Very new to blender, first time question.  I could not find a similar problem searching existing answers.  I have a rendering, and no matter how many lights or suns I add, this model stays dark.  That's a light colored wood texture that appears dark.  This is an imported STL file.  It seems like no matter how many lights I add, it stays the same amount of dark.  You can see my settings in the next photo.  I have a sun, a point light, and spot light all by the model, but no difference weather I turn them on or off.    Thank you for any help.
When I apply a glossy shader to the material of my text, the text becomes just black. Why?    I have lamp and everything, but the problem persists. The text is red before I add the glossy shader.  I'm using Cycles render.   Thanks!
"Its" as a Possessive Pronoun Since its can be both determiner possessive pronoun and nominal possessive pronoun, an example of its as determiner possessive pronoun would be:     We saved this question for last because of its complexity.   Because complexity is a noun, so its must be a determiner possessive pronoun in this sentence. I'm looking for an example where its is used as nominal possessive pronoun in a sentence as above. I've heard that ratios or inverses of random variables often are problematic, in not having expectations. Why is that? The title is the question. I am told that ratios and inverses of random variables often are problematic. What is meant is that expectation often do not exist. Is there a simple, general explication of that? Is there an issue tracker for already reported Mathematica bugs? We are developing a new Lightning Community to replace our Partner Community. However, when we use our visualforce pages with LightningStylesheets=true on the Lightning Community, the Lightning styling is not applied.  I understand that this is the case because Lightning Communities are not Lightning Experience.  Is there a way to force LightningStylesheets anyway? I am trying to stay away from having to rebuild/restyle all our legacy visualforce pages. Class vs Struct for data only? Is there any advantage over using a class over a struct in cases such as these?  (note: it will only hold variables, there will never be functions)  class Foo {  private:       struct Pos { int x, y, z }; public:        Pos Position;  };   Versus:  struct Foo {    struct Pos { int x, y, z } Pos; };     Similar questions: Texstudio + Biber + build folder I used  to export my auxiliary files into a different directory. Basically i just add -aux-directory=build in Options -&gt; Configure -&gt; Commands and added the build folder into Options -&gt; Configure -&gt; Build -&gt; Build Options -&gt; Additional Search Paths -&gt; Log. This succesfully generates all the auxilliary files in the build folder and it's also possible to generate the pdf. Unfortunately biber has a problem with this setup:  Prozess gestartet: biber.exe &quot;MyFile&quot; INFO - This is Biber 1.7 INFO - Logfile is 'MyFile.blg' ERROR - Cannot find control file 'MyFile.bcf'! - did you pass the &quot;backend=biber&quot; option to BibLaTeX? INFO - ERRORS: 1  I guess i have to specify the correct path for biber somewhere in Texstudio. Does anyone know where i have to update the path?  someone had similar problems. Also i'm not sure if the solution of   applies to my situation. Is there any function that converts an escaped Url string to its unescaped form? System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlDecode() can do that job but I don't want to add a reference to System.Web.dll. Since my app is not a web application, I don't want to add a dependency for only using a function in an assembly.  UPDATE: Check  about the same issue. How do I prevent object distortion when applying a curve modifier? Using shell's read command with live editing functionality (readline like) Is there a standard (POSIX) way of asking the user some data from within a shell script, with  for example, while allowing live edition of the text being typed (what readline does)?   I know bash has read -e varname that allows for the person launching the script to use keyboard arrows for exemple, to edit or correct what has just been typed without deleting the last entered characters with backspace.   However, read -e is . And still, it is pretty cumbersome to delete all that has been wrote if you realise you made a mistake at the beginning of your long sentence... Evaluating a sequence of complex numbers: $|z_n - z_m| < \frac1{1+ |n-m|}$ Let $\{z_n\}$ be sequence of complex numbers such that   $$ |z_n - z_m| &lt; \frac{1}{1+ |n-m|} $$ for all $n,m$  Given this information, can we compute $\lim_{n \to \infty} z_n $?  Attempt:  For sure the sequence is bounded since the RHS is always $\leq 1 $. IF $z_m = 0$, then we have   $$ |z_n | &lt; 1 $$ for all $n$. I claim that the limit is $1$. How can I prove this ? Multiple Sub Query using child parent relationship Consider in my basket, I have a package (Main Product-just a holder) which will have 2 standalone products (child) and again the standalone products will have child products (Grand Parent). All these products are from same object called Product Configuration.   We have a child relationship to itself(Parent Configuration) using a custom lookup field. The problem here is, I could only fetch details only up to 1 level (i.e.,package and child details) and I was not able to drill deeper to grand child products.  Query I used to get 1 level of relation ships is below:  SELECT id, name, Access_Type__c, Circuit_Bandwidth_Value__c, QuoteType__c,     Upstream_Speed_Value__c, IP_Address_Type__c, Care_Level__c, Base_Plan_Value__c, Site_Address__c,      cscfga__Quantity__c, Quantity_of_Ip_Address__c, cscfga__Contract_Term__c, Connection_Price__c,      Monthly_Rental_Conga__c, Total_Annual_Rental__c,      (         SELECT id, name,cscfga__Product_Family__c,Upstream_Speed_Value__c, cscfga__Quantity__c, Quantity_of_Ip_Address__c,              Connection_Price__c, Monthly_Rental_Conga__c,cscfga__Parent_Configuration__r.Circuit_Bandwidth_Value__c,Circuit_Bandwidth_Value__c          FROM cscfga__Related_Configurations__r         WHERE cscfga__Parent_Configuration__c &lt;&gt; ''          ORDER BY name     )  FROM cscfga__Product_Configuration__c  WHERE cscfga__Product_Basket__r.cscfga__Opportunity__c='{pv0}'      AND cscfga__Product_Basket__r.csordtelcoa__Synchronised_with_Opportunity__c=True     AND cscfga__Parent_Configuration__c = ''  ORDER BY name   Not sure how to write another sub query to get grand child details. When I tried the below query:  SELECT id, name, Access_Type__c, Circuit_Bandwidth_Value__c, QuoteType__c, Upstream_Speed_Value__c,      IP_Address_Type__c, Care_Level__c, Base_Plan_Value__c, Site_Address__c, cscfga__Quantity__c,      Quantity_of_Ip_Address__c, cscfga__Contract_Term__c, Connection_Price__c,      Monthly_Rental_Conga__c, Total_Annual_Rental__c,     (         SELECT id, name, cscfga__Product_Family__c, Upstream_Speed_Value__c, cscfga__Quantity__c,              Quantity_of_Ip_Address__c, Connection_Price__c, Monthly_Rental_Conga__c, cscfga__Parent_Configuration__r.Circuit_Bandwidth_Value__c, Circuit_Bandwidth_Value__c,         FROM cscfga__Related_Configurations__r         WHERE cscfga__Parent_Configuration__c &lt;&gt; ''          ORDER BY name     ),     (         SELECT id, name, cscfga__Product_Family__c          FROM cscfga__Related_Configurations__r         WHERE cscfga__Parent_Configuration__c &lt;&gt; ''          ORDER BY name     ) FROM cscfga__Product_Configuration__c  WHERE cscfga__Product_Basket__r.cscfga__Opportunity__c='0066E000002Xrr0'      AND cscfga__Product_Basket__r.csordtelcoa__Synchronised_with_Opportunity__c=True      AND cscfga__Parent_Configuration__c = ''  ORDER BY name   I got below error:     MALFORMED_QUERY:  from cscfga__Related_Configurations__r ^ ERROR at   Row:6:Column:6 Cannot follow the same aggregate relationship twice:   cscfga__Related_Configurations__r   Can someone please help here. Note: I am executing these queries in Workbench. How can I make command aliases in Windows' Command Prompt like I would with bash?  I found out about doskey in , so I can do something like:  doskey ls=dir /b   ...and now the command ls acts a little more like ls on Unix.  (I type ls so often in cmd, it isn't even funny.)  But how do I get this to stick between sessions?  It goes away the next time I open cmd.exe.  (Is there something like .bash_profile?) Problem with glossary I am copying the very first piece of code from  in order to create a glossary. While I get no problem in the compilation I do not get the "glossary part" that appears in the example. I literally copy paste.  Also, I want to create a document that only consists of a glossary of various terms. That is to put everything in alphabetical order (with the possibility to include references as well). How could I possibly do this? I tried some itemize options with alphabetical order but does not look that good. Find the value of $\sin\frac{2\pi}{7}+\sin\frac{4\pi}{7}+\sin\frac{8\pi}{7}$ Can you flank with a reach weapon? The Variant: Flanking rules in the DMG (page 251) require adjacency, but is the intent that the Enemy has combatants on opposite sides and thus someone with Reach (and using the reach) could still flank even if not directly adjacent?  Looking for both RAW as well as Intent of the flanking rule. JSF 2.0 File upload Short circuit or disconnect to bypass a compressor 'chmod u+x' versus 'chmod +x' What is the difference between chmod u+x and just chmod +x?  I have seen a ton of tutorials that say to use u+x to make scripts executable.  However, omitting the u doesn't seem to have any effect. I am playing a bit around with Qgis 2.14.6 to understand how it deals with distance measurement.  I took a line-shapefile that I saved in 3 different coordinate systems (4326, 32642 and a national one that doesn't exist in Qgis yet).  Using 32642 and the national one, the length is quite similar (6442m vs. 6428m)  But using 4326 (unprojected WGS84), I get 8057m  In all cases, I just used the Field Calculator and introduced $length.  I was already positively surprised that the result using 4326 was in meters and not in degrees.  To calculate the distance on the dataset in 4326, I assume that Qgis does some kind of re-projection in the background. Does anyone know which one?   Shapefiles here if anyone wants to play around:   EDIT - adding more info after more tests  As you can see, now both my shapefile and the project are in EPSG:4326, so unprojected:    Here the rough measurement of my shapefile, with the Qgis measure tool:   When I use the field calculator, the preview gives me a value in degrees, while the result seems to be in meters:      This would mean that the function $length, like the measurement tool, always gives a result in meters, but using a very coarse approximation of the degrees => meters transformation:    Is this a bug? or should it really behave like this? I find it at best counter-intuitive (but maybe it's just me) and, at worse, completely misleading (it makes very little sense to use, everywhere on earth, the length of 1 degree at the Equator). Any input or opinion here? Should I open a bug report (at least for the inconsistency between the preview and the actual result)? Sometimes we may ask questions on stack exchange or online forums wherein the response is helpful or even essential to a piece of work that gets published in an academic journal. If this occurs, how should credit be given to those involved in the exchange? Should they all be included as authors? Should a link to the forum be included as a reference in the paper?  Once something is in a stack exchange or forum, it's "published". Perhaps in the future, the current peer review model will transform into people writing blogs and posting in forums and databases. But for now, how might this issue be dealt with while forums, blogs, etc coexist with journals?
