 How can a country create jobs to improve its economy?

The government can directly spend money (build highway, bridges, airports, etc), can inject money into the economy through direct payments (stimulus checks) or incentives (cash for clunkers during 2008 recession), loans and subsidies to businesses to hire or keep people employed which means they keep spending and generating demand for goods and services.

 How do text messages "know" which mobile phone to go to?

Your phone authenticates to the mobile network via it's sim card. Only after it has proven that it is the legitimate recipient, the mobile network will send the SMS to the phone. (For the transmission the data gets encrypted, so nobody else can read it)

 Does destroying large amounts of cash add value back into the economy? Does it decrease inflation?

No. The reason being is the over 99 percent of our money doesn’t actually physically exist. Most of it exists only in computers at the bank and the federal reserve. Back in the 90s there was only 400 dollars of physical currency in circulation for every person in the country. I don’t know what the amount is now, but it hasn’t changed much. So even if you were to destroy ALL of the paper money in circulation, it would affect less than one percent of actually currency in the economy. It would be expensive to print more money, but it wouldn’t necessarily have a huge impact on the over all economy. Besides the immediate panic at there being no dollars around for buying lottery scratch off tickets and whatnot.

 Why is it okay to eat/drink stuff in a US supermarket before paying for it?

Generally, the assumption is that we'll pay for it when we get to the register. There is a SLIGHT chance that you open something and get to the cash register and oops, it turns out that you don't have enough money after all. But that happens so rarely it's not worth being vigilant about. Much better to trust your customers, and reap the benefits of that trusting relationship, than to be suspicious of everyone who comes int. In my life, it's much more about an extremely unhappy child. (I have a special-needs toddler who sometimes just cannot deal.) Yes, I could let him scream until we have paid and are out of the store. But it's far, far less upsetting for everyone if I can hand him a graham cracker now, which will keep him quiet and happy. I can explain when I get to the register if needed. It's a little more complex if we're using a self-service checkout that goes by weight. But again, anyplace we go, they probably have seen us before and trust that we're not trying to get away with stealing three grapes, or one graham cracker. The kind of theft a supermarket is worried about involves higher-ticket items. Alcohol, medicine, razor blades, condoms, meat. A couple of grapes or a few cookies is negligible, even if we WERE trying to get away with stealing.

 Why is Centrifugal force considered a construct?

It's not a construct so much as an artefact of your frame of reference. Let's say you are standing on a large, rotating platform. The platform is rotating such that you feel a small force pulling you to the outer edge if the platform. To an observer looking down from above, the force you are experiencing looks exactly like simple inertia: a body in motion tends to remain in motion *in a straight line.* You are in motion, and your natural tendency is to continue to travel in a straight line--which would carry you toward the outer edge of the platform. From your frame of reference, which is rotating with the platform, you are experiencing a force pulling you toward the outer edge of the platform, whose magnitude is directly proportional to the rotational speed of the platform. It's a "fictional" force in that what it looks like depends entirely on your frame of reference.

 Why do you change because of alcohol?

Without delving into the chemical and neurological aspects of alcohol consumption, it comes down to lowered decision making abilities, poor judgement, lack of control of inhibitions, you don't think clearly, and you may feel more emotional, all of which combined can produce results that wouldn't normally happen had you been sober. I would not go as far to say that your personality changes, rather, you see another side of yourself that is usually held back by social expectations, emotional regulation, better judgement, etc.

 How do loop stations with pedals produce music?

When a loop station is in "record" mode, it takes the input (guitar, bass, microphone, synthesiser, anything that has the right jack and volume level) and records it to its internal memory. Then when you stomp on it again, it'll go into playback mode, where it'll just play back its memory (sometimes synced to a tempo if your looper does that). Stomp on it again and you'll be back in record mode.

That's what's called a bullpup design, where the whole action is behind the trigger. It allows you to have a full length barrel while reducing the weight and length of the weapon, thus improving handling. It is slightly more awkward to reload, but the advantages outweigh that for the most part.

 how do game developers determine the level of complexity and fidelity they can get in their engine from a hardware platform?

The hardware is capable of doing a certain amount of calculations per second. The game will require a certain amount of calculations per second, which can be raised or lowered by changing certain aspects of the game (draw distance, texture resolution, model quality, lighting quality, particle effects, etc.) Developers change those aspects until they reach the point where the calculations required is equal to the calculations available, and they have the best trade off between features (ex: draw distance vs. field of view) for the game they're making.

 How do rewritable CDs and DVDs work?

To make a recordable disc, you start with a plastic substrate that has blank grooves rather than a predefined pattern of pits. The blank grooves can keep the drive on track before the data is written. In addition to a layer of metal, the media includes a thin layer of dye. Pulsing at high power, the laser in the drive can ablate or "burn" marks in the dye. Read back with the laser at the normal, lower read power, those marks look like pits to the detectors in the drive. Because the high laser power permanently changes the dye, this format can be written only once. For additional rewriteable capability (CD-RW), a thin layer of so-called phase-change metal replaces the dye layer. That material requires two extra "dielectric," or glassy, layers for protection. The drive employs a high-power laser to write amorphous marks in the metal layer, an intermediate-power level to write crystalline marks and a low-power level to read the recorded data. To the drive, the crystalline areas appear bright and the amorphous areas appear dark. As a result, the disc can be read in the same manner as a CD-ROM. The crystalline-to-amorphous transition is reversible. URL_0

 What are eye floaters and why do we get them?

There's a gel-fluid substance in your eye called the vitreous that is in front of your photoreceptors in the retina that actually react to light. As we get older, the vitreous changes a little, and this allows for tiny fibrous-like stuff in the vitreous to clump together. They cause a shadow on your retina. They're not usually a problem. If you suddenly notice a big increase in them, though, see a doctor.

When heated too fast (or cooled too fast) rocks will crack. The heat of a bonfire (500 to 1500 degrees F) is nowhere near hot enough to melt a rock (over 2500). When they form into lava they probably crack first, although pressure might prevent this or change the temperatures.

 Why are natural sugars such as fruits not unhealthy to eat, but sugars from juice, soda, or candy are?

Well look at it this way: sugar, and foods that turn into sugar like carbs, all break down to the same thing, glucose, or food for your cells. The problem isn't what they become, it's how long it takes them to get there. Take a fruit for example. You're not eating just straight sugar, you're eating a lot of other components with it, like the fibrous material an orange is made out of. Your body digests it all at once, but the sugar in the fruit is tempered by the rest of the material in the fruit, causing the distribution of sugar in your blood to rise gradually instead of all at once with, say, soda or candy. The gradual increase allows the body to use the sugar as fuel without the blood sugar level rising too high too quickly, something that would trigger the release of insulin into the blood to lower the sugar level of the blood. Insulin is the body turning sugars into fats, storing them for use later instead of right now. So, if you make a habit of eating food filled with sugars, especially processed sugars which are much more potent than natural sugars (hard candy vs apple, which is sweeter?), your body releases insulin much more often, turning more sugars in your blood to fats to compensate and keep your body in balance. Foods higher in sugar are more easily and more quickly converted into fat when they don't have something else (like fiber) to balance out how quickly they're absorbed.

 ; how is it that in 2019 we can be on the verge of curing HIV, but still have to suffer sometimes for months with influenza?

Influenza is sorta a catchall for a massive range of bugs. These bugs are constantly changing finding new ways to spread as far and wide as possible. These little buggers are easy to stop, which is why we have a reasonably effective vaccine with the annual flu shot. However, because there is so many of them and they are changing so quickly, we simply haven't figured out a way to protect ourselves from all of the current and future variants. HIV is similar, which is why its been so hard to get close to a cure. There are even different variants and subclasses of HIV. TLDR: They are billions.

 Why can't multi-billion-dollar companies simply put down websites streaming their shows/movies in HD?

Usually it is because the host (servers) resides somewhere that doesn’t recognize foreign legal orders and is uninterested in working with the company. A takedown order/request works with YouTube because they host servers in countries that have agreements to cooperate and YouTube is interested in staying on good terms with NBC, Fox or whoever.

 Why car computers are so slow?

They are different systems. The airbag system for instance is super fast (quicker than you can blink) whilst the radio or satnav doesn't have to. You also may encounter a problem with heat dissipation on some elements (and this is why you don't have the fastest processor on your radio). The infotainment system will also slow down over time as (just like any computer) will accumulate crap over the years

 If Pi never ends then how does it have a square root?

Just because you can't write down a number in a convenient form doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We can't write pi down as a finite number in any number base (base ten, base two, etc.) besides base pi (or a multiple or fraction of base pi), but most people agree that pi exists, because it has a definition. If pi exists, then we can just _define_ the square root of pi to be a number (well, really, two numbers, the positive and negative versions) that, when multiplied by themselves, make pi. If you're wondering how we calculate it -- well, the same way we calculate a value of pi to some decimal place. We make an approximation, and cut off calculating at some point.

 Why does it feel different to be under a warm blanket in a cold room than it does to just be in a warm room?

I'm thinking it might have to do with cold air on skin and cool air breathed in while the rest of the body is warm under the covers. So, the contrast in temperature is what feels so good? Edit: The body controls temperature through sweating (warm blood inside sent to the skin to cool). Under the covers the skin is warm with cool breathing brings cooling to the inside without moving blood. Maybe the body temp control system is operated differently and that's refreshing. Just thinking out loud.

 Why is sin of (pi minus an angle) equal to sin of that angle?

The easiest way to visualize it is probably to look at a picture like [this]( URL_1 ). (sorry, it's hard to explain using just trig without pictures). So, your normal sin(theta) would be like the triangle in quadrant1 (top right). Now go look what happens if you to to pi-theta (i'd recommend going to pi, and then go backward theta degrees). You have the triangle on the left(in quadrant 2). The sin of those 2 is the same, right? sin is opposite/hypotenuse. They have the same hypotenuse and the same height(opposite) > the sin of pi is zero It is 0. What is the length of the "opposite" if you let that triangle on the left go to pi? 0. edit: Here is [another]( URL_0 ) image if you prefer, with things drawn to scale. First picture is a bit ovally, sorry (i didn't draw it)

 Why is it so much easier to confuse left and right than up and down?

Because it's on a different axis for which you have no physical and inherent point of reference. Down is with gravity, up is against. There's a constant physical reminder of this. Imagine if gravity were always pulling you left - it would be a constant reminder of what left was. As humans are largely externally symmetrical, they need to memorize left vs right.

 How does the flash bang work and what's the feeling being flash banged? Does it really work like in FPS games?

> Does it really work like in FPS games? During army basic training I was, accidentally, flash-banged. The platoon had set up a bivouac for the night and we expected to be 'attacked'. I got to sleep for the first watch so naturally I was awoken by said attack. Some shots and then a flash bang landed about 3-4m from my head. When it went off I was completely incapacitated. I wasn't blinded because I had turned away but I was stunned. Someone I vaguely remember is standing a foot in front of me and appears to be yelling but I can't hear him. He goes away and I look around. Apparently I'm in a wood and I'm cold. There are people running around. I recall something about a gun, oh there it is, I get the feeling I should pick it up. The other guy comes back, still yelling. Now I recognize him, he's the platoon sergeant. I try to say that I can't hear, but I have no idea whether any words came out so I point to my ears and shake my head. I remember the flash-bang so I point to where it was and he sees the debris and realizes what happened. It was a good 10 minutes before I could hear again even partially. I still had to stand my turn at watch.

 Why do so many turn-based RPGs use four-person parties instead of another number?

If we look back to the early days of Dungeons & Dragons (though not the very original release, which had 3 classes, but the first supplemental as well as the bigger releases like Advanced D & D and the Basic Set), we can see the origins of the four "classic" RPG archetypes: Warrior, Thief, Cleric, Wizard. In a lot of ways, most future RPG classes can trace back to these archetypes or are created by combining or augmenting one or more of these archetypes: heavy, armored fighter, light/sneaky fighter, offensive magic user, and defensive/healing magic user. These are four very distinct roles with a clear flavor and usually distinct visual style. Fast-forward a bit to the original Final Fantasy, one of the forerunners of the party-RPG, and you see a four person group, with the character options loosely fitting into those groups: Fighter (heavy), Thief and Monk (light), Black Mage (offensive magic), White Mage (defensive magic) and Red Mage, acting as a hybrid. While there's room to explore and mess around with the traditional party setup, the design of the game is such that you'll be prepared for most challenges with a nice variety of those classes, creating a sense of teamwork and reliance on each character for different scenarios. Of course, that four-person-group is not a hard and fast rule by any means. You can get most of that in a three-person group and you can have an additional role or double up in a five-person party. But as a general starting point, the crux of RPG character types starts with those four classic divisions, so it's very common to see a four-person party setup in the typical RPG..

 Why do you need non-linear activation functions in neural networks? What is the problem with linearity?

Okay, you are asking for an ELI5 for a pretty advanced statistics/computer science topic. Hope you will settle for a “ELI Freshman in College” instead! It has been shown that neural networks are forms of nonlinear regression analysis. A linear neural network would just be a form of linear regression. But we also know that for a liner system so-called “ordinary least-squares” (OLS) regression analysis is the Best Linear Unbiassed Estimator (BLUE) and that all other linear estimators are either biased, statistically inefficient, or have other statistical problems. In the case of a liner neural net, the estimator would be statistically inefficient. In short, we don’t use linear neural nets because there are better techniques (OLS) with which to analyze the data.

One way to make it work is to take money you made and make that money through a company that is based somewhere with weak laws. For example, in the US, you owe taxes on creative property. This is the case in every state except Rhode Island. So, Coca Cola has a subsidiary based in Rhode Island the owns their logos and colors, and they rent it from that company for like $1. In this way, Coca Cola avoids paying for that property, but still makes money liscencing it

 Why does x/0 not equal ∞?

Think of it like this. When you're dividing something, you're asking a question. When you see "1 / 2 = 0.5," you're seeing the question "If you take one and cut it into 2 pieces, how big is each piece? It's 0.5 the size of the original piece." Likewise, "1 / 10 = 0.1" means "if you take 1 and cut it into 10 pieces, each piece is 0.1 times the size of the original." Now, taking 1 / 0... how do you do that? How do you take 1 thing and cut it into 0 pieces? You can't do that, the question doesn't make sense. Flipping it around and applying algebra, if: x/0 = ∞, then x = 0 * ∞. But anything times 0 is just 0, so... x = 0? Clearly not, but that's the way the math works. So that's got to be wrong, too.

 How do anti-malware programs determine what is malware and what isn't?

One of the oldest methods is the signature based detection, this is basically a big list of "this file is bad", unfortunately malware creation kits allow people with no skill to pump out vast numbers of new malware so this method is not viable any more. Another old method is the heuristic detection, rather than looking for an entire bad program, they look for bits of code used by malware writers, this is great because the automated toolkits that make new versions of the old malware generally just re-arrange older code to try and get past security tools. The problem is you need to rip apart the malware that gets through and update your heuristic signatures. But if the malware gets through how do you know to pick it apart? One of the more common techniques is to apply a weighting to the program and watch it. If the program starts watching your keyboard, add a few points to the bad side of the scale. If it starts talking to the internet again add "bad" points but not a lot as it could be legitimate. If it accesses a site known to be used by malware, add a whole bunch of "bad" points and so on. Once the program racks up enough bad points kill it and tell the user. The continuous monitoring of the program is necessary because malware will often be designed to modify itself or download extra bits whilst it is running to try and hide from older types of antivirus software.

 Why are peanut allergies so common?

Scientists actually aren't 100% certain. The root cause of the peanut allergy isn't well understood. Two of the most likely explanations: 1. Peanuts contain severa unique types of protein not widely found in other foods. There is also evidence that roasting peanuts makes these proteins more likely to cause a harmful reaction because roasting changes the proteins' shape. 2. A peanut allergy may be the result of an overactive immune system which in turn is the result of having *too* healthy of a society. Basically, modern society has done such a good job at eliminating our exposure to nasty stuff that our immune systems may be "underemployed," so to speak, and thus look for things to attack. This may also explain an overall rise in food allergies over the last several decades.

 Why do smaller downloads seem to go at slower speeds/Larger downloads at higher speeds?

It takes time to establish a Connection to the server you're downloading from, which may seem longer with smaller downloads since the time it takes to establish that connection might be as long as the actual download time. Also smaller downloads usually contains a lot of smaller files instead of a few big files (bigger files are easier to download than a lot of smaller files).

 Can babies drink water? If not, how come?

*Can* babies drink water? Sure. What I think you’re really trying to get at is *should* babies drink water. For that question, the answer depends on age. Generally, the medical recommendation is infants under the age of 6 months should *not* drink water. Part of this has to do with the amount of stomach space available. Infants have very small stomachs, so you don’t want to give them water, fill up that stomach, and make their body think they aren’t hungry. Babies need a lot of calories to keep up with all the growth going on. The other part has to do with the balance of nutrients. With too much water, you can throw off the body’s ability to absorb nutrients at the proper rate. I say too much, because an infant’s diet is completely liquid, containing a high percentage of water. This is why infants do not need additional, straight water until they are eating solid food. Their diet provides all the necessary water at appropriate ratios to facilitate proper nutrient absorption. EDIT: typo

The whole reason that carbon makes a really good basis for the formation of complex life is because of the huge variety of compounds that carbon can form. Carbon is an incredibly versatile element that can form everything from diamond (the hardest substance known) on down, and at reasonable temperatures you can find carbon compounds that are solid, liquid or gas, making exchange of nutrients with the outside world much easier. It would actually be something of a surprise if there \*wasn't\* such a wide variety of life given such an amazing starting material. Trouble is, there's very little else in the periodic table that has the same properties. Silicon can form long-chain compounds in the same way carbon can, but only when combined with oxygen, and even then it's not anywhere near as versatile, so if silicon based life existed it might not have the same variety. As for anything else, it just doesn't work--any life based on something other than carbon or silicon would have to be so utterly alien that we haven't even thought of how it might work.

 What is 'fitness'? As in, why is working out easier the more you work out?

When we do cardio, blood is more directed towards the muscles you are working out (and away from places that aren’t doing a whole lot at that time). The blood flow is increased. The volume of blood is also increased when it is returning to the heart. Over time, the left ventricle enlarges to adapt to the larger blood flow. Now this ventricle can hold more blood and eject more blood per beat (even when resting). This decreases the heart rate over time. There is also evidence that exercise stimulates the production of new blood vessels. This creates more efficient circulation. Also, there is evidence that at the same time that cardio increases the number of blood vessels, resistance training increases the size of those blood vessels. This allows for fewer blockages and more efficient blood flow. The new blood flow (with fresh oxygenated blood) helps keep your other body parts healthy (like your organs).

 why should you only sleep in short intervals after suffering a concussion?

Any changes in mental state following a head injury could indicate something a lot more severe than a concussion, it could be an ongoing bleed. This does two things, firstly, if blood isn't getting where it is meant to be, then you could be starving an area of the brain of oxygen, causing a hypoxic brain injury. Secondly, the blood goes somewhere, and because the skull is a closed system, the blood starts pooling, and increasing the pressure inside the skull. Eventually, this can lead to the brain stem being forced out through the base of the skull in a condition called "coning". Prognosis for anyone who gets this far is very poor. Careful monitoring of mental state gives a good indication of whether any problems are developing. Red flag warning signs after a head injury include: -Severe headache -Nausea/Vomiting -Abnormal drowsiness -Visual disturbances -Loss of balance/coordination -Memory loss -Becoming unarousable/unconscious -Stroke symptoms -Straw coloured discharge from nose/ears -Neck stiffness Anyone who has had a significant head injury should not be left alone for several hours after the injury, and if any of these symptoms develop contact emergency medical services.

 Why are other drinks not as effective in hydrating as water when they have water in them anyway?

In fact most drinks are about as hydrating as water. But some drinks contain a *diuretic* ingredient -- something that causes your body to throw out a bit of water -- such as caffeine. So these are not quite as effective, though (contrary to myth) they still hydrate you.

 How does mass have anything to do with gravity?

imagine holding a big tissue paper loosely on all four corners but such that the tissue paper is flat. Then you put a blueberry in the middle. The tissue paper sinks slightly. Now you put a plum, and the tissue sinks more. Now an orange, and the tissue sinks even more. Leave the orange there and put the blueberry just where the tissue starts to curve in. The blueberry rolls to the orange. Enjoy your fruit while you read this part. The tissue paper is called the spacetime fabric. It's in space and it's everywhere. Everytime you put something on that fabric, it distorts the fabric slightly and attracts things towards it, like how the blueberry rolls towards the orange. That is gravity or at least what the best theories explain it to be. Of course on earth the blueberry rolls because of earth's gravity. But you can imagine it in space where there is no gravity. You can substitute the orange and blueberry with the sun and earth, the colors are already there. The earth is only in orbit because of the sun's gravity. It is slowly pulling earth towards it only being held back by the forward momentum of the earth. ~~However, the sun is not pulling the earth towards itself because the sun is burning trillions of tons of gas every day and is therefore losing alot of mass~~, which brings me to next part. Things with less mass have less 'gravity' or a lower tendency to pull things towards it. You can use g=GM/r² to find how strong the gravitational field strength of an object is. G is a gravitational constant which doesn't change, m is mass and r is the radius of said object. So the higher the mass, the stronger the gravity.

 Why do things turn black when they burn?

Your samples are all carbon based and elemental carbon is black. Also a lot of what we use to burn things uses fuels that are also made with carbons and leave black residue when burning. Burning is a fast chemical process that generally breaks down molecules into more basic elements, in this case black carbon.

 Why do we have a 12-based clock and calendar?

The origins of time measurement were based on measuring circles, like the horizon, or a zenith in the sky. The sun comes up and goes down in a semi circle over our heads. Circles are hard to divide by ten, but very easy to divide by six. So you’ll notice that 360, 180, 60, 24, 12 etc are all divisible by six. Using multiples of six to measure time as well as circular things became the norm.

 What's going on between India and Pakistan and some guy sentenced to death?

Last year, Pakistan's intelligence services captured an Indian national, Kulbhushan Jadhav, within their borders. They produced a video taped confession from Jadhav, stating that he was spying for India. India claims that Jadhav was kidnapped by the Pakistani secret service from Iran, claims that a spy would not carry his own national passport with him, and claims the confession was coerced. They also claim that they requested consular access to see Jadhav 14 times, all of which were refused. Last week, the Pakistan Army announced that Jadhav was found guilty of espionage through court martial and sentenced to death. This was a complete surprise to many people, including the civilian Pakistani government, who had been working on improving diplomatic relations with India. The trial had been conducted entirely in secret and kept away from the civilian government. Nobody's sure what the intentions of the Pakistani military are, exactly, because it's difficult to believe that they'd risk major conflict with India over one spy; but India is outraged with everything about the situation, and Pakistan's civilian leadership is struggling to handle it. They risk angering their own military (which is more powerful than them) by working to release the man, but not openly working with India and letting the military go on will be a sign of weakness and demonstrate that Pakistan's military holds all the power in their country. Most recently, India has abducted a retired Pakistani colonel by luring him to Nepal with a job offer, with the intent to trade him back to Pakistan in exchange for their own national citizen. Trades like this are usually common with known spies, but this is a bit different, and it's possible that Pakistan will refuse to trade.

 How do filmmakers find a job after graduating from a university and getting their degree?

I'm a DP and have been working as such for the past 16 years. When you're a director, it's all gotta come from you at first. You'll need to most likely be the producer and often the writer as well. Stick with your classmates, continue to collaborate after university as they'll be some of your best allies in your career. Start a basic website with clips from your best projects and go from there. Use that site to get other jobs, then update the site over time, it'll start to snowball after a few years and you'll start to build a body of work, and a style. Then you'll be way more hireable. In the meantime, see what other skills you can do on set that's maybe not directing, just to pay the bills but that keeps you in the game and you'll be learning and meeting other ppl in the industry as you make your daily bread. Some directors I know have been editors as their "day job", others have worked as a PA, or in the AD or production department. It's important to have a "B" skill if your "A" skill is directing because it can take months or years to get a project off the ground and at first, realistically, it'll take you years to make a living SOLELY from directing. Not to be discouraging but it's just a fact because as a director, your building films from the ground up. Stay positive. Stay focused. Stay in the game any way you can!GL!

 How does buying a house "build equity"?

Lets say a house is worth 250K. You borrow 230K and put down a 20K deposit. You now have 20K equity in the house. It's the value of your holding minus your debt. As you pay down the mortgage, your equity percentage rises until eventually you own the house. If the prices have remained stable or risen, you've also gained a paper profit that you can realize when you sell. The process of paying off the mortgage is what builds the equity.

 If cats can't taste sugar then why do many popular cat food brands add it?

Sugar is not only about sweetness in flavor. It's also a quick and ready source of carbohydrates: energy. With that said: Not all cat foods contain added sugar. In fact many don't but some certainly do. It's a cheap and lazy way for manufactures to boost certain nutrition label figures to make the catfood look more healthy on paper than it is in your cats stomach. Cats don't need added sugar. They really don't need any sugar at all. But the empty calories from the sugar are like cat cocaine. They give your cat an energy rush that will keep 'em coming back for more. Makers know this and know if you don't have all the info you will be prone to buy your cat sugared food because you think it's what your cat prefers. Avoid the cheap brands that add sugar and make sure kitty is fed well even if you need to spend a few more tuppence.

Professional chef speaking. Typically, we add salt & pepper toward the end of a recipe as a fine tuning of the final taste. Sometimes we add salt/pepper early on, depending on the recipe & the ingredients; but adding at the end is a matter of rounding off the process & the flavors.

 Why do things spinning at high speeds appear to spin backwards sometimes?

This is known as the stroboscopic effect. While it does not happen to human eyes in natural lighting, it comes about when vision is only a 'flicker'. For instance, video cameras only 'see' briefly 30-60 times every second. If a wheel is rotating fast enough, then every time the camera takes a picture, the wheel has rotated so far that it appears to have moved backwards. This can also take place in rooms with artificial lighting, which often flickers at speeds imperceptible to the human eye but having similar results.

 How 3D movies work in theaters?

There are a number of different technologies used over the years. On that used to be popular in the past gave you glasses with one red lens and a green/blue one and projected an image onto the screen that was a combination of the red image for one eye and the green one for the other eye. It worked but obviously the color didn't quite look correct. With the sort of 3D glasses you get for your PC, they use glasses with mechanical shutters that are in sync with the screen. It shuts and open both eyes in turns, while switching out what is displayed on the screen, so that each eye only sees the image. It works but requires some expensive active glasses and a way to show some very high framerate video. There are other cheap technologies that work without extra tech like the one where the glasses are one normal and one like a tinted sunglass that take advantage of the fact that your brain takes longer to process dark than light images and one eye is a few frames behind in that setup. If you show somebody a moving picture of something that is turning on its own axis it will seem 3d to anyone looking at though half a pair of sunglasses. The advantage is here that it works without extra stuff, but the big disadvantage is that it only works for showing rotating stuff. The technique commonly used today for 3D movies in cinemas you us polarized lenses. essentially you have two projectors who both project their images on the same screen. One for the left eye and one for the right. Since both project though a polarized lens, the image reaching your eyes from the screen will also consist of two different versions with their own polarization. Human eyes can't tell that apart. but if you put on some glasses that have the same sort of polarized filter as the lenses in the projectors each eye sees the image of a different projector. If you have a pair of glasses like that and look in the mirror you will see how it works. With both eyes open you can see both your eyes in the mirror, but only in a weird way. If you close one eye you will only be able to see though one of the pair of glasses in the mirror image. This is exactly how it works with the projectors instead of the mirror image of your own glasses.
