How to have figures of both types \figure{} and \figure*{} ordered correctly among one another?  I have elements of both types \figure{} and \figure*{} in a document (its class is \documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}).  My problem is that, if I use only \figure (no star), all figures in the document appear in ascending order, i.e., Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, etc. The same happens if all figures are \figure*. However, when using both types, Latex messes them up. So, now, I have Figure 3, Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 5, Figure 4.  It may be interesting to point out that Figures 1, 2 and 5 are just \figure, while Figures 3 and 4 are both \figure*, that is, figures of the same type are ordered correctly among one another, but not with figures of other type. This even seems like a bug, because, if they were different float types completely, why do they use the same numbering?
I am writing a journal which has two column. I am using {figure} as well as {figure*} to place the figures in one column as well as stretch across two columns.   My problem is the order of the figures are not correct. e.g. their order of appearance is:                  Figure 1.                 Figure 2.                 Figure 5.                 Figure 3.                 Figure 4.   What should I do to make them appear in order?
I would like to set my monitor's scale under 100%, but Win10 only lets me set it to 100% or higher. Why won't Windows let me do that? Is there any workaround to do that? I am aware of the fact that scaling below 100% will result in merged pixels. Existence of a local geodesic frame Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ with Riemannian connection $\nabla,$ and let $p \in M.$ Show that there exists a neighborhood $U \subset M$ of $p$ and $n$ (smooth) vector fields $E_1,...,E_n \in \chi (U),$ orthonormal at each point of $U,$ s.t. at $p,$ $\nabla_{E_i}E_j(p)=0.$  What I've found so far;  Let $V$ be a normal neighborhood at $p.$ Let $(W,x(x_1,...,x_n))$ be a local coordinate system at $p$ s.t. $x(W) \subset V.$  Let $\{X_i:=\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}\}$ be the standard basis of $T_pM.$ By Gram-Schmidt, there exists an orthonormal basis $\{E_i\}$ of $T_pM.$ Consider the orthonormal frame $E_i(t),$ by parallel transporting $\{E_i(0)=E_i\}$ along a  a geodesic $\gamma :I \to M$ starting at $\gamma(0)=p$ and ending in $\gamma(1)=q,$ where $q \in V.$ This gives us an orthonormal frame at each point of $V.$ To satisfy the second condition, let $E_i(t)=\sum_{l}a_{li}X_l$ and  $E_j(t)=\sum_{s}b_{sj}(t)X_s.$ Then   $$\nabla_{E_i}E_j=\sum_{k}(\sum_{l,s} a_{li}(t)b_{sj}(t)\Gamma^k_{ls}+E_i(b_{kj}))X_k,$$  where $\Gamma^k_{is}$ are Christoffel symbols.   To have $\nabla_{E_i}E_j(p)=0,$ we must have $\sum_{l,s}a_{li}(0)b_{sj}(0)\Gamma^k_{ls}+E_i(b_{kj})(p)=0$ for each $k.$      How can I conclude the argument? How to setup OpenVPN Client A non-diagonal $4\times4$ matrix such that $A^3=A^2=0$ and its rank is $2$ Let $A$ be a $4\times 4$ matrix over $\mathbb C$ such that $\operatorname{rank} A=2$ and $A^3=A^2\neq 0$  Suppose $A$ is not diagonalizable.  Then which one is true   $A^2=A\neq 0$ $\exists$ a vector $v$ such that $Av\neq 0$ but $A^2v= 0$ the characteristic polynomial of $A$ is $x^4-x^3$   My try:  If $A^2=A$ then minimal polynomial of $A$ has two distinct roots and hence $A$ is diagonalisable hence false. Since $A^3=A^2\neq 0$ so the characteristic roots of $A$ are $0,0,1$ Since rank of $A$ is $2$ $1$ must appear twice so the characteristic polynomial of $A=x^4-(0+0+1+1)x^3+(0.0.1+0.1.1+1.1.0+1.0.1)x^2+(0.0+0.1+1.1+...)x+(0.0.1.1)$ hence 3 is false  2 I am not sure Please find the error in my solution and don't refer it to some previous solution I've discovered a new pattern.  Is this pattern well known or what is the opinion about it?  Basically, I have a hard time scrubbing up and down source files to figure out what module imports are available and so forth, so now, instead of  import foo from bar.baz import quux  def myFunction():     foo.this.that(quux)   I move all my imports into the function where they're actually used., like this:  def myFunction():     import foo     from bar.baz import quux      foo.this.that(quux)   This does a few things.  First, I rarely accidentally pollute my modules with the contents of other modules.  I could set the __all__ variable for the module, but then I'd have to update it as the module evolves, and that doesn't help the namespace pollution for code that actually lives in the module.  Second, I rarely end up with a litany of imports at the top of my modules, half or more of which I no longer need because I've refactored it.  Finally, I find this pattern MUCH easier to read, since every referenced name is right there in the function body.

Computing convex hull of points using shapely Assume that $A$ is an $n\times n$  real matrix, i.e. $$A^T=-A.$$  Since $\det(A-\lambda I)=\det(A^T-\lambda I)$, $A$ and $A^T$ have the same eigenvalues. On the other hand, $A^T$ and $-A$ also have the same eigenvalues. Thus if $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue of $A$, so is $-\lambda$. If $n$ is odd, $\lambda = 0 $ is an eigenvalue.  A curious search in Google returns  the nonzero eigenvalues of $A$ are all pure imaginary and thus are of the form $iλ_1, −iλ_1, iλ_2, −iλ_2,$ … where each of the $λ_k$ are real.   Here is my question:     How can I prove the fact that "the nonzero eigenvalues of $A$ are all pure imaginary"? How to activate the Gedit terminal plugin? I have the following packages installed:   gedit gedit-common gedit-plugins   In Ubuntu 12.04 with these packages installed all that was needed was to activate the terminal plugin and the press Ctrl+F9 to show the bottom panel. This isn't the case with Ubuntu 13.10 (Gedit 3.8.3) and I can't figure out how to do it. \centering doesn't seem to center my text I am trying to center this page but it will not work.  All is get is for the first line to be indented about one "tab" space to the right, but the second line will not shift.  However, the first line's indent does not appear to be centered either.  Is it possible that the binding offset or the indentfirst package is interacting with this negatively?  All of the other pages seem to work just fine.

The  spell has a duration of instantaneous, which implies that the familiar itself is not an ongoing magical effect. However, the spell provides a number of ongoing features that are definitely supernatural:    The familiar disappears when it drops to 0 HP. The wizard can temporarily or permanently dismiss the familiar. The wizard can communicate with the familiar telepathically. The wizard can observe through the familiar's eyes and ears. The familiar can deliver touch spells on behalf of the wizard.   Which of these features are considered magical? For example, would any of them show up to a detect magic spell or be suppressed by an antimagic field? In addition, is my assumption above correct that the familiar itself is not considered magical? When studying weak border conditions (in Sobolev Spaces), the usual motivation for the weak meaning of inequalities is that the boundary of most open sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$ has zero Lebesgue measure. But is there any open set $U\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ such that it's boundary has positive Lebesgue measure? I really can't think of anything like that. BasicTeX - how to identify packages that need to be added after an upgrade I'm using the BasicTeX distribution on OS X and recently upgrade from the 2011 to the 2012 distribution. This forces me to add the packages that I had added over time to the BasixTeX 2011 installation by pulling them from the online repository with tlmgr. Is there a good way to list these packages that are not part of BasicTeX but are part of the complete TeXLive? What happens if my shield breaks? Simplest Light triggered relay I am building a large array of Light Switched relays, and due to the size of the array i want to keep the part count down.  Each 'Pixel module' has a 12V SPDT, bulb and an activate-on-dark circuit. There is a strong spotlight on the device and the viewers shadow is obscuring the light in their shadow so the swing is large.  I have seen the obvious LDR-and-Pot circuits with a junction out to a NPN Transistor, and the more stable comparator alternative  I was looking at "solar cell" types of Photodiodes (PiN Type), and I can't see why I cannot just lay one across a PNP transistor (Collector to Base?) or something so it applies a Base voltage when lit up.  Can someone briefly explain to me why I am wrong?  I figure it would be all over the net if it was that easy, and i cant find any examples!  Is this possibly the cheapest way to make a light switched 12V relay driver?
