What should I eat before lifting weights? | Foods to Eat & Avoid Before Lifting Weights
Quality Preworkout Meal
When you're lifting weights, your body will be utilizing primarily carbohydrates as fuel; protein facilitates recovery and the muscle-building process. As a result, Northern Arizona University Athletics recommends consuming a small meal consisting of low-glycemic carbohydrates and a quality protein before your workouts. Carbohydrates that are low glycemic provide you with a steady supply of energy because they take longer to be digested, which is ideal before your workouts.
Examples of Foods
Carbohydrates that are low glycemic include nuts, beans, pasta, fruits, brown rice, sweet potatoes, all-bran grains and vegetables. An example of a quality preworkout meal is a bowl of rolled oats with a scoop of whey protein and some peanut butter, milk and sliced banana. Dr. Kati Mora of Fitness Magazine recommends apple wedges, which provide the low-glycemic carbohydrates, with almond butter, which offers up protein.
Impact of Timing
You don't want to take in your meals too closely to when you start your weight training workout. Try to get in your meal around 60 to 90 minutes before you step into the gym. Eating too closely to when you work out can cause abdominal pains from gastrointestinal distress. If you lift weights first thing in the morning, eat a banana and whole wheat bread at least 30 minutes before you begin. Allow three hours before working out after you've taken in a full meal.
Foods to Avoid
Consuming high-glycemic carbohydrates before lifting can cause you to become lethargic in the middle of your workout. Avoid glucose, sucrose and maltose sugars; honey, russet potatoes, white breads, instant oatmeal, flaked cereals and corn chips because they are quickly absorbed and will leave you hanging when it's time to push through your workout. If you consume fats and fibers, which take longer to break down, do so at least three hours before working out so that your body can move the food out of your stomach and start to digest it.
If you want to get fit, slow the aging process, reclaim your health, achieve your ideal body and live longer, then [LINKED_TEXT: AVOID These 5 Steps] [URL: https://amanda-dietz.com/looking-younger]

When the Apollo 11 lunar module was attempting to land, Commander Neil Armstrong had to take control of the ship manually to land it safely because of an unsafe landing area. Why did he do it rather than Buzz Aldrin since Aldrin was the LM Pilot? | Both Aldrin and Armstrong were trained to fly the lunar lander. Armstrong took control of the landing because the lander was running low on fuel and he saw a good spot to land, not because he could do a better job of landing. It was simply a timing issue.

Why does it seem like - suddenly - Google Maps (not Google Earth) satellite view is not available in 3D (rotating etc) on Microsoft Edge - even when signed in? | There could be several reasons why Google Maps satellite view is not available in 3D (rotating etc) on Microsoft Edge. Here are a few possible explanations:
Compatibility issues: It's possible that there are compatibility issues between Microsoft Edge and Google Maps, which could be preventing certain features, such as 3D view, from working properly.

You may want to check your browser settings to ensure that everything is set up correctly and that there are no restrictions in place.Google Maps updates: Google Maps is constantly being updated and improved, and it's possible that the latest version of Google Maps is not fully compatible with Microsoft Edge. In this case, you may need to wait for Google to release an update that resolves the issue.Location restrictions: It's also possible that certain locations may not be available in 3D view due to legal or other restrictions. If this is the case, you may need to try viewing the area in question from a different angle or using a different view mode.

If Parshuram is the incarnation of Vishnu, then why didn't Parshuram recognize Ram during the breaking of the Shiva bow event? | Parshuram is not an incarnation of Vishnu. See, you have to understand one thing. When a Yogi, on account of his Sadhana (Yogic practises) achieves perfection, He no longer remains an ordinary being. He become comparable to Maheshwara. In such a state, the Yogi says ‘Aham Brahmasmi’ (I am Brahma/Parmeshwara/God). He becomes equivalent to Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. Our great ancient sages had achieved Godhood. Parshuram, Ved Vyas, Kapilmuni, Matsyendranath, to name a few. They are capable of Srijana (creation) and Samhara (destruction). They are no lesser than the Trideva. Matsyendranath and Gorakhanath are often revered as Shiva himself. In such a state the Yogi becomes one with the Supreme conciousness same as Shiva or Vishnu. So you can no longer differentiate among them.
So Pashuram is indifferentiable from Rama (right?). But when he becomes angry enough the Yogic powers are somehow lessened. So now he becomes a separate being. But soon he recovers his conciousness and recognized Rama.

Are school clubs, MUN, and volunteering enough extra curricular to get into Harvard? | No.
Top colleges want to see your passion, your perseverance, your “sticktoitiveness,” your accomplishments, your willingness to use assessment to improve your efforts, and your willingness to change what you are doing based on these assessments. Your extracurricular activities should demonstrate that.
Joining several school clubs, or the occasional volunteer work or MUN participation does very little.
Colleges also want to see your account of your efforts and results over a period of time, not in the two weeks prior to submitting your application.
Other very important items for getting into a top school:
The rigor of your high school courses: AP, IB, honors, or actual college courses taken at a nearby college4.0+ GPAAn academic plus, such as a research project with an advanced teacher or a professor from a nearby collegeIf the college in not test blind, an awesome SAT/ACT (take a prep class, and practice, practice, practice)A statement of purpose and essays that awe and inspireGreat letters of recommendation which talk about many of the above items

What would give Superman more power, a Gamma Ray Burst or a Quasar? | What would give Superman more power,
A gamma Ray Burst
or a Quasar
A quasar is an extremely luminous active galactic nucleus, powered by a supermassive black hole, with mass ranging from millions to tens of billions times the mass of the Sun, surrounded by a gaseous accretion disc.
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are short-lived bursts of gamma-ray light, the most energetic form of light. Lasting anywhere from a few milliseconds to several minutes, GRBs shine hundreds of times brighter than a typical supernova and about a million trillion times as bright as the Sun.
Theoretically speaking, a quasar outputs 10^39 joules of energy per second.
Whereas a Gamma-Ray Burst outputs an energy of 10^44 joules per second.
So a Gamma-Ray-Burst has higher energy/power output than a quasar. If Superman can absorb the energy of the either one, then the Gamma-Ray-Burst will charge Superman to a greater extent.
Now, iirc then DC's suns are more powerful than real world's sun. So the outcome might be different.

What is the most misunderstood picture that has become famous (or infamous)? | united states lost ww2
They further suggest the missile was fired from a submerged Chinese nuclear submarine off America’s coast, and point out that the timing of the alleged Chinese missile shot coincided with an increasing confrontation between the U.S. and China, and was likely meant to send a message to Washington.
Indeed, the Federal Aviation Administration documents that there were no aircraft flying in the area at that time, the night of Nov. 8.
“The question that still must be answered is why NORAD’s muted response was simply that North America was not threatened, and later our government approved the lame excuse that the picture recorded was simply an aircraft leaving a contrail,” said retired U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Jim Cash.
A former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot and commander of an F-15 squadron and an F-16 wing, Cash was assigned to NORAD as an assistant director of operations at the Cheyenne Mountain complex near Colorado Springs, Colo., and is fully knowledgeable of NORAD procedures.
“There is absolutely no doubt that what was captured on video off the coast of California was a missile launch, was clearly observed by NORAD, assessed by a four-star general in minutes, and passed to the president immediately,” he said.
Even more ominously, caut
ioned Cash: “We must question the timing of this shot across our bow. The president was abroad being diplomatic, which means trying to placate China which is becoming overly concerned with our handling a totally out-of-control deficit in spending.”

What exercise can lose face fat? | Method 1 of 3:Making Lifestyle Changes
Losing weight in your body is the best way to promote weight loss in your face. Losing weight takes time and hard work, but even a modest weight loss can provide lasting benefits to your health. If you're overweight or obese, set a weight loss goal for yourself and start working towards it. Start with a small goal to make it manageable and give yourself confidence.
Aim for a 1 to 2 pound per week weight loss. This is a healthy, manageable way to lose weight and you can achieve this by cutting 500 to 1,000 calories from your diet per day.
For example, you might set a goal for yourself to lose 6 pounds over the course of 6 weeks. This will be a realistic rate of weight loss, so you'll be more likely to meet your goal.
2. Check your diet for foods and drinks that might cause puffiness.
Certain foods may contribute to bloating, which could cause your face to look puffy. Try keeping a food diary to see what foods might contribute to bloating. You may want to try an elimination diet if you notice that certain foods are a problem for you. Check your diet to see if it regularly includes:
Carbonated beverages
Wheat gluten
Dairy products
Cabbage
Beans
Broccoli
Sprouts
Cauliflower
Onions
Salty foods, such as chips, frozen pizza, and deli meats
3. Exercise regularly to help promote weight loss and circulation.
Exercising regularly can make your face look slimmer by helping you shed excess weight. If you don't have excess weight to lose, then exercise will also promote good circulation. This alone may help to reduce puffiness in your face.
Make sure to choose a form of exercise that you enjoy, such as walking, dancing, swimming, or biking.
Aim to do 30 minutes or more of moderate physical activity on most days of the week.
4. Get more sleep to help your endocrine system work properly.
A lack of sleep may predispose you to issues with your endocrine system, such as diabetes. Get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep every night to wake rested and refreshed, and to promote a healthy endocrine system. This may help prevent problems that might lead to facial weight gain.
Try to make your bedroom a relaxing place to promote better sleep, such as by keeping it cool, dark, clean, and quiet.
You can also get better sleep by limiting or avoiding caffeine, shutting off screens at least 30 minutes before bedtime, and avoiding doing anything other than sleeping in your bed.
5. Drink more water to stay hydrated and reduce water retention.
Staying hydrated will help to reduce puffiness in your face by reducing water retention. If you don't drink enough water, then you might be holding onto it in different areas of your body, including your face. Aim for eight 8 fl oz (240 mL) of water daily, but drink more if you're sweating or thirsty.
Fill a water bottle before you head out in the morning and refill it throughout the day while you are at work or school.
6. Limit or abstain from alcohol.
Drinking alcohol may increase facial puffiness, so it's best to abstain entirely if possible or at least limit your drinks. Stick to no more than 1 alcoholic drink per day for women or 2 per day for men. One drink is equal to 12 fl oz (350 mL) of beer, 5 fl oz (150 mL) of wine, or 1.5 fl oz (44 mL) of spirits.
Try drinking a simple mocktail when you want to have a drink instead. Combine sparkling water, a splash of cranberry juice, and a lime wedge for an easy, tasty, low-calorie drink option.
If you find it hard to quit drinking, talk with your doctor. You might need help to quit.
Method 2 of 3:Doing Facial Exercises1. Say “X” and “O” 20 times each in a row.
Alternating between saying X and O will work the muscles in your face. Say “X-O-X-O” out loud 20 times each and emphasize each letter for maximum benefit.
Try doing this exercise while you are getting dressed in the morning.
2. Suck in your cheeks like a fish 20 times daily.
This might look a little silly, but it will work the muscles in your cheeks. Pull your cheeks in and hold them that way for 5 seconds, then release. Repeat this 20 times throughout the day.
Try doing this exercise while you style your hair or do your makeup.
3. Open your mouth wide, hold for 5 seconds, and then relax.
Open up as wide as you can so that it looks like you are screaming or yelling. Then, hold your mouth in this position to the count of 5 and release. Repeat this 30 times per day.
Try doing this while you are making your bed or doing another household chore.
4. Swish air around in your mouth for 5 minutes per day.
Take a deep breath in and then close your mouth. Allow some of the air to fill up your mouth so that it looks like it is full. Then, swish the air around in your mouth to exercise all of your facial muscles. Make sure to breathe normally as you do this.
Aim for a total of 5 minutes of air swishing per day. For example, you could do this for 2 minutes in the morning and 3 minutes in the afternoon, or do all 5 minutes at once if you prefer.
5. Give yourself a facial massage
Press your fingertips against your face starting at your forehead and working downwards to your temples and cheeks. Then, press your fingertips against the sides of your nose and move them out towards your cheeks and downwards. Next, press your fingers along your jawline and working towards the underside of your jaw. You can also go to a professional massage therapist or use a jade roller to massage your face.
The massage will help to promote better circulation and drainage of lymphatic fluid from your face. Lymphatic fluid is what builds up around your lymph nodes. If too much of it builds up, it may cause swelling in different parts of your body.
Method 3 of 3:Seeking Medical Help1. See your doctor to check for underlying conditions.
Some medical conditions can cause you to hold onto excess weight in your face, so you might want to check with your doctor if you have noticed sudden or dramatic weight gain. Your doctor may check you for specific disorders.
For example, your doctor may want to check you for Cushing's and hypothyroidism since these can cause weight gain in your face.
2. Ask your doctor if your medications could cause facial weight gain.
It is possible that a new or existing medication may be to blame for facial puffiness or weight gain. Talk with your doctor if you have recently started a new medication and you have noticed this side effect.
For example, a rare reaction to oxycodone is swelling of the face and extremities.
3. Look into a face lift if other options have not helped.
Although plastic surgery can be expensive and invasive, you might want to consider it if other options have not produced the desired effects. Ask your primary care physician for a referral or find an experienced plastic surgeon on your own. Don't go for the cheapest option. Make sure that the surgeon is well-qualified and has a lot of experience with facial surgery.
Meet with the surgeon to find out if you might be a good candidate for a face lift or other form of surgery to reduce the size of your face.
A combination of therapies might be recommended, such as liposuction along with a face lift.

Why are Tempurpedic beds so expensive? | Buy a mattress:- Hi, Take some time and do some research on the different types of beds such as memory foam and spring pocket coil systems.
Then go to a reputable mattress store in your area and take a look at what is available. A good salesperson should be able to provide you with a lot of information about the different beds. You need to look at materials the mattress is made out of, firmness and size you require.
Take into consideration your budget and don't be upsold anything that you cannot afford.
Keep in mind your sleeping style do you sleep on your side, stomach? Do you need a lot of personal sleep space if you are sharing the bed with someone else a king, queen or double.
Be sure to try the beds out and make sure you know their return policy. There are some stores that will let you return the bed within a certain time frame if it is not working out for you.
I hope I really, truly helped. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you have in mind. for more related information visit [LINKED_TEXT: The Organic Mattress Store Inc.] [URL: https://theeastcoastorganicmattressstore.com/]

What's your single best piece of advice for anyone? | I am working hard for kids I don’t have yet. I am working hard for businesses I don’t even know yet. I am absolutely busting my tail day in and day out to prepare myself to become who the next phase of my life is going to require me to be.
The future value of today’s hard work.
Sometimes it is difficult to keep perspective of why we are putting in all the hard work that we are.
In the beginning, the growth is small and sometimes we even move backwards and there is no growth at all.
A 10,000 rupee investment is not going to make any difference.
I only have 100 followers, what I say is not going to make any difference.
And as you grow it remains very difficult to keep pressing forward because the wins that we have are so incremental that it’s tough to assess truly how far we have come. After a period of time, your quotations may look more like this.
It’s only one stock, it won’t make any difference.
I only have 1000000 in my retirement account, I am going to need at least 1 Cr, this won’t make any difference.
So we need to keep track whether that be through keeping a journal or tracking the numbers in the spread sheet. We need to constantly remind ourselves that we are moving closer to the person that we need to be in order to accomplish the things that we want to accomplish before the day we die.
They say we need to believe to achieve but we also must see to believe.
So in order to achieve the things we want, we need to be able to see that future version of ourselves and work back in order to figure out the actionable items we need to do day in and day out to become that person we are going to need to be.
Stay strong stay focused and keep working.
Your time will come, don’t do it because of your past, do it for the abundance that lies waiting for you in the future and allow that thought to take over your present in order for you to find contentment.

How hard was it for ancient civilizations to invent the wheel? | What was difficult was not so much the development of the wheel as the development of the axle. One-wheeled vehicles are pretty much limited to wheelbarrows.
A chariot is pretty simple, but the axle needs to be long enough for the person that is steering and the person that is shooting arrows. The longer the axle, the thicker it needs to be to carry the weight (and absorb shocks over uneven ground at speed). The thicker the axle, the more contact between the axle and the wheels, and therefore greater friction, which requires more energy to overcome.
Now make a cart. One axle needs to pivot, to make turns, but when it pivots, the wheels hit the sides of the cart. You need to get the axle out from underneath the cart, or you need a longer, thicker axle.
Then there were inventions like spokes, etc. Wheels were not invented by only one civilization, but only one civilization developed the technologies of wheeled vehicles.

Wife rocks..!!

What is the difference between diatomic molecules and triatomic molecules? Which one is more stable? Why is that so? | Diatomic molecules are composed of two atoms, while triatomic molecules are composed of three atoms. The stability of a molecule depends on the strength of the chemical bonds between the atoms, as well as the overall energy of the molecule. Diatomic molecules may be more stable than triatomic molecules if the chemical bonds in the diatomic molecule are stronger, or if the overall energy of the diatomic molecule is lower. However, this is not always the case, and the stability of a molecule can depend on many factors including the specific atoms that make up the molecule.

Can mammograms lead to breast cancer? | The dose of radiation that a woman gets during a screening mammogram of both breasts is about the same amount of radiation she would average from her natural surroundings over about 7 weeks.Strict guidelines ensure that mammography equipment is safe and uses the lowest dose of radiation possible. Many people are concerned about the exposure to x-rays, but the level of radiation from a mammogram today does not significantly increase the breast cancer risk for a woman who gets regular mammograms. In theory, repeated x-rays might have the potential to cause cancer, but the benefits of mammography outweigh any possible harm from the radiation exposure.If there is any chance you are pregnant, let your health care provider and x-ray technologist know. Although the risk to the fetus is likely to be very small, screening mammograms aren’t routinely done in pregnant women.

Why do so many people believe that Coptic script is written in Greek letters, when Greek letters originate from Hieroglyphics in its Coptic form? | Actually the relationship between Greek letters and Coptic ones is… weird.
Origins of the Greek alphabet
The ancient Greek alphabet is pretty young. The oldest archaeological example date from the 8th century BC. This is one of the candidates for the ‘oldest example of written Greek’:
Image: [LINKED_TEXT: Magistri Tutors Blog] [URL: http://blog.magistritutors.com/2018/09/05/the-artifacts-of-schliemann-nestors-cup/]
It’s the so-called [LINKED_TEXT: Nestor's Cup,] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestor%27s_Cup_(Pithekoussai)] which was found in Ischia on the bay of Naples (at the time, a Greek settlement) . The decorations and stratigraphy of the burial where it was found place it around 700 BC. The other contestants for the crown of ‘oldest Greek inscription’ are from around the same time.
The letter forms are clearly derived from the contemporary Phoenician alphabet:
(Image: [LINKED_TEXT: Giorgios Bourogiannis] [URL: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Comparative-table-of-Phoenician-and-earliest-Greek-alphabetical-scripts-after-JN_fig1_331300441] ) Besides the obvious visual similarities, you’ll note that Greek retains variants of most of the letter names. In Phoenician these are meaningful: aleph (the Greek “alpha”) means “ox”, bet (Greek beta) is “house” and so on. In Greek, they are nonsense sounds.
So, there’s not much controversy about the Near-Eastern origins of the Greek letter forms: [LINKED_TEXT: Herodotus] [URL: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Hdt.%205.58&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0126], after all, says precisely that:
The Phoenicians who came with Cadmus—amongst whom were the Gephyraei—introduced into Greece, after their settlement in the country, a number of accomplishments, of which the most important was writing, an art till then, I think, unknown to the Greeks. At first they used the same characters as all the other Phoenicians, but as time went on, and they changed their language, they also changed the shape of their letters. At that period most of the Greeks in the neighbourhood were Ionians; they were taught these letters by the Phoenicians and adopted them, with a few alterations, for their own use, continuing to refer to them as the Phoenician characters—as was only right, as the Phoenicians had introduced them.
The invention which the Greeks can claim for themselves is the addition of vowels: Phoenician (like Hebrew) only encoded consonants. The Greeks turned several soft consonants like yod (“y”) into actual vowels like iota “i”.
Egyptian connection
Even though the Greek alphabet is Phoenician, the Phoenician characters themselves had ancestors. The Phoenician script derives from [LINKED_TEXT: Proto-Sinaitic] [URL: https://omniglot.com/writing/protosinaitc.htm] (also sometimes called “Proto-Canaanite”) letters, which evolved in the region of modern Israel and the Sinai desert between around 1900 and 1700 BC. During this period, Middle Kingdom Egypt was the dominant regional power, so the new script evolved under the influence of Egyptian culture even though it encoded a different language. For example this Sphinx from Serabit el-Khadim in the Sinai:
The Serabit el-Khadim sphinx is inscribed in both Egyptian and Proto-Sinaitic. Photo: [LINKED_TEXT: codex99.com] [URL: http://www.codex99.com/typography/11.html]
is inscribed “Beloved of Hathor of turquoise” in Egyptian and mʿh bʿlt “beloved of [the] Lady” in Proto-Sinaitic.
Some scholars think the Proto-Sinaitic script was a local invention by non-Egyptian speakers who learned literacy from Egyptians; some think it was the invention on an Egyptian colonial administration to communicate with its subjects (the mines where the sphinx above were found were worked primarily by slaves, captured in campaigns in Canaan). In either case, Proto-Sinaitic characters come from the marriage of an Egyptian glyph with it’s name rendered into a Semitic word. The first sound in the Semitic word provided the sound of the letter: so a picture of a hand became kaph and thus “k” and so on.
Fast forward a thousand years or so and this becomes the Phoenician alphabet which spread into Greece.
Coptic
Ironically these characters eventually full circle.
Egypt lost its independence to the Persians in 525 BC (when the Greeks were only a century or two into literacy). In 332, Alexander the Great drove out the Persians, with a good deal of support from their disaffected Egyptian subjects. Alexander’s general, [LINKED_TEXT: Ptolemy I Soter] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemy_I_Soter], eventually claimed Egypt for himself out of the wreckage of Alexander’s empire and established a Greek-dominated kingdom in Egypt that survived down into the Roman era, ending with the death of Cleopatra in 30 BC.
During the Greek period (and on through the Roman empire for another six hundred years) Egypt was basically bilingual. The cities were dominated by Greek speakers, and the countryside by Egyptian speakers. The government conducted its business primarily in Greek, but it retained the traditional Egyptian temple hierarchy as a kind of parallel government for its Egyptian subjects. Civil law and government were conducted in Greek, but religious matters (at least, Egyptian ones) were conducted in Egyptian. The famous Rosetta Stone is one of many parallel texts which record the same message for both Greek and Egyptian audiences during this period.
One interesting aspect of this period is the gradual creation of a creole culture combining both Greek and Egyptian elements. To some degree this was deliberate: the government promoted hybrid religious cults, like that of [LINKED_TEXT: Serapis] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serapis], intended to provide a cross-cultural unifying ideal. But the mixing was also a classic colonial byproduct: as the Greek soldiers of Ptolemy’s mercenary army settled down with local women, mixed families became common. Politically or ambitious Egyptians adopted Greek names and Greek manners, while Greeks who found Egyptian culture to their liking “went native.” Egyptian ideas, particularly the worship of [LINKED_TEXT: Isis] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysteries_of_Isis#%3A~%3Atext%3DIsis%20was%20one%20of%20many%2Cconquered%20by%20the%20Roman%20Republic], became a popular cultural export.
During this period the lower ranks of the Ptolemaic bureaucracy were staffed with native Egyptians who, to do their duties, had to be literate in both Greek and Egyptian. By this period, hieroglyphs was almost entirely reserved for formal religious usage: most ordinary Egyptians used [LINKED_TEXT: Demotic] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demotic_(Egyptian)] for day-to-day writing. The Rosetta stone (a temple dedication) has hieroglyphs for religious solemnity but repeats the Egyptian text in Demotic for ordinary people. There are [LINKED_TEXT: a few examples of Egyptians using Greek characters to write Egyptian words as far back as 201 BC] [URL: https://www.quora.com/What-factual-evidence-do-novice-and-professional-linguists-give-to-show-against-evidence-from-Jean-Francois-Champollion-that-Coptic-is-derived-from-Greek/answer/Steve-Theodore?ch=10&share=171696ca&srid=zLvM], but Demotic remained the primary Egyptian writing method into the early Roman era.
The script we know as “Coptic” emerges in the first century of our era. So-called “[LINKED_TEXT: Old Coptic] [URL: http://www.coptic-magic.phil.uni-wuerzburg.de/index.php/2019/08/30/an-introduction-to-old-coptic/]” is really a grab-bag of different efforts to extend the Greek alphabet with extra characters that represent sounds that Egyptian has and Greek does not. For example ϣ writes the sound “sh”, which Greek had no easy way to represent. For the most parts these new letters are taken almost straight from Demotic. There were [LINKED_TEXT: competing dialects] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coptic_language#dialects] which tried to solve the transcription problem in different ways, but eventually two — the Sahidic dialect of Upper Egypt and the Bohairic dialect of the Delta went — became the most common. Sahidic added six Egyptian letters to the Greek alphabet and Bohairic added a seventh.
Coptic literature flourished from the second century down to the thirteenth, when it was finally eclipsed by Arabic. Although it survives today only as the liturgical language of the Coptic church, it is an invaluable reference for scholars studying the history of Egyptian language: unlike all earlier Egyptian writing systems, Coptic includes vowels (thanks to Greece’s distinctive contribution) and that provides us invaluable insights into the way earlier Egyptians spoke. Plus, as the product of long exposure to other cultures Coptic also includes loan words of Greek, Latin and Hebrew origin which help us fix sound values.
So, eventually those Egyptian hieroglyphic characters cribbed by Semitic miners in the Sinai and Canaan eventually came back — about two thousand years later — to become the final written form of the Egyptian language. A similar circle defines the history of [LINKED_TEXT: Old Nubian] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Nubian] which combined Coptic characters with three characters from the [LINKED_TEXT: Meroitic script] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meroitic_script] — itself another offspring of Demotic Egyptian.
Postscript.
The question implies that the Greek alphabet derives from Coptic, rather than the other way around. That’s easily disproved by archaeology.
The oldest recognizable Coptic writings date from the first century or so; examples of Late Egyptian written in Greek characters go back maybe two centuries earlier. There are plenty examples of Greek script dating back to the seventh or eighth century BC, a good five hundred years before any examples of Coptic are attested.
Also, it’s worth mentioning that Greek loanwords are quite common in Coptic texts. The reverse is not true: if Greek literacy really depended on Coptic it would be natural for Egyptian words (particularly for unfamiliar things like the names of letters!) to come from Egyptian into Greek. But, as we’ve seen, letter names (along with quite a few other words, like the Greek words [LINKED_TEXT: λέων ] [URL: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%BB%CE%AD%CF%89%CE%BD#Etymology]“lion” and [LINKED_TEXT: χρυσος ] [URL: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CF%87%CF%81%CF%85%CF%83%CF%8C%CF%82#Ancient_Greek]“gold”) come from the Near East, not Egypt.
So: there is a historic connection between Greek script and Egyptian : but it goes back much farther than Coptic, to the Middle Kingdom.

Which is smarter, a polymath or an autodidact? | A polymath is a person who knows a lot about a lot of things.An autodidact is a knowledgeable person who is largely self-taught.
It may be seen that both are smart, perhaps about equally smart; alternatively, either one could be smarter than the other. Conceivably, someone could be both. Nowadays, that would be unlikely, but many centuries in the past, when educational opportunities were far from abundant, it’s quite likely that those we now regard as polymaths—Aristotle, Galileo, and Roger Bacon, for example—were probably also autodidacts.

What are your silly little parenting tricks that you're so glad you discovered? | Two I remember helped him to do well in public. If you want to bring a child to a performance, be sure to get seats very close; like, see the performers sweat, close. Have some non sugary, non messy, non noisy snacks available. At intermission, take them outside for walk and fresh air. Do bathroom break as late as comfortable. For restaurants; tell them what's up before you go. If possible, go where there's some diversion they'll enjoy. Let them know they'll need to be on best behavior, or you'll have to leave. Go at a somewhat off time. Plan it for the child's enjoyment. One mighty enjoy 'a tea'. Make it a bit formal. Dress for it. Order scones or biscotti. Arrange the table as you go. Pour graciously. Maybe your child would prefer french fries and a small milkshake. It doesn't matter. A small amount of food to savor and something to drink. If boredom or frustration begins, try to solve it without speaking or touching. This is training for you too. The only thing you might say would be, for boredom, 'would you rather ..?’ for frustration, 'do you need ..?’ If you can't maintain proper decorum, don't worry. You haven't spent much money. You haven't gone into a battle with or humiliated your child. Just quietly tell them they did pretty good and let's try again another day. If they can be calm about leaving, you could ask your server to wrap what is uneaten if the child would like. Don't make it a failure. It's just practice.

How is Sweden able to send almost no trash to a landfill? | There are a combination of reasons.
First, there’s a Swedish law called Producentansvar
[LINKED_TEXT: [1]] [URL: #YlUXo], producers’s responsibility. For batteries, cars, tires, electronic equipment, packaging, recyclable paper, drugs, and radioactive products (chiefly smoke detectors as far as consumers are concerned), producers must take responsibility for the end-of-life disposal of their products. There are additional voluntary programs for office paper and agricultural plastics. When it is producers’ responsibility to recycle packaging and consumable products, it means the producers build the capacity to recycle such materials. In the U.S., paying for recycling often depends upon finding a secondary market for the materials being recycled, which leads to disconnects between what waste is produced and what waste is actually recycled. It’s starting to be possible to recycle polystyrene, for example, but very little polystyrene gets recycled. The recycling hauler in my city didn’t want polystyrene, even before China stopped accepting so much recycling from the U.S.
[LINKED_TEXT: [2]] [URL: #ZXpAc] When the manufacturers are in charge of recycling what they produce, it also means they are much more likely to design with consideration to what materials they can recycle. If molded polystyrene foam blocks for some product package cost $1.00 per unit to produce, handle, and ship, and vacuum-formed HDPE blocks cost $1.50, nobody’s going to look at that price tag and choose the HDPE. But if the producer assumes responsibility for disposal rather than just ignoring it as an externality, and with disposal, the life-cycle cost of the polystyrene is $2.00 and the HDPE is $1.75, the producer is going to reach a different conclusion. (These are made-up numbers. I have no idea what typical costs might be. I do know that polystyrene and HDPE can both make blocks for steadying and padding a product inside its box, and that the methods and opportunities for recycling the two materials are quite different.)
Second, there’s a pretty strong culture around conservation in Sweden. My husband, who grew up in Sweden, describes school lunches with little or nothing disposable or individually wrapped. Instead, kids took a tray, a fork and knife, and a cup, and getting served cafeteria style. (If you’ve ever eaten at IKEA, you’ve seen how a Swedish cafeteria operates.) There might have been a paper napkin, but there wasn’t an individually wrapped plastic utensil set, a single-serve milk carton, or a Mylar bag from the chips. There are convenience foods and fast food in Sweden, of course, but I suspect they’re used with more reserve than in the U.S.
You don’t have to take my word for it about the culture around waste reduction, either. People in Sweden generated 452kg (997lb) of solid waste per person in 2017.
[LINKED_TEXT: [3]] [URL: #mhOtS] In the same year, the U.S. generated 746kg (1646lb) of waste per person.[LINKED_TEXT: [4]] [URL: #cHlHm] Besides producing less packaging waste than the U.S., Swedes recycle much more of it. I suspect there are many reasons, including the culture of conservation, but also the fact that most packaging has clear markings for how to recycle it, and that most places have pretty good access to recycling. There’s probably a recycling bin outside your apartment if you live in Sweden, or somewhere in town where it’s easy to reach. For things like bottles and cans with deposits, there are these sort of reverse vending machines in shopping centers, where you stick empties in and get out a receipt that you can use against your next grocery purchase or redeem for cash.
Image: Recycling station in Stockholm, Sweden. [LINKED_TEXT: File:Återvinningsstation 2010c.jpg] [URL: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%C3%85tervinningsstation_2010c.jpg] cc-by-sa Elgaard Holger via Wikimedia Commons.
For all these reasons, Swedes recycle 93% of their glass, 80% of their cardboard, 81.5% of their metal, and 91% of their newspaper. They’re not as good about plastic (46%) or wood (51%).
[LINKED_TEXT: [5]] [URL: #goFfK] [LINKED_TEXT: [6]] [URL: #xHBQM] They use what they recycle, too. Sweden’s paper producers even end up importing recycled paper because they don’t get as much as they want to use.[LINKED_TEXT: [7]] [URL: #wQsvj] The U.S. recycles only about 9% of our plastic packaging,
[LINKED_TEXT: [8]] [URL: #yZuOi] [LINKED_TEXT: [9]] [URL: #RCfJe]and 26% of our glass [LINKED_TEXT: [10]] [URL: #bwbwA] and 16% of our aluminum.[LINKED_TEXT: [11]] [URL: #wyxrZ] So Sweden makes a lot more of its packaging and products recyclable, produces a lot less waste, recycles a lot more of what’s left, and uses a lot of what it recycles.
Then Sweden incinerates much of what would otherwise go to landfill, to generate energy, as many of the other answers note. This process is very closely controlled and cleaned, so it doesn’t just generate a bunch of air pollution. The incineration plants produce both electricity and heat, with the heat distributed to heat water, homes, and buildings in population centers.

How do ballroom dance competitions work? | Many men are afraid to try something new that they aren’t good at . In the US men learn new things easily until about age 12 and then they start to look to their peers for judgement and to try to fit in. If the other boys are not dancing then they will not. Men will play sports until the age of 18–22 then most will quit for the rest of their lives . Boys will play aggressive sports but situations that never with girls and in all activities boys and girls are separated and never learn to partner with a girl and never learn that a girl could be equally valuable . Later in business there are laws to treat women equally but it is not something that has been taught or learned by men. Men often think they are supposed to always be better than women and so they shy away from situations that would have them feel vulnerable. They don’t want to play if they might not win. Men that can drop the ego and take instruction will find so many women wanting to dance with them.

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? | Good question(s) and similar to the ones I frequently receive in my work.
From experience, if I were to detail my routine this would not be sufficient answer. I learned that is more important to answer a slightly different question
How do I know as a startup CEO that I am spending my time effectively every day, performing actions that help me progress while reducing business risk?
Having a decision framework that helps you distinguish important actions from noise, will enable you develop your own typical day, clarify your set of responsibilities, and identify what you should do on a daily basis. Even more than that: as your company grows, you will be able to adapt your routine.

Who is a better Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi or Manmohan Singh? | Modiji is a better prime minster than Dr Manmohan Singh. When Dr Manmohan Singh was the prime minister, he was too busy doing corruption with Congress party and the foreign companies for his personal benefit. That is why, he made the economy of India the worst in the world. Dr Manmohan Singh is an economist and a prime minister for the Congress party. His character is very bad and he does not even know anything about economics. On the other hand, Narendra Modi is a hard working prime minster. He has made the economy of Gujarat State the best in India. He is a great speaker and motivates Indians to work hard.
Achievements of Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Modi is the first PM of India who marked the beginning of a new era in the history of India. He is a disciplined and farsighted leader who is committed to bringing change in the lives of common people. He is not one of those corrupt leaders who only care about their own interest. He fought against corruption and tried to make way for a transparent system in the country. He is directly taking the responsibility for the cleanliness of the country. He banned Rs 500 and 1000 currency notes to fight against corruption and black money. He is also trying his best to create job opportunities by introducing several programmes like smart cities or Make in India or Swachh Bharat. Though he has not been successful in fulfilling the promises he made in the parliament, he is trying his best to fulfill the needs of the people of India. He is also trying to make a healthy relationship with United States of America and other foreign countries.

What are some less known facts about Mars? | Here are some mind-blowing facts about the planet Mars:
1. Mars is often called the "Red Planet":— Mars gets its reddish appearance due to iron oxide (rust) on its surface, which gives the planet its distinct reddish hue.
2. It has the largest volcano in the solar system:— Mars is home to Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the solar system and about three times the height of Mount Everest. It is an extinct shield volcano with a diameter of about 370 miles (600 kilometers).
3. Mars has the deepest, longest canyon:— Valles Marineris is a system of canyons on Mars that stretches over 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) long and reaches depths of up to 6 miles (10 kilometers). It is the longest and deepest canyon in the solar system.
4. There is evidence of liquid water on Mars:— Mars has polar ice caps consisting of water ice, and there is strong evidence of liquid water existing on the planet's surface in the past. Some recent discoveries suggest the presence of underground liquid water reservoirs even today.
5. Mars has the largest dust storms in the solar system:— Mars experiences massive dust storms that can envelop the entire planet and last for weeks or even months. These storms can impact the visibility and even affect the operations of Mars rovers and orbiters.
6. Mars has seasons similar to Earth:— Mars experiences seasons similar to Earth due to its axial tilt. However, Martian seasons are nearly twice as long as Earth's seasons due to its longer orbit around the Sun.

If there are big cats, why are there no big dogs? | Some of the answers mention wolves/dogs don’t have claws. They don’t have as much competition for mates and food. They do not have climbing ability.
I don’t think above facts are entirely correct for all related species and they certainly can’t be cited as reasons for current question. Wolves do have sharp teeth and claws. How can they not have more competition for food and mates, being lower in the food chain and lesser in population and occupying lesser area than bigger carnivores. As far as climbing goes, I’m sure they could work something out with teamwork, if need be, as most related species are found in groups. That’s one thing they and some related species are good at.
There used to be big dogs / wolves too, once upon a time. But they have gone extinct. In fact, I read an interesting article once, which mentioned cats and dogs had common ancestry aeons ago. They could’ve, I guess, considering some similarities between lions and dog / dog related species.
In general, I think dogs lack the degree of stealth and agility some of the cats and big cats have. It would be difficult for a big dog / wolf if it existed to showcase the same, considering that doesn’t exactly seem to be the forte of their smaller counterparts itself. In fact, if you think about it, most of the big species of yester years who don’t exhibit those qualities have disappeared. For a big animal to survive in today’s world, it would need to rank high in the food chain, have enough area to itself and have stealth and/or agility besides the obvious factors like prey base etc. The largest animals nowadays are probably aquatic, away from the hustle bustle of the terrestrial world. Most of the bigger terrestrial animals have disappeared because of above mentioned similar reasons.

What is the most incredible feat of human will? | WIKI: “Shun Fujimoto represented Japan at the 1976 Summer Olympics, where he won gold in the team competition.
“Fujimoto achieved fame by continuing to compete in the team event right after breaking his knee during the floor exercise. He scored 9.5 on the pommel horse and 9.7 on the rings with a broken knee, dismounting from the rings from eight feet above ground and keeping his balance after landing on his feet. He "raised his arms in a perfect finish before collapsing in agony".”

What is the Ship of Theseus paradox? | I’m not sure there is a problem? (not that I could out-explain [LINKED_TEXT: Joshua Engel] [URL: https://www.quora.com/profile/Joshua-Engel]). The whole point of the SoT is to engage your mind in understanding that even the ancient Greeks understood that the further down you go, the less likely your definition of a “thing” is likely to withstand scrutiny. All the wood-changey bits of the story? Neat. But ultimately useless.
Who are you? When do you stop being you.
I had an interesting debate with [LINKED_TEXT: User-11218432271599916107] [URL: https://www.quora.com/profile/User-11218432271599916107] the other day. We couldn’t agree on rigorous details to constrain our discussion. We kept drilling down further and further until we get to a point where the subject of the debate ended up being the rhetorical equivalent of agreeing that there were subatomic particles. That’s the point of this thought experiment. In the end, it drives us down further and further into reductionism.
Okay, WHAT IS THE SHIP OF THESEUS?
“Well, its a boat the Theseus built with his boys. They set sail around the world. Along the way, slowly and slowly, a single board of the ship was replaced, one at a time until the entire ship was replaced at least once along the voyage. When did the Theseus’ ship cease being the original?”
The answer surprises you. It was NEVER that thing to begin with. That’s the correct answer. All answers are —at best— lazy generalizations. We generalize because our brains evolved on the steppes of Africa to identify phenomena visible to the eyes that also evolved there. We didn’t need to see sub-atomic particles (not that we could).
See where we are going with this? It’s no longer a conversation about the ship. We’re now into biology and ontology. But then, we drift into epistemological details like, “But do you really KNOW that the ship was what it was?” And the answer is surprising: “NO”. The ship is a gestalt (just as you are) composed of a bunch of organized energy.
But is it more than just that? Sure it is, but to the universe, not really. We exist in the universe and we bring order to chaos, so we end up going down further and further until we reach some axiomatic details that we agree on and work our way up. Along the way, we learn something about the nature of our own being, about the nature of the cosmos and what it really means to know anything at all.
The discussion ends up leaving that goddamned ship eons ago and we’ve treked through quantum mechanics, organic chemistry, cosmology, philosophy and a bunch of other stuff. Along the way, we learn that the SoT was never what we thought it was any way and THAT is the answer to the problem. It’s an uncomfortable exploration for a lot of people because a lot of people want very simple answers to highly complex problems, so for them, the Ship of Theseus was always what it was and all these other smart-sounding people just over-complicated things.

Why did punk rock die? | In the late 70’s and with 90’s grunge era, punk spoke to the youth. It spoke to a section of the youth that was extremely alienated and basically forgotten. Punk was counter culture, it gave a voice to the disenfranchised. These days punk is mainstream, and in league with big corporations. You don’t get much more anti punk then that. Of course the music scene have changed a lot. Popular music has become very formulaic and restrictive.
However, traditional punk would actually fit in with the music scene of today, to some degree. Music can be very simplistic and repetitive these days, punk also at times had some of these same attributes. It was generally more about the message. You will need a band that can really tap into what the disenfranchised youth might be feeling.

I have a chubbier face even though I have low body fat, will creatine make my face look even more bloated? If so how do I reduce this? | This is from personal experience and the research I've done.
Creatine does cause larger muscle size due to water retention, but I have only noticed it to store in the muscles. This is why most bodybuilders stay on creatine during a show. It will allow them to look bigger while also not having to add more fat to increase size. It also doesn't take away much of their shredded look as it doesn't make fat any more appearent, just muscle.
I personally have noticed no facial growth or swelling from creatine at all and I'm quite lean but also store fat in my face if I build it up.
I suggest giving creatine a go. Worst case scenario your face gets slightly bigger because of some rare case, and then you just stop taking it and you'll return to normal. It's also cheap so there is almost no downside. Just make sure you're taking creatine monophosphate.

How much will liposuction cost in India? | Usually, the cost of liposuction in India is around 40,000 INR to 1,85,000 INR approximately. However, at times, depending on the complexity of the method, you may need to spend around 2 lakh INR or more.
In the table below, the average costs of liposuction in the top cities of India are stated:
Factors influencing the cost of liposuction in India
There are a number of different factors that affect the cost of liposuction in India. These are as follows:
The site to be treated
The surgery may take half an hour to 4 hours as per the area under treatment. Treatment at larger sites like your abdomen will cost more than smaller parts like your neck. Moreover, the charges for one site will be less than that for multiple sites. However, since facial and cheek liposuction needs more accuracy and skill, these may cost more. The average cost of liposuction for some body parts are:
Chin: 35,000 INRNeck: 45,000 INRArm: 60,000 INRAbdomen: 1,40,000 INRButtocks: 75,000 INRThigh: 1,15,000 INR
The volume of fat to be eliminated
Almost 5-25 l of fat is suctioned in the procedure. This requires considerable surgical duration and cost. Small pockets of obstinate fat can be suctioned faster than larger areas of stubborn fat. The more the time needed to perform the surgery, the more the cost incurred. The plastic surgeon will share the treatment aim with you and monitor the quantity of fat which has to be eliminated. This will decide the treatment cost. In one session, up to around 25 l of fat can be extracted. But since it can cause various health risks, around 5l of fat suction is usually recommended every session.
The type of liposuction method performed
The kind of liposuction done influences the treatment cost because every method involves different needs regarding surgical expertise, time, and equipment. Different types of liposuction techniques are available like:
Laser-assisted liposuctionTumescent liposuctionWater-assisted liposuctionTwin-cannula liposuctionPower-assisted liposuctionUltrasound-assisted liposuction
Each method has a different range of costs depending on specific requirements as mentioned. For instance, an ultrasound-assisted procedure can be costly since the ultrasound devices are expensive.
Additional processes and post-operative care
Post surgical care of liposuction is not much expensive. However, additional processes like augmentation can raise the treatment cost almost twice. For instance, liposuction is mostly coupled with a tummy tuck. Another common combination includes breast augmentation with liposuction. The additional treatments are recommended as per your unique needs.
Post surgical care after liposuction is required to relieve complications like infections, fluid build-up or bruising with compression garments and medications. Their costs get added accordingly.

How can I get clients for my content writing business? | Content writing involves writing the content for the website, blogs, online magazines, press releases, and journals. The readers on the online medium are very much impatient and thus they require what they want in the first instance when they watch your content. The average time the internet user spends reading the content is not more than 20 seconds. You need to attract the reader to your website in such a short span of time, thus make the content accordingly. So, the important tips for content writing are as follows:
1. Clear writing is the first important tip for content writing. Audiences on the internet are very impatient, so if you write content difficult to understand then nobody will be visiting your website again. Mention your thoughts clearly and you will be able to hold back the visitors.
2. Keep the content concise. Be direct to the point. Avoid writing descriptively because the reader on the internet is in no way going to read if you include irrelevant content in your write-up. Concise writing is a key to hold the customer. Writing content in a concise manner will help you to explain the topic of the content clearly.
3. Start the first paragraph of the content with the most important point you are talking about. The reader should get a clear idea about what you are telling in the first paragraph itself, otherwise, he may move on to some other website. Avoid writing the background or past history about the topic in the first paragraph because it may keep the reader searching for the relevant content.
4. Write the content rich with the keywords. This is a very important tip for content writing as this way you will be making the content on your website search engine friendly. The term "Keywords" stands here for the terms and phrases that the user searches in the search engines to get information about the particular product or service. Suppose you are writing the content for the website selling leather garments. Then please mention leather jackets, leather belts, and leather trousers in the content. This will make your content relevant for the search engines and you may get good traffic from the search engines.
5. Maintain the keyword proximity and keyword density while writing the content. Keyword proximity is maintaining the proportionate distance between the keywords. It means that you must use only one keyword in one sentence. Keyword density is calculated as the total number of each keyword divided by the total number of words on the webpage. Please keep this point always in the mind and keep away from the stuffing of the keywords because it may show a negative impact on your website.
Always keep these points in your mind while writing the content. This way you can write the content that will attract customers, increase traffic, and finally boosts the sales of your product or services. These content writing tips are very simple to implement in your content. This will make your content easy to understand and also gives you a top ranking in the search engines.
I work as a content writer for a software firm. My main aim is to provide information about the fundamentals of content writing along with the technicalities involved in it. [LINKED_TEXT: The top content’s handbook] [URL: https://amzn.to/3A3IcsN]

As an international student, what SAT score is required to get into the top colleges in the US? | Hard to say… most top colleges in the US practice what we called “holistic“ evaluation. That means they judge you based on many factors, not just test scores alone. So, if you have other very strong edges, they may make up for a relatively lower SAT score.
Having said that though, you must also be aware that top colleges are attracting top talents around the globe. Many of these international students, despite English not being their first language, and they had no US-equivalent schooling, may still score very high in their SAT. So, you will be competing against them. Luckily though, most top colleges made SAT optional in these few years. If you don’t have a high enough SAT score you wish to submit, you may choose not to submit it.

When Jordan annexed the West Bank was there any Palestinian resistance against Jordanian rule? Was the Jordanian administration formally legalized? | The Arabs who claim to be Palestinians were never once offered sovereignty from Jordan, it never came up.
When Jordan annexed the area, a move that was rejected by the rest of the world (with the exception of Pakistan and Britain (later rescinded)), it made the Arabs there their citizens, and with good reason, between 1948 and 1950 the Arabs came from Jordan (at least the majority). They first ethnically cleansed the Jews out of the land, then moved in their Arabs, the ones that later magically turned into Palestinians.
Here is the first charter of the Palestinian authority, what it said about this land:
Article 24. This Organization does not exercise any regional sovereignty over the West Bank in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, on the Gaza Strip or the Himmah Area. Its activities will be on the national popular level in the liberational, organizational, political and financial fields.
Further, the Arabs there have openly stated their intent, it was not to create another Arab state:
Zuhair Muhsin, a military commander of the PLO and member of the PLO Executive Council, clearly said, “There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity… yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel.”

Is there a right way which finger to use when reading sheet music? I would like to take a piano lesson but its expensive. | Yes and no. There are standard and accepted fingerings for scales and arpeggios which are very sensible and efficient. When you download music, look for music with fingering included. Most of the time the fingering is added by the editor.
The no, what is more important than fingering is how you use your arm to place the fingers. If and when you learn to play from the arm and not the fingers, fingering becomes irrelevant. Many of the greatest pianist abandon standardized fingering and use the more powerful and faster muscles of the arm. Art Tatum, one of the most technically gifted pianists ever to live would famously play a blizzard of notes with only two or three fingers. This is because the arm can place a finger faster than a pianist can twist and contort to get a finger where they want it.
Proper and standardized fingering can lead to bad habits if you don’t have a teacher who catches them. Don’t worry about it, many do not. For example, many scales end on the pinky and if the arm is not aligned behind that finger, it breaks the fulcrum of both the wrist and knuckle giving the illusion that the four and five fingers are weak and incoordinate. But they are not. If you play from the arm, you won’t develop these problems like you would if you play from the flexors. Be careful not to abduct (spread out) your fingers. This creates instant tension and leads to dual muscular pulls. Also use the arm to place the fingers rather than twisting your wrist left or right (ulnar and radial deviation) as this will rob you of power, accuracy and even playing. Initiate all first notes with gravity or the weight of your arm. Never press into the keybed. Play on the outside edge of the keys which will be assisted with in/out motions of the arm to equalize the fingers. The more up/down you have from the arm, not the wrist, the more control you will have. Finally, research playing from your pronator and supinator muscles which are around your elbow. Forearm rotation will give you power and speed which your flexors never will. Flexors are designed for gripping, not playing the piano. The arm is designed for playing.
Many teachers don’t know anything about physics nor anatomy so self teaching may be an advantage. If you have a teacher who doesn’t know those topics and allows you to play with an improper movement, it could set you back for years. Your instincts will better protect you from what not to do rather than a teacher telling you what to do and it is wrong. For example, crossing your thumb under your palm. The thumb tendon and forefinger tendons intersect and when you tuck the thumb under, they grind and eventually you may develop thumb problems. Rotation and lateral arm movement can get the thumb where it needs to be much faster and more efficiently than curling it. Plus, if you curl it, you have to uncurl it and that leads to more dual muscular pulls. Your arm can only move in one direction at a time and if you are playing a passage up the keyboard and your are uncurling your thumb down, you are pulling in two directions at the same time and that is what will create weakness, unevenness, fatigue, cramps or strains. Speed comes from all five fingers playing or moving in the same direction at the same time.
Good luck. Take a look at Edna Golandsky on Youtube. She has a lot of instructional videos which can help. In fact, search for her rotation videos and start there. Your first movements are hardwired into your brain’s muscle memory from day one. You don’t want them to be improper movements. They will be there forever. You CAN overwrite them but they will always be there to haunt you. That is why we feel rusty some days. That is because the old movements are trying to resurface. It happens when we are cold or nervous, too. That is why we can play perfectly in our living rooms but make dumb mistakes in performance. It is our old improper techniques resurfacing and taking over.

Can you tame an older feral cat? | Your added word “Older,” [LINKED_TEXT: Hiba] [URL: https://www.quora.com/profile/Hiba-Azar-2], raises some grave concern with me, regarding any answer that includes optimism in this regard (based on my own experiences).
I would have to say that the odds of an “older” feral cat becoming a totally outgoing, tame, lovable and attentive companion that never hisses or growls at you when you pick it up (or, even pet it) and doesn’t always hide within the smallest nooks and crevices within your house are MINIMAL (and, I say this in as optimistically a way as possible!).
If I were to answer your question on a LITERAL basis (“Can YOU [I] tame an older feral cat?”), my answer is a definite “NO,” I shamefully admit (but I did give up after only 10 months’ time…I’ve heard that it can TAKE YEARS, IF EVER, FOR A FERAL CAT TO BECOME A TRULY, 95% DOCILE PET)!! The single time I tried, when I adopted a feral cat because she was pretty and had the same markings (a tortoiseshell) as my previous cat that just died a day earlier, proved unsuccessful for me (as a bachelor, I was highly non-patient and wanted only ONE cat). After ten months of:
1- talking softly to her;2- feeding her from my fingers;3- trying to play with her by pushing little balls along the floor her direction or waving the otherwise highly-effective “Cat Dancer” toy nearby her;4- petting her as she was eating from my fingers….etc… etc. ….she was still growling at and hiding from me whenever she wasn’t hungry. Once she would have her daily meal…OFF SHE SCOOTED, with her ears folded back, to another new hiding-crack.
Lonesome with her was I and, regrettably-to-say, I returned her to the “Humane Society” from where I’d adopted her only 10 months earlier. Many people I know (who own numerous cats and don’t mind that one or so of them retains such elusive a “puss”onality) have since enlightened me that their feral cat either is still in-hiding during most hours of the day or, that it took three or more years for their feral cat to mostly-trust its human caretaker/owner.
Never expect 100% success in reforming such a cat that’s spent its first year or more of life without human love and contact. It will almost certainly ALWAYS retain some traits of its “wild side” with you, such as and likely one or more of the following:
1- ALWAYS hating when you pick it up; 2- frequently trying to find elusive places to relax out-of-sight, rather than curling up next to you in bed at night; 3- growling or hissing at you when you give it more love and personal-contact attention than he/she’s in the mood for at the time4- will only mill about or nearby you when it’s hungry.
If you’re looking for an adult cat to adopt and you only want one, do NOT adopt one that you know is a feral (unless it’s under 5 months old…the odds then are better that he/she will ultimately “forget” its “wild ways” and eventually become totally loving towards you).

What's your favourite British myth or legend? | The Duel for England
Imagine during the Viking Age in England if the leader of the Danes and the leader of the Anglo-Saxons decided to have a one on one winner-takes-all duel for the Kingdom of England. According to Henry of Huntingdon, this is what happened in 1016.
After a series of battles between Edmund Ironside and Cnut of Denmark, the two leaders met at Deerhurst. According to Henry of Huntingdon:
The nobles of both sides said:
Why do we so often rush foolishly into mortal danger? Let those who want to reign as individuals fight as individuals.'
The kings stationed themselves in Alney and began the duel. When both had shattered spears and lances against the most superior of all armour, they carried on with swords. The crowds on both sides heard and saw with groans and shouts the frightful clang and fiery clashes. At length the incomparable valour of Edmund began to thunder. King Cnut, resisting with great vigour, and yet in fear for himself, said to him, 'O most brave of all young men, why should either of us perish by the sword for the sake of holding kingly power? Let us be brothers by adoption, and share the kingdom, and let us rule, I in your affairs and you in mine. Let Denmark also be governed by your imperial rule .' With these words the generous mind of the young man was softened and the kiss of peace was exchanged.
The idea of sharing the kingdom might be a misrepresentation, they instead split the kingdom, Edmund ruling the south and Cnut ruling the North.
The duel is likely fiction but is nevertheless an interesting story.

Should we be disrespectful to former presidents if we disagree with them politically? US District Judge Moxila Upadhyaya referred to Donald Trump as “Mr. Trump” and not “ Mr. President”. | In American courtrooms, all defendants are treated the same. Trump is not entitled to be addressed by any title other than the courteous “Mr.” And since he’s not in office, he is indeed properly addressed as Mr. Trump, U.S. citizen, full stop. It’s an American courtesy to refer to someone by a title that’s no longer active, such as “professor” for a person who’s retired from teaching as a university, or “judge” for a person who’s...

What is on-page SEO? | [LINKED_TEXT: On-page SEO] [URL: https://www.tidaldigitaltech.com/seo-consultancy/] (Search Engine Optimization) refers to the optimization techniques and practices implemented directly on a website's pages to improve its visibility and ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs). It involves optimizing various elements on individual web pages to make them more search engine-friendly and relevant to users' search queries. The primary focus of on-page SEO is to ensure that search engines understand the content and context of a webpage, increasing its chances of ranking higher in relevant searches. Here are some key components of on-page SEO:
Keyword Research: Identifying relevant keywords and phrases that your target audience is likely to use when searching for information related to your website or business.
Title Tags: Creating unique, descriptive, and keyword-optimized title tags for each web page. The title tag appears as the clickable headline in search engine results and is an important ranking factor.
Meta Descriptions: Writing compelling meta descriptions that provide a concise summary of the page's content. Although meta descriptions don't directly impact rankings, they can influence click-through rates and user engagement.
URL Structure: Ensuring that URLs are concise, descriptive, and contain relevant keywords. A clean and readable URL structure helps search engines and users understand the page's topic.
Heading Tags: Properly using heading tags (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to structure content and indicate the hierarchy of information. Including relevant keywords in heading tags can help search engines understand the page's structure and topic.
Content Optimization: Creating high-quality, relevant, and engaging content that satisfies users' search intent. Optimizing content includes using targeted keywords naturally throughout the text, adding internal and external links, and incorporating multimedia elements (images, videos) to enhance user experience.
Image Optimization: Optimizing images by using descriptive filenames, adding alt tags with relevant keywords, and compressing image file sizes to improve page loading speed.
User Experience (UX): Ensuring that web pages are user-friendly, easily navigable, and accessible across devices (mobile responsiveness). A positive user experience can indirectly impact SEO through improved engagement metrics and lower bounce rates.
Site Speed: Optimizing page loading times to provide a fast and smooth user experience. Site speed is a crucial ranking factor, and optimizing image sizes, minimizing code, and leveraging caching techniques can improve loading times.
Internal Linking: Linking relevant pages within your website using descriptive anchor text. Internal linking helps search engines discover and crawl other pages on your site, establishes a hierarchical structure, and distributes link equity.

What are the things that we should consider in preparation for an upcoming earthquake? | Consider all of the places that you might be when an earthquake strikes. What resources do you routinely have available to you in those places? What might you want to have there in case it is not readily available to you? Where are the resources stored? How are they accessed? Are they fixed or portable?
Where are the sources of the hazards? Where is the earthquake fault nearest you and are there others that might affect you?
Who might you want to help? Who do you care about and how will you know the state of their well-being? Who might be willing to help you? What if they don’t help you? Who would you want to contact and who should know about where you are and how you are?
What are the hazards in your environments? What dangers do the hazards pose to you and others? What do you know and what can you do that might be useful in case those things are needed? What will you want and need for basic survival and then for some degree of comfort? What do you expect others to do for you and what should they expect you to do for them?
What steps would you take at the first sign of an earthquake? Drop, cover, and hold on until the shaking stops. Then what? Have a plan in mind. Think it through and practice the steps of the plan to test it out before you are stressed by an event.
Give yourself some contingencies. If this, then that. When this happens, I will do that. After that, I will do the next thing.
Be aware that earthquake happen at any time of the day or night. You will want an enclosed source of light, preferably a headlamp so that your hands are free when you use it. Have several of them and some chemical light sticks as well. Those can be left in places to indicate safe passages and or mark your location for others if that becomes an issue.
Edit: Something that people commonly overlook is to place a set of pliers in your bedroom and pull the very top of the door hinges up a fraction of an inch. This will not cause any problems with your door swing, but if there is an earthquake and the doors go out of alignment in their frame, you could be stuck in your room. By having the hinges in a position in which they can be removed, you can remove the door without having to open it against debris or misalignment.
Test your plans by asking why you would want to do this or that in a particular order or sequence. Understanding your motivations will help you understand your priorities.
Check the Red Cross and [LINKED_TEXT: Plan Ahead for Disasters] [URL: http://ready.gov/] websites for specific lists of things to do.
Lastly, do some research into the historical effects of earthquakes in your region. This information will give you some perspective about what is likely to occur and how it was responded to in the past. Hopefully, that information will give you some level of comfort with your own preparation.
