What is the difference between strategies and guidelines?
Strategies give you specific instructions and/or ideas on what to do (alright, we are going to do this and that, at this speed - specific instructions). Guidelines, on the other hand, are just tips that help guide you in the right direction (alright, you should probably stay away from this, but keep this in mind).

How portfolio assessment is different in traditional assessment?
Portfolio assessments measure a personÃ?s ability over the course of a semester, whereas traditional assessments only measure ability at one point in time. It is also considered that portfolio assessments help teach a person how to take responsibility and traditional does not.
What is the difference between size and scale?
Size is how big something is, scale is how much is in that object. Think of the universe for example.

What is the difference between sketch and study?
So far we have used the term "sketching" to mean the making of a pictorial representation that is complete in itself.
We have avoided rendering the minute details, being interested only in capturing a spontaneous interpretation of the subject.
Along with making sketches, time should be taken to make studies.
Since we plan eventually to work our sketches into larger finished paintings in the studio, some details of the various objects
that make up the composition may be needed.
For example, if you have a large tree in the immediate foreground you will need more than just an impression of the tree.
The bark may possess an interesting textural quality. Take the time to make a detailed study of the bark formation.
If large rocks occupy an important part of your sketch, you will have to do more than just indicate them in light and shade.
Supplementary studies should be made so that rough and smooth areas, crevices, moss stain, and other details are
recorded.
Studies should be made of subtle color effects. Occasionally just paint the color passage of the foreground area.
At other times concentrate on the sky alone.
You will find that there are times when the scene before you does not produce much inspiration.
Instead of wasting time waiting or hoping for a more receptive mood, single out an area and make a study of it.
Tight black-and-white studies, rendered with pencil or pen, are excellent disciplinary exercises if you have a tendency to
work carelessly.
Whether you make studies for later studio paintings or just as a discipline, you will find them well worth the time spent.
What is the difference between a fly lead and a patch cord?
Generally a patch lead is shorter i.e. used in the patch panel. THe fly lead was generally used to connect an ethernet station to a network point, these are generally longer. These were common terms which were used when ethernet began to get popular. Unfortunately not many 'professionals' know the difference as they were brought up in the 'new age' of networking not using the terms.
The reason for the two 'different' cables is pure tidyness. Quite often you see patch panels with LONG trailing fly leads patching various ports. This is quite messy if you had a large network. Using patch leads, you could make them up to an exact length, following the cable ducts to make it cleaner to look at and ultimately easier to troubleshoot.
Despite having different names, they are both wired exactly the same:
Orange/White
Orange
Green/White
Blue

What is the difference between a tradition and a celebration?

What is the difference between dr and DR. and DR?
There is no difference between Dr and DR and DR. when used to show that a person has a doctorate in medicine or botany or other subject.
However, Dr. is the preferred abbreviation, as in Dr. Smith. This follows the pattern of Mr. and Mrs. in using a capital followed by small letters and a period to show that it is an abbreviation.
Only the letters that come after the person's name can tell you if the person has an M.D. (Medical Doctor) or a Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) or other advanced degree.
==============
Some people believe that Dr. is dedicated to a medical practitioner. So, DR. should be used for Ph. D holders in other subjects.
What are differences between the ascii code and ebcdic code?
American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is a system of computer code in which all values are given eight digit binary values (max 256 possible values). The first 32 values are for different operational functions such as Escape, Backspace, Carriage Return. The next 96 make up all the characters you have on your keyboard. The first 128 values comprise what is called the standard ASCII character set. The last 128 values (extended ASCII character set) are characters such as ¥, ó, ½.
EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code ) (pronounced either "ehb-suh-dik" or "ehb-kuh-dik") is a binary code for alphabetic and numeric characters that IBM developed for its larger operating systems. It is the code for text files that is used in IBM's OS/390 operating system for its S/390 servers and that thousands of corporations use for their legacy applications and databases. In an EBCDIC file, each alphabetic or numeric character is represented with an 8-bit binary number (a string of eight 0's or 1's). 256 possible characters (letters of the alphabet, numerals, and special characters) are defined.
IBM's PC and workstation operating systems do not use IBM's proprietary EBCDIC. Instead, they use the industry standard code for text, ASCII. Conversion programs allow different operating systems to change a file from one code to another.
What is difference decimation and downsampling?
Loosely speaking, "decimation" is the process of reducing the sampling rate. In practice, this usually implies lowpass-filtering a signal, then throwing away some of its samples.
"Downsampling" is a more specific term which refers to just the process of throwing away samples, without the lowpass filtering operation. Throughout this FAQ, though, we'll just use the term "decimation" loosely, sometimes to mean "downsampling".
What are the differences between Christmas and Advent?
advent is the 4-week period prior to Christmas, with Christmas as the pinnacle and ending of the Advent.
How are meander and oxbow lake alike?
A meander in a river follows a winding course through a valley. An oxbow is a small curved lake lying on the flood plain of a river constituting the remnant of a former meander. The similarity is historical.
What is the difference between factoring and expanding?
Factoring (or factorization) means finding combinations of integers that multiply together to give the integer being factored.
( As defined by eHow)
5 x 3 = 15
5 and 3 are factors of the product.
finding the factors= Factoring
Eq: X2 + 4x + 4 = 0
F: (x+2)(x+2)
Expanding is literally expanding.
Eq: (x+2)(x+2)= x2+4x+4

What is the difference between a hot water generator and steam boiler?
boiler use many type of working fluids like water, mercury, liquid sodium, etc., but steam generator works only with water as working fluid.
hence all steam generator are boilers but all boilers are not steam generators...
What is difference between vtp 1 and vtp 2?
Hi everybody
the difference between VTP version 1 and version 2 are :
1- version 1 : it supports Token Ring Vlans
2- version 2 : it supports consistency checks .it means , when the new information about the VTP domain is entered through the command line or others as SNMP ,VTP version 2 will perform the consistency check . in VTP version 2 , if a switch is in transparent mode .it will forward the message without checking version information .
What is the difference between interlace-yuv video vs p-scan ypbpr video?
Interlaced YUV will only display lines 1 3 5 etc. then go to lines 2 4 6... in the next screen refresh cycle of 50 or 60 times per second depending where you live in the world.
Progressive will display all the lines at once in every cycle, so effectively twice as much info onscreen in any one cycle.
For your purposes YPbPr is the same as YUV. Technically YUV is a type of colour gamut, or colour space standard to ensure colours match from one device to the next. YPbPr is an analog connection using this colour space standard and uses three cables (red, blue & green) just for the picture. YCbCr is a digital version of this. Both are commonly called Component. For the average home TV viewer these terms are all interchangeable - YUV, YPbPr and YCbCr. Even the sales assistant is unlikely to have a clue there is a difference.
It is chips with faster clock cycles and processing power that have helped us attain this point.
The newer players and TVs allow even more lines on-screen than the original Standard Definition (SD) TV lines of 576 (PAL) or 480 (NTSC). A DVD is however only SDTV resolution.
To get more definition onscreen you need to be receiving an HDTV (1280x720) signal normally arriving via satellite dish (DVB-S), a FullHDTV (1920x1080) signal from a ground transmitter (DVB-T), or a Blu-ray Disc player (1080).
Cable TV (DVB-C) can be in almost any resolution as it is encoded to suit the bandwidth available and often the resolution is traded off for the number of channels the station want to make available.
