Force figure placement in text I have a problem when a lot of figures are in question. Some figures tend to "fly around", that is, be a paragraph below, although I placed them before that paragraph. I use code:  \begin{figure}[ht] \begin{center} \advance\leftskip-3cm \advance\rightskip-3cm \includegraphics[keepaspectratio=true,scale=0.6]{slike/visina8} \caption{} \label{visina8} \end{center}\end{figure}   to place my figures. How can I tell latex I REALLY want the figure in that specific place, no matter how much whitespace will be left? Area of intersection of two Annulus Given two separate annulus with centers $[C_1,C_2]$ and their corresponding radii being $[R_1,r_1]$ and $[R_2,r_2]$ respectively, larger radius being $R$. There are methods to look at whether they are overlapping or not. If they overlap how to find the overlapping area. Is there any close form expression for it?  equation of first annulus   $r_1^2&lt;(x-x_{c1})^2 + (y-y_{c1})^2 &lt;R_1^2$   equation of second annulus  $r_2^2&lt;(x-x_{c2})^2 + (y-y_{c2})^2 &lt;R_2^2$  If there are three circles overlapping, we get overlapping area as solution to set of 4 in-equations by least squares approach(Though we don't end up getting total area but, area within tangents of circles ). Problem with clickable archive.org URLs In Book 1, Artemis et al escaped from the time stop by drugging themselves to sleep.  In the same time stop, Julius Root "accidentally" plugged Briar Cudgeon with a tranquilizer dart.  Cudgeon fell asleep, but did not disappear from the time stop.  Why not? Keeping track of programs When I install a simple program it often uses make &amp;&amp; make install and doesn't often even have an uninstall target.  If I wish to upgrade a program, is it standard protocol to assume it just rewrites seamlessly over the old program?  How do I keep track of these programs; do most people just 'fire and forget' and if no uninstall target is given do I have to manually delete everything? How do you performance test JavaScript code? CPU Cycles, Memory Usage, Execution Time, etc.?  Added: Is there a quantitative way of testing performance in JavaScript besides just perception of how fast the code runs? How to print colored text to the terminal? Cascading Dropdown I am new to SharePoint 2013. What I need to figure out is based on the following situation. I have several school districts with multiple schools within the school district. I would like to create a cascading dropdown that 1st lists the districts and then will automatically populate a list of schools within a particular district when the district is selected. Can someone tell me if this is possible and if so what steps do I take to achieve it?    Thank you! What happens when yellow light is passed through a prism? What happens when secondary colors like yellow,green and magenta are passed through a prism? Will it split into its component colors(for example yellow split into green and red)?If yes why we are observing secondary colors in the visible spectrum obtained when white light(composite light) is passed through a prism? What do you call something that is not first in a sequence? Is there a word to describe something that is not the first element in a sequence, but can be in any other position? A synonym of "not first", in fact.     This element is __ in this sequence. number of vertices in a self-complemntary graph Problem: Prove that the number of vertices of a self-complementary graph must be congruent to 0 or 1 modulo 4. I think my starting point would be that P4 and C5 are self-complementary and proceed by induction by adding P4s. I established the first step in a previous problem, but I need help on the induction step. i.e. proving that adjoining P4 will indeed yield a self-complementary graph. Is there a feasible way to take a one year break from a IT job and work as a crew member on a big ship? How can one go about this? I am a recreational sailor and know intermediate sailing, coastal navigation, radio handling and all that stuff. I think this could be the experience of a life time. Where should  I look? I imagine getting it would be hard since obviously this is a lucrative job. Normal subgroups of dihedral groups What is the meaning of the third derivative of a function at a point (Originally  by AJAY.)  What is the geometric, physical, or other meaning of the third derivative of a function at a point?  If you have interesting things to say about the meaning of the first and second derivatives, please do so. Where do the regions of Westeros appear to align as of the season 6 finale? Based on , my understanding is that there are 9 regions of Westeros subject to the rule of the Iron Throne, from Dorne joining up to Cersei killing Robert.  With whom does [insert region] align in what appears to be Daenerys vs Cersei?   Kingdom of the North -- Daenerys probably but currently busy with White Walkers Kingdom of the Mountain and the Vale -- Daenerys probably but currently busy with White Walkers (supposedly; depends on what Littlefinger has in mind) Kingdom of the Isles and Rivers (Iron Islands) -- Daenerys Kingdom of the Isles and Rivers (Riverlands) -- Cersei because the Freys are with the Lannisters? Kingdom of the Rock -- Cersei because she is a Lannister Kingdom of the Stormlands -- Cersei? Kingdom of the Reach -- Daenerys after invitation of Varys and Ellaria Principality of Dorne -- Daenerys after invitation of Varys presumably Crownlands -- Cersei since Cersei is currently occupying the Iron Throne   Am I understanding this right? Anything wrong? Will Windows 10 Technical Preview be upgradable to final release? Is there any information about if Windows 10 Technical Preview will then be upgradable to the final release ?  I'm asking that because I would like to use it on my primary PC (I'm aware of the risks but I accept them), in place of Windows 8.1 But I'd like to avoid to reinstall all after the release of the final version. Energy conservation in General Relativity Non-abelian group $G$ satisfying $(a \cdot b)^i=a^i \cdot b^i,$ for two consecutive integers. Given an example of a non-abelian group $G$ satisfying $(a \cdot b)^i=a^i \cdot b^i, \forall a, b \in G$ for two consecutive integers.   This is question 5 from Herstein Page 35. I have proved that conclusion holds for three positive integers.Thanks. Fastest way to remove non-numeric characters from a VARCHAR in SQL Server I'm writing an import utility that is using phone numbers as a unique key within the import.  I need to check that the phone number does not already exist in my DB. The problem is that   phone numbers in the DB could have things like dashes and parenthesis and possibly other things. I wrote a function to remove these things, the problem is that it is slow and with thousands of records in my DB and thousands of records to import at once, this process can be unacceptably slow. I've already made the phone number column an index.  I tried using the script from this post:   But that didn't speed it up any.  Is there a faster way to remove non-numeric characters? Something that can perform well when 10,000 to 100,000 records have to be compared.  Whatever is done needs to perform fast.  Update Given what people responded with, I think I'm going to have to clean the fields before I run the import utility.   To answer the question of what I'm writing the import utility in, it is a C# app. I'm comparing BIGINT to BIGINT now, with no need to alter DB data and I'm still taking a performance hit with a very small set of data (about 2000 records).   Could comparing BIGINT to BIGINT be slowing things down?  I've optimized the code side of my app as much as I can (removed regexes, removed unneccessary DB calls). Although I can't isolate SQL as the source of the problem anymore, I still feel like it is. Prove $e^{x+y}=e^{x}e^{y}$ by using Exponential Series
