Travel in the Schengen area after my residence card was lost or stolen I have already booked my flight from Italy to the Netherlands through Ryanair. I'm staying in Italy legally and have a carta di soggiorno. However, after booking my flight, my wallet was stolen, which contains all my IDs except my passport. I filed a police report, and I'm trying to get a new residence card. However, I need to go to the Netherlands ASAP. Will Ryanair accept the police report and receipt of getting a new residence card from the post office?  UPDATE (17.07.2014)  Thanks for helping me out. BTW it's OK now. I went to our local CISL here in Florence, Italy, where they process your envelope for renewing your permesso di soggornio or carta di soggiorno (residence permit for foreigners) to be submitted to the post office. That's where you pay and get your postal receipt, and they make an appointment for you at the questura. Anyway, long story short, they processed a application for IMPROVISED residence permit which is good for 30 days to travel within the Schengen area, so all I have to do is go to the questura, bring my travel booking, the police report and copy of my passport. Now I can travel, and it's my first time to fly with Ryanair because I always use Transavia to go to Holland. =) Hope this helps for future persons who will have the same issue with lost or stolen residence permits...Just wish me luck that the questura will process my improvised residence permit immediately. After installing Telegram Desktop on Ubuntu 16.04 by these commands:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/telegram sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install telegram   I get this error:  $ telegram telegram: Panic - Unable to find your tty (pts/2) in /var/run/utmp Prove that if 51 positive integers between 1 and 100 are chosen, then one of them must divide another. Given $51$ integers $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{51}$ satisfying $1 \leq a_i \leq 100$. Prove that there exist $i$ and $j$ such that $a_i \mid a_j$.   I'm a little unsure how to approach this problem. Thanks for any help. Produce an explicit bijection between rationals and naturals? How do I determine the size of an object in Python? Say I'm flying from Sydney, to Los Angeles (S2LA), back to Sydney (LA2S).  During S2LA, travelling with the rotation of the earth, would the flight time be longer than LA2S on account of Los Angeles turning/moving away from our position?  Or, in the opposite direction, would the flight to Sydney be faster since the Earth turns underneath us and moves Sydney closer?  ===   Please ignore jet stream effects and all other variables; this is a control case in an ideal environment. By "dramatically" I suppose I mean a delay of 1 hour or more. When I shoot a ball vertically upward, its velocity is decreasing since  there is a downward acceleration of about $9.8\,\mathrm{ms}^{-2}$.   I have read that at the top most point, when $v = 0$, the acceleration is still $9.8\,\mathrm{ms}^{-2}$ in the downward direction where $v=0$. That is, the acceleration is still the same.  But at the highest point, the ball is stationary, so it is not even moving. How can it accelerate? Do you have to want to hurt someone for the cruciatus curse to work? Closest points on two line segments I am looking for a general formulation to find the closest points on two line segments. What I was thinking about is to define our lines as:  $$ P1 + s  (P2-P1)$$  $$ Q1 + t  (Q2-Q1)$$  Where $P1 , P2, Q1$ and $Q2$ are the beginning and the end points on each segment.  Now we should go through an optimization problem as: $\min f(s,t)$ such that $0&lt;s&lt;1$ and $0&lt;t&lt;1$.  Where $f(s,t)$ is the point-to-point distance function.  Is there any straight forward solution? I have a mathematical problem with the following formula. The goal is to transform this equation to have a seperated real and imaginary part. I have already done this with several other equasions, but for this particualar one I don't know where to start.  I dont expect you to do the complete work of transforming for me, it would already be very nice if you could give me a hind on how you would start.  Thank you in advance!  C||RLC      This is my current progress:    My question is:  How can I get rid of the imaginary part jωC2*R?  When the denominator is completely real I can just split up the formula and have an imaginary and a real part. How to print variables without spaces between values How to download an MP3 track from a YouTube video I asked about it on  and they told me to post it here.  Probably need to add the :active to the :hover meta class or something like that.  Example:      Hammer Time A google search gives number of methods to hide ALL tabs in chrome , but I want to hide 1 particular tab / change the display name of that tab.   Reason: I have an online music playing website open, which keeps showing tracks in the tab name and I just want to remove it from view of my work. Is stopwatch benchmarking acceptable? Does anyone ever use stopwatch benchmarking, or should a performance tool always be used?  Are there any good free tools available for Java?  What tools do you use?  To clarify my concerns, stopwatch benchmarking is subject to error due to operating system scheduling.  On a given run of your program the OS might schedule another process (or several) in the middle of the function you're timing.  In Java, things are even a little bit worse if you're trying to time a threaded application, as the JVM scheduler throws even a little bit more randomness into the mix.  How do you address operating system scheduling when benchmarking? Moving app to production mode in Symfony 2 I am just curious that the following format looks good to you or not? The preamble I used is just   \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}  \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsthm} \usepackage{amssymb}   I don't feel it's so good because the first paragraph has no indent but the second does. If the first paragraph is much longer, than it's fine. But if not, it looks strange. Should I leave it, or you have suggestions for this? How can I decide between the medium sized intuos tablet or the small one? I am a high school student with an interest for drawing tablets for some hobby. I went to check on a store that sell Intuos, a sales representative (or something) of Wacom told me that most students buy the medium sized tablets. Even the staff said that since it is always bought the supplies of the medium size are a lot more than the small size.  I am on a tight budget (which is why I am buying the Intuos), and the small size seems small to me (when my hands are open, my thumb and my pinky would reach the sides). But then, why would Wacom sell the Manga variant in small? Is the staff just saying that so I would buy the more expensive one?  I have enough savings from my small allowance to buy the small size right now, should I wait for another month so that I can buy the medium size? Why would parametric statistics ever be preferred over nonparametric? Can someone explain to me why would anyone choose a parametric over a nonparametric statistical method for hypothesis testing or regression analysis?   In my mind, it's like going for rafting and choosing a non-water resistant watch, because you may not get it wet. Why not use the tool that works on every occasion? I edit a lot of posts every day. I often run across posts with 'Hi' and 'Thanks' on the top and the bottom of the post respectively. I also run across things like:     --User   Should these items be removed during the editing of the post by an editor?
