometric passports, hand written passports some times varied. It was a common thing at the time.  Now I am applying for my new 5 year visas and I intend to answer truthfully  about previous conviction (previously I answered no because my conviction was spent and I expunged my record.) I want to answer yes and explain it. Is that the right thing to do?  Should I answer yes to the question about having a different name even though it was something as simple as spelling Bryan instead of Brian or Teresa and Theresa -- not really changing it and never thought of it as a change.  I have an impeccable credit rating in the Uk and the last 28 years have never received a moving violation or ever had a run in with the law.  I made one mistake when I was very young but I am  very worried about how to go ahead. I believe honesty is the best approach, is it? Add-on for blocking sites in Google Search Square of a function with an essential singularity Let $a$ be a point on the complex plane such that the function $f$ has an essential singularity. I am trying to prove that the square of that function also has an essential singularity.  I suppose that it does not have an essential singularity. Then $\exists ;k$ such that $(z-z_0)^{2k}f^2(z)$ differentiable. Then if I could take the square root and preserve the differentiability I would have finised. Can I do that? I have noticed that when I leave comments on a question and someone votes it up, I do not get a notification. If the upvote count would at least be more than 5, I would expect to be notified since that leads to a badge. I noticed that the reputation from the main site carried over to meta on Gaming (at least the first upvote), I guess that doesn't work the other way around, right?  Is it then impossible to have a meta reputation higher than the site reputation? I was wondering on the following and I probably know the answer already: NO. Is there another number with similar properties as $e$? So that the derivative of $\exp(x)$ is the same as the function itself. I can guess that it's probably not, because otherwise $e$ wouldn't be that special, but is there any proof of it? Hyperref "enquotes" metadata Shift numbers into a different range I was wondering how can I shift my data that fall between a range lets say [0, 125] to another range like [-128, 128].  Thanks for any help So I was thinking... If heat I feel is just lots of particles going wild and transferring their energy to other bodies, why am I not burned by the wind?  When I thought about it more I figured out that wind usually carries some humidity, and since particles of liquid are moving same speed as the wind, they are basically static relative to each other, so no energy is transferred between them (wind and water particles). And if that water sticks to my skin and wind blows, it'll evaporate thus taking energy from my skin and make me feel cold.  Thing is, I don't think that's really the case but even if it is, if I somehow dry out the wind, will it burn me if it's strong enough? And winds can reach some pretty high velocities (though I must admit I'm not sure if they are comparable to movement of atoms in warm bodies etc...).  So. Bottom line. Can I be burned by wind in some perfect scenario? Avoiding jumping frames in beamer Calculating Optimal Geohash Precision from Bounding Box I'm using Elasticsearch's  to plot clusters on a map (using Leaflet). I understand that for larger areas a lower precision setting should be used to limit the number of buckets created/returned.  How should I determine the appropriate precision value to request?  Is there a standard or recommended formula for calculating the optimal precision based on a bounding box and/or zoom level? Is it better to just map zoom levels to precision values (I know that's probably easiest.) When Apple was in the high $600 or so range, it split 6 times and made it more affordable to purchase more shares for less, even though the value was technically the same. I see companies like Google are extremely high per share and am wondering why or why not they would or wouldn't split their stock right now. Then what is the probability that out of $n$ men $A_1,A_2,....,A_n$ each aged $x$ years,$A_1$ will die and will be the first to die Let $p$ be the probability that a man aged $x$ years will die in a year time.Then what is the probability that out of $n$ men $A_1,A_2,....,A_n$ each aged $x$ years,$A_1$ will die and will be the first to die?

Helvetica font has jagged edges I use 'Helvetica' as my font and build my document using Texmaker. But the PDF generated has jagged edges while using this font and when I use a different font (say Times or even Helvetica sans-serif) it builds just fine.     Please suggest if there is anyway I can get over this. The problem with these jagged edges is that it appears very dull and unreadable at 100% resolution.

Whereas in the past, divorce was a relatively rare occurrence, in recent times it has become quite commonplace. This change is borne out clearly in census figures. For example thirty years ago in Australia, only one marriage in ten ended in divorce; nowadays the figure is more than one in three (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 1996: p.45). A consequence of this change has been a substantial increase in the number of single parent families and the attendant problems that this brings (Kilmartin, 1997).   \end{document} How to forbid a specific package to be installed?
