I love cheese and I am always buying and trying new types. Because of this, my cheese stash starts to grow faster than I can eat all of it. Sometimes mold starts to grow around the outside before I get to it, particularly the cheddar.    I practice good storage techniques to no avail, still the mold eventually shows up.  So when this happens, I just trim the mold off and move on, but some of my friends think this is "so gross" and I should just throw it away.    What do you think?
Whenever my cheese gets too old and has a bit of blue/white mold on the side, I'm not sure whether I should throw it completely out or not. Is it safe to eat if I cut off the edge? Should I cut a bit off of all the sides just to be safe?  I'm particularly interested in the answer for cheddar cheese, but answers about other cheese are welcome.
is that function must be constant under the following conditions I'm talking about complex function   $f$ is analytic function on a region $D$ that include the point $z=0$. for every $n\in N$ such $\frac{1}{n}$ is in $D$ , the function follows this condition $|f(\frac{1}{n})| \leq \dfrac{1}{2^n}$   is that function must be constant ? Suppose I installed ubuntu with the user usr1 then I added usr2. I then create a group grp1 where this 2 users are added. A folder is owned by usr1 and has group grp1.

Multiple logistic regression power analysis Quotient rings of Gaussian integers For some results returned in Google Search, on the right side it displays the company details, logo, contact numbers, etc...   For example, see the following screenshot:    I'd like to know what contributes to this so that I can try to achieve it for my site too. Proof of $\int_{[0,\infty)}pt^{p-1}\mu(\{x:|f(x)|\geq t\})d\mu(t)=\int_{[0,\infty)}\mu(\{x:|f(x)|^p\geq s\})d\mu(s)$ Let $({\Bbb R},{\mathcal A},\mu)$ be the measure space where ${\mu}$ is the Lebesgue measure.  Assume that $\int_{\Bbb R}|f|^pd\mu&lt;\infty$ ($p\geq1$). There is an exercise for proving that       $$\int_{[0,\infty)}pt^{p-1}\mu(\{x:|f(x)|\geq t\})d\mu(t)=\int_{[0,\infty)}\mu(\{x:|f(x)|^p\geq s\})d\mu(s).$$   If one formally let $s=t^p$, then $ds=pt^{p-1}dt$ and one would immediately get the equality above. However, how can I justify it rigorously in the sense of Lebesgue integration?    [Edited] What puzzles me is that I have the "change of variable" theorem for Riemann integration, but all the integrations here are in the Lebesgue sense. Unless one has shown that the integrands are also Riemann integrable, how can I directly use "change of variable"? Split a string by spaces -- preserving quoted substrings -- in Python I have a string which is like this:  this is "a test"   I'm trying to write something in Python to split it up by space while ignoring spaces within quotes. The result I'm looking for is:  ['this','is','a test']   PS. I know you are going to ask "what happens if there are quotes within the quotes, well, in my application, that will never happen. Why should the Standard Model be renormalizable? Effective theories like Little Higgs models or Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model are non-renormalizable and there is no problem with it, since an effective theory does not need to be renormalizable. These theories are valid until a scale $\Lambda$ (ultraviolet cutoff), after this scale an effective theory need a UV completion, a more "general" theory.  The Standard Model, as an effective theory of particle physics, needs a more general theory that addresses the phenomena beyond the Standard Model (an UV completion?). So, why should the Standard Model be renormalizable? Divisibility by 7 rule, and Congruence Arithmetic Laws I have seen other criteria for divisibility by 7. Criterion described below present in the book Handbook of Mathematics for IN Bronshtein (p. 323) is interesting, but could not prove it. Let $n = (a_ka_{k-1}\ldots a_2a_1a_0)_{10} = \displaystyle{\sum_{j=0}^{k}}a_{k-j}10^{k-j}$. The expression $$ Q_{3}^{\prime}(n) = (a_2a_1a_0)_{10} - (a_5a_4a_3)_{10} + (a_8a_7a_6)_{10} -\ldots  $$ are called alternating sum of the digits of third order of $n$. For example,  $$ Q_{3}^{\prime}(123456789) = 789-456+123=456 $$ Proposition: $7 | n \ \Leftrightarrow \ 7 | Q_{3}^{\prime}(n)$.  proof. ??  Thanks for any help. Non-existence of a bijective analytic function between annulus and punctured disk I understand what the Chinese remainder theorem is. However I am not sure how to apply it to my question. Can someone explain please? Run true multiple process instances of gnome-terminal Why can we treat quantum scattering problems as time-independent? From what I remember in my undergraduate quantum mechanics class, we treated scattering of non-relativistic particles from a static potential like this:   Solve the time-independent Schrodinger equation to find the energy eigenstates.  There will be a continuous spectrum of energy eigenvalues. In the region to the left of the potential, identify a piece of  the wavefunction that looks like $Ae^{i(kx - \omega t)}$ as the incoming wave. Ensure that to the right of the potential, there is not piece of the wavefunction that looks like $Be^{-i(kx + \omega t)}$, because we only want to have a wave coming in from the left. Identify a piece of the wavefunction to the left of the potential that looks like $R e^{-i(kx + \omega t)}$ as a reflected wave. Identify a piece of the wavefunction to the right of the potential that looks like $T e^{i(kx - \omega t)}$ as a transmitted wave. Show that $|R|^2 + |T|^2 = |A|^2$.  Interpret $\frac{|R|^2}{|A|^2}$ as the probability for reflection and $\frac{|T|^2}{|A|^2}$ as the probability for transmission.   This entire process doesn't seem to have anything to do with a real scattering event - where a real particle is scattered by a scattering potential - we do all our analysis on a stationary waves.  Why should such a naive procedure produce reasonable results for something like Rutherford's foil experiment, in which alpha particles are in motion as they collide with nuclei, and in which the wavefunction of the alpha particle is typically localized in a (moving) volume much smaller than the scattering region? Most descriptions of SIGTERM and SIGKILL point out that SIGKILL,     In contrast to SIGTERM and SIGINT, [...] cannot be caught or ignored [...] ()   Is this the only difference between SIGTERM and SIGKILL? In particular, if a process does not install a SIGTERM handler, is there any difference at all between sending SIGTERM or SIGKILL to the process? How to combine measurement error with statistic error We have to measure a period of an oscillation. We are to take the time it takes for 50 oscillations multiple times.  I know that I will have a $\Delta t = 0.1 \, \mathrm s$ because of my reaction time. If I now measure, say 40, 41 and 39 seconds in three runs, I will also have standard deviation of 1.  What is the total error then? Do I add them up, like so?  $$\sqrt{1^2 + 0.1^2}$$  Or is it just the 1 and I discard the (systematic?) error of my reaction time?  I wonder if I measure a huge number of times, the standard deviation should become tiny compared to my reaction time. Is the lower bound 0 or is it my reaction time with 0.1? Mandatory child record when creating parent record Difference between float and decimal data type Footnotes in tables? I would like to have footnotes in tables, but the \footnote command does not work inside a table environment.  Googling one finds that this is , at least in the UK.  That link contains a list of solutions to the problem, but since the author of the FAQ does not believe that this is good style, no comparison is made between the different methods.  I am sure that there are good typographical reasons why in most situations it is undesirable to have footnotes in tables (although I have never come across them), however I have recently felt the need to do just this in a paper I am currently writing.  Therefore I'd like to ask two questions:   What are the arguments against footnotes in tables? If one really must go against the advice in 1., which method (whether considered in the  or not) would you recommend?   Thanks in advance.  Added  In response to ShreevatsaR's comment: I do not much care for where the text of the footnote appears.  I do however insist on the footnote marks being attached to the relevant entries in the table, so that I can avoid having to reference "the second entry in the eighth line of the table", etc...
