Can anyone explain to me what does my eyeglass prescription mean?
This is incomplete and is merely a prescription written by your optometrist or ophthalmologist. Since perfect vision is considered 20/20, they would measure in this manner for nearsightedness. O.D. (meaning right eye) 20/450, meaning should be 20 but is 450 which is extremely near sighted. O.S. Meaning left eye could be 20/75, probably don't have to wear glasses, or at least can survive without them, but do have limited far vision. I would suggest you call your doctor who should have already told you what this means, to get the correct diagnosis. You could be near sighted and developing a need for reading glasses, or many other reasons for this type of prescription. Anyway, it would have read: o.d. or o.s. Not the statistics you gave.
Can anyone explain what this dream I had means?
Well I don't really know much on the subject however I do know one thing. I was studying magick and Goetia. Goetia is a bunch of spirits that king Solomon bound up in a brass vessel. All of these spirits are real. One of the spirits a president named Marbas appears as a lion in dreams when someone sends him to you. The main reason for Marbas coming to you is to cure sickness. Now this may or may not be Marbas, but if it is you might have had some type of sickness and the lion may have made you better. The dream was very vague in its description. If it was a lucid dream then this may have very well been a vision of some sort whether it was of something that has passed or to come. If it was not lucid then maybe God is trying to send you some sort of message. After all there is the lion and the lamb. Try to explore your dreams a little more. If there are any more dreams that seem unusual then it might as well be God or some other entity trying to send you another message or they might be trying to help you interperet the previous message. Do not act on anything that you hear in dreams for this could not be God or anything good. Notice I have said entity and not angel or God. This entity could also be demonic so do not act upon anything you see. My suggestion is to keep a journal of all of your dreams and search for some sort of clue as to what the dream can mean. Write down all of your dreams for the simplest and the smallest of details can interperet the whole dream. One more suggestion would be lucid dreaming so you can question these entites as to what the dream can mean. Good Luck!
What does this quote means can anyone explain it to me?
It is a "nice-sounding" generalization but, unfortunately false. Possible-Impossible is what CAN or CANNOT be because of laws of nature or fact. Probable-Improbable is what MAY or MAY NOT be by rules of statistics. Once you have eliminated the impossible, you are left with the possible which you then have to decide on its probability of it occurring. An illiterate drug dealer claims he made his millions by writing a series of No1 litterary best sellers. -Impossible, you say because the man is illiterate. Perhaps he made his millions by winning every single lottery he entered. -Possible but highly improbable I hear you say. Yet, it "must be true" that he won every single lottery, per your quote.
What is meant by modes of vibration? Can anyone explain the physical significance?
Let us consider the free vibration case (that is, the system is excited and then it is left and now it is not under the influence of any external force). Now, the system vibrates and in such free vibrations cases, the system vibrates at certain selective frequencies. These frequencies are the natural frequencies.The corresponding shapes are called as the Modal shapes. For a system vibrating freely, it will only take certain mode shapes. It is as if the system favors certain frequencies and shapes.One common mistake made is to assume that there is only one natural frequency for a system. It is not so. A system can have plenty of natural frequencies but it is the first five which are significant. And also, on a normal usage of any system, it is possible for the system to commonly reach the initial few frequencies .Now lets bring eigen into the picture. The mode shape is the eigen vector and the frequency corresponding to the occurrence of the mode shape is the eigen value.Now let us analyse the following picture.Now, why did the system take a “U” shape in the 2nd mode shape and why not say “S” or “M” shape. Because, it is as if the system favors certain shapes. These are the modal shapes. Modal shapes are a property of material and boundary conditions.Now, why is modal shapes important. Consider you have a system in FEA with 10,000 degrees of freedom. Solving 10,000 equations is difficult. And assume the system has 100 mode shapes. Now, I can determine the deformation of the system from the 100 mode shapes rather than using 10,000 equations. How? The deformation = summation of (the modal displacement * some co-efficient or scale factor). This principle is the modal superposition principle.
Can someone explain to me what this definition means?
if you can't understand the definition.. did you try a thesaurus? well.. thesaurus.com says the definition is "weaken". these are synonyms. (words that mean the same) attenuate, blunt, clip one's wings, corrode, cripple, debilitate, dig, dig out, disable, eat away, enfeeble, erode, excavate, foil, frustrate, hollow out, hurt, impair, knock the bottom out of, mine, poke full of holes, ruin, sabotage, sandbag, sap, soften, subvert, threaten, thwart, torpedo, tunnel, undercut, wear, whittle away, wreck . amazing. looks like your teacher used the second definition on dictionary.com.. teachers.. so lame.. here's the first one.. gives ya a better image to injure or destroy by insidious activity or imperceptible stages, sometimes tending toward a sudden dramatic effect. like when someone goes to undermine someone; they could probably use blackmail, rumors, lies, assumptions that are negative to make the person feel bad or make others make fun of them. like Presidents strive to sort of undermine each other when competing for the White House. sentence:
Could anyone explain me what is meaning of has been done?
Example: Something has been done, so you do not need to do the same.It suggests something is no longer required.Try with other verbs to understand.Example: Your request has been submitted (by you or somebody else).So, submission is no longer required. It’s the passive form of voice where object (your request) becomes the subject.
Can anyone explain what this means (Lord of the flies)?
In chapter 1, can anyone explain what this section means, more like the specific word, I don't really understand why it is used here, what does it mean, "suffusion" Here's the whole bit: "The suffusion drained away from Jack’s face" It was just before he named his choir the hunters, the definition in the dictionary doesn't seem to make sense in this sentence, and it would really help if someone could explain it to me :) Thanks in advance :)
Could anyone explain me the meaning of "due process of law" in simple words?
“Due process” is simply an assurance or protection that there is some amount of legal process that protects you from some action taken by the state.For example, if your driver’s license is suspended for any reason, you have the right to appeal that determination before an administrative court. That’s “due process”. If the state suspends your license without allowing you to appeal the decision, they have violated your right to such process.
Can someone explain what this Java method means?
From what I understand - the purpose of this method is to indicate whether a player (String player) has scored a goal by returning TRUE or FALSE. The method takes the parameters String team1, String team2, String whichTeam, and String player. team1 and team 2 are the teams versing each other. whichTeam refers to the team that player is in. Since the function is of type boolean, it will return either TRUE or FALSE. The explanation is basically saying that if 2 teams are sent as parameters to the function but those 2 teams aren't actually versing each other, it will return false, because obviously if they aren't versing each other then you can't score a goal between those 2 teams. The second part says that it will also return false if 'whichTeam' is not the name of either team1 or team2. Because whichTeam represents the team that scored the goal between team1 and team2. Otherwise it will return true if you give the 2 teams, specify which team scored the goal, and which player. I guess I just sort of reworded it; is there a bit in particular you don't understand?
Can someone explain what this quote means? - Edmund Burke?
A 'leveler' might be known today as an egalitarian; someone who believes all people should be equal in circumstance as well as under the law. Burke is arguing that anyone who tries to re-make society to be "level" will never truly make society "equal." He's saying that some people are just better ("uppermost") for whatever reason, and that leveling society only destroys the 'natural order' and puts the people who should be on the bottom rung on the top. Essentially, egalitarianism artificially re-orders society.
