I have a figure which occupies around 75% of the page and Latex keeps putting this figure alone on a page (in the middle of the page). What I want is to have some of the lines of the following paragraph right after the figure, even if there is space for only 4 or 5 lines. I tried with \nopagebreak and minipage, but nothing seems to work. Thanks!  EDIT: I fixed it by setting the [ht] parameters for the figure.
I have a couple of floats in my document, which contain large Images (it consumes the half of the page). In this case, the figure get's its own page and no text goes on this page.  How can I configure this? I'd like to have text before and after the floats until the float doesn't use more then 75% of the page height.
Solving binomial theorem via induction A short story I read long ago about the phone system 'waking up' It used to be that the new, super wide, touch friendly context menu style that Google introduced a few versions of Chrome ago could be turned off using the start up flag "--disable-new-menu-style".  As of Chrome 28, this is no longer the case, and as a desktop user it is very irritating to see menus that previously fit in the screen not to do so anymore — I don't think I can get used to it. Is there any way around it? If the flag is gone for good, can the style of the context menus be perhaps edited with custom css like the web inspector? Search by multiple tags I'd like to be able to search for questions by multiple tags; for example "questions tagged 'nhibernate' and 'web-services'".  I can get close by searching for "nhibernate web-services" but the results tend to be a few questions that relate to both terms--but much more largely just questions that relate to one or the other. What are your favorite English language tools? To prevent myself from asking an obvious, silly question multiple times: What are the English language tools you found most useful?  I found  extremely useful for looking up .   Please, one tool per answer. I recently decided to watch Doctor Who, and started viewing the 2005 version. I have the first two episodes from the first season, and I can't help but wonder what is the etymology of the name "Doctor Who"? And why does the protagonist call himself "the Doctor" (or is it "the doctor")? Why Does Harry Have a Scar When Avada Kedavra Leaves No Trace? Why does Harry have a scar when Avada Kedavra leaves no trace?     ‘The Muggle authorities were perplexed. As far as I am aware, they do not know to this day how the Riddles died, for the Avada Kedavra Curse does not usually leave any sign of damage ... the exception sits before me,’ Dumbledore added, with a nod to Harry’s scar.   Half-Blood Prince - page 343 - Bloomsbury - chapter 17, A Sluggish Memory   What caused Harry to retain a scar from Avada Kedavra, when no one else in know history showed any signs of cause of death when Avada Kedavra was used?  What caused Harry's scar?  I'd love an answer based in canon, such as the books, interviews with J.K. Rowling, or Pottermore. What is a word that means "someone who pretends to be your friend but is actually your enemy?" What do you call someone who pretends to be your friend but is actually your enemy?  A friend suggested spy for me, but that does not nearly describe the word I need for an English project. The character is very good at manipulating how people see him. He's a good liar. And pretends to be your friend but actually is your enemy. Does the closedness of a subgroup $H$ of $G$ imply that for $h\in H, g\in G \setminus H : hg \not \in H$? Does the closedness of a subgroup $H$ of $G$ imply that for $h\in H, g\in G \setminus H: hg \not \in H$?  I'm new to abstract algebra and this would appear to be a useful result. However, by definition, a subgroup is nearly closed, and I don't think this directly implies that for any element $g$ from $G$ not in $H$, the composition $gh \not \in H$.  Is this in fact a true statement? Is there any way to add if elif and else in drivers?  Given the way we do if and else, here are two examples out of few other things i tried to get the statement right but unable to do so:  var-3.5 if (var&lt;0) var+3.5 elif (var&gt;0) else 1  var-3.5 if (var&lt;0) elif var+3.5 (var&gt;0) else 1   And also if there's any other way to add multiple if/else similarly? Overview of basic facts about Cauchy functional equation Thailand visa exemption: any rule limiting number of entries per year? What are good starting settings to store for exposure bracketing shots? I started experimenting with the Custom Functions (C1,C2,C3) on my Canon 7D and I decided a useful one to have may be setting it up for exposure bracketing. So it's a quick switch if I ever need it, as opposed to going through the menu to set it up.  I realize the settings would vastly depend on the situation, but do you have any suggestions for some good all round settings to program in as a starting point?    Examples: 1 stop vs 1 1/3 vs 2 stop brackets / ISO choices / Metering mode / shooting mode and so on. Obtaining a formula for prediction limits in a linear model (i.e.: prediction intervals) Let's take the following example:  set.seed(342) x1 &lt;- runif(100) x2 &lt;- runif(100) y &lt;- x1+x2 + 2*x1*x2 + rnorm(100) fit &lt;- lm(y~x1*x2)   This creates a model of y based on x1 and x2, using a OLS regression.  If we wish to predict y for a given x_vec we could simply use the formula we get from the summary(fit).  However, what if we want to predict the lower and upper predictions of y? (for a given confidence level).  How then would we build the formula? Separate labels in cases As much as I have tried, it doesn't seem possible to use separate labels when using a casesconstruction (from the amsmath package).  Ideally, I would like to be able to write something like  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{equation} f(x)=\begin{cases}   1&amp;x\geq0\label{positive}\\   0&amp;x&lt;0\label{negative} \end{cases} \end{equation} \end{document}   and later refer to both cases at different places. What would be the best way to achieve this result? The result of ls * , ls ** and ls *** I know using the command ls will list all the directories. But what does the ls * command do ? I used it and it just lists the directories. Does the star in front of ls mean how deep it will list the directories? How do I perform an IF...THEN in an SQL SELECT? How do I perform an IF...THEN in an SQL SELECT statement?  For example:  SELECT IF(Obsolete = 'N' OR InStock = 'Y' ? 1 : 0) AS Saleable, * FROM Product Why is $\Gamma\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\pi}$? It seems as if no one has asked this here before, unless I don't know how to search.  The Gamma function is $$ \Gamma(\alpha)=\int_0^\infty x^{\alpha-1} e^{-x}\,dx. $$ Why is $$ \Gamma\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\pi}\text{ ?} $$ (I'll post my own answer, but I know there are many ways to show this, so post your own!) How to choose the number of hidden layers and nodes in a feedforward neural network? Is there a standard and accepted method for selecting the number of layers, and the number of nodes in each layer, in a feed-forward neural network? I'm interested in automated ways of building neural networks. Let $f_n, f \colon [a,b] \to \mathbb{R}.$ Show that, if $f_n \to f$ uniformly, then the Lebesgue integrals are equal, i.e. $\int f = \lim \int f_n$.  This is clearly true for continuous functions, but how do I handle the case of non-continuous functions?
