Many a times I have seen that when we push ourself too hard in work , with loads of different divergent activities , it takes a heavy toll of your body and peace of mind , their are loads of good book teaching about mantras of time management and devotion but I found it a tough ask to juggle 4-5 things at a time , may be I'm not apt at it , which might be considered a weakness as per management sciences. It always happens to me that at the end of the day I feel that I havn't done justice with any of the activity by taking too much to handle. People call it burn out , I call it adverse selection.
When I see my college friends around me also struggling with same issues , I feel its actually a big problem now days, Sometimes i try to give myself a break by not doing anything for a day, just to enjoy reading a novel or watching a good movie but as the another day starts you are actually caught with deluge of things lined up ,Perhaps Too Much To Chew , and your life becomes like a excessively chewed gum which cant give you much flavovour but u can just keep chewing it to please yourself .
Focus might be the mantra to actually excel , when you seek confidence and satisfaction from the work you are putting your tie in . It may be tough to actually apply descretion in choosing things you actually want to do or you end up doing .But still doing one thing at a time and than moving to other might help , but for me whenever i tried it i found myself doing that thing on the last day just for the sake of completing it.
Life in management school can be tiring and boring at times when you need to put efforts and time in things you wont do even for money , but its a endless persuit which makes us do all such tasks which absorbs energy out of you and leave you dull and tired , but still I feel its lot better than once you start working as the expectations increases drastically and also you have added responsibilities of doing loads of things
We used to read in school days " Khali deemag shaitan ka ghar hai " , which means that keep yourself occupied otherwise you will think only of doing destructive activity, which I think is actually not quite the way i look at it , I think when you will give yourself some open space to breathe , some peace of mind , one can actually think cretively .
May be thier are better way of doing things which can give you satisfaction in doing diversified jobs , I still have to learn it .

Let me do the honor first,Welcome to the blogging community.
"Janta" want to come out of their normal life, want to do something new, say to chew a new gum with diff taste, and have only 24 Hrs, and it is possible, just list down the priorities, if you are not finding enogh time to dedicate at that time, keep it as written or in mind, and do it as the 1st thing when you feel like you should do something new.
Things will not be btter, you have to make the diff and make it better for you.

Gareth at Skewed and Reviewed has posted an opinion piece on why he has chosen to take a wait and see approach to the new Xbox console regardless of the features and titles it offers. He cites past issues with box Xbox consoles and other factors as the reasons behind his decision.
not lot of core gamers happy about the next xbox. Cuz we all kno its going to be more kinect.
how exactly does anyone know anything?
for all we know, they're all just rumors.
are you really going to let rumors be a substitute for hard truth?
Look at the leaked documents SuperDAe received 20 years in prison for; do you really think MS would destroy somebody's life over the release of a fake document? It was real. Now, compare that to the PS4's specs and it becomes clear that the next Xbox is notably inferior to SONY's beast of a system.
Moreover, look at what the Ps4 has; video sharing (Youtubers will love this); instant game streaming; amazing Vita integration; amazing specs and a brilliant launch line-up. The Ps4 is going to be incredibly hard to beat in terms of what is up for grabs. Due to this people have focused on the PS4.
@cam I wouldn't say "noticeably inferior" but they diverge on what their system is meant to do.
"How exactly does anyone know anything?"
You're delusional if you think Microsoft aren't going to expand their Kinect focus next gen. Simply in denial as it is the most obvious thing we could safely assume about the next Xbox.
We have things called analysts, and they use company strategies to predict what companies will do. Microsoft has clearly been trying to compete with Apple and Google, as their executives have already stated. It isn't just Sony and Nintendo that Microsoft wants to steal market share from. In order to do this, Microsoft wants to cater to Apple and Google, meaning more social networking integration, more casual games similar to what you see on phones and tablets, more Kinect, more apps, more things outside of just hardcore gaming.
This is an effort to steal market share and the audiences from Google and Apple. Kinect was created to steal market share from Nintendo. What you're seeing is a company that wants to steal market share from everyone, and such you see the same strategy utilized on the 360 to continue on. Why would microsoft change a working strategy? They've sold a ton of consoles and stole a ton of Sony's market share away from them.
This is what's known as analyzing the market. Get it? Good.
@Cam977, specs can evolve over time.
The main concerns over SuperDAe's reveal is certain features like having to install every game to the HDD and Kinect required to always be turned on etc.
Guess we'll all find out either next month or E3.
dude we just dont know anything about the next xbox
what if MS announces xbox live is going to be free next gen
what if they announce them developing new studios or dropping kinect because not many people seem interested in it
until ms announces the next xbox its specs and the kind of games it will be offering(expecting more halo and gears) we just dont know anything
@kratos kills
by everyone i guess you mean you
i refused to buy the 360 because i was not going to pay for xbox live. To me it just wasnt worth it
if it gets free is a good improvement and maybe gamers wont be as pissed all the time by calling people fanboys or n****s all the time in a online game
Exactly what Kratos_Kills said.
Look at the facts. Microsoft have charged their fans $50-60 per year for the past 10 years for what is essentially the ability to use your own bandwidth (Internet provider subscription). Basic online gameplay is run using P2P technology which is not on Microsoft servers, but.. in fact look it up yourselves, you'll learn more.
If Microsoft make XBL free to play online (which they should, and it would be a GREAT thing for the industry), they would have to explain why they've charged you $600 over the past 10 years and they're now enabling the service for free. That can't be good for their PR, but it HAS to be done to move the industry in a positive direction and treat gamers with the respect they deserve.
The same goes for accessing services like Hulu, Facebook, Netflix, YouTube, etc. There's no excuse under the sun they could use to justify years of these unjustifiable charges, that most people would love not to exist.
Regardless of great games and services (which are important), their next console needs to have free online, fair services and hardware reliability as paramount, for me to consider investing. That mentality doesn't make you a fanboy, it makes you a smart, strong-willed consumer.
@ Knight_Crawler (below)
Did you even read it? Where's the doom? Where did he say he hated Xbox? Did you miss the part where he said that his site will pick up the next Xbox regardless, but since they are a smaller site they don't always have the funds to get all or expect review-consoles for free?
"A real journalist or gaming website would buy all the consoles including the Wii U regardless because they have to experience everything and give us the news without being bias."
A film critic has to watch everything otherwise they are biased? You have to watch Piranha 3DD to know that Inception is a great film?
And I guess you think that all journalists are run by people working for huge outlets like IGN and GameSpot, right? They can instantly afford all consoles, rather than feeding their family and eating, right? Not all journalists are those of large scale advertising dollar status, with departments for each console like the aforementioned big ones.
Do you remember when people like yourself laughed off Paul Gale Network for revealing PlayStation All Stars before anyone else, then called Title Fight? http://paulgalenetwork.com/...
It's not just large sites that have industry sources. Where do you think the people who post on NeoGaf and Reddit get their genuine leaked information from, when they're nothing but a username?
You're not happy with the next Xbox because...you know nothing about it?
Only on N4G.COM...Making assumptions based on...nothing. LOL
Actually it MS's pattern of behavior that has me taking a waiting and see attitude.
I dont really care what the hardware is like, I'm sure it will be more than capable. If its a little bit better or a little bit worse than PS4, it doesnt really matter to me.
What matters is MS's direction, being more concerned about casuals and Kinect, or apps for watching tv and movies than worrying about core gamers and only pushing their staple franchises over and over instead of offering anything new.
Thats why I dont think I'm interested in XB3 until they change their attitude and win me back. Thats based on the way MS has done business for the last 4 years and thats clear for everyone to see, not based on speculation about rumours, so I might be making assumptions, but theyre not based on nothing.
What is wrong with this website sknr.net that they keep submitting the same negative Xbox articles?
"Why the Playstation 4 and Not The New Xbox System Is the One We are Getting at Launch"
We get it you dont like MS or the XBOX...do you really have to keep submitting garbage to convince us to join your crusade and make the 720 a failure?
Posted by GarethVK - "We have talked with third-party developers who work on games for both systems. They have told us that while both have nice features, the PS 4 is a better system with more power and features."
You and your websiet are a disgrace to the gaming industry and the reason why the world does not take gaming serious.
A real journalist or gaming website would buy all the consoles at launch including the Wii U regardless because they have to experience everything and give us news without being bias.
Gareth I hope the few hits you get on your website was worth your integrity and dignity.
Where does it says we do not have all the consoles or will not be buying the new one? We had Wii U day 1, we will be getting the New Xbox. I am simply stating that we have had nothing but issues with the Xbox systems since day one and when they finally gave us a stable unit, I was not that impressed with what they offered nor the support provided by Microsoft. As such, we are taking a wait and see approach with the new one. Can you honestly say the Red Ring of Death was not an issue and that Microsoft did not handle the issue correctly?
I feel Sony has the jump, might see Xbox at E 3
@alousow is a a trolling parrot who says the same thing over and over. "720 is kinect" "its all kinect" "no core games just kinect" blah, blah troll yadda yadda.
Of course Kinect is making a comeback next gen its about HOW it will make a comeback. MS had a bad year with Kinect only titles last year I'm sure they realized that now and will implement it in a different way.
So can we get smart and make realistic assumptions about MS and Kinect? Of course not its N4G...
Do not believe this guy he's a liar he's not a real journalist, real journalist wait till the product is actually released before they judge it. The Xbox 720 is not even revealed yet, for all we know it doesn't even exist. He knows nothing he's just going of of rumors. Real journalist buy the console at launch even if it's not as good as the other one.
They need to do more with it. As you can see, we had several issues with the Xbox and had it not been for Dance Central, we would likely not have given the 360 another chance. That is really the only thing we play on it now aside from Halo 4. I will try the new Gears though.
How many times is this dude going to basically post the same crap? It's just attacks with ps3 fanboy talking points disguised as concern. Just an excuse to preach fanatical rhetoric.
We get it people on that site don't like xbox and will wait for their/people's socks to be blown off before they stop the anti MSFT crusade.
We understand. You're excited about PS4 and you'll do anything to stop MSFT from topping Sony again. It's obvious ps3 fanboys are stealth trolling trying to condition what people should expect from the 720 in a in vain effort.
He keeps talking about past xbox issues that were fixed many years ago preaching soft anti MSFT scripture that is double standard at best. He probably got PS3 without thinking about PS2 issues. It's clear some Sony fans will be trying to use fear mongering and scare tactics in New smear campiengs. This is a back up plan just in case MSFT shows Sony up
If Sony had any games in 2012 especially during the holdiday I imagine PS3 fanboys would have more to do them chest beat over the savior PS4.
All excited about games and specs that may or may not come to fruition due to Sony constantly over promising and under delivering. Boasting Sony games and the supposed lack of MSFT games when Sony prematurely announces games for hype having to can them or repeatedly delay them.
Get over yourself and go play Halo 4. Most people agreed with my PS 4 post yersterday, your in the vocal minority.
Ok...I didn't have anything against you with your earlier submission or even this submission as it's all really just your opinion, but your reply to greenpowerz comes off as a bit...rude for someone who has his own website and attempts to be professional in method.
Telling someone to beat it and "go play halo 4" just because he or she is in the "vocal minority" is cheeky and disrespectful, imo.
for being a journalist, you should know the differences between "your" and "you're".
Gareth stop lying, you are not a journalist. Just stop it dude. Most people agreed with you because N4G is 60% made of PS4 fanboys. For a "Journalist" you are really unprofessional. Stop submitting the same posts. stop writing articles based on nothing. Stop just stop. You're a disgrace to game journalism.
Here we go again with the insecure rantings.
Basically anyone who doesn't share the same affection for Microsoft business tactics as you is considered a ps3 fanboy. Ignoring the fact that most of us game across the spectrum. I play PC, I have played Xbox in the past, same with Nintendo and Sega etc. I'm used to open standards and business practice that isn't present in the Xbox ecosystem. The fact that I love PlayStation is enough for most people on here to call me a fanboy even though I game on multiple systems. So to you, anyone who has any doubt in Microsoft is a fanboy? You're ridiculous.
MS have done questionable things this generation and even last generation's Xbox, so it's normal to be questioning of them with their next box. It's normal, and I think even the die hard Xbox fans should be questioning why it costs $60 per year to access the P2P functionality of game's you've already spent money on, and why it costs money to access Facebook, Twitter and YouTube etc. You should also be questioning their motives on rushing out hardware irrespective of reliability and also be questioning their direction in terms of treating the Xbox as a casual entertainment machine rather than gaming. They have yet to prove their direction, but there's nothing wrong with holding back when you've been burned once before.
What Gareth says is true and his opinion and decision based on past experience with Xbox. It's smarter to ask questions than blindly follow, but it's clear you prefer that.
"You're excited about PS4 and you'll do anything to stop MSFT from topping Sony again."
And you're scared that Sony actually are in a position in which that might happen, even going as far as pretending that "on paper" specs are lies, and that not showing the plastic exterior of the game means the console doesn't exist, which is laughably desperate.
"If Sony had any games in 2012 especially during the holdiday I imagine PS3 fanboys would have more to do them chest beat over the savior PS4."
Sony had more retail games in 2013 than Microsoft. Twisted Metal, Starhawk, LBP Karting, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, Tales of Graces f, MLB 12: The Show, Jak & Daxter/Ratchet & Clank HD, Yakuza: Dead Souls, PS All Stars Battle Royale. Even one of their download games, Journey, won best game of the year from multiple outlets and beat out Halo 4. Keep living in fantasy. In fact Sony bring out more games on PS3, with even more platforms to consider, whilst MS bring out less games with only one platform to consider.
Feel free to critisize, but I am keeping an open mind to the new Xbox, whilst remaining conscious of the strategies that have developed on Microsoft's part. If I have to pay to access the online parts of games I already own then it's an absolute NO. The games could be spectacular, and I'd still abide by my morals, as a consumer.
Its Ironic that youre bashing someone else for hating on the next Xbox when youre just a pathetic Xbox fanboy yourself who hates Sony and PS4, looking through all your recent comments it seems your just a Micosoft troll, you even troll on Playstation articles.
You have no right for calling out someone as Sony fanboy when youre the biggest Xbot troll on this site.
Again another solid piece from someone who actually looks beneath the surface. Excellent stuff.
I think this article raises valid points, the Xbox has had its fair share of problems but I would still reserve my judgement for when the Xbox 720 is unveiled. As I've said before Microsoft is successful for a reason so don't discount them just yet.
solid article Gareth.. keep em coming in this manor. makes a change not to read complete trash on this website xD
I wonder when we post our coverage of the Gears of War: Judgement release next week if I will be called an Xbox fanboy and told I am kissing up to Microsoft. I call it as I see it. I am sure if I did the other article I am kicking around about how I think Nintendo has let us down with the Wii U by not offering more content I would be blasted for that as well. It seems the only safe bet is to write one where you say how great all 4 systems are and you cannot pick one over the other and gloss over any issues you have.
What I really love is all the hate that says we shoudl be objective and own all the systems. Where did I ever say we only have a PS 3? We have an Xbox 360 with Kinect, A PS 3, and a Wii U. The main system I use is the PC as that is what I prefer, I spend tons of time with all of them as when you have two websites a magazine, and a radio show. I am always playing games. I am simply stating as to why I am hesitant to jump onto the new Xbox as we have had nothing but issues and problems with the 360 and original unit as well as a lack of customer support from Microsoft.
Your too much! I look forward to you're next article. Any more news from you're top secret sources at Epic?
Agree with you on the bad experiance with Xbox 360. I was one of the few who knew after buying Xbox live membership, wireless adapter, and lets not forget batteries, that it would well cost more than a ps3. There are to many people that don't think about all that. I believe there's another name for them, it starts with an i, I'm sure you can figure it out. I am buy no means a fanboy of one console or PC but I am a fanboy of video games. I still play my 360, mainly halo 4, gears of war, and trials evolution. now with my ps3 i play battlefield 3, blops2, little big planet 2, journey, gt5, uncharted 3, and im still enjoying the heck out of killzone 3 multiplayer.
I will buy a ps4 day one, if the next Xbox is equall to the ps4 in terms of performance and just as many exclusives ill also buy I one. But if they're turning into kinect 2.0 and a cable box, Microsoft can't have my money.
Let me guess
Perhaps because they have not annouced anything yet
ill have to wait and see if it has an always on DRM system even for single player games, if it will play used games or if its backwards compatible.
I really can't see why anyone would be mad at this article. My experience is mostly as a seller, or gatherer of secondhand information: not owning an Xbox, I can't say I've directly been affected. But I've had many customers and friends who HAVE been bothered. That may make my opinion less trustworthy, but the author's opinion should make sense here.
If you've been shafted multiple times by a company, whether a console manufacturer or an insurance company, you tend to want to go elsewhere. At the least, you try not to rely on their services primarily. And if, at the same time, a competing company has treated you well, you're more likely to lean on them in the future. This article is, quite obviously, an explanation article designed to, hopefully, clarify the decision outlined in the previous article by give more concrete reasons in the way of past experience.
Hell, I haven't had anything happen to any system of mine, because I don't have an Xbox, but a huge part of why I DON'T have one is because of their reliability issues and how Microsoft handled that. Even if they still charged for online, had the 360 simply been more reliable, I'd have a completely different opinion of Microsoft.
Alas, they do not, and so I am apparently a Sony fanboy. And so, apparently, is the author.
I guess you're one of the VERY lucky few who never had to deal with the problems that Sony consoles have had over the years. From the millions of defective PS1's, to the tens of millions of defective PS2's, and the millions of defective PS3's. Not to mention Sony's indifference to their customers - they needed a lawsuit to admit to, and fix, their problems.
Congratulations on being one of the few people in the world who never had to deal with Sony's incompetence. Because, as you stated in no uncertain terms, you would have gone elsewhere had Sony ever shafted you.
You are a Sony supporter who ignores (or accepts) anything Sony does wrong, but is quick to issue harsh criticisms of other companies who do the same thing.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe 40+ million people defected to MS this generation because of the problems they had with Sony during the PS1 and PS2 days?
Microsoft was first to the new generation so that is why they got the lead. I have had not one issue with our PS 3 nor the PS 2 prior. I have not heard of one staff member, reader, listen to the radio show, etc who has had an issue with the PS 3 as well. I read on a consumer site that it was considered the most stable and effective launch of any console in history. I can only say aside form the PSN network issue, I have had zero issues with any of their products and have not heard of many who have, nor have I heard of of people having issues with getting support for the unit. Perhaps I am just lucky. But I know of millions of people who have experienced the Red Ring of Death, I know of Milllions who have been treated badly by Microsoft support and in an article in The Seattle times, Microsoft had a memo leaked that said policy on the Xbox 360 was when it fails. Not if, when. They knew they had issues and tryed to sweep it under the rug. Only when a class action lawsuit was pending did they extend the warranty to 1 year.
@Gareth... I believe they extended it to 3 yrs. not 1... Seems like you gave up on the xbox waay before they issued any warranty if you didn't know that... I would be curious to know if you would report of any errors that the ps4 could have, or just keep quiet not wanting to stick your head out of your little hole.
Most electronics have a percentage that fail. The Xbox 360 HIGHER percentage and how the company handled it is what people don't like.
"They knew they had issues and tryed to sweep it under the rug. Only when a class action lawsuit was pending did they extend the warranty to 1 year."
LOL, you called yourself a journalist but don't have a clue about the X360 extended warranty. It is 3 years, not 1, pal. Wow, and you expect us to believe that you have the inside scoop on the Next Xbox. Please!
What Youi are saying is true. If you have been shafted by a company multiple times people people do tend to not want to buy your products anymore. BUT. This does not count for journalists. At least not in their professional lives. Journalists buy products at launch with no second thought regardless of their predecessors faults.
This is why everyone is pissed except for PS fanboys of course.
And off-topic. I have had two 360's this Gen an Elite which still works and the new 360 slim model. Never had any problems nor my friends. I do not believe the stories people tell about going through 6 defective 360 consoles in a year.
Hicken, you can but a slim Xbox 360 now without he hardware issues. Yes the original design had major flaws but things have improved dramatically since then'
Whatever the timeline is you seem to have issues. First you say the hardware sucked in the beginning and now you keep saying how Microsoft lost its way with the core gamer. You were neither. You didn't support them then and you don't support them now. So why should anyone listen to your views on the upcoming Xbox? You are an advocate for the Vita and the PS3 while suggesting the 3DS and the Wii U needed price drops but not the Vita. Your opinion is so biased it's hard to be taken seriously.
Of course consumers should take a wait and see approach with the next Xbox. We have no idea how much Microsoft wants to push Kinect, how integral gaming is to the system, what games they even have on the table and what price it will be. So far we know the PS4 looks very strong but we also don't have the full details on pricing, the launch games or the overall online services and what will be free and a premium service. The track record shows Sony is more supportive of the core gamer than Microsoft has been as of late but your whole opinion doesn't really matter because you're one of the hardest consumers to please outside of what Sony does.
Interesting because the original NES was notorious for hardware problems. Remember having to blow on the cartridge or clean it with some kind of alcohol. Did you own a NES? How about the PS2 and the many times the DvD drive broke/disc reading errors or the disc tray breaking.
Remember the Dreamcast and it's faulty laser lens? No? Did you even own a Dreamcast?
Interesting that all these companies had hardware issues one time in their past generation(S) that wasn't up to standards and this is MS's second outing in the video game world?
And they took a huge hit replacing them and extending the warranty for free THAT is how MS handled it. Yea, this sounds like an evil company you should stay far away from!
You're a Sony fanboy because you criticize and rage on anything and anyone that says anything less than excellent for any Sony product. The fact that you are blind of this little fact just proves how much of fanboy you are and not a gamer.
Im reserving judgement on xbox 720 but i just dont know. Im a huge ps3 fan because it offered what i wanted. Great games. Bluray. Free online and free ps+ which i got free for 1 year that gives me lots of free games to play.
Other then gears of war on the 360 ive seen no eeal use to having it. Pay per play stinks. They give nothing for free and the only game worth it is gears.
Ps4 looks. Amazing which ill get. Unless the 720 brings new ips rather then the 4 rehashed geners i wont get it. Kinect and kinect 2.0 are childish and not for me. I want games not a media console.
Past history over how Microsoft treats its customers has taught is a lot.
i'm excited to see it. i want to play the wii u, ps4, xbox 720, vita, 3ds, and ps3 next year.
Next xbox will only be a good buy for US customers since the 99% of the apps and new media features are only for the US market...Sony will rule next generation because they are gearing there console to gamers and thats gearing the PS4 to be a wordwide dominante system.From a stand point of a EU consumer the PS4 and the WII U is the console to buy since its gear to gaming and not media apps that we Europeans,africans and most of the ROW countrys will not have acess by buying a next xbox!Only a stupid consumer will buy a box where the apps and media features dont work on there country!
I have to wonder what the reaction would be if there was no new Xbox and MS announced they were exiting the console business.
this is a good read and logical. if you think logically and smart then your views would be inline with the articles. If you dont think at all and just say oh im getting xbox720 regardless then you are the equivalent of the dudes in the goverment who instead of doing the right thing do the wrong thing to be cool and popular with there party base. ex: i get xbox720 cause my friend got xbox even though its not the best and right choice. a goverment example is i republican and go with them in there views even though a lot of they views are harmful because they my friends. while democrats have better and logical views based on reality and the needs for all people even those outside there friend zone.
Pretty much the only thing that made me keep my 360 this gen after several dead consoles and the price gouging was the games. Then they lost Mass Effect Exclusivity, sold Bungie and turned Fable into the most casual RPG in the market. Gears 2 MP released broken and suddenly MS didn't have many exclusives, certainly not enough to make it's library better than PS3s.
What it did have though, and what kept me buying games on my 360 over my PS3 was that the majority of multiplats looked/ran better on 360 so I kept it and kept paying for Live. Now that's not the case, most games are 99% equal so I quit Live and my 360 literally collects dust as movie rentals cost more on it, and all the other multimedia features won't work without paying Live Scam Tax.
Next-gen it looks like PS4 will have markedly better looking multiplats, more and better exclusives. Spending $300 on Live has actually made me resent MS so if PSN offers free online MP again, I won't even consider the Next-Xbox.
I'll miss Halo but I don't think 343s is as good as Bungie - something's missing. Regardless, FPS games have kind of moved beyond Halo in the gameplay department.

The Effects of Sunlight to Mung Beans
What is the role of sunlight on the germination of Vigna radiata (Mung bean) seed?
The role of sunlight on the germination of Vigna radiata seed.
The germination of the seed is a physiological event. The light is one of the most important environmental factors for germination of seeds. The seeds of many species do not germinate in the dark. Vigna radiata seed or Mung bean seed as it commonly called will be used for the study since it can be prepared anywhere with minimum of equipment and preparation. The seed germinates rapidly also.
This study would be of great help for students like us who are into farming specifically those who are into planting crops so that we would know the importance of sunlight in the germination of seeds. The study could also be a good choice for teaching children about seed germination.
• 3 cups lightweight potting soil
•A sharp nail
•Small hammer or anything hard that can be used for pounding the nail •A light source
•Cabinet or locker
•2 tin cans (from milk or canned goods) to be used as pots •6 pieces Vigna radiata seed of the same type (green with white line in the middle) •Rubber band
•2 pieces clear plastic bags
•Camera or cell phone with camera for documentation
All the above materials are readily available at our homes except for the Vigna radiata seeds which the proponents will be asking from the school.
1.Get 6 pieces of Vigna radiate seeds all of the same type. 2.Poke a sharp nail to the bottom of the 2 tin cans which will serve as plant pots and make two to three small holes. 3.Fill the pot with the soil up to ¾...

The flashcards below were created by user
FreezingBlue Flashcards
outermost, 2 layers (b/w is a serous fluid that allows friction –free movemtn as heart contracts & relaxes)
form bulk of heart wall, thickest and strongest, composed of cardiac muscle tissue which is responsible for pumping blood
innermost, thin connective, lines interior, valve & larger vessels.
Rt atrium
receive deoxygenated blood fr entire body. SCV return blood fr head/neck/arms. ICV fr lower body. Coronary vein returns blood fr heart muscle to coronary sinus.
Rt ventricle
lower Rt = receive deoxygenated blood fr Rt atrium => pump blood to thru Pulmonary artery to Lung to release Co2 & receive O2.
Left atrium
upper left = receive oxygenated blood from lung via Pulmonary veins.
Left ventricle
receives oxygenrated blood fr left atrium. It is the thickest, most muscular section of heart and pumps oxygenated blood out thru aorta to all parts of body.
Right side pump
receives deoxygenated blood & pumps to Lungs
Left side pump
receives oxygenated blood from lungs & pumps it throughout body.
2 atrioventricular (AV) valves
located b/w atrium & ventricles.
Small cord-like structures = chrodae tendinease = connect AV valves to walls of heart & work with papillary muscles located in walls of ventrlcles to make a tight seal to prevent backflow when ventricle contract
Rt AV valve
b/w Rt atrium & Rt ventricle = tricuspid valve = 3 flaps/cusps.
Left Av valve
2 cusps =bicuspid = mitral valve = b/w left atrium and left ventricle.
2 semilunar valves
(3 cusps resembling a half moon) located at points where blood exits ventricles.
1) pulmonary semilunar valve = b/w Rt ventricle & pulmonary artery.
2) Aortic semilunar valve
Heart muscle tissue contains an ability to contract in a rhythmic pattern.
Muscle cell = can beat, respond to stimulus in same way that nerve cells do
characteristics that affect function of conduction system; also affect conduction of message around heart, initiation of heartbeat, coordination of beating patterns b/w atria & ventricles.
automaticity & irritability
Hormones, ion concentration, changes in body temp
Sinoatrial (SA)
initiates heartbeat = pace maker = regulate heartbeat = in upper part of Rt atrium, just beneath opening of SVC.
AV node
base of Rt atrium = slow down impulse to allow atrium to complete contraction & allow ventricle to refill.
Bundle of His
group of conduction fibers => divide into Rt & Lt branches of AV bundle to travel to smaller branches = Purkinje fibers which surround ventricles. The message travel thru ventricles & cause contractions which empty ventricles.
electricity pathway explanation
ð Specialized cardiac muscle cells in wall of heart rapidly initiate or conduct an electrical impulse throughout myocardium. The signal is initiated by SA node & spread to rest of Rt atrial myocardium directly, to the Left atrial myocardium by way of bundle of interatrial conducting fibers, AND to AV node by way of 3 internodal bundles. AV node then initiates a signal that is conducted thru conduction fibers = bundle of His & break into Lt and Rt branches to travel to smaller branches = Purkinje fibers, which surround the ventricles.
electricity pathway summary
SA node => AV node => bundle of His => Rt & Lt bundle branches of AV bundle => Purkinje fibers
Cardiac cycle
complete heartbeat = average of 0.8 second. 2 atria contract while 2 ventricles relax. When ventricle contracts, 2 atria relax
Phase of contraction
phase of relaxation
diastole = period b/w contraction of atria or ventricles during which blood enters relaxed chambers fr systemic circulation & lungs.
1st sound = long & low pitch = heard when AV valves close
2nd sound = short, sharp = heard when semilunar valves close.
3 main types of vessels.
1) capillaries = joining arterioles & venules = connect arteries (large vessels carrying blood away from heart) to the veins ((vessels that convey blood from capillaries & return it to heart). Heart delivers blood to arteries, which branch into tiny vessels = arterioles (blood vessels of smallest branch of arterial circulation0 which deliver blood to tissues. w/in tissues, capillaries (microscopic vessels) form a network that exchange of products/by products b/w tissue & blood. Capillaries then join with tiny veins (venules), that link with larger veins & return to heart
Blood vessel pathway
Artery => arteriole => capillary => venule => vein.
coronary circulation
delivery of O2 & nutrient-rich arterial blood to cardiac muscle tissue & return of oxygen-poor blood fr this tissue to venous system. Blood flow into heart muscle by way of 2 small vessels = Rt & Lt coronary arteries which form a crown around myocardium. Openings into these vessels lie behind flaps of aortic semilunar valves . Coronary arteries bring O2/nutrient to myocardium. Once circulation is completed and CO2 /waste products have been collected, blood flow into a large coronary vein & finally into coronary sinus, which empties into Rt atrium.
Systemic circulation
When oxygenated blood leaves left ventricle, it enters largest artery of body = aorta = main trunk, 4 parts = ascending, arch, thoracic of descending and abdominal portion of descending. Blood continues to flow into capillaries. Capillaries surround cell & exchange O2/nutrients/CO2/waste. Blood proceeds to tiny venules => larger veins => rt atrium via largest vein (vena cava). Blood is now deoxygenated & need to be replenished with O2.
When heart contracts => electrical activity
pulmonary circulation
Deoxygenated blood now passes thru pulmonary circulation to pick up needed O2. Blood is pumped fr Rt atrium to Rt ventricle where it leaves heart to travel via pulmonary artery to lungs. Once blood reaches lungs, it travels through arterioles to capillaries. Microscopic capillaries surround alveoli (air sacs) where O2 diffuses into bloodstream. Capillaries then connect w venules & finally with 4 pulmonary veins, which return oxygenated blood to Left atrium. It is then pumped to Left ventricle & to aorta & systemic circulation is then repeated.
blood flow
S/IVC -=> RA => Tri => RV => PS => Pul artery => lung => Pul veins => LA => Bi => LV => AS => A
Relaxation phase
P wave
depolarization of atria.
QRS complex
depolarization of ventricle.
Atrial repolarization
not represented but does occur, it is covered by large QRS complex & cannot be seen on ECG tracing
Reasons need telemetry
hx of cardiac dis, angina pectoris, suspected dysrhythmias, a change in meds, electrolyte abnormality, unexplained syncope.
Use high-frequency ultrasound directed at heart. Echo, or reflected sound = graphically recorded, outlining size/shape/position of cardiac structures. => to detect pericardial effusion (collection of blood or other fluid in pericardial sac), ventricular function, cardiac chamber size & contents, ventricular muscle & septal motion & thickness, cardiac output (ejection fraction = EF), cardiac tumors, valvular function, congenital heart disorder. EF of ventricle demonstrated by echocardiogram is as follows Normal > 60%; moderate HF 40-60%, moderate to severe HF 20-40%, severe HF (candidate for heart transplant) < 20%
Computerized radiographic technique that uses radioactive substances to examine the metabolic activity of various body structures. Pt either inhale or injected w a biochemical radioactive substance. Specific color-coded images reveal organs metabolic function. Used to study dementia, stroke, epilepsy & tumor, cardiac. Distinguish b/w viable & nonviable myocardial tissue allow identify the most appropriate candidate for bypass surgery or angioplasty. Accurately detect coronary artery dis (CAD), noninvasively, in an asymptomatic pt, prompting early intervention that can salvage potentially ischemic myocardium.
Blood culture
detect growth of bac in blood = infective endocarditis
Erythocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
monitor and rule out inflammatory infective conditions. ESR is elevated with MI & infective endocarditis and decreases when healing begins. Also indicates extent of inflammation & infection in rheumatic fever.
Serum electrolyte tests
body's balance of Na, k, Ca, Mg, which necessary for myocardial muscle function. Na help maintain fluid balance, K = required for relaxation of cardiac muscle, Ca = required for contraction of cardiac muscle, Mg = maintain correct level of electric excitability in nerve & muscle, including myocardium & cardiac conduction system.
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)
neurohormone secreted by heart in response to ventricular expansion. An elevated BNP >100 pg/mL indicate HF. BNP is present in ventricle of heart & correlate to left ventricular pressure. The greater BNP level, the more severe HF.

As I read these stories, I was reminded of the stories of German almost becoming the official language of the US instead of English, in that it seems that there are many false stories about the early congress. However, in every case, it seems, the problem is, as Rodda puts it, "It tells half of the real story, includes a quote from an actual committee report, but ends with a fabricated resolution."
I conject that these lies persist because they point to real documents ("Surely no-one would lie about something so checkable?") that are rather dense and difficult to read. (Just take a look, here is page 334 of the Continental Congress's papers.) The language is closer to the Early Modern English of Shakespeare than it is to the way we speak today (A fact that is highlighted by the issues surrounding saturday next.), and the written style is a kind of script that is never used any more. You can take classes in how to read this kind of stuff at a university's history, linguistics, and English departments, or you can slog through it, but the liars know that most people will not bother to do so. And of course, the lies of record omission can be bolstered if there are people like Aitken who were willing to stretch the truth even at that time. All you have to do is use a couple of careful official quotes and then let Aitken's lies come through to today.
Unfortunately, this type of lie can remain very effective even if someone does go back and look up what's going on. Reading the committee report without the surrounding information, it seems to back up that congress was worried about a lack of bibles; reading the redacted resolution on the Aitken bible, it is easy to be mislead and think that congress was supporting religion (and not the book industry); and if you look at the title, and not the content, of the various post-constitution acts, it is easy to think that congress was enamoured of religion when in fact it was simply assisting people. Given the difficulty in getting through the source material, who is going to go around in the other papers looking for evidence that what they've seen is not the full story? (Well, a historian would, but let us be realistic about how much time the average person has to devote to something like this.) This is the scary thing about quote-mined, carefully reworded lies. These lies take time and effort to debunk and destroy.

Multi-Let UK has determined that the gross return in HMO let to young professionals and workers has increased by 18-20% of the last 5 years. What that means is that, on average, every £1,000 invested in this kind of venture since 2011, had grown to about £1,900 last year (2016). This is a huge margin when compared to the average growth of a standard BTL that stands at only 6-8%.
Yes, well-managed HMOs are a huge business and the best potential for return in the real estate market. But just because you have a building and can knock down some of its walls to turn it into an HMO doesn't necessarily mean that you will see those kinds of returns. You need to be strategic and you need to find the right kind of HMO. Here are tips on how to spot good opportunity to create an HMO that will be profitable.
Look for the right kind of property
From experience, we know that the income from HMOs grow exponentially when you have more rooms in the house. But they cannot just be a bunch of rooms that aren't well designed or positioned to serve as single, independent residences. When looking for a potential property that could be turned into an HMO, you need to find something that has anywhere above 5 rooms (more than 6 would be ideal).
This should be your guiding light when looking for any type of investment property. Your returns will be greatly affected by the location's accessibility, the kind of taxes associated with the area, the security and whether or not your target market actually wants to live there.
Population demographic
HMOs are ideal for young professionals who are more concerned with getting to work conveniently as well as students who just need somewhere close to the school but far enough to give them their privacy. Before you go pouring money into a building, look around and see what kind of amenities are available. Is it near a school? Are there industries or companies nearby? Does it have access to excellent transportation and such?
Study the local market
As much as you may be certain that your HMO will attract students and young professionals, you need to study the kind of students as well as professionals that rent there. Are they the posh kind or will they be fussy about certain repairs, amenities and rental ranges? This is a business after all, and you must supply what the market demands in order to attract their business.
Finally, in all this, you need to keep an eye on the 'reversion cost'. This is something that often catches most HMO landlords by surprise. Yes, as much as you may hope for your retrofitted changes to remain constant, sometimes the market conditions change and you may need to turn your HMO into a whole different type of facility or property before you can sell it or make any money for it. How expensive these changes will be will depend on the kind of modifications you made to the property in the first place in order to turn it into an HMO. Try to make changes that, although effective, will not cost you an arm and a leg to reverse should the market conditions demand it. That is the 'reversion cost'.

Here's a challenge: how small can I make a compatible version of Vash? If I limit features, the answer is less than 800 bytes!
The conditions:
- Expressions: The feature that arguably gives Vash its reason for existence. Examples:
- Explicit Expressions: These enable Vash to have arbitrary JS that is still assumed to be a statement. Each is surrounded by
(). Examples:
@( model.doIt ? 'Yes, you should' : 'Nope!' )
@( it.total + it.tax )
- HTML Encoding: This is necessary to be compatible with Vash proper, and includes
Noticeably left out is block support, which is Vash's most complex feature. To fully implement it requires a full lexer/parser. This means NO:
@for(i; i<0; i++){ <markup> }
@if(){ <markup> } else {}
@it.forEach(function(){ <markup> })
Typically, JS templates are a big string concatenated together, and then compiled once using the
Function constructor, which is basically
eval. This is relatively simple (and fast at render time), but has a few problems that arise with Vash. Because expressions are not easily bounded (e.g. there is no simple
}} to tell when an expression ends), it's really hard to know what's markup and what's not. A good deal of code is required to properly delineate, escape, and encode the markup. In this situation, where code length is the concern, it's best to avoid fully processing markup.
For this experiment, I tried two alternatives.
Alternative 1: Manual Lookup
At runtime, find all expressions. Then attempt to manually evaluate each using the model passed to the template. This means manual parsing of an expression, including things like function calls, indexing, and dot property notation.
var lookup = function(str, model){
str.replace(reProp, function(ma, mo, i, b, p){
model = i
? model[i]
: b
? model[b]
: p
? model(p)
: mo
? model
: model();
return model;
This method is used to resolve a valid expression match, such as
@it.some.function("what").property. The regex assigned to
reProp is extremely long, but below is a condensed logical version.
@(<model name>)|(<identifier>)|(<bracket index>)|(<parenthesis call>)
The regex is broken into four sections, each of which correspond to an argument to the replace call above (the first argument is the entire match). This makes it easy to avoid an explicit
while loop, as well as a complicated conditional. The giant ternary just "replays" the actions that the original expression would have performed to resolve a value.
Note that this technique does not allow for explicit expressions like
@(something), because there is no way to manually resolve a ternary or operation like addition.
Alternative 2: Cached Function (Eval)
At runtime, find all expressions via a really long regular expression. For each one, create a new function via the
Function constructor. The new function will simply return the result of the original expression, and accept a model as its single parameter. Once the function is created, cache it using the original expression as a property name.
var lookup = function(str, model){
var ret = (
( LIB[str] = Function('it', 'return ' + str) )
return ret;
This function accepts something like
it.some.function("what").property, and returns a function that looks like this:
return it.some.function("what").property;
It then saves the function into the
LIB object. After the template is rendered once, this provides a speedup: subsequent renders only need to find the expressions and call the cached functions.
This attempt also uses a very small bit of code to locate matching parenthesis. This allows for complex expressions like
@( (i + 2) / 2 ? 'hey' : 'how' ). Regular expressions by themselves cannot handle recursive or matching input.
var opens = ''
,count = 0
,pidx = 0;
str = str.replace( /(\()|(\))/g, function(m, left, right, idx, str){
if(str[idx-1] == '@') { opens += 0; }
count += m == '(' ? 1 : -1;
if(!count && opens.length){ opens = opens.slice(0,-1); m += '@'; }
return m
This code simply finds all matching parentheses, and if the character directly previous to the open parenthesis is an
@, adds an
@ directly after the closing.
While the manual lookup technique is simpler logically, it's prone to errors and edge cases. It also requires two large regular expressions: one to find the expression amid markup, and another to parse the expression. This adds a lot to code size. Since it does not support explicit expressions, there is actually no way to have any sort of conditional logic in the template. If I were to limit valid expressions even further, and only allow direct property lookups, this version could be made extremely small.
The cached function technique is much less error prone, since as long as the expression is properly detected, it will resolve to a value. I assume it's also just slightly faster, since after the first rendering of the template, all it's doing is replacing text with the results of a function call. It supports explicit expressions, and can even properly parse nested parentheses.
Therefore, the winner is the cached function technique, since it's actually usable.
One More Feature...
A neat feature of both attempts is implicit iteration. Without block support, there is no way to loop through anything. As a simple fix, if an array is passed as a model, it will automatically be iterated through, and the template will be rendered separately for each item of the array. This is something that Vash proper doesn't do, but I will probably add in the future.
For example:
var m1 = 'a'
,m2 = [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ]
var tplStr = '
@it
'
,tpl = vash.compile( tplStr )
tpl(m1); // outputs:
a

tpl(m2); // outputs:
a

b

c

Templates are fun... for some reason. One of really neat things about this project was that I got to push my regular expression knowledge to the limit, while also learning more. I still have a long ways to go, but couldn't have done it without RegexPal's wonderful syntax highlighting.

Sets : Basic Concepts
Any collection of well defined objects is called a set.
- A set may be described by listing all its members and then putting curly brackets or braces { }. This is called roster or tabular form.
- A set may be described as {x|x has property p}. This is called rule method or set builder form.
- An infinite set has unlimited number of elements. A finite set has finite, countable number of elements. An empty set or null set or void set has no elements. It is written as { } or .
- The number of (different) elements in a set is called its cardinal number. Thus the cardinal number of a null set is zero, whereas cardinal number of an infinite set is not defined. Cardinal number of a singleton set is 1.
- Two sets are called equal (written as A B) if they have the same elements. Two finite sets are called equivalent if they have the same number of elements. Thus A B if n(A) = n(B).
- Two sets are called disjoint if they have no elements in common.
- Two sets are called overlapping if they have some elements in common.
- A set that contains all the elements under consideration in a given problem is called universal set. It is written as U or .
- Set A is called subset of B if every element of A is also an element of B. We write it as AB (read as "A is a subset of B" or "A is contained in B"). In such a case, we say BA ("B is a superset of A" or "B contains A").
- Set A is called a proper subset of set B if every element of A is element of B but there exists at least one element of B which is not an element of A.
- Write the set of seven colours in a rainbow in
(a) roster or tabular form
(b) rule method or set builder form.
- Consider the set of all even natural numbers between 12 and 22 (both inclusive). Write it in
(a) roster or tabular form
(b) rule method or set builder form.
- Let A = {3, 5, 7, 9, 11}, then write which of the following statements are correct and which are incorrect.
(a) 3A (b) 5, 7 A (c) 8 A
(d) 5 A (e) {3} A (f) {5, 7} A
(g) 5 A (h) {5} A (i) A.
- State whether the following statements are true or false. Justify your answer.
(i) = {0}
(ii) The empty set has no subsets.
(iii) Every set has a proper subset
(iv) {0}
(v) The collection of competent school teachers in India is a set.
- Classify the following sets as finite set, infinite set or empty set:
(a) The set of all prime numbers
(b) The set of all even prime numbers > 2
(c) The set of even prime numbers
(d) The set of prime numbers less than ten crores.
- Let A = {letters of BOMBAY} and B = {letters of MADRAS}
(a) Are these sets disjoint or overlapping?
(b) Are these sets equal?
(c) Are these sets equivalent?
(d) Describe a universal set for this problem.
(e) Is any of these sets subset of the other?
Answers1. (a) {Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red}
(b) {x|x is a colour in a rainbow}
2. (a) {12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22}
(b) {x|x is an even natural number and 12x22}.
3. (a), (b), (c), (h), (i) are correct and (d), (e), (f), (g) are incorrect.
4. (i) False, for {0} is not an empty set
(ii)False, for is a subset of
(iii) False, for has no proper subset (iv) True
(v) False, for this collection is not well defined, as a particular teacher considered
competent by one person may not be considered competent by another person.
5. (a) Infinite (b) null set (c) finite set with one element
(d) finite set.
6. (a) Overlapping, as they have elements M, A in common
(b) No (c) Yes, as both have five distinct elements
(d) {letters of English alphabet} (e) Neither AB nor BA.

Thanks for joining me today for Try It Thursday! Grab my graphic and link-up below to share your favorite recipe of the week. Today's recipe is courtesy of my favorite lady, my Nana!
This dessert has nothing to do with bananas, but we call it "Nana Pudding" since it was one of Nana's signature treats. A fair warning: This dessert was not intended to keep you skinny, and you'll want more than just one bite!
* Extra large tub Cool Whip, thawed (You can use a regular size tub if you desire. The dessert will be a little bit thicker if you do.)
* 1 box white chocolate Jell-o
* 1/2 package Oreo cookies, crushed (If you use the smaller tub of Cool Whip, you'll probably use 1/3 package, but feel free to add or detract cookies!)
***Extras: I think adding marshmallows or chocolate chips could send this dessert over the top! Let me know if you try any add-ins!
* Mix the package of Jell-o into the thawed Cool Whip.
* Crush the Oreo cookies. I put the cookies in a zipper bag and crush with the flat end of my meat tenderizer. You can also toss the bag across the kitchen a few times!
* Mix cookie crumbles into the mixture.
* Keep refrigerated until ready to serve and enjoy!
Thanks for joining me today! Come back tomorrow for Friday Favorites! See you soon!
