Ah, "circa" is a lovely little word that art historians often use. It simply means "around" or "approximately" when talking about dates. So if you see a painting from the 1800s described as being created "circa 1850," it just means it was made around that time, giving us a general idea of its age.
While there is date on many products this is seldom a expiry date (the implication is that after the days the food or medication has gone bad) There is however a date to signify a "use before date" or "sell before date" to ensure freshness and customer satisfaction.
Some of the stores of the Old Testament date to about 5,000 years before the occurrences of the New Testament. Others are more recent, but still hundreds of years before the events of the New Testament. The Bible Christians use today was assembled about 300 AD. This would make the answer to the question about 5,300 years between the oldest parts of the old Testament and assembly of the New Testament with the Old Testament to make the Christian bible.
Scientific Julian date depends not only on date, but also on time For example, 26 of January 2012, 20:33:38 (8PM) makes JD=2455953.356689815 But militaries use Julian Date in another way and 26 of January 2012 for militaries makes 201226. Actually militaries do not use "Julian Date", they use "Ordinal Date" (but they call it Julian)
Yes, stock cubes can go out of date. They typically have a shelf life printed on the packaging, usually ranging from one to two years from the manufacture date. While they may still be safe to use after this date if stored properly, their flavor and potency can diminish over time. It's best to check for any signs of spoilage, such as an off smell or discoloration, before using them.
Yes, a space is typically used after "circa" when indicating an approximate date. For example, "circa 1900."
Circa means "around" or "about". If the exact date of an event is uncertain, "circa" may be used to indicate that the date is somewhere within about 10 years of the "circa" year given. ex. He was born circa 1820. (This means that the birth date was somewhere between 1810 and 1830.) If the exact date is known, use of the word "circa" is negated. Many people (especially online) will give an exact date such as June 1, 1898, preceded by "circa" because they are not certain on exactly which day the event occurred. The public would be better served and the event better defined by simply saying "the event occurred near this date. As was stated above, "circa" denotes a broad span of up to 20 years which could place the event in a totally different generation.
When an exact date of an artifact is not known. "An earthenware cream jug was made in Stoke on Trent circa 1760" is an example

Yes, when citing a book, it is generally recommended to use the most recent publication date to ensure accuracy and relevance.
Often dates will be preceded with a "c." or a "ca." These are abbreviations of the Latin word "circa" which means around, or approximately. We use this before a date to indicate that we do not know exactly when something happened, so c. 400 B.C.E. means approximately 400 years Before the Common Era.
For bibliographic citation, you would want to use the most recent date.

Yes, you can use your credit card before the closing date, but be sure to pay off the balance by the due date to avoid interest charges.
It all depends whether it is a sell by date, use by date, or a best before date. If it is a sell by, then that would be an earlier date than an 'eat by' date so it would probably be OK. If it is a best before, then it probably won't taste as good but will still be safe; if it is after a use by date then it may not be safe so you shouldn't eat it.
No. "Circa" means "approximately" so whenever you use it, you are conveying that you don't know the exact year. Hope that helps.
