Didnt receive Entry stamp while entering France via Bus from London I traveled to Paris last year from London on my Indian passport with a Schengen Visa (From the French embassy). I am a UK resident with BRP. As my visit was via bus and the immigration officer was in a hurry to clear the bus, he didn't stamp my passport stating when I entered France.  Now when I made my last visit to Italy this summer, I was interrogated on arrival because I got an exit stamp from France, but no entry stamp. They were worried that I might have overstayed during my last visit, which is not the case.  Now I want to apply again to France to get another Schengen visa (mine expired last week). I am now worried that they might reject it for the same reason.  Shall I be worried? It's not my mistake, I didn't know then that I needed to get the passport stamped.  Edit: I stumbled upon this article,  It looks like french immigration officers do miss stamping quite often. Hope this wont be blocker, if someone can shed some light that would be useful
Missing Schengen entrance stamp Last night I took a night train from Romania to Hungary. I shared a compartment with another American backpacker (and others.) The border crossing on the Romanian side was normal -- all of our passports were stamped and the border officer recorded our data in his notepad. On the Hungarian side, some sort of commotion broke out further down the train car while we were being processed. The officer who was scanning and stamping our passports left and never came back. As a result, the other American backpacker never had her passport scanned or stamped.  What sort of difficulties might she run into since her passport has not been recorded as entering the schengen zone, nor does she have an extra stamp? What might get options be now, from within Schengen, to get her entrance recorded?  (When I say "scanned", the officers had hand-held devices that read the passport biometrics and I assume, recorded some sort of data somewhere.)
I have read that a holomorphic function in an open disc has a primitive in that disc. Does this mean that for any holomorphic function $f$ in any open set $U,$ that $f$ has a primitive? I say this because I can take a large enough open disc to cover the open set $U$ and find its primitive there. Is this a correct way of thinking? How can I solve the folowing Diophantine equation with two unknowns? Find one integer solution to the following Diophantine equation:   \begin{equation*} \\\forall \,x,y \in \mathbb{Z}\\ 6xy + x - y = 274 \end{equation*}   The resultat ist $x = 9$, $y = 5$ (Obtained with  )  I need to know a method that allows me to reach such a result. How can I calculate the value of these two variables in a Diophantine equation? For example: 6xy + x - y = 458 inverted breve accent in math mode How to check if $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac 1{n!}$ is converging or diverging by direct comparison test? $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac 1{n!}$$   I think we may compare it with $\frac{1}{n^n}$, and say that $\frac{1}{n!}&gt;\frac{1}{n^n}$. But I am not sure of the convergence or divergence of $\frac{1}{n^n}$ itself, so this turns out to be useless.  What other way is there? singlespacing in table with no indent As per title, I wish to know if I can, after a successful 32bit setup and consequent software installations, update to a 64bit version.  I know how to partition (actually one of the solutions is to set /, /etc, /home, /var/www, and /opt as separate partitions) and I know that a clean install is way better than a dirty one, yet I would like to know if/how it's possible to do that. extract string between double quotes I have requirement that i need to extract string using quotes. My string as follows.  "abcd efgh" "ijkl mnop" "qrst uvwxyz"   can you help me to get the string between second double quotes(ijkl mnop) using sed or grep command.  In other words if I say give me the string in first quotes I want the  first string; if I say second string it should give me string between second double quotes and similarly third one also. biblatex ieee style same authors Can I set background image and opacity in the same property? How to prove if $n$ is prime and $n | a^2$ then $n | a$? My professor assigned this for homework but I don't understand how to connect the dots. He suggested using the fact that $\gcd (x,y) \cdot \operatorname{lcm} (x,y) = xy$ but I'm not sure how that's relevant. Shell Script for logging into a ssh server converge and converge absolutely of a series $f(x)$ is a continuos fuction in $[0, 1]$ and differentiable twice on $0$.  $U_n=(-1)^{n}f(\frac{1}{n})$. I need to prove that:   $1.$if $\sum_{n=1}^\infty U_n$ converge then $f(0)=0$.  $2.$if $f(0)=f'(0)=0$ then $\sum_{n=1}^\infty U_n$ converge absolutely.  Now, from the detail that $f(x)$ is differentiable twice on $0$ I think I need to write $f(1/n)$ with Maclaurin series with 2 degree but it doesn't work very nice. can you guide me please? thanks!

This click data is currently being evaluated to see what we can do with it. Ideas welcome! Say I have some historical data e.g., past stock prices, airline ticket price fluctuations, past financial data of the company...  Now someone (or some formula) comes along and says "let's take/use the log of the distribution" and here's where I go WHY?  Questions:   WHY should one take the log of the distribution in the first place? WHAT does the log of the distribution 'give/simplify' that the original distribution couldn't/didn't? Is the log transformation 'lossless'? I.e., when transforming to log-space and analyzing the data, do the same conclusions hold for the original distribution? How come? And lastly WHEN to take the log of the distribution? Under what conditions does one decide to do this?   I've really wanted to understand log-based distributions (for example lognormal) but I never understood the when/why aspects - i.e., the log of the distribution is a normal distribution, so what? What does that even tell and me and why bother? Hence the question!  UPDATE: As per @whuber's comment I looked at the posts and for some reason I do understand the use of log transforms and their application in linear regression, since you can draw a relation between the independent variable and the log of the dependent variable. However, my question is generic in the sense of analyzing the distribution itself - there is no relation per se that I can conclude to help understand the reason of taking logs to analyze a distribution. I hope I'm making sense :-/  In regression analysis you do have constraints on the type/fit/distribution of the data and you can transform it and define a relation between the independent and (not transformed) dependent variable. But when/why would one do that for a distribution in isolation where constraints of type/fit/distribution are not necessarily applicable in a framework (like regression). I hope the clarification makes things more clear than confusing :)  This question deserves a clear answer as to "WHY and WHEN" One thing that seems to be missing in the Top&nbsp;Bar is a link to the Stack&nbsp;Exchange portal.

How do I use itertools.groupby()? I haven't been able to find an understandable explanation of how to actually use Python's itertools.groupby() function.  What I'm trying to do is this:  Take a list - in this case, the children of an objectified lxml element Divide it into groups based on some criteria Then later iterate over each of these groups separately.  I've reviewed , but I've had trouble trying to apply them beyond a simple list of numbers. So, how do I use of itertools.groupby()?  Is there another technique I should be using?
