Thank those who answered , I learned a lot especially the small difference when in past tense.  However, is there any difference if I change them to future tense? (Because neither of below imply the final result)   Once he gets the passport, he will go to the Chinese consulate in Toronto and apply for a visa. Once he gets the passport, he will go to the Chinese consulate in Toronto to apply for a visa.
Here are two sentences:        Once he got the passport, he went to the Chinese consulate in Toronto and applied for a visa.   Once he got the passport, he went to the Chinese consulate in Toronto to apply for a visa.      Are the two sentences grammatical, and do they sound natural?  If they are both fine, what's the difference?

Movie/TV series with a scene of spiky, black goo growing out of a lab container? There was a scene from a sci-fi horror video, not animated, don't know if it's a movie or TV series, where there was this black goo in a glass container and some scientists were looking at it under a microscope.   The pitch black goo grew and grew so fast, eventually breaking out of the inner box and the scientists that were inside the "inner lab" were begging to get out but the scientists outside that inner lab refused to open the door. The black goo was spiky (had spikes).  It's not any of the "Alien" movies, "The Blob", "Life", or "The Thing". It's not vintage. It was made after 1990, I'm pretty sure. Can one introduce magnetic monopoles without Dirac strings? To introduce magnetic monopoles in Maxwell equations, Dirac uses special strings, that are singularities in space, allowing potentials to be gauge potentials. A consequence of this is the quantization of charge.  Okay, it looks great. But is this the only way to introduce magnetic monopoles? Is being a Cauchy sequence equivalent to $ \lim_{n\to+\infty}d(x_{n+k},x_n)=0$ for every $k$? Is this statement true?      In a metric spase $(E,d)$, a sequence $(x_n)$ is Cauchy if and only if $  \forall k\in \mathbb{N}, \lim_{n\rightarrow+\infty}d(x_{n+k},x_n)=0$   I proved that $\Rightarrow$ is true,indeed if $(x_n)$ is Cauchy then for all $\varepsilon&gt;0,\exists n_0\in\mathbb{N}, \forall p,q\geq n, d(x_p,x_q)&lt;\varepsilon$ it still right for all $ n\geq n_0$ and $m=n+k&gt;n\geq n_0$   But I don't know if $\Leftarrow$ is true ? Blender 2.8 : python code to switch shading mode (between wireframe and solid mode) If i switch between solid and wireframe mode, i can see in the info window that these commands are invoked :  bpy.data.screens["Layout"].shading.type = 'WIREFRAME' bpy.data.screens["Layout"].shading.type = 'SOLID'   Now i want to execute this command using python console. So i cut and paste the codes into python console but i got this error :   &gt;&gt;&gt; bpy.data.screens["Layout"].shading.type = 'WIREFRAME' Traceback (most recent call last):   File "&lt;blender_console&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; AttributeError: 'Screen' object has no attribute 'shading'  &gt;&gt;&gt; bpy.data.screens["Layout"].shading.type = 'SOLID' Traceback (most recent call last):   File "&lt;blender_console&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; AttributeError: 'Screen' object has no attribute 'shading'   Does anyone know why ? and what the correct script should i use in python console ?

For an odd prime $p$, prove that any primitive root $r$ of $p^n$ is also a primitive root of  $p$   So I have assumed $r$ have order $k$ modulo $p$ , So $k|p-1$.Then if I am able to show that $p-1|k$ then I am done .But I haven't been able to show that.Can anybody help me this method?Any other type of prove is also welcomed. Failed to Login : Invalid session (Try restarting your game) Minecraft Error When I try to connect to servers or join up on lan worlds in Minecraft it says "Failed to Login : Invalid session (Try restarting your game)". Multiplayer used to work fine but now keeps coming up with this error. Can anybody help? I am flying from Orange County, California to San Francisco, California and then on to Seoul, South Korea. If I check a bag will I have to pick it up in San Francisco and re-check it and go through security or customs for the international flight?  Everything I am reading leads me to believe that it's only necessary to re-check baggage and go through security and/or customs when you are first arriving into a country. However, since my first leg is staying within the United States I assume the airline will transfer my bag to the next flight and I can just go straight to the gate for my international flight?  Both legs of the flight are through the same airline (United Airlines) and there are only the two legs: OC -> SF, then SF -> Seoul. Why couldn't Doctor Strange use his sling ring in space? A while back, I read a story in a collection, but I don't remember very much. I know that it was about some missionaries on Mars. Eventually they found a bunch of spheres that apparently have escaped sin by leaving the material world. I don't remember anything else about it. Someone told me that it was in "The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury, but I checked my copy and couldn't find. I'm pretty sure that it was by Ray Bradbury though. Help would be greatly appreciated. If I take r as the radial vector of the moving object and v as the velocity vector of the moving object in central force field.   Then r should be perpendicular to r×v . So that depicts that r.(r×v) = 0 . So how does this say that the particle is lying on a constant plane ? How does "Reputation" work?

Since all primitive n-th roots of unity are n-th roots of unity by definition they all have that form, the question is, how to show $k$ and $n$ are coprime. Time travel film: character with male and female reproductive organs is taken back in time by a barman who turns out to be themselves I have had a friend give me a rough description of a film and I'm curious to find out what it actually is. I don't know very much. I understand this will be difficult, especially since every time my friend explains the tale it's different so this description is likely to contain some inaccuracies.  The film's plot begins with a recounting given by the main character, who had both male and female reproductive organs but had one set removed (not sure which, think male ones were removed). The main character is narrating this tale to the barman in a bar. The barman then takes the main character back in time, where they make love to themselves and produce a child.  The child, once born, is abandoned by the mother in the past - but the barman takes the child to the orphanage and leaves them there, ensuring their survival. Eventually it is revealed that the child was the main character themselves, and so was the barman.  In other words every major character introduced up to that point was the same person who had severely messed with their own timeline.
