Removing unicode \u2026 like characters in a string in python2.7
How to remove \xa0 from string in Python?
Is it possible to level grind in Normal Mode? So in Awakening, we can use Reeking Boxes... but what of Three Houses? I'm not far off from the beginning of the game- I have just recently finished the mock battle, actually, but I noticed this calendar mechanic in the game (and in extension, the activity points stuffs). Apparently, the days just... jump.  With this info, I assume there's only a limited number of days before reaching the so-called War Phase... so this brings me back to the question: are there maps or battles that I can replay again and again so that I can level grind the characters, or are there only a limited amount of maps/battles that I can participate in? Sci-Fi Movie/Show Where a Soul is Captured in a Glass Vessel HTTP GET request in JavaScript? I'm trying to display models that have shading drawn or baked directly on the textures, but I can't figure out how to disable Blender's default scene lighting. If there are no lights in the scene, everything is black, but I want to see the textured objects fully bright. How do I disable the lighting?  NOTE: Just before posting this, I found the "Shadeless" material property, which does more or less what I want. However, is there a way to globally toggle the default lighting? Prove that $\left(\sum^n_{k=1}x_k\right)\left(\sum^n_{k=1}y_k\right)\geq n^2$ 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 ). Is the trace of inverse matrix convex? Can you use twinned spell on the same target? So me and my DM have been arguing on how Twinned spell works. Twinned spell:  When you cast a spell that targets only one creature and  doesn't have a range of self, you can spend a number of  sorcery points equal to the spell's level to target a second  creature in range with the same spell (1 sorcery point if  the spell is a cantrip).  I argued that &quot;a second creature&quot; can be a the same target as it is not worded as &quot;another creature&quot; For this example counter spell with twinned spell.  A wizard casts fireball on me I use CounterSpell#1 with Twinned Spell Wizard casts CounterSpell on my CounterSpell#1 I use him as the same target for my twinned Spell CounterSpell#2  Result countered Is this possible? Can you reduce yourself, crawl into the Tarrasque's airway, and try to collapse its lung by enlarging inside of it? A player tried to use the spell  on his PC while in the mouth of the Tarrasque to shrink himself, then go deeper into its airway and to try to collapse its lung by enlarging himself inside of it. I imagine there's no real rule for this but I felt silly just denying it, because it seemed like a cool idea that you could only probably do with a creature as large as the Tarrasque.  Can you crawl into a gargantuan creature’s mouth or into its airway via reduce/enlarge and attack its brain or internal organs? Pytest is in PATH but not found I am trying to run the following model:         I(week^2):mutation_status +         (week + I(week^2) | subject_id) ,          data = sim_dat)  This is the output I get from this model. The correlation between week and I(week)^2 is rather high (-0.95) and I was curious to know how I can change my data simulation code to lower that value. I am also having issues with convergence and would love to get thoughts on how to avoid issues regarding convergence. Thank you!

A small picture is better than a long explanation, here is what I would like to do:    As you can see in this mwe, I use the fmtcount package with padzeroes:      \documentclass{article}     \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}         \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}               \usepackage{fmtcount}     \begin{document}             Binary value : {\padzeroes[16]\binarynum{129}}$_{(2)}$ %             should display 0000 0000 1000 0001$_{(2)}$              Hexadecimal value: {\padzeroes[8]\Hexadecimalnum{65000}}$_{(16)}$ %             should display  00 00 FD E8$_{(2)}$     \end{document}   What I want to do is displaying numbers with various radix (2, 3, 7, 8, 10, 16) given a decimal number and format these numbers correctly with spaces and leading 0 (without having to perform the conversion by myself).  I already found some posts with similar questions, but none of them achieve this (they display number with thousand separators, like the numprint package, every 3 digits; or they do not make it automatic). Here are these posts :         EDIT two other linked questions:       I also prefer to use pdflatex. Forward vs Forwards Sometimes I wonder if he is actually/really  as lavish as he   pretends to be.   I know that this sentence can work without either actually or really, but if we were to use one of them to make an impact on the listener, which one should it be? How to Fix:Though favicons are added, it doesn't show in Google Search Biblatex: submitting to a journal Suppose that I moved from BibTeX to biblatex. With BibTeX I just copied the content of .bbl file into final version of my paper before submitting it to a journal. What should I do at same stage having .bbl file produced by biblatex? It is of quite different format. I need to use binary variables (values 0 &amp; 1) in k-means. But k-means only works with continuous variables. I know some people still use these binary variables in k-means ignoring the fact that k-means is only designed for continuous variables. This is unacceptable to me.  Questions:     So what is the statistically / mathematically correct way of using binary variables in k-means / hierarchical clustering? How to implement the solution in SAS / R? Are there tips and tricks for people with fear of flying that can makes them have a more pleasant experience when flying? I know drugs can do magic, and . I'm ideally after official advice and recommendations, but other tips and tricks would be nice as well. Can you ready an action for "immediately before my next turn"? I'm attempting to get a better understanding of cryptography and have run into some questions about bcrypt.   Bcrypt relies on the blowfish cipher, which is a reversible method of encryption. But bcrypt is not reversible. How is that possible? Or am I mistaken? What does bcrypt do on top of blowfish to make it irreversible? Why does bcrypt use blowfish instead of twofish or threefish?
