I have made a very simple, basic ball animation with Blender, and was just going to render it (in Cycles). I want to render each frame as an image, so I set it to PNG. But when I render it, after about 5 seconds, it renders a bunch of black images. The render result does not even appear in the UV image Editor. Here is what it looks like when I hit the Render Animation button-   I am trying to render it with 128 samples, 32 preview. Here are my Render settings-  Here is the project file:  I am using Blender 2.79. Can anyone help me and tell me why my animation is not rendering?
A scene I made is not rendering, at all. This grey screen stays the same and nothing changes.  Here are my settings:  [

Note: I have yet to register; the site currently always shows my name and default email. I wish to log out so that I may start a new session! I know how to solve "simple" recurrence relations. For instance, say you have:  $$c_0 = 20$$ $$c_1 = 30$$ $$c_n = 3 c_{n-1} - 2 c_{n-2}$$  We can write the characteristic equation as:  $$3x^{n-1} - 2x^{n-2} = x^n$$  Solving this with $n=2$, we get $x = 1$ or $x = 2$. This lets us write the relation $c_n = \alpha_1 1^n + \alpha_2 2^n$, and we can solve for $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ with the initial states $c_0$ and $c_1$.  However, this depends on the fact that $3x^{n-1} - 2x^{n-2} = x^n$ has two roots.  Now, I'm stuck on another problem where the characteristic equation has fewer roots than terms.  Say I have this recurrence relation instead:  $$a_0 = 0$$ $$a_1 = 2$$ $$a_2 = −1$$ $$a_n = 9a_{n-1} - 15a_{n-2} - 25a_{n-3}$$  The characteristic equation would be:  $$9x^{n-1} - 15x^{n-2} - 25x^{n-3} = x^n$$  However, solving with $n=3$, we only get two roots: $x=-1$ or $x=5$. There are not enough roots to write a relation in the form of $a_n = \alpha_1 r_1^n + \alpha_2r_2^n + \alpha_3r_3^n$. How do I proceed? "Examine whether the given progressions converge (eventually improperly) and determine their limits where applicable.  (a) $$(a_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}:=\frac{n^n}{n!}$$  [...]"  I am having problems getting this homework done as I have no clue about convergency at all. Through Mathematica I know that $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}a_n=+\infty$ however I don't know how to proove it! During my research I found out that for sufficient big $n$ the inequality $x^n\leq n!\leq n^n$ for $x\in\mathbb{R}$ and $n\in\mathbb{N}$ is true. However this doesn't help me at all. Having a look at our lecture notes I developed the following statement: every $x^n$ with $|x| \geq 1$ diverges as $x^n$ is unbounded and therefore has the improper limit $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}x^n=+\infty$. Furthermore it seems obvious to me that I need to express the terms in a simpler way, like fractions converging to 0 etc, but I don't know how. Neither some work with the $\varepsilon$-definition of limits in combination with the triangle inequality helped me out. Any suggestions or hints?  Information: This is "Analysis for computer scientist" and therefore we haven't "officially" learned any fancy tricks like L'Hôpital's rule etc. just basic properties of $\mathbb{R}$ and some inequalities as this is an introductory lecture.

We have various ways of invoking apex. Triggers, Inbound Webservices, @InvocableMethod,@RemoteAction and what not. Often we call some or other utility methods from these execution contexts. I have some generic utility method,that should behave differently from the context it is called?  I know about Trigger.isExecuting but it only tells if its running in trigger context or not.  I have a utility method that creates lead from Webservices, VF button click and via Lightning . Whenever we create a lead I want some special operations to be done via the source it was originated.(Its not just updating a simple field leadSource, I have some methods that creates some childs and update other records of other type) . I can achieve this by passing an extra parameter to utility method to tell about source, but i have then to edit hundred of other class that uses this utility method. If i could dynamically find out via which context this piece of code is running,then i would have to change only one class to satisfy my requirement.    Is there something in APEX that tells in what context the apex method was called? How do I generate the upper triangular indices from a list? We are working on a service that is quite new and unknown to people. It's is oriented on small business. The target audience is divided into 3 specific different groups. As for now, we have one landing page, which communicates to 3 groups.   We have very low conversion mainly because people don't understand how they can use the service and benefit from it.  So, we decided to change the logic:  There will be one entrance page, where user will have to choose his group (1 of 3) and then he will be forwarded to the page of the group he chose before, where all the explanations how to use the service are provided.  So instead of one page we will have four pages. Will it improve the communication with users and are there any suggestions how to deal with 3 different target audiences? I have a method that I would like to call.  However, I'm looking for a clean, simple way to kill it or force it to return if it is taking too long to execute.  I'm using Java.  to illustrate:  logger.info("sequentially executing all batches..."); for (TestExecutor executor : builder.getExecutors()) { logger.info("executing batch..."); executor.execute(); }   I figure the TestExecutor class should implement Callable and continue in that direction.  But all i want to be able to do is stop executor.execute() if it's taking too long.  Suggestions...?  EDIT  Many of the suggestions received assume that the method being executed that takes a long time contains some kind of loop and that a variable could periodically be checked. However, this is not the case.  So something that won't necessarily be clean and that will just stop the execution whereever it is is acceptable.

How do I install the python imaging library (PIL) on Ubuntu?  I tried doing  sudo apt-get install python-imaging   but now when i run     python selftest.py (a script I got from somewhere on the  website) I get (among other warning messages):  ... *** JPEG support not installed *** ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support not installed ... *** 1 tests of 57 failed.   Have I somehow messed up the PIL -- how do I fix that?  Is maybe the PIL just fine, but that "selftest.py" is not really the right program for checking to see if PIL is installed properly -- how else can I tell if PIL is installed properly or not?  (I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin").  (What I'm ultimately trying to do is to add a 2D barcode generator to some python code, and all the 2D barcode generators I could find that were written in python all seemed to use the PIL).

I understand that if $x\in H$ then $xH=H=Hx$ since $H$ is a subgroup. However, I don't understand why if $x\in G\setminus H$ then $xH=G\setminus H.$  I know there are other proofs of this on this site but none of them specifically address this question.
