I have a project, and it has an object that has always rendered correctly, but one day when I open the project and make a test render, the object has disappeared. All the settings are normal, the object, and all of its children render display in the object outliner set to true. I really don't know what happened to it. Can someone tell me what I should look through to diagnose it? Sorry I cannot provide much detail. What I've explained is all I know. Edit: I am uploading the .blend file at  This is a Minecraft scene. It is the wolf that doesn't render. At one point it did, but now it just won't. The wolf has particle properties. I don't know if that matters, but it could. Look through all the wolf's properties to try and figure it out. Installing titling.sty onto an offline Windows machine I'm trying to compile a file for which I need titling.sty:  ! LaTeX Error: File `titling.sty` not found.  The two biggest issues are 1) it's on a Windows machine (I'm really only &quot;comfortable&quot; with the Unix command line) and 2) the machine cannot be connected to the internet (so automatic approaches are impossible). Assuming the error means I'm missing a package and following some related advice (e.g., ), I downloaded the file , transferred it to the offline machine, and unzipped it, then tried to run: latex titling.ins  But this gave me an error (given I can't copy-paste, I'm including what I think may be relevant):  ******************************************************** * No Configuration file found, using default settings. * ******************************************************** ! ************************************************** * Could not find your \batchfile=titling.ins. **************************************************. \processbatchFile ...****************************}                                                  \fi \else \ifDefault \Msg ... 1.1092 \process@first@batchfile  I have no idea how to proceed from this. How can I install titling.sty on this machine? Get last n lines of a file, similar to tail I'm writing a log file viewer for a web application and for that I want to paginate through the lines of the log file.  The items in the file are line based with the newest item at the bottom. So I need a tail() method that can read n lines from the bottom and support an offset.  This is hat I came up with: def tail(f, n, offset=0):     &quot;&quot;&quot;Reads a n lines from f with an offset of offset lines.&quot;&quot;&quot;     avg_line_length = 74     to_read = n + offset     while 1:         try:             f.seek(-(avg_line_length * to_read), 2)         except IOError:             # woops.  apparently file is smaller than what we want             # to step back, go to the beginning instead             f.seek(0)         pos = f.tell()         lines = f.read().splitlines()         if len(lines) &gt;= to_read or pos == 0:             return lines[-to_read:offset and -offset or None]         avg_line_length *= 1.3  Is this a reasonable approach?  What is the recommended way to tail log files with offsets? Is there a way to get DateTime value from timestamp type column? When functions commute under composition Today I was thinking about composition of functions.  It has nice properties, its always associative, there is an identity, and if we restrict to bijective functions then we have an inverse.  But then I thought about commutativity.  My first intuition was that bijective self maps of a space should commute but then I saw some counter-examples. The symmetric group is only abelian if $n \le 2$ so clearly there need to be more restrictions on functions than bijectivity for them to commute.  The only examples I could think of were boring things like multiplying by a constant or maximal tori of groups like $O(n)$ (maybe less boring).  My question: In a euclidean space, what are (edit) some nice characterizations of sets of functions that commute? What about in a more general space?   Bonus: Is this notion of commutativity important anywhere in analysis? Related questions in "Ask Question" page is better than the search tool Decoupling capacitors: what size and how many?

(See comments to the question: the OP tried to include a couple of long XML files, but that wasn't possible.)  What's the recommended approach to including code/data, when there's just too much of it to embed in the question?  I could think of a few approaches myself:   Paste the data to a pastebin and link (and wait for the links to die) Encode the (compressed) data in an image and include that (kludgy!) Implement an attachment feature in Stack&nbsp;Overflow (which will probably be abused) Identify story: Overpopulation problem causes people to live one day a week This story is about a man that is able to live every day of the week, while everybody else has a single day of wakefulness assigned to them. Due to overpopulation, each human spends 6 out of 7 days of the week in stasis, and has jobs assigned to them in daily shifts. 1/7 of the population works on Monday. 1/7 works on Tuesday, &amp; so on. The main character has found away to circumvent the process and illegally live out his days consecutively by skipping the stasis program that is imposed on the general population and by working a different job everyday. Can somebody name this scifi story? I have a raster aerial photo.  I have county wide parcel data.  I want to clip/screen shot the raster at each individual parcel.  Think of this application - a post card with an image of your house --here is your house--  I want to have each parcel attribute to contain information + hyperlink of the aerial photo.  Any other solutions welcome, but this is the only method I could think of. Although I am unsure of how to achieve it efficiently.  Using ArcInfo 10. How to install World of Warcraft? Is it possible to change the line style in a tikz figure in the same \draw command?

Why is "Nature" usually spelt with an initial capital letter in scientific journals? I am mainly referring to life science here, in case this matters.  I am not talking about the obvious cases, like capitalisation in titles, at the beginning of a sentence, etc., but when it appears mid-sentence, where one would normally expect it to be lowercase.  I've heard some explanation that it gives the impression of Nature as a goddess (see comments on this post ) - but this is probably the last thing I would have expected in a scientific article... The coefficient of an explanatory variable in a multiple regression tells us the relationship of that explanatory variable with the dependent variable. All this, while 'controlling' for the other explanatory variables.  How I have viewed it so far:  While each coefficient is being calculated, the other variables are not taken into account, so I consider them to be ignored.   So am I right when I think that the terms 'controlled' and 'ignored' can be used interchangeably?
