I seem to be having a problem joining these 2 faces together on the letter A. This is not created using the text feature in blender, but an imported SVG file. I have limited dissolved the mesh to get to where I am now but I can't figure out how to merge these 2 together. Image attached. Any help is greatly appreciated!
So, I'm working on a control station that has buttons. It is a one-mesh creation, that means, I don't want to create buttons and things like that separated from the main mesh, but as you can see, I have problems. I would like to make the highlighted parts to be one with the main part around them. I've tried everything, and I have this problem on multiple creations. Any idea?  Update: I've added another example of the problem. I want them to be one face, instead of two. (2nd picture)
Can "what kind" be plural? Is it correct to say, "What kind of patents are being issued in these sophisticated times?" It seems like it should be What kind of patents is being issued..., but that sounds wrong.  What kind of patent is being issued... is correct and sounds right, but loses a little bit of the original meaning.  Is there something magic about what kind that allows it to be plural, or do people just misuse it a lot? Any suggestions for a good undergraduate introductory textbook to statistics? I am hoping you can give me some suggestions. I am teaching in a very diverse (made of minority groups) college and the students are mostly Psychology majors. Most students are fresh from high school but some of them are older returning students above 40. Most of the students have motivational problems and aversion to math. But I am still looking for a book that covers the basic curriculum: from descriptive to sampling and testing all the way to ANOVA, and all in the context of experimental methods. The department requires me to use SPSS in class, but I like the idea of building the analysis in a spreadsheet such as excel.  p.s. the other teachers use a book that I don't like because of the extensive reliance on computational formulae. I find using these computational formulas - rather than the more intuitive and computationally intensive formula that is consistent with the rational and basic algorithm- unintuitive, unnecessary and confusing. This is the book I refer to Essentials of Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences, 7th Edition Frederick J Gravetter State University of New York, Brockport Larry B.

Probability that an integer number having Poisson distribution is even The probability $P(X=n)$ that an event X takes place $n$ times in a fixed period of time follows the Poisson distribution with parameter $\lambda$ i.e.  $$ P(X = n) = e^{-\lambda} \frac{\lambda ^ n}{n!}$$  I have to evaluate the probability that the event $X$ takes place an even number of times. I know that:   $$ P(X \text{ is even} ) = e^{-\lambda} \cdot \sum_{k=0}^{+\infty} \frac{\lambda^{2k}}{(2k)!}$$  but I can't solve the series.  I guess that I have to use the fact that $e^\lambda = \sum_{n = 0}^{+\infty} \lambda^n/n!$, but I got stuck.  How can I evaluate $P(X \text{ is even})$ (alternative solutions appreciated).

Behavior of $\sum a_n x^n$ given $\sum |a_n - a_{n-1}| < \infty$ Let $(a_n)_{n=0}^{\infty}$  be a sequence of real numbers satisfying $\sum_{1}^{\infty} |a_n - a_{n-1}| &lt; \infty$   Which of the following conclusions must then be true?

Looking for illustrator script to swap all objects with another I have a map with small circles for over 200 cities. I need to change all of the circles into map pins. Is there a way to do this? I think it's a script maybe.   I know how to select all objects of the same appearance and give them a new graphic style but that will only let me change the color, stroke, etc. not replace with a new shape. Why are newer generations of processors faster at the same clock speed? Why, for example, would a 2.66 GHz dual-core Core i5 be faster than a 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo, which is also dual-core?  Is this because of newer instructions that can process information in fewer clock cycles? What other architectural changes are involved?     This question comes up often and the answers are usually the same. This post is meant to provide a definitive, canonical answer for this question. Feel free to edit the answers to add additional details. Is there an alternative to the word "coincidence" to describe when two say the same word spontaneously? Is there a word to describe a scenario where two people having a conversation utter the same word/phrase together, simultaneously, and unconsciously? Something else than just a coincidence. Who are the diamond moderators, and what is their role? Let $\{a_n\}$ be defined as follows: $$a_1 = 2, a_{n+1}=\dfrac{1}{3-a_n}$$ $n \geq 1$.   Does $\{a_n\}$  converge?    Using the monotone convergence thereom, if the sequence is both bounded below and decreasing, $\forall n\in\mathbb{N}, n\geq 1$, then we can say the sequence converges.  I'm having trouble proving that the sequence is bounded below by induction.    Claim: The sequence is bounded below by $0$.  Base Case:  $n=1$  $a_1 = 2 \geq 0$, so this holds.  Induction Step  Suppose that $a_k \geq 0$, for some $k \in\mathbb{N}$. (IH)  Prove $a_k \geq 0\to a_{k+1} \geq 0$  I have some difficulty here.  $a_{k}=\dfrac{1}{3-a_{k-1}} \geq 0$  $a_{k+1}=\dfrac{1}{3-a_{k}}$, but we know $a_k \geq 0$, but we don't know how much bigger. It could be that $a_k = 4$, and then I have $a_{k+1}=\dfrac{1}{3-4}$, which is negative, and does not confirm with my claim of being bounded below by $0$. Have I gone somewhere wrong in my induction? Windows 10 update broke my MBR / GRUB Consider a text file with the following entries:  aaa bbb ccc ddd eee fff ggg hhh iii   Given a pattern (e.g. fff), I would like to grep the file above to get in the output:  all_lines except (pattern_matching_lines  U (B lines_before) U (A lines_after))   For example, if B = 2 and A = 1, the output with pattern = fff should be:  aaa bbb ccc hhh iii   How can I do this with grep or other command line tools?    Note, when I try:  grep -v 'fff'  -A1 -B2 file.txt   I don't get what I want. I instead get:  aaa bbb ccc ddd eee fff -- -- fff ggg hhh iii How can I quickly know the rank of this / any other matrix? How far into space does one have to travel to see the entire sphere of earth? Virgin Galactic will take passengers aboard SpaceShipTwo  above the surface of the earth.

I want to cut my 8 GB USB key into several partitions to use  for a Windows XP (maybe d before).   I also want to put the  remix pack into it such that it has the second bootable OS. I want to tweak and modify it a little because if I can I want to switch Ubuntu 9.04 to the  version.  How to do it easily?  IMP: in short I want to make a dual-boot USB key with Windows XP SP3 and Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS. The "" formulas often come in handy, but it's not immediately obvious that they would be true.  \begin{align} \sin(\alpha \pm \beta) &amp;= \sin \alpha \cos \beta \pm \cos \alpha \sin \beta \\ \cos(\alpha \pm \beta) &amp;= \cos \alpha \cos \beta \mp \sin \alpha \sin \beta \end{align}  So what I want to know is,    How can I prove that these formulas are correct? More importantly, how can I understand these formulas intuitively?   Ideally, I'm looking for answers that make no reference to Calculus, or to , although such answers are still encouraged, for completeness. Split string on spaces in Java, except if between quotes (i.e. treat \"hello world\" as one token) How should one interpret the comparison of means from different sample sizes? Take the case of book ratings on a website. Book A is rated by 10,000 people with an average rating of 4.25 and the variance $\sigma = 0.5$. Similarly Book B is rated by 100 people and has a rating of 4.5 with $\sigma = 0.25$.   Now because of the large sample size of Book A the 'mean stabilized' to 4.25. Now for 100 people, it may be that if more people read Book B the mean rating may fall to 4 or 4.25.   how should one interpret the comparison of means from different samples and what are the best conclusions one can/should draw?    For example - can we really say Book B is better than Book A.
