Why is it harder for Smarter people to explain to stuff to challenged people like me!!!

I have come to realize that it is harder for smarter people to explain stuff to me than for me to explain stuff to them . Then i think why is that ???
Well the answer is very simple, when i understand something , i explain it the way that i have understood it . And i usually have to break it down into smaller rudimentary simple parts so that i can understand it myself .
For smarter people they understand concepts in their complexity , and the explanation given to simper folks turn out to be just as bad to begin with . So the end result turns out to dumbfound us just as much as the original explanation. whereas when we simple folks explain stuff to other , they will be getting a simplified version , which can be grasped in a second. which in result makes them feel smarter.
What do you think? Was that a simple explanation?

Russ Martin Show: how it’s more than what it is.

Russ Martin Show: how it’s more than what it is.

There are a few things in life that change your life without you knowing it, or stopped your life from changing.  Change can be a good thing or a bad thing, getting a promotion or a new job is a good thing, getting in a car accident and lying in a hospital bed is an undoubtedly a bad one.

Russ Martin Show is talk show featured in the Dallas radio station 97.1 The Eagle Rocks. A four hour long program, where on normal days four guys (Russ, Dan, Alfie and Clo) discuss about the news, points and views. Recently there was a girl intern for a short period of time, Kinsey.

The show itself is highly controversial, with raunchy topics, crude language, and rude behavior.  They provide their atheistic views, and to the point blunt statements.  With a huge fan base following and equal following of people who are against their point of view.

Today I am not going to discuss about their show, but how this affects my daily life.

Shocking as it might sound to the readers right now, I must say that driving in the busy roads of Dallas, I would probably be involved in an accident a long time back if it was not for this particular show. I started my current job about a year back. I work in the construction, so I need to travel a lot. When I started the job I had just returned to the States from my visit back home. Recently applied and got my American drivers license.

A new truck came with the job. Driving around town with a vehicle with automatic transmission was fun. But combining that with traffic was, boring!!! And with boredom comes the inability to stay awake.  With short hours of sleep at night, I used to feel sleepy when I drive. To counteract the effect, I used to listen to the radio, listen to music. The only problem, I listen to music when I go to sleep. So what do I start? I start singing with the songs, with no avail. I used to still feel sleepy.

There used to be days of driving where I just had to scream with the songs just to stay awake. One day I got a can of coke from a jobsite. And I was drinking that right before I headed back home. The sugar laced with caffeine did the trick that day. Amazingly this drink which was created in the earlier part of the 20^th century as a medication could also counteract the effect of my drowsiness while driving. But I regretted that, because a few years back when I used to work at McDonalds, I’m pretty sure the 30 pounds I gained was because of the two huge glasses of coke I was drinking a day, when I worked there. I didn’t want to gain the weight that I had struggled to lose the past year.

But I had to drink the coke, because I didn’t want to start drink energy drinks and go from bad to worse. After a few weeks my body acclimatized to the magical drink, I was again starting to feel droopy even with the elixir of wakefulness. I started to sing while driving with a coke in my hand.

On one of these days while driving, being stuck in traffic, I was bored out of my mind.  I started to switch the stations on the radio. Suddenly, from the barrage of different station with music playing, one came up which had some guys talking. One of the first words I heard was the B**** word. That instantly grabbed my attention out of lethargy and snapped me back to reality. The guys were talking fast, talking what they like, and didn’t give a damn about what anyone else thought about them. The show was controversial, but it was very interesting.

Being out of stupor, I realized that the quick witted show had brought me out of my sleepiness.

From that day onwards I listen to the show religiously, that’s funny because the show basically has four atheistic guys who trash religion so devotedly.

Now, why is the show more than what it was intended to be for me?

If it was not for the show, my unusual sleeping pattern would have taken its toll. Some of the following things would have happened to me:

·        The scariest: I would be involved in a traffic accident.

·        The guiltiest: I would be hooked on Coke or other energy drink to stay awake, and gained the 30 pounds and some more which I had worked hard to lose.

·        The most expensive: I never used to have dental problem, but after working in McDonalds I had six of my teeth to be worked on, I’m pretty sure it’s because of the sugar in the drink. Getting back on the drink, I’m pretty sure that would be a recurring thing, and dental visits isn’t cheap in the states, neither is it pain free.

Because of the show I believe that I am more alert now while I’m driving. I haven’t been in an accident, and I haven’t had any health problems.  This means the show has unknowingly reduced my expenses, and stopped my health from deteriorating.

There are a few things in life that change your life without you knowing it, or stopped your life from changing.  I would like to thank the Russ Martin show for keeping their show so lively, cause mine could have turned for the worst, and you only realize about it when you reach the end of the turn.

Coke!!! My Love-Hate Relationship.

A multi-billion dollar mega business would aptly describe the business which was initially started in 1886.  It success being so large that it was once believed that ‘ok’ and ‘Coke’ were the two most widely recognized words in the world, although searching the internet,  I couldn’t find a study to validate this claim. It was however recognized as the world’s most valuable brand in 2011. The fact remains and when you say Coke or Coca-Cola a distinct image comes to mind.

Hard to imagine that the company, Coca-Cola, was founded more than hundred years ago, and since its beginning it has spawned a legion of other products and copycat companies.

Invented by a colonel of the American Civil war who was looking for a substitute for his morphine addiction, people don’t realize the background, the pros and cons of the company. Did you know that the term coca in Coca-Cola comes because they used the some minute coca leaves, not to be confused with cocoa which is used to make chocolate. Coca is the same plant from which cocaine is extracted. Well, the company claims that they substituted Cocaine with caffeine for health claims but still uses a minute amount of fluid extract from the coca leave which is not addictive.

Coca-cola was initially made over a hundred years ago as a patented medicine….a mixture of coca , wine and other stuff , which could cure a variety of ailments like cough, cold , morphine addiction, dyspepsia, neurasthenia, headache, and impotence. Can you believe that? How the world has changed right.

Now the modern formula of Coke claims to have caffeine, high fructose corn syrup, phosphoric acid, other ingredients and carbonated water; carbonated water was also initially thought to be a cure to many health problems as well.

Bottom line … most of the people around the world like Coke!!!

So what is my love hate relationship with Coke?

In my earlier days Coke wasn’t a part of my daily diet , I didn’t go searching for it , but I didn’t avoid it when it was in front of me . It was just ‘there’ for me.

Then a couple of year ago, I started working in McDonalds; another high-powered industrial name.  McDonalds, with its fast food services, have been infamously accused for its health problem. Basically: Obesity. I worked in McDonalds for little over 4 months. At the end of the four month period I was shocked to find out that I had gained approximately 40 pounds or 20 kilos. Shocking right?

Yes, blame McDonald and their mechanically produced product for my weight problem. After leaving McDonald (not due to the weight increase) I came back home.
6 months after my return I went to the dentist and found out that several of my teeth were damaged and eaten by germs. Oh the horror.... sitting under the limelight on the dentist chair

A year went by, I blamed McDonalds for all my woes. Then another year went by and I forgot about everything. Later I came across a book ‘Atkins diet’, it said in that book that when you consume sugar or carbohydrate, it turns into glucose which, if in excess within a body, converts to fat. So I went on a diet …. No sugar or carbs. What was the result you ask…I lost 35 pounds or 16 kilos in 3 months. 11 kilos or 24 pounds in the first month.

Then it hit me like a flash of lightning, when I worked in McDonalds, I used to eat burger every day, but I also had access to unlimited supply of Coke. While you were on a budget to the number of burger you could eat at lunch, I had access to unlimited supply of Coke, so did everyone who worked there.  I nearly had an average of 2 lit Coke every day. With so much sugar or sucrose in Coke (10 teaspoon in 400ml), of course I was bound to have dental problems, it turned out that I was also the root to my weight problem.

So I cut out Coke from my life. At this point you are probably thinking …..Great!!! I was thinking that as well.

A couple of month ago I had a health problem, non Coke related I assure you. I started coughing one day, and it just didn’t seem to go away. I was coughing all the time. First I went to the pharmacist and got a bottle of cough syrup, then another bottle, then another, finally went to the doctor and got anti- biotic. The cough was reduced a bit, but it wasn’t gone. It lasted a month. Thanks to Wikipedia, I had read Coke was initially invented t cure many ailments. So, one day when there was a bottle of Coke sitting on the table, in the middle of my coughing fit I grabbed a glass of the room temperature elixir and drank it. Next day, I was sad to say it but my cough was gone. Similarly it worked for my cold in another occasion. I know that itdoesnt have cocaine in the drink anymore but they still have fluid extract of the coca leaf.

I was like “damn!!!”. Coke again found a purpose in my life

Life continued….

I got a new job. The new job required that I travel a lot in my truck. Late nights and early hours made me droopy and sleepy when I drove. I was scared, it is quite deadly in the highway of Texas, if you sleep and drive, I believe that it is more dangerous than if you drink and drive.

He he

Anyways, I tried energy shots when I was really tired, but I didn’t like them. I tried drinking a lot of water, but that didn’t actually help.  Then one day in one of my drowsy state at work one of my colleagues gave me Coke, to my surprise, the coca extract, sugar and caffeine did wonders to my drippy state. Now that I think about it I regret those days when I dozed off in class in front of the professor and in the first row nonetheless, when it could have all been avoided by drinking just a little Coke.

Through various trial and error life experiences, I have come to realize that my love-hate relationship with Coke will always be there. Love it at times, hate it at times!!!

Either way, it’s always there.

Sony in a Coma

You know there used to be days when Sony used to be the king of all things electronic. It kind of makes me sad that Sony hasn't been able to keep up with the latest trend. I truly believed that if they had been more focused from the beginning, they could have really been leading the technological race.
There is no doubt that Sony was once emperor of the entertainment industry, and nokia was the king of the communication industry. Still when I go for window shopping or shopping not a single event goes by without looking at a Sony. But then I realize that I am getting more in a Samsung product for a relatively less price.
I don't get it why the Japanese aren’t able to reduce the price of their product. At the end of the day, everything is really assembled in China. I mean, iphone is in China, and almost all the products designed in Japan are manufactured in China.
Sometimes I sit down and think, that the standard of living in Japan is so high, as a result of which, companies have to pay high salaries to their worker. So to compensate for the high wages, they are charging exorbitant prices for their products. But don't they realize that if they keep on charging high prices, without any giant technological leaps they are going to lose all of their customers, upon which they will have to fire all of their workers. This is even a worse scenario.
To come back to the top, I believe that Sony has to make drastic changes in their marketing strategies. Come out with smarter technologies which will allow them to construct durable product at fraction of the cost. I believe Samsung have worked on the starting principle of Sony, and Sony just got lost along the way.
I just don't want a future without a Sony, You know, when I have my grandchildren I want them to be using Sony products.... side by side with apple (i am not a big apple fan.... but they have such a big fan base ... I think that they are going to survive)
Right now Sony is in a coma... it can go either way ....death or revival.
All the best to Sony.....Return to your Roots!!!!!!!!

The Problems of my HTC Sensation 4g

 The one thing that i want to make perfectly clear is that i absolutely clear is that i love my phone . i got my HTC sensation almost 2 years ago at about the time of iphone4. through the mist of hype that the iphone carried around it , i just didn't understand why more people didn't carry the HTC phones. cause it is an absolutely fabulous device. It has an amazing touch screen matching that of iphone 4 , with amazing camera, htc sence and all the richness of the android goodness. i loved it ... and i still do.
i bought my phone from a friend ....secondhand . but as long as it worked great i didn't care. At the time i was sharing an apartment with 3 other friends as well and..... all of them had iphones.
needless to say i could take all of them on with my htc.
but recently from around 6 months back i started having problems with it .

1.  while playing games the bottom half of the device gets extremely hot (i mean you can cook an egg on it!!)
2. the phone has started rebooting so frequently . i will be inbetween calls and suddenly everything is droped and it starts to reboot. 
3. cycle of reboot: this one is my favourite . soppose i have pics that i want to copy to my computer and i have connected the phone to my computer. when i disconnect the device the phone again starts to reboot. not only that when it has finished rebooting and everything is order.... it reboots again. and so the reboot continues on and on and on . so much so , if i had the phone in full charge before i connected it , the phone will reboot until the phone literally dies. hahaha i wimper by myself in the darkness
4. invisible enternal storage: when i first got the phone, i simultaneously bought a 32 gb external storage , cause the internal storage in this device sucks. now days from time to time , when i visit my gallery , one moment it shows an excess of 5000 photos and videos as well ....then the next time you check it out there is nothing there!!!! hahaha... just feels like a cruel joke you know
5. the soundsystem on this phone sucked from the beginning though (i hear htc one is amazing). at full volume the best i get is a sigh from me which is louder than the phone . 

but dont get me wrong i love my phone ... the games are great , it works amazingly as a book reader and the 8MP camera( when the iphone offered only 4 MP) was amazing . you could literally see the smile on my face when the OS on the phone got upgraded to ice cream sandwich .
Now i have an eye out for other phone htc One, nokia lumia, sony xperia z10 and the blackberry z10 . but i still think that htc one will throw them all out of the water . but still i have my eye out
on the other hand , i have my eye out for the nokia 105 as well ... the minimalitic phone with minimum features and which is not a smartphone , but has internet facility ..but the main attraction .......A MONTH OF BATTERY WITHOUT CHARGING !!!! :) cheeers guys

Setting up an image for the world coordinate system. Swmm 6

When you insert an image into SWMM5 , the image enters in standard size in any random coordinate. If we are with the world file of the image then the image stays in the actual coordinate representing the true nature of the land , coordinate wise . I would like to remind you that this only gives the true coordinate and does not give the elevation data of the image. Also the only method I know how to give the world coordinate to an image also requires the knowledge of AutoCAD. Cause you need the real coordinate vector data for this process. Cheers

STEPS:

1. Open Arc GIS –Arc MAP 
2.   Upon the initiation of the ArcMAP , start by creating a new empty map.
   
3.  You need the AutoCAD data where you have already created the map.( you need to do this step cause SWMM cannot take file with AutoCAD .dwg  extension
4. Click the add data button to add the AutoCAD drawing.
   
5. Add the autocad file with the dwg extension
   
    
6. The the figure should appear in the ArcGIS workspace . to get the full view of the drawing just click the full extent button.
   
   
   
7. after this . get the picture of the map, image or a google earth image that you have saved and import that into arcGIS as well
1. again click the add data button
   
   and navigate to your image file (.jpg extension)
   
2. the software will  ask you to insert pyramids cause the image has no pyramids. just say yes to
   
   it 
3. both the autocad drawing and the image are shown in the 'data frame' of the Arc Map
   
4. and when you right click the image in the data frame ... you can zoom to layer to see where the image has exactly landed
   
8. after getting both the files in to Arc Map , you have to use the tool within Arc Map called geo refrencing which you can get by right clicking on the blank spot on the toolbar and selecting geo refrencing
   
9. Now just use the double crosshair button on the side of geo refrence toolbar and select a point on the image and match it exactly on the autocad drawing . you can do this more conviniently by doing 'zoom to layer' in each of the layers after repeating the process at multiple points you get an image which is more accurately placed in the world coordinate system. have the layer in geo refrence selected to the image file as well. this is very important!!!!
10.  
11. The video for the above procedure is below but in the end of the video i forgot to show that you should also rectify the image to a given folder , this i have shown in the image below
    
    
12. after everything is done you import the said image in to swmm 5, also you import the world file which you have successfully created through the ArcGIS program. this process i have shown in the previous tutorial of how to import the image in swmm
13. now the image that you have is correctly positioned image file 
14. CHEERS :)
