Does there exist an holomorphic function such that $|f(z)|\geq \frac{1}{\sqrt{|z|}}$? I have some trouble solving this problem: Does there exist a holomorphic function $f$ on $\mathbb C\setminus \{0\}$ such that $$|f(z)|\geq \frac{1}{\sqrt{|z|}}$$ for all $z\in\mathbb C \setminus \{0\}$? I don't know where to start. My intuition is that you would get a problem with the singularity near $0$, but I am not sure how to prove it. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Cutting strands of wire to fit plug I am a hvac tech, but my question is I have 2awg stranded and my plug is 6awg, will it matter much if I cut some strands to fit my plug? the plug is 60amp 250vac for a piece of kitchen equipment if the matters. I have a module with a page callback handler for the path "products". So if the user navigates to products/apples then the module presents a page about our apples, and if they go to products/oranges then etc. These pages include detail about the various products.  I would like XML Sitemap to be populated from my module. After all, it's my module that knows what products exist, their descriptions etc.  Any hook or anything I can use for that? Can I mask an input text in a bat file? Calculate the area on a sphere of the intersection of two spherical caps Given a sphere of radius $r$ with two spherical caps on it defined by the radii ($a_1$ and $a_2$) of the bases of the spherical caps, given a separation of the two spherical caps by angle $\theta$, how do you calculate the surface area of that intersection?   To clarify, the area is that of the curved surface on the sphere defined by the intersection. At the extreme where both $a_1,a_2 = r$, we would be describing a spherical lune.   Alternatively define the spherical caps by the angles  $\Phi_1 = \arcsin(a_1/r)$ and $\Phi_2 = \arcsin(a_2/r)$. I tried to rev a file and then pipe it to cat &gt; same_file but it was turning into a blank file.    While I tried rev file.txt | cat &gt; file2.txt &amp;&amp; mv file.txt file2.txt; it worked.    Even rev file.txt | cat &gt;&gt; file.txt; worked.  But when I tried rev file.txt | cat &gt; file.txt it failed. From :      ‘We all believe, up at the Lodge, Rachael, that he will be freed from suspicion, sooner or later.’    ‘The better I know it to be so believed there, my dear,’ said Rachael, ‘and the kinder I feel it that you come away from there, purposely to comfort me, and keep me company, and be seen wi’ me when I am not yet free from all suspicion myself, the more grieved I am that I should ever have spoken those mistrusting words to the young lady. And yet I— ’   We usually use should have to say that something was not done, despite being desirable. But in this example, the mistrusting words were indeed spoken (earlier in the book). How would one explain the use of the should have construction then?   Would the following be fully equivalent to the above quote:     ‘We all believe, up at the Lodge, Rachael, that he will be freed from suspicion, sooner or later.’    ‘The better I know it to be so believed there, my dear,’ said Rachael, ‘and the kinder I feel it that you come away from there, purposely to comfort me, and keep me company, and be seen wi’ me when I am not yet free from all suspicion myself, the more grieved I am that I have spoken those mistrusting words to the young lady. And yet I— ’ Infiniteness of non-twin primes. Well, we all know the twin prime conjecture. There are infinitely many primes $p$, such that $p+2$ is also prime. Well, I actually got asked in a discrete mathematics course, to prove that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $p + 2$ is NOT prime. Limit with multiple variables I need to evaluate the limit $$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}(n-\sqrt{n+\alpha}\sqrt{n+\beta})$$  My work: $$(n-\sqrt{n+\alpha}\sqrt{n+\beta})=n-\sqrt{n^2+\alpha n+\beta n+\alpha\beta}$$ I understand that both $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are just constants. But, now how should I factor this? I understand the calculus behind limits, but the algebra troubles me.

I have a Student object and have a pick list field  "Student Status" in this object. Status can be Full-Time OR Part Time. Now my requirement is i want this student status list, Part-Time or Full-Time in apex controller. how can i do this?  If i get a student record it will only give me that particular student status Full-Time or Part-Time. But i need all options that are available in student status field.

Finding $\int_0^{\infty}xe^{-\lambda x} \, dx$ How to integrate:  $$\int_0^\infty x \, \lambda e^{-\lambda x} \, dx$$    I tried using integration by parts:  Let $u = x$ and $dv = \lambda e^{-\lambda x} \, dx$  Then $du = dx$  And $v = - \lambda e ^{-\lambda x}$  Correct so far?   Then   $$\begin{aligned} uv - \int v \, du &amp;= -\lambda x e^{-\lambda x} - \int (- \lambda e^{- \lambda x}) dx \\ &amp;= -\lambda x e^{-\lambda x} - \lambda e^{-\lambda x} \end{aligned}$$    The correct answer from lecture notes      UPDATE 2  Let $u=\lambda x$ and $dv = e^{-\lambda x} dx$  Then $du = \lambda \, dx$  $$dv = e^{-\lambda x} \, dx$$  Let $y = -\lambda x$  Then $dy = -\lambda \, dx$  So $dx = -\frac{1}{\lambda} dy$  $$\begin{aligned} v &amp;= \int e^u \cdot - \frac{1}{\lambda} du \\ &amp;= - \frac{1}{\lambda} e^{-\lambda x} \end{aligned}$$  But here I seem to have an extra $- \frac{1}{\lambda}$ in $v$?  If I continue using integration by parts, I get:   $$-x e^{-\lambda x} + \color{red}{\frac{1}{\lambda}} \int e^{-\lambda x} \, dx$$ What is wrong with "Where should this car be parked?"? I'm trying to find the name of a book I had as a kid back in the 80's/90's that was a collection of science fiction short stories and in particular one story in it.  The book: I remember the cover being mostly orange with the face of an alien taking up most of the cover. Scaly looking 'grey' style alien with hooded green eyes. They may have also been a 60's/70's style space ship in the background with a man and woman.  The story: Was set after all human life had ended in a great war and the story followed one of the many autonomous bombers still flying the skies carrying out their missions repeatedly bombing already leveled cities. At least that's how I remember it.  Any help/clues you can give would be much appreciated as I'd love to share these stories with my kid.  Some other stories it had, if any of these can be identified it might help me find the book:   Two guys talking in a room and one give the other a wooden carving of an apple and starts telling him the history of the object and how it's used to hypnotise people who hold it as they can't resist stroking it and it puts them in a catatonic state. A bunch of robots/machines wandering the post-apocalyptic country side, free of their duties to mankind. Their adventure comes to an end when they run into a hermit living in the country and their programming kicks in and they immediately become his servants. A story about first contact with an alien race, the aliens come to earth and land at the coordinates of an air-force base but upon arrival there is confusion as the humans cannot see the aliens and the aliens cannot see the humans. The aliens complain that they've been tricked and that their ship is sinking. The humans think this is strange until they realise the aliens are incredibly small and have landed in a puddle on the airfield. Noise in JPEG file after processing RAW file in photoshop Recently i started shooting in RAW after understanding its advantages over JPEG format.   While processing the RAW file there is an option to reduce noise in a captured picture. It works great when i am working on RAW file. But as soon as I save file in JPEG format, noise comes back.  I understand that while converting from RAW to JPEG compression techniques will be applied. But how can i handle this situation (while doing post processing)? What is the most elegant way to check if the directory a file is going to be written to exists, and if not, create the directory using Python? Here is what I tried:  import os  file_path = "/my/directory/filename.txt" directory = os.path.dirname(file_path)  try:     os.stat(directory) except:     os.mkdir(directory)         f = file(filename)   Somehow, I missed os.path.exists (thanks kanja, Blair, and Douglas). This is what I have now:  def ensure_dir(file_path):     directory = os.path.dirname(file_path)     if not os.path.exists(directory):         os.makedirs(directory)   Is there a flag for "open", that makes this happen automatically? Mclaurins with $e^{\sin(x)}$ To evaluate $e^{\sin(x)}$ I use the standard series $e^t$ and $\sin(t)$, combining them gives me:  $e^t = 1+t+\dfrac{t^2}{2!}+\dfrac{t^3}{3!}+\dfrac{t^4}{4!}+O(t^5)$  $\sin(t) = t-\dfrac{t^3}{3!}+O(t^5)$  $\therefore e^{\sin(x)} = 1+\sin(x)+\dfrac{\sin^2(x)}{2!}+\cdots+O(x^5)$  $\iff e^{\sin(x)}=1+\left(x-\dfrac{x^3}{6}\right)+\dfrac{\left(x-\frac{x^3}{6}\right)^2}{2}+\dfrac{x^3}{6}+O(x^5) = 1+x +\dfrac{x^2}{2}-\dfrac{x^4}{6} + O(x^5)$  In the last step, I only evaluate up to $\sin^3x$ term, everything above has a grade equal to or greater than $x^5$  However, I'm wrong. According to Wolfram, the series expansion for $e^{\sin x} = 1+x+\dfrac{x^2}{2}-\dfrac{x^4}{8}+O(x^5)$.  What did I do wrong? I can't seem to find what or where.
