exponentiation of cardinal number Why didn't the basilisk bite in Chamber of Secrets destroy the Horcrux? As the title asks, why didn't the basilisk bite received in the Chamber of Secrets destroy the Horcrux inside the bitten person?   Yes, I know Fawkes quite quickly healed the bite wound with his phoenix tears, but when Harry used the basilisk fang to destroy Tom Riddle's diary the destruction of that Horcrux was immediate. When Ron hit the locket with the Sword of Gryffindor, it was destroyed immediately. Although the destruction of the ring occurred off-page, Dumbledore used the Sword of Gryffindor to destroy it, so presumably, like the locket, it was gone right away. Nagini died straightaway when Neville decapitated her. The destruction of the Hufflepuff cup happens off-page. The diadem seems to have been destroyed by Fiendfyre immediately as well, as when Harry examined it outside the Room of Requirement it was already leaking a blood-like substance, and then it cracked in half. When Voldemort hit Harry with Avada Kedavra in the forest, Harry woke up in limbo with the last fragment of Voldemort's soul - that awful flayed baby-like being - separated from him immediately.   Is there a logical/canon-based explanation for why the fragment of Voldemort's soul residing in Harry wasn't destroyed upon Harry being bitten by the basilisk?  NOTE: I've read the HP Wiki's entry on Horcruxes; however, I find the HP Wiki to be inconsistent in its accuracy, so I'm hesitant to accept the Wiki's explanation on the matter. I'd prefer an explanation constructed from information in the books or a statement by JKR, or the like. Minimal Sufficient Statistic for location family In Casella &amp; Berger Statistical Inference,in exercise 6.8, we're asked to prove that, for any distribution belonging to the location family, the order statistics are minimal sufficient.

Yesterday I wrote "gray" in the meaning of the color, but my friend corrected me and told me to write "grey". Today I checked in the  and I found that they are both correct for the same meaning.

Story about protagonist finding a world that has died with a museum How should a user's death be handled? It is a bit of a morbid concept, but having recently had a friend die unexpectedly and having to deal with the online repercussions of this event has gotten me to thinking about what should happen to my accounts when I kick the bucket.  I haven't had any great insights yet, but here are some things I think are worth thinking about:   an entry in the FAQ telling the person's loved ones what to do with respect to the account would be extremely helpful, specifically who to contact, how to contact them, and what proof is necessary some form of optional date of death on the user account screen some way to mark the user as no longer being able to generate content and blocking any attempt to login as the user.   The danger I see in implementing such features is the possibility of someone faking another person's death and thereby locking a user out of his or her account or worrying his or her friends.

What would be the correct word to use when referring to three or more items, in the same manner as the word both?  For example, using two words, with the word both:     "There are several recommendations I   have to further improve the sites —   both to improve their profit, and   decrease their cost."   Using three words, with a blank space in place of the correct word:     "There are several recommendations I   have to further improve the sites —   _ to improve their profit, decrease their cost and improve their   usability."   So, what would be the correct word to use in place of the __? What is the white smoke-like fog called? It's not really fog, mist or haze. I used to think that it's mist, but from what I've read here, it turns out that it isn't.  It's the white smoke-like fog that is close to the ground. I've seen it recently above a couple of small ponds (and ground) in a damp forest. It was almost as white as smoke, you can barely see through it, but it is close to the ground, from 20cm to a meter or so.  Since it isn't fog (which is a cloud that you can see, say from a mountaintop, and if it's not mist (which is more like 'rain'), then what is it? QGIS Atlas generation for multiple map extents?
