Is this grammatically correct: "Will he roll the dice, and follow it to Vegas?"? I want to use the following line in a poem:     Will he roll the dice, and follow it to Vegas?   A couple of things to note; firstly, obviously I'm using "roll the dice" in both a figurative/idiomatic sense (as in taking a risk), and in a somewhat more literal sense (painting the image of the person actually following the dice that have been rolled to Las Vegas).   That being said, my confusion here is if I can get away with using "follow it" or if I need to say "follow them" .... As I've read online "dice" traditionally refers to more than one die (i.e., the plural of die), but in the modern usage, "dice" can also be used to refer to the singular (i.e., just one die). So, it seems like if I was referring to the image of just one die, then the way I phrased it could be correct. However, the image I'm trying to paint is the one usually associated with the phrase "roll the dice" (i.e., rolling two dice)... So could "follow it" still be considered acceptable in this sense... or would I need to use "follow them"?... And if not referring to the dice themselves, could using, could the "it" be taken to refer to the act of rolling the dice, or would that not work either?

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, when you've finished the game you can switch day and night by going though the wormhole at the altar where you've caught the box legendary.

How can I create a Chatter File via Apex? From the Chatter tab I can go to 'Files' and then upload a file without attaching it to anything.   I am wanting to know if there is a way to achieve the exact same thing via Apex? What is the formula for percent of frame filled at a specific distance and focal length? I am thinking about buying a new lens specifically to take photos of distant targets (birds, bears, etc). I currently own the Canon 70-300 IS USM, which is a nice lens, but I find that if I want to take a photo of anything further away than about 10 meters, the target does not fill a large amount of the frame (meaning I have to significantly crop in post production).  I am currently looking at the Canon prime 400mm, however I would like to determine at what distance an object will fill a reasonable proportion of the frame.  Is there a formula or rule of thumb I can apply that will help me in this situation? I realise the size of the target I am shooting will play a role here, so if we need to make an assumption about the size of the target please let me know. How to calculate the correct focal length needed for a subject of a given size and distance? I need to purchase my first ever lens. So far I've only used lenses that were built into a camera. This specific lens is for the BlackMagic Deign Pocket Cinema Camera (a video only camera, but one that uses photography lenses). I would prefer this to be a prime lens.  I have tried to find the exact way to calculate the focal length of the lens I need but I have not been able to find a good resource to make this simple enough for my limited optics knowledge. Can you please explain a simple way to calculate the focal length of a lens given the following inputs as an example:    I would prefer a simplified mathematical explanation so that I may use it to make similar determinations in the future using a "" method.  I have . Using that method, I came up with:  Required lens focal length = 7.02mm sensor height x (77in / 36in) = 15mm   Is that correct? How to evaluate the integral $$\int_{25\pi / 4}^{53\pi / 4}\frac{1}{(1+2^{\sin x})(1+2^{\cos x})}dx\ ?$$ ZFC + $\exists$ Standard model $\rightarrow$ Con(ZFC + $\exists \omega$-model) $ZFC + \exists V_\alpha$ model of $ZFC \vdash Con(ZFC + \exists$ transitive standard model of $ZFC)$  and then  $ZFC + \exists$ transitive standard model of $ZFC \vdash Con(ZFC + \exists \omega-model$ of $ZFC)$  For the first one :   We can always find a countable extentional $M \subset V_\alpha$ elementary equivalent to $V_\alpha$. Let $M&#39;$ be the mostowski collapse of $M$. $M&#39; \approx M$ so $M&#39;$ is model of ZFC. And because $M&#39;$ is countable and transitive then $M&#39; \in V_\alpha$ (since $H_{\omega_1} \subset V_{\omega_1}$ and $\alpha$ is surely far larger than $\omega_1$).   So $V_\alpha$ is the model of '$\exists$ a standard transitive model of ZFC'.  For the second one :   I don't really know how to do it... Does anyone have an idea ? double r = 11.631; double theta = 21.4;   In the debugger, these are shown as 11.631000000000000 and 21.399999618530273.  How can I avoid this? Skype doesn't work in Ubuntu 14.04 I don't know if this is appropriate for math.stackexchange, or whether philosophy.stackexchange would have been a better bet, but I'll post it here because the content is somewhat technical.  In ZFC, we can prove that the (second-order) Peano axioms have a model, call it $\mathbb{N} = (N,0,S)$. Furthermore, $\mathbb{N}$ is unique up to isomorphism. Thus, it would seem that we've pinned down $\mathbb{N}$.  However, if ZFC is consistent, then it has some very peculiar models. In particular, it has a model $(V_0,\in_0)$ whose "native" $\mathbb{N}$, let call it $\mathbb{N}_0$, is a model for the sentence "ZFC is consistent," and another model $(V_1,\in_1)$ whose "native" $\mathbb{N}$, lets call it $\mathbb{N}_1$, is a model for the sentence "ZFC is inconsistent."  But in reality, in other words, for the "real" $\mathbb{N}$, only one of these can be sentences can be true. Furthermore, the objects $\mathbb{N}_0$ and $\mathbb{N}_1$ aren't isomorphic, since the set of sentences they satisfy are different.  So it seems to me that $\mathbb{N}$ cannot truly be pinned down. Furthermore, its categoricity is, in some sense, illusory. Is this correct, or am I missing something?

Omitting article “the” in front of plural nouns I'm helping someone learn English (second language), and I'm having trouble explaining when to use the and when not to. For example:     Students learn better when teachers are passionate about teaching.   versus     The students learn better when the teachers are passionate about teaching.   There's a subtle difference. The first one is a general statement, whereas the second might imply a study where a group of students learned better than another.  Is the difference simply that, general v. specific?
