Millions Of Lost Brain

Childhood is the best period to instil the idea of a supreme being in a person, when the intellectual abilities have not yet developed sufficiently. Therefore no conscious acceptance or rejection is possible. The ability to make a choice is not yet developed. Others, usually grown-ups think on behalf of the child and if they feel necessary they force their will on him/her. Once the first seeds are in the 'ground' (in the psyche) and that 'basic fear' is implanted, turning back is almost impossible and 'detoxification' is dependent only upon the reasoning ability of the person's intellect. So, for all intents and purposes another virgin brain could be written off, 'lost'. This is the summary on the personal front. When we take up the matter vis a vis the whole of humanity, we see an identical situation.

The inception of this invention took place in the darkness of the ancient ages, while the humanity was still in its infancy with a limited intellect, limited knowledge, and a high degree of non-comprehension about what was going on around. Therefore in addition to the thousands of brains that were lost in the beginning we end up with hundreds of millions of brains won over to this invention of the human mind.

Transit Signal System Design

The system designer is obliged to consider the signaling technology available to provide the desired system operating performance at the least total cost. Within the scope of light rail transit applications, a well-established catalogue of proven technology is available.

Transit signal system design must consider not only what technology is available, but also the most rational combination of equipment for a particular application. Signal systems are customized or specified by each transit system to provide safe operation at an enhanced speed. The location of signal block boundaries is based on headway requirements and other considerations such as locations of station stops, terminals, highway crossings, storage tracks and special interlocking operating requirements.

Selection and spacing of track circuits for AC and DC propulsion systems are influenced by many factors. These include the degree of detection required for broken rails or defective insulated joints, the level of stray current control required, the frequency of interfering sources of power (propulsion and cab signaling), location of cross bonding, unbalance of track circuits, and the inherent advantages of various types of track circuits.

The worst thing about faith

The worst thing about faith - the lowest level of cognizance - is that one gives oneself 'body and soul' to the 'central authority' (the supreme creator), to the 'message' and to the 'clockwork mechanism' built around them. Everything one could and could not do is because of the order established by that central authority. What one has and has not depend on the same central authority. Hurdles that one faces in life and the suddenly opening doors of opportunities are all programmed by that central authority.

In short everything good or bad originates from that supreme creator. The believer resorts to his/her faith when he/she is confronted with a moral or physical weakness, a problem, an unconsummated wish, a disappointment etc. This way the believer prevents a psychological damage to self, and protects his/her spiritual wholeness. The believer is never to blame, because the 'central authority' of the faith has designed everything to the smallest detail. Therefore nothing could be done against this divinely programmed plan. This is fate, the 'writing on the forehead'.

LRT Operating Environment

Design differences in light rail systems are primarily related to their operating environments. Since the latter can vary over a large range, the appropriate level of signal automation varies by transit agency, their operating requirements for speed and headways, and the configuration and alignment of the track system components, including special trackwork. These can vary significantly along a given LRT line. It is not uncommon for an LRT line to be very much like a streetcar along one segment of its route, but have a semi-exclusive or completely exclusive trackway only a short distance further down the track. The optimum level of signal sophistication depends on such local circumstances and is generally determined by the transit agency responsible for providing the service.

While these issues have relatively little effect on trackwork, they have a significant effect on track alignment. Specifically, where the maximum diverging speed over turnouts or civil speed restrictions are enforced by the train control system, there are a limited number of speeds that can be enforced by the cab signal codes. The actual speed assigned to each code can vary from property to property, and a decision needs to be made early on in the track design as to what the enforced speeds should be. It does little good to design a curve to accommodate a civil speed limit of 70 km/jam if the available speed commands are 50 and 80 km/jam. Since the curve isn’t good for 50 mph, it would be restricted to 30 mph by the train control system.

Why Does Philosophy Have A Different Definition For The ‘Soul’?

Do you know why the philosophy emphasizes the soul-anima? What's the cause of the difference of opinion between biology and psychology on the one hand and philosophy on the other?

The clue exists in the meaning of philosophy: "A pursuit of wisdom. A search for a general understanding of values and reality by chiefly speculative rather than observational means. An analysis of the grounds of and concepts expressing fundamental beliefs."

If we add to this the meaning of to 'philosophize', we'll have a clearer picture: "To expound a moralizing and often superficial philosophy. To consider from or bring into conformity with a philosophic point of view."

So philosophy pursues wisdom, general understanding of values and reality. How does it do this? By speculative rather than observational means. If there is nothing to observe in the quantitative and/or qualitative sense, and if it has to analyse the grounds of and the concepts expressing fundamental beliefs it has to have a dimension which would link the material to the incorporeal, because it has to expound a moralizing and often superficial philosophy. That dimension is the soul or the spirit.

Philosophy has to find a way to explain this thing called the incorporeal and all the other subjects related to it. It is still trying. To no avail! That's the reason behind this difference of opinion.

Whether the belief system is a universal obsessional neurosis?

Emergence of the belief systems and their rules give us the impression that they rest on suppressing and pushing aside some of the natural, instinctive impulses. It is proven that this act of suppressing has to be continuous. Believers are very much preoccupied with sin and sinning. This naturally leads to repentance/asking for forgiveness. A belief system can be defined as a universal obsessional neurosis. A prohibitive attitude is much more dominant. You must be wandering why? It is very simple; if you want to create a monolithic body of followers you cannot afford to leave people free, doing as they please. In order to curb freedoms you have to set limits.

The only never changing reality is the change itself

If change is the only absolute reality and universe is in constant change how can you afford to stay put? How can you challenge the universe which brought you into existence, the universe which in fact is you on a majestic scale?

Ignorance and faith fit each other like hand and glove

Ignorance and faith fit each other like hand and glove, so;

  • THINK. So you can have a chance of elevating yourself to the level of being an 'individual.'
  • ASK the right questions which will make you search for the right answers.
  • To have the slightest chance of finding the truth revert to REASON.

Any faith in its simple form is pure. Faith should be between the believer and the central character of that 'belief'. But when a human clockwork mechanism is built around the faith for a variety of reasons, a different body enters the stage. This body operates efficiently, relentlessly and ruthlessly. It is called the belief system, which occupies the minds, influences the way we act , and almost dictates the lives of each and everyone of us. It creates debate at best, and misunderstanding and conflict at worst. It costs lives. Of whom? Of its creators and servants. Why do you think they give and take lives? For supremacy and immortality? The choose is your's.

Heat and Mass Balance

Heat and mass balance is a document produced by process design engineers while designing a process plant. Sometimes heat and mass balance is not a separate document but appears alongside the Process Flow Diagram (PFD). A heat and mass balance sheet represents every process stream on the corresponding PFD in terms of the process conditions. Normally a heat and mass balance sheet reports following data for a process stream.

  1. Normal operating temperature and pressure.
  2. Normal volumetric or mass flowrate. If multiple phases are involved, flowrate for each phase should be reported.
  3. Density at normal operating temperature and pressure conditions. If the stream has multiple phases, density for every phase should be reported along with the overall density.
  4. Viscosity for each phase in the stream should be separately reported.
  5. If gases are present, vapor fraction should be reported.
  6. Specific heat ratio Cp/Cv and compressibility factor should be reported for gaseous phase.
  7. Molecular weight for each should be reported separately.
  8. Enthalpy flow for each stream is also reported sometimes in KJ/hr.

Heat and mass balance calculations for a process are performed by applying the mass balance equation and the energy balance equation to each equipment. This provides the solver with a set of equations. Above mentioned properties of each stream are the unknown variables. This system has a unique solution when number of unknown variables are equal to number of equations. Therefore some variables are fixed to solve the system. If inlet streams are fully known and defined then the system is solved to know the outlet streams. If the required properties of outlet streams are fixed, then system can be solved to know what should be the inlet to get the required outlet streams.
