Let's say I have  on the board. He is a 2/2 that says:  Whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control, creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn.  I play a . It says:  Put three 1/1 red Human creature tokens with haste onto the battlefield. Sacrifice those tokens at the beginning of the next end step.  The sacrifice portion is not important to this question. What is important is how these two cards interact with each other. Playing this card in my first main phase, assuming no counters or other shenanigans by my opponent, I will have my Commander and 3 tokens on the battlefield. What will happen in terms of the power/toughness of my tokens and Commander? Option A The tokens will be 1/1 each. They don't see each other come in at all. The Commander is 3/3, as one &quot;enter the battlefield&quot; trigger happens. Option B The tokens will be 1/1. They don't see each other come in at all, because they weren't on the battlefield to see any of the triggers. The Commander is 5/5, as he saw three &quot;enter the battlefield&quot; triggers occur. Option C The tokens will all be different, with one being 3/3 as he saw the other two come in, one being 2/2 as he saw only the last one come in, and 1/1 as the last one saw none come in. Option D The tokens will all be 4/4, as three creatures entered the battlefield this turn. I am obviously hoping for this option. It may be supported by a ruling on Goldnight Commander that says, emphasis mine:  The creature that entered the battlefield will also get +1/+1 until end of turn if it's still on the battlefield when the ability resolves.  The key being the ability resolving. So my thought is thus:  Thatcher Revolt goes on the stack. Thatcher Revolt resolves, and three separate &quot;enter the battlefield&quot; triggers go on the stack as the three humans enter the battlefield as 1/1. The last (it is a stack) &quot;etb&quot; trigger resolves. This puts an ability from Goldnight Commander on the stack. This resolves and the humans are now all 2/2. The next &quot;etb&quot; trigger resolves. This puts a new ability from Commander on the stack, and resolves with the humans being 3/3. The first &quot;etb&quot; trigger finally resolves, puts a Command ability on the stack, which resolves putting the humans at their final state of 4/4.  Option E The tokens will all be 2/2.  Thatcher Revolt goes on the stack. Thatcher Revolt resolves, and one single &quot;enter the battlefield&quot; trigger goes on the stack. The &quot;etb&quot; trigger resolves. This puts an ability from Goldnight Commander on the stack. This resolves and the humans are now all 2/2.  I would really like to have a complete understanding both of the result and how this result is calculated by the game engine.
There are many cards that can put multiple permanents onto the battlefield simultaneously, such as , , or .  How do these interact with the following types of abilities?

What is a StackOverflowError, what causes it, and how should I deal with them? Is it pythonic for a function to return multiple values? In python, you can have a function return multiple values.  Here's a contrived example:  def divide(x, y):     quotient = x/y     remainder = x % y     return quotient, remainder    (q, r) = divide(22, 7)   This seems very useful, but it looks like it can also be abused ("Well..function X already computes what we need as an intermediate value.  Let's have X return that value also").  When should you draw the line and define a different method? Proving that $m+n\sqrt{2}$ is dense in $\mathbb R$ I am having trouble proving the statement:     Let $$S = \{m + n\sqrt 2 : m, n \in\mathbb Z\}$$ Prove that for every $\epsilon &gt; 0$, the intersection of $S$ and $(0, \epsilon)$ is nonempty. Spanning volume disk usage I have two SSD disks of 256GB and I want to create a single spanning volume of 512GB. I am using Windows 10. What I want to know is how will Windows handle this under the hood.  Will the first disk fill up before the second one starts being used, or will Windows use both disks. For example, if I have 256GB of data on the spanning volume, will it be divided to 128GB on first and 128GB on second physical disk or will it all be on the first disk with the second disk empty? Would this behavior be any different if I were using two HDDs? Can I use SPI for asynchronous serial output? I need a second serial async output channel on the MSP430G2553 and would like to use the SPI USCI to do this.  Is the USCI SPI baud rate stable enough to do this at 300 baud, 2400 baud or 9600 baud? I am currently using the 8 MHz clock.  Is there any other option that can save me from bit-banging?  My current thinking for 300 bd Tx is as follows:   set prescaler to 26666 LSB first load byte into Txbuf load 0x7F into Txbuf to generate stop and start bits repeat 2-3 send final stop bits 0xFF   It might also be possible to send ten bits of data on other members of the MSP430 family that contains a SPI.  Thanks for your responses. show that $a^2+b^2+c^2+2abc+3\ge (1+a)(1+b)(1+c)$ let $a,b,c&gt;0$.

Selection of logical connectives {¬,∨,∧,⇒,⇔} in set theory? Ordered N-Tuples as Cartesian Products of Indexed Families In Introduction to Topology, Mendelson defines the Cartesian Product of an Indexed Family as follows:     DEFINITION  Let $\{X_\alpha\}_{\alpha \in I}$ be an indexed family of sets. The product  of the sets $\{X_\alpha\}_{\alpha \in I}$,    written  $\prod_{x\in I}X_\alpha$ consists of all functions $x$ with domain the indexing set $I$ having the property that for each $\alpha \in I$, $x(\alpha)\in X_\alpha$.    Halmos, in Naive Set Theory, makes the following observation about this sort of product:     Ordered triples, ordered quadruples, etc., may be defined as families whose index sets are unordered triples, quadruples, etc.   However, it is not immediately apparent to me why this is true. It makes sense if we understand the prior assertions in Halmos that $\prod_{i \in I} X_i = X_i$ and that $\prod_{i \in I} X_i = X_a \times X_b$ when $I = \{a, b\}$, but these already pose difficulty for me.  Let $I = \{0, 1\}$, let $X_0 = \{A, B\}$, and let $X_1 = \{C, D\}$. Then by Mendelson's (and Halmos's) definitions, it would seem to me that . . .  $$\prod_{i \in I} X_ i = \{\{(0, A), (1, C)\}, \{(0, A), (1, D)\}, \{(0, B), (1, C)\}, \{(0, B), (1, D)\}\}$$  This would appear to me to be the set of all functions matching the definition given, but it is not equal to $X_0 \times X_1$. Moreover, extending this to a case where the index set $I$ is a triple, we would not end up with ordered triples, but with each subset of the product containing three ordered pairs.  When Halmos posits the equalities he does, the idea seems easy to grasp, but the peculiar wording of Mendelson's definition suggests something different to me. Frequency of the sound when blowing in a bottle I'm sure you have tried sometime to make a sound by blowing in an empty bottle. Of course, the tone/frequency of the sound modifies if the bottle changes its shape, volume, etc.   I am interested in understanding how the tone/frequency of this sound can be (approximately) calculated from the shape of the bottle. Is there some formula?  If you have any references about this please post them in your answers.  Being a mathematician I keep hearing that the principal tone is given by the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator, and I'd like to understand the physical explanation. Ubuntu 12.04 boots to TTY1 How to make random dots in different sizes and spaces between the dots in Illustrator? I am trying to make something similar to this?

I have to format my entire disk and reinstall Ubuntu.  I have installed a lot of software on my current system. And I will have to reinstall all those updates, drivers and applications too.

How small a quantity should be added to x to avoid taking the log of zero? I have analysed my data as they are. Now I want to look at my analyses after taking the log of all variables. Many variables contain many zeros. Therefore I add a small quantity to avoid taking the log of zero.   So far I've added 10^-10, without any rationale really, just because I felt like adding a very small quantity would be advisable to minimize the effect of my arbitrarily chosen quantity. But some variables contain mostly zeros, and therefore when logged mostly -23.02. The range of the ranges of my variables is 1.33-8819.21, and the frequency of zeroes also varies dramatically. Therefore my personal choice of "small quantity" affects the variables very differently. It is clear now that 10^-10 is a completely unacceptable choice, as most of the variance in all the variables then comes from this arbitrary "small quantity".  I wonder what would be a more correct way of doing this.  Maybe it's better to derive the quantity from each variables individual distribution? Are there any guidelines about how big this "small quantity" should be?  My analyses are mostly simple cox models with each variable and age/sex as IVs. The variables are the concentrations of various blood lipids, with often considerable coefficients of variation.  Edit: Adding the smallest non-zero value of the variable seems practical for my data. But maybe there is a general solution?  Edit 2: As the zeros merely indicate concentrations below the detection limit, maybe setting them to (detection limit)/2 would be appropriate? How can I display only the unique values in one column in Excel? Is there a way to display the unique values in a column ONLY?

I'm not sure if this is a vlookup or something else.
