A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and interesting us in youth, comforting and consoling us in age. The statement, ‘’ a good book may be among best of friends,’’ in the passage means that. there cannot be a better friend than a good book. books may be good friends, but not better than good men. a good book can be included among the best of friends of mankind. our best friends read the same good books. None of these.

The oil industry was born in the United States around the time of the Civil War. As the world’s largest oil producer and exporter, the US supplied the oil on which the Allied Forces floated to victory in World War 1. In 1920, 64% of the world’s oil was produced in the US. The growing uses of petroleum in modern American industrial society led several domestic companies to secure oil concessions in Mexico but foreign production was not actively sought after the First World War. In the early 1920s, however, two fears seized the American oil industry. First, it was feared that in the not too distant future,” The position of the US regarding oil”, wrote the Director of US Geological Survey, “can best be characterized as precarious.” Second, while a domestic oil shortage seemed imminent, so did the possibility that the major sources of petroleum outside North America would soon be locked up by foreign interests- primarily by British Petroleum and Royal Dutch Shell. This fear was mixed with indignation over the fact that British appeared to be ungrateful for America’s wartime effort and seemed to be doing everything in their power to consolidate their foreign petroleum supply positions at the expense of US nationals.” The British position is impregnable,” wrote Sir Edward Mackey Edgar, a British oilman, “All the known oil fields, all the likely or probable fields outside of the United States itself, are in British hands or under British management or control, or financed by British capital.” 57.

There are no rigid rules to do research. Like cycling or swimming you do it by doing it. As you do it, you learn to do it better. Or give up. Analytical, experimental and other technical skills will prove useful. Knowledge of your field of research will save time. On many instances of doubt, common sense is sufficient and on many occasions of failure, perseverance a must. Extraordinary intelligence is welcome. Genius is rare. Obviously, communication in all forms is essential for recognition and success. Research and semi-technical articles, monographs, formal and popular books, seminars, talks and lectures, incentive-less web writing, all could and should be done consistently. Staying motivated for enough years is crucial to enhance your chance for delivering, if not anything outstanding, something substantial. To give a weak analogy: Just a boundary or a six makes us literally a one hit wonder. Scoring a century, with or without boundaries or sixers, is still a commendable effort. Can research method(s) or method(s) to do science be capsuled into an algorithm yielding assured success, irrespective of the user? Such attempts of algorithms are mostly met with counter examples of scientific advancements that happened without practicing those algorithms. To reproduce from Cosma’s Scientific Method note, a quote by Sir Peter Medawar: If the purpose of scientific methodology is to prescribe or expound a system of inquiry or even a code of practice for scientific behavior, then scientists seem to be able to get on very well without it. Most scientists receive no tuition in scientific method, but those who have been instructed perform no better as scientists than those who have not. Of what other branch of learning can it be said that it gives its proficients no advantage; that it need not be taught or, if taught, need not be learned? What is the central theme of the passage?. The use of algorithms to reach to the next level of scientific research. The rules and techniques that may be used for scientific research. Sir Peter Medawar’s view that methodology for scientific research is useless. That intelligence and genius are not essential for research. The importance of tenacity and perseverance above any scientific methodology for successful research. There are no rigid rules to do research. Like cycling or swimming you do it by doing it. As you do it, you learn to do it better. Or give up. Analytical, experimental and other technical skills will prove useful. Knowledge of your field of research will save time.

What should be the right approach to research?. Using analytical skills and no specific domain knowledge. Learning everything that is needed before starting research. Using perseverance as a key to successfully completing research. Using only those techniques that will ensure superlative research results.

Zuckerberg said, “The Internet works because most people and companies do the same. We work together to create this secure environment and make our shared space even better for the world.

The U.S. government should be the champion for the Internet, not a threat. It needsto be much more transparent about what it’s doing, or people will believe the worst.I’ve called President Obama to express my frustration over the damage the government is creating for all of our future. Unfortunately, it seems like it will take a very long time for true full reform. So it’s up to us — all of us — to build the Internet we want. Together, we can build a space that is greater and a more important part of the world than anything wehave today, but is also safe and secure. I’m committed to seeing this happen, and you can count on Facebook to do our part.” .*Why is Internet Privacy very important to all of us? accounts but also our online activities. 4.
