we *really* can't do that, not least becuase all of these questions are going to need detailed explanation and understanding... you can't just recite an answer... if you can't answer these questions and your job depends on it, then you should not do the job in the first place.

You also posted in the wrong forum, please think twice when posting a question. i'm closing this thread anyway, as it's totally unsuitable for lq.org.
