Relationships :'Not a Leaf Moves Without My Will' - So Said Lord and That Includes Love

By Madan G Singh

I have been wondering about so many events in my life. I consider myself lucky that my life is full of varied experiences throughout the years. I have been assailed by many thoughts but overall I have come to the conclusion, that the words of the Lord " Not a leaf moves without my will" is a Cardinal principle of life.

After leaving the Air Force, I was one of the lucky few who was interviewed by AH Tobaccowala a doyen of the Parsi community and an earlier close associate of JRD Tata. This interview was for a Community Health Project under the auspiciousness of the World Health Organisation and was located in Palghar district of Maharashtra. I was appointed the project director. It was a very senior appointment making me responsible through the Indian headquarters headed by Tobaccowala to the WHO in Geneva. I had his bevy of scientists in various fields like tribal welfare, water sanitation, improvement in agriculture and other associated subjects reporting to me. Though I have none of these or matching qualifications, yet the interviewing a thought I was the most competent man to be the project director of this tribal welfare project. Before I took over I was called to Geneva for a briefing.

The beginning of the tryst

My story really commences from the time I landed in Geneva I was put in a good hotel but it was bitterly cold as it was the month of December. I had a meeting with the top brass of the WHO who briefed me about the project and told me that they had appointed me to the post of the director basically to see that the project was properly administered and there was no corruption. A vast amount of funds were flowing into the community project from the WHO and the previous incumbent probably swindled $200,000.I was told that they had studied my background and their confidence was high that I would not allow a repeat of such a monstrous act.I was delighted that the authorities have so much confidence in me during the meetings I was introduced to young American doctor named Sally. This is not her real name but is one used by me to identify her for the simple reason that it will not be proper for me to name such a person.

I looked at Sally and saw that she was about 5 feet 4 inches tall, extremely slim with very shapely legs. Above all, she was a doctor and I was told she has been with the World Health Organisation for close to 6 years. I guessed her age as about 25 that made her about two decades younger than me but this did not dampen my enthusiasm and desire wondered what she was like as a woman. I have once a brief meeting with her and I took my chance.

"Sally," I said. "I am here for another 3 days. Would you care to have dinner with me tonight/"

She thought for a moment and then her eyes brightened and she said: "yes, certainly why not?"

So the dice were cast.After getting to my hotel I asked the manager to arrange dinner for a couple in a quiet corner of the dining hall.

Sali came at 8 pm.She was wearing a gorgeous black dress with the slit up to the hips. This set her to good advantage and now I had a look at her face. She had slightly smallish eyes with a square chin and I guessed she was descendant of the Red Indians many generations earlier. Overall she created the image of a very enticing woman and as we clicked champagne, we came to know each other better. It was a long dinner and continued late into the night the ice had been broken between us and we were now almost friends. I shook hands as she left with the word "goodbye Sally, hope you are going to come to India soon".

"Yes of course" she replied. "I will come to India. In fact, I come here quite often to work with the tribals and I hope you will be there. It will be a great pleasure working with you." She laughed and I could not help feeling that her laughing was just like the chimes of small bells ring in a church.

The Tryst

I came back to India and took charge of my post as the director.It was a tremendous job and give me a great opportunity to learn about tribes and their modes and Customs. I really felt that I was doing some good in the world. This is the first time in my life even after two decades in the air force that made me think of such thoughts. One day I was sitting in my office when my secretary came to me and said "Sir, a cable has come from Geneva. A person called doctor Sally will be visiting for a month."

My ears picked up and I asked her to repeat the message. I was delighted that doctor Sally would be coming too Palghar and maybe I could invite her to dinner again

On the due date, Sally landed at Santacruz airport and she was picked up by our vehicle and brought to Palghar. We had a small guest house and I positioned there. It was small place situated in the woods with a lot of greenery all around and course it was fully air-conditioned.I had also arranged for a chef who could cook continental food

Sally was course delighted to meet me. She gushed "captain, it's a great honor to be here with you and I look forward to a lot of interaction for tribal welfare"

"Yes, I know that is the purpose why we are here" I replied.

Sally began to work, initially in the headquarters and later she began to move on her own among the tribals. There was very little interaction between me and Sally for the first one week, considering that she had come for a month, I began to wonder whether she would go back without my having had dinner with her. These are lascivious thoughts in my mind but these cannot be wished away. Especially for a man like me who has seen the world and his wife had left him half a dozen years back.

This was the period of the monsoon and everybody knows that Ghats monsoon is something that has to be experienced. Over 100 inches of rain falls and torrents reign making the atmosphere romantic and the countryside becomes beautiful and green.

One day Sally told me, "Captain, I have to go to Ratham village and there is no vehicle available can. I take your Land Cruiser?"

I replied "that's not a problem but the problem is that there is no driver as today the driver has not come from Andheri but there is a way out and that is I will drive you to the village." This delighted Sally and she said "why the delay, so let's go"

I jumped into the driver's seat of the Land Cruiser and put the vehicle into gear and the vehicle lurched forward. Sally sat in the seat next to me and looked at me. I wondered what was going through her mind and as we continued forward the rain began to fall. It was not a simple rain but a torrent almost like a cloudburst. Thunder boomed and boomed again and lightning crashed across the sky. I had a feeling that's something was going to happen. I had never seen long thunders strike with such boom and I had a feeling that Lord Krishna was up to something.

I again wondered what could be the reason for this avalanche. The rain now increased in speed and after a few minutes Sally said " Sir, you better stop because I wonder if you can see anything as the visibility is reduced to almost zero"

" Yes," I said "that's a good idea," as I piloted the Land Rover to a halt by the side of the road. Let me tell your friends it was not much of a road really and basically, it was just kutcha path through the mountains. As we sat in the Land Cruiser I began to wonder about these strange events which are taking place. I said, more to myself' "Looks like this is the hand of Lord himself"

She caught on and asked, "who is the Lord?"

I replied "He is Lord Krishna, who really runs the universe. He is omnipotent everywhere and there is one quotation in the Bhagavad Gita which about sums up the essence of life. It says "not a leaf moves without my will"

"Do you believe, "she asked

Yes" I replied "I do believe it and if we are together here with rain all around it can only be the handiwork of the Lord himself"

Sally looked out of the window at the rhythmic pattern of the rain falling on the earth. What was she thinking? I didn't know as I said something which I wanted to say so many times.

"Sally, I must say you are the most wonderful beautiful girl I've ever seen". She smiled back at me and replied "I knew it all along, in fact, I have been sure. I have seen your eyes following me and believe me I knew the driver was not available today and I wanted to come with you alone." I was in for a shock as now it transferred that this visit has been planned by Sally, as she knew the driver was not there and I would drive the vehicle.

She just looked out of the window and whispered "Captain, I had a weird dream yesterday. A man big and strong took me in his arms and carried me away. He seemed to jump over the clouds as he held me tight. I couldn't breathe and I couldn't see my abductors face, but something told me it was you." That's when I engineered this little plot today, but I never knew the heavens would break asunder and I would be in the position I am now.

These words hit me like an avalanche and impulsively I caught her hand. She made no attempt to pull it back as I carried it forward to my lips. I kissed the knuckles, the inside of the palm and sucked the thumb and each finger. She made no attempt to pull her hand away and then suddenly thunder and lightning crashed and the cruiser shook like an aspen leaf.

There was no word spoken between us as lightning and thunder crashed across the sky and the rain beat on the earth. I had pulled the seat into the reclining position and took her face in my hands and kissed her lips, her nose, her cheeks, her chin for what seemed like an eternity.

"Sally, Sally" I whispered "you are my girl and if God wills and if the Lords feels maybe this day will have some memories, later on. I will not describe further what happened because it is something so primordial, something so glorious, something like the dance of Shiva as I undressed Sally. I made ferocious love to her. I am a fitness freak, a golfer, mountaineer, horse rider and these held me in good stead as with the rain beating all around and the Land Cruiser shaking like a leaf and with thunder booming, again and again, Sally became mine. At the back of my mind, I had no regrets that I had seduced the girl two decades younger than me. All I knew at that moment was that this girl was mine and the great lord had given her to me

The rain stopped but we continued in on our path to Eden. It was a delight as nightfall came and the stars begin glittering in the sky as the monsoon had gone. In the clear sky with no rain and monsoon, I carried Sally onto the soft earth for one last fling like the last post sounding the retreat.

We returned late at night and next day when I was in the office I received a cable from the head office at Geneva calling Sally back. I was loathed to let her go but after a last farewell lingering kiss, she left. I was left wondering at this tryst of destiny in the jungles and the mountains of the Ghats and I thought what could be the result.

Hand of the Lord

Sally soon resigned from her job and left for America. She rang me up before leaving and said she was going away to America but she said something which will remain in my memory forever. She wrote to me saying "I am caring something which is a gift of the Lord". I wondered what she meant and try to take Sally out of my mind after another 2 months Shirley sent me an email in which told me that the gift which I have given was the gift of the Lord himself.

She said she believed Lord Krishna and she further strengthens by the fact that very soon in the months to come she would carry my gift into the world. The story must end here because what happened after that would sound more like an anti-climax. I learned Sally was married, a fact she never told me. She was also childless for 4 years. I am convinced that when Lord Krishna says "not a leaf moves without my will" is nothing but true.

Healthy :Top Reasons to See a Dentist in the Near Future

By Karina Popa

It takes years for most people to visit their dentist - probably because of fear, lack of funds, or the thought that their teeth are fine. No matter what the reason, going to the dentist two times a year will let them take good care of their smile.

Individuals who have not visited a dentist in years, should take a look at the list of "7 Top Reasons to See a Dentist" to encourage them to take better care of themselves.

Preventive Care on a Regular Basis Will Save Both Teeth and Money

It is easier to solve dental problems when they are just starting, before they get worse and cost more. As an example, a tiny cavity could be fixed for a few hundred dollars before it becomes a decayed tooth that requires a costly root canal and crown.

To Address Serious Halitosis or Bad Breath

At times, persistent bad breath may indicate a more serious problem. Halitosis can be brought about by a dry mouth, tobacco products and leftover food. Nevertheless, this can also be caused by other underlying health issues like chronic bronchitis, diabetes, kidney or liver ailment or sinusitis. When people suffer from bad breath, they should visit their dentist at once.

To Repair the Damage Caused Through the Years

It is important for people to brush and floss everyday their whole life through. Older individuals, though, are more prone to dental conditions like gum disease and plaque buildup. Furthermore, tooth and tooth root decay are more common among older adults, particularly if they have old fillings.

To Maintain a Healthy Smile

To enable teeth and gums to stay in top condition, it is crucial to brush and floss at home, but to achieve a healthier smile, people should visit their dentist on a regular basis. A dentist can get rid of the plaque underneath the gum line, as well as spaces between teeth that are hard to reach, which cannot be reached by a toothbrush. Moreover, a dentist can provide dental treatments to give long-lasting plaque protection.

It Has Been Years Since the Last Visit to the Dentist

Even though teeth look fine and oral hygiene is excellent, it is always wise to visit the dentist two times a year. Though all teeth look fine on the outside, a dentist may detect other dental care problems. Regular checkups, tests and x-rays can maintain healthy teeth, and keep them bright for a long time.

When Gums are Bleeding

When there is blood in the sink while brushing, it is best to visit the dentist. Gums may bleed due to vigorous brushing. However, it may also be caused by the buildup of plaque underneath the gums. When left untreated, plaque can result to tooth decay and gum disease. Bleeding gums can mean the presence of gum disease that can result to tooth loss.

To Avoid Tooth Loss

Daily habits of proper brushing and flossing are perhaps the primary, most effective and inexpensive way to avoid tooth loss. The next step is to visit the dentist for dental care two times a year. Preventive dental care that comes with professional cleaning, fluoride treatments and exams are critical in avoiding tooth loss. Regular visits can help the dentist in determining any dental problems early in time before they can get worse.

Dental Care :What Are Some Different Types of Dentists?

By Karina Popa

When the term dentistry comes to mind, people may recall their family dental clinic, where they go to have their teeth cleaned and checked. However, the dental profession is much bigger than they think, and general dentists are only one of the specialties in the study of dentistry. For those who want to know more about the other dentist types, they can continue reading.

General dentist

Everyone's family dentist is a general dentist who regularly looks after the oral health of his/her patients. Majority of the work of these professionals involves preventive oral care, which covers regular dental cleaning, x-rays and teaching patients about oral care at home. General dentists are in charge of restorative oral care - like treating tooth decay by substituting it using artificial fillings, preparing chipped, cracked or missing teeth, as well as whitening services. They treat oral problems brought about by gum disease plus root problems below the gumline. They can guide patients in getting braces, mouth guards and false teeth, among other treatments. Since a general dentist is the health care practitioner that people most often see, they also monitor the health of the patient's mouth, head and neck to make sure there are no problems.

General dentists can treat a lot of conditions, and may be experienced in providing specialty care elements. So, they can provide patients with a recommendation of certain types of dental specialists like those that follow.

Orthodontist

Orthodontists are known to install braces, but their care goes beyond that. In general, orthodontists fix misaligned teeth, jaw bones, plus other supporting facial structures for cosmetic and functional purposes. This means to say that they improve the bite of people by designing custom oral hardware - like braces, retainers, clear dental alignment trays, mouthguard, face masks and headgear to address developmental issues. Such devices work over a period of time to improve deformed bone structure and teeth with spacing problems.

Periodontist

Periodontistry focuses on gums, and periodontists help in diagnosing, treating and preventing different gum problems. This includes the treatment of extreme gum pain and inflammation, diagnose and treatment of extreme gum or periodontal disease, installation of dental implants and cosmetic skin grafting on gums. In general, a periodontist is involved in anything that has got to do with extensive work to be performed on gums. Gum disease treatment occupies a huge part of periodontistry. Therefore, periodontists usually give advice to general dentists on the prevention and treatment plans that will fit the patient's lifestyle.

Endodontist

The tooth's inner part, also known as the "pulp", is covered by the tooth's hard enamel plus inner layer of dentin and is located below the gumline. It is soft, consists of sensitive living tissue and is part of the tooth which endodontists focus on. The tooth pulp can get damaged, rotten or inflamed because of trauma, injury or decay, so this needs to be either removed or treated. When treated and preserved, the tooth can be kept alive inside the patient's mouth. However, when it can no longer be preserved, it usually requires a treatment called root canal, which is the most commonly performed procedure by endodontists.

Healthy :Mistakes That Can Be Prevented When Choosing a Dentist

By Karina Popa

Deciding on a Dentist Because of Price, Availability or Location

When looking for a dentist, people should not give primary importance to the low price being offered, location that is near their home/work, or immediate availability. The first step to consider is the training undergone by the dentist and staff, plus the ability to provide high quality preventative dental care, and to treat diseases/decay in the advanced state.

Some of the important qualities to consider are:

Dentist Training

Patients should ask about a dentist's experience and training in terms of the procedures desired or needed.

Comfort

They should inquire about the amenities, and know whether they can make treatment more comfortable - for example with nitrous oxide or similar advanced technology.

Fees and Payment Options

They should find out if dental insurance is accepted, and how much should be paid out of their pocket.

Recommendations

Patients should check out dental office reviews. They could request for a list of dentists within their vicinity, who are members of ADA, other professional associations or a local dental society. They could also read online reviews of other patients.

Consultation

Once patients have a list of potential dentists, they could contact or visit their office prior to making an appointment. They could ask if the dentist is a member of a renowned association like ADA, and find out which of the dental procedures are performed in-office or out. They should know how early they need to schedule checkups and cleanings.

On their first visit, they can inspect the office and see if it is clean, tidy and orderly. Are the staff members friendly? Do they carefully keep a patient's dental and medical history? Is the office child friendly? Does the front desk receptionist attend to patients immediately? Is he/she respectful?

Other Things to Keep in Mind:

Does the dentist and staff have good communication skills?

Do patients feel at ease when asking the dentist questions?

Can the recommendations/referrals of the dentist be trusted?

Is there a Digital radiography that lessens unnecessary radiation exposure in the office?

Does the office have advanced technologies, like a laser, to find cavities, digital radiography and/or intraoral cameras to detect existing problems in the mouth?

Does the office guarantee its services, as well as promote optimum dental health, and not treat patients like customers that come and go?

Selecting a Dentist Because of the Very Low Advertised Price

No one would jump out of an airplane using a cheap parachute. When patients like to maintain their teeth, they should not entrust their health to dentists who have nothing special to offer but discounted services.

3 Reasons why this can backfire:

It is like walking into a trap and being scammed when the dentist offers a very low price without revealing the hidden costs until the patient sits in the dental chair.

Usually, low price means minimal care that can make a patient more prone to decay and disease.

More often than not, patients get poor care from a dentist who lacks experience and training.

Why trust a cheap advertisement that will let patients spend more than usual for services desired or needed, when they can go for trained and experienced dentists who think about what is best for their patients.

Dental Care :Tips on How to Choose a Cosmetic Dentist

By Karina Popa

Since cosmetic dentistry is not considered as an area of specialization by the American Dental Association, some general dentists present themselves as cosmetic dentists. How will you know if a certain cosmetic dentist can be trusted? Here are some tips to consider in looking for a cosmetic dentist.

Training

A cosmetic dentist who has undergone proper training has taken postgraduate courses on porcelain veneers, as well as cosmetic dental procedures - such as laser dentistry, all-white restorations and Invisalign. Patients should ask their potential dentist about the cosmetic courses he/she has completed.

Associations

The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry is the most popular association for cosmetic dentists. Being a member of the AACD does not necessarily mean that a dentist is good, but at least it shows that the dentist is serious enough about his line of work to spend for membership.

Payment Options

Health insurance does not cover cosmetic dental enhancements. so patients will want to choose a dentist who accepts credit card payments or provides payment schemes.

Scheduling

What are the office hours of the dentist? Does it fit the schedule of the patient? Will the dentist treat the whole family as well?

Location

Usually, cosmetic dental enhancements require several visits. It would be more convenient if the dentist's office is accessible to a patient's home or work.

Time Required

Dental enhancement may take time to complete. The patient has to make sure that the dentist is available during his/her treatment.

Technology and Anesthesia

Dentists that perform modern procedures make use of advanced technology like dental laser, digital X-rays, intramural cameras and chair-side monitors, among others. Patients can inquire from the dentist about the available technology in his/her office. They may want to know the kind of anesthesia/sedation that will be used.

Comfort

Does the patient feel at ease in the dentist's office? Are the personnel friendly? Is it okay to ask questions and are the answers acceptable?

Before and After Photos Cases

An expert cosmetic dentist has an album or online images of before and after cases that can be reviewed by patients. Patients should request their dentist to show a case like theirs.

Previews

Is digital imaging offered by the dentist for patients to see the predicted results before committing to treatment?

Do not just allow any dentist to perform a dental procedure on you. Cosmetic dentistry done successfully is safe, efficient and lasting, however, any poorly done dental procedure can lead to complications. Patients should be open when interviewing their dentist. A number of dentists often give a cosmetic consultation for free so patients could meet and talk about their expectations.

When a dentist meets the majority of patients' criteria, they can proceed with examination and pay attention to his/her treatment plan. They should talk about scheduling and financing. Patients should feel at ease and confident in the dental office. When a smile is beautiful and made to last, it can boost a person's self-confidence, and pave the way for a lot of opportunities he/she has never imagined.

Healthy :Mistakes Often Made When Deciding on Plastic/Cosmetic Surgery

By Karina Popa

Patients who plan to undergo plastic or cosmetic surgery would certainly like to get the best possible results so they should read this article. The five top mistakes that patients often make when deciding on going through surgery and ways to avoid them are as follows:

Not practicing due diligence

Patients should thoroughly check the background of their chosen surgeon, if he/she has the proper credentials, but they should not have limited resources. They should not decide on a surgeon just because of reviews on social media, a number of photos or worst of all, because of price. They should make sure to research about their surgery, what it involves, and the options/alternatives available - since there are surgeons who do not talk about certain procedures unless they perform them. They can also refer to testimonials, as well as before and after images.

Going Abroad

Some people who are interested in having plastic/cosmetic surgery go to the extent of traveling all the way to another country to avail of a bargain. Though some results are positive, there are cases when surgery gave an unfavorable outcome because of factors like language barriers, few or no consultations, limited support, untrained or unaccredited surgeons who do not meet the standards, and no accountability of the surgeon. It is risky to go under the knife abroad, and may cause patients to pay more to have the surgery revised with unsure results.

High/Unrealistic Expectations

The common mistake that most plastic/cosmetic surgery patients make is expecting an unrealistic outcome. The results of plastic/cosmetic surgery are different among patients, so they should not compare their procedure with what their friends have gone through, or stories heard about other people. Most patients think that the scars that are left behind depend on the surgeon's skill, but these also could depend on factors like genetics, as well as lifestyle and overall health.

Not thinking about the risks

There are possible risks and complications involved with going through all types of surgeries and so, patients should understand these. They should ask their potential plastic/cosmetic surgeon all the questions they have in mind, and expect the doctor to explain the possible risks to them in detail. While all types of surgeries come with risks, these can be minimized by ensuring that the surgeon is qualified, trained and certified by the board. Revision surgery to address a poorly done surgical job involves additional risks, therefore, it is best to do the first procedure right.

Not taking full advantage of consultation.

Once a patient decides on the surgeon who will perform the procedure, he/she should prepare a list of questions to fully prepare them for the actual consultation. A lot of patients fail to ask critical questions. As a start, they should make sure to ask if this type of procedure is best for them, the side affects of the operation if any, and how many times the doctor has done it. These are only some of the important questions, but there's more. In addition, it is crucial to disclose all information, including their diet, the supplements they take and their unhealthy habits if any like smoking. Though they might think all these are not that important, these mistakes could actually affect the surgical procedure results, as well as the patient's recovery.

Healthy :Mistakes People Usually Make When Deciding on a Cosmetic Surgeon

By Karina Popa

It is crucial for patients to choose the cosmetic/ plastic surgeon who is right for them so that they will stay safe and achieve the favorable results they desire. There are some factors to think about in choosing a cosmetic/plastic surgeon, whether it is for a facelift, breast augmentation or any cosmetic procedure. These are the following:

It Is Critical To Know The Credentials Of The Cosmetic/Plastic Surgeon.

When choosing a cosmetic/plastic surgeon, patients can make the big mistake of not practicing due diligence and verifying the credentials of their chosen surgeon. They should ask themselves the following questions:

Do these doctors have the proper certifications and licenses?

Do they have accreditation from the proper associations?

Do they have sufficient training in the field of cosmetic/plastic surgery?

These have to be taken into consideration in order to achieve a positive outcome.

Do Not Undergo Plastic Surgery With Unrealistic Goals Or High Expectations

In the field of plastic surgery, high and unrealistic expectations can pose as a problem. It is important to have realistic goals and not too high expectations of what plastic/surgery can do. People can request for before and after photos of patients who have gone through the same procedure they desire.

Practice Due Diligence And Look Into The Background And Reviews Of Potential Cosmetic/Plastic Surgeons

When planning to undergo plastic surgery, or looking for the right cosmetic surgeon, a person has to do a background check of the potential doctor. It is important to know if the specialist has any complaints from patients or lawsuits in connection with the procedures performed. A plastic surgeon that has many disappointed patients or complaints may not meet a patient's cosmetic surgery needs or desires.

Patients Should Be Honest with Their Plastic Surgeon Or Medical Care Provider.

Patients can make the big and dangerous mistake of lying to their potential plastic surgeon or medical care provider. To know whether they are an ideal candidate for the cosmetic/plastic surgical procedure of their choice, they need to be honest and answer questions truthfully and completely. Anything about their medical history that is not revealed could affect the safety or results of the cosmetic/plastic surgery.

Patients Should Not Choose A Cosmetic Surgeon Who Is Always In A Hurry At The Time Of Consultation

It is critical for patients to consider the attitude and side manners of their chosen plastic/cosmetic surgeon during the initial consultation. They should be careful of any plastic/reconstructive surgeon who is always in a hurry to get over the consultation. He/she should be able to answer all of their questions and make them feel at ease. This specialist should thoroughly explain the cosmetic surgical procedure, including the risks involved, typical results accomplished, the total cost of the procedure and the things to expect following the procedure, during recovery.

Education :Fit for Reading - The Cause of English Dominance

By Charley Pein

Little doubt, English is the single dominant global and scientific language in the world today. Mainstream opinions attribute its rise to political, economic, technological and cultural causes, through the influences of the British empire and the USA.

However, from the standpoint of our previous papers, our argument is straightforward: legibility [1] is the cause. The evolutionary account was addressed in my paper "visual evolution of written language towards Latin alphabet - a hypothesis". Writing's effects on the world were discussed in "effects of written language on the non-textual world" [2]. We now explicitly discuss this topic is to correct the misconceptions and affirm our argument which can be used to explain the history and present societies, and to predict the future.

1. "Being fit for reading" is the cause

We should treat writing as a tool, just like other tools, such as a pen. One pen is better than another not because the person who uses it has better writing skills, although he/she would likely to choose a better pen. Likewise, a writing system is better not because its people are more powerful. Writing is useful because it is uniformly arranged. The legibility of the arrangement certainly has an effect on its usefulness. Different writing systems have varied levels of legibility. When other conditions are the same, people prefer reading/writing legible [3] texts to illegible ones. Legibility (fitness for reading) is the rudimentary criterion that people choose a writing system from existing ones or develop new systems.

The letters, words and sentences are refined visually by millions of people. The visual refinement of written English is unmatched by other systems. That enables the vast publications and spread of the English writing system, maximizing the established visual, textual information. Legible systems attract more people to contribute to its expansion. Although Mandarin and Spanish have more native speakers than English, their spreads are limited due to most advanced knowledge, which is the reason for language learning, are written in English. With fitness for reading, English writings are relatively fixed and reasonable. Its speakers are firm about that, influencing the people of illegible systems. When two or more writing systems meet, each absorbs others' vocabulary, grammar, etc. to grow themselves. The English turned out to be stronger in this aspect.

Of course, legibility is not the only reason for a writing system to spread. Official status, the existing number of users, available publications, etc. all influence the spread's momentum. But legibility is the ultimate cause, either due to voluntary adoption of legible systems or legible systems growing strong to overpower illegible ones. Illegible systems will evolve in legible direction or be replaced by legible systems, which might be initially smaller.

2. The misconceptions

2.1. Nonlinguistic influences, or non-textual causes

This view attributes the causes to external factors instead of language itself, for instances, political, economic, technological, and cultural causes. These factors empower the people, whose languages will consequently dominate. People from less advanced societies would voluntarily or be forced to learn the languages of more advanced societies. To an extreme, illiterate people will eliminate all texts if they are powerful enough. Generally, this view would consider that advanced societies need legible systems, but not necessarily.

We argue that legibility factor is ultimate and deterministic. We consider texts as the center of the human-created world. Legible texts establish advanced societies, which can be implied from The Paper. That is to say, social progress is built upon a specific writing system, which spread with its societies and people. Political, economic and other situations might fluctuate, for months or even years. An illegible writing system might prevail temporarily. On the long run, legible systems would build advanced societies and overpower illegible systems.

2.2. Spoken form is the primary form of language

This view draws people's attention away from the written form. Many people concentrate on the spoken forms when comparing two languages, marginalizing writing or not even starting to think about the effects of writing's visual aspect. They certainly cannot get into the heart of the problem, not to mention finding solutions. Sound representing is a major disguise of the legibility of scripts. The truth is: the spread and dominance of oral English is due to the success of English texts. The course of English globalization is the governance of speech by the written text.

2.3. Simple spelling contributes to English spread

Many people know that English spelling is simple, thus easy to learn and use, contributing to English spread. This opinion starts to look at the written form. However, simple spelling is usually considered a trivial factor. Moreover, their opinion assumes spoken English is primary, which the spelling represents.

In sum, the root causes of the wrong understanding are not realizing written form as the primary form of language, and written language as the central cause of social progress.

3. Latin alphabet-based writing systems, English and other systems

Like English, the historical dominances of Latin, Spanish, German and French were all due to the Latin alphabet, although their spoken forms set them apart as different languages. Latin alphabet's ultimate contribution is neglected. But these systems are not as refined in basic-unit level as English. The use of diacritics, ligatures and additional letters can make the scripts worse for reading. Complex spelling-sound correspondences and irregularities of spelling also provide English the flexibility to achieve legibility and facilitate vocabulary growth.

It is important to compare Latin alphabet-based systems with other systems, because the distinctions between Latin alphabet-based systems are relatively small, obscuring the significance of the legibility factor. Compared with other scripts, Latin script's letters, particular lowercase letters, are better shaped with clarity, simplicity and inter-letter differentiation. Latin letters also make up syllables, words in legible manners. The prevalence of romanization indicates the high legibility of Latin alphabet, often under the disguise of spelling to represent sounds of the languages of non-Latin scripts.

4. The future

It is likely that English will continue to grow and evolve based on current alphabet, vocabulary and grammar. It will speed up its spread during globalization and the revolution of the media. It will be enriched by regional lexicon, creole and pidgin, dialects and varieties. More writing systems and languages might be dying out, regretfully. But the destiny of written language is to regulate, organize, and maximize the capability of the mind, to support larger societies, and to encode the world. Diversity is not the goal of written language. Many writing systems will be preserved or even grow, at least in the near future. With diversity preserved, a dominant writing system will be the foundation of mankind's common societies and common minds, governing other systems.

Business Online :The Best SEO Software I Have Used So Far

By Rahaventhan Kaliappan

I have more than 10 years of experience in digital marketing and used all kinds of SEO software. SEO is a process of researching, decision-making and implementing. The SEO processes are keyword research, site audit, backlink audit, backlink research and you need to check how keywords are performing in the search engine. There is no end for SEO process, above-mentioned are the basic process. This article is about the best SEO software I have used so far to perform all SEO tasks.

Google Keyword Planner is the only tool I use for keyword researching. I believe that AdWords application can only collect the accurate data from the same company search engine. I am not blaming other keyword research tools, but the data that how many people searching on Google search engine can be accurately given only by Google. I know that nowadays keyword planner only showing accurate search volume to the accounts with running paid campaign. My suggestion is to run some paid campaign and get accurate data as this will help in both ways. There are no free keyword research tools only paid tools you have in the market. Rather than paying only for the keyword research run some AdWords and get the accurate data.

Semrush is my favorite SEO software when working with any task of SEO as it's capable of doing all tasks that required for SEO. Even though it can perform all tasks, I mostly suggest it for SEO audit. Basically, I do the audit on three levels. The first level is site audit to find the overall site technical errors. The second level is an individual page and its content audit to optimize for a keyword. The third level is accessibility audit is to check page loading speed and user experience. I always use the Semrush for site audit as it covers my first and second level of the audits perfectly. On overall site audit, it checks more than 200 checklists and it categorized into error, warning, and notes. This gives an idea which makes most effects on SEO. Individual page audit is the most powerful tool to use as it collects our competitor data and suggest us to optimize a page to target a keyword.

Lighthouse is a Chrome developer tool for    [https://webdaa.com]SEO audit. You can get it when you click inspect by right-clicking on your page. My third level of SEO audit can be done with this free tool. It checks more than 200 checklists under categories like Performance, Progressive web app, Best practices, Accessibility, and SEO. You will be surprised at the results it gives you even it is free. The page speed check is included under Performance and it checks how you have used colors in your website. Additionally, it gives a checklist to check manually. This will help people who are new to SEO as they can learn from it.

Backlink research and backlink audit are the very important task of SEO. Even though it can be done using Semrush itself easily Ahref has more fresh data. I have heard that most SEO people recommend Ahref as it's a dedicated software for backlink research with fresh and accurate data.

Rank tracking is a very important task to know how our targeting keywords ranked in search engines. Google Webmaster Central and Analytics give search analytic data, but it's not live data and accurate. Using paid software to track keyword ranking is the best idea. Paid software like Ahref and Semrush give you accurate keyword position report with historical data. Semrush and Ahref will cost you minimum 100 USD per month on average if you are capable of buying only one software for all tasks I suggest Semrush as it has all the tools for the complete SEO for a site.

There may be more advanced SEO software like Majestic for backlink research, but I decided to write which I mostly like and used, finally there is another software I have used for keyword position tracking is Rank Tank. These are the best SEO software I have used so far. I Hope this article will be helpful to SEO beginners.

Computers :Whats New in AutoCAD 2019 - New Features and Toolsets

By Maria Williams

AutoCAD 2019 is a powerful designing and drafting software app, it released on the 22nd of March 2018. This software, developed by Autodesk allows you to create precise 2D and 3D designs. The newest AutoCAD release has a few new features, which are available with each product update.

Shared Views

The "Share Design Views" feature is replaced by a new improved feature - "Shared Views". It simplifies the collaboration with clients and colleagues. Now it`s possible to share your designs without releasing drawing files. The beauty of this feature is that the design data is extracted from your drawing - it is stored in the cloud - and a link is generated, which can be shared with your clients and colleagues. The Autodesk Viewer will open when they receive the link from you. Also, they can view and comment in their web browser of any device with Internet access.

Save to AutoCAD Web & Mobile

"Save to Web & Mobile" and "Open from Web & Mobile" are new commands available for accessing your online drawing files. Now you can open and save drawing online from any location in the world with an Internet access; and on any device - desktop, web or mobile. This feature is available only on 64-bit systems. AutoCAD web app allows you to access directly to AutoCAD in your web browser (web.autocad.com). You only need to log in to your Autodesk account, without the need for downloading or installing anything. You can create, edit, view or share CAD drawings anytime and anywhere with the AutoCAD mobile app. The app is optimized for Windows, Android and iOS devices.

DWG Compare

"DWG compare" is considered as one of the best features recently. It`s very helpful and easy to use. With this feature, you can easily recognize graphical differences between two revisions of a drawing. Unique objects of a drawing are separated by colour. If you want to exclude objects from being compared, you just need to turn off their layers.

AutoCAD 2019 software offers seven specialized toolsets:

• AutoCAD Architecture

• AutoCAD Electrical

• AutoCAD Mechanical

• AutoCAD Map 3D

• AutoCAD MED

• AutoCAD Plant 3D

• AutoCAD Raster Design.

You can download these specialized toolsets, by subscribing to AutoCAD 2019 from the Autodesk account portal. Having an access to over 750.000 intelligent objects, styles and symbols mean increased productivity, because of the faster and more efficient work.

Providing drafting services across Telco Mobile Infrastructure Projects, Commercial Buildings, Shopping Centres and Residential/Apartments.

Cadonia started operating in 2014 and provides a full range of services that includes AutoCAD and Revit drafting, 3D Modelling, and Building Information Modelling (BIM) services.

Computers :FLCleaner 3.0 & The Rise Of Web Centric Software - Does It Work?

By Richard Peck

FLCleaner 3.0 is a software application designed to help ensure that programs running on Windows, Linux, MacOS, iOS and Android devices are as optimal as possible.

Whilst the system is often referred to as an "optimization" tool, it's officially called a "Stack Management" application, designed to help people determine the underlying software "stack" they are running on their device.

Its main feature is the ability to connect to a "web" interface, allowing users to manage a network of devices without having to log into them individually. This not only means that network managers are able to consider the overall health of their network, but are also able to work with individual devices remotely if necessary.

Regardless of what the system is meant to do, the big point is that it's primarily designed to provide the user with the ability to manage the speed and performance of their systems.

Due to its original intent of being designed for software houses & creative agencies, it has a heavy slant towards the resource-intensive "creative" packages including the likes of ZBrush and VRay. When using these tools, and also the likes of Visual Studio, you'll find that you need to ensure your system is running at fast and smoothly as possible.

The most important thing to consider here is that the system has been designed around a "definitions" based architecture. This means that rather than having a base set of errors / optimization profiles, it is able to continually update its definitions when new ones are released.

The advantage of this is that it gives more granular management of the various software applications on the system, but also means you're able to keep them updated without having to resort to downloading an entirely new version of the system.

Regardless of this, the question remains as to whether it's effective.

To answer this, you have to consider the underlying functionality of the software, and how it's able to work on different systems. More pertinently, its main benefit - the ability to work on a granular level with various software applications.

The main reason why the service was created was to provide a "profile" type system for software optimization. To understand how this works, you must realize that the majority of optimization solutions in existence are "hard coded" with specific instructions inside the application itself. These instructions allow the software to run smoothly, but means that in order to update it all, the whole system needs to be updated.

FLCleaner 3.0 uses the same techniques as antivirus applications - a core "scanner" system which is able to read certain "definitions" that changes its behaviour as required.

This allows the system to track which applications are present in someone's "software stack" and then provide different settings as to how to keep them up to date and rid of temporary/junk files etc. By keeping this "profile" data in the central web repository - users are able to use the system on many different devices (unlike most of the other system speed-up tools).

Ultimately, if you're looking at whether someone would benefit from using the tool - you have to realize that the way it works (which is to say that it calls up user-based data from a central web service) is highly dependent on the efficiency of the central system.
