What do you call the home in which you grew up and spent most of your childhood: father home, mother home or what?
A word/phrase meaning the "house where I was born"?
Change desktop background to a solid color (e.g. pitch black) in GNOME 3 I just installed Ubuntu 16.04 with GNOME and I would like to set the background color to black. If I right click in the background I can select a wallpaper or a photo or a color. But there are only a few colors available. How can I open a palette and select the #000000 color ? java swing background image How to login to gamecenter at PewDiePie's Tuber Simulator? How do I login to the Gamecenter on PewDiePie's Tuber Simulator, if you have not done it when they asked? What is your Instagram password when signing in using Facebook? Do this:   On your phone, create an instagram account using Facebook log in. Now on your desktop web browser, log in using Facebook connect.  Now go to delete your account - edit profile -> I'd like to delete my account.    It will ask for your password.   But you never gave it a password in order to create the account.   I tried using my Facebook password, but that didn't work.   Any ideas? The Instagram account management seems quite broken. I had an application for returning closest matches to certain values in a large  cluster of values( as in my earlier )   and I chose a VBA solution. While in the course of using the said application, I observed that the results for the value of 0.5 were not correct. I had been using the VBA Round function which I found to be returning 0 for 0.5 rounded to integer whereas the worksheet round function returns 1. Strangely, the VBA round function returns 2 for 1.5. I had to substitute the worksheet function in place of the VBA one.  Am I missing something? Replacing Raster Values in Ras1 with Ras2 How to use multiple Effect Strips in Blender Video Sequence Editor? Getting a vector into a function that expects a vector I was readng Wikipedia article (English one) about radiation pressure because there is something I still cannot figure out. As I understand it, radiation pressure emerges from conservation of momentum. Photons or electromagnetic waves possess momentum and when they are absorbed, reflected or even emitted, the aborber/reflector/emitter experiences a pressure that is proportional to the irradiance (in watts per square meter). OK. In the case of a perfect reflector that does nothing but reflecting incoming radiation, it would seem the reflector is pushed and the radiation is reflected in opposite directions. But the radiation has not lost anything, it has only changed direction. And I do not understand how something can be set in motion (the reflector), which amounts to do work, yet the source of this work does not lose energy. I mean, if the radiation, after a U turn, meets a second reflector, it would have pushed two reflectors a way, yet it would continue in its original direction as if nothing happened...? What am I missing here? Should not photons lose something? UK visa requirement: Residence or citizenship? On gov.uk's  it is indicated      Check if you need this visa if you’re visiting from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland"   “Visiting from” makes you understand that the country you regularly live in is relevant, thus you can avoid applying for a visa if you are visiting from Italy (as country of regular residency).  As a matter of fact, if you proceed to make the check, the question to answer is "What passport or travel document do you have?", not really consistent with the indication previously given.  So, what is relevant: the country you live in with regular documents (and where you leave from to visit UK) or the country of origin which issued the passport?  To be practical, a Moldovan who is an Italian resident with regular resident card and Italian ID card (but with the note "not valid for expatriation") can avoid applying for a visa if he wants to spend a week-end in London (thus visiting from inside EEA)? How do you add a timer to a C# console application Just this - How do you add a timer to a C# console application? It would be great if you could supply some example coding. What does "Meta" mean?

Legal issues around using real players names and team emblems in an open source game 80's pop song with lyric "It's the story of my life if you wanna know" I'm trying to identify a song by a female 80's pop group.

Thank you very much Image Alpha Background Renders Black when using "Import Images as Planes" I must be missing something here.  I'm doing an extremely simple Import Image as Plane using the AddOn and the imported image has an alpha background but it renders (and even previews in the material preview) as black where the alpha background should be.  When I import, I select Emission &amp; Transparent so the material setup is automatic.  I've read similar issues but people are typically missing the transparent node and connecting the Alpha channel from the image into the Mix Node factor.  But this is all here.  I must be missing something really stupid but I've wasted so much time trying to fix this thing.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Not sure if it matters but I'm using 2.74 RC2.  Many thanks!  I created this dummy blend file to test outside my project but problem still exists.  Here is the simple .blend file: Series convergence or divergence how to test I have the following series defined.   $$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n} \cos \left( {\frac{\pi}{2}} k \right) \frac{k}{k+1000} \frac{1}{\sqrt{k}}$$ where $n = 1,2...$  How to test whether this series converges or diverges ? Redirect www to non-www using Apache htaccess does not work Prove that $\sin(\theta) + \sin(\theta+2\pi/3) + \sin(\theta+4\pi/3) = 0 $ for any angle $\theta$.   This came up in the context of electricity:  It is common in electrical power engineering to use three-phase circuits with sinusoidal currents out of phase with each other by 120 degrees. The benefit of this is that the currents sum to zero at the neutral point meaning less copper is required for the system.    However, while I know that the three phasors always sum to zero, and can see visually, as in the figure that this is true at every point, how can this be shown more formally, or algebraically? What's the Pythonic way to combine two sequences into a dictionary? Is there a more concise way of doing this in Python?:  def toDict(keys, values):   d = dict()   for k,v in zip(keys, values):     d[k] = v    return d
