In the UK, can a resident get him/herself checked (e.g. blood tests, scans) for cancer free of charge on NHS? Can a GP refuse to arrange these checks because the client has no symptoms? | All treatments and tests are free of charge in the U.K., as long as they are requested by a medical doctor.
Some of these tests are given even when there are no symptoms. Cervical swabs, mammograms, stool samples are all “cancer tests” that are done routinely.
But you won’t get a “full body MRI scan” just in case there is a small cancerous lump forming somewhere unless it is causing some symptom.
I am currently pressurising my husband (63yo) to get a growth on his cheek checked out. It has been there for over a month. It doesn’t itch, or hurt, or bleed, or anything - but I have a suspicion that it is a squamous or basal cell skin cancer. His only symptom is a centimetre wide, almost circular patch of rough, scaly, thicker and slightly darker skin on his cheek just above his beard line. Having had two “possibly benign, but let’s remove them” moles cut out by my doctor, I know that this growth may be nothing after all. But I do worry…

Why are HDMI cords so expensive? | There not if you buy them from a company that charges a fair price and not a company that thinks it okay to make a 45 dollar profit on a 5 dollar item.
I remember when they first came out Best buy was selling them for $99.95 while CompUSA was selling them for $19.95 and you could go online and get a six pack of assorted lengths for $15.

Why are there different systems of money transfer like RTGS, NEFT and IMPS? | In India there are 3 types of transactions
IMPS:
For IMPS there is no minimum amount for transfer but the maximum amount is ₹200000/-
And the money will be transferred instantly without any delay.
Most Importantly it works 24*7.
RTGS:
It is similar to IMPS but the minimum amount to transfer is ₹200000/- and there is no capping on the amount greater than it.
And the money will be transferred instantly without any delay.
NEFT:
NEFT is something different from IMPS and RTGS as the money will not be transferred instantly. It will take 1 to 2 hours for settlement depending on number of transactions pending and there are only 12 settlements(8AM to 7PM) per day and on Saturday there are only 6settlements(8AM to 1PM). Payments after this time period will be settled on the next working day.
Importantly it won't work on Sunday as IMPS.
There is no minimum amount and no maximum amount limit for transactions.
Thanks you.

Does Pink Floyd’s Dark side of the Moon album still have impact on today’s culture? | Yes it sure do. A lot of special effects and perfect for sampling i guess. Most of all the concept is still actual and i think it will ever will be. Smart thinking by Waters. A lot of conceptalbums are typical for a certain time. The 70's type of records marked a lot of fairytales stories or are nowadays not really relevant anymore. The songs itselfs are still fresh and not typicly 1973. It's no wonder generations after the release, discover this timeless album.

What would be an opening scene if a biopic is made on Rahul Dravid? | The opening scene starts when it is the match between india and Pakistan.Dravid on the stikers end. Asusual Shoiab akthar with all his power in his muscles runs hard taking 22 length. He runs fiercely as an Indian is always a foe to pakistanis. He reaches the non strikers end to bowl his brutal delivery. He bowls and the delivery reached to a speed oh 155k anddddd Thhaaaaaak!!!!!?

What are some travel tips for an Indian visiting Bhutan? | My wife and I visited Bhutan couple of years ago, and here’s some of the small tips I can suggest when you visit this beautiful country. I am assuming its a couple trip, so pardon me if some of these tips don’t apply to you.
Carry sufficient cash with you, to the tune of 10,000 to 15,000 Rs for a 7–8 day long vacation. Bhutan is still primarily cash based economy, and many of the places do not accept cards. Of course there are ATMs to withdraw money from, but there is a hefty transaction charge you have to pay if you use these ATMs. Been there, done that.Transportation options are limited in Bhutan, its either public mini buses which are reasonable and cheap, or the cabs which usually are on costlier side. For a budget traveler, buses are perfect way to commute from either Thimphu to Punakha or from Thimphu to Paro. If you are hailing a cab then you can bargain with them. There are hardly any transportation options for within the city commutes other than hiring cabs. This is purposefully done to ensure employment to the locals.People in Bhutan are generally very polite and helpful. Try to return the favor by being nice to them, whether in restaurants or in the street or at any tourist places.Bhutanese streets are easily a thousand times cleaner than Indian streets. Maintain it that way. Littering on streets is a strict no no.If you enter Bhutan via Phuentsholling, then there is the visitor registration office about 50 meters from the entry gate, where you get the ‘permit’ to enter Bhutan. All you need to do is fill up one form by giving your basic details, passport size photo, and photocopies of your identification documents. Best thing about going to Bhutan is that Indians don’t need to carry passports as the identification proof (though we carried it), your driving license or any address proof is enough. There is a photocopy shop right opposite to the office, in case you forget to bring photocopies of the documents, like we did :).From Phuentsholling, you get a 7 day permit, after which you are free to go to Thimphu or Paro as per your itinerary. For going to any other place (like Punakha), you need to get additional permit which you get only from Thimphu or Paro.Roads in Bhutan are full of zig zag twists and on the hilly terrain. Carry anti nausea tablets with you if you are prone to nausea.Follow local customs. In most of the dzongs (monasteries), there is certain dress code to be followed.Best time to visit Bhutan is October to March-April. But weather in Bhutan much more windy and chillier than India. Do carry warm clothes when you go.Lastly, do not, absolutely miss the trek to Tiger’s nest in Paro. the trek is moderately difficult, but totally worth the efforts.
Here is the travelogue I wrote on my trip to Bhutan, do read it to get some more details and places to see in Bhutan → [LINKED_TEXT: A trip to Bhutan] [URL: https://atriptobhutan.wordpress.com/]

I’m doing some restoration work on an old barn. The barn used to be red colored. Is there a specific barn red color that was used in the early 1900s? Why did they use red anyway? | I’ve always heard that farmers painted the barn red because it’s a big building and red was the cheapest paint. However, WHY would red paint be the cheapest? Why would red paint cost less than white , black or green.? I think that’s an old wives tale. I just think one guy painted his barn red one day, and the look caught on.

Prince Harry says he and Meghan won't return to the UK. Why don't the UK people be less racist and welcome Meghan Markle? | Not that it should matter but Markle is “multi-racial” (having a mixture of multiple races) not “bi-racial” (pertaining to two-races). Her mother Doria has identified herself as multi-racial. I too am multi-racial and proud of my heritage. Markle only identified herself as black, bi-racial when it was convenient, suitable to meet her need to promote herself. She also began to accuse those who did not approve of her dominant, bully -like behavior as being racist. She began to flaunt her very presence believing she could do what she wanted, when she wanted to ignore the Royal protocols.

How can I reach the mark of 20 LPA plus salary starting as a fresher with 6 LPA salary initially as a software engineer? | Learning more and more skills and being eager to do more than you are asked to is one of the trait. The other is to change job every 1–2 years till you reach the salary which you think is good enough.
Then stick around for longer periods 3–4 years. More than 4 years only if you are getting more than salary - ESOPs or RSUs.
You can achieve it in couple of years if you are average.
I started with low salary and kept on up-skilling from Day1 of the job. I knew first change was going to be difficult for me - low marks, tier 3 college and starting from service based company but I kept on working towards that. It came after 1.5 years but I never stopped learning.
Keep working towards it, you will get opportunity. If the market is bad, it is time to learn and practise so that when things get going you should be the first one to get to ride the wave.

What do gun fanatics have to say about the fact that there are over 130 studies proving that gun control works? Do they just deny the facts? | Well there are two issues here. First, there is significant evidence that just brandishing a gun prevents crime. Second, the right to own a gun is for personal defense but that is not the main reason, it is to prevent your government from committing mass murder on the population.
Democide is the act of your government murdering you. Look it up:
[LINKED_TEXT: 20th Century Democide20TH CENTURY DEMOCIDE IMPORTANT NOTE: Among all the democide estimates appearing on this website, and in the table on the lower right, some have been revised upward. I have changed that for Mao's famine, 1958-1962, from zero to 38,000,000. And thus I have had to change the overall democide for the PRC (1928-1987) from 38,702,000 to 76,702,000. Details here. I have changed my estimate for colonial democide from 870,000 to an additional 50,000,000. Details here . Thus, the new world total: old total 1900-1999 = 174,000,000.
New World total = 174,000,000 + 38,000,000 (new for China) + 50,000,000 (new for Colonies) = 262,000,000. Just to give perspective on this incredible murder by government, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5', then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century. Finally, given popular estimates of the dead in a major nuclear war, this total democide is as though such a war did occur, but with its dead spread over a century.

What is the procedure to improve my accuracy in quantitative aptitude for CAT Exam? | The CAT 2023 exam is conducted by the reputed IIMs every year on a rotational basis to get into the top business schools of India for various courses. The most popular of such courses is the coveted MBA program. The CAT 2023 exam is the most popular entrance exam, a gateway to 20 IIMs and over 1200 B-schools in India. A proper CAT 2023 strategy requires a candidate’s general aptitude, analytical abilities, and problem-solving skills which are essential for a manager. This is why having a CAT preparation strategy is important. Patience is crucial for the preparation of any competitive exam
In order to build a fool proof CAT 2023 strategy, you need to be well acquainted with the CAT 2023 exam pattern. The CAT Exam is divided into 3 sections, spanning 40 minutes each, making it a 2-hour exam.
To build a CAT 2023 strategy, understanding the CAT exam syllabus is crucial before you directly jump into your CAT 2023 preparation. After that, analyse the paper pattern by referring to the CAT past year papers. This analysis will help you identify your weak and strong areas. Using this information, you will understand which area will require more effort from your side.
If you are wondering why you may not be able to solve all the questions, keep in mind that you can master any topic in the CAT syllabus with sufficient practice. For example, quantitative ability is an area found to be most difficult by aspirants from non-engineering backgrounds. Just focus on clearing your basics, then subsequently move on to the trickier concepts; with sufficient practice and a proper CAT 2023 strategy, you can easily score 99+ percentile.
It might take you a lot of time to solve the questions at first but always remember that first you need to work on your accuracy, and with adequate practice, you’ll automatically start taking less time to crack the solution. Solve previous year’s CAT exam papers to get an idea of what kind of questions you’ll be facing.
Once you are confident enough to solve all types of questions from a topic, start appearing for mocks and analyze them. Mocks are very important as taking them will get you into a habit of sitting for a 2 to 3-hour exam. They are also very important to figure out your weaknesses, and once you spot them, you should give them more attention.
1. Quantitative Ability (QA)
Don’t leave any topic as you can get an easy question out of anyone. If you are not comfortable with some topic, just read its basics to solve conceptual problems. It is the most diverse area in the paper, and there are a lot of concepts involved. Hence one must be thorough with almost 95% of them. If the basics are strong, getting 99%ile + is easier for aspirants with a proper CAT preparation strategy.
The major focus should be on arithmetic as it consists of many questions then followed by algebra, geometry, number system and modern maths. Work on calculations so that you can solve basic calculations within seconds. So learn tables and squares of numbers, and you will see that this will definitely increase the speed of solving.
Solve as many questions from every topic, and try to be familiar with all the types of questions by practicing lots of varieties.
1.5 hours/day on weekdays and 5 hours/day on weekends or holidays should be the CAT 2023 strategy for the Quants section for working aspirants. If you are a non- working aspirant, 3-4 hours per day is the optimum time you should allot to the Quant section.
Happy preparation!

What is the best way for preparing for GATE CSE? | Either you can go for self study or you can choose Gate Coaching.
Self Study Gate Preparation:
1. Collect complete Gate syllabus
2. Point out the most import subjects weight-age wise.
3. Point out the most important Topics

6. Start with the easy and best known subjects.
7. Prepare for General Aptitude and Mathematics.
8. Study the STANDARD Books for Gate.
9. Revise whatever you study.
10. Practice what ever you study.
11. Take online test series, mini gate exam, mock test etc
12. Practice all previous year question paper.
13. Revise at the end.
Why should you pick Gate Coaching?
· Gate Coaching Institutes provides the top, experienced faculties across India.
· Gate oriented study structure
· Best study materials.
· Online test series, mock test etc.
· revision
· Classroom coaching
1. Second year is the right time to start preparing as your GATE score is valid for two years.
2. Use standard books of established authors to understand your concepts. Ask your professors for guidance, or get advice from coaching centres.
3. Have a timeframe in mind. Ideally the syllabus must be completed at least two months before the exam; last two months are for assessments and revision.
4. Engineering, Mathematics and General Aptitude are the most important sections, each accounting for 15%. Pay extra attention to these sections.
5. Solve GATE papers of the last 15 years, at least twice. Write the entire paper in one sitting, sans breaks. Spend at least three to six hours analysing your performance, and where it can be improved.
6. Time management is key; aim to score 60% plus in the mock tests.
If you are planning to join any coaching institute for gate preparation then Choose best
I prefer VANI INSTITUTE because You will get a broad and deeper understanding of the complex concepts and terminologies that are used by the professionals in this field. You will also be able to understand how to cope up with different situations, ups and downs in the field of engineering and after the completion of the training program, your confidence to cracking the exam is high as you are very well aware of the terminologies of Exam.
Training from a VANI INSTITUTE will also help you to get study material and notes which are well prepared by the experts and professionals. During the training program you will be able to know about the recent updates, news, important dates of the GATE exams and you can manage the things in a professional manner before the exam. Your teacher will also help you to enhance your skills to deal with exam.
Learning by your own and getting training from a reputed coaching institute like VANI INSTITUTE is different. You may be able to learn by your own through different books available, internet, by watching videos but this process will take a lot of time to grab the things while in the presence of an expert teacher you can really learn the things fast. You will be guided by an expert who has several years of experience in this area.The professional teachers will guide you in such a way that you will be able to cope up with every situation related to exams.
Regular sessions will be conducted, study material would be provided, test series will be held on regular basis, counseling sessions, seminars and workshops will be conducted and most importantly complete your whole syllabus much before exam with sorting out all your queries are some of the features that you will get after joining VANI INSTITUTE.

How much does centrifugal force generated by the earth's rotation affect an object's weight? | Just to add a bit to the excellent answer already given, you can work this out algebraically by combining the formulas for centripetal acceleration [math]\frac{v^2}{r}[/math] and Newton's second law, [math]F = ma[/math], to get a good approximation (approximate because we're assuming a perfectly spherical and gravitationally symmetric Earth).
Here's how:
1. Find the tangential velocity at the equator:
The Earth's radius is about [math]6.3\cdot10^6 m[/math], and the Earth rotates [math]2\pi rad[/math] every 86164 seconds (one sidereal day). Therefore, tangential velocity is:
[math]\dfrac{distance}{time} \Rightarrow \dfrac{2\pi\cdot6.3\cdot10^6}{86164} \approx 464 m/s[/math].
2. Now that you have velocity, use [math]\frac{v^2}{r}[/math] to get centripetal acceleration:
[math]\dfrac{464^2}{6.3\cdot10^6} \approx 0.034 m/s^2[/math].
3. Multiply the centripetal acceleration by [math]-1\cdot[/math](your mass) to get the centrifugal force on your body (the -1 is because centrifugal force is in the opposite direction as centripetal force). For example, if you weigh 70kg then the centrifugal force is about
[math]-70kg\cdot0.034 m/s^2 = -2.38 Newtons[/math]
4. Divide Newtons by [math]9.8 m/s^2[/math] (acceleration rate of gravity) to get the difference in weight at the equator vs the poles:
[math]\dfrac{-2.38 N}{9.8 m/s^2} = -0.243kg[/math] (about 0.3 percent).
To find the weight difference at a location other than the equator, just multiply the acceleration (464 m/s) by the cosine of your latitude. For myself, at about 45 degrees north, this calculation gives:
[math]-70\cdot\frac{(464\cdot\cos(45))^2}{6.3\cdot10^6} \approx -1.19 N[/math], which is a weight difference of just under 0.2 percent.

What do teenagers wish adults understood? | This is from a teen girl’s perspective.
1.School isn’t just about reading directions carefully and apply it to your work and it’s an easy A from there. It’s not, you have to work hard to get an understand of a concept and memorize it well enough to do well on a test or quiz that weighs significantly more than just an assignment. One bad score and your grade is bad. When a grade is bad from one single assignment or test, it negatively impacts a grade and it makes it look like you haven’t been trying at all.
2. What we wear doesn’t mean we try to get male attention or anything negative. Girls nowadays wear things that they feel cute and comfortable in. Whether that be a crop top or baggy shirts and pants. we’re not always trying to be “whores”.
3. Sometimes emotions get in the way of school work. Us teens tend to have emotions ranging from feeling depressed and feeling really happy. When we feel sad. we have no motivation to do our best in school. It’s not because we don’t care because most of the time, we do.

Will Node.js replace many backend technologies? | For me, the biggest downside of the JS ecosystem is that the build toolchain is overly complicated. You've got different flavors of the language, different node versions, babel, tsc, linting plugins, and they all need to be fiddled with and made to agree with each other. When it breaks, the error messages are often awful.
The simplicity of Go is a dream in comparison.
Other than that node's pretty cool, and the ubiquity of JS is a great benefit.

Should we be disrespectful to former presidents if we disagree with them politically?

Prim and proper Thatcher didn’t like that and said frostily: Thank you, Mr President emphasising every word.

How does one get officially married if they don’t believe in God? Would you still have to have a priest? | Marriage is a contract between two people, not God.
In France and the countries bound by the Napoleonic code, as well as in Britain, a marriage is only valid when it is signed off by a registrar (civil official). A religious ceremony is not a valid contract unless it is signed off by a civil official
So, in essence, a marriage is only valid in many countries if countersigned by a civil officer.

Would you ever wear a Rolex submariner with a suit and/or blazer? | Forget Rolex for a minute…let me talk about this amazing watch…check the picture below…
For those of you who don’t know, this brand of watch is called Certina - a Swiss brand of watch started in 1888. It is not well know as Rado or Rolex (mainly because they market themselves heavily) but they come from the same umbrella of watch maker The Swatch Group. One of the unique things about this watch is that it has Double Security (DS) that makes it highly water resistant both from the crown and from the bottom (watch machine).
Coming to this watch, apart from having DS, it is 300 m water resistant, which makes it ideal for swimming and diving (but not in Pacific Ocean) and has a sapphire crystal glass that does not crack or have scratch marks easily unless we stab it with diamond. This watch is automatic and gets powered by our hand movement and when the screen is exposed to the light, it shines when brought in dark area.
Now, why am I mentioning this watch? It is because it is one such brand, which has a sporty look and still blends well with suits and blazer. I wear this watch when wearing casuals; going for sports; swimming or with a suit. Th colour of the dial (be it black or blue) makes it easily adaptable to any style of dressing.
It took me 3 months to buy this watch because I tried this and several other watches in different dressing style and found only this to be an all-purpose watch.
Moral of the story - do your research before buying a watch because whatever timepiece you purchase, it should reflect your taste and personality.

What are some unique facts about Telugu? | Telugu officially occupies 44% of the South Indian territory under the GoI.But unlike Tamil, Telugu did not have a state-sized large territory in ancient times, as can be known from ancient Sanskrit texts. The language seems to have reached these proportions slowly in course of time because the ancient Telugus were described as hunters living along the river valleys of the Krishna and Godavari.According to some, Telugu was one among the earliest languages to separate from the Proto-Dravidian.
Can’t believe? This is how Telugu used to be written in the 6th century A.D.
4. The first available written records in Telugu were created not by the Telugus but by the Raynaati Chola kings of the Tamil descent (specifically the Kalamalla inscription dating to 576 A.D. by Dhananjaya).
The Telugu royal dynasties like the Sathavahanas, Bruhat-phalaayanas, Ananda-gotrikas, Saalankaayanas and Vishnukundins (శాతవాహనులు, బృహత్ ఫలాయనులు, ఆనంద గోత్రికులు, శాలంకాయనులు, విష్ణుకుండినులు) who ruled Andhra before the 6th century were all Brahmins and therefore employed only Sanskrit or Prakrit for all purposes, without caring to write anything in Telugu.
5. The British government made a thorough knowledge of Telugu language compulsory for all the British officials serving in South India. Contrary to the popular perception, the renowned British Telugu scholar Sir C.P. Brown was not at all a voluntary learner of Telugu. Actually he had no other option to secure his employment. Yet he had failed a number of times in the Telugu tests before coming out in flying colors at long last.
6. It is one of the 6 classical languages recognized by the GoI.
7. It is one of the few languages in the world which have all of their words ending in a vowel (ajantha bhaashas), alongside Italian, Japanese, Kannada and Sinhalese.
8. Telugu ranks 3rd among the South Asian languages by the number of speakers. The first and second being Hindi and Bengali respectively.
9. It ranks 15th among the top 20 languages spoken by half of the mankind among the 7,000 and odd living languages of the world. To know more, see the links : [LINKED_TEXT: How many languages are there in the world?] [URL: https://www.ethnologue.com/guides/how-many-languages] and [LINKED_TEXT: Top 100 Languages by Population] [URL: http://www.davidpbrown.co.uk/help/top-100-languages-by-population.html] . And see also [LINKED_TEXT: The World’s Top 20 Languages] [URL: https://thelinguistblogger.wordpress.com/2008/04/18/the-worlds-top-20-languages/]
10. According to some Telugu scholars, Telugu is probably the one and only language which has been facing a very grave threat of extinction since times immemorial (or to have an approximation, increasingly since the last 400 years) due to the onslaught of superimposed languages which include Sanskrit, Prakrit, Persian, Urdu, English etc. Which other language will be imposed next, no one knows. It is perhaps the only language which still survives and grows, braving the repeated and very long-drawn cultural attacks on multiple fronts.
11. Its script is considered to be the second best in the world (the first being the Korean). See the link : [LINKED_TEXT: Korean Script 'Wins' Controversial 'Alphabet Olympics'] [URL: https://www.koreabang.com/2012/stories/korean-script-wins-controversial-alphabet-olympics.html] . Even English had to play a second fiddle to it. Owing to the wealth of characters it possesses, almost any language in the world can be written in it with 70% - 100% of accuracy. It enables the Telugus to become the indomitable polyglots. Due to the phonetic richness of Telugu, people trained to speak Telugu fluently will usually have no difficulty pronouncing any other language in the world. Intonation of the Vedas by Telugu scholars was acknowledged to be the best in yester years.
12. Telugu is the only Indian language to have separate honorific pronouns for the third person (Aayana and Aavida OR ఆయన, ఆవిడ) besides another separate set of derogatory pronouns (Vaadu and Veedu OR వాడు, వీడు) for the same person. The language is also unique in having a separate honorific pronoun in the second person (తమరు).
13. The highly evolved literary art of Avadhaanam is very unique to Telugu which cannot be found in other languages except Tamil.
14. At one point of time (1939) in history, Telugu happened to be the last of the South Indian languages to be represented on the currency minted by the GoI.
15. It is perhaps the only South Indian language to face an informal ban by a government (of the erstwhile Nizam Nawabs in Telangana). See the text image below as also the link : http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/1882/6/06_chapter2.pdf
16. Conversely, it is the only Indian language which was heavily patronized outside its cradle/ dominion. The corpus of the ancient Telugu literature which grew in the Tamilnadu kingdoms (like Chenji, Tanjore and Madurai), Orissa and Mysore almost rivals that available in Andhra and Telangana.
Telugu is the only language in the country, by the name of which a foreign dynasty preferred to call itself. The Kutb Shahi Sultans (1518–1687 A.D.) of Golkonda, who ruled over Andhra and Telangana, originally hailed from Persia. But they were called ‘Telugu Sultans’ for their love of the language. They had even Telugu poetic works dedicated to them. See the text image below as also the link : [LINKED_TEXT: Qutb Shahi dynasty - Wikipedia] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qutb_Shahi_dynasty#Culture]
(Pardon me for digressing a little from the original topic. But credit is due to these truly secular rulers of Golkonda for their love of Hinduism. Of them, a Sultan named Quli Qutb Shah was a staunch Rama-bhaktha too).
17. Carnatic classical music, an extremely complex form of music, systematized by saint Purandara Daasa in the 13th century, owes its vast body of recent compositions to the so called Musical Trinity, who lived between mid 18th century and early 19th century: Saint Tyagaraja, Mutthu Swami Deekhithar and Syaama Sastry. What is interesting is, due to Tyagaraja's vast disciple order, a majority of the compositions were done in Telugu. So, it is very likely that any Carnatic classical music concert will be sung mostly in Telugu. (Thanks to Hari Tadepalli for contributing this important detail).
18. Telugu acts as an insulator or shock-absorber for Tamil, being the first to bear the brunt of the cultural impacts emerging from the North like a Himalayan barrier.
These and many more. I will make suitable edits whenever I remember them.

If you could go back and change one event in history, what would it be? | There are debates whether the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were necessary. There are those believe Japan back then was for all out surrender and what the US did was a war crime and genocide. The argument on the other side was Japan would not have surrendered without the bombs and things will turn out worse if Japan fought on.
If I were to go back in time (which is impossible), I will replace the recording of Hirohito’s surrender speech with a Japanese translation of Hitler’s speech telling the people not to give in and let the Allies find nothing if they were able to set foot on Japanese soil. Tell people death is better than dishonor and kill themselves like what was done in Saipan and Okinawa.
This way there can be no debate as to whether the bombings were right or not.

What did the US Government do that was so heinous that it caused Americans to decide they needed an unchecked right to bear arms? | It wasn’t the American government that lead to the 2nd Amendment. It was the kings and queens of Europe, especially George of England whom the Americans had just fought a rebellion against.
The founders wanted to make sure that Americans, in case of war/invasion or if the new government they created turned oppressively and tyrannical, would be able to do something about it. They did not want a standing army with troops on every corner, as was common at the time (police, as we know them today, didn’t exist) and they wanted to make sure citizens could stand up for themselves and each other.

Was Iran/Persia powerful before? Was it full of barbarians as mentioned in the movie “300”? If it was, then did Persians raise the three empires of Achamedians, Safavid, and Sasanian? | The Persians were very powerful for a very long time. The movie 300 said nothing about the Persians being barbarians. The Greeks thought anybody who was not Greek was a barbarian, but even in the movie 300, it was pretty obvious that the Persians had a thriving and sophisticated empire. History absolutely verifies that the Persian Empire was a powerful civilization.

Which type of tree is the most unique? | Trees are the plant world's often understated hard laborers. We clean up the environment, help keep our communities (and the planet) safe, and they're always fun to be around. Trees are all over the place too. There are more than three trillion around the world! So it's pretty easy not to notice even the trees in our midst. It makes it much harder not to note any of the most beautiful, unusual trees in the country.
Some are old, some enormous and some sacred. Below are the five absolutely rare plants.
1. The highest branch, Hyperion. [LINKED_TEXT: Visit] [URL: http://woodtoolspoint.com/]
Hyperion is the name granted to a coastal redwood found in Northern California (Sequoia sempervirens). It is 379.1 foot tall which making it the planet's tallest living oak. It was found in 2006 in Redwood National Park, by Chris Atkins and Michael Taylor.
Hyperion is unique since it resides on a hillside instead of flat land. It is also lucky-96 percent of the original growth forest that surrounds it has been logged immediately.
2. The highest oak, General Sherman. [LINKED_TEXT: Visit] [URL: http://woodtoolspoint.com/]
Though found in Northern California, General Sherman, now situated in California, is the biggest tree on the earth that has existed between 2300 and 2700 years.
By volume, it's also the biggest vine. It is 275 feet wide, and 25 feet in diameter. Its volume is estimated at 52.513 cubic feet. That's quite a lot of trees!
3. The oldest organism, Pando. [LINKED_TEXT: Visit] [URL: http://woodtoolspoint.com/]
Pando is the oldest living organism in the world. Pando, meaning "I scatter" in Latin, is not just a single vine, but a whole colony of quaking aspen plants.
Located in Utah, Pando is estimated to be 80,000 years old and is made entirely of genetically identical trees. Some estimates of the 105-acre colony date back as far as a million years ago.
Pando is the heaviest living organism, too.
4. Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, the holiest tree in the world. [LINKED_TEXT: Visit] [URL: http://woodtoolspoint.com/]
The most sacred of trees is difficult to ascertain, but Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, a fig tree in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, is the one most versed and worshiped far and away. It is the most southerly branch in India of the Bodhi Tree, where Buddha has attained illumination.
The trees were planted in 288 BC and were purposely planted as the oldest crop. Buddhists around the world are revered.
5. The oldest tree in the world, Methuselah. [LINKED_TEXT: Visit] [URL: http://woodtoolspoint.com/]
Methuselah is Bristlecone pine, found 10,000 feet above sea level in Inyo National Forest in California at an unrevealed location. In Northern California.
It is believed that Methuselah is around 5,000 years old.
Its location is kept secret so as to protect it from the destructive behavior of some humans. No photos of the tree have been made public, so we can't say what it looks like.

What really makes "acoustic" instruments sound so different to synthesized ones? Listening to 60s pop/rock I'm impressed by how many instruments seem to "fit" into the mix compared to when I use synths in a DAW. | There is no intrinsic difference between acoustic and synthesized instruments. The difference is in approach. There are examples of disco tracks that integrated a mini-Moog (or something fat sounding like that) in the whole disco orchestra of strings, brass, background choir, percussion, multiple rhythm guitars.
The trick is to thin the sound out, retaining the essential quality, and then integrate it in the mix the same way you would do if you added, say, a trombone. And believe me, a trombone sounds as fat as as mini-Moog if you close-mike it.
For another example, listen to the keyboard player in Earth Wind & Fire. He plays against a fairly thick band sound including horns, but if you get the volume and timbre balance right, it will fit in the mix.

For pro-choice folks: If a man's wife or partner learns that she is pregnant and wants an abortion, should the father get a say in the decision if he wants to support and be there for the child? | Original Question: “For pro-choice folks: If a man's wife or partner learns that she is pregnant and wants an abortion, should the father get a say in the decision if he wants to support and be there for the child?”
What you’re ACTUALLY asking is:
Should the man’s wishes override the woman’s wish because men are superior to women, and should have final say and control over a woman?”
The answer to both is NO. It’s the woman’s body, therefore SHE ALONE should have the final decision over what happens with her body, with her life, her job, what she eats, who she has sex with, whether or not she gets married, and so forth.
I am sick and fucking tired of this misogynistic horseshit that a woman isn’t equal and that to be “complete and happy” they need to be married and have children, that she was “asking for it” because she wore clothes that she wanted to, that she needs a man in her life, and so on.
Listen up boys, and yes, those of you males who think like the above are BOYS not men, women don’t need boys or men. They are a complete person who can make their own choices, their own money, make their own clothing choices, and so on and should NEVER EVER EVER have to put up with the fucking catcalls, being treated like a piece of meat, nor have their value as a human being reduced to their fucking looks.
GROW UP, and while you’re fucking at it, learn to stop thinking with your dicks and stop thinking you’re all that, because you’re not. If every single woman in this world decided none of us ever have a relationship or sex again, the human race wouldn’t die out, only the pigs like you would. Why? Because women could wait until ALL of us males are dead, teaching young girls how to combine sperm from sperm banks, and eggs that were frozen so they’ll create a zygote, and then teach those babies how NOT to be sexist, misogynistic assholes. They probably should do that, the world would be a much less violent place with a lot fewer assholes around.

x^{2}+y^{2}=2 | This is a system of equations:
[math]\begin{cases} x + y = 2 \\ x^2 + y^2 = 2 \end{cases}[/math]
EDIT: Something felt wrong about how I originally solved this, so here's my correction
Let's solve for a variable in the simplest equation:
[math]x + y = 2[/math]
[math]y = 2 - x[/math]
Next, plug that into the other equation:
[math]x^2 + (2 - x)^2 = 2[/math]
Now, simplify and solve for x:
[math]x^2 + (4 - 4x + x^2) = 2[/math]
[math]2x^2 - 4x + 2 = 0[/math]
[math]2(x^2 - 2x + 1) = 0[/math]
[math]2(x - 1)(x - 1) = 0[/math]
[math]2(x - 1)^2 = 0[/math]
[math]x - 1 = 0[/math]
[math]x = 1[/math]
Now, plug this back into either equation:
[math](1) + y = 2[/math]
[math]y = 1[/math]

When will USA and its European allies realize Putin isn’t bluffing when he says we are getting closer to nuclear war? | There are two options, either he is bluffing, or isnt.
Very likely he is bluffing tho. As he has done all the time until now when it comes to nukes.
The other option is of course terrible, nuclear war. But, if it does happen, if russia does launch nukes … I do hope we reteliate in the same manner.

What high protein Indian vegetarian food sources are available for people that go to the gym and want to bulk up while also losing fat? | Depending on your choice, you can opt for some options for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian sources of protein. However, there are pros and cons associated with both.
Plant proteins are considered “healthier”, as they do not contain unhealthy fats like chicken or pork. But plant proteins are also incomplete - where animal protein contains all essential amino acids.
Some animal protein, especially fish, are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These are considered good fats, and evidence exists that they can be helpful in preventing sudden death or heart failure in people with a history of cardiovascular diseases.
While there are some plant sources which contain omega 3 fatty acids- they also contain a high amount of unhealthy fats.
There is no reliable plant protein that contains vitamin B12, which is a crucial vitamin for our bodies. Vitamin B12 helps in fatty acid and amino acid metabolism, DNA synthesis, maturation of red blood cells and functioning of the nervous system.
Non-vegetarians can easily get vitamin B12 from animal proteins. Vegetarians will need to supplement it.
Hence, it is essential that you have a well-balanced diet. If you are strictly vegetarian or vegan, you must eat different types of plant foods to make sure you get all the proteins you need. Consult a doctor if you need supplements.
Here is a list of the best vegetarian sources of protein.

Why do Arabs (mainly in Saudi Arabia and Gulf States) prefer to sleep in the morning and do activities or work at night? | I wonder who lied on you and told you this weird information
I think you asked this question hoping and expecting that we will say because of the high heat temperature. But actually this is a very incorrect information because most jobs in Saudi starts from 7 to 9 AM and they finish their work in 3–5PM there is no night work unless it's a work that needs Night Shift
School starts in the morning from 6 AM till 2 PM
The peak time in Saudi Arabia and the time of the crowded streets is the morning from 7-10 AM
and from 2–5 PM which is the time for people to leave their Jobs, Schools, Colleges.
It's a very traditional life like most countries of the world.
The air temperature is not an obstacle because Saudi Arabia is very large and its climate varies from region to region, not all regions are hot! Moreover, every place in Saudi Arabia, homes, offices, shops, cars, and every place there has high-quality air-conditioning equipment. So I don't think heat is a barrier! Moreover, the very hot months in Saudi Arabia are 3 and a half months, while the rest of the year is considered to vary between low and average temperature. It should also not be forgotten that man is the son of his environment, so Arabs can tolerate high temperatures, as they are not an obstacle for them.

What is the best way to get discounts on hotel rooms? | First of all ask. It is rare now for a hotel to have a set tariff most will offer a rate of the day which is worked out on anticipated demand. There will be room for wiggle room on price if you ask, nicely. Let the reservationist know your budget and he / she will look to see what they can do. Remember a room is a finite product if you don't sell it on the night you never get that sale back. Second, go online and look at the price listed on the booking websites. Most hotel chains work to a rate parity policy which means that rate is the same across the booking channels. The hotel will be paying this booking website commission anywhere between 15 - 30%. Call up the hotel tell them you have seen the price on [LINKED_TEXT: bookaroomhere.com] [URL: http://bookaroomhere.com/] and ask them for a 10% discount, everybody wins. Cheeky but it can work.

Does your dog ever act as if you offended him/her? | Do dogs actually get mad? ... According to PetMD, while dogs definitely feel emotions, they don't associate blame with those emotions. So yeah, your dog might be upset, but he's not fuming in the corner, cursing you internally. What's more, anger isn't an emotion that dogs are likely to feel very often, if at all. Dogs apologise by having droopy years, wide eyes, and they stop panting or wagging their tails. That is sign one. If the person does not forgive them yet, they start pawing and rubbing their faces against the leg. ... Instead of just saying sorry as humans do, dogs acknowledge that they have done a mistake.

What are the signs that your twin flame is an illusion created by yourself? | Only just very recently was I awakened to the fact that my “twin flame” is Christ! I’ve always seen Him as the “lover of my soul,” just a difference in terminology.
So, a “physical” twin flame is an illusion we create in ourselves for hopes sake of a love that arouses sexual desires and physical affections. True love is the awareness that God the Father has given us His Son to remove all our sin so He can make His abode in us! Unity in the flame 🔥of Christ!

How dangerous is low iron? | Iron deficiency occurs when there is an insufficient amount of iron in the body to meet its needs. Iron is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions. When a person has iron deficiency, it can lead to several consequences and symptoms, including:
Anemia: Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia worldwide. Anemia occurs when there is a decreased number of red blood cells or a decreased amount of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues. Iron is necessary for the production of hemoglobin, so when there is insufficient iron, the body may not produce enough healthy red blood cells, leading to anemia. Symptoms of anemia can include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, dizziness, and poor concentration.Reduced immune function: Iron is important for a healthy immune system. Iron deficiency can weaken the immune response, making individuals more susceptible to infections and illnesses.Impaired cognitive function: Iron deficiency has been associated with cognitive impairments, especially in children. It can affect learning ability, attention span, memory, and overall cognitive development.Fatigue and weakness: Iron is involved in the production of energy and the metabolism of nutrients. Insufficient iron levels can result in low energy levels, persistent fatigue, and general weakness.Pale skin and brittle nails: In severe cases of iron deficiency, the skin may become pale or have a yellowish tinge. Brittle or spoon-shaped nails (koilonychia) can also be a sign of iron deficiency.Restless legs syndrome: Iron deficiency has been linked to restless legs syndrome (RLS), a condition characterized by an uncomfortable urge to move the legs, often accompanied by unpleasant sensations.Pica: Some people with iron deficiency may develop a condition called pica, where they have cravings for non-food substances like ice, dirt, clay, or paper.
It's important to note that these symptoms can vary in severity depending on the extent of iron deficiency.

I can sound like the Beatles when singing. Should I exploit that? | All four at once? That would be different. Truth, I'm not sure that you could exploit it without being called out on it, or being labeled as an impersonator. It's a lot better to sing well and to create music that reflects you, not someone else.

Why is #ISRO trending on Twitter? | I have expressed it in this poem,
HAPPINESS IN 21 st CENTURY
These days happiness comes in packets of twelve
Twenty-first century serotonin is sugar-coated
Forget Skittles
We swallow small rainbows twice daily
To reshuffle the skewed chemicals in our brains.
Welcome to Generation Z.
You’ll fit in here, as long as you can train your brain to be
Politically correct.
We like our divisions invisible
(That way we can pretend they don’t exist.)
So let the prejudice fester in your mind but never
Cross your lips.
Here, we keep our zero-hour contracts pinned to the fridge
But bury statistics on starving children like
Bad report cards.
Empathy should be kept to a minimum
To avoid complication. You wouldn’t want to smudge
The careful lines inequality has painted, now
Would you?
A word of advice.
Spend some time lengthening your stride
So you can step cleanly over the street debris
Without dirtying your soles, and if the guilt
Starts to taste a little too bitter, toss them a coin to
Freshen your mouth.
On the dress code,
Wear feminism as a fashion statement
But bleach the hairs on your upper lip until
The gene for female body hair is
Recessive.
Spring clean your insides once a month
With diet pills you buy online and remember to keep
Your Instagram feed as colourful as your
Medication.

Did a landlord ever offer to lower your rent so that you wouldn't leave? | I have had a landlord reduce my rent, if I agreed to pay for and repair minor issues and to maintain the property. They agreed to pay for any major issues that would arise, but they required me to at least assist with doing the major repairs, when my ability was able.
At times I would offer to help repair company employees, who were called out to repair the major issues, so that I could help reduce the cost, if the situation came back up.
Over time, that arrangement saved both of us, quite a bit of money. Since I oftentimes helped any repair company employees, to fix issues, the company would reduce labor charge to reduce the cost of the labor, to the owner of the place that I was renting.
After a few years, I moved out due to the owner selling the house. However, it gave me a lot of information and experience with homeownership, and maintenance; which has been very helpful to me, since I bought my own house.
The arrangement between myself and the homeowners, came about because I had told them that they were changing me to much for rent. We sat down and came up with this arrangement. It knocked my rent down by almost $400.00 a month, when I was living in Florida.

How do I invest $20000 USD in the best possible way? | How to invest $20,000 largely depends on your age, goals and personal finances. Based on past performance and the current economic environment, we selected 8 strong investment options to consider.
8 best ways to invest $20K right now
1. Conservative investments
For risk-averse investors or those with a short time horizon — like those nearing retirement — low-risk securities such as Treasuries, money market funds and bank deposit products provide an unmatched level of safety and reliability compared to riskier investments.
For instance, US Treasuries are backed by the full faith and credit of the US government, so there’s little chance of default. And aside from the gauranteed fixed-rate of return on certificates of deposit (CDs), these bank products are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, in the event the bank goes under.
Conservative investments like these aren’t designed to produce large returns but rather are meant to preserve the purchasing power of one’s capital with low risk.
Types of conservative investments
US Treasuries, including Treasury Bills, Treasury Notes and Treasury BondsHigh-yield savings accountCDsMoney market fundsDividend-paying stocksCorporate bondsMunicipal bondsFixed annuitiesGold (physical gold and gold stocks)
Pros
Low risk.Stability.Conservation of capital.
Cons
Low return potential.Lower flexibility.Inflation risk.
2. Retirement accounts
Those with a 401(k) and company match may want to invest at least enough in the 401(k) to earn the full match — it’s free money you should prioritize. After that, turn your focus to maxing out an individual retirement account (IRA). IRAs offer a much greater selection of investment options compared to a 401(k)s.
Maxing out your IRA early in the year is probably one of the best investment decisions you can make. If you don’t yet have an IRA account, consider opening one. The 2023 maximum contribution for an IRA is $6,500, which is just over 30% of your $20,000. Since you can invest in individual stocks, ETFs and a range of other assets, IRAs make for worthy investment vehicles.
Pros
Tax benefitsMatching contributions from your employer.
Cons
Deposit limitations.Withdrawal limitations.
3. Stocks
Traditionally, equities have outperformed other asset classes. So the sooner you invest your $20k — or part of it — to use on the stock market, the sooner you can reap the benefits.
Pros
Great performance.Variety of options.High liquidity.
Cons
Volatility.Requires research
4. Exchange-traded funds
ETFs come in all flavors, but index funds — ETFs that match the moves of indices such as the S&P 500 or Nasdaq — provide a simple, pain-free way to invest. Which ETF you choose depends on how close you are to retirement and how much risk you’re willing to take. In the past, index ETFs, blue chip ETFs and dividend ETFs have consistently performed well with relatively low risk, making them a solid investment choice.
Pros
Variety of investment options.Trade like stocks.Convenience.
Cons
Expense ratio.Leveraged ETF gains can be misleading.
5. Robo-advisor
If the previous option seems too complicated or you don’t have the time to research, an excellent option is to invest your $20k is with a robo-advisor. These computer algorithms allocate your funds based on specific parameters you set.
Pros
Great for hands-off investors.Invests in ETFs and mutual funds.Less expensive than a financial advisor.
Cons
Robo-advisors can’t get to know you.Can’t handle complex portfolios.
7. Real estate investment trusts (REITs)
Although $20,000 may not be enough to purchase a property directly, you can buy part of it and even earn rental income through REITs. This option is often reserved for those who want passive income and low risk — and especially those who invest for the long term.
Pros
Earn rental income.Capital appreciation.Some REITs are publicly traded.
Cons
High taxes.Low liquidity.
8. Cryptocurrencies
Crypto can be lucrative, but it’s also highly speculative and should only be explored if your portfolio can weather the volatility. Because of this, consider investing a small amount of your $20k.
Cryptocurrency investment has always been an alternate investment that requires the lowest capital to startup. Generally, you can start with as low as $1, $10, $100, $1000 or any capital you consider small to earn consistent profit returns to your crypto portfolio up to 25% ROI and investors can get started investing in platform such as CAPITALINTEREST (www.capitalinterest .net) which has made crypto earning swift and easy for both beginners and professionals with zero fees.
Pros
Potentially high returns.Traded 24/7.
Cons
Volatile.Variety of risks.
Before you invest
Before you invest your $20,000, make sure your finances are in order and you have a clear goal of what you want to accomplish.
Pay off your debt.Create an emergency fund.Consider your goals.Diversify your holdings.
Bottom line
When you’re wondering what to invest in with $20k, consider dividing your funds between your retirement account, investing in individual stocks, ETFs, REITs and cryptocurrencies.You can divide your $20,000 among one or more investment options.Each investment option comes with its own pros and cons.
I hope this helps.
Remember; When it comes to investing, late is always better than never and investing a small amount is better than investing nothing.
