What are the common mistakes students do while preparing for GATE? | Joining coaching for namesake.
Most of the viewers here could be serious about preparation but this was the mistake which I made. Most of us join coaching without proper research. Each coaching specialises in a particular subject depending on material or faculty. One must seek the right one depending on their subject rather than just following brand names.But this is not where I failed.
I joined a coaching with proper research and was even serious when it started. But with due course of time, I lost interest. As Friend circle grew we used to hangout at nearby market or go for movies after coaching. I became very casual with approach. But as the exam was approaching, deep inside I was worried and burdened by guilt for not being serious throughout tenure. This is not just my story, I have seen many other aspirants having similar traits.
Even my dad saw this shift in attitude and consoled me. They encouraged me to give my best shot and reassured me that they won't judge me whatsoever my score be. They made all efforts to remove performance pressure and it indeed was big relief.
In short, I had only 4 months left and did systematic preparation during this time and was able to crack GATE. I would also recommend others to follow this approach.
First I bought toppers note and previous year papers with solutions from an online site like Notes4u (I ordered from here you may refer others). This helped me build a perspective with which I should prepare, learned some tricks and got to know the pattern.
Than I re-attempted all my coaching material and marked different types of questions for revision.
Once that was done, I ordered question bank and mocks of other coachings. During this time also prepare for GK and join online forums and social media groups for more refence material.
Now this all may sound like an appoarch that is obvious but believe me very few are able to stick with it till end. This is may require lot of efforts but guarantees success.
Finally I would say don't adopt a casual approach and practise a lot but in right direction.

My 3-year-old insists on sleeping on the floor. Should I let him? | Just my amateur opinion.
I would make a pallet bed of a Yoga mat and two very thick quilts and let him sleep on it.
I dont think that a pallet bed would harm him. Kids do go camping and sleep on sleeping bags, dont they?

What does Galatians 2:21 mean? | Thus, if Paul had put himself back under the Mosaic Law, he would have made himself a “transgressor” again of that Law, subject to its condemnation, and would thereby have shoved aside the undeserved kindness of God that provided release from that condemnation.—[LINKED_TEXT: Ga 2:18-21;] [URL: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1200004132/114/0][LINKED_TEXT: compare 3:1-4,] [URL: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1200004132/114/1][LINKED_TEXT: 10] [URL: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1200004132/114/2].

Can AI computing break RSA encryption? | You can throw all the AI at it you want; even an AGI — we have yet to build an AGI, and it’s likely decades off, if ever — it’s not going to help.
RSA cryptography is based on large number theory.
This doesn’t change, if you throw more people/machines at the problem.

Is Bangladesh more powerful and prosperous than Pakistan? | After independence and fighting against the persecution of Pakistan, Bangladesh ahead still has at least two dozen international indicators.
As per the report of 2016, 16.4 percent of the population in Bangladesh is suffering from malnutrition, while 22 percent of Pakistan's population is malnourished.Bangladesh is in second place in ready-made garment exports.The foreign currency reserve of Bangladesh is more than $ 31 billion. But the Reserve of Pakistan is $ 23 billion.Meanwhile, before the independence, the economists of Pakistan told that freedom for Bangladesh would be suicidal due to the economy. The information changed after four decades of independence. Now, renowned economists from the world including Pakistan are saying, Bangladesh is the role model of the world in real economic success.In Bangladesh, the per capita storage rate is around 28 percent, whereas Pakistan's only 15 percent.At present, the average life expectancy of the people of Bangladesh has increased to 70 years, whereas the average life expectancy of people in Pakistan is 65 years.Bangladesh is in better position than Pakistan in preventing child mortality. Child mortality rate in the country (under age one year) is 37. But this rate is 59 in Pakistan.Bangladesh is much better in sanitation than in Pakistan. Now 56 percent of the families get proper Sanitation facility in the country. But in Pakistan, this rate is 48 percent.In the socio-economic index, Bangladesh has now become an important example for the ruling regime of Pakistan.In the end, I want to say that the power of the freedom fighters in Bangladesh is in power. Therefore Bangladesh is going forward. This continuation will continue insha Allah!

If any Creepypasta could be real, who would you want it to be (no fan girls)? | Honestly, I would love to be Ticci Toby. I kinda feel like him, you know? I know how it is like to be bullied because of weird twitches and stuff, but I myself was never diagnosed with Tourettes. I was just simply overdosed on medications for ADHD. It caused me to make severe twitches, I would make noises in the back of my throat, I would shout or cuss at random times. I wouldn’t eat either. I also know how it is to lose a loved one, but I have lost many. I also wish I never felt pain sometimes, but pain is what gets you through this slow, miserable life, isnt it?

Why do people vape? | Vaping has been gaining popularity over the last few years, and for good reason! I vape for a variety of reasons, but the main one is that it's a great alternative to smoking cigarettes. Vaping is a healthier choice than smoking because it doesn't produce the same amount of carcinogens, toxins, and other harmful chemicals that are found in cigarettes. Plus, you don't have to worry about secondhand smoke or lingering odors.
Another reason why I vape is that it's more cost-effective than smoking. You don't have to constantly buy packs of e-cigarettes, [LINKED_TEXT: e-juice liquid] [URL: https://vocal.media/stories/vapor-boss-collection-of-vape-juices-for-an-incredible-burst-of-fruity-flavors] and you can choose from a variety of [LINKED_TEXT: Vape e-juices online] [URL: https://vocal.media/stories/vapor-boss-collection-of-vape-juices-for-an-incredible-burst-of-fruity-flavors] and flavors to customize your experience. Plus, you can control the amount of nicotine you're taking in since there are options with no nicotine at all.
Finally, I like to vape because it's an enjoyable and social experience. You can hang out with friends while vaping, share tips and tricks, and even compete in vaping competitions. It's a great way to relax and have fun without putting your health at risk.
So those are my reasons for vaping! It's a great way to enjoy yourself without having to worry about the harmful effects of smoking cigarettes.

When will humans be technologically advanced enough to fight off an alien invasion? | That depends on the context and intention of the invaders. Now, the question asserts that the aliens are indeed invading; thus they are extraterrestrial in origin and have advanced spaceflight capabilities. If they are not from our solar system, they’ll probably possess warp drive capabilities, which means they’ve unlocked zero-point energy technology.
As for their intentions, what are they? Do they seek to merely pester us? Exploit? Subjugate? Utterly annihilate? What is their philosophy? Do they even view warfare the same way we do?
As much as the film sucked in many ways, I feel that Battle: Los Angeles was a great depiction of an alien invasion. The aliens came here for the water, and their warriors were war-hardened under-resourced cyborgs who obviously didn’t have the best access to everything, despite their civilization’s interstellar travel capabilities.
(The directors of the film even hinted that the aliens in the film were actually the losers of a war on their own violent homeworld, and that they were likely in space for a very long time, searching for a new home, hence their lack of resources and starved/worn appearance.)
Remember, every civilization is finite. In the effort to build 3–4 starships capable of warp drive, they may not have enough resources left over to equip all the troops with the best gear. Look at human history. Humans always error on the side of being too frugal, because resources are in short supply. I think other civilizations would do the same. Just because a civilization has unlocked zero-point energy and what not, that doesn’t mean they won’t still use old gear to fight.
It’s a quite interesting question. To be honest, if you want to take the alien invasion conspiracies seriously, it seems that the main issue that prevents aliens from taking over Earth has to do with various forces that we ourselves may not be aware of.
Think of it like this. We’re way greater than ants right? Okay, there’s a fire ant hill over there. Go destroy those ants. Uh…can I have some gloves first please? Maybe a blowtorch too? Some gas? So I can light them on fire? Maybe raid spray at least? I don’t wanna get bitten!
As humans, we’re very aware of our own vulnerabilities, and we automatically assume that the enemy will “fit right into the glove of our misfortune” and screw us right where it hurts. However, to them, they don’t wanna get bitten by us. So they’ll be careful. They’ll be sneaky.
I hope that helped. This is a really interesting question. I’d love to see more opinions.

Is Scottish whisky better than American whiskey? Why or why not? | You, my friend, have asked a question that has been debated for centuries. Some people like bourbon (American whiskey) while some like Scotch (Scottish whisky). I’ve tried both and I believe there’s nothing like a good, aged Single Malt Scotch - the flavour complexity and smoothness of it is never to be found in even good quality bourbon.

What is the best defence against ransomware? | Norton is the best ever. It's simple, effective, Website. Norton AntiVirus Software
[LINKED_TEXT: [1]] [URL: #gMnhN] is an anti-virus or anti-malware software product founded by Peter Norton, developed and distributed by Gen Digital since 1990[1] as part of its Norton family of computer security products. It uses signatures and heuristics to identify viruses. Other features included in it are e-mail spam filtering and phishing protection. Symantec distributes the product as a download, a box copy, and as OEM software.and Norton Internet Security, a related product, held a 61% US retail market share for security suites as of the first half of 2007. Competitors, in terms of market share in this study, include antivirus products from CA, Trend Micro, and Kaspersky Lab.
Norton AntiVirus runs on Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS. Windows 7 support was in development for versions 2006 through 2008. Version 2009 has Windows 7 supported update already. Versions 2010, 2011, and 2012 all natively support Windows 7, without needing an update. Version 12 is the only version fully compatible with Mac OS X Lion. With the 2015 series of products, Symantec made changes in its portfolio and briefly discontinued Norton AntiVirus.[3] This action was later reversed with the introduction of Norton AntiVirus Basic.

What do Australians and New Zealanders dislike about one another? | We love to take the piss out of each other but we are staunch allies. We are ANZAC's and fiercely proud of that tradition.
|
Why does this generation have a lot of depressed people? | The period we're living in is so fast paced and technological, that we are more distracted than ever.
Our minds are racing faster, meaning we're overthinking, which is causing overwhelm and leading to stress, anxiety and depression.
It is just the current state of mind (or consciousness) of society. And can change incredibly fast with greater awareness, insight and education on who we are and how we work.
We're only one thought away from wellbeing. Everyone in the world is sitting in the middle of mental health, but they just don't know it.

Which do you prefer, dubbed movies or subtitled movies? | Subtitled! We love movies and series from Norway, Finland, Denmark and Sweden. No punches pulled. The natural flow would be ruined with funky dubbed English. We may never learn these languages, but it feels better to hear the real actors’ voices and then watch the action. Our favorite, which we watch again and again is the Norwegian produced “Headhunters.” OMG, a classic. Would be ruined if dubbed.

Was Temple of the Dog established before Pearl Jam? | Yes. Temple of the Dog formed in 1990 with the goal of a one-off album to pay tribute to Andy Wood, who was the singer of Mother Love Bone and Malfunkshun. Andy died in March of 1990 well before the formation of Pearl Jam as Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard were still in Mother Love Bone. Likewise, Chris Cornell and Andy were roommates, hence the Soundgarden connection.
Temple of the Dog consisted of Jeff, Stone, Chris, Mike McCready, and drummer Matt Cameron with some help on a few tracks from Eddie Vedder. All songs on their eponymous and only album were written by Chris Cornell with a few that were co-written by Jeff and Stone.

What program do photographers use to edit photos? | I can mention multiple professional picture editing software you'll love to learn about. Software like Pixelied, Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paintroom, Skylium Luminar, GIMP, etc are arguably the very best to use in 2021 and comes with ease to design or edit photos.
It doesn't matter whether you're a casual smartphone geek or a professional using an SLR, these photo editing tools will definitely get the most out of your images and give you a great level of satisfaction with great designs. We help you find the best photo editing software for your needs
To assist you further to make the best choice, I'll go in depth to talk about 6 of these tools which I feel would go a long way in helping you get a quick solution for any photo editing or design challenges you're having at the moment.
[LINKED_TEXT: PIXELIED] [URL: https://pixelied.com/]
For photo editing and any sort of graphic design. It's the ease of use and features has made it a fast-growing graphic design tool in 2021 when compared to its closest competitors.
I really love the fact that Pixelied is very easy to use, and lets you design graphics and illustrations as fast as you can with their design platform. Every feature that any photo editor or graphic designer would expect to see on any platform is there, including:
AlignmentIcons and IllustratorColor PalettesRoyalty free stock imagesResize CanvasDrop shadowsAutomatic Grid snappingLayering
Unlike some platforms, you can access every feature within Pixelied in just a few clicks and it doesn't require the user being very skilled in designing to start using it.
With just $9.95, you can access their pro version which gives you access to a lot more mouthwatering features like the background remover, mockups, and Priority support just to mention a few.
[LINKED_TEXT: PAINT NET] [URL: http://www.getpaint.net/]
Paint Net is great design and edit tool mainly as a professional photo editor allowing its users to perform not only basic picture retouching and color modification and correction but also create logos and banners. In addition, PaintNET as the name implies has many tools for painting.
You can use layers and a large selection of tools, but their functions are not as detailed as you might want. Their photo enhancer reminds me of the earlier versions of Photoshop where the interface was very simple.
PaintNet is quite easy and convenient to use with free access to online consulting and "how-to videos" to guide you while understanding the tool. It is Free.
[LINKED_TEXT: PHOTOWORKS] [URL: https://photo-works.net/]
PhotoWorks is quite expensive but is worth every single penny they charge. It provides a a really powerful and easy-to-learn photo editor suitable for any point at which you are using their tool.
Photoworks has three versions: Standard, Deluxe and PRO. The choice depends on how complex your work is.
Some Pros using their tool are:
Portrait retouching on PC with a top-grade toolsetAbility to create magnificent landscapes within secondsNumerous one-click effectsCaptions & Watermarks
[LINKED_TEXT: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP] [URL: https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html]
Best known as Photoshop is arguable the most used and reliable photo editing software.
It is easily the first tool any image editor or designer is expected to have and is most widely preferred by professional photographers and designers. It has all the necessary tools for
Image retouchingColor correctionImage restorationDesignDigital drawing
Basically, must doesn't have to be spoken about Adobe Photoshop as the product remains a standard for many alternative photo programs.
GIMP
GIMP is very powerful when it comes to free photo editors that can easily replace Photoshop. One of the main advantages, except the few I'll mention below is that the program supports RAW files. Others are:
Ability to change functionalityPacked with features and toolsWorks with different file typesUser-friendly interface
As an open-source software you can change the program yourself, fix various bugs and errors that you noticed, as well as add your own tools.
It has layers, customizable brushes, filters and automatic actions to improve an image quality faster.
[LINKED_TEXT: PIXLR] [URL: https://pixlr.com/]
Also likened to Adobe Photoshop, Pixlr Pro has a number of advantages that any designer would want to take advantage of as it almost does not differ from Photoshop when it comes to their tools.
Pixlr is a good choice for beginner retouchers, as you get two absolutely free photo editors to do all the necessary actions.
Conclusion
Since you didn't specify what features that are important to you, I'd suggest you use [LINKED_TEXT: Pixelied] [URL: https://pixelied.com/] if you need a simple editor which is easy to use that you make quick edits for free.
I hope this provides a good answer to your question.

What is the difference between a SATA SSD and nVMe) M2 SSD? Both have similar speeds yet the M2 type is way more expensive. | “Similar” speeds isn’t exactly correct. There’s an issue with M.2 in that it allows for 2 different types of connection. Both the regular SATA connection as well as a PCIe connection. Just the fact that a SSD is connected by M.2 port doesn’t mean it isn’t a SATA based SSD.
Then why have M.2 for SATA anyway? Well, the M.2 port (and its associated form factor) means the drive itself can be both smaller and placed direct onto the motherboard. This is a huge space saving and a complete removal of any cables or ribbons. Ideal for things like laptops. So even just that means a manufacturer starts charging a “premium” for the smaller form factor (rightly or wrongly - they’d still do so in order to make more profit, if competition doesn’t keep them from doing so).
From a cost perspective, after the R+D has been recouped, the cost of making a card fitting into a M.2 slot “should” be less than building a casing for a 2.5″ (or even 3.5″) SSD to be plugged into a SATA port with a cable. Thus you may expect thm to become cheaper, but my guess is the manufacturers are riding the “this is new” train and keeping sell prices higher than needed.
But what if the SSD is actually using that PCIe connection you mentioned?
Well, here’s another problem. That PCIe connector has a larger limit than the old SATA could handle. The major difference is in the throughput. The most common SATA in computers is SATA III, which can handle up to 6gbit/sec (around 600Mbytes/sec). But the most common PCIe over M.2 is a PCIe version 3.0 running 4 lanes concurrently - this gives around 40Gbit/sec maximum throughput and can get to around 4Gbytes/sec - that’s close to 7 times more data in the same time.
Also PCIe (and in particular the protocol used over it - NVMe instead of the usual AHCI over SATA) allows shorter latency. When looking for a measurement on this it’s usually listed as Input-Output-Operations-per-Second (IOPS for short). I.e. the figures listed is the opposite of how latency is measured, instead of listing how long each operation takes, it lists how many of them can occur in a second. On AHCI some SSDs get up to 100000 IOPS (translating to around 10 micro seconds per operation 1sec/100000IOPS = 0.00001sec = 0.01ms = 10us. But some NMVe based SSDs (like Samsung’s 960 pro) can get to 400000IOPS - meaning it’s around 4 times quicker from starting a read to getting the first bit of data.
However - this doesn’t necessarily mean that NVMe SSDs on a M.2-PCIe connector gives those speeds and latency. The drive itself has its own limits. Those are just the best possible over those connections. E.g. you may find some high end stuff able to get to 4GByte/s transfer speeds and 400000IOPS, but then you also get some only doing 1.5GByte/s and 200000IOPS.
<Off Topic>BTW, this is the major reason HDDs “feel” so slow. E.g. a typical 7200rpm HDD has IOPS of between 75 and 100, meaning it’s around 1000 times slower to responds to read/write requests than a good SSD on that exact same connector. Added to this that a HDD has a maximum transfer speed of 60 to 150 MByte/sec as opposed to SATA based SSDs getting between 200 to 600 MBytes/sec - there’s a huge difference. The difference between SATA-SSD and PCIe-SSD isn’t as great, even though it still is there.<Back on Topic>
Note though, it’s highly unlikely that a SSD designed for NVMe and PCIe is at the SATA+AHCI limits. They’re usually (if not always) slightly better. At least around twice as good. But the actual experience between these is likely very minimal. On the latency front, there’s diminishing returns - a 100000IOPS isn’t going to feel 4 times slower than a 400000IOPS drive. That’s because nearly nothing in a computer needs to read or write so many different things in just one second. Also this is starting to get to the limits of the CPU and RAM, i.e. there are other parts of the computer interfering with this maximum rate of operations.
One part you just might find to feel faster is the transfer speeds. Copying a large file across from one drive to another can make use of the higher transfer speeds of PCIe. E.g. copying a 50GB file from one SATA SSD getting 600MB/s to another similar can be done in a minimum of around 90 seconds. But doing so between two NVMe+PCIe SSDs able to do read/write at 4GByte/s means it would only take around 15 seconds.
Manufacturers do have to produce better types of SSDs to reach those maximum throughput and latencies the NVMe+PCIe connection can afford them. Thus cost does go up, and translates to higher sell pricing. Over and above the “this is new” marketing hype to push prices further.
My big gripe with this is: How many times a day do you copy a 50GB file? How much impact does this transfer speed gain really make your computing feel faster? This is why the latency aspect is of so much greater importance. Booting up, starting a program, etc. All those tends to have many small reads / writes going on all over on several different files - meaning the latency has a much greater influence over how quickly the entire task completes. And why it feels so slow on HDDs while it feels near instantaneous on SSDs. But since the latency on these never NVMe SSDs is only minimally faster, and it has some diminishing returns, there’s not a great reason to go for them in general - only really useful if you’ve got some specific need to constantly do huge transfers.
So is a PCIe NVMe SSD really worth it? Perhaps not for every one. Most people would only derive a small benefit from it. So IMO they’re overkill, and just paying more for no “real” benefit.
What about M.2 SATA then? Here it’s a case of needing less space. Thus for things like laptops, AiOs, set tops, minimalist PCs, etc., it really does provide some benefit. It could mean that laptop can be built thinner and lighter. Who doesn’t prefer a thin light thing to crry around as opposed to a thick bulky beast? So perhaps a “slight” premium for these may be justifiable - at least in the short term, even though it may not exactly be backed by a true cost increase and just a way of making extra profit.
For computers such as desktops, it’s not really much of a benefit at all. A 2.5″ SSD isn’t going to take up that much space in a desktop, normally. It could help with cable management, and might free up some space to use for something else - e.g. better cooling systems. But it’s not as great a benefit as it was for those minimal space sort of computers.

What are some plastic surgery masterpieces? | Kate Winslet Claims Plastic Surgery ‘Goes Against All’ Of Her ‘Morals’
Kate Winslet, who is proud of her natural curves, has said that she would never succumb to pressure from Hollywood to have plastic surgery.
The lovely Oscar-winning actress told the Telegraph, “It goes against my morals, the way that my parents brought me to and what I consider to be natural beauty, the stunning. I will never give in.”
Winslet also has some practical reservations about the value of the procedures, even if she doesn’t support cosmetic surgery for moral grounds. “I am an actress, I don’t want to freeze the expression of my face,” Winslet said.
Winslet isn’t the only Brit speaking out against going under the knife. Emma Thompson and Rachel Weisz two more Oscar-winning actresses, are against cosmetic surgery as well.
According to reports in the U.K. media, Thompson said, “”We’re in this awful youth-driven thing now where everybody needs to look 30 at 60. I’m not fiddling about with myself.”

Why don't elite soldiers and Navy SEALs have physiques like Dwayne Johnson or Vin Diesel? | The muscel mass hinders mobility. Being more on the lean size allows for more mobility, flexibility and also cardio-respiratory endurance as well. Think about it, more mass requires more energy, i.e., lungs, heart, etc. In addition, it is detrimental on joints over time as well. Now say you are a mortar man where distance is limited and strength is required for job specific duties, this works well in that environment.

As a proud Texan, I believe that for profit healthcare is the best system, it allows maximum profit for shareholders and companies. Why do folks in Europe, Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand think that they are entitled to free healthcare? | When you hire someone to paint your dairy farm, Karen, would you rather the painter make a hefty profit or that they do a good job painting your barn?
Generally when people go in for medical service, they want good service. Not the knowledge that their insurance carrier is number one in providing shareholder returns.
Healthcare is about making people healthy.
Stick to cows, because only morons believe that Universal healthcare is “free”.

How difficult was it for you to find your life purpose? | Finding your life’s purpose is not like losing your car keys. It happens at different times So people and sadly enough some never find it. Some find it young. Some find it later in life, and some find it but don’t do anything about it.
I found mine, and I’m 55. Now I have to expand it and help people. So I’m still in the learning process of my life purpose. You ask how did someone find there life purpose.
I just one day felt I’m not here on this rock circling a fire ball. I know I need to be someone and not to just exist. That’s when I guess God or the universe decided to show me. I started to see and feel things that I never felt before. This how it all started about 5 years ago.
So now I know what I have to do. You are one of the reasons for my purpose. I hope this helped a little. But don’t search for you purpose. It’s like losing your car keys. You go crazy looking for them. But the moment you stop and do something else “BAM” you find them. Enjoy….

I’m doing some restoration work on an old barn. The barn used to be red colored. Is there a specific barn red color that was used in the early 1900s? Why did they use red anyway? | Initially they didn’t paint the barns at all. And the wood deteriorated.
However, farmers didn’t have a lot of money for paint, but if they had cows, they had milk. So they could use a mixture of skimmed milk, lime, and iron oxide. Iron oxide has the advantage of being a fungicide, and if you have a wooden building that’s going to be subject to rain and snow and moisture, you’re definitely going to get mildew and fungus.
And since iron oxide is rust, when that mix dried, it was a kind of reddish color.
Eventually farmers found out that adding a little linseed oil made it even better, forming a plastic-like coating that lasted for a long time, which is why you still see some old red barns today.
Milk was actually a common component in paint. The casein from milk acts as a binder in paint and people have been using it for that purpose for centuries. In the late 1700s, early 1800s, they figured out that adding finely ground chalk and a few other compounds produced a cheap and durable paint. Other recipes used other ingredients, such as one that used water, rye flour, linseed oil and tailings from copper mines.

Will Arvind Kejriwal win the Delhi election again by giving freebies to the public? | Freebies culture is started from Tamil nadu, and this virus is spread out to the politicians who don't believe in their own performance.
Free electricity, Free water, buildings sewrage, roads, medical facilities, providing free pilgrimage for senior citizens,
I feel pity on the Delh residents. You want to mean rest of the states in India are not hygienic conscious, rest of the Indians state lack education, rest of the Indians state don't owe proper infrastructure facilities.
There is contradictory statement either Delhi is filled with debt ridden peoples, under poverty is much, education is establishing, people are innocent, don't cheat and claim their income disclosure sincerely.
Illegal colonies, encroachment are very less compared to other states of India.
Now building of roads, sewage pipes, schools, Medicines and medical facilities provided by AK. I feel only Delhi is having proper roads, education, health facilities which rest of Indian state don't provide.
Let me draw it's government and local bodies responsibilities to provide water, electricity, communication, Infrastructure development, Medical facilities, food, shelter.
AK doing to the society of Delhi should not be considered as grace. When he is given authority he need to see his Delhi people don't suffer.
Today I was traveling in train, I came across group of young labour's who are into Painting skills. I was guessing what would be his income daily Rs 750 to 850 or even less. He was chewing Gutka, smoking Cigarette, eating Nonveg, Drinking Rs 20 water bottle. + holding Alcohol in Pepsi bottles hidden in the bags.
People are making merry with the ambit limit of income which may give him hardly savings. This is the common man.
When free is given, people like to enjoy, but what is their contribution to the state where they live? Hide income, pay less tax, keep crying for the wants.
AK freebies is questioned because till August 2019 deficit was appx 450 to 490 crores, by the time January 2020 reaches deficit on treasury is seen hiked for Rs 60000 crores. Thousands fold increase before he was approaching election.
Imam and Masjid staffs salary hike announced Rs 12000 and Rs 18000 just before elections.
Mohalla cleaning and clinic, free medicine, subsidised food are government responsibilities. Why he is taking credit claim on it?
Municipal school were renovated, CCTV camera now a days every state government is doing, why he is claiming credit?
Free water, electricity free pilgrimage for senior citizens does not solve common man problems.
It's said that increase in the taxes could be seen, approaching vendors, trader to contribute to the taxes was convinced by AK. Why trader need convinced? It is his responsibility to ensure he pays the tax. If convinced word take us to negotiating transactions between AK and Trader.
AK criticised Congress for bad governance and corruption charges later he extended his hands with Congress to fight against BjP, where does ethical value and ideology of AAP stand? Its shaken. He was taking active part in Mahaghatbhandan.
Most loyalist Prashant Bhushan, Kumar Vishwas, Kapil mishra Guggan Singh and others were sidelined by AAP leaders.
Blaming Dy governor Lt col, Modi does not solve the problem of common man. Why his leader are with Saheen baug and what is his stand? is still not clear
Clean governance should be for all five years, not in last 6 to 8 months of tenure.

What are the worst things about corporate culture? | The Problem: Perhaps the most concerning sign of a bad company culture is a lack of company core values. These are the driving force of an organization — not having core values means your culture is likely to progress without any sense of direction. Unwanted subcultures will form and undermine your business's success. I dislike the authoritative leadership they have in place. Look, I have many good ideas, and I tried to move them forward, trying to help the company. ... But I am getting older, and I believe that I should have a better job at the moment, perhaps a role of a financial manager, or leader of a team of accounts.

How woefully unprepared are we for dangerous asteroids hitting the Earth? | I actually beg to differ from what seems to be the general consensus here.
We’ve been doing at least a fair job of finding and tracking anything large enough to be considered catastrophic. While it’s completely true that we have somewhere right around .01% of a “Global Defense” in place, I personally find that to be a little deceiving, after all…we are tracking them!
There’s also precedent to contend with. Throughout our history there are many times that can be used as perfect examples of Mankind rising to the challenge.
Example: In no way whatsoever was the United States “prepared “ for WWII, and in fact, chose to “stay out of it”. Then the Japanese happened. Now I’m sure at least some of you have heard the term “awoken the sleeping giant”. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, that is precisely what happened.
In 1940, our armed forces weren't among the twelve most formidable in the world, but obviously we were going into a big war. And Roosevelt said the U.S. would produce 50,000 airplanes in the next four years. Everyone thought it was a joke. And it was, because it turned out we produced 100,000 airplanes. Gave the air force an armada that would block the sun. (Aaron Sorkin)
After 9/11: “People brought their skill to Ground Zero, to help and do what they could, We all came from different parts of the country with different skills, but we all had one mission. And, when you left at night, people were standing out on the corners at 11:30 at night, talking to each other and feeling the effects of what happened to our country.
“It was a patchwork of Americans coming together when needed to help repair something that was broken.
“I think it changed everyone.” (Sheriff Thomas Hodgson was in Washington, D.C.)
July, 20th, 1969, Moon Landing: In the United States, 94% of people watching television were tuned into the event. When Kennedy first announced we were going to the Moon we literally didn’t know anything.
The point is, when the “chips are down” people have a tendency to come together. If we, as a species were facing possible extinction level event, and had enough time to do something about it…we would. (Whether or not we would be successful or not is a differnt matter)

Something like that would not have been forgotten. It would have been recorded in our history books. A claim like that underminea Menzies's position.

What is a proxy, and how can I use one? | 1.A [LINKED_TEXT: proxy server] [URL: https://www.roxlabs.io/] provides a gateway between users and the Internet. It is a server, called a "mediator" because it runs between end users and the web pages they visit online.
2. When a computer connects to the Internet, it uses an IP address. This is similar to the street address of your home, telling the incoming data where to go, and using the return address marker to send out data for other devices to authenticate. A proxy server is essentially a computer on the Internet with its own IP address.
Agents provide a valuable layer of security for your computer. They can be set up as a network filter or firewall to protect your computer from Internet threats such as malware.
How does it work?
1.Use a proxy server to send requests from users, which are received by a load-balanced super proxy server, which forwards the requests to the correct egress node. These exit nodes take the form of different IP types and then send requests from the selected IP to the destination site.
2. Sharing IP allows you to maximize value while minimizing costs. An example of this is collecting data from sites that have request restriction blocks. Request blocking is a common security feature that sites implement to detect and flag suspicious activity, such as too many requests coming from the same IP address too fast. This is usually used to prevent bots from crawling websites. These blocks can be avoided by changing the IP every X requests. By switching IP addresses, you can avoid being tagged, maintain a high success rate and ensure continuous data collection.
If you need multiple different proxy IP, we recommend using RoxLabs proxy：[LINKED_TEXT: www.roxlabs.io] [URL: https://www.roxlabs.io/]

Do soldiers pick up fallen enemy weapons to use if they are out of ammo on their weapons? | During the Iraq invasion, a Marine named Marco Martinez was awarded the Navy Cross by General Mattis for his actions outside of Baghdad. They were tasked to support SOCOM forces in the recovery of PFC Lynch. En route, they were attacked by a larger force, here is the citation:
Citation:For extraordinary heroism while serving as 1st Fire Team Leader, 2nd Squad, 1st Platoon, Company G, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM on 12 April 2003. Responding to a call to reinforce his Platoon that was ambushed, Corporal Martinez effectively deployed his team under fire in supporting positions for a squad assault. After his squad leader was wounded, he took control and led the assault through a tree line where the ambush originated. As his squad advanced to secure successive enemy positions, it received sustained small arms fire from a nearby building. Enduring intense enemy fire and without regard for his own personal safety, Corporal Martinez launched a captured enemy rocket propelled grenade into the building temporarily silencing the enemy and allowing a wounded Marine to be evacuated and receive medical treatment. After receiving additional fire, he single-handedly assaulted the building and killed four enemy soldiers with a grenade and his rifle. By his outstanding display of decisive leadership, unlimited courage in the face of heavy enemy fire, and utmost devotion to duty, Corporal Martinez reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.
I remember that day as a pretty wild one when we were in a suburb now called Saader City(formerly Sadam City) in northern Baghdad. 2/5 regrouped in Baghdad University and we later recieved the guys from G Co. I remember seeing Martinez still high from the adrenaline talking to a buddy of mine (they were both from El Paso) and describing how he had just killed about 10 soldiers by himself……that was an interesting day to say the least.
To answer the question, sometimes, Marines/Soldiers will use whatever is available at the moment to get the job done. Martinez almost got shot while he realized that the RPG launcher not only had a safety, but several and he did not really know how to use it….
I was with 2nd Bn 5th Marines B Command when this event went down.

My therapist told me that I have to form a healthy relationship with myself before I can love others in a healthy manner? How does someone who grew up in a dysfunctional family supposed to magically treat themselves with love and respect? | Your therapist is right. Growing up amidst dysfunction isn’t fair. You got gypped right? If those who were supposed to treat you with love and trust, teaching you the good from the bad and protecting you from all things negative didn’t do their job, then take upon yourself to finish the job. You didn’t ask for any of that, it was the hand you were dealt. Sometimes in life that stuff happens and you have two choices, sink or swim. Don’t sink. Accept the crap you were dealt and start right now, today, to self soothe, to treat yourself, to be kind to yourself and know that you have it inside of you to change this outcome. Stay in therapy, she is on the right track but the work is on you. Look in the mirror and tell yourself you deserve all things good in life including good people surrounding you.

Why does cancer relapse? | Once you are diagnosed with cancer, you are never “cured” of it. It is nearly impossible to remove all cancer cells. It can always return. Out of at least 35 trillion cells in the human body, it only takes one cancer cell or a few to start all over again. The most doctors can do is try and get the patient in remission, but the cancer can always come back.

What do teenagers wish adults understood? | Excuse me while I go hyperventilate and chant “I don’t want to breathe” after you tell me you don’t love me anymore.
I’m probably going to say the same things as everyone else, but I really want to speak because I was reading some of these answers on the verge of tears. I want my mother to look and see and realise what the heck she’s doing wrong because I’m really trying.
Which comes to my first point.
WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO BE A PERFECT CHILD. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT.
We are not some machine you can code and program. We may not follow every instruction you give us. We love you so much, and we really do want to make you proud, but we can’t do that if all you do is point out everything we do wrong. WE ARE TRYING! We are not perfect, we are human beings, just like you. Also on this, I hate the “practice makes perfect” saying. ‘, no practice does NOT make perfect. It helps a bunch sure, but not perfection. When I was in primary school, my year one teacher told me instead “practice make progress”, and I totally agree.
We are not perfect.
2. If you restrict things from me now, when you give it to me I’ll abuse it because it’s like my last chance. Just like drugs.
Okay I’ve got to admit. This was kinda my fault, but at the same time not? I didn’t pay attention sometimes in Kumon (like I talked to a friend or something) which meant I regularly made mistakes and didn’t go forward. My mother responded by telling me I was an idiot and taking away things from me. I responded by cheating (yes i know idiot me but I was 10 I’m trying) and when she found out she was furious and called me a ‘bloody mistake’ and punched or slapped me. She took away things and when she gave them back, I would always abuse it by sneaking it in my room at night or what not. I was addicted, but you know what actually made me addicted? You taking it away. That’s right parents, taking away a device DOES NOT make the child learn. HECK! I tried to disguise one phone so that I could watch ASMR so I COULD SLEEP AT NIGHT (yeah we’re not all just staying up until 5am watching things, I do like my sleep thanks) and when i she found out and took it away, I did with my computer, when she took that away I took another spare phone my grandmother gave me, and when she found that guess what else I did?! I BOUGHT MYSELF A PHONE. And since she also found that OUT! GUESS WHAT?! My friend is giving me HIS SECOND-HAND PHONE BECAUSE I PAID HIM.
We are going to constantly try and find new options, so you might as well just give it to us, let us LEARN the damn consequences, anD THEN GUESS WHAT!
WE ACTUALLY LEARN.
Now don’t get me wrong, understandably some of us are actually addicted to the internet. Understood, but we are normally mature enough to see the results of staying up late and not working on homework. We do want to get good grades, so understand that we get it. If we don’t, just nudge us. Sit down and have a good talk with us. I have cried too many times during a heartfelt lecture and I really DO try afterwards. There is no need to take away anything. It’s useless honestly.
3. “Respect your elders.” I will only respect you if you respect me.
I understand this saying very well, and a lot of times I go by it. But DO NOT TELL ME that if an old woman decided to degrade you on your passions, your opinions and your life, you’d still be all nice and say “Yes, I understand. You’re right because you’ve lived longer.” I bet you’d probably tell her off and call her an asshole.
Parents, this is the same for us. We will respect you. We will, but you need to show US respect first. Don’t tell me that crap of “You should be grateful I MADE YOU” when you literally did the same TO YOUR OWN PARENTS. That’s so hypocritical. Yes, I am grateful you kept me and gave birth to me. I am eternally in debt, but just because of that, I am treated like you picked and chose my personality traits. If I am not obedient, there’s probably a reason why. I will help out if you ask nicely. If I do not, I must be doing something, like texting a friend or watching a video. We have a life too. We just came from school/tuition/whatever and just want to relax.
We have stresses just like you.
4. Don’t tell me how I should look like.
I’ve become horribly insecure of myself because of my mom. She told me I should eat less because at the time of my growth spurt, I ate a bunch. So I did. I started getting diets and now I’m underweight by about 5 kilos. Thankfully not much, but I actually want to get to 43 kilos, which is 10 kilos underweight. Unhealthy I know, but I want it badly. She also points out my acne and buys me skincare products when at first I didn’t care. Now I buy every skin care product out there and she’s complaining because sometimes I ask her to buy it for me.
I’m not the prettiest girl. I know. But please don’t attack my flaws. I don’t tell you that you look like the grouch made out with acne scarred teenager and made you did I?
5. It’s my house, so my rules/things.
I kinda get the my things bit. You did buy it. But you gave it to me, so it is mine. Technically. It’s like giving a friend an item. You can’t just go to their house one day and take it back. You gave it to them. It is now theirs. Same applies to the things you give your children. You gave them a device for their birthday. That does not give you the right to throw it away if they misuse it. Yes, that happened to me. What’s even worse, my parents didn’t pay for it. My grandparents did. It was a cute walkman. I loved it. I still keep its cap for keepsakes. I had bunches of songs on it and I made my on radio show on it, it was truly a treasure. But I had trouble sleeping sometimes and I used the music as bg noise so I could sleep. My mom thought this kept me up at night, so she made me throw it away. I was crying and sobbing and trying so hard to keep it, but she grabbed it from me and crushed it under her foot. I was heartbroken. And the worst thing? I had even more problems sleeping than before. She then blamed the journals I kept under my bed. Sure I stayed up until 11pm writing a journal entry/story/song idea/rant, but isn’t that better than me staying up with my 3DS or phone watching youtube? She threw out countless journals, diary entries which I really treasured and now miss horribly. I think she’s realised and doesn’t do it anymore, but she threatens to and I utterly hate her for it.
Now for the my rules bit. Yes. This is your house. You paid your good, hard-earned money for it. Okay cool, understood. I will not trash the house. However, I will not become the perfect child BECAUSE you put a roof on my head. It doesn’t work like that. I wish parents would understand this concept.
6. We have opinions we feel strongly about. If we are passionate about it, do not call us “obsessed”. You may not get it, but that thing/person/whatever is important to us. We want you to understand.
So I love the kpop band BTS. wow I’m such a stereotypical teen. I’m not gonna go on why I like them because i’ll be saying the same thing as everyone else, so I’ll just say what I want the parents to understand. I love BTS with a passion, they made me feel good with their music. They are idols I look up to. My mother teased me about them, told them they looked girly, told me their music sucks, asked me “why are they saying n**** so much? This is such bad music!” (It was actually the word naega, which in korean, means I. Nothing derogatory). I got mad at her ONCE and snapped at her, which made her angry and ask if they would get me out of jail or if I would beat everyone who decided to diss BTS. Now let me get something straight. If you KNOW someone likes something, you NORMALLY do not diss the thing they like IN FRONT OF THEIR FACE. You can say criticism or your opinions, but do not blatantly judge them in front of us when you haven’t even delved into it yourself. I talked to my mother about it and now she understands, she even likes some music, but some parents really hurt their kids by dismissing their idols, passions or things they love.
They are trying to connect with you and share with you, don’t push them away.
7. Just because “you’re not as bad as grandma” doesn’t mean you’re not bad.
So you had it worst than me. So you had it worst and did even better. Ooookay… But I’m not you. You realise that right?
My grandmother wasn’t a nice person, period. She beat my mother for no reason, made her study under annoying conditions (watching tv while she worked, making noise, etc) and was just horrible. My mother is definitely MUCH better than she was, but she still has a long way to go in being a good parent. Not saying I know what to do as a parent, heavens no, but I do feel like there are things she needs to realise that works, and things that doesn’t work.
I also constantly hate it when they compare their older life to yours. “back in my day” excuse me but it’s not 1980s. I am not in the age where digital things were not invented yet. We are a generation that is trying to make life easier by using technology. Also, things that were not proper in your day, is now accepted today. Homosexuals are now proudly flaunting themselves, girls and boys are having playdates, gosh just LIVE IN THE PRESENT.
I’ll add more when I can think of them, but I would like to say something at the end here. I did not write this to talk bad of my parents. I love my parents dearly. I was actually supposed to be aborted, but my mother saved me (whether of her own choice or my grandparent’s I’m not sure, but I’m grateful anyway). My step-dad gave me a wonderful life and education and I really am in debt. But they struggle to realise that sometimes what they try to instil in me by taking away things, degrading me, etc, doesn’t work. They were brought up in the asian culture, and I understand, but if you want your child to be better, wouldn’t you learn from your parents’ mistakes?

How do I get my neighbor to accept the survey staking of our shared property line that is in dispute? He won’t trust it because I paid for it and he thinks the surveyors are wrong. | As a Professional Surveyor myself, I won’t risk my license by “rigging” a survey and I’m fairly sure no other Surveyors will either. If your neighbor doesn’t trust your Surveyor, simply tell him to hire a Surveyor himself whom he trust. If the surveys don’t agree, the two Surveyors will either work together and figure out why or a judge will do it for them. If they both agree, then your neighbor just paid for assurance and now he is happy.

Does Lisbon have a good airport? | Yes, but it needs to be relocated. And fast. It is close to a bursting point. Last year 27 million passengers passed through the airport. That is A LOT for a city with under a million inhabitants. Just compare to Madrid. 50 million, but serving a city 5 times bigger. It is great for people arriving since the airport is in the city, I mean literally IN the city. You can clearly see what people store in their balconies when you look out the window on a plane approaching the landing strip. Some ten years ago I worked at an office on Avenida Brasil ( a busy avenue in Lisbon, just opposite the airport) and from my office desk looking out the window I could count the bolts under the belly of the planes!
The discussion about building a new airport outside the city, in the beginning for safety reasons, is old and if it hadn’t been for the Eurocrisis, we’d already have one operating in Ota (50 km north of Lisbon) or in Alcochete or Montijo, south of the river.
A final decision will be made for what will be a supporting airport, with a capacity for 8 million passengers, located In Montijo, where the airforce currently have a base. The Lisbon Airport will still be operating as the main hub and it is scheduled to open in 2022.

Why did India play badly in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022 on 10/11/2022? Who's fault, selector, captain, or coach? | In a T20 innings, there are 3 sessions to be precise.
Overs 1 to 6 - Powerplay
Overs 7 to 15 - Middle Phase
Over 16 to 20 - Final Phase
For a team to put up a competitive total, they need to win a majority of the sessions while batting and bowling.
Throughout the tournament, our opening batters have done a miserable job. Our opening bowlers have been effective, Arshdeep especially.
Our middle order batting looked rock solid except the game against South Africa. Our bowlers took a lot of beating in the middle overs.
Our batting finishers were below average. Since Virat and Surya ran the show for the major part of the tournament we didn't really feel the need for our finishers. When it came to bowling we were not at all effective in the final phase of our matches.
With so many loopholes you can't win a World Cup. One needs to take accountability for the position they are in. Every time it can't be Hardik or Kohli.
Look at Pakistan. For them, bowling is their strength. They haven't allowed any teams to score more than 158 in their matches. In fact, most opponents barring NZ and India have only managed to score around 135 in 20 overs.
If we take pride in saying that batting is our strength it should reflect that way. Our achievement has been registering a total of 175 plus against associate teams. If we are such a batting-heavy unit, why haven't we posted totals over 200? We are paper tigers.
Rohit Sharma is a gifted player. He can time the ball better than Virat and many others. Honestly, he doesn't need to try too hard. But his execution and fitness levels are worse than a teenager. We are no longer in the era of 90s where Ranatungas and Inzamams were given an extended run with their pot bellies. This guy doesn't deserve to be on the team, not for his caliber but for his low fitness levels.
There was a time when his hook shots used to be a treat to watch. Look at yesterday’s match. He was not even able to keep his balance after hitting two back-to-back boundaries.
On the other side, look at Hardik Pandya. I'm amazed to see the level of maturity of this guy. His 2.0 version is giving dividends to the team. From an immature guy talking nonsense in Koffee with Karan to a guy batting sensibly and coming good with the ball in every single match. We need players like him. It seems KL Rahul who was his partner in crime in that TV show is yet to transform himself. I don't remember any single event when this scored heavily in a knockout game. Do we really need such dimwitted players? Certainly not.
Lastly, as a team, we need to stop doing appeasement of experienced players. Ashwin clearly didn't deserve a place on the team and so was DK. I think it’s a culture of the Indian team to field players who are playing their last World Cup.
Another thing: As a unit, we give maximum exposure to some players stating they are in our scheme of things for the World Cup but when the time arrives they are just made to sit on the bench or dropped.
Case and point - Ambati Rayadu. He was given a long run before the 2019 World Cup. Later he was not even in the 15-member squad.
Chahal or Bishnoi could have been utilized to good effect in this World Cup but they were not even given a game against associate teams.
Well, it seems common sense is so uncommon with Team India.
Between 2 World Cups, we as a team start and end our campaigns with 10-wicket defeats. That very much tells the sad state of affairs in our team.

What exercise can lose face fat? | Reducing face fat involves a combination of overall weight loss, specific facial exercises, and lifestyle adjustments. Keep in mind that spot reduction (losing fat from a specific area) is not scientifically proven, so the goal is to reduce overall body fat, which will also lead to a reduction in face fat. Here are some tips to help you achieve a slimmer face:
Overall Weight Loss: If you're carrying excess weight, focus on losing weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise. As you lose overall body fat, your face fat will also decrease.Calorie Deficit: Create a calorie deficit by consuming fewer calories than your body burns. This can be achieved through a combination of diet and exercise.Balanced Diet: Follow a healthy and balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. Avoid sugary and processed foods, as they can contribute to weight gain.

Who is Samuel Beckett? | Samuel Beckett (1906–1989) was an Irish writer, dramatist and theatre director.
He was, not just in my opinion but in the opinion of many, one of the most remarkable and important writers of the second half of the 20th century, although his career started much earlier.
I also think that he would have been profoundly embarrassed to have that said about him.
In an important way, and for (I think) interesting reasons, it took him a while to find what you might call his ‘voice’. All of his most famous and most influential work was written after he’d turned 40.
I have a slightly idiosyncratic opinion about him, which I’ll get to later.
Beckett was born in Dublin, Ireland, into a middle-class Protestant family.
The particular area he grew up in, Foxrock, is well-known in Dublin as one of the more middle-class suburbs.
This is the street Beckett grew up on (thanks, Google Street View):
This is not the countryside. This is one of the wealthiest parts of suburban Dublin.
Behind those giant hedges are detached houses. Beckett’s family’s house, Cooldrinagh, is on the right. I am familiar enough with Foxrock to know that, although this photo was taken in 2021 or whatever, this street has looked like this since 1900 or so.
He had a warm relationship with his father, who was a mild-mannered quantity surveyor, and a more difficult relationship with his mother.
He was a very bright student, and went to Trinity College Dublin, where he studied modern and Romance languages. He was also a very good cricket player, cricket being a sport which is/was, in Ireland, overwhelmingly played by middle-class Protestants. He played first-class cricket against Northamptonshire.
Basically, he was all set for a career as maybe a teacher, or university lecturer.
But it was not to be.
He taught briefly at Campbell College in Belfast, where he was unhappy and made no secret of it. His employer took him aside at one point and remonstrated with him, saying The young men at this school are the cream of society!
Yes, Beckett replied, all rich and thick.
He left that job soon after.
In 1928, aged 22, he got a job teaching English at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, one of the most prestigious educational establishments in France. By this point, he was absolutely fluent in French.
He was introduced to James Joyce, who was then working on what would become his last book, Finnegans Wake.
Beckett enormously admired Joyce, who shared his appetite for languages and learning (and booze), but who was (lapsed) Catholic where Beckett was an agnostic ex-Protestant, and a family man where Beckett was solitary by nature.
They used to sit together having long silences, interrupted by almost impossibly arcane snatches of conversation. Once, after several minutes of nobody saying anything, Joyce said How could the idealist Hume write a history?
Beckett replied, A history of representations. Whereupon they fell silent again.
(What Joyce meant was something like: how could David Hume, whose metaphysics was based on the idea that reality was a matter of impressions and ideas in human perception, have written his enormous [LINKED_TEXT: The History of England] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_England_(Hume_book)], if he thought that ‘England’ was only a set of mental objects? Beckett, as we can see, had an explanation.)
Beckett published some poetry, and what I remember as a very good critical study of Marcel Proust, although I haven’t read it in years. His relations with Joyce cooled down a bit after Joyce’s daughter Lucia fell in love with him and he turned her down. Joyce didn’t like people who upset his family members.
In 1932, Beckett wrote his first novel, Dream of Fair to Middling Women, which he decided, I think rightly, wasn’t worth publishing. He converted some of it into his first short story collection, More Pricks Than Kicks, most of which IMO isn’t that great, but which does contain one very good story, ‘Dante and the Lobster’.
In the late 30s, he published his first novel Murphy, which some people love. I don’t.
If I seem a bit hard on Beckett’s early work, I’ll explain why later.
In 1938 he was attacked in the street by a pimp named Prudent, who stabbed him. This aroused the paternal sentiments of James Joyce, who forgave Beckett for turning down Lucia, and got him a private room at a hospital.
In the subsequent legal proceedings, Beckett asked Prudent why he’d stabbed him, and Prudent replied Je ne sais pas, Monsieur. Je m'excuse: ‘I don’t know, sir. I’m sorry.’ Beckett was so struck by this non-answer, and found his attacker so generally likeable, that he decided not to press charges.
In 1939 there was the small matter of World War Two.
Beckett joined the French Resistance, for whom he worked as a courier. He had formed a relationship with a young woman named Suzanne Dechevaux-Dumesnil, and in 1942 their Resistance unit was betrayed to the Gestapo and they fled on foot to the south of France, where Beckett worked with a Maquis unit to sabotage German forces.
Suzanne Dechevaux-Dumesnil.
Beckett and Suzanne lived in the south of France until the end of the war, whereupon they returned to Paris.
In 1945, Beckett went on a trip back to Dublin to see his family.
During that trip, he had some sort of major internal experience, in which he suddenly and briefly glimpsed that the artistic direction he’d been shoving himself in for about 15 years was not his true one, and in fact his true direction was quite different.
The result of this was that, between 1946 and about 1957, Beckett had, for him, an unprecedented and never-to-be-repeated outburst of creativity.
One of the peculiar features about this was that, while it went on, he stopped writing in English, his native language, and started writing in French.
Between 1946 and 1957, Beckett wrote the following works, most of which are his greatest masterpieces:
‘L’Expulsé’, 1946, short story, translated in 1967 as ‘The Expelled’‘Le Calmant’, 1946, short story, translated in 1967 as ‘The Calmative’‘La Fin’, 1946, short story, translated in 1967 as ‘The End’, although a partial translation had appeared in 1946Mercier et Camier, 1946, novel, translated in 1974 as Mercier and CamierEn attendant Godot, play, c. 1947–49, first produced 1953, translated 1954 as Waiting for GodotMolloy, novel, 1948, translated 1955Malone meurt, novel, 1948, translated 1956 as Malone DiesL’innomable, novel, 1950, translated 1958 as The Unnamable — this and the two previous novels are generally referred as ‘the Trilogy’Fin de partie, play, 1955–57, translated 1957 as Endgame
In terms of the life, that’s pretty much it.
Beckett lived on in Paris, writing prose and plays, and he became a very good director of his own plays, which isn’t as easy as it probably sounds, since the plays themselves are extraordinarily hard to put on, because of their brevity, intensity and extreme minimalism. But Beckett somehow intuited how they might work as drama, which is remarkable for someone with so little practical experience in theatre.
There were other plays that were well admired, such as Krapp’s Last Tape and Happy Days and Rockaby, and Beckett also had a go at writing his own version of TV drama (Eh Joe) and radio drama (The Old Tune, an adaptation of a play by his friend Robert Pinget.)
He wrote one more novel, How It Is, and then the prose got inexorably shorter and shorter and shorter, as if he were finding it harder and harder to write.
But, basically, he lived on for four decades, declining interviews, leading a quiet life, conducting the odd discreet affair but being mostly faithful to Suzanne, who he married in 1961 so that she could inherit the rights to his work.
In 1969, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature, to his considerable embarrassment. He didn’t show up to collect the award in person, and he didn’t make a speech, which was customary for Nobel laureates in Literature. He gave the £30,000 prize money away, most of it to his old university, Trinity College Dublin.
Suzanne Beckett died in July 1989.
Samuel Beckett died in December 1989, a time when, if you were me, and you were in any way active in Irish cultural circles, which I was at the time in a very small way, he was by far Ireland’s most eminent living writer.
So, who was Samuel Beckett?
Well, the following is the result of my own being obliged to think about him and take him on board, seeing as I’ve tried to be an Irish writer, and have sometimes been one, and he was there while I grew to almost-adulthood, as the Dark Eminence—the massively uncommunicative and terrifyingly silent Living Master—of Irish Literature.
Which is to say that the following can’t be “objective”, although I have gone back and forth between loving his work, and finding it irrelevant and annoying, before finally arriving at a point where I think I can live with it.
I’m sure that other Irish people who write haven’t had the same kind of Beckett obsession that I’ve had, and for good reasons. But I did have one, and now I don’t.
Let me explain.
Beckett came from considerable privilege.
Unlike his hero James Joyce, he had a very comfortable adolescence. His father’s job ensured that the family had a good life.
He was also from the same class in Irish society that I come from, on my dad’s side: the Anglo-Irish Protestant middle-class. Beckett’s background was such that his destiny was almost written out for him: exam success, Trinity College Dublin, a comfortable teaching/lecturing position, eminence in that sphere, retirement, death.
He defied this. Something in his makeup wouldn’t let him do it.
When, in the 1920s, he came under the influence of Joyce, he consciously embraced it, but he failed to fully absorb it.
What I mean is that Beckett’s early fiction, from his posthumously published first novel Dream of Fair to Middling Women to the last novel that he first-drafted in English, Watt, suffers from the fact that Beckett was, on the one hand, trying to write about his deeper themes of solitude and loneliness, and on the other hand, he was still so dazzled by Joyce’s techniques of verbal proliferation and virtuosity, that he used them, even though they had nothing to do with the subject matter of his work.
The result is that Beckett’s early fiction suffers from, to my ear, a constant grinding noise, which is the result of the dissonance between Beckett’s deeper preoccupations, and the style in which he chooses to write.
The really impressive thing about him is that he realised this, sometime during the composition of Watt.
And his solution was radical and extraordinary: in order to curb his own tendency to indulge himself in words, he elected to write his books in another language.
Writers had done this before.
Joseph Conrad, a Pole, had taken up writing fiction in English, having never written anything in Polish.
Vladimir Nabokov (who was almost certainly unknown to Beckett in the 40s) had been a successful emigré writer in his native Russian, but took up writing in English so that he could reach more readers.
But Nabokov and Conrad switched languages because their native languages were inhibiting them from success; and Nabokov actually became a more exuberant and original writer in English than he’d been in Russian.
Beckett took up French as his language so as to force himself to be less extravagant. Writing in French meant that he couldn’t do his clever-ass puns and verbal fireworks. He had to keep it simple.
The result is the great work of his mid-career: Godot, the Trilogy, and Endgame, which last title I will always associate with him, and not with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
What makes Beckett’s mature work so special?
I think Beckett’s experiences during WW2, in which he and Suzanne were forced to flee Paris on foot, and live in poverty and obscurity, hiding from the authorities, permanently drilled into him something about the nature of the world. Something about what it was like to be not privileged. And he transformed this into something universal, as only great writers can do.
He talked about it afterwards only in the most oblique way, saying that whereas Joyce’s work was a heroic effort of expanding outwards, and understanding everything and doing everything, his own work was about weakness and impotence.
Once he truly understood this, he built it into the very syntax of his writing.
The literary critic Christopher Ricks’ book Beckett’s Dying Words is really good about this. You can see it in the writing of the Trilogy, and of Godot and Endgame: there’s no more pissing about. Beckett is writing directly about a level of human destitution and weakness that his earlier work couldn’t even imagine, but sort of leaned towards anyway.
You can see it even more blatantly in later works like Imagination Dead Imagine and Ill Seen Ill Said and Worstward Ho, where the language itself is stripped down to a kind of breathless gasp, a deathbed attempt to say something, a desperate need to both admit the void and to defy it:
Enough. Sudden enough. Sudden all far. No move and sudden all far. All least. Three pins. One pinhole. In dimmost dim. Vasts apart. At bounds of boundless void. Whence no farther. Best worse no farther. Nohow less. Nohow worse. Nohow naught. Nohow on.
—final lines of Worstward Ho, Beckett’s penultimate major work of fiction
The younger Beckett’s work is full of a kind of disgust and horror at the idea of death and decay, but the mature Beckett lets them in, and gives them a cup of tea, and a whisky chaser, and sits down next to them, and is quietly respectful.
This, I think, is why Beckett became so beloved and revered. At least, to some people.
That said: when I was a young writer in the 90s, Beckett’s universally acknowledged pre-eminence felt like a dead weight.
I had more than one encounter, as a young man, with middle-aged/elderly, Irish, arts/culture administrative types, invariably men, who would both rhapsodise about Beckett, and at the same time behave in the most boorish or obnoxious way. Beckett became for them an Official Writer, in a way that I think he would have hated. Maybe it was me being a young punk. Maybe it was them being assholes. Perhaps both.
The Gate Theatre in Dublin, from the 80s to the 00s, made a habit of producing his dramatic work in what became a tedious house style: invariably heavy, mournful and mildly sardonic, like a sort of modernist Tennyson. (Long-overdue regime change at the Gate has [LINKED_TEXT: since made things better] [URL: https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2022/feb/18/endgame-review-frankie-boyle-gate-theatre-dublin].) It didn’t help that the Beckett estate was and is very hostile to any attempt to re-interpret his work, if such re-interpretations didn’t strictly obey his own stipulations as to how it should be done.
It started to seem like, if you couldn’t be as bleak about everything as Beckett was, then you weren’t deemed to be a good writer.
So I think Beckett’s work now exists in a kind of limbo.
There are signs that people want to inject new life into his dramatic work, which I welcome.
I suspect that his fiction, which was once as admired as his plays, will not be read as much as it used to be; certainly, James Joyce’s flame seems to go on burning, but whereas Beckett once seemed like a sort of necessary corrective to Joyce, he no longer seems to have that kind of prestige.
This is maybe because Beckett’s cosmic pessimism isn’t necessarily something that younger writers want to attend to. I always had a problem with it myself, and on the larger scale of things, Beckett seems to me like a heroic and melancholy farewell to an older tradition, not so much the beginning of a new one.
Anyway, that’s my take on Beckett, in September 2022.
A wonderful writer whose music I love, even if I don’t want to play it myself.
Thanks for the A2A, [LINKED_TEXT: Saima Bashir] [URL: https://www.quora.com/profile/Saima-Bashir-14].

Why do conspiracy theorists need to believe in their theories? | They need others to believe in their conspiracy theories even more than they themselves need to believe in them. Why? For money, fame (or infamy), perceived political gain.
These theories really shouldn't be lumped together since some are more perfidious than others and can be both harmful and hurful to individuals as well as groups of people. The holocaust deniers are notorious in their attempts to explain away the atrocities that happened in the Nazi extermination camps during World War II. David Icke and his followers believe, or pretend to believe, that certain politicians are in fact reptiles masquerading as humans, or at least reptilian hybryds. Among the “suspects” are Donald Trump and Barack Obama. No party favoritism here. Others believe that the world is secretly run by a cabal of Freemasons, Satanists, and Illuminati. Not unsurprisingly most of these puppet masters and conspirators are supposed to be Jewish. Maybe the men and women behind this theory are holocaust deniers as well.
In addition there are a few strange beliefs that can't really be called conspiracy theories. The Hollow Earth Theory still has its believers, while others are equally certain that the earth has the shape of a pancake. The Ancient Astronaut theorists believe that man was created by space travellers from another planet. One of these ancient astronauts was Jesus, who may have been the son of a plutonian by the name of Gilgamesh.
What the believers in all these wild and fantastic theories have in common is a feeling of superiority, something that sets them apart from the common herd. They do (or think they do) after all have access to knowledge denied you and me.

Do female users get harassed for the questions and answers they post on Quora? | Yes!
Here are some comments I see all too often:
“*name*, stop posting pictures of yourself to try to get compliments!”How often have you seen that commented on a guy’s post? Probably never. How many times have you seen that commented on a girl/woman’s post? Too many times to count. It's been commented at least a dozen times on my answers, and it's annoying as heck, I only post my picture to answer the question asked!
“You shouldn't wear so much makeup. It makes you look ugly.”First of all, screw you. Second, women can wear whatever they want. Your opinion doesn't matter- just because they're a woman and posted their picture on the internet doesn't give you the right to tell them how to look.
Edit- Here's an example from one of my recent answers, in which I described how my looks have changed over the years. I included pictures in this answer, and this dude took that as an invitation:

What was the strangest fast food order you've seen? | Worked at a Tim hortons.
person comes in and orders a sandwich combo. Double toasted top and triple toasted on bottom. 2 slices of cheese of each kind available. Ham needed to be warm and 4.5 slices only. Soup needed to be fresh. Like from the back area fresh. Bun cut and buttered. Drink was coffee. 2.5 pumps of sugar followed by one packet of healthy sugar. 1 milk and 2.5 creamer and separated into two cups.
he was also a regular. No one wanted to serve him because if we make even one mistake (he watched each step) we were told to start again. I left shortly after my 1 year of working there. So never knew what became of him.

What will happen if $1 will be equal to 1 rupee? What will be the consequences? | Our inflation will reach to zero level as there will be much cheaper imports of crude and other products . Our services sector will collapse because there exports income will be very negligible.

Which is a better band: Iron Maiden or Judas Priest? | As this question is blasphemy, I will settle for a fantasy answer of Rob Halford replacing Bruce Dickinson in Maiden. (I know it wouldn't work, Priest is all about punch vs Maiden's guitar wankery...but dammit, if I can get Aces High with Halford's vocals, I could die happy).

Whats the #1 thing you always pray for? | There's no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the shrewdest, smartest maneuver in business depends on the situation and the individual. However, here are a few strategies that may be helpful in certain situations:
1. Start your own business - This is probably the shrewdest move you can make when it comes to business. Not only will starting your own business give you a lot of control over your own destiny, but it can also be a very lucrative endeavor.
2. Use technology to your advantage - If you can use technology to your advantage, doing so can be very shrewd. For example, if you run a bakery, you could use online ordering platforms to boost your sales. If you're in the marketing or advertising industry, using digital tools such as social media or email marketing can be very effective and help you reach a wider audience.
3. Be creative - If you're able to come up with creative ideas and solutions that are unique to your industry or niche, you'll stand out from the competition and may be able to gain an advantage over your competitors.
Try these three strategies out and see which proves most effective for you!

When I was a child, Smokey Bear said "Only YOU can prevent forest fires." I thought he meant ME. Do you remember this fire prevention campaign? | Absolutely yes.
I was in kindergarten when Smokey the Bear came into being. I remember it well and yes… it DOES mean ME. Too bad they only use his picture now and not the entire campaign.
They always spoke about making sure all campfires were out… DEAD out. Remember that ? Great ad campaign.

Is it correct affirming, in the light of the Scriptures, that the woman who makes abortion does not believe in God? | God actually give instruction on how to perform abortion, and call baby conceived out of wedlock as unfit to liveNumbers 5:11–28The Test for an Unfaithful Wife
11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him 13 so that another man has sexual relations with her, and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure— 15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah[[LINKED_TEXT: a] [URL: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%205%3A11-31&version=NIV#fen-NIV-3808a]] of barley flour on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder-offering to draw attention to wrongdoing.
16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[[LINKED_TEXT: b] [URL: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%205%3A11-31&version=NIV#fen-NIV-3814b]] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”
“‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.”
23 “‘The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her. 25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial[[LINKED_TEXT: c] [URL: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%205%3A11-31&version=NIV#fen-NIV-3819c]] offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.

What would you prefer, to spend resources on customization of free open-source EMR/EHR or buy a proprietary system? | I would prefer to have a choice, i.e., proprietary systems. What will happen is simple. Doctors would buy different systems and try them. The most user-friendly and enabling (making the MD’s work easier and faster–opposite of what we have now) system would become the dominant, successful one and push out the others.
That is how the free market works: by millions of consumers choices, the decentralized market, in contrast to central (government) control, would select the best system: least expensive and most effective for the end-users: the providers and ultimately the patients.
Now we have a system that is dollar inefficient and effective only for the central authority (government) as it follows their rules rather than what MDs need and what would protect patients.
