Wht is Yoga?

Yoga is a physical and mental practice that involves the body, mind and spirit. The practice -- which originated in India -- is designed to enhance awareness, create a mind-body-spirit balance, cleanse, heal and strengthen the body, liberate the true "S"elf and (as practiced today) improve fitness. The most common form practiced in the U.S. is Hatha yoga, which includes specific movements or postures (Asana), various breathing techniques (Pranayama) and is often complimented with, meditation (Dhyana).
Yoga's gentle, mindful and controlled movements can provide a non- or low-impact workout for people in almost any physical condition. Yogic exercises -- and there are many -- can ease tense muscles, improve flexibility and enhance strength, balance and endurance.
The word "yoga" means to join or bind together, and the practice joins together the body, mind and spirit. (On a spiritual level, it can refer to the union of the individual with the absolute truth or true Self (Atman).)
Yoga is now practiced around the world for its psychological, physical and spiritual benefits. Americans have practiced it for at least 150 years, but it gained popularity in the 1960s as young people developed a taste for all things Eastern.

Wht is I-94?

The I-94 is a U.S. visitor's arrival and departure record. This card will be giving to you upon entry to the U.S. Please keep this card as you will be asked to turn it into DHS when you depart. This is a very important document and always keep it stapled with your passport near your visa is stamped.
Your visa expiry date and I-94 card expiry date may be same or different. But incase your I-94 arrival card has different expiry date then this is the date until which you can live in USA. Stay beyond this date is absolutely illegal and is a serious crime.
Many a time it happens that people have H1 visa expiry date of 1 or 2 years down the line and the I-94 card expiry is 3 years down the line. Means, if you do not leave the country then you can live in USA until the expiry of the I-94 card even though your H1 visa has expired earlier.
But once you leave the country anytime, then you will have to hand-over the I-94 card to the INS officer at the airport and you need to have a valid H1 Visa before again entering the USA. For the second time, a new I-94 card will be issued to you and this will be your new date until which you can live in USA.
Incase you loose this document during your tenure in USA, immediately get back to your company HR and attorney to get a new copy of the document. This should be done as soon as possible.

C#

1.Does C# support multiple-inheritance?
Ans. No! It may be achieved however, using interfaces.

2.Who is a protected class-level variable available to?
Ans.It is available to any sub-class (a class inheriting this class).

3.Are private class-level variables inherited?
Ans. Yes, but they are not accessible. Although they are not visible or accessible via the class interface, they are inherited.

4.Describe the accessibility modifier “protected internal”.
Ans. It is available to classes that are within the same assembly and derived from the specified base class.

5.What’s the top .NET class that everything is derived from?
Ans.System.Object.

6.What does the term immutable mean?
Ans.The data value may not be changed.
Note: The variable value may be changed, but the original immutable data value was discarded and a new data value was created in memory.

7.What’s the difference between System.String and System.Text.StringBuilder classes?
Ans.System.String is immutable. System.StringBuilder was designed with the purpose of having a mutable string where a variety of operations can be performed.

8.What’s the advantage of using System.Text.StringBuilder over System.String?
Ans.StringBuilder is more efficient in cases where there is a large amount of string manipulation. Strings are immutable, so each time a string is changed, a new instance in memory is created.

9.Can you store multiple data types in System.Array?
Ans.No.

10.What’s the difference between the System.Array.CopyTo() and System.Array.Clone()?
Ans.The Clone() method returns a new array (a shallow copy) object containing all the elements in the original array. The CopyTo() method copies the elements into another existing array. Both perform a shallow copy. A shallow copy means the contents (each array element) contains references to the same object as the elements in the original array. A deep copy (which neither of these methods performs) would
create a new instance of each element's object, resulting in a different, yet identacle object.

11.How can you sort the elements of the array in descending order?
Ans.By calling Sort() and then Reverse() methods.

12.What’s the .NET collection class that allows an element to be accessed using a unique key?
Ans.HashTable.

13.What class is underneath the SortedList class?
Ans.A sorted HashTable.

14.Will the finally block get executed if an exception has not occurred?
Ans.Yes.

15.What’s the C# syntax to catch any possible exception?
Ans.A catch block that catches the exception of type System.Exception. You can also omit the parameter data type in this case and just write catch {}.

16.Can multiple catch blocks be executed for a single try statement?
Ans.No. Once the proper catch block processed, control is transferred to the finally block (if there are any).

17.Explain the three services model commonly know as a three-tier application.
Ans.Presentation (UI), Business (logic and underlying code) and Data (from storage or other sources).

Banana

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.
No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
