Problem of Installing and running Anaconda in Linux Mint 18.3

-
I downloaded the linux version of anaconda3 environment. This was the first time I tried installing anaconda environment. The problem i found between linux installation and windows installation are as follows:-

1. Intalling in windows was quite straightforward (I installed the same anaconda edition in my office desktop). Its just like going with the flow.

2. My firs time installation in linux was not a clear installation and I realise that my bash file addition was not properly written or went without being written at all.

3. Linux installation is through the terminal and with lot of scripts and downloads taking place one after another which might look overwhelming

4. Very limited or insufficient content on different types of linux distros and what types of errors and how to deal with those errors in distro specific ways

5. I did the easiest way. I understood that I didnt have clear installation. I deleted the anaconda3 folder and reinstalled the setup file (.sh file) for linux. This time I was also more alert and was reading through every command and yes/no type answers that the set up systemw as asking from me. Towards the final installation, there is a yes/no type option which asks user to installer to add startup link to the system bash file, which I chose as 'yes'. It actually worked and the environment ran.

6. I also realised that the anaconda IDE installation is similar to Knime installation as it runs by running a coming from inside the installed folder. Those who has used Knime will know what I am talking about. But this is basically the general problem with linux distros and the linux community must come forward to resolve this information gap which keeps common users like us away from using linux distros in every day life.

7. While trying to install in another system, i had to open terminal ( not using administrator option) then run - bash filename.sh

Distinguish between barotropic & baroclinic conditions of the atmosphere

-
An air mass which is defined as a large body of air whose physical properties especially temperature, moisture & lapse rate are more or less uniform horizontally for hundreds of kilometers.                             barotropic condition of atmosphere is theoretically ideal condition where surfaces of constant pressure are not intersected by isostereic(constant density) surfaces, so that in a vertical cross-section isobars(imaginary lines joining places of equal atmospheric pressure) & isotherms appear parallel i.e,zero baroclinicity.It is a rare phenomenon & is found in case of frontogenesis,separated by baroclinic front zone.          Baroclinic condition of atmosphere is seen in comparatively narrow zones (perhaps 1000Km. in width) of thermal discontinuity also known as fronts in air mass property. They are belts of sharp meteorological gradient recognized as distinct factors in the origin of mid-latitude disturbances. The instability is associated with rising wa

Airtel DTH: Error B001/Error B003 and Why I left Airtel possibly for Better

Why did I decided to Leave?  It has been 2 weeks since I complained about B001 error and Airtel in between replaced 2 set top boxes but problem remained. I have replaced everything as per "diagnosis" of airtel DTH technician but no solution could be reached. Currently, my balance has been deducted from INR200 to INR 10. There are discrepancies with the bills issued against parts replacements conducted during this period. It must be stressed here that I as a customer felt cheated, neglected, harassed by Airtel +Service Partner and I was a 7-8 years+ customer. We never saw that set top box seals were broken in front of our eyes for both the replacements by technicians. My comparison chart for new service provider

Why do isotherms shift north & south from season to season?

-
An isotherm is an imaginary line drawn on a weather chart or map to join places of equal temperature. Temperature varies from season -as there is high temperature during summer & low temperature during winter with minor changes during transitionary seasons. We know that temperature is proportional to atmospheric pressure & inversely proportional to density.                                                        A.P.=K*D*T                                                           T=A.P*1/D where,A.P.=atmospheric pressure;K=constant;D=density;T=temperature      During the summer season in either of the hemisphere's the sun is vertically overhead of the tropic of cancer/capricorn.The land which has a low specific heat capacity & also being a bad conductor of heat re-radiates the heat to the atmosphere resulting in the spreading of molecules of atmospheric gases due to the heat energy. As molecules spread over a wide region it's pressure on the land becomes l
