Did the peopl lose their jobs becuase the buisnesses had to close down? Or was it because of something else?

The Great Depression was an economic slump in North America, Europe, and other industrialized areas of the world that began in 1929 and lasted until about 1939. It was the longest and most severe depression ever experienced by the industrialized Western world.\n\nThough the U.S. economy had gone into depression six months earlier, the Great Depression may be said to have begun with a catastrophic collapse of stock-market prices on the New York Stock Exchange in October 1929. During the next three years stock prices in the United States continued to fall, until by late 1932 they had dropped to only about 20 percent of their value in 1929. Besides ruining many thousands of individual investors, this precipitous decline in the value of assets greatly strained banks and other financial institutions, particularly those holding stocks in their portfolios. Many banks were consequently forced into insolvency; by 1933, 11,000 of the United States' 25,000 banks had failed. The failure of so many banks, combined with a general and nationwide loss of confidence in the economy, led to much-reduced levels of spending and demand and hence of production, thus aggravating the downward spiral. The result was drastically falling output and drastically rising unemployment; by 1932, U.S. manufacturing output had fallen to 54 percent of its 1929 level, and unemployment had risen to between 12 and 15 million workers, or 25-30 percent of the work force.\n\nThe Great Depression began in the United States but quickly turned into a worldwide economic slump owing to the special and intimate relationships that had been forged between the United States and European economies after World War I. The United States had emerged from the war as the major creditor and financier of postwar Europe, whose national economies had been greatly weakened by the war itself, by war debts, and, in the case of Germany and other defeated nations, by the need to pay war reparations. So once the American economy slumped and the flow of American investment credits to Europe dried up, prosperity tended to collapse there as well. The Depression hit hardest those nations that were most deeply indebted to the United States, i.e., Germany and Great Britain. In Germany, unemployment rose sharply beginning in late 1929, and by early 1932 it had reached 6 million workers, or 25 percent of the work force. Britain was less severely affected, but its industrial and export sectors remained seriously depressed until World War II. Many other countries had been affected by the slump by 1931.\n\nAlmost all nations sought to protect their domestic production by imposing tariffs, raising existing ones, and setting quotas on foreign imports. The effect of these restrictive measures was to greatly reduce the volume of international trade: by 1932 the total value of world trade had fallen by more than half as country after country took measures against the importation of foreign goods.\n\nThe Great Depression had important consequences in the political sphere. In the United States, economic distress led to the election of the Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt to the presidency in late 1932. Roosevelt introduced a number of major changes in the structure of the American economy, using increased government regulation and massive public-works projects to promote a recovery. But despite this active intervention, mass unemployment and economic stagnation continued, though on a somewhat reduced scale, with about 15 percent of the work force still unemployed in 1939 at the outbreak of World War II. After that, unemployment dropped rapidly as American factories were flooded with orders from overseas for armaments and munitions. The depression ended completely soon after the United States' entry into World War II in 1941. In Europe, the Great Depression strengthened extremist forces and lowered the prestige of liberal democracy. In Germany, economic distress directly contributed to Adolf Hitler's ri

My husband works 40 hours a week.  I do home daycare and take care of our 6 children.  Every weekend he goes fishing all day while I sit at home with the kids.  Do I have a right to be mad?

Yes you have a right to be mad, there as much his kids as they are yours. You not only take care of them all day, but then on the weekend also, by your self, and if he's like most men, you take care of them mostly by yourself at night. I know right where you are. My suggestion is you take next weekend to yourself, doing what you want to do. This way he knows what you are doing all day every day. Then after that you should swap on and off on weekends, or you get one day on the weekend and he gets the other. If you think about it your actually doing two full time jobs, your daycare, and your kids. Also I would try to have him share in the responsibility at night, you need a break, it will be good for you, and in return you will be more relaxed and able to deal with the kids better.\nbest of luck I hope it works out.


I had bulimia for over a year and I haven't thrown up in over a month now I never want to go back to that again. However I can't control my eating sometimes I'll motivate myself and eat so good for 4 or 5 days and then I'll binge out of control. It's depressing and I've tried literally everything. I've bought books on nutrition, gone to weight watchers but I can't stay on a diet long enough. I also compulsively exercise..\n\nThis has been going on for over a year and I feel so lost and hopeless, I don't know what to do, I hate my body and feel unfufilled. If anyone can relate and has kicked their habit please help me I'm desperate!

My best friend had this promblem too. Me and some of her friends helped her out threw it. when she ate she went to the bathroom(u should knows what happends) we would go with her to make shur she didnt do anything. we also made shur that she ate too. it took us about 2 months to get her threw it now she looks a LOT better now then when she did. i also told her from throwing up the acided would damage her throut and her voice box. she loved to sing and she wants to become a singer. so i told her she kept going she could never become a singer. yes i know i sounded mean but it worked tho!!yay!!\ni hope you get better and find someone to talk to about this. just find someone to help you and dont be afired to ask for help.!!!


what if they don't even mention the money to you when you see them? do you bring it up or get annoyed and stop talking to them after a while?

You gently remind them. If they make an excuse to not pay you then and there, get them to commit to a date (I'll have it all for you next Friday) or a payment plan (I'll pay you $10 every Monday). \n\nIf your 'friend' still evadess his/her responsibility, just banish this person from your life. $100 or so is CHEAP to get a person like this out of your life forever and ever.\n\nNext time you loan a friend money, get something for collateral. That way, if there is some reason your friend can't pay you back, you can sell the item and get your money that way. So no matter what happens, the two of you can still be friends. If your friend both intends to repay you and values your friendship, your friend will readily see the wisom of this plan.\n\nWhen you loan money to a friend without getting collateral, you often lose both your money and your friend.

I am a 27 year old male, and I had severe acne starting age age 15. Facial acne isn't really too bad, but I have very consistent cystic acne on my neck, back, ass, thighs, and chest. For accutane users, what has your post-accutane experience been like? I am sure that it cures acne while you are on it, but I don't want to go through the hassle of the treatment program if within 6 months it was like I was never on it. Also, any tips on dealing with it?

I used accutane in my late teens. My suggestion "Don't use it" Although it did clear my skin it gave me mood swings and became depressed and anti-social. When I recently asked a doctor what he thought he best put it by saying "its like killing a fly on the wall with a gun, you get the job done but leave a bigger problem behind". If you do decide to take it be sure it doesn't interfere with your daily life. Ask your friends if they notice a change in your behavior, if they see you're drawn away from them stop taking it. Be safe and good luck.

i went to the gym with a friend and saw a cute guy.\nhe winked at me and i thought "Wow HE winked at ME"\n..."ME!" i mean he was so hot. anyway i got on the tred, and one more thing my pants were a little big, and started running kind of slow then the cute guy gets on the tred next to me and smiles at me. so then i was going to impress him so i started to go faster all of the sudden i noticed that i was running on level 10 and was running really fast! Suddenly i trip on my pants fall off the tred and now my pants are hanging off my butt with my underwear!!!  the whole gym was starring at me. my friend helped me up and belive me i never went back to that place again\n\nHOW Embarrassing!!


it is the 6 hits in one game card its the first card of 1500

I have to admit to not knowing a lot about baseball cards but the best way to find out how much things are worth is to find how much others are selling for.  Check froogle for your exact card, and possibly ebay as well.\n\n(I did a rough search and came up with a lot of different nolan ryan cards for sale from $2.oo to $450 ! http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=nolan+ryan+baseball+card&btnG=Search  )


I know the episode was a dream or hallucination, but the show is  usually medically correct.  Was the part about internal pressure from bleeding backing up behind the eye which eventually causing the eye to pop out of its socket, true.  It was difficult to watch and quite frightening if this is medically true.

You are freaking me out! I didn't see that particular episode, but the show IS usually medically accurate, so I assume that this can really happen.\nHowever, it is probably extremely rare.

Does she still have the right to be buried in the same grave as my father even though she has remarried.  The family does not want her to be buried with him.

Dear Friend,\n\nThis is essentially two questions -- one sounding in contract and one sounding in real estate.  \n\nFirst, at or before the time your father was buried, there should have been an agreement made with the cemetary as to how the grave would be kept.  Who made that agreement with the cemetary?  What did it say about your stepmother?\n\nSecond, who owns the plot?  If your family owns it/bought it/ paid for it, their word is final.  If not, not.\n\nTalk to the cemetary about who gets to make this decision.\n\nYours in Him,\nFrancesois

It can be from the 104th Congress (~1995) to the present. I am ready to do the work I just need some good ideas to start with. I have to discuss the journey of the bill, legislative strategy employed, and analyze the final vote while identifying both the patterns of oppostion and support the bill. If you just have a controversial bill great, if you have the number/name of the bill even better...I am taking suggestions!

How about:\nUSA PATRIOT Act, that was certainly controversial.\nH. R. 3162\n\nhttp://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c107:H.R.3162.ENR:\n\nFor research tips:\n\nTHE BEST WAY to research legislative history is to go the Library of Congress. They keep the record of ALL hearings on the bill(both committee and floor) and any statements made by congressmen and any other people that Congress has questioned regarding the bill etc etc etc.\n\nThe website given by previous answerer will help:\nIt is the website of the library of congress:\n\nhttp://thomas.loc.gov\n\nI would also suggest reading this site(it is very helpful):\nhttp://www.llsdc.org/sourcebook/fed-leg-hist.htm\n\nSome trivia:\nSupreme Court Justice Scalia hates legislative history, and considers it not useful.\nHe once was quoted to say something to the tone of:\n"I had to exile my clerk to the dungeon to dig through useless pile of legislative junk"\nSo you are not alone in being frustrated with legislative history.\n\nP.S. I hope you are paid for this thankless task.

i've got evidence that the mother has cut herself over 100 times, tried to kill herself 2x, hasn't let me see my daughter, lied in court reguarding letting me see my daughter, and had a child molestor bf for a couple of months (unknown to me)- untill i had him put in jail, and her family managed to talk some sense into her. lying in court is recently - and she still is not letting me see my daughter.. but the other things were yr & a half/2 yrs ago...\nsuggestions on how to procede? i'm a student who's got about $1400 - trying to decide if i should get my own place & take custody.. or do something else. I'd really love to have custody.

Get on this NOW ~ as in first thing tomorrow morning and, by that, i mean unless you have a final exam at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, then you need to be sitting in Student Legal Services at 8:00 a.m., telling the secretary/assistant that you have an emergency involving the well-being of your child.


I hate the pistons because gay Rasheed Wallace did a completely !#$@$@$ @#$@#!$!@ intentional foul on D Wade to ruin the series and miami's first win. So i hate the entire team because they play dirty! Wade and Shaq are the best though!

I dont know if the Pistons suck eggs, but I am the worlds number one Heat fan and I hope that Miami can win.  But lets not get too cocky like it seems Detroit has gotten.  Lets just hope the Heat keep playing their game and dont get overconfident and keep doing what theyre doing.  But yes, I hate Rasheed Wallace with a passion too.


My friend at school is really good looking.  We write letters to each other and it's the one way we communicate the most.  He is portuguese, i'm coloured (half white - half black).  (I live in South Africa).  He said i'm his best friend.  He also says things like, lotsa love, urs with love, etc...  He also seemed worried when i was a few minutes late for school, he was like, i was just wondering, just a little late.  I like him, but i want to know if this seems like he likes me too.  Also, ironicly, he wants to one day wed in spring, on a Saturday, outside.  I want a wedding in November, on a Saturday, outside, in light misty rain with horses...  What do you think?  (I'm 15, i'm not interested in weddings now, don't worry...)

He likes you, you should say something! It would help you a lot!!!!! He obviously fells for you, so don't be afraid to say how you feel. I'm in your situation, and I know how you feel, but you'll never know until you ask!

There was a city in the bible where people were acting very wicked and self-indulgent, but when they got a warning from a prophet, they changed their ways and God spared their city from destruction. Can any atheist name that city?

Why do people always assume that athiests are nonbelievers out of ignorance? A lot of us are learned enough about various religions to have the capacity to question the beliefs man has created for himself.


Please include social, economic, etc.. views that a liberal would have.

Depends what kind of liberal you mean (classical, American, etc.)\n\nAny way, it's such a huge answer I would just look it up on wikipedia.\n\nHere are some positions Americans liberals *may* take:\n\n    * A social "safety net" to minimize the suffering due to poverty, including welfare, medicare, unemployment benefits, health insurance, and retirement programs.\n    * Increased government role and funding for public education, public transportation, and alternative energy development.\n    * Increased regulation of business practices through OSHA, child labor laws, anti-trust laws, and minimum wage laws.\n    * Strong, government-protected labor unions\n    * Civil rights, including laws against discrimination based on gender, race, age, religion, sexual orientation, or disability.\n    * Affirmative action and transitional multi-lingual educational programs for children whose first language is not English.\n    * Broad voting rights\n    * Public assistance for undocumented aliens\n    * A spirit of international community and service to all people\n    * A woman's right to an abortion in private and without interference\n    * The right of the terminally ill to end their life\n    * Laws to protect the environment\n    * The elimination of the death penalty\n    * Animal rights\n    * Gun control\n    * A progressive tax system\n    * Marijuana legalization\n    * Advocacy of stem cell research and support of scientific study\n    * Adherence to the principle of separation of church and state\n\n\n\nShould add that Republicans over the last few decades have successfully turned the word "liberal" into a bad wor. So in politics what is and what is perceived to be "liberal" is not so clear.


I know it's a silly question but the 2 of them really look alike, as if they could be father and son.

Um.....I'm pretty sure they have no relation. If they did they'd make a whole lot more jokes on SportsCenter about it, they love you weave those little things in so since i've never heard it i don't think it's true. (I watch SC Daily and it's never been metioned).


Some say by travelling through this thing, we can travel through time? Penin laa!

yes it do.\n\nIn physics, a wormhole (also known as Abbreviated Space) is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime that is essentially a "shortcut" or "abbreviation" through space and time. A wormhole has at least two mouths which are connected to a single throat. If the wormhole is traversable, matter can 'travel' from one mouth to the other by passing through the throat.\n\nThe name "wormhole" comes from an analogy used to explain the phenomenon. If a worm is travelling over the skin of an apple, then the worm could take a shortcut to the opposite side of the apple's skin by burrowing through its center, rather than travelling the entire distance around, just as a wormhole traveller could take a shortcut to the opposite side of the universe through a hole in higher-dimensional space.\n\nThere is a compact region of spacetime whose boundary is topologically trivial but whose interior is not simply connected. Formalizing this idea leads to definitions such as the following, taken from Matt Visser's Lorentzian Wormholes:\n\nIf a Lorentzian spacetime contains a compact region Ω, and if the topology of Ω is of the form Ω ~ R x Σ, where Σ is a three-manifold of nontrivial topology, whose boundary has topology of the form dΣ ~ S², and if furthermore the hypersurfaces Σ are all spacelike, then the region Ω contains a quasipermanent intra-universe wormhole. \nCharacterizing inter-universe wormholes is more difficult. For example, one can imagine a 'baby' universe connected to its 'parent' by a narrow 'umbilicus'. One might like to regard the umbilicus as the throat of a wormhole, but the spacetime is simply connected.\n\n\n\nIntra-universe wormholes connect one location of a universe to another location of the same universe(in the same present time). A wormhole should be able to connect distant locations in the universe by bending spacetime, allowing travel between them that is faster than it would take light to make the journey through normal space. See the image above. Inter-universe wormholes connect one universe with another [1], [2]. This gives rise to the speculation that such wormholes could be used to travel from one parallel universe to another. A wormhole which connects (usually closed) universes is often called a Schwarzschild wormhole. Another application of a wormhole might be time travel. In that case it is a shortcut from one point in space and time to another. In string theory a wormhole has been envisioned to connect two D-branes, where the mouths are attached to the branes and are connected by a flux tube [3]. Finally, wormholes are believed to be a part of spacetime foam [4]. There are two main types of wormholes: Lorentzian wormholes and Euclidean wormholes. Lorentzian wormholes are mainly studied in semiclassical gravity and Euclidean wormholes are studied in particle physics. Traversable wormholes are a special kind of Lorentzian wormholes which would allow a human to travel from one side of the wormhole to the other. Sergey Krasnikov tossed the term spacetime shortcut as a more general term for (traversable) wormholes and propulsion systems like the Alcubierre drive and the Krasnikov tube to indicate hyperfast interstellar travel.

(m)\n\nThe fundamental components of a general-purpose computer are arithmetic and logic unit, control circuitry, storage space, and input/output devices. If storage was removed, the device we had would be a simple calculator instead of a computer. The ability to store instructions that form a computer program, and the information that the instructions manipulate is what makes stored program architecture computers versatile.\n\nDigital computer represents all information using the binary numeral system. Text, numbers, pictures, audio, and nearly any other form of information can be converted into a string of bits, or binary digits, each of which has a value of 1 or 0. A piece of information can be manipulated by any computer whose storage space is large enough to accommodate the corresponding data, or the binary representation of the piece of information. For example, a computer with a storage space of eight million bits, or one megabyte, could be used to edit a small novel.\n\n \nVarious forms of storage, divided according to their distance from the central processing unit.Various forms of storage, based on various natural phenomenon, have been invented. So far, no practical universal storage medium exists, and all forms of storage have some drawbacks. Therefore a computer system usually contains several kinds of storage, each with an individual purpose

A stranger in a packed movie theatre asked me to hold her seat, I agreed and turned away at least 20 people who asked if it was taken. She never came back and after about 20 minutes I let someone else sit there. I think this is extremely rude, what is the etiquette for this situation?

Maybe next time say "Sure, for a few minutes. Then I'm going to let people sit there so hurry back." In reality, I don't know what I'd do. I'd want to be nice to everyone, and that wouldn't work.

i know that if i buy a savings ee bond for my child and use it toward college that the interest is tax free. my question is if i inherit the series ee bonds, can i gift them to my child who can then use them toward college expenses tax free?

I don't think inherited bonds qualify. According to the form 8815 instructions, \n\n"To qualify for the exclusion, the bonds must be series EE or I U.S. savings bonds issued after 1989 in your name, or, if you are married, they may be issued in your name and your spouse’s name. Also, you must have been age 24 or older before the bonds were issued. A bond bought by a parent and issued in the name of his or her child under age 24 does not qualify for the exclusion by the parent or child."\n\nFrom this, I would think that the bonds don't qualify since they were not issued in your name.

Now the river is full of crocodiles and were really hungry.Its imposible to swim across it. Now the man on the rocky side come up with a trick to get some of the apples.\nWhat will that be?

To use the stones to build a bridge to get accross to get apples?


God said he is a jealous god and there is no other god but him. If there is really no other god then why is he jealous?

The mere question "what if there are other gods?" implies that there is a correct, or most prominent one.  As the rest of your question unfolds, it becomes more apparent that you are in fact one of many who has been duped into thinking that a white Jesus is somehow responsible for your wrongdoings, or at least is willing to take the punishment for them.  This is purely ridiculous, and only places the concept of guilt and fear deep within the psyche, usually started before an individual can talk, in addition to removing any responsibility.  \n\nThe Christian God as you know him in your mind, and as many others know him as well, is only a social creation of the power-holders, in order to subdue the masses.\n\nThere are several deities throughout the cosmos...just listen and talk.


i am feeling realy sorry for some of you really sorry

hey everyone has different reasons for visiting an posting in this site. i think its pretty cool and i am amazed at what people say. i admit its funny and sometimes very stupid questions.i only feel sorry for people who are on line 24/7. its good to be on line you also need t be around people. that's just horrible!! anyways this site is pretty interesting. sometimes there's questions you cant actually stand up and ask.  so you can feel comfortable. or whatever reason. as for my stupid questions...I'm surprised how many people are actually supportive and informing me with there intelligent information. as for sellfesteem , confidence, accepting who you are, most of all listening to your own advise. dont always rely on other people. no one knows you better than ure self. iight hun... good question. good luck

What stupid question should I ask that you would like an answer to?

Sorry, folks, we try so hard to keep her on a leash.  She just keeps getting loose.  This happens every time she gets near a computer.  Her doctor told us to keep a close eye on her but it is hard to do 24 hours a day.  Hey grannywinkie!!!


up front i just wanna credit card in my possession just in case of an emergency but dont wanna have to pay a bunch of out of pocket fee before i even get so what is my best bet ?

I just got a Capital One card for my first. I have no credit, so the APR is super high (19%), but it has no Annual fee, so if I only use it for small purchases that I pay in full when the bill comes, I will not have to pay anything extra and I still get to build my credit.


I've been following this illegal immigration forum and find it by far the most interesting here at Yahoo!Answers. However, since it seems clear that neither side is giving in, I wonder to what extent it is of any use to the parties involved. Do you feel it may be useful to sway the undecided? To reinforce the beliefs of the other people already on your side? To (no this is not a jest) humanize and deepen your understanding of the opposite side, thus allowing to reduce the gap and increase the chance of some compromising solution?

The only thing ive noticed is no one is prepared to listen to anyone elses views, sticking to theyre own even if it is wrong, unjust or just a plain dumb response.\n\nBut then that probably because its easier to argue over something when you dont know the facts and realise the world is changing everyday than to be bothered putting it a critical argument.\n\nI mean so many people have said its against the law as if they never take a step outside the front door and cause a crime. I mean, how many here have downloaded a movie off the internet...then have the hypocracy to say the illegals are breaking the law. I can bet a fair few of them, and those who say no ive never done a crime and just talking out of theyre arse.


i have one cd so if you could have your answers not from it that would amke me happy, but i do want some votes from my cd. my cd is from under the cork tree. so all answers accepted.


I was mugged a month and a half ago, during which time I was hit repeatedly in the lower stomach and between the legs. Starting about a week after I left the hospital, I began collapsing in the street, or other times I was walking. First, I get a tingling sensation in my vagina, which quickly becomes a pain which travels up my back and I fall over, without actually losing consciousness, my muscles just go limp. I went and talked to a doctor, but he said it would pass and he couldn't do anything. I feel very unsafe collapsing while walking through NYC, any ideas? Could this be nerve damage?\n\n(P.S. The pain is usually accompanied by an orgasm and the expulsion of fluids.)

it could be post tramatic stress syndrome where you are worried about it happening again and your body goes into a phase where it reacts as if its happening again. the orgasim thing i wouldnt worry to much about. for the last 6mo, i have been having chest pain and if you look at every medical website out there, and i told you the symptoms that accompany my chest pain you would tell me i am having the exact symptoms of a heart attack. i have been to a cardiologist and have had many, many tests done and there is nothing wrong with my heart, lungs or anything in my chest. the very idea that i will have an attack will bring on an attack. you could be experiencing the same thing. the fear that it will happen again makes your body react to the way it reacted when the action took place. i would talk to a family dr about it and see someone about it. usually you can see someone for about 20 mn once a month, just to give them updates and such, and it is very affordable. also, you might try to go to webmd.com and read about home treatment for panic attacks.


peace- no war. cause war relates to death and killing, war is unnecessary. everything should be handle through peace, unity and understanding....


besides ipecac, I'm looking for a safe way to vomit in case i take too many pills at once. (I'm chronically ill and they make me nauseous sometimes, but I have trouble throwing them up so i can take them again later or with more food.) Thank you for all the advice you can give me.

Yes, it does. You take a glass of warm water and add sufficient salt, then drink and vomit.\nI will not advice this daily. I think you are a cough patient. If so you should use Neem (a tree seen all over india) Leaves.If you are a cough patient it will work as medicine also and reduce your cough.\nIf you are a patient of excessive bile, salt will increase it. Salt will increase hypertension and body pains if present.

Basically while driving you will see that sun is very low, in India this is not so anytime of the year. It must have something to do with longitude or earth's inclination or may be atmosphere is thinner as we go farther from equator and that's why sun appears more intense.

In the mid-latitude regions like the 48 contiguous states of the US, the path of the sun (the ecliptic) across the sky is lower than it is in the tropics. \n\nIf you lived at the equator, the sun would pass directly overhead at true noon on an equinox day (it passes directly overhead where I live this week, and again in July). We say this is 90 degrees from the horizon.\n\nIf you lived at one of the poles, the sun would barely skim the horizon in the summer--getting only as high as 23.3 degrees, and not appear at all in winter. \n\nIf you lived at 45 degrees latitude north, the highest the sun would ever get in your sky is about 68 degrees from the southern horizon on the summer solstice.\n\nIf you were to trace the path of the sun from the horizon as it rises and sets--you might suffer permanent damage to your eyes, so don't--you would find that in North America the angle is more acute than it is in the tropics, because of the lower path in the sky.\n\nFor these two reasons, the sun spends more of its "day" near the horizon in the US than it would in many places in India. On the other hand, there are some places in the US that are farther south than some places in India!


this guy i like,(im pretty sure that he likes me) sais that he only eats dinner, and that is only a snack-- he isnt that skinny either too...\n\nand also he sais that he has lots of trouble sleeping. and only gets a few hours of bed-rest.\ni am pretty sure that there has to be a connection between the two.\n\nand i am trying to figure out how i can get him to sleep and eat more.\n\n-------------\nbut--- we are both in highschool and i only see him durring school. we still havent gone over to each others houses yet though. ---- hopefully i can talk to him about it at the mall today. \n---------------\n\nwhat do you all think is the reason for his condition, and what should i ask him..?

There have been numerous studies performed that have linked weight to the amount of sleep you get.  Many have shown that people who get less than 6 hours of sleep a day are normally overweight.  Levels of your hormones are constantly rising and dropping throughout a 24 period.  Cortisol is responsible for regulating metabolism and is over-produced when the body is under stress (not getting the proper amount of sleep).  Results of a lack of nutrition and sleep will lead to impaired congnitive performace, imbalanced insulin production (diabetes!!!), lowered immunity, more fat deposits (LDL=bad cholesterol), etc etc etc...!\n\nYou might want to enlighten him on the negative effects his way of living could hurt him over time.  As long as you're not in his face or commanding him and if he's smart, he'll take this all seriously.


what is the naughyiest dare you have EVER done?


Please see if you can help me put this in an equation, I know it's my homework and I don't mean for you to do it.  Just because I am very weak in word problem. Don't seem to get it down correctly.  Thank you for your help.  Please don't answer if you don't mean to help.\nFor 1989 and 1990 Dave Johnson had the highest decathlon score in the world. When Johnson reached a speed of 32 ft/sec on the pole vault runway, his height above the ground t seconds after leaving the ground was given by h = -16t^2 + 32t. (The elasticity of the pole converts the horizontal speed into vertical speed) find the value of t for which his height was 12ft. Determine for how long was Johnson more than 14ft in the air?

For the value of t for which the height is 12, substitute 12 in for h, and solve for t.\n\nh = -16t^2 + 32t\n12 = -16t^2 + 32t\n16t^2 - 32t + 12 = 0\n4t^2 - 8t + 3 = 0\n(2t-3)(2t-1) = 0\nt=1.5s or t=0.5s\n\nThere are two answers: one is on the way up, and the other is on the way down.\n\nFor the second question, how long was he above 14 feet, you can do the same thing.\n\n14 = -16t^2 + 32t\n16t^2 - 32t + 14 = 0\n8t^2 - 16t + 7 = 0\n\nThis cannot be factored, but can be solved using the quadratic formula, giving the solutions:\nt = 1 + (sqrt2)/4\nt = 1 - (sqrt2)/4\n\nThese solutions again represent a value for on the way up and on the way down.  The difference between the two values is:\n\n2*(sqrt2)/4 = (sqrt2)/2 which is approx 0.707 s

i have to write a story in class and i need help with the imparfait and passe compose form of verbs so can you tell me what i did wrong on this story so far????\n\n\nP3-4\nIl y avait quatre personés dans ma famille: ma mère était très intelligente, mon frère était toujours sportif et mon père était content.\n\nMa Famille allait souvent  un parc d’attractions: on faisait une visite guidée et on jouait au foot. \n\nQuelque fois, mon père dormait pendant que ma mère et moi écoutions la chaine stéréo.\n\nP5-6\nMais un weekend, nous sommes allés au ferme et nous avons regarde les oiseaux.\n\nÀ la ferme, nous avons fait de l'équitation et mon mère jouait au volley. \n\n\n\nP7-8\nMes amis habitaient a cote de moi. Jean était super cool et John était très fort.\n\nMes amis et moi toujours allions au cinéma, souvent à la plage et d’habitude au zoo.\n\nQuelque fois dormais pendent que mes amis rirait.\n\nP9-10\nMes amis et moi allée au cinéma deux fois.    \n\nJe suis regarde la télé ensuite j’ai mange.\n\nJe suis arrivée enfin, j’ai dormi.

Tonight I got caught with pot ( more than 2.5 grams but less than 10) Alcohol (im underage) and paraphenalia.  The cops didnt read me my rights when arresting me.  Now tell me, what do you think will happen when I go to court?  What will my punishment be?

Doesn't matter if they read your rights or not, that will only get you out of any incriminating statements you made... Do you have a record of any kind?  If not try to get a plea deal for probation and have the charges reduced to disorderly conduct.  What area/city/state are you in?  That makes a big difference too.  If you do get infront of the judge explain how you just graduated and weren't thinking right and you know you made some bad decisions and other crap he wants to hear... and dress nicely...  Theoretically you could get jail time and have your license suspended (in PA 6 mo for posession and another 6-12 for underage alcohol...)  but, like I said, if you have a clean sheet, and your look nice and act nice and make sure the judge knows how sorry you were you should get off with a tap on the wrist... a year or two of light probation and a fine... remember though, if you get stuck with posession it follows you for the rest of you life as a drug conviction, so do whatever to get that reduced...

I mean there was as much oil produced and consumed today as yesterday as a month ago so are they creating profit for themselves out of nothing?

yes, essentially. they are just betting on the future supply of oil, which seems dumb when right now the price should be much lower. unfortunately this is not anti-american. capitalism is the american way and overall, it is a great system. we just have to live with a few unfortunate excesses.


I am a graphic designer, and until recently, I didn't require my clients to give me a deposit for work. lately, I have a few clients that wait months to pay, and then they don't pay the invoice in full. I have since revised my fees and require a deposit, but in the meantime, I am debating whether to inform my existing clinets of my new policies and let the chips fall where they may, or just dropping them because I know that they won't change their ways. They are not big clients, I am not making alot of money off of them and they are bad payers. What would be the best way to handle this situation?

By all means, send ALL clients a letter informing them of your new policies. They will then decide if they wish to remain a client of yours in good standing or not. To not inform them raises the appearance of having a stated payment policy, but only requiring some of your clients to follow it. This could give new clients a reason to challenge your policies. If the slackers leave because of the new policy, no big loss. You will have handled it in a professional manner.

Q1.Differentiate between upcasting & downcasting. Explain with reference of classes  (java)

In the object oriented world of thinking you have objects that are made of classes. These classes can be ordered through a special inheritance relationship into hierarchies of parent/child relationships. \n\nUpcasting means taking a reference to an object and changing\nits type to that of any of its parent classes. (for java, add to this list also all the interfaces that any of the parent classes may be implementing)\n\nFor example:\nclass A extends B{\n}\nclass B{\n}\nclass Program{\n\n    .......\n    B b = new B();\n    A a = (A) b; // this is upcasting!\n    .......\n}\n\nUpcasting in java is implicit. This means that you dont need\nthe preceding parenthesis with the upcasting type.\n    A a = b;\nwould have equally worked. This is because you are going from something specific (class B - child) to something more general (class A - parent) and the java compiler can infer this fact by its design.\n\nDowncasting is the opposite:\n    .......\n    A a = new B(); //here you have an object from class B\n                   //referenced to a variable of class A\n                   //Implicit upcasting happens here.\n\n    B b = (B) a; // this is downcasting.\n\nDowncasting must be explicit. If you try to downcast an\nobject to a type that cant be downcasted to, then the compiler will offer protection by giving you an error.\nOtherwise your program would have crashed at runtime.\n\nYou can test with the operator instanceOf whether a \ndowncast is safe.\nexample:\n   if (a instanceOf (B)) { \n        b = (B)a;\n   }\n\nThe problem with this is that it creates a dependency in that segment of code and the type B. If in the future you create sibling to B classes you will have to remember to change all the places where you are checking with "instanceOf" and this can be a try nightmare on a large system.\n\nSo, generally speaking, you want to create code that avoids downcasting. This is not always possible and not always a good idea as there are many cases where explicit downcasting is needed or at least is possible to use without problems. \nAgain generally speaking, you want to create designs that have parts that are as independent, decoupled, reusable, robust, modular, and change adaptive as possible. This is not easy because many of these forces lead you to contradictions. So its all about making choices.\n\nfor an easy visual guide to java have a look at an online tutorial that I have recently added to: http://www.thanassis.com/java/index.htm


Please tell me if youve been through it or at least experience it before, and im also trying mainly to workout in my tummy area.

MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS CORRUPT REGIME *IS* ABOVE THE LAW.

Cheney's friend did not die, the same can not be said for Mary Joe Kapekne.  Before you go and say that was so long ago do not forget the rape case in the Kennedy coumpound in West Palm Beach, and just recently another Kennedy was popped driving under the influence and was given the same preferential treatment as good old Teddy. Let's not forget Jefferson who accepted a $100,000 bribe then gets upset because the FBI searched his office as part of the investigation. What Clinton did (&^%*# an intern) would have gotten any CEO of a US company fired, but nothing was done for that (remember the empeachment was for lying to the Grand Jury under oath). Another Dem smacks a security guard because he asked her for I.D... Let's face it ALL politicians get preferential treatment. That's the problem, if you want to say the other side gets more preferential treatment I could go on. If I really have to go on, there is just no sense of doing so.


I have an ex-boyfriend who wants me back, a long-term guyfriend who wants to go out with me, and a guy from work who's been after me. I am lonely, but I don't really want any of them. All three are complicated situations. Why is it that I always get stuck in these impossible situations?

Remember when you least expect something, then usually something happens. Many people will tell you that the person  they fell in love with, had know intentions of falling in love with them. \n\nI would ask yourself why you and the ex-boyfriend ended the relationship. If you cannot think of any significant reasons for the break-up, then you may want to reconsider the second chance. If you ended with a nasty fight, then NO WAY!  That relationship is done and staying with him will only result in more turmoil. That is a fact! So do not settle for anything less then your fantasy man. If you do not set your standards high then you wont get what you want. That's a fact also.\n\nAs for the long term friendship, consider your feelings for him and ask yourself if you ever think about him the same way as other guys you have dated. If you have, even for a moment or in a hot dream that you had about him one night, then maybe you to should have a sit down talk with him about the consequences of trying to have a relationship deeper then a friendship. If it is what it is, then the conversation should roll off your tongue with ease. You should be able to talk freely about everything including the hot dream about him. Think about where you are in your life and think about weather a boyfriend has a place that fits into your life at this moment in time. If you are not sure or if you have something that you are dedicated to accomplishing, then I would say hold off on building a deeper relationship with your long term friend because thing will get complicated for you. The reasons are simple, if you deepen your friendship and it does not work out, the break-up will be very emotional and cause you to lose focus on other aspects of your life. This relationship will be much more difficult to end because you will not only break-up with your boyfriend but you will lose a friend also. Make sure you are prepared for what lies ahead before jumping into this one.\n\nAfter all this, Its sounding like maybe you should consider a date with the guy from work. What do you have to lose? Even if the date really sucks, then at the very least, you will have more experience to make wiser decisions going forward. Don't forget about the free diner you get with the date. Another reason is because sometimes a date with someone else can have a way of answering other questions that you may have about other guys. Don't underestimate the power of surprise, after all it is a surprise!\n\nLast important advise that I have for you is very important!  If you are sexually active in any way, now is not the time! You are in a place in your life where you cant make a decision about who to date. If you decide to give one of them a chance and then it does not work out the way that you planed, well you may lose the right guy if you did something that you end up regretting. Guys are very unforgiving sometimes even if they say that they forgive you. Trust me on that one!\n\nThere is no way to avoid some type of sadness as a result of your decision. Someone will be hurt! Do the right thing and do not make things worse for the one that will be hurt. You will remain a star in there eye and you will also leave a door open in the future if things do not work out with the guy you decide to date.\n\nBest of luck to you! You will need it. You must be really something special to have such decisions. Always ask yourself, "what is the right thing to do" and you will do the right thing! Have faith in yourself.

Would you be a better christian if you show some compassion with illegals?

Yes i believ eit does. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors and Mexico is definently our neighbor. He taught us to wash the feet of lepers and be kind to prostitutes.

about a few days ago , i felt a pain and discomfort on the lower left section of my abdomen , after those few days i am bleeding 2 weeks before my period. this happens quite often and i wonder if i have a problem in my ovary.

I'm not sure about the bleeding, but the pain could be due to ovulation.  I have had painful ovulation many times.  sometimes it's so extreme that it was at one time taken for appendicitis.  I was told that sometimes an egg bursts and causes a lot of pain, right about mid-cycle.  Tell a gynecologist about it.


i have pain from 5 years in my neck and hands. i think it nerves, veins and artries pain. I have used many tablet and excercise and tested urine and blood and took x-rays of my neck all that was clear in the report but i feel much pain

try to relax more. Dont tense up. Visit your local hospital and see others in lots worse pain, it'll make yours easier to bear. Dont be a wimp.

if women were to be kept indoors us men would have more work and more fun,,its a fact that women are a danger to society in general,a womans place is in the home, if they were to obey this ruling .we would live in a better society world wide.im very serious with my question,but im sure theres women out there that will disagree,but please think about it,,a womans place is to look after her man ,children and the home..end of.

You kinda sound abusive.  I'm guessing you're not married, and if you are... she must have very low self esteem to be with someone like you.  Just a thought.  Have a nice day!  :)

During Mahathir's era, Anwar was convicted but many people believe his innocence. When Abdullah Ahmad Badwi replaced Mahathir, Anwar was aquitted. It seems, the top executives can play with the law.

Here's another thing to think about...while some judges CAN be bought, they aren't even the real problem. The philosophy for being a judge is to have no political affiliate, to be fair and impartial, to listen to the merits of each case seperately and as presented. But some judges, especially a couple of new Supreme Court Justices, do not feel the need to represent the law, leaving their political views outside their courtrooms. Worse than one crooked judge in a million, is the zealot who believes it is his or her responsibility to "fix" what he or she believes is wrong in the world - and now has the power to do that! Scary stuff.


was it george custer, w.t. sherman, philip sheridan, u.s. grant???

It was Custer, I believe. As a side note no one cares about, my great uncle fought alongside Custer in that battle.


I think that this section is turning into an arena for atheists, christians, muslims and ... to use slang and rude words and discharge their mental stresses on each other.\n\nI only know that the devil loves making people fight with each other.\n\nCan't anyone talk with peace and solve your problems using logics. If you say you are humans you should be able to do it.\n\nI am sure that the shareholders of ammunition factories love this as it can be start for a good sale in future !

I think its because religions are polemic.\nReligion is not like sports, were both gymnastics and weight-lifting could be right; or fashion, were both black shoes or pink ones would go with a pink dress and black jacket. (Even though it's barely acceptable to wear a dress and a jacket... (It's SO last season...))\nTo have one religion is to say all others are wrong. Even atheists feel attacked when someone believes a religion, because in doing so, they're implying the atheist is wrong.\nEven in Wicca religions, that supposedly embrace diversity (any Wiccan can be at the same time anything he/she wants), believers are implying that other religions are wrong since they don't let you have more than one religion.\n\nSo really, religion is like a stubborn king, because it refuses to cooperate with other kings and believes he is the only one who should be in the throne. Which cannot be proved wrong because the throne is so narrow...\n\nAnd again, some Wiccan is probably going to stand up offended and say "Any one could be Wiccan and Catholic--" or somehting-- "at the same time!"\n\nBut the truth is that every religion has a set of statements and saying they hold true is saying another religion's don't. I.E.- I've never seen and never expect to see a religion that says "Oh, this other religion is a true religion too, so you can switch between religions if you want. There's honestly no reason why you should choose one and not the other"\n\nSo by being into a religion--or rather, by not being into a certain religion, you offend everyone who is. That's why everybody has something polemic to say, because the nature of the religions is polemic. They don't just say a point is wrong, they say the person who made it is.\n\nHolding a stand is inevitably saying all other stands are wrong. Go ahead, say I'm wrong. Sooner or later you'll get it.

rather hire or work with an Illegal alien who is a good person, and takes care of hers or his family? or a U.S. citezen with a prison record?\n\nAnd I am aware that some of these illegal people are not all good as well as U.S. Citezens.

shoot i would work with both i mean what is the differance with who you work with we all got to make a living.


I don't want any problems between them, and I don't see my father in law that way.

Yes. Your husband should know what his father's been up to.\nAnd make sure you are very clear with your father in law that his attention is unwanted and highly inappropriate.


is there anything could stop growing or atleast the growth of hair on ny face.

Yep!  You can go get laser hair removal.  It actually kills the root though so the hair will never grow back.  Some people need up to five treatments, but it is so worth it!  Imagine never having to shave again!  \n\nOnly thing is before you do this make sure you are never going to want facial hair.  Even if you don't do so many treatments that all the roots die it will be really, really thin.  Too thin to grow anything you'd be proud of...lol.\n\nWell, here is a link to a really good laser clinic.  They are who I use and recommend.  Good luck!\n\nwww.advancedlaserclinics.com

I believe it was one of the islands off of Indonesia.

It wasnt fictional, it was a real island \n\nKrakatoa (Indonesian name: Krakatau) is a volcanic island in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. The name is used for the island group, the main island (also called Rakata) and the volcano as a whole. It has erupted repeatedly, massively and with disastrous consequences throughout recorded history. The best known of these events occurred in late August 1883.\n\nThe 1883 eruption ejected more than six cubic miles (25 cubic kilometres) of rock, ash, and pumice [1], and generated the loudest sound ever historically reported — the cataclysmic explosion was distinctly heard as far away as Perth in Australia (Approx. 3100 km), and the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius (Approx. 4800 km). Atmospheric shock waves reverberated around the world seven times and were felt for five days. Near Krakatoa, according to official records, 165 villages and towns were destroyed and 132 seriously damaged, at least 36,417 (official toll) people died, and many thousands were injured by the eruption, mostly in the tsunamis which followed the explosion.\n\nThe eruption destroyed two-thirds of the pre-existing island of Krakatoa. New eruptions at the volcano since 1927 have built a new island, called Anak Krakatau (child of Krakatoa).


Being a Engineering graduate i look at a PG abroad. Can any one tell the possible scholarship or fellowship available for indian students for hiogher education abroad. Also the terms and conditions which would be applicable for availing it.

Have you considered Fulbright?  Or the Rotary Club Ambassadors program?  There are numerous fellowship programs that aren't restricted to US citizens.  Check out this site for some ideas: http://www.finaid.org/scholarships/prestigious.phtml\n\nGood luck!


i want to learn some topic for telecommunication and electronic engineering by reading books on internet because i have no varity of books

You do have a couple of options.  \n\n(1) Prof. John Cioffi from Stanford has a decent intro to digital communications on his website.  The chapters are spread out, but the link in [1] contains the first three chapters.\n\n(2) MIT OpenCourseWare, where you can browse class notes from several different classes, both graduate and undergraduate.  See [2].\n\n(3) If you live near a public school, head to their engineering library and see what they have to offer.  This is your best bet if the resource is there.


6 yr old's science project.  This is what he wants to do.  I had more mommie friendly projects, but now he is curious.  Also what do you sugest I use for materials?

Part of the problem is that word "suspended."  It sounds like the planets are "suspended" *from* something, which is not true.  That's why I worry about the mobile idea, with planets "hanging" from coat hangers, as it just reinforces that idea.\n\nThe other thing is that the motion of the planets (their orbit around the sun) is an important ingredient.  They are far enough away that we can't see how fast they are moving.  So they seem to be quite still in the sky (like stars) ... again they *appear* "suspended."  Again, a hanging mobile just reinforces the notion that all the planets are perfectly still.  (BTW, this is why I think every parent should teach a child to find a couple of planets in the sky every few evenings, so the child gets the notion of how it changes position relative to the constellations.  Mars is always really easy to spot, and these days, Saturn is really bright!  That alone can get a child hooked on stargazing, and on science in general!)\n\nHowever, all that said, the mobile idea (styrofoam balls hanging from string) is not a bad one for illustrating the concept of the solar system.  I would just recommend getting it rotating even a little bit to illustrate the idea that the planets are *orbiting* the sun ... they are *moving*.  That is the key lesson I would want a 6-year-old to take away from the project (although what's even more important is that he have fun doing it, and that he asks a lot of questions ... the point really, is to make science fun). \n\nThe actual answer to your "how" question (in case your son really wants to know) is: balanced forces.  The planets have *two* forces acting on them:  (1) the gravity of the sun pulling them inward; and (2) the centrifugal force caused by the speed of their orbit, pushing them out.  These two forces are just balanced enough to keep the planets from falling into the sun, or flying into space.  So if your son were a little older (say 10 or 11) I would try to incorporate elements in the project that represent these two forces.  I have some ideas (and I can present them if you like), but this would be more involved than you probably need to get.\n\nGood luck!


what I mean,why only ALLAH choose one of his messangers as a son and not all of them as sons.although we identify them as all are messanger from ALLAH .

Yes, because of man's lack of faith. And all it takes is one man to make a difference in the entire world. You are unique. You are very important to life whether you know it or not or whether you like it not. You may not seem to be important but you are. Your life plays a role in the future of this world. Without you, the world would not be the same. So one man, as the son of Allah, can influence the world, just as much as many men being the sons of Allah.


Just took the classic IQ test on the Tickle website and was wondering whats an average score??

IQ tests follow a sysetm of normal distribution. If the IQs of the entire population were put into a graph you would get whats known as a bell jar curve; a symmetrical line peaking in the middle. The value at this mid point would be 100. So the average IQ score is 100. A bit long winded, I know, but I thought just writing 100 looked a bit thin!


My marrage is falling apart and i was wondering how much it cost to get a devorce!

It all depends on how cooperative your husband will be, if you're going for spousal support, and if children are involved (and going for child support).  So many variables to consider.  If you really think divorce is the only answer, I think the first step is to start making appointments with family law attorneys that offer free consultation.  You can sit down with 4 or 5 of them do hear different opinions and estimates on how much it would cost.  If you don't want to go though an attorney, try looking for paralegals to help you with paperwork.  You can also go to your local courthouse and ask about the procedures for filling out divorce papers and all associated fees.


HOw can a person who has a child but has never met or seen this child find her? The child is now of age and this person would love to find and meet their child.Also the child, I don't believe, even knows that this person is their father. DESPERETLY SEEKING...

Well first of all since you are a girl asking this question so you are not the father. Therefore it is really none of your business. You need to stay out of it. You cannot invade someones privacy it is against the law.\nThere may be circumstances that you have no knowledge of.


Mythbusters totally busted this. One of them took a shower during a thunderstorm, and absolutely NOTHING happened.


i think yes because he cant do well for great teams like inter

The problem with Inter is not Mancini, it's Moratti.


It's been difficult, he's working and travelling to many places and always so busy, we can hardly talk. I've been working and living alone in another country, there's no family support, i'm not much of a religious person to fall back on faith. We can not be together for may be another 6 months or more. I've mostly been trying to  blank myself of the old sweet memories coz they hurt.Sometimes I don't know whom to trust with what I feel, ppl at workplace think the relationship is just a charade..Spent many a sleepless nights....ANY advice for me.

I was in a similar situation and being abroad and bored can cause you too think about things that should not be spoken. I got to know the area I was in a little better and did some traveling into other countries. I got involved in my community although I was an outsider and I read more books than anyone person should be allowed. I made friends of the opposite sex and they knew up front I was involved in a relationship. They had some negative things to say but I did not let it bother me. If you love him, hang in there but.....If there is only one fraction of a doubt in your mind, move on and don't let this hold you back from what your potential might be.


who thinks The Detroit Red Wings where cheated out.


Rontgen, Wilhelm Conrad (1845-1923) \nWilhelm Conrad Rontgen was born on March 27, 1845, at Lennep in the Lower Rhine Province of Germany, as the only child of a merchant in, and manufacturer of, cloth. His mother was Charlotte Constanze Frowein of Amsterdam, a member of an old Lennep family which had settled in Amsterdam. \n\nWhen he was three years old, his family moved to Apeldoorn in The Netherlands, where he went to the Institute of Martinus Herman van Doorn, a boarding school. He did not show any special aptitude, but showed a love of nature and was fond of roaming in the open country and forests. He was especially apt at making mechanical contrivances, a characteristic which remained with him also in later life. In 1862 he entered a technical school at Utrecht, where he was however unfairly expelled, accused of having produced a caricature of one of the teachers, which was in fact done by someone else.\n\nHe then entered the University of Utrecht in 1865 to study physics. Not having attained the credentials required for a regular student, and hearing that he could enter the Polytechnic at Zurich by passing its examination, he passed this and began studies there as a student of mechanical engineering. He attended the lectures given by Clausius and also worked in the laboratory of Kundt. Both Kundt and Clausius exerted great influence on his development. In 1869 he graduated Ph.D. at the University of Zurich, was appointed assistant to Kundt and went with him to Würzburg in the same year, and three years later to Strasbourg. \n\nIn 1874 he qualified as Lecturer at Strasbourg University and in 1875 he was appointed Professor in the Academy of Agriculture at Hohenheim in Wurtemberg. In 1876 he returned to Strasbourg as Professor of Physics, but three years later he accepted the invitation to the Chair of Physics in the University of Giessen. \n\nAfter having declined invitations to similar positions in the Universities of Jena (1886) and Utrecht (1888), he accepted it from the University of Würzburg (1888), where he succeeded Kohlrausch und found among his colleagues Helmholtz and Lorenz. In 1899 he declined an offer to the Chair of Physics in the University of Leipzig, but in 1900 he accepted it in the University of Munich, by special request of the Bavarian government, as successor of E. Lommel. Here he remained for the rest of his life, although he was offered, but declined, the Presidency of the Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt at Berlin and the Chair of Physics of the Berlin Academy. \n\nRontgen's first work was published in 1870, dealing with the specific heats of gases, followed a few years later by a paper on the thermal conductivity of crystals. Among other problems he studied were the electrical and other characteristics of quartz; the influence of pressure on the refractive indices of various fluids; the modification of the planes of polarised light by electromagnetic influences; the variations in the functions of the temperature and the compressibility of water and other fluids; the phenomena accompanying the spreading of oil drops on water.\n\nRontgen's name, however, is chiefly associated with his discovery of the rays that he called X-rays. In 1895 he was studying the phenomena accompanying the passage of an electric current through a gas of extremely low pressure. Previous work in this field had already been carried out by J. Plucker (1801-1868), J. W. Hittorf (1824-1914), C. F. Varley (1828-1883), E. Goldstein (1850-1931), Sir William Crookes (1832-1919), H. Hertz (1857-1894) and Ph. von Lenard (1862-1947), and by the work of these scientists the properties of cathode rays - the name given by Goldstein to the electric current established in highly rarefied gases by the very high tension electricity generated by Ruhmkorff's induction coil-had become well known. Rontgen's work on cathode rays led him, however, to the discovery of a new and different kind of rays. \n\nOn the evening of N

Youngest son had a vision at age 2, began saving earwax and belly button lint. Saved 38 coffee cans of wax, made wicks with button lint, is planning to line the walk from church to curb at his wedding and light the ear candles.  What is the spiritual significance of this ritual?  Is there a higher message here?  Is this an omen?  Is this a new trend?

I'm sure you think you are just uber creative with this, but you aren't.  It's trite and uninspiring.


I'm going on this date on Friday, with a bunch of people, and she wants to like hang out with this guy that I invited. He's not really cute, but I really like him! So I want to get her jelous, but I dont know how so can someone help me?. PLEASE!

You could try kissing him very passionately in front of her, rub yourself against him... Let him run his hand up your leg (and skirt if you are wearing one)...\n\nSomething as sexy as that would drive her mad, but get in there before she does...


But when they reach for a book or a cigarette, they fumble around to put their tops back on?\nI have asked my wife, but she answers: "We just do!"\nWhat sort of answer is that!

if a woman wants to hit a man like a man...should she get hit back? my first husband pulled plenty of cheap shots..then i fought back..my daddy didnt raise no sissies..i stabbed that mofo..broke a glass coke bottle over his head and hit him in the back with one of those heavy metal chairs like my gram used to have...then i had him jailed!! he tried another time and got stabbed multiple times...that was like 20 yrs ago and he still has scars!! power to us women!!  hes a coward and a loser

Stupid greedy corrupt pliticians of India are ready to impose 49.55%reservation on cast basis.They are runninig blindly behind votes of so called backward classes in process ruinig and ignoring qualification and merit.They are dividing society on cast basis and implementing social injustice.I hope people of India will wake-up and supprt the protest started by resident doctors of AIMS.God bless them.God fry arjun sing in rotten oil with rotten fish.

No thing is bad or good in its own stead. It is the way it is used, implemented and taken up which makes it bad or good. In India reservation was and is used to please some people and get quick votes, be it SC&ST provisions in constitution which was original for 15 years or implementation of Mandal commission after years of lying in bag. There are many aspects of reservation. It is fact there are some strata of society who need support to rise from their current status of poverty or backwardness.\n\n\nHowever there is opposition for reservation because the benefit of it are not going to actual people rather they are taken up by some people of these society who are already in up class are taking up these benefits whereas actual needy people are still at the same place. No one will object if a really needy get the benefit, You and all are furious since it is someone who is not needy who is reaping benefit.\n\n\nAs far as making economic condition as criteria is concerned, there is always good and bad of all thoughts. Good about this will be that this should be the correct way of deciding giving help however there are too many lacuna in this as getting certificate for economic background is very easy to get since no one file income tax return and there no proof of incomes for people other than salaried people so what will happen ultimately is again people who do not deserve the benefit will get it and needy will remain eluded with this.\n\n\nSo mantra for anything to be good and successful is honest implementation of the same.


Or are schools promoting teenage & pre-marital sex by recommending the use of contraceptives, instead of suggesting that such intimate relationships can wait till their text books are closed for a while?  Shifting focus on making a career instead of making babies?

I think it is sad that public schools are teaching kids what to do to prevent being pregnant istead of teaching kids wht NOT to do to be in a relationship that involves sex whilst at school.\n\nIf schools would spend more time and money into teaching kids how to become independent financially and self responsibility, the new generations would be a better bunch of people.\n\nKids were taught how they can rot the system by becoming irresponsible parents - making kids and then the welfare take over the responsibility to supporting them financially!  What would these kids learn?  That it is OK to lay on their backs or to push girls down and produce like rabbits!  Then draw fortnightly paychecks to support their irresponsible and ignorant lifestyles!\n\n@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The 1st is way left spiritual, not a bible thumper, but she speaks with guides, talks to the whales, and we're are never alone at dinner. a holy host of others around us she claims....she is very compassionate, a CCR, and like a 'hot Mother Teresa' goes places like Indonesia and New Orleans to help disaster victims..she is physically beautiful, intelligent, but all this channeling, crystals, and personal conversations with god as she knows him is a little strange...but interesting..\n\nThe 2nd is a bonafied atheist, who is a moral person, same as 'real' Christian, but less one god. she is not 'mad' at god for any reason, she just reasons because the lack of tangible evidence, there isn't one...and she does know the history!  She is very intelligent, a gifted artist, has a wicked sense of humor. she is cute, not as stunning, but has a better  personality. she is very passionate about her non-belief...\n\nI'm in the middle and must decide A or B before C gets busted.\nI want both of em!

why handcuffs need to be close at all times

When you go to handcuff a prisoner, arestee, suspect, etc...you need to be able to "slap" the cuffs on.  If they are open then it is more difficult to put them on.  If the person being handcuffed is combative or uncooperative, it is easier to "slap" them on and double lock them asap.  Note- when I say slap, you don't really slap them on as you could injure the person, breaking a bone.  Also it is not feasible to carry handcuffs around open, they will close on their own or catch on your clothing, causing dangerous situations.

A BROKEN HEARTS LAMENT\nDrops of rain, intermingled with salty tears\nRun down my face.\nThe street is empty, silent,\nSave for the soft thudding of the rain on the pavement.\nI long for you to retrace your steps back into my arms,\nYet I know in my heart that you never will.\nYou have shown me that I am nothing to you,\nExcept another notch in your bedpost.\nYou love me? How hollow it sounds now\nHow dead it is now.\nYou have killed the sentiments carried by the words.\nEverytime I remember you utter them in my presence\nA cynical smile reaches my lips.\nI will not allow this to pass me by.\nI start walking towards your apartment,\nYour address etched with fire upon my heart,\nAnd I relish this feeling filling my chest.\nMy lust for vengeance.

"Salty tears run down my face" is a very nice opening. The setting of the street and your melancholy is plain.  The angst of unreturned love is felt.  I thought it was going in the direction of "just one more chance, please baby!" and instead it turned to Passionate Vengeance!!  Very good poem.  I like it.  Good spelling, punctuation, literate.  I also like the line "I relish this feeling filling my chest."  Powerful statement.  :-)

However, one has to really understand as to why must a corporation spend its hard earned money in something where it doesn't see a return in directly. Lets analyze.\n\nSince corporations earn their profits directly or indirectly from the society, it is felt, in general, that a part of their earnings should be ploughed back into the society. This necessarily doesn't mean that it contributes only in the form of money but rather in the form of service. For example, companies like Microsoft contribute heavily to their chairman's foundation (sometimes as high as $ 1 billion).\n\nHowever, CSR is mainly objected on the grounds that the profits that a corporation earns, is strictly for the welfare and benefits of the shareholders. \n\nHowever, recent studies indicate that when a corporation contributes to their CSR fund, it only improves their image in the society and also with the government. In such a case a corporation may get eligible for various tax breaks from the government for their CSR activities. Some pro CSR economists also argue that CSR activities by itself are a good substitute to advertisements as CSR is widely reported in the general media as corporate news. It is generally seen that if a company contributes $1 in the form of CSR, it generally gets direct and indirect benefits of more than $1. It is precisely for this sound economic logic that the shareholders of big corporations have no objection in principle for a company's CSR activities.
