Is there a way to hide from imperial troops? Sometimes I just looking for a piece of ore and hear one of my teammates say 'Imperial ship above!", and, a few minutes later, that ship will drop a few soldiers on my face.  Is there anything to do to 'dodge' that encounter? It feels like there would be a way to hide from imperial troops?
Is there a way I can avoid imperial ships? Whenever I am traveling on foot, imperial ships will fly by and drop down troops for me to fight. In a normal situation, this is no big deal and I will fight or flee to continue with my travels.  However this will also occur when I am doing a quest that requires me to locate and pick up items. This is an inconvenience as I cannot pick up items while in combat and I have to kill them before I can continue.  Is there a way I can "hide" and allow the ships to by pass my location?
Why should I use an Initialization Vector (IV) when I have unique keys? I took a look at  but my question is not the same.  I have unique keys encrypting each plaintext (in CBC mode, AES-256) and I do not use a key to encrypt more than one plaintext. Is it insecure to use null IVs in this case? If it is insecure, why? If you have a java.io.InputStream object, how should you process that object and produce a String?    Suppose I have an InputStream that contains text data, and I want to convert it to a String, so for example I can write that to a log file.  What is the easiest way to take the InputStream and convert it to a String?  public String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {     // ??? } Is it possible to have multiple bevel objects along a curve? I'm wondering if it's possible to define multiple bevel objects along a curve and have Blender interpolate between the bevels like keyframes. (p → q) ∧ ¬p ⇒ ¬q  I have tried to use the rules of inference in many ways to prove this argument to be valid. However, I cannot seem to find a way to validate the argument, but I am afraid I have missed something.  Using a truth table I find that when p and q is 0, then p → q is 1, ¬p is 1 and ¬q is 1. Would that not make the argument valid?  I apologize in advance if I have misunderstood the whole concept. Any answer would be much appreciated. Thank you I am reading separable extension. I don't quite understand why $\text{char} 0$ fields must be perfect. If $F$ is a $\text{char} 0$ field, $f(x)$ is an irreducible polynomial in $F[x]$. Then why $f$ must be separable? Assume $f$ has multiple roots, say $r$ is a multiple root of $f(x)$. Then $r$ is also a root of $f'(x)$. $r$ is in the splitting field of $f(x)$ over $F$, denote it as $E$. Then why $f$ must divide $f'$? I know $f$ is irreducible but I don't know how the argument goes on. Thanks for any help! Increasing the size of tyres on a hybrid We are planning on doing some mountain biking in a few weeks time and we'd like to get some wider tyres for my wife's hybrid. I know there are similar questions and answers out there on this topic, but I need some specific help to make sure I buy the right tyres.  The bike is a Ladies Scott Sportster 50 2015, the best website I could find with a fairly accurate spec is     It's currently got Kenda K-180 700 x 38c / 30TPI tyres on it, which are fairly good all rounders and capable of running on clean forest paths but I don't think they would handle anything heavier.  It's got disk brakes so there isn't a clearance issue there, but I have noticed the frame is generally narrower than true MTBs, here are some photos i took of it.    Has anyone put larger, knobblier tyres on this kind of hybrid? whats the largest I can get away with? - I'm also slightly confused by all the tyre sizing, I'm sure someone told me this is a 27.5" tyre, but 700 seems to mean 29" on a lot of websites.  Any advice is very much appreciated, Thanks. Indicating a name change after publication My wife has publications under both her maiden name and her married name. How should she indicate that this is the case on her CV, if she wants to mention publications from both time periods? Ted Shifrin on this site posed an interesting problem to me: show that   $$ \lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac {|x|^ \alpha |y|^ \beta} {|x|^ \gamma + |y|^ \delta} \text {exists} \iff \frac\alpha\gamma + \frac\beta\delta &gt; 1, \,\,\,\,\text{where } \alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta &gt;0$$  I think I've got the $(\Leftarrow)$ direction as follows: assume WLOG that $\gamma \leq \delta$. Then switch to polar coordinates and get   $$\frac {r^ {\alpha + \beta} (*) } {r^\gamma (1(*) + r^{\delta - \gamma}(*))},$$  where $(*)$ represents some trig stuff that is bounded near zero.   Edit: I need to make sure that $(1(*) + r^{\delta - \gamma}(*))$ is bounded below here.  The other direction is giving me some trouble. It seems we need a lower bound for the fraction (something to force to zero), and I'm not sure where to find one. In particular, I'm not sure what to do with the denominator. Any ideas? "In the case of medical diagnostics, there is a cost associated with each medical procedure that provides additional information (blood test, x-ray, etc.)."

Determine the smallest positive value of x(in degrees) for which: $\tan(x+100^{\circ}) = \tan(x+50^{\circ})\tan (x)\tan(x-50^{\circ})$ Math mode in tabular without having to use $...$ everywhere How do I find out what fonts are used in a document/picture? Is it possible to identify the font used in a specific document/picture?  Answers to this question should identify:   Possible methods to do this (perhaps one answer per method) and adequately describe how to use it (as opposed to merely stating it); Ways of finding the identified fonts, if possible (free or not); and Any prerequisites associated with the method used, if required (for example, "In order to use method X, your document has to be in format Y").   This question is meant as an FAQ, based on an . Its aim is to facilitate the community with the general procedures involved in font identification. Similar cases are solved on a per-usage basis on 's  tag. How to put small numbers outside the pie slices without making a mess I'm new to LaTeX and need some help with my figures.

Thanks in advance :) I'm going to reset my Android tab because its internal memory is low.  Is it safe to erase the system data of my android tablet (not rooted)? If I restore the factory setting of my Android, will the uninstallable apps be also removed or only those that can be uninstalled? Let $A$ be a complex matrix such that $A^n = I$, show that $A$ is diagonalisable.  How do I do this?    I would hazard a guess that since $A^n = I$ that means that $A^n$ is obvious diagonal, and I suppose that a diagonal matrix can only be formed by the square of another diagonal matrix, but I am not sure if that is the case. Also I think this neglects the complex cases.  Is there a Jordan block argument that I should use? A linking verb is a verb which connects a subject to its predicate   without expressing an action. A linking verb is used to re-identify or   describe its subject.      Ex:      Alan is a beast.      Alan seems drunk.   But I would say that some linking verbs can be used with "continuous tenses" &amp; other linking verbs can not, but I am not sure.      (linking verb) to experience a particular feeling or emotion      Ex: I’m feeling a little better today.      Do you still feel hungry?   So, feel in this meaning can be used with continuous tenses  But I would think this sentence "Do you still feel hungry?" does not make much sense because it uses "simple present tense" which expresses something that happens regularly. Noone would feel hungry regularly.  So, that sentence "you feel hungry" would mean "you always feel hungry".      (linking verb) (not used in the progressive tenses): to have a   particular physical quality which you become aware of by touching         adj.         The water feels warm.      Its skin feels really smooth.    says "Speakers sometimes use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is happening or is not happening now. This can only be done with Non-Continuous Verbs and certain Mixed Verbs."  so, "The water feels warm." could mean "The water is always warm" (simple present expressing things that happen regularly - more or less permanent action)  But "The water feels warm." could mean "The water is warm now" (simple present with non-continuous verb expressing things that is happening now - a temporary action)     : (linking verb) to seem; to appear         adj.         to look pale/happy/tired      That book looks interesting.   In dictionary,      (linking verb) (not used in the progressive tenses): to   give the impression of being or doing something         adj.         She didn't appear surprised at all.       (to somebody) (to be) something (not used in the progressive tenses): to give the impression of being or doing something (synonym:   appear)         adj.         You seem happy.   So, we cannot say "you are seeming happy" or "you are appearing happy".  But I am not sure I can say "You are looking good" (sounds right to my ears) or "That book is looking interesting." (doesn't sound right to my ears)  But we can say "The future’s looking good." ()  So, some verbs has the same meaning but one can be used with "continuous" &amp; the other can not, right?  Ex: "you are looking happy", but "you seem happy". An epimorphism from $S_{4}$ to $S_{3}$ having the kernel isomorphic to Klein four-group Exercise $7$, page 51 from Hungerford's book Algebra.     Show that $N=\{(1),(12)(34), (13)(24),(14)(23)\}$ is a normal subgroup   of $S_{4}$ contained in $A_{4}$ such that $S_{4}/N\cong S_{3}$ and   $A_{4}/N\cong \mathbb{Z}_{3}$.   I solved the question after many calculations. I would like to know if is possible to define an epimorphism $\varphi$ from $S_{4}$ to $S_{3}$ such that $N=\ker(\varphi)$.
