Will the megacomet heading towards Earth hit Earth? | C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein) is heading toward its closest approach to the Sun, but its “closest approach” is not very close at all. It will never come within 1 billion miles of the Sun or the Earth.
Let me say this more clearly: The comet will miss us by 1 billion miles. It will never come anywhere even remotely close to Earth.
Planetary scientists find Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein fascinating because it is so much larger than the usual comet. It appears to be a visitor from the Oort Cloud, originating more than 4 trillion miles from the Sun — about 2/3 of a light-year away! It’s exciting to have an object like this come close enough to the Sun that we can see it and study it. But it is coming “close” only in a relative, astronomical sense. In human terms, the comet is an extremely distant object. At its closest it will be 4,000 times as far as the Moon, and about 400 times as far as Venus passes every 18 months.
How much do you worry about getting clonked on the head by Venus every other year? Well, take that worry and divide it by 400. This comet poses exactly zero, ZERO risk to anyone on Earth. We should be celebrating it, not fearing it, because this really is an amazing object:

What are your silly little parenting tricks that you're so glad you discovered? | I always thought shopping with 5 kids at Wal-Mart would be insane until I figured out that if I told them I’d get each of them a container of mini M&M’s if they were good shopping but if any acted up, no one got anything. They made a habit of keeping each other in line that way.

How does the number porting process work in the USA? | WARNING: Prepare for acronym overload!
Your new service provider (the “Winning Carrier”) submits a request to your current service provider (the “Losing Carrier”). This request is called a Local Service Request or LSR. An LSR typically includes contact and other information for the winning carrier, your subscriber info (including address, account number, and PIN), and a Requested Due Date (RDD). There is no centralized clearing house or database for this part of the process. If the two providers do not have an Interconnect Agreement (ICA), you will not be able to port your number. Based on the LSR information, the Losing Carrier will either approve or reject the order. The only legitimate basis for rejection is incorrect subscriber information (to prevent your number from being ported by accident or stolen). If the LSR is approved, the Winning Carrier enters the order into the NPAC system (function of the NPAC system is too complicated to explain here), and the Losing Carrier “concurs”. At this point, your number is considered to have a Firm Order Commitment (FOC) date and time (usually the RDD on the LSR). When the time of your FOC arrives, the number is activated with the Winning Carrier by NPAC. The major mobile operators have a system in place to streamline and expedite this process. You can usually get your number ported in a matter of minutes. Landline and VoIP do not, so be prepared to wait.

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? | The “red suits” are only one of several uniforms hanging in the wardrobe. Here are some lads from the Guards in combat in Afghanistan:
So yes, they are trained “to take down threats”. They’re some of the British army’s elite infantry regiments, with colours bearing battle honours going back hundreds of years:
When they’re not stomping up and down in front of Buck House they’re likely to be deployed overseas stomping up and down on Britain’s enemies.

Is PHP difficult to learn? | Well, having mastered PHP and thence having bagged a high-paying Back-End Web Development job fresh out of college at Airbnb(US $96,100), by showcasing to the recruiters my command over PHP - an open-source server-side scripting language that is embedded in HTML and is used to manage dynamic content, databases, session tracking; as well as my grasp on the other aspects of web development, by the means of my developed project, I would state that PHP in itself is pretty simple to acquire skills in and can be successfully mastered in a fairly short span of time. However, there is a caveat.
As a beginner, much of the learner’s capability to grasp the technicalities of the subject lies in the hands of the tutor and the manner in which the course is delivered. Inefficient coaching can pretty quickly cause the learner to lose interest in the subject. In worst cases, this can significantly alter the direction of one’s career. Frankly, I too learned these lessons the hard way.
Well, to master PHP, I had left no stone unturned. I had learnt from plethora of courses, books, PDF material, etc., but I always used to hit a wall a few days into the learning. In most cases, I felt that the author/tutor was in a hurry to get to the end of the course and was not educating the rationale behind writing those pieces of code and assuming that one is well versed with programming in PHP. But, that is not the case with someone who is a beginner.
Here, I am sharing the link to the course that helped me master PHP programming, you would find it useful - [LINKED_TEXT: My Preferred PHP Learning Resource] [URL: https://allaboutphp.quora.com/My-Preferred-PHP-Learning-Resource-1]
See, when it comes to gaining skills in PHP, it is imperative to decide on an effective resource - the one that makes the learning curve linear and progresses on difficult topics only after providing enough insights and examples on the concepts the one that explains why the program is executing the way it is, the one that discusses the questions asked by recruiters in interviews of top organizations, the one that considers that students are new to the domain and are not well adept with PHP programming environment, the one that provides in-course support in the form of solving the doubts the students might have in a concept or while solving practice problems.
I wish to bring to light that in my initial days of learning, I resorted to free video tutorials available online. But, over the time I realized that a major issue with learning from them is that they being ‘free and open for all’ community, attract lots of creators who are considering to make a quick buck. Content quality of such tutorials is questionable. Also, one cannot prove one’s grasp on the subject to potential employers, due to no provision of obtaining certificate for the courses completed on those platforms. This may hinder one’s career, especially in cases where employer has set a criteria of choosing candidates with relevant degree/certificate.
Moreover, in several resources, I found that while solving programming questions/explaining a concept, the author applies a logic that has not been taught yet. This leads the learner to skip to those sections of the tutorial where that particular topic is discussed. The concepts taught in those sections in turn apply logic that belongs to another concept, discussed in another part of the resource. Often, this is a repetitive cycle.
Those who wish to read more about my journey of how I, a complete amateur in several aspects of web development including PHP, mastered the subject, and eventually bagged a high-paying job in one of the leading Telecom companies, here I am sharing it in detail - [LINKED_TEXT: My PHP Learning Journey] [URL: https://allaboutphp.quora.com/My-Detailed-PHP-Learning-Journey-1]

What is something that you will never do? | Hate me or not-
I will never understand the concept of alpha/beta/Sigma/gamma male. No offense, but what does it mean?
Does it make men more masculine? Well, if so, then they're masculine since the day they are born. Because I don't think that males have XX chromosomes.
Does it make men more confident? Then, confidence comes with practice, not by watching podcasts of so-called “masculine men.”
Does it make men more dominant? Nope, it rather creates a fussy crybaby who keeps crying “I'm an alpha male.”
A man by my father's definition is someone who has self-respect, has a righteous sense of judgment, knows how to respect others, and is extremely skillful.
Becoming a millionaire, and hitting the gym, should be done for yourself. Not for becoming an alpha male. Be a millionaire for yourself, hit the gym for yourself. Not for the sake of becoming an “alpha male.’ Watching masculinity videos online, and daydreaming of being an alpha male or sigma male makes you a devout unemployed.
“Barking dogs seldom bite”.
Similarly, crybabies who cry “alpha male" are never one.
Men who disrespect random women, always look for s*x and bully innocent men are degenerate pieces of shit, not men. And then those bullied men get over and begin to think of how to become more “masculine.” No, my brother, you are a man. You just grew up in the wrong environment. Have high self-respect and beat them down next time. And that doesn't come from demeaning others, blaming your fate, watching podcasts, and all.
I used to have a friend, who had told me that his brother is becoming more feminine and he needs the training to be “more masculine.”
After listening to that, I was like “wtf bro, he is only 11.”
Found this on Quora only, :p

What is served as breakfast in your country? | I grew up on a Northern Ireland farm where us boys joined our dad of an early morning to milk the 10 or so cows by hand.
Later, when we had placed the filled milk churns in the natural cold spring water to await the local milk truck to collect them, we all entered the farmhouse kitchen for breakfast.
Mom would have steaming porridge bowls awaiting us which, when well sugared and copiously covered in milk, fresh from the cow, we settled down for our first course.
This was followed by a “fried breakfast” comprising eggs, bacon, fried bread and lots of tea (no coffee for us in the 1950s).
That is what we farmers called a grand wee Irish breakfast.

What is your review of 'Dil Bechara' (2020 movie)? | **So, the movie for which Everyone had been waiting since so long to see Sushant Singh Rajput for one last time**
This movie is about two People Manny(Sushant Singh Rajput) and Kizie Basu(Sanjana Sanghi) who are suffering from Cancer and they know that they are going to die one day.
Kizie is quite and simple girl who has no friends, no enjoyment and living a boring life but on the other hand, Manny is a fun personality who wants to live the life to the fullest. They both meet and the story starts.
This movie is a copy of Hollywood movie “The Fault in our Stars”. In the whole movie, you will see Sushant’s wonderful acting. No doubt, He was a tremendous actor. His smile and dimples are the ones to die for. He proved that he could play any role. When you see him in the movie, it soothes your eyes and at times, you will get teary eyes thinking that you are seeing him for the last time. He is exactly same in the movie as he was in real life, simple and cheerful.
I remember one dialogue from the movie that says”Janam kab hai or marna kab hai, ye hum decide nahi karte, par jeena kese hai vo hum decide kar sakte hai”.
There are so many moments in the movie which are just lovable and calm. In one scene, both Manny and kizie cry because they are so in love but they know they will not end up together. In another scene, when Manny tries to kiss kizie for fun, she says “first kiss is always special” and the irony is they never got the right moment to kiss.
Sanjana sanghi’s acting is so genuine. You will going to love her acting and her smile. She did a really good job and I wish that she will get more movies in future to showcase her acting more.
The movie is overall beautiful and a must watch. You will going to learn a lot from this movie.
I don’t want to rate this movie because even if there is any fault in the movie, Sushant’s smile and acting fill that void. :)

What's your favourite British myth or legend? | The Angels of Mons, by a country mile.
In September 1914 Arthur Machen published a short story called The Bowmen, in which phantom English bowmen, ghosts from Agincourt, come to the aid of the British fighting in the Battle of Mons, which took place in August 1914. In the story, a soldier calls upon St George, and the bowmen appear to destroy the enemy.
It was fiction, it was never anything but fiction, Machen was a fiction writer. But it was written in the first person, and the newspaper that published it failed to label it correctly. As a result there were requests from readers for more detail and verification. Machen replied to them all saying “No, no, this was fiction” – he was no hoaxer.
And still. By the following year descriptions uncannily reminiscent of Machen’s story had started appearing in “true” accounts of the battle, together with reports of German soldiers’ bodies with arrows, or arrow wounds. They were recorded in memoirs as things the authors had heard others reporting - all third hand stuff. It got uncritically revived in the late 20th century for a while, in a general upsurge of woo, which is when I became aware of it.
A full-on Slenderman phenomenon from a century past! I love the way it feels so current. Machen came to hate the story, poor man.
(A similar thing happened with David Langford’s novella, An Account of a Meeting with Denizens of Another World 1871, presented in the text introduction as a manuscript found in an old desk – both the purported narrator and the desk were real – but clearly identified as fiction in the copyright page. Whitley Streiber, among others, took it for reality and even failed to clock the author name when Langford wrote to him after Streiber cited the story as actual fact, without credit, in Majestic. It isn’t quite a ‘legend’ (yet), but you clearly have to be very careful with jokes about the supernatural. People just want to believe.)

x^{2}+y^{2}=2 | The formula that we have to use is
(x + y)^2 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy.
x + y = 2 ———(1)
x^2 + y^2 = 2 ———(2)
Now,
( x + y )^2 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy ———(3)
If you substitute Equation (1) in Equation (3), you get Equation (4)
( 2 )^2 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy
4 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy ———(4)
If you substitute Equation (2) in Equation (4), you get -
4 = 2 + 2xy
4 - 2 = 2xy
2 = 2xy
1 = xy
Therefore, xy = 1.
Hope this helps. :)

Kevin de Bruyne, still recovering from a two-and-a-half month lay-off with a knee ligament injury, left the pitch clutching at his leg in tonight's match with Fulham. How much will it affect Manchester City if he has a recurrence of his old injury? | I would argue not greatly. Man City have tremendous depth in every position on the pitch. Bernardo Silva and David Silva occupy the two more advanced of the three midfield positions at the moment with other players such as Mahrez, Foden and Gundogan able to play here too. De Bruyne’s absence won’t matter as long as City continue to win

Why do cats abandon their owners? | When I was about 13 we had a gorgeous long hair cat. He was beautiful. But he was also very violent. He would attack my leg for no reason. He would attack my sister for no reason. He wasn't a cuddler and hated being held. My mom saw how much he was hurting us that she decided he would be an outside cat. Turns out he wanted to be outside. He embraced it. He ran away and we didn't see him for years. Then one day, we saw him walking so casually down the back road behind the houses. He was dirty but he didn't have a care in the world. He still knew his name, he would turn to look at us when we called him, but he didn't need is. He was great being the feral cat he always was.

Can you take control of your blood sugar? | How To Control Your Blood Sugar Naturally
Lowering high blood sugar levels is crucial for individuals with Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. Making lifestyle changes can have a significant impact on blood sugar levels and overall health. Here are seven effective strategies to consider:
1. Leave sugary beverages on the shelf: Sugar-sweetened beverages like energy drinks, fruit-flavored drinks, juice, soda, and sports drinks can cause blood sugar spikes. Limiting or eliminating these beverages from your diet can help lower blood sugar levels and aid in weight management.2. Be carb smart: Carbohydrates can affect blood sugar levels, so it's essential to be mindful of your carb intake. Focus on nutrient-dense, high-fiber, complex carbs like beans, lentils, berries, fruits, Greek yogurt, sweet potatoes, and whole grains. Balancing carbs with non-starchy vegetables and lean proteins can help control blood sugar spikes.

3. Eat balanced meals: Pairing carbohydrates with other foods like vegetables and proteins can slow down the absorption of sugar and prevent sharp increases in blood sugar levels.4. Get moving: Regular physical activity is beneficial for managing blood sugar levels and overall health. Aim for at least 30 minutes of cardio or aerobic exercise three to five times a week. Start slowly and gradually increase the duration and intensity of your workouts.5. Bust your stress: Stress can impact blood sugar levels, so finding healthy ways to cope with stress is essential. Engage in hobbies, exercise, or talk therapy to manage stress effectively. Avoid coping mechanisms like overeating or excessive alcohol consumption that can negatively affect blood sugar.6. Be a glucose detective : Monitoring your blood sugar levels regularly using a glucometer can help you identify trends and problem areas. It allows you to make adjustments to your lifestyle and treatment plan accordingly.7. Quit smoking: Smoking can raise blood sugar levels and increase the risk of complications. Quitting smoking is essential for better blood sugar management and overall health.

While these natural methods can be effective, some people may not see immediate results. It's important to take a long-term approach to blood sugar management, as lifestyle changes may take several weeks or months to show significant improvements.
It's also essential to be cautious about natural remedies claiming to lower blood sugar. Many of these remedies lack scientific evidence and may not be safe, especially when combined with diabetes medications. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medications or natural remedies.
If home remedies and lifestyle changes don't lead to improvements in blood sugar levels, it's time to schedule an appointment with your doctor. A healthcare provider can assess your situation, identify any underlying issues, and discuss additional treatment options to better manage your blood sugar and overall health.
In conclusion, if you have Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, you can try several natural methods to lower your blood sugar. By making dietary changes, engaging in regular physical activity, managing stress, and monitoring blood sugar levels, you can improve your overall health and reduce the risk of complications associated with high blood sugar. Remember that lifestyle changes take time, and it's crucial to work closely with your healthcare provider to ensure a safe and effective approach to blood sugar management.

What is the equation of the cubic polynomial that has roots -4 and 2i? | A cubic polynomial has three roots (not necessarily distinct). So you need one more root in order to detemine the polynomial. Therefore , either [math]-4[/math] is a double root. or [math]2i[/math] is a double root, or we must find a third root. In any case, if the roots are [math]a[/math], [math]b[/math], and [math]c[/math], then the polynomial is [math](x-a)·(x-b)·(x-c)[/math] (or a multiple thereof), because this product is 0 if and only if at least one of the factors is 0.
So if you dont’t know anything about the third root, you can assume an arbitrary complex number [math]a+bi[/math] to be the third root, and then compute [math](x+4)·(x-2i)·(x-a-bi)[/math] — finished. The result will be a polynomial with complex coefficients, depending on [math]a[/math] and [math]b[/math].
If we know that the polynomial has no other roots than [math]-4[/math] and [math]2i[/math], then either[math] -4[/math] or [math]2i[/math] are double roots, and we can write the polynomial as [math](x+4)^2·(x-2i)[/math] (if [math]-4[/math] is the double root) or as[math] (x+4)·(x-2i)^2[/math] (if [math]2i[/math] is the double root). In both cases, the result will also be a polynomial with complex coefficients.
However, if we are looking for a polynomial with real coefficients (and I assume that this is what your homework wants you to find), we remember that complex roots of polynomials with real coefficients appear always in pairs: if [math]a+bi[/math] is a root of a real polynomial, then [math]a-bi[/math] is a root as well. So, in your case, one complex root is [math]2i[/math] (or [math]0+2i[/math]); so [math]0–2i[/math] or [math]-2i[/math] is the third root. Then, the polynomial reads
[math](x+4)·(x-2i)(x+2i) [/math]
[math]=(x+4)(x^2+4)[/math]
[math]=x^3+4x^2+4x+16[/math]

The player is taken through a simulation of the first game made to make a soldier. Also, the games advertising was purposefully made to only reveal content about the first mission, which is only about 2 hours of playtime.
It is trickful information
The games antagonist’s goal is to stop the patriots, which control the information that is sent to the media. He tries to stop something like the situatuion of MGS2, the consumers were tricked to believe they were playing a new game, but at the end it is revealed that it is a simulation of the first game.
Also, at the almost end, there is a big speech speaking about the era which the antangonist tries to avoid, an era with information censorship, where the government (the patriots) select the information which reaches the masses in order to manipulate them.
According to some people, this time is like that. And according to many other, MGS2 has predicted the present.

What's your single best piece of advice for anyone? | I always want to ‘Thank you’ my ex-Team Lead for one random advice which helped me a lot in my career. Now I think this is the best place to Thank him and write my story.
It was Oct, 2020. When I was working with Wipro. One day, I connected with my lead over 1:1 call.
Minal: - Sir, I’ve prepared a plan to up-skill myself. Which will help me in longer run.
Sir : That’s great, would you mind sharing with me?
Minal: Definitely Sir, I will be learning a language [C#] and .Net. This will help me looking for new opportunities as well.
Sir: I am happy for your plan, but I think this is not a good plan.
Now the advice time.[Next few lines are really important advice]
I would suggest, you focus more on Problem solving skills which involves DSA, System Design and reading technical blogs of companies and see how they solved big problems instead of learning any framework and languages. These things are not gonna remain same but when you build your skills you can learn anything new.
Well that time it was overwhelming for me because I never introduced to DSA prior to this but I took this advice as a challenge and started an year challenge for my self.
Prepared a plan for 3 - 3 months.Spend a lot of time learning these things. Up skilling my self.
So to conclude, this is some random advice from my senior which turned the tables for me. So I’m now a big believer of this. “Any one can advice you and can turn things for you”.
Time to thank him again- “Thank you, Sir”
Best,
Dexter

How many gun owners have actually stopped a crime from being committed by using a gun? | On the order of a million times a year.I have twice. Once in my thirties. Once in my forties.No shots fired, but the clear presence of my gun, discreetly not aimed at them, was an immediate deterrent. Both times, the victim would have been me.

Without looking at a map, how well can you draw the shape of your country? | I decided that I wouldn’t only not look at a map, but also not look at all, and do the whole thing completely blind. I kept my thumb in the Yukon’s northwest so I knew roughly where to reconnect the line I’d drawn, then drew the provincial borders with my eyes open because I’m not nearly that skilled.
It’s not awful for a map drawn while not being able to see, but I suppose it could be worse. I hope it is clear that a.) I moved my thumb, b.) I don’t pay nearly as much attention to the Maritimes as I should, and c.) islands are hard ok???

I have a fairly basic understanding of Python. But now I want to learn C++. Does this require me to learn C first? | No, not really. Of course, you will need to learn SOME of the things you would learn in C too, but you also don’t need to learn a lot of “you don’t really use this in C++” stuff (like the C-style strings - you need to know they exist and you will need to know how to “create one from a C++ std::string”, but you don’t need to know hot create one, copy one, substring one, etc). Memory allocation is also different and several other things.
Bear in mind that C++ is not the easiest of languages to learn - yes, you can get going and learn to do simple stuff quite easily, but it “has little in terms of safety-net”, so if you do dumb stuff, the compiler may not say “this is dumb”, it will just let you do the dumb stuff and then you have to figure out what you got wrong yourself.
Eventually, you will, if you work on enough different C++ projects, encounter code that is “using C++ as a C compiler”, and you will need to understand the C style C++ code that you find there. But for starting, that’s not required to learn C++ as such - it’s no different from finding that someone wrote parts of the code in C and parts in Fortran, or something like that.
Make sure you learn from a source that is teaching modern C++ - minimum C++11 standard, even better if it’s C++17 (C++14 has a few nice things, but it’s really not that much better than C++11). If the teaching material is based around Turbo C++, stay way clear of it - that’s not even the first 1998 standard of C++ - and that standard came out 25 years back!

Would it be better to know who New York City graffiti artist Banksy is, or is his mystery identity part of his art? | I was reading some content on Banksy from 2008, some on Quora, where people clearly knew who he was. At that time he was thoroughly disliked by Americans and there was all kinds of namecalling, pinko, lefty, commie ….This typically happens when successful artists are entering the frame - because what they are doing is challenging. It happened to Damien Hirst.
It’s not important that people know who Banksy is. I’d go so far to say that people don’t want to know now as it would damage his street rep.
People in London treat his murals like national treasures now and most are protected behind plexiglass. Its a question though of whether you see this on a par with classical and modern art because at the moment it exists slightly to the side and outside of galleries.
[SPOILER] The whole thing is a charade though (a very clever one), cooked up by people pushing his art. As long as people are interested in what he does they will continue to buy or go to see his work.
The work takes the ‘I could do that’ in contemporary art to a new level - which is not always good. But most of his work takes an objective lateral slant to preexisting artworld ideas-in a good way.
His identity is in the signature of his work, his sly wit and poking fun at the art establishment - this is nothing too new but he's making it mainstream. The mystique is bound the fact that he is creating images that make sense to the broadest swath of people, he is breaking the rules (naughty) and making profound political statements aimed at world leaders and should be found and punished(!!).

How can we find stocks for swing trading and positional trading? | Swing trading is a brief-time period trading technique that may be used when trading stocks and alternatives. whereas Day buying and selling positions final less than someday, Swing trading positions typically final to 6 days, however might also last as long as weeks.
The goal of swing trading is to become aware of the overall trend after which capture profits with swing trading inside that trend. Technical evaluation is regularly used to help buyers take benefit of the current trend in a safety and with a bit of luck enhance their trades.
Right here are some of the most famous strategies employed by means of swing traders
Momentum buying and selling
A inventory is said to have momentum when the inventory charge starts off evolved to move in a single direction and is followed by way of a excessive quantity of trading quantity. This strategy requires the dealer to leap on board quickly after the momentum begins after which journey the wave for some time. cautious although, stay too long and momentum may want to swing inside the opposite course, but soar too soon and you could miss out on capacity earnings. A glad medium is to set a desired profit and prevent there, think of the youngsters.
Essential buying and selling
The crux of fundamental trading is evaluation. fundamentals are the building blocks of a business and their inventory rate can be associated with its activities. The evaluation is available in whilst a trader examines the anticipated impact of adjustments like inventory splits, acquisitions and earnings reports. while good news is probably assumed to be met with a upward thrust in stock fee, you in no way pretty realize how the marketplace will react to any information - use warning. fundamental trading is just like everyday trading, but taking area in an extremely short time body.
Scalping
these buyers aren’t selling their shares last minute out of doors the area. as an alternative, they're in it for the small benefit. A scalper will make hundreds of trades an afternoon, but best make a small gain whenever. This approach is powerful due to what’s known as the bid-ask unfold. essentially, there's a small difference among the best price one is willing to pay and the lowest charge for which a supplier is inclined to sell it. It’s sort of like a middle guy method. It takes a few finesse to be a scalper, but not like the price ticket scalpers you locate looking to make a short greenback, stock market scalpers can make plenty of money.
What are the excellent indicators for swing trading?
Trend: 50 and 200-day EMA.
Relative Strength: Stochastics (14,7,3)
Momentum: MACD (12.26.9)
Volume: On-Balance Volume (OBV)
The Bottom Line.
Position Trading
A position trading is a kind of stock dealer who holds a function for the long time . long-time period investors aren't involved with brief-term fluctuations due to the fact they agree with that their long-time period funding horizons will clean these out.
Basic Position Trading Strategy
Even though a role trade can be held for an extended time frame, it calls for 3 elements to be successful: a deliberate entry, a planned exit, and controlled chance.
The simple method is to buy while the price crosses above a 40-week moving average from under. keep the position until a weekly charge bar closes beneath the forty-week moving common. whilst the change is to begin with placed, a stop loss is used to cap the quantity that is misplaced have to it immediately pass in an adverse path. where this is placed relies upon at the volatility of the asset and the time frame of the trader. putting a prevent loss 5% below the moving average will serve to shield capital but nonetheless allow for upside capacity.

What does a CEO of a start-up do? What does a typical day look like? What are their responsibilities? What do they do to grow their company every day? | As CEO of a startup business, you have to do everything. It means, that you are the graphic designer, public relations officer, human resource, developer, marketer and also identify a vision. You can just hire a professional. After researching quite a lot of platforms, I must say I am pretty impressed with what [LINKED_TEXT: this platform ] [URL: http://bit.ly/2sL7Kfr]have done with their SEO module in reference to their e-business platform. They have created something that they call beyond SEO, which have tools built in for article spinning as well as rich snippets which uses a social review system of Yopto, also when people search on your site with their cart, that search term generates a page on the web for you increasing future traffic.
Disclosure: I am a consultant for online businesses and have reviewed this platform.

Is there any violation for a scientific research paper to be self-cited more than 90% of the total citation count by the author himself/herself? Or any universal acceptable limit on the percentage of self-citation? | As others have noted, there is no universal acceptable limit or standard on the percentage of self-citations. It is really up to the reviewers to decide, and in a sense, the community to decide what is acceptable or not. I'll give an example to shed light on the subject, though, and fuel some discussion.
So, as a reviewer, I had one paper where the author cited his works 40 times out of his 90 references. That person even found a way to work in citations to his works that were clearly only loosely relevant to the technical work in the paper. So, in the review, I called that author out on this. I flippantly responded in a review something to the effect of "The manuscript has cited the author’s works 40 times, which is clearly excessive. The author should refrain from trying to cite all of their works." To which, the author replied, "I have published over 150 papers in this area--I have clearly not cited ALL my works, only a small percentage." The truth is, though, the paper and the work were actually good and novel and well-written and well-analyzed and thorough literature review, so... In the end, this isn't really a fight that I wanted or needed to take on. Now, if the editor and other reviewer(s) also had problems with this, then maybe I would have stood firm on this point. But, it happens and it happens because the system is set up to reward those with high numbers of publications and high numbers of citations, even if they are self-citations. I don't feel differently about this researcher from this review/manuscript or hold it against them, they are still doing great work in the field.
I do think at some point, it may become tacky to cite your own work an exorbitant amount, but what is that? As a percentage of total citations? 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%... If that is the case, the strategy is clearly to bump up the total number of citations as well. Would I have felt differently about the above work if the author cited 40 works of their own and 45 works total? Yeah! I would probably point out that there are only 5 works around the globe that aren't yours that are related to this work? Seriously!?! Or, is it the total number? Is 10 too excessive? 15, 20, 25, 40? What is excessive? How blatant are the self-citations? Do they come up in the course of the manuscript, i.e., in the discussion to back up statements and points that are made? Distributed throughout the manuscript? or is it in the first grand sentence - "There are many groundbreaking works in this research area [1-40, all me!]."
One trick is that authors may self cite often in publications that aren't really going to be noticed by others. Like a non-peer-reviewed conference publication, or a predatory journal. You know, something that is indexed (to increase your citation count) but not really seriously considered by your community. wink, wink. You know, so you get all the benefits of increased citation counts without the backlash from the community. Ha ha! You just have to laugh at people that would use those tactics.
To me, 90% is excessive in any context though. It may even generate the opposite response intended. That is, that the tackiness of only citing your own works may turn off the community in such a way that they don't want to cite your work and fuel your ego, which in turn further necessitates that the self-citer needs to publish and self-cite at a high percentage to "appear" relevant.
Last point. So, I hit over 600 citations last year. Self-citations? I don't even know, I may have a dozen or two dozen in there. But my point is that if you really want to establish yourself in the community and have longevity, the trick is to do great work and get OTHERS to cite your work. I would have had to write an awful lot of papers to find a way to cite myself 600 times. So, in my opinion, this whole self-citation strategy that some people have is not going to get them there in the end.

What are the arguments for and against whether a human fertilized egg at the moment of conception is a person or not? | It doesn’t matter.
No one has the right to demand that another person surrender their body to them. I cannot approach a random person and demand that they take care of me for 9 months, feeding me, housing me, suffering indignities and painful hormonal changes, only to end with me torturing them for several hours before finally leaving.
It’s not about if the fetus a person, it’s about whether or not the woman is a person.
I say they are.

Why did George Washington choose to be "George Washington, President of the United States" and not "George I, King of the United States"? | Washington had a serious Cincinnatus complex. That means that if you want to be the big cheese, you have thereby shown yourself unfit for the job. The leader must be begged to take the job. It is a duty, not a goal and to be given up quickly. [Thus the story of Cincinnatus, who was elected Roman dictator for 60 days, won a war, resigned his dictatorship and was back on his farm before the 60 days were done. An inspiring story even if he was a fairly typical politician until his son got killed in a political riolt-The Romans of the day took their politics seriously. He took that hard and had as little to do with politics as he could thereafter.] Since he wanted to model himself on Cincinnatus, Washington had little choice, but to be reluctant to hold office. [Of course, a century or more of following American politicians were more “reluctant” than reluctant.]

What are some effective software tools that an inside sales team can use to boost productivity? | In order to boost your sales, it’s important to get a clear overview of how your team is performing as a whole. The first step to creating a successful sales strategy is to organize the data you have currently, so you can determine the greatest skills and areas for improvement within your team.
One great way to track this data is with a reporting feature. While reporting features are present in many project management softwares, ClickUp is certainly one platform worth strongly considering.
[LINKED_TEXT: ClickUp’s reporting feature] [URL: https://clickup.com/reporting] has six different views to give you a comprehensive overview of who is working on what, who is conquering their tasks, and who may need some further motivation. Here are of a few of these views:
Time Tracked Report: See how much time each member of your team has tracked in assigned tasks. For sales purposes, you could create tasks for each client lead and get an idea of who is closing deals fastest.Who's Behind Report: This is a great one to hold all of your teammates accountable. See exactly who has uncleared notifications and overdue tasks.

What kind of food do people from the UK eat that is considered an acquired taste to the rest of the world? | I suppose foods like Jellied eels or black pudding ( a black sausage meat of groats and pork meat and blood filling) or a haggis from Scotland or Tripe (made from the stomach lining of cows or sheep ) even these foods are seen as unpalatable by a lot of the general public
|
Would a random number generator be more or less random than me just randomly saying numbers? Why or why not? | The random number generator will probably produce a sequence that passes statistical tests for randomness better than you just saying numbers, because it was designed that way. Like others have said, *trying to be ‘random’* can backfire because you are actually biased away from anything that seems to have a pattern, and there are likely to be certain numbers that you have an unconscious preference toward. However, I wouldn’t ascribe this to a general “lack of randomness” in human behavior, or an idea as one person suggested that “humans didn’t evolve to be random”. Biological organisms are generally significantly more random in their behavior than machines, and there are at least two reasons for this. Firstly, they are much more complex, so there are many more sources of random fluctuations, and secondly there actually is an advantage to it in some cases, i.e. sometimes the best strategy in certain forms of game theory is to be truly random. I recall once reading that there was an encryption program that used random movements of the user’s hand with the mouse to seed the algorithm because that was considered much harder to predict than the output of a PRNG. But that’s the details of muscle movement, not a deliberate thought process. The more you think and reason, the less random you are likely to become.

What are some things that only electrical and electronics engineers know, but most people don't? | The ultmate law of nature, which is- “Nature does not like change, and if you wish to bring change then you have to put in efforts.”
We electrical engineers get to witness this law of nature in a beautiful way.
Here is a generator.
You are told that if you want to generate electricity than you just have to rotate the shaft.
You think it is easy. Afterall, how much friction will there be in a well lubricated shaft with multi stage ball bearings.
You move the shaft, it rotates pretty easily. You start getting reading in the voltmeter too. You now want to light a bulb with it.
As soon as you connect the bulb across the alternator terminals, it start glowing up.
But you realize that suddenly the shaft of the machine is not that easy to move. You are feeling certain additional force now. This opposition is apart from friction. It is coming from the inside of the rotor only. This opposition is the force of nature which does not want change. If you want the bulb to keep glowing, you have to keep rotating the shaft inspite of the internal opposing torque. And it is possible only when the force applied to rotate the shaft is greater than the internal opposing force.
This is the law of nature and we feel it all the time. Whenever we want to change something or just be more productive, there is always an internal opposing force. It is the little voice in our head which lures us into inaction. And if we want to change things, we just have to show a greater power of action and perseverance. Once the desire to be better is greater than the pseudo pleasure of inactivity, change is inevitable.
Keep trying. The bulb will definitely glow.

Which is the most unbiased news outlet? | There is no single news source that is universally considered to be the most neutral, objective, nonpartisan, and unbiased in the United States. However, several news organizations are widely regarded for their commitment to impartial reporting and their efforts to present a balanced view of the news. Here are a few examples:
Associated Press (AP): AP is a non-profit news organization that provides coverage to thousands of media outlets around the world. AP is known for its rigorous reporting standards and its commitment to impartial, accurate journalism.Reuters: Reuters is a multinational news organization that is dedicated to impartial reporting. Reuters is known for its global reach and its coverage of a wide range of topics, including politics, business, and technology.National Public Radio (NPR): NPR is a non-profit news organization that is known for its in-depth coverage and its commitment to impartial reporting. NPR is known for its balanced coverage of news and its focus on underrepresented communities and perspectives.Public Broadcasting Service (PBS): PBS is a non-profit media organization that is known for its impartial reporting and its commitment to educating the public. PBS is known for its balanced coverage of news and its focus on in-depth reporting and analysis.SlashBeats: The definitive matters concerning tech news and latest entertainment around the world
These are just a few examples of news organizations that are widely regarded for their impartial reporting and their commitment to presenting a balanced view of the news. It is important to note that no news source is completely free from bias, and it is always important to seek out multiple sources of information and to critically evaluate the information you receive.

Why do Glocks and Hi-Points look like they are rudimentary, and made for people who just want to say they own a gun? | I think a more appropriate terms would be “industrial.” And you aren’t wrong - both styles are blocky, with large flats, and little in the way of accenting so common on guns designed for more visual appeal. This approach also reduces manufacturing cost, and when Glock was first introduced it was indeed one of the lower priced autos compared to the Beretta, SIG, and S&W’s seemingly endless array of 2, 3, and 4 digit “named” autos. But what is a gun built to do? As a “tool” (such a lovely popular term) “form follows function” and Glock is purely about that simple paradigm- externally.
The “plainness” of Glock externally belies the work of a modern genius inside. Glock pioneered the notion of having the trigger sear ride atop an internal ledge so that when the striker sear is captured, the two cannot be bumped out of engagement by any force other than catastrophic destruction! Coupled with a striker block and trigger safety lever, Glocks are absolutely SAFE as long as the trigger - including the trigger safety lever, is not pulled by some hamfist who then seeks to blame the GUN for his or her own twitching incompetence. Many other designs - even brand new ones, are capable of having their sear engagement “bumped” - though most rely on some form of secondary safety, after the sear drops out of engagement.
Hi-Point also conforms to a price-point using Zinc alloy in a large, heavy, cast slide to create a blow-back action capable of handling 9mm, and even .45 auto. Blow-back designs are simple and quite robust and generally VERY reliable, which in fact, Hi-Point’s line of handguns has been proven to be. For those of you lacking personal knowledge, check out any number of Hi-Point videos such as one from the TFB showing the pistol being dragged through mud, immersed under water, and abused in general, yet still running strong! Hi-Point appeals to people who “just want to be able to have a gun” for self defense, home defense on a strict budge, and they’re not trying to be gun enthusiasts, just own a bullet launcher - a “tool” if you will to do the job for which it was designed should the need arise.

What does a CEO of a start-up do? What does a typical day look like? What are their responsibilities? What do they do to grow their company every day? | Dances in quicksand at first, with the shifting ground between the promise of the business, the cash flow, and keeping people engaged and growing the business - the motivational and directional part.
Their responsibilities vary day to day, but they make sure they are responsible for everything and learn to get others to assume that responsibility by proving they can. They look for talent hidden in their team, for communications between employees and management that truly drive business. I've seen so many companies with CEOs who are hands off, like an ivory tower, while their people are fighting and backstabbing because they have no leadership.
What they do every do is show up, solve problems, and systematize wherever possible, and find the best people to help them do it.
Still, it's not like you're in control, it's dancing in quicksand, so a good CEO enjoys this as long as its a short term phase.

Why has Labour lost its fourth general election in a row? | Because the bloody minded and pig headed executive and the trades unions chose Ed Miliband as leader. If they had chosen David Miliband, they would have won the next election. If they can persuade David to come back and lead the party, they will win the next one.
David Miliband was respected and liked. Ed was not respected. Jeremy Corbyn is a throwback to some outdated concept of socialism and the Labour movement, which was at least partly corrected by Tony Blair (for all his faults). Corbyn attracted a coterie of adherents, including mad Marxist John McDonnell and the hopeless Diane Abbott. What somnambulist dreamed up that complete shower? Rebecca Long-Bailey must have been living in a different reality from the rest of us, and is probably still doing so.

How can I get a call history of any number? | It is possible to find the call history of a mobile phone number, but it depends on the laws and regulations of the country in which the phone is located and the methods used to obtain the information. In most countries, it is illegal to access someone else's call history without their consent or a valid court order. Additionally, service providers typically have strict policies in place to protect the privacy of their customers, so it may be difficult to obtain this information without the proper legal authority.

What TV series are worth watching? | Taxi, 1978–1983
In today’s world of Uber and Lyft, many adults have never ridden in a taxi cab, so the setting-a big city taxi service may seem cloying. But Taxi was a sitcom that is still worth a look.
Sometimes zany, often bittersweet, but always intelligent, Taxi launched a number of careers.
The show starred Judd Hirsch, (Dear John, Independence Day, Numbers,) as Alex Reiger. Alex was a full time taxi driver. Intelligent and at one time a climber of the corporate ladder, Alex professes to like driving a cab. He is the voice of reason and something of a leader among the group of cab drivers. Alex seems to be happy with his life and job, although we see hints throughout the show that deep down he regrets much of his life.
The taxi dispatcher and manager is Louis DePalma played by Danny DeVito (later one of the biggest movie stars of the 1980s and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.) Louis is crass, sexist, demeaning, and loves his position of power over the cab drivers whom he considers his social and moral inferiors. Not one dimensional, Louis occasionally displays a good heart, but always punctuates his kindness with nastiness. Louis has been called by TV Guide the greatest TV character of all time.
Alex and Louis both are lifers at the cab company and watch the misadventures of the other cab drivers. The other drivers are part time, and are only driving to make ends meet while they pursue their dreams.
Louis belittles their ambitions, Alex cheers them on, but they both know, as does the audience that dreams of the drivers aren’t likely to come true. But they struggle and work very hard, and you find yourself cheering them on.
John Burns (Randall Carver)
An intelligent young man, John attends college and actually seems to have a shot at his dreams. Unfortunately he is very poor and makes his his situation worse when he gets married to another struggling student.
Tony Banta, (Tony Danza-Who’s the Boss)
A good natured but none too bright product of the Italian ghetto, Tony trains very hard and dreams of becoming the middleweight boxing champion. Unfortunately he is a terrible fighter and is sometimes hurt badly.
Bobby Wheeler, (Jeff Conaway-Grease, Babylon 5.)
A struggling actor, Bobby occasionally gets work, but loses it quickly. He can’t admit to himself that he really isn’t very good at acting.
Elaine Nardo, (Marilu Henner, Evening Shade.)
A single Mom lacking any formal education, Elaine has taught herself about art, and dreams of one day being a top art dealer and gallery owner. Hoping to make contacts, Elaine already busy with her two children and her taxi driving job works a few hours a week as a receptionist at an art gallery. She knows deep down that the art community if they notice her at all see her only as a receptionist, and certainly not an equal. But she struggles to ingratiate herself and make contacts.
Jim Ingnatowski, (Christopher Lloyd-Back to the Future, The Conners, Clue.)
This image has been removed for violating Quora's policy.A former hippie, hopelessly burned out after years of drugs, Jim was a homeless street preacher whom the cabbies took pity upon and got him a job. It is later revealed that before he dropped out of society he was actually an Ivy League student, and the son of a very wealthy man. Jim knows he is a living joke to most people, but he is actually happy with his aimless life.
When Jim takes his driving test, it has to be seen to be believed!
Latka Gravas, (Andy Kaufman, comedy legend)
Kaufman, a standup comic had developed a stage persona of a perpetually confused immigrant of indeterminate origin. He took this characterization to Taxi as Latka, a very skilled but hopelessly naïve mechanic, who despite his skills works for less money than the cab drivers. Kaufman is particularly well remembered in Taxi, a plot line that extended for some time involved Latka suffering from multiple personality disorder becoming from time to time Alex (!) and Vic, an obnoxious womanizer.
Latka eventually married:
Simka, (Carol Kane, Academy Award nominated comedy actress)
An immigrant also from Latka’s country, she and Kaufman were an incredible comedy team.
Taxi was richly nuanced, expertly blending uproarious comedy with some very serious issues.
When Jim’s father died, Jim inherited his fortune. Despite some comedy that today might be tasteless concerning the dead man’s obesity, the episode was very touching. Jim’s family sued for control of the money and placed him under a conservatorship. In a touching scene, Jim admitted that it wasn’t the money, but that although he never apologized for his life, he knew that he had disappointed his father. The fact that his fat...

How is democracy practiced in Cuba? | Not that I experienced when I was in Cuba in 2005. What I mostly saw was a an absolute fascist regime working behind the scenes of a thriving capitalistic society whose every move to survive depended on doing things that are illegal but ignored because the government is able to confiscate at least 50% of every peso made in the black market. It was quite an experience for me to witness some of the most pleasant and friendly peoples I have encountered as a unified community knowing that at any moment they could be arrested for a number of crimes that are required to commit in order to have any sort of ordinary life. It was uplifting to see the Cuban people work so well within such circumstances at the same time being depressed over how the beautiful Spanish buildings have become so bad from 50 years of neglect.When a countries democracy has to be justified by the measures that author goes to, to do so; it is doubtful that democracy is a beneficial practice in that country.

What are your bad experiences at ALLEN Kota? | There are many things to note here..
1. If you already have good command over the subject and need just some refinement, then these institutes are good.. Otherwise if you need clarity from the basics, then you will need some institute which can guide you personally !
2. Lacs of aspirants study in them and VERY FEW qualify the exam. So % result is too bad.. Moreover, in kota, many students commit suicide and are under depression !
3. You will first have to submit coaching fees and then will have to pay hostel fees which comes out to be huge yearly expenses ! Moreover you study with SO MANY students that there is total lack of personal attention !
4. People run after their results every year.. Not knowing that many are fake and many are money bought too !
5. Even after joining them, people join and spend huge amount of money on personal tuitions and when the result comes, these institutes take all the credit !
So its better I think to join an institute which can give to personal attention and teachers are well qualified too!

In the US, is it better to send your kid to a public or private school? Are private schools better than public schools? | I went to a private school for about 6 years. It was strict and while people say they aren’t like in movies they are… People are snobby and like to show off their money and are incredibly rude sometimes. They think they are best at everything. and we had these awful uniforms that were so uncomfortable and I do believe that we need a dress code to a certain extent like no showing up naked and stuff like that but the dress code there was crazy. Now that may have just been my school but I hated it there. When I moved to a public school, I found myself. I found my personality, I found my style… most people there were actually nice and I made lots of friends there. I went there for 3 years then moved on to hs which sadly was over covid so I didn’t see my friends as much. I still talk to them a lot though. When schools started opening again I didn’t want to do the hybrid cause one I’m not a very social person and two… there was lots of drama in middle school and I knew I’d have to see the people who caused it again. But for me Public school was so much better

Do sunset towns still exist in America where only whites are allowed after dark? Have you been to one, and was the racism noticable? | Whole towns would be a rare thing, but individuals in some places still have such attitudes. I was friends with an African American couple who had moved to the small town from the big city. They were wonderful people, and we got to know them quite well. I recall when someone threw a brick through their window with a note attached “N———s Go Home”. We took up a collection and got them a new window, and told them “You ARE home, they are the unwelcome guests”.
Ignorance and moronic behavior knows no borders, happens among all colors, and transcends time lines. It is one of the many aberrant tendencies among mankind, one which requires the same kind of vaccine and treatment regimens as any disease.

What is inside the CN Tower? | During my days as an aero engineering student at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute (now Ryerson University) in the late ‘70s, I did something really cool at the CN Tower.
For a group project in my second year fluid mechanics course we designed and carried out a really amazing experiment. We used the roughly 1200 ft / 369m hollow core i.e. inside of the CN Tower as a “stationary” wind tunnel to carry out an aerodynamics experiment! By “stationary” wind tunnel, I mean we moved (via gravity) the body to be tested through the tunnel to create the “wind”. Our goal was to confirm the effect of surface roughness on the drag on a body moving through air. We glued variously sized glass beads onto ping pong balls (i.e. to get various surface roughnesses) then dropped them from the top of the hollow core and timed their fall to the bottom of the core to derive various aerodynamic properties like Reynolds Number and Coefficient of Drag as well calculating accelerations to terminal velocity. We then (like good budding engineers!) used lots of equations and plotted lots of graphs for our project submission! We of course had to get the CN Tower’s permission to access the hollow core in return for which we agreed to let them put up a poster sized picture of us and a description of what we did in the observation deck display area along with all the other cool things and stunts that happened at the CN Tower over the years.
This is looking down from the very top of the hollow core:
This is the top gantry we dropped the glass bead covered ping pong balls from:
This is looking up from the top gantry to what is essentially the bottom of the observation level:
We used a golf ball retriever to position the ping pong ball in the middle of the core before dropping it down the shaft. We communicated the moment of drop via walkie-talkie to our group colleague at the bottom of the shaft who timed the drop with a mechanical stop watch (all of this really highlights the 1970s technology we were using!):
That’s me, the handsome young engineering student on the right :-) :
For many years (until 2012 or so) a cool picture and description of our aerodynamics experiment was displayed on the observation deck!
It was a really cool experience and really neat to see the inside of the CN Tower!

Is it worth buying a (new) Herman Miller Aeron chair? Is there a better (meaning cheaper but ergonomically excellent) chair to buy for my home office? | There are always alternatives to High Range chairs, like the Herman Miller.
Sure, this brand is the one of the finest in the world of furniture, but there is a lot of merchandise in this subject. This doesn’t mean that these chairs doesn’t deserve its fame. They are good quality, for sure. But you can find another brands with equally high quality features for lower prices, just because they don’t have a prestigious (yet) brand to sustain.
Humanscale Freedom Task Chair is a great, marvelously designed office chair by Niels Diffrient, one of the “sugardaddys” of Ergonomics. It has all the features required by a premium designed ergonomic chair. A counter balanced mechanism to recline without changing your eyeline, height and head level controls, and the less amount of swivels.
