What is dropshipping? Is it really profitable? | Dropshipping is an online business model of selling products without stock. You delegate the storage and logistics duties to the supplier, while you only create a store and attract customers – the model works like that. That’s why your online store is not tied to the warehouse.
This is one of the advantages of the dropshipping business model. You don’t need a huge warehouse where products will be stored, and the supplier does most of the job for you: inventory issues, stocking and shipping are not your concern!
It turns out that to open a store and start selling, you do not need any production facility or warehouse. All questions of logistics and storage of goods are solved by the supplier, your task is to attract customers and provide them with the opportunity to pay on the website.
Of course, for many people, this business model is profitable. They put their energy, time and money there. But dropshipping (like any other business) is not a business for everyone. Before you think about creating your own dropshipping store, it is worth to study the principles of this business model and decide for yourself whether you want/ can do it or not.
To explore this business model in more detail, read this guide: [LINKED_TEXT: How to Start a Dropshipping Business with 9 Easy Steps] [URL: https://alidropship.com/guide/]

Why is the microwave oven harmful to food? | No, food cooked in a microwave oven is not inherently bad for your health. Microwave ovens use electromagnetic waves to generate heat, which cooks food quickly and efficiently. There is a common misconception that microwave cooking negatively affects the nutritional value of food, but this is not entirely accurate.
Like any cooking method, the impact on nutritional value depends on factors such as cooking time, temperature, and the type of food being prepared. Overcooking or excessive heating can lead to nutrient loss in any cooking process, including microwave cooking. However, when used properly, microwave ovens can help retain the nutrients in food.
Microwaves cook food by generating heat directly within the food itself, rather than through the heating elements or hot air in conventional ovens. This shorter cooking time and the limited use of water helps to minimize nutrient loss, as some vitamins and minerals are sensitive to heat and water-soluble.
To preserve the nutritional value while using a microwave oven, consider the following tips:
Use microwave-safe containers: Ensure the containers used are microwave-safe to prevent harmful chemicals from leaching into the food.Minimize water usage: Steaming or microwaving foods with minimal or no added water helps retain their nutritional content.Cook in small portions: Cooking smaller portions allows for more even heating and reduces the risk of overcooking.Avoid overcooking: Use the appropriate cooking time and power level to avoid overcooking and nutrient loss. Check the food regularly to prevent overheating.Preserve texture and color: Microwaving foods for a shorter duration can help retain their texture, color, and overall quality.Prioritize balanced meals: Focus on incorporating a variety of fresh, whole foods into your meals to ensure a balanced and nutritious diet.
It's important to note that microwaving food in microwave-safe containers, following proper cooking techniques, and maintaining a varied diet are all crucial for overall health and nutrition.

Where can I discreetly get rid of wine bottles? | If you have a lot, pack them up into wine boxes and deliver them to a recycling center. People donate recyclables in bulk all the time, and it’s probably the easiest, most eco-friendly way to separate yourself from them discreetly.
Don’t offer up an explanation if nobody asks. To offer any sort of excuse implying you didn’t drink them all yourself is just inviting that very assumption. (Same goes when you buy it. Non-problem drinkers will plunk it on the counter; problem drinkers will volunteer that they’re “hosting a dinner party” or “having friends over” to the clerk ringing up their wine purchase.)
If you only have a few, throw them in with your stuff (not together or they’ll clank). One in the gym bag, the other in your purse, and toss them into a public recycle bin.
If you have no other choice and need to dump them in the trash, put the wine bottle into a sturdy paper bag and crush it with a hammer or rolling pin or rock. Then roll it up tight and stuff it in there, making sure the glass shards can’t easily escape.
If it’s in the form of crushed glass, it’s not easily identifiable as a wine bottle. But don’t put crushed glass into the recycling; that could be dangerous.

What are some cool, lesser known facts about the Indian Railways? | Presenting to you India’s shortest running passenger train with a huge fan following and loyal commuter base, ‘The Legendary Ait-Konch Shuttle’!!!! That's why Ait station is junction.
The Ait-Konch Shuttle is a train that runs with just 3 coaches and covers a distance of 13.68 kilometres in 35 minutes, at a sluggish pace of 30 Kilometers per hour. Sounds interesting? What is more interesting is the history behind this.
Konch and Ait are two tiny towns in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh and comes under the Jalaun district.The crumbling 15 km road ride from Konch to Ait is a daunting one for bones, young and old. Tempos charge Rs 20 for each passenger and arrive at the destination in one hour.*The train made its first run around 1901-1903, even before the Railway Board was constituted in 1905.*Introduced by British, the shuttle was meant to ferry goods and passengers as Konch was a big market for cotton, forest produce, and ghee. The cotton was sent to Manchester for weaving.When the government decided to discontinue its services in 1997, thousands squatted on the railway line in protest. The railways tried to reason with them and a Rail Bus was sent to Konch to replace the shuttle. But the shuttle remained the locals’ first and only choice.Three months later, the train was back on track.There is no halt on the way but a passenger can flag it down with a wave, or request the guard to let him alight when his village nears. Students and traders from adjoining villages take it to travel to Konch, which is the tehsil headquarters and also has several educational institutions.

Perhaps 7,000 of these select fire rifles were made to be used exclusively by German paratroopers:
It is considered a small arm because it was intended to be used by one man. Yes, they did come with bayonets and some had scopes. It used a full sized cartridge, the 7.92×57mm Mauser.
They go for $100,000 to $300,000 depending on condition, at auction.

What do you want to say to Adam D'Angelo, the CEO of Quora? | Dear Adam,
top marks! Seriously! I’m not sure that Quora actually constitutes social media, per se, but it’s somewhat ‘moreish’ to me? Odd really, because Quora seems to bridge a strange gap in people’s lives! Unlike certain other social media sites, there is no inferred ‘snooping policy’ by the individual - I simply don’t care what someone has had for tea or, indeed, what they’ve been up to for the past 20 years - if someone hasn’t heard from me for 20 years, there’s a reason - for them and for me? However, the odd thing is that I seem to have made some friends because of Quora? Admittedly, these are ‘cyber-friends’, but I simply don’t care? Such people make me think, make me laugh and make me weep - but it’s good to ‘belong’! I consider myself to be considerably more ‘well rounded’ because of these wonderful people!
Quora isn’t the sort of site for one to check on old friends, it’s the sort of site to make new friends! Long may it continue!
Btw, it’s not for me to tell you how to run a successful business, but if maybe if you were to sell ‘Quora’ merchandise, you know the type of thing - mugs, tees, keyrings, baseball caps etc, then I think that Quora would do well out of it? Maybe, just maybe, if you were to award such items to (ahem!) ‘Top Writers’, then this would be good too? Just sayin’…

What was your craziest experience in the IDF? | I've never been a combat soldier, so ‘crazy’ isn't exactly the term I'd use to describe my IDF service. I've never participated in a military drill, let alone an operation, so I don't have any tales worthy of a Hollywood film.
Ah, well… I guess I'll just have to settle for that one incident where I was half an inch away from potentially dying.
Oh, I have your attention now?
Excellent. Let us begin.
The story takes place in the summer of 2013, during the Officer's Training course, whose purpose is to take hungry, sleep-deprived soldiers and transform them into hungry, sleep-deprived soldiers with extra responsibilities.
(Okay, it's not that bad. It's just common practice here in Israel for everyone to poke fun at the officers, including the officers themselves. Why serve more? The answer is obvious, yet we all ask it nonetheless.)
Being religious, I was placed in the segregated unit from day one (“Goddammit.”), with a bunch of commanders who thought that since we were a bunch of dudes, we should go out and do macho things. That we should get our own ‘combat’ experience.
So it was no surprise when they decided one day that instead of allowing us to take a (well-deserved!) break for a bit, a few lucky folks would be going out on a ‘patrol’ around the base, because, you know, it builds character. We were to split up into two teams of four, each equipped with a team leader and a dude with a walkie-talkie the size of a tank (that's me!), and thus learn to operate seamlessly as a group.
(In retrospect, it wasn't that stupid of an idea, but I still found it quite amusing to think about every time I thought about it when I sat in my office, working what was unmistakably a desk job.)
(I also have absolutely no recollection who the three dudes on my team were.)
The first task we were given was to patrol, which made sense, considering that this was point of the exercise in the first place. This involved pretending to walk in formation, a bit of crouching, and occasionally tackling the scenarios which our commander - who was walking behind us - improvised.
“You see two shadows approaching from the right. Quick - what do you do?”
We immediately get into position and crouch down, while our fearless leader shouts out in the shadow’s general direction:
“Stop, stop*, and identify yourself!”
There was no answer, of course. Non-existent shadows can’t talk.
Next up was surveillance. We were told to head to the top of a hill, spread out, lie down on our stomachs, and be prepared for the unspeakable horrors which would undoubtedly befall us. My eyebrows were raised as I lay down on the rocks, but I kept still and quiet, awaiting further orders.
It was then that I felt a sharp, intense pain in my thigh.
For a moment, my mind didn't register what was going on. Huh? The hell?
But it didn't take me any more than a single second to catch on.
Oh, crap.
I quickly stood up, slightly unnerved but still feeling relatively calm, and called out:
“Commander… a scorpion just got me.”
My commander walked towards me, unsure if I was being serious; my friends shuffled over hesitantly, wondering if this was actually part of the drill.
“A scorpion? You sure?”
“Damn sure.”
He took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and pointed it towards the ground. Sure enough, a bright yellow scorpion was scurrying around, circling a large rock which provided it shelter just a moment ago, a rock which I was unfortunate enough to lie directly upon.
(Not the actual little bugger, but a close representation)
The protocol in such a situation is simple: take a picture of the scorpion, kill it, and carry the guy who was stung away on a stretcher, pronto, and that's just what my unit did, minus the pronto part.
Meanwhile, I'm feeling oddly calm about the whole situation. There's a certain serenity in knowing that the worst has already happened, and that things are no longer in your hands. (Or maybe that's just me being weird. Who cares? As long as it works.)
My friends hoist me on the stretcher and we began our ten-minute trek back to base. Ever been on a stretcher before? It’s like a roller-coaster ride, with that exhilarating sensation of having your stomach drop out from under you every time you encounter a bump, except that roller-coasters are safe. Usually.
Meanwhile, my commander is doing his due diligence by inquiring whether I’m feeling fine. I assure him that except for the fact that the stung area is burning like mad, I’m feeling perfectly fine and clear-headed, and that I’ll definitely let him know if I’m feeling woozy.
So I’m sitting there in the stretcher, inwardly cursing every time the damn thing lurches because of my friends’ inexperience, but at the same time, I’m counting my blessings. It was fairly obvious to me what had just transpired: the sting managed to pierce the skin, hence the burning sensation, but it didn’t go in far enough for the venom to enter the bloodstream. If it was just a half-inch deeper, though…
Ten minutes later, and my friends arrive at the entrance to the base, where a van is waiting to take me to the infirmary. I sit in the back seat and make myself comfortable, with my commander sitting beside me, obviously thinking about how he could get us out ‘patrolling’ again without us being attacked by potentially deadly animals. Meanwhile, the officer sitting alongside the driver decides that now would be an excellent time to discuss different types of scorpions and how venomous they are.
“So, you know, it's common knowledge that yellow scorpions are far, far deadlier than the black ones. The black ones are pretty tame, you know? But those yellow ones… don't mess with the yellow ones. Nasty little buggers.”
And I'm sitting there in the back of the car, with a wry, exasperated smile plastered to my face, thinking to myself: Yup, just my lucky day, eh?
“The size of the scorpion, that matters too. You see, no one wants to mess with larger ones because they're so big, right? But the small ones, they need a way to survive, so they have a more potent venom to compensate…”
Strike two. Bloody hell.
“… and then there's the pincers, of course. Same story. If the pincers are big, no problemo. But if they're small, you can be damn sure that it's the venom packing the punch.”
Three for three! Lovely. Just... lovely.
We arrived at the infirmary, and there just so happened to be a doctor on the scene who was able to confirm that I’d survive the ordeal. A bit of local inflammation, yes, but there was no venom working it’s way through my body, and that with a good night’s sleep at the infirmary I should be just fine.
(My friends still tell me that I should’ve pretended that I was sick and played hooky for a few days. In retrospect, I’m not sure I disagree.)
So, all’s well that ends well, I guess. I felt extremely glad that no harm was done (well, except for the poor scorpion, but I wasn’t feeling so bad for him at the time), and that I was extraordinarily lucky to have escaped what could’ve been a lethal experience by a margin of half an inch…
… especially when it came to my attention a few weeks later that it was highly likely that the infirmary didn’t actually have the proper antidote at the time.
Gotta love the military sometimes.

Is the term "illegal immigrant" meant to apply to the person or the offense, similar to calling a convict a "murderer"? | Speaking of illegal immigrants…
Mark this video for giving us many examples of Democrats like Schumer, Pelosi, Reid, Feinstein, Bill Clinton and others, being against illegal immigration.
It also shows how the current Democrat Candidate (“bottom feeders”), Beto and Cory have knowingly, dishonestly, mischaracterized the President.
And the media helped pave the way for the assault on the presidency to continue by making sure you hated him.
That way, when the American sense of fair play kicked in, you would be easily able to ignore or override that impulse to take it easy on him after you’d finished bashing him like mad to begin with.
No. President Trump doesn't deserve your compassion.
He is teh debil.
What a fine lot you Democrats are. You and the dung heap of what they pretend to be journalists in the industry. Journalism was a predominately Democrat or Liberal industry. They depend on it being respected and healthy for their livelihood and they were trusted with the sacred honor and responsibility of helping Americans have quality information upon which they would make decisions about their own lives and this country.
But, they don't know what to do to keep the industry they rely on healthy.
They have soiled it and it is disrespected.
And that is the I dystry they should LOVE!
So what should we expect them to do when Ameru a’s gealth, rezoe t and well bei g is concerned?
They will despoil and destroy America just like they despoiled and destroyed their own industry.
Their Democrat run big cities.

What does a CEO of a start-up do? What does a typical day look like? What are their responsibilities? What do they do to grow their company every day? | Well, in my particular case, when I was CEO of our first startup, my partners had an aversion to cleaning the toilet, so I had to do that (and I don't mean "once", I mean for like 3 years). It kind of sucked.
Also the accounting, all purchasing, all sales, tech support, wrote all the documentation, real-estate rentals, supplier relationships, most customer visits, all international travel...
Hey! I had to do pretty well everything!
Well, except for the software architecture, coding, debugging, QA, release process, network management, product design...
Well, I guess my partners did quite a bit too, didn't they?
See, here's the thing: when you start something as as team, there is only one possible answer to the question "what does Team Member X Do" and that is
Whatever it takes.
True partners will understand this. That's why my partners and I have now been together for 32 years and counting.

What was trench warfare like in World War I? | Fortunately I am not telling you from first hand experience, but only from what I've read. Here is the short version:
Lots of rain and mudUncontrollable pestsFrequent bombardmentsUnrelenting exhaustion
The long version:
Trenches were 10 feet deep or so, reinforced with sandbags and other materials. They were not straight, but were zigzagged. This was so that, in the case of an enemy intrusion, they wouldn't be mown down standing in a line. There would several trenches parallel to each other, with communication lines connecting them. There would be dugouts throughout, and various outstretches for sentry posts. The front lines were usually around 200 yards apart from each other, but sometimes as close as a few yards.
The first horror to mention is the water and mud. Because many of the trenches (especially British) were dug in low-lying areas, the would hit water after just a few feet. Not only that, but the years of WWI were particularly rainy. Men would usually be up to their ankles in water and mud, not uncommon to be to their thighs, and on some occasions, as high as their necks. Trenches were constantly being re-dug and repaired from all the rain damage. Soldiers would be covered in mud from head to toe, in all orifices. Trench foot was a common ailment, sometimes resulting in amputations. Great coats would soak up the water, adding as much as 40 pounds to the overall wait. Movement in general was extremely exhausting and inhibiting.
The second to mention are the pests. Rats infested the trenches in numbers of tens of millions. They were notoriously bold as well, having no second thoughts to crawl over a soldiers face while he slept. They invaded food supplies at every chance, spreading disease. Worst of all, the feasted upon the many corpses in the trenches and in No Man's Land. They were described as so big and menacing, that they would eat a wounded man if he was defenseless. Lice was another problem. Men were constantly infested with lice of all varieties. Although delousing methods were employed, they were of little use. Eggs were always dispersed among the soldier's clothes, hatching under human body heat. Much disease was spread at the feet of these vermin.
Despite the horrific scenes described, there was still the whole war thing going on. Both sides were always struggling to gain an upper hand on the other. This was not a war of finesse, but of material. The result was usually massive bombardments on either side. The noise was described as particularly fearsome and hard to imagine. It was not just booms and whistles here and there, but a symphony of explosions and destruction. It was said to be so deep and powerful, that it was felt in the ears, not heard. It was almost tangible, a wall of sound you could touch. Not to mention was the close and helpless proximity to the assault. One soldier described it as being tied to a stake while someone swings a sledgehammer around.
In general, soldiers were just tired. There was rarely, if ever, a comfortable place to sleep. The amount of energy required just to move down the line pained and strained the body to levels few can identify with. The strain on the nerves was also very taxing, as was the constant smell of human excrement and decomposing corpses. Apparently, men's imaginations were worn down as well. The rustling of barbed wire or shadows in the darkness were constantly instilling paranoia in soldier's minds.
Overall, life in the trenches in supposedly the closest the Hell that anyone on Earth has ever gotten. Thats what they say at least.
Cheers.

If you led a group of Spartans what would be your strategy/tactic be against English longbow archers defending their castle walls? | Well, I would give the advantage to the Spartans here, I honestly don’t know if I would have to lead them, they are fairly good at improvisation.
You see, as shown in Halo 2, Master Chief is able to fit into an ODST Drop Pod.
Thus my group of Spartans could easily use this tactic to negate the effectiveness of the walls, and other static barriers.
I would probably equip them with battle rifles, as they will be very effective against the English longbow men. As a side arm I would definitely give them their Magnums. Though-while storming the interiors of the castle/keep, or the watch towers, I would equip them with their Caseless SMG’s, Assault Rifles, and of course-their greatly augmented strength.
For personal defense I would not worry too much. Depending on the generation of Spartan, a personal energy shield would be available. Not to mention their MJOLNIR power armor-I think they can afford to take a scratch of two from an arrow-or a side arm from the archers.
I would say this operation would have little to no causalities on my side-except for maybe myself-and anyone who may be caught up in an accident with their drop pod-and did not have time to lock their armor-especially if there is viscosity in the Gel Layer of their armor. RIP.
Though these English archers would probably surrender at these Towering men and women-who rain down from the heavens-showing themselves. Especially if some unlucky defenders were crushed by the Drop Pods.
Though-if you meant Spartan Rangers from the Metro series-then this answer will have to be reworked considerably!
Either way though ;3 the Defenders would have just cause to fear the future.

What are some little known benefits to leasing a vehicle rather than purchasing? | Do not underestimate maintenance costs that may come up during the life of your lease and the cost of exceeding your mileage. Especially true if you plan on driving > 30k miles over the lease. While those maintenance costs would be the same regardless of leasing or buying, you are essentially maintaining the car for the next owner. And maintenance costs typically increase for more expensive cars.
Here is my story:
Leased a 2015 Lexus RC350 F-Sport for 36-months and 30k miles. I have 10 months left on the lease.Major life change will cause me to turn the lease in with 50k miles, which will cause me $5,000 in excess mileageLexus charge over $300 for the 10k mile service. So that’s at least $1,200 over the life of the leaseThe car needs new front brakes after 26 months. $1,250The car needs 4 new tires after 40k miles. $1,200 (best price, not dealer price)Check engine light caused by “rodent damage to main wiring harness” causing $8,000 repair. Insurance company covers, net of my $1,000 deductible
Total expected maintenance: $4,650
Total expected mileage overage: $5,000
Total additional costs over lease payment: $9,650 equating to an extra $268/month over the lease
My takeway:
Only lease if you plan to drive < 40k miles, ideally < 30k milesPre-pay your miles i.e. pick a higher mileage limit if you are unsure (40% cheaper to pre-pay)Avoid leasing cars that have expensive consumables (brakes, tires)

Do British people wholeheartedly agree with Suella Braverman when she said “Boris Johnson is one of the greatest prime ministers ever”? | Some might say that.
Most would say he is an incompetent manchild who believes that he is above the law and shows nothing but contempt for the British people.
|
Why do some gun control opponents feel that the second amendment guarantees the right to own any type of gun whatsoever? | My guess, just off the cuff here. The people that wrote the constitution had literally just overthrown their government. Wanting citizens to retain that right in the future, I would assume they were allowing their citizens the weaponry to overthrow another repressive government.
Ergo, it is quite logical to believe, that they fully intended their citizens to be able to arm themselves with anything their government might throw at them.
I know those of you without clear knowledge of our history, or the logic to follow the path the founders may have taken considering said history, don’t want citizens to own anything more technologically advanced than was offered at the time. And hopefully, should our government decide to round you and yours up, for whatever reason, they only send law enforcement and military personnel with muskets to make your Rights have some meaning.

Are there any anime studios who work to make good content without trying to pump out half finished or unfinished anime? | Anime began as a vehicle to quickly bring to life a comic book-- it's original intent was not to look like Western animation, which was born as more of a novelty art form in itself.
Comic books have been around in Japan since as early as the Edo period I believe, so it was a natural step for them to embrace technology in a way to make it a different medium to consume the already familiar format of comic books. (Ghibli was kind of an exception from this, and there's a reason he's considered the “Disney” of Japan)
Most anime remain 12 frames a second and is produced quickly, because it's still at the end of the day a visual manga-- a vehicle for the story. (Although I'd argue a lot of anime has cared about visuals as well in the past, like Inu Yasha and some of the other classics.) However, with influence from Western animation, the whole spectrum seems to be changing a bit, and you see animes like Your Lie in April which are just plain gorgeous to watch. So, long answer short: I think it just depends on the studio and what they are trying to accomplish :)
Disclaimer: this knowledge/opinion is coming from one history of animation class I took in college once, and my memory may be spotty. If anyone has corrections please add them.

CNN reported that 1,000 US health experts have demanded that businesses not be allowed to reopen, but protestors should not be criticized for violating suggestions and increasing infection risks. Does science not matter anymore? | Science matters when it supports the “correct” political position. A lot of science has been corrupted into politics, now. It’s caused by a lot of things, chiefly the takeover of nearly all institutions by Leftist ideology (universities, where scientists train being a grand example), and gov funding of science. Gov funding is always political. Look at what happened to science in the Soviet Union for a more superficially obvious example.

Why did Hardik Patel not join the AAP? | Hardik Patel joined BJP, because of public opinion which is more towards the party. AAP is still a budding party and also not a democratic one. The writ of Kejriwal alone runs in the party. If he goes to AAP he has to hold bucket to Kejriwal. He probably wanted a political life where he can take independent decision based on the principles of the party he is in. Also if there is another person in the party who is more close to Kejriwal, Hardik may be dumped. No such fear is lurking in BJP.
Hardik also has been seeing that BJP opens up lot of opportunities. He can reach even the top level if he is capable enough. But the same is missing in AAP. He probably believes that he can become the tallest leader of Patels in BJP. But in AAP if he becomes such a leader, Kejriwal will immediately suspend him from the party. Kejriwal do not want any one who is more powerful than himself. After having weighed all these pros and cons, Hardik might have opted for BJP.

What does a CEO of a start-up do? What does a typical day look like? What are their responsibilities? What do they do to grow their company every day? | It’s different for every startup.
I am the CEO of a small tech company in Canada. We are self-funded, totally independent. And so our life is fairly easy and happy:
We have a productPeople want it and come to us for itWe enjoy delivering the productWe keep coming up with new ideas to make it betterWe ask them to pay us and they do
I’m glad the business is kind of simple in that way. I’m committed to a simple life, with easy processes that are enjoyable.
I’m not accepting investor money, and that has made my life very good. I still have enormous upside ($Ms) but I don’t have the extra risk and pressure. And I’m allowed to not focus on metrics for months at a time, which is great for innovation.
I rarely feel short on time. I am very slow making decisions.
Each day I try to plan one big task that is new and hard, and a few little tasks that are repetitive and easy:
The big task can be writing a grant proposal. Or writing a customer proposal or report. Or fixing a major bug. Or coding a new feature. Or completing a tax filing. Or preparing a talk for a customer or stakeholder. Or giving a talk. Or having a really good conversation with a stakeholder.The little tasks can be scheduling coffee with a customer. Having a catchup call with someone on the team. Sending a ping email to a contact. Or an update to a senior stakeholder. Or running payroll. Or updating my financial model. Or fixing a UI/IX problem in the code….etc
In between these things, I spend a lot of time alone, and thinking. I take my dog for 2 long walks a day, and the rest of my time he’s curled up on my lap.
I do a lot of errands for my wife. She has a career and a job that is very demanding, and ironically I’ve found that my business has freed me up to help her with her career. I cook most of our meals. I clean.
It’s nice. It’s also very calm.
I see a lot of startup CEOs are very hectic and stressed. They are pushy and needy. And just generally high-maintenance. They end up building companies that are also hectic and stressful and pushy and needy and high-maintenance.
As an entrepreneur, I see my internal state as a factor in all success. I try to stay always calm and balanced, and in sync with the business’ natural way of growing.
Most days I wake up and ask myself “What really matters today? What needs my focus?”
I like being alert to what each day offers.

What are some examples of arguments against the existence of an afterlife? | There are several arguments against the existence of an afterlife. Here are a few examples:
1. Lack of empirical evidence: Critics argue that there is no empirical evidence or scientific proof supporting the existence of an afterlife. Since the afterlife is often considered to be a realm beyond the physical world, it falls outside the scope of direct observation and measurement, making it difficult to provide empirical evidence for or against its existence.
2. Dependence on brain function: Skeptics suggest that consciousness and personal identity are intricately linked to brain function. According to this view, when the brain ceases to function at death, consciousness and personal experiences also come to an end, leaving no basis for an afterlife.
3. Inconsistencies among religious beliefs: Different cultures and religions have diverse and often contradictory beliefs about the afterlife. Critics argue that the wide range of beliefs and lack of consensus among religious traditions weaken the credibility of any specific afterlife claim. The existence of numerous conflicting accounts raises questions about the validity and objectivity of these beliefs.
4. Evolutionary and naturalistic explanations: From a naturalistic perspective, proponents argue that human beliefs in an afterlife may have evolved as psychological and sociocultural constructs. The concept of an afterlife could provide comfort, meaning, and moral guidance, contributing to the survival and cohesion of human societies.
5. Physicalist worldview: Some philosophical and scientific perspectives, such as philosophical materialism or physicalism, posit that everything, including consciousness and personal identity, can be explained by physical processes. From this viewpoint, there is no need to invoke supernatural or metaphysical explanations like an afterlife.
It's important to note that these arguments do not definitively disprove the existence of an afterlife. They represent different perspectives that challenge the notion of an afterlife based on empirical evidence, philosophical reasoning, and alternative explanations. The question of whether an afterlife exists or not remains a deeply personal and philosophical matter, often influenced by individual beliefs, cultural backgrounds, and religious or spiritual traditions.

What's your favourite British myth or legend? | I'll ignore the famous legends (Arthur, Robin, etc) and tell you of a couple of legends from places within twenty miles of my home.
First, the Boggart of Boggart Hole Clough.
Boggarts aren't an invention of J. K. R, but a legendary creature. Traditionally they lived in peat marshes (locally called "Mosses") eating those who wander off the few paths through their habitat, they are particularly fond of children (well they do tend to be more tender).
They did this for over a thousand years, until humans got their act together, digging out the peat for fuel and soil improvement, digging drains to lower the water table, making the paths and later roads through the mosses safer. Boggarts weren't the most social of beings and didn't co-operate the way humans could when faced with a threat, so slowly they were driven out of their homes, left to wander homeless until they finally died.
That is, except for a few individuals. One Boggart saw the writing on the wall, or rather the dropping water levels, and went looking for a new abode. One version of the story has it that the Boggart crossed paths with a priest who rather than cursing the creature on sight, gave it a choice, to either depart this Earth, or to become a helper to a farmer who lived on a rather poor piece of land known as a "clough" (pron' kluff). The Boggart took the offer and as long as the farmer respected it, the Boggart was a superb farmhand, protecting the farmer's flocks, churning the butter etc. If the farmer failed to respect or thank the Boggart, then the Boggart was allowed to play tricks on the farmer. Sometimes the farmer would deliberately not thank the Boggart, just to see what his helper would do this time.
Unfortunately, the farmer died and the farm was taken over by a Mr Bell who didn't know of the arrangement. Here's a poem from about that time, concerning what happened next:
Come listen to this merry tale of honest Farmer Bell
Who lived in an old farmhouse top of Moston Dell.
He was a farmer bold, I heard, who ever gripped a flail,
He had cows and horses, pigs and sheep, cheese and nut brown ale.
For years and years, time out of mind, a little mischievous elf
Made the ancient farmhouse his and there had lodged himself.
He ate the butter, drank the milk and sucked the new laid eggs,
Put the milk pails up the chimney and cracked the table legs.
The farmer’s shoes he filled with sand, often hath been said,
Put spiders in the buttermilk and cinders in the bread.
Now Farmer Bell he knew fine well, though goodness knew why,
The Boggart bore a grudge and drove him mad well nigh.
The doors they slammed, the timbers creaked, the very house did shake
And pots and pans flew round his head and on the floor did break.
Was more than flesh and blood could stand and so thought Farmer Bell,
I’ll run away, I will, and somewhere else will dwell.
I've stood it long enough I have, it matters not a whit,
Needs must when Boggarts hold the reins, I'll pack my things and flit.
I am a farmer bold and I will cheat this cunning elf,
I'll keep the secret of my plan and leave him to himself.
One morning farmer Bell put all his things up on the cart,
He locked the door and took the reins, and whispered, “Let us start.
We'll leave this Boggart here alone”. Without more ado,
"Thar't wrong", a voice came from the churn, "I'm flitten with you too!"
"Thou art not" the farmer cried, and turning to his men,
Said "Get those things down off the cart and in the house again.”
“Its just to get away from you”, poor Farmer Bell did sigh,
“What can’t be cured must be endured so here I’ll live and die!”
Poor Farmer Bell he passed away when he’d lived long enough
And now the place where he did dwell is called Boggart Hole Clough.
When Farmer Bell died, the farm was abandoned as uneconomic. There is now a 190 acre public park on the site, It's heavily wooded and rather eerie,
but as long as you show the Boggart some respect you are perfectly safe… probably.
Another local legend is that of the "screaming skull of Wardley Hall".
Wardley Hall is one of the few buildings mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and is now a grade 1 listed building which currently serves as the residence of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Salford.
There is no doubt that there is a skull there, and no doubt about its original owner, the Catholic priest, Father Ambrose Barlow who was hanged, drawn and quartered in 1641 for his faith. His head was impaled on a spike, but the owners of Wardley Hall, who were themselves Catholic, stole the head and hid it in the hall. It wasn't rediscovered until the mid 1700s when part of the hall was remodelled. A servant mistook the skull for that of an animal and threw it into the moat. That night, and for days afterwards, the area was hit by powerful storms which threatened to seriously damage the hall. The owner at that time, Matthew Moreton, had part of the moat drained and the skull recovered and placed back inside the hall. The storms abated within a day. Stories of attempts to burn or remove the skull resulting in massive storms continued for nearly a century, just insulting the skull would cause it to scream, but with the Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1829, and the hall becoming the residence of a Catholic Bishop, the skull seems to have mellowed. It was even stolen in 1930, but was returned shortly afterwards with the thief merely complaining of "bad luck" rather than of being struck by lightning.

If Thatcher is so hated, why did Sky News Australia say Britain became great under her and said they liked her? | But she is so hated - and also, she is so admired. She is the woman who deliberately crushed the rights of industrial workers - and also, she is the woman who saved democracy from over-mighty union bosses. She dragged us into a war over worthless rocks in the South Atlantic - and also, restored pride in British arms and saved the Falkland Islanders from a military dictatorship.
Same woman, same acts, different perspectives from people with different experiences and priorities.
Margaret Thatcher is arguably the single most polarising figure in post-war British history. A lot of people think she was Satan incarnate; a lot of people think she saved the country. A lot of both groups refuse to countenance any more nuanced interpretation than theirs; the ‘correct' response to her name has become a shibboleth - a tribal identification marker.
One result of that, of course, is that the people who hold these opinions hold them VERY LOUDLY!!! But [LINKED_TEXT: polling a couple of years back ] [URL: https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2019/05/03/margaret-thatcher-public-view-40-years]suggested a rather different overall picture, in which 39% thought her legacy was a good one and 31% bad - and those opinions range from grudging to fanatical approval/disapproval - while 30% thought it was neither. It's a mixed (hand)bag.
Sky News Australia is a Murdoch channel, and Murdoch channels take a generally right-wing view of most issues. Their viewers know that and like it that way. It's hardly surprising that they'd assess Thatcher's legacy entirely positively. Quite a lot of people do. Take a look at The Guardian and you'll get a very different take - which quite a lot of people also share.
Real life, as ever, is a bit more complicated than either.
But that's just my opinion.
Hey - if your opinion is different, why not write it as your own answer?

Why do people vape? | I smoked cigarettes for about 35 years, beginning in 1975. Over time, my consumption increased to the point that I was smoking about 30 cigarettes per day, a pack & a half. I wanted to quit for a couple of reasons: The price of my premium brand raised to $7/pack at the convenience stores, and I was experiencing disturbing symptoms…gurgling in my lungs when I lay down in bed, and shortness of breath.
In my pre-smoking youth, I was on my HS track team as a miler, and one of my favorite pass times was daylong bicycle rides. My record, on a one-speed Sears tank, was 125 miles between sunrise and a bit after dark.
I was convinced I would smoke until some related illness took me out, I could not conceive of quitting as even being a possibility. But, a co-worker received a cigalike as a Christmas present in 2009, which intrigued me. Within a few weeks, I’d ordered and received my first cigalike, it was January 10, 2010. The things were HORRIBLE! But, I knew it was going to change my life. I was right.
Over the decade of the 2010s, the technology rapidly improved. But, in the beginning, I spent thousands of dollars buying all kinds of crap that didn’t work for me. Eventually, the tech caught up and there were workable devices available. I haven’t bought any hardware in years, once I found a system that worked for me I stocked up for the rest of my life (I’m 69 today). No interest in chasing the latest boutique devices, I’m settled.
For the past 4+ years, I’ve been using primarily unflavored eLiquid: Propylene glycol and nicotine. Flavorings add safety question marks and cost a LOT more money.
Once I quit smoking, my lung capacity improved rapidly! I’ve had two doctors tell me that it’s almost like I’d never smoked. If you stop tormenting your lungs, they heal rapidly. You also learn that your senses of taste and smell quickly return.
Within only a few weeks of switching, I found I no longer had any interest in smoking. The fact is, I hadn’t planned to quit. It was almost accidental, I had a half dozen cartons of cigarettes on hand. I’d been buying from Ukraine, to save money. I sold one carton dirt cheap to a co-worker, and then literally threw 4–5 cartons in the garbage! No interest in smoking. I bought the first one as a curiosity only. I’m kinda a gadget freak.
Vaping has at the very least extended my life. If I’d continued consuming a carton per week, I doubt I’d be alive today.
I’ve never used a Juul or any of the other convenience store crap. Yes, I still consume nicotine, but that is an optional component of eLiquid. I mix my own (lots cheaper).
I’m mystified that the primary health organizations refuse to endorse the most effective smoking cessation aid ever devised, but rather demonize it.
I absolutely do not condone non-nicotine addicts, non-smokers, to take up vaping. I don’t believe any cigarette addict thought they’d become addicted. But millions do.
No reasonable person claims it’s without risk. But it’s a greatly reduced risk over habitually inhaling SMOKE. Nicotine isn’t the big killer, it’s the smoke, and vaping produces no smoke.

What do you think about Joe Biden’s plan to create new manufacturing jobs and boost American production? He announced this plan today in Michigan. | Joe lives in a fantasy land.

Aren’t you upset seeing a tattoo all over Jungkook’s arm? | I get upset about injustice in the world. About starving people, homeless people, racism, homophobia, sexism, gun violence, companies exploiting workers, child abuse, domestic abuse, global warming and over-exploitation of natural resources, poor handling of the pandemic, pink tax, armed conflicts, the list is long and this is not even half of it.
What I am not upset about is what a 23-year-old man chose to tattoo on his arm. Whatever the tattoo is, whether I like it or not, it is his way of expressing himself. On his own skin.
If you’re upset about Junkook’s tattoo’s, maybe you should take a moment and think why you’re so affected by it?
Do you dislike the spontaneity of his decision?Maybe in your culture or environment tattoos are frowned upon so you’re unsettled by seeing a man you admire get a whole sleeve?Do you subconsciously feel like you have some claim to this man and his body?Maybe you think that the tattoo is ugly and he will regret it in the future?Do you think that this behaviour is reflective of some bigger changes in his life like it’s a departure from the old Jungkook you’re used to?
Now, take a deep breath and repeat this to yourself:
Jungkook is a 23-year-old Korean man.
He is an adult.
I have no claim to his body or mind.
I am a fan.
You don't have to love his tattoos, but respect and understanding boundaries go a long way.

Why was the British Empire able to become so big/powerful when the UK is so small? What are some of the main factors that allowed the Empire to become so vast? | Technology played a huge part in the building of the British Empire, through the 18th 19th & early 20th centuries Great Britain was at its Peak, it was one of the most progressive countries in the little that wasn’t Invented & Built here was brought in & seamlessly folded in, British forces were excellent they knew their job & they were fucking amazing at what they did, they chose what they wanted, & simply did what they always did, take it, is that the done thing, not today no, but then if it wasn’t them it Would be someone else, that was how it was, when they took India it was a tangled mess of cruel & vitious warlords that didn’t give a shit about their people, the British may have taken India but it wasn’t an India that you would recognise, it had absofuckinglutly notthingwhatsofuckingever, the British brought trains, infrastructure & peace, they created an army of Indians, the everyday running of the country was given to the educated Indians, Education was brought to the masses by the British, schools were very few & so very far between only the elite could afford them, the British changed that, they brought trains to span the length & bredth of the country, getting across the country no longer took weeks, even the poor could afford the train, so the Indians were running the army, the daily life of the country & they had transport they could never of imagined, why would they want to revolt, life was better, easier & a lot safer under the British, & that’s how it was with most countries, these people turn up, get rid of your tormentors, make life easier for you, they train you to be a soldier & you can even cross the country that used to take weeks to do in a couple of days to visit your mum, ain’t life fucking sweet. I am however sorry to say but some parts of India have never really moved on from that, not to blame the Indian people but those Corrupt Bastards that are running the country & lining their pockets, it’s only in recent years they have given them proper toilets, they can have a Space Program while people had to shit in the street, what kind of fucking leaders of a nation do that? they need to do a whole lot fucking more for the people they are Supposed to be running the country for.

Can stress damage your brain? | Jarid Goodman, Mark Packard, and James McGaugh, neuroscience researchers, note that negative stress overwhelms normal executive processes by reallocating learning and memory processing to implicit brain regions such as corticostriatal and amygdala processing areas. These areas are involved in “response” learning. When one relies on these structures for learning, one’s capacity for contextual learning, i. e. the ability for analyzing situations and for seeing the bigger picture, becomes restricted and limited in scope. In addition activation of the amygdala sends neural signaling to hypothalamus for stress related neurohormone secretion including adrenal catecholamine and cortisol secretion, which can later become chronic and enduring with repeated stress. The latter affects all bodily systems, over time.

My manager said she is not able to keep my position anymore but asks me for a resignation letter. Am I fired, or did I quit? | The only option is to resign from your position and retain that reputation and integrity that was built over the years. However, you’re not fired but avail yourself of that opportunity to do the right thing and quit instead of being fired through termination of employment.

Is there anything about the Kobe Bryant helicopter crash that just doesn’t add up? | Since we don’t know exactly what happened and won’t until the NTSB accident comes out, we can’t draw a definitive conclusion on all this.
|
If there are big cats, why are there no big dogs? | While there are no dogs that reach the same size as the largest big cats, such as tigers and lions, there are still some dog breeds that can reach a considerable size. For example, Great Danes can weigh up to 200 pounds (90 kg) and stand over 3 feet (91 cm) tall at the shoulder, making them one of the tallest dog breeds. Similarly, the English Mastiff is also a very large breed that can weigh up to 220 pounds (100 kg) or more.
However, one of the reasons that there are no dogs that reach the same size as the largest big cats is that dogs have been selectively bred by humans for thousands of years to serve various purposes, such as hunting, guarding, and herding. This has led to the development of many different dog breeds with different shapes, sizes, and temperaments.

My manager said she is not able to keep my position anymore but asks me for a resignation letter. Am I fired, or did I quit? | Start looking for another job.

What's it like to have a 150 IQ? Is life easier? What are the advantages you feel you have over others? Are there any disadvantages? | I’ve been tested as 151 IQ. And you know what? I wish I were less intelligent, because life gets boring.
You find yourself thinking all the time, about the most stupid things. Guess what happened, I’m an addict. Alcohol makes life more fun because I think less, I only drink on weekends but I’m pretty sure I qualify.
I’m 20 so I still have some time to burn. Being intelligent is a gift and a curse at the same time.

Why do gamers buy expensive keyboards? | I have been playing video games since before 2008 on console and switched to PC sometime in 2012.
My PC rig started with a POS computer from Best Buy that my parents got years ago. Paired with a single “HD” monitor and a blue tooth keyboard and mouse combo. The mouse would at times freeze and stop working. I would have to wait and give it a second to catch up. You can see how this is bad you go to turn around to shoot someone and your mouse is frozen.
The keyboard would do what is called “ghosting” it happens when multiple keys are pressed at the same time but the keys aren’t registered. I think you can see how this can be annoying especially in games where there is a focus on driving such as World of Tanks. Where you need to drive up quickly to a corner and stop. If your keyboard ghosts and doesn’t register you pressing the stop key, you will end up driving in to the middle of an intersection and get shot in the side and killed.
A big selling point of gaming keyboards and mice is that they have anti-ghosting systems and features. They also have a reduced latency.
Latency is the measurement of the time it takes the keyboard to register a input from the user and tell the computer about the input. This can be the difference between stealing that kill in your favorite FPS or getting killed because you clicked a millisecond to late.

What is the best love story people can come up with in two sentences? | True Story: Read till the end.
It was his first year in MBBS college and his eyes caught her.
But hold on she is his senior! Damn!
He was so confident that he took 5 years to talk to her.
No,even after 5 years he didn't express his feelings with her.
But somehow he gathered some courage to express his feelings with the Girl's best friend on Facebook. He wrote a big note pristine heartedly. He wrote how and when all this started and how he sees this for future. When her friend showed her the letter. She was impressed but she was never interested in all these things. So it was an indirect no.
Boy didn't leave hope . In the 2nd year of his PG he again approached her indirectly. This time girl said that don't come to me, instead approach my family. That would be much better.
Boy already shared his feelings with his family and they were ready.
Meeting Fixed between 2 families:
(They were given 15 minutes to talk and decide).
Girl: I want to ask you 2 questions. And my yes depends upon them.
Boy: Yes please.
Girl: I don't want to marry for 3 more years because I want to support my family financially.
Boy: Done. Next please.
Girl: Even after marriage I won't stop helping my family financially till my younger brother gets into his field.
Boy: No.
Girl: Then I am sorry we can't make it.
Boy: Hold on I mean, not only you, we both will support your family together. They are my family too. I just want you to be with me.
Girl: *smiles & blushes, she was impressed * says, “ its a yes”.
So this love story started from both the sides with just this sweet and serious conversation of theirs.
“In this case, time was not important for that girl, what she wanted was an honest commitment from him and that's what she got”
It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know that it has begun.
Thanks.
Stay salubrious.

How can white noise contain the least information, and highly losslessly-compressed data contain the most, while externally appearing the same signal type? | Other answers are correct but “complicated”. Here’s an easy way to think about it: if, in the compressed data stream, you can hear (or otherwise detect) any sort of pattern — a tone, or tones, or pulses, or whatnot — that is something that could removed to improve the compression ratio even more. The more the stream appears completely random (e.g. like white noise) the better the compression.

Why would anyone need a gun with more than 10 rounds for concealed carry? | Ever heard of the “stand off guy”? At least 40 percent of armed robberies have 2 or more assailants. Some stay non-committed to see who the hero is, then assassinate them if they can.
Being in a gunfight is not like being on the range. Rounds go astray because your heart rate is at 160 BPM almost instantly and all that sight alightment, trigger squeeze, breathing et cetera goes right out the window.
Especially if you are taking incoming rounds. Then you start trying to suppress the other guy.
In short, ammo goes quick.
|
Do people in the United States actually believe that gun reform will cause them to lose their right to own a weapon? | You see this country was the 1st and only experiment in self government to my knowledge where the right to free speech and the right bear arms are constitutionally protected as God given rights. The founders of this country were all very intelligent brave men. The reason the right to bear arms is the 2nd ammendment is because the founders knew that was the only way to guarantee the rights put forth in the 1st ammendment (as well as the rest) couldn't be trampled on by a tyrannical government. There were wise men who'd just fought a war for independence from a tyrannical king who said things like “those who give up essential liberties to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Essentially what this means is if you're willing to give up your civil liberties or freedoms for safety you deserve neither and that's exactly what you'll wind up with, neither.

([LINKED_TEXT: http://elearninfo247.com/] [URL: http://elearninfo247.com/])As many have mentioned, his lists and reviews are really good and give you a way of narrowing down on the good ones.However, many of them are indeed focused on classroom learning.Aduro, on the other hand, is very strong in full online mode and includes a course catalogue portal, e-commerce engine, TIN CAN and SCORM compliance, etc., all offered in a SaaS model.If you are interested, have a look: [LINKED_TEXT: http://adurolms.com/] [URL: http://adurolms.com/]

Can we defeat Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle by having one person measure the particle's position, while another one measures its momentum, but the two people don't talk to each other, but give their results to a third party? | You're not the first to consider some possible work around for the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The famous paper of Einstein, Padolsky and Rosen considered entanglement as the mechanism that could achieve just that, by measuring the two properties using each of two entangled particles. This was meant to highlight an inconsistency with quantum mechanics, but instead actually revealed how quantum mechanics is different from classical reality.
When you're just looking at one particle, there is no way around the HUP. The simple act of measurement actually changes the quantum state of the particle to reflect the measurement. Unfortunately that change is simply incompatible with the other measurement. For example, if you make a precise position measurement, the momentum of the particle becomes undefined. Similarly, a precise momentum measurement will correspond to an undefined position.
You can actually see this easily enough in practice in real life in common optics. The HUP is completely analogous to diffraction and imaging in optics. That's because the properties of the HUP are described by the mathematics of the Fourier transform, which is a ubiquitous mathematical technique used throughout optics and radio engineering.
You may have heard of or actually built a pin hole camera. That works on exactly the same principle as the HUP. It's called a diffractive lens. The pinhole effectively performs a position measurement on the incoming light. The image that is formed on the film is simply those positions arranged on the screen. It's usually simpler to just do a bit of ray tracing to see how the pinhole camera works, but it's just equivalent to the Fourier transform/HUP treatment.
Edit: The pinhole actually performs an effective momentum measurement of the incoming light field. Those momenta are transformed into positions at the screen. The image is only formed once you are far enough from the pinhole. This is called the far field. The near field (pin hole) and far field (image) are related by the Fourier transform. The pin hole serves as a momentum filter simply by requiring the light from any distant object travel in a well-defined direction to pass through the hole. This direction, or wavevector, is equivalent to momentum. This is why ray tracing works to explain the pinhole camera. Therefore a momentum measurement at the pinhole is transformed into a position measurement (image) at the screen. The HUP is thus equivalent to stating that the pinhole and the image can't be at the same place.
Because I'm short sighted, I would often make a small aperture with my fingers to correct my vision. It works remarkably well.
With optics you can see why you can't make two measurements of the same particle. It is related to there being different optical planes. One plane is the imaging plane, which is akin to the position measurement. The other plane is called the Fourier transform plane, and it corresponds to well-defined momentum measurements. The problem is that these two planes cannot co-exist. For example, when the image plane is at the focal point, the Fourier transform plane is at the lens (object at infinity). But when we bring the object to the focal point, the image plane is now retreats to infinity.

What is the most ridiculous “allergy” or “dietary requirements” a customer has claimed to have while ordering food? | Interesting that the OP who asked the question is remaining anonymous.
I hope that you aren’t in the food business. If you don’t take a food allergy or a religious dietary requirement seriously, I doubt that you will be in that business for very long.
Kill a person or put them in the hospital for a while? Make sure that your insurance is up to date and that you have a good attorney! I am not saying this to be rude. I am saying this because I’ve been highly allergic to most fish since birth, and became allergic to shellfish in my early 30’s.
People have actually died from ingesting things that contained peanuts that they weren’t aware contained them. A prize-winning restaurant in Providence altered its recipe after the student died. I recommend that if you are a chef, you keep your recipe book/files on hand. What doesn’t kill you or make you sick may kill someone else or make them sick!

What is the most shocking substitution in a football match? | THE SUBSTITUTION:Krul comes on for Cillessen in the 121st minute much to the latter's surprise. So why does van Gaal do this?
THE DECISIONPlanned in advance:This was not a decision that Louis van Gaal took in the last minute. It was something that was well planned out from before. Tim Krul was prepped by the goal keeping coach and was told that if the situation arose, he would have to take the place between the posts during the shootout. van Gaal hid this plan from Cillessen so that it would not damage his confidence or affect his game.
CILLESSEN
Cillessen was clearly unhappy about being substituted. He probably felt he wasn't believed in or was not a big fan of the fact that he wasn't informed in advance.
However, he was seen passionately celebrating each Dutch penalty and also the saves that Krul made. He hopefully understood the genius behind the change. van Gaal made it a point to dispel any rumors of a change in the number one keeper for the rest of the tournament, claiming Cillessen remains his number one choice.
THE ADVANTAGESRendered any prior Costa Rican preparation uselessIf the Costa Ricans had prepared for penalties, they would have studied Cillessen and his motions. However, in walked this other guy whom they did not research at all.
He's very confident and is mouthing taunts at them. They have no idea who he is nor have they studied his motions. Also, it may have helped that Costa Rica had its previous game go to penalties. He probably observed how they approached that shootout.
Surprise, bit**!When you are so surprised at such a critical stage of an important match, you feel outwitted. It's like preparing all night for one proof of a theorem or a topic for an examination because you are a 100% sure that it will be asked and then you find a 100 mark question on something you didn't study for at all. Even though you may still get it, your confidence is not high at all.
DeceptionKrul is not a specialist at saving penalties. A record of 2 saves out of 20 is not the sign of a penalty specialist. But did the Costa Ricans know that? He sure looks like a penalty expert for all they know. Why would van Gaal bring him on otherwise? Clearly, a psychological decision and not a tactical one.
Pressure and attention off his playersThis was THE MOST IMPORTANT reason as far as I'm concerned. As soon as van Gaal made the change, all the attention deflected from the kick takers to the decision he made. If Netherlands, who have a horrible record at penalty shootouts, had indeed lost, he would have been blamed for a ludicrous decision. No one expected anything from Tim Krul either. Thus, it was a sacrificial move, showing that he was ready to take the heat in case something went wrong.
Penalty shootouts are won and lost very easily. It's about handling your nerves well. When the pressure was off the Dutch kick takers, their experience came to the fore. He sent his four most experienced kick takers (with Huntelaar probably in line to take the fifth) to ensure nervousness would play no role in the result of a spot kick.
And then, something amazing happened.
Four perfect penalties.
Even the goalkeeper, Keylor Navas, who had such an amazing tournament and game and should have been coming into the shootout with great confidence, would have been slightly shaken by the sudden presence of the chatty Krul.
The Dutch keeper dives the right way each time (5 out 5, saving two of them) after taunting the opposing kick takers into making mistakes. (His first save wasn't really extraordinary or anything.) This is probably the result of his studies of the kick takers from the previous shootout that Costa Rica took part in. The players may have had conflicts about whether they should stick to what worked for them last time or if they should do something fancy to beat this "penalty expert," whose job was just to apparently find out which way they were going to go.
Netherlands in the last four.

What does Galatians 2:21 mean? | Galatians 2:21—I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained by the law, Christ died for nothing.”
To Christians this verse would mean that Paul is saying that he’s not refusing to rely on God’s grace (help) and relying on the following of church rules to become a good person. He feels that if he did this, then Christ’s sacrificial death would have been wasted. This idea would be similar to Jesus Christ’s dislike of the Pharisees who were all about rules.

Have scientists ever made use of a Higgs boson’s ability to give other particles their properties? | The Higgs boson has no ability to give other particles their properties.
The Higgs mechanism is the mechanism by which some particles are endowed with rest mass in the Standard Model of particle physics.
The essence of the Higgs mechanism is spontaneous symmetry breaking. The idea is that the Higgs field is unlike any other field: its lowest energy state does not coincide with the state when the field is free of excitations. This means that the original, high energy vacuum of the early universe can decay and achieve a lower energy state, the “true” vacuum, by creating excitations in the Higgs field. This has two specific consequences. First, the process breaks the internal symmetry of the mediating particles of the electroweak (unified electromagnetic+weak) interaction, and three out of four of these particles become very massive as a result. (The one that remains massless is the photon.) Second, charged fermions, which used to interact with the Higgs field before symmetry breaking, now interact with the field’s so-called vacuum expectation value, which is nonzero. That is to say, for all practical intents and purposes, particles like electrons and quarks now interact with the vacuum itself, which is equivalent to having mass. So these particles become massive, too.
And in this “true” vacuum, the Higgs field behaves differently. It still has short-lived excitations, which we see as short-lived particles: Higgs-bosons. These particles are very massive and decay almost immediately.
This convoluted picture allows us to “have our cake and eat it, too”. A theory that starts with massive fermions or massive vector bosons is mathematically ill-behaved. A theory in which these particles are massless can be made well-behaved (“renormalizable”) but we know from observation that particles like electrons do have mass. The Standard Model begins with a theory of massless particles, hence it is renormalizable; yet symmetry breaking then gives us the observed spectrum of massive particles.
But beyond these theoretical achievements, this is not something that we can “make use” of. Or rather, we’re making use of it all the time, simply by existing: Electroweak symmetry breaking results in the world around us, with all its low-energy physics and chemistry that makes our existence possible.
We can (briefly) replicate conditions before symmetry breaking in high-energy particle experiments, which allow us to study the properties of these particles and the mechanism of symmetry breaking, and understand Nature a little better. Perhaps one day, these experiments may even have direct practical applications. But for now, we are simply building knowledge, not unlike physicists a century ago who were building knowledge that back then had very little use, but nowadays forms the basis of many things, including the semiconductor industry or high-tech medicine.

What are some tips for writing your PhD thesis? | Write, rewrite, follow every “suggestion” by your committee, write some more, rewrite some more, give up all shame and dignity and any hope you had of making a personal statement in your thesis, and get the damned thing done and signed off upon. If you don’t do that, you will forever be known as a ABD. A wannabee who completed “all but dissertation” and will never earn a doctorate.

How do you perform a Laplace Transform, if you have not yet taken Calculus (please work problems from scratch, explain the calculus as if I'dhad never calculated derivatives before) Purpose is to help a student leapfrog from Algebra to applied Calc? | If you have not yet taken calculus, really the best you can do is go to a table like you’d find at [LINKED_TEXT: List of Laplace transforms - Wikipedia] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Laplace_transforms] and blindly apply them.
But unless you know why you’d want a Laplace transform, performing them is just a parlor trick. And if you need to have the calculus explained as if you had never calculated derivatives, then you don’t know why you’d want them.
Laplace transforms are used to simplify solving complex differential equations. They convert differential equations into algebraic equations, which are easier to solve, then an “inverse Laplace transform” converts the solved algebraic equations into solutions to the original differential equations.
If you (or your student) doesn’t know how to take derivatives doesn’t know how to calculate integrals, then they don’t know how to solve differential equations. They don’t need Laplace transforms.

What are N95 masks normally used for? | A N95 or N99 mask consists of dense filters and will help filter out 95-99% of particles from entering your mouth, only if you ensure a sealed fit around your nose and mouth!
Masks can be counted as an important preventive measure especially when you are around infected people or having a flu yourself. It keeps you from touching your mouth and nose, which are basically good entry points for germs to get in and make you sick.
Even though wearing masks inside your homes is a good practice, it is not very practical. How can you ensure your homes spell out good health?

How do I talk like a native English speaker? | If you come from some English speaking background you should learn UK variant of the language.
If English isn't your native language I would say that the key is to read and think!
Read books (tech ones, Harry Potter or whatever).
And think everything in English! “now I'll eat some pasta and plan my walk in Park”, “who the he'll bangs on door this early” etc. And count your coins or so also in English.
You can also consider the possibility to speak English with your native friends — they may have benefit from trying. Maybe one day a week.
Reading dictionaries is also very beneficial. You will find that the description of one word contains new words and phrases to learn.

Hi-points are perfect for keeping in your tackle box wrapped in fish guts when you need a gun that if it fell in the lake it wouldn’t be a great loss. Glocks are great service pistols made to withstand all the bumps and abuse of daily carry and go bang every time the trigger is pulled.

Is false surrendering a war crime? Has this tactic ever been used in war? | It’s called perfidy and yes it’s a war crime. It was used several times in the Second World War by the Imperial Japanese. An example was how a Japanese unit waved a white flag during the Battle of Guadalcanal. US troops went to pick them up, and the Japanese attempted to bayonet them.

What is the difference between Angular and AngularJS? | AngularJS and Angular are fundamentally different from one another since AngularJS is built on JavaScript and Angular is built on TypeScript. These two front-end, open-source frameworks for building SPAs and dynamic web applications share a number of characteristics.
The key differences between AngularJS and Angular are listed below.
Architecture
MVC, or Model View Controller Design, is how AngularJS operates. Here, View displays the data from the model while the controller does data processing.
Components and directives are used by Angular. Component in this case is a directive with a template.
Efficiency and Speed and power
The manufacturing process is eventually made less time- and labor-intensive thanks to Angular JS's two-way binding capability.
Angular: The revised framework now has a better structure, which improves performance and speed.
Management
Due to the growing amount of the source code, managing the AngularJS project is challenging.
In [LINKED_TEXT: Angular Development] [URL: https://www.binstellar.com/angular-development.html] the code for larger applications written in Angular is easier to write, manage, and better structured.
Dependency Injection
AngularJS- There is no use of DI.
A hierarchical DI method is used in Angular.
Routing
Due to its component-based architecture, Angular includes an integrated Angular router when comparing AngularJS to Angular. As a result, the components operate independently without the need for a global router and maintain their own sub-routes. On the other side, AngularJS offers native routing that is established via controllers from template to URL routes. Due to its method of imitating a directive for retrieving the client view by using URLs, Angular prevails in this AngularJS vs. Angular contest.
