Intercoastal Myalgia or Intercostal Myalgia (Pain in the Ribs)

I had a pain in my chest just at the branching of my right bronchi in my right lung whenever I ran for long and then quick. I always thought it had something to do with my chest. But finally I found the reason. It was intercoastal myalgia.
Intercostal muscles are the muscles in between your ribs, which help in the expansion of rib cage in the dorso ventral axis during inspiration. When there's a pain in any of these muscles due to some reason or other it manifests as severe chest pain...

Thankfully I had it on my right side,,
Had it been on the left side I'd have died of anxiety thinking it was a heart attack

110 A solution containing 8.0 g of nicotine in 92 g of water freezes 0.925 degrees below the normal freezing point of water. If the molal freezing point depression constant K_f = 1.85°C mol^-1 then the molar mass of nicotine is
A. 16
B. 80
C. 320
D. 160
The depression is half the freezing point depression constant. So, there must be 0.5 moles. Now the unit given in the question seems to be wrong. The unit for molal freezing point depression must be °C kg mol^-1. So, keeping that in mind, the molality of the solution is 0.5 mole per kg. That is, in 100g, there is 0.05 moles which is 8 g. 16 g in 0.1 moles and 160 g for 1 mole.

BIOLOGY
111: A host cell has intracellular bacterial symbionts. If the growth rate of the bacterial symbiont is always 10% higher than that of the host cell, after 10 generations of the host cell the density of bacteria in host cells will increase
A. by 10%
B. two-fold
C. ten-fold
D. hundred-fold
This is intracellular symbiont. Imagine there is one symbiont in one cell. So, when that host cell becomes 10, the total number of symbionts becomes 11, that is 1.1 per cell. (in one generation) Similarly when it becomes 100 in the next generation, the symbionts become 121. (1.2 per cell) Going on, in the 10th generation, it'll reach around 2.5 per cell which I rounded as two-fold.

112 In a diploid organism, there are three different alleles for a particular gene. Of these three alleles one is recessive and the other two alleles exhibit co-dominance. how many phenotypes are possible with this set of alleles?
A. 3
B. 6
C. 4
D. 2
This is nothing other than how the blood groups are. There is three different alleles, A, B and i. i is recessive, A and B exhibit co-dominance. And we have: AB, A, B and O phenotypes

NCERT CBSE Vistas Class 12 Chapter 6 On The Face Of It questions and answers

Who is Mr Lamb? How does Derry get into his garden?
Mr Lamb is the owner of the house with the garden. Derry just wanted to see the garden.

Do you think all this will change Derry's attitude towards Mr Lamb?
Of course. Because Mr Lamb has a peculiar way of talking. And Derry has been accustomed to thinking that everyone hates him. When he finds someone who doesn't hate him, who's not afraid of him, he is bound to change the attitude.

What is it that draws Derry towards Mr Lamb in spite of himself?
Mr Lamb is tin-legged, talks peculiarly, and above all isn't afraid of Derry. He's not bothered about Derry's face, doesn't ask a word about it until Derry makes him do so. He just wants to make a friend out of Derry.

In which section of the play does Mr Lamb display signs of loneliness and disappointment? What are the ways in which Mr Lamb tries to overcome these feelings?
Mr Lamb's feeling of loneliness is evident by his exclamation when Derry's leaving. He says that everyone who has come there left saying they would come back. But they would never come back. He tries to overcome these feelings by listening to honey bees, and by making toffies, making friend out of everyone coming to his house, letting kids have crab apples, letting his house have no curtains, etc.

The actual pain or inconvenience caused by a physical impairment is often much less than the sense of alienation felt by the person with disabilities. What is the kind of behaviour that the person expects from others?
The kind of behaviour that a person with physical impairment expects from others depends on the person. There are people who falls into the vicious cycle of gaining sympathy and feeling helpless, and then living miserably. People who like to be called 'disabled'. They'd want others to ask about their disability, sympathise with them and may be even lend a helping hand. But there are also people who find opportunities in adversity, who play the best game out of the bad hand nature has dealt them. They'd like others to call them 'differently abled' and to consider them like normal people.

Will Derry get back to his old seclusion or will Mr Lamb’s brief association effect a change in the kind of life he will lead in the future?
Derry is very young. His mind and will are plastic. He became a pessimist not by choice, but by chance. There was only sympathetic voices filling his ears until his meeting with Mr Lamb. And that is exactly why he was that lonely boy afraid of everyone. His session with Mr Lamb has brought a profound transformation in his life. He, for the first time in his life saw opportunities. And man's mind once stretched to a new idea can never go back to its original dimensions. So, Derry will excel.

Why to Have A Spare Blog To Post Anything That Comes To Your Mind At All

If you're like me you probably have a main blog which has a decent amount of readers. And you probably have plenty of other blogs too which you rarely publish to.

But almost all the thoughts that come to your mind won't fit the niche of your main blog. But your mind will not allow yourself to have a topic unpublished in the world wide web.
So what do you do???

Create a dustbin like blog. A spare blog. Something like ASD's - Just That.

And you post anything that won't fit your main blog there. It can be posts which can fetch you a lot of organic hits (hits from search engines) or posts that aren't meaningful at all. Or posts like your comments about the cricket match you just saw... Anything could be posted to that blog. And it could be aggressively monetized too...
Just tell out everyone that it is not your main blog, and that it is your spare blog where there could be anything, waste, s**t, etc, etc. etc..
And ask them to follow your main blog too, that way you could earn a lot more readers for your main blog too..

How's that idea?

What Matters in Professional Typing

It all depends on how fast you can type. For example, I can type about fifty one words per minute. But you may not be able to type as fast as me. But you can always catch up using useful softwares like phrase-express. I mean that is how it has been done for millions of years over and over again. Those who cannot do something use some machines to do things. That is what human beings are known for. And you know what ? If you can type fast, really fast, like I do, you can do things...
Typing fast is an art. You may be typing lighting quick in your chat client with your friends. But when you must write neatly, suppose you are writing a letter to your boss, without spelling mistakes, or formatting errors, you will have to type without errors and type fast. That is where accuracy comes into play. You may have 109 wpm speed with 50% accuracy. That will translate itself into very poor wordspeed when all that matters is accuracy. Therefore there is no point talking about speed when you are chatting with your friends and telling that you are compatible to do professional typing.

India's national pledge in hindi

 Here's India's pledge in Hindi (Romanized and hindi font)

bhaarat mera desh hai | sabhi bhaarateey mere bhai bahan hai | mujhe apne desh sai prem hai aur uski sampann aur vividh parampara par garv hai |
uske yogy hone ke liye mera prayathn zaari rahega | mata-pita, guru tatha agraj mere aadaraneey honge aur unse mera vyavahaar sammaanpoorn hoga |
meri prathijna hai ki apne desh aur janata ke prati meri sradha atal rahegi | unki unnati aur samrudhi par hi mera sukh nirbhar hai |
Jai Hind|

भारत मेरा देश है | सभी भारतीय मेरे भाई बहन है | मुझे अपने देश से प्रेम है और उसकी संपन्न और विविध परंपरा पर गर्व है |
उसके योग्य होने के लिए मेरा प्रयत्न ज़ारी रहेगा | माता-पिता, गुरु तथा अग्रज मेरे आदरणीय होंगे और उनसे मेरा व्यवहार सम्मानपूर्ण होगा |
मेरी प्रतिञा है कि अपने देश और जनता के प्रति मेरी श्रधा अटल रहेगी | उनकी उन्नति और समृद्धि पर ही मेरा सुख निर्भर है |
जय हिंद |

Get Out of Full Screen Mode in Command Prompt and related windows

If you ever worked in command prompt and switched to full screen just to know how it looks, you will know how difficult it is to get back.

If every command prompt or similar windows are automatically running in full screen, you must have set the defaults to full screen.
If you set the default of every command prompt window to be full screen you can change that by

1. Start --> Run
   
2. cmd
3. the command prompt is now running in full screen probably. Get out of it by pressing alt-enter.
4. Right click the command prompt button on task bar. 
5. Select defaults (not properties)
6. Choose window (among window and full screen modes)
   
7. If it doesn't work when you restart command prompt, do up to step 4 again.
8. Then choose properties.
9. Set to window
10. Click OK, and select save for future windows with same title.

If you just want a quick escape from full screen, or a quick look into full screen. just press alt-enter
