A journalist is an incorrigible liar who is never recovering but always gives impressions that he is.   ·        Lying is like alcoholism You are always recovering.. ~ Steven Soderbergh You have an excellent model in the Messenger of Allah, for all who put their hope in Allah and the Last Day and remember Allah much . (Surat al-Ahzab :21) Correlation Saul McLeod  published 2008 Correlation means association - more precisely it is a measure of the extent to which two variables are related. If an increase in one variable tends to be associated with an increase in the other then this is known as a positive correlation. An example would be height and weight. Taller people tend to be heavier. If an increase in one variable tends to be associated with a decrease in the

Believe it what it is not By Prof Dr Sohail Ansari& Binary Variable

  Is there any reward for good other than good?  Quran 55:60 A Lie ceases to be a lie One cannot speak a lie with personal conviction, if one does not believe it to be truth, and a lie ceases to be a lie when one does so and will, then, never run itself to death.   ·        Never chase a lie. Let it alone, and it will run itself to death. ~ Lyman Beecher     Binary Variable: Definition, Examples What is a Binary Variable? A binary variable is a  variable  with only two values. For example: ·          1 / 0. ·          Yes / No. ·          Success / Failure. ·          Male / Female. ·          Black / White . ·          Take the red pill, or the blue pill?

Rather, he should be alert and rational.”Source: Sharh Sunan Ibn Majah 3982 Learning at the expense of others ‘Experience teaches slowly, and at the cost of mistakes’ but often the cost is paid by the people subjected to it. Notable gains and incremental improvements at the expense of subjects make the cost payers wish that a boy is better unborn than untaught. ·         Experience teaches slowly, and at the cost of mistakes. ·          James Anthony Froude ,  Short Studies on Great Subjects , Party Politics.

The example of partially right in itself and absolutely wrong in itself can be like: The truth is person ‘A’ is good in speaking and the worst in listening.

The understanding of Thomas Carlyle exhibits his no understanding
