What do the Jews here think of this new ODD JUDAISM?

I just read about this on another post. I couldn't believe what I was reading. What do you think about it?

Look, I was surprised too when I read that!!

I'm a Christian (Protestant) and well, I have researched a lot about Judaism and there are not unified opinions on who is a "Jew" and who isn't. That Humanistic group you list above doesn't stress or emphasizes on religion. It's rather a philosophical tendency and it's not very new. And yes, you wrote it right: " So if you want to be a Jew, you're a Jew. Nothing else needed".

Many rabbinical councils won't agree with this statement or with what these non-religious groups believe. There are some GENETIC TESTS that have been going around lately that have proven most of the JEWS in the world to be genetically related or connected, with kind of like a Semitic common origin, because that's where they come from. So, technically a person could say he or she is a Jew, even if he/she practices or believes another confession. Nobody can rebuke him since there's no formal authority or regulating body that states officially who is a Jew and who isn't. Rabbinical authorities are the ONLY ORGANISMS that can say who is a JEW and who is not, but that only applies to religious families. To the denominated 'secular Jews', no regulation can apply.

Even the Ministry of Absorption of Israel, which is in charge of the Aliyas, or IMMIGRATION to Israel hasn't officialy taken a policy to say "You are a Jew, you aren't". Basically, anybody who has a Jewish ancestor and can prove it with a synagogue membership, or any certificate that officially states a person's religion as "Judaism" is enough. Theories have emerged everywhere quoting the "nonexistence" of the Jewish people, alleging that most of those who consider themselves Jews or practice the Jewish religion are descendants of converted tribes and peoples from distant corners of the world. There is another theory that says that the PASHTUNS people are descendants of the Jews during their exile in Babylon many centuries ago.

I'm confused too, but this is one of the topics with which you can't prove somebody wrong or right. Information is manipulated everywhere to benefit economic and political interests. Nowdays, it's "politically incorrect" to face the truth or at least question it regarding certain matters.

Hope you can find out more!!

Thank you!

How much do high school electives count in the admissions process and calculating the GPA?

I recently took an Engineering course and did well during the year but horribly on the final. I was wondering how much colleges will look at this considering I want to go into business.

I think that would depend on the school. If you wanted to do business economics at Caltec for example it probably would weigh heavily against you - at NYU maybe not so bad; provided all your other grades were great. Apply to a range of schools that you have already contacted to ensure you are on the right track for admission.

Thanks
Bill

One would wonder as to which interior design schools would be the best one and which school ranks well in design, after the considering the designs schools mainly in the United States which are proliferated. An important aspect considered for deciding whether the interior design school is one of the best, is accreditation. Interior design undergo the process of accreditation which is of course a voluntary process.

Whether the schools are offering the required basic program or not so that students can achieve the necessary skills which will help in their careers in the future can be determined by accreditation which a process that is voluntary. It is totally the choice of the Interior design school to under the accreditation process which is voluntary to determine the benefit of the programs for their students.

Ranking in accordance with the Almanac of Architecture and Design:

Some of the top ranking schools in interior design are ranked by the Council for Design Accreditation, which was earlier also known as FIDER, in the United States. This ranking is done in accordance with the Almanac of Architecture and Design. Pratt Institute in New York, Arizona State in Arizona, The University of Cincinnati in Ohio, Cornell in New York, and Kansas State in Kansas.

The Council for Interior Design Accreditation also considers American Intercontinental University in London, UK, as well as The Art Institute of Toronto in Toronto, Canada as the other two interior design, as per their website. When checking out the websites one can use the College Blue Book which helps in the research of finding out the best design programs.

Comparison shopping for the best:

If possible one can even visit the campus of the particular interior design schools, to get a broad idea about the programs they will be offering to their students. You may even come to know that there are a few changes that may be required in your lifestyle and you would also know the number of years you may have to stay there while completing the course.

Some of the best design schools have a lot of students applying for various courses, and after these schools achieve the required accreditation, they are given liberty to increase the number of students as well. With the number of students increasing in numbers the design have not alternative, but to be more selective as far as the entrance requirements are concerned and once this happens the design schools gradually start to rise in rank too.

Students need to select an interior decoration schools that purely meets their requirements, and should not get carried away just because the names are reflected on a list. Financial aspects, your affordability, the location of the school, and your aim in life are firstly an important consideration, after which only you can select some of the world's best interior decorating schools.

My son is in Engineering third year ( ECE) from Osmania university of Hyderabad. What should he do after that.

My son is in Engineering IIIrd year second semister. He is stydiying at Hyderabad AP India. He has selected Electronics Communication Engineering. Can any body tell me what are the additional qualities he should have to get selected in the MNCs. Is it advisable for him to go for MNCs or he can go to USA for doing MS he has already taken coaching in GRE. He has to write GRE exam. He is not fluent in english but average at subjects. He failed in two subjects during the last years but cleared them all. Now he do not have any backlog. His percentage so far is about 67%. Also what is the future of ECE. Are there any computer courses he should do. For further studies is it better to select USA or UK or any other European country. UK processing is done by some agents free of cost. Where as the cost of living in UK is more. Which are the best agents in Hyderabad city who are genuine and charge reasonable.

Uncle ji

let ur son go for MBA
A technical graduate with a MANAGEMENT qualification llike MBA is most preferred in industry and also he can fetch a good job in Management position as all we here are for managing rather working

I have gien through this article in The HINDU months ago(1 or 2) and as I am working in an organization i see the criteria of recruiting personnel with the motto of multiskilling rather single purposed.

I think ur son need to prove himself very confident in english to fly off abroad as his academic background is weak with backlogs and low percentage still he has time let him go for MBA and let him work hard in studies these two yeas of post graduation and fetch a sat in IIM or IIT.

For IIM or IIT He need to gear up from now and stat going for coachings building knowledge information and i am sure that he would be a jet plane if he can through these

ALL THE BEST FOR U n ur SON sir

Noise levels dictate future aircraft design!

While studying physiological effects of noise on human beings, it came to light that sales of tranquilizers, sleeping pills, antacids and cardio-vascular, anti-hypertensive drugs increased after an exposure to aircraft noise in the vicinity of airport s. Sales of these drugs, on the other hand, remained unchanged in non-exposed areas. Do you need any other proof to say that aircraft noise levels in the vicinity of airports is high? It is not known how many people are getting affected due to noise-induced-hearing damage. Noise has become a silent hazard.

If it is so, what will happen in the near future! The aircraft industry is poised to expand unprecedentedly. The No. of aircrafts flying is likely to double in next 20 years and the No. of passengers are going to be increased at least 3 times in the same period. At London Luton Airport, there has been 400% increase in demand for flying, in last decade. The question one would ask: "Where are the noise regulation bodies and what are they doing? What will happen in future with increase in the number of aircrafts?"

Though there are many regulating bodies such as Federal Aviation Administration in the US and Joint Aviation Authority in Europe and several such bodies elsewhere too, they cannot do much to mitigate the people's sufferings. No amount of regulation will help. But what can improve the situation is the re-design of aircraft for reducing noise levels. Engineers observe that the overall shape of passenger aircraft has not changed much over the last 5 decades. The aircraft design has never received that much attention as to decrease noise as a primary requirement from the beginning. Experts say that the configuration of silent aircraft has to be radically different from current designs.

Incidentally NASA has identified aero-acoustics as one of the ten critical areas of science and engineering and started laying thrust on revolutionary concepts in aerodynamic design. NASA has rightly set a goal of achieving a reduction of aerodynamic noise by as much as 30EPN (Effective Perceived Noise) dB relative to 1977 levels by the year 2022. This definitely shows the concern of NASA. NASA knows that increasingly stringent Civil Aviation noise regulations will require design and manufacture of extremely quiet commercial aircraft.

Brisk research programme from Cambridge University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) unveiled a major silent aircraft design initiative based on revolutionary concepts. This team is aiming to design a quiet aircraft which will produce 63 dB(A) outside airport perimeter which is nearly 25 dB lesser than current aircraft. They also predict such aircraft when realized will give 149 passenger-miles per UK Gallon of fuel compared to 120 for the best current aircraft in this range and size. Not only quiet, but fuel-efficient too!

Is 25dB noise reduction a big challenge?

Sound power is measured on a logarithmic scale - the decibel. If one can reduce sound by 10 dB it means sound energy is reduced to 1/10th. In the same vein, reduction of 25dB corresponds reducing sound energy to 500 of its original value. A big task indeed! Our ears respond to sound non-linearly. Suppose we have 2 grinders working producing certain noise level. If we switch off one grinder out of two, we will be producing half the sound energy, but we barely hear a reduction in noise. That's why we have to reduce aircraft noise by as much as 25dB to have reasonable difference in noise level.

What makes a silent aircraft?

There are 3 major noise sources in an aircraft: the engines, the under carriage, and the airframe - the physical structure of the plane. The engines are the obvious sources of noise with their huge fans at the front, fast moving machinery and jet exhaust.

Unlike current aircraft, the engines will be above the wings so that shielding occurs from listeners on the ground. At present, all aircraft have engines underneath the wings and hence sound tends to be reflected downwards towards ground. Extensive acoustic liners are proposed in the inlet and exit engines to absorb engine noise in addition.

The silent aircraft will have continuous descent (CDS) approach compared to current step-down approach. This CDS keeps aircraft at high altitude and at lower thrust for longer duration, which eliminates level segments. The aim is to develop efficient "Continuous Descent Approach" procedures for the airport which will produce noise reductions for surrounding communities by keeping aircraft higher and at lower thrust for longer than conventional approaches, which also burns less fuel, and produce fewer emissions. We need greater integration of engine and mainframe. The technology challenges are so many to be overcome that this silent aircraft will be a reality in 2030.
