What is a cross section or a cut away view?
Imagine whatever the subject is which your talking about, then 'cut it in half' the cross section is everything you can see now you've cut it in half. like say, a mars bar (my fave XD) it usually just looks like a slab of chocolate, but bit into it and you see layer of like toffee and nougat and stuff. that's a cross section hope my chocolatey description helped!
What are your views on cutting?
I have a lot of sympathy for cutters. I'm not one, but I've talked to many, and it seems like our pains both feel similar and come from similar places. We share a deep depression that makes us want to kill ourselves. Somehow, physical pain can temporarily drown out the psychic pain, and people can get relief. Sometimes I wonder if my compulsive scratching serves a similar purpose.I'm going to leap forward now, without explaining all the steps in between. I don't really have time for that, so I apologize if this leap doesn't make sense.I believe that the black hole that too many of us feel inside ourselves, the one that makes us want to harm ourselves or destroy relationships or kill ourselves or starve ourselves or cut or drink or drug ourselves or that generates incredible anxiety for us comes from one source: an isolation from the love of people we care about.If we could find a love that would make us feel accepted, not judged, but desired, appreciated and totally grokked, then maybe, just maybe we could find something big enough to fill that emptiness inside our stomachs -- the one that is a constant weight on our shoulders and makes our heart feel like it just consumed ten cups of coffee in a row and makes our stomachs feel like they are lined with lead.Often, the road to this emptiness is laid down by parents who don't make us feel loved. But that experience can be reinforced over the years by our relationships with teachers or friends, but especially with the people we choose as partners in love. We duplicate that experience in our attempts to save ourselves through love, and we end up with addictions that reliably raise our dopamine levels, but don't solve the problem.Cutting does make people happy -- for a short period of time. But like drugs, alcohol, sex, overeating, undereating, gambling and perhaps other behaviors, it doesn't get at the root problem: lack of love. Not knowing that you are worth anything.So as a coping technique when you don't know what else to do, I understand cutting. However, I think it is a good idea for cutters to take their great brains (and most of them are pretty smart) and use them to find other solutions. I suggest that therapy and medication will help. But most importantly, we need to learn how to feel ourselves valuable so that we can seek out love without feeling like we have nothing to offer.
What is your view on cutting off pain killers to those who need it? How do we reconstruct this process?
Great question. So very relevant to today’s increasingly under treated pain sufferers.The reasons are:1)The doctors: Most physicians and legislators have not had a personal experience with severe, persistent, disabling chronic pain that many patients suffer from - what you haven’t experienced, you don’t really ‘know’. It’s just another condition like skin rash or hernia.2)The regulators: All doctors are under constant scrutiny from agencies that regulate narcotic prescriptions. Paperwork and other administrative burdens can be heavy. It is easy for them to hold off on essential pain killers than deal with the regulatory red tape.3)The patients: Because a small percentage of patients misuse pain killers just as one can misuse alcohol or psychedelic drugs, opioids and other respectable effective pain management agents have been, in public opinion, lumped under the general rubric of ‘drugs of abuse’4)Blame shifting: Doctors are afraid that even when they prescribe pain killers to patients they think are in genuine need, if these patients go and sell them or the drug gets stolen and ends up on the streets, they (doctors) will be somehow held accountable5)The Moralists: And most importantly, the ‘moralists’. “God gives you pain to purify your soul…” and a thousand other similar statements. They think they’ll go to heaven if they suffer. They also believe they’ll go to heaven if they prevent someone else’s suffering be eased by chemicals (pain killers).After all, pain relievers are an invention of the devil to sabotage God’s efforts to purify the soul by corporal suffering .Trust me, there are lots of such people, you see them every day - and they sincerely feel they are doing the right thing by asking someone to tolerate suffering, than seek avenues to mitigate it. They are honest, hard working, responsible adults, living all around us. They influence law makers to promulgate needlessly strict regulations to restrict use of these essential agents. They pray. They pay taxes. They recycle. They floss. They water their flowering plants daily. They raise good kids. They obey speed limits. They never use expletives. They have to be right. Dare we speak up against them?
What are your views on the NCERT cutting their syllabus by half?
I am really against this decision.For i think cbse syllabus is already too less.I did my 10th from icse board and side by side i also referred to cbse board for olympiad examinations.My 10th board score was 95.8 . I was the second topper of my school and my best olympiad score was international rank 238.I never felt any pressure because i loved studying.But as far as i have seen people who come from cbse board in 11 face extreme difficulty to cope up with the subject especially science and yet we know the fact that cbse board syllabus is far too away from jee advanced levelIf cbse keeps on cutting syllabus like this it would very difficult for students in the future who would never come to know about their real aptitude.
Marines. Where do I find my cutting score on MOL?
got to "personal info" and the "rank/MOS" search the list until you see your name
What does this idiom in English mean "CUTTING THROUGH THE SPIN" ?
My first wild guess is as follows: Spin is slang for propaganda. Cutting through is slang for dispensing with, not being influenced by. So cutting through the spin means to not be misled by propaganda. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_%28pub... http://www.orange-papers.org/orange-prop... How to Think vs. What to Think: A good thing to know when considering the broader implications of human history, popular culture, infotainment, and various political appeals. • Critical thinking (sometimes called critical reasoning) is the set of skills and knowledge required to determine if claims are true, false, or indeterminate possibly due to insufficient data. o One half of critical thinking is a broad range of relevant knowledge. o The other half of critical thinking is formal logic, which by itself sans relevant knowledge is worse than useless except for math and games, perhaps. (That is because logic is not necessarily based on the real world and unreal claims can be logically analyzed just as readily as realistic claims.) The limitations of knowledge or the fallibility of one’s own mind is not at all obvious to many of us, I am sure. It is extremely difficult to evaluate culturally acquired claims sans rational cognitive schemas. Those sorts of schemas do not naturally develop in one’s mind simply by growing older and are not commonly taught in public education. Critical thinking can only develop by learning underlying principles, acquiring a broad array of relevant knowledge, and by practice applying critique to claims. • Haskins, Greg R.

Why is cutting yourself (Self-harm) bad?
Ok, first of all, listen..... I do NOT cut myself. But I like to try to be intellectual and try to think about these things. Everybody says that the person needs to stop, cutting's so bad, yada-yada-yada..... Why, though??? Other than it being a sin from a Christian point-of-view, I cannot find anything directly bad from it. If you're cutting your leg every now and then to release tension by having your brain produce endorphins, it's ok. You're not doing hard damage to yourself or doing it with suicidal intent, you're just doing it as a form of release, and I don't exactly understand what the big deal is. So, please give your opinions on why you think cutting is really bad; but don't give me dumb answers like "It just is. It isn't healthy and stuff." I want intellectual answers with agruments supporting the fact that self-injury is really wrong. Thanks; and remember! I do NOT cut myself, nor am I thinking about it. I just want to know what the problem is with it.
What's your view about new rate cuts in the GST? Will that increase the revenue?
The new rate cut will impact the revenue by 1100 to 1200 crore rupees as it is informed in the 25th meeting of the GST Council.But the decision taken in this meeting is more about simplifying the GST process which will lead to less evasion of GST.So states and centre both are expecting that by reducing tax burden on the market and simplifying the process they could curb the tax evasions which will ultimately in long run will give good results.By reducing GST rates obviously consumptions of goods will increase,and this rate cuts will continue in coming days.Also Government is finding out new procedures to simplify the GST formalities. It will help the small traders and businessmen to comply the rules and regulations.So at present scenario this rate cuts are obviously reducing the revenues but if more businesses could be brought under GST regimes by curbing the evasions then there could be a chance of increasing revenue in future.
