Resolve the issue of inaccessible drive partition in Linux

-
I had an unpartitioned disk space in my laptop. I then used gparted to create a partition with file system type ext4 which happens to be my file system type for the drive that is commonly referred to as c: drive for windows users ;-).

Soon, I realised that without root permission I am unable to save or copy any file from any where to this newly mounted and formatted section of my hard disk. I came across several forums and blogs with several commands to add users.

But somewhere I found the mention of ntfs file system and I also remembered  that while setting up mint on my desktop, I had no trouble to access or  read+write files on disk partitions made out of ntfs.

So, I formatted that drive partiton with gparted but this time with ntfs file system and bulls eye ;-).I could copy+paste read+write all my files and folders on my fujitsu lifebook laptop running zorin OS.

How does slope influence runoff

-
Runoff is the precipitation excess or the water leaving a drainage area regarded as rainfall minus loss by evaporation or infiltration.Runoff volume is the total volume of runoff water occuring over a period of time where Q(t) is the discharge at time t and the expression is :- Total runoff is the sum of the overland flow,ground water flow and through flow.The reason why water flow down hill over a sloping land surface is because of the following of the Bernoulli's equation .However,other opinion says the reason is decrease in potential energy rather than Bernoulli's equation .Steep slope will provoke speedy movement of water towards the outlet while gentle slope will result in slow movement allowing evapotranspiration.If the soil is porous then there will be infiltration and downflow in the form of throughflow or it may enter the ground water flow.Surface runoff or infiltration excess overland flow can only occur on the catchment slope if :- a)Rainfall rate is gre...

How using a dishwasher brought relief to my family and how I use it?

-
 Making the choice I came across several youtube videos on dishwasher initially. I am a tech savvy person and love to automate repeatative tasks and I have a goal to automate most of my household repeatative tasks. So, that we get quality time together and are not dependent on domestic help for heavy lifting. We have children and not a large family where she would receive support in child daily activities from family seniors. As a result, we are very much on our own and have to depend on our own time management and on machines - washing machine, refrigerator, 2 wheelers, amazon scheduled deliveries, dishwasher for our comfort and daily work needs. Deciding on the machine I checked different dishwasher online and zeroed in on Voltas beko 8 place set. It is the smallest and the cheapest machine with the highest review in the online e-commerce space.I also did a market study to see if the dishwasher specific detergents are available offline. It is not available. I also went to a local...
