Without looking at a map, how well can you draw the shape of your country? | For living in Canada I would have thought my memory of the map would be much cleaner.
I’m clearly no master cartographer but I suppose I could have been worse.
The overall shape is sloppy and the islands to the north of Nunavut are clearly off. The proportions of BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba aren’t terrible. The Northern Territories, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes leave much to be desired.

I am not responsible for any hopelessly lost travellers attempting (for god knows what reason) to use my chicken scratch map for navigation. But hey! If you’re adventurous why not give it a shot.

What is the difference between Homo erectus and Australopithecus? | Homo erectus is later, and more widespread, than any of the Australopithecus species (of which there are several). H. erectus has a more barrel-shaped ribcage, rather than the chimpanzee-like, cone-shaped ribcage of australopiths, and in general its postcranial (below the skull) skeleton differs little from our own, except that the arms are relatively longer and the bones more robust (heavier).
Again, Australopithecus species vary in degree of advancement (and paleontologists disagree on whether some species, like Australopithecus/Homo sediba are advanced australopiths or primitive humans), but while they have human-looking leg bones, the pelvis is not fully modern.
Most notably, of course, H. erectus has a significantly larger brain than Australopithecus; the latter’s brain is roughly gorilla-sized, whereas the former, while showing significant variation in size, overlaps the lower range of modern human brain sizes. The overall appearance of the skull is much more modern, despite the protruding face and prominent brow ridges.
H. erectus also has a more human-looking jaw (more parabolic rather than the U-shape of a nonhuman ape or australopith lower jaw) and teeth.
Behaviorally, australopiths used only the crudest of stone tools — either unprocessed nut-smashing rocks, as chimps also do occasionally, or perhaps crudely chipped rocks like the earliest members of Homo. H. erectus, more advanced than the earliest members of genus Homo, made fairly elegant chipped stone tools, but was very conservative in its technology, barely changing over a million years. It’s generally assumed that H. erectus was considerably smarter than australopiths but not as smart as modern humans, but there are considerable difficulties in giving IQ tests to collections of old bones.

How do you get a name changed on a birth certificate? I recently found out that my dad is not my biological dad, but I have his last name and he's on my birth certificate. How did my mom get this all changed and am I able to get it changed back? | You can generally pretty freely change your given name and surname as long as you don’t have a felony but if you want to take the dad off that’s not biological dad that’s a completely different mess. If the wrong dad is on your birth certificate your real biological dad can adopt you and get his name on there that way but the original information will still exist in the records. In the old days changing birth certificates was pretty easy in many areas now that birth certificates are much more important we have finally awoken to the idea that people are damned liars in a lot of situations and that is just one of them. As an adult you don’t need the parents permission to mess with your paperwork but you may have to give them notice that you’re trying to change something depending on the laws where you live.

Do you agree with environmentalists that keeping dogs or cats is bad for the environment as they leave a large carbon footprint? | I have a conservation degree. I would say there are much bigger issues to worry about.

Why do cats abandon their owners? | Cats are cats. Cats do what cats do. Cats have their own version of how life works. They come home, their human slaves pet them, cuddle them, keep them warm, feed them, etc. If they stop getting that they’ll go and find new human slaves to give them what they need, they’re not loyal.
Cats are not dogs. Dogs are loyal. Trained properly the dog will know that you are the boss and what you say goes and they will protect you until death. Cats, NOPE!
We had a cat, had her for a few years. One day she just disappeared, and we had no cat for a few years. Then one day this cat came back in the house, went straight to me in the lounge (I used to feed our cat), looked at me a mewed. I was totally shocked and surprised nobody in the house knew where this cat had come from. ...

How do you wake yourself up in the morning? | I think is money. I need to wake up to work and earn money. This motivation may be a little bit vulgar, but it is real. Money is important for an ordinary family. It is an undeniable thing that we need money cause we spend money almost on every aspect of life. Lying in the bed all day gets nothing. So wake up every day by setting [LINKED_TEXT: an alarm clock] [URL: https://www.nusgear.com/Products/Smart-Home/DDC-8009-8%27%27-Alarm-Clock/273970001] in case of oversleeping.

Who represents the GOP in 2021? | Donald Trump’s anger continues to represent the GOP in 2021.

Does your dog ever act as if you offended him/her? | Yes. My dog is really annoyed if I want to wake up extra early. You can see it in his expression. He is quite offended if a vet sticks a thermometer in his butt or if you lie to him. He actually knows the phrase “Mommy lied” and will be disappointed and go lay down if I trick him.

Are scaffolding considered as a truss/frame? | Scaffolding and trusses/frames are two different types of structures that serve different purposes.
Scaffolding is a temporary structure used to support workers and materials during construction or maintenance work. It typically consists of a series of platforms, boards, and poles that are assembled to create a stable work surface at a height. [LINKED_TEXT: scaffolding queensland] [URL: https://ringally.com.au/] is designed to be easily erected and dismantled, and it is not typically designed to carry heavy loads or support structures.
On the other hand, a truss or frame is a structural system that is designed to support heavy loads and provide stability. It typically consists of a series of interconnected triangles that distribute the load evenly across the structure. Trusses and frames are commonly used in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other large structures.
While there may be some similarities between scaffolding and trusses/frames in terms of their construction and design, they are fundamentally different types of structures with different purposes. Therefore, scaffolding is not considered a truss/frame.

Can you do a singing reveal? | I can sing. I’ve sang in countless weddings. Thank goodness those days are over. Your voice is like a muscle though… If you don’t keep working it you lose it somewhat .

And though she wept, yet she leapt
As now the crops all fall

Is PHP difficult to learn? | PHP is a server-side, open-source programming language that is used by a variety of businesses to create dynamic websites and pages. PHP is frequently used for a variety of functions, including collecting lead information, processing online sales, sending and receiving cookies, and more.
PHP is a natural choice for programmers looking for work in cybersecurity, development, and IT because of its popularity and ease of use.

What are some cool, lesser known facts about the Indian Railways? | Indian Railways (IR) is a state-owned national transporter in India that is in charge of rail transit. At the end of 2015-16, it had the world's fourth-largest railway network, with 119,630 kilometers (74,330 miles) of total track and 92,081 kilometers (57,216 miles) of running track across a length of 66,687 kilometers (41,437 miles) and 7,216 stations. We've compiled a list of intriguing facts regarding Indian railways.
Highest Rail Bridge
The Chenab Bridge is a railway steel and concrete arch bridge being built between Bakkal and Kauri in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district. When completed, the Chenab River bridge will span the river at a height of 359 meters (1,178 feet), making it the world's highest rail bridge. The Chenab Bridge will be 35 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower.
Railway Staff

What’s the point of the British guards (red suits and black hats)? Are they actually trained to take down threats? What weapons do they have? | My 4x Great Grandad was in the Couldstream Guards Light Company defending Hougoumont Farm at the Battle of Waterloo. They fought like buggery to defend one of the most pivotal points of the battlefield. At the time the Guards Regts were considered the elite of the British Army (sort of like the SAS are now) and the “Red Suits” or as most people call them Parade Uniforms (Number 1 Uniform in the Army) are a proud reminder of their heritage a bit like the US Army guards at Arlington in their funny “Blue Suits, with antiquated rifles”.
The funny black hats they wear are due to a Guards line regiment taking down the much vaunted Napoleon Imperial or Old Guard who never retreated never surrendered, they originally wore the Black Bear Skin and the British Guards were awarded the honour of wearing the same ever since.
To sum it up the Guards are trained to the same standard as any regiment in the British Army and able to take down any threat that is presented to them with the level of violence that is appropriate to the situation in hand,

Why don’t files normally come with a tool handle but most other woodworking tools do? | Files are sometimes produced and sold without handles. This is because handles can often outlast files. Once a file is blunt, it's cheaper to replace it than it is to sharpen it or re-cut the teeth. ... These files are referred to as solid handle files and will not fit inside other handles. In any case, each file should be fitted with a handle because it is very easy to injure the hand on the sharp file tang. Teeth of a suitable kind are cut on the blade which is then hardened and tempered. ... The sharp pointed tang should be fitted with a handle to prevent workers from seriously injuring their hands.

Can I prepare for NID in 4-5 months? What things should I do to get into NID? | Hi. I would say there’s plenty of time left for you to prepare for NID entrance. All you need to understand is that NID entrance does not entirely focus on design. It analyses your skills as a whole. You need to be prepared with some technical and general questions as well. The most important thing you must understand is that at NID, you’re practically judged on the basis of your confidence and communication. Design comes afterwards. Here are a few books you should refer to for NID: Emotional Design, Don't Make Me Think, Revisited: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability (3rd Edition), Universal Principles of Design, Revised and Updated: 125 Ways to Enhance Usability, Influence Perception, Increase Appeal, Make Better Design Decisions, and Teach through Design, etc.

Should farmers be prohibited from owning guns? | No. A big fat simple no. Why would a farmer be someone that you believe shouldn’t own firearms in the first place? I’d like to know that. Anyway, I’d say often they need firearms more than other people. Especially for rodent and pest control of different animals that eat and destroy crops. Even more so if they also own other animals and live in an area with predators like mountain lions, bears, coyotes, and wolves to protect their livestock. In the past totalitarian regimes and governments would disarm farmers and country dwelling people because they believed they would be the first and most likely to revolt against them. I believe farmers would be the ones who would need guns the most for practical reasons other than protection and target shooting. Although I believe anyone or any type of person should be allowed to own guns as long as they’re not convicted of violent crimes.

What is the purpose of a university education? Is it primarily to learn or to acquire credentials for a future job? | Neither, really. It depends entirely on the person getting the education. There is no general rule. It’s like asking why someone wants to get married. There are certain obvious answers to the question. But those answers don’t, by any means, define every individual or even most individuals who make the decision.
I had students in my classes who were experts in their field and had been working in the field for 20+ years. The work of thousands like them, over the years, led to the creation of certain fields, such as degrees in computer science. Once the degrees became available, their employers forced them to earn those degrees. The employers could not afford to lose them. So, the employers gave them time off and paid for the degree. I’m using computer-science only as an example. My students came from a variety of fields.
Many students I know go to an expensive university because they want to make friends with other rich students. They’re already sure that they’re taking over the family business. They need neither any credentials nor any job.
Places like Udemy & Coursera make college education virtually obsolete. So, I really don’t know why anyone would ever want to get any type of college education, in the 21st. century.

Are anti-abortion laws Godly? | All deities and religions are 100% fiction, myths passed down for thousands of years, the bible is a complete too off of previous pagan bekiefs, especially it stole the creation story from The Epic of Gilgamesh.
Humans have been on Earth for 6 million years. In all that time, with all the knowledge, technology and investigations, NOT ONE god, goddess, spirit, angel, demon or anything supernatural, at all, has been found.
SO NO IS THE ANSWER.

Who is probably in deep trouble with their wife right now? | Conor McGregor is going through an all too familiar early life crisis right now.
For the unfamiliar – he is the wealthiest MMA fighter of all time. He won the UFC titles with unprecedented trash talk (marketing) and paydays.
He solidified his fortune, earning nearly 100 million dollars in a well known boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.
Between that early windfall of money and losing his UFC title to Khabib Nurmagomedov, things began spiralling out of control quickly.
A string of arrests for breaking a man’s phone, throwing a chair at a bus window, and recently, punching an elderly man at a bar. Conor has seen himself frequently on the receiving end of bad headlines.
But - things have gotten particularly more complicated as of recently.
Conor has a partner, Dee Devlin, of many years who has stood by his side prior to him getting famous.
And with him through his chaotic behavior.
But things are getting tricky for Conor. He’s an attractive, talented athlete, who women have flocked to for years.
A woman has surfaced:
She had a child last year and claims that Conor is the father. It’s been messy. She has been releasing private conversations between them.
And is requesting him to take a DNA test.
The thing that makes it look extra damning though? Besides the fact that he is doing everything he can to dodge that DNA test?
Look at Conor and his son (with Dee Devlin), Conor Jr.
And now,
Look at the woman(mother) below who claims he is the father of the child she had last year. A little baby girl.
That little girl looks a helluva lot like Conor, and Conor Jr.
Conor has some issues to resolve in his life. And I suspect, a lot of explaining to do to his partner.

Why haven't the Las Vegas casinos been completely destroyed by mathematicians? | The short answer is that they figured out the math a long time ago. And for the most part, math stays constant. So other than card counting at blackjack (which is somewhat math driven), there are no mathematical formulas that, if executed perfectly, would afford a gambler an edge over the casino. And since the casinos have the right to banish card counters, where else would the math poindexters go to "destroy" the casino? Roulette? Craps? Slots? You might just as easily ask why psychics have not destroyed Vegas…or graduates of Hogwarts…the only one I am aware of who has managed to destroy casinos currently resides in the White House

A Kaiser technician told me that potassium has no effect on mood whatsoever, is that true? | I guess that depends on what happens to the potassium. If it is taken into your body the effect (immediate/long time) depends on the amount and timing of doses - and your previous potassium level. So you should work closely with your doctor in case of potassium defecit.

Why are western countries including the United States publicly stating what military equipment they are sending to Ukraine? Whatever happened to keeping the enemy in the dark of your plans? Is it just politics, hubris or stupidity? | Because it is the biggest Internet event hosted by “democratic” Ukraine, so everyone is after publicity. Sometimes i get to review weapons and equipment given to Ukraine, it is utterly garbage to be honest.
I mean one time Ukrainian Military posted effectiveness of Stinger missile systems and how many jets they have shot down with it. If you can find a modern jet flying that low altitude with almost crash course speed, please let me know. Stinger missiles for example are highly unreliable against planes. I had chance to work with those so i get the idea. Good for chopper hunting but everything else is pure science fiction, same with Ukrainian Neptunes(which are Soviet Era missiles with white paint job and Ukrainian Khazar Khaganite Crest on it)

Why do some generators run on natural gas? Isn't there a chance that in a hurricane or weather event that causes a power outage that the natural gas will be shut off as well? Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of it in these events? | If you’re comfortable relying on a grid, the Natural Gas grid is less vulnerable than the electric grid. It’s also the cleanest, most convenient, and most affordable option.
However, the NG utility also requires electricity to pressurize network lines, delivering it to you home.
In the event of an earthquake, volcanic activity, any failure to the cyber or electrical grid, be it accidental, terrorism, or war, will almost certainly interrupt service.
It’s also a long and complex grid, heavily regulated and controlled by various governments, and corporations, and requires their benevolence, competence, and good will to secure it.
Compressed Natural Gas, or Propane, can be stored indefinitely in situ, but storing large volumes of compressed gasses has its own hazards.
Gasoline has a vary short shelf life (a few months), and is also volatile. Diesel can be safely stored for many years, and isn’t volatile.
Wood and Coal can be safely stored for centuries, and are the least volatile fuels. With these fuels, and water, you can generate steam. Steam is the most common gas used to generate electricity.

What type of binoculars and magnification would be good for looking at satellites and the ISS? | A quality pair of binoculars are a great asset to stargazing.
Look for BAK-4 prisms and fully, multi-coated optics. My preferred size is 7 x 50…meaning 7 power with 50mm objective lenses. These will provide a 7mm exit pupil, the size of fully dilated (dark adjusted) young human eye. This will give you large light gathering ability and a power level that is both useful and easy to hold steady.
I prefer Porro prism to Roof prism design because of their somewhat better clarity & field of view. They are bulkier however.
Expect to pay…
$100 or less…very poor quality optics. Stars won’t focus to clean points.
$130 to $200…decent astro performance You will get a lot of good use out of them.
$300 to $3000…superb optics…if you can afford them, you’ll love them, but…
You will use them for many years. There are many breath takings astro sights to see with binos and they are useful for wild life also.
However, having said that, they are useful but not ideal for following satellites. The ISS is usually very bright, a stunning sight to the naked eye but it is moving very fast and is hard to track with binoculars.
Aside from the large number of celestial objects you can observe, you can spot many artificial satellites every evening. In, fact they can be a PITA if you like to take time exposure images! :-)
Really, the most important assets are your eyes. Go out into the countryside, find dark skies, dress warm when necessary, and enjoy the greatest show of all. Bring some friends…preferably quality friends!

What are the best non-Disney and non-Pixar animated movies? | Well, let’s see…
I used to remember Disney and Pixar’s glory days. I still do.
Each and every trope in the book seemed to be pulled off compellingly with each film released. The Lion King, Toy Story, The Incredibles, Mulan, The Jungle Book etc. all seem be representative of the ‘magic’ present in films produced by the titanic corporation.
But, as of late, I have yet to see that compelling magic. Instead, Disney opts for licking up its animated IPs with live-action paint and calling it “remade” while milking existing franchises to death when people don’t really want that.
There was a time when they were making classics. Now? They simply don’t. That may change, but here I am waiting for that day.
And I’ll still be watching Dreamworks’ unprecedented triumph, Megamind.
Despite its defeat at the hands of Despicable Me in rising to critical recognition in pop culture (that film is inferior, change my mind), Megamind still remains emblematic in its unorthodox storytelling.
And it is entirely successful because of it.
Megamind sets out to flip everything about the superhero genre upside-down and generate a truly memorable experience as a result.
It is about the antics of the titular Megamind to fulfil his vision of being the “baddest of them all”, whilst being foiled - every single time - by his diametric opponent, Metro Man.
Sorry, Keanu, you’re about nine years late.
That brings up my first point about the film: it is so, goddamn, quotable. And hilariously at that.
You all know what it means.
And Megamind’s and Metro man’s exchange over warranties, “PRESENTATION!” and anything that Will Ferrell enunciates delicately has me absolutely cackling.
But, underneath its punctual soundtrack, adequate animation quality and comedic energy, Megamind presents a surprisingly mature story uncommon in its literal presentation for children.
Once Metro Man is no longer in the picture, Megamind is finally left with the entire city to be his playground.
Suddenly, he finds that it’s no longer fun. Life no longer has any purpose or meaning when he is not doing battle with the city’s hero.
This is the biggest theme running through Megamind which I cannot praise enough: nature versus nurture, and what it really means to be a hero.
Both of Megamind’s and Metro Man’s origins are ripped straight from Superman, yet both land (literally) in completely different environments.
Megamind lands in a prison and learns the way of the “bad guy” before trying to integrate himself into society. Metro Man’s smugly curved eyebrows somehow find their way into a home of luxury and privilege which inflates his already overblown ego.
The film cleverly leaves out specific details in order to allow the audience to evaluate. For instance, Metro Man is framed as the obvious paragon of good and Megamind as the opposite.
Are people destined to grow up into what society expects of them, based on where they come from? Or is it the individual themselves that matters more?
Megamind and Metro Man find themselves at the same school. It is here that the theme is presented most vividly.
Megamind is a good person at heart. He genuinely wants to impress his peers and learn in school, but his consistently dangerous and failed inventions as well as being the conspicuous target for “bluphobia” make him doubt himself and returns to how he was nurtured, despite his good nature.
Over the course of the film, Megamind comes to see (right until the very end) that society will never stop rejecting him for what they see him as - the villain - instead of the genuinely decent person he is, and he internalises that shame.
On the other hand, Metro Man is also subversive of the typically virtuous superhero.
In a movie that sets out to present its supervillain in a sympathetic light, you would expect the “good guy” to be an antagonist, right?
Not exactly.
Metro Man is simultaneously kind and egotistical. He loves helping people and loves hearing people scream their adoration for him.
He’s not necessarily “evil”, but he’s not quite the sparkly clean role-model we’d expect him to be.
For instance, in his celebratory ceremony, he sweeps three babies out of their mothers prams and starts juggling them for the crowd, all while the same mothers clap and cheer without a real thought for the condition of their produce.
Questionable, to say the least.
This perfectly introduces us to Metro Man’s nature: one of self-absorbed arrogance. The city and its people are just props to him; he doesn’t really care about saving them, only the attention that saving people brings.
This is made apparent where he fakes his death and pursues his passion for music.
Metro Man becomes just as understandable as Megamind when he explains to him and Roxanne how it was never his ambition to be a superhero, much less since he laments that society never gave him much of a choice.
It’s understandable he couldn’t handle the societal pressure of having to be one thing forever, yet it demonstrates how undeserving he is of the title of a superhero.
When he chooses to fake his death and pursue his love of music, we’re left to question whether it was selfish or whether it was good that he was finally putting his own feelings and desires before those of society.
Then, it gets much more darker when you consider if somebody were to become notorious for using their powers for evil.
Enter Hal. Sorry, Tighten, I-I mean Titan.
On Pixar’s side, you have Buddy Pine representing the toxicity of entitled fans. Hal represents the toxicity of entitled nerds who believe that they are owed women’s affection.
Hal is predictive of the contemporary culture of “nice guys” popping up in internet circles; the kind of people who are supposedly good yet behave creepily because they believe that they are entitled to getting laid by pretty women because they are ‘nice’ to them.
He’s a nerd so he couldn’t possibly ever treat women badly.
No, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Media and society have made people like Hal believe they are entitled to the companionship of women no matter what. Give them godlike powers, and they would instantly become the villain.
Hal believes that Roxanne doesn’t notice him for his lack of superpowers, unlike Metro Man. So when he does get powered up by Megamind and tries to work his moves on Roxanne, he is met with cold realism when Roxanne justifiably tells him that they cannot work together.
Because Hal fails to recognise the problem wasn’t with a perceived lack of extraordinary power, but more with his scummy entitled nature.
The difference between Metro man and Hal is that Metro Man only behaved heroically for the notoriety it presented. Hal did it to get the girl. When that fails, he steals money because it is in his nature to be horrible.
Thanks to Megamind’s lack of foresight, Hal is now presented with an outlet to do horrible things to innocent people without any concern for potential consequences.
At the end, Megamind gets to prove his true self once and for all when he singlehandedly defeats Titan and becomes publicly recognised as a hero.
He briefly returns disguised as Metro Man, which I think is really interesting. It is a decision to give the city he wanted to conquer so badly something to believe in; the hero that they truly deserve.
Much to his surprise and the crowds, Roxanne turns off his watch which disguises him to reveal Megamind’s real presence. It shows that he didn’t think that the city would understand or accept that he would save them, but Roxanne chooses to show everyone that he has indeed changed for the better.
While the crowd hasn’t figured out how to process this, the smile Roxanne flashes at Megamind is all he could ever ask for.
Megamind is an film with a rather unacknowledged rich quality to it.
It’s unsurprising that this flew too short of the mark that its competition nabbed first, but I would say it’s much better because of it.
Instead of adding to the status quo, why not push it in a new direction?
This is what makes Megamind a joy to watch every single time.
Peace and Love.
A short life and a merry one.

Are scrubs soiled with blood destroyed or laundered? | In my hospital they are laundered. All scrub suits are laundered at very high temperature designed to sterilise them, and they are treated with industrial detergent to get them really clean.
I’ve not seen blood staining on clean scrubs from the laundry. Occasionally I have seen other traces: bone cement is an acrylic compound which is extremely tenacious. If you get it on your clothes, it really doesn’t come off. However, once it’s clean you can usually pick it off the fabric with a fingernail.

What did Nietzsche think of Islam? | Here a quote from the Antichrist, transl. H. L. Mencken:
59.
[…] If Islam despises Christianity, it has a thousandfold right to do so: Islam at least assumes that it is dealing with men….
60.
Christianity destroyed for us the whole harvest of ancient civilization, and later it also destroyed for us the whole harvest of Mohammedan civilization. The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain, which was fundamentally nearer to usand appealed more to our senses and tastes than that of Rome and Greece, was trampled down (—I do not say by what sort of feet—) Why? Because it had to thank noble and manly instincts for its origin—because it said yes to life, even to the rare and refined luxuriousness of Moorish life!… The crusaders later made war on something before which it would have been more fitting for them to have grovelled in the dust—a civilization beside which even that of our nineteenth century seems very poor and very “senile.”—What they wanted, of course, was booty: the orient was rich…. Let us put aside our prejudices! The crusades were a higher form of piracy, nothing more! The German nobility, which is fundamentally a Viking nobility, was in its element there: the church knew only too well how the German nobility was to be won…. The German noble, always the “Swiss guard” of the church, always in the service of every bad instinct of the church—but well paid…. Consider the fact that it is precisely the aid of German swords and German blood and valour that has enabled the church to carry through its war to the death upon everything noble on earth! At this point a host of painful questions suggest themselves. The German nobility stands outside the history of the higher civilization: the reason is obvious…. Christianity, alcohol—the two great means of corruption…. Intrinsically there should be no more choice between Islam and Christianity than there is between an Arab and a Jew. The decision is already reached; nobody remains at liberty to choose here. Either a man is a Chandala or he is not…. “War to the knife with Rome! Peace and friendship with Islam!”: this was the feeling, this was the act, of that great free spirit, that genius among German emperors, Frederick II. What! must a German first be a genius, a free spirit, before he can feel decently? I can’t make out how a German could ever feel Christian …
“Peace and friendship with Islam“ seems to be an important message for the Christians and our culture. I know, it wil be difficult if one remembers the words probably used in the plans just before hitting the Twin Towers. But what words have been used by pious Christians when they took the forbidden sword against Muslims?

How do I get someone's name by their mobile number? | The rejection of traditional forms and structures for poetry that began in the first half of the 20th century coincided with a questioning of the purpose and meaning of traditional definitions of poetry and of distinctions between poetry and prose, particularly given examples of poetic prose and prosaic poetry. Numerous modernist poets have written in non-traditional forms or in what traditionally would have been considered prose, although their writing was generally infused with poetic diction and often with rhythm and tone established by non-metrical means. While there was a substantial formalist reaction within the modernist schools to the breakdown of structure, this reaction focused as much on the development of new formal structures and syntheses as on the revival of older forms and structures

What is the real meaning of friendship? | Friendship is generally characterized by five defining features:
1. It is a dyadic relationship, meaning that it involves a series of interactions between two individuals known to each other.2. It is recognized by both members of the relationship and is characterized by a bond or tie of reciprocated affection.3. It is not obligatory; two individuals choose to form a friendship with each other. In Western societies, friendships are one of the least prescribed close relationships, with no formal duties or legal obligations to one another.4. It is typically egalitarian in nature. Unlike parent-child relationships, for instance, each individual in a friendship has about the same amount of power or authority in the relationship.5. It is almost always characterized by companionship and shared activities. In fact, one of the primary goals and motivations of friendship is companionship. In addition, adolescent and adult friendships often perform other functions, such as serving as sources of emotional support and providing opportunities for self-disclosure and intimacy.
Such features differentiate friendship from several related phenomena. The fact that friendships are dyadic relationships distinguishes them from cliques or peer groups. (Of course, many members of cliques are also friends with other members.) Similarly, having friendships is different from being popular or having a high social status. Individuals who are not popular certainly may have close friendships, and a popular person may not have a real friendship. The affective bond that is a component of friendship distinguishes friendship from acquaintanceship.
Friendship across the life span
Friendships play an important role in healthy human development and adjustment across the life span. Friendships exist in practically every stage of development, although the form they take varies considerably with age.
Early childhood
Although there is no clear consensus regarding at what age children first begin to form friendships, the foundations of such friendships begin to emerge quite early. Toddlers behave in a regular, predictable manner in their interactions with familiar peers earlier than they do with unfamiliar peers. Within the first two years of life, children show stable preferences for certain peers over others; further, with these preferred playmates, the interaction patterns they follow differ from those with other familiar peers. By the time children reach preschool age, the existence of true friendships is even more evident.
Children themselves tend at first to define friendships in terms of interactions, such as “we play together.” Companionship is generally viewed as the primary function of friendship among toddlers and preschoolers. Preschool friends have more social contact with each other, talk more with each other, and demonstrate more equality and less dominance in their interactions with each other than they do in their interactions with nonfriends. Differences between friends and nonfriends are particularly evident in social pretend play. By preschool, children also begin to incorporate more emotional and affective functions into their friendships. Preschool friends express more positive affect toward each other and score higher on measures of mutual liking, closeness, and loyalty than nonfriends do. Moreover, even young children frequently become sad or lonely when a friend moves away.
Friendships are not always harmonious, however, and young children may engage in conflict with their friends. In fact, in early childhood, friends tend to engage in more conflict than nonfriends. Yet, friends also expend more effort to resolve conflict and are more successful at such resolution than are nonfriends. Conflict resolution is frequently seen as one of the important social skills that young children develop within their earliest friendships.
Additionally, friendships are not always mutual among young children. Although the definition of friendship typically requires reciprocity, unilateral friendships, in which only one child of a pair nominates the other as a friend, are quite common in early childhood. In fact, about half of nominated preschool friendships are unilateral.
Middle childhood
Friendships make up an important aspect of development in middle childhood, when much time is devoted to social play and social interaction skills become increasingly important. School-age children spend a great deal of time interacting with peers and thus are presented with many opportunities for extending the friendship skills they acquired in early childhood. Children tend to form friendships with individuals who are similar to themselves in a variety of dimensions.
Some research suggests that there is greater similarity between friends on characteristics that are high in reputational salience. For example, school-age boys tend to be especially similar to their friends in aggressiveness. Children at this age are developing increasing independence from their parents, and their relationships with friends may be somewhat less dependent on parental involvement than was the case in preschool. Children may spend more time with their friends outside the direct supervision of an adult. Coupled with the social and cognitive advances of middle childhood, spending time together with a friend may promote the development of shared intimacy—which frequently takes the form of shared secrets—and becomes a defining feature of friendship for children at this age.
School-age friendships are differentiated from early-childhood friendships in a number of additional ways. Friendships in middle childhood are more stable over time than friendships in early childhood yet typically less so than adolescent or adult friendships. In addition, friendship nominations are much more frequently reciprocated in middle childhood than in early childhood. Although same-sex (versus other-sex) friendships compose the significant majority of friendships in early and middle childhood, there is a sharp decline in the proportion of other-sex friendships in middle childhood. A high proportion of same-sex friendships remain until adolescence.
As in early childhood, school-age friendships are characterized by social contact, talking, equality, positive affect, mutual liking, closeness, and loyalty. In addition, by this age, emotion is expressed with friends more readily than with nonfriends; affective reciprocity, emotional intensity, and demonstrations of emotional understanding are all more common. As in preschool, friendships in middle childhood are defined in large part by shared activities, yet in middle childhood, the concept of a friendship as transcending shared activities and having continuity over time emerges more fully. By middle childhood, friendships are frequently more complex and more similar to adult friendships than are children’s earliest friendships. Loyalty, shared values, and shared rules become important during the school years, and shared interests, empathy, common understanding, and self-disclosure gain increasing importance by preadolescence. Communication between friends also differs from that between nonfriends. Conflict remains more common between friends than between nonfriends, as does its resolution.
Friendships still tend to be relatively immature in comparison with adolescent and adult friendships, however. Children at this age are better able to take the perspective of another person, but they are still primarily focused on what they need or want out of the relationship rather than what their friend may need or want.

Why is Akshay Kumar’s "Oh My God 2" release on OTT not in theatre? | Loss of Confidence in Akshay Kumar
Since 2020, Akshay Kumars films released in Theatres include :-
Sooryavanshi (₹ 16.2 Crore LOSS )
Bachchan Pandey (₹ 27 Crore LOSS )
Samrat Prithviraj (₹ 65 Crore Loss)
Raksha Bandhan (₹ 13.8 Crore Loss)
Ram Setu (₹36.7 Crore Loss)
Selfieee (₹ 70 Crore Loss)
That's roughly a Total Loss of ₹ 230 Crore to the Distributors, Producers or Theatres
Add to this the Opportunity cost of around ₹ 100–125 Crore due to preferring Akshay Kumar films over other actor films
That's ₹ 375 Crore of Rough Losses
They are no longer confident of OMG 2
The Film was originally to be produced by Vipul Shah but later Akshay took over the movie as producer
Akshay needs at least 1200 Screens for his release and that's a minimum of ₹ 60 Crore that Theatres need to earn and they have already lost ₹ 100+ Crore due to Akshay Kumar films.
So they insist on Akshay guaranteeing them a minimum revenue before release (₹ 65 Crore)
Meanwhile Akshay has been offered ₹ 120 Crore flat by Voot for Direct Release on OTT
Akshay would rather gain ₹ 27 Crore Profit than risk ₹ 65 Crore

What are the scope for civil engineering in foreign countries? | The scope for civil engineering in foreign countries is vast and promising for construction professionals and civil engineers. With the rapid growth in infrastructure development and urbanization around the world, there is a high demand for skilled civil engineers in various countries.One of the key advantages of pursuing a career in civil engineering abroad is the opportunity to work on large-scale projects that may not be available in one's home country. Many foreign countries are investing heavily in their infrastructure, including the construction of bridges, highways, airports, and skyscrapers. This creates a significant need for civil engineers who can effectively design, plan, and manage these projects.
Moreover, working in foreign countries can provide civil engineers with exposure to different construction techniques, technologies, and regulations. This can enhance their skills and knowledge, making them more versatile and adaptable professionals. It also allows for the exchange of ideas and best practices, fostering innovation and creativity in the field of civil engineering.
In terms of career growth and opportunities, foreign countries often offer higher salaries and better benefits for civil engineers compared to their home countries. This, coupled with the chance to work on prestigious projects, can significantly boost one's professional profile and open doors to further career advancements.
However, it is important to note that working in foreign countries may come with its own set of challenges, such as adapting to different cultures, languages, and working environments. It is crucial for civil engineers to be open-minded, flexible, and willing to learn in order to succeed in foreign markets.
In conclusion, the scope for civil engineering in foreign countries is extensive and promising for construction professionals and civil engineers. It offers opportunities to work on large-scale projects, gain exposure to new technologies and regulations, and enjoy better career prospects. Pursuing a career in civil engineering abroad can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience for those willing to embrace new challenges and expand their horizons.

What is it like to be morbidly obese (BMI > 40)? | My mom just came for a visit, she had a medical problem she has never had before, due to being terribly overweight. Because her skin now has folds of flab draping down over the lower parts of her body, she now has tight creases where a fungal infection like athlete’s foot has taken off, and she has to wash the areas at least twice a day and put anti-fungal medication on them. They are red, cracked and painful like a diaper rash. Fortunately the medication does seem to be working, but believe me, you don’t want to get that overweight.

What are the specifications of the Poco M3 Pro 5G? | The Poco M3 Pro uses the MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC, just like the Realme 8 5G. On paper, the 7nm SoC seems fairly powerful for a phone in this price segment, so gaming and general multitasking shouldn't be an issue. 5G is of course the big draw here, but this feature is not of much use at the moment since 5G networks are a long way from being a reality in India.
The Poco M3 Pro 5G runs on MIUI 12.0.2 based on Android 11. In the short time that I've been using this phone, MIUI's infamously spammy apps such as GetApps have been behaving themselves, and I hope this continues throughout the review period. Poco has reduced the battery size to 5,000mAh, compared to the 6,000mAh one in the Poco M3. This is still a pretty high capacity though, and should easily deliver more than a day's worth of runtime. You get an 18W fast charger in the box.
Before we wrap this up, we should talk about the cameras, which seem a little disappointing based on specifications. The primary 48-megapixel camera seems useful enough, but Poco has left out an ultra-wide camera, which is baffling considering the price. Instead, you get two 2-megapixel sensors for macros and depth, which are not the most useful, in my opinion. The front camera has an 8-megapixel sensor.

Why did Dr B.R. Ambedkar hate Hinduism? | If Dr. Ambedkar as a child was
Made to sit on a gunny bag in the classroomBeaten for drinking water in common tapShown filthy water to satisfy thirstTold that his hair defiled a shaving razorNot allowed to learn Sanskrit
then such a child, who was a co-religionist like the other caste Hindus, could not have developed love towards such a religion that did not condemn these things.
Can the need to develop love for such a religion arise, if after becoming a doctor, professor, lawyer, member of Bombay legislative council, a person still had to face the following because of religion and caste, as did Dr. Ambedkar?
Refusal of room to stay in BarodaEngagement in legal battles for years, just to ensure the untouchables are granted the right to drink water from public wells and lakes.Denial of entry to temples
Could Dr. Ambedkar have loved Hinduism after witnessing the following:
Caste Hindus violating human rights to the extreme, strictly practising prohibited vocations mentioned in the Vedas, simultaneously being proud of their Dharmashastras which suggest molten lead should be poured into the ears of Shudras if they hear the recitation of the Vedas, their tongue cut off if they recite Vedic verses and eyes gouched for attempting to read them.Untouchables deprived of literacy and education by the caste Hindus.Proposal to divide untouchables equally among the Hindus and MuslimsDoctor's refusal to attend the needs of a pregnant untouchable lady, resulting in her deathUntouchables beaten by the Caste Hindus for serving and eating gheeUntouchables eating carrions, thrown out crumbs, removed carcass and treated as sub-humansTheir shadows, voice and touch being considered polluting and so not being given any employment in any field. Their dharma (forced on them) was to do the most unclean chores which no other caste Hindu would even think of doing.Caste Hindus not showing an iota of sympathy towards the untouchables.
Not only Dr. Ambedkar, why would any outcastes not hate the “religion” that had customs, because of which they had to endure such treatment?
Not allowed temple entry despite having the same “gods” as the caste Hindus.Not allowed to be priests since the duties of priesthood were reserved only for Brahmins who, even though could be defiled and corrupted were considered greater than the gods.Forced into unpleasant jobs like manual scavenging recognised to be the duty of untouchables onlySegregated and made to live in insanitary, dark cottages/locations.
(Even in this century the last two points are shamelessly inflicted on them)
To conclude, Dr Ambedkar regarded Hindu society as nothing but a composition of thousands of castes, contributing to a system of graded degradation that is now commonly referred to as the caste system.
In simple words, Hinduism = Casteism and Casteism=Hinduism ([LINKED_TEXT: What is, in detail, the Hindu religion?] [URL: https://www.quora.com/What-is-Hinduism-Can-it-be-defined/answer/Shekhar-Bodhakar])
I am equating Hinduism with casteism because:
1. If you ask ANY person who says that she/he comes from a a Hindu family, whether they have a caste identity or not, the answer will invariably be YES of course they do.
2. If you ask ANY person who doesn’t profess to have a caste identity what religion they belong to, they will never say Hinduism

Why are conservatives outraged when citizens get student loan relief, but are all for giant corporations being bailed out when they cannot repay their loans? | Oh, where to begin.
I don’t believe there is really much of a relationship between “student loan relief” and the bailout of corporations.
Many “conservatives” didn’t like bailing out the Corporations either. I believe it was Jimmy Carter (a Democrat) who bailed out Chrysler in 1979. I believe it was Barack Obama (a Democrat) who bailed out banks (to his credit, the government ended up showing a profit on that). I believe it was also Obama that did a 2nd bailout of Chrysler and also bailed out General Motors - Chrysler paid everything back that was loans to them. GM did not.
Student loans are taken out by the borrower knowingly and willingly - with a promise to the lending institution that they would pay that money back. The bank and the educational institution ostensibly did their jobs. The borrower is now pushing to have the taxpayer pay his loan. There will NEVER be a profit to the government from this action. No borrower is expected to “pay back” the government for their bailout.
Businesses that were “bailed out” were generally in trouble because of the condition of the Economy and the Government acted to prevent the enormous harm that would be faced by 10s of millions of Americans - and millions more around the world by their failure as a business. The money that was used to “bail out” those businesses were loans that were expected to be paid back. Chrysler and most of the banks did so. In fact, with the bank bailouts, as previously stated, the government even showed a profit.
If we are going to “forgive” student loans, how about we do the same for loans on automobiles (maybe on the purchase of EVs), or mortgages (maybe if I put solar panels on the house)?

Why are so many airlines upset at Emirates Airlines? | I live in Dubai, the home of Emirates Airlines. Let me give you my opinion. Of course, the airline is super aggressive with it marketing. However, they are the most expensive operating out of here and believe me, there are many options to fly out of Dubai. Yet, most people would fly Emirates if there is anyway they can afford the tickets. That is because you know you are in safe hands and well taken care off in case of delays and cancelled flights. Their food and service is pretty good too and they connect/transfer really well.
Looking at the rates from Dubai to Mumbai on Emirates, a flight time of 2:45 minutes costs about $1,000/- (the cheapest at the moment ) for a round trip departing today, Friday 9th August and returning on Tuesday, 13th August. The same route on the cheapest route/flight is about US$300/- for the same dates of travel.
Compare that to Emirates flying Dubai-JFK on 10th August and returning on 14th August at US$1,570/- for a 13 hour flight. So obviously they are charge higher on high traffic routes.
Delta charges US$1,400/- for the same route with a stop departing 11th August and returning on 16th August (couldn’t find flights on the same dates). Inspite of Delta charging a lower rate, most people prefer to fly Emirates. Infact, ive even seen rates that are half of Emirates when I compare my bookings from Dubai to JFK.
I’m sure there is a whole business angle that i an not qualified to comment on. But as a layman, this is what it looks like to me.
Now you do the math !

I started showing some courtesy by using spoon to have samosa. But as usual couldn't succeed in that. Each time I was trying to break the samosa into bites, I was not able to. So I kept the spoon aside and enjoyed the snack …having each bite with my hand.
Trust me you cannot get the taste unless your fingers are immersed into that chutney.

What do you want to say to Adam D'Angelo, the CEO of Quora? | I sometimes feel as though Mr. D’Angelo has ceded all control of mediation over questions about feminism to female moderators, believing perhaps that he is ill-equipped as a male to overrule the decisions of women on whether feminism questions are “insincere.”
Or perhaps he is concerned that he will be accused of some anti-female bias if he allowed any such decisions to be overruled by males.
For example, is it really proper to decide (on appeal beyond the bot) that it is insincere to ask how pro-choice feminists feel about women who might use abortion as a way to choose to only have male children? (I would point out that I am pro-choice; yet I can’t see why it is insincere to ask questions about how potential contradictions between values are resolved.)

What are some facts that sound like 'BS', but are actually true? | I had a minor faith crisis when I was about 15 years old. I was trying to read through all of The Book of Mormon, everything was going well until I got to the book of Ether…
I read about how they went to North America and began cultivating the land using elephants…. ELEPHANTS?!? Were there elephants in North America?!?
That seems absurd! I remember thinking. Elephants can’t even survive in North America can they? Not only that, but the Jaredites (a group of people mentioned in the Book of Mormon) wouldn’t have been able to bring them over from the middle east in their boats because their ships were too small, which means they would have had to already exist in North America when they arrived in about 3000BC!
A cold feeling began to swell inside my chest, as I began to realize that perhaps I was mistaken all along! Perhaps the faith I had grown up with my entire life was false. Perhaps the feeling of the Holy Spirit, which I had felt while reading the Book of Mormon up until this point, was nothing more than confirmation bias! Perhaps Joseph Smith was nothing more than a big old fraud.
What an oddly specific detail as well! Why did Joseph Smith even include elephants in his made up story? Why not leave the details out, and remove the risky possibility of being wrong in terms of historical fact?
As you can imagine, I began to search for more information about elephants in North America online immediately. I initially couldn’t find anything about elephants. But I came across some really interesting articles on Wikipedia about what the world was like around 3000BC.
Apparently most of Africa and Egypt were covered in dense jungle similar to the Amazon rainforest. The Pyramids were in the process of being built around this time.
And I also discovered that Mammoths are dated, as having lived in North America as early as 4000 years ago.
Which means that Mammoths in North America were actually contemporary with the Pyramids. Because the Pyramids are said to have been completed at around 2700BC!
That also puts Mammoths, and even other animals in the family Elephantidae, in North America at the same time as the Jaredites in the Book of Mormon. Which to my relief, meant that elephants in North America actually did exist! And not only that, but they would have been contemporary with the Jaredites from the Book of Mormon in Ether!
[LINKED_TEXT: Mammoth - WikipediaExtinct genus of mammals A mammoth is any species of the extinct elephantid genus Mammuthus . The various species of mammoth were commonly equipped with long, curved tusks . They lived from the Pliocene epoch (from around 5 million years ago) into the Holocene at about 4,000 years ago, and various species existed in Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America. Mammoths are more closely related to living Asian elephants than African elephants . The oldest mammoth representative, Mammuthus subplanifrons , appeared around five million years ago during the early Pliocene in what is now southern and eastern Africa. Later in the Pliocene, by about three million years ago, mammoths dispersed into Eurasia, eventually covering most of Eurasia before migrating into North America around 1.5–1.3 million years ago, becoming ancestral to the Columbian mammoth ( M. columbi ). The last species to emerge, the woolly mammoth ( M. primigenius ), developed about 400,000 years ago in East Asia, with some surviving on Russia's Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean , as well as possibly the Taymyr Peninsula on mainland Siberia , until as recently as roughly 3,700 to 4,000 years ago, still extant during the existence of the earliest civilisations in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia . Evolution The earliest known proboscideans , the clade that contains the elephants, existed about 55 million years ago around the Tethys Sea area. The closest relatives of the Proboscidea are the sirenians and the hyraxes . The family Elephantidae is known to have existed six million years ago in Africa, and includes the living elephants and the mammoths. Among many now extinct clades, the mastodon is only a distant relative of the mammoths, and part of the separate Mammutidae family, which diverged 25 million years before the mammoths evolved. [3] The following cladogram shows the placement of the genus Mammuthus among other proboscideans, based on hyoid characteristics: [4] Comparison of a woolly mammoth (left) and an American mastodon (right). Since many remains of each species of mammoth are known from several localities, it is possible to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the genus through morphological studies. Mammoth species can be identified from the number of enamel ridges on their molars; the primitive species had few ridges, and the amount increased gradually as new species evolved and replaced the former ones. At the same time, the crowns of the teeth became longer, and the skulls become higher from top to bottom and shorter from the back to the front over time to accommodate this. [5] Tooth of M. africanavus , one of the earliest known species of mammoth, from North Africa. The first known members of the genus Mammuthus are the African species Mammuthus subplanifrons from the Pliocene and Mammuthus africanavus from the Pleistocene . The former is thought to be the ancestor of later forms. Mammoths entered Europe around 3 million years ago; the earliest known type has been named M.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammoth] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammoth] |

Atheists, take a look around. Do you like the world science has lead you to? | On balance, yes.
I'm alive and fairly healthy at 66 and can expect to live into my 80s. Thanks to technology, i have a car, a phone and a computer. The phone lets me call people on another continent (and technology lets them travel there). The computer gives me access to just about all human knowledge. I could go on.
Without science, life would be what it used to be. Nasty, brutal, ignorant and short.Unfortunately, people are still people. Science can't fix stupid, vicious, etc. So this is a golden age only by comparison with anything which came before.
What does this have to do with Atheism? Are you damming your fellow theists by claiming they would ALL like to turn the clock back to the bronze age? Do you think Iran is a better place for being ruled over by priests?

Paul is alluding to the fact that the Jews (who by birth, as the children of Israel, and who were in a covenant relationship with God) were no longer righteous in God's eyes for observing the Mosaic Law. Instead, regardless of who they were, either Jew or of the nations, it was only by faith in the sacrifice and resurrection of the Christ, Jesus which made their worship acceptable to God. In fact, Paul goes on to say, in vs 21, that if they continued to observe the Mosaic Law including its sacrifices, then Jesus suffered and died for no reason.

Does Pink Floyd’s Dark side of the Moon album still have impact on today’s culture? | Yes, it's still enjoyable! The only impact it had at it's time was how good it was. ( The rest of what I wrote here was to answer the question about the significance and origin of the guitar in music pop and rock music. I guess it could fit here, sorta? I got the answers mixed up but one person upvoted it for this question so I left it. ) To fill the bridge! In the 50’s the predominant instrument to do that was the Saxsaphone. In the 60’s when bands became more guitar based it began to fill the bridge. It was already used in the Chicago style guitar blues and as English bands became more and more to get into the blues it was a natural, evolution to the solo. ( The bridge is the gap between verses to change from the way a song is structured, also lengthens the song. )

The main advantages of this approach are:
1) It does not consider time as a dimension.
2) It solves the problem of invariance of speed of light in all reference frames.
3) It is backed by hindu scriptures dated above 5000 years. Mandukya Upanishad and Turiya state of Lord Shiva are the examples.
4) its fundamental is mentioned in old Buddhist scripture Mahayana.
5) it has more potential to show coherence with Quantum Mechanics as temporal dimension is not considered.
6) it explains precession of perihelion of mercury.
7) there is minimal use of advanced mathematics.
8) Bullet cluster experiment and Quantum Hall effect supports the theory by depicting existence of fourth spatial dimension.

Is it unethical to tell an Alzheimer’s patient that they’re vacationing in an awesome place, rather than telling them they’re in a care facility—assuming they would take your word for it, feel happy, and not discover the lie? | We frequently had to lie to my grandmother during the decade she was dying from Alzheimers. At first it felt really wrong to be lying to this woman we all loved, but we realized after awhile that it was the humane thing to do. One example had to do with my aunt (my grandmother’s first born daughter) who had died unexpectedly and still quite young years before. Grandma would ask, “where’s Sarah, and why hasn’t she visited me for a long time?” We’d say, “grandma, Sarah died many years ago, you just forgot.” What would followed would be this horrible realization from grandma and she’d start sobbing and be inconsolable for a long period of time. Every time this happened it was like grandma was experiencing the death of her daughter all over again. It was cruel. We eventually got to the point where we’d start replying, “she couldn’t make it grandma, she’s really busy with work, but she said she’ll stop by as soon as she can.” This reply satisfied grandma and wouldn’t lead to the confused hysterics that would have occurred if we told her the truth.

What is the difference between lucid dreaming and astral projection? | I can’t answer from direct experience and can only go by research I’ve made and accounts I have heard/read.
So lucid dreaming is a widely accepted phenomena where one becomes aware in sleep. This is actually something I have had a single experience with when I was young. Basically, you’re dreaming as normal, and all of a sudden, something triggers you to shift into a state of wakeful consciousness to the point where you can recognise you’re dreaming.
At this point, you can influence the dream greatly with the power of your thought. This is of course great fun and certainly worth practicing in my view, something I am actively working on myself.
The key difference that arises between lucid dreaming and astral projection is that practitioners of astral projection all claim that it is happening in a completely different environment/dimension of existance, aside from simply in your mind as is the case with lucid dreaming. It could even be the case that lucid dreaming is in fact taking place in an altered state, but not to the same extent.
Whilst astral projection, one can in theory travel in real time around the earth (or a clone of earth which can vary in detail) and even view and visit friends, family or strangers. There have been several accounts of astral projectors who have viewed an event, and later verified it’s authenticity.
There is a lot of evidence to suggest that there is certainly something to astral projection and the out of body experience that’s worth exploring, but unfortunately is seems that objectively measuring validations is a very difficult thing to do, which leads most to simply dismiss it as an illusion. It may very well be, but to me there is enough evidence to warrant thinking about.

Regularly vacuuming your [LINKED_TEXT: rug] [URL: https://www.hometeriors.com/rugs/] will help remove dirt and debris that can build up over time. Be sure to use the right attachment for your vacuum to avoid damaging the fur.
Spot clean stains immediately
If you notice a stain on your rug, it's important to clean it as soon as possible. Mix a small amount of mild detergent with water and use a clean, white cloth to blot the stain. Be sure to blot the stain, rather than scrubbing it, to avoid damaging the fur.
Brush the fur
Use a soft bristle brush to gently brush the fur in the direction it grows. This will help remove any dirt or debris that is trapped in the fur and give the rug a fluffy, fresh appearance.
Dry the rug thoroughly
After cleaning your rug, be sure to dry it thoroughly. If the rug is left wet, it can become musty and develop an unpleasant odor. You can either hang the rug to dry or use a hair dryer on a low heat setting to dry the fur.
Store the rug properly
When not in use, it's important to store your faux rabbit fur area rug properly. Keep it in a cool, dry place and avoid storing it in direct sunlight or humid conditions.

Chaos and panic broke out all around small villages surrounding the plant, the first reaction was suffocation, burning of eyes, cough, vomiting and blurred vision. More than 3000 people perished by morning and more than 50000 treated in the hospitals in the next few days.
Birds, animals along with humans fallen prey to this poisonous substance.
When figures of death due to gas tragedy crossed 21,000, the government stopped maintaining death registers for the dead.
Even after 33 years of tragedy, the victims were not adequately compensated by Dow Chemicals who owned Union Carbide of India and the Government of India also a stake holder turned a blind eye to the sufferers.
Day in and day out, the victims who lost their fathers, mothers, sons and daughters fighting for the compensation.
Rachna Dhingra of the Bhopal Group for Information and Action said, “Recent scientific studies show that deaths and diseases attributable to exposure to Union Carbide’s gases continue to occur in Bhopal. Yet, over 80% of the recommendations of the Supreme Court-appointed monitoring committee for medical rehabilitation of victims remain to be implemented.” All most 5,00,000 effected by the Bhopal gas leak and nearly 42 settlements with a population of 1,00,000 effected after 2004 with contamination of resources like water and food.
Against the recommendation of supreme court a pittance delivered to the victims which is not even sufficient to meet the hospital expneses of victims. Despite innumerable associations and NGOs fighting on behalf of victims to garner sufficient compensation, either state government or central governement are not taking any concrete action to alleviate the aggrieved parties.
The human life, emotions, sentiments were took an umbrage by the apathetic attitude of an avaricious Company of a wealthy nation tried to implement its writ on people of poorer sections of a third world country ruthlessly .
Bhopal gas tragedy will remain as one of the worst human made tragedies of modern times in which people of an impoverished country were treated like guinea pigs by a multinational company.
Thousands of people died in the Bhopal gas tragedy, even after 33 years of tragedy, the sufferers were not evenly compensated.
Death did not spare even animals and birds.
Scores died, blinded and suffered with respiratory problems.
Despite their untiring fight, the victims of Bhopal gas tragedy were not properly compensated.

What do hotels do with used soap? | What do hotels do with used soap?
Very simple! If the soap and shampoos are used most times the cleaners are told to just throw them out, but if I said that was the only thing they did with it I would be lying! Some hotels send their half-used soaps to companies such as Clean the World. They take the old soap and melt it down to make new bars of soap. The work Clean the World is doing is impressive: In 2016, they made more than 7 million bars of soap and 400,000 hygiene kits. Of these bars of soap, 500,000 went to help those affected by Hurricane Matthew in Haiti and the Bahamas. The company also works with half-used shampoo, body wash, and conditioner bottles. These items are closely inspected (bottles must be 3/4 full), emptier bottles are recycled, and then they are included in the hygiene kits — which also include toothbrushes, toothpaste, and hand sanitizer — before being distributed to homeless shelters all over the globe. You can find Clean the World's warehouses in India, Las Vegas, Hong Kong, Orlando, and Montreal.
Hope this answers your question! -OP out!

*Edit* 7/16/2020 Well I've put off making too many edits or I would have done one every day to say thank you for the support. So I'll say it maybe a few more times :)… Thank you for all the support and kind words in the comments. I enjoy reading your comments and also thanks for sharing similar organizations such as Sundara Soap. Also I want to give a special thanks to Danilo Renzi who translated this answer into Spanish. I can hardly speak English well let alone another language.
You can follow me, but you might not see to much of this content since my specialty is dealing with technology. I also won't answer any questions before I've done appropriate research and/or have knowledge of beforehand. The only reason I personally know about Clean the World is through one of my buddies.
So thank you. Hope you guys have yet another wonderful day, stay positive, and stay healthy. Peace out.
*Edit* 7/19/2020 Some of you asked who participates in the donation of soap so I'm going to link you a Clean the World blog about Hilton.

*Edit* 7/29/2020 Some people have mentioned in the comments that most hotels are moving to dispensers for the shampoo and conditioner. Well this is true, however this does not really affect Clean the World since they mostly focus on bars of soap.
Thank you guys for the feedback and positive support. Have yet another wonderful day and stay safe.

Why can you only fold a paper in half seven times, no matter the size? | Simple molecular physics prevents 7 folds of paper before it can be further folded without ripping it apart.
