Aligning side-by-side table and figure I have a table and figure that I need them to appear side-by-side. The figure appears in a higher position than the table. I need to align them so that their sizes are equivalent. This is the script and the output compared to what I need.  \documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{babel} \usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \begin{minipage}{\textwidth} \begin{minipage}[b]{0.49\textwidth} \centering  \captionof{table}{Table} \begin{tabular}{ll} \hline\noalign{\smallskip} Item1 &amp; Item2 \\ \noalign{\smallskip} \hline \noalign{\smallskip} C &amp; 100  \\ B &amp; 200  \\ C &amp; 300 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{minipage} \hfill \begin{minipage}[b]{0.49\textwidth} \centering \includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{venndiagram2} \captionof{figure}{Diagram.} \end{minipage} \end{minipage} \end{document}
Table and figure side-by-side with independent captions Looking to put a table and a figure side by side so that the table and figure have their own captions. A crude sketch    ------------              -----------------     TABLE    | a |  b |                     FIGURE   | c |  d |  ------------              Table 2: Caption           -----------------                            Figure 7: Caption   The closest I've gotten is:  \begin{table}% \centering \parbox{0.4\textwidth}{ \begin{footnotesize} \begin{tabular}{| l | r |} \hline some &amp; table\\ \end{tabular} \end{footnotesize} \caption{Table} \label{tab:table} } \qquad \begin{minipage}[c]{0.53\textwidth}% \centering     \includegraphics[width=1\textwidth]{awesome} \caption{Figure} \label{fig:figure} \end{minipage} \end{table}   But that gives two Table X: Caption captions. I didn't find anything in subfig.  Help?
Boarding a train in India at another station I have booked a ticket on a train from Mumbai to Chennai and boarding at Pune. Since my schedules have changed, I will be in Mumbai on that day. Can I board the same train in Mumbai in my own ticket and claim the seat/berth? Is “ ’s ” ever correct for pluralization? A relatively modern dictionary (I don’t know which one, because we’ve cut out the pages and used them as wallpaper in our bathroom, but I know it’s less than 20 years old) indicates that R’s is one correct pluralization of R, as is Rs, but whichever dictionary this is, it’s kind of a no-name brand, so I’m not sure I trust it.  I’ve always wondered what the best way was to pluralize single letters or numerals, like 2’s or 2s.  What’s correct? Uses of the definite article (the) in generic noun phrases I was reading a paragraph about lions and I came up with a question about the definite article (the).  Let me tell you first what I know about it.     1->We use the before a singular noun (when we are sure about the noun.    And the listener and the speaker both know about it).      2->We use the before a plural noun (again when we are sure about the noun,   and we are not talking generally).   So, my question is why does the writer use the here as we are not talking about any specific lion or lions. We are talking generally.  The Paragraph:     Living in the grasslands, scrub, and open woodlands of sub-Saharan   Africa, the lion is the second largest cat in the world. It is dwarfed   slightly by the tiger, which is closely related and has a very similar   body type.    Can we re-write the paragraph something like this:     Living in grasslands, scrub, and open woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa,   lions are the second largest cat in the world. They are dwarfed   slightly by tigers, they are closely related and has a very similar   body type. Looking to Identify Book that has a large Leviathan type ship on the front The cover has a large Leviathan type ship on the front.   It is set in deep space as the people on said ship have been living there for generations. They come across an abandoned ship and set out to check it out. There are several traps but it seems to be a human ship and they even find a lone woman. Unfortunately she turns out to be an alien and attacks. They end up on a planet where a factory/warehouse is found to contain bodies, they think were eaten/experimented on by the aliens. I thought the book was called Leviathan but can't seem to find it anywhere. I seemed to be an older book from the golden age maybe even up into the 70's but I haven't had any luck yet. Any help I could get finding this would be great,thanks. I think my son was trying to guess the passcode! What do I do?  I can't wait 42 years! Being an early adopter and using 11.04 daily builds I sometimes meet a situation when some packages require earlier versions of other packages than those I have installed. Usually newer (but refused) versions of needed packages provide all the functionality of their older versions.  If I use dpkg -i --force-depends-version to install dependent packages everything works fine, I've never seen a problem.  Instead of manually downloading and installing every package, can I just make the system pretend there is a specific package version installed when there is a newer? Or is there a --force-depends-version key equivalent for apt-get? I'm trying to process some data in Excel. The data includes numeric account numbers and other long numeric strings (like cell phone MEIDs). I am not doing math operations on these strings, so I want Excel to treat them as plain text.  Here is what is making me nuts (this is Excel 2010):   Take a long number like 1240800388917 and paste it in a cell in a new worksheet. Excel's default cell format is general, so the string is presented in scientific notation as 1.2408E+12 Right click on the cell, select Format Cells, set the format to Text   The cell is still displayed in scientific notation, even though the format has been set to text.  Now, if I do the steps in a different order:   Format an empty cell as text. Right click on the cell, select Format Cells, set the format to Text Take a long number like 1240800388917 and paste it in to the text formatted cell   Now, the cell is displayed as a string and not in scientific notation.  The results remaining in scientific notation even though the cell is formatted as text just seems broken to me. I've seen suggested work-arounds like: use CSV import and set the format to text, add a space character to the beginning of each numeric string, and others.  Is there a simple good work around to easily keep these strings formatted as text?  Why on earth does Excel do this?  Related SU questions I found:  and Does each imply the other? If not, does one imply the other? Why/why not?  This issue came up in response to a comment on an answer I posted .  Although google searching the relevant terms didn't produce anything that seemed particularly useful, I did notice  on the math stackexchange. However, I thought that this question was appropriate for this site too.  EDIT after reading the comments  Relative to the math.stackexchange answer I was after something more in depth, covering some of the issues dealt with in . Also, as I see it the math.stackexchange question shows that consistency doesn't imply asymptotically unbiasedness but doesn't explain much if anything about why. The OP there also takes for granted that asymptotic unbiasedness doesn't imply consistency, and thus the sole answerer so far doesn't address why this is. Gdata signed request error: "Unknown authorization header" Showing that $\frac{\sqrt[n]{n!}}{n}$ $\rightarrow \frac{1}{e}$ I need to do a polynomial interpolation of a set $N$ of experimental points; the functional form I have to use to interpolate is this:  $$ f(x) = a + bx^2 + cx^4,$$ as you can see the coefficient that I need to find are just 3: $a, b, c$; however the points I have are $\#N&gt;3$ and so it looks like the determination of the coefficients is impossible because is over-determined. Does anyone have an idea of what should be done in such case (supposing it is even possible)? I recently upgraded my computer's RAM to 4&nbsp;GB. My 32-bit Windows installation shows only 3574&nbsp;MB of the memory. How can I make Windows use the full amount of RAM? state that "at best" is an idiom. But, what is the grammatical function of "at best" (for example, in the below sentences?)        Their response to the proposal was, at best, cool.   The government's response seems to have been at best confused and at   worst dishonest.   If he drops the course now, at best he’ll get an incomplete, and he could fail.      Thanks Dropping the '-ing' in noun adjuncts I always remember many verbs ending in -ing.  Swimming club/cap and shaving foam for example. I now see increased use of swim club and shave foam.  Why has this happened, is it correct use of English ? Changing the keyboard layout turns off the numlock How to disable Windows 10 memory compression? my former wrong assumption: it drains my notebook battery and I've no shortage of RAM. In Task manager you see ntoskrnl.exe is eating more CPU time than any other process. this feature does not appear to be optional and came 2 days ago with the 1st Win10 Update (Win10Pro in my case).  Edit:  I want to disable it, at least to exclude it as a culprit for my (unproven) assumptions. That process never came to my attention in the last 2 months and in task manager's long name it's called "system memory and compressed memory". Proving the limit of a function of a sequence is equal to the function of the limit of that sequence Suppose $f$ is a continuous function at $x = c$ in $[a,b]$.  Prove that for any sequence ${x_n}$ in $[a,b]$ converting to $c$, the sequence $\{f(x_n)\}$ converges to $f(c)$.  That is, $$ \lim_{n\to\infty}f(x_n)= f\left(\lim_{n\to\infty}x_n\right)$$    This proof seems simple but there are a few things that I need to know first. If $\{x_n\}$ converges to $c$, is it sufficient to substitute $c$ in for $\lim_{n\to\infty}x_n$?  Also needing some guidance on the structure of this proof.  Thanks! How can I install a Nautilus script? There are two checkboxes for Run As Administrator in the Properties dialog for a shortcut in Windows 7. One is under the Shortcut tab in the Advanced Properties dialog, and the other is under the Compatibility tab.  I've seen this under Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. It might be in Vista and other versions, but I'm not sure.  What is the difference between these two settings? Yesterday I read Modern English:A Practical Reference Guide written by Marcella Frank, and she gives a paradigm about tenses on page 50. The page shows tenses in active voice and passive voice; she said these four tenses are exceedingly rare:   shall/will be being offered has/have been being offered had been being offered shall/will have been being offered   Why are these tense so rare? Are they normally replaced by other tenses?
