How could I get a grey box in latex like the one I get on math.stackexchange when I type > to start a paragraph?
I'd like to highlight paragraphs such that the highlight color appears as one whole rectangle underlying the entire paragraph. I have looked around but nothing gives me the desired effect so far.  For example \fcolorbox{} from xcolor cannot highlight an entire paragraph; \hl{} from soul leaves out spacings between lines uncolored.  I am wondering how I can do this?
Consider a hypothetical situation: In which a time traveler travels in a spaceplane at close to speed of light circling the earth and I get a live telecast of inside of that plane to my television. How time dilation will effect him and what will I observe sitting next to the tv seeing him live. Considering time runs slower at speed of light, will he be looking like a slow motion video? (Or let he also watching live streaming of us at earth, what it will look to him) P.S. I'm not sure if it even makes some sense but if it does kindly explain in logical details. Sorry for the the bad english, I'm not a native speaker. Getting a better understanding of callback functions in JavaScript I understand passing in a function to another function as a callback and having it execute, but I'm not understanding the best implementation to do that. I'm looking for a very basic example, like this:  var myCallBackExample = {     myFirstFunction : function( param1, param2, callback ) {         // Do something with param1 and param2.         if ( arguments.length == 3 ) {             // Execute callback function.             // What is the "best" way to do this?         }     },     mySecondFunction : function() {         myFirstFunction( false, true, function() {             // When this anonymous function is called, execute it.         });     } };   In myFirstFunction, if I do return new callback(), then it works and executes the anonymous function, but that doesn't seem like the correct approach to me. I understand if you travelling in or to the US, you can lock your luggage using the TSA Luggage Lock. (Immigration is still able to open your luggage using their own special keys)  How about Europe? Especially Heathrow + Charles de Gaulle?    If the TSA Lock is not acceptable in Europe, are there any other alternative precautions I could use instead?

Why is my variable local in one 'while read' loop, but not in another seemingly similar loop? Why do I get different values for $x from the snippets below?  #!/bin/bash  x=1 echo fred &gt; junk ; while read var ; do x=55 ; done &lt; junk echo x=$x  #    x=55 .. I'd expect this result  x=1 cat junk | while read var ; do x=55 ; done echo x=$x  #    x=1 .. but why?  x=1 echo fred | while read var ; do x=55 ; done echo x=$x  #    x=1  .. but why? Should the weight of question upvotes be reduced? After thinking about    which I declined for the reasons , and    I have a proposal.  How about if question upvotes were only worth +5 rep instead of +10? And this was applied retroactively? (answer upvotes would be unchanged from the current behavior, so this would be question specific.)  This seems to be a better solution to the particular  problem  without all the rather serious negative repercussions of increasing the punitive value and/or cost of downvotes across the board. What's the difference between using single and double quotation marks/inverted commas? What is the definition of how to count degrees of freedom? resulted, rather as by-product, the discussion on how to count degrees of freedom (DOF). I extend that question here:   Are necessary1 derivatives such as velocities counted as individual DOFs or together with the respective coordinate2? Should complex valued DOFs be counted twice as in "two real-valued DOFs" or once as in "one complex-valued DOF"? (I mean, when one does not want to specify this explicitly)   Please answer with some reference, unless it turns out this is actually a matter of taste rather than a strictly defined thing.    1) I mean those a value of which is required as an initial condition 2) I count fields in QFT as coordinates as well, while space-time-coordinates are parameters to me, if that matters. I know a field actually has $\infty$ (or rather, $2^\aleph$) DOFs itself, but let's say e.g. "one $\mathbb R^3$ continous DOF" in that case Applications Don't Show Up in Spotlight Spotlight has stopped showing any results for my Applications. I've tried reindexing and removing the index so it rebuilds it. No change. I've tried adding Applications to the Privacy tab and removing it, no change.  I tried repairing disk permissions and redoing the above, no change. I've tried removing everything from the index except Applications and then I just get nothing for any search at all (except dictionary entries).  I tried adding a symlink in my homedir to Applications and reindexing, but no change.  Any ideas on what to do?  I'm running Snow Leopard.  This is driving me crazy!  Update: I've noticed that when I start a reindex with sudo mdutil -E / and then immediately do a Spotlight search for an app that the app shows up temporarily until Spotlight gets disabled due to active indexing.  After the indexing is done, the app entries go away. In educational material for the Russian language and linguistic literature the need to put accents on Cyrillic vowels often arises. However when I tried to do this with luaLaTeX the accents where misplaced.  \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont{Linux Libertine:style=Regular} \begin{document}  Е́сли вы изу́чите  \'{Е}сли вы из\'{у}чите  \'{E}сли вы из\'{y}чите % Here "E" and "y" are Latin glyphs, but this workaround does not                         % work with all Cyrillic letters e.g. Я, Ю \end{document}     The last line would looks nice, but unfortunately these are Latin glyphs.  Is this a problem with the font used (Linux Libertine) or with LaTeX? read only access to all files in a specific sub-folder I have got a specific folder located in "/home/.../reboot/".  I have a series of users that require read-only access to the ever changing files within.  My problem is that the same users are not authorized to view any of the parent directory files.  Right now, the only thing I have in place is that their starting folder is at "/home/.../reboot/" by changing the etc/passwd file; and I need to block all access to other folders.  How could I only give them access to this directory? Can I still command/control concentration spells while in the Border Ethereal? If I have cast something like Animated Objects or Bigby's Hand and then follow up the next round with casting Etherealness, can I still command/control those spells? Prove that $f'(a)=\lim_{x\rightarrow a}f'(x)$. Let $f$ be a real-valued function continuous on $[a,b]$ and differentiable on $(a,b)$. Suppose that $\lim_{x\rightarrow a}f'(x)$ exists. Then, prove that $f$ is differentiable at $a$ and $f'(a)=\lim_{x\rightarrow a}f'(x)$.    It seems like an easy example, but a little bit tricky. I'm not sure which theorems should be used in here.    ==============================================================  Using @David Mitra's advice and @Pete L. Clark's notes I tried to solve this proof. I want to know my proof is correct or not.  By MVT, for $h&gt;0$ and $c_h \in (a,a+h)$ $$\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}=f'(c_h)$$ and $\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}c_h=a$.    Then $$\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}f'(c_h)=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}f'(a)$$   But that's enough? I think I should show something more, but don't know what it is. Is it common to review papers assigned to your supervisor? Is it common to supervisors to email their students papers to review (which were apparently assigned to the supervisor, and not to the student). The field is Computer Science, but I  would also like to hear from the other fields. Continuous and bounded imply uniform continuity? Diagram of an artificial neural network Show that every nonzero integer has balanced ternary expansion? I know how to use the subfig package to fit many subfigures (each with its own caption) into a larger figure (with a general caption).  I know how to use the sidecap package, the put a figure's caption on the side of the figure.  What I do not know is how to display a caption inside the figure, as if it were a subfigure.  More precisely, I have three subfigures that I would like to fit on a 2x2 layout, with the remaining quadrant used for the caption.    Is that easy to achieve?
