You just copy pasted some info you took from different sites and made it as your own question on musing which is not OK, in my opinion. I see the you have a nice payout also for your thread so whoever upvoted you, if it was musing or not, just upvote plagiarism. I would advice you to create your own threads instead of copy pasting info from internet and address them as your questions. Here are two places where you can find the info from your question: 1. https://brainly.in/question/3919893 Which seems to be also a a copy paste info from the next source that I will give which is an article from The Guardian. 2.https://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/sep/01/20-big-questions-in-science. In this article if you go to question number six that has the name "Why do we dream?" you will find the information that you just copy pasted and introduced in your question which is exactly this: " We spend around a third of our lives sleeping. Considering how much time we spend doing it, you might think we’d know everything about it. But scientists are still searching for a complete explanation of why we sleep and dream. Subscribers to Sigmund Freud’s views believed dreams were expressions of unfulfilled wishes – often sexual – while others wonder whether dreams are anything but the random firings of a sleeping brain. Animal studies and advances in brain imaging have led us to a more complex understanding that suggests dreaming could play a role in memory, learning and emotions. "
If you would have copied the following phrase also that states " Rats, for example, have been shown to replay their waking experiences in dreams, apparently helping them to solve complex tasks such as navigating mazes. " you would have copied the whole answer from an article from The Guardian and present it in musing-io as your own personal question. I don't know if you are aware or not, but plagiarized content and presented as your own is generally flagged on Steem. In musing-io I see you git an upvote, but be careful. The situation might change.
No. Life cannot be quantified with a formula. This is because there are too many variables to be considered and the way human beings are, the smallest thing can cause a massive change in attitude or behaviour. Plus humans are most of the time, distinctly different from one another. So this means that if you did some how manage to make a formula that quantifies life, it wouldn't be applicable to every single person.
The three new iPhones that came out, the iPhone Xr, iPhone Xs and the iPhone Xs max are all top tier flagship phones and deciding which one will be a consumer favourite is quite difficult. I think everything will boil down to personal preference and the price so I'll look at it from both aspects.
1. Price: In terms of price, I'd like to think that the Xr will be the more sought after device, even though 750 dollars isn't cheap, it gives people the typical iPhone experience for a fraction of the other iPhone prices. The draw backs of the phone are that it uses a HD plus IPS LCD display which is a bit of a downgrade from the iPhone X which has a full HD amoled screen. Apart from that and the fact that it doesn't have a dual rear camera(nobody's going to notice the difference) and it has larger bezels, it's pretty much on par with the other new iPhones. I think from a price point of view this will be the one to get.
2. Personal preference: Well in terms of personal preference we have to look at the three smartphones separately. The iPhone Xs will be for people who probably enjoyed their experience on the iPhone X and are looking to upgrade to a new iPhone within the same price range. I don't think that this will be the most purchased iPhone out of the three, it's basically the iPhone X with an 's' attached to it. The Xs max on the other hand is a natural competitor for the Samsung galaxy note 9 and it will probably appeal to people who have large hands or like large phones in general. Its got the biggest battery ever found on an iPhone(which is tiny compared to other smartphone brands), and the screen is a whopping 6.5" the largest ever on an iPhone. It's also got the largest storage option, so it's most definitely for people who would want a note 9 level space on an iPhone. Its price is the biggest hinderance to its sales because 1100-1400 dollars isn't for the faint of heart. The iPhone Xr on the other hand is cheaper and comes in multiple colours. Alot of people will probably prefer to spend less to get an iPhone seeing as there's not much difference between the old ones and the new ones, it may sport an LCD display but iPhone users are already used to that.
I strongly believe that even when it comes to personal preference the iPhone Xr will still be the consumer favourite. So overall, the iPhone Xr in my opinion, will be the consumer favourite.
It's great to finally see a real biology question here on Musing, so let me try to explain it as simple as possible. I am not a molecular biologist, but I learned a lot about this during my education, so hopefully I will be able to make it understandable.
The CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) genes are originally found in bacteria and archaea (these are pretty much just ancient version of bacteria) where they function to prevent the genetic material from getting damaged by forign viral and other invading genetic material.
What the CRISPR and CRISPR-associated (Cas) genes do is that they attach right in front of, and directly after, where the foreign genetic material has been injected on the DNA strand. And then it pretty much just cut the foreign genetic material away from the strand, and it will no longer be part of the genetic material during the next copy.
This was pretty much the extremely short version, and there's a lot of information available if you want to dive deeper into this.
Anyway, CRISPR/Cas9 is also a tool for genetic editing, and it boild down to a lot of the same processes as its original form. By using a guiding RNA (gRNA) molecule, scientists can guide the CRISPR/Cas9 genes to attach to wherever they want in the genetic material of an organism, and then use this to perform a deletion of this genetic material. This is a very quick and easy way of deactivating a gene, since most genes will stop functioning once a part of it is removed.
A modified version of this gene is also able to insert genetic material where the Cas9 gene attaches, which allows for even more advanged genetic editing. To keep this part very simple, the scientists pretty much just injects genetic material into the DNA strand after the original material has been removed, but before enzymes have been able to reattach the strands.
CRISPR/Cas9 is pretty complex, and there are thousands of details that we haven't look at in this post. There's even entire books written about this tool, so there are a lot of resources avilable at libraries if you want to learn more about it.
Thanks for such a great explanation valth! This should be heavily regulated because what happens when the genetic freaks take over? The regular, unedited kids will stand no chance. Genetic freaks will take over sports, science, business and quite possibly, everything else.
Sounds like another unfair advantage the rich will have against all over the world.
I agree with the idea of having it very heavily regulated, but right now it simply isn't. For some reason no one wants to discuss and figure out rules for this yet, but I'm sure we will have to do that in the future once we start seeing some "crazier" results.
We're not quite at the point where we can really genetically engineer humans or big animals yet, but we're able to do it with small invertebrates, bacteria and other small organisms. But it's only a matter of time before we have the knowledge needed to modify bigger organisms. (The reason behind this boils down to the length and complexity of the DNA in the organisms; shorter DNA is obviously a lot easier to research, understand, and modify).
This is a New Era in Molecular Biology. When you are looking for a precise, targeted changes to the genome of living cells the most efficient and reliable way is called crispr genome editing.
CRISPR on its own is a family of DNA sequences in bacteria and archaea
Mathematics is a simply a rational science. When you look and study mathematics you will agree that it either pure which is theortical or an applied. The applied part of mathematics make it to be called a science. There are many interconnected nature of various sciences, logics and some programming which all can be traced down to mathematical technique. There are hypothesis that needs to be proven before it can be approved. Also there are experiments and predictions, which make mathematics complicated and with serious effort and verification result is guarantee at the end.
Discovery is different from invention, because discovery is something that's naturally existing but unknown, then was later found out as a result of man's research.
But invention is something that's non existence before but actually created and carved out by the genuiuity of man.
In other words mathematics was invented by man, one of earliest mathematicians was abacus he invented the first sophisticated counting and calculating algorithm.
People like Pythagoras too invented the relationship between the length of a triangle.
In other words these are all invented so mathematics is invented not discovered
It does not. What makes a man/woman mature is not the longivity of their life but how their personalty are mold. You can live a hundred years but don't have the proper mindset.
Even a 10-year old girl makes herself mature given life experience and having the proper attitude of mindset of everything. Maturity comes from the mind and heart, not from the length of living. As I mentioned, you can have a lot of experience in love but still don't have the right attitude and mindset, you can never be mature.
I don't think maturity has anything to do with age, granted alot of people that are old are matured but there are equally alot of young people that are quite matured as well.
Let me put it this way, maturity is a function of how sensible you are as a person, for old people being sensible stems from a life time of experiences which include ups and downs, successes and mistakes. As people get older they tend to get more matured because of all the things they've seen in life but this doesn't mean that this holds true for everyone.
I've met alot of old people who are just as childish as they were when they were younger, they haven't learned anything at all over the years. People like that are living proof that maturity doesn't necessarily come with old age.
I also have friends who have amazed me with the level of maturity that they've displayed oflver the years and most of them aren't even up to 30. Becoming mature is a decision you have to make on your own, you can either continue being ignorant or you can wisen up.
Age doesn't necessarily make one mature, but experience is what makes you one mature to some extent, however in a few cases age can bring experience which makes one mature.
Nevertheless one can be very young and yet have so many life experience which can bring about maturity.
In a nutshell age doesn't connote maturity, However it definitely can bring experience which can Iin turn mean maturity but not in all cases
No. Age is just a number. What does make you mature though, is the things you have been through in life. How you dealth with the hard times and what you learned from them. How many mistakes you made, that shaped the person you are now. Times that you fell on the ground, but stood up. . Did you crumble under the pressure of life, or did you come out as a hero?
Those are the kind of things that make one more mature. Life experiences. Lessons learned.
That said, I've met people throughout my life that were much more mature than their age would suggest and in my experience they were one of the most valuable people that came into my life. Most of them have been through some really hard times but they came out as heroes. Much better people than they would have ever became if it wasn't for what they had to go through.
Depends on how one defines maturity. It is very subjective. Each and every person's expectations of mature behavior is different I feel. In terms of being able to understand and realize the emotional state of others, perform actions without the intention of hurting anyone's feelings, having a mental makeup where we are objective when it comes to work, the ability to operate without wanting anyone's approval and being able to look at the bigger picture always. To add to it and make it simpler, i guess we shouldn't act upon jealousy, irrational fear, greed, envy, our ego.. anything that is impulsive, self destructive and can be brought under the ambit of compulsive behavior. By this i do not mean that we should try and suppress such emotions, but rather make an effort to be self aware and understand the root of this behavior.
A lot of it has to do with upbringing probably and also the individual's willingness to evolve. Age is definitely not something that always determines a person's maturity. It is their willingness to learn and increase their self awareness.
Unfortunately no. Just like being young in age doesn't make one immature.
Maturity has a lot to do with experience, and how you deal with that experiences, how much you've learned from them. And some people never really learn a lot.
The equation would still apply as it relies mainly on gravity. and the object by not in contact with any solids so in outer space yes there wont be any atmosphere but the factors that have two be present is the speed of the bullet, the gravitational force of the earth at the point of firing and the angle of firing , the time the ending speed and the displacement all relies on those three factors. In outer space only the gravitational force would change, so the equation would still be applicable.
There are several things that you learn during your time in the crypto market. Although the basics of the trading remains the same but each person develops their own style to keep up with the markets. So I think it would be more helpful to cover the basic rules that can be universally applied.
Please keep in mind that you asked the question about trading crypto and not about generally investing in crypto, because there are differences between the two. So I am going to treat the question as I see it. Here are a few rules to keep in mind before you start trading crypto:
1. Invest only what you are willing to loose. This mantra doesn't really means that you don't trust the market. The idea behind this is to invest that amount of money, over which you can take cool, calm and objective decisions. People loose money over emotions and gain money by being objective and logical.
2. Research, research and more research. Take a careful look at the projects that you want to start investing in. You don't have to be a technical wiz to listen to videos and read reviews, so don't worry about your lack of knowledge of the crypto world. You'll learn as you go along.
3. Look up on the technical analysis of the price movement of the coins. TA is something that is absolutely essential if you want to become a good trader. From the biggest to the smallest traders, all use TA to get a future projection of markets.
4. Have a strategy - Day trading, weekly trading, monthly trading, etc. Stick to it and don't get greedy because it will cloud your judgement. Greed will make even a logical mind stupid.
First of all decentralized technology is still new to the world. Its market penetration and adoption is still negligible.
With the passage of time as more and more people are aware of this technology, it is becoming more and more popular.
Now even many countries has started accepting this as currency and many other are in the process of adopting.
So in future a more countries will jump into it and it will gain more trust of people. Its value will also increase.
Honestly speaking, crypto has still lot of potential in it. Especially if someone is targeting it for a longer period.
If someone intends to invest in this business, one should be very careful and have proper study of the crypto currencies, which he/she intend to buy.
One should also be very clear which type of investment he/she wants to make i.e short term or day trading, medium term and long term.
It seems that prices are at the lower side and eventually will go up if invested for the longer period. The point here is one should invest only that much of amount which he can afford to hold for a longer period.
If someone is will for short term, he should have proper market research before entering into some coins. It is also advisable to have some market to form an opinion.
Another point where many of us make a mistake is that one should not invest all the money in one coin instead invest should be diversified. analytical tools available in the
One should not make all the investment at once in one time instead investment should be made in steps.
The main theme of game of thrones is that doing good will get you killed. Good guys die. That's just the way the world works. It's a true and proper reflection of the bitter truth of this world. The bad people always win because they play dirty and the good guys keep losing because they don't do what needs to be done to win.
But at the same time the series also shows that being bad isn't always perfect because karma catches up with everyone. And as such, every antagonist in the series eventually dies a gruesome death that matches the cruel way they have lived their lives. This is seen in Geoffrey's choking to death, little finger, the silent killer getting his throat slit open and Ramsey Bolton, the brutal murderer getting eaten by dogs.
These themes and the show help to represent the real world and the way it works in a way that no other series of movie does. Can't wait for the next season to come out
The main theme of "Game of thrones" is politics and howbeit it has other theme as well and when you take a lot at everything the series revolved around you will noticed it's mainly politics and why do I say this?
We could see a possible hunt for the people trying to sit on the iron throne from Cersi Lannister to Danneryis Tagearyn the betrayal by Euron greyjoy and how he killed his brother to take over the salt throne is evidence of political corruption, the unruly desire for power and the insatiable urge to worship.
There is also themes like sorcery, magic, archaic believe in things like dragon, incest, prostitution acute nudity and the way of life of people who lived in the earliest centuries a very long time ago.
However the plot of the series centres on politics and the second will be political corruption and betrayal
Game of Thrones Theme", also referred to as "Game of Thrones Main Title Theme", is the theme music of the television series Game of Thrones. It plays during the title sequence and was composed by Ramin Djawadi in 2011, after series creator David Benioff and D. B. Weiss approached him requesting a theme
If I'm not mistaken, Brave Browser is one of the projects of BAT or basic ant token, which is one of the cryptocurrencies. Using Brave Browser allows you to earn BAT tokens while using it.
But the great thing about Brave browser is it a fast and private web browser with an ad blocker. This feature allows the user to consume lesser mobile data than using the conventional web browsers.
Define safer. If safer means protecting you from being data mined and your personal information sold then yes, it is safer!In the case of malicious attacks its the same as Google, or any other browser but, what separates DuckDuckGo from others is that it doesn't track you while you browse. Unlike other popular search engines, especially Google, that collect, store and sell its users private information, Duckduckgo protects your privacy against the global mass surveillance.
DuckDuckGo describes itself as "the search engine that doesn't track you". They promise not to use cookies to follow its users and say that they don't collect any of our personal information. Even your IP address is hidden when you use DuckDuckGo.
In terms of your computer being anymore safe from malicious attacks than it already is, would not be dependent solely on your search engine. Really, your search engine offers barely any protection at all against malicious attacks.
In terms of tracking, duckduckgo should offer you the most protection in this sense.
If anonymity is your goal, you will need to do more than just use duckduckgo. Google Chrome stores every page you visit, (unless in incognito mode I believe, and I wouldn't be foolish enough to believe it's true incognito). Your searches will all be saved in your browsing history. This isn't privacy oriented IMO.
So, if by safe you mean anon, you're definitely going to need to do some research, use a browser such as firefox, and start reading about browser config, because you will need to change a few settings ;)
You traveled to a new city with 600 km/h speed by a Japanese bullet train, sit back in a American restaurant and ordered some Italian foods and they served on Chinese plates - this can be possible of globalisation!
Despite of having so many good effects it also has some bad effects on a native cultures of some countries :
● Today's youths of some countries including India feel sham to speak their mother tongue. They afraid to be called rustic, in a result so many native languages loosing their importance because of globalisation. Many health issues arise to prefer imported junk food than native foods. Farmers and labours lost their job because of some machines.
● Globalisation made us highly diplomatic, we forget our old traditions and preferring new professionalism . Today, joint family is a subject of surprise specially for the citizens of metropolitan cities. Grandparents become guests to their child's house and loose the natural love and respect of their grandchild because of nuclear familisation.
● Our old traditions teach us to keep a bit distance between different genders in other side globalisation has mixed them up and risen physical relationship before marriage. Similarly marriage lost its importance because of lots number of divorces, now it has become a official relationship than to be relation of two hearts.
Overall, our native culture is really affected badly by globalisation in respect of dressing, in respect of foods, in respect of speaking, in respect of respecting and many more.
I have always loved the idea of earning cryptocurrency for many years. It inspires me because of the flux with the rise and fall. Though sometimes not too stable withing the value of this kind of currency, but the main insipration for my love of it is I feel like I am duping the government. The idea that it isn't concidered part of the tax world, meaning I get keep all I earned. Along with the bartering system that I tend to live by, cryto feels like just that.
I wish I had mining server up and running 24/7, but the only access to internet is wifi at the library. Maybe soon this will change and I can be in the market for many types of cryto.
The main reason why I have a great hope on Cryptocurrencies is the technology behind it. I strongly believe that that Blockchain can be a revolutionary future. We are just currently in the starting stages. And fortunately I feel we are early adopters of this technology.
There are also so many drawbacks as well that we have to agree. Since we are in beta stages, we have to be patient until this is stablized.
Also, at this point in time we should not be worrying about the price of cryptocurrencies. They will see lots of ups and downs. We will be able to gain good hold of it only if we hold it for a longer period of time.
Here in the United States, out of all the places I've been I can only narrow it down to two. And that is because they are totally, totally different places. However, I have not been everywhere in the country, despite driving cross country over a dozen times. Nor have I fully experienced many places I've been. But I feel pretty strongly about these and I know there are others out there who would back me up.
In terms of nature, that's a really hard one. There's a ton of amazing geography throughout the states, hidden between the piles of crumbling d-bags. A few years ago, I got a chance to visit Yellowstone National Park while driving cross country. Of course, our timing was off, and we ended up driving through it mostly at night. But it was still cool- and free! Haha. When we entered there were *walls* of snow, despite it being pretty late in the season. There was also a nice outhouse with feces smeared all over the walls.
Still, though, it was beautiful. Just bad timing. Another time I got snowed out of one of the coolest places in the states was when a group of friends and I decided to go 6 hours out of our way while driving cross country to visit the Grand Canyon. When we got there, however, we encountered a whiteout snowstorm-something that rarely ever happens there, apparently. I got luckier my second time though, and got to enjoy it with my ex in some beautiful, beautiful weather.
There are a ton of other beautiful places in the states(I refuse to capitalize that), but I think what really tops the charts for me in terms of all the places I've been is the Oregon coast. It. is. amazing.
Sure, the entire west coast is amazing. And I don't mean like as a whole- I mean literally the coastline. The famous Route 1(I think?) that follows down the California drive is truly one of the most beautiful scenic routes I've ever been on. Although make sure to fill up when you can; there's a long stretch with only one "town"(station) that charges up to 3x the price of gas. Just cause they can!
But yeah. The Oregon coast. One of the most amazing places I've ever been. If you ever get the chance I strongly suggest experiencing it.
Oregon doesn't have a ton of culture, though. Sure, Portland is pretty cool, and there are a ton of amazing towns dotted around; but I've heard the state as a whole is a little, well, "snobby". In terms of culture, I'd say the coolest place by far that I have been to in the continental US is New Orleans, LA.
New Orleans is so cool! There is so much going on and so much interesting architecture and history. I literally don't think it would be possible to get bored in New Orleans. I would definitely want to try to live there at some point if it wasn't for the inability to access snow and the fact that my black/brown dog doesn't want to be in that sort of heat.
There are a ton of other cool places here. And this is coming from someone who hates our politics; don't get me confused as a patriot. Both Hawaii and Alaska are apparently amazing.
In a few weeks I'm about to embark on a multiple year trip around the country with my dog so I'm sure I'll be seeing plenty more places! I'll be posting our journeys here if you have any interest in checking it out and seeing some of the places we get to experience.
Here in the Philippines we have numerous beauty spots you can visit.
If you've seen in the map, we are consist of islands that is why one of our major travel destinations are the beaches. I can proudly say that our beaches are really beautiful and you can view marine animals such as whale, dolphin and fishes swimming, you can even swim with them.
Another is our nature. In the province a lot of green areas can be seen. Fresh air and calm vibes. We also have the one of the most tiny monkeys in the world, the tarsier. And a lot more animals that is only seen in the country.
We also have the chocolate hills, it is known to be called chocolate because once the summer is on it's peak the grass turns brown and the hills will look like chocolates.
There are a few old buildings that are still standing nowadays. It reminds us of all times and served as a preservation of the past.
Overall our country is one of the best in terms of natural resources. It's just that some are exploiting it. I just hope that the people will always protect nature! We have so much potential in terms of tourist destinations.
Here in Nigeria, there are a lot of places worth visiting. Personally I've been to few but I'd try to make a list of those I've been to and those I've heard of and planning to go to.
The first on the list is the Ikogosi warm water and cold water spring at Ekiti. The major side attraction of this destination is you get to witness the wonders of nature, where a singular source of water is producing both warm water and cold water, meeting at the same point.
The second on this list is the olumo rock in Abekokuta. Here you witness a natural formation of rocks and the beauty of nature all around it.
Thirdly, we have the Palace of the Ooni of Ife and the Ife kingdom. This is believed to be the headquarters of the Yoruba kingdom and the origin of the Yoruba people..
Further more, you can visit places like the Yankari games reserve, Obudu Cattle Ranch, the benin Kingdom, the Tomb of Bilikis Sungbo or Sungbo Eredo believed to be the Biblical Queen of Sheba who visited king Solomon, Zuma Rock in Abuja, Lekki Conservation Centre in lagos, whispering palms in Badagry, the Slave trade centre and the place of no return in Badagry, the ibadan Zoo etc.
These are just few out of the many places you can visit in Nigeria. I couldn't list them all because it's much.
You can visit to learn of our history, past, present and witness the harmony of Nature in Nigeria.
A country with good people who never forgets their origin and a great nation
There are plenty of them in Indonesia depending your interests. Since indonesia is an archipelago country, it translates as having multiple islands with different characteristic. However, I am going to narrow it down by picking major islands in Indonesia.
Here's my version of navigating your way through Indonesia.
All you can have - Truly live party scene, digital nomad, neo-hippie, yoga, meditation, culture, traditional taste, amazing nature, multicultural. : BALI Island indonesia.
All of mentioned above without the huge party and less multicultural : Lombok Island Indonesia
Business hub, party, skyscrapers, pollution, megapolitan and insanely crazzy traffic : Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia.
Local culture, Royal family, History, Student's city, party scene is dull : Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Again local culture, tribes, nature as in rain forest, great spot for documentary film : Kalimantan, Indonesia
Great food, local culture, mixture of middle eastern and Indonesia culture, close to Singapore : Sumatra Island.
If what you mean by "necessary" is required to be done, then NO. It's honestly not that required for the blockchain to upgrade to HF20. As a matter of fact, we could literally just be content with HF19 and use it for years. This is also the reason why a supermajority of the top witnesses (17 out of 21) needs to reach a consensus first before it pushes through to know if it is really needed.
However there is no denying that there are major issues right now that prevents Steem from gaining mass adoption, one of which is the Creation of New Accounts. HF20 (codenamed Velocity) tries to provide a solution for this by their discounted account creation tokens. There is also the issue of spammers spamming the blockchain and is mostly the reason why "Resource Credits" (CR) will be introduced by the next hard fork. All are improvements that will make Steem a better and stable platform and a platform that will be ready for mass adoption.
So while it isn't really necessary to do another Hard Fork, it is however needed for long-term goals. To provide solutions to the current problems Steem is experiencing and make Steem a much more stable and great platform.
Absolutely, it is necessary since the growth of steem depends on this. With the HF20 that is planned to take place on September 25 of this year, several aspects that have flaws or need updating within the chain of steem blocks will be improved, some changes that will occur during the HF20 are:
> System based on Resource Credits (CR)
> Change the system for creating accounts.
> Creation of discounted account
> Discount account creation tokens
> Stake-based discount account creation market
> Recording account creation fee
> Contempt creation of account with delegation operation
> Reverse modified account creation fee
> Dust vote threshold changes
> Elimination of the minimum restriction of SP shutdown
In addition, the HF20 is also necessary to receive the SMTs that will add value to the chain of steem blocks through the different DAPPS that are planned to be created or that are already created and are waiting for the development of SMT to be completed, which will happen in the first quarter of next year.
I think putting in like 20% of my current savings wouldn't be a bad idea. There's a very good chance that the market is going to mimic what happened last year and converting some of your savings into something like BTC which will most probably lead the charge if there's going to be a bull run.
I get so upset when in hear things like this because it's statements like this that actually encourage men to go out and cheat.
No matter the circumstance, cheating is never and should never be exceptable!!! If you give your husband the impression that you'll forgive him if he cheats then I guarantee you, he's going to cheat. It's not burned into the male DNA to cheat, it's something that society has gradually encouraged and nortured in the minds of all men and now even women, well let me tell you that it's not true, not all men cheat
My darling, do not settle for a cheating man, do your research on your boyfriend before you decide to make him your husband and don't let what friends who have been brainwashed by society taint what you believe. Not every man cheats, if you expect your man to cheat then you're only going to end up making him cheat even if he has no plan of cheating. All men aren't the same and if a man cheats in a marriage then I don't think he's worth staying with.
Be loyal to your partner and expect nothing less from them, if who ever you're with can't be loyal to you and only you then push them to the side and find someone who will, don't ever accept that mindset that whoever you're with will cheat, because you devalue your worth as a woman when you do so. You're a queen, and no queen deserves to be cheated on, no queen should put up with that no matter what.
No, it's not. It's never certain. I can say in all honesty that I've never cheaten on my wife since we're together.
I do speak for myself now though, I know there are men who cheat, but there are also a lot of men like me, who don't.
But, if you live in your relationship with the idea that he will cheat you anyway, and that you'd better deal with it, it will show in your relationship. You will never be fully 'into' it, because you are afraid to get hurt. And if he feels that you are not really into the relationship, he might go looking for that elsewhere.
That's what is called a self-fulfilling prophecy, or manifestation. It happens because you think it will.
But be careful, this does NOT mean that if your husband cheats on you, that it is by definition your fault! Nor is this an excuse for men to cheat! What I mean to say is that if you want a loving and healthy relationship, you both need to be in it whole heartedly.
The karbala war is a war that takes place in the same people, this war can be called the civil war in the second Islam which took place around the 10th of Muharram.
This war was caused by the struggle for the Caliphate carried out by the Umayyads who at that time declared themselves as the unilateral Khalifah of the Muslims.
Karbala is a war over the right of the Ahlul Bait (the family of the Messenger of Allah) that happened because it was a denial made by the Umayyad family by giving up the position of Caliph to his son, Yazid. The power of the Muawiyah Dynasty was planned since the reign of Umar and reached the peak in the reign of Hasan as, son of Ali ibn Abu Talib. At first Hasan did not want to pledge allegiance to Muawiyah, but for the sake of the salvation of the people and the widespread slander, Hasan was forced to pledge allegiance to Muawiyah.
Yes, probably as soon as HardFork20 (HF20) is released and accepted by witness consensus. Unless the STEEM price drops drastically further between now and Sept. 25th, which would increase the debt ratio, SBD will printed again once HF20 has been adopted by the witnesses.
This is because HF 20 changes the debt correction levels to happen only between 9-10% of debt, rather than to kick in as soon as 2% already.
Currently the debt correction happens according to this rule set (source @timcliff post linked below):
> When the STEEM/SBD debt ratio is between 0% and 2%: 0% STEEM, 100% SBD.
> When the STEEM/SBD debt ratio is between 2% and 5%: linearly changes from 0% STEEM, 100% SBD to 100% STEEM, 0% SBD.
> When the STEEM/SBD debt ratio is greater than 5%: 100% STEEM, 0% SBD.
In HF20 the debt correction will happen only starting at 9% (source Steemitblog):
> Under the new rules, SBD tokens will continue to be printed unless/until the debt ratio reaches 9% of the STEEM market cap. Between 9% and 10%, liquid payouts will shift linearly from paying 100% SBD and 0% STEEM at 9%, to paying 0% SBD and 100% STEEM at 10%.
If you were to ask me this ten years ago, I would have said Mozilla.
Today I prefer Chrome for 100 % of my computing. Why this is, is very simple for me.
Chrome makes it easy to save passwords, bookmark pages, add nice extensions, ect.
You can perform these operations with Mozilla as well, but Chrome syncs very nicely with your google account, as well as your devices that are connected to google. For this reason, Chrome has become the easy choice for me, due to convenience.
If you are more privacy oriented, I would choose Mozilla, because the browser is very customizable, and in my experience, modifying the browser config is quite easy.
That's a bit like asking: which one do you prefer, Mercedes, or BMW? Both are great browsers, and both alternate to being "the best one", depending on the versions, or depending on what you feel is important to you.
For me, privacy is important. And Google (who owns and develops Chrome) is not really all that big about privacy.
So far Firefox is often referred to as a tough competitor of Chrome because it has some promising features
Here are the advantages of Firefox compared to Chrome
1. Firefox Is Better In Privacy Than Chrome.
Surely you agree that privacy is one that we should prioritize. If you are one of those people who think privacy is important then Chrome won't suit you.
because it can be ascertained that Google has monitored you and will track everything in your account to ensure that the ads targeted to you are the most relevant. Chrome will always ask you to associate applications with Google ID
so that it can synchronize your data, while in Firefox these things will not happen.
2. Firefox is easy to operate.
Firefox is a browser that is very easy to use when compared to Chrome. You can prove this when in Chrome you will find lots of navigation,
especially when many tabs are open, the elements will start to shrink with the new tab and make it impossible for you to know the information from each tab Unlike Firefox, which will find the user interface in the form of scroll side (side scroll) which will really help you scroll with the mouse.
3. Chrome Eat lots of RAM.
RAM has a function as a memory for temporary storage when the computer is run and can be accessed randomly. Although Chrome offers the fastest page rendering, it turns out that behind fast rendering has the effect of consuming a lot of RAM
4. Firefox Is Equipped With Default Reader Mode
Don't expect more on Chrome because about the Reader mode you won't find in Chrome
But otherwise this Reader mode will be present and you can find it in Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Reader mode certainly makes our eyes more comfortable when looking at the screen.
We know that there's no doubt about the greatness of Chrome that has been equipped with dozens of extensions, But you will find Firefox add-ons that are exclusive to this browser only. One of them is the MoScript extension that is only available for Firefox users.
Thus reviews of the advantages you get from Mozilla Firefox when compared to Google Chrome, Hopefully the review above can be a reference for those of you who are choosing a browser with good privacy, Mozilla Firefox can be an option,
Time and Money Management Skills!!! I think that these two life skills should be taught to young adults.
The problem with today's generation is that they are so attracted to new technologies and gadgets that when one is released, they go immediately purchase and buy it online. All for the sake of being part of the "cool" one.
While it is no major cause of concern when they have their parents on their side, it will become a huge problem the moment they go out solo in the outside world.
Having a good knowledge on how to manage your money and time is probably the best life skill one should have in today's time as it allows one to survive and live a stress-free life without worrying too much nor expecting too much about anything.
If one can manage his time and money properly, then he's all set for the outside world.
This may sound like a funny one, but it's a pet peeve of mine
Children are not taught at a young age how to interact with animals. As a dog lover/owner most of my life I can not tell you how horrified I am when little kids run up to my dogs on walks and want to smother or come over the top at them
It might not seem a valuable skill, but it is definitely one that more people need to learn. Dog's on leashes are already in a defensive state of mind, they know they can't escape, or run away from a situation. A dog should never be approached at a run, yelling, hands raised etc. Most dogs, especially nervous or skittish ones, will take this as a threat to one degree or another
Please teach your children to approach any animal slowly, cautiously, never approach with your hands above the dog's head, always have them lower to the ground. Give the dog a chance to smell/sniff you and decide if you are OK. If a dog backs away from you, do not push the encounter.
Skills like that should be taught to every child in my opinion
3 Social Skills that are very important for children who are rarely taught
1. Sharing Skills
Many students have difficulty sharing time and materials. This complication can bring serious management problems during cooperative learning lessons. Become a boss against other students, talk endlessly, and doing all the group work yourself are examples of students' inability to share. Dominant students are often carried out consciously and unknowingly due to their behavior towards other students or their group work.
2. Participatory Skills
Some students who dominate group activities, other students even do not want or cannot participate. Sometimes students avoid group work out of shame. Often shy students are very smart and can work alone well or with others. Students who are excluded are other types of students who have difficulty participating in group activities. Finally, there are certain students who choose, for any reason, to work alone and refuse to participate in cooperative group activities.
3. Communication Skills
everyone has experienced difficulties in giving ideas or feelings so that ideas or feelings are perceived accurately by listeners, and accurately, people experience the same difficulties in listening and interpreting what others say to us. Cooperative groups cannot function effectively if the group's work is marked by miscommunication.
There are four communication skills to avoid miscommunication, which is to repeat with their own sentences, describe behavior, describe feelings, and check impressions. These four skills are important and should be taught to students to facilitate communication in group settings.
In addition to everything else listed, just....how to do basic things. Especially for men whose biggest reason for not doing very basic things is that they don't know how/were never taught.
I'm talking how to cook stuff that's not from a box, or at least how to spice up boxed stuff like how a few spices and some veggies added to pre-packaged ramen can make it not only more filling but tastier and at least somewhat healthier.
I'm talking how to do laundry, something I see a lot of adults just not knowing how to do. Why it's important to separate your whites and colors, what the different tags mean, how to make your own laundry detergent for cheaper than the store stuff.
While we're on clothing, teaching how to hem/adjust clothes and do repair jobs is a very useful skill that I've never seen taught unless one parent already knows how or special classes are taken but it should be a more widely taught skill. Saves loads of money if you can go shopping and find something a little too big for you but know how to adjust it to fit, especially if you're thrift shopping.
Basic troubleshooting for household appliances is also something useful but almost never taught. I know how to reset our garbage disposal if it stops working, for example. I know how to unclog just about any drain with simple home remedies. And I know when it's time to call a professional after I've tried a few different things that do the trick 98% of the time so I can save time and money doing those first.
Also how to clean stuff. Effective ways to vacuum and do dishes, how to clean a toilet and bath tub, those kinds of things.
All stuff that the internet taught me more than my mother or school or any other source and I had to adjust to as an adult. And all very useful skills that are actually practical for the real world regardless of your job or just about anything else.
Vaccines have been known right from time to be safe, in the present day, the news and government say they are safe. But taking a closer look at vaccines, we see that there is much more toworried about.
Chemicals which make up the ingredients of vaccines are dangerous toxins known as mutagens and carcinogens. These substances causes mutations of the cells. In small quantities they are harmless but accumulatively they are dangerous. Children take up to 20 vaccines before they are five and these toxins can lead to death or brain damage.
Some of these toxins include
Aluminum phosphate, which is a corrosive acid
Aluminum sulphate which is a highly carcinogenic chemical and corrosive acid especially when mixed with water.
Thimerosal which is 46.9% mercury and is the second most toxic element on earth next to platinum and is a neuro toxin.
Acetone which is used as a solvent for oaints and oils and in the manufacturing of plastics.
Watch the tattooist's book to see his work
Follow or at least take into account the tattoo artist's recommendations on size, location, details, etc ...
Once the work is done, follow the tattoo artist's instructions carefully regarding the care of a fresh tattoo.
Not to do:
Haggle. If the price does not suit you, try the competition.
Drink alcohol before, during, or after the tattoo.
Giggling, squirming, screaming, complaining. Clench your teeth and wait for it to pass, it probably will not be the worst pain of your life.
Assume that the tattoo artist will start or finish on time. The lack of punctuality is a chronic disease of tattoo artists.
Go to the beach, the pool, or the sun in the weeks following the tattoo.
Recommended:
If you are happy with your tattoo, let it know.
As at Musing, BNBR stands up to the tattoo artist, his workplace, his colleagues and clients.
In most cases, avoid visible and non-concealable tattoos on the face, neck, hands, etc.
Avoid the names of your girlfriend or boyfriend, the signs of infinity, the portraits of your kids or your dogs.
Do not overeat!
Hello friends, I was seeing many brands of craft beer, and I thought it was a very interesting world to make this homebrew made by hand.
I like beer is very delicious, but I always thought that it would not give my touch.
Hi dude considered one of the oldest alcoholic beverages in the world, beer appeared 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia. Made from cereals such as barley and spelled, this beverage was then called "Sikaru". Nowadays, beer is mainly composed of malt, hops, yeasts and water. For lovers of this drink, we offer in this tutorial to make it yourself.
Before you start making your own beer, you need to get a kit that includes the following equipment:
- A large brewing container and its lid,
- A clarifier,
- a test tube,
- A densimeter for beer,
- a sticker thermometer,
- A mixing spatula
- A tap of withdrawal.
All the ingredients necessary for the preparation of beer are also included in the kit, such as sugar, malt concentrate and yeast.
Take the material out of its packaging and wash each equipment with tap water.
We do not recommend the use of cleaning products containing bleach.
Instead, you can opt for neutral dishwashing liquid.
Avoid drying material with rigid tissue.
Then place the brew bucket on your worktop.
Insert the draw-off tap into the opening on the container body and then glue the self-adhesive thermometer onto it.
With everything that is happening in our world today, it is logical and understandable that so many people will ask this question. All you need to do is focus on yourself and judge what your actiins contribute to the whole situatiin and world. Are your actions those that try to make the situatiin better or worse? This is the question you must answer to have your inner peace in the World.
The world id going through tough times and it takes brave people to do something no matrer how little to change it. For example, there is the problem of massive hunger and if you can't seem to have your inner peace seeing this then that simply means the responsibility is falling on you to do something to change the situation. It can be by sharing with someone in need around you.
The whole thing revolves around you listening to that inner voice. The reason you can't have your inner peace is simply because there is an issue that warrants your attention but you ignore it or you are hesistant to flow with the feeling and do that which you must do. There is something that is disturbing you and that is why you can't have your inner peace. All you need to do is address it or solve it and that will be the source of your inner peace.
We all need inner peace but if i must tell you, genuine inner peace can only come from one true source. Only Jesus Christ can really give us eternal peace of mind.
No, not in the slightest, human life is far more precious than the lives of any pet.
Pets may be dear to us but every pet can be replaced and as sad as that sounds it's the truth. You can literally go to the pet store and adopt a new one but a human being can't be replaced so easily.
A father cannot be replaced in the life of a child and a child cannot be replaced in the eyes of a parent. Yes we form strong bonds with our pets and animals, I should know, I have a few myself but their lives can never matter more than another humans life. Over the course of a lifetime, most people will outlive their pets and get new ones then outlive them again. If you out live a brother, a lover, a cousin or whoever, you can't replace them with someone else.
If a choice was to be made between a pet life and another human being, just remember that a pet can be replaced with another one that looks and will probably behave like the other one, but a human being cannot be replaced so easily.
This is a very sensitive issue but I guess with musing, topics like this are healthy.
One thing I'd like to remind is even if it's a pet, or another living thing - it is still life. It's all about how thinking a lot of circumstances and the type of people who would you like to react.
The fact is, people have different judgment and everyone has their opinion. For me, it depends on the situation and of course your personal preference. While most of the time we should follow the society's moral and standard, everyone would expect human beings should be treated with utmost care.
But to ourselves and the people who understand our burden, valuing our pet's life is more of a "feeling" rather than importance.
That's a very big no, No matter how much attachment you have towards that pet, it shouldn't be valued over the life of another human being like yourself.
It's all shades of wrong, and simply means you see other humans as lesser beings whose lives are worthless than that of your pet.
In my opinion, anybody that values the life of a pet over the life of another human being no matter the circumstances is capable of murder.
In a nutshell, no it's not okay to value the life of your let over that of another human
"ICEV" in automotive engineering is the abbreviation of Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle.
So an ICE car Is a car that uses a fuel source to power itself. Recently people started referring petrol/diesel cars as ICE because of the need to differentiate between cars with newer technologies such as an EV (Electric Vehicle), HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle), FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle) and the likes.
I guess that the acronym ICE stands for 'Internal Combustion Engine'. That's the only way that the acronym ICE makes sense in front of the word 'car'.
Usually cars all have internal combustion engines, but with the recent boost in electric cars the difference between them is becoming more prominent in media by specification of the type of car it is - 'electric' or 'ICE'.
I don't think so, the musing curators upvote posts in a completely non-biased way. Every post is read and evaluated based on whether or not it's relevant to the question and how much knowledge has been passed across and how much effort was put into answering the question.
I believe that having your opinion of whether something is right or wrong is a fundamental part of being human. It's people's opinions that basically run steemit, if I feel that your answer isn't right or isn't in line with the context of the question asked then I won't vote your post.
There's more than one curator on musing and if they agree that an answer is correct then it most probably is. Their opinions matter and that's why they're curators, there's no prejudice whatsoever, if your answers are quality then they will get a quality upvote.
Maybe they did not predict the future. They already know what is going to happen and they wanted to show their power with placing them into some cartoons basicly.
Here is the conspiracy theory: They are controlling the world and they have a strong power. By the way, I do not know who they are (I do not want to be a target 🤫).
Think about it when you have a very strong power, you want to show it every one right. It is the human nature. They love to show their power and controlling strength. Therefore, they place some signature as an artist and they wait audience to find out these signatures over events.
When people find out these signatures later on, they are proud and happy. They are now known by huge audience.
Just thinking and interpreting. It is conspiracy theory after all. 🤔🤨🤔😨
They are not predictions, they are simple coincidences that used logic and that unwittingly became reality.
Being a world-known building, it was at risk of disasters and terrorist attacks from the beginning, since if someone particular or some criminal or terrorist organization wants to be noticed, it must attack very important places or places.
As were the twin towers, it could have been any other well-known building that had a great symbolic and patrimonial value for the nation.
I identify my source of inspiration is my curiosity. I am very curious person and l love learning.
I ask lots of questions and wonder too many things. All of these things bring me knowledge. When I have right knowledge, I could use it in right places. Inspiration comes with this curiosity and my learning appetite.
Another source could be my wish to see people happy. I like to solve people's problem and see the smile. These problems are small to solve for me, but very stressful for them.
With my learning skills, I could search and read their problem and present best thing I find as a result.
The last one is being hungry to success. I love learning and being successful in a field. For this I have enough patience and perseverance.
These give me inspirations and also my baby (My lovely little baby more powerful than others :) )
I best describe my source of inspiration as unshakable because it comes from within me. I have this believe right from my childhood that **you as a person have greater role to play in achieving whatever you want to actualize in life.** There is nothing like strength from within, a strong believe that everything and anything can be achieved if only you've made up your mind, you will surely conquer.
What I think it is, is that the government got a little greedy. People couldn't pay their basic necessities, so the economy couldn't grow because people don't have enough money to let it grow. So the government doesn't get enough money to survive because for them, everything is also too expensive. So what do they do, they print more money to afford their luxuries, and by doing so, creating more existing money, and that means that the money loses more value, and for the people things become more expensive, also for the government, so they print again more money and by doing so, you get returning circle.
If the government wasn't greedy in the first place and didn't try to regulate people lives as far as deciding what they can and cant eat, this didn't happened. Anyway, that is just an speculation, but I have seen it many times, that is what socialism does to a country. The government just want to control people, and have power over them, and also keep their luxury lifestyles.
inflation rate is so high because the country is not able to repay the debt in time. So what is does, is they artificially make the price of their fiat currency lower, so the loan they have is also lower. But what they do with lower price of their own currency, is high interest rate. Too high. So high, it is not even acceptable any more. They could reduce inflation rate if country repays all of their debt or if their debt will be canceled ( just like Germany's debt was canceled in 1953)
In the end: you can not fake the market on all sides. Markets always slap you back, in one way or the other
India in no way prohibits cryptocurrencies or their trade on the stock market. Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley delivered the state budget for 2018-2019 when he touched on crypto problems and their use in the country.
Jaitley said:
"The government does not consider crypto as legal currency or coins and will take all measures to eliminate crypto use in financing unauthorized activities or as part of the payment system. "
Points to remember from the statement are:
Indian authorities do not recognize bitcoin as a legal tender. The Indian government will crack down on the use of cryptocurrency in illegal activities and; Indian authorities will prevent people from using cryptocurrencies as a payment instrument.
Jaitley did not comment on the ban on krypton, or reported a crackdown on cryptocurrency trading. A side note - Indian tax authorities actually use cryptocurrency trading to hunt down tax evaders.
In April, the Reserve Bank of India gave banks three months to cease any activity with cryptocurrencies. The Supreme Court stood by the RBI’s blanket ban on crypto transactions despite the central bankers admitting that they had no guidance and did no research on blockchain or cryptocurrencies when deciding their new policy. (They had no clue how it works, they just wanted Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency OUT of the system, so they can peacefully continue to steal money from average people - every day...)
However, it should be of no surprise that crypto has been dismissed out of hand by Indian authorities as they are in the process of the world’s largest IT project - phasing cash out of its economy and digitizing its currency.
Meanwhile, the Indian rupee (INR) has been one of the worst performing emerging market currencies against the USD this year.
The cocked to the side flat brim. Every time. No matter what. Like, I have literally never seen anyone make that look good. It is so, so funny to me.
Most other fashion trends I'm pretty open to. Not that I don't have a decent eye for fashion; but I mean I'm open to as in I think some people can pull most anything off if done the right way. But there are definitely still some other really bad ones.
For instance, things like Ed Hardy or No Fear shirts. Like, come on. What kind of person do you have to be to wear a shirt that you think makes you come off as more badass(it doesn't). Really, any sort of that "tough-guy" stuff. Like, I grew up in punk culture and I'm all about that sort of stuff- but the dudes driving lifted trucks with fake cow balls hanging off the back of them and they all look like Dog the Bounty Hunter but are really all just carpenters and pipe layers.
I think we all know the type.
I guess that's all I really got for concrete stuff. Most other things I feel like there's always something out there who can pull it off.
Except I hate when people make themselves essentially look like dolls. And pay tens of thousands to do it. What's up with that? (I'm talking to you designers)
It is one of the four holy months of the Hijri lunar calendar, in order the calendar is the first month and marks the beginning of the Islamic New Year.
This month is only surpassed by Ramadán in relation to its meaning.
This year 2018, will be held from September 12 until October 9 approximately. This celebration is not the same for all Muslims, who celebrate it in different ways:
Ashura (tenth day of Muharram) is a very important day for Muslims, as it marks the day of the abandonment of the Ark of Nuh (Noah) and also the day when Musa (Prophet Moses) is saved by God from Pharaoh Egypt, crossing The Red Sea with its people.
Muharram for Shia and Sunni Muslims is different. Since many believe that this is the beginning of the Islamic New Year which has as its meaning reflection and peace.
For Muslim followers of the Shia branch of Islam, it is a reflective and solemn day of Islamic history.
In Shia, it has another meaning completely different from the previous ones. Muharram is a commemoration of the death of Muhammad's grandson (Hussein Ibn Ali). He was murdered for questioning the legitimacy of the Caliph Yazid, during the battle of Karbala, which was held on the day of Ashura during the year 680 AD.
During the Muharram, several Muslims perform fasting during the day of Ashura, and some other days of the Muharram in the form of thanksgiving.
Some other Muslims like the Shiites perform and participate in rituals, which are mourning, which are performed in mesquitas to mourn the death of Hussein, remembering everything he did for justice.
And some other Muslims perform public rituals, which tend to be a bit more painful, including self-flagellations, cuts and blows to various parts of their body.
References and More information about Muharram in:
Muharram is the first month in the Hijriyah calendar. Arabs call this month Muharram because this month they forbid war. In the past the Arab Society also named the illegitimate months with munzilul assunnah (spearhead or arrow). Because when that month comes they release arrowheads

I would break up with her immediately, not because she slept with a girl, but because she cheated. I won't do anything like ask her to invite the other girl over for a threesome, no, that's just encouraging the inevitable because she's going to have to pick one and since she stepped out then it means she wasn't satisfied with me.
Cheating is cheating irrespective of who you cheated on me with. Relationships are like mini-marriages and although you don't take any vows, you're still accountable to your partner. A wise man once said that if you love two people then pick the second person because if you truly loved the first then you wouldn't have fallen for the second person. So if she cheated then that means that either she never really loved me, or she's confused about her sexuality, and believe me when I say you don't want to be with a confused woman.
Provided I'm doing my part in the relationship and satisfying every demand then she has no right to cheat so if she does then she can go off and enjoy her new love life.
If she sleeps with anyone else than me, it means she doesn't find me sufficient. That is a good recipe to a breakup, so I would break up because it would be a matter of time until I loose her.
Unless you just find her also insufficient, then that is another story.
No, you can't teach someone loyalty. Loyalty is something that can only be emulated. You can't teach a person how to be loyal, it's something that you have to make a mental decision to do.
Loyalty is something that you develop on your own, it could be inspired by watching someone else being loyal or simply by wanting to stand by someone that you admire. Loyalty is an attribute, not a skill, you don't teach people attributes, that's something that they acquire by themselves.
Loyalty is simply a psychological belief or preference for one thing over another. Loyalty to a friend, loyalty to a spouse/lover or loyalty to your favourite brand of ice cream.
You trust that you will not be hurt, give them your loyalty and in return they will be loyal to you.
Loyalty can also be changed or moved over time. You can be taught (or manipulated might be a better phrase) to be loyal to certain factions, brands or whatever through rewards, punishment or various other external stimuli
Yes. They may sound alike, but there are several fundamental differences between an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and an Initial Public Offering (IPO). In fact, even though an ICO has been described by Bloomberg as "like an IPO, but with coins", the two are so distinct they have more differences than similarities.
When it comes down to it, both an ICO and IPO have the same purpose--companies use them to raise funds. However, that's pretty much where their similarities end. So, what are these differences?
Who and When. Let's start who raises funds with an IPO and an ICO, and why.
IPOs are often used by mature credible companies and tech startups to raise funds to further their growth. Here, the company making the offer already has a working product, with a sizable user or client base, and a financially stable business model. In other words, they already have something to show their investors. That's why whatever funds they raise will be used to further their growth and expansion. IPOs also only apply to private companies who want to go public.
ICOs, on the other hand, are used by blockchain-based companies and startups, usually at the beginning of a project to gather supporters and generate funds that can be used to develop the company's blockchain-based product and enter the market.
Public Offering vs Crowdfunding. An IPO and an ICO raise funds in different ways.
An IPO depends on the very formal and traditional public offer, which is subject to rigid rules, mandatory regulatory oversight and requires the company to publish a prospectus. A prospectus is a legal document that contains key information on the company, it's IPO, and other pertinent information that investors need to make informed decisions. The prospectus must also meet certain standards for transparency. This is because all information included in the prospectus can be relied upon in court, so it has to meet certain requirements.
In contrast, an ICO makes use of crowdfundingor in some cases, a private token sale, which are not governed by any regulatory body, authority, or law (at least not yet). Now, most ICOs do publish a white paper, however, there are no set rules on how to write one, nor are the companies required to meet standards of transparency. Meaning, they can publish as little or as much as they want, however they want to.
In addition, because of the formalities involved, and IPO is a much longer process usually taking months from its initial filing to approval. Facebook's IPO, for example began with it's initial filing on February 1, 2012, while it's first day of trading did not take place until May 18 of that year. Compare that to the Basic Attention Token (BAT) ICO, which lasted for only 30 seconds.
Securities vs Coins. Next, they also differ on the product on offer.
In an IPO, companies offer shares, for the first time to the public. These shares represent an ownership stake on the company, and depending on the type of shares sold (whether they are common shares, preferred shares, or a hybrid) entitles those who own the shares a dividend on future earnings and a vote in shareholder's meetings.
In contrast, an ICO offers "coins" or tokens in exchange for a legal tender usually in the form of Fiat, Ether or Bitcoin. These coins or tokens do not grant either an ownership on the blockchain project nor a dividend on future earnings. Instead, what the tokens and coins represent are functional tokens that will give its owners the ability to use the project in the future and participate in the token economy that will be built once the project is live. For example, the tokens sold in a blockchain-based rideshare app could be used by ICO investors to pay for future rides or to pay drivers who will use the app once it is launched.
Exclusive vs Inclusive. Finally, they also differ on who the products are for.
Perhaps the biggest difference between the two, at least for people like you and me, are the types of investors who can buy the shares in an IPO and the coins in an ICO. Whereas an IPO only sells shares to large institutional investors, with people like you and me only getting access once the shares hit the exchanges, ICOs are open to everyone.
This means that those who bought Facebook shares during its IPO had to wait until the first trading day to buy their shares, such that they were no longer buying directly from the Facebook company, but through third-party exchanges. And they were not longer buying it based on its initial price, but with prices that have already been subjected to market forces. In contrast, if that were an ICO, you wouldn't have had to wait for the coins to hit exchanges. Instead, you can buy them based on its initial coin price before it is subjected to market forces.
Not just an IPO with coins. These are the fundamental differences between an IPO and an ICO. Thus, while they might seem like the same thing, they are actually not. They differ in almost every aspect from the process, to the product, to its intended participants. And Bloomberg's description of an ICO as "like an IPO, but with coins" is not only a little misleading, it's actually missing the picture.
I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to cryptocurrency but I happened to have attended a lecture on discord where these two items were talked about and some of their differences between the two is what I will listing here.
First and foremost, the first and most important different is *IPOs work well when its centralized and fully control by a corporation while ICO works well when it is open source meaning no central authority.
ICO is the creation of digital tokens on public ledger called block chain while IPO is like a distribution of shareholding and this is done to the public via investment banks they call them underwriters.
ICO may not have product to present to the public but they have proof of stake or proof of work but IPO must provide a product.
I hope these differences are enough to answer your question.
It is justified by experience and relations. You have a lot of friends and some of them are not like others. If you ask yourself that you could not be a friend to that person by looking his/her appearance. However, you know that it is a pleasure to know that person and you feel you are lucky to know that person.
You reliase that your special friend have a very good heart and never betray you. You understand that your special friend has a very good heart and always be with you.
Both happiness and money are important in the lives of anyone but we can get happiness without money though money can also lead to happiness too especially if the reason why the person was sad was
because they were broke,such person would become happy when they stop being that broke person which they used to be before,i would prefer to choose
happiness over money because i believe that money is useless to me if i have all the money and i still remain sad all days of my life...
It is well known that antivirus software is used to detect and remove viruses, malware, worms and suspicious code that is harmful to your data or computer. Available antivirus software is paid and some are free, but of the many frequently asked questions are "which is the best?" Here are 10 antiviruses that fall into the top 10 list in 2013.
1. AVG Anti-Virus Free 2013
AVG Anti-Virus Free 2013 offers protection that rivals other commercial products, even though it is a free anti-virus software. The drawback is if it is installed on a computer that has not been infected by a virus, even so it still does a good job. If you want good and free antivirus protection, this is a good choice.
It is said to be the best in terms of malware prevention but in terms of malware removal it may be after Norton and Bitdefender.
2. Norton Antivirus 2013
The 2013 edition of Norton Antivirus defeats other antivirus products in terms of malware removal. It offers layered protection and can block a variety of new attacks, related to system weaknesses and offers a variety of additional features.
Regarding paid antivirus software, Norton Antivirus 2013 can be said to be a very good choice.
3. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2013
Is one of the best antivirus in terms of malware removal after Norton. Bidefender Antivirus Plus 2013 does everything that an antivirus should do and includes some additional features. Some even say that bitdefender is the best antivirus that was successfully created.
Perhaps the drawback is the old installation, but this is certainly commensurate with its many features such as its own firewall, Autopilot mode, Rescue Mode and so on. Also is a paid antivirus software.
4. Avast! Free Antivirus 8
One of the advantages of Avast! Antivirus that has been offered before and has its own advantage until now is automatic sandboxing, if the file is considered suspicious. Sandboxing allows the program to be run, only in a different scope so as to prevent the program from doing things that can be dangerous.
Is one of the best free antivirus, especially Avast! Free Antivirus 8 offers Web Reputation and other features besides regular antivirus.
5. McAfee Antivirus Plus 2013
McAfee Antivirus is an antivirus software that has survived for years, protecting the computer and its users. Although in 2010 had disappointed its users, since being acquired by Intel in 2011, McAfee demonstrated its strength in the antivirus field.
Is a paid antivirus software. The company is quite serious about the word "Plus" in this software. In addition to antivirus functionality, it also offers firewalls, real time protection, cleanup systems and so on. Very good in terms of phishing protection.
6. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013
Also a paid anti-virus software that has advantages in phishing protection and malware removal, and easy installation even though the computer has been infected by a virus. Even if there are suspicious files that can be dangerous, Kaspersky will automatically upload the file for analysis.
The disadvantage of this antivirus is that there is no personal firewall, antispam, antibanner and parent control tool. But this antivirus can scan traffic messengers that come in and automatically dispels malware.
7. Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus 2013
Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus 2013 is a paid antivirus that has a very lightweight software size, therefore installation is very easy and fast. Even so, the scanning still runs quickly. Have good features
Since Chris Hitchins died, atheism and humanism, in fact, the masses who were standing up against the tyrannies of religion seem to have declined. How can we reverse this trend and become a more tolerant, peaceful and loving world outside the constraints of religion?
Honestly the best way for this to happen is for man to realize they are not the pinnacle of everything in the universe.
Once intelligent life has been discovered, contacted and interacted with elsewhere besides our insignificant little planet, humanity will be forced to realize there is more out there than some singular religion.
Only once we truly realize and accept we are not God's ultimate (and only) creation will we get this nonsense out of our heads.
Religion is THE singular most dividing and polarizing force we have on this planet. More wars, more death, and more pain has been caused in the name of religion than in all other acts of racism, politics, sexism etc. combined
When mankind realizes we are truly one then and only then can we begin to put aside religion as a divisive force and realize that in the universe it is our humanity that matters, not which god or religion we worship
Absolutely it is not ok. The Robin Hood idea isn't the right way to think.
Stealing is a crime even though you are taking from someone who may have more than you. It doesn't make it any better either by saying you are giving it to the needy. Life is hard enough to make a living without it being stolen.
There are a lot of charities who have wrecked this idea as the money donated doesn't end up at the promised place. Most charities are funded by large donors and normal people who do normal work. The problem is the admin and directors of the charities have to live a normal life but it is a ruse.
They are living off donations and are living the high life and is no different as they are stealing under a false pretense. the ones who suffer will suffer more as the donations will stop altogether. This is a modern day Robin Hood that takes some of the rewards.
Morals and ethics need to be applied to this idea and it just isn't right whatever way you look at it. If you want to make a difference then do it the hard way and collect donations and in an organised way donate to the needy. i have stopped giving to charities as I don't trust them anymore.
In South Africa you can lease a blind man to collect money at traffic lights. criminal gangs are doing that so who do you trust anymore. If I see someone down and out I will buy them some food but otherwise my money stays in my pocket. the days of receiving hand outs have long gone and the needy are suffering because of this.
No there is no justification for that. Two wrongs don't make a right and just because you're doing it for the right reasons doesn't make it right in any way.
If you steal from from someone to give to another person then you've only succeeded in making one person poorer and another person richer. Stealing on its own is a vile act which deprives a human being of something that belongs to them, something they may have worked hard for, something that they may treasure so irrespective of the reason I can't support this.
In my country Nigeria, corruption is rampant and it's common belief that every government official steals money. I imagine that these officials justify their theft by telling themselves that they have mouths to feed, kids to send to school and so on, and to them what they're doing is ok, but we all know it's not. It's exactly the same if you deprive someone of their money because you feel there's someone else that needs it more.
Stealing is wrong and cruel, you never know what a person is going through or what they've planned to do with their money, no matter the circumstance, you have no right to steal money from anyone.
Stealing is illegal in almost all parts of the world.
Two wrongs don't make a right
The end does not justify the means
That is like asking if it is OK to murder for the right cause if it benefits the needy
There are laws in place for a reason and whether you agree or disagree with them, hey are the LAW and should be followed in order to maintain society. If everyone simply did what they wanted and justified it with Oh it was for the needy, where would be as a society?
We need to strive to better each day, not sink to the lowest common denominator and say well they did it, so I will as well. It doesn't matter if its government, local, officials or banks/retail as the other answer states, there is NO justification for stealing.
You are always hurting someone somewhere when you steal. Just because others have more than you does not give you the right or the moral high ground to take from them
Yes! In my country, and in most of the world, those in power steal from the "little" people to fatten their pockets. Thus, the act of stealing to help those in need is a good justification and could even be seen as noble if the funds were stolen from banks or gold and jewlery shops. They make astounding profits on the cost of the rest of the society so, stealing from them to build houses for homeless people is in my opinion a good deed.
I am not yet a mother but I know that pregnancy is not an easy thing to through. When a woman is in labour before she gives birth, she goes through contractions which are very painful. Someone once described labour pains as painful as breaking so many bones at the same time. Many atimes doctors administer medications to lessen these pains but with the Labour pains comes discomfort and followed by so much happening in the system weakening it.
After the Labour comes the child bearing, if the child is born through ceaserean if is much effortless for the mother but if she has to push through the birth canal putting all her energy at work to push out the baby, this weakens her a lot.
Child bearing is also accompanied with loss of blood. Some women lose more blood than others. Bleeding after childbearing makes the woman aneamic and hence very weak. It is important to note that some even end up with tears especially if the baby was too large.
The pains and travails of Child bearing for women is very agonizing and leaves the woman very quick. I may not know the right medical terms to use in explaining this but I believe this is why women are weak after child bearing. They go through a lot.
A friend of mine once said the cry of the baby makes all the pain go away but they still need to rest, good food and lots of fluid and care to recuperate.
Here are a few tips language learners can use to improve their pronunciation. They would actually work, whether you're learning English or another foreign language.
First, practice listening to native speakers speaking English (or whatever target language you're learning). You can do this by watching your favorite movies and TV series, listening to music, listening to podcasts, and watching videos on Youtube.
The goal here is to expose you to as much of the spoken language as possible so you can hear it's nuances, spot the differences in similar sounding words, and make you more comfortable with the language. Other things to watch out for are the speaker's intonation and the melodic patterns present in the language. It's also a good idea to play the same video or audio on repeat, so you can really familiarize yourself with how to pronounce the words.
Second, record yourself on video talking. Language experts suggest recording yourself on video and not just audio so you can really observe the way you talk and pronounce words. The goal is to be self-aware of how you talk, so you can make the appropriate corrections. Proper pronunciation is not just about the sounds, after all. It's also about how you speak. So things like your breathing, the tension in your face, and movement of your mouth affects how you sound.
Basically, it requires that you find an actor or TV or movie character whose accent you like and imitate. Then, you choose a scene where the actor is speaking, watch the scene a few times, and memorize the lines. Then you just imitate how the actor or character would say his or her lines. The technique is more effective than simply listening and repeating what you've heard since you are expected to match the cadence and speech patterns of the role model you are imitating. It's also meant to make learning more fun and less stressful. You could also do this with real people, but you would have to record them talking and its best to ask for their permission first, you don't want to end up annoying them.
Before you can learn to speak, you must learn to listen. This is basically just you making a conscious effort to not just hear what someone with the pronunciation you want is saying, but to listen to exactly how he pronounces it. Many words in English are spelt differently but pronounced the same so listening will also help you identify which word is being used as per context. It gives you a mental image of what each word is supposed to sound like so that you start speaking, you know whether you're getting it right or wrong.
Then the next thing to do is to learn how to shape your mouth. To pronounce a word correctly, you must learn to shape your mouth and position your tongue the right way. A slight difference in this can produce an entirely different pronunciation and so you must practice well.
If possible, find a partner who will help you learn and practice with you. You can both be learning or he can be good at it but either way, having a friend will make learning easier
Recently science personnel's have been bringing so many formula for so many things i once saw a movie that the major character brought up a formula for love can life be quantified with a ?
You just copy pasted some info you took from different sites and made it as your own question on musing which is not OK, in my opinion. I see the you have a nice payout also for your thread so whoever upvoted you, if it was musing or not, just upvote plagiarism. I would advice you to create your own threads instead of copy pasting info from internet and address them as your questions. Here are two places where you can find the info from your question: 1. https://brainly.in/question/3919893 Which seems to be also a a copy paste info from the next source that I will give which is an article from The Guardian. 2.https://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/sep/01/20-big-questions-in-science. In this article if you go to question number six that has the name "Why do we dream?" you will find the information that you just copy pasted and introduced in your question which is exactly this: " We spend around a third of our lives sleeping. Considering how much time we spend doing it, you might think we’d know everything about it. But scientists are still searching for a complete explanation of why we sleep and dream. Subscribers to Sigmund Freud’s views believed dreams were expressions of unfulfilled wishes – often sexual – while others wonder whether dreams are anything but the random firings of a sleeping brain. Animal studies and advances in brain imaging have led us to a more complex understanding that suggests dreaming could play a role in memory, learning and emotions. " If you would have copied the following phrase also that states " Rats, for example, have been shown to replay their waking experiences in dreams, apparently helping them to solve complex tasks such as navigating mazes. " you would have copied the whole answer from an article from The Guardian and present it in musing-io as your own personal question. I don't know if you are aware or not, but plagiarized content and presented as your own is generally flagged on Steem. In musing-io I see you git an upvote, but be careful. The situation might change.
Okay i first read on it before posting actually i have been waiting to know the answer that's why i posted it
No. Life cannot be quantified with a formula. This is because there are too many variables to be considered and the way human beings are, the smallest thing can cause a massive change in attitude or behaviour. Plus humans are most of the time, distinctly different from one another. So this means that if you did some how manage to make a formula that quantifies life, it wouldn't be applicable to every single person.
Off the three new iPhones released, which do you think will be the consumer favourite?
I just want to know which one you think people will buy more between the Xs, Xr and the Xs max
The three new iPhones that came out, the iPhone Xr, iPhone Xs and the iPhone Xs max are all top tier flagship phones and deciding which one will be a consumer favourite is quite difficult. I think everything will boil down to personal preference and the price so I'll look at it from both aspects.
1. Price: In terms of price, I'd like to think that the Xr will be the more sought after device, even though 750 dollars isn't cheap, it gives people the typical iPhone experience for a fraction of the other iPhone prices. The draw backs of the phone are that it uses a HD plus IPS LCD display which is a bit of a downgrade from the iPhone X which has a full HD amoled screen. Apart from that and the fact that it doesn't have a dual rear camera(nobody's going to notice the difference) and it has larger bezels, it's pretty much on par with the other new iPhones. I think from a price point of view this will be the one to get.
2. Personal preference: Well in terms of personal preference we have to look at the three smartphones separately. The iPhone Xs will be for people who probably enjoyed their experience on the iPhone X and are looking to upgrade to a new iPhone within the same price range. I don't think that this will be the most purchased iPhone out of the three, it's basically the iPhone X with an 's' attached to it. The Xs max on the other hand is a natural competitor for the Samsung galaxy note 9 and it will probably appeal to people who have large hands or like large phones in general. Its got the biggest battery ever found on an iPhone(which is tiny compared to other smartphone brands), and the screen is a whopping 6.5" the largest ever on an iPhone. It's also got the largest storage option, so it's most definitely for people who would want a note 9 level space on an iPhone. Its price is the biggest hinderance to its sales because 1100-1400 dollars isn't for the faint of heart. The iPhone Xr on the other hand is cheaper and comes in multiple colours. Alot of people will probably prefer to spend less to get an iPhone seeing as there's not much difference between the old ones and the new ones, it may sport an LCD display but iPhone users are already used to that.
I strongly believe that even when it comes to personal preference the iPhone Xr will still be the consumer favourite. So overall, the iPhone Xr in my opinion, will be the consumer favourite.
What do you think about colleges offering crypto and blockchain tech courses to their students?

What is CRISPR genome editing?
It's great to finally see a real biology question here on Musing, so let me try to explain it as simple as possible. I am not a molecular biologist, but I learned a lot about this during my education, so hopefully I will be able to make it understandable.
The CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) genes are originally found in bacteria and archaea (these are pretty much just ancient version of bacteria) where they function to prevent the genetic material from getting damaged by forign viral and other invading genetic material.
What the CRISPR and CRISPR-associated (Cas) genes do is that they attach right in front of, and directly after, where the foreign genetic material has been injected on the DNA strand. And then it pretty much just cut the foreign genetic material away from the strand, and it will no longer be part of the genetic material during the next copy.
This was pretty much the extremely short version, and there's a lot of information available if you want to dive deeper into this.
Anyway, CRISPR/Cas9 is also a tool for genetic editing, and it boild down to a lot of the same processes as its original form. By using a guiding RNA (gRNA) molecule, scientists can guide the CRISPR/Cas9 genes to attach to wherever they want in the genetic material of an organism, and then use this to perform a deletion of this genetic material. This is a very quick and easy way of deactivating a gene, since most genes will stop functioning once a part of it is removed.
A modified version of this gene is also able to insert genetic material where the Cas9 gene attaches, which allows for even more advanged genetic editing. To keep this part very simple, the scientists pretty much just injects genetic material into the DNA strand after the original material has been removed, but before enzymes have been able to reattach the strands.
CRISPR/Cas9 is pretty complex, and there are thousands of details that we haven't look at in this post. There's even entire books written about this tool, so there are a lot of resources avilable at libraries if you want to learn more about it.
Thanks for such a great explanation valth! This should be heavily regulated because what happens when the genetic freaks take over? The regular, unedited kids will stand no chance. Genetic freaks will take over sports, science, business and quite possibly, everything else.
Sounds like another unfair advantage the rich will have against all over the world.
I agree with the idea of having it very heavily regulated, but right now it simply isn't. For some reason no one wants to discuss and figure out rules for this yet, but I'm sure we will have to do that in the future once we start seeing some "crazier" results.
We're not quite at the point where we can really genetically engineer humans or big animals yet, but we're able to do it with small invertebrates, bacteria and other small organisms. But it's only a matter of time before we have the knowledge needed to modify bigger organisms. (The reason behind this boils down to the length and complexity of the DNA in the organisms; shorter DNA is obviously a lot easier to research, understand, and modify).
This is a New Era in Molecular Biology. When you are looking for a precise, targeted changes to the genome of living cells the most efficient and reliable way is called crispr genome editing.
CRISPR on its own is a family of DNA sequences in bacteria and archaea
Is Math an invention or a discovery?
Mathematics is a simply a rational science. When you look and study mathematics you will agree that it either pure which is theortical or an applied. The applied part of mathematics make it to be called a science. There are many interconnected nature of various sciences, logics and some programming which all can be traced down to mathematical technique. There are hypothesis that needs to be proven before it can be approved. Also there are experiments and predictions, which make mathematics complicated and with serious effort and verification result is guarantee at the end.
Discovery is different from invention, because discovery is something that's naturally existing but unknown, then was later found out as a result of man's research.
But invention is something that's non existence before but actually created and carved out by the genuiuity of man.
In other words mathematics was invented by man, one of earliest mathematicians was abacus he invented the first sophisticated counting and calculating algorithm.
People like Pythagoras too invented the relationship between the length of a triangle.
In other words these are all invented so mathematics is invented not discovered
Whoever invented or discovered it, really made my school days crappy 😾
I help kids in primary school, and their main problem is always mathematics. For them, its an inventovery :)
Does old age necessarily make one mature?
It does not. What makes a man/woman mature is not the longivity of their life but how their personalty are mold. You can live a hundred years but don't have the proper mindset.
Even a 10-year old girl makes herself mature given life experience and having the proper attitude of mindset of everything. Maturity comes from the mind and heart, not from the length of living. As I mentioned, you can have a lot of experience in love but still don't have the right attitude and mindset, you can never be mature.
and..who even wants to? :) Old people (from my experience) are usually kids again....or kids as always.
I don't think maturity has anything to do with age, granted alot of people that are old are matured but there are equally alot of young people that are quite matured as well.
Let me put it this way, maturity is a function of how sensible you are as a person, for old people being sensible stems from a life time of experiences which include ups and downs, successes and mistakes. As people get older they tend to get more matured because of all the things they've seen in life but this doesn't mean that this holds true for everyone.
I've met alot of old people who are just as childish as they were when they were younger, they haven't learned anything at all over the years. People like that are living proof that maturity doesn't necessarily come with old age.
I also have friends who have amazed me with the level of maturity that they've displayed oflver the years and most of them aren't even up to 30. Becoming mature is a decision you have to make on your own, you can either continue being ignorant or you can wisen up.
Age doesn't necessarily make one mature, but experience is what makes you one mature to some extent, however in a few cases age can bring experience which makes one mature.
Nevertheless one can be very young and yet have so many life experience which can bring about maturity.
In a nutshell age doesn't connote maturity, However it definitely can bring experience which can Iin turn mean maturity but not in all cases
No. Age is just a number. What does make you mature though, is the things you have been through in life. How you dealth with the hard times and what you learned from them. How many mistakes you made, that shaped the person you are now. Times that you fell on the ground, but stood up. . Did you crumble under the pressure of life, or did you come out as a hero?
Those are the kind of things that make one more mature. Life experiences. Lessons learned.
That said, I've met people throughout my life that were much more mature than their age would suggest and in my experience they were one of the most valuable people that came into my life. Most of them have been through some really hard times but they came out as heroes. Much better people than they would have ever became if it wasn't for what they had to go through.
Depends on how one defines maturity. It is very subjective. Each and every person's expectations of mature behavior is different I feel. In terms of being able to understand and realize the emotional state of others, perform actions without the intention of hurting anyone's feelings, having a mental makeup where we are objective when it comes to work, the ability to operate without wanting anyone's approval and being able to look at the bigger picture always. To add to it and make it simpler, i guess we shouldn't act upon jealousy, irrational fear, greed, envy, our ego.. anything that is impulsive, self destructive and can be brought under the ambit of compulsive behavior. By this i do not mean that we should try and suppress such emotions, but rather make an effort to be self aware and understand the root of this behavior.
A lot of it has to do with upbringing probably and also the individual's willingness to evolve. Age is definitely not something that always determines a person's maturity. It is their willingness to learn and increase their self awareness.
Unfortunately no. Just like being young in age doesn't make one immature.
Maturity has a lot to do with experience, and how you deal with that experiences, how much you've learned from them. And some people never really learn a lot.
If a bullet is shot perpendicularly from the earth ; how far can it go?
We will use the following equation of motion to get the answer:
S = (v^2 -u^2)/2*g
where, S = Perpendicular distance traveled from the surface of the earth.
u = muzzle velocity of the bullet
v = final velocity (zero in our case)
g = acceleration due to gravity
So if the muzzle speed of the bullet was 700m/s then,
S = (0 - 700^2)/2*(-9.8) = 25000 meters
So if the bullet was fired at a speed of 700 meters per second than it would go to a height of 25 kilometers.
ASSUMPTIONS:
Thanks @harshcash! But will this equation apply if the bullet gets to outer space??
The equation would still apply as it relies mainly on gravity. and the object by not in contact with any solids so in outer space yes there wont be any atmosphere but the factors that have two be present is the speed of the bullet, the gravitational force of the earth at the point of firing and the angle of firing , the time the ending speed and the displacement all relies on those three factors. In outer space only the gravitational force would change, so the equation would still be applicable.
Thanks @omegagamerow. What happens if the gravitational force on the bullet becomes zero , due to distance from the earth?
What are some helpful rules to crypto-currency trading?
There are several things that you learn during your time in the crypto market. Although the basics of the trading remains the same but each person develops their own style to keep up with the markets. So I think it would be more helpful to cover the basic rules that can be universally applied.
Please keep in mind that you asked the question about trading crypto and not about generally investing in crypto, because there are differences between the two. So I am going to treat the question as I see it. Here are a few rules to keep in mind before you start trading crypto:
1. Invest only what you are willing to loose. This mantra doesn't really means that you don't trust the market. The idea behind this is to invest that amount of money, over which you can take cool, calm and objective decisions. People loose money over emotions and gain money by being objective and logical.
2. Research, research and more research. Take a careful look at the projects that you want to start investing in. You don't have to be a technical wiz to listen to videos and read reviews, so don't worry about your lack of knowledge of the crypto world. You'll learn as you go along.
3. Look up on the technical analysis of the price movement of the coins. TA is something that is absolutely essential if you want to become a good trader. From the biggest to the smallest traders, all use TA to get a future projection of markets.
4. Have a strategy - Day trading, weekly trading, monthly trading, etc. Stick to it and don't get greedy because it will cloud your judgement. Greed will make even a logical mind stupid.
Thanks for the tips.
First of all decentralized technology is still new to the world. Its market penetration and adoption is still negligible.
With the passage of time as more and more people are aware of this technology, it is becoming more and more popular.
Now even many countries has started accepting this as currency and many other are in the process of adopting.
So in future a more countries will jump into it and it will gain more trust of people. Its value will also increase.
Honestly speaking, crypto has still lot of potential in it. Especially if someone is targeting it for a longer period.
If someone intends to invest in this business, one should be very careful and have proper study of the crypto currencies, which he/she intend to buy.
One should also be very clear which type of investment he/she wants to make i.e short term or day trading, medium term and long term.
It seems that prices are at the lower side and eventually will go up if invested for the longer period. The point here is one should invest only that much of amount which he can afford to hold for a longer period.
If someone is will for short term, he should have proper market research before entering into some coins. It is also advisable to have some market to form an opinion.
Another point where many of us make a mistake is that one should not invest all the money in one coin instead invest should be diversified. analytical tools available in the
One should not make all the investment at once in one time instead investment should be made in steps.
What is the main theme of Game of Thrones?
The main theme of game of thrones is that doing good will get you killed. Good guys die. That's just the way the world works. It's a true and proper reflection of the bitter truth of this world. The bad people always win because they play dirty and the good guys keep losing because they don't do what needs to be done to win.
But at the same time the series also shows that being bad isn't always perfect because karma catches up with everyone. And as such, every antagonist in the series eventually dies a gruesome death that matches the cruel way they have lived their lives. This is seen in Geoffrey's choking to death, little finger, the silent killer getting his throat slit open and Ramsey Bolton, the brutal murderer getting eaten by dogs.
These themes and the show help to represent the real world and the way it works in a way that no other series of movie does. Can't wait for the next season to come out
The main theme of "Game of thrones" is politics and howbeit it has other theme as well and when you take a lot at everything the series revolved around you will noticed it's mainly politics and why do I say this?
We could see a possible hunt for the people trying to sit on the iron throne from Cersi Lannister to Danneryis Tagearyn the betrayal by Euron greyjoy and how he killed his brother to take over the salt throne is evidence of political corruption, the unruly desire for power and the insatiable urge to worship.
There is also themes like sorcery, magic, archaic believe in things like dragon, incest, prostitution acute nudity and the way of life of people who lived in the earliest centuries a very long time ago.
However the plot of the series centres on politics and the second will be political corruption and betrayal
Game of Thrones Theme", also referred to as "Game of Thrones Main Title Theme", is the theme music of the television series Game of Thrones. It plays during the title sequence and was composed by Ramin Djawadi in 2011, after series creator David Benioff and D. B. Weiss approached him requesting a theme
How Brave browser is different from Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome?
If I'm not mistaken, Brave Browser is one of the projects of BAT or basic ant token, which is one of the cryptocurrencies. Using Brave Browser allows you to earn BAT tokens while using it.
But the great thing about Brave browser is it a fast and private web browser with an ad blocker. This feature allows the user to consume lesser mobile data than using the conventional web browsers.
Is Duckduckgo search engine safer than Google and Yahoo?
Define safer. If safer means protecting you from being data mined and your personal information sold then yes, it is safer! In the case of malicious attacks its the same as Google, or any other browser but, what separates DuckDuckGo from others is that it doesn't track you while you browse. Unlike other popular search engines, especially Google, that collect, store and sell its users private information, Duckduckgo protects your privacy against the global mass surveillance.
DuckDuckGo describes itself as "the search engine that doesn't track you". They promise not to use cookies to follow its users and say that they don't collect any of our personal information. Even your IP address is hidden when you use DuckDuckGo.
This depends on your definition of safe.
In terms of your computer being anymore safe from malicious attacks than it already is, would not be dependent solely on your search engine. Really, your search engine offers barely any protection at all against malicious attacks.
In terms of tracking, duckduckgo should offer you the most protection in this sense.
If anonymity is your goal, you will need to do more than just use duckduckgo. Google Chrome stores every page you visit, (unless in incognito mode I believe, and I wouldn't be foolish enough to believe it's true incognito). Your searches will all be saved in your browsing history. This isn't privacy oriented IMO.
So, if by safe you mean anon, you're definitely going to need to do some research, use a browser such as firefox, and start reading about browser config, because you will need to change a few settings ;)
Hope this answer helps!
How is globalization affecting culture around the world?
You traveled to a new city with 600 km/h speed by a Japanese bullet train, sit back in a American restaurant and ordered some Italian foods and they served on Chinese plates - this can be possible of globalisation!
Despite of having so many good effects it also has some bad effects on a native cultures of some countries :
● Today's youths of some countries including India feel sham to speak their mother tongue. They afraid to be called rustic, in a result so many native languages loosing their importance because of globalisation. Many health issues arise to prefer imported junk food than native foods. Farmers and labours lost their job because of some machines.
● Globalisation made us highly diplomatic, we forget our old traditions and preferring new professionalism . Today, joint family is a subject of surprise specially for the citizens of metropolitan cities. Grandparents become guests to their child's house and loose the natural love and respect of their grandchild because of nuclear familisation.
● Our old traditions teach us to keep a bit distance between different genders in other side globalisation has mixed them up and risen physical relationship before marriage. Similarly marriage lost its importance because of lots number of divorces, now it has become a official relationship than to be relation of two hearts.
Overall, our native culture is really affected badly by globalisation in respect of dressing, in respect of foods, in respect of speaking, in respect of respecting and many more.
What about Cryptocurrency inspires you or catches your interest ?
I have always loved the idea of earning cryptocurrency for many years. It inspires me because of the flux with the rise and fall. Though sometimes not too stable withing the value of this kind of currency, but the main insipration for my love of it is I feel like I am duping the government. The idea that it isn't concidered part of the tax world, meaning I get keep all I earned. Along with the bartering system that I tend to live by, cryto feels like just that.
I wish I had mining server up and running 24/7, but the only access to internet is wifi at the library. Maybe soon this will change and I can be in the market for many types of cryto.
The main reason why I have a great hope on Cryptocurrencies is the technology behind it. I strongly believe that that Blockchain can be a revolutionary future. We are just currently in the starting stages. And fortunately I feel we are early adopters of this technology.
There are also so many drawbacks as well that we have to agree. Since we are in beta stages, we have to be patient until this is stablized.
Also, at this point in time we should not be worrying about the price of cryptocurrencies. They will see lots of ups and downs. We will be able to gain good hold of it only if we hold it for a longer period of time.
Initially I was attracted towards Crypto currencies because of highly volatile.
It seem to be an easy money.
Decentralized technology is still new to the world. Its market penetration and adoption is still negligible.
With the passage of time as more and more people are aware of this technology, it is becoming more and more popular.
Now even many countries has started accepting this as currency and many other are in the process of adopting.
So in future a more countries will jump into it and it will gain more trust of people. Its value will also increase.
and then I also attracted toward Steemit and then musing and I found it more interesting.
We can make some passive income through it without any investment.
What are the best travel destinations in your country or region of your country?
Name the country, region and destination.
Here in the United States, out of all the places I've been I can only narrow it down to two. And that is because they are totally, totally different places. However, I have not been everywhere in the country, despite driving cross country over a dozen times. Nor have I fully experienced many places I've been. But I feel pretty strongly about these and I know there are others out there who would back me up.
In terms of nature, that's a really hard one. There's a ton of amazing geography throughout the states, hidden between the piles of crumbling d-bags. A few years ago, I got a chance to visit Yellowstone National Park while driving cross country. Of course, our timing was off, and we ended up driving through it mostly at night. But it was still cool- and free! Haha. When we entered there were *walls* of snow, despite it being pretty late in the season. There was also a nice outhouse with feces smeared all over the walls.
Still, though, it was beautiful. Just bad timing. Another time I got snowed out of one of the coolest places in the states was when a group of friends and I decided to go 6 hours out of our way while driving cross country to visit the Grand Canyon. When we got there, however, we encountered a whiteout snowstorm-something that rarely ever happens there, apparently. I got luckier my second time though, and got to enjoy it with my ex in some beautiful, beautiful weather.
There are a ton of other beautiful places in the states(I refuse to capitalize that), but I think what really tops the charts for me in terms of all the places I've been is the Oregon coast. It. is. amazing.
Sure, the entire west coast is amazing. And I don't mean like as a whole- I mean literally the coastline. The famous Route 1(I think?) that follows down the California drive is truly one of the most beautiful scenic routes I've ever been on. Although make sure to fill up when you can; there's a long stretch with only one "town"(station) that charges up to 3x the price of gas. Just cause they can!
But yeah. The Oregon coast. One of the most amazing places I've ever been. If you ever get the chance I strongly suggest experiencing it.
Oregon doesn't have a ton of culture, though. Sure, Portland is pretty cool, and there are a ton of amazing towns dotted around; but I've heard the state as a whole is a little, well, "snobby". In terms of culture, I'd say the coolest place by far that I have been to in the continental US is New Orleans, LA.
New Orleans is so cool! There is so much going on and so much interesting architecture and history. I literally don't think it would be possible to get bored in New Orleans. I would definitely want to try to live there at some point if it wasn't for the inability to access snow and the fact that my black/brown dog doesn't want to be in that sort of heat.
There are a ton of other cool places here. And this is coming from someone who hates our politics; don't get me confused as a patriot. Both Hawaii and Alaska are apparently amazing.
In a few weeks I'm about to embark on a multiple year trip around the country with my dog so I'm sure I'll be seeing plenty more places! I'll be posting our journeys here if you have any interest in checking it out and seeing some of the places we get to experience.
Here in the Philippines we have numerous beauty spots you can visit.
If you've seen in the map, we are consist of islands that is why one of our major travel destinations are the beaches. I can proudly say that our beaches are really beautiful and you can view marine animals such as whale, dolphin and fishes swimming, you can even swim with them.
Another is our nature. In the province a lot of green areas can be seen. Fresh air and calm vibes. We also have the one of the most tiny monkeys in the world, the tarsier. And a lot more animals that is only seen in the country.
We also have the chocolate hills, it is known to be called chocolate because once the summer is on it's peak the grass turns brown and the hills will look like chocolates.
There are a few old buildings that are still standing nowadays. It reminds us of all times and served as a preservation of the past.
Overall our country is one of the best in terms of natural resources. It's just that some are exploiting it. I just hope that the people will always protect nature! We have so much potential in terms of tourist destinations.
The ring of Kerry in Ireland has everything Ireland has to offer . Stunning views and pubs with great atmosphere . Just a great place to visit
In Belgium, that is:
Here in Nigeria, there are a lot of places worth visiting. Personally I've been to few but I'd try to make a list of those I've been to and those I've heard of and planning to go to.
The first on the list is the Ikogosi warm water and cold water spring at Ekiti. The major side attraction of this destination is you get to witness the wonders of nature, where a singular source of water is producing both warm water and cold water, meeting at the same point.
The second on this list is the olumo rock in Abekokuta. Here you witness a natural formation of rocks and the beauty of nature all around it.
Thirdly, we have the Palace of the Ooni of Ife and the Ife kingdom. This is believed to be the headquarters of the Yoruba kingdom and the origin of the Yoruba people..
Further more, you can visit places like the Yankari games reserve, Obudu Cattle Ranch, the benin Kingdom, the Tomb of Bilikis Sungbo or Sungbo Eredo believed to be the Biblical Queen of Sheba who visited king Solomon, Zuma Rock in Abuja, Lekki Conservation Centre in lagos, whispering palms in Badagry, the Slave trade centre and the place of no return in Badagry, the ibadan Zoo etc.
These are just few out of the many places you can visit in Nigeria. I couldn't list them all because it's much.
You can visit to learn of our history, past, present and witness the harmony of Nature in Nigeria.
A country with good people who never forgets their origin and a great nation
There are plenty of them in Indonesia depending your interests. Since indonesia is an archipelago country, it translates as having multiple islands with different characteristic. However, I am going to narrow it down by picking major islands in Indonesia.
Here's my version of navigating your way through Indonesia.
What's the worst injury you have ever sustained and how have you recovered from it?
Do you think fish can hibernate?
There are lots of videos available in Youtube that justifies how a fish can hibernate. Do you buy this theory?
Is HF20 necessary on steem-blockchain ?
If what you mean by "necessary" is required to be done, then NO. It's honestly not that required for the blockchain to upgrade to HF20. As a matter of fact, we could literally just be content with HF19 and use it for years. This is also the reason why a supermajority of the top witnesses (17 out of 21) needs to reach a consensus first before it pushes through to know if it is really needed.
However there is no denying that there are major issues right now that prevents Steem from gaining mass adoption, one of which is the Creation of New Accounts. HF20 (codenamed Velocity) tries to provide a solution for this by their discounted account creation tokens. There is also the issue of spammers spamming the blockchain and is mostly the reason why "Resource Credits" (CR) will be introduced by the next hard fork. All are improvements that will make Steem a better and stable platform and a platform that will be ready for mass adoption.
So while it isn't really necessary to do another Hard Fork, it is however needed for long-term goals. To provide solutions to the current problems Steem is experiencing and make Steem a much more stable and great platform.
Absolutely, it is necessary since the growth of steem depends on this. With the HF20 that is planned to take place on September 25 of this year, several aspects that have flaws or need updating within the chain of steem blocks will be improved, some changes that will occur during the HF20 are:
to mention a few, (you can see more about the HF20 from the following link: https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/steem-velocity-hardfork-hardfork-20
In addition, the HF20 is also necessary to receive the SMTs that will add value to the chain of steem blocks through the different DAPPS that are planned to be created or that are already created and are waiting for the development of SMT to be completed, which will happen in the first quarter of next year.
What percentage of your savings would you put in crypto right now thinking that a new bull run with new ATHs would be three months from now?
I think putting in like 20% of my current savings wouldn't be a bad idea. There's a very good chance that the market is going to mimic what happened last year and converting some of your savings into something like BTC which will most probably lead the charge if there's going to be a bull run.
Someone close to me advised me to prepare my mind for a cheating husband, because all men must cheat on their wives, this got me thinking and I want to know if it's certain for a man to cheat on his wife?
I get so upset when in hear things like this because it's statements like this that actually encourage men to go out and cheat.
No matter the circumstance, cheating is never and should never be exceptable!!! If you give your husband the impression that you'll forgive him if he cheats then I guarantee you, he's going to cheat. It's not burned into the male DNA to cheat, it's something that society has gradually encouraged and nortured in the minds of all men and now even women, well let me tell you that it's not true, not all men cheat
My darling, do not settle for a cheating man, do your research on your boyfriend before you decide to make him your husband and don't let what friends who have been brainwashed by society taint what you believe. Not every man cheats, if you expect your man to cheat then you're only going to end up making him cheat even if he has no plan of cheating. All men aren't the same and if a man cheats in a marriage then I don't think he's worth staying with.
Be loyal to your partner and expect nothing less from them, if who ever you're with can't be loyal to you and only you then push them to the side and find someone who will, don't ever accept that mindset that whoever you're with will cheat, because you devalue your worth as a woman when you do so. You're a queen, and no queen deserves to be cheated on, no queen should put up with that no matter what.
I disagree with the statement that all the men cheat.
It not true, not everyone has the same habits.
Cheating depends on the personal habits of the individual whether they are men or women.
If I have been cheated by a man or woman it doesn’t mean that everyman or everywoman is cheating.
If a man or a woman is cheating his partner then reasons must be looked into.
However, following qualities should be looked into while selecting a partner:-
Trustworthy: no relation can be strong if partner do not have trust on each other.
Maturity: your partner should be mature enough to stand with you in difficulties.
Openness: partners should be open to each other.
Honesty: without honesty no relation could be last longer.
Respect: partner should have respect for each other.
Love and affection: Love and affection is the most important quality of partners.
I hear ya! Preach on!
No, it's not. It's never certain. I can say in all honesty that I've never cheaten on my wife since we're together.
I do speak for myself now though, I know there are men who cheat, but there are also a lot of men like me, who don't.
But, if you live in your relationship with the idea that he will cheat you anyway, and that you'd better deal with it, it will show in your relationship. You will never be fully 'into' it, because you are afraid to get hurt. And if he feels that you are not really into the relationship, he might go looking for that elsewhere.
That's what is called a self-fulfilling prophecy, or manifestation. It happens because you think it will.
But be careful, this does NOT mean that if your husband cheats on you, that it is by definition your fault! Nor is this an excuse for men to cheat! What I mean to say is that if you want a loving and healthy relationship, you both need to be in it whole heartedly.
Was the war of Karbala a war for humanity rather than religious purposes?
The karbala war is a war that takes place in the same people, this war can be called the civil war in the second Islam which took place around the 10th of Muharram.
This war was caused by the struggle for the Caliphate carried out by the Umayyads who at that time declared themselves as the unilateral Khalifah of the Muslims.
Karbala is a war over the right of the Ahlul Bait (the family of the Messenger of Allah) that happened because it was a denial made by the Umayyad family by giving up the position of Caliph to his son, Yazid. The power of the Muawiyah Dynasty was planned since the reign of Umar and reached the peak in the reign of Hasan as, son of Ali ibn Abu Talib. At first Hasan did not want to pledge allegiance to Muawiyah, but for the sake of the salvation of the people and the widespread slander, Hasan was forced to pledge allegiance to Muawiyah.
When will SMTs be launched on Steemit? ?
Yes, probably as soon as HardFork20 (HF20) is released and accepted by witness consensus. Unless the STEEM price drops drastically further between now and Sept. 25th, which would increase the debt ratio, SBD will printed again once HF20 has been adopted by the witnesses.
This is because HF 20 changes the debt correction levels to happen only between 9-10% of debt, rather than to kick in as soon as 2% already.
Currently the debt correction happens according to this rule set (source @timcliff post linked below):
> When the STEEM/SBD debt ratio is between 0% and 2%: 0% STEEM, 100% SBD.
> When the STEEM/SBD debt ratio is between 2% and 5%: linearly changes from 0% STEEM, 100% SBD to 100% STEEM, 0% SBD.
> When the STEEM/SBD debt ratio is greater than 5%: 100% STEEM, 0% SBD.
In HF20 the debt correction will happen only starting at 9% (source Steemitblog):
> Under the new rules, SBD tokens will continue to be printed unless/until the debt ratio reaches 9% of the STEEM market cap. Between 9% and 10%, liquid payouts will shift linearly from paying 100% SBD and 0% STEEM at 9%, to paying 0% SBD and 100% STEEM at 10%.
Top witness @timcliff has an excellent explanation of SBD in this post: https://steemit.com/sbd/@timcliff/sbd-explained
Do you think a beautiful model has an easier life than an average looking person ?
Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, Which is the best browser for both smartphones and computers?
If you were to ask me this ten years ago, I would have said Mozilla.
Today I prefer Chrome for 100 % of my computing. Why this is, is very simple for me.
Chrome makes it easy to save passwords, bookmark pages, add nice extensions, ect.
You can perform these operations with Mozilla as well, but Chrome syncs very nicely with your google account, as well as your devices that are connected to google. For this reason, Chrome has become the easy choice for me, due to convenience.
If you are more privacy oriented, I would choose Mozilla, because the browser is very customizable, and in my experience, modifying the browser config is quite easy.
I hope this answer helps!
That's a bit like asking: which one do you prefer, Mercedes, or BMW? Both are great browsers, and both alternate to being "the best one", depending on the versions, or depending on what you feel is important to you.
For me, privacy is important. And Google (who owns and develops Chrome) is not really all that big about privacy.
So, if yo uask me, the best browser is Firefox.
Mozilla Firefox can be the best choice
So far Firefox is often referred to as a tough competitor of Chrome because it has some promising features
Here are the advantages of Firefox compared to Chrome
1. Firefox Is Better In Privacy Than Chrome.
Surely you agree that privacy is one that we should prioritize. If you are one of those people who think privacy is important then Chrome won't suit you.
because it can be ascertained that Google has monitored you and will track everything in your account to ensure that the ads targeted to you are the most relevant. Chrome will always ask you to associate applications with Google ID
so that it can synchronize your data, while in Firefox these things will not happen.
2. Firefox is easy to operate.
Firefox is a browser that is very easy to use when compared to Chrome. You can prove this when in Chrome you will find lots of navigation,
especially when many tabs are open, the elements will start to shrink with the new tab and make it impossible for you to know the information from each tab Unlike Firefox, which will find the user interface in the form of scroll side (side scroll) which will really help you scroll with the mouse.
3. Chrome Eat lots of RAM.
RAM has a function as a memory for temporary storage when the computer is run and can be accessed randomly. Although Chrome offers the fastest page rendering, it turns out that behind fast rendering has the effect of consuming a lot of RAM
4. Firefox Is Equipped With Default Reader Mode
Don't expect more on Chrome because about the Reader mode you won't find in Chrome
But otherwise this Reader mode will be present and you can find it in Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Reader mode certainly makes our eyes more comfortable when looking at the screen.
We know that there's no doubt about the greatness of Chrome that has been equipped with dozens of extensions, But you will find Firefox add-ons that are exclusive to this browser only. One of them is the MoScript extension that is only available for Firefox users.
Thus reviews of the advantages you get from Mozilla Firefox when compared to Google Chrome, Hopefully the review above can be a reference for those of you who are choosing a browser with good privacy, Mozilla Firefox can be an option,
I will go with chrome
I once lost the file I stored my steemit password in but with the aid of Chrome browser I was able to get it back.
Chrome saves data and it also good for book marking.
With chrome browser one can download a page and read it when offline
It's a good means for saving passwords and it's secured
What life skills are rarely taught but extremely useful?
Time and Money Management Skills!!! I think that these two life skills should be taught to young adults.
The problem with today's generation is that they are so attracted to new technologies and gadgets that when one is released, they go immediately purchase and buy it online. All for the sake of being part of the "cool" one.
While it is no major cause of concern when they have their parents on their side, it will become a huge problem the moment they go out solo in the outside world.
Having a good knowledge on how to manage your money and time is probably the best life skill one should have in today's time as it allows one to survive and live a stress-free life without worrying too much nor expecting too much about anything.
If one can manage his time and money properly, then he's all set for the outside world.
This may sound like a funny one, but it's a pet peeve of mine
Children are not taught at a young age how to interact with animals. As a dog lover/owner most of my life I can not tell you how horrified I am when little kids run up to my dogs on walks and want to smother or come over the top at them
It might not seem a valuable skill, but it is definitely one that more people need to learn. Dog's on leashes are already in a defensive state of mind, they know they can't escape, or run away from a situation. A dog should never be approached at a run, yelling, hands raised etc. Most dogs, especially nervous or skittish ones, will take this as a threat to one degree or another
Please teach your children to approach any animal slowly, cautiously, never approach with your hands above the dog's head, always have them lower to the ground. Give the dog a chance to smell/sniff you and decide if you are OK. If a dog backs away from you, do not push the encounter.
Skills like that should be taught to every child in my opinion
3 Social Skills that are very important for children who are rarely taught
1. Sharing Skills
Many students have difficulty sharing time and materials. This complication can bring serious management problems during cooperative learning lessons. Become a boss against other students, talk endlessly, and doing all the group work yourself are examples of students' inability to share. Dominant students are often carried out consciously and unknowingly due to their behavior towards other students or their group work.
2. Participatory Skills
Some students who dominate group activities, other students even do not want or cannot participate. Sometimes students avoid group work out of shame. Often shy students are very smart and can work alone well or with others. Students who are excluded are other types of students who have difficulty participating in group activities. Finally, there are certain students who choose, for any reason, to work alone and refuse to participate in cooperative group activities.
3. Communication Skills
everyone has experienced difficulties in giving ideas or feelings so that ideas or feelings are perceived accurately by listeners, and accurately, people experience the same difficulties in listening and interpreting what others say to us. Cooperative groups cannot function effectively if the group's work is marked by miscommunication.
There are four communication skills to avoid miscommunication, which is to repeat with their own sentences, describe behavior, describe feelings, and check impressions. These four skills are important and should be taught to students to facilitate communication in group settings.
In addition to everything else listed, just....how to do basic things. Especially for men whose biggest reason for not doing very basic things is that they don't know how/were never taught.
I'm talking how to cook stuff that's not from a box, or at least how to spice up boxed stuff like how a few spices and some veggies added to pre-packaged ramen can make it not only more filling but tastier and at least somewhat healthier.
I'm talking how to do laundry, something I see a lot of adults just not knowing how to do. Why it's important to separate your whites and colors, what the different tags mean, how to make your own laundry detergent for cheaper than the store stuff.
While we're on clothing, teaching how to hem/adjust clothes and do repair jobs is a very useful skill that I've never seen taught unless one parent already knows how or special classes are taken but it should be a more widely taught skill. Saves loads of money if you can go shopping and find something a little too big for you but know how to adjust it to fit, especially if you're thrift shopping.
Basic troubleshooting for household appliances is also something useful but almost never taught. I know how to reset our garbage disposal if it stops working, for example. I know how to unclog just about any drain with simple home remedies. And I know when it's time to call a professional after I've tried a few different things that do the trick 98% of the time so I can save time and money doing those first.
Also how to clean stuff. Effective ways to vacuum and do dishes, how to clean a toilet and bath tub, those kinds of things.
All stuff that the internet taught me more than my mother or school or any other source and I had to adjust to as an adult. And all very useful skills that are actually practical for the real world regardless of your job or just about anything else.
What are some of the dangerous substances to humans that are commonly found in vaccines?
Vaccines have been known right from time to be safe, in the present day, the news and government say they are safe. But taking a closer look at vaccines, we see that there is much more toworried about.
Chemicals which make up the ingredients of vaccines are dangerous toxins known as mutagens and carcinogens. These substances causes mutations of the cells. In small quantities they are harmless but accumulatively they are dangerous. Children take up to 20 vaccines before they are five and these toxins can lead to death or brain damage.
Some of these toxins include
Aluminum phosphate, which is a corrosive acid
Aluminum sulphate which is a highly carcinogenic chemical and corrosive acid especially when mixed with water.
Thimerosal which is 46.9% mercury and is the second most toxic element on earth next to platinum and is a neuro toxin.
Acetone which is used as a solvent for oaints and oils and in the manufacturing of plastics.
Do you have tattoos? If so, do you have tips / things not to do for someone who wants to have one ?
To do:
Watch the tattooist's book to see his work
Follow or at least take into account the tattoo artist's recommendations on size, location, details, etc ...
Once the work is done, follow the tattoo artist's instructions carefully regarding the care of a fresh tattoo.
Not to do:
Haggle. If the price does not suit you, try the competition.
Drink alcohol before, during, or after the tattoo.
Giggling, squirming, screaming, complaining. Clench your teeth and wait for it to pass, it probably will not be the worst pain of your life.
Assume that the tattoo artist will start or finish on time. The lack of punctuality is a chronic disease of tattoo artists.
Go to the beach, the pool, or the sun in the weeks following the tattoo.
Recommended:
If you are happy with your tattoo, let it know.
As at Musing, BNBR stands up to the tattoo artist, his workplace, his colleagues and clients.
In most cases, avoid visible and non-concealable tattoos on the face, neck, hands, etc.
Avoid the names of your girlfriend or boyfriend, the signs of infinity, the portraits of your kids or your dogs.
Do not overeat!
How to make beer at home?
Hello friends, I was seeing many brands of craft beer, and I thought it was a very interesting world to make this homebrew made by hand.
I like beer is very delicious, but I always thought that it would not give my touch.
Hi dude considered one of the oldest alcoholic beverages in the world, beer appeared 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia. Made from cereals such as barley and spelled, this beverage was then called "Sikaru". Nowadays, beer is mainly composed of malt, hops, yeasts and water. For lovers of this drink, we offer in this tutorial to make it yourself.
Before you start making your own beer, you need to get a kit that includes the following equipment:
- A large brewing container and its lid,
- A clarifier,
- a test tube,
- A densimeter for beer,
- a sticker thermometer,
- A mixing spatula
- A tap of withdrawal.
All the ingredients necessary for the preparation of beer are also included in the kit, such as sugar, malt concentrate and yeast.
Take the material out of its packaging and wash each equipment with tap water.
We do not recommend the use of cleaning products containing bleach.
Instead, you can opt for neutral dishwashing liquid.
Avoid drying material with rigid tissue.
Then place the brew bucket on your worktop.
Insert the draw-off tap into the opening on the container body and then glue the self-adhesive thermometer onto it.
Knowing that there is a lot of suffering in the world, how can one find his inner peace?
With everything that is happening in our world today, it is logical and understandable that so many people will ask this question. All you need to do is focus on yourself and judge what your actiins contribute to the whole situatiin and world. Are your actions those that try to make the situatiin better or worse? This is the question you must answer to have your inner peace in the World.
The world id going through tough times and it takes brave people to do something no matrer how little to change it. For example, there is the problem of massive hunger and if you can't seem to have your inner peace seeing this then that simply means the responsibility is falling on you to do something to change the situation. It can be by sharing with someone in need around you.
The whole thing revolves around you listening to that inner voice. The reason you can't have your inner peace is simply because there is an issue that warrants your attention but you ignore it or you are hesistant to flow with the feeling and do that which you must do. There is something that is disturbing you and that is why you can't have your inner peace. All you need to do is address it or solve it and that will be the source of your inner peace.
We all need inner peace but if i must tell you, genuine inner peace can only come from one true source. Only Jesus Christ can really give us eternal peace of mind.
Is it okay to value your pet's life than that of another human being?
No, not in the slightest, human life is far more precious than the lives of any pet.
Pets may be dear to us but every pet can be replaced and as sad as that sounds it's the truth. You can literally go to the pet store and adopt a new one but a human being can't be replaced so easily.
A father cannot be replaced in the life of a child and a child cannot be replaced in the eyes of a parent. Yes we form strong bonds with our pets and animals, I should know, I have a few myself but their lives can never matter more than another humans life. Over the course of a lifetime, most people will outlive their pets and get new ones then outlive them again. If you out live a brother, a lover, a cousin or whoever, you can't replace them with someone else.
If a choice was to be made between a pet life and another human being, just remember that a pet can be replaced with another one that looks and will probably behave like the other one, but a human being cannot be replaced so easily.
This is a very sensitive issue but I guess with musing, topics like this are healthy.
One thing I'd like to remind is even if it's a pet, or another living thing - it is still life. It's all about how thinking a lot of circumstances and the type of people who would you like to react.
The fact is, people have different judgment and everyone has their opinion. For me, it depends on the situation and of course your personal preference. While most of the time we should follow the society's moral and standard, everyone would expect human beings should be treated with utmost care.
But to ourselves and the people who understand our burden, valuing our pet's life is more of a "feeling" rather than importance.
That's a very big no, No matter how much attachment you have towards that pet, it shouldn't be valued over the life of another human being like yourself.
It's all shades of wrong, and simply means you see other humans as lesser beings whose lives are worthless than that of your pet.
In my opinion, anybody that values the life of a pet over the life of another human being no matter the circumstances is capable of murder.
In a nutshell, no it's not okay to value the life of your let over that of another human
What is an ICE car ?
Yes, I could look this up, but if this gets answered, we have it documented on musing.
"ICEV" in automotive engineering is the abbreviation of Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle.
So an ICE car Is a car that uses a fuel source to power itself. Recently people started referring petrol/diesel cars as ICE because of the need to differentiate between cars with newer technologies such as an EV (Electric Vehicle), HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle), FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle) and the likes.
I guess that the acronym ICE stands for 'Internal Combustion Engine'. That's the only way that the acronym ICE makes sense in front of the word 'car'.
Usually cars all have internal combustion engines, but with the recent boost in electric cars the difference between them is becoming more prominent in media by specification of the type of car it is - 'electric' or 'ICE'.
Is There a Possibility That Musing Upvote Based on Prejudice And Self-opinionatedness?
I don't think so, the musing curators upvote posts in a completely non-biased way. Every post is read and evaluated based on whether or not it's relevant to the question and how much knowledge has been passed across and how much effort was put into answering the question.
I believe that having your opinion of whether something is right or wrong is a fundamental part of being human. It's people's opinions that basically run steemit, if I feel that your answer isn't right or isn't in line with the context of the question asked then I won't vote your post.
There's more than one curator on musing and if they agree that an answer is correct then it most probably is. Their opinions matter and that's why they're curators, there's no prejudice whatsoever, if your answers are quality then they will get a quality upvote.
How could have the The Simpsons and many other TV shows and cartoons predict 9/11 and show the towers collapse years before it happened? Predictive programming?
Maybe they did not predict the future. They already know what is going to happen and they wanted to show their power with placing them into some cartoons basicly.
Here is the conspiracy theory: They are controlling the world and they have a strong power. By the way, I do not know who they are (I do not want to be a target 🤫).
Think about it when you have a very strong power, you want to show it every one right. It is the human nature. They love to show their power and controlling strength. Therefore, they place some signature as an artist and they wait audience to find out these signatures over events.
When people find out these signatures later on, they are proud and happy. They are now known by huge audience.
Just thinking and interpreting. It is conspiracy theory after all. 🤔🤨🤔😨
They are not predictions, they are simple coincidences that used logic and that unwittingly became reality.
Being a world-known building, it was at risk of disasters and terrorist attacks from the beginning, since if someone particular or some criminal or terrorist organization wants to be noticed, it must attack very important places or places.
As were the twin towers, it could have been any other well-known building that had a great symbolic and patrimonial value for the nation.
How can you best identify your source of inspiration ?
Source of inspiration nice question 🖐️
I identify my source of inspiration is my curiosity. I am very curious person and l love learning.
I ask lots of questions and wonder too many things. All of these things bring me knowledge. When I have right knowledge, I could use it in right places. Inspiration comes with this curiosity and my learning appetite.
Another source could be my wish to see people happy. I like to solve people's problem and see the smile. These problems are small to solve for me, but very stressful for them.
With my learning skills, I could search and read their problem and present best thing I find as a result.
The last one is being hungry to success. I love learning and being successful in a field. For this I have enough patience and perseverance.
These give me inspirations and also my baby (My lovely little baby more powerful than others :) )
I best describe my source of inspiration as unshakable because it comes from within me. I have this believe right from my childhood that **you as a person have greater role to play in achieving whatever you want to actualize in life.** There is nothing like strength from within, a strong believe that everything and anything can be achieved if only you've made up your mind, you will surely conquer.
Why is the inflation rate so high in Venezuela? How to reduce it?
What I think it is, is that the government got a little greedy. People couldn't pay their basic necessities, so the economy couldn't grow because people don't have enough money to let it grow. So the government doesn't get enough money to survive because for them, everything is also too expensive. So what do they do, they print more money to afford their luxuries, and by doing so, creating more existing money, and that means that the money loses more value, and for the people things become more expensive, also for the government, so they print again more money and by doing so, you get returning circle.
If the government wasn't greedy in the first place and didn't try to regulate people lives as far as deciding what they can and cant eat, this didn't happened. Anyway, that is just an speculation, but I have seen it many times, that is what socialism does to a country. The government just want to control people, and have power over them, and also keep their luxury lifestyles.
Again, all speculations.
inflation rate is so high because the country is not able to repay the debt in time. So what is does, is they artificially make the price of their fiat currency lower, so the loan they have is also lower. But what they do with lower price of their own currency, is high interest rate. Too high. So high, it is not even acceptable any more. They could reduce inflation rate if country repays all of their debt or if their debt will be canceled ( just like Germany's debt was canceled in 1953)
In the end: you can not fake the market on all sides. Markets always slap you back, in one way or the other
Why Bitcoin is banned in India?
India in no way prohibits cryptocurrencies or their trade on the stock market. Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley delivered the state budget for 2018-2019 when he touched on crypto problems and their use in the country.
Jaitley said:
"The government does not consider crypto as legal currency or coins and will take all measures to eliminate crypto use in financing unauthorized activities or as part of the payment system. "
Points to remember from the statement are:
Indian authorities do not recognize bitcoin as a legal tender. The Indian government will crack down on the use of cryptocurrency in illegal activities and; Indian authorities will prevent people from using cryptocurrencies as a payment instrument.
Jaitley did not comment on the ban on krypton, or reported a crackdown on cryptocurrency trading. A side note - Indian tax authorities actually use cryptocurrency trading to hunt down tax evaders.
In April, the Reserve Bank of India gave banks three months to cease any activity with cryptocurrencies. The Supreme Court stood by the RBI’s blanket ban on crypto transactions despite the central bankers admitting that they had no guidance and did no research on blockchain or cryptocurrencies when deciding their new policy. (They had no clue how it works, they just wanted Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency OUT of the system, so they can peacefully continue to steal money from average people - every day...)
However, it should be of no surprise that crypto has been dismissed out of hand by Indian authorities as they are in the process of the world’s largest IT project - phasing cash out of its economy and digitizing its currency.
Meanwhile, the Indian rupee (INR) has been one of the worst performing emerging market currencies against the USD this year.

What fashion trend makes you cringe or laugh every time you see it?
The cocked to the side flat brim. Every time. No matter what. Like, I have literally never seen anyone make that look good. It is so, so funny to me.
Most other fashion trends I'm pretty open to. Not that I don't have a decent eye for fashion; but I mean I'm open to as in I think some people can pull most anything off if done the right way. But there are definitely still some other really bad ones.
For instance, things like Ed Hardy or No Fear shirts. Like, come on. What kind of person do you have to be to wear a shirt that you think makes you come off as more badass(it doesn't). Really, any sort of that "tough-guy" stuff. Like, I grew up in punk culture and I'm all about that sort of stuff- but the dudes driving lifted trucks with fake cow balls hanging off the back of them and they all look like Dog the Bounty Hunter but are really all just carpenters and pipe layers.
I think we all know the type.
I guess that's all I really got for concrete stuff. Most other things I feel like there's always something out there who can pull it off.
Except I hate when people make themselves essentially look like dolls. And pay tens of thousands to do it. What's up with that? (I'm talking to you designers)
What is Muharram?
It is one of the four holy months of the Hijri lunar calendar, in order the calendar is the first month and marks the beginning of the Islamic New Year.
This month is only surpassed by Ramadán in relation to its meaning.
This year 2018, will be held from September 12 until October 9 approximately. This celebration is not the same for all Muslims, who celebrate it in different ways:
During the Muharram, several Muslims perform fasting during the day of Ashura, and some other days of the Muharram in the form of thanksgiving.
Some other Muslims like the Shiites perform and participate in rituals, which are mourning, which are performed in mesquitas to mourn the death of Hussein, remembering everything he did for justice.
And some other Muslims perform public rituals, which tend to be a bit more painful, including self-flagellations, cuts and blows to various parts of their body.

As a guy, how would you react if you found out that your girl cheated on you by sleeping with another girl?
I would break up with her immediately, not because she slept with a girl, but because she cheated. I won't do anything like ask her to invite the other girl over for a threesome, no, that's just encouraging the inevitable because she's going to have to pick one and since she stepped out then it means she wasn't satisfied with me.
Cheating is cheating irrespective of who you cheated on me with. Relationships are like mini-marriages and although you don't take any vows, you're still accountable to your partner. A wise man once said that if you love two people then pick the second person because if you truly loved the first then you wouldn't have fallen for the second person. So if she cheated then that means that either she never really loved me, or she's confused about her sexuality, and believe me when I say you don't want to be with a confused woman.
Provided I'm doing my part in the relationship and satisfying every demand then she has no right to cheat so if she does then she can go off and enjoy her new love life.
Cheating is cheating and she would be gone
I'd probably still want pictures (I am a guy after all) but the relationship itself would be over.
There is no good reason to cheat. If you are not happy in the relationship speak up BEFORE cheating, show your maturity.
If she wanted to bring another girl into it, ASK. Somehow I doubt that is something many guys would turn down.
If she sleeps with anyone else than me, it means she doesn't find me sufficient. That is a good recipe to a breakup, so I would break up because it would be a matter of time until I loose her.
Unless you just find her also insufficient, then that is another story.
I'd work out the threesome then break up. Fair turn.
Can loyalty be taught?
No, you can't teach someone loyalty. Loyalty is something that can only be emulated. You can't teach a person how to be loyal, it's something that you have to make a mental decision to do.
Loyalty is something that you develop on your own, it could be inspired by watching someone else being loyal or simply by wanting to stand by someone that you admire. Loyalty is an attribute, not a skill, you don't teach people attributes, that's something that they acquire by themselves.
Of course it can
Marketing does it all the time.
BRAND LOYALTY
Loyalty is simply a psychological belief or preference for one thing over another. Loyalty to a friend, loyalty to a spouse/lover or loyalty to your favourite brand of ice cream.
You trust that you will not be hurt, give them your loyalty and in return they will be loyal to you.
Loyalty can also be changed or moved over time. You can be taught (or manipulated might be a better phrase) to be loyal to certain factions, brands or whatever through rewards, punishment or various other external stimuli
Is there a difference between Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and Initial Public Offering (IPO)??
Yes. They may sound alike, but there are several fundamental differences between an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and an Initial Public Offering (IPO). In fact, even though an ICO has been described by Bloomberg as "like an IPO, but with coins", the two are so distinct they have more differences than similarities.
When it comes down to it, both an ICO and IPO have the same purpose--companies use them to raise funds. However, that's pretty much where their similarities end. So, what are these differences?
Who and When. Let's start who raises funds with an IPO and an ICO, and why.
IPOs are often used by mature credible companies and tech startups to raise funds to further their growth. Here, the company making the offer already has a working product, with a sizable user or client base, and a financially stable business model. In other words, they already have something to show their investors. That's why whatever funds they raise will be used to further their growth and expansion. IPOs also only apply to private companies who want to go public.
ICOs, on the other hand, are used by blockchain-based companies and startups, usually at the beginning of a project to gather supporters and generate funds that can be used to develop the company's blockchain-based product and enter the market.
Public Offering vs Crowdfunding. An IPO and an ICO raise funds in different ways.
An IPO depends on the very formal and traditional public offer, which is subject to rigid rules, mandatory regulatory oversight and requires the company to publish a prospectus. A prospectus is a legal document that contains key information on the company, it's IPO, and other pertinent information that investors need to make informed decisions. The prospectus must also meet certain standards for transparency. This is because all information included in the prospectus can be relied upon in court, so it has to meet certain requirements.
In contrast, an ICO makes use of crowdfunding or in some cases, a private token sale, which are not governed by any regulatory body, authority, or law (at least not yet). Now, most ICOs do publish a white paper, however, there are no set rules on how to write one, nor are the companies required to meet standards of transparency. Meaning, they can publish as little or as much as they want, however they want to.
In addition, because of the formalities involved, and IPO is a much longer process usually taking months from its initial filing to approval. Facebook's IPO, for example began with it's initial filing on February 1, 2012, while it's first day of trading did not take place until May 18 of that year. Compare that to the Basic Attention Token (BAT) ICO, which lasted for only 30 seconds.
Securities vs Coins. Next, they also differ on the product on offer.
In an IPO, companies offer shares, for the first time to the public. These shares represent an ownership stake on the company, and depending on the type of shares sold (whether they are common shares, preferred shares, or a hybrid) entitles those who own the shares a dividend on future earnings and a vote in shareholder's meetings.
In contrast, an ICO offers "coins" or tokens in exchange for a legal tender usually in the form of Fiat, Ether or Bitcoin. These coins or tokens do not grant either an ownership on the blockchain project nor a dividend on future earnings. Instead, what the tokens and coins represent are functional tokens that will give its owners the ability to use the project in the future and participate in the token economy that will be built once the project is live. For example, the tokens sold in a blockchain-based rideshare app could be used by ICO investors to pay for future rides or to pay drivers who will use the app once it is launched.
Exclusive vs Inclusive. Finally, they also differ on who the products are for.
Perhaps the biggest difference between the two, at least for people like you and me, are the types of investors who can buy the shares in an IPO and the coins in an ICO. Whereas an IPO only sells shares to large institutional investors, with people like you and me only getting access once the shares hit the exchanges, ICOs are open to everyone.
This means that those who bought Facebook shares during its IPO had to wait until the first trading day to buy their shares, such that they were no longer buying directly from the Facebook company, but through third-party exchanges. And they were not longer buying it based on its initial price, but with prices that have already been subjected to market forces. In contrast, if that were an ICO, you wouldn't have had to wait for the coins to hit exchanges. Instead, you can buy them based on its initial coin price before it is subjected to market forces.
Not just an IPO with coins. These are the fundamental differences between an IPO and an ICO. Thus, while they might seem like the same thing, they are actually not. They differ in almost every aspect from the process, to the product, to its intended participants. And Bloomberg's description of an ICO as "like an IPO, but with coins" is not only a little misleading, it's actually missing the picture.
Hope this helps.
Sources:
I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to cryptocurrency but I happened to have attended a lecture on discord where these two items were talked about and some of their differences between the two is what I will listing here.
First and foremost, the first and most important different is *IPOs work well when its centralized and fully control by a corporation while ICO works well when it is open source meaning no central authority.
ICO is the creation of digital tokens on public ledger called block chain while IPO is like a distribution of shareholding and this is done to the public via investment banks they call them underwriters.
ICO may not have product to present to the public but they have proof of stake or proof of work but IPO must provide a product.
I hope these differences are enough to answer your question.
Last month I wrote article on ICO : What is ICO – Everything You Need To Know.
There I mentioned difference between ICO and IPO. Hope it will be helpful.

How will you justify that beauty is an inner thing and not just external appearance?
The true beauty is always inside someone and not based on the external appearance. How will you justify this statement.
It is justified by experience and relations. You have a lot of friends and some of them are not like others. If you ask yourself that you could not be a friend to that person by looking his/her appearance. However, you know that it is a pleasure to know that person and you feel you are lucky to know that person.
You reliase that your special friend have a very good heart and never betray you. You understand that your special friend has a very good heart and always be with you.
What should be acceptable, happiness or money, if we can't get the other one once we choose?
Both happiness and money are important in the lives of anyone but we can get happiness without money though money can also lead to happiness too especially if the reason why the person was sad was
because they were broke,such person would become happy when they stop being that broke person which they used to be before,i would prefer to choose
happiness over money because i believe that money is useless to me if i have all the money and i still remain sad all days of my life...
What is the best antivirus currently and what is its price?
10 of the World's Best Anti Virus in 2013
It is well known that antivirus software is used to detect and remove viruses, malware, worms and suspicious code that is harmful to your data or computer. Available antivirus software is paid and some are free, but of the many frequently asked questions are "which is the best?" Here are 10 antiviruses that fall into the top 10 list in 2013.
1. AVG Anti-Virus Free 2013
AVG Anti-Virus Free 2013 offers protection that rivals other commercial products, even though it is a free anti-virus software. The drawback is if it is installed on a computer that has not been infected by a virus, even so it still does a good job. If you want good and free antivirus protection, this is a good choice.
It is said to be the best in terms of malware prevention but in terms of malware removal it may be after Norton and Bitdefender.
2. Norton Antivirus 2013
The 2013 edition of Norton Antivirus defeats other antivirus products in terms of malware removal. It offers layered protection and can block a variety of new attacks, related to system weaknesses and offers a variety of additional features.
Regarding paid antivirus software, Norton Antivirus 2013 can be said to be a very good choice.
3. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2013
Is one of the best antivirus in terms of malware removal after Norton. Bidefender Antivirus Plus 2013 does everything that an antivirus should do and includes some additional features. Some even say that bitdefender is the best antivirus that was successfully created.
Perhaps the drawback is the old installation, but this is certainly commensurate with its many features such as its own firewall, Autopilot mode, Rescue Mode and so on. Also is a paid antivirus software.
4. Avast! Free Antivirus 8
One of the advantages of Avast! Antivirus that has been offered before and has its own advantage until now is automatic sandboxing, if the file is considered suspicious. Sandboxing allows the program to be run, only in a different scope so as to prevent the program from doing things that can be dangerous.
Is one of the best free antivirus, especially Avast! Free Antivirus 8 offers Web Reputation and other features besides regular antivirus.
5. McAfee Antivirus Plus 2013
McAfee Antivirus is an antivirus software that has survived for years, protecting the computer and its users. Although in 2010 had disappointed its users, since being acquired by Intel in 2011, McAfee demonstrated its strength in the antivirus field.

6. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013
Also a paid anti-virus software that has advantages in phishing protection and malware removal, and easy installation even though the computer has been infected by a virus. Even if there are suspicious files that can be dangerous, Kaspersky will automatically upload the file for analysis.
The disadvantage of this antivirus is that there is no personal firewall, antispam, antibanner and parent control tool. But this antivirus can scan traffic messengers that come in and automatically dispels malware.
7. Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus 2013
Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus 2013 is a paid antivirus that has a very lightweight software size, therefore installation is very easy and fast. Even so, the scanning still runs quickly. Have good features
What is the best way to persuade people to turn their backs on religion and become humanists?
Since Chris Hitchins died, atheism and humanism, in fact, the masses who were standing up against the tyrannies of religion seem to have declined. How can we reverse this trend and become a more tolerant, peaceful and loving world outside the constraints of religion?
Honestly the best way for this to happen is for man to realize they are not the pinnacle of everything in the universe.
Once intelligent life has been discovered, contacted and interacted with elsewhere besides our insignificant little planet, humanity will be forced to realize there is more out there than some singular religion.
Only once we truly realize and accept we are not God's ultimate (and only) creation will we get this nonsense out of our heads.
Religion is THE singular most dividing and polarizing force we have on this planet. More wars, more death, and more pain has been caused in the name of religion than in all other acts of racism, politics, sexism etc. combined
When mankind realizes we are truly one then and only then can we begin to put aside religion as a divisive force and realize that in the universe it is our humanity that matters, not which god or religion we worship
Is there any justification for stealing all because you want to give the needy?
stealing for charity
Absolutely it is not ok. The Robin Hood idea isn't the right way to think.
Stealing is a crime even though you are taking from someone who may have more than you. It doesn't make it any better either by saying you are giving it to the needy. Life is hard enough to make a living without it being stolen.
There are a lot of charities who have wrecked this idea as the money donated doesn't end up at the promised place. Most charities are funded by large donors and normal people who do normal work. The problem is the admin and directors of the charities have to live a normal life but it is a ruse.
They are living off donations and are living the high life and is no different as they are stealing under a false pretense. the ones who suffer will suffer more as the donations will stop altogether. This is a modern day Robin Hood that takes some of the rewards.
Morals and ethics need to be applied to this idea and it just isn't right whatever way you look at it. If you want to make a difference then do it the hard way and collect donations and in an organised way donate to the needy. i have stopped giving to charities as I don't trust them anymore.
In South Africa you can lease a blind man to collect money at traffic lights. criminal gangs are doing that so who do you trust anymore. If I see someone down and out I will buy them some food but otherwise my money stays in my pocket. the days of receiving hand outs have long gone and the needy are suffering because of this.
No there is no justification for that. Two wrongs don't make a right and just because you're doing it for the right reasons doesn't make it right in any way.
If you steal from from someone to give to another person then you've only succeeded in making one person poorer and another person richer. Stealing on its own is a vile act which deprives a human being of something that belongs to them, something they may have worked hard for, something that they may treasure so irrespective of the reason I can't support this.
In my country Nigeria, corruption is rampant and it's common belief that every government official steals money. I imagine that these officials justify their theft by telling themselves that they have mouths to feed, kids to send to school and so on, and to them what they're doing is ok, but we all know it's not. It's exactly the same if you deprive someone of their money because you feel there's someone else that needs it more.
Stealing is wrong and cruel, you never know what a person is going through or what they've planned to do with their money, no matter the circumstance, you have no right to steal money from anyone.
No
Stealing is illegal in almost all parts of the world.
Two wrongs don't make a right
The end does not justify the means
That is like asking if it is OK to murder for the right cause if it benefits the needy
There are laws in place for a reason and whether you agree or disagree with them, hey are the LAW and should be followed in order to maintain society. If everyone simply did what they wanted and justified it with Oh it was for the needy, where would be as a society?
We need to strive to better each day, not sink to the lowest common denominator and say well they did it, so I will as well. It doesn't matter if its government, local, officials or banks/retail as the other answer states, there is NO justification for stealing.
You are always hurting someone somewhere when you steal. Just because others have more than you does not give you the right or the moral high ground to take from them
Yes! In my country, and in most of the world, those in power steal from the "little" people to fatten their pockets. Thus, the act of stealing to help those in need is a good justification and could even be seen as noble if the funds were stolen from banks or gold and jewlery shops. They make astounding profits on the cost of the rest of the society so, stealing from them to build houses for homeless people is in my opinion a good deed.
What makes mothers that just gave birth to a new baby weak?
I am not yet a mother but I know that pregnancy is not an easy thing to through. When a woman is in labour before she gives birth, she goes through contractions which are very painful. Someone once described labour pains as painful as breaking so many bones at the same time. Many atimes doctors administer medications to lessen these pains but with the Labour pains comes discomfort and followed by so much happening in the system weakening it.
After the Labour comes the child bearing, if the child is born through ceaserean if is much effortless for the mother but if she has to push through the birth canal putting all her energy at work to push out the baby, this weakens her a lot.
Child bearing is also accompanied with loss of blood. Some women lose more blood than others. Bleeding after childbearing makes the woman aneamic and hence very weak. It is important to note that some even end up with tears especially if the baby was too large.
The pains and travails of Child bearing for women is very agonizing and leaves the woman very quick. I may not know the right medical terms to use in explaining this but I believe this is why women are weak after child bearing. They go through a lot.
A friend of mine once said the cry of the baby makes all the pain go away but they still need to rest, good food and lots of fluid and care to recuperate.
How to get out of the creative funk?
What are some techniques one could practice to improve English pronounciation?
Here are a few tips language learners can use to improve their pronunciation. They would actually work, whether you're learning English or another foreign language.
First, practice listening to native speakers speaking English (or whatever target language you're learning). You can do this by watching your favorite movies and TV series, listening to music, listening to podcasts, and watching videos on Youtube.
The goal here is to expose you to as much of the spoken language as possible so you can hear it's nuances, spot the differences in similar sounding words, and make you more comfortable with the language. Other things to watch out for are the speaker's intonation and the melodic patterns present in the language. It's also a good idea to play the same video or audio on repeat, so you can really familiarize yourself with how to pronounce the words.
Second, record yourself on video talking. Language experts suggest recording yourself on video and not just audio so you can really observe the way you talk and pronounce words. The goal is to be self-aware of how you talk, so you can make the appropriate corrections. Proper pronunciation is not just about the sounds, after all. It's also about how you speak. So things like your breathing, the tension in your face, and movement of your mouth affects how you sound.
Third, imitate a language role model using "speech shadowing". You can learn more about it here: https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/improve-your-english-pronunciation-shadowing-others/3339007.html
Basically, it requires that you find an actor or TV or movie character whose accent you like and imitate. Then, you choose a scene where the actor is speaking, watch the scene a few times, and memorize the lines. Then you just imitate how the actor or character would say his or her lines. The technique is more effective than simply listening and repeating what you've heard since you are expected to match the cadence and speech patterns of the role model you are imitating. It's also meant to make learning more fun and less stressful. You could also do this with real people, but you would have to record them talking and its best to ask for their permission first, you don't want to end up annoying them.
Hope this helps.
Before you can learn to speak, you must learn to listen. This is basically just you making a conscious effort to not just hear what someone with the pronunciation you want is saying, but to listen to exactly how he pronounces it. Many words in English are spelt differently but pronounced the same so listening will also help you identify which word is being used as per context. It gives you a mental image of what each word is supposed to sound like so that you start speaking, you know whether you're getting it right or wrong.
Then the next thing to do is to learn how to shape your mouth. To pronounce a word correctly, you must learn to shape your mouth and position your tongue the right way. A slight difference in this can produce an entirely different pronunciation and so you must practice well.
If possible, find a partner who will help you learn and practice with you. You can both be learning or he can be good at it but either way, having a friend will make learning easier
