I have a question. With regard to present participles such as sleeping, singing or fishing. When used in the following sentences are they functioning as nouns or verbs.  I am swimming  In my mind, swimming is and action, so I think that it's a verb. When I look online, it lists participles as nouns.  I'm confused!
Given the sentence:     Most people who live and work near Washington, DC, would have trouble      imagining dinosaurs walking around the area.   Grammatically, what would ‘imaging’ be called in this case? Present participle or gerund or something?  I mean, if it is a present participle, ‘imagining~’ might be a description of the subject. And if it is a gerund, ‘imagining~’ might be an object of the verb phrase of ‘have trouble’. How do they explain this ‘imagining’ after ‘have trouble’?

What is the difference between Parse() and TryParse()?  int number = int.Parse(textBoxNumber.Text);  // The Try-Parse Method int.TryParse(textBoxNumber.Text, out number);   Is there some form of error-checking like a Try-Catch Block? It is given $23!=2585201xy38884976640000$. Now it is required to find the value of $x$ and $y$. I know I could find it by using divisibility rules and solving simultaneous equations. Is there any other way to solve it (without computing it by a calculator)? This question is just out of curiosity. Let us consider that $u\in C^2(\Omega)\cap C^0(\Omega)$ and satisfying the following equation .  $\Delta u=u^3-u , x\in\Omega$ and   $u=0 $   in  $\partial \Omega$  $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$ and bounded .   I need hints to find out what possible value $u$ can take ?  Thank you for ur hints in advance . Can the real and imaginary parts of $\dfrac{\sin z}z$ be simplified? I have calculated the real and imaginary parts of $\dfrac{\sin z}z.$ I've obtained  $$\begin{eqnarray} \frac{\sin z}z&amp;=&amp;\frac{\sin(x+iy)}{(x+iy)}\\ &amp;=&amp; \frac{\sin(x)\cosh(y)+i\cos(x)\sinh(y)}{x+iy}\\ &amp;=&amp; \frac{x\sin(x)\cosh(y)+y\cos(x)\sinh(y)}{x^2+y^2}+i\frac{x\cos(x)\sinh(y)-y\sin(x)\cosh(y)}{x^2+y^2}. \end{eqnarray}$$  Before calculating it, I hoped I could use this in a solution to a certain problem, but I would need to differentiate the real and imaginary parts of $\dfrac{\sin z}z$ with regard to $x$ and $y$. But what I'm getting is very complicated. I understand that it could be that that's just the way it is. But maybe there are some simplifications to be done either in the functions or in their derivatives? I've never really used hyperbolic functions before so I'm not sure I'm not missing something.  Added. The problem I'm working on is the following.     Prove that the solutions of the equation $$\tan z=z$$ are all real.   I will sketch the solution I know here.  It can be calculated that  $$\tan(x+iy)=\frac{\sin(2x)}{\cos(2x)+\cosh(2y)}+i\frac{\sinh(2y)}{\cos(2x)+\cosh(2y)}.$$  Plugging this to the equation, we get  $$\begin{eqnarray} x&amp;=&amp;\frac{\sin(2x)}{\cos(2x)+\cosh(2y)}\\ y&amp;=&amp;\frac{\sinh(2y)}{\cos(2x)+\cosh(2y)}. \end{eqnarray}$$  From this we can get   $$\sin(2x)\cdot2y=\sinh(2y)\cdot2x.$$  By plotting the functions $\sin,$ $\mathrm{id}$ and $\sinh$ (and proving the right inequalities we can see from the plots), we can see that this is only possible when $xy=0$. But when we plug $x=0$ to the second equation, we can show that the only solution is $y=0$, which ends the proof.  What strikes me in this solution is the fact that $\dfrac{\sin z}z$ is used. (Not explicitly in my statement.) This function has another connection to the problem:     The non-zero solutions of the equation $\tan z=z$ are exactly the zeros of the derivative of $\dfrac{\sin z}z.$   This is easy to prove. I wondered if there shouldn't be a solution to the problem which uses this fact, given that $\dfrac{\sin z}z$ appears in the solution I know.

Kontact in Kubuntu 16.10 will not start because the Akonadi server will not start I am interested in displaying some things (e.g.: title page) in full color on screen, while having the same object/page display in a black and white friendly form when printed.  According to , there is built-in functionality in the PDF specification for Screen-Only objects and Screen-And-Print objects.  There may also be a way to add a layer on top of the B&amp;W page that only displays the full color page on screen via the PDF 1.5 Optional Content Groups feature.  Similarly,  demonstrates the selective printing of text via ocg-p.  But it is not clear how I can use this package in the way that I need to.  My scenario is compounded by the fact that my color page text is white on a dark background.  MWE:  This code presents the way I am currently switching back and forth between color and b&amp;w.

Not able to understand the meaning of question? car moving with a speed of 40 km / h can be stopped by applying brakes after at least 2 m.

I just came across this glowy ore, and my 'Sharp Silver Pickaxe' won't mine it. I'm playing on the PC version of Terraria, if that helps.  How do I mine the glowy ore block? Is there an Extended Backus–Naur form (EBNF) that covers all of English? Why MonadPlus and not Monad + Monoid? I'm a Canadian citizen with a Canadian passport. I booked a flight with American Airlines to Mexico City From Toronto Pearson and it says that "Passenger details are needed to check in".  Flight 1: YYZ -> DFW -> MEX Flight 2: MEX -> DFW -> YYZ     They already took my name, gender and such. It is now asking for my passport number and expiry date. That all seems reasonable. However, when I enter that I am a Canadian resident it asks for:  1) Street or hotel in US 2) City in US 3) State in US    My trip to DFW is only for a connecting flight. The fields are required so I can't submit my passport information without filling this in.    Is there something I'm missing?
