I am an English learner. While I was watching a documentary video, this caption really confused me a lot.   Is it correct to say there is a lot? I thought it is supposed to be there are a lot.  Also, what is the difference between over here and at here?
Which of the following sentences is correct:        There is a lot of food and fruit in the supermarket.   There are a lot of food and fruit in the supermarket.
Intuition for uniform continuity of a function on $\mathbb{R}$ I understand the formal definition of uniform continuity of a function, and how it is different from standard continuity.  My question is: Is there an intuitive way to classify a function on $\mathbb{R}$ as being uniformly continuous, just like there is for regular continuity? I mean, that for a "nice" function $f:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$, it is usually easy to tell if it is continuous on an interval by looking at or thinking of the graph of the function on the interval, or on all of $\mathbb{R}$. Can I do the same for uniform continuity? Can I tell that a function is uniformly continuous just by what it looks like? Ideally, this intuition would fit with the Heine-Cantor theorem for compact sets on $\mathbb{R}$. Android adware lets me opt out: is it safe? Recently my mom's phone running Android 5.0 has been infected with a piece of adware:    At first we thought this was caused by applications, but as you can see here, only the Google/METROPCS Internet browser is running.  In the photo, there is a button that reads 'opt out'. So I clicked on it and it took me to this link at http://tracker.tpc.re/optout/mobile/:    BUT both of these options smelly fishy. For starters, the manual app is not a download link in the play store but an APK, making it seem like a virus. The second (manual) as for sensitive information, which could harm me even more.   Which one of these options do I choose? Are they legit or do I have to do get rid of it another way? How to remove the association between two Gmail accounts? I want to remove that other account. Both of them are Gmail accounts. How could I do? Linear algebra Upper Triangular matrix How do I go about proving this? I know one method is:  $\eqalign{    \cos (90^\circ + \theta ) &amp;\equiv \cos90^\circ \cos\theta  - \sin90^\circ \sin\theta   \cr    &amp;  \equiv (0)(\cos\theta ) - (1)(\sin \theta )  \cr    &amp;  \equiv  - \sin \theta  \cr} $  I'd appreciate others, particularly ones that will allow me to visualize this identity on the unit circle.  Thanks alot. Series with denominator that is square of product of consecutive numbers Evaluate $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{k^2(k+1)^2}$.   I've tried to use a telescoping approach, but it doesn't seem to work. It doesn't also seem to converge to a "pretty" value as well. I wonder if someone knows any general rules of thumb regarding the number of bootstrap samples one should use, based on characteristics of the data (number of observations, etc.) and/or the variables included? Truncated 200GB table but disk space not released I have only 2GB left, so I need to remove this history table. This table now is empty but the database disk space not released. And the database file is 320GB. What is a word for getting an award in a competition or being one of the top three? extract the 4th column from a csv file using unix command I have a csv file formatted as below.  "col1","col2","col3","col4" "1","text1","&lt;p&gt;big       html      text&lt;/p&gt; ","4th column" "2","text2","&lt;p&gt;big2       html2      text2&lt;/p&gt; ","4th column2"   I want to extract the 4th column using.  I think that awk is the best tool for this ( let me know if I am wrong). I tried this   awk -F, '{print $4}' myFile.csv    but it fails.  I think because the 3rd column is multiline one.  How can I use awk or any other unix command to extract the 4th column.  I am looking for an efficient solution since my real file is big (> 2GB) Every subsequence of $x_n$ has a further subsequence which converges to $x$. Then the sequence $x_n$ converges to $x$. Is the following true? Let $x_n$ be a sequence with the following property: Every subsequence of $x_n$ has a further subsequence which converges to $x$. Then the sequence $x_n$ converges to $x$.  I guess that it is true but I am not sure how to prove this. '+' and 's' in permission strings If the ls -l command gives me a permission string like  rwsr-s--x   What does the 's' mean? The only sources I found mention that it can be present sometimes but do not elaborate.  What does a '+' instead of a '-' mean? I have found mentions of 'extended permission' but nothing clear. After drinking an energy drink, there are little yellow and white bars above the health bar. What are those? What do they represent? On Cesàro convergence: If $ x_n \to x $ then $ z_n = \frac{x_1 + \dots +x_n}{n} \to x $ I have this problem I'm working on. Hints are much appreciated (I don't want complete proof):  In a normed vector space, if $ x_n \longrightarrow x $ then  $ z_n = \frac{x_1 + \dots +x_n}{n} \longrightarrow x $   I've been trying adding and subtracting inside the norm... but I don't seem to get anywhere.  Thanks! I'm new at Linux and I just download Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.  I found a spot that showed me how join my Windows Active Directory.  It has me add couple lines into the 'hosts' but I'm not able to edit the file because I do not have the permission.  I'm not the owner.  I use chmod with it rwx and still it will not let edit the file.  How do you change the permission?  Thanks How to get reflections from 3D to show up on real images Andrew Price released a nice tutorial on how to nicely put 3D objects on top of a real image:   I have seen images, such as this:  which have 3D elements over images and have actual reflections from the object showing up on the wet asphalt.  How can this effect be achieved using render passes (or any other way)?  Here is another example (from ): Why does the Replace() string method not modify my string variable? If I just render the default cube it will look like this:   It is rendered with color depth 16. I can see there are artefacts consisting of visible "line strokes" on some of the cube faces.  The bands seems to not go darker and darker, but alternates between light and dark, or is my eye fooled?  Why?  Edit  Here comes a gradient created by gimp without banding, using the same computer: Terminal method of formatting storage drive I want to know how to format a storage drive from the terminal. Helpful things to provide in the answer would be often used options for commands and base knowledge that one can use to extrapolate future uses. Specifically I would like to know how to format in the different file systems such as NTFS, FAT32, EXT4, etc. Information on how to partition the drive via terminal is also wanted.  I am trying to format a high capacity external hard drive (EHDD) into NTFS - from the terminal.   I know I can use gparted for this as well as other GUI programs, but I still want to now how to do it from the terminal. How should a family with young children apply for UK visas?
