What is the difference between granite and marble? | Granite and marble are both popular natural stones used in construction and decorative applications, but there are significant differences between them. Granite is an igneous rock that is formed from molten magma and is known for its hardness, durability, and resistance to scratches and stains. Marble, on the other hand, is a metamorphic rock that is formed from limestone and is known for its beauty, elegance, and softer, more porous nature.
As a leading natural stone manufacturer and [LINKED_TEXT: marble supplier in Qatar] [URL: https://www.kevaygroup.com/], Kevay Group offers a wide range of high-quality natural stone products, including both granite and marble. Their products are sourced from trusted quarries and are carefully selected to ensure the highest level of quality and consistency.

Without appealing to emotion or using ad hominem attacks, how can I convince conservatives that gun regulation is a good thing? | There is no way to convince gun fetishists.
The most unemotional and logical way to provide an example that gun regulation is a positive thing is by using simple statistics. This shows how much lower the per-capita murder rate is in societies that have enacted sensible gun restrictions. Australia is a perfect example.
However, gun-suckers here in the US are either unwilling or unable to accept the simple and clear truth. Their entire argument is based on ad hominem, strawman, and emotional arguments.
And so, we will continue to exchange innocent lives of children, women, and others in the wrong place so some toothless trailer dweller can caress his precious weapons at night.

Should I read Chetan Bhagat's new book 'Girl in Room 105'? Is it as bad as his previous books? | Initially I was not interested to read this book, thinking it’s gonna be one of those usual but with twists love stories which it usually turns out to be. But I was interested by the prologue of it. This book will definitely interest you more if you are ready to accept the fact that never love anyone too much. Like any other stories of Chetan Bhagat, this book is definitely with a twist, but unexpected ones.
Keshav, who is an Alumnus of an IIT and thinks himself a loser as he broke up with the love of his life, graduating with lesser grades and no job but ending up as a tutor in Chandan tutions, preparing IIT aspirants to crack the JEE exam along with his friend Saurabh, whom he meets as a colleague proves himself to be a great friend in this. Together they solve the murder case of Zara (the love of his life with whom he broke up years ago).
Zara, who had moved on after break up getting along with Raghu, who is a successful IIT graduate, setting up his own company was having that perfect life. She was about to get engaged to him and almost about to marry. On her birthday night, Zara texts Keshav asking him how he could forget to wish her on her birthday. That text from Zara won’t let Kehsav sleep in peace and sets to leave to her room (Room number 105).
With all the efforts, after years of break up, going to wish his ex on her birthday is surprised or more of shocked finding out that Zara is dead. He finds it really hard to digest the fact of her death.
Keshav along with Saurabh tries to solve this case even though they had to drop the plan of investigating further on this case, as they were getting into huge troubles.
Keshav did find evidences and suspected several people to be the murderer of Zara like her professor Mr. Saxena(her guide), Safdar(her dad) , Sikander (her step brother). But it turned out that they were all innocent.
At the end Keshav and Saurabh finally find out the murderer who happens to be the close friend of Zara who is Faiz (family friend, and a reputed military officer). They plan for the family meet so that he can expose the killer in front of all. But there is a twist about who the killer actually is.
Now another interesting part of the story, apart from knowing who the real killer is that was the text really sent by Zara before she died? Or was it the killer?
It’s even amazing to see how an IITian who thought was a loser in his life, turns out to be a detective just to find out the killer so that Zara’s soul can rest in peace.

Why does a short circuit pop a breaker (in simple terms)? | Think of the wires as water pipes. The electricity is the water flowing through the pipes. The circuit breaker is an automatic switch that senses how much water is flowing through the pipes. When the volume of water gets too high (this represents too many amps through the wires) the switch in the water pipe snaps closed. The water stops flowing. In electricity, when the circuit breaker senses too much flow (amps) it snaps open and stops the current flow. Short circuits in electricity is like opening all the water valves as far as you can and letting all the water pour through the pipes. If you get too much water you have a flood. If you have too many amps for the wires, the wires start to get hot. That can cause a fire. So a circuit breaker stops the electricity before you have a fire in your house.

Is I IV V progression valid for other scales like pentatonic, diminished scale or hijaz maqam scale? | Read Mr. Brown’s answer first. He tells you all you really need to know if you are willing to experiment and learn by doing. Read the rest of this answer if that does not give you enough to get started or you are so timid that you need a road map to start anything. It’s acceptable to be timid; a lot of people are not self-starters with music and don’t have the confidence to try new things without knowing what the result will be. Following are some details Ronald left out because, perhaps, they don’t really matter to confident people.
Musicians with natural ability usually don’t need to learn “rules” before composing music because they have already, effortlessly, absorbed these guidelines in the course of learning to sing and play musical instruments. They are shown how to produce certain sounds, quickly learn what they sound like, then reproduce them at will when they “know” that they will “fit right”.
This knowledge is merely an internalization and acceptance of the accepted practice as “right”. Musicians often describe their use of such discrimination in ethereal, semi-mystical terms, usually something like “feeling the flow” or “going where the music takes you” or “getting into the groove”. To many, though, such explanations are meaningless because they don’t explicitly tell you what to do. When you ask the guru what exactly one is supposed to do, you may get a non-answer like, “Oh, I don’t know. Just let your muse guide you.”
The trouble is that most of us don’t have a divine inner voice that directs us to play certain notes or chords. We have no idea what they are talking about. We whine, “Just tell me what chords to play!” And so, one gets a lead sheet that lists the chords to play for that piece. You play the chords in time with the melody. You or someone else sings the lyrics. Now what?
You still have no idea why those chords sound “right” with that song. You know it has something to do with the stated “key” in which the piece is set, but any explanation you elicit is too complicated for you to use and you still don’t know why you’re doing anything. Fortunately, the simple explanation for what “sounds right” and what “sounds weird” exists. Novices usually are not apprised of this idea because their guru feels that it is “obvious” and does not require explanation. Instead, the novice is directed to learn voluminous tables of letter names of tones, some followed by sharps (♯) and flats (♭). That’s the hard way. It can be a lot easier.
What the querent seems to be alluding to in using the term “valid” is whether or not certain chords “sound right” or “sound good” when used as accompaniment for melodies set in scales other than the usual major and minor diatonic scales that predominate in Western classical music. That criterion, subjectively assessed euphony, is mainly a cultural artifact. Simply put, if they use those chords in the music to which you habitually listen, then it “sounds right”. If you don’t routinely hear music of that sort, it may “sound weird” or “discordant” or just “bad”. Such assessments are entirely arbitrary and specific to a cultural milieu.
That said, however, there is one simple way to guarantee that a chord will at least not be discordant: Build the chord using only scale degree tones. Really. That’s all there is to it. “Discordant” means that the chord contains one or more tones that sound “wrong”. The idea of “wrong” is that said tone “does not fit” in the context of the individual notes and chords sounded in proximity to it. The oddball note or chord, i.e., a tone, or chord containing a tone that is not a scale degree, sounds out of place. Is that simple enough for you?
If you wish to strictly follow the musical form that defines the scale you are using, then the deviant tone “sounds wrong” and possibly “bad”. If you like the sound produced, but a note’s pitch is, or a chord contains, a tone that is not in the scale defined for the key signature on the score for the piece, then the piece is probably something more sophisticated than a simple folk tune. It may be jazz, blues, “highbrow” European classical music, avant-garde modern music (e.g., John Cage), non-European music of any sort, or even garage-band thrash metal. Every such genre has its own rules and norms. These norms require the use of accidentals (the musicological term for non-diatonic-scale tones) noted in scores rendered using standard Western musical notation.
So, given that one is trying to use something other than a diatonic scale for a musical piece, what chords can you use? We’re circling back to the original question, to which the answer is, “No.” Chord progression charts you are likely to find will be constructed with the assumption that you are employing a diatonic scale. If you try to “sledgehammer” a set of chords, from a chart organized by major key diatonic scale tonic, over a different type of scale with the same tonic, you will have a lot of accidentals. If two scales are different, and they have the same tonic, then some of the tones in one scale will not be present in the other. That is by definition. It’s possible for two different scales to be coincident, that is, one scale is a subset of the other, but only if the two scales have different tonics.
It is possible, and often convenient, to use a major (Ionian mode) diatonic scale chord chart to figure out a set of chords to use with a different diatonic scale. The trick is to know which Ionian tonic’s set of chords to use for the other type of diatonic scale’s tonic. The common example is to calculate the relative major (Ionian) tonic of an equivalent minor (Aeolian mode) scale. (“Equivalent” here means that the two scales use the same seven tones.)
The usual example is A minor and C major. Rather than get balled up in the circle of fifths and why it explains everything, we are taught to raise the minor key’s tonic by three semitones. One can delve into the idea of key signatures all you want, but if you just want to know what chords to play for a minor key, then counting three semitones up is all you need.
Curiously, instructors seem to always present this information by talking about the Ionian scale first, telling you that you can find a major key’s relative minor by descending by three semitones. This kind of music establishment backward thinking boggles my mind. If you are using Ionian mode, then you already know which row or column of the chord chart to use, the one labeled with the same name as the key in which the piece is set. (Duh.) What you need the three-semitone rule for is ascend in pitch to the relative major’s tonic from the tonic of the minor key given. Again, DUH!
The “relative” calculation can be applied to the other five classical modes beside Aeolian that are not Ionian. In all cases, we need to ascend or descend by the right number of semitones from the tonic of the stated mode’s scale to the tonic of the equivalent (you know, same seven tones) Ionian mode scale.
A surprising number of musicians don’t know about this and only calculate relative major and minor scale tonics. For anything else, they will just memorize sets of chord names and the progression that employs those chords. This is harder to do than memorizing the offset in semitones for each mode from Ionian mode. Since the twelve tone names wrap for each octave, it’s just as easy to calculate an offset of n semitones in one direction as 12-n semitones in the other direction. Here are the offsets for each of the six modes’ tonics to the tonic of the equivalent Ionian scale.
Ionian - 0 (major)Dorian - +10/-2 (Salsa, anyone?)Phrygian - +8/-4 (extremely rare, mainly for simulating “exotic” music)Lydian - +7/-5 (occasionally found in jazz)Mixolydian - +5/-7 (more often than you would guess in pop and folk music)Aeolian - +3/-9 (minor)Locian - +1/-11 (No one uses this, ever.)
There is actually an easier way to do this, but it entails memorizing the circle of fifths, the magic sequence that integrates the entire system of key signatures, modes, scale degree tones, chords and chord progressions. But, the question was about which column or row of your chord chart to use when you need a set of chords to play in some diatonic mode other than Ionian with a given tonic. If you just memorize these six offsets, you will be able to count up or down from the stated tonic and use the chords indicated for the equivalent Ionian tonic. Easy-peasy.
Music instructors are fond of explaining this offset scheme in terms of the diatonic scale degrees, which is a more complex calculation, and it boils down to counting semitones anyway. Guitar players can do this more easily than keyboard players by counting frets from the target mode’s stated tonic on a string, going the required number frets (i.e., semitones) from it, and then determining, “What tone is that?”
This scheme only works for the seven modes of diatonic scales. If you are using any other type of scale, you must forget about chord charts showing sets of chords for diatonic scales and revert to the simpler model of using only chords whose component tones are scale degrees of that scale.
I answered this question because I was struggling to come up with some better chords for an original arrangement of the song Misirlou. My research revealed that the song uses the maqam hijaz kar, also known as the Byzantine scale. I could easily figure out what tones were scale degrees, but figuring out the full set of chords composed of scale degrees was tedious and I gave up. Fortuitously, an internet search yielded this web site that showed everything I need to know.

This one page, by itself, is an app that serves as a chord chart for any scale listed, with any tonic. If you don’t feel like memorizing anything at all, just bookmark that page. It’s magic. You can change the tonic and the scale type to anything you need chords for. You don’t have to learn any music theory unless you want to understand why certain chords work well together in a given scale with a given tonic.
I’ve made several references to “magic” incantations. There are four sequences to memorize that if applied explain everything. I won’t explain them here because I’ve already done that several times in other answers.

Why Tipu Sultan can't be considered as patriot of India? | A patriot is someone who loves and / or supports their country.
So there is no objective reason why Tipu Sultan can't be considered a patriot. By the very definition he is a patriot.
We can call him a religious bigot, cruel, power hungry, usurper and a lot of other things. But we can't deny his patriotism.

How do I translate Hindi sentences in Sanskrit? | When you translate a sentence into any other language , basically you need to have knowledge of the language into which you want to translate.
Just translating word by word taking the help of dictionary will not help!!
Hence, minimum knowledge of word meaning, recognizing the subject ( kartru Pada) object( karma Pada), and verb( kriya Pada) is very much essential.
Next comes right way of using vibhakti pratyayas and lakaaras.
For example-
Boy reads a lesson-Baalakaha paatham pathati.
Ladka padta hai.
Kaaraka ( cases) is very important in both Hindi and Sanskrit languages.
Shubham bhooyat :)

What are your silly little parenting tricks that you're so glad you discovered? | The silliest little parenting tricks that I am really glad that I discovered is:
To let kids answer before giving them my answer.To answer their doubts honestly and not to tell them fairy tale stories on important things.To pick correct method and ways to explain stuff.To show them that giving weird expressions or talking stupid at times is completely ok by showing them my crazy side.Explaining certain situations by asking advice from them. Kids at times give mind blowing advices.
Incident 1. This happened a year ago. We were watching the movie named as 3 idiots, there was a scene where Aamir Khan helped a lady deliver a baby. My daughter asked me how he went inside the blanket empty handed and came out with a baby. She asked me,” How did the baby come out of that lady's stomach?”.
My son and my daughter looked towards me expecting an answer.
My daughter asked me,” Are there eggs in her stomach and did the baby come out of the egg?”
I asked my daughter to grab her science book and I opened the chapter on mammals.
We forgot the movie and muted the TV and I showed them the pictures of mammals and I told them that just like mammals there are oviparous animals.
I told them that human beings are mammals and hence we can't lay eggs and that just like cow, goat, giraffe we too give birth straight to our mini versions.
My daughter questioned me again,” But, how did he take the baby out of her stomach”.
I said that he didn't take the baby out but instead the baby came out naturally.
She asked me,”But how?”
I asked them if they have seen a cow give birth to a Calf. They both shouted an yes.
I asked them how the baby calf had came out. My son said,” from where the cow drops cow dung and passes susu(urine)”.
I said,”Exactly!”
My daughter asked me again,” I know how a cow gives birth amma(mom). I am asking about the woman in the movie”.
I said,” She is a mammal too just like a cow or a goat”.
My daughter blinked not understanding and my son hit his forehead with his palm and said,” Aiyoo…Sanju, if cow gives birth from where it susus(urinates) obviously even she would have given birth the same way”.
I sat open mouthed listening his explanation. I didn't get this logic when I was 20 years old and ended up getting scolded by the doctor for asking her how come a baby that big come out and from where(facepalm).
My daughter put on a yucky expression and asked me if they were born the same way. I told them that there are other methods ‘manual methods' when something doesn't work out naturally and I showed them the 9 inch Caesarean cut and told them that they were pulled out from my stomach by tearing it a bit(yes, I did say it in a dramatic voice.. hehehehe)
(As I am typing this I suddenly remembered Macduff from Macbeth. This is what happens, my mind just drifts away ;-p)
Incident 2:
This happened recently when my daughter was staying at my mom's place and me and my son were watching a Tamil flick and there comes an Ad of Zivame. My son turned towards me and asked me what it was.
I said,” you say Arjun. I think you know”
He said,” girls wear it inside their clothes Amma(mom)”.
I said,” hmmmm”.
He then asked me,”Do you wear it too? But why doesn't Sanju(his sister) wear it then?”
I pulled out the strip and casually said,” yes, I do wear it and Arjun are there small girls in the Ad? It is for elders Arjun and also it's one's personal choice too. It's one's wish to either wear it or not”.
He said,” Why should only elders wear it?”
I said,” You used to roam naked in the house when you were 2 years old. Do you do the same now?”
He wailed,” Ammaaaaa(moooooom) I have grown up now and I feel shy to walk around naked. What mom, you don't even know this?”
I then told him that everything depends on time and that there are different stages in life to do certain things and to wear certain things. Just like he will start getting a moustache one day, girls too undergo certain changes and hence they might feel comfortable wearing certain types of clothes and that we must respect each other's choices.
He nodded his head agreeing and we both went out to the car shed to play football.
On a lighter note. Whenever my mom asks me not to put my son in boarding as she fears that he might learn unnecessary things at a young age from other kids my mind voice will be “I will be happy if this fellow doesn't spoil anyone's mind with such questions”.
Kids ask tons of questions everyday and sometimes I stammer to give proper answer to them. I am careful to give educative and informative answers without making it sound awkward or which builds unnecessary curiosity in them.
If anyone think of it as an easy job, ask the parents of 2 curious kids, they will better answer as to how difficult it gets at times to answer their questions without picking a cane to teach them lessons.
Thank you and happy parenting everyone. :D

I am physically fit and have a proper diet, however, my BMI of 18 suggests I’m underweight - how is this possible? | I am physically fit and have a proper diet, however, my BMI of 18 suggests I’m underweight - how is this possible?
Timothy might be right. After all, he knows nutrition. The BMI was implemented to categorize a person's weight, not to make medical recommendations. For that, get a doctor. But if you want to know how the medical profession feels about your weight, use their BMI. You didn't mention your age, so here is another for teens and children.
[LINKED_TEXT: BMI Calculator for Child and Teen] [URL: https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/bmi/calculator.html]
Regardless of what the BMI was originally created for, today it is used by the medical profession to categorize weight. If it offends you, talk to your doctor about it. In some cases BMI is not accurate, and is not used. When you look at some athletes they will not be overfat, but BMI will classify them as overweight. Not sure how you would explain that for an underweight person, but talk it over with your doctor. Maybe together you can come up with a credible reason.
Timothy does make some really bad mistakes about BMI in talking about the most physically fit people in the world, the athletes. Even though not that many are outside of the ‘normal’ BMI range, the medical profession doesn't use BMI on elite athletes. Timothy would have a great deal of trouble naming even one elite runner that has an overweight BMI. Usain Bolt, being the most elite runner has a ‘normal’ BMI, as do the others he is competing with.
Again, elite athletes are not using BMI, so especially don't expect Olympic weightlifters to concern themselves with it. However, if you have seen them, you would see many also have an exceptionally high amount of body fat.
So saying weight lifters are in ‘peak physical condition’ might be a bit of a stretch. That some are considered obese by BMI might be a fair assessment.
Christian Renaldo is another great example of why you don't use BMI on elite athletes. Even though he was named the fittest man in the world, at 6′ 2″, and 184 pounds he is ‘normal’ according to BMI. BMI does not take into account that he is a professional footballer that trains for 3–4 hours per day, five days a week, and only looking at his height and weight calls him ‘normal’.
Normal is NOT to train, at all. With 86% of Americans saying they never exercise, that is 'normal', not up to 4 hours per day, and 5 days every week.
So the more distant a person is from the norm, strangely, the more likely they are to get a ‘normal’ from BMI. The big exception being with elite weight lifters, and models. If you have had a chance to look you would have seen the average for models is around 17.5–18.
In the end it is your body. If you are concerned why the medical profession would consider you slightly underweight you can always ask. But, just because the BMI doesn't give you the answer you want, I would not ignore it. It is an indicator, like blood pressure, or blood sugar, that your doctor can explain the risks to you. From that, you can determine if you are underfat, under muscled, or of low bone density.

Can humans implant chlorophyll in their DNA and obtain energy through photosynthesis without eating to survive? | If that were possible, which it is not, you would need leaves and branches and have to stand in the sun with your arms outstretched all day. Chlorophyll is not made from a plant’s nucleus, but Chloroplasts! They would be passed down through the female cytoplasm. Of course, we would have to be green.
We are so highly develloped as humans that if you think about it, it is so farfetched, we would have to go back a billion years to our common plant ancestors and start afresh.

Why are ENFPs always so popular? | Frankly, I think it’s really very simple and not all that deep.
I can’t say I’ve known a ton of ENFPs, but the people I’ve encountered whom I read as being ENFPs generally fit the following:
Are naturally, genuinely friendly. And I don’t think most people are. With some people, you get a feel like they’re specifically trying to network, or it’s otherwise professional-related. With most people, it’s more like, “This is what I’m supposed to do”. With many people, you know it’s fake, or you figure out at some point that it is. I know a lot of “smile in your face, talk behind your back” people. And not that ENFPs never talk behind anyone’s back, because they do. But I’ve found that it’s more like, “I don’t mean any harm, but this is just true”. With them, they’re not friendly because that’s society’s etiquette rule, like everybody else, or because they see you as a potential business contact or because you work together or whatever—that’s just how they are.I think it’s really hard for them to dislike or hate a person, and it seems like it does have to be earned. This is especially interesting with the women, because women generally are very good at disliking/hating other people for no real, legitimate reason. But ENFP women give props where props are due. They’re not threatened by you for no inarticulate reason—if they see something good in you, they’ll tell you and compliment it. They see the good.The flip side of that is I don’t think they always see the bad or when something’s not working with someone socially, and it can be hard to deal with people like that because you can’t really tell them anything where that’s concerned (meaning they don’t listen when you point out serious flaws in others). But in general, it’s not so much that I feel like they accept everybody (because I don’t know that I ever have really been accepted by one) as it is I feel like it takes a lot for them to be like, “Okay, I don’t like this person,” or to start just trashing you behind your back with more than just “I’m stating facts” / “I’m teasing” intent behind it.They’re the type most likely to say stuff about uplifting people, supporting people, sticking together, we’re all equal and all of that stuff that I usually find to be complete bullshit and is almost always complete bullshit when someone else says it…and actually mean it and think it and act like it. And this, along with the genuine friendliness and my last bullet point (which really are kind of different ways of saying the same thing, I think), might be the biggest reason why they’re so likeable and popular—it’s the fact that most people get the vibe from them that they are genuinely thinking and acting like we’re all “the same” or all “a community” and supportive or whatever nonsense. And that can lead to issues if they really can’t recognize and respect how you’re actually not the same, how the world is not just one big community, that you’re never going to get everyone to support everyone else and all of that. But being ahead of everyone else on this is admirable and attractive anyway.
They have a fun-loving side. Sometimes at the expense of getting down to business, which can be irritating. But it’s like how babies, kids and dogs can be irritating a lot of the time, i.e. they’re still cute 90% of the time instead of them annoying you so much that you want to cut ties. Hard to stay mad at because, even if you don’t consciously think it, you know they don’t really mean any harm…and also because of the irresistible light that comes from their personality most of the time.They appear to be naturally good at stuff that most people aren’t. And it can differ from ENFP to ENFP. But they’re the people I usually watch and am like, “How are you so good at that??” or “How did you do that??” Always mesmerizing to watch them in these moments.They talk to everyone as if they’re already friends. Which is kind of an example of a “how are you so good at that” thing. They hardly ever seem uncomfortable with anyone new—or, really, with anyone—which is why it’s kind of interesting to read from many ENFPs that they act shy or are quiet around their love interests.

Can you show me your shirtless body (only boys)? | |
What’s your best advice for a 17-year-old turning 18? | Wearing makeup is an option based on what you feel like for the day, not to impress someone else or to fit in. Dress for yourself not for someone else. If you want to be fancy and wear makeup cause it makes you feel good, do it! If you want to wear sweats and have messy hair and no makeup, do it!Your opinion of yourself matters more than anyone else's opinion of you.Don't be afraid to show your weirdness; some of your best friends may share those quirks.Laugh at dumb jokes and don't get offended so easily. Have a good sense of humor and don't be afraid to laugh things off.Set your own standards and keep strong to your own morals.You're in control of your own life, don't let anyone tell you differently.Choose to be nice. When you're stuck between being rude or mean to another individual because they're different from you or rude themselves; be nice. "Kill 'em with kindness" works every time.Don't be afraid to be different. Be a leader not a follower. Your life will be much more interesting.Include everyone. People may surprise you and you'll never truly know a person until you give them a chance. Include everyone. People may surprise you and you'll never truly know a person until you give them a chance.Your boobs will come in when you least expect it so don't worry and if they stay small- own it.Own you! You're the only you in the world, so own itBe confident; not cocky. People like a strong, charismatic, confident individual who is kind to everyone and has a strong sense of who they are while staying humble. Staying humble is key because there will always be someone better than you at something.Be happy. Happiness rubs off on others. It may take extra effort at first but in the end it'll be easier and you'll find yourself enjoying life much more. Stay positive and find the brighter side in every situation no matter how hard it may be.Know that everything happens for a reason and trust in God. He knows what's up.Don't worry about dating. You're a teen- you have PLENTY of time to date.Know that your parents are there to support and help you. They love you and are just looking out for you because they want you to be happy. Don't be afraid to talk to them. They've already gone through this part of life; they know what you're feeling.Have a small but mighty set of friends that you can be vulnerable with.Say thank you. This may seem simple but by merely showing your gratitude in a situation or to another individual will not only make you feel better, but the person you're saying it to feels appreciated as well.Family comes first. Don't forget your roots. Spend time with the people who love you most.Pick your battles. What is really important to fight about and what can you just let go of and forget about? Is this really gonna matter in 5 years? If yes, then fight it but if it really isn't, then just let it go.Don't hold grudges. This may be one of the hardest pieces of advice to follow but you'll be happier the sooner you can let things go and get over itKnow you're not alone. Every girl is lost and has questions at some point in her life and most of the time it's in her teen years. Don't be afraid to try new things but remember to stick to being you. You are special and as Sierra Boggess says, "You are enough. You are so enough. It is unbelievable how enough you are."
Hoping for the best,

Is it safe to apply aloe vera gel on the face overnight? | Applying [LINKED_TEXT: aloe vera gel] [URL: https://www.buywow.in/products/aloe-vera-face-wash-for-glowing-hydrating-soothing-skin] on the face overnight is generally considered safe for most people. Aloe vera has soothing and moisturizing properties that can benefit the skin. It can help hydrate the skin, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. However, it's important to note that everyone's skin is unique, and some individuals may experience adverse reactions or allergies to aloe vera.
To ensure safety, it's recommended to perform a patch test before applying aloe vera gel to your entire face. Apply a small amount of gel to a small area of your skin (such as the inner forearm) and leave it on for 24 hours to check for any adverse reactions.
Additionally, if you have sensitive skin or are prone to acne, it's best to choose an aloe vera gel that is specifically formulated for the face and labeled as non-comedogenic (won't clog pores).
Lastly, be cautious if you are using aloe vera gel that contains other ingredients or additives, as they may not be suitable for overnight use. Always read the product label and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
If you have any concerns or questions, it's advisable to consult with a dermatologist or healthcare professional.

Who is the most vile and heartless villain in comics? | I'll show you a villain who manages to be both realistic and unrealistic at the same time, a villain in a position of power, a villain which most people don't even know about, underrated character from a comic who's currently underrated and “old".
God's will himself, Pope Innocent XLII:
(Grendel Omnibus TPB 3(part 1))
If you look at him under the civilians's point of view, Innocent seems to be a charismatic and caring leader, with his sweet words coming from the lord Almighty himself:
He represents God’s will. Being the Pope and the most powerful man on Earth, all of his actions are seen as beneficial to others and purely altruistic. While his rival, Grendel, is the will of the Devil:
Grendel wishes to overthrow Innocent's government, Grendel is completely demented, uncharismatic and downright demonic:
However, Grendel is seemingly more “heroic and admirable” than Innocent, because Grendel doesn't lie about what he wants and what he's willing to do, he doesn't hide that he isn't good, he doesn't hide behind social masks, Grendel is his face.
Innocent looks good on the surface. Inside, he's a snake:
With a eyes who burn like Hell itself:
Innocent is completely narcissistic and doesn't accept when people don't treat him as he sees himself:
Innocent doesn't mind mass murder if it fits his objectives:
Innocent is completely blind to the people's suffering:
He doesn't care about them or their feelings, he doesn't care about children:
If you don't share his beliefs or don't treat him with respect, this is what happens:
And those who don't survive the torture are thrown for a crocodile to eat:
Innocent is a perfect example of what happens when you leave a fox in charge of taking care of the chicken, a devil in charge of a church……Literally:
(Grendel Omnibus TPB 3(part 2))
Innocent isn't just an evil, narcissistic bastard, the hole is much deeper.
And he's a VERY known enemy for Grendel readers, he's Tujiro:
(Grendel Omnibus TPB 2(part 1))
As Tujiro he was also one of the creepiest guys I've ever seen:
Initially, he just had this creepy vibe that one might thought it would be just a performance of his…..But that changed when he got personally involved on a child's disappearance:
Tujiro hunted down innocent children, took their eyes as trophies:
Drank from their blood, and he cherished every minute of their suffering:
Tujro is a monster, a devil more perverse than Grendel ever managed to be, an uglier entity than Argent the Wolf:
This is a monster who has been hunting down men, women and children for more than hundreds of years, who ended up becoming the most powerful man on earth, and used his money and resources for his own selfish desires, like rendering the entire planet cold and dark, with the exception of the church:
(Grendel Omnibus TPB 3 (part 1))
He's one of the most evil villains I've ever seen, and I daresay THE most evil villain I've ever seen. And unlike many others I've seen in both comics, movies and books, he feels almost real.
His time as Tujiro could be compared to the Butcher of Rostov:
His time as Pope Innocent could be compared to Vlad the Impaler:
He feels like the same kind of twisted evil we have seen throughout the years, and that only makes him scarier to me.

Did Yoko Ono attend Linda McCartney's funeral? | No she did not. Over 4000 held a vigil for Linda and the funeral was attended by many well known people including George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Yoko did not attend but it’s surprising that Julian Lennon, who still calls Sir Paul “Uncle Paul” nor Sean Lennon attended either. Julian is especially close to Paul and family and Sean is a frequent visitor to the McCartney home as well.

What are some little known benefits to leasing a vehicle rather than purchasing? | YES, leasing a car is good for some and also NO for some. It cannot have a one-sentence answer. It will be a good decision depending on the priorities and the expectations you have from the car.
What is leasing? Instead of getting a car of your own, you rent a car for a certain period of time at a fixed rate. So, obviously it will have some advantages and disadvantages that will be decide whether it is fit for some.
Pros of Leasing a car
If you need a car for personal use or business purpose for a small period of timeIf you have a budget crunchIf monthly small payment fits youIf you want different cars over the year or every yearIf you do not want to worry about the maintenanceIf you want to maximize tax deductions
For any of these conditions, leasing is a very good option.
Cons of Leasing a car
You won’t be able to resale it and gain some amount.This is not at all fit for those who are looking for long term consideration.Very less or no flexibility in leasing a car.Forget about the customization; they may even ask you to reverse modifications which will be expensive.If met any accident before the lease is completed, you have to bear some extra charges above the insurance coverage.
Pros of Buying a car
You have your own car, the biggest advantage.You can resale your car anytime and gain a huge amount at one go.Customization is not an issue; you can proceed with the modification as much as you want.If you need the car for a long tenure and want to use it as your flexible hours, then owning the car is the best way.If monthly payment is feasible for you, you can opt for a car loan anytime. So, [LINKED_TEXT: car loan vs car lease] [URL: https://blog.droomcredit.com/car-loan-vs-car-lease/] can be a topic of concern. When you are ready to pay small instalments, why not opt for EMI.
Cons of Buying a car
You have to bear the maintenance cost.Depreciation of car value can be an issue.
Hopefully you can pick your preferable pointers to decide whether leasing is good idea for you or not.
Hope it helps!

What are some possible causes of sciatica and lower back pain? | Sciatica refers to back pain caused by a problem with the sciatic nerve. This is a large nerve that runs from the lower back down the back of each leg. When something injures or puts pressure on the sciatic nerve, it can cause pain in the lower back that spreads to the hip, buttocks, and leg.

Why does modern English have so less Celtic words than Franco-Greco-Latin ones, even though the Anglo-Saxons and the Celts were intertwined for most of their history while the French kings ruled only conquer and rule England in a few short decades? | Celtic words in French are nearly all restricted to farming because the Latin speaking overclass were city dwellers so regional farming terms survived. Celtic languages and Latin also existed side by side for around 500 years with the native leadership adopted Latin rather than a completely new leadership imposed over the population.
In Britain the Anglo-Saxons did their own farming so even where they took over regions with Celtic speaking farmers they had those Anglo-Saxon farming terms around to influence the Celtic speakers.
That said, upland shepherding in northern England preserved a system of counting sheep that appears to have been a survival of Celtic referred to as yan-tan-tethra. There may have been other survivals prior to the industrial revolution that died out with the changing of technology and changes to farming.
The Normans introduced a lot of words into English while they were in the ascendancy and Anglo-Norman French was the language of the upper classes for 300 years. That’s more than enough time to introduce words from a prestige language to one of lower prestige.

What’s the point of the British guards (red suits and black hats)? Are they actually trained to take down threats? What weapons do they have? | Those ‘British Guards’ are fully trained front-line soldiers many of whom have done multiple tours of Afghanistan and Iraq, and won gallantry medals during those tours. There are a number of regiments who wear their ceremonial uniform when guarding Buckingham palace and other sites but make no mistake - they are fully trained soldiers and they are authorised to use their bayonets if threatened. They will have had special training for the guard duty too.
Others I am sure will post exact information about the troops that form the guard regiments, and that includes the household cavalry (their ceremonial uniform includes the metal breast plates and metal helms with the white plumage) as front line troops they are a mechanised unit with APCs and light tanks who have served with valour in a number of places.
For any of those troops, being asked to wear ceremonial uniform as part of a guard duty is a great honour.

How do you imagine life in 100 years? | Arthur Clarke observed that humans are over-optimistic in the short run and under-optimistic in the long run. In 1850 a farmer might have wished for a draft animal four times stronger than a big ox that ate practically nothing. He never would have imagined an air conditioned John Deere tractor.
In a hundred years I expect material science will have perfected lightweight metal substitutes. People will be bidding on the “mineral rights” of ancient landfills where they will be extracting valuable plastics and other non-biodegradable things of great worth. Most people will have banked genetic material for replacement organs but robotic nanosurgery will have made complete organ replacement pretty rare. The whole fad of carbonophobia will have faded well into the past but politics will have landed on new pseudo-fears to exploit. Mandarin flavored Spanglish will be a common language used by much of the world with a Pacific coast.

What is the most incredible feat of human will? | “Where there is a will there is a way”.
This sounds cliche, but a human with resilient spirit always prove this to be true.
The boy in the picture wanted to get to France for greener pastures. This is what he did.

He hid in the engine of this private jet in a bid to get to his desired destination.
He had no fear of falling. Maybe he never thought he would be discovered.
Thinking of doing something like this gives chills. He was arrested by the Ivorian military airbase.
It shows the extent some could go to see their desire come through.
This is incredible though not commendable.

How do you think Keanu's death will affect Sharon's character development in EastEnders? | Keanu's death is a major turning point for Sharon's character in EastEnders. She has always been a survivor, but this is the first time she has experienced such a devastating loss. It is likely that her character will be changed forever by this experience.
In the short term, Sharon is likely to be consumed by grief. She may lash out at those around her, or she may withdraw into herself. She may also struggle to cope with the practicalities of life without Keanu, such as raising their son, Dennis.
In the long term, Sharon's character may become more hardened and cynical. She may lose her faith in people, or she may become more ruthless in her pursuit of her own goals. She may also become more protective of Dennis, and she may be less willing to trust others with his care.
It is also possible that Sharon's character will be redeemed by Keanu's death. She may realize that she has been taking life for granted, and she may become more determined to live her life to the fullest. She may also become more selfless and compassionate, as she tries to help others who are grieving.
Only time will tell how Keanu's death will affect Sharon's character development. However, it is clear that this is a major turning point for her, and it is likely that her character will be changed forever by this experience.
Here are some specific ways that Sharon's character development could be affected by Keanu's death:
She could become more ruthless and self-serving.She could become more protective of Dennis and less trusting of others.She could become more cynical and lose her faith in people.She could become more compassionate and selfless.She could become more withdrawn and isolated.She could become more determined to live her life to the fullest.
It is impossible to say for sure how Sharon's character will be affected, but it is clear that Keanu's death will be a major turning point for her.

How do I counter the statement "whatever that requires other people's labour is not a basic human right"? | I'm assuming this is in response to healthcare. No one would be forced to labor for anyone for their healthcare. They are all willingly there being compensated for their labor. Is freedom a basic human right? Freedom isn't free, government workers and the military labor for your freedom. What about freedom of speech? Basic human right? Lawyers and politicians labor so you can have free speech. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Police, fire, EMS, military, politicians all labor for you to have those things. We live in a society and that requires that we all labor so that we can all enjoy our basic human rights.
"whatever requires other people's labour is not a basic human right"? By that metric in order to have any basic human rights we would have to live solitary lives without the thought of others working with us to acheive common goals.

How do I make a final year project? | Explaining my experience.
I had to start my project idea research at the end of my 3rd year i.e., 6th semester.
Hardest part is selecting a domain of your interest and finding a existing issue and developing an alternative solution to the problem. Else find something that will change the way the world thinks ,an example is Mark zuckerberg and his final year project Facebook. It changed the way online advertisement.
Similarly I had to finalize the idea with my reporting guide. I had to face many problems and confusion . I felt it would have being easier when a mentor is there who can guide you through the whole project ideation and evaluation.
Then requirements for the projects. Then technical and practical difficulties in making the project model. Finding the loop holes in your practical model is a bigger challenge. Running through multiple test and feedback were important.
I completed my project based on IOT . It was hard journey without seeking help from my project guide. However I found something on internet [LINKED_TEXT: Projects Help] [URL: https://getengineerhelp.wordpress.com/projects-help/]. Where you can get to know the Dos and Don’ts for your final year project.

How was Anakin able to convert to the dark side so easily? | Build up…
Being born into slavery marked him. Reason he doesn’t like sand? It’s because Tatooine is where he and his mother were slaves, not because it simply gets everywhere.
Losing Qui-gon is something he’s thought about a lot. The one who brought him out of slavery, fought for him to be a Jedi, and was quite frankly more capable of handling Anakin than Obi-wan was gone.
After being a Jedi Padawan for awhile he had a vision of his mother in trouble, so he went to Tatooine to save her, and his mother died in his arms.
Then he got revenge and murdered every single tuskan in that village.
He felt like an outsider, judged for being himself as a youngling who came in at a late age. Mace Windu minded him with suspicion, and never truly agreed with the decision to train Anakin.
He always was much more human than other Jedi. Since he came to the game late, he never really forced down his passions, his love for people, his genuine caring and ability to make deep emotional connections. He constantly needed to pretend to be something he wasn’t around Jedi to seem like he fit in like the rest.Obi-wan and Anakin had a rocky relationship. They genuinely loved each other, but raising Anakin as a Padawan was difficult for Obi-wan. Obi-wan was too harsh, and Anakin rebelled too much. Their relationship didn’t truly blossom until Anakin was faced with the responsibility of a Jedi Knight, and when they were equals, they really fit together very well.
Palpatine kept an open door policy for Anakin, making time in his own schedule for whenever Anakin needed him. Their relationship was like a father and son, on top of being good friend, and Palpatine allowed a safe environment where Anakin could speak about what was bothering him without judgement, unlike the Jedi. Palpatine used these conversations to weaponize Anakin’s thoughts over many many years, and undermine and demonize the Jedi in subtle ways.
Fear of losing Padme was the final straw. Padme was Anakin’s anchor. They would talk to each other via holocomm whenever they had the chance, go on secret dates, talk about the war. Padme became an important part of Anakin’s mental health, and the thought of losing her was unbearable. So when Palpatine finally revealed himself, saying he could save Padme, there was a true conflict. Do I choose the Jedi, or Padme? In the end it was desperation that drove Anakin to the Darkside.
It wasn’t an easy transition to the Darkside, it was a move of desperation. As he said, “I can’t live without her.” Palpatine held Anakin in the palms of his hands, and Anakin would dance to any tune Palpatine told him to because Anakin was afraid, and he was desperate.

What is a proxy, and how can I use one? | An proxy is an intermediate server between two devices on a network. There are dozens of Proxy types on the Internet: some change your IP address and protect your identity, while others authenticate users on Wi Fi networks.
The following explains how to use a proxy server:
1. Direct use. Open the Internet option, check the proxy server "use LAN proxy server" in LAN settings, fill in the IP address and corresponding port number, and refresh the browser IP after saving. This kind of service suitable for effect supplement can be used to break through the restriction of website IP address.
2. Web data collection. If web crawlers want to collect a large amount of data information in a short time, they need to use HTTP proxy IP to avoid the interception and blocking of website anti crawling technology. Web crawlers usually access programs and use APIs to connect directly.

What is the difference between Tesla's autopilot system and Google's driver-less car? How on earth did Tesla manage to pull this off, while other companies - including Google - have been trying to do it for years? | It’s not actually “Google” anymore - it’s “Waymo”. The parent company “Alphabet” split the self-driving car stuff from the Internet business - and the self-driving car group are called “Waymo”.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TESLA & WAYMO?
Waymo have converted existing cars to “self drive” as urban taxi cabs. They rely heavily on three things:
Having a VERY high resolution map of the entire driving area, frequently updated to account for things like roadworks, potholes, changes in signage, etc, etc.Limiting the cars to only drive in a very small area (a few square miles) that can be adequately mapped.Not driving over about 45mph.
The cars rely on “LIDAR” to understand the world around them - which makes it difficult to see things like roadsigns and road markings - which is why it needs such accurate maps.
Tesla build their own cars - they (ironically) use very low resolution Google maps for turn-by-turn instructions - but use eight color/low-light-level cameras to get a 360 degree view of the street.
This enables them to drive anywhere - even where there is no map.
HOW DID TESLA PULL IT OFF?
Waymo is an AI company with interests in cars. So they purchased a few hundred cars and (at some cost) converted them to add powerful AI computers and sensor systems. Then they recruited a bunch of human drivers to drive them around to collect the all-important “driving data” needed to train their AI software.Tesla is a car company with interests in AI. So they built their own cars, with AI computers and sensors built in during production - then they sold the cars for a profit and the people who bought them collected training data for free!
As a result:
Waymo’s collected driving data is limited to maybe 100 million miles of driving data - mostly restricted to a handful of downtown areas where they operate their taxi services…and collected from a small pool of human drivers over maybe a decade. Doing this is extremely costly.Tesla’s collected driving data comes from about 2 million cars that they have on the roads of the entire world - being driven by ordinary people doing their ordinary driving. With an average driver covering 1.200 miles per month - Tesla are able to collect 2.4 BILLION miles of driving data every month. Not only is this NOT costly - it’s actually profit-making.
It’s actually even worse than that - a Waymo car has huge and horrible modifications - so it looks like this:
And nobody is going to want to buy a car like that - so their training data isn’t representative of what would ACTUALLY be available to a practical self-driving car.
But Tesla’s AI is learning to drive cars that aren’t just similar to the ones that will be practical self-driving cars - it’s learning on the EXACT cars it’ll be drivingL
Do you see that tiny black triangle just above and behind the front wheel? That’s a Tesla camera. If you look carefully, you can see a small circle on the top of the “B-pillar” behind the side windows? that’s another camera. There are more looking out through the top of the windshield and a couple more innocuous ones around the back of the car. There are eight of them in all.
The ultrasound sensors on the bottom edge of the bodywork are too small to see in this photo. They are small circular features - identical to the ‘backup sensors’ that most modern cars have on the back bumper.
THE IMPORTANCE OF REAL WORLD DATA:
Suppose you consider driving on a country road in a part of the world where there are wild deer…a large percentage of the USA is like that.
How can you train a car to handle a deer “encounter”.
Well, if you’re Waymo - you can’t because there aren’t any deer in any of the downtown areas where their cars operate…but suppose they did send out a few hundred drivers to drive country roads for 40 hours a week? At 60 mph - they’d get maybe 100,000 miles per week. Within a year - they’d have a about two lifetimes of practical human driving. Now - how many deer encounters does that represent?
I don’t know about you - but I’ve had only a couple of serious deer encounters in my 50 years of driving - so for all of that expense, so even if they concentrated all of their efforts on driving in deer-laden countryside - I doubt Waymo would collect more than a few dozen encounters.
But Tesla get about 2.4 billion miles of driving per month - 25 billion miles per year. That’s about 50,000 human lifespans of driving per year…and tens of thousands of deer encounters.
Why do you need so many video’s of deer running across the road?
Well, you need it happening at high speeds and low speeds, daytime, dawn, dusk and night. Deer probably behave differently in the rutting season or when the momma deer are protecting their foals - then weather probably matters - maybe deer cross more in snow than in rain? Does it matter whether you are the only car on the road or the traffic is denser? Does a lone deer behave differently from an entire herd? Do males and females behave differently? Young and old deer? Who knows?
So 2 speeds x 4 times of day x 4 seasons x 5 different weather types x 5 different traffic densities x 3 different group sizes x 2 genders x 3 age ranges… that’s 14,400 different possible things that could affect how a deer crosses the road (or not).
So if you AI sees a deer - how does it learn how the animal will behave?
It has to learn by seeing many, MANY deer encounters.
Tesla can collect 14,000 deer encounters in a matter of months. Waymo could keep trying for 100 years and still not have enough data.
Waymo claim that they make up this difference using simulation data. So they pay a bunch of guys like me (I work in simulation) to make computer graphics of all sorts of realistic deer models doing various things. But the trouble is - simulation engineers have no clue what’s going on in the brains of deer…so we correctly simulate the characteristic ear twitch (or whatever it is) that predicts a deer is going to run out in front of you? No! We do not.
So simulation data isn’t going to work.
But hundreds of thousands of deer encounter videos should be enough to allow the AI to learn what factors make it safe to drive past a deer - and what requires hard braking or lane changing or whatever.
Hence, Tesla can train their cars to handle deer better than any human driver - to become a deer behavior specialist of world calibre.
DO THEY ACTUALLY DO THIS?
It seems so - in one interview I watched, one of their AI guys said that their cars have been learning to recognize dogs (and they do - you can see a cute doggy graphic pop up on the display when you drive past one). Their AI has learned to recognize dogs that are on a leash, under control of a human from stray dogs that are just wandering around. It knows to take more care around an uncontrolled dog than is necessary if it’s on a leash.
This is just like the deer problem. The AI has to become fairly good at predicting what crazy thing some dumb old dog will do…and it has.
CONCLUSION:
Many people claim that Tesla are 10 years ahead of the competition…and that, in my opinion, is a vast under-estimate.
Since no other company has even STARTED to collect driving data from every single car they sell - they cannot possibly have enough driving data to compete in the AI realm.
Since Tesla have been doing this for 10 years now - they must, therefore, be 10 years ahead.
