The 28-year-old star admits he doesn't mind the 'Game of Thrones' star coming on the road with his band - who kick off their European support tour with Bruno Mars in Barcelona on June 20 - but he also likes to spend time on his own too.
Speaking to the latest issue of Glass Magazine, which sees Joe feature on the cover photographed by Ssam Kim, the 'Cake By The Ocean' hitmaker spilled: ''We like when our partners come and visit, but we also like doing our own thing and finding something that's our own passion.
''I guess we're lucky we're with people who like to do their own thing too.''
The group - completed by bassist-and-keyboardist Cole Whittle, guitarist JinJoo, and drummer Jack Lawless - recently surprised fans with a new EP 'People To People' to give fans an idea of how their sound has developed since their 2016 self-titled debut.
Joe says that he and his bandmates don't like to ''put too much pressure'' on themselves with the music they make and that they are simply pals having ''fun''.
He told the publication: ''We don't put too much pressure on whether something will work or be successful. We're just four friends who want to play music, and whether is for a week or for the rest of our lives, we've decided to let go and just have fun with it.''
The former Jonas Brothers star says that they simply set out to share the ''love'' with their music.
On the EP, Joe added: ''You learn, you take and you give. We're just trying to show our love, our art to you, and we hope we can get some love back in return too.''

In most Fantasy football leagues, this will be the last game of the regular season, which means you’ve either locked up a playoff spot or you’re looking forward to next season. Hopefully it’s the former and not the latter OR hopefully you’re team needs a win this week to get into the playoffs and you need some help off the waiver wire. No more byes and no more time wasted, here are your priority waiver adds for Week 13.
Bruce Irvin, DE, Carolina Panthers
He finally got a sack last week after going three straight games without one, but it’s not because he hasn’t gotten to the opposing Quarterbacks. Since Week 11, he has three QB hits with an average snap count over 70%; he should have a lot more opportunity against a Washington offensive line who’ve given up 13 total sacks over their last three games.
Nick Kwiatkoski, LB, Chicago Bears
Kwiatkoski was a notable add back in Week 5, but needs to be featured going into Week 13. He didn’t fill up the stat sheet on Sunday only grabbing five total tackles, but Chicago’s defense wasn’t on the field for very long only totaling 47 snaps in their win over the Giants. The Bears have a short week playing on Thanksgiving and we shouldn’t expect Danny Trevathan to be back for this game and Kwiatkoski has since totaled 95% of the snaps over the last couple of weeks with Trevathan out.
Derwin James, S, Los Angeles Chargers
It looks like the stud safety in Los Angeles will make his debut in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos who’ve not given up a ton of fantasy points to the opposing defensive backs, but have given up three pass defenses and an interception over the last two weeks. It’ll be tough to predict his usage in his first game back, but getting one of the best safety’s this late in the season is very rare. If he gets back to his weekly production from last season, he could easily be one of the best waiver wire additions all season.

12° International Congress of Justice Ministers "Paving the Way: Defeating Hatred". A World Without the Death Penalty
Contribution by Suzana Norlihan Binti Alias, lawyer and witness from Malaysia
"The murderer of my cousin was sentenced to death by the court although we as the victim’s family have forgiven him.
During his trial, I have learnt that just like him, many people who are accused are poor or disadvantaged. Because they have no money to get a good representation, they are more easily found guilty and be sentenced to the death penalty. That is when I decided to become a criminal lawyer. I want to help the poor and disadvantaged to have a proper defence. That is why I do a lot of pro bono cases."

ZADOK PUBLICATIONS MONTHLY NEWSLETTER
March 1, 2020
You may watch this Newsletter in a video HERE
This month's newsletter is dedicated to reviewing several ways the Bible addresses decision- making. Although life seems to be a huge cluster of decision-making events, what we want to look at are factors surrounding those events.
1. Decisions made by "Fleece:"
One of the foremost processes for decision-making is the route chosen by Gideon. His fleece was acting as an indicator for the will of God in his life, and it is a method Christians often use for their own decision times.
After the Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon and gave him his assignment to deliver Israel from Midianite bondage, the Angel refused to hear excuses and Gideon's self-abrogation. The Angel called him "a mighty man of valor." That is how God saw him; he saw him as a finished product.
"The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!"
Like the Shulamite in the Song of Solomon, the Angel refused Gideon's self-appraisals.
Then the Lord turned to him and said, "Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?"
With further assurance, the Angel prophesied the future:
"Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man."
Before departing from Gideon, the Angel of the Lord caused fire to come from a rock
altar in a display of the power of the supernatural in his behalf. It was after this that the Lord
instructed Gideon to decimate his father's idols. Even though this act incurred the wrath of the locals, it strengthened the resolve of the "mighty man of valor."
Yet, Gideon required further proof he could do the task of rescuing Israel. He tested the will of God using the famous "Fleece" scenario which everyone readily associates with Gideon.
36 So Gideon said to God, "If You will save Israel by my hand as You have said — 37 look, I shall put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said." 38 And it was so. When he rose early the next morning and squeezed the fleece together, he wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowlful of water. 39 Then Gideon said to God, "Do not be angry with me, but let me speak just once more: Let me test, I pray, just once more with the fleece; let it now be dry only on the fleece, but on all the ground let there be dew." 40 And God did so that night. It was dry on the fleece only, but there was dew on all the ground.
Some have said that using a "fleece" to determine a decision is the weakest approach of all decision processes. Others say that God always considers the person and is willing to meet
that individual wherever they are spiritually.
Have we not all, at some time or other, used a "fleece" to make our minds up? I have said, "Let this or that happen and I will know it is your will, O Lord." The range and number of "Fleece" is astounding. Someone might require an outlandish event to take place, while another might choose a simple response to a given stimuli. Whatever the "fleece" may be, the outcome of a decision is dependent on it.
The Lord often accommodates the "fleece person" in order to build confidence for the task ahead.
In Gideon's case, he rose to the occasion and followed the Lord's leadership with impeccable
accuracy. The result was phenomenal. Three hundred men defeated an entire nation overnight.
Gideon's faith gained him entrance to Hebrews eleven's hall of fame and peace reigned in Israel for 40 years.
Now, look at how God progressed with Gideon.
- God stated who Gideon was through His eyes: a "mighty man of valor." Even though
Gideon's self-appraisal was "he was the least" in the smallest tribe.
- God commanded Gideon to deliver Israel from the Midianites.
- 3. The Lord assured him of the covenant by stating, "I will be with you."
Almost always, the Lord follows the above pattern. He calls a person based on His appraisal of their capabilities. He issues a command. He assures that person He is in a
Covenant with him.
The Lord moved in supernatural ways to assure Gideon. First, He demonstrated His
Great power in causing fire to consume Gideon's offering. Second, He commanded
Gideon to destroy the idols of the people and of his own father. Giving him victory in this
matter, Gideon gained confidence to gather an army and carry out the master plan. Notice how the Lord moved from a "burning bush" experience to a larger venue (destroy the idols), then to the larger matter of defeating Midian.
An interesting event took place as God produced a fleece of His own for Gideon. Instead of a multitude of participants, Gideon was to pay attention to those who got down on all fours and those who did not—choosing those who did not—hence, the three hundred valiant ones.
"Fleeces" are not bad!
2. Decisions based on a sign: The Rustling in the Mulberry Tree-David's sign:
Early on, David recognized the necessity of inquiring of the Lord before making decisions. (His life failures were those times when he did not follow this method.) In this focal passage, David inquired of the Lord before attacking the Philistines, and being assured of victory by the Lord, he went against them. In this passage, we see him returning to inquire of the Lord and not being presumptuous.
2 Samuel 5:19-25:
19 So David inquired of the Lord, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?"
And the Lord said to David, "Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand."
20 So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, "The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water." Therefore, he called the name of that place Baal Perazim. 21 And they left their images there, and David and his men carried them away.
22 Then the Philistines went up once again and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim. 23 Therefore David inquired of the Lord, and He said, "You shall not go up; circle around behind them, and come upon them in front of the Mulberry trees. 24 And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the Mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then the Lord will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines." 25 And David did so, as the Lord commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer.
It is safe to say that any believer making a decision must seek the Lord and hear Him clearly.
A sign was given to David: "the sound of marching" in the Mulberry tree. Waiting for a sign from the Lord requires faith and patience. Missionaries often testify they have received definite
signs from the Lord on various matters and have been successful when they moved on those signals of assurance.
Let's say a missionary is inquiring about where he/she should minister in a certain region. As he /she waits for a sign from the Lord, a person may emerge from a certain area and in doing so, calls attention to a place or village of interest. Is he a physical sign from the Lord to move in that area? Two witnesses may be needed to establish such a fact, but more than likely other indicators are supportive of such action.
It is better to wait for the rustling of the Mulberry Tree, than to move on man's reasoning.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
3. Decisions by Revelation and Vision:
One of the chief exponents of this method of decision-making is Paul, the apostle. He saw a vision of a man from Macedonia and knew this was from God.
6 Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. 7 After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. 8 So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." 10 Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
Two actions were working together in this passage, the forbidding of the Spirit (which we will explore as a separate area) and the use of visions. It is not unusual for a believer to have a vision prompting a decision.
Personally, I have been the recipient of such activity.
While in a gathering of saints, listening to various speakers and participating in worship, I had a vision of a city, as if I was flying over the entire area. I could see into lives and businesses and government dealings and knew issues in each arena. I received multiple revelations about the spiritual needs of that populous. I heard a command to move there and establish a home, then
God would open doors for me to be known widely among its citizens. I moved on that call and enjoyed favor on every side.
There are open visions like Simon Peter experienced with the sheets coming down and being told to "Eat." This vision opened the door for recognition of the Gentiles as part of the plan of God.
Explicit aspects arose from that encounter.
9 The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. 10 Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance 11 and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 13 And a voice came to him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat."
14 But Peter said, "Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean."
15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed you must not call common." 16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.
17 Now while Peter wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate. 18 And they called and asked whether Simon, whose surname was Peter, was lodging there.
19 While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are seeking you. 20 Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them."
Simon did a complete 180 degree turn in his attitude toward Gentiles because of this vision.
4. Decisions by the Spirit:
Treating this aspect as a separate entity is necessary. Have you ever awakened and heard a voice saying: "Go to Honolulu?" Well, I have! Still rubbing my eyes, the voice continued: "I will show you a man that will change your life and you will change his." From that moment, things fell into place supernaturally and we booked a flight to the islands. We wound up preaching in eight hotels on Sunday and during the service in the fifth hotel (the Royal Hawaiian), a couple entered the room and the Spirit pointed out, "there is the man."
Now this fellow and his wife did not know me. They had never heard of services in the hotels, but his wife (following the Spirit) urged her husband to enter the hotel and upon entering, saw a sign about a non-denominational service taking place. She said, "The Lord wants us to attend this service."
Since the Spirit takes care of every detail when He leads in decision making, it was so in this case. Obedience in both parties wound up creating a friendship spanning more than thirty years.
In segment three, we touched on how the Spirit forbade Paul from entering Asia and Bithynia. He closed the door on Paul's intentions. The Spirit has that authority and it requires attention on our parts to discover His direction.
In 1994, there was a special television documentary on Romania under communism. The Lord
said, "Go to Romania and do not plan an itinerary; even your family must not know where you are at any given time. I want to teach you to listen for my directions on a moment by moment
I did nothing initially, until two strangers came to my office and asked, "Did not the Lord command you to go to Europe?" That got my attention.
All I knew to do was fly to Budapest and go by rail to Arad and wait for His instructions.
Events began to unfold rapidly. People would approach me seeking prayer and healing. Groups invited me to speak at their church gathering. Persons would invite me home with them for meals in order to testify evangelistically to their family and then spend the night.
During this time, the Spirit would direct me to stand in central plazas and speak in tongues, bringing into view spiritual matters of which I had no knowledge, but He did! What a wonderful time of learning to be sensitive to the slightest urge or movement of the Spirit.
Notice Paul's reaction.
When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. 6 But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles." 7 And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. 8 Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.
9 Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city." 11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
5. Decisions by Revelation:
Although there are elements of each of these decision-making aspects interwoven with one another, to view them separately is important. By revelation, I mean the Spirit brings to your attention an element that changes the picture totally. Where you perceived the issue required a decision one way, it now becomes clear it was quite another. Illumination on a given matter sharpens one's ability to hear clearly from the Lord.
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. 2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? 4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."
5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. 6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.
7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter answered her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?"
She said, "Yes, for so much."
9 Then Peter said to her, "How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out." 10 Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. 11 So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.
Many times in my life, I have had such revelation. In Costa Rica, while ministering in a congregation, my preparation for that meeting was negated by a revelation of the real issue facing this church, which required me to preach on entirely different portions of Scripture. The far-reaching result of that discovery virtually involved the entire Mission, and the ramifications linked to that revelation caused the firing of a pastor, the restoration of fellowship between pastors and missionaries and the clearing out of liberation theology being taught in the Seminary.
In Brazil, for another instance, one prophetic word of revelation prior to traveling to this large gathering caused the whole congregation to be struck with conviction and reached into the avenues of intrigue hindering the moving of God in that arena. It cleared the air by exposing the hidden venues blocking the Spirit.
6. Decisions determined by doing, "The Righteous thing:"
Sometimes decisions are required by just doing "the right thing." The Good Samaritan didn't have to wrestle with his decision to assist the needy man. The father did not have to query God when his son returned home. The lost sheep did not cause a dilemma when the Shepherd decided to leave the ninety-nine. Jesus had no problem with cleansing the Temple.
Some situations require an instant decision based on Scripture.
If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
Simon displayed compassion on a man who called out to him and he did the righteous thing.
Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; 3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. 4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, "Look at us." 5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. 6 Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them — walking, leaping, and praising God.
7. Decisions by prophecy:
Again, Paul is in the spotlight with the prophetic words spoken to him by Agabus. Early into Paul's ministry, he met Agabus and from his first encounter was convinced he was a true prophet.
27 And in these days, prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar. 29 Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea. 30 This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Those who heard the prophecy acted correctly and sent relief based on Agabus' words. So, when Agabus prophesied over Paul on another occasion, he knew the accuracy of this brother.
And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11 When he had come to us, he took Paul's belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, 'So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.'"
12 Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, "What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
14 So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The will of the Lord be done."
Paul knew the certainty of the prophet's words and made his decision to continue his journey.
The reliability of the prophet is a major issue in this kind of decision-making. We live in a day when prophetic words are often rather cheap. In order to make life decisions based on some of them could produce a perilous situation. Tragically, some good people have gone to mission fields or made some financial decisions based on prophetic words that did not originate with God.
Biblically, one must test the spirits and also wait for two or more witnesses to establish the
prophetic word. The Old Testament is filled with instances of false prophets (see: Jeremiah, for instance). Unfortunately, there are some today!
On the other hand, I personally know a couple who were crying out to God to know where to minister, after completing their studies at Rhema. They received a powerful word saying in a short time they would be pastors—which came to pass in a remarkable turn of events, and they found themselves in a formidable ministry, serving that congregation for many years.
In the book, En Punto, there is a premise made for just waiting on the Lord to bring people and things into our lives, which alter our plans and change our lives. These are not based on our understanding, but are totally a "God thing." His ways are higher than ours, and He often makes decisions for us. That's the wonder of the faith walk!
Until next month,
Dr. Cosby R. Oliver, PhD.

Relationship Hard anodized cookware Ladies With regard to Whitened Men
There’s something that you simply completely should have if you wish to day Hard anodized cookware ladies. Actually, without having this, after that it is nearly particular that you’ll fall short within relationship any kind of Hard anodized cookware woman. The facts? All of us may return to which, however very first let us speak a bit regarding the reason why a person may wish to day a good Hard anodized cookware lady like a whitened man.
Numerous men possess a point with regard to Hard anodized cookware ladies, a few have what’s known as ‘Yellow Fever’ or even they’ll JUST day Asians. Fortunately on their behalf, there are many Hard anodized cookware ladies that have the exact same regarding whitened men. A person have to visit any kind of main town in america, Sydney or even somewhere else to determine the numerous whitened man Hard anodized cookware woman partners. Points appear to be exercising nicely with regard to each.
Hard anodized cookware ladies are extremely womanly as well as I believe this is exactly why a lot of men proceed insane more than all of them. We do not imply in order to slander additional ladies, however lots of men seem like feminism as well as equivalent chance went too much which numerous whitened ladies tend to be behaving as well as acting as well manly. Not along with Hard anodized cookware ladies! Hard anodized cookware ladies need to be probably the most womanly ladies in the world. That is not saying they’re fragile although, place which believed from your mind immediately! The actual submissive housewife stereotype is simply the stereotype precisely, however it is accurate which Hard anodized cookware ladies realize that a person capture much more jigs along with sweetie compared to along with white vinegar!
Therefore, to the very first guarantee. What’s the thing you must have up to now a good Hard anodized cookware lady? The solution is actually: Self-confidence!
Amazing, such a surprise! Ladies such as assured males, however without a doubt the reason why it is therefore vital that you end up being assured in working with Hard anodized cookware ladies. Hard anodized cookware ladies in many cases are concerned which whitened men will not have the ability to value exactly what they need to provide. You’ll get adore, love as well as enables you to maintain manage, however in come back they need a guy that may consider cost, maintain manage, maintain the woman’s pleased, secure as well as amused. A few whitened men who’re accustomed to much more aggressive whitened ladies, could find this strange to possess to consider cost such as this inside a romantic relationship by having an Hard anodized cookware woman. However this is the method it’s. Do not request the woman’s exactly what your woman really wants to perform, much better recommend some thing to complete and get the woman’s in the event that your woman really wants to sign up for.

Evolutionary biologists use two ways to study the evolution of prehistoric plants and animals: firstly they use radioactive dating techniques to put fossils in chronological order according to the age of the rocks in which they are found (stratigraphy); secondly they observe and classify the characteristics of fossilised remains according to their relatedness (morphology).
Dr Matthew Wills from the University of Bath’s Department of Biology & Biochemistry worked with Dr Paul Barrett from the Natural History Museum and Julia Heathcote at Birkbeck College (London) to analyse statistical data from fossils of the four major groups of dinosaur to see how closely they matched their trees of evolutionary relatedness.
The researchers found that the fossil record for the dinosaurs studied, ranging from gigantic sauropods to two-legged meat eaters such as T. rex, matched very well with the evolutionary tree, meaning that the current view of evolution of these creatures is very accurate.
Dr Matthew Wills explained: “We have two independent lines of evidence on the history of life: the chronological order of fossils in the rocks, and ‘trees’ of evolutionary relatedness.
“When the two tell the same story, the most likely explanation is that both reflect the truth. When they disagree, and the order of animals on the tree is out of whack with the order in the rocks, you either have a dodgy tree, lots of missing fossils, or both.
“What we’ve shown in this study is that the agreement for dinosaurs is remarkably good, meaning that we can have faith in both our understanding of their evolution, and the relative completeness of their fossil record.
“In other words, our knowledge of dinosaurs is very, very good.”
The researchers studied gaps in the fossil record, so-called ‘ghost ranges’, where the evolutionary tree indicates there should be fossils but where none have yet been found. They mapped these gaps onto the evolutionary tree and calculated statistical probabilities to find the closeness of the match.
Dr Wills said: “Gaps in the fossil record can occur for a number of reasons. Only a tiny minority of animals are preserved as fossils because exceptional geological conditions are needed. Other fossils may be difficult to classify because they are incomplete; others just haven’t been found yet.
“Pinning down an accurate date for some fossils can also prove difficult. For example, the oldest fossil may be so incomplete that it becomes uncertain as to which group it belongs. This is particularly true with fragments of bones. Our study made allowances for this uncertainty.
“We are excited that our data show an almost perfect agreement between the evolutionary tree and the ages of fossils in the rocks. This is because it confirms that the fossil record offers an extremely accurate account of how these amazing animals evolved over time and gives clues as to how mammals and birds evolved from them.”
The study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Sytematic Biology, was part of a project funded by the Biotechnology & Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) that aimed to combine different forms of evolutionary evidence to produce more accurate evolutionary trees.

Movie: Kathakali (U)
I'm a big fan of Vishal since most of his films are action films and I'm an action lover. But this time, his KATHAKALI turns out to be more than just an entertainer. Unpredictable, intelligent and action packed, it's the best film Vishal has delivered till date.
KATHAKALI is so well scripted that you won't be disappointed. It's a full on thrill ride with a lot of action and entertainment. The music too here deserves a special mention as it enhances the film to a great extent, as does the cinematography along with the action scenes and visuals.
Thanks for such a film Mr Pandiraj!
As far as the screenplay is concerned, it does take its own pretty time to build up but when it does, it fully entertains. Of course, the romance portion could have been shorter. This is the only flaw I found, otherwise I didn't get disappointed by anything else.
Vishal excels as Amudhavel, and plays the character with utmost sincerity. As expected, he impresses once again with his action scenes. Catherine Tresa is fine. Other actors like Mime Gopi, Karunas etc are all fine in their respective roles. The action scenes are just amazing, and the film has an amazing colour tone. The music by Hip Hop Tamizha is pleasant. The editing is fine except for a few scenes in the first 30 minutes. The twists and turns are quite excellent, and the final twist which comes in the end is just unexpectedly amazing!
Overall, KATHAKALI is a solid action thriller which will be remembered for its unpredictable screenplay and overall entertainment value. It deserves repeated viewings, and it proves the rise of Indian Cinema is happening!
Thank you Vishal!
Director Pandiraj is back after a long hiatus with back to back films. After Pasanga 2, it’s Kathakali now and this is his first action flick which is quite a deviation from his regular children’s flick and comedy films. Vishal had a mixed year of 2015 with average films like Aambala and Paayum Puli but he won the Nadigar Sangam elections which surely ended his year with a good note. Produced by Pandiraj and Vishal, Kathakali stars a simple cast of actors including Catherine Tresa, Karunas and co.
Kathakali is the story of a family ravaged by a local don who gets mysteriously murdered. With a lot of suspects including the lead and his brother, the crux of the story is to figure out who the actual murderer is. Just like any other film that builds up suspense, characters that aren’t connected to the murder are shown in a light as if they’re actually the murderer, only to unravel the twists at the end.
The film is slow paced intentionally and takes it’s time for the story to develop. This is a tailor made role for Vishal for whom the man who stands up to injustice is a character that fits like a glove. Catherine’s role of a city girl doesn’t have much to perform but gets a decent amount of screen space. Karunas is back after a while as a comedian and Imaan Annachi is there too for the comic relief. There are two songs which are cleared off at the first half itself. Hiphop Tamizha’s background track is definitely more interesting than the songs. Though it’s an action film, the use of very less fights but still having a gripping second half shows the directorial prowess. Handling the henchmen and sending a selfie with them to the villain shows how mass scenes are redefined these days. The only way to make a slow moving film entertaining is to cut short the run time and it has worked really well. Second half was much better and the final few minutes is a roller coaster ride with a line of twists.
Overall, Kathakali is a film that can be enjoyed with family for it’s clean content and less drama. Though one might walk out of the theatre sensing a lack of some important element, Kathakali is definitely worth watching once.

NCERT Solutions Class 6 Science Chapter 15: Air Around us
Ques. 1 : What is the composition of air?
Ans. Air contains the some water vapour , dust particles and gases.
The gases in the air are mainly Nitrogen, Oxygen and a small amount of Carbon dioxide and other gases like argon, etc.
Nitrogen and Oxygen together make up 99% of the air , the remaining 1% is constituted by carbon dioxide and few other gases, water vapour and dust particle.
Ques. 2 : Which gas in the atmosphere is essential for respiration?
Ans. The gas present in the atmosphere , essential for respiration, is Oxygen ( O2) .
Ques. 3 : How will you prove that air supports burning?
Ans. We can prove that air supports burning by performing the following experiment.
- Take a small burning candle.
- Cover the burning candle with a glass jar
- After some time, the candle is extinguished.
Result of the experiment : As the supply of air is stopped due to glass jar, the burning of candle is also stopped. Hence it is proved that air supports burning.
Ques. 4 : How will you show that air is dissolved in water?
Ans. To show the presence of air in water we can perform the following experiment.
- Take some water in a pan.
- Boil it.
- Before boiling of water , look carefully at the inner surface of the pan, tiny air bubbles are visible on the inside of the pan.
Result of experiment : These bubbles come from the air dissolved in water. Hence this experiment shows the presence of air in the water.
Ques. 5 : Why does a lump of cotton wool shrink in water?
Ans. Cotton wool is a bunch of fibre and air inside it. A lump of cotton wool shrink in water because air inside the lump of cotton wool is replaced by the water and keep the fibres closed.
Ques. 6 : The layer of air around the earth is known as _______________.
The layer of air around the earth is known as atmoshpere.
Ques. 8 : List five activities that are possible due to the presence of air.
Ans. Activities that are possible due to the presence of air –
- Flying of kites
- Burning of substances.
Ques. 9 : How do plants and animals help each other in the exchange of gases in the atmosphere?
Ans. Animals use oxygen for respiration and given out carbon dioxide , this carbon dioxide is used by the plants in the process of photosynthesis to make their own food.
Then oxygen is released in this process. This oxygen is used by animals for respiration and thus the cycle goes on.
So in this way plants and animals help each other in the exchange of gases in the atmosphere.

Raheem Sterling is one of the young players in the England team for the upcoming World Cup and is a force to be reckoned with
Raheem Sterling has come a long way from his days on the streets of Kingston, Jamaica. A 19-year-old with the world at his feet, the diminutive winger will represent England in the World Cup this summer as he attempts to light up Brazil, just like he claimed his Anfield stardom this year.
Raised without a father figure to look up to, the Liverpool mainstay moved to London alongside his mother at the age of five. His move from Queens Park Rangers to Merseyside, ten years after landing in England, courted a lot of controversy; after all, it is uncommon to hear about a high school student switching employers for £500,000. Yet, Sterling has pounded the notion that he is not just another teenager into the world’s consciousness.
England’s number 19 made his mark on Liverpool’s campaign from November onwards. His first league goal of the season came during his second full game; Norwich were the unlucky victims of his stunning performance. From thereon out, Sterling netted defining goals against Tottenham, Cardiff, Arsenal (2), Southampton, and Manchester City. In addition, he recorded the third highest number of successful dribbles per game in the entire Premier League (behind Eden Hazard and Luis Suarez), while registering less attempts than both per game. Sterling’s much-vaunted versatility saw him line up as a right wing-back, right winger, left winger, and an attacking midfielder, as the Reds made a push for their first Premier League in 24 years.
His defensive maturity, and positional intelligence and awareness afforded Liverpool some much-needed tactical flexibility throughout the season. All in all, Raheem registered 5 assists and 9 goals in 24 starts, while averaging 2.8 dribbles, 1.6 key passes, and 1.9 tackles-and-interceptions per game. It seems necessary at times to restate that Raheem Sterling was only born in December 1994.
His maturity on the pitch seems to translate off it nowadays. Court cases have ceased to come up, while certain shenanigan scandals have stopped surfacing on social media. Today, Raheem is a proud father of his 2-year-old daughter, Melody Rose, and is consistently lauded for his commitment during trainings and game preparations. “He is the toughest in our squad,” reveals Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard. “I don’t go near him in training because if I do, there is only one winner.”
What to Expect
Where Sterling lines up for England is up for debate, as his previously-mentioned adaptability will allow England manager Roy Hodgson to field him anywhere in attack. Depending on the formation, do not be surprised to see Sterling on either wing, or behind the striker. His pace and acceleration might serve as great weapons off the bench, while his willingness to press opponents diligently could be the key to stopping Andrea Pirlo during England’s first battle. That being said, Raheem’s tendency to tire around the 70-minute mark might see him used as a substitute, depending on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s fitness. His red card against Ecuador this week will not do his first XI chances a lot of favours, either.

Most of us have experienced the benefits of using Uber ride service at one time or another. Uber has revolutionized an age-old transportation service and made it seamless and transparent to both company and customer. Uber shows you the GPS location of available drivers on an interactive map, calculates the total cost of the ride upfront, sends you a text message or phone call when the driver will arrive, lets you pay for the ride using a credit card, and when the ride is over Uber emails you a receipt of the driver’s name, charges, payment method, service time, and driver rating.
Today’s leading software ERP platforms offer Uber-like capabilities to industrial gas distributors that seamlessly connect your back office, customer service reps, dispatchers, and drivers into one unified service for you and your customers. Here are a few examples how software platforms and smartphone mobile technologies can help Uberize industrial gas delivery operations:
1. Utilize dynamic scheduling & routing software. Using interactive maps and real-time delivery status updates, dispatchers can make quick and smart routing decisions with new delivery requests or existing route changes because truck locations and delivery statuses are updated in real-time. Customer service reps can use this same information to quickly answer customer calls about delivery statuses.
2. Mobilize truck inventory. Use a mobile device to scan every cylinder that’s loaded, delivered, picked up, and unloaded to maintain a perpetual truck inventory. Having real-time access to truck inventory availability and truck capacity puts you and your driver in a position to schedule additional deliveries or pick-ups.
3. Mobilize ERP software pricing, invoicing, and payment functions. The ability to calculate order totals and process the payment with a credit card at the point of delivery eliminates traditional invoicing and A/R collection processes which are time consuming and labor intensive. It’s also a great way to reduce the order to cash cycle from days down to minutes.
4. Eliminate paper. Email the customer a copy of the invoice and proof of delivery instead of using snail mail in order to eliminate mailing, paper and printer costs.
5.Record delivery times. Use this information to help educate customers on the value of your delivery services and fees. Measuring service times also helps optimize route capacity planning because both drive times and service times are recorded, analyzed, and incorporated into ongoing route planning activities which leads to greater routing efficiencies and ontime deliveries.
6.Incorporate GPS tracking and interactive maps. GPS saves you time and money by providing drivers with turn by turn directions. Calculating drive times between stops allows drivers to communicate arrival times directly to customers by text or phone. Customer service reps can utilize the same information to field customer delivery status inquiries because delivery updates are transmitted back to the office in real-time thanks to the seamless integration of mobile technologies and ERP software systems.
7. Mobilize customer information. For example, the ability to review existing cylinder balances with the customer is a great opportunity to identify aging cylinders to pick up and process.

Things I liked: Super nice ergonomic stock....soft touch over wood is very grippy and durable. The pistol grip and fully adjustable comb are extremely comfortable. The two-stage trigger is definitely match grade and easily adjusted without removing the action from the stock. Free of creep and a very clean break. Shrouded barrel and threaded end cap, you can make it very quiet if you add a supressor. Side lever cocking is long but super smooth and precise. Super accurate with 18gr JSB and Air Arms pellets. I have shot 1" groups at 100yds no problem. Power is high, 35fpe....able to launch heavy pellets with ease. Turn the power adjuster down for lighter pellets. Reasonably accurate with NSA slugs in 19 and 21gr....2" at 100yds. The metal work and fit and finish are top notch. This is a high quality rifle all the way around. I get an extreme spread of between 10 and 20 with heavy pellets, between 20 and 30 with 15gr pellets. This rifle is tuned for high power. I get 45 shots on the regulator.
Things I would have changed: Make the rifle so it allows for easy hammer spring adjustments. As it comes, there is little the shooter can do to fine tune.
What others should know: The rifle is long and heavy. It is high powered so expect to dial down from Max power when shooting 16gr or lighter pellets....and possibly 18gr pellets depending upon your own results. It shoots 19gr slugs at 900fps and 21gr slugs/pellets at 860fps..... plenty fast enough.

The Trials of Cato
Festival debutants and exciting new trad act, The Trials of Cato won a Radio 2 Folk Award for their debut album, Hide and Hair, in 2018 and are receiving glowing reviews for its mix of subtle melodies, haunting songs and captivating playing.
Notably formed in Beirut, Lebanon, The Trials of Cato have blazed a trail like no other since returning to the UK in 2016. Memorable performances across Britain, Europe, and North America led to Mark Radcliffe hailing the band ‘one of the real discoveries on the folk circuit in recent times’. The remarkable rise of Welsh/English trio The Trials of Cato on the UK folk-scene has been the subject of massive critical attention. Dubbed "the Sex Pistols of folk,” (John Davis – Led Zeppellin) they pay clear homage to the tradition whilst twisting old bones into something febrile and modern, with stomping tunes and captivating stories. Their latest album Gog Magog is awash with a spray of styles, ranging from neo-traditional interpretations of Welsh language poetry to current-day plague songs, as well as unexpected instrumental explorations of the outer edges of folktronica and trad-jazz. Tying it all together is still The Trials’ appetite for flights of adventure, anchored firmly by quality compositions and fabulous playing.
Band members, Polly Bolton, Tomos Williams and Robin Jones combine mandolin, tenor banjo, bouzouki and guitar with haunting vocals and catchy beats to create something really exciting.


Charge, Current, Voltage

- Electric potential energy, Khan Academy.
- Essential & Practical Circuit Analysis: Part 1- DC Circuits, Solid State Workship, YouTube.
Conventional Current And Charge
Historically positive charge moves through the circuit from the positive to negative terminals. This is called conventional current. We now know that it is, in fact, the flow of electrons from the negative to positive terminals that is current. Due to the historical precedent, current is still often shown as conventional current.
Conventional current flows from the positive pole (terminal) to the negative pole. Electrons flow from negative to positive. In a direct current (DC) circuit, current flows in one direction only, and one pole is always negative and the other pole is always positive. In an alternating current (AC) circuit the two poles alternate between negative and positive and the direction of the current (electron flow) reverses periodically..
Note that voltages are relative, which is why the negative terminal of the battery can be negative - it depends what the reference voltage you are measuring agains is - e.g. if ground is midway between the two terminals then they will have voltages -A and +A respectively.
Informally, current is a flow of electric charge.
Current, , is the amount of charge, , that moves through a point in the circuit at any time. Charge, , is measured in Coulombs. One electron has a charge of Coulombs. This is the smallest unit of charge possible.
Voltage, , is the amount of work (in Joules) that must be done per unit charge to move between two points in a field. I.e. 1 volt is 1 Joule per Coulomb.
To help understand this let's revisit the terms energy, work and power.
Energy is the ability to do work.
Work is the force that must be exerted to move a mass a certain distance.
Power is the rate at which energy is generator/consumed.
Energy is what makes it possible to move things. Moving things involves doing work and it takes energy to do this. Energy measures the total amount of work done. It does not say how fast the energy was used/produced.
Power gives that rate at which energy is used/produced. Power measures how fast the work gets done.
Give these definitions we can see how they are defined for electronics. Using some crude (read incorrect as we're using multiplcation not integration to make it seem simpler) we see: So energy is indeed the total work required to move a charge between two points in an electric field. And because We can see that electrical power (measured in Watts) is the rate of consumption/generation of electrical energy.
Note that electric potential energy is measured with respect to a reference point. In the image below one can see that the voltage either side of the resistor is measured w.r.t ground. Ground is the normal reference point, but any point in a circuit can be used as long as it is used consistently.
Note then, that potential difference, is the difference between to points, each of which has a potential energy w.r.t to a reference. The potential difference is the difference between these two points, but only make sense if the potential of each point is measured w.r.t to the same reference.
Ohm's law gives the relationship between voltage, current and resistance:
Nodes, Branches and Loops
Branch: A branch represents a single element such as a resistor. I.e., any two terminal element.
Node: A node is the point of connection between 2 or more branches. Every point going into the node, at the node, is at the same potential.
Loop: A loops is any closed path in a circuit. Starts and ends at the same node and does not pass through a node more than once.
Two important laws: Kirchoff's voltage law and Kirchoff's current law.
Kirchoff's current law says that the sum of currents flowing into a node must equal the sum of currents leaving a node. This is often expressed in another way: the sum of currents entering and leaving a node must always be zero. This works because we label, by convention, all currents entering the node as positive and all currents leaving the node as negative.
This can be written most compactly as:
Lets look at the following example [Ref]:
Kirchoff's voltage law says that the sum of voltages around a closed circuit must be zero.
This can be written most compactly as:
Say, for example, that is 12V, R2 is , R3 is , is 3V and R5 is . Then we know . We can then work out the current in the circuit using KVL by re-arranging the formula.
Resistors control the current that flows through a part of a circuit, as described by Ohm's Law (). Using the formula one can see that as either resistance increases, current falls, and vice versa.
Resistor Colour Codes
In the drawing to the left you can click on the value-boxes to change the colour bands on the resistor to find out the resistance represented by the colour encoding. Note it only shows a 4-band resistor. 5 and 6 colour bands are possible but not shown here.
Note: Sometimes the click event on the canvas doesn't fire... not quite sure why that is. If first click doesn't work, persevere :)
Some popular ways of remembering the resistor colour codes include "Bad Boys Ravish Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly" and my fav, "Bad Booze Rots Our Youg Guts, But Vodka Goes Well".
Resistor's In Series
Resistors in series can be "collapsed" into an equivalent single resistor with a resistance that is the sum of all the resistances of the individual resistors.
Using Kirchoff's voltage law: Using we can substitute in for the individual voltages across each resistor. Note that because this is a closed loop the current though each resistor will be the same (as there is no path in which the current can "split" up). Now, can also be re-written using as , where is the equivalent, total, resistance of the resistors in series...
Resistor's In Parallel
Resistors in parallel can also be "collapsed" into an equivalent single resistor...
Using Kirchoff's current law we can say that . Using , we can say the following: Subsituting the above back into , gives us the following. And, of course, can also be re-written, giving the solution:
Using Ohm's law we know the following. Using Kirchoff's voltage law, and substituting in the above, we know that, This means that we can say, Substituting into gives... Substituting into gives... In words, we can say that the voltage across the second resistor is proportional to the ratio of the second resistance to the total resistance.
One issue to be aware of is that any load placed across , i.e., in parallel with , will change the effective resistance of that node (remember resistors in parallel can be "collapsed" into an equivalent single resistor). Therefore, be aware that the load across will also influence the ratio of voltage division.
The Wheatstone Bridge
Using Kirchoff's voltage law around the loop consisting of , and we get the following. We can find the voltage across and by using the formula for voltage dividers: and are one voltage divider and and are the other voltage divider. Using the voltage divider formula we get the following two results: Here is the supply voltage. Substituting these into the first formula we get... If three out of the four resistances are known and the current across the branch is zero, the third resistance can be calculated.
Let's say that we don't know the resistance of . If we set all the other resistors to be equal so that , then the above formula simplified to the following.... Where is the known resistance and is the unknown resistance. This assumes that is roughly equal to and that all resistors are very closely matched.
A simple re-arrangement gives us...
In the above, , , and are all known. We know because we can measure it and the other known parameters are already set apriori. With more simple re-arrangement we get...
And now we can calculate the unknown resistance... why is this useful? Because this unknown resistance is our sensor. It could be a thermistor, LDR, or whatever... something that changes resistance due to the thing we're trying to measure.
One thing to note is that the of the Wheatstone Bridge is non-linear as the figure to the left shows: does not change linearly with changes in the unknown resistance ! In the figure I just picked pretty arbitrary values for the various knowns.
So... why use this rather complex arrangement to measure an unknown resistance when we could do the same using a simple voltage divider? The answer lies in the sensitivity of the measurement system. This is covered in the next section.
When current flows through a resistor it disipates power in the form of heat. When it flows through an LED it disipates power in the form of both heat and light.
Power, measured in watts, is defined as:
Resitors usually have a power rating (the power they can disipate) associated with them. This means that if you know the resistor's power rating you can calculate the maximum voltage or current you can put across/through them without breaking the resistor.
Voltage Sources & Current Sources, Ideal v.s. Real World
An ideal voltage source is one that supplies constant potential, no matter what load is connected to it. I.e., it produces whatever current is necessary to maintain the voltage across it [Ref]:
But, batteries, even power supplies etc etc are not ideal. In the real world they have a small internal resistance, anywhere between approx 0.1 Ω to 2 OHM() depending on the battery [Ref], which means they are modelled more like this:
It can be seen that because the internal resistance of the battery, is in series with the circuit it is powering, i.e., the load (simulated by the resistor), the combination acts like a voltage divider, and so the voltage across the load varies with its resistance. I.e.,the battery is not ideal (but its pretty close!)
This is why it is always best to measure the voltage across a power supply when it is under load.
We can now also understand that an ideal voltage source is one that has zero internal resistance.
An ideal current source is one that always produces the same current, no matter how the voltage across it or the resistance of the load it is "feeding" varies, [Ref].
This is why, incidently, in a circuit you cannot have two current sources in series!
It is possible to switch out a voltage source in a circuit for a current source and vice-versa using source transformation using Thevenin and Norton equivalent ciruits [Ref].
Circuits can have multiple sources. In this case, to determine voltage levels at nodes, the principle of superposition can be used:
- Set all sources to zero except one,
- Solve the necessary currents and voltages using only that source,
- Repeat the above step for each source
- Add the circuit values together - "superimpose" them onto one another.
Take the following example [Ref]:
In the above diagram we get:
- What Exactly Is A Current Source?, StackOverflow.com.
- Battery Internal Resistance, LearningAboutElectronics.com.
- Essential & Practical Circuit Analysis: Part 1- DC Circuits, Solid State Workship, YouTube.
Switches are defined by the number of poles and throws they have...
Poles: A switch pole refers to the number of separate circuits that the switch controls.
Throw: The number of throws indicates how many different output connections each switch pole can connect its input to. Think of it as how many places a single source can be "thown to".
A capacitor consists of two conducting plates separated by an insulator (a.k.a. a dialectric).
When connected to a voltage source, the source creates a positive charge on one plate and a negative one on the other plate:
Charge stored is proportional to applied voltage: Where is called the capacitance of the capacitor and is measured in Farads (F). By re-arranging the above we can see that capacitance is the charge per volt that the capacitor can store. Thus, the more charge that the capacitor stores per volt, the higher its capacitance is. This quanitity is dependent on the type of dialectric used, the surface area of each plate and the distance between the plates.
Recall that current is the amount of charge that moves past a point per unit time. Thus, by differentiating w.r.t time, the above, we get the current-voltage relationship of a cap: This gives us in important property of caps. Because for DC current the voltage does not change, is zero, so a capacitor is an open circuit to DC! (But it does charge). Because of the definition of a derivative, we also know that the voltage across a cap must be smooth - i.e., it cannot change abruptly.
Note that real capacitors dissipate their energy over time - they "leak"
Capacitors resist abrupt changes in voltage, which is why the function as low pass filters.
Charging Through A Resistor
When a capacitor, with a capacitance , charges in series through a resistor of resistance ohms, in seconds it will charge to 63% of the supply voltage and in seconds it charges to over 99% [Ref]. You get an exponentially decreasing current flow as the resistor draws current from the battery and the capacitor stores the current's flowing charge [Ref].
Recall KVL: the sum of voltages around a closed circuit must be zero. The dotted arrow in the diagram above shows a direction around a closed ciruit, which by KVL means that [Ref]: I.e., the current at time is proportional to the difference in voltages across the supply and the capacitor, the constant of proportionality being the resistance.
Now a quick aside to derive something we're going to need:
Recall: If we differentiate w.r.t time, we get: And we know that , so we can write: I.e., the current at time is also proportional to change in voltage across the capacitor, the constant of proportionality being the capacitance.
Now we can continue by substituting into to get: TODO - FILL REST IN
We end up with: We can see that as the value of RC increases, the exponential value will decrease, which means that the time it takes to charge the capacitor increases with either , or both of, and .
Capacitors In Series
Capacitors In Parallel
- Capacitor i-v equation in action, Willy McAllister, Khan Achademy,
- Derivation of Charging and Discharging Equations for RC Circuit, Khan Achademy,
- Deriving the formula from scratch for charging a capacitor, Adam Haun's answer on StackOverflow.com,
An inductor is a coil of wire, sometimes round a feris core, that stores energy in its magnetic field. Its strength depends on the number of turns in the coil and the type of core material and its cross-sectional area.
Inductors oppose the change of current flowing though them. They are measured in "Henrys". The formula below defines inductance, L. Inductance is the voltage generated per unit change in current. Integrating both sides and re-arranging we can get:
Inductors In Series
Inductors In Parallel
So, for 2 inductors in parallel:
Diodes let current flow in one direction, but not the other, and always drop the same voltage across them no matter the src voltage.
Diodes drop the same voltage across them no matter the voltage source rating. So, for example, silicon diode needs about 0.7V to fwd bias, but won't let the voltage drop across it exceed this. So if you don't protect it with a resistor it will allow too much current to flow an potentially overheat!
The total resistance RA + RB will determine the time it takes for the transistor to charge, assuming we keep capacitance constant. However, when the capacitor discharges, it only discharges through RB.
Recall charge time for a cap to charge to 63% of the voltage across is is . So by varying either the resistors or the capacitor the period of the pulse train output on pin 3 can be varied.
The diagrams above and below imagine that there is a switch inside the 555, which there is, its just not a mechanical switch like these diagrams suggest (see later below for more details). As the capacitor charges the voltage across it increases. When it hits 2/3 of the reference voltage, the switch in side the 555 closes such that pin 7 is shorted to ground. The capacitor then immediately starts to discharg through RB and when the voltage across the capacitor is less than 1/3 the reference voltage the switch opens again, starting the charge cycle and so on.
As the switch also controls the connection between the reference voltage and the output, this produces a pulse train who's frequency is determined by the two resistors and the capacitor, and with a duty cycle that is determined by the two resistors.
The following is a silly little animation of the capacitor discharging through R2. Imagine that the 3 red dots represent the flow of electrons from the negatively charged plate to the positive plate of the capacitor as it discharges. I think normally it would be shown using conventional current flow, but this animation uses actual electron flow. meh.
Wikimedia has a really nice illustration of the components in the 555, which I've copied below and inserted the components outside the chip that we used above to create an astable vibrator. Here, we can see that the switch shown above is really an RS flip flop combined with a transitor.
Each of the components, like the RS flip flop, comparitors and other gates can be further broken down into their transitor/resitor combinations, so the above is just another, slightly more detailed abstraction. The real circuit is far, far more complex when broken down into its "atomic" building blocks!

Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT)
NPN transistors consist of two N-type (negatively doped - excess electroncs) silicon "chunks" sandwiching a P-type (positively doped - exess holes or lacking electrons) as shown below. They are current controlled.
By forward biasing the emitter to base junction with even a small current, the transistor's resistance between the emitter and collector quickly decreses, allowing a relatively large current to from from the emitter to collector. I.e., base current controls current at emitter and collector.
The above configuration is called the common emitter configuration and is probably the most widely used [Ref].
NPN transistors can typically handle up to about 0.8 A. Thus, they are low current devices. For large currents MOSFETs are used (later section).
Saturation region is where the maximum collector current flows and the transistor is basically a closed switch from collector to emitter.
Active mode / region is where there is an almost linear relationship between the terminal currents at the base, collector and emitter. The transistor has some resistance, that is determined by the emitter/base current.
Cut-off region is where the transistor acts like an open switch.
A common NPN transistor is the 2N2222. Looking at the data sheet [Ref] we can find the following properties:
|Collector-base voltage VCBO
|Collector-emitter voltage VCEO
|Emitter-base voltage VEBO
|Peak collector current
|Peak base current
|Total power disipation
We can see that this device can handle a maximum of 0.8A though its emitter-collector and only 0.2A at the base. It is however, able to tolerate relatively high voltages, just not high currents, which as we said above, you'd need MOSFETs, or even relays for.
Lets represent the above common emitter example as a circuit diagram:
- The base is responsible for initiating transistor action. When a voltage is applied at the base, it gets biased and draws small current which is then used to control large current at the collector and emitter side.
- The base action is considered as an ON-OFF valve which generates current when a proper bias voltage is applied at this terminal.
- The small change at the voltage applied at the base terminal shows a large impact at the output terminals. Actually, base acts as an input and collector acts as an output in NPN transistor.
- In case of silicon transistor emitter-base junction draws voltage around 0.7 when there is no voltage at the base terminal, in order to initiate the electron action and put the transistor in running condition, the base voltage must be greater than 0.7 voltage in case of silicon transistor and 0.3 in case of germanium transistor.
