Are directory and folder the same? | Most of the times they are interchangeable terms. The directory is a classical term used since the early times of file systems while a folder is a sort of friendly name which may sound more familiar to Windows users.
The main difference is that a folder is a logical concept that does not necessarily map to a physical [LINKED_TEXT: directory script] [URL: https://comdev.eu/jomdirectory]. A directory is a file system object. A folder is a GUI object.
Strictly speaking, there is a difference between a directory which is a file system concept, and the graphical user interface metaphor that is used to represent it (a folder). For example, Microsoft Windows uses the concept of special folders to help present the contents of the computer to the user in a fairly consistent way that frees the user from having to deal with absolute directory paths, which can vary between versions of Windows, and between individual installations.

Did you burst crackers this Diwali? What are your views about court restrictions this year? | No I did not and have not been doing so for many years since my sons grew up. Pollution is caused owing to several factors and singling out crackers once a year only during Diwali is foolhardy. The restricted permission granted were also not practical and proved to be counterproductive. I could have understood if the SC had banned firecrackers across the board and throughout the year. However, this universal ban should be implemented only after rehabilitation of all manufacturers, workers and others who survive on its sale. A long- term solution to pollution is necessary as ad hoc measures like cracker ban during Diwali or odd-even traffic for a short period are ineffective. The SC's intent is good but not practical.

What do you think are the main advantages and disadvantages of teaching with technologies? | Teaching with technology is a great way to bring your lessons to life. You can show students how to interact with the content and make it more engaging. It's also great for when you need to make sure that all students are able to access the same content or resources.
However, teaching with technology has some major disadvantages. For example, if there is no internet connection at home or school, then students will not be able to complete their assignments. Also, if there are viruses on your computer, then it may affect other computers in the classroom.
These are just two examples of how teaching with technology can be problematic. However, if you use it correctly and keep an eye out for any potential issues, then it should work out fine!

Two hearts pump blood to the gills, while the third circulates it to the rest of the body. Talk about a unique cardiovascular system.The Great Wall of China Isn't Visible from Space: Despite popular belief, the Great Wall is not visible from the moon without aid. It's an impressive structure, but it's just not quite as massive as the myth suggests.Honey Never Spoils: Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible. Honey's low water content and natural preservatives make it virtually immortal.Bananas Are Berries, but Strawberries Aren't: Botanically speaking, bananas qualify as berries because they develop from a flower with a single ovary. On the other hand, strawberries, with their multiple ovaries, are not considered true berries.Cleopatra Lived Closer to the Moon Landing Than the Building of the Pyramids: The ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra lived around 30 BCE, while the Great Pyramid of Giza was built around 2560 BCE. The Apollo 11 moon landing, however, took place in 1969 CE.A Day on Venus is Longer Than a Year on Venus: Due to its slow rotation, Venus has an extremely long day (about 243 Earth days) compared to its shorter year (about 225 Earth days).

The justice department has told the state of Missouri that they can’t void federal gun laws. What would the justice department seek to do if the state went ahead with their plans anyways? Have many states pushed back against the federal government? | Our government is a Federal system, that was designed with several strict limits on the Federal system leaving remaining issues to the states and individuals.
There are two approaches that states take to blocking federal law, and the Missouri law contains both.
Background
Congress has used some of the clauses - like the interstate commerce clause to regulate things far beyond the strict original meaning. For example some of the environmental rules about water is based on the fact that the water may eventually flow into navigable waterways that are needed for interstate commerce.
While the Federal government has the right to regulate a militia if it is called up, that doesn’t given them to right to regulate everything about able bodied males from 18–45. Further when called up they are considered part of the Military and using them to enforce Federal laws domestically could be seen as a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.
The Federal government has used a variety of means to encourage things. For example when the Congress wanted the drinking age to be 21 nationwide, they tied funding for interstate highways to the states drinking age laws. In 1986 both Texas and North Carolina raised their drinking age to 21[LINKED_TEXT: AROUND THE NATION; Texas and North Carolina Raise Drinking Age to 21 (Published 1986)] [URL: https://www.nytimes.com/1986/09/01/us/around-the-nation-texas-and-north-carolina-raise-drinking-age-to-21.html]
Non Participation
The federal governement can not order a state to assist with federal agents enforcing federal law without declaring martial law and federalizing those agencies. Likewise the Federal government does not need to provide funding to state programs. When several cities, counties and states refused to enforce Immigration laws, the government threatened to withhold funds for law enforcement. This refusal to cooperate is how immigration sanctuaries work, and how medical marijuana laws work.
Declaring Federal Law Unconstitutional
This is the other method. Precedent establishes that the Supreme Court gets the final decision on what is constitutional. This does not prevent lower courts, legislative and executive bodies from saying something is unconstitutional. Just like a state Attorney General may tell a city police department they should let somebody go because the arrest was unconstitutional, a state Attorney General can say federal laws violate the constitution setting up a show down in the courts.
Note about Federal law being supreme over state law
Yes, Federal laws do take precedence as long as the Federal law is constitutional. They key is whether or not the law is constitutional. A lot of Federal laws take their constitutional justification from the interstate commerce clause.
States with recreational marijuana specify it must be grown, processed, packaged, shipped, etc all within the state and not leave the state. Thus avoiding the Federal government having authority under the interstate commerce clause.
Texas is challenging this area with suppressors currently.

Why has India ended up as such a corrupt country, while the USA, being another democratic country, has such an organized and law-abiding government in comparison with India? | The comparison is absurd.
India ans US has different start. While US got Independence in 1776 from Britain and after that remain autonomous, self sufficient, captured more land with more resources, faced challenges and work for centuries to get here, India was under Intolerant beasts from 12 century and after 1757 going on britsh expansion ruled for more than 150 years till it get Independence in 1947.
While US rapidly industrialise itself aftermath of Independence, adopted constitution India was systematically destroyed and even british don't let us to industrialise ourself. 1947 India was huge, chaos everywhere, 90% population below poverty line, literacy less than 17%, negligible Industrialisation and destroyed Agriculture. US is more than 240 year old whereas Indian modern Republic is just 70 years.
When we think of Western nation especially US, we think it's some goddamn quality guaranteed by Almighty However what problem you are facing now has been addressed by them earlier, they work upon it. Even during 1920s Gangster were ruling cities when there was Abolitionist period, corruption and political violence, much what India is facing now.
Another thing is when India get Independence, we though adopted democracy but our institutions were weak, democracy isn't a failure, weak institutions are. India built itself on colonial laws, let me address few points here;
Police Act 1861.CBI run by 1945 Act.1888 Municipal corporation where Bureaucrats hold more power than elected mayor.Governor.Election commisioner still elected by PM Cabinet approved by President.
These are some colonial laws that still hinders India's growth. People are corrupt everywhere, it's system which either facilitates corruption or strong institutions which are a nightmare for it.
Weak Police system:
As I mentioned about Police Act 1861, according to this police is a mere puppet of politicians. I had already written a detailed answer on long lasting police reforms.
[LINKED_TEXT: What police reforms does India need?] [URL: https://www.quora.com/What-police-reforms-does-India-need/answer/Krishna-Yaduvanshi-81]
Weak Judiciary:
Indian Judiciary lacks good infrastructure, technology, manpower, Resources and funding, judges, a disturbing trend of adjournments, etc. There is a brilliant research on this;
[LINKED_TEXT: Judicial ReformsCreation of All-India Judicial Service (AIJS) The competence and quality of judges in trial courts is critical for the integrity and credibility of the whole justice system. Therefore there is a strong case for creation of an All-India Judicial Service, in line with the IAS and IPS. FDR/Lok Satta in 2010 urged three eminent jurists – Sri Justice MN Venkatachaliah, (late) Sri Justice JS Verma, and (late) Sri Justice VR Krishna Iyer – to examine the issue of creation of an Indian Judicial Service. They gave their joint view as follows: “We agree with the urgent need to constitute the All India Judicial Service envisaged by Article 312 of the Constitution of India, at par with the other All India services like the I.A.S. to attract the best available talent at the threshold for the subordinate judiciary, which is at the cutting edge of the justice delivery system to improve its quality. Moreover, the subordinate judiciary is important feeder-line for appointments to the High Court. The general reluctance of competent lawyers to join the Bench even at the higher levels adds an additional urgency to the problem. AIJS will, in due course of time, also help to improve the quality of the High Courts. The modalities for creating the AIJS to achieve its avowed purpose, and the necessary constitutional changes and the legal frame-work can be worked out after acceptance of the proposal in principle.” Article 312 of the Constitution provides for the creation of an All–India Judicial Service (AIJS) common to the Union and the States. Such a service can be created and regulated by the Parliament by law, provided that the Council of States has declared by resolution supported by not less than two-thirds of the members present and voting that it is necessary or expedient in the national interest to do so. Speedy implementation of The Gramnyayalayas Act, 2008 The Government through the President’s address to Parliament gave a commitment to make dispensation of justice simpler, quicker and more effective, and to double the number of courts and judges in the subordinate judiciary in a phased manner. The government also announced its commitment to a policy of zero tolerance for violence against women, and to strengthen the criminal justice system for its effective implementation. As a result of FDR/Lok Satta’s efforts towards speedy, accessible and affordable justice the Parliament has enacted the Gram Nyayalayas Act in 2008 (Act 4 of 2009), providing for rural local courts for speedy justice through summary procedure, as an integral part of independent justice system. Under this law local courts should be appointed at intermediate Panchayat level. One of the problems of our justice system is many simple cases – civil or criminal – do not even reach the courts because of inaccessibility, cost and delays. Often people suffer injustice silently, or resort to rough and ready justice through extra-legal, often violent means. Local Courts with summary procedures can https://www.fdrindia.org/judicial-reforms/] [URL: https://www.fdrindia.org/judicial-reforms/]Socialist Economy:
Horrors of license Raj still remember by my father and grandparents. To get basic necessities, we have scarcity.
India contrary to popular belief adopted Socialism, while it may sound reasonable at 1947 conditions of ours, we took a long time till 1991 to get liberalisation, still a lot of work is to be done.
When you give too much power to government bureaucrats, politician to interfere in economy, business, entrepreneurship, it stop economic growth. This is why we have employment problem because we don't want to encourage business, people are poor and entrepreneurs run to foreign nations to start a business. These bureaucrats interrupt the work, business until they extoles money. Politicians will constantly interfere in your work as they have more powder than a citizen.
Quasi federalism and Municipality:
India is a huge, diverse nation with bulk of population, we need more power to locals amd tight check and balances to govern country.
In India, Urban body or Municipality, responsible for sanitation, roads, infrastructure, education and development at local levels lack not only resources but power. Some states in India who contest a direct election for Mayor still don't give any power to them other than a ceremonial purpose. Simply because we retain 1888 Bombay municipal act where government bureaucrats hold all executive power.
Lack of development, infrastructure accountability leads to more corruption.
[LINKED_TEXT: The unfinished business of decentralised urban governance in India | ORFUntil the early 1990s, India’s ULBs were under the complete control of the states, having little functional, financial and administrative autonomyhttps://www.google.com/amp/s/www.orfonline.org/research/the-unfinished-business-of-decentralised-urban-governance-in-india-61201/] [URL: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.orfonline.org/research/the-unfinished-business-of-decentralised-urban-governance-in-india-61201/]We need strong federalism.
Elections fundings.
Elections is a huge resource spending not just for State but even by political parties. In 2019 PM elections, $8billion or 55000 crores were spent by political parties.
How do you think they got such money? Ofcourse corruption from highest to lowest level.But how? Weak transparency, weak regulations. It's duty of election commissions to check balances but transparency is still a dream. Where are these parties getting huge money? No one knows. Cash, liquor, drugs are om full swing during elections.
Often to gain such large capital Political party give shelter to Goons, criminals who fetch money for them and continue their fear among society. MLAs and MPs in India poses so much power that they can influence economy, transfers, promotions of bureaucrats.
Famous web series Mirzapur is perfect example. Goons fund parties in term for protection.
Criminal Candidates.
Have you ever wonder why criminals wins election in India? Is it because of ignorance? Actually not.
Citizens often vote for powerful criminal candidates because of weak law and order. Many states in India lack support of police, judiciary, government and as Bollywood show us, these powerful criminals are famous among voters because they can get their work done. The muscles power will solve disputes since Rule of law is absent.
Not just voters even political parties field candidates facing criminal charges who can use muscle power, money to get votes. In India MPs and MLAs become a more power lust occupation instead of governance.
Party Appeasement.
Often not just criminals who fund election infact party members like MLAs or MPs who have control and power over other MLAs can threatened government to fall if he takes back his support. Parliamentary system relies on majority and if coalition affected by any thing, they will issue whip and Chief executive to hold power will not address the issues.
Remove Control over IAS/IPS.
Get this straight, like Police, IAS officers have no authority in front of cheap politics thanks to our colonial laws. She may be transferred here and there and this threatens stability, accountability.
We aren't genetically weak, we need to create more strong institutions.

Which is better: Lufthansa, Emirates or British Airways? | When it comes to deciding which airline is better between Lufthansa, Emirates, and British Airways, it largely depends on your needs and preferences.
All three are reputable airlines known for having attentive crews and pleasant customer service.
In terms of the actual flight experience, Lufthansa has spacious seating and good legroom, especially in the upper classes.
Emirates has a generous baggage allowance and modern, efficient aircrafts.
And British Airways has a wide selection of entertainment and in-flight dining options.
Ultimately, you should compare the cost of the flight, the location of the airports, and any connecting flights, in addition to considering the aforementioned qualities.
That being said, there is no wrong answer, as all three airlines are top-notch.

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? | 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?
If it’s safe for her to do so, and there are many reasons why it would not, there will likely be a conversation about it. He can get his say then.
However, it’s her body, ultimately it’s her choice. Whether he wants to be there and support the child is irrelevant. Why?? Because, first it has to live inside her body for months. It will take her food, use her bodily organs, and even leech calcium out of her bones to get what it needs. In many ways, a fetus behaves as a parasite, and because of that, it’s entirely her choice whether to let that happen. There are laws about forcing others to give body parts or fluids to keep another person alive. Forced pregnancy breaks all of those laws.
If he doesn’t like her decision, then next time, he should keep his damn pants on, shouldn’t he?

What are those INTP things that no one else can do? | Leaving a work so significant that it used to be the only important thing in our life for an extended period and we're so close to complete it, UNFINISHED. (Example: My 100 page long screenplays, changin career path immediately after four yrs of enginnering to management)Wishing that something so great gets postponed, because we feel anxious to be talking to someone, or we’re too lazy to go someplace outside. (Example: Job interview, trip, date, party, etc.)Searching Wikipedia/IMDb/Quora/Reddit in the middle of studies. (Example: Geographical facts, states' names, president's names).Overwriting on pre-written words, so we don't have to turn pages or even turn the neck.Spending hours to assist on others' tasks if it catches our attention (Example: Arranging computer drives, renaming, editing, sometimes even wardrobes.)Playing simple puzzle games (Sudoku, Nanogram, 2048, Quiz, Tetris, Crossword, etc) over a hundred times a day, for months, without getting bored.Not following the existing rules and instead making our own ones, and changing them after sometime (like my obsession over the font and bullets I should be using to write here and then feeling the need to over-explain the same)Deadpan expression over anything that's not funny or important to us (something illogical).The urge to make a sound in the quiet. (A joke maybe!).Personal achievements (finishing a TV series, whole filmography of a celebrity, etc). It's not easy as we are easily distracted and confused with the alternatives, and may take months to complete an 8-eps miniseries if we're not interested in it.Taking pride in our sadness, our loneliness, and our dorkiness.

How fast could the US Air Force SR-71 Blackbird fly if it pushed its engines to the point of destruction as some MiG-25 Foxbats did chasing the Blackbird? | The Swedish JA37 Viggen did intercept it on more than one occation. Not due to any superior speed, but due to the STRIL (Combat control and air surveillance) system, originally built up with British help after the war, and gradually modernized, which made it possible to find the SR-71 over the Baltic.
On one occation, an SR-71 got an engine problem, and then was escorted to safety by two Viggen pilots, who recently were awarded by the USAF for this. Otherwise, it would likely would have been forcefully intercepted by Soviet pilots and supposedly brought down in Soviet Russia.
The Soviet suirveillance system wasn’t nearly as efficient as the STRIL system. The Russians kept a whole fleet of “fishing vessels” with suspiciously many antennae on board outside Swedish territorial waters to keep track of Swedish air movements. The Swedes countered this by giving operational orders in secrecy to fighter pilots to start silently at low altitude from northern Sweden towards the gap between Gotland and the Baltic coast just to see how fast the Soviet Air Force would react without the help from the “fishing trawlers”. They didn’t have a chance (let alone that this was around 1960 - 1970 with JA 32 Lansens doing the trick). However, the Swedish air force also routinely exercised over the Baltic by flying just 10 - 20 m above sea level which not many other air forces did, the exceptions obiously being the Israelis, and I believe the Buccaneers of the RAF / RN.
Some commentators seem to have complained about me not answering the question. What I tried to do was to show that speed in itself is not everything in the calculus. The fact is that the SR-71 was intercepted at numerous occations. And that was not due to an aeroplae with superior speed or ability to gain altitude (the Russians presumably hadcomtenet aircraft too), but due to the Command and Control System of the Swedish Air Defence, which made it possible to vector the Viggens - and the Drakens - onto an interception point. The largest difference to the Soviets was that their Command and Control system was more rudimentary.
So with all respect to the USAF (and the Soviet Air Force, for that matter). It was possible to intercept the SR-71.
Regarding the Soviet Air Force at the time: The lifted off for intercepting the troubled SR-71, but stayed off when realizing the Swedes beat them to it. In those days the Russians actually played by the rules, and rarely tried anything stupid. They were predictable, earning much greater respect than today’s Russian Air Force, now even flying with their transponders off just outside Kastrup international airport in Copenhagen, forcing the Swedish Air Defence system to warn the civilian traffic.

Why are conservatives outraged when citizens get student loan relief, but are all for giant corporations being bailed out when they cannot repay their loans? | It was Obama and company doing all the corporate bailouts.
People that work for a living are against student loan forgiveness because we are all paying for the college education of someone that should be paying there own bills. It's also obvious corruption in order to use government funds to pay them off and buy votes. Its rediculous.

Is organ similar enough to piano where a piano player that doesn’t know organ can just switch over to organ and it would be easy? | It depends on the musician, their knowledge of theory, their ability to adapt and their knowledge of technique.
The organ is a sustaining instrument while the piano is rhythmic or percussive. The piano has one sound while the organ can have hundreds and the organ requires knowledge and taste to pull the most desirable stops. For some it also requires courage.
Piano music is written differently than organ music especially since organs have pedals. An organist playing organ music on a piano will require a third hand, a pianist will have to change how their piece is arranged to make it sound well on an organ. The pipe organ is not touch sensitive, some stops have no volume deviation, there is no sustain pedal. Of course these things have been added to some electronic organs.
Although the action is different for both piano and organ, the action on many organs can be different, also. The acoustic piano has a point of sound that the pianist should train to play to while the organ doesn’t. Both have static keybeds which neither should play to. Some organs have tracker actions which make the keys very stiff and requires the same technique that pianists employ such as arm weight, pronation, suppination, interdependence. Despite all the actions being different, the laws of physics and ergonomics remain the same and both they are played exactly the same. Those who disagree just don’t know. I would compare it to walking through snow, on ice, through water, through tall grass or on rocks. Each medium changes how you walk but the general concept remains the same. Once a keyboard player finds their arm weight and key resistance, they adjust how much weight to let down. The same can be said for a pianist who plays five different pianos. Each one will make the player alter how they depress the keys and how they use gravity.
The bottom line is both will have to adapt their music if they switch instrument. You can’t just play the exact same arrangement and notes unless it is something like an invention. Otherwise one needs to get creative with arranging, leaving stuff out, sustaining notes, inversions, registering and even how to listen. With a piano the sound comes out the front, back, side, top and bottom. On the organ, the sound can be coming from somewhere far away and the organist must adapt their touch, phrasing and even speed to compensate for the distance between pipes (or speakers) and the console.

Social Sciences: | Yes, social science is a real science. While it may not be the same as the natural sciences such as physics or chemistry, social science is a rigorous academic discipline that applies scientific methods to study human behavior, society, and culture.
Social science involves the systematic study of various aspects of human society, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, political science, and history. It uses scientific methods such as observation, experimentation, and data analysis to develop theories and test hypotheses.
Social science is also interdisciplinary, which means it draws on knowledge and methods from multiple fields to better understand human behavior and social phenomena. For example, sociologists may use psychological theories to explain why people behave the way they do in groups.
Overall, social science is a legitimate field of study that produces valuable insights into the complexities of human society and behavior. Its methods and findings are subject to peer review, replication, and criticism, which are hallmarks of scientific inquiry.

How did a plane crash on the upper floors of the World Trade Center result in the entire building collapsing? | Wow, where to start?
There’s lots of conspiracy theories about explosives etc etc… but it’s not difficult to work out why.
Construction - The WTC is… sorry, WAS… built out of concrete and steel. The steel I beams provide the strength to support the concrete. They have strength in compression and are flexible enough to allow the building to flex in high winds. Remember though they aren’t designed to take high level percussive impacts of aircraft weighing hundreds of tonnes travelling at a couple of hundred mph. They will lose some of their structural integrity upon receiving that sort of impact.
Flammable building contents - Wood, paper, furnishings including carpets, upholstery etc etc… oh and not forgetting the large amount of kerosene from the aircraft.750
Metallurgy - As has been pointed out by many conspiracy theorist, jet fuel or wood/paper don’t burn at a high enough temperature to melt steel. This is a fact and is NOT in dispute.
HOWEVER… YOU DO NOT NEED TO MELT STEEL TO MAKE IT MALLEABLE.
Steel melts… i.e. becomes a liquid between 1425 – 1540°C or 2600 – 2800°F.
To make steel MALLEABLE, i.e. easily deformable it only needs to be heated to 580°C or ~1000°F. Guess what temperature Jet Fuel burns at, or wood… or paper…
Jet fuel… 650 - 680°C or ~1100 - 1200°FWood… 400 - 650°C or 750 - 1000°FPaper… ignition is about 450°F but a paper fire will reach 680 - 700°C or 1200 - 1500°F quite easily.
Wood and paper were present in huge amounts in the buildings and burned for several hours between the plane impacts and the collapse. More than enough time for the steel cores and supports to reach malleability… at which point it loses approximately 50% of its strength.
What does that mean for the buildings? If we say the I beams were designed to take a load of say 1000 tonnes under normal conditions, and have a weight of 800 tonnes on them; they are safe.
Then we heat them to their malleability point, where they lose ~50% of their structural strength, now they can only support 500 tonnes, but they’ve till got 800 tonnes on them. Now they fail… and cause a collapse. No explosives required. Just time and heat.

Esteemed House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings said that the current White House security clearance scandal is "a million times worse" than the Hillary Clinton email scandal. What are your thoughts? | A million times worse may be a little hyperbole, but it's certainly a lot worse. According to White House whistleblower Tricia Newbold at least 25 people in the Trump administration have been granted security clearances against the recommendation of security officials.
Jared Kushner is the poster child of security breaches. He's been communicating with world leaders on "What's App" and has business dealings with the Saudis and the Chinese. His financial difficulties with his New York real estate could also compromise him.
He left off dozens of foreign contacts on his security clearance application and tried to establish back channel communications with the Kremlin.
Trump proceeded to lie about intervening in getting Jared's security clearance approved.
Multiply this situation by 25 and you know this is very serious.
Thanks for the A2A.

What would have happened if Hitler was captured alive? Would he have been dragged through the street like Gaddafi? | Hitler believed he would be treated like Mussolini.
I find this ironic, and it tells you how Hitler thought of himself. Compared to his portrayal of himself to the German people.
The truth is Hitler wouldn't have been paraded on the streets and executed. Even if Hitler surrendered to the Soviets they would've shot him in the head burned his corpse, and then told the world he committed suicide.
Thousands of Germans followed suit and ended their life, after the news that Hitler had shot himself. I find comfort in the fact that Hitler died scared and alone. He may have been scared but he wasn't alone. It proves to me he lived his life as an insecure scared and alone little man. An actor that the people loved. An actor that hated himself.

Is it safe to apply aloe vera gel on the face overnight? | Aloe vera gel is generally considered safe to apply on the face overnight for many people. [LINKED_TEXT: Aloe vera] [URL: https://healthywould.com/aloe-vera-benefits-for-men/] has soothing and moisturizing properties that can benefit the skin. However, it's important to note that everyone's skin is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another.
Before applying aloe vera gel to your face overnight, it's recommended to do a patch test. Apply a small amount of gel on a small area of your skin, such as the inside of your wrist or behind your ear, and leave it on overnight. Monitor your skin for any adverse reactions like redness, itching, or irritation. If you experience any negative effects, it's best to avoid using aloe vera gel on your face.
Additionally, make sure you're using pure, natural aloe vera gel without any added ingredients that may be harsh on the skin. Some commercial aloe vera gels may contain additives, fragrances, or preservatives that can cause irritation or allergies in some individuals.
If you have any existing skin conditions, such as eczema, rosacea, or acne, it's a good idea to consult with a dermatologist before using aloe vera gel on your face overnight. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific skin needs.
Overall, while aloe vera gel is generally safe to use on the face overnight, it's essential to listen to your skin and discontinue use if you experience any adverse reactions.

Having at 62, I have no pension. I haven’t payed enough in for old age pension and I am alone. What will I do? I work a few hours, have no savings, and live week to week. I live in Britain. | Your not on your own with this situation.
Many are doing it - they commit suicide, or choose to live with it; - as the system is so broken, ask yourself - do you want to keep living in it ? I certainly don’t.
I am 64 and live with heart and mental health issues. I really don’t give a shit about life anymore and could not care less what others think. They wont help nor do they act quickly enough.
I was retrenched at 60 after some 7 years full time and unable to find other work due to health issues. I have only 50% of my heart capacity but not eligible for home assistance or NDIS as I don’t have enough income to pay them.
My entire Government income goes just on the Rent; - leaving me to eat rice and cold water for Xmas dinner last, and beg for food parcels on other days.
I have been on suicide watch as I don’t want to live any more like this. My 3 kids won’t help me despite asking more than once. I have 3 grandsons I never see as they are 1800 kms away in another state with my married kids.
My rent is hiking from $495 week AUD to $700 week AUD at the end of my housing lease.
I am not allowed by the new rental laws to get a border in to rent share which would give me financial assistance and so basic social contact.
Things are so bad I have told many times to mental health people that I will burn the house down and go to jail just to get social interaction with people and have a permanent roof over my head. Of If I am lucky die in the event. The bigger the crime the more time I get in jail. I will do the crime to get the time if pushed - and I am quite vocal about that. At least I wont be living on the street like so many others my age are doing.
I live on my own and have no practical social support. At best I get sent home anti-depressants. For some strange reason the Landlord does not accept these to pay the rent. I have no clue as to why. Psychologists, Doctors and other professionals tell me they should work fine to fix my problems.
I am somewhat house bound and only go out to doctors or shopping when I can afford to do so. I am not on a pension but on Government income; still having to look for work when I am not on a sick certificate. I don’t qualify for a pension until I am 67 - another 3 years away.
I lost all my superannuation from working in a past housing scam some years ago as did over 100 other people all in the face of trying to set myself up for a comfortable retirement, after having open heart surgery.
It’s obvious I don’t know what I am doing, nor can I handle my life in a stable manner - as the proof is in the results - so I need real help. But as I have found out - who really cares ?

Why don't small civil jets use high bypass turbofans? | Mostly because of the mixed performance envelope they operate in.
Turboprop engines have a bypass of 50-100.
Works great to move lots of air at low speeds. So 0-300kts it's really efficient.
Modern high bypass are 10-12:1.
Works great at 300-500knts. Best efficiency in that speed range.
Military aircraft exceeding Mach 1 benefit from straight turbojet or low bypass at .5–1.5:1
One of the most popular smaller corporate jet engine is the Garrett TFE-731. Used on Lear, Cessna, Dassault and others.
It's bypass is 2.8–3:1. Works reasonably well in almost all the speed ranges. Not so well above .92 Mach.

Why do conspiracy theorists need to believe in their theories? | I recently watched a documentary on people who believe in conspiracy theories and it contended that a high percentage of them are just lonely, isolated people with an internet connection. Joining a group who pass around these theories adds heat and excitement to their lives. It connects them to a community where they find acceptance. Also it improves their self-esteem — as the documentary puts it, they feel like “The wise old goat among the sheep.”
They trade the theories like gossip, and like gossip relating wilder and wilder stories raises their standing in the group. But as they go down the conspiracy rabbit hole their need to find juicer and juicer theories leads them to darker and darker places. This is how formerly tolerant, harmless people become white supremacists and antisemites.

Any recommendations for time management software (time tracking, estimates, invoices, purchase orders) for a creative agency? | The advantages of using Attendance management system at enterprises and organization cannot be undermined. When the capacity of any organization is very huge, it is very difficult to check/manage the arrival and departure of every employee and when it comes to half days, leaves taken, late marks and holidays, it is very difficult and bit tedious to maintain a register of day to day maintaining statutory records, calculation of overtime and transfer of related information to the payroll scheme. So many companies are implementing time attendance software in India to have specific records. In order to develop productivity and growth several small, medium and large scales companies prefer using Attendance System.

What were German Emperor Frederick II’s influences on the World War? | Frederick the Great lived in the 18th century. He had zero inlfuence on a war erupting in 1914. You could, possibly, argue that his making Prussia an army with a state had an influence of ‘Prussian militarism’ (as had indeed been argued of WW II). However, Prussian militarism didn’t cause either WW I or WW II.

Why is abortion such a big deal in America? | In the United States, there is a percentage of the political Left that not only wants, but INSISTS that every pregnant woman has access to abortion up to the moment of parturition — i.e., birth.
Meanwhile, there are many of us who believe that life begins at conception.
Those of us who believe that abortion is the murder, by definition, of a living human being, might consider a compromise that allows abortion up until 15 weeks after conception because, even with the best efforts of a woman at preventing contraception, it does sometimes occur. At 15 weeks the fetus is, according to the best evidence available right now, not yet able to feel the pain of being aborted — although that is still questioned by some researchers.
However, that compromise is not even under consideration from the hardline Leftists.
There are hardliners on the Right, too, who won’t even consider an exception of a “no abortions” policy to exclude rape, but these are usually overridden by their more moderate colleagues.
However, there doesn’t seem to be any effort from the Left to moderate their own hardliners, so the issue is extremely contentious.

Why are ENFPs always so popular? | I’m an ENFP and I can only speak for myself. That said, people I meet tend to love me or hate me. There’s not a lot of neutral reactions.
I’m pretty old now (but still vain enough not to say how old—lol) and I’m O.K. with people who don’t like me. (Or mostly O.K. with it.)
I’m “popular” in that I have a lot of friends from a lot of different worlds. I’m a degenerate horseplayer, so I have horseplayer friends. I’m a journalist, so I have journalist friends. I have a lot of hobbies and pursuits. I know a lot of people. I’ve written about a lot of people. I forget some of the people I’ve written about.
ENFPs have a lot of interests and passions, so they meet a lot of people. But we are also said to be the most introverted of the extroverts. I really like and need my alone time.
Personally, I’m not interested in meeting new people. I’m interested in being able to spend more time with my real “friends.” By that I mean people who I like & who like me and not because I can write stories about them or hit jobs on their enemies. I’ve always known these people are not my friends, but that’s something that’s been driven home for me on several occasions in the last 10 years.
But….I do seem to keep meeting new people and can’t help becoming friends with some of them.
Being old makes me aware time is short. More than anything, I want friends I can laugh with. Tell silly jokes and laugh. That’s what I want.
I’m the administrator of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder space & the Empaths space on Quora. I don’t do that to make friends, but to spread info on NPD and awareness of Empaths. The NPD thing is more like a duty. Once you’ve been tricked by one and figured out the slick & sick gamers they are, you just have to tell other people about it. To warn them. Empaths are real, despite what the Empath-bashers say (I haven’t figured out the Empath-bashers).
I wouldn’t mind having more Empath friends, but you have to let them come to you. I’ve met a lot of people, but mostly, now, I want to spend time with people who are honest and kind and make me laugh.

Why aren't bullets sharp? | The opposite reason you leave a knife Or object in you, to stop the bleeding. I you were to stab some one with a sharpened thin knife, or jagged piece of sheet metal, which one would make them bleed more. If you said the knife. Your wrong. The jagged price would collect more tissue and have a better chance of causing more damage while a thin sharpened blade would leave a nice straight cut; witch can be patched up and fixed. If you were stabed and the attacker ran away with the knife still in you, you want to leave it to stop blood from flowing through the wound. But that would be harder to do with a large shredded would. Same with a bullet. It a bullet was sharp and pointed it could pass through with minimal damage. While a curved, rounded or blunt bullet would require more forse to tear the skin making a somewhat larger wound making it harder to fix/patch up.
I hope this was helpful and I apologize for any incorrect spelling, punctuation or grammar.

Can an employer continue to ask for help once an employee has resigned? | Only within the notice period. Normally it’s a week, for most jobs, and higher level jobs can be 2, or 4 weeks notice. During the notice period, the employee normally works for this time and it is your responsibility to help with any transitioning and training new staff during this time. Always do what is morally correct, don’t be sour when exiting a company, you’ll only regret it later.
the second option is your employer can elect to pay your notice period in additional pay-out, meaning they pay you 1 weeks notice (or 2/4, depends on your contract) then they will walk you out of the premises and you no longer work there. If this is the case you are not employed by them as of the day they terminated your employment, so I would not answer any calls and stop all communication. If they state some Bull-S%$T about you needing to help during the notice period, you can formally email them stating something like “ My notice period was paid-out and as of Date-Month-Year, I no longer work for Company X. Goodluck. “

What are the differences between Babylonians and Sumerians? | Both Biblical and secular ancient history explain the differences between the Babylonians and the Sumerians.
Noah disembarked from the Ark with his wife, his three sons and his three daughters-in-law. They came out of the East and settled in the land of Shinar, which is Mesopotamia, part of which is ancient Sumer. According to the Bible (Genesis 11:1), the entire world spoke a common language, Sumerian in my opinion.
What do we know about the Sumerian language? We know that it is a language isolate, i.e., no known source. This has caused much confusion with secular scientists and the source of the Sumerian language is referred to as the “Sumerian problem.” Both the Bible and Sumerian history document Sumerian as the original language that was later confused. Both histories document this as the beginning of the various languages (Reference 1 and Genesis 11:9).
Moreover, before the confusion of tongues, everyone on earth was a Sumerian. Then, after the confusion of tongues, the Babylonians separated from the others and spoke Akkadian, a language not related to Sumerian.

What is your review of 'Dil Bechara' (2020 movie)? | So, this is a completely honest review of Dil Bechara sans all the cheesiness unlike my previous answer. Also, these are just my opinions and it is okay if you found it unpopular or brutal.
The movie was average. There, I said it.
But, there are certain things that make the movie not easily forgettable. Since the movie was 0% nepotistic, we could see only talent in the movie. Whether it be lead characters or the supporting ones.
Direction: It was not that good. The movie became a bit slow in the second half of the movie and all the emotional scenes would not have made me tear up if it wasn't for Sushant.
Also, I think the movie was a bit rushed. I wanted to see slow romance but, here everything went too fast.
If you consider it as a directorial debut, then it was good. The character development of everyone was on point especially, Kizie.
Actors: Sanjana Sanghi is a promising debutant. To play such a complex character like a cancer patient and that too, in your debut movie, requires guts.
I would like to see some acknowledgement given to her performance in this movie. (Filmfare, I am not talking to you.)
Now, talking about Sushant, I think Manny was his best performance in his career. How Manny goes from being a goofy character who makes everyone happy around him to a helpless cancer patient who wants to live a bit longer was brilliantly portrayed.
In the first few minutes of the movie I thought he was trying too hard but, by the end I really enjoyed his acting. All the other supporting characters did justice to their roles, especially Swastika Mukherjee who played Kizie's mother.
Music: The music was good even though it did not exceed the 'Rahman Expectations'. The songs were average and the ones I liked were ‘Khulke Jeene Ka’ and ‘Maskhari'.
Dialogues: The one thing about the movie that is truly good is its dialogues. They were very touching and meaningful. Overall Review: Dil Bechara is a remake but it did not seem like they copied off the whole movie with different actors. It added some elements of it's own and gave the movie a whole new meaning and life. Anyways, the movie was a fun ride. The movie gave us a fresh new talent and definitely, was a befitting goodbye to Sushant.❤

Why aren't Macs being built with touch screens? | As originally pointed out by Steve Jobs with the release of the iPad a decade ago, reaching up at a screen to do gestures becomes tiring on arms, and its better to either just look down while touching a screen or use a standard keyboard with a great trackpad, as MacBooks have continued to dominate on for years. On the other hand the iPad lineup has become closer and closer to
Also as a consolation that some touchscreen interactions are convenient, the Touch Bar was introduced to MacBook Pros, and whether you like it or not (a rather divisive feature), they are used as much as touch screens are.
As a note with the announcement that Macs will have ARM based processors moving forward, the likelihood has increased that Apple will release a 2 in 1 at some point in the future that will be able to run both Mac OS in a laptop mode and iOS in tablet mode, where a touchscreen would be required.

My blood pressure was 138/83 and my pulse was 52. Is this borderline high? | A blood pressure reading of 138/83 mmHg falls into the category of "stage 1" hypertension, according to the American Heart Association's guidelines. This means that your blood pressure is higher than the normal range, but it is not yet in the "stage 2" or "hypertensive crisis" range. A normal blood pressure reading is typically around 120/80 mmHg, but optimal blood pressure values may vary depending on factors such as age and overall health.
A pulse rate of 52 beats per minute is generally considered to be within the normal range for adults, although it may be lower than average. However, a low pulse rate can sometimes be a sign of certain medical conditions or medications, so it's always a good idea to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

They are system languages and general programming must be understood before system programming. System programming being about the platform might seem interesting and attractive, but most programming is about solving problems not taking care of problems of the system.
But it is not just because C and C++ are system languages, they are just old, primitive, and flawed languages perpetuating constraints of 50 years ago which are exposed in the compromises in the languages.

The Mahabharata | I have read more than 300 answers on the question ' who was the most powerful warrior in Mahabharata '. I also read the authentic Bori & KMG edition of MB as well as some other versions. And in my opinion, There are three warriors who were just remarkable in the kurukshetra war. I'm not including Virata War or any other war because the virata parva creates a lot of confusion. The virata war states that arjuna overpowered all the kaurava warriors single handedly including warriors like Bhisma, Drona & Karna. That's something really idiotic as the same arjuna was unable to defeat & Kill the same warriors in kurukshetra. And the most interesting question, why karna didn't used his vasavi shakti in Virata. Now some may say, that Karna got the weapon after the battle and timeline is mixed up as it was post narration. So going through this statement, it indicates karna had Kawach and kundal with him, which even krishna said even my sudarshan can't able peirce it. So how arjuna? Anyways, it can't be ignored
1) Arjun was protected by Lord hanuman present at the flagstaff......2) It was Agnidev who supplied inexhaustible arrows to arjun.......
Sacred-Text: (Virat Parv )Jishnu returned again to the cemetery and having approached the same Sami tree stood there with body mangled by the arrows of the enemy. Then that terrible monkey(Lord Hanuman) blazing like fire ascended into the sky with those other creatures in the flag-staff.
Karna was using ordinary bow and he was indeed the first who hit the bow of opponent, but as arjuna bow was celestial, it didn't broke. While karna was using ordinary bow, and when arjuna aimed karna's bow, the rest is history.
And when karna & bheesma recovered by Arjuna's blow and came back to fight, Arjuna used Sammohna Astra in order to escape.
the wielder of the Gandiva who was capable of enduring all foes, evolved another irresistible weapon obtained from Indra, called Sanmohana.
So anyways, Here are the list of top three most powerful warriors of Mahabharata.
1: Bheesma
2: Karna
3: Drona
And if you talk about the 4th position, it's indeed the mighty *Dhananjaya*.
Now some will say, Lord Shiva himself told that Arjuna was the most courageous warrior as well as equal to him as a warrior. Now that's something a god word, with no vanity. Even Parshuram or you can say lord vishnu told karna there's no khsatriya thy equal to you. Even lord Krishna told to arjuna that i consider karna superior to you. Now it points that karna is stronger than Lord Shiva who was equal to Arjuna. We all know Lord Shiva is the supreme god and calling arjuna equal to him was just a blessing. If you really think Arjuna was equal to Lord Shiva (The supreme god) in terms of power then there's nothing to say about it.
1: Bheeema: Now if we talk about bheesma, the man who was capable to give a tight fight to Lord Parshuram, the disciple of lord Shiva & the avtaar of Vishnu. That's an amazing feat! Though we all know if Lord Parshuram wants, he had destroyed Bheesma within a few second. He was himself the Vishnu, the Krishna, the Rama, the supreme being. But he was just testing the skills of his disciple and even blessed him when the fight ends. Infact, in kurukshetra war, Lord Krishna was ready to broke his wow in order to kill bheesma.
“Fulfilling my vow and sacrificing His own promise, He got down from the chariot, took up its wheel, and ran towards me hurriedly, just as a lion goes to kill an elephant. He even dropped His outer garment on the way”
2: Karna: Son of Radha, one of the most powerful character in MB. I have read more than 15 versions of MB and found that most of them include Drona rejecting Karna from teaching archery. However Bori & KMG both clarifies that Karna was indeed a student of drona. Now these seems really illogical, as karna was a suta putra and drona got the contract for teaching kuru princes only, then why only karna got that opportunity and not other learners of suta caste. In Draupad war, it was Khsatriya Karna, the son of Gandhari, who was defeated by Dhrupad. While the Suyaputra Karna single-handedly defeated Draupad during his Digvijay ( Dig - World, Vijay - to Conquer):
Sacred-Text :
"Then, O bull among the Bharatas, that mighty bowman, Karna, surrounded by a large army, besieged the beautiful city of Drupada. And he, after a hard conflict, brought the hero under subjection, and, O best of monarchs, made Drupada contribute silver and gold and gems, and also pay tribute. And, O foremost of kings, having subdued him, (Karna) brought under subjection those princes that were under him (Drupada) and made them pay tribute.
I'm clarifying every doubt in this post and so i had to mention some misconceptions.
Karna overpowering Arjuna in Kurukshetra war
"Then Karna, with a number of whetted shafts endued with great energy, cut off the string of Arjuna's bow. Similarly he cut off the second string, and then the third, and then the fourth, and then the fifth. The sixth also was cut off by Vrisha, and then the seventh, then the eighth, then the ninth, then the tenth, and then at last the eleventh."
KARNA CUTTING OFF ARJUNA'S GANDIVA STRINGS 11 TIMES CONSECUTIVELY. This was a feat which none had achieved. Neither Bhishma nor Drona.
Karna possessed the vasada dart, which could kill Arjuna in plenty of seconds.
Section 146 of Drona Parva, Krishna says
"For the present, O Partha, it is not proper for thee to fight with Karna.The latter hath with him the blazing dart, like a fierce meteor, that Vasava gave him. O slayer of hostile heroes,he hath kept it for thy sake, worshipping it with reverence." (Fine, that was a normal situation, Krishna stopped Arjuna to fight, that's fine)
But again, in Section 173 of Drona Parva,
Krishna says "I do not, however, O sinless one,regard the time to have come, O mighty-armed one,for thee to encounter the Suta's son in battle. The blazing dart, resembling a mighty meteor, given himby Vasava, is still with him, O thou of mighty arms, kept for thee with care,by the Suta's son. He keepeth that dart by him, and hath now assumed a terribleform."
(This was unacceptable since Karna was smashing away everyone and Yudhishthira was panicking)
Lord Krishna was creating illusions so that karna would not use his vasava dart. Same happend in virata war.
“'Karna having assented to this, saying 'So be it' (the desire of) slaughtering the wielder of Gandiva, O bull amongst the Sinis, was ever present in Karna's heart. I, however, O foremost of warriors, always used to stupefy the son of Radha. It was for this that he did not hurl the dart at Pandu's son, owning white steeds.”
Parashuram told Karna in a gentle way that his Brahmastra alone would be forgotten when he faced a "warrior equal to his prowess" and also said "On earth,no Kshatriya will be thy equal in battle". But Karna used Brahmastra despite forgetting. Becauseof Parashuram’s counter praising that no Kshatriya would be Karna’s equal.
He used it thrice against Arjuna (Section 89, Section 90 after forgetting for a moment, and again in Section 91) Thus, Karna made the praise of his Guru truthful by invoking Brahmastra 3 times and proved his Guru’s fact that that Karna was a better warrior than Arjuna, if they were by any means equal, Karna could have never used Brahmastra even once! Even Lord Krishna offered Sudarshana to Arjuna for killing karna.
Now those who think that Arjuna had pashupatastra but he didn't used it. So for your kind information, Lord Parshuram also had pashupatastra and it has been well mentioned in Brahmand Puran. And karna got all the astras of Lord Parshuram. Even Lord Krishna said
Yonder Karna urges forward the mighty car-warriors of the Dhartarashtras towards the son of Pritha with the weaponscalled Sthunakarna, Indrasjaha and *Pasupata*, and with clubs and other weapons.
*Now some arjuna fans will say, that pashupatastra which karna possessed was different and one that arjuna had was different. Please stop this! Arjuna may have used it way before to kill karna as per his vow, but he knew karna would counter it with his own PPA and hence he didn't used it. Arjuna himself accepted that he didn't have any weapon capable to counter bhargavastra thus bhargavastra was equally powerful, if not, Superior to pashupatastra!* It has been written by vyass that pashupatastra can damage world only if mahadeva shot it thus Arjuna shooting pashupatastra will cause no effect as Arjuna himself was weak. He couldn't do anything even after firing brahmastra many times so after release by partha, all weapons lost its power. Despite being Superior to Arjuna, Karna never used his vasavi Shakti against Arjuna (though he got many chance). He also not used bhargavastra second time once Arjuna fled the battlefield so was nagastra. It's Karna who avoided to use nuclear weapons most of the times. Even when Karna’s wheel sunk badly and his car tilted badly, Karna had a real shot at killing Arjuna when he made Arjuna lose his Gandiva from his hand’s grasp for the first time ever (An unimaginable feat).
Arjuna trembled like a mountain in an earthquake, Gandiva fell down but Karna did not kill Arjuna. He took the time gap to retrieve the sunken wheel.
3: Drona: Drona overpowering Arjuna
And then the preceptor struck Dhananjaya at the breast with a long shaft shot with great force and capable of drinking the life-blood of every foe. Then Arjuna, deprived of strength, shook in all his limbs, like a hill during an earthquake. Soon, however, regaining for fortitude, Vibhatsu pierced Drona with many winged arrows. Then Drona struck Vasudeva with five arrows. And he struck Arjuna with three and seventy arrows, and his standard with three. Then, O king, the valorous Drona getting the better of his disciple, within the twinkling of an eye made Arjuna invisible by means of his arrowy showers.
Arjuna accepted his inability to defeat Drona in the first encounter.
Arjuna answered,
'Thou art my preceptor and not my foe. I am thy disciple and, therefore, like to thy son. Nor is there the man in the whole world who can vanquish thee in battle.
“Believe it or not, But Arjuna was incapable to defeat these three with the help of Lord Krishna. Though Arjuna was a Maha Nayak, The Hero of Mahabharata, and i'm a big fan of him. And if arjuna not, there was no one who can able to kill these three even with the help of lord krishna.*

Is the term "illegal immigrant" meant to apply to the person or the offense, similar to calling a convict a "murderer"? | You have to murder someone to be called a murderer! All convicts are not murderers. The term “illegal alien,” which describes an individual person, means someone who committed an unlawful act (illegal) was not a citizen of where the illegal act was performed (alien). An “immigrant” by English definition is someone who is lawfully traveling from their home country into another country. So, there is no such thing as an illegal legal. That’s like saying an illegal pilot flew the plane when being a pilot is an acquired legally licensed act. The statement should be a person illegally flew the plane, meaning without permission or/and without license.
The media/press and progressive socialist democrats use the phrase “illegal immigrant” to try and give illegal aliens a more positive spin.

What should writers know? | Writing and editing are two separate processes.
Yes, we can self-edit, but trying to edit while you’re writing usually leads to bad writing. Or the process takes way longer than it should.
So many times I see inexperienced writers trying to come up with the right words while they’re writing, and mid-sentence they lose their train of thought. They get so bogged down on the words that they forget about the idea.
Don’t do this. Get your thoughts down first. Get the main idea down on paper, then go back and edit.
It can help to step away from it completely. Put it down for an hour, or a day even.
Then come back and edit as if somebody else wrote it. At that point it isn’t your baby anymore, and it’s a lot easier to call somebody else’s baby ugly.
Fill in the missing words. Move this sentence there, that sentence there. Make it yours again.
I think most people will find this technique more efficient and less burdensome than trying to edit as you write. It’s always worked for me.
And that baby won’t be ugly anymore.
