Xpath not contains

Is there a way to select the xpath which doesn't contain ng-show
Please find the xpath below:
I'm familiar with not(contains()), but it has 2 parameters.
I would like it to not contain the ng-showitself, because I have a few more element containing ng-show and I don't want to select any of them.
<span ng-show="displayValue" class="ng-binding">0 km</span>
Thanks in Advance

Try this below xpath
//span[not(#ng-show)][not(#class='percent ng-binding')][#class='ng-binding']
Explanation of xpath:- Only those <span> tag will return, which attribute does not contains ng-show

Selenium XPath for a table

Given this html segment:
<strong style="background-color: transparent;">53°F</strong>
How to retrieve the 53°F text? I tried
sel.getText("//parent_selector/**strong[text()**]"))
but this is not working.

Try this one :)
selenium.getText("xpath=//table[#class='twc-forecast-table twc-second']//tr[4]//strong");

How to access element using Watir and XPath

I have some HTML that looks like this:
<h1 id="header">Header</h1>
I would like to click it using Watir and XPath.

After watir-webdriver 0.5.1 selecting random element with an xpath was updated to:
browser.element(:xpath => "//h1[#id='header']").click
thanks to:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/watir-general/c6Orvy7Qalw

browser.element_by_xpath("//h1[#id='header']").click
Sources:
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/XPath
http://zeljkofilipin.com/2007/07/03/find-element-by-xpath/

browser.h1(:xpath, "//h1[#id='header']").click

Also not XPath, but works:
browser.h1(:html, /header/).click

Not using XPath, but it works:
browser.h1(:id, "header").click

Another example using xpath here:
browser.element xpath: "//div/cite[contains(.,'some text')]/ancestor::div[#class='rc']/h3/a"
