QUESTION: Which entry level sales job is the best to learn how to sell? - ANSWER: My first job in sales is still the one that I learnt the most about the craft of selling and is also the one where strong salesmanship made the biggest difference to my success - I was a commission only Windows salesman for a national firm., The two most important things it taught me were that perseverance and passion were key.

QUESTION: What did or does Paul McCartney think of Oasis? - ANSWER: Paul McCartney has been around long enough to know better., Sir Paul isn't about to slag off any upcoming bands, but he had been known to make a few minor jabs about their sound and style, seeing as Oasis were taking serious cues from the legendary Beatles., What he did clearly say though, upon hearing Oasis singer/songwriter, Noel Gallagher claim they'd ‘be bigger than the Beatles’, was that it was the kiss of death to suggest such a thing., “Oasis were young, fresh and writing good tunes,” McCartney told Q. “I thought the biggest mistake they made was when they said ‘We’re going to be bigger than The Beatles’. I thought ‘So many people have said that, and it’s the kiss of death.’ Be bigger than The Beatles, but don’t say it. The minute you say it, everything you do from then on is going to be looked at in the light of that statement.”, don't . say it… What a seasoned response. Beautiful.. Be . bigger than us (and good luck with that), but , Paul McCartney: 'Oasis’ biggest mistake was saying they were bigger than The Beatles’, Source: NME

QUESTION: Did Native Americans ever have female leaders? - ANSWER: My tribe never had what Europeans would consider an official “leader” until we were starved into surrendering the US government rule. In the microcosm families tended to be headed by grandmothers and great grandmothers. Until we were forced into a sedentary lifestyle individuals might, or might not, listen to (and follow the suggestions of) certain individuals who had a proven track record of good decision making and complete generosity (giving away everything they acquired to others). Some of these individuals proved themselves in battle some in other situations. Some of these individuals were women. According to oral histories the “leader” who came up with and successfully implemented the plan to acquire horses from the Spanish was a woman. However white historians and writers like to project their sexist fantasies onto my tribe, and without citing a single source within my tribe will describe us as extremely sexist, because they can’t imagine that a warrior culture was also matrilineal and matriarchal. My great great grandmother Weckeah Old Bear rode beside her husband into battle against the Texas Rangers and was in fact his chief military strategist.

QUESTION: Why do people leave alcoholics anonymous? - ANSWER: I have a lot of love for AA; I give it full credit for GETTING me alcohol-free. But STAYING that way consistently on a strict abstinence based program started to feel difficult. Marijuana has played a big part in the restlessness I felt in the early days, and I still love how it helps my otherwise non-existent appetite. I have my MMJ card to help pain (from 14 years of massage therapy) and severe nausea that keeps me from eating enough and winding up unintentionally malnourished. Anyway, few people will sponsor or work with you when you tell them you use THC, and you have to tell them, cause really, honesty is what makes the program work. Or they work with you saying “it will no longer serve you and you’ll want it gone from your life.” But months later they’re surprised, cause I’m still using it and yes, it’s still serving me. I just don’t know…I’m lucky that my fiancé, also in recovery, feels the same way I do. We just don’t fit into any program, so we show up once a week and just listen, to a meeting near my house. Sometimes it’s relevant but when it’s not, it’s a few weeks before we take a deep breath and go back. Theres a lot of mental illness and ego in those rooms, it’s too much sometimes!, There’s my take!! Sorry for going on longer than I meant to! Hopefully you got something from that.

QUESTION: Is 41 young to have gout? - ANSWER: Gout used to be called the “disease of kings.” Charlemagne had it, formerly athletic Henry VIII lost his mobility and even Leonardo da Vinci and Benjamin Franklin suffered from this agonizing form of inflammatory arthritis., Gout happens when excess uric acid in the blood forms needle-like crystals in the joints, usually the toe joints. This is as painful as it sounds. Gout can become chronic if the uric acid keeps forming crystals and causing permanent joint damage., There a variety of factors scientists and doctors believe have led to the rise in gout cases. In the U.S. and U.K., we’re eating more red meat. Fructose is added to more processed foods.

QUESTION: Do I have to major in marine biology to become a marine biologist? - ANSWER: No. I am a marine biologist with a Ph.D. in oceanography. My undergrad major was in general Biology. I have colleagues that have majored in Chemistry, Earth Science, Physics, Geology, Engineering, Economics, Environmental Science, and even Canadian Studies., In many cases, you’ll have to take a few extra courses to get into grad school if you have a “non-traditional” major. For example, my graduate program required physics, organic chemistry, and calculus. So if you didn’t take those courses, you’ll have to take them before matriculating.

QUESTION: What is the average blogger's annual income? - ANSWER: The average blogger, probably next to zero. Most bloggers give up after a few months or maybe a year. It takes either time or/and knowledge of content, how search engines work and time invested in generating interest (backlinks). Most fail because they think writing a few articles will pull in the cash. In the early internet days, that was actually quite feasible. These days, you have to do your research and up your game.

QUESTION: Is the Indian economy’s recent 7.2% growth rate a one-off, or will it be part of a larger economic surge? - ANSWER: I doubt that it is one-off. It’s more likely to be part of long-term growth. But, “surge?” No, it’s not a surge. India has achieved higher growth rates in the past - see the chart below. There’s no ‘Modi magic’ here. Still, it’s good news., , Unfortunately, the Indian economic growth model does not create enough jobs. Nor does it provide enough rural incomes. These problems remain there even after the growth rate increases. They were there were with higher growth rates under the UPA., achhe din . (good days) are here.. Worse, now there are many more young people looking for jobs. Unless they can get reasonable jobs - over Rs. 15,000 per month - we cannot say that , :. Added March 1, 2018, Just as the GDP numbers, Modi govt too performing short of its potential?. See this article . Key excerpts:, …. few will be celebrating. For one, the slowdown India has endured has been largely self-inflicted. A bad-debt crisis, an inexplicable decision to ban cash holdings overnight and then a poorly planned rollout of a new goods-and-services tax combined to push Indian growth well below six percent., It’s hard to cheer a recovery when you shouldn’t have had anything to recover from in the first place, n fact, the biggest engine of growth continues to be government spending, which is supposed to grow by almost 11 percent in real terms this year.. I, Put that together with India’s troubling fiscal deficit - which is pushing seven percent of . when both the federal and state governments are included, one of the worst figures in the G-20 - and this revival starts to look a bit unsustainable.. GDP , “India growing at five percent, six percent or even seven percent is not an India that is going to face up to [the challenge of youth unemployment],” . Finance Minister Arun Jaitley warned back then., And he was right. In India, a country where a million young people join the job market every month, seven percent growth simply isn’t enough.

QUESTION: How do electricians add new outlets? - ANSWER: It depends on the situation. Sometimes they go on the surface of the wall, sometimes inside the wall. I’m not an electrician but I’ve done both.

QUESTION: How clean can water possibly be? - ANSWER: I am a metals chemist in the semiconductor industry and when you have super clean water they start measuring the water by the resistance of the water to electric current. Distilled water can often have a few mega ohms per cm of resistance. At this level water tastes normal., Cleaner water can be obtained by deionisation, DI water uses ion exchange resins to remove further ionic impurities taking the water up to 16 or even 17 megaohm (MΩ) resistance. Water starts tasting strange at this level of resistance—not bad, just a little bit strange., Then there are ultrapure water systems that further filter DI water; these systems are capable of greater than 18 MΩ per centimeter resistance. At this level the contaminant level of the water will be in the very low ppt (parts per trillion) range. At these levels, the water tastes about the same as DI water: a little bit strange, but you would probably not even notice unless you were thinking about or comparing flavors., By the way, the claims that drinking ultrapure water will hurt your electrolyte balance is a complete urban myth. The electrolytes they are talking about are naturally occurring salts, and with the possible exception of potassium salt, most people have way more electrolytes than they need. Even with potassium you would have to drink enough to burst your kidneys for it to be dangerous to your electrolyte levels. This much water would be dangerous to your body for many other reasons before your electrolyte levels would affect you., PS, I knew a technician who would take ultrapure 18 MΩ water home every day and used it to drink as well as to make all of her coffee and tea. She did this for more than 20 years and swore by it. I would not endorse this., EDIT, The question “How is clean water made” , is not the question I set out to answer; for some reason my answer was moved to this question. The question I set out to answer was something like “what does ultraclean water taste like?”, This is the first time I have had an answer moved to a completely different question and I think that Quora should not allow answers to be moved to different questions!

QUESTION: Is it better to take any job even if it doesn't pay well right away? - ANSWER: Yes I think it is., Take me for example. I had been happily travelling and working in Asia for 10 years. I returned to the UK at 30 with no money, a wife a kid and one more on the way., I applied for various jobs with no luck so ended up picking potatoes on a farm, then washing dishes in a local country club. I did that for a month. I worked hard to support my family. I only earned a modest wage but I had self respect. It was honest money., A fellow kitchen hand saw my work ethic and recommended me to her husband as a labourer digging holes in the road. It was hard work but more money. It kept me fit and I learned new skills, like using a pneumatic drill and laying pipes., After 6 weeks of that I got a much better job using my degree. The pipe layers were disappointed. They said if I'd stayed on I would have quickly worked my way up., I got a big pay rise, a car, and benefits. However the things I learned in those humble jobs stayed with me for life., Work hard. You never know who's watching., There's no shame in any honest work., Grab any job you can. You never know where it will lead

QUESTION: What would have happend in Halo if instead of the Covenant, the UNSC met Orks at harvest (the second Waaagh that attacked Armageddon a few hundred million orks)? - ANSWER: If the entire WAAAGH was on-planet, either since they had no ships or they were on a Space Hulk that was crashed into Harvest, then the UNSC would just try to evacuate the planet before dropping a NOVA bomb on the planet., That's pretty much the best chance the UNSC has here. Yeah, the loss of Harvest will be painful, but the UNSC weaponry, vehicles and aircraft aren't enough to do much. The prototype and heavy gear like the Sparrowhawk, Rhino, Vulture etc, might make a dent but the UNSC just don't have enough of these vehicles to make any considerable impact., If there's a space fleet, again. The best option is a Longsword squadron remote controlled by an AI slipping in and detonating a NOVA bomb or ten in strategic locations of the fleet., The UNSC aren't going to be winning this fight conventionally. But luckily for them, flinging nuclear weaponry around like it's going out of style isn't an issue.

QUESTION: What can I do to prevent a bad astral projection experience? - ANSWER: I read about that too; here are my thoughts: , You are lucid during AP, and you know that although the characters you may encounter act on their own volition, so do you. They can't hurt you, because during AP, you are pure energy. You may have had the sensation of leaving your body, and exploring stuff, and being in your physical form, but this is just a 'trick' so that you can feel comfortable in what you are doing, and also comprehend your environment in a familiar way that compares to the actual physical environment you see with your real eyes. , So you can't destroy energy. During AP, you are tapping into a world of 'code'. And 'code' does not know fear, or the difference between bad or good. So it is only your conscious mind that may inject these ideas into an AP experience. So just know that. If the Devil himself appears, just change yourself into a God or something, and defeat it. , I believe there is just one emotion. And it is up to our conscious minds to keep a balance between what we regard as good and bad emotions. Because AP exists in the realm of our subconscious minds, where emotions are not judged. Only our conscious minds judge, and we are conscious during AP. So just be a bad ass during AP, and everything else will respect you for that, and leave you alone :)

Being paid to play football professionally is a pretty good gig. , A player might . to play at a certain franchise for any number of reasons. Maybe they grew up watching a certain team, or maybe one team is willing to pay them quite a bit more in free agency, or maybe they’re getting older and want to take one last run at winning a Super Bowl ring.

QUESTION: Why did Pope Francis say that the Jewish covenant with God has never been broken? - ANSWER: Because God does not break his promises.

QUESTION: Why does the Quran mention one day of judgment/resurrection (the last day of Satan's mischief), yet it seems that some Muslims believe that everyone is judged as soon as they die and sent to either to heaven or hell? - ANSWER: As soon as a person dies, Akhirah/Akhirat or Afterlife starts for that person. Believing in Akhirah is one of the rudimentary beliefs of Islam. If one doesn't believe in Akhirah then he won’t be a Muslim. This afterlife is unending and it has some stages also., Akhirah starts with death itself so whoever dies, he steps in the afterlife. Some people die early and some will die later, that’s the difference. There will be people also before Qiyamah (Destruction of everything/The Doomsday) but there won’t be any believers before Qiyamah. There will be basically all sinners., When the sun will rise from the west (Day of destruction), no matter how much someone repents it won’t be granted. So chance of earning rewards and mercy from Allah will be concluded., Now Similar happens before someone’s death too, there is a time before death when your repentance won’t be granted. That’s why when someone is dying, Muslims nearby that person try so that he utters Shahadah (Islamic testimony of faith) one last time. This is most important for a case of non-muslim because that will be his final chance to become a Muslim., Now let me clarify a bit., 1. Death (1st stage of Akhirah), 2. Grave(2nd stage of Akhirah; sinners will start to get the taste of Hell already and true believers will start to feel the fresh wind of heaven). You start to feel the heat before putting your finger in the fire, right? Grave for sinners will be like that., “And indeed, for those who have wronged . is a punishment before that,. but most of them do not know.” - (Surah At-Tur 47), This punishment before the ultimate punishment is known as punishment in grave. That’s why this stage is also called ‘Barzakh’ or ‘Barrier’. True believers will easily overcome this barrier as grave will feel like almost heaven to them., behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected. “That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind." No! It is only a word he is saying; and . .”- (Surah Al Mu’minun: 100), So grave is a barrier that we all have to cross before we face the Day of Judgment., 3. Qiyamah (Dooms day/Day of destruction) (3rd stage of Akhirah): Unfortunately both sinners and Satan will observe this particular stage of Akhirah. This will remind them that whatever mentioned in the Qur’an was true. Now there is no going back. Archangel Israfil (Raphael) will blow his trumpet for the first time and dooms day will occur. Everything and everyone on earth will die. Finally Satan will die after living for so long. Satan along with other sinners will enter . stage 1 (Death). ., Satan was living all this time because Allah promised him to give a long life until Dooms day:, [Satan] said, "Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected." [ Allah ] said, "Indeed, you are of those reprieved." (Surah Al-Araf 14–15), Now we don’t know how long it will be before the next stage starts (Hashr) where everyone will stand. In between, Collapse of the universe might happen and Allah might again recreate suitable conditions for Hashr., 4. Hashr/the grand gathering in front of Allah/the judgment day(4th stage of Akhirah). Allah will order Israfil again to blow his trumpet for the 2nd time so that everyone stands up from grave. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) will be the first one to wake up from grave., 5. Mizaan (weighing of good and bad deeds) (5th stage of Akhirah; at this stage it will be mostly clear who will ultimately make it to heaven or who earned hell., 6. Shafaat (6th stage of Akhirah) (Intercession of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and the holy Qur’an so that Allah pardons some people among sinners because they might had some faith inside them as well). Mainly People who respected Qur’an and previous prophets of Islam and also who led their life according to the teachings of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) will get this special shafaat., 7. Siraat (7th stage of Akhirah) (The bridge over Hell): All have to go through this dark bridge which is over Hell. True believers will pass it with ease and with lighting speed and sinners will fall since it will be dark for them., 8. Hell/Heaven (Final stage of Akhirah): Sinners will be in Hell. Munafiqs (Hypocrites) will be at the bottom. There will be seven hells. True believers will be in Heaven. There are eight heavens/Jannah. There will be a special border (a wall) between hell and heaven which would be called ‘Araf’ (7th Chapter of Qur’an was named after this place). The place will be inhabited by people who are evenly balanced in good and bad deeds. They will listen what is happening on both side. Mostly they will be happy to find themselves not in Hell. It is said that by the grace of almighty Allah one day they will be in heaven too., So after death one does not simply sent to hell or heaven. People experience in grave a little bit of what would it really feel like in heaven/hell before the ultimate judgment.

QUESTION: Do you believe AI is replacing jobs? - ANSWER: Depends on the timeframe. AI has already replaced humans in a variety of tasks. If we succeed at creating a general artificial intelligence, then they could replace all humans given enough time and resources. (Insert your favorite dystopian robot movie here.), , In the next several years, maybe as long as 2–3 decades, AI will replace anything that:, Currently involves a lot of people paid a decent amount of money (thus, worth the cost of implementation)., Is something repetitive that can be done without intense human focus: the mentally easy jobs., But isn’t able to be boiled down to a relatively simple set of rules: that can be handled by standard computer programming., Basically anything relatively easy for humans is vulnerable, as long as the money to be made is more than the cost of training the system. Driving automobiles is a clear one.

QUESTION: What do you think of Donald Trump as the president? - ANSWER: Seriously? He was the worst president of my 60+ year lifetime, and one of the two or three worst of all time. Not only was he totally incompetent, but he was (and remains) actually dangerous. He expected loyalty to him personally, not to the country or the Constitution. He insulted and denigrated everyone.

QUESTION: What does this new Union budget of India 2016-17 mean to us? - ANSWER: Judging a budget almost eventually always comes down to personal views and opinions based on how the budget impacts that person(or category of persons)., Having said that, I feel this was a good budget which has addressed a portion of the general populous which has been overlooked for a few years now, i.e. the rural class. This has brought about a lot of initiatives that will impact rural India positively and will allow them to prosper through future initiatives all Governments will push through., This budget also brought about some significant changes for the working class through moves such as increasing ceiling for rental deduction u/s 80 GG and increases in the increase in the deduction u/s 87A. One could say this budget has been geared largely towards the lower class and middle class of India., In a rather significant move, the Voluntary Disclosure Scheme has been brought with a compliance window from June to September. This could play a key role in converting black money to white money for a lot of people who are hesitant to disclose their incomes. These incomes will be taxed at a rate of 45% including cess and penalties., There were also some incentives and tax exemptions announced for Start-Ups which was expected based on the announcement in January and is a welcome move to promote growth in Tech Entrepreneurship., The Corporates who were expected some major incentives in their favour were neglected this time(almost completely) but hopefully will prosper through some of the significant macro-economic policies announced.

QUESTION: How do you differentiate between a valve knock or a rod knock? - ANSWER: Valves with excessive clearance make a constant, repetitive “ticking” sound. The ticking comes from the valvetrain area and will increase in volume with the severity of the problem. Note that some level of ticking is common on certain engines with mechanical (not hydraulic) valve lifters., A bottom-end connecting rod knock (rod bearing at the crankshaft) can range from a light “tapping” to a much deeper “thunking” sound depending on the severity of the problem. The noise comes from deep inside the engine and typically occurs at idle and/or when the engine is under light throttle at a fixed driving speed., A worn upper-end connecting rod wrist pin bushing (and/or the pin bore in the piston) makes a hard, sharp, metallic “tapping” sound that is most notable with the engine is idling when hot. In some cases it can sound like a double knock. Wrist pin issues are rare in modern engines., Piston slap, caused by excessive piston to cylinder bore clearance, is a related issue that produces a hollow, bell-like sound that is most common when the engine is cold and may get louder as the engine is placed under load., Diagnosing engine noises take a practiced ear. Familiarity with the type of engine being worked on helps as well. Every engine has its own unique sounds, and a noise that is perfectly normal in engine may indicate a problem in another.

QUESTION: What tennis player had the most unexpectedly successful career? - ANSWER: Dominika Cibulkova comes to my mind. She is a small girl (5.3 or 1.6) coming from a small country (Slovakia). And she was starting her career in the times of high players. But. Just month ago she ended her unbelievable career full of ups and downs. But most importantly she has won Masters in 2016, been runner up at AO 2014 and won 8 wta titles. A former no. 4 was put in a outsider position in so many matches, and yet, won the most of them. One of the proofs is also fact, that she was playing at Fed Cup for Slovakia as 16 years old which makes her the youngest slovakian to do so. And with Dominik Hrbatý, another former slovakian tennis player, she has won Hopman Cup, now canceled tournament of mixed doubles. So yes. I think one of the most unexpected successes is Domi’s career.,

QUESTION: Should I buy an antivirus for my PCs? - ANSWER: No, you don’t. What Microsoft offers for free is enough. I never used any 3rd party antivirus since Windows Vista and NEVER had any issues., The most important thing to do is to learn what to do and what not do to with your computer. I already copy/pasted my list today, but let’s do a new copy/paste. Here is the list of rules I consider essential for any computer user:, NEVER modify UAC settings and, for everyday use, create for yourself a simple user account. Do not use an administrator account. This way, every time an UAC prompt pops up, you have to enter a password and this gives you time to think if it is a legitimate request or not…, NEVER open any links received over the internet in any form (e-mail, any kind of messenger, etc.) unless you are ABSOLUTELY sure that you received them from a legitimate source. Double and triple check any link before opening it., VirusTotal. NEVER install any software from dubious sources. If you must install such software, scan it first with . ., Even when you install legitimate software, downloaded from known websites, be VERY CAREFUL and always check each install step to avoid the install of bundled unwanted apps. NEVER use the “NEXT-NEXT-NEXT” install “method”., Avoid accessing dubious websites for any reason. But if you must access such websites, do it from a virtual machine. Set up such a machine and use it for any “dangerous” operations. A VM is very easy to repair. Just take a VM snapshot and restore it if it gets infected., NEVER click any links in ANY web pop-ups, no matter what problem they say your computer has (and what super-fantastic repair method they offer)., The most important rule of all is BACKUP-BACKUP-BACKUP. Do daily backups of your user files (or keep them in the cloud if you don’t have too many). I keep all my documents in the cloud (though I also have local backups)., Also, do periodic system images. This is also VERY IMPORTANT. I take a new system image every month and always keep 2 copies. This way, even if a cryptolocker like malware infects your computer, you just restore the system image from backup and the problem is solved.

QUESTION: How is the social life of a MS/MTECH student at IIT Madras? - ANSWER: It’s all upto the individual., Most MS/Mtech/Ph.D students stay in lab and room. They rarely go out on the crazy IIT life as you mentioned. I have seen my peers do it. I have seen exceptions too. So, it’s all upto YOU. If you want to have fun, there is nothing stopping you from hanging around in all the activities happening at institute. Go to CFI, go to all events, talks, EMLs, take part in TechSoc, LitSoc, Sports, Gym, Swimming, Art, volunteer, and be part of Shaastra, Saarang team, etc etc and list goes on. I have been to most freshie events conducted, CFI, Shaastra, Saarang events, Techsoc, volunteered for some events, Martial arts, EMLs, talks, shows etc. It’s fun. So, don’t miss out., Don’t filter your smails. Look at them. If you find something interesting, just go., BTW, there is no shortage of time or pressure. Just plan your research well & execute. In fact, you will have more time during summer & winter vacation at institute.

Thanks for reading.

QUESTION: Is there a reason why they are making new apartments with paper thin walls where people hear everything their upstairs, downstairs, or next door neighbor is doing? How is this legal to rent noisy apartments? - ANSWER: I know exactly what you mean by thin walls. And people are generally louder and ruder these days just to add insult to injury., It doesn't seem legal, but who reports it, where do you report it, and what happens if someone does report it? Many times nothing happens., There are a few things you can do to help dampen noise. First, understand how sound travels. You have to block the way it reverberates through hollow walls and floors., Area rugs on the floor help dampen noise from below. Tapestries, wall hangings, even drapes on walls can help. If you have the money, you can put up noise cancelling wall tiles, just don't install them to the walls. Get some panels and attach the tiles to the panels. Then place the panels against the wall. This way, you don't damage the walls, and you can move the panels anywhere you want., Noise from upstairs is more difficult. What do you put on the ceiling? I can't think of anything., You can place a cheap radio near noisy walls, or use a white noise machine to disrupt sound waves. I don't recommend places speakers or amplifiers near walls though, because then you become the neighbor other people complain about., The only other option I can think of is to move out of the apartment and find a house to rent.

QUESTION: Are ICAI study materials enough for CA-IPCC Nov 14 preparation? Or is it necessary to refer to other books as well? - ANSWER: Trust me, I ask that question to myself many a time during my ongoing CA Final studies :D The fact is, ICAI study material will help you in understanding the basics well and also, to a decent extent, their practical applicability. Also, since you're studying from them yourself, it'll help you think about stuff and brainstorm - a vital part of learning. However, most people, myself attend classes, mug up what we're taught, without grasping the practical significance of what we're taught. Also, the scope for thinking about them yourself also remains reduced. In my case, I had to go through every AS to understand it's practical applicability, the issues that arise and how they're resolved, during my articleship. In fact I was even told that guidance notes of the ICAI (on accounting as well as auditing matters) were a waste of time, when in fact they're of utmost importance when it comes to deepening your understanding of concepts. Now coming to your question, to be specific, when you know how are questions asked, study material is not only sufficient, but also the best. To know that, you will have to go through past question papers, suggestions and write mock tests to see where you stand. This is where classes /notes by authors come in handy. With their vast experience, they are able to provide notes which are to the point and exam oriented - which MAY not be enough to get your concepts crystal clear and razor sharp - but MAY help you clear the examination. So if you feel that you have the necessary time available with you, then prefer the study material. Else just go through other notes. Hope this helps to answer your question. All the best :)

QUESTION: How do you determine if experiment results are accurate? - ANSWER: When you undertake an experiment the first thing you have to do is work out the error tolerance (or error bars)., If you are using instruments with digital output then each digit can be one unit wrong (nearly). Using similar logic you build up a list of all the possible errors and then you add them all together., After you have undertaken the experiment your results are whatever you found +/- the errors involved. If this fits with your expectations (such as the theory) then it can be published and others will be free to undertake further experiments but, hopefully, with fewer error bars (and therefore ever more accuracy).

QUESTION: Were there castles in Asia in the Middle Ages? - ANSWER: There were certainly fortified structures in Asia in the Middle Ages. Whether or not we want to classify them as . castles. is a more complicated question., “Castle” is usually used to describe the fortified homes of aristocrats, typically found in rural areas. These are distinct from fortresses, fortified structures used as garrisons, watch towers, and strong points by the standing armies of larger states, fortified cities, large population centers with walls around them, and fortified palaces, very large administrative centers which doubled as residences for monarchs., By that definition, then, there were some castles in Europe. Japan, where power largely devolved on a decentralized warrior aristocracy, had a culture of castles. And for various periods of Indian history, the fortified homes of local warlords could reasonably be considered castles. However, there’s also a lot of imperial military architecture in India and China which should probably not, on technical grounds, be called castles.

QUESTION: How do you restore weathered garden furniture? - ANSWER: , Wooden furniture is perfect for a garden, but it should be periodically renovated., I can share a few simple tips to renovate your garden furniture, based on my experience., It is preferable to do so at the beginning of the season., Even with accurate caring and normal storage in the cold season, the furniture looks a little shabby after winter., Of course, I mean that the hardware is initially of very good quality and made of quality wood., For example, I have been using furniture from . gardenfurniture.co.uk . for a long time and I am delighted with their quality., I have been cleaning dirt and dust with a stiff brush for a long time., It also helps clear cobwebs and moss., Then I check the stability of the tables and chairs, check the bolts, and replace the rusty ones., Furniture cleaning is carried out only with soapy water and by thorough washing., For any stains, I usually use a mild wine vinegar solution., I would advise you to check the effect of the substance on some inconspicuous areas because it can harm the wood., Next, I carefully sand the furniture and further actions depend on the material that was used for the furniture., I usually prefer hardwoods like larch and oak because they will withstand all kinds of environmental influences., Soft breeds require reliable protection., Each type of wood has its methods of preserving strength and natural beauty., After all these actions, I apply several layers of varnish, at intervals of several hours., Teak oil is a great solution., You can also use a water-based varnish., It is very important to apply the oil evenly and in small layers so that it dries faster., By the way, after these procedures, the wood is more resistant to cracking and ultraviolet radiation, so you first need to use the furniture in a gentle mode., If you assembled your garden furniture, then you will need more care of it., In this video, you can learn more about DIY furniture and how to care for it,

QUESTION: What do you know about Rumi? - ANSWER: That such a person does not exist. Mowlana Jalaludding Rumi Balkhi was born in then Iranian province of Khorasan, now part of Tajikistan, and died in another part of the region under Iranian influence and control, now part of Turkey.

QUESTION: I am starting medical school next year. How do I plan for finances and student loan debt reduction? - ANSWER: From someone who had no student debt before graduating medical school through intricate planning and imaginative ideas that are replicable:, Ignore military “scholarship” options unless you want to serve your country. You end up with less over time unless your school is extremely pricey., Look at scholarships and state loans especially if you are a in state resident. Some are 0%-4% interest in Texas. Borrow using federal unsubsidized first (assuming you don’t qualify for Pell etc). Send a partial refund to your loan servicer in unsubsidized within 120 days for an interest free loan., Look into private variable interest rate student loans on top of these fixed interest rates as it’s very likely the Fed will have a dovish tilt (unless you are aiming for the fickle PSLF). Discover if I recall correctly does 3-month LIBOR + 1.6% and 1% cash back for good grades in the health profession. You can always borrow at a different provider or refinance to fixed rates later if the Fed projections become too hawkish by surprise. Don’t get scared into paying higher cost fixed rates when it’s unlikely to go up. EU and Australia is in shambles with EU zombie banks. Canada’s banks are late cycle. It’s unlikely for too many rate hikes. Not only this, your secret weapon is the implied probability of interest swaps and the time lag in adjusting your variable interest rate loans. Take advantage of the crystal ball!, This will save you several thousands of dollars per year for your whole loan period. This might add up to $100,000 over time!!, Choose the name brand school if you want out of medicine or academic medicine. Cheaper school is 10x better for practicing. Almost all patients never ask where you went to school. Pay is the same RVUs. I went to the cheapest and chillest school in the nation even with top MCAT/GPA., Check out Medicaid or Obamacare. Free health insurance is a huge money saver., If you’re a bit on the riskier side and fully understand how this works - take out a mortgage if you are sure the cashflow will pay off. My cutoff is 2% rent per month at least based on accurate rent data. Don’t compromise on the cashflow!! I know a few classmates who got in real estate and graduated debt free. Note that you have to be very very careful and hopefully most of your tenants are med students etc. But the upside is you’ll qualify for Obamacare if your school doesn’t accept Medicaid as “equivalent health insurance” and you can lower taxes by paying off some student loan interest up to $2,500 and then borrowing again. You also probably qualify for some free weatherization/other grants from the USDA to fix up a home for free., If you are even more adventurous, look into converted van living. Or if you have super cheap school subsidized rent that includes electricity (assume they don’t specify anything on the lease legally speaking), put in a ton of cryptocurrency miners if you know how they work. You’ll probably make more than rent., Get a beater car. Ideally one with aesthetic hail damage. $200 running 2004 Ford Focus with low miles was possible. If the title isn’t salvage, max out auto loan at credit union for ~2%. Some of them don’t check for full insurance coverage. Buy minimum car insurance by law only. Nobody sues someone that looks poor. Drive as an Uber driver by setting your destination on the app and picking people on the way only. You’ll make more than car expenses without much extra time. Extra 2-3 min per day commute for $5 twice a day adds up., Look for NIH funded summer research, got me $2000/month and if you have credit cards for big purchases (over $3000) take advantage of the 0% balance transfer programs. Bank of America currently has a no fee 0% balance transfer promo. There may also be federal work study programs where you just look after the study rooms while studying for $4000 a semester.

QUESTION: What is the importance of cram schools in Japan? - ANSWER: Cram schools are one of essential academic resources to achieve success in this society. They are also one of the main reason attributed for expansion of Japan’s opportunity inequality., , Above: typical cram schools in Japan. Most cram school are like economy class seating which they cram students as much as they can for more profits. There are exceptions such as one to one tutoring which is getting more popular these days., Cram schools are almost mandatory if one is planning to go to higher education (which itself is almost mandatory if you are seeking healthy stable job)., Entrance examination is extremely difficult and 6 hour standard school programs are no where near as enough to cover the entire educational requirement to achieve considerable results., Usually, it is very difficult for students who attends public secondary education to enter top, secondary, or even higher end of thirty tier universities even with the aid of cram schools unless the student is naturally talented. Hence, many students choose private education which also require intense exam competition. Also, statutory education ends at ninth grade (or age 15) so people who are willing to study until 12th grade also must take exams., Most higher tier students take three examination during their adolescence, Middle School entrance exam. Increasingly popular among parents, particularity six year program course has high competition.. 6th grade (age 11–12), 9th grade (age 14–15). High School entrance exam. Mandatory to receive diploma unless the student attends a 6 year program., Collage Examination. 12th grade (age 17<), Each examination typically requires two to three years of intense studying with the aid of cram schools. Many students begin intense studying at around the end of third grade or fourth grade (age 9 to 10) which would make them advantageous during their teenage years as they are likely able to go to a more sophisticated secondary schools which offer better education, sparing them from extra after-school learning., I personally started my intense studying at around fourth grade when I was still in the United States. I took the examination about half a year after I returned to Japan and entered a marginal private school., So how intense is this studying?, As for my case, it was around 12 to 14 hours of study time every day during my younger period. I skipped the 9th grade exam since I was at a 6 year program. I studied around 16 hours during my high school periods during peak times, particularly before end semester exams with the aid of cram schools. I also did that for around two thirds of a year before higher education entrance exam. Some cram schools allowed beating and physical punishment and sometimes I travel around the city by trains attending multiple cram schools in a day so it was quite tough to be honest. Looking back, I wander how the hell I was able to withstand that (actually, maybe I haven't because I ended up hospitalized multiple times during that period), The problem with this system is that cram schools are usually only available in large cities, usually with places within the metropolitan area of over one million residents such as Fukuoka and Hiroshima. Out of those area, the majority of the schools are located in the central Tokyo Metropolitan area. Hence, students in large cities have better chances of entering cram schools. The difference in opportunity among urban and rural areas have been a huge social problem in Japan for the past decades. This is actually accelerating the population crisis in Japan.

QUESTION: How are the units of the international system defined? - ANSWER: At one time they were arbitrarily defined and implemented as physical standards such as a one meter long bar and a 1 kg weight. As such they were carefully crafted so as to resist changes due to aging and temperature etc. And carefully guarded to minimize changes due to handling. Distribution of standards was done by carefully cloning the standards but as generations are made they lose accuracy to errors along the way., As time went on the physical standards have been replaced by natural physical constants. that is wavelengths of light, frequency of pure material resonances, speed of light, etc. In this way the standards can be reproduced independently of a prized and carefully guarded physical standard. and it will be the same in every place.

I looked down and saw that on the printer, the green and amber lights were flashing! A jam? No way! I had only put fresh paper in a couple of hours earlier and the paper was quite expensive, so it shouldn’t jam? Then I peered under the desk and there was Sonny biting bits off a sheet of coloured card and then watching them drop into the printer!

Quite what he thought he was achieving, I simply don’t know? I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry? I did only the only thing I could - I scooped him up, kissed and cuddled him and thanked him for his ‘. ’!. help, The essay was (eventually) a success!

QUESTION: What is Sega Heroes? - ANSWER: SEGA Heroes is a Match-3 RPG for mobile (Android and iOS)., , Just like the games Candy Crush and lot of other Match-3 games but with heroes of Sega legacy added to the game., Each match you pick 4 heroes that are categorized by colors (Yellow, Blue, Green & Red); you can pick one hero per color. You will then fight 4 other heroes or villains if you prefer. ;-) Often you will fight heroes that are available to you, but there is also a lot of famous SEGA villains that are only there as opponent like Dr. Eggman., There is power-up skills (when you accumulate a lot of tile of the same color) and also stars tiles that are created when you match 4+ tiles together and they will also trigger certains hero's skills., There is a main campaign with a small story line along the way, the main evil of that quest is named Dremagen and she is creating clones of a lot of SEGA heroes and villains to fight you. So far it is endless, as far as I know there is no end. I don't know if they plan to make one, can be nice, but might also kill the dynamic of a daily grind in this kind of game., There is also a side quest named "Beyondering" where you can only use certain heroes., There is Arena battles where you fight other players daily. Your daily rank give you bonus., There is also a lot of "events" that are mostly renewed daily that also give you a lot of bonus. Some events are up for multiple days at time. Most events limit the heroes you can pick (e.g., some event are oriented to Crazy Taxi heroes, and they will either limit you to these or give you extra power for these specific heroes)., As I write this, they also added the possibility for us to build Guild of up to 30 players, but they have not enabled anything else regarding guild yet. It will be the next big update I guess., And of course, like all good mobile games nowadays, there is a lot of in-games purchase available. If you want to upgrade faster, unlock characters, etc. Some characters can cost a lot to unlock (I have saw as high as 90$ for example)., Personally, I have been playing a bit before they officially announced it and I really enjoy that game. It is the only game I play daily on my phone nowadays. I highly recommend it!, Relevant links:, SEGA Heroes @ Sega, SEGA Heroes: Match-3 RPG Quest @ Google Play, ‎SEGA Heroes: Match-3 RPG Quest @ Apple App Store, SEGA Heroes @ Sonic News Network

QUESTION: Which number comes next in this series 68,93,16? - ANSWER: .. The number of terms is too less, so it is easy to fit an example sequence just by mental inspection and utilizing control terms. According to the example sequence below, the next term is . 137, a[n+1]=a[n]+[(-1)^{n}(2n+1)25]-2n. , . n=0,1,2.., and that’s it — the numbers fit!. Assume . a[0]=68, n=0. ,, (fits). a[1]=a[0]+[(-1)^0(1)25]-0=68+25=93, n=1. ,, a[2]=a[1]+[(-1)^1(3)25]-2=93–75–2=16. (fits), ,. n=2, a[3]=a[2]+[(-1)^2(5)25]-4=16+125–4=137. , which is what you ask for., PS: I think that most “competitive” exam Qs with multi-choice answers are flawed. You could perhaps fit each of the answer choices to a Q into a corresponding sequence with the given numbers in the Q. Only the wackiness of the sequences may vary.

QUESTION: Neither Buddha nor Mahavira preached in Sanskrit? Why do you think this is so? - ANSWER: Buddha and Mahavira both were teaching the common class of their time. It is true their followers consist of all parts of society but main focus was on non-Brahman class. The Sanskrit was limited to Brahmins only. All others were prohibited from learning (reading, writing, speaking and all type language functions) Sanskrit. The Peoples language during the era of Mahavira was Ardhmagdhi and Pali during Buddha era. These facts are noted everywhere and even a pre-primary level reader of our religious literature comes to know these fact very easily. Both Buddha and Mahavira wanted to free the masses from vedic brahmani jail of all types of harassment. Hence, they insisted the use of language of the mass. It so simple and so clear., I think there is no need to go in deep detailing the brahmani barricades on each and every road of knowledge. One of those barricades was “Ban on learning of Dharma Shastras”. The shastras were allowed for brahmins only. All other classes of society were kept away from them. The language of Shastras was Sanskrit. And hence, it was also kept away from the masses. And thereby both Buddha and Mahavira were made to opt for the language of masses of their times.

QUESTION: Why is President Trump’s approval rating plummeting during his shutdown? - ANSWER: Is it? I wouldn’t be surprised, but I haven’t seen any polls or solid evidence blown my way about his approval ratings, which of course doesn’t mean there isnt any. If they are dropping (lower than they already were), then it’s most likely a sign that a majority of Americans blame him for the shutdown- I mean, how can you not? Trump himself said the shutdown was his, and that he’d be “proud” to shut down the government over the border wall. Speaking of which, it didn’t seem like the border wall was an immensely popular idea in the first place; I think the people who want the wall are a relatively small-yet-intense faction of conservatives who won’t shut up about it, making it seem like the idea has more traction than it really does. I would think even other conservatives would be able to see that that money would be much better spent taking care of veterans and improving healthcare and infrastructure- you know, things they said they wanted. Wanna take care of our own? Start doing it, the wall is superfluous. Trump and his GOP are more interested in sending a message of hate and aggression than strengthening the country, it seems, and that must not sit well with most of America.

QUESTION: What is the FCD at VTU? What percentage is required to get into the FCD criteria? - ANSWER: VTU results are divided in three grades or class .These are as follows., SECOND CLASS - UPTO 59.99%, FIRST CLASS - UPTO 69.99 %, FIRST CLASS WITH DISTONCTION -70%and above., Hope it will clear your doubt., Thanks.

QUESTION: Is it common for a 40-year-old single man to get excluded from social gatherings? - ANSWER: It depends on the man., I have several male friends in that demographic., Two of them have busy social lives. They are involved in adult sport leagues, and meet friends for drinks or dinner at least once a week., They are also fun, interesting, pleasant men. So people want to be around them., Another guy has a demanding job, is raising two teens, and has a second job on the weekends. While he is invited to social gatherings, he seldom has the time., I know another man, a couple of years older. He is miserable, bigoted and spouts off about his support for Trump and his hatred for snowflakes and libtards without any provocation., As you can imagine, he is excluded from most social gatherings., So if you want to socialize, make an effort to be sociable.

QUESTION: To be an OBC-NCL, is the present income status or the joining income status of parents checked (if parents are government employees)? - ANSWER: As far as I know, if both of your parents are group B gazetted officers ( or higher post) you won't be falling under NCL. If one of your parent is a group A gazetted officer then forget about NCL. If your parent is a group B gazetted officer and won't be promoted to group A officer before completing his 40 years, then also you are NCL. Although I have read this somewhere, you may better confirm this once…, , Source : https://www.clearias.com/obc-reservation-eligibility/, Signing off, ~ Kamal Utla

QUESTION: Which is the best for personal use, Kali Linux in VirtualBox or in VMware? - ANSWER: As with all these questions about Kali, if you have to ask here, you should be using a different distribution. That honeypot to catch hackers seems to be working well!

QUESTION: Trump said he would "terminate" the payroll tax if he is reelected. If he did so, how do you think he would go about funding Social Security? - ANSWER: He wouldn’t. He doesn’t care, because one of his goals is to strangle Social Security and Medicare out of existence. Then the consevatives that keep robbing the trust fund can say, “I told you so.” It’s easy to predict a programs demise if you embezzle from it. So a few years from now, you’ll have to let Grandma live with you, because they kicked her out of a nursing home or senior living. And it might even be you. Of course you might save that tax money you no longer have to pay. But who does that? Trump doesn’t care if you get what you have coming to you. Just ask his disabled nephew. It’s time to make him get a new job. Maybe, he can run a casino or start a university. One thing for sure he will fuck anybody out of their due.

QUESTION: Is Hillary Clinton's higher education plan fatally flawed? - ANSWER: reduce . Neither Hillary or Bernie have suggested ways to . the cost of college. Both have focused on getting money to students to help them pay the steadily increasing costs of college. All such plans run into the same problem: Colleges can just keep increasing their costs to absorb as much money as we make available., This isn’t only true for elite private schools like Harvard. States keep decreasing their financial support for “state” colleges and universities. In good ol’ liberal New York State, the legislature reduced its funding by the same amount as the last tuition increase. In effect, that tuition increase was paid to the state, for other programs, and none of it went to the schools., The federal government doesn’t run any universities (except for the service academies. See . User-10101980509374502950. ’s comment). If you want college costs held down, and if you want the whole community to share the costs of educating college students, then you need to focus on your state government — your state legislators, and your governor. Do you know who represents you in your state equivalents of the Senate and House of Representatives? Do you know their positions on funding colleges and universities? Or are you just happy when you hear them say, “We held down taxes last year”?

QUESTION: What manga got you hooked from the first chapter? - ANSWER: All You Need is Kill, , Obata Takeshi illustrated the manga, whom some may recognize as the illustrator of Death Note and Bakuman., Holyland, , Apocalypse no Toride, , Horimiya, , A complete 180 to the other mangas I mentioned when it comes to the genre. It’s a Comedy, Romance, School, Shounen, Slice of Life manga.

QUESTION: Has the advent of the Internet made having a good memory less valuable? - ANSWER: I believe having a good memory will always find a place of value whether we’re tied in to Google (or another search engine), or not. A good memory doesn’t necessarily indicate a high intelligence but a high intelligence is usually accompanied by a strong ability to associate. The guy who can remember the search terms that sped up things will remember those terms next time. The 12 times he needed to change his password for this site or that, he’ll be thankful he has a good memory., Our processors are what sets us apart from each other. Like our computers, we can install all the ram we want but if we’re not running a quick witted processor it doesn’t help us get pages loaded much faster. I really can’t think of any down side to having a good memory. People want to forget things when they have caused them grief. Having a good memory might be in conflict with sweeping things under rugs., I believe the advent of the internet and Google specifically has made an even playing field for many curious, smart, knowledge-hungry people. Being good with search terms is where the next separation takes place. Our machines keep track of everything now. My phone replaced my alarm clock and my watch and about 20 other things. The only thing new technology can’t replace is my past. That is all mine.

QUESTION: Why do socialists call themselves liberals when they don't care about freedom? - ANSWER: Okay, first, socialists don´t call themselves liberals. Socialists call themselves socialists, maybe social-democrats at best. Some people call liberals socialists and vice versa, but that is about the same as saying that conservatives are basically the same as fascists or nazis., So first, socialists and liberals are kinda different animals. Liberals do care a fair bit about freedom, and guess what - many socialists do, too. However, they stress on freedom from economic oppression. How free is a man or woman who must work 10 hours to barely make ends meet and lives in a hole? Can they really develop their talents the way they want? Can they really set a family and raise it as they want? Can they really say what they want, when they can be fired or evicted at the whim of their boss or their landlord? The government is just one possible source of oppression., Here is a quote by MLK:, “You can't talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You're really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry. Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong with capitalism. There must be a better distribution of wealth, and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism.”, Not like he cared about freedom, right?

QUESTION: What are the pros and cons of client-side rendering? - ANSWER: I've spent some time working on transitioning LinkedIn to use dust.js (http://engineering.linkedin.com/frontend/leaving-jsps-dust-moving-linkedin-dustjs-client-side-templates). Here are some of the lessons we've learned:, . Pros, : the markup for your page is served by a CDN, so latency is lower. The markup isn't fully expanded (e.g. for loops haven't run yet), so bandwidth usage is lower. Best of all, the templates are cached by the browser, so after the first page load, every refresh, you more or less send . Speed. the dynamic data (mostly JSON).. only, Reuse. : JS templates can be obviously rendered on the client. Some people above say that if JS is disabled, they no longer work. This is entirely untrue. Using v8 or some other embedded JS engine, it's possible to render the exact same template server side., : having all your view layer in JS templates makes it much easier to transition to rich client apps and client MVC (e.g. backbone.js). . Rich client apps, : at LinkedIn, we have a number of different webapp technologies (servlets, Grails, JRuby, etc). When they all used their own server-side rendering technologies (JSP, GPS, ERB), we couldn't share any UI code. Now that they all are moving to dust, we can share almost everything. . Sharing, Decoupling. : you can build out the entire view layer for your app without ever firing up a server; simply put your mock data in a JSON file or object and start coding. In time, this mock JSON becomes the "contract" between the client-side developer and the server-side developer. It can even be used for testing. , . Cons, : server-side languages can easily access resource bundles and complex formatter code for translations. On the client-side, it can be expensive to send down huge dictionaries and formatting logic.. i18n, : while most client-templates have a simple syntax and can be learned quickly, learning how to do client-side rendering in general is quite hard. You can't directly port over all the practices from server-side rendering and hope they work. i18n is one concrete example; others that require a new approach include generating links (e.g. to static content on a CDN or some signed URL), A/B testing, and security (xss, csrf).. Learning curve, : client-side rendering definitely isn't new, but it's not nearly as mainstream as server-side rendering. The available solutions, including the one we picked, are just not as mature and we've had to build a lot of features from scratch (see our dust.js fork: https://github.com/linkedin/dustjs). . Maturity, can. render JS templates on the server side, it's not always easy. You have to ensure that the rendering logic doesn't rely on anything in the DOM. This is especially tricky when integrating with something like client-side MVC, which wants to control all the rendering & logic and often is tied to the DOM. Best practices in this area are still being developed. . : although I said above you . Server-side support, Logic-less is hard. : this is specific to the dust/mustache family of templating technologies, but trying to keep a template totally logic-less is incredibly hard. It's a good strategy to keep your views clean & reusable, and it helps guarantee server-side rendering will work, but it comes at a cost. The fact is that views . do. have logic, and quite a bit of it. Encoding all of this into the JSON can be incredibly impractical. To work around it, we've built a suite of helpers (https://github.com/linkedin/dustjs-helpers) for all the common tasks, but sometimes it feels like we're trying implement a Turing complete language in helper syntax.

QUESTION: My 17-year-old daughter engaged in adult activities with an 18-year-old. Is this illegal? - ANSWER: FFS. Maybe depending on jurisdiction. Definitely not here in the UK. But she’s not a child and he/she’s not a creepy old person. I don’t see anything wrong here., Why don’t you sit and talk to your daughter? And try and remember what you were like at that age and if you had a chance maybe you would be doing the same. Just make sure she’s taking the right precautions and is having a bit of teenage fun instead of ruining her life. The world is different now.

QUESTION: Which bike is better: Yamaha FZS FI or Tvs apache RTR 180 ABS? - ANSWER: I own a FZS ver 1.0 (not the FI) and have been able to get my hands on the Apache 180. I am listing a few pros and cons of each bike which i have observed. This might help you decide better., Yamaha FZS FI, Pros, Definitely Better handing than the Apache, Wide rear tire gives absolute confidence in cornering, Quality of plastics, fit and finish is far better from the TVS, Cons, Just 150 cc, which is very much under powered for such a stable bike, you will want more power when you are on the highway, No ABS, but the brakes are quite adequate for emergency stops as you have wider rear tires., The childish looking center console (a personal opinion though), Apache 180 ABS, Pros, 180 cc engine with RTR which is absolutely amazing, Can race past the FZS on the highway with ease., Discs on both front and rear brakes with ABS which is pretty much spot on., Cons, The quality of plastics which start rattling after a few thousand km on Indian roads, Handles well but not on par with the Yamaha, But ultimately it is you who could decide which bike looks pleasing to you.. If you can get a Suzuki dealership in you city, I would suggest you try the Suzuki Gixxer which is also an amazing performer. , :. Resources, , , . It is purely based on personal experience..

QUESTION: Will I get into the Rutgers New Brunswick business? - ANSWER: It seems like you would be a very good candidate for the Rutgers NB business program. Your standardized test scores a very solid and it seems like you’ve done community work too. Maybe it would be good too if you show that you have leadership skills. Also, do you speak another language? That’s always something good to have on your resume. There’s room for improvement for your GPA but this should not keep you from getting into the business program., Good luck!

QUESTION: Does WhatsApp/Signal/Telegram has my private encryption key, so they can read my message content if they want? - ANSWER: That’s a whole bunch of different questions :), First, for whatsapp/signal (as they both use the same protocol), No, they don’t have your private key (nor do you have a single private key; per each correspondent, there is one private key per device you have., Which gives them a way to read messages (well, technically; there is no evidence they do this) by adding another key they DO have the private key for, to the set of keys your correspondent has for you, they can get a copy of every message. and the other way about of course, as you have a set of keys for them, too., With Telegram, things change., for person-to-person “private” links, there is a shared key known only to you and the other person, and you are meant to confirm that key using a key “fingerprint” expressed as emoji (no, I don’t know why they do that), For group chat though, there is no end-to-end encryption. You should not consider group chat in Telegram secure.

QUESTION: How do I choose a stream after 10th? - ANSWER: Choice of Stream after class 10 is totally your choice. So few points you should keep in mind while choosing your subjects are-, The subject which you can study for hours with full interest., 2. The subject which always keeps your interest on for knowing more., Now next is if your 10th marks which is having a great influence in getting the stream so decide earlier and study accordingly. If you cannot decide your stream after all this thoughts u can ask a person whom u can trust and who guided you in your studies because most of the times the tender age makes us confuse whether to go with our heart or with the thoughts of our society. See at the end you r going to study , u r going to deal with the subject so your choice should always be according to your interest. Now if you are having equal interest in subjects which you cannot include d in a single stream then comes the marks factor , availability of guidance factor etc. Be confident and never loose your self esteem. At the end with focus and hard work you can conquer anything you want.

QUESTION: When the transistor is on, can current flow both ways through it? Why? - ANSWER: A2A: It depends., in theory. is basically a switchable diode. When you supply current to the base, it conducts electricity in one direction between emitter and collector. That’s why the schematic symbol for a transistor looks the way it does.. An idealized simple bipolar junction transistor, like a 2N2222 used commonly in home electronics, , , Diode symbol, , Transistor symbol. It basically has the diode symbol built into it., That’s in theory. In practice, bipolar junction transistors can indeed conduct “backward,” though the resistance isn’t the same. There’s a preferred direction of flow, which is why there are PNP and NPN transistors. And trying to get current to flow the other way can destroy the transistor if you aren’t careful. (I’ve done this. The transistor physically blew apart with a loud “pop.”), Now, having said that, the bipolar junction transistor isn’t the only kind of transistor!, Different transistors have different properties. The MOSFET transistor conducts in either direction when current is supplied to the gate. (I use MOSFETs for motor control, a common application.) MOSFETs act as electrically signallable switches., There’s also a semiconductor called a triac, which like a MOSFET conducts either way but unlike a MOSFET latches on—even if you remove the signal to the gate, it will continue to conduct until the load it’s carrying is removed. It has a companion, the silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) or thyristor, which acts the same way but conducts in only one direction.

I say it from time to time, often impulsively. I don’t really think expletives are that bad, I just prefer to abstain from them because they tend to detract from other words I’m speaking., I also don’t like speaking profanities because it always results in one other person deciding that they should too. And nothing is more tacky than when someone swears unnecessarily. Cursing is an artform, that when perfected adds emphasis to your words, instead of detracting from their importance., by The Fixx..

QUESTION: Will oil shale ever be commercially viable? - ANSWER: One of the problems with converting deposits to fuel is that it takes energy to separate the fuel from the rock. As the price of oil rises so does the cost to separate. Oil shale is a desperate attempt at producing fuel as deposits decline. Part of the price is the destruction of the planet. Much like the deepwater disaster, if the true cost were included up front it would not be allowed.

QUESTION: How do I create an array of a specific size in Python? - ANSWER: Python doesn’t really have arrays in the sense you’re used to if you’re coming from a language like C or Java. Python has lists. Lists do not have a fixed length. You can always append or delete elements from them. They are more like Java’s ArrayList or C++’s Vector., So most people will just start with an empty list and append more stuff to it until it is the right length or has all the things you want. Or better, generate it with all the right stuff from the moment of creation using a list comprehension., right now. and you don’t yet have the data that you are going to put in that list, you could do:. But if you really need a list of a specific length , l=[0]*n, That’ll give you a list of n zeroes, and you can replace the zeroes with whatever you want later., Still, I would consider the latter a code smell, and I have a strong suspicion you are coming to Python from a very different sort of language and are imagining you need to go about this in a very unPythonic way.

QUESTION: How does Delta winding circulate third harmonics within? - ANSWER: , and . v_A. v_B. v_C. To see how this works, imagine a three-phase set of voltage sources . , . supplying three single-phase transformers each connected to identical single-phase non-linear loads as shown below:, , To make this simple, each non-linear load will only contain the 1st and 3rd harmonic components of current such that the primary side line currents will be, i_A(t)=I_1cos(\omega t)+I_3cos(3\omega t)\tag*{}, i_B(t)=I_1cos(\omega t -120^o)+I_3cos[3(\omega t - 120^o)]\tag*{}, i_C(t)=I_1cos(\omega t +120^o)+I_3cos[3(\omega t + 120^o)]\tag*{}, 3(-120^o)=3(+120^o)=360^o=0^o. . This results in. Note that the 3rd harmonic components in each equation are equal since , i_A(t)=I_1cos(\omega t)+I_3cos(3\omega t)\tag*{}, i_B(t)=I_1cos(\omega t -120^o)+I_3cos(3\omega t)\tag*{}, i_C(t)=I_1cos(\omega t +120^o)+I_3cos(3\omega t)\tag*{}, , Now, without changing the loads, we reconnect the transformers with a primary side DELTA connection:, , The primary currents . i_C. will remain the same since each transformer is still connected to the same set of terminals of the three-phase voltage sources.. i_A. , . and . i_B, Let’s take a look at the line current . What happens to the line current?. in phase-A. By summing the currents at the upper connection node, we can write. i_{AL}, i_{AL}=i_A-i_C=\sqrt{3}cos(\omega t - 30^o)\tag*{}, Note that the 3rd harmonic component of current is cancelled out in the summation and that the line current only contains the 1st harmonic (or fundamental) component of current. No 3rd harmonics flow in the line current!, Since the 3rd harmonic current in each phase is equal in magnitude and phase angle, it circulates in the DELTA connection as shown in RED. Hence, the delta connection forms a trap for 3rd harmonics in a balanced 3-phase system., It should be apparent from this example that perfect cancellation only occurs when each phase has equal magnitudes of 3rd harmonic current. If these magnitudes are not equal, then there will be a component of 3rd harmonic which flows in the line. If we take this to the extreme case and only connect one non-linear load, then all the 3rd harmonic would flow in the line and none would circulate in the DELTA.

QUESTION: Why is the BJP not granting the railway zone at Visakhapatnam? - ANSWER: Unfortunately the trend for a separate rly. zonal HQ for each state capital was started by the Andhras in the late 60s. We had just 8 zones managed by 8 GMs with just the required officers at different levels. Now we have 17 zones managed by 17 GMs by the equivalent no of HODs, Addl HODs etc. I have worked in the rlys. for 36 yrs. upto the level of GM, so I know what I am talking about. If someone is saying that more zones are required because the workload is increased, it is rubbish. The workload increases at the field level, not at the Zonal HQ level. One GM managed even 8 divisions, now there are zones with just 3 divisions. Pl. do not also believe that more zones means better operational efficiency. It actually leads to more conflicts between the zones in day to day operation. More zonal HQs mean the area of influence of politicians increases, because they are nearer the HQ. The MP from Vijayawada does not command the same weight at Bhubaneswar as he would at Vishakapatnam., So demand for more zones emanates only from politicians and not from the rlys. It is sheer waste of public money.

QUESTION: What is a tu quoque? - ANSWER: Ah, tu quoque. So common. So easy to do. And, like the Monty Hall Problem, the reason why it’s a fallacy is counter-intuitive., Here is a simple tu quoque:, Hey, are you eating a third bacon & cheeseburger? You know, you shouldn’t, they’re really fattening.. A: , But you eat eight bacon & cheeseburgers per day, and as a result, you’re morbidly obese and have had three heart attacks. So you can’t talk to me about that. Bingo! Ya burned!. B: , absolutely nothing to do with the fact. that three bacon & cheeseburgers really are fattening.. Here’s why B has committed a fallacy: the fact that A eats eight bacon & cheeseburgers per day has , A’s observation that B is eating unhealthily is absolutely correct. The fact that A also eats unhealthily doesn’t make A wrong., , you will say, . But. hypocrisy. !, hypocritical, sure, but still 100% true. B should not eat three bacon & cheeseburgers, any more than A should eat eight.. we reply, . Yes, , The hypocrisy could be said to lie in the act of A . that B is eating unhealthily. It’s irritating to B that A, of all people, should say this, but that still doesn’t make it untrue.. pointing out , , fallacy. It is of course obvious that the tu quoque fallacy is one of the central weapons in political discourse today, and people don’t call it out because the fact that tu quoque is a logical . has no purchase on people who are thinking not logically, but in terms of their tribal loyalties.
