I am in need to input a certain type of braces to my report and I am not able to find it in latex. Can Somebody help me with this?. I have included a picture of it. Have alook at it.
I know what my symbol or character looks like, but I don't know what the command is or which math alphabet it came from. How do I go about finding this out?

For example:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{etoolbox}  \begin{document}  \newtoggle{longformt} \newcommand{\longform}{\toggletrue{longformt}} \newcommand{\iflong}[2]{\iftoggle{longformt}{#1}{#2}}  \newcommand{\quoteifnotblank}[1]{%     \notblank{#1}{``#1''}{}% }  % Try commenting this line. \longform  This should be completely blank if the form is short: \quoteifnotblank{\iflong{Some long quoted text}{}}  \end{document}   The problem here is that \notblank sees its argument of \iflong{Some long quoted text}{} as a string, not as code to be expanded, so the quotes always appear.  How do I expand arguments before they are passed to \notblank? After reading of:  I wonder if the  also applies to flagging of old questions.  I have the subjective feeling the longer the time between the question and the flagging is, the longer it takes to become reviewed.   Is flagging of old posts a waste of moderator time? Should I avoid that? Compare double in VBA precision problem I have trouble comparing 2 double in Excel VBA  suppose that I have the following code  Dim a as double Dim b as double a = 0.15 b = 0.01   After a few manipulations on b, b is now equal to 0.6  however the imprecision related to the double data type gives me headache because  if a = b then  //this will never trigger end if   Do you know how I can remove the trailing imprecision on the double type? Given 4 integers, $a, b, c, d > 0$, does $\frac{a}{b} < \frac{c}{d}$ imply $\frac{a}{b} < \frac{a+c}{b+d} < \frac{c}{d}$? We were trying to come up with an easy way to generate a rational number in between two existing rational numbers with a fairly low numerator and denominator (the way we were doing this earlier was to find the average of the two rationals, but that results in a denominator of up to $c * d$. Does this inequality hold for all values of $a, b, c, d$? What do I do now if I contributed to Roth IRA in 2012-2013 and my MAGI exceeded the limit? In 2013 I opened a Roth IRA for year 2012, contributing $4000 for year 2012.   In 2014 I contributed $5500 to that same Roth IRA for year 2013.  In 2015, I realized I was not eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA in 2012 and 2013 due to MAGI exceeding the limit. I opened a new account (Traditional IRA), deposited $5500, then immediately did a conversion to a new Roth IRA. (This is the "backdoor" approach as I understand it, is perfectly legal, and what I should have done in previous years). So I believe my Roth IRA account #2 (for tax year 2015) is in good standing  So now, what exactly should I do with the first Roth IRA account that I contributed to (incorrectly) for years 2012-2013? Luckily (?) there is only about $500 of gain in the account at this time.  If I re-characterize it as "Traditional IRA", have I missed the opportunity to do the conversion to Roth IRA for years 2012 and 2013?  Out of curiosity: Had I not caught this error, what would be the implications at Retirement time when I tried to take money out of the Roth IRA? Would the funds be treated as ordinary income (plus penalty?)   Lastly, with all this seemingly "fancy footwork" opening Traditional IRA and converting to Roth IRA, what documents (if any?) do I need to hold on to when it comes time to withdraw from the Roth IRA at retirement time to ensure the tax-free benefit? I am crawling some data using Apache Nutch and storing it on my USB Drive. The OS itself is Ubuntu Live Boot OS. But for every restart or shutdown I am losing my data.

Fast calculation for $\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\log x}{x^2+1}dx=0$ I want to show that $\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\log x}{x^2+1}dx=0$, but is there a faster method than finding the contour and doing all computations?  Otherwise my idea is to do the substitution $x=e^t$, integral than changes to $\int _{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{t e^t}{1+e^{2t}}dt$. Next step is to take the contour $-r,r,r+i\pi,-r+i\pi$ and integrate over it... $\lim_{h\to 0}\int \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\,\mathrm{d}x = f(b)-f(a)$ Let $f:[a,b]\to  R$ be integrable and continuous on $(a,b)$. Prove that: $$\lim_{h\to 0} \int_a^b\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} \,\mathrm{d}x = f(b)-f(a).$$  What I've tried so far: make a change of variables, which didn't help. I also thought of using the intermediate value theorem inside the integral, but the function being differentiable is not specified. Any help, tips? Thanks in advance! Flat quads (or, why is my mesh so funky?) I think my question relates to a fundamental of 3D modeling that I haven't picked up on yet. It's very simple:  Let's say I have a flat quad. A plane on the XY plane inserted into am empty blender file is a great example. Now let's say I start moving each of the 4 vertices around on in any direction, especially the Z axis.   At this point, there would still be one face, but its extremely unlikely that the face would be planar (I just learned this word). So blender does its best to make sense of what this should look like.  The problem I'm having is that it seems like my quads are always like this, but they never look the way I want. There are edges and seams that look like they are dangling in space, and what tends to happen is that my mesh looks great when viewed from most angles, but if you look at it from just the right angle, you notice the dangling edges or sometimes even some kind of impossible geometry. And so I might try to nudge the problematic vertices around, but this often seems to either make it worse, or just hide the bad geometry until you see it from a different angle.  For me, this always seems to happen whenever I'm trying to move vertices to add roundness to something that is originally square.   There is another question on here about how to actually flatten the quads. That's great, and I might use some of the techniques mentioned there. My question is:   Why does this happen? (Can someone explain this better?) What are some tips and tricks to avoid this situation? What are some tips and tricks to mitigate this situation?   EDIT Here is an illustration:  The overall mesh as viewed from a distance looks decent (for my skill level)    But if you get closer and look from a certain angle...    Super close up:    The "edge" that is pointed to by the arrow is not actually an edge, but some kind of artifact created when blender tries to show the quad. The way the vertices are positioned, it shouldn't actually be possible to see the sliver of the face that I marked in red, since this face is supposed to be around the corner from the edges. The edges should form the silhouette on the right side of my figure.     Here is the side view. Maybe it is the angled topology that skews the face in a funny way?  But I'm not looking for help with this one particular issue, but rather a better understanding of why this happens, and ideas to prevent this in future models. Is there a canonical way to typeset such quantities in equations and inline math?  \documentclass{article} \begin{document} $Re$, $Nu$ are clearly not an option. $\mathit{Re}$, $\mathit{Nu}$ appear ok to me. \end{document} In Windows 7, How to query times, when the computer was locked?
