a boat A leaves a certain port, taking the direction N.68 degrees E. at the rate of 12 miles per hour. After  one hour, another boat B leaves the same port, taking the direction S.90 degrees E.at the rate of  16 miles per hour,when will B be directly south of A? at that moment what is the distance  beween the two boats///

If I'm reading your description right, I think your first boat is heading up and to the right ("direction N.68 degrees E") making an angle of 68 degrees with north, or 22 degrees with east.  And I think your second boat is headed directly east ("S.90 degrees E").  So I'm assuming that they form a triangle, with one angle being 22 degrees and another one being a 90 degree angle, since we're looking for the point where one boat will be directly south of the other.\n\nThe first boat traveled 12t miles so far.  The second boat left an hour later and traveled 16(t-1) miles.\n\nThe first boat's path turns out to be the hypotenuse of the triangle, and the second boat's path will be one of the adjacent legs to the 22 degree angle.  So we can set up an equation with trig identities:\n\ncos 22 = 16(t-1)/12t\n0.9272 = 4(t-1)/3t\n2.7816t = 4t - 4\n4 = 1.2184t\nt = 3.3 hours\n\nSo after 3.3 hours, one boat will be directly south of the other.\n\nFinding that distance can be done one of several ways: using the Pythagorean theorem, sine relationships, law of cosines, etc.  I'll use sine, since we're already doing trig.  After 3.3 hours, the northernmost boat will have traveled 39.6 miles.  The distance between the boats becomes our side opposite the 22 degree angle.  So,\n\nsin 22 = distance between/39.6\ndistance = 39.6sin 22\n= 14.83 miles\n\nNow if I read the angle wrong, then simply go back and change all the "22" angles to the correct one and recalculate.


one day my boyfriend from fourth grade made me cry and during class he called me a cry baby. And at the begging at our relation ship I told him I was emotional. He still called me a crybaby and he broke up with me because I called him dum and know he's going out with my best friend.

He's NOT worth your time.. Move on to someone else.. He's just playing w/ your emotion..

Girls lose guys trusts after a situation occur. Girls keep on giving fewer chances for guy to approach them. Guy are losing there braveness to tell a girl. "How they feel" becasue when they express it to them. The result become worst. Girl should give guy chances.

i would say.. both guys and girls are the same. that's just part of your perspective.. the world is big.. you can't just jump into conclusions..

the code should not use file manipulation and advanced methods, it can only use basic features of C++ like loops.

I have heard this question so many times that I decided to look it up on the net and I found a very good site that explains it very well, step by step.\nSo I will simply link that one here. This is the C equivalent, you can modify it for c++!\n\nhttp://www.iwebthereforeiam.com/programming/selfWrite.asp\n\nEnjoy!

Prophet Abraham (Abraham) pbuh perhaps received teachings from people of other civilization. Ancient Jewish literature may have has some references to this fact .The New Testament presents a slightly modified version , where it is claimed that God visited Arbaham, perhaps the intend of the original scripture was lost in translation from its original language to later and modern languages.\nCan some one shed more light on this assumption

According to the Torah and its commentaries, Abraham, through his own means, came to recognize that there is only one true God.  Once he came to that conclusion, God revealed himself to Abraham thru prophecy and thru the medium of angels.


I was diagnosed with a 'tilted womb' about 10yrs ago, i am a healthy 41yr old woman, Does anyone know if: a) it happens naturally, or b)it was caused by something else.... eg an accident or penetration, and cud this b the reason that i've been diagnosed with "inconclusive-fertility", hence the reason why i've never been pregnant.

its genetics. A uterus doesn't "become" tilted. It is or has always been that way. I have the same issue, and it was diagnosed about 12 years ago. Uterine placement is not something common, so it is not looked for or noticed in routine paps. It can hinder conception as the sperm have a harder time getting up "the slope" per se.

I think of her night and day, but she seems like she could care less...I dont want to get hurt but i want to tell her how i feel but im afraid after only two dates that i will scare her..i think shes the one for me but how do i make her understand how much i think of her without running her off.She says she wants to spend time with me and give it a go but she seems so cold

I know how you feel,except mine was a guy.When I had finaly told him,he never talked to me again,but grls are different.Just spend more time ith her, ask he4r questions about life and love.See how she feels first.You dont want to rush things,but you don't want her hanging on the edge of her seat waiting for you to tell her.If I were her,I would want you to tell me,and if I didn't feel the same at that time I'ld let you know.If you do tell her,and she shunns you, don't let it get to you.It sounds like you're a very kind and sweet person.You could get any grrl....\n\n\n~~~~Panda Grrl


armenia is an invader country. And it has occupied GARABAGH which belongs to AZERBAIJAN.AZERBAIJAN HAS 1million refugees. Come and see.

I believe that Armenia came to the aid of an enclave of Armenians living in Azerbaijan territory but ended up occupying an area that was mostly Azeri.  \n\nHowever I'm speculating all the way from Canada and I'm sure that they don't tell me the whole story.  I would love to come and see for myself but I can't afford to right now.\n\nMaybe you could tell us your side of the story.  I would like to hear it.


IF LOVE IS THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD THEN WHY ARE WE KILLING EACH OTHER OVER MONEY?

Money is NOT the root of all evil...the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. What this means is, people put money above the Great Spirit (God, Buddha, whatever you call your higher power), before family, friends all they care about is getting more money, greed. Love IS the greatest thing in the world, the problem is people love money!


1.) radius = 3 in.\n2.) diameter = 3 ft.\n3.) radois = 6 m\n4.) diameter = 5 cm.\n5.) radius = 10 yd.

So you know, it's pi, not pie. And, by definition, pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. So pi = C/D. Or, C = (pi)D. Or, more commonly, C = 2(pi)r.\n\nArmed with this knowledge, we see that:\n\n1) C = 2(pi)(3) = 18.84\n2) C = (pi)(3) = 9.42\n3) C = 2(pi)(6) = 37.68\n4) C = (pi)(5) = 15.7\n5) C = 2(pi)(10) = 62.8\n\nI hope this helps! =]

theyre selfish political goals they've blinded as religion.  In my opinion there's no extent into how bad we should treat them, theyre horrible people.

yes we SHOULD torture them\n\nthey arent u.s. citizens, they dont have constitutional rights\ntheir surrender was unconditional\n\nwe should have an eye-for-eye-tooth-for-tooth system. if they cut our peoples heads off with dull bladed swords, we have every right to do the same\n\nin the phillippines they stopped the insurrection by burying the islamic extremists in pig feces.. that stopped it really quickly since they believe being buried in pig feces is an auto-hell granting.  we should do what the filipinos did.

If you don't have dental insurance, tell me how you can ask the dentist for a small discount or if he should give you a discount.

Hey Jewel,\nI am a dentist and if a person pays for the service in full on the same day I render it I will give them an 8% discount (Only 4% with a credit card as I have to pay the 3-4% for credit cards used in my office).  I don't do this for insurance patients because I have to collect the insurance payment directly from the insurance company and that takes a couple of weeks so I don't receive payment the same day.  One person suggested Care Credit for financing treatment and that it a great suggestion. I don't work with Care Credit but I work with the Dental Fee Plan through Capital One which is very similar and I'm sure your dentist has some institution he or she works with- just ask them.  I don't consider it tacky when a patient asks for a discount as long as they do it tactfully.  Just say something like "Do you have a discount for cash patients?"  Believe me cash patients are my favorite patients. Insurance companies are a pain in the butt to deal with and I have to take a discount when working with them, so I sure don't mind to do it for my cash paying patients. BUT...I DON'T GIVE THEM A CASH DISOUNT UNLESS THEY ASK FOR IT.\nDr. R.

Try to reinstall and after that remove again. Kazzaa also installs a lot of ad-ware so you need to use a program to track those and clean your system after kazzaa too.


Unfortunately, humans tend to blindly discriminate race/religion; being racist. It's just so strange that different people in different country are being brought up differently.\n\nSome are brought up being intensely prejudice towards other races or religion but in my lovely country here, we all respect each others' religion and race despite the ugly racial riots history which was all in the past and we all learnt from it, hence never to do such a thing and not repeating the same past mistakes.\n\nAlso, my country has lots of religion and race from over the world coming to live here and we still do respect each others' belief. Instead of accusing and hating, we learnt about each other ethnic groups. Whether we have religion or not, we all still have respect for each other. No violence of intense prejudice is practised here. \n\nDiscuss.

Yeah,this kinda remind me of kids,i mean little kids.They know no boundaries,race or religion.I was watching my son the other day,he was playing at the airport with another child who spoke a different language from my son`s.It was amazing to watch them especially when a 3rd kid joined in who spoke yet a different language from the two.\nI said to myself:THE WORLD WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER PLACE IF WE ADULTS PUT OUR DIFFERENCES AWAY AND WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE LIKE THE KIDS!!!


I've already written two letters detailing my requests and pointing out my value, but she just keeps saying how proud she is of me but "no" on the money part.  It's a commission only job and she keeps lowering commission.  Pretty soon it will actually cost me money to work there!  She is covering my health care premiums because I've been there four years.

Check around and see what comparable jobs are paying. Then, armed with this evidence, request a private meeting to discuss the issue. Explain that your current situation si such that you may soon be paying to work. If she's not willing to budge, consider updating your resume and looking for a different position.


In fact, Jesus NEVER EVER said pray to me, yet most Christians do that. Why then do you pass judgment on catholics. I'm not saying it's bad to pray to Jesus, by no means. You above all should understand that the path of righteous is what Jesus wants us to follow. So, instead of judging(which by the way, G-- doesn't like you stealing HIS job) embrace their similarities to you \n\nand for the record, those that think the sitings of Mary, Guadalupe, Saints, Angels are false phrophet...  like the men who were cured by Jesus said "do demons do good deeds? Do they proclaim the message of love unconditionally? If they do, then I'd rather follow them."\n\nHe said this himself to me>>>>lam_9@yahoo.com

Jesus DID say "whatever you ask for in my name, you will be given" and nowhere in the Bible did anyone ever speak (pray) to someone who was dead, Saint or otherwise. Jesus is not dead so we are as free to speak to Him as when He walked the earth... Mary and the Apostles all died, none rose from the dead so we cannot speak to them. Prayer is a form of worship and is restricted to God/Jesus

Was wondering if they are getting married or if she's just another girlfriend.

Sorry, but how would anyone know the answer except Prince William. My advice is to find his email address and go ask him.


my boyfriends ex girlfriend called and told me that he was supposed to go party with them and i called his cell phone time and time again no answer then out of the blue he calls and tells me hes been watching a movie with his friends and he didn't tell ex girlfriend anything about it what should i believe? i love him and i want to believe him but its hard when she calls telling me this!!

Sounds like a set up darlin!Even im getting paranoid thinking about it....i would say...ask him if he was going out with his ex tonight...yes/no. If answer is no..and it happens again(a similar senario,with his ex) tell him to f off.\n\nIn a nut shell....TRUST your instinct..you will know my dear.


Guys, this question is to you mostly...\nWhat would you like us women to know about you? :)\n\ni.e.:  What do you like/hate about how women act/behave/react, etc.? Is there anything you'd like us to be aware of and/or something to remember in order to know how to be with you/even how to please you?\n\nI guess, what I'm trying to say is... What makes you happy/sad/angry/upset, etc.?\n\nWould you please share with us so that way we'll know a little bit more about the people who make our hearts go pitter-patter and make us smile at the mere thought of you? :)\n\nPlease explain your answers as to why/how/when, etc. :)

Your question sounds like you REALLY want to get into a man's head on how he thinks...  Refreshing!!\n\nAnyway, I can only answer for myself, so here it goes:\n\nFor me, physical beauty is great, but without having the ability to hold a conversation, I don't have time for her.  Think about it this way, if I am on a date and we decide to get intimate, that is fine.  But what happens after that????  If she cannot stimulate me mentally as well, the relationship will not last.  I need someone who can THINK as well as look good.  \n\nHere are some of the things that make ME happy:  If she wants to give me a deep passionate kiss right out in the open (like outside on the street) just because she wants to (by the way, I have done this myself in my past relationships -- I have had NO COMPLAINTS)....That would be nice!  \n\nThings that make me sad or angry would probably be if she disrespected me in any way.  Personally, I try not to do that, but I am not perfect.  There is a difference between doing something accidentally vs. a deliberate act.  If it is proven to be deliberate -- don't expect me to be around for much longer.  I will not stand for it.  \n\nI would like any woman who I have a relationship with to be a lady in public, but be a WOMAN in private.  \n\nI hope this clarifies somewhat your questions, if you want more information, just e-mail me.


im 29  no kids and care alot about her..would it be reallly unethical if i did let her get drunk here and there...as long as i kept an eye on her??

I wouldn't do it.  When I was her age I had a lot of older friends who bought alcohol for me and it just allowed me a lot more opportunities to drink than I would have had otherwise.  Also, my husband had a brother who was about 6 years older than he was and same thing, he had access to lots of stuff he should not have been doing.  I would understand if it was JUST your sister and you gave her a simple girlie drink while you were watching a movie or something, just one, but definately not her friend.  You never know how it could effect her, what if she did something stupid or had a bad reaction or even told another friend who told her parents who told the girl's parents.. you could go to jail or be sued.. not worth it in this day and age.  You don't have to appear cool to 14 year olds.. with that age difference you are more of an adult role model.  Good luck, I'm sure it is tough.. but definately not the friend!


before going in sync again?  I can even hear it take place in music when it speeds up slightly before slowing down a little.

Ok... i'm gonna break up with my boyfriend cuz he's like always at work and we don't get to see each other that much, i feel like i've lost those feelings i had for him b-4, and i just feel liks since we've been together i've lost a bit of my conection with God in my spiritual life cuz i've been buisy with other things and not God or my boyfriend and i feel like i just need some time to grow back with God. \n\nHow can i tell him that without being rude, mean or seem like a hoe???

He's probably working all the time for you and your future together...and now you want to end it.\nSound like you're a good christian to me.(sarcasm)

if you know one for just dermatology, that would be great. if you could also go to my page and look at my question about the skin rash and answer it if you know what it could be, that would be great.

in heavy nuclie number of neutrons is more than number of protons,why?

in heavy nuclei,the number of protons is very large.so the long ranged electrostatic force will be very large.to contain the nucleons inside the nucleus the only attractive force is nuclear force.but it is a short range force and acts b/w near by particles only.a nucleus will be stable if the nuclear force is more than the electrostatic repulsive force.hence no: of neutrons in heavier nuclei are usually more than no: of protons.


I also notice when I lay down sometimes I can't breath and sometimes I wake myself up screaming. Is this serious or should I ignore it or is it all in my head.

This sounds pretty serious!  You could have any number of things, but, two things come immediatelty to mind--ERD esophageal relux disorder which means the stomach acid is filling your esophagus; and Hiatal hernia which means part of your stomach has slipped through the diaphragm causing you to regurgitate acid.  If you choke and get some of this acid into your lungs you could develop pneumonia.\nMake an appointment to see your doctor right away.  And while you are waiting to see him, elevate the head of your bed w/ some bricks or books; or sleep w/ several pillows so you are not flat!\nGood luck!


I chanced to see a resolved question in which people mostly said that everybody masturbates, even while at work or workplace. I wonder what exactly is the definition of masturbation! Is simple rubbing of the genitel organ enough to bring you in this category or you have to have it climaxed to say you've masturbated?? Its a serious question, so would expect serious answers.

Yes just rubbing would be masturbating, you do not have to climax... You ever hear of little boys play with them self's while in the tub...You know when they are really little, they just find it and they play with it...it could become erect and yes this would be masturbation. I hope this helps.


There is a difference in what communism is in theory and the way it is actually practiced.  I don't think communism is too bad.  I actually think that communism is great in theory but it isn't really practiced correctly.

Communism is just dictatorship by another name.\n\nUnder the communist system you only require one political party - a party of the people, as every one is equal and therefore the is no requirement for additional parties.\n\nThe old USSR was closer to the true communist system than many people imagined.\n\nEven Karl Marx, regarded as the founder of socialism, did not see communism as being right for the people. He called it a form of State Capitalism, whereby the ruling dictact had absolute control, thereby denying the proletariat (the ordinary people) a say in running the country.


Ok, well... if I were a different person and I saw myself, I don't really think I would like myself.\n\nI would think that I was too loud, outspoken and weird. E\nEvery person who reminds me of myself I DON'T LIKE.\nI want to yell at them "You're not cool, shut up!"\n\nIs that normal?\nShould I try to change myself, or should I stay the way that I am?\nIs this just a 'phase'?\n\nThanks.

It is very normal as a teenager not to like yourself. So many things are changing both within your body and life that it would be strange not to have such feelings.\n\nTake care of yourself and try to accept the things about yourself that you don't like. With me it was being shy and my nose. I am still shy and I have not had a nose job but I finally accepted that these things are only a problem if I let them be.\n\nThings will change again and you will see them differently. Good luck for the future from a very old Teenager!!!!!!

I have an intel 810e mother board, i would like to know whether the board support USB devices

One way to find out is to look on intel's site for your board, the easier way is to see if it has a USB port on the port section of the board.  Another way is to see if it has a USB connection on the top of the board inside the computer.  If it is an older machine, it may not support it.  Also, make sure you're running newer than Windows 98 because before then, the base installation did not have USB software support.

We are at present staying in Bahrain.I cannot get much help from the school.I just want to help my daughter to make her feel maths id not difficult.She has writing problem also, does not write clearly, teacher says that she answers orally very nicely but writing is not in straight line, legible)etc that is the reason she is loosing marks, Kindly help me.

Hello :) I have a Master's Degree in Speech Language Pathology and have worked with dyslexic children. You are right. You need to find a Speech pathologist or someone in Special Education to give your daughter sessions. It will help her alot. But, from now till you find her a specialist, here are some things you can do to help improve her reading and writing: \nThe reason why dyslexic children have a problem is because they did not develop something we call 'phonological awareness'. We can spell, because we can differentiate individual sounds auditorily; whereas they can't. Begin with ONE SYLLABLE words such as 'pen' or 'bin' for example and don't write them down. Just face her and say the word, then ask her what the first SOUND is? Then the second SOUND...and finally the third SOUND. Say the word slowly more than once and MAKE her say them out loud as well while she's figuring it out. Mind you, I say 'sound' and not 'letter'. Do this often until you move her from one syallable words to multisyllabic words SLOWLY and only when you know that she's 'got it'. It is imperative that you are 'consistent' in these exercises with her. Make a game out of it. This should help her immensely in time. \nIn relation to math; and specifically small and big numbers. You need to teach her about 'quantities'. Dyslexics have problems with deciphering SYMBOLS and not in understanding concepts. You just need to chose a different way of getting the information across to them. Get one small pouch / sac and another bigger pouch / sac. Put just a few marbles in the small one and ALOT of marbles in the bigger pouch. Ask her to hold them and tell you which one is heavier and explain that the bigger one is heavier cuz it contained MORE marbles. After that, physically count the marbles by getting them out one by one and putting them in two bowls so that she has a visual representation of the difference in 'quantity'.\nFinally, I hope this helps until you find a specialist. A good specialist will teach you (the parents) on how to address all these issues with your daughter along her school years and will know what 'ways' to use to get 'concepts' across to her. Just be patient with your girl and know that she is very bright; just sees things differently than others. \nAlso, I have met speech therapists from Bahrain in conventions, but unfortunately I don't have their contacts. I am sure there are centers there you can go to; maybe even the school can direct you to one. Good luck hun :)


This is the tilte of the course I am looking at ...\nASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE IN\nCOMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS

I attended Kaplan on line for almost two years. I really had a problem with how unorganized the school was. I also did not like how you dealt with a new adviser each term. Other then that I found the school layout easy to get around and I took my degree in criminal Justice then transferred. Good luck


TVcentral.org is a scam website. You can get the episodes FREE. That TVcentral.org is NOT legal and neither are peer-to-peer downloads but at least they are FREE.\nYou want tonight's episode of 24? \nThen download bittorrent http://bittorrent.com/ and then go to this link and download the appropriate episode http://isohunt.com/torrents.php?ihq=24&ext=&op=and


I read in islamic history that theer were two men who had a dispute over some finanical issue and they went to prophet Muhammed to seek an arbitrary decision. When prophet Muhammed made a decision, one of those men did not like it and asked to appeal it; therefore they went to Omar kattab and told him the story. What Omar did was that he KILLED the man who was trying to appeal the prophet's decision.\n\nMany muslims know that story and this is the reason Omar kattab was called "Farouk", which means "the man who distinguished between what is right and what is wrong".\n\nMy question is: \n\n(1) The history told that teh dispute was purely over a financial issue. And It is their right to appeal a decision if they did not like it. \n\n(2) Neither of parties in teh dispute was muslim; an d therefore it was their right not to believe that a decision made by prophet Muhammed was a holy one that should not be disputed.

Do you really think your affecting anyones opinions on islam?


what are some possibilities and solutions to these? Many thanks!

possibly.. they may tend to use up your cpu once in awhile, evidently leading to crashes.. so far, i've got no problems with my torrent program but the thing that i often use to download files more quicker would be this p2p network, "limewire." it's really good.. you oughta try it for your self. i had the pro version. and dang does it work wonders not only in terms of fast searches but in superb sources...


He was a talent. It should have been Paris.

Did he?  GREAT!!!!  We're on the West Coast, so it doesn't start for a couple more hours.  The guys suck.  The 2 girls are the only 2 contestants who can really sing.  Those guys would never make it in the music bizness...they're very weak singers and they have no stage presence.  They're even worse than Bo Bice and he was terrrrible!  This show has gone wayyyy downhill.  I think Fantasia is the only truly talented contestant they EVER had.  Bring on "Star Search", a much better show!\n\nOops I just read the other posts.  Dammit, she has so much more talent than those 3 tonedeaf amateurs.  I guess now Kathryn's a shoo-in.  Put your money on her!


I did heavy house chores yesterday and I really get tired and today theres a lump on the place where my tooth extracted. I'm relly worried. Is that only normal?

I am a dentist.\n\nIt depends.  The answer is likely, "no, don't be worried".\n\nSome idiot above me said you need antibiotics, but is probably oblivious of the fact that infections typically don't develop until 4 to 5 days after the surgery.\n\nThe lump could be a lot of things.  It could be simply swelling.  It could be a small hematoma.  It could be granulation tissue building up.  It's hard to say.  See your dentist to have it evaluated.


is there a website that can measure this exactly without doing the nearest city to the border?

There are no online resources that will give you distances from city center/boundary to it's state border.\n\nIf you know (or can compute) the Latitude and longitude of your start point and the point on the border you want a distance to, then you can use math to interpolate or use this site:\nhttp://www.indo.com/distance/\nto compute the straight line distance between them.


Now a days, in India we generally hear the term "Greenfield Project" whenever we hear a news regarding setting up of a new industrial undertaking. \nCan anybody help me to understand the real meaning of the same? \nIt will be a great help for me.\nThanks.

greenfield is a new project.\nBrownfield is an upgrade or change to an existing project.


My talent show today and I'm sining in front of more than a hundred people today by myself.. FOR THE FIRST TIME!\nI'm so scared.\nHow do I get rid of my nerves?

Honey?  Been there.  Done that.  When you are up on stage, at your rehearsal, you will (not) see that the stage lights will blind you to the point where you won't be able to really see the audience.  As far as the jitters go?  I can't help you with that because I shook like a leaf and it actually helped me and gave me the vibrato my voice needed to pull it off.  You are so kool.  Good luck honey.  Break a leg!  LOL!


Schools will not report this information, but should they be forced to do so since they are paid federal dollars based on the number of seats being filled (conflict of interest)?  Do you believe that providing education to the children of illegal immigrants at the cost of billions of dollars is what the founding fathers had in mind and something which they would have approved of?

Yes, because the children are American citizens.


they want to colonize everywhere else in the world, I assume this is next on their agenda!


i need to make automatic bell ,\nthe input is code of the product  and the amount of the product \nand  ms-access get the name of the product and it's price \nand make the caculations\nthis application uses report or query?

Queries:\nQueries are a fundamental means of accessing and displaying data from tables. Queries can access a single table or multiple tables. Examples of queries for our bank database might include: \n\nWhich Customers live in Georgia ? \nWhich Accounts have less than a $500 balance ? \n\n\nReports:\nReports are similar to queries in that they retrieve data from one or more tables and display the records. Unlike queries, however, reports add formatting to the output including fonts, colors, backgrounds and other features. Reports are often printed out on paper rather than just viewed on the screen. In this section, we cover how to create simple reports using the Report wizard.

What is the Visual Basic code for rounding numbers down from a decimal number. E.X. 1.2 rounds to 1 and 1.9 rounds to 1 and 4.78 rounds to 4.

I tried this in Visual Basic 2005 / .NET 2.0.  Assuming you are running a reasonably up-to-date version of VB, the functions are ...\n\nTo always round DOWN:\n\nMath.Floor(x)\n\nand to always round UP (as requested):\n\nMath.Ceiling(x)\n\nwhere x is a Double or Decimal.  The documentation below gives more details.


i was running windows xp home edition with intel celeron processor 2.5 hard drive 40g 3d intel extreme graphic card agp and 256mg of ddr memory i already check for loose cables but they are ok my power supply i think its good because i put it on another computer and it worked and by the way when i press the on-off button the tic-tic  inside my computer goes faster any ideas guys please give me a hand "big" please.

My best guess is a dead hard drive.  Does the computer make it past the Post (power on self test) screen.  Does it attempt to load Windows, does the clicking start with HD access or does it start as soon as you turn the PC on.  Is anything displayed on the screen at all... until the clicking starts.  If your computer makes it past Post then I'm going with my initial gut feeling that your hard drive died on you.\n\nOf course, I've never had a motherboard short out on me so I have no idea what that would sound like... but it could be, I couldn't say.  Once again, this is one of these catch all problems where just about anything mechanical or electronic could be causing the noise.\n\nWell, since nothing works, this is going to be hard to diagnose.  Best guess is still a hard drive but now I'm going to toss in the processor, memory, GPU and well, any other hardware in your system.  Start removing components one by one and see what happens, save for the processor, I've never tried to boot a system without a processor but my guess is nothing will happen.  If that doesn't work, you're right back at square one.  Here's an idea, take your hard drive out, plug it into another computer as a slave and see if it at least works, don't do anything to it, just see if it is recognized, if it is, not the hard drive.  If you can rule out the hard drive you are looking at a dead motherboard and/or processor which will have to be replaced at least.  If the motherboard is fried, you'll have to check the other components to see what is good and what is not.


Ok I have not smoked weed in about a month and 1/2. I am going to be starting a new job soon and my problym is that they will be doing a hair drug test after my probation period. That is either 3 or 6 months. I would like to hear from the people that have used some kind of product that takes the thc out of your hair. Im not interested in using bleach, dying, or shaving my hair. I dont care about stupid comments on how i shouldnt have been smoking weed. I just need to hear from those who have passed a hair test.

I did a google search on "hair follicle drug test"  and found lots of sites.  One of them said - "A standard hair follicle screen covers a period of approximately 90 days".  So four months after your last smoke you should be ok.  Here's one site: \n\nhttp://www.ipassedmydrugtest.com/hair_drug_test_FAQ.asp\n\nGood luck man.


Hi,\n\nI have recently been meditating with the Tibetan chants CD--it's very beautiful.\n\nHave any of you had personal expeiences with prayer/meditation in this form? Sincere replies only, please.\n\nThank you

I would like to know the type of patches and their placement on the jacket.

Call or visit the nearest USAF Recruiting Office for help.  I'm sure they like us Army types will be more than happy to assist.

It's against the law to do that.  Admiring the jacket and wanting to be accurate however, is great!!  I wish you the best of luck.  LTC M, USA, RET


When a university says "it is not an official listing of degrees conferred" does that mean some graduates have elected not to participate in the commencement program? Just curious.

It does mean that some students who have earned degrees may not appear on the list, but it also means that in some cases, students who are on the list have not yet received their final grades, which means that some of them could still flunk out and not receive their degrees.\n\nThe reason the university adds this disclaimer to a list of graduates (on a printed program or online) is so that a person could not attempt to use that list with his or her name on it as proof that s/he received her degree.

This phenomenon affects both my father and I a great deal.  We sometimes race each other to see who will sneeze first if we leave the house at the same time.  (Could it be hereditary?)  Oddly enough, it doesn't affect my mom at all.  What causes this to happen at all, and why in some people, but not others?

A search of the Internet yields a lot of sites that basically say that it's a known phenomenon, but science hasn't figured out why.\n\nThere is speculation that the optic nerve gets overloaded by the bright light and "leaks" onto the nerves that trigger sneezing.


i mean this is fun and all but would we exchange this for the company of friends and loved ones? go out there you guys, maybe we can party or something. who wants to party with me?

The Internet is an imaginary place where we meet real people. No need to lessen it with a sense of guilt.


Prove that correlation coefficient between two independent random variables is zero.  Is the converse true? Justify

The correlation coefficient of X and Y is equal to\ncov(X,Y)/[sqrt(V(X))sqrt(V(Y))]\nIf X and Y are independent, then cov(X,Y) = 0.\nThus, the correlation coefficient is 0.\nDo you need to show that "If X and Y are independent, then cov(X,Y) = 0?"\nThat is not too difficult to show.\nIf X and Y are independent, then you know that \nE(XY) = E(X)E(Y)\nNow Cov(X,Y) = E(XY) - E(X)E(Y)\nThis equals 0 since E(XY) = E(X)E(Y)


As a new Catholic, I am curious about the names of parishes. Mine is Our Lady of the Assumption. Are there any other churches with the same name?

There are 2 questions here. Let me answer you first question. Catholics are not worshiping Our Lady. She is one of the most respected human being for Catholics. There is a big difference between "worshiping" and "respecting". Infact christains should not worship anyone other than Jesus. She works as a medium between Jesus and us.\n\nSecond Question answer: There are many in the world with same name.

No way to find their address. But police can do that by tracing their IP address from which they sent that e-mail. You can use some softwares like "Visual route" to find out their location (Location of sender's ISP) by analyzing e-mail address. But usually that ISP won't give u their home/office address (if u request) for privacy policy. But ISP bound to give it to police.

I can't beleive anyone today . They all are in bed with someone or somwthing . Who out there is really for our country and it's people and not for their pocketbooks ?

Sorry to say an honest man could not make it in.\nThe way we run campaigns does that-they are support by big time money(lobbyist-Oil-Pharmaceutical-AMA-ect). If we allowed only TV coverage-equal amounts paid by taxes-than favors would not be owed before they get in. Now it is money who gets them in and keeps them in. They support those who will not step on their toes and follow their lead on issues-or they cut them off and pay to have them humiliated. Sad but true. An honest man could not compete (we can't compete with their money) against this corruption. The media too is paid for. I wish an honest man could-but at this time not possible.\n\nAnd who ever said Hillary-please she has been in more scandals (not counting Bill's) than I could number. No not proved-but where there is "a ""lot" of smoke -there is fire. All were Greed related. Good thing she had money-to defend herself. You better get informed-plenty on Web-try it.

If your a non believer, or you don't believe in God why would this section be so an interesting to you?

Because sometimes to ask a question you have to have both sides of the story. Its not much use to you if you only value the opinions of the Christians and dont take into account those of other religions or non-believers. You may not agree with us, many dont but still there are 2 sides to every coin.  \n\nFor me, its becasue I want to understand your opinions and learn about other peoples faiths. Im living in a country which is multi cultural and I dont think it would be very prudent of me to make assumptions on other peoples faith or culture without first learning or understanding it. Im here to give (or at least try to) an answer to a question and an opinion that would not offend but to provoke thought without trying to convince you that your are wrong. Who knows maybe you are right that there is a God or maybe Im right that there isnt, regardless learning is the key.


Why should you care if you don't have anything to hide? right? Unless you're a terrorist, they won't bother you...\n\nThis seems to be the excuse for everything the government does...


i have 5 books in my stock next day i sell 2 books on third day i buy 10 books so my stock 5+10. what i want to do in excell in particular cell sold boooks 2 no's subtracted from 5 and the new books 10 no's to be add with balance 5. then the subtracted no of books to be multiplyed by the rate of the book for ex : book name(a) price(b) stock(c)sold out  the formula should come in the sold out cell. whenever i fill another book it should be calculated automatically

Type "=B1-C1+D1*A1" without the quotes inside another cell such as E1.  This is assuming that your equation is the correct algebraic form and solved for one variable.  Your text is a bit jumbled so I didn't parse all of it.


I hope this makes sense. I have found this store that sells clothes at really cheap prices. But their sizes only go up to a 14. I know I cant fit into a 14, I am a 18. Does anyone know the average wieght of a 5'3 size 14? I am tring to set a weight loss goal so I can at least shop at this store for starters.

As a rule you should be 100lb for the first 5  feet and 5 lb per inch for each inch which makes it 115 lb. However for a size 14 probably about 135 or 140.


I think that this link is so funny! it makes me smile even when I'm having a bad day!! so check it out and post your comments! oh you need sound because it is funnier with it!!


Consider the reaction  A + B <----> AB , the rection is Reversible. Now , A and B float on water and AB sinks in water. \n\nConsider a cubical system in which I put both the reactants.\nAssume that the necessary conditions are provided in the system.\nNow , I place the system on water . The necessary conditions are provided . \nSlowly , A and B combine , forming AB , and a dynamic state of equilibrium is attained.\nWill the system Sink / float or levitate in the middle?

I believe that at equilbrium, you would have a gradient of concentration throughout the liquid from top to bottom.  At the top, you would have primarily A and B reacting.  At the bottom, you would have primariliy AB dissassociating.  In between, you would have various degrees of A, B and AB as A and B rise up from below and AB falls from above.  The magnitude of the gradient would depend on the reaction rate.

For the following planets: Mars,Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus,Neptune,Pluto

Mercury: Gray\nVenus: Bright white\nEarth: You have seen the pictures. Mostly blue with lots of white spots and swirls and maybe some green and tan for the land.\nMars: Pale salmon color.\nJupiter: White with horizontal brown bands.\nSaturn: Honey color\nUranus: Light blue\nNeptune : Darker blue.\nYou can see the pictures I have taken of these planets at the source below. I have tried to make the colors match, as closely as possible, what I really see in the eyepiece of the telescope, except for Mars which just looks too plain without enhancing the colors. For Mars, be sure to click on the "Click here to see more Mars images." link and see the one truly natural color picture about half way down the page.

They were seen by many viewers in the past, w/o anyone having a definitive answer for "what they were".\n\nI'm curious myself.

The Marfa Lights are named for their location near the town of Marfa, Texas. Marfa is a small ranching community on a Chihuahuan Desert plateau in the Trans-Pecos area of west Texas. Supported mostly by ranching, and more recently by tourism, it is surrounded by vast mountains and is Texas' highest incorporated city. Marfa is known primarily for its famous Marfa Mystery Lights and as the location for the shooting of the classic movie "Giant," with Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, Dennis Hopper and James Dean. \n\nThe Ghost lights of Marfa still shine as bright as ever, and are still as mysterious as they were when they were first seen by early settlers who drove their herds into the Marfa area in 1883. \n\nWho can explain their source? Where are they actually located? How long have they been in existence? The mystery is no closer to being solved now than when they were first seen. \n\nRobert Ellison came to Marfa in 1883 and off-loaded his cattle in Alpine. He then drove the herd west and on the second night out, while camped just outside Paisano Pass, he saw strange lights in the distance. At first, it was feared that they were Apache signal fires. Mr. Ellison searched the countryside by horseback. He finally realized that the lights were not man-made. Other early settlers assured him that they too had seen the lights and had never been able to identify them. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe Marfa Lights are reported to be from 1-10 feet in diameter. They are spherical and reddish-orange in color. They have been observed to vary their size and fly at high speeds. Numerous photographs and video footage have captured these lights in action. Marfa Lights are generally considered harmless. They are even rumored to have helped a lost man during a blizzard by providing warmth and guiding him home. \n\nThe ghost lights appear in many different ways to different people. Some swear they have seen them divide to form separate balls of light. Others claim that they have seen them move up and down. All agree that they glow as softly as a star at times, then brighten to the intensity of a stoplight. Sometimes they pop off and on. As they fade they seem to be receding. There are verifiable accounts of people being pursued by the lights. \n\nScientists have made numerous attempts to put the mystery to rest. In 1947, Fritz Kahl, a local war veteran and pilot, chased the Lights in an airplane, but came up empty. In 1975, Kahl made another attempt, this time with a team that included observers in Jeeps and planes. The "Marfa Ghost Light Hunt," as it was called, featured "more than a hundred carloads of observers gathered between the two observation points, one at Paisano Pass and the other at the entrance to the old Presidio County Airport," according to the Sul Ross "Skyline" newspaper. The searchers, "utilizing aircraft, survey instruments, multi-band radio equipment and about a half-dozen search teams," were no more successful than Kahl had been in his solo search of '47, and the legend grew. \n\nSome believe that the lights are nothing more than high-powered lights from area ranches or the reflected headlights from nearby cars and trucks, but that doesn't explain why the Lights have been reported since before electricity or vehicles ever reached the Big Bend area. Nor does it explain why there have been reports of observers hearing a high-pitched, "tuning fork" noise in only one ear while watching the Lights. \n\nA Marfa lights viewing site has been provided for the public on Highway 90, by the Texas Highway department. It is located nine miles east of Marfa. Ghost light watchers can park in the area and scan the south-western horizon, looking toward Chinati Peak.

I got this isurance through my employer....\nMy co-pay is $20.00.\nMy effective date is 6-1-06.\n\nCan I go ahead and go to the doctor - I got my cards or do I have to wait until 6-1-06?\n\nIf I am going to the gynocologist for an annual exam - how much will this cost me? $20 or more?

As long as you have the cards you are OK, Because on the cards they can see your ID number and Group Number. Without the cards I doubt they will take you. That happened to me once, I had to pay $80.00 for the Gyn because I didn't have the cards even thought I was insured. The deductible for a Gynecologist is usually $20.00 dollars. There should be no problem. But if you have any questions, contact the Insurance carrier and ask them if you can use it now. That's what I did once I got my cards and it worked. \n\n\nGood Luck!

Does anyone know the name of the band and song of the Charmed theme song?

The theme song is Love Spit Love's "How Soon is Now" a cover of the original "How Soon is Now" by the Smiths. Interestingly enough, the singer of Love Spit Love is the voice of the Psychedelic Furs. You know, they sang that one song, "Pretty in Pink" back in the 1980's.

I looked up laser surgery and found tattoo removal cream that would be alot cheaper what should I do?

Sounds like you have quite a few tattoos going on. There are a few things to consider - how much area do your tattoos actually cover?\n\nA tattoo removal cream is not going to work. I'm not familiar with them from personal experience, but I would guess that the most they would do is slightly fade your tattoo...\n\nThe only option these days to rid yourself of a tattoo is laser surgery. Unfortunately it's expensive, extremely painful, and it's probably going to take several sessions to remove all of your tattoos. Since you have looked into it, I imagine you already know this...\n\nA good option would be to look into getting a cover-up. Find a good artist and talk to him/her and work with them on figuring out a newer design that you will possibly be happier with.\n\nI imagine you're aware of that as well...\n\nSo it looks like your only option is laser surgery.\n\nIt is truly unfortunate to hear your story, and know that there are other out there in your same position probably feeling the same way. :/\nBest of luck <3

with out looking the word up, give the definition of the word racist and then look it up and after that take a good long look in the mirror. this is assuming you are intellegent enough to do so.

Without looking it up, I would say that a racist is someone who discriminates based on race. Now let's look it up..... well after looking it up, appears I was right on the money.\n\nTo all the morons saying the poster is racist, I believe he is referring to people throwing the word racist around as a counterpoint to someones DIFFERENT opinion on the immigration issue... Why is that people cannot disagree without being a racist?


hey you guys should know me by now.\nso here's a real problem I have. we all have run into this before; we know someone who is a baby Christian. and then they stay that way. forever. they never seem to grow in their faith or get any more mature. and every time you see them, they're talking about the same old problems.\nnow I don't want to be boastful or prideful. and I don't want to come off as being "holier than them". so how do I interact with them?

First and fore most with Love & Grace. \n\ndo not forget that you yourself are still growing and learning.\n\nHunger is the key to illumination of God's Word. encourage your bro/sis build them up and live your faith as the best example. if & when the Spirit leads you to correct or instruct do it in love & with humilty.\n\nwe all have to careful not to grow weary in well doing. it is easy to see our bro/sis missing something but this is not what we are told to focus on.\n\nold school nugget: my grand father told me over and over if you have to preface what you say with  \n      I don't want to be ......\nyou probably are acting just that way.Rethink what your thinking.

Can anybody give me a short notes on ROM Devices?

ROM: Read Only Memory. Does exactly that; it can't write or erase data stored/burned on a disc.  \n\nThe vast volume of information, coupled by equally amazing fast speed of information retrivial quickly allowed the Compact Disc (CD) to phase out the cumbersome 5-inch floppy and the 'hard shell' 3 1/4 "square" disk drives.


Forget about the Da Vinci Code.There have been claims made long before that book was ever made that Jesus may have had a daughter and that the early church edited that bit of information out of it's text.So, and I ask this as hypothetical, could Jesus have had a child?And is it possible that the story of this conception was edited out.Again, HYPOTHETICALLY speaking....

Anything is possible.  We're talking about something that happened a long time ago.  The only thing we had left is what someone wrote down.  At some point in time anyone could delete/add anything.

i am so scared amd afraid to face my exams. It's killing me.How and what and what kind of positive thoughts am i supposed to pump into my brain at this moments? My exam is tomorrow and it's a major one to determine my future. I see my freinds are all so confident but some said their scared. Are they more prepared than me? AM i going to dissapoint my family? I just dont know what to do! I'm forgetting everything due to fear.please help me

take a deep breath and dive in.  answer the questions you know first and then go back over the rest.\n\nfor future reference, studying in the state of mind that you'll be in when taking the test helps (even if its a state of nervousness, believe it or not).  Also, if there's any way of studying in the room that you'll take the test in, this will help you as well.  The familiar surroundings will jog your memory.  If you cant do that, bring along a familiar pencil that you used to study with.  Stupid stuff like this actually works.


This gurl is so hott mann... I like her but i never see her with another guy, that it goin out wit him... She is so hot man and i never see her hold hands wit a boy or hang out wit them.. I only see her wit her friends... Shes not lesbian either... You think somethings wrong wit her? shes the nicest person i know... but why doesnt she have a boyfriend? and when guys do try to holla at her nothig goes down... what is the problem? Thas why im scared to ask her out..

It could something as simple as...if she is as hot as you say, all the guys think she is already dating some, so why waste their time asking her?


Strange sightings have been seen in the sky.  I normally don't look up all the time so I can't prove they are not out there.  I only can go by what other people claim they saw.  What did you see?

I've been out observing the sky many times as an amateur astronomer togehter with a lot of other ppl. We see many things in the sky, but none of them is hard to explain, especially not when you can look at them with good binoculars or telescopes.\n\nI classify ufo's to the other mass of "sightings" constructed by man or brain spawns... ie Yetis, Loch ness monsters, God, Leprechauns, Witches, Trolls, Unicorns, Dragons etc. Some of these things are perhaps funny to bring up today, but ppl have believed in them at one time or another.\n\nSo - in short - man is not a trustworthy witness. Eyes and brains are not the proof you need to establish an existance.

I've knowned him for 14 yrs and we have been friends w/privilages for 6 years and now i'm starting to have feelings for him. Should i tell him or should i just leave it as it is? When i try to tell him the words never come out. How would i go about it? i don't want things to change between us if he doesn't feel the same.

Just talking to him and tell him how you feel , tell him you don't want to lose what you have! Maybe he fills the same way but don't know how to tell you! You need to talk to him communication is a good thing. If you two have know each other for that long and have already had sex and off and on for 6 years then I bet he does have feelings too! Sound s like you two are a match!

imean COME ON! is it just to get attention?> to have ppl think ur cool? oppinions pliz

I don't know. For one thing, at that stage in life, their bodies are still developing, and a lot of people go through stages of having crushes on BOTH genders. However, at that age, it's not like they're actually going to DO anything, so I don't see why they bother proclaiming themselves as bi or gay.  I mean, they probably get a small crush on someone of the same sex, so they jump to the conclusion that they're gay. And since it's almost becoming kind of trendy to be gay, they openly declare it, to get attention or whatever.\n\nI think that until you've actually finished developing physically and emotionally, there's no point in declaring yourself homosexual since it could just be a phase.


I have sole physical custody and her dad and i have joint legal. My husband(daughters step dad) is wanting to join the army, but we arent sure if he was stationed in another country that my daughter would be allowed to move with us.My daughter lives with me and her step dad( my husband) and she has visitation with her real father during holidays and summer. I really need to know for sure about this. I dont want my daughter to have to live with her father and not me. She would be devastated!

You need to check with the court and your custody agreement. He could contest your moving out of the country, even out of state, assuming the two of you live in the same state. Look into this before you do anything. You may have to revise the agreement, or if he still has rights to your daughter, he could stop you from moving out of the U.S. Good luck!

trying to find $600.00 per month was very hard, fell well behind on payments 3mths ago I came to an arrangement to pay the interest only, was working well now they want the money paid out in full,meaning i have need to borrow more money to pay them out,this may cost a further thousands of $'s with set up cost and because i will have to change my morgage over .my credit rating is now shot to pieces i owe on taxes, any advice on how to get out of this mess will be very much appreciated

Is this with a bank? or an individual? \nUnfortunately, this is considered a "high risk" industry, and therefore, the bank will most likely decline any funding if your credit rating has deteriorated, and the net worth & net income of the company is not showing profits. \n\nYou need to talk to the person, and ask them, if there is some way you can discuss other options, than them demanding the loan in full? \n\nFailing this, you need to assess whether you should stay in the business, I know it is tough, but if you are having a hard time paying now, what will change significantly to make you pay later? \n\nThis, may be the toughest realization, but it is what you need to consider.  \nI am not sure what you signed as security for the loan, however, you may have some options, and I would approach your Bank to discuss what the options may be.  Worst case, is bankruptcy, but there is a lot of decisions and choices in between. \n\nGood luck to you.

You should realize rumors are just that...rumors.  Does it really matter what she may have done wrong.  I happen to love watching her act and listening to her sing.

As a former health educator, I have the privilege of letting you know that the two questions you tied together are separately the two most misunderstood aspects of health facing the general public.  But relax, the answers are fairly simple.\n\n  Question #2:  in general the more you live like a healthy young animal, the longer and more exhuberantly you will live like a healthy young animal.  Let me explain!\n\n  The University of California at Berkeley did a study in 1976 that has often been imitated but never bested.  They found, I think, a thousand old people that they considered to be healthy, energetic and mentally sharp.  Then they extracted seven behaviors that they discovered these people tended to share.  Not a surprise in the bunch . . .  When I worked at Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Kansas I created a little pamphlet about the "Seven Golden Rules of Health" and added "the eighth golden rule is to always buckle up when you drive or ride in an automobile,"  the special seven were:\n\n1. 7-8 hours sleep nightly\n2. eat a good breakfast every day\n3. maintain a normal weight\n4. eat 3-4 meals daily\n5. no tobacco or drugs\n6. light or no use use of alcohol\n7. regular vigorous exercise\n\n  This is only mildly interesting, but then UC Berkeley did a marvelous thing.  They took their seven golden rules and extrapolated them into the younger public over a very long study.  The result was powerful stuff!  A man of 55 who practiced 6-7 of the golden rules had the same actuarial age as a man of 20 who practiced only 0-1 of the rules.  In other words the two men might be expected to die on the same day!!!  From several separate studies, I can also respond to your "question #3" and say that unequivocably those oldsters who enjoy frequent sex always test out as more happy and healthy than those who get less or none.  OK, let's look at question #1, losing weight.\n\n  The main things you need to know are:  A.  Diets and diet foods don't work, and dieters tend to gain weight over time  B.  Eating healthy food and getting sufficient exercise is the key  C. Losing weight quickly tricks many people into making themselves very unhealthy (high protein- low carb diets in particular) by dehydration and loss of muscle mass). It is more important to get fit slowly and build muscle mass since each pound of muscle metabolizes six pounds of fat every year.  Lose weight by getting fit, looking better and building more muscles.\n\nA very recent study of successful weight losers came up with five main differences between those who lost a lot of weight and kept it off for over seven years; and those who failed to lose weight; and those lost but then regained it all back or more.  The successful weight losers did the following:   1.  Ate healthy:  more fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains/fewer heavily-processed foods; fewer calories; less fat  2.  Monitored their weight and waist at least once weekly  3.  Very physically active  and 4.  Ate a healthy breakfast every day  (typically whole grain cereals and a couple fruits like bananas and apples) 5.  The successful weight losers did NOT lose weight as fast as those who eventually failed to lose or as those who lost weight and then gained it back!!  Good luck, may you live ultra-long and prosper, you slender young animal, you!


Use the empirical rule to solve the problem.\nThe lifetimes of lightbulbs of a particular type are normally distributed with a mean of 380 hours and a standard deviation of 8 hours. What percentage of the bulbs have lifetimes that lie within 1 standard deviation to either side of the mean?

If you can't answer this, you have no idea what the empirical rule is.\n\nAbout 68% of all values fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean for the normal distribution.

The theory that Lyndon B. Johnson was involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy is among one of the top accepted theories. As Vice-President at the time of the assination Johnson had much to gain with the death of Kennedy. It was also under wide speculation during that time that Kennedy was planning to drop Johnson during the next election because he was a liability. Also, prior to Kennedy's death Johnson was the subject of four major criminal investigations involving government contract violations, misappropriation of funds, money laundering and bribery. All of these "disappeared" after November 22nd.


If someone who hasnt heard from you in awhile says Thought you might have dropped off the face of the earth or worse yet, got married!!! What is he trying to say? What does it mean?

I agree - sounds like he's interested.  I've had this experience more than once and it was what they meant.

Yes, there a conservative scientists as well.  Not surprising, there are also apolitical scientists that just want to focus on science.

Does anyone know hoe to calculate the aggregate from individual demand curves? Oh and how does price affect aggregate demand? If some body could help me out it would be great, Thanks all ^_^

Macro means large, Micro means small.\n\nIf you took the sum of every indivudual demand curves, you would have the aggregate.\n\nExample:  Person A would demand 5 units at $3.00 while Person B would demand only 4 units at $3.00.  The aggregate demand curve at $3.00 would then be 5 + 4 or 9.\n\nGenerally speaking, for normal goods, as the price rises, people demand less ... if the price were $4.00 in the above, then Person A might only demand 2 units and Person B may only demand 3 units.  Generally this reflects the opportunity cost of th next best alternative.  As you are required to spend more on one good, you can afford that much less of another ... so the trade off's become greater.


I have concerns about winter weather in Denver,  Just how much snow & sleet csn we expect...and for how long?  We're pretty progressive in our politics & our lives.  We're vegans heaing to a a state that appears to love its beef.\n\nAny feedback on my perceptions & concerns?  Your opinion will be a big help.

Hi,\n\nMy sis lives in Denver (transplant from NYC about 4yrs ago),\nshe absolutely loves it!  Btw, she's 100% vegetarian & has had no problems.  There are lots of of healthy, organic & veg places.  People are very friendly & always willing to\naccomodate in fancy restaurants.\n\nThe winters are milder than you think, it will snow but not\nblizzards like living in the snow belt (Rochester, Erie, Cleveland...).  I think the winters are far less severe due to global warming.\n\nShe lives in the Broomfield area which is nice.  It's got\nall sorts of infrastructure & is close to all the major highways.\n\nI think the biggest drawback of Denver is the altitude sickness if it affects you.  If you're on vacation out of Denver for more than 10 days, your body will need to readjust.  It's also a really dry city, wreaks havoc on \npeople with dry skin.  \n\nAnyway, hope this helps.


At the very beginning of the video for "Get where I'm goin" it shows a sunflower with the name Amy in it, do you know who Amy is?\nThe reason I ask is the first time I heard this song was two days after my 21 month old daughter passed away, my favorite flower is a sunflower and my name is Amy.

I don't know but it is kind of a beautiful concidence don't you think? I am so sorry for your loss.

I have the feeling that my Alltel DSL is blocking some ports for me to get into any Yahoo! chat room.  Yahoo! suggested I conctact Alltel to fix the problem but they say it is not them.  Plus, I don't know what ports to tell them to unblock and make them understand.  \n\nI am not very good with computer terminology so I could use some help on how to describe to Alltel DSL what should be done to unblock the ports.  \n\nI have tried other options to get into Yahoo! chat with no success including reloading Yahoo! Messenger and changing my firewall settings.  The DSL must be what is causing the problem but I need help on describing the problem to them so they understand and I understand.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

DSL is nothing more than a transport to the internet...it can't prevent you from accessing specific websites therefore AllTell would not be able to assist you in unblocking anything.  If I were you, I would attempt to use a different browser (Firefox, Netscape, etc) when trying to access this chat room.  Either that or your router itself (if you're connected to one) is set not to access certain sites which again, would be up to you to reconfigure.


Anybody who gives me the most detailed answer on what is going on in Dar 4 gets 10 points.

Darfur is the southern region of Sudan, inhabited by very poor farmers and villagers who are black Christians.  The government of Sudan is controlled by Arab Muslims, and they want the land, so they have sent militias, called Janjaweed, to massacre entire villages in Darfur.  The people of Darfur are faced with the choice of leaving their homes and risking starvation, or staying and risking the militias.  More than 100,000 people have been killed, and countries like the US and Europe, who have resources and could help them, have done very little.

This show is too funny it comes on on cartoon network at 11:30 pm right after the Boondocks on sundays on adult swim. Question...do you think this show should be on Comedy Central. I never watch Cartoon network and I know alot of people who don't either....you know whadda mean vern?

Yes, indeed. I watch the show.\n\nAs for the situation with Comedy Central. The network would have to go through the red tape at Cartoon Network before actually being able to air the show on the particular network. At the moment, it will strictly be a Cartoon Network Adult Swim exclusive until they note otherwise.

it is a bingo game needing to be called out\nbtnNumber is clicked one time and from then on the numbers (ex: b4, i89) needs to be called out automatically


2 science questions! please help!? \n1. what is red tide? i need a lot of info on this so please help!\n\n2.i need 3 examples of fungi!only one can be food! and how they affect people eather help or harm! i need a lot of info on this too!

RED TIDE:\nNot every plant poisoning is caused by a large, terrestrial plant. Several microscopic marine algae are notoriously poisonous to hapless humans who consume them in shellfish. \nThese Algae are tiny, single-celled plants that, like plants on land, capture and use the sun's energy to grow. The growth of algae is an essential life process, as it is the first step in transferring solar energy into aquatic food webs. The huge variety of marine algae are typically subject to annual cycles of growth & decay. These organisms thrive and multiply principally during the spring and summer, in response to increased light intensity and favourable levels of salinity & nutrients in ocean water. During the growth period, or bloom, each single algae cell may replicate itself one million times in two to three weeks.\n\nDuring the reproductive riot of the bloom, warm, shallow seawater tends to become discoloured by the sheer concentration of algae seeking the sunlight. This discolouration is a result of the various pigments the plants use to trap sunlight; depending on the species of algae present, the water may reflect pink, violet, orange, yellow, blue, green, brown, or red. Since red is the most common pigment, the phenomenon has come to be called Red Tide.\n\n\n2)DIVISIONS\nThe fungi kingdom is broken down into four phylums, the chytrids, zygote fungi, ascomycota, and basidium. The phylums are such:\n\nChytrids: Most scientifically inclined people assume that all the fungi were derived from an algal ancestor who lost its ability to photosynthesize. This then turned into to the flagellate fungi. A fungal ancestor then gave rise to the rest of the fungi, and usually this ancestor was assumed to be a member of the Chytridiomycota, a phylum which produced posteriorly, uniflagellated zoospores. The chytridomycota(chytrid) have the basic fungi key enzymes, cell walls made of chytin, and metabolic pathways that resemble the fungi's. They seem like the outcast of the fungi world, and are fungi because they are sort of like the rest of the fungi classes. \n\nZygote Fungi: Zygote fungi are terrestrial, which means they live only on land, usually on soil or decaying plants. One group of zygote fungi that live in the roots of plants is mycorrhizae. Another common zygote fungi is teh black bread mold, which absorb the bread's nutrients by spreading out on it, and extending hyphea in it. Zygote fungi have sporangia, which develop at the tips of hyphea. Haploid spores grow in the sporangium, and then are dispersed through the air. The reproduction will be talked about more extensivly in that section. Some zygote fungi can aim thier spores, and the picture on the left shows the spore being thrown by its sporangium at grass. \n\nAscomycota: Otherwise known as sac fungi, they can be aqueous, as well as terrestrial. The features that are importaint about this division is that they produce sexual spores in saclike asci. They reproduce asexually and disperse spores in the wind. They have a very long dikaryotic stage, in which they deveilop asci. \n\nBasidium: These are also known as club fungi, which have club-like tops. Typical mushrooms are an example of the club-like reproductive site. They decompose wood, and other plant material. The basidium have fruiting bodys called basidiocarps, which are the source of sexual spores. They sometimes attract flies
