To be successful at all costs, however, should not be the leading goal in life. Do not sacrifice the virtues that you have been brought up with. Do not scheme, lie, betray confidence, abandon friends, or plot. Even if any of it results in acceleration of career triumphs, you may regret the lack of respect resulting from your behavior. Remember that everything eventually leaks and becomes public. You also have to face yourself in the mirror every morning as you shave or apply makeup – and you want to have respect for the individual you see in the mirror.

Fantasy Novel Help
Well, for starters to me, fantasy usually always takes place in a secondary world during (preferably) the medieval period where a systematized supernatural tie occurs. There are exceptions to this, obviously, and borderline cases such as Sandman and The Dark Tower, but to me this is usually the criteria. As for Sandman, it mostly takes place in our world (various centuries even), in dreams, Faerie, Hell, The Dreaming, you name it. But all those planes are still centered on our world. It doesn't focus on the organized otherness of the secondary worlds in the way fantasy usually does. Most of the inner workings of the odd stuff is never really explained (or sometimes it’s just borrowed from various mythologies). The strangeness is chaotic, as it would be in an absurdist play or maybe a David Lynch movie. Is Lynch a fantasy film maker then? Gaiman is just a talented author who uses the various troupes that are present in most fantasy and sci-fi stories for his own ends and in doing so, creates a nice illusion of familiarity while serving us something fresh. But I don't think that it makes him a fantasy author in the traditional sense.
So I guess what I am saying is, that to me, fantasy has to have at least some swords and sorcery. But it doesn't have to be a bad thing. Have you read George R. R. Martin? I mean, in the end, all that matters are the story-telling and the plausibility of the situations and characters. It can be a parody, a coming of age tale (which is the most command and also the most boring formula) an apocalypse tale, I do not care. All that matters are whether it's good. And that is a totally different story.

Get Information of Wafer bow
Many semiconductor production and research facilities around the world use the kSA MOS Ultra-Scan and Thermal-Scan systems to measure wafer bow. This is a method to determine the flatness of thin slices of semiconductor material called wafers. Solar cells are often also made from wafers. The Ultra-Scan uses a laser array to map curvature, bow, and stress of these semiconductor wafers. This tool can also be used to measure curvature, bow, and stress of other polished surfaces, such as lenses and optical mirrors. The Thermal-Scan also uses an integrated heating chamber with process gas introduction for thermal stress analysis.

Pit Viper Information
There are various snakes in forests which are as dangerous as would kill man. While browsing I came across Gumprecht's green pit viper and wish my readers to know about this. This striking bright green snake, commonly known as Gumprecht's green pit viper, is found in the Southeast Asian region of Greater Mekong. The serpent, which has the formal name Trimeresurus gumprechti, was first described by scientists in 2002, although he doesn't look like he appreciates having been discovered.
A Cow Help for Temple
A British animal welfare charity said on Saturday that it would donate a cow to a temple north of London, in a bid to repair relations that were damaged last year when a sacred cow was put down. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) said it was apologizing for the "hurt" caused when the 13-year-old Belgian Blue-Jersey cross, Gangotri, was killed last December because it was in pain, but added that it was not apologizing for putting the animal down. Hundreds of Hindus protested outside RSPCA's offices last year, accusing it of secretly killing the animal. The Bhaktivedanata Manor in Hertfordshire, where the cow was housed and which was set up by former Beatle George Harrison, said the RSPCA would donate a Meuse-Rhine Issel cow.
