Which is better for strength training, natural protein or protein powder? | Consuming enough protein is essential for building strong muscles. Protein powder shakes are not a complete replacement for natural protein sources found in your food. However, you may consider supplementing your diet and strength-training regime with protein shakes.
How your body gains muscle
If your goal is to build muscle, three essential steps are to establish a strength-training fitness regime, eat a balanced diet, and ensure you're consuming the optimum quantity of protein.
Protein is a nutrient made up of essential amino acids, the important 'building blocks' of muscle tissue. Strength training causes micro-tears in your muscles, and these amino acids are then used in a process called muscle protein synthesis (MPS) to repair and increase muscle tissue.
MPS leads to stronger and larger muscles that are better adapted to the strength exercises that caused the tears. This process is the reason why both strength training and protein are crucial for building muscle.
The importance of natural protein
Your main source of protein is your diet. For peak physical fitness, eating a balanced, healthy diet that includes enough protein-rich foods and other nutrients is essential. In order to optimise muscle building, try to include a source of protein in most of your meals.
Good sources of protein in food
Lean meats - including beef, pork, and lamb.Poultry - including chicken, turkey, and duck.Fish - including salmon, mackerel, and tuna.Seafood - including prawns, crab, and scallops.Dairy products - including cheese, milk, and yoghurt (especially Greek yoghurt).Eggs.Nuts - including almonds, cashews, and walnuts.Seeds - including pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds.Legumes and beans - including all beans, lentils, and chickpeas.Other meat-alternative products - including tofu, tempeh, and some cereal-based products.
Vegetarians and vegans should take note that plant-based natural sources contain less protein in a given volume than animal sources.
This means that the lower level of essential amino acids they contain is often used up for other bodily functions rather than in MPS.
This said, protein powder or any other form of supplementation shouldn't be fully substituted for even plant-based natural protein sources. The natural protein you get from food is essential for cell repair and growth in every part of your body.
Natural protein sources also provide other important nutritional content too, such as fibre, vitamin C, and antioxidants.
Do you need protein powder to build muscle?
This isn't to say that taking protein supplements in addition to natural protein doesn't have its benefits. The key distinction is that only certain groups may reap rewards from supplementing their diet.
Who can benefit from protein supplements?
Athletes and people who regularly strength train - for people with very high protein goals there is lots of evidence that protein supplements can help to maximise muscle gain, fat loss and exercise recovery.People with health conditions meaning they require a high protein intake - for example, protein may improve blood sugar (glucose) levels in people with type 2 diabetes.Older adults - optimising protein intake could help to mitigate age-related muscle loss.Some vegetarians and vegans - most natural protein sources are animal-based and so people following a plant-based diet might wish to increase their protein intake. Ball points out that many protein supplements are suitable for a wide range of diets, including plant-based.
Protein powders are one of the most popular forms of protein supplementation. These powders are mixed with liquid and come in a variety of flavours, making them easy to drink.
They provide concentrated sources of protein extracted from either animal or plant foods, such as milk, eggs, soybeans, and peas. The amount of protein per scoop can vary from 10 to 30 grams.
The three common forms of protein powder
Protein concentrates - produced by extracting protein from food, using heat and acid or enzymes. These typically contain 60-80% protein, with the remaining 20-40% made up of fat and carbs.Protein isolates - involves an additional filtering process that removes more fat and carbs. These contain around 90-95% protein.Protein hydrolysates - includes further heating with acid or enzymes, breaking the bonds between amino acids and allowing quicker absorption into your body. Research shows that hydrolysates may raise insulin levels - an important hormone for protein muscles - more than other forms of protein, thereby enhancing muscle growth.
Protein powder pros and cons
Experts generally agree that protein powders can support strength training. Whey protein, for example, is the most commonly used and most effective powder.
Studies reveal that it can help build and maintain muscle mass, assist athletes with recovery from heavy exercise and increase muscle strength in response to strength training.
Plant-based protein powders, like pea and soy protein, aren't as effective for MPS as dairy powders, like whey and casein.
However, as plant-based natural protein also contains lower levels of essential amino acids, vegetarians and vegans building strength may consider supplementations to improve overall protein consumption.
There can also be additional health benefits: for example, soy protein powder is derived from soybeans, which helps boost the immune system and supports bone health.
If you're considering taking protein powder to support strength training, there are benefits and limitations to consider. Deciding whether this additional source of protein is worth it may depend on several personal lifestyle factors and preferences.
However, ultimately you should ask yourself whether you intend to resistance train regularly enough to warrant the extra intake. Some studies also suggest that supplementation doesn't always improve all muscle strength markers, even for people who strength exercise regularly.
Benefits of protein powder
Convenience - simply mixing the powder with liquid to make protein shakes is easy and quick to consume. According to Ball, this makes protein powder particularly appealing for those with low appetites and for people with busy lives who don't have time to prepare a whole meal.Speed of absorption - protein shakes are absorbed more quickly than solid food. This is an important consideration for strength training, as consuming them directly after a workout can make them more effective for MPS.Fat content - most have little or no fat content compared to protein-rich food, allowing for an effect focused largely on muscle tissue growth.Quantity of protein - they provide a very high concentrate of all essential amino acids compared to the same serving size of natural protein. However, there are limits to how much protein you need for muscle strength. Muscles can only handle around 25-35 g of protein at a time. Excess protein from an overload in protein shakes will likely be used for other bodily functions.
Protein powder considerations
Lack of other nutrients - natural protein sources also offer essential vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and healthy fats unavailable in protein powder. As such, protein powder shouldn't be taken as a replacement for food protein.Unhealthy ingredients - unlike natural protein sources, they can contain preservatives, artificial colours, and added sugar, although this does vary between powders.Safety concerns - Ball highlights that "there are some concerns regarding lead or heavy metal contamination". In 2018, a report by Clean Label Project revealed that many protein powders contained harmful heavy metals and other toxins that are linked to health problems. Ball advises only purchasing from reputable suppliers.Additional cost - protein powder could end up being a pricey additional cost on top of protein-rich food purchases.

What is a visa provisioning service? | ([LINKED_TEXT: Visa Launches Mobile Payments Provisioning Service; Teams Up With Vodafone – TechCrunch] [URL: https://techcrunch.com/2012/02/27/visa-launches-mobile-payments-provisioning-service-teams-up-with-vodafone/])
A visa provisioning service is the activation of the mobile payment on the smart device using NFC technology. It has already been used by the network operators, financial institution and transit operators to link Visa payment accounts to consumers’ smartphones.
NFC refers to near field communication, a method of wireless data transfer that allows smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other devices to share data when in close proximity.
Consumers could download mobile payment applications onto their phones, for example, a mass transit app for their city’s subway system, and then request their financial institution to activate mobile payments on their phone
Visa’s provisioning service authenticate the user account via a secure passcode, exchange the secure “keys” to unlock the NFC chip, activate the service and finally, downloading the mobile payment account information onto the mobile device.
Visa provisioning service is the result of Visa’s years of efforts on planning and working on secure mobile payments accounts OTA (over the air). It provides a convenient way for the users to make mobile payments available on mobile phones.
Thanks for reading.

What's it like to have a 150 IQ? Is life easier? What are the advantages you feel you have over others? Are there any disadvantages? | Again, which scale are we talking about here? Weschler? Cattel? something else?
It seems like cattel, since the question was about 150+ IQ and I believe you need something like 155 on Cattel for mensa … anyways. If you don’t mind, I’ll talk about 130+ on WAIS-IV … it is after all more or less a standard worldwide unlike cattel.
Anyways, most people above those range will tell you it’s a double edge blade. On one hand, you have a superb ability to learn … well … quite a lot of different. and you can do it both pretty fast and pretty well.
On the other hand, everything is much, much more intense both on an intellectual and emotional sense … which is not always a good thing … though, once you realize how those points affect your life, you’re better equipped to find ways around it.
Second, you have an insatiable hunger to learn new things … not always useful *sweat :D* And a corrolary of that, is that it can be easy to get bored of a particular subject and switch to another one … then again, once you find your calling(S), the reverse tend to be true.
But most of all, the biggest difficulty people like us have to deal with are … stereotyping. Stereotype are some of the biggest destructive thing in the world right now and it affects a whole lot of people including but definitely not limited to us 130+ people.
I mean just watch an episode or two of the “Big bang theory” … I certainly don’t feel like 130+ people are actually well presented here … in fact, it’s just a torrent of stereotype after another. The huge success of that series should be a pretty good indicator of what we can go through.
And in the job office, depending on who your co-workers are … it can be devastating. A really, really common occurrence is sabotage from co-workers; overwhelmingly motivated by jealousy … make no mistake this can cost a lot to us 130+ people … combine this with the generally humble attitude that comes with such a level of intelligence (yes, we are much more humble than most as a whole … there are exception of course, but it’s definitely a trend that is very noticeable) … and well … promotion can be hard to get.
And on the other hand, with the right people in the right environment … well … we do really shine and we are very much appreciated by our co-workers when it happens (I have lived through both stages btw).
To summarize my views (I could do this all day), I’d say this:
We, very high-gifted people, have a lot of hurdles and challenges to overcome in our life … and on the other hand, we are much, much better equipped to handle them. Also, the environment we’re in tend to have a much more pronounced effect than on most normal people.
And finally, we tend to be more intense in general … though they way this express itself can be as varied as the number of high IQ people (sure there are trends but still).
and voila :)

What's it like to have a 150 IQ? Is life easier? What are the advantages you feel you have over others? Are there any disadvantages? | Life is easier as far as you conceptualize it but not completely, there are dangers from pleb-lords and their degenerates.
A WAIS-IV FSIQ of 150 is just around the average Ivy Professor and eight points below those IQ society guys now I see why they are so despised in academia, also the most depraved, motiveless criminals, the happy evil. They mostly get away with it though - See James Oleson.
A SB5 FSIQ of 150 is far higher than the average or highest expected for anything - about 10 points but a starker rarity and impressive enough to be disbelieved entirely, a decade for a WAIS 150 is covered in a week by SB5 150. It assures the future and guarantees any and all of society’s rewards - also Bayesian co-variantly.

What is something that you will never do? | If you are right my answer, then encourage me
There are many things that, as an Artificial language model, I am unable to fully "understand" in the same way that people do. The essence of awareness and subjective experience, however, is something that I have never been able to fully understand. We still know very little about how our brains create our sense of self and our conscious knowledge of the world around us, despite breakthroughs in neuroscience and psychology. Both scientists and thinkers are still perplexed by this intriguing and complicated subject.

Which song that was a major hit for an artist or band also created a backlash for them? | Extreme is/was a heavy metal band from Boston. They pulled a “Kiss move” (“Beth”) and recorded a beautiful ballad (different from the entirety of their catalogue); “More Than Words”. However unlike Kiss they did NOT have a few gigantic hits under their belt 1st. So when “More Than Words” became a GIGANTIC hit, got their video on MTV (when MTV played music videos), got them a major tour, and tons of the fame and attention that they wanted, it was all from 14 year old girls (pop music fans), not the heavy metal fans (15 year old boys) that they were making most all of their music for. All people wanted to hear was the soft ballad…And more songs like it. The band did not have any. “More Than This” was an anomaly for the band. The way “Beth” was for Kiss. {Let me state that not all 14 year old girls like pop music, nor do all 15 year old boys like heavy metal. I am making generalizations to illustrate my point.}When they got on tour and played the entire rest of their catalogue, their “devoted new fans” were in a state of shock. The band never recovered and remain a “One Hit Wonder” for a song totally and completely different from most all of the music that they created.

Sometimes this should be dealt with surgically, with the risk of scarring.In very rare cases, internal organ punctures may happen.Anesthesia involves a small risk of death.Kidney or heart problems: As liquids are being infused or potentially suctioned, the change in the body's liquid levels may cause kidney or heart issues.Pulmonary embolism: Fat gets into the blood vessels and goes to the lungs, blocking the circulation in the lungs. This can be life-threatening.Pulmonary edema: Sometimes, at the point when liquid is infused into the body, it aggregates in the lungs.Allergic reaction: may be allergic to medications or materials used during surgery.Skin burns: The cannula movement may cause friction burns to the skin or nerves.Strictly following the guidelines, eligibility criteria and the instructions of the doctor can avoid unpleasant side effects to the maximum.
After the liposuction operation:
Anesthetic: Those who have a general anesthetic usually spend the night in hospital.

As a nurse, what was the most extreme example you have seen of a patient with addictive behavior? | The patient who most effectively drove home to me just how powerful addiction is, many years ago, was a young man who would periodically slam his hand in a car door, so he could go to the ER and get opioid pain medications.
I presume he did this only when he couldn’t get drugs on the street, but it would take a huge amount of determination—-and cravings—-for anyone to voluntarily do such a thing.

What exercise can lose face fat? | Reducing face fat can be achieved through a combination of overall weight loss, facial exercises, and adopting a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips that may help:
Calorie deficit: To reduce overall body fat, including in the face, you need to create a calorie deficit by consuming fewer calories than you burn. Focus on a balanced diet that includes lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. Avoid or limit high-calorie, sugary, and processed foods.Regular exercise: Engage in regular aerobic exercises like running, cycling, or swimming to burn calories and promote overall weight loss. Combining cardiovascular exercises with strength training can help maintain muscle tone and improve overall body composition.Facial exercises: Specific facial exercises may help tone and strengthen the muscles in your face. Examples include chin lifts, cheek exercises, and jawline exercises. These exercises can help tighten the muscles in the face and potentially reduce facial fat.Hydration: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Proper hydration can help maintain healthy skin and prevent water retention, which can make your face appear bloated.Limit sodium intake: Excessive sodium intake can lead to water retention, which can make your face appear puffy. Reduce your consumption of high-sodium foods like processed snacks, fast food, and canned goods.Get enough sleep: Proper sleep is essential for overall health, including the health and appearance of your face. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to help your body recover and rejuvenate.Facial massage: Gently massaging your face with upward strokes can help improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, potentially reducing facial puffiness.
Remember that losing weight or reducing face fat takes time and consistency. It's important to approach it in a healthy and sustainable manner rather than resorting to crash diets or extreme measures. Consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized advice and guidance based on your specific needs and goals.

Would a random number generator be more or less random than me just randomly saying numbers? Why or why not? | There was a maths professor who during the first probability lessons invited the students to have some fun in the break. They would make two groups, one would generate a true random sequence by say flipping coins or throwing dice, the other would agree upon a human-generated one.
After the break at the beginning of the next lecture they would show the series and the professor would tell at a glance which one was which.

What is the best way to get discounts on hotel rooms? | Personally, I travel a lot for my business. Even still my business is too small to negotiate a great corporate rate, so I use a number of tricks that stack together to get the best savings and reward points.
First I always sign up for any and all membership reward programs for any hotel, airline, car rentals, etc. I build up points to use for free stays or great discounts in the future.
Second, I get a business credit card that gives big cash back rewards for staying at hotels. These add up quick and allows us to buy greats things for around the office.
Third, I sign up for a great hotel discount card, like CheckINN by Corporate Lodging Consultants. They support almost any chain hotel out there, something like 11,000+ locations. They claim to negotiate the best [LINKED_TEXT: hotel corporate rate] [URL: https://www.clclodging.com/how-it-works/hotel-discount-cards-small-businesses.html], up to 40% off the normal hotel lowest rates. You can search on their [LINKED_TEXT: website] [URL: https://www.clclodging.com/corporate-lodging-hotel-finder.html] or their mobile apps, but usually I just walk in the hotel and show them the card, as well as any reward card from that chain, and pay with a credit card with its own reward points.
Its a great way to stack savings and rewards together.

How did a plane crash on the upper floors of the World Trade Center result in the entire building collapsing? | For several key reasons.
Investigators (over 200 from public and private companies, and academia) concluded the WTC towers collapsed because:
the impact of the planes damaged weight bearing support columns and induced torsion stress in the support columns and attachment hardwarethe impact and destruction of the planes severed the sprinkler systems on the upper floorsthe speed and force of the planes stripped and damaged fireproofing insulation on the steel floor joists and columnsan estimated 20,000 gallons of jet fuel was spread over multiple floors; reaching 1,000 degrees Celsius. 425 C softens steel; 650 C reduces its strength by half; 1000 C reduces the strength to appx 10%the duration of the continuous high heat caused the floors to bow and buckle. That created stress on angle clip bracket hardware that attached the floor joists to the inside structure of the towers.as the joists buckled on the most damaged and longest heated floors, stress caused the angle clip attachment hardware to fail. Each floor weighed an estimated 3 million pounds or 1500 tons. Once one floor collapsed, the attachment hardware of the floors could not support the weight and dynamic force from the collapse. This caused the ‘domino effect’ that causing the buildings to collapse within ten seconds

He assumes all these black people would vote democrat after they move to the southern states, thus tipping the scales in the Senate and in Presidential elections.
He may be right.
However, he could accomplish the same thing by encouraging white democrats from the North and West to move to southern states.
Why is it just the black people he wants to relocate?

|
Which should I choose, culinary school or an apprenticeship? | Answer: Absolutely, of course. Of the 9 executive chefs I’ve worked for (counting myself), five have gone to schools. Of the 4 that didn’t, one of them includes Tarver King, who is the greatest natural cooking talent I have ever been in the same room with, and you all need to google his ass, right now.
Cooking school gets you two things, really: professional language, and a foot in the door. By professional language, I mean you will learn what a shotgun pan, a six pan, a china cap, a chinios, a sautoir (versus a sauteuse), a tourner knife, a tammis, a dough scraper, and a scoring knife are. That list, by the way, is by NO means complete. There’s just a lot of specialized jargon. I mean, you’ll pick up all that eventually, but school is the only way you’ll get it all in a year. If you choose not to go to school, you will need to be proactive in learning terminology if you want to be efficient.
The foot in the door is easier to replace. Culinary students all need to go on internships. That was how I got a job with a young chef that went on to earn 3 Michelin stars. Cooking school made sure I had jackets and tools, knew what to call things, etc. More than this, it let HIM know that I wasn’t a total risk. I mean, yeah, I sucked, I didn’t know ANYTHING, but I was better prepared than some schmo off the street. (Interestingly, this is the first time I have ever typed the word ‘schmo’ out, and Quora’s spellcheck seems to respect that spelling. Schmoe, which is what I thought was how you spelled it, is apparently wrong. But I digress.) Anyway, there are other ways to get that foot in the door. You can just go to a uniform store and get yourself a jacket (black doesn’t show dirt, but white makes you look more humble). Then you can go and get a basic chef’s toolkit, and walk up to the back door of the best restaurant in town, and ask to spend the night. They might just let you. If you have a good time, ask to do it again. Do this on your days off for two months, and then start looking for cook jobs. Build your resume out and show that while you’ve just been working at Kmart, or the carwash, or Hot-Dog-on-a-Stick, you’ve been focusing on building out your skill set. You’d be surprised what those stages will get you, in terms of showing your seriousness and dedication. See, those are two things schools can’t teach, and they are what careers are built on.
BONUS ROUND
What is in that basic starter chef’s toolkit? Here is my answer, for Western cooking. (I’ve never worked for a restaurant that was neither European nor American, full disclosure.)
Chef knife. If you want to be taken seriously, brand matters, but I wouldn’t go all crazy and get some $300 Japanese knife. It’ll make the line cooks wherever you go trail resent you, and they will mock you mercilessly. If you just go get yourself a $60 MAC UK-80, you will do just fine. They are light, versatile, and easy to sharpen. It has been my go-to blade for my entire career.Sharpening steel- I endorse MAC knives, but most definitely DO NOT endorse their steels. They are ceramic, and they break like glass. Get an F.Dick. I call mine the Widow Maker. They are built like a brick shithouse and they never wear out.Matfer dough scraper. The most versatile tool in the world. You find uses for one. I call mine the Devastator. I recently got a job with a couple cooks that knew an old chef of mine, and they all called theirs Devastators. It was great. I had no idea that had caught on.Y peeler. Get a cheap one. Plastic. Replace it when it breaks. All peelers break, so go cheap.Plastic-handled tourner knife. They are next to impossible to sharpen, with their curved blade, so treat them as disposable. Their little point is incredibly useful for tasks that you WILL be asked to do on your stages, like trimming baby root veg, peeling cherry tomatoes, or cleaning chanterelles.Serrated knife. You need this for bread. Go cheap, they are impossible to sharpen, so just buy a new one every couple of years.Instant read thermometer. Get a digital one. Spend about $20. Any cheaper and it will either be an inaccurate analog one, or a piece of shit.Stain stick. Especially if you went with a white jacket.Sharpie marker. Every cook, every chef, every HUMAN needs a sharpie in their pocket at. ALL. TIMES.

What are the best street foods in India? | Street food is popular all over the world, be it a hot dog or pani puri. But nothing can beat the variety of street food in India. Simple yet exotic flavours make Indian street food different and our all-time favorite. No matter where we are, be it a flea market, a mall or at Haldiram's, we always indulge in street food. No outing is ever complete without some chaat or egg rolls or pakode.
Here are a few delicious street food from all over India that you simply cannot say no to:
1. Chhole Bhature
Chhole bhature taste best when served hot, they are yummy and filing. The next time you have one, make sure you have built an appetite to do justice to this dish.
2. Vada Pav
Batata vada neatly placed between buns with spicy powder and chutney is the secret of the amazing taste of this Indian burger.
3. Dahi Puri
The Marathi bhai of Delhi chaat papdi, dahi puri is the best way to soothe your palate. The semi puffed pooris with the sweetness of curd and tangy chutney is the perfect way to treat yourself.
4. Pav Bhaji
A mixture of veggies with a few drops of lime to go with the pav dipped in butter is the most delicious way to indulge in Indian street food, especially in winters.
5. Poha-Jalebi
Jalebi and poha are famous throughout India, but the lip-smacking combination of these two tastes best on the streets of Indore.
6. Tunday Kebabi (The Indian Kebab inspired by Turkish cuisine)
Straight from the city of Nawabs, these mouthwatering kebabis are worth trying. Remember to taste them next time you visit Lucknow!
7. Ghunghi Chaat
A huge bowl of yellow daal, surrounded by tomatoes, peas and lime juice, this luscious Bengali street food is the perfect snack.
So which one of these are you going to try out first? Type in the comments!
If you’re going to travel all the way to Hawaii, don’t settle for average souvenirs. Postcards are so cliche -- why not send a coconut to friends and family on the mainland? You’ll be the talk of the town as soon as you set foot off the plan

Question for parents who let their children watch rated R movies before they were 17: at what age did you let them begin watching R-rated movies? Also, why did you let them start at THAT age (e.g. 13) and not 1 year younger or 1 year older? | Sorry, for those outside the USA, could you define what is R-rated ? (It would actually be helpful to see the range of other possible ratings too, if you have a minute.)

My family wants to put my cat down. She started being sick a couple of weeks ago by throwing up and peeing everywhere. I don’t want to put her down. Will the veterinarian let me put my cat down even if she is not sick? | Take her to the vet for a diagnosis. She may need treatment. She may be terminally ill and will require euthanasia. If she is treatable and you cannot keep her ask the vet where to take her.
Never get another pet while you are living with people who treat animals as disposable.

How did algorithms predicting Hillary Clinton’s landslide victory in the 2016 Presidential Election get their prediction so wrong? | Dude, out of 120,000,000 votes cast Trump won by 77,000 votes in PA, MI and WI. Those magical 77,000 votes were just enough to switch those three states from democratic to razor thin margin republican states. Those 77,000 votes gave Trump the majority in the electoral college.
No algorithm, unless written by God himself, can be so accurate as to predict how .0641% of the electorate is going to vote. Come on, give it a break…algorithms do great things and they are accurate to say 90+% of the time but they would have to have been accurate to 99.9359% to have been able to predict the three mischievous states performance.

Why do pitchers get new balls when the balls hit the ground, but when a ball is hit, it is thrown back to the pitcher and put back in play? | When a baseball is pitched, it usually has some kind of spin put on it, with the intention of making the ball curve one way or another while it is in flight. Batters can detect this spin by seeing the red stitching on the ball during the split second between it leaving the pitcher’s hand and crossing the plate.
When a ball gets dirty, those red seams can’t be seen so fast.
This isn’t just a disadvantage to the batter. It’s life threatening. If he can’t read the spin on the ball correctly, he might believe it is going to break away from him, lean in, and get hit in the face or throat by a ball that was actually breaking toward him.
A bright, visible ball is very important for the safety of all players concerned. Baseballs thrown or hit by people at the professional level are deadly flying objects.

What will happen to the twin flame runner if he does not do the inner healing work? | I think they will keep repeating cycles untill they have learned the first lesson .. and it really depends how someone see things how they take in situations and emotions and how they learn from mistakes
Some people can take pain and truths and some people it's hard for them to understand why they are going through this and repeat cycles
I talk from experience and it's not a easy journey .. you also have feminine and masculine energy in you so depends which one is more stronger but that's a whole another topic but i think depending what energy you are in
as feminine energy can be very emotional as women have alot of emotion and masculine energy has emotions but can balance the emotions and keep pursuing what they love so it all depends on your internal healing and lessons you have learned.
To be in Union with yourself is a blessing regardless if your twine flame is not where you are eventually what is destined for you will be destined I wish you all the best 🤍

Why do some generators run on natural gas? Isn't there a chance that in a hurricane or weather event that causes a power outage that the natural gas will be shut off as well? Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of it in these events? | Some backup generators run on natural gas because it is more reliable than needing gasoline or diesel fuel in the event of an electricity outage.
Say there is a huge snowstorm and the power goes out. Your supply of natural gas to your home will be uninterrupted — you can count on that. But your neighbor with a gasoline or diesel generator? He will have a problem when his supply of gasoline or diesel runs out and he has to drudge through 2 feet of snow to go get more fuel. You on the other hand, can stay home. Maybe he will bring you some donuts or something when he is at the gas station.

What will happen to the twin flame runner if he does not do the inner healing work? | Hello, I AM going try to help bring you some Insight into this matter.
The TF Runner who never does the inner work to heal themselves will likely be required to have an experience, in this life or the next, which will allow them to transmutate the Negative energy that remains as the result of their past Ego driven actions.
They may need to have actual life experiences similar to those that they were responsible for causing others to experience, which will allow them to appreciate the perspective of the individuals they once harmed as a consequence of their own intentional actions.
It is possible for individuals to clear Karmic Debt by their own accord, through the concentrated focus of the Mind, by deep Meditative empathic thought, which can provide a path for them to come to terms with their past experiences by allowing them to see and feel things from others perspectives; this process requires great effort and can be very painful.
The outcome of both of those scenarios is the same, they both lead to Self-purification. There is no magic wand that can be waived which allows one to be clear of all Negative energy, there is no individual that can purify another, purification is done by one's self through the concentrative forces of the Mind. The necessary realizations must be had in order to achieve the required Spiritual development.
I hope that this has been helpful for you and I wish you well on your Spiritual journey!

What Tom Clancy games are not based off (or even related to) actual Tom Clancy books? | The ones that ARE based on his stuff:
-there were at least three versions of The Hunt for Red October (a sub sim based off the book, two arcadey ones based off the movie).-Red Storm Rising-The Cardinal of the Kremlin-The Sum of All Fears (though more leaning towards the movie)-Rainbow Six (the first game)-Politika, ruthless.com, and Shadow Watch are loosely based off the first three of the Power Plays books.
As for the rest:
-While characters from his books have shown up in Rainbow Six’s sequels and spin-offs, they themselves are not based off any book.-SSN was a game first, the book is a novelization.-Ghost Recon, EndWar, Splinter Cell, Hawx, and The Division aren’t based off any books, but they themselves have had book series based off them, so other way round for these.

What is the difference between Angular and AngularJS? | AngularJS and Angular are two different frameworks for building web applications. AngularJS is the first version of the framework, while Angular (also known as Angular 2+) is the second version and a complete rewrite of AngularJS. Here are some of the main differences between the two frameworks:
Architecture: AngularJS is based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, while Angular uses a component-based architecture. This means that in Angular, each component is responsible for its own logic, markup, and styling.Performance: Angular is generally faster than AngularJS, thanks to its more efficient change detection mechanism and improved rendering engine.Language: AngularJS is written in JavaScript, while Angular is written in TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript that adds features like static typing and classes.Compatibility: Angular is not backward compatible with AngularJS, which means that applications written in AngularJS will need to be migrated to Angular if developers want to take advantage of the latest features and improvements.Mobile Support: Angular provides better support for mobile devices than AngularJS, thanks to its improved performance and support for progressive web applications.
In summary, Angular and AngularJS are two different frameworks for building web applications, with different architectures, performance characteristics, languages, compatibility, and mobile support.

Do you believe in karma? Why or why not? | Karmic Law does not care whether you believe in it or not, it simply affects you. Try attempting to throw a ball into the sky believing that gravitation does not exist, do you think that ball will go to the sky, obviously no. The same thing with karma, since we feel gravitation every day via our 5 external senses we don’t have that doubt. To perceive Karmic Law we need to refine our internal senses to be able to gauge the impact on our lives. Ref: Jnana Yoga book by Swami Vivekananda

Hello! My Aiwa compact disc stereo cassette receiver’s cd drawer will not fully close. It is jammed somehow but I can’t figure out how. What should I do? | One of the belts turning the drawer motor might have snapped. Or it could be an internal gear that has broken after use. Plastics in this sort of machines usually shrink over time, mainly material deformation. i suggest you look for the model number of your receiver. Find a service manual online. Open it up, if you can find which gear (probably hooked up to worm gear assembly) pushes the drawer, then turn the receiver on. Let the cd drawer close and see why it doesn’t fully close. Either replace the gear or use epoxy/gorilla glue to “fix” the gear (if gluing, as a guideline, try to keep the gear under pressure)

What skills will help anyone make a significantly higher salary as an employee? | Negotiations for a job offer, an [LINKED_TEXT: appraisal] [URL: https://hush.company/work/how-to-ask-for-an-appraisal-from-boss/], or for a promotion could be a double-edged sword. You can do your best but you can never really be sure. There are factors beyond your reach which may affect the decision and a lot may depend on the context. But that does not mean that one goes unprepared into the battle.
[LINKED_TEXT: Soft skills] [URL: https://hush.company/work-theory/soft-skills-for-negotiating/] are the kind of personal and interpersonal skills that help one negotiate through tricky situations. These skills have less to do with your performance and efficiency but more to do with the way you handle a situation or express yourself. These skills and their mastery goes a long way in projecting you as an individual and in reflecting your personal worth to a company.
Many people end up making salary negotiation more stressful than it needs to be. They think of what they need to earn, and not necessarily what they deserve to earn — those two figures aren’t always the same thing.
One of the biggest reasons for not asking for more is fear — of appearing too rude or being money-minded. To overcome these fears, we bring you some hacks to help you negotiate your next salary.
So, whether you’re male or female, in your first job or your fifth, it is time to learn the [LINKED_TEXT: hacks ] [URL: https://hush.company/work-theory/hacks-to-negotiate-a-higher-salary/]for negotiating a higher salary.

What is Kwame Nkrumah's justification for the African Unity based on his 1963 iconic speech on African Unity? | First of all, Nkrumah was crazy as a loon. Once he took office, he made himself “ruler for life,” and forced all his officials to take oaths of eternal allegiance at the penalty of death. He probably had schizophrenia, and observers who did not stand to gain anything from his power often noted his extreme paranoia, and his peculiar hoarding habits.
The speech to which you refer, is, like all his speeches, built upon metaphor and paranoia. He knew his audience, and played to that shamelessly. His choice to garner more power by creating an “enemy” in his stories, while assuaging the fear of his subjects with allusions to his own great power and wisdom, and exciting them with the potential violence in service to the “glorious cause” was clever, and worked for him for years. It is a well-known phenomenon that Blacks like a great deal of noise and excitement, and this is exactly how he spoke in public. His subjects, for the most part, were unable to understand the technics he used and to listen critically, they simply knew it was vivid and stirring, and he seemed to be promising great wealth and power. The fact that he treated his employees poorly and fired and/or imprisoned all who disagreed with him—including high court judges—was probably his biggest mistake.
“Colonialists” (read: Whites) are like the hydra monster and must have their heads chopped off.All nations in the continent of Africa must unite (under his ideology) to take advantage of the continent’s mineral wealth. Of course, not all the countries had or have citizens who like that idea. My problem with this, other than his hatred of Europeans, is that it proved an exciting fairytale for Blacks in America, at least those who sought to gain wealth and power via violence."There is hardly any African State without frontier problem with its adjacent neighbours...this fatal relic of colonialism will drive us to war...African Unity, will render existing boundaries obsolete and superfluous.""Africa’s gold, diamonds, uranium, platinum, copper and iron ores...irrigate Western economies. Fifty-two percent of the gold in Fort Knox at this moment, where the U. S. A. stores its bullion, is believed to have originated from our shores."Speaking of the population statistics available at the time for the continent of Africa: "The increase in our number in this short space of time is open testimony to the indomitable and irresistible surge of our peoples." Nkrumah quoted a number of 99,000,00 plus (“…nearly 100 million people…”) A few decades later: The current population of Africa is 1,368,288,109 as of Saturday, May 15, 2021, an increase of nearly one billion, three-hundred million people. The median age in Africa is 19.7 years."As far as foreign aid is concerned, a United Africa would be in a more favourable position to (get) assistance from foreign sources. There is the far more compelling advantage which this arrangement offers, in that aid will come from anywhere to Africa."“We all want a United Africa…” Yeah, right… I should say, whichever way the wind blows…

How do you know that you have found a true friend? | It was fresh after Labor Day weekend and I was back in school after my wisdom teeth were removed. The bell rang for lunch and I walked out of my class alone, heading towards the cafeteria in hopes my friends were there - I was hopeful at least one of them remembered my birthday because even if I like to keep it low-key, it’s always nice when a friend remembers. As I walk to my table, I see it empty and sit anyway, figuring my friends must be late coming anyway.
My usual group from my table isn’t there, one is quarantining and the other… she’s at another table - and avoiding me. I shrug it off and eat anyway, just using my phone and trying not to think about it.
The same thing is set to happen the next day, only a nearby table of friends I hadn’t thought would want to sit with me called me over, offering me a seat each day until I realized it’s okay to sit with them. We share a fourth block class and it was really nice to sit with them and have genuine conversations for once.
When one of us is sad, we all work together to help them feel better; when one needs to rant, we all listen and offer advice. Someone is being rude to them? It’s a mutual feeling of dislike towards them — you can’t hurt one of us without the others knowing. In a span of a few months, they’ve become a family of sorts. I’ve spent a greater portion of childhood with these girls, having met them at different points in elementary or early middle school, and it’s just fitting.
We take care of each other, and it shows. For our research projects, we all help each other - even if it doesn’t interest us in the slightest; we take ‘family photos’ together during class, and occasionally we take one with our teacher, who has been here for each of us throughout the craziness of high school.
They don’t laugh at me, they don’t mock me, nor do they ignore me. It feels like a safe space, like a true family, and I can’t imagine it being any different.
Not us^
A true friend is there no matter what; there to share the laughs, comfort you through the tears, share in your anxieties, and smile through the amazing moments. They don’t hate you for something small or belittle you for it, they don’t talk to you only at their convenience, and they don’t make the awkward moments feel awkward.
They make a day feel brighter than it might be, fuller than it is, and more cherishable than anything. They make a day seem easier and faster than anything else, and it’s effortless.
True friends are different than just friends to me because a true friend sometimes is like a best friend, but maybe not necessarily one. A true friend is there when a ‘friend’ isn’t because sometimes ‘friends’ in high school are mere acquaintances than actual friends.
A true friend is special, and the ones I hold onto when all else fails, the ones I look to for a gleam of light when everything seems difficult and scary, the ones I look to for a reminder that there are good people in the world, you just have to find them <3
True friends come in many shapes and sizes, but you always know when you’ve found them — just remember to always thank them for how amazing they are.

If you apply as an astrophysics major at Harvard, do you have to get an 800 on the SAT Subject Test for Physics? | I doubt very much that there is a fixed number for a particular test.—colleges are accepting students, not numbers. Get a catalog and application forms from Harvard. That will give you a good idea of whether you should apply.

Since backdoors are quite difficult to hide in Free software, are intelligence services trying to limit the spread of GNU/Linux? | Actually, it’s pretty easy to create a backdoor using the Bruce Sterling Heavy Weather approach.
You make a number of small changes in various places, each of which seems innocuous from a security perspective, but when they are put together, they constitute a backdoor.
Several Open Source software projects have been attacked this way.
I’ll give you one hint on one such attack, of which I am aware, and which so far, no one has done nothing about.
This is a DOS, not a remote exploit, so I’m not “giving away the show” by disclosing it.
In the very large UDP packet realm, there is a packet reassembly queue. Frags from fragmented large UDP packets go into the queue, and when you have all of the fragments, you reassemble the large UDP packet, removing the fragments from the queue.
What happens, if you do not send all of the fragments, but intentionally send all but one of the fragments?
Some Open Source operating systems have fixed this, when I;ve complained about it loudly.
Some have not.
Some commercial products using the unpatched Open Source as a basis for their firmware have also patched it; some have not, either because they didn’t believe the issue important, didn’t understand the risk, didn’t care, or cared very deeply, but had no way to update the firmware.
Like some home gateway routers.
Aggregate backdoors are a genuine issue in Open Source, and are practically undetectable.

How do UPSC aspirants feel at the stage of preparation? | Stage 1 :When you decide to starting the preparation:
This is like “ Love at first sight”
Stage 2 : When you join coaching / actually begin preparation
You get to know thats its not easy , many are trying to impress and marry that girl. You are just one among them. So , you start feeling nervous and insecure. But don’t lose hope if you have faith
Stage 3 : When crack Prelims
You feel like she has invited you for a cup of coffee in CP , Delhi. You are elated.
On the other hand if you fail to crack prelims , you feel like she dumped you and asked you to buzz off.

Stage 5 : When you crack mains
She gives you an invitation to meet her parents. You visit her home. You go in your best attire.
On the other hand if you fail , you feel like she is not much impressed with you and the initial meeting was just infatuation. You get a hint that you need to improve yourself.

She is ready to marry you . You get invited for marriage. Rest of the lie you have to spend with her.

Do I have to look directly into a laser pointer for it to hurt my eyes, or does it hurt my eye when I look where the laser is pointing? | This all depends on power level. With a low-power visible laser (something like 0.5 milliwatts), only looking directly into the beam or a specular reflection of the beam is significantly dangerous. The diffuse reflection from a scattering surface spreads out the power so fast that what reaches your eye is not dangerous.
Raise the power by a couple of orders of magnitude, and even a diffuse reflection can cause instant and permanent damage.
Increase the power some more, and the beam can instantly start a fire, or vaporize what it is focused on (e.g. a laser cutter). Get that in your eye, and your eye is toast (literally).

Who would win: Bor or Cosmic King Thor? | Bor was pretty much on the same level as Odin-Force Thor or maybe even a little higher
Thor almost died in the fight
Until he went all out and killed Bor with Mjolnir
So Odin Force Thor was able to kill Bor. This means Cosmic King Thor should be able to defeat Thor with greater ease than “normal” Odin Force Thor as cosmic King Thor has the power cosmic added to the Odin Force

Which movie do you feel in Tamil is underrated? | Obviously every commercially unsuccessful Kamal Hassan movies ever released in Tamil film industry.
So, I am answering this question excluding that list and this is going to be from 2007–2017.
2007: Unnale Unnale
Some movies have the fate of releasing a bit ahead of their times and suffering a bit because of the timing. Unnale unnale is one of those films. It was a love story alright,but the way it was treated and the close to real life situations ironically made it a bit alien for the mass audience.
2008 : Poo
Based on a short story, this movie is like traveling to a village in southern Tamilnadu and witnessing the simple life of a girl named “Maari”. Her little life and all the complications that happen in it and yet how she smiles.
2009: Anandha Thandavam
If you are a Sujatha fan, you would know how important it is, but again, movies based on books have a bad reputation of not living up to expectations and most people couldn't get it.
2010:Aayirathil Oruvan
Even if any follower of good movies is woken up in the middle of the night and asked which was the most underrated movie of 2010, they would definitely say this name. A gutsy, novel, original attempt at historic thriller.The base story line and the research behind it is quite astonishing. However, CGI was pretty bad.
2011: Nootrenbadhu (180)
For an audience who are used to seeing cancer patient being pessimistic all the time, this movie might have been a bit different and leaving the ending to them was still too novel at the time.
2012: Dhoni
Not the Sushanth starrer.
The “Dhoni” which was directed by Prakash Raj. The movie forced the parents of this generation rethink their parenting rules.
2013 : Chennaiyil Oru Naal
A whole bunch of stars came together for doing a good movie. Starting from senior actors Cheran, Sarathkumar to youngsters like Parvathi ,this movie flaunted a good screenplay that kept the audience in the edge of the seats and most importantly a good message.
2014 : Thegidi
A logically well thought crime thriller with good music and screenplay. But didnt reach the masses.
2015: Enakkul Oruvan
Yet another siddharth starrer that faced an unlucky fate because of the story that didn't appeal to a mass audience.
2016: Zero
A courageous attempt that dealt with the basic religious beliefs but took it in an acceptable approach and the climax just makes you utter a “Whoa”
2017: Solo
I know that Solo was a bilingual.
A film so beautifully handled should be recognized in any language.

What is the difference between granite and marble? | [LINKED_TEXT: Granite] [URL: https://rmsstonex.in/products/granite/] and marble are both popular natural stones that are commonly used in construction and home decor, but they have several key differences:
Composition: Granite is an igneous rock composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, and mica. Marble, on the other hand, is a metamorphic rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate, which is derived from the sedimentation of shells and other organic material.Appearance: Granite typically has a speckled, granular appearance due to the presence of different minerals. Marble has a more uniform appearance with a smooth, polished surface that can have veins or swirls of different colors.Durability: Granite is harder and more durable than marble, making it a popular choice for kitchen countertops and other high-traffic areas. Marble is softer and more porous, which makes it more prone to scratching and staining.Maintenance: Granite requires minimal maintenance and can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. Marble requires more careful maintenance and should be sealed periodically to prevent staining.Cost: Granite and marble can vary in price depending on the quality and availability of the stone. Generally, granite is less expensive than marble.
Overall, both granite and marble have their unique properties and advantages, and the choice between the two will depend on individual preferences and needs.

What happens when you get pulled over doing 100 mph? | I got pulled over doing 200kmph (125mph) on my motorbike.
I was in a rush to get to the first meeting of my girlfriends parents and didn’t want to be late. My flat mate (on the back) and I had come from Canberra and headed up the Hume Highway towards Sydney.
We had been doing 200kmph for about 20 minutes and there was little traffic around so that made speeding easier.
A police car had been behind a tree with his radar out. I didn’t notice him till he lit me up close behind me.
We pulled over and after a berrating about the dangers of speeding, he let up a bit and gave me a ticket for 149kmph, which meant I could ride away.
Unfortunately it was ANZAC weekend so it was double demerits, so I had a $1500 fine and lost my license for 11 months.
I don’t speed any more.

Rep. Jim Jordan (GOP) said that it’s the President’s call to use his private lawyer as the point man for foreign policy instead of a duly appointed cabinet official. Is he correct? | Question: Rep. Jim Jordan (GOP) said that it’s the President’s call to use his private lawyer as the point man for foreign policy instead of a duly appointed cabinet official. Is he correct?
Certainly.
It seems unwise and wasteful considering that’s the job of the Department of State which employs trained negotiators and ambassadors who have years or decades of experience, local contacts and who likely speak the languages. However, the President can make whatever decisions that he wants. good or bad.
Here are the problems:
The private lawyer would have to register as a foreign agent - Failure to do so is a crime.The private lawyer would need to have a security clearance - Failure to do so could allow him or her to accidentally or purposely be exposed to classified information, or to disseminate that information wittingly or unwittingly.The private lawyer would have to not use his or her connections to personally enrich himself as that could be a violation of multiple laws. - Basically the civilian could only work for the benefit of the country, not himself or herself.The private lawyer would have no diplomatic immunity - Basically that’s part of the reason that countries use ambassador and receive limited immunity for their staffs as something going wrong could result in the individual being detained or arrested whereas a person with diplomatic immunity will likely be expelled.At some point the President would have to tell Congress about it and potentially have that private attorney subpoenaed and compelled to testify what he or she said or did - Since they are a private citizen, they would have to employ their own lawyer at considerable cost. if they went in front of Congress or were charged with perjury or obstruction.
Private intermediaries are used all of the time by Presidents. However they aren’t used in the manner that Rudy Giuliani seems to have been and it’s probable that Giuliani’s business dealings were interlinked with his diplomacy efforts which is a potential criminal violation.
Jim Jordan is right.
However, he’s twisting the facts to make his point which makes his being “right” nearly useless.

What do I need to know about the University of Toronto? | Congrats on starting your first year.
Here are 11 points on how, in my opinion, to make the most of it:
“Your time spent in a fraternity basement is not time wasted” - Charles Wheelan. Obviously this point is broader than just frat basements. I’m referring to time spent at club events in Hart House or playing soccer games at Queens Park with friends. Even though there will always be work to be done, make sure you allocate time for having fun, making relationships, and going on a few dates here and there. This is the time to make life long friends and get experience dealing with people in various situations. Relationships are all that matter in this life, so prioritize accordingly. I should mention in parallel to this that alcohol & drug abuse is one of the leading factors that causes depression, so I’m advocating for the comraderie that these activities bring about and not necessarily the libations.Attend every lecture, but don’t take notes. Now this is a contrarian piece of advice, as I imagine lots of people will disagree with me but let me ask you this, do you take notes when a friend tells you a story? Probably not. But you can still recall the details of their story, right? That’s how I treated lectures. The guy or gal lecturing is simply telling you a 2 hr long story. Just listen attentively for the entire time. Additionally, most profs post lectures online so you can always refer to those.CGPA matters the most, so if you happen to be failing a class drop it immediately. Don’t risk it if your already failing a class. Chances are it will only get harder as the class progresses so no need prolong your suffering. This will also save you from having a failing grade on your transcript, which is extremely hard to make up thereafter. You can always re-take the class in the following semester or over the summer.Use the UofT brand to your advantage. You pay thousands of dollars to be there, not to mention that you worked hard to get admission. It’s one of the best academic brands in North America. Milk this opportunity as much as you can and start ASAP. Send emails to alumni who work in the industries you may wish to join after graduation. Get coffees with them. Ask a lot of questions. Do the same with professors, administrators, executives, etc. The more people you know, the more avenues you can exploit to get a job.Go to the dedicated UofT dentist. Some folks don’t realize that UofT includes the price of their comprehenisve dental plan into tuition charges. Even if your teeth are fine, book a cleaning/check-up anyway. You already paid for it.Live in dorms for at least two years. There is no better place to make great friends than in your dorm or residence. I recommend at least two years in a residence, as a result.Budget. This doesn’t mean just monetarily, although that is obviously imperative. I also mean this with your time. The thing with university vs. High school is that, in university, no one is watching you. Go to class, don’t go to class. No one cares. Study or don’t study. No one cares. Ran out of time for assignments submission? No one cares about your excuses (unless you have prior authorization, of course). You are responsible for your own time. No one will be watching what you do, or scolding you for not doing things. Your finally your own boss, but that has its down sides.Exploit resources on and off campus. There is lots of help for students at UofT. Get to know a person in your registrar office, and go to them regularly for help/planning. Familiarize yourself with the placement office and use them to your advantage throughout your university career. They will help you create a good resume, improve your interview skills, and land a job post graduation. Off campus, go to various events on Meetup dot com or through Eventbrite and broadcast your occupation as a student looking for interesting opportunities off campus. People look for this type of initiative. Furthermore, Toronto is a major city…you never know who you may meet or what doors you may open.Get to know at least three profs personally. They are good resources for advice and they are well connected. Also, if you plan on doing a masters, you need a recommendation from a few of them. That will be much easier if you developed a good relationship with them, early on.If you can afford it, take advantage of summer abroad programs. Although I was never able to, these programs are pretty badass. You can go anywhere in the world and live there for 6 weeks with your classmates. Traveling is a great way to broaden your perspective and gain worldly knowledge that could stack your resume. You get a credit for doing it too.Finally, don’t take it all too seriously. Even though you will be dealing with a lot more “adult” stuff than you did in high school, don’t forget that your still a kid. In these types of premier institutions there is a lot of pressure and some people may seem as though they have everything figured out. This can be intimidating, but don’t let these people fool you. We are all unsure and confused, just some of us are better at hiding it. You have a lot of time to figure things out, so don’t put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Just do what your suppose to do, when your suppose to do it, and fortune will bow to your efforts.

Why has India ended up as such a corrupt country, while the USA, being another democratic country, has such an organized and law-abiding government in comparison with India? | We are a set of corrupt people from top to bottom and centre too. The main reason could be we stopped moral lessons from our ancient texts in the name of secularism. We were made to think that material gain is the be all and end all of life process. In the process we forgot our human values and created a wrong society.
