Undergraduate/postgraduate Studies In Malaysia?


If anyone is interested in going abroad for higher studies, I highly recommend the Universities in Malaysia for students who want to study abroad, but can not afford to pay the high tuition fees and the steep living costs in countries like Australia and UK.
There are quite a few branches of foreign universities in Malaysia ( eg. Curtin university, Monash University, University of Southampton, Lancaster University) where you can get Australian/UK degrees at a fraction of the cost of doing them in their home country. Moreover, many Malaysian Universities have twinning programmes which are affiliated with UK/Australian Universities . The advantage of these programmes is that students are awarded UK/Australian degrees upon completion of their courses and in many of these programmes, students can transfer to the UK/Australian campus in the last year of their study. You can save upto 40% in tuition fees and obtain a world class degree by studying in Malaysia.
The living cost in Malaysia is about 1000-1500 Ringitts per month (including accomodation,food and other expenses) , which is quite less compared to UK/US/Australia. Generally, you can rent a very comfortable private room in an apartment building within this budget.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them. You can also email your queries at: eduguides1@gmail.com.
Thanks.

How Do Musicians Become Famous? How Did Lady Gaga Become Famous?


In the year 2008, a myriad of musicians released their works, but only a tiny fraction of them got to enjoy international fame, among whom was Lady Gaga. She went from living in the cheapest apartment she could find and (I quote) “eating shіt” to being called one of the most influential people in the world by Times Magazine, taking first place in Forbes’ celebrity list, and let us not forget MTV EMA 2011.
What happened? Lady Gaga’s rise to fame was brought by the commercial success of her releases, but what caused them to be successful? Is it defined by competition on the free market, or could it be all decided ahead by some elite group? Do “the few and the secret” pull the strings of “the many and the known”? Sounds almost like a conspiracy theory. Sure, maybe getting a bargain with a major record label is half the job, but it wouldn’t be fair at all to say that her success is entirely owed to the label she signed up with.
You can argue that she is famous solely due to the merit of what she has to offer as an artist, saying that it’s infinitely greater than what any commoner has, but that doesn’t sound objective to me. there are plenty of undiscovered gems out there. You can also argue that it’s still just about being in the right place at the right time, but which place and which time were right? What set her apart from all the other musicians and performers who too were lucky enough to wind up in the right place at the right time with her?
Perhaps, the most interesting point is the very beginning. From what I see on Google Trends, her rise to fame hadn’t been as abrupt as I thought. She started being noticed in 2008, but it wasn’t until 2009 that the Google Search Volume index for “Lady Gaga” reached 0.5 (and went on to exceeded 4.00 that same year).
The mechanisms of show business are all so fascinating to me. Anyway, have you seen the dіldo boots Gaga wore on American Idol? That was phenomenal! xD I’m so buying myself a pair of those when I finally get rich.

I Need Some Help On A Few Questions For An Ap Bio Test. Please Help!?


1. Why was Darwin surprised by the discovery of elephant and hippo-resembling fossils in a riverbed in Argentina?
a. Darwin didn’t know that elephants and hippos could exist in the same habitat together.
b. Darwin had found similar fossils on the Cape Verde Islands.
c. Elephant-like and hippo-like animals no longer lived in Argentina.
d. No fossils had ever been found in Argentina.
Why is it said that the English rabbit and Patagonian hare occupy a similar niche?\
a. Both hares and rabbits live primarily on islands.
b. They are both adapted for a grazing lifestyle.
c. Both hares and rabbits have large ears.
d. They both belong to the same species.
2. A biologist was experimenting with plant cells. She ground up the cells and centrifuged the mixture and then separate the cell fractions, but she forgot to label the different fractions. When she tested fraction A, she found that it took up CO2 and released O2. She concluded that this fraction contained…
a. mitochondria.
b. chloroplasts.
c. lysosome.
d. ribosome.
e. vacuole.
3. All of the following statements about chromosomes are true EXCEPT
a. DNA condenses during mitosis in the life cycle of the cell.
b. A replicated chromosome consists of two chromatids that are identical.
c. An acrocentric chromosome has its centromere on the end of the chromosome.
d. Chromatin consists of DNA with associated proteins.
4. All of the following statements regarding the events of meiosis are correct EXCEPT

b. Homologous chromosomes are always identical, and always control the same trait.
c. Synapsis refers to the process where chromosomes associate to form homologous pairs.
d. Chromosome pairs assort independently from one another during meiosis.
5. All of the following statements regarding spematogenesis are true EXCEPT
a. Testicles are descended below the body because of the lower temperature requirement for spermatogenesis.
b. The function of the nucleus of the sperm is to deliver a diploid set of genes to the egg cell.
c. In terms of layering, the outermost wall of the seminiferous tubules of the testes is where spermatids are found.
d. In the testes, the male germ cell allows for both mitosis and meiosis.
6. Restriction enzymes are sometimes used in the laboratory to

b. restrict DNA transcription.
c. restrict mRNA translation.
d. cut DNA molecules at specific sites.
e. cut DNA into manageable sizes for manipulation.

b. uptake of glucose by microvilli of cells lining the intestine.
c. the movement of insulin across the cell membrane.
d. the movement of carbon dioxide across the cell membrane.
e. the movement of sodium ions across the cell membrane.
Thanks to anyone who will answer these. 🙂 I have most of them narrowed down but I can’t figure em out by any means /:

What’s The Deal With These Random People Who Want To Fix My Car All The Time?


So I have a large scratch on my car door…
These people will come up to me at the gas station or get my attention when I’m at a red light and ask me if I want them to repair it. It’s happened to me close to 10 times in the past few months. And they seem to be all sorts of people, some drive crappy beat-up trucks, and some drive fairly new, nice SUV’s.
What’s the deal with this? Are they all affiliated or could it really be that there are just tons of people out there randomly doing the same thing?
The reason I ask is because it happens so often and each one has the same pitch — also, I can’t find anything online about this. There has to be something online about it!! Is it some sort of scam? It always reminds me of the people who try to sell you crappy stereos “for a fraction of the cost since their manager needs them to get rid of it”.
