Is the saying 'all intents and purposes' or 'all intense purposes'?
Intents and Purposes The correct phrase is "to all intents and purposes." This phrase dates back to the 1500s and originated in English law, where it was "to all intents, constructions, and purposes." In modern usage, "for all intents and purposes" is also acceptable. The phrase means "for all practical purposes" and is generally used to compare two nonidentical acts or deeds, i.e.,"We've got a few odd things to finish, but to all intents and purposes the job is done." "They redesigned the old model and created something which was to all intents and purposes a brand new car." A shorter equivalent phrase is "in effect."
When used in a strictly legal sense, the wording would be "intent and purposes," as it refers to one's mental attitude/state at the time said action occurred.
A common malapropism is "for all intense and purposes" (also, "for all intensive purposes") a result of the original phrase being misheard and repeated. The word "intense" is used here incorrectly; "intense" is used in English to indicate a degree of intensity, i.e., "As the afternoon passed, the fire grew more intense."
Suggestion
It is important to avoid malapropisms as far as possible, as some people take them as a hallmark of ignorance and lack of education. If you have problems with "to all intents and purposes," bear in mind that in that expression "intents" is redundant. Use one of the alternatives suggested above.

What is all purpose flour in Hindi?
all purpose flour in hindis is nothing but plain maida This flour is used to make a wide variety of food items like puri, chappathi, parotta, etc. Maida is sometimes referred …to as "All purpose flour".In India maida is used to make pasteries and other bakery items like bread,biscuit,toast " from Wikipedia so therefore a definite YES - - - but one suspects the All-Purpose Flour in Canada to be cleaner and more prone to produce white bread whereas the Indian variety may be coarser and closer to whole wheat in texture & flavor.

What is a good all purpose cleaner?
You don't really specify if you're looking for a non-toxic/environmentally friendly cleaner or a conventional (chemical) cleaner. But since we need to take better care of our… earth I'll recommend a good "non-toxic" cleaner. It's called basic H2 and can be purchased through an Independent Shaklee Distributor. Basic H was invented by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee in 1960. He believed products should be as good for the earth as they are good for you. Basic H is still available but Basic H2 is its successor. It's an organic, super cleaning concentrate and has hundreds of uses. Just 2 drops in 16 oz of water makes glass and mirror cleaner. A 16 oz bottle costs about $10 bucks and will make 48 gallons of all purpose cleaner - so you can see it's cost effective! Basic-H was selected as an official Earth Day product, has been used on Jacques Cousteau's ships, in the Biosphere 2 Project, and by many other environmental groups. And, yes, it works : ) (MORE)

What is octane all about or the purpose?
Almost all cars use four-stroke gasoline engines. One of the strokes is the compression stroke, where the engine compresses a cylinder-full of air and gas into a much sm…aller volume before igniting it with a spark plug. The amount of compression is called the compression ratio of the engine. A typical engine might have a compression ratio of 8-to-1. The octane rating of gasoline tells you how much the fuel can be compressed before it spontaneously ignites. When gas ignites by compression rather than because of the spark from the spark plug, it causes knocking in the engine. Knocking can damage an engine, so it is not something you want to have happening. Lower-octane gas (like "regular" 87-octane gasoline) can handle the least amount of compression before igniting. The compression ratio of your engine determines the octane rating of the gas you must use in the car. Can higher octane fuels give me more power? On modern engines with sophisticated engine management systems, the engine can operate efficiently on fuels of a wider range of octane rating, but there remains an optimum octane for the engine under specific driving conditions. Older cars without such systems are more restricted in their choice of fuel, as the engine can not automatically adjust to accommodate lower octane fuel. Because knock is so destructive, owners of older cars must use fuel that will not knock under the most demanding conditions they encounter, and must continue to use that fuel, even if they only occasionally require the octane. If you are already using the proper octane fuel, you will not obtain more power from higher octane fuels. The engine will be already operating at optimum settings, and a higher octane should have no effect on the management system. Your driveability and fuel economy will remain the same. The higher octane fuel costs more, so you are just throwing money away. If you are already using a fuel with an octane rating slightly below the optimum, then using a higher octane fuel will cause the engine management system to move to the optimum settings, possibly resulting in both increased power and improved fuel economy. You may be able to change octanes between seasons ( reduce octane in winter ) to obtain the most cost-effective fuel without loss of driveability. Once you have identified the fuel that keeps the engine at optimum settings, there is no advantage in moving to an even higher octane fuel. The manufacturer's recommendation is conservative, so you may be able to carefully reduce the fuel octane. The penalty for getting it badly wrong, and not realising that you have, could be expensive engine damage. Does low octane fuel increase engine wear? Not if you are meeting the octane requirement of the engine. If you are not meeting the octane requirement, the engine will rapidly suffer major damage due to knock. You must not use fuels that produce sustained audible knock, as engine damage will occur. If the octane is just sufficient, the engine management system will move settings to a less optimal position, and the only major penalty will be increased costs due to poor fuel economy. Whenever possible, engines should be operated at the optimum position for long-term reliability. Engine wear is mainly related to design, manufacturing, maintenance and lubrication factors. Once the octane and run-on requirements of the engine are satisfied, increased octane will have no beneficial effect on the engine. Run-on is the tendency of an engine to continue running after the ignition has been switched off, and is discussed in more detail in Section 8.2. The quality of gasoline, and the additive package used, would be more likely to affect the rate of engine wear, rather than the octane rating. Can I mix different octane fuel grades? Yes, however attempts to blend in your fuel tank should be carefully planned. You should not allow the tank to become empty, and then add 50% of lower octane, followed by 50% of higher octane. The fuels may not completely mix immediately, especially if there is a density difference. You may get a slug of low octane that causes severe knock. You should refill when your tank is half full. In general the octane response will be linear for most hydrocarbon and oxygenated fuels eg 50:50 of 87 and 91 will give 89. Attempts to mix leaded high octane to unleaded high octane to obtain higher octane are useless for most commercial gasolines. The lead response of the unleaded fuel does not overcome the dilution effect, thus 50:50 of 96 leaded and 91 unleaded will give 94. Some blends of oxygenated fuels with ordinary gasoline can result in undesirable increases in volatility due to volatile azeotropes, and some oxygenates can have negative lead responses. The octane requirement of some engines is determined by the need to avoid run-on, not to avoid knock. What happens if I use the wrong octane fuel? If you use a fuel with an octane rating below the requirement of the engine, the management system may move the engine settings into an area of less efficient combustion, resulting in reduced power and reduced fuel economy. You will be losing both money and driveability. If you use a fuel with an octane rating higher than what the engine can use, you are just wasting money by paying for octane that you can not utilise. The additive packages are matched to the engines using the fuel, for example intake valve deposit control additive concentrations may be increased in the premium octane grade. If your vehicle does not have a knock sensor, then using a fuel with an octane rating significantly below the octane requirement of the engine means that the little men with hammers will gleefully pummel your engine to pieces. You should initially be guided by the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, however you can experiment, as the variations in vehicle tolerances can mean that Octane Number Requirement for a given vehicle model can range over 6 Octane Numbers. Caution should be used, and remember to compensate if the conditions change, such as carrying more people or driving in different ambient conditions. You can often reduce the octane of the fuel you use in winter because the temperature decrease and possible humidity changes may significantly reduce the octane requirement of the engine. Use the octane that provides cost-effective driveability and performance, using anything more is waste of money, and anything less could result in an unscheduled, expensive visit to your mechanic. Can I tune the engine to use another octane fuel? In general, modern engine management systems will compensate for fuel octane, and once you have satisfied the optimum octane requirement, you are at the optimum overall performance area of the engine map. Tuning changes to obtain more power will probably adversely affect both fuel economy and emissions. Unless you have access to good diagnostic equipment that can ensure regulatory limits are complied with, it is likely that adjustments may be regarded as illegal tampering by your local regulation enforcers. If you are skilled, you will be able to legally wring slightly more performance from your engine by using a dynamometer in conjunction with engine and exhaust gas analyzers and a well-designed, retrofitted, performance engine management chip.

Are all religions for the same purpose?
They don't even claim to be for the same purpose.? Christianity is unique for example, in that it says that no one can earn the grace of God, but they must receive it …by faith. Salvation and eternal life are therefore not things which can be earned by good works, but which can only be received by faith as gifts of God earned through the finished work of Christ on the Cross to atone for human sin. Answer 2: If person want to see whole city he has to climb high place first. Instead of asking all question about religions , ask does any religion teach steeling,tell lie, hurt some one .All religions teach how to be happy and make other happy. Do not compare religions unless you have self realization. All Gods name is for our soul. Answer 3: The scent of a rose is still as sweet regardless of the soil in which it grows. Every major world religion began in the East, in different ages, and spread primarily to only certain parts of the globe as though destined for certain peoples. Yet the scriptures of each of these major religions contains what has become known as the "Golden Rule." This includes the Vedic religions of Asia (e.g., Hinduism). So it would seem that all religions ARE for the same purpose - to bring mankind out of darkness and into the light of the knowledge of God. Answer 4: All religions teach how to be happy in all condition. When you go in deep it will teach you the relationship between body and soul. Once you know your soul you know everything(complete knowledge). (MORE)
