I am new to Blender and I have been watching a video tutorial on how to create a soccer ball. So this guy went to Addons then Add Mesh and he enabled Regular Solids. I am using blender v2.78 and I don't have this option. I am trying to create a Truncated Icosahedron shape.
Following an online tutorial that uses an object named "icosahedron" from Add > Mesh > Regular Solids > Archimedean > Icosahedron. This object is not available in my version of Blender (2.74). Presenter asks me to include an add-on named "Add Mesh: Regular Solids", which again is not listed in my User Preferences dialog. What can I do about it?
Show if a user is online, idle, or offline on their account page? I want to display the status of the user on the account page. I added the following code in the theme I am using. It works, but users are never displayed offline. Why? What is wrong in the code? user.html.twig &lt;div class=&quot;bs-field-status&quot;&gt;   {% if status == 'Online' %}     &lt;i class=&quot;user-online fa fa-circle fa-lg&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Online   {% elseif status == 'Absent' %}     &lt;i class=&quot;user-absent fa fa-circle fa-lg&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Absent   {% else %}     &lt;i class=&quot;user-offline fa fa-circle fa-lg&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Offline   {% endif %} &lt;/div&gt;  bootstrap_subtheme_front_office.theme &lt;?php /**  * @file  * Bootstrap sub-theme.  *  * Place your custom PHP code in this file.  */  use Drupal\Core\Database\Database;  /**  * Implements hook_entity_presave().  */ function bootstrap_subtheme_front_office_preprocess_user(&amp;$variables) {   // get user object   $user = $variables['elements']['#user'];   //- The user has logged in at least once   if ($user-&gt;getLastLoginTime()) {     if (account_is_logged_in_less_then_thirty_minutes($user-&gt;id())) {       $status = 'Online';     }     else {       $status = 'Absent';     }   }   else {     $status = 'Offline';   }   $variables['status'] = $status; }  /**  * @param $uid  *  * @return bool  */ function account_is_logged_in_less_then_thirty_minutes($uid) {   $connection = Database::getConnection();   $query = $connection-&gt;select('sessions', 'sessions')     -&gt;fields('sessions', ['sid', 'uid', 'timestamp'])     -&gt;condition('sessions.uid', $uid, '=')     //- chef if the user was online in 30 minutes (60 * 30)     -&gt;condition('sessions.timestamp', \Drupal::time()         -&gt;getRequestTime() - (60 * 30), '&gt;')     -&gt;execute();   //- Get result.   $results = $query-&gt;fetchAll(\PDO::FETCH_OBJ);   return (count($results) &gt; 0) ?

The topic of Wikipedia contribution has come up before, but I am interested in the community's opinion on peer-reviewed wiki publishing (e.g., Scholarpedia). I would like to know if there is any advantage for a PhD student to publish in such an online venue versus the traditional journal publication for review content. The advantages I see to the wiki approach is free of charge publication, open access for all, not necessarily being limited by character limits. However, the disadvantages I see could be the citation being completely ignored by the intended audience and therefore missing out on the benefits of scientific communication and the possible loss of accompanying reputation for the publication. I would also worry these publications would be ignored or minimized by future supervisors and review committees. How to show the parent and child taxonomy term? How to merge vertices in Blender? I am attempting to create my first 3D character just for practice. Being one of my first 3d models I going through the learning curve needless to say. In doing so I find myself creating many extra vertices. Where we will say 10 vertices on a rounded shape are spaced out on the equator and on the other north pole end of the edges they are very close. The close end could all be one vertex. Is it possible to say merge all points to one point and delete the rest? Prove that the following inequality holds   $$a^a b^b c^c\ge (abc)^{\frac{a+b+c}{3}}$$   if $a,b,c$ are positive.   I'm not sure how to handle these kinds of powers. Are there any "famous" but not so advanced inequalities that involve this kinds of expressions?  I was trying to do something like ordering them without lost of generality because it's symmetric, but I get nowhere and I just make the thing even more complicated.  I'm asking for solution rather than hints since this is my first time encountering these kinds of problems. Remove entire row in a file if first column is repeated My wife has several files and folders that somehow ended up having filenames that have caused them to be undeleteable (can't be deleted) by normal means or via the command line. I believe the filenames are too long due to the depth of the folder structures. Does anyone know of a good utility for cleaning up files like this? What's the tax on a hobby orchard? Local html file AJAX Call and jQuery Woes How do I restart the SSH service? My friend recently received a new digital drawing tablet (Wacom Intuos Pro). Among other features, there is a hole that resembles a charm hole found on mobile phones:    Other parts of the package (e.g. pen) do not have such holes, so it isn't possible to attach them using a band. What is the purpose of this hole? Is it just for attaching various charms and such? A locally constant sheaf on a locally connected space is a covering space; Proof? Installing Autodesk Maya on Ubuntu is possible, but can be a bit challenging.  Assuming that one already has the required specs and a solid graphics card driver installed, how can it be done? proof that $f'$ is continuous at $a$ Let $f:I \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ derivable in set I. if $\lim x_n = \lim y_n =a \in I$ with $x_n \neq y_n$ and $\lim \frac{f(y_n)-f(x_n)}{y_n - x_n} = f'(a)$ proof that $f'$ is continuous at $a$  my attempt $x_n \neq y_n$ so by MVT $\exists z_n \in I$ like $x_n \geq z_n \geq y_n$ with $\frac{f(y_n)-f(x_n)}{y_n - x_n}=f'(z_n)$ for each $x_n$ and  $y_n$ then $f'(a) = \lim\frac{f(y_n)-f(x_n)}{y_n - x_n}= \lim f'(z_n)$   Using $\lim x_n = \lim y_n = a$ and $x_n \geq z_n \geq y_n \Rightarrow z_n \rightarrow a$  if $ \lim_{x\rightarrow a} f'(x) \neq f'(a)$ then $\exists \epsilon &gt; 0$ such $\forall n\in \mathbb{N}$, $z_n \in [x_n,y_n]$ $0 &lt; |z_n - a| &lt; \frac{1}{n}$ and $|f'(z_n) - f'(a)| \geq \epsilon$. So $z_n \rightarrow a$ but will do not have $\lim f'(z_n) = f'(a)$  so $\lim f'(z_n) = f'(a) = \lim_{x\rightarrow a} f'(x)$ when $z_n \rightarrow a$  and thats implies $f'$ continuous at $a$  my question is, that's correct ? if not, can you help me? thanks I just bought a house. Now I'm getting ads in the mail every day or two trying to get me to sign up to pay my mortgage bi-weekly (every two weeks) or weekly instead of monthly. In their words I could cut seven years and thousands of dollars off what I pay in long term. It seems like I would be paying the exact same amount of money, also.  I know "if something sounds too good to be true then probably it is". But I cannot figure out why in this case. What is the catch? Or is this something I should be signing up for ASAP? Dual-boot boot menu does not show up after installing Ubuntu 15.10 alongside Windows 10 I have installed Ubuntu 15.10 alongside Windows 10 with UEFI. To install Ubuntu, I chose the option install alongside Windows 10 or something similar to this. Then I created a new partition for Ubuntu and installed it. After installation, the boot menu did not show up. Initially I thought Ubuntu has not been installed, but when I plugged in the USB drive and wanted to install Ubuntu I saw an option of reinstalling Ubuntu on my machine. So, I found out that Ubuntu is installed. Pressing F8 and F12 also does not help. Can anyone help me bring up the GRUB boot menu? In Windows, I also entered the command bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi in cmd, but still the boot menu does not show up.  Reply (Himanshu) : Just boot in bios and, if you can, add boot option with name say ubuntu and path EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi. No need for live PCB or anything. Move the boot option to top. This is for dell GUI bios but I assume it works for all. Or you may want to see  or , where you can enable Windows Boot Loader for one boot or forever as you wish, and boot Ubuntu from it. If you want now, you can use the installed Ubuntu terminal to use the commands update-grub to use GRUB instead. (Not enough reputation to answer properly btw.) Can the graph of a bounded function ever have an unbounded derivative?    I want to know if $f$ has bounded variation then its derivative is bounded. The converse is obvious. I think the answer is "yes". If the graph were to have an unbounded derivative, it would coincide with a vertical line. What is the difference between re.search and re.match? Solve $\sin(z) = z$ in complex numbers Show that $\sin(z) = z$ has infinitely many solutions in complex numbers. Little Picard theorem should help, but using big Picard theorem is undesirable. Thanks a lot!
