You're assuming God needs to interfere; why?
God has no obligation to interfere within the affairs of men, even in vices. If he does, he denies free will to that person committing the crime. Thus, on judgment day, Hitler would be questioned as to why he did this and that, and Hitler can argue that he didn't have complete free will. Without free will, there is no test.
And to those comparing the holocaust to the Pharaoh: remember, the Pharaoh DID persecute the children of Israel. God didn't stop him from starting the persecution, but he let Moses free them from the persecution. In the same way that the holocaust did happen, and a finite force (the allied forces) stopped it. Not to say that the allied forces are prophets in any way. Any man, be it Moses or Dr. Who has the capability to stop evil. Moses isn't God, he doesn't have infinite power, he had to struggle to stop the Pharaoh.
You are posting as if I've stated that morality defined without religion is perfect.
Saddam was a Muslim, Bin laden a Muslim, Shia's being slaughtered by Muslims in Pakistan, Jews in Israel murdering Palestinians, all these culprits justified these murders using a religion defined moral code. Religious folks and non-religious folks are on the same boat. Both parties define morality subjectively and act upon it, both parties killed.
Religion is not represented by its followers.
To help you understand, here's an example: Lets say a man named Yahya the Bartender, for whatever reason, killed another man in your name. However, you didn't want him to kill that man. By your argument, you were responsible for the death because the person claimed he followed you. The reality is, you are not responsible because that person does not represent you. The only person that represents you is you.
Likewise, the only person, thing, or idea that represents a religion is the religion itself, i.e. the actual scriptures, laws, and sources of that religion. To challenge the morality of a religion like Islam, you must challenge the Quran, accepted Sharia Law, and the primary sources of the religion, i.e the Prophet and Imams (as). You cannot challenge Islam through the moral behavior of Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Ladin, or Yahya the Bartender, because they don't represent Islam.
You say not to kill, Yahya the Bartender kills, therefore Yahya the Bartender is not following you. No matter what Yahya the Bartender says or does to justify the murder, his actions will never represent you.
Islam says to not kill, Saddam killed, therefore Saddam is not following Islam. No matter what Saddam says or does to justify the murder, his actions will never represent Islam.
Despite crippling US sanctions imposed on Iran, the Pentagon has purchased 115 $310 vials of antivenin from the Islamic Republic to treat Americans who were bitten by deadly snakes in Afghanistan.
The US military has grown increasingly dependent on the antivenin to treat bites by Oxus cobras, which is a highly venomous snake whose bite can completely paralyze its victim in less than an hour. In most cases, those who are left untreated after such a cobra bite do not survive. The antivenin is also used to treat bites by Haly's pit vipers and other snakes that are found in southwest Asia.
"When biting they hold on and chew savagely," the Army Public Health Service warns about the Oxus cobra. If any of the 13 species of venomous snakes found in Afghanistan bites a soldier who can't identify the snake, then they are given the Razi antivenin.
But although lives depend on the Razi Vaccine & Serum Research Institute, US military purchases from the Iranian establishment may be in violation of sanction rules. Such purchases legally require a waiver from the US Treasury Department. The Pentagon is investigating the purchases after the Wall Street Journal raised questions about its potential sanction violations.
With $35,650 spent on the antivenin vials since January 2011, the US has been a significant customer for the Iranian institute, mainly because suppliers are few. US Food and Drug Administration-approved antivenin is ineffective on Afghan snake bites because the drugs only treat bites by snakes found in the US.
Researchers at the Razi Vaccine & Serum Research Institute say that regardless of sanctions, they will sell the drugs to anyone who needs them.
"We make this to save lives, and it doesn't matter if the person is Iranian or Afghan or American. We are happy to hear we have saved a person's life, even an American soldier," said Hadi Zareh, lead researcher in the antivenin department, in an interview with the Journal.
Still, the institute has not remained unaffected by sanctions: the rules have made it difficult for researchers to acquire the necessary resources to make the antivenin. Chemical products and equipment have become scarce and expensive, which in the long run could have a significant effect on the supply of the much-needed and life-saving antivenin.
Razi has researched and produced vaccines since 1924. The organization makes about 95,000 vials of the snake antivenin each year and is currently researching antidotes for spider bites. Razi injects the venom into one of its 200 horses, waits for the animal to produce antibodies and then uses that to make the antivenin.
"The Iranian antivenin is the best, and our guys deserve the best," Col. Rob Russell, medical director at Camp Bastion hospital in Afghanistan, told the Wall Street Journal.
I believe that morality through concepts alone is flawed. There's no binding that can chain you to a concept. Religion chains you to morality out of fear of Hell. Likewise, state laws chain you to morality through the fear of legal consequences.
To organize and follow a concept of morality, there must be fear of punishment in its transgression. Otherwise it would be too unstable. Even if someone without any religious faith creates a perfect moral system for himself and forces himself to follow it, it still is unstable. To violate your moral beliefs believing that no one will judge you for it is too easy.
Belief in religion is a much more powerful chain, since there are no loopholes. You do an immoral action, you will be punished. In the material world, a person who commits a crime must undergo a fallible process and still has a chance to escape from punishment, or be punished for a crime he did not commit. In a divine court, such things are impossible. Every action you commit is questioned and every sin you commit, no matter how small, will be accounted for.
If one truly believes in a religion, he assumes a powerful chain on himself that no law or system can create. The only question is the moral system itself and not the effectiveness of it.

haram especially when it is mobilised against Muslims or an Islamic state.
The novel takes place in industrial era Russia. Toddlers used to clean chimneys and people were in desperate survival mode. So in this context it's odd that someone would not sympathize with the character.
Its a completely diffrent setting, so judging through Islamic principles seems unfair.
Are you in college or high school.
That's somewhat the root of the question. My professor, who has taught many Muslim students this book, has gotten the impression that Islam views the character negatively (i.e. what she did was haram).
My English class has been analysing Fyodor Dostoyevsky's translated novel Crime and Punishment. My professor has asked of me and a few fellow Muslim classmates to form an opinion of the character Sonya in the book. He was very specific, questioning the moral stance of Islam on the occupation of Sonya (a prostitute). He feels that Muslims in his experience teaching the novel have felt she is not the sympathetic character Dostoyevsky presents her as. I would like to seek the opinion of my Muslim brothers and sisters about Sonya.
For your class, try the question: "why does everyone who goes into politics has to have "working class" roots or jobs?" Kind of reminds me of Mao and other Commies. Tradesmen make good money but not as much as the professions. And unskilled truckers make more than a lot of people.
Who do you want in the Oval Office? Joe Six-Pack ?
I think the point of the article was to bring about the point that white collar workers can't represent the blue collar majority simply because they lack the knowledge and experience of said white collar workers. Basically, majority should not be represented by minority.
As for the other comments; they're somewhat irrelevant to the topic. I don't disagree, but it doesn't exactly try to analyse/refute the article. The video was funny though.
I'm supposed to read and analyse this article for my Political Science class. I just wanted to see the opinion of SC on it.
ELECTIONS are supposed to give us choices. We can reward incumbents or we can throw the bums out. We can choose Republicans or Democrats. We can choose conservative policies or progressive ones. In most elections, however, we don't get a say in something important: whether we're governed by the rich. By Election Day, that choice has usually been made for us. Would you like to be represented by a millionaire lawyer or a millionaire businessman? Even in our great democracy, we rarely have the option to put someone in office who isn't part of the elite.
Of course, many white-collar candidates care deeply about working-class Americans, those who earn a living in manual labor or service-industry jobs. Many are only a generation or two removed from relatives who worked in those fields. But why do so few elections feature candidates who have worked in blue-collar jobs themselves, at least for part of their lives? The working class is the backbone of our society, a majority of our labor force and 90 million people strong. Could it really be that not one former blue-collar worker is qualified to be president?
My research examines how the shortage of working-class people in public office affects our democracy and why there are so few former blue-collar workers in government in the first place. The data I've studied suggest that the working class itself probably isn't the problem. It's true that workers tend to score a little lower on standard measures of political knowledge and civic engagement. But there are many more workers than there are, say, lawyers — so many more, in fact, that there are probably more blue-collar Americans with the qualities we might want in our candidates than there are lawyers with those traits. If even only half a percent of blue-collar workers have what it takes to govern, there would still be enough of them to fill every seat in Congress and in every state legislature more than 40 times — with enough left over to run thousands of City Councils.
Something other than qualifications seems to be screening out people with serious experience in the working class long before Election Day. Scholars haven't yet confirmed exactly what that is. (Campaign money? Free time? Party gatekeepers?) But we're starting to appreciate the seriousness of the problem.
And these trends don't stop at the federal level. Since the 1980s, the number of state legislators whose primary occupations are working-class jobs has fallen from 5 percent to 3 percent. In City Councils, fewer than 10 percent of members have blue-collar day jobs. Everywhere we look in government, almost no one with personal experience in working-class jobs has a seat at the table.
Former house painters are the exception in Congress, of course. And although there are many white-collar lawmakers with good intentions, with so few leaders with experience in working-class jobs (from 1999 to 2008, the average member of Congress had spent 1.5 percent of his or her adult life in working-class jobs), economic policy routinely tilts toward outcomes that help white-collar professionals at the expense of the working class. Social safety net programs are stingier, business regulations are flimsier, tax policies are more regressive, and protections for workers are weaker than they would be if our lawmakers came from the same mix of classes as the people they represent.
The key is finding more lawmakers like Mr. Beard, politically adept working-class Americans. Or people like Representative Stephen Lynch, who worked as an ironworker in Boston for nearly two decades before attending law school and becoming a legal advocate for workers — politicians who worked their way up to white-collar jobs but who still remember what it's like to push a broom.
My experience suggests that finding them will be the easy part. The hard part will be persuading the people with resources to help them. Many political gatekeepers still cling to myths about how there's something "the matter with Kansas," how workers are too backward to know what's best for themselves politically. And people who value political equality already have their hands full with big challenges: mainly, the explosion of money and interest groups in Washington, and the large social class gaps in routine forms of political participation, including voting.
Even if we somehow stem the tide of money in Washington, even if we guarantee equal participation on Election Day, millionaires will still get to set the tax rate for millionaires. White-collar professionals will still get to set the minimum wage for blue-collar workers. People who have always had health insurance will still get to decide whether to help people without it. If we want government for the people, we've got to start working toward government by the people. The 2012 election offers us a stark choice between two very different approaches to economic policy. But it's still a choice between two Harvard-educated millionaires. Even in an election that is supposed to be about the future of our economy, we don't have a working-class option in the voting booth.
It's time for citizens who care about political equality to start investing in working-class candidates. We know how to do this. In 1945, the House and the Senate were each 98 percent men. In the decades since, party leaders and interest groups have deliberately recruited many female candidates, and today women make up 17 percent of Congress.
If the old boys' club isn't invincible, the Millionaires Party probably isn't, either. Changes like these aren't rocket science. They just take a little hard work.
Making a U-turn, Argentinean President Cristina Kirchner has announced she is now willing to talk to Iran, a country she accuses of master-minding the worst ever terror bombing on Argentine soil 18 years ago.
Immediately, Argentine Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman met with his Iranian counterpart Ali Akbar Salehi with the explicit goal of "reaching the truth".
Zionists outcries over Argentina's decision were immediately voiced. From Assistant US Secretary of State Roberta Jackson who warned that "relations with Iran are never benign"; to the presidents of the local DAIA (Argentine Delegation of Israeli Associations) Aldo Donzis, and AMIA (Argentine Israeli Mutual Association) Guillermo Bolger, who said Iran's proposal to talk "are disrespectful and offend Argentina's judiciary system", as "Iran cannot be trusted", and the Israeli government which condemned the meeting of foreign ministers even before it took place.
The truth is that eighteen years after a powerful bomb destroyed AMIA headquarters on July 18, 1994 killing 86 and injuring over 200, the case remains unsolved and the guilty were never brought to justice.
From the very day of the attack, the "AMIA Case" has suffered flagrant interference from the US and Israeli governments. Then Argentine President Carlos Menem – who once boasted that Argentina and the US enjoy "carnal relations" – gave US and Israeli intelligence agencies FBI and Mossad unrestricted access and overriding involvement in the investigations into this attack.
In fact, it was an Israeli military intelligence officer who discovered in the rubble at AMIA's ground zero a small piece of metal belonging to the engine of a van which "luckily" (for the Israelis) carried the manufacturer's serial number and could thus be traced back to an alleged "car-bomb", even though no other pieces of that vehicle were ever found, nor were there credible witnesses who can say they ever saw the van.
As the years went by, the AMIA Case went through seven federal courts in Argentina and became drenched in lies, corruption and cover-ups. After erratically starting off in different directions, today Argentina's Kirchner government formally accused the Islamic Republic of Iran of masterminding the attack.
Naturally, the US and Israel have great interest in making such accusations prosper as that would add further "evidence" of Iran being a rogue state ripe for unilateral Western military attack. Especially, at a time when US and Israeli credibility in the growing Iran nuclear program crisis reaches new lows, "proof of Iranian guilt" in the AMIA bombing would be a God-send.
The AMIA Case is plagued by judicial and diplomatic corruption. An example refers to the impeachment of federal judge Jorge Galeano who authorized paying a $400,000 bribe to Carlos Telleldín, a jailed stolen car dealer, so that he would provide false evidence supporting an "Iranian and Syrian Link" to this attack.
The bribe was funded by local banker Rubén Beraja, at the time president of DAIA and owner of the local Banco Mayo bank which would later collapse, landing Mr Beraja in jail for several years. In the nineties, however, Mr Beraja was a prestigious figure in International Zionist circles, being invited by former FED Governor Paul Volcker to join his "Commission of Notable Persons" investigating old dormant Jewish accounts in Switzerland, which led to Swiss banks having to cough up 1.25 billion dollars to global Zionist organizations.
Another milestone took place on September 21, 2006 when President Néstor Kirchner together with his Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana and first lady and then Senator Cristina Kirchner, held a closed-door meeting in New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel with eight key international Zionist organizations, notably, the American Jewish Congress, World Jewish Congress, B'Nai B'Rith lodge, Anti-Defamation League and others.
No one knows exactly what was discussed but less than a month later, President Kirchner dispatched special public prosecutor Alberto Nisman to meet with CIA and Mossad contacts in Washington.
Upon his return to Argentina, Mr. Nisman – a militant Zionist – formally accused former Iranian President Ali Rafsanjani and seven of his cabinet members that included Ahmad Vahidi who would later become President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's defense minister of planning and financing the AMIA bombing through Hezbollah proxies.
This news hit Argentine newspaper headlines big time, inspiring Rabbi Israel Singer, political director for the World Jewish Congress to "congratulate the Argentine Government" for making official its "accusation against Iran", since that "confirmed the commitment made by president Kirchner during that meeting".
Argentina's accusations, solely based on "intelligence" provided by the CIA and Mossad and their "car-bomb" theory, was promptly rejected by Iran.
So, if the Iranians and Syrians did not conspire with Hezbollah and Hamas to carry out this attack, who really did then?
Scenario 2 – Zionist In-fighting: An Israeli Link?
The AMIA case takes on a whole new dimension when approached within the timeline of what was happening inside Israel in the early nineties.
In 1991, the Madrid Palestinian-Israeli Peace Conference was formed which began moving forward fast after General Isaac Rabin won the June 1992 elections, making him Israeli Prime Minister.
Rabin's peace strategy required Israel to stop and dismantle illegal settlements by the ultra-right wing armed settlers movement, who claim that giving up even an inch of "sacred Israeli land" is outright treachery.
Nevertheless, Rabin steamed on with the peace process and in September 1993 famously shook hands with Yasser Arafat in the White House Rose Garden with Bill Clinton's blessing. Shortly after that, Rabin reached initial agreements with Syria over the Golan Heights and with Jordan. At the beginning of July 1994, Rabin allowed Arafat back into Palestine after a 27 year exile.
Goldstein in turn was killed in the attack, but his tomb later became a place of pilgrimage for the Zionist Settlers Movement.
It is within this timeline that, on July 18 1994, the AMIA bombing took place; at a very critical point in the internal fighting between rival Israeli and Zionist groups.
But Rabin "did not get the message". And so we reach the terrible climax of this sad story when on November 4, 1995 – little more than a year after the AMIA bombing in Argentina – Israeli Prime Minister Isaac Rabin was gunned down "JFK-style" on the streets of Tel-Aviv; not by a Muslim Fundamentalist, nor by a Palestinian terrorist, nor by a Neo-Nazi fanatic, but by one Ygal Amir: a young ultra-right wing Israeli student, member of the Zionist Settler's movement and linked to Shin-Beth, Israel's internal security service that was being revamped by Mr Rabin at the time.
With Isaac Rabin assassinated and out of the way, Shimon Peres stayed on as lame-duck Prime Minister for seven months until elections in 1996 brought Benjamín Netanyahu and the Likud Party to power, and Labor was mostly swept out of Israeli politics. Then came Ehud Barack, Ariel Sharon, Ehud Olmert, and again today Netanyahu, showing that militant Zionism is fully at the helm in Israel.
Today, as the US, Israel and the UK constantly threaten Iran with unilateral military attack, it appears President Cristina Kirchner – whether inspired by prudence or outright panic – has decided to "sit down and talk with Iran".
One wonders what will they be talking about? Little, no doubt: Argentina's irrational and arbitrary accusations are shamefully unsustainable.
What will the local and international Zionist organizations that wield so much power over Argentina, the US and elsewhere do about this?
What will "The Embassies" in Buenos Aires (from the US and Israel, of course) do to bully Argentina?
These are just some of the questions the AMIA case poses on the increasingly complex global grand chessboard in which Argentina has repeatedly and consistently mismanaged the AMIA case since 1994, all of which does not spell a bright future for Argentina.

After anti-Muslim ads hit NYC subways last month, Jewish and Christian groups respond with a message of love – hanging pro-Muslim posters to condemn intolerance and celebrate the city's diversity.
Rabbis for Human Rights – North America and the Sojourners Christian group will place their adverts right next to the anti-jihad messagesthat were released by pro-Israel group, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI).The organization covered 10 Manhattan stations, despite strong objection by the city's Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
The original text by the AFDI declared "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad."
"Love your Muslim neighbors," is the message on the Sojourners' ad.
"Our subway platforms and buses should not be the platform for messages of hate that divide friends, neighbors, and colleagues," read a message on the Rabbis for Human Rights – North America's website.
"We needed to be present with a counter voice, we need to stand for the work of peace, and to say that free speech should not be used recklessly or in an inflammatory way," United Methodist Women General Secretary, Harriett J. Olson, said during an interfaith press conference on Sept. 25th.
Rabbis for Human Rights – North America has also called on New Yorkers to publicly condemn the executive director of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, Pamela Geller, for putting up the inflammatory anti-Muslim ads.
"These disturbing and misguided ads are not meant to educate; they are meant to increase hatred and discrimination against New York City's Muslims, and to drive a wedge between Muslims and Jews. The subway ads demonize Islam and ignore the positive contributions that our Muslim friends, neighbors and colleagues make to our country every day," says a petition on its website.
The anti-jihad ads went up in the subways late last month after a federal judge ruled that the city's transportation authorities could not legally refuse to host the signs on the basis of "demeaning" language. The ads were apparently inspired by the violent protests that have engulfed the Muslim world over an American-produced amateur film ridiculing Prophet Muhammad.
The AFDI is considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center watch group.
It amazes me how one can take something as beautiful as that as just make it ugly. Wahhabis sure have some weird talents like that.
Islam is the light baby sounded interesting. Searched that. Got weird non-viral video on youtube (6k hits). Dunno how they script the suggestions, but that just seemed odd to randomly pop up in suggestions.
If the "truth" was "false", how would you describe "false"?
The answer really ties into our purpose on this earth: were here to be tested, not nurtured. God didn't put us on earth to enjoy life w/out any hardships (that priviledge is for the afterlife). He puts these hardships not to punish you but to test you. Through hardships, our true selves come out. The veils we've created for ourselves are shattered when faced w/ hardship.
Also, what make these things "evil"? Poverty makes us look for Allah (swt) and strength our bond w/ him. Disease makes us review our past and repent our sins. Miscarriages show us the importance of life and gives motivation to better ourselves. Every coin has 2 sides. You can't only look at the negatives.
If life, we often find ourselves not doing things that we are obliged to do, such as chores, prayer, work, studying, etc. This is mostly due to the lack of motivation we have. Motivation is what drives us to do things we don't want to do. Of course, life isn't as simple as doing what we should do and not doing what we don't have to do. One cannot simply do something he doesn't want to do without motivation. It isn't logical.
This puts us in a sort of dilemma. Where do we get motivation? What makes us pray, do chores, work, and study? If we should lack motivation, where would we look for it?


my husband is deployed, i am a SAHM so i have my daughter 24/7. she will not go to any1 but me. when some1 (my momther-in-law, my mom, my sisters) would try to come get her and pick her up she would cry her little head off until i get her back. the only other person she will go to without cry is my hubbys aunt who lives in ATL (she does not come down that often). since i have my daughter 24/7 i was planning on going to the spa.
when i go to the spa, i would like to leave my daughter with my husband's aunt bc i know she wont cry the whole time im gone. (i no my mom wont think this) but i dont want my mother in law to think well why wont she leave the baby with us, bc i know she will say that she will watch my daughter. but i just dont want my baby to cry the whole time.
my question is what would you do, who would you leave your child with?
Have you tried going out of the room when someone else has your daughter? My son is very attached to me (also a SAHM) but when I go to my parents and my mom holds my son as long as I'm out of sight for a few minutes he will calm down. I know this doesn't really answer the question you asked but maybe you could try this if you haven't so others can have the chance to watch over her. Hope this helps!
i do try to let other ppl get her, trust me i've been trying (bc i would like at least a 30min break or whatever) but she just wont stop crying. i do try and leave the room so she cant hear me or smell my scent but she still cries. i ran to the store 1 time n left her with my mom she cried the whole time (she can cry for like 30 mins or more straught, or until she cries her self to sleep, and i hate that). but i think i will leave her with who i am most comfortable with and that is his aunt bc i know she wont cry the whole time.
Im also a SAHM and I have 2 kids with another on the way. My kids dont get babysat and they dont go to daycare so I also have them 24/7. My advice is to work out who you are comfortable with and let your baby stay there. She will cry no matter what! I would so be jumping at the chance to go to a day spa but I am not allowd to get anyone to babysit my kids so really just be happy you can huni! Pick sum1 and do it!!
Leave your daughter with whoever you are the most comfortable with. You do want to be able to relax at the spa, and that would be hard if you are worried about her. There will always be other chances for the rest of the family to watch her. Just let everyone know that your husbands aunt will watch her this time, and it isn't anything personal against anyone. Let them know you appreciate the offer to watch her, and that they can another time. Enjoy your time at the spa!
Leaving the babies with a babysitter for the first time!?
how old was your baby before you left them overnight?
What to do when baby #2 is born?

Resistivity and Induced Polarisation Surveys

The layout of electrodes and instrumentation for an IP survey.
Resistivity Method – The Basics
Without going into the physics of Ohm's law, if you run a current through different materials you can calculate the electrical resistance by measuring the voltage and current applied. In practice this means that a resistivity survey will form an electrical circuit through the ground and take voltage and current measurements to calculate the resistivity of the sub-surface rocks.
For mineral exploration, resistivity surveys offer another indirect method to assist mapping and understanding the sub-surface geology, before we spend serious money on a drilling programme.

Why Do A Resistivity Survey?
The resistivity of the subsurface varies depending on rock type, porosity, permeability, the amount and type of salts present in the ground water and the type of clay present. When resistivity is low, conductivity is correspondingly high. Therefore, the method is useful for locating massive sulphide deposits and graphite-rich zones, both of which conduct electricity. When exploring for epithermal gold deposits the presence of quartz-rich zones and veins is important. Quartz, the most common mineral in epithermal veins and associated breccia, has a very high resistivity relative to other minerals. For this reason, quartz-rich zones that may host gold mineralisation , show up in surveys as zones of high resistivity or low conductivity.
How Is a Resistivity Survey Done in the Field?
An electrical resistivity survey involves laying out a series of electrodes, each driven into the ground about 150 millimetres. Their spacing is dependent on the depth of penetration required. The further apart the electrodes, the deeper the resistivity measurements of the subsurface that can be taken. Typically resistivity surveys range in depth from a few metres to more than 100 metres. The disadvantage of trying to obtain measurements from greater depths is a resultant loss in resolution.
There are number of possible layouts for electrodes; the Wenner and Schlumberger arrays are the most common. The Wenner array is the simplest, having an equal spacing between the electrodes. In the Schlumberger array, the spacing between the current electrodes is greater than the spacing between the voltage electrodes. Other configurations include the dipole-dipole and pole-dipole arrays.
The simplest electrode arrangement used in resistivity surveys is the Wenner array.
A resistivity survey may consist of a single line profile across a point of interest. Alternatively, readings are taken in a grid pattern to obtain a three-dimensional image of the subsurface resistivity. A grid survey requires either advancing the electrodes along a given line or by having a number of arrays connected along a line with data simultaneously collected and recorded by the instrumentation.
The normal result of a resistivity survey is a number of profiles that show the variation in resistivity with depth. These profiles are examined and interpreted by a geologist who locates targets for follow-up exploration.
Induced Polarisation (IP) Method
When an electrical current is applied to some materials a phenomenon known as "induced polarisation (IP)" occurs, with a charge being acquired. When the current is switched off the charge dissipates over time, in a similar way that a car's battery slowly goes flat if the car is not regularly used.
An induced polarisation survey is usually run at the same time as a resistivity survey. The resistivity method can be adapted to an induced polarisation method with the addition of switches and changes to the instrumentation. One of the main advantages of doing the two types of surveys together is to save time as well as associated costs.
The collection of induced polarisation data involves measuring the voltage at certain times after the current is switched off, usually over a period of a few seconds. There are two switches in the layout. The switch on the recorder part of the circuit, which measures the decaying voltage, is left open until the moment the current is switched off.
Different materials have different IP responses. Disseminated or dispersed sulphide grains within a large body of rock, for example porphyry and strataform deposits usually have a strong IP response. Small semi-massive sulphide bodies generally have a weak IP response. In gold exploration, associated minerals such as pyrite and arsenopyrite may be present in sufficient quantity in the neighbouring rock to cause an IP effect. Therefore gold mineralisation may be indirectly detected using the IP method.

Anyway, a static lifetime will truly feel monotonous, specially on the job. Because of this, it is going to soon be helpful to make ergonomically designed kneeling chair lively. Dynamic off ice chairs can be accessed by choosing the ones that have wheels. Thus, you'll be able to move openly, proceed on your desk, and never having to get up out of your seat. Moreover, take to and decide on individuals that are corrected. This feature may allow it to be simpler for you to find the most appropriate height of the ergonomically designed chair that fits work desk. Choosing a backrest that may adapt the form of the backbone is additionally important. Long term chair backs do not adapt the form of the spinal column. Like a outcome, once you lean, your spine will curl and also make you tired, sore, and potentially practical experience spinal deformities. Therefore, try to pick a chair having a backrest that could stick to the pure shape of this spine.
Today, back in the right time of this Turkish kingdom because in that period that the distribution of timber was very limited, ergonomically correct chair position utilized hassocks, a kind of conventional Turkish content for covered, coated with leather. Subsequently with the job of the Greeks and Romans to Egypt and Turkey, this ergonomically designed chair were identified as part of the idle chair for the emperors to unwind. The rolling of time, the Ottomans turned out to be widely known, which has been popularized with the people of both England and the usa. Household furniture designers proceed to come up with their own thoughts and make Ottomans as"required units" to match chairs or sofas in the living room.
The ergonomically designed chair could be understood from the color option. This fashion usually includes the blank feeling. That is the reason why you will find specific colors employed for transmitting this feeling. The vivid hues are used often for example blue, yellow, red green. Grey red and white combination may likewise be utilized lots of ton. The ergonomically designed armchair may also be determined by those traces. The item must have clean lines. Folks should decide on the item which has sharp and sweeping lines. They will see the chair with mid-century design looks like it had been developed from the material that's geometrically shaped for delivering the ease.
The major function of the chair is, naturally, in order to relax and sit. As a way to make the most of its role, the trick which could be achieved is to set a chair using a single style and produce the room look more classy and fashionable. You will find a variety of layouts and sorts of chairs in these times, certainly one which is the chaise chair. Chaise chair, that will be also called as ergonomically designed wooden chair, seemed through the 18th century. It resembles a long arm chair shaped couch. Its arrangement is actually a mixture of mattress and chair. It's quite comfy and comfortable, perfect that you slim on. That is why individuals usually telephone this ergonomically designed chair as a idle chair.


ECONOMYNEXT - Sri Lanka's central bank has published a statement responding to recent media reports on foreign reserves and debt.
A misleading news item has been disseminated in relation to Sri Lanka's foreign reserves and external debt servicing.
The contents of the news item portray a misleading picture of the country's external position. While stating that around USD 8.9 billion of borrowings by the government were absorbed to Central Bank reserves during 2015-2018, the article provides no consideration on the significant debt repayment effected by utilization of reserves during the period, which the Central Bank is obligated to as the official debt manager of the government.
Since 2015, the government has serviced external debt of around US$ 7.5 bn as capital and interest payments utilizing external reserves. Simply put, gross official reserves as at end 2014 amounted to US$ 8.2 bn. If there were no further borrowings or non-borrowed increase of reserves, the external debt servicing of around US$ 7.5 bn would have resulted in gross official reserves depleting to US$ 0.7 bn by now.
A country such as Sri Lanka, with a persistent current account deficit of the balance of payments has had to rely on external borrowings to build up reserves over several decades.
The country's Gross External Reserves currently amount to USD 9.1 bn. They are expected to increase to about USD 11 bn by mid-June 2018. (Pl see previous CBSL Press Release).
It should also be stated that the country's debt is serviced over a number of years. The weighted average time to maturity on the USD 8.9 bn debt referred to in the news items is 5.1 years. As of end April 2018, the average annual external debt servicing in 2018–2022 is USD 3.9 bn. The country, therefore, has sufficient reserves to meet its external debt servicing obligations.
In assessing the cost and benefits of external borrowings, it is important to consider the returns generated by such inflows through investment in infrastructure and basic services. Although government borrowings can supplement investment necessary for economic growth, it is important to ensure that such investment is productive and provides a substantial return. Such returns can be in terms of a wide array of socioeconomic benefits. However, if government borrowings are invested in unproductive infrastructure, which does not generate sufficient returns to repay the debt with interest, the government will have to continue to borrow to repay its obligations. Financing unviable projects using borrowed funds, therefore, results in accumulation of unsustainable public debt.
Central Bank purchases borrowed foreign exchange from the government by issuing rupees for the government to meet local expenditure. It is not expected to generate a return equivalent to the borrowing cost of the government through its reserve management.
The primary aim of reserve management is to preserve the level of reserves without unwarranted losses from high risk investments that deplete reserves. Hence, Central Banks adopt a conservative approach in reserve management. Therefore, it is extremely misleading to compare the cost of borrowing with the rate of return on investing the reserve portfolio, as the main motive of reserve management by a Central Bank is safety rather than making profits from its investments.
The news item also states that the CBSL earned a higher return on the investment of its external reserves during 2010– 2014 than in 2015–2017. The high rate of return in the earlier period was due both to the increase in the price of gold and substantial capital gains of bonds as Central Banks around the world cut interest rates, subsequent to the global financial crisis. The latter period has seen lower gold prices and the global interest rate environment has been reversed following the rate hikes in the USA.
The CBSL is currently following prudential reserve management policies, including obtaining assistance through the World Bank's Reserves Advisory and Management Programme. High priority is being given to avoiding speculative investment which exposes the country's reserves to undue risk.
The risk appetite is being calibrated to what is expected of a Central Bank when managing its external reserve portfolio. It would be inappropriate for a Central Bank to take on the same risk as a commercial fund manager. Accordingly, the Central Bank maintains a balance between safety, liquidity and return in relation to its investment of foreign reserves. The reserves portfolio of the Central Bank is managed against a basket of internationally accepted benchmarks.


Several people have mentioned lately that they feel incompetent in the kitchen or are just afraid to try. My parents were both good cooks. My father particularly enjoyed trying new things and was never intimidated by the difficulty a recipe presented. Still they did not really teach me how to cook. Maybe it was because I was the youngest by several years and they forgot about me. I did make a few things as a teen but by no means could I put together a meal.
However I have always loved to eat so when I had my first job and apartment, I started cooking. It did not matter that I was cooking for one; I was hungry and popcorn and cereal for dinner wasn't going to fill me up. My father's attitude of trying anything must have rubbed off on me because I jumped right in and cooked the foods I'd grown up with. I wasn't intimidated to try things I'd never done before as I didn't know it was supposed to be hard. Around this time I was asked to make something for a chocolate dessert cookoff charity event so I made my father's Black Bottom Pie. It was rather time consuming with many steps and three layers but I pulled it off and was successful. I didn't win a prize but it was tasty. A friend gave me some duck breasts once so I searched for a recipe and made Duck Breasts with Raspberry Sauce. I had some friends over and we had a lovely dinner except my cat eating the cheese appetizers.
Not all has been rosy and easy in the kitchen. Over the years, I have prepared some memorable meals, not for how good they tasted, but for how horrid they were. I am totally inept with tofu and the very word is a joke around here. Tofu is supposed to be nutritious and versatile, so I decided to try a tofu stir fry one night. I served up the new dish but right away, we all realized it was awful. My son was around two and he clearly wasn't going to eat it. Barry and I struggled along trying to pick out some vegetables but soon gave up. Barry was in a hurry to get to a meeting so we ended up eating bread, cheese and bananas for dinner. Barry now has a very negative impression of tofu.
Then there was the pork roast with dried mixed fruits I made. Pork pairs well with fruit and the recipe for the crockpot sounded so good and easy. My family has been trained to eat anything put in front of them with a smile so there was silence around the table as we ate that night. The meat was tough and dry and the fruit did nothing to help matters. I was sulking away as nothing makes me madder than to ruin dinner. Finally Barry said to Cameron, "Drink some milk. It will help wash that meat down." At that, I started laughing. It's pretty bad when your children are choking on your food.
I could share several more stories about times we've had to throw out my cooking and go out to eat. The point is that everyone will mess up. Your meals will not always be a success but anyone can learn to cook with practice. Get a good basic cookbook and start with simple meals. Take cooking classes or ask a friend to help you. But remember, when disaster strikes, laugh it off then go out to eat. Just try again another day.
I'm disappointed no one has commented about my new photo. Yes, I'm holding a copy of Martha Stewart's Cupcakes. I paid $3 for a cupcake from Queen Bee Cupcakes in Florida last summer only to find it tasted like it came from an Easy Bake oven. I was so incensed that I started a cupcake baking frenzy. If you are going to call yourself Queen Bee, you'd better be good. Much to my family's delight, mine are better. Also, thanks to Cheleygirl for her comment on the Sausage Ravioli. I'm glad your family liked it. Thanks to all my readers who comment and I'm glad if my blog gives you a laugh.
I'm afraid to even go near the kitchen, much less turn on any appliances.

Police seized more than 1,000 wraps of drugs and £10,000 in cash during raids in Coventry as they brought down a major County Lines supply chain.
Officers from the West Midlands Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU) executed three warrants on Friday morning (June 5) at addresses linked to a gang feeding heroin and crack cocaine into Warwickshire.
A 23-year-old man was arrested from an address in Middleborough Road, Radford, and 1,326 wraps of suspected class A drugs were seized.
And a 30-year-old man was arrested in Foleshill Road, Foleshill, where around £10,000 in cash was recovered.
They remain in police custody on suspicion, respectively, of drugs supply and money laundering.
Mobile phones believed to be used as drugs 'hotlines' were also recovered and messages were sent out to contacts in the phone informing them of the police action and signposting them to substance abuse support on our website.
A County Lines drugs suuply chain was smashed during police raids in Coventry and police sent messages to contacts in phones used as 'drug hotlines'.
'People are sick of drug dealing'
Police say the raids are the latest in a series of successes for the Regional Organised Crime Unit.
In April the team took down 12 County Lines and arrested 22 people linked to drugs supply.

Sturdy public sale outcomes, significantly for the 30-yr Treasuries, helped mortgage charges transfer decrease last week. Center-aged patrons who are wanting to repay their mortgages by the time they retire, perhaps so that they may no longer have house payments after they go on a set income. To be sure that you can afford the month-to-month payments, make sure that the residing costs within the space are the identical or similar to your present area. The 30-yr fixed mortgage price hovered close to four.25 percent until Saturday, then started to fall and remained at or beneath 4.23 percent for the rest of the week, Zillow mentioned.
Mortgage purchaser Freddie Mac mentioned Thursday that the typical price on 30-12 months fastened-fee mortgages rose to 4.forty five % from four.forty four p.c last week. He added that it would take at the least a 50 foundation level decline in mortgage charges to stimulate exercise significantly or expand the federal government's Residence Affordable Refinancing Program (HARP). With the intention to have the best probability at pre-approval, in addition to essentially the most favorable rates, it's good to have and keep a great to excellent credit score score.
As a rule of thumb, unhealthy financial information brings with it lower mortgage rates, and good economic information forces rates greater. Contemplate a shorter term fixed mortgage or an adjustable price mortgage based mostly on your finances and refinancing targets. These charges typically apply to borrowers with decrease credit scores , smaller down funds or each. In other phrases, calculate how a lot it would require you to pay every month to pay off your 30-yr mortgage in 15 years or 20 years and decide to it.
The world you might be moving to should have rates of interest and other mortgage fees which can be just like your original space. A bank akin to First Financial institution can present the muse for expediting the method of paying off a 30-12 months mortgage. Freddie Mac stories on the week's common U.S. mortgage rates. WASHINGTON — Long-term U.S. mortgage charges climbed upward this week, slightly worsening affordability for homebuyers.
Go along with the fixed-charge mortgage and get stable month-to-month funds.
While Hispanics have been severely impacted by foreclosures, the bigger inhabitants of potential homebuyers were unaffected by the disaster and exhibit an eagerness to turn into homeowners. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the sixth time since the end of the Nice Recession at its meeting ending March 21. The common would not include further fees, generally known as factors, which most borrowers should pay to get the bottom charges. Payments don't embody amounts for taxes and insurance premiums. This mortgage calculator is intended to assist you with estimating fundamental monthly mortgage payments.
The data that is contained in these mortgage indexes allow patrons and lenders to foretell what the charges are going to be for a specified time period. Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac's chief economist, said subsequent week's Fed assembly in addition to a authorities report on how the general economic system performed throughout the ultimate three months of 2006 will help determine the next strikes on interest rates.
The instrument will even establish which domain names 3.5 30 yr mortgage charges can be found for each potential business title. In contrast with the last couple of days, rates quoted to mortgage brokers by wholesale lenders have not moved much, mentioned Richard Pisnoy, one of many principals at Silver Fin Capital Group. Whereas your first few years of payments will typically be completely on curiosity- relying on whether you might have a fixed or adjustable rate or a 15 yr or 30 12 months mortgage- the payments mustn't all the time be interest.
Mortgage purchaser Freddie Mac mentioned Thursday that the average charge on 30-yr mounted-fee mortgages rose to 4.43 % this week from 4.forty p.c final week.
You have deleted all the pieces you possibly can think of and nonetheless Android says it has "insufficient storage obtainable". It's an android file supervisor which is inbuilt with Zen UI Asus smartphones but is on the market for free on play store for other devices too. Checklist-kind interface that is easy to grasp at a glance with added overview part and assist for the ASUSTOR enlargement unit. It has a Desktop mode, but this function is a stopgap for navigating files and accessing some settings, capabilities, and apps.
It allows you to access each the phone and its microSD card. Conclusion: Asus has launched some helpful apps on the Google play store and AFM is one in all them. The ASUS File Supervisor major window. Clearing out space in your phone is a vital part of its maintenance, particularly if do not have a ton of internal storage or a memory card slot. With the present File Manager set up, I open a browser tab and entry the contents of the pill, however the habits is limited.
With a purpose to clear up this downside, Google company launched the Android File Switch software After set up, this application will automatically begin when you join your smartphone to your Mac and open a window with a listing of files and folders you could copy out of your smartphone and vice versa by simply dragging and dropping it to and from the Finder's tab. Web Explorer will not be supported before version 10.
Moto File Manager is effectively-designed as was anticipated of the developer.
ES File Explorer as soon as was our favorite file manager for Android. Moreover, handy App group supplied by the grouping operate permits customers to expertise administration that may be very much like a tablet system. Just lately although, developers have added some intrusive features and a half-baked materials UI to the app which appears to have bloated up the app and ruined the experience for a lot of users. And then comes along ASUS File Manager This particular tackle the device provides up just sufficient further features as to not develop into bloatware and offers the user top-of-the-line file supervisor interfaces I've seen in awhile.
One of the greatest problems awaiting users of ASUS Android phone or ASUS Android pill is copying recordsdata from their gadgets to Mac pc. Asus PadFone X includes a succesful gallery app with customizable structure. By default the File Supervisor app will be discovered within the ASUS folder on the ZenPad house screen. MK File Explorer has a constructed-in gallery and constructed-in textual content editor and music participant and helps greater than 20 languages.
For instance, when connected to the keyboard dock, Windows prompted me to specify what I might love to do with the USB drive, and it did so in Trendy UI. Nevertheless, when I used the same flash drive with Asus's USB-to-dock-connector adapter, the drive opened up within the desktop interface; and before it did so, the desktop app popped up a classic Windows box asking for permission to run some Microsoft-authored app that I might by no means heard of. I proceeded, but I couldn't help thinking this was precisely the sort of inexplicable pc behavior that drove customers to enthusiastically embrace the lifeless-easy various supplied by Apple's iOS.
This app is rather well designed, whereas it additionally includes a root explorer, just in case your phone is rooted.

When looking at these previews, a share icon within the prime-proper supplies easy accessibility to sending the file to different apps, corresponding to attaching a photograph to an e-mail or importing a video to YouTube.
The travel nursing industry must eradicate non-compete clauses in traveler contracts. After I say throughout", I mean one that provides a decent price, comparable benefits, and will st and by you must something occur whereas on project. I'm glad to listen to that Journey Nurses Throughout America has to you, I had a number of questions about them as a result of how they recruit. As an industry leader for greater than 30 years, MedPro understands that our journey nurses present a singular service and deserve unique remedy.
The reality is, some travel nurses merely do not make far more than they did as a employees nurse. Be a part of an organization such because the National Nurses in Enterprise Association to community with other company business homeowners looking for opportunities for partnerships. If your recruiter just isn't returning your phones or emails promptly, it's time to find another recruiter or completely different company.
While these score companies are actually a method for vacationers to search out the highest journey nursing companies, it's also turning into increasingly fashionable to discuss the topic on social media. For over 15 years, trustaff has specialized in matching skilled healthcare professionals like you with high-paying travel jobs at the most effective facilities across the nation. Travel Nurse Gateway is the fast and simple method to begin a profitable and exciting profession as a touring nurse.
The outcome has been a streamlined consumer expertise for nurses searching for jobs. Earlier than considering an task, it's best to ask your recruiter if the company presents clinical support. On the high finish, many journey nurses can earn over $3000 per week. To potential journey nurses looking for nice travel nurse jobs. For example, Flexcare, which is a small to mid-sized company based mostly in Roseville, California has over 600 evaluations on Journey Nursing Central.
At NurseChoice, typical assignments run from 4-thirteen weeks.
QTStaffing offers highly qualified dialysis nurses and different professionals on a short lived and everlasting foundation to our healthcare facility purchasers. With BluePipes, you can create a travel nursing resume that recruiters and hiring managers will love. I am the creator of The RV Travel Nurse on YouTube, which conjures up and educates, current and future journey nurses and RV nomads. I have been a journey nurse for a number of years with three completely different companies. As talked about on the outset of this text, there are various web sites providing options and companies particularly designed for ranking journey nursing companies Regardless of this, it's turning into more and more standard for travel nurses to use social media as a method to determining the trustworthiness and enchantment of journey companies.
Our mission is to attach each nursing professional with the suitable traveling nurse job. I've labored for 4 different Journey Nursing Companies which have been a nightmare. Hospitals should share their particular nurses together with other institutions by providing not fulltime but temporary jobs. One of the simplest ways to combat this example is to ask the journey company what type of experiences they have had with the ability up to now.
When healthcare amenities expertise shortages in personnel, they flip to journey nursing companies like NurseChoice to recruit non permanent nurses who can journey to their location to fill in for permanent employees. Journey nursing assignments are usually thirteen-26 weeks in length, typically more, generally much less. TNC accepts opinions only from travel healthcare professionals. Travel nursing companies arrange for nurses to journey by organising the jobs, their pay, and their travel.
You have got solely seen a small share of the jobs we offer. Even when it's good to fill high-need and hard-to-fill positions, you can leverage our experience to quickly and effectively fill your 4, thirteen or even 26 week healthcare staffing gaps. Millenia Medical Staffing gives nationwide personnel for the health care area. Benefit On Name's Travel and Fast Response division works in unison with Advantage RN, our sister company, and the eighth largest journey nurse staffing company within the industry, to supply new and experienced vacationers a memorable and profitable travel nurse experience.
Perform thorough background checks on nurses as a result of generally journey nurse businesses entice those registered and licensed nurses that don't always have the very best information of reliability.

Learning and innovation Should we trust our intuition and instinct when we learn?
Should we trust our intuition and instinct when we learn?
How much of what we learn is through informal and incidental learning? When asked to reflect on where we learned (and continue to learn) what we need to do our work, we collectively come to an even split between our formal qualifications, our peers, and experience. As interaction with peers is gained in the workplace, roughly two-thirds of our capabilities can be attributed to learning in work.
We share the conviction that experience is the best teacher. However, we seldom have the opportunity to reflect on this experience of how we solve problems or develop new knowledge and ideas. How do we acquire and apply skills and knowledge? How do we move along the continuum from inexperience to confidence? How can we transfer experience? Does it "just happen", or are there ways for the organization to support, foster, and accelerate learning outside of formal contexts (or happening incidentally inside them)?
Most of what we learn happens during work, in the daily actions of making contextual judgements. Such learning is more iterative than linear. Informal learning is a process that is assumed (without requiring proof), tacit (understood or implied without being stated), and implicit (not plainly expressed).
The experience we develop through informal learning shapes our sense of intuition, guiding our problem-solving in daily work. Our narratives reveal that most of the learning that matters is an informal process embedded into work. The most significant skills we possess are acquired through trial, error, and experimentation. Informal learning has the capacity to allow us to learn much more than we intended or expected at the outset. This makes such learning very difficult to evaluate, but far more valuable to those who engage in it – and potentially to the organization that can leverage it to drive knowledge performance.
The lack of mindfulness about informal and incidental forms of learning is a byproduct of the fact that such learning does not require overtly thinking about it. Undoubtedly, though, there are tangible benefits to reflecting upon individual or group learning practices. As George Siemens argued in Knowing Knowledge, informal learning is too important to leave to chance (2006:131). This is why we need the organization to scaffold the processes and approaches that foster learning in the informal domain.
Reflection aids in informal learning, but carries the risk of embedding errors in the learning process when such reflection is private or too subjective. We must be connected to others to make sense of what we learn. When the institutional environment is highly political, this diminishes the incentive to learn more than the minimum needed in order to satisfy the demands of our senior management. Informal learning requires us to be mindful (to care) about what we do.

Gender segregation

A couple of my former highschool classmates currently in those "engineering colleges" confirm that the content of the video is sadly accurate.

Too right as well girls are a distraction and their icky too as well I'm told.
That video is an example of panic journalism. Use emotionally charged words and dramatic music, and they'll have you thinking that a million orphans are being slaughtered. Instead, they're simply reporting on archaic gender separation rules, not even trying to hide their journalistic bias.
"A double standard refers to the treatment of one classification of people differently than other groups of people." They did not report on a double standard. The rules apply to males as much as to females.
I hate to say it, but there are places around the world with a true double standard, where sexism is the norm of the culture. Think it's unfair that males can't talk to females and must use their own staircase, and vice versa? Try living somewhere where woman aren't allowed to go to college period, cannot be seen in public without a male relative as an escort, aren't allowed to drive, can't show any skin or hair, and have truly segregated public buildings, and are murdered for the slightest infraction (or perceived infraction). That's something to be outraged out.

I think it is definitely unfair that students are segregated, fined, punished in public and suspended just for talking to members of the opposite sex.

Of course. The insane laws in such places are based on extreme (usually religious) ideologies.
But that wasn't meant to be the topic of this thread. I live in the city where these universities are, and some of my friends study there. I find it sad that the educational institutions are able to get away with such crazy laws.
siddharth said:
Oh, I agree, it's unfair, and personally, I wouldn't stand for it. But to be fair to the institutions, those students knew the rules before the enrolled, and are free to leave if they don't like them (parental pressures aside). I was pointing out that "unfair" is subjective, and there are far worse rules out there.

Unfortunately, the major problem lies there. The admission procedure to all universities in the state is through a common entrance test for all students in the state. Since these universities are located in a major city, there's intense competition for limited seats, and students usually don't have freedom in choosing better universities. Besides, there's also quite a bit of parental pressure.
See here for a deeper discussion of this issue.

Sure, but that doesn't make this "right".
My major objection is that these educational institutions shouldn't get government accreditation in the first place.

Actor Vaarun Bhagat opens up about being a vegan
Actor Vaarun Bhagat
Actors are arguably the most influential people when it comes to health and fitness and influencethe millennials profoundly. In Bollywood, there are many actors who follow a vegan diet and the handsome actor Vaarun Bhagat who played a dreaded henchman in Undekhi, he is one of the actors who turned from a hard-core carnivore to a vegan.
Vaarun opens up about his journey from being a non-vegetarian to turning vegan and says, "I am a Punjabi, so I have grown up eating a lot of meat. But when one of my close friends' six-month-old baby got diagnosed with Type A diabetes and was prescribed four insulin injections a day, the doctor advised him to turn vegan. He's now two-years-old, completely healthy, and no longer requires insulin injections. So that's when I started reading about veganism and its many health benefits. Going vegan is the best thing you can do to safeguard your own health, help stop animal suffering, and protect the environment."
Vaarun Bhagat
When asked about the difference he felt after turning vegan, the actor says, "I went vegan, and I've never felt better. Now, I want to share that wonderful feeling with everybody I know. Like one of the major changes that I noticed was my energy levels while working out are much higher and I've never looked better since I went vegan. "
Vaarun, who received applause for the series Undekhi, was also seen in the series Udan Patolas, and Dulha Wanted. The actor will also be a part of Sidharth Sengupta's next big project Aar ya Paar.
