Lighting just selected objects I have multiple objects in my scene and I have multiple light sources in it. How can I make that a certain light source affects just one selected object so it doesn't affect other objects in the scene? My render engine is Cycles.
Exclusive lighting Is (or will be) there any sort of light linking in Cycles, or a method to get a light to affect only certain objects that doesn't involve compositing two or more different render layers? Sort of what 3Dstudio does with the Include/Exclude methods.
Pandemic, Global Epidemic, Epidemic, Endemic I really want to hear from the experts the definitions of all 4 terms especially whether global epidemic is equivalent to pandemic. Or should this question be directed to the epidemiologist?   Pandemic Global Epidemic Epidemic Endemic   I have Googled the terms and I understand the definition of 1), 3) and 4). In short the definition is based on geographical location and scale of outbreak, Pandemic is an outbreak of disease on a global scale (e.g. HIV). Epidemic is an outbreak of disease on a localised area. Endemic is a disease in a localised area. However, a definition for Global Epidemic is not available online.  Recently, WHO mentioned that "“It is important to put this on the table: this virus(Covid19) may become just another endemic virus in our communities, and this virus may never go away,” WHO emergencies expert Mike Ryan told an online briefing." Isn't covid19 considered a pandemic since it is on a global scale and is spreading rapidly?  Another term that I come across often is Global Epidemic. For example in the WHO website, HIV is listed as Global Epidemic. Does that mean Pandemic and Global Epidemic are the same? switch a theme different per user role I plan to use the member plugin by Justin Tadlock  I wish to know if how could I, on the front side, auto switch to a theme according to a role status.. for example authors would have the site presented using theme 1 while editor would have the site presenter using theme 2  I would rather have 2 different theme rather than conditionals within one theme structure  Thank you in advance How can an encryption scheme be indistinguishable with multiple messages but vulnerable to an adaptive chosen-plaintext attack? In order to be indistinguishable with respect to multiple messages, wouldn't the scheme need to be nondeterministic? How would this then possibly be vulnerable to an adaptive CPA?

My 2nd great-grandmother, Margaret Elizabeth Armegust or Arbingast, was born 22 Sept 1837 in Ohio and died 24 July 1929 at the Richmond State Hospital, Wayne, Indiana, United States.  She lived for a time in Sparta, Noble, Indiana and Stock, Harrison, Ohio. She was married to John B. Miller on 22 Oct 1859 in Noble and they had at least five children: James, Samuel, Elias, Julia, and John.  I am searching for records from the State Hospital to learn of her diagnosis and treatment. New questions, Show Recommended, Sort Newest not working Select New questions, show Recommended and sort by Newest and the  in my list is from 2012:  EDIT The very old questions now appear to be gone (yay) but the ordering seems inconsistent (boo): I was playing modern with the owner of a shop.  He played a  which he used to bring in 7 lands: 5 basic mountains and 2  cards.  He then claimed that each  triggered 5 times (killing me).  I am doubting this now.    Here is my reason: The two  cards entered at the same time as the other 5 basic lands.  That means when they were on the battlefield and their ability was in effect, the other 5 basic lands were already there too.  That seems too late to trigger a "Enters the Battlefield" effect.  So here is my question.  Am I right or wrong?  If I am wrong, please show me how the enter the battlefield effect can trigger for something that enters the battlefield at the same time as itself.  If I am right, please show me the rules that prove it.  I now have two shop owners that are convinced that this is a legal play.  If it is not legal, I am going to need clear rules citations to convince them.    Side note:  If I am wrong and it is a legal play, then I have a follow up scenario.  Say I have 2  cards and 5 other human cards in my graveyard.  If I play a spell that lets me return all of them to the battlefield at the same time (say ), would the  cards get 6 +1/+1 counters on them?    To me, if the trick that was played on me with  is legal then my  cards should also get the +1/+1 counters.

In my laptop (a Lenovo y470 ) there are three USB ports. One of those is USB 3.0 others are USB 2.0 . I do not know which one is what. When I copy data from my External HDD it transfers at 38MB/s from all of the USB ports. (Which is a good speed for USB 2 transfers, but to low for USB 3).  I used the device manager to confirm that I have one USB 3.0 port.    Is there a way a can figure out which port is 3.0 ? How can I solve this quantum mechanical "paradox"?

Don't count non-printing characters, HTML comments or other content not displayed toward minimum character requirements A follow-up to , and an extension of .   shows that it is possible to circumvent minimum character requirements using null bytes.  Can we exclude such non-printing characters as ASCII NULL and other control characters from counting toward minimum character requirements?  Edit: Users have demonstrated that , unmatched or invalid HTML tags, and other content that is not displayed after Markdown parsing can be used to bypass such requirements as well.  Can we cover this case as well, except for links?
